Health care debate Supreme Court justices question law WASHINGTON (AP) — The fate of President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul was cast into deeper jeopardy Tuesday as the Supreme Court’s conservative justices sharply and repeatedly questioned its core requirement that virtually every American carry insurance. The court will
now take up whether any remnant of the historic law can survive if that linchpin fails. The justices’ questions in Tuesday’s hearing carried deeply serious implications but were sometimes flavored with fanciful suggestions. If the government can force people to buy health insurance,
justices wanted to know, can it require people to buy burial insurance? Cellphones? Broccoli? The law, pushed to passage by Obama and congressional Democrats two years ago, would affect nearly all Americans and extend insurance coverage to 30 million people

Jerry Stanley, of Sidney, takes a stroll down East Court Street under a canopy of flowering trees Tuesday.
Sidney City Council adopted resolutions authorizing street lighting assessments and a downtown property rehabilitation loan during its final March meeting Monday night. The first of several public hearings on the city’s 2012 Development Community Block Grant Small Cities program preceded council’s legislative agenda. Community Services Director Barbara Dulworth led the block grant discussion. She told council the Office of Community Development has not yet advised the city of 2012 funding levels, but has suggested communities use last year’s funding levels for planning purposes. Available funding is earmarked for community housing improvements, community development programs, economic development loans and grants, residential infrastructure grants and fair housing programs.
A second CDBG hearing will held in June and the city’s application for the formula grant program will be due to the state in late June or July. The Downtown Rehab loan application was requested by Mary M. Edwards for $3,960, about half the cost of planned façade improvements to a store front building at 107 N. Ohio Ave. The project’s total estimated cost is $7,200. The agreement will provide a fiveyear forgivable loan at zero interest rate, secured by a mortgage on the property. The project has been endorsed by the city’s Downtown Design Review Board. The adopted street lighting resolution of necessity is the first step toward assessing the cost of street lighting to residents of Sidney. Proposed assessments are 31 cents per frontal foot for standard lighting and $1.11 for decorative lighting through 2013, the current lighting assessment. Council had tabled the resolution at its March 12 meeting for more discussion. See COUNCIL/Page 11A

More than 100 people attended from six counties to hear guest speaker Ohio Supreme Court Justice Yvette McGee Brown. “She’s really working hard for this office and she is so good,” said Shelby County Democrat Party Chairwoman June Laughlin. McGee Brown is the first African-American woman to serve as a justice on the Ohio Supreme Court and said she feels fortunate to be serving the state. “It is very humbling, I have to say,” McGee Brown said. “I grew up as a poor kid in the inner city of columbus and never, as a kid, did I dream about being a lawyer and serving on the Supreme Court.” McGee Brown grew up in a single parent household but credits her success to the people around her who helped push her in the right direction. “I’ve been very fortunate in that I’ve had very strong mentors in my life,” said McGee Brown. “I had a mother and grandmother who stressed the importance of education.” When she was in high school, a

gree felony charges involve a victim under the age of 10 and each one is punishable with 15 years to life in prison. The remaining 20 rape counts are punishable by up to 11 years in prison. Zwick, who authorities allege responded to Brandt’s online posts about child prostitution, has been charged with three counts of rape, each one punishable by up to 11 years in prison. The arraignments of both men only lasted a few minutes and neither spoke significantly during that time. Brandt remains jailed on a $800,000 bond while Zwick remains behind bars on a $500,000 bond. The attorneys for both men unsuccessfully attempted to get the bonds lowered. Both men are due back in court on April 2 for pretrial hearings. Earlier this month authorities raided Brandt’s Troy home once the allegations were made and confiscated several items, including computers and media devices. All three of the victims are currently staying with relatives and are being supervised by Miami County Children Services, according to the Troy Police Department.

tigers and other exotic animals, allowing current owners to keep their pets by obtaining new permits by 2014. The owners would have to pass background checks, obtain insurance, install microchips in the creatures and show they can adhere to caretaking and safety measures. Zoos, circuses, sanctuaries and research facilities would be exempt. Animal owner Evelyn Shaw, who lives in
Pataskala, just east of Columbus, told senators on Tuesday that the bill would force her and other private owners to euthanize their animals or keep them illegally. She said the fees are too expensive and insurance is too difficult to get. “Anytime something is banned, it goes underground,” she said. “Desperate people use desperate measures. This could cause a greater public safety risk.”

Court rejects ‘Joe the Plumber’ suit CINCINNATI (AP) — Federal appeals judges Tuesday rejected a lawsuit by “Joe the Plumber” that claimed his rights were violated by a state records search after he voiced public concern over taxes to then-candidate Barack Obama. The three-judge 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals panel upheld a lower court’s dismissal of the lawsuit. Samuel J. Wurzelbacher of the Toledo area became Wurzelbacher nationally known as “Joe” during the 2008 presidential campaign after the much-quoted discussion about taxes with Obama. He claims his First Amendment and privacy rights were violated by three Ohio Job and Family Services officials who were Obama supporters and who searched databases for information about him soon after the discussion. The department’s director and another official resigned and the third official was ousted in the aftermath of the searches. The judges found Wurzelbacher wasn’t harmed and there was no interference with his free speech by the “fruitless database searches” conducted. “Our conclusion is supported by the fact that Wurzelbacher was not deterred or chilled in the exercise of his First Amendment rights as a result of defendants’ wrongful conduct,” wrote Judge Richard A. Griffin, a George W. Bush appointee. The court said Wurzelbacher failed to show “a sufficient adverse action.” Wurzelbacher said the ruling means that private citizens can be violated by a powerful government and that the decision may deter others from speaking out against those in charge. “The irony of this court ruling is that now any citizen who stands up and challenges candidates and elected officials is subject to intimidation by the same government that is supposed to protect our individual rights,” he said in a statement. Wurzelbacher won the House 9th District Republican nomination this year and will face Democratic Rep. Marcy Kaptur in the November election. Judicial Watch Inc., a Washington-based conservative organization, argued Wurzelbacher’s case. Its president, Tom Fitton, said a possible appeal of the ruling would be evaluated, saying it upholds a “frightening notion” of government officials rifling through private citizens’ files for political purposes.

Tighter security for SAT, ACT in wake of cheating BY FRANK ELTMAN Associated Press MINEOLA, N.Y. (AP) — Students taking college entrance exams this fall will have to submit photo IDs with their applications — a key security upgrade following a widespread cheating scandal at a number of high schools on New York’s Long Island, a prosecutor and testing officials announced Tuesday. The security change is one of a number of initiatives following the arrest of 20 current or former high school students accused in a cheating scheme. Nassau County District Attorney Kathleen Rice said some of the students were paid as much as $3,500 to stand in for other students on the SAT exam, a key barometer for many colleges determining admissions. She said 50 students were likely involved in the scheme, but she only had
evidence to arrest 20. The prosecution cases against the 20 students are still pending. Rice complained that security procedures were too lax, and was particularly incensed when she learned that one male student allegedly stood in for a female on one occasion. She said students have easy access to phony identification cards, making it difficult for administrators at testing sites to determine if a student is actually who he or she claims to be. “These reforms close a gaping hole in standardized test security that allowed students to cheat and steal admissions offers and scholarship money from kids who play by the rules,” Rice said. During the 2010-11 school year, the SAT was administered to nearly three million students worldwide; 1.6 million students took the ACT in 2011. The new testing requirements in-
clude making students upload a photograph of themselves when they register for the SAT or ACT. Those unable to upload a photo will be permitted to mail in a photo, which will be scanned by the testing agency. Then, an admission ticket into the testing site, containing the scanned photo, will be mailed to the student. The photo will not only be printed on the admission ticket, but on the test site roster, and can be checked against the photo ID a student provides at the test center. That photo will be attached to students’ scores as they are reported to high schools and colleges. Other changes include checking student IDs more frequently at test centers; IDs will be checked when students enter a test site, and whenever they reenter the test room after breaks, and again when the answer sheets are collected.

‘Titanic’ now 3D LONDON (AP) — Actress Kate Winslet and director James Cameron walked the red carpet in London on Tuesday for the premiere of the 3D version of the hit movie “Titanic.” The 1997 drama — one of the highest grossing films of all time — will be available in British cinemas in 3D in April, coinciding with the 100th anniversary of the Titanic’s doomed maiden voyage from southern England’s Southampton in April 1912. “The 3D enriches all of Titanic’s most thrilling moments and its most emotional moments,” Cameron told reporters. “It kicks the whole experience up to another level.” The director came to London fresh from his latest venture, which saw him descending seven miles (11 1/4 kilometers) below the surface of the Pacific to the deepest place on Earth.

Puppy may be tiniest dog ever SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — A puppy named after one of the world’s biggest pop stars could set the world’s record for tiniest dog. Animal rescuers in Northern California say the female Dachshund mix, named Beyonce, was so small at birth that she could fit into a spoon. At two weeks, she'’ about the size of a business card. The Grace Foundation, based in El Dorado County, says animal control picked up Beyonce’s pregnant mother, and she gave birth to a litter of five on March 8. Beyonce was the last one delivered, and was born without a heartbeat. Veterinarians managed to revive her through chest compressions and mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.

LEBANESE ARMY soldiers search a car during a raid, at the Lebanese-Syrian border town of Qaa, in northeastern Lebanon, Tuesday. Syria has accepted a peace plan by U.N. envoy Kofi Annan that includes a government cease-fire, but the bloodshed persisted Tuesday as intense clashes between soldiers and rebels spilled across the border into Lebanon, officials said.
Syria accepts peace plan QAA, Lebanon (AP) — Syria accepted a cease-fire drawn up by U.N. envoy Kofi Annan on Tuesday, but the diplomatic breakthrough was swiftly overshadowed by intense clashes between government soldiers and rebels that sent bullets flying into Lebanon. Opposition members accuse President Bashar Assad of agreeing to the plan to stall for time as his troops make a renewed push to kill off bastions of dissent. And the conflict just keeps getting deadlier: The U.N. said the death toll has grown to more than 9,000, a sobering assessment of a devastating year-old crackdown on the uprising that shows no sign of ending. Annan’s announcement that Syria had accepted his peace plan was met with deep skepticism. “We are not sure if it’s political maneuvering or a sincere act,” said Louay Safi, a member of the opposition Syrian National Council. “We have no trust in the current regime. … We have to see that they have stopped killing civilians.”
British Foreign Secretary William Hague said Assad’s decision to accept the plan was only a first step. “We will continue to judge the Syrian regime by its practical actions, not by its often empty words,” he said. In Washington, State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said Assad must act quickly to convince the world he is serious about peace by “silencing his guns and allowing humanitarian aid to get in.” Annan’s plan calls for an immediate, two-hour halt in fighting every day to allow humanitarian access and medical evacuations. The plan also outlines a complete cease-fire, but that will take more time because Syria must first move troops and equipment out of cities and towns, government forces and the divided opposition must stop fighting, and a U.N.-supervised monitoring mission must be established. Annan, who is an envoy for the U.N. and the Arab League, has traveled to Russia and China to shore up support for
his peace plan. Russia and China have twice shielded Assad from U.N. sanctions over his crackdown, saying the statements were unbalanced and blamed only the government. Syria is Moscow’s last remaining ally in the Middle East and is a major customer for Russia’s arms industry, but the Kremlin has recently shown impatience with Assad. In Beijing on Tuesday, Annan said China has offered its “full support” for his mission. In contrast, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad offered Assad unequivocal support. “I’m very happy that Syrian authorities are managing the situation with confidence,” the official Iranian news agency quoted Ahmadinejad as saying. He echoed Assad’s charge that rebels are acting out a Western conspiracy. “Americans want to dominate Syria, Lebanon, Iran and all other countries through the false slogan of defending the freedom of the (Syrian) people, and we must be alert toward their conspiracy,” he
DEBATE The court focused on whether the mandate for Americans to have insurance “is a step beyond what our cases allow,” in the words of Justice Anthony Kennedy. But Kennedy, who is often the swing vote on cases that divide the justices along ideological lines, also said he recognized the magnitude of the nation’s health care problems and seemed to suggest they would require a comprehensive solution. He and Chief Justice John Roberts emerged as the apparent pivotal votes in the court’s decision. The ruling is due in June in the midst of a presidential election campaign that has focused in part on the new law. Though many of the justices asked tough questions and made strong statements, past cases have shown that those
STERLING, Va. (AP) — As a married woman, Marisa Hannum had her family’s conservatism in mind when she backed Republicans in the 2008 and 2004 presidential elections. Now divorced, she is putting her own interests first as she weighs whether to vote for Democratic President Barack Obama or his Republican challenger this fall. She’s an abortion opponent, worried about her finances and concerned for friends who can’t find jobs. She’s dumbfounded that anyone is questioning birth control access in 2012. And she has only a glimmer of an idea of how she’ll vote in November. “Now I am a little bit better informed. But I am really on the fence,” says Hannum, 30, an assistant restaurant manager, as she stops by the post office in this Washington suburb — a region filled with single women that Democrats and Republicans alike are targeting. In an election year heavily focused on social issues and the economy, Democrats are trying to energize unmarried females who overwhelmingly vote for their candidates while Republicans work to peel them away. Political math tells the story of the so-called marriage gap: exit polls show that women are a majority of voters in presidential election years and about four in 10 female voters don’t have a spouse. They lean more heavily Democratic than their married counterparts. But the U.S. census says about 22 percent of them are unregistered, a rich pool of potential new voters for both parties competing for the presidency and the majorities in Congress.
From Page 1 don’t necessarily translate into votes when it comes time for a decision. Wednesday’s final arguments — the third day in the unusually long series of hearings — will focus on whether the rest of the law can remain even if the insurance mandate is struck down and, separately, on the constitutionality of another provision expanding the federal-state Medicaid program. The insurance requirement is intended to complement two unchallenged provisions of the law that require insurers to cover people regardless of existing medical conditions and limit how much they can charge in premiums based on a person’s age or health. The law envisions that insurers will be able to accommodate older and sicker people without facing financial ruin
because the insurance requirement will provide insurance companies with more premiums from healthy people to cover the increased costs of care. The biggest issue, to which the justices returned repeatedly during two hours of arguments in a packed courtroom, was whether the government can force people to buy insurance. “Purchase insurance in this case, something else in the next case,” Roberts said. “If the government can do this, what else can it not do?” Justice Antonin Scalia asked. He and Justice Samuel Alito appeared likely to join with Justice Clarence Thomas, the only justice to ask no questions, to vote to strike down the key provision of the overhaul. The four Democratic appointees seemed ready to vote
to uphold it. Kennedy at one point said that allowing the government mandate would “change the relationship” between the government and U.S. citizens. “Do you not have a heavy burden of justification to show authorization under the Constitution” for the individual mandate? asked Kennedy. At another point, however, he also acknowledged the complexity of resolving the issue of paying for America’s health care needs. “I think it is true that if most questions in life are matters of degree … the young person who is uninsured is uniquely proximately very close to affecting the rates of insurance and the costs of providing medical care in a way that is not true in other industries. That’s my concern in the case,” Kennedy said.

His Bachelor of Fine Art is from the Columbus College of Art and Design with a dual focus in painting and sculpture. He will be present at the opening reception and display his new work, a series called “The Absolutes.” Of the series, he said, “This body of work describes the journey of absolutes in an otherwise relative world. The objects portrayed in this series have been personified to explain the fixed position of an absolute concept, regardless of the relative contexts that are forced on it. It is a relationship between two worlds, where one is always subordinate to the other. Yet, there is a beauty and humanity to the reasons an absolute concept must stay absolute. The relationship and loving tension between these two beliefs inform the entire situation, creating value as a whole that is worth more than each part as an individual.”

LETTER
TO THE EDITOR
Questions raised To the editor: I haven’t written anything for a while. Due to global warming, if there is actually such a thing, this has been a rather dull winter. Being bored, I have been wondering and I question a lot of things. Some examples are as follows: • If dogs have a sense of smell 100 times better than humans do, why then do they have to have that sensitive nose so close to recognize another dog? • When you blow in their face, they nip at you — but stick their head out of a car moving 50 miles an hour? • Why did we spend tens of thousands of dollars on 25A at the edge of town and have to dodge chuckholes all over town? • Why is the fine higher for speeding or running a stop sign than it is for dealing crack? • Why is every fine and jail time reduced and why are repetitive criminals turned loose on their good word? (If their word was worth anything, they wouldn’t be before the court.) • Why is the sheriff’s department hunting people of questionable morals when we have a (suspended) sheriff using a county computer to hunt women? • Why can’t we have anything on the ground at the cemetery? Maybe we need more than two caretakers. Maybe some of the criminals could help mow instead of being released on their good word. • Why has the federal government passed a law that all businesses have to be handicap-accessible but a person in a wheelchair can’t buy a stamp at the Sidney post office? • It’s time to mow the yard as it has warmed up but why do I mow the little strip between the sidewalk and street when I can’t even put a sign on it? Just wondering. Ronald Coleman 217 E. Pinehurst St.

TO THE EDITOR
Who will benefit from proposed wind farm? To the editor: Last week’s letter to the editor, “What’s the wind mean?” gave us all serious food for thought. The letter asked us to consider the effects of the locally proposed 100-150-turbine wind farm on landscape and property values, energy cost, health and wildlife. Heavy — 400-ton — machinery will access our fields. This means extreme weight on our roads and soil. In Van Wert County, the developer’s equipment destroyed roads, which were never properly repaired, leaving the county to repair them. Heavy machinery crushes tile systems and compacts soil. If your tile is intact but mine is crushed, what will happen to your land and properties upstream? Soil compaction also directly affects crop yield. At other wind farms, 10-inch-deep breaker-rock roads were laid; this decreases the number of tillable acres and reintroduces damaging rocks to the land. Each turbine requires a 30- to 40-foot concrete base, so where will the subsoil be spread? The developer tells us that they will fix, remove or undo each of these problems, but the contracts specify little as the responsibility of the developer and come with a long list of restrictions on the landowner. As far as the
windfall to the county, the schools and the townships, if the land and home values decrease by 20 to 40 percent and/or people move out of the district, aren’t fewer tax dollars available? According to the EPA, our region of the country is a 2 out of 7 in wind class, little more than nothing in wind production as compared with the far western U.S. And this kind of wind farm costs $2,000 to $3,000 per kilowatt to install, all with our tax dollars. Denmark’s cost-per-kilowatt hour has increased dramatically since they installed wind turbines. What’s more, the energy generated by these turbines is not going to benefit us directly. Depending on the developer, it is sent to Michigan or Illinois or another state. And that’s where the jobs the developer told us about are as well — another state — or country. The health and wildlife issues deserve another letter, but for now, is all this really a deal? Who’s getting the deal? Is it us, or is it Mainstream? My grandmother, who tilled this land with my grandfather, told me, “If something seems too good to be true, it probably is.” Renee Wildermuth 18840 Botkins Road Jackson Center
Buddy Roemer has the answers To the editor: Buddy Roemer is the leading declared candidate at Americans Elect (which allows you to sign up for free and nominate/support a candidate to be on the ballot in all 50 states). I recommend you support Buddy. He grew up on a cotton farm, then went to Harvard at the age of 16. He was a conservative Democrat who voted on Reagan’s side a lot, so he was a natural to switch to Republican (now, he’s independent). He served as Louisiana’s governor, but has been in the private sector the last 20 years, starting and running three successful businesses (including a $750 million bank, which took no bailouts and foreclosed on no one ). He’s a 68-year-old grandfather who had no desire for politics again — but says the country is on the wrong track. Our D.C. politicians are funded and steered by wealthy campaign donors profiting off our “Ponzischeme-like,” “financialized”/“Wall St. investment banker-led,” “fedtreasury-abetted” system and off of the “global economy” (short-term profits feeding off the American people as consumers, not producers). These elites (such as the big shots and owners of Goldman Sachs, GE, etc.) have made (and are continuing to make — “thanks to the Fed giving them $16.1 trillion, 2008-2010 — and counting — of zero-interest
loans and the SEC-regulated FASB in April ’09 allowing them to massively over-value their “underwater’ assets”) huge profits off this “race to the bottom” as the middle class gets poorer. Roemer knows the “games” these people use and how to fix America (“stop the corruption,” “stop the financial greed,” “put the banking and finance communities back on a ‘short leash’ and ‘solid ground’ ” and “put America back to work — getting the capital back behind production”). Roemer says, “DC’s not broken — it’s bought and paid for.” He wants to kick the big money out of politics and won’t take a donation over $100. One streetwise definition of “insanity” is to “keep doing the same thing and expect different results.” We have been bouncing back and forth between these modern “Wall Street investment banker-financed,” “free-trade” globalist Republocrats and Demicans, now for 20 years (of course, the “mainstream” dinosaur media always tell us, “they’re the only realistic ones to choose from”). It’s time “we the people” take over this country, again with a candidate like Andrew Jackson or Teddy Roosevelt.

Angels come to Minster Koenig licensed MINSTER — Visiting Angels, one of the nation’s fastest growing providers of assisted living services for seniors, has opened its newest franchise in Minster. The new location, owned and operated by the brother/sister team of John Paul and Maggie Slonkosky, provides nonmedical senior homecare to help elderly and older adults to continue to live in their homes. The new Visiting Angels location is 96 W. Fourth St. in downtown Minster. The agency, however, will serve communities throughout Allen, Auglaize, Shelby and Miami counties. John Paul has previous experience in health care, working for a health system in Indiana and then for Press Ganey Associates, the nation’s leader in patient satisfac-
tion services. Maggie has held various positions in both teaching and business, and has maintained a small commission-art practice. But, it is not their professional experience that motivates this recent decision, rather the experience of watching and helping their grandmother age. The Slonkoskys know firsthand how important athome care giving is for a loved one. “The elderly is the fastest growing segment of the American population, with one out of every seven Americans now over the age of 65,” said John Paul. “At the same time, working families have less time to spend caring for their aging parents, which has created a real crisis in America. Visiting Angels solves that problem by provid-
ing non-medical senior care in the home of either the elderly client or the family who cares for the parent. In that respect, we do serve as angels, helping with basic chores, personal hygiene, meal preparation, shopping, companionship and providing a respite for family caregivers.” Nationwide, there are more than 430 Visiting Angel franchises, with more to open during 2012. “I was attracted to the business by the opportunity to support those in need of this service, and also to start the business within our community,” said Maggie. “The franchiser has been a wonderful source of support, providing lots of ideas, marketing programs, as well as information about how to best serve our
clients, many of whom are facing difficult personal issues. Our job is to lessen their burden, and provide their families with peace of mind. This is a way to let Mom or Dad continue to live in the home they have grown to love over the years.” Visiting Angels is the nation’s fastest growing franchisor of at-home assisted living services for seniors. Nationwide, the demand for non-medical senior homecare is at an all-time high, as Americans age and more elderly are living on their own. Founded in 1998, it is based in Havertown, Pa.

Urgent care opens new sites Hometown Urgent Care, Ohio’s largest Urgent Care company, is now reportedly the fastest growing urgent care company in the Midwest. The company has opened five clinics in less than two months, expanding from Ohio into Michigan and Kentucky. The company has an outlet in the Sidney Plaza. “Expansion into Michigan and Kentucky is part of our vision to be the leading provider of Urgent Care services in
the Midwest Region” said Brian Barbaric, Director of Marketing for Hometown. “We work with local ERs across the Midwest to make our quality health care affordable and convenient. While ERs are important for life-threatening conditions, ERs are over utilized and overburdened with minor injuries and illnesses which can be taken care of in a full-service facility like Hometown Urgent Care.” Barberic continued, “The average wait time
here at Hometown is less that one quarter the wait time for the ER. The cost can be up to 88 percent less than the ER, and the co-pay is usually one third of the ER. Compared to the ER, each visit will save, on average, over $1,000 in health care costs. Our goal is simple: Quality, affordable health care, seven days a week.” Hometown is a fullyequipped Urgent Care and Occupational Health Center, with onsite X-rays, labs, EKGs and prescriptions.

Chamber members can save on energy costs Earlier this month, the Sidney-Shelby County Chamber of Commerce announced a new energy-cost-savings program for the benefit of its membership. In partnership with DPL Energy, Chamber members are being offered the opportunity to participate in one of two cost-savings options. The first is a fixed rate of 5.5 cents per kilowatt-hour for 24 months. The second is a guaranteed 17 percent discount off the Dayton Power & Light standard offer through December.
To qualify, participating businesses must be DPL Energy customers and members of the Sidney-Shelby County Chamber of Commerce, have monthly electric demand of less than 100 kW and electric usage of less than 700,000 kWh per year. This level of commercial consumption is typically associated with small- to mediumsized businesses in retail, restaurant, professional and personal services, health care and banks. According to Chamber President Jeff Raible,
fers the most comprehensive urgent care services, including treatment for minor injuries such as minor fractures, lacerations, sprains, infections and common illnesses such as flu, cold, coughs and congestion. Hometown also offers comprehensive health services for employers such as work injuries, physicals, DOT/NonDOT drug and alcohol testing and specialized, industry-specific testing.

CINCINNATI — Staffmark, with an outlet in Sidney, has announced it has been named to Inavero’s 2012 Best of Staffing client list. Best of Staffing, presented in partnership with CareerBuilder, is the nation’s only award that recognizes staffing firms based on client reviews. Fewer than 1 percent of North American staffing firms have been named to the list. “This recognition that Staffmark is in the top 1 percent of staffing firms in the U.S. and Canada demonstrates our commitment to our clients,” said Lesa Francis, president and chief executive officer of Staffmark. “Our team of exceptional employees is proud and honored to have been named to the Best of Staffing list and to be recognized for our client
satisfaction efforts in this way.” Staffing firms competing to make the Best of Staffing list underwent a client survey process followed by analysis of responses to determine satisfaction levels, Inavero officials said. Staffmark received satisfaction ratings of nine or 10 out of 10 from 64.7 percent of their clients, over the industry’s average of 50 percent. Best of Staffing participants secured a place on the list by earning an average Net Promoter Score that was nearly double the national staffing industry benchmark for client satisfaction. “The staffing industry continues to play a key role in helping to revitalize the economy,” said Eric Gregg, Inavero’s founder and CEO. “Staffing firms give
growth-minded organizations a more flexible alternative to recruiting their own employees, letting both the employee and employer determines if the fit is right for a more permanent position. Both sides receive tremendous value in a flexible, yet meaningful working relationship, and as they engage with staffing firms to help achieve those goals, the service experience they have is very important to their success. The Best of Staffing lists are a resource for businesses and talent who are trying to find staffing firms that provide exceptional service.” Inavero’s complete Best of Staffing list can be viewed at www.bestofstaffing.com.

RECESSION weekly to tap into resources of the Job Search Focus Group, a professional networking organization. One by one, newcomers introduce themselves: Laid-off lawyers, plant managers, marketing executives, nonprofit directors, professionals from every field. They share their resumes and decades of work experience with the crowd. The lineup is proof that the recession left no job sector unscathed. “Every week I see people come in here and come to the realization that they are not a loser,” says Bob Pautke, president of the group. “There are very qualified and very talented candidates. And the fact is there are a lot of other people out there who are in their position.” Reinventing a career For the long-term unemployed, there are levels of low, David McCarty says. There’s self-pity that leaves you asking: Why is this happening to me? There’s selfdoubt that creeps in after being rejected by yet another employer. And then there’s that place, somewhere near the bottom, when you need a job so badly that you end up taking one that leaves you deeper in the hole than when you started. “It’s a vicious cycle,” says McCarty, 55, a West Chester Township resident who spent nearly 20 lucrative years in the telecom industry before finding himself out of work in 2004. During his career, McCarty had risen through the ranks, working in executive positions with major long-distance providers. He even helped launch one of the first pre-paid phone-card companies. But with a resume that touted vice president positions and hefty salaries, McCarty found his job search to be tougher than expected. “It was almost comical the jobs I got turned away from. I couldn’t even get a job as a telecommunications service rep with Cincinnati Bell,” he says. “People just said you’re over-qualified.” A string of commission-only positions, ranging from consulting work to selling office equipment, turned out to be worse. McCarty found himself digging into his own wallet to foot the bill for work and travel expenses. “I went from making a six-

Then McCarty’s wife Mary was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis in 2009. The family had no health insurance and little left in savings. They lost their home 10 days before Christmas in 2010. The family packed up and moved into a condominium that they continue to rent today. McCarty went into survivor mode. “You do what you have to to get by each day, then you can begin recovering,” he said. Rather than continue to hunt for a job that leveraged his experience as an executive, McCarty decided to refocus his search altogether. He had seen the signs numerous times, posted on the sides of semitrucks: Drivers needed. After a few months training, McCarty had his commercial driver’s license and a completely new career in front of him. Now, McCarty spends up to six days a week in a big rig hauling 50,000 pounds of hazardous materials, mostly animal fats, across the country. Every penny that comes in is accounted for. “I don’t love driving a truck, but there are trucking jobs available,” McCarty says. Through all the strife, he hasn’t lost his optimism. In his limited free time, he works on a handful of retailbased web sites he created that he hopes takes off. Among them is www.collegefootballfanstore.com where visitors can buy an assort-
FIREFIGHTER Lundy has been also honored for his involvement at the scene of an auto accident to free a trapped driver in 2009. “His nomination reads,” Jones told council members, ‘Brian is a team player and positive role model for all crew members and is open to changes in the department, serving on many committees during our transition process’.” Lundy serves as a volunteer T-ball coach. He and his wife, Kris reside in Sidney with their three children. Jones also introduced the department’s newest
firefighter, Bryan Ramge, who joined the department last week. A graduate of Mason High School, he completed his Level I firefighting and EM basic training at Butler Technical Center and Level II firefighting at Sinclair Community College. He is currently attending Butler Tech for his paramedic certification. He was previously employed as a firefighter/EMT for the Liberty Township and Fairfield Township fire departments. He serves as a staff sergeant in the U.S. Army Reserves Ramge, his wife Krista

was also introduced by Police Chief Kevin Gestner. Mayor Mike Barhorst presented a proclamation declaring April 1 Jerry Knoop Day in Sidney, honoring the retired Sidney Recreation Board member for his service of more than 30 years. “Sidney is a great town and Sidney residents are great people. Our recreation facilities are the best,” Knoop said after accepting the award. Scoutmaster Chuck Craynon attended Monday night’s meeting with three of his Troop 97
ment of NCAA school gear. “I’m not giving up,” he says. “I still plan on winning this fight. If I can drive a truck and survive what we’ve been through, I can do darn near anything.” Retooling for the future The instructor in the shop looks younger than Warren James’ daughter. James spent more than half his life working with specialty metals, running multimilliondollar equipment. Now at 56, the Cleveland man is without a job and back in school, learning advanced manufacturing alongside teenagers. “I would have topped out at about $27 (an hour) and change. I had 30 days of vacation. They had a good 401(k) program,” says James, who worked at CSM Industries from 1977 to 2009. “It was a good job. I was making decent money.” After losing his job, James invested his severance pay in a new carpentry business that he eventually took a loss on. Despite his 30-plus years in manufacturing, all he could find was temporary work - a few months at one job, a few days at another. On top of that, his wife, Annette, had to take a pay cut. He began to lose his footing. Bills piled up, and the family lost their home to foreclosure. Retirement savings and money James had hoped to put toward his son and daughter’s college vanished as well. James knew that the skills he used in his old job weren’t going to help him find his next job. So now he’s taking classes

at Cuyahoga Community College’s Unified Technology Center, learning how to run CNC machines. The computer-programmed tools are used in almost every manufacturing plant in the country. By April, he hopes to earn certifications for operating and programming the tools. Already, James has landed a few interviews and assurances from companies that they need skilled CNC people. He says he’s confident that he won’t be unemployed much longer. “I don’t really view losing the job as such a bad thing. Now, I feel like I have another career, and I have an opportunity to do something I really wanted to do,” he says. Commitment, optimism required Eric Russell, 52, has built a command center at home dedicated to one purpose: getting himself back to work. It all revolves around a white board with commands, messages and reminders for himself. “I worked in the construction industry, and I bought into a business, and that didn’t work out,” says Russell, a resident of Sylvania, a Toledo suburb. “I thought in 2006 I could go back to the construction industry.” But that’s when construction took a turn for the worst, and Russell went back to school. He already had an engineering degree from the University of Toledo. So he followed the experts’ advice and determined to get trained in something new. He recently completed a master’s degree in organizational development from Bowling Green State University. So far, it hasn’t helped, and Russell knows why. “I just recently had a great phone call with a recruiter that put everything in perspective for me,” he says. “What I learned is that people can ask for exactly what they want in a candidate … right down to left-handed or righthanded.” Russell has his own website, complete with an impressive resume and a 15-minute video to replace the initial telephone interview for employers. He’s well aware that he’s competing with younger applicants who don’t have gray hair and won’t ask as much in salary or health care.
On Thursday, the series concludes with baby boomers and Ohio’s population.

A widower with no children, Russell has minimized his own expenses and stretches out every dollar. But he is anything but downtrodden or frustrated. In 2011, he sent out 34 applications. “I relaunched my job search last September, and what I am finding now is all kinds of reasons that I need to start my own consulting work,” he says. Networking, interviewing, volunteering, surviving Each Monday, job hunters at Cincinnati’s Job Search Focus are armed with a long list of tips for networking, interviewing and coping. “Volunteer work is the best form of networking,” Pautke tells a recent crowd. “It shows people your character and work ethic.” He says too often the unemployed let embarrassment, pride and grief get in the way of an honest job hunt. “People do have to go through a grieving period, it’s natural,” he says. “But really, it’s best to get through it, and get on with it.” It’s not entirely surprising that the 45-and-up crowd are having a tough time landing jobs, Pautke says. “For decades, U.S. workers operated on unwritten rules that as long as they remained loyal to a company they were guaranteed a job,” he says. “That was really never an honest deal. “ Some experts say the problem is rooted in age discrimination by employers looking for cheaper, often younger workers. Others cite older workers who didn’t stay on top of their skills, Pautke says. “There is truth on both parts,” he says. “At the end of the day, the real question comes down to, ‘What do you have to offer?’ I tell everyone who comes through here, no matter your age - you have to find the value that you offer an employer and go with it.” ——— Robert Schoenberger of The (Cleveland) Plain Dealer and Ignazio Messina of The (Toledo) Blade contributed to this report. ——— Information from: The Cincinnati Enquirer, http://www.enquirer.com

March 28, 1912 The Sidney Telephone Company has filed a complaint with the Public Service Commission asking it to delay the extension of the Farmers’ Telephone Co., until an investigation of the latter’s alleged violation of the commission’s regulations can be made. The complaint alleges the defendant has been issuing stocks and bonds since July 1, 1911, without the consent of the commission, and that it has been soliciting subscriptions to its stock in the village of Anna, representing that it has franchises from the village. ––––– Approximately 50 persons met in the assembly room of the courthouse yesterday afternoon and organized the Shelby County, Ohio, Poultry Association. The following officers were elected at the meeting: N.H. Baker, president; L.V. Ward, vice president; Logan W. Marshall, secretary; Clyde C. Carey, assistant secretary; Isaac Green, treasurer. Initial steps looking to the holding of a poultry and pet show next fall were taken. By that time, it is hoped the organization will have at least 100 members.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Discussions with authority figures will go well today. Because they think highly of you, they might ask for your creative input on something. This could cause a rift with a friend or a group. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Avoid confrontations with authority figures today. Instead, use today’s energy to make
LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Relations with coworkers or anyone you deal with in doing your work today will be very good. People are cooperative. (Unfortunately, partners and close friends aren’t!)

It marks the first time in the 150-year history of Sidney City Schools that any event has been named for a former coach.
Lehman’s Smith fans all 9 he faces The Lehman Cavaliers won their second in a row to start the baseball season Tuesday, beating the Botkins Trojans 10-5 high school action at Lehman. Head coach Dave King was hoping he would not have to use Smith ace pitcher Alex Smith, but when Botkins got three in the top of the fourth to take a 5-4 lead, he had no choice. The Cavs scored four in in the bottom of the fourth to regain the lead, and Smith came on to pitch the fifth, sixth and seventh innings. He struck out all nine hitters he faced, five swinging and four looking, to get the save. Ben Weber and Andrew Gilardi both doubled for the Cavaliers.

GOODYEAR, Ariz. (AP) — Right-hander Mat Latos threw a pitch and pulled up awkwardly. Just like that, the Cincinnati Reds had another pitching concern. Latos strained his left calf while throwing a pitch during the fifth inning of a 7-4 loss to the Chicago Cubs on Tuesday, forcing him from the game. He was listed as day to day. The Reds’ No. 2 starter got hurt three days after they learned that closer Ryan Madson needs reconstructive elbow surgery, ending his season. “It’s better than (hurting) his knee,” manager Dusty Baker said. “The ground is hard. He kept hitting a hole out there. You could tell when he walked the pitcher that something’s not right. He wanted to finish, but we said now’s not the time. We have too many guys going down. We thought caution was the best.” Latos walked opposing pitcher Matt Garza, who was trying to bunt a runner to second. Latos then left in the middle of an at-bat by Alfonso Soriano. “I’m alive and fine,” Latos said. “I just put a little ice on it. I’m fine. It was just a precaution.” Garza was scheduled to pitch six innings for the Cubs, but was taken out after the first two batters in the fifth reached. Garza gave up two runs and fanned six. He also gave the Cubs a scare, diving on the gravel in front of the Reds’ dugout to save a wild throw from going out of play. “That was awesome,” Garza said. “I didn’t know where I was. I wanted to keep the ball from rolling into the dugout. I should have let it roll into the fence. The dirt was hard. I got a little cut up but I’d rather do that than risk the ball going into the dugout and giving up an extra run.” A meaningless spring training game made no difference to him. “It’s a game. It’s like saying don’t compete, don’t go out there and even try,” he said. “You have to work on stuff at the same time you want to win. I have one more game then it’s time to fly home. I’m looking forward to that one.” Garza reached his 80-pitch limit and was relieved by Shawn Camp, who let in the two baserunners charged to the starter. Former Red Dave Sappelt hit a three-run home run off Clayton Tanner in the ninth inning. Wellington Castillo also had a solo shot off Tanner in the ninth. Brandon Phillips had four hits, including two doubles, for the Reds, who plan to use him as their leadoff hitter. Joey Votto and Drew Stubbs had two hits each. Stubbs will be dropped from the leadoff spot to start the season. NOTES: Darwin Barney had three hits, including two doubles, for the Cubs, raising his average to .389. ... Bryan LaHair had two doubles among his three hits. He leads the Cubs with seven doubles. ... Sean Marshall, who could replace Madson as the Reds’ closer, pitched a scoreless inning. It was his sixth straight scoreless appearance. ... OF Ryan Ludwick was sent home with nausea which caused him to be scratched on Monday night. “He’s sicker today,” Baker said. “He wanted to play but we sent him home. We want to quarantine him so no one else gets sick.”

Several agencies help local homeless population BY TOM BARNETT tbarnett@sdnccg.com You don’t see them on the streets, sitting on downtown benches or living in their cars. And their number still hasn’t reached epic proportion. They’re Sidney and Shelby County’s homeless, a segment of the community currently living mostly in domestic violence shelters and mental health and drug and alcohol treatment facilities. “The number of homeless people really hasn’t increased, but it hasn’t gone down either,” Jan Geuy, the director of Alpha Community Center, said. “Many don’t have a home, but move from place to place, Most are victims of incidents where they find themselves in the situation.” “A lot of people are not permanently housed, however,” Geuy said. “All shelters in Shelby County are committed to special programs — drug and alcohol abuse rehabilitation, mental health, domestic violence,” she continued. “There’s no shelter for someone straight-up homeless.” Maj. Angie Carter, of the Salvation Army in Sidney, said the Salvation Army is currently seeking approval from divisional headquarters to provide a transitional-living facility for homeless families. “If plans are approved, families would be able to stay, budget, look for work and network with other agencies,” she said. The project’s scope rests with details of the architect’s plans, Carter added. Samaritan Works operates two residential shelters

ALPHA COMMUNITY Center volunteer Sue Hull (left) pours chili onto the baked potato of Roger Stewart at the Alpha Community Center Tuesday. The Alpha Community Center is among local agencies that help homeless people. for recovery from drug and alcohol dependency — Amelia House for women and Serenity House for men. Shelby House serves recovering male alcoholics. Sidney Municipal Court assigns defendants to the various halfway houses through the Shelby County Counseling Center. “Statistics obtained from Shelby County Continuum of Care establish current homeless totals at 35 — 22 men and 13 women,” Geuy said. The information is obtained from churches, schools, campgrounds and related sources, verified by last digits of Social Security cards. Barbara Staley, of First
United Methodist Church’s ministerial staff, said the Shelby County Ministerial Association and related local groups are trying to bring awareness of the problem “to bring Shelby County together as a community to solve it. “Overnight shelters do not solve the problem,” she continued, “and we need to help them find identities, skills and jobs.” She said she feels homelessness is the Christian community’s “largest growing problem.” Alpha Center’s Geuy said there have been attempts in the past by groups and individuals to provide shelters to address homelessness,
“but most community residents don’t want a homeless shelter near them. There’s also the problem of meeting building codes and the costs of operating such a facility. “Still, the Shelby County Ministerium and Continuum of Care are trying to find a way to address general homelessness.” A hot meal is available Monday through Saturday at Alpha Center, and Agape Distribution Center and local churches provide food, personal care items, blankets and other goods, but do not offer shelter. Alpha also offers rent and utility assistance to families in need.
City offers free mulch The city of Sidney will be offering free leaf mulch each Saturday from 8 a.m. to noon from April 14 through May 12. No wood chips will be available this year. Mulch is available at the city’s compost facility at 690 Brooklyn Ave. For more information, gardeners may call 498-8159.

Training for farm accidents Retired firefighter Gary Theurer, of Erlanger, Ky., talks to a group of local firefighters and emergency personnel about how to deal with accidents involving combines. The talk was part of a Farm Accident Rescue Management School held at the Ted Winner farm at 8645 Mason Road Sunday. The program was sponsored by the Shelby County Firefighters Association, Emergency Management Agency, Farm Bureau, Shelby County Commissioners, Ohio State University Extension and several businesses.
Agency discusses need for board members The Tri-County Community Action Partnership (CAP) Board discussed a need for more board members at its recent meeting. Board members were asked to recommend people to serve as new board members for the Shelby County low-income,
private and public sectors. The CAP plans to hold a series of public meetings at the Shelby County CAP office in an attempt to get more individuals interested in serving on the board. The meetings will be held until all vacancies are filled.
The board approved a 2012-13 OHCP Housing Assistance Grant for $175,000 to be used for home repair. The next meeting of the Tri-County CAP Board will be April 19 at 2 p.m. at the weatherization facility in Bellefontaine.

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.
