Kathleen Faye Waters Stilwell “ C o m e home,” Jesus said, “Come home.” So on Feb. 20, 2013, at 12:10 p.m. Kathleen Faye Waters Stilwell, after 73 years of life with her beloved family and friends, heeded God’s call and went to sleep, leaving her earthly family and friends and the sting of death behind. Her spirit immediately entered heaven and she opened her eyes to the new life that her personal Savior, Jesus Christ, had planned for her. She was born on Oct. 12, 1939, in a small coal mining town in Cucumber, West Virginia to Everett and Desda Oma (Young) Waters, now deceased. Her parents later moved and she grew up in Abbs Valley, Va. near Bluefield, Va. On November 24, 1956 she married Ervin Thomas “Tuck” Stilwell who survives along with grandson, Matthew Thomas Stilwell, and loving daughter-in-law, Karen Martin Smith Stilwell, both of Muskogee, Okla.; special Kerri grandchildren, Conners and her children, Caden and Averie, and Roger and Christie Smith and their children, Jace and Ketcher all of Muskogee, Okla.; special nephew, W. Darrin Waters and his children, Payton, Selene and Racin, of Fort Loramie; siblings, Everett Waters Jr. and wife Luerinda of The Villages, Fla., Joeann Waters Standley, of Galion, and Jerry Randle Waters and wife Sue, of Iberia; sisters-inlaw, Betty Stilwell and Charlotte Stilwell, of Kennett Squire, Pa. and Barbara Stilwell, of Hockessin, Del.; nieces and nephews, Deborah and Brek Wildermuth and Kirsten, of Dublin, Michael and Robin Standley, Brooke and Adison. of Wapakoneta, Gregory and Deb Standley, Morganna, Megan, and Logan, of Auburn Twp., Aaron and Jackie Waters, Emily and Sarah, of Cardington, Linda and Jeff Jacobs and their children, Sean, Joshua, Kyle, and Tyler Jacobs, of Bear, Del., Becky Stilwell of Hockessin, Del., Colin Courtney of Kennett Squire, Pa., Douglas and Cindi Stilwell, Bradley, Adam, and Lindsey, of Hockessin, Del., Keith and Melissa Stilwell and Amanda, of Smyrna, Del., Scott and Kathie Stilwell, Stephanie and Chris, of Middletown, Del., and Darrell Levi Stilwell of Bear, Del. She was preceded in death by two children, Thomas Alan Stilwell and Patricia Ann Stilwell, three brothers-inlaw, Simon Jerry
Standley, Raymond Lee Stilwell and Donald StilPrentice well, and two sisters-in-law, Dorothy Stilwell and Janet Louise Stilwell Waters. Kathleen’s parents (her father being a coal miner) were firm believers in God. They took their four children to the Abbs Valley Baptist Church, where they grew up, and she accepted Christ as her Savior. She sang in the choir and was active in that church until she graduated from Pocahontas High School, Pocahontas, Va., in 1957. Now a ghost coal mining town, the school closed its educational doors in 2008 for lack of students. She later attended Edison Community College in Piqua. When her husband finished his two year tour of duty with the U.S. Army at Fort Gordon, Ga. they moved to Sidney in 1959 and he returned to his former job at the Copeland Corp. She worked at The Spot Restaurant, and later at the now demolished, Johnson Restaurant & Bowling Alley, while the bowling alley, attached to the restaurant, was under construction until the early ’60s. While the children were growing up, she also did reupholster work and sewing out of the family home. In August 1976 she was employed by the Hardin-Houston School Board as a school bus driver, working 30 years before retiring in 2006. In the early 1960’s she became an active member of Grace Baptist Church. With a strong love for children she helped in Bible School and later became a second/third grade teacher in Sunday school. She also hosted Bible studies in her home. Breast cancer struck her in August 1998. With that thornin-the-flesh she spent the rest of her life in and out of chemotherapy/radiation treatments, loving the Lord and trying to live a happy productive life. Funeral services will be held Monday, Feb. 25, 2013, at 2 p.m. at Cromes Funeral Home, 302 S. Main Ave, Sidney, with Pastor James Alter officiating. Burial will follow at Shelby Memory Gardens in Sidney. The family will receive friends on Sunday from 1 to 4 p.m. at the funeral home. Guestbook condolences and expressions of sympathy may be made to the Stilwell family at the funeral home’s website: www.cromesfh.com

JOE HINRICHS, Ford’s President of the Americas, announces plans to build the 2.0-liter EcoBoost engine at the Ford Cleveland Engine Plant Thursday in Brook Park, Ohio. Ford is moving production of a popular small engine from Spain to Cleveland as sales of four-cylinder motors continue to rise.
Ford boosts America’s small-engine production BROOK PARK (AP) — Ford is preparing for a day in the near future when a small four-cylinder engine will be the motor of choice in most of its vehicles, perhaps even in pickup trucks. Demand for the company’s 2-Liter turbocharged engine is growing so fast in North America that Ford announced plans Thursday to start building the engine late next year at a factory in Brook Park, Ohio, near Cleveland. Currently it’s importing the motors from a factory in Valencia, Spain. The Brook Park plant now employs about 1,300 people who make V-6 engines for the F-Series pickup truck, the most popular vehicle in America. Ford plans a $200 million investment in the plant and promises 450 more jobs, the halfway point in a Ford hiring
spurt that will total 12,000 U.S. hourly jobs by 2015. But few think that the hiring will stop at 450, as the company and its customers look to smaller “EcoBoost” turbocharged engines to fight high gas prices and comply with more stringent government fuel economy regulations. Demand for the 2Liter turbocharged motor has exceeded Ford’s expectations, Joe Hinrichs, the company’s new president for the Americas, said after making the announcement. “You never know when that’s going to go further, because the products it’s going to go into are some of our bestselling cars.” Plus, U.S. auto sales are growing. Industry analysts predict about 15.3 million cars and trucks will be sold this year, up 800,000 from last year. It’s far higher than in 2009, when frozen credit
and high unemployment cut sales to 10.4 million, a three-decade low. More customers are choosing turbocharged smaller engines as Ford and other manufacturers offer them in more models. The engines get better gas mileage than six-cylinder motors. And the turbochargers give them more power when needed. In the U.S., new vehicles will have to average 54.5 miles per gallon by 2025, twice the roughly 27 mpg they get today. Ford offered the 2Liter EcoBoost engine in 2011 on its Edge and Explorer SUVs in the U.S. Last year it added the new Escape small SUV, the Taurus large sedan, the Fusion midsize sedan and a high-performance version of the Focus compact to the list. This year the Lincoln MKZ midsize luxury car also has it.
DAYTON (AP) — Up to 13,000 civilian employees at Ohio’s largest military installation could face furloughs if defense spending cuts kick in as scheduled March 1 and that has business owners and public officials in surrounding communities worried about their bottom lines. Scheduled cuts in defense spending — part of the so-called sequester that’s subject of a standoff between Democrats and Republicans in Washington — could have a significant effect on the communities around Wright-Patterson Air Force Base near Dayton. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta told Congress this week he may have to furlough civilian workers if the cuts aren’t averted. For Wright-Patterson, that could be as many as 13,000 civilian employees for 22 days beginning in April. Base officials said no determination has been made on whether the days would be consecutive or one day a week through the end of the fiscal year, but furloughs would amount
to about a 20 percent pay cut. And officials and business owners in the neighboring cities of Fairborn and Riverside are worried about what it means for them. “It makes me very nervous,” Tony Spaziani, owner of Giovanni’s Pizzeria e Ristorante Italiano in Fairborn, told the Dayton Daily News. “This is trickle-down disaster.” He said regular customers who work at the base have been telling him that they plan to bring their own meals rather than eat out if they are furloughed. John Zavakos, owner of Tickets Pub & Eatery in Fairborn, says WrightPatterson employees make up 75 percent of the lunch crowd at his business and “it’s very huge.” Fairborn’s economic director development said the impact will affect the whole region. “The thing with our military base, it’s a very large and well-integrated regional facility,” development director Chris Wimsatt said. “It doesn’t hurt one community. It hurts a lot of communities.”
The Pentagon agrees, having projected that the automatic spending cuts this year could have a negative impact of $165 million on Ohio’s economy. The city of Riverside expects it may lose $60,000 in income tax revenue this year if the furloughs happen, but that number could change depending on which employees are impacted, Riverside City Manager Bryan Chodkowski said. Retail businesses also are going to feel the effects of any furloughs, Chodkowski said. Vicki Fox, manager of a costume store in Fairborn, said there is no question that downtown businesses there will feel the effects of any cuts. “A lot of base employees and civilian contractors patronize the establishdowntown ments, whether its restaurants or stores like this one,” Fox said. “It will just depend on how many employees are affected.” Defense officials have said that civilian employees could be notified of any pending furloughs by mid-March.
Court rejects priest’s appeal TOLEDO (AP) — A court in Ohio has again upheld the conviction of a Roman Catholic priest sent to prison nearly seven years ago for killing a nun. The state appeals court in Toledo rejected Rev. Gerald Robinson’s request for a new trial. The priest’s attorney says police reports discovered after his trial could have changed the outcome of the case.
Robinson was convicted in 2006 of killing of Sister Margaret Ann Pahl inside a hospital chapel back in 1980. The two worked together at the hospital and Robinson presided at the nun’s funeral. He wasn’t charged until 24 years later. Robinson is now serving a sentence of 15 years to life. Church historians say it’s the only documented case of a Catholic priest killing a nun.
Police: Landlord whipped tardy-paying tenant WAYNESVILLE (AP) — An Ohio landlord is accused of whipping a tenant with a belt on his bare buttocks for falling behind on his rent. Ron Kronenberger, 53, was charged with assault for the Jan. 22 encounter in his office, police in the village of Waynesville said. He was due in court Thursday in Warren County. Police said the tenant, 29, was late with a
$2,800 rent payment. “If you’re going to act like a child, I’m going to treat you like one,” Kronenberger was quoted in the police report as telling the tenant before striking him four times with a belt. The report said the belt left “little marks.” Waynesville Police Chief Gary Copeland talked to the accuser, who reportedly told him he submitted to the
whipping because “he was scared and just wanted to get it over with,” according to the police report. The Dayton Daily News (http://bit.ly/YnFeWC ) reported that Kronenberger is a former chamber of commerce president who was Waynesville’s “Citizen of the Year” for 2006. His home phone wasn’t accepting messages Thursday.
Doctor pleads not guilty Salim, 44, of New Albany in central Ohio, is accused of killing Deanna Ballman, 23, and her unborn child last summer with a fatal dose of heroin after she responded to an ad for a housekeeper placed by Salim. Ballman was nine months pregnant when she was killed. Her family has said the ad was for housecleaning services, but Delaware County Prosecutor Carol O’Brien, without elaborating, said Thursday, “that’s not
quite what we’ve found.” Delaware County Judge Duncan Whitney rejected prosecutors’ arguments for bail of $5 million on the grounds that Salim, a Pakistan native, had reason to leave the country. Prosecutors and Salim’s attorney both said they expect Salim to make bail. Assistant county prosecutor Kyle Rohrer said Salim tried to tamper with evidence and would be a flight risk once he learns that investigators recovered it.
Gee recommends OSU tuition freeze COLUMBUS (AP) — Ohio State University’s president wants to freeze tuition and fees for students this fall. E. Gordon Gee (gee) told state lawmakers Wednesday that he’ll recommend to the university’s board of trustees that tuition and fees remain stable to make OSU more affordable. The board will vote on it April 5. Board chairman Robert H. Schottenstein said in a written statement that the board “will seriously con-
sider this recommendation.” The Columbus Dispatch reports that undergraduate tuition for instate students at the Columbus campus is currently $10,037. Gee said he didn’t know if campus officials would recommend a room-and-board increase. Gee said Ohio State is able to freeze tuition at a time of diminished state funding and uncertain federal dollars because it has looked for other revenue.

OUT OF THE BLUE 104-year-old lies to get on Facebook GROSSE POINTE SHORES, Mich. (AP) — Facebook is apologizing for a problem that makes a 104-year-old Michigan woman lie about her age on the social media website. Marguerite Joseph’s granddaughter says Facebook won’t let Joseph list her real age. Gail Marlow says when she tries inputting her grandmother’s birth year as 1908, Facebook changes it to 1928. So for the past two years, the Grosse Pointe Shores centenarian has remained 99 — online, anyway. Joseph is legally blind and can’t hear well, but Marlow reads and responds to all her Facebook messages. Marlow tells WDIV-TV she’d “love to see” Joseph’s real age posted and chalks it up to “a glitch in the system.” Facebook spokesman Andrew Noyes told The Associated Press on Wednesday that it’s working to fix a problem limiting used of pre-1910 birthdates.

IN THIS Tuesday photo, Carlos Maisonet, 73, reacts as Dr. Eva Berrios-Colon, a professor at Touro College of Pharmacy, injects him with flu vaccine during a visit to the faculty practice center at Brooklyn Hospital in New York. Health officials said Thursday this season’s flu shot was only 9 percent effective in protecting seniors against the most common and dangerous flu bug. Flu vaccine tends to protect younger people better than older ones and is never 100 percent effective. But experts say the preliminary results are disappointing and highlight the need for a better vaccine.
Flu shot not protecting seniors ATLANTA (AP) — It turns out this year’s flu shot is doing a startlingly dismal job of protecting older people, the most vulnerable age group. The vaccine is proving only 9 percent effective in those 65 and older against the harsh strain of the flu that is predominant this season, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Thursday. Health officials are baffled as to why this is so. But the findings help explain why so many older people have been hospitalized with the flu this year. Despite the findings, the CDC stood by its recommen-
dation that everyone over 6 months get flu shots, the elderly included, because some protection is better than none, and because those who are vaccinated and still get sick may suffer less severe symptoms. “Year in and year out, the vaccine is the best protection we have,” said CDC flu expert Dr. Joseph Bresee. Overall, across the age groups studied, the vaccine’s effectiveness was found to be a moderate 56 percent, which means those who got a shot have a 56 percent lower chance of winding up at the doctor with the flu. That is somewhat worse than what
has been seen in other years. For those 65 and older, the vaccine was only 27 percent effective against the three strains it is designed to protect against, the worst level in about a decade. It did a particularly poor job against the tough strain that is causing more than three-quarters of the illnesses this year. It is well known that flu vaccine tends to protect younger people better than older ones. Elderly people have weaker immune systems that don’t respond as well to flu shots, and they are more vulnerable to the illness and its complications, including pneumonia.
Drew Peterson sentenced SNOW said the winter storm to 38 years for murder Okla., would be centered in the JOLIET, Ill. (AP) — Drew Peterson — the swaggering Chicago-area police officer who gained notoriety after his much-younger fourth wife vanished in 2007 — was sentenced to 38 years in prison on Thursday for murdering his third wife. The sentence came moments after Peterson shocked the courtroom with a rare public outburst of anger as he proclaimed his innocence in the death of Kathleen Savio. “I did not kill Kathleen!” he shouted at the top of his lungs, emphasizing every word. Peterson seemed to look across the courtroom at Savio’s family. Savio’s sister Susan Doman shot back “Yes, you did. You liar!” before the judge ordered sheriff ’s deputies to remove her from the courtroom. Illinois does not have the death penalty, and the 59-
year-old Peterson had faced a maximum 60-year prison term. The judge gave him four years’ credit for time he has served since his arrest. Jurors convicted Peterson in September in Savio’s 2004 death. Neighbors found the 40-year-old’s body in a dry bathtub at home with a gash on her head — her hair soaked in blood. Peterson is also a suspect in the disappearance of Stacy Peterson — who was 23years-old when she vanished — but he hasn’t been charged in her case. It was her disappearance that led authorities to take another look at Savio’s death and eventually reclassify it from an accident to a homicide. Fascination nationwide with Drew Peterson arose from speculation he sought to use his law enforcement expertise to get away with murder.
Police replace investigator PRETORIA, South Africa (AP) — South African police appointed a new chief investigator Thursday in the Oscar Pistorius murder case, replacing a veteran detective after unsettling revelations that the officer was charged with seven counts of attempted murder. The sensational twist in the state’s troubled investigation fueled growing public fascination with the case against the double-amputee Olympian, who is charged with premeditated murder in the Valentine’s Day slaying of his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp. Pistorius, a sporting icon and source of inspiration to millions until the shooting last week, is backed by a high-powered team of lawyers and publicists. The abruptness of his fall, and its gruesome circumstances, have gripped a global audience and put South Africa’s police and judicial system under the spotlight. The man at the center of the storm sat in the dock during his bail hearing, mostly keeping his composure in contrast to slumped-over outbursts of weeping on previous days in court.
upper Midwest by Friday morning. “Even across Kansas, the snowfall rates should continue to taper off through the evening,” Mead said. The system left behind impressive snow accumulations, especially in western Kansas, where 17 inches fell in Hays. Several accidents and two deaths were blamed on icy and slushy roadways; two people died in crashes Wednesday. Most schools in Kansas and Missouri, and many in neighboring states, were closed Thursday and legislatures shut down in Kansas, Missouri, Arkansas, Nebraska and Iowa. National Weather Service meteorologist Scott Truett said it was “pouring snow” earlier Thursday, with it falling at a rate of 2 inches per hour or more in some spots. Topeka, Kan., got 3 inches of snow in a 30-minute period, leaving medical center worker Jennifer Carlock to dread the drive home. “It came on fast,” Carlock said as she shoveled around her car. “We’re going to test out traction control on the way home.” Snow totals passed the foot mark in many places: the Kansas cities of Hutchinson, Macksville and Hanston all saw 14 inches, and Wichita, Kan., had 13 inches. A few places in far northern Oklahoma saw between 10 to 13 inches of snow. Missouri’s biggest snow total was 10 inches, shared by the Kansas City metropolitan area, Rockport in the northwest corner and Moberly in the central part of the state. Transportation officials in affected states urged people to
TIMBUKTU, Mali (AP) — One of the last things the bearded fighters did before leaving this city was to drive to the market where traders lay their carpets out in the sand. The al-Qaida extremists bypassed the brightly colored, high-end synthetic floor coverings and stopped their pickup truck in front of a man selling more modest mats woven from desert grass, priced at $1.40 apiece. There they bought two bales of 25 mats each, and asked him to bundle them on top of the car, along with a stack of sticks. “It’s the first time someone has bought such a large amount,” said the mat seller, Leitny Cisse al-Djoumat. “They didn’t explain why they wanted so many.” Military officials can tell why: The fighters are stretching the mats across the tops of their cars on poles to form natural carports, so that drones cannot detect them from the air. The instruction to camouflage cars is one of 22 tips on how to avoid drones, listed on a document left behind by the Islamic extremists as they fled northern Mali from a French military intervention last month. A Xeroxed copy of the document, which was first published on a jihadist forum two years ago, was found by The Associated Press in a manila envelope on the floor of a building here occupied by alQaida of the Islamic Maghreb.
From Page 1 simply stay home. “If you don’t have to get out, just really, please, don’t do it,” Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback said. Interstate 70 through Kansas was snow-packed, and a 200-mile stretch between Salina and Colby was closed. In Iowa, visibility was down to a quarter- to a half-mile on some southern and central Iowa roads, the state Department of Transportation said early Thursday evening. Driving in the region’s cities wasn’t much better. Richard Monroe, 27, technology manager and marketing representative for the Missouri State University bookstore in Springfield, and eight of his colleagues arrived in Kansas City, Mo., on Wednesday for a conference. He said a shuttle bus that was taking participants from the Weston Crown Center hotel to Bartle Hall, about five minutes away, got stuck in the snow and then ran into a truck. The vehicle was incapacitated for nearly two hours. “We saw today that Kansas City is just shut down. I’ve never seen a big city like this where nothing is moving,” Monroe said. But some people came down with cabin fever, like Jennifer McCoy of Wichita, Kan. She loaded her nine children — ages 6 months to 16 years — in a van for lunch at Applebee’s. “I was going crazy, they were so whiny,” McCoy said. Cases of wine and beer — as well as bottles of scotch and whiskey — were flying off the shelves at Ingersoll Wine and Spirits ahead of the storm’s arrival in Des Moines, Iowa. “A lot of people have been buying liquor to curl up by the fire,” wine specialist Bjorn Carlson said.
Car bomb kills at least 53 in Syrian capital DAMASCUS, Syria (AP) — A car bomb exploded Thursday near Syria’s ruling party headquarters in Damascus, killing at least 53 people and scattering mangled bodies among the blazing wreckage in one of the bloodiest days in the capital since the uprising began almost two years ago. Elsewhere in the city, two other bombs struck intelligence offices, killing 22, and mortar rounds hit the army’s central command, activists said. Recent rebel advances in the Damascus suburbs, combined with the bombings and three straight days of mortar attacks,
mark the most sustained challenge of the civil war for control of the seat of President Bashar Assad’s power. Syrian state media said the car bombing near the Baath Party headquarters and the Russian Embassy was a suicide attack that killed 53 civilians and wounded more than 200, with children among the casualties. Anti-regime activists put the death toll at 61, which would make it the deadliest Damascus bombing of the revolt. The violence has shattered the sense of normalcy that the Syrian regime has des-
perately tried to maintain in Damascus, a city that has largely been insulated from the bloodshed and destruction that has left other urban centers in ruins. The rebels launched an offensive on Damascus in July following a stunning bombing on a high-level government crisis meeting that killed four top regime officials, including Assad’s brother-in-law and the defense minister. Following that attack, rebel groups that had established footholds in the suburbs pushed in, battling government forces for more than a week before being routed and swept out.

Freytag leads tour through Sidney historic architecture BY RACHEL LLOYD rlloyd@civitasmedia.com Sidney architect John Freytag shared some of the history and influence of downtown Sidney architecture during the first installment of Sidney Altrusa Club’s annual luncheon Enrichment Series Thursday. Sidney’s architectural development was influenced more than anything by transportation, according to Freytag, part-owner of Freytag & ArchiAssociates, tects/Engineers. The evolution of transportation was key to the development of the variety of architectural styles that still exist in downtown Sidney today. “Sidney is really unmatched in western Ohio (in architectural variety) because of the Courtsquare,” Freytag said, as he led the lunchtime gathering through a PowerPoint presentation of historic and modern photos, interspersed with architectural and historical facts. architectural The style in Sidney’s early days was influenced by the presence of the canal feeder flowing through town. Buildings of the Federal style, an offshoot of Colonial style, grew up in those days, Freytag said. The style was very rectangular and simple, and it dominated new construction in the area from about 1837 to 1850. In 1851 came the railroad boom in Sidney, and with it came the Greek Revival style to downtown, featuring pedigables and mented columns. The Italianate style, featuring lowpitched roofs with pro-

From 1873 to 1890 came a building boom in downtown Sidney, Freytag said, with 32 buildings being constructed at that time. More buildings of the French Second Empire appeared during this period. Downtown examples of the style include the Taylor Building, that had to be razed in 2011 because of severe structural deterioration, and the Courthouse itself. Freytag noted that Sidney’s downtown even features a prominent example of Spanish Mission style architecture, which is a far more common sight in areas such as California and the Southwest. He clarified, though, that Sidney First United Methodist Church was originally built in Gothic style.
A prominent example of Victorian Gothic style that remains downtown is the Monumental Building, which was recently restored. The style, while beautiful and ornate, was never as popular as Greek Revival or Italianate, Freytag said. The next architectural trend to touch downtown was Romanesque, in which the arch was a dominant feature. Freytag showed the style in a photo the old county steam building, which had stood behind the old sheriff ’s office downtown. Another building era came from 1910 to 1918, when 12 new buildings appeared downtown. It was a new and modern age, showcased by such design as Louis Sullivan’s distinctly ornate People’s Federal Savings and Loan Building and the Art Moderne style of The Spot. The Neo-Classical Revival style, reflecting

Think on these things
Shameful history I have written about this shameful history of the North before, because it did not happen only in Shelby County, but most everywhere. African-Americans fled the South seeking acceptance, and oftentimes they found a subtler, but still painful segregation. Maybe some folks would say, it’s over and we should just forget it. Yet to paraphrase the wise words of the late Holocaust survivor, Elisabeth Sondheimer, of Lima, “If we simply bury the past, we are likely to repeat it.” Instead, “We’ve got to do better,” urged Bishop Wilson. “Fifty years after Dr. King made the speech I’m finding out …We’ve got to do better.” But how can we? Dr. Ervin Smith believes there is a remedy to the racism that seeks to destroy communities. The retired educator said, (We have) “got to work with our children, work with each other … until we all see each other as children of God.” The writer is a freelance journalist and inspirational speaker.

quality of being equal … we just wanted to be treated fairly,” he said. “One of the great deceptions I had 52 years ago when I came to Shelby County … (I) was really surprised some things going on here (concerning racism). Thought I was leaving those things behind,” said the local pastor. During the ’60s, he found out that blacks could only live in certain neighborhoods, and that there were still local businesses where he couldn’t get service. I listened as both older men portrayed growing up in the segregated south. Escaping to the Midwest, they believed they would be accepted for who they were. Although often they were met with a subtle segregation, that was a difficult enemy to combat.
I understand the perpetrators of the Columbine massacre violated 21 laws. Would a dozen more make it less repugnant? The administration’s proposals are asinine to say the least, especially since we can’t enforce the statutes already on the books. Let’s get real. We are living in a society that is sick; time-honored virtues and values are passe and anything goes. The overworked cliche, “Guns don’t kill, people kill,” is still valid. I, for one, am curious as to what mind-altering drugs may have been prescribed for these kids as they were growing up. And on the aforementioned global gun ban, the administration’s collaborating on, can you imagine any Muslim turning in their AK47? If you consider the above merely balderdash, ponder this: How secure will you feel when only the military, the constabulary and the criminals have firearms? Carl Zimmerman 12222 Sidney-Freyburg Road
LETTER
TO EDITOR
Support troops Saturday To the editor: I was listening to a talk radio station a month ago and heard something that affected me deeply. Michael Meyer (documentarian) made statements suggesting Americans no longer care about the troops. This person should do the research, because there are several organizations and individual that support out troops. A few come to mind: American Legions, VFWs, DAVS and schools. I want to prove this person wrong. This is why I decided to create a donation day for the troops. I want to declare Feb. 23 as Help Our Troops (H.O.T.) and we are inviting Shelby County to stand up to the negativity and show everyone we still care, we still want to help, and we will always support our troops who are sacrificing their lives. One Saturday, Feb. 23, please donate items such as laundry soap, lotion, lip balm, food, candy, toiletry items and any day items we take for granted. Monetary donations will also be accepted. Location will be American Legion Post No. 217, 1265 Fourth Ave., Sidney, 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Martha Zimmerman 11470 Schenk Road

Board learns about crisis intervention JACKSON CENTER — Jackson Center Board of Education members learned at their recent meeting about the development of a crisis intervention team at the school. During his monthly report, high school Principal Jeff Reese noted he recently attended active shooter training in Columbus to learn the newest developments to help keep students safe in the event of a crisis. School officials report the information was shared with staff. Reese also has initiated a crisis intervention team, which includes Jackson Center Police Chief Joseph Cotterman, guidance counselor Marilyn Kohler, and any teacher who wants to participate. The team meets periodically to discuss any issues that arise and develop interventions for dealing with them. In another issue dealing with security, Superintendent Bill Reichert advised the board of quotes he received for installing a buzzer system for the front entrance. Reichert said there are also
discussions of providing a satellite office for the Jackson Center Police Department where officers can spend time during the day to provide a presence at the school. Reichert also reported work continues on the Race to the Top program and completing the agenda for a teacher professional development day set for Monday. Reese advised board members that eighthgraders will be participating in the “Monitoring the Future” on March 14. The survey will be conducted by a representative of the University of Michigan. The survey asks students about their attitudes toward school and the use of alcohol and drugs, as well as their future plans, health and leisure activities, and school experiences. Elementary Principal Ginger Heuker reported teachers from Fairlawn and Akron elementary schools recently visited Jackson Center to gather information about departmentalization at the school. The board accepted
the resignation of teacher Cathy Tenney contingent upon attaining retire/rehire status for the 201314 school year. In other personnel action, the board approved the following supplemental contracts: Ron Perkey, assistant baseball coach; Jim Schwartz, assistant softball coach; Doug Meyer, assistant baseball coach; Kim Halberstadt, volunteer assistant softball coach; and Kylan Booser, assistant track coach. During the financial portion of the meeting, it was noted the passage earlier this month of the 0.5 percent earned income tax by voters will help the district’s financial position. The first revenues will be received in April 2014. The board also discussed the impact and lack of details on Gov. John Kasich’s education plan. Efforts to minimize energy costs and building maintenance were reviewed. The board approved the payment of $2,854 for dues in the Ohio School Boards Association.
Group prepares for contest JACKSON CENTER — The Jackson Center Family, Career and Community Leaders of America have been busy getting ready for regional competition on March 2 at the Upper Valley Career Center in Piqua. On Feb. 14, one of the teams, including Riley Morris, Kaneta Schaub and Jessica Hilyard, completed a project called “Kisses and Stitches” by delivering candy lip suckers and hosting the “Kiss the Pig” assembly.

$27.25. They were sold during the students’ lunches for the past two weeks and were distributed on Valentine’s Day. The “Kiss the Pig” is a competition to see which teacher the students wanted to see kiss a real pig. Students were able to donate loose change into voting boxes for two weeks. At the end of the day, on Feb. 14, an assembly was held for all students in grades 4-12. The female winner was Jan Davidson; she raised $21.10. There was a tie for first for the male teachers; the winners
were Isaac Klopfenstein and Travis Pulfer. They each earned $13.55 for a total of $27.10. The total earnings for all the teachers was $61.28. An additional donation was received at the close of the assembly to round the donation out to $100. All proceeds will be donated to the Dayton Ronald McDonald House and the Children’s Medical Center of Dayton. The donation will be made in Landon Reese’s name. FCCLA members also sewed pillowcases and blankets that will also be donated, too.

JACKSON CENTER — Jackson Center Spoons N’ Spools 4-H Club held its first meeting of the new 4-H year Feb. 11. The first order of business was the reading of the 4-H Constitution, and all members signed. Next, members signed up to work shifts at the 4Scholarship H/FFA Breakfast on March 3 from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Jackson Center School and also volunteered to bring breakfast casseroles. Anyone interested in tickets for the breakfast should contact any member or adviser Kristi Bayhan at 6389577.

Do you think should cut coaches (drop) players who lack advanced ability? — Jerry, Evansville, Ind. JERRY: Basketball teams must drop unskilled players mainly because of a limited practice area and the fact that only five players constitute a starting team. Not so for football. Teams start 11 players on offense and 11 more on defense and practice in the great outdoors large enough to grow wheat or corn. Football coaches should never cut any player unless for disciplinary reasons.

HOROSCOPE BY FRANCES DRAKE For Saturday, Feb. 23, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You feel you need to be yourself today — to be who you really are. Romantic relationships will be emotional. It’s a fun day. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) You might want to cocoon at home today. Youthful memories could be bubbling to the surface of your mind, and you need time to cogitate. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) When talking to others today, you want to speak at a “gut” level of communication. You don’t want superficial chitchat. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You might identify with your possessions more than usual, which is why you might not want to lend something. It’s a good day to clean and maintain your stuff. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) The Moon is in your sign today, which makes you feel more emotional than usual. But you’re also inclined to attract some good luck. Yay! VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) You feel like hiding or withdrawing a bit today. It’s not that you’re antisocial, you just want some privacy. (We all have days like this.) LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) You feel more protective about your friends today. Naturally, you’ll be supportive, but you also might feel jealous if they pay more attention to someone else. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Your reputation and your career are important to you today. You want to be noticed, and you want to get respect. It’s a good day for all kinds of public relations. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) You have a strong urge today to break away from your daily routine. That’s because you want a little adventure, and you also want to learn something new. Don’t be afraid to shake it up a little. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) This is a poor day to make important decisions about inheritances and shared property, because you feel rather possessive about things. You’re just not in the mood to share. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Your focus today is on personal relationships and partnerships. Conflicts with others definitely will be more emotional. Guard against knee-jerk reactions to what others say. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) You want to tidy up your life and even do something that will improve your health. It’s like a tiny impulse to turn over a new leaf, even if it lasts only a day. YOU BORN TODAY You are a downto-earth realist who has the respect of others. You do your homework before you speak. You often end up in a position of leadership even if you don’t seek it. You want a solid home, but you don’t indulge in extravagance. A major change might take place in the year ahead, perhaps something as significant as what occurred around 2004.

mend people do whatever kind of exercise they like and that is comfortable for them. Walking is great because it takes no special equipment, can be done virtually anywhere and doesn’t put excess stress on the joints. Biking is great, too, because it puts even less stress on the joints, although it may not help the bones stay as strong as does walking or, better yet, jogging. However, biking can be done at any level of intensity, from a low-intensity pedal around the neighborhood, to maximum-intensity bike racing. Changing up your exercises is a great idea too. If you weigh 130 pounds, walking can burn off 120-350 calories an hour. A slow bike ride might burn 240 calories an hour, but a trained bike racer might burn off 1,000 calories per hour!
Feb. 22, 1938 Pleading not guilty to charges of petty larceny when arraigned before Mayor Sexauer this morning, the trio of Piqua men held in connection with the alleged theft of corn from the farm home of John W.

CINCINNATI REDS second baseman Brandon Phillips bunts during spring training baseball in Goodyear, Ariz., Monday.
Phillips likes chance to bat lower in lineup GOODYEAR, Ariz. (AP) — Second baseman Brandon Phillips is embracing the chance to bat lower in the Cincinnati Reds’ order. Phillips has been Cincinnati’s most versatile hitter, moving from spot to spot whenever there’s been an injury. He’s led off a lot because the Reds haven’t had a proven top-of-the-order hitter. He’s also hit in the second, third and cleanup spots. The Reds acquired ShinSoo Choo from Cleveland in an offseason trade, giving them someone to bat first. Now Phillips can move down a bit to a spot that fits him better. He says he likes batting third best of all, but is willing to move around if needed. “The player that will benefit the most with Choo here is Brandon Phillips,” general manager Walt Jocketty said. “He has been all over the lineup and has been great about it, but we think his best spot in the order is second.” Phillips has gotten used to moving around in the batting order and doesn’t mind where he hits. He prefers the No. 3 spot. “If I could hit anywhere, I would like to hit third like I did in ‘07,” Phillips said. “I feel like I can do everything that I want to do. I feel like a total ballplayer. Also, you feel like you’re the man when you hit third.” Phillips batted third just 17 times in 2007, hitting .239 in that slot. He batted fourth in 81 games and hit .306. He prefers that to batting second.
“When you bat second, you’ve got to get the guys over, there are a lot of hit-andruns,” Phillips said. “You don’t get to steal that often. You’re like the setup man in the lineup. “Whatever they want me to do to make the team better, I’ll do it. I just want to win.” Manager Dusty Baker and his teammates have praised Phillips for his willingness to move around in the batting order. Baker has referred to him as his most valuable player for his versatility in the batting order. Even though Phillips has moved around in the batting order, he has remained a productive hitter. “It’s good to see Dusty and my teammates really respect that,” Phillips said. “There are not too many guys who can do what I do.” Phillips finds it difficult to set individual goals, but he is quick to identify team goals. The Reds have won the NL Central in two of the last three seasons, but failed to make it past the first round of the playoffs. “I want to get to the next round of the playoffs,” he said. “I want to start there. Of course the goal every year is to win the ring, but I feel like you’ve got to take steps. “As for myself, it’s kind of hard because every time I set a goal, I have to change somewhere in the batting order. It’s kind of hard to reach those goals. Like one year I was trying to get 100 RBIs when I hit fourth, then I had to bat leadoff. Then I wanted to score 100 runs
UD women win 67-63
Correction: Headline was incorrect
OLEAN, N.Y. (AP) — Andrea Hoover scored 13 points and Ally Malott had 12 points and 11 rebounds to lead No. 14 Dayton to a 67-63 victory over St. Bonaventure in an Atlantic 10 Conference game Thursday night. Leading 11-10 with 12:30 left in the first half, the Flyers (23-1, 11-0) scored 10 consecutive points over the next 3:32 to take a 21-10 advantage. The Flyers, who outrebounded the Bonnies 50-35, led 32-24 at halftime. Dayton's lead ranged from seven to 14 points until St. Bonaventure scored nine straight to close to 65-61 with 9 seconds remaining. Kelley Austria made two free throws for a 67-61 lead for Dayton, which has won 11 straight.
and they put me back to fourth. “There are so many things that it’s hard to set goals for myself.” Phillips is getting ready to represent the United States in the World Baseball Classic, something he’s called a dream come true.
Reds block Cueto from Classic The Reds have blocked ace Johnny Cueto from pitching for the Dominican Republic in next month’s World Baseball Classic. Cueto strained his right oblique eight pitches into last October's division series against San Francisco. Because he finished the year with an injury, the Reds had the right to block him from playing in the WBC. “I wanted to pitch for the Dominican but the team said no. It’s all right,” Cueto said Thursday. “I am going to work to get ready for the season. I was ready to pitch. I’m 100 percent.” Cueto was 19-9 with a 2.78 ERA in 33 starts during the regular season “I’m not sure happy is the right word. I’m more relieved,” manager Dusty Baker said. “I understand the pressure for the Latin player to pitch for their country. If he was a 10-game winner instead of a 19-game winner, there wouldn't be as much pressure.” The Dominican Republic is in Group C with Puerto Rico, Spain and Venezuela. “I will be watching the Classic and rooting for the Dominican,” Cueto said.
LEBANON — Troy took something earlier this season that the Sidney Lady Jackets had their hearts set on — a Greater Western Ohio Conference North basketball championship. Sidney could do nothing about that, but the Lady Jackets have certainly done the next best thing — two straight wins over the Lady Trojans, including one Thursday that knocked them out of Division I postseason play. Sidney rolled up 21 points in the opening quarter, then settled in and played outstanding defense to hold off the Lady Trojans 45-40 in the D-I Sectional semifinals at Lebanon High School. The win puts Sidney at 159 and into the sectional championship a week from Saturday at Lebanon against 21-1 Fairmont, which beat Vandalia by 50 in Thursday’s first game. “We got off to a great start again,” said Sidney coach Megan Mummey. “They came out in a box-and-one on Konner (Harris) but Monique Hanayik stepped up and made them pay. She drained some big shots in the first half for us, and Konner still did a great job of distributing the ball and creating for herself.” The Lady Jackets sprinted to a 21-11 lead after one quarter, but Troy cut the lead down to three at the half at 31-28. The second half saw very little scoring, with Sidney outpointing the Lady Trojans 1412. “It was just a matter of neither team being able to hit shots in the second half,” said
Mummey. “Troy had four chances in the fourth quarter when we were only up three, but we played incredible defense and got rebounds.” The Lady Jackets finally put it away with :12 remaining when Lauren Elmore shook off a hard foul and calmly dropped in a pair of free throws to make it a fivepoint game. “The girls did a great job, especially since we didn’t practice against a zone all week,” said Mummey. “They ran man-to-man against us last time, and we were especially not prepared for a boxand-one. I was drawing up plays in the huddle and the girls did what they needed to do. “It was a fantastic win,” she added. “We split with them during the regular season, but they took the GWOC North and that was one of our goals. Our girls were intense the entire game, whether we were having trouble scoring or not.” Harris led the Lady Jackets with 16 and Hanayik added 11. Sylvia Hudson pulled down nine rebounds, and both Harris and Elmore had four assists apiece. Sidney (45) Harris 6-2-16; Hanayik 4-1-11; Elmore 2-2-6; Wise 2-0-4; Hudson 3-2-8. Totals: 17-7-45. Troy (40) Norris 5-3-13; N. Taylor 2-0-5; Mazzulla 2-0-6; T. Taylor 1-0-2; Wood 5-3-14. Totals: 15-6-40.

Duel 1 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series auto race at Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Fla., Thursday.
Harvick, Kyle Busch win Daytona Sprint Cup duels DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Perfect so far at Speedweeks, Kevin Harvick has positioned himself as the favorite to win the Daytona 500. It’s the last label he wanted. “We like to be the underdog. lame-duck That’s what we’re shooting for,” Harvick said. Harvick won the first Daytona 500 qualifying race on Thursday to make it 2 for 2 at Daytona International Speedway, where he also won an exhibition race last weekend. It positions Harvick, the 2007 Daytona 500 winner, as a top contender in Sunday’s season-opening “Great American Race.” It comes at a time when Harvick has found a balance in his life with the addition of son, Keelan, who was born last July, and as he heads into his final season with Richard Childress Racing. Harvick has already decided to move to Stewart-Haas Racing in 2014. “We’ve been fortunate to win the first two races of Speedweeks. We’ve just got to keep a level head on our shoulders, not get too high over what we’ve done, just do the same things that
we’ve done,” he said. “If it’s meant to be, it’s meant to be. I think we definitely have the car and team to be in contention to do that.”
Second duel Kyle Busch won the second duel to give Toyota its first victory of Speedweeks and snap Chevrolet’s dominance. Harvick took the new Chevrolet SS to Victory Lane twice, and Danica Patrick put it on the Daytona 500 pole in time trials. Busch held off Kasey Kahne, in a Chevrolet, and learned the driver out front is in the strongest position. “It’s hard to pass the leader,” said Busch. “Stay out front. When you get out front, you can hold everyone off.” Kahne, who settled for second, said timing will be critical. “I don’t think waiting ‘til the last lap is the ticket anymore,” Kahne said. Although he’s seen Harvick dominate for two races now, Kahne believes drivers are still figuring out NASCAR’s new Gen-6 car, the right strategy for Sunday — and watching Harvick. “I think Kevin looks really good. I always
think Kevin is one of the guys to beat when we come to Daytona,” Kahne said. “He’s got this place figured out. I think he can be beat, yeah. There’s a few of us in the second race who had really good cars, and I could move around really well, similar to what Harvick did in the first race.”
Held off Biffle In the first race, Harvick held off Greg Biffle over a four-lap sprint to win his 150-mile duel, with the second race held later Thursday afternoon. Harvick and Biffle also went 1-2 in last Saturday night’s exhibition race. The starting field for the Daytona 500 is set by the results from the pair of 60-lap qualifiers, but Patrick held onto the pole by running a safe race in the first qualifier. The first woman to win a pole at NASCAR’s top level, Patrick earned the top starting spot in time trials last weekend. She started first in the first qualifier, raced a bit early, then faded back to run a conservative race and ensure she’ll start first in the 500. “I hate coming to the end like that and just
lagging back,” she said. “That’s not fun. But it’s also really ignorant to go drive up into the pack and be part of an accident for absolutely no reason. You’re really not going to learn much there.”
Patrick 17th Patrick wound up 17th out of 23 cars. “What I really feel like I need to do is go down to the Harvick bus and see what he’s doing,” she said. “He’s got it going on down here.” The first race was dull until Denny Hamlin brought out the only caution with seven laps remaining. Hamlin lost control of his car, spun into Carl Edwards and triggered a four-car accident that also collected Regan Smith and Trevor Bayne, who had a dominant car early in the qualifier. “I know what the wrecks look like now, I am really familiar with them,” said Edwards, who was wrecked at testing in January and in practice for the exhibition race last week. He was also black-flagged in the exhibition race when his window net fell off.
McIlroy, Tiger lose in Match Play MARANA, Ariz. (AP) — The snow is gone from the Match Play Championship, and so are Rory McIlroy and Tiger Woods. In a stunning conclusion to what already is a bizarre week on Dove Mountain, Shane Lowry of Ireland made a 4-foot par putt on the 18th hole to eliminate Rory McIlroy in the opening round Thursday of golf ’s most unpredictable tournament. “It’s definitely a day I’m going to remember,” said Lowry, the third player in the last four years to beat the No. 1 seed in the opening round. Moments later, Charles Howell III finished off a fabulous round in cold conditions by defeating Woods on the 17th hole. Howell, who had not faced Woods in match play since losing to him in the third round of the 1996 U.S. Amateur, played bogey-free on a course that still had patches of snow and ice after being cleared Thursday morning. The match was all square when Howell hit a wedge that stopped inches from the cup on the 15th hole for a conceded birdie. Then, he holed a 25-foot birdie putt on the 16th and

TIGER WOODS looks down from the 12th tee box at his lie on the fairway in the first round against Charles Howell III during the Match Play Championship golf tournament Thursday in Marana, Ariz. went 2 up when Woods badly missed a 12-foot birdie putt. “I had nothing to lose,” said Howell, who started the year outside the top 100 in the world and hasn’t qualified for this World Golf Championship in five years. “In this format, match play is crazy. He’s Tiger Woods. I was lucky to hang in there.” The final matches were played in near darkness, and they could have stopped after 15 holes. Woods wanted to play on, even though
Howell had the momentum. Woods was 2 under for the day, and neither of them made a bogey. “We both played well,” Woods said. “He made a couple of more birdies than I did. He played well, and he’s advancing.” McIlroy, the No. 1 player in the world, built a 2-up lead early in the match until Lowry rallied and grabbed the moment by chipping in for birdie on the par-3 12th and then ripping a fairway metal to within a few feet for a conceded
eagle on the 13th. Lowry missed a short par putt on the 14th, only for McIlroy to give away the next hole with a tee shot into the desert and a bunker shot that flew over the 15th green and into a cactus. But the two-time major champion hung tough, coming up with a clutch birdie on the 16th to stay in the game. McIlroy nearly holed his bunker on the 18th, and Lowry followed with a steady shot out to 4 feet and calmly sank the putt.

It’s an office,” said Lenhart, who noted that unlike police departments, “if I'm not doing my job, you have recourse every four years. ... I have 50,000 bosses.” Lenhart said it is “an honor to serve in the position of elected sheriff. ... The first mission of a sheriff is to protect and to serve.”
‘Workload’
‘Unique opportunity’
“The difference in the workload has changed for a number of reasons,” he said. He noted that when he first became sheriff originally, he had 38 employees. Today, there are 100, and he said there was no union then. 911 did not exist at that time. There was no concealed carry and no animal shelter under the Sheriff’s Office care. The Buckeye State Sheriff’s Association pays for the training through the AG’s office. “It’s mandatory, you have no choice,” Lenhart said regarding the training. In a lighthearted part of the training, the new sheriffs “had a jar set up” and every time a new sheriff called a “sheriff’s office” a “sheriff’s

Lenhart noted that when there was a question in the class about “how it used to be” in sheriffs offices, he was the one providing the information during the training. “It was a good experience. Even if I wouldn’t have had to, I probably would have volunteered for it,” Lenhart said. Lenhart was required to complete training two weeks before he took office and is required to complete one more week this year. Lenhart said he has benefitted from getting to know the other new sheriffs. “It is truly a professional brotherhood,” he said.
