The words “comeback” and “rebound” were repeated often as Taylor and Honda officials spoke of the plan to build the company’s next-generation powertrain technologies in Ohio. The Anna investment correlates with the $120-million investment in the Russells Point transmission plant,
announced last year, which will be producing Honda’s new continuously variable transmission (CVT). The CVT technology allows a vehicle to smoothly transition among an infinite range of gear ratios to operate at maximum fuel efficiency. The typical automatic transmis-
sion used in cars today shifts among four to six gear ratios. The Anna Engine Plant will manufacture the hightech pulley components for the CVT, to be introduced in the United State with the more powerful and fuel-efficient 2013 Honda Accord. The See HONDA/Page 4

CHRISTOPHER YAEGER (right), of Jackson Center, was led into the Shelby County Jail by Sgt. Aaron Steinke on Wednesday. Yaeger was arrested in Indianapolis, Ind. on Monday and waived his extradition hearing. He is now in Shelby County Jail awaiting his arraignment on robbery charges.
Jackson Center man waives extradition hearing BY JENNIFER BUMGARNER jbumgarner@sdnccg.com A Jackson Center man is now in custody in the Shelby County Jail after waiving an extradition hearing in Indianapolis. Christopher P. Yaeger, 34, was arrested on Monday in Indianapolis by U.S. Marshals from Dayton and Indianapolis along with a deputy from the Shelby County Sheriff ’s Office. Lt. Jim Frye declined to comment on the specifics of the arrest but acknowledged citizen tips and a good investigation led to the arrest. “It was good police work,” said Frye. “It
was a good collaboration between agencies and we utilized the resources available to us.” Yaeger was wanted in Shelby County on one count of felony burglary after he allegedly entered a Shelby County home and took jewelry and a firearm on Nov. 29, 2011. Frye stated that on Dec. 9, 2011, weapons were found in the home of a relative of Yaeger. Upon investigation it was found that the weapons were stolen. They also believe he may be connected to other burglaries. “He will be arraigned next week in Shelby County Common Pleas Court,” said Sgt. See YAEGER/Page 3
COLUMBUS (AP) — A proposal to repeal Ohio’s contentious new election law will soon be introduced in the state’s Senate, the leader of the Republican-led chamber said Wednesday. The law trims early voting in the presidential battleground state, among other changes. It’s been on hold since September, until voters can decide this fall whether it should be tossed out. Plans to replace the law are still being discussed, Senate President Tom Niehaus told reporters. The New Richmond Republican said it’s too early to tell whether any new legislation could be passed before November’s general election. “The goal is, whatever we do, that there be clarity for the November elections,” Niehaus said. The state’s top election official has called for state lawmakers to scrap the election law, so that it won’t appear on fall ballots. Secretary of State Jon Husted told local officials in a speech last week that a campaign about the details of the overhaul measure will confuse Ohioans at the same time election officials are trying to inform people about how to vote.

Bites and escapes: When groundhogs misbehave NEW YORK (AP) — They’ve bitten their handlers, refused to budge from their beds and lost their shadowcasting jobs to potbellied pigs. And it turns out, not all groundhogs are really that good at predicting the weather. Not even Bill Murray as a movie weatherman escaped a couple of nips from the furry rodents on the set of his popu-
lar “Groundhog Day” that put the annual shadow or no shadow ritual on a loop in 1993. “Of course, the groundhog’s most glaring offense is that its legendary weather predictions are complete bunk,” said Linda Lombardi, a former zookeeper who has a blog and a book called “Animals Behaving Badly.” The National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration analyzed the forecasts of groundhog prognosticators from 1988 to 2010 and concluded there was no correlation between predictions and the length of winter weather in a given year. Bad forecasting aside, history has a few ugly moments involving groundhog misbehavior on the big day, when designated groundhogs — and
some notable surrogates — are supposed to step into the sun each Feb. 2 and predict six more weeks of winter, or not. Legend has it that if the groundhog sees his shadow, winter will last for six more weeks. As always, the biggest Groundhog Day ruckus (Thursday will be the 126th) centers on prima donna PunxSee GROUNDHOG/Page 5

Deb Grogean, city of Sidney Transit manager, shared project scheduling for the municipal airport runway/shift extension project during January’s Sidney Municipal Airport Advisory Board meeting. She said a grant preapplication has been submitted to the FFA, and the final grant application will be submitted in late April or early May. There has been no word from FFA if the project will be fully funded in 2012 or split between 2012 and 2013. Groigean said support of the project is still indicated by the government agency. Pre-final plans are to be completed and submitted in March and closing for all land acquisition is planned in April. Final plans are to be submitted to FFA in May and the project should go to bid in June for opening and contract award. The project would then begin in July. Manager Mike Chappie reported the airport is now using market based fuel pricing instead of a formula that has been used from years back. He said the
new pricing will allow the airport to be more competitive. He also reported he has been working with area airports to split loads of fuel to take advantage of lower prices. Chappie told the board all hangar space is currently filled and reported Upper Valley Career Center has expressed interest in locating a class program at Sidney Airport. He shared they have funds available for storage of an airplane and are considering building a hangar here. Their program started with four students, but interest is growing. A new computer has been placed in the pilots’ weather room and the city’s IT department will be updating the computer in the office that processes Fuel Master data. Softener salt for the terminal and corporate hangar is now purchased in bulk to take advantage of lower prices. The city is receiving a new snow plow and will be bringing the older 5ton plow to the airport. The unit is four wheel drive and will make
snow removal easier and more efficient. Grogean said $50,000 is in the five year capital plan for the purchase of a new truck and plow in 2013 to be funded 95 percent by FFA grant funds. She asked board members their thoughts on basing hangar rental fees on hangar size and condition instead of charging a flat fee. Chappie agreed to develop a plan based on size and floor type ready for the board’s next meeting. In response to a question concerning dimness of the airport beacon, Chappie said one tree has been cut down and he is working on how to trip the second. All agreed the beacon needs to be moved. Chairman Chris Gibbs said replacement of the beacon could be placed on the board’s wish list for future projects using grant funds when the runway project is completed. Grogean said disposition of 37 acres north of the runway will require approval of a city ordinance declaring the land no longer needed. Jeff Amick, law director, will oversee the process and
assist with the bid process for sale of the property. An appraisal is currently underway for acquisition of easements for 12 properties west of the airport. Property owners will be contacted when final appraisals have been received. Chairman Gibbs told the board the next scheduled advisory board meeting will be April 12, his last as a member of the board. Since this is close to the start of the runway project, he asked if city council might be approached to eliminate the term limits of board members. He explained that since he has been involved with the project for many years he would still like to be actively involved in the project’s completion. Vice chairman Eric Kindig reminded him term limits are outlined in the resolution that established the advisory board. Veteran Sidney City Council member Tom Miller was introduced as the airport board’s newest member. He will be a voting member of the board and serve as liaison to city council.

BILL Husted, a Republican, welcomed Wednesday’s news of an upcoming Senate bill that would repeal the law. He estimates that removing the referendum from ballots would save taxpayers $1 million. “And it will save them the anguish of having to listen to both sides needlessly argue about a ballot effort,” Husted said in a telephone interview. Husted has said he wants Ohio lawmakers to restart the process of writing a new bill after this year’s presidential election. But lawmakers are considering the possibility of replacing the law with multiple bills, Niehaus said. Senators have divided the elections law into three areas for further review, he said. They are looking at changes to the state’s petition process, local elections boards’ operations and early voting rules. “If there are going to

cording to Sidney Police Chief Kevin Gessler, Fonner has no connection to the city of Sidney. Fonner confessed that in the early morning hours of Jan. 5, he broke into Birt’s Store and Mercer Landmark in New Weston and Moody’s Auto Service in Ansonia. He also confessed that on Dec. 21, 2011, he broke into True Point Elevator in Osgood. All four businesses are in Darke County. He also confessed to break-ins at other businesses beginning in November 2011. The investigation is ongoing.

The elections law contains many ideas backed by Husted, though state lawmakers also left their mark. A partisan fight ensued over the plan, and the elections measure cleared the state Legislature in late June with no Democratic support. The overhaul also contains some provisions that some Democrats do back, such as the ability for the secretary of state to contract for bulk purchase of election supplies to help reduce costs to the county boards. Among other changes, the law shortens the in-person early voting window from 35 days before Election Day to 17 days and the period for absentee voting by mail from 35 days to 21.

Warm Ohio winter brings out golfers, hikers BY JOANNE VIVIANO Associated Press

COLUMBUS (AP) — Ohio’s unseasonable weather is bringing golfers and hikers out in greater numbers, attracting more visitors to zoos and allowing the operator of a Lake Erie ferry to offer winter trips for the first time in six years. While temperatures climbed through the 50s this week, some were even ice skating in short sleeves and trading in their pants for shorts. Matt Dulli, an assistant golf pro at The Golf Club at Yankee Trace in the Dayton suburb of Centerville, said 115 rounds were played on the course Tuesday amid balmy temperatures that reached 60 degrees. “Over 100 players in the winter is extremely busy,” he said. “The first thing you hear out of people’s mouths is, ‘Can you believe we’re playing golf in January?’” At Cincinnati’s downtown Fountain Square, temperatures hovered around 60 degrees and people could be seen eating ice cream while children skated on an ice rink without coats or jackets. “I wear flip-flops and capris whenever I can, and I’ve worn those a lot this winter,” said Stephanie Jones, 23, of nearby Covington, Ky. Nicole Hall, 34, of Fort Mitchell, Ky. said she usually tells people she lives “in the wrong part of the hemisphere.” “But not this year,” she said. “I’m afraid cold weather might come back with a vengeance in 2013.” The unseasonable temperatures can be blamed on the jet stream staying much farther north than usual and has kept cold air from coming south from Canada, a trend that’s expected to extend into February, said meteorologist Mike Kurz at the National Weather Service in Wilmington. From December through January, average temperatures in Columbus

LT. GOV. Mary Taylor speaks of the continuing strong partnership between Honda and the state of Ohio Wednesday morning at the Anna Engine Plant. Area business and community leaders gathered to hear the announcement of a $98 million investment the company will be making in the Anna plant. Also shown is a new 2.4-liter direct injection engine, which will be one of the new engines to be produced at the Anna plant.
HONDA plant will also begin three manufacturing completely redesigned engines over the next two years. The project is part of the new “Earth Dreams” powertrain technology line-up, which will see the replacement of all of Honda’s engines and transmissions, according to Hide Iwata, president and CEO of Honda of America Manufacturing Inc. “Earth Dreams Technology” is a set of technological advancements to enhance both driving performance and fuel efaiming to ficiency, achieve top-of-theindustry fuel efficiency for every category within three years, while setting a goal of reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 30 percent (from year 2000 levels) for all products sold worldwide by 2020. The new production at the Russells Point and Anna plants will create 150 new jobs. “This announcement furthers our commitment to manufacturing in this state,” Iwata said. Honda has been a member of the Ohio business community since it opened its doors on the motorcycle plant in Marysville in 1979. That plant, followed by the Marysville auto plant opening in 1982 as well as an abundance of parts suppliers following in their wake, kindled a resurgence in Ohio manufacturing jobs after a period of widespread decline. “I know most companies see 30 years of manufacturing as a long time,” Iwata said. “We see things differently. This is
From Page 1 just the beginning.” Taylor spoke on behalf of the state to say she was “pleased to continue that heritage of a great strong partnership” between Ohio and Honda. Including this latest project, Honda has invested a total of about $8 billion in the state of Ohio, with more than half a billion announced just since November. The company employs more than 13,500 workers in the state of Ohio, including about 2,400 at the Anna Engine Plant and about 1,000 at Honda Transmission Manufacturing in Russells Point. The new powertrain line-up signals a rebound for the company that struggled to stay strong through a challenging time. “(2011) probably was the most difficult year in our history,” said John Spoltman, plant manager of the Anna Engine Plant. Production was hit hard by not only the same economic difficulties facing the broader community, but also the aftermath of the devastating Tohoku earthquake and tsunami in March, which severed supply lines of vital component parts for several months. Spoltman admitted that being the manager of the plant asked to produce “three completely new engines in two years” was stressful but he was “extremely excited” to be a part of the “Earth Dreams” initiative. On display at the event, along with several new component parts,
No mercy for killer COLUMBUS (AP) — A death row inmate’s theory that a mysterious “man in red” could have started the arson fire that killed his 3-year-old son is “an extraordinary stretch of the imagination,” the state parole board ruled Wednesday in unanimously rejecting his plea for mercy. Michael Webb doesn’t dispute the 1990 blaze was arson, but he denies starting it and says investigators using now-discredited methods came to the wrong conclusion about where in the house the flames broke out. He says the correct determi-
nation points to someone else as the culprit. Investigators say Webb set the fire to kill his family, collect the insurance and start a new life with his mistress. The Webb case is one in a series of cases around the U.S. that represents a new legal frontier: Defense attorneys in Iowa, Massachusetts, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Texas and other states are using advances in the science of fire investigation to challenge arson convictions, in much the same way they are employing DNA to clear those in prison for murder and rape.

was the first of the new engines — a 2.4-liter direct injection engine - to be produced at the Anna plant. After the announcement, Shelby County Commissioner Jack Toomey shared his enthusiasm at the prospects for the county. “I’m excited,” Toomey said. “Any time you come to the Honda plant it’s always good news. We are so pleased to have them here as corporate citizens.” The company is the largest employer in the county. I’m pleased to congratulate them on their past successes and all their future success,” Toomey said. “They have contributed millions to the Shelby County economy.”
were the 10th highest on record. Meanwhile, if the winter were to end now, the season would rank third for the least amount of snow in Cincinnati, which has had just 1.6 inches so far, Kurz said. Ohio is not unlike much of the U.S., where January was the third-least snowy on record — going back to 1967 — for the Lower 48, according to the Global Snow Lab at Rutgers University. Less than a fifth of the country outside of Alaska has snow on the ground. And, on Tuesday, all but a handful of states had temperatures in the 50s or higher. In the heart of the snow belt, Holden Arboretum saw a 32 percent jump in December attendance and a 20 percent jump in January visits, said Director of Guest Relations Dave Desimone. Over the two months, about 4,200 people visited the site in Kirtland, outside Cleveland, that features gardens, woodlands and trails. “A lot of people have that New Year’s resolution to stay more active, and I would have to guess that a walk in the woods would be far superior than a lap around the mall,” Desimone said. The early glimpses of spring weather also have led to more visitors hiking, walking dogs and playing with their children at state parks, according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources. And, along Lake Erie near Toledo, the Miller Boat Line ferry service that carries visitors to islands was beginning winter-time routes Wednesday for the first time in six years. Such trips require a plane during most winters. At the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium, President and CEO Dale Schmidt said families are bringing children without having to “put on three layers of clothing.” “Yesterday we had over 2,500 people in the zoo and you don’t normally get that on a Tuesday in January,” he said Wednesday. Typical winter weekday attendance is about 100, he said.

Woman wins suit LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Southern California owner of a Honda hybrid car won her unusual small-claims court lawsuit against the automaker over the vehicle’s failure to deliver its stated fuel economy. Los Angeles Superior Court Commissioner Douglas Carnahan awarded Heather Peters $9,867 on Wednesday, saying Honda did mislead her about the expected mileage. “At a bare minimum Honda was aware … that by the time Peters bought her car there were problems with its living up to its advertised mileage,” he wrote in the judgment. Peters opted out of a class-action lawsuit so she could try to claim a higher payment for the failure of her Civic to deliver the 50 miles per gallon that was promised when she bought it.
Facebook to go public NEW YORK (AP) — Facebook made a much-anticipated status update Wednesday: The Internet social network is going public eight years after its computer-hacking CEO Mark Zuckerberg started the service at Harvard University. That means anyone with the right amount of cash will be able to own part of a Silicon Valley icon that quickly transformed from dorm-room startup to cultural touchstone. If its initial public offering of stock makes enough friends on Wall Street, Facebook will probably make its stock-market debut in three or four months as one of the world’s most valuable companies. Facebook, which is now based in Menlo Park, Calif., hopes to list its stock under the ticker symbol, “FB,” on the New York Stock Exchange or Nasdaq Stock Market.
Pills recalled INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Birth control pills are known to be nearly 100 percent effective when taken properly, but a recall of the drugs could send a shudder through women of childbearing age. A manufacturing mix-up by Pfizer Inc., the world’s largest drug maker, led to some packets being distributed with the pills out of order. That means a patient could have unknowingly skipped a dose and raised her risk of an accidental pregnancy. Pfizer has recalled about 1 million packets of Lo/Ovral-28 and its generic equivalent, but the company estimates that only about 30 packets were flawed. The pills were made and shipped last year.
OUT OF THE BLUE Doughnut costs $210.79 POWELL, Wyo. (AP) — A 19-year-old college student accused of swiping a doughnut in Wyoming is going to be paying a pretty penny for that pastry. The Northwest Trail reports that Zach O’Dell has agreed to pay a $200 fine, $10 in court costs — and 79 cents to cover the cost of the doughnut. O’Dell was accused of eating the treat in Blair's Market in Powell on Nov. 28 and leaving without paying for it. He was charged with shoplifting. Attorney Sandra Kitchen says she has deferred the prosecution, and the charge will be dismissed in six months if O’Dell stays out of trouble.

Obama seeks to broaden reach of housing assistance FALLS CHURCH, Va. (AP) — Conceding his earlier housing programs have fallen short, President Barack Obama on Wednesday proposed a vast expansion of govassistance to ernment homeowners, aiming to make lower lending rates a possibility for millions of borrowers who have not been able to get out from under burdensome mortgages. The president’s proposal is laden with election-year politics and faces a difficult path in Congress. Obama wants to pay for the estimated $5 billion to $10 billion cost with a fee on the nation’s largest banks, a proposal that has failed to win support even when Democrats controlled both the House and Senate. In addition, its potential impact could be limited by the fact that it would not apply to borrowers who are behind on their home loan payments, those most threatened by foreclosure. The housing issue, while national in scope, particularly resonates in election battlegrounds such as Nevada and Florida that have faced record

PRESIDENT BARACK Obama holds up a proposed mortgage application form as he speaks at the James Lee Community Center in Falls Church, Va., Wednesday. Obama outlined a proposal he proposed in his State of the Union address to allow homeowners with privately held mortgages to take advantage of record low rates, for an annual savings of about $3,000 for the average borrower. foreclosures. Obama himself drew attention to the politics surrounding the issue with a jab at former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, now the front-runner in the Republi-
can presidential contest. Romney in October suggested the foreclosure process should be allowed to “run its course and hit the bottom.” Without naming Romney,
Obama said: “It is wrong for anyone to suggest that the only option for struggling, responsible homeowners is to sit and wait for the housing market to hit bottom. I refuse to accept that, and so do the American people.” Obama is asking Congress to pass legislation that would make it easier for more borrowers to refinance their loans, creating a new program through the Federal Housing Administration that would have the government assume the risk for the new mortgages. Obama cast the effort as not only a needed step to spur the economy but as a necessary boost to America’s sense of identity. “This housing crisis struck right at the heart of what it means to be middle class in America: our homes, the place where we invest our nest egg, place where we raise our family, the place where we plant roots in a community, the place where we build memories,” Obama said. He spoke at a community center in northern Virginia, outside Washington.
Taliban deny they’re ready for peace talks AP Photo/Damian Dovarganes, File
THIS MARCH 6, 2006, file photo shows Don Cornelius at his office in Los Angeles. Cornelius, creator of the long-running TV dance show “Soul Train,” shot himself to death Wednesday morning at his home in Los Angeles, police said. He was 75.
‘Soul Train’ host dies LOS ANGELES (AP) — “Soul Train” host Don Cornelius was the arbiter of cool, a brilliant TV showman who used his purring, baritone voice to seduce mainstream America into embracing black music and artists. But the “love, peace, and SOUL!” he wished viewers as he closed each show for decades escaped him as his life descended into marital trouble, illness and, finally, a fatal selfinflicted gunshot wound on Wednesday. Police went to his Mulholland Drive home around 4 a.m. after receiving a call from one of his sons, who became concerned after being contacted by his father. Cornelius, 75, was found shot and was pronounced dead an hour later at a nearby hospital. Authorities ruled out foul play, but have not found a sui-
cide note and are talking to relatives about his mental state. To music-hungry viewers, he was a smooth, sharp-dressed man who got them dancing to the hottest tracks going. The pop world’s biggest stars recalled him as much more: A cultural groundbreaker who advanced African-American music and culture; a black entrepreneur who overcame racism by strength of will; a visionary who understood rap’s emergence but criticized its rawness. Aretha Franklin, an early “Soul Train” performer, called him “an American treasure.” “God bless him for the solid, good and wholesome foundation he provided for young adults worldwide,” she said, “and the unity and brotherhood he singlehandedly brought about with his most memorable creation of ‘Soul Train.’”
KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — The Taliban dismissed reports they are preparing to talk peace with the Afghan government, and a NATO report leaked Wednesday shows captured insurgents full of confidence they will seize power after international troops leave. While both were setbacks to President Hamid Karzai’s quest to broker peace with the Taliban, his government got a big boost from Pakistan’s top diplomat who declared her nation’s support for an Afghan-led reconciliation process. Still, steps toward finding a political resolution to the 10year-old war continue to be bogged down in discussions among the U.S. and its partners over venues, agendas and conflicting interests. Pakistan’s Foreign Minister Hina Rabbani Khar said she was visiting Kabul to deliver the strong message that Pakistan would stand behind any peace initiative that was widely supported by all ethnic groups in Afghanistan. “Our only prerequisite to be supportive of an initiative is that it should be Afghan-led,” she said. “It should be Afghanowned. It should be Afghandriven and Afghan-backed.” She said the Afghans should determine the way for-
GROUNDHOG sutawney Phil, the seer of seers, sage of sages, prognosticator of prognosticators in Pennsylvania. But not even Phil has kept his pointy nose clean of misdeeds. “Phil is not a pet. Phil is truly not as warm and cuddly as perhaps you would want him to be. Phil is, in fact, a wild animal,” said Mike Johnston, vice president of Phil’s Inner Circle in Punxsutawney, where Groundhog Day began. “He will make his feelings known with a nip, maybe a couple of nips. If his handler continues to do things that displease him he’s likely to nail you,” Johnston said. Sound familiar, Mayor Michael Bloomberg? Charles G. Hogg, aka Staten Island Chuck, chomped on the mayor’s left index finger in 2009 when Bloomberg tried to coax him into the open using an ear of corn. “We try not to speak of it,” said Mary Lee Montalvo, a spokeswoman for Chuck’s stomping ground, the Staten Island Zoo. “They have tried to make up. They’ve done a pretty good job. We’ve
ward and then nations in the region and the greater international community should back the plan. “This is the way the direction should be seen, rather than the other way around where others determine the direction, and the Afghans, we feel, are sometimes left to follow,” she said. While she didn’t mention the United States, Afghan officials have complained privately that the peace effort has so far been dominated by American efforts and U.S. talks with Taliban representatives. Rumors have swirled for days that Karzai’s government was seeking direct talks with the Taliban in Saudi Arabia — a move seen as Karzai’s attempt to take charge of the peace effort. A statement Wednesday from Taliban spokesman Zabiullah Mujahid rejected those reports as “baseless.” The Taliban calls the Afghan government a puppet regime. The insurgency, however, has agreed to set up a political office in the Gulf state of Qatar and has acknowledged having preliminary discussions with the U.S. “Before the negotiation phase, there should be trustbuilding between the sides, which has not started yet,” Mujahid said.
From Page 1 had no incidents since. I think Chuck thought the mayor was taking his food.” Bloomberg decided on industrialstrength gloves the following year. “I think they’re both feisty,” Montalvo said. The mayor will be back by Chuck’s side Thursday for another go-round. A handful of other groundhog forecasters have impeccable manners, including Gen. Beauregard Lee at the Yellow River Game Ranch in Lilburn, outside of Atlanta. The difference is nobody lays hands on the general, said Stefanie Reeves, his publicist. “He comes out on his own, or he doesn’t. We don’t control him. He controls us,” she said. The St. Louis Zoo gave up on Groundhog Day a year or so ago after their resident Lilly first refused to leave her burrow, then died of old age in 2009. In the ’80s, the zoo had Puck, who according to news accounts ran away right before Groundhog Day in 1989, after two years of faulty forecasts. A potbellied pig named Bacon was deputized in 1996,
when the zoo ran out of groundhogs. Groundhog Day was once a big deal in Niagara, Ky., where another potbellied pig, Arnold, was trotted out to make the prediction after the resident groundhog ate his way out of his enclosure. In New Jersey, the Franklin Township area’s groundhog lodge disbanded after 15 years in 2005 after J.B., which stands for Just Because, went missing from his burrowing grounds on a farm. The rodent hasn’t shown his shadow since. On Thursday, up to 18,000 people are expected to gather at Gobbler’s Knob to see what Punxsutawney Phil has to say about winter. And Johnston scoffed at the scientists who suggest the groundhog can’t predict the weather. Phil is never wrong, he said, because somewhere — and Phil doesn’t say where — winter is either going to end, or go on. “He is not burdened with the necessity to be site-specific,” Johnston said. “If you question the science, perhaps you’ve missed the point.”

New quiz shows whether elderly can live at home Senior Helpers, one of the largest in-home senior care companies in the nation, has created the Senior Helpers’ Stay At Home Score quiz. It’s a quick, eight question quiz adult children take to help determine whether their parents can live independently in their own home. The quiz was created for Senior Helpers by Dr. John Bowling, a professor at Southern Oregon University and an expert on senior care and positive aging. “Aging parents may insist they’re well enough to live in their own homes even if they’re not,” said Bowl-
ing. “I developed this quiz to give adult children a guideline to determine their parents’ needs, whether they are self-sufficient, if they can live at home with help from an in-home caregiver, or if it’s time to move them to a place where they can get round-the-clock care.” He provided two sample questions from the Senior Helpers’ Stay At Home Score Quiz. The full quiz is available at www.stayathomescore.co m. There are five answers that range from “never” to “always.” 1. Support — My parent has easy access to a caring support system of
family and friends that he/she can rely on for daily assistance with physical, financial, and emotional needs. These family members and friends can provide this support willingly, without compromising their own daily lives and schedules. 2. Mobility — My parent is very mobile and can walk indoors and outdoors easily, without falling. He/she can get into and out of bed, chairs, showers and tubs easily, and can climb stairs without slipping or pausing. He/she can safely operate an automobile and navigate city streets and highways.

Many not financially ready to be caregivers
BATON ROUGE, La., — Many Americans say they are not financially prepared to be a caregiver for an elderly loved one, according to a new survey. In a survey conducted online in November by Harris Interactive for Amedisys, a leading provider of home health care and hospice services, 36 percent of Americans who anticipate being a caregiver for an elderly family member, friend, partner or neighbor say they are not at all prepared for the financial burden. In comparison, that is 13 percentage points higher than the next two concerns cited by people who expect to be carenot having The writer is the mar- givers: enough time to take care keting and admissions of another person and director at Dorothy Love not having enough exRetirement Community.
pertise about diseases or conditions (both 23 percent). AARP statistics show that at any given time, nearly 44 million Americans are taking care of an older family member. Caring for an elderly loved one can be an expensive proposition. The out-of-pocket annual cost for caregivers, which includes necessities such as food, travel, transportation, medical insurance co-pays and medications, is nearly $5,500, according to a study by the National Alliance for Caregiving. One of the best options for elderly adults is home health care, which gives patients access to highly skilled nursing service in the comfort of

In the United States, heart disease is the number one cause of d e a t h among men and women. There are steps Senior you can Living take to l o w e r Lu Ann y o u r Presser risks: • Know your blood pressure and if it is high, consult your physician. Keeping your blood pressure at an acceptable level can premany heart vent problems. • Eat a healthy diet and control your weight. Your diet can help prevent high LDL cholesterol, the bad cholesterol that causes build-up in your arteries. If you are a diabetic, monitoring your glucose levels and controlling carbohydrate intake is essential. People with diabetes run a greater risk of developing heart disease. • Stop smoking.

School in Sweden, school in America
BY ELIN STJERNGREN After being in America for almost five months, I have noticed that the biggest difference I see is in the school systems. It was very diffeerent going from the smallest school in my old town in Sweden to an American school with 1,200 students. In the beginning I got lost trying to find the right classroom, meeting the new people, and talking a whole different language even if speaking English has always felt very natural to me. It was still hard not being able to express myself like I was used. The biggest change was definitely the schedules. In Sweden, we have different classes every day and longer breaks. For example, a typical day would probably be having two hours of history, on hour of math and then two hours of English. Our breaks are at least fifteen minutes long and sometimes up to forty minutes. We are free to do whatever we want on our breaks, such as go to the library, hang out with friends in the cafeteria, or just go to town.
Tattoos and Society BY ETHAN DYER
While some may claim tattoos are a bad idea because they are permanent, there is evidence to show that they are evolving from the stereotypical biker type to become popular with all walks of life. Ask yourself if you know anyone that has a tattoo. Chances are you do. Perhaps you even have one yourself. The popularity of tattoos has exploded over recent years. Once thought to be worn only by “bad boys” tattoos can be found anywhere and everywhere these days. The reasons for getting them vary just as much as the diversity of those that get them. Taken from ancient traditions tattooing has become the new fad. Given the history of the tattoo, people still looked upon this form of body art as being for the rebellious types. Bikers, sailors, and prisoners were commonly associated with tattoos. Tattoo shops were considered to be dirty, seedy places where the criminal element could be found. Common thought was that law abiding, decent citizens just did not have tattoos. But that was then and this is now, times change as do fads. So what is today’s opinion? According to an msnbc.com article about 36 percent of Americans age 18 to 29 have at least one tattoo. The article based on a study on the Web site Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology suggests 24 percent of Americans between 18 and 50 have tattoos. So how long will the craze last? Who knows but one thing is for sure the popularity of tattoos is booming and those without them could soon be in the minority. From millenniums ago to the present day tattoos have been applied for various reasons and for millenniums to come tattoos will still be around. Fads come and fads go but remember this fad is permanent. And if you should spot a tattoo on somebody at the mall keep in mind that they could be a doctor, lawyer, police officer, firefighter, or even an outlaw biker type. You just cannot tell anymore who may be sporting that tattoo. Like them or not though tattoos appear to be here to stay.

Mamba Time! BY TROY ROSENGARTEN
Tyree (Mamba) Manley has been on fire of late. He is a 5'11 junior who has struggled with turnovers this year, but has been scoring at will whenever he wants. Teams are having trouble finding people that can guard Mamba. He has a lot of style to his game, but he also has a lot of technique to his game. In Sidney's two wins this year, he has had maybe the two best games of his high school career. He has scored double digits seven times this year, with the home Greenville game being his best scoring game with 34 points. In the Piqua game he scored 19 points, all coming in the second half. He has brought his season average to 11.3 points a game, second highest to Patwuan Hudson, who is averaging 19.4 points a game. Mamba has had his trouble at the free-throw line this year, he is 25 for 40 this year from the line, which is 62.5 percent, but he is shooting 30.5 percent from deep. He has made 18 three pointers, which is 16th in the GWOC this year. He has been shooting 40 percent so far this year. He is second on the team behind Patwuan, who is shooting 40.9 percent on the year. Mamba is also ranked 16th in the GWOC in steals, with 2.1 percent. He has also made his way to the top 50 for blocks at 43rd. He is averaging 0.4 blocks a game, which is far from being the best on the team. Gold Barnes, averaging 3.3 blocks per game, will hold the spot for the rest of the year.

Smiling Spearman
BY: JULIA HARRELSON Senior Lindsey Spearman may have only started playing basketball in the 5th grade, but that means nothing when she has had such a remarkable high school career. She started varsity her freshman year, an impressive feat, and has been a starter ever since. Although freshman year she only averaged 3.8 points per game, she is now averaging 17.8 points per game, leading the team. Her quick feet, anticipation, and well-timed leap helps her lead the team in steals as well. Though she is an important asset while playing, she also is a factor in the overall attitude of the team. “Lindsey never fails to keep the team laughing and entertained,” said fellow senior Maria Yannucci. “She constantly has a smile on her face, even when she is playing.” Not only does Yannucci and the rest of the team notice this, but even some fans from Graham High School caught sight of her smiling during warm-ups of a game and gave her the nickname “Smiles” for the rest of the evening. Spearman does have a lot to smile about. Her sophomore year she had 54 steals and a 3-pt shooting percentage of 38.8. Both of these stats were Lehman Girls Basketball individual records, and she will have more added from her junior and senior years. Right now, Spearman is only 87 points away from joining the 1000 point club, a group made up of only six members who scored 1000 points in their career. She has four regular season games and at least one tournament game left to reach this milestone. With her senior year in its closing weeks, Spearman said, “It’s sad, but I have had a fun four years.” After high school, she plans on becoming a nurse. Her college is undecided but if she were offered a scholarship to play basketball, she would consider it. Come out and cheer on “Smiles” and the rest of the Lady Cavs as they finish ther season.
The Nerd Herd
Issue #18- February 2, 2012
BY: MEGHAN BENNETT As Thane Yost once said, “The will to win is worthless if you do not have the will to prepare." Lehman High School’s Envirothon team knows this all too well. Though it is early in the season, the team has already begun preparation for the competition that will be held later in the spring. Lehman’s team will compete at the Ohio Area 4 Envirothon on May 1 in Preble County. The Ohio Area 4 Envirothon is a competitive, academic, outdoor team event for high school students that tests their understanding in areas of environmental studies. These areas include aquatic ecology, current environmental issues, forestry, soils and wildlife. This event helps to bring awareness of the environment and to engage young adults in issues that will affect the environment in their future. For the competition, teams consist of five members from the same high school. The team with the highest combined score at the end of the competition wins. The top four teams placing at the Ohio Area 4 Envirothon then move on to the State Envirothon Competition. Over the years, the Lehman team has been close, but has never made it to the state competition. This year, with hard work and dedication, the team is putting out major effort with the hopes of fulfilling their goal. “Envirothon is a great program that brings awareness of our environment. Our team this year is awesome and we are working hard to do the best we can,” said junior Pierce Bennett. The team has even given itself the name “The Nerd Herd”. If it is comraderie that ignites the flame in a team, then Lehman’s Envirothon team is the brightest light shining. Right now, preparation for the competition includes much studying, discussion, and hands-on activities, such as identifying real animal pelts and bones. We wish our Envirothon team members the best of luck as they prepare for competition!
Celebrating Life
Science Fair
BY: COLLEEN KINNINGER
BY: MADILYN BROWN
Despite the cold temperature and rainy atmosphere, the Lehman Catholic Pro-Lifeguards traveled to Washington D.C. on January 22 to make a pilgrimage in protest of the Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision. The group attended the Youth Rally and Mass with 17,000 other Catholic youth and religious at the Verizon Center. First time marcher, senior Meghan Bennett commented, “The March was an overwhelming and unforgettable experience. The Youth Rally was my favorite part. It was truly uplifting to see 17,000 people all fighting for one cause.” After the Mass, the group traveled down to the National Mall and heard speeches by famous pro-life speakers and politicians. The March then started, and the Pro-Lifeguards joined thousands of people from across the nation in protesting against legalized abortion. Vice-President Emily Pax has attended the March for all four years of high school, but it still makes a great impact on her. “It was cold and wet, but there were still so many people. It really showed it was a cause worth fighting for,” she said. Another four-year marcher, senior Daniel Sehlhorst, added, “Witnessing the March for Life is truly inspiring. It shows how many people believe so strongly in supporting and defending life. I am so glad to have attended this year.” Seeing so many people come together to fight against one of the most deadly causes in American history is truly inspiring. It is always a great experience to know that so many people feel so strongly against abortion. It gives hope that someday there might be a change in the law and abortion will be illegal forever.
It’s that time of the year again. If you are taking biology or physics, you know that it is time for making all the last adjustments to your science fair projects. For some, this is exciting and interesting, for others it is just another chance to procrastinate. Meghan Burner, a sophomore in biology, said her science fair project tested which products that are applied to grass make it survive in freezing temperatures. “I’m super excited about science fair,” she said. “I care about the enviroment and I can’t wait to present my project.” “I’m pumped about science fair!” stated Seth Bensman, another sophomore in biology. His project is based on how temperature affects magnetic force. He said he chose this topic “because it seemed interesting.” Rob Heckman did not seem as enthused about science fair as his classmates. “ I am not even sure what my topic is all about yet and so far I only have two sources,” he said. Whether students are ready or not, February 15 is right around the corner.

Anna woman volunteers in Guatemala Pulfer gives back to the country that gave her a son ANNA — For Dawn Pulfer, of Anna, her trip with Habitat for Humanity International to Guatemala in November was a chance for her to give something back to the homeland of her adopted son, José. While the mission was accomplished, a visit to the Guatemala City Dump opened her eyes to the work of another of God’s angels on earth. Before the group traveled four hours to Quetzaltenango, Pulfer had the opportunity to meet up with her friend and Ashley missionary, Williams. The 24-year-old Williams, who was instrumental in the care that José received while he was in Guatemala, founded the nonprofit organization, Hope Renewed International. a ChatWilliams, tanooga, Tenn. native, has been spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ there since she was 18 years old. Pulfer said an area referred to as “The Dump” is a 40-acre site of one of the most toxic dumpsites in Central America. Human and animal corpses decompose amid the site that has some 3,000 people living there. Another 30,000 squatters live along the edges of the site where many look for food. “The thing about poverty there is not only is the deplorable sight of it breathtaking; the stench will take your

Williams ministers to those at The Dump as they look for food and shelter among medical waste and trenches of raw sewage. Pulfer said Williams also ministers to street gang members, orphans and in the women’s prison. Many times she faces lifethreatening situations to bring help and hope to those in need. Pulfer said most of the people living in the area were Mayan, just as her son. Most of those speak a tribal dialect and unable to communicate with the Spanish language. Many end up in the dump area because they are unemployable and considered an outcast with few op-
tions. After experiencing The Dump, Pulfer joined her brother, Shawn Wilt, of Toledo, and the rest of the mission group to begin their building project. It would be her second Third World mission trip having worked with Dr. Lisa Alvetro and dental care volunteers in Tanzania, Africa. Her purpose was to help those whom God had led to her family in adopting José, who is of Mayan decent, in June 2007 when he was just 9 months old. Pulfer was part of a 41-member team conducting a Habitat Building Blitz to construct four homes during their weeklong stay. Spending her time watching God’s people at work was an
added plus, she said. The team that Pulfer served on was selected to build a home in the mountains at an altitude of 9,000 feet near the Mayan village of Chiquirichapa that would house two brothers and their families. The hands-on project required lifting heavy concrete blocks, building a strong foundation, carpentry work and other home needs. Unfortunately, electricity and running water were not available for the structures. High in the mountains, Pulfer said they literally “worked among the clouds” and it was there she suffered altitude sickness and dehydration. Although not in the region of José’s birth mother, Pulfer said she had a yearning to see her again and thank her for allowing José to become part of their family and to reassure her that José was greatly loved. “I found myself searching for her among the many Mayan women we were with, even though I knew logistically we weren’t close to her tribal village.” It was Dec. 17, 2005, that Pulfer says God placed it on her heart to adopt. Saying only, “It was a God thing” that she knew, and her family would soon, bringing Jose into their lives was much more than mortal comprehension. A week later, in the early morning hours of Christmas Eve, with the home and family primed
Ehemann joins village legislature BY KATHY LEESE ANNA — Anna Council members have welcomed a n e w member after appointing K u r t Ehemann at a rec e n t meeting. E h e - Ehemann mann replaces Carol Harshbarger, whose petitions were reportedly not correctly filled out for the November election, making her ineligible to run for the office at that time. He was named to the council in a 3-2 vote. Ehemann is pleased to have been chosen to serve on the council. “The council members had a very difficult decision to make. There were three qualified applicants. The council’s decision is
greatly appreciated, and I am looking forward to working with them.” “There was an opening and I had ... finished a second four-year term on the Anna Local School Board,” Ehemann said. “I believe we need to keep Anna moving forward.” Ehemann, 49, has lived in Anna for 44 years and works in engineering at the Honda Engine Plant, where he is a section leader. When asked what got him interested in politics, Ehemann said, “How can you not be interested in politics? The media likes to keep the issues in front of the public. This position has nothing to do with politics. The main focus of this position is doing what is right for the village.” “Having lived in or around the village all my life, I think I understand the issues the village face(s). I believe I listen
to and hear the people. I believe that I can make good decisions based on facts,” Ehemann said. “My focus on council will be to help improve the village and to keep it growing. I will receive the (council) committee assignments in the next few weeks.” Ehemann is the husband of Julie Ehemann, Shelby County Commissioner and former Anna mayor, and is the father of Shelby, a freshman at Ohio Northern University. He spends his free time with family activities; raising livestock including steer, goats and horses; horseback riding; in the outdoors; woodworking; and enjoys antique cars and restoring old houses. Ehemann belongs to the Shelby County Vets to D.C., Anna Education Foundation, Ohio Farm Bureau Shelby County Chapter, Green Energy Ohio and Ohio Boer
Goat Association. Ehemann, who is a member of St. Jacob Lutheran Church, attended Northwestern Business College, where he majored in auto and diesel mechanics. Ehemann noted that he will “work hard for the village” and had a message for Anna residents. “My number is in the phone book. We might not always agree, but I will listen to what you say. If I am asked a question and do not have (an) answer, I will get back to you after I find an answer. “The village of Anna is my hometown. I spent my entire life here. It is a wonderful place to grow up, settle down and raise a family. It has an excellent school system. People will help out if they see a person in need. Sure we have issues, but personally, I like this small village,” Ehemann said.
Anna Council establishes PIRG BOTKINS — Several ordinances and resolutions were passed at Tuesday’s Botkins Council meeting. The council passed an ordinance establishing a Property Investment Reimbursement Grant (PIRG) for the entire village. A PIRG is an economic development tool that allows a portion of a company’s payroll tax to be reimbursed at the end of a year if the company has made substantial capital purchases or in-
creased its workforce. The council also passed a resolution declaring a parcel at the Botkins Industrial Park is no longer needed for municipal purposes. This allows the Botkins Community Improvement Corporation the ability to negotiate sale of the land to any interested investor. Dick Platfoot, owner of Buckeye Electrical, informed the BCIC he is interested in buying the land and relocating his business here.
Village Solicitor Stan Evans helped guide the council through an inducement resolution involving the Franciscan Care Center of Sylvania. Essentially, the village would use its legal status to help a medical facility obtain bonds for a certain project. No risk or bond obligation comes to the village, all legal fees are paid by the medical facility and for its participation in acting as bond sponsor Botkins receives $12,000. The
council also approved this resolution. Recently the village inquired about bids to mow the community park and the industrial park. Administrator Jesse Kent reviewed the bid opening from Jan. 27. It was decided to reject all bids and maintain part-time staff at the community park. The meeting ended with executive session and a discussion on compensation. The next meeting is Feb. 14 at 7 p.m.
for the celebration, Pulfer couldn’t sleep. with a Struggling headache, she retreated to the family room easy chair. She began crying. “All I remember was God putting on my heart something I’ll never forget. ‘Thy Father has a plan for me and I will walk in His path’. I knew then we were just supposed to do it (adopt).” Pulfer said telling the family of her spiritual drive to adopt, her husband Scott, was at first taken aback. More that just a thought, Pulfer knew even then their son would be waiting in Guatemala. Following an extensive search, the Pulfers chose All God’s Children International of Portland, Ore., drawn particularly to their faith statements. “From the beginning, I knew God had a special boy for us. The birth mother chose us for her son. On this trip I was hoping I would see her again but never did. I just wanted to thank her for letting José be part of our lives.” Pulfer, who attends Cornerstone Assembly of God Church in Sidney, is very grateful for her friends and family back home who were praying
all week for the group. While she was in Guatemala, it was her friends and family who helped out with meals for Scott, and their children, Max, Ross, Olivia and José. In addition, those friends continued to help out after Pulfer’s return as she was recuperating from illness she suffered on a mountainside in Guatemala. While there, the area experienced two earthquakes and Pulfer’s mother suffered a heart attack. Weakened by her own maladies during the trip, Pulfer learned of her mother upon her return. Her mother’s recovery is going well, she said. Reflecting, Pulfer said the Habitat ministry conviction came to mind, which is “to follow the teaching of Jesus Christ, we must reflect Christ’s love in our own lives by loving and caring for one another.” “I have a very special place in my heart for Guatemala. And it’s an opportunity and an honor to be the hands and feet of Jesus to reach those that live in conditions that we can’t even imagine.” Scott and Dawn plan to return to Guatemala in the future.
Fundraiser to benefit counseling center BOTKINS — The Shelby County Counseling Center (SCCC) is playing host to a fundraiser at The Palazzo in Botkins. The event will be held Feb. 25 and will feature a dinner, a silent auction and the Dayton-area band Adult Supervision Required, which specializes in ’70s and ’80s music. The chairman of the board, Jesse Kent, said all proceeds will go towards the center’s capital fund. “This event is about celebrating SCCC’s place in the community,” said Kent. “As the primary caregiver for drug and alcohol treatment, and mental health issues in Shelby County, the SCCC is an invaluable asset for our area.”
The center’s new home at 1101 N. Vandemark Road is a state-of-the-art treatment facility. On average, 2,500 individuals are seen every year at the SCCC. The new center was funded in part through a capital grant from the Ohio Department of Mental Health. “This grant was the first awarded in over 14 years for the development of a new outpatient treatment facility,” said Ken Ward, the executive director of SCCC. “The building’s amenities allow the staff to focus on the patient.” The fundraising event will begin at 5:30 p.m., and tickets are $20 per person. For more information, call Jesse Kent at 538-0410.

Celibacy: a calling and gift of God Celibacy has is that it is not a that always been an lifestyle important subpeople normally ject of discussion choose but a gift among Christhat God gives to tians in the ensome individutire history of als.

Jesus anour understanding of it. swers, “Not everyone can Paul’s teaching on accept this teaching, but celibacy, which he fully only those to whom it is presents in 1 Corinthians given.” (Matthew 19:11). 7, can be summarized in He then goes on to recomone phrase: Celibacy is mend celibacy, encouragthe better way to serve ing his disciples to the Lord, but not the only consider it as a way of life. way. This is a continua- “For there are eunuchs tion of Christ’s own teach- who have been so from ing on celibacy. birth, and there are euThe first thing that nuchs who have been Jesus teaches on celibacy made eunuchs by others,
and there are eunuchs who have made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. Let anyone accept this who can” (Matthew 19:12). It is important to note that there is only one justifiable reason for adopting celibacy. It is not to avoid the problems of marriage or the challenges of dealing with the opposite sex or the hassles of raising kids. Christian celibacy is for one and one reason only, for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. Paul would later throw more light on what this means. Even though Jesus recommended celibacy only to his full-time followers, the disciples, Paul would recommend it to all believers. Following the example of Jesus, who was celibate, Paul himself lived a life of celibacy. Yet recognized that he celibacy is a gift not given to all. “I wish everyone
could get along without marrying, just as I do. But we are not all the same. God gives some the gift of marriage, and to others he gives the gift of singleness. Now I say to those who aren’t married and to widows — it’s better to stay unmarried, just as I am” (1 Corinthians 7:7-8 NLT). Paul obviously sees celibacy as the “better” way to serve God. He explains: “The unmarried man is anxious about the affairs of the Lord, how to please the Lord; but the married man is anxious about the affairs of the world, how to please his wife, and his interests are divided. And the unmarried woman and the virgin are anxious about the affairs of the Lord, so that they may be holy in body and spirit; but the married woman is anxious about the affairs of the world, how to please her husband” (1 Corinthians 7:32-34).
Paul does not promote celibacy for its own sake. Stoic philosophers exalted the virtue of self-control and shunned marriage because they saw it as a sign of failure to control one’s passions. For them any celibacy was better than any marriage. Paul does not share this view. For Paul the only celibate life that is worth living is one that frees the person to give “unhindered devotion to the Lord” (verse 35). It releases one from the business of raising a family so that one can devote oneself wholeheartedly to the business of pleasing and serving God. If celibacy should become a burden rather than a liberation for God’s service, then it should be reconsidered. “But if they can’t control themselves, they should go ahead and marry. It’s better to marry than to burn with lust” (1 Corinthians 7:9). In the current debate on celibacy in the church,
there are two extremes to avoid. One is that the discipline of celibacy is an outdated relic from medieval times that should now be discarded. This is wrong because celibacy is a gift from God to certain individuals for the good of building up God’s kingdom on earth. The other is that celibacy, even when it is clearly not working, is always better than marriage. This may be Stoic thinking but not the Christian message. Let us today thank God for the gift of celibacy in the church. And let us pray for a better understanding and practice of celibacy in the church not as a constraint but as a way to promote good order and unhindered devotion to the Lord among the people of God. The writer is pastor of St. Michael Catholic Church, Fort Loramie, and Sts. Peter and Paul Catholic Church, Newport.

Program to focus on Pope Church adds John Paul II’s teachings worship service FORT LORAMIE — Damon Owens, a popul a r speaker on Pope John Paul II’s landm a r k w o r k , “Theology the of B o d y, ” w i l l Owens speak at Fort Loramie High School’s junior high gym on Feb. 15 from 7 to 8:30 p.m. and at St. Michael Catholic Church in Fort Loramie on Feb. 16 from 7 to 9:30 p.m. Owens will present his “Teen Talk” on Feb. 15 and “God, Sex and the Meaning of Life” for college-age adults and beyond on Feb. 16, which will delve into the revolutionary teaching on marriage, God and the human body and sexuality. This presentation is based on Pope John Paul II’s first major teaching series of his pontificate. In 129 short talks between September 1979
and November 1984, the pope provided a vision of human embodiment and erotic love. Owens represents the Theology of the Body Institute, whose mission is to educate and train men and women to understand, live and promote John Paul II’s teaching on the theology of the body. The institute is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit educational organization promoting theology of the body in both religious and secular cultures through graduate level courses, on-site speaker events and clergy training. The Theology of the Body teaching is internationally and nationally recognized. Many leaders across the country are joining workshops and attending conferences in order to gain a greater understanding of this teaching, program organizers said. As a result of the message, attendees are renewing marriages, awakening vocations,
healing deep personal wounds and finding freedom to live the life of greatness for which they were created, organizers said. Both talks are open to all adults; however, it is recommended that teens who wish to accompany the adult presentation be accompanied by an adult. “Since I was first exposed to Pope John Paul II’s Theology of the Body, I have fallen in love with the Catholic faith. I now know the ‘whys’ behind the things we believe and it is so beautiful and inspiring,” said Kate Boeke, coordinator of religious education for grades 7-12 at St. Michael Catholic Church. The presentation will be sponsored by St. Michael Catholic Church of Fort Loramie, St. Mary Church of Greenville and Shelby County Right to Life. Cost for attending is $5 for each student not belonging to a sponsoring
parish. Free-will donations will be accepted at the adult talk. For more information and to register, contact Boeke at St. Michael Church, 2952179, or kateb@nflregion.org.

Feb. 2, 1912 Last night there was a large attendance of the Boy Scouts in the basement of the M.E. church. During the meeting plans were completed for the Republican convention to be held next week. The three boys who are to represent the three Republican leaders chose their campaign managers, as follows: Zimpher as Theodore Roosevelt, Sexauer first manager, Smoot second; Boyer as William H. Taft; Pfefferie as first manager, Roth second; Heck as Senator LaFollette, Pence first manager, Welsh second. ––––– P.W. Gritzmaker has announced himself as a candidate for county commissioner, subject to the decision of the Democratic primary election. ––––– Mrs. H.L. Rice of this city, has been appointed a non-resident member of the Women’s Auxiliary of the Piqua Memorial Hospital. The appointment was made by W.P. Orr who recently established a nurses training school at the hospital.
facility that is more conscientious about the care they are being paid to provide. — CAREGIVER IN FLORIDA DEAR ABBY: The assisted living staff should not be calling her mother by those names. The legal term is “elder speak,” or as it is commonly known — baby talk. This infantilizes elders. It is detrimental to their care and contributes to “ageism,” a process in which elders are perceived as less valuable than others. The family was right to speak up and, regardless of cultural considerations, the staff and director should respect their wishes and refer to their mother by her appropriate name. — SHOCKED R.N. IN CALGARY, CANADA
Feb. 2, 1937 Forward steps were taken by the First Baptist church of Sidney at the quarterly business meeting held last evening. A building committee of the trustees and five members to be appointed by the trustees and pastor, will be named. Plans will be made for the remodeling of the church building. ––––– Company I, Local unit of the National Guard, is expected to return to Sidney this afternoon after nearly two weeks of flood duty in Cincinnati, according to word received from Captain Robert F. Kaser. The company left the evening of January 24, after completing mobilization within two weeks after orders were received. ––––– John and Richard McCaslin, sons of Mr. and Mrs. John McCaslin, have returned to their home in Cincinnati after spending the week here visiting at the home of their grandmother, Mrs. E.W. Laughlin, at Stony Brook farm South of the city. They spent the time here while the school they attend was closed because of the flood.
50 years Feb, 2, 1962 Early discovery of a fire at the George Yinger home near Port Jefferson about 10 o’clock this morning prevented more serious damage to the house located opposite Glen Cemetery, Southwest of that village. The fire apparently originated around the stove pipe where it enters the chimney at one side of the home. It spread up and down the
wall of the living room, with damage being confined to the interior of the structure. Port Jefferson Fire Chief Marion Carey said the loss would run between $200 and $250. ––––– Thomas W. Short, 38, 697 Norwood drive, will be a Republican candidate for the nomination as county auditor in the primary on May 8th.
25 years Feb. 2, 1987 A proposal to remove all the on-street parking meters in Sidney and offer free, two hour parking was discussed Tuesday at a meeting of the parking committee of the Sidney-Shelby County Chamber of Commerce. Under the proposal the city would remove all the on street parking meters and allow two hour, free parking. Person’s parking longer than two hours would be fined $5. ––––– The Rev. Ted Wonder paints his face and dresses in baggy clothes to share the word of God. His messages frequently includes balloon sculptures, juggling demonstrations and feather dusters. Wonder, associate pastor in charge of membership and visitation at First United Methodist Church in Sidney, is known to many as Buckeye the Clown. “God did not bless me with a good voice for singing”, he says. But he did plant the seed of clowning in me. Wonder points out that his clown ministry did not evolve overnight. The roots go back to college days when he portrayed a cat in dramatic productions and won a hobo contest. ––––– Florida has become a haven for unwelcome wildlife from other countries, according to National Wildlife Magazine. These”exotic” species include rhesus monkeys descended from the stars of early Tarzan movies filmed in the state. Many exotic parrots and parakeets dine on the state citrus and other crops. Among its most bizarre species is a giant South American toad that secretes strong poison and likes to lay its eggs in swimming pools. ––––– These news items from past issues of the Sidney Daily News are compiled by the Shelby County Historical Society (498-1653) as a public service to the community.

CAUTION 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. If you have questions regarding scams like these or others, please contact the Ohio Attorney General’s office at (800)282-0515.

Sidney, Piqua meet again BY KEN BARHORST kbarhorst@sdnccg.com On second thought… Sidney High head boys basketball coach Greg Snyder was disappointed with his team’s play Friday night after the loss to Vandalia, but after watching film of the game, he changed his tune a bit. “Yes, it was disappointing that we gave them so many transition baskets, but I rewatched the tape and I have to give Vandalia more credit than our kids all the blame,” he said. “Our kids really did play hard. On the first possession of the game, there were four turnovers, and our kids were diving all over the place. “We didn’t shoot well, and whether we took good shots is up for debate,” he went on. “But the fact is, we didn’t put the ball in the basket. Vandalia is well-coached and they run their stuff so well. Going back, I was more pleased with our
play after I watched the film.” The Jackets will be road warriors this weekend, although the trip Friday night is a short one, just down the road at Piqua, where the Indians, 3-11, will no doubt be looking to avenge a 63-53 loss at Sidney on Jan. 6. Then on Saturday, the Jackets make the long trip to West Carrollton to face a Pirate team that is 9-7 on the year. Snyder knows what to expect Friday at Piqua, where the two rivals will meet for the second time. “We expect nothing less than their best,” he said. “And they are a very tough team at home. I’m sure they feel like they could have done better in certain areas, but whatever happened the first time we played, it really doesn’t matter Friday night. We know they’re going to be motivated, it should be a good crowd and good atmosphere, and we
need to be ready to play.” The Indians have just one player in double figures in Taylor Welbaum at 11.5. They are not scoring many points, averaging just 51.9 to Sidney’s 57. But Piqua is giving up about 12 points less per game than the Jackets. “On offense, Piqua is very balanced,” said Snyder. “We had trouble controlling Welbaum the last time. He did a good job of breaking us down, especially early in the game. But if you focus too much on him, they have good inside players. They can hurt you a number of ways. “There were several keys the last time,” he added. “We played with so much emotion, and we were fortunate enough to make some shots. We were down in the third quarter and Tyree (Manley) took the bull by the horns and got to the basket. He didn’t settle for outside shots. He got around them and got into the paint

OHIO STATE football coach Urban Meyer answers questions from reporters during an NCAA college football national signing day event on Wednesday in Columbus.
Meyer closes deal on top 5 recruiting class COLUMBUS (AP) — When opposing recruiters brought up Ohio State’s bowl ban and other problems, new Buckeyes coach Urban Meyer fought back. “It was a two-week assault,” Meyer said after signing 25 players in what many experts have termed a class that is top-5 in the country. “But instead of waiting for that to come, we went after it. We were extremely pro-active.” Despite a 2012 bowl ban, NCAA probation and recruiting limitations, the forced resignation of Jim Tressel and the most losses (seven) for the Buckeyes since 1897, Meyer’s first recruiting class was an unqualified success. The headline-grabbing position was the defensive line, particularly end, where the Buckeyes locked up Adolphus Washington (6-foot-4, 230 pounds from Cincinnati), Noah Spence (6-4, 245 out of Harrisburg, Pa.) and Se’von Pittman (6-4, 260 from McKinley High in Canton, Ohio).
“I call them the prize of the recruiting class,” said Meyer, who won two national championships in six seasons at Florida before working last year for ESPN while sorting through health concerns. Spence ended up in Columbus despite verbally committing to Penn State — one of four Ohio State recruits who switched allegiance from the Nittany Lions — while Pittman initially indicated he would go to Michigan State. Two others started out by committing to Notre Dame and another to Wisconsin, yet all ended up teammates under Meyer. “It’s always going to start up front,” said Luke Fickell, defensive coordinator and linebackers coach and last year’s interim coach. “If you’re going to start a class, it’s up front, whether it’s on the offensive or defensive line. The excitement starts there.” Those three signings got the attention of national recruiting observers. “As with any class at this level, there is a lot to be ex-

and put them in. We have to find those matchups again no matter what defense they’re in. And it’s especially important for us to get to the hole. When we settle for the outside shot, rely on it, we get ourselves in a lot of trouble.” On Saturday, the Jackets take on West Carrollton and Snyder knows one player the Jackets will have to watch and that’s Connor Myslowski, who scored 40 against them last season. He’s averaging 13.6 and is one of three Pirates in double figures. Drew Layton leads with a 15.6 average and Randy Stites is at 13.2. “The thing that impresses me most about them is they are one of the best you’ll see at moving the ball on offense,” Snyder said. “They cut hard, come off screens well, and are so well-schooled in how they run their offense. It will really be a challenge guarding them.”

cited about, but the defensive line stands out as being special,” said Scott Kennedy, director of scouting and recruiting for Scout.com. Meyer also grabbed top running back prospect Bri’onte Dunn and big offensive linemen Taylor Decker (68, 315) and Kyle Dodson (6-6, 310). The Buckeyes didn’t get everybody they wanted, however. The player considered by some as the best in the state, offensive lineman Kyle Kalis of Lakewood St. Edward, withdrew his original commitment to Ohio State during the middle of the school’s NCAA problems and decided on rival Michigan. On Wednesday, Wolverines coach Brady Hoke called Kalis “a road grader.” In addition, Ohio State only signed one quarterback —former Cleveland Glenville signal-caller Cardale Jones, who spent last year at Fork Union (Va.) Military Academy.

Winners of two in a row to up their record to 8-6, the Lehman Cavaliers face a challenging weekend that will begin with a different kind of game Friday night. The Cavaliers host Troy Christian, which comes into the game with an 11-3 mark. The contest will be a “throwback” game, starting with the venue. It will be played in the Jerry DeLong Gym, the old gym at the school. The players will be wearing throwback uniforms and the coaches and fans are encouraged to dress as they did back in the ’70s and ’80s. “I love it,” said Lehman coach Isaiah Williams when asked about playing in the old gym at the school. “When I first came here, I thought, we have to play some games in there. That gym just reminds me of “Hoosiers,” with a standing room only crowd. If we could play more games there, I’d love it. We have some older jerseys and there are some short shorts for this week.” When asked what his attire would be, Williams said “I think I have a butterfly collar somewhere,” he said. “But I’m not sure what I should wear. I wasn’t even born back in the ’70s.” He’s got more important things to think about than his attire, anyway. The Eagles come in with a good record, and on Saturday the Cavaliers travel to Springfield Catholic to face the 10-3 Irish. So it’s a challenging weekend that awaits. Lehman has been enjoying a lengthy layoff, not having played since beating Fort Loramie Tuesday of last week. “I think it’s a good situation,” Williams said. “Having 10 days off, it just lets us get healed and get better. We’re getting there. We’re very close.” See CAVS/Page 18

able to play through those things.” The Tigers now turn their attention to Botkins coming in Friday. “The County is a bear this year and we were hoping we could put ourselves in a position to challenge,” he said. “I’m glad we’re playing Botkins. There won’t be a letdown because we know what Botkins brings, and it won’t be tough to motivate our kids.”
Fairlawn The Jets lost Tuesday at home to Fort Loramie, but it was a noteworthy game because of the return of junior Anthony Gillem. The area’s scoring leader last season, he was averaging just under 21 per game when he suffered a broken wrist just six games into the season. Coach Derek Alexander was hoping to have him back by tournament time, but he got the green light last week. He didn’t play until Tuesday, and celebrated his return with 12 points against Fort Loramie, the team he injured his wrist against. “Getting Anthony back is great,” said Alexander. “He’s not 100 percent, but he’s still definitely a threat for us. And he’ll get back in shape quick game enough. “It’s going to take some adjusting again,” he continued. “We had some kids that were forced to fill in, so we have to re-acclimate to Anthony being back.” The Jets not only got Gillem back, but also post player Cole Cummings, who’s been battling illness of late. So they are just about at full strength for the first time since December.
Anna The streak continued on the road Tuesday for the Rockets, who won at Houston for their seventh straight. “We were hoping we could pull away, but Houston really battled back,” said Anna coach Nate Barhorst. “We had some key turnovers and got a little careless, and Houston took advantage. But going to Houston and getting a win is never easy, so we felt it was a good accomplishment.” The Rockets have the seven wins in a row, but Barhorst thinks the game against Russia Friday night might be the toughest opponent his team has faced in this stretch. “I would say this is a marquee game for us,” he said. “It will truly tell us where we’re at right now, give us an understanding of how far we’ve come. It will be a great challenge for our kids. “Russia has lost two in a row so we know they’re going to come in here with their guns loaded,” he added. “We’re going to have to be on top of our game.” The Rockets no doubt remember the first
meeting of the two, at Russia. The Rockets scored the game’s first 12 points and led by as many as 16 in the first half. But the Raiders rallied back to win 64-55. “They have good balance with (Brandon) Wilson inside and the guards like (Treg) Francis and (Bryce) Rittenhouse. And we’re going to have to know where (Corey) Bremigan is because he’s the one who hurt us the most the first time we played them.” Bremigan came off the bench to score 14 points, 11 in the fourth quarter of that game.
Houston The Wildcats made a gallant comeback, but came up short to Anna Tuesday. Now coach John Willoughby takes his team up against a team he says is similar to his own, the Fort Loramie Redskins Friday night on the road. “They’re a lot like us,” said Willoughby. “Both teams play hard, but just have a tough time scoring. Maybe the first team to 25 will win.” The Wildcats are 5-10 and the Redskins 4-12 on the season. “They’re big inside and I’m sure they’ll try to pound it in there,” he said. “Anna did a lot of that Tuesday and I’m sure Fort Loramie will try to do the same thing.” Willoughby has said most of the season that his team is playing hard and doing the right things. But a mistake here and there is costing them. “We’ve played some very good teams and we’ve played them tough,” he said. “But we’re still not doing what we need to do to get the rewards.”
Russia The Raiders had to be drained emotionally after Tuesday night’s game with league-leading Jackson Center. It was the third night the straight Raiders played a big game, starting with the come-from-behind win at Botkins Friday. Sandwiched in between those two was a 77-74 loss to rival Versailles on Saturday. So they head into Friday’s game at red-hot Anna on a two-game losing streak. “It’s a tough stretch, but we went through it in December, with a lot of close games, and came through it okay,” he said. “Tuesday we played from behind most of the game and had to take some chances and gamble a bit more than you should. And Jackson did a good job of taking care of the ball, and defended well. We weren’t patient enough. We let their pressure dictate what we were going to do on offense.” The Raiders will try to bring the Anna Rockets back to earth Friday at Anna. The Rockets have reeled off seven consecutive victories, and had the Raiders in a big hole when the two met back in December, leading by as many as 16
CAVS “Coaches are never satisfied, but I think they’re finally understanding what we’re trying to do. “We’re playing well. We just need to be consistent,” he added. “Michael Jacob is probably our most consistent player, and we need the other kids to work on that.” The Eagles are
in the first half. But Russia rallied to win it. “Anna is playing well and it’s always a good atmosphere over there,” he said. “We have to shore up some things that we didn’t do real well our last three games. We broke down defensively some, and took some bad shots.”
Botkins The Trojans took Russia to the final seconds before losing a thriller Friday, and coach Brett Meyer hopes his team can carry that effort into this weekend’s games. The Trojans face a challenging weekend, traveling to unbeaten Jackson Center Friday and then hosting 9-4 New Bremen on Saturday. “I thought we played well the entire time last week and that’s a good sign,” he said. “We just need to work on the little things down the stretch to finish games off. “It’s definitely a challenge this week,” he added. “It will really show us where we’re at and what we need to work on to finish out the regular season.” His main focus is on Jackson Center. “The last time we played the, they scored 21 in the first quarter and pretty much stayed eight or 10 ahead the rest of the way,” he said. “Trey Elchert hurt us in the first quarter and he’s definitely a concern. Jackson Center does such a good job of holding the lead once they get it. They don’t give it back to you. They’re pretty solid everywhere and they don’t make mistakes. So you have tolimit your mistakes and make every possession count.”
Fort Loramie The Redskins got their fourth win of the season Tuesday night, beating the Fairlawn Jets. “I thought we played well in what had to be an uplifting environment for Fairlawn,” said Loramie coach Karl Ratermann, in reference to the Jets getting scoring phenom Anthony Gillem back in the lineup after an extended absence due to a wrist injury. “It was a big boost to Fairlawn’s overall confidence and energy level. They played well and we had to play well and play hard to get a win.” The Redskins are just 4-12, but Ratermann is sold on his players. “The encouraging thing is we’re still taking charges, still rebounding well... playing hard,” he said. “Jared Albers came off the bench and really played well, and Seth Guillozet broke out offensively. He’s still trying to feel his way around being a scorer. It’s good to see, because he really works hard.” The Redskins host Houston Friday. “Houston has strong guards and their post play with (Ryan) Curl and (Jesse) Phlipot is as good as anybody’s,” he said. “I’m looking forward to a real tough game.”
From Page 17 coached by Ray Zawadski Jr., the son of the legendary former Vandalia-Butler head coach. “We’ve seen them play, and they’re a pretty good team,” said Williams. “They don’t have the numbers we have so hopefully we can use that to our advantage. We don’t know a lot about Springfield
Catholic, but they will play man and zone against us, so we have to be ready. They’re going to be fundamentally sound.” Williams was glad to see Tharon Goins back on the practice floor. He scored 18 two games ago in Lehman’s win over Sidney, but a bad ankle kept him our of the Fort Loramie game.

A big challenge for Minster Former Sidney AD MINSTER — The Minster Wildcats, winners of two in a row, may have the most challenging schedule of any small school basketball team in Ohio this week. The Wildcats, who evened their record at 77 with a sweep of weekend games, play at 12-2 Versailles Friday, then travel to Jackson Center, the No. 3-ranked team in Ohio, on Saturday. “Naturally, it’s one game at a time, but we definitely have our work cut out for us,” said longtime Minster coach Mike Lee.“This is a situation we started addressing to our kids, and we told them, why not have that kind of
OHIO
a challenge this time of year? We’re getting close to the second season.” Versailles bounced back Saturday night to beat Russia by three, but even that probably didn’t take the sting out of Friday’s loss at Delphos St. John’s. The Tigers had leads of 27-9 and 34-17, but wound up losing to the Blue Jays in a key Midwest Athletic Conference game. “Versailles is very, very athletic and that’s the first thing that you notice when you see them play,” Lee said. “And they can put five kids on the floor that can flat out score. It’s like watching a track meet. They’re leading our
conference offensively, and that’s a concern. We have to be able to defend them.” Lee is still concerned about his team’s offensive inconsistencies. “It’s spread out over a couple of quarters, and that’s where we run into problems,” Lee said. “You can’t go that long at this level and not put the ball in the hole. We have to be able to shoot better than we have this season. Friday we played a Coldwater team that’s struggling offensively, but we were much more defensively solid throughout the game. And we told the kids, just go on the road (Satur-
day) and lay it on the line against a petty athletic Wapakoneta team. We got very good guard play Saturday, especially from Adam Niemeyer, who has really stepped up.” Niemeyer finished with 24 in that game. On Saturday, the Wildcats meet the No. 3ranked Jackson Center Tigers. “There’s another situation where they put a lot of kids on the floor that can score,” said Lee. “The Hoying kid (Andy) is just a handful around the basket, and you put him with kids that can score from any place on the floor. And they’re very solid at the defensive end.”

BUCKS The new coaching staff will have just four scholarship quarterbacks on the roster for the 2012 season, although one is Braxton Miller who started almost all of the 2011 season that finished 6-7. Still, it was a surprising bumper crop, particularly since the recruiting class ranked somewhere between 15 and 25 in the nation in most publications’ evaluations before Meyer was hired on Nov. 29. Ohio State is serving three years of NCAAmandated probation for failing to monitor Tressel, who played ineligible players during the 2010 season who had taken cash and discounted tattoos from the subject of a federal drug-trafficking probe.

OHIO STATE football coach Urban Meyer exits following national signing day on Wednesday in Columbus. three football scholarships each of the next three years. The 25 signees put the
Buckeyes at 81, according to Meyer. Six of the players who signed Wednesday count against last year’s recruit total, plus Meyer hinted that other players may have dropped out, transferred or will not play due to medical reasons. Many people who follow recruiting closely were stunned by Ohio State’s success. “It’s been an amazing performance by Urban Meyer who has re-emphasized his ability to attract elite, national championship-caliber talent,” said Allen Wallace, national editor for SuperPrep.com. “This class is strong across the board and from (my) perspective, the best Buckeye recruiting effort in the last 10 years.” Meyer repeatedly tried to rein in some of the hype about the in-
coming class and his role in bringing it in. “I keep hearing this is a top 5, top 3, top 10 class,” he said. “That doesn’t’ mean much to me. What really matters is what happens two, three years from now.” Ohio State handed out only four-year scholarships as part of a Big Ten initiative to meet terms of the new fouryear rule (as opposed to the previous standard one-year agreement) established recently by the NCAA. Kennedy expressed surprise at how big a year Meyer and Ohio State had. “I’ve had to add an exception to the rule that it takes a full year for a new coach to make an impact,” he said. “Urban Meyer’s impact at Ohio State this quickly has been unprecedented.”

Friday night’s broadcast will Wisconsin coach be the 2,500th for Kramer grumbles about ScoresBroadcast.com announcer Jack Kramer laughs when he says his game total might approach three or four thousand if he counted the ones he described while playing make-believe contests in his backyard as a kid. Still, he performs play-by-play of what his family believes to be his 2500th athletic event this Friday night when Anna hosts Russia in Shelby County League boys basketball. January 2012 marked the start of Kramer’s fifth decade announcing college and high school sports. “An enduring throat, a lot of luck, encouragement from Shelby County fans, a supportive family, and parents who gave me the chance to express myself ” are the “gifts” which Kramer said have enabled him to fulfill this unique “avocation.” It was not unusual for Jack, as a child, to keep his neighbors awake on summer nights when he vocalized about games he “created” in his sandbox. “Mom and Dad often exclaimed from the back porch, ‘Jack, every play can’t be that exciting,’” he recalled. The 2,500 include close to 150 Ohio State University (OSU) football contests, plus Indiana (IU) and Miami University football and basketball games. He covered the Redskins and the Middletown Middies while in graduate school in Oxford, Ohio, and when employed at a Butler County radio station, which offered him his first job. While completing his
Jack Kramer bachelor’s degree, he volunteered on the IU Sports Network. From 1980 to 1992, he performed television playby-play with OSU great Paul Warfield for flagship station WOSU-TV, which fed the Buckeyes games around the state to a dozen PBS stations. Kramer’s wife and two children began keeping close count of his announcing stints when he started calling Buckeyes contests. “They kidded me when we tuned in the delayed telecasts together,” he chuckled. “My mustache was never trimmed quite right.” Wife Karen and son Tim were in the stands at Russia last Saturday for the thriller between the Raiders and Versailles Tigers. They listened closely to the exciting Russia-Botkins contest last Friday. In the 1980’s, they and daughter Bethany started traveling with Jack to some of the college and high school events he covered. At about that time, Kramer began describing basketball games on WPTW-AM in Piqua for
Edison Community College. He was employed at Edison as director of marketing and public relations for 25 years to the day, retiring on August 31, 2010. He previously served nine years in a similar capacity at Clark Tech, now Clark State. From the early 1990’s through 2000, Kramer was on the air at WTGRFM in Greenville covering contests involving high school sports teams representing the Versailles Tigers and Winchester, Indiana. From 2003 to November 2007, he free-lanced for WMVR-FM in Sidney with Jeff Bray, his color announcer. Jack is currently in his sixth calendar year calling games for ScoresBroadcast.com on the Internet. In fact, he has now covered nearly 750 football, baseball, volleyball, soccer, and boys and girls basketball contests in which Shelby County high schools have participated. “Jeff for several years and Chuck McBee for the last two years have been super announcing partners,” Kramer said. “We are good friends on and off the air. We have all shared the same passion and carried out our roles with the best interest of the schools and student athletes in mind.” That “passion,” he said, is the desire to continually promote area student athletes, their educational programs, and those businesses that support the webcasts. “Our quality schools and community-minded organizations make the region a very good place to live, work and raise families,” Kramer said.
An average athlete in high school, Jack played tennis and once upset the top seed in a city tournament covered by the local newspaper. He said his opponent had an off day, allowing him to take a close three-set victory triggered, in part, by unforced errors on the other side of the net. Kramer said it was a of “my highlight mediocre years in high school sports” to read the journalist’s statement, “Kramer won the match; Mike Miller didn’t lose it.” According to Jack, this is the objective when describing Shelby County high school sports on the Internet. “A superb play often causes a poor one. Chuck and I want to promote the local student athletes who excel,” he said. Supportive game advertisers, in fact, request that the announcers feature the scholarships the sponsors offer, spotlight the athletes whom the schools report are student leaders, and award small, sponsor-provided gift certificates for food to the young men and women who are successful on the court and field. “You could say that ScoresBroadcast.com is a total team effort,” Kramer said, adding that listenership per webcast has soared to more than 800 users of computers and mobile devices. “The response makes this Friday’s game and those in the future so enjoyable.” Are 2500 more contests in Jack’s plans? “Maybe so, if you count those in my dreams,” he smiled.
Lady Jackets fall to Vandalia VANDALIA – The Sidney High girls couldn’t overcome a two-point second quarter and lost 43-28 to Vandalia in Greater Western Ohio Conference North Division basketball action here Wednesday. The Lady Jackets are left with a 2-14 record

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Wisconsin coach Bret Bielema unveiled a 1 2 - p l ay e r recruiting c l a s s Wednesday was and a s k e d whether he had noticed Bielema a n y changes in recruiting in a Big Ten with new coach Urban Meyer now in charge at Ohio State. Turns out, the answer is yes. “There’s a few things that happened early on I made people be aware of that I didn’t want to see in this league that I had seen take place at other leagues,” Bielema said. “Other recruiting tactics, other recruiting practices that are illegal. I was very up front and was very poignant to the fact. I actually reached out to Coach Meyer and shared my thoughts and concerns with him and the situation got rectified.” Bielema didn’t disclose any details, though he had more to say about his conversation with Meyer. He said Meyer asked him: “You know what the difference between the Big Ten and our conference is? I said, ‘No’, and he said, ‘In the Big Ten, everybody tells on everybody. In our conference nobody tells on anybody.’ “And that made a huge comment to me,” Bielema said. “I’ve been very cognizant of that. I encouraged our coaches
to play by the books, to do things a certain way.” The Buckeyes visit Wisconsin on Nov. 17, and there’s no telling whether the two coaches will talk more in the meantime. Bielema lost six assistant coaches in the offseason while trying to land the recruiting class for the two-time defending Big Ten champions coming off an 11-3 season and their second straight trip to the Rose Bowl. Besides the 12 players signed to letters of intent, seven others received preferred walkon offers. “It was a blessing in disguise that it was a small class,” said Bielema, who lost offensive coordinator Paul Chryst among others. “We’re a relatively young football team. There really wasn’t a lot of really huge numbers. If you were dealing with a class of 22 to 23, it would have been a challenge.” Two players who gave commitments verbal signed with other programs, including 6-foot-6 offensive tackle Kyle Dodson, an Ohio native who signed with Ohio State. “Obviously there are two guys that at one point or another were committed to us, but in the end, they weren’t really committed to us,” Bielema said. “They were just a spot on the wall with a name and a scholarship next to them. But we transitioned, made due and still got some things out there.”
Michigan whips Indiana ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) — Trey Burke scored 18 points, and No. 23 Michigan raced to a 20-point first-half lead before holding on for a 68-56 victory over No. 20 Indiana on Wednesday night. The Wolverines (17-6, 7-3 Big Ten) remained unbeaten at home. They got off to a quick start after last weekend’s loss at No. 3 Ohio State, scoring the first 13 points and eventually taking a
28-8 lead. Indiana (17-6, 5-6) twice fought back within two points in the second half, including at 52-50 with 3:20 remaining. Tim Hardaway Jr. hit a big 3-pointer for Michigan, and after Indiana’s Derek Elston missed the front end of a 1-and-1, Stu Douglass made a 3-pointer to put the Wolverines up by eight. Jordan Hulls scored 18 points for Indiana.
