NEW YORK (AP) — Supermarket chains Kroger Co. and Stop & Shop said Thursday they will join the growing list of store chains that will no longer sell beef that includes an additive with the unappetizing moniker “pink slime.” Federal regulators say the ammonia-treated filler, known in the industry as “lean, finely textured beef,” meets food safety standards. But critics say the product could be unsafe and is an unappetizing example of industrialized food production. The Kroger Co., the nation’s largest traditional grocer with 2,435 supermarkets in 31 states, also said it will stop buying the beef, reversing itself after saying Wednesday that it would sell beef both with and without the additive.

For Saturday, March 24, 2012 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You feel rebellious today, and because of this, anything could happen. You’re certainly not going to let anybody boss you around! TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) A vague, uneasy feeling might make you feel unsettled today. This could be due to surprising news that comes out of the blue or secrets that are suddenly revealed. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Any kind of group meeting will be full of surprises today. You might meet someone unusual, or someone you already know might do something that’s quite bizarre! (Who knew?) CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Bosses, parents, teachers and authority figures might say or do something that surprises you today. Don’t quit your day job. (You might be tempted to do this.) LEO

(July 23 to Aug. 22) Sudden opportunities to travel might drop in your lap today. Alternatively, travel plans suddenly might be canceled. Something that has to do with publishing, education or the law will be unexpected. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) News about how something is to be divided could shock you today. This could be good; it could be bad. Keep in touch with your bank account and anything to do with shared property. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Partners and friends are possibly defiant today. They definitely will do something that catches you off guard. Be mindful of your own knee-jerk reactions to this. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Your work routine will be interrupted today by computer crashes, power outages, fire drills, canceled meetings and staff shortages. Just cope as best you can. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) This is an accidentprone day for your children, so parents should be extra vigilant. Romance will hold a few surprises as well. (Oh dear.) CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19)
Unexpected company might drop by today. Meanwhile, small appliances could break down and minor breakages could occur. You’ll probably run out of something in the kitchen today. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) This is an accidentprone day for your sign, so slow down and take it easy. Be mindful of everything you say and do. Be careful that others don’t misinterpret what you say, as well. (This is likely.) PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Keep your eyes open because you might find money or you could lose money today. Anything having to do with your finances and your possessions is a crapshoot. Stay vigilant. YOU BORN TODAY You are affectionate and modest. You are also almost childlike in your approach to life because you are so spontaneous, direct and very open. You believe in loyalty. You like to keep things simple by avoiding negativity and complications. Partnerships matter to you.

NEW YORK (AP) — Watching the numbers on the gas pump tick ever higher can boil the blood and lead the mind to wonder: Why are gasoline prices so high? Many stand accused, including oil companies, the president, Congress, and speculators on Wall Street. Others assume that the earth is just running out of oil. The reality, economists say, is fairly simple, but it isn’t very satisfying for a driver looking for someone to blame for his $75 fill-up. Last year, the average price of gasoline was higher than ever, and it hasn’t gotten any better this year. The average price nationwide is $3.88 per gallon, the highest ever for March. Ten states and the District of Columbia are paying more than $4. Q: What determines the price of gasoline? A: Mainly, it’s the price of crude oil, which is used to make gasoline. Oil is a global commodity, traded on exchanges around the world. The main U.S. oil benchmark has averaged $103 per barrel this year. The oil used to make gasoline at many U.S. coastal refineries has av-
eraged $117 per barrel. Oil prices have been high in recent months because global oil demand is expected to reach a record this year as the developing nations of Asia, Latin America and the Middle East increase their need for oil. There have also been minor supply disruptions in South Sudan, Syria and Nigeria. And oil prices have been pushed higher by traders worried that nuclear tensions with Iran could lead to more dramatic supply disruptions. Iran is the world’s third largest exporter. Q: How are gasoline prices set? A: When an oil producer sells to a refiner, they generally agree to a price set on an exchange such as the New York Mercantile Exchange. After the oil is refined into gasoline, it is sold by the refiner to a distributor, again pegged to the price of wholesale gasoline on an exchange. Finally, gas station owners set their own prices based on how much they paid for their last shipment, how much they will have to pay for their next shipment, and, perhaps most importantly,
how much their competitor is charging. Gas stations make very little profit on the sale of gasoline. They want to lure drivers into their convenience stores to buy coffee and soda. Oil companies and refiners have to accept whatever price the market settles on — it has no relation to their cost of doing business. When oil prices are high, oil companies make a lot of money, but they can’t force the price of oil up. Q: Are oil prices manipulated by speculators on Wall Street? A: Investment in oil futures contracts by pension funds, mutual funds, hedge funds, exchange traded funds and other investors who aren’t going to actually use oil has risen dramatically in the last decade. Much of this money is betting that oil prices will rise. It is possible that this has inflated the price of oil — and therefore gasoline — somewhat. But investors can also bet that prices will go down, and they do. Studies of the effects of speculation on oil markets suggest that it probably increases volatility, but that it doesn’t have a
major effect on average prices. Q: Are politicians to blame for high prices? A: Politicians can’t do much to affect gasoline prices because the market for oil is global. Allowing increased drilling in the U.S. would contribute only small amounts of oil to world supply, not nearly enough to affect prices. The Associated Press conducted a statistical analysis of 36 years of monthly inflation-adjusted gasoline prices and U.S. domestic oil production and found no statistical correlation between oil that comes out of U.S. wells and the price at the pump. Over the last three years, domestic oil production has risen and gasoline prices rose sharply. In the 1980s and 1990s, U.S. production fell dramatically, and prices did too. Releasing oil from emergency supplies held in the Strategic Petroleum Reserve could lead to a temporary dip in prices, but the market might instead take it as a signal that there is even less oil supply in the world than thought, and bid prices higher.

PIQUA — An Edison Community College administrator was discharged from her position earlier this month following a school investigation that found her actions did not constitute a criminal offense, the college’s president and the police said. Former Vice President of Institutional Advancement Terri L. Jacomet was dismissed March 1 after allega-
tions of impropriety surfaced and were later examined by school officials, according to Edison President Dr. Cristobal Valdez. Valdez refused to provide additional details of the alleged wrongdoing, citing the college’s policy to not discuss personnel issues, but said he could “confirm nothing that went on was a criminal offense.” Valdez and members of the college’s board of trustees contacted the Piqua Police Department when they first learned of the allega-
tions to decide if a criminal violation or violations occurred, said Piqua Police Chief Bruce Jamison. Jamison said he asked school officials do a couple of things in an attempt to determine whether any laws were broken, but investigators soon learned none had been broken. “I recommended to them a couple of things to check on to determine if there were any criminal violations,” Jamison said. “Based on what they found, it was clear that there were none.”
Jacomet had been with the community college since the late 1990s and had served in her most recent position for the last six years, Valdez said. He stated her job responsibilities in her role as vice president of institutional advancement, among others, involved the handling foundations, fund-raising activities, annual events and college donations. The college is currently conducting a nationwide search to find a successor to Jacomet, Valdez added.

Obama talks auto research
Mr. Coffee co-developer dies at 89 CLEVELAND (AP) — Samuel L. Glazer, coowner of the company that revolutionized Americ a n mornings with the Mr. CofGlazer fee drip c o f feemaker, has died at age 89. The funeral home that handled the arrangements said Glazer died of complications from leukemia March 12 at the Cleveland Clinic. Services were held March 14 at Berkowitz-KuminBookatz Memorial Chapel in Cleveland Heights. Glazer and his North Systems American business partner, Vincent Marotta Sr., hired engineers to develop an automatic drip coffeemaker for use at home. The company introduced the Mr. Coffee coffeemaker in 1972 to compete with older percolator and less-tasty instant coffee methods. Mr. Coffee became a huge success. A corporate online history says that within three years Mr. Coffee was the topselling coffeemaker in the U.S. The brand also got a big boost from its longtime pitchman, slugger Joe DiMaggio. The partners sold North American Systems in 1987 for $182 million. Glazer was born in Cleveland and served in the Army during World War II. He lived in suburban Beachwood. Over the years, he was involved in many business ventures, including developing shopping malls and housing. Survivors include his wife, Jeanne, and a son, Robert.

PRESIDENT BARACK Obama does the traditional O-H-I-O cheer with students after speaking at The Ohio State University in Columbus Thursday.
2259968
COLUMBUS (AP) — President Barack Obama said Thursday that his administration has shown a commitment to drilling for oil all over the nation, but he has his limits: No drilling at Ohio Stadium. Obama made the comments in jest to his critics during a speech at Ohio State University. The president highlighted his energy agenda this week in Nevada, New Mexico and Oklahoma before making his last stop in the presidential battleground of Ohio. The trip reflects the degree to which high gas prices have begun hitting consumers in their pocketbooks. He said his administration would drill for oil in a manner that protects people’s health and safety and the country’s resources. “I’m not drilling in the South Lawn,” he told a boisterous crowd at a recreation center. “We’re not drilling next to the Washington Monument. We’re not
drilling in Ohio Stadium.” Before his speech, Ohio toured the university’s Center for Automotive Research, where he spoke with students and saw the world’s fastest electric car, the Buckeye Bullet 2. Obama visited Ohio last week for an NCAA tournament basketball game. The basketball fan-inchief gave a shout-out Thursday to Ohio’s four teams in the final 16 — Ohio University, Ohio State, Cincinnati and Xavier. Obama acknowledged that he has Ohio State’s Buckeyes heading to the Final Four in his bracket. Still, he said to laughter, “I’m not going to get in the middle of this.” “I do want to just say no state has ever done this before,” Obama added. “So it’s a testimony to Ohio basketball.” As Obama departed, he spelled out the traditional O-H-I-O cheer with his arms. Students in the crowd chanted, “four more years!”
Tests performed on animals COLUMBUS (AP) — Veterinarians from an Ohio zoo performed medical tests Thursday on the five exotic animals held there since their owner released dozens of wild creatures from his farm before he committed suicide in October. The Columbus zoo has been caring for three leopards, two primates and a bear under stateissued quarantine orders. One leopard was euthanized after being struck by a door lowering between two enclosures. The animals are those that survived the release outside Zanesville in eastern Ohio. Authorities were forced to kill 48 of 56 others, including Bengal tigers, lions and bears, as they moved
into the community. Terry Thompson’s widow, Marian Thompson, has sought to reclaim the surviving animals, but the Ohio Department of Agriculture ordered that they be kept in quarantine. Ohio law allows the agriculture director to quarantine animals while investigating reports of potentially dangerous diseases. Officials initially were concerned about whether the animals were strong enough to survive being anesthetized for testing, but the state veterinarian determined Tuesday that they were. The animals awoke after their medical tests and were doing fine, a spokeswoman for the
SLIME Earlier Thursday, Stop & Shop said that while the U.S. Department of Agriculture has said the product is safe for consumption, it will stop selling the beef due to customer concerns. Stop & Shop is a unit of Dutch supermarkets owner Royal Ahold NV and operates 400 stores in the Northeast U.S. The chains joined Safeway, Supervalu and Food Lion, among others, who have said they won’t sell beef with the filler. “Our customers have expressed their concerns that the use of lean finely textured beef — while fully approved by the USDA for safety and quality — is something they do not want in their ground beef,” Kroger said in a statement. “As a result, Kroger will no longer purchase ground beef containing lean finely textured beef.” The low-cost ingredient is made from fatty bits of meat left over from other cuts. The bits are heated to about 100 degrees Fahrenheit and spun to remove most of the fat. The lean mix

agriculture department said Thursday night. The wildlife underwent physical exams, Xrays and blood testing, said agency spokeswoman Erica Pitchford. The state will send blood and urine samples to an outside lab for analysis. The results could take one to two weeks. Pitchford said Marian Thompson’s veterinarian sent a veterinary technician to be present during the testing and to collect the split samples from the animals. Thompson has appealed the quarantine order. A hearing on the issue has been scheduled for April 23. Messages left Thursday for her lawyer, Robert McClelland, were not immediately returned.

Though the term “pink slime” has been used pejoratively for at least several years, it wasn’t until early March that social media suddenly exploded with worry and an online petition seeking its ouster from schools lit up, quickly garnering hundreds of thousands of supporters. The Agriculture Department said last week that, starting next fall, schools involved in the national school lunch program will have the option of avoiding the product. Wal-Mart Stores Inc., the retail giant that sells significantly more food than any other chain, said Wednesday that its Walmart and Sam’s Club stores will begin selling meat that doesn’t contain the additive. It did not say it would stop selling beef with the filler altogether.
On Thursday WalMart updated its statement to say that it will have new products in stores as quickly as possible, and that its meat department and customer service staffers will tell customers who inquire about the new meat offerings. Other stores have come out in recent days saying either that they never sold beef with the filler or they plan to stop doing so. “Our ground beef vendors do not use an ammonium hydroxide treatment in their production processes,” Target said in a statement. “Any additional questions can be directed to vendors.” Winn-Dixie, Bi-Lo, and Giant/Martin’s, which operates Giant Food Stores and Martin’s Food Markets and in Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia and West Virginia, all said Thursday they will no longer sell beef with the additive. BJ’s Wholesale Club Inc. also said it will stop selling beef products
with the additive, starting April 7 for fresh products and April 20 for frozen. Whole Foods, A&P and Costco said they have never sold beef products with the additive. On Wednesday, Supervalu Inc. — which operates stores under the Acme, Albertsons, Cub Foods, Farm Fresh, Hornbacher’s, JewelOsco, Lucky, Shaw’s/Star Market, Shop ‘n Save and Shoppers Food & Pharmacy banners — said that customer concern prompted it to stop carrying products containing the filler. Delhaize America, the U.S. unit of Belgium’s Delhaize Group, also said Wednesday that its Food Lion, Hannaford, Bottom Dollar Food and Sweetbay chains have made similar decisions. And Safeway Inc., which operates the Genuardi’s and Dominicks chains, as well as Safeway stores, also said Wednesday that it has announced it will stop selling fresh or frozen ground beef with the filler.

Politics puts Etch A Sketch back in the picture TOLEDO (AP) — Pushed to the bottom of the toy box by video games and other hightech gadgets, Etch A Sketch is suddenly drawing lots of attention, thanks to a gaffe that has shaken up the race for the White House. Ohio Art Co., maker of the classic baby boomer toy, is sending a big box of Etch A Sketches to the presidential campaigns to say thanks for the publicity and a boost in sales. It all started when Mitt Romney strategist Eric Fehrnstrom was asked Wednesday about the candidate’s politics now versus next fall, and he likened the campaign to an Etch A Sketch: “You can kind of shake it
up and we start all over again.” Democrats and Republicans alike seized on the remark as evidence that Romney is a flipflopper willing to alter his positions for political gain. GOP rival Newt Gingrich told voters in Louisiana that “having an Etch A Sketch as your campaign model raises every doubt about where we’re going.” Rick Santorum brandished an Etch A Sketch and told voters he is a candidate who stands “firmly on the rocks of freedom, not on the sands of an Etch A Sketch toy.” Santorum’s staff also handed out miniature Etch A Sketches to reporters.

The butler did it! NEW HAVEN, Conn. (AP) — A former butler for philanthropist Anne H. Bass was found guilty on Thursday of trying to extort millions of dollars from her during an hourslong ordeal in which she and a companion were held hostage on her estate and were injected with what masked intruders claimed was a deadly virus. The butler, Emanuel Nicolescu, had been fired by Bass for wrecking a car weeks before three men broke into her house in the hills of western Connecticut on April 15, 2007. Authorities said the masked intruders injected Bass and her partner, Julian Lethbridge, and refused to provide an antidote unless they turned over $8.5 million. The substance turned out to be harmless.

Bales to be charged with murder WASHINGTON (AP) — Army Staff Sgt. Robert Bales will be charged with 17 counts of murder, assault and a string of other offenses in the massacre of Afghan villagers as they slept, a U.S. official said Thursday. The charges against Bales include 17 counts of murder, six counts of attempted murder and six counts of aggravated assault as well as dereliction of duty and other violations of military law, the official said on condition of anonymity because the charges had not been announced. The 38-year-old soldier and father of two, who lives in Lake Tapps, Wash., will be charged
with a shooting rampage in two villages near his southern Afghanistan military post in the early hours of March 11, gunning down nine Afghan children and eight adults and burning some of the victims’ bodies. The charges are to be read to Bales on Friday at the military prison at Fort Leavenworth in Kansas where he has been held since being flown from Afghanisan last week. He faces trial under the Uniform Code of Military Justice. Military authorities had originally said Bales was suspected in the killing 16 Afghan villagers, nine children and seven adults. They changed that Friday to 17, raising the
number of adults by one but without explaining how the change came about. It’s possible some of the dead were buried before U.S. military officials arrived at the scene of the carnage. Six Afghans were wounded in the attack. Bales’ civilian attorney, John Henry Browne, did not immediately respond to telephone and email messages seeking comment on the charges. The killings were yet another blow to U.S-Afghan relations, following a series of missteps, including the mistaken burning of Qurans, which prompted violent protests and revenge killings American troops in the war zone.
A hair-raising ride for kitty SANTA CRUZ, Calif. (AP) — A stowaway kitten is safe despite taking an 85mile ride in a van’s engine compartment that included a trip across California’s Golden Gate Bridge. A Santa Cruz County Animal Shelter spokesman says the 8-month-old female feline was probably just looking for a warm place to sleep. The Santa Cruz Sentinel reports the van’s road-tripping driver left from Marin County and spent the night in a Mill Valley parking lot before heading out Wednesday morning for Santa Cruz. He didn’t stop until he reached a gas station in the beachfront city, where he heard a distinct meowing.

Bridal train on display BUCHAREST, Romania (AP) — A hot air balloon floated over downtown Bucharest on Tuesday carrying a model wearing what is now regarded as the world’s longest bridal train. The 1.85-mile-long (nearly 3-kilometer) ivory train on the model's wedding gown billowed out over a main boulevard in Romania's capital. The Guinness Book of World Records on Monday recognized the item on the silk and lace gown as the longest train, beating the previous record held by a Dutch designer.
The brutal shooting rampage also prompted renewed debate in the United States about health care for the troops, who have experienced record suicide rates and high rates of post-traumatic stress and brain injuries during repeated deployments over a decade of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Bales was on his fourth tour of duty, having served three tours in Iraq, where he suffered a head injury and a foot injury. He was assigned to the 2nd Battalion, 3rd Infantry Regiment of the 3rd Stryker Brigade Combat Team, of the 2nd Infantry Division, which is based at Joint Base Lewis-McChord in Washington.

Remains identified BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) — A Montana community shaken by the kidnapping of a popular high school math teacher finally got some closure Thursday, as authorities identified a body found in neighboring North Dakota as missing teacher Sherry Arnold. The discovery raised the possibility of new charges against two men being held for aggravated kidnapping in the case, although none were immediately filed. The defendants also could face potential federal prosecution since Arnold’s body was apparently taken across state lines. The remains of the 43year-old mother of two were recovered Wednesday near Williston, N.D. That’s about 50 miles northeast of Sidney, the Montana town where Arnold lived and worked most of her life.

A FRENCH police officer is seen at the window of Mohamed Merah’s apartment, after a suspect, wanted in the deaths of three paratroopers, three Jewish schoolchildren and a rabbi, died following a standoff with police, Toulouse, France, Thursday. Merah, who boasted of killing seven people to strike back at France died after being shot in the head by police as he jumped out of his apartment after a fierce gunfight with police, authorities said.
Standoff ends as suspect killed TOULOUSE, France (AP) — Inspired by radical Islam and trained in Afghanistan, the gunman methodically killed French schoolchildren, a rabbi and paratroopers and faced down hundreds of police for 32 hours. Then he leapt out a window as he rained down gunfire and was fatally shot in the head. France will not be the same after Mohamed Merah, whose deeds and death Thursday could change how authorities track terrorists, determine whether French Muslims face new stigmas and even influence who becomes the next French president. The top priority for investigators now is determining whether Merah, who claimed allegiance to al-Qaida, was the kind of lone-wolf terrorist
that intelligence agencies find particularly hard to trace, or part of a network of homegrown militants operating quietly in French housing projects, unbeknownst to police. Either way, French authorities are facing difficult questions after acknowledging that Merah, a 23-year-old Frenchman of Algerian descent, had been under surveillance for years and that his travels to Afghanistan and Pakistan were known to French intelligence — yet he wasn’t stopped before he started his killing spree on March 11. Merah had been on a U.S. no-fly list since 2010. “One can ask the question whether there was a failure or not,” French Foreign Minister Alain Juppe said on Europe 1
radio. “We need to bring some clarity to this.” Three Jewish schoolchildren, a rabbi and three paratroopers died in France’s worst Islamist terrorist violence since a wave of attacks in the 1990s by Algerian extremists. Merah filmed all three attacks, Prosecutor Francois Molins said Thursday, and claimed to have posted them online. “You killed my brother; I kill you,” he said in the video of the first attack, in which one French paratrooper died, Molins said. “Allah Akbar,” (God is Great), he declared during the second, when two more soldiers were killed. The prosecutor said Merah told police he wanted to “bring France to its knees.”
Online hoodie photos show anger NEW YORK (AP) — The famous and the unsung took to Facebook and Twitter in hooded sweatshirts Thursday in solidarity with the family of a black teenager shot to death by a Hispanic neighborhood watch captain in Florida. The spontaneous social media effort by dozens came a day after a few hundred people joined the Million Hoodie March on Wednesday night to protest the shooting of 17-yearold Trayvon Martin. They changed their profile pictures and tweeted photos of themselves wearing hoodies, many also posing the question: “Do I look suspicious?” or using the Twitter hashtag “IAmTrayvonMartin” in a show of frustration and outrage. Former Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm and Marian Wright Edelman, who heads the
Children’s Defense Fund, joined the fray, which included everyone from grandmothers to a group of law students from Howard University. “I wanted to stand with all the young people who are standing up for justice for Trayvon Martin,” Edelman said in a statement. “I wanted to protest that Walking While Black and wearing a hoodie should lead to a death sentence in America.” No arrests have been made in the case, angering Trayvon’s father, Tracy Martin, and the family’s supporters. More than 100 commenters on Facebook cheered the photo posted by Granholm, host of “The War Room” on the progressive cable network Current TV. She served two terms as governor before term limits ended her administration.

They could lower gasoline taxes and they can help get more fuel efficient cars into showrooms by mandating fuel economy improvements or subsidizing the cost of alternative-fueled vehicles. The first new fuel economy standards since 1990 are just now going into effect. Last summer the Obama Administration and automakers agreed to toughen standards further in 2016.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Whitney Houston was a chronic cocaine user who had the drug in her system when she drowned in a hotel bathtub, coroner’s officials said Thursday after releasing autopsy findings that also noted heart disease contributed to her death. The disclosure ended weeks of speculation about what killed the Grammy-winning singer on Feb. 11 on the eve of the Grammy Awards. Houston was found submerged in the bathtub of her room at the Beverly Hilton Hotel, and her death was ruled accidental. Several bottles of prescription medications were found in her hotel room, but coroner’s officials said there weren’t excessive quantities. “We are saddened to learn of the toxicology results, although we are glad to now have closure,” Patricia Houston, the singer’s sister-in-law and manager, wrote in a statement to The Associated Press. Beverly Hills police said in a statement there was no evidence of wrongdoing in connection with Houston’s death. Coroner’s Chief of Operations Craig Harvey said cocaine and its byproducts were found in Houston’s system, and the drug was listed as a contributing factor in her death. He said the results indicated Houston was a chronic cocaine user. Toxicology results also showed Houston had marijuana, Xanax, the muscle relaxant Flexeril, and the allergy medication Benadryl in her system. Houston died just hours before she was scheduled to appear at producer Clive Davis’ pre-Grammy Awards bash. The singer also had buildup of plaque in her arteries that can restrict blood flow. Assistant Chief Coroner Ed Winter said the condition is common in drug users, although he said it wasn’t clear whether Houston had a heart attack on the day she died. “It just beats up their heart and they will go to use and they will have a heart attack,” he said. The exact amount of cocaine in Houston’s system was not disclosed Thursday but will be contained in a full autopsy report to be released in about two weeks, officials said.
From Page 5A fuel efficient than ever, and gasoline demand in the U.S. has fallen for 52 straight weeks. The U.S. is never again expected to consume as much gasoline as it did in 2006. That means that while drivers are paying more than they used to, they would have been paying much more if they consumed as much gasoline as they did in the middle of the last decade. Q: Are prices high because the world is running out of oil? A: Not yet. Prices are high because there’s not a lot of oil that can be quickly and easily brought to market to meet demand or potential supply dis-
ruptions from natural disasters or political turmoil. Like most commodities, the need for oil is so great that people will pay almost anything, in the short term, to get their hands on what might be the last available barrel at any given moment. But substantial new reserves of oil have been found in shale formations in the United States, in the Atlantic deep waters off of Africa and South America, and on the east coast of Africa. Canada has enormous reserves, and production is growing fast there. The Arctic, which is largely unexplored,
is thought to have 25 percent of the world’s known reserves. All of this oil, however is hard to get and expensive to produce. That leads analysts to believe that oil will never stay much below $60 a barrel for an extended period again. As soon as oil prices fall, producers will stop developing this expensive oil until demand, and high prices, return. Current high prices have fueled a boom in oil exploration that is sure to bring more crude to the market in coming years. But it is not here yet, so for now, pump prices — and frustration — are expected to remain high.

firewood. Our neighbor, Steve, brought his larger chain saw to help Joe cut the bigger area by the stump. Joe’s chain saws were not long enough to cut all the way through. On Saturday, we also carried the patio table, chairs and rockers out of the basement to put on the front porch again. Last night we already enjoyed eating supper on the porch. We let our coal stove go out a week ago. We hope the nice weather is here to stay. Joe wants to till the garden this week so we can plant some of the early things like peas, potatoes, radishes and so forth. On our list to do this week is raking the yard. The grass is really growing fast and I don’t think it will be long before we have to mow it. Our solar-powered freezer is staying charged well with all the sunshine. It even charges some on cloudy days. With spring weather here, it is time to start thinking about rhubarb. Mom would make rhubarb pie and rhubarb shortcake. We’d eat the shortcake warm and pour milk over it. My children like to eat it with ice cream. We didn’t have ice cream around the house when I was

his stow-away assistant. Hope is Billy’s longlost love. But she is engaged to a wealthy Englishman, Lord Evelyn Oakleigh.

NEW BREMEN — The Crescent Players will present “Honk,” a musical based on the classic fairy tale, “The Ugly Duckling,” March 29-31 at 7 p.m. and March 31-April 1 at 2 p.m. in the James F. Dicke Auditorium, 901 E. Monroe St. Advance sale tickets are $8 for children, students and senior citizens and $10 for adults and are available at True Value Hardware in Minster and St. Henry, or by phone at (419) 584-8456. Prices will be $2 higher at the door. The story is adapted for children but is especially suited for parents. Upon discovering her “different” son Ugly, mother duck Ida must help Ugly adjust to life on the farm, even amidst the disapproval and prejudice of the other animals. Ugly’s big test comes when he is kidnapped by the Cat, who would like to turn Ugly into a gourmet meal. Along the way, Ugly discovers who his true friends are, which include an army of bumbling geese, a fashionable bullfrog and some domesticated house pets. Ugly’s journey is a good lesson in tolerance, helping viewers to realize that “different” can be good.

Students to present two one-act plays BY TERRY PELLMAN
JACKSON CENTER — Those planning to attend the Jackson Center High School program this Sunday evening are going to be treated to an evening of varied entertainment. The performance begins at 7 p.m., and the cost of admission is $3. Originally, there were plans to give an additional performance. However, due to the success of the boys high school basketball team in the state tournament, it was decided to alter those plans because of a scheduling conflict. Students in the high school grades will be performing two one-act plays. Both plays are being performed through arrangements with Dramatic Publishing Co. of Woodstock, Ill. During the intermission, five of the same students will be putting on some musical performances. The first play is titled “The Best Mistake,” a
drama/comedy by Jim Knable. The 50-minute presentation tells the story of a girl named Becky and her struggle to cope with the embarrassing behavior of her father, Roy. Becky is very apprehensive when she can no longer avoid introducing Roy to her boyfriend, Will. To her surprise the two hit it off, but the relationship takes an unexpected turn to reveal a stunning secret about Becky’s father. The second play is titled “Flowers for Algernon.” David Rogers adapted the work from a novel written by Daniel Keyes. The play has been widely performed and studied. The play was also adapted to film under the name “Charly.” The film was a major motion picture from 1968 starring Cliff Robertson. Robertson won an Oscar for Best Actor. Flowers for Algernon is a touching story of a man with limited mental capability whose life is
changed by a special surgery. As the story unfolds, one learns a lesson about unintended consequences. Cast members are: • Matthew Tussing, son of Deborah Tussing • Jordan Thomas, son of Cole Thomas and Stephany Oakley • Arielle Haynes, daughter of Lee and Ruth Sowers, and Shaunna Vondenhuevel • Seth Regula, son of Bert and Marlene Regula • Katie Braun, daughter of Luke and Kathy Braun • Madison Reese, daughter of Lisa and Quentin Reese • Dave Braun, son of Luke and Kathy Braun • Steven Dearwester, son of Steve and Kristina Dearwester • Rhyanna Wagner, daughter of Angela and Kelly Wagner The evening performance is being directed by Jackson Center High School teacher John Bucklew. The assistant director is faculty member Melanie Yocum.

Sidney Daily News, Friday, March 23, 2012
Internship applications now being accepted The newly formed Upper Miami Valley Local Government Management Internship Prois currently gram accepting applications from local students. Organized by the Shelby County Educational Service Center, Logan County Educational Service Center, Miami County Educational Service Center and Wittenberg University, the program is designed to introduce the region’s best and brightest high school students to potential careers in local government administration. The internship is open to students currently enrolled as a junior or senior with a GPA of 3.0 or higher. Individuals successfully completing their internship will receive a $500 to $1,000 college scholarship. The final amount of each scholarship will depend on the availability of funds from participating local government agencies. It is expected
that between one and three students from each county will be selected to participate in the program. During the internship students will be responsible for a wide variety of high level administrative tasks, projects, and initiatives. Successful candidates must have exceptional organizational, leadership, and critical thinking skills. In addition to work at the agency level, interns will attend board meetings, town hall events, and policy discussions. During the summer of 2012, students will be required to complete their internship placement, participate in local government meetings, attend two Saturday Local Government Seminars (four hours each) and provide a final presentation on their experience. Saturday Seminars will be facilitated by Wittenberg University in Sidney at no cost to the student. The first Satur-
day Seminar will take place on May 26 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Students will be at agencies placed within their home county (Shelby, Miami or Logan). Internships will last for six to eight weeks and must take place between June 10 and Aug. 20. While the amount of hours worked each week can be negotiated, students should expect to be on-site at the agency approximately 10 to 20 hours per week. Interested students should complete an application, submit three letters of recommendation, and provide a certified copy of high school/collegiate transcripts. Applications must be received on or before April 15 at 4 p.m. For more information on the program and to download a copy of the application, visit the Shelby County Educational Service Center’s website, www.shelbycountyesc.com.
Park maintenance discussed The Shelby County Park District commissioners held a meeting recently and discussed plans for the park district in the upcoming year. With all of the funding cut from the County Commissioners the only source of income is land rent for farm ground owned by the Park District. This income allows the park to pay the insurance and minimal expenses and upkeep on equipment. During the discussion the park commissioners felt strongly about the necessity to maintain trails and services. There was a great deal of discussion on how to
best utilize volunteers and scouts for maintenance. The park district will also be working on Bornhorst Woods this year. This area has not had care and upkeep for two years. With the help of Boy Scouts, park commissioners and Friends of the Park, the trails will be cleaned, the boardwalk will be repaired and any other area will be addressed. The park district has also decided to have a display at the Shelby County Fair again this year. The district feels that the services it has to offer are very important to the county. There
are several trails available at all times for hiking. The Miami-Erie Canal Trail is an integral part of the Buckeye Trail, which is a hiking area that goes around the entire state of Ohio. While no camping is allowed at the Lockington site, there are still more than 500 acres for hiking and bird watching. No motorized vehicles are permitted on canal trails that are maintained by the park. The trails are subject to erosion, and vehicles only help destroy areas that are intended for hiking only. Failure to follow that rule will result in citations.

ONE MORE TO GO Rally puts Tigers in D-IV championship Face Berlin Hiland Saturday in 1 vs. 2 battle for state title BY MATT ZIRCHER COLUMBUS — It may go down as one of the biggest comebacks in County history. Down 14-2 at the start, Jackson Center trailed by 15 in the second quarter and by 11 with three minutes remaining in the third period. As they’ve done all season, however, the Tigers were able to find a way to win as they finally took the lead for good with 1:45 left and held on for a 53-50 win over the Columbus Africentric Nubians in the Division IV state semifinals here at Ohio State’s Value City Arena Thursday morning. Jackson remains one of two teams in Ohio still unbeaten on the year (Dunbar is the other) as the Tigers take a 270 mark into the championship game Saturday at 10:30 against 26-1 defending state champ Berlin Hiland, who advanced with a 46-37 decision over Arlington in the other semifinal. Over the last two years, County teams have struggled with Columbus-area teams at the state tournament as both the Houston boys and Fort Loramie girls lost to Harvest Prep last season and, last week, the Anna girls fell in overtime to Africentric in the Division III title game. It looked to be more of the same in the early going for the Tigers as Africentric scored on each of its first five possessions, including four three-pointers and a putback on a missed three attempt, to go up 14-2 at the 5:07 mark of the opening quarter. “Africentric came out firing,” said Jackson coach Scott Elchert. “I knew that if they kept shooting like that, we would be in trouble. We just had to take our chances and stick with our game plan.” The margin was still 12 until Jackson scored the final six points of the period on two Andy Hoying layups and a putback by Troy Opperman just ahead of the horn.
But just when it looked like the momentum was swinging towards the Tigers, baskets by Hosie Smith and Fuquan Tucker gave the Nubians a double-digit advantage again midway through the second stanza and Africentric took its biggest lead of the game at 28-13 at the 3:23 mark following six straight Kenny Robinson points, including his third three of the contest. Alex Meyer, though, trimmed the deficit back to 10 with a three from the top of the circle and a later jumper and after Africentric had a layup, a three by Trey Elchert made it 30-21 heading into the halftime break. The Nubians shot 55 percent from the floor in the first half, including five of eight from behind the arc, while Jackson was at 35 percent, but just two of eight from three-point range. A Hoying three drew the Tigers to within six at 36-30 with 4:33 to play in the third quarter, but just like the previous Jackson comeback attempts, Africentric would have an answer, scoring six of the game’s next seven points to extend the lead to 42-31 with three minutes left in the period. But, just as the beginning of each quarter belonged to the Nubians, the ends were controlled by the Tigers and the third would be no difference. Jackson tallied the final seven points, including a Meyer three in the closing seconds, to trim the margin to 42-38. Meyer triple Another closed the gap to one two minutes into the final period and the Tigers finally tied it at 46 as Gavin Wildermuth connected on a three from the right wing with five minutes to go.

‘One game at a time’
TREY ELCHERT races up the floor against Trevon Saunders of Columbus Africentric in Division IV
TIGERS From Page 13 After both teams came up empty the next time each had the ball, the Tigers worked the ball around on offense for nearly 45 seconds behind Meyer canned a three from the left wing to put Jackson up for good at 51-48 with 1:45 left. “We just were looking to get a good shot,” said Elchert. “That’s just a case of making a play in a big game. In games of this magnitude, there isn’t much coaching going on because you can’t hear, so it’s guys making plays.” Smith again had an answer to make it a onepoint game and Africentric looked to regain the lead after Justin Miller came up with a steal against Meyer at midcourt and called timeout at the 51.3-second mark. The Nubians took another timeout with 22.2 seconds left to set up a final play, but the Jackson defense would rise up to the occasion. Trevon Saunders drove along the left baseline and was looking to kick it out to an outside shooter, but Wildermuth intercepted the pass and was fouled with 13.1 seconds to play. Jackson was just four of 10 at the line for the game up to that point, but the freshman forward came through on the one-and-one, knocking down both attempts to make 53-50. The Tigers, with a foul to give, did so at midcourt with 9.9 seconds left, forcing Africentric to reset its offense. The Nubians did manage two three-point attempts in the closing seconds, but could not connect as Jackson became the first County team since Russia in 2002 to advance to the finals. “We’re still playing Saturday and that’s all that matters,” said Elchert. “It was a tremendous game by both teams. We hit some big shots in the second half and limited their dribble penetration.”

Edison’s annual Charger 300 raises $20,000 for athletics
AP Photo/Jeff Roberson
OHIO GUARD David McKinle, center, shoots as forward T.J. Hall, left, center Ethan Jacobs look on during basketball practice Thursday in St. Louis. Ohio is scheduled to face North Carolina in an NCAA tournament Midwest Regional semifinal college basketball game on Friday.
OU not fazed by Carolina “D.J. Cooper of course, because he’s really a gifted kid who, the last couple games, has really been dominant for them,” Williams said when asked what concerns him most about Ohio. “But they’re really a good basketball team. They guard you, they take the ball away from you, they rebound the basketball.” Adding to the challenge is North Carolina likely will be without dazzling point guard Kendall Marshall, who had surgery Monday to insert a screw in the right wrist he broke when he was fouled on a drive against Creighton last Sunday. The cast is off Marshall’s wrist, but he is still wearing a brace, hasn’t practiced and said Thursday that if the game were that night, he wouldn’t be able to play. “We have planned as if he’s going to play, and then obviously you got to have some type of contingency plans in your mind in terms of adjustment of offensive and defensive strategy,” Ohio coach John Groce said. “But it does make it difficult because, obviously, he makes them a different team.”

FORMER UNIVERSITY of Dayton basketball player Derrick Dukes and Edison volleyball player Mindy Hughes draw tickets at Edison Community College during the third-annual Charger 300 held recently. This year, a live auction was added to the evening’s activities, with items ranging from box seats at Dayton Dragons games to a landscaping prize featuring four hours of work from the newly formed Edison Club Baseball Team. Nearly 20 items were also added to a silent auction donated by area businesses and community members, which together with the live auction helped to bring in another $4,000 to the total collected. Former University of Dayton basketball star
Derrick Dukes served as the evening’s emcee, calling out tickets and joking with attendees throughout the night as the remaining tickets dwindled down to the final few. “We really have a lot of people to thank both in the community and right here at Edison,” said Hare. “This is the first year we’ve been able to sell out the event in advance and the record turnout shows that we’ve got something really great to continue building on.” Edison’s teams compete in the Ohio Com-
munity College Athletic Conference and are members of the National Junior College Athletic Association Division II. Edison’s athletic programs provide a unique opportunity to athletes who may have found difficulty participating at larger schools due to financial reasons and family commitments. Tickets are already on sale for next year’s event, which will be held on March 14. Information will continue to be updated on the website at www.edisonohio.edu/cha rger300.
Browns made strong bid for RG3 TOM WITHERS AP Sports Writer Cleveland Browns president Mike Holmgren said the team did all it could to move up in the NFL draft to get quarterback Robert Griffin III. Holmgren, speaking with some of the team’s season-ticket holders on a conference call Thursday, said the Browns made a strong offer to St. Louis to try and get the No. 2 pick in next month’s draft, a pick they would have used to select the Baylor quarterback and Heisman Trophy winner. Holmgren said the Browns’ bid “was every bit the offer chosen.” The offer he was re-
ferring to was the one made by the Washington Redskins, who gave the Rams three first-round picks and a secondrounder to move up and take Griffin, considered the second-best QB in this year’s draft class behind Andrew Luck. Holmgren said reports the Browns didn’t include a second-round pick in their offer were incorrect. Reporters were unable to ask questions during the conference calls and the Browns have not made Holmgren or general manager Tom Heckert available to the media since their failed pursuit of Griffin. “There are reasons it
didn’t happen,” Holmgren said. “We were very aggressive and it didn’t work. Rest assured, we were aggressively involved in that.” Because they were unable to close the deal, the Browns still have the Nos. 4, 22 and 37 picks. Cleveland had one of the NFL’s worst offenses last season and it would reason they would use one or more of those selections to improve a woeful unit led by quarterback Colt McCoy. Holmgren said he still thinks McCoy can be a solid quarterback, mimicking Heckert’s recent comments about the third-year QB, who had an inconsistent season.
The Browns had their busiest day of free agency on Thursday. The club officially signed free agent defensive end Frostee Rucker, him from swiping Cincinnati, and resigned offensive lineman Oniel Cousins and tight end Alex Smith. Rucker agreed to terms on a five-year, $21 million contract Wednesday and signed his deal Thursday after passing a physical. The Cincinnati Enquirer reported the deal includes $8 million guaranteed. Rucker had his best season with Cincinnati in 2011, recording a career-high four sacks in 11 starts.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Ohio is happy to make room for anyone who wants to jump on the bandwagon. Just don’t expect the Bobcats (29-7) to buy into that whole lovable underdog thing. Yes, they realize they’re the 13th seed, the only “little guy” left in a tournament that now looks like a who’s who of college basketball. They’re well aware it would take them another century or two to match top-seeded North Carolina’s tradition ‚Äî they’re in the regional semifinals for the second time, while the Tar Heels have lost count of how many times they’ve been here. But they don’t much care. “Nobody in our locker room feels like we’re a Cinderella team,” D.J. Cooper said Thursday. “We feel like we can compete with anybody on the national stage.” Even North Carolina (31-5), their opponent Friday night in the Midwest Regional semifinal. “They played some big-time opponents and haven’t been concerned about the name on the front of the jersey,” North Carolina coach Roy Williams said. “They have just played.” It would be easy to stereotype Ohio as one of those plucky little schools that catches a hot streak and a little bit of luck, but the Bobcats don’t look a whole lot different than they did during the regular season. Sure, their 3-point percentage is markedly better than it was during the regular season, as is their free throw percentage. But Ohio has been playing the same type of nasty, pressure defense all year. Just ask Louisville, which needed a furious rally at the end of the game to hold off the Bobcats 59-54 back in November. Ohio is forcing more than 17 turnovers a game, and ranks fourth in the country in steals (9.3). Opponents are averaging just 62 points, and the Bobcats have held 10 to 55 or fewer. South Florida, another Big East member, was held to 56 in the third round. Offensively, no one’s figured out a way to contain the silky smooth Cooper, who averaged 20 points, six assists and four rebounds in Ohio’s first two tournament games.
PIQUA — The Edison Theater was the scene recently of the college’s third-annual Charger 300 fundraiser to support the basketball, volleyball and baseball teams. A record-setting crowd of more than 400 people were on hand for the reverse raffle, which awarded one lucky ticket holder the $10,000 grand prize. The event helped to bring in approximately $20,000 for the athletics program through the sale of tickets and a silent and live auction. More than $14,000 in money was prize awarded out to winning ticket holders, including the grand prize winner, Buckeye Charter Bus Company, who generously donated half of the prize money back to the school. “We had a tremendous outpouring of support for this year’s Charger 300 event,” said Chip Hare, athletic director. “The money we raise through this event helps to offset many of the costs that our athletic teams incur throughout the year and provides a lot of opportunities to our athletes that they wouldn’t normally have, such as participating in postseason tournaments.”

Tribe downs Padres PEORIA, Ariz. (AP) — Indians Cleveland pitcher Ubaldo Jimenez was pleased with his performance on Thursday. Facing a familiar opponent in the San Diego Padres, Jimenez, who had a 9.31 ERA this spring in four starts, showed his dominant form from his days with the Colorado Rockies. Jimenez limited the Padres to a run, four hits and a walk in four innings and struck out four as the Indians won 9-4. “I felt much better, especially from my last start,” Jimenez said. “I was much more aggressive. But I still have a lot to improve. I had too many 2-1 and 3-1 counts. Hopefully, I am not going to keep falling behind like that. I have two games to get better and I will work on my fastball
command, mostly.” Jimenez, who went a combined 10-13 with a 4.68 ERA in 32 starts for the Rockies and Indians last season, was clearly better Thursday than he had been in his previous start. On Sunday, Indians manager Manny Acta spoke to Jimenez because he was concerned about his fastball velocity and overall health. But Jimenez assured his manager he would be ready for the regular season. Against the Padres, Jimenez kept his promise as he reached 95 mph. Jimenez threw strikes on 43 of 76 pitches. He allowed several hard-hit balls and pitched deep into many counts, but was pleased with how he felt. Padres starter Cory Luebke was also excited

BULLETIN BOARD
Student gets award Lehman Catholic High School Principal Denise Stauffer recently announced that Lehman senior Daniel Sehlhorst has received a Certificate of Excellence Sehlhorst in the 2012 Prudential Spirit of Community Awards program. This certificate signifies that Sehlhorst was among the top 10 percent of all applicants from Ohio. For the committee reviewing the applications, Sehlhorst’s volunteer activities stood out as an impressive example of what young people can do to improve their communities. Based on the number of hours of volunteer service that Sehlhorst indicated in his application, he has also qualified for the President’s Volunteer Service Award. President Barack Obama recognizes Americans of all ages who have volunteered significant amounts of their time to serve their communities and their country. At Lehman, Sehlhorst is a Lehman Ambassador and vice president of the Student Council. He is also active in National Honor Society, Relay for Life, the Interact Club, the Substance Abuse Advisory Committee and the Ohio Energy Project. All these organizations are involved in service activities. The Prudential Spirit of Community Awards program is the United States’ largest youth recognition program based exclusively on volunteer community service. The program’s goals are to applaud young people who already are making a positive difference in their towns and neighborhoods, and to inspire others to think about how they might contribute to their communities. Sehlhorst is the son of Dan and Marcie Sehlhorst, of Troy. Although he has not yet determined where he will attend college, Sehlhorst plans to major in chemical engineering.

Raise the Roof: Group works to save historic theater BY MELANIE SPEICHER mspeicher@sdnccg.com Close your eyes and you can hear the ghosts of yesteryear talking to you. The year is 1921 and the Majestic Theatre, built by C.B. Deweese, is opening for the first time. You can imagine sitting in the theater, waiting for the performance to begin. The lights dim and the action begins. The anticipation has been worth the wait. The action of the stage captivates the audience and brings chills to the back of their necks. Applause fills the theater as the final curtain comes down. Those are the feelings the Raise the Roof for the Arts organization want to instill in Shelby County residents again for the Historic Sidney Theatre. “This all started as a conversation,” said Mardie Milligan, president of Raise the Roof for the Arts. “The theater was experiencing some growth and we wanted to see what other things can be done with the building.” The Raise the Roof for the Arts organization purchased the building in 2009 from Jeff Wood, who had purchased it in 2006. Chakeres Theaters had owned the building previously. Thanks to contributions from various community members, the organization was able to purchase the building outright. It didn’t have to get a loan for any of the purchase. “Our board is putting together a plan for a fundraising campaign,” said Milligan. “We are deciding how we want to use the building; how much it will cost for renovations and then put the campaign plan in place.” Currently Sock & Buskin and the Sidney Dance Company use the theater for their performances. A film series was also held at the theater. “The Applefest committee wants to put an event in there this year, too,” said Milligan. The board, which is composed of 16 community members, is focusing on the development and planning for the campaign to raise funds to renovate the building. Tiffany Wildermuth, project coordinator, is writing grants to help with renovation costs. “I’ve written a few grants,” said Wildermuth. “And I’m looking into some more.” Milligan said they have to

Sixteen community members serve on the Raise the Roof for the Arts Board of Directors. “The board is a cross section of people who are pulling together for the arts in Sidney and Shelby County,” said Board President Mardie Milligan, who is a community volunteer and member of Sidney City Council.

I consulted a pulmonary specialist, who said the same thing. The specialist said my lungs are otherwise clear, and my blood gases are normal. You wrote about a fungal lung infection common in parts of the U.S. Apparently, I do not have an infection, as no comments were made and no medications prescribed. What do I have? — D.H. ANSWER: Granulomas are the body’s way of walling off infections and foreign materials that make their way into organs like the lungs. The granuloma is like a prison. The body often coats granulomas with calcium to keep the prisoners inside locked up forever in a calcium-reinforced granuloma. The tuberculosis germ,
some fungi and some materials aerosolized stimulate granuloma formation. One of your granulomas was biopsied and showed no danger to your health. You are 71 years old and have lived with these granulomas for much of your life without developing a single sign or symptoms. You’re OK. You need not dwell on them. Histoplasmosis is a common fungal infection of the Ohio and Mississippi River valleys. The fungus thrives in soil enriched with bird droppings. If the soil is disturbed in any way, incubating fungi are dispersed into the air and are inhaled by those in the area. Your body took care of this fungus for you. Not all are so lucky. Some need treatment. You do not. That’s true of most people who inhale the fungal spores. Your granulomas might be the result of Histoplasma invasion in the distant past.
March 23, 1912 Prof. Joseph DuPere, leader of the Methodist Sunday school orchestra, was presented with $50 in gold Sunday by the Sunday school because of his very efficient services over the past nine years. ––––– Now that the interurban line is running cars from Minster to Loramie and the line from Loramie to Covington is proposed, a young summer resort promises to take on some form in the vicinity of Loramie reservoir. During the spring months a number of summer cottages will be built. Work on a few of the cottages has already commenced. A number of acres have been leased from the state for 20 years and it is being divided into lots upon which the cottages are being built.
75 years March 23, 1937 Both the boys’ and girls’ glee clubs of Sidney High School carried off honors in the finals of the district music competition held in Greenville this week. The boys, under the direction of C.F. Naffziger, high school music supervisor, received a superior rating. The girls, directed by Miss Margaret Faulkner, were rated excellent. Twenty schools participated in the competition with the superior groups automatically qualifying for the state finals in Columbus in April. ––––– Gold, the symbol of a fiftieth anniversary, was given prominence in every detail at the 50th birthday party of the Shakespeare Junior Club, yesterday afternoon at the home of Mrs. W. T. Amos on North Ohio Avenue. An interesting portion of the meeting was the reading of the names on the original club roster. They included: Jennie Wyman, Jean Laughlin, Kate Amann, Abbey Studevant, Jennie Dickensheets, Kate Murray Norman, Mamie Mar-
shall, Harriett Hubbell, Lou Robertson, Alice Wyman Jones, Delia Amos Smith and Jennie Vandegrift.
50 years March 23, 1962 The courthouse elevator was returned to service today after stalling late yesterday on the third floor and briefly trapping John Wesbecher, custodian.

Ohio Avenue, was presented with a plaque honoring her as “Teenager of the Month,” by the Sidney Optimist Club at its luncheon meeting Tuesday in the Hotel Wagner.
25 years March 23, 1987 William A. Ross, Jr. has been nominated for an award by the Ohio Art Educators Association. He hired Robert Koepnick to design several important sculptors that grace Sidney. Among others, they are located at the First National Bank, Wilson Memorial Hospital, Amos Memorial Library and Aluminum Ross Foundries. ––––– The Sidney City Schools Consulting Committee is ready to issue its report. The group of community leaders was asked by the Sidney Board of Education to assist in the areas of long range planning and facility assessment.

DEAR ABBY: I recently married my boyfriend of five years. Our marriage is only a few months old, and we’re not
happy. My husband is sweet, but he is absolutely the world’s worst communicator. He’s an introvert and has a “whatever” attitude about everything. He tells me he can’t put his feelings into words. So how can we fix any of our problems? We also constantly fight about our sex life. I’d appreciate it at least weekly. He doesn’t care if we do “it” or not. I have voiced my concern about our sex life, but it doesn’t seem to help. I feel rejected and hurt, and I crave this attention from my husband. I’m an affectionate and attractive young woman — so what gives? — NEEDS ATTENTION IN DALLAS DEAR NEEDS ATTENTION: Was your husband this way during the five years you were together before the wed-
ding? If he was, you shouldn’t have gone through with it because people don’t magically change after a trip to the altar. If he was passionate, attentive and verbal but now has withdrawn, ask him a simple question: “Do you still want to be married to me?” If he can’t answer that one, it’s time to ask YOURSELF an important question: “Am I better off with him or not?” If the answer is no, accept the fact that it’s time to end the marriage.

CAUTION Whether posting or responding to an advertisement, watch out for offers to pay more than the advertised price for the item. Scammers will send a check and ask the seller to wire the excess through Western Union (possibly for courier fees). The scammer's check is fake and eventually bounces and the seller loses the wired amount. While banks and Western Union branches are trained at spotting fake checks, these types of scams are growing increasingly sophisticated and fake checks often aren't caught for weeks. Funds wired through Western Union or MoneyGram are irretrievable and virtually untraceable. If you have questions regarding scams like these or others, please contact the Ohio Attorney General’s office at (800)282-0515.
