Police arrest burglary suspect BY JENNIFER BUMGARNER jbumgarner@sdnccg.com A nearly six-hour standoff ended Wednesday after a suspected burglar attempted to run from police. Sean M. Fisher, 33, of Spruce Avenue was arrested on Wednesday following an incident which started a little after 6 a.m. at the Village West Apartments, 500 Vandemark Road. The incident began when Sidney police received a call from a resident about a suspicious person at apartment 54. Police arrived on the scene and set up a perimeter around the building where the suspect was seen. They attempted to contact the person through the public address system, but received no response.
The Shelby County Tactical Response Team also arrived on the scene shortly after 7 a.m. As police assessed the situation, a woman with two small children exited the apartment building. The woman told police that the man had come through her ceiling. According to Chief Kevin Gessler, each apartment building has six units with a crawl space in the attic which connects the units. There are fire walls between the attics and it appeared that Fisher broke through the fire wall which gave him access to all six apartments. The situation ended when Fisher tried to flee from the apartment building around noon. He was quickly apprehended by police.
“There was an inner perimeter and an outer perimeter,” said Gessler. “He was not going to get away but he did take advantage of an opportunity to try to stun the officers with regard to him just making an immediate run to try to get away.” Gessler commended the resident who first alerted police to a potential situation and added that it is best for suspects in situations to just give themselves up. “It could’ve been a much more dangerous situation,” said Gessler. “It is important for residents to contact the police when they notice something suspicious or out of place.” According to Gessler, there were more than 40 personnel on the scene including Sidney police and Piqua police officers See STANDOFF/Page 2
Vance pleads guilty to reduced charges BY JENNIFER BUMGARNER jbumgarner@sdnccg.com Vance Allen Short pleaded guilty Wednesday in Shelby County Common Pleas Court to reduced charges brought against him in the cold case murder of Gregory A. Trapp in May of 1998. Charges of aggravated murder and murder were dismissed and Short admitted to charges of conspiracy to commit murder and complicity to commit aggravated burglary, both felonies of the first degree. A bill of information was presented to the court
Wednesday afternoon shortly before he changed his plea. According to Shelby County Sheriff John Lenhart, the deal had been discussed prior to the change of plea. “I would say it has been in consideration for a short period of time and that the prosecution and defense were talking,” said Lenhart. “It came about from Mr. Trapp being released. At that point Mr. Short decided he wanted to plead.” A co-defendant in the case, SDN Photo/Jennifer Bumgarner For photo reprints, visit www.sidneydailynews.com William Trapp Jr., the victim’s brother, was released from VANCE SHORT (right) entered a guilty plea of guilty to charges custody recently due to severe in Shelby County Common Pleas Court Wednesday afternoon See GUILTY/Page 2 as his attorney, William Kluge, looks on.

From Page 1 Short was also previously convicted of tampering with evidence in connection with the case several months after the murder. He reportedly removed two duffel bags from the scene of the murder and hid them in a nearby woods. He later said that the bags contained marijuana and he had hidden them in an attempt to protect Greg Trapp. He was sentenced in 1999 to probation for his misdemeanor conviction for tampering with evidence, but he was ordered in 2001 to serve a prison term of 18 months which had been suspended on a probation violation charge, after he was charged in Miami County on several counts of forgery and receiving stolen property. In another case, Short was recently subpoenaed to testify in the Jamie Seitz trial. Short was served Dec. 27 before the trial date was changed. He was also served Jan. 12 to appear Feb. 15. Seitz was first arrested following a Dec. 16, 2010 incident in which he is alleged to have abducted and assaulted a 27-yearold 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. Seitz was convicted last May of one count of attempted murder, one count of felonious assault and three counts of kidnapping. Judge James Stevenson overturned the verdict and granted Seitz a new trial in August, following testimony by three jurors 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.

Campaign buys ad time WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama launched his first television ad of his reelection campaign, defending his energy record against criticism from a Republican-leaning outside group in a sign that the presidential race is entering a new phase even though Republicans have yet to pick a challenger. The ad, released Wednesday, responds to a $6 million ad campaign by a group backed by the billionaire Koch brothers accusing Obama of conducting pay-for-play politics in the bankruptcy of California energy company Solyndra, which imploded despite a $528 million federal loan. Obama’s ad opens by citing “secretive billionaires attacking President Obama with ads factcheckers say are not tethered to the facts.” It says that the president has added 2.7 million clean energy jobs while reducing the nation’s dependence on foreign oil, calling Obama’s record on ethics “unprecedented.”

Romney ignites tax furor SPARTANBURG, S.C. (AP) — Mitt Romney tried doggedly Wednesday to sidestep the political furor he had started a day earlier by revealing he pays federal taxes at a rate of about 15 percent, less than millions of middle-income American families. Facing a new controversy, his campaign confirmed that Romney has money invested in the Cayman Islands but said he was not getting any tax break. Newt Gingrich, his main rival in this weekend’s South Carolina primary, poked at Romney anew and disclosed that his personal tax rate is more than double that of Romney.
Peace Corps pulls out TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras (AP) — The U.S. government’s decision to pull out all its Peace Corps volunteers from Honduras for safety reasons is yet another blow to a nation still battered by a coup and recently labeled the world’s most deadly country. Neither U.S. nor Honduran officials have said specifically what prompted them to withdraw the 158 Peace Corps volunteers, which the U.S. State Department said was one of the largest missions in the world last year. It is the first time Peace Corps missions have been withdrawn from Central America since civil wars swept the region in the 1970s and 1980s.

Obama rejects Canada to Texas pipeline — for now WASHINGTON (AP) — In a politically explosive decision, President Barack Obama on Wednesday rejected plans for a massive oil pipeline through the heart of the United States, ruling there was not enough time for a fair review before a looming deadline forced on him by Republicans. His move did not kill the project but could again delay a tough choice for him until after the November elections. Right away, the implications rippled across the political spectrum, stirred up the presidential campaign and even hardened feelings with Canada, a trusted U.S. ally and neighbor. For a U.S. electorate eager for work, the pipeline has become the very symbol of job creation for Republicans, but Obama says the environment and public safety must still be weighed too. The plan by Calgary-based TransCanada Corp. would carry tar sands oil from western Canada across a 1,700mile pipeline across six U.S. states to Texas refineries. Obama was already on record as saying no, for now, until his government could review an alternative route that avoided environmentally sensitive areas of Nebraska — a route that still has not been proposed, as the White House emphasizes. But Obama had to take a stand again by Feb. 21 at the latest as part of an unrelated tax deal he cut with Republicans. This time, the project would

Mom gives birth on train NEW YORK (AP) — A New Jersey woman got the morning commute of her life when she gave birth to her first child on a PATH commuter train to New York. The 31-year-old woman, Rabita Sarkar, of Harrison, N.J., said she had started feeling contraction-like pains but didn't think they were real because her baby wasn’t due yet. She and her 30-year-old husband decided to travel into the city to have her checked out Monday. They didn’t want to drive and decided to take the train from Harrison into the city instead, thinking they could then take a taxi to Manhattan’s Roosevelt Hospital, where her doctors are. “It’s just that this guy had other plans, and he came out earlier,” Sarkar said as she held her infant son in her arms in the hospital.
In response to President Obama’s rejection of TransCanada’s application to build the Keystone pipeline, Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Urbana, issued the following statement: “The law clearly says the President can only block this project if he determines it ‘would not serve the national interest.’ How are thousands of new jobs, cheaper energy and greater security not in our national interest? “With this decision, the President has chosen to side with radical environmentalists over the American people. Those hurt most by his decision are the millions of Americans who need these jobs the most.” might try again to force a decision. The State Department said the decision was made “without prejudice,” meaning TransCanada can submit a new application once a new route is established. Russ Girling, TransCanada’s president and chief executive officer, said the company plans to do exactly that. If approved, the pipeline could begin operation as soon as 2014, Girling said.

Body parts found LOS ANGELES (AP) — Los Angeles police have discovered two feet in the same area where a severed human head and two hands were found, and investigators are continuing to search for more remains. Officer Cleon Joseph says authorities will need to run tests to confirm that the body parts belong to the same person. Dog walkers found the head found wrapped in a plastic bag on Tuesday. The hands were discovered nearby earlier Wednesday. Police Cmdr. Andrew Smith says the man may have been killed elsewhere in recent days and his body dumped in the park in the Hollywood Hills.

The $450 million Costa Concordia cruise ship was carrying more than 4,200 passengers and crew when it slammed into a reef Friday off the tiny Italian island of Giglio after the captain made an unauthorized maneuver.

Tales emerge of missing, dead ROME (AP) — An Italian dad and his 5-year-old daughter. A retired American couple treating themselves after putting four children through college. A Hungarian musician who helped crying children into lifejackets, then disappeared while trying to retrieve his beloved violin from his cabin. As details emerged Wednesday about the missing and the dead in the grounding of the Costa Concordia, the captain was quoted as saying he tripped and fell into the water from the listing vessel and never intended to abandon his passengers. The search for the 21 people still unaccounted for in the disaster ground to a halt after the cruise liner shifted again on its rocky perch off the Tuscan island of Giglio, making it too dangerous for divers to continue. Rough seas were forecast for the next few days. The bad weather also postponed the start of the weekslong operation to extract the half-million gallons of fuel on board the vessel, as Italy’s environment minister warned Parliament of the ecological implications if the ship sinks.
The $450 million Costa Concordia was carrying more than 4,200 passengers and crew when it slammed into a reef and capsized Friday after the captain made an unauthorized diversion from his programmed route and strayed into the perilous waters. Capt. Francesco Schettino, who was jailed after he left the ship before everyone was safely evacuated, was placed under house arrest Tuesday, facing possible charges of manslaughter, causing a shipwreck and abandoning his ship. The ship’s operator, Crociere Costa SpA, has accused Schettino of causing the wreck by making the unapproved detour, and the captain has acknowledged carrying out what he called a “tourist navigation” that brought the ship closer to Giglio. Costa has said such a navigational “fly by” was done last Aug. 9-10, after being approved by the company and Giglio port authorities. However, Lloyd’s List Intelligence, a leading maritime publication, said Wednesday its tracking of the ship’s August route showed it actually
took the Concordia slightly closer to Giglio than the course that caused Friday’s disaster. “This is not a black-andwhite case,” Richard Meade, editor of Lloyd’s List, said in a statement. “Our data suggests that both routes took the vessel within 200 meters (yards) of the impact point and that the authorized route was actually closer to shore.” New audio of Schettino’s communications with the coast guard during the crisis emerged Wednesday, with the captain claiming he ended up in a life raft after he tripped and fell into the water. “I did not abandon a ship with 100 people on board, the ship suddenly listed and we were thrown into the water,” Schettino said, according to a transcript published Wednesday in the Corriere della Sera paper. Initial audio of Schettino’s conversations made headlines on Tuesday, showing an increasingly exasperated coast guard officer ordering Schettino back on board to direct the evacuation, and the captain resisting, saying it was too dark and the ship was tipping.
LOS ANGELES (AP) — In a move that heightens the growing tension between Silicon Valley and Hollywood, Wikipedia and other websites went dark Wednesday in protest of two congressional proposals intended to thwart the online piracy of copyrighted movies and TV programs. The web-based encyclopedia is part of a loose coalition of dot-coms and large technology companies that fear Congress is prepared to side with Hollywood and enact extreme measures — possibly including the blocking of entire websites— to stop the online sharing and unauthorized use of Hollywood productions. The fight will test which California-based industry has the most sway in Washington. For now, Silicon Valley appears to have the upper hand. Supporters of the legislation — called the Stop Online Piracy Act in the House and the Protect Intellectual Property Act in the Senate — say the bills are aimed at protecting jobs in the movie and music industries. But a campaign including tech heavyweights such as Google Inc. and Yahoo Inc. has successfully portrayed the bills as an attack on a free and open Internet. “It has nothing to do with stolen songs or movies,” said Justin Ruben, executive director of MoveOn.org, which is participating in the blackout. Ruben says tougher legislation — even directed overseas — could make domestic cultural commentators more prone to legal attack. Rather than showing encyclopedia articles, Wikipedia displayed a blacked-out page describing the protest and offering more information on the bills. Many articles were still viewable on cached pages. Reddit.com shut down its social news service for 12 hours. Other sites made their views clear without cutting off services. Google blacked out the logo on its home page, directing people to a page where they could add their names to a petition.

Less than a week later, I responded to a medical emergency call at a local youth spot. When I arrived, Jane Doe lay on the floor of the girls’ restroom — dead. In her hand, she still held the plastic bag that she had used to inhale her last breath containing the fumes of correction fluid. Jane Doe died of respiratory failure. — Allan Mullen, Kingman, Ariz., Police Department.

a police officer working exclusively with students ranging from preschool through high school. Recently, I was witness to a tragic incident involving a young lady and the practice, so-called, of “whiting out” (sniffing typewriter correction fluid). Our agency was requested to check out three kids acting strangely in the rear of a local shopping center. I was the responding officer and found two girls and a boy about 15 years of age. Their nostrils and upper lips were covered with correction fluid and all of them had reached their “high.” Their intoxicated actions included being stuporous with a total disregard for their personal well-being. One girl, who appeared to be the promoter of the incident,

Red Skelton tribute almost sold out The Gateway Arts Council Board of Directors learned during its meeting Monday that there are fewer than 100 tickets still to be sold for a show that is a tribute to Red Skelton. The organization will present the show at Sid-
ney High School in February. The group discussed other upcoming arts council projects including the Spring Fling art show, a sculpture exhibit that will be in the gallery soon and the group’s 25th anniver-
sary commemoration. The board also discussed the current exhibit of artworks by area high school students. It runs through Jan. 27 in the gallery at 216 N. Miami Ave. Admission is free.
Hayner plans musical exploration TROY — The TroyHayner Cultural Center, 301 W. Main St., will present an opportunity for the public to participate in a musical exploration with Hal Walker Jan. 28 at 7:30 p.m. The concert is free and open to the public. Walker is a singer, a songwriter and a musical explorer. A veteran solo performer, Walker is truly one-of-a-kind. His warm, passionate style engages audiences of all
ages. He improvises and composes on unique musical instruments that most audiences probably never seen before. Among them, the khaen, a long, bamboo-fashioned wind instrument from Northeast Thailand and grandmother of the harmonica, and the banakulas, two gourd shakers tied together with a string, that children in West Africa walk down the street playing, one in each hand.
Walker grew up in Kent, blowing a harmonica along the banks of the Cuyahoga River. He traveled around the United States playing his music. And his love of the Buckeye state is sincere. His album, “Home in Ohio,” bears witness to that fact. “I write songs about connection,” he said. “I think that’s the interesting thing about my music. It engages people.”

The school-level bee, at which students answered oral questions on geography, was the first round in the 22nd annual National geography Bee. The National Geographic Society sponsors the bee.

Baker’s heating up the icebox! BY: ABBY CIRIEGIO A new basketball sensation is on the loose at Lehman High School. Not only is he rising in the national rankings, but he’s heating up the “icebox� as well! This 6’3� senior star can be none other than Alex Baker. Alex has come a long way from his first basketball hoops Alex and his fan at age three, and has created Turner Lachey quite the name for himself during his high school basketball career. “I hate to fail and basketball has just been one of those things that I feel I was born to do,� says Baker. “I am constantly trying to improve my game and become a better player because it’s what I love to do!� Baker along with fellow seniors, Solomon KingWhite and Ben Theiman, lead the team as captains and have experienced a fairly successful season thus far with a record of 6-4. “I can’t say that I am disappointed with our season so far, but I am definitely not super happy about it,� says Baker. “I just think that we have a lot of potential this year and are definitely state worthy. I mean if Houston can do it (last year) then we can do it!� Even though his season may not be as successful as he hoped by this point, Baker’s career stats are at an all time high! Alex is first in the state and fifth in the nation in the number of three-pointers per game, as well as eighth in the state in the number of points per game averaging about twenty-two points! “It feels awesome to know that I am both nationally and state ranked, but to be honest I wouldn’t have any of this without my team. I mean without them I’d be like a hoop without a net, totally lost!� says Baker. The Lehman community is not the only one noticing Baker’s success. Alex has been scouted by a number of Division II colleges including Ohio Dominican, Heidelberg, and Muskingum University. Although he was flattered by all the offers, none of them seem to be a fit for him. Instead, Alex plans on attending Miami University where he will major in business. Alex is also in contact with the head basketball coach at Miami, and hopes that he can further his basketball career at MU. But, whatever lies ahead for Alex we know that he will succeed and be a genuine slam dunk!
The experience of a lifetime BY: KENNEDY MCIVER “I’m pumped,� said Emilee Proffitt about being one of the select few chosen for the Yech Scholarship Program at The Dayton Art Institute. Emilee is one of the 12 high school art students to be accepted into the program through a competitive portfolio process. Each student had to submit a one-page essay about the importance of art in their life and a portfolio containing three pieces of 2-D artwork, three slides or photos of 3-D Emilee works on her latest artwork, or a combination. painting These 12 high school students will attend eight weeks of intensive college-level art classes on Thursday evenings starting in February through early April. Their mentors will be the four college students who have received Yech College Artist Fellowships. Both the fellowship and scholarship programs are offered through the Dorothy and Bill Yech Education Endowment to promote and enhance the development of young and promising artists. “I am extremely blessed to be given this opportunity to enhance my artistic ability,� said Proffitt. This will really help Emilee for the next chapter of her life. “I want art to be involved in my life through college and when choosing a career. I want to become an art teacher so I can show my students my love and passion for art.� To get where she is today, Emilee has worked extremely hard and has a lot of determination. Mrs. Grant, current art teacher at Lehman, has been very helpful with her journey. “She is a wonderful student and I am very proud that she has created a portfolio so outstanding to be accepted into this honorable position,� said Grant.
Making a difference BY: EMILY BENSMAN Students of Lehman realize that small steps to a better world truly make a difference. A “jeans day� at Lehman is not only a day for students to wear something different than the daily uniforms, but also an opportunity for them to help a great cause. On a “jeans day�, the students bring in $3 to wear jeans. All of the money collected goes to a variety of causes and organizations. Lehman’s next “jeans day�, January 19, is dedicated to muscular dystrophy. You may be wondering what muscular dystrophy is. “Muscular dystrophy is a group of inherited disorders that involve muscle weakness and loss of muscle tissue, which get worse over time.� (www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov) There are several different types of muscular dystrophy. They include: Becker muscular dystrophy, Duchenne muscular dystrophy, Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy, Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy, Limb-girdle muscular dystrophy, Myotonia congenita, and Myotonic dystrophy. The different types of the disease vary in severity. Some are deadly, while others have more minor effects and the patient can live a normal lifespan. The type of dystrophy can be determined by medical history, a physical examination, and the different symptoms. A muscle biopsy may be needed, but typically a DNA blood test is enough. There also may be tests for the heart, nerves, and blood. Muscular dystrophy can happen at any point in someone’s life, but it is the most severe when a person is diagnosed as a child. Each type brings different symptoms. Some types affect all muscles, while others affect only groups of muscles. Symptoms include: mental retardation, muscle weakness that slowly gets worse, delayed development of muscle motor skills, difficulty using one or more muscle groups, drooling, eyelid drooping, frequent falls, loss of strength in a muscle or group of muscles as an adult, loss in muscle size, and problems walking. Now that you know a little bit more about Muscular Dystrophy, you may be wondering about the treatment. Unfortunately there is no cure for the disorders, but medical treatments can control the symptoms. Orthopedic appliances can help improve mobility. Physical therapy can help patients maintain muscle strength. Sometimes surgery is needed, which may improve muscle function. Inactivity tends to make the patients disorder even worse. For children affected by the disease, corticosteroids are sometimes taken to keep them walking as long as possible. Most of us are more fortunate than others and it is important to recognize this so we can help. There are many things in the world that could use a kind action and it is our duty to so. Something just as simple as a “jeans day� can truly make a difference.

In whom do A third way to adwe invest power to dress an issue is
through religion. Religion at its heart is about creating and distributing covenantal goods. Covenantal goods are the things of relationships — bonds of love and trust, faithfulness to one another, doing together what cannot be done separately. Unlike the arenas of politics and economics, this arena is not about creating winners and losers. Giving love to another, for example, creates the potential of receiving love in return. Our national conversation this year (and I dare say for a while now) is focused almost exclusively on the first two arenas: politics and economics. These two arenas are engaged in an epic battle over which one should have the upper hand. This fight
could be billed as “Big Government” vs. “Big Business.” Certainly I have strong views on what I deem as the “proper” distribution of wealth and power in our country. Perhaps you do as well. Yet as a Christian, I am compelled to engage my faith in this conversation. So I turn to the Scriptures to find examples of “covenantal goods.” In Genesis 9, I hear of the covenant God made with all of humanity through Noah. This reminds me that when destructive forces seem capable of overwhelming everything, God calls us to into relationships that are nurtured by the diverse and creative forces of life. Diversity is a sign of God’s presence among us and a gift from God can ben-
efit us all. In the Gospels, I hear of the covenant Jesus made with us through his disciples through the breaking of bread. This reminds me that in a world of broken relationships and betrayal, the Spirit’s presence can transform and heal wounds. No relationship is too damaged or fractured for the healing presence of Christ. It may be only a small change for us — seeing the diversity found in the economic and political world as a gift and one that we are called to faithfully engage — but it opens the door for God’s transformative power. The writer is priestin-charge at St. Mark’s Episcopal Church in Sidney.

Community Pro-Life Service set Seventy crosses are lined in front of the Versailles Knights of Columbus Hall. Each cross represents 250,000 deaths by abortion in the United States since Roe v. Wade. This month marks the 39th anniversary of the Supreme Court’s legalization of abortion, which Pope Benedict XVI has called “today’s gravest injustice.” For people who can’t attend the Right to Life March in Washington, D.C., there will be a Community Pro-Life Prayer Service at the Versailles K of C Hall on Sunday at 7 p.m. Prayers will be led by the Rev. David Zink.
Archdiocese to recognize scouts CINCINNATI — More than 100 Catholic Cub Scouts, Webelos, Boy Scouts and Venturers will receive religious emblems from the Archdiocese of Cincinnati Catholic Committee on Scouting in a ceremony at the Cathedral of St. Peter in Chains at 2 p.m. Sunday. An additional 500-plus family members and friends are expected to be in attendance as the Parvuli Dei, Ad Altare
Dei, and Pope Pius XII emblems are presented to these Catholic scouts in recognition of requirements completed. Forty-four adults involved in Catholic Scouting throughout the archdiocese will also be acknowledged during the Cathedral ceremony. They were presented with Certificates of Recognition, Bronze Pelican and St. George Awards in a ceremony last December.
The Trinity Church of the Brethren, 2220 N. Main Ave., on New Year’s Day received a peace pole donated by Fumio and Kyoko Arakawa. The Arakawas are from Japan but living in Sidney, through Honda. A peace pole is a four-sided pole that has the phrase “may peace prevail on earth” written on each side in four different languages. Peace poles were first created by Masahisa Goy in 1955 in Japan. The World Peace Prayer Society began distributing peace poles around the world in 1983, and since then approximately 100,000 peace poles have been placed in more than 180 countries. Kyoko has been active in promoting world peace through the World Peace Prayer Society since the first World Peace Prayer and Flag Ceremony in Los Angeles in 1986. Her husband, Fumio, became active shortly after that. The Church of the Brethren has a 300-year history of being a “Peace Church.” Part of the basis for its position stems from the Hebrew word “shalom,” which has to do with health, unity, wholeness and the well-being of all creation. The church takes literally Jesus’ statement, “blessed are the peacemakers,” and has sought to work for a fair and just peace for all people. Key elements in the peace stance have been involvement in service and relief efforts in war-torn countries. When Kyoko learned that the Church of the Brethren promotes peace and that its peace pole had been destroyed sev-

Brent Driver, Susan Driver, Tyler Rabbani (the Drivers’ grandson), Kyoko Arakawa and Fumio Arakawa. eral years ago, she and her husband wanted to give the church this gift. The dedication ceremony consisted of praying for peace for all of the countries of the world by name, as Kyoko showed flags from each one, with the congregation responding, “may peace prevail on earth.” It was a meaningful experience and the church thanked the Arakawas for their gift, church members said.

JOY BAKER (left) and Barbara McDermit, both of Sidney, enjoy a game of shuffleboard at the Senior Center during a recent Friday Night Out. Other activities that night included cards, Wii and ping pong.
Raible tells seniors, ‘Tourism is big business’ Local center also reports recent $10,000 anonymous donation Senior Center memlearned that bers tourism is big business when Jeff Raible, president of the SidneyShelby County Chamber of Commerce, gave the keynote address during their January carry-in luncheon meeting recently. Raible’s focus was the Visitors Bureau whose motto is to “Advance, Encourage, Promote.” Tourism generates jobs and income, he told the group. Sidney and Shelby County have many things to offer travelers: parks, bike paths, Lake Loramie, events including soccer and basketball weekends and the historical society, to mention a few. A 12-member advisory council keeps information of local activities and events current. Visitor guides are placed in hotels/motels, restaurants and AAA offices in areas leading into Sidney-Shelby County. Members who helped Director David McKay to serve the luncheon, sponsored by Dorothy Love, at the Senior Center were LuAnn Presser of Dorothy Love with
Robin Supinger and Jim Davis of the American Cancer Society. Winners of the drawings were Kathy Crager for birthday, Dorothy Weiskittle and Betty Metz won attendance, and the Milestone Raffle went to Darrell Henson. McKay announced a euchre tournament will be Feb. 9 at the center. Doors will open at 5 p.m. and play will begin at 6 p.m. Participants need to register in advance and pay a $10 entry fee. The Swing Era Band will be playing at 2 p.m. Feb. 12. Vera Piper asked members to supply cookies for this free concert. March 31 is the date of the smorgasbord, and there is a paper for members to sign for the food item they wish to donate. Rose Swiger told of the card party on April 25. Attendees need to pay $6 to play. Members were asked to contribute $3 door prizes. Secretary Blanche McClain reported a new record was set in 2011 for the number of visits to the center at 31,681. It was announced that

Drawing to be held 2/1/12
Elvis made an appearance at Heritage Manor in Minster, Jan. 6. He entertained residents, family members and friends and distributed scarves, teddy bears and other memorabilia to the crowd. The Heritage Manor staff participated in the fun by dressing in their favorite ’50s outfits and decorating the dining room with old record sleeves and a life-size, standing poster of Elvis to greet residents at the door. Here, he poses for the camera with Heritage Manor employees Pat Schwartz (left) and Patty Timmerman.

Shelby County Alzheimer’s Support Group Meeting
7 p.m. - Amos Community Center
QUICK READS NB group plans meeting
Jenny Rogers, of Sidney Parks and Recreation, is leading the chair exercises and the aqua aerobics classes. The center received a donation of $10,000 anonymously. The clearing house helped more than 1141 people at Christmas. Some of the future trips will be planned through AAA. Kelly Walker, an art teacher, would like to include classes of ceramics and sculpture as an activity offered at the Senior Center. She feels these media will help stroke patients and others to strengthen muscles and improve motor skills. A fee would be required to cover the cost of the materials and the firings of the completed projects. These would be 1hour to 2-hour classes, once a week. Supinger and Davis told of programs that are available to cancer patients. “Look Good, Feel Better” helps with personal care; “Road to Recovery” gets drivers for those needing transportation and “I Can Cope.”

Jan. 19, 1912 Harry Patterson and Thomas Carey, who operate the cement block machine at the plant of the Sidney Cement Store Co., went to Columbus this morning where the machine is made. They went there to operate the machine while pictures were taken of them for moving picture films which will be shown at the Chicago and New York Cement shows. They were selected to make the film because they hold the record on the number of cement blocks they can turn out on the machine. They have a record of 1,800 blocks per day. ––––– The “Girl Pioneers of America” is an organization that corresponds to the Boy Scout movement. A society of the organization has been organized in Sidney with 40 girls enrolled and a waiting list of half-a-dozen. The organization is under the leadership of Miss Helen Michael. She is assisted by Miss Kulp, Miss Maude Haslup, Miss Jean Nutt, Miss Ethel Allinger and Miss Bonnie Sherwood. Leaders of the individual groups are: Olive Murray, Ruth Bennett, Josephine Rosser, Frances Wright and Ethel Huffman.
ANSWER: Atrial flutter is a very rapid heartbeat. The atria, the two upper heart chambers, beat 260 to 300 times a minute. The lower heart chambers, the right and left ventricles, the heart’s pumping chambers, beat at half that rate, still a fast heartbeat. Atrial flutter differs from atrial fibrillation, a more common heartrhythm disturbance, in the regularity of the heartbeat. Atrial fibrillation is both an irregular and fast heartbeat. Atrial flutter is a regular and fast beat. Fatigue, lightheadedness and shortness of breath are some of atrial flutter’s symptoms. The heart can’t be allowed to sustain such rapid beating. Ablation, the destruction of heart tissue responsible for the speedup, is an excellent way to put an end to flutter. The heart doctor with a specially equipped catheter advances this thin, pliable tube from a surface blood vessel into the heart. When the doctor has the catheter at the right position, he or she turns on radio waves that create scars in the renegade part of the atrium. The abnormal
rhythm stops. The success rate is 90 percent. I wouldn’t hesitate a minute to have it done. The booklet on heartbeat irregularities explains the more common kinds of heartbeat disturbances. To obtain a copy, write: Dr. Donohue — No. 107, Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475. Enclose a check or money order (no cash) for $4.75 U.S./$6 Can. with the recipient’s printed name and address. Please allow four weeks for delivery. DEAR DR. DONOHUE: My father and two uncles died from heart attacks when they were in their 50s. I’m 45. I haven’t ever smoked. I am active and eat a healthy diet. Should I be taking an aspirin? What dose? — R.W. ANSWER: A family history like yours puts you at high risk for a heart attack. I would take a daily 81 mg aspirin as a preventive step. You shouldn’t do this on your own, however. Discuss it with your family doctor to see if he or she has any other suggestions or tests planned for you.
Jan. 19, 1937 National guardsmen rushed into the stricken flood area of southern Ohio today with orders to aid families in moving their household effects further inland as unleashed waters of the Ohio River raced madly past flood stage and threatened inundation of thousands of homes along the 981-mile stretch. Weather forecasters gave no promise of relief from the rain that has drenched the state. ––––– Which do you prefer? A January resplendent with raindrops, water surging out of the river beds, the grass a brilliant Irish green, and winds fresh with the tang of spring? Or would you push the pages of time back a year and experience a January with the mercury down in the sub-zero regions of the twenties. Yes, a year ago today, the thermometer registered a chilly 20 below zero.

DEAR MARCY: Thanks for your suggestion. I promised “Iowa Reader” that if other readers shared ideas I would pass them along. Because of you and other compassionate readers, I received a wide range of heartfelt, helpful advice. My newspaper readers comment: DEAR ABBY: I discovered a wonderful way to receive much-needed human contact — partner dancing. I started with the Argentine tango, which might be a bit too much
for some folks, but I have learned to absolutely love it. It’s a safe way to enjoy an intimate connection with a member of the opposite sex, no strings attached. It takes time to master the skills, but if you stick with it you’ll find a community that shares a passion for a skill that’s challenging and rewarding. Less-intimate forms of partner dance include swing, salsa and country dancing. If you love music and
movement, and could use some exercise, I highly recommend it. — CATHERINE IN HAWAII DEAR ABBY: I encourage her to offer to tutor or read to kids at her local elementary school, visit residents at a nursing home or work at a homeless shelter. There arelots of others out there who need hugs and attention. Volunteers receive far more than they give. — DIANNE IN GAINESVILLE, FLA.

REPLAY 50 years ago January 18, 1962 For the first time in a number of weeks, there was a serious challenger for the top spot n the weekly scoring article. Dan Nedderman, New Bremen’s standout forward, increased his average by more than one point as he poured in 41 against Bradford Friday night.

Back in action After 10 days off, Jackets play Greenville, Lehman BY KEN BARHORST kbarhorst@sdnccg.com It wasn’t all bad, the 10-day midseason layoff the Sidney Yellow Jackets just went through. But first-year head coach Greg Snyder says it’s time to get back on the basketball floor. A scheduling anomaly had the Jackets idle both Friday and Saturday last week, meaning they haven’t played since getting routed at Wayne last Tuesday. Snyder tried to use the respite wisely, and included some time off for his players. “It’s sure unusual, but I think it was needed,” said Snyder, whose team is 1-10 on the year. “We used it to work, and the kids are working real hard. They’re excited for the weekend, and I expect them to come out and play hard. The schedule did some funky things, like no home Friday game for the first month of the season. But this (layoff) worked out nice
with the situation we were in.” They will return to action this weekend with a pair of interesting games. On Friday, they take on 2-10 Greenville. The Jackets traveled to Greenville a week ago last Saturday, hoping to win its second straight after beating Piqua a night earlier. But it didn’t happen. They get their chance to avenge that loss Friday night at home. But it may be difficult to focus on that game because of what awaits Saturday — the annual crosstown rivalry with Lehman. The Cavs, 6-6 on the year, will host the Jackets this season. Sidney’s last outing was forgettable, losing by 39 to Wayne, which is just 4-7 on the year. “They played well, first of all,” said Snyder. “And I would not say we played well in any respect. We did some things offensively, in particular Patwaun (Hudson, 31 points). But we just weren’t consistent
enough. We had to handle their pressure, and we didn’t. We had to box out and rebound, and we didn’t. Not everybody can rebound or put the ball in the basket, but everybody can box out.” Snyder and his team feel they let a good opportunity for a win get away in the game at Greenville. “They did some things defensively that we probably weren’t prepared for, and that’s on me,” he said. “Give them credit. They tricked us a little bit. But we’ve worked on some of those things. “Before the game, and when we watched Greenville, we knew they were going to try to make us settle for outside shots. And that’s what happened. And when you don’t make them, you’re in trouble. So we’ve preached to the kids that we have to have some movement and get the ball inside.” Because of that loss, Snyder doesn’t think the Jackets will have any trouble focusing on the Green Wave, even with

QUOTE OF THE DAY “This was a difficult decision. I wanted to make sure we took all the time we needed to make sure it was the right decision.” —Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay, on the firing of head coach Jim Caldwell
ON THIS DATE IN 1938 — Grover Cleveland Alexander is elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame. His 90 shutouts is second on the alltime list to Walter Johnson and his 16 shutouts in 1916 is still the major league record. 1996 — Baseball owners break with more than a century of tradition by unanimously approving interleague play in 1997.
BY KEN BARHORST kbarhorst@sdnccg.com The season has passed the halfway point, and it’s still a two-team race at the top of the County boys basketball standings. The Jackson Center Tigers, the No. 4-ranked team in Ohio in Division IV, are still unblemished at 7-0 in league play, but Russia is right on its heels at 6-1. And they meet up a week from Tuesday. Russia is idle Friday, but Jackson travels to Fairlawn, Botkins visits Houston and Anna goes to Fort Loramie. On Saturday, Russia is back in action, hosting Bradford. Houston travels to Covington, Minster invades Anna and Jackson Center stays home and plays New Bremen. There are also two games SDN Photo/Todd B.

Lady Jackets win 35-34 Lauren Elmore buried an 18-footer with 25 seconds remaining, and the Sidney Lady Jackets made it stand up for a 35-34 victory over Miamisburg in girls high school basketball action Wednesday at the high school. The win puts Sidney at 210 on the season. Miamisburg is 3-11. “Going in at the half, I told the girls if we could put two good quarters together we could win,” said Sidney coach Megan Mummey. “Defensively we went in trying to stop their 6-3 post (Emily Leonard), and she only got 12. We had a tough time keeping them off the boards, but we played great defense.” After an extremely lowscoring first half, with Sidney trailing 10-9, the pace picked

Lehman lurking on Saturday. But he also admits that everybody is looking forward to the local rivalry. “These kids know each other so well,” he said. “I anticipate getting Lehman’s best effort, best shooting night. Coach (Isaiah) Williams has done a great job with them. They always play hard.” The Cavaliers have the top two scorers in the area so far this season, with Alex Baker at just a shade under 20 per game, and Solomon KingWhite at 17.3. The Jackets are no doubt familiar with King-White, facing him last season when he played for Northmont. “Those two are tremendous players, but they have other guys stepping up,” said Snyder. “And that’s a credit to their coach. He’s putting faith in some of those younger kids and they’re getting the job done for him. I’m sure they feel very confident coming into the game. We need to be at the top of our game.”
up in the third quarter. Sidney took a 13-12 lead at one point before Miamisburg went on a 6-0 run. But the Lady Jackets stayed close and trailed by just four at the end of the quarter, 24-20. Elmore drained her only three-pointer of the game to start the final period and cut the lead down to just one. Miamisburg was able to get the lead back up to 29-26 with 3:40 left, but Sidney refused to go away. Miamisburg was up 34-33 after a bucket with 1:02 left, but Elmore shook free behind a screen and buried her jumper to give Sidney the win. “I’m very proud of Lauren,” said Mummey. “All season long I told her to take the team on her shoulders and

she stepped up and hit a big shot. Kia Perrin also stepped up and had four blocks and a big rebound to secure the game. This win was long overdue.” Miamisburg had three cracks at the bucket at the end, but Sidney survived. Elmore had 13 and Monique Hanayik 10 for Sidney. Konner Harris added eight.

Fairlawn Nobody has more right to offer an excuse or two after a loss than Fairlawn coach Derek Alexander. But he’s getting tired of it and frustrated that his Jets can’t seem to win the close ones. The Jets have been riddled with injuries, the most stressing being the loss of leading scorer Anthony Gillem to a broken wrist. Alexander has also had to deal with illness, and earlier, missed second-leading scorer Trey Everett with a bad ankle. The Jets’ latest loss came Tuesday at Triad, a team that came into the game with just one victory. “I’m just frustrated with the play of a couple kids we expect a lot from,” he said. “We need them to play at a high level and they didn’t Tuesday.” See COUNTY/Page 19
Ally Kittle
Sidney High School's Ally Kittle had an outstanding week in a busy week for the Yellow Jacket bowling teams. She started off by rolling a 235 to lead her team to a win over Piqua. Then in a win over Vandalia, she rolled a 245 game. She capped off the week by earning all-tournament team honors with games of 194 and 234 in the Bearcat Classic in Cincinnati, an event won by the Lady Jackets. She had the fourth-best score in the tournament.

“We started out the game really well, but we didn’t show up after halftime. “We were playing a team that was 1-9, but nobody fears us,” he added. “They look at Fairlawn as a chance to get a win. Our kids need to take that more personally. I do as a coach. “I think some of our kids are using the injuries we’ve had as a crutch,” he continued. “But we have to get over that. We’ve been in a lot of close games without Anthony, but we haven’t found a way to get over the top.” The Jets draw the toughest assignment of any league team Friday when they travel to unbeaten Jackson Center, the No. 4-ranked Division IV team in Ohio in this week’s rankings. “We know what we’re up against Friday,” Alexander said. “They are one of the most fundamentally sound teams in the state. They have no problem playing slow or fast. Our kids have to show up and play a sound game. If we try to get fancy, we’re going to be in trouble.”
Jackson Center The Tigers are the No. 4-ranked team in the state in Division IV, and head coach Scott Elchert had the same reaction this week as he did last. “I told the kids, it’s a nice honor for the team, and something they’ve worked hard for. But it doesn’t help you win. In fact, it could help you lose if you don’t treat it properly.” The Tigers are rolling along with a 13-0 record, including 7-0 in the County. And they are also coming off an impressive weekend that saw them handle Fort Loramie on Friday and New Knoxville on the road Saturday. “There’s no doubt we’ve made progress,” Elchert said. “But there is still work to be done. I still believe we go through some lulls. There might be five, six, seven possessions where we don’t score. There’s a combination of reasons for that, but we have to eliminate them.” The Tigers seem to have really stepped it up on the defensive end. They held a New Knoxville team with
some real offensive weapons to 12 points at the half and 32 for the game Saturday. “I think we’ve played consistently for the most part all year,” Elchert said of the defense. “That’s something we’ve really built upon the last four years. This group has been around it, understands it, and appreciates and respects how important it is.” The Tigers have another challenging weekend ahead, playing at Fairlawn Friday and hosting New Bremen on Saturday. The Jets are struggling to overcome the loss of leading scorer Anthony Gillem, but Elchert says they are still a dangerous team. “I’ve had the chance to see them the last couple games,” he said. “What I know about them is that they are still a very dangerous team. They played well in stretches against Houston and again last night. We respect the fact that they have other kids stepping up. And it’s at their place. But I know this group is not going to underestimate anybody.” New Bremen goes into the weekend with a 7-3 record. “They are the real deal,” Elchert said. “They have an outstanding point guard who’s played on varsity for four years (Aaron Clune) and also one of the best big men around (Troy Williams). It’s a great challenge for us.”
Botkins It hasn’t happened often this season, but it did Tuesday — poor shooting. And it cost the Botkins Trojans in a loss to Anna. “We were 25 percent from the floor, and that was the start of it,” said Botkins coach Brett Meyer. “And Anna spread the floor really well and took care of the ball late. “We’ve been shooting well lately and we got some good looks against Anna,” he added. “But we didn’t knock them down. And Anna had some fast-break points on us. “We have to get used to playing big games,” he added. “We just didn’t play good enough defense on the road, and
Page 19
From Page 18 they got way too many offensive rebounds.” The Trojans will try to regroup Friday, but they face another stiff road test at Houston. “They lost by five or six to Ottawa-Glandorf, and that’s a good showing,” said Meyer of the Wildcats. “We’re going to need to keep (Jesse) Phliot and (Ryan) Curl off the boards and know where (Jacob) Braun is on the outside.” Meyer got some good news this week when Trevor Barhorst was cleared to play. A starter, Barhorst has been out with a high ankle sprain since the Minster game back on Dec. 30.
Anna The Rockets appear to have hit their stride, their record standing at 7-5 after three straight impressive wins over Marion Local, Lehman and Botkins. “We’re definitely feeling good about ourselves right now,” said firstyear head coach Nate Barhorst. “I think a lot of it has to do with the play we’re getting off the bench. Derek Gephart has been spelling Jay Meyer, and Nate Metz has given us muchneeded play inside. It makes us muchmore dynamic when we’re getting those guys involved. “You can definitely see the confidence growing,” he added. “The kids are feeding off one another, sharing the ball, finding the open man, making that extra pass... Those things combined with good, solid defense, communication, and holding teams to one shot have made us a better team.” The Rockets will try to keep the momentum going Friday night when they travel to Fort Loramie in County play. Loramie snapped a losing streak Saturday with a win at home over Minster. The Redskins are just 2-9, but Barhorst isn’t paying any attention to that. “We’re expecting a tough, physical matchup Friday,” he said. “Loramie is a good defensive club, and it’s going to be a grind-it-out kind of game. Karl (Raterman) will have them playing well. I expect an intense game. See COUNTY/Page 20

Sidney boys lose by just 25 pins GREENVILLE — The Sidney High boys bowling team lost anclose match other with Wednesday, Greenville edging the Jackets by just 25 pins in Greater Western Ohio Conference action. The first game had Sidney with 859 to Greenville’s 832, but in the second game, the Green Wave won 854829. So going into baker, Sidney led by just two pins. “I told the boys to go big with a chance and to keep working,” said Sidney coach Angie Mentges. “We rolled a 166 to Greenville’s 171, putting us three pins down. We had just one split in that game, but three opens. In the second baker, we went Brooklyn a number
COUNTY Houston The Wildcats didn’t win last weekend, but turned in two good efforts in losses to Russia and Ottawa-Glandorf. “I thought we played well both nights,” said Houston coach John Willoughby. “Those were two good teams and I thought we handled ourselves pretty well against two good pressing teams. “But it comes back to our toughness,” he continued. “We’re not getting rebounds. We’re playing decent defense, but not rewarding ourselves by getting rebounds and loose balls. We’re out of position because we’re not fighting enough to get in position. The ball goes up and we seem to be satisfied to be behind somebody. It was real frustrating against Russia because we were starting to come back on them.” The Wildcats have a double weekend this week, starting with a home game against Botkins and ending with a trip to Covington. “I like the way Botkins plays,” said Willoughby. “The first time I saw them, I could tell they have good leadershp, and that’s a plus. They have kids with good experience who have been around, and a lot of their players can do a lot of things. They’re a tough, scrappy team.”
Fort Loramie It was a much-needed win, said Fort Loramie coach Karl Ratermann, in reference to the Redskins beating Minster Saturday night for just their second win of the season. “We really needed that win,” he said. “And beating one of our main rivals, and a team that had won four in a row, that made it better. We were coming off a pretty sound defeat against Jackson Center, so for us to come out and get mentally focused, I was proud of the kids.” Raterman thinks his team might be turning the corner. “We’ve been playing two teams every night, our opponents and ourselves,” Ratermann said. “We have to focus on what we do and hopefully the rest will work itself out. I think the kids are starting to learn how to compete better. I think early in the season we were playing with a purpose and really focused on what we were doing. We were competing and had some confidence. But then we lost a couple of games and that
of times but only had one open. But Greenville put together some strikes and rolled a 220 to our 198. “Today was definitely a learning experience in that you never give up,” she added. “You must work to find a line and make big moves sometimes. Our varsity squad consisted of two seniors, one junior and three sophomores. They are young and there will be many wins to come.” In junior varsity play, Jordan McClure rolled a 194. The Sidney girls rolled a 2024 to easily beat Greenville’s 1512. The Lady Jackets are now 4-1 in the GWOC North and 14-3 overall. Shelbie Anderson led Sidney with games of 222 and 207.
From Page 19 confidence went away.” He is hoping to see his Redskins build on that win last week, and it will take a good effort, with Anna coming to town on a three-game winning streak. “Anna is playing real well and you can see the confidence they have right now,” Raterman said. “Everything starts with Jay Meyer. He’s the catalyst. You have to be able to guard him outside, but he penetrates so well, too. It’s an important game for us. We have to start getting better now.”

‘Pacman’ pleads guilty CINCINNATI (AP) — Cincinnati Bengals cornerback Adam “Pacman” Jones pleaded guilty Wednesday to a misdemeanor charge of disorderly conduct. Jones entered the plea in Hamilton County Municipal Court just as his non-jury trial was scheduled to begin. A second misdemeanor charge of resisting arrest was dismissed in a plea agreement with prosecutors. Judge Brad Greenberg ordered Jones to serve a year of probation, complete 50 hours of community service and pay a $250 fine plus court costs. Jones could have received a maximum jail sentence of 30 days. Jones, 28, was accused in court documents of being disorderly, shouting profanities and trying to
pull away as officers arrested him at a downtown bar in July. At the time, Jones was on probation in Las Vegas in connection with a 2007 no contest plea to a strip club melee that left three people wounded. He was ordered in November to perform an additional 75 hours of community service for violating that probation with the Cincinnati arrest. Jones apologized in court to police for his conduct and said he realized that he “could have handled it a whole lot better.” The judge told Jones that he did not know how “someone with your ability risks your career with this type of behavior.” Assistant City Solicitor Karla Burtch said Jones repeatedly approached officers “aggressively.”
Jones said he was just trying to protect his fiance. “This is unprofessional behavior,” Greenberg said. He told Jones that if he wanted to be regarded as a professional, “you need to act like one at all times.” Neither Jones nor his attorney would comment after court. Bengals spokesman Jack Brennan said Jones “handled this issue in a responsible manner, and we support both the legal system and his efforts to put this behind him.” The NFL did not immediately return calls seeking comment. Jones will be a free agent after completing his second season with Cincinnati, which gave him a chance to continue his career. Tennessee made Jones the sixth overall
pick in 2005. He started 28 games in his first two seasons with the Titans, but repeated arrests scuttled his career. He missed the entire 2007 season with the first of two suspensions from the league. The Titans traded Jones to Dallas before the 2008 draft. An alcohol-related altercation with a bodyguard that the Cowboys provided cost him another sixgame suspension. He was out of the NFL for a year before the Bengals gave him the two-year deal in 2010 and a final chance to show he can stay out of trouble and hold a job in the NFL. He excelled as Cincinnati’s No. 3 cornerback before a neck injury ended his 2010 season after only five games. Jones had surgery for a herniated disc in his neck.
