It’s a snowy new year for county

BY TOM BARNETT tbarnett@sdnccg.com City, county and Ohio Department of Transportation crews easily handled 2012’s first accumulating snow Monday and Tuesday as the unusually mild winter turned cold and blustery with a vengeance over the holiday weekend.

Less than an inch of the white stuff fell, but road crews manned their trucks, laying down salt to keep roadways, bridges and steep hills free of any ice.

Riverside Schools, High Point Career Center and Indian Lake Schools, all in Logan County, operated on delayed schedules Tuesday.

Shelby County Engineer Bob Guey said county road crews salted all routes Monday and Tuesday, “with very little plowing necessary.”

Sidney Street Supt. Marty Keifer said city crews completed their first salting event of the winter Monday, hitting streets at 8 a.m. Eight trucks returned at 4 a.m. Tuesday to handle icing issues and any drifting from windblown flurries.

Ohio Department of Transportation crews were also busy salting roadways again Tuesday, their efforts focused on InFor photo reprints, visit www.sidneydailynews.com SDN Photo/Luke Gronneberg terstate 75 and its major access BRIAN ADAMS sleds down a hill at the Moose Golf Course highways. Ten crews operated with his younger sister, Claire Adams, 6, both of Sidney, Tues- during daytime hours and nine day. They are the children of John and Tara Adams. crews worked overnight.

Salt trucks were expected to remain on call today as light snow (10 percent chance) was expected throughout the day accompanied by a southwest wind.

A check of Sidney Police, the Shelby County Sheriff ’s office and Piqua Post of the Ohio Highway Patrol showed no major accidents in the county, only the usual slide offs on rural roads not yet treated.

The virtually snow-free month of December has resulted in significant savings in road care expenses for all area agencies, including salt and diesel fuel.

City Superintendent Keifer figured Tuesday the city of Sidney has saved between $12,000 and $15,000 on the 225 tons of road salt it normally would have used during November and December.

And while he said he has yet to crunch the numbers, Guey shared the fact county road crews ran every day in the month of December 2010.

Mandi Abner, Ohio Department of Transportation Information officer, shared snow and ice cost figures for the months of November and December showing total snow and ice removal costs of just $46,884 in 2011, compared to $211,681 in 2010. Material costs last year were $10,875 compared to $91,764 in 2010.

From Page 1 stating the judge’s admonishments to avoid reading or viewing anything about the ongoing trial had been disobeyed and had influenced their decision to find Seitz guilty.

Seitz was first arrested following a Dec. 16, 2010 incident in which he is alleged to have abducted and assaulted a 27-year-old woman, at an apartment in Sidney, and to have taken her against her will to Piqua. Seitz was a former co-owner of the former Broade Street Grille. The woman was an employee of the restaurant.

Lillian Yvonne ‘Bonnie’ Sims L i l l i a n Yvonne “Bonnie” Sims, was born on Oct. 13, 1924, one of 12 children in Morning View, Ky., to the late James Alfred and Alice (Mills) Cummins. Our beloved Christian mother, grandmother, g r e a t - g r a n d m o t h e r, faithful family member and friend of many entered into eternal rest on Jan. 1, 2012.

On Aug. 11, 1943. she was joined in holy matrimony to Robert Sims Sr. with whom she spent many loving and happy years, and from this union they were blessed with five children: Ruth Mae, Robert, Jamie, Alice and Karen.

Bonnie was a loyal and dedicated follower of Jesus Christ! She was a member of Mount Vernon Baptist Church in Sidney for many years.

She later joined Only Believe Ministries in Botkins where Pastor Peter Doseck is in leadership. She retired from Stolle Corp.

Bonnie leaves a legacy of the value of wisdom and most importantly she taught us to believe in God. She was a mother of prayer with a firm spiritual foundation. She understood the seasons and values of life. She was also a great mix of tenderness and iron-hard strength. This incredible gift from our mother (87 years old) offers tribute to the wise lessons she passed on to us.

JORDAN Other candidates for the seat are Chris Kalla, a Libertarian Party member from Lima, running as a write-in candidate and James N. Stone, of Elyria, who filed as a Democrat.

Jordan, Slone and Kalla are the only three candidates to represent the district. They will all move on to the November general election ballot to represent the newly-shaped 4th Congressional District, which now stretches across all or part of 13 counties.

The gerrymandered 4th District takes in all of Allen, Auglaize, Shelby, Logan, Champaign, Union, Marion, Crawford and Senaca counties and parts of Mercer, Sandusky, Huron, Erie and Lorain counties.

The previous 4th District included 11 counties: Allen, Auglaize, Shelby, Champaign, Logan, Hardin, Hancock, Wyandot, Marion, Morrow and Richland.

Even though redistricting divides Lorain County into three congressional districts, it’s now the most populous

She was a remarkable person, a handcrafted addition to God’s awesome creation. She will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved her.

From Page 1 county in the 4th District, making it the county where candidates for Congress must file. In the district’s previous form, candidates filed in Richland County.

The changes came about two weeks ago when Gov. John Kasich signed a GOP-driven redistricting bill into law.

Besides redrawing 18 congressional districts into 16, the measure combined the separate Democratic and Republican primaries in March and June into one primary on March 6.

A previous filing deadline of Dec. 7 was declared null and void, requiring candidates for congressional and presidential primaries to refile by Friday.

Ohio lost two congressional seats as a result of declining population figures in the 2010 census. The contraction set the stage for three incumbent face-offs, one of which evaporated Friday when second-term Rep. Steve Austria, RBeavercreek, announced he would not challenge Rep. Mike Turner for the 10th Congressional District.

No charges filed yet in fatal bus accident deputies for a stop sign violation at the intersection.

According to reports, Nagel did not see the truck approaching the intersection when she entered it and struck the vehicle traveling west on Fort Loramie Swanders Road driven by Roger R. Heitkamp, 65, of Fort Loramie. Both vehicles

went off the roadway and came to rest in a field on the northwest corner of the intersection.

Heitkamp was taken

by CareFlight to Miami Valley Hospital with serious injuries. He died on Nov. 25 at Miami Valley Hospital. The Sheriff’s Office is still waiting on the coroner’s report before any charges are con-

sidered in the case.

Anna Superintendent Andy Bixler said following the accident that Nagel was a veteran school bus driver with more than 20 years of experience and was known for being “caring, cautious and conservative.” The nine children on board the bus at the time of the crash were not injured.

Many events planned for Doolittle Raiders reunion DAYTON — The public will have an opportunity to celebrate the Doolittle Tokyo Raiders as the World War II aviation heroes commemorate the 70th anniversary of the raid on Japan during their reunion April 17-20 at the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force.

On April 18, 1942, 80 men achieved the unimaginable when they took off from an aircraft carrier on a top-secret mission to bomb Japan.

These men, led by Lt. Col. James H. “Jimmy” Doolittle, came to be known as the Doolittle Tokyo Raiders.

At this time, all five of the living Doolittle Tokyo Raiders — Lt. Col. Richard E. Cole, Lt. Col. Robert L. Hite, Lt. Col. Edward J. Saylor, Maj. Thomas C. Griffin and Master Sgt. David J. Thatcher — are able to travel and plan to be on hand for the reunion events.

As a special tribute to the

Grand Health Challenge to kick off Monday ST. MARYS — The 2012 Grand Health Challenge and Grand Health Family Challenge will kick off Monday with nationally known speaker Joe Piscatella.

The public is invited to participate.

Piscatella will speak at 7 p.m. at the new St. Marys Memorial High School auditorium, located at the corner of Ohio 66 and U.S. 33. Participants should park on the north side of the building.

Joe Piscatella is a nationally known speaker and author. He is one of the country’s most respected experts on how to live a healthier lifestyle in the real world, event organizers said. At age 32 he had a heart attack and two days later received a cardiac bypass surgery for a 95 percent blockage for treatment of aggressive coronary disease. He recently celebrated the 33rd anniversary of that surgery, making him one of the longest-

lived survivors of cardiac bypass. He is living proof that with motivation and the right information, living a balanced lifestyle for optimal health and performance is possible, organizers said. Information alone is not enough. Piscatella has the ability to put a human face on the science of healthy balanced living, organizers said. He uses his personal experience to make the information ring true for his audience.

Piscatella is the only nonmedical member who has served on the National Institute of Health Experts on Cardiac Rehabilitation and is a national spokesman on corporate wellness for the American Heart Association. He is a frequent guest on “The Today Show,” CNN, “Good Morning America” and Fox News.

He has also hosted three PBS television specials on lifestyle and health.

Raiders during the reunion, the Doolittle Tokyo Raiders Association Inc. is working to secure enough sponsorship funding to fly in and land 25 B-25 Mitchell bombers on the runway behind the museum. If their efforts are successful, this aviation event would be the largest gathering of B-25s since World War II. Those interested in helping to make this flight of B25 bombers possible should contact Tom Casey with the Doolittle Tokyo Raiders Association Inc. at (941) 9217361 or by email at tomcat911@comcast.net or Larry Kelley at (410) 9912356 or by email at b25driver@aol.com.

The National Museum of the United States Air Force is located on Springfield Street, six miles northeast of downtown Dayton. It is open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. seven days a week (closed Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s Day). Admission and parking are free.

NATION/WORLD BRIEFLY

Iran still defiant DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Iran closed out naval war games in the Gulf on Tuesday much the way they began last month: striking a tone of military defiance while Western powers rallied behind tougher oil and financial sanctions as a crippling tool against Tehran’s nuclear program.

The standoff atmosphere — less than a week after Iran warned it could block one of the world’s key oil tanker sea lanes in response to economic pressures — appeared to deepen further with an Iranian general suggesting a U.S. aircraft carrier is not welcome to return to the Gulf.

‘Emotional Traffic’ to be released Tenn.

NASHVILLE, (AP) — Tim McGraw’s latest studio album “Emotional Traffic,” which was at the crux of a recent court battle with his record label, is set to be released Jan. 24.

The album features 12 songs including the No. 1 single “Felt Good on My Lips.” McGraw said in a statement from Curb Records that the new album is one of his best he has ever made.

Curb Records had sued McGraw to prevent him from recording or signing with another label until he fulfilled what Curb believed was his obligation for a fifth album. Curb had argued that “Emotional Traffic” was recorded and completed too early. The label said it wanted McGraw’s newest songs.

Taliban to open office KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — The Taliban announced Tuesday that they will open an office in the Persian Gulf nation of Qatar to hold talks with the United States, an unprecedented step toward a peace process that might lead to a winding down of the 10-year war in Afghanistan.

Although U.S. and Taliban representatives have met secretly several times over the past year in Europe and the Persian Gulf, this is the first time the Islamist insurgent group has publicly expressed willingness for substantive negotiations.

In recent months, the idea of a Taliban political office in the Qatari capital of Doha has become a central element in U.S. efforts to draw the insurgents into such talks.

OUT OF THE BLUE

Mom-child reunited SAN CLEMENTE, Calif.

(AP) — For most of her 100 years, Minka Disbrow tried to find out what became of the precious baby girl she gave up for adoption after being raped as a teen.

On a summer day in 2006, she got her wish.

Disbrow’s then 77-yearold biological daughter Ruth Lee tracked her down to learn more about her family’s medical history after she suffered from heart problems.

Surprised to find her after so many years, Lee and her son Brian Lee traveled to Southern California to see Disbrow. The families have stayed in touch ever since.

Disbrow says it was like they had never parted.

It’s finally opening night for GOP race DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Texas Rep. Ron Paul, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum waged a tense, three-way struggle for supremacy in Iowa’s Republican presidential caucuses Tuesday night, opening the campaign to pick a challenger to President Barack Obama.

Returns from slightly more than a quarter of the state’s 1,774 precincts showed the three men separated by only a few dozen votes — even taking turns in first place as the evening wore on — in a fitting conclusion for a race as jumbled as any since Iowa gained the lead-off position in presidential campaigns four decades ago.

The winner was in line for bragging rights — and perhaps much more — as the Republican nominating campaign makes the turn to primaries in New Hampshire on Jan. 10, then South Carolina and Florida before the end of January. For some of the also-rans, history suggested the first event of the year might also be the last.

The economy and the federal budget deficit were top issues, judged more important than abortion or health care, according to a survey of early caucus-goers.

About a third of those sur-

Paul held a broad advantage among the nearly one in four who called the selection of a true conservative their top priority, and he also made a strong showing among younger and first-time caucus-goers.

Supporters of the tea party made up about two-thirds of

the electorate, and were nearly evenly split among Paul, Romney and Santorum.

The survey by Edison Media Research for The Associated Press and television networks was based on interviews with more than 700 people arriving at 40 precinct caucuses across the state.

Returns from 538 of 1,774 precincts showed Romney, Santorum and Paul each with

23 percent, separated by only 57 votes.

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich had 13 percent, followed by Texas Gov. Rick Perry, 10 percent, and Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann with 6 percent.

Obama was unopposed for the Democratic nomination.

Even so, his re-election campaign set up eight offices across Iowa, made hundreds of thousands of calls to voters and arranged a video conference with caucus night supporters.

“This time out is going to be in some ways more important than the first time,” the president told Democrats across the state. “Change is never easy.”

The Iowa caucuses’ outsized importance was underscored by the estimated $13 million in television advertising by the candidates and so-called super PACs as well as thousands of campaign stops designed to sway 100,000 or so voters.

Ironically, the weak economy that has made Obama appear vulnerable nationally was muted as an issue here. Despite areas of economic distress, the farm economy is strong. Iowa’s unemployment in November was 5.7 percent, sixth lowest in the country and well below the national reading of 8.6 percent.

Obama appeals to Iowa Democrats WASHINGTON (AP) — Inserting his voice into a big night for Republicans, President Barack Obama was appealing to Iowa Democrats during the first balloting in the GOP presidential campaign, seeking to counter months of withering criticism in the state that launched his presidential ambitions four years ago.

Obama was hosting a live video teleconference for Democrats attending precinct caucuses across Iowa, outlining his progress during the first term and asking for their help in the upcoming campaign. Beyond the lead-off caucuses, Iowa is expected to be hotly contested in the fall election.

The president’s re-election campaign emailed supporters a video of Obama’s Iowa victory speech in January 2008, arguing he has kept the promises he made that night: making health care more affordable, cutting

taxes for the middle class, ending the war in Iraq and reducing the nation’s dependence on foreign oil.

“A new chapter in the story of 2012 starts with what happens in Iowa tonight,” Mitch Stewart, a top Obama campaign aide, said in a separate email to supporters. “Most of us will watch what happens on TV — but as you do, remember that the end of this story is up to you and what you decide to do in the days and weeks ahead.”

White House press secretary Jay Carney said Obama would thank supporters for their help and discuss his efforts to keep the promises he made in Iowa four years ago.

But Carney said the president “has a lot of work to do before he engages aggressively in the general election. That will come in due time.”

Obama was wasting little time getting back in front of vot-

ers following a Hawaiian vacation spent largely out of the spotlight. Campaign officials said Obama was expected to take questions from voters during the Iowa session, which was airing only for those who attended the caucus meetings. On Wednesday, Obama will travel to Cleveland for an event focused on the economy.

Obama was seeking to counter months of pounding by Republicans in Iowa and by the Republican National Committee, which has assailed Obama’s economic record and tagged him as a president who has failed to live up to lofty expectations.

“Three years later, the president’s promises of hope and change have been replaced with a record of failed leadership and policies that have made the economy worse,” RNC spokeswoman Kirsten Kukowski said.

Iowa looks to be among

about a dozen states that could shift either way in the 2012 campaign. Trying to build on his 2008 win there, Obama’s campaign has opened eight offices in the state and had held more than 1,200 training sessions, phone banks and other events and made more than 350,000 phone calls to supporters since April.

“When the rest of the Republican field packs up their office and leaves town, we have been here, we will continue to be here and we will continue to take and treat Iowa seriously,” said Democratic National Committee chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz, a Florida congresswoman.

Wasserman Schultz and Rep. Bruce Braley, D-Iowa, tried to raise expectations in Iowa for Republican Mitt Romney, saying anything but a top finish in the state would bode poorly for his campaign.

Fed to forecast interest-rate changes

BY MARTIN CRUTSINGER Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — In a major shift, the Federal Reserve will start announcing four times a year how long it plans to keep short-term interest rates at existing levels, according to minutes from its December policy meeting.

The shift marks the Fed’s latest effort to make its communications with the public more open and explicit.

The change is intended to reassure consumers and investors that they will be able to borrow cheaply well into the future. And some economists said it could lead to further Fed action to try to invigorate the economy.

The Fed’s first forecast for interest rates will be included in the economic projections it will issue after its Jan. 24-25 policy meeting.

More guidance on rates might help lower long-term yields further — in effect providing a kind of stimulus.

Lower rates could lead consumers and businesses to borrow and spend more. The economy would likely benefit.

Lower yields on bonds also

tend to cause some investors to shift money into stocks, which can boost wealth and spur more spending.

The Fed has left its key short-term rate at a record low near zero for the past three years. In August, it said it planned to leave the rate there until at least mid-2013, unless the economy improved.

In January, the Fed will release an interest rate forecast for the October-December quarter of 2012 and for the next few calendar years, the minutes show. It will update that forecast each quarter.

After its Dec. 13 policy meeting, the Fed issued a statement that portrayed the U.S. economy as improving slightly. It declined to take any further steps to boost growth. The minutes show that some on the policy committee favored additional action to try to lift the economy — but only after the Fed’s more explicit communication policy was in place.

Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody’s Analytics, said he thought the minutes signaled that the Fed will keep its benchmark rate at a record low beyond the mid2013 target it previously set.

“Most people had expected the funds rate would start rising in the second half of 2013,” Zandi said. “But Fed officials seem to be more concerned about the economy’s prospects than investors currently think.”

Dan Greenhaus, chief global strategist with BTIG, suggested that the Fed will launch another bond buying program later this year to try to further drive down longterm rates.

But Paul Dales, an economist with Capital Economics, cautioned that the minutes contained few signs that a third round of bond purchases is imminent. He thinks that such a step would come only if the economy weakened.

The Fed sketched a slightly healthier view of the economy after its last policy meeting for 2011. Hiring has picked up. And consumers are spending more despite slower growth globally.

David Jones, an economist who has written several books about the Fed, said the decision to regularly update the public on expectations for interest rates carries some risk.

If the Fed must alter its rate forecast in response to

changes in the economy, it could lose credibility with investors.

The Fed’s plan for more explicit guidance on interest rates follows other steps to make the central bank more transparent that began under Chairman Alan Greenspan and accelerated under the current chairman, Ben Bernanke.

Last year, Bernanke became the first chairman to hold regular news conferences. He has also sat for televised interviews and held town-hall meetings.

Collectively, Bernanke’s efforts have been intended to make the Fed’s decision-making process less secretive, to cast himself as open and accessible and to counter his critics.

Not until Greenspan’s tenure did the Fed even announce any changes in its benchmark rate. Until then, financial firms had to study the Fed’s purchases of Treasurys in the bond market to try to determine whether it was raising or lowering rates.

Previous chairmen tended to think the Fed operated best when it could keep financial markets guessing.

Arts group to present Red Skelton show Gateway Arts Council will present “Red Skelton: A Performance Tribute” Feb. 12 at 7 p.m. at the Sidney High School auditorium.

Tom Mullica pays tribute to America’s most beloved clown, as he magically transforms himself into the comedy genius of Red Skelton live on stage.

He performs Freddy the Freeloader, Clem Kadiddlehopper, Gertrude and Heathcliff, The Mean Widdle Kid, George Applebee, and a legion of memorable characters in a funny tribute presentation.

“From the day we met in the early ’80s, Red and I shared moments of both happiness and sadness together,” Mullica said.

“Red was kind to everyone he met; he was a touchable person who shared his life with those around him. He lived every day as if it was Christmas. He gave me permission to use his material, gave me W.C. Field’s twisted pool cue and most importantly, he

trusted in me. I once told him I didn’t feel as though I was contributing anything to life, and what I was doing doesn’t mean anything to anyone except me. He said, ‘Tom, don’t talk like that and never forget that laughter, and being able to evoke it, is a gift of the Gods!’”

The performance is sponsored in part by Emerson Climate Technologies, The Monarch Legacy Fund of The Community Foundation of Shelby County, Alvetro Orthodontics, US Bancorp, The Ohio Arts Council, Mutual Federal Savings Bank, Ruese Insurance, Bill and Mary Lou Francis, Tom and Pauline Francis, Ken and Mary Beth Monnier and Tom and Judy Westerheide.

General admission tickets are $18. Tickets for AAA members are $17.

Tickets are available at Ron & Nita’s, by calling 498-2787 and at the door the day of the performance pending availability.

• What to do if one is not where one would like to be.

About the series, Karas said, “If one doesn’t prepare for retirement, no one else will.

That’s why it’s so important to take time to consider retirement goals.

Furthermore, for most people, discussing longterm care is often an uncomfortable topic.

However, creating a long-term care strategy now may help to protect one’s family from financial burden in the future.

After years of work, a good retirement means

one is ready for anything. By taking some time to prepare for life in retirement, one will be more likely to enjoy everything dreamt about. When one retires, what will one do; volunteer? Work part-time?

Go back to school? Whatever is decided, financial preparation is required.”

Seating is limited.

Reservations for participants and guests can be made by calling Lu Ann Presser at 4976542.

These seminars are free and open to the public.

Heat a large saucepan over medium-high. Add the pork and brown, about 2 to 3 minutes per side. It does not need to cook through.

Add the onion and leek and continue to cook until the vegetables soften and begin to brown, about 5 to 6 minutes.

Add the caraway seeds, fennel seeds, celery seeds, mustard, black pepper, orange zest, orange juice and chicken broth.

Bring to a boil, cover and reduce heat to maintain a simmer.

Cook until the pork is very tender, 15 to 20 minutes.

When the pork is tender, use a slotted spoon to remove the meat from the liquid.

Using 2 forks, shred the pork to bite-size chunks, then return it to the pot. Add the sweet potato, cabbage and celery.

Continue to simmer until the vegetables are tender, about 15 minutes. Season with salt.

In a small bowl, stir together the yogurt, ketchup and relish.

Serve the stew topped with a dollop of the yogurt mixture and a sprinkling of fresh dill.

Snow covers parts of Ohio, leads to crashes CLEVELAND (AP) — Snow has tapered off in Ohio, where a storm left up to 10 inches on the ground and contributed to a highway pileup involving as many as 20 vehicles.

A lake effect snow warning was extended until 7 p.m. Tuesday in seven northeast Ohio counties. Forecasters say areas could get up to 3 more inches of snow.

The National Weather Service says Ashtabula County was left with up to 10 inches on Monday. Areas near Cleveland had 6 inches or more on the ground.

Though snow was lighter elsewhere in Ohio, authorities say it was a factor in numerous crashes. The State Highway Patrol says 1520 vehicles were in a

The Palladium-Item reports the state Department of Labor fined Tiller Sanitation $1,500 for not reporting employee Stephen Tiller’s death to the nearest federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration office.

The Greenville, Ohio, teen and a 19-year-old man were riding on the truck’s front end Sept. 5 near Parker City when it hit a rough spot on a road and both were knocked off, crushing Tiller to death beneath the truck.

The company was fined another $2,100 for not training workers in according with the truck’s operating manual which states that workers should not ride outside the cab on a ledge at the front of the truck.

In any case, Tufani and Makena were shipped to the Kansas City Zoo in Missouri. In the years that followed, Patrick spent much of his time alone or, more recently, as part of a bachelor gorilla troop that zoo officials are putting together.

DALLAS (AP) — After a lonely bachelor existence, a long-term relationship may finally be in Patrick’s future.

But first he has to learn some manners.

Patrick, the Dallas Zoo’s 21-year-old lowland gorilla, does not have a good track record for courting the ladies.

A few years ago, two females — Tufani from the Cincinnati Zoo and Makena from Disney’s Animal Kingdom — were brought in as prospective partners.

The first time Patrick was introduced to Makena, he bit her on the leg.

It was boorish, even for a gorilla, but not entirely Patrick’s fault, said Lynn Kramer, the zoo’s deputy director.

“Makena was partly raised by humans and wasn’t familiar with gorilla etiquette.”

Normally, females will stay out of the way of a mature male, known as a silverback. She didn’t.

“Patrick overreacted,” Kramer said. “In any case, it clearly wasn’t working out.”

It wasn’t the first time Patrick had exhibited anti-social behavior.

Deal to sell ‘M-A-S-H’ hot Company fined CITY, Ind. dog diner falls through (AP)PARKER — Indiana regula“interjected itself in negotiations” between TP Foods and a receiver who has had control of the chain since a lawsuit alleged misappropriation of company funds by Tony Packo III, Packo’s executive vice president and grandson of the diner’s founder.

“In the end, the management and financial risks of going forward with the purchase were too great for TP Foods to bear,” Bennett’s statement said.

Bennett told The Blade of Toledo that there were “a lot of conditions I felt that were overreaching, and I just couldn’t go along with it.”

The Associated Press left messages at Bennett’s offices on Tuesday seeking additional comment. Messages also were left at the corporate offices for Packo’s.

Karen Fraker, a spokeswoman for Fifth Third Bank, said the bank had no statement on the deal and does not comment on confidential negotiations.

TOLEDO (AP) — The sale of an Ohio hot dog diner made famous on TV’s “M-A-S-H” has fallen through, with the potential buyer saying he will not complete the $5.5 million deal because of bank-required changes.

The news surfaced on Tuesday, the same day that two officials with Packo’s Inc. Tony pleaded not guilty to charges of stealing from the restaurant chain.

Bob Bennett, owner of Bennett Management Corp. and TP Foods LLC, said in a statement that his decision came after Fifth Third Bank required some last-minute changes.

The bank, which holds the loan to the chain, insisted on changes that included an increase in the loan interest rate, multiple media outlets reported.

Bennett did not address the loan interest rate in his statement.

He did say that the bank had increased requirements for its support of the sale and

One of the better definitions of love comes from the late author and lecturer, Dr. Haim Ginnott, who proclaimed, “Love is not just a feeling and passion. Love is a system of attitudes and a series of acts, which engender growth and enhance life for both lover and beloved.

“Romantic love is

often blind: It acknowledges the strength, but does not see the weakness in the beloved. In contrast, mature love accepts the strength without rejecting the weakness. In mature love, neither boy nor girl tries to exploit or possess the other. Each belongs to himself.

“Such love gives the freedom to unfold and to become one’s best self.

Such love is also a commitment to stay in the relationship and attempt to work out difficulties even in times of anger and agony.”

To this I say, Amen!

“As a district, we remain committed to being fiscally conservative,” Holland continued.

“Over the past two years, teaching positions have been removed and hours reduced for classified employees. Everyone has shared in trying to manage our expenses while still providing an excellent education and services to our students. We will continue this effort as we move forward.”

Holland says the state has yet to come up with a funding formula, but have created a ‘bridge formula’ to fund schools in the meantime.

“We eagerly anticipate the development of the new school funding formula, hoping it increases state funding to our district,” he said.

Recently, I came home about 2:30. I was sitting in the living room and heard this crackling sound. I looked all over the house, but couldn’t find a thing.

Just then, my sister called and while talking to her, I began to smell something different.

The smell got stronger, and my sister said, “You better call the fire department.” It smelled like plastic burning. I called the fire department and in a very short time, they were at my house. I no more than got my car backed out of the garage and two fire trucks and a rescue squad were there.

They went into my front bedroom where the smell was worse.

They found out my computer tower had shorted out and was smoldering.

The fire department has an instrument now that can look in the walls and see if there is a fire.

They checked everything, then raised the windows to air out the room. I just know it was a “God” thing that it happened at that time.

I got home at 2:30 and was leaving again at 6.

It could have happened before 2:30 or after 6.

Ohio quakes could incite Vectren donates to Big Brothers fracking policy shift

BY JULIE CARR SMYTH Associated Press COLUMBUS (AP) — In Ohio, geographically and politically positioned to become a leading importer of wastewater from gas drilling, environmentalists and lawmakers opposed to the technique known as fracking are seizing on a series of small earthquakes as a signal to proceed with caution.

Earthquakes caused by the injection of wastewater that’s a byproduct of high-pressure hydraulic fracture drilling, aren’t new. Yet earthquakes have a special ability to grab public attention.

Saturday’s quake That’s especially true after Saturday’s quake near Youngstown, at magnitude 4.0 strong enough to be felt across hundreds of square miles.

Gov. John Kasich, a drilling proponent, has shut down the wastewater well on which the quake has been blamed, along with others in the area, as the seismic activity is reviewed. “Drilling’s very important for our economy and to help us progress as a state, but every single person in the Mahoning Valley felt this earthquake,� said state Sen. Joe Schiavoni, a Youngstown Democrat who on Tuesday called for a public hearing. “I wouldn’t deem it as an emergency, but when you live in a place that

you’re not used to earthquakes and you have 11 earthquakes, you’re concerned,� he said. “We need to give them some sort of confidence or security that this is going to be OK.�

Fracking involves blasting millions of gallons of water, laced with chemicals and sand, deep into the ground to unlock vast reserves of natural gas, a boon both for energy companies and a public hungry for cheap sources of fuel.

That process, though, behind toxic leaves wastewater that must be expensively treated or else pumped deep into the earth. The wastewater is extremely briny and can contain toxic chemicals from the drilling process — and sometimes radioactivity from deep underground.

Dumping The practice of dumping underground has been controversial in light of scant research done on potential environmental dangers, highlighted by reports of contamination of aquifers in some communities in Pennsylvania and Wyoming. Some states are reconsidering it.

A coalition of environmental groups is preparing a protest for next week’s return of the Ohio Legislature. Activists opposed to increased oil and gas drilling activity across Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York and West Virginia — where the Utica and Marcellus Shale formations are be-

lieved to hold vast quantities of gas — see trouble with the Ohio injection well. It took wastewater from fracking, as well as other forms of drilling. “What other business or industry isn’t held accountable for its full cradle-to-grave processes?� said Deborah Nardone, director of the Sierra Club’s Natural Gas Campaign. “They need to be responsible for the waste stream that they’ve created.�

Ohio’s closure of the well will have little to no impact on drilling, said Travis Windle, a spokesman for the Marcellus Shale Coalition, an industry group based in Pennsylvania. Four of the five wells that Ohio shut down were not operational, Windle said.

Drillers Pennsylvania’s drillers have turned in recent months to deep-well injection of millions of gallons of wastewater because of a voluntary state moratorium last year on dumping of waste at treatment plants where the partially treated liquids are discharged into rivers and streams that drinking water is taken from.

Pennsylvania has six deep injection wells that currently accept fracking fluid, said Amanda Witman, a spokeswoman for the Department of Environmental Protection.

But much of its waste is trucked into Ohio, where the geology allows for more injection wells.

Ohio’s willingness to

Progress Edition articles now being accepted Submissions are now being accepted for The Sidney Daily News annual Progress Editions to be published in February.

As in the past, the series of four special sections will focus on growth and progress realized during the current year and include forecasts for 2012.

The progress editions will be distributed with the newspaper each day Feb. 22-25. “Readers can save the four separate editions for a complete report on the local scene,� said Jeff Billiel, executive editor. “They will be broken down into logical categories which will make it

accept the fracking leftovers amid a drilling boom in states to the east, south and west worries some residents and environmental advocates who say the science isn’t proven — and point to the earthquakes as evidence.

The Ohio Petroleum Council, an industry group, says any public anxiety is misplaced. “Injection wells have worked well to protect public safety for decades, and a situation like the one in question near Youngstown is very rare,� executive director Terry Fleming said in a statement.

Blame Kasich told reporters over the weekend that he doesn’t believe the energy should be industry blamed for issues arising from disposal of their byproducts. That would be like blaming the auto industry for improper disposal of old tires, the firstterm Republican said.

Scientists have known for decades that drilling or injecting water into areas where a fault exists can cause earthquakes, said Paul Hsieh, a research hydrologist with the U.S. Geological Survey in Menlo Park, Calif. “That’s widely documented and accepted within the science community,� he said. “It’s seen all over the world.�

Injection wells have also been suspected in quakes in Arkansas, Colorado and Oklahoma.

Oklahoma’s sharpest earthquake on record, of magnitude 5.8 on Nov. 5, was centered on a county that has 181 such wells, according to Matt Skinner, a spokesman for the Oklahoma Corporation Commission, which oversees oil and gas production in the state and intrastate transportation pipelines.

Big Sisters

Vectren Energy Delivery of Ohio Inc. recently donated $2,500 to Big Brothers Big Sisters of Shelby and Darke County.

The donation was presented to the agency this past December at the after-school Buddies program at Northwood Elementary School in Sidney.

The funding comes at an opportune time for the agency, which now serves about 250 children in Shelby and Darke counties through its communitybased and high school mentoring programs, agency officials said. The recent donation will help support current matches in the community and assure that any child that is need of services is not turned away.

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Shelby and Darke County is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to provide children facing adversity with strong and enduring, professionally supported one-to-one relationships that change their lives for the better, forever.

The relationship is meant to guide each child towards becoming a confident, competent, and caring individual. Anyone interested in becoming a volunteer may call the office at 547-9622 or 492-7611.

Efforts are currently under way to recruit teams and corporate sponsors for the agency’s annual “Bowl For Kids’ Sake� event. The event is set for March 2 and 4 at Bel-Mar Lanes in Sidney and McBo’s Lanes in Versailles. Bowl for Kids’ Sake is open to the public and local community members can form four- or five-person teams. Each team member collects donations and comes out to enjoy the party. Corporate sponsorships are available for $300 where a company enters a five-person team of the company’s employees; this includes a company lane banner. A lane sponsorship for $125 includes the company name placed on a large banner above one of the lanes during the day-long event. Corporate sponsor names are announced throughout the day. Many other prizes are involved, including gift certificates to local restaurants and retail gift certificates.

Anyone interested should call the office at 5479622 or 492-7611 to obtain more information. Registration forms are available on the web at www.bigbrobigsis-shelbydarke.org.

HUE: I misplaced an article you wrote about eye pupil inequality. Will you please repeat it? — D.A. ANSWER: I wrote about Adie’s pupil, when one pupil is larger than the other. It usually happens to healthy young women. Infections, including syphilis and other conditions, cause the inequality, but they are in the minority.

Horner’s syndrome is another cause of difference in pupil size. Not only is one pupil smaller than the other, but facial sweating on the side of the smaller pupil stops.

There’s a slight drooping of the eyelid over the eye with the smaller pupil.

Most cases of Horner’s syndrome are idiopathic, meaning they have no discernible cause. One cause of this syndrome is lung cancer. Strokes can DEAR DR. DONO- cause it, too.

performance, replacement therapy is a possible antidote.

I understand that you don’t want to take testosterone. I don’t think it would help you or rid you of your complaints. Night sweats, chills, sleeplessness and low-grade fever are not signs of a lack of testosterone. Those things can be signs of more serious conditions, like hidden infections and undetected cancers. You should submit to a thorough examination by your doctor. You should not try to self-medicate with vitamins, dietary changes or homeopathic remedies. You have to find out exactly what’s going on. Your vasectomy has nothing to do with any of your symptoms.

––––– WASHINGTON (AP) — The sweeping new federal tax law, a multibillion dollar windfall for the states, is sparking debate on whether to cut rates for taxpayers or use the money for state programs or to ease deficits.

There are plans in 19 states to use the extra revenue on specific projects or to cut red ink.

But in at least 14 other states, officials say taxpayers are likely to benefit through lower rates that would return all or part of the windfall to them.

your sister?

I can’t decide for you how you will work this out, but I will offer this advice: For the present, make no hard and fast decisions. This could play out in any number of ways.

Her boss could marry her, or he could return to his wife and family. Wait and see what the future brings. It’s often full of surprises.

DEAR ABBY: I am a single adult female. I have a neighbor and friend I’ll call Kurt. He has been terrific to me. He has given me things, taken me out a few times and seems very caring. I enjoy the time we spend together and I have developed romantic feelings for him. My problem is Kurt is gay.

I know I can’t have the kind of relationship with him

that I’d like to. Once, we spent the whole day together and I spent the whole time wishing it had been a real date. It seems like whenever we go out together I don’t know how to handle the situation. Because he’s a neighbor, I run into him a lot. I could use some advice on this. — SO NEAR AND YET SO FAR IN TEXAS DEAR NEAR AND FAR: You and Kurt appear to be compatible on many levels, but you must accept that as wonderful a person as he is — he cannot give you the romantic love you’re looking for.

He isn’t “wired” that way. Wishing, hoping and dreaming won’t change that — but it WILL waste your time and prevent you from looking for eligible men.

You need to put the brakes

on this friendship until you have regained your balance and/or have met someone else.

And tell Kurt why, so his feelings won’t be hurt. I’m betting it won’t be the first time he’s heard it.

DEAR ABBY: Is a grandmother being disrespectful when she purposely continues to misspell her 12-year-old grandson’s name on cards and gifts? — HIS NAME IS JOE! DEAR H.N.I.J.!: Not knowing the grandmother, I can’t say for certain. She may be letting you know she’s disappointed you didn’t name the boy after his grandfather “Morris.” She could also be illiterate or somewhat demented, but I’m betting she’s letting you know she’s not happy with the name you chose.

JACKSON CENTER’S Troy Opperman (left) and Fort Loramie’s Kyle Miracle both go for the ball in action Tuesday night at Fort Loramie in County boys basketball.

Tigers pull out 40-36 win to up mark to 7-0 FORT LORAMIE — Neither team could shoot free throws Tuesday night at Fort Loramie, but the Jackson Center Tigers hit a few that really counted in the late stages to help them to a 40-36 victory over upset-minded Fort Loramie in County boys basketball action.

The win keeps the Tigers unbeaten on the year at 7-0 and that includes five straight in league play. They host Anna Friday.

Fort Loramie drops to 1-4 in the County and 1-6 overall and has a tough road ahead, with three straight away games, starting with Friday at Botkins.

Jackson Center didn’t get its first lead of the low-scoring game until 2:30 remained in the second quarter, on a threepointer by Gavin Wildermuth.

But Fort Loramie reeled off the last four points of the quarter for an 18-17 halftime lead.

Andy Hoying had to do the brunt of the scoring in the first half, and he started fast in the second as well. He scored the game’s first four points of the third quarter to stake the Tigers to a 21-18 lead, but before the Tigers could seize the momentum, back came the Redskins with six in a row, the last three on Kyle Miracle’s third threepointer of the game.

Loramie’s lead reached five points at 26-21, but the Tigers cut it to 26-24 on a bucket by Eric Ryder, and led 28-27 after Trey Elchert drained a three just under the buzzer.

Jackson took the lead at 2928 on a follow by Ryder, and had a chance to stretch the lead when Wildermuth was fouled. But he missed both to make the Tigers 1-for-7 at that point.

Loramie then got a threepointer from Miracle and a three-point play from Jared Albers to open up a six-point lead.

Back came Jackson, however, with six in a row to knot the score at 35-35, and four of the points ironically came at the free throw line.

Fort Loramie then missed two free throws on Alex Meyer’s fourth foul, and Hoying scored at the other end on an assist from Elchert for a 37-35 Jackson lead with 2:55 remaining.

After Loramie missed the front end of a one-and-one, Jackson ran the clock all the way down to a minute, but Elchert couldn’t connect at the foul line.

At the other end, Loramie got one of two free throws but Wildermuth countered with one at the other end to make it 38-36.

In the final hectic seconds, Jackson missed two free

throws to give Loramie a chance, but the Redskins twice missed with a chance to tie or take the lead.

Jackson finally nailed it down with two Meyer free throws with :03 left.

For the game, Jackson was just 8-for-20 from the line, 40 percent, and Loramie 4-for-11, 36 percent. The Redskins missed four out of five in the final period.

“Hopefully, we’re growing and developing,” said Loramie coach Karl Ratermann. “We missed some crucial free throws, and we missed some shots in the fourth quarter when we had the chance to retake the lead. Hopefully, those will start falling.”

Jackson’s Hoying finished with nearly half of his team’s points on the night, going for 18.

Trojans roll past Houston 67-44 BOTKINS — Being at home agrees with the Botkins Trojans.

Playing only their second home game this season, the Trojans posted an impressive win over the Houston Wildcats, 67-44, in a makeup of the “fire alarm” game Tuesday night in County boys basketball action.

The Trojans snap a threegame losing streak with the win and go to 4-3 on the year with Fort Loramie coming to town Friday.

Houston drops to 3-4 on the year and hosts Lehman on Saturday.

The Trojans jumped on Houston early, and then withstood a late second-quarter rally to pull away to the win.

“They got it down to six with the first basket of the third quarter, but we got it back up,” said Brett Meyer, Botkins’ coach. “We took the ball to the basket a little more tonight, and we got good balance again, which is what we did in winning our first three games.

Botkins was 27-for-49 from the field for a red-hot 55 percent, while limiting Houston to 42 percent on 14-for-33.

The Trojans also outre-

bounded the Wildcats 25-19, with 10 of those coming on the offensive end.

Tyler Egbert poured in 21 to lead the Trojans, all but two of those after the first period.

Ethan Zimpfer added 11 and Gabe Lawrence chipped in nine off the bench.

“Gabe came in and hit a coule of threes in the first half,” said Meyer. “And Nate Cisco really gave us a charge.

He only had five points, but he was all over the floor diving for loose balls. And the other kids picked up on that.”

Jesse Phlipot was the lone

Wildcat in double figures with 13, and Nate Ritchie added nine, including 7-for-8 from the line.

Houston (44) Braun 1-1-4; Mullen 2-3-7; Ritchie 1-7-9; Clark 1-0-2; Phlipot 6-1-13; Curl 2-3-7; Phipps 1-0-2. Totals: 1415-44.

No quick fix for Browns after 4-12 finish TOM WITHERS AP Sports Writer BEREA, Ohio (AP) — The growing pains were agonizing, the mistakes numerous, the progress difficult to spot.

The Cleveland Browns had another one of those seasons.

Losing, though, has its rewards in the NFL, which compensates its worst teams with high draft picks to help them get better. After going 412, the Browns, with one of the league’s youngest rosters, will have the No. 4 overall selection in April and Cleveland fans are already frothing at the chance to bring in a college star like Baylor quarterback Robert Griffin III to be their savior.

As he packed his bags for the offseason Monday, Browns cornerback Sheldon Brown issued a warning to that line of thinking.

“My thing is, if you’re dependent on a draft pick to come in here and change your life, then you’re kidding yourself,” he said. “This game is too hard.”

It certainly has been for the Browns, who haven’t made the playoff since 2002. They’ve lost at least 11 games in each of the past four seasons and a minimum of 10 in eight of the past nine.

Green Bay (15) won more games this season than the Browns (14) have won in the past three seasons — combined.

And consider this stat: The defending Super Bowl champion Packers outscored the Browns 560-218.

So while some think Griffin, the Heisman Trophy winner, is the an-

BROWNS

WRAPUP

swer to all of Cleveland’s prayers, Brown believes the Browns already have the players they need to win consistently.

“The guys here have to step their game up to another level because they’re experienced,” he said. “Most rookies get hurt because they get tired and they don’t understand the speed and the strength of this game at the professional level. So I’m never sold on high draft picks.”

It was a turbulent first season in Cleveland for coach Pat Shurmur, who because of the NFL lockout didn’t have an offseason to install his new West Coast offense or get to know his team on the field. He made his share of mistakes, but Brown, who was previously with Shurmur in Philadelis confident phia, Browns president Mike Holmgren hired the right coach.

Shurmur has his detractors, but there’s no denying that the Browns, who went 0-6 in the rugged AFC North, played hard for him.

“He did a tremendous job,” Brown said.

“Everybody thinks it’s an easy job, everybody wants to sit in a room and say, ‘I can do this better, I can do that better.’ He dealt with the situations to the best of my knowledge, the best he could, and he kept this football team fighting. And for me, that’s how I judge a head coach.

“If a football team goes out there and competes week in and week out, through thick and through thin — and it was very thick this year

CLEVELAND BROWNS offensive tackle Jason Pinkston kneels in the snow after a 13-9 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in an NFL football game in Cleveland. The Brown's 4-12 season ended with another loss to Pittsburgh, which like Baltimore and Cincinnati, is headed to the playoffs while the Browns try to figure out how to get out of the AFC North basement.

— but we didn’t quit. So that tells me that the leader is in place.”

Shurmur will discuss his rollercoaster rookie year Tuesday, and Holmgren and general manager Tom Heckert are scheduled to meet the media Thursday, when they’re sure to be grilled about the team’s tricky quarterback situation.

Colt McCoy made 13 starts this season, but missed his final three games with a concussion. The Browns have a better sense of what McCoy is, and there’s a strong argument to be made for sticking with him in 2012 after investing so much time into his development.

But if the Browns — particularly Holmgren — don’t think McCoy can take them to a Super Bowl, they may look for

a starting QB in free agency, a trade or the draft. With Stanford’s Andrew Luck expected to go No. 1 overall to Indianapolis, the next best choice could be Griffin, who resurrected Baylor and would be counted on to do the same with the Browns.

Brown, for one, isn’t counting on Griffin to ride in to the rescue.

“I’m definitely not, and if you are, you’re crazy,” he said.

Crazy would describe Cleveland’s wild season, which included costly injuries, endless drama around running back Peyton Hillis, dropped passes, and tough losses.

The Browns lost six games by seven points or less, dropping their final three by a total of 13 points.

But close doesn’t put anything in the win col-

umn, and kicker Phil Dawson, whose 13th season with the Browns may have been his best, said the near misses can only help if players learned something from them.

“We were in a lot of games. It’s death by inches, though,” said Dawson. “Are we that close, or is that just the nature of the league? It depends on your personality, how you’re going to view that. In my little world, if my plant foot misses the spot by a quarter-inch, I miss the kick.

“That will probably tell you how I look at it.

Everybody looks at themselves critically and figure out how they can improve. If we do that, now these close games are coming out in our favor. Hopefully that’s the way guys respond to it.”

Brown, too, thinks the Browns are nearing legitimacy.

“We’re very close,” said the 10-year veteran.

“It’s one or two plays each game. You just have to find the playmakers and they just have to understand the sense of urgency and make the play.”

That sounds like a record, but broken Brown said he hasn’t felt this way before — not with the Browns.

“I didn’t tell you this last year,” he said. “I thought we were way off last year.”

The Browns put their franchise tag on Dawson this season and may do so again. The 36-year-old said he had a positive exit interview with team management and was encouraged by Heckert’s recent comments that the team would like to have him back. It would be hard to imagine the Browns not re-signing him.

Dawson has served his time — hard time — Cleveland.

The in Browns have gone 68141 during his tenure, and Dawson would hate not to be here when things finally get turned around. After waiting so long, he would hate to miss out on the good times.

“I don’t want to be Moses,” he said. “I don’t want to lead the people right to the edge and not get to go in. There’s going to be so many things, I can’t prioritize them at this point. We just lost to the Steelers 20 hours ago and that still hurts. I need to get home and eat a burrito.”

Hopefully, it will go down easier than this season.
