BY YONG-HO KIM The Associated Press PAJU, South Korea (AP) — North Korea warned early Thursday that its military has been cleared to attack the U.S. using “smaller, lighter and diversified nuclear” weapons, while the U.S. said it was strengthening protection in the region and seeking to defuse the situation.

Despite the intense rhetoric, analysts do not expect a nuclear attack by North Korea, which knows the move could trigger a destructive, suicidal war that no one in the region wants.

Look out below! Arbor Care employee Thomas Keesecker, of New Carlisle, brings down a section of an ash tree in a spray of sawdust on Hoewisher Road in Sidney Wednesday. The ash tree is being cut down because it has fallen victim to the plague of emerald ash borers that is destroying ash trees across America. “The bug flies, so when it sweeps through an area that's about curtains for them,” said Keesecker. The half-inch long green beetle, originally from Asia, was first detected in Ohio in 2003 and has spread to all parts of the state.

New audiences attracted to Historic Sidney Theatre Raise the Roof for the Arts (RTR) reflects on the first quarter of 2013 with a sense of pride and accomplishment. Due to the ongoing support of the community as well as the hard work of staff and Board of Trustees, The Historic Sidney Theatre has had a vibrant start to the year. The marquee came alive as

local performing groups and others used the Historic Sidney Theatre for events. In 2012, RTR saw 14 nonperformance events, six live theatrical productions, 17 performances, 171-plus rehearsal days with 6,000-plus users, 300-plus local performers, crew, artists and volunteers involved and more than

4,820 audience served. “The year promises to be just as eventful,” said Mardie Milligan, RTR board president. “Due to the hard work of our supporters, volunteers, performing arts groups, Board of Directors and staff, RTR and the Historic Sidney Theatre have been able to attract new audiences and increase

the number of partnerships we have with local area businesses and organizations. RTR also plays a strong role in the continued efforts to revitalize downtown Sidney. I am excited about the upcoming months and what is ahead for the Historic Sidney Theatre.” See THEATRE/Page 16

With legislation pending in the Ohio General Assembly to regulate or ban Internet cafes, Sidney Law Director Jeff Amick advised Sidney City Council at Monday night’s work session to take a wait and see approach before taking any action locally to regulate the operations. Amick noted that according to published reports, there are about 800 registered Internet cafes in Ohio, with about 100 being located in the Miami Valley. There is one Internet cafe in Sidney — Sweepstake Cafe, 1524 Michigan St. He said at the cafes, customers pay for Internet time or phone cards and use them to bet points on computers loaded with game, such as poker. The games offer cash prizes. He said the General Assembly attempted to enact legislation last year, but the Ohio Senate delayed a vote on a House bill, citing insufficient time to consider the issue. One new House bill would essentially ban the Internet cafes because they couldn’t offer prizes of more than $10. Another bill would create the State Lottery Commission Office of Sweepstakes Compliance to license and oversee sweepstakes gaming devices. The bill also would allow cities and townships enact local bans on Internet cafes. “It is far from clear whether statewide legislation will soon be enacted to regulate Internet cafes and if so, what the final content of any such legislation will be,” Amick said. Some Ohio communities have enacted local moratoriums on the establishment of new Internet cafes. Amick said that since state leg-

islation might “{trump” anything the city does, he suggested council take no action on the issue. “We will closely monitor what the General Assembly does,” Amick told council members. Street Superintendent Marty Keifer presented an urban forestry update during the meeting. Keifer said Sidney has gained Tree City USA recertification for the 24th consecutive year and the community also earned the Growth Award for 2012. The city will celebrate Arbor Day with a ceremony at Lehman Catholic High School. Keifer outlined the city’s tree pruning standards and plans for pruning operations this year. Keifer said the area for pruning operations this year will be in the west part of the city, from Russell Road to Campbell Road. An update on the emerald ash borer in Sidney was reviewed, with Keifer noting that a number of the 400 ash trees in the city will be removed this year. City crews will remove trees under 14 inches in diameter and the other larger trees will be removed through outside contracts. In addition the emerald ash borer, another pest is damaging trees in other parts of Ohio. “The Asian long horned beetle is another problem child coming down the road,” Keifer said. The Asian long horned beetle has been confirmed in Clermont County, which is in the Cincinnati area. Unlike the emerald ash borer, the Asian long horned beetle attacks a variety of trees, including maples, buckeye, horse chestnut, poplar, ash and others. Members of the Sidney Tree Board include Marcia Osborne, Ann Asher, Michael Jannides, Jerry Kauffman and John Laws. Vice Mayor Mardie Milligan is the

council liaison and Joyce Reier, administrative secretary, is ISA arborist. At the end of the meeting, council briefly discussed a recent court decision in a lawsuit in the brought by the Iowa League of Cities against the Environmental Protection Agency. The Eighth Circuit of the U.S. Court of Appeals ruled in favor of the Iowa League of Cities in its challenge to the EPA’s new process for handling wastewater. The court ruling states “the blending rule clearly exceeds the EPA’s statutory authority and little would be gained by postponing a decision on its merits.” The court vacated the mixing zone rule and the blending rule. City officials said while they are pleased with the decision, the ruling will be challenged, a process that could take years and the Iowa ruling doesn’t automatically pertain to Ohio since it is in the Sixth District Court. Sidney has objected to the EPA mandate that would require the city to expand the sewage treatment plant to handle 36 million gallons per day instead of the current 13.5 million gallons per day so that during a heavy rain period it would be able to treat all the water flowing into the plant. Currently, during a high-flow period the flow over the 13.5 million limit is bypassed and blended with treated water before being discharged into the Miami River. City officials point out that the bypasses have not adversely affected the Great Miami River water quality. The city is taking the approach of removing the clean water entering the wastewater collection system, thus reducing the amount of water flowing into the plant during a rainy period.

Wheeler, 46, began his professional career as a manufacturing engineer at General Motors. He became president and CEO of Airstream in 2005 after serving in several other positions with Thor Industries, which is Airstream’s parent company. “The Go RVing program plays a vital role in our industry’s effort to raise consumer awareness about the benefits of RVing and the RV lifestyle,” said Wheeler. “I’m honored to work with the talented members of the Go RVing Coalition, who have for years helped position RVs as a fun and affordable way to build lasting memories. As we look to furthering industry growth and expansion, I’m excited to be part of the team’s move towards more creative, impactful and innovative campaign executions.” Stinnett, who has been involved in Go RVing since it began in 1994 and has served as a co-chair since 2004, will continue to play a leadership role as a key con-

Ohio partners with feds to target food stamp fraud

AP Photo/Akron Beacon Journal, Phil Masturzo

FIRESTONE HIGH School senior David Krichbaum shows off his candy machine at A Wok Chinese Restaurant in Fairlawn March 26. The machine is one of six Krichbaum has at area businesses. Krichbaum doubled his sales after adding a “My College Fund” sign to the gum dispensers.

Sweet! Teen uses candy machines to help fund college AKRON (AP) — He’s saving for college 25 cents at a time. For Firestone High School senior David Krichbaum, that means handfuls of peanut M&Ms and shiny quarters, a ton of sales pitches and more than 200 rejections. This 17-year-old budding entrepreneur bought his first gum ball machine off Craigslist about 18 months ago “just for something to do.” He spruced up the vintage coin machine with fresh paint, tinkered with the gears a bit and plopped it down inside A Wok, a popular Chinese restaurant in Montrose. Since then, David has added six more vending machines in spots around Akron. But it wasn’t until he added a full-color “My College Fund” sign above the candy-filled globe that his business skyrocketed. “My sales doubled when I added that sign,” he said. His goal is to expand his market to 30 gum ball machine locations and generate $800 a month in profits. He already has been accepted into the University of Akron’s business college, where he estimates tuition and books will run him about $10,500 a year. The savvy businessman is repulsed by the mere thought of taking a student loan and accruing debt and interest payments that saddle so many of his peers. Although his parents are able to help defray his college costs, David is intent on paying his own way through school, one twist of the knob at a time. “I know my parents could, but I think I’m

L

going to try to do this on my own,” he said. “I just want to have some responsibility and at the same time get some experience in sales and business.” Theresa Krichbaum said her son always has demonstrated a creative, intuitive mind. Aside from the vending business, he also runs his own hot dog stand at special events around Highland Square. When he recently was denied a chance to sell his dogs at a local wrestling meet because of competitive reasons, he bought and opened his own cotton candy stand. “He’s always been a real thinker,” his mother said. “He’s always coming up with different ideas to make money or invent things.” One of David’s first inventions came when he was 10. To quench his thirst to fly, he designed and built a hang glider. He made one successful jump off the backyard shed. But it’s his candy vending business that David hopes will carry him through college and eventually to his own restaurant or other small business. A Wok was the site of his first vending machine. Initially, he sold gum and made no mention of his college fund. Profits were a puny $5 a month. Late last year, he added the “My College Fund” sign, along with his picture, phone number and email address. It was an idea that just came to him. The signs have brought him increased sales as well as sales job offers from a local clothier and a potato chip vendor.

DAYTON (AP) — The state is partnering with the U.S. Department of Agriculture to crack down on fraud in the federal food stamp program. The state and the federal agency will share information about their transactions, and the USDA will provide training and data-mining assistance to identify suspicious patterns of benefit redemption that could indicate illegal activities, according to the Dayton Daily News. The partnership was announced Tuesday. The USDA estimates that 1 percent of food stamp benefits are misappropriated because of fraud. The program dis-

tributed $74.6 billion in fiscal year 2012 — that means about $746 million was lost to fraud. Federal estimates show that Ohio might be home to $30 million in fraudulent food stamp use. Kevin Concannon, the USDA undersecretary for food, nutrition and consumer services, said the partnerships “will give the states and the federal government both the opportunity to share these electronic data systems, and we think we can help each other in that regard.” The USDA is in charge of investigating food stamp fraud by retailers and vendors. The state and county agen-

cies are in charge of investigating fraud among residents who receive food benefits. “It’s one thing to take the stores or the store owners out of the program, but there have to be consequences too for the individual households that may have trafficked benefits in those stores,” Concannon said. A common form of fraud involves people illegally selling or trading their benefit cards to friends, store clerks, drug dealers or others for cash, drugs or other non-food items. The USDA announced last May that it was giving states the ability to contact households that

requested multiple replacement benefit cards to determine whether the requests were legitimate or suspicious and required more probing. The Ohio Department of Job and Family Services said that more than 1.8 million people in the state receive an average of $135 in food stamps each month to help supplement their meals. Those with household incomes up to 130 percent of the federal poverty — up to $35,325 for a family of four — qualify for assistance. The USDA signed similar data-sharing agreements with Maryland and Virginia last month.

School takes down Jesus portrait CINCINNATI (AP) — A Jesus portrait that has hung in a southern Ohio school district since 1947 was taken down Wednesday, because of concerns about the potential costs of a federal lawsuit against its display. The superintendent of Jackson City Schools said the decision was made after the district’s insurance company declined to cover litigation expenses. He said the faculty adviser and two student members of the Hi-Y Club, a Christian-based service club that the school says owns the portrait, took it down at his direction. “At the end of the day, we just

couldn’t roll the dice with taxpayer money,” Superintendent Phil Howard told The Associated Press. “When you get into these kinds of legal battles, you’re not talking about money you can raise with bake sales and car washes. It’s not fair to take those resources from our kids’ education.” The American Civil Liberties Union of Ohio and the Madison, Wis.-based Freedom from Religion Foundation had sued on behalf of a student and two parents, calling the portrait an unconstitutional promotion of religion in a public school. The student and

parents weren’t identified publicly by the groups, saying they would face backlash from portrait supporters, some of whom had suggested that they should leave town and find another school. An ACLU spokesman said the school disclosed its decision at a federal court hearing Tuesday in Columbus. The organization will wait to see whether the portrait stays down. “The case is still open; there was no actual ruling (by the court),” spokesman Nick Worner said. But he added there would be no reason to pursue a court order if the portrait isn’t put back up.

Man arrested in shooting death of dog CINCINNATI (AP) — A man accused of using a stun gun on a pit bull that fought with his dog and then fatally shooting it at a public park where there were children has been arrested, police said Wednesday. Robert Marx appeared in Hamilton County Justice Court Wednesday on charges of knowingly

shooting a gun within city limits and criminal damaging. Convictions on both counts would carry a maximum of nine months in jail. The 74-year-old Marx, who was released on bond and placed on electronic monitoring, did not immediately return a message seeking comment on Wednesday. He

did not have an attorney. Kaitlynn Hornsby and Silas Parker, the Cincinnati couple who owned the dog that was killed, a 1-year-old named Bruski, went to Marx’s court hearing and asked that he not be allowed out on bond because they’re afraid of him. The judge turned them down but ordered

Marx, who also lives in Cincinnati, to stay away from the dog park and from Hornsby and Parker. Hornsby described Bruski as a lovable “big baby.” She said Bruski was just being playful with Marx’s mediumsized, long-haired dog when the other dog bit him.

NATION/WORLD TODAY IN HISTORY BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Today is Thursday, April 4, the 94th day of 2013. There are 271 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On April 4, 1968, civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr., 39, was shot to death as he stood on a balcony of the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, Tenn. (James Earl Ray later pleaded guilty to assassinating King, then spent the rest of his life claiming he’d been the victim of a setup.) On this date: • In 1818, Congress decided the flag of the United States would consist of 13 red and white stripes and 20 stars, with a new star to be added for every new state of the Union. • In 1841, President William Henry Harrison succumbed to pneumonia one month after his inaugural, becoming the first U.S. chief executive to die in office. • In 1850, the city of Los Angeles was incorporated. • In 1859, “Dixie” was performed publicly for the first time by Bryant’s Minstrels at Mechanics’ Hall in New York. • In 1912, China proclaimed a republic in Tibet, a move fiercely opposed by Tibetans. • In 1933, the Navy airship USS Akron crashed in severe weather off the New Jersey coast with the loss of 73 lives. • In 1949, 12 nations, including the United States, signed the North Atlantic Treaty in Washington, D.C. • In 1960, Elvis Presley recorded “Are You Lonesome Tonight?” in Nashville for RCA Victor. • In 1973, the twin towers of New York’s World Trade Center were officially dedicated. (The towers were destroyed in the terrorist attack of Sept. 11, 2001.) • In 1975, more than 130 people, most of them children, were killed when a U.S. Air Force transport plane evacuating Vietnamese orphans crashlanded shortly after takeoff from Saigon. • In 1983, the space shuttle Challenger roared into orbit on its maiden voyage. (It was destroyed in the disaster of January 1986.) • In 1988, the Arizona Senate convicted Gov. Evan Mecham of two charges of official misconduct, and removed him from office. (Mecham was the first U.S. governor to be impeached and removed from office in nearly six decades.)

OUT OF THE BLUE

Ex-catcher makes ballet debut MIAMI BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Former Major League Baseball catcher Mike Piazza will be taking center stage with the Miami City Ballet. The Miami Beach-based dance company has tapped Piazza to play the role of a gangster in the May 3 production of “Slaughter on Tenth Avenue.” Piazza won’t be dancing in tights. He’ll wear a 1920s-era gangster costume, say a few lines and then watch the rest of the performance from a seat onstage. Piazza says his turn with the troupe is his gift to his 6-year-old daughter, a student at Miami City Ballet School. The ballet features gangsters, strippers and an attempted murder plot. It originally appeared as part of the 1930s musical “On Your Toes.” Piazza had 427 career home runs and made 12 All-Star Game appearances.

Obama to return 5% of salary BY JOSH LEDERMAN The Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — Sharing a bit of budget pain, President Barack Obama will return 5 percent of his salary to the Treasury in a show of solidarity with federal workers smarting from government-wide spending cuts. Obama’s decision grew out of a desire to share in the sacrifice that government employees are making, a White House official said Wednesday. Hundreds of thousands of workers could be forced to take unpaid leave — known as furloughs — if Congress does not reach an agreement soon to undo the cuts. The president is demonstrating that he will be paying a price, too, as the White House warns of dire economic

consequences from the $85 billion in cuts that started to hit federal programs last month after Congress failed to stop them. In the weeks since, the administration has faced repeated questions about how the White House itself will be affected. The cancellation of White House tours in particular has drawn mixed reactions. A 5 percent cut from the president’s salary of $400,000 per year amounts to $20,000. Obama will return a full $20,000 to the Treasury even though only a few months remain in the fiscal year, which ends in September. He will cut his first check this month, said the White House official, who was not authorized to discuss the decision publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity.

The president and first lady Michelle Obama reported almost $790,000 in adjusted gross income in 2011, the most recent year for which their tax returns have been made public. That figure was down from the $1.7 million they brought in the year before and the $5.5 million they reported in 2009. About half of the family’s income in 2011 came from Obama’s salary, with the rest coming from book sales. The Obamas reported more than $172,000 in charitable donations. Wednesday’s notice followed a similar move a day earlier by Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel, who committed to taking a salary cut equal to 14 days’ pay — the same level of cut that other Defense Department civilians are being forced to take. As many as

700,000 civilians will have to take one unpaid day off each week for up to 14 weeks in the coming months. Obama isn’t the first president to give up part of his paycheck. Herbert Hoover put his salary in a separate account, then divvied it up, giving part to charity and part to employees he felt were underpaid, according to an interview he gave in 1937. John F. Kennedy donated his presidential salary to various charities, according to Stacey Chandler, an archivist at the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library. George Washington refused pay during the latter part of his military career, according to researchers at Mount Vernon. He tried to refuse a presidential salary, but Congress required that the position pay $25,000.

THIS IMAGE made from AP video shows doctors attending to an injured man at the local hospital in Farah, western Afghanistan, Wednesday. Suicide bombers disguised as Afghan soldiers stormed a courthouse Wednesday in a failed bid to free more than a dozen Taliban prisoners in western Afghanistan, officials said. Scores of people, including the attackers, were reported killed in the fighting. The assault in Farah province was the latest example of the Taliban’s ability to strike official institutions despite tight security measures.

Taliban attack Afghan courthouse, 53 killed KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — Insurgents wearing Afghan army uniforms launched a suicide attack and stormed a courthouse Wednesday in a failed bid to free Taliban inmates, killing at least 44 people, half of them shot in the basement. Nine attackers were killed. The attack — one of the deadliest in the more than 11year-old war — began about 8:30 a.m. when nine men wearing suicide vests drove into the capital of Farah province in western Afghanistan, evading checkpoints by using army vehicles, according to the provincial police chief. The standoff ended some eight hours later when the last gunman was killed. Insurgents have stepped up assaults targeting the Farah provincial government in recent months as they vie for control of an area bordering Iran to the west and Helmand province to the east. Farah has become increasingly volatile as the site of a growing drug trade after military offensives in neighboring areas. “The Taliban seem to be exploiting the opium harvest and the unpopular eradication

efforts by the government to further establish their presence,” Fabrizio Foschini, of the independent research group Afghan Analysts Network, said in a recent blog. Militants have staged highprofile complex attacks across Afghanistan in a bid to show their strength and undermine confidence in the central government. Wednesday’s assault was among the most brutal for civilians, raising fears of deteriorating security as international combat forces withdraw by the end of 2014 and hand over control to Afghan security forces. The attack began when two assailants blew themselves up inside one of the vehicles while the others jumped out and ran toward the courthouse and prosecutor’s office, provincial police chief Agha Noor Kemtoz said. Guards opened fire, killing one of the attackers, as the others engaged in a fierce gunbattle that left civil servants and government officials holed up in their offices. Other civilians fled to the basement of the courthouse, where gunmen found them

and killed 21 people, officials said. Kemtoz said the attack aimed to free more than a dozen Taliban prisoners who were being transferred to the courthouse for trial, which had not yet started. “Definitely the plan was to free the prisoners with this attack, but thank God, they did not succeed,” he said. “All the prisoners are accounted for.” Deputy provincial governor Yonus Rasouli, however, said one of the inmates had escaped. He said the suspects had been arrested in different places and faced a range of charges, including planting roadside bombs. Provincial Gov. Akram Akhpewak said those killed included 34 civilians, including judges and prosecutors, 10 members of the security forces and the nine attackers. Dr. Abdul Hakim Rasouli, chief of the Farah hospital, said 80 people also were wounded. Taliban spokesman Qari Yousef Ahmadi claimed responsibility for the attack in a text message sent to reporters, although some witnesses questioned whether the assailants were Afghans.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Evoking the U.S. shuttle diplomacy of decades past, Secretary of State John Kerry is making his third trip to the Middle East in a span of just two weeks in a fresh bid to restart long-stalled peace talks between Israel and the Palestinians. Though expectations are low for any breakthrough on Kerry’s trip, which begins Saturday, his meetings with Israeli and Palestinian leaders represent some of the Obama administration’s most sustained efforts at engagement in a part of the world that has frustrated American administrations for the past six decades. “His diplomacy will be based on what he hears from the parties,” State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said Wednesday. Kerry, she said, will be making clear that both sides have to want to get back to the negotiating table “and that they’ve also got to recognize— both parties — that compromises and sacrifices are going to have to be made if we’re going to be able to help.” Kerry is going at a precarious time. Overnight and into Wednesday, Israel and Gaza militants engaged in the heaviest fighting since a cease-fire was declared in November. The militants fired several rockets into southern Israel, and Israel responded with its first airstrike in Gaza since the fighting subsided. No injuries were reported on either side. But late Wednesday, Israeli forces shot and killed a teenage Palestinian protester during a clash in the West Bank. Kerry had planned to leave Monday for talks in London and then South Korea, China and Japan. But officials said he moved up his departure to Saturday for a first stop in Turkey, where he’ll seek to build on recent efforts by that nation and Israel to repair ties and coordinate on stemming violence in Syria. Kerry then travels to Jerusalem and to Ramallah in the West Bank, which he visited with Obama last month before returning to Israel a second time.

Crews corral loose Carnival cruise ship MOBILE, Ala. (AP) — The crippled cruise ship whose sewage-filled breakdown in the Gulf of Mexico subjected thousands to horrendous conditions tore loose Wednesday from the dock where it’s being repaired, lumbered downriver and crunched into a cargo ship. Wind gusts near hurricane strength shoved the 900-foot Carnival Triumph free from its

mooring in downtown Mobile, Ala., where the ship was brought in a five-day ordeal that began when an engine fire stranded it off of Mexico in February. Hours later, four tug boats used several mooring lines to secure the ship to the cruise terminal. A 20-foot gash about 2 to 3 feet wide was visible about halfway up the hull from the

water and it wrapped partway around the stern. Underneath the gashed area, two levels of railing were dangling and broken. Electric cables that had been plugged in on shore were dangling from the port — or left — side of the ship. Carnival said damage, though, was limited. The violent weather Wednesday also blew a nearby

guard shack into the water. One shipyard worker was rescued and crews were searching for another, a U.S. Coast Guard spokesman said, but the cruise ship’s mishap was unrelated. Some crew members and workers had been staying on the ship while it was being repaired and people could be seen looking out the windows and on the deck of the ship Wednesday.

Depending on your workforce, make sure safety training is available in multiple languages. • Create a work environment in which workers feel comfortable reporting unsafe work conditions or workplace abuse. • Provide the required equipment to keep workers safe, such as respiratory gear and hard hats. • Hold your subcontractors accountable for implementing safety standards and trainings. • Put in place mechanisms for recognizing and addressing the potential for workplace violence. Even our homes can be workplaces. If you employ domestic workers, such as health care aides, nannies

or house cleaners, learn what it means to be a responsible employer. • Practice fire safety drills and prepare your workplace for an unexpected emergency or disaster. • Take simple steps to create workplace wellness, such as posting hand-washing reminders, catering meetings with healthy foods or organizing workplace walking groups. Reach out to your local public health department — they can help. • Also, if you provide employer-based health insurance, consider certain financial incentives that can improve health, such as incentivizing employees to quit using tobacco. Think big . . . • Wear all personal protective equipment required or recommended for your job. • Participate in workplace safety trainings and take advantage of workplace wellness efforts, such as flu shot clinics or exercise programs. • Use your rights to advocate for safe and healthy workplaces — your voice can make all the difference for the workers that come after you. • Make your support for investments in workplace health and safety known and cite the dramatic progress that equitable public health policies have brought to all workplaces. Write a letter to the editor to your local newspaper or write to your policymakers. • Invite local policymakers and others to a community roundtable to discuss injury prevention and wellness in the workplace and follow up with specific actions.

Dear Heloise: My windshield has been streaky for a while, and I assumed I just needed to wash my car. My father told me I needed to replace my windshield wiper blades. He was right! Still learning from Dad. — No Name, No Shame, via email Your father was right! Wiper blades work best for about six months to a year, depending on several variables. Even if your car sits in the driveway and isn’t driven, exposure to heat, sunlight, weather and dirt can cause wipers to harden, crack or tear. Ruined wipers can leave a windshield streaked, which is a BIG safety hazard, especially in bad weather. April, known as National Car Care Month (sponsored by the Car Care C o u n c i l , www.carcare.org), is the perfect time to check the condition of your wipers. Check them for tears. Just lift the wiper a little and run your finger along the edge to feel for nicks, tears, etc. To extend the life of your wipers, clean them during your checks using a clean cloth (microfiber is my favorite) that you wet with window cleaner, then rinse with water. — Heloise PRICELESS GIFTS Dear Heloise: I have six grown children, and many grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Consequently, I have received many gifts in my lifetime. However, the greatest gift I have ever received is probably the least-expensive one of all. I received a fairly large jar with a lid on it, and a hand-written label stuck on the front, titled “Mom’s Memories.” My children write notes and secretly slide them in the jar anytime they visit. The notes are things they remember about growing up, things that were instrumental in their lives. Really heartwarming! — F.M.G. in Arkansas A heart hint that sings and lifts your spirits! Love it! — Heloise NICE NESTING Dear Heloise: When removing dryer lint, press it into a ball and tie with string or ribbon. Leave enough to tie to a tree, limb or bush. Birds and other wild animals use the lint to make nests, which keep their young warm. I use different-colored ribbons, which gives an attractive appearance to my garden. — Wanda S. in Texas What a sweet hint! Another hint is to comb the hair from a hairbrush and leave it outside for birds to use. — Heloise

In Psalm 51:10, David pleads, “Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.” God graciously gave David the forgiveness he desired. God has graciously given forgiveness to us also. We have just finished the Easter season. Now is not the time to put our Easter clothes away. Now is the time to live clothed in the forgiveness of God. Paul writes to the Colossians, “Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave

you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.” We heard the words from the cross on Good Friday: “Father, forgive them for they know not what they do.” This is the gift of forgiveness. This is our God, a giving God. God is generous and allforgiving. Can we not receive, can we not embrace, the gift of forgiveness. If God gives forgiveness, who are we not to give and receive forgiveness. Remember how much God forgave each and every one of us. It makes our issues seem minor. Give up the desire to punish. No longer blame or be angry with someone who has done you wrong. Receive and give the gift of forgiveness.

Ganger named clerk Botkins Council OKs appointment BOTKINS — The village of Botkins has announced the appointment of a new fiscal clerk. Tammy Ganger, of Houston, was appointed by Mayor Steve Woodruff and approved by Botkins Village Council members as the new fiscal clerk, Ganger replacing Teresa Featheringham, who left after accepting a job with the Shelby

County Educational Service Center. Featheringham’s last day was March 29. Ganger’s background includes experience in the area of agribusiness and banking. Ganger will receive a salary of $31,800 per year, and she may be eligible for a time clock bonus. She will be working full time and will attend mandatory evening meetings. Ganger will work directly for the mayor. An emergency ordinance was passed in order to waive the residency requirement since Ganger

is not a Botkins resident, which is required by the Ohio Revised Code, unless otherwise waived. Ganger begins her new position immediately. During the same meeting, council members heard the reading of three ordinances including: • Approved the third reading and passed an ordinance for a no passing zone in the village. • Approved the third reading and passed an ordinance approving a no parking zone in the village. • Approved the first reading of an ordinance approving placing village items on GovDeals.

Botkins to host art competition BOTKINS — Laura Reed-Mikolowski will take time out from her wedding weekend to judge the Botkins CarryIn Art Competition this Friday at the high school during the annual Evening with the Arts, from 6 to 8 p.m. “I asked Jim Dicke II if he could judge the show, and he said he’d like to but had to be in Washington, D.C., at the time,” explained Botkins art teacher Dan Knepper.

HONOR

“But his artist-cousin Laura would be in town for her wedding that weekend. Would I like her to do it? I thanked him and shared my thought that she might be a little busy and preoccupied, but he gave her a call, and she agreed.” Reed-Mikolowski has been a studio artist for 30 years and has a Master of Fine Arts degree from Cranbrook Academy. She did her undergraduate work at the

Cleveland Institute of Art, and she has work in San Francisco, Detroit and Chicago. “I think that makes her qualified,” Knepper said. This year’s show will have artists from as far away as Michigan to Cincinnati. There will be several Columbus artists, some Knepper met while painting at the recent Art at the Arnold event at Arnold Schwarzenneger’s

Columbus fitness expo. The Carry-In Competition falls at the end of a week-long painting workshop in Botkins lead by Columbus artist Steven Walker and Steven will be entering the competition as well. It’s not too late for artists to enter the competition and have a chance at the $1,000. For more information, contact Knepper by email at stillandforever@yahoo.com.

ARLO & JANIS

HOROSCOPE BY FRANCES DRAKE For Friday, April 5, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) New love might come your way today. A friend could become a lover, or a lover could become a friend. All your relations with others in groups will be warm and friendly. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) You might develop a crush on a boss or an authority figure today. Alternatively, someone might ask for your creative input on how to make something look better — furniture arrangement, design or layout. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Travel for pleasure will please you today. Some of you might feel a romantic attraction to someone from another culture or a different country. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Keep your pockets open, because gifts, goodies and favors from others can come your way. Don’t be a worried about attached strings. Let others help you. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Relations with partners and close friends are warm today. Refrain from important commitments; just enjoy the good vibes. (Discuss business tomorrow.) VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) It will please you to make your workplace more attractive today. Others will take positive steps to improving their health — in particular, something that is enjoyable. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Accept invitations to parties, movies, luncheons and sports events because this is a pleasant social day. Romance is in the air. Some will also enjoy creative projects and playful times with children. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Do what you can to make where you live look more attractive. But the catch is, today is a poor day to spend money — so work with what you have. Start by getting rid of clutter. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) This is a great day for writers and anyone who is involved with communication for a living. You feel inspired by your muse, and your imagination is empowered. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Be careful about financial matters today, because this is a poor day to spend money. However, you might enjoy cleaning or maintaining something you own. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) This is a lighthearted, friendly day. Enjoy schmoozing with others, but avoid important decisions. Since you easily attract others to you now, enjoy this popularity! PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) You’ll love a chance to have some peace and quiet today. This is a busy time for you, especially with financial matters, and you need a rest. YOU BORN TODAY You’re hardworking. Although you can appear self-effacing and modest, you have star quality. Many of you are long-lived. You also like to appear well-pulled together, and you don’t like to be backed into a corner. In the year ahead, something you’ve been involved with for about nine years might end or diminish in order to make room for something new. Be open to this. Birthdate of: Anu Garg, word lover/speaker; Krista Allen, actress; Agnetha Fdltskog, singer. (c) 2013 King Features Syndicate, Inc.

You can reduce your cancer risk with your good lifestyle, including lots of fresh fruits and vegetables in your diet. Some evidence suggests that aspirin may reduce cancer risk as well. Talk to your oncologist or family doctor about taking aspirin. DEAR DR. ROACH: Several years ago, my son, who is in his early 30s, came down with red scrotum syndrome. It causes him a painful burning in the scrotum. It is so bad that it interferes with his work. He has been to numerous doctors, and no one seems to have any clue how to treat it. Is there

anything out there to treat this affliction? — B.R. ANSWER: Red scrotum syndrome is a rare skin condition that usually affects men over 50. It often follows topical corticosteroid use (like cortisone), and symptoms may include severe itching, pain and burning. Two treatments have been successful in most people: doxycycline (an antibiotic) and gabapentin (an antiepilepsy drug). However, don’t think that red scrotum syndrome either is an infection or has anything to do with epilepsy; it is an inflammation of skin and nerve endings. Doxycycline may be acting as an anti-inflammatory, and gabapentin certainly acts to reduce nerve irritation, which is why it works for many people with neuropathy.

all means ask because I’ll bet she is dying to tell you. Your husband may have been seeing her or someone she knows. He attacked you because he felt guilty about something and didn’t want to discuss it. It proves the truth of the adage, “The best defense is a strong offense.” Believe me, you have my sympathy, but you need to get to the bottom of this, so don’t put it off. DEAR ABBY: What do you call additions to your family that result from second or third marriages? Our daughter died several years ago. I refer to her widower as my son-in-law, but what term should I use when I introduce his new wife? She has two daughters from a previous marriage — sweet girls who call me “Grand-

dad.” Technically, they are not my granddaughters — but what are they? These are just two examples of modern relationships that seem to require a new vocabulary. I have tried searching the Internet for answers without luck. Any suggestions? — FAMILY MAN IN TEXAS DEAR FAMILY MAN: When introducing your late daughter’s husband and his wife, try this: “This is my son-in-law ‘Sam’ and his wife, ‘Virginia.’” If you’re asked for clarification, which I doubt will happen, give more details. As to the woman’s daughters who are not blood related to you, because they call you “Granddad,” refer to them as your granddaughters and leave it at that.

PAST

100 years April 4, 1913 A report coming from Piqua gives some idea of the depth attained by the water in the recent flood. In a house in the eastern part of Piqua the height of the water above the floor of all floods back to 1847 is recorded on the wall. Measurements are as follows: 1847 – 25 inches; 1866 – 27 1/2 inches; 1883 – 39 inches; 1898 – 41 1/2 inches; most recent flooding – 180 1/2 inches. At that point, the recent flood reached 11 feet and 7 inches higher than any previous record. ——— The musical comedy, entitled “Jolly Polly” was presented by the young people of St. Paul’s’ Church last evening in the Lyric theater. Members of the cast included: Arthur Bates, Mrs. P.F. Sarver, Miss Faye Voisard, W.B.

REPLAY 50 years ago April 4 1963 April showers failed to dampen the golfing ardor of Bil Gallagher’s new crew of Sidney Senior swingers in their initial outing over the Moose Country Club’s course. Despite their inexperience, the Jackets overcame the Chieftains by a wide 111/2-41/2 margin. Mike Willman paced the locals with a 39.

25 years ago April 4, 1988 Miami East scored in the sixth and seventh innings to bring down Versailles 9-8. For Versailles, Matt Barga had two hits and three RBIs, Dan Watren had two hits and drove in two, and Scott McEldowney had a double.

Votto’s hit wins in 9th — The CINCINNATI Cincinnati Reds evened the series with the Los Angeles Angels Wednesday, scoring in the bottom of the ninth on Joey Votto’s first hit of the season to win 5-4. The two teams meet again today at 12:35. The Reds broke a scoreless deadlock with four runs in the bottom of the fourth inning. After Chris Heisey and Votto opened the inning with walks, Brandon Phillips crushed a ball over the wall in left-center for a 3-0 lead. Jay Bruce followed with a triple and trotted home on a base hit by Todd Frazier. But Reds’ starter Matt Latos gave up a leadoff home run in the top of the fifth to Howard Kendrick to put the

Angels on the board. It stayed that way until the seventh when Latos again gave up the long ball. Alberto Callaspo smacked a two-run homer to cut the Reds’ lead down to 4-3.

WHEN THE Fort Loramie Lady Redskins captured their first state basketball championship back on March 16, it was the “trifecta” for the Holdheide family of Fort Loramie. In the center is Fort Loramie senior Amanda Holdheide with this year’s state championship trophy. On her left is her mother Connie, who played on the 1990 Coldwater state championship team, and on the right is her father Mark, who played on Fort Loramie’s 1987 boys state championship team.

Title made it a trifecta for the Holdheide family KEN BARHORST kbarhorst@civitasmedia.com FORT LORAMIE — Sure, things run in the family. But state championships? Seriously? As amazing as it seems, that’s the case for the Mark Holdheide family of Fort Loramie. Back on March 16, the Fort Loramie girls basketball team won its first-ever state title in Division IV play at the Schottenstein Center in Columbus. A senior member of that team was Amanda Holdheide, and when the Lady Redskins finished off Berlin Hiland in the championship game, it gave the Holdheides the “trifecta.” Amanda’s mom, the former Connie Timmerman, played on the 1990 Coldwater girls

basketball team that won the Division III state championship. And Amanda’s dad was a member of the 1987 Fort Loramie team that won the Division IV boys state basketball championship. The three came to the Fort Loramie gym recently with state championship trophies in tow to get their picture taken. Connie Holdheide said current Coldwater girls coach Nick Fisher was more than happy to lend her the 1990 state championship trophy for the photo session. “They were wonderful about it,” she said of Coldwater. She said she and her husband talked about the possibility of three state champions in one family, but not around

their daughter. “It was just between us,” she said. “How neat it would be, how it would be a dream come true. But we didn’t talk to Amanda about it. We didn’t want to add any more pressure. And we wanted it for our daughter as much as anything else. “It was awesome when they won it,” she added. “It was more fun to watch her. We knew what it was like and we wanted that for our child. But it was very nerve-wracking. I think any parent knows how it is when you have a child that plays. But we would have been proud of her no matter what.” Could they make it four? Amanda’s sister Aliya played on the 8th grade team this season, a team that tied for the County title.

Ludwick out three months CINCINNATI (AP) — Reds outfielder Ryan Ludwick is expected to miss at least three months following surgery on Wednesday to repair torn cartilage in his right shoulder. Ludwick dislocated his non-throwing shoulder while sliding into third base in Cincinnati’s opening 31, 13-inning loss to the Los Angeles Angels on Monday. An MRI a day later found the cartilage tear. The Reds initially were reluctant to put a timeframe on his return, waiting to see what doctors found during the surgery. Manager Dusty Baker was told that Ludwick could be out for 13 to 14 weeks. “Hopefully sometime after the All-Star break we’ll get a fresh and new player back,” Baker said.

The Reds put Ludwick on the 15-day disabled list and called up Derrick outfielder Robinson to make his major league debut. Chris Heisey, who has been a reserve outfielder the last few years, will get a chance to play in left field fulltime. “I haven’t done it for four years now, I guess,” Heisey said. “I’ve done it for stretches of two or three weeks, but for a long stretch of time I haven’t. It’ll be an adjustment, but I’m looking forward to it.” Baker moved second baseman Brandon Phillips into Ludwick’s cleanup spot Wednesday for the second game of the series against the Angels, batting between left-handers Votto and Jay Bruce. Heisey was in the second spot.

walks and got some timely hitting to pull out the win, “It was a great game,” said Lehman coach Dave King. “Good pitching on both sides, plays at the plate, plays against the fence in the outfield... Our defense did a good job again.” Nate Bosway had a

double for the Cavaliers, and John Copella delivered a big hit, a two-out, two-run single in the bottom of the seventh for some insurance. For the Vikings, Fellers, Donaldson and Miller all had two hits and Bowling had a double. Two Viking pitchers struck out 10 Lehman

hitters. Cole Proffitt got the win for Lehman and Copella came on in the fifth and earned a save. They combined for three strikeouts and two walks.

SPORTS IN BRIEF The Rock is ready to roll Minnesota hires young Pitino as WrestleMania nears

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Richard Pitino has built a resume as one of the nation’s up-and-coming young coaches at Florida International and bears a last name that draws immediate respect in all corners of college basketball. That combination was too good for Minnesota to pass up. Two people with knowledge of the discussions told The Associated Press that Pitino was in negotiations with Minnesota officials on Wednesday, and Pitino one said a verbal agreement from him to take over the Gophers was reached in the afternoon. The people spoke on condition of anonymity because the deal has not been announced. In his lone season at Florida International, the son of Louisville coach Rick Pitino led the Panthers to an 18-14 record, the school’s first winning season in 13 years. He will turn 31 in September, fitting the profile of a rising star that Minnesota athletic director Norwood Teague has preferred to hire in the past.

Market cornered Johnson has the sequel market cornered, flexing his box office muscle in franchise films as “Fast Five,” ‘’The Mummy Returns,” ‘’Journey 2: The Mysterious Island” and now “G.I. Joe: Retaliation.” He’s ready to prove another one of his sequels can top the original when he faces Cena on Sunday. In his first singles match since 2004, Johnson defeated Cena last year at Sun Life Stadium in Miami in a WrestleMania main event billed as “Once in a Lifetime.” Well, that tagline may as well be “Once a Year.” Hard to believe a professional wrestling company would stretch truth in advertising, but the two became set for a return bout once Rock beat C.M. Punk at January’s Royal Rumble to win the championship and Cena won the 30-man Rumble to become the No. 1 contender. Johnson said the rematch made sense because it was still the biggest money match the promotion could offer in the Super Bowl of sports entertainment. He had the numbers to back it up. With one

The Rock is ready to roll into WrestleMania as a dual champion. He’s the reigning king of the box office after “G.I. Joe: Retaliation” stormed to $40.5 million over the weekend to become the No. 1 movie. And in the ring, he’s walking tall as WWE champ. Everything Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson touches these days turns to gold, from the film franchises he whips into blockbusters, to the diamond-encrusted WWE championship belt he drapes over his shoulder before he hits the ring to lay the smack down one more time in his triumphant return to the company. Johnson is set for his latest starring role when he defends his title against John Cena at WrestleMania 29 on Sunday at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J. The main event rematch is the pinnacle for the sports entertainment powerhouse and one of the most popular spectator sports in America. “It’s the biggest show of my career,” the 40year-old Johnson said.

Friends reunite as roommates — VERSAILLES Martha Rismiller, 93, and Leona Dickey, 90, both of Rossburg, reunited as roommates at Versailles Health Care Center this past January. Sixty years ago, the two shared a room at Hospital in Wayne Greenville. Rismiller was at the hospital for the birth of her third child, Linda (Rismiller) Clemons, and Dickey, for the birth of her fourth child, Steven Dickey. Over the next 60 years, both women stayed busy as homemakers. Rismiller and her late husband, Lester, reared four children, Jim, of Rossburg, Karen Crump, of Piqua, Linda Clemons, of Portland, and Marilyn Ind., Kramer, of Centerville. She has 10 grandchildren and eight greatgrandchildren with two more great-grandchildren on the way. Dickey and her late husband, Harold, raised five children together, Vera stepdaughter Moore, of Greenville, and four sons, Douglas (deceased), Norman, of London, Steven (deceased),
