BY JULIE PACE Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — Uncompromising and politically emboldened, President Barack Obama urged a deeply divided Congress Tuesday night to embrace his plans to use government money to create jobs and strengthen the nation’s middle class. He declared Republican ideas for reducing the deficit “even worse” than the unpalatable deals Washington had to stomach during his first term. In his first State of the Union address since winning re-election, Obama conceded economic revival is an “unfinished task,” but he claimed clear progress and said he was seeking to build on it as he embarks on four more years in office. “We have cleared away the rubble of crisis, and we can say with renewed confidence that the state of our union is strong,” Obama said, speak-

ing before a joint session of Congress and a television audience of millions. In specific proposals for his second term, an assertive Obama called for increased federal spending to fix the nation’s roads and bridges, the first increase in the minimum wage in six years and expansion of early education to every American 4-year-old. Seeking to appeal for support from Republicans, he promised that none of his proposals would increase the deficit “by a single dime.” In the Republican response to Obama’s address, rising GOP star Marco Rubio of Florida came right back at the president, saying his solution “to virtually every problem we face is for Washington to tax more, borrow more and spend more.” Sen. Rubio, in prepared remarks, said presidents of both parties have recognized that the See OBAMA/Page 5A

Sidney, Ohio
Sidney Fire Chief Bradley Jones brought the good news to Sidney City Council Monday night that the city has received its best-ever fire classification rating. The chief also laid out a long-range plan that could yield an even better rating in the future. During the meeting, a consensus of council members also agreed to move forward with a plan to put the city in a positive light on the television show “Communities of Distinction.” Jones said for the first time ever, Sidney was awarded a Class 3 rating by the Insurance Services Office (ISO). The city had a Class 4 rating in the
2004 evaluation. “That is the best rating the city has ever had. That moves us into the top 6 percent of fire departments in America,” Jones said, adding that Sidney is in the top 5 percent of cities in Ohio. Jones said the ISO classification is a factor in insurance rates, and that the improved rating “may reduce insurance premiums” up to 3 percent for residential and up to 5 percent for commercial/industrial properties. The three components of the ISO rating for fire service are the fire department, water supply and dispatch services. Jones said among the primary reasons why the city’s rating has improved are the water
distribution upgrades and the hiring of a fire training officer. “Our water supply is awesome,” Jones said, noting the city took steps to upgrade the system in 2009. While the department had a good fire training program, Jones explained that the hiring of a training officer under retired Chief Stan Crosley to coordinate and document the program resulted in valuable points in the ISO rating. While it is the city’s first-ever Class 3 rating, Jones contended that it is possible in the future that the city could earn a Class 2 rating, which would bring greater insurance savings for residents and commercial/industrial customers.

HOUSTON — The athletic director at Hardin-Houston L o c a l Schools has been placed on administ r a t i v e leave pending an investigation into allegations that he engaged Gooding in “inappropriate conduct” with a teenage female student. School officials are cooperating with the Shelby County Sheriff’s Office, which is looking into the matter. School Superintendent Larry Claypool has confirmed that Jim Gooding was placed on administrative leave with pay late Friday afternoon. “The only thing I’m going to say right now is that it’s inappropriate conduct. I don’t want to get into anything that may be interfering with what the Sheriff’s Office is doing,” Claypool said. “There was an allegation. We stepped out of it.” Claypool said when he learned of the allegations against Gooding, “it was a surprise.” He said school officials became aware of the allegations after the girl told high school Principal Ryan Maier about it Friday. Claypool said that Maier then informed him of the situation. He said he told Maier

In the Sidney City Board of Education meeting story about property revaluations, which appeared in last week’s newspaper, an item needs clarified. When commercial property owners appeal the amount of their property tax, a board within the auditor’s office hears the appeal. If the board decides to lower the tax, then the auditor’s office will adjust the taxes within the property class. So, if a commercial property’s taxes are lowered, other commercial property owners’ taxes will be affected by the change. If residential taxes are lowered, only residential property owners' taxes will be affected. “The impact is only within the class of property,” said Mike Watkins, treasurer for the school district.

State treasurer bucks Kasich on Medicaid that way. “There is no free money,” he wrote to House Speaker William Batchelder and Senate President Keith Faber. “While expanding Medicaid may direct more federal dollars to Ohio in the next few years, in the long term Ohioans will have to repay the debt that is funding federal government spending.” Under the federal health care overhaul, Washington will pay the entire cost of the expansion for the first three years, gradually phasing down to 90 percent — still well above the state’s current level of 64 percent. Many Republicans are averse to President Barack Obama’s signa-
ture health care law and resistant to expanding government programs. Kasich last summer called the overhaul a “massive new tax on the middle class” but last week said the Medicaid expansion makes sense for Ohio while maintaining his opposition to the individual mandate. Mandel said the federal Affordable Care Act was designed to force a choice “between two undesirable options” — exthe panding state-federal health inAP Photo/Amanda Lee Myers surance program and taking on related debt, WORKERS APPLY finishing touches outside of Horseshoe Cincinnati.

burglaries fell from 19 in 2011 to five in 2012, a 74 percent decrease. On top of improvements surrounding the casino project, Cincinnati police also targeted Pendleton last year as part of a neighborhood project, enhancement said Sgt. Elena Moton, the neighborhood liaison for Pendleton. Among those efforts included stepped-up enforcement of housing codes, cleaning up graffiti and litter, installing security cameras, and repairing streets. Pendleton also has attracted new residential development, with an Indianapolis developer planning to put 170 luxury apartments in an old school; 86 affordablehousing units also are planned.

Those efforts were designed to make the area safer, more attractive, and more walkable, while making the casino more inviting. “This isn’t just an investment in a building, but an investment in a neighborhood and an entire community,” said Vice Mayor Roxanne Qualls at a news conference Tuesday in a new mini park that sits between Pendleton and the casino. Statistics from Cincinnati police show that crime in the 900-person neighborhood decreased from 212 incidents in 2011 to 141 last year, a 34 percent decrease and the largest year-to-year drop Pendleton has ever seen.

CINCINNATI (AP) — With three weeks still to go before the last of four Ohio casinos opens in Cincinnati, the $400 million facility already has helped transform the surrounding neighborhood and contributed to a decrease in crime. The two-story, 400,000-square-foot casino sits on what used to be a shabby parking lot on the edge of downtown Cincinnati in the small but artsy neighborhood known as Pendleton. Almost two years to the day since the casino broke ground, more than $22.9 million has gone toward widening streets, replacing busted sidewalks, planting trees, improving lighting, installing public art and creating a large, grassy

COLUMBUS (AP) — A fellow Republican state official is bucking Gov. John Kasich’s proposed expansion of Medurging GOP icaid, lawmakers to reject the plan for the sake of the state’s bottom line. In a letter sent Monday, Treasurer Josh Mandel urged legislative leaders to oppose Kasich’s decision, which was incorporated into the $63.2 billion, twoyear budget the governor released last week. Kasich’s office said Mandel’s advice ignores the benefit the state’s bottom line.

NATION/WORLD TODAY IN HISTORY BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Today is Ash Wednesday, Feb. 13, the 44th day of 2013. There are 321 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Feb. 13, 1943, during World War II, the U.S. Marine Corps Women’s Reserve was officially established. On this date: • In 1542, the fifth wife of England’s King Henry VIII, Catherine Howard, was executed for adultery. • In 1741, Andrew Bradford of Pennsylvania published the first American magazine. “The American Magazine, or A Monthly View of the Political State of the British Colonies” lasted three issues. • In 1861, Abraham Lincoln was officially declared winner of the 1860 presidential election as electors cast their ballots. • In 1920, the League of Nations recognized the perpetual neutrality of Switzerland. • In 1933, the Warsaw Convention, governing airlines’ liability for international carriage of persons, luggage and goods, went into effect. • In 1935, a jury in Flemington, N.J. found Bruno Richard Hauptmann guilty of first-degree murder in the kidnap-slaying of the son of Charles and Anne Lindbergh. (Hauptmann was later executed.) • In 1945, during World War II, Allied planes began bombing the German city of Dresden. The Soviets captured Budapest, Hungary, from the Germans. • In 1960, France exploded its first atomic bomb in the Sahara Desert. • In 1972, the 11th Winter Olympics ended in Sapporo, Japan. • In 1980, the 13th Winter Olympics opened in Lake Placid, N.Y. • In 1988, the 15th winter Olympics opened in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. • In 1991, during Operation Desert Storm, allied warplanes destroyed an underground shelter in Baghthat had been dad identified as a military command center; Iraqi officials said 500 civilians were killed. • Ten years ago: Clara Harris, who’d run down her husband, David, with her Mercedes after catching him with his mistress, was convicted by a Houston jury of murder despite her claim that she’d hit him accidentally while in a heartsick daze. (Harris was sentenced to 20 years in prison.)

Valentine’s Day sewage tour returns NEW YORK (AP) — Lovers of the unusual are getting another chance to impress their Valentines this year in New York City. The Department of Environmental Protection is again offering Valentine’s Day tours of the Newtown Creek sewage treatment plant in Brooklyn’s Greenpoint section. The DEP says it’s offering three tours this year due to “overwhelming demand.” The 9:30 a.m. and 1 p.m. tours were quickly filled. So another was added at 11 a.m. Thursday. Highlights include the plant’s giant egg-shaped digesters, which break down noxious waste into harmless sludge and gas. During last year’s tour, the plant's gung-ho superintendent warned the visitors a digester egg was about to emit a foul odor. It didn’t disappoint.

Official says suspect didn’t leave burning cabin BIG BEAR, Calif. (AP) — The man believed to be fugitive ex-cop Christopher Dorner never came out of a California mountain cabin, and a single shot was heard inside before the cabin was engulfed in flames, a law enforcement official told The Associated Press. The law enforcement official requested anonymity because of the ongoing investigation. A fourth person — a deputy — died earlier in the latest confrontation with America’s most-wanted man, which seemed to be coming to an end. Officials were waiting for the fire to burn out before approaching the ruins to search for a body. “We have reason to believe that it is him,” San Bernardino County sheriff ’s spokeswoman Cynthia Bachman said. The cabin was on fire and smoke was coming from the structure in the late afternoon after police surrounded it in the snow-covered woods of Big Bear, a resort town about 80 miles east of Los Angeles. Bachman didn’t say how the fire started but noted there was gunfire between the person in the cabin and law enforcement officers around the home before the blaze began. TV helicopters showed the fire burning freely with no apparent effort to extinguish it. Authorities have focused their hunt for Christopher Dorner there since they said he launched a campaign to exact revenge against the Los Angeles Police Department for his firing.

LAW ENFORCEMENT personnel search a vehicle along Highway 38 during the hunt for accused killer and ex-Los Angeles police officer Christopher Dorner in Yacaipa, Caif., Tuesday. Authorities say Dorner threatened to bring “warfare” to LAPD officers and their families, spreading fear and setting off a search for him across three states and Mexico. “Enough is enough. It’s time for you to turn yourself in. It’s time to stop the bloodshed,” LAPD Cmdr. Andrew Smith said earlier in the day at a news confer-
ence held outside police headquarters in Los Angeles, a starkly different atmosphere than last week when officials briefed the news media under tight security with Dorner on the loose. If the man inside the cabin does prove to be Dorner, it will lower tensions among the more than 40 targets police say he listed in an online rant.
And they’re off: N. Korea using Papal campaigning nukes to get U.S. gets under way to talk peace VATICAN CITY (AP) — It’s a political campaign like no other, with no declared candidates or front-runners and a strict taboo against openly gunning for the job. But the maneuvering is already under way, with one African contender declaring Tuesday it was time for a pope from the developing world — and he was free if God wanted him. A day after Pope Benedict XVI stunned the world and announced he would retire on Feb. 28, Berlin’s archbishop urged mercy for the victor, given the terrible weight of the office. Mexico City Cardinal Norberto Rivera asked for prayers so that the best man might win. It’s all part of the ritual of picking a pope, the mysterious process that takes place behind closed doors at the Sistine Chapel, where the “princes” of the church, the 117 or so cardinals under age 80, vote in next month’s conclave. Once sequestered, they cast secret ballots until they reach a two-thirds majority and elect a new leader of the world’s 1.2 billion Catholics, sending up smoke signals from the chapel’s chimney to
tell the world if they have failed (black) or succeeded (white). In the run-up to the conclave, cardinals engage in a delicate dance, speaking in general terms about the qualities of a future pope and the particular issues facing the church. It’s rare for anyone to name names, much less tout himself as a candidate. If asked, most cardinals routinely invoke the refrain: “He who goes into a conclave a pope comes out a cardinal.” Such genteel public platitudes, however, belie the very real factions within the College of Cardinals that determine the outcome of the vote. Just because the cardinals all wear the same red cassock and recite the same prayers doesn’t mean they all think alike. They have different visions of what the church needs, different views on critical issues and different allegiances: geographical, sentimental and theological. And this time around, it seems geography is very much front and center, at least in the public debate that was in full swing Tuesday, the first day of the conclave campaign.
OBAMA free enterprise system brings middle-class prosperity. “But President Obama?” Rubio said. “He believes it’s the cause of our problems.” Obama also announced new steps to reduce the U.S. military footprint abroad, with 34,000 American troops withdrawing from Afghanistan within a year. And he had a sharp rebuke for North Korea, which launched a nuclear test just hours before his remarks, saying, “Provocations of the sort we saw last night will only isolate them further.” Despite the pressing foreign policy concerns, jobs and growth dominated Obama’s prime-time address, underscoring the degree to which the economy remains a vulnerability for the president and could disrupt his plans for pursuing a broader agenda, including immigration overhaul, stricter gun laws and climate change legislation. Standing in Obama’s way is a Congress that remains nearly as divided as it was during the final years of his first term, when Washington lurched from one crisis to another. The president implored lawmakers to break through partisan logjams, asserting that “the greatest nation on Earth cannot keep conducting its business by drifting from one manufactured crisis to the next.”
SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — The way North Korea sees it, only bigger weapons and more threatening provocations will force Washington to come to the table to discuss what Pyongyang says it really wants: peace. It’s no coincidence that North Korea’s third underground nuclear test — and by all indications so far its most powerful yet — took place Tuesday on the eve of President Barack Obama’s State of the Union address. As perplexing as the tactic may seem to the outside world, it serves as an attention-getting reminder to the world that North Korea may be poor but has the power to upset regional security and stability. And the response to its latest provocation was immediate. “The danger posed by North Korea’s threatening activities warrants further swift and credible action by the international community,” Obama said in a statement hours after the test. “The United States will also continue to take steps necessary to defend ourselves and our allies.” The United Nations, Japan and South Korea also responded with predictable anger. Even China, North Korea’s staunchest ally, summoned the North Korean ambassador to the Foreign Ministry for a rare dressing down. All this puts young North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and his circle of advisers right where they want to be: at the center of controversy and the focus of foreign policy. A year into his nascent leadership, he is referring to his father’s playbook to try forcing a change on North Korea policy in capital cities across the region — mostly notably in the U.S. The intent in Pyongyang is to get Washington to treat North Korea like an equal, a fellow nuclear power. The aim of the nuclear and missile tests is not to go to war with the United States — notwithstanding its often belligerent statements — but to force Washington to respect its sovereignty and military clout. During his 17-year rule, late North Korean leader Kim Jong Il poured scarce resources into Pyongyang’s nuclear and missile programs to use as bargaining chips in negotiations with Washington, Seoul and Tokyo. At the same time, he sought to build unity at home by pitching North Korea’s defiance as a matter of national pride as well as military defense.

about helping others, she spends the time and effort to do it.” Sarah said, “Having a big sister has changed my life in so many ways. I am so grateful to have Betty as my Big. The years have gone by so fast and I hope I can impact someone’s life like she impacted mine.” For those who would like to make the difference in the life of a child but are unable to volunteer at this time, Big Brothers Big Sisters has many other opportunities throughout the year for others to become involved. One upcoming event is the Bowl for Kids Sake 2013 to be held March 1 and 3. Teams are forming now and support is needed to keep BBBS programs up and running.

When you need a quick breakfast, put it in the blender with any liquid/ juice, milk, etc. Add some yogurt and any other fruit or berries for a smoothie. This works better than adding ice to a smoothie, as it comes out much creamier. — Regina in New Jersey SNACK ATTACK Dear Heloise: I often snack on potato chips. When I would like some but don’t want to get a plate dirty, I grab a coffee filter. I throw a handful of chips (or any snack) in there and use it as a temporary “bowl.” When done, I just toss the filter away. — A Reader in Alaska These filters are so inexpensive. I do the same thing with them, even with celery and carrot sticks. — Heloise

kerosene heater valued at $50. A door also was damaged. Damage was estimated at $550.
Accidents No injuries were reported in a two-vehicle crash at the Ohio 47-Interstate 75 interchange at 7:30 p.m. Saturday. Sidney Police report Richard L.

The tow truck was working the scene of a previous crash. Faller’s vehicle nearly struck a police cruiser that was parked behind the tow truck, with its emergency lights activated. Faller was cited for a left-turn violation. His vehicle sustained minor damage and there was no damage to the tow truck. • Minor damage was reported to one vehicle in a backing accident in the 600 block of Montrose Street at 10:37 a.m. Saturday. Reports state Mildred J. Kemp, 83, 618 Montrose St., was backing from her driveway when she backed into a truck being driven by Michael

“It has the potential for some awesome economic development,” Jones said, explaining the city could attract industries seeking to reduce their insurance costs. Jones said if the city takes steps to increase staffing and reduce response time, the ISO rating would improve by addressing the distribution deficiencies cited by the service. Improvements needed to earn the Class 2 rating, according to Jones, include the purchase of a fire engine that serves the dual purpose of an aerial truck and regular firefighting duty at a cost of $678,500; filling three firefighter vacancies and adding nine more firefighters at an annual cost of $1,315,000; and constructing a new substation in the north end of the city with a staff of three officers and three firefighters at a capital cost of $2.34 million and
an annual operating cost of $724,000. “I think it’s attainable,” Jones said of the Class 2 rating. He said the improvements would not only result in a better ISO rating, but would also boost the safety of local residents and firefighters. Possible options to fund the improvements presented were a 3.9-mill property tax levy or 0.25 percent income tax levy for just the staffing (0.15 percent for fire and 0.10 percent for other uses). The property tax levy would amount to $120 per year for the owner of a $100,000 home. If the city seeks funding for the staffing and a new substation, a 6-mill levy would be needed ($184 per year for the owner of a $100,000 home) and 0.25 percent income tax (0.23 percent for fire and 0.02 for other uses.). While the improvements couldn’t be done quickly, City Manager

Mark Cundiff said, “I’m not sure it’s a marathon.” Although council members Janet Born and Katie McMillan expressed some reservations about the television show proposal, a majority of council members agreed that the city should move ahead with a plan for the city to be highlighted in the “Cities of Distinction” TV show. The five-minute show, hosted by Terry Bradshaw, former Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback and current TV football analyst, would be shown once on the Fox Business Network and 34 times on Fox and ABC affiliates throughout the country. Cundiff noted the city would also have licensing to use the segment for “distribution to potential businesses and used for other economic development purposes.” It could also be posted on the city’s website.

5/3 introduces BBB says beware of unsolicited computer help mobile deposit contacted the BBB about a similar phone call. The consumer got a call from saying he someone worked for Techno PC Cure and the company had received several error messages from the consumer’s computer. He needed the consumer to go right away to his computer and work with him to prevent the computer from crashing. There was a lot of static on the line and the caller had a heavy accent. When the caller was asked for his name and company name, he got impatient and more insistent. The caller claimed he needed to confirm the computer license ID (CLID), so he could remotely access the computer to get rid of the virus. The consumer questioned doing this and the caller said multiple times the consumer should protect this number at all times and not give it out to anyone because it allows access to the computer, attempting to make him-
self sound legitimate and trustworthy. Fortunately, the consumer took the caller’s impatience and intolerance as a red flag and didn’t fall for the scheme. Fraudulent callers like these often install malicious software on computers they’re given access to. The software allows the scammer to: • Access information and documents stored on your computer • Track your typing, allowing them to access your passwords, credit card numbers or anything else you type • Monitor purchases, email and Web browsing • Control your computer and use it to send viruses to your email contacts • Lock you out of your computer while he or she damages or erases its contents Investigating the consumer’s call, the BBB discovered the website, www.technopccure.com, is registered to an indi-
vidual in India, and the phone number on the website is an Australian number. The phone number used to contact the consumer is from the New York area. John North, president and CEO of the BBB serving Dayton and the Miami Valley, said, “These scammers are out to steal your identity and make money. Be wary of unexpected phone calls from people claiming you’re having computer issues. If you get a call from an alleged tech support person, hang up and call the company yourself on a phone number you know to be genuine. Don’t fall for their high-pressure tactics. Also, don’t give control of your computer to a stranger. You can always check companies out with your BBB by visiting www.bbb.org or calling (937) 222-5825 or (800) 776-5301.

“Thor achieved solid gains in revenue for the second quarter ending Jan. 31, 2013, as the momentum of our RV products introduced in the continued at fall Louisville in late November. Indications from the early RV retail shows have been very positive, with increased traffic and higher sales levels, reflecting continued strength in our industry,” said Peter B. Orthwein, Thor chairman and CEO. “Despite the improvements in RV sales, the overall environment in the towables market remains very competitive, and elevated levels of incentives associated with orders placed at the fall open house are reflected in our sales and our second-quarter operating results that we expect to report on March 7. In addition, the bus business continued to be characterized by aggressive competition during the second quarter.” Thor is the sole owner of operating subsidiaries that, combined, represent the world’s largest manufacturer of recreational vehicles and is a major builder of commercial buses and ambulances.

DAYTON — The Better Business Bureau warns people to be wary of unexpected phone calls claiming you’re having computer problems and offering assistance. If you follow the caller’s instructions, you could become a victim of identity theft. Cathy Short-Papp, of Centerville, received one of these calls, but fortunately didn’t fall for it. She received a call from a man, which came up as “unavailable” on her caller ID. He spoke very fast with a foreign accent. The caller said he had received several error notices from her computer and rattled off some numbers. He proceeded to ask if she was in front of her computer, and she said she wasn’t. He then said, “No problem, just go ahead and turn your computer on so I can fix the problem.” Wisely, she responded, “Yeah right buddy. I don’t think so” and hung up on him. Another consumer

every year except one. “Success breeds more success,” Nosek said, noting that while some schools struggle to field a complete team, Fort Loramie has so many interested students that they don’t all make the team. Like sports teams, it takes practice to make a good writer. “We’ve been practicing since early October,” she said. The student writers practice at lunch time and also after school. She said the students go over various topics and discuss how to develop the subjects into stories. “It’s amazing the enthusiasm the students have for the program,” Nosek said. Nosek is seeking financial support from area businesses and individuals to cover the cost of hosting the regional competition. She said $1,000 is need to pay for awards and student materials. Businesses and individuals interested in contributing may contact Nosek at 295-3342.

BY FRANCES DRAKE For Thursday, Feb. 14, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You feel the need to be yourself now, which is why it’s hard to control your feelings. In love relationships, you will feel greater emotional depth. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) You want to withdraw from others today because you need peace and quiet. Because you’ve been in the public eye lately, you need a breather. (Ya think?) GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Your contact with friends is important today. In fact, you might feel parental or nurturing to someone. (You’ll also be jealous a friend pays more attention to someone else.) CANCER (June 21 to July 22) The details of your private life might be made public today, especially in the eyes of bosses, parents and VIPs. Knowing this, you might want to do a little damage control. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) You have a strong urge to get away from it all. Therefore, travel if you can, or explore more of life through books, film or talking to people from other countries. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) All your encounters with others are intense today. (Actually, they’ve been intense for the past 48 hours.) Just be cool. This is nothing you can’t handle. (And it’s gone by tomorrow.) LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Conflicts with others might be quite emotional because the Moon is opposite your sign today. In part, this is because your partnerships or friendships seem so important today, whereas some days you hardly think about them. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Do whatever you can to get better organized today, because it will make you feel happy. You want to feel you’re on top of your game. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) This is a flirtatious, playful day! Enjoy sports, movies, the arts and playful times with children. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) If you have a chance to cocoon at home today, you’ll be happy. This is a perfect day to get away from the busyness of the world around you. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) A busy day! You’ve got places to go, things to do, people to see. Time spent with siblings and neighbors will be particularly important. Enjoy short trips. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Your focus is on money and cash flow today. And yes, why is there always so much month left at the end of the money? YOU BORN TODAY People find you to be witty and entertaining; and indeed, you are quick-witted and adroit. In particular, you can be unusually succinct and to the point. You love to tell jokes and stories. You also have an earthy side, especially when you want to relax with friends. Work hard to build or construct something in the coming year, because your rewards soon will follow. Birthdate of: Rob Thomas, musician; Carl Bernstein, journalist; Meg Tilly, actress.

Dora Schwebel “We want Schwebel’s!” That slogan and the bright, smiling clown on loaves of fresh bread are the legacy of the marketing and business genius of Dora Schwebel, the business half of the married couple who started baking bread in their Campbell, Ohio, kitchen in 1906. Dora and Joseph Schwebel sold their first bread, Jewish rye bread, door-to-door to neighbors, largely immigrant steelworkers. Soon after, horses and wagons transported their bread, still warm from the oven, to mom-and-pop stores. By 1914, Dora’s tenacity and business acumen made it possible for families to purchase Schwebel’s bread at local food stores. By 1923, a fleet of six trucks delivered fresh Schwebel’s bread to an ever-growing market. The Schwebels took a big step that year, investing $25,000 in a new bakery that allowed them to produce, distribute and grow in their expanding market. Joseph died in 1928, leaving Dora, with six young children, as the sole owner and president of the growing business. Facing many obstacles – including some perceptions about a woman’s role and capabilities in society and the stock market crash of 1929, the family and the company survived. During the Great Depression Dora created Happy the Clown, a figure that still appears on Schwebel’s bread wrappers, to brighten spirits and serve as a symbol of hope. A larger bakery was built in 1936 and expanded in 1938 and 1941, doubling production and efficiency. Through it all, Dora still found the time and financial resources to help the less fortunate. She was honored by the nation of Israel in 1958 and elected to the National Council of American Friends of Hebrew University of Jerusalem. She established a scholarship endowment fund at Brandeis University and a science laboratory at Youngstown State University. Eventually, Dora was named one of Youngstown’s most influential people of the 20th century. A bronze replica of Schwebel’s 100 millionth loaf was presented to Dora in 1959. In 1964, she died at age 76, leaving the business to her children and grandchildren. Today, 10 third- and fourth-generation Schwebel family members work in the business.

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.

Rolen chooses not to attend Reds camp GOODYEAR, Ariz. (AP) — Third baseman Scott Rolen declined the Cincinnati Reds’ offer to attend spring training, but stopped short of saying he’s ready to retire. The seven-time AllStar informed the team of his decision on Tuesday, when Reds pitchers and catchers reported for the start of camp. Rolen, who turns 38 on April 4, had been mulling an offer to fill a reserve role with the NL Central champions. He’s been limited each of the last three seasons by chronic problems with his left shoulder and back spasms. “Right now, I’m simply not ready to make a commitment,” Rolen said, in a statement released by the team. “I would like to leave my options open, without closing any doors. I am looking forward to all of the challenges, both personally and professionally, I will face in the future.” Rolen became a free agent after last season, when he batted .245 in 92 games with eight homers and 39 RBIs. He missed time with the

Jets coast to 76-50 win The Fairlawn Jets had it all clicking Tuesday night in burying a good Mechanicsburg squad in non-league boys basketball action in The Hangar, 76-50. The win was Fairlawn’s fourth in its last five games and puts the Jets at 14-7 on the season heading into a challenging regular-season finale Friday against County champion Jackson Center on the road. Fairlawn had two double-doubles, with Trey Everett finishing with 21 points and 12 rebounds and Anthony Gillem 15 points and 12 rebounds. Everett added seven assists and Gillem six, and Brad Caudill added 12 points.
“We got back to basics,” said coach Justin Tidwell of Fairlawn. “We forced bad shots, got the rebounds and got our transition game going.” The Jets dominated from the start and opened up a 30-point lead after three quarters. Mechanicsburg (50) Bogan 3-0-6; Welch 1-0-2; Purk 3-2-9; Lenchard 1-0-3; Callicoat 10-2-24; Eades 2-0-5; Harley 0-1-1. Totals: 20-5-50.

GARRICK SHERMAN, NOTRE DAME Sherman did not play a single minute in regulation yet scored 17 points and grabbed six rebounds to help Notre Dame outlast Louisville 104–101 in a five-overtime classic in South Bend. A transfer from Michigan State, Sherman was on his way to DNP-Coach’s Decision until he was forced into action at the 1:57 mark of the first overtime. He scored two points in the second overtime, six in both the third and fourth overtimes and three in the fifth overtime. The 6'10" junior had scored a total of six points in Notre Dame’s previous five games.

ALEX ORIAKHI, MISSOURI Oriakhi dominated the paint with a career-high 22 points to go along with 18 boards (10 on the offensive end) as Missouri rolled past Ole Miss 98–79 in Columbia. A transfer from UConn who was a key part of the Huskies’ 2011 national title team, Oriakhi hit 7-of-10 from the field and 8-of-10 from the line to lead the Tigers, who are now 15–0 at home and 0–5 on the road. ISAIAH SYKES, UCF Sykes recorded his second triple-double of the season with 20 points, a career-high 16 rebounds and 11 assists in the Knights’ 83–73 win over East Carolina. A senior swingman from Detroit, Sykes had 16 points, 11 boards and 10 assists in a victory over Stetson in December. UCF is tied for second with Southern Miss in Conference USA with a 7–2 record. ANTHONY BENNETT, UNLV UNLV snapped a two-game losing streak with an impressive 64–55 win over MWC-leader New Mexico. Bennett, one of the nation’s elite freshman, led the way with 17 points and 12 rebounds — his first double-double since going for 22 and 16 against Air Force on Jan. 12. UNLV improved to 5–4 in the league but is still two games behind New Mexico and Colorado State in the loss column. TYLER BROWN, ILLINOIS STATE Brown scored 27 points (23 in the second half) and handed out five assists to lead Illinois State to a 75–72 win at Creighton. The Redbirds opened Missouri Valley play with six straight losses but have now won six of their last seven games. It was the first road win over a ranked opponent for Illinois State since 1985. MARCUS SMART, OKLAHOMA STATE Playing at the Frank Erwin Center in Austin for the first time since leading Marcus High School to the state title last season, Smart scored 23 points and added seven rebounds to lead Oklahoma State to a 72–59 win over Texas. Smart, a combo guard from Flower Mound, Texas, is making a late push for National Freshman of the Year honors. He is averaging 14.6 points, 5.9 rebounds and 4.6 assists for the surging Cowboys, who have won five straight. DWIGHT POWELL, STANFORD After a slow start, Stanford is emerging as a factor in the Pac-12. The Cardinal improved to 6–5 in the league with a 62–59 win at Arizona State on Saturday. Powell was the star for the Cardinal — who have won four of five — with 22 points and 10 rebounds. It was the seventh double-double of the season and second straight game with at least 20 points and 10 boards for the 6'10" junior from Canada. ALLEN CRABBE, CALIFORNIA One of the nation’s most underrated guards played perhaps the finest game of his career, scoring 31 points, grabbing nine rebounds and handing out five assists in California’s 77–69 upset over Arizona in Tucson. Crabbe, a 6'6” junior from Los Angeles, hit 12-of-15 from the field, including 4-of-7 from 3-point range to lead the Golden Bears to their biggest win of the season.

GERON JOHNSON, MEMPHIS Memphis seized control of the Conference USA race with an 89–76 win at Southern Miss. Johnson, a 6'3" guard who is in his first season at Memphis after transferring from junior college, played his finest game as a Tiger. He scored a career-high 25 points (on 8-of-11 shooting) and tied career highs in rebounds (eight), assists (seven) and steals (four). Memphis is 9–0 in the league, two games up on both Southern Miss and UCF.
Hoosiers hold onto the top spot despite loss at Illinois. Emotional week ends with agonizing loss at UW. Canes complete sweep vs. UNC with 26-point win. Devils survive at BC to increase win streak to 5. Southerland’s return boosts Orange past St. John’s. Cats had a case to be No. 1 … before losing to Cal. Gators’ run at SEC perfection ends in Fayetteville. Zags visit Saint Mary’s Thursday in key WCC clash. Guess who’s tied for first in the Big Ten? Sparty. Brutal week for Kansas, which lost to TCU and OU. Cards had several opportunities to close vs. ND. No shame in losing to Michigan or Indiana. Surging Panthers rally to post key win at Cincy. Cats overwhelmed by an angry Jayhawk club. Clarke averaging 19.0 ppg since return from injury. Smart doing it all for the red-hot Cowboys. Hoyas have quietly won five straight games. Irish needed a bit of luck to beat Louisville in 5 OTs. Lobos have averaged 44.5 points in two MWC losses. Eagles hold Hoyas to 38.5% shooting but lose by 8. Badgers only turn it over on 15% of their possessions. Rams have 2 league losses — at SDSU (OT), at UNM. Bearcats a puzzling 2–3 at home in the Big East. Tigers impressive in win at Southern Miss. Huge week on the road (CSU, UNLV) awaits Aztecs.

Iowa poised to make its move Which of these four bubble teams do you believe has the best chance to make the NCAA Tournament — Iowa, Saint Mary's, Stanford or Indiana State? Mitch Light: I am going with Iowa. This is a good team that has had some tough luck in the Big Ten. The Hawkeyes are currently 4–7 in the league, but two of those losses have come in overtime and three others by four points or less. Beginning with Thursday’s trip to Penn State, Iowa’s schedule is manageable the rest of the way, which will give this team a decent chance to reach .500 in the Big Ten. Iowa’s RPI isn’t very good right now (No. 91), but the Hawkeyes are viewed more favorably by the KenPom.com efficiency rating (No. 34) and the ESPN BPI (No. 52). Right now, I’d put this team’s odds of reaching the NCAA Tournament at greater than 50/50. Nathan Rush: For the love of Larry Bird, I hope it is Indiana State. The Sycamores have proven their ability to compete with some of the top teams in the nation, with neutral site wins over Miami and Ole Miss, a road victory at Wichita State, and a home triumph over Creighton. Coach Greg Lansing's team boasts better wins than Iowa, Saint Mary's and Stanford combined, and should be rewarded for playing a schedule that has made ISU a battle-tested, Tournament-ready team. David Fox: Of those teams, Saint Mary’s has the most potential to reach the NCAA Tournament. The Gaels simply have too many avenues to reach the field. They have RPI-boosting home dates with BYU, Creighton and Gonzaga coming up. Win one or two of those, especially if one is against the Zags, and Saint Mary’s may be in good shape. Saint Mary’s has won three of the last five matchups with Gonzaga at home or on a neutral court. Beyond that, Saint Mary’s could clinch a bid with a strong showing in the WCC Tournament in Las Vegas. I wouldn’t put it past senior point guard Matthew Dellavedova to lead the Gaels to an easy NCAA Tournament berth.

Junior swingman Roy Devyn Marble and the Iowa Hawkeyes got off to a rough start in the Big Ten, but don’t be surprised to hear this team’s name called on Selection Sunday.
Which current top-15 team is most likely to lose in its first game of the NCAA Tournament? Mitch Light: Ohio State has played relatively well of late and has the ability to reach the Elite Eight. But I also wouldn’t be surprised if the Buckeyes were knocked out of the NCAA Tournament in the first round. Ohio State’s numbers are strong on the offensive end, but the Buckeyes rely heavily on one player, senior forward Deshaun Thomas. When Thomas isn’t at his best — which isn’t often — Ohio State simply doesn’t have many other reliable offensive weapons. And that could spell trouble in the one-and-done NCAA Tournament. Nathan Rush: The Kansas Jayhawks have been vulnerable early in the Tournament under coach Bill Self. A pair of infamous first-round losses — as a No. 3 seed to Bucknell in 2005 and as a No. 4 seed to Braden Gall 32-18 Kentucky by 8 Marquette by 2 Oklahoma St. by 4 Arkansas by 1 Duke by 4 New Mexico by 10 UNLV by 1 Wisconsin by 1 Iowa by 3 Northwestern by 1

Bradley in 2006 — are still fresh in the minds of anyone whose bracket was busted by KU. And don't forget Self’s second-round loss to Northern Iowa as a No. 1 seed in 2010. Kansas has NBA talent like it always does. But that might not stop the Jayhawks from being a one-anddone in March. David Fox: I’m very skeptical about Louisville’s ability to make a deep run in the NCAA Tournament. I know the Cardinals looked unimpressive this time a year ago before reaching the Final Four, and Rick Pitino is a superb postseason coach. But I have concerns about a team that has struggled to close out games. The Cardinals feed off their backcourt. Russ Smith can turn into bad Russ Smith on a dime, and Peyton Siva all but disappeared for a stretch in Big East play. That’s too many questions for a team that may be a top-four seed in the tourney.

SATURDAY, FEB. 16 PITTSBURGH AT MARQUETTE This is a key game in what is turning out to be a wild race in the Big East. Syracuse leads the league with a 8–2 record, but Pittsburgh and Marquette are among a group of seven teams with either three or four losses in the league. Pittsburgh has been one of the hottest teams in the nation over the last month. The Panthers have lost only once — by three points at Louisville — since their 74–67 defeat, in OT, at Marquette on Jan. 12. OKLAHOMA AT OKLAHOMA STATE Basketball is booming in the Sooner State. Oklahoma State has played its way into the Big 12 title chase by winning five straight games, highlighted by its 85–80 win at Kansas earlier this month. Oklahoma had lost four of six but is back on track after recording wins over Kansas (Saturday) and TCU (Monday). The Sooners are 7–4 in the league and appear to be on the verge of their first NCAA Tournament appearance since 2009. Lon Kruger is proving once again that he is one of the game’s top coaches. MISSOURI AT ARKANSAS Mike Anderson, who won 111 games in five seasons as the head coach at Missouri, takes on his former school for the first time since making the move to Arkansas. The Razorbacks have been brutal on the road but nearly unbeatable at home. Missouri entered Wednesday’s game at Auburn with an 0–5 record in true road games. Arkansas seems to be the safe pick here, but Mizzou is capable of beating any team in the nation when it shoots well from the 3-point line. SAN DIEGO STATE AT UNLV This is a huge week for San Diego State, which visits Colorado State on Wednesday and UNLV on Saturday. The Aztecs (6–3 in the MWC) have lost two of their last three on the road. UNLV has underachieved this season, but the Runnin’ Rebels are feeling good about themselves after a win over New Mexico last weekend. Don’t be surprised if this team makes a late-season run toward the regular-season Mountain West title. DUKE AT MARYLAND Maryland’s NCAA Tournament hopes took a huge hit with a loss at home to Virginia on Sunday afternoon. A win over Duke could possibly put the Terps back on the bubble. Duke, 20–2 overall and 8–2 in the ACC, is trying to keep pace with Miami in the league race. Even if the Blue Devils don’t win the league, they will still have an opportunity to claim a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament. They have seven wins vs. top-50 RPI teams. SUNDAY, FEB. 17 OHIO STATE AT WISCONSIN Wisconsin has mastered the art of the narrow victory. Each of the Badgers’ last five wins has come by six points or less, including two in overtime. Ohio State is coming off of a tough week, with losses to two of the top-five teams in the nation (Michigan and Indiana). The Buckeyes’ last two road losses — at Michigan and at Michigan State — have come by a total of five points. This team has the mental toughness to win at the Kohl Center in Madison. MINNESOTA AT IOWA This is a pivotal game for both teams. Minnesota, which opened the season with 15 wins in its first 16 games, is trending in the wrong direction. The Golden Gophers have lost six of their last eight, none more damaging than last Sunday’s home game against Illinois. They could really use a win in Iowa City. The Hawkeyes improved to 4–7 in the Big Ten with a win vs. Northwestern last week. With a soft schedule down the stretch — by Big Ten standards — Iowa will have an opportunity to play its way into the NCAA Tournament.

Candy, hearts & flowers dominate Valentine’s Day gift choices BY MIKE SEFFRIN mseffrin@sdnccg.com Flowers, cards, candy, jewelry, lingerie, perfume, dinner at a restaurant — these are the gifts that first come to mind when you think about Valentine’s Day. But look at any ad flier or watch TV commercials this time of year and you’ll see a seemingly endless array of suggested gifts for Feb. 14. It seems Valentine’s Day is beginning to rival even Christmas as a time for gift-giving. According to a survey commissioned by the National Retail Federation, Americans are expected to spend $18.6 billion on Valentine’s cards and gifts this year. The average shopper will spend more than $130, compared to about $126 last year. A mix of traditional and nontraditional Valentine’s Day gifts will be popular this year, the NRF says. More than half (51 percent) of giftgivers will buy candy, spending $1.6 billion in total, and another one-third (36.6 percent) will give flowers, with total spending expected to top $1.9 billion. Others will treat their special someone to jewelry (19.7 percent), spending more than $4.4 billion on diamonds, gold and silver. An additional 15.6 percent will buy clothing, spending more than $1.6 billion. Fifteen percent will buy gift cards, totaling to $1.5 billion. The survey found that more than one-fourth (26.3 percent) of those celebrating this year plan to shower their loved ones with gifts found online, up from 19.3 percent last year and the most in the survey’s 10-year history. Other shoppers will seek out the perfect gift at discount stores (39.6 percent), department stores (33.2 percent), specialty stores (22.9 percent), floral shops (19.6 percent), jewelry stores (11.2 percent), specialty clothing stores (7.5 percent) and through catalogs (2.6 percent). Locally, shoppers have a wide range of gifts from

OWNER OF Dekker’s Flowers Lynda Haynes, of Sidney, looks over a Valentine’s Day display at her shop Monday. Haynes was waiting for a large shipment of roses to be used in Valentine’s Day bouquets, to arrive the same day. which to choose. “We sell the usual range of things,” said Jennifer Stocker, owner of the Adam & Eve store in Piqua. “It’s mostly a lot of men buying pretty lingerie for their wives and girlfriends.” “Valentine’s Day is our busiest time of the year,” Stocker said. There is a marked increase in male customers at Adam & Eve this time of year. “Throughout the year, it’s going to be more women, but at this time of year, it’s going to be a lot of men coming in to buy things for their wives and girlfriends,” Stocker said. Stocker said business will continue to increase as Valentine’s Day approaches, and it won’t slack off immediately after that, either. “I anticipate the weekend after” will be busy, too, because Valentine’s Day falls on a Thursday, she said. Valentine’s Day is a natural for the Believe gift store at 10513 County Road 25A, north of Sidney. The store’s trademark includes a heart.
“We have our handmade Believe hearts,” said owner Teresa Harshbarger. “Each one is made by hand and represents that we believe in the love of of Jesus. It shows not only individual love, but love of Christ as well.” The store specializes in custom-made jewelry featuring its trademark “Believe” heart. It’s a heart resting on its side with a cross inside. The “B” formed by the resting heart is used in the “Believe” logo. Harshbarger said the shop’s jewelry can be fashioned into one-of-a-kind pieces that reflect a customer’s interests. “We’ve had just all different types,” she said, including customers who’ve had jewelry created for family and friends as Valentine’s Day gifts. There’s really no surprise what the answer is when you ask Lynda Haynes, owner of Dekker’s Flowers in Sidney, about what people buy for Valentine’s Day. “Roses, of course, is the favorite,” she said. “It’s all about roses.” And, of course, the color of those roses is red.
“Then, of course, we’ve got heart boxes of candy,” Haynes said. Haynes said Valentine’s Day business at her shop begins to pick up about a week to a week-and-a-half before the big day. Then, when Feb. 14 arrives, it’s nonstop action all day. “It is the very busiest ‘one’ day,” she said. “I open up at 8 o’clock and my phone never stops.” Christmas and Mothers Day also are important in the flower business, but business for those holiday stretches over a longer period of time. It’s not only men who are buying flowers, either. “Women love to buy men flowers, also,” Haynes said. “Roses and balloons. Girls like balloons.” Haynes said she bought 2,200 roses for Valentine’s Day business last year, and sold every one. “You learn by at past experience,” said Haynes, who has run the shop for 25 years. “I would rather have too many than not enough. I always try to overbuy a little bit.”
BBBS Littles love their mentors Big Brothers Big Sisters of Shelby and Darke County recently held the After School Mentoring session at Longfellow School. This site is part of the agency’s program that encompasses three elementary schools in Shelby County and two elementary echools in Darke County during the academic year. During these sessions, area high school volunteers, sophomores through seniors, volunteer their time two times per month to offer guidance and support through the direction of the agency staff. During this recent outing, the program focused on character-building activities, including making valentines for those important people in their lives. Many chose teachers, parents, grandparents and several of the participants selected their mentors — testimony that these high students have a big impact on the lives of these children. In addition to the after-

Feb. 13, 1913 Prospects for an emergency room in Sidney loomed brighter today as a result of action taken by city council at its meeting last night Wm. Slam representing the Clinton township trustees, appeared before council urging that the city cooperate with the county commissioners and trustees in the establishment of an emergency hospital. It would be located on the second floor of the county heating plant building east of the county jail. Council appointed a committee of three members to examine the matter further and report back with a recommendation for definite action. ––––– The grain dealers of and Shelby Sidney county will adopt the system of buying corn and probably all small grain, by the hundred pounds instead of the bushel.

Is this relaxed attitude about sex prevalent in young people today? I cannot understand Melanie’s lack of desire to defend her turf. — HEARTBROKEN MOM IN FLORIDA DEAR MOM: Your daughters appear to be into the concept of open marriage. Clearly, they do not view marriage and relationships the same way you do. Melanie is naive to think that encouraging Sam to have a sexual relationship with her sister

And as for her wanting to start a family, has she considered what will happen if her husband impregnates Alicia at the same time — or first? But back to your question: Are you right to protest? You certainly are. That’s what mothers are for — to inject a dose of sanity when everyone around her is losing theirs.
