JACOB FOGT (left) 12, of Anna, gets an autograph from U.S. Rep. John Boehner at the 8th Congressional District Farm Forum at Edison Community College in Piqua Saturday. A panel of experts tackled a wide range of topics facing farmers such as biofuels and genetically modified crops. Boehner was the forum’s host. The event’s keynote speaker was Ed Schafer who served as the 29th Secretary of the United States Department of Agriculture under former President George W. Bush. Jacob is the son of Jason and Laura Fogt.

PIQUA — Less than 24 hours after meeting with President Barack Obama about pending government cuts, Speaker of the House John Boehner sat among his Eighth District friends and supporters at the 22nd annual Farm Forum at Edison State Community College Saturday. Boehner met with the president and congressional leaders from both parties for about 45 minutes at the White House Friday, but no agreement emerged to avert the cuts that both sides oppose. Yet, on Saturday morning, Boehner answered questions from Ohio farmers, agricultural experts and members of his district. Questions ranged from the budget deficit, defense cuts, the Keystone Pipeline project and the proposed Farm Bill. Boehner addressed the

president’s sequester tactic and the spending cuts. “The president demanded the sequester because he didn’t want to have to deal with debt limits in his re-election in 2012,” Boehner said. “(Senate Majority Leader) Sen. Harry Reid, Sen. (Mitch) McConnell and I had an agreement that didn’t have anything to do with a sequester. “But it was going to require another debate about the debt limit. The president made clear he would not sign a bill where he was going to have to deal with the debt limit before he was re-elected, so he came up with this idea to do a sequester.” Boehner said the House of Representatives attempted to replace the sequester tactic with a bill two times last year. “The Senate did nothing. The president did nothing,” Boehner said. “Well, I can tell you how very frustrating it is See BOEHNER/Page 10

Condolences may be expressed to the Fridley family at the funeral home’s website, www.cromesfh.com.

Lehman to host blood drive Thursday Lehman Catholic High School’s Student Council, in cooperation with the Community Blood Center, is sponsoring a blood drive on Thursday. The event will be held in the school’s Harriet K. Gymnasium Frantz during regular school hours. On Thursday, the Community Blood Center will set up a facility in the Lehman gym and the drive will run from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Students and adults who plan to donate need to meet certain criteria: be at least 17 years old (16 with parental permission), weigh at least 110 pounds, and be in general good health. Student athletes are reminded that they should not participate in strenuous activity for 24 hours after donating. Since all slots are filled at this time, community members who wish to donate can email Safreed at m.safreed@Lehmancatholic.com to be placed on the waiting list. Chances are that a few slots will open because of illness. Anyone who wants to donate blood can also contact the Community Blood Center and sign up for another drive in the area. Lehman Catholic held their first blood drive in the spring of 1993 to aid longtime Lehman coach and Business Department Chair Mark Wurm as he was undergoing treatments for cancer. Although Wurm died in early May before the blood drive was held, it was a tremendous success, school officials said. The drives held every year since have been held in his memory. Since Wurm’s death, several other members of the Lehman staff

have succumbed to cancer, including Sister Anna Mae Yunker, a colleague of Wurm who also died in 1993, Dean of Students Robert Grover and assistant wrestling coach Chris Cartwright. Their deaths have given the annual blood drives increased significance. The school now sponsors two blood drives each year. Students who sign up to donate at least three times during their high school careers are presented with a red cord to wear at graduation. Last year’s spring drive had special significance for students as then Lehman junior Connor Richard had been seriously injured in an vehicle accident the month before the drive. His injuries required 28 pints of blood. Students who never considered giving blood prior to the accident stepped up to the challenge after realizing that the blood they donated could actually save the life of a close friend. Richard had a complete recovery and was back on the court with the Cavalier basketball team for his senior season. “They say that every pint donated saves three lives,” said Lehman Student Council adviser Melissa Safreed. “It’s always rewarding to know we are saving the lives of strangers, but it is definitely more personal when someone you know has benefited.” “We had signups for the March Blood Drive at our January Opportunity Day,” Safreed said. “All 80 slots were filled in 15 minutes so now we have a waiting list. I am always so proud of our students and their willingness to give of themselves to help others.”

Plan could cut millions from ESCs DAYTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Centers that provide support services to school districts across Ohio could see tens of millions in combined state funding cuts over two years under Republican Gov. John Kasichâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proposed budget. The potential cuts in funding for the 55 Educational Service Centers, or ESCs, could total up to $91 million and lead to higher charges to districts, the Dayton Daily News reported. The ESCs provide districts with shared services such as speech and physical therapists, school nurses and curriculum and attendance supervisors. Kasich budget spokesman Jim Lynch has said that each center in Ohio would have its state funding cut by 22.5 percent in fiscal year 2014 and 27.2 percent the next fiscal year. Also, funds previously deducted and sent to service centers to support mandated services would be returned to districts. The centers currently are paid $6.50 per pupil for such services as curriculum, gifted supervision and bus driver trainings. They also receive supervisory services funding for curriculum and special education. Under the governorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plan, the state money going to the support centers would instead go to local districts and changes would be made to the way the centersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; governing boards are structured. By law, the centers are not able to put tax levies before voters, so they get most of their revenue from charging other districts for services, according to Craig Burford, executive director of the Ohio Educational Service Center Association. Senate Education Chairwoman Peggy Lehner, a Kettering Re-

publican, says quality differs among centers, and the changes would give everyone the opportunity to buy from the centers with the best services. Those not providing quality services â&#x20AC;&#x153;will have to step up what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing or find themselves going out of business,â&#x20AC;? Lehner said. Montgomery The County support center, which provides services to the 16 school districts in the southwest Ohio county, would lose more than $1 million over the two-year period, the centerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s superintendent Frank DePalma said. DePalma said that will mean increased costs to districts. Bellbrook-Sugarcreek Local Schools Superintendent Keith St. Pierre said he expects to see higher costs for ESC services, if the proposed cuts are made. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s actually a cut to local school districts that are receiving serves from ESCs,â&#x20AC;? St. Pierre said. The centers also provide support to the state in deploying initiatives and to school districts in implementing federal and state mandates. Burford questions what supports would remain to help districts handle requirements the administration and legislatures have placed on them. Those include teacher and principal evaluations, common core state standards and assessments, among others. But Lynch said the governorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plan encourages the centers to â&#x20AC;&#x153;utilize new authorityâ&#x20AC;? to provide administrative services directly to local governments. He said Kasich believes local school districts are in the best position to determine their needs and the changes will allow them more freedom to make those decisions.

DAYTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The U.S. Air Forceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grounding of its Thunderbirds jet demonstration team has put the popular flight eventâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s appearance at this summerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dayton Air Show in jeopardy. The Air Force announced Friday it planned to ground the Thunderbirds if a federal budget deal wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t reached. The team will cease air support to public events April 1 unless something happens to get the budget back on track. Democratic President Barack Obama and congressional Republicans, led by U.S. House Speaker John Boehner of Ohio, were unable to reach a deal Friday. Boehnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s district borders Dayton. The Thunderbirds were scheduled to appear at the Vectren Dayton Air Show on June 22-23. The showâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s executive director told the Dayton Daily News he remains hopeful the Thunderbirds will be able to appear since pilots are still expected to continue to fly this month to keep up their cockpit skills. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The show is going to go on regardless,â&#x20AC;? said director Terry Grevious. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had a number of years where we havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t had a jet team.â&#x20AC;? Grevious said toughly every four years the air show takes place without either the Air Forceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Thunderbirds or the U.S. Navyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Blue Angels. Uncertainty this year over whether the jet teams would be flying has prompted several air shows around the country to cancel, however, including one in Indianapolis.

IN THIS Feb. 15 photo, a man bounces his hand in rhythm as Rabbi Cary Kozberg sings a traditional song during a Kabbalat Shabbat service welcoming the Sabbath at Wexner Heritage House for patients with dementia in Columbus. The service â&#x20AC;&#x201D; not only for religious purposes â&#x20AC;&#x201D; helps the patients recover memories with the help of traditional prayer and song.

Rabbi reaches out to people with dementia COLUMBUS (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Perhaps it was the afternoon sun casting purple, blue and yellow hues through stained glass Maybe it was the upbeat tunes from Rabbi Cary Kozbergâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s guitar. Whatever the inspiration, spirits were among worshippers at the Kabbalat Shabbat service tailored to residents with Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disease and other forms of dementia at the Wexner Heritage House longterm care center. A man raised a hand and rocked to and fro in his wheelchair. One woman, her legs covered by a blue-and-white Star of David blanket, smiled as she sang along. Another tasted the challah and grape juice and joked, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I drink a little wine and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m drunk!â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Today was a good day,â&#x20AC;? Kozberg said after the service as he moved through the room addressing each worshipper by name, grabbing hands and patting shoulders. While some might argue that spiritual care is lost on people with dementia, Kozberg says just the opposite is true. After more than two decades working in the field, he insists: â&#x20AC;&#x153;People with dementia do not

lose their spirituality. They do not lose it.â&#x20AC;? In fact, he said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;a lot of times dementia takes the intellectual filter, and when itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s compromised, the spirit really comes out and people will become so much more human and alive.â&#x20AC;? The rabbi directs spiritual-care efforts at the Wexner Heritage Village campus, which includes Heritage House. He began what he thought would be a one-year stint in 1989 and has since found that the position has given him a chance to be the kind of rabbi he wants to be â&#x20AC;&#x201D; one who works with people who are disenfranchised. He has likened dementia patients to the tablets shattered by Moses â&#x20AC;&#x201D; broken but still

sacred. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even with the loss of memory and executive functioning and reasoning ability, people can still experience joy, they can still experience love, they can still experience respect, they can still relate to people,â&#x20AC;? he said. A 2012 report by the Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Association estimated that 230,000 Ohioans age 65 or older had Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disease, the most common form of dementia, in 2010 and that 250,000 will have the disease in 2025. Of the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s roughly 191,000 nursing-home residents in 2009, 27 percent had very mild or mild cognitive impairment and 42 percent had moderate or severe impairment, the report says.

Third timeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the charm for couple : : : : : - : : : : : and children. Spokeswoman Laurie Schueler said staff do remember a couple of instances where parents wanted to tie the knot by a sick childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bedside. But it was a first for the Rev. Russell Burden, who said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s officiated in a church before but not during his nine-year tenure as the hospitalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chaplain. Before the brief ceremony, the groom paced around the room waiting for his bride-to-be. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m as nervous as I can get,â&#x20AC;? said Smith, 32. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wonder if theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re on their way?â&#x20AC;? A few minutes later, two hospital staffers wheeled Johnson, 33, to the door of the chapel. She walked down the

imaginary aisle, a nurse in tow pushing the IV unit attached to Johnsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leg. Guests sang â&#x20AC;&#x153;do, do, da-doâ&#x20AC;? to the melody of Here Comes the Bride. Afterward, they cheered and rang small fingersized wedding bells and shouted, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Welcome to the family.â&#x20AC;? Schueler said what happened to Johnson is one of the most common reasons people end up at the Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s burn unit. Johnson was frying cheese sticks in a shallow fry pan a week ago when the grease caught fire. Her first instinct was to carry the pan outside, but the draft from the door caused the fire to flare, burning her.

AKRON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The first wedding attempt was in November. Jennifer Johnson and Jimmie Smith had planned some simple nuptials but ended up canceling because she needed a hysterectomy. The second attempt was scheduled for Feb. 25, but five days before they were to exchange their vows, a grease fire landed Johnson in the hospital with second and third degree burns on her left hand. The third time was the proverbial charm. Tired of things getting in the way, the Akron couple said â&#x20AC;&#x153;I doâ&#x20AC;? before 40 friends and family squeezed into the chapel at Akron Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospital. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Do you see how many obstacles keep getting thrown in the way?â&#x20AC;? Johnson said when asked why she didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to wait for her discharge. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Besides, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve both recently been baptized and we live together. We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to live in sin anymore.â&#x20AC;? Hospitals have been known to host weddings before, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a pretty rare occurrence at a childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hospital. The Akron center is one of only two burn centers in the country that treat both adults

OUT OF THE BLUE

Bad rap leads to lockdown AMBRIDGE, Pa. (AP) — Now this is a story all about how a high school student’s life got turned upside down. But it was all just a bad rap. The teen’s voicemail greeting triggered a lockdown at his Pennsylvania school after a receptionist misheard his rendition of “The Fresh Prince of BelAir” theme song. While trying to confirm an appointment with 19year-old Travis Clawson the receptionist thought the message said “shooting people outside of the school.” The line is actually “shooting some b-ball,” a reference to basketball. The receptionist called 911 and Economy police arrested Clawson a short time later at Ambridge Area High School, but released him once he explained the message. Acting police Chief James Mann says police acted “appropriately” out of concern for students’ welfare. Clawson's family has contacted an attorney.

Spending cuts here to stay WASHINGTON (AP) — The spending cuts are here to stay if you believe the public posturing Sunday. The Senate’s Republican leader Mitch McConnell called them modest. House Speaker John Boehner isn’t sure the cuts will hurt the economy. The White House’s top economic adviser, Gene Sperling, said the pain isn’t that bad right now. So after months of dire warnings, Washington didn’t implode, government didn’t shut down and the $85 billion budget trigger didn’t spell doom. And no one has yet crafted a politically viable way to roll back those cuts.

“This modest reduction of 2.4 percent in spending over the next six months is a little more than the average American experienced just two months ago, when their own pay went down when the payroll tax holiday expired,” McConnell said. “I don’t know whether it’s going to hurt the economy or not,” Boehner said. “I don’t think anyone quite understands how the sequester is really going to work.” And Sperling, making the rounds on the Sunday news shows, added: “On Day One, it will not be as harmful as it will be over time.”

Both parties cast blame on the other for the automatic, across-the-board spending cuts but gave little guidance on what to expect in the coming weeks. Republicans and Democrats pledged to retroactively undo the cuts but signaled no hints as to how that process would start to take shape. Republicans insisted there would be no new taxes and Democrats refused to talk about any bargain without them. “That’s not going to work,” said Sen. Kelly Ayotte, R-N.H. “If we’re going to increase revenue again, it’s got to go to the debt with real entitlement re-

form and real tax reform when you actually lower rates. … I’m not going to agree to any more tax increases that are going to go to increase more government.” Sen. Lindsey Graham, RS.C., said any tax increases were unacceptable. “I’m not going to do any more small deals. I’m not going to raise taxes to fix sequestration. We don’t need to raise taxes to fund the government,” Graham said. All of this comes ahead of a new, March 27 deadline that could spell a government shutdown and a debt-ceiling clash coming in May.

MEMBERS OF the Satmar Orthodox Jewish community grieve over the coffins at the funeral for two expectant parents who were killed in a car accident, Sunday in the Brooklyn borough of New York. A driver struck the car the couple were riding in early Sunday morning, killing both parents while their baby, who was born prematurely, survived and is in critical condition.

Expectant parents die in crash; infant survives NEW YORK (AP) — A pregnant young woman who was feeling ill was headed to the hospital with her husband early Sunday when the car they were riding in was hit, killing them both, but their baby boy was born prematurely and survived, authorities and a relative said. The driver of a BMW slammed into the car carrying Nachman and Raizy Glauber, both 21, at an intersection in the Williamsburg neighborhood of Brooklyn, said Isaac Abraham, a neighbor of Raizy Glauber’s parents who lives two blocks from the scene of the crash. Raizy Glauber was thrown from the car and her body landed under a parked tractor-trailer, said witnesses who came to the scene after the crash. Nachman Glauber was pinned in the car, and emergency workers had to cut off the roof to get him out, witnesses said. Both of the Glaubers were pronounced dead at hospitals, police said, and both died of blunt-force trauma, the medical examiner said. Their son was in serious condition, Abraham said. The

hospital did not return calls about the infant. The Glaubers’ livery cab driver was treated for minor injuries at the hospital and was later released. Both the driver of the BMW and a passenger fled and were being sought, police said. On Saturday, Raizy Glauber “was not feeling well, so they decided to go” to the hospital, said Sara Glauber, Nachman Glauber’s cousin. Abraham said the Glaubers called a car service because they didn’t own a car, which is common for New Yorkers. The Glaubers were married about a year ago and had begun a life together in Williamsburg, where Raizy Glauber grew up in a prominent Orthodox Jewish rabbinical family, Sara Glauber said. Raised north of New York City in Monsey, N.Y., and part of a family that founded a line of clothing for Orthodox Jews, Nachman Glauber was studying at a rabbinical college nearby, said his cousin. Brooklyn is home to the largest community of ultraorthodox Jews outside Israel, more than 250,000. The com-

munity has strict rules governing clothing, social customs and interaction with the outside world. Men wear dark clothing that includes a long coat and a fedora-type hat and often have long beards and ear locks. Jewish law calls for burial of the dead as soon as possible, and hours after their deaths, the Glaubers were mourned by at least 1,000 people at a funeral outside the Congregation Yetev Lev D’Satmar synagogue. Men in black hats gathered around the coffins in the middle of the street, while women in bright headscarves stood on the sidewalk, in accordance with the Orthodox Jewish tradition of separating the sexes at religious services. The sound of wailing filled the air as two coffins covered in black velvet with a silver trim were carried from a vehicle. A succession of men and women delivered eulogies in Yiddish, sobbing as they spoke into a microphone about the young couple. “I will never forget you, my daughter!” said Yitzchok Silberstein, Raizy Glauber’s father.

House over sinkhole demolished SEFFNER, Fla. (AP) — Crews on Sunday razed more than half of the Tampa-area home perched over a huge sinkhole that swallowed a man three days ago, managing to salvage some keepsakes for family members who lived there. Jeremy Bush, 35, tried to save his brother, Jeff, when the earth opened up and swallowed him Thursday night. On Sunday morning, Bush and relatives prayed with a pastor as the home — where he lived with his girlfriend, Rachel Wicker; their daughter, Hannah, 2; and others — was demolished and waited for firefighters to salvage anything possible from inside. Early Sunday morning, just before the demolition began, Bush and an unidentified woman knelt and prayed at the mailbox in front of the home, owned by Leland Wicker, Rachel’s grandfather, since the 1970s. After praying, Bush and the woman walked across the street to a neighbor’s lawn to watch the demolition. The operator of the heavy equipment worked gingerly, first taking off a front wall.

Family belongings were scooped onto the lawn gently in hopes of salvaging parts of the family’s 40-year history in the home. As of Sunday afternoon — when demolition had stopped for the day and only a few walls of the home remained — a Bible, family photos, a jewelry box and a pink teddy bear for Hannah were among the items saved. Firefighters also were able to pick out the purse of one of the women in the home. Cheers went up from family, friends and neighbors each time something valuable was salvaged. Wanda Carter, the daughter of Leland Wicker, cradled the large family Bible in her arms. She said her mother and father had stored baptism certificates, cards and photos between the pages of that Bible over the years. “It means that God is still in control, and He knew we needed this for closure,” she said, crying. Carter said she spent from age 11 to 20 in the home, and she had to close her eyes as the home was knocked down.

LONDON (AP) — Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II was hospitalized Sunday over an apparent stomach infection that has ailed her for days, a rare instance of ill health sidelining the long-reigning monarch. Elizabeth will have to cancel a visit to Rome and other engagements as she recovers, and outside experts said she may have to be rehydrated intravenously. Buckingham Palace said the 86-year-old queen had experienced symptoms of gastroenteritis and was being examined at London’s King Edward VII Hospital — the first time in a decade that Elizabeth has been hospitalized. “As a precaution, all official engagements for this week will regrettably be either postponed or cancelled,” the palace said in a statement. Elizabeth’s two-day trip to Rome had been planned to start Wednesday. A spokeswoman said the trip may be “reinstated” at a later date. The symptoms of gastroenteritis — vomiting and diarrhea — usually pass after one or two days, although they can be more severe in older or otherwise vulnerable people. Dehydration is a common complication. The illness was first announced Friday, and Elizabeth had to cancel a visit Swansea, Wales, on Saturday to present leeks — a national symbol — to soldiers of the Royal Welsh Regiment in honor of Wales’ national day, St. David’s Day. She instead spent the day trying to recover at Windsor Castle, but appears to have had trouble kicking the bug.

Catholics ponder future with pope SAO PAULO (AP) — Faithful attending Sunday Mass on five continents for the first time since Pope Benedict XVI’s retirement had different ideas about who should next lead the Roman Catholic Church, with people suggesting everything from a Latin American pope to one more like the conservative, Polish-born John Paul II. What most agreed on, however, was the church is in dire need of a comeback. Clergy sex abuse scandals and falling numbers of faithful have taken their toll on the church, and many parishioners said the next pope should be open about the problems rather than ignore them. Worshippers in the developing world prayed for a pope from a poorer, non-European nation, while churchgoers in Europe said what was more important was picking a powerful figure who could stop the steep losses in Catholic numbers. Some South African Catholics called for what they said was a more pragmatic approach to contraception given the AIDS epidemic devastating that continent. They also suggested ending the celibacy requirement for priests, insisting on what’s viewed as the traditional importance of a man having a family.

Lehman students get creative with Shakespeare’s ‘Julius Caesar’ Getting today’s students excited about Shakespeare is a challenge, and getting excited about an ancient Roman figure like Julius Caesar is an even bigger hurdle for English teachers. Through some creative lesson planning, both Caesar and Shakespeare have come to life for sophomores in Liz Maxson’s English classes at Lehman Catholic High School. “The students used a plethora of ways to interpret Shakespeare this year,” said Maxson. “Eggs were stabbed, sock puppets were conspirators, Nerf guns replaced Roman swords, and news reporters brought us the latest breaking news from Rome.” After they finished reading “The Tragedy of Julius Caesar” by William Shakespeare, the students were divided into groups. Each group selected a scene to reenact. They could use the original text or rewrite or modernize the language. Modernization was a more popular option this year. Before the students could present their scene, a typed copy of their revised script had to be submitted. Students were encouraged to use costumes and props, whatever was needed to

SOPHOMORES ROCCA Catanzarite (l-r), Jake Watkins, Erik Jackson, and Jennifer Kaeck act a scene from Shakespeare’s “Julius Caesar” during a recent English class at Lehman Catholic High School. effectively present their scene to the class. One group used sock puppets to act out the scene. Another group appointed one student to portray Julius Caesar as the dictator of a school, and they encouraged audience participation from their classmates in the form of paper wads to pelt the unpopular leader. Many scenes chosen involved the death of the three major characters from Shakespeare’s original work: Caesar, Bru-

tus and Cassius. One group incorporated the idea of modern gang warfare. Several groups used the format of a newscast, reporting on Brutus’ death as the scene was being acted out by group members. “No presentation was the same, even when groups chose the same scene,” said Maxson. “They had no idea what the other groups were preparing.” The time frame for the assignment was short. Groups met one

Beck’s winning essay received such comments from the committee members as: “What an outstanding essay!” “This HS essay is hands-down one of the best I have ever read.” “I love her statement, ‘I can hold my head up high knowing that I am not just a label, a race, or a name. I am human. I am American.’” “Her ending was bril-

liant: ‘We are the children, we are the dream, and we will rise.’ This made the perfect tie-in to her title.” Beck was recognized at Edison’s Celebration of Freedom’s Struggle event on Feb. 4 that honored the 150th anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation and 50th anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s march in Washington. Beck also received a $50 prize for the essay. Beck’s essay

touches on her personal life, being biracial and raised by her white mother. In her essay, she speaks to the freedoms that all Americans take for granted and how understanding black history is more universal than that of just being African-American and understanding the struggles of your ancestors — it is the understanding of triumph for all humankind in the battle of equality.

for granted, freedoms that African-Americans were considered not worthy of. I will carry out the hopes of those who fought and died for my freedom, white and black alike. All those people fought for was the one simple thing: equality. One of the best teachers in equality is none other than Martin Luther King Jr. Not only did he fight a nonviolent fight for the rights of African-Americans but he did not discriminate against whites. His speech, “I Have a Dream,” inspired people across the nation, and maybe the whole world. Not only was it a key in the civil rights movement, but it still applies today. It teaches America so many lessons. Looking back at the years of African-American with all of the struggles and pain, as a people, we have been getting somewhere but the work is far from done. Dr. King taught young African-Americans to be leaders in the right way. Violence is not always the answer. Change is more noticeable through peace and clearly getting your voice heard. He is also a prime example of human integrity. He has been falsely arrested,

beaten, and had constant death threats that eventually took his life. But never once did he regret the choices that he made. He stood firm in his beliefs and that is something everyone should do, not only as African-Americans, but as people. Black, white, Hispanic, Asian, no matter where we live, what we do or what we believe, we are all humans. We all deserve rights that people have fought for year after year. So in the end black history to me does not only mean the freedom of African-Americans because it is so much more than that. It is a struggle, it is bloodshed, and it is tears. Black history is triumph, happiness and joy. Black history is pride and love. Not only love for African-Americans but people as a whole. It is being able to find the good in people and fighting for their right to share it with the world. And as Dr. King once said, ” I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.” We are the children, we are the dream, and we will rise.

We Will Rise What does black history really mean to me? That is a question that I never really thought about. Learning in school about life as a slave and segregation, it all seemed like a ghostly past; something I could not relate to. Yes, I am African-American, but being single-handedly raised by a white mother, the history of my people was not relevant. In fact, I felt that if my father could abandon me so easily, then why should I care about that part of my heritage. I felt as if historical figures like Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Rosa Parks were just that, history. Whenever the subject came up in school, I wanted to hide. I don’t want to be grouped in with that. That is not me, that is not my history. Then one day I took the time to stop and think. I had been so blinded by the hurt I felt as a child that I began to discriminate against my own people. I forgot to take the time and think. Two hundred and thirty years ago my ancestor could have been slaving in a field, and the thought of freedom was just a silly dream. One hundred and fifty

years ago my ancestor could have been fighting in a Civil War awaiting their freedom. Fifty years ago my ancestor could have been segregated from society and active in the civil rights movement. The silent cries at night, the punches taken, the hateful stares, the bloodshed — that was for me. It was not for a lost cause. It was so that African-Americans can walk down the street, drink from any water fountain they like, and go to any school they choose. Like Maya Angelou said, “Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave, I am the dream and the hope of the slave. I rise. I rise. I rise.” To me, black history is not just something people learn in history month, black history is farfetched dreams coming to life, bloodshed for a cause, a fight for justice and most importantly, the hope to overcome and rise. I find it so easy to forget where we all came from. All of America came from somewhere seeking something more. Some were left for safety, some for freedom, some were forced. Today living in the hustle of life, so overwhelmed but keeping up to date, of

being in the now, we forget to think about how we got where we are. The strength and courage it took to get here. How different it was, all the pain that was endured. As African-Americans we should not feel ashamed or hurt by our past. We should be a proud people. The slave in the field working from sunrise to sunset could have been me. The dream and the passion to read and write is a dream I plan to carry out for the slaves of my people. Not only is there a dream I plan to carry out, there is hope. Years ago, walking on whatever side of the street you wanted was not an easy task. People could be beaten for drinking out of the wrong water fountain or eating at the wrong restaurant. Today I can walk, eat, drink, or learn wherever I please. I can hold my head up high knowing that I am not just a label, a race, or a name. I am human. I am American. I truly believe that is what slaves wanted, to be human, not property. There were people who gave up their lives for my freedoms. Today, freedoms that every American citizen most likely takes

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

When did God become the man, Jesus? To the editor: This past month Catholics from around the world celebrated not only the arrival of the 2013 new year, but also the feast day, Mary, Mother of God. This feast day reminds us that God chose the Blessed Mother from all time to house in her womb, Jesus, his only begotten Son. When did Jesus, who was always God, become man? Was it at the moment of his birth? Or was it from the moment of conception? When we read Sacred Scripture, we get a clearer picture of how and when God became man. In John, the Word of God, who was in the beginning, became flesh and dwelt among us. In Luke, that the virgin was to conceive and bear a son by the power of the Holy Spirit coming upon Mary. And in Matthew, when Joseph found Mary to be with child he wanted to divorce her, but was encouraged in a dream to take Mary as his wife and to have no fear, because, “. . . It is by the Holy Spirit that she has conceived this child.” At the very moment of her consent, Mary’s womb became the tabernacle for the Incarnation, or the Word made flesh, who is Jesus. At the very moment of conception Jesus became man. And so it is with us. When we speak of the sanctity of life, both born and yet to be born, we need to remember these truths: We are conceived in partnership with God and become his child at the very moment of our conception. We are both body and soul. Each child has from the beginning his own DNA, his own identity as a son or daughter, his own personality. Each child is destined for eternal life and to be with God in heaven forever. Just as Jesus began His earthly journey in the tabernacle of Mary’s womb, each child begins his eternal journey in the tabernacle of his mother’s womb. Jesus says to each of us, born and unborn, “I created you, I know you, I love you, and I have prepared a place for you in heaven so that you might be where I am.” Killing a child in the tabernacle of the mother’s womb is an abomination in the eyes and heart of God, our father and our creator. We must fast and pray to put an end to abortion. Jill O’Leary 324 E. Ruth St.

Celebrate Disabilities Awareness Month To the editor: Growing up, I had never been around someone with a developmental disability. In May of 2000 I applied for a job as a transportation monitor for Shelby County Board of Developmental Disabilities. That job changed my life. I admit I was a little apprehensive at first, not quite knowing what to expect. As I was introduced to the individuals I would be working with, one thing was abundantly clear, they all had the most welcoming positive attitude. I took that moment to look beyond their disability and get to know each individual. I made new friends. They let me share in their joys and their triumphs. Knowing them has enriched my life and made me a better person. It fills my heart with great pride and joy to have each of them as my friends. March is Developmental Disabilities Awareness month. The theme this year is “Look Beyond.” I would like to share my experience with you as to what can happen if you take the time to do just that. Due to health reasons, I no longer work at that job, but those friendships remain strong. I challenge each of you to make an effort to meet these individuals in our community and “look beyond.” I think you will be truly amazed at the new friend you will find. I’ll close this out with a quote I think we can all learn from. It should apply not only to yourself but also those around you: “Set your sights on your potential, not your problems. You’ll be amazed at what you see.” Jennie Sanford 16998 Deam Road

By leveraging existing infrastructure and pockets of innovation across the country, NNMI provides small businesses with access to the tools and expertise needed to compete in the global economy. This will create regional magnets for cutting-edge research, talented students, and additional investments. And we’ve already started to bring people and organizations together to spur 21st century innovation. Last year, we were able to bring the firstof-its-kind National Additive Manufacturing Innovation Institute (NAMII) to the Mahoning Valley — to the “Tech Belt” that extends from Cleveland to Pittsburgh. NAMII is a $70 million public-private partnership that can make Youngstown a world leader in new

manufacturing technology — like 3-D printing. As the president mentioned in his address, “A once shuttered warehouse (in Youngstown) is now a state-of-the-art lab where new workers are mastering the 3-D printing that has the positional to revolutionize the way we make almost everything.” Collaboration is critical for our success — and an NNMI would provide small businesses and research institutions access to the tools and expertise needed to compete in the global economy. And it can also spur the creation of regional hubs of advanced manufacturing throughout the U.S. American workers have the drive, the creative thinking, and the determination to out-innovate the rest of the world.

The New York Times on mortgage relief: A year ago, when the nation's biggest banks settled with state and federal officials over claims of foreclosure abuses, the public was led to believe that the deal would allow millions of hard-pressed borrowers to escape the threat of foreclosure. It still hasn't happened. A third progress report was issued recently by the monitor of the settlement, which, among its terms, required the banks to grant $25 billion worth of mortgage relief, much of it by reducing the principal balances on troubled loans. The report showed that through the end of 2012, 71,000 borrowers had their primary mortgages modified, versus 170,000 who received help on their second mortgages, including To the editor: home equity loans.

That way, anyone who is unemployed and looking for a job will know immediately where to look, rather than having to navigate a patchwork of different resources. House Bill 2 also is aimed at getting more people back to work by making it easier for jobseekers to take advantage of potential job opportunities. First, before a person applies for unemployment insurance, he or she must register with the “Ohio Means Jobs” website. From there, he or she will receive weekly notices of job openings that can easily put him in contact with employers. Second, by the eighth

week of receiving unemployment benefits, applicants will be required to make direct contact with their “Ohio Means Jobs” office. This will ensure that applicants are making the most of their job search opportunities and, ultimately, gaining employment once again. Ronald Reagan once said, “The best possible social program is a job.” There are obviously times when people are down on their luck and need help. But it is in everyone’s best interest for these occurrences to be rare and short-lived.

In general, the holder of a second lien gets nothing when a home is worth less than the mortgage bal-

Which animals come out of hibernation first? Every animal has a unique way of handling Conservation the grueling winter months and hibernain the county tion is just one of many ways used to ward off the blustery weather! As most of us know, birds are able to migrate south till the warmth of spring invites them back to their homes. Bats, which are flying mammals, also migrate, but once they reach the destination, typically the states just south of Ohio, they will also hibernate in caves that their ancestors have occupied for generations. When the temperatures become very low skunks, raccoons, chipmunks and opossums are capable of going into a temporary hibernation, basically a deep sleep, which typically lasts for five days. The only two true hibernators that stay in Ohio without migrating are black bears and woodchucks (aka: groundhogs). Black bear hibernation can last up to 7 1/2 months and groundhogs, whose hibernation typically lasts 5 months, are the first hibernating animals to appear in the spring when the weather starts to break in February. During hibernation, a groundhog is able to reduce its body temperature by almost half and reduce its normal heart rate, 160 beats per minute, to 4 beats per minute. An animal that is typically viewed as a nuisance has remarkable ways to help it survive the winter! How do mosquitoes survive through the winter? Mosquitoes, even though they are a nuisance and can carry a variety of diseases, are a very remarkable insect. All mosquitoes need water for their development and typically the adult female lays her eggs in standing water, the eggs become larva then the larva become the blood sucking adults we are all familiar with. Preparing for the winter months is a little more complex and mosquitoes have different ways to ensure survival. In late summer or early fall, adult females will lay their eggs in moist soil or standing water. Some of these eggs remain as eggs through the winter while some will develop to the larval stage and survive the winter in this stage. Both the eggs and larva enter into a process called diapause, which actually slows down or stops the development of the egg or larva for several months. The process of diapause reduces the egg and larvae’s need for nutrients when the surrounding environment is frozen, since all mosquitoes need water to develop. Some eggs that have entered diapause are able to dry out for a long period of time and once the egg becomes moist again it will start its development to become an adult. This not only ensures survival through the winter, but if there is a severe drought, the mosquito can stick around even when the conditions are unfavorable. The other process that mosquitoes use to survive is a form of hibernation called torpor. The adult female will breed in later summer or early fall and enter hollow logs, animal burrows, or basements of homes to survive the winter. If you ever have a mosquito buzzing around your house in February, your home may have been picked as a great place to over winter!

Ohio Department of Agriculture, Ohio FFA announce grant program REYNOLDSBURG — Local FFA chapters can now apply for their chance to receive grants to help fund community development projects through the 2013 Agricultural and Rural Community Outreach Program. The program, jointly administered by the Ohio FFA Foundation, Ohio FFA Association and the Ohio Department of Agriculture, will award grants to chapters with top-ranking projects. “FFA not only helps shape future agricultural leaders, but it also generates a qualified workforce to fill jobs created by the state’s top industry – food and agriculture,” said Ohio Department of Agriculture Director David T. Daniels. “The Ohio Department of Agriculture is proud to partner with the Ohio FFA Foundation and Association to

help youth improve their local communities and to keep agriculture strong in Ohio.” Local FFA chapters can submit project proposals until May 15 to the Ohio FFA Foundation. A committee will then select projects to receive grant funds ranging from $750 to $2,500. Grant winners will be notified by May 30. “Through the Agricultural and Rural Community Outreach Program, FFA can develop partnerships with other groups and organizations while taking a leadership role to make the community a better place to live and work. Using state, national and international activities, a chapter and its members can serve as catalysts to improve the community’s economic, environmental and human resources,” said

Melissa Bell, director, Ohio FFA Foundation. “We are very excited about the opportunities this grant will create for local chapters and communities.” FFA is a national organization dedicated to preparing youth for leadership and careers in science, business and technology in agriculture. It is an integral part of the high school curriculum in more than 300 schools across Ohio and provides practical, hands-on learning and leadership experience for students interested in pursuing careers in agriculture. The program is funded by a $38,000 grant provided by the Ohio Department of Agriculture through the Ohio Rural Rehabilitation fund. For more information on grant guidelines or to apply, go to www.ohioffa.org.

Association elects officers at meeting COLUMBUS — The Ohio Christmas Tree Association recently wrapped up a very successful Winter Meeting at the Newark campus of The Ohio State University. This year’s photo contest showcased the talents of the members. Manners Pine Tree Lodge located in Ashtabula County walked away with the top honors in the photo competition. The OCTA board of Directors also met prior to the winter meeting. Leadership for the upcoming year includes

the following: • President Carl Yeager of Storeyland Christmas Tree Farm in Trumbull County. • Vice President Dave Reese of Kaleidoscope Farms (Hancock County). • Secretary Mary Jan Perdulla of Pioneer Trails Tree Farm (Mahoning County). • Treasurer Avery Wilcox III of Wilcox Farms (Lorain County) Each year the OCTA recognizes an individual that goes beyond the call of duty to promote the Christmas tree industry.

This year the association inducted Joel Berry of Twinsberry Farm in Wayne County as the OCTA Hall of Fame inductee. The Christmas Tree plantation grew from an original 5 acres up to the current 40 acres that they now manage in cooperation with his son, Scott, and his wife, Ashley, and his daughter, Christina, and her husband Paul Martin. The tree farm is home to Canaan Fir, Fraser Fir, Fir, Blue Concolor Spruce, White Spruce, Norway Spruce, Serbian

Spruce, Scotch and White Pine. Their emphasis is on raising quality Christmas Trees using as few chemicals as possible. Their aim is to create a non-monoculture forest of confers which remains healthy, establishing a deep root system supported by Mychorriza. This is possible due to a mixed species and uneven aged tree management philosophy. This natural phenomenon of Mychorriza is not possible when copious amounts of chemicals are supplied to the soils.

You can lead a horse to water but you can’t make them drink it.” After the laughter in the room died down, Boehner said the next step the House of Representatives will take is to propose a bill to continue to run the government through March 27, when it technically runs out of funds. “Hopefully out of this discussion, hopefully we can actually go to conference and maybe come up with an agreement to deal with the long-term structural spending problem that we have,” Boehner said. “At some point the president has to stop campaigning and actually lead and be honest with the American people on what has to be done.” When Boehner was asked about the Farm Bill and if it would take another year to pass, Boehner quipped, “I hope not.” “I’ve talked to the chairman and the ranking member of the (agriculture) committee, I’m very hopeful we’ll get the Farm Bill finished this year,” Boehner said. Boehner also updated the crowd of approximately 150 people from the Miami, Darke, Mercer and Clark counties about the Keystone Pipeline project. Boehner said the U.S. State Department issued a report Friday about the concerns and benefits of the project. which didn’t give its position on the crude oil pipeline from Canada through the Dakotas, Nebraska, Montana and Oklahoma to Texas, Missouri and Illinois. “The environmental-

Schafer shared his home state of North Dakota’s experience with its recent oil boom and how the state has $2 billion in savings and only 2 percent unemployment through less government.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — It wasn’t exactly a mighty victory, but “Jack the Giant Slayer” won the weekend at the box office. The Warner Bros. 3-D action extravaganza, based on the Jack and the Beanstalk legend, made just $28 million to debut at No. 1, according to Sunday studio estimates. It had a reported budget of just under $200 million. “Jack” comes from Bryan Singer, director of “The Usual Suspects” and the first two “X-Men” movies. It stars Nicholas Hoult, Ewan McGregor, Ian McShane and Stanley Tucci. Among other new releases, the college romp “21 & Over” from Relativity Media made only $9 million this weekend to open in third place.

Jeff Goldstein, Warner Bros.’ executive vice president of theatrical distribution, said “Jack the Giant Slayer” opened lower than the studio had hoped, but he’s encouraged by its CinemaScore, which was a B-plus overall and an A among viewers under 18. One bit of good news for “Jack” is that it had a 56-percent uptick from Friday to Saturday, suggesting strong word-of-mouth and more family audiences for the PG-13 adventure. “That tells us that the audiences that are seeing it really do like it,” Goldstein said. “The international opening in Asia has been very strong — the 3D component of the special effects works in a big way outside the domestic marketplace.”

The Farm Forum also included panel discussion led by Jim Zehringer, director of the Ohio Department of Nature Resources. Panel members included Under Secretary for Farm and Foreign Agricultural Services Michael Scuse; John Campbell, senior vice president of industrial products and government relations for Ag Processing Inc.; Jerry Flint, Pioneer vice president of biotech affairs; and William Hoffman of the National Corn Growers Association. A few protesters waved signs against Boehner’s stance on issues ranging from the Keystone Pipeline, healthcare and agriculture practices outside of Edison State Community College at the Looney Road entrance Saturday.

HOROSCOPE BY FRANCES DRAKE For Tuesday, March 5, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Avoid controversial subjects like politics, religion and racial issues today. People feel irritable and uncooperative, and they certainly are not inclined to agree. (Oops.) TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Disputes about shared property, mortgages, loans, taxes, debt, insurance matters and anything you own with others are likely today. It is much better to postpone these discussions until tomorrow. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Discussions with partners and close friends are all over the map today. It will be difficult to nail things down and come to an agreement. Therefore, wait until tomorrow; the vibes will be much better. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Today is full of delays, shortages and silly inefficiencies. Goofy mistakes will be frustrating. Fortunately, tomorrow is a more productive day. (Courage.) LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) This can be a creative day if you have the patience to deal with setting up whatever you want to do and doing the work to get the results you want. Nevertheless, little errors will plague you. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Relations with female family members are touchy today. This is a very poor day for sensitive discussions with anyone. Run away! Run away! LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) This is a mildly accident-prone day, because you might be distracted by your own angry feelings about something. But this means you have control over the situation. Patience! SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) It’s easy to be quarrelsome about financial matters and cash flow. You also might quarrel about a possession or the ownership of something. Chill out. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Today the Moon is in your sign, but it is at odds with fiery Mars. Look out, world! People are short-tempered and impatient today. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) You might be doing a slow burn about something. You’re upset, but you feel you can’t speak up. (This is always frustrating.) AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Avoid angry words with a female acquaintance today, especially in a group setting, because you will regret it. Just back off. Take note: Tomorrow is an excellent day to make plans. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Don’t get lippy with authority figures today, because you could end up in hot water. (The only thing that should be in hot water is a teabag — certainly not you.) YOU BORN TODAY You live in two worlds: Outwardly, you appear debonair, charming and sophisticated. Lighthearted, even. Yet inwardly, you are serious, dramatic and dark. Nevertheless, you’re amazingly productive and creative. You live life intensely and never hesitate to act when you know what you want. In your year ahead, a major change might take place, perhaps as significant as what might have occurred around 2004. Birthdate of: Dean Stockwell, actor; Eva Mendes, actress; Rex Harrison, actor.

March 4, 1913 W.E. Baumgardner, of Russia, has moved to Sidney, and will engage in the implement business in the room on Main Avenue formerly occupied by S.D. Crumbaugh. He will handle a complete line of farm implements, having been appointed agent for the McCormick branch of the International Harvester Co. and also agent for the Seidell buggy. Mr. Baumgardner was in the implement business in Russia for four years, the firm being Baumgardner and Francis. ——— At the meeting of the Sidney Lodge of Elks last evening, the following officers were elected for the ensuing year: George L. Bush, exalted ruler: O.S. Kenny, esteemed leading knight; Frank Smith, esteemed loyal knight; Roy Klipstine, esteemed lecturing knight; J.L. Dickensecretary; sheets, Charles F. Yager, treasurer; Henry Shaffer, tyler; Dennis F. Hoban, trustee.

75 years March 4, 1938 C.E. Swauger, 73, is suffering from shock and a badly fractured right leg sustained when he fell a distance of five feet into the elevator shaft of the Sexauer Bakery, Inc. on West Poplar Street this morning. He was removed to the hospital in an unconscious condition. Apparently the aged man opened a rear door in the building and after getting inside became confused and walked into the shaft.

As far as screening goes, it would be reasonable to screen first-degree relatives (meaning your siblings and your brother’s and sister’s children) somewhere around the age of 60. I also would consider taking another look at your aorta, especially if you were ever a smoker or had high blood pressure. If not, or if the repeat shows no dilation at all, then your risk is low. DEAR DR. ROACH: I have been diagnosed with diverticulosis, and have been advised that I am at risk of developing diverticulitis. Can you elaborate on precisely what each of these diagnoses consists of, the level of risk involved in moving from one to the other and what I might do to mitigate such risk? Thanks in advance for your help. — V.L. ANSWER: Diverticula are small outpouchings in the wall of the colon. The condition of having them is called diverticulosis. These can cause problems most commonly through infection and by bleeding.

When they become inflamed, usually through infection, it is called diverticulitis — the “itis” indicating “inflammation.” Eschewing nuts and seeds has long been recommended to prevent diverticulitis, although one recent study questioned whether this is important. Diverticulitis usually is associated with both pain and fever, and is treated with antibiotics. Many surgeons recommend removal of the affected part of the colon, if possible, after an episode of diverticulitis, since the likelihood of recurrence is high. Bleeding usually comes from diverticulosis without diverticulitis. Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible.

Loramie cruises into regional Coasts past F-M 82-42 in district finals TIPP CITY — FranklinMonroe tried to stun the Fort Loramie Lady Redskins early with long-range shooting, but the effect was short-lived. Loramie easily weathered the barrage and went on to dominate the Lady Jets in a lopsided Division IV District championship game, 82-41 Saturday afternoon. The win put the Lady Redskins at 23-3 on the season and earned them a return ticket to the regional tournament starting Thursday back at Tipp City. The opponent will be a familiar one in neighborhood rival Marion Local. The two teams met in the season opener way back on Nov. 24, and Loramie came away wth a 78-75 victory at Marion. They will meet Thursday night at 7 p.m., with the winner advancing to the regional finals Saturday at 7:30 against either Tri-Village or Mechanicsburg. Franklin-Monroe, which finished the season 12-13, hit three three-pointers in the opening quarter. “When they hit those three threes, I was thinking ‘oh no.’ But I think we responded well and made some changes, and got the girls back a little quicker on defense,” said Fort Loramie coach Carla Siegel. By the end of the quarter, the Lady Redskins were clicking, with a 20-12 lead. They then outscored the outclassed Lady Jets 25-11 in the second quarter for a 45-23 bulge at the half. “Every time you win a district title, it’s nice,” she added. “We don’t take anything for granted and it’s a wonderful experience for all the players to play in this atmosphere. And cutting down the net? I remember in my playing days,

Siegel also praised the play of guard Meg Westerheide, who had six assists, six rebounds and four steals. “She played a heckuva defensive

Anna routs Badin in D-III final BY KEN BARHORST kbarhorst@civitasmedia.com SPRINGFIELD — Anna head girls coach Jack Billing doesn’t leave a stone unturned when preparing his Lady Rockets for an upcoming opponent, especially this time of year. So going into Saturday’s district final with what he learned from scouting Hamilton Badin “about five times,” he figured his daughter Natalie, the outstanding senior post player, “could have a hay day.” He was right. “Usually, we put her on top (in the press break), but we thought she could beat them down the floor and get some easy buckets,” he said. And that’s just what happened. Billing had her way inside, and was the beneficiary of some outstanding passes, mainly from Erica Huber and Kayla Blankenship. When it was over, Billing had poured in 25 points and the Lady Rockets had posted another easy victory, 64-35, as they continued to churn toward a third straight state tournament appearance. Anna will open play Wednesday in what promises to be a competitive Division III Regional Tournament. The Lady Rockets take on Miami East in the second game Wednesday night back at Springfield High School at 8 p.m. Miami East is 24-1 on SDN Photo/Luke Gronneberg the year and that lone loss ANNA’S NATALIE Billing goes up between two Hamilton Badin players for a rebound in action came at Anna back on Dec. 22 Saturday in the Division III District championship at Springfield.

JC gets by Houston to win sectional BY ROB KISER Civitas Media PIQUA — The Jackson Center boys basketball team showed why it is on its way to a second straight long tournament run. And Houston made them work for everything they got in the Piqua Division IV lower bracket sectional final Saturday night at Garbry Gymnasium. The Wildcats played right with the Tigers for the better part of three quarters, before Jackson Center was able to finish off a 51-39 victory. Jackson Center will play Cincinnati Christian in a D-IV district final at 8:30 p.m. Tuesday night at U.D. Arena. “That’s what an experienced team is supposed to do,” Jackson Center coach Scott Elchert said. “That’s what we coach them to do. To play through situations like that.” And while Jackson Center improved to 21-4 and Houston closed at 1014, you would have thought teams of similar records were playing. The Wildcats trailed just 3937 with 3:31 remaining. “That’s one of the things I told the kids after the game,” Houston coach John Willoughby said. “I am really proud of the way they played. They did everything they could have possibly done against them. It was a gutty effort.” Houston took an early 6-2 lead, but with Trey Elchert burying consecutive threes, the Tigers moved in front 15-9 by the end of the quarter. But the Wildcats limited Jackson Center to one field goal and four points in the second quarter, and when Jesse Phlipot hit a three, the Wildcats led 18-15 midway through the quarter. But Houston would not score the rest of the

half and when Joey Frye got free inside, Jackson Center was able to take a 19-18 halftime lead. Again, the Tigers appeared to be pulling away in the third quarter, when Gavin Wildermuth’s basket gave them a 25-20 lead. Houston then responded with seven straight points — with Nate Ritchie’s putback putting the Wildcats up 27-25 at the 4:50 mark of the quarter. The Tigers opened a 37-30 lead by quarter’s end, before one last run by Houston. Ritchie started it with a three and Phlipot and T.J. Martin scored off a Phlipot assist to cut the deficit to 39-37 with 3:31 left. “I thought Nate stepped up Ritchie tonight and showed what he can do,” Willoughby said. Jackson Center did what good teams do at that point — led by their guards, the Tigers outscored Houston 12-2 the rest of the way, making 10 of 14 free throws in the fourth quarter. “We feel like our guards are the strength of the team,” Elchert said. “That’s just the way it has to be.” That showed as Alex Meyer, Elchert and Gavin Wildermuth combined for 41 points. Meyer had 19, Elchert scored 11 and Wildermuth’s 11 included seven of eight from the line in the final quarter. Eric Ryder pulled down nine rebounds. Phlipot led Houston with 16 points and seven rebounds, while Ritchie added 12 points. Jackson Center was 15 of 44 from the floor for 34 percent and 17 of 23 from the line. In contrast, Houston made 17 of 39 shots from the floor for 44 percent, but missed all four of its free throw attempts.

HOUSTON’S NATE Ritchie drives on Jackson Center’s Levi Winner in Division IV Sectional final action at Piqua Saturday. Jackson Center won to advance to the district championship. Three of those came late in fourth quarter. “I know we had to foul at the end,” Willoughby said. “But it’s hard to make up 23 free throws to four. I don’t really understand what was going on. We were taking the ball inside all game and they only had three fouls (in the second half) with

a minute to go.” With just one senior, Willoughby can smile about the future. “I feel really good about this team,” he said. “We still have to work hard in the summer. But, I feel really good about this group of kids and what we have coming back.”

Marion ousts Minster 53-41 ANNA ST. MARYS — Marion Local outscored Minster 16-9 in a key third quarter and went on to beat the Lady Wildcats 53-41 in a Division IV District girls basketball championship game here Saturday night. Marion Local, which has won 12 of its last 13 games and is now 19-7 on the year, advances to the D-IV Regional at Tipp City Thursday at 7 p.m. to face Fort Loramie, a team it lost to in the season opener by three. Minster ends its season at 17-8. Marion scored the final bucket of the first half on a stickback to lead 22-19 at the intermission, but after three periods, the Lady Flyers had stretched the margin out to 38-28. Minster was done in by shooting woes, hitting just 16-for-46 for 35 percent. Those struggles carried over to free throws as well as the Lady Wildcats were just 7-for-16. Marion Local was 18for-37 from the field for 49 percent and 15-for-21 from the line. The Lady Flyers also dominated the glass, outrebounding Minster 37-19. Brooke Winner had a double-double for the Lady Flyers, with 17 points and 12 rebounds. Cadence Jacobs added 13 points and Allie Thobe 12. For Minster, Kayla Richard led with 14 and Claire Fischer and

Middletown Madison, which beat Anna 66-56 in Middletown on Jan. 26, takes on Fayetteville Perry. Madison is 23-2 and Perry 24-1. The winners of Wednesday’s games come back Saturday at 1:30 to play for a state berth. Anna started off slow, with Badin applying a lot of pressure. Badin was able to take an early 4-2 lead, but that would change quickly. Billing was having a big first quarter with eight points, and when she missed a free throw and Cayla Bensman grabbed the rebound and stuck it back in, it capped a 12-0 run and made it 14-4. Badin never threatened after that. A Huber three-pointer made it 17-6 and Anna added another bucket for a 19-6 lead after a quarter. By the half, the score was doubled at 35-17. “We’d put about nine girls on the court during practice and press the starters,” said Billing. “We knew they would come out and press us all over the floor. They double and tripled-teamed Erica.” The Lady Rockets had a good shooting day, hitting 50 percent on 27for-54.

Last Friday was a wonderful day for a guy f r o m S h e l b y County who loves baseball, namely me. I went to Surprise to the see Reds play Hoying the Kansas City Royals and got my own surprise when approaching the ballpark. The Royals share that park with the Texas Rangers, who have Fort Loramie outfielder Jared Hoying in the upper levels of their farm system. I walked next to the Rangers team bus which was ready to head elsewhere. Jared saw me and quickly emerged to reveal he was playing with the “big boys” on short notice on this day in nearby Peoria against Seattle. Since Hoying would not enter the game until the later innings I responded, “I'll watch the Reds for two innings then catch you in Peoria.” I was excited to see his 2013 debut and also

his first career extended appearance in a big league spring training game. I went to his parents’ wedding and have known him since he was born. His mother's parents were great friends of mine. No way was I missing this. In the bottom of the sixth inning he ran out to left field wearing number 19 with “HOYING” on the back. It may only be spring training but this was special. Statistically he played four innings, handled no outfield chances, and was 0-for-2 at the plate. Didn't matter to me. A friend from back home in Shelby County was playing for the Texas Rangers and I was there. So were his parents, Bill and Sue. My temporary home was only three miles away. My windows were down and the weather was gorgeous as I listened to some favorite songs on the drive south. A nice end to a special day. —— Dave Ross is a frequent contributor to the Sidney Daily News.

Camren Williams have a chance to make an impression. While they are not yet enrolled at OSU, 2013 recruits Trey Johnson and Mike Mitchell could also be in the picture in the fall. Who will be the receivers is also a question. Meyer likes to have three or four receivers on the field and last season Ohio State had about 1 ½ reliable receivers. Corey Brown (60 catches, 669 yards) was the most consistent pass catcher and Devin Smith (30 catches, 618 yards) came up with huge plays some games but was invisible in others. Evan Spencer, Chris Fields and Michael Thomas all played last year, but it is incoming freshmen like Dontre Wilson, James Clark and Jalin Marshall who have excited OSU fans. Quarterback, running back and the offensive line are three areas where the questions range from few to none. Braxton Miller made himself a Heisman Trophy contender with a sophomore season when threw for 2,039 yards and rushed for 1,271 yards. Carlos Hyde (970 yards rushing) established himself as the No. 1 running back last season. Jordan Hall, Bri’onte Dunn, Rod Smith and Warren Ball, who missed all of his freshman season with a foot injury, are also back. When summer practice

starts, recruits Ezekiel Elliott and Wilson will join that group. Four of the five starting offensive linemen are back from a group that was good and lucky last season, when no starting offensive lineman had to miss a game because of an injury. Center Cory Linsley, tackle Jack Mewhort and guards Marcus Hall and Andrew Norwell are all back. Taylor Decker is expected to replace Reid Fragel at tackle. Tight ends Jeff Heuerman and Nick Vannett are also back. Going back to the defense, the defensive backfield looks solid with Bradley Roby returning at cornerback and both starting safeties, C.J. Barnett and Christian Bryant back. Doran Grant started one game when Roby was injured. Safety Vonn Bell was one of the top recruits in the country in 2013 and highly rated cornerbacks Eli Apple and Cameron Burrows are already in school. Kicker Drew Basil was 8 of 11 on field goals last season with a long kick of 52 yards. After punter Johnny Townsend switched from OSU to Florida on signing day in February, Basil could be forced to take over that role, too. Another option would be to give receiver Frank Epitropoulos, who averaged 42 yards per punt as a high school senior, a chance to win the job.

Calvert 7th in state wrestling tourney for seventh Saturday by a 10 score to finish the season at 37-7, and that gave him a career total of 143 wins, which ties Brandon Luce for the most ever. “I thought he wrestled pretty solid in every match and gave it everything he had,” said Sidney coach Jim McCracken. “He has a feel-

ing of accomplishment. I know he wanted to finish higher but I think he was realistic going into the tournament. He wrestled hard all year and I liked how he handled the wins and losses the way we expect him to. It’s an emotional roller-coaster over there, a fine line between winning and losing.”

Word of the Week vapor — visible exhalation, as fog or smoke, suspended in the air

Newspaper Knowledge Your newspaper will publish a summary of the previous week’s weather. What was the average high temperature: The average low temperature? If the temperatures were given only in fahrenheit, convert to Celsius. What was the high Celsius reading: The lowest Celsius reading?

Did You Know? • It takes somewhere between a few minutes and an hour for clouds to be created. • There are 3 categories of clouds, depending on their height from the ground, low clouds, medium clouds and high clouds. • Loud clouds are normally made up of water droplets and have a base under 2,000 meters. • Medium clouds are normally made up of water droplets also, but have a base somewhere between 2,000 and 7,000 meters. • High clouds are usually made up of ice crystals, and have a base somewhere between 5,500 and 14,000 meters. • Saturn has clouds. In fact, any planet or moon with an atmosphere has clouds. • Clouds appear white because they reflect the suns light. • In Iran, clouds are a good omen. • Noctilucent clouds are so high that they can reflect the suns light and are visible even during the night. • The classic white cloud is known as "Cumulus." • Hindu's and Buddhist's believe that cumulus clouds are the spiritual cousins of elephants. • There is an official International Cloud Committee. • Clouds develop vertically or horizontally.

Clouds

What are clouds? A cloud is a large collection of very tiny droplets of water or ice crystals. The droplets are so small and light that they can float in the air. How are clouds formed? All air contains water, but near the ground it is usually in the form of an invisible gas called water vapor. When warm air rises, it expands and cools. Cool air can't hold as much water vapor as warm air, so some of the vapor condenses onto tiny pieces of dust that are floating in the air and forms a tiny droplet around each dust particle. When billions of these droplets come together they become a visible cloud. Why are clouds white? Clouds are white because they reflect the light of the sun. Light is made up of colors of the rainbow and when you add them all together you get white. The sun appears a yellow color because it sends out more yellow light than any other color. Clouds reflect all the colors the exact same amount so they look white. Why do clouds turn gray? Clouds are made up of tiny water droplets or ice crystals, usually a mixture of both. The water and ice scatter all light, making clouds appear white. If the clouds get thick enough or high enough all the light above does not make it through, hence the gray or dark look. Also, if there are lots of other clouds around, their shadow can add to the gray or multicolored gray appearance. Why do clouds float? A cloud is made up of liquid water droplets. A cloud forms when air is heated by the sun. As it rises, it slowly cools it reaches the saturation point and water condenses, forming a cloud. As long as the cloud and the air that its made of is warmer than the outside air around it, it floats! How do clouds move? Clouds move with the wind. High cirrus clouds are pushed along by the jet stream, sometimes traveling at more than 100 miles per hour. When clouds are part of a thunderstorm, they usually travel at 30 to 40 mph. Why do clouds form at different heights in the atmosphere? The characteristics of clouds are dictated by the elements available, including the amount of water vapor, the temperatures at that height, the wind and the interplay of other air masses.

Green clouds are often associated with severe weather.The green color is not completely understood, but it is thought to have something to do with having a high amount of liquid water drops and hail inside the clouds. In the Great Plains region of the U.S., green clouds are associated with storms likely to produce hail and tornadoes.

How is fog formed? Cirrus Clouds There are many different types of fog, Cirrus clouds are the most common of but fog is mostly formed when southerly the high clouds. They are composed of ice winds bring warm, moist air into a region, and are thin, wispy clouds blown in high possibly ending a cold outbreak. As the winds into long streamers. Cirrus clouds warm, moist air flows over much colder soil are usually white and predict fair to pleasor snow, dense fog often forms. Warm, ant weather. By watching the movement of moist air is cooled from below as it flows cirrus clouds you can tell from which direcover a colder surface. If the air is near satu- tion weather is approaching. When you see ration, moisture will condense out of the cirrus clouds, it usually indicates that a cooled air and form fog. With light winds, change in the weather will occur within 24 the fog near the ground can become thick hours. and reduce visibilities to zero.

Cloud In A Bottle MATERIALS: 2-liter clear plastic pop bottle matches (children will need adult assistance to light matches) warm water PROCESS: Fill the clear plastic 2-liter bottle one-third full of warm water and place the cap on. As warm water evaporates, it adds water vapor to the air inside the bottle. This is the first ingredient to make a cloud. Squeeze and release the bottle and observe what happens. You’ll notice that nothing happens. Why? The squeeze represents the warming that occurs in the atmosphere. The release represents the cooling that occurs in the atmosphere. If the inside of the bottle becomes covered with condensation or water droplets, just shake the bottle to get rid of them. Take the cap off the bottle. Carefully light a match and hold the match near the opening of the bottle. Then drop the match in the bottle and quickly put on the cap, trapping the smoke inside. Dust, smoke or other particles in the air is the second ingredient to make a cloud. Once again, slowly squeeze the bottle hard and release. What happens? A cloud appears when you release and disappears when you squeeze. The third ingredient in clouds is a drop in air pressure. EXPLANATION: Water vapor, water in its invisible gaseous state, can be made to condense into the form of small cloud droplets. By adding particles such as the smoke enhances the process of water condensation and by squeezing the bottle causes the air pressure to drop. This creates a cloud!
