The Big Game
Sidney native organizes Super Bowl Sunday for Indy BY KEN BARHORST kbarhorst@sdnccg.com Sidney native Andy Arnold is not a risk taker. But he knows an opportunity when he sees one. That’s why, in a little less than two months, he will be in the job market. Confused? Okay, if you Arnold asked the question, “what is the biggest sporting event of the year in this country?” chances are a healthy percentage of the respondents would reply “the Super Bowl.” And they would be correct. According to Wikipedia, Super Bowl Sunday is considered a de facto American national

the year. Imagine what it takes to prepare for such an event. Well, Arnold, a 1998 Lehman High School graduate who received his bachedegree in sports lor’s management from the University of Dayton, doesn’t have to imagine. He’s been living it for more than a year. Arnold is the Super Bowl Host Committee’s Director of Operations, so it’s safe to say he’s been a little busy lately. “It’s been really interesting,” Arnold said from Indianapolis, site of this year’s game. “There’s no way to anticipate it. You think about how busy you’re going to be, but having never done it before ... People can tell you about it, but until you experience it, you can’t know.” See ARNOLD/Page 19

FIREFIGHTERS WORK to extinguish a blaze at 5500 Cecil Road Thursday night. The home, owned by Dave and Jodi Siegel, was vacant at the time of the fire, as it had been for sale since June. The house was destroyed, and the loss is estimated at $135,000.
Fire destroys home BY JENNIFER BUMGARNER jbumgarner@sdnccg.com FORT LORAMIE — Firefighters from several communities responded to a two-alarm fire on Thursday night that destroyed a vacant home. Firefighters were dispatched to 5500 Cecil Road at 9:04 p.m. Fort Loramie Fire Chief Brad Schulze said the fire was pretty heavily involved by the time they arrived on the scene. “The neighbors saw the fire when it vented through the
roof,” Schulze said. “So the fire had a pretty good head start and by the time the first truck arrived on the scene it was pretty well engulfed.” The home had been for sale and was vacant at the time of the fire. The property was owned by Dave and Jodi Siegel. Jodi Siegel is the Shelby County Recorder. It had been for sale since June 10, 2011, and was listed for $134,000. According to Realtytrac.com the home had three bedrooms, two baths and was 1,560 square feet. The home is now a total loss with $135,000 in damage ac-
Hiring surges in January; jobless rate at 8.3% BY CHRISTOPHER S. RUGABER Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — In a long-awaited surge of hiring, companies added 243,000 jobs in January — across the economy, up and down the pay scale and far more than just about anyone expected. Unemployment fell to 8.3 per-
cent, the lowest in three years. The job growth was the fastest since last March and April. Before that, the last month with stronger hiring, excluding months skewed by temporary census jobs, was March 2006. The unemployment rate came down by two notches from December. It has fallen

Fort Loramie, Houston, Lockington, Minster, Russia, Osgood and Shelby County fire responded as well as the Versailles Life Squad and Houston Rescue. Deputies from the Shelby County Sheriff’s Office also responded and the Sidney Fire and Emergency Services investigation unit was called in to assist in the investigation.
With just over 33 years with the Sidney Department of Fire and Emergency Services, Deputy Chief Rick Simon said farewell Friday to a lifetime of service. Simon celebrated his 54th birthday on Simon Friday as he and the other members of the fire department — both current and retired — joined him for an open house at the station. He was presented with a retirement watch from Sidney Mayor Mike Barhorst. The department had a poignant flag ceremony and presented Simon with a flag that had flown over the firehouse during the day on Friday. “It is difficult to put into words the hard work and dedication Rick has shown this department,” said Chief Brad Jones. “His leadership and ability to work with people was a real asset and he will be sorely missed.” A graduate of Russia High School, Simon started with the department on Nov. 26, 1978. He became a paramedic See SIMON/Page 2

five months in a row, the first time that has happened since 1994, two economic booms and two recessions ago. “The economy is growing stronger,” President Barack Obama said. “The recovery is speeding up.” Indeed, the report Friday from the Labor Department seemed to reinforce that the nation is entering a virtuous
cycle, a reinforcing loop in which stronger hiring leads to more consumer spending, which leads to even more hiring and spending. On Wall Street, where investors had already driven stocks to their best start in 15 years because of optimism about the economy, the jobs report triggered a spasm of See HIRING/Page 7

Piquad helps secure Parents need enlightenment Indy for Super Bowl INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. — Piqua native Brian Francony, a police officer with the Indianapolis Police Department, has been getting an up close and personal look at the Super Bowl — and he says he is loving every minute of it. The 2003 graduate of Lehman Catholic High School is helping work the Super Bowl XLVI detail in the city in the days leading up to the big game on Sunday. Francony has served the city’s police department for two years following his graduation from Bowling Green State University in 2008, with a degree in criminal justice. He said loves his job, the city and everything that comes along with being a police officer. “It is the greatest job in the world,” he said. “I can’t imagine doing anything else.” When it was announced that police officers were being sought by the city to handle 10 days of Super Bowl security detail, Francony, an avid football fan who roots for the Pittsburgh Steelers, jumped at the once-in-alifetime opportunity. “I jumped on that as soon as I heard about it,” Francony said about working the Super Bowl. “It’s neat because I have already seen multiple celebrities and there are just so many people. It is

It has been breathtaking just being able to represent your city and to be a part of the biggest event in our city’s history. We have had nothing but great reviews from all of the out-oftown people. It’s just awesome to be a part of it.” Francony and his fellow officers have the specific detail of patroling the Super Bowl Village, which began Jan. 27 and runs through this Sunday’s Super Bowl game. Another Piquad, Peggy Henthorn, the regional manager of the Miami Valley Centre Mall, also is working at the the NFL Experience, which is being held in the village leading up to the game. Henthorn’s son graduated with Francony. The Indianapolis police officer said the crowds around the stadium are unlike anything he has ever witnessed. “It’s shoulder to shoulder,” Francony said. “We have already broken the
record (for most people attending the NFL Experience).” While Francony takes his job seriously, he says he can’t believe he has been given this unique opportunity to be associated with the Super Bowl and has been overwhelmed with the amount of celebrities and star athletes he has seen in the days leading up to the big game between the New England Patriots and the New York Giants. “I just keep telling myself that this is a once-ina-lifetime thing,” he said. “How often are you going to be able to tell your grandkids that you worked at the Super Bowl?” Lucas Oil Field, where the Super Bowl is being held, stands a good chance at perhaps becoming one of the stadiums in the Super Bowl rotation, and if that’s the case, Francony said he would jump at the chance to do it again in the future.

He said that the city will be inserting notices in residents’ water bills asking residents to register their cell phones so that they can be notified by the system if an emergency occurs. Burdiss reported that so far, only 500 residents have registered their cell phones. The EMA plans to send postcards to all residents to ask them to do so. Committee announcements included notices of upcoming hazmat trainings, of the local health department’s new emergency response plan and website, and of internal reorganization in the operations of the local Red Cross office.

of Lockington which last November approved its own 2.6-mill fire levy. Adams said the proposed levy, if approved, would cost the owner of a $75,000 home an additional $45.94 at a rate of 2.0 mill for each dollar of valuation or $62.25 for a home valued at $100,000. If the levy fails Adams said the fire department would be forced to look at reduced firefighter training, not replacing personal protective equipment, trucks in service more than 40 years and charging for all services (the department currently requests a donation after a structure fire to help reimburse costs incurred). The chief said the fire department’s operating costs during 2011 totaled $57,432.

Casino rules govern chip color, size, more BY THOMAS J. SHEERAN Associated Press CLEVELAND (AP) — Regulators of Ohio’s new casino industry have drafted enough rules to make a card counter dizzy — dictating the color and size of betting chips, how to handle background checks and who fixes slot machines. The more than 340 pages of nitty-gritty rules, many patterned on casino regulations in other states, will govern casinos planned in Cincinnati, Cleveland, Columbus and Toledo. “These are the rules that establish what the playbook is,” Matt Schuler, executive director of the Ohio Casino Control Commission, said Thursday. Rules adopted by the commission must go before a legislative com-
mittee with veto power. The rules span the array of casino gambling, licensing and oversight, some in exhaustive detail. For example, the rules will make it hard for gamblers to confuse a $1 chip in their pocket with a $25,000 chip. Each denomination must be color-coded. The chip lineup: $1 white, $2.50 pink, $5 red, $20 yellow, $25 green, $100 black, $500 purple, fire orange, $1,000 $5,000 grey, $10,000 burgundy and $25,000 blue. Following industry practice, there are no $10 chips. For the color-challenged, each chip also will have the denomination engraved or imprinted. In addition, chips worth $500 or less must be 39 millimeters across — about 1.5 inches — and those
worth more than $500 will be a bit bigger, 43 millimeters across or about 1.7 inches. The commission will leave it up to the casinos whether they will use every denomination. Cracked dice or broken chips? The commission has a regulation for that and likely will follow the industry practice of shredding. Casinos must notify where and when the items will be destroyed and make sure it’s done before two eyewitnesses from different casino departments. Many rules deal with licensing and deciding who will be allowed to work at a casino. Casino job applicants must pay a $250 licensing fee, but the casino operator will pay for background checks for application renewals. The rules make it clear who’s not welcome
in the casino employee ranks. The commission must consider factors including connections to mobsters and “other persons of disreputable character,” those with a bankruptcy in the last 10 years and those with unpaid taxes. On the positive side, good character, honesty and integrity are all factors the commission must consider in deciding who gets a license to work in a casino. Some people involved in casino work may never step into a gambling hall: the commission detailed rules for making sure slot machine repair crews working online from remote locations get a unique account to prevent hacking. “With many of these regulations there’s nothing new under the sun,” said Schuler, and many patterned on those from
other states were tweaked to reflect specific requirements of Ohio law. The industry sounded satisfied with the rulemaking. “We think the commission has done a terrific job, given the fact that it’s really only been in existence for less than a year,” said Bob Tenenbaum, spokesman for the Wyomissing, Pa.based Penn National Gaming Inc., which will casinos in operate Columbus and Toledo. Tenenbaum said the commission has allowed Penn to be involved in discussions about specific rules, explain how things are done in other states and offer opinions. While not every rule is what Penn would have wanted, that wasn’t expected, and Tenenbaum said the company is pleased that the casinos
will be regulated “adequately and aggressively.” Tenenbaum said each state has differing rules due to differing laws and policies. In Ohio, for example, a constitutional amendment prohibits indoor smoking in buildings, so its smoking is banned in state casinos. Overall, the rules are meant to assure fairness, Schuler said. “Casinos tend to be one of the most regulated industries in the world,” Schuler said. “When you’re moving billions of dollars through in the course of a year, there’s going to be controls on everything to insure fairness and integrity in the gaming process.” ___ Associated Press writer JoAnne Viviano in Columbus contributed to this report
State moves to Wendy’s has a beef with franchisee shut juvenile homes in 2 counties BY MATT VOLZ Associated Press
COLUMBUS (AP) — Ohio is moving to shut down 19 homes for troubled juveniles in two counties where investigators said they found signs of serious problems, such as youths left alone and children and employees who had been bitten by fleas from a dead raccoon, officials said. “There were enough problems at enough locations that our recomis to mendation terminate their license and close them all,” said Benjamin Johnson, a spokesman for the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services. The homes, all operated by the Columbus area company ViaQuest, are in Franklin and Lake counties and house 46 children in the custody of courts in seven counties. The state received the first major complaint about ViaQuest in 2004 when a 13-year-old boy drowned in the bathtub of a Columbus home, Johnson told The Columbus Dispatch. That facility was closed, but the company was allowed to remain in operation. However, when ViaQuest came up for recertification from the state, officials received
17 complaints, and a subsequent investigation found 62 separate issues, the newspaper reported. Besides the flea bites, other findings included that: children were unsupervised inside one home during a walkthrough and outside other homes where they had been dropped off and had to wait because doors were locked or no employees were around; a girl’s leg was run over when she fell off the hood of a car; children taken to an offsite cookout against company policy were drinking, and one got drunk and smoked pot; and homes were in disrepair, with one leaking water and urine from an upstairs bathroom into the kitchen below. ViaQuest President Richard Johnson said the company would try to keep the homes open by appealing the state’s decision. He acknowledged that there were problems but said state budget cuts have left the facilities dealing with children with more complex needs who might previously have been locked away in more secure centers.

HELENA, Mont. (AP) — Wendy’s International has a beef with a franchisee that owns 11 fastfood restaurants in Montana, Oregon and Washington. The Dublin, Ohiobased corporation last month asked a federal judge for an injunction to keep BZB Enterprises from using its brand. Wendy’s said in its Jan. 20 complaint that the Havre, Mont.-based franchisee has ignored demands to comply with Wendy’s standards after food-safety concerns were raised at several of its restaurants. Wendy’s previously terminated the franchise agreements for six of the restaurants, but BZB Enterprises and the
owners named in the lawsuit “boldly continue to operate the restaurants with complete disregard for the critical food safety concerns raised in the audits,” the complaint reads. For example, a 2008 audit of the Wendy’s restaurant in Havre found 265 food safety issues ranging from unclean preparation equipment to employees not washing their hands. Another audit in 2010 found 111 deficiencies, most relating to cleanliness and food safety, which weren’t corrected in follow-up audits, prompting Wendy’s to terminate the franchise agreement in November. The corporation said breaches of the franchise agreement were also found at Wendy’s restaurants in Whitefish,
Mont.; Pendleton, Ore.; Kennewick, Wash.; and two restaurants in Yakima, Wash. BZB Enterprises attorney John Quatman, of Whitefish, said Friday that the restaurants’ owners are working with Wendy’s and hope to have the matter resolved before U.S. District Judge Sam Haddon, of Great Falls, has to rule on the injunction request. “Wendy’s has a brand and it’s a brand they want to protect. They want all their shops to be shining stars, so they can compete with other fastfood franchises, and that’s what we’re striving to do,” Quatman said. BZB Enterprises has closed all six of the restaurants cited by the corporation in the complaint, plus one in Walla Walla, Wash. Quatman
said BZB Enterprises will determine which of those restaurants will remain closed for good and which will reopen and then work with Wendy’s to renovate them one by one. There are a lot of items that need to be repaired, but all the issues raised by Wendy’s inspectors in their audits will be addressed, Quatman said. The franchisee’s four other restaurants — in Richland, Wash.; Pasco, Wash.; Lagrande, Ore.; and another one in Kennewick — will remain open while renovations are being made, he said. BZB Enterprises must respond to Wendy’s injunction request by March, but Quatman said he believes the issue will be resolved by then.
Quincy Council reviews levy QUINCY — Quincy Council members were presented with a proof of the levy being placed on the March 6 ballot during a recent meeting. This levy replaces the 2-mill operating levy defeated in the November 2011 General Election. It will generate approximately $11,000 in place for many years for operation of the General Fund. This is not new money but a renewing of money that was previously in place for many years. Council decided to prepare a flier to go to each residence with information about what the funds are used for and the actual need for operating the village. They discussed also holding a town hall meeting, inviting fire and rescue personnel and business owners. Council was informed of the consolidation of Miami Township and village of Quincy polling place. The new title will be Miami Township and the voting location will remain at the Quincy
Community building. Postcards have been mailed by the Logan County Board of Elections notifying residents of the change. Delinquent utility user accounts were reviewed. Council will no longer accept a partial payment to keep utilities on. If an account is delinquent by the due date, which is the last day of each month, a partial payment will be accepted but will not bind service. Once the account goes on the shutoff list on the last day of each month the only way to keep service on will be to pay the balance in full. Partial payments can be set up in very special circumstances but only with approval of Council. Council noted that several accounts remain on the list each month by only paying enough to keep the account under the shut off amount. If service is terminated a $25 reconnect will be mandatory. The utility accounts have a 10-day grace period for out of town accounts
only. All accounts on the delinquent list with a balance more than $132 were approved for immediate shut off. The Joint Sewer Board has approved advertising for a part-time Class II Sewer Plant Operator. Resumes for the position will be accepted until Monday at 7 p.m. An advertisement will be placed for two weeks in local papers and on a utility website called O.T.C.O. Contact 5855314 with questions. A review of several properties with trash and debris being stored at their residence were addressed. The Logan County Health Department has been made aware of the situation and will be addressing property owners regarding the matter. Council wished to remind citizens that it is a property owners responsibility to provide trash collection and it is against village ordinances to store trash bags with trash on properties. The Joint Sewer Board has changed the date of its meetings to

NATION/WORLD BRIEFLY
Komen reverses funding cuts NEW YORK (AP) — For leaders of the nation’s preeminent breast-cancer charity, it was a firestorm they didn’t see coming — and couldn’t withstand. Susan G. Komen for the Cure on Friday abandoned plans to eliminate funding for Planned Parenthood. The dramatic retreat followed a three-day furor that resounded across the Internet, in Congress and — perhaps most tellingly — among Komen affiliates who openly rebelled, suggesting the leadership had bowed to anti-abortion pressure. “We want to apologize to the American public for recent decisions that cast doubt upon our commitment to our mission of saving women’s lives,” a Komen statement said. As first reported by The Associated Press on Tuesday, Komen had adopted criteria excluding Planned Parenthood from future grants for breast-cancer screenings because it was under government investigation, citing a probe launched by a Florida congressman at the urging of anti-abortion groups.
No doping charges LOS ANGELES (AP) — Federal prosecutors dropped their investigation of Lance Armstrong on Friday, ending a nearly two-year effort aimed at determining whether the seven-time Tour de France winner and his teammates participated in a doping program. Armstrong has steadfastly denied he doped during his unparalleled career, but the possibility of criminal charges threatened to stain his legacy as the world’s greatest cyclist and could have cast a shadow over his cancer charity work. “This is great news,” Armstrong attorney Mark Fabiani said in a statement. “Lance is pleased that the United States Attorney made the right decision, and he is more determined than ever to devote his time and energy to Livestrong and to the causes that have defined his career.”

Pet elk can’t go home ALEPPO, Pa. (AP) — A runaway elk can’t go home to Pennsylvania, even if it wanted to. More than a year after the 3-year-old elk escaped from his paddock, he’s being denied re-entry to the state from West Virginia. George and Sharon Richter want the animal back but state officials say they’re worried it could be infected with chronic wasting disease, a highly contagious and fatal neurological disease. So far, the disease hasn’t been found in Pennsylvania. The only test for the disease involves killing the animal. The Richters tell the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette the elk and two others escaped their Aleppo, Greene County, farm when a gate was left unlocked. One elk eventually returned but the other hasn’t been found. Officials say the elk is currently being fed by residents in the area of Pleasant Valley, W.Va.

FBI, Scotland Yard call hacked BY RAPHAEL SATTER Associated Press LONDON (AP) — They trade jokes, chuckle and talk shop about a hacker plot called “Project Mayhem.” But at the heart of the conference call between the FBI and Scotland Yard was a strategy aimed at bringing down the hacking collective known as Anonymous, which has launched a series of embarrassing attacks across the Internet. Unfortunately for the cyber sleuths, the hackers were listening, too — and now so is the rest of the world. Anonymous published the roughly 15-minute-long recording of the call to the Internet early Wednesday, gloating in a Twitter message that “the FBI might be curious how we’re able to continuously read their internal comms for some time now.” The FBI said the information “was intended for law enforcement officers only and was illegally obtained” but that no FBI systems were breached. It added that “a criminal investigation is under way to identify and hold accountable those responsible.” It’s not entirely clear how the hackers got their hands on the recording, which appears to have been edited to bleep out the names of some of the suspects being discussed.
Amid the material published by Anonymous was an email purportedly sent by an FBI agent to international law enforcement agencies. It invites his foreign counterparts to join the call to “discuss the ongoing investigations related to Anonymous … and other associated splinter groups” on Jan. 17 at 4 p.m. The message — addressed to law enforcement officials in the U.K., Ireland, the Netherlands, Sweden and France — contained a phone number and password for accessing the call. A law enforcement official, speaking on condition of anonymity because the matter is under investigation, told The Associated Press that authorities were looking at the possibility that the message was intercepted after a private email account of one of the invited participants was compromised. Graham Cluley, an expert with data security company Sophos, said that knowing the time, telephone number and passcode for the call meant it was all too easy to spy on the investigators. “Even my ironing lady could have rung in and silently listened to the call just like Anonymous did,” Cluley said in an email, calling the fiasco “highly embarrassing for the cops.”
Scotland Yard said that they had seen no immediate information that their operations had been compromised — but the discussions appear to be sensitive. Amid jokes about a teenage hacking suspect and lighthearted banter about McDonalds, the investigators seem to discuss whether to delay the arrest of two hacking suspects in order to give the FBI more time to pursue its side of the investigation. Updates are given on the status of inquiries stretching from Los Angeles to Baltimore to England’s West Midlands and Ireland, with one member of Scotland Yard’s central ecrime unit telling the FBI that British police had recently arrested a 15-year-old they might be interested in with relation to a recent breach at U.S. videogame company Valve Corp. “Yeah that’s fantastic,” an FBI official says in response. “We actually do have a pending investigation looking into that compromise.” An email to the FBI official leading the call was not immediately returned, while the e-Crime investigator referred questions to Scotland Yard’s press office. The press office confirmed that it had someone on the call but said it would be making no further comment. Most sensitive appears to be discussion of what legal
strategy to pursue in the cases of Ryan Cleary and Jake Davis — two British suspects linked to Anonymous. The U.K. police official on the call said that prosecutors were secretly going to court to delay procedures in order to give FBI more time to do more work on a related case. When the FBI official thanks his U.K. counterpart for the favor, the Briton says cheerily: “We’re here to help!” Karen Todner, a lawyer for Cleary, said that the recording could be “incredibly sensitive” and warned that such data breaches had the potential to derail the police’s work. “If they haven’t secured their email it could potentially prejudice the investigation,” she told the AP. The breach is likely to act as a wakeup call to law enforcement agencies globally, said Marcus Carey, who spent years securing communications for the NSA before joining security-risk assessment firm Rapid7. “A law enforcement agency using unencrypted, unsecure communications is a major fumble,” Carey said. “What if this event was talking about some terrorist plot to blow up something and ‘they’ were listening in? It could’ve been much worse if it was related to an al-Qaida plot or something … So this is a lesson learned.”
200 dead in government assault BY ELIZABETH A. KENNEDY Associated Press BEIRUT (AP) — In a barrage of shelling, Syrian forces killed 200 people and wounded hundreds early Saturday in Homs in an offensive that appears to be the bloodiest episode in the nearly 11month-old uprising, activists said. The offensive was reported in Homs, which has been one of the main flashpoints of opposition to the regime during the uprising against President Bashar Assad. Two main opposition groups, the British-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights and the Local Coordination Committees, said the death toll was more than 200 people. More than half of the killings — about 140 — were
reported in the Khaldiyeh neighborhood. “This is the worst attack of the uprising, since the uprising began in March until now,” said Rami Abdul-Rahman, the head of the Observatory, which tracks violence through contacts on the ground. The reports could not be independently confirmed. It was not immediately clear what precipitated the attack, but there have been reports that army defectors set up checkpoints in the area and were trying to consolidate control. Assad is trying to crush the revolt with a sweeping crackdown that has so far claimed thousands of lives, but neither the government nor the protesters are backing down and clashes between the military and an increasingly bold and
armed opposition has meant many parts of the country have seen relentless violence. The U.N. Security Council meeting later Saturday was to take up a much-negotiated resolution on Syria. A diplomat for a Western nation that sits on the council said the meeting would happen Saturday morning. The diplomat spoke Friday on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to be quoted by the press. The move toward a vote came after Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton spoke by telephone with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov in an effort to overcome Russian opposition to any statement that explicitly calls for regime change or a military intervention in Syria. The U.S. and its partners have ruled out military action
HIRING buying. The Dow Jones industrial average climbed 156.82 points, its second-best showing this year, and finished the day at 12,862.23, its highest close since May 2008, four months before the financial crisis struck. The Nasdaq composite index finished at its highest level since December 2000, during a steep decline after the dot-com stock craze. Money poured out of bonds, which are considered less risky than stocks, and bond yields rose. “Virtually every economist on the planet had expected a drop in the rate of job gains in January, which makes today’s upward surprise even more surprising,” Dan Greenhaus, chief global strategist at the brokerage BTIG, said in a note to clients. In December, 203,000 jobs were created. The impressive jobs report reverberated through the presidential campaign and could improve Obama’s reelection prospects. The drop in the unemployment rate put it exactly where it was in February 2009, the month after Obama took office. In Arlington, Va., the president argued that now was no time to let a 2-percentagepoint cut in the Social Security payroll tax expire, as it will if Congress doesn’t take action by the end of the month. The tax cut reaches 160 million Americans. Of the economic recovery, he said: “We’ve got to do everything in our power to keep it going. We can’t go back
but want the global body to endorse an Arab League plan that calls on Assad to hand power over to Syria’s vice president. Clinton called Lavrov while flying Friday to Munich for a security conference that both are attending, State Department spokesman Mark Toner said. He said Clinton and Lavrov agreed to have American and Russian diplomats continue work on a Syria resolution and were planning to meet for more talks in the German city over the weekend. Russia’s deputy foreign minister, Gennady Gatilov, said Friday that Moscow could not support the resolution in its current form. But he expressed optimism that an agreement could be reached, according to state news agency RIA Novosti.
From Page 1 to the policies that led to the recession, and we can’t let Washington stand in the way of the recovery.” His Republican foes used the numbers to argue that the pace of improvement was not good enough. “We can do better,” said former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, the Republican frontrunner. “These numbers cannot hide the fact that President Obama’s policies have prevented a true economic recovery.” Unemployment was 6.8 percent when Obama was elected, 7.8 percent when he was sworn in and 10 percent, its recent peak, nine months later. No president since World War II has won re-election with unemployment higher than 7.2 percent. The job gains in January were widespread. The 243,000 jobs added far exceeded the estimate by economists of 155,000, according to FactSet, a provider of financial data. Some surveys of economists came in even lower. Government revisions to previous months’ totals were another encouraging sign. Hiring was stronger in November and December by 60,000 jobs than first estimated. November was revised up from 100,000 to 157,000 and December from 200,000 to 203,000. The government also issued its annual revisions to jobs data going back five years. They showed that hiring was stronger over the past two years than previously
thought. The economy added about 1.82 million jobs last year, compared with an original estimate of 1.64 million. “This is a very positive employment report from almost any angle,” said Brian Bethune, an economics professor at Amherst College. The government uses a survey of mostly large companies and government agencies to determine how many jobs were added or lost each month. That survey produced the 243,000 number. It uses a separate survey of households to determine the unemployment rate. The household survey had more good news: 631,000 people said they found work in January. That pushed the unemployment rate down to 8.3 percent and the number of unemployed down to 12.8 million, the fewest in three years. And 250,000 people streamed back into the work force and started looking for jobs. That increased slightly the size of the work force, which the government defines as people working and people unemployed but seeking work. At the same time, the proportion of the population working or looking for work is its lowest in almost three decades. The length and depth of the recession have discouraged millions of people from looking for jobs. The better news of the past couple months has not yet encouraged most of them to start searching again. Economists said the report probably makes it less likely
that the Federal Reserve will take additional steps to help the economy soon, such as the massive bond-buying programs it launched in 2008 and 2010. That was another reason bond prices fell after the report was released. The Fed has already held its benchmark short-term interest rate near zero for three years and bought almost $2 trillion in government bonds and other securities to keep long-term rates low. Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke said last week that the central bank planned to keep its short-term rate near zero at least until late 2014. But if the unemployment rate keeps coming down, that date could be moved up, several economists said. Even with January’s gains, the job market is a long way from full health. The nation has about 5.6 million fewer jobs than it did when the Great Recession began in December 2007. Employers have added an average of 201,000 jobs a month the past three months. That’s 50,000 more than the economy averaged each month last year. Still, 11 million people either have stopped looking for jobs or are working part time and would rather work full time. When those people are added to the 12.8 million unemployed, nearly 24 million are considered underemployed. The so-called underemployment rate edged down in January to 15.1 percent, from 15.2 percent.

Holy Angels celebrates Catholic Schools Week
Students at Holy Angels Catholic School, as well as all Catholic schools across the country, have celebrated Catholic Schools Week and this year’s theme is “Faith, Academics, Service.” Holy Angels Principal Mary Martin and her staff planned daily activities which took place this week. “Faith is what brings us to Holy Angels Catholic School,” said Martin. “What sets apart the Catholic school systems in the U.S. is definitely shown in this year’s theme, ‘Faith, Academics, Service.’ Sometimes the benefits of a Catholic education are subjective. When you put it in those terms, the benefits become something others can easily understand.” Schools Catholic Week kicked off Sunday with a pancake breakfast and open house for members of the parish and community. Holy
Angels teachers opened their doors to show off their classrooms and projects that students completed. Each day of the school week had a theme associated with it, and Monday’s theme was “Angels Pray for Us.” Holy Angels staff and students took to school items to be donated to Compassionate Care. Items were accepted all week and will be presented to Compassionate Care today. Martin said, “Throughout the year, students spend time and raise money and collect items for various service providers in our community.” Monday’s focus on the community was an example of Holy Angels’ involvement in the community. Tuesday, Holy Angels honored the support staff including cafeteria, custodial and other staff. “Angels Watch Over Us” was the theme
for the day, and thankyou notes were given to all support staff members from the students. Holy Angels recognized teachers Wednesday with the theme, “Angels Among Us.” Teachers were encouraged this day to do something fun and unique with their students. Thursday, “Angels in Training” focused on students. Students were allowed to wear jeans and teachers assigned no homework that day. Catholic Schools Week concluded Friday with “Be an Angel” as the focus. A closing Mass celebrated the week’s success. Throughout the week, Holy Angels hosted a book fair. Parents had the opportunity to eat lunch with their children. Holy Angels families have also been encouraged to take part in a family project to show how they earn their wings.

Here are other reader responses: Mark and Mary, via email, say: “We’re pet sitters and could not agree more with the reader. A pet sitter should not only be bonded, but licensed (BUSINESS license — Heloise) and insured as well. A few other suggestions: ”• Anyone doing pet sitting should give the potential client a free inhome consultation, so that the client can ask questions and discuss special services the pets need. ”• Will the person doing the interview be the person taking care of the pets, or will it be someone else? ”• Is the person caring for your four-legged babies certified in pet CPR and first aid?” A reader in Washington says: “Our daughter was a professional ‘critter sitter.’ She had the usual ring of keys for her clients.

Relax ners, dancers (it is a and repeat five to 10 more sport) and perhaps base- times. You will find that
you’re able to stretch farther with daily exercises. Another good stretching exercise involves having a partner. The partner moves the relaxed arm or leg to the point where it’s on the threshold of pain. Then you contract the muscles briefly and relax. Your partner is able to move the limb a bit more. Is it possible that you’re confusing warmups with stretching? The two are not the same. Warm-ups are things like calisthenics or slow running in place. They do warm-up cold muscles, decrease muscle stiffness, increase blood flow to muscles and increase the delivery of oxygen to the muscles. Warm-ups can improve performance. DEAR DR. DONOHUE: During cold and rainy weather, I stand inside, lift both legs about waist high 200 times, five
times daily (1,000 times in total). How close is this to walking at moderate speed 30 minutes daily? — G.R. ANSWER: I don’t have a clear picture of what you’re doing. I take it you’re lifting one leg at a time and supporting yourself on the other, right? That gives you a decent workout. You’re not propelling your body forward as you do when walking, but you are making demands on your leg muscles, and you are raising your heart rate. You can determine for yourself how the leg-raising compares with walking. Take your pulse when you’re at the end of your walk and when you are at the end of your leg raises. If the pulse is approximately the same with each exercise, the two are close to each other in demands on your heart.

DEAR ABBY: I’m 14 and a ballet dancer, although I just started dancing seriously at 12. I have been in some shows and my teacher has started me on pointe work. It has become my dream to dance professionally. When I confided it to my mother, she told me it would be impossible. I take two classes a week, but I will be taking more — possibly five — this year.

Feb. 4, 1912 The Sidney Library, which for years was not a success in the highest sense, can be said now to have reached a stage of such general satisfaction that its perpetuity will receive proper attention. There are about 2500 books for general distribution. It is a place where anyone who lives in or visits Sidney may go and spend as much time 10:00 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. as may be desired. The room is convenient and is kept in excellent order by Librarian W.C. Wyman. ––––– A.T. Bascom this week received letters of patent for an improved newspaper folder, of which he is the inventor and which is manufactured in Sidney. ––––– A new electrical store has been opened in the vacant Timeus room on the south side of the square. The firm name is the Faulder Electrical Co. and is in charge of L.J. Faulder. A full line of electrical supplies will be carried and all kinds of electrical work done.
ING FOR JOY IN SAN DIEGO DEAR DANCING FOR JOY: A career in dance requires strength, determination, discipline and sacrifice. These are all traits that will serve you well regardless of what profession you decide to pursue when you’re older. The person you should ask this question of is your ballet teacher, who is better able to evaluate your talent than I can at a distance. But I urge you to stick with dance as long as it interests you. Even if you don’t eventually become a performer, you could become a choreographer, a teacher or find a rewarding career in some other capacity with a dance company. Now is not the time to give up on this dream.
Feb. 4, 1937 Miss Electa Geyer, a member of the local health department nursing staff, has returned from the flood stricken area, serving during the past week in the territory at Pomeroy and Ironton. Miss Geyer served in the improvised hospitals which had been set up in different schoolhouses where refugees were being taken care of. ––––– Miss Mary Lautebur was a guest over the weekend in Muncie, Ind., with her sister Miss Ann Lautebur, who is a member of the faculty at Ball State College. ––––– Miss Virginia Schiff, Anna, has been selected to sing with the nationally known choir at Captial University as it makes its annual tour beginning Feb 12. Sixty voices have been selected by Director Ellis Snyder to make the 10day tour into Indiana, Ohio and Wisconsin.
50 years Feb. 4, 1962 Ralph W. Munger, who served as county agricultural agent here for 34 years, was honored Wednesday night at Fairlawn High School. The occasion was the annual banquet of the Shelby County Dairyman’s Association which drew a record attendance of 224 members, wives and friends. Munger, who was 80 years old on January 28, continues to make Sidney his home, living at 924 North Main avenue. He was succeeded as county agricultural agent 10 years ago by Lloyd Lutz. Lutz was also lauded for his work in carrying on fine tradi-
tions. ––––– Mrs. Oscar Burns, and her son Warner Burns, have moved to their new home at 1555 Beck Drive from their former address, 737 St. Mary’s Avenue. Their new address is the former Frank Graziano home, the Graziano family leaving Sidney in November to reside in the east.
25 years Feb. 4, 1987 Michael A. Hiener, formerly of Marietta, has joined Norman P. Smith in the practice of law at 108 W. Poplar St. Heiner was admitted to practice law in 1986 after graduating from the Ohio State University College of Law. He received his bachelor of science degree from the Ohio State University in 1983. Heiner has a farming background, having lived and worked on a commercial vegetable farm near Marietta. ––––– Neil Hazel, of Rotary International, talked to the Sidney Rotary Club about the groups international project called Polio Plus which is committed to rid the world of polio by the year 2005. Every year thousands of children are struck by this debilitating disease. To date Rotary has provided the means to inoculate 250 million children against polio. ––––– After a sluggish first period, the Sidney Yellow Jackets shifted gear into high and tore away from the Northmont Thunderbolts here Friday night to record an 84-58 victory. With the win coming in the Greater Miami Valley Conference action, the Jackets move to 11-1 in league play and clinch at least a share of the league championship. The evenings performance also marked another Yellow Jacket record being added to the personal resume of standout junior DeWayne McCluskey. Despite the fact that all five starters were to end the night in double figures, McCluskey was able to pour in 24 points on the night. His seasonal total now stands at 440, which eclipses the old mark of 433 set by T.C. Johnson. ––––– 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.

Sidney rolls to 2nd win over Piqua P. Hudson’s 30 leads in 71-49 rout PIQUA — Sidney overcame a difficult start and dominated second half play in posting a surprisingly onesided 71-49 win over Piqua in Greater Western Ohio Conference North Division boys basketball Friday. The win put Sidney at 3-12 overall and 3-5 in the North heading to West Carrollton tonight. Piqua is 3-13 and 2-5. The Yellow Jackets missed their first 13 shots of the game, but the Indians could not capitalize, leading just 6-0 at the start. From that point, the Jackets went on a 19-1 run to lead 19-7 midway through the second quarter. Patwaun Hudson, who had 28 against Piqua the last time, did not enter the game until about midway through the opening quarter, but immediately made an impact. With the Jackets trailing 64, Hudson hit a three-pointer, then followed with a threepoint play to give Sidney a 106 lead. “He didn’t start because he missed a couple of practices this week,” said head coach Greg Snyder. “But when he
came in, he hit the ground running. He didn’t pout because he wasn’t starting and he supported his teammates when he was on the bench. He was phenomenal. He made threes, rebounded, played good defense and made some great passes.” Sidney led by as many as 13 twice in the second quarter, but the Indians got six of the final seven points of the half to cut the lead to 29-21 at the break. The third quarter was Hudson’s show, although the Jackets waited until the Indians cut the lead to 38-32. Hudson hit a three, and after a bucket by the Indians, he hit another three to make it 44-34 at the end of the third quarter. To start the final period, Hudson hit a two, and that was followed by back-to-back three-pointers from Tyree Manley and Hudson to balloon the lead to 52-34. And when Hudson hit another three for his 30th point of the game, the Jackets were rolling at 63-41. Snyder also heaped praise on 6-foot-6 sophomore Gold Barnes, who blocked about six shots and altered a lot more.
“This was our best defensive game of the season, and Gold was the key,” said Snyder. “He was unbelievable. When we let guys get around us and get to the basket, Gold was there waiting.” P. Hudson finished with 30 points despite not playing for nearly five minutes in the opening quarter. He hit six three-pointers. And Dezmond Hudson added 17, 12 of those coming in the second period. “Dezmond really came up big in the second quarter,” said Snyder. “He hit some threes and really kept us in that 8-to-12-point lead area.” Hudson was also 6-for-8 from the line. Sidney (71) D. Hudson 4-6-17; Manley 32-9; Heath 1-0-3; Herd 4-0-8; Barnes 1-02; P. Hudson 11-2-30; Spillers 1-0-2. Totals: 25-10-71.

Cavs pull away to 70-43 victory Lehman controlled the second half to sprint from a 30-26 halftime lead to a 70-43 rout of Troy Christian in boys basketball action at Lehman Friday. It was “throwback” night at Lehman, with the game being held in the old gym at the school. Players also wore uniforms from the 1970s. The two teams were close in the first half, but the Cavs outscored the Eagles 20-6 in the third quarter to open up a 50-32 lead. “We had very balanced scoring,” said Lehman coach Isaiah Williams. “We got the scoring we needed from the other guys. I think the guys liked playing in the old gym and in the old uniforms.” The Cavaliers had two players finish with double-
doubles. Alex Baker had 14 points and 10 rebounds and Solomon King-White had 12 points and 10 assists. Tharon Goins also had 14 points, Conner Richard 10 points and Michael Jacob 10 rebounds. Lehman is at Springfield Catholic tonight. Troy Christian (43) Thomas 3-2-8; Kirkpatrick 6-0-14; Grant 1-1-3; Salazar 2-0-5; Zawadski 2-9-13. Totals: 14-12-43.

ANNA — In the first meeting, Anna held the lead throughout much of the game before Russia rallied for the win. The Rockets again had the early lead here Friday night, but there would be no Raider comeback this time as Anna stretched its winning streak to eight with a 61-48 County victory, handing Russia its third consecutive loss. Both teams are now 12-5 on the season overall and 7-3 in the league. Anna scored the first five points of the game before Bryce Dues finally got the Raiders on the scoreboard at the 4:52 mark of the opening quarter. A Treg Francis free throw made it a three-point game before a last-second three by Jay Meyer gave the Rockets a 13-7 lead after a period. Trevor Sherman drew Russia to within two at 15-13 on two foul shots early in the second stanza, only to see Anna answer with an 11-3 run over the next four minutes. Two more Francis foul shots cut the deficit to 26-21 before a Derek Gephart three and another last-second Meyer basket put the Rockets up 31-22 at the break. Again the Raiders would threaten early in the third quarter, trimming the margin to 31-27, but again Meyer would answer, hitting a fallaway three on an inbounds play and another triple, this time by Josh Seger from the left wing in the final seconds, pushed the lead back up to nine heading into the final period. Russia would make one final push and trailed just 4946 on a Francis free throw with 3:09 remaining, but would get no closer as after Gephart hit the first of two foul shots, Nate Metz gathered in the offensive rebound on the missed second attempt, which later resulted in a Nick Reier layup. “We didn’t come up with the plays we needed to have the first time we played them, but we did tonight,” said Anna coach Nate Barhorst. “We didn’t back down and get com-

This is probably the biggest of the eight straight wins.” “We just didn’t play very well both offensively or defenslvely tonight,” said Russia coach Paul Bremigan. “We tried to come back, but it seemed like we would have a turnover or a missed shot and Anna would push the lead back up again. Meyer hit some big shots and they made the plays they needed to make.” Anna shot 38 percent for the game while Russia was at 30 percent, including just four of 19 from three-point range. The Rockets were 19 of 26 at the foul line, 12 of 16 after halftime, compared to 18 of 27 for the Raiders. Anna also held a 41-29 rebounding advantage. Meyer led all scorers with 24 points and nearly posted a double-double as he collected nine rebounds. “Jay is the kind of kid that
if we need an answer, we can go to him,” said Barhorst. “He really came through in some key situations, especially in that third quarter.” Reier did have a doubledouble of 13 points and 10 boards while Gephart had eight points off the bench. Francis paced Russia with 17 points, 13 in the second half, while Wilson had 16. Anna is at West Liberty tonight while the Raiders are off until hosting Fort Loramie on Friday.

Anna graduate and two-time County Player of the Year Derek Billing appears to have taken his game to another level at Lake Superior State. Billing has been solid all season long, but was particularly outstanding in the past week, earning him Great Lakes InAthletic tercollegiate Conference North Division Player of the Week. To earn that honor, Billing averaged 22 points, 3.5 rebounds and 6.5 assists in home wins over Ohio Dominican and Tiffin. In his 28-point effort against ODU, he had 20 of those points in the second half, including 5for-5 from three-point land. For the game, he was 7-for-8 from behind the arc for 87.5 percent, a season’s high in the conference this season. Against Tiffin, he had 16 points and eight assists, and the eight assists tied his season high. Then on Thursday night, he picked right up where he left off, pouring in 28 points in a loss to Ferris State. He was 5for-11 from behind the arc, and hit 9-for-10 from the free throw line. Marcus Reineke, New Knoxville Reineke is seeing a lot of playing time as a freshman at Cedarville University. A 6-foot-2 freshman, he is averaging 6.2 points per game and shooting 47 percent from three-point range. His most memorable game came against Malone, when he scored 25 points, all in the second half, to help his team to an overtime win. He was 9-for-10 from the line, and 4-for-6 from behind the three-point line. He also had 17 against Grand Valley State, with five threepointers, and was 4-for-6 from the field and scored 10 points against MiamiMiddletown.

Houston whips Loramie 46-26 FORT LORAMIE — Fort Loramie had trouble finding the basket all night against visiting Houston, and it resulted in a lopsided win for the Wildcats in County boys basketball action here Friday. Houston came away with a 46-26 victory to up its County mark to 47 and its overall record to 6-10 with Ansonia coming to town tonight. The Redskins fall to 2 -8 in the league and 3-13 overall with Marion Local coming in tonight.

while, shot well, hitting 20-for-36, 56 percent overall, and 4-for-9 from behind the arc. Brandon Clack led the Wildcats with 13 points and Jesse Phlipot added 11.

But back to that job market thing. Arnold would appear to have been a natural to take on such an important position with the host committee. He was an event manager at Lucas Oil Stadium, site of Sunday’s game. The city of Indianapolis bid a few years ago on last year’s Super Bowl, but it lost out to Dallas. Then in 2008, the city again bid on this year’s Super Bowl — and won. Arnold had the opportunity to join the host committee, but it would mean leaving his job with Lucas Oil Stadium. And his commitment to the host committee ends on March 31. But he really never hesitated. “I thought it was worth the risk,” he said. “It’s a little scary now that it’s getting closer. But I’m a planner, so a year and a half ago, I knew this was a possibility, so I was doing finan-
in a win over Ohio Northern. He followed that with seven points and five assists in a win over Mt. Union. Scott Schnelle, New Bremen had 18 Schnelle points and was 8-for-11 from the field for Ohio Northern in the loss to Capital. Stacy Timmerman, New Bremen Schnelle had an excellent week for Capital in women’s basketball. She had 13 points against Ohio Northern and 15 against Mt. Union, and was a combined 12-for22 from the field in the two games. Joe Brandt, Versailles Brandt is a freshman member of the wrestling team at Ashland University. He’s competing in the 197-pound class. Kathy Dirksen, Marion Local Dirksen finished second in the mammoth InRelays last diana weekend in the weight throw, with a distance of 59-11/4. She’s a member of the indoor team at Hillsdale College in Michigan. Dan Hickman, Miami East Hickman played his high school ball at East, but lists his hometown as Sidney on the Cedarville University men’s basketball roster. He is also the son of former Fairlawn boys coach Rick Hickman. Dan is a six-foot junior averaging 6.5 points per game, and hitting 85 percent from the line on 29-for-34. His top offensive games so far include 15 against Nevada, 14 and 13 in games against Salem International, and 11 in games with Mt. Vernon and Urbana. Brad Piehl, New Knoxville Piehl had 15 points and three assists for Findlay in a game against Ashland this week.
From Page 1 cial planning. “It was a series of things,” he said of his decision. “First, I thought this could be a once-in-alifetime opportunity. I was at a point with Lucas Oil Stadium where I was ready to spend a little more time with my family. I probably work more now, but in my other job, I had to be on site all the time. With this, I’m able to work at home. My daughter was just 6 months old at the time, and she was able to sway my opinion quite a bit.” He said one of the bigger aspects of his job is coordinating with the NFL staff. And he said neighborhood outreach is “critical.” “There can be such an impact on neighboring businesses,” Arnold said. “You have to reach out to those people. And there’s a residential neighborhood right across from the stadium. There is only one road that gets
people into their neighborhoods. So we scheduled a series of meetings with them. “Many people in Indianapolis have never experienced a Super Bowl before, so we wanted to bring their concerns forward and deal with them,” he added. Some of the many committees Arnold formed include risk management, transportation, parking and, of course, weather response. The mild winter looks like it will spare Arnold and his team from having to deal with ice or snow, but he still had twice-daily conference calls with that committee. Sports is a big part of the Arnold family. His wife is also in the business, working for the Indianapolis Sports Corp. Arnold explained the corporation brings sporting events to the city, and helps with bids on golf tournaments and events like the col-
lege basketball Final Four. As game day fast approaches, Arnold said he won’t really have a rooting interest Sunday when the Giants and the Patriots meet. “I cheer for the Colts, but the Buckeyes, that’s where my heart is,” he said. And he wouldn’t hesitate to go through it all again. “I would definitely do it over,” he said. “The timing was right. The Indy community has been unbelievable in embracing the event. Not just attendees, but volunteers, financial commitment, the city, the state ... It’s not often we knock on a door and run into a road block.” It’s been difficult work and a lot of hours. But Arnold says he wonders what it would have been like had the Colts made it to the Super Bowl. “This city would have come unglued.”

Bowlers BEL-MAR HONOR ROLL take on Trotwood On Thursday, Sidney traveled to Trotwood. The hosts did not have enough bowlers, just four girls and two boys. Sidney’s boys rolled a 2081 and the girls 2127. For Sidney, Ally Kittle rolled a 223, Devin Huffman 209 and Kegan Latimer 208. “The lane conditions were extremely dry and a challenging shot,” said Angie Mentges, Sidney’s coach. “It was a good experience for the bowlers using their least hooking equipment and moving to the inside lines.”
Lady Jets lose 59-32
