seas while swearing an ageold oath to “preserve, protect and defend” the Constitution. “I did it,” a smiling president said to his daughter Sasha seconds after following Chief Justice John Roberts in reciting the oath of office. First lady Michelle Obama and the couple’s other daughter, Malia, were among rela-

tives who bore witness. The quiet moments were prelude to Monday’s public inaugural events when Obama and Vice President Joe Biden will be sworn in on the steps of the U.S. Capitol before a crowd expected to reach into the hundreds of thousands and a television audience counted in the millions.

The trappings were in place — the flag-draped stands ready outside the Capitol and the tables set inside for a traditional lunch with lawmakers. Across town, a specially made reviewing stand rested outside the White House gates for the president and guests to watch See OATH/Page 5

Lawsuit settled Counterclaim in Van Fossen case dropped BY KATHY LEESE With trial approaching in a lawsuit against former Shelby County Sheriff ’s Deputy Jodi Van Fossen, the parties involved have apparently reached a settlement. The lawsuit against Van Fossen, filed by Daniel Rodriguez, owner of the Faultline Bar and Grill of Anna and Wesley

Burnside of Fort Loramie, has been dropped. Also, a countersuit by Van Fossen against the men has been dismissed. In both cases the suits were dismissed without prejudice, meaning they could be refiled. While those lawsuits were dismissed, there is no mention of dismissal of claims against John Does 1, 2 and 3 that were also named by Rodriguez and See LAWSUIT/Page 6 Van Fossen

Death toll climbs past 80 in Sahara siege BY ELAINE GANLEY The Associated Press ALGIERS, Algeria (AP) — The death toll from the terrorist siege at a natural gas plant in the Sahara climbed past 80 on Sunday as Algerian forces searching the refinery for explosives found dozens more bodies, many so badly disfigured it was unclear whether they were hostages or militants, a security official said.

Algerian special forces stormed the plant on Saturday to end the four-day siege, moving in to thwart what government officials said was a plot by the Islamic extremists to blow up the complex and kill all their captives with mines sown throughout the site. In a statement, the Masked Brigade, the group that claimed to have masterminded the takeover, warned of more such attacks against any country back-

ing France’s military intervention in neighboring Mali, where the French are trying to stop an advance by Islamic extremists. “We stress to our Muslim brothers the necessity to stay away from all the Western companies and complexes for their own safety, and especially the French ones,” the statement said. Algeria said after Saturday’s assault See SIEGE/Page 5

Registration for the 2013 Shelby County Master Gardener training is being extended until Friday. Training sessions will be held on Thursdays from March 7 through May 2 at the Ohio State University Extension (OSUE) Office in Sidney. An information packet, including the application form, can be picked up and returned to the Extension office during normal business hours. The training is open to residents of Shelby and surrounding counties. The Ohio State University Extension Master Gardener Volunteer Program provides intensive training in horticulture to interested Ohio residents who then volunteer their time assisting with educational programs and activities for Ohio residents through their local Ohio State University Extension county office. Volunteers are not required to have gardening skills or knowledge; a passion for learning about gardening and sharing this knowledge with others is a must. Working with county Extension personnel, Master Gardener volunteers provide such educational services to their communities as: answering gardening questions from the public; conducting plant clinics; gardening activities with children, senior citizens, or disabled persons; beautifying the community; developing community or demonstration gardens; and other horticultural activities. Cost of the training is $125, with a $50 refundable deposit due upon return of the application. The fee covers presenters, a comprehensive training manual, handouts and light snacks. OSUE also requires a law enforcement background check. The training will be provided by some of OSUE’s top experts as well as some local Master Gardeners. Upon completion of the training sessions, the trainees will become Master Gardener interns and will be expected to provide 50 hours of volunteer service during the coming year. For more information or to get a registration packet, stop by the Extension Office at 810 Fair Road or call 4987239.

Martin Luther King

"We will not resort to violence. We will not degrade ourselves with hatred. Love will not be returned with hate." --Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was a black clergyman who is ranked among the greatest of black Americans because of his crusade to win full civil rights for his people. Preaching nonviolence, much in the same way as had Mahatma Gandhi of India, Martin Luther King Jr. spoke and campaigned tirelessly to rid the United States of traditions and laws that forced on black Americans the status of secondclass citizens. Among these laws ed voting by blacks. were those in some states that In the late 1950s and early required black people to take back 1960s, African Americans, led by seats in buses or which obstructDr. Martin Luther King Jr., used boycotts, marches and other forms of nonviolent protest to demand equal treatment under the law and an end to racial prejudice. A high point of this civil rights movement came on Aug. 28, 1963, when more than 200,000 people of all races gathered in front of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C., to hear King say: "I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia the sons of former slaves

and the sons of former slaveholders will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood ... I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character." (Read and listen to Dr. King's “I Have a Dream” speech) Not long afterwards the U.S. Congress passed laws prohibiting discrimination in voting, education, employment, housing and public accommodations. The world was shocked when Dr. King was assassinated in 1968. Ever since, special memorial services have marked his birthday on Jan. 15. By vote of Congress, the third Monday of every January, beginning in 1986, is now a federal holiday in Dr. King's honor.

NATION/WORLD TODAY IN HISTORY BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Today is Monday, Jan. 21, the 21st day of 2013. There are 344 days left in the year. This is the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday. Today’s Highlight in History: On Jan. 21, 1793, during the French Revolution, King Louis XVI, condemned for treason, was executed on the guillotine. On this date: • In 1648, Margaret Brent went before the Maryland colonial assembly to seek two votes in that body, one for herself as a landowner, the other as the legal representative of the absent Lord Baltimore; the assembly turned her down. • In 1861, Jefferson Davis of Mississippi and four other Southerners whose states had seceded from the Union resigned from the U.S. Senate. • In 1908, New York City’s Board of Aldermen passed an ordinance prohibiting women from smoking in public (the measure was vetoed two weeks later by Mayor George B. McClellan Jr.). • In 1910, the Great Paris Flood began as the rain-swollen Seine River burst its banks, sending water into the French capital. • In 1924, Russian revolutionary Vladimir Lenin died at age 53. • In 1937, Count Basie and his band recorded “One O’Clock Jump” for Decca Records (on this date in 1942, they re-recorded the song for Okeh Records). • In 1954, the first atomic submarine, the USS Nautilus, was launched at Groton, Conn. (However, the Nautilus did not make its first nuclear-powered run until nearly a year later.) • In 1958, Charles Starkweather, 19, killed three relatives of his 14year-old girlfriend, Caril Ann Fugate, at her family’s home in Lincoln, Neb. (Starkweather and Fugate went on a road trip which resulted in seven more slayings.) In 1968, the Battle of Khe Sanh began during the Vietnam War. An American B-52 bomber carrying four hydrogen bombs crashed in Greenland, killing one crew member and scattering radioactive material.

OUT OF THE BLUE

Whiskey was on ice SCOTTBASE, Antarctica (AP) — Talk about whisky on ice: Three bottles of rare, 19th century Scotch found beneath the floor boards of Antarctic explorer Ernest Shackelton’s abandoned expedition base were returned to the polar continent Saturday after a distiller flew them to Scotland to recreate the long-lost recipe. But not even New Zealand Prime Minister John Key, who personally returned the stash, got a taste of the contents of the bottles of Mackinlay's whisky, which were rediscovered 102 years after the explorer was forced to leave them behind. “I think we’re all tempted to crack it open and have a little drink ourselves now,” Key joked at a ceremony handing over the bottles to Antarctic Heritage Trust officials at New Zealand’s Antarctic base on Ross Island. The whisky will be transferred by March from Ross Island to Shackelton’s desolate hut at Cape Royds and replaced beneath the restored hut as part of a program to protect the legacy of the so-called heroic era of Antarctic exploration from 1898 to 1915.

Obama’s Inauguration Day is a day for MLK Jr., too WASHINGTON (AP) — Monday’s inaugural may be President Barack Obama’s big day, but Martin Luther King Jr. will loom large over the festivities. A quirk in the calendar pushed Obama’s public swearing-in onto the national holiday honoring the slain civil rights leader, and inaugural planners have taken pains to acknowledge that fact. Going into his second term, Obama seems to have put King at the front of his mind, too. The president has referenced King in speeches, and a weekend of inaugural festivities opened Saturday with a National Day of Service in King’s honor. Obama and his family helped spruce up an elementary school in southeast Washington. The Obamas also have performed community service work on the King holiday in each of the past four years. Obama spoke at the 2011 dedication of a memorial to King on the National Mall and is likely to include King in his inaugural address on Monday.

The president has said King is one of two people he admires “more than anybody in American history.” President Abraham Lincoln is the other. In a nod to that admiration, Obama will take his ceremonial oath of office Monday using Bibles owned by both men. Lincoln’s Bible, which Obama also used in 2009, will rest on top of King’s, which is larger. “The movements they represent are the only reason that it’s possible for me to be inaugurated,” Obama said in a video released by inaugural planners. Obama is perhaps the most high-profile result of King’s quest for civil rights and racial equality in the U.S. He credits King for his own political victories, particularly the 2008 election win that lifted him over the highest hurdle for minorities in American politics. Even with that, there are distinctions in their styles. While King was a staunch advocate for the poor and downtrodden, Obama has been faulted by critics who say he’s been reluctant to push issues of

concern to black people and take steps to reduce high rates of black unemployment. Where King opposed wars in general and was an unwavering advocate of nonviolence, Obama has shown himself to be willing to target and kill leaders of terrorist groups overseas. Fredrick Harris, director of Columbia University’s Center on African-American Politics and Society, argues that Obama’s reluctance to bring black issues to the forefront undermines the work of King and other civil rights leaders whose efforts made his presidency possible. “Dr. King died in 1968 fighting for lowwage garbage workers in Memphis, Tenn. He was starting a national poor people’s movement to address the issues of poverty,” Harris said. “With the president, a Democratic president for that matter, who has spoken less on race or the poor or poverty than any Democratic president in a generation, it is problematic when we think of that aspect of King’s legacy.”

Flu season fuels debate on sick days

PRESIDENT BARACK Obama embraces daughter Malia as first lady Michelle Obama, daughter Sasha (right) and Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts, Jr., look on after the official swearing-in in the Blue Room of the White House, Sunday in Washington.

OATH the traditional parade down Pennsylvania Avenue. A crowd of perhaps 800,000 was forecast, less than the million-plus that thronged to the nation’s capital four years ago to witness the inauguration of the first black president in American history. The weather forecast was encouraging, to a point. High temperatures were predicted for the lower 40s during the day, with scattered snow showers during the evening, when two inaugural balls closed out the official proceedings. The 44th chief executive is only the 17th to win re-election, and his second-term goals are ambitious for a country where sharp political differences have produced gridlocked government in recent years. Restoration of the economy to full strength and pressing the worldwide campaign against terrorists sit atop the agenda. He also wants to reduce federal deficits and win immigration and gun control legislation from Congress, where Republicans control the House. If he needed a reminder of the challenges he faces, he got one from half-way around the globe. An Algerian security of-

From Page 1 ficial disclosed the discovery of 25 additional bodies at a gas plant where radical Islamists last week took dozens of foreign workers hostage. In Washington, tourists strolled leisurely on an unseasonably warm day. “I’m very proud of him and what he’s trying to do for immigration, women’s rights, what they call ‘Obamacare,’ and concerns for the middle class,” said Patricia Merritt, a retired educator from San Antonio, in town with her daughter and granddaughter to see the inauguration and parade as well as historic sites. “I think he’s more disrespected than any other president,” she added, referring to his critics. Sean Payton, an operations analyst from Highland Ranch, Colo., said he hoped to hear “a nice eloquent speech that makes people feel good about being an American.” Republicans lent a touch of bipartisanship to the weekend. “We always want any president to succeed, to do well, that means America does well and Americans do well,” Sen. John Barrasso of Wyoming said on CNN’s “State of the Union.” Obama took the oath in the White House Blue Room where portraits of Presidents

John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison and John Tyler grace the walls. He placed a hand on a Bible held by his wife. His daughters stood nearby. The nation’s political divisions seemed scarcely to intrude as Obama, a Democrat, shook hands with Roberts, a Republican appointee, in a rite that renews American democracy every four years. Unlike four years ago, when Roberts stumbled verbally, the chief justice recited the oath without error. Before the swearing-in, the president listened from a second-row pew at the 175-yearold Metropolitan African Methodist Episcopal Church as the Rev. Jonathan V. Newman asked God’s blessing for him and his family. “But also prepare him for battle … because sometimes enemies insist on doing it the hard way,” he said. Like Obama, Biden began his day early. He attended Catholic Mass at his official residence at the U.S. Naval Observatory a few miles from the White House. Justice Sonia Sotomayor, the first Hispanic justice and an Obama appointee, administered the oath of office.

SIEGE by government forces that at least 32 extremists and 23 hostages were killed. On Sunday, Algerian bomb squads sent in to blow up or defuse the explosives found 25 more bodies, said the security official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the situation. “These bodies are difficult to identify. They could be the bodies of foreign hostages or Algerians or terrorists,” the official said. In addition, a wounded Romanian who had been evacuated died, raising the overall death toll to at least 81.

NEW YORK (AP) — Sniffling, groggy and afraid she had caught the flu, Diana Zavala dragged herself in to work anyway for a day she felt she couldn’t afford to miss. A school speech therapist who works as an independent contractor, she doesn’t have paid sick days. So the mother of two reported to work and hoped for the best — and was aching, shivering and coughing by the end of the day. She stayed home the next day, then loaded up on medicine and returned to work. “It’s a balancing act” between physical health and financial well-being, she said. An unusually early and vigorous flu season is drawing attention to a cause that has scored victories but also hit roadblocks in recent years: mandatory paid sick leave for a third of civilian workers — more than 40 million people — who don’t have it. Supporters and opponents are particularly watching New York City, where lawmakers are weighing a sick leave proposal amid a competitive mayoral race. Pointing to a flu outbreak that the governor has called a public health emergency, dozens of doctors, nurses, lawmakers and activists — some in surgical masks — rallied Friday on the City Hall steps to call for passage of the measure, which has awaited a City Council vote for nearly three years. Two likely mayoral contenders have also pressed the point. The flu spike is making people more aware of the argument for sick pay, said Ellen Bravo, executive director of Family Values at Work, which promotes paid sick time initiatives around the country. “There’s people who say, ‘OK, I get it — you don’t want your server coughing on your food,’” she said. Advocates have cast paid sick time as both a workforce issue akin to parental leave and “living wage” laws, and a public health priority.

From Page 1 “Now, of course, people will ask questions about the Algerian response to these events, but I would just say that the responsibility for these deaths lies squarely with the terrorists who launched a vicious and cowardly attack,” British Prime Minister David Cameron said. Three Britons were killed and another three were feared dead. The dead hostages were also known to include at least one American as well as Filipino and French workers. Nearly two dozen foreigners by some estimates were unac-

counted for. It was unclear whether anyone was rescued in the final assault on the complex, which is run by the Algerian state oil company along with BP (TSX:BP’U) and Norway’s Statoil. Two private Algerian TV stations and an online news site said security forces scouring the plant found five militants hiding out and learned that three others had fled. That information could not be immediately confirmed by security officials. Authorities said the bloody takeover was carried out

Wednesday by 32 men from six countries, under the command from afar of the oneeyed Algerian bandit Moktar Belmoktar, founder of the Masked Brigade, based in Mali. The attacking force called itself “Those Who Sign in Blood.” The Masked Brigade said Sunday the attack was payback against Algeria for allowing over-flights of French aircraft headed to Mali and for closing its long border with Mali. In an earlier communication, the Brigade claimed to have carried out the attack in the name of al-Qaida.

Doctors testing brain pacemakers to zap Alzheimer’s damage BY LAURAN NEERGAARD The Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — It has the makings of a science fiction movie: Zap someone’s brain with mild jolts of electricity to try to stave off the creeping memory loss of Alzheimer’s disease. And it’s not easy. Holes are drilled into the patient’s skull so tiny wires can be implanted into just the right spot. A dramatic shift is beginning in the disappointing struggle to find something to slow the damage of this epidemic: The first U.S. experiments with “brain pacemakers” for Alzheimer’s are getting under way. Scientists are looking beyond drugs to implants in the hunt for much-needed new treatments. The research is in its infancy. Only a few dozen people with early-stage Alzheimer’s will be implanted in a handful of hospitals. No one knows if it might work, and if it does, how long the effects might last. Kathy Sanford was

LAWSUIT Burnside. Court documents indicate the claims involving Van Fossen and the two men were voluntarily dismissed. According to Chris Bucio of Roberts, Kelly and Bucio, LLP of Troy, attorney for the men, “there has been a settlement deal.” He noted that he is not allowed to say who prevailed in the lawsuits.” Bucio told the Sidney Daily News that on the day Van Fossen, of Wapakoneta, was scheduled to give her deposition, the same day Burnside and Rodriguez gave theirs, a settlement was reached. Bucio is not closing the door on re-filing a lawsuit. Bucio previously stated that his clients were waiting to name other defendants until they heard from Van Fossen’s attorneys, Daniel Klos of Columbus and Ashley Bolender and Joseph Mordino of Faulkner and Tepe, LLP, Cincinnati. Bucio said at that time it is possible that former Shelby County Sheriff Dean Kimpel could be named as a defendant as well as Shelby County. Bolender indicated the lawsuit could be refiled. She noted that the dismissal could mean that the attorneys “wanted to avoid the trial date.” Rodriguez and Burnside filed the lawsuit in connection with issues that involved an alleged drug investigation in

2010, reportedly under the direction of thenSheriff Kimpel. The investigation allegedly involved drug buys conducted by the ACE Task Force. The suit against Van Fossen claims she and the John Does “acted to specifically target” Rodriguez and Burnside by “making statements that were both false and defamatory.” The men claimed that Van Fossen’s statements caused them “severe emotional distress and economic loss.” Burnside worked for Rodriguez at the Faultline Bar at the time. The lawsuit claims Van Fossen was “acting in an official capacity as a Shelby County Sheriff’s Deputy” and the two men claimed defamation, false light, tortious interference with business relations and intentional infliction of emotional distress. They demanded a jury trial. Rodriguez and Burnside filed the lawsuit against Van Fossen each seeking in excess of $25,000 plus interest for

This month, Ohio is running ahead of last year’s figures, with 10 deaths recorded in January compared with four last year at this time.

Pair sentenced to prison In Shelby County Common Pleas Court recently, Lamone Upkins, 44, of Sidney, came before the court for resentencing, having been found guilty of four counts of trafficking in drugs after a jury trial in December 2011. After considering previous attempts to harm, previous prison terms and violations of community control sanctions, the court sentenced Upkins to serve a prison term of nine months per count, to run consecutively. His driver’s license also was suspended for six months, and he was ordered to pay the costs of prosecution. Upkins was originally indicted for selling Clonazepam to a confidential informant in 2010, for which he was previously convicted and appealed. • Brett A. Copeland, 21, pleaded guilty to a charge of uttering, a fifth-degree felony, and was sentenced to 11 months in prison to run concurrently with his sentence in a separate case for breaking and entering, a fifth-degree felony, in which he was sentenced to 11 months in prison.

COLUMBUS (AP) — The number of fire-related deaths in Ohio dropped last year to a 26year low, with the state fire marshal attributing part of the decline to the unusually mild winter. It was the second year running that Ohio saw double digit decreases in the numbers of people killed in blazes, said Fire Marshal Larry Flowers. The state recorded an unofficial 106 fire deaths for 2012, a 17 percent drop from the year before, which saw 128 fire deaths. The figures for 2012 are tentative and could rise slightly as fire departments finish their mandatory reporting to

Ohio, home. Her father is blunter. “What’s our choice? To participate in a program or sit here and watch her slowly deteriorate?” asked Joe Jester, 78. He drives his daughter to follow-up testing, hoping to spot improvement. A few months after the five-hour operation, the hair shaved for her brain surgery was growing back and Sanford said she felt good, with an occasional tingling that she attributes to the electrodes. A battery-powered generator near her collarbone powers them, sending the tiny shocks up her neck and into her brain. It’s too soon to know how she’ll fare; scientists will track her for two years. “This is an ongoing evaluation right now that we are optimistic about,” is how Ohio State neurosurgeon Dr. Ali Rezai cautiously puts it. More than 5 million have Americans Alzheimer’s or similar dementias, and that number is expected to rise rapidly as the baby boomers age.

healthcare reform law. This responds to the provision in the federal health care law for an opt-out of abortion coverage. Lately, news coverage of our pro-life efforts in Ohio has ignored the success of the three bills that we passed during this General Assembly. These are major accomplishments in the movement and show that our state Legislature and governor are dedicated to the issue of life. There is no movement away from this important issue — one more important than ever. As leaders we must make a point to continue addressing the issue of life. In the next General Assembly, I am interested in continuing work to save lives of the unborn. Two high-profile bills that did not become law in the 129th General Assembly are House Bill 125, the “Heartbeat Bill,” and House Bill 298, which would provide preference for state funding to health centers that do not promote abortions. Both bills have drawn attention from the pro-life and prochoice communities, because they are

landmark movements and each one needs due consideration and proper vetting in the legislative process. I strongly support the reintroduction of these bills in this General Assembly. The pro-life community is united behind each of these measures and continues our work to make sure the legislation is accurate is important. As we close the book on the 129th General Assembly, members of the prolife movement should feel accomplished. Their efforts have saved thousands of unborn lives, and we are in a position to save thousands more in the next two years. In western Ohio, we value life, we value family, and most of all we value freedom. The freedom of the unborn is of the utmost importance. We must continue to stand up for those without a voice.

TO THE EDITOR

FISH chairman appreciates shop’s success

Writer rues Roe v. Wade To the editor: Jan. 22 marks the 40th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, the Supreme Court decision which overturned the laws of all 50 states and legalized abortion on demand. The New York Times editorial the next day predicted that the decision would put an end to this “divisive” issue. It had been preceded by a constant drumbeat from the mainstream media about the “inevitability” of abortion becoming “acceptable.” The media portrayed abortion as a “right” and a choice,” while pro-lifers were imaged in a negative way. The reality is that many abortions involve some form of coercion. (www.theunchoice.com). Although abortion is legal, the number of Americans who identify themselves as pro-life is higher now than at any time since that decision. Pregnancy centers for mothers with problem pregnancies were founded by pro-lifers so that mothers could choose to give their babies life. An increasing number of women who have had abortions are becoming involved in the pro-life movement. (www.silentnomoreawareness.org) Although the present administration in D.C. is hostile to pro-life policies, God’s grace can continue to work miracles of conversion as it has always done. Norma McCorvey, the plaintiff in Roe v. Wade never had her abortion; she is now active in pro-life work. Dr. Bernard Nathanson, who founded one of the largest abortion chambers in the country quit his job as an abortionist and went on to produce prolife books and videos. Abby Johnson, former director of a Planned Parenthood abortion chamber is now an active pro-lifer and wrote a book, “Unplanned” about her experience as she “changed sides.” Forty years and over 50 million abortions can dull the public conscience to the beauty and dignity of life before birth and the tragedy of abortion for the baby, the mother, and the culture. For a reality check, www.abort73.com includes pictures of preborn babies, methods of abortion, and resources for assistance both before and after an abortion.

Employment-seekers need kindness To the editor: I am writing this to all the companies in Miami and Shelby counties, especially to human resource managers. Front-desk secretaries, please be kind to individuals seeking employment. You never know when you could be in their shoes. For most seeking employment

and being unemployed is devastating and depressing. A secretary on a power trip is the last thing they need to encounter. Human resource managers should be more open to our older generation for placement; their work ethics are usually of high standards. Also, individuals

in our society labeled felons can be a risk as an employee, but aren’t you taking a risk with every new hire? Maybe they’ll be a great employee, maybe not. The way I see it if they are looking for employment they might not have to be a felon forever. Every situation is different and has circumstances.

Sometimes an individual needs a chance to correct mistakes. You as a human resource manager have the power to give them that. In life people can take kindness for granted, but often people are forever grateful! Trisha Edwards 6677 State Route 66 Fort Loramie

Christmas committee grateful for donations To the editor: The community has outdone itself this year with Caring at Christmas donations, and because of all of you, our total was over $25,000 this year. Even in this troubled economy, the peo-

ple of Shelby County have come through with their great generosity. With this year’s fantastic contributions we will have given Wilson Hospice program around $423,000 in donations over the last

20 years. This is to help our family members, friends and Shelby County neighbors spend their last moments peacefully. We appreciate all of you for your generosity and want to commend

Wilson Hospice Care for the great service they perform. May your new year be filled with peace and joy! The Caring at Christmas Committee Sara Barhorst Vickie Edwards Holly Urbanc

Are we under God or under the law? To the editor: As a youngster, growing up and attending school, I remember each morning reciting the Pledge of Allegiance to the flag and within that pledge all the students would say: “one nation under God.” As a man now, and a true believer in Jesus Christ, I have to pose a question: Are we a nation under God or are we a nation under the law? It was Jesus who said “man should always pray” (Luke 18:1) but man’s law says “no praying in school.” Men are even trying to pass some

laws which are an abomination to the Lord. This should not be! For instance, God said they shall not lie with mankind as with womankind; it is abomination (Leviticus 18:23), but the president said we must respect the rights of every man and woman. I repeat — are we under God or under the law? I have spoken to many gay people and have asked them, “Why are you gay?” Their reply was “I was born this way.” My reply was: “I totally disagree.” The Bible declares that everything God made

was good and very good (Genesis 1:31). Our nation is more concerned about human rights then the Word of God. The nation is more concerned about offending people than offending God. People are even trying to change the name from homosexual to a lifestyle. They call adultery/fornication “dating.” God calls it “sin.” 1 Timothy 2:2 tells us to pray for all that are in authority whether they are believers or non-believers, that we may lead a quiet and peaceful life. Praying for a person does not mean

approving of his or her behavior or actions. You make the call — “under God or under the law?” Now before the president takes office, he will be sworn in by putting his hand on the Bible — the same Bible that says homosexuality is sin; he says it is a right. How can a man swear on the Bible but reject the Word therein? It is like trying to bend over and stand up at the same time. I have presented the evidence; you give the verdict! Douglas W. Leslie 721 Linden Ave.

Ohio Farm Bureau wins top award from American Farm Bureau COLUMBUS — The Ohio Farm Bureau Federation (OFBF) received the top honor for a state organization during the American Farm Bureau Federation’s (AFBF) 2013 annual meeting this week in Nashville, Tenn. OFBF was presented the Pinnacle Award, which recognizes outstanding accomplishments in programming and membership. Qualifying it for the Pinnacle Award, OFBF also received the President’s Award for superior programming in leadership development, member services and public relations and communications. Additionally, Ohio won the Award for Excellence in all five programming areas including the President’s Award categories plus education and outreach, and pol-

icy development and implementation. Ohio competed against other state Farm Bureaus of similar size in the awards program. “This shows what members working together can accomplish,” said John C. (Jack) Fisher, executive vice president of Ohio Farm Bureau. “Our members, staff, friends at Nationwide and all our partners should be very proud of their organization.” Two Ohio county Farm Bureaus, Hamilton and Wayne, were among the top 25 county programs honored with AFBF’s County Activities of Excellence Award. Hamilton County was recognized for its program “Making Farm Bureau Relevant to the Equine Community” while Wayne County was honored for its pro-

gram “Animal Agriculture Educational Kiosks.” Both Ohio counties exhibited their programs at the AFBF trade show. Also during the national convention, Ohio’s discussion meet winner, Brad Heimerl of Johnstown, advanced to the Sweet 16 round of the national competition. Ohio’s Outstanding Young Farmer, Erik Scott of Georgetown, and Excellence in Agriculture winner Greg McGlinch of Versailles, also represented Ohio in the national contests. According to Fisher, Farm Bureau’s goal is to make a positive difference for its members and their communities. “Awards like these validate the work being done every day by Farm Bureau members across the state,” he said.

Beef Feedlot School planned BUCYRUS — Farmers and producers interested in learning more about beef feedlot nutrition and maximizing profits can participate in a discussion of the issues by experts from Ohio State University Extension during a Beef Feedlot School Jan. 30 and Feb. 13, 20 and 27 from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Crawford County Fairgrounds youth building, 610 Whetstone St. in Bucyrus. The school will focus on beef feedlot nutrition, maximizing profits by increasing feed efficiency and using byproducts to reduce feed costs, said Jason Hartschuh, OSU Extension coordinator in agriculture and natural resources, and organizer

of the event. “With the rising costs of inputs and grain prices being at record levels it will be important for feedlot producers to reduce expenses to increase profits to be competitive in the year to come,” he said. The beef feedlot school will feature a presentation by Francis Fluharty, a professor of ruminant nutrition at Ohio State. Fluharty specializes in feedlot nutrition and animal growth. The sponsor is OSU Extension, which is the statewide outreach arm of Ohio State University's College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences. Topics to be covered include:

• Jan. 30: Ruminant Digestive Physiology, Rumen Function, Carbohydrates. Note: This program will start at 6:30 with light sandwiches and time to meet the event sponsors. • Feb. 13: Protein Digestion and Metabolism, Protein Sources, DDGS. • Feb. 20: Receiving and Growing Strategies. • Feb. 27: Methodologies to Enhance Marbling and Feed Efficiency. Registration is $40 by Wednesday or $50 after that date. Participants can register online at http://www.cawford.osu.e du or by contacting the Crawford County OSU Extension office at (419) 562-8731. “The registration fee

includes access to all four classes,” Hartschuh said. “To get the most of the school, producers need to come to all four nights to get information that builds each night.” The sessions will also be recorded and broadcast live at Extension offices statewide. Producers who want to attend the school but aren’t able to travel to Bucyrus can contact their local extension office to participate in the office's web broadcast. Other sponsors include: Sunrise Cooperative, Purina, Quality Liquid Feeds; Cargill Animal Nutrition, Nutrena Feeds; West Side Feed; and North Central Veterinary Services.

Itchiness continues after treatment because the allergens are still present, but this should go away within two weeks. I should caution you that the mind is very powerful. The first few cases of scabies I saw as a doctor caused me to feel itchy all day — even though I knew that it was all in my head, it didn’t stop me from feeling itchy. There are many cases where the person is so convinced they have scabies that they itch and scratch, which itself causes the skin to be itchy, and the cycle continues. You need to be sure you actually have scabies, so a visit with the dermatologist, who may need to do a biopsy to be sure, is the right thing for you to do, given how long it has been going on. DEAR DR. ROACH: As my son matured to about the age of 45, his stomach seemed to get very large and protrude from under his rib cage. Is this due to not getting enough exercise? No one else in the family has this feature. — R.E.

ANSWER: Abdominal obesity is more common in men. This pattern is sometimes called an “apple” shape, as opposed to women, who more frequently gain weight in their hips and thighs (“pears”). Abdominal obesity is associated with a much higher risk for heart disease. It also predicts a higher risk of diabetes, high blood pressure and bad cholesterol numbers. Getting rid of the abdominal fat isn’t easy, and requires both more exercise and better eating for the best chance. Fortunately, even five or 10 pounds of weight loss can reduce the risk of heart disease. The booklet on fitness presents information on aerobics and abdominal exercises.

May you both enjoy many more happy years together.

does one send a thankyou note for a really, really bad “re-gift”? This Christmas I received a battered box with old, wrinkled, ripped tissue paper thrown in with a couple of items that appeared to be part of another gift. It looked like a food gift basket had been divided and piecemealed out to make more gifts. It is hurtful and insulting to be on the receiving end of something DEAR ABBY: How that’s not even “giftwor-

A gracious way to respond would be to thank the individual for thinking of you at such a meaningful time as Christmas. You do not have to lie and say the gift was “fabulous.”

Cavs handle Jackets 57-47 BY TONY ARNOLD

50 years ago Jan. 21, 1963 Russia and Fairlawn had a good one, with Russia holding on for a 60-55 victory in girls basketball action. Russia did it with balance as four players hit for double figures. Roni Albers, Jodi Cordonnier and Laura Grieshop all had 15 and Carolyn Sherman 10. For Fairlawn, Channon Gross had 17 and Melissa Williamson 16.

25 years ago Jan. 21, 1988 The Catholic Youth Organization’s cage lead of McCartyville’s Sacred Heart was extended to 11 in a row today after the Shamrocks smashed Piqua St. Boniface 57-19 at McCartyville on Sunday. Three double scorers led McCartyville, including Mike Bornhorst with 15, Jim Muhlenkamp with 12 and Dick Gibbs with 11.

QUOTE OF THE DAY “Earl Weaver stands alone as the greatest manager in the history of the Orioles organization and one of the greatest in the history of baseball. This is a sad day for everyone who knew him and for all Orioles fans” — Orioles owner Peter Angelos, on the death of EarlWeaver

ON THIS DATE IN 1921 — Kenesaw Mountain Landis takes office as baseball's commissioner. 1947 — Carl Hubbell, Frank Frisch, Mickey Cochrane, and Lefty Grove are elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame. 1953 — Dizzy Dean and Al Simmons are elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame. The baseball writers pass over Joe DiMaggio in his first year of eligibility.

For the second year in a row, Lehman notched a victory over crosstown rival Sidney, 57-47, in high school boys basketball action Saturday night at Sidney High School. After trailing early, the Cavaliers captured the lead in the closing minutes of the opening period, bounced back from a brief deficit in the second quarter, and led the rest of the way. With the victory Lehman improves to 6-7 on the year while Sidney dips to 2-13. Sidney is back in action Friday at home against Piqua. Lehman is off until Saturday when Houston comes to town. “We executed really well. We knew that Sidney could shoot. We got out on their shooters and forced some turnovers. We were able to capitalize. That was our best defensive effort all season,” said Lehman coach Isaiah Williams. Yellow Jacket James Daniel helped get Sidney going early as a pair of hoops by the senior forward gave the hosts an early 4-2 cushion. Daniel remained an offensive weapon early for the Jackets when he scored following a nifty pass from Tyree Manley to put Sidney up 6-3 and added another hoop to keep the Jackets on top 8-5. However, Lehman wasn’t kept in check for long. The Cavs took their first lead of the game when Connor Richard canned a triple and the visitors were up 10-8. Lehman maintained their pad into the second quarter when sophomore forward Jackson Frantz dropped a pair of freethrows in to make it 15-12. The Jackets regained the advantage when sophomore sharpshooter Eric Beigel swished a trey from the corner and Sidney enjoyed a 1615 lad. However, it was Lehman that closed out the half with a pivotal 10-0 run. The double digit spurt was ignited by a slick 16-foot jumper by Greg Spearman and capped off with a soft-touch floater in the lane by Frantz. The Cavalier run sent Lehman into the locker room with a 25-16 lead. “Give Lehman a lot of credit. Sometimes you make your own luck in those situations but they were quicker to the ball than we were tonight. Our kids did fight hard but we just couldn’t quite make the play. A lot of shots go in and out and we just didn’t finish and, like I said, a lot of the credit goes to Lehman. But we certainly feel like we should have played better,” said Sidney coach Greg Snyder. After halftime a pair of Sidney hoops started to make things interesting again. A triple by Conner Echols trimmed the deficit to 25 to 21 but much like the first half, the Cavs responded with a critical offensive burst. Lehman got a huge lift courtesy of a pair of triples in rapid-fire succession by Connor Richard. The second trey saw the Lehman lead swell to 33-23. “A couple times down four and down six and had a chance to make it really close. We couldn’t quite get over that hump. We got very close to the top but just couldn’t go over the top. There were plays to be made but we just could-

The Cavaliers defeated the Jackets 57-47. n’t quite make them tonight,” said Snyder. With the game moving into the fourth quarter, Lehman was able to answer another attempt at a Yellow Jacket comeback. When Beigel hit a pair of charity tosses the Cavalier cushion was reduced to half a dozen (42-36) at about the midway mark in the fourth. “We thought they were going we make a wave. If we could sustain the run, we could win this ball game and we were able to do it,” said Williams. Frantz, who had a big night for the Cavaliers, hit his first free-throw, missed the second one, but with a little bit of hustle grabbed the board and tossed it in and Lehman was up 45-36. “It wasn’t our best night. We had trouble making shots when we got them and early we knew they were going to switch defenses on us because that’s what they do. We just weren’t quite able to adjust quickly but once we did get adjusted we put ourselves in position to make plays but just weren’t able to. I thought the free-throw line killed us tonight. That was a big difference,” said Snyder. Down the stretch, Lehman hit the free-throws when it mattered most. The Cavs knocked down ten free-throws in the fourth quarter. “We have to be able to execute. I thought guys came off the bench and did what they are supposed to do. They sparked up our energy and finished around the rim, and we hit free-throws,” said Williams. Lehman placed three players in double figures, led by Spearman and Frantz who tossed in 14 points apiece. Richard tallied 11 points. James Daniel led all scor-

Tigers rally to escape upset at Anna ANNA — It looked like Jackson Center’s one-game lead in the County boys basketball standings was about to evaporate here Saturday Meyer night when Anna built a seven-point lead with under three minutes to play. But the Tigers rallied back to tie, then won it at the free throw line in a bizarre ending to escape with a 52-48 win in high school boys basketball action. The win puts the Tigers at 7-1 in the league and 12-2 overall heading into a huge County game Tuesday night at Botkins, which is just one game back. Anna is 3-5 and 5-10 and is at Russia Tuesday. “I thought we were in control of the game,” said coach Nate Anna Barhorst. “They never led until the final seconds. I give Jackson Center credit, but I think we beat ourselves. We just didn’t execute down the stretch and I thought we had overcome that with some of the wins we’ve had lately.” Gavin Wildermuth hit a couple of huge threes in the last three minutes of the game to bring the Tigers back. The score was deadlocked at 48-all, and after a missed Anna free throw, the Rockets fouled Jackson’s Alex Meyer at the other end.

Barhorst said the player committing the foul thought the Rockets were behind at the time. To make matters worse, it was called an intentional foul, putting Meyer at the line for two shots and giving Jackson the ball. Meyer, who was 11for-12 from the line in the game, hit both, then was fouled on the inbounds and hit two more to ice it. free throws His capped a 24-point final period for the Tigers. Meyer had just six points at the half but was unstoppable over the final two periods, adding 23 points to finish with 29. Trey Elchert added nine and Wildermuth eight.

Raiders lose to New Bremen NEW BREMEN — The Russia Raiders dug themselves a big hole early and couldn’t climb out in falling 68-55 to New Bremen Saturday on the road in boys basketball. The Raiders are now 5-10 after their second straight loss and will play Tuesday at home against Anna in County action. New Bremen ups its record to 12-2 and returns to action Friday at against New home Knoxville. “It was tough for either team to get into any flow tonight,” said coach Paul Raider Bremigan. “We got down early and turnovers and poor free throw shooting hurt us offensively in the first half. I thought we played better in the second half but we sent New Bremen to the line 28 times in the fourth quarter and they made 17. But I was proud of the way our players hung tough and battled down to the end.” There were 60 fouls called in the game and 69 free throws attempted.

The Sidney Lady Jackets continued their recent struggles and it cost them in Greater Western Ohio Conference North Division action Saturday. They lost to Greenville 44-41 and it left them at just 2-3 in the North and 9-7 overall. “We played from behind all afternoon,” said Sidney coach Megan Mummey. “We had a big fourth quarter (18 points) and that got us within reach, but Greenville got a big offensive rebound to seal the deal.” Sidney was down by two with 14.8 seconds left and Greenville missed the front end of a one-and-one. But Sidney gave up the offensive rebound and had to foul, and Greenville’s Galloway sank both free throws to ice it. Konner Harris had 23 to lead Sidney.

Ravens upset Patriots to make Super Bowl FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — Joe Flacco outdueled Tom Brady, throwing three touchdown passes in the second half and leading the Baltimore Ravens to their first Super Bowl in 12 years with a 28-13 victory over the New England Patriots on Sunday for the AFC championship. The win sets up the first Super Bowl coached by brothers, Baltimore's John Harbaugh and San Francisco's Jim. The 49ers won the NFC title earlier Sunday 28-24 at Atlanta. The 49ers have been listed as 5-point favorites.

Baltimore linebacker Ray Lewis' final season will conclude in two weeks in New Orleans; he was the MVP of the 2001 game, the Ravens' only Super Bowl win. Flacco had two touchdown passes to Anquan Boldin and one to Dennis Pitta as the Ravens outscored the Patriots 21-0 in the second half. Baltimore's defense made Brady look ordinary and stymied the league's top offense. Brady was 67-0 at home when leading at halftime.

49ers 28, Falcons 24 ATLANTA (AP) — The clutch quarterback. The genius coach. The

big-play defense. The San Francisco 49ers are ready to start a new dynasty with a familiar formula. Next stop, the Big Easy. Colin Kaepernick and Frank Gore led San Francisco to a record comeback in the NFC game championship Sunday, overcoming an early 17-0 deficit to beat the Atlanta Falcons 2824 and send the 49ers to their first Super Bowl since 1995. Gore scored a pair of touchdowns, including the winner with 8:23 remaining for San Francisco’s first lead of the day, and the 49ers de-

fense made it stand up. A fourth-down stop at the 10-yard line denied Atlanta another stirring comeback after blowing a big lead. “Everybody does a little,” 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh said, “and it adds up to be a lot.” San Francisco (13-4-1) moves on to face either New England or Baltimore at New Orleans in two weeks, looking to join Pittsburgh as the only franchises with six Super Bowl titles. It could be a brother-vs.brother matchup, too, since John Harbaugh coaches the Ravens. Joe Montana led the 49ers to four Super Bowl

wins and Steve Young took them to No. 5. It’s up to Kaepernick and Co. to get No. 6. “He just competes like a maniac all the time,” said Harbaugh, whose much-debated decision to bench Alex Smith at midseason now looks like the best move of the year. Harbaugh was hoppin’ mad when a disputed call went against the 49ers on Atlanta’s potential winning drive. He leaped in the air, screamed at the officials and had to be restrained by his staff from charging the field. No complaints when it was over. “We rose up there at

Baseball loses Musial, Weaver One was born in St. Louis, the other became a star there. Aside from that, Earl Weaver and Stan Musial were about as different as two Hall of Famers could be. “Talk about your odd couple,” said George Vecsey, the longtime sports columnist for The New York Times who wrote a recent biography of Musial. Weaver was a 5-foot-6 rabble rouser whose penchant for quarreling with umpires belied a cerebral approach to managing that has stood the test of time. Musial was a humble slugger with a funky batting stance who was beloved by Cardinals fans and respected by pretty much everyone else. Saturday began with news of Weaver’s death at age 82, and by the end of the night Musial had died, too, leaving baseball to reflect on two distinguished careers rich in contrasts. “Earl was well known for being one of the game’s most colorful characters with a memorable wit, but he was also amongst its most loyal,” Commissioner Bud Selig said. Selig later released a statement after Musial’s death at age 92. “Stan’s life embodies baseball’s unparalleled history and why this

game is the national pastime. As remarkable as ‘Stan the Man’ was on the field, he was a true gentleman in life,” Selig said. A three-time MVP and seven-time National League batting champion, Musial helped the Cardinals win three World Series championships in the 1940s. His popularity in St. Louis can be measured by the not one, but two statues that stand in his honor outside Busch Stadium. After his death Saturday, Cardinals of more recent vintage began offering condolences almost immediately. “Sad to hear about Stan the Man, it’s an honor to wear the same uniform,” said a message posted on the Twitter account of Cardinals outfielder Matt Holliday. Albert Pujols, who led St. Louis to World Series titles in 2006 and 2011 before leaving as a free agent before last season, offered prayers for Musial’s family via Twitter. “I will cherish my friendship with Stan for as long as I live,” said a message posted on Pujols’ site. “Rest in Peace.” Weaver was born in

St. Louis, but his greatest success came as a manager in Baltimore. He took the Orioles to the World Series four times, winning one title in 1970. Never a fan of smallball strategies like bunting and stealing bases, Weaver preferred to wait for a three-run homer, always hoping for a big inning that could break the game open. “No one managed a ballclub or pitching staff better than Earl,” said Davey Johnson, who played under Weaver with the Orioles. Johnson now manages the Washington Nationals and ran the Orioles from 1996-97. “He was decades ahead of his time,” Johnson said. “Not a game goes by that I don’t draw on something Earl did or said. I will miss him every day.” While Musial could let his bat do the talking, Weaver was more than willing to shout to be heard. His salty-tongued arguing with umpires will live on through YouTube, and Orioles programs sold at the old Memorial Stadium frequently featured photos of Weaver squabbling. Former umpire Don Denkinger remembered a game in which the manager disputed a call with Larry McCoy at the plate. “Earl tells us, ‘Now I’m gonna show you how stupid you all are.’ Earl

Sidney has two placers at Top Gun ALLIANCE — Sidney had two placers in the Alliance Top Gun Wrestling Tournament, held over the weekend. The tournament featured six teams ranked in the top 10 in the state in their divisions. Mason Calvert finished fourth at 138 pounds and Garrick Ginter was fourth at 160 for Sidney’s best finishes. Two other wrestlers lost in the match to place, including Jacob Sharp and Jacob Lochard. Sidney 25 more points this year than last year, even though it had one less placer. The big difference was the balanced scoring and 11 pins,

which translates to 22 bonus points. Overall, the Jackets were 17th out of 44 teams. Ginter is the “wrestler of the week.” “Garrick wrestled with the best intensity he has had all year,” said coach Jim McCracken. “He went 4-3 in the tournament and all four victories were by pins. He actually lost twice to Maloy of North Canton Hoover (ranked 8th in the state at 160 lbs.). The last meeting of the two Garrick lost only 8-4. Maloy had a very unusual style of mat wrestling that frustrated Ginter the first meeting. Garrick was in that sec-

ond one. He’s only a sopomore but he’s 24-6 with 16 pins. He was physical in this tournament, so watch for him to do well in the postseason.” Calvert was third seeded entering the tournament. “He breezed through the first three rounds really unchallenged,” said the coach. “In the semifinals he met Forrider of Marysville who is top ranked in the state at 138 lbs. The two met last season in the semifinals of the consolations at the state meet. That was a close match with Forrider winning. “I was pleased with Mason's conslation semi-finals bout. He

His second-year quarterback, who runs like a track star, didn’t get a chance to show off his touchdown celebration ‚Äî flexing his right arm and kissing his bicep, a move that quickly became a social media sensation known as Kaepernicking. But he shredded the Falcons through the air by completing 16 of 21 for 233 yards, including a 4-yard touchdown to Vernon Davis, and had them so worried about his running ability out of the spread option that Gore and LaMichael James had plenty of room.
