MINSTER (AP) — Ohio has two quarter-million-dollar winners from the Mega Millions drawing. The Ohio Lottery says tickets sold at a gas station in Minster and a supermar-
ket in East Cleveland each matched the five regular numbers on Friday but missed the Mega Ball number. That means each ticket is good for a $250,000 prize in the multistate lottery game. The Ohio Lottery has not yet identified the winners.
Nationwide, no one had all the winning numbers to take the jackpot. The top prize rises to an estimated $51 million for the next drawing, on Tuesday. The winning numbers were: 3, 4, 18, 29 and 50. The Mega Ball was 20, and the Megaplier was 4.

MINSTER — Minster Village Council discussed updates on a water protection plan in the village and plans to apply for a transportation grant program at its recent meeting. The village has received approval from the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency for its village’s Source Water Protection Plan. The plan, which is required by the 1996 Amendment to the Safe Drinking Water Act, will update the village's previous Wellhead Protection Plan, which was completed in the 1990s. The revised plan includes the previous fiveyear time-of-travel area and includes a new oneyear time-of-travel area. The new plan also includes an updated potential contaminant-source inventory and susceptibility analysis. Don Harrod, village administrator, told council that the village has sent a letter of interest to the Ohio Department of Transportation for the 2013-14 funding year Transportation Enhancement Grant program. The letter of interest is the first step in being able to apply for additional TEA funding. The grant would be used for the continuation of decorative street lighting and trees along the streets on Fourth Street from Garfield Street to the corporation limit. ODOT will notify the village if the letter of interest is accepted and a formal application can be submitted then. Harrod told council members that electrical crews have started installing two lights around the new parking lot north of the library. Progress is continuing on the West Industrial Park. Harrod noted that crews cut down the road to install the remaining storm sewer. Once the storm sewer is installed, work will begin on the road base for the curb and gutter this spring. Peterson Construction has been installing siding on the operations build-
ing and completing other work at the wastewater treatment plant. Equipment will be set up in the buildings as it arrives. An update was given on the Fourth Street renovation project. Harrod told council members that a meeting was held with Brumbaugh Construction and work will resume on Fourth Street around March 19, if the weather cooperates. The company plans to complete the installation of catch basins and relocate fire hydrants as well as complete other work. Harrod and Doug Hood, from Efficiency Smart, have been visiting several businesses in the Minster area, including Advanced Plastic Recycling, Dannon, Graham Packaging and Western Ohio True Value Hardware. The men explained the village’s energy efficiency program so the businesses can take advantage of any available savings. They will be meeting with other businesses in the future. Council discussed and heard a motion to approve removing Adam Olberding and Brian Sextro
and Catering
from introductory status to full-time permanent status as village employees. Council discussed and heard a motion to approve authorizing a purchase order to the city of St. Marys for income tax collection. Council discussed and heard a motion to approve authorizing a purchase order to the Minster Area Life Squad for contracted EMS services. Council also heard the readings of several ordinances and resolutions and approved: • Suspending the rules and approving an ordinance amending an ordinance establishing the salary administration plan providing for consideration of increases in compensation on an annual basis. • Resolutions thanking Edwin Kaiser for his 17 years of service and Mark Thieman for 18 years of service to the Minster Zoning Board. • Suspending the rules, declaring an emergency and approving an ordinance establishing annual 2012 appropriations.

Roy F. Zwiebel
LIMA — Ohio Supreme Court Justice Robert Cupp received the second-highest rating available from the Ohio State Bar Association recently. Cupp, of Lima, a Republican, was “highly recommended” as he seeks a second six-year term on the high court. The recommendation indicates 70 percent approved of his candidacy. Cupp is a former 12th District state senator. The district includes Shelby County. Two candidates vying for the Democratic nomination to do battle with Cupp received a lesser score. The bar’s 25-member Commission on Judicial Candidates “recommended” both former Warren-based appellate Judge William O’Neil and Hamilton County Municipal Judge Fanon A. Rucker. They received the third-highest rating available. The rating means 60 percent of the commission members gave the two Democrats a favorable vote. The candidates were judged on their legal knowledge and ability, compeprofessional tence, judicial temperament, integrity, diligence, health, personable responsibility and public service. Commissioners interviewed the three candidates, reviewed materials they submitted and conducted personal inquiries of lawyers, judges and other sources. Other recommendations available to the commission were its highest rating of “superior” and lowest of “not recommended.” Two other seats on the high court will be on this year’s ballot, but neither the incumbents nor their challengers face competition for their parties’ nominations in the March 6 primary election.

Scherer, of Covington; and sister in-law, Maya (Patricia) Scherer, of Troy. She also will be missed by her friend of more than 40 years, Georgia Sirch, of Piqua; and two very special caregivers, Robin Mitchell and Marlene. Thanks, ladies, from our heart. May you be as blessed as you were a blessing for her. She was a member of the Redman’s Lodge Degree of Pocahontas Chinquilla Council of Troy. Her body was donated to Boonshoft Medical School at Wright State University, Dayton, Ohio. A memorial service will be announced at a later date.

Accused militia members go on trial BY ED WHITE Associated Press

THIS PHOTO taken Feb. 1 shows Barbara Winters (l-r), Helene Caufman and Marlene Gordon playing the ancient chinese game called mah jongg in Beachwood. Mah jongg was introduced in the United States a century ago and has been kept alive for generations by Jewish women, a phenomenon no one can fully explain.
Ohio women help mah jongg game live on BY MICHAEL O’MALLEY Associated Press BEACHWOOD (AP) — It’s midday in the lobby of Embassy Suites and the mah jongg ladies, filling a cluster of fourtop tables near a display of live plants and a manmade waterfall, are busy slapping down bams, dots and dragons. At one table, four regular Wednesday players are deep in concentration, studying numbers and symbols on the mah jongg tiles — craks, bams, dots, dragons, flowers, soaps, jokers and winds — each player trying to build a winning hand. The constant shish of the waterfall mixes with sounds of clicking tiles and jangling bracelets as the foursome’s fingers — nails polished bright red — quickly pick up and discard, one lady hoping for a joker, another needing a “2 bam.” There is little talk at this table, but Helene Kaufman, 82, of Beachwood, can no longer hold her tongue. “You’ve got schmutz on your mouth,” she tells Barbara Winter, 77, of Mayfield. Winter fingers her lip, wiping away a dab of chocolate from free cookies offered daily to the mah jongg players by the hotel’s restaurant, CJ’s American Bar & Grill. Iced tea and coffee are also on the house. And sometimes banana cream pie.
It’s CJ’s show of appreciation to the dozens of mah jongg ladies who lunch at the restaurant every weekday before taking their places near the atrium waterfall for an afternoon of mah jongg, an ancient Chinese game similar to the card game rummy but played with domino-size tiles. “They’re fun ladies,” said CJ’s manager Aaron Zanders, 27. “It’s like having 100 of my grandmothers here.” Mah jongg was introduced in the United States a century ago and has been kept alive for generations by Jewish women, a phenomenon no one can fully explain. Some play “maajh” at each other’s homes. Others play in hotel lobbies, shopping mall food courts, municipal recreation centers, country clubs, book stores or synagogue social halls. They play at Heinen’s grocery store on South Green Road in University Heights, Park Synagogue in Pepper Pike and the Eton Chagrin Boulevard shopping mall in Woodmere. Diehards might even take a maajh cruise in the Caribbean. “Seven days, all women,” says Kaufman. “New Yawkers. They’ll kill you.” At a recent game at the Solon home of Stacy Bauer, 48, she is joined by friends Marcy Fisher, 51, of Orange, Stacy Edelstein, 44, also of Orange, and Lauren Spilman, 47, of Moreland Hills.
DETROIT (AP) — Seven members of a Midwest militia accused of plotting to overthrow the government are set to stand trial, where jurors will decide whether federal authorities prevented an attack by homegrown extremists or simply made too much of the boasts by weekend warriors who had pledged to “take our nation back.” Opening statements are set for Monday once a jury is seated in the trial of members of the Hutaree militia, who are charged with conspiring to commit sedition, or rebellion, as well as weapon crimes. Following the March 2010 arrests in southern Michigan, Ohio and Indiana, U.S. Attorney Bar-
bara McQuade said the time had come for authorities to “take them down.” An undercover agent had recorded the group’s leader, David Stone, saying the militia needed to “start huntin’” police soon. But since their capture, only one of nine people charged has struck a plea deal, an unusually low number in a case with so many defendants. Their attorneys have maintained a consistent stance: The anti-government talk was simply colorful yet aimless bluster akin to frustrated pals drowning sorrows around a campfire. “I’m going to fight it tooth and nail,” David Stone’s wife and co-defendant Tina Mae Stone said during a break in jury selection last week. “It was just a bunch of good ol’
Dayton ballet, orchestra, opera merge in rare move DAYTON (AP) — The Dayton Ballet, Dayton Opera and Dayton Philharmonic Orchestra are merging under one management structure as a new nonprofit organization, a rare move that leaders say could boost artistic collaboration and may be a model for arts groups elsewhere to consider. It’s certainly not unheard of for arts groups to combine to collaborate and to save money, but industry officials say the Dayton model is unusual because the new Dayton Performing Alliance announced this month will have singular management but retain multiple artistic directors, the Dayton Daily News reported.
That’s what makes Dayton stand out when compared to arts groups in Europe, where it’s common for a single operation to include opera, symphony and ballet companies. “One person typically acts as an artistic director in the European model,” said Douglas Sonntag, dance program director and performing arts division team leader for the National Endowment for the Arts. “It’s going to be an interesting experiment to see how one executive director and three artistic directors work together there.” The three merging groups — the first of which, the orchestra, was established in 1933 — have budgets totaling
maintenance but aren’t inherently dangerous. He said such bridges get detailed visual inspections every two years that cost up to 10 times as much as inspections for other bridges. The structures make up less than 1 percent of the more than 14,000 bridges along Ohio highways and interstates.

The church is the people. And we were still strong,

the deaths of two people. Officers say a car struck the minivan shortly after 2:30 a.m. Sunday, forcing it off the highway, and then fled the scene. The van flipped several times, ejecting the male driver and his female passenger. The male died at the scene, and the female later died at a hospital. Their names and ages were not released. Police were seeking information on the car that hit them. It’s described as a maroon Dodge Charger with large chrome rims, tinted windows and likely front-end damage.

As church members gathered to watch, authorities offered a disturbing account of the suspected cause, saying they had taken into custody a man they believed had driven a stolen BMW into the building, set it on fire and then watched from a nearby playground swing as it burned.

COLUMBUS (AP) — Pastor Roger Williams entered the new year praying that New Horizons Baptist Church would be challenged, and what members got was a trial by fire — two blazes in one month. The Marysville building was destroyed by arson, and the congregation of about 150 people lost some of its remaining equipment in an accidental barn fire four weeks later. It proved to be a test of faith and forgiveness,

$6.5 million. The challenges involved in such a complex merger, including blending personnel and preserving each group’s mission, help explain why mergers are attempted more rarely than they’re suggested, the newspaper said. “Organizations with similar missions occasionally join forces, but beyond that there are obstacles related to the public nature of the arts and the passion that donors and ticket buyers may have for one art form over another,” said Bruce Thibodeau, president of Arts Consulting Group, which is working on a survey of arts groups that includes a category about exploring mergers.

Santorum on the attack PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — A day after Mitt Romney regained some momentum in the Republican presidential contest, his rival Rick Santorum went on the attack, calling the front-runner “desperate” while promising to compete aggressively to win the state where Romney grew up. Santorum said Sunday he could do “exceptionally well” in Michigan, where Romney’s father served as governor. The Midwestern state and Arizona host Republican presidential nominating contests on Feb. 28. “We’re going to spend a lot of time in Michigan and Arizona, and those are up next. And that’s where we’ve really been focusing on,” Santorum told ABC’s “This Week.” He suggested that a strong showing in those contests would make the presidential contest “a two-man race,” dismissing current rivals Newt Gingrich and Ron Paul.
Gas drilling slowing PITTSBURGH (AP) — As natural gas prices continue to drop, the recent nationwide boom in drilling is slowing. Drillers don’t make money if prices go too low — and drilling wells isn’t cheap. “It is safe to say that there will be fewer natural gas wells drilled in 2012,” said Kathryn Klaber, president of the Marcellus Shale Coalition, an industry group based in Pennsylvania. In recent weeks, several companies have announced plans to cut gas production around the nation, but experts say the low prices are also opening up new markets.
Trial to bring horror back BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) — A dream honeymoon to scuba dive on Australia’s Great Barrier Reef turned into a terrible nightmare, and the horror is about to play out years later in a courtroom in Alabama. An Alabama man who already served prison time in Australia after pleading guilty to a reduced charged in the death of his bride goes to trial Monday, accused of murdering her for insurance money. Tina Thomas Watson drowned during a scuba dive on the reef just days after her wedding in October 2003. Gabe Watson is charged with capital murder — which normally is punishable by death — but faces life in prison without parole if convicted because of a deal the state made years ago with Australian officials to guarantee his return to the U.S.

Aulakh’s friend had left a message with the district after the chain was lost. Sewer Maintenance Supervisor Kris Ozaki said workers remembered the message and used it to trace the necklace back to Aulakh.

Greece passes new austerity deal amid rioting BY NICHOLAS PAPHITIS Associated Press ATHENS, Greece (AP) — Greece’s parliament early Monday approved harsh new austerity measures demanded by bailout creditors to save the debt-crippled country from bankruptcy, after rioters in central Athens torched buildings, looted shops and clashed with riot police. The historic vote paves the way for Greece’s European partners and the International Monetary Fund to release 130 billion ($171 billion) in new rescue loans without which Greece would default on its debt mountain next month and likely leave the eurozone — a scenario that would further roil global markets. Sunday’s clashes erupted after more than 100,000 protesters marched to the parliament to rally against the drastic cuts, which will ax one in five civil service jobs and slash the minimum wage by more than a fifth. At least 10 buildings were set on fire, including a movie theater, bank and cafeteria, and looters smashed dozens of shops in the worst riot damage in years. Dozens of police officers and at least 37 pro-

RIOT POLICE walk through the streets during clashes in the northern Greek port city of Thessaloniki late Sunday. Greek lawmakers on Monday approved harsh new austerity measures demanded by bailout creditors to save the debt-crippled nation from bankruptcy, after rioters in central Athens torched buildings, looted shops and clashed with riot police. testers were injured, 23 suspected rioters were arrested and a further 25 detained. As the vote got under way early Monday, Prime Minister Lucas Papademos urged calm, pointing to the country’s dire financial straits. “Vandalism and destruction have no place in a democ-
racy and will not be tolerated,” Papademos told parliament. “I call on the public to show calm. At these crucial times, we do not have the luxury of this type of protest. I think everyone is aware of how serious the situation is.” Since May 2010, Greece has survived on a $145 billion

(110 billion) bailout from its European partners and the IMF. When that proved insufficient, the new rescue package was approved. The deal, which has not yet been finalized, will be combined with a massive bond swap deal to write off half the country’s privately held debt.

in transportation, education and other areas. While administration officials on Sunday defended the plan as a balanced approach, Republicans belittled the effort as a repeat of failed policies that did too little to attack soaring costs in such programs as Medicare and threatened growth by raising taxes. The debate is almost certain to go all the way to Election Day in November with gridlock keeping Congress from resolving many pressing issues on expiring tax cuts and across-the-board spending cuts until a lame-duck session at year’s end.
Obama’s spending blueprint for the budget year that begins Oct. 1 projects a deficit for this year of $1.33 trillion. That would mean four straight years of trillion-dollar-plus deficits. The budget will project a decline in the deficit to $901 billion in 2013 and continued improvements shrinking the deficit to $575 billion in 2018. Republicans said Obama’s plan was a stark reminder that the Democratic president had failed to meet the pledge he made after taking office in 2009 to cut the deficit in half by the end of his first term. But Jacob Lew, Obama’s chief of staff,
said the administration had to contend with a deep recession and soaring unemployment that had driven the deficits higher than anyone anticipated. He said Obama’s plan would cut the deficit below 3 percent of gross domestic product by 2018, to levels that economists generally view as sustainable. He said faster deficit cuts now would set back an economy still struggling with high unemployment. Lew, Obama’s former budget chief, also said it was critical that Congress agree to extend a payroll tax cut due to expire at the end of February. Failure to extend it, he said, would cause another hit to the economy.
Grammy Awards struggle with honoring Houston BY NEKESA MUMBI MOODY Associated Press LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Grammys got underway Sunday as The Recording Academy grappled with the task of paying tribute to one of their fallen greats, Whitney Houston, while at the same time honoring the best in music, from the irreverent to the poignant. It was a delicate balance. The show started off with Bruce Springsteen, complete with a string section, performing his new song “We Take Care of Our Own,” a rousing song that references the troubles of the nation. But soon after, a somber LL Cool J, the show’s host, appeared in black, and told the audience: “There is no way around this. We’ve had a death in our family.” He then led the audience in prayer to “our fallen sister, Whitney Houston. “Heavenly father, we thank you for sharing our sister Whitney with us,” he said, as celebrities like Lady Gaga and Miranda Lambert bowed their heads in prayer. “Though she is gone too soon, we remain truly blessed to have been touched by her beautiful spirit.” He introduced a clip of a glowing Houston singing one of her best-known songs, “I Will Always Love You.” LL Cool said afterward: “Whitney, we will always love you.” In his performance of “Runaway Baby,” Bruno Mars also mentioned the death: “Tonight we’re celebrating. Tonight we’re celebrating the
beautiful Miss Whitney Houston.” A tribute to Houston featuring Jennifer Hudson was to take place during the main ceremony. Houston died on the eve of the Grammys at the Beverly Hilton Hotel, where she was preparing to attend a preGrammy party. Before the death of one of pop music’s most important figures, the pre-Grammy buzz focused on whether Adele — 2011’s topselling artist and set to make her first public performance on the show since having vocal cord surgery — would be the queen of the Grammys. Although Kanye West led all nominees with seven and Bruno Mars and the Foo Fighters tied Adele with six nominations, she was favored to sweep all of her categories. Still, while Houston’s death cast a shadow over the night’s winners, it did not obscure them. The Foo Fighters emerged as big winners, capturing five of the six categories they were nominated in, and they still had a chance to win the evening’s top award, album of the year. Frontman Dave Grohl noted that the band made their album, “Wasting Light,” in their garage. “To me this award means a lot because it shows that the human element of making music is what’s most important. Singing into a microphone, learning to play an instrument and learning to do your craft, that’s the most important thing for people to do,” he said as the band accepted their best rock performance trophy for “Walk.”

in a hotel room at the Beverly Hilton Hotel, where she was preparing for a pre-Grammy gala. Officials did not say when an autopsy would occur, but any cause of death determination will likely be delayed while they await toxicology results. Meanwhile, paramedics say they took Houston’s daughter to a Los Angeles hospital Sunday morning for unspecified medical reasons. The Beverly Hills Fire Department says Bobbi Kristina Brown was taken from the Beverly Hills Hilton around 10:30 a.m. Sunday. An email message sent to a representative of her father, singer Bobby Brown, was not immediately returned. Sunday’s Grammys were to feature a musical tribute to Houston by Jennifer Hudson, and the show is likely to feature remembrances of Houston from fellow musicians on the red carpet and during the live telecast. Houston herself won six Grammys and had been expected to perform at the pre-awards gala Saturday night thrown by music impresario Clive Davis, her longtime mentor. Davis went ahead with his annual party and concert, which were held at the same hotel where Houston’s body was found — and where it remained for most of Saturday night. He dedicated the evening to her and asked for a moment of silence. Houston had been at rehearsals for the Davis concert on Thursday, coaching singers Brandy and Monica, according to a person who was at the event but was not authorized to speak publicly about it. The person said Houston looked disheveled, was sweating profusely and liquor and cigarettes could be smelled on her breath. It was the latest of countless stories about the decline of a uniquely gifted and beautiful woman, once the golden girl of the music industry.

I take two or three, chop them up and microwave for 30 seconds or so. Be sure to cover the plate. — L.E. from New Hampshire MAIL CALL Dear Heloise: I send in numerous donations by mail. As a result, I get even more requests for donations, so many that I couldn’t possibly respond to all. I have learned, however, not to just toss the requests without opening them, because some charities are now putting stamps on their return envelopes. I cover their addresses and the bar
codes on the envelopes with labels and use them for other mailings. — Linda H., Omaha, Neb. MAKEUP MISTAKE Dear Readers: Bought a lighter shade of makeup foundation, then, when you got it home, realized it was too light? Instead of throwing it out, try using it as an under-eye concealer to hide dark circles. — Heloise SOUND OFF Dear Heloise: I don’t mind waiting my turn in a checkout lane at the grocery store, but I hate it when a checker opens a new lane and, instead of going to the next person in line and saying “Next,” just flips on the lane light. There is a mad dash of people rushing to make it to that lane first. — A Shopper in Colorado

Careers in agriculture include not only our local famers, but scientists working in areas of food, plants, animals and production of goods and services. Not to mention the business men and women who work in banking, marketing, sales, and trade.

FFA students attend seminar DEGRAFF — Eight students of the Riverside FFA Chapter participated in the 212/360 Conference, held Jan. 21 and 22 in Columbus. The boiling point of water is 212, and it is the first component in the National FFA Leadership and Personal Growth Series. It is a two-day personal development conference designed primarily for high school freshman and sophomores. Students complete a talent assessment, identify the skills needed and desired for success, and
assess their personal interests. FFA members are provided with tools of motivation that are relevant to their everyday lives. Students discover the many careers available in agriculture and the many growth opportunities available within FFA. At the close of the conference and beyond, participants make purposeful, meaningful choices that will lead them to excellence. The second component is 360, building upon the curriculum of 212. It offers an experi-
ence specifically for high school juniors and seniors. During the conference students explore the wide variety of careers available in the field of agriculture. Students learn how best to prepare for their future careers whether through hands-on experience or advanced education, while polishing their leadership and communications skills. Participants then generate ideas on how to utilize their leadership skills in community service and volunteerism efforts.
tunities. Each day American farmers are producing food and fiber for more than 154 people in the US and abroad and with the world population expect to increase by 2.3 billion by 2050, agriculture’s job is to help keep food on your tables. So as we approach National Agriculture Week, March 5-11, let’s keep in mind the opportunities agriculture provides our community and our country. Don’t just thank farmers that week, but let’s thank anyone who works with food, fiber or products produced to keep America going. Finally, as someone who works in the agriculture community each day, I say check us out! Help us keep food on your tables and join the agriculture movement.

DR. WALLACE: I have found a wonderful way to communicate with parents when emotions are running high. Instead of yelling, crying or slamming a door, I go to my room and write them a letter expressing my thoughts. Sometimes I write them a poem when I feel creative. It really works! I don’t always get my way, but my parents at least understand my views, and they do their best to explain why the answer is “no.” I’d like to encourage all teens to give my method a try. It’s effective and it keeps nerves from getshattered. — ting Nameless, McComb, Miss. NAMELESS: Excellent idea! The power of the pen can never be underestimated.

In the early days of shingles, however, medicines can sometimes shorten the infection. Valacyclovir and famciclovir are two such medicines. Burow’s solution, available in all drugstores, applied to the rash and covered with a wet compress eases pain. For postherpetic neuralgia, Neurontin, amitriptyline, Lyrica, Gralise and lidocaine patches usually can control it. Qutenza patch, applied by a doctor or nurse, is the latest treatment for persistent pain. The booklet on shingles explains this common condition in greater detail.

someone who also has trust issues, and that he would tell you he thinks you haven’t been honest with him is cause for concern. You have been friendly for some time; therefore, he should have assessed your character before this. Back off, because the only person who can resolve his insecurities is Byron. Your instincts are correct. DEAR ABBY: My mother-in-law recently moved into our home to escape a bad relationship. While I’m happy to have her, increasingly I want to send her packing. She constantly “baby talks,” whether in the house or, God forbid, out in public. It drives me nuts. I sometimes won-

She has been named an Outstanding Class Member every year and Outstanding Concert Band member. ––––– The Sidney Lady Jackets accomplished something Thursday night against Greenville that not many expected to take place. It was more than just the 60-40 victory, which was more difficult than the score indicates; it was the clinching of the Greater Miami Valley conference championship. Rated no more than third in many preseason estimations, the Lady Jackets, who finish the regular season at 19-1 and 13-1, accomplished a goal upon which coach Maggi Williams placed a high priority. ––––– A Botkins Road woman recently found an identified flying object that had taken off from Chicago. Edith Metz said she found a balloon in a hay field on Botkins road Saturday. The balloon carried a message stating that Melissa Grzybech had released the object from her school in Chicago as part of Catholic Schools week Feb 1 to7.
DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I have read that men who take Aleve for pain are twice as likely to have difficulty achieving an erection. Is this true? If so, how long does it stay in your system after you have stopped? I am only 60. — B.W. ANSWER: Aleve is not a major cause of impotence among users. It is included in lists of possible causes. Regular Aleve has a half-life of 12 to 17 hours. That means half the dose of Aleve has left the body in that time span. In another, equal-length span of time, another half of 50 years the drug has gone. Feb. 13, 1962 The entire drug is Miss Jenetta Geyer, eliminated in relatively daughter of Mr. and Mrs. short order.

If the answer is yes, then she thinks her behavior is “cute” because she has gotten away with it for so many years and now does it unconsciously. If the answer is no, then perhaps it’s time to have her evaluated. Sudoku puzzles also appear on the Sidney Daily News Web site at www.sidneydailynews.com.

Josh Franklin’s Far Out Family Blog Written by Steven Coburn-Griffis Illustrated by Isaac Schumacher Chapter Four: Week Four September 29, 1862 Wilf, We are in the south of Ohio now, and Kentucky, and we are in it for good or ill. I have had shots taken at me three times and have returned fire, as well. I have taken no hurt, aside from a small cut on my right hand when I stumbled and grabbed another fellow’s bayonet. It was a foolish act on my part and I was the butt of jokes for several days. You needn’t tell Ma of this for it would only cause her needless grief. The injury is almost healed and there is, thankfully, no sign of infection. I have discovered a curious thing down here at the bottom of our great state of Ohio. I have found that there are no few Ohioans who have taken up the cause of the Confederacy. In point of fact, many of those men we hunt through the Kentucky hills are men from Ohio, even from areas as far north as our own home. When we go out on sortie, when we hunt, we try to capture, not kill. And more times than not we do just that. Even so, I have had the chance to talk with a few of these men and they are so wrong-headed as not to listen to reason. One man with whom I spoke went so far as to call President Lincoln the Devil Himself, and just because Mr. Lincoln wishes to free the slaves. That was that man’s worry: that the President would dare to tell another man what to do with his property even when that property is a
man himself! I despair for men such as this, and for the future of our Great Nation should the Union fail in its efforts. This we cannot allow. This I shall not allow. Give my love, again, to Ma. Tell Da I shall be careful. Ethan You know, when I read this letter, I thought, “But Ohio’s in the North and wasn’t this whole thing between the North and the South?” Goes to show you that even someone as wonderful as me can’t know it all. As it turns out, though, we can try. So I went down to the library and then got on the internet to see what was what. And you know what? There were some Ohioans who were pretty important to the Confederate cause. I mean, there were even a couple of generals. Like Bushrod Johnson (seriously, where do they get these names?) and Phillip Luckett, Roswell Ripley, Otho Strahl and Robert Hatton. Charles Clark was from Cincinnati and he led a division in the Army of Mississippi during the Battle of Shiloh and then was made the pro-Confederate Governor of Missouri.
Did You Know?
And then there was William Quantrill, who was born in what is now called Dover, Ohio. Even though he was raised in what they call a Unionist home, he just hated everything about the Union. He worked as a school teacher, a teamster and a professional gambler (if you want to call that work). Then he was made a Captain in the Confederate Army. Quantrill and his gang, known as Quantrill’s Raiders (go figure), were more about messing with families than they were about fighting soldiers. They were bushwhackers, men that weren’t really a part of any army and that liked causing trouble. They operated mostly out in the rural parts of Kansas and were responsible for the Lawrence Massacre. I’d go into detail, but this is a family-oriented blog and I just don’t like violence. If you want to know more, there’s tons of stuff about him out there. You just have to look.
In the United States, Miss Esther Howland is given credit for sending the first valentine cards. Commercial valentines were introduced in the 1800s and now the date is very commercialized. The town of Loveland, Colorado, does a large post office business around February 14. The spirit of good continues as valentines are sent out with sentimental verses and children exchange valentine cards at school.

CHAPTER FOUR: QUESTIONS & ACTIVITIES Up until now, Josh has begun his blog with his own thoughts. Why do you think he led with an entry from Uncle Ethan this time? Ethan, and Josh through his research, discovered that there were Ohioians who fought on both sides of the Civil War.

Valentine’s Day February 14, is Valentine’s Day. Valentine’s Day is a day for romance and love. Valentine’s Day is celebrated in many countries around the world, including Japan, the United States and the United Kingdom. You see a lot of romantic symbols on Valentine’s Day. For example, many couples give each other roses. To give someone flowers at any time of year is romantic, and as roses are a symbol of romance, roses on Valentine’s Day are especially popular. Another symbol of romance that is seen frequently on Valentine’s Day is Cupid. In Roman mythology, Cupid was the son of Venus, the goddess of love. Cupid was often shown as a small, more playful version of his mother. His golden

Valentine Traditions Hundreds of years ago in England, many children dressed up as adults on Valentine's Day. They went singing from home to home. One verse they sang was: Good morning to you, valentine; Curl your locks as I do mine – Two before and three behind. Good morning to you, valentine.
Cupid
arrows were magical and even slight contact with one of the arrow tips could make a person fall madly in love. One understanding of romantic love – call courtly love – dates back to medieval times, and sending cards on Valentine’s Day dates back equally far. In 1415, a prisoner in the Tower of London sent a poem to his wife. This is considered to be one of the earliest recorded valentines. For more than 400 hundred years, people made their own valentines by writing poems like this. In the Victorian era, in the mid1800s, companies started producing valentines for people to buy. Now many people buy, rather than make, their valentines. Almost one billion valentines are sent every year. According to the Greeting Card Association, 85 percent of the valentines are bought by women. Of course, people
don’t just buy cards. People buy candles and balloons and many other things, often in the shape of a heart. You can find boxes of candy that are shaped like hearts, or candy that is itself in the shape of a heart! The presents might be something small and sweet or something big
and dramatic. Some people get engaged (promise to marry each other) on Valentine’s Day. Although Valentine’s Day is generally romantic, many people like to use the day to celebrate any kind of love – including love of friends and family.
In Wales, wooden love spoons were carved and given as gifts on February 14. Hearts, keys and keyholes were favorite decorations on the spoons. The decoration meant, "You unlock my heart!" In the Middle Ages, young men and women drew names from a bowl to see who their valentines would be. They would wear these names on their sleeves for one week. To wear your heart on your sleeve now means that it is easy for other people to know how you are feeling. In some countries, a young woman may receive a gift of clothing from a young man. If she keeps the gift, it means she will marry him. Some people used to believe that if a woman saw a robin flying overhead on Valentine's Day, it meant she would marry a sailor. If she saw a sparrow, she would marry a poor man and be very happy. If she saw a goldfinch, she would marry a millionaire. A love seat is a wide chair. It was first made to seat one woman and her wide dress. Later, the love seat or courting seat had two sections, often in an S-shape. In this way, a couple could sit together -- but not too closely! Think of five or six names of boys or girls you might marry, As you twist the stem of an apple, recite the names until the stem comes off. You will marry the person whose name you were saying when the stem fell off. Pick a dandelion that has gone to seed. Take a deep breath and blow the seeds into the wind. Count the seeds that remain on the stem. That is the number of children you will have. If you cut an apple in half and count how many seeds are inside, you will also know how many children you will have.

Decorate Grocery Bags for Earth Day!
Local st distribut ores will e bags to the paper shop the wee pers k April 23 of - 28
The Earth Day Groceries Project gives students a chance to create their own environmental messages, using paper grocery bags as their medium. The Miami County Solid Waste District/Green Gals is working with Kroger to provide the bags. All a school has to do to participate in this free activity is to designate a coordinator and fill out the request form below. Requests should be made no later than Friday, March 2 by calling Cindy Bach at 440-3488 x8705 or sending and email to cbach@miamicountysed.com. The paper grocery bags will be delivered to your school the week of March 12th (hopefully). Once the bags are decorated, someone from your school should take the bags either to the Kroger store in Piqua or Troy. The stores will distribute the bags to shoppers during the week of April 23rd - 28th. Hundreds of schools nationwide have been involved in this project for years. Students can be as creative as they want in sharing their thoughts on how to respect the Earth. For more information and for ideas on how to decorate the bags, take a look at the website: www.earthdaybags.org. This activity is also open to organizations other than schools. Cub Scout packs, 4-H groups, environmental camps, homeschooling groups, after-school programs and many other can join in. All are welcome!

1. Cut a large heart from brown paper using pinking shears. 2. Using a hole punch, make a series of holes around the edges of the card. Make an even number of holes. 3. String ribbon or yarn through the holes. Tie the ends in a bow (this is the hardest part of this project). If the bow doesn't look good, you can glue the ends of the ribbon to the back of the card instead. 4. Write a message (or draw a picture) on your Valentine card.

20-0 Anna completes perfect regular season ANNA — Although Anna won the Division III state championship last season, this year’s team has done it one better in the regular season. The state champs lost a regular-season game, something the current edition of the Lady Rockets did not do. Anna pulled away in the fourth quarter to a 61-35 drubbing of a good Minster team Saturday here to finish the regular campaign with a perfect 20-0 record. The Lady Rockets open defense of their state championship on Wednesday at Tipp City against Dixie in what should be just a formality. Game time is 6 p.m. Anna again had a big first quarter, jumping to a 20-8 lead. Minster hung around after that, and was down just 11 after outscoring the Lady Rockets 16-13 in the third quarter. But Anna outdid Minster 16-1 in the final period to turn it into a rout. Minster is now 13-5 after its second straight setback, and is at St. Henry Thursday. For Anna, Ashley Frohne had 19 points, including 11for-12 at the free throw line. Cayla Bensman had 10 points and Natalie Billing 10 rebounds. Bensman just missed a double-double, adding eight steals. Anna held Minster to just 26 percent shooting on 13-for50. Anna was 21-for-57 from the field for 37 percent, and put on a free-throw shooting clinic, hitting 19-for-20.

Buzzer-beater wins for Loramie ST. HENRY — Fort Loramie head coach Carla Siegel said coaches draw up last-second plays all the time, but they don’t always work. But on Saturday, she said her girls ran the play to perfect, and it got Renee Meyer free for a layup at the buzzer to beat St. Henry in nonleague action. The 52-50 victory ended Loramie’s regular season at 14-6, and they now prepare for sectional play Saturday at 12:15 against Riverside at Sidney. “There were 4.3 seconds left and we had the ball under St. Henry’s basket,” Siegel said. “We inbounded the ball to Reggi Brandewie, and she got it to Darian Rose. Darian took two dribbles and when she did, St. Henry came up on her. She threw it down to Renee, and she banked it in at the buzzer.” Loramie trailed the entire game, even by 10 with one minute to go in the third quarter. But the Lady Redskins really clamped down defensively at the end, not allowing St. Henry any shots at the bucket over the final threeand-a-half minutes. Rose had 23 and was 7-for7 from the line, Meyer had a double-double of 10 points and 11 rebounds, and Brandewie finished with 10 points. “Meg Westerheide played a great floor game for us,” said Siegel. “She had two steals

Jackson whips LTC to run mark to 19-0 JACKSON CENTER â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Jackson Center Tigers moved within one game of a perfect regular season Saturday night, whipping Lima Temple Christian in non-league boys basketball action, 51-33. The win puts the Tigers at 19-0 on the season, and sets up a big showseason-ending down at Anna Friday night in County play. The Rockets have won 10 in a row and are 14-5 on the season. With Lima Temple sitting back in a zone, it was a fast-moving game, with only 14 total fouls called in the game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We moved the ball pretty well against their zone, and shot the ball well,â&#x20AC;? said Jackson coach Scott Elchert. The Tigers steadily pulled away in the game, leading by 10 at the half and 14 after three periods. Alex Meyer hit three threes and finished with 15 points to lead the Tigers, and Andy Hoying added 10. Troy Opperman dished out six assists.

The Rangers were outstanding at the free throw line, hitting 22for-26, and that made it difficult for the Redskins to rally back in the final period. Lucas Leffel finished with 25 and was 10-for11 from the line. Jake Allen added 18 and was 9-for-11 from the stripe. Jared Albers hit four three-pointers and finished with 14 to lead the Redskins, who also did well from the line, but only in half as many attempts. They were 10for-13.

Sidney Daily News, Monday, February 13, 2012
JC, Versailles top-seeded The Jackson Center Tigers and the Versailles Tigers were both topseeded for upcoming sectional boys basketball tournaments as a result of the draws held Sunday. Jackson Center, 19-0 on the year, got the No. 1 seed for the Piqua Division IV Sectional, and will play Mechanicsburg on Feb. 25 at 6 p.m. The Russia Raiders were voted the No. 2 seed, Lehman was No. 3
and Houston the fourth seed. • Versailles, meanwhile, got the top seed for the Division III sectional at Tecumseh, and it appears the Tigers have a clear road to the district. None of the other teams in the sectional are seeded higher than eighth. • Meanwhile, in D-IV action at Coldwater, Fort Recovery was the No. 1 seed and St. Henry No. 2.
Minster and New Knoxville, who played Friday night, will play each other in the first round on Feb. 28, and the winner gets Fort Recovery. New Bremen will play the second game on Feb. 29 against Marion Local. • In the D-III sectional at Bellbrook, the Anna Rockets, winners of 10 in a row, got the No. 4 seed. The highest seeded
team in the tournament is No. 3 Waynesfield. Anna will play West Liberty-Salem, a team the Rockets beat on Feb. 4, on Feb. 25 at 8 p.m. • Finally, in the Centerville D-I sectional, Sidney drew Centerville, and since a team cannot play on its home floor, they will meet at Trotwood on Feb. 25 at 7:30 in the first round. The brackets can be found on page 11.
SHS girls 5th, boys 8th in GWOC CENTERVILLE – The Sidney High girls bowling team took part in the Greater Western Ohio Conference Tournament at Poelking South in Centerville Saturday and placed fifth out of 18 teams. The boys were seeded 13th out of 18 teams and were as high as third at one point before settling for eighth. The Lady Jackets started off with a good first regular game of 939, with Shelbie Anderson rolling a 216 and Bethany Pellman 212. That put them third, but they dropped off to an 837 in the second game. “We had a lot of trouble carrying strikes in the second game,” said coach Angie Mentges. “The lane breakdown has us scrambling for a line that worked and we had some difficulty.” Pellman led in that game with a 203.
Pellman
Knoop
Sidney then rolled an 854 in the final regular game, with Pellman rolling a 224. “Bethany did a great job of keeping a line,” said Mentges. “We had some split problems, coming in too light or too heavy.” Pellman finished fourth overall and was named to the All-Tournament first team. Going into baker, Sidney was fifth and rolled games of 156, 188, 138, 191, 182, 159, 222, 222, 171 and 167. “These girls have potential, but we’ve got to have five bowlers on their game at the same time,” Mentges said.
“We’ve got to keep working on handling the transition and spare shooting.” The North Division awards were given at the conclusion of the tournament, and Sidney had four girls make the allleague team. Pellman was named to the first team, and Anderson, Michelle Abbott and Ally Kittle to the second team. In the first regular game for the boys, Sidney had four bowlers above 200. Devin Huffman rolled a 244, Trent Knoop 212, and Jacob Blankenship and Luke Goubeaux both had 205. Sidney had 1054 in the first game, but dropped to 978 in the second. Goubeaux had a 225, Knoop 215 and Huffman 211. In the third game, the Jackets rolled a 947, with Knoop getting a 239 and Huffman 200. “In the third game, we
had to make some big adjustments,” said Mentges. “The pair we moved to had been bowled on by a larger number of boys than the lanes we had just bowled on, and we also bowled by ourselves, and that’s a bit tougher. Knoop had a 666 series and it earned him All-Tournament Team honors. Huffman had a 655 and was just two pins shy of making the team. Goubeaux rolled a 629. Sidney was up and down in baker games, with scores of 194, 161, 191, 225, 181, 199, 236, 149 and 196. “We had a few too many splits and left an open here and there,” said Mentges. Knoop was also named to the GWOC North second team. Troy was the tournament champion. Next up is the sectional Friday in Huber Heights.
Mickelson wins at Pebble Beach PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. (AP) — He knew his game was getting close, and he broke through with flair Sunday in the Pebble Beach National Pro-Am. That turned out to be Phil Mickelson, not Tiger Woods. In a big, big way. Mickelson went from a six-shot deficit to a two-shot lead in just six holes, closed with an 8under 64 for a two-shot victory over Charlie Wi and gave Woods a Sunday thrashing not many saw coming. Mickelson and Woods played in the second-tolast group, and Mickelson beat him by 11 shots. He won for the fourth time at Pebble Beach, and became only the ninth player in PGA Tour history with 40 wins. “Pebble Beach ... it feels awesome no matter what number it is,” Mickelson said. It was anything but that for Woods, who was reduced to a supporting role on a cool, overcast day along the Pacific. Right when it looked as though Woods might still be in the game after holing a bunker shot for birdie on the par-3 12th, Mickelson answered by pouring in a 30-foot par putt. Mickelson seized control for good with a 40foot par save on the 15th hole, and he played it safe — Mickelson is capable of that every once in a while — on the 18th hole and still made birdie. Wi, who started the final round with a threeshot lead, four-putted for double bogey on the opening hole and never quite recovered. He closed with back-to-back birdies for an even-par 72 and his fifth runner-up finish on tour. It was the third straight week on tour that the winner started the final round at least six shots behind a 54hole leader going after his first tour victory.

Wi talked about battling the demons of selfdoubt, and they must have had the first green surrounded. Equipped with a three-shot lead to start the final round, Wi four-putted from 35 feet above the hole for a double bogey. Just like that, the game was on. That still wasn’t enough for Woods to get in on the action. Standing in the sixth fairway, Woods was only one shot out of the lead, yet the sleeves of his red shirt and his name on the leaderboard didn’t seem to make him stand out the way it has before.

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.
