CINCINNATI (AP) — Leaders of at least some of Ohio’s financially struggling school districts are rallying behind Gov. John Kasich’s funding plan, which has drawn critics who say it doesn’t do enough for poor districts. A half dozen superintendents from around the state told reporters Friday how their districts would benefit from the Republican governor’s approach. They like funding in the plan that’s targeted for the poorest students and for special-needs students, such as those with disabilities or those learning English as their second language. “We feel the formula is fair,

and there is a rhyme and reason for why it is what it is,” said John Scheu, superintendent of Sidney City Schools in western Ohio. “We’re very supportive of the plan,” said Ron Sexton, superintendent of Wilmington City Schools, in a southwest Ohio community hard hit during the recession by the loss of thousands of jobs when DHL Express ended delivery operations at its air park. Sexton said property values plummeted as unemployment jumped, eroding the schools’ tax base. Wilmington’s state funding would rise by 20 percent in estimates for Kasich’s proposal, which Sexton said would be a major help. Kasich this week repeated in his State of the State message that his proposal is student-focused and will help
close Ohio’s long-standing funding inequities while adding $1.2 billion for schools over the next two years. He also proposes a $300 million state fund to reward individual districts with grants for innovation and efficiency. Critics among some education officials and Democratic legislators have challenged Kasich’s description of his plan. They say it doesn’t offset earlier cuts and leaves most schools and many of the state’s poor districts without needed additional money. There also have been complaints about Kasich’s expanded support for charter schools and private school vouchers. The proposal is now before the state Legislature.

Scheu backs funding plan BY TOM MILLHOUSE tmillhouse@civitasmedia With the district in line for a possible increase in funding, Sidney Superintendent John Scheu expressed his support for Gov. John Kasich’s proposed school funding formula a during statewide conference call Friday morning. Scheu participated in a Scheu conference call moderated by Richard Ross, director of the Governor’s Office of 21st Century Edcuation and architect of Kasich’s proposed funding formula. The focus of the conference call was the Achievement Everywhere Plan. According to the governor’s office, the Achievement Everywhere plan will provide an addiational $1.2 billion in new funds over two years for primary and secondary education. Superintendents from several school districts around the state, including Scheu, shared information on the demographics of their districts and the impact of proposed state funding projections. Scheu said if the governor’s budget is approved as proposed, Sidney City Schools would receive a 6.12 percent (about $900,000) increase for 2014 and $500,000 increase for 2015. “That’s a lot different See SCHEU/Page 5A
Lighter sentences result of law change BY KATHY LEESE
For more on today in history, turn to Page 7A.
The law resulting from Ohio House Bill 86 of the 129th General Assembly has changed sentencing practices to reduce prison populations, and one local law enforcement official said it has taken the “teeth” out of the law. It also affects how local judges may carry out sentencings. Shelby County Common Pleas Court Judge James Stevenson says the law, effective since Sept. 30, 2011, has made sentencing an individual “more involved and complicated.” The 200-page bill was meant to address the prison population and changed the way judges can sentence a defendant. It means that those found guilty of many fourth and fifth de-

gree felonies will likely never serve time in prison, but will be given community control sanctions. Stevenson said he understands the public’s frustration. “I have seen a newspaper story or a TV news report and my knee-jerk reaction has been, ‘How could the judge have done that?’ When that happens, I have to remind myself that a judge has a lot more information about the case than can be developed in a newspaper article or a couple of minutes TV news report. I have to trust that the judge did what he did based on a lot more information than I have available to me as a member of the public.” “H.B. 86 discourages consecutive sentencing,” StevenSee H.B. 86/Page 11A

The art of choosing a good restaurant When you decide to dine out, it’s important to choose the right restaurant according to your taste. Choosing well will allow you to have an enjoyable outing that meets your expectations. A pub and its lively atmosphere is the ideal place to enjoy a good meal. Loud music or the sound of televised sports events will mean you can have lively conversations without disturbing the other customers. For a romantic evening, or for serious conversations, a restaurant with a quieter atmosphere and filtered lighting would be a more appropriate choice. A FAMILY MEAL If you’re going out with the children, the ideal choice would be a family restaurant with a playroom or some other kind of entertainment, such as placemats to colour. Here you can eat quietly without the children getting impatient. NEW RESTAURANTS Of course it’s always reassuring to choose a wellestablished restaurant that has a good reputation. However, You have to know what kind discovering new restaurants, of atmosphere you’re looking for to which frequently offer an really enjoy your dining experience. innovative culinary experience such as fusion cuisine, vegetarian meals, raw food dishes, etc, can make a nice change. LIMITED BUDGETS Even if you have a limited budget for eating out you’ll always be able to find somewhere that suits your needs. To save money, keep in mind that many restaurants offer weekday specials or menus that can be shared. If you avoid ordering appetizers or aperitifs, it will not only result in a smaller bill but you’ll also be able to eat out more often!

Giving a gift certificate for a restaurant is to give a moment of happiness to the ones we love.
The gift of a good meal No matter what type of food they enjoy, just about everyone has a favourite restaurant that they love for its menu and atmosphere. A gift certificate from a restaurant of choice is always a great idea to please the person you love. The vast majority of eateries offer attractive gift certificates or cards, and even small family-run diners will likely be happy to hand-write a gift certificate upon demand. A restaurant gift certificate is also a thoughtful way to thank a neighbour for helping you with a chore or friends who came out on a Saturday to help you move. It isn’t necessary to give a large amount. Sometimes $20 can make all the difference between a simple meal and a real treat, accompanied by a glass of wine or a dessert. If you’re giving the gift certificate to a person who regularly eats out, you could choose a grillroom, a steak house, or a pub. One original idea is to give a gift certificate from a breakfast restaurant: what luxury, to sleep late and then treat yourself to breakfast out! Everyone loves to spoil themselves with a tasty culinary treat sometimes, especially when it doesn’t cost them a cent. That’s why restaurant gift certificates are so popular: they are the ideal gift for Christmas and other special occasions!

said Friday that Kasich’s school plan and proposed state budget make “fair funding impossible. … This budget shortchanges students and forces many local communities to rely more than ever on local property taxes.” Other superintendents on Friday’s conference call were from Hamilton Local Schools in central Ohio, Lorain in northeast Ohio, and Lancaster and Marietta in southeast Ohio. While Marietta City Schools Superintendent Harry Fleming said the funding plan would help in his district, where the poverty level has risen, he questioned why many districts in the economically struggling Appalachian Ohio region aren’t getting more money. “There is a great deal of concern there about the formula, and how it misses a lot of people who need help,” Fleming said. “I would like to see the governor’s formula tweaked to the point that it would help all districts that are poor, not just some.” Kasich education advisers have said there is a transition period for the school funding formula, with adjustments

for population changes, and that the governor has insisted on guaranteeing that no district would receive reduced base state funding in the near term. “These districts may be flat-funded in the new plan, but that’s far better than the pain that they may have felt under the old formula,” said Richard Ross, an architect of the Kasich plan. Among the outspoken critics of Kasich’s plan has been Franklin City Schools Superintendent Arnol Elam in southwest Ohio, who last week wrote to parents urging them to campaign to make sure Kasich and legislators supporting him aren’t re-elected. He was upset that his working-class district would get no additional money under the plan, while three neighboring wealthier districts would get more. Elam on Thursday settled the Warren County prosecutor’s investigation of him for improper use of public resources for a political campaign by agreeing to pay back the costs of his letter and sending a new one saying he made some inappropriate statements.

Scheu said Sidney district’s demographics put the system in the category of urban, low median income and high poverty. He explained that Sidney is among 102 districts in the state to fall into that category. “We have 60 percent of our students on free or reduced price lunch program,” Scheu said. “That’s really shot up in the last 10 years.” In addition to the high poverty rate, Scheu said another reason why the district is in line for additional funding is the above normal number of students on individual education plans.

Several other superintendents from around the state participating the in the conference call also considered the proposal a step in the right direction. Ross said the proposal is now being studied by the Ohio General Assembly, with a final decision on school funding and other budget issues expected to come by June.

Kasich uses faith in Medicaid expansion bid fact that many dislike the federal law’s mandated coverage and camagainst it paigned months ago. The governor exhorted them in Tuesday’s speech to set politics aside as they weigh their choices. “Put it in your family,” Kasich said. “Put somebody that is in your family who becomes the wayward child. And they come home one day, they can’t get a job. Put it on your doorstep, and you’ll understand how hard it is.” Kasich was raised Catholic and worships regularly in an Anglican church. For more than 20 years, he has met every other Monday with a small group of men to study the Bible. And he has written a book about how the experience has helped him in his search for answers. Even lawmakers who look to their religious beliefs for guidance say there are other factors to consider. State Rep. Robert Sprague, a Republican from Findlay, Ohio, said he does think about taking care of those less fortunate. “In the Bible, Jesus makes mention of this,” he said. But there are other aspects to think about, too, Sprague said, namely whether the federal government will keep its promise to fund Medicaid and the sustainability of the nation’s health care system.
Ex-official of developmental center charged DAYTON (AP) — The former business administrator of a southwest Ohio center for developmentally disabled adults has been charged with stealing more than $400,000 from the center. Montgomery County’s prosecutor says 46-yearold Douglas Carter, of Gahanna, was indicted Friday on 15 felony counts including aggra-
vated theft, theft in office, forgery, money laundering and tampering with government records. Carter was business administrator of a stateoperated center in Huber Heights from 2009 until March 2012. Authorities say Carter took Social Security, disability and pension money from an account for patients, using it for
personal expenses including liposuction. There was no Gahanna telephone listing for Carter. An Ohio Inspector General’s investigation of the alleged theft has resulted in a report recommending procedures for the Ohio Department of Developmental Disabilities to safeguard residents’ funds from potential theft.
Booed soldier joins SSM effort COLUMBUS (AP) — A gay U.S. soldier who was booed during a Republican presidential debate in 2011 has joined the effort to overturn Ohio’s ban on same-sex marriage. Leaders of pro-gaymarriage group FreedomOhio said Friday that Columbus resident Stephen Snyder-Hill will help lead outreach efforts. Snyder-Hill asked the GOP candidates in 2011 if they would reinstate
the ban on openly gay troops. He was booed for the question, which he recorded while deployed in Iraq. FreedomOhio wants to overturn the 2004 state constitutional amendment banning gay marriage. Supporters started collecting signatures last year to place their own constitutional amendment on the ballot by 2014. The measure wouldn’t require churches and other religious institu-
tions to perform or recognize gay marriages. The amendment banning gay marriage was supported by 62 percent of Ohio voters at the time.

FBI issued warnings on Ohio gun suspect TOLEDO (AP) — The FBI has alerted black and Jewish leaders in the Detroit area that their names were on a list kept by an alleged neo-Nazi sympathizer charged with illegally possessing an arsenal of community weapons, leaders said. Richard Schmidt, 47, of Toledo, who served time for a 1990 manslaughter conviction for killing a man in Toledo, was indicted last month on federal weapons charges. There were no allegations of ethnic or racial stalking. But Scott Kaufman, CEO of the Jewish Federation of Metropolitan Detroit, said Friday that FBI agents warned him that Schmidt had a notebook that listed his group and its leaders. Agents asked about any information the Jewish organization had. “It wasn’t a specific hit list. That term would be inappropriate, as far as the message I got from the FBI,” Kaufman said. “They wanted to know if we had any more information, which we did not. … It didn’t shake me up. It just reinforced the message that we need to take security seriously.” The Rev. Wendell Anthony, head of the Detroit branch of the NAACP, said in a statement Friday that au-
thorities had told him his name appeared on the list. “History already tells us that this type of advocacy work is not immune from hatred and violence,” he said. “We take these allegations very seriously but will not allow it to deter us from fighting for equality.” Schmidt is locked up awaiting trial on the weapons charges. There was no immediate comment from his attorney. Email and phone messages were left Friday at his Toledo office. The FBI warnings were first reported by NBC News. Schmidt was charged with illegally possessing 18 firearms, body armor and more than 40,000 rounds of ammunition

The indictment said guns seized from Schmidt included pistols, shotguns and assault rifles. An FBI affidavit filed in December says at least seven high-capacity ammunition magazines were found inside Schmidt’s sports memorabilia store in Bowling Green.

COLUMBUS (AP) — Ohio Gov. John Kasich isn’t just highlighting dollars to persuade state lawmakers to support extending Medicaid coverage to thousands of more low-income state residents. He’s also appealing to their faith. Kasich, one of a small but growing number of Republican governors on board with Medicaid expansion, is openly using his Christianity to tell his fellow GOP legislators that the weak and vulnerable should not be left behind. He is one of seven Republican governors so far to propose expanding the taxpayer-funded health insurance program — though he appears to be standing apart in using his faith to inspire believers. The Bible runs his life “not just on Sunday, but just about every day,” he said in his annual State of the State address Tuesday. “And I’ve got to tell you, I can’t look at the disabled, I can’t look at the poor, I can’t look at the mentally ill, I can’t look at the addicted and think we ought to ignore them,” he told the audience of about 1,700 lawmakers, state officials and other guests. How much weight his pitch carries depends on whether conservative lawmakers can get past their worries about the
federal law and how much it could cost. The federal money that comes with the expansion isn’t lost on Kasich. He has also framed his decision as recapturing Ohio taxpayers’ federal money. The federal government will pay the entire cost of the Medicaid expansion for the first three years, gradually phasing down to 90 percent, still well above the Ohio’s current level of 64 percent. Ohio would see $13 billion from the federal government over the next seven years to cover those newly eligible for Medicaid, according to the Kasich administration. Roughly 366,000 Ohio residents would be up for coverage under the expansion beginning in 2014. The Medicaid expansion is one of the key components of the federal Affordable Care Act. Of the nearly 30 million people expected to gain insurance coverage under the law, about half would get it from the Medicaid expansion. Republicans Many are averse to Democratic President Barack Obama’s signature health care law and resistant to expanding government programs. Kasich — who says he sees Medicaid expansion as separate from the overall law, which he opposes — will have to convince Republicans who control the Legislature to back him, despite the

NATION/WORLD TODAY IN HISTORY BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Today is Saturday, Feb. 23, the 54th day of 2013. There are 311 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Feb. 23, 1863, British explorers John H. Speke and James A. Grant announced they had found the source of the Nile River to be Lake Victoria. (This finding was disputed by Speke’s colleague, Richard F. Burton, who felt that proof was lacking, but the lake is now considered the Nile’s source.) On this date: • In 1836, the siege of the Alamo began in San Antonio, Texas. • In 1848, the sixth president of the United States, John Quincy Adams, died in Washington, D.C., at age 80. • In 1861, Presidentelect Abraham Lincoln arrived secretly in Washington to take office, following word of a possible assassination plot in Baltimore. • In 1870, Mississippi was readmitted to the Union. • In 1903, President Theodore Roosevelt signed an agreement with Cuba to lease the area around Guantanamo Bay to the United States. • In 1927, President Calvin Coolidge signed a bill creating the Federal Radio Commission, forerunner of the Federal Communications Commission. • In 1945, during World War II, U.S. Marines on Iwo Jima captured Mount Suribachi. • In 1954, the first mass inoculation of children against polio with the Salk vaccine began in Pittsburgh. • In 1965, film comedian Stan Laurel, 74, died in Santa Monica, Calif. • In 1970, Guyana became a republic within the Commonwealth of Nations. • In 1981, an attempted coup began in Spain as 200 members of the Civil Guard invaded Parliament, taking lawmakers hostage. (However, the attempt collapsed 18 hours later.) • In 1992, the XVI Winter Olympic Games ended in Albertville, France. • Ten years ago: In West Warwick, R.I., relatives of the victims of a deadly nightclub fire were allowed to walk up to the charred rubble to pray and say goodbye. Norah Jones won five Grammys, including album and record of the year.

Hairy Brazilians take offense SAO PAULO (AP) — Hate that hair? In Brazil, beware. A self-regulatory council for Brazil’s advertising industry is looking into complaints against razor maker Gillette for running bodyshaving commercials. Council spokesman Eduardo Correa says 20 consumers have filed complaints that the campaign “encourages prejudice against hairy men.” The online commercials show beautiful women telling men they should shave their chests to please their girlfriends. The council's ethical committee is expected to rule on the case in 30 days. Elaine Moreira is a spokeswoman for Gillette parent company Procter & Gamble. She says the campaign was “an irreverent way to say that women prefer hairless men and that the company never meant to offend consumers.”

Tanks leaking at nuclear site BY SHANNON DININNY Associated Press YAKIMA, Wash. (AP) — Six underground tanks that hold a brew of radioactive and toxic waste at the nation’s most contaminated nuclear site are leaking, federal and state officials said Friday, prompting calls for an investigation from a key senator. Washington Gov. Jay Inslee said the leaking material poses no immediate risk to public safety or the environment because it would take a while — perhaps years — to reach groundwater. But the leaking tanks raise new concerns about delays for emptying them and strike another blow to federal efforts to clean up south-central Washington’s Hanford Nuclear Reservation, where successes often are overshadowed by delays, budget overruns and technological challenges. Department of Energy spokeswoman Lindsey Geisler said there was no immediate health risk and said federal officials would work with Washington state to address the matter. Regardless, Tom Towslee, a spokesman for Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., said the senator will be asking the Government Accountability Office to

IN THIS July 14, 2010, file photo, workers at the Hanford nuclear reservation work around a a tank farm where highly radioactive waste is stored underground near Richland, Wash. Six underground radioactive waste tanks at the nation’s most contaminated nuclear site are leaking, Gov. Jay Inslee said Friday. investigate Hanford’s tank monitoring and maintenance program. Wyden is the new chairman of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee. State officials just last week announced that one of Hanford’s 177 underground tanks was leaking 150 to 300 gallons a year, posing a risk to groundwater and rivers. So far, nearby monitoring wells haven’t detected higher radioactivity levels.
Inslee traveled to Washington, D.C., this week to discuss the problem with federal officials. He said Friday that he learned in meetings that six tanks are leaking waste. “We received very disturbing news today,” the governor said. “I think that we are going to have a course of new action and that will be vigorously pursued in the next several weeks.” The federal government built the Hanford facility at
the height of World War II as part of the Manhattan Project to build the atomic bomb. The remote site produced plutonium for the bomb dropped on Nagasaki, Japan, and continued supporting the nation’s nuclear weapons arsenal for years. Today, it is the most contaminated nuclear site in the country, still surrounded by sagebrush but with Washington’s Tri-Cities of Richland, Kennewick and Pasco several miles downriver. Hanford’s tanks hold some 53 million gallons of highly radioactive waste — enough to fill dozens of Olympic-size swimming pools — and many of those tanks are known to have leaked in the past. An estimated 1 million gallons of radioactive liquid already leaked there. The tanks also are long past their intended 20-year life span — raising concerns that even more tanks could be leaking — though they were believed to have been stabilized in 2005. Inslee said the falling waste levels in the six tanks were missed because only a narrow band of measurements was evaluated, rather than a wider band that would have shown the levels changing over time.
Secret’s out: Race is an issue BY JEFF KAROUB Associated Press DETROIT (AP) — It’s been called one of medicine’s “open secrets” — allowing patients to refuse treatment by a doctor or nurse of another race. In the latest example, a white man with a swastika tattoo insisted that black nurses not be allowed to touch his newborn. That led several black nurses to sue a Michigan hospital, claiming it bowed to his illegal demands, and a rapid settlement in one of their lawsuits. The Michigan cases are among several lawsuits filed in recent years that highlight this seldom-discussed issue, which quietly persists almost 60 years after the start of the civil rights movement. The American Medical Association’s ethics code bars doctors from refusing to treat people based on race, gender and other criteria, but there are no specific policies for handling race-based requests from patients. “In general, I don’t think honoring prejudicial preferences … is morally justifiable” for a health care organization, said Dr. Susan Goold, a University of Michigan professor of internal medicine and public health. “That said, you can’t cure bigotry … There may be times when grudgingly acceding to a patient’s strongly held preferences is morally OK.” Those times could include patients who have been so traumatized — by rape or combat, for instance — that accommodating their request would be prefer-
able to forcing on them a caregiver whose mere presence might aggravate the situation, she said. Tonya Battle, a 25-year nurse at Flint’s Hurley Medical Center, filed the first lawsuit last month against the hospital and a nursing manager, claiming a note posted on an assignment clipboard read, “No African-American nurse to take care of baby.” She says the note was later removed but black nurses weren’t assigned to care for the baby for about a month because of their race. That case, which was recently joined by three other nurses, was settled this week. Hospital officials said in a statement Friday that the incident was “triggered by conduct which is not consistent with Hurley’s policies” and that it “fundamentally opposes racial discrimination.” No details about the settlement were released. Earlier this week, Hurley President Melany Gavulic denied Battle’s claim, saying the father was told that his request could not be granted. Gavulic said the swastika tattoo “created anger and outrage in our staff,” and supervisors raised safety concerns. Multiple email and phone messages left for Battle through her attorney were unreturned, and a listed number for her had been disconnected. She told the Detroit Free Press she “didn’t even know how to react” when she learned of her employer’s actions following her interaction with the father. She said she introduced herself to the
man and he said, “I need to see your supervisor.” That supervisor, Battle said, told her that the father, who was white, didn’t want African-Americans to care for his child and had rolled up his sleeve to expose the swastika. “I just was really dumbfounded,” Battle said. “I couldn’t believe that’s why he was so angry (and) that’s why he was requesting my (supervisory) nurse.” Attorney Tom Pabst, who is representing nurse Carlotta Armstrong in a second lawsuit that wasn’t part of the settlement, said the hospital’s actions left nurses in the neonatal intensive care unit “in a ball of confusion.” “She said, ‘You know what really bothered me? I didn’t know what to do if the baby was choking or dying. Am I going to get fired if I go over there?’” Pabst said. The Michigan cases follow a 2010 decision by the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, which held that the federal Civil Rights Act prohibits nursing homes from making staffing decisions for nursing assistants based on residents’ racial preferences. The ruling stemmed from a lawsuit filed by a black nursing assistant who sued her employer for racial discrimination. In another federal lawsuit filed in 2005, three black employees of Abington Memorial Hospital near Philadelphia claimed they were prevented from treating a pregnant white woman by her male partner, who was a member of a white supremacist group. The man used a racial slur when forbidding any care by any African-Americans.
Pistorius gets bail as murder trial looms BY JON GAMBRELL Associated Press PRETORIA, South Africa (AP) — Oscar Pistorius walked out of a South African court Friday a free man — for now — after a magistrate agreed to release him on bail ahead of his premeditated murder trial over the shooting death of his girlfriend. But even as he was driven away from court and chased by videographers and photographers, questions continued to hound the Paralympian about what actually happened when he opened fire on Valentine’s Day inside his home and killed Reeva Steenkamp. Chief Magistrate Desmond Nair, who agreed to bail with harsh restrictions for the athlete, expressed his own doubts about Pistorius’ story. Those questions, highlighted at a four-day bail hearing that at times foreshadowed his coming trial, come from Pistorius’ account that he felt threatened and mistook Steenkamp for an intruder when he fired the four shots at her in his bathroom. “Why would (Pistorius) venture further into danger?” Nair asked.

OLYMPIC ATHLETE Oscar Pistorius is driven to a relative’s home in Pretoria, South Africa, Friday. Pistorius’ supporters shouted “Yes!” when Nair made his decision after a nearly two hour explanation of his ruling to a packed courtroom in Pretoria, South Africa’s capital. Yet when prosecutors and the defense said they agreed to bail terms, Nair more than doubled those conditions for the 26-year-old runner to be free ahead of trial. Nair set the bail at 1 million rand ($113,000), with $11,300 in cash up front and
proof that the rest is available. The magistrate said Pistorius must hand over his passports and also turn in any other guns that he owns. Pistorius also cannot leave the district of Pretoria without the permission of his probation officer, Nair said, nor can he take drugs or drink alcohol. Pistorius’ family members hugged each other after the decision was read, with tears in their eyes. “We are relieved at the fact that Oscar got bail today but at the same time we are in mourning for the death of Reeva with her family,” said Pistorius’ uncle, Arnold Pistorius. “As a family, we know Oscar’s version of what happened on that tragic night and we know that that is the truth and that will prevail in the coming court case.” Sharon Steenkamp, Reeva’s cousin, had said earlier that the family wouldn’t be watching the bail decision and hadn’t been following the hearing in Pretoria. “It doesn’t make any difference to the fact that we are without Reeva,” she told The Associated Press. Nair set Pistorius’ next court appearance for June 4.
The Olympian left the courthouse in a silver Land Rover, sitting in the rear, just more than an hour after the magistrate imposed the bail conditions. The vehicle, tailed by motorcycles carrying television cameramen aboard, later pulled into the home of Pistorius’ uncle. Pistorius left behind more than a dozen international and local television crews at the red-brick courthouse. It’s a sign of the growing global fascination with a case involving an inspirational athlete and his beautiful, law-school graduate girlfriend, who was a model and reality TV show contestant. During Friday’s long session in Pretoria Magistrate’s Court, Pistorius alternately wept and appeared solemn and more composed, especially toward the end as Nair criticized police procedures in the case and as a judgment in Pistorius’ favor appeared imminent. He showed no reaction as he was granted bail. Before the hearing, Pistorius’ longtime coach Ampie Louw said he hoped to put his runner back into his morning and afternoon training routine if he got bail.

VERSAILLES — Professional Elvis Presley tribute artist Ryan Roth will perform with the 16-piece band, Comeback Special, on March 9 in Versailles. The show kicks off at 7:30 p.m. in the Versailles Performing Arts Center located at 280 Marker Road. Roth is well-known in Elvis performance circuits for his vocal abilities and sound. He frequently competes and performs around the country. Last spring, Roth joined with the band, Comeback Special, and the group performed on the Graceland Crossing stage in Memphis, Tenn., this past August during Elvis Week. Comeback Special includes a horn section and choir of vocalists, and provides a very authentic sound, similar to the TCB Band that accompanied Elvis in the 1970s. “The horns really make this show,” one recent audience member said. “I can’t get over the quality of these performers.” Tickets for this concert are now on sale by calling (937) 507-1513. Prices are $15 for adults and $5 for those ages 17 and under. Proceeds go to Versailles’ Towne & Country Players’ upcoming production of “The Wedding Singer.”

Honda makes executive changes and senior managing officer of Honda Motor Co. Ltd. • Bob Nelson will become president of Honda Manufacturing of Indiana LLC (HMIN) in Greensburg, Ind. Nelson is currently a senior vice president at HMIN and has been with Honda for 25 years, including 23 years with Honda of America Mfg. Inc. in Ohio. • Jon Minto will become president of Honda Engineering North America Inc. (EGA), Honda’s production engineering company in North America. Minto is currently a senior vice president with EGA, which is based in Marysville, and has been with Honda for more than 20 years, including at Honda of Canada Mfg. (HCM) • Dan Smith will become president of Honda of Canada Mfg. (HCM) in Alliston, Ontario, a division of Honda Canada Inc. (HCI). Smith is currently a senior vice president at HCM and has been with Honda for 28 years, including 26 years with Honda of America Mfg. Inc. and Honda En-
gineering North America, Inc. in Ohio. • Jerry Chenkin will become president and CEO of Honda Canada Inc. (HCI) in Markham, Ontario, outside Toronto. Chenkin, currently executive vice president of HCI, has been with Honda for 38 years. In conjunction with these executive appointments, Honda will strengthen the leadership function of its North American regional operations under HNA and HNAS to enhance the ability to deliver high quality products to the customer more quickly and efficiently. The changes will help achieve this through more efficient management and quicker decision making, and by merging some of the support functions common to multiple Honda companies in North America under one roof. Both HNA’s leadership function and HNAS will be on Honda’s located Marysville campus. In 2012, Honda outlined key strategies that increased the role played by Honda’s sales, manu-
facturing and R&D operations in North America within Honda’s global business. The changes announced today are the next step in this direction. “These organizational changes will improve the speed of decision-making and the efficiency of our operations,” business said Tetsuo Iwamura, chief operating officer of Honda’s North American Regional Operations, which includes the U.S, Canada and Mexico. “Our global customers desire new, exciting and affordable automobile, motorcycle and power equipment products, and these changes will enhance our ability to quickly bring our customers’ dreams to the market.” Since its founding in 1987, HNA has served as a coordinating entity for such operations as legal services, corporate audit and risk management. In its evolving role, HNA will house several members of senior executive management responsible for strategic oversight over North American sales, manufacturing and R&D for

to hand it out to potential employers, making a list of the companies you definitely want to make time to see and preparing questions you know you would like to ask. Be able to introduce yourself professionally, offer a firm handshake, learn about their job opportunities and provide a brief summary of your skills and credentials. These steps don’t seem like much but will ensure you have a successful trip and will allow you to take advantage of this opportunity to its fullest. As you are preparing to leave for the event it never hurts to ask yourself the following: am I dressed appropriately? Have I done the proper research of the companies I plan to visit? Am I prepared to properly introduce myself?
While at the event be aware of your body language as well as your manners. Remember that others attending are also competitively looking at the same job opportunities as you. Be sure to shake hands firmly and speak clearly to the representatives. First impressions are lasting impressions and should be made appealing. It is important that you never forget the reason you are attending the event, it isn’t for a social hour but for opportunities. Many employers will be looking at how you handle yourself in a professional setting. If you are not attending the expo with the hopes of finding employment immediately it is still important to follow the above steps. Often, just learning about the
different jobs in the area is useful and rewarding to know so in the future when you are ready to apply you know what to look for. It could also be beneficial to see how your peers are interacting with representatives. You will be surprised by how much you pick up from just listening and comparing notes. This is an excellent opportunity to network and sharpen your communication skills. Now that you are prepared and understand the many opportunities career expos hold you will be able to utilize this event to better your chances of reaching success in your future.

COLUMBUS – Secretary of State Jon Husted has announced the number of new companies that filed in Ohio in 2012 set a record for the state, based on data available. In total, 88,068 new entities filed to do business last year — the most in the state’s 209year history. “More companies choosing to do business in our state helps grow our economy and increases job prospects for people across Ohio,” Husted said. “My office will continue our efforts to make setting up a
business in Ohio as easy as possible.” Husted also noted that more than 2.1 million new businesses have filed with the state since Ohio officially became a state in 1803. Last month, Husted announced that 2012 year-end filing figures for new businesses showed three consecutive years of growth. In fact, data showed the number of new companies that filed with the state increased 16.5 per-
cent from 2009 to 2012. Though the most visible role of the Secretary of State is that of chief elections officer, the office is also the first stop for individuals or companies who want to file and start a business in Ohio. While recognizing these numbers can’t provide a complete picture of Ohio’s jobs climate, they are an important indicator of economic activity that Husted said he hopes will add to the discus-
sion of how to improve the state’s overall climate for business. New business filings are classified as forms filed with the Ohio Secretary of State that declare the formation of a business entity, including for-profit, non-profit and professional corporations, limited liability companies, partnerships, limited partnerships and limited liability partnerships. Filing as a business in Ohio does not guarantee the company will begin operations, be profitable or create jobs.

(such as) sexual assault, domestic violence (and) other kinds of assault. If these crimes are against children, that is an aggravating factor,” Stevenson noted. In some respects, Stevenson believes the law is more lenient. “To the extent that the sentencing statutes take discretion sentencing away from judges and an ability to look at the individual defendant, yes. There are occasions, not frequent, necessarily where I have been limited in giving what I would consider a more appropriate sentence.” No local benefits “The very clear goal was to reduce the prison population. That has been done. Locally, I cannot see any benefits.” The law could impact the local jail population and be “mindful of county finances and the costs to the county of housing inmates,” Stevenson said. Stevenson noted he “rarely sentence(s) to local jail time just because I can’t send to prison. I’d rather wait until the defendant violates community control and then send to prison. I don’t believe I have significantly increased local jail time sentencing because of H.B. 86.” The judge said that since he took office in January 2007, H.B. 86 has been a “major change.” Another change is that “defendants have more opportunity to appeal a sentence now than before. Before, as long as a judge stayed within the sentencing range, there was little chance of a successful appeal of a sentence. Now, although still rare, Courts of Appeal can rebecause you verse (judge) did not say the right words during the sentencing hearing or make the right findings.” Shelby County Juvenile and Probate Judge William Zimmerman said one of the issues H.B. 86 addresses involving juveniles is the competency to stand trial. Younger kids “The kids in court I see are, unfortunately, getting younger and younger, as young as 8. Their competency to understand the trial process becomes questionable.” Like Stevenson, Zimmerman is worried about issues like judicial discretion, but stated the law “is a good effort to
protect really young offenders, 8-12 years old, if they have no clue as to the legal process.” Zimmerman said there is a push on juvenile judges to not send serious offenders to the Department of Youth Services (DYS) prison, but detain them locally. “As a juvenile judge, my sentencing decisions include the type of crime, violent or not-, the age of the offender” as well as other factors. “The most difficult aspect of putting a child in detention is the pain it gives to that child’s parent, especially a mother. But in the long run, it’s often times the lack of discipline at home that is why that child is in court,” Zimmerman explained. While Zimmerman is “comfortable” with juvenile sentencing laws, “I do feel there is a need for alternative placements outside of their homes, which is a huge expense.” “Juvenile Court is a court of rehabilitation as opposed to a court of punishment,” Zimmerman said. “It’s my job to lead my staff in finding the best services available to help a child succeed.” Miami County Prosecutor Gary Nasal, special prosecutor in former Sheriff Dean Kimpel’s case, said, “the new law would have made it virtually impossible for the judge to have sentenced Kimpel to prison.” Prior to H.B. 86, “the judge would have had wider discretion in the sentencing process” but Knasel said it was unlikely Kimpel would have gone to prison anyway. Frustrating “It is extremely frustrating when individuals do not receive what we perceive to be sufficient punishment. It is even more frustrating when those cases involve victims who have suffered great personal injury, either physical, psychological or great financial harm,” Nasal stated. “It impacts the community and public safety. Individuals con-
victed of F-4’s and F-5’s know there is very little likelihood of prison time and many are committing additional offenses while out on bond for a first offense,” Nasal said. He believes discretion should be left to local judges. Repeat offenders Nasal is concerned about repeat offenders. “I see recidivism increasing as a result of the sentencing structure; we have individuals on community control offending while on that sanction.” Shelby County Sheriff John Lenhart said the number of inmates in the local s in jail is “pretty consistent.” But he noted that probation numbers are going up. “What the state will have done is push their problem back on county government,” Lenhart said. “It will cost Shelby County taxpayers more.” He stated that while the county gets a reimbursement of $60 per federal prisoner, there is no reimbursement for other prisoners. Unfunded mandates “In my opinion, state government always (has) unfunded mandates and then they say fund the (mandate) on your own,” Lenhart said. It seems to me state government finances continue to grow, our money shrinks.” Cornwall, Robert Buckeye State Sheriff ’s Association executive director, provided numbers on the state prison population, noting it has reduced from 50,000 to 68,000. However, he noted numbers in local jails are going up. underStevenson stands the concerns. “I’d like to see sentencing laws simplified and judges given more discretion to sentence based
on the facts of the individual case. Any time the state legislature tries to micromanage what judges can and cannot do, inevitably inequities and unfairness result.” Stevenson said understands the public’s frustration. “I understand the public from their perspective may be frustrated from time to time over a particular case, but I also recognize that the public often doesn’t understand all of the details of the case or the factors a judge must take in consideration in fashioning a sentence.” “Judges are supposed to be fair and unbiased. They should not be swayed by the emotions of the moment. Prosecutors and victim advocates are there to support victims. Defense counsel are there to support the defendant. The judge’s role is to be neutral and balance those competing interests. That means the judge cannot favor one side of a case over the other. That applies to sentencing just as to any other aspect of a case,” Stevenson said. Deserve better Nasal said he believes crime victims and communities deserve better. “I believe that discretion needs to be restored to local judges and that the sentencing laws should be clear so that the time stated is the time a defendant serves. That is only fair to victims. In a rush to cure overcrowding and reduce costs, we’ve lost sight of the rights of victims of crime. I understand the public’s frustration and I share it. The sentences are lenient and it seems as though the victims and the community have been forgotten.”

ful sexual contact with a minor. It is a felony four. It is not defined as a crime of violence. As a first-time offender, community control (probation) is mandatory. Fortunately, we have not had any of those,” Stevenson noted. Dembski As an example, consider the case of Jerry Dembski, who was arrested in 2009 and initially charged with four counts of gross sexual imposition, five counts of child enticement and felony counts of intimidating a witness, tampering with evidence and importuning. He later entered a plea of no contest to three counts of child enticement, a misdemeanor of the first degree, and one count of obstructing official business, a fourth degree felony. While Dembski was sentenced to 45 days in jail prior to H.B. 86 taking effect, Stevenson said, if he was sentenced now as a first-time felony offender, the judge would have been required to place him on community control. “The (former Shelby County Sheriff) Kimpel case was a case that may have been affected by the new sentencing bill. I say ‘may’ because the sentencing judge may have given him the same sentence anyway, but under the new sentencing statute as a firsttime offender on a felony four, the judge was required to place him on community control,” Stevenson said. Stevenson recused himself from the Dembski and Kimpel cases due to a conflict of interest. No prison In another illustration, Stevenson said a defendant was convicted of a felony four pandering charge. “Because of the nature of the charge, I would have likely considered a prison sentence, but I could not,” he said. Stevenson said it can be “very frustrating” to have a person initially charged with a serious offense, “but it is then negotiated to a plea to a charge which limits my sentencing. I will have a person who, based on the facts of the case, I might want to do one thing, but I cannot because of the charges pled to for which the defendant is in front of me for sentencing.” “I take very seriously crimes against persons

son said. “Even if a person commits multiple crimes, a court cannot sentence to consecutive sentencing just because there are multiple offenses. Before I can impose consecutive sentencing, I have to find that consecutive sentencing is necessary to protect the public from future crime or to punish the offender.” “I can’t just say, ‘well, he committed two or three crimes and he should spend time on each crime so I’ll give him consecutive sentences.’ Unless I can find some justification, I am required to sentence him to concurrent time, which, of course means when he is serving time on one, he is also serving the same time on the others,” Stevenson noted. Judges’ discretion The biggest problem facing judges, in Stevenson’s opinion, is that “it takes away discretion from the judge. A judge should be able to look at the individual case and fashion a sentence that is appropriate for the individual defendant. Some defendants deserve a lesser sentence and some deserve a greater sentence.” Stevenson quoted the “purposes of felony sentencing” as set forth in the Ohio Revised Code (ORC) dealing with the way a judge balances sentencing. “The overriding purposes of felony sentencing are to protect the public from future crime by the offender and others and to punish the ofusing the fender minimum sanctions that the court determines accomplish those purposes without imposing an unnecessary burden on state or local government resources. To achieve those purposes, the sentencing court shall consider the need for incapacitating the offender, deterring the offender and others from future crime, rehabilitating the offender, and making restitution to the victim of the offense, the public or both.” Stevenson noted the reference to “minimum sanction” in the ORC has been in place since 1996 and “was an early attempt by the state legislature to reduce prison population.” Sex offenses Sentencing for sex offenses has also changed. “Sex offenses are one of the troubling areas. First-time felony fours and fives are required to be given community control unless it is a crime of violence. Although some felony four sex offenses are considered crimes of violence and exempted from the required community control, other sex offenses are not,” Stevenson stated. “For example, a 22year-old man can have sex with a 13-year-old girl. The crime is unlaw-

ommend lifelong warfarin (Coumadin) only after a second episode of DVT in a case like yours, where there is no clear reason for having had one. However, clinical judgment may sometimes cause a physician to advise lifelong warfarin after a single event, especially one that’s life-threatening — say, a large pulmonary embolus. Taking warfarin long term definitely would decrease the risk of a serious blood clot, either in the legs or the lungs, but it also would increase the risk of abnormal bleeding, something that can be serious. In my opinion, because the initial blood clot was not life-threatening, I would probably agree with your second doctor to not continue the warfarin for the long term. However, your doc-
tors should look carefully for some other reason why you had the blood clot in the first place. Please let me know what they find, and what you decide. DEAR DR.

Balance is a complex system involving eyes, a sense of where your limbs are (proprioception) and where gravity is, through the organ of balance in the inner ear. Finding out which system might be making you off-balance can be tricky. Fortunately, balance exercises — ideally supervised by an occupational or physical therapist — almost always help.

Some parents develop hair-trigger tempers when they are under financial pressure. Others, without realizing it, model their behavior on the way their parents raised THEM and overreact when their children make mistakes. Because you haven’t been able to get through to your father, talk to a trusted adult relative about the fact that you would like to be closer to your parents but don’t know how. If they hear it from another adult, they
might be more open to the message. DEAR ABBY: I am a 26-year-old mother of a 13-month-old daughter, “Lissa.” I am a “by-thebook” mom. I’m still breastfeeding and I am strict about what I allow my daughter to eat. She has just barely started to eat table food. I don’t want my child to have bad eating habits, so I try to give her only healthy items at dinnertime. Her dad, on the other hand, thinks it’s funny to give her junk, including sugar. When she was only 2 months old, I caught him giving her licorice. The other day, it was soda and ice cream. I don’t agree with this, and it’s
causing us a lot of fights. When we sit down to dinner, I have Lissa’s meal set aside. But before I can sit down, her dad starts giving her things off his plate and then she won’t eat her dinner. I have told him I don’t like it, but he doesn’t understand that I want to teach her good eating habits. Am I wrong in trying so hard? Or should I just give up and let her eat junk? — TRYING MY BEST IN CALIFORNIA DEAR TRYING: Parenting is supposed to be a team sport and I’m more concerned about the fact that Lissa’s dad is undercutting you than what’s going into her mouth right now. If he
continues, in another year or two, your little girl will regard him as a pushover and you as a big meanie. You may need an impartial mediator to get through to Lissa’s father, and the perfect person to do that is your child’s pediatrician. Let the doctor tell Daddy that the more she is given sweets, the more she’ll crave them. The only thing about your approach that might be of concern to me is your calling yourself a “by-the-book” mother. A conscientious parent not only goes by the book and is consistent, but she also uses her head and listens to her heart. I hope you will remember that.

50 years ago Feb. 23, 1963 Sidney’s Jayvees turned on the steam to do the same thing to Indian Lake’s Reserves as the varsity in a 46-21 preliminary. Butch Ward chalked 10 points for the locals.
25 years ago Feb. 23, 1988 Maggi Williams said she was taught never to brag about herself, but she can be excused for doing so this year because her coaching effort with the Sidney High Lady Jackets may have been her best-ever. Ms. Williams led the Sidney team to an 18-2 overall record and a share of the Greater Miami Valley Conference title, and for her efforts, she has been named the Sidney Daiy News All-Area Coach of the Year.

PIQUA — The Fairlawn Jets started fast and never let up in rolling to a 72-47 victory over Ansonia in the first round of the Piqua Division IV Boys Sectional Basketball Tournament Friday. The win puts the Jets at 16-7 on the year and advances them to the semifinals Tuesday at 6 p.m. against Fort Loramie. The Jets scored the first seven points of the game and 12 of the first 14 to take control of the contest early on. Trey Everett opened the scoring with a deuce and Brad Caudill followed 50 seconds later with a three-pointer. Everett then hit another deuce to make it 7-0 before Ansonia got on the board. But Anthony Gillem countered the Tigers’s first bucket with a three to make it 20-2, and a Jessie Hughes layup made it 12-2 with 3:03 left in the opening period. The Jets led 14-4 after one, then stretched the lead out to 38-16 at the half. “We did a good job of taking control of the contest early,” said Fairlawn coach JustinTidwell. “Our intensity was high at the start and we forced them into bad SDN Photo/Todd B.

—— Botkins moves on Russia had all the momentum heading into the second half, but Botkins went on a 10-0 run to start the third quarter and went on to a 4735 decision over the Raiders. The 15-8 Trojans face Mechanicsburg in the second round Tuesday at 7:30. Russia ends its season at 6-17. Russia rallied late in the second quarter to trail by just one at the half. But just when it looked like Russia had momentum on its side, the Trojans took control of the contest as layups by Alex Roberts and Heath Geyer along with three-pointers by Roberts and Schwartz extended the lead to 32-21 with 5:46 to play in the third quarter. “Russia made a run at us late in the second quarter when we had Geyer on the bench and they were able to rattle our guards,” said Botkins coach Brett Meyer. “We talked about coming out strong in the opening three minutes of the third quarter and we did just that.” “It was an uphill battle for us all night and that run made it even more difficult,” said Russia coach Paul Bremigan. “Our defense has been pretty good the last five or six games, but we’ve really struggled to put the ball in the basket.” Russia cut the deficit to four with seven unanswered points, capped off by another Gariety three, and the Raiders were within five at 40-35 on a Nolan Francis jumper with still five minutes to go. That turned out to be the final points of the night, however, for Russia as Botkins scored the final seven points of the contest, six by Geyer, to win going away. “We were able to make some plays down the stretch and did a good job on them defensively,” said Meyer. “We had a good all-around effort, especially on the defensive end.” Schwartz led all scorers with 17 for the Trojans, including all nine of the team’s points in the second quarter and 14 overall in the first half, while Geyer added 16, all but two coming after halftime.

ON THIS DATE IN 1985 — Indiana coach Bob Knight is ejected five minutes into the Hoosiers' 72-63 loss to Purdue when he throws a chair across the court. Knight, after two fouls called on his team, is hit with his first technical. While Purdue was shooting the technical, Knight picks up a chair from the bench area and throws it across the court, earning his second technical. 1991 — North Carolina becomes the first team in NCAA basketball history to win 1,500 games with a 73-57 victory over Clemson.
BY KEN BARHORST kbarhorst@civitasmedia.com The Sidney Yellow Jackets face a difficult challenge today in their first postseason action. The Jackets, 3-19 on the year, face No. 1 seeded Wayne this afternoon at Centerville High School in the Division I Sectional Tournament. The last time the two met at Sidney High, Wayne won 95-57 for one of its 18 wins on the year. “We know what we’re up against,” said Sidney head coach Greg Snyder. “We know what they’re going to do and what we have to do and it’s just a matter of executing. Of course, that’s a lot tougher
than it sounds against a team like Wayne. But we have to execute our press-breaker, move without the ball and not try to dribble through everything.” The Warriors have six players averaging better than eight points per game. “I would put Wayne right up there with anybody we play,” said Snyder. “They just keep coming at you and what makes them so good is they are so deep. If they’re having problems, they just run in two or three more guys who are just as good as the ones they replaced. They’re very well-coached and very athletic.” Snyder said he wouldn’t be opposed to playing a deliber-
ate game, working the ball around for the best possible shot. “If they’re going to stand back and let us make 10 passes, we’ll do it,” said the coach. “But that’s not who they are. They will pressure you all over. “When we played Trotwood in our gym, we were able to use their press against them,” he added. “But we just ran out of gas in the second half.” Snyder likes the progress his team made over the course of the season. “Improvements were made over the last part of the season,” he said “It’s a process and part of that is learning how to compete and giving yourself an opportunity. It
would be nice to do that against a premier team like Wayne.”
Girls Meanwhile, the Sidney Lady Jackets have an equally challenging task awaiting this morning when they take on the state’s No. 2-ranked D-I team, Fairmont. The two play at Lebanon this morning at 11 in the sectional finals. Sidney defeated Edgewood in its tourney opener, then beat Troy 45-40 Thursday night to earn a spot in the finals. The Lady Jackets take a 15-9 record into the game against the 22-1 Lady Firebirds.

Houston grad Tribe rallies, beat Reds 11-10 Replogle leads Witt to wins Houston graduate Kim Replogle had a good week in women’s basketball at Wittenberg. It started out Saturday on Senior Night, when she tossed in 14 points in a one-point win over Ohio Wesleyan. Then on Tuesday, in the conference tournament opener, she had eight points and six rebounds in a win over Denison. Megan Fogt, Anna Fogt had a big game for Hillsdale in Michigan this week, posting another double-double of 20 points and 10 rebounds in a win over Malone. She also had three blocks. Stacy Timmerman, New Bremen Timmerman has been outstanding all season long at Capital and this week was no different. She had 12 points, three assists and three steals against Ohio Northern, and 19 points, three assists, three steals, and was 6-for-6 from the line against Muskingum. Mitch Westerheide, Fort Loramie Westerheide plays for the men’s basketball team at Capital and was named to the Honorable Mention list of the AllOhio Athletic Conference team. And on the court, Westerheide had eight points and six assists against Ohio Northern. Janel Olberding, Fort Loramie Olberding competed for Ohio State in the Buckeye Tune-up this week and ran a personal-best 1:31.85 in winning the 600 meters.
GOODYEAR, Ariz. (AP) — Terry Francona froze like a rookie manager. When the winning run crossed home plate in the ninth inning Friday, giving Cleveland an 11-10 comeback win over the Cincinnati Reds in Francona’s spring debut with the Indians, the two-time World Series winner wasn’t quite sure what to do. “I just don’t know if Replogle Westerheide everybody knew it was a walk-off,” Francona said COLLEGE UPDATE with a laugh. “Everybody was kind of looking Tammy Berger, around. Nobody knew Versailles Berger also runs at how to act.” Ohio State and finished third in the mile in the Buckeye Tune-up in 5:01.

For Francona, it had been a while. Back in a dugout for the first time since parting ways with the Boston Red Sox after the 2011 season, Francona opened a new era with the revitalized Indians, who after luring him away from broadcasting in October, spent nearly $120 million on free agents to improve a club that lost 94 games last season. Francona’s got some work to do to get the Indians back into contention, but this was a start. “Yeah, today was good,” Francona said.
“The starters got three innings just like we wanted. Everybody got an at-bat or two to kind of shake off the rust a little bit.” There was plenty of corrosion as the teams combined for 21 runs, 27 hits, four homers and some horrendous pitching. The Reds led 10-8 going to the bottom of the ninth before the Indians loaded the bases against reliever Carlos Contreras. Cincinnati manager Dusty Baker brought in Drew Hayes and Mike McDade, acquired on waivers from
Toronto in November, sliced a three-run double into the left-field corner to win it. Joey Cincinnati’s Votto singled in his first two at-bats as the defending NL West champions built a 5-0 lead in the first with some help from the Indians, who let an easy fly ball drop to score two runs. Baker likes what he’s seen so far from his first baseman. “Joey looked great, actually,” he said. “He was running the bases well. You didn’t see any signs of anything. He swung the bat well.”

School bullying
Personnel
It was reported the Elementary Principals Advisory Committee convened in January and that school bullying was the focal point addressed. Keller said she is adding “anti-bullying tips” to the monthly One Call email message and junior high leaders will be used as mentors for younger students in an effort to stop bullying. Keller also informed the board of a discussion on current crisis drill practices and changes that may be needed for security purposes. Some of the ideas include using magnetic tabs to keep classroom doors locked at all times, blocking classroom entrance with a desk in the event of a crisis, increasing vigilance in keeping outer doors locked, planning to hold a drill during crisis lunchtime, and planning to walk students to offsite gathering areas (public utilities building near Four Seasons Park). High school Principal Mike Lee offered congratulations to eighth-grade student Nick Chalk for winning the geography
The board approved the following personnel recommendations: • Certified staff — recognize the end of the retire/rehire contracts of Donald Patch, half-time math teacher; Rodney Schey, half-time technology teacher; Steve Blackburn, half-time health/physical education teacher; accept Jackie Arling’s resignation, effective May 31; accept Ellen Topp’s resignation due to retirement, effective May 31. • Classified staff — accept Rita Kremer’s resignation due to retirement, effective May 31. • Supplemental — limited, one-year contracts for James Sharp, high school assistant boys track; Jacob Goodwin and Kregg Olding, junior high assistant boys track; and Kayla Wuebker, junior high assistant girls track. The board approved the following volunteer coaches: John Huelsman, high school track; Mark Wiss, baseball; Matt Quinter, baseball; and Scott Sherman, baseball.

MINSTER — The Minster Rocket Club is selling 5gallon buckets of laundry detergents and fabric softeners to raise money to support the building of its NASA rocket as the club readies for its April trip to Huntsville, Ala., to participate in the NASA Student Launch Initiative. The club is only one of a handful of schools in the entire country invited to participate in this event. Each 5-gallon bucket is $45 and comes with a dispenser pump. The normal retail price of this product is approximately $100, so purchasers are not only helping support the Minster Rocket Club, but saving money, club members said. All orders are due back to the Minster Junior/Senior High School office by Friday. Order forms are available from any Rocket Club member or at the school office from 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. For online information or credit card orders, visit www.minsterrocketclub.com/detergent-sale.html.

HOROSCOPE
BY FRANCIS DRAKE What kind of day will tomorrow be? To find out what the stars say, read the forecast given for your birth sign. For Monday, Feb. 25, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) The Full Moon today can produce tension between you and co-workers. Patience is your only recourse. (You know this.) TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Be patient with children, and also with friends or groups you might be dealing with today. Everyone can feel the tension of today’s Full Moon, including you. You’re either part of the solution or part of the problem. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You feel caught in a tugof-war between your obligations to home and family and your obligations to your career and public reputation. Today you can’t ignore your career. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) This is a mildly accidentprone day because of the Full Moon’s energy. Pay attention to everything you say and do, and keep your eyes open.
LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Today’s Full Moon can set up some financial tension for you. You also might disagree with the values of someone else. (It is what it is.) VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) The only Full Moon in your sign all year is taking place today, which is why you feel more emotional than usual. Be cool. Demonstrate grace under pressure. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) If you feel agitated today, it’s because of the Full Moon’s energy. Don’t worry, millions feel this way as well — even dogs, cats and probably goldfish. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Disputes with others about children, sports events, romantic partners or anything that might block your goals could occur today. This is just Full Moon energy. Be patient. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Despite the demands of others, you really cannot ignore home, family and your responsibilities. personal But today’s Full Moon will challenge you to try to do this.
BELLEFONTAINE SURROUNDING AREAS AREAS && SURROUNDING
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Be aware and mindful of everything you say and do, because this is an accident-prone day for your sign. Guard against knee-jerk reactions, especially blunt comments. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Someone might block your financial ambitions today (and you are ambitious). If you wait a day or two, things will be easier. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) The only Full Moon directly opposite your sign is taking place today, which is why you feel tension when dealing with partners and close friends. If you are tolerant and patient, you will be doing yourself a favor — believe me. YOU BORN TODAY You give to your work, you give to your loved ones and you give to the world at large. However, you have a strong personality and will defend your beliefs. Once you embrace something, you become devoted. You are more inclined to find fulfillment after your mid-30s. In the year ahead, you will study or learn something valuable. (Give yourself a chance to do this.) Birthdate of: Sean Astin, actor; Rashida Jones, actress/singer;Tea Leoni,actress.

PIQUA — Upper Valley Career Center Adult Division will offer a beginner-level stainedglass class taught by local artist Lisa Seger. During the course, Seger will teach the basics of stained glass — cutting, grinding, copper foiling, and soldering. No experience is necessary. Students will learn the techniques hands-on by building a copper foil stained-glass window panel from a selection of simple panel designs. “After learning the basics, students can continue to develop skills and work on additional projects at home,” said
Enrichment Coordinator Annette Paulus. The class will be held on Mondays from 6 to 8:30 p.m., March 4 through April 8, with the exception of April 1. The cost of the class is $110 plus supplies. A list will be provided at the time of registration. Contact Paulus at (800) or email 589.6963 paulusa@uppervalleycc.org to register or for more information. Registrations will be accepted through Monday. Class size is limited. “Bring a friend. It is sure to be an enjoyable class for all,” said Paulus.

HOROSCOPE BY FRANCES DRAKE For Sunday, Feb. 24, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You feel quite private about things right now, which is why you are working behind the scenes. This is a good time to strategize what you want your new year (birthday to birthday) to be all about. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Friends are very important now. Likewise, your relationship with clubs and organizations is important. (Partly, this is because old friends are popping up.) GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) People notice you more than usual now, especially bosses, parents and VIPs. Since you look very good to them, demand the advantage. Ask for what you want. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) This is an excellent time to travel or get further education or training. Do whatever you can to enhance your life or improve your job. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Focus on how you can reduce your debt and wrap up loose details with inheritances, wills and estates. Tidy up these easy-to-avoid obligations. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) You need more sleep now, because the Sun is as far away from your sign as it gets all year, and the Sun is your source of energy. Respect this. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Do whatever you can to get better organized, because you’ll feel better psychologically and physically. You are very affected by the appearance of your environment. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Focus on children, sports events, fun times and vacations, because that’s where it’s at for you now. This is a great time to just kick up your heels and enjoy yourself. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Family discussions can provoke tension now, which means you have to smooth over troubled waters. You can do this. One angry person can upset a whole family. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Your busy pace will give you lots of energy to sell, teach, act, write or drive for a living. You’re out there, flying your colors and talking to everyone. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Certain situations have made you start to question your values. You’re wondering what really matters in life. Is it money? What will make you happy? PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Four planets are in your sign now, so you are revved and ready for action. Get some physical exercise to blow off some of this pent-up steam. YOU BORN TODAY You are so giving, you often find yourself in a position of sacrifice. The well-being and happiness of others is a source of your own personal reward. It’s important to work for the common good by finding a win-win solution so that you are not left in the dust. Fortunately, your year ahead will be delightfully social and will benefit all relationships. Birthdate of: Kristin Davis, actress; Sid Meier, game designer/programmer; George Thorogood, guitarist.

CAUTION Whether posting or responding to an advertisement, watch out for offers to pay more than the advertised price for the item. Scammers will send a check and ask the seller to wire the excess through Western Union (possibly for courier fees). The scammer's check is fake and eventually bounces and the seller loses the wired amount. While banks and Western Union branches are trained at spotting fake checks, these types of scams are growing increasingly sophisticated and fake checks often aren't caught for weeks. Funds wired through Western Union or MoneyGram are irretrievable and virtually untraceable.
