Volunteers help younger generation read BY BETHANY J. ROYER Civitas Media broyer@civitasmedia.com PIQUA — The ability to read and to do so well, can provide a lifetime benefit to a child. “We really are helping the child prepare for life, for school, reading is the cornerstone of all learning,” said Greg Morrow, RSVP (Retired and Senior Volunteer Program) director for Council on Rural Services of their new Reading Buddies Program for preschoolers that will partner with A Learning Place preschools. Council for Rural Services serves Logan, Shelby, Miami and Darke Counties. “Some studies show that if a child struggles with reading at that age and if it isn’t better by third grade, then they are going to keep struggling,” Morrow said. “That leads to frustration in the classroom, which could lead to juvenile offensives, dropping out.” According to Morrow, studies have also shown that children of low-income See READ/Page 4

Quincy to put levies on ballot QUINCY – During its second January meeting Tuesday, Quincy Village Council adopted resolutions to proceed with preparations to place both a general operating and a street fund tax levy on the May primary election ballot. Both issues would be for 2 mills. The fiscal officer will contact the Logan County Auditor to request tax amounts to be generated and council will then adopt separate resolutions to place the levies before voters. Jeff Clevenger, the joint sewer plant’s operator of record, proposed a change in the plant’s method of sludge removal. Presently, sludge is dried, removed twice per year and land applied. He proposes using the Logan County landfill to dispose of sludge in liquid form. Clevenger told council money can be saved in testing and other costs involved in drying sludge. The proposal will be presented during the joint board’s Feb. 4 meeting. He also reported corrosion of bolts, screens and the building’s structure will be discussed, New bolts of stainless steel and vent fans at both ends of the building are being considered to combat toxic chemicals in such a small area. Mayor Dan Robinson reported a Neighborhood Watch program will be resumed in March. Meetings will be held the first Monday each month at 7 p.m. in council chambers. He said several issues have taken place, most in broad daylight. Kirk Hermandollar reported the water department is experiencing excessive water usage. Council is asking citizens to watch for any area where excessive groundwater is found and contact his office at 935-3950. Large puddles of water or bubbling standing water are typical instances. Hermandollar also told council he will be attending school to obtain his Sewer Collection II license. Council was informed four of its seats will become vacant Dec. 31. Candidates are advised to contact the Logan County Board of Elections for candidate filing information. Since Jan. 7, all independent contractors performing services in the village must complete a Public Employee Retirement System form declaring their participation in a retirement program or become a village employee within 30 days of being contracted for a job. The meeting included am executive session to discuss personnel issues. No action was taken. Council’s next regular meeting will be Feb. 5 at 7:30 p.m.

Bowers pleads guilty to arson WAPAKONETA — Chad Bowers, 29, of New Bremen, has pled guilty to aggravated arson, a second-degree felony. During a hearing this week in the Auglaize County Common Pleas Court in Wapakoneta, Bowers admitted setting fire on Feb. 25, 2012, to his former home at 31 W. Fifth St., Minster, because he was angry with his pregnant girlfriend. He faces a maximum eight years in prison and a $15,000 fine. He could also be ordered to repay his insurance company the $102,000 which the company had remitted to the firm that holds the mortgage on the former residence. Auglaize County Assistant Prosecutor BenElder has jamin requested that Bowers also be required to pay $1,442.56 to the state fire marshal’s office, the cost of the office’s aid in the investigation. In addition, Bowers could be required to repay the
Minster Fire Department for its expenses in the matter. A sentencing date has not been set. Bowers had been charged earlier on the night of the fire with criminal trespassing and assault for an altercation at his mother’s home. He said he had been drunk when he started the conflagration at his house by setting fire to his girlfriend’s teddy bear after learning she was pregnant. Flames were in full force by 11:30 p.m. During the court hearing, Bowers became very emotional, crying and begging the judge to let him keep his job in Sidney at a retail store. He said that he has quit drinking alcohol and undergone counseling. According to his attorney, John Poppe, Bowers and his girlfriend have reconciled and are raising his now-3-month-old son together.
Teen, tried as adult, sentenced to probation A 16-year-old tried as an adult in Shelby County Common Pleas Court has been sentenced to five years of probation and ordered to pay $30 restitution plus court costs after pleading guilty to a charge of breaking and entering. He also was ordered to earn his G.E.D. Levi William Fitchpatrick, 16, 16414 East
St., Kettlersville, was found to be a delinquent child in juvenile court and determined to be prosecuted as an adult on a charge of burglary, a third-degree felony. The charge stemmed from an incident in which he entered the home of Tyler Oakley at 302 1/2 N. West Ave. and took items of his property, which he then sold for profit.
Trio plead not guilty to charges In Shelby County Common Pleas Court Wednesday, J.P. King, 38, 225 S.

Obama wants Cordray back as consumer watchdog ers. Obama noted that Cordray needs Senate approval to keep his job. institu“Financial tions have plenty of lobbyists looking out for their interests. The American people need Richard to keep standing up for them,” Obama said Thursday. “And there’s absolutely no excuse for the Senate to wait any longer to confirm him.” Cordray thanked the president for his confidence. “We understand that our mission is to stand on the side of consumers — our mothers and fathers, sisters and brothers, sons and daughters — and see that they’re treated fairly,” he said. The standoff with Senate Republicans that led to Cordray’s entry onto the national stage was atypical for the intelligent, softspoken repeat “Jeop-

Cordray earned a law degree from the University of Chicago and a master’s in economics from the University of Oxford. He interned for then-U.S. Sen. John Glenn, the astronaut,

Crime lab chief dies while scuba diving KEY LARGO, Fla. (AP) — The director of Ohio’s state crime lab died while scuba diving, authorities said Thursday. Ronald Dye, of Grove City, Ohio, and a buddy were diving about 6 miles offshore Wednesday when they surfaced after about 25 minutes, Monroe County Sheriff’s officials said. The friend told deputies Dye was low on air and that Dye then indicated something was wrong, but he didn’t tell him what it was.
The captain of a commercial dive vessel, Tropical Adventures, told deputies a crew member went into the water with a rescue buoy and helped the men back to the boat. A crew member started CPR and the boat headed for the dock, but the 56year-old Dye was declared dead a short time later at a hospital. The cause of death wasn’t immediately clear, and an autopsy was scheduled. The office of Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine said Dye had led the Bu-
reau of Criminal Investigation lab for the past year-and-a-half and was credited with helping to cut the turnaround time for DNA evidence testing there. Dye had worked for more than 30 years at the lab, which provides law enforcement with services such as help in processing evidence from crime scenes. He rose through the ranks until he was chosen to lead the lab after a national search, and he was excited to be part of the state’s new forensic
dive team announced last year, DeWine said Thursday. “He was a true professional, great guy to work with, very open to innovation,” DeWine said. He described Dye as a quiet, well-liked employee who was easy to work with and known for maintaining high standards at the lab. DeWine said Dye had pushed for the lab to pursue a lengthy accreditation process, and the office learned the day he died that the lab had received accreditation.

Family and Consumer Science teacher Cindy Lieurance, who also serves as the FCCLA adviser at SMS. “Last year was our first year doing this. Our group had set a school-wide goal for raising $500, and to all our surprise, we raised more than $1,700,” Lieurance said. “The Sidney Middle School students really embraced the cause.” Lieurance encourages students to donate each morning on the announcements and at lunch from the stage. The driving force for classes to win is the home-cooked breakfast provided by the FCCLA Pennies for Patients committee, who will arrive bright and early on Feb. 1 to prepare the meal. “This project is a win-win for
everyone. Students get to feel great about donating to a worthy cause, they get to participate in a little healthy competition, and my FCCLA group gets to learn about service and put to use some of the skills they learn in my classroom. Most importantly, we contribute, as a school, to a very worthy cause,” said Lieurance. FCCLA, formerly FHA, is a dynamic and effective national student organization that helps young men and women become leaders and address important personal, family, work, and societal issues through Family and Consumer Sciences education. Nationally, FCCLA has more than 190,000 members and nearly 6,500 chapters from 50 state associations. The organi-
zation has involved more than 10 million youth since its founding in 1945. The Sidney Middle School chapter, in its second year of existence is comprised of 46 seventh- and eighth-grade boys and girls, much of that due to their adviser. Various committees take part in a variety of service projects like ‘Pennies for Patients,” an afterschool Fun Day, making ponchos for students in wheelchairs and more. In February, SMS FCCLA members will take part in the Power of One, a national program that helps students find and use their personal power. Members set their own goals, work to achieve them, enjoy the results, and present their projects to FCCLA leaders.
READ backgrounds entering kindergarten have an average 3,000 word vocabulary, while their middle income counterparts have 20,000 words. If intervention is delayed until age seven, 75 percent of children will continue having difficulty and, “A lot of families just don’t read with their kids, one on one,” said Morrow, with teachers unable to provide one-on-one attention to each child in a classroom. A program such as Reading Buddies can make up the difference by providing the extra boost, direction, and focus such at-risk children need. Morrow, who is fairly new to the facility, having come on board in September 2012, works with federal grants to
From Page 1 engage seniors, 55 and better, in volunteer opportunities such as Reading Buddies, which is also open to anyone 18 and over. “It’s very much available to 55 and older, but 18, you can do it,” said Morrow, who grew up in Miami County, went to graduate school and returned to live near family when he was hired on as director of the program. “It’s a great job.” So far, a search for volunteers in Shelby County has proved successful with nearly 20 individuals responsing to advertising. Morrow is hoping for more, as he believes the true success behind the program lies in people realizing that reading to a child does not take a lot of knowledge, know-how, or time.
“It’s a unique thing that doesn’t take long, or a load of training to do, and its a minimal commitment,” said Morrow. “It’s just go in there, spend an hour and read to four or five kids.” Training will be provided for volunteers who pass a background check and physical (both provided free of charge) and have their own transportation. The first orientation will be held from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. Friday, Feb. 1, at Council On Rural Services, 201 R.M. Davis Parkway, Piqua. “There will be ongoing support and they’ll be in the classroom with teachers,” Morrow said of continued, on-hand assistance for volunteers. “We have, right in-house, all the experts to provide the training, the best
practices to read to kids. It’s a really good fit for us.” For the remainder of the school year and next, Reading Buddies will focus on preschool-aged children, with expansion the following year to higher grade levels, up to second grade, so that every child has an opportunity to read in the program. Those interested in being a volunteer may contact Morrow at (937) 778-5220 for more information. “It may seem like it’s very simple but the most simple things that we do make the biggest difference, it doesn’t have to be this great (big) thing that you do to make a difference,” Morrow said. “By reading to a little preschooler you could be changing the course of someone’s life.”

Closing arguments heard in murder trial BY WILL E SANDERS Civitas Media wsanders@civitasmedia.com TROY — The case against accused child murderer Travis Lee Gauldin ended Thursday in Miami County Common Pleas Court as closing arguments were delivered in the case involving a 4-year-old Piqua girl’s death. First Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Tony Kendell and Public Defender Steve King both gave their closing arguments during the second day of Gauldin’s murder trial. Gauldin, 22, of Troy, has entered a plea of not guilty to a lone count of murder stemming from the death of Malisa Louann DeLaSancha, 4. Malisa died April 14, two days after prosecutors say she was intentionally burned with a lighter on her hands and feet and slammed and thrown into a living room wall by Gauldin as the victim’s two siblings watched in horror. Gauldin, who lived at the residence with the mother of the children, maintains Malisa fell down the stairs, but expert medical testimony discounted his claim in court. Initially, the two siblings told authorities their sister fell down the stairs, which matched Gauldin’s description of what took place on the night of April 12 at 1012 Caldwell St. Days later after Gauldin was arrested, however, the then 6- and 8-year-old brother and sister told a children’s services official what really happened. Both children tearfully recollected the night of the tragedy Wednesday from the witness stand and testified they lied because Gauldin threatened to kill them if they didn’t. “The children told you what really happened,” Kendell said. “They said what they seen and they have never faulted from that. They’d just seen him, essentially, murder their baby sister.” Malisa was airlifted to Children’s Medical Hospital where she died two days later. She never fully regained consciousness at any point after the assault. A coroner ruled the death a homicide as a result of multiple blunt force trauma to the head, neck and chest while another medical expect testified the child’s injuries were so severe that medical intervention would not help her because the assault that caused the wounds “neurologically devastated” the toddler. Malisa suffered from a herniated brain stem, expert testimony concluded. “I am confident that once you apply the evidence … you will come to one conclusion and that is the defendant is guilty of murder,” Kendell said. “I believe we proved this case beyond a reasonable doubt.” In his closing remarks King called the case “heart-wrenching” and “emotional,” but said he believes there are key pieces to the case missing, including that of the many injuries the victim sustained could not be dated to a specific cause or time. King stated the mother of Malisa, Mandy Kolker, had admitted in the past of using “questionable discipline measures,” which included corporal punishment and sometimes a belt. He said Kolker entrusted her children to Gauldin and that “there were no red lights to cause the mother … not to trust the care of such a person (Gauldin).” “We will accept the verdict, whatever it may be … and that it will be fair to Travis,” King concluded. Afterward, Judge Christopher Gee stated he would announce the verdict in court in the near future, but did not officially schedule a day and time. If convicted of murder Gauldin faces 15 years to life in prison, but he also could be convicted a lesser included offense, which consist of reckless homicide, voluntary manslaughter or involuntary manslaughter.
Kasich touts Ohio comeback at economic forum COLUMBUS (AP) — Ohio Gov. John Kasich has taken his message on Ohio’s economic comeback to the world stage. The Republican governor was among political, business and other leaders from around the globe participating in the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. He was appearing in separate sessions Thursday and Friday. In presentations, media interviews and private business meetings, Kasich shared the story of Ohio’s improved
budget and employment picture during the two years he’s been governor. Kasich repeated the themes he conveyed at last year’s Republican National Convention and often highlights at his Ohio appearances. They include dovetailing educational offerings with available jobs and reducing government red tape. A Kasich spokesman said the governor also is marketing Ohio to leaders in the advanced manufacturing, transportation, chemical and oil and gas industries.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama wants former Ohio Attorney General Richard Cordray to stay on as head of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Obama on Thursday named Cordray to continue in the role he’s held since the president used a recess appointment about a year ago to bypass congressional opposition and install him. That appointment expires at the end of this year. Senate Republicans had opposed Cordray, as well as the concept of the consumer bureau, saying it had too much power with too little input from Congress. The bureau was created as part of the 2010 overhaul of the nation’s financial regulations, to defend consumer rights with banks, mortgage companies, the credit-card industry, payday lenders and oth-

Daniel Shays failed to capture an arsenal at Springfield, Mass. • In 1890, reporter Nellie Bly (Elizabeth Cochrane) of the New York World completed a roundthe-world journey in 72 days, 6 hours and 11 minutes. The United Mine Workers of America was founded in Columbus, Ohio. • In 1915, Alexander Graham Bell inaugurated U.S. transcontinental telephone service between New York and San Francisco. • In 1936, former Gov. Al Smith, D-N.Y., delivered a radio address in Washington, titled “Betrayal of the Democratic Party,” in which he fiercely criticized the New Deal policies of President Franklin D. Roosevelt. • In 1947, American gangster Al Capone died in Miami Beach, Fla., at age 48. • In 1949, the first Emmy Awards, honoring local Los Angeles TV programs and talent, were presented at the Hollywood Athletic Club. • In 1961, President John F. Kennedy held the first presidential news conference to be carried live on radio and television. • In 1971, Charles Manson and three women followers were convicted in Los Angeles of murder and conspiracy in the 1969 slayings of seven people, including actress Sharon Tate. Idi Amin seized power in Uganda by ousting President Milton Obote in a military coup. • In 1981, the 52 Americans held hostage by Iran for 444 days arrived in the United States. • In 1993, a gunman shot and killed two CIA employees outside agency headquarters in Virginia (Pakistani national Mir Aimal Kansi was later tried and convicted of the shootings, and executed). Sears announced that it would no longer publish its famous century-old catalog.
OUT OF THE BLUE Goat cleared of vandalism SYDNEY (AP) — Gary the flower-eating goat's graze with Australian police has ended with his comedian owner getting the last laugh in court. A Sydney judge ruled Wednesday that neither the goat nor his owner could be found guilty of vandalism over an August incident when Gary decided to snack on a flowerbed outside a city museum. Police at the time leveled a fine of 440 Australian dollars ($465) against owner Jim Dezarnaul, a comedian known as Jimbo Bazoobi. But man and goat got their day in court, with Gary arriving resplendent in a colorful hat on Wednesday. The brown-and-white goat didn’t testify, but he had his own lawyer. Owner Dezarnaul said the case serves as a lesson to overzealous authorities, “and that’s ‘Don’t bite off more than you can chew.’”

Kerry tackles questions WASHINGTON (AP) — Sen. John Kerry, President Barack Obama’s nominee for secretary of state, collected pledges of support Thursday and testified at his confirmation hearing that U.S. foreign policy should be defined by a helping hand as well as military strength. The Massachusetts Democrat discussed Iran, Syria, climate change and a variety of issues with members of the Foreign Relations Committee at a hearing that recalled an unusual American life — son of a diplomat, Navy lieutenant who volunteered for Vietnam, anti-war protester, five-term senator, unsuccessful nominee
for president, and Obama’s unofficial envoy. The nearly four-hour hearing also provided an odd juxtaposition as Kerry, a member of the panel for 28 years and its chairman for the last four, sat alone in the witness chair. At one point, Sen. Bob Menendez, D-N.J., the incoming chairman who presided, mistakenly referred to Kerry as “Mr. Secretary.” The current secretary, Hillary Rodham Clinton, introduced Kerry, calling him “the right choice.” She is stepping down after four years. The committee is expected to approve Kerry’s nomination. A full Senate vote will take
place Tuesday, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said. “American foreign policy is not defined by drones and deployments alone,” Kerry said in outlining his views. “We cannot allow the extraordinary good we do to save and change lives to be eclipsed entirely by the role we have had to play since Sept. 11, a role that was thrust upon us.” Kerry spoke out strongly for dealing with climate change, providing food and energy security and humanitarian assistance. He also spoke of robust foreign aid, but he insisted that the country must get its fiscal house in order to lead in the world.
“More than ever, foreign policy is economic policy,” said Kerry, who described himself as a “recovering member of the supercommittee.” That bipartisan panel failed in 2011 in its mandate to come up with a deficit-cutting plan. Faced with Iran’s nuclear program, Kerry said the United State will do what it must to prevent Tehran from obtaining a nuclear weapon, but he also signaled that diplomacy remains a viable option. “I repeat here today: Our policy is not containment. It is prevention, and the clock is ticking on our efforts to secure responsible compliance,” Kerry said.

PEOPLE WATCH a TV news showing file footage of a North Korean rocket carried during a military parade, at Seoul Railway Station in Seoul, South Korea, Thursday. North Korea’s top governing body warned Thursday that the regime will conduct its third nuclear test in defiance of U.N. punishment, and made clear that its long-range rockets are designed to carry not only satellites but also warheads aimed at striking the United States.
NKorea warns of nuke test SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — North Korea’s top governing body warned Thursday that the regime will conduct its third nuclear test in defiance of U.N. punishment, and made clear that its long-range rockets are designed to carry not only satellites but also warheads aimed at striking the United States. The National Defense Commission, headed by the country’s young leader, Kim Jong Un, denounced Tuesday’s U.N. Security Council resolution condemning North Korea’s longrange rocket launch in December as a banned missile activity and expanding sanctions against the regime. The commission reaffirmed in its declaration that the launch was a peaceful bid to send a satellite into space, but also clearly indicated the country’s rocket launches have a military purpose: to strike and attack the United States. While experts say North Korea doesn’t have the capability to hit the U.S. with its missiles, recent tests and rhetoric indicate the country is feverishly working toward that goal. The commission pledged to keep launching satellites and rockets and to conduct a nuclear test as part of a “new phase” of combat with the United States, which it blames for leading the U.N. bid to punish Pyongyang. It said a nuclear test was part of “upcoming” action but did not say exactly when or where it would take place. “We do not hide that a variety of satellites and long-range rockets which will be launched by the DPRK one after another and a nuclear test of higher level which will be carried out by it in the upcoming all-out action, a new phase of the anti-U.S. struggle that has lasted century after century, will target against the U.S.,
the sworn enemy of the Korean people,” the commission said, referring to North Korea by its official name, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea. “Settling accounts with the U.S. needs to be done with force, not with words, as it regards jungle law as the rule of its survival,” the commission said. It was a rare declaration by the powerful commission once led by late leader Kim Jong Il and now commanded by his son. The statement made clear Kim Jong Un’s commitment to continue developing the country’s nuclear and missile programs in defiance of the Security Council, even at risk of further international isolation. North Korea’s allusion to a “higher level” nuclear test most likely refers to a device made from highly enriched uranium, which is easier to miniaturize than the plutonium bombs it tested in 2006 and 2009, said Cheong Seongchang, an analyst at the private Sejong Institute in South Korea. Experts say the North Koreans must conduct further tests of its atomic devices and master the technique for making them smaller before they can be mounted as nuclear warheads onto long-range missiles. Shortly before the commission issued its declaration, U.S. envoy on North Korea Glyn Davies urged Pyongyang not to explode an atomic device. “Whether North Korea tests or not, it’s up to North Korea. We hope they don’t do it. We call on them not to do it,” he told reporters in Seoul after meeting with South Korean officials. “It will be a mistake and a missed opportunity if they were to do it.”
COMBAT cal standards will be lowered just to send more women closer to the battlefront. “I fundamentally believe that our military is more effective when success is based solely on ability and qualifications and on performance,” Panetta said at a Pentagon news conference. “Not everyone is going to be able to be a combat soldier. But everyone is entitled to a chance.” It won’t happen quickly or easily. But in the end, he said, the U.S. military and America will be stronger for it. Dempsey did not rule out women serving even as members of elite special operations forces, including the Army’s Delta Force and the Navy’s SEALs, whose members killed 9/11 mastermind Osama bin Laden. Dempsey said that because of the particularly punishing physical standards and training required for those teams, it might be years before they include women. But he added: “I think we all believe
CHICAGO (AP) — Minutes before an American was sentenced to 35 years in prison for helping plan a deadly attack on Mumbai, India, one of his victims tearfully pleaded for a harsh punishment despite the terrorist plotter’s widespread cooperation with U.S. investigators following his arrest. David Coleman Headley, 52, shifted uncomfortably in a gray tracksuit and kept his eyes fixed on the Chicago courtroom floor Thursday as he listened to the American children’s author describe the violent chaos during her 2008 vacation to India. Bullets flew past her cheek and panicked diners dived under tables as gunmen burst into a hotel restaurant then walked around executing people one by one, recalled Linda Ragsdale, at times almost shouting as she stood just a few feet from Headley during the sentencing hearing. More than 160 people died in the attack, including children. “I know the sweet sickening smell of gunfire and blood,” said Ragsdale, 53, of Nashville, Tenn., who was shot through the back — the bullet passing along her spine and then out her thigh. “I know what a bullet can do to every part of the human body … These are things I never needed to know, never needed to experience.” Others victimized by the attack that has been called India’s 9/11 said they were disturbed and upset Headley did not get the maximum life sentence he faced. With credit for good behavior, he could walk out of prison before he turns 80. “He lost his right to live life as a free man. He doesn’t deserve to be let out. He gave up that right when he played a role in the attack,” said Kia Scherr, whose husband Alan Scherr and 13-year-old daughter, Naomi, were at the same table as Ragsdale and died.
From Page 1 that there will be women who can meet those standards.” Recent surveys and experiences suggest the transition may not always be easy. When the Marine Corps sought women to go through its tough infantry course last year, two volunteered, and both failed to complete the course. And there may not be a wide clamoring from women for the more intense, dangerous and difficult jobs, including some infantry and commando positions. Representatives of the military services said they will look at each job and military specialty that is currently closed to women and examine the requirements that troops must meet. In some cases — because of equipment upgrades, new technology and automation — the requirements may change, but in no case will they lower the standards in order to allow women to qualify. As an example, a loader on a tank crew must be able to lift a 50-pound, twofoot-long artillery shell, spin 180 degrees
and load it into a tank’s cannon. Because of space constraints in the tank, it requires a great deal of upper body strength to hoist the shell. Troops asked about the change said they just want comrades who can do the job. “This gives us more people to work with,” said Sgt. Jeremy Grayson, assigned to field infantry at Fort Bliss, Texas. “But they would have to be able to do the physical stuff that men do. Like in some jobs in infantry you’re out there for a long time, or in artillery there is heavy work. And they have to be able to pull their own weight.” As a graduate of the U.S. Military Academy at West Point two years before women were admitted, Dempsey said he has seen the changes over time. In 2003, when he went to Baghdad as commander of the 1st Armored Division, Dempsey recalled that he jumped into a Humvee on his first foray out of the forward operating base.

Lehman students at Science Olympiad The Lehman Catholic High School Science Olympiad team placed 38th out of 60 teams in an invitational recently at Wright State University. Schools competing in this event came from 11 states. In Science Olympiad, students on each team compete individually or in groups in a series of 23 events that test their knowledge of science skills, processes, and applications in biology, chemistry, physics, technology, earth science, and mathematics. All schools compete together without divisions based on school size. At this invitational, Lehman placed in the top half of the competitors in six events. Michelle Duritsch and Olivia Sehlhorst earned a ribbon by placing seventh in Write It, Do It. Allison

had an extra chore this morning, though. Kevin usually gathers the eggs at night and must have forgotten to close the chicken house doors. So Susan, with the help of our border collie dog, gathered the 40 chickens and mean rooster into the chicken coop. We are still getting 40 to 46 eggs a day. All we can figure out is, some hens are laying more than one egg a day. Needless to say, we still have plenty of eggs. I told Joe we better get our “eggs for sale” sign back out. Every week, making noodles seems to get pushed back. God’s blessings to all; enjoy this easy recipe!

After that, I had to take Loretta for her appointment. therapy Susan had to babysit all day, so she was not home to help me with the laundry. I guess I am spoiled when I do not have help to do the laundry when she is working. This winter seems to be going fast and I keep thinking that we need to butcher beef and pork. Winters used to seem to last forever when the children were all younger. Now they seem to fly by just as fast as the other seasons. Our neighbor, Irene, gave us four 1000-piece puzzles and it seems we don’t have time to put those together. Next week, our second oldest child has her 17th birthday.

Reichert said the district had been doing “anything and everything” to trim expenses, but “like all small districts, we don’t operate with a lot of fat. There really isn’t a lot that can be cut without significantly affecting the quality of what we do.” The superintendent noted that for all schools, much of the operating budget — usually 75 to 80 percent — is in wages and personnel. He said the Jackson Center district has eliminated seven positions and outsourced or scaled back
on another five. “For us, those 12 positions — and actually 13 by next year — that’s a pretty healthy percentage of our total manpower,” Reichert said, adding that the district has about 62 or 63 positions right now. For example, he said that IT (information technology) functions have been outsourced, so teachers now need to have more of a working knowledge of their technology and do more of their own troubleshooting. He said it is not ideal, but “we get by with that. We make it work.” Reichert said the last time the levy was on the ballot, the school did not have an official committee — this time they do, and they’re doing more outreach, too. Mitch Keith is the committee chairman. “We’re going to people’s houses,” Reichert said. “Just trying to share the facts of why the numbers are the way they are and why we need this.”
Edison hosts focus groups
Wagner wins bee
Participants were divided into small groups and had the opportunity to share opinions on seven specific topics related to role Edison can and should play in the future. “This meeting has given us a chance to create goals to aim for that will shape the strategic plan,” said Paul Heintz, associate professor of psychology and sociology. “It’s important for the college’s future to have clear goals in place.” “By hosting this series of meetings we hope to gain a clearer understanding of how we can meet the needs for higher education and
workforce development of the area,” said Dr. Cris Valdez, Edison president. “This process allows us to both better understand the needs of our community and allows the community to share in the ownership of Edison.” More than 100 people have attended the first two sessions, and the college is expecting 200 more to attend the events in late January. Anyone who would like to participate in one of the future meetings, or would like to receive information about the final plan, should contact the president’s office at (937) 778-8600.

DR. WALLACE: About a month ago, I met a young lady at a friend’s holiday party. I didn’t stay long, but I asked for her phone number before I left, and she gave it to me. I’ve gone out with her three times and had super times. Last night, I ran into a friend at the mall who knows this girl and asked if I was still dating her, and I said yes. She then said, “Do you know that she is married, but separated from her husband, and that she is 22 years old?” Wow, this really blew my mind. I called Eden, and she confirmed all this was true. She also said that she had a 2-year-old son who was staying with her mother. I really care for Eden, and she said that she still wanted to go out
with me.What should I do? I’m 18 and will be attending Purdue University in the fall. —Nameless, Indianapolis, Ind. NAMELESS: If you were not going to the university and had a full-time job and Eden was legally separated or divorced, I’d say continue seeing her. But that’s not the case, so end the relationship with her before it becomes a serious romance that could complicate your educational plans and future.

THIS GAME program, from a Sept. 14, 1973, Sidney High School football game, was dedicated to Zack Crusey, longtime sports editor of the Sidney Daily News, who had suffered a stroke earlier that year. The caricatures show Crusey on the job, doing the things he loved.
Crusey was so well-known in sporting circles that when he suffered a debilitating stroke in 1973, he received a get-well card signed by members of that year’s Cincinnati Reds. Included were signatures of Gary Nolan, Cesar Geronimo, Don Gullett, Jack Billingham and others. Also, on Sept. 14 of that year, Sidney High School dedicated its home football program for a game with Chaminade-Julienne to Crusey, complete with caricatures of Zack on the front cover. And in another display of affection for the sports editor, the Sidney IUTIS booster club painted his home.
Admired Among those who admired and remember Crusey well is John Amos, of Sidney, former publisher of the Daily News. As a youngster in grade school and junior high, Amos was a “sports junkie” and would accompany Crusey to games and other sporting events throughout Shelby County and the surrounding area. Crusey lived nearby and would stop and pick up the young sports fan. Amos recalls that back then (late 1940s and early ’50s) the newspaper did not report on girls sports but that Crusey would cover Sidney High football and basketball. He would also accompany Crusey on Sundays as he drove to towns in the Western Ohio Baseball League — to Osgood, Newport, Versailles, Botkins and other sites — where Crusey would take photos of the action. Back then the newspaper did not have a full-time photographer and Crusey took most of the sports photos himself with a box camera.

This was his only year as an athletic administrator, and Holy Angels football was on its last legs as it ended after the 1936 season,” Ross noted.

Sidney Middle School eighth-grader wins Pet of the Week school-level National Geographic Bee Hijazi in competition for $25,000 college scholarship NourEddine Hijazi, an eighthgrader at Sidney Middle School, won the schoollevel competition of the National Geographic Bee on Dec. 19 and moves one step closer to a chance to at a $25,000 college scholarship. Hijazi NourEddine is the son of Maryam Hijazi, of Sidney. Of winning, NourEddine said, “I am very glad I won this competition and award. I feel it would have been harder without the practice for the Academia team at Sidney High School. As an extracurricular activity it has really
helped me, not only with geography, but with school in general. I have always liked geography even when I was younger and was good at remembering things.” This year marks the 25th year of the National Geographic Bee, which kicked off the second week of November with thousands of schools across the U.S and in the five U.S. territories participating. During this first round of the National Bee, students answered oral questions on geography. The National Geographic Bee is sponsored by Google (visit www.google.com/educators/geo). The school winners, including NourEddine, will now take a written test and up to 100 of the top scorers in each state will then be eligible to compete in their state bee on April 5.
The National Geographic Society will provide an all-expenses paid trip to Washington D.C., for state champions and teacher-escorts to participate in the bee national championship rounds May 20-22. The first-place national winner will receive a $25,000 college scholarship, lifetime membership in the Society, and a trip to the Galapagos Islands, courtesy of Lindblad Expeditions and National Geographic. Sidney Middle School’s first runner-up was seventh-grader Josh Spaugy. The second runnerup was seventh-grader Emily Tolbert. The teacher adviser/coordinator for the Sidney Middle School Geography Bee was Heather Davidson, eighth-grade history teacher.
Aspen is a male German shepherd/Labrador retriever mix, weighing about 70 to 75 pounds. He will need a family and a home that will allow him room to spread out and get his exercise. He was brought in by someone who found him as a stray. He is approximately 1 to 2 years old and does well with other dogs. He will make a wonderful addition to a family looking for a family pet. Stop by the Shelby County Animal Shelter Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. or Saturday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. and visit with Aspen and see if he would be a nice fit for you and your family. The shelter’s phone number is 498-7201.

HOROSCOPE BY FRANCES DRAKE For Saturday, Jan. 26, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You feel pulled between the responsibilities you have for children or a romantic partner and the demands of a group or a friend. The Full Moon always deals out tough choices. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Your dilemma today is whether to focus on home and family or career and your external world. It appears that you cannot ignore your public reputation. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Today is an accident-prone day because of the Full Moon tension. Pay attention to everything you say and do. Allow extra time so you have wiggle room for whatever you do. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Naturally, you will feel the Full Moon today, because the Moon is your ruler. This particular Full Moon creates stress for money, cash flow and shared property. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Today the only Full Moon in your sign all year is taking place, which is why you feel tension with partners and close friends. You can handle it. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) The Full Moon tension today is rather hidden in your chart, which means you feel vaguely uneasy or impatient with others. Actually, patience is your only recourse. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Tension with friends and groups might pull your attention away from children, sports events or romantic partners. Nevertheless, that’s where it’s at for you today. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Continue to focus on home and family needs today. Home repairs and decorating projects need your attention. (Be patient with family members.) SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) This is an accident-prone day, so be aware and mindful of everything you do. Accidents generally are caused by distractions. Keep your eyes open. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Money issues likely will arise today because of the Full Moon tension. Be flexible and tolerant, because others feel this tension as well today. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Today the only Full Moon opposite your sign is taking place, which means you have to be patient with partners and close friends. It’s too easy to be at odds with others. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Work-related circumstances require patience because of today’s Full Moon. Factoid. Therefore, you can be part of the problem or part of the solution, right? YOU BORN TODAY You are confident, active and sometimes a source of controversy. You march to the beat of your own drum and are determined to reach your goals. You’re very brave about being exactly who you are. You often are involved in the thick of the action. Your year ahead promises lovely social diversions and an opportunity to improve all your relationships. Birthdate of: Gen. Douglas MacArthur, military leader; Eddie Van Halen, musician; Ellen DeGeneres, TV host/actress. (c) 2013 King Features Syndicate, Inc.

Women over 65 with multiple partners should continue screening. Yes, it is cost-saving, but the guidelines reflect the biology of the disease.

Marion Local upsets Versailles VERSAILLES — Marion Local upset Versailles in MAC girls action Thursday 50-38. The loss left the state’s No. 4-ranked Division III team at 6-1 in the MAC and 15-2 overall. It also dropped the Lady Tigers into a tie for first place in the conference with New Knoxville, Fort Recovery and Coldwater.
CLEVELAND (AP) — coach Rob Browns Chudzinski has added assistants Brian Baker and Jon Embree to his staff. Baker, who spent the past two seasons as defensive line coach in Dallas, will coach Cleveland's outside linebackers. Embree, the former head coach at Colorado, will be in charge of tight ends. Chudzinski previously worked with Baker in Carolina and praised his versatility. While he was with the Panthers, Baker helped develop defensive ends Julius Peppers and Charles Johnson. Baker spent three seasons coaching St. Louis' defensive line before going to Carolina. Embree coached the Buffaloes the past two years. He spent 17 years as a player and coach at the school. Embree coached Kansas City's tight ends from 2006-08, working with perennial Pro Bowler Tony Gonzalez. Embree spent 2010 coaching Washington's tight ends before returning to Colorado.

Heads to the strip Around mile nine the course hops back on Las Vegas Boulevard and heads back to the heart of the strip. With the glitter of the neon lights still over mile away this section of the race was fairly dark. Large overhead lights attempted to make up the difference but visibility was somewhat limited during this stretch of the course. Windy conditions picked up aggressively and were now directly in my face as I went through ten mile in 1:05:02. Situated at the north end of the strip and near mile twelve is one of the most instantly recognizable hotels thanks to the oversized 123-foot neon clown sign near the entrance of the familyfriendly Circus Circus. With fatigue starting to settle in and robust wind gusts not letting up a bit, a welcome sign is the approaching finish line. Running past Treasure Island I gaze in on the finish just past the Venetian’s Grand Canal
and king-sized Christmas tree. The public address announcer, attempting to keep up, calls out the name and hometown of each finisher just before they cross the finish line.
NASA technology Glow-in-the-dark medals were handed out to finishers as they crossed the finish line. A fenced in area provides water, refreshments, and what is commonly referred to as space blankets for runners. These blankets, which look like thin blankets of aluminum foil help participants, regulate their body temperature. These sheets are derived from NASA technology and are now produced in mass quantities for marathons. The Las Vegas marathon is one of the oldest in the country, dating back to 1967. However, from 1967 to 2004 it was completely in Clark County and the course didn’t include Las Vegas Boulevard. More recently, it became part of the Rock ‘n’ Roll series and moved to the more populated side of Vegas. Ohio will feature itsfirst Rock ‘n’ Roll event this year in the inaugural Rock ‘n’ Roll Cleveland Half Marathon slated for Oct. 5. In Las Vegas, the event has been moved up a few weeks this year and is scheduled for Nov. 14. For more information on the series visit http://runrocknroll.competitor.com

CHOOSINGTHE RIGHT BODY SHOP
The importance of a professional If there is one thing that we would all prefer to keep off our car-care to-do list, it would definitely be having to get body
work done after an accident. Nevertheless, if the occasion arises where choosing a body shop is a pressing matter, it is
important to set aside all the emotions that might be going through your mind and keep your cool as you choose the right professional for the job.
When you get a body job done by a pro, it means that the work done on your car will be done in accordance with a reasonable estimate and, more importantly, approved by your insurance company. To avoid any unpleasant surprises, it is essential to make sure that the estimate you receive is com-
plete and covers all the details of the work to be done. In doing that, you will also be able to see what kind of communication is established between the body shop, your insurance company, and yourself; keep in mind that efficiency and quality are key here. Another good reason to get body work done by a professional is because he or she will use replacement parts that come from legitimate suppliers. Superior materials
Getting body work done by a professional is a must.
A checklist for road accidents
Car collisions and road accidents don’t just happen to other people. It is all too easy to fall into panic when we personally get involved in one, but it is important to keep a clear, calm head. To do that, it helps to know what to do in these circumstances. Here is a short checklist that should be read attentively now and then put away in the glove compartment just in case it's needed later.

• Call the police immediately if an injury occurs, if there is serious damage to either vehicle, or if you suspect that one of the drivers is inebriated or guilty of a criminal act. • If no one is injured, think about your safety: move
your car to the side of the road, if it is possible, or use flares or any other emergency devices to alert oncoming drivers that there has been accident and that the road may be blocked. • Write down all the facts: the circumstances of the accident, the date, time, place, the speed of the drivers involved, the direction in which each driver was going, and road conditions. • Draw a sketch of the accident scene, including the positions of each vehicle, or take a photo with your cell phone. • Ask the owners of the other cars involved, as well as passengers and witnesses, to provide you with their contact information (names, ad-
If possible, move your car to the side of the road, away from traffic.
dresses, and phone numbers). • Ask the drivers involved in the accident to give you the number of their driver’s license, their license plate number, as well as insurance information (policy number, name of insurance company, and broker’s name).
A last piece of advice: stay calm and polite despite all the inconveniences that the accident may cause you.
will enhance the quality of the job done on your car. The auto body technician might offer an extended guarantee, while others only offer the minimum as prescribed by the law. Remember that choosing a body shop is up to you, not your insurer. Don’t hesitate to shop around and check up on the reputation of the ones you have in mind. It might save you a bundle.
