County jobless rate sees post-holiday rise BY TOM BARNETT tbarnett@sdnccg.com The unemployment rate in Shelby County increased to 8.8 percent in January from 7.8 in December, according to latest statistics from the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services (ODJFS) released Friday. The number of individuals unemployed in December was 7.8 percent. In January last year the unemployment rate was 11.1. The number of workers unemployed in Shelby County in January was 2,100. Approximately 21.500 of Shelby
County’s 23,000 labor force were employed last month. Ohio’s unemployment rate was 7.7 percent in January, down from 7.9 in December. Ohio’s nonfarm wage and employment rose salary 32,800 over the month from the revised 5,094.300 in December to 5,127,100 in January. Helen Scott of Shelby County Job and Family Services said Friday the figure is disappointing, “because really, we are seeing an increase in job postings. “The increase,” she continued, “may be due to the release of part-time workers
hired for the holiday season. Those jobs, of course, have ended. “We’re pleased to have a variety of job postings,” Scott said. “All the way from entry level to truck driving, manufacturing, health care, engineering. social services and more.” “Not good news,” Mike Dodds, director of the West Central Ohio Development Council, said Friday. “January’s figures were unexpected, since many Shelby County industries are seeking skilled labor. Hopefully, February’s statistics will continue the See JOBLESS/Page 4A

Roger Baker, of Sidney, smoothes out the gravel in his driveway with his heavy-duty lawn tractor during a day of spring cleaning Friday. Baker is getting about as much use out of his tractor 11 days from the first day of spring as he did all winter. He only needed the tractor twice all winter to move snow.
“Site Selection” magazine, whose yearly analyses are regarded by corporate real estate analysts as “the industry scoreboard,” has advanced Sidney to 12th place in its March issue listings. For several years the city had ranked 13th in the magazine’s annual listings. Sidney in 2011 is credited with a total of seven major expansion projects. This 12th-place ranking is the highest the city has reached. “Rankings are based on a number of things,” West Ohio Development Council director Mike Dodds said Friday. “They incude capital investments, the number of substantial construction projects, equipment purchases and amount of capital investments. “Last year was a banner year for such projects in Shelby County, among them See SITE/Page 4A
Cons even easier in electronic age Children, elderly especially vulnerable BY PATRICIA ANN SPEELMAN pspeelman@sdnccg.com Editor’s note: This is the last in a series of articles alerting readers to the dangers of consumer fraud and other 21st century swindles. The series is presented by the Sidney Daily News in observance of National Consumer Protection Week (March 4-11). Additional articles ran Thursday and Friday. Cyber crime has exploded worldwide. Advances in technology that make global business possible and profitable have also made it easier and easier for criminals to prey on unsuspecting citizens. The elderly and children are particularly vulnerable. Medicare fraud Just last week, a doctor in Texas was charged with bilking American taxpayers out of $375 million over five years in the largest Medicare fraud case yet to come to light. Pro Seniors is a senior citizen advocacy organization
that trains volunteers to help older persons with legal and long-term care problems. Lu Ann Presser, of Sidney, is one such volunteer. She will represent Pro Seniors as a panelist March 27 at two Better Business Bureau discussions in Sidney about scams. “Home health agencies can mis-bill,” Presser said in describing how Medicare fraud takes place. “For home health agencies to be paid by Medicare, the patient must be homebound. Some agencies intentionally looked the other way.” Another scheme to look out for, she noted, is one in which a doctor bills a patient more than the legal amount the patient is responsible for. “Medicare usually covers 80 percent of service. The per-
son is responsible for 20 percent. Say a doctor charges $150 for a service. Medicare says, ‘That’s too much. A legitimate amount for that service is $100.’ So Medicare pays $80 and the patient would pay $20. The doctor cannot bill the patient for the extra $50,” Presser said. She cautions people to look closely at the summaries of transactions that come from their insurance companies. The summaries are labeled “Explanation of Benefits.” People should not pay any bill until the insurance company has sent a summary that says what part the patient should pay. The elderly became even more vulnerable when Medicare Part D was added. They are bombarded annually at sign-up time by companies who want to sell them coverage. Some of those companies take money for premiums but don’t actually provide coverage. Others use the operation to obtain Medicare card numbers as the first step to identity theft. Presser said that clinics
and “rolling labs” that set up at senior citizen centers and shopping malls and offer free medical tests in exchange for a Medicare card number are fraudulent. “Don’t ever give anyone your Medicare number or your Social Security number,” she warned. Telephone, Internet scams Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine, Better Business Bureau President/CEO John North and Presser all listed what’s known as the “Grandma Scheme” as one of the most prevalent attempts at cyber crime today. Con artists pose as friends or family members in need to defraud potential victims. For example, a scammer hacks into a consumer’s email account and sends messages to all the consumer’s contacts saying the consumer has been hurt or is in trouble in another country and needs money immediately. Similarly, scammers may contact grandparents, pretend to be their grandchild in See SCAMS/Page 18A

JACKSON CENTER — Terry D. Nolan, 71, of Jackson Center, went home to be with the Lord on T h u r s d a y, March 8, 2012, He died of leukemia at 7:05 p.m. at the James Cancer Care Center at the Ohio State University Medical Center, Columbus. He was born in Troy, Dec. 8, 1940, the son of the late Patrick Leroy and Edna (Spade) North Nolan. Also preceding him in death were halfsisters, Dorothy Evans and Betty Moyer and half-brothers, Harold and Garold North.

As spring and cemetery maintenance operations resume, Parks Director Duane Gaier and staff share Graceland Cemetery guidelines relating to removal of gravesite decorations to facilitate mowing and trimming operations. “The city of Sidney’s desire is to keep the appearance of Graceland Cemetery esthetically pleasing, in the safest and most efficient manner possible,” Gaier said. Following are rules from the city ordinances realated to cemetery operations: No person shall disturb the quiet and good order of the cemetery by loud or boisterous noise or improper conduct. Pets brought into the cemetery shall be kept on a leash and are permitted only on the roadway. The pet owner or handler shall pick up animal waste and dispose of it off-site. All monuments shall be set upon a foundation installed by the city per the fee set by Section 921.02. The foundation
will not be installed by the city until the soil has properly settled following the burial. The city manager or his designee shall determine when a monument may be placed within the Cemetery. No planting of woody plants is permitted on any grave. Flowers may be planted in a bed next to the monument foundation. However, flowers may not be planted around any flat marker. All flowerbeds shall be maintained by the lot owner or next-of-kin. If a flowerbed becomes unsightly, cemetery personnel shall remove the bed and reseed. Temporary floral arrangements may be set next to the grave for a period of seven days before and seven days after Memorial Day. Between Nov. 15 and April 1, winter wreaths or grave blankets will be permitted. Winter wreaths and grave blankets must be removed by April 2 or they will be re-
moved by the city. General cleaning of the cemetery will begin each year during the second full week following Easter. All grave decorations must be removed from the cemetery grounds. Deteriorated, unsightly and inappropriate grave decorations, as determined by the city manager or his designee, shall be removed. The cemetery personnel will not retain or store items removed from a grave. No monument or grave marker shall be placed on an indigent gravesite unless payment is made, in full, of the city’s expenses for indigent services. Due to health and safety concerns for the public maintenance workers, as well as to avoid the appearance of clutter, the following items will not be allowed on the cemetery grounds or around gravesites: (1) Styrofoam cups and containers (2) Decorative fencing (3) Rocks and stones (4) Wire or objects
made of wire (5) Glass, ceramic, or other similar ornamental objects (i.e. benches, garden stones, statuary, Sheppard’s hooks, low voltage lighting, etc) (6) Cardboard or paper (7) Toys or stuffed animals (8) Balloons or inflatable items A general rule of thumb - if the decoration is not completely on the foundation or headstone (monument), it is not allowed. The above items that are “freestanding” or in the grass will be removed by the city staff and placed in a fenced, locked storage area. They will be available for pick up during the hours of operations at Graceland (7:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.) for a minimum of two weeks after removal. Flower arrangements will not be saved in the storage area. Further clarification, if needed, can be obtained by contacting the office at Graceland Cemetery, 498-8170 or cemetery@sidneyoh.com.

Feds: Credit card numbers stolen at McDonald’s men, and Assistant U.S. Attorney Ryan Souders said he was not aware anyone had been appointed. The complaint says investigators discovered “approximately 282” card numbers on a laptop found in a suspect’s vehicle. The majority of the cards had been used at a McDonald’s on South Zurich Avenue in Tulsa, according to the Secret Service. Internet searches had been done on the computer for magnetic strip card readers and writers and skimming devices. Ponca City police arrested the men Oct. 16 on suspicion of using counterfeit cards at a Walmart Supercenter. The four had debit and gift cards encoded with stolen numbers, and inside a vehicle, authorities found a laptop, a magnetic card reader and writer, three iPads and Walmart receipts, according to the complaint. The McDonald’s employee told authorities Jefferson would come to his apartment each night after work and download the card numbers from the skimmer. He said he was paid $600 and given two laptops and a Nintendo 3DS.
An unnamed suspect told a Tulsa police detective he met Jefferson at school in Tulsa, and Jefferson told him about a credit card scam. “(The suspect) stated Jefferson eventually told him about a scam that originated in Ghana where a person uses gift cards that have been reencoded with stolen credit card numbers to purchase merchandise,” according to the affidavit. Jefferson, 20, and Tetty-Mensah, 19, are from Columbus, Ohio; Mensah, 21, is from Dayton; and Baah, 20, is from West Columbus. A woman contacted the Bank of Oklahoma about $316.32 in charges on her debit card from a Tulsa Walmart, and surveillance footage shows Tetty-Mensah making the purchases, according to the affidavit. Hector Hernandez, resident agent in charge of the Secret Service office in Tulsa, said he hopes attention to skimming cases will deter others. “Big ones like this, there are several that happen throughout the year,” Hernandez said. Secret Service Special Agent Robert Idoux said there are other suspects in the case.
Local GOP leader says deal offered to quit race COLUMBUS (AP) — A Republican Party chairman in a northeast Ohio county alleges the governor’s allies offered him a say in gubernatorial appointments if he didn’t run for a position on the panel that elects state’s GOP chairman, a newspaper reported Friday. Portage County GOP Chairman Andrew Manning told The Columbus Dispatch (http://bit.ly/ylRWUa ) friends of Republican Gov. John Kasich relentlessly pressured him. He told the newspaper he’s sent a notarized affidavit to the FBI, county prosecutors and the state inspector general asking them to investigate whether laws were broken. “In my opinion, I felt
it was unethical and it crossed the line, but I don’t know about it being against the law,” Manning said. Kasich spokesman Rob Nichols said the governor would never permit anyone to do in his name what Manning alleges. “That may be how it used to be done or how other folks do it but it’s not how this governor works,” Nichols said. “No one authorized to represent the governor would do that.” Kasich has made clear he wants the GOP central committee that governs the state party to replace Ohio Republican Party Chairman Kevin DeWine. Manning has been on the 66-member committee since 2008 and ran to

keep his position during Tuesday’s primary, but said the re-election bid was undetermined and could require a recount. He said he had been asked not to run because it was perceived he supported DeWine. He said he was told that, if he withdrew from the race, he’d be designated “the governor’s guy” in the county and have influence over the selection of state appointees there, such as members of Kent State University boards. “It wasn’t overt,” he said, “but this is pretty much how I understood it: If I was not to be a candidate, then I would get the governor’s support and help.” Messages were left by The Associated Press on Friday at the county GOP office and at Manning’s number at the office.
Early effort fails for gay marriage measure COLUMBUS (AP) — Supporters of a measure that would allow gay marriage in Ohio have failed in their initial efforts toward getting the issue on the ballot. Attorney General Mike DeWine said Friday that Freedom to Marry Ohio had submitted the initial required 1,000 voter signatures but had not supplied an adequate description of the measure. The group seeks to repeal and replace a 2004 state constitutional amendment that says Ohio only recognizes marriages between a man and a woman. DeWine’s initial approval was needed before the group could start an effort to obtain the 385,000 signatures needed to put the measure before Ohio voters.

Delegation asks Obama for storm relief aid COLUMBUS (AP) — U.S. Sens. Rob Portman and Sherrod Brown and other members of the Ohio congressional delegation are urging President Barack Obama to meet the governor’s request for a disaster declaration and federal aid in response to last week’s harsh storms and tornadoes.
Portman, a Republican, and Brown, a Democrat, are supporting Gov. John Kasich’s (KAY’siks) request for the declaration in Clermont County and federal resources for Scioto, Adams and Pike counties. Three people were killed and hundreds of buildings damaged in
southern Ohio in the storm system that killed dozens across five states. In a Friday letter to Obama, the Ohio delegation says federal aid is critically needed to ensure health and safety. It says damage is so severe that state and local governments don’t have the ability to adequately respond.
Wastewater well operator claims quake link premature BY JULIE CARR SMYTH Associated Press COLUMBUS (AP) — The operator of an Ohio gas-drilling wastewater well that was linked to a dozen small earthquakes says the state has based its findings on incomplete science. D&L Energy noted in a statement Friday that the Ohio Department of Natural Resources came to its conclusions without testing the well. It says the well complied with all state regulations at the time it was idled by the company in January. D&L said there is “no
reason to rush and accept bad or incomplete science,” since the well is closed. Similar wells have been known to cause earthquakes elsewhere. The environmental department cites “coincidental circumstances” suggesting the quakes in
the Youngstown area were induced. It says it will require well operators in the future to submit more comprehensive geological data and require electronic monitoring of wastewater shipments entering the state.

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Federal prosecutors have accused four Ohio men of stealing customers’ credit card numbers from the drivethru at a McDonald’s in Tulsa. A McDonald’s worker told authorities he used a handheld skimming device for three weeks to capture the customers’ card numbers, according to a complaint filed Thursday in federal court. The employee, who was not named in court documents, told authorities he sold the credit card numbers to Daniel Jefferson. Jefferson, Godlive Tetty-Mensah, Stanjulfran Mensah, and Bismark Baah are in jail on charges they re-encoded other cards to buy iPads and laptop computers. The McDonald’s worker wasn’t identified in the court filing. “Nothing is more important to us than the security of our cusMcDonald’s tomers,” franchisee Bob Wagner said in a statement released by McDonald’s. “This is an isolated incident which we take very seriously, and this person is no longer employed by our organization.” Court records did not list attorneys for the

NATION/WORLD BRIEFLY
Win? *Yawn* WASHINGTON (AP) — Mitt Romney’s Super Tuesday victories elicited a collective yawn from his party’s superdelegates. Since Tuesday’s voting, Romney has added only a single endorsement to his total among members of the Republican National Committee, the party leaders who automatically attend the national convention this summer. They can support any candidate they choose, so they can play an important role at the convention. Some of the undecided superdelegates say they expect the former Massachusetts governor to be the eventual nominee but, like many Republican voters, they’re not quite ready to embrace him. “Right now I am comfortable with this going a bit longer,” said Jeff Johnson, a national committee member from Minnesota. In fact, Johnson has endorsed former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, and he said he was “hanging tight for now.” But, he acknowledged, “There may be a point where it seems all but impossible for him to win.”
Coming back HOUSTON (AP) — Raising campaign cash in Republican territory, President Barack Obama on Friday hailed a rebounding economy and accused Republicans of banking on voters having “amnesia” about the steps that led to a brutal economic collapse. “The recovery is accelerating. America is coming back,” Obama told 600 supporters at a Texas fundraiser. Bidding for re-election, Obama bounded between a rally-style event in a sprawling Rolls-Royce manufacturing plant south of Richmond, Va., to a pair of Houston fundraisers. Framing the trip: a new monthly jobs report showing employers 227,000 jobs in February, the latest sign that the economy is headed in the right direction. Every month’s jobs report is seen as a barometer of the economy and an important factor in the presidential race. The unemployment rate held steady at 8.3 percent, the result of more Americans looking for work as job growth takes hold month by month.

He probably didn’t mean it literally ELYRIA (AP) — Police say a northeast Ohio woman arguing with her husband about ending their marriage bit off a portion of his lip. According to media outlets, an Elyria police report says the husband of 26-year-old Ameryst Blaylock told officers she said “If you don’t want me, I am going to make sure no one wants you” before biting off the right side of his lower lip. Blaylock is charged in Elyria Municipal Court with felonious assault and domestic violence in the alleged Thursday attack and was released on a recognizance bond. Officers found the bitten-off lip on a couch next to a cigarette. The report says doctors were unable to reattach it. A message seeking comment from Blaylock’s attorney was not immediately returned after business hours Friday.

Records show Japan government knew meltdown risk early BY MARI YAMAGUCHI Associated Press TOKYO (AP) — Just four hours after a tsunami swept into the Fukushima nuclear power plant, Japan’s leaders knew the damage was so severe that the reactors could melt down, but they kept their knowledge secret for months. Five days into the crisis, thenPrime Minister Naoto Kan voiced his fears that it could turn worse than Chernobyl. The revelations were in documents released Friday, almost a year after the disaster. The minutes of the government’s crisis management meetings from March 11 — the day the earthquake and tsunami struck — until late December were not recorded and had to be reconstructed retroactively. They illustrate the confusion, lack of information, delayed response and miscommunication among government, affected towns and plant officials, as some ministers expressed the sense that nobody was in charge when the plant conditions quickly deteriorated. The minutes quoted an unidentified official explaining that cooling functions of the reactors were kept running only by batteries that would last just eight hours. “If temperatures in the reactor cores keep rising beyond eight hours, there is a possibility of meltdown,” the offi-

IN THIS March 11, 2011, file photo released by Tokyo Electric Power Co. (TEPCO), tsunami waves gush into a complex near the Unit 4 reactor at the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear complex in Okuma town Fukushima Prefecture, northeastern Japan. Right after its three reactors sank into meltdowns, the government vowed to crack down on the cozy relations between the nuclear industry and its regulators. cial said during the first meeting, which started about four hours after the magnitude9.0 earthquake and ensuing tsunami hit the Fukushima Dai-ichi plant, setting off the crisis. Apparently the government tried to play down the severity of the damage. A spokesman for the Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency was replaced after he slipped out a possibility of meltdown during a news conference March 12. The plant operator, Tokyo
Electric Power Co., acknowledged a partial meltdown much later, in May. Top government spokesman Yukio Edano, who is now trade minister, urged other ministers to watch what they said to the public. “We must provide information fast, but it must be accurate,” Edano said on March 14. “We must be clear about all our evaluations and judgment, and announce them only after we reach a decision.” While then-trade minister
Police say Gunman might have sought more victims BY KEVIN BEGOS Associated Press PITTSBURGH (AP) — A gunman who killed a worker and shot several other people at a psychiatric hospital on the University of Pittsburgh campus lived nearby and used two semiautomatic pistols, one of them stolen, as he marched around checking offices possibly in an attempt to find more victims before campus police fatally shot him, authorities said Friday. John Shick began shooting almost immediately upon entering the Western Psychiatric Institute and Clinic lobby Thursday afternoon, wearing a tan trench coat, Tshirt, jeans and two watches. He also had a fanny pack containing plastic bags with medicines police haven’t disclosed and carried a box of ammunition. Shick, 30, fatally shot one clinic worker and wounded six other people, Pittsburgh
major crimes Cmdr. Thomas Stangrecki said at a news conference. After the initial shootings, Shick went up a stairwell to a second-floor parking area, where he apparently tried to exit but couldn’t because he didn’t have an electronic card needed to open a secure door. A window on the door was shot but didn’t shatter, suggesting Shick tried to shoot his way through. Police believe Pitt officers, who had trained for a Virginia Tech-style shooting, encountered Shick as he came back down the stairs and into the lobby, perhaps planning to escape through the front door he had entered. “We practice this,” Pitt campus police Chief Tim Delaney said. “A lot of these (law enforcement techniques) came out of Virginia Tech. They engaged in gunfire as soon as they entered the front door.” Police aren’t sure how many shots were fired in the
brief gun battle, but Delaney said there were so many that smoke hung in the lobby afterward. No witnesses have reported that Shick said or did anything to explain his motives, and police said they found nothing on him to indicate a reason. Shick shot seven people, including clinic geriatric therapist Michael Schaab, who was pronounced dead at the scene shortly after the shooting began, the medical examiner’s office said. The surviving victims are expected to recover. Officials at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, which is affiliated with the clinic, said they had treated five adults for gunshot wounds. Kathryn Leight, a 64year-old front lobby receptionist identified by her family as a victim, and a man were listed in serious condition. Two others were still hospitalized, and one had been discharged.
Greece secures biggest debt writedown in history BY GABRIELE STEINHAUSER Associate Press ATHENS, Greece (AP) — Greece’s private creditors agreed Friday to take cents on the euro in the biggest debt writedown in history, paving the way for an enormous second bailout for the country to keep Europe’s economy from being dragged further into chaos. Greece would have risked defaulting on its debt in two weeks without the agreement, sparking turmoil in the markets and sending shock waves through the other 16 countries that use the euro. Prime Minister Lucas Papademos called the deal — which shaves some 105 billion ($138 billion) off Greece’s 368 billion ($487 billion) debt load — an important “historic success” in a televised address to the nation Friday night. “For the first time, Greece is not
adding but taking debt off the backs of its citizens.” The country said 83.5 percent of private investors holding its government debt had agreed to a bond swap, taking a cut of more than half the face value of their investments as well as accepting softer repayment terms for Greece. The swap aiming to turn around the country’s debt-ridden economy was a key condition to secure a 130 billion ($172 billion) rescue package from other eurozone countries and the International Monetary Fund. The managing director of the Institute of International Finance, which negotiated the deal with Greece for large investors, called the bond swap “the largest ever” debt restructuring. “This has been painful and the pain is not over yet. But I now can see light at the end of the tunnel for the Greek econ-
omy,” Charles Dallara told Greece’s Mega television. He estimated Greece could return to the markets “within a few years.” If recovery continues, “I think the risk for Greece and the risk on the eurozone will be very manageable,” he said. Of the investors holding the 177 billion ($234 billion) in bonds governed by Greek law, 85.8 percent joined. The deadline for those owning foreign-law bonds was extended to March 23. Creditors holding Greeklaw bonds who refused to sign up will be forced into the deal. The decision to force losses on some bondholders means that the debt relief will trigger payouts of so-called credit default swaps, a type of insurance on bonds. The International Swaps and Derivatives Association, the private organization that rules on such cases, said its committee ruled that a “restructuring credit event” occurred.
Banri Kaieda suggested on March 11 that residents within a (6-mile) 10-kilometer radius might have to be evacuated, the government ordered 1,800-plus residents within a 1.2-mile (2-kilometer) zone to leave. Then that expanded to 5 miles (3 kilometers), then to 6 miles (10 kilometers) within two hours, and finally to 12 miles (20 kilometers) the next day. Kan said a 12-mile (20-kilometer) zone would suffice. After seeing a series of explosions and fires at reactor buildings, Kan on March 16 cautioned his Cabinet about the possibility that the Fukushima crisis could be worse than the Chernobyl accident in 1986. Kan was particularly concerned about a spent fuel pool inside the No. 4 reactor building, which had the largest number of fuel rods and rising water temperatures. “We should worry about the Unit 4 pool, whose temperature has been on the rise,” he said, adding that other spent fuel pools at Fukushima Daiichi, as well as four others at the neighboring Dai-ni plant, could also deteriorate. “The amount of radiation that could be released from those reactors could be larger than Chernobyl. We must keep cooling the reactors, whatever it takes. It’s going to be a long battle,” he said, according to the minutes dated March 16.
‘Friend’ offer reveals other wife BY MANUEL VALDES Associated Press SEATTLE (AP) — Facebook’s automatic efforts to connect users through “friends” they may know recently led two Washington women to find out they were married to the same man, at the same time. That led to the man, corrections officer Alan L. O’Neill, being slapped with bigamy charges. According to charging documents filed Thursday, O’Neill married a woman in 2001, moved out in 2009, changed his name and remarried without divorcing her. The first wife first noticed O’Neill had moved on to another woman when Facebook suggested the friendship connection to wife No. 2 under the “People You May Know” feature. “Wife No. 1 went to wife No. 2’s page and saw a picture of her and her husband with a wedding cake,” Pierce County Prosecutor Mark Lindquist told The Associated Press. Wife No. 1 then called the defendant’s mother. “An hour later the defendant arrived at (Wife No. 1’s) apartment, and she asked him several times if they were divorced,” court records show. “The defendant said, ‘No, we are still married.’” Neither O’Neill nor his first wife had filed for divorce, according to charging documents. The name change came in December, and later that month he married his second wife. O’Neill allegedly told wife No. 1 not to tell anybody about his dual marriages, that he would fix it, the documents state. But wife No. 1 alerted authorities. “Facebook is now a place where people discover things about each other they end up reporting to law enforcement,” Lindquist said. Athima Chansanchai, a freelance journalist who writes about social media, said Facebook over the years has played a role in both creating relationships and destroying them. “It’s just the latest vessel by which people can stray if they want to,” she said. O’Neill, 41, was previously known as Alan Fulk. He has worked as a Pierce County corrections officer for five years,sheriff’s spokesman Ed Troyer said.

Hobart cited for violations FROM TROY DAILY NEWS Hobart Brothers Company was cited for 55 violations — 31 of those deemed “serious” for a variety of safety and health violations — by the U.S. Department of Labor Monday. The welding wire and ground power manufacturer located in Troy could potentially be fined up to $174,600 by the U.S. Occupational and Health Administration. In a press release, Hobart Brothers Company said, “Hobart Brothers Company recently re-
ceived a notice of Citation and Penalty from the U.S. Department of Labor for violations of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970. We are in the process of reviewing the citation and will work to rectify all of the issues brought to our attention. At Hobart Brothers, our people’s safety is of the utmost importance and we will continue to work with the Department of Labor to provide a safe workplace.” The OSHA report states that the 55 safety and health violations including inadequate lockout/tagout programs, fall
protection and noise sampling and failure to provide appropriate personal protective equipment for employees performing energized electrical work. Twelve serious health violations with penalties of $51,300 involve failing to sample noise levels, train workers on hazard communication and provide confined space evaluations. “A serious violation occurs when there is substantial probability that death or serious physical harm could result from a hazard about which the employer
knew or should have known,” OSHA said. The citations issued to Hobart Brothers can be viewed at http://www.osha.gov/ooc/ citations/Hobart_Safety_ 98332_0302012.pdf Hobart Brothers Co. has until March 20 to comply, request an informal conference with OSHA’s area director or contest the findings before the independent Occupational Safety and Health Review Comm ission, the agency said. A phone call to Hobart Brothers communication director was not returned by press time.

first office in Springfield, the business has reportedly experienced rapid growth throughout the Miami Valley and now has a large staff to provide care to seniors in their homes or in assisted living or other senior living facilities. “Most seniors prefer to stay in their own home, and many times, with the addition of a little extra help with daily activities, many of our clients are able to stay safely in the comfort of their own home,” said Clum. “Even if a senior calls an assisted living facility home, we can
provide a level of companionship and service that goes a long way to preserve their quality of life. Merging our Comfort Keepers locations allows us to expand our reach and help an even larger population in and around the Miami Valley area.” Comfort Keepers is a growing international franchise that provides in-home care services for aging adults, new mothers and others needing assistance with daily activities enabling them to stay in their own homes. Services include personal care such as
bathing, toileting, and transferring as well as companionship, meal preparation, light housekeeping, grocery shopping, incidental transportation, medicine reminders, and more.

I recently let everyone know that, although I still miss my husband terribly, I have been lonely and I’m ready to start dating again. I was frankly unprepared for the barrage of absolute HATE that was sent my way by my husband’s parents and siblings. They have cut off all contact with me and thus my children, which has left me stunned and sent my kids reeling from even more loss in their lives.

COLUMBUS (AP) — Visitors to the Ohio Statehouse must now wear shoes. The Columbus Dispatch reports that a legislative panel cleared the rules Thursday. Statehouse spokesman Gregg Dodd has said the requirement was prompted by concerns about public safety. The policy follows attempts to visit the Statehouse by a barefoot activist who says going shoeless is a healthy lifestyle.
Bob Neinast (NEE'nast) of the Columbus suburb of Pickerington says his feet hurt when he wears shoes, so he goes barefoot nearly everywhere, even in winter. The new rule approved by the Joint Committee on Agency Rule Review says all visitors must be wearing “shoes or comparable footwear.” ——— Information from: The Columbus Dispatch, http://www.dispatch.com

Make sure your child seat is safe
Make sure you have the proper child seat.
It has been proven again and again, that in case of a car accident, a child seat can save the life of the child, no matter his age or size. However, there are still many people who simply ignore this safety device or install it improperly. This is often the case with the owners of older vehicles. Indeed, almost every modern car built in the last few years is equipped with special hooks which extend from the rear seats to properly hook up a child seat. These hooks are specially designed to conform to the most recent child safety seats. Child seat manufacturers must comply with the law and design their products accordingly. Therefore, if you have
an older child seat or if someone has given you an older child seat which does not comply with the hooking system, DO NOT USE IT! It is probably not as safe as the newer seats and may put the life of your child (or children) at stake. Saving a few dollars may put your child in danger in case of an accident, even if it’s only a “fenderbender”! If you are traveling abroad and are expecting to rent a car, bring your own car seat. Since car seat legislations differ from place to place (and are inexistent in some areas), you can’t assume that you will get a proper car seat or for that matter, an appropriate booster seat, for your child, or children.

Is your vehicle ready for that long trip? More and more motorists are under the impression that today’s cars and light trucks need less maintenance than they used to. It is probably true for many of the newer products, but still, if you intend to use your vehicle on a long trip, it is better to take a closer look at it. Of course, you’ll probably want an oil change unless it was recently done. Also ask your mechanic to verify all the liquids. Remember that if one of the components is missing an important quantity of liquid, it must be filled back up before you hit the road. This advice is especially important if the radiator is showing a lower level of coolant than expected. No matter how old (or how young) your vehicle is, have a close look at its tires. If you notice any abnormal wear, bring it in to your favourite tire shop and have a technician look at what might have worn the tire prematurely. If necessary, have all faulty components replaced. And it goes without saying, check the tire pressure so that it matches the manufacturer’s requirement. A quick look around the car will let you know if
Is your car really ready for a long trip?

JC survives in district finals Lockland rallies to end Russia’s season, 67-65 DAYTON — The topranked Jackson Center Tigers trailed most of the way, but rallied to force overtime, and pulled out a 40-35 victory over Tri-Village to win a district championship Friday night at the UD Arena. The Tigers, 24-0, face St. Henry Tuesday at 5:30 at Trent Arena in Kettering in the D-IV Regional. The Tigers had to battle from behind all night long and finally overtook the Patriots on a shot by Andy Hoying with under a minute to play. They trailed by 10 when the Patriots scored the first six points of the third quarter. Tri-Village countered with a bucket, but Jackson’s Alex Meyer drained a long threepointer to give the Tigers a 3432 lead. But the Patriots countered with a bucket to knot the score again with just 15 seconds remaining, and Jackson Center, after a timeout, missed a shot at the buzzer to force the game into overtime. Neither team scored for quite a while in the overtime, but Hoying banked in a shot inside for a 36-34 lead. Tri-Village got one free throw, but missed on the second and Meyer was fouled with just 22 seconds remaining. He calmly sank both for a three-point lead. After a Tri-Village miss, Meyer hit two more free throws with eight seconds left to ice it. Jackson Center put just four players in the scoring column. Meyer led with 16 and Hoying added 13. ——

LHS grad Slagle’s intensity endears her to BG coach BY JACK CARLE AP Exchange BOWLING GREEN — If Curt Miller were on the basketball court, he would be a player like Jessica Slagle. If Slagle were a coach, there’s no question she would be like Miller is on the bench. Since they won’t be changing roles, Slagle, a Lehman High School graduate, was the starting point guard and Miller called the plays Friday afternoon in Bowling Green’s MidAmerican Conference tournament semifinal game. “We joke all the time and she will absolutely be so mad that I say this to the media, but Jess Slagle is Curt Miller,” the coach said. “We are so much alike, and I finally figured it out about halfway through her sophomore year. I said: ‘You are just like me, passionate, intense, moody, and we are so, so much alike.’ She’s a leader, she’s fiery, she wears her emotions on her sleeve and so we really understand each other. “She hates to admit that we’re alike,” he added. “Jess’s attitude so mirrors mine. We think alike, and we act alike and she truly is my extension, my coach on the floor.” Slagle does see some of herself in Miller. “When things aren’t going right both of us tend to try to fix it by going harder,” Slagle said. She is averaging 11.8 points per game this season. After scoring in double figures five times over her first three seasons, Slagle has 17 double-figure games this year, including 13 in the last 19 games. She leads the team in assists at 2.4 per game and also leads the team in free throws made and attempted (105-of-141) as well as

LEHMAN HIGH School graduate Jessica Slagle gets instructions from Bowling Green head women’s basketball coach Curt Miller during a game this season. free-throw percentage (.745). For her efforts, Slagle was an All-MAC secondteam selection by the coaches. The Lady Falcons are 24-5 overall and finished 14-2 in the MAC, winning the outright conference title, although many had low expectations for the team this season. “I knew we would come together at some point because of all the potential we had,” Slagle said. “Looking back, I couldn’t have chosen it to be any better.” Ten games into the season, Miller moved Slagle to the point-guard spot, in part to get freshman Jasmine Matthews into the lineup for her 3point shooting and defensive ability. “It’s hard to be the point-guard. You have a lot of pressure in this program with the ball in your hands and to be in attack mode all the time and to have to run the show,” Miller said. “It’s a system that point guards
get a lot of credit when they run well, and Jess has had an unbelievable year. “There’s a lot of pressure, but there’s a lot of reward and there’s a lot of credit given, and rightfully so, to that position.” It was a surprise when Miller told her he was making the change, Slagle said. “At that point it gave me a big confidence boost, because being the pointguard is a big responsibility ... You have to be a floor general,” Slagle said. “I felt a lot of respect from coach Miller to put me in that position.” Slagle had been a backup point guard for her first three years in the program. “I had my base set of skills that I needed to be a point-guard,” she said. “But part of being a point-guard is knowing what plays to run against traps, what plays to run against switches, what to do in certain situations. That pushed me to kind of dig
deeper into the game.” Slagle also likes to be in attack mode from the point. “I think that’s one of the reasons he put me in the point-guard position, because I like to push the ball,” Slagle said. “I enjoy up-tempo and he does too.” Miller has to temper Slagle’s aggressiveness some times. “She wants to gamble at times. She wants to thread that pass between two people. She wants to be the Brett Favre. She really wants to gamble at times and go for the home run,” Miller said. “She’s had to pick and choose her battles more because the turnovers could really, really compile if she always played like that.” Miller is also appreciative of Slagle’s leadership efforts. “What she’ll never get credit for is her leadership behind the scenes with a young team and pushing them and challenging them to do some of the things that we have done,” Miller said. “The biggest thing I have learned from Jess Slagle is leadership,” said BG freshman Logan Pastor. “She’s one of the best leaders I’ve ever be around. She is an emotional leader, a leader by example, everything that you could ask for in a senior, she does. This year was great for me to learn behind her.” Slagle will graduate in August with a degree in visual communication technology. However, her passion is in coaching. “I will be a coach some day, absolutely,” Slagle said. “We joke about how things are done here, and sometimes you may not like it. But it yields success and how could I not want to be like coach Miller or build a program like he has with how much success he has had. I hope to fall into that somehow.”

Raterman named A-10 tourney’s most outstanding Some of you may have caught all the Atlantic-10 championship game on ESPN this week, and watched Versailles grad Justine Raterman play outstanding for the UD Flyers, the tournament champions. Raterman was named the Most Outstanding Player of the tournament, becoming only the second player in conference history to be named to A-10 All Championship teams, and the first to do it in consecutive seasons. She had nine points in the tournament opener, then 16 points and eight rebounds against Temple and 13 points and eight rebounds in the championship upset win over St. Bonaventure. Next is the NCAA Tournament. Jessica Slagle, Lehman Slagle was recently named to the All MidAmerican Conference second team for her play at Bowling Green this basketball season. She is averaging 11.8, and after scoring in double digits just five times in her first three seasons, the tri-captain has 17 double-figure games this year. She was also recently named Bowling Green’s female athlete of the week and the MAC player of the week for her play in wins over Buffalo and Akron. She averaged 17 points, four rebounds and three assists in the two games. Eric Terwilliger, Anna Terwilliger is a freshman baseball player at Findlay, and is coming off a good week. He had a double and a triple in a 10-5 win over Wheeling Jesuit, and a double in an 11-5 loss to the same team. He’s hitting .375 so far, with three hits in eight at-bats. Brad Piehl, New Knoxville Piehl was instrumental in Findlay winning the conference basketball tournament. He had 12 points against Wayne State and eight against Hillsdale. Alex Lochard, Sidney Lochard is a catcher for Wittenberg, and in action this week against Beloit, he was 2-for-4 with an RBI. Joe Engle, Sidney Engle had a good week for Union College in Kentucky. He was 1for-2 and drove in three runs on sacrifice flies against Indiana Tech, was 2-for-4 with a double against St. Catherine, Ky., and had a hit, an RBI and scored twice against Cumberlands. His six RBIs for the week raised his total to 24, the only player on the team in double figures.
Rolen drives in run in Reds’ win City Royals 5-1 on Friday. He played in only 65 games last season and had surgery on his left shoulder in July. Rolen has five hits in nine at-bats this spring and appears to be mobile in the field. “I’m not worried about my health or seeing the ball,” he said. “I didn’t go home tired last season. I felt like I didn’t contribute last season.” Reds manager Dusty
Baker is thrilled to have Rolen back. Cincinnati sorely missed his presence in the middle of the lineup last season. “Scotty is getting ready,” Baker said. “He’s not there yet but almost.” Reds right-hander Homer Bailey, who is competing with Aroldis Chapman for the fifth spot in the rotation, allowed a hit and a walk in three scoreless innings.

SCAMS tium ((ISC)2), has set the world’s gold standard in training, testing and credentialing corporate Internet security providers. Peeler oversees its “Safe and Secure Online� program, which teaches students how to keep from becoming targets of cyber criminals. The 80,000-member organization has trained 70,000 children to date worldwide. And then there are the phone calls that say, “You’ve paid your taxes on time and we want to reward you.� Or “You’ve won the such-and-such sweepstakes.� “If it sounds too good to be true, it is,� North said. He was echoed by Sidney Police Chief Kevin Gessler. “People can always call (the police department) and get somebody’s opinion� about whether an offer is legitimate, Gessler said.
The Sidney Daily News learned of three cases in the last two months in which local elderly residents were subjects of telephone scams and lost homes, vehicles, savings and inaccounts vestment worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. One of them sits now with the telephone off the hook, because the calls don’t stop. The scammers phone 10 to 15 times per day. Another has become estranged from her family who tried to tell her she was being scammed. Despite her loss of everything she owned, she blames her family not getting the millions of dollars she was promised. She thinks her family scared the donors away. All of them are now supported by taxpayers through Medicare, Medicaid and other govern-

They put children back to the people who
phoned her.� Mary was able to get Jane to understand that she had been scammed. It took a lot of explanation and patience, but Mary thought she had been successful. Then, Jane got a call from two men who said they were lawyers. “We know you didn’t get your money before and we want to help you get what’s rightfully yours,� they said. “But we’ll need some money up front for expenses and fees.� The phone calls and the bleeding of Jane’s bank account began all over again. “They would tell Mom that they were coming by to drop off the money and she would cancel plans to wait for them,� Mary said. “That happened hundreds of times. She never gave up on believing in them.� When Mary and her husband were finally able to trace the phone numbers of the callers, they found the calls had come from disposable cell phones in Jamaica. By the time it was really over, Jane had lost more than $100,000. She is now dependent on government programs for income. Mary is infuriated with the impotence of federal law enforcement when it comes to crimes like these. “We spent two years of our lives on this,� she said. “For the family, it seems like the law is against you.�
ment programs for the poor. The callers befriend their victims. Victims often provide private information in friendly phone conversations without realizing that they are giving the scammers more fodder to be used against themselves. The callers caution their victims not to tell anyone else about their good fortune. And they ask for money to be wired to them to cover expenses or taxes. That money goes into accounts in countries with no extradition laws and is lost forever. Shelby County Sheriff John Lenhart thinks more could be done to prevent the loss. “If sending money out of the country had a four- or five-day window, that would help,� he said. “We need to formalize our efforts to thwart these crimes.� Other cyber crime DeWine listed two other scams among the top five victimizing Ohio citizens. Payment fraud is one.
nesses and job seekers also may be susceptible to similar payment scams. Government agency impersonation is the other. Scammers send emails or make phone calls pretending to be the FBI, IRS, or Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation. Using these official-sounding messages, scammers try to scare consumers into providing their personal or financial information. They contell sumers that they owe money to the government and must pay immediately or be arrested or they claim to have money for the consumer and ask for the consumer’s SDN Photo Illustration/ personal inforLuke Gronneberg mation.

And then ‘true love’ originates too soon. Suddenly, they say they’re out of the country or have a sick relative and they ask you for cash.� Although emails purporting to be from foreigners with large funds to disperse are generally ignored by people who use email every day, the scam is successful often enough for scammers to keep attempting it. “No African prince is trying to send money through your bank,� said Julie Peeler, director of the (ISC)2 Foundation in Palm Harbor, Fla.

NB high school principal to retire NEW BREMEN — At its February meeting, the New Bremen Board of Education approved the retirement resignation of its longtime high school principal. Frank Borchers, who has served the school district for 22 years, is set to retire June 30. Board members also approved the resignation of Judy Baker, effective May 31. A seven-year school employee, she has served as elementary school library aide. It was also announced the board is accepting applications for the position of high school principal and middle school principal for the coming year. Applications are being accepted until March 16 or until filled. In addition, the board is accepted ongoing applications for substitute positions for bus drivers, custodians, kitchen staff and instructional aides. A number of supplemental employment con-
tracts were accepted by the board for the coming year: Chad Williams, assistant high school track and junior high track facility coordinator; Mark Shank, assistant high school track; Josh Bowersock, assistant baseball-junior varsity; Mike Holdren, assistant baseball-ninth grade; Gary Moeder, assistant softball-junior varsity; Katy McGovern, assistant grade; softball-ninth Molly Watcke, junior high track; Nita McKinney, junior high school track; Jason Lammers, assistant junior high track; Gary Jones, high school track facility coordinator; and Craig Griesdorn, high school baseball/softball facility coordinator. Several community volunteers were recognized for their service: Jeff Piper, baseball; Gary McCollum, baseball; and Brian Trego, boys bowling. As a result of the recent increase in state
minimum wage, the board adjusted the amounts it will approve for athletic and music trips: $40 for up to four hours; $55 for up to six hours; $70 for up to eight hours; $85 for up to 10 hours; $100 for up to 12 hours; and $115 for more than 12 hours. Superintendent John Basinger recommended that the board approve all-day kindergarten starting this coming school year. One additional kindergarten teacher will need to be hired. He also announced that all of the high school seniors had either passed the Ohio Graduation Test or been exempt due to a disability. The new fund drive for the New Bremen Education Foundation is set in place. Last year, 79 scholarships were awarded graduating seniors. All donations to the fund are considered charity and tax-de-
ductible. For donation information, contact Jeff McCollum at the First National Bank or John Basinger at the school. A resolution of intention was presented for a plan to place a combined bond issue and maintenance levy on the ballot to provide funds to renovate and maintain the large middle school gym. This is contingent on successful passage of the March 6 combined issue to construct and maintain a new K-8 building. In other news, the annual kindergarten clinic screening at the elementary library is set for March 21 and 22. Children must be 5 years old on or before Aug. 1 to enter kindergarten. Also, there will be a public meeting March 14 at the high school to provide the community with an opportunity to offer input into the usage of federal funds to help educate handicapped children 3-21 years old.

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.

Today is the perfect time to offer a little drive-by salute to the truckers you share the road with. Remember, too, that trucks have several blind spots that make it hard for them to see you at all times. Be patient with them as they are big and slow and need lots of space. If you get annoyed by them and cut them off or jam the breaks, you are only playing with your own safety. Drive smart and share the road with them as they are the ones who are making your lifestyles possible.

What kind of day will tomorrow be? To find out what the stars say, read the forecast given for your birth sign. For Sunday, March 11, 2012 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You’ll definitely be dealing with ex-partners and old friends now and in the next few weeks. It seems like old tape loops are running in your life again. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) This is actually a very good time to research. It’s not easy to push ahead with new things, but if you want answers about old things, they magically will appear! GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Expect to run into old friends, especially friends from groups. (It’s nice to have history with others.) Someone might influence you to reconsider some goals. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Bosses from your past or parents you haven’t seen for a while might pop back into your life now. This is a good opportunity to go over old issues. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) In the next few weeks, travel plans will be delayed or canceled. Regarding schoolwork, focus on old projects, history and studying the past. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) This is a very good time to bring some kind of resolution to disputes about shared property, inheritances and insurance matters. This is a good time to finally finish things! LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) People from your past (friends and ex-partners) are back in the picture again. Perhaps this is a good time to achieve better closure. 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, March 12, 2012 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) There’s a lot of powerful energy in your life right now that could attract a new source of income to you or an entirely different job. Be on the lookout for this. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Think about the ways you can improve your image. Take a realistic look in the mirror and decide what it is you have to do (because now is the time to do it). GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Subtle changes are taking place around you. This could be why you are open to new teachings, new suggestions and new ways of looking at things. (Weird, but true.) CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Your relationship with a group might transform completely at this time. You might assume a lot more responsibility, or conversely, you might decide to leave the group entirely. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Your career can get a lovely boost at this time. Something could really put your name up in lights. (Your reputation looks marvelous!) VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Explore opportunities in publishing, the media, higher education, medicine and the law. Chances to travel could be very exciting now. You are expanding your world! LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Inheritances, gifts, goodies and opportunities from others might come to you now. You def-
SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Get used to the idea that work will be inefficient for the next few weeks. Lost papers, delays, canceled meetings and silly, goofy errors will dog your footsteps. Aagghh! SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Old flames and romantic acquaintances from the past might reappear in your life again. For some of you, this will be exciting. For others, it definitely won’t be. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Stock the fridge with food and drink, because relatives might be camped on your doorstep. However, this is a good time to finish old repairs and wrap up old family business. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Allow extra time for everything, because transportation delays and problems with vehicles are highly likely now. Misplaced paperwork, lost keys and mixed-up communications will be quite maddening. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) This is a good time to finish old business related to earnings or something that you own. In the next month, however, it’s a poor time to begin a new business. YOU BORN TODAY You’re an original thinker. You’re also quirky, individualistic and competitive. You have high ideals and you’re compassionate and keen to make the world a better place, especially by relieving the suffering of others. You know how to keep your finger on the pulse of the public. An exciting new cycle is beginning for you this year. Open any door! Birthdate of: Christopher Rice, novelist; Ralph Abernathy, civil-rights leader; Lisa Loeb, singer/songwriter. initely benefit from others in a completely new way. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Partnerships and close relationships are undergoing a major transformation in your life now. But it’s good. It’s all a change for the better, and this brings you joy! SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Job opportunities abound now. You have chances to improve your job or get a better job — or do likewise for your health! Maybe both! CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) This is a great time for Capricorn artists. It’s also a powerful time for Capricorn parents. Plan vacations. (And also be open to new romance that could change your life!) AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Something in your family and domestic scene pleases you greatly now. Family joy, as well as an increase in family real estate or the value of what you own is a blessing. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Your enthusiasm for life is a wonderful boost now! You see the power of positive thinking based on the experience of your own newfound optimism. Yay me! YOU BORN TODAY Privately, you identify with the archetype of the hero or heroine, which is why you never hesitate to leap into the fray to settle anything. You want to come to the rescue! You’re certainly courageous, independent and enthusiastic about whatever you embrace. Admit it — you like to live on the edge. Your year ahead however, will focus very strongly on partnerships and close friendships. Birthdate of: Courtney B. Vance, actor; Jaimie Alexander, actress; Irving Layton, poet.
