Senator promises delay Wants to block Obama’s nominees over Libya WASHINGTON (AP) — A leading Republican senator said Sunday he would hold up Senate confirmation of President Barack Obama’s nominees to head the Pentagon and the CIA until the White House provided more answers about the Sept. 11 attack against a U.S. installation in Benghazi, Libya.

The White House took aim at South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham, a persistent critic of Obama’s response to the terrorist assault, by urging quick approval of the president’s second-term national security team and scolding any lawmakers trying to “play politics” with

critical nominations.

Graham accused the White House of “stonewalling” requests to release more information about the attack that killed four Americans, including the U.S. ambassador to Libya. “We’re going to get to the bottom of Benghazi,” he told CBS’ “Face the Nation.”

A Democratic colleague branded Graham’s threat to stall the nominations of former Sen. Chuck Hagel, R-Neb., to be defense secretary and John Brennan, Obama’s top counterterrorism adviser, to be CIA director as “unprecedented and unwarranted.” Senators should have the

chance to vote on the fate of those nominees, said Sen. Jack Reed of Rhode Island.

The White House did not address Graham’s demand for more information, but did note that Defense Secretary Leon Panetta and Army Gen. Martin Dempsey, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, testified Thursday before Congress about the chaotic day of the Sept. 11 attack.

In January Graham had signaled he would delay Brennan’s pick and told Fox See SENATOR/Page 7

Knapke named Citizen of the Year MINSTER — Mary Knapke, who served 30 years with the FJ Stallo Library in Minster, was honored Saturday night as the 2012 Minster Civic Association Citizen of the Year.

A Minster High School graduate and lifelong resident Minster, Knapke borrowed a correspondence course in library science from Minster grade school Principal Sister Alicia after the youngest of her nine children entered grade school. With her library science education, she applied for a job as a page at the Stallo Library, which proved to be the start of a 30-year career. She became children’s librarian under Elsie Van Oss. Along with many volunteers, they moved the library from the former Minster Bank building to its current location at the corner of Fourth and Main streets.

She encouraged children to read through the Summer Reading Program. It was noted that during her tenure as head librarian, there was a period when the main library in Wapakoneta was considering whether Minster should have its own branch. Knapke worked successfully for the village to keep its branch library.

Her other activities have included serving on parish council at St. Augustine Catholic Church, as well as many other church activities. Knapke has served with the Minster Historical Society, Auglaize County Crisis Center, the Minster Oktoberfest, American Red Cross Bloodmobile and Friends of the Library board.

She is a 20-year member and past president of the American Legion Auxiliary, coordinating the organization’s Coupons for Troops program from 2002 to 2007.

After retiring from the library, she and her husband, the late Luke Knapke, researched historical facts from the early German issues of the Community Post. They also began collecting funeral cards, which serve as genealogical aids. More than 20,000 funeral cards have been filed for use with the Minster Historical Society.

She also helped translate the writing of Liwwat Knapke Boke For photo reprints, visit www.sidneydailynews.com SDN Photo/David Pence from the old German script, culminating with the publication of MARY KNAPKE holds a plaque recognizing her as the 2012 “Liwwat Boke 1807-1882, Pioneer.”

How Obama is wielding executive power in 2nd term

BY RICHARD LARDNER Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — This is what “Forward” looks like. Fast forward, even.

President Barack Obama’s campaign slogan is springing to life in a surge of executive directives and agency rulemaking that touch many of the affairs of government. They are shaping the cost and quality of health plans, the contents of the school cafeteria, the front lines of future combat, the price of coal. They are the leading edge of Obama’s ambition to take on climate change in ways that may be unachievable in legislation.

Altogether, it’s a kinetic switch from what could have been the watchword of the Obama administration in the closing, politically hypersensitive months of his first term: pause.

Whatever the merits of any

particular commandment from the president or his agencies, the perception of a government expanding its reach and hitting business with job-killing mandates was sure to set off fireworks before November.

Since Obama’s re-election, regulations giving force and detail to his health care law have gushed out by the hundreds of pages. To some extent this was inevitable: The law is far-reaching and its most consequential deadlines are fast approaching.

The rules are much more than fine print, however, and they would have thickened the storm over the health care overhaul if placed on the radar in last year’s presidential campaign. That, after all, was the season when some RepubliAP Photo/Carolyn Kaster, File cans put the over-the-top label IN THIS Jan. 16 file photo, President Barack Obama, accom“death panel” on a board that could force cuts to service panied by Vice President Joe Biden, talks about proposals to reduce gun violence, in the South Court Auditorium at the See OBAMA/Page 7 White House in Washington.

COLUMBUS — State Rep. Jim Buchy, R-Greenville, 84th District, recently announced an effort to gain public input on the possible reforms in Gov. John Kasich’s state budget proposal.

Opinions are being collected in an online survey at http://tinyurl.com/buchybudgetsurvey Recently, Kasich released his plans for reform as part of the proposed state budget for the 2014-15 fiscal years. Buchy remains in the process of reviewing Kasich’s reform package, which includes changes to Ohio’s school-funding model and state sales tax among other reforms.

Buchy plans to monitor the governor’s proposals and gather opinion from the residents in the 84th House District.

“Government derives its power from the people and I have always held the belief that public input is important in the legislative process,” Buchy said.

As part of a commitment to gaining that public input, Buchy has sent an email to constituents seeking their feedback. In addition, he has used social media to reach a broader group of individuals posting on Facebook and Twitter, asking constituents to complete an online survey regarding budget proposals.

Valentine’s Day Around The World

United States In the US, children celebrate Valentine's Day with great enthusiasm. In keeping with their interest, many schools hold Valentine's Day programmes where little students perform songs, dance, skits and plays. Kids handcraft gifts and cards on this ocassion and present them to their friends and teachers. In some schools, the children organize a classroom party and put all the valentines into a box they have decorated. The celebration culminates with a teacher or child distributing the cards. Older students construct candy baskets and gifts, and place on them cards trimmed with hearts and fat, winged children called cupids. They also organize dances and parties. A collective endeavor is made to make the day a special one.

Britain In Britain, St Valentine's Day is celebrated with great fanfare and gaiety. Like in many other countries, the common celebrations of the day has people expressing love for their beloved with gifts like flowers, cards, chocolates and other special items. The traditions of the celebrations of Valentine's Day differs in different regions of the country but one uniform custom is the singing of special songs by children. All over Britain, children sing special songs related to the ocassion and are rewarded with gifts like candy, fruit or money. Another popular tradition followed in some areas of England is the baking of valentine buns with caraway seeds, plums, or raisins. This is believed to be a way of celebrating agarian productivity. This connection with fertility and the similar date of celebration are probably the reasons why many writers link the festival of Lupercalia with Valentine's Day. Composing verses is another extremely well-known Valentine's Day custom of Britain. About a month earlier to Valentine's Day, leading tabloids and reputed magazines publish sonnets and verses to commemorate the ocassion. The tradition owes its origin to the British poets who have penned some of the best love poems and the majority of the romantic verses associated with Saint Valentine.

Japan In Japan, Valentine's Day is observed on Feb. 14, but the celebration of love truly ends on March 14, known as the "White Day." On the first date, women present chocolates or gifts to the men they love to

Word Search

express their feelings for them. Gifting chocolates is a typical way to celebrate Valentine's day in Japan for chocolate is the most popular gift in the country.

Hence, it is a must for Japanese Valentine's Day celebrations. Gift shops all over Japan pile their shelves with chocolate a month before Valentine's Day. Most Japanese females believe however, that store-bought chocolate is not a gift of true love. Hence, they tend to make the confection all by themselves.

But it's also common for women to give chocolates to any man close to them, such as co-workers and male friends, whom they don't actually love. This kind of chocolate-gift is called giri-choco which mean chocolates given because of obligations. Men who receive chocolates or gifts on Valentine's day are supposed to return the favor to the women on March 14, exactly a month after Valentine's Day. Also known as "White Day", this is the time when men are to give back a gift to the women who gave them gifts just a month before. The tradition is believed to have been introduced by a marshmallow company in the 1960s.

Korea The Valentine's Day celebrations in Korea is quite akin to the Japanese observance of the festival. As in Japan, Korea

witnesses gifting of chocolates and candies from females to males. The favor is returned the same way by the men on March 14, which is referred to as "White Day" similar to the custom in Japan. But "White Day" here is a Valentine's Day in its own right as many young men confess their love for the first time to their sweethearts on this ocassion.

And then there is April 14, also known as "Black Day", which has been specially set aside for those young people who have no particular romantic partners. The curious name of the day probably comes from the fact that on this date, individuals who are not in any relationship get together and partake of Jajang noodles, which are black in color.

Germany The German celebration of Valentine's Day is nearly the same as elsewhere in the world. For Germans, the festival is a celebration of love and a time to spend with their sweethearts. In Germany, it is customary for a young man to present his beloved with flowers on February 14.

Valentine gifts in Germany are usually in the shape of love tokens, complete with lovely messages. But these are not entirely restricted to Valentine's Day celebrations, and can be gifted on any occasion of a joyous nature.

Cargill volunteers celebrate MLK Day Ag luncheon set volunteers Cargill gave back to the community as they helped honor the memory of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. “In memory and celebration of the joyful life of a dear friend, I have been knitting chemo caps for five years,” said Lynne Morehart, technical service manager for Cargill Dressings, Sauces, and Oils.

Over the last couple of years, Morehart has helped lead a group of Cargill employees who have crocheted and knitted caps to be donated to the James Cancer Hospital in Columbus. The group worked together to celebrate Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Other Cargill team members also participated in community service projects on MLK Day. One group put toinformational gether packets for the Elizabeth New Life Center.

Farmers achieve successful corn crop despite weather

CARGILL VOLUNTEER Tina Riley and her son, Patrick, help at the Agape food drive held on Martin Luther King Jr. Day. other organization who will recycle them for insulation. Director Becky Gillman also shared the success of a Christmas toy and gift program that they started this year.

“Hopefully this Christmas program will be a new way for Cargill to partner with FISH in the future,” said Tracy Platfoot, whose children also volunteered at FISH. Another group of Cargill volunteers collected canned food to take to Agape. Inspired by children of a Cargill employee, four volunteers collected donations from people at Wagner’s IGA in Fort Loramie.

“As both a mom and a

chef for Cargill, I understand the importance of providing food not only to my family, but to my customers and the community where I live,” said Tina Riley, culinary chef for Cargill Dressings, Sauces, and Oils.

“I also brought my 9year-old son to our town’s food drive. I feel it is important for him to understand the impor-

tance of giving back to his community and how he can help improve the quality of life for those in need.”

Later in the week, 34 volunteers participated in an onsite blood drive.

This is one of six drives Cargill holds onsite during the year. Cargill routinely has 30 to 40 people give blood at each drive.

DELAWARE — Ohio’s corn farmers experienced extreme weather during the 2012 growing season, yet in spite of historic challenges, a plentiful yield was produced, according to the Ohio Corn & Wheat Growers Association (OCWGA). The results of the 2012 season are borne out in the annual crop report released recently by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) National Agricultural Statistics Service.

Facing what published reports cited as the broadest and most intense drought since 1956, corn farmers in Ohio and across the Midwest faced significant obstacles. In Ohio, the USDA declared an emergency state of drought for 85 of Ohio’s 88 counties.

“Ohio’s corn growers are resilient and work hard from planting to harvest to produce a quality, bountiful crop each year,” said OCWGA President Brent Hostetler. “Corn growers met obstacles along the way, but best farming practices and improved technology helped them contribute to our nation’s eighth-largest crop in recorded history despite the drought.”

Each year, improvements are made in agriculture, from more advanced seed varieties to more effective and efficient machinery, according to Hostetler.

While there is no doubt the drought has affected the crop and supplies are tighter than in years past, the United States will still have over 500 million bushels of unused corn. That is enough corn to fill the Empire State building 18 times.

State’s attendance-fixing probe concluding

BY JULIE CARR SMYTH Associated Press COLUMBUS (AP) — Results of a statewide probe into potential school attendance tampering, launched after unusual practices were uncovered around the state, are to come Monday.

Ohio Auditor Dave Yost’s planned release will say how many Ohio schools have removed poor-performing students from their rolls in attempts to improve performance ratings that can impact federal funding and employee bonuses.

Yost’s auditors spread out across the state to investigate a statistically selected sampling of districts.

He launched the review in response to unusual practices discovered in Toledo and suburban Cincinnati districts, as well as in Columbus. In November, federal

authorities joined the investigation into the Columbus schools and Yost separated the district from the rest of the state probe due to the likelihood of criminal referrals.

Columbus Superintendent Gene Harris plans to resign at the end of the school year, in a move she says is unrelated to Yost’s probe.

Another district employee, data analyst Stephen Tankovich, also announced his resignation effective next month. Tankovich had served stints as the district’s chief information officer and accountability director. He’s been a key figure in unfolding events.

A former district superintendent in the southwestern Ohio district of Lockland sued last year to keep their jobs amid the state investigation. Donna Hubbard and her son alleged the school board violated open-meet-

TOLEDO (AP) — There’s “I love New York,” ”Everything’s bigger in Texas,” and of course, “What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.”

But what about Toledo?

Community leaders and enthusiasts in Ohio’s fourth-largest city have been working for the past three-and-a-half years to build a new brand for the home of Tony Packo’s and the Mud Hens.

The Toledo Blade reports that they’ve come up with a distinctive narrative summing up what the northwestern Ohio region is about, a logo, a website and even a Twitter account.

Unlike many other cities Toledo’s brand won’t have a nifty catch phrase.

The brand paints Toledo and northwest Ohio as ground zero for a “New Manufacturing Economy” and emphasizes living, working, learning and enjoyment in the region.

Now all the city has to do is sell the new brand to the region, the country and the world.

As the group talked about ways to promote the region, they realized that Toledo lacked a brand that defines and sells the region to outsiders.

Keith Burwell, president of the Toledo Community Foundation, said that what the group found is that site selectors for businesses looking to relocate begin their search on the Internet.

“We realized that we had nothing out there that was compelling to get people to look at the Toledo region,” he said.

The group decided to form a Toledo Branding committee in the fall of 2009, then hired a consultant — Applied Storytelling of Berkeley, Calif. — to research and develop a brand and hold meetings to gather information and bring other organizations on board.

Tax Preparation Service (over 20 years experience)

CINCINNATI (AP) — The mayor of a small southeastern Ohio community resigned Saturday over accusations that she repeatedly called a gay police officer queer in front of his colleagues and created a hostile work environment, at one point saying, “I don’t like a queer working for the village.”

Mary McAngus, the 78-year-old mayor of the village of Pomeroy, submitted a letter of resignation as mayor of the town of 2,000 along the Ohio River just across from West Virginia, said Jackie Welker, the village council president and now-acting mayor.

“It just seems so absurd, even in our town in Appalachia, that this could still happen,” Welker told The Associated Press. “Hopefully this resignation will start the healing.”

McAngus did not immediately return a call to her home for comment Saturday.

Her resignation as mayor comes on the heels of police Chief Mark Proffitt’s warning to the council this week that McAngus’ alleged comments could open the village to a lawsuit.

ings laws when voting 3-1 to oust them.

Yost identified five districts for questionable attendance methods during the first round of investigative findings. A second round of results was issued ahead of November’s election to aid districts seeking levies. It turned up no additional irregularities.

Amid the investigation, the state Board of Education opted to delay release of district assessments, known as report cards, which are eagerly anticipated by educators, parents and communities. Board members said they were concerned that widespread inaccuracies may exist in attendance data that could have compromised the rankings.

Yost appeared before the board and urged release of the information. He said it wouldn’t interfere with his work.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Feb. 11, 1963, American author and poet Sylvia Plath was found dead in her London flat, a suicide; she was 30.

On this date: • In 1812, Massachusetts Gov. Elbridge Gerry signed a re-districting law favoring his DemocraticRepublican Party — giving rise to the term “gerrymandering.”

• In 1858, a French girl, Bernadette Soubirous (soo-bee-ROO’), reported the first of 18 visions of a lady dressed in white in a grotto near Lourdes. (The Catholic Church later accepted that the visions were of the Virgin Mary.)

• In 1862, the Civil War Battle of Fort Donelson began in Tennessee.

(Union forces led by Brig.

Gen. Ulysses S. Grant captured the fort five days later.)

• In 1929, the Lateran Treaty was signed, with Italy recognizing the independence and sovereignty of Vatican City.

• In 1937, a six-weekold sit-down strike against General Motors ended, with the company agreeing to recognize the United Automobile Workers Union.

• In 1945, President Franklin D. Roosevelt, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill and Soviet leader Josef Stalin signed the Yalta Agreement during World War II. • In 1960, “Tonight Show” host Jack Paar walked off the program in a censorship dispute with NBC. (Despite his very public resignation, Paar returned to the Tonight Show less than a month later.)

• In 1972, McGraw-Hill Publishing Co. and Life magazine canceled plans to publish what had turned out to be a fake autobiography of reclusive Howard billionaire Hughes.

In 1975, Margaret Thatcher was elected leader of Britain’s opposition Conservative Party.

• In 1979, followers of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini (hoh-MAY’-nee) seized power in Iran.

• In 1990, South African black activist Nelson Mandela was freed after 27 years in captivity.

• In 1993, President Bill Clinton announced his choice of Miami prosecutor Janet Reno to be the nation’s first female attorney general, after two earlier candidates stumbled because they’d hired illegal aliens.

OUT OF THE BLUE Gov. pardons pig before bacon event DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — A young pig has won a reprieve from the frying pan just as Iowa’s popular bacon festival is about to begin.

Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad pardoned the 30pound, 2 1/2-month-old Berkshire pig named Bonnie on Friday morning.

The pardon took place outside the governor's mansion in Des Moines in a ceremony ahead of the Blue Ribbon Bacon Festival held Saturday at the Iowa State Fairgrounds.

More than 8,000 people are expected to eat more than 10,000 pounds of bacon at the festival. Tickets for this year’s event sold out in just over three minutes.

Northeast tries to get back on track after storm

BY MICHELLE R. SMITH Associated Press PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — Emergency crews and residents struggled to clear roadways and sidewalks from a storm that rampaged through the Northeast, dumping up to 3 feet of snow and bringing howling winds that knocked out power to hundreds of thousands.

Municipal workers from New York to Boston labored through the night into Sunday in snow-bound communities, where some motorists had to be rescued after spending hours stuck in wet, heavy President Barack snow.

Obama declared a state of emergency for Connecticut, allowing federal aid to be used in recovery, and utilities in some hard-hit New England states predicted that the storm could leave some customers in the dark for days.

“We’ve never seen anything like this,” said county official Steven Bellone of New York’s Long Island, which got more than 2 feet of snow.

More than 300,000 homes and businesses were without power Sunday, down from a peak of about 650,000. Some school districts announced they’d be closed Monday, complicating parents’ back to work schedules but giving kids another day for frolicking.

At least 11 deaths in the U.S. were blamed on the snowstorm, including an 11-year-old boy in Boston who was overcome by

PEOPLE PAUSE for a picture while digging out their cars in Boston. A howling storm across the Northeast left the New York-to-Boston corridor shrouded in 1 to 3 feet of snow Saturday, stranding motorists on highways overnight and piling up drifts so high that some homeowners couldn't get their doors open. More than 650,000 homes and businesses were left without electricity. carbon monoxide as he sat in a running car to keep warm while his father shoveled Saturday morning. That death and the illnesses of several others exposed to carbon monoxide set off a flurry of safety warnings from public officials.

Roads across the Northeast were impassable and cars were entombed by snow drifts on Saturday. Some people found the snow packed so high

against their homes they couldn’t get their doors open.

“It’s like lifting cement. They say it’s 2 feet, but I think it’s more like 3 feet,” said Michael Levesque, who was shoveling snow in Quincy, Mass., for a landscaping company.

In Providence, where the drifts were 5 feet high and telephone lines encrusted with ice and snow drooped under the weight, Jason Harrison la-

bored for nearly three hours to clear his blocked driveway and front walk and still had more work to do.

Rhode Island Gov. Lincoln Chafee cautioned that while the snow had stopped, the danger hadn’t passed: “People need to take this storm seriously, even after it’s over. If you have any kind of heart condition, be careful with the shoveling.”

Police: 4 wounded $1 million Fun. in Bourbon reward wins for Street shooting offered top song NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Gunshots erupted in a crowd of beadwearing, drink-carrying late-night revelers on Bourbon Street during the countdown to Mardi Gras, wounding four people and sending bystanders running and screaming. Hours later on Sunday, though, the same stretch was packed with partiers who said they weren’t letting the violence dampen their fun.

In a video taken by a witness Saturday night and released the next day, the shootings are preceded by footage of people standing shoulder to shoulder in New Orleans’ famed tourist district, with some holding green plastic cups and wearing gaudy hats or masks. A section of the frame highlighted by police shows people jostling and speaking with angry expressions.

Police said in an email that the video depicts an argument involving one of the shooting victims and the suspects. Two men are seen leaving the argument and returning with a third, then approaching the victim as at least one of the suspects begins shooting, according to police. Four shots are heard in rapid succession, followed by screams as some in the crowd stagger into one another and a nearby wall. A man whom police identified as one of the suspects is shown walking through the crowd with his arm extended as the gunshots are heard, though it’s difficult to make out a weapon.

Police said Sunday that they were seeking the three men.

The shootings wounded two males and two females. One male victim hit in the abdomen, thigh and pelvis was in guarded condition Sunday after surgery the previous night, New Orleans Police spokesman Frank B. Robertson said. The second male was shot in the buttocks, one female was shot on the chin and right foot, and the second female was shot on the toe, according to Robertson’s statement. Those three were in stable condition. No ages or names were released.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Seeking leads in a massive manhunt, Los Angeles authorities on Sunday offered a $1 million reward for information leading to the arrest of Christopher Dorner, the former police officer suspected in three killings.

Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa announced the reward, raised through several private and public donors, at a news conference at LAPD headquarters.

“Our dedication to catch this killer remains steadfast,” Villaraigosa said. “We will not tolerate this reign of terror.”

Meanwhile, authorities said camping gear was found along with weapons inside Dorner’s burned-out pickup truck. The vehicle found Thursday in the ski resort town of Big Bear Lake was so charred that investigators couldn’t be more specific about the nature of its contents, Sgt. Rudy Lopez said.

providers if Medicare spending ballooned.

The new health law rules provide leeway for insurers to charge smokers thousands of dollars more for coverage.

They impose a $63 per-head fee on insurance plans — a charge that probably will be passed on to policyholders — to cushion the cost of covering people with medical problems.

There’s a new fee for insurance companies for participating in markets that start signing customers in the fall.

In short, sticker shock.

It’s clear from the varied inventory of previously bottled-up directives that Obama cares about more than “Obamacare.”

“I’m hearing we’re going to see a lot of things moving now,” Hilda Solis told employees in her last day as labor secretary. At the Labor Department, this could include

From Page 1 regulations requiring that the nation’s 1.8 million in-home care workers receive minimum-wage and overtime pay.

Tougher limits on soot from smokestacks, diesel trucks and other sources were announced just over a month after the Nov. 6 election.

These were foreseen: The administration had tried to stall until the campaign ended but released the proposed rules in June when a judge ordered more haste.

Regulations give teeth and specificity to laws are essential to their functioning even as they create bureaucratic bloat. Congress-skirting executive orders and similar presidential directives are less numerous and generally have less reach than laws. But every president uses them and often tests how far they can go, especially in times of war and other crises.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — You can cross one major trophy off the list for fun. at the Grammy Awards.

The pop-rockers won song of the year for their transcendent anthem, “We Are Young,” featuring Janelle Monae, during Sunday night’s telecast, taking the first of four major awards the group’s been nominated.

“I don’t know what I was thinking when I wrote the chorus to this song,” lead singer Nate Ruess joked. “This is in HD, everyone can see our faces, and we are not very young.”

Most of the attention has been on Frank Ocean going into the awards — he won a trophy for urban contemporary album and is up for four more trophies during the telecast.

But his fellow lead nominees got an early lead on the R&B singer.

“We Are Young” helped fun. earn a starring role at these Grammys with nominations in all four major categories after the release of their first album.

News he would “absolutely” block Hagel unless Panetta and Dempsey testified about the Benghazi attack. The senator said he was “happy as a clam” when he learned the hearing with Panetta and Dempsey had been scheduled.

Republicans have accused the Obama administration of an election-year cover-up of the attack and at the hearing several suggested the commander in chief was disengaged as Americans died.

“We know nothing about what the president did on the night of September 11th during a time of national crisis, and the American people need to know what their commander in chief did, if anything, during this eight-hour attack,” Graham said on CBS. Graham contended that a six-person rescue team was delayed from leaving the Benghazi airport because of problems “with the militias releasing them and a lot of bureaucratic snafus,” and he said he wants to know whether Obama called any Libyan officials to expedite their mission.

“I don’t think we should allow Brennan to go forward for the CIA directorship, Hagel to be confirmed to secretary of defense until the White House gives us an accounting,” Graham said, adding, “What did he do that night? That’s not unfair.

The families need to know, the American people need to know.”

Tommy Vietor, a spokesman for the White House’s National Security Council, said, “We believe the Senate should act swiftly to confirm John Brennan and Sen. Hagel. These are critical national security positions and individual members shouldn’t play politics with their nominations.”

HOROSCOPE

BY FRANCIS DRAKE What kind of day will tomorrow be? To find out what the stars say, read the forecast given for your birth sign.

For Wednesday, Feb. 13, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Today is a mixed bag.

At some point, you might lose your temper when talking to someone because things get too intense. Nevertheless, later in the day, you’re happy.

In fact, a casual friend could become a cozy cohort.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) You might feel angry with someone today, but you won’t show it. (You will just be quietly seething.) Fortunately, by evening, all is forgotten.

Whew!

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You might butt heads with someone today, perhaps a female, especially in a meeting or a group situation. Hold your fire.

Later in the day, this will be entirely forgotten.

(Well, sort of.)

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Tread carefully when talking to authority figures — bosses, parents, teachers, VIPs and the police. This is a classic day to attract overbearing people to you. Or in turn, you might be overbearing. (Yikes.)

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Avoid controversial subjects like politics, religion or racial issues.

Heated arguments can arise today. Go gently.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Disputes about shared property, inheritances and jointly held property might occur today. Be patient. By this evening, you’re extremely happy with your work.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Arguments with partners or female relatives are likely today. Put a lid on it. By evening, social plans and romance are promising!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Others will resist your ideas for improvements and reforms at work.

Therefore, be diplomatic.

This evening is a wonderful time to entertain at home or to enjoy family fun.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) A casual conversation easily can heat up into disputes and quarrels today because someone is passionately entrenched in his or her point of view.

(Not you, of course.)

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Be patient with parents and family members, especially female relatives, so that you can avoid an argument today. This evening, you might see a way to boost

LOCAL NEWS

Sidney Daily News, Monday, February 11, 2013

Health officials offer info about vaccines for children The Sidney-Shelby County Health Department has received an update from the Ohio Department of Health regarding the general revenue funds used to purchase vaccines for children, including those fully insured.

The purchased vaccine was to ensure that any child needing vaccine at a local health department would not be turned away due to their inability to pay, and/or insurance status. Based on vaccine availability, the funding has been extended through June.

Due to the funding changes, effective July 1, children with insurance that cover vaccines will need to receive immunizations at their primary care provider’s office. The Sidney-Shelby County Health Department will continue to vaccinate children enrolled in the Medicaid program, those with

no insurance and underinsured.

The underinsured include: • Children who have commercial (private) health insurance, but the coverage does not include vaccines.

• Children whose insurance covers only selected vaccines.

• Children whose insurance caps vaccine coverage at a certain amount (once that coverage amount is reached, these children are categorized as underinsured).

Prior to visiting the SidneyShelby County Health Department, parents should contact their insurance company to determine the details of their insurance coverage.

Ask your insurance these questions: • Does the insurance cover all or only certain vaccines?

• Do I need to see a network provider.?

• Is there an out-of-pocket expense?

• What is the maximum paid by the insurance?

• Is immunizations included in the “well care” plan?

If the insurance covers vaccines, regardless of co-pays and deductibles, children will need to see their primary care physician/provider for services.

The Sidney-Shelby County Health Department will continue to offer adult vaccines and international travel vaccines for adults and children at cost.

Contact Shannon Nagel, RN, immunization coordinator at the Sidney-Shelby County Health Department, with questions at 498-7249 during regular business hours Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Public input sought on proposed trail NEW BREMEN — The village of New Bremen will hold an open house meeting Wednesday to provide interested parties an opportunity to review and comment on the proposed trail improvements at the north end of the village.

The meeting will be held from 4 to 6 p.m. at the Miami and Erie Canal Visitors C e n t e r / L o ck k e e p e r ’s House, 22 S. Water St., which is located alongside the canal near the

intersection of Ohio 66 and 274 in downtown New Bremen.

The purpose of the path is to connect the downtown, Bremenfest Park and the KuenningDicke Natural Area along the historic Miami and Erie Canal with an all-weather path suitable for pedestrians, bikers and the handicapped north to Lock Two Road.

As currently proposed, construction of the project will affect historic and recreational facili-

ties, including the Miami and Erie Canal.

The New Bremen Foundation will also be in attendance to discuss the proposed Loop Trail through the KuenningDicke Natural Area.

At 5 p.m., the village will have the Poggemeyer Design Group review the scope and details of the project, followed by an opportunity for citizens to ask questions or make public comments if they choose. Village elected officials and staff will be

available at the meeting to answer questions and take comments regarding the proposed improvements. Before and after the public presentation and forum, citizens are encouraged to use this opportunity to speak one-on-one with members of the team.

People who are unable to attend, but would like to provide comments or have questions, should contact the Village Office at 214 N. Washington St., (419) 629-2447.

ARC awards grants, plans summer camp Shelby County ARC has been reaching out to help Sidney and Shelby County schools and is working on plans for its annual summer camp.

During a recent meeting, members heard that ARC awarded nearly $3,500 in grants to multiple-disability classrooms in Sidney City Schools and Shelby County school districts for this school year. The grants will be used by teachers to purchase specialized software, adaptive equipment or other items that can help in the learning environment for students in their classes.

ARC is also making plans for their annual Summer Recreation

Camp that is scheduled for the week of July 29 at Sidney Middle School.

The camp is open to any Shelby County resident who is between the ages of 6 and 22 and who has a developmental disability. Additional information and details regarding the camp and registration for the camp will be given to potential campers in the near future.

ARC members held the first of six bowling events that are held in the afternoons at BelMar Lanes. The first bowling event was held in January and 40 individuals participated.

The organization has ordered league T-shirts for registered participants

and those will be distributed at the next bowling event which is scheduled for Sunday.

ARC members made a donation to S&H Products to sponsor a month in their annual art work

calendar. The ARC logo and contact information will be featured in the calendar in April.

TSC, FFA Foundation to offer scholarships BRENTWOOD, Tenn.

— As an extension of its sponsorship with the National FFA Foundation, Tractor Supply Co. has recently announced a new scholarship program to assist FFA members in their pursuit of a college degree.

The Growing Scholars program will be supported nationally by each of the more than 1,150 Tractor Supply stores Feb. 15-24, which includes National FFA Week. Tractor Supply customers can donate $1 at store registers during the checkout process to support local FFA chapters and their members.

Ninety percent of funds raised through Tractor Supply’s Growing Scholars program will be utilized to fund scholarships for FFA members. The remaining 10 percent of donations will benefit state FFA organizations.

“This program will provide critical funding to FFA members who intend to pursue a college degree and local FFA chapters that enrich the lives of young members by teaching life skills, citizenship and leadership qualities,” said Tractor Supply President and CEO Greg Sandfort. “For us, this is an outstanding way to support our current and future customers and future team members and a way to give back to the 1,100plus unique communities we serve.”

To be eligible for the students scholarship, must be current FFA members and either high school seniors or a freshman, sophomore or junior college student seeking a two- or four-year degree or other specialized training program. Major areas

of study will also be considered when determining scholarship recipients.

“We are extremely grateful to Tractor Supply and its customers for supporting FFA, student and alumni members and agriculture education in general,” said National FFA Foundation Executive Director Robert K. Cooper.

In addition to the Growing Scholars program, Tractor Supply and the National FFA Foundation have many other joint initiatives, including the FFA horse evaluation career development event, National FFA Week and the annual National Association of Agricultural Educators Conference. At an individual store level, Tractor Supply continually hosts fund-raising events and works closely with local FFA chapters and high school agriculture advisors to provide resources and leverage synergies.

“Local high school agricultural advisors and FFA chapters feel at home in their local Tractor Supply stores,” said John Wendler, senior vice president of marketing at Tractor Supply. “These groups often host fundraising events at our stores to raise money for community projects, like building a school greenhouse, a new bridge in a public park or an animal care lab. Our stores also work with local FFA members to support specific programs and proficiencies by providing demonstrations from knowledgeable Tractor Supply employees and our vendor partners, which brings significant value to both organizations.”

You’re in the mood to make careful plans about how things should unfold.

DEAR DR. ROACH: I have been taking both lisinopril (10 mg) and chlorthalidone (25 mg) for my high blood pressure. Several months ago, I started taking niacin for my cholesterol. I am presently on 1,000 mg a day (one 500-mg tab each at lunch and dinner). My cholesterol dropped from 245 down to 199. Recently I stared feeling fatigue and discomfort in my legs, and also tiredness in general. When I visited my doctor, my blood pressure had dropped extremely low, something like 80/50. I was told to cut back the chlorthalidone to every other day, and I have recovered from that episode.

Could the niacin I’m taking for cholesterol also lower my HBP? Does niacin reduce artery blockages and keep them clear? If I increase my dosage of niacin daily, would my cholesterol go down even more? — V.K.

ANSWER: Niacin has been used to lower cholesterol for decades; however, it does have several possible side effects. The best known is flushing — a sensation of burning or itching in the skin, along with redness, usually within a half hour of taking the niacin.

Niacin can certainly lower blood pressure, which is probably the issue in your case. However, niacin also can raise blood sugar levels and, rarely, can adversely affect the liver.

Two recent trials have thrown into doubt the ability of niacin to reduce the risk of heart disease.

Since the goal is to prevent a heart attack, not make cholesterol numbers look better, these new studies are causing concern among cardiologists and others who treat high cholesterol. It may be worthwhile to discuss with your doctor again whether niacin is right for you.

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.

Shot at buzzer beats JC LIMA — Jackson Center lost for only the third time this season, falling on a lastsecond shot by Lima Temple Christian in overtime in nonleague boys basketball action Saturday night on the road, 53-51.

The Tigers fall to 18-3 on the season and will wrap up regular-season play Friday at home against Fairlawn.

Jackson, down four at the half, had a good third quarter and had a lead of 10 points late in the period.

“But we just let them back in it,” said head coach Scott Elchert.

Jackson had the last shot in regulation, but Elchert said it wasn’t a good shot and it was off the mark.

In overtime, the two teams exchanged points, and Lima Temple took a two-point lead with :14 remaining.

“We called a timeout and drew up a play that worked to perfection,” said Elchert.

“Gavin Wildermuth got a three to put us up one with only 3.9 seconds left.”

But Lima Temple inbounded the ball and Justin Krochler launched a three from what Elchert said was 35 feet away, and it went in to give Temple a two-point win.

“I guess you live by the sword, you die by the sword,” Elchert said. “We were an uncharacteristic 7-for-13 from the foul line and some were crucial free throws. And we missed two wide open power finishes at the bucket. And we also took a three-pointer when we had a two-point lead late in regulation that we didn’t need to take.”

Wildermuth hit four threepointers for the Tigers and finished with 15 points, and Alex Meyer added 13.

Rockets get past Covington ANNA — Anna capped a good weekend with another victory, beating Covington 5446 in non-league boys basketball action Saturday.

The Rockets go to 9-12 on the season and will finish off regular-season play Friday at home against Fort Loramie.

The two teams were deadlocked at 36-36 after three periods, but Anna got the lead in the final quarter and protected it with outstanding free throw shooting.

“They played a lot of zone in the second half and we struggled for a while,” said Anna coach Nate Barhorst.

“But we got more aggressive against it and Christian Williams had a big three in the fourth quarter. And we did a good job of running the clock and hitting our free throws.

The Rockets were 14-for-17 at the free throw line for the

Hoosiers dominate Bucks 81-68 COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP)— After a stunning loss, the Indiana Hoosiers were on a mission to reaffirm just how good they were.

There was no questioning their ability Sunday.

Victor Oladipo scored a career-high 26 points, Cody Zeller added 24 and Christian Watford 20 to lead No. 1 Indiana back from a demoralizing loss to a huge road win in beat-

ing No. 10 Ohio State 81-68.

“It was putting teams away, playing to win and not just playing for the time to run out,” Zeller said of the lessons learned from an upset loss at Illinois on Thursday.“So, we made that adjustment pretty well.”

Boy, did they. The Hoosiers (21-3, 9-2 Big Ten) dominated the second half while making some history and staying in the thick of the Big Ten race.

“We knew we let one get away from us,” Watford said.

“At that point you just have to move on to the next one.”

The Hoosiers were coming off an epic collapse that might have caused the undoing of many teams. The Illini went on a 13-2 run to close the game, with Indiana turning the ball over late and then allowing an uncontested layup at the buzzer of a 74-72 shocker.

Less than three days later, they more than rebounded with a signature win in hostile territory.

The victory was Indiana’s first against a Top-10 conference opponent on the road in more than 20 years — since a win in 1993 at Iowa. It was also the Hoosiers’ first win against any team in the top 10 on the road since beating Notre Dame in 2000.

seconds remaining.

“I called a timeout and set up a play to isolate Sylvia Hudson, who was mismatched in the post,” said Mummey.

“Aaliyah Wise from the high post was supposed to make the pass down low, but was not contested and buried a huge shot from the elbow to put us up two.”

A foul at the other end put Greenville on the line for two and one was made to make it a onepoint game. Then Hudson was fouled and the freshman calmly sank both to make it 53-50.

Sidney guarded against the three-pointer at that point and Greenville couldn’t score.

Konner Harris was fouled and sank both to

nail down the victory.

Harris poured in 30 points for Sidney, hitting four more three-pointers and going 6-for-6 from the free throw line. She heads into postseason play with 68 three-pointers this season.

Hudson added 13 points.

“I give the girls all the credit,” said Mummey.

“They came out and played hard. Konner had a great game at both ends of the floor and Sylvia had eight rebounds to go with her points.”

She also credited the defense of Lindsey Sturwold on Greenville’s Megan Galloway, who came into the game averaging around 18. She started off well, scoring
