Hensley indicted in homicide Accused in fellow inmate’s death last year TOLEDO — Lawrence Michael “Mike” Hensley, who is serving a senlife tence for murders in Sidney in 1999, has inbeen dicted on a homicide charge in the death of Hensley a fellow inmate last year. After the presentation of an investigation conducted by the Ohio State Highway Patrol, a Lucas County grand jury indicted Hensley. The indictment follows the assault and strangulation death of a

fellow inmate at the Toledo Correctional Institution (ToCI) on Sept. 20. The victim, Bradley L. Hamlin, 24, of Mantua, was found unresponsive on the floor in Hensley’s cell. Emergency lifesaving efforts were performed by corrections officers and medical staff until an ambulance arrived and transported him to St. Vincent’s Mercy Medical Center in Toledo. Hamlin succumbed to his injuries two days later. Hamlin had been incarcerated at ToCI since Nov. 8, 2011, for burglary, breaking and entering, and theft out of Portage and Cuyahoga counties. He was serving a 60month sentence with an

expected release date of June 5, 2016. Hensley, 43, of Sidney, currently is serving a life sentence for aggravated murder, kidnapping and felonious assault out of Shelby County. He was transferred to the Southern Ohio Correctional Facility in Lucasville following the September incident. Hensley’s current sentence stems from the 1999 murders of Sheri Kimbler, 16; Tosha Barrett 16; Amy Mikesell, 14; and Brett Wildermuth, 37. A four-day manhunt in July 1999, following the murders, ended in Hensley’s surrender after a short standoff with police at a Sidney gas station in which he had held

three hostages at gunpoint for 1 1/2 hours. Shortly before the standoff, Hensley also shot a Shelby County man driving along Interstate 75. Hensley was convicted of four counts of aggravated murder, three counts of kidnapping, and three counts of attempted aggravated murder. Hensley also has a conviction for a 2007 felonious assault inside the Toledo prison. The Ohio State Highway Patrol was assisted in the investigation by the Lucas County Prosecutor’s Office, the Lucas County Coroner’s Office, and the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Corrections.

St. Michael’s Hall in Fort Loramie beginning at 6 p.m. The admission price is $20 per person and reservations can be made through Thursday by emailing to shelbycountyrepublicanparty@gmail.com, or calling 498-0823 and leaving a message. Portman was elected to the U.S. Senate in 2010, running a campaign that focused on common-sense conservative ideas to help create jobs and get the deficit under control. He was born and raised in Cincinnati, where he lives today with his wife, Jane, and their three children, Jed, Will and Sally. He grew up in a small-business family, where he learned early on the value of hard work, leadership and fiscal responsibility. In 1993, Portman was a partner in the Cincinnati law firm of Graydon, Head and Ritchey when he was elected to Congress, where he represented the diverse, seven-county 2nd District in southern Ohio. During his time representing the 2nd District, Portman earned a reputation as a serious leader who focused on results, Gibbs said. Portman was actively involved in crafting and promoting the historic welfare reform efforts as a member of the committee that wrote the legislation, and he was a forceful advocate of the balanced budget that passed in 1997. In 2005, Portman left Congress when he was asked to serve as the United States trade representative, the Cabinet-level official responsible for implementing and enforcing U.S. trade policy. Following his accomplishments as trade representative, he was asked to serve as director of the Office of Management and Budget. A deficit hawk, Portman made his mark by proposing a balanced budget, fighting irresponsible earmarks, and putting in place new transparency measures for all federal spending. In the Senate he serves on the Senate Finance Committee, Senate Committee On Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, Senate Energy And Natural Resources Committee, and the Senate Committee on the Budget.

Jackson Center man pleads guilty to sex charge BY RACHEL LLOYD rlloyd@civitasmedia.com A Jackson Center man faces up to 60 months in prison and a $10,000 fine after pleading guilty Tuesday in Shelby County Common Pleas Court to a charge of unlawful sexual conduct with a minor, a third-degree felony. Larry John Wise, 67, 17425 Morris Road, was charged with having unlawful sexual conduct with a 14-yearold in November. Wise initially entered a plea of not guilty in November but entered the change of plea on Tuesday following an agreement with the prosecution. The agreement included that the state would not pursue any additional charges against Wise connected to facts currently known to the state. In addition to the maximum possible prison term of 60 months and the maximum fine of $10,000, Wise will face a mandatory five years of probation after his release from prison and will be registered as a Tier II sex offender. Judge James F. Stevenson has ordered a presentence investigation in the case, and sentencing will be set at a later date. Wise remains free on bond.

LEHMAN

From Page 1 started The Stefanie Spielman Breast Cancer Research Fund with a goal of raising $250,000. It has now grown into a nationally recognized organization with a $10 million fund. The Spielman family has expanded its philanthropic reach into other areas as well, instituting the Spielman Family Foundation, Wings of the Morning, Spielman Gridiron Classic and Pelotonia. These organizations touch the lives of thousands of people in need. In 2012, Spielman published his book, “That’s Why I’m Here:

The Chris and Stefanie Spielman Story.” Though there are plenty of onthe-field tales in the book, it’s not just for football fans. It is for people whose lives have been touched by cancer, for people whose own faith has wavered, and for people who want to meet a woman of tremendous beauty, grace and strength. Spielman strives to live life in the order of faith, family and community. His message should inspire all who are attending this year’s Lehman Foundation Banquet, event organizers said.

In 2010, Spielman was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame. After injuries sidelined Spielman, he turned to broadcasting. Following a stint as an NFL studio-show analyst for Fox Sports Net, Spielman joined ESPN as a broadcast and studio analyst for college football. He is also a contributor to the Columbus-based FM radio station 97.1 The Fan (an ESPN Radio affiliate). This year, Spielman was seen on many of the top college football broadcasts on ESPN, including the telecast of the 99th Rose Bowl game. In 1998, Spielman found his biggest opponent to be off the field when his wife, Stefanie, was diagnosed with breast cancer. Spielman dedicated his time to taking care of Stefanie and raising their four children — Madison, Noah, Macy and Audrey. On Nov. 19, 2009, Stefanie Spielman lost her 10-year cancer battle, but her husband has continued the fight against the disease. Before her death, Stephanie and Chris

LONDON (AP) — A former Ohio police captain who spent nearly 15 years in prison in his exwife’s killing was released Tuesday hours after a judge ruled that DNA test results prove he’s innocent and no reasonable jury would find otherwise. Doug Prade was released from the Madison Correctional Institution outside of Columbus just hours after an Akron judge found that the new test results were “clear and convincing.” “This is what should have happened in 1998,” Prade told reporters near the prison shortly after his release. “I’m innocent. I should have been found innocent back then.” The now 66-year-old Prade was convicted in 1998 of shooting his ex-

NATION/WORLD TODAY IN HISTORY BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Today is Wednesday, Jan. 30, the 30th day of 2013. There are 335 days left in the year. Today’s Highlights in History: On Jan. 30, 1933, Adolf Hitler became chancellor of Germany. The first episode of the “Lone Ranger” radio program was broadcast on station WXYZ in Detroit. On this date: • In 1649, England’s King Charles I was beheaded. • In 1862, the ironclad USS Monitor was launched from the Continental Iron Works in Greenpoint, N.Y., during the Civil War. • In 1882, the 32nd president of the United States, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, was born in Hyde Park, N.Y. • In 1948, Indian political and spiritual leader Mohandas K. Gandhi, 78, was shot and killed in New Delhi by Nathuram Godse (neh-too-RAHM’ gahdSAY’), a Hindu extremist. (Godse and a co-conspirator were later executed.) • In 1962, two members of “The Flying Wallendas” high-wire act were killed when their seven-person pyramid collapsed during a performance at the State Fair Coliseum in Detroit. • In 1963, French composer Francis Poulenc died in Paris at age 64. • In 1964, the United States launched Ranger 6, an unmanned spacecraft carrying television cameras that crash-landed on the moon, but failed to send back images. • In 1968, the Tet Offensive began during the Vietnam War as Communist forces launched surprise attacks against South Vietnamese provincial capitals. • In 1972, 13 Roman Catholic civil rights marchers were shot to death by British soldiers in Northern Ireland on what became known as “Bloody Sunday.” • In 1973, the rock group KISS performed its first show at a club in Queens, N.Y. • In 1981, an estimated 2 million New Yorkers turned out for a tickertape parade honoring the freed American hostages from Iran. • In 1993, Los Angeles inaugurated its Metro Red Line, the city’s first modern subway. • Ten years ago: President George W. Bush put allies on notice that diplomacy would give way to a decision on war with Iraq in “weeks, not months.” Wary world leaders and congressional critics urged patience and demanded proof of Iraq’s transgressions.

OUT OF THE BLUE ‘Don’t Honk’ signs removed NEW YORK (AP) — New York City's “Don’t Honk” signs are coming down, but it’s still against the law to blow a car horn unnecessarily. The city Department of Transportation says all the signs will be removed by the end of the year. According to The New York Times, city officials say the decision is part of an effort to de-clutter the streets of signs that generally go ignored. Unnecessary honking carries a $350 fine but is rarely enforced. The DOT says complaints about honking have declined 63 percent since 2008. But City Councilwoman Gale Brewer said in a letter to the DOT: “I can’t tell you how many requests I get for ‘no honking’ signs.”

Obama on immigration overhaul: ‘Now is the time’ BY JULIE PACE Associated Press LAS VEGAS (AP) — Declaring “now is the time” to fix the nation’s broken immigration system, President Barack Obama on Tuesday outlined broad proposals for putting millions of illegal immigrants on a clear path to citizenship while cracking down on businesses that employ people illegally and tightening security at the borders. He hailed a bipartisan Senate group on a similar track but left unresolved key details that could derail the complex and emotional effort. Potential Senate roadblocks center on how to structure the avenue to citizenship and on whether legislation would cover same-sex couples — and that’s all before a Senate measure could be debated, approved and sent to the Republican-controlled House where opposition is sure to be stronger. Obama, who carried Nevada in the November election with heavy Hispanic support, praised the Senate push, saying Congress is showing “a genuine desire to

get this done soon.” But mindful of previous immigrations efforts that have failed, he warned that the debate would be difficult and vowed to send his own legislation to Capitol Hill if lawmakers don’t act quickly. “The question now is simple,” Obama said during a campaign-style event in Las Vegas, one week after being sworn in for a second term in the White House. “Do we have the resolve as a people, as a country, as a government to finally put this issue behind us? I believe that we do.” Shortly after Obama finished speaking, cracks emerged between the White House and the group of eight senators, which put out their proposals one day ahead of the president. Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, a potential 2016 presidential candidate, faulted Obama for not making a citizenship pathway contingent on tighter border security, a central tenet of the lawmakers’ proposals. “The president’s speech left the impression that he believes reforming immigration quickly is more important than reforming immigration right,” Rubio said in a statement.

House Speaker John Boehner also responded coolly, with spokesman Brendan Buck saying the Ohio Republican hoped the president would be “careful not to drag the debate to the left and ultimately disrupt the difficult work that is ahead in the House and Senate.” Despite possible obstacles to come, the broad agreement between the White House and bipartisan lawmakers in the Senate represents a drastic shift in Washington’s willingness to tackle immigration, an issue that has languished for years. Much of that shift is politically motivated, due to the growing influence of Hispanics in presidential and other elections and their overwhelming support for Obama in November. The separate White House and Senate proposals focus on the same principles: providing a way for most of the estimated 11 million people already in the U.S. illegally to become citizens, strengthening border security, cracking down on employers who hire illegal immigrants and streamlining the legal immigration system.

U.S. eyes drone Egypt army chief warns base in Africa with state could collapse al-Qaida in mind WASHINGTON (AP) — Plans to base unarmed American surveillance drones in the African nation of Niger highlight the Obama administration’s growing concern about extremist influences in the volatile region. They also raise tough questions about how to contain al-Qaida and other militant groups without committing U.S. ground forces in yet another war. In the short run, a drone base would enable the U.S. to give France more intelligence on the militants that French troops are fighting in neighboring Mali. Over time it could extend the reach not only of American intelligence gathering but also U.S. special operations missions to strengthen Niger’s own security forces. The U.S. and Niger in recent days signed a “status of forces agreement” spelling out legal protections and obligations of American forces that might operate in Niger in the future. Pentagon spokesman George Little acknowledged the agreement, but declined Tuesday to discuss U.S. plans for a military presence in Niger. “They expressed a willingness to engage more closely with us, and we are happy to engage with them,” Little said, adding that the legal agreement was months in the making and saying it was unrelated to the recent fighting in Mali. The U.S. has found some of its efforts to fight extremists hobbled by some African governments, whose own security forces are ill-equipped to launch an American-style hunt for the militants yet are reluctant to accept U.S. help because of fears the Americans will overstay their welcome and trample their sovereignty. At France’s request, the U.S. has flown 17 Air Force transport flights to move French troops and their equipment to Mali in recent days, Little said. U.S. aircraft also are conducting aerial refueling of French fighter jets based in Mali, he said, and those operations will continue.

PORT SAID, Egypt (AP) — Residents of this Mediterranean coastal city burying their dead from Egypt’s wave of political violence vented their fury at Egypt’s Islamist president and the Muslim Brotherhood on Tuesday, demanding his ouster and virtually declaring a revolt against his rule, as the head of the military warned Egypt may collapse under the weight of its turmoil. Gen. Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi’ strongly worded comments, his first since the crisis began, appeared aimed at pushing both sides in Egypt’s political divide to reconcile and find a solution to the rapidly spreading protests and riots across much of the country the past six days. But his breaking of his silence falls heaviest on President Mohammed Morsi, who has been unable to contain the unrest by trying a tough hand, as protesters defied his declaration of a month-long state of emergency and curfew in Port Said and two neighboring cities. At least 60 people have been killed and hundreds injured since Thursday in clashes between police and protesters

angry over what they call Islamists’ moves to monopolize power and failure to address the country’s multiple woes. In his comments, el-Sissi signaled the military would not move to put down protesters, saying troops are in a “grave predicament,” forced to balance between “avoiding confrontation” with citizens and protecting state institutions. In Cairo on Tuesday, rockthrowing protesters clashed with police firing tear gas for another day in battles that escalated after nightfall near Tahrir Square. The mayhem forced the nearby U.S. Embassy to suspend public services Tuesday, and the night before masked men tried to rob the neighboring five-star Semiramis Hotel, a Cairo landmark, trashing the lobby before being forced out. Protesters in many cities around the country have battled police, cut off roads and railway lines and besieged government offices and police stations. But the most dramatic fraying of state control has been in the three cities along the Suez Canal, particularly Port Said, at the canal’s Mediterranean end.

Soldier with transplanted arms determined to be independent BY ALEX DOMINGUEZ Associated Press BALTIMORE (AP) — After weeks of round-the-clock medical care, Brendan Marrocco insisted on rolling his own wheelchair into a news conference using his new transplanted arms. Then he brushed his hair to one side. Such simple tasks would go unnoticed in most patients. But for Marrocco, who lost all four limbs while serving in Iraq, these little actions demonstrate how far he’s come only six weeks after getting a double-arm transplant. Wounded by a roadside bomb in 2009, the former soldier said he could get by without legs, but he hated living without arms. “Not having arms takes so much away from you. Even your personality, you know. You talk with your hands. You do everything with your hands, and when you don’t have that, you’re kind of lost for a while,” the 26-year-old New Yorker told reporters Tuesday at Johns Hopkins Hospital. Doctors don’t want him using his new arms too much yet, but his gritty determination to regain independence was one of the chief reasons he was chosen to receive the surgery, which has been performed in the U.S. only seven times.

Work your ass off and do Lee said Marrocco’s recovery

has been remarkable, and the transplant is helping to “restore physical and psychological well-being.” Tuesday’s news conference was held to mark a milestone in his recovery — the day he was to be discharged from the hospital. Next comes several years of rehabilitation, including physical therapy that is going to become more difficult as feeling returns to the arms. Before the surgery, he had been living with his older brother in a specially equipped home on New York’s Staten Island that had been built with the help of several charities. Shortly after moving in, he said it was “a relief to not have to rely on other people so much.” The home was heavily damaged by Superstorm Sandy last fall. “We’ll get it back together. We’ve been through a lot worse than that,” his father, Alex Marrocco, said. For the next few months, Marrocco plans to live with his brother in an apartment near the hospital. The former infantryman said he can already move the elbow on his left arm and rotate it a little bit, but there hasn’t been much movement yet for his right arm, which was transplanted higher up.

Wilson Hospital garners several awards healthy work site practices. The award is for demonstrating a commitment to employee health by incorporating comprehensive worksite health promotion and wellness programs. The ODH also gave Wilson its Gold Employer Award for Healthy Ohio Breastfeeding program. This is the second year the local hospital has earned the award. It did so by having a written lactation support policy, pro-

viding a designated room in which employees can pump breast milk and providing free lactation consultant services to employees. The ODH Breastfeeding Friendly Business Award was presented to Wilson Memorial for providing a private room where nursing mothers who visit the hospital can pump. Free lactation services, classes and support groups are also provided by Wilson.

Lehman students join march in Washington, D.C. Lehman Forty-six Catholic High School students joined approximately 650,000 others for the annual Right to Life march in Washington D.C. Friday. Since the Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision in 1973 that made abortion legal in the United States, members of the pro-life movement have gathered every January in a peaceful protest. This year’s march marked the 40th anniversary of the controversial decision. The students were accompanied by the Rev. Dan Hess, the school’s Melissa chaplain; Safreed, a faculty member and parent; Kelly Staudt, adviser of the Pro-Lifeguards, and parents Andy Burner, Les Berning, and Darla Cabe. Members of the Pro-Lifeguards, Lehman Catholic’s pro-life group, participate in the Washington march every year. “I have made the March for Life pilgrimage for many years and this was my second time with the Lehman students,” said Hess. “It is great to see so much stu-

scripts. • Outside of the Defense Authorization, we found other legislative vehicles to help Ohio veterans. One came about after I heard from the Ohio chapter of the Missing in America Project, a group of volunteers who provide military burials for the unclaimed or abandoned remains of veterans. Out of our conversations we drafted the Veterans Missing In America Act of 2012, a bill I worked on with Columbus-area Reps. Pat Tiberi and Steve Stivers, and passed last month. It directs the Department of Veterans Affairs to aid the efforts of groups like the Missing in America Project. • Fighting drug abuse was one area where I was also able to help, including making changes to the laws to help Ohio families. In the summer of 2011, I participated in a town hall on prescription drug abuse in Portsmouth with White House drug czar Gil Kerlikowske. At the meeting, local police officers, family members of recovering addicts, and community activists talked about the effects of epidemic levels of prescription drug abuse in the area and asked for my help in supporting a community anti-drug coalition, bolstering law enforcement, and stopping people from being able to get drugs legally by crossing state lines to Kentucky or West Virginia because of the lack of interstate prescription drug monitoring. We were able to help in all three areas by helping the local coalition obtain federal support, working with

others to designate the area as a High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA) to improve law enforcement, and introducing and enacting new bipartisan legislation that enables states to share information in their prescription drug monitoring programs. Drug trafficking is an interstate problem, and Ohio can now communicate effectively with Kentucky and West Virginia and other states where drugs are coming into and out of Ohio. • Drugs aren’t the only bad thing making their way across Ohio. If Asian carp, invasive species of fish, are not prevented from entering the Great Lakes from the Mississippi River basin, they will do great damage to Lake Erie, Ohio’s greatest natural resource and one of our most important economic resources. Over 2012, I spoke to port officials, conservationists and sportsmen concerned about this issue. With Sen. Debbie Stabenow, D-Mich., I was able to develop and pass the Stop Invasive Species Act, which broke a years-long logjam between legislators from Illinois and those of us from other Great Lakes states. This legislation finally requires the Army Corps of Engineers to put in place a plan to block Asian carp from entering Lake Erie. Even in these partisan times, this is a sampling of the good legislative work our team accomplished on behalf of the Buckeye State. As the new session of Congress begins, I will be focused on continuing to achieve results that help Ohioans.

Jordan supports ‘no budget, no pay’

Death tax now history

family making $50,000 and spending $77,000, putting the remaining $27,000 on their credit card. How long could your family sustain that reckless plan? I have been working with my colleague, Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis.), and a handful of others over the past few months to build support for a plan that would once again try to end the madness. Step one in this plan would require both the House and Senate to pass a budget. If they don’t pass a budget, they don’t get paid. “No Budget, No Pay” is a common-sense idea with bipartisan support. Congress is already required by federal law to pass a budget, but the current law has no teeth, allowing the Senate to go the past four years without passing a budget. Back to the household analogy, if a family made $50,000 and spent $77,000 this year, and had no plan for what to spend next year, how will they ever get their spending problem under control? We must see Washington’s spending plans before we can tackle its spending problem. Step two requires immediate spending cuts to put us on a path to balance the budget in a few years. Washington has a bad habit of promising spending cuts but never following through. Those of us fighting for fiscal responsibility often feel

like Charlie Brown trying to kick the football. We get “promises” of spending cuts in exchange for tax increases, and “promises” of cuts in exchange for debt ceiling increases, but the promised cuts never happen. Lucy always pulls the football away. This agreement would be different. Cuts must happen first before a long term increase in the debt ceiling. Not 10 years from now, but this year. In exchange for those two steps toward fiscal responsibility, we conservatives will agree to raise the debt ceiling for a few months to give the Senate one last chance to pass a budget. Had we adopted the Cut, Cap and Balance plan in August 2011, we would be on track to balance the budget in a year or two. But we missed that opportunity and instead, we have $2 trillion more in debt and zero spending cuts to boot. We cannot continue down the same road that got us in this mess. We cannot continue allowing Washington to make excuses for not tightening its belt and ending its irresponsible spending policies. Rep. Jim Jordan, RUrbana, has represented Ohio’s 4th District in Congress since 2007. He serves on the House Judiciary and House Oversight and Government Reform committees.

Spaghetti dinner planned Service club to to benefit Wilson Hospice host breakfast

REAL

Spaghetti sauce is one of those items that acquires a better taste if you can leave it set and then recook it before you serve it.” At last year’s event the club served about 700 dinners. The members averaged more than five servings per minute again last year. Many attendees visit with hospice volunteers, family and friends. Donations from the event were more than $8,000 for hospice last year. During the first 20 years of the benefit, more than $116,000 has been donated to Wilson Hospice. The folks attending this dinner

have been very generous in the past 20 years, organizers said. The Country Concert at Hickory Hill Lakes is among large donors. In 2012 Wilson Hospice celebrated its 25th year of existence. The hospice program is designed to bring quality of life and compassionate care to people facing a life-limiting illness or injury. Barhorst said, “20 years ago when we started this dinner there were very few folks who knew or understood the benefits of this group. Today more and more folks are understanding and using these wonderful services. The hospice group and its volunteers are there to help and support the entire family. “ Barhorst said the club sponsors other activities during the year for profit to fund its hospice event. “Over the last 20 years we have had many members benefit from this group so we feel we are just giving back a little for what our members and their families have received.”

LOCAL NEWS

Sidney Daily News,Wednesday, January 30, 2013

Ivex Protective Packaging Inc. is continuing to produce its polyethylene (PE) foam sheet product line without interruption, despite a fire and explosion that took place at one of its Sidney manufacturing facilities on Friday, company officials said in a news release from the firm’s headquarters in Lachine, Quebec, Canada. “Due to our contingency supply arrangements, we are confident that we will be able to meet our customers’ delivery requirements on an ongoing basis,” said Paul Gaulin, president and chief executive officer of Ivex. The fire and explosion took place at the smaller (68,000 square feet) of two manufacturing facilities Ivex operates in Sidney. Only part of the Stolle Avenue production facility — the PE foam sheet extrusion line — has been affected. The facility also houses a foam plank converting operation which has not been impacted. The fire and explosion took place shortly before 11 p.m. and was under control within an hour. Four employees were at the plant at the time. Two workers were treated for minor burns and released from Wilson Memorial Hospital. “This is a state-of-the art facility which utilized a sophisticated gas detector and an updated sprinkler system. We are in the process of determining the cause of the explosion so that we can address the issue and get the production line running as quickly as possible,” Gaulin said. The affected facility employs 19 production workers, with six dedicated to

that line. The company is evaluating deployment of affected employees to other production activities in the interim. Ivex employs a total of 45 workers in Sidney. Ivex also has a separate, 100,000square-foot facility on Campbell Road in Sidney, which manufactures air cushioning, protective mailers, and another conversion line. This facility was not in close proximity to the other and is continuing to operate without incident. Fire officials said there were no new developments over the weekend and Monday in the ongoing investigation of the fire and explosion that severely damaged the plant. Sidney Fire Chief Bradley Jones said Monday an investigator from the State Fire Marshal’s Office was at the scene Saturday, but local fire investigators had not received word on possible findings. Names of the two employees treated for burns at Wilson Memorial Hospital have still not been made available and no loss estimate has been determined for the building and its contents. The blast and resulting fire sent Sidney firefighters, including off-duty personnel, to the scene at 10:52 p.m. Friday. Anna Fire Department personnel and equipment responded in mutual aid and manned local fire stations. Assistant Fire Chief Cameron Haller said the plant’s sprinkler system and the company’s established safety procedures kept the building from being destroyed.

Wind turbines to provide power to HTM purchase agreement with Buckeye Power Inc. “We are honored to work with Honda to provide wind energy at their Russells Point facility,” said Corey Juhl, vice president of project development for Juhl Wind. “By installing these two wind turbines next to their manufacturing facility, Honda is making tangible and immediate progress towards reducing CO2 emissions.” Globally, Honda has established voluntary goals to reduce the environmental impact of its products and manufacturing operations by 2020. This includes a 30 percent reduction in CO2 emissions from Honda products, and significant CO2 reductions from the company’s plants and other operations, compared with year 2000 levels. To achieve these environmental new targets, Honda is accelerating its efforts to advance the environmental performance of its products, and its operations throughout North America. The wind turbine project is among a number of other initiatives at Honda plants to reduce energy use and waste from manufacturing operations.

We are grateful to Bon-Ton for this long-standing cause partnership.” Donors received coupons for each item donated during the sale to use at Bon-Ton stores. Donors also had the opportunity to register their donations on the Million Acts of Goodwill website, where they could receive an exclusive 25-percent-off coupon and a chance to have their store card paid off in December. “The Goodwill Sale at Bon-Ton is not only one of our most popular events; it provides dignity to thousands of people across the country who are in need of career advancement services,”

This is quite correct and just to prove its amazing versatility: it will also remove the winter clothes, the spring clothes, and the summer clothes from man, his wife and children, if used in sufficient quantities. Alcohol will also remove furniture from the home, rugs from the floor, food from the table, lining from the stomach, vision from the eyes and judgement from the mind. Alcohol will also remove reputations, good jobs, good friends, happiness from children’s hearts, sanity, freedom, man’s ability to adjust and live with his fellow man...even life itself.

The turbines, with blades approximately 160 feet long, will be installed on 260foot towers on Honda Transmission property, which is suited for a maximum of two wind turbines. Last June, the Washington Township Board of Zoning Appeals approved a variance to the height limitation for the wind turbines. “We appreciate the support we have received from the township and our neighbors that will help Honda reduce CO2 emissions,” said Gary Hand, vice president of Honda Transmission. “This is just one of many ways that Honda is seeking to reduce our environmental footprint.” Juhl Wind will be primary developer of the project and own the two turbines.

RUSSELLS POINT — Honda Transmission Mfg. of America Inc. has announced an agreement with Juhl Wind Inc., of Pipestone, Minn., to develop, install, and operate two utility-scale wind turbines to generate electricity for the plant’s operations. Once the turbines begin operating later this year, the Honda transmission plant in Russells Point will be the first major automotive manufacturing facility in the United States to obtain a substantial amount of its electricity directly from wind turbines located on its property, while also reducing carbon dioxide emissions from this renewable energy source. Studies commissioned by Honda Transmission indicate that wind-generated power is a cost-effective source of electricity for the plant and that the project will not adversely impact local wildlife or the environment. The two wind turbines will supply approximately 10 percent of the plant’s electricity. Based on their location and actual wind speeds, combined output from the two wind turbines is estimated at 10,000megawatt hours

Cavs upset Tigers BY MATT ZIRCHER

SDN Photo/Luke Gronneberg

CINCINNAI REDS Director of Media Relations Rob Butcher speaks to the Sidney Rotary Club Monday at the Moose.

Last year’s Reds a ‘perfect storm’ BY DAVE ROSS “We won 97 games while using only 33 players... Our rotation never missed a start and shortened games for the bullpen... Our pitching was great... We played excellent defense... We lost our best player and went 36-12 without him including one stretch of 22-3... We were consistent and had lots of fun... It was a ‘perfect storm.’” These were the enthusiastic words of Cincinnati Reds Director of Media Relations Rob Butcher as he made his annual pre-spring training visit to the Sidney Rotary Club at the Moose Lodge on Monday. He was reflecting on the Reds 2012 National League Central Division title. The veteran PR man had just concluded his participation in the club’s wildly successful caravan that visited thousands of Reds fans throughout four states. In just over a week he’ll be off to Goodyear, Ariz., where the team will train for a fourth straight year. The full squad will be in camp by Feb. 15 with exhibition games commencing a week later and lasting for five weeks before it’s time to head back to Cincinnati for the April 1 regular season opener with the Angels. The “perfect storm” did not extend into October as the Reds lost a five-game playoff set to the eventual World Champion Giants after taking the first two in San Francisco.

“I’d have bet my house that we wouldn’t lose three straight at home for the first time all year but we did,” Butcher said. “I still can’t believe it.” A big part of the club’s 2012 success was Cuban fireballing lefty Aroldis Chapman becoming a dominant closer. He’s now halfway through his original six-year contract and is slated to return to his roots as a starting pitcher. There are numerous pros and cons but Butcher is confident in the man handling the situation. “Pitching coach Bryan Price will get this right. He’s one of the best,” Rob offered. “If Aroldis starts, Bryan will manage the innings so Aroldis will be strong in September and October. If starting doesn’t suit him, he could close again with Jonathan Broxton setting him up.” Butcher indicated that Price almost became a big league manager this winter as he talked to several teams about their openings. “Bryan Price will manage,” the former University of Dayton infielder continued. “It’s just a matter of when and where.” The program began with about a three minute opening followed by a lengthy Q & A session, always popular at this annual gathering. “These folks know baseball and love the Reds,” Rob has said many times over the past dozen-plus years. Miscellaneous highlights follow: See REDS/Page 2B

New video posted on artificial turf project A new 16-minute video has been posted online concerning the efforts to bring artificial turf to Sidney Memorial Stadium. The video can be accessed at www.vespaquarterbackclub.com, and it is also on YouTube. The Vespa Quarterback Club is spearheading the project, which has a price tag of approximately $600,000, and all of the money will come from donations. The stadium seats 7,000 and with artificial turf, it would likely be a prime location for postseason football playoff games.

The Ohio High School Athletic Association now mandates that all neutral-site playoff games take place on artificial turf, and because of that, Sidney has not hosted a state playoff game since 2010.

Lehman pulled off the biggest upset of the season so far Tuesday night, holding Versailles to its season-low in points in defeating the Tigers 48-45 at Lehman in high school boys basketball. The Cavs have now won four straight to improve to 9-7 on the year while Versailles, the No.-8 ranked Division III team in the latest state poll, falls to 12-3. The Tigers went up 5-4 on a Damien Richard layup with 3:27 remaining in the opening quarter, only to see Lehman answer with a Connor Richard three and six straight points overall to take the lead. A Jackson Frantz jumper and a Drew Westerheide three extended the margin to 16-9 three minutes into the second stanza and the lead was still seven until a Chad Winner three and a Jacob Heitkamp free throw cut the deficit to 22-19 at the half. Lehman shot 36 percent in the first half while holding the Tigers to 33 percent. A Richard putback gave Versailles the lead again at 25-24 midway through the third period and the Tigers went back in front in the seesaw affair two more times in the quarter, the final being 3029 on a Kyle Ahrens layup at the 2:42 mark. But just when it looked like Versailles was taking control, back came the Cavaliers as a Frantz jumper and another Richard three made it 34-30. Greg Spearman later connected on a triple with 35 seconds left to put Lehman up six and the sophomore extended the lead to 41-34 with back-to-back layups, the second with 5:22 remaining in the game. Winner finally gave the Tigers their first points of the fourth quarter with a layup

off a half court steal with 2:36 left and an Ahrens layup cut the deficit to three. But Richard followed with a jumper just inside the arc and Spearman hit one of two foul shots at the 56-second mark to make it 44-38. “That was a big basket by Connor,” said Lehman coach Isaiah Williams. “He hit some big shots when we needed them and handled the ball well.” A pair of Winner threes, though, closed Versailles to within two at 46-44 and the Tigers had a chance to tie as Lehman missed two foul shots and Ahrens was fouled with 9.1 seconds left. The first attempt, though, rolled off the rim and after

Ahrens hit the second, Versailles still had one final opportunity to tie following Spearman hitting two at the stripe at the 6.9-second mark. A three attempt from the left wing by Ryan Knapke, though, was short and time expired as both sides went for the rebound. “We were well prepared for Versailles tonight,” said Williams. “We lost by four there last year and by 10 here two years ago, so we knew that we had been giving them tough battles and that we could play with them. We just had to stay the course tonight and finish, and we did a good job of both. See CAVS/Page 14

JC wins in double OT JACKSON CENTER — The Jackson Center Tigers had their hands full with the visiting Marion Local Flyers Friday night, but some welltimed three-pointers enabled them to come away with a 5551 thriller in non-league boys basketball action Tuesday. The Tigers move to 15-2 heading into a challenging weekend, Friday at home against Anna and Saturday at Minster. Marion Local is now 5-9. “I wasn’t the least bit deceived by their record,” said JC coach Scott Elchert. “We knew it was going to be a battle.” Jackson led most of the way, including 15-6 in the opening period and 29-17 at the half. But the Flyers steadily crawled back in it and a dunk by 6-foot-9 Luke Knapke tied the game at 41-41 late in regulation, and it stayed that way. The two teams scored just two points apiece in the first overtime, but in the second, after Cole Griesdorn gave the Flyers the lead with a couple of free throws, Gavin Wildermuth hit back-to-back threepointers. The Tigers then put it away at the line. “Marion is very big and the way teams have hurt them is with pressure,” said Elchert. “We tried to pressure them but that’s not really our cup of tea.” Alex Meyer and Trey Elchert had 16 apiece for the Tigers, Wildermuth 11 and

Browns’ Horton: ‘I love this team’ BEREA, Ohio (AP) — Ray Horton doesn’t believe his skin color played any role in him not being hired as an NFL head coach. It just wasn’t his time. Introduced as Cleveland’s new defensive coordinator on Tuesday, Horton said while he’s “disappointed” that he didn’t get a head coaching job after interviewing with several teams, he’s grateful to have gone through the process and feels the league’s Rooney Rule to promote minorities works despite contrary statistics. Minority candidates were shut out of 15 coaching and top frontoffice jobs this offseason, a troubling disparity that led to criticism of the NFL’s hiring practices. There are only four minority head coaches going into the 2013 season, the fewest since 2003, when the Rooney Rule was implemented. Horton was one of the candidates who met with Browns owner Jimmy Haslam and CEO Joe

CLEVELAND BROWNS defensive coordinator Ray Horton answers questions during a news-conference at the NFL football team's training camp Tuesday. Banner before they hired Rob Chudzinski, who spent the past two seasons as Carolina’s offensive coordinator. Horton noted that hiring offensive-minded coaches seemed to be this year’s trend.

Horton, who spent the past two seasons as Arizona’s defensive coordinator, can’t wait to get his hands on a young Cleveland defense he hopes to mold into one of the league’s best units. After recently stating in a radio interview that he intended to switch the Browns from a 4-3 front to a 3-4, Horton refused to put any numerical label on the base scheme he’ll use next season. “We’re going to look like an aggressive, forward attacking defense that has big men that can run and little men that can hit,” he said. “That’s the most important thing to me ‚Äî what do we look like, not what we line up in. We may be a 3-4 on one snap. We may be a 4-3 on another snap. I guarantee you we’ll be a 5-2 sometimes, and we’ll be a 4-4 sometimes. We are a multifront, attacking defense, and that’s the most important thing, not what player lines up where, how he stands, what

stance he’s in. Attacking, aggressive defense.” Fine with Chudzinski, who envisions a Browns defense with “guys flying around.” “That style of defense, the multi-front, attacking defense is the defense that I looked at is the toughest to play against from an offensive perspective and the defense that we want to be here,” Chudzinski said. Under Horton, the Cardinals’ defense ranked among the league leader in several statistical categories last season. Arizona was second in interceptions (22) and fourth in takeaways (33). Horton has been breaking down game film as he evaluates Cleveland’s defense and he’s been impressed. “I’ve got big men that can run, little men that can hit,” he said, drawing laughter at the catchphrase he repeated several times. “I love this team. I love the way it’s constituted right now be-

cause they give effort. From the first game against Philadelphia all the way through to the last game against Pittsburgh, I don’t see a dropoff of effort. “If you can give me that for 16 weeks like they did, you don’t need anything else.” Horton said Steelers defensive coordinator Dick LeBeau, known for his blitz-at-any-time style, has been a major influence on his life on and off the field. “He treats every single person like they’re the most important person in the room,” Horton said of the Hall of Famer. “It’s a gift. Players love playing for coach LeBeau. That’s the highest form of respect that your players love playing for you.” Horton hopes to build that type of relationship with his players in Cleveland. He has already been contacted by a few, including linebacker and captain D’Qwell Jackson. Horton views trust as an essen-

RUSSIA — The Russia freshman boys basketball team suffered its first loss of the season Saturday, by a 39-37 final at Versailles. “Versailles has a nice freshman class,” said Russia coach Michael Leffel. “They only had one loss going into the contest (to Fort Recovery). We had our opportunities, but we missed some crucial free throws down the stretch. It was a great learning experience for us and I admire

the way our kids hung in there.” The Raiders got 17 points from Conner Monnin and nine from Jake Gariety. Versailles was led by Niekamp and Peters with eight points apiece and Riegle with seven. • The Raiders bounced back from that loss to defeat Covington on Monday and raise their record on the year to 14-1. Gariety had 11 points and Josh York nine.

“When you’re in the state rankings and having the season that we are, you are going to get everyone’s best shot,” said Versailles coach Scott McEldowney. “We’ve been able to speed a lot of teams up this season and force them to do things they don’t want to do, but Lehman handled the ball well enough to keep the game at the tempo they wanted.” Spearman led all scorers with 21 points, 16 in the second half as he was five of eight from the field and five of six at the foul line.

season with Vandalia coming to town Friday. Wapak is now 9-7. Sidney led 33-30 at the half, but was unable to hang on thanks mainly to the play of Wapak’s Travis Bertram. He finished with 29 and 21 of those came in the final two periods. “We struggled with (Jake) Buzzard in the first half,” said Snyder. “In the second half, we did a better job but when you take something away, it opens something else up. And Bertram really took advantage.”

Bucks whip Badgers 58-49 eyes hitting seven of their first eight from the field and Wisconsin making 6 of 11. Thomas’ fake and 10-foot jumper over Ryan Evans tied it at 41, with Thomas then giving the Bucks the lead on a drive through the lane and finger roll after Evans had charged into Craft at the other end. During the 15-0 run that went from the 13:01 mark to under 6 minutes left, the Badgers were 0 for 7 from the field as everything went Ohio State’s way. Thomas hit another basket, this time on a drive, before LaQuinton Ross popped in a three. Thomas then took a pass from Shannon Scott on the fast break and scissored in for a layup. While Wisconsin continued to misfire at the other end, Thomas then jousted with Evans, forcing him to step back and then hit a fall-away 16footer to push the lead to 52-41.

• SS/OF prospect Billy Hamilton — “Billy is now a full-time center fielder who will begin 2013 in Louisville but could be in Cincinnati late this season. If Billy is ready, Shin Soo Choo will only be with us for one year. Billy stole 155 bases last year in the minors. I do know that won’t happen in the majors.” • Overall outfield — “Ryan Ludwick, Shin Soo Choo, and Jay Bruce are a nice group. I really like our fourth guy, Chris Heisey. These guys play good defense.” • Manager Dusty Baker — “Dusty has now been fully cleared following a mild stroke late last season. He’s signed for two more seasons but has to be careful with his health.” • Hall of Fame radio voice Marty Brennaman — “He’s the best there is and enjoys working with our various announcers and playing to their strengths.” • Baseball economics — “Baseball isn’t the NBA when it comes to loading up to buy a championship. Big money doesn’t always win it all. The Yankees did have one really good run and they conhave the sistently largest payroll but they’ve come back to the pack.” • 2015 All Star Game in Cincinnati — “This is due to the persistence of owner Bob Castellini after the Reds showed MLB how to run the Civil Rights Game during the two years we had it. He’s amazing. Remember when there was almost nothing just west of our ballpark? Bob got personally involved and jump started The Banks project. That area is now alive from condos to restaurants to night spots.” —— Dave Ross is a frequent contributor to the Sidney Daily News.

COLUMBUS (AP) — Deshaun Thomas scored 25 points, including 10 during a game-breaking 15-0 second-half run, to lead No. 11 Ohio State past Wisconsin 58-49 on Tuesday night. The leading scorer in the Big Ten, Thomas took over the game as both teams tried to gain leverage in a typically physical matchup. The victory moved Ohio State (16-4, 6-2 Big Ten) into third place in the Big Ten and dropped Wisconsin (14-7, 5-3) two games off the pace set by co-leaders Indiana and Michigan (6-1). Traevon Jackson, the son of Buckeyes great Jimmy Jackson, led the Badgers with 12 points in the arena where his dad’s jersey hangs from the rafters. Aaron Craft had 13 points and six assists for the Buckeyes. Both teams were shooting well to start the second half, the Buck-

Put An End To Elder Abuse World Elder Abuse Awareness Day Most of us grew up learning to respect our elders, but this is not true for everyone. More than half a million of older Americans are abused, neglected, or exploited each year and it is thought that millions more go unreported. Elder abuse tends to take place where the senior lives. Often the abusers are adult children, grandchildren, or even a spouse. Abuse of elders takes many different forms; physical, emotional, neglect, and financial exploitation are all common ways. Some common signs of abuse are unexplained injuries, bruising, unusual weight loss, unsanitary living conditions, or sudden changes in the elder’s financial condition.

The truth about elder abuse

There are things elders can do to protect themselves. These include: • Make sure your financial and legal affairs are in order and that you have someone you can trust to help you if you need it. • Keep in touch with family and friends • If you are unhappy with the care you are receiving, speak up. Tell someone you trust.

Elder abuse is so abhorrent that it is hard to imagine it takes place all around us. But the reality is that seniors are victims of abuse on a daily basis. As our population ages, preventing elder abuse has to become a priority, one that can first be tackled by debunking a few persistent myths.

We all have the responsibility of reporting suspected neglect. Here in Shelby County, you’d call the adult Protective Service, Shelby County Job & Family Services at 937-498-4981.

Myth: Elder abuse is all about psychological and physical violence. Reality: There are many types of elder abuse: sexual abuse, financial or material exploitation, violation of rights, neglect, and social abuse (age discrimination).

- Lu Ann Presser, Licensed Social Worker. Director of Marketing/Admissions, Dorothy Love Retirement Community.

Myth: The people who usually mistreat seniors are strangers, such as employees at institutions. Reality: Much of the time, seniors are abused by people they know, including family members. PHOTO: PHOTODISC / THINKSTOCK

lieved that many cases are simply not reported. Abuse may be defined as physical abuse, emotional abuse, financial exploitation or neglect. Abuse has no boundaries and can occur, in the home, in a long term care facility and truly, anywhere. Most of the time, people are reluctant to report any mistreatment or wrong doing. The topic brings up many difficult emotions and individuals wonder if they are doing the “right thing”. It is very important to “STAND UP FOR OUR ELDERLY” and to make sure that each older adult is protected and their needs are being met. Where do I report? To make a local report of any type of abuse: physical abuse, emotional abuse, financial exploitation or neglect, contact: Shelby County Department of Job and Family Services Adult Protective Services 227 South Ohio Avenue Sidney, OH 45365 Phone: 937-498-4981 Hours: 7:30 am - 4:00 pm Mon-Fri (Tues 7:30– 6:00 pm)

Myth: The poorer the person, the more he or she is likely to be the victim of abuse. Reality: Elder abuse occurs in all levels of society. That means no For other areas in Ohio, please call in the department of job and family services for the county where the adult resides or where the incident occurred. For a information on CDJFS in other counties call: 614-466-6282 or see on the web: http://jfs.ohio.gov/County/cntydir.stm If immediate action is needed, contact local law enforcement. During non- business hours, contact local law enforcement. The Ohio Department of Aging works closely with statewide agencies, advocates, and service providers to serve older Ohioans. To reach the Ohio Department of Aging Bonnie Kantor-Burman , Director 50 West Broad St. Columbus, OH 43215 (614) 466-5500 http://aging.ohio.gov/home/ Tips for Reporting: 1.You may provide your name and phone number or make an anonymous call. 2.You will need to provide the name, address and phone number of the person who you think may be a victim 3.You will need to provide the reason(s) you feel the individual is in harm or is a victim of elder abuse and share any specific information available.

As painful as it is to report, it is the right of the person to refuse services. The individual may deny the abuse for many reasons. All efforts will be made to encourage the person to accept the services offered. The goal is to reduce and eliminate the danger and for the individual to remain safe in their environment. 4.Immunity for Reporting Any person who makes a report with reasonable cause to believe that an adult is suffering abuse, neglect or exploitation is immune from civil or criminal liability under Ohio law. Please be advised that by Ohio mandates certain professionals are required to report: • Physicians • Psychologists • Nurses • Employees of an ambulatory agency (outpatient care centers) • Employees of a home health agency • Employees of an adult care facility • Employees of a community home, residential care facility or home for the aging • Senior service providers • Police officers • Coroners • Clergy • Employees of a community mental health facility • Social workers or counselors • Lawyers

seniors are completely free of the risk of abuse. Myth: Neglect is not really a serious form of abuse. Reality: Neglect is a form of abuse whereby a caregiver fails to provide the basic needs for the wellbeing of the senior. This can negatively affect a senior’s health and emotional and psychological state. Myth: Seniors who are victims of abuse can quickly resolve the situation by reporting it. Reality: Several factors can cause seniors to hesitate about reporting their abusers: perhaps the abusers are loved ones, or perhaps the senior is dependent on the abusive caregiver. In fact, some seniors may not even realize that they are experiencing abusive behavior. Myth: It is normal that loved ones manage seniors’ finances for them. Reality: Most seniors are perfectly capable of managing their personal finances for themselves. PC: Neglect is a form of abuse whereby a caregiver fails to provide for the basic needs necessary for the well-being of the senior.

It can be challenging to care for someone with health needs or memory impairment. Often times the caregiver can become overwhelmed. Most cases of abuse occur because of a loss of control not because someone intends to cause harm. Being stressed can add to the potential to lose control. It is important to know where and how to reach out for help. Contact your loved ones primary physician if you find yourself overwhelmed, they may be able to help direct and guide you to other resources. When dealing with memory impairment issues, the Alzheimer’s Association, Miami Valley Chapter has a helpline available 24 hours per day to provide information and support. The toll free number is 1-800-272-3900. The website is www.alzdayton.org.

Special Olympics makes Sidney man feel ‘happy, proud, normal’ BY FRED HERRON While many healthy people live what Henry David Thoreau called “lives of quiet desperation,” a national organization with a local branch is working to make sure people with Down syndrome and other disabling conditions don’t have to. Down syndrome is a genetic disorder that causes significant mental and physical disabilities. According to the National Down Syndrome Society, the disorder affects 400,000 Americans, or one out of 691 babies. The Shelby County Special Olympics Program’s aim is to empower individuals with disabilities to compete in sporting events and to live lives that are neither quiet nor desperate. They are given a venue in which to work hard and play hard with others with similar conditions. Aaron Klosterman, a 26year-old Sidney man with Down syndrome, is currently competing on the Shelby County Special Olympics basketball team, and he loves every second of it.

Makes me normal “Makes me happy, proud, normal,” Klosterman said. Klosterman has been in the Special Olympics program for nearly 12 years, competing in basketball, softball and bowlTerry Klosterman, ing. Aaron’s mother, said about the impact of the Special Olympics Program on her son: “No. 1, he gets to interact with the other team members. And to see the excitement when they win games. And the other thing is, they have something to look forward to.” “It’s fun to watch him be successful,” Tom, Aaron’s father, said. “They (the athletes) can’t wait to get to the next game.” Fun and a sense of purpose for these special athletes is the order of the day. Sidney’s Mark Harrod, who has been volunteering for the Special Olympics since 1986, and who has been the local chapter’s director since 2003, said, “You leave (the events) with more love than you came with. (The athletes) love being with each other and they love when you come. They’ve been a great gift to me. My whole family’s involved.” At one of Aaron’s basketball games in early January, the athletes on both teams played with passion and intensity. Up and down the court they went, and they shot basket after basket with skill. The joy of the action was reflected on Aaron’s face, knowing there were people in the audience there to support

To prepare for each season, Aaron spends time walking on a treadmill two or three times a week, and he shoots hoops out behind his home, where he lives with his parents. Also, according to Tom, Aaron plays a big game with his family at Christmastime.

Christmas games “They played three games and two times he made the winning basket,” Terry said of the family Christmas game. Before softball, Aaron will take time to train by going to the batting cages, and Tom says that he’ll play pass with him. “When was he y o u n g e r,” Terry said. “I used to pitch the ball to him and he’d practice hitting it.” W h e n a s k e d about what the prog r a m meant to Aaron and his family, Terry said, “For all the team members, it’s a way to get them out and exercise. (Aaron) can’t wait to get on the phone and tell his brother how many points he got, or RBIs. To see their faces when they’ve accomplished a game. What I like most of all, is seeing the ones that couldn’t hit the ball, and they hit the ball. As a parent, it makes me feel like everything is going to be OK.” And, about how seriously

Lots of friends

Harrod said. “We go out of our league and sometimes play Auglaize and Van Wert counties. We have over 300 people eligible to participate according to state guidelines, from ages 8 and up. When it’s organized, it’s more fun for caregivers.” Paul Holbein, a teacher at Anna, who is the basketball coordinator, coach, and in charge of scheduling for the Special Olympics group, said the biggest need is volunteers, as well as people to come out to games to watch the athletes and support them. “If you come out there,” Holbein said, “you can’t help but get hooked. It’s not a huge commitment, only about one night a week. If you’re wanting to come out, you don’t have to know about basketball or track. It’s always fun. It’s a great way to give back to the community.”

“We pick up the ones that don’t have a driver’s license or can’t get there,” Terry said. “We know who we need to watch for and needs a ride.” According to his parents, Aaron has made a lot of friends in the Special Olympics. Aaron said that he’d be “sad” if there were no more Special Olympics. Locally, the Shelby County Special Olympics serves roughly 150 individuals, is entirely staffed by volunteers (there is no paid staff), and is completely funded by private, local donors. And in addition to basketball, bowling, and softball, there is a track and field day, this year to be held at the Sidney Middle School on April 27 at 1 p.m. “Our area is Shelby, Miami, Montgomery, Champaign, Darke, and Preble counties,”

Holbein especially mentioned the immense help and commitment of two volunteers, Tony and Tracy Sell. Both Holbein and Harrod had nothing but good things to say about NKP, which provides facilities for the Special Olympics completely free of charge, and which takes the time to set up chairs and provide for whatever they need. When asked why NKP did this, Rod Dotson, senior VP and corporate administrator, said that the founder of their parent company, Mr. Kuroiwa, emphasized the need to give back to the local community. NKP felt that this would honor Kuroiwa’s philosophy, and they eagerly and gladly wanted to give back to the community and invest in the Sidney area.

the athletes take the game, Tom and Terry both said, “Very seriously.” “The coach tries to keep things under control,” Tom added. “So they don’t get too serious. The coach makes sure that all the players get equal playing time. The spectators enjoy it. At the end of every season, Miami County hosts a tournament every year for fun, for all the counties.” Tom said he especially enjoys being involved as a parent because “it kind of fills the void, when our older son moved away. We can keep doing that with Aaron. I’m the driver, I help referee, I do scoreboard, I go out there and shoot around, (and) tell them where they can improve. I always go to the games. I seldom miss a game, maybe one in 20.”

NKP offers facilities

Area colleges get state grants for internships DAYTON (AP) — An $11 million investment by the state of Ohio will create as many as 3,500 internships and co-ops for college students and may help fight the “brain drain” from the Buckeye State, officials said. The investment next year is part of the state’s strategy to align higher education curriculum with workforce skills in demand in fields such as aerospace and advanced manufacturing. Experts say it could also help keep Ohio college graduates in the state and draw key industries to Ohio. The Dayton Daily News reported Friday that the grants will be funded through casino

license fees and are contingent upon the approval of the Ohio Controlling Board in January. “These awards are meant to provide Ohio employers with opportunities to benefit from the talents of Ohio’s college and career technical students,” said Chancellor Jim Petro. “And they’ll provide students with valuable internship or coop experience.” In total, 10 colleges and 13 universities will receive grants, which require matching funds from employers. The University of Cincinnati, Ohio State University and Wright State University will receive the highest amounts, at $1.8 million, $1.5 million and $1.3

million, respectively. “This will help us keep a lot of our best and brightest in the area and allow us to attract students who left our region for higher education and coops to come back to the region,” said Joseph Slater, assistant dean of Wright State’s College of Engineering and Computer Science. Slater said Wright State will work with local employers to find funds to create the 193 internship positions it submitted for approval to the state. Wright State was given a state grant for about 100 internships, according to the Board of Regents. “When we’re educating our

students right here in our region, we would like to retain some of that talent,” said Shelley Cassady, Miami University’s career, co-op and internship services regional director. “Co-oping is a big incentive to helping students find jobs right here after they graduate. And that will help keep key industries right here in Ohio.” Other institutions receiving grants were Antioch College, Central State University, Cincinnati State Technical and Community College, Clark State Community College, Miami University, Sinclair Community College and University of Dayton.

Cowboys in Ohio You might be thinking from the title that this article is about two famous movie cowboys from Ohio—Hopalong Cassidy (also known as William Lawrence Boyd from Cambridge), and Roy Rogers (Leonard Slye of Ducks Run, near Portsmouth) But it’s not. Ohio has real, honest-to-goodness cowboys who work for the Dickinson Cattle Company, the largest cattle ranch east of the Mississippi River. You can see the company’s steers with their six-foot-long horns grazing alongside Interstate 70. The company is based on reclaimed mining land in the Muskrat Valley area of Belmont County, where it raises Texas Longhorn, Dutch BueLingo and African Watusi cattle. Darol Dickinson was a Colorado rancher facing big problems during the drought of 1993. The grass in his pastures was gone and hay was expensive, if he could get it. Then he met Bill Farson, a visiting Ohio beef farmer, who showed him pictures of his cattle in waist-high grass in Ohio’s Appalachian foothills. His interest piqued, Dickinson and his family visited the area and discovered a great place to raise longhorn cattle that was also close to interstate highways. He leased land and soon moved 1,400 Texas longhorn cattle and exotic Watusi steers to the 2-mile-by-4-mile ranch. The exotic—by Ohio standards—cattle and the cowboys with their ten-gallon hats and cowboy boots caused quite a stir in the area. There was so much interest that ranch work wasn’t getting completed; too many people were stopping by to view a real working ranch. So the working ranch became a tourist attraction. In the summer months, purple and white school buses with local guides offer visitors a 75-minute escorted tour. One stop includes a lake where guests may feed huge fish, visit a pheasant aviary and see an educational historical narrative about raising cattle, conservation, and modern ranch practices.

Words to Know: narrative exotic drought aviary piqued Interstate For Discussion: 1. Many people travel in the summer for vacations. What farm animals could you see while traveling? What animals would you expect to see on an Ohio farm? 2. You can see cattle and dairy cows at county fairs. What breeds are most commonly shown there? How do the breeds that are raised on the Dickinson differ from the ones you usually see? 3. If you were to visit the Dickinson Cattle Company, what would you expect to see?

SNUFFY SMITH

BY FRANCES DRAKE For Thursday, Jan. 31, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You might be excited to meet someone today, especially a partner or close friend. (Something’s up.)

However, unusual opportunities to earn money might present themselves. Who knows? LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) You definitely are looking for excitement and stimulation today. This is why you will seek out people who are different. You also will avoid anyone who tries to restrict you or hold you back.

(This could be good news or bad news.) YOU BORN TODAY You are easily admired. This is fortunate, because you like to be seen and heard. You welcome the spotlight, even if it’s a tiny one, because you like to be appreciated and understood. You’re entertaining, which at times makes some think you are superficial. Not so! You’re thoughtfully philosophical in private. In the year ahead, close friendships and partnerships will be your primary focus.

Whether posting or responding to an advertisement, watch out for offers to pay more than the advertised price for the item. Scammers will send a check and ask the seller to wire the excess through Western Union (possibly for courier fees). The scammer's check is fake and eventually bounces and the seller loses the wired amount. While banks and Western Union branches are trained at spotting fake checks, these types of scams are growing increasingly sophisticated and fake checks often aren't caught for weeks. Funds wired through Western Union or MoneyGram are irretrievable and virtually untraceable.

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.
