Change is coming Kasich budget to be unveiled today BY JULIE CARR SMYTH The Associated Press COLUMBUS (AP) — The two-year state operating budget that Ohio Gov. John Kasich unveils today will contain a host of big policy changes, including his recently released school-funding plan, a
decision on whether to expand Medicaid and a package of tax policy changes likely to include a hike for oil and gas drillers. Since Kasich introduced his first budget, the state’s fiscal picture has improved significantly. Fellow Republicans control both the Ohio House and Ohio Senate. But none of
that will prevent a vigorous debate. A major element of the proposal is the school funding overhaul that Kasich announced last week, which boosts K-12 education dollars by $1.2 billion compared with the previous two-year budget. The plan includes a host of
contentious policy changes, including expansion of vouchers for students in low-performing districts. Kasich said the spending increase was made possible through revenue growth, including from expanded gambling. See BUDGET/Page 4

Boehner steadies GOP team BY CHARLES BABINGTON The Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — House Speaker John Boehner has shored up his political clout after a shaky month, persuading his Republican caucus to pick its fights with Democrats more strategically. His impressive rebound, aided by face-thefacts confrontations with colleagues, helped the government avoid a potential default on its financial obligations — for three months, at least. It also reassured establishment Republicans who feared the House majority was becoming so unpredictable that it endangered the party. But the patched-up GOP solidarity and Boehner’s ability to pass bills without Democrats’ help are certain to be tested again.
Surprising news this past week about a late-2012 economic slump might re-energize arguments over tax increases and impending spending cuts. An even bigger challenge will be the immigration overhaul proposals headed toward Congress. The nation’s highest-ranking Republican, who recently confronted open talk of a possible overthrow, has calmed the waters remarkably, for now. December was a grim time for Boehner. Rank-and-file Republicans forced him to withdraw in embarrassment from White House negotiations over the much-feared “fiscal cliff,” the combination of deep spending cuts and end-of-the year tax increases. January was worse. Boehner, R-Ohio, twice had to rely on Democrats to pass major bills, and he watched a dozen fellow Republicans reSee BOEHNER/Page 5
Obama voices opinions on Boy Scouts, military BY NEDRA PICKLER The Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama said Sunday that gays should be allowed in the Boy Scouts and women should be allowed in military combat roles, weighing in on two storied American institutions facing proposals to end long-held exclusions.
The president’s comments in a pre-Super Bowl interview on CBS come ahead of this week’s meeting of the Boy Scouts’ national executive board. A proposal to open up the Scouts’ membership to gays is expected to be discussed and possibly voted on at the gathering in Texas. The Boy Scouts emphatically reaffirmed the no-gays policy just seven months ago,
but announced last week they were considering changing the stance. Instead of mandatory exclusion of gays, the different religious and civic groups that sponsor Scout units would be able to decide for themselves how to address the issue — either maintaining the exclusion or opening up their membership. The White House said in a See OBAMA/Page 5
Convicted murdered Jay Crider, 51, currently incarcerated at the Allen Correctional Institution, will have a parole hearing Feb. 21 to determine if he will be released from prison. Crider Crider, formerly of Sidney, was convicted in the 1983 murder of Sidney woman Rebecca Snider. Crider reportedly turned himself in to Sidney Police the day of the murder, claiming to have killed a woman. Police then went to her one-room apartment and discovered the body, according to published reports. Snider, who was 34 at the time of her death, left two children — a 13-year-old son, Joe, and a 9-year-old daughter, Angela. Her family has voiced its objections to Crider’s release each time he has come up for parole. Daughter Angela SniderCotrell, now herself a mother of two, said she received word this time that the parole board had recommended release for Crider during his hearing in October. The victim’s family is always contacted in such a case and may request a full hearing with the parole board. Cotrell did. “I strongly believe that if he does get paroled that he will do more physical harm,” Cotrell said. She cited his answers to questions asked in his initial police interrogation after the murder 30 years ago. “They asked him if he had trouble sleeping and he said, ‘no,’” she said. “They asked him if it bothers him to lie, and he answered, ‘No, I don’t have a conscience.’” Crider is on record saying that he laughed when he killed Snider. “A big old belly See CRIDER/Page 8

Word of the Week forceful — full of force; powerful; vigorous
Gravity Facts • Objects with mass are attracted to each other, this is known as gravity. • Gravity keeps Earth and the other planets in our solar system in orbit around the Sun. It also keeps the Moon in orbit around Earth. • Tides are caused by the rotation of the Earth and the gravitational effects of the Moon and Sun. • Because Mars has a lower gravity than Earth, a person weighing 100kg (220 pounds) on Earth would weigh only 38kg (84 pounds) on Mars. • It is thought that Isaac Newton’s theories on gravity were inspired by seeing an apple fall from a tree. • While Newton’s older law of universal gravitation is accurate in most scenarios, modern physics uses Albert Einstein’s general theory of relativity to describe gravity. • Acceleration of objects due to the gravity on Earth is around 9.8 m/s2. If you ignore air resistance (drag) then the speed of an object falling to Earth increases by around 9.8 meters per second every second. • The force of gravity 100 kilometers (62 miles) above Earth is just 3 percent less than at the Earth’s surface. • The human body can handle increased g-forces as seen in activities such as dragster races, airplane acrobatics and space training. The highest known acceleration voluntarily experienced by a human is 46.2 g by g-force pioneer John Stapp. • While formula one racing drivers may feel around 5 g’s under heavy braking, they can experience over 100 g’s if a crash causes them to decelerate extremely quickly over a very short distance. • Some roller coasters have been known to include g-forces of around 4 to 6 g. • The higher something is, the greater its gravitational potential energy. Back in the Middle Ages, weapons called trebuchets were used to take advantage of this principle, using mechanical advantage and the gravitational potential energy of a counterweight to hurl rocks and other projectiles at or over walls. In modern times we use the gravitational potential of water to create hydroelectricity.

Gravity
Gravity is an invisible pulling force between two objects. These two objects can be anything from a grain of rice to a planet in the solar system. Nothing can escape it. The amount of gravity that an object has depends on a few things. Once of these things is where on the planet you are. Believe it or not the amount of gravity varies from place to place on Earth. Another thing that effects the amount of gravity an object has is how big the object is. The bigger the object’s mass the more gravity it will have and the smaller the mass of the object the less gravity. The final thing that affects gravity is the distance between two objects. The closer they are the stronger the gravity will be. Why is gravity important? Gravity is very important to our everyday lives. Without Earth's gravity we would fly right off it. We'd all have to be strapped down. If you kicked a ball, it would be fly off forever. While it might be fun to try for a few minutes, we certainly couldn't live without gravity. Gravity also is important on a larger scale. It's the Sun's gravity that keeps the Earth in orbit around the Sun. Life on Earth needs the Sun's light and warmth to survive. The planets them-
selves rely on gravity when they were formed and to stay together. Who discovered gravity? The first person who dropped something heavy on their toe knew something was going on, but gravity was first mathematically described by the scientist Isaac Newton. His theory is called Newton's law of universal gravitation. Later Albert Einstein would make some improvements on this theory in his Theory of Relativity. What is weight? Weight is the force of gravity on an object. Our weight on Earth is how
much force the Earth's gravity has on us and how hard it is pulling us toward the surface. Do objects fall at the same speed? Yes, this is called the equivalence principle. Objects of different masses will fall to the Earth at the same speed. If you take two balls of different masses to the top of a building and drop them, they will hit the ground at the same time. There is actually a specific acceleration that all objects fall at called a standard gravity, or "g". It equals 9.807 m/s2.
Science Projects: Laws of Gravity and Motion SWING ON A PENDULUM Your children can discover the laws of physics when they try to swing on a pendulum at the playground. What You'll Need: • Swing set • Partner • Stopwatch How to Swing on a Pendulum: Step 1: Have your kids sit in a swing and have their partner push them gently. Time how many times they go back and forth in one minute. Make sure they don't pump the swing. Just let it go on its own.
Step 2: Their partner can use a stopwatch to time precisely one minute while your children count. Step 3: Then have your children's partner push your children as hard as possible. Again, make sure they don't pump the swing. Count how many times they go back and forth in one minute. Is it any different? Step 4: Now have them try the same experiment, but pump the swing by themselves. Does adding a force affect the frequency of the swing?
WATCH AN OUNCE LIFT A POUND It may sound like it can't happen, but have your children learn about centrifugal force and watch an ounce lift a pound. How to Watch an Ounce Lift a Pound: Step 1: Have your children thread a five-foot piece of fishing line through an empty cotton spool. At one end, they should securely fasten the 1oz object so that it can be whirled about without danger. Then have them fasten a 1-lb rock to the other end of the fishing line.
Step 2: Have your kids grip the spool so that they are also holding the string beneath it. Let the heavy rock dangle down about ten inches. Rotate the light object in a horizontal circle above their head. Step 3: When the light object is spinning around fast, your children can release their grip on the string below the spool. As they continue to spin the light object, they will see the heavy object begin to rise on the string that goes through the spool. (Make sure they use a strong line and fasten objects securely so that the objects don't fly off.)

Railroad sets record PENINSULA (AP) — The Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad in northeast Ohio says it set a new ridership record last year. The railroad says it carried more than 210,000 passengers through Cuyahoga Valley National Park in 2012. That’s up from about 160,000 riders in 2011, when it was closed for a time for track repairs, and more than 195,000 in 2010. The scenic railroad runs trains on varying schedules throughout the year from stations between suburban Cleveland and the Akron area. The notfor-profit organization is marking its 40th year of excursion rail service.
STATE NEWS
Sidney Daily News, Monday, February 4, 2013
Report: debts surge for state universities COLUMBUS (AP) — Outstanding debt among Ohio’s 13 four-year public universities has nearly tripled over the past decade amid a building spree on classroom buildings, dormitories and recreation centers. At Ohio State University, which has built a recreation center and student union, debt has more than quadrupled. Of the state’s 13 public universities, Ohio State has the largest total debt load at nearly $2.5 billion — more than four times what it was in 2002. But, according to The Columbus Dispatch (bit.ly/Tuxnd4), campuses must find new money sources or leave it to future generations of students to pay for the construction spree. Last month, Moody’s Investment Services downgraded the outlook for the higher-education sector to negative because of such concerns. Jim Petro, who retired on Friday as Ohio’s higher-education chancellor, said he under-
stands that state schools have been burdened by aging buildings in need of repair. Many school officials said it would be crazy not to lock in record-low interest rates. Ohio State, for instance, issued an unprecedented $500 million in 100-year bonds in 2011. The century bond allowed the university to lock in historically low interest rates, while giving it cash for its $1.1 billion medical center expansion and south campus dorm project, said Geoffrey Chatas, OSU’s chief financial officer. The favorable climate also has allowed Ohio State to move forward on a $396 million north campus expansion that calls for 11 new dorms, two dining halls and a 35,000square-foot fitness center. The dorms will allow the university to require sophomores to start living on campus by fall 2015, a longtime goal to enhance student learning.
The state estimates that Ohio’s colleges and universities face at least $5 billion in deferred maintenance. Miami University is using much of the money it borrowed to overhaul its dorms, some of which were last renovated in 1929. The school is “improving what we have and building only what we need,” said David T. Creamer, Miami’s vice president for finance and building. To cuts costs, Miami has scaled back its plan for a new student union, which is being built to accommodate the 167 percent increase in its student body from when the original center was built in 1957. Cleveland State University has built several dorms, a student union, recreation center, three parking garages and other amenities during the past decade as it moves from a commuter campus to a more-traditional residential campus, spokesman Joe
Mosbrook said. “We had a need to transform the university to meet the needs of the region.” Most of the borrowed money will be paid back through fees, which a majority of students said they were willing to pay before the projects were built. Over the past 13 years, the University of Akron spent more than $600 million to transform its campus, said Ted Curtis, the school’s vice president for capital planning and facilities. The improvements encompassed 18 renovations, 34 new acres of green space and 22 new buildings, including a student union, recreation center, stadium and several dorms and classroom buildings. All have helped the school raise its student body from 21,000 in the late 1990s to 30,000 now, Curtis said. Regents don’t regulate the debt loads of state universities. That’s left up to the individual schools, Petro said.

Ohio health site offers info Twin cubs to go on display at zoo on youth concussions COLUMBUS (AP) — The Ohio Department of Health is posting information online to help youth sports referees, coaches and volunteers comply with new rules aimed at protecting young athletes. A new state law taking effect this spring will require coaches in Ohio’s youth sports leagues to have players who show concussion-like symptoms sit out games or practices until they’re checked and cleared by a doctor or licensed health care provider. The changes also require that coaches know more about concussions and how to spot warning signs and that parents review and sign information sheets about brain injuries. The rules apply to youth sports organizations outside of the Ohio High School Athletic Association schools, which have their own guidelines. Information posted last week through the Department of Health website provides information about identifying and dealing with concussions. It includes links to free training to help coaches and referees recognize symptoms such as clumsy movements, forgetfulness, loss of consciousness, headaches or balance problems. “We anticipate this information will
give all those associated with youth sports the time and direction to implement the bill at no cost,” said Rep. Michael Stinziano, a Columbus Democrat who helped sponsor the bill. The measure required the state to provide online information and training before the changes take effect in late April. The legislation, spurred by evidence about the dangers of head injuries, was signed into law by Gov. John Kasich in December. It adds Ohio to the list of more than two dozen states restricting young athletes’ participation after head injuries. Doctors and health care groups that supported the measure say young athletes are most vulnerable to damaging head injuries because their brains are still developing. Emergency room visits for sportsrelated traumatic brain injuries for young athletes more than doubled between 2002 and 2010, according to the Ohio Department of Health. ——— Online: Youth sports concussion guidelines and safety requirements: http://www.healthyohioprogram.org /concussion.aspx
TOLEDO (AP) — Twin polar bears born at a northwest Ohio zoo are expected to go on display this spring. The Toledo Zoo says the cubs born Nov. 21 are the second set of twins for their mother, named Crystal, who is caring for them. Zoo workers don’t
have direct contact with the cubs, but a monitor in the den tracks their progress. The Blade in Toledo reports the twins are expected to go on exhibit in May. They haven’t been named because their genders haven’t been de-
termined. The curator of mammals, Dr. Randi Meyerson, says the zoo hasn’t decided how to choose the names, but it might let the public help. Meyerson says the cubs won’t be put in the polar bear exhibit until they’re stronger and learn to swim.

Handguns raise concerns in Ohio Last year there were 27 homicides in Dayton, with handguns the preferred weapon and just one case involving an assault rifle. Most of the handguns had large-capacity magazines.
BUDGET If Kasich opts to accept federal aid and expand Medicaid, as many expect he will, he’ll need to persuade fellow Republicans who opposed the federal health care overhaul to support the move. Kasich has already begun making the case that accepting Medicaid dollars available under the overhaul is not the same as endorsing what he referred to as “Obamacare.” “Obamacare, you know, involving an individual mandate, I don’t support,” he said during a Thursday legislative preview session for journalists organized by The Associated Press. “… But this is a different issue. This is about people who are at the lower eco-

From Page 1 nomic end.” The federal government will pay the cost of the Medicaid expansion for the first three years, which Kasich has hinted could allow Ohio to spend in other areas without raising taxes. A town hall on tax cuts that Kasich has scheduled to follow Monday’s budget unveiling suggests that his budget package will reflect an overall reduction in taxes, which could go a long way to bringing reticent Republicans on board. Kasich campaigned in 2010 on a pledge to reduce Ohio’s income tax and, with re-election just a year away, this budget is where that will need to happen. Kasich has said
he’ll bring back a proposed severance tax increase on high-volume oil and natural gas drillers in this budget, which he’s linked in the past to a modest statewide income-tax cut. That proposal has been divisive, as areas of the state benefiting from the oil and gas boom complain that money from it should stay in their communities. Advocates for Ohio’s Future, a coalition of groups representing the poor, disabled, and elderly, anticipated in a Friday teleconference that Kasich’s budget would also expand the state’s safety net — though perhaps not to the extent they would prefer.

Nude protesters arrested SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Four protesters were arrested entirely in the buff as they took to the steps of San Francisco City Hall in a brazen challenge of the city’s ban on public nudity on Friday, the first day it went into effect. One woman and three men — one wearing just a mesh thong — were taken into custody as about a dozen other protesters in various states of undress paraded around with painted slogans on their bodies, holding up signs with messages such as “The Human Body is Beautiful.” Police gave them a 15minute warning to disperse or put pants on before officers arrested those who failed to cover themselves. The protesters said their arrest would advance the cause of “body freedom.” “No matter what, we’re going to continue practicing body freedom,” said Gypsy Taub, a mother of two who hosts a local cable program devoted to the nudist cause. “In a society that's repressed and crazy, that glorifies war and at the same time criminalizes the human body ... nudity is a political statement.”

Israel might be behind airstrike MUNICH (AP) — Israel’s defense minister strongly signaled Sunday that his country was behind an airstrike in Syria last week, telling a high profile security conference that Israeli threats to take pre-emptive action against its enemies are not empty. “We mean it,” Ehud Barak declared. Israel has not officially confirmed its planes attacked a site near Damascus, targeting ground-to-air missiles apparently heading for Lebanon, but its intentions have been beyond dispute. During the 22 months of civil war in Syria, Israeli leaders have repeatedly expressed concern that high-end weapons could fall into the hands of enemy Hezbollah, the powerful Lebanese militants. For years, Israel has been charging that Syrian President Bashar Assad and
Iran have been arming Hezbollah, which fought a monthlong war against Israel in 2006. U.S. officials say the target was a convoy of sophisticated Russian SA-17 antiaircraft missiles. Deployed in Lebanon, they could have limited Israel’s ability to gather intelligence on its enemies from the air. Over the weekend, Syrian TV broadcast video of the Wednesday attack site for the first time, showing destroyed vehicles and a damaged building identified as a scientific research center. The U.S. officials said the airstrike hit both the building and the convoy. Turkey, which seeks the ouster of Assad and supports the opposition that is fighting against his regime, harshly criticized Israel regarding the airstrike
in Syria. Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Sunday that Israel engaged in “state terror” and he suggested that its allies have nurtured wrongdoing on the part of the Jewish state. “Those who have from the very beginning looked in the wrong direction and who have nourished and raised Israel like a spoiled child should always expect such things from Israel,” Turkey’s Hurriyet Daily News quoted Erdogan as saying. Erdogan, who also criticized Iran for supporting Syria, is a frequent critic of Israel, a former ally of Turkey. Relations hit a low in 2010 when Israeli troops raided a Gaza-bound Turkish aid ship, and nine activists on board were killed. Both sides accused each other of initiating the violence.
Taliban peace talks flounder

AN EMPLOYEE opens the gate to let out cars at the entrance Rough Creek Lodge, Sunday. Chris Kyle and Chad Littlefield were found murdered at the gun range on the property.
Vet charged in shooting STEPHENVILLE, Texas (AP) — An Iraq War veteran charged with murdering former Navy SEAL sniper Chris Kyle and a friend turned a gun on the pair while they were at a Texas shooting range, authorities said Sunday. Eddie Ray Routh, of Lancaster, was arraigned early Sunday in the deaths of Kyle, who wrote the best-selling book “American Sniper,” and Chad Littlefield, 35. They were killed at a shooting range at Rough Creek Lodge, about 50 miles southwest of Fort Worth. Travis Cox, the director of a nonprofit Kyle helped found, told The Associated Press on Sunday that Kyle, 38, and Littlefield had taken Routh to the range to try to help him. Littlefield was Kyle’s neighbor and “workout buddy,” Cox said. “What I know is Chris and a gentleman — great guy, I
BOEHNER fuse to back his re-election as speaker. Within days, however, he steadied his ship and persuaded his colleagues to go along with his plans to be more strategic and patient. The implications went beyond one politician’s fate. Financial markets and corporate planners were reassured when House Republicans agreed to postpone a showdown over the government’s borrowing capacity. It marked a significant cooling off by GOP conservatives, many of whom had been saying President Barack Obama’s re-election meant little. Now they publicly were starting to accept the limits of minority party status in Washington. “We’re too outnumbered to govern, to make policy,” said Rep. John Fleming, R-La., who had defied Boehner on votes earlier in January on the fiscal cliff and hurricane aid. “But we can make a serious impact on spending” by picking when and where to fight, Fleming said. Republicans say Boehner’s biggest breakthrough came at a two-day House GOP retreat in Virginia. With his restless caucus shut away from distractions, he lined up speakers from inside and outside Congress to help explain what he
knew him well, Chad Littlefield — took a veteran out shooting who was struggling with PTSD to try to assist him, try to help him, try to, you know, give him a helping hand, and he turned the gun on both of them, killing them,” Cox said. Capt. Jason Upshaw with the Erath County Sheriff’s Office said Routh had not made any comments that might indicate a motive. “I don’t know that we’ll ever know. He’s the only one that knows that,” Upshaw said. Sheriff Tommy Bryant said Routh was unemployed and “may have been suffering from some type of mental illness from being in the military himself.” Bryant didn’t know whether Routh was on any medication or had been diagnosed with post-traumatic
From Page 1 saw as fiscal and political realities. In a speech a few days later, Boehner summarized the case he made to his colleagues. In the upcoming debates over taxes and deficit spending, he said, Republicans must decide “where’s the ground that we fight on? Where’s the ground that we retreat on? Where are the smart fights?” The decisions will come soon. Aside from big spending cuts scheduled to start March 1, lawmakers must choose whether to fund the government for another year. Some conservatives say they may temporarily shut down the government if Democrats don’t accept deep spending cuts and no new tax revenues. Boehner, at least for a while, can bask in achievements that were far from certain just a short time ago. Dozens of House Republicans who had once refused to increase the debt ceiling without corresponding spending cuts — a position Boehner had just abandoned — backed down after the House retreat. Republican campaign strategists fear severe setbacks if voters blame the party for a default on U.S. financial obligations.
stress disorder. Routh was being held on one charge of capital murder and two charges of murder. Upshaw said officials believe Routh used a semi-automatic handgun, which authorities later found at his home. Upshaw said ballistics tests weren’t complete Sunday, but authorities believe it was the gun used in the shootings. Upshaw declined to give any more details about the gun. The U.S. military confirmed Sunday that Routh was a corporal in the Marines, serving in active duty from 2006 to 2010. He was deployed to Iraq in 2007 and Haiti in 2010. His current duty status is listed as reserve. Routh is being held on $3 million bond. Bryant said he believed Routh was in the process of seeking a public defender.
OBAMA statement last August that Obama opposed the gay ban. Obama, like presidents for the last century, serves as honorary president of the group. The president’s comment Sunday was his first since the group announced it was considering a policy change. “My attitude is that gays and lesbians should have access and opportunity the same way everybody else does in every institution and walk of life,” Obama said. “The Scouts are a great institution that are promoting young people and exposing them to opportunities and leadership that will serve people for the rest of their lives. And I think nobody should be barred from that.” Obama also had previously issued a statement supporting the Pentagon’s decision last month to open up front-line combat jobs to women, but the interview with CBS’ Scott Pelley included his first publicly spoken comments on the matter since the announcement. He said women are already serving in combat “as a practical matter.” “When they’re in theater in places like Iraq and Afghanistan, they are vulnerable,” he said. “They are wounded, and they’ve been killed. And they have carried out their jobs with extraordi-
KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — The Afghan peace effort is floundering, fraught with mistrust and confusion among key players even though the hard-line Taliban militants show signs of softening and their reclusive, one-eyed leader made a surprise offer to share power in a post-war Afghanistan. The U.S. and its allies hope the peace process, which began nearly two years ago, will gain traction before most international forces withdraw from the country in fewer than 23 months. But although the Taliban appear more ready to talk than ever before, peace talks remain elusive because of infighting among a rising number of interlocutors — all trying to get some kind of negotiations started. Members of the Taliban are in contact with representatives from 30 to 40 different countries, according to senior U.S., Afghan and other officials The Associated Press interviewed in Afghanistan and Pakistan. Moreover, the relationship among the key players — the U.S., Afghanistan and Pakistan — is marked by distrust that keeps tugging momentum away from the peace process. Many of the officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly about the sensitive contacts with the Taliban. Finding a path to the negotiating table will be a topic when Afghan President Hamid Karzai and Pakistan President Asif Zardari hold a series of meetings beginning Monday with British Prime Minister David Cameron.
From Page 1 nary patriotism and distinction.” The policy change overturns a 1994 rule prohibiting women from being assigned to smaller ground combat units, and is expected to open up more than 230,000 combat positions that have been off limits to women. Obama said he meets “extraordinary women in uniform who can do everything that a man can and more.” He gave the example of one of his military aides, who he estimated is only about 5 feet tall and 100 pounds. “You put a 50-pound pack on her, and she can do things that you or me would keel over doing. And so the truth is that women are serving. They are taking great risks. What we should not do is somehow prevent them from advancing in an institution that we all revere.” On the economy, Obama said although more revenue has to be raised to reduce the deficit, it can be done without raising income tax rates again. He said the answer is “smart spending cuts,” reducing waste in the health care system and closing loopholes and deductions like offshore tax havens that benefit a few high income earners but not most Americans.

i l l e Dr. Robert gally Wallace by the principal and school nurse because someone told the principal that I had a gun stashed in my locker. What they found was just a starter’s pistol that fires blanks only, not bullets, and it’s used to start races. I brought it to school just to show off, not to do any harm. My uncle is an attorney, and he told me that the police cannot search a locker without a search warrant, but the school principal can. How can this be? —Nameless, Houston, Tex. NAMELESS: A school operates “in loco parentis” (in place of parents), which means school authorities can do what a reasonable parent might do in times of stress or possible danger. Since a school is responsible for the safety and welfare of all of its students, school authorities can search a student’s locker without permission if they suspect something harmful is in the locker. You deserve your punishment. You made a very unwise decision to take the starter’s pistol to school. It could have caused a major disturbance on campus. You are fortunate your punishment was a suspension, not a year’s expulsion. DR. WALLACE: I was so happy to read the letter from a young lady who was adopted, thanking her birth mother for having the love and wisdom to place her with caring adoptive parents. I am an adoptee and didn’t learn about my adoption until I was 80 years old. The interesting part of this story is that my entire family knew I was adopted. The only way I found out was that someone was doing genealogical research on my mother’s family and notified me that I was listed as “adopted” in the 1930 census. I realize there are many adoptees who feel bitter and abandoned about having been given away as infants. I hope they realize how fortunate they are that their birth mothers loved them so much they gave them up when they knew they could not give them the life they deserved. —Granny, DeKalb, Ill. GRANNY: Thanks for sharing your story and, even more importantly, sharing your wise, generous and accepting attitude. I’m sure it will bring comfort to many adoptees who are having a difficult time accepting their separation from their birth mother. What a surprise it must have been to learn the circumstances of your birth at the age of 80!

those monthly mailers filled with coupons. I don’t use most of them, but they often have coupons for discounts at restaurants or for things like carwashes or oil changes. For coupons like these, I keep them in a plastic zippered bag in my glove box. I never know when I am going to have the time to stop for a carwash or oil change, or when we will eat at a particular restaurant. Now they are always available, and I don’t lose out on saving some money. — A Reader, via email PERFECT PIN Dear Heloise: I read in my paper today the hint about carrying pins (Heloise here: A reader wrote in about keeping extra safety pins on the hem of her skirt).

DEAN’S
Gillman addresses Kiwanis Club Becky Gillman, the manager of FISH, was the guest speaker at the Jan. 23 meeting of the Kiwanis Club of Sidney. FISH stands for Friends In Service to Humanity, she told the group. Barbara Smith started FISH from her home in 1979. Later, through the auspices of the Shelby County Church Women United, a merger was implemented with the Holy Angels Catholic Church Clothing Center to become a community thrift shop. It now has a 16member governing board and is run totally by volunteers. In 1982, Gillman said, FISH secured a space to open its first store. It then moved into a larger facility in 1995. It has been at its current location at 1128 W. Michigan St. since November 2010. Donations of good used clothing, household items and food are greatly appreciated, said Gillman. The organization is always looking for volunteers, as well. Under certain circumstances, FISH will pay for people’s prescriptions for heart, blood pressure and diabetes medicines and certain antibiotics. Gillman said that FISH is proud to be a part of a community that cares and to be the “middle man” between those who want to help and those who need help. It is a small place with a big heart, she said. President Phil Warnecke called the meeting to order. The invocation was given by Gary Carter and the group was lead in song by the Don Tangeman and Mike Tangeman. A small game of draw poker was the Fun & Games activity and was led by Warnecke. Treasurer Ray Weber reported that about 200 dinners were served at this year’s spaghetti dinner. Tom Kinninger reported that this year’s Pancake Day will be April 10.

COLUMBUS — The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Farm Service Agency (FSA) recently announced that Tuesday, beginning USDA will issue payments to dairy farmers enrolled in the Milk Income Loss Contract (MILC) program for the September 2012 marketings. The American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 extended the authorization of the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 (the 2008 Farm Bill) through 2013 for many programs administered by FSA, including MILC. The 2008 Farm Bill extension provides for a continuation of the MILC program through Sept. 30. MILC payments are triggered when the Boston Class I milk price falls below $16.94 per hundredweight, after adjustment for the cost of feed rations. dairy MILC payments are calculated each month using the latest milk price and feed cost. All dairy producers’ MILC contracts are automatically extended to Sept. 30. Eligible producers therefore do not need to re-enroll in MILC. MILC operations with approved contracts will continue to receive monthly payments, if available. The payment rate for September 2012 is approximately $0.59 per hundredweight. The
payment rate for October 2012 marketings is approximately $0.02 per hundredweight. The payment rate for November 2012 marketings is zero. Before the October MILC payment can be issued, dairy farmers must complete a new Average Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) form for 2013. The new form, CCC-933 Average Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) Certification and Consent to Disclosure of Tax Information, must be complete by producers before they can receive payments for a variety of programs administered by FSA and USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service. Producers may obtain CCC-933 at your local USDA Service Center or online at www.fsa.usda.gov/ccc93 3. Further information about AGI is located under the “I want to Section” on the Ohio FSA website at www.fsa.usda.gov/oh. Dairy operations may select a production start month other than October 2012. Producers who want to select a production start month other than October 2012 must visit their local FSA office between Feb. 1 and Feb. 28, also known as a relief period. For more information on MILC, contact the local FSA office.

Shelby County is part of Programs, meetings heat Western Lake Erie Basin up for farmers

Brown and Gibbs chosen for the Wheat Advocate Award DELAWARE — The National Association of Wheat Growers announced their choices for the 2012 Wheat Advocate Award recently, an award given annually to members of Congress who have demonstrated support for the wheat industry above and beyond the norm. Two of the recipients of the 2012 award are U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown and U.S. Rep. Bob Gibbs. As chair of the Agriculture Committee’s Subcommittee on Jobs, Rural Economic Growth, and Energy Innovation, Brown fought for a sensible five-year farm package. He has continued his work to improve upon programs like ACRE and was a key supporter of developing a safety net for farms during uncertain times like the drought that plagued the nation during 2012. He also openly challenged his colleagues to help bring the farm bill to the floor for a vote. Gibbs was vocal in his support of a balanced five-year farm bill and continued to
push for a compromise and final passage. The congressman was also the lead sponsor of H.R. 872, a bill that would help farmers and many other entities from facing duplicative and unnecessary financial and administrative burdens in order to comply with various federal permits. As the 2013 year unfolds, agriculture will continue to look to leaders like Brown and Gibbs to champion important work on the farm bill and other pieces of legislation that might affect Ohio’s No.1 industry. The Ohio Corn & Wheat Growers Association (OCWGA) advocates on behalf of tens of thousands of corn and wheat growers throughout the state. OCWGA works in our state and national capitals to best represent the public-policy interests of Ohio’s grain farmers and focuses on domestic and international issues that affect the success of Ohio’s corn and wheat markets.

been shown to successfully cut down nutrient transport from the watershed to the lake. Current USDA farm bill programs are an established means of assisting in installation of these practices by farmers. NRCS has developed a plan to use Area Wide Planning, Rapid Resource Assessments and quickening of USDA farm bill programs to focus on the resource concerns for the WLEB, and the contributing watersheds consisting of the Maumee, the Ottawa, and the Portage rivers, as well as other smaller direct discharge tributaries between Toledo and Sandusky Bay. The project area covers 4.2 million acres in the Maumee River watershed and another 714,000 acres in the
Portage River, Ottawa River, and the Lake Erie direct tributaries combined, for a total project area of 4,914,000 acres. This accelerated 10year plan for partaking in USDA farm bill programs will entail financial assistance to farmers in the structure of costsharing and practice payments, and technical assistance to aid farmers in planning and applying these practices. If you want more information on the WLEB, feel free to contact us at Shelby Soil and Water Conservation District at 492-6520. (Excerpt taken from NRCS and the Western Lake Erie Basin Bulletin.)

Watershed association to meet The Loramie Watershed Association represents farmers and other landowners whose land drains into Loramie Creek. The association’s annual meeting on Feb. 11 at 8 p.m. provides residents with an opportunity to learn about activities within the watershed over the past year as well as ask questions of speakers and regulatory officials. This year’s Monday evening watershed meeting will be at a new venue, the Fort Loramie American Legion Hall, 31 S. Main St. in Fort Loramie. Parking is available on Ohio 66 or in the alley behind the facility. The meeting is open to all members and prospective members, as well as the general public. Joe Nester, owner of Nester Ag, LLC, an ag crop consulting firm from northwest Ohio is the keynote speaker. He is highly involved with a group of farmers who share results with one another from on-farm management strip trials, something called “Adaptive Nutrient Management.” The group has three good years of local data of what works in their area concerning application methods, rates and timing of nutrients. He plans to share some general observation of the strip trials and how they might relate to farmers in the Loramie Watershed.
Nester has also been involved with local, state and federal Soil and Conservation Water agency personnel, helping guide them in implementing policies to address algae blooms in Lake Erie. He serves on the state Phosphorus Task committee and also the 4R Certification committee. The P Task Force is the research group compiling old research and providing guidelines and directions for new research. The 4R group is working on a set of standards for retailers and farmers to be certified as good stewards of nutrient application. Jason Bruns, who serves both as coordinator of the Loramie Valley Alliance and head of the Shelby Soil and Water Conservation District, will share updates on both entities. Brian Miller, manager of Lake Loramie State Park, plans to provide insight on state park projects, including progress on the spillway replacement. Loramie Watershed Association members are encouraged to let Miller know how well the lake drawdown schedule has worked for farmers, fishermen, lake residents, businesses and users of the campgrounds. This cooperatively developed agreement has been in place many years and helps alleviate spring flooding concerns while ensuring a lake level sufficient for fishing, boating and other
recreational uses. Area politicians, including the county commissioners have also been invited to provide input for the gathering. Tim Berning, president of the group, will detail association activities for the past year, with a review of the 2012 financial report following. Director elections precede the main speaker presentations. When the Loramie Watershed Association was founded more than 20 years ago, the action came about in response to a challenge issued by then-state Sen. Robert Cupp and other elected officials. Upon hearing from a number of farmers and landowners about numerous instances of inconsistent regulatory enforcement, they reminded the rural citizens that strength in numbers exceeded that of individual concerns. Much has been accomplished over the last two decades but more remains to be done. LWA members are advised to review annual meeting notices recently received in the mail.
Please check out the district areas on the back of the notice. Nominated to date are Don Barhorst, Gary Buehler, and Greg Meyer. Note that additional nominations are requested for individuals to serve as directors. Please contact one of the nominating committee members: Ray Riethman, (937) 693-3173; Steve Snider, (937) 6200838); or Ron Bruns, (419) 628-4020) with additional names. In addition, present and potential members are asked to mail $10 membership dues prior to the meeting, to help minimize registration procedures that evening. Membership dues should be mailed by Thursday to Loramie Watershed Association, PO Box 162, Fort Loramie, OH 45845. The secretary of the group, Greg Meyer, suggests that everyone bring their questions, concerns and comments to the meeting, reminding all that it is a public gathering. In case of severe weather, tune into radio station WMVR 105.5 to receive a status of the meeting.

Things are heating up: It seems like every time I turn on the computer, there’s another meeting/program happening somewhere! This first one just crossed my desk last Wednesday. Due to the many changes made by the fiscal cliff legislation, OSU Extension will be hosting a Farm Tax Webinar on Wednesday from 7 to 9 p.m. Farmers are encouraged Ag to connect via the Internet at their home to learn the latest update on farm taxes and the impacts Deborah of the fiscal cliff legislation.

HOROSCOPE BY FRANCES DRAKE For Tuesday, Feb. 5, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You have a strong feeling that you want to escape or get away from “all this” today. Travel will please you, and any chance to do something different will satisfy your urge for a change of scenery. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) You might have a debate with someone in a group situation about shared property, inheritances or anything you own jointly with others. Try to listen. Don’t jump to conclusions. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Be prepared to compromise with others today, because that’s just what needs to happen. Accept this gracefully, and go with the flow. (No biggie.) CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Although you want to try to get better organized today, lighten up this afternoon, because your efforts could be frustrated. Expect shortages, delays and goofy mistakes. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) A playful, artistic, creative day, indeed! Enjoy flirtations, playful activities with children, sports and vacation days. It’s a good day to kick back and relax. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Focus on home, family and domestic issues today. Conversations with a parent could be significant. This is a great day to relax at home; however, avoid major expenditures. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) A busy day! Short trips, conversations with everyone and increased time with siblings, as well as reading and writing, will keep you on your toes. Yada yada yada. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Your focus is on money, finances and cash flow today. Nevertheless, this is a poor day to spend money or make major purchases. Just try to get the full picture. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) The Moon is in your sign today, which makes you more emotional than usual. However, it also attracts a bit of good luck to you. Yay! CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) No doubt you will choose to work behind the scenes or alone today, because it just feels better. Lower your expectations for your accomplishments in the afternoon, because that is just a goofy time. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Conversation with a female companion could be significant today. Even though you’re focused on your goals, don’t make major decisions today. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Certain aspects of your private life probably will be made public today — just be aware of this. Be discreet, and keep your eyes open. Be ready to do damage control. YOU BORN TODAY You have a grace to your speech and movement that is almost delicate. You can be extremely convincing in a quiet way. You are insightful and skilled at smoothing over troubled waters with others or between third parties. In the year ahead, you have a chance to study or learn something that will be quite valuable. Your rewards soon will follow. Birthdate of: Darren Criss, actor/singer; Michael Sheen, actor; Charlotte Rampling, actress. (c) 2012 King Features Syndicate, Inc.

have seen people with very severe emphysema improve a bit by adding a few tablespoons of peanut butter daily. Peanut butter — high in healthy fat and protein — reduces the amount of carbon dioxide your body makes per calorie taken in. People with severe emphysema also tend to get thin, so a few extra calories are often helpful. Lung exercises can be very helpful, and usually are supervised by a team of health care providers, including physical and occupational therapists, respiratory therapists, nurses and your doctor. Finally, metoprolol is a good medicine for most people with high blood pressure, but it can cause spasm of the airways, so I would ask your doctor to think about changing that to something else. The booklet on COPD explains both emphysema and chronic bronchitis, the two elements of COPD, in detail. Readers can obtain a copy by

Shaving lasts a short time; waxing and laser removal are not an option for me. Is there medicine I can take? It’s embarrassing. — A.W.R. ANSWER: Some people are hairier than others. Body hair for men goes in and out of fashion, and is out of fashion now. Laser hair removal is effective but expensive. One option would be an over-the-counter hair-removal cream, which usually works well but can irritate the skin. Be very careful to make sure you get the right cream for the body part, and don’t leave it on for too long.
Feb. 4, 1913. While the casing was being removed from what is called the town well by Consumers’ Oil and Refining Co. at Quincy, the oil burst out in large quantities and every means possible is being resorted in an effort to save the oil. The big stream is still pouring out and that the well is a gusher is now an assured fact. The people of Sidney and all surrounding towns are invited to visit Quincy if they want to see a well giving out oil to beat the band. ——— W.H. Persinger has purchased a new Cadillac automobile. The car is a 50 horsepower machine, fully equipped, self starter, etc. including the jiffy curtains, and is one of the handsomest cars ever brought to the city. ——— The income tax amendment is now to all purposes a part of the Federal constitution, having been ratified by 37 states.
75 years Feb 4, 1938 Need for enlargement of the facilities of the local Wilson Memorial Hospital was presented by F.A. McLean, president of the board of trustees in his annual report to the stockholders of the association at meeting last their evening in the board of elections room in the court house. Trustees on the board include F.A. McLean, Forest Flowers, Joseph G. Wagner, Oscar Barringer, Jerome Raterman, H.A. Amos, W.H. Goode, Carl Berger, W.R. Joslin, and William Milligan. ——— Among those students from Shelby County active in various phases of study at Ohio State University is Miss Viola Schrolucke of this city. A daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H.G. Schrolucke she is included in the membership of the university chorus during the winter quarter.
50 years Feb. 4, 1963 BOTKINS — Due to the cold weather the basketball game scheduled for Friday night was cancelled and the homecoming dance was held Saturday evening in the school gym. Anne Hemmert was crowned Queen, Jane Bauer, senior attendant, Becky Shaffer, junior attendant, Carolyn Becher, sophomore attendant, Sue Henschen, freshman attendant, and Kathleen Gutman, junior high attendant. The attendants were escorted by basketball
players Roger Mack, Gay Henschen, Tom Egbert, Bill Wendel, Ray Koenig, and Bill Steinke. ——— January was a tricky month starting off with 10 days of relatively mild weather, then furnishing 10 days in which temperatures declined to below zero. That’s the way it looked to David Fette, observer at the Cooperative Weather Bureau Station, Sidney 2N. Fette added that despite the fact that 9 inches of snow was recorded during the month, it amounted to only 1.39 inches of precipitation when reduced to water. And that made it dry as well as a cold month, the observer said. Precipitation in January 1962 was 3.57 inches.
25 years Feb. 4, 1963 An area auctioneer has become the first American to win the World All-Around Auctioneering Championships. Phil Thompson, 38, owner of Phil Thompson Auction Sales won the competition held last week in Edmunton Canada. Sponsored by the Auctioneers Association of Canada, the event drew 44 participants. “I brought the trophy over the border,” Thompson said. ”This is the fifth year the contest has been held and the first time an American finished in first place.” Thompson, who has worked as an auctioneer for 17 years, won a traveling trophy, a trophy to keep, a $1,000 check and a jeweled belt buckle valued at $1,000. ——— The Shelby County Chapter of the American Heart Association has officially launched its 1988 Heart Fund Campaign. The campaign coincides with the observance of February as National Heart Month. Details for the fund drive were discussed during a kickoff meeting held recently at the Sidney Holiday Inn. Under the direction of Larry Billing, general campaign chairman, volunteers will be going door-to-door throughout the county collecting donations and distributing information about the American Heart Association.

My husband is willing to leave without us, get settled and let our son finish high school here. I don’t want to separate the family. Can you help us? — NOT “AT EASE” IN GEORGIA DEAR NOT AT EASE: Do not separate your family. If this were your son’s last year of high school, I might feel differently. However, there is still plenty of time for him to make new friends at a new high
school. Because he doesn’t want to lose his old ones, he can stay in touch with them electronically. What your son is experiencing is one of the realities of military life, and it may teach him to become more adept at social relationships. So think positive and do not let his fear of change hold you back. Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Write Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

Ravens cling to slim lead NEW ORLEANS (AP) — The Baltimore Ravens were clinging to a 34-29 lead with 4:19 remaining in the Super Bowl, in a game that was delayed for 34 minutes because of a power outage. The power outage plunged parts of the Superdome into darkness and leading to a 34minute delay in the biggest game of the year. The Baltimore Ravens were leading the San Francisco 49ers 28-6 when most of the lights in the 73,000-seat building went out with 13:22 left in the third quarter. When the power came back on, the 49ers came back, cutting th elead to 31-23, then 31-29 when Colin Kaepernick scored on a 15-yard scoring run. After he crossed the goal line, Kaepernick let out a roar and kissed his right biceps — the move that now known as “Kaepernicking.” The 49ers went for two, but Kaepernick’s pass fell incomplete. Baltimore responded with a Justin Tucker 38-yard field goal to make it 34-29. Auxiliary power kept the playing field from going totally dark, but escalators stopped working and the concourses were only illuminated by small banks of lights tied in to emergency service. Philip Allison, a spokesman for Entergy New Orleans, which provides power to the stadium, said power had been flowing into the stadium before the lights failed. "All of our distribution and transmission feeds going into the Superdome were operating as expected," Allison said. He said the outage appeared to originate in a failure of equipment maintained by stadium staff. It occurred shortly after Beyonce put on a 12-minute halftime show that featured extravagant lighting and video effects. On the CBS broadcast, the play-by-play announcers went silent. CBS sideline reporter Steve Tasker announced the problem of a "click of the lights" to viewers. Later, the halftime crew anchored by host James Brown returned to fill the time with football analysis. Brown said a power surge caused the outage. "We lost all power up here at the press box level," playby-play announcer Jim Nantz said after power was restored. He and announcer Phil Simms were off the air for most of the 34-minute outage. The failure occurred after shortly after Jacoby Jones returned the opening kickoff of the second half for a 108-yard touchdown, the longest play in Super Bowl history and pushing the Ravens to a commanding lead. But when play resumed, the momentum totally changed. The Niners scored two straight touchdowns and kicked a field goal to close the gap to 28-23 by the end of the third quarter. The public address announcer said the Superdome was experiencing an interruption of electrical service and encouraged fans to stay in their seats. Some fans did the wave to pass the time. Players milled around on the sidelines, some took a seat on the bench, other on the field. A few of the Ravens threw footballs around. Officials gathered on the field and appeared to be talking to stadium personnel. Finally, the lights came back on throughout the dome and the game resumed. "Let's go!" referee Jerome Boger said to the teams.

Jackets take 3rd in GWOC Best finish ever gives them North Division championship VANDALIA – Sidney went into the Greater Western Ohio Conference Wrestling To u r n a m e n t Saturday looking to win the North Division title, and they did that with ease, finishing third overall M. Calvert behind only Centerville and Fairmont, and rolling up 152 points. The nextbest North finisher was Vandalia with 108.5, and the third-place finL. Calvert ish overall was the highest ever for Sidney in the GWOC tourney. “Our performance on Friday was outstanding,” said Sidney coach Jim McCracken. “In the first round we went 90 and had seven pins and were in first place at that time. We dropped to second after the second round and as low as fifth after the semifinals. But just as I figured, pins would be a key. We had 16 and that’s 32 bonus points. “I’m pleased with the effort and showing,” he added. “This team is really special. They have worked hard throughout the year and collected a nice paycheck this weekend.” Sidney had two league champions. Mason Calvert was first at 138, going 4-0 with three pins. He was voted the Most Outstanding

SIDNEY’S RHETT Rosengarten is shown in action at 132 pounds in the Greater Western Ohio Conference Wrestling Tournament at Vandalia. Sidney was third overall but first among North Division teams. Wrestler in the North. In the finals, he beat Jordan Branham of Miamisburg, who he lost to earlier this season. “Before the finals I thought Mason was trying way too hard,” said McCracken. “But in the finals everything was clicking well. He was looking forward to a rematch with Branham since losing to him in the holiday tournament, and he dominated today.” He’s now 26-3. Logan Calvert at 145, Mason’s brother, also took top honors, and also went 4-0 with three pins. “He was wrestling with a lot of confidence and it’s the best he’s looked since the holiday tournament,” McCracken said. “He proved he was the best in the GWOC.”
In the finals, he took on top-seeded Cameron Early of Springboro and beat him 6-2 to raise his record to 25-9. It marked the first time ever at Sidney that brothers havewon league championships. Sidney had two third-place finishers in Alex Willman at 120 and Garrick Ginter at 160. Maurice Ickes at 285 lost in the third-place match. Willman beat Kris Green of Springboro 10-2, Ginter beat Chris Cochran of Centerville 4-0 and Ickes lost 5-0 to Mark Tulloch of Fairmont. “Alex dominated except in his semifinal loss,” said McCracken. “He recorded 16 takedowns and seven nearfalls along with a pin in his four wins.”
Willman is 25-10. “Ginter came close to winning it all,” McCracken said. “His only loss was 2-0 to the champion and that match could have gone either way. Garrick dominated the rest of the field. He’s getting better and better and his intensity is second to no one on this team.” Ginter is now 30-7 on the year with 21 pins. “Maurice’s key match was Friday when he beat Trame of Beavercreek,” McCracken said. “That was a big key for us because he had lost to Trame in overtime at the Beavercreek tournament.” Ickes is now 21-13 this season.

Tigers survive Minster upset bid MINSTER — The Jackson Center Tigers found a way again. A couple weeks back, the highly-touted Tigers trailed Anna by seven with 2:40 remaining and found a way to win. Saturday night, the Minster Wildcats had the Tigers backed into a corner, leading by six with under a minute remaining. But again, Jackson found a way, with Trey Elchert banking in a threepointer at the regulation buzzer to send it to overtime. From there, the Tigers were in control, getting the lead and protecting it with free throws. Not only were the Tigers 8for-8 from the line in overtime, they were 13-for-13 for the game – the same as they were Friday night against Anna for an impressive 26-for-26 from the line for the weekend. “We led most of the way and had them down six with less than a minute to go,” said Minster coach Mike Lee. “And we had the ball. But all of their field goals in the fourth quarter were three-pointers.” Minster hurt itself by missing the front end of a one-andone with 11 seconds left in regulation that would have nailed down the upset. That gave the Tigers new life and Elchert launched one from 25 feet that banked in at the buzzer to tie the game up. “Once they got a two-possession lead in the overtime, they were content to go to the line,” said Lee. “And they were outstanding.” Alex Meyer led the Tigers with 17 points, and Elchert and Levi Winner added 13 apiece. Elchert also had five assists and Gavin Wildermuth pulled down seven rebounds. Ethan Wolf had 18 points and nine rebounds to lead the Wildcats, and Devon Poeppelman added 13 points. Jackson goes to 17-2 with
alone and the Jets outscored the Tigers 25-6 to open up a 50-27 bulge with just one quarter to play. Gillem went on to finish with 26 points and also pulled down nine rebounds for the Jets. Trey Everett added a double-double of 12 points and 10 rebounds. “Anthony really led us in the third quarter,” said Jet coach Justin Tidwell. “We got a lot of transition buckets off steals, and we were able to rebound and get our running game going.” Waynesfield (44) Turner 0-1-1; Hennon 1-0-3; L.

Defense keys Sidney win JACKETS 1 (Maier); Riverside 1 (Hurley). Records: Houston 9-11, Riveride 4-17.
Sidney’s Lady Jackets got a bit of payback Saturday for a loss earlier this season, whipping Vandalia 54-36 in Greater Western Ohio Conference North girls basketball action. The win puts the Lady Jackets at 4-4 in the North and 11-8 overall heading to Botkins tonight. Sidney had to overcome a slow start, trailing 10-4 after one quarter. Sidney got 14 in the second, but still trailed 26-18 at the half. “We had a tough time with their best player (Black),” said Sidney coach Megan Mummey. “She had 10 in the first half, but we did a great job on her in the second half. Monique (Hanayik) played great defense on her and gave us the boost we needed.” Black was held scoreless in the second half, and Sidney outscored the Lady Aviators 16-5 in the third quarter and 20-5 in the fourth to win going away. Konner Harris had just four points at the half but added 20 over the final two frames to finish with 24. Freshman Sylvia Hudson added 12. Aaliyah Wise was outstanding on the boards, pulling down 15 rebounds.

Sidney had one fifthplace finisher in Kyle Pierce at 106. “His performance was one the keys to our success this weekend,” McCracken said. “He went 4-2, losing to the third and fourthplace finishers.” A freshman, Pierce is now 16-7. Jacob Sharp at 113 finished sixth in what McCracken called “by far the toughest weight class in the tournament.” He lost his last match to a two-time state qualifier from Vandalia. He’s now 24-10 on the year. Ryan Penley at 152 also placed sixth. “He wrestled well throughout the entire tournament,” McCracken said. “His best was in the quarterfinals when he pinned the fifth-seeded wrestler. He’s headed in the right direction as the postseason comes around.”
He is now 20-13. The Jackets now turn their attention back to the Ohio High School Athletic Association Team Tournament. They will wrestle at Oregon Clay Wednesday at 7 p.m. Clay is the No. 5ranked team in Division I right now. “We have no 182pounder and Jordan Fox is out at 170, so Clay will have a 12-point lead before we even get started,” said McCracken. “But we have everything to gain and nothing to lose because we’re ranked around 60th in the state.

Loramie girls top-seeded in D-V Anna girls seeded second in D-III sectional at Tipp City
Division IV It was no surprise in Division IV at Sidney that the 18-2 Fort Loramie girls are the No. 1 seed. Mechanicsburg was seeded No. 2 and is no doubt thankful to be in the opposite bracket from Loramie, which beat the Lady Indians
76-44 at Mechanicsburg back on Jan. 8. Russia was seeded third and Triad fourth. Botkins, at 10-10, got the No. 5 seed ahead of 16-3 Troy Christian, which was seeded sixth. And those two will play each other in the first round. Fort Loramie would appear to have an easy road to the sectional finals, taking on 4-17 Riverside in the first round, with 2-18 Ansonia awaiting the winner. There will be four games on the first day of the tournament, Feb. 16. • Meanwhile, in the Division IV sectional at Coldwater, New

Anna, which is looking for its third consecutive trip to the D-III state tournament, has the bottom-seeded team, Northridge, in the first round on Valentine’s Day, and the winner gets No. 7 seed Dixie. But if the Lady Rockets plan on advancing to Division III the district, they will Miami East got the likely have to beat Ver-

The Lady Tigers, 15-3, meet West LibertySalem in the game after Anna, and have 9-10 Arcanum waiting for the winner.

Dayton Division I action. Sidney is 11-8 after a win Saturday and Edgewood is 10-8. Head coach Megan Mummey likes the draw. “Edgewood plays in a Division II league so I think we’ve played the tougher schedule,” she said. “Hopefully that will give us an advantage.” If the Lady Jackets win, they will take on Troy out of the Greater Western Ohio Conference North. Troy owns one win over Sidney this season, 49-45 at Troy, and the two teams meet again Wednesday at Sidney.
