Good Friday service Rev. Jane Madden, of Sidney, minister at Sidney First United Methodist Church, talks about Jesus during a Good Friday service at Solid Rock Pentecostal Church of God. The service focused on the last seven words spoken by Jesus on the cross.

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — Across North Korea, soldiers are gearing up for battle and shrouding their jeeps and vans with camouflage netting. Newly painted signboards and posters call for “death to the U.S. imperialists” and urge the people to fight with “arms, not words.” But even as North Korean leader Kim Jong Un is issuing midnight battle cries to his generals to ready their rockets, he and his million-man army know full well that a successful missile strike on U.S. targets would be suicide for the outnumbered, outpowered North Korean regime. Despite the hastening drumbeat of warfare — seemingly bringing the region to the very brink of conflict with threats and provocations — Pyongyang aims to force Washington to the negotiating table, pressure the new president in Seoul to change policy on North Korea, and build unity inside the communist country without triggering a

full-blown war. North Korea wants to draw attention to the tenuousness of the armistice designed to maintain peace on the Korean Peninsula, a truce Pyongyang recently announced it would no longer honor as it warned that war could break out at any time. In July, it will be 60 years since North Korea and China signed an armistice with the U.S. and the United Nations to bring an end to three years of fighting that cost millions of lives. The designated Demilitarized Zone has evolved into the most heavily guarded border in the world. It was never intended to be a permanent border. But six decades later, North and South remain divided, with Pyongyang feeling abandoned by the South Koreans in the quest for reunification and threatened by the Americans. In that time, South Korea has blossomed from a poor, agrarian nation of peasants into the world’s 15th largest economy while North Korea is struggling to find a way out of a Cold War chasm that has See KOREA/Page 6A

Villages consider regional rescue service BY KATHY LEESE JACKSON CENTER — A new regional rescue squad made up of Jackson Center, Anna, Kettlersville and Botkins is under consideration and of-

Metz

ficials are hoping the public will provide input into the possible venture at an upcoming meeting. According to Jackson Center Village Administrator Bruce Metz, who is also a Jackson Center fire captain and formerly served as the fire chief, the idea for a regional rescue squad came about after a Jackson Township Trustee suggested the

idea. “One of our Jackson Center trustees (John Mann) came in and talked,” Metz said, noting that he (Mann) discussed the lack of Jackson Center Rescue Squad members and felt this might provide another avenue for rescue services. “This is affecting the people of Jackson (Center),” Metz said, noting that it is resulting in a longer response time for

those needing rescue services in that area. Mann had attended a township trustee meeting and heard a talk by William Kramer, a retired Cincinnati Fire Chief, who has also served as an Indianapolis Airport Fire Chief. The talk resulted in a discussion between Metz and Mann about implementing a regional rescue service in the See RESCUE/Page 3A

Chain reaction Two people were taken to the hospital after a four vehicle chain reaction crash on West Michigan Street near Taco Bell at around 3:20 p.m. Friday. Sidney police and firefighters responded to the accident.

Child struck, killed by truck WEST LIBERTY — An 8-year-old boy was struck and killed by a vehicle Thursday morning in West Liberty. About 9:56 a.m., the West Liberty Police Department responded to a report of a pedestrian struck by a vehicle in the 300 block of North Detroit Street. Officers learned that Colton Furrow, of West Liberty, was struck by a 2008 GMC truck while attempting

to cross the street with his brother. Furrow was transported to Mary Rutan Hospital, Bellefontaine, where he was pronounced dead. Witnesses told police they saw the boys trying to cross the street north of the intersection at East Newell Street. They said they were not in a marked crosswalk and that there was heavy traffic prior to the crash.

The vehicle was driven by Gene Rainsburg, 52, of Kenton. The crash remains under investigation, but police stated in a press release that no criminal charges will be filed. Police were assisted at the scene by the Logan County Sheriff ’s Office and the West Liberty Fire Department. obituary for An Colton Furrow appears on Page 5A today.

Couple sentenced for mushrooms TOLEDO (AP) — A Toledo-area man convicted in what authorities called a large-scale psychedelic mushroomgrowing operation has been sentenced to five years in state prison. The (Toledo) Blade reports that 41-year-old Matthew Thierry was the owner of the properties raided in September.

The Whitehouse man pleaded guilty last month to illegal manufacture of drugs, aggravated possession of drugs, aggravated trafficking in drugs, and tampering with evidence. He was sentenced in Lucas County Thursday. His wife, 38-year-old Sara Thierry, a high

school Spanish teacher, pleaded guilty to tampering with evidence for asking a co-worker of her husband's to destroy a thumb drive on his computer that prosecutors believed was evidence in the case. She was sentenced to four years of community control, a form of house arrest.

area. “I kind of shot him (Kramer) an email,” Metz said, to look into the idea of the regional service and he noted Kramer agreed to come to Shelby County and initially speak for free about the idea. Metz said the regional rescue squad would involve Anna Botkins, Kettlersville and Jackson Center rescue and he said there would be benefits. “The benefit….day time coverage.” He noted that currently, rescue squads are staffed with volunteers, and they must leave work and other obligations in the day time to provide coverage. This way, there would be a paid day crew to oversee rescue runs and “the volunteers could still man theirs rescue (individual squads) at night.” Metz said it is possible if the northern area of Shelby County has a regional rescue squad, the other county rescue squads could combine to form another regional squad to cover the other areas of Shelby County; however, he is unsure how they would feel about the possibility. “The response would be right away….there’s going to be someone there right away,” Metz said, noting the regional squad would improve response times. Metz stated that the regional rescue squad would not replace services already in place. “This meeting in no way (is) trying to shut down any rescue squad.” Metz noted that it has been difficult getting new Jackson Center rescue squad volunteers.”You’ve got to recruit them, you’ve got to retain them.

Metz said that there will be a meeting to discuss the possibility of the regional rescue unit and he noted that trustees from each township including Dinsmore, Franklin, Van Buren and Jackson are expected to be in attendance and he has asked for two representatives from Anna, Botkins, Kettlersville and Jackson Center to be at the meeting. Metz Additionally, said Anna Fire Chief Tim Bender, Botkins Fire Chief Pat Fullenkamp, Kettlersville Fire Chief Chuck Axe and Jackson Center Fire Chief Jerry Davis are expected to attend the meeting.

that in the fire (department) too.” “We discussed how it is difficult for our rescue squad (Jackson Center) to get a crew during the day with low membership right now, a couple of members off on medical leave and members working out of town. So the conversation led to a full time day time squad. Then it went to maybe if villages and townships go together, maybe (it) would be easier to finance,” Metz said, noting that is when he contacted Franklin, Van Buren, Jackson and Dinsmore Townships regarding the possibility as well as the village offrom Anna, ficials Botkins, Jackson Center and Kettlersville. “There are two squads (Anna and Jackson Center) that cover these four townships,” Metz noted. According to Metz, approval for a regional rescue squad would likely have to come from the villages. “Each village would have to do a resolution. There would have to be a board (for the regional rescue squad).” The money to fund a regional rescue squad would likely have to come from the taxpayers. “If we need to do a levy, each township would have to put the levy on, that way it’s fair to all.” Additionally, “the (regional) squad would bill for runs like they do now.” The amount of the millage would have to be determined, Metz said. As for a location, Metz said one possibility is locating the regional rescue squad building at the Ohio 274 and Interstate 75 intersection.

Furloughs will shut Air Force wing on Fridays DAYTON (AP) — Officials say a U.S. Air Force reserve wing that flies troops around the globe will start shutting down on Fridays when civilian furloughs begin at Ohio’s largest military base. That’s the word at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base near Dayton, where around 13,000 civilian employees will be subject to furloughs because of defense budget cuts. The Dayton Daily News reports that the Air Force Reserve 445th Airlift Wing relies on hundreds of civilian air reserve technicians, who serve double duty as reserve military personnel, to keep nine C-17 Globemaster III cargo jets flying. Wright-Patterson union leaders welcomed the Department of Defense’s announcement Thursday that civilian furloughs would be up to 14 work days beginning in June, eight fewer days than originally anticipated. ————— Information from: Dayton Daily News, http://www.daytondailynews.com

State grants licenses for immigrants in program COLUMBUS (AP) — Ohio will start issuing temporary driver’s licenses to young immigrants who have temporary legal presence under a federal program. The Bureau of Motor Vehicles said Friday that deputy registrars were told to issue licenses to those who qualify through the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, or DACA. Ohio officials will take the extra security step of confirming those applicants’ records with the U.S. Citizen and Immigration Services database before granting them licenses. The DACA program announced last year provides valid federal work permits for qualified applicants who came to the U.S. illegally as children. Ohio and other states have grappled with how and whether to issue driver’s licenses to those granted legal presence. The BMV says Ohio is the 38th state to issue temporary licenses to DACA grantees.

Feds: Consider injuries in Ohio postal sentencing COLUMBUS (AP) — Prosecutors are asking a judge to consider the harm suffered by intended recipients of stolen gift cards and the people who mailed them when the former Ohio postal worker who took the cards is sentenced next month. Prosecutors say federal Judge Algenon Marbley also should consider the injuries suffered by federal agents when they were punched and bitten while arresting the worker. Former U.S. Postal Service worker Terrence McLean pleaded guilty last year to charges accusing him of stealing cash and gift cards from mail at a central Ohio processing center and assaulting officers. Assistant U.S. Attorney Doug Squires said in a filing Friday that McLean’s theft was on a grand scale. A probation department sentencing report recommends a year in prison for McLean.

Twice-threatened base gets new mission, jobs MANSFIELD (AP) — An Air National Guard base that has faced possible closure twice in the past eight years will get about 200 new jobs — a move that a base commander and area officials attribute largely to community support. Officials have been waiting for some good news for a long time, Col. McCue, comGary mander of the 179th Airlift Wing of the Ohio Air National Guard based in Mansfield in north-central Ohio, told the Mansfield News Journal. “Community support is really what did it,” combined with the work of Ohio members of Congress, he said. U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown announced Thursday that the airlift wing, which was included on a list of air guard bases around the country facing cuts as recently as last year, would be getting a new mission and eight C-130H planes from the Air Force, re-

sulting in around 180 new jobs. The base was faced with possible closure last year after the federal budget for 2013 recommended cutting the nation’s fleet of C-27J military aircraft as part of a plan that would cut 200 planes from 60 military installations in 33 states. Those cuts included four C-27J Spartan cargo planes and could have eliminated an estimated 800 jobs. The 179th will still lose the four C-27J planes. But under the plan announced Thursday, the Air Force will ship the eight large transport planes to the base, and that means more personnel. The first of the planes are expected to arrive by September. Economic development officials said residents and private and public officials in Mansand Richland field County worked hard to save the base.

“The whole community rallied behind the base, and we were able to get over 20,000 emails to Congress in support of it,” Bridget McDaniel, executive director of the Richland Community Development Group, said Friday. Brown a Democrat who was born and raised in Mansfield, said Thursday that the base “will be alive and well,” The Columbus Dispatch reported. The initial plan to make cuts at the base drew objections from Brown and Sen. Rob Portman, R-Ohio, and was an issue in the 2012 presidential race. President Barack Obama pledged last year to find a new mission for the base, and Brown said the president kept that commitment. Portman said in a release Thursday that “it’s been a long fight to show the White House that getting rid of the 179th was the wrong decision.”

McCue says the additions will push the number of employees up to about 850, with most of the new jobs being parttime in the areas of opand erations maintenance. Tim Bowersock, economic development director for the city of Mansfield, said Friday that the base has an annual economic impact of about $45 million on the region, including items such as salaries, taxes and spending. The city has a population of about 48,000 residents, with about 126,000 residents countywide. Bowersock says community officials are pleased about the additional jobs, but also the new mission “helps ensure that the base is going to stay.” McCue told the News Journal that “we will never consider ourselves completely safe,” but added that “the morale here is very high.”

Landlord accused of whipping mentally disabled man WAYNESVILLE (AP) — An Ohio landlord charged with whipping an adult tenant with a belt on his buttocks for falling behind on his rent has been accused of whipping another man with a belt and a paddle, according to court records obtained Friday. In a lawsuit filed in southwestern Ohio’s Warren County on Tuesday, Mark Neace accuses Ronald Kronenberger of spanking him on four separate occasions while Neace worked as a volunteer in Kronenberger’s grocery store in Waynesville.

The lawsuit, which describes Neace as mentally disabled, says the whippings caused him “severe emotional distress.” Kronenberger’s home phone number does not accept messages and the number at his grocery store in Waynesville rang busy Friday. His Dayton attorney, Lawrence Greger, declined to comment. The lawsuit seeks unspecified damages, but Neace’s attorney said he thinks it’s worth up to $100,000. “This guy cried in my office,” attorney Eric De-

ters said. “People with a disability like this have an innocence about them and that innocence being shattered is really sad.” Deters said Neace, who is 56 and lives with his mother, wanted to volunteer at the grocery store because he’s social and everyone in town knows him. No police reports have been filed stemming from the incidents, but Deters said he forwarded information about the case to the county prosecutor’s office to consider whether criminal charges are appropriate. In January, the 53-

year-old Kronenberger was charged with hitting a former 29-year-old tenant on the buttocks with a belt in a dispute over more than $2,000 in overdue rent. A magistrate said he would dismiss an assault charge against Kronenberger in six months if he stayed away from the tenant and out of trouble, but that he would face conviction if he violates the order. Kronenberger is a former chamber of commerce president and was named Waynesville’s Citizen of the Year in 2006.

LEHMAN CATHOLIC seniors Jacob Haller (left) and Nick Cummons practice answering Fermi questions for the State Science Olympiad. Haller is the son of Cameron and Theresa Haller. Cummons is the son of Jeff and Anne Cummons. Lehman’s team qualified for state competition for the ninth consecutive year.

Lehman team places 7th overall The Lehman Catholic High School Science Olympiad team placed seventh overall at the Northwest Regional Science Olympiad on March 23, a ranking that qualifies the team for the State Science Olympiad for the ninth consecutive year. Lehman placed behind teams from Sylvania Northview (two teams), Sylvania Southview, Springfield, Ottawa Hills and Paulding High schools in a field of 20 teams who gathered for the competition held at Defiance College. Science Olympiad is an academic, interscholastic competition designed to increase student interest in the STEM disciplines of science, technology, engineering and mathematics to improve the quality of science education. Groups from each school’s team compete in a series of 23 events that test students’ knowledge of science skills, processes and applications in a wide range of science disciplines including biology, chemistry, physics, technology, earth science and mathematics. Unlike athletics and other contests, schools of all sizes compete against one another in Science Olympiad. Lehman placed in the top 10 in all but three of the 23 events. Winning a silver medal for a second-place finish were Nick Cummons and Jacob Haller in “Fermi Questions.” Sarah Gravunder and Joe Fuller placed fourth in “Robot Arm” and Cassidy Hemm and Olivia Leece placed fourth in “Write It, Do It.” Fifth-place finishers were Samantha Neumeier and Ellie Waldsmith (“Designer Genes” and “Disease Detectives”), Pierce Bennett and Adam Link (“Dynamic Planet”), Nick Cummons and Riley Pickrel (Magnetic Levitation”), Bennett and Allison Larger (“Material Science”), and Bennett and Fuller (“Water Quality”). Placing sixth were Cummons and Katie Heckman (“Circuit Lab”), and Pickrel and Larger (“Gravity Vehicle”). Placing seventh were Larger and Leece (“Forensics”), Neumeier

and Stephen Blenman (“Remote Sensing”), and Neumeier and (“Technical Haller Problem Solving”). Emily Reinhart and Hemm placed eighth in “Elastic Launch Glider” and Cummons, Link, and Heckman were eighth in “Experimental Design.” Finishing ninth were Haller and B l e n m a n (“Boomilever”), Bennett and Fuller (“Forestry”), and Gravunder and Heckman (“ThermodyNeumeier namics”). and Waldsmith placed 10th in “Anatomy and Physiology.” The faculty adviser of the Lehman team is Science Department Chair Sister Ginny Scherer. Other Lehman science teachers involved in coaching the team are Tracy Hall and Amanda Duritsch. Volunteers from the Lehman community who help with coaching are Jim Hemm, Gary Schultz, Frank Blenman, and Kim and Steve Wenning. This year’s team is being funded through grants from Emerson Climate Technologies and the Miami County Foundation. Lehman students are very grateful to these sponsors and all of their coaches who volunteer their time, school officials said. In addition to the team members already mentioned, the Lehman Catholic team includes two alternates. Those students are Allen Armstrong and Patrick Pudlewski. Sponsored by The Ohio State University, the Ohio Science Olympiad has grown from just 23 teams competing in a state competition in 1985 to 266 teams competing in eight regional tournaments in 2013. Nationally, more than 350,000 students are involved in the Science Olympiad program. The Lehman team is now one of just 40 high school (and 40 junior high school) teams preparing for state competition to be held at The Ohio State University on April 27. The state winners will earn the right to compete in the 29th annual National Science Olympiad Tournament to be held in Ohio this year on May 17-18 at Wright State University in Dayton.


NATION/WORLD TODAY IN HISTORY BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Today is Saturday, March 30, the 89th day of 2013. There are 276 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On March 30, 1981, President Ronald Reagan escaped an attempt on his life outside a Washington D.C. hotel, where he was shot and seriously wounded by John W. Hinckley Jr. Also wounded were White House press secretary James Brady, Secret Service agent Timothy McCarthy, and District of Columbia police officer Thomas Delahanty. On this date: • In 1135, the Jewish philosopher Maimonides was born in Cordoba in present-day Spain. • In 1822, Florida became a United States territory. • In 1867, U.S. Secretary of State William H. Seward reached agreement with Russia to purchase the territory of Alaska for $7.2 million. • In 1870, the 15th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which prohibited denying citizens the right to vote and hold office on the basis of race, was declared in effect by Secretary of State Hamilton Fish. Texas was readmitted to the Union. • In 1909, the Queensboro Bridge, linking the New York City boroughs of Manhattan and Queens, opened. • In 1923, the Cunard liner RMS Laconia became the first passenger ship to circle the globe as it arrived in New York. • In 1945, the Soviet Union invaded Austria during World War II. • In 1959, a narrowly divided U.S. Supreme Court, in Bartkus v. Illinois, ruled that a conviction in state court following an acquittal in federal court for the same crime did not constitute double jeopardy. • In 1963, singer Lesley Gore, age 16, recorded her hit “It’s My Party” for Mercury Records in New York. • In 1972, North Vietnamese forces launched their three-pronged Easter Offensive against South Vietnam; the fighting lasted until the following October. • In 1986, actor James Cagney died at his farm in Stanfordville, N.Y., at age 86. • In 2002, Britain’s Queen Mother Elizabeth died at Royal Lodge, Windsor, outside London; she was 101 years old. • Ten years ago: A Palestinian suicide bomber wounded some 30 people outside a packed cafe in northern Israel, an attack the Islamic Jihad called “Palestine’s gift to the heroic people of Iraq.”

OUT OF THE BLUE

Herd on the run VIENNA (AP) — Austrian police and firefighters have taken on the role of urban cowboys in a two-day round-up of a herd of cattle that broke out of a fencedoff pasture and decided to go into town. A police statement says the 43 steers defied attempts by police and volunteer firefighters to recapture them after wandering off Thursday and heading toward the Upper Austrian town of Freistadt. After being chased away from the railway station, they endangered motorists by stampeding onto a twolane highway before running into a town suburb. Two firefighters who tried to stop them were injured and needed hospital treatment. The statement says 18 of the animals remained on the loose Friday. The rest have been corralled or tranquilized.

Pope refers to ‘Muslim brothers’ BY NICOLE WINFIELD Associated Press ROME (AP) — Pope Francis reached out in friendship to “so many Muslim brothers and sisters” during a Good Friday procession dedicated to the suffering of Christians from terrorism, war and religious fanaticism in the Middle East. The new pontiff, who has rankled traditionalists by rejecting many trappings of his office, mostly stuck to the traditional script during the nighttime Way of the Cross procession at Rome’s Colosseum, one of the most dramatic rituals of Holy Week. With torches lighting the way, the faithful carried a cross to different stations, where meditations and prayers were read out recalling the final hours of Jesus’ life and his crucifixion. This year, the prayers were composed by young Lebanese, and many recalled the plight of minority Christians in the region, where wars have forced thousands to flee their homelands. The meditations called for an end to “violent fundamentalism,” terrorism and the “wars and violence which in our days devastate various countries in the Middle East.” Francis, who became pope just over two weeks ago, chose, however, to stress Christians’ positive relations with Muslims in the region in

POPE FRANCIS delivers his blessing during the Via Crucis (Way of the Cross) torchlight procession celebrated in front of the Colosseum on Good Friday in Rome, Friday. Pope Francis is sitting in silent prayer during this year’s Good Friday procession, which is re-enacting Christ’s crucifixion and recalling the wars and “violent fundamentalism” that are devastating the Middle East today. his brief comments at the end of the ceremony. Standing on a platform overlooking the procession route, Francis recalled Benedict XVI’s 2012 visit to Lebanon when “we saw the beauty and the strong bond of communion joining Christians together in that land and the friendship of our Muslim brothers and sisters and so many others.” “That occasion was a sign to the Middle East and to the whole world, a sign of hope,” he said. Friday’s outreach followed Francis’ eyebrow-raising gesture a day earlier, when he

washed and kissed the feet of two women, one a Muslim, in the Holy Thursday ritual that commemorates Jesus’ washing of his apostles’ feet during the Last Supper before his crucifixion. Breaking with tradition, Francis performed the ritual on 12 inmates at a juvenile detention center, rather than in Rome’s grand St. John Lateran basilica, where in the past, 12 priests have been chosen to represent Jesus’ disciples. Before he became pope, the former Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio long cultivated warm relations with Muslim leaders in his native Ar-

gentina. In one of his first speeches as pope, he called for the church and the West in general to “intensify” relations with the Muslim world. The Vatican’s relations with Islam hit several bumps during Benedict XVI’s papacy, when he outraged Muslims with a 2006 speech quoting a Byzantine emperor as saying some of Prophet Muhammad’s teachings were “evil and inhuman.” And in 2011, the preeminent institute of Islamic learning in the Sunni Muslim world, Cairo’s Al-Azhar institute, froze dialogue with the Vatican to protest Benedict’s call for greater protection of Christians in Egypt. However, Francis’ past outreach to the Muslim community in Argentina seems to have changed that. Al-Azhar’s chief imam, Sheik Ahmed elTayyib, sent a message of congratulations to Francis on his election and said he hoped for cooperation. The Vatican’s efforts to reconcile with the Islamic world have not been welcomed by all. Italy’s most famous Muslim convert to Catholicism, Magdi Allam, announced last week he was leaving the church because of its “soft” stance on Islam. Allam was baptized by Benedict XVI in 2008 during the high-profile Easter Vigil service when the pope traditionally baptizes a handful of adults. There has been no Vatican comment on his about-face.

Ariz. man gets probation for mercy killing BY BRIAN SKOLOFF Associated Press PHOENIX (AP) — There was no doubt 86year-old George Sanders killed his ailing wife. Yet everyone in the small Arizona courtroom — the prosecutor, the judge and even the couple’s family members — agreed it was a time for compassion, not punishment. “My grandfather lived to love my grandmother, to serve and to make her feel as happy as he could every moment of their life,” Sanders’ grandson, Grant, told the judge, describing the couple’s life together as “a beautiful love story.” “I truly believe that the pain had become too much for my grandmother to bear,” he said, while Sanders looked on during the sentencing hearing Friday and occasionally wiped his eyes with a tissue as relatives pleaded tearfully for mercy. Sanders was arrested last fall after he says his wife, Virginia, 81, begged him to kill her. He was initially charged with first-degree murder, but pleaded guilty to manslaughter in a deal with prosecutors. Still, he faced a sentence of up to 12 years. His wife, whose family called her Ginger, was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 1969, and was forced into a wheelchair soon after. She and Sanders, a World War II veteran, moved from Washington state in the 1970s for Arizona’s warm, dry climate. George Sanders became her sole caregiver. He cooked for her, cleaned the house, did laundry, put on her makeup and would take her to the beauty salon where he’d hold her hands up so she could get her nails done. Eventually, though, his own health deteriorated. He had a pacemaker put in, and Virginia was diagnosed with gangrene on her foot. She

Do it. Do it.’ And I just let it go,” Sanders added. In court Friday, as Sanders awaited his fate, his son told the judge the family never wanted him to be prosecuted.

KOREA left it with a per capita income on par with sub-Saharan Africa. The Chinese troops who fought alongside the North Koreans have long since left. But 28,500 American troops are still stationed in South Korea and 50,000 more are in nearby Japan. For weeks, the U.S. and South Korea have been showing off their military might with a series of joint exercises that Pyongyang sees a rehearsal for invasion. On Thursday, the U.S. military confirmed that those drills included two nuclear-capable B-2 stealth bombers that can unload the U.S. Air Force’s largest conventional bomb — a 30,000-pound super bunker buster — powerful enough to destroy North Korea’s web of underground military tunnels. It was a flexing of military muscle by Washington, perhaps aimed not only at Pyongyang but at Beijing as well.

Philadelphian jumps on tracks to help fallen man

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A recovering drug addict with a long rap sheet who’s being hailed as a hero for jumping onto subway tracks in Philadelphia to rescue a man says he doesn’t see himself as heroic. Thirty-two-year-old Christopher Knafelc told The Associated Press on Friday that he just sees it as doing the right thing. Knafelc had just sat down to wait for a train at a north Philadelphia station Thursday afternoon when he saw a man fall off the platform and onto the tracks. He jumped down to help the man, knowing that another train would be arriving in a few minutes. Knafelc says he’s struggled with drug addiction since his teens but is getting his life back on track, thanks in part to the birth of his daughter in 2010.

From Page 1 In Pyongyang, Kim Jong Un reacted swiftly, calling an emergency meeting of army generals and ordering them to be prepared to strike if the U.S. actions continue. A photo distributed by North Korea’s official Korean Central News Agency showed Kim in a military operations room with maps detailing a “strike plan” behind him in a very public show of supposedly sensitive military strategy. North Korea cites the U.S. military threat as a key reason behind its need to build nuclear weapons, and has poured a huge chunk of its small national budget into defense, science and technology. In December, scientists launched a satellite into space on the back of a long-range rocket using technology that could easily be converted for missiles; in February, they tested an underground nuclear device as part of a mission to build a bomb they can

load on a missile capable of reaching the U.S. However, what North Korea really wants is legitimacy in the eyes of the U.S. — and a peace treaty. Pyongyang wants U.S. troops off Korean soil, and the bombs and rockets are more of an expensive, dangerous safety blanket than real firepower. They are the only real playing card North Korea has left, and the bait they hope will bring the Americans to the negotiating table. White House spokesman Josh Earnest said North Korea’s “bellicose rhetoric” would only deepen its international isolation, and that the U.S. has both the capability and willingness to defend its interests in the region. Narushige Michishita, director of the Security and International Studies Program at Japan’s National Graduate Institute for Policy Studies, isn’t convinced North Korea is

capable of attacking Guam, Hawaii or the U.S. mainland. He says Pyongyang hasn’t successfully tested an intercontinental ballistic missile. But its medium-range Rodong missiles, with a range of about 800 miles (1,300 kilometers), are “operational and credible” and could reach U.S. bases in Japan, he says. More likely than such a strike, however, is a smallerscale incident, perhaps off the Koreas’ western coast, that would not provoke the Americans to unleash their considerable firepower. For years, the waters off the west coast have been a battleground for naval skirmishes between the two Koreas because the North has never recognized the maritime border drawn unilaterally by the U.N. As threatening as Kim’s call to arms may sound, its main target audience may be the masses at home in North Korea.

Thor completes HQ move JACKSON CENTER — Thor Industries Inc., parent firm of Airstream, has completed moving its corporate headquarters to downtown Elkhart, Ind., from Jackson Center. The company announced the move in January as a strategic decision to be more accessible and active in the community where a large majority of RVs are produced and where more than 70 percent of the company’s operations are located. The new headquarters building was previously unoccupied and

was renovated to include new design features providing a world-class atmosphere for the company. The reuse of this building is a prime example of the recent efforts being made to revitalize the downtown Elkhart area. The new office will have the capacity to host a variety of meetings and events with dealers, suppliers, investors and the broader Elkhart community. Thor’s corporate human resources, finance and accounting, legal and information technology departments are now

housed at the new facility. Bob Martin, Thor president and chief operating officer, commented, “We are pleased with the smooth transition to our new offices on Beardsley Avenue and are looking forward to working in close proximity to the majority of our production facilities as well as our key suppliers. In addition, our new offices provide us with the flexibility to host events that showcase our RV and bus products on-site. We believe the investment in our new headquarters will provide a significant

return in the form of more efficient management of Thor’s resources in Elkhart and the surrounding area, as well as even stronger relationships with our customers and suppliers.” The new address for Thor’s corporate headquarters is 601 E. Beardsley Ave., Elkhart, IN 46514-3305. Thor is the sole owner of operating subsidiaries that, combined, represent the world’s largest manufacturer of recreation vehicles and a major builder of commercial buses and ambulances.

DR. WALLACE: I live with my mother and stepfather. He and I don’t agree on anything, and I’m not happy being anywhere near him. I love my mom, but why she married this guy is a mystery to me. He is a despicable human being! I want to move out of our house and live with my best friend’s family. They have invited me to stay with them. My friend and I both work at the same restaurant as food servers, and we both make excellent tips. I graduated from high school at mid-semester,

The board granted a request by Lynda Adams of the Soil and Water Conservation District to use foodpreservation equipment for a class she is holding. Board member Tim Bender reported it will be a few months before a decision is received from the Federal Communications Commission on whether the agency will permit a boosting of the local pag-

ing frequency signal. Burdiss reported that Boy Scout Eric Jackson said his Eagle Scout project was delayed following a fire at his family’s home, but he still plans to do the work at the EMA building. The board also heard Burdiss report that the phone system contract ends March 23, 2014. The cost is approximately $18,220 per year and there is no grant funding for the system. The agency will have to research other phone systems and ways to pay for the contract.

HOROSCOPE

BY FRANCIS DRAKE What kind of day will tomorrow be? To find out what the stars say, read the forecast given for your birth sign. For Monday, April 1, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) This is an extremely feel-good day; nevertheless, it’s playful. It’s not a day for important decisions or serious work. Just kick up your heels and have fun! TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) You might call this a Mother Teresa day, because you truly want to do good. You want to help those who are less fortunate, which is a noble and fine thing indeed. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Enjoy increased popularity today. Groups, classes and gatherings of all sizes will be enthusiastic and fun choices for you. Accept all invitations. Don’t hide at home. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You easily impress bosses, parents, teachers and people in power today. (Think of it as flattering lighting from the universe.) Make the most of this! LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) This is a creative day for those working in publishing, the media, higher education and travel industries. However, it’s a poor day for serious, grounded decisions. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) If you have to divide or share something today, make sure you are being realistic. Your idealism could make you get carried away. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) This is a great day to schmooze with friends and partners. It’s also a great day to mingle with members of

the general public. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) New ideas that can improve your health might prove to be encouraging today. Others might be involved in work-related travel or dealing with other countries and cultures. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Because your creative juices are flowing today, do something that allows you to express your creativity. Be a kid again. Enjoy sports, playful activities with children, the arts and saucy flirtations. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Meetings at home especially to teach or share information will be a positive experience today. Do whatever you can to improve family relationships or your home scene. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Because your imagination is in overdrive, this is a great day for writers. It’s also a great day for all of you, because you’re full of wonderful ideas and keen to share them with others. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) In one way, this is a good day for business and commerce, because you’re thinking up great ideas. However, don’t put them into action today. Wait until tomorrow. (You’ll be glad you did.) YOU BORN TODAY You are hardworking and highly disciplined, which is why you master your craft. You’re also sincere about pursuing your goals. You’re a perfectionist about what you do, and you are often self-educated. You are driven to succeed. In the year ahead, a major change might take place, perhaps something as significant as whatever occurred around 2004. Stay flexible. Birthdate of: Rachel Maddow, political analyst; Samuel R. Delany, author; Debbie Reynolds, actress.

Tax day is looming, your basketball bracket is busted, and the spring break getaway you’re dreaming of could break the bank. Community Blood Center (CBC) reminds you to take a breath, take your time, and keep on helping others with the “Keep Calm and Carry On Saving Lives” campaign. The charcoal gray “Blood Donor – Keep Calm and Carry On – Saving Lives” T-shirt is free to everyone who registers to donate at any CBC branch and most CBC mobile blood drives now through April 6. Credit the Brits and their stiff upper lips for the T-shirt message. The British government created the original “Keep Calm and Carry On” poster in 1939 to boost morale during the beginning of the Second World War. The poster had only limited distribution and no public display. Since being rediscovered in 2000,

the popularity of the motivational message has soared. The T-shirt design includes the iconic Tudor crown and the classic lettering associated with the British Ministry of Information. CBC encourages donors to “carry on” by boosting the blood supply during the challenging Easter holiday period. High schools will close for spring break, many workers will take spring vacations, and families will be traveling — all leading to disruptions in blood drive schedules and donations. CBC reminds donors to schedule an appoint-

ment to give blood and support patients in need when you are able. Tuesday, the Community Blood Center will be in Jackson Center for a public blood drive at the American Legion from 12:30 to 6 p.m. The Jackson Center American Legion is located at 627 E. College St. The Ladies of Grace Lutheran Church are sponsoring this blood drive, with Nancy McName serving as chairwoman. Wednesday, Fort Loramie High School will host a student blood drive from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Fort Loramie High School Family, Career and Community Leaders of America is sponsoring the blood drive. Students can sign up for an appointment with the FCCLA adviser. Friday, Indian Lake High School will host a student blood drive from 8 a.m. to noon. The Indian Lake National Honor Society is hosting the student blood drive, Students can sign up with the NHS adviser.

suggested by the choreographer, whose partner is deaf. At an early age, my mom bought me the Easy Piano Mary Poppins music book as I plunked out songs on my grandparents’ organ with one or two fingers (having never taken piano lessons). One of my favorite songs is “Feed the Birds,” which was sung by Mary with the children in the movie, but is now sung as a duet with Mary and the Birdwoman. “Let’s Go Fly a Kite” was sung in the finale of the movie by the whole family, and now, on stage, is sung by Bert, the chimney sweep, and the Banks children near the beginning of Act 2. On stage, Mary still flies, although not as much as Spiderman. She also slides up the banister and restores order to the chaos of the angry toys with a wave of her hand. In a review in the New York Times, it was noted the London version had a “predominant palette of gray. However, the show’s producers seem to have figured out that gray is not the fa-

vorite color of Americans. So cake-frosting pinks, green, lilacs, and yellows have, for the most part, pushed away sootier tones.” The stage version has a couple of new songs and it is my impression that various aspects of the movie characters have been slightly changed. There are no dancing penguins on stage, only dancing statues, and the liveliest dancing number is “Step in Time,” done by the chimney sweeps on the rooftops of London. “Mary Poppins” received a Tony award in 2006 for best scenic design; but has been scaled down a bit for the national tour. Christi Thomas, of Sidney, fell in love with the stage after seeing her first Kenley Players production in Dayton at the age of 7. She has been associated with Sock & Buskin Players of Sidney since 1980 as an actor, director, producer, music director and more. She has received awards from Ohio Community Theater Association (OCTA) as a singer and lighting designer. She has been associated with OCTA since 1993.

After the wedding, Paul left for the Army, where he served in Germany and Belgium in the 371st Field Artillery Battalion as a machine gun operator during World War II. Following the war, Paul did some farming and worked for Peerless. He served as custodian at the Houston School form 1954 to 1966 and then worked for the Shelby County Garage, Shelby Memory Gardens, the Houston Elevator and Michael’s Mowers. Glenna worked at Lear while Paul was in the Army and then ran a

The Sidney-Shelby C o u n t y Health Department will observe National Public Health Week (NPHW) from Monday through Sunday. Sidney-Shelby County Health Department Health Commissioner Steven Tostrick said, ”We all have a role in supporting the public health system and in putting prevention to work in our lives.” Since 1995, when the first full week of April was declared National Public Health Week, communities across the United States have observed NPHW as a time to recognize the contributions of public health and highlight issues that are important to improving our nation. Each year, NPHW focuses its effort on a dif-

ferent theme, and this year’s theme is “Public Health is ROI: Save Lives, Save Money.” The 2013 NPHW theme was developed to highlight the value of prevention and the importance of well-supported public health systems in preventing disease, saving lives and curbing health care spending. “This year, we hope you’ll join us in championing the work of public health and its significant return on investment (ROI),” Tostrick said. Beginning Monday, the Sidney Daily News will publish daily an article provided by the health department to commemorate NPHW.

Because only a single game remained at this writing between Fritz Gross’ amazing Tigers and the state throne itself after the Shelby countians fought off York Local’s Panthers in a 44-40 semifinal highlight of the State A Tournament in St. John’s spacious Arena on Friday afternoon.

25 years ago March 30, 1988 Lehman rolled to a 17-4 verdict over the Bethel Bees. Robbie Wertz was the key for Lehman, getting two hits, driving in four runs and getting the win on the mound.

10 years ago March 30, 2003 Minster ran away with the Lady Tiger Classique at Versailles Saturday. Brittany Winner starred for the Lady Wildcats, winning three events.

All those idiots on Twitter, which I would never ever do, all you people at home who’ve got no life and are talking bad about Doug Gottlieb, get a life. It’s over with. It’s no big deal.” —CBS’ outspoken analyst Charles Barkley, after Gottlieb said he was there to “give kinda the white man’s perspective” on the NCAA mens basketball tournament.

ON THIS DATE IN 1940 — Indiana routs Kansas 60-42 for the NCAA basketball championship. 1995 — Maine beats Michigan 4-3 in triple overtime, the longest hockey game in NCAA tournament history, to advance to the NCAA title game. 2001 — Michael Phelps becomes the youngest American swimmer to set a world record, winning the 200-meter butterfly in the USA Swimming Championships in 1 minute, 54.92 seconds. Phelps, 15, breaks the record of 1:55.18 set by Olympic gold medalist Tom Malchow in June.

Reds eye deep playoff run Lineup returns nearly intact CINCINNATI (AP) — Same starting five in the rotation. Same back end of the bullpen. Same starting lineup, except for one spot. On the surface, not much has changed with the Cincinnati Reds, and that’s exactly how they wanted it. The NL Central division champions have brought their team back virtually intact for another run at their elusive goal. Another division title is only an initial goal for a team that won 97 games last season. They’re looking way beyond that first champagne celebration. Instead, they’ve got their eye on late October. “I want to get to the next round of the playoffs,” second baseman Brandon Phillips said. “I want to start there. Of course the goal every year is to win the ring, but I feel like you’ve got to take steps.” The Reds have taken huge steps in the last five years, reconfiguring themselves from perennial also-ran to consistent playoff contender. They went nine years without so much as a winning record, and 15 years between playoff appearances before winning the division as an up-andcoming team in 2010. They got swept in the playoffs by the Phillies that season, then slipped the following year under a lot of injuries. They were back on top last

CINCINNATI REDS’ Joey Votto, right, is greeted by Ryan Ludwick after Votto’s solo home run off Texas Rangers starting pitcher Yu Darvish in the first inning of an exhibition spring training baseball game Saturday in Goodyear, Ariz. season with a team built for long-term success, but fell in the first round of the playoffs again, this time to the Giants in five games. Everything about the offseason has gone into giving them a better chance to not only reach the playoffs, but to keep going. “We’re a team that’s built for now,” general manager Walk Jocketty said. “We’re built to win now.” They think some modest lineup tweaking could make them a bit better. One of their biggest weaknesses for years has been the lack of a leadoff hitter, which forced manager Dusty Baker

to use Phillips and others in the top spot. They got ShinSoo Choo from the Indians to replace Drew Stubbs, who struck out too much to be effective. Choo could be a shortterm fix, with Billy Hamilton — who set a minor league record with 155 steals last season — playing center field and batting leadoff for TripleA Louisville this season. The other change is at third base, where Todd Frazier gets the job full-time for Scott Rolen, who decided not to return for another season. Frazier filled in at third base and at first base when Rolen and Joey Votto were hurt, and ended up third in NL Rookie of the Year voting

after batting .273 with 19 homers and 67 RBIs. Cincinnati thinks the offense will be even better with a healthy Votto around from the start of the season. The former NL MVP tore cartilage in his left knee while sliding into base on June 29 and needed two operations. Votto was gone for 48 games and wasn’t himself when he returned, reduced to hitting singles the rest of the season because of the weak knee. During spring training, he hit his first homers since June 24, an indication his knee is fully healed. See REDS/Page 2B

Final Four trip on the line Bucks take on ninth seed Wichita State in West finals tonight LOS ANGELES (AP) — During Ohio State’s journey to the Final Four last season, Aaron Craft learned the importance of focusing on the next 40 minutes, not the three-week trip. So Craft didn’t realize the highest seeds in the West Regional were dropping like dominoes until earlier this week. He purposely didn’t learn much about ninthseeded Wichita State until Thursday night, when the powerful Buckeyes found out they’re facing the unheralded Shockers on Saturday for another ticket to the Final Four. “I think that really helped a lot — just getting caught up in the moment and thinking about where you are and what you need to do to get out,” Ohio State’s star point guard said. “We watch all the games. Obviously we’re basketball fans, but I kept saying, ‘Where is this team? Which bracket is this in? What is that?’ It wasn’t until after we played Iowa State that I realized our bracket was being destroyed number-wise, and really realizing how tough every team was.” Craft’s point is a theme echoed on both sides of Staples Center on Friday during workouts for the final game in a regional that emphasized the parity throughout college basketball when six of the top eight seeds lost on the first weekend. Anybody who tries to paint this matchup as David facing down Goliath will get polite disagreement from the supposed big guy and the alleged little guy alike. That’s just not how college basketball works anymore, according to both Craft and Wichita State coach Gregg Marshall. Neither team has any doubt Wichita State (29-

Ohio State plays Wichita State in the West Regional final of the NCAA men's college basketball tournament Saturday. 8) belongs on the same court with the mighty Buckeyes (29-7) for a chance to go to Atlanta. “We have to go out there and play our hearts out,” Wichita State’s Cleanthony Early said. “So regardless if their facilities are a little bit bigger than ours, they’ve got to lace up their shoes just like us.” Sure, the Shockers can’t match Ohio State’s financial resources or alumni base. They’ve got everything else necessary to play with the Buckeyes for those 40 minutes — and even pull off one more surprise in their charmed run through March. “What I love is the fact they’re not really bouncing off the wall,” Marshall said of his

Shockers. “They seem to be legitimately unsatisfied thus far. We know we’ve got a great opponent and a tremendous challenge, but at the same time, we’re in that Elite Eight game. We have an opportunity, and our best is going to be hard to beat.” Wichita State is making its first regional finals appearance since 1981, looking for a spot in its first Final Four since the school’s only previous trip in 1965. The Shockers’ 29 victories match the school record set just two years ago under Marshall, the low-profile, high-energy coach who spent part of Friday fending off questions about UCLA’s job vacancy from eager Los Angeles reporters. And Wichita State is still

burning with confidence from beating top-ranked and topseeded Gonzaga last weekend — not bad for a team that didn’t win the Missouri Valley Conference tournament, but could get the MVC to the Final Four for the first time. “So many non-BCS schools are getting the opportunity to be in the NCAA tournament and prove that they belong — not only belong, but can win the whole thing,” Marshall said. “It’s almost a self-fulfilling prophecy. The programs then start selling out, raising revenue for the athletic department, and ultimately giving greater visibility to their universities, and what is that worth?” See BUCKS/Page 3B

REDS Votto’s first significant injury has given him a different outlook. “People’s injuries resonate with me more because of my experience,” he said. “It probably made me a better teammate.” The Reds got through last season with all five starters healthy and were the only team in the majors that used as few as six starters — they had to call one up for a doubleheader. The streak of good luck ended when Johnny Cueto pulled muscles in his side during the first inning of the opening playoff game in San Francisco, leaving Cincinnati’s pitching plans in flux for the rest of the series. Cueto, Mat Latos, Bronson Arroyo, Homer Bailey and Mike Leake each made 30 starts last season. Bailey in particular showed improvement, throwing a no-hitter in Pittsburgh. All are back and healthy. The Reds’ biggest decision in spring training involved the closer’s spot. The Reds got hardthrowing Aroldis Chapman ready to make a long-awaited transition to the rotation, with

Sidney Daily News, Saturday, March 30, 2013

From Page 1B Jonathan Broxton available to finish off games, but the left-hander expressed a preference to keep closing. Chapman had 38 saves after moving into the role in May, converting a club-record 27 in a row even though he’d never been a closer. He’ll have a better feel for the role this season. “I have a lot of years ahead,” Chapman said. “I’m happy to be the closer now.” Baker got a two-year contract extension after missing the Reds’ division championship celebration last year because he was hospitalized for treatment of an irregular heartbeat and a mini-stroke. The 63year-old manager feels fine and shares the big expectations for this season and beyond. “I talked to the owners,” Baker said. “They asked a lot of questions and made statements. They’re enthusiastic about our progress. “We’ve come a long way in a short period of time, over three years. It’s about being able to sustain high excellence.” And it’s about taking that next step deeper into the playoffs

He crossed the line in 30 minutes, 33.74 seconds to eclipse the NCAA provisional mark by nearly 18 seconds. He posted the second-fastest time in the country while running the distance for the first time in his college career. Dinzeo earned AllAmerica honors during the indoor track season by placing seventh in the 5,000 meters at the NCAA Championships on March 8. He ran in the 5,000 meters last night in the Raleigh Relays in Releigh, N.C. David Freytag, Lehman Freytag is playing tennis at Franciscan University and doing well.

Jon Lowe, Sidney Lowe is playing baseball at Sinclair Community College and had an outstanding week.

Against rival Owens Community College, Lowe went 8-for-15 (.533). Then in a win over Ohio State Newark, he went 4-for-7 with a triple and two singles. After 20 games, Lowe is hitting .391 with 20 RBIs and 18 runs scored.

On the season, he has worked 191/3 innings and has a 4.66 earned run average. But in one earlier outing he gave up seven earned runs in 31/3 innings. Without that game figured in, he has a 1.68 ERA in the rest of his work.

Top-seeded Louisville gets past Oregon 77-69 INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Russ Smith matched his career high with 31 points to lead three Cardinals in double figures, and top-seeded Louisville overcame its toughest test yet in a 7769 victory over Oregon

on Friday night. Kevin Ware added 11 and Gorgui Dieng had 10 points and nine rebounds for Louisville, which has won 13 straight. Coach Rick Pitino improved to 11-0 in the regional semifi-

close to 70-64 — the closest anyone's been to the Cardinals in a couple of weeks. But Kevin Ware scored on a layup and Chane Behanan threw down a monstrous dunk to put the game out of reach.

the Buckeyes think they know what to expect. Wichita State will try to force a speedy tempo on Ohio State, using its pressing defense and stellar rebounding to push the Buckeyes into uncomfortable situations. The Shockers are big and tough under the basket, but could struggle to keep up when the Buckeyes use an undersized lineup. “What we have to do is, don’t let their angriness affect us,” Thomas said. “Don’t play into their hands. Don’t let them speed us up, because that’s what they’re going to try to do. We know they’re going to come out aggressive, pressing, and try to do anything to make us throw the ball away.” Ohio State has a good idea of the value of this run. With 11 consecutive victories since Feb. 17, Ohio State is on the brink of its 11th Final Four appearance. The second-seeded Buckeyes are a win away from matching last season’s accomplishments despite losing Jared Sullinger to the NBA.

What’s more, leading scorer Deshaun Thomas thinks the Buckeyes’ current run has been easier than last year’s March surge, suggesting Ohio State still has much more to show. “We’re playing at a higher level now,” Thomas said. “Last year was tougher, going through Gonzaga, Syracuse and Cincinnati. Those were some great teams. This year, we’re on a roll right now. Once Gonzaga and a couple of higher teams on our side got put out, it opened doors for us. But you can’t take these teams like Wichita State lightly. We know it’s going to be tough. Gonzaga losing kind of helped us, but we’re still going to treat these teams like Gonzaga.” Craft believes Ohio State has more momentum than last season, including those last two victories on dramatic, tiebreaking 3-pointers by Craft against Iowa State last weekend and LaQuinton Ross against Arizona on Thursday night. Although Ohio State and Wichita State haven’t met since 1963,

is a big part of our organization and is committed to our sponsors, especially Aaron’s and Toyota. We have a lot of goals yet to reach this year and we are very focused on accomplishing them.” It’s believed a deal between the teams to swap Martin for Vickers in the Sprint Cup Series races had been completed, but JGR prematurely announced it before MWR sponsor Aaron’s had given its approval. No reason has been given why Aaron’s didn’t approve the swap. MWR has been eyeing Vickers as a potential replacement for Martin in the No. 55 Toyota, and Vickers is scheduled to run nine races for Martin this year. Because Vickers is seen as an option for that ride, MWR was in favor of loaning Martin to the Gibbs camp to get an extended look at Vickers in its equipment. Instead, JGR must now put together a Plan B. The team made no immediate announcement as to who will drive for Hamlin beyond Martinsville, but JGR President J.D. Gibbs said Thursday the organization preferred just one driver for consistency sake. Vickers had the commitment to MWR for the first race, and Elliott Sadler, the second driver in JGR’s Nationwide Series camp, already has commitments to drive the Cup races at Kansas and Talladega in a fourth car for JGR.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — A deal to loan Mark Martin to Joe Gibbs Racing as a replacement driver for injured D e n n y Hamlin fell apart FriMartin day, when Michael Waltrip Racing said Martin will fulfill his commitment to their team. The announcement from MWR came roughly 24 hours after JGR said Martin will take over the No. 11 Toyota next weekend at Martinsville and drive the car until Hamlin returns from a fractured vertebra in his lower back. Hamlin is expected to miss at least five races. It means Martin can now only drive Hamlin’s car at Martinsville, a track not on his schedule. Brian Vickers, who drives for JGR in the Nationwide Series, was scheduled to drive Martin’s car for MWR at Martinsville. MWR said Martin will return to his regular car after Martinsville and “resume his previously scheduled run of events with MWR” for the rest of the season. “I think it is great that a driver of Mark’s caliber is available to support our fellow Toyota team during this difficult time for them. We wish Denny a speedy recovery” said MWR founder and co-owner Michael Waltrip. “Mark

ROACH: I am 67 years old, and the iron in my blood is 500. I am told 300 is normal. The doctor said that giving blood at the blood bank will lower it, perhaps every eight weeks. I also was told by my doctor it could damage my organs, such as my heart. How treatable is my condition? I am worried. — A.M. ANSWER: It sounds

like you are being diagnosed with primary hemochromatosis. This is a genetic condition in which the body constantly absorbs too much iron. Iron overload damages the heart and the liver, among other organs. There can be a lot of variability in the disease. If you do have hemochromatosis, your family members — siblings, children — should be tested as well. The first step is to be sure of the diagnosis. Other iron studies from the blood support it, and there is a genetic test as well. Bone marrow biopsy still is occasionally done to be sure. Treatment is also straightforward — you are right that giving blood removes the iron from the system, but at the beginning it may need to be much, much more frequent than every eight weeks.

Clearly, she is not calling to see how you’re doing; she is calling to dump. There are times when you must protect yourself, and this is one of them.

Minster student is state semifinalist Competes in National Geographic Bee MINSTER — For the second year in a row, a Minster student will be competing in the Ohio National Geographic Bee as a semifinalist. Chalk Nicklaus Chalk, son of Kevin and Lisa Chalk, of Minster, has qualified for the geographic bee, which will be held at Grandview Heights High School on April 5. This is the second consecutive year Nick will be competing at the state level of the bee. He is an eighth-grade student at Minster Junior High School. The state bee is sponsored by Google and

Plum Creek. This is the 25th anniversary of the bee. Bees were held in schools with fourththrough eighth-grade students throughout the state to determine each school’s bee winner. School-level winners then took a qualifying test, which they submitted to the National Geographic Society. In each of the 50 states, as well as the District of Columbia, the Department of Dependents Defense Schools and the U.S. territories, the National Geographic society invited the students with the top 100 scores to compete at the state level. The state winner will receive $100, the “Complete National Geographic on DVD” and a trip to Washington, D.C., where the winner will

represent Ohio in the national finals at National Geographic Society headquarters May 20-22. The first place national winner will receive a $25,000 college scholarship and lifetime membership in the society. The national winner will also travel, along with one parent or guardian, all expenses paid, to the Galapagos Islands. The winner will experience geography firsthand through up-close encounters with the wildlife and landscape of Galapagos. Travel for the trip is provided by Lindblad Expeditions and National Geographic. National Geographic channel and Nat Geo Wild will air the final round of the 2013 National Geographic Bee, moderated by Alex Trebek, on May 23.

National Doctors’ Day is held every March 30. According to DoctorsDay.org, "It is a day to celebrate the contribution of physicians who serve our country by caring for its' citizens." The first Doctor's Day was observed on March 30, 1933 in Winder, Georgia, when Eudora Brown Almond - wife of Dr. Charles B. Almond - decided to set a day aside to honor physicians. In 1990, the House and Senate officially declared March 30 "National Doctor's Day." Traditionally, people celebrate the day by going out of their way to thank their doctors, mail greeting cards, and sending flowers. The red carnation is commonly associated with the National Doctor's Day.

National Doctor’s Day March 30 For their skills, commitment and compassion, we make a special effort to honor our physicians on Doctors’ Day. Through every stage of life, from prenatal to geriattric care, we rely on these dedicaed men and women to meet our healthcare needs. Their service greatly enhances the quality of life in our own community and around the world. In appreciation of their tireless efforts to help humanity, these area businesses pay tribute to doctors everywhere.

A challenging road ahead By Tresa Erickson You probably have a couple of physicians that you visit annually for checkups and more often when needed. If you're lucky, you spend more time watching doctors on television than you do sitting in their offices. At first glance, practicing medicine may seem glamorous. While there is prestige and money involved in the profession, there are also long hours and sometimes difficult cases. The path to becoming a doctor is even more arduous. Obtaining a medical degree requires an enormous amount of study and education. Most students start by enrolling in a pre-med program at a college or university, and upon nearing completion of their bachelor's degree, take the Medical College Admission Test (M.C.A.T.) and apply to medical school. If accepted, they spend four years there studying various aspects of the field of medicine. The first year usually consists of basic science courses, like anatomy and physiology, while the second year consists of courses focused specifically on the

diagnosis and treatment of diseases. At the end of their second year of medical school, students must take the first part of the U.S. Medical Licensing Examination and demonstrate knowledge of basic medical sciences. If they pass, they can proceed with their studies. In the third year of medical school, students start their rotations through the specialties of medicine, like surgery and radiology. In the fourth year, they continue with rotations, but are given more responsibilities and must complete electives. At the end of that year, they must take the second part of the Medical Licensing Examination and demonstrate their ability to apply their medical knowledge to patient cases and provide patient care under supervision. Upon completion of medical school, students start their residency. Generally a residency consists of three or more years of training in a specialty the student has chosen. The specific length of the program varies from specialty to specialty. While a residency in neurology usually takes three years, a

residency in radiology takes four to five years and a residency in internal medicine takes three years plus two to three years in a subspecialty like geriatrics. The first year of residency is known as an internship. During this time, students rotate through different specialties or areas within a specialty. They spend the remainder of their residency training in their specialty. After their residency, students may do more training through a fellowship program. Upon completion of their residency or fellowship, students can finally obtain a medical license. The rules for getting a medical license vary by state. Four years of college, four years of medical school, three or more years of residency and sometimes a fellowshipthat's what it takes to become a doctor. It is a path that only the strong survive. The next time you're waiting to see your physician, consider the measures they have taken to get where they are. Sure, they may make great money, but they sure went through a lot to get there.

New treatment for patients with Coronary Artery disease (StatePoint) Whether you are at-risk for developing a heart condition or you’re one of the 13 million Americans who suffer from coronary artery disease, arming yourself with the facts you need to stay healthy can help. Learn about coronary artery disease, its symptoms and about the latest developments in treatment. Coronary Artery Disease Coronary artery disease is caused when plaque buildup creates blockages or narrowings in the arteries. The blockages restrict blood flow and reduce the amount of oxygen delivered to the heart, potentially putting a person at risk for a heart attack. Common symptoms of coronary artery disease include chest pain, shortness of breath, fatigue and overall weakness. Simple lifestyle changes can help prevent and manage coronary artery disease. These include managing obesity and high blood pressure, living an active lifestyle, making healthy dietary choices and stopping smoking. Improved Treatments

Parking in Rear

Staying on top of the latest medical advances helps ensure you and loved ones secure the best treatment available. One advancement in treatment is supported by new results from the FAME 2 Study funded by St. Jude Medical and published in the New England Journal of Medicine. The study found that use of a blood-flow measurement technology, called Fractional Flow Reserve (FFR) during treatment of stable coronary artery disease will result in better health outcomes. FFR technology offers physicians a better assessment of where blood flow blockages occur in the coronary arteries and whether treatment to open an artery narrowing, along with medication, can help lower a patient’s risk of chest pain and heart attack.

gent care, to a reduction in health care costs, FAME 2 research demonstrates that patients who receive FFRguided treatment experienced better outcomes than those treated with medication alone. “The FAME 2 Study results offer further evidence that FFR should be considered the standard of care for treating patients with coronary heart disease,” said Frank J. Callaghan, president of the Cardiovascular and Ablation Technologies Division at St. Jude Medical. If you believe you have coronary artery disease, consult your physician for additional information and to determine best treatment options. More information on FFR is available at: www.sjm.com/ffr-factsheet. 2377899

Awareness is key to diagnosing rare diseases (StatePoint) Nearly 30 million Americans -- or one in 10 -- are currently affected by a rare disease. Many of these patients are now starting to speak out about the unique challenges they face daily. “Rare disease patients worldwide face many similar challenges, but because their conditions are so rare, they often feel alone and isolated,” said Peter L. Saltonstall, President and CEO of the National Organization for Rare Disorders. “By standing together and sharing our experiences with rare diseases, we can more effectively address these challenges and build a better world for rare disease patients.” In the United States, a disease is considered rare if it affects fewer than 200,000 people. Because of the rarity of their conditions, patients may often be challenged to find information, support, and knowledgeable doctors. Furthermore, it often takes five years or longer to receive an accurate diagnosis of a rare disease. According to the National Institutes of Health, there are about 7000 identified rare diseases, 80 percent of which are genetic. One such rare disease is Cryopyrin-Associated Periodic Syndromes (CAPS) -- a serious, lifelong autoinflammatory disease affecting about one in one million people in the United States. Because there are so few CAPS patients, online resources play an important role in uniting the community. CAPSConnectsUs.com, a new educational Web site from Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corporation, enables CAPS patients in the United States to connect online to share their stories, encouragement, and advice about managing daily challenges. Dave Crawford of Dallas knows firsthand the importance of sharing his story with others. He was diagnosed with CAPS in 2010 after suffering from the painful, mysterious symptoms since childhood.

Far beyond the white-coated glamour of TV’s primetime medical shows, the real nitty gritty of being a primary care doctor means dealing with pain and suffering, financial pressure, and the downright messiness of the human body. By presidential proclamation, March 30 is National Doctor’s Day, and in honor of the occasion, here are some observations from doctors and some ways to work together with them for better patient care. According to a Consumers Reports survey of 660 primary care physicians, the biggest obstacle to patient care is inconsistency. When patients jump from doctor to doctor, their case histories don’t always follow them and the trail and connectivity of symptoms is lost. Doctors said fostering a long-term relationship between them and their patients would greatly improve their ability to provide excellent care. Sixty percent of those surveyed reported that being respectful and courteous to doctors would likely lead to more reciprocity in that department. Calling your doctor by their title and last name and allowing them to address you by yours is a good start. Being prepared for an appointment is helpful too: bring a list of symptoms, medications, and questions to ask. In the context of providing the best care possible, other pet peeves that doctors expressed were patients not taking medications as directed, patients bringing in their own indiscriminate online research, and the burden of insurance paperwork. The next time you see your doctor, keep a few of these things in mind and you might see better results!

CAUTION

2370535

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.
