Ohio’s State Controlling Board Monday approved a $201,096 Clean Ohio Assistance Fund grant for the city of Sidney to conduct a Phase II Environmental Assessment of the vacant former Wagner Manufacturing Property at 440 Fair Road. Sidney’s award is among $1.201 million in brownfield redevelopment funds awarded five Ohio cities. Other recipients are Barberton, Cleveland, Columbus and Harrison Township in Montgomery County. Tom Judy, interm city manager, said Tuesday morning the funds will be used to complete the city’s Phase 2 assessment of the Wagner property. “We expect the assessment to be completed this summer,” Judy said. “In the meantime the city will apply for a Clean Ohio Revitalization Fund grant for the demolition and cleanup of the property. “The end goal,” he continued, “is to protect public health and safety by removing this dangerous building with little or no local tax dollars.” The process, he said, “could take several years, depending upon results of the environmental assessment and timing of the grants.” The blighted Wagner property consists of 26 parcels totaling 5.74 acres situated west of downtown Sidney. Its environmental assessment will determine the property’s suitability and possible need for remediation. See GRANT/Page 5

COLUMBUS (AP) — Ohio is in the thick of an unusual winter that has brought the state warm temperatures and little snow. Cincinnati’s winter ranks second for the lack of snow, according to The Cincinnati Enquirer. In Columbus, the season ranks 6th among those with the least snow, and The Columbus Dispatch reports the city so far is having its ninth-warmest winter on record. Temperatures throughout Ohio were expected to rise to the upper 50s and low 60s on Tuesday. The high in Sidney Monday was 48 degrees, according to the Sidney Wastewater Treatment Plant, which tracks the weather for the city. Unofficially, temperatures Tuesday were in the mid to upper 50s. National Weather Service meteorologist Jeff Sites says a weather pattern associated with cool Pacific Ocean temperatures near the equator is keeping cold air from sweeping south into the U.S. from Canada. He says Ohio’s long-range forecast calls for more winter warmth.

Police, deputies respond to church For the second time in as many weeks, law enforcement officers were called Sunday to quell a possible disturbance at the Full Gospel Community Church, 950 Childrens Home Road, apparently over the pastor’s refusal to acknowledge a petition calling for him to resign. Four law enforcement personnel from the Sidney Police and Shelby County Sheriff ’s office responded to a call made by a church member who feared there would be a disturbance similar one that took place Jan. 15. Upon arrival Sunday, law enforcement found the people in question were leaving on their own.

On Jan.15 police and deputies found a number of parishioners had taken over the sanctuary in a dispute with the pastor. According to a statement released by a member of the church who asked to remain anonymous, the problems involve the pastor, Jeff Hill, who was elected June 4, 2011. The statement indicated that under an open-ended, 16-month contract, Hill can leave at any time and the congregation can dismiss him at any time. The contract ends in October. The statement said the nature of the church began to change when

new people started to attend. “Some of these newcomers who came had been active in the music department of their previous church and the pastor began to displace members. The type of music was quickly changing and it became a different church to our regular congregation, with many becoming disappointed and discouraged,” the statement read. There were also reportedly changes and new rules which created hardships for parishioners. Allegedly people were told no one could enter the sanctuary after adult Sunday school began. There

were chairs and a short pew placed in the hallway but “one handicapped person reported that, when they complained of not being able to stand long, they were told to get there earlier.” Parishioners reportedly presented a petition to Hill asking for his resignation from the church on Jan. 1. Hill reportedly began to visit and question those who had signed the petition, did not acknowledge the petition and refused to meet with the group as a whole. Members who signed the petition reportedly met Jan. 14 and decided to take a stand at the church on Jan. 15 and

ask for a meeting to honor the petition. As the 54 people who signed the petition stood at the front of the congregation, the pastor allegedly walked up and elbowed the spokesperson out of the way and took his position at the podium. The source said the petitioners remained calm and tried not to appear aggressive while others in the congregation shouted at the petitioners. Accusations were also allegedly made against the spokesperson, which made the congregation “more riotous.” At that point, law enforcement was called in to diffuse the situation. Officers spoke to Hill

Honda to make announcement today at Anna ANNA — Honda will announce today a major investment in the Anna Engine Plant, as well as production plans for a new assembly line at its transmission plant in Russells Point. Lt. Gov. Mary Taylor and various community leaders are expected to attend the event. The announcements are expected to relate to Honda’s revelation that it is resurrecting the rare but popular Acura

NSX “supercar,” which was manufactured in Japan from 1990 to 2005. This new incarnation, it was announced at the North American Auto International Show in Detroit, will be built not in Japan but in Ohio, including the construction of a whole new facility for manufacturing, as well as increased production expected for the local plants’ contribution to the venture.

and to the spokesperson and an agreement was reached for a meeting before the membership regarding the petition. The meeting,reportedly for members only, is scheduled for Saturday at 6 p.m. at the church. While initially billed as for “members only,” Hill reportedly said on Sunday that “everybody is invited.” Hill reportedly had locks changed on all of the church facilities on Jan. 18. The pastor did not respond to phone calls made to him by the Sidney Daily News. No charges were filed by authorities during their two visits to the church.

COLUMBUS (AP) — Ohio would make it illegal to stay in a highway’s left lane if not passing or exiting, under a bill that previously drew attention for another provision that would raise the speed limit on the state’s interstates. Left-lane restrictions could make Ohio roads safer, this bill’s sponsor, Republican state Rep. Ton Maag, of Lebanon, said. His measure would bar drivers from traveling in the left lane of a highway except when getting by a slower vehicle, using an exit on the left, allowing other motorists to enter the right lane, or when snow or other road conditions would make it unsafe to use the right lane.

‘All in the Family’ director dies LOS ANGELES (AP) — Television director John Rich, who won an Emmy Award for the memorable “All in the Family” scene showing Sammy Davis Jr. planting a kiss on Archie Bunker, has died in Los Angeles at 86. Rich also won an Emmy for “The Dick Van Dyke Show.” Directors Guild of America spokeswoman Sahar Moridani tells the Los Angeles Times that Rich died Sunday morning at his Los Angeles home after a brief illness. No other details were released. His 50-year Hollywood career included “I Married Joan,” ”Our Miss Brooks,” ”Gunsmoke” and “Bonanza.” He also directed episodes or pilots of “The Twilight Zone,” ”Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C.,” ”Gilligan’s Island,” ”The Brady Bunch,” ”Maude,” ”Good Times,” ”The Jeffersons,” ”Barney Miller” and “Newhart.”

‘Seinfeld’ actor dies LOS ANGELES (AP) — Ian Abercrombie, a veteran British stage and screen actor whose TV roles included Elaine’s boss Mr. Pitt on “Seinfeld” and the voice of Chancellor Palpatine in “Star Wars: The Clone Wars,” has died. He was 77. A website statement from LucasArts said Abercrombie died Friday. A friend, Cathy Lind Hayes, told the Los Angeles Times that he died at a Los Angeles hospital from complications of kidney failure and recently had been diagnosed with lymphoma. “Though he played a villain on our show, you would be hard pressed to meet a kinder person,” said Dave Filoni, a supervising director for “Clone Wars.” ”He loved to laugh and his sense of humor always lightened our record sessions. I will miss his stories, I will miss his performances, and I will miss his contribution to our show.”

Ship sinks ANKARA, Turkey (AP) — Turkish Coast Guard boats, tug boats and a helicopter were searching for eight crew members after a Cambodia-flagged freighter ship sank in stormy waters off Turkey’s Black Sea coast on Tuesday, officials said. Three other crew members were rescued. The ship, Vera, was sailing to Turkey’s Aliaga port from Russia when it sank off the coast during a storm, regional Gov. Erol Ayyildiz said.

Jesus can stay at park HELENA, Mont. (AP) — The U.S. Forest Service says it will re-authorize a permit for a 57-year-old statue of Jesus that had been facing eviction from a northwestern Montana ski resort. The agency faced a firestorm of criticism from religious groups, the state’s congressman and residents after it decided last fall to boot the Jesus statue from its hillside perch in the trees. The Forest Service said Tuesday will renew a 10year special-use permit for the Knights of Columbus Council statue. Service supervisor Chip Weber says the decision took into account that the statue “is important to the community for its historical heritage.”

SYRIAN REBELS hold their RPG and their guns as they stand on alert during a battle with the Syrian government forces, at Rastan area in Homs province, central Syria, on Tuesday. Syrian troops crushed pockets of rebel soldiers Tuesday on the outskirts of Damascus, fueling some of the bloodiest fighting of the 10-month-old uprising, as Western diplomats tried to overcome Russia’s rejection of a draft U.N. resolution demanding President Bashar Assad halt the violence and yield power.

Troops push back rebels BEIRUT (AP) — Syrian troops crushed pockets of rebel soldiers Tuesday on the outskirts of Damascus and the U.N. Security Council took up a draft resolution demanding that President Bashar Assad halt the violence and yield power. U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton told the Security Council that action to end the violence in Syria would be different from U.N. efforts to pacify Libya. “I know that some members here may be concerned

that the Security Council is headed toward another Libya,” she said. “That is a false analogy.” “It is time for the international community to put aside our own differences and send a clear message of support to the people of Syria,” Clinton said. Russia, one of Assad’s strongest backers, has signaled it would veto any U.N. action against Damascus, fearing it could open the door to eventual international military involvement, the way an

Arab-backed U.N. resolution led to NATO airstrikes in Libya. However, the Arab League emphasized that international military action was not being sought. “We are attempting to avoid any foreign intervention, particularly military intervention” in Syria, Secretary-General Nabil Elaraby said. “We have always stressed full respect of the security, sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Syrian people.”

Romney wins Florida TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Mitt Romney routed Newt Gingrich in the Florida primary Tuesday night, rebounding smartly from an earlier defeat and taking a major step toward the Republican presidential nomination. In defeat, the former House speaker vowed to press on. Romney, talking unity like a nominee, said he was ready “to lead this party and our nation” — and turn Democratic President Barack Obama out of office. In remarks to cheering supporters, the former Massachusetts governor unleashed a strong attack on Obama and said the competitive fight for the GOP nomination “does not divide us, it prepares us” for the fall. “Mr. President, you were elected to lead,

you chose to follow, and now it’s time to get out of the way,: he declared. Returns from slightly more than half of Florida’s precincts showed Romney with 47 percent of the vote, to 33 percent for Gingrich. Former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum had 13 percent, and Texas Rep. Ron Paul 7 percent. Neither mounted a substantial effort in the state. The winner-take-all primary was worth 50 Republican National Convention delegates, by far the most of any primary state so far. But the bigger prize was precious political momentum in the race to pick an opponent for Obama in a nation struggling to recover from the deepest recession in decades.

Taliban may be released from Guantanamo Bay WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. intelligence officials acknowledged Tuesday that the United States may release several Afghan Taliban prisoners from the military prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, as an incentive to bring the Taliban to peace talks. Meanwhile, Afghan officials told The Associated Press that a plan to give Afghanistan a form of legal custody over the men if they are released satisfied their earlier objection to sending the prisoners to a third country. Director of National Intelligence Jim Clapper told Congress Tuesday that no decision had been made on whether to trade the five Taliban prisoners, now held at Guantanamo Bay as part of nascent peace talks with the Taliban. He and CIA Director David Petraeus did not dispute that the Obama administration is considering transferring the five to a

third country. U.S. officials and others had previously spoken only vaguely, and usually anonymously, about the proposal to send the prisoners to Qatar, a Persian Gulf country that has asserted a central role in framing talks that might end the 10-year war in Afghanistan. The lead U.S. negotiator trying to coax the Taliban into talks had also publicly acknowledged the possibility of a release, but said there was no final decision. The prisoners proposed for transfer include some of the detainees brought to Guantanamo during the initial days and weeks of the U.S. invasion that toppled the Taliban government in Afghanistan in 2001. At least one has been accused in the massacre of thousands of Shiite Muslims in Afghanistan, according to U.S. and other assessments, but none are accused of di-

NAPIER felony of the fourth degree, harassment with bodily substance, a felony of the fifth degree, and vandalism, a felony of the fifth degree. The charges stem from an incident on Nov. 18, 2011, during an armed robbery of Sidney’s Gas America, 1501 St. Marys Road. Two men entered the business, demanded money and then allegedly pulled out a handgun. During the incident

rectly killing Americans. “I don’t think anybody harbors any illusions about it, but I think the position is to at least explore the potential for negotiating with them as a part of this overall resolution of the situation in Afghanistan,” Clapper said during a Senate Intelligence Committee hearing. The Obama administration has recently embraced the possibility of negotiation with the Taliban much more openly, saying that although they remain cautious they are also encouraged that the militants may be ready to bargain. Peace talks, if they come to pass, would include the elected Afghan government and, at least at the outset, representatives of the U.S. government. With nearly 100,000 troops in Afghanistan and a war and development budget in the billions of dollars, the U.S. remains the largest power broker in Afghanistan.

From Page 1 one of the suspects fired a shot in the store however no one was injured. Sidney Police officers and Shelby County Sheriff’s deputies responded and quickly apprehended Napier and another suspect Nathan Demarcus, 23, 816 St. Marys Ave., Apt. G. Demarcus was charged with aggravated robbery, a felony of the first degree, and attempted murder, a felony of the first degree.

The charges relating to escape and assault of a peace officer were from an incident which allegedly happened on Nov. 18, 2011, at Sidney Municipal Court after the initial arraignment. Napier allegedly tried to escape from the back of a cruiser, kicked out the back window of the cruiser and then struck and spit on Sidney Municipal Court Bailiff Michael Martz.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Authorities say the elementary school teacher told the children that it was a game. Once inside his third-grade classroom, they say, he blindfolded them, gagged them and set cockroaches crawling on their faces. And then, Mark Berndt photographed them, creating hundreds of images that would eventually lead to his arrest, police say. On Tuesday, Berndt, 61, was sitting in jail on charges that he committed lewd acts on 23 boys and girls, ages 6 to 10, between 2008 and 2010. None of them complained about Berndt’s behavior, authorities said. Police and school officials only learned of it when a film processor found Berndt’s photos more than a year ago. Since the discovery, the school district fired Berndt and police put him under surveillance. “If it wasn’t for the film processor, this could still be continuing today,” said Lt. Carlos Marquez of the Los Angeles County sheriff’s department. Berndt was arrested Monday at his home in Torrance and was being held on $2.3 million bail. Some parents picking up their pre-kindergarteners at the school on Tuesday complained that officials at Miramonte Elementary School in South Los Angeles should have notified them when the photos were found. “My concern is why, if the principal knew this in advance, why didn’t he inform us?” said Gloria Polanco, the mother of a second- and a third-grader. “How long has he been doing this?” The probe began after the film processor, who is required by state law to report suspicions of child abuse and molestation, turned over some 40 photographs to authorities. Searches of Berndt’s classroom and home turned up about 400 photographs depicting children, though the number of pictures may not be the same as the number of kids. At least 10 youngsters in the photos have not yet been identified. Some photos showed Berndt with his arm around children or his hand over their mouths. Some photos showed children with live bugs the size of hissing cockroaches on their mouths or faces. Others depicted girls with what appears to be a spoon up to their mouths as if they were going to ingest a clearwhite liquid. Children were fed Berndt’s semen from a spoon or on cookies, Marquez said. Kids reported being fed something distasteful. A blue plastic spoon and container found in the trash in his classroom tested positive for his semen, authorities said.

GRANT From Page 1 It will include installation of 66 soil borings, nine groundwater monitoring wells, a deep groundwater monitoring well and nine soil gas wells. It will also include data evaluation and reporting. The city hopes to redevelop the site for residential use. Harrison Township will receive a $112,707 grant to conduct an environmental assessment of Forest Park Plaza at 4360 N. Main St. “Clean Ohio investments help communities determine if vacant or underutilized properties have productive futures,” Thea Walsh, deputy chief of the Ohio Department of Development’s Office of Redevelopment, said in announcing the grant awards.

Area residents have the opportunity to experience what immigrants who were processed through Ellis Island experienced as “Immigration” returns to the Ross Historical Center, 201 N. Main Ave. It opened Wednesday. “Immigration” is an annual exhibit that museumgoers takes back in time to the early 20th century when thousands of Europeans, Africans and Asians were looking for a new life in America. Shelby County Historical Society staff have recreated the Ellis Island processing center inside the Ross Center. Before the show closes March 15, all of Shelby County’s fifth graders will have toured it. “The exhibit pays homage to the great wave of immigration that we as a nation experienced during the 19th and early 20th centuries,” said Tilda Phlipot, director of the society. “During this period, our population doubled. This national trend was reflected in Shelby County, as well.” The rooms in the cen-

ter have been transformed to resemble various sites in the immigration experience beginning with replicas of the berths the steerage passengers would have endured on a twoweek passage by ship from Europe to New York. A video shows a reenactment of one girl’s account of such a voyage. In the Registration Room, volunteers portray immigration agents and weary travelers. Viewers learn about the process third class immigrants went through once they landed, including medical examinations. One volunteer portrays a woman in quarantine. School desks fill a room called the Naturalization Room. It was in classrooms that American newcomers began their quest for U.S. citizenship. Throughout the mansion, display cases are filled with items from the countries whose people have populated Sidney and Shelby County: Germany, Ireland, Italy, several countries in Africa, Scotland, France, Britain, Greece, Mexico,

ward the back of the stove. If possible, use rear burners. • Watch for dangling appliance cords. • Prepare non-microwaveable snacks if children are not fully supervised. • Test heated food and liquids before serving children. • Always check the water temperature before placing your child in the tub. A child’s skin burns more easily than an adult’s. If it’s too late: • Remove the hot, wet clothing — don’t forget to check and remove an infant’s diaper if it has absorbed hot liquids. • Cool the burned area immediately with room-temperature tap water. • Do not use ice or very cold water. Ice or very cold water will further damage burned skin. • Cooling should only

skin if spilled, which leads to a more serious burn. Many children with noodle soup burns end up needing surgery. Permanent scaring and limited joint mobility can also result from any type of burn. “We could make a significant reduction in kids treated for scald burns if the kids weren’t using the microwave to cook meals after school,” said Schwing. She offered these burn prevention tips: • Keep hot foods and drinks away from the edge of tables and counters. Do not put them on a tablecloth that little hands can yank. • If you’re holding something hot, don’t hold your child, too. • When you cook, keep your child away from the stove. Tell children that when you are cooking, you are not to be bothered. • Turn pot handles to-

DAYTON — W i n t e r is a time for cold weather, snow, sweaters, and coats, but it’s also a time for hot chocolate, space heaters, and soup. Anyone can be at risk for a serious burn when distracted or not careful. It is important to teach children safety around hot items in order to prevent burns. Last winter between the months of December and February, 26 patients were treated at Dayton Children’s for burns. The most common burns affecting young children are from hot water. During the winter months, hot water is used for cooking and making hot chocolate. Hot tap water accounts for nearly one in four of all scald burns among children and is associated with more hospitalizations and fatalities than any other hot liquid burn. “A new trend we’re seeing is parents using the stove to heat bath water because their electricity has been turned off,” said Lisa Schwing, Dayton Children’s trauma program manager. “Parents are dumping one pot at a time and while they are going to the kitchen for more, the unsupervised child falls in or climbs in the scalding water.” Another large cause of burns is unsupervised cooking. Experts at Dayton Children’s suggest taking caution when making instant soup. The soup containers have been found to be extremely dangerous because of how they are designed. Noodles from soup can stick to the

BULLETIN BOARD

Students are contest finalists Two Sidney High School students were recently informed that they are finalists in a contest held by the DECA program for its upcoming InternaRosengarten tional Career Development Conference. Troy Rosengarten, a junior, and Sara Leckey Leckey, a senior, were both selected in the final top five of a competition open to all students in the DECA program. The students in the Sidney High School DECA chapter designed T-shirts with the theme of “Aspire Higher” and the DECA logo. Each of the student’s designs was then sent to DECA Images in Reston, Va. The designs created by Troy Rosengarten and Sara Leckey were chosen as part of the final top five designs for this year’s T-shirt. Voting for the winning design took place on the DECA Facebook page through Tuesday. The design that receives the most votes will be sold as the official shirt of the DECA International Career Development Conference and the winner will receive $250 and 12 free T-shirts. The winner of the contest will be notified Friday. The DECA program prepares emerging student leaders and entrepreneurs for careers in marketing, finance, hospitality and management in high schools and colleges around the globe. Program officials said DECA enhances the preparation for college and careers by providing co-curricular programs that integrate into classroom instruction, applying learning in the context of business, connecting to business and the community and promoting competition. Student members leverage their DECA experience to become academically prepared, community oriented, professionally responsible, experienced leaders. The SHS DECA program is coordinated by teacher Linda Carpenter.

Shelby Sam for president Groundhog runs on Rodent Party ticket Thursday is Groundhog Day, a time when any self-respecting woodchuck crawls from his toasty lair to search for his shadow. If he sees one, he heads back underground for six more weeks of winter. But if there is no shadow, he does a dance of celebration because spring is just around the corner. Shelby County’s unofficial groundhog, Shelby Sam, usually avoids this ritual of folklore because he thinks it’s ridiculous, but mainly because he’s just a contrary critter. But this year he may be above ground Thursday because he is in full campaign mode. Shelby Sam is running for president on the Rodent ticket. The following letter to the editor, received from Sam Tuesday, says it all. To the editor: I am writing to advise that your erstwhile and humble servant, me, will be out and about Thursday on the ludicrous occasion of Groundhog Day — but I will not be seeking my shadow. I have thrown my hat into the ring for president of these United States of America and will be holding a rally on the courtsquare to outline my platform — which includes, among other things, a parsnip in every pot. I am running for the Rodent Party’s nomination against businessman Malcolm Mink of Massachusetts, former House Speaker Willy Wolverine of Georgia, former Sen. Fred Ferret of Pennsylvania and Congressman Sylvester Squirrel of Texas. As you can see I have plenty of competition because rodents abound in our great nation, and I’m just relieved there are no rats running this year. We have enough of

SHELBY SAM campaigns in front of the White House recently. Running for president on the Rodent ticket, Sam hopes to move from his burrow on the Shelby County Courtsquare to the White House after the November election. those in Congress! Among other things, I pledge to promote job creation, repeal the health care initiative and reduce the federal debt. But my main plank is to tighten up the borders and halt the illegal immigration of cats, dogs, coyotes, foxes and wolves into our country. Every day these sneaky critters cross the border to live illegally off the fat of the land. And in this case the fat of the land includes squirrels, rabbits, muskrats and — you got it — groundhogs! Under my plan, all carnivores will be required to register and obtain an ID card that verifies their citizenship and includes a sworn statement they will become vegetarians and no longer look upon rodents as culi-

nary delights. Another of my goals is to shut down businesses that traffic in sorrow, such as rendering plants, tanneries and slaughterhouses. Displaced workers will be retrained to grow vegetables. I will also issue a pardon to groundhogs held in captivity, especially those incarcerated for no purpose other than to perform ceremonial shadow-seeking on Feb. 2 each year. This includes poor fellows such as Buckeye Chuck and Punxsutawney Phil, who are caged all year so they can be dragged out each winter as part of a ridiculous pagan ritual. In the arena of foreign affairs, I will immediately improve relations with Iran and North Korea by sending their leaders gift baskets of clover

and asparagus tips. Such kindness will surely convince those rogue nations to end their nuclear programs and turn to floral arranging and interior decorating. So you see I am now looking beyond Shelby County for the betterment of all rodents. And yes, there will be a parsnip in every pot. So forgive me if I choose not to look for my shadow Thursday. My nation calls and as a dutiful son I must respond. Sincerely,

SHELBY SAM

Downtown shop opens in new space with old appeal County collectibles. “We are on constant lookout for Sidney and Shelby County historical pieces,” he said. Downstairs are other collectibles, housewares, toys and furniture. Fugate said he plans to open a women’s used clothing boutique on the second floor in March. “The oldest thing we have in the store right now is an 1855 Bible,” he said. “And we have one of the largest collections of Depression glass in the area.” He also offers copies of historical photographs of buildings and sites in Sidney. “We’re selling memories,” Fugate said. There are 27,000 items in the store and in storage, about 40 percent of it is on consignment. The rest of it is “found” by the Fugates and their staff. “We’ve been picking a lot longer than pickers have been on TV,” Fugate said. They search the Internet and attend estate

sales on a regular basis. Much of what they find, they donate to others. “We’ve given 20 truckloads to FISH and have also donated to Goodwill,” he noted. The business is a member of the SidneyShelby County Chamber of Commerce and the Sidney Downtown Business Association. “We just bought 32 more tables for consigners,” Fugate said. People who want to consign items for sale may do so. The shop takes a 25 percent commission. Sellers can rent table space, instead, at $21 per month. If their items sell when they are not present to handle the transactions, the shop takes 10 percent of the sale. The precious metals buyers are on site fulltime, during the store’s opening hours which are 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday. For information, call the store at 710-0433.

75 years

25 years Feb. 1, 1987 Sidney Christian upped its record to 12-3 with a 51-42 victory over Grace Baptist School of Urbana Saturday. Rob Harvey scored 23 and Mark Dohner added 12 for the Eagles. Sidney’s next outing will be in the Association of Christian Schools International Tournament. The Eagles will meet Columbus Christian at 8 p.m. Tuesday at Sidney High School.

Today, the two disagreed on whether there will be an early spring or more winter weather. Chuck, Ohio’s official groundhog, failed to see his shadow this morning when he emerged from his burrow in a wooded lot adjacent to the studios of WMRN in Marion at 7:38 a.m. and proclaimed that spring is at least six more weeks away. As 1,000 people looked on, the plump and surly Pennsylvania woodchuck saw his shadow at 7:29 a.m. and proclaimed that spring is at least six week away.

Redskins post 58-49 County win over Jets Fort Loramie used a big second quarter to take control, and held on for a 58-49 victory in County boys basketball action Tuesday at Fairlawn. The win puts Fort Loramie at 2-7 in the league and 3-12 overall with Houston coming to town Friday. Fairlawn is now 1-9 in the County and 4-12 overall. The Jets have Friday off before playing at Waynesfield Saturday. The Jets were bouyed by the return of high-scoring junior Anthony Gillem from a wrist injury. He finished with 12 points. “It was great to have him back,” said Fairlawn coach Derek Alexander. “We had the one bad quarter in the second and Loramie took advantage. We came out in a triangleand-two in the third quarter and got a couple of steals and got back in the game. We got it down to four, but it became

a free-throw shooting contest in the fourth quarter.” Fort Loramie had three players in double figures, with Seth Guillozt leading the way with 18. Craig Fullenkamp had 13 and Jake Cordonnier 10. Jared Albers had nine, all at the line in 12 attempts. Travis Wells had a big game for the Jets, finishing with a double-double of 14 points and 12 rebounds.

JACKSON CENTER’S Andy Hoying drives on Brandon Wilson of Russia in County boys basketball action at Russia Friday. The Tigers won to remain unbeaten on the year.

Tigers clinch share, Elchert wins 200th BY MATT ZIRCHER RUSSIA — It was a night of milestones for Jackson Center here Tuesday night as the Tigers clinched a share of their first County title since 1998 with a 63-53 win over the Russia Coach Raiders, giving Elchert coach Scott Elchert his 200th varsity win in the process. Jackson, the No. 3-ranked Division IV team in the state, remains perfect on the season as the Tigers are now 15-0 overall and 10-0 in the league. The Raiders, meanwhile, drop their second straight to fall to 12-4 and 7-2. The game was tied three times in the early going before the Tigers took lead for what turned out to be for good at 10-6 on an Andy Hoying putback and a Trey Elchert jumper. Treg Francis answered for Russia with a three, only to see Jackson score the final five points of the period, capped off by a Hoying three-point play. A 7-0 run closed the Raider deficit to 17-16 midway through the second quarter before Alex Meyer ended the string with a turnaround jumper. That, in turn, sparked Jackson to a 10-1 burst over a three-minute span, including threes from Troy Opperman and Trey

Elchert, to give the Tigers a 29-20 halftime lead. “In a game like this, you have to have kids make big plays in order to win,” said Elchert. “Alex made a couple of big plays during that run and we had others make key plays throughout.” “We didn’t execute well on offensive tonight and I think Jackson had a lot to do with that,” said Russia coach Paul Bremigan. “We had a few too many turnovers in the first half and I think if we would have been a little more patient at times, our offense would have been better.” The margin was 33-22 on a Hoying layup at the 4:17 mark of the third quarter before Russia again attempted a comeback, scoring eight straight to trim the Jackson lead to three. A 7-0 run by the Tigers, however, to end the third and start the final period pushed the lead back up to 10 and the Raiders would get no closer than six the rest of the way as Jackson by as much as 14 in the closing minute. “We’ve had some up and down seasons, but we’ve kept plugging away, even through the tough times,” said Elchert on his 200th win. “Probably the greatest part of it has been the great relationships and friendships through that stretch. Some of my former players are my best friends.” “Jackson did a great job on our guards,” said Bremigan. “They also don’t turn the ball over much and good teams do

that. We did a good job of getting the ball to Brandon Wilson early, but we didn’t work hard enough at it in the second half.” The Tigers shot 46 percent for the contest and were 17 of 21 at the foul line, 14 of 18 in the fourth quarter alone, while Russia shot 40 percent and was 14 of 16 at the stripe. Jackson held a 29-27 rebounding edge and led 28-20 in points in the paint and 158 in second-chance points. Hoying led all scorers with 22 points for the Tigers while Meyer added 16 and Elchert nine. Francis paced the Raiders with 12 points, half of those SDN Photo/Todd B.

Anna hangs on for 7th straight

HOUSTON — Houston and Anna were locked in a close one early Tuesday night in County boys basketball. But a Houston turnover was followed by a pair of Anna three-pointers, and that gave the Rockets the spread they needed to go on to a 53-47 victory over the Wildcats. The win was the seventh in a row for Anna and puts them at 11-5 on the year with 12-4 Russia coming to town Friday night. Houston is now 5-10 overall and travels to Fort Loramie in league play Friday. “We were playing well early,” said Willoughby. “It was 9-8 in the second quarter and they hit two straight threes after we had a turnover. And those were huge baskets. We had to fight back the rest of the night.” The Wildcats trailed by a dozen at the half and again after three periods, but rallied in the final period and cut the

lead to four at one point. But the Rockets held them off. Jay Meyer led the Rockets with 20, including a perfect 7for-7 from the free throw line. Nick Reier added 15 points. Jesse Phlipot had 16 for Houston and Brandon Clack added 12. “We fought our butts off again and didn’t get the rewards,” said Willoughby. “I thought Brandon Clack and Ryan Curl really gave us a lift in the second half.” Anna (53) Seger 2-0-5; Reieer 7-1-15; Williams 3-2-9; Meyer 5-7-20; Long 11-4.

Third-ranked Buckeyes S OSU adds assistant coach prep for decisive month PORTS IN BRIEF

COLUMBUS (AP) — Not long after No. 3 Ohio State hung a 64-49 shiner on No. 20 Michigan on Sunday, coach Thad Matta was asked how pleased he was to reach the midpoint of the Big Ten season with at least a share of the lead. “It beats second, I do know that,” he said. Trouble is, the Buckeyes (19-3, 7-2) know that most of their work is ahead of them. All of their remaining nine games will be played against teams which have received points in the Associated Press Top 25 this season. Five of the nine opponents are ranked this week, starting with the Saturday showdown at No. 19 Wisconsin. The Buckeyes will later host the Badgers, and also play No. 9 Michigan State both home and away. In addition, they have a return engagement at No. 23 Michigan on Feb. 18. Matta is well aware that sitting atop the conference in late January — the Buckeyes actually have a half-game lead on Michigan State (17-4, 62) which can pull even with a win at Illinois on Tuesday night — means almost nothing. “As I told the guys yesterday, we have to get healed up the best we can,” Matta said on Monday. “From there, it’s on.” Ohio State has played a solid schedule, including wins in November over No. 7 Florida (8174) and No. 3 Duke (85-

OHIO STATE coach Thad Matta smiles after an official’s call during the second half against Penn State last Wednesday in Columbus. 63), and December road losses at No. 13 Kansas (78-67) and at No. 13 Indiana (74-71). In January, the Buckeyes had a relatively light schedule of seven games, with a 80-63 rout of Indiana its lone Top-25 opponent. But now comes a string of the biggest tests of the season. Even the unranked teams —Purdue, Minnesota, Illinois and Northwestern — are dangerous. Each has pulled off its share of big wins so far. All will be gunning to upend Ohio State and improve their own postseason chances. The Buckeyes enter this stretch on a roll. They’ve won four in a row and six of seven.

They are playing well at both ends of the court, ranking second in the Big Ten in both scoring (77.3 ppg) and in points allowed (55.6 ppg). Michigan coach John Beilein tossed a zone defense at Buckeyes on Sunday, hoping to give them a look that might change the tempo of a game slowly slipping away. It worked, for a while at least, until Ohio State used a second-half run to put the game away. “You let this team get comfortable ... they’ve got too many bullets in that gun,” Beilein said of the Buckeyes. Lenzelle Smith Jr., who led Ohio State with

17 points and a careerbest 12 rebounds in the win over the Wolverines, credited the defense for the improved play the past couple of weeks. “Whenever we come out and we’re connected on defense, we pretty much get the job done,” he said. It may not just be a coincidence that star forward Jared Sullinger has recommitted himself after admitting to a lackadaisical attitude during the Buckeyes’ last loss, a 7974 setback at Illinois on Jan. 10. He said he needed to be more of a leader and had to play hard on each possession instead of resting at times. He has taken a more active role in huddles, in practice and in games since, expressing himself more and occasionally directing traffic and attitudes on the court. Asked on Sunday if he put any stock into the Buckeyes’ rise in the Big Ten standings, he offered a firm no. “Game on Saturday against Wisconsin,” he said tersely. “That’s the biggest focus right now.” Yes, there is some satisfaction that they’ve righted the ship after a 3-2 start in conference play. But the Buckeyes are aware this is no time to be handing out pats on the back. “It’s such a long season,” Matta said. “There’s some things we’ve got to continue to get better at. But turning the halfway point at 7-2 is, well, I like it.”

COLUMBUS (AP) — Ohio State has announced that Bill Sheridan will join new coach Urban Meyer’s coaching staff as a defensive assistant. Sheridan, a Detroit native who attended Grand Valley State University, has coached for 31 years including seven seasons in the NFL. He was the linebackers coach for the Miami Dolphins the past two seasons. He won a Super Bowl ring in 2007 in his five years with the New York Giants. Ohio State’s release said it was unknown what position or group of players Sheridan will coach. He has served as an assistant at Maine, Cincinnati, Army, Michigan State, Notre Dame and Ohio State rival Michigan at the college level.

Simpson pleads not guilty COVINGTON, Ky. (AP) — Cincinnati Bengals receiver Jerome Simpson has pleaded not guilty to marijuana trafficking. Simpson entered the plea on Monday in Kenton County Circuit Court in Covington. A grand jury indicted the four-year veteran on one count of marijuana trafficking in excess of 8 ounces on Jan. 19. Simpson has been under investigation since September when agents from California tracked a package shipped to his northern Kentucky home. They said it contained 2 1/2 pounds of marijuana. Authorities said a search of Simpson's home also turned up 6 more pounds of marijuana, smoking pipes and scales. The 2008 second-round draft pick from Coastal Carolina caught 53 passes for 758 yards and four touchdowns this season. Simpson can become a free agent after completing the final year of his contract.

Wife involved with players NEW YORK (AP) — The New York Daily News is reporting that former Syracuse ball boy Bobby Davis says in an affidavit that the wife of former Orange assistant coach Bernie Fine had sex with the players. The affidavit was filed Monday in New York State Supreme Court by attorney Gloria Allred. Davis and stepbrother Michael Lang are suing Syracuse and basketball coach Jim Boeheim, saying they were defamed when Boeheim called them liars out to make money by accusing Fine, Boeheim's longtime assistant, of molesting them. Davis and Lang claim they were repeatedly forcibly touched by Fine in the 1980s. The 66-year-old Fine was fired Nov. 27. He has not been charged and has denied any wrongdoing. Syracuse said it would comment at an appropriate time.
