Since the organization’s rebirth in 1993, Wallace has been the president of its board of trustees and the face of the organization for 16 of the last 19 years. That, however, has now changed. 1B

STEUBENVILLE (AP) — Ohio Gov. John Kasich announced a plan to boost to broadband network speeds, introduced an award honoring courageous Ohioans and said shale drilling shouldn’t come at the expense of the environment in an annual State of the State speech mostly devoid of big initiatives. Kasich spoke for nearly 90 minutes in a rambling, unfocused address in the auditorium of a high-performing elementary school in Steubenville, picking a blue-collar town he said reminded him of his Pennsylvania hometown to take the speech outside Columbus for the first time in history. He said Ohio has come far from a year ago when it faced an estimated $8 billion budget hole and was ranked 48th nationally in job creation. The state now has money in its Rainy Day Fund once again and is the top job-creator in the Midwest, he said. “We just looked at the problems honestly,” said Kasich, a first-term Republican. “If you look at a problem and you see what it is, and you design a solution, it’s amazing how far you can go.” The broadband initiative he announced will use new technology to open up the state’s technology infrastructure, increasing speeds from 10 gigabits per second to 100. The Ohio Board of Regents said the state will invest $8.1 million to connect areas around the state with the faster network connections. He cited the broadband upgrade, aerospace breakthroughs taking place at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton, and collaborative research and development efforts in higher See KASICH/Page 4A

Central School demolition debated It will cost an estimated $150,000 to $250,000 to demolish Central Elementary School and for asbestos abatement at the vacant building, the Sidney City Board of Education learned at its meeting Monday night. Superintendent John Scheu presented information to the board regarding the potential cost of demolition and asbestos abatement. There was some discussion amongst the board regarding whether to demolish the building or to simply sell it at public auction. No decision was made during the meeting on the fate of the
building. There will be more discussion on the best route for both the school district and the city in the future. Scheu and Sidney High School Principal Gene Gooding presented information to the board on a survey focusing on the potential vocational-agriculture program that was recently sent to parents of students currently in grades 7 through 10. The potential vocational-agriculture program is still in the exploratory phase of the process. At one time, there was a vo-ag program but not since 1961. Both Scheu and
Gooding are speaking with local agricultural companies regarding partnerships and ideas for the potential program. If this program does move forward, it will begin in the 2013-14 school year. Scheu explained that Sidney City Schools is fortunate to be located in the Sidney/Shelby County area, as the community has a large agricultural industrial base, making vocational agriculture an ideal program for Sidney and Sidney High School, as there would be plenty of support from the community for students.

ST. MARYS — Larry Fledderjohann, 68, of 12093 Plattner Pike, died at 9:46 p.m., Monday, Feb. 6, 2012, at St. Rita’s Medical Center in Lima. He was born Oct. 5, 1943, in Lima, the son of Vernon and Gladys (Stroh) Fledderjohann. He married Paula Bubp on June 27, 1964, and she survives at the residence. He is also survived by his two sons, Mark (Shelly) Fledderjohann, of St. Marys, and Mike (Samantha Menke) Fledderjohann, of New Knoxville; by four Garet grandchildren, Fledderjohann, Calen Fledderjohann, Haydn Fledderjohann and Kamryn Fledderjohann; by his siblings, Linda (David) Michael, of Madison, Wis., Nancy Archer, of Sidney, and Jay (Dee) Fledderjohann, of New Knoxville; by a sister-in-law, Carol (Norval) Kohlhorst, of Maumee; and a brotherin-law, Gene (Eileen) Bubp, of Albuquerque, N.M. He is also survived by numerous nieces and nephews. Larry was preceded in death by his mother on Jan. 15, 2012, and his father had died previously. He was a 1961 graduate of New Knoxville High School. Larry was a lifelong farmer in the family dairy and later in partnership with his brother, Jay, in the Johann Acres Family Farm, assisted by his son Mike. He was a member of the Democratic Central
Committee since 1983 and a member of the Democratic Executive Committee since 1990. He served Auglaize County in a job he loved on the Board of Elections since 2003, and had just been unanimously re-elected to another term. He was Auglaize County Democrat of the Year in 2000. Larry enjoyed collecting milk bottles from local dairies of the past, as well as old tools, antiques and other interesting items. He served many years on the Zoning Board of Appeals.

Norma Gray Placke After gracefully living a full life, Norma Gray Placke, 94, of 1248 Rees Drive, left this world on the evening of Saturday, Feb. 4, in Hallandale, Fla., where she had been residing. Norma was born on Oct. 10, 1917, to Professor Walter Gray and Sadie Belle Riggs in Columbus, who preceded her in death. On Sept. 7, 1941, Norma married the love of her life, Harry Placke, also deceased, and together they were given the gifts of their children, Karlene (William) Thralls, of Hallandale, Fla., and Brian (Mary Bridget) Placke, of Akron. Norma loved to spend time with their grandchildren, Ashley (Drew) Bactel and Caitlin Placke, and was always quick to share photos of her greatgrandchildren, Weston and Sophia. A graduate of Ada High School, class of 1935, and Ohio Northern University with an AB and BS in Education, she continued her education with one summer at Columbia University working on her MA as well as taking courses at OSU’s Graduate School. Norma made the trek back to Ohio every summer to attend her class reunions. She taught physical education at Bellefontaine High School, the University High School in Columbus with an assistantship at OSU and Pemberton High School. The Plackes moved to Sidney on three different occasions as Harry’s businesses grew. Norma was very well known throughout the community as she was active in the Rotary Club and with positions she held at First Christian Church and most recently with St. John’s Lutheran Church.
The Girl Scouts organization was a passion for Norma and she spent many years volunteering her time with young girls. She worked with the scouts in Sidney Day Camp at Roadside Park in 1942 and at Camp Butterworth throughout the 1960s. She was a leader for 11 years. One of her fondest memories was that of the two summers she worked Day Camps in Columbus as the driver of the Girl Scouts Cookie station wagon. While she was in Sidney every summer, she loved to socialize with her friends playing bridge, poker and staying fit at the swimming pool. Norma continued to be an avid golfer into her late 70s and always smiled when she talked about how much she enjoyed dancing. Norma touched the lives of people throughout her life with compassion and wisdom. She will be sadly missed by all who knew her, but has been reunited with those who have gone before her in her heavenly home as she can once again dance. In addition to her parand husband, ents Norma was preceded in death by a brother, Clarence Gray, of Hallandale, Fla., and sisters, Zelda Weir, of Ashtabula, and Rhea Murphy, of Atlanta, Ga. In keeping with Norma’s wishes, her body will be cremated. A celebration of her life will be held at a later date, at the convenience of the family. Interment of her ashes will be at Glen Haven Memorial Gardens in New Carlisle. Arrangements are in the care of Cromes Funeral Home and Crematory, 302 S. Main Ave.
CENTRAL Gooding summarized the survey results and explained that a letter was sent home to parents. Fifty-one of the respondents to the survey said they would be interested in vo-ag for their child and would allow their child to participate in the program.

Gingrich stresses Catholic rights BY PHILIP ELLIOTT Associated Press CINCINNATI (AP) — Newt Gingrich thrust the reproductive rights issue into the GOP campaign spotlight on Tuesday, criticizing both Mitt Romney and President Barack Obama’s records on requiring Catholic organizations to provide contraceptive aids in some circumstances. Rick Santorum vowed to make the issue a central part of his struggling campaign. Gingrich, a Catholic, told GOP voters in swing-state Ohio that Obama had declared war on the Catholic Church. He and his GOP rivals have blasted the administration’s new regulation requiring church-affiliated employers to cover birth control for their workers. Some Catholics say the rule would force Catholic institutions to violate their religious convictions. Romney also has criticized the Obama policy, but Gingrich said Romney was no better than Obama
on the issue. “There’s been a lot of talk about the Obama administration’s attack on the Catholic church,” he said at Price Hill Chili restaurant in Cincinnati. “Well, the fact is, Gov. Romney insisted that Catholic hospitals give out abortion pills, against their religious beliefs, when he was governor.” In late 2005, Romney required all Massachusetts hospitals, including Catholic ones, to provide emergency contraception to rape victims. Some Catholics say the so-called morningafter pill is a form of abortion. Romney ignored Gingrich’s criticism while speaking to voters in Loveland, Colo., focusing instead on Obama’s “assault on religion — an assault on the conviction and religious beliefs on members of our society.” He said the administration’s recent ruling on contraception was “a real blow … to our friends in the Catholic faith” and likened “morning-after pills” to “abortive pills.”
Law covering exotic animals considered STEUBENVILLE (AP) — An Ohio lawmaker’s proposal to regulate exotic animals in the state is not ready for introduction this week. Republican state Sen. Troy Balderson of Zanesville sent a letter to fellow senators last week, asking them to support his bill. He planned to introduce it Tuesday. But Balderson told The Associated Press on Tuesday that parts of the legislation are still being drafted. He says legislating on a “knee-jerk reaction” is unwise, and that he does not want to introduce an unpolished bill.
Abortion, birth control grab spotlight BY CHARLES BABINGTON Associated Press DAYTON (AP) — Political turmoil over abortion and birth control spread suddenly on Tuesday. A high-ranking official resigned from the Komen breast-cancer charity after its backtracking treaty with Planned Parenthood, and Republican presidential candidates blistered the Obama administration for a recent ruling on Catholic hospitals and contraception. The White House made a point of declaring it wanted to ease the concerns of church-affiliated employers — many would be required to provide birth control coverage to their workers under the new rules — but there was no word on how those concerns might be addressed. The two-track drama pumped new furor into longstanding disputes that sometimes take a backseat in political campaigns because the lines are so familiar and firmly drawn. Last week’s Komen-Planned Parenthood dispute stirred many women’s groups that support legal abortion. And the Obama ruling touched a nerve with moderate Roman Catholics who support contraceptives but also defend their church’s right to run its hospitals and other institutions according to religious convictions. Republican presidential candidates pounced on what they considered a blunder by President Barack Obama. They believe his administration’s ruling will alienate moderate Catholic voters who could prove crucial in November in Ohio, Pennsylvania and elsewhere. There also could be political repercussions from the Susan G. Komen for the Cure controversy. The breast-cancer charity, facing fierce criticism,
mostly from women’s groups, quickly overturned its decision to cut off funding to Planned Parenthood. Planned Parenthood is a major provider of abortions, but it also screens women for breast cancer and other health problems.
In Atlanta, Karen Handel, a Komen vice president who played a role in the fund cutoff decision, resigned Tuesday. A Republican who ran for governor in Georgia, Handel was seen by some as an example of what they felt was an increasing ten-
dency by Komen to bring partisan politics into the charity’s decisions. “I am deeply disappointed by the gross mischaracterizations of the strategy, its rationale and my involvement in it,” Handel said in her resignation letter.

OHIO GOV. John Kasich delivers his State of the State address at Wells Academy/Steubenville High School Tuesday in Steubenville. The first-term Republican made his plea for legislators to put politics aside and focus on what’s good for Ohio in his State of the State address.

education as among avenues for economic growth. “If we can train, educate, forecast, use our location, use our great people, use our resource, our assets, we’ll be number one in America, we’ll be the most powerful state in America,” he said. “I have no doubt. We have the scale, the size, and everything that we need.” Kasich said he has asked Ohio State University President E. Gordon Gee to lead an effort among universities to dovetail resources and come up with ways to increase the state’s college graduation rates. After the speech, Gee said university leaders are set to meet with the governor in a week to discuss their proposal. “In the end, we’ve got to start thinking about Ohio and Ohio higher education as an ecological system, not as a series of speedboats out there racing around each other,” Gee said. Sen. Mike Skindell, a Cleveland-area Democrat, said that while he supports collaboration among the universities, he questioned Gee’s role. “To have the president of Ohio State lead that effort is kind of self-serving,” Skindell said. Kasich’s new “Governor’s Courage Awards” honored a woman who lost her son to prescription painkiller addiction, another woman who survived being a victim of human trafficking to become a social worker, and the family of a soldier killed in Afghanistan. The governor touted progress in his war on prescription painkiller abuse and received a standing ovation when he said he would declare a similar war on behalf of 1,000 Ohio teenagers who have been coopted into prostitution. He also said the state needs to allow felons who have served their time to work certain jobs such as cutting hair or driving trucks that are currently offlimits. State Sen. Bill Seitz, a Cincinnati Republican, said he supports the so-called collateral sanctions proposal — one of the few legislative initiatives he heard in the speech. He called it “an uplifting and accurate recitation” of Kasich’s first-year accomplishments and Ohio’s assets. “Where I thought it was a little short, unlike traditional State of the State speeches, was on any specific legislative agenda that he wants us to pursue,” Seitz said.

Missing mom killed? OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) — Utah authorities have for at least six months investigated the disappearance of Susan Powell as a murder case. But without a body, they publicly held out hope that she would be found alive. So what evidence did they have that the mother of two was dead? And was there anything to identify her killer? There was the damp spot on the floor in their Utah home and a curious latenight camping trip described by her husband. There were also the recollections of their young son Braden about a camping trip and his mother being “in the trunk.” That could strike some as a clue, or the ramblings of a boy who was then just 2. For authorities in Utah, none of it was enough to bring charges.
Embargo 50 years old HAVANA (AP) — When it started, American teenagers were doing “The Twist.” The United States had yet to put a man into orbit around the Earth. And a first-class U.S. postage stamp cost 4 cents. The world is much changed since the early days of 1962, but one thing has remained constant: The U.S. economic embargo on communist-run Cuba, a near-total trade ban that turned 50 on Tuesday. Supporters say it is a justified measure against a repressive government that has never stopped being a thorn in Washington’s side. Critics call it a failed policy that has hurt ordinary Cubans instead of the government. All acknowledge that it has not accomplished its core mission of toppling Fidel and Raul Castro.
Caught in dispute CAIRO (AP) — Americans facing trial in Egypt over activities of their prodemocracy groups have been caught in a dispute between the U.S. government and Egypt over aid, a lawyer representing the Americans said Tuesday. In a measure of the depth of the tensions, an Egyptian government delegation abruptly canceled meetings in Washington with U.S. lawmakers set for Monday and Tuesday, after angry American officials warned the clash could jeopardize around $1.5 billion in annual foreign aid to Egypt.

Romney battles Santorum, Paul in GOP caucuses BY PHILIP ELLIOTT Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — Republican front-runner Mitt Romney battled Rick Santorum and Ron Paul on Tuesday in political caucuses in Minnesota and Colorado, hoping to extend his winning streak in the race for the presidential nomination. Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich mounted no significant campaign in either state, looking ahead to primaries elsewhere. Romney prevailed in both Minnesota and Colorado in 2008, the first time he ran for the nomination, but the GOP has become more conservative in both states since then under the influence of tea party activists. There were 37 Republican National Convention delegates at stake in Minnesota and 33 more in Colorado. In addition, Missouri held a non-binding primary on Tuesday. The state picks its delegates at caucuses next month. Santorum, a former Pennsylvania senator, campaigned aggressively in all three states, seeking a breakthrough to revitalize a campaign that has struggled since his narrow first-place finish in the Iowa caucuses a month ago. Paul, a Texas lawmaker, has yet to win a primary or caucus. He arrived at a caucus site in Coon Rapids, Minn., in early evening to shake hands with early arrivers, and had to

Russia pushes Syria Appeals court throws out same-sex marriage ban reforms as bloodshed mounts BY LISA LEFF Associated Press
BY ELIZABETH A. KENNEDY Associated Press BEIRUT (AP) — Days after blocking a U.S.-backed peace plan at the U.N., senior Russian officials pushed for reforms Tuesday during an emergency meeting with Syrian President Bashar Assad, promoting a settlement to end the uprising without removing him from power. Thousands of flag-waving government supporters cheered the Russians in the Syrian capital of Damascus, while to the north, Assad’s forces pounded the opposition city of Homs — underscoring the sharp divisions propelling the country toward civil war. The violence has led to the most severe international isolation in more than four decades of Assad family rule, with country after country calling home their envoys. France, Italy, Spain and Belgium pulled their ambassadors from Damascus, as did six Gulf nations, including Saudi Arabia. Germany, whose envoy left the country this month, said he would not be replaced. The moves came a day after the U.S. closed its embassy in Syria and Britain recalled its ambassador. Turkey, once a strong Assad supporter and now one of his most vocal critics, added its voice to the international condemnation, with Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan saying his country cannot remain silent about massacres in Syria. He said Turkey would “launch a new initiative with countries that stand by the Syrian people instead of the regime.”
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Same-sex marriage moved one step closer to the Supreme Court on Tuesday when a federal appeals court ruled California’s ban unconstitutional, saying it serves no purpose other than to “lessen the status and human dignity” of gays. A three-judge panel of the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals gave gay marriage opponents time to appeal the 2-1 decision before ordering the state to allow same-sex weddings to resume. “I’m ecstatic. I recognize that we have a ways to go yet. We may have one or two more legal steps,” said Jane Leyland, who was gathered with a small crowd outside the federal courthouse in downtown San Francisco, cheering as they learned of the ruling. Leyland married her longtime partner, Terry Gilb, during the five-month window
when same-sex marriage was legal in California. “But when we first got together, I would have never dreamed in a million years that we would be allowed to be legally married, and here we are.” The ban known as Proposition 8 was approved by voters in 2008 with 52 percent of the vote. The court said it was unconstitutional because it singled out a minority group for disparate treatment for no compelling reason. The justices concluded that the law had no purpose other than to deny gay couples marriage, since California already grants them all the rights and benefits of marriage if they register as domestic partners. “Had Marilyn Monroe’s film been called ‘How to Register a Domestic Partnership with a Millionaire,’ it would not have conveyed the same meaning as did her famous movie, even though the underlying drama for same-sex couples is no different,” the court said.

Class covers Occupy movement CHICAGO (AP) — A Chicago college is offering a class on the Occupy movement. Thirty-two undergraduate students are enrolled at Roosevelt University’s “Occupy Everywhere” class. It’s a three-credit political science course that looks at the movement that started last summer near New York City’s Wall Street and spread nationwide. The Chicago Sun-Times reports students’ assignments include reading the movement’s newspaper and attending Occupy Chicago’s general assembly meetings held near Roosevelt’s downtown campus. Leaders from the Chicago movement may present guest lectures.
Komen exec quits after Planned Parenthood flap BY RAY HENRY Associated Press ATLANTA (AP) — A vice president at the Susan G. Komen for the Cure resigned Tuesday, saying the breast cancer charity should have stood by its politically explosive decision to cut off funding for Planned Parenthood. Karen Handel, a Republican who opposed abortion as a candidate for Georgia governor, said she was actively engaged in efforts to cut off the grants and said the charity’s reversal hurt its core mission. “I am deeply disappointed by the gross mischaracterizations of the strategy, its rationale, and my involvement in it,” Handel said in her letter. “I openly acknowledge my role in the matter and continue to believe our decision was the best one for Komen’s future and the women
we serve.” The grants, totaling $680,000 last year, went to breast-screening services offered by Planned Parenthood, which provides a range of women’s health care services including abortions. Under criteria developed by Komen during Handel’s tenure, Planned Parenthood would have been disqualified from future grants because it was under a congressional investigation launched at the urging of anti-abortion activists. Komen, the nation’s largest breast-cancer charity, reversed course after its decision ignited a three-day firestorm of criticism. Members of Congress and Komen affiliates accused the group’s national leadership of bending to pressure from antiabortion activists. “Neither the decision nor the changes themselves were based
on anyone’s political beliefs or ideology,” Handel said in her resignation letter. “Rather, both were based on Komen’s mission and how to better serve women, as well as a realization of the need to distance Komen from controversy.” Handel said the discussion had started before she arrived at the organization last year. She said the charity was concerned that some Roman Catholic Dioceses had encouraged believers not to give to Komen because it supported Planned Parenthood. “I was tasked with identifying options that would allow us to move to neutral ground about this so we weren’t on either side of you know, pro-life, pro-choice,” Handel said. Komen Founder and CEO Nancy G. Brinker said she accepted Handel’s resignation and wished her well.

Lehman Catholic High School vocal music students offer “singing valentines.” Interested individuals can send a musical greeting to their valentines and simultaneously support the Lehman Catholic Music Department. The Lehman Limelighters, the school’s top performing group, will prepare and deliver the singing valentines. The Limelighters are prerecording 20-second sound bites of three different songs. The customer chooses one of the three songs and a member of the Limelighters will call the recipient and play the pre-
recorded song. The songs being prepared and recorded by the group are “You Are My Sunshine,” “Can You Feel the Love Tonight” and “Can’t Help Falling in Love.” The cost is $3 for the first valentine, and $2 each for any additional calls. Customers can include a personal message for the caller to include at the time the call is made. The Limelighters are orders now taking through Friday. Singing Valentines will be delivered on Monday and Tuesday. “Our students really enjoyed this project last year,” said Jacque Jenkinson, the school’s new
vocal director. “I am looking forward to making the recordings this week and having the students make the calls,” said Jenkinson. “For less money than musical cards available in retail outlets, the Limelighters can provide a personal touch when we call your special someone.” Order forms are available in the main office at Lehman Catholic. The office is open from 7:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. on school days. Information and orders can also be placed by contacting Elaine Schweller-Snyder at 498-1161, ext. 132, or by email at e.snyder@lehmancatholic.com.

Last week, the Senate I want to see us go further. passed the Stop Trading on Why should senators vote on Congressional Knowledge issues that affect the oil indus(STOCK) Act, which clarifies that insider-trading laws apply try while owning oil company stock — or vote on issues that to members of Congress as they do to people in the rest of affect prescription drugs when the country. The STOCK Act is they own stock in pharmaceutical companies? The concept is a common-sense, bipartisan measure that prohibits insider simple: Senators should not be voting on issues that affect trading by members of Con-
their financial investments. Right now, committees like the Senate Armed Services Committee (SASC) require that staff members, their spouses and dependents divest themselves of any stock in companies doing business with the Department of Defense and the Department of Energy. Federal regulations and federal criminal law also prohibit Executive Branch employees, their spouses, and children from owning stock in companies that they regulate. However, that prohibition is not extended to members of Congress — the same ones who make laws that affect publicly traded companies. That’s not right. That’s why I authored and introduced the Putting the People’s Interests First Act, which would require that members of Congress divest themselves from their stock holdings. It would extend to senators the conflict-of-interest rules that currently apply to committee staff and executive branch officials. Members of the Senate should hold them-
selves to the same standard that they require of others. Under my legislation, members of the Senate and their staff would be prohibited from owning individual stock in companies affected by their official duties. The only investments senators would be able to have are ones managed by others — in blind trusts or broad-based mutual funds. Members would still be permitted to keep ownership interests in their family farm or small business. While this bill won’t win me any popularity contests with my colleagues, I believe that it’s the right thing to do. The trust that the American people have in Congress is at an alltime low. Members of the House and the Senate must demonstrate to the public that their focus is on rebuilding the economy, not their stock portfolios. Support for this concept runs across party lines. When asked about the requirement to divest, President George W. Bush’s Deputy Secretary of Defense, Gordon England,
said: “I think Congress should live by the rules they impose on other people.” Former Defense Secretary William J. Perry, who served under President Bill Clinton, said that divesting his holdings prior to becoming Secretary of Defense: “was very painful, but I do not disagree with the importance of doing this. The potential for corruption is very high. It keeps our government clean.” Earlier this month, President Obama said in his State of the Union address: “Let’s limit any elected official from owning stocks in industries they impact.” I agree — and that’s why I wrote the Putting the People’s Interests First Act. Public service is a privilege — there’s no reason that members of Congress need to buy and sell stocks in multimillion dollar portfolios. I’ve called on my fellow senators to join me in implementing these common-sense ethical regulations. This is one small step that Congress can take to restore the American people’s trust in their elected officials.

ONU honors Dicke family with Pinnacle awards The James F. Dicke College of Business Administration at Ohio Northern University honors the Dicke family with inaugural Pinnacle Awards ADA — The Ohio Northern University James F. Dicke College of Business Administration has honored James F. Dicke Sr., chairman of Crown emeritus Equipment Corp. in New Bremen, and his son, James F.

Dicke II
Advisers Inc., and former ONU faculty members Roger Young and Roger Goldberg were the recipients of the prestigious Pinnacle Award, which honors individuals who have made the highest commitment to the business college. “We wanted an avenue to publicly say ‘thank you’ to the people who have made significant and sustained gifts
to the college,” said James Fenton, dean of The James F. Dicke College of Business Administration. “Through their generosity, they’ve had a tremendous and transformative impact on our students and the business college generally.” The College of Business Administration erected a sculpture on the ground floor of Dicke Hall for Pinnacle Award recipients. The contemporary display, designed and crafted by Audra Keiber of American Trim in Lima, incorporates architectural features and colors found throughout the Dicke building. Constructed of mixed materials, including copper, aluminum and stainless
steel, the display stands as a public and enduring testament to the individuals who have reached a pinnacle in their generosity and service to the college. Dicke Sr. was born in January 1922 and raised in Dayton. He attended Ohio Northern University in the early 1940s before joining the U.S. Army Air Corps during World War II. After the war, Dicke Sr. returned to Ohio and started Crown Controls Co. Inc. in 1945 with his father and other family members. When his father died in 1952, Dicke was left with full responsibility of the company, which soon moved to the manufacture of small
Chamber announces annual meeting NEW BREMEN — The Southwestern Auglaize County Chamber of Commerce will hold its annual meeting Feb. 21 at 11:30 a.m. in the fellowship hall at Faith Alliance Church. “Along with our usual annual report and look ahead to 2012, we plan to honor a few chamber members with the first ever SWAC Chamber Awards,” said Scott Frey, executive director. “We have wanted to develop a few chamber business awards to recognize the accomplishments of various chamber members. We have three awards to
give out this year.” The chamber will hand out the following awards: “Outstanding Business Person,” “the Community and Business Pride Award” and the “Special Achievement Award.” “It is important to recognize the individuals and organizations who do such good work in our communities,” Frey said. “This year, the board developed the criteria and selected the award winners. Next year we’ll pass this along to the entire membership for nomination and vote. Hopefully the members
will also look to develop a few additional awards.” Frey noted that the keynote speaker for the meeting will be Angela Hamberg, economic development director for the village of New Bremen. “Angela has been leading the West Central Ohio Workforce Development Initiative,” Frey said. “She will discuss the various projects the group is working on to help qualified workers get connected with the good manufacturing jobs we have available in the area.” Anyone interested in attending the luncheon can contact the chamber
at (419) 629-0313 or send an email to info@auglaize.org. The cost for the event is $20 and includes lunch catered by Perfect Party Catering. The annual meeting luncheon is sponsored once again by chamber member NK Telco. “As a nonprofit organization, it is important to have strong partnerships with our members,” Frey said. “We’re grateful to NK Telco, Perfect Party Catering and Faith Alliance Church for their assistance with this year’s annual meeting.”

From Page 1 budget reductions. Port Jefferson’s total 2012 rate will be $2.51 per 100 cubic feet, an overall rate decrease of 14.6 percent from $2.94 last year. Ginger Gehret, geographic information system coordinator, discussed proposed amendments to the city’s traffic code involving Sidney Middle School and Central Elementary School. The ordinances, slated for introduction at council’s Feb. 13 meeting, would change “no turn on red” hours at the Fair Road/Chase Avenue intersection to from 6:30 a.m. to 8 a.m. and 2 p.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Friday. Current hours are listed as 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. Because the school district has closed Central Elementary School, “right
turn on red” would be reinstated at the intersection of Miami Avenue and Poplar Street. Gehret also said future traffic map changes could include elimination of the Main Avenue and Poplar Street traffic light and possible signage and traffic-control devices used for Lowell and Parkwood Elementary schools. Monday night’s final presentation was made by Jones, who outlined goals of a strategic plan being developed for Sidney’s Department of Fire & Emergency Services. Prior to adjournment, agendas for the Feb. 13 and 27 council legislative meetings and the Feb. 21 meetings of the Planning Commission and Zoning Board of Appeals were reviewed for council.

reduced-load bridges on Park Street and one on Jefferson Street, the consultant also lowered the load limit on the Michigan Street CSX Railroad bridge. After inspecting superstructure, Clark said the engineer found structural problems with the bridge’s deck and beams that have reduced its load capacity by 15 percent. Reducedload-limit signs have been posted. The public works director said the city has applied for ODOT bridge replacement funds, which would not be awarded until 2016. The new structure would be designed in 2014, bid in 2015 and completed in 18 months. Cost is estimated at $1.2 million. The engineer’s estimate for the project is $1.45 million. Clark said a grant application of $878,240 is being prepared and the city’s costs would total $567,560. Other bridges with reduced-load ratings include Park Street (75 percent) and Jefferson Street (90 percent). The Chestnut Avenue bridge was closed to traffic in 2000. Fire Chief Brad Jones joined the discussion to report all local fire apparatus, with the exception of the aerial ladder truck, are within the railroad bridge’s new load limit. Clark also discussed a proposed ordinance that would eventually assess the actual cost of the city’s 2011 sidewalk construction and repair program. He said an ordinance adopting the program will be introduced during council’s Feb. 13 legislative meeting. Code Enforcement Officer Kirby King discussed proposed amendments to the city’s weed ordinance, including extended enforcement from March 1 to Dec. 31. Placards would be placed and written compliance notices mailed. Fees would be $50, $75 and $100 for first, second and third offenses. Brian Schultz, wastewater plant superintendent, discussed 2012 sewer treatment rates for the village of Port Jefferson, effective March 1. The city treats the village’s wastewater, maintains both sewer system and pump station and bills customers for the service. He said treatment rates for 2012 will decrease from $1.58 per 100 cubic foot to $1.23 per Ccf because city sewage flows increased, reducing operating costs. Management rates will also decrease from $1.36 Ccf to $1.28 due to lower operating costs because of reduced staff and deferred maintenance with

Jets upset Indians 61-58 MECHANICSBURG — The Fairlawn Jets came out on fire, held on down the stretch, and upset Mechanicsburg on the road Tuesday in non-league high school boys basketball action, 61-58. Gillem The win gives the Jets a 5-13 record heading to Houston Friday night in County play. Mechanicsburg falls to 11-6 on the year. The Jets’ Trey Everett drained Wells a three-pointer to open the scoring, and that set the tone for the first quarter. The Jets torched the nets and rolled to a 22-4 bulge after eight minutes of play. They then played the Indians on even terms in the second quarter for a 16-point lead at the half, and were still up by a dozen heading to the final period. “Our defense was stifling tonight,” said Fairlawn coach Derek Alexander. “We did some creative things on defense and it worked against them.” Fairlawn’s 6-foot-5 Travis Wells keyed the defensive effort. He not only pulled down 12 rebounds, but also blocked six shots to go with scoring eight points. “Travis played an amazing defensive game,” said Alexander. “He’s 6-5 and he was causing some problems down inside.” The Jets struggled at the free throw line, hitting just 11 of 25, and that allowed the Indians to get back in it in the final period. In fact, with just 1:20 remaining in the game, Mechanicsburg took a
two-point lead. But Anthony Gillem connected right away to knot the game up, and the Jets were able to regain the lead and hit some free throws down the stretch. Gillem finished with 26 points to lead the Jets, and Everett added 16. “This was a good win for us,” said Alexander. “A real confidence-booster. It’s nice to get back in the win column.” The Jets were again without Cole Cummings, who has been battling sickness for several weeks.

Pierce passes Bird BOSTON (AP) — Paul Pierce passed Larry Bird for No. 2 on the Celtics’ career scoring list, finishing with 15 points as Boston increased its winning streak to five straight with a 94-84 victory over the Charlotte Bobcats on Tuesday night. Pierce needed nine points to tie Bird’s total of 21,791. He had seven points at halftime, then hit a 3-pointer with 10:23 left in the third quarter to pass Bird. Pierce nearly celebrated the milestone with a tripledouble, coming up just short with nine assists and eight rebounds. Rajon Rondo added 14 assists and 10 points, Kevin Garnett scored 22 and Ray Allen finished with 17 points. Reggie Williams scored 21 for the Bobcats, who lost their 12th straight despite staying within 11 points through the first three quarters. Cory Higgins added 20 points and Kemba Walker had 16 points and seven assists for the Bobcats.
The outcome never seemed in doubt and fans focused on Pierce making history for a franchise loaded with it. There was no announcement — or need for one — as everyone seemed to know what Pierce’s shot from the top of the key meant in addition to giving the Celtics a 48-40 lead early in the third quarter. Pierce knew he had it, raising his arms as Boston fans gave him a standing ovation. The applause lasted for several minutes as teammate Garnett waved the crowd on for more. The official announcement finally came during a time out with 5:14 left in the third and Pierce went to midcourt, blew a few kisses and bowed during another round of applause. There was one more when Pierce went to the bench with 3:57 left in the period. Pierce still has a ways to go to become the Celtics all-time leading scorer. John Havlicek holds that mark with 26,395 points.

Monday Sidney girls rout Greenville GREENVILLE — The Sidney High girls apparently felt they had something to prove Monday night in Greater Western Ohio Conference North basketball action here. Back on Jan. 28, the Lady Jackets were expecting a victory when a Greenville team with only one win came to the Sidney gym — but left with a 53-47 victory. On Monday, it was a totally different story on Greenville’s floor, the Lady Jackets using a big second quarter to roll to a 62-35 victory over the Lady Green Wave. The win puts Sidney at 2-6 in the North and 3-15 overall. Greenville is now 1-8 and 316. “Coming into the game we were outsized and needed to do a good job rebounding,” said Sidney coach Megan Mummey. “We did a fantastic job on the boards and only gave them one shot. We had a
tough loss to Piqua on Saturday and I wasn’t sure how we would bounce back. But we did what we needed to do.” Konner Harris continued to Harris impress coming back from a serious knee injury. She poured in 27 points to lead all scorers. “Konner did a great job of getting to the rim,” said Mummey. “She really stepped up big offensively.” Lauren Elmore added 10 points for Sidney, which plays at 12-6 Troy Wednesday. Sidney (62) Foy 1-0-2; Harris 10-4-27; McBride 1-3-5; Hanayik 2-1-7; Elmore 4-2-10; Perrin 1-0-2; Wise 0-1-1; Sturwold 40-8. Totals: 23-12-62.

Wade leads Heat over Cavs MIAMI (AP) — Dwyane Wade scored 26 points, LeBron James added 24 against his former team and the Miami Heat tuned up for a long road trip by beating the Cleveland Cavaliers 107-91 on Tuesday night. Chris Bosh finished with 15 points for the Heat, who have won 11 of their last 13 games. Mario Chalmers and Udonis Haslem each scored 14 for Miami, which starts a stretch of five road games in seven nights at Orlando on Wednesday, then caps the trip
with a visit to Cleveland on Feb. 17. Antawn Jamison scored 25 points and had nine rebounds for Cleveland, which got 17 from Alonzo Gee, and 16 points, six rebounds and six assists from Kyrie Irving. Anderson Varejao had 11 points and 11 rebounds for the Cavaliers, who were within a point late in the third and then missed 17 of their next 19 shots. Miami's lead was only 7372 before the Heat put together their best stretch of the
night, with Wade making consecutive baskets to push the lead out to 92-78 midway through the fourth. Wade crossed his dribble over and sealed it with a down-the-lane dunk with just under 2 minutes left, and the Cavs emptied the bench moments later. Facing a number of injury issues, Cleveland had only 11 players in uniform for the game. Daniel Gibson (neck infection), Tristan Thompson (sprained left ankle) and Anthony Parker (strained lower back) were not with the club.

Big Ten exploring 4-team BCS playoff LARRY LAGE AP Sports Writer The Big Ten, which helped squash the notion of a four-team playoff to crown a national champion in college football several years ago, is taking another look. BCS Executive Director Bill Hancock said Tuesday night that’s good news. “Our process is working perfectly,” Hancock said. “One of good things about our process is that there’s no timetable so that a deliberate and thoughtful decision can be reached. “The tricky part is our 11 conference commissioners and the Notre Dame AD may have 12 different opinions about the direction we should go over the next six to eight months.” Hancock, who still expects a conclusion in July, said the group of BCS decision-makers will meet again at the end of this month. Michigan State athletic director Mark Hollis said all of the Big Ten athletic directors are comfortable exploring the possibility of a four-team playoff. “Four is better than two,” Hollis said. Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith agreed and said the discussions stem from feedback “that we need to do something different,” especially after the recent BCS title game between LSU and Alabama drew lower ratings that other championship games.
“Four years ago, five of us didn’t want to have the conversation. Now we all want to have the conversation.” Jim Delaney Big Ten Commissioner “The fans have been loud and clear,” Smith said. “We also recognize that structurally there’s things that we want to try and change with the bowl system ‚— how teams get in the bowls. It’s time to be curious about everything.” The BCS title game pits the nation’s top two teams based on poll and computer rankings. The Chicago Tribune reported Monday that one idea before the Big Ten calls for playing the two semifinal games on the campuses of the higher seeded teams, with the national championship held in a city awarded hosting rights — like the Super Bowl. The so-called plus-one format — two semifinals plus the title game — was proposed in 2008 by the commissioners of the Southeastern Conference and Atlantic Coast Conference. It was shot down by the leaders of the Big Ten, Pac-10, Big East, Big 12 and Notre Dame. “I am pleased to hear there is renewed interest in the plus-one format, the same format we introduced for consideration in 2008,” SEC Commissioner Mike Slive said in a statement
to the AP. “There are many details that need to be considered and it is premature to be campaigning for any particular plus-one model.” The 11 Bowl Championship Series conferences have already met to discuss possible changes to the system starting in 2014. NCAA President Mark Emmert has said he supports a four-team championship playoff and is strongly against a 16-team format. Emmert has also said there has been talk of using a Final Four model, a scenario which could have matched LSU against Stanford and Alabama versus Oklahoma State this season, with the winners advancing to the title game. Despite the Big Ten’s interest in a playoff, there is at least one big hurdle: The Rose Bowl, with its storied history to two of the nation’s biggest conferences. “The Rose Bowl is extremely important to Michigan State just as it is to every school in the Big Ten and Pac12,” Hollis said. “There are more questions than answers about how any format would work, including where the games would be played and what the bowl-type experiences would be like in a championship format. “My eyes are always open to explore all opportunities, but I don’t think we want to exceed 15 games.” Michigan athletic director Dave Brandon, who is open to any option that includes keeping the conference and Pac-12 tied to the Rose Bowl, said he’s not sure the plus-one model will
please everybody. “I know a lot of people would love to see one more great football game, but I’m not sure this type of playoff will make it more fair,” Brandon said. “At some point, you have to draw the line. With four teams, there will be controversies about who those four teams should be because it’s usually not clear.” Smith said there are too many bowl games, lagging ticket sales and teams are already playing “too deep into January” with players who happen to be students, too. He had reservations about a playoff where students play back to back games. Still, he said there was a need to discuss the format now. “This is the window of time before we go and do something with another partner, or current partner, we don’t want to just do the same thing without trying to address some of those issues,” he said. “But if we ended up with a plus-one playoff, it would be exciting for fans but there’s a lot of issues around it.” Hancock has said 50 to 60 possibilities for various changes were presented during a meeting in New Orleans, where Alabama beat LSU in the BCS title game last month. Big Ten Commissioner Jim Delany, who declined comment Tuesday, has acknowledged he would consider the prospect of a four-team field. “Four years ago, five of us didn’t want to have the conversation,” Delany told reporters last month. “Now we all want to have the conversation.”
Houston cross country standout Roeth to run for Ohio University HOUSTON — Houston senior Allison Roeth has signed letter of intent Tuesday to run for Ohio University for the next four years. T h e daughter of Roeth Roger and Sharon Roeth leads by example both in — and outside — the classroom. She is not only one of the top runners in the state in both cross country and track — but a scholar in the classroom as well. “She is just a great kid,” Houston cross
country coach Sandy Heitkamp said. “She is easy to coach. She does whatever you ask. She has a great work ethic. You have to give her parents a lot of credit for that and instilling that in her. I think it is one of the things that makes her so successful.” And as the crowd in the Houston High School commons showed — many of her teachers and Houston students were on hand to see her sign — she is absolutlely a role model. And for those who have had Roeth run far in front of them in races over the years — and
there are many — they can blame that on her brother Tyler, who now runs for the University of Dayton after a successful career at Houston. “I guess I got started running because my brother (Tyler, who is one year older) did it,” Roeth said with a smile. “I liked to do what my brother did and he ran, so I ran.” In cross country, she had three top 15 finishes at the Division III state cross country meet. She took 13th in 2009 and 14th in 2010, before a 10th place finish last fall. In track, she will be
looking for her third trip to state in the Division III 3,200-meter run. Roeth placed 13th as a freshman and 14th as a sophomore. Along the way, she has broken several school records, including the cross country 5K (18:58.9), the 1,600meter run, 5:25; and the 3,200, 11:29 in track. For Roeth, the ultimate decision on OU was a simple one. “I felt like that was the direction God was taking me,” Roeth, who has developed into a scoring threat for the basketball Houston team, said.

OXFORD — Logan Bauer of Botkins started his quest for a return trip to the State Diving Meet with an excellent performance in the sectional on Monday at Miami University. Bauer beat the competition by a hefty margin and was declared the winner of the Trotwood Sectional and the overall sectional. In addition, for the second meet in a row, he broke his school record with 481.10 points. He was the leader for all 11 dives in the competition. He took a strong lead by starting off the night with a forward 11/2 somersault, scoring 37.40 points. He followed that dive
up with his second dive, a 21/2 forward somersaut with a degree of difficulty of 2.6, for 50.70 points. After the first round of five dives, he totaled 216.20 points. In the second round, he completed an inward dive, reverse dive and back 11/2 somersault, resulting in 114.90 more points, giving him a 331/15 total after eight dives. In the third round, all of his dives scored 45 points or better, with the 10th dive being the best of the meet, 53.75 points on a back 11/2 somersault with 11/2 twists. He will next compete Monday at Miami in the district meet.
tering Fairmont High School. He was arrested Feb. 1 on Dayton Towers Drive and taken to the Montgomery County Jail where he was held briefly before posting 10 percent of his $3,250 bond. Under state law, a criminal tool is anything that is used in a crime. He has been placed on administrative leave by Kettering school officials. He is not a teacher at Fairmont and does not have a teaching degree. According to court records, no new court dates have been set in the case. The police report ob-
tained by 2 NEWS from Donoher’s arrest states that he responded to an online advertisement placed on a social website. WDTN 2 News is a news partner of the Sidney Daily News. Officers said Donoher called the number listed and set up a meeting with an undercover, female investigator. The reports states that Donoher agreed to pay $80 dollars for sex. After his arrest, police said Donoher told them this was not his first time. He said he had met with prostitutes 10 times in the last year. While Donoher is the most high-profile arrest,
officers said he was one of nine men caught during the nationwide sting. Officers said it was a 10-day investigation that took place simultaneously in a dozen major cities. “I’ve got some hardworking detectives that not only work the Internet, but work the streets,” Dayton Police Sgt. Chris Fischer told 2 News. “Prostitution is a big sore for our city. All of the arrests these last few days, these guys are from the suburbs. They are only coming into Dayton to hire a prostitute. We don’t want that type of business, that activity, in our city.”

It’s not unusual for looked more confused him to start a PGA Tour than usual. “Where’s the other season along the Pacific coast, though it’s usually guy?” Murray asked. Murray, as it turned at Torrey Pines. And there is a certain magic out, was an hour late. He was supposed to about Woods and Pebble be at the interview table Beach, which has been a with D.A. Points, his big part of his career partner last year when even though he has won they won the pro-am, only twice, both in the and perhaps the most same year. The first was the AT&T overlooked defending champion at a PGA Tour Pebble Beach National event since Nick Price at Pro-Am, and it’s a timely memory considering the Colonial in 2003. “I got here and I got last two weeks have feathe program and I tured wild comebacks and looked at the tickets and ugly meltdowns.

seven holes to play in 2000, and still looked to have no chance until he holed a wedge for eagle on the 15th, nearly holed another shot on the 16th and beat a fast-fading Matt Gogel. “I was just trying to somehow get in it,” Woods recalled. “All of a sudden, boom! Three shots, two holes, I’m back in the ball game.” It was even more significant because that was his sixth consecutive PGA Tour win. Then came the greatest single feat of his career that summer in the U.S. Open, a major where Woods was at the absolute apex of his game. On a course so difficult that no one else broke par, he shot 12-under 272 and won by 15 shots. Now, the mystique has given way to curiosity. Woods still draws the biggest crowd and drives attention in golf — Saturday’s round when the celebrities are at Pebble Beach was headed for its first sellout — but no one can be sure what to expect. There is unpredictability about Woods that wasn’t there before. That, too, might be changing. Woods began his 2012

season in Abu Dhabi, where he was tied for the lead going into the last day and was outplayed by Robert Rock. What some might see as more evidence that Woods can no longer be the player he was, Woods sees as real progress. His golf — and his life — has been a series of stops and starts since his last tour win at the 2009 Australian Masters, right before his personal life came crashing down. The divorce. The new swing coach. The injuries. The new caddie. Woods had to adjust to a new lifestyle as a divorced father of two children, but equally time-consuming was the recovery from injuries. He finally got that sorted out late last summer, and then he missed two months because he was ineligible for the FedEx Cup playoffs. His game has been trending up over the last few months. Woods took the 36hole lead in the Australian Open and finished third. He was among the best players on the U.S. team at Royal Melbourne in the Presidents Cup. Then, he ended a two-year
drought by winning at Sherwood with birdies on the last two holes. He was starting to warm up. He stopped for a winter break. And then in Abu Dhabi, while he didn’t win, he was right back where he left off — contending. “I think that’s what’s exciting,” Woods said. “Because before .... I didn’t go into those breaks feeling good about where my game was. I was still making changes, still trying to get healthy. It was never really there. This time was different. I went into it healthy, went into it playing well, and then was able to build on it over the break. “Took two weeks off after the World Challenge, didn’t touch a club, and then after that got right back into it and boom — almost won a tournament,” he said. “So things are progressing.” His last time at Pebble Beach was for the 2010 U.S. Open, when he made a late charge Saturday afternoon to pull within five shots and get into the second-to-last group. He bogeyed five of the opening 10 holes, shot 75 and was never a factor.
This tournament is different. Woods stopped playing the Pebble Beach National Pro-Am for a number of reasons — Poppy Hills (since replaced by the Shore Course at Monterey Peninsula), the sixhour rounds (the field has since been reduced from 180 players to 156) and bumpy greens from so much play that he felt it affected confidence in his putting stroke. Except for that amazing comeback in 2000, Woods had only one other close call. That was in 1997, when he finished one shot behind Mark O’Meara. But it’s not about the course this week. And it’s not about the greens, which Woods putts better than most players. It’s about his game, and whether he can get it to where he can contend anywhere against anybody. “I feel very much at peace where I’m at,” Woods said. “I had to make some changes, and that took time, and I’m starting to see the results of that now, which is great. Everything is headed in the right direction.”
County tourney finals set The County Junior High Boys Basketball Tournaments completed the semifinals Tuesday at Anna and Fairlawn, setting up the championship games. Anna beat Botkins 37-28 and Russia beat Loramie 39-28 in the 8th grade semifinals. For Anna, Carter Huelskamp had 8 and Connor
Rioch 7. For Botkins, Jared Goubeaux had 12 and Ryan Egbert 7. For Russia, Jonah Counts had 15 and Connor Monnin 8, and for Loramie, Connor Rose had 10 and Brad Pleiman 7. • In the 7th grade Fairlawn semifinals, beat Anna 45-29, with Nathan Lessing scoring
23 and Kody Curtner 13. Owen Michael led Anna with 8. And Russia beat Botkins 56-22 to go 18-0. Ethan Monnier had 11 and Jack Moorman and Drew Poling 10 each. The finals will be played at Fairlawn, the 7th grade game starting at 10 and the 8th grade set for 11:15.

BULLETIN BOARD
Flotilla chartered CELINA — Volunteer members of the U.S. Coast Guard are making Grand Lake St. Marys a little safer. The Grand Lake St. Marys Flotilla of the U.S. Coast Guard was officially chartered recently during a ceremony at Celina Moose Lodge. It had been operating as a detachment of the Indiana Lake flotilla and became a full-fledged flotilla with 17 members. One of the main functions is to conduct boater education courses and vessel checks. It also assists boaters in distress. Ohio is ninth in the nation for boating with 426,000 registered watercraft. The local flotilla will patrol the lake during fireworks events, the Governor’s Cup Regatta and other water events.
Rotary thanked for scholarship NEW BREMEN — Katie Goettemoeller, a 2011 graduate of New Bremen High School, recently visited the New BremenNew Knoxville Rotary Club to thank the club for awarding her a four-year college scholarship. “I am majoring in psychology at the University of Dayton and I love it,” said Goettemoeller. “I really appreciate this scholCollege is arship. expensive, and this will really help me afford school.” As a student at New Bremen High School, Goettemoeller was active in choir and band all four years, serving as the field commander of the Cardinal Marching Band during her senior year. “I had originally planned to do music therapy,” said Goettemoeller. “But I really love psychology. I’d like to earn my master’s degree and eventually my doctorate in abnormal child psychology.” Each year, the New Bremen-New Knoxville Rotary Club offers several scholarships to graduating seniors from New Bremen and New Knoxville schools.
! y r o t He’s his Wallace passes the reins BY PATRICIA ANN SPEELMAN pspeelman@sdnccg.com To many residents of Sidney and its environs, the names, Shelby County Historical Society and Rich Wallace, are synonymous. That’s not surprising. Since the organization’s rebirth in 1993, Wallace has been the president of its board of trustees and the face of the organization for 16 of the last 19 years. That, however, has now changed. As of January, Julie A. Gilardi and Linda DeVelvis, both retired Sidney teachers, have taken over the board’s presidency. Wallace remains a board member. According to the new copresidents and Tilda Phlipot, the society’s director, it is nearly impossible to measure the contribution Wallace has made to the society. “I feel that he has been one of the main reasons that the historical society has been successful,” Gilardi said. “His good work, community spirit, dedication made the organization what it is. He kept us all on track.” Phlipot agrees. “Rich is the driving force of the society. He has held a vision of how important it is to instill a sense of community and belonging in our youth and he has worked at that by bringing history alive,” she said. “We are very thankful for the amount of time and effort he’s put into his presidency,” DeVelvis said. “It’s even more amazing that he isn’t a native. He’s turned into one of the most avid supporters and contributors to the city and county.” Wallace was born in California and raised in Mansfield. He met his wife, Susan Burrey, at Capital University in Columbus. They were married, and he served in the U.S. Navy for three years and completed law school. They moved to Sidney, Susan’s hometown, in the mid 1970s, so Wallace could join a local law firm. Since 1978, he has been a partner in the firm of Elsass, Wallace, Evans, Schnelle & Co., L.P.A., and a managing partner since 1994. Not long after he arrived in Shelby County, he met Bill Ross Jr., and history was not only made but saved.

“Bill had a passion for local history,” Wallace said. “He researched news items, buildings. He kept a clip file. He was interested in getting people to care about history. Living history is getting people to understand the legacy of our ancestors and asking ‘What responsibility do I have to carry on that legacy?’ (People who care about the past) perpetuate their history and do it anonymously. That’s what Bill did. That was my role model.” The Shelby County Historical Society had been incorporated in 1946 and had gone through several cycles of activity and inactivity. By 1993, it had been dormant for a number of years and was all but dead. Then Wallace met Ross Jr.’s son, Bill Ross III, and they decided to put a program together and see how many people would attend. An audience of 40 showed up to listen to a speaker from Indiana talk about the Civil War, and the two were encouraged to offer more. However, a program the following month brought only five people. But by then the ship was launched. The journey had begun. “If we were going to get the

CAUTION Whether posting or responding to an advertisement, watch out for offers to pay more than the advertised price for the item. Scammers will send a check and ask the seller to wire the excess through Western Union (possibly for courier fees). The scammer's check is fake and eventually bounces and the seller loses the wired amount. While banks and Western Union branches are trained at spotting fake checks, these types of scams are growing increasingly sophisticated and fake checks often aren't caught for weeks. Funds wired through Western Union or MoneyGram are irretrievable and virtually untraceable. If you have questions regarding scams like these or others, please contact the Ohio Attorney General’s office at (800)282-0515.
