Gun training for teachers Sheriff’s Office offers first-of-its-kind program

BY TOM MILLHOUSE tmillhouse@civitasmedia.com In what is believed to be the first such program in the state, the Shelby County Sheriff’s Office will soon begin offering concealed carry/firearms training for school administrators and select teachers.

Sheriff John Lenhart said the the training program will begin Feb. 26. He noted the program was one of several initiatives to come out of a school security meeting organized last month by Sidney City Schools.

“I’m excited about being able to offer this training and I’m excited about being able to

help protect our kids,” Lenhart said. “It’s our responsibility to make our schools a safer place. We have to take an active approach to do that.”

“I don’t want our schools to look like an armed camp or the old Wild West,” Lenhart said. However, he said he thinks it’s important to take a

proactive stance to prevent an incident like the Sandy Hook Elementary School shootings on Dec. 14, in Newtown, Conn., which claimed the lives of 20 children and six staff members.

Lenhart said he responded to a person who questioned the program by asking, “Can you tell me anything more important than protecting our children.”

John Scheu, superintendent of Sidney City Schools, said he welcomed the training program, noting it covers much more than firearms training.

“It is a wide set of instruction that can help prevent a Sandy Hook situation,” said

Scheu, who helped organize the school security meeting.

He noted that the training program also includes instruction on gun safety, basic gunshot first aid, and other issues.

“We feel very fortunate that we have a sheriff who is proactive on this issue,” Scheu said.

Scheu said he has received 25 requests to be included in the training program.

“It runs the whole spectrum, men and women, from all six buildings, who want to be considered. He said the application deadline is Friday and he hopes to have the recommended participants selected by Monday,” Scheu said.

‘Butt call’ is accused burglar’s downfall

BY TOM MILLHOUSE tmillhouse@civitasmedia.com A Piqua-area man may find himself the butt of jokes after he “butt dialed” 911, leading S h e l b y C o u n t y deputies Tuesday evening to the unoccupied home he allegedly Wolaver was in the process of burglarizing in the 500 block of Miami River Road.

While breaking a window to gain entry to the home, Douglas J. Wolaver, 40, of 14001 E. Miami Road, Piqua, accidentally “butt dialed” 911 on his cell phone. The call was answered by an emergency dispatcher who immediately ascertained the wireless call’s location and alerted deputies of an open call from an cell phone from someone possibly needing emergency help.

Sheriff reports state upon arriving on the scene deputies found a window had been forced open and entry was gained by unknown subjects.

Deputies searching the home discovered a clue as to where the culprit was hiding.

Wolaver’s cell phone was beeping due to a low battery, leading them to the bathroom. He stepped out of a shower and gave himself up.

“We would appreciate it if any other criminals call us like that,” said Sheriff John Lenhart. The only other time he could recall deputies having such an easy time tracking down a burglary suspect was the time when a burglar left behind his wallet.

Lenhart said Tuesday was “a great day for technology and a bad day for a burglar.” He noted that his department appreciates the technology at the dispatch center that “allows us to not only locate the public when emergencies arise, but also when burglars call 911 while the act of committing their crime.”

Board adopts policy to verify qualifications of candidates

BY KATHY LEESE The Shelby County Board of Elections (BOE) met Tuesday and signed off on a new policy regarding the qualification of sheriff candidates, stemming from questions raised prior to the election last November.

The decision to have a policy beyond what is required by the Ohio Revised Code (ORC) became a point of contention when the qualifications of Sheriff John Lenhart were challenged.

The argument centered around allegations that Lenhart had omitted information on affidavits as part of the process of running for the office. It was later learned that Lenhart had supplied all required information.

During Tuesday’s meeting, the elections board approved a policy requiring that it follow the requirements of ORC 311.01 (F2) regarding verifi-

cation of sheriff candidates’ eligibility as sworn to and received from Shelby County Common Pleas Court.

Chris Gibbs, elections board chairman, said the policy has nothing to do with any current or past sheriff.

He said the current language in the ORC “does not require the court to do that verification, but does require the BOE to certify ... a sheriff candidate’s eligibility. The first time this policy will be used is expected to be for the 2016 sheriff ’s race.”

Gibbs said BOE members may also be checking the credentials of candidates for other offices that have requirements, such as county engineer and prosecutor. He noted currently the only way qualifications are verified is through a challenge from a registered voter. He said those new checks will begin in 2014.

“For future sheriff candi-

dates, the BOE staff will contact and verify items sworn to by the candidate,” Gibbs said.

“For example, if a future candidate reports that they worked in law enforcement at (a) village for four years, BOE staff will call that village and verify the fact. Those results will be reported back to the board so they can then certify the sheriff candidate.”

Gibbs explained the BOE may always challenge a candidate’s credentials prior to certifying a declaration of candidacy, but that beyond the office of sheriff there is no statutory requirement.

Gibbs said Lenhart’s credentials “are solid” and the new policy came about to ensure there are no questions about future candidates’ qualifications.

“The board agreed to put in writing that we would, in fact, follow the Ohio Revised Code.

Nothing more, nothing less,” Gibbs said.

Council reviews sidewalk work

BY TOM MILLHOUSE tmillhouse@civitasmedia.com An overview of the 2013 sidewalk program was presented to Sidney City Council members Monday night during their monthly work session. The planned increase in sewer rates for Port Jefferson residents also was explained during the meeting.

Gary Clough, assistant city manager and public works director, presented an overview of the sidewalk program.

The sidewalk replacement area for this year is Precinct 1A, which is bounded by Court Street on the north, Queen Street on the south, Ohio Avenue on the west, and Enterprise Avenue on the east.

The first step is developing plans, specifications and estimates for the repair or construction of sidewalks, according to Clough. The next step will be council passage of a resolution of necessity for the 2013 sidewalk program. The resolution will be on the agenda for Monday night’s regular council meeting.

Property owners notified Property owners will be notified of the requirement to repair or construct sidewalks. If the work is not completed by the property owner in 90 days, the city will complete the project and the property owner will be assessed for the costs.

Clough also addressed the adjustment of sewer rates for Port Jefferson residents. The Port Jefferson sewer system, which was mandated by the Environmental Protection Agency, was put online in late 2001. Sewage from Port Jefferson is pumped to Sidney, which treats the sewage at the city’s wastewater treatment plant.

Clough said due to decreased sewage flows in 2012 and stable operational costs, the city is raising the treatment costs from $1.23 per hundred cubic feet to $1.59, an increase of 29 percent. The management charge also will be increased from $1.28 in 2012 to $1.52 this year, an 18.8 percent increase.

The overall rate increase will be 23.9 percent.

The Port Jefferson sewer rate has fluctuated through the years, Clough noted. For example, the rate decreased 14.6 percent in 2012. The rates are based on the city’s costs to operate and maintain the system, as well as billing costs. A 50 percent surcharge is assessed for customers outside the city limits.

Updated engineering standards Information on updated engineering standards also was presented by Clough. Among the changes are widening sidewalks from 4 to 5 feet in new developments, revising the thickness of concrete residential driveways from 4 to 6 inches, and changes in sanitary sewer laterals to complement the implementation of the city’s infiltration and inflow program.

Council member Mardie Milligan questioned the decision to increase the sidewalk width from 4 to 5 feet.

“That’s a 25 percent increase and that’s not cheap,” Milligan said, contending that it will increase the cost of projects.

City Manager Mark Cundiff said the change would only pertain to new development, not to sidewalk replacement.

Near the end of the meeting, Cundiff reviewed the agendas for the Feb. 11 and Feb. 25 council meetings, as well as those for the Feb. 19 Sidney Zoning Board of Appeals and Sidney Planning Commission meetings. Pool rates and the sidewalk program will be among the agenda items for the Feb. 11 meeting, while the police annual report and legislation for state work on bridges will be on the agenda for the Feb. 25 session.

Mayor Mike Barhorst requested an executive session to discuss employee negotiations. No action was taken following the session.

Ohio seeks to overhaul School-funding Medicaid eligibility system totals released COLUMBUS (AP) — Ohio is closer to replacing an outdated computer system that’s known for rejecting eligible people from the Medicaid program and accepting others who don’t meet the criteria.

Officials said Wednesday the state will contract with Accenture for a new system that will help determine who’s eligible for programs across Ohio’s health and human services agencies.

The move comes as the governor says he plans to expand the Medicaid program to cover more lowincome people under President Barack Obama’s health care law. Gov. John Kasich unveiled his decision on Medicaid expansion in his two-year state budget proposal on Monday.

The Kasich administration anticipates that almost 366,000 Ohioans will be eligible for coverage beginning in 2014 by expanding Medicaid, the health program for the poor that already provides care for one of every five residents in the state.

The state also is bracing for 230,000 eligible Ohioans to sign up for Medicaid once the federal law requires most people to have health insurance.

Kasich’s proposed budget includes $230 million for the eligibility system upgrade, though the federal government would reimburse the state for most of the cost. The state’s share of the bill is ex-

pected to be $26 million over the two-year budget.

The state’s current eligibility system, known as CRIS-E, was launched in 1978. The administration says it’s “so fragile and technically obsolete that it is no longer practical or cost effective to invest in enhancing the system.”

The state estimates that 60 percent of CRIS-E’s eligibility determinations for Medicaid are inaccurate and must be manually overridden to prevent applicants from being denied coverage or remove those who weren’t eligible.

Officials say the move will make applicants’ lives easier.

“This new system will allow more Ohioans to apply for services online, instead of waiting in line,” said Greg Moody, director of the governor’s Office of Health Transformation.

Ohio Medicaid Director John McCarthy said most who fill out the online applications would find out quickly whether they’re eligible for the Medicaid program, without having to leave their home and go to a county office.

The state also wants to use the system to determine whether applicants are eligible for food or cash assistance programs.

“We’re all working together to make it as seamless for a person as possible,” McCarthy said.

The system will begin enrolling people in Medicaid by Jan. 1.

Probe of possible voter fraud heats up CINCINNATI (AP) — Elections officials in southwestern Ohio’s Hamilton County will issue more than two dozen subpoenas as an investigation into possible voter fraud during November’s election heats up.

By a unanimous vote, The Cincinnati Enquirer reports that the fourmember Hamilton County Board of Elections on Tuesday decided to issue 28 subpoenas and set two hearings later this month. The hearings will be a final opportunity for voters to provide explanations be-

fore the cases are turned over to prosecutors for possible criminal charges.

The cases include a woman whose absentee ballot was sent to her several days after she died, a Florida resident who tried to use her old Cincinnati-area address to vote in Hamilton County and a woman who ran into a problem voting on Election Day because someone had apparently already cast a ballot in her name.

In what officials say is the most troubling case, a longtime poll worker from Madisonville ap-

parently voted twice and may have had a hand in falsifying other votes.

Investigators found that the woman cast an absentee ballot, voted at the polls under her own name, and cast an absentee ballot under her granddaughter’s name.

Investigators also found that three other absentee requests in the names of men also came from the woman’s address, meaning she could have cast a total of six ballots.

All three of those requests were received by the elections board on Oct. 25, the same date as

the woman’s absentee request. All three ballots were returned to the board on Nov. 1, the same date that the woman’s absentee vote was returned. And the investigative report also concludes that, “Handwriting on all documents is similar.”

The poll’s presiding judge later told officials that the poll worker in question “was disruptive and hid things from the workers on Election Day,” according to an elections board report.

The poll worker was fired and could face charges.

COLUMBUS (AP) — Ohio school districts see varied adjustments to their state funding allotments under Gov. John Kasich’s (KAY’-siks) newly proposed formula, but no district sees a cut.

That’s according to district funding breakdowns released by the state Wednesday.

Estimated allotments for more than 600 districts across the state include adjustments to compensate for income variations, as well as add-ons for gifted education, special-needs students, English-language learners and other categories.

The documents indicate Columbus and Canton schools will see gains of about 14 percent in the fiscal year beginning July 1. Cincinnati schools get a boost of about 7 percent, while Akron’s funding rises about 3 percent. Funding levels remain unchanged for Cleveland and Toledo.

The formula gives a handful of small districts more than double the funding.

Road near state line still closed after pileup CECIL (AP) — A highway in northwest Ohio is still closed a day after one person was killed in a pileup involving 10 tractor-trailers near the Indiana-Ohio state line.

The State Highway Patrol says it expects U.S. 24 to reopen late Wednesday morning.

The patrol says the victim in the crash was 28-year-old Ashley Messmann of Paulding.

Troopers say fog had

limited visibility to only about 100 feet Tuesday morning when the victim drove onto the highway at an intersection and was hit by an oncoming tanker truck.

That set off a chainreaction of crashes on the highway that links Toledo with Fort Wayne, Ind. Nine others were hurt, but none of the injuries were life-threatening.

Free school lunch enrollment declines COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — The number of lower-income school children in Ohio receiving free or reduced-price lunches has decreased for the first time in six years, according to statistics from the state education department.

The numbers from the Ohio Department of Education showed that nearly 820,000 youngsters get subsidized meals this school year.

That’s 44.4 percent — a slight decline from the

45.3 percent enrolled in the program last year.

“You always want to see the numbers go down because it means things are getting better — at least we hope so,” Philip E. Cole, executive director of the Ohio Association of Community Action Agencies, told The Columbus Dispatch for a story Wednesday. “The thing to do now is watch next year and see if this is a trend, and hopefully it is.”

The school lunch pro-

gram is funded by the federal government. It serves students considered to be economically disadvantaged based on their family income.

Enrollment also determines levels of state and federal aid for disadvantaged students.

Gov. John Kasich this week proposed using the criteria for free and reduced-price lunches as a basis to offer tax-funded vouchers for privateschool tuition to students statewide.

Declining property values affect schools Future tax collections for the Sidney City Schools was discussed by Treasurer Mike Watkins during the Board of Education’s work session Monday night at Emerson Elementary School.

Watkins told the board that the property valuations in the district continue to be a concern. Some properties, he said were decreased in value, while others, such as agriculture, were increased in value.

The district saw a gross loss $26 million in property valuation, he said.

But there was an increase of $6 million on agricultural property. There was a total loss of $26 million to the district.

“Property owners have the right to file a ‘complaint against valuation of property’ with the auditor’s office,” said Watkins.

A total of 31 commercial property owners have submitted a complaint.

The district, he said, hired a Columbus attorney to represent the district against the complaints. He said 26 of the 31 complaint cases have been heard.

A total of $6 million was saved from being reduced from the commercial property valuation, he said. This prevented lost revenue of just over $218,000.

Even with the assessments, he said, some of the property owners will receive “refunds” on future tax bills because the properties value was lowered.

Watkins said at the Feb. 19 Board of Education meeting, he will present a resolution to accept the rates and amounts for inside and outside millage as determined by the Shelby County Auditor’s board. These taxes will be collected in 2014.

“This is something we do every year,” said Watkins.

The voted millage (outside millage) is affected by the property revaluation, said Watkins. The amount of tax dollars collected from the district’s school levies remains the same every year.

However, he said, it can change depending on the revaluation. If property valuation for commercial property goes down, and along with it the amount of taxes collected, then a homeowner’s taxes might increase to offset the amount needed to be collected for the tax levy.

“Property owners may see lower values for their property,” said Watkins, “but they may see their taxes go up because the same amount (of taxes) has to be collected. With commercial owners getting their property values changed, some of that may be given to the homeowners.”

NATION/WORLD TODAY IN HISTORY

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Today is Thursday, Feb. 7, the 38th day of 2013.

There are 327 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Feb. 7, 1943, during World War II, the government abruptly announced that rationing of shoes made with leather would go into effect in two days, limiting consumers to buying three pairs per person per year. (Rationing was lifted in October 1945.)

On this date: • In 1795, the 11th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, dealing with states’ sovereign immunity, was ratified.

• In 1812, author Charles Dickens was born in Landport, Portsmouth, England.

• In 1857, a French court acquitted author Gustave Flaubert of obscenity for his serialized novel “Madame Bovary.”

• In 1863, the British Royal Navy corvette HMS Orpheus struck a sandbar and sank off the coast of New Zealand, killing 189 out of the 259 men on board.

• In 1904, a fire began in Baltimore that raged for about 30 hours and destroyed more than 1,500 buildings.

• In 1936, President Franklin D. Roosevelt authorized a flag for the office of the vice president.

• In 1948, Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower resigned as Army chief of staff; he was succeeded by Gen. Omar Bradley.

• In 1962, President John F. Kennedy imposed a full trade embargo on Cuba.

• In 1971, women in Switzerland gained the right to vote through a national referendum, 12 years after a previous attempt failed.

• In 1983, Elizabeth H. Dole was sworn in as the first female secretary of transportation by the first woman to sit on the Supreme Court, Justice Sandra Day O’Connor.

• In 1984, space shuttle Challenger astronauts Bruce McCandless II and Robert L. Stewart went on the first untethered space walk, which lasted nearly six hours.

• In 1999, Jordan’s King Hussein died of cancer at age 63; he was succeeded by his eldest son, Abdullah.

• Ten years ago: The government raised its terror threat level from yellow to “high risk” orange, warning of a growing possibility that al-Qaida would launch an attack against the United States to coincide with Muslim holy days.

OUT OF THE BLUE Giant cookie sculpture stolen, found BERLIN (AP) — German police have recovered a cookie sculpture that may have been stolen by someone impersonating the Cookie Monster.

Spokeswoman Jacobe Heers says the 20-kilogram (44-pound) gilded sculpture was found Tuesday morning outside a university. It was hanging from the neck of a horse sculpture with a red ribbon.

The century-old cookie was reported stolen last month from the office of a bakery company in Hannover.

A local newspaper later received a letter demanding cookies be delivered to children at a hospital. The paper also received a picture of someone dressed like Sesame Street’s Cookie Monster holding what appeared to be the stolen cookie.

Goodbye Saturday mail?

Postal Service plans cuts

BY PAULINE JELINEK Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — Saturday mail may soon go the way of the Pony Express and penny postcards. The Postal Service said Wednesday that it plans to cut back to five-day-a-week deliveries for everything except packages to stem its financial losses in a world radically re-ordered by the Internet.

“Our financial condition is urgent,” declared Postmaster General Patrick R. Donahoe. But Congress has voted in the past to bar the idea of eliminating Saturday delivery, and his announcement immediately drew protests from some lawmakers. The plan, which is to take effect in August, also brought vigorous objections from farmers, the letter carriers’ union and others.

The Postal Service, which suffered a $15.9 billion loss in the past budget year, said it expected to save $2 billion annually with the Saturday cutback. Mail such as letters and magazines would be affected.

Delivery of packages of all sizes would continue six days a week.

The plan accentuates one of the agency’s strong points: Package delivery has increased by 14 percent since 2010, officials say, while the delivery of letters and other mail has plummeted. Email has decreased the mailing of paper letters, but online purchases have increased package shipping, forcing the Postal Service to adjust to customers’ new habits.

“Things change,” Donahoe said.

James Valentine, an antiques shop owner in Toledo, wasn’t too concerned about the news.

“The mail isn’t that important to me anymore. I don’t sit around waiting for it to come. It’s a sign of the times,” he said,

Obama seeks to reset relationship with Netanyahu

BY JULIE PACE Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — After a long and chilly four years, Barack Obama hopes to reset his relationship with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu when he makes his first trip to Israel as president this spring.

Obama won’t be carrying any big new Mideast peace plans when he embarks on the trip, which will also include a stop in the Israeli-occupied Palestinian territories, officials say. But repairing the relationship with Netanyahu, a key ally with whom Obama has often been at odds, could itself be a crucial step toward reopening a pathway to peace in the region.

In his meetings with Netanyahu and Palestinian leaders, Obama will stress the importance of getting the parties back to the negotiating table. But U.S. officials caution that no breakthroughs are expected to emerge during the president’s trip and reviving the peace process in the near term is not seen as realistic by the Obama administration.

“That is not the purpose of this visit,” White House spokesman Jay Carney said Wednesday.

Despite the deep ties between the U.S. and Israel, traveling to Jerusalem is always a tricky prospect for American presidents, given that their visits often raise expectations for

U.S.-brokered peace deals. Only four U.S. presidents have visited Israel since the country was formed: Richard Nixon, Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton and George W. Bush, who visited twice in the final year of his presidency.

Seeking to temper expectations, the White House is emphasizing that the president’s focus will be brokering a new beginning with his Israeli counterpart. Both men are freshly re-elected and stuck with each other for the foreseeable future, though each may have hoped for a new negotiating partner.

Obama will enter the one-on-one talks in a position of some strength, having solidly won re-election in November by defeating Republican Mitt Romney, whom the Israeli leader all but publicly endorsed. Netanyahu, despite embarking on his third term as prime minister, was weakened by last month’s Israeli elections. A new centrist party had an unexpectedly strong showing, and that probably will force Netanyahu to form a coalition government in the coming weeks.

Eytan Gilboa, an expert on U.S.-Israel relations at Israel’s Bar Ilan University, said the talks between the two leaders “could lead to a new page in American-Israeli relations, and personal relations between Obama and Netanyahu.”

Obama and Netanyahu last met in person in Washington last March, though they have spoken by phone several times since.

back at CIA’s critics

BY KIMBERLY DOZIER Associated Press

WASHINGTON (AP) — A Senate hearing on John Brennan’s nomination to head the CIA could lay bare some parts of the secret war against alQaida: lethal drone strikes from covert bases against even American terror suspects, harsh interrogation methods and long detention of suspects without due process.

Some of the practices produced revulsion among some in Congress and the public, but the outcry has been muted because Brennan and others say that these harsh and secretive methods have saved American lives.

Those issues will be front and center in the Senate Intelligence Committee hearing Thursday for Brennan — a chance for him to answer criticism that he backed the detention and interrogation policy while he served at the CIA under President George W. Bush, charges that stymied his first attempt to head the intelligence agency in 2008.

In answers to questions from the Senate Intelligence Committee before the hearing, Brennan said he was “aware of the program but did not play a role in its creation, execution, or oversight,” and added that he “had significant concerns and personal objections” to the interrogation techniques.

He wrote that he voiced those objections to colleagues at the agency privately.

Brennan also described how individuals are targeted for drone strikes, saying whether a suspect is deemed an imminent threat — and therefore appropriate for targeting — is made “on a case-by-case basis through a coordinated interagency process” involving intelligence, military, diplomatic and other agencies.

He defended the missile strikes by Predator or Reaper drones as a more humane form of war. Aides have portrayed him as cautious in their use, restraining others at the CIA or military who would use them more often.

Setting the dryer on the “medium” heat setting ensures that any and all dust mites will be killed.

This is a great help for those who suffer from allergies while also extending the longevity of your pillows. — Helen W., via email

Girl Scouts mark National Cookie Day

LIMA — The famous Thin Mints remain, but Girl Scouts are giving their cookie boxes an overhaul to highlight the real purpose of the $790-million cookie program, which is to teach girls five essential life skills: goal setting, decision making, money management, business ethics, and people skills.

To celebrate such a monumental program, this year Girl Scouts has named Friday National Girl Scout Cookie Day. Girls will be asking 50 million cookie fans across the nation to buy or order more boxes in honor of their success in running the largest girlled business enterprise in the world.

“We’re excited to celebrate the inaugural National Girl Scout Cookie Day to share with the community the benefits of Girl Scout Cookie Program, which teaches five essential life skills,” said Roni Luckenbill, Girl Scouts

of Western Ohio CEO. All the revenue earned from cookie activities — every penny after paying the baker — stays with the local Girl Scout council that sponsors the sale.

Girl Scouts of the USA, the national Girl Scout organization, has a social media team, who is making the most of National Girl Scout Cookie Day on Feb. 8.

Highlights will include a #onemorebox contest with winners announced the day of, and live coverage of the day’s events. @GirlScouts will even be tweeting the location of the Girl Scout Sweetery Food Truck as it makes its way through New York City, staffed with Girl Scouts selling cookies. Girl Scouts of Western Ohio will be reposting and re-tweeting all of the original coverage so that local Girl Scouts can share in the fun.

Should I have him choose between alcohol and me? — Worried, Lake Charles, La. Your WORRIED: worry is understandable.

Your boyfriend definitely has a drinking problem.

And, unfortunately, he’s already made his choice.

He may deny it, but he has chosen alcohol over you. It is imperative that your boyfriend understands that he has a drinking problem and needs professional counseling. You’ve got it right that it would be no fun to be married to an alcoholic. Stop seeing this guy until you’re certain his drinking problem has been eliminated, if this ever does occur.

English group to play Troy

BY MELODY VALLIEU Civitas Media TROY — Summer will go out with a bang — make that an explosion — in Troy this year.

Grammy-nominated Mumford & Sons, an English folk rock band that has recently found much success in the U.S. and abroad, announced Tuesday that Troy will be one of only four stops on its unprecedented Gentlemen of the Road Stopover tour.

The two-day event is scheduled for Aug. 3031. Other stops on the tour will include Lewes, UK, July 19-20; Simcoe, Ontario, Canada, Aug. 23-24; Guthrie, Okla., Sept. 6-7; and St. Augustine, Fla., Sept. 1314.

According to a press release provided by Jam Productions, each of the Gentlemen of the Road Stopover tour dates will combine the intimacy of a community celebration with the excitement of a world-class music festival. This year the stopovers are expanding to a Friday night concert followed by an all-day Saturday event.

Mumford & Sons will headline the Saturday show, alongside an eclectic and energetic roster of artists curated by the band themselves, including Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeroes, Old Crow Medicine Show, The Vaccines, Half Moon Run, Those Darlins, Willy Mason and Bear’s Den. A series of smaller events involving local venues, businesses, and, most importantly, local people will happen in and around the town, according to the release.

“The Gentlemen of the Road Stopovers are all about live music. We get to put them on in towns not normally frequented by touring bands in buses or splitter vans. We deliberately look for towns that have something unique, or some vibe of which they are proud, explore them and enjoy what they have to offer,” the band is quoted as saying.

Members of the band include Marcus Mumford, lead vocals, guitar, drums and mandolin; Ben Lovett, vocals, keyboards, accordion and mandolin; Winston Marshall, vocals, banjo, guitar and resonator guitar; and Ted Dwane, vocals, string bass, drums and guitar.

In 2010, the band received two Grammy award nominations, one for Best New Artist and the other for Best Rock Song, “Little Lion Man.” Tickets go on sale at 11 a.m. local time Friday. Tickets are $109,

Band looks forward to tour

BY MELODY VALLIEU Civitas Media Participants in Mumford & Sons’ Gentlemen of the Road Stopover tour should expect a high-energy show, according to vocalist and banjo player Winston Marshall.

Marshall, one of the band’s four members, said Tuesday the band is looking even more forward to the Gentlemen of the Road Stopovers tour than when it began in 2012. He said the unusual two-day touring dates were born from the band’s favorite things from festivals all around the world — such as the Telluride Bluegrass Festival in Colorado — all tied into one event. But, he said, at first they thought they might have bitten off more than they could chew.

“We were a little bit cocky and wanted to roll all our favorite things about other festivals into one, but we quickly found out it’s a lot of work,” Marshall said. “But we have found that with collaborating with smaller communities like Troy, Ohio, it works.”

Marshall said that Troy was chosen — following an application process — because organizers were willing to put the work in necessary to bring the tour to the town.

“Although we have not yet been (to Troy), we’ve been told it’s great,” Marshall said. “A lot of towns are not up for the challenges that bringing something like this means, but Troy was. Our people have had nothing but collaboration from those in Troy.”

The tour also will be making stops in the UK, Canada, Oklahoma and Florida.

“These are all the towns that wanted it most. I have had amazing reports about what to expect,” he said. “This tour is amazing; it’s something that we love.”

Now that they have a year of the Gentlemen of the Road Stopover tours under their belt, Marshall said this year’s events will be much more enjoyable for the band.

“Last year I was nervous. This year I’m very excited,” he said. “It’s going to be amazing.”

Looking back, Marshall said he and fellow band mates practically pinch themselves each morning when they get up — in awe of the success they have found.

“It’s so bizarre. Whenever we reflect, you are overwhelmed with how mad it is; it’s just not logical,” Marand will have no additional service fees or hidden charges. Each ticket will include a commemorative Gentlemen of the Road Stopover Passport, with a logo for each stop on

shall said.

Their love of being on the road has helped fuel the band to its success by being out there sharing their music in person, he said.

“Our common interest, apart from the music, is touring, and going places we haven’t been to before,” Marshall said. “It’s thanks to people who are buying the music and (concert) tickets that we get to continue to do this.”

The band will be joined by some of their favorites — an array of bands from Nashville-based to as far away as the UK. Marshall said there wasn’t just one moment for band members when they realized they had “made it” there have been many.

“I don’t want to sound spoiled or blase, in one aspect, the journey of the band has been steadily doing bigger and bigger venues. We have spent the last six years touring and touring. It’s been a slow build,” Marshall said. “There’s been a lot of those moments.

“Lots of bands dream about playing on the telly (TV), and we dreamed about going to America to play music. Then, there was playing with Bob Dylan — that was mental.”

The band’s sophomore effort, “Babel,” released in September, shows their musical growth from their first offering, “Sigh No More,” Marshall said. Babel was the secondbiggest selling debut in 2012 in the U.S. and included the No. 1 hit “I Will Wait” — which topped the Billboard rock chart in late 2012 — and the No. 12 single “Lover of the Light.”

“We always challenge each other as friends and challenge each other as artists,” he said.

Marshall said a lively, exciting performance is on tap for each ticket holder, and they promise not to disappoint.

“We were just playing last night and we decided we needed some new songs in the show to keep people on their toes,” he said. “We have lots of songs ready, just getting them ready for the stage is next.”

Marshall said he, along with fellow band mates, can’t wait to visit yet another new destination — Troy.

“I thank you so much for having us. we’re absolutely thrilled you guys are hosting us,” Marshall said. “It may not be as good as the Strawberry Festival, but we’ll give it our all. It will be the poor man’s Strawberry Festival.”

Campsites are incorporated into each Stopover site, the release said, and camping has become an essential part of the Stopover ex-

perience and are strongly encouraged.

Garrulous and self-effacing, Festing embodies some of the paradoxes of a fabled Catholic religious order that dates from the medieval Crusades: Steeped in European nobility and mystique, the order's mission is humility and charity — running hospitals, ambulance services and old folks’ homes around the globe. It has many trappings of a country, printing its own stamps, coins, license plates and passports, and yet — a stateless state — it rules over no territory.

The Sovereign Military Order of Malta’s world headquarters, down the block from the Spanish Steps and with an Hermes boutique on the corner, features reception rooms draped in oil portraits of grand masters past and a gem of a chapel where King Juan Carlos of Spain was baptized by the future Pope Pius XII. On the ground floor, it runs a health clinic that, while private, provides free services for anyone who can’t pay.

“It is, I suppose, a series of contradictions,” Festing told The Associated Press ahead of the order’s 900th birthday this week. “I’m on the inside of it, so it doesn’t

seem to be contradictory to me, but maybe it is.”

And as the Sovereign Military and Hospitaller Order of St. John of Jerusalem of Rhodes and of Malta, as the group is officially called, celebrates the anniversary on Feb. 9 with a procession through St. Peter’s Square, a Mass in the basilica and an audience with Pope Benedict XVI, the ancient order is confronting some very modern-day issues.

eras. I can’t think of once, except for this Coca-Cola commercial!

My experience with life and people is that more often than not, people are guided in their living by their “better angels.” They greet each other with a nod and a smile. They open the door for someone to allow them to enter or exit a building before them.

They hurry to catch up with someone who has accidentally dropped something in order to return it to them. The list goes on and on of the random acts of kindness that is the norm in our society as opposed to what gets reported on regularly in the media.

I know — violence and crime sells. But kindness and civility is more the norm so why don’t we hear about that at least more than we do in the occasional feel-good, human-interest stories?

Council prepares for Carousel BOTKINS — Botkins Village Council members are getting ready for the annual Botkins Carousel event and named their president for 2013.

Council members approved a request by the Botkins Area Community Club, Inc., for “drinking privileges” during the annual Botkins Carousel Days scheduled to take place June 6-8 in the village.

The club plans to apply for and obtain a liquor license from the Ohio Department of Liquor Control, which would allow them to sell some alcoholic beverages during the festival.

According to the ordinance which was approved by council allowing the alcohol, the alcohol will be permitted on designated streets in the village, where the festival is scheduled to take place. According to the document, the consumption of alcohol by persons who are of legal age, will be permitted during the period of “set up, clean up and actual activities of Carousel Days to be held in the village between June 7… and June 9.” Alcohol for the event will be allowed on Sycamore Street between East State Street and East Walnut Street and East Walnut Street between Sycamore Street and Huber Street in the village. The alcohol will be permitted between the hours of noon and 2 a.m.

on Friday and Sunday and between the hours of 10 a.m. and 1 a.m. on Saturday. It was noted in the ordinance that anyone consuming alcohol on a public street other than those listed are guilty of a violation of the Codified Ordinances of the Village.

Craig Brown was named president of the council for 2013. The committees will remain the same for 2013.

Village Administrator Jesse Kent told council members that there is an Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) grant available for schools called the Safe Route to Schools grant.

If the grant is processed through the school, the village would make the money available and would then be reimbursed by the grant.

There has been nothing decided in regard to the grant. Council member Steve Heuker gave the service committee report and noted that a couple of residents were asking about having additional street lighting. The service committee is also looking at getting a pick up with a plow for the village. They are looking at either a three-quarter-ton or one-ton truck.

It was decided not to make a decision about the truck until next fall.

Kent is getting information on siding for the viladministration lage’s building since the brick is beginning to deteriorate.

Council members were told that a village snow plow hit a vehicle on Dec. 21, and the insurance company was notified. There was a no fault claim filed.

Kent has purchased a 2012 Ford Fusion from Kerns Ford for $14,954.

The Ford will be the administrator’s vehicle and was previously approved by the council.

Botkins Fire Chief Pat Fullenkamp made a request to council to apply for the Louise Sheets Grant for Mobile Repeaters in an amount not to exceed $5,500. The council approved the request.

Kent told council members that the PlanCommission ning signed off on the Gehrlich Lumber lot split as well as a re-plat.

Steinke’s Marathon had a 20 x 80 easement for their business next to Gehrlich Lumber. It needed to be split and the remaining property will be combined and re-platted. A lot split was also approved for Botkins Lumber Company’s property and a re-plat was approved.

Teresa Featheringham, fiscal officer, presented a wage authorization form for review, which includes the employees’ hourly and salary rates for 2013. It was approved.

The council also: • Passed an emergency ordinance for a pick up benefit for the village administrator.

• Passed an emergency ordinance to accept the Botkins Lumber easement.

Calas fans create treat comeback

BY MICHELE KAYAL Associated Press NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Gaynell James has fond memories of her mother’s making sweet and pillowy rice fritters called calas on Mardi Gras mornings more than a half-century ago. Her mother is gone now. And calas nearly were, too.

"They come out in little square pillows," says James, a 66-year-old New Orleans waitress who has been working the tables in

the Big Easy for more than 40 years. "They were so good. They were so light. I remember that same taste. Every Mardi Gras we had that. My mom and cousins all made that."

A poor sister to the more glamorous and better known beignet, calas (ka-LAS) are made from leftover rice folded into a sweetened egg batter, then dropped into a fryer.

Deep-fried sweet lusciousness.

For more than a cen-

tury, calas were a staple New Orleans street food, sold on Sunday mornings

by Creole women carrying baskets of the fritters on their heads and calling "Calas, bels calas. Tout chauds!" (Calas, beautiful calas! Very hot!) But after World War II, say local chefs and culinary figures, calas largely left public life, most likely the victim of wartime rationing.

"After World War II, for you to know about the calas, you would have to have this as a tradition in

your family," says Poppy Tooker, host of the public radio program "Louisiana Eats" and a calas evangelist.

Tooker has led the charge to revive this forgotten piece of New Orleans' culinary history.

She has made it her mission to pass on the recipe in every class she teaches at the city's various cooking schools, has brought it to fairs and farmers markets, and has lobbied to have it added to lists of endangered foods.

Elder abuse takes many forms (AP) — As many as 2 million older Americans are abused in various ways each year, experts estimate.

The majority of cases are at the hands of relatives or other caregivers.

Some of the forms, besides physical assault, that elder abuse can take: — Inappropriate use of drugs and physical restraints.

— Treating the elderly person like a small child.

— Failure to provide sufficient food, clothing, shelter, personal hygiene, medication, comfort or safety.

— Isolating the person from friends, family, other social activities.

— Deserting the person.

— Misusing the person's funds, property and assets.

PIQUA — The Piqua Public Library will conduct a free class about Social Security benefits Feb. 13 from 1 to 2:30 p.m. at the library116 W. High St., on the square in downtown Piqua.

Beyond the beard

The next step

BY: ALYX MEYERS Being in education for 15 years Mr. Jake Johnson has seen almost everything. This Mr. No-Nonsense has been helping running things here at Lehman as the Assistant Principal since 2004.

Johnson graduated from Xavier University in 1997 and then began teaching Social Studies in the Cincinnati public schools. After a few years, He moved to Roger Bacon High School where he continued to teach Social Studies and began to coach football. This is where he met his wife, Andrea. The couple married in 2004 after they moved to Sidney and Johnson got a job here at Lehman. The couple are the parents of four children: Will, six; Leah, four; Luke, two; and Daniel, one.

When asked why he chose teaching and administrating in high school Johnson replied “I love the interaction with the kids. I like teaching the freshmen to help them get acquainted with high school but my favorite class is definitely the seniors especially this year’s class.” He went on to say that he wanted to be in high school education because he had had great high school teachers and he wanted to give back by being a leader and role model for his students.

When Johnson is not busy fixing computers, monitoring study halls, or just filling in where he is needed, he loves spending time with his wife and children as well as just enjoying the little happy blessings of everyday life.

BY: JOHN HUSA The school year is already past the half way mark, and soon we will be finishing the year off with final exams. Although everybody will be excited and ready for summer, the seniors will have something else on their mind all summer, college.

Seniors are now making their final choices on schools that they would like to attend, and are beginning to take the next big step in life. Some may have their decisions made and are ready to go, while others are still undecided and do not have a clue.

I was able to ask some of the seniors from Lehman what their plans are. Most students seemed like they knew what they wanted to do, but were waiting to see if they were accepted or not to their first choice of schools.

Ryan Edelen plans on attending Miami University if he is accepted, and will major in Biology with future plans of becoming a dentist. Emilie Proffitt has been accepted to Bowling Green University and plans on studying Interior Design.

“I am going to go to Ohio University, as I really love the campus and atmosphere,” said Zach Taylor. He plans to major in Computer Science, a program that gives him the option of studying Software Engineering in his fourth year.

Time may be winding down for the seniors, but it is evident that they are trying to make the best of their busy final semester at Lehman. Some are less stressed as their college selection has been made, while others are a little more frantic, trying to figure things out. We wish the best of luck to all the seniors, and that they make the right decisions and have the best college experience!

Many musical talents

Singing their way to your heart!

BY: EMILY HOERSTEN Recently one particular face has been making an appearance in Lehman’s halls more and more often. Mrs. Jenny Weber spent several weeks in November and December substituting for Mrs. Jacque Jenkinson when she was on maternity leave. While at Lehman, Weber taught the choir classes and used her piano talent to help her do so. But even now that Jenkinson has returned to school, Weber can still be found helping the Lehman Music Department.

After taking last year off to follow her son Ben play in his senior year of Lehman baseball, Weber is back playing piano for the all-school musical. Not only is she playing piano this year, but she is also coaching the singers and choruses. In addition to playing for musical, she is accompanying the show choir and played for a number of soloists at the recent OMEA Solo and Ensemble competition.

“How long must someone play piano to have the skills Mrs. Weber possesses?” you might ask. The answer is a very long time. Her piano education began in Manchester, Iowa, about forty years ago. “My lessons started at 6:30 in the morning,” said Weber. She passed on her piano playing abilities to her daughter, Gretchen, who is a vocal music major at St. Louis University.

When she is not playing piano, Weber loves to read. She also enjoys cooking and collecting wine.

The Lehman community appreciates all she contributes to the Music Department. We all hope to see much more of Mrs. Jenny Weber in the years to come!

BY: JULIA HARRELSON It’s that time of year again! Valentine’s Day is around the corner and many couples are planning their special date. Some dates involve a nice dinner and gifts!

But what if you are stuck on what to give that special someone? The Lehman Limelighters have a solution for you!

For the third year, the Limelighters Show Choir will be selling their Singing Valentines. They are recording excerpts from three songs: “You Are My Sunshine,” “Can’t Take My Eyes Off You,” and “I’m Yours.”

The cost is $3 for the first valentine, and $2 for any additional you buy. All you have to do is choose one of the three songs, write the person’s name you want it to and the phone number, plus your name and an optional message.

On February 13 and 14, members of the Limelighters will call your special someone, give them your message, and play the pre-recorded song of your choice.

Your Valentine will surely be in for a treat!

Junior Madilyn Brown always anticipates this time of year, just for the Singing Valentines! “I can’t wait to buy some singing valentines for my friends. And every year I buy one for my mom!”

Forms are available in the main office at Lehman. The deadline for turning in your forms is February 11 so be sure to buy them soon!

Happy Valentines Day!

HOROSCOPE

BY FRANCES DRAKE For Friday, Feb. 8, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) This is a fantastic day to dig deep for answers. You have the concentration, the energy and the drive to find what you want.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) If you have to speak to a group today, you will be riveting. However, you might disagree with someone or feel you have to compete.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You’re not afraid to voice your ambition when talking to authority figures today. People definitely will sit up and listen to what you have to say.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You’re highly convincing today. Perhaps this is why you are drawn to discussing profound topics or expanding on religion, philosophy and legal matters.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) No doubt you will get the better of disputes regarding shared property, inheritances and anything you share jointly with others. You have drive, focus and tenacious determination.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Conversations with partners and close friends might be testy today, because either you are blunt and forward, or you will attract someone who is. This could escalate into an argument.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) You’re so ambitious to get things done that you are willing to delegate anything to practically anyone. Actually, others will listen to you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) This is a strong day for those involved in sports, whether you are participating or just watching an event. You’re gung-ho with enthusiasm, and you want to win.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) You will get the better of others in family discussions about renovations and changes at home. You will be adamant about what you want, and you’re not going to back down.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) This is a powerful day for those who sell, market, teach, write or drive for a living. You have enormous energy to communicate what you want, and you persuade others to agree with you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) You’re determined when it comes to earning money today. You know what you want, and you intend to get it.

However, you might be equally determined about going after something that you want to buy.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) You are full of intellectual and mental energy today. This is why you will tackle problems and work for a long time on them. You’ll love debating with others, especially if you win.

YOU BORN TODAY You have a wonderful imagination and easily can form conceptions of all sorts. Your visualization powers are excellent as well. At times, you can even be prophetic. Your ability to intellectually plan ahead bodes well for writers, architects, musicians, scientists and map readers.

You have excellent technical skills. In the year ahead, you have an opportunity to learn something valuable. Grab it.

It’s usually caused by a fungal infection, and is the same infection that can be found almost anywhere you have skin folds and it is warm and humid. Powder dries the skin and makes it harder for the fungus to grow, so it usually works. But if it doesn’t, I would try an antifungal cream like clotrimazole twice daily for two to four weeks.

If that doesn’t clear it up, it may not be caused by a fungal infection.

Then it would be time to go back to your PCP or to a dermatologist.

Feb. 7, 1938 In the passing of L.M Studevant, 79, early this morning at Wilson Memorial Hospital following a heart attack suffered several days ago, Sidney lost one of its most prominent and active citizens, and the state lost a pioneer building and loan executive. Mr. Studevant was one of the founders of Peoples Savings and Loan Association 51 years ago and the First National Exchange Bank 39 years ago. He represented the United States Building and Loan League at London, England in 1914 for the formation of the International Congress of Building and Loan Associations.

––––– Just two weeks to the day, the same holdup man staged a robbery at the Sunset Oil Co., station on East Court Street at the Miami River bridge last evening, and escaped with an undisclosed amount of money. Harry McGrath, 22, again was alone when the holdup artist appeared. This time the bandit was walking, whereas two weeks ago he used a stolen automobile that was later recovered in St. Mary’s.

needs, so my life has been busy taking care of them.

Please tell that teen that having a baby is not at all like it is in TV commercials. — MARIA IN ILLINOIS DEAR ABBY: A mentor to teen boys told me that some of them deliberately try to impregnate girls so they’ll have a “trophy” of how manly and virile they are. The more babies they help conceive, especially without having to be responsible for them, the more bragging can go on in the locker room.

Every parent needs to know this behavior is going on. Some of these boys have punched holes in condoms and convinced a reticent girl to have sex — then laughed at her and dumped her when she became pregnant. — NURSING SCHOOL STUDENT IN WISCONSIN

Feb. 7, 1963 A dream of a number of years will become a reality Sunday for members of the congregation of St. John’s Lutheran Church, when they will use their new educational wing for the first time. Construction work on the two-story education unit got underway in July, 1961, after members of the congregation

gave overwhelming approval to the project at a special meeting on July 9, of that year. Rev. H.W. Swinehart, pastor of the church, indicated formal dedication of the new building will be held later in the spring following completion of the other work.

––––– Fears that there might be a local falling off in 1963 of the auto buying boom apparently were dispelled by the report issued today by Thaleon Blake, Shelby County clerk of courts.

According to Blake, his office issued titles for 926 new and used cars and trucks last month.

That was an increase of 155 over the January, 1962 total of 771 and increases of 223 and 127 respectively over the figures for 1961 and 1960.

25 years Feb. 7, 1988 HOUSTON — Fire destroyed Burger’s Garage this morning as firefighters, hampered by cold and ice, battled the blaze. Houston Fire Chief Arthur Flinn said the business at 3034 State Route 66 was destroyed along with several vehicles and other contents of the structure. He said at this point he did not know what caused the fire or what the dollar loss would be. The owner of the property is Kenneth Burger.

During the Korean War, a North Korean pilot landed his Sovietbuilt MIG plane in South Korea in 1953 to collect a $100,00 reward for the first MIG delivered to United Nations forces.

––––– ANNA — For two periods it looked as though Anna might keep Fort Loramie from a perfect league record. However, with the game on the line, the Lady Rockets couldn’t take care of the basketball and the Lady Redskins claimed a 5642 victory. Loramie finishes 12-0 in SCL play.

Sidney, Troy meet a 2nd time

BY KEN BARHORST kbarhorst@civitasmedia.com It was a an impressive win — a late rally in regulation, then a 10-1 run in overtime to post a 72-63 win.

That happened in the Sidney High gym back on Jan. 8 and gave the Yellow Jackets a victory over Troy.

But that was the last time the Jackets tasted victory, however, dropping eight in a row since that night, while the Trojans have won two of their five games since.

The two teams will tee it up again on Friday, this time at Troy, in Greater Western Ohio Conference North boys basketball action.

Sidney takes a 2-17 mark into the contest, with Troy at 3-15.

I thought both teams at dif-

ferent points played well,” said Sidney coach Greg Snyder of the first meeting between the two teams. “We made a couple of key plays to pull it out, and I assume this game will be the same. The key will be who executes the best, and we’re hoping our kids can do that.”

He recalled something else about that game.

“That’s one of the games that comes to mind where we really had a lot of intensity on defense,” Snyder said. “And there haven’t been many of those. Right now, our kids just want to win as many games as we can and are trying to find a way to do that.”

The Jackets will need to find a way to contain Troy’s Tyler Miller, who is averaging 15.3 points per game this season. He had 29 in the first

meeting with the Jackets.

“He’s a great player,” said Snyder. “He can score from anywhere and he’s good at getting to the line. He’s a tough matchup for us and when you go zone, you can’t lose him. We have to be very aware of where he is.”

Snyder said he’s also wary of Troy point guard Tre Hudson, who he says “has stepped up his game.”

The Jackets will be back in action Tuesday at home against a new opponent in the Urbana Hillclimbers, who are 13-5 heading into this weekend.

Of interest to the fans might be watching Urbana’s Tristan Singer, who is averaging 19.4 points per game.

Back on Jan. 4 against Greenon, Singer, a 6-foot-1 senior, scored 50 points, hit-

SIDNEY’S KONNER Harris lets a shot go Wednesday night at the high school in action against league-leading Troy. Harris had 15 points to help the Lady Jackets to a 54-50 victory.

Sidney girls play spoiler The Sidney High Lady Jackets played the spoiler role and got a measure of satisfaction Wednesday night in Greater Western Ohio Conference North Division play, beating Troy 54-50 to potentially knock the Lady Trojans into a tie for first place in the division.

Sidney lost to Troy the first time around in the middle of a three-game league stretch that cost the Lady Jackets a shot at the title.

Going into Wednesday’s game, Troy was holding a slim one-game lead over Greenville. Greenville was at Vandalia Wednesday.

Sidney goes to 5-4 in the North and 12-9 overall with the victory.

Troy is now 11-10 on the year.

Sidney led throughout, but didn’t do itself any favors at the free throw line, hitting just 7-for-17 from the stripe.

It wasn’t really settled until Konner Harris hit one of two free throws with eight seconds remaining to give the Lady Jackets a four-point lead.

Freshman Sylvia Hudson led the Lady Jackets in scoring with 16 and Harris had 15.

“Down the stretch we were missing free throws and extending the game,” said Sidney coach Megan Mummey.

“But it was an all-around team effort and that was the

ting 20-for-27 from the field.

Only one of those was a threepointer.

“That game kinda catapulted him,” Snyder said of Singer. “He’s a very good offensive threat. Urbana has played some good teams and has a good record. Hopefully, our home court will give us an advantage.”

The Jackets have lost backto-back close games, 60-54 to Wapak and 60-52 to Vandalia.

“We came close both games and the kids played very, very hard, especially considering the circumstances and what we went through. I thought they responded well,” Snyder said.

He was referring to leading scorer Tyree Manley’s mother passing away last week.

“We want to try and build on the effort we gave last week,” Snyder added.

COLUMBUS – Urban Meyer reached back to his days as a minor league baseball player to describe the football recruiting class Ohio State signed on Wednesday.

“Knocking it out of the park,” was the description OSU’s coach attached to the signing of 24 athletes to national letters of intent, including some who kept the Buckeyes in suspense until the final day.

“It was a great day. I thought it was going to be a very good day but I would put it in the great category,” Meyer said.

And he said that even before running back Ezekiel Elliott reaffirmed his commitment to Ohio State around 5 p.m.

“It was a very eventful day.

We went to bed last night with three guys we were very on edge about. I thought if we hit one out of three, it would be all right. Two out of three would be a good day and three out of three would be knock it out of the park,” Meyer said.

The three late-decision recruits who pushed signing day to great from very good were safety Vonn Bell, wide receiver James Clark and running back/wide receiver Dontre Wilson.

Bell, rated one of the top two safety prospects in the country, called Meyer to tell him of his decision just before going on ESPN at 10 a.m. to make his announcement.

Clark, who was recruited hard by Florida, revealed his plans at 9 a.m. and Wilson, a former Oregon commitment, said he was coming to OSU on Monday night.

Signing Bell gave Ohio State five players rated in rivals.com’s top 50 – linebacker Mike Mitchell (26), Bell (32), athlete Jalin Marshall (35), defensive back Cam Burrows (39) and defensive lineman Joey Bosa (47).

Ohio State’s class was a consensus No. 2 nationally when several of the major recruiting service rankings were averaged.

It’s a good challenge again. They came out and beat us up and really got after us the last time and that’s what I’m most impressed with about them — their toughness on defense.”

Houston The Wildcats got an extra day off last week with the County bye, but they ran into a strong Troy Christian team Saturday and lost at home.

“I thought we competed well for the most part,” said coach John Willoughby.

“They’re good and they just went on a couple runs and broke it open in the third quarter.”

The Wildcats take onRussia at home Friday, then travel to Riverside Saturday.

“We’re still trying to find some identity,” he said. “It’s frustrating. I still don’t think we understand what we are as a team. We’re just trying to get them to play hard and we’re looking forward to the tournament.”

He expects to see a zone.

“We had trouble with it last time and I think Paul will try it again,” he said. “And rebounding will be big for us. Russia always kills us on the offensive boards.”

Russia Russia has had to deal with injuries more than any other County team this season, but coach Paul Bremigan got some good news this week.

Trevor Sherman, out the last two games with an Achilles heel problem, took part in a full practice on Wednesday, so head coach Paul Bremigan is looking for playing time out of him Friday night when the Raiders visit Houston.

“We hope to get Trevor back some this week,” said the coach.

“We’ve had to bring some kids up from JV, and they’ve done a good job.

They’ve responded well and definitely proved they belonged.”

Treg Francis, the senior who led the Raiders in scoring before suffering a broken foot, may also be able to get back

before the season is over.

But Bremigan isn’t counting on it.

“There’s an outside chance, but he’s still in a walking boot,” he said.

“We’ll just have to wait and see.”

The Raiders beat Houston the first time but Bremigan says it will be a tough challenge going to the Wildcats’ gym.

“We were fortunate enough to get them here, but they’ve had some nice wins and they’ve got people that can score,” he said. “Defensively, there have been times when we’ve been suspect so it will be a challenge for us.”

The Raiders are at home to Newton Saturday and the Indians are coached by Steve Fisher, who coached at Sidney.

“He’s a good friend of mine,” said Bremigan.

Botkins The Botkins Trojans had a good weekend, beating Fort Loramie Friday, then leading New Bremen by 10 at the half before falling to the Cardinals, who a night earlier had upset No. 1-ranked St. Henry.

“We had a good second half against Loramie and a good first half against New Bremen,” said Botkins coach Brett Meyer. “We were down 12 or 14 to Loramie but we just kept plugging away and found a way to win.”

The Trojans have five games remaining in the regular season, one a makeup, and it’s resulted in a hectic schedule awaiting. Those five games will take place over a span of just nine days.

“It’s that time of the season and the kids just want to play, so it’ll be good for them,” said Meyer. “And there’s a week in between the season and the tournament.

We’ll just see where the chips fall in the draw.”

The Trojans travel to Fairlawn Friday.

Fairlawn is quick and athletic and they have another weapon out there in (Brad) Caudill,” said Meyer. “And they do a good job of capitalizing on turnovers. That’s what Bremen did to us.

So we have to take care of the ball.”

Sidney Daily News,Thursday, February 7, 2013

OSU Elliott, who Meyer called “our tailback of the future,” made Ohio State fans nervous by delaying his announcement until late in the day after making a recent visit to Missouri, where both of his parents were former athletes.

But Meyer said he was never concerned about getting Elliott’s signature on a letter of intent.

“There has never been an issue with Ezekiel,” he said after getting Elliott’s letter of intent.

Fifteen of Ohio State’s 24 recruits are defensive players. Thirteen are from out of state and

From Page 17 several are from areas where Ohio State made inroads into unfamiliar territory.

The only misses for the Buckeyes on signing day came when wide receiver Taivon Jacobs flipped to Maryland and punter Johnny Townsend went back on a verbal commitment to go with Alabama.

The Buckeyes’ coaches went head-tohead with the SEC to win several recruiting battles, including getting linebacker Trey Johnson and Bell out of Georgia.

They also scored big in Texas, where they got quarterback J.T. Barrett, Mitchell and Wilson – all

Meyer also mixed a little caution with his excitement. “It remains to be determined how this class will be remembered,” he said.

How it will be remembered will play out on football fields next year and beyond. But until then Wednesday will be remembered as one of Ohio State’s best signing days.

COUNTY Fort Loramie Head Loramie coach Karl Ratermann called it a step back from the way his Redskins had been playing.

The Redskins lost to Botkins and Marion Local, both on the road, last weekend to drop to 8-10 on the season.

“It was a step back.

I’m just hoping it was a short lapse. It was just that focus thing again.

But I think it’s just short term. The kids have come back this week and

From Page 17 worked hard.”

The Redskins host Jackson Center, which will be trying to avenge its only County setback of the season.

“I think beating them over there gives us confidence that we can play with them, but I’m just looking at taking it one game at a time. The County is out of reach and we have to finish strong.

That’s our biggest concern. But that was a great battle last time.”

Loramie to honor two championship teams FORT LORAMIE — Loramie High Fort School plans to honor two state championship teams Friday night between boys basketball games against Jackson Center.

The school will honor the 2002 girls state cross country champions as well as the 1993 boys state basketball champions.

The cross country team had an amazing record that season of 160-1, winning the County Preview, their own invitational, as well as those at Graham, Ohio Caverns, Cloverleaf and Coldwater. And they topped the regular season off by winning the County Meet.

Team members included Mallory (Albers) Pleiman, Megan (Meinerding) Geise, Lauren (Ernst) Grillot, Kiera (Goettemoeller) Sullivan, Morgan (Plattner) Nickolai, Elizabeth (Phlipot) Pleiman, Amanda Subler, Jackie (Reichert) Hoying, Julie (Seger) Goldschmidt, Abigail (Phlipot) Bensman and Nicole Pleiman.

School board OKs resignations, hirings

One-car crash The Port Jefferson Fire Department and the Ohio State Highway Patrol respond to a one-vehicle car crash in the 5000 block of Ohio 29 around 12:20 p.m. Wednesday. The driver of the vehicle was the only occupant. The driver was treated and released at the scene.

TAX The inside millage, he said, is unvoted millage, which doesn’t change.

“It doesn’t get rolled back,” said Watkins.

“With declining property values, it also doesn’t get rolled back up.”

Sidney resident Jeff Wagner questioned the board about putting a sales tax on the ballot.

He said Gov. John Kasich wants to reduce state income taxes and increase school funding.

He hopes the sales tax option will be one school districts will be able to consider.

“The sales tax is not a legal option for us,” said Watkins. “I think it would have to be countywide for school districts as I understand it.”

The board approved the adoption of a new math book for kindergarten through fifth grade for the district.

Virginia McClain, di-

From Page 4 rector of curriculum, gave a presentation about the changing math “common core standards,” which is being adopted across the United States.The standards provide a clear understanding of what students are expected to learn. Because of this, teachers and parents will know what to do to help the students.

She said the current math program supported by the Saxon Math Series doesn’t comply with the new changes.

The Saxon program, said McClain, is like a spiral where one lesson builds on the previous lesson and must be taught in order. The new common core standards have changed where some things should be taught in math. Because the Saxon Publishers they wouldn’t said

change their textbooks to comply with the new standards, McClain and a committee of teachers began looking for other textbook options.

After reviewing four textbooks, the committee decided “My Math” would be the best program to use in the district. Each book will cost $21. The publisher for the book is McGraw-Hill.

“If we find that something doesn’t work, or it needs to be changed, the company has said they will do that for the following year,” said McClain.

Principal Emerson Michael Epperly gave a PowerPoint presentation on activities held at the school since the beginning of the school year.

He said the school’s website has been updated.

All newsletters for the building can be accessed on the website.

Personnel items took up a majority of the Sidney City Schools Board of Education work session held Monday night at Emerson Elementary School.

The board, acting upon the recommendations of Superintendent John Scheu, accepted the resignations of Erika Brux, multidisability aide, effective Jan. 8; Candace Lawrence, bus/study hall aide, effective Jan. 28; Lynesa Wolfe, multidisability aide, effective Jan. 23; Jack Stephen Greggerson, substitute teacher, effective Jan. 4; and, Bill Shoffner, freshman football coach, effective Jan. 23.

• Cathy Metzer on a one-year, limited, as-needed contract as a longterm substitute speech therapist at $199.64 per day.

• Substitute aides Cindy Biddle, Alysha Orsborne and John Sammons at $10.22 per hour, on a one-year, asneeded contract.

• Substitute cook Deborah Puckett at $8.81 per hour, on a one-year, asneeded contract.

• Substitute custodian Brandon Matthieu at $12.26 per hour, on a one-year, as needed contract.

• Substitute secretaries Cindy Biddle and Alysha Orsborne at $12.34 per hour, on a one-year, as needed contract.

Employed the following teachers on one-year, limited, supplemental contracts for the Title I after-school program with salaries to be paid from the title I funds. They will be paid $25.29 per hour.

• Emerson: Diane Barber, Debbie Quillen, Eileen Ferree, Judith Shepherd, Larry Hoel and Ann Smith (substitute).

• Longfellow: Lee Ann Boller (substitute), Carolyn Liess, Julie Helman and Paula King.

• Whittier: Diane Cavinder, Brenda Spangler, Kris Masteller, Brenda Thompson (substitute) and Cheryl Niswonger.

The board also employed Chuck Westerbeck as junior varsity softball coach. He received a one-year, supplemental contract and will be paid $1,864.

An out-of-state trip was approved by the board for the Sidney High School Academia team, which will be competing at the University of Kentucky on March 2. The team has also qualified for two national tournaments, which will be held in May and June.

The board approved an application by the Shelby County Board of Developmental Disabilities for one individual student waiver due to exceeding class size at Shelby Hills Early Childhood Center. The application will be sent to the Ohio Department of Education for approval.

Steve Smith and Darrell Spangler, the board’s representatives to the Upper Valley Career Center Board of Education, told members the students are enjoying the new building at the school. The nursing program, which had been located in Troy, has been moved to the Piqua facility.

The board went into executive session to consider the employment of an employee and to discuss security arrangements or emergency response protocols of the district. No action was taken.

The board’s next meeting will be held Feb. 19 at 6 p.m. at the Board of Education building.

The toothbrush as a soldier

Keep your children’s smiles healthy by ensuring that they brush, floss, eat healthy foods, and visit the dentist regularly.

February is National Children’s Dental Health Month, sponsored by the American Dental Association. The ADA says that teaching your children how to defend their teeth against acid attacks is the best way to prevent tooth decay. When food particles are allowed to stay in the mouth and under the gums, the sugar in the food attracts bacteria and the mouth becomes acidic. These conditions cause an attack on the teeth that leads to decay.

Brushing twice a day is an important defense. After brushing the flat parts of the molars, hold the brush against the gums, massage it in a small circle, then brush downward for upper teeth and upward for lower teeth. Doing this all around the jaw helps get food particles out of the spaces between the teeth and gums. Provide a children’s toothpaste and be sure the child spits and rinses without swallowing any.

Once a day, a child’s teeth need to be flossed. Parents may need to floss younger children’s teeth, but it is a daily habit that, along with brushing, beats the bacteria and sugar attack. It will also help children avoid gum disease when they are older.

A healthy diet reduces the chances for sugars and bacteria to cause an acid attack.

Eating vegetables, fruit, grains, dairy, and lean meats also helps children develop strong teeth. Choosing snacks carefully is another solid tactic. Many seemingly healthy snacks have a high sugar content, so it is important to read nutrition labels on packaging. Even better, offer snacks such as milk, cheese, nuts, or fruits and vegetables as often as possible.

Last but not least, having regular checkups with the dentist is absolutely essential in preventing cavities and treating any problems that may arise.
