Stop sign to be removed Effective Jan. 23, the intersection of Wapakoneta Avenue and Parkwood Street will become a two-way intersection with Wapakoneta becoming the through street and Parkwood the stop street. Motorists approaching and stopping on Parkwood will need to use caution before entering the intersection. Signs will be placed below the stop signs on Parkwood warning motorists cross traffic on Wapakoneta Avenue does

not stop. Sidney City Council, at its Jan. 8 meeting, amended the city’s traffic code map regarding the intersection, allowing police to enforce the traffic change. The traffic light was removed at the direction of the Ohio Department of Transportation as the intersection currently does not meet warrant requirements in the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control devices adopted by the city.

BY LINDA MOODY Ohio Community Media lmoody@dailyadvocate.com VERSAILLES — Mary Poor learned a valuable, life-saving lesson in 2011 and wants other women to be more aware of their health. Thinking she had pulled a muscle, the Versailles woman, in hindsight, knows she should have sought medical attention sooner. Poor suffers from fibromyalgia and said she is in pain all of the time because of that. The last week in February 2011, she was washing her walls down at home while doing some spring cleaning, and discovered a pain at the center of her chest. “I thought it was a pulled muscle,” she said. “In my mind, a heart attack is so painful … wrong again.” She waited a day or two until husband Gary convinced her to call the family doctor. She went and was sent to Upper Valley Medical Center (UVMC) in Troy to have an EKG done, and the doctor there wanted her to go Dayton to have stents put in. “The weather was too bad to have CareFlight come,” she said. An ambulance then transported her to the Dayton medical facility, where she

would have open-heart surgery. “I had surgery right away … five bypasses,” said Poor. “I had 90 percent blockage in one; 80 percent in another one; 70 percent in two; and 60 percent in another. I was in the hospital from Feb. 25 through March 2. After the bypasses, I felt fine until my leg acted up.” The leg that was used in the surgical procedure was blistered on one whole side, she said, because she was allergic to the tape. A couple of days after her release from the hospital, she was unable to walk on her foot nor put weight on it. She returned to Troy hospital’s emergency room on March 8. However, medical officials looked at her leg and could not find anything wrong, gave her a shot and sent her home. “The next day, I couldn’t even walk on my own,” she recalled. “My leg was swollen.” So, another trip was made to the surgeon’s office. “One incision had leaked into the leg at the bottom of the leg and filled with blood,” she recalled. “I had same-day surgery and had a wound vac put on. They put a hole in my leg and left it open, took Ohio Community Media Photo/Linda Moody a hard sponge and put it into the open sore and sucked the blood out of my leg.

Deputies investigate one-vehicle accident GREENVILLE — Darke County Sheriff’s deputies responded Saturday morning to a onevehicle rollover crash on North Star-Fort Loramie Road that involved six teenagers. Deputies said preliminary investigation revealed a vehicle driven by a 17-year-old youth from Fort Loramie went out of control and struck a guardrail. The vehicle overturned several times, striking a utility pole before coming to rest in the highway. Alcohol is believed to be a factor in the crash as open containers were found in the vehicle. Deputies have not released names of the vehi-

cle’s occupants. Two of the six occupants of the vehicle were transported to Wayne HealthCare in Greenville and one was transported to Miami Valley Hospital in Dayton by the Mobile Intensive Care unit as CareFlight could not fly due to weather conditions. Two of the teens refused treatment at the scene and one was later located at his residence in Fort Loramie. Deputies said Sunday the crash remains under investigation. Assisting at the crash scene were Osgood, Versailles and Ansonia rescue units and the North Star Fire Department.

Armless teacher trusts ‘his wings’ HAMILTON (AP) — Teacher Abe Harris’s extraordinary grasp of his potential long ago exceeded his reach. The armless art instructor at Riverview Elementary in Hamilton has overcome a daunting physical challenge to excel as both a veteran teacher and youth sports coach. Born without normal arms, Harris jokingly refers to the 6-inch protrusions from his shoulders as his “nubs.” As a youngster he learned to manipulate them deftly and has flourished in both his professional and personal life. The married, 33-yearold father of a young daughter spends each school day surrounded by his students, who learn both art and life lessons from his inspirational example. “He shows us how not to feel bad about yourself and to believe in yourself,” says Riverview fifthgrader Natalie Taveras. Since high school, Harris has hung a large photo poster of NBA Hall of Famer Michael Jordan, shown with his expansive arms outstretched to full length. Always a fixture in his classrooms, the stark image is accompanied by a caption from English poet William Blake that reads: “No bird soars too high if he soars with his own wings.” The poem stuck with Harris over the years and, he says, “I have trusted my wings ever since.” Riverview Principal Mary Anne Hughes has

lofty praise for Harris’ many talents. “Not only is he the art teacher for the entire student body but he also is the intramurals coordinator and our volleyball, soccer, basketball and track coach,” Hughes said. “Mr. Harris provides an excellent role model for the entire Riverview family as a living example that nothing can stop you from reaching your goals.” Here are some questions with answers from Harris: QUESTION: What are your first memories of wanting to be a teacher and were you discouraged at least initially away from such work due to your physical challenge? ANSWER: I didn’t think of being a teacher until my second semester at Miami University. I was taking my core classes and as many art classes as I could get when one day an instructor suggested I consider art education. He said I had a unique perspective on how art was created and was able to help people solve problems in new ways. My other passion in life is sports, so a career in public education seemed right up my alley. I always look at my physical challenge as positive in my life. Our differences are what make us all special. Q: Was there one person who really inspired you to hold on to and live your dream of becoming a teacher? A: I have been supported by so many won-

derful people from parents to principals and everyone in between. I wouldn’t have been the young man I was without the support of my mother, who refused to let me think I was different than the other kids. I wouldn’t have been the college student I was without counting on some very good friends. I couldn’t be a teacher and coach two Division I varsity sports without the grace and love from my wife, Amber, and daughter, Amelia. Q: Can you describe the initial reactions of new students to your art class and sports teams? A: I have been fortunate to work in the same community on the east side of Hamilton for most of my teaching career. I have known my varsity soccer players since they were in elementary school. I have known some of the first- through sixthgraders I teach since they came to conference night in a stroller with their siblings. Most of the time new athletes and students know all about me before they even come to my practice or class. Q: What advantages does your physical challenge allow you as a teacher and coach? A: In some ways it is harder to model and demonstrate making 3D works of art to students who are learning it for the first time. I have found way of using older students to help show younger students how the process would look using hands.

taken to a medical facility afterward. Her daughter-in-law, Heather Sowers, said Gilkey died Saturday, hours before the funeral for her 38-year-old son, Leroy Gilkey of Columbus. Another son, Ralph Sowers III, told 911 dispatchers that he witnessed the shootings by his stepfather, Paul “David” Gilkey, who was found dead on a porch. Sowers said his stepfather let him leave the scene because he has children.

“It was fabulous, physically and mentally,” she said. Another thing that helped in her recuperation was the receiving of getwell cards. “I received hundreds and hundreds of cards,” she said. “I even got cards from (Sidney) Lehman students. It was overwhelming. I’ve never been on the receiving end. It was unbelievable.” Poor said she didn’t start feeling good until about August. “I feel better than I’ve felt in 15 years,” she said. She is the mother of three daughters, Kim Middendorf, Nicki Garke and Heather Poor and has five grandchildren. “I love gardening, especially daylilies, and I like walking and visiting at nursing homes,” she said. Her advice to others: “I had no shortness of breath. Pay attention. Make your doctors listen. After I came home the third time, I could do anything I wanted. Home health care is important. I must have a guardian angel.” Family members had a birthday party to surprise her on her Aug. 17 birthday when she turned 65. “I had so much fun,” she said. “It was at the Burkettsville Shelter House.” The former Mary Monnin of the Russia, Ohio, area, she is a member of St. Denis Catholic Church and loves to go to flea markets. “Everything is so important now,” she said. “I’ve made a bucket list of what I want to do before I die. Justine is on that list.” Poor indicated she also wants to meet Matt Light and go to the zoo. Two of the things on her list she has already done; the first thing was ride a motorcycle and the other was to visit a cheesecake factory. Other things mentioned were “Bengals,” “Ohio State,” “Reds,” “See Jordan Monnin play at Wittenberg,” “Meet the Reds,” “Watch my grandchildren grow” and “Go mushroom hunting this year.” “I haven’t gone mushroom hunting for 20 to 25 years,” she said.

Woman dies on day of son’s funeral LOGAN (AP) — A terminally ill woman has died days after her husband fatally shot their adult son and her two sisters in front of her at a southeastern Ohio home and then killed himself. Authorities said the shootings last Monday in rural Logan apparently stemmed from family tensions over the care of the cancer-stricken woman, 59-year-old Darlene Gilkey. She was not hurt in the shootings and was

it felt like it was pulling my skin off. I screamed the whole time. I think the nerve endings were causing the pain.” She spent from March 9-14 in the hospital. Coming home, the leg swelled again so big that she once again couldn’t walk. Rescue took her to Troy where they discovered she had blood clots, so it was back to Good Sam and Poor was placed on blood thinner. “I still have the clots, but they’re dissolving,” she said. Now, she’s walking three miles a day and, when the weather was nice, she rode her bike nine miles a day. Now, Poor wants to make sure other people, especially women, don’t have to go through what she did. “I think I can help a lot of other women who just think a little discomfort is nothing,” she said. “It’s been a long difficult work at learning to change my lifestyle and taking one day at a time.” She admitted that she was planning on watching Justine Raterman play a game before that last trip to the hospital, but her medical woes prevented that. “I wanted to see Justine play, but they told me if I wouldn’t have went that Friday, I would have died at the game,” Poor said. In her recuperation at home, granddaughter Danielle Poor, 14, made her food and stayed with her every night. Poor was also grateful to her sisters as well as two friends, Lisa Zumberger and Sue Monnin, who came to see her every weekend, bringing food and flowers. “I don’t know what I’d done without them,” she said. “And, my husband took off work five weeks without pay.” Poor retired from Midmark after 19 years of service four years ago. Diagnosed with the fibromyalgia 10 years ago, she did get to see Raterman play this past Saturday with the Dayton Flyers. “Her family is good people,” Poor said. Poor said what helped her most was the rehabilitation at the UVMC in Troy.

Tax cuts talks focus on budget WASHINGTON (AP) — Republicans would cut federal employee benefits. President Barack Obama would raise fees for airline passengers and eliminate Saturday mail delivery. Democrats in Congress would charge employers higher premiums for federal pension guarantees. As Congress returns from a three-week holiday break, those are a few of the ideas for how to pay for extending an average $20a-week Social Security payroll tax cut through the end of 2012 without adding to the government’s long-term debt. Obama and fellow Democrats insisted on taxing the wealthy to offset the deficit impact of the payroll tax cut and of providing jobless benefits to the long-term unemployed. While still useful as campaign fodder, that idea is largely a bygone one.

Tanker arrives NOME, Alaska (AP) — Crews worked to build a path Sunday over a halfmile of Bering Sea ice for the final leg of a Russian tanker’s mission to deliver fuel to a town isolated amid one of the most severe Alaska winters in decades. The tanker was moored roughly a half-mile from Nome’s harbor after a Coast Guard cutter cleared a path for it through hundreds of miles of a slow journey stalled by thick ice and strong ocean currents. The tanker got into position Saturday night, and ice disturbed by its journey had to freeze again so workers could create some sort of roadway to lay a hose that will transfer 1.3 million gallons of fuel from the tanker to the harbor in Nome.

Captain’s conduct blasted Divers find more dead GIGLIO, Italy (AP) — Maritime authorities, passengers and mounting evidence pointed Sunday toward the captain of a cruise liner that ran aground and capsized off the Tuscan coast, amid accusations that he abandoned ship before everyone was safely evacuated and was showing off when he steered the vessel far too close to shore. Divers searching the murky depths of the partially submerged Costa Concordia found the bodies of two elderly men still in their life jackets, bringing the confirmed death toll to five. At least 15 people were still missing, including two Americans. The recovered bodies were discovered at an emergency gathering point near the restaurant where many of the 4,200 on board were dining

when the luxury liner struck rocks or a reef off the tiny island of Giglio. The Italian news agency ANSA reported the dead were an Italian and a Spaniard. Still, there were glimmers of hope: The rescue of three survivors — a young South Korean couple on their honeymoon and a crew member brought to shore in a dramatic airlift some 36 hours after the grounding late Friday. Meanwhile, attention focused on the captain, who was spotted by Coast Guard officials and passengers fleeing the scene even as the chaotic and terrifying evacuation was under way. The ship’s Italian owner, a subsidiary of Carnival Cruise lines , issued a statement late Sunday saying there appeared to be “significant human error” on the part of

should only leave at the end,” said Du Pays, a police officer who said he helped an injured passenger to a rescue boat. “I did what I could.” Coast Guard officers later spotted Schettino on land as the evacuation unfolded. The officers urged him to return to his ship and honor his duty to stay aboard until everyone was safely off the vessel, but he ignored them, Coast Guard Cmdr. Francesco Paolillo said. Schettino insisted he didn’t leave the liner early, telling Mediaset television that he had done everything he could to save lives. “We were the last ones to leave the ship,” he said. Questions also swirled about why the ship had navigated so close to the dangerous reefs and rocks that jut off Giglio’s eastern coast, amid suspicions the captain may have ventured too close while carrying out a maneuver to entertain tourists on the island.

Rivals: Split vote aids Romney

Probe crashes MOSCOW (AP) — A Russian space probe designed to boost the nation’s pride on a bold mission to a moon of Mars came down in flames Sunday, showering fragments into the south Pacific west of Chile’s coast, officials said. Pieces from the PhobosGround, which had become stuck in Earth’s orbit, landed in water 1,250 kilometers (775 miles) west of Wellington Island in Chile’s south, the Russian military Air and Space Defense Forces said in a statement carried by the country’s news agencies.

the captain, Francesco Schettino, “which resulted in these grave consequences.” Authorities were holding Schettino for suspected manslaughter and a prosecutor confirmed Sunday they were also investigating allegations the captain abandoned the stricken liner before all the passengers had escaped. According to the Italian navigation code, a captain who abandons a ship in danger can face up to 12 years in prison. A French couple who boarded the Concordia in Marseille, Ophelie Gondelle and David Du Pays, told the Associated Press they saw the captain in a lifeboat, covered by a blanket, well before all the passengers were off the ship. “The commander left before and was on the dock before everyone was off,” said Gondelle, 28, a French military officer. “Normally the commander

Man gives up hamsters

MLK’s image evolving

LAWRENCE, Mass. (AP) — A Massachusetts man has turned over 94 hamsters to a local animal shelter, telling officials he was running out of room in his apartment. The director of the shelter says the rodents were well cared for and will make nice pets. Shelter director Mike Keiley tells the Eagle-Tribune that the hamsters’ owner, whom he didn’t identify, stopped by this month and said he had a lot of hamsters to surrender. A Lawrence animal control officer says the man was “overwhelmed” when officials came to get the hamsters Friday, and initially wanted to keep a few. But she says he changed his mind.

WASHINGTON (AP) — On the National Mall in Washington, Martin Luther King Jr. is a towering, heroic figure carved in stone. On the Broadway stage, he’s a living, breathing man who chain smokes, sips liquor and occasionally curses. As Americans honor King’s memory 44 years after he was assassinated, the image of the slain civil rights leader is evolving. The new King memorial, which opened in August in the nation’s capital, celebrates the ideals King espoused. Quotations from his speeches and writings conjure memories of his message, and a 30-foot-tall sculpture depicts King emerging as a “stone of hope” from a “mountain of despair,” a design inspired by a line of his famous “I Have a Dream” speech.

Some gaze upon this figure in silence. Some smile and pull out cell phone cameras. Others chat about how closely the statue resembles King. And some are moved to tears. “Just all that this man did so that we could do anything and be anything,” said Brandolyn Brown, 26, of Cheraw, S.C., who visited the memorial Saturday with her aunt and cousin. “I know it took a lot more than him to get to where we are, but he was a big part of the movement.” Brown’s aunt, Gloria Drake, 60, of Cheraw, S.C., said she remembers King almost as though he was Moses leading his people to the promised land, even when there were so many reasons to doubt things would get better in an era of segregated buses, schools and lunch counters.

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — A splintered conservative vote in South Carolina could pave the way for Mitt Romney to win this week’s pivotal primary, some rivals said Sunday, acknowledging an outcome that prominent state lawmakers suggested could end the nomination fight. “I think the only way that a Massachusetts moderate can get through South Carolina is if the vote is split,” said Newt Gingrich, portraying himself as the lone conservative with a “realistic chance” of beating Romney in the first-in-theSouth contest. Polls show Romney, the former Massachusetts governor who struggled to a fourthplace finish in South Carolina during his 2008 White House run, with a lead heading into Saturday’s vote. The state has a large population of evangelicals and other conservative Christians, and concerns arose four years ago about his Mormon faith. But Gingrich, Rick Santorum and Rick Perry all said Romney, after victories in Iowa and New Hampshire, continued to benefit from the fractured GOP field and the failure of social conservatives to fully coalesce around a single alternative. Santorum said South Carolina is “not going to be the final issue” and spoke of the “need to get this eventually down to a conservative alternative” to Romney. “When we get it down to a two-person race, we have an excellent opportunity to win this race,” said the former Pennsylvania senator, who won the endorsement of an influential group of social conservatives and evangelical leaders Saturday in Texas. Perry, the Texas governor,

said it was “our intention” to compete in the next contest, Florida’s Jan. 31 primary, even if he finished last in South Carolina. Gingrich said he would “reassess” his candidacy if he lost in South Carolina and acknowledged that a Romney victory would mean “an enormous advantage going forward.” The former House speaker appealed for the support of “every conservative who wants to have a conservative nominee.” “I hope every conservative will reach the conclusion that to vote for anybody but Gingrich is, in fact, to help Romney win the nomination,” he said. The state’s senior senator, Republican Lindsey Graham, started looking beyond Saturday’s primary, saying, “If for some reason he’s not derailed here and Mitt Romney wins South Carolina … I think it should be over.” He added, “I’d hope the party would rally around him if he did in fact win South Carolina.” To Rep. Tim Scott, R-S.C., the equation is simple: “If Romney wins South Carolina, I think the game’s over. This is the last stand for many candidates.” He noted that three candidates are pursuing the evangelical vote “very strongly, and without any question that works to the Romney campaign’s benefit. It’s hard to find a single candidate that rallies all of the Christian voters in South Carolina, and therefore that splintered approach will probably have a major impact” in the primary. Romney took a rare day off from campaigning while his opponents focused on the South Carolina coast.

DeWine gives protection tips after attempted abduction COLUMBUS — Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine is calling on parents and guardians to prepare and protect their children against possible abduction or kidnapping. DeWine issued his warning after a Butler County girl was the victim of an attempted abduction. “The key to keeping kids safe from those who would prey on them is communication and constant vigilance, and parents are the first line of defense,” DeWine said. “I encourage all parents to talk candidly with their children, teach them how to avoid or react to potential danger, and know where they are and who they’re with at all times.” The Ohio attorney

general’s office offers these tips to help parents and guardians prevent abductions and kidnappings: • Teach children to run away from danger and never toward it. If someone grabs them they should scream, kick, and resist by making a scene until they can break free. If they are followed by an unfamiliar vehicle they should turn and run in the opposite direction toward a parent or another trusted adult. • Never allow children to go anywhere by themselves. A parent or trusted adult should always be present to supervise young children and older children should always be accompanied by a friend wherever they go. • Remind children

how it works and how to make sure doors and windows are locked. They should also know whom to contact in case of an emergency and how to reach local police, fire stations, and hospitals. • Report any suspicious people or activities to law enforcement. If a family member is being targeted, stalked, or threatened, local law enforcement authorities should be notified immediately. “Just this Wednesday, a 12-year-old girl was the victim of an attempted abduction in Middletown. We must do all we can to protect children from predators, and teaching them about these dangers can be perhaps our most effective tool,” said DeWine.

Gateway Arts Council has opened its juried high school art exhibit. The show, featuring the works of area high school students, will run through Jan. 27 in the Gateway Arts Council Gallery at 216 N. Miami Ave. The gallery is open weekdays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. It is free and open to the public. The 95 pieces of artwork submitted from seven high schools were

juried by a panel of professional artists based on the elements of design, principles of design, composition, technical handling of medium and final presentation. Of the 95 pieces submitted, 40 pieces are featured in the art exhibit. Gateway Arts Council Executive Director Ellen Keyes said that “The superior quality of all the work we received from

the students exemplifies the superior quality of art instructions these students are receiving. My hat is off to both the students and their teachers. Bravo!” The schools taking part in the exhibit are Lehman Catholic High School, New Knoxville High School, Fort Loramie High School, Jackson Center High School, Sidney High School, Botkins High

Make plans now for National Pie Day next week: Easy as 1-2-3 CHICAGO — Throwing a pie baking — and pie tasting — party for friends or coworkers, or to raise money for a favorite charity, are all delicious ways to celebrate National Pie Day Jan. 23. Why is National Pie Day celebrated on Jan. 23 or 1/23? Because celebrating the wholesome goodness of pie is as easy as 1-2-3! Other holidays may be marked by a day off from work or aisles full of cards, candy and gifts in the drug stores, but National Pie Day is the only holiday that’s all indulging in about America’s favorite dessert pie and sharing it with friends and loved ones. Although 2011 was officially dubbed “The Year of the Pie” this versatile dessert shows no signs of crumbling in the popularity polls anytime soon. Served warm or cold, sweet or savory, one crust or two, a la mode or a la carte, by the slice or straight from the pan, pie was, and still is, hot, hot, hot. Which pie should you choose for your National Pie Day party? The piesibilities are endless! Will it be one of the 231 varieties of apple pie, the favorite of 36 million Americans? Perhaps pumpkin pie, which was first introduced to the holiday table at the pilgrim’s second Thanksgiving in 1623? Or maybe a pecan pie, which is the third most

REAL

popular choice in our nation of pie lovers? The American Pie Council (APC), the only organization committed to maintaining America’s pie heritage, offers pie partiers plenty of award-winning recipes on its website, w w w. p i e c o u n c i l . o r g. Budding bakers can share some camaraderie around the rolling pin and try their hand at any one of more than 50 recipes from the annual APC/Crisco National Pie Championships, held each spring in Orlando, Fla. These recipes were specially developed by professional and amateur bakers from all over the United States for entry in this prestigious annual competition. Popular pie party selections might include the Amateur Best in Show winner, the “Royal Macadamia Raspberry

Pie” or Professional Best in Show winner, “Engagement Ring Pie,” a blueberry-based pie named in honor of Prince William and his bride. Of course, pie purists will find the classics well represented on www.piecouncil.org, with plenty of variations for the all-American apple, classic coconut cream, luscious lemon meringue, and many more. Not a baker? Not a problem. Why not invite a local pastry chef or culinary student to your pie party to teach you and your friends the secret to a perfect crust? Or, just pick up a pie from your neighborhood bakery or supermarket. It’s sure to warm up a cold January night and stir up some “oohs” and “aahs” just as well as homemade. You could even pass off a store-

bought pie as your own creation. Seven percent of Americans have! “Just because the holidays are over doesn’t mean the fun and fellowship with friends and family need to end, too,” said Linda Hoskins, executive director, American Pie Council. “Throwing a pie party for National Pie Day on Jan. 23, is a great way to beat those post-holiday blues, reconnect with the ones you love, add some fun to the workplace, or perhaps even raise some money for a favorite charity.” Bakers of all skill levels are invited to enter the 18th Annual APC/Crisco National Pie Championships to be held April 27-29 in Orlando. Entry forms will be posted soon at w w w. p i e c o u n c i l . o r g. Those who prefer to appreciate the nuances of pie without all the work won’t want to miss the APC Great American Pie Festival sponsored by Crisco, featuring the Never Ending Pie Buffet, held April 28-29 in nearby Celebration, Fla. The American Pie Council is the only organization committed to maintaining America’s pie heritage, passing on the tradition of pie-making and promoting America’s love affair with pie. The APC offers personal, professional and commercial memberships. For more information, visit www.piecouncil.org.

When he returned to Putti in 2011, what Lieberman didn’t expect when he showed up with the Torah after a bumpy and grueling five-hour drive was being greeted like royalty! The people of the village welcomed Lieberman and his group with shouts and screams of pure joy at this incredible gift. It has not been easy for the people of Putti to practice their Jewish faith. From 1971 to 1979, the reigning president of Uganda placed a ban on Judaism, which resulted in many practitioners’ converting to other religions. In fact, the community calls itself “Remnant of Israel” because they are the remaining practitioners of Judaism in their area. Lieberman and his team continue to be inspired by the people of this small village who strive to be recognized as Orthodox Jews. For more information, visit www.ugandatorah.org.

DALLAS, Texas — Each year, Dallas resident Dr. Isadore “Izzy” Lieberman travels to Uganda for a medical mission. One of the rural communities he visits is Putti; a village comprised of about 200 individuals who practice Judaism and who speak English, Luganda and Hebrew. Just over a year ago during one of his medical missions, Lieberman discovered that the village did not have an authentic Torah — just a 12-inch paper version. The Torah is an ancient, hand-written parchment scroll of the first five books of the Hebrew Bible. Lieberman made a vow to return one day with an authentic Torah. The Torah and its delivery cost approximately $25,000. This ancient scroll is essential in connecting the Jews with Hebrew traditions dating back thousands of years in a way that no other item can.

and I live with my grandmother who was my legal guardian. Last month, I found out that I am 3 months pregnant. That was a big, but somewhat exciting, surprise. Greg and I talked about what I should do, and he thought it best for me to get an abortion because of our financial situation. His parents also feel the same. My grandmother won’t advise me. I want to have and keep our baby because it doesn’t take a fortune to make a child happy; it takes love. Greg and I are in love, and we will get married next year, regardless of our decision about whether or not I should have the baby. Please give me your opinion. — Nameless, Phoenix, Ariz.

Most experts request an endoscopy. — feel that a trial of heartburn medicines, when A.S. ANSWER: I don’t GERD is suspected by its have words to express symptoms, is sufficient,

and a good response to treatment provides more evidence that the diagnosis is correct. These doctors would suggest a scope exam if GERD symptoms don’t respond to treatment. Alarms ought to ring if a person complains of pain on swallowing, an unexplained loss of weight, recurrent vomiting, and bleeding from the digestive tract. A family history of stomach cancer sounds the alarm again. These clues indicate a problem more serious than GERD and prompt a scope examination. Your story has influenced me to be more liberal with suggesting a scope exam for people with less than an airtight case for GERD. DEAR DR. DONOHUE: What exactly is artery hardening? I used to hear that word all the time. I don’t hear it used

so much lately. — J.V. ANSWER: The most common kind of artery hardening is officially called arteriosclerosis, “arterio” for “artery,” ”sclerosis” for “hardening.” And the most common kind of arteriosclerosis is atherosclerosis, hardening due to the buildup of cholesterol, fats, white blood cells and other materials. The buildup is plaque. It can block arteries and cut off blood supply to the heart and brain. Dr. Donohue regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but he will incorporate them in his column whenever possible.

Jan. 16, 1912 Emory C. Nutt, as administrator of the Sidney Grain and Milling Co., sold the plant yesterday to Fred J. Russell, John M. Blake, and Mrs. Sayer, a sister of Mr. Russell. The new owners will take charge of the business on Jan. 22. The consideration is not known. The grain elevator was much improved of recent years under the direction of Capt. E.E.

Outstanding Young Farmer of 1961 in Shelby County entered its closing stages today with announcement of appointment of three judges by Paul Hutchins, chairman of the judging committee.

You may be projecting your own feelings onto him. You’re a strong woman. Please talk to a psychologist who can help you get your head straight. Happiness is the best cosmetic there is, and once you get a handle on your emotions, you will become your old self again. DEAR READERS: Today we remember the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., who was martyred in the cause of civil rights in 1968. “Nonviolence,” he preached, “is a powerful and just weapon … which cuts without wounding and ennobles the man who wields it. It is a sword that heals.” His was a voice of reason in a time of insanity, silenced too soon.

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.

Martin Luther King Martin Luther King Jr. was born in Atlanta, Georgia in the large 12-room house of his parents on Jan. 15, 1929. His grandparents also lived in the house. He was born during a time when black people did not have the rights which they have today. M.L., as he was called, first experienced racial discrimination when their white neighbors refused to let him play with their boys. This was hard for him to understand because the boys had grown up as neighbors and had played together for years. At a later time he and his father were asked to move to the back of a shoe store to be fitted with shoes. They left without buying anything. These early incidents made a deep impression on the young boy. When he was five years old his mother persuaded the first grade teacher, Miss Dickerson, to make room for him in her class. Even though he started several weeks after the other children, he soon caught up with them academically and even surpassed them before the year was over. He attended Oglethorpe Elementary School, which was a private school associated with Atlanta University. His parents paid $25 a year, which covered all his expenses. Miss Lemon, his teacher taught him to be independent. She taught him if there was an injustice, he could rebel, but still keep his dignity and find quiet ways to resist. She inspired her students to learn about black history and take pride in their heritage. She took the class on field trips to visit with successful black businessmen and professionals. Her students started each day by singing the song, Lift Every Voice and Sing. He attended Booker T. Washington High School in Atlanta. He was younger than most of the students and also skipped some subjects because he already knew the subject matter. On one occasion he and his teacher were riding on a bus. When the bus filled up with people, the driver asked them to stand up and let two white people have their seats. It was the law. Martin saw the injustice of it, and he never forgot that incident. When he was 15 years old he entered Morehouse College. After two years in school he decided he could best serve others by becoming a min-

ister. He became assistant minister of the Ebenezer Baptist church where his father was minister. The following year he graduated from college. He was only 19 years old. He then attended Crozer Theological Seminary in Chester, Pennsylvania. While he was at Crozer he began to study the teachings of Mahatma Gandhi, a man who brought about changes in India through "passive resistance." Gandhi urged people to not fight, but to protest peacefully. Martin saw this method of non-violent resistance as the answer to the unfair treatment blacks received in America. When he was a senior at Crozer he was elected class president and also won an award as the most outstanding student. He worked on his Ph.D. at Boston University. It was there he met Coretta Scott who would become his wife. They would eventually have four children; two boys and two girls. When he graduated from Boston University he became the minister of the Dexter Avenue Baptist Church in Montgomery, Alabama. Blacks and whites were segregated in Montgomery, attending different schools and sitting in separate sections on buses. Sometimes blacks would be forced to stand on a bus even though there were empty seats in the "white" section at the front of the bus. On Dec. 1, 1955, Mrs. Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat on a bus. The police were called and she was arrested. This event led to a revolt all over America. E.D. Nixon, who was a train porter, bailed Rosa out of jail, and he started contacting others about starting a boy-

cott of the buses. "Boycott" means they would refuse to ride the buses until they received fair treatment. The newspapers heard of the plan and wrote an article. This article was very helpful in getting the word out about the boycott. The black leaders were asking for courteous treatment from the drivers and seating on a first-come, firstserved basis, with whites filling the buses from the front of the bus and blacks from the rear. No one was to be asked to give up a seat for someone else. They also wanted black drivers in the areas where they lived. The boycott lasted for more than a year and they walked, rode bicycles, and rode in car pools to get to work. In December 1956, the Supreme Court ruled that bus segregation was unlawful. In 1957, Dr. King helped establish the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) and he became its president. Black students began to stage "sitins" at lunch counters. Up until this time they had been forbidden food service at eating places. Then the "freedom riders" began riding buses from state to state and doing "sit-ins" at lunch counters and "white" waiting rooms. The Jim Crow laws that said blacks were to be denied certain rights began to be challenged in many cities in America. Peaceful marches were organized and people were arrested because they were taking part. Even little children were sprayed with water hoses and arrested! On Aug. 28, 1963, Martin Luther King and other leaders led a march into Washington, D.C. More than 200,000 people marched from the Washington Monument to the Lincoln Memorial. It was here Dr. King delivered his "I Have a Dream" message. In 1964, he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in Norway. He gave the $54,000 prize money to the civil rights groups, which were working to secure the rights blacks deserved. Dr. King was put in jail 30 times for his resistance. Some people tried to kill him. Then on April 4, 1968, a gunman did murder him in Memphis, Tennessee. His widow Coretta Scott King passed away Jan, 30, 2006. Many changes have taken place in America because of the leadership of Martin Luther King. In 1986, when Ronald Reagan was president, Congress passed a law establishing a national holiday, Martin Luther King Day.

Freedom To Vote Opinion Essay Contest Winner Camryn Moeller Grade 6 — St. Patrick In my opinion, I think voting is important. It lets us Americans give our opinion on who should be in charge of our city/town, our state, or our country. I just read the Daily Discovery and there is one sentence I absolutely agree to. “Voting makes us equal.” Voting gives us a chance to tell our opinion. Voting affects our life. Some Americans think voting is unnecessary but I think we should just be glad that we have the right to vote.

Anna ties County record Trails at half, but beats Gilmour for 36th win in a row PICKERINGTON — For the first time this season, the Anna Lady Rockets found themselves trailing at halftime in girls basketball action. But they went out in the third and quarter played like the Billing No. 1-ranked team in Ohio that they are, outscoring Gilmour Academy 18-4 to pave the way to a 53-44 victory in the Pickerington Shootout Saturday. The win puts the Lady Rockets at 13-0 on the season. In addition, they tied the

County record for consecutive wins at 36, and will likely set a new standard Thursday in their next outing, at home against Fairlawn. Head coach Jack Billing said Gilmour Academy, ranked No. 16 in the state in Division III, was focused on knocking the Lady Rockets off. “They scouted us at Tipp City and Marion Local,” said Billing. “That’s about three hours one way. We didn’t scout them at all. We’ve been focused on the County.” The Lady Rockets were outscored 14-8 in the second quarter to trail 31-26 at the half.

“We changed our press up,” Billing said. “And at times, they threw it right to us. We came out and had a 14-2 run.” Anna hit just 29 percent from the floor on 20 of 70, and even struggled at the line, hitting 13-for-22 for 59 percent. But the defense never wavered. And though the Lady Rockets didn’t shoot well, they took 25 more shots than Gilmour. Ashley Frohne scored 15 to lead Anna, Natalie Billing added 14 and Morgan Huelskamp finished with 11. Billing was dominant on the glass, pulling down 18 rebounds, 12 on the offensive end, for another double-dou-

ble. She also led the Lady Rockets in steals with five. “It was a great experience for our girls,” said Billing. “The atmosphere was great. A lot of our fans made the trip. It was a tournament atmosphere. There were a lot of real good teams there.” Anna (53) Huber 2-3-7; Huelskamp 3-5-11; Billing 6-2-14; C. Bensman 2-2-6; Frohne 7-1-15. Totals: 20-13-53.

FORT LORAMIE’S Craig Fullekamp tries to get to the ball as he battles Andrew Knapke of Minster for the ball in action Sat-

urday night at Fort Loramie. The Redskins posted a narrow win over their backyard rival in non-league boys action.

Redskins snap Minster’s streak BY MATT ZIRCHER FORT LORAMIE – Fort Loramie shot just 32 percent for the game, but made the plays it needed to down the stretch as the Redskins picked up their second win of the season here Saturday night with a 38-35 decision over backyard rival Minster. Loramie is now 2-9. The Wildcats, who entered on a four-game winning streak, are 5-5. Points were at a premium in the opening quarter as after Minster’s Devon Poeppelman hit a three and Loramie’s Jake Cordonnier converted a three-point play at the 5:43 mark to make it 5-3, neither team scored until Craig Fullenkamp made a three from the right wing just ahead of the horn to give the Redskins a fivepoint lead. The offensive struggles continued into the second stanza until back-to-back fast-break layups from Brandon Hoying and Adam Niemeyer, the Wildcats’ first two-point goals of the game, put Minster back in front 9-8 with 4:41 remaining. Another Niemeyer basket closed out the 8-0 Wildcat run before Jake Cordonnier ended the Redskin drought with a jumper at the two-minute mark. The margin was still one until another Poeppelman jumper and two Ethan Wolf

free throws in the final minute gave Minster a 17-12 halftime lead. The Wildcats made six of 17 shots in the first half for 35 percent while Loramie was just four of 22 for 18 percent. Seth Guillozet nearly matched the Redskin first half field goal total by himself in the first three minutes of the third quarter as a jumper, three pointer and layup from the junior guard tied the game at 19. Neither team then scored for the next 2:22 until Loramie closed out its 13-0 run with a Fullenkamp jumper and threes by Guillozet and Jared Albers, making it 2719. “We’ve been working with Seth and trying to make him more of an offensive threat,” said Loramie coach Karl Ratermann. “He did a great job tonight and really gave us a spark.” “Guillozet had an outstanding third quarter and that letthem claw back into it,” said Minster coach Mike Lee. “On the flip side, you just can’t go without scoring for as long of stretches as we did tonight.” Back came Minster, though, as the Wildcats gradually chipped away and only trailed 31-30 following backto-back scores by Austin Knapke, the second with 4:33 to play. Austin Luebke hit the second of two free throws to give Loramie a two-point edge at

the 1:53 mark and, on the Redskins’ next possession, Kyle Miracle connected on a three from the right corner to make it 35-30 with 1:02 left. Niemeyer answered right back with a three, but after a Minster timeout, Loramie quickly extended the lead to four as Albers, on the inbounds play, hit Guillozet on a long pass for a layup. Following two Wolf free throws at the 34.8-second mark, however, the Wildcats had two chances to tie or take the lead thanks to a Niemeyer steal and a later missed foul shot by the Redskins. Minster, though, came away empty on both and Luebke made it a three-point game with 1.3 seconds left as he gathered in the offensive rebound on another missed free throw and hit one of two from the stripe. The Wildcats had one final chance, but the inbound pass was knocked away as the game ended. “This is a great confidence booster for us,” said Ratermann. “We’ve lost a lot of games in the fourth quarter, so for us to be able to hold on and battle like we did is a good sign.” “We found a way to make some plays late and we haven’t been doing that so far this season,” added the Loramie coach. “Hopefully we will be able to do more of that during the second half of the year.”

“We knew that this was going to be a game of limited possessions,” said Lee. “A fivepoint lead like we had at halftime seemed like it would be a little larger than that, but give Loramie credit, they kept battling and battling and hit a couple of big shots at the end.” Minster again shot 35 percent in the second half while the Redskins made nine of 19 shots, including four of six three-pointers, to finish at 32 percent overall. Loramie also led 11-4 in second-chance points thanks to an 11-6 edge in offensive rebounds. Guillozet scored 10 of his game-high 14 points in the third quarter while Cordonnier added nine for the Redskins. Niemeyer had eight to pace Minster while Poeppelman had seven. Doug Huber collected 10 rebounds. Minster (35) Knapke 2-0-4; Niemeyer 3-1-8; Poeppelman 3-0-7; R. Hoying 2-1-6; Huber 1-2-4; B. Hoying 1-0-2; Wolf 04-4. Totals: 12-8-35.

JC dominates for 11th straight win NEW KNOXVILLE — The unbeaten Jackson Center Tigers posted another impressive win Saturday night, invading New Knoxville and dominating a good Ranger team to come away with a 51-32 victory in non-league boys basketball action. The win puts the Tigers at a perfect 11-0 on the season while dropping the Rangers to 4-6. “We played outstanding defense,” said Jackson head coach Scott Elchert. “It started with Andy Hoying and the job he did on Lucas Leffel. Leffel is a big scorer for them and Andy held him to nine. And they were a hard-earned nine.” The Tigers held the Rangers to just 12 points in the first half, enabling them to open up a 30-12 bulge after two periods. The margin reached 4417 at one point late in the third quarter before the Rangers scored the final five points of the period. But it was still 44-22 with one period to play. Trey Elchert got the Tigers off to the fast start. He finished with 12 points, all on threepointers, and three of those came in the opening period. “There was no doubt they were focusing on Andy,” Elchert said of Hoying. “Every time he got the ball, he was double-teamed. So it was good to see other kids stepping up. We had good balance again. “It was a good weekend for us,” he added in reference to Friday night’s lopsided win over Fort Loramie. “They were two well-established programs. And we

We got ourselves in a hole in the second quarter and couldn’t dig ourselves out. We played a real good second half, but we couldn’t get close enough before we had to start fouling. And they were 18-for-22 from the foul line.” Solomon King-White led the Cavaliers with 21 points. Alex Baker was held to 11 points, 10 below his average.

Cavaliers fall to Lima Bath LIMA — The Lehman Cavaliers saw their record fall to 6-6 on the season with a 69-60 loss to Lima Bath in boys basketball action at Lima Saturday. The Cavaliers had a strong opening quarter, trailing just 15-14, but the Wildcats put some distance between the two teams in the second quarter and led 35-23. The Cavs trailed by 13 going into the final period and got the deficit down to five at one point

HOUSTON — Houston came from eight down at the half to take a 37-33 lead in the third quarter, but OttawaGlandorf came back to post a 47-42 victory over the Wildcats in nonleague boys basketball action here Saturday. The loss leaves Houston at 4-7 on the year. OG goes to 8-3. “That third quarter was probably the best basketball we’ve played all year,” said Houston coach John Willoughby. “Ottawa-Glandorf was

out to a 15-3 lead. By the end of the third quarter, it was 39-18, but head coach Brett Meyer wasn’t taking any chances. “We knew they would not go away,” he said. “They came back on Minster Friday night. So we challenged our guys after the third quarter to keep them under 30 points. I thought our defense did a good job all night.” Ethan Zimpfer led Botkins with 12 points and was the only player in the game in double figures. The Trojans had four other players with

Sidney High girls win Bearcat Classic

Bucks rout Indiana COLUMBUS (AP) — Lenzelle Smith Jr. has been the weakest offensive player for Ohio State, so it seemed only natural that Indiana coach Tom Crean would choose to have his defense apply more pressure on the other Buckeyes. That strategy backfired when Smith had the best game of his career. Smith more than doubled his career high with 28 points on Sunday to lead No. 5 Ohio State to a surprisingly easy 8063 victory over seventhranked Indiana. “Throughout the game I just saw my man leave me every single time,” said Smith, who came in averaging 5.2 points a game. “The first game (against Indiana), I was complaining about that to my team. This game we capitalized that and we were able to get some easy buckets.” There was no way Indiana was going to allow All-American forward Jared Sullinger to have his way inside. Crean didn’t apologize for leaving Smith all alone on the perimeter. “Lenzelle is averaging four shots a game. Look it up,” Crean said after talking to his team for more than a half hour after the game. “He really played well. He played well at our place, but they’ve got a lot of good players. That’s why they’re as good as they are.” Smith, who missed practice on Thursday and Friday with a bad case of strep throat, made the most of almost every chance he had. “That’s kind of like a coach’s dream when you see it going in there,” Ohio State coach Thad Matta said of Smith’s shooting. “Because you’re making them pay for the adjustment that they’re making. He did a tremendous job with that.” Sullinger added 16 points, William Buford 12 and Deshaun Thomas 11 for the Buckeyes (163, 4-2 Big Ten), who were coming off a loss at Illinois on Tuesday night. Several players questioned their teammates’ commitment and effort

High school sports after that game. There was no doubt about either on Sunday as Ohio State took command early and was never threatened. Smith was the No. 1 reason. Smith, who came in scoring about five points per game, erased almost every offensive highwater mark he had ever had in a game. He hit 10 of 12 shots from the field including 4 of 5 3-pointers. He also had seven rebounds, an assist and a steal. Matta joked that he was going to try to give each of his players a case of strep throat. Earlier this week, Ohio State’s players vowed to pay back the Hoosiers for a 74-71 loss back on New Year’s Eve. In that game, the Buckeyes had 17 turnovers and 22 fouls. Sullinger got off just five shots from the field, Buford finished with eight points and Thomas scored just five points, due to foul trouble. In addition, point guard Aaron Craft had a career-high six turnovers. Smith’s previous career best was 12 in that game. He had surpassed that with almost 3 minutes left in the opening

half on Sunday. “He came to the sideline after he took that pull-up transition shot (that he missed),” Sullinger said with a grin. “He was, like, ‘My bad, guys.’ I said, ‘Hey, you’re on. Keep shooting it!’ I had no problem with it.” The Buckeyes had the game well in hand throughout the second half after finishing the half on a 15-2 run to build a 35-14 advantage. Yet they energized a raucous capacity crowd of 18,809 at Value City Arena with several plays in the final 20 minutes. Sullinger wrestled the ball away from a driving Hulls and tossed an outlet pass while lying on the floor — Smith threw down a thunderous dunk at the other end to make it 47-23 with 15:23 left. The lead never fell below 16 after halftime. Cody Zeller had 16 points, Christian Watford 13 and Jordan Hulls 11 for the Hoosiers (15-3, 33), who had lost at home to unranked Minnesota on Wednesday night. The game was the first Indiana has played against another top 10 team since 2002 and the Hoosiers’ first visit to an opponent also ranked in single digits since 1992.

Three Sidney wrestlers place at Top Gun event wrestler 8-5. “Both those wins were over quality opponents,” McCracken said. In the consolation semifinals, he was matched against the wrestler who beat him, and this time it went to overtime. He lost another heartbreaker, 4-2. Cody Davis was seventh at 126 pounds and reached the quarterfinals with 15-1 and 8-6 wins. In the next bout, he went overtime and lost 9-5. In the consolations, he gained a pin, then lost 74. In his final match for seventh, he won 8-3 in overtime to up his record to 19-6. Mason Calvert at 135 was also seventh. He reached the quarterfinals with 12-4 and 10-6 wins. “He looked as impressive as he has all year in those matches,” said McCracken. In the quarterfinals, he met a wrestler from Walsh who McCracken said is ranked in the top

two in the country. Calvert trailed just 4-1 after one period, but lost 20-5. He came back to win his next match 8-5, then lost 11-2. He won his final match 8-6 and is now 29-4 on the season. Those three were named McCracken’s wrestlers of the week. Alex Willman was 3-2 in the tournament and is now 20-7, and at 160, Ryan Penley was 2-2 and is now 16-8. Maurice Ickes was also two matches from placing.

Reserves The Sidney reserve team competed at the Mason Reserve Tournament. Jared Tangeman at 120, Jeremiah Slagle at 132 and Dionte Findley at 195 were all first in their pool, and Luke Dahlinghaus at 113, Rhett Rosengarten at 132 and Noah Straman at 182 were all second. The varsity is off until Jan. 25 at Piqua.

regular games and five baker games and the teams were positioned in order of scores after the two regular games. “The pattern was their house shot and was shorter and dryer than our house shot,” said Sidney coach Angie Mentges. “The girls found the pocket by moving outside and letting it walk into the pocket.” In the first game, Sidney rolled a 939, with Michelle Abbott rolling a 192, Bethany Pellman 192, Shelbie Anderson 191, Ashleigh Harris 187 and Ally Kittle 176. “The girls did a great job of covering spares,” said Mentges. “In the second regular game, the pattern opened up and we had a lot of room to swing the ball.” Sidney rolled a 1015,

with Pellman having a 234, Kittle 232, Anderson 201, Harris 187 and Abbott 161. The girls were 223 pins ahead of second place McCauley and as Mentges said, “pretty much out of reach. The other teams simply fought it out for second place.” Pellman took top honors in the tournament, and Kittle was fourth, earning both all-tournament honors. The Sidney boys finished seventh overall, and had scores of 1037 and 918 in the two regular games. Trent Knoop had a 245 and 197, Jacob Blankenship 201 and 236, Luke Goubeaux had a 233 and Kegan Latimer 202. Sidney hosts Trotwood Tuesday at 4 p.m.

ALLIANCE — Sidney finished 27th out of 43 teams in the Top Gun Wrestling Tournament held in Alliance Friday and Saturday. “We took eight wrestlers and all but one won a match,” said Sidney coach Jim McCracken. “We had three placers and another lost in the placement match, and two others were two matches from placing. All and all, not a bad weekend considering the level of competition. Three placers at Top Gun is very impressive. I think we’re moving in the right direction. I was pleased with the effort.” Derek Spangler finished sixth at 152. He won his first two matches easily, one on a 27-second pin and the other an 18-1 technical fall. He lost his third bout 3-1 but went on to win two more matches in the consolation, pinning one opponent and beating a North Canton Hoover
