Washington, with the contraceptive mandate from the Department of Health and Human Services being an “assault on religious liberty.” Religious freedom was not the only hot-button topic, as Jordan went on about the current government’s “wrong tax policy, wrong regulatory policy, most definitely wrong energy policy” to general approbation from the crowd. “Keystone Pipeline? Gimme a break!” he said. Jordan returned to his oft-
repeated theme that “the world is better when we lead,” noting that “we can’t lead militarily and diplomatically if we don’t lead economically.” He pointed out that the nation’s debt to GDP (gross domestic product) ratio is now 1:1. “That’s a terrible place to be,” Jordan said, adding that the United States is heading down the same road that led to the economic catastrophe in Greece.

A preliminary hearing for David A. Ordean, 3 0 , ch a r g e d by Sidney Police with pointing a handgun at a o f f i c e r, and various other Ordean charges, has been set for Monday at 9.45 a.m. before Judge Duane Goettemoeller in Sidney Municipal Court. Ordean, at large, is facing felony charges of improperly discharging a firearm, two counts of felonious assault with a weapon or ordinance and one count of intimidation. Bond on the charges was set Tuesday morning at $15,000 cash or surety. Ordean was arrested Friday following an inci-
dent at 1911 Hayes St. where police were dispatched in reference to a report gunshots had been fired. On arrival officers were told the shooter had left the scene in a vehicle. Checking the area, an officer located the described vehicle and began pursuit. The vehicle abruptly stopped and Ordean exited holding a silver handgun which he allegedly pointed at the officer as he ran. Checking the area, police later recovered a .25-caliber semi-automatic handgun which was taken as evidence. After interviewing multiple witnesses who testified Ordean had discharged the weapon at the Hayes Street address, he was later located and apprehended without incident in an apartment at 527 E. Court St.

honor to serve even briefly with you, the council, and the city staff on behalf of the city of Sidney.” On council’s behalf, Barhorst accepted Hewitt’s resignation “with regret,” In a letter sent Hewitt, the mayor wrote: “I am deeply disappointed you feel forced to resign, but certainly understand that work and family can exert pressures that make public service extremely difficult, if not untenable. “It is my sincere hope that given your passion for the City of Sidney, your interest in all things political, and your desire to give back to the community, you will one day be able to return to local elected public office.” The mayor’s letter continued, “On behalf of Council, Interim City Manager Tom Judy, and the Senior Directors, I thank you for your service to the citizens of our community. I truly hope that you will find opportunities to return to the local political arena in the future.” Council will appoint a qualified elector to complete Hewitt’s term, which expires on Nov. 30, 2015. According to Sidney’s city charter, interested parties must be residents of Sidney and qualified electors. Citizens interested in filling the vacant seat should submit a letter stating their interest to City Clerk Joyce Goubeaux no later than April 9.

REP. JIM Jordan, R-Urbana, 4th District, speaks at a Libery Group meeting Tuesday.
JORDAN Jordan said the Congress has passed a budget that never balances, and only a slight increase in interest rates will see the government paying more for interest on its debt than it currently spends on national defense. Jordan welcomed input from the floor, such as a question from Marlene Rutschilling, of Minster, representing the Minster-New Bremen Right to Life, asking if Jordan supported the notion of personhood and what she could do to promote the Personhood Amendment in Ohio. The Congressman told her, “Short answer: Do anything you can to protect the sanctity of life.” He encouraged her to coordinate her efforts with other Right to Life organizations in the state. Larry Bergman, of Minster, asked Jordan about the increase in the executive power. “Historically,” Jordan told him, “the founders wanted the strongest branch of government to be the legislative branch - particularly the House. That’s why you get the opportunity to throw me
From Page 1 out every two years.” Jordan said since the days of Franklin D. Roosevelt, the executive branch has gotten more and more power. He said the legislative branch has allowed it to happen and the only way they will get it back is to take it back. Bergman also asked if Jordan would ask for Attorney General Eric Holder’s resignation. “I want the whole administration gone,” Jordan replied. “And the way to get them gone is at the ballot box.” Jordan said he believed “this is going to be the most intense political year in my lifetime.” He said politicians always say that, but he believes it to be true this year. The advantage, however, to Congress members’ focus on the upcoming election, Jordan said, is that it will minimize the harm they can do. Jordan also responded to questions about the “Obamacare” act, to which he vehemently voiced opposition, as well as national defense and support for Israel, which he heartily advocates.
AMBER ment and Sheriff’s Office was saturation patrol,” said Lenhart. “As of 4 p.m., that ended but officers are still going to be on the look out.” There was additional information that the suspects had moved out of the area or were headed in another direction but Lenhart said the deputies will remain vigilant until the suspects are caught. “Until they’re caught we don’t know where they’re at,” said Lenhart. “He’s armed and considered dangerous and our concern is the children’s safety. If he tries to run or gets cornered, those kids are going to be put in harm’s way.” It is believed the pair have ties to the Shelby County area. The children were originally removed from Knasel and Norberg’s custody on Feb. 17 after it was discovered that the parents were allegedly manufacturing methamphetamine in the house with the children present. It is unclear if the children were in the custody of another family member at the time of the suspected abduction.
From Page 1 Summer Knasel is described as three feet tall, 32 pounds, with brown hair and blue eyes. She was last seen wearing a Dora nightgown. Lovell Knasel is described as three feet four inches, 30 pounds, with blond hair and blue eyes. She was last seen wearing a princess nightgown. Jeremy Knasel has brown hair and blue eyes. He is believed to be 6 feet tall and weigh 210 pounds. Norberg has brown hair and green eyes. She is believed to be 5 feet 10 inches tall and weigh 200 pounds. Police say the pair took the children around midnight central time on Wednesday in Spencer, Tenn. They are believed to be armed with a handgun. According to the Amber Alert, they may be driving a 1987 dark blue Chevrolet Astro or a 1993 black Nissan Maxima with a Tennessee license plate 065VKS. If you have information as to the whereabouts of the children, call the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation at 1-800-TBI-FIND or 911.

Piqua woman rescued from fire BY WILL E SANDERS Ohio Community Media wsanders@dailycall.com PIQUA — A raging house fire fueled by exploding oxygen tanks quickly consumed a twostory residence located in the 500 block of Staunton Street on Wednesday that involved a nearby good Samaritan rescuing an older woman from inside the blazing home. Firefighters and paramedics rushed to 540 Staunton St. at approximately 11:40 a.m. and found a fast-acting inferno tearing through the house that sent billowing plumes of black smoke over the Shawnee section of the city. A woman was home at the time of the fire and after her rescue by a citizen who works nearby she was transported to the Upper Valley Medical Center with non-life threatening injuries. Her injuries consisted of minor burns on her hands and a shortness of breath. The woman could not be identified by the Piqua Fire Department, and her neighbors did not know her name, though they stated she and her family moved

Dave Smith, 52, of Lena, who works across the street at Custom Aerosol Packaging, 543 Staunton St., saw the flames and acted fast. He ran across the street and helped the woman out of her burning home after she appeared to be going back inside the burning structure.
“I said, ‘Come on we got to get out,’” Smith recalled. “I grabbed her and pulled her out, and that’s when the oxygen tanks started exploding. It was really loud and scary. … These two big booms — boom, boom — went off.” Smith said the woman had an oxygen mask on her face when he rescued her and the other end of
her oxygen tubes were singed in half by the flames. “She had an oxygen mask still on like she was smoking,” said Smith, who last year was on his way to work and also alerted a family that their barn was on fire along Ohio 589 near Fletcher. “This is the second time something like this has hap-
pened to me.” Officials with the Piqua Fire Department and the state fire marshal’s office continue to investigate the blaze. They have not listed monetary damages or a specific cause. However, Piqua Fire Chief Mike Rindler said the fire “looks accidental.” A state fire marshal at the scene did note that the fire began near the home’s front door. The home will likely be a complete loss, but that determination has yet to be made. The county’s building inspector told fire authorities the home was unstable. An adjacent home sustained heat damage to vinyl siding as a result of the blaze, which caused no other significant damage except for a few downed wires. Several animals died in the fire, but no other injuries were reported. The Northern Miami Valley Chapter of the American Red Cross confirmed they were assisting the family with immediate needs, such as shelter, food and clothing. During the fire, the Covington Fire Department was called in for assistance with provid-

Additional information on the fire was expected to be released today, Rindler said.
Employees turn into inventors to benefit community COLUMBUS (AP) — The inventions range from a high-tech 3-D joint scanner to a lowtech yet highly sanitary toilet-seat lifter, and the inventors range from a top-flight surgeon to a part-time shuttle-bus driver. But in the end, the result is the same at the OhioHealth Research and Innovation Institute: “This is a benefit to the community,” said John Niles, director of the institute. The institute takes employee ideas and puts them to work, building on research and innovation activities that are conducted at OhioHealth hospi-
tals, which include Riverside Methodist and Grant Medical Center in Columbus. In the past few years, 75 physicians, nurses and employees have brought in more than 130 new product concepts to OhioHealth’s program. Out of those concepts, 11 new companies have been formed and seven products are in clinical use. Other products are in varying degrees of development and commercialization. In most cases, “We start with the end user of the product,” said Patricia Eisendhardt, the manager of commercialization at the institute.
“They’ve recognized some unmet need and come to us, asking, ‘Could I do something to meet this need?’??” Such was the case when orthopedic surgeon Dr. Ray Wasielewski at Grant Medical Center realized there was a need for a quick, easy and noninvasive way of gaining 3D images of knees without using radiation. Wasielewski — “one of our rock star clinician innovators,” Niles said — knew that other doctors had long wanted a device to fill that need, but up until a few years ago lacked either the technology,
data or software to create it. “I think the ‘eureka moment’ was when I realized we now have all the parts to create the t e c h n o l o g y , ” Wasielewski said. His JointVue allows
a doctor or technician to wave a wand-like electromagnetic tracker to create a 3-D image of a knee on a video screen. An accessory will allow a technician to watch in real time as a needle is inserted into the knee.
JointVue, which is primarily a computer software program that can be applied to essentially any standard ultrasound equipment, is currently in clinical use at Grant but not yet for sale on the market.

Weather delays flights (AP) — DENVER Strong wind gusts have delayed flights in Denver, downed power lines in Boulder, and prompted evacuations near a small grass fire in Boulder County. At Denver International Airport, arriving flights could only approach from the west as winds gusted up to 40 mph. That delayed arrivals an average of 1 1/2 hours before the wind shifted, allowing the airport to use all of its runways for takeoffs and landings. A gust of 88 mph was recorded near Boulder, where winds snapped power poles and a tree fell on a parked car.
Comics sell for $3.5M DALLAS (AP) — The bulk of a man’s childhood comic book collection that included many of the most prized issues ever published has sold for about $3.5 million. Lon Allen, managing director of comics for Dallasbased Heritage Auctions, says Billy Wright’s 1939 copy of Detective Comics No. 27 that features the debut of Batman got the top bid at the New York City auction Wednesday. It sold for about $523,000, including a buyer’s premium. Action Comics No. 1, a 1938 issue featuring the first appearance of Superman, sold for about $299,000. And Batman No. 1 from 1940 sold for about $275,000.
Obama reaps benefits WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama is reaping political benefits from the country’s brighter economic mood. A new poll shows that Republicans and Democrats alike are increasingly saying the nation is heading in the right direction and most independents now approve the way he’s addressing the nation’s postrecession period. But trouble could be ahead: Still-struggling Americans are fretting over rising gasoline prices. Just weeks before the summer travel season begins, the Associated Press-GfK survey finds pump prices rising in importance and most people unhappy with how Democratic president has handled the issue.
OUT OF THE BLUE
No boiling water for lobster BOOTHBAY HARBOR, Maine (AP) — A giant 27pound lobster has been caught off the Maine coast, but it won’t be going into a pot of boiling water. Maine State Aquarium Director Aimee Hayden-Rodriques says Cushing shrimp fisherman Robert Malone caught the monster crustacean in his nets Friday. He gave it to the Department of Marine Resources to deliver to the aquarium, which the DMR operates in Boothbay Harbor. The beast weighed in at 27 pounds and measured nearly 40 inches long. It was dubbed Rocky because it was caught in the Rockland area, but Hayden-Rodriquez says it could have been named for Rocky the boxer because its claws are big enough to pack quite a punch.

Shelling kills 2 journalists BEIRUT (AP) — Syrian gunners pounded an opposition stronghold where the last dispatches from a veteran American-born war correspondent chronicled the suffering of civilians caught in the relentless shelling. An intense morning barrage killed her and a French photojournalist — two of 74 deaths reported Wednesday in Syria. “I watched a little baby die today,” Marie Colvin told the BBC from the embattled city of Homs on Tuesday in one of her final reports. “Absolutely horrific, a 2-year old child had been hit,” added Colvin, who worked for Britain’s Sunday Times. “They stripped it and found the shrapnel had gone into the left chest and the doctor said, ‘I can’t do anything.’ His little tummy just kept heaving until he died.” Colvin and photographer Remi Ochlik were among a group of journalists who had crossed into Syria and were sharing accommodations with activists, raising speculation that government forces targeted the makeshift media cen-

The two journalists were killed Wednesday by Syrian government shelling of the opposition stronghold of Homs, France's government said. ter, although opposition groups had previously described the shelling as indiscriminate. At least two other Western journalists were wounded. Hundreds of people have died in weeks of siege-style attacks on Homs that have come to symbolize the desperation
and defiance of the nearly year-old uprising against President Bashar Assad. The Syrian military appears to be stepping up assaults to block the opposition from gaining further ground and political credibility with the West and Arab allies. On
Wednesday, helicopter gunships reportedly strafed mountain villages that shelter the rebel Free Syrian Army, and soldiers staged door-to-door raids in Damascus, among other attacks. The bloodshed and crackdowns brought some of the most galvanizing calls for the end of Assad’s rule. “That’s enough now. The regime must go,” said French President Nicolas Sarkozy after his government confirmed the deaths of Colvin, 56, and Ochlik, 28. The U.S. and other countries have begun to cautiously examine possible military aid to the rebels. U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton heads to Tunisia for a meeting Friday of more than 70 nations to look at ways to assist Assad’s opponents, which now include hundreds of defected military officers and soldiers. “This tragic incident is another example of the shameless brutality of the Assad regime,” U.S. State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said of the killing of the journalists.
49 killed in train accident BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (AP) — A train packed with morning commuters slammed into a downtown station on Wednesday, killing 49 people and injuring hundreds as passenger cars crumpled and windows exploded around them. It was Argentina’s worst train accident in decades. The cause wasn’t immediately determined, but many pointed to a deteriorating rail system. Some passengers reported signs the conductor was struggling with the brakes before the crash, saying he kept overshooting platforms and missed one entirely. The dead included 48 adults and one child — most of whom had crowded into the first two cars to get ahead of the rush-hour crowds on arrival. Some 600 people were injured, including 461 who were hospitalized, Transporta-
tion Secretary J.P. Schiavi said. Hours after the crash, passengers’ relatives gathered at the morgue anxious for word of their loved ones. Ezekiel Mercado said he and his mother-in-law had been frantically searching for his wife, Sabrina Espindola, 29, who didn’t show up for work Wednesday. They checked nine hospitals before heading to the morgue, he said. “I went everywhere. She is always with her Blackberry. We are always in contact,” he said. “This morgue is the last place I thought of, but, well, she’s missing. I call her cell phone, and it rings, rings, but she isn’t responding.” Speaking at a news conference, Schiavi defended the rail system’s maintenance record.

Romney, Santorum swap charges in 20th debate MESA, Ariz. (AP) — Primed for a fight, Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum swapped accusations about spending, taxes and congressional earmarks Wednesday night in the 20th and possibly final debate of the roller-coaster race for the Republican presidential nomination. Texas Rep. Ron Paul chimed in, saying with a smile that Santorum was a fake conservative who had voted for programs that he now says he wants to repeal. With primaries in Arizona and Michigan six days distant, Romney said Santo-
rum voted five times while in Congress to raise the government’s ability to borrow, supported retention of a law that favors construction unions and supported increased spending for Planned Parenthood. He said federal spending rose 78 percent overall while the former Pennsylvania senator was in Congress. Santorum retorted that government spending declined as a percentage of the economy when he was in the Senate, and he noted that when Romney was asked last year if he would support a then-pend-
ing debt-limit increase, “he said yes.” There was a clash over federal spending earmarks, as well, and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich sought to intervene as if serving as a referee instead of a debate participant. He said he supported the earmarks that Romney had sought for the Olympics in Salt Lake City in 2002, then accused Romney of observing a double standard by running television ads attacking Santorum for having voted for different earmarks.
Teen dies after inhaling helium at party EAGLE POINT, Ore. (AP) — Last weekend, 14-year-old Ashley Long told her parents she was going to a slumber party. But instead of spending the night watching videos and eating popcorn two blocks away, she piled into a car with a bunch of her friends and rode to a condo in Medford, Ore., where police say the big sister of one of her friends was throwing a party with booze and marijuana. After drinking on the drive, and downing more drinks in the condo, it came time for Ashley to take her turn on a tank of helium that everyone else was inhaling to make their voices sound funny. “That helium tank got going around,” said Ashley’s stepfather, Justin Earp, who learned what happened from talking to Ashley’s friends at the party. “It got to my daughter. My daughter didn’t want to do it. It was peer pressure. They put a mask up to her face. They said it would be OK. ‘It’s not gonna hurt you. It’ll just make you laugh and talk funny.’” Instead, she passed out and

JUSTIN EARP and Loriann Earp stand in the room of their daughter Ashley Long, Wednesday in Eagle Point, Ore. Ashley died last weekend after inhaling helium from a pressurized tank during a party in Medford, Ore. The Earps hope their daughter’s death will teach others about the dangers of helium. later died at a hospital, the result of an obstruction in a blood vessel caused by inhaling helium from a pressurized tank. It’s a common party trick — someone sucks in helium to give their voice a cartoon character sound. But the death exposes the rare but real dangers of inhaling helium, especially from a
pressurized tank. Dr. Mark Morocco, associate professor of emergency medicine at the Ronald Reagan Medical Center in Los Angeles, said what happens is similar to when a scuba diver surfaces too quickly. A gas bubble gets into the bloodstream, perhaps through some kind of tear in a blood vessel, and can block
blood flow to the brain, causing a stroke. The gas is also commonly seen in suicide kits — mailorder hoods sold out of Oregon and elsewhere that can be attached to a helium tank by people who want to kill themselves. In those cases, the helium crowds out the oxygen, asphyxiating a person. Death from inhaling helium is so rare that the American Association Poison Control Centers lumps it in with other gases, such as methane and propane. Only three deaths were recorded in 2010, said spokeswoman Loreeta Canton. It’s important to remind kids that ingesting any substance — for the sake of getting high or just changing their voices — can be dangerous, said Frank Pegueros, executive director of DARE, Drug Abuse Resistance Education. Pegueros said the first defense is for parents to tell their kids about the dangers of certain substances. He said kids need to also ask themselves whether going along with the crowd at a party is worth it.

JoJo has astounding “thinks,” in which anything’s possible, but his parents believe this creativity is inappropriate for the son of the Mayor of Who-Ville. Meanwhile, the one-feathered bird, Miss Gertrude McFuzz, desperately wants Horton to notice her. Maybe, she thinks, she just needs a more impressive tail. At the same time, the amazingly lazy Maysie La Bird connives, cajoles and convinces Horton to sit on her egg while she goes off on a spree. Dr. Seuss’s beloved classic characters find themselves intertwined in an incredible crazy-quilt adventure, in which the power of imagination and the most miraculous “think” ever saves the day. “When I saw this show at the Ohio Arts Presenter Network I fell in love with it and I knew it was perfect for our new performing arts center,” Egbert said. “It is a show for all ages and the price is as low as we can to produce this type of show.” Egbert explained the cost of the reserved seating ticket is only $25. “We want to do shows that are top-quality shows, that are also in larger cities but that is affordable for the local residents,” said Egbert. “If you see shows such as this at other venues the seating prices are between $50 and $75 per seat.”

You care about others, but you’re also very passionate about your work. You’re quick to see new ways of doing things or new applications for existing things. Work hard to build or construct something this year, because your rewards soon will follow. Birthdate of: Steve Jobs, computer pioneer/entrepreneur; Ashley MacIsaac, musician; Debra Jo Rupp, actress.

If appropriate, your doctor can then make an appointment with a dietitian who can provide you with personal menus that will give you sufficient nutrients and at the same time, limit your caloric intake. In the majority of overweight “problems,” proper diet in conjunction with exercise will bring the desired result. It sounds easy, but it takes tremendous selfdiscipline and dedication to the cause. But it’s all worth the effort, both for your health and your self-esteem. Contact me in a few weeks and let me know how things are progressing.

Be ready, just as Noah was dent that the There is a future will come sense of certhat we forget tainty that to deal with seems to fill the what really hearts of people. matters now. I sit and listen In Matthew to people talk 24:36-39, the about all of plans. Scripture says their “But of that day They talk about Your hour and vacations that pastor knoweth no they would like man, no, not the to take. They speaks angels of talk about plans Pastor Chad heaven, but my for their future Inman Father only. But and for the fuas the days of ture of their family. People are mak- Noah were, so shall also ing plans for weddings, the coming of the Son of graduations and other man be. For as in the major things in their days that were before the flood they were eatlives. I find myself thinking ing and drinking, marryabout things I would ing and giving in like to do in the future marriage, until the day as well. We are planning that Noah entered into for our daughter’s grad- the ark. And knew not uation from the Chris- until the flood came, and took them all away; so tian Academy in May. There is nothing shall the coming of the wrong with planning for son of man be.” Jesus is coming things in the future. But we seem to get so confi- again. People are so
busy that they are living as if tomorrow is promised. Being a pastor, I have seen that death does not discriminate against age. Death has come to the youngest, to the oldest and to everyone in between. In James 4:14-15, we read, “Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away. For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this or that.” It is God that controls life and death. As we plan for these things that we would like to do in the future, we need to sit down and consider whether we personally know this God that is in control of death and life. The Bible says that we have all sinned and come short of heaven.
But God has still commended his love toward us that even though we are sinners. Christ died for our sins. If we will just realize that we all need to be forgiven through Jesus. The Bible says that Jesus is the way the truth and the life. No one can come to the Father except through his Son, Jesus. If you will trust in the work of Jesus and ask him for forgiveness, you will be saved. If you have done this you will be ready for when Jesus returns. In the day of Noah, they had never seen it rain. Noah was looked at as being a fool for building a boat. People laughed at him and continued to do whatever they wanted to do. They chose not to listen to him when he stated that the flood was going to come. Then when it was time, God sent Noah two
of every kind of animal and told him to get on the ark. The flood came but it was too late for them to get on then. When the eastern sky opens and the archangel shouts and the trumpets blare and Christ returns, it will be too late for you as well. Some people think that the world will end on 12/12/12. We have just read from God’s word that no man knows the hour. But I will tell you my friend that God’s return will come. Some will be ready, just as Noah was. Some will continue to do things the way they want and when he comes they will be left. I pray that you will look to God, the one that created and controls everything and trust in his Son, Jesus.

Local youths plan Creative workshop set 30-Hour Famine The Underground, a youth group at Russell Road Church, will take part in World Vision’s 30Hour Famine this weekend to highlight the problem of world hunger. The local youths will join the efforts of hundreds of thousands of young people all over the nation who will set aside the usual stuff that fills their daily lives. Instead, they will do World Vision’s 30-Hour Famine because they are “Love Hungry” — the theme for this year. By going without food, they get a taste of what the world’s poorest children and families face every day. Prior to the event weekend, students raise funds with the knowledge that every $30 they raise can help feed and care for a child for a month. Groups are also encouraged to perform hands-on service projects during the weekend in order to make a difference in their own communities. As part of the famine, a fast will begin at noon.
Participants will meet at Russell Road Church Friday at 6 p.m. The events taking place Friday night start with building cardboard houses that teens will be sleeping in overnight. Teens will also experience worship and hearing from one of the keynote speakers. Teens will also participate in Prayer Watch, where teens will be taking turns praying for hungry children in our city, nation and around the world. Through the night teens will experience hunger and homelessness. On Saturday, participants will be hearing from organizations who are helping to feed the homeless and to fight hunger. Participants also
will be serving those in need in this community. The fast will end at 6 p.m. and participants will all feast together. Underground’s The goal is to raise more than $7,000 to help feed hungry children in Haiti. Since 1992, 30-Hour Famine has raised close to $140 million. World Vision works in nearly 100 countries, helping approximately 100 million people every year. Information More about The Underground’s 30-Hour Famine can be found at www.russellroad.com/30hour. World Vision is a Christian humanitarian organization dedicated to working with children, families and their communities worldwide to reach their full potential by tackling the causes of poverty and injustice. World Vision serves all people, regardless of religion, race, ethnicity, or gender. For more information, visit www.worldvision.org.
“Transformation Through Creativity” is the theme for this year’s Art & Spirit creative workshop sponsored by the Art Ministry at Sidney First United Methodist Church. The event will take place March 3 from 8 a.m. to 12:30 p.m at the 230 E. Poplar St. campus. Art & Spirit is designed to have participants experience Jesus in a creative way through several creative and spiritual workshops. Some of these workshops include beading, creating icons, creating masks, meditation and needlework. Sessions are led by local artists.
Participants are invited to enrich their soul, body and mind as they engage in creativity, organizers said. The event is open to anyone ages 8 and older. The cost is $20, which includes all supplies, a light breakfast and a chance to win door prizes donated by local artists. Call the church office at 492-9136 or register on-

Archbishop calls for prayer, fasting As Christians around the world prepared to observe the penitential season of Lent, Cincinnati Archbishop Dennis Schnurr urged Catholics and people of all faiths to pray and fast during this period for religious liberty. “The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has issued regulations that would force almost all employers, in-
cluding Catholic institutions and business owners, to pay for employees’ health coverage that includes abortion-inducing drugs, sterilization and contraception,” he said in a Lenten podcast recorded for the archdiocese website, www.CatholicCincinnati.org. “The church has a mission to protect the life and dignity of all people,
which includes the safeguarding of their sacred human rights. ... Please join me in praying and fasting this Lent that wisdom and justice may prevail and religious liberty may be restored in our country.” At noon on Ash Wednesday, as the church bells rang, Catholics were asked to pray “A Prayer for Religious Liberty.”

Anna Village Council honors former member ANNA — The Anna Village Council honored a former council member and discussed the first annual Flying Angel 5K run in the village and heard about other updates and repairs in the village. Former Anna Village Council member Carol Harshbarger was honored by council members for her years of service to the council. Anna Mayor Robert Anderson read a proclamation honoring Harshbarger during the meeting. Harshbarger was not able to run for re-election in the November election since her paperwork was not properly filled out before being submitted to the Shelby County Board of Elections. She was replaced by Kurt Ehemann, who was appointed by council members recently. Anderson also honored the Anna Middle and High School chapter of Family, Career and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA) and presented a proclamation to Victoria Bruns, who represented the organization. The proclamation recognized all of the community projects that are done by the members of the Anna chapter of FCCLA and declared the week of Feb. 12-18 as FCCLA week in Anna. Council members heard about plans for the first annual Flying Angel 5K run to be held in the village. Kelly Berner, who is working on the 5K run, ask for the council’s approval for the run. The run is scheduled for March 24 from 8 to 10:30
a.m. Since no streets will be blocked off, the council does not need to approve the run. Village Administrator Nancy Benroth gave a report to the council and told them that they were misinformed about the redistricting of the village for voting purposes. Benroth reported that the village will not be divided by townships, but the entire village will be in either the 84th or 85th District. Benroth asked council members to review a job description for an IT (information technology) specialist for the village. Benroth will be taking an online course in website design. The course will cost $99. She attended a training session including a pesticide conference in Dayton on Feb. 15. There was an ornamental pesticide test that will certify Benroth to spray for bag worms. Benroth will be attending a free leak detection seminar on Feb. 29. Benroth reported that there have been repairs in the village including the water plant roof being replaced and the new storm sewer line being installed on North Linden Street. She told council members that the tree in front of US Bank is dead and needs to be replaced. As trees need to be replaced, they will be replaced by nofruit cherry, pear or plum trees. Anderson gave his report to council and stated

Anderson stated that Jon Hulsmeyer has been named as the Shelby County Commissioner’s representative to the Shelby County Regional Planning Commission. Anderson and Benroth attended a conference where they met with representatives of the Brewer-Garrett Company regarding energy conservation at the sewer plant by using methane produced by the plant to run motors and lights. Anderson and Benroth will be meeting with company representatives again to get an estimate for the cost of that project. Fire Chief Tim Bender presented the 2011 annual Anna Fire Department report.

Nerves and excitement
Being a big buddie
BY: COLLEEN KINNINGER
BY: MADILYN BROWN
Lehman’s production of Crazy for You is fast approaching. There are many people putting in a lot of time at rehearsals and at home memorizing songs, dances, and lines. Two of the people who are probably putting in the most time are the stars of the show, senior Emily Pax and junior Dan Davis. Pax stars as Polly Baker, the postmistress in Deadrock, Nevada whose father is the owner of the Gaiety Theater. Davis plays Bobby Child, the son of a banker who is sent to Deadrock to foreclose on the theater. He falls in love with Polly at first sight. After hearing the news that they had lead roles, both Pax and Davis were excited. “The first thing I thought was ‘Wow, that’s cool’ and then when it sunk in, I got even more excited,” said Pax. Davis added, “I was very, very happy and shocked. Never in a thousand years did I think I would get the lead role in a play.” Davis and Pax are both Lehman stage veterans, as Pax is entering her fifth show and Davis in his second. However, there are some fears that might never go away. “The thing I’m most nervous about is all of the tap dances I have to learn and remembering all of my lines once opening night rolls around,” said Davis. “I’m most nervous about missing a line or the words in a song,” commented Pax. Despite all of the fears, there are some things to be very excited about. Davis is excited about a particular scene: “There is a certain scene where Zangler (another character) and I mirror each other, so it should be fun to practice that.” Pax is more excited for the whole show to be put together. “I can’t wait until everything gets put together and we can run through the entire thing. That’s always a good feeling because I feel like we accomplished a lot,” she commented. Being in the musical brings about a sense of people who love to sing and dance. However, there are many things that make the musical a great experience. Pax said, “My favorite part of being in the musical is all of the people. The people in it are awesome!” Davis added, “Just being able to sing, knowing all eyes are on you, and showing everyone what gifts we’ve been blessed with is my favorite part of the musical.” As the day of opening night draws closer and closer, these two will be working as hard as ever to help the rest of the cast put on a great production.
Recently Jennifer Bruns, an employee at the non-profit organization Big Brothers, Big Sisters came to Lehman Catholic High School for Opportunity Day. She spoke to us about the programs this organization does for the community and how we can get involved. This was very exciting for me since my mom, Lisa Brown, is the Executive Director of this company. Being involved in Big Brothers Big Sisters has been a big part of my life for many years. This organization helps kids in the community who do not have the best lives at home. Being around this for so long and seeing it hands-on has really made me grateful for everything I have. I love participating in the fundraisers and helping out any way I can. Big Buddies is a mentoring program in which Lehman students and students from other schools can participate. This program gives teenagers the chance to interact with their ‘littles” and help them out with their homework, keep them entertained and have fun. Having these opportunities come through Lehman is almost like the best of both worlds. I get the chance to be involved through my school, and I am also getting the benefit of helping out someone less fortunate. The best part is that I can do all this with the inspiration of my mom to show me how to be an inspiration to little kids.
Swimming to success BY: MEGHAN BENNETT Junior Ethan Jock has much to be proud of this year. Not only is he an exceptional student, classmate, and friend, but Ethan is also exceptional when it comes to gliding through the water. He got his start in swimming at the age of 12 and comments that he was “sort of a late starter”. He could have fooled us. His natural talent has led him to develop into a crucial part of Lehman’s swim program. He has also been a member of the Sidney YMCA’s swim team, the Sting Rays. Ethan participates in any event in which the coaches need him, but his favorite event is the 100m freestyle because it is fast and requires endurance. Currently, Ethan holds the 50m fly record with a time of 26.4 seconds. This swim qualified him for the finals of the Southwest Classic. This swim meet is held at seven different sites and has over 2,000 swimmers participating in it. “Swimming is an awesome sport, keeps me in shape, and the team is like my second family,” said Ethan. Currently, Ethan has qualified for district competition and is looking to get a state berth. Coach Matthew Normile has much confidence in Ethan’s abilities. “Ethan is a competitor who definitely rises to the occasion. When we need a big swim in an important meet, we can always count on him to come through for us.” We wish Ethan the best of luck! You make Lehman High School proud!
New concept: great performances and art BY: JULIA HARRELSON The first annual Arts Gala concert will be on Saturday, February 25. It will not only showcase the talents of Lehman’s Music Department, but also the visual arts, displaying many paintings and creations from student artists. The evening will start with a dinner catered by the Spot restaurant and homemade desserts. The Concert Band will perform as will the Cavalier and Concert Choirs who will be performing together, and the Lehman Limelighters, who will perform the same show they use for contests. There will also be solos, duets and ensembles. Many of the performers will play or sing the songs they used for the OMEA Solo and Ensemble Adjudicated Event. Others will sing more “popular” hits. The concert will take place in the Jerry Delong gymnasium decorated for the occasion. Patrons will sit at tables. The Arts Gala concert is combing the Dessert Concert and the Mid-Winter Band Concert of years past. There is an admission cost of $10 to cover the dinner…. but it is worth it to get a night full of great entertainment. Contact Elaine Schweller-Snyder at 937-498-1161 ext. 132 for more information.

HE’S A STATE CHAMP Botkins’ Logan Bauer wins D-II diving title BY KEN BARHORST kbarhorst@sdnccg.com BOTKINS — Botkins diver Logan Bauer saved his most difficult dives for last. His biggest competition did not, and that made the difference in the Division II State Diving Meet Wednesday in Canton. Bauer, the runner-up last year in the state meet, came from as many as 29 points down late in the competition to capture the state champioship by the slimmest of margins, 0.25 points. Bauer, his coach Heather Thaman, his parents and fans had some nail-biting moments. He was No. 9 out of 24 divers in the order, and his main competitor, the only one with a chance to beat him, dove 23rd. That meant that after Bauer reclaimed the lead on his final dive, a forward 11/2 with two twists, he and his contingent had to wait until Alex Gonzales of Canton Central Catholic performed his final dive. As Bauer put it later, Gonzales “nailed it.” But while Bauer’s final dive had a degree of difficulty of 2.6, Gonzales’ final dive had a DD of 2.2. “If he had nailed a dive that was higher in degree of difficulty, Logan would not have been able to hold him off,” said Thaman. But that’s all part of it. Out of the 11 dives a competitor performs, four are mandatory dives. The rest are what the diver feels he’s good at. And in the case of Bauer, he

BOTKINS HIGH School diver Logan Bauer clutches his championship medal upon returning home Wednesday after winning the Division II state title in the State Diving Meet in Canton. Bauer was runner-up in the state meet last year. saved his strength for the late round. “I feel I’m very good at twisting,” Bauer said. “I did three twists out of 11 dives and I tried to stack up the points with those. “It was crazy toward the end,” he added. “It was really intense.” Bauer finished with 474.05 points and Gonzales had 473.80. “I was standing around the cool-down area with some of the other competitors and they all seemed to be pulling for me,” said Bauer. “They were all rooting
me on. After Alex’s final dive, we all just stood there and watched the scoreboard. When I saw I had won, I couldn’t believe it. I still can’t put it into words.” Bauer went into the meet as the No. 1 seed, but also in the competition was the swimmer who beat him out for the state championship last year, Danny Morehead of Cincinnati Christian Academy. However, going down the stretch, Bauer and his coach both knew that Morehead was out of the running Bauer was third after the
first dive, but on his second dive of the day, he scored 54.60 points with a forward 21/2 somersault, and that put him in the lead. He maintained the lead after the third dive, but after the next two dives, which ended the first round, he was down by 10 with 215.80 points. After his seventh dive, he trailed Gonzales by 29 points, but made up ground on his eighth dive and trailed by 15 after the second round with 329.20. See BAUER/Page 14
Another 70-point win Billing gets 1,000th point BY MATT ZIRCHER TIPP CITY — Another game, another 70-point win for the Anna Lady Rockets. After winning 100-30 over Dixie in its tournament opener, Anna pulled off the feat again here Wednesday night, jumping out to a 32-5 lead after a quarter en route to an 87-17 rout of the Dunbar Lady Wolverines in the Division III sectional semifinals. Anna, now 22-0 on the season, faces 12-9 Tri-County North, a 45-43 winner over West Liberty-Salem in the other semifinal, in the sectional finals Saturday at 3:30. The Rockets scored the first 10 points of the game just 1:34 into the contest and after Desmond Jewett got Dunbar on the scoreboard at the 5:55 mark, Anna tallied the next 14 points to go up 24-2. “We knew they would be athletic and that there would be a lot of one-on-one when they had the ball,” said Anna coach Jack Billing. “We wanted to get after them, force turnovers, and try to put the game away early with our intensity.” The margin continued to grow in the second quarter as a Natalie Billing foul shot with 2:39 left made it 51-9. It also gave the junior forward 1000 points for her career.

“It’s a great accomplishment, but we don’t put much stock into individual things,” said Billing. “She has a shot of being part of 100 wins during her career (currently at 70) and that means more to us than reaching 1000 points as a junior. She’s been fortunate to play on some great teams and win a state title.” “Her teammates knew that she was 22 points away, so they were looking for her in the first half,” added Billing. “The kids have been so unselfish tonight and throughout the last couple of seasons.” Anna hit 24 of 42 shots in the first half for 57 percent while the Wolverines were five of 23 for 22 percent. The Rocket offense slowed a bit in the second half with 32 points, but the defense was outstanding, holding Dunbar to only four points. Anna connected on 14 of 23 shots over the final two periods for 61 percent to end up at 59 percent overall. The Rockets led 60-10 in points in the paint, and 51-4 in points off of turnovers. Billing finished with 26, 22 coming in the first half, and now has 1004 points for her career.

Russia edges JC in overtime Jackson Center rallied furiously to tie and force overtime against a Russia team that led the entire way, but the Lady Raiders got it done in overtime to win 41-37 in the second D-IV sectional semifinal Wednesday at Sidney. Jackson, which made history Saturday by beating Triad, the first time a No. 1 seed had ever lost in the first round at Sidney, finishes 8-14. Russia used its excellent size to force Jackson Center outside, and when the Lady Tigers had trouble finding the bucket, the Lady Raiders took control. After a 5-4 deficit following the opening period, Russia opened up a 16-7 lead, settling for a 16-9 margin at the half. It was still five after three periods, but the

Lady Tigers got a big three from Courtney Zimpfer and a two from Hannah Meyer to cut the lead to one. And when Brooke Richard got a steal and a layup, Jackson was on top 30-29. But Russia’s Shana Meyer grabbed a loose ball under the bucket and scored, then hit a free throw to put Russia back up by two. Richard hit two free throws to make it 32-32 and that’s how regulation ended. In the overtime, Russia’s Meyer and Jackson’s Brittany Foster traded free throws, but Russia took the lead for good on a follow by Kylie Wilson, making it 36-34. Richard was fouled and missed her first free throw, then Jackson was called for a lane violation on the second. Camille Puthoff then sank two free throws with 17 seconds left to ice it.

From Page 13 and block everything else out,” he said. “I was a little stressed because I went in as the No. 1 seed, and I wasn’t having the greatest meet. I just started to focus on myself. I just told myself I had to nail those last three dives.” And he did. “It was amazing to watch him, especially when he got behind,” said Thaman. “To see him so determined, knowing just what he had to do.” Considering this is only Bauer’s second year
of high school diving, he had quite a career. Not only was he state runner-up last year, he made a clean sweep this year, winning the sectional, district and state meets. Bauer’s background was actually in acrobatics and gymnastics, which he did for 11 years. He’s been diving for only four years all together. He was already generating some interest from college diving coaches, and he expects that to amp up a bit now
that he’s added a state title. “I’m expecting a lot more,” he said. “But I really don’t know where I want to go. I do know I want to be a college diver, though.” He’ll no doubt have plenty of offers, too. Bauer and his family were met by the Botkins emergency personnel as soon as they exited Interstate 75 late Wednesday afternoon, and they escorted the returning hometown hero around the community.
Bruce reports to camp 16 pounds slimmer GOODYEAR, Ariz. (AP) — Cincinnati Reds fans will see less of Jay Bruce this season. The outfielder has reported to camp weighing 16 pounds less than at the end of last season. It’s a noticeable change for the All-Star, who thinks the slimmer body will make him faster and help him get through the season better. “I just felt I wasn’t getting any thinner,” Bruce said on Wednesday. “I thought that 15 or 16 fewer pounds on my body would help me get through the season. I have never been a speed guy but this might make me a little faster.” Though he made the All-Star team last sea-
son, his batting average, slugging percentage and on-base percentage dropped slightly. Bruce batted .256 with 32 homers and 97 RBIs in 157 games. He stole eight bases, but was caught trying to steal seven times. The 24-year-old outfielder started losing weight in January, dropping the 16 pounds in six weeks through workouts that involved more running. He also changed his diet. “I cut down on grains, and the obvious things ‚Äî no fried foods, no soft drinks,” he said. “I will eat more grains now because I need the carbs.” Manager Dusty Baker thinks that Bruce, who
is down from his weight of 226 at the start of last season, might be able to get through his swing faster with a slimmeddown physique. “When your body changes, you have to adjust a little,” Baker said. “Our bodies change as we get older.” Bruce has been hitting in a batting cage at home in Texas. He’s eager to see how his swing feels when he faces Reds pitchers during spring training. Position players are scheduled to report and hold their first workout on Friday. “I’m just as strong as I was,” Bruce said. “We will see when I face live pitching.”

during a spring training baseball workout in Goodyear, Ariz., Tuesday.
Inspired Indians ready to contend in 2012 GOODYEAR, Ariz. (AP) — On a cinderblock wall adjacent to the front entrance of the Indians’ training complex, a large script “I’’ has been replaced this year by a block “C,” which, of course, stands for Cleveland. The Indians would like to believe it also symbolizes that they’re contenders. However, just being in the hunt or near the top won’t be enough for closer Chris Perez, sporting a full beard and longer hair this spring. He’s done with rebuilding, second-place and any talk about waiting until next year. Perez wants more for the Indians in 2012. “We were contending last year,” he said Tuesday. “Winning is the word this year. I don’t want to compete. I want to win.” Leave it to Perez to bring the early heat during the first week of training camp under the getting-warmer-bythe-day Arizona sun. The right-hander had 36 saves last season, but he couldn’t do anything to stop the Indians’ late-season slide in the standings. Cleveland’s surprising 30-15 start was followed by an equally abrupt collapse as an avalanche of injuries overwhelmed the Indians in September. A summer of fun at Progressive Field became a bummer. The Indians finished 15 games behind AL Central-champion Detroit Tigers, the odds-on favorites to win the division again this year after adding slugger Prince Fielder to an already potent lineup. Looking back on 2011, Perez doesn’t remember the start as much as the finish. “It was fun last year while it lasted, but at the end of the year I had a bitter taste in my month,” Perez said before going outside to play catch. “After the deadline, the Tigers kind of took off and played at another level and we went the other way, but they weren’t a better team than us in the first
half. This year, we don’t have any excuses.” The Indians will hold their first official workout for pitchers and catchers Wednesday, with the full squad set to take the field for the first time Saturday. On Tuesday, players, coaches and manager underwent physicals. “Lots of blood,” manager Manny Acta said with a smile after having some drained for tests. “Maybe as the manager you have to lead by example giving away that much. I thought it was a lot.” The Indians certainly needed a lot of medical attention last season. It seemed hardly a day went by without one of Cleveland’s players being hurt. The Indians lost their entire starting outfield to injuries, had two starting pitchers go down, used the disabled list 22 times (second most in the AL) and had their four most established hitters — Shin-Soo Choo, Travis Hafner, Grady Sizemore and Asdrubal Cabrera — in the same lineup just 17 times all season. “You try to do as much as you can to prevent them,” Perez said, “but we had so many that were just freak injuries. There’s nothing you can do.” The Indians are hoping both Sizemore, who re-signed with the club as a free agent, and Choo can bounce back and have productive years. Choo seemed to have rebounded from a slow start in 2011 when he was hit on the thumb with a pitch, needed surgery and missed six weeks. The club’s best player in 2010, Choo played in just 85 games. With so many key players sidelined, the Indians were forced to dip into their minor leagues and bring up players who weren’t ready for pennant-race pressure. The club’s lack of quality depth was exposed. So, to guard against the problem recurring, Indians general manager Chris Antonetti brought in 22 non-roster invitees
into camp, including 13 on minor league contracts. With 62 players on the spring roster, the team ran out of lockers in the clubhouse, forcing a few players to double up. While there may be an abundance of players, there are only a few open jobs. Four spots in the rotation are taken by Ubaldo Jimenez, Justin Masterson, Derek Lowe and Josh Tomlin, with the fifth open because of legal problems involving the pitcher formerly known as Fausto Carmona, arrested in the Dominican Republic on false identity charges. Carmona, whose real name is Roberto Hernandez, is on baseball’s restricted list. The Indians don’t know when — or if — he will be with them this season. Acta has to fill two bullpen openings, pick between Jack Hannahan and Lonnie Chisenhall as his starting third baseman and decide on some bench roles. It’s a strong sign of progress, and a credit to Cleveland’s front office, that the Indians don’t have a long list of issues to address this spring — Acta’s third. Acta believes the Indians have championship pieces. It’s now up to him to see that they’re put together properly. “We have some talent here,” he said. “Our focus is to win. When you are in a rebuilding process, you can see it from year to year. We’re talented. It’s not a fluke when you
spend as long as we did in first place.” Perez is counting on the Indians getting back to the top this year. And this time, he thinks they can stay there. After all, the Tigers haven’t won anything yet. “Last year, we were right in it until the end, until September,” he said. “Who knows? If we keep our horses out there all season, and our offense together all season, and our bullpen is going to be as strong like it was last year, and Derek Lowe has a bounce-back year, and Justin Masterson takes step and another Ubaldo has a full year with us? We’re looking all right. “And if it doesn’t, we weren’t supposed to win anyway, right?” Notes: INF Cristian Guzman took a physical and said he may sign a minor league deal with the Indians on Wednesday. The 33-year-old sat out last season with a sore right shoulder. He played in Washington for Acta, who invited the two-time All-Star to camp. “We have a good relationship,” said Guzman, who played for Minnesota from 19992004. “He called me. I told him I wanted to keep playing and he said to come here and try to help the team. So I said, ‘OK, I’ll go.’” ... The Indians traded LHP Kelvin De La Cruz to Texas for cash. De La Cruz was designated on Feb. 13 to make room for 1B Casey Kotchman. De La Cruz went 5-6 with a 4.19 ERA for Double-A Akron in 2011.

1973. Two years later they started Faith Fellowship, which still exists on West Avenue. After 14 years in Sidney, the Lamberts accepted a church assignment in Iowa. They then served in the ministry for a number of other churches, returning to Sidney for short periods of time, until they finally came home to Sidney for good in 2005. Three of their four children, James, Cindy and Linda, live in the area. The fourth, Timothy, lives in Indiana.
Still there The Lamberts were resting from full-time ministry and attending the local Wesleyan Church when they heard that there was a need for someone to help with the St. Marys Wesleyan Church. They volunteered to fill in for a month in 2006 and are still there today, commuting from Sidney for their Sunday morning and Wednesday evening services each week. Life for the Lamberts could never be described as retirement. While he loved to have time to read and seek the Lord, she delights in having her prayer time with the Lord. She has had some medical issues, but is a fervent faith warrior who trusts her God to heal her. A few years ago she had some issues with her heart and underwent some procedures. But the following Sunday she was back in church in St. Marys. When one elder saw her come through the door that morning, he proclaimed, “Here comes victory.” Besides her ministry, she has authored some books and developed as

an artist. She has books on Amazon and had exhibits for her artwork. But her main thrust is still ministry. She smiles as she talks about how youngsters in her neighborhood come to her for prayer when they have needs. Her life’s focus now is what it always has been, ministry. She smiles as she proclaims, “We have a purpose, to make a difference for such a time as this.” He also has a hobby. He loves carving horses but hasn’t had much time for that despite being 79 years old. The pair keep busy making hospital calls, doing funerals and weddings. And they have loved taking their prayer walks.
More work As if being pastor of a church is not enough, the Lamberts keep looking for more work. They have their personal ministry, His Agape Love Mission. They believe that their 50 years of experience in the ministry is a valuable resource for the church today. They take seriously the admonition to minister found in 1 Peter 5:13: “The elders which are among you I exhort … Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind; Neither as being lords over God’s heritage, but being examples to the flock.” The Lamberts continue looking for open doors to minister. His doctorate of divinity is evidence of his wisdom
and biblical knowledge. He often preaches without preparation or Bible because he has memorized so much Scripture. And others have commented about his strong Bible teaching anointing. She has a prophetic anointing and has developed a reputation for being sensitive to spiritual leadings and bringing messages from God. A testimony to that special gifting is her writing, which is a powerful spiritual gift.
Rusting out They don’t believe in rusting out. They want to be alive and active in their calling as long as they have breath. They want to keep blessing people and ministering until that moment described in Revelations 4:1-2: “After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter. And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne. If you happen to see the Lamberts, don’t expect to see them looking backward on their impressive history; look for them seeking open doors to keep doing what they have been doing for more than half a century. For them, old age is not an enemy that binds them to their past; it is an opportunity to share the treasuries of their life to help others have a better life.

Two women recall 90-year friendship BY SHARON SEMANIE editorial@dailycall.com PIQUA — Unlike the old Girl Scout campfire song whose lyrics are, “Make new friends, but keep the old ... one is silver, the other is gold,” Virginia Burnside and Winona Valentine share a platinum friendship that spans 90-plus years and remains as strong a bond as the day they met. Burnside, whose 100th birthday is approaching on Aug. 4, and Valentine, at 97, have shared many memories over the past nine decades, including their days in a one-room schoolhouse, high school graduations, marriages, child rearing, the deaths of their spouses and sub“girls out” sequent lunches and movies. So it’s only appropriate that all these years later, they reside just doors apart at Piqua Manor where they can visit on a daily basis only confined by their mobility in wheelchairs.

Another sister, Helen, died at 18 years of age from a strep infection prior to the introduction of penicillin.
Selling beans “I actually started at 10 years of age,” she interjected. “My mother raised lima beans, which we shelled. I’d walk down Broadway with a wagon filled with beans selling them” along the way. She later was employed by J.C. Penney for 30 years and worked as an office supervisor. The couple raised two daughters, Sandi Cooper, of Springfield, and Thelma Wells, of Florida. They have eight grandchildren, 13 great-grandchildren and two g r e a t - g r e a t Lloyd grandchildren. Valentine died in 1990.
Valentine entered Piqua Manor in June 2011, where she was reunited with Burnside. Today they share the same corridor and live only four rooms apart. Although faced with health issues, Valentine said she’s fortunate to see her friend almost every day. Valentine recalled that both she and Burnside met as neighbors on Lockington Road when they were 8 and 6 years of age, respectively. Both attended a brick oneroom schoolhouse off Hetzler Road “where we pumped water outdoors when we wanted to get a drink.” Because of their two-year age difference, they would write letters to each other once Burnside entered high school, leaving her best friend behind at Springcreek School. After Valentine reached high school age, both she and Burnside began “doing things together” such as going dancing at a hall on the grounds of the former Hallow swimming pool or spending Sunday afternoons after church — Burnside is Baptist and Valentine is United Presbyterian — and family dinners meeting with friends on the square in downtown Piqua.
‘All kinds of fun’
“We had all kinds of fun,” added Valentine, fondly looking back to her childhood when the two played with their dollhouses or enjoyed games such as hopscotch, jacks and mumblety-peg, an outdoor game played by school children with pocket knives. Although years passed as both married and raised families, the women kept in touch by phone, writing letters or sending Christmas cards to each other. Their happiest times, suggested Valentine, were years unteering some time to later when they would the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute — should call Julie Mitchell, UD Special Programs and Continuing Education, (937) 229-2605.

Secret When asked the secret to the longevity of their friendship, Valentine paused briefly and responded, “It’s hard to describe. It’s important that you care. So many people nowadays don’t give it (friendship) a chance. They should thank the Lord for the life they have including family and friends. It (friendship with Burnside) has been just great.” With that being said, Valentine gently put her arm around Burnside, who had quietly dozed off during the interview. “It’s too bad,” she whispered. “She’s sleeping today.” And, as quietly as they appeared, family members wheeled their loved ones back to their rooms just doors apart after all these years.

Appalachia’s aging population rising fast BY DAN SEWELL Associated Press MOUNT ORAB (AP) — It’s winter, so Donna Robirds puts on two sweaters in the morning and keeps heavy blankets handy as she sets her thermostat low — 60 at night — and bundles up to keep her utility bill down. At 67, with a fixed income and a $563-amonth mortgage, she lives on a tight budget. Food stamps help the retired state employee stretch her budget in this Appalachian village. So has the mild winter. “We haven’t had the extreme cold, so it hasn’t been too bad,” she said. “I really need to watch my money. It’s going to be a struggle.”
Daily battle Robirds’ daily battle is being played out across the Appalachian region, which stretches through 13 states from northeastern Mississippi to southern New York. A part of the country that has long lagged behind the rest of the U.S. economically finds itself on the leading edge of a national trend: The number of Americans 65 and older is increasing, and many are struggling as government services are being cut in a rough economy. Nationally, with the aging of the baby boom generation, people 65 and over are expected to account for 1 of every 5 Americans by 2030. Some places in Appalachia have already reached that benchmark, such as southern Ohio’s Brown County, where Robirds lives. “These counties are like the canary in the coal mine,” said Suzanne Kunkel, who heads the

IN THIS photo taken Jan. 19, Donna Robirds poses in her kitchen at her home in Mount Orab. At age 67, on a fixed income and still paying a mortgage on the manufactured home whose value has fallen in the nation’s housing market crisis, she lives on a tight budget.

health care. Peggy Basham, 74, of Summersville, W.Va., is worried. “I think most everybody in the area is,” she said. “You’ve got baby boomers coming on. You’ve got so many seniors. … Nothing stretches very far.” Basham helps craft quilts that are sold to support the Nicholas County Senior Citizens Center. The senior center feeds 500 people per month, and Basham said more would come if only they had transportation from their mountain homes. She said she sees elderly people regularly forced to choose whether to pay for prescription drugs, heat their homes or buy groceries. West Virginia officials say their state has the country’s highest concentration of older residents than anywhere but Florida. Sixteen percent of West Virginia’s population is 65 or older, compared with 17.3 percent in Florida, according to census figures.
Don’t move And unlike those who flock to Florida’s retirement villages and condominium complexes, aging people in West Virginia and elsewhere in Appalachia have long been less likely to move, often because they can’t afford it or they have a strong attachment to home. Robirds doesn’t have much choice: Her home’s market value declined in the nation’s housing crisis, and she is years away from paying it off. But the mother of three doesn’t want to move anyway. “I want to have a place for my grandchildren to stay when they visit,” she said, “and to be able to have my pas-
sion for gardening.” Robirds got some vital help from Cincinnatibased People Working Cooperatively, a nonprofit organization that sent workers before winter to add insulation, clean vents, service her furnace, replace her refrigerator and perform other maintenance. The organization, dedicated to helping poor people stay in their homes in the Ohio-Kentucky-Indiana region, is seeing demand for its services rocket over the last two years, from 40,000 calls for help in 2009 to 66,000 in 2011, according to president Jock Pitts.
Ohio’s 88 counties was 60 or older; in 2010, that was true of 16 counties, most of them in Appalachia. By 2020, it’s projected to be 76 counties — with onethird of the population in six of those counties 60 or older. Other community efforts to keep senior citizens in their homes include The Village concept, in which residents and volunteers help provide transportation, handyman work and home health care. Pioneered in Boston in the last decade, it is spreading into such states as North Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia.
Help
The state of West Virginia, meanwhile, has designated six “retirement zones” where senior citizens can get access to affordable housing, health care, education, culture and recreation. “We need to be talking about it and working together to find solutions,” said Thomas Campbell, a state legislator from Greenbrier, W.Va., whose widowed mother is 89. “People in Appalachia tend to want to stay in their homes and have their family as close to them as they can, and I don’t think those are bad things. I think we’ll find a way to do it.” ___ Press Associated writer John Raby in Charleston, W.Va., contributed. ___ Contact the reporter at http://www.twitter.com/ dansewell
Those in charge of dealing with the surging numbers of elderly people say such communitybased help and other innovative solutions are especially important in struggling areas such as Appalachia. “Given our state’s limited resources — we’re not going to hit the lottery — we are changing, in Ohio, our approach,” said Bonnie Kantor-Burman, head of Ohio’s Department of Aging. “There is a limit to what the state and federal governments are going to be able to do.” She sounds the alarm by often displaying a set of color-coded maps produced through Miami’s Gerontology Center that show the projected aging of the population in eyepopping detail: In 2000, about one-fourth of the population in three of

Talk to your parents about their fears, needs, priorities, and wishes as they get older.
Have the name and phone number of your parents’ doctor, lawyer, pharmacist, hair dresser, grocery store, cab service, and seniors’ transportation service in case you should need to call them. Make a few calls to find out about seniors’ services in your parents’ community, such as meal delivery services, homemaker programs, adult daycare, in-home healthcare, meal companion services, pet therapy programs, etc. If you live far away, make sure that you have the name of a neighbor, friend, or volunteer who can check in on your parents if there’s trouble. Make sure their home is safe. Install smoke detectors that work, install anti-scald devices, fall-proof the house, and make sure there is adequate lighting.

Post important phone numbers, including emergency numbers, where they can easily see them. Purchase a medical alert system so that your parents can push a button for help from anywhere in the house.
Make their home user-friendly. Use lever-style faucets and cabinet handles, raise toilet seats, install handrails and grab bars, and so on.
Visit seniors’ housing facilities so you know what’s out there, and if necessary, put your parents on waiting lists. Make sure your parents have a will and power of attorney that is up to date in order to avoid any future problems.
Call them every day or two just to say hello and to see if everything’s alright. If you can’t do this, have family, friends, or volunteers alternate calls or visits.
Encourage them to stay active. Look into bowling leagues, bingo nights, book clubs for seniors, dance lessons for the elderly, travel tours, seniors’ associations, etc. They will thank you for it.
If you feel that your parents’ driving skills have become questionable, perhaps it’s time to make some changes. Start by elevating their pedals, raising their seat, and installing larger mirrors. Have their eyesight checked by an ophthalmologist and talk to their pharmacist and doctor about their prescriptions to see if their medication could be affecting their driving skills. Look into seniors’ driving safety courses.

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 and eventually fake 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.
