spending cuts bore down on individual Americans and the nation’s still-recovering economy. “None of this is necessary,” said the president after a sterile White House meeting that portended a long standoff. Even before Obama formally ordered the cuts re-

BY TOM MILLHOUSE tmillhouse@sdnccg.com Shelby County joined counties around the state in seeing a major increase in concealed carry permits during 2012 and the trend has accelerated even more this year. The Shelby County Sheriff ’s Office issued 355 concealed permits in 2012, up from 327 in 2011 and 258 in 2010. According to figures released Wednesday by Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine, more than 78,000 concealed carry permits were issued last year in Ohio, the most since the licenses were first issued in 2004. The number of area residents seeking concealed carry permits has soared still higher this year. Shelby County Sheriff’s figures indicate 69 permits were issued in January and 115 had been issued in February as of early Thursday afternoon. Shelby County Sheriff John Lenhart said not only have concealed carry permits increased recently, so have gun and ammunition sales. “I think the reason why they have increased is some people think the president is going to take their guns away,” Lenhart said. He noted that when Walmart gets in a shipment of guns, they are quickly sold out. “We have had difficulties See CARRY/Page 2A

Chamber sees busy year in 2012

TODAY’S THOUGHT

Now fifth largest in Dayton region

“Just as we are often moved to merriment for no other reason than that the occasion calls for seriousness, so we are correspondingly serious when invited too freely to be amused.” — Agnes Repplier, American essayist (1858-1950).

A review of highlights of 2012 was presented by Sidney-Shelby County Chamber of Commerce President Jeff Raible at the group’s annual dinner meeting Thursday at the Palazzo in Botkins. Raible noted that 2012 was a good year for the Chamber, with 50 new members welcomed, bringing total membership to 521. Additionally, he said the Chamber enjoyed a 90 percent membership retention rate that compares favorably to the national average. The Dayton Business Journal in 2012 ranked the Sidney-Shelby County Chamber as the fifth largest in the Dayton region. Raible said that Chamber Gift Certificate sales were up seven percent last year for a total of $131,800. He noted that local support of this Shop Local/Buy Local program keeps Shelby County dollars in the cash registers of the local business community. He reviewed new member benefits, including a vision

care discount program and a partnership with DPL Energy that provides small to medium commercial consumers with discounts. He also noted the Chamber sponsored six employee development workshops and seminars during the year, attended by nearly 500. Raible also reported that member participation in the Chamber-sponsored Safety Council, Human Resources Council, Lean Enterprise Council, and Women In Networking groups remained strong in 2012. He also gave an update on the Chamber Foundation, which funded 24 education grant applications totaling more than $18,500 during 2012. Over the past six years, the Foundation has awarded grants to county schools and other youth education organizations totaling nearly $102,000. Looking to the current, Raible said the Chamber will be collaborating with the Upper Valley Career Center’s

cussed whether to hire a new police chief. He said the issue will be discussed at the March 13 council meeting. “The sheriff ’s office will be patrolling the village in the interim,” Daugherty said. Village residents with non-emergency issue should call the Shelby County Sheriff ’s Office at 498-1111, Daugherty said, adding that for emergencies, residents should call 911.

AWARDS Recipients are selected solely on the basis of nominations, she said. Ten awards were presented as follows: • Buffalo Wild Wings – for a total renovation. They updated the interior, opened up the bar area, added a section for kids games and a private party room that holds up to 40, extended their patio and added several more TV’s and big screens. They also painted the exterior of the building and added new signage. • City of Sidney - for gateway improvements to the quadrants at the Interstate 75 and State Route 47 interchange. Donations from Area Energy and Electric, Bensar Developments, and Ferguson Construction pro-

CARRY From Page 1 getting ammunition for training,” Lenhart said. “Lots of people are making lots of money,” contending that like other trends, the sales will fall when all of the people who want guns have purchased them. The sheriff discounted the possibility of gun sales being banned or guns being confiscated. Lenhart said he doesn’t think gun sales will be banned altogether or that guns will ever be taken away from “lawabiding citizens.” Lenhart said personally and as a law enforcement officer, he doesn’t have a problem with more people buying guns and obtaining concealed carry permits. Unlike some area counties, Lenhart said his office has tried to accommodate the growing number of people who want concealed carry permits. The Shelby County Sheriff’s Office is open from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday and until noon on Saturday. “We have a more customer-friendly approach,” Lenhart said, noting the office makes about $20 for each permit processed. By being open on Saturday, Lenhart said, some people are able to obtain the permits without having to take off work. Lenhart explained that one of the ways the concealed carry permit funds are being used to finance the current concealed carry and emergency training for select school personnel that kicked off this week. The number of concealed carry permits issued in area counties during 2012 were: Auglaize, 306; Champaign, 281; Darke, 939; Logan, 346; Mercer, 349; Miami, 632; and Shelby, 355.

From Page 1 vided funding for the conceptual design of all four quadrants. Jacyn Design Group was contracted to complete the design, a grading plan and provide plant material selection and the needed. quantities ODOT offers a highway beautification grant which provides monies to purchase plant material for projects such as this and this particular project was approved providing $25,000 for shrubs, trees and mulch. In the southern two quadrants, there were over 7,000 individual plants and 340 cubic yards of mulch placed. Similar improvements to the northern two quadrants are planned for the fall of 2013. Other companies that contributed to this project were NK Parts and K & R Landscaping. Minimal local tax dollars were used to complete this project. • Electro Controls – which expanded in 2012, nearly doubling its production area and adding additional office space. The facility was completely redesigned for a more efficient workflow. New signage was also added throughout the interior of the building. • Lochard Inc. – which made major updates to

DEAN’S

its Do-It-Best center on Wapakoneta Avenue. A full-service paint store computerized with matching and larger varieties of paint was expanded and lighting and signage were updated and improved. The floors were also re-surfaced with a lighter color scheme. • McDonalds Restaurant – which completely remodeled its Sidney facility by installing new flooring, contemporary seating and décor with group and family seating, a new front counter, selfserve beverage bar, updated restrooms and a larger lobby providing additional seating capacity. On the outside they added new signage, transformed the façade to the new McDonalds arcade building design, resurfaced the entire parking lot with easier access handicap parking, added new curbs, sidewalks and an outdoor seating patio and furniture. • Rogy’s Learning Center – which moved to a new location on Industrial Drive, gutting the building and constructing 11 classrooms. They also added a full-service kitchen, a teacher’s lounge, office space and three outdoor play areas. Since their opening, their

enrollment has almost tripled, taking them to 154 children. • Sidney Tire – which had to deal with a car that crashed through the front of their building on Wapakoneta Avenue, requiring them to move up a planned remodeling project. They replaced windows, added new insulation, drywall and a fresh coat of paint. They remodeled the front outside with new signs, siding and a new awning. • Valentine Vision – which remodeled its new location at 739 Spruce Ave., including a total interior improvement with new floors, painting of the ceiling and walls and new lighting. This move gave them more space for new equipment and better patient flow. • Wilson Memorial Hospital – which renovated the emergency department waiting room and triage area to provide easy access and a comfortable atmosphere for both the patient and family. Enhanced security and privacy were also improved. Wilson also received a second award for relocating and renovating its outpatient laboratory. The new lab was placed adjacent to the registration area as a convenience for patients.

The coldest day of the month was Feb. 1 when the temperature dropped to 5 and the high was only 17. That was the only day of the month with a low in single digits. Precipitation for the month totaled 1.48 inches.

Reports show top salaries paid at Ohio jobs agency BY ANN SANNER Associated Press COLUMBUS (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; An Ohio nonprofit promoted by the governor to create jobs raised almost $7 million in donations during its first year in business and half of its 26 employees each received at least a $100,000 salary, records obtained Friday by The Associated Press and other media show. JobsOhio was created to handle the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economic development duties, which a state government department previously handled. It was required to submit an audit to the state Development Services Agency

by the end of last year. The independent audit of JobsOhioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s operations from July 5, 2011, to June 30, 2012, reported spending of about $9 million, with most of it going toward program expenses, professional fees, and payroll and benefits. John Minor, the private nonprofitâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s president and chief investment officer, received a $225,000 salary in 2012, far more than Gov. John Kasichâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s salary of almost $149,000. Two other staff members also employed at were $225,000 a year. The salaries were comparable to other startup economic devel-

opment agencies, JobsOhio spokeswoman Laura Jones said. And compensation for some top positions was lower than that paid at other agencies, she said. The nonprofit isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t required to disclose who gave it money or provided in-kind services. But Jones said that companies in the financial services and insurance sectors were among the contributors. JobsOhio also released an annual report Friday said job creation and retention in targeted industries fell from about 83,000 jobs paying $4.7 billion in 2011 to about 76,000 jobs paying $3.4 billion

last year. The 2012 projects represent commitments to be completed in the next three years. The report also detailed JobsOhio strategy for boosting and keeping jobs in the state. The nonprofit said it is focusing on finding ways to help existing companies expand in Ohio and on attracting business from around the world. The agency also wants to increase its marketing of the state through websites and traditional advertisements. The agency said that in a typical year, 80 percent of newly created jobs come from companies already doing business in Ohio.

Ohio company part of solution STOW (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The name EnviroScience on the small building along Darrow Road does little to indicate whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going on inside. Nothing to suggest the company is home to 55 biologists, some of whom were responsible for helping to clean up the infamous BP oil spill. Nothing to give away the fact that every major railroad in the country calls on them to assist after train derailments, even to the point that scientists dive beneath submerged cars to rig them for removal and minimize environmental damage. Nothing to explain how the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has tapped them to take over the National Aquatic Resource Survey in which they will write the rules and train every state on how to take samples and examine trends in every river, lake, stream and wetland in the country. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Having a company like this in Stow is unbelievable. Cities salivate over companies like

this,â&#x20AC;? said Mayor Sara Drew, whose city is selling a recently vacated parks and recreation building to give the company room to grow. EnviroScienceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s headquarters, across the street from City Hall, and a second Darrow Road location where it stores boats and other equipment, will be condensed into a 20,000square-foot city building near Silver Springs Park. Park employees were moved from the building last summer as part of a citywide consolidation effort. The 30-year, $2.45 million lease/sale agreement enabled the privately held EnviroScience to stay in town when it was looking to expand. Drew said the financial benefits to the city go beyond the purchase price. The schools will benefit from $40,000 a year in property taxes when the city-owned property goes into private hands, and the city will save $285,000 in interest when it pays off what it still owes on the building.

The companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s partners, President Martin Hilovsky and Vice President Jamie Krejsa, are homegrown entrepreneurs, both born and raised in the Cleveland area. Both now live in Summit County. Hilovsky founded the company in 1989, a couple of years after Ohio started mandating biological testing of water discharges. Prior to that, the Ohio EPA required cities and businesses to test only for chemicals, like PH, iron and zinc. But in 1987, a group of Ohio scientists successfully argued to legislators that chemicals donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tell the whole story of whether discharges into public waterways were affecting marine life. Today, about 10 percent of EnviroScienceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s business is still based on its original purpose, serving some 200 business and municipal clients in Ohio and surrounding states. In the basement of its Darrow Road home, lab technicians place bugs called ceriodaphnia

Letter details defense budget cuts COLUMBUS (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A Pentagon letter warns automatic defense budget cuts will include at least $5 million to Army and Air Force operations in Ohio. In the Friday letter obtained by The Associated Press, a Defense Department official told Gov. John Kasich the Air Force will

lose $3 million for Ohio operations, including facilities projects at Wright Patterson Air Force Base near Dayton. The Army would lose $2 million and see cuts at Camp Perry along Lake Erie. The Republican governorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spokesman confirmed he received the letter but had no further comment.

dubia (c. dubia) and fathead minnows into discharge samples to see if they can live, grow and reproduce. If the cycle of life is cut short, they know thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a problem. Hilovsky said Krejsa was an early employee who taught him a lesson about diversifying. Some 20 years ago, Krejsa was a new employee in the lab when he took a phone call from a West Virginia steel company that needed a field survey done of eight miles of Ohio River as part of an EPA lawsuit. The boss wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t around to ask, so Krejsa said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yeah, we can do that.â&#x20AC;? That phone call turned into a $2 million contract and a new repfor Enviroutation Science, which exported Ohioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fledgling biocentric standards to become models for other states. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It taught me a lot about taking chances and encouraging my employees to use their interests to do new things,â&#x20AC;? Hilovsky said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If someone has an interest in endangered bats, then they can work on that,â&#x20AC;? including finding clients to support it.

The reductions are part of $85 billion in government-wide spending cuts that were taking effect Friday at midnight. The Defense Department also has warned of possible furloughs for 26,000 civilian defense employees in Ohio, amounting to about $166 million.

‘Rambler’ back behind bars

TODAY IN HISTORY BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Today is Saturday, March 2, the 61st day of 2013. There are 304 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On March 2, 1943, the three-day Battle of the Bismarck Sea began in the southwest Pacific during World War II; U.S. and Australian warplanes were able to inflict heavy damage on an Imperial Japanese convoy. On this date: • In 1793, the first president of the Republic of Texas, Sam Houston, was born near Lexington, Va. • In 1836, the Republic of Texas formally declared its independence from Mexico. • In 1861, the state of Texas, having seceded from the Union, was admitted to the Confederacy. • In 1877, Republican Rutherford B. Hayes was declared the winner of the 1876 presidential election over Democrat Samuel J. Tilden, even though Tilden had won the popular vote. • In 1917, Puerto Ricans were granted U.S. citizenship as President Woodrow Wilson signed the Jones-Shafroth Act. • In 1933, the motion picture “King Kong” had its world premiere at New York’s Radio City Music Hall and the Roxy. • In 1939, Roman Catholic Cardinal Eugenio Pacelli was elected pope on his 63rd birthday; he took the name Pius XII. • In 1942, the original Stage Door Canteen, a wartime club for U.S. servicemen, officially opened its doors in New York’s Broadway theater district. • In 1951, the East beat the West, 111-94, in the first NBA All-Star Game, which took place at Boston Garden. • In 1962, Wilt Chamberlain scored 100 points for the Philadelphia Warriors in a game against the New York Knicks, an NBA record that still stands. (Philadelphia won, 169-147.) • In 1972, the United States launched the Pioneer 10 space probe, which flew past Jupiter in late 1973, sending back images and scientific data. • In 1989, representatives from the 12 European Community nations agreed to ban all production of CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons) by the end of the 20th century. • Ten years ago: Iraq crushed another six Al Samoud II missiles, as ordered by U.N. weapons inspectors. Landlocked Switzerland became the first European country to win the America’s Cup as Alinghi swept Team New Zealand in five races.

OUT OF THE BLUE

Shakes on a plane COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (AP) — The latest craze to sweep the Internet is bringing college students the wrong kind of attention — from the Federal Aviation Administration. During a flight from Colorado Springs to San Diego, a group of students started the Harlem Shake, a dance to a song of the same name. In the viral YouTube videos, one person starts dancing, then the video cuts to a large group of people dancing, many in costume. Matt Zelin, a sophomore, told the Colorado College newspaper, The Catalyst, he asked a flight attendant for permission beforehand. FAA spokesman Allen Kenitzer said Thursday they’re looking at what phase the flight was in during the dance in the aisles. Frontier Airlines says the seatbelt sign was off and safety measures were followed.

PEOPLE PHOTOGRAPH the Falcon 9 SpaceX rocket as it lifts off from launch complex 40 at the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Cape Canaveral, Fla. on Friday. The rocket is transporting the Dragon capsule to the International Space Station containing more than a ton of food, tools, computer hardware and science experiments.

Supplies head for ISS CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — A commercial craft carrying a ton of supplies for the International Space Station ran into thruster trouble shortly after liftoff Friday. Flight controllers managed to gain control, but were forced to delay its arrival at the orbiting lab. The earliest the Dragon capsule could show up is Sunday, a full day late, said top officials for NASA and the private company SpaceX. “We’re definitely not going to rush it,” said SpaceX’s billionaire founder Elon Musk. “We want to make sure first and foremost that things are safe before proceeding.” The Dragon, owned and operated by SpaceX, holds considerable science experiments for the space station as well as food and spare parts. Musk said six hours into the flight that all four sets of thrusters finally were working. “All systems green,” he re-

ported via Twitter. The problem may have been caused by a stuck valve or a line blockage. The thrusters are small rockets used for maneuvering the capsule. An hour later, the Dragon was raised with the thrusters to a safe altitude. “Dragon back on track,” he said in a tweet. It was the first serious trouble to strike a Dragon in orbit. None of the four previous unmanned flights had any thruster issues, Musk told reporters by phone from comheadquarters in pany Hawthorne, Calif. He said it appeared to be a glitch versus a major concern. SpaceX has a $1.6 billion contract with NASA to make a dozen deliveries to restock the space station. This is the third trip by a Dragon capsule to the station; the first Dragon flight, in 2010, was a solo test. NASA space station program manager Mike Suffre-

dini said at least three groups of thrusters on the Dragon need to work before the capsule can come close to the complex. That’s a safety rule that will not be waived, Suffredini said. Engineers for both SpaceX and NASA plan an exhaustive study before allowing the rendezvous to take place. The Dragon could hang around at least a month before linking up with the station, Musk said. It’s supposed to spend more than three weeks there, in large part to accommodate science samples that will be on the return trip. SpaceX is in charge of the flight until it gets near the space station. Then NASA calls the shots. “If we can convince ourselves the data’s good, I suspect we can find an opportunity on Sunday, but again, we have to go look at it,” Suffredini said.

Al-Qaida chief killed in Mali N’DJAMENA, Chad (AP) — Chadian President Idriss Deby announced Friday that Chadian troops fighting to dislodge an al-Qaida affiliate in northern Mali killed one of the group’s leading commanders, Abou Zeid. The death of the Algerian warlord, a feared radical leader of al-Qaida in the Islamic Maghreb behind the kidnapping of several Westerners, could not immediately be verified. His death would be a big blow to his group and its growing influence in North and West Africa. Officials in Mali and in France, which is leading an international military intervention in Mali against Islamic extremists linked to AQIM, could not confirm the death. The White House had no immediate reaction to the announcement. The U.S. has offered drones and intelligence help to the French-led operation. The Chadian president’s spokesman said that Deby announced the death of Abou Zeid during a ceremony Fri-

day for Chadian soldiers killed in fighting in Mali. Deby said, “It was our soldiers who killed two big Islamist chiefs in northern Mali,” including Abou Zeid, according to the spokesman. The spokesman insisted on anonymity because he was not authorized to speak ahead of an announcement on state television on the matter. It was unclear when it was expected, and the spokesman gave no further details. Chadian television showed images of Friday’s tribute to the fallen soldiers from Chad, a row of coffins draped with the blue, yellow and red flags, and dignitaries from Chad and neighboring countries. Abdelhamid Abou Zeid, who led one of the most violent brigades of al-Qaida’s North African franchise and helped lead the extremist takeover of northern Mali, was thought to be 47 years old. He was a pillar of the southern realm of al-Qaida in the Islamic Maghreb, or AQIM, responsible for the death of at least two European

hostages. He was believed to be holding four French nationals kidnapped two years ago at a uranium mine in Niger. The fate of those hostages, working for French company Areva, was unclear Friday night. Abou Zeid held a Frenchman released in February 2010, and another who was executed that July. He’s also been linked to the execution of a British hostage in 2009. The French military moved into Mali on Jan. 11 to push back militants linked to Abou Zeid and other extremist groups who had imposed harsh Islamic rule in the vast country and who were seen as an international terrorist threat. The extremists took control over northern Mali in a power vacuum after a coup last year, and had started moving toward the capital. France is trying to rally other African troops to help in the military campaign, since Mali’s military is weak and poor. Chadian troops have offered the most robust reinforcement.

GRIDLOCK families with children.” The president met with top lawmakers for less than an hour at the White House, then sought repeatedly to fix the blame on Republicans for the broad spending reductions and any damage that they inflict. “They’ve allowed these cuts to happen because they refuse to budge on closing a single wasteful loophole to help reduce the deficit,” he said, renewing his demand for a comprehensive deficit-cutting deal that includes higher taxes. Republicans said they wanted deficit cuts, too, but not tax increases. “The president got his tax hikes on Jan. 1,” House Speaker John Boehner told reporters, a reference to a $600 billion increase on higher wage earners that cleared Congress on the first day of the year. Now, he said after the meeting, it is time take on “the spending problem here in Washington.” Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky

was equally emphatic. ” I will not be part of any back-room deal, and I will absolutely not agree to increase taxes,” he vowed in a written statement. At the same time they clashed, Obama and Republicans appeared determined to contain their disagreement. Boehner said the House will pass legislation next week to extend routine funding for government agencies beyond the current March 27 expiration. “I’m hopeful that we won’t have to deal with the threat of a government shutdown while we’re dealing with the sequester at the same time,” he said, referring to the new cuts by their Washingtonspeak name. Obama said he, too, wanted to keep the two issues separate. White House officials declined to say precisely when the president would formally order the cuts. Under the law, he had until midnight. Barring a quick deal in the next week or so to call them off, the

LONDON (AP) — A British man who has spent most of the past decade naked — and in jail — was back behind bars Friday after defying an order to cover up. Stephen Gough, known as the “Naked Rambler,” was arrested Thursday as he left a court in Southampton, southern England, wearing only boots, socks and a knapsack. A judge had just imposed an order that he must “wear sufficient clothing in public to at least cover his genitalia and buttocks.” The 54-year-old former Royal Marine appeared at the same court Friday, and was ordered detained until a hearing on March 25. Since 2003 Gough has completed two naked walks the length of Britain, with frequent interruptions for arrests, court appearances and jail time. Prosecution lawyer Roger Trencher said Friday that Gough “has caused much offense nationwide and he has used a considerable amount of police time in England, Wales and Scotland.” Gough has said he believes nudity is a human right. Defense lawyer Jeffrey NorieMille told the court that Gough “believes it is his right not to wear clothes and go about his normal activities in that state of undress.” There is no law in Britain against public nudity. However, there are laws against indecent exposure or behavior likely to cause “harassment, alarm or distress.”

Police detail 9 mins. LAS VEGAS (AP) — It took just nine fateful minutes for a valet stand dispute to escalate to a deadly Las Vegas Strip shooting, crash and fireball. Nearly every second was captured by video, audio and witness accounts and detailed in a Las Vegas police report made public after a weeklong manhunt led to the arrest of Ammar Harris in Los Angeles on Thursday. Investigators say Harris, a 26-year-old felon and self-described pimp, exchanged angry words with aspiring rapper Kenneth Wayne Cherry Jr. in a casino valet area. The shouting continued as the two men drove in separate cars along Las Vegas Boulevard, with tires squealing and a horn blaring. Police say it wasn’t long before Harris began shooting, Cherry was mortally wounded, and his Maserati careened into a taxi that exploded in a fireball. In the end, Cherry and two other people were dead, and five others were injured in a spectacular, multi-vehicle crash at one of the most famous neon-lit crossroads in Las Vegas.

From Page 1 impact eventually is likely to be felt in all reaches of the country. The Pentagon will absorb half of the $85 billion required to be sliced between now and the end of the budget year on Sept 30, exposing civilian workers to furloughs and defense contractors to possible cancellations. Said Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel, only a few days on the job: “We will continue to ensure America’s security” despite the challenge posed by an “unnecessary budget crisis.” The administration also has warned of long lines at airports as security personnel are furloughed, of teacher layoffs in some classrooms and adverse impacts on maintenance at the nation’s parks. The announcement by the housing agency in Seattle was an early indication of what is likely to hit as the cuts take effect. It said it was taking the action “to cope with the impending reduction in federal funding,” adding that it nor-

mally issues 45 to 50 vouchers per month. After days of dire warnings by administration officials, the president told reporters the effects of the cuts would be felt only gradually. “The longer these cuts remain in place, the greater the damage to our economy — a slow grind that will intensify with each passing day,” he said. Much of the budget savings will come through unpaid furloughs for government workers, and those won’t begin taking effect until next month. Obama declined to say if he bore any of the responsibility for the coming cuts, and expressed bemusement at any suggestion he had the ability to force Republicans to agree with him. “I am not a dictator. I’m the president,” he said. “So, ultimately, if Mitch McConnell or John Boehner say we need to go to catch a plane, I can’t have Secret Service block the doorway, right?”

Stop lying! It’s time to grow up! DR. WALLACE: I am a regular reader of your column, and most of the time I disagree with you. I know I probably won’t like your answer, but I’m writing anyway. I’m 22 and met this girl at a party at my cousin’s house. Lynn and I hit it off big time, and when I asked her out, she said yes. She is 16, so I told her I was 17 because I really look much younger. Last night I met her dad for the first time, and the first thing he asked ’Tween me was how old I was. I told him 17. I want to keep dating Lynn, but 12 & 20 I’m worried that her parents might Dr. Robert find out my true age and tell her to Wallace stop seeing me. Do you think I should tell Lynn the truth, and then ask her to help keep our secret? That way, I would be 100 percent honest with her, and her parents would probably not stop us from going out together. —Ted, Houston, Tex. TED: I’m afraid you are going to disagree with my comments once again. I’m sure you expected to, but I’m surprised that you asked for advice. I’ll consider your letter a hopeful sign that you want to change for the better. So listen up! You are an adult and should not be dating a younger teen under any circumstances. The fact that you felt you had to lie to everyone in order to date this girl makes it quite obvious that you already know this. It won’t make things any better if you tell her the truth and then ask her to say nothing to her parents. If you really cared for this girl, you would not consider doing this. Stop seeing this girl and find someone closer to your own age. Apparently you not only look young, but you are also immature. It’s time to grow up! DR. WALLACE: I’m 20 and never dated in high school. I’m a nice person, but I’m not considered attractive. I’m now dating a guy who works in my office. He is nice, but I’m not in love with him. Last week he asked me to marry him even though we have only been dating for seven months. What should I do? I don’t want to end up husbandless! —Nameless, Cleveland, Ohio NAMELESS: Don’t commit to marriage until you love your future husband unconditionally. Even more importantly, don’t ever consider yourself unattractive. As you discover your inner beauty and bring it out in the presence of others, more and more people will notice. Believe me, you won’t wind up “husbandless.”

Imagine re-growing a severed fingertip with the help of a pig. It sounds like science fiction, but it's not. In fact, it’s happening at Wilson Memorial Hospital. Jason Davis recently severed one of his fingertips in an accident. The 18-year-old Anna resident is now watching his fingertip grow back with the help of Dr. Brent Bamberger, hand surgeon with Orthopedic Associates of SW Ohio, and the wonders of regenerative medicine. “Historically, we would have surgically repaired Jason’s fingertip,” said Bamberger recently. “A more complex procedure would have been required that would have left his finger deformed. With the advancement in medicine and the ACell MatriStem treatment process, we utilize a more natural approach that exhibits excellent results.” ACell’s MatriStem regenerative medicine technology is a naturally occurring bioscaffold derived from porcine tissue (or swine tissue). When MatriStem is placed onto a wound, it is absorbed and replaced with new native tissue where scar tissue would normally be expected. The treatment involved cleaning out Davis’s finger and removing scar tissue — a process called debridement — and then dipping the finger into MatriStem powder. After six weeks of treatment,

his fingertip should grow back. Davis should regain full functionality of his finger once it is completely healed.

Company marks 10 years PIQUA — Preferred Payroll Services is completing its 10th year of providing area businesses with complete payroll processing solutions. In 2002, the parent company of Preferred Payroll Services, Murray Wells Wendeln & Robinson CPAs, recognized the need for a locally-based payroll service company, which could provide small and medium sized employers the opportunity to free up valuable time by managing all of their company’s payroll requirements. After conducting a thorough marketing study, Preferred Payroll Services became a reality in March 2003 and began processing/administering payroll for several area businesses. Now 10 years later, Preferred Payroll Services continues to see growth serving area businesses not only in Miami County, but in Auglaize, Shelby and Clark counties as well. The Preferred Payroll Services professional team, equipped with the latest technology, provides all the functionality of the national

payroll companies but with the advantage of local hands-on service and competitive fees. Offering weekly, biweekly, semi-monthly or monthly payroll processing options allows for the flexibility small and medium sized employers need. The company’s team works with the client to provide customized reporting as well. Preferred Payroll Services’ secure portal allows the company’s employees to access their personal earnings statements and their W2 forms.

Hercules recalls light truck tires DETROIT (AP) — Hercules Tire is recalling some light-duty truck tires in the U.S. because the belts and treads can separate from the tires. The recall covers 10ply Load Range E tires in the company’s All Trac line. All the recalled tires are 16 or 17 inches in diameter. They are used mainly on commercial trucks. Hercules is still trying to determine exactly how many tires are involved in the recall, spokeswoman Suzanne Mitchell said Monday. The tires were made in China and sold by

Hercules, which is based in the Findlay. Hercules says in documents sent to government safety regulators that the separations could reduce a driver’s ability to control a vehicle. At least one crash was reported. Mitchell would not comment when asked if the problem has caused any other crashes or any injuries. “We’re looking to make this as successful of a recall as we can for our customers,” she said. Hercules will replace the tires for free. Owners can call the company at (888) 965-5795.

cused squarely on value. But the new menu has a tiered pricing strategy ranging from 99 cents to about $2 intended to sell items at more profitable price. Items on the previous menu all cost 99 cents, which was an issue for some franchisees because the profit margins were too thin. The company’s push to reinvent itself comes as people are increasingly eating at fast-casual chains such as Panera Bread Co. (NASDAQ:PNRA) , which offers food that’s perceived to be higher quality for slightly higher prices. A better image could give Wendy’s more wiggle room to raise prices without scaring off customers. For the period ended Dec. 30, Wendy’s Co. said its net income rose sharply because of a larger tax benefit and lower interest expense. It earned $26.4 million, or 7 cents per share, compared with $4 million, or 1 cent per share, a year ago. The company revised its preliminary adjusted results showing earnings in January to reduce the estimate for charges related to discontinuing breakfast at certain locations and to

reduce depreciation and amortization. It now says adjusted earnings were 9 cents per share in the period. Analysts surveyed by FactSet expected 8 cents per share. Revenue rose 2 percent to $629.9 million. Analysts expected revenue of $630 million. Its shares rose 12 cents, or 2.2 percent, to $5.62 in trading 90 minutes before the market opening. As previously reported, the company said sales at established restaurants slipped 0.2 percent, after a strong performance in the yearago period that got a boost from the introduction of Dave’s Hot ‘n Juicy burgers. The measure is a key indicator of a financial health because it strips out the impact of newly opened and closed locations. Looking ahead to 2013, the company affirmed its outlook for growth of 2 percent to 3 percent at restaurants open at least 15 months and remodeled restaurants open at least three months. It reaffirmed its forecast for adjusted earnings between 18 cents and 20 cents per share. Wall Street predicts 18 cents per share.

last big hurdle

BY AMANDA LEE MYERS Associated Press CINCINNATI (AP) — Slot machines were clanging and bets were flying for the first time Wednesday as the last of Ohio’s four voter-approved casinos began trying to clear a final major hurdle before being allowed to open to the public. Up to 15,000 invited guests planned to attend an eight-hour dry run of the $400 million Horseshoe Casino Cincinnati on Wednesday. The event is closed to the public and media. Agents with the Ohio Casino Control Commission will be watching every aspect of the casino’s operations during that time and well into Thursday morning, when workers still will be counting the money brought in. “Slots, table games, the work in the cashier cage, the counting room, the main bank — we’re looking at all these sensitive areas to make sure they’re complying with the rules and regulations,” said Matt Schuler, executive director of the commission. “All aspects of the casino’s operations are important to us.” Any major operational problems, such as being unable to accurately count the money, could delay Monday’s opening of the casino. No problems delayed the opening of Ohio’s three other casinos beginning in May in Cleveland and Toledo; casino Columbus’ opened in October. If Cincinnati’s casino opens on time, that will mean the state’s four

casinos will have opened in a 10-month period following voter approval in 2009. Voters approved the casinos after a statewide legalization campaign touted the immediate boost the casinos would give to Ohio’s economy and despite strong disapproval from anti-gambling groups and others. The state collects 33 percent in taxes from the casinos, which is distributed to Ohio’s schools, counties and cities. Since they opened, the casinos in Toledo, Cleveland and Columbus have earned just under $404 million through the end of January, generating about $133 million in taxes. Once all four are up and running, their yearly revenues are expected to be just under $1 billion. Members of the media got a first look at the 400,000two-story, square-foot casino on Tuesday, when workers were busy making lastminute preparations. The facility includes 2,000 slot machines, 87 table games, a buffet, a VIP players’ lounge with limits as high as $50,000 a hand, a World Series of Poker room, and three outward-facing restaurants, including singer Jimmy Buffet’s Margaritaville and Bobby’s Burger Palace by celebrity chef Bobby Flay. Flay is expected to attend Monday’s opening. The casino was built from the ground up in just over two years on what used to be a bedraggled parking lot in the city’s downtown. Profits from Wednesday’s dry run will be given to charity.

Anna falls in finals 47-38 BY KEN BARHORST kbarhorst@civitasmedia.com

DAYTON — The Anna Rockets couldn’t have started much better. Chandon Williams drained a three-pointer on the first shot of the game, Joel Albers followed with a bucket inside, Christian Williams converted a three-point play and Carter Bensman scored on a drive to the bucket for a 10-2 lead. On top of that, the Rockets held West Liberty-Salem without a field goal in the opening quarter. But as the saying goes, it’s not how you start, it’s how you finish, and the Rockets couldn’t overcome shooting woes in losing 47-38 to the Tigers in the Division III Sectional finals at the University of Dayton Arena. Anna won two tournament games over teams with winning records in Carlisle and Miami East, but couldn’t make it three straight and finished the season at 11-14. West Liberty is now 20-5, two of the wins over the Rockets. “I thought we played well but we had trouble shooting the ball,” said Anna coach Nate Barhorst. “And when you get to this stage of the tournament, you need all facets of the game to be working.” Anna finished just 2-for-16 from behind the three-point line, and that was after Williams hit the first shot of the game from behind the arc. Overall, the Rockets were 14-for-43, just 32.6 percent. In addition, the Rockets were 8-for-15 from the foul line and missed the first of a one-and-one twice in the second quarter. By contrast, the Tigers canned their first 18 free throws before missing on their final attempt of the night. Anna’s defensive pressure was intense in the early going, but when Chandon Williams and Albers both picked up their second fouls, Albers with still 4:51 left in the opening period, they had to come out and the Rockets had to back off a little on the defensive end. Anna led 17-12 in the second quarter before five straight Salem points tied it with :32 left in the half. Two Bensman free throws

Redskins oust Botkins 49-38 BY TONY ARNOLD PIQUA — A late-season surge for Fort Loramie has rolled into postseason play as the Redskins notched an impressive 49-38 victory over Botkins in Division IV sectional final boys basketball action Friday. Loramie now moves their mark to 13-11 on the campaign. The Redskins closed out the regular season with three straight victories and now have knocked off a pair of solid teams in tourney action to punch their ticket for a Tuesday night matchup with Troy Christian at the University of Dayton Arena. Botkins finishes a strong year with a 16-9 record. “We had some struggles during the season and these guys just kept believing. They wanted success and knew we were within reach of having success. Hopefully, we continue this run we’re on,” said Loramie coach Karl Ratermann. With a rocking atmosphere to start the game — both sides were filled — fans saw their teams swap punches in the opening quarter. The first period saw plenty of intensity. The Trojans stuck first building an early 4-0 lead following a baseline jumper by Gabe Lawrence and a

Sidney girls Barga turning around girls program at Yellow Springs 6th in state He now has 513 wins in his coaching career bowling BY JACK KRAMER

COLUMBUS — The Sidney High School girls finished sixth and the Versailles girls were eighth in the Girls State Bowling Tournament held Friday in Columbus. The Lady Jackets qualified sixth with a 3,050, and Versailles was eighth with 2,974. Sidney lost to Hubbard and Versailles lost to Coldwater in the championship round, and those two teams were the top two finishers, with Coldwater winning the state championship for the second consecutive year. Sidney was led by senior Shelbie Anderson, who was 11th overall

with a 568 series. She rolled games of 153, 228 and 187. Senior Michelle Abbott finished 22nd with a 539 series on games of 144, 205 and 190, and senior Ashleigh Harris was 27th with a 526 on games of 157, 190 and 179. Junior Holli James finished in 35th place with a 513 series on games of 142, 203, and 168. Versailles’ top bowler was junior Kelsey Berning, 13th with a 563 on games of 161, 224 and 178. Junior Megan Monnin was 30th with a 524 on games of 172, 163 and 189.

Versailles blasts Bethel in sectional DAYTON — As impressive as Versailles was at the offensive end, the Tigers boys basketball team was even stronger on defense. And the end was an 81-34 Versailles victory over Bethel in a D-III sectional final. Versailles will now play the Middletown Madison-Stivers winner at 7 p.m. Thursday at U.D. Arena in the district finals. The Tigers smother a powerfull Bees offense

all night. Bethel went the first seven minutes without a field goal, before Andrew Hurst's field goal got them within 15-5 and it would continue to be the story all night as the Bees made just nine field goals in the game. With Kyle Ahrens scoring 11 points before the break and Nick Campbell scoing eight, Versailles opened a 2911 lead late in the first half. See VERSAILLES/Page 13

YELLOW SPRINGS — Two summers ago, Tim Barga, who guided girls basketball programs at Versailles for 23 years and at Russia and Fairlawn for four years, wanted badly to continue coaching. To prove it, he hopped in his car and drove almost three hours roundtrip for an interview. Right away, he was offered the position as head coach of the Division IV girls program at Yellow Springs High School. He has since driven more than 20,000 miles between the Greene County community and his home in Versailles to lead his new school to its first league championship (Metro Buckeye) ever and its first sectional title in 26 years. “I hope I’ve changed the outlook of these girls about developing a winning attitude and learning communication, teamwork and problem solving skills,” Barga said. “These are values the ladies will use forever. I think they have enjoyed figuring out what it takes to win.” Barga has indeed succeeded. His 18-7 Lady Bulldogs take on state powerhouse Tri-Village today at 1 p.m. in a Division IV district title game at Tipp City. Fort Loramie meets Franklin-Monroe in the game that follows. During this past season, Barga himself suc-

TIM BARGA, who coached at Versailles, Russia and Fairlawn, is shown talking to his Yellow Springs girls basketball team this season. ceeded, too. He reached 500 wins in his more than 25 years of coaching. “I’ve had some great talent along the way. Kelli Stahl and Jacki Raterman, now Stonebreaker, at Versailles to name a couple Tiger greats,” he said. “And, of course, Amanda Francis at Fairlawn. She was probably the best all around player I ever coached.” At Versailles, Barga directed the Lady Tigers to 12 league titles and two final four berths. The former Ohio coach of the year has now registered 512 girls basketball victories in the Buckeye state. Although Barga said he is “okay” with being the 13th winningest coach in girls basketball history in Ohio, he is much more exhilarated by his Lady Bulldogs’ scrappy and determined

performances, game after game, this year. “No quit. Energy and enthusiasm. Intense, hard-nosed play. And solid defense,” said Barga of his team, whose average yield is only 32 points per game. Something has to give in the district final, however. Tri-Village rolled up 100 points in a previous February tourney game and was a state semifinal team a year ago. But Barga said that discipline is a big part of the game. “Winning usually takes care of itself. I try to promote learning as a unit. And that’s important on the court, in class, in the community and at your career. Basketball teaches you a lot,” he said. “That’s one of my jobs…..to help kids become adults.” Senior starters Maryah Martin, Angela

Allen and Keturah Fulton lead the way for the Lady Bulldogs, who were only 8-13 a year ago. Over two seasons, Barga’s patience and experience have been a magical combination boosting the Bulldogs’ play. Barga has started to rebuild the program while overcoming the more laid-back culture of Yellow Springs athletics and its history of losing. Steve Rossi, director of athletics and student leadership at Yellow Springs, said that Barga has been “phenomenal,” adding, “He was just what we needed.” Barga beamed when he said he continues “to put miles on his car, but smiles on his face.” “I am having fun going down the road knowing I’m making some positive impact on these girls’ lives.”

REDSKINS The Redskins began to establish themselves in the second quarter. A high-octane Redskin run was tomahawked by Benanzer, who had a pair of hoops to kick off the second quarter. The Loramie cushion was half a dozen (16-10) following a basket by Gant Olberding. Botkins called a timeout to stop the momentum and Seth Hoying responded for the Trojans. The senior hit a pair of free-throws and added a steal and a coast-to-coast layup as the Botkins deficit was sliced to a pair. However, Loramie closed out the half on a 6-2 run as they jogged into the locker rooms with 22-16 advantage. In the second half, Loramie looked like they might pull away, as they opened things up with a 9-2 run. A catalyst in the drive was Guillozet, who drilled a pair of three balls and the Redskin lead swelled all the way to 31-18. “I was hoping to be able to get a little bit of a spread and I thought we had some opportunities but I knew they were going to come back. Brett (Meyer) does a fantastic job with those guys and they are going to fight hard. We’ve had three tough contests with them this year. I knew they were going to make a run – that’s the kind of kids they have over there. For us to hold onto that lead says a lot about our guys and holding their composure,” said Ratermann. Botkins sharpshooter Gabe Lawrence finally stopped the momentum by canning a trey but it was Loramie who still led 33-22 heading into the fourth. “I felt that rebounding hurt us. One was at the end of the first half that put them up six. I thought we fought back really well and cut it to five — with the ball.

Give Fort Loramie credit — defensively they were very sound and didn’t give us too many looks and they just made a few more plays than us tonight,” said Botkins coach Brett Meyer. Field goals were tough to come by in the fourth quarter as both teams spent plenty of time at the charity stripe. Botkins sliced the lead to single digits (3627) following a pair at the line by Schwartz. The Loramie lead was trimmed to five (40-35) after a 16-foot baseline jumper by Lawrence with just under two minutes remaining in the contest. With the game on the line, Loramie delivered some clutch plays down the stretch. The Redskins who shot 14 of 19 from the free-throw line in the fourth quarter alone got some big ones from Craig Fullenkamp. The junior guard who dropped 9 of 12 from the line for the game hit four big ones within 30 seconds to put his team up 44-36. Grant Olberding provided the highlight reel play of the night with a two-handed drop step dunk for the Redskins with 25 seconds remaining. Seth Guillozet led Loramie and all scorers with 16 points, and Olberding tossed in 11. The Trojans were led by seniors Gabe Lawrence with 13 points and Josh Schwartz with 11.

VERSAILLES Bethel countered with the final four points of the half to make it 29-15 and came out hoping for a fast start in the second half. But, Versailles quickly erased any doubt. Chad Winner, Ahrens and Evan Phlipot scored six quick points to erase any doubt — and Ahrens added four more to make it 39-15 with 5:43 to go in the third quarter. Ahrens led Versailles with 23 points, while Damian Richard added 14 points and eight rebounds. Jacob Wenning came off the bench to have an amazing second half for the Tigers. He was 6-for-6 from the floor, including one three and 2-for-3 from the line for 15 points. Patrick Bain scored 10 point in the second half to lead the Bees with 12 points and six rebounds. He was a perfect 10for-10 from the line. Gus Schwiterman added 11 points and eight rebounds. Versailles was 33 of 57 from the floor for 58 percent and 10 of 15 from the line for 67 percent. Bethel was just nine of 46 from the floor for 20 percent and 16 of 24 from the line for 67 percent. Versailles won the battle of the boards 3525 and had 11 turnovers to Bethel's 16.

Reds sign Mark Prior to contract SURPRISE, Ariz. (AP) — Mark Prior is making yet another pitch to return to the big leagues. The 32-year-old Prior has signed a minor league contract with the Cincinnati Reds, marking the fourth straight spring the oft-injured righty has tried a comeback. Prior has not been in the majors since 2006. He pitched for Boston in Triple-A last season, making 19 relief appearances with a 3.96 ERA. This move reunites Prior and Reds manager Dusty Baker. They were together with the Chicago Cubs several years ago, and Prior was an All-Star in 2003 when the team came close to reaching the World Series. “He called me in the winter. We talk sometimes. He sends my wife updates on the kids,” Baker said Friday. “He never asked me for anything. He said, ‘Hey man, I’d like to try it one more time.’ I told him, ‘If I can help you, I’ll make the opportunity.’” Baker was criticized by some for overusing Prior, but the pitcher never blamed the manager. A friendship between them led to this latest chance. Baker got the OK from Reds general manager Walt Jocketty before Prior was brought to camp. Prior joined the Reds after passing a physical. Prior was the overall No. 2 pick in the 2001 draft and was in the majors the next season at 21.

I further testing? — C.R. had my B-12 level ANSWER: The “norchecked to see if I was de- mal” range for a given

laboratory result is based on the range that is found in healthy individuals. Almost all characteristics you can think of — height, weight, blood pressure — have a range of values. The “normal” is defined as where 95 percent of healthy people will fall. That means that 5 percent of healthy people will be outside the range, even though there is nothing wrong with them. That almost certainly is what is happening with you. Omeprazole and drugs like it do cause a slight, probably insignificant drop in B-12 levels. However, true B-12 deficiency from these medications hasn’t been seen. It is true that diseases associated with de-

struction of liver or white blood cells can cause these cells to release their B-12 into the blood. When I have seen this, the B-12 level was in the several-thousand range, and there were many other blood abnormalities. I think it’s very unlikely that anything like that is going on with you.

(Just Being “different” isn’t don’t fall into the trap of

doing it FOR them.) DEAR ABBY: I have been with my boyfriend, “Dan,” for almost five years. He’s wonderful and we have a great relationship. We have talked about spending our lives together, but had mutually agreed in the beginning that marriage wasn’t a priority for either of us. He has said for years that he never wanted to marry — which is fine with me. I now suspect that he’s planning to propose to me on our fifth anniversary. (He has never been great at hiding surprises.) I’m thrilled that he wants to make that kind of commitment, and I want nothing more than to spend the rest of my life with him, but the thought of marriage scares me. I don’t know if it’s nerves about the pending proposal or that I have never planned on marriage and now I have to think about all the stress and strife that

comes with planning a wedding. I want to say yes, but I love the way things are right now, and I know that marriage will change things. What, if anything, do I say to him? — COLD FEET? IN SALT LAKE CITY DEAR COLD FEET?: I wish you had mentioned why you think being married to Dan would “change things.” If you’ve been happy together for five years, it’s unlikely that making a formal commitment would damage the special relationship you have together. Perhaps this is “old school,” but I feel that if couples plan to bring children into the world, they should be married. Because you want nothing more than to spend the rest of your life with Dan, and are concerned about the stress of planning a wedding, when he pops the question, I suggest you say, “Yes — why don’t we elope?”

March 2, 1938 The probability of Fort Loramie securing one of the memorials proposed in the bill by Senator Bulkley was the subject at the regular meeting of the Fort Loramie Civic Club last evening. The memorials are planned to commemorate the historical campaign of General Anthony Wayne.

ARLO & JANIS

HOROSCOPE BY FRANCES DRAKE For Sunday, March 3, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) This is a loosey-goosey day, and although you might want to discuss shared property, inheritances and such, don’t do it. Nothing will come of it. Just coast. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) This can be a playful day dealing with friends and partners if you keep matters light. Avoid important discussions, and certainly avoid important decisions or making promises to others. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Shortages, delays and minor mistakes on the job are likely today. This could be frustrating. On the other hand, it’s easy to think outside-the-box. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) This is an extremely creative day for artists or anyone involved in a creative project — the theater, screenwriting, arts and crafts, writing or working with children. Enjoy your day. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) You’ll enjoy puttering around your home today. Do whatever makes you feel like you’re getting better organized, but really, you’re just marking time. It’s one of those days. Relax. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Conversations with others will be all over the map today, and they might be fun. Just remember that anything said today is not to be taken seriously until tomorrow. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Be very careful with your finances today. This is a poor day for making major expenditures or shopping for anything other than food. In addition, avoid important decisions. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) You feel like a helium balloon floating freely today, which is why you’re not quite sure what to do. No worries. Just go with the flow, but avoid major expenditures or important decisions. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Quiet time in contemplation or solitary work will please you today. Don’t expect too much of yourself or others. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) A discussion with a female might be unusually frank and candid. People are inclined to let their guard down today. Listen with care. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Guard against making some goofy mistakes that other people (especially bosses and VIPs) will be aware of. Nobody wants bad press, even you. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) You have strong feelings of wanting to escape from all this today. That’s OK. Do something different. Be a tourist in your own city. But don’t spend money on anything other than food. However, you might learn something quite fascinating. YOU BORN TODAY You are a visionary and can easily imagine what it is that you want to achieve because you are both imaginative and practical. You’re very private, but you like to lend your efforts to social causes that make the world a better place. You’re a great planner and are very involved in whatever you do. In the year ahead, an important choice will arise. Choose wisely. Birthdate of: Miranda Richardson, actress; Tyler Florence, TV chef; Alexander Graham Bell, inventor/teacher.

CAUTION Whether posting or responding to an advertisement, watch out for offers to pay more than the advertised price for the item. Scammers will send a check and ask the seller to wire the excess through Western Union (possibly for courier fees). The scammer's check is fake and eventually bounces and the seller loses the wired amount. While banks and Western Union branches are trained at spotting fake checks, these types of scams are growing increasingly sophisticated and fake checks often aren't caught for weeks. Funds wired through Western Union or MoneyGram are irretrievable and virtually untraceable. If you have questions regarding scams like these or others, please contact the Ohio Attorney General’s office at (800)282-0515.
