BY JOHN SEEWER The Associated Press TOLEDO (AP) — A teenager who has been imprisoned in Indiana since last fall was charged in the 2011 shooting deaths of a disabled man and his daughter, who had been bound with duct
tape at their farmhouse in western Ohio, authorities said Wednesday. The charges were a relief to residents in the rural communities of west-central Ohio near the Indiana state line where violent crimes are out of the ordinary. The November 2011 farmhouse slayings were
so shocking that parents wouldn’t allow their children to be dropped off at empty homes after school and neighbors were asked to look out for one another. Colleen Grube, 47, and her father, 70-year-old Robert Grube, were found dead by a relative in the ransacked

Sidney City Council on Monday night approved an ordinance designed to regulate panhandling activities in the city. Drafted by Law Director Jeff Amick, the ordinance regulates, but does not prohibit panhandling in the city. Amick has noted that the ordinance is similar to laws in effect in other Ohio communities, including Beavercreek. Among the prohibited panhandling activities outlined in the ordinance are activities which: • Are conducted in an intimidating/harassing manner. • Continue after being told that the solicitation is unwelcome. • Are conducted in concert with more than one person. • Are conducted within proximity to public sites. • Interfere with the conduct of events/activities. Violations would be fourth-degree misdemeanors (maximum sentence of 30 days in jail and/or $250 fine plus costs) and a third-degree misdemeanor (maximum sentence of 60 days and jail and/or $500 fine plus costs) on the third or more offense within a year. The ordinance was precipitated by reports of groups of people coming to Sidney from other communities, including a church group from Lima, to solicit money from people at the Interstate 75-Ohio 47 interchange and other locations in the city. Council authorized staff to apply for a $400,000 Community Housing Improvement Program grant. The program, if approved, would include $168,000 for four owner-occupied house rehabilitation loans to bring homes up to state residential standards; $84,000 for grants to 10 See PANHANDLING/Page 13A
County unemployment rate declines After making a post-holiday leap, Shelby County’s unemployment rate began to decline again, with the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services Bureau of Labor Market Information releasing more attractive numbers for the month of February than were seen in January. Shelby County’s unemploy-
ment rate fell to an estimated 6.9 percent in February after jumping to 7.6 percent in January. The estimated size of Shelby County’s labor force was 23,500 in February, down slightly compared to 23,600 in January. But the estimated number of people employed in the county rose, from 21,800
in January to 21,900 in February. Between the two figures, that meant a decrease of 200 estimated unemployed in the county, from 1,800 in January to 1,600 in February. Unemployment for February 2012 was 8.3 percent. County numbers are not seasonally adjusted. The statewide unemploy-
ment rate for February was estimated at 7.6 percent, a comfortable decrease from January’s 8.4 percent figure, not seasonally adjusted. The seasonally adjusted state rate of unemployment for February was 7 percent, holding steady with the same rate from January. Last year, unSee RATE/Page 3A

LOS ANGELES (AP) — “Today” weekend anchor Jenna Wolfe says she and NBC news correspondent Stephanie Gosk are expecting a baby girl in August. A smiling, joking Wolfe made her announcement on NBC’s morning show Wednesday, saying, “I’m quite pregnant, actually.” The baby is due in midAugust, the 39-year-old Wolfe said. “You kept a secret pretty good,” ”Today” anchor Savannah Guthrie told Wolfe. In a blog posted on the “Today” website, Wolfe said she and Gosk, 40, were two years into their relationship when they realized they wanted to “share our adventures with a wide-eyed little person.” In a People magazine story out Friday, Wolfe discussed why the couple decided to share news of their pregnancy and relationship. As Wolfe put it: “I don’t want to bring my daughter into a world where I’m not comfortable telling everyone who I am and who her mother is.” Other TV journalists who have come out as gay include Anderson Cooper of CNN, Sam Champion of ABC and CNN’s Don Lemon.

homicide, robbery and other charges. Sanders is from Union City, a town that straddles Indiana and Ohio, but he’s been in prison in Indiana since October 2012 on unrelated theft charges. Ohio authorities are working to bring him back to the state, where his case will begin in juvenile court since he was 17 when the father and daughter were killed, Mercer County Sheriff Jeff Grey said. Bryant Rhoades, 22, also from Union City, was charged with obstruction of justice. He was arrested Tuesday morning and made an initial court appearance
later in the day. He was being held on a $350,000 bond, but it was not clear whether he has an attorney yet. More people could be charged, the sheriff said. “It’s been 16 months,” Grey said in announcing the long-awaited arrests. “In those 16 months, this case has never been cold.” Investigators interviewed more than 250 people and traveled to three other states, he said. The big break came in January 2012, Grey said, when Indiana authorities contacted his office and said they made an arrest in unrelated case and were curious
whether there was a connection to the farmhouse slayings. The sheriff would not release many details on Wednesday about the arrests. “We don’t have these kind of cases in Mercer County so I want to be very, very careful in what I say,” he said. Authorities have said both victims were shot during what appeared to be a robbery. Colleen Grube’s sister-in-law found the bodies after she didn’t show up to baby-sit her niece. She said she found Robert Grube dead in his wheelchair and his daughter’s body on a couch.

John Leatherman, president of the Medina City Teachers Association, told the newspaper Freeman’s resignation “is probably the start of what needs to happen for the community and the district to heal.” Board members were expected to talk about a plan to improve spending oversight Wednesday night in Medina, about 30 miles southwest of Cleveland. The board had encouraged Stepp’s pursuit of a master’s in business administration from Case Western Reserve University, which cost $93,000. Stepp, who had a master’s and doctorate, also had $172,000 in college loans that were covered by the district under a 2011 modification of his contract. Checks to cover those costs were issued by the Medina County Schools’ Educational Service Center, using a fund that contains money left over after districts pay the center for its services.

MEDINA (AP) — The president of the Medina school board in northeast Ohio resigned as the district deals with questions about spending and the superintendent’s compensation, which included about $265,000 for his college education bills. The local teachers union criticized the Medina board’s oversight and superintendent Randy Stepp’s handling of the fund that supplied the payments for his education, The Medina Gazette reported (http://bit.ly/XGxxvI ). Board members have said they didn’t realize the total was so high. Board President Charles Freeman resigned Tuesday, calling the controversy a distraction from focusing on students. “It is my sincere hope that with new leadership, the board, union, teachers, administrators and community can again come together and place our collective focus where it belongs: on the kids,” he wrote in a letter to the board.

board’s eight members didn’t change their minds. They reaffirmed the orders to condemn the homes that they initially issued in January. Now, the families can dig proper wells and install approved concrete pits under their outhouses, appeal the orders to the Hardin County Common Pleas Court, or move. “Our goal is to live simple, God-fearing lives, and we feel your requirements are undermining our simple way of life,” Yoder said, reading from the bishops’ letter. “Our plea is to live in peace among our fellow citizens and maintain our lifestyles on our own personal properties unless it is definitely proven we are a health hazard to our neighbors.” All other Ohio counties with an Amish population have long ago settled similar disputes. Logan County, for example, agreed to let the Amish build their own pits as a compromise. Holmes County, with state’s largest the Amish population, says the Amish follow the rules.

modern technology, want to continue digging their own pits and spreading the waste on the land. The Columbus Dispatch reported that on Tuesday night, Henry Yoder read a letter signed by the Hardin County Amish community’s seven bishops asking the board to reconsider its orders. Yoder owns one of the houses that are not in compliance. “Our goal is to uphold and maintain the biblical principles of faith which our forefathers believed: to be a separate people,” Yoder read. “And, as stated in Romans 12th chapter, ‘Be ye not conformed … ‘.” County Prosecutor Brad Bailey said the issue is bigger than just two homes. Leeching and contamination from the human waste and bad wells can reach the water table and hurt others, he said. “Our rules at the health department are to prevent problems before they happen, not to react to them,” he said.

KENTON (AP) — Over the pleas of the local Amish community, a northwest Ohio health board decided to go ahead with plans to condemn two newly constructed Amish homes because they don’t have required septic systems for their outhouses. More than 100 Amish turned out Tuesday night to ask the KentonHardin County Board of Health to reconsider the condemnation order, which requires that the homes be brought into compliance or the families move out. Last summer, the health board said it would start enforcing rules that any new home must have a proper well and septic system — something the simpleliving, outhouse-using Amish have never had to do. Health inspectors have not forced existing Amish homes to change. Around 200 Amish families live in Hardin County. At issue are rules that require concrete, watertight pits under outhouses and the waste hauled away. The Amish, who turn their backs on

Fake pilot charged PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A French man accused of impersonating a pilot after he was found sitting in an airliner cockpit at Philadelphia International Airport originally asked for a seat upgrade to first class, authorities said Monday. Federal prosecutors on Monday filed charges of using a fraudulent identity against 61-year-old Philippe Jeannard of La Rochelle. He already faced state charges including trespass, forgery and false impersonation. Jeannard, who was wearing a shirt with an Air France logo and captain's epaulets on his shoulder, had a ticket for a Floridabound US Airways flight Wednesday and asked at the check-in counter for an upgrade, authorities said. He became upset when he was told there were no available seats, authorities said. A supervisor asked if he was an airline employee, and “the defendant responded that he was,” authorities said.

A boost for gay marriage: Justices question U.S. law WASHINGTON (AP) — Concluding two days of intense debate, the Supreme Court signaled Wednesday it could give a boost to same-sex marriage by striking down the federal law that denies legally married gay spouses a wide range of benefits offered to other couples. As the court wrapped up its remarkable arguments over gay marriage in America, a majority of the justices indicated they will invalidate part of the federal Defense of Marriage Act — if they can get past procedural problems similar to those that appeared to mark Tuesday’s case over California’s ban on same-sex marriage. Since the federal law was enacted in 1996, nine states and the District of Columbia have made it legal for gays and lesbians to marry. Samesex unions also were legal in California for nearly five months in 2008 before the Proposition 8 ban. Justice Anthony Kennedy, often the decisive vote in close cases, joined the four moreliberal justices in raising questions Wednesday about a provision that defines marriage as the union of a man and a woman for purposes of federal law. It affects more than 1,100 statutes in which marital status is relevant, dealing with tax breaks for married couples, Social Security survivor benefits and, for federal employees, health insurance and leave to care for spouses. Kennedy said the Defense of Marriage Act appears to intrude on the power of states that have chosen to recognize

(DOMA). Justices, from left are, Sonia Sotomayor, Stephen Breyer, Clarence Thomas, Antonin Scalia, Chief Justice John Roberts, and Justices Anthony Kennedy, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Samuel Alito and Elena Kagan. same-sex marriages. When so many federal statutes are affected, “which in our society means that the federal government is intertwined with the citizens’ day-to-day life, you are at real risk of running in conflict with what has always been thought to be the essence of the state police
power, which is to regulate marriage, divorce, custody,” Kennedy said. Other justices said the law creates what Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg called two classes of marriage, full and “skim-milk marriage.” If the court does strike down part of DOMA, it would
represent a victory for gay rights advocates. But it would be something short of the endorsement of gay marriage nationwide that some envisioned when the justices agreed in December to hear the federal case and the challenge to California’s ban on same-sex marriage.
Pope reluctant to be pope: Colo. theater shooting What does it mean? suspect offers guilty plea VATICAN CITY (AP) — He still goes by “Bergoglio” when speaking to friends, seems reluctant to call himself pope and has decided to live in the Vatican hotel rather than the grand papal apartment in the Apostolic Palace. It might seem as if Pope Francis is in a bit of denial over his new job as leader of the world’s 1.2-billion Catholics. Or perhaps he’s simply changing the popular idea of what it means to be pope, keeping the no-frills style he cultivated as archbishop of Buenos Aires in ways that may have broad implications for the church. The world has already seen how Francis has cast aside many trappings of the papacy, refusing to don the red velvet cape Benedict XVI wore for official occasions and keeping the simple, iron-plated pectoral cross he used as bishop and archbishop. On Thursday, his belief that a pope’s job is to serve the world’s lowliest will be on display when he washes the feet of a dozen young inmates at a juvenile detention center in Rome. Previous popes have celebrated the Holy Thursday ritual, which re-enacts Christ’s washing of his disciples’ feet before his crucifixion, by washing the feet of priests in one of Rome’s most ornate basilicas. Such moves hint, even at this early stage, only two weeks into his papacy, at an apparent effort by Francis to demystify the office of pope. Unlike his predecessors, he doesn’t sign his name “Pope Francis,” ending his official correspondence simply “Francis.” To those closest he is still Bergoglio, and this week, Italian state radio broadcast a voice mail he left wishing a friend Happy Birthday. “It’s Bergoglio,” the pope said, using the surname he was born with. Even on Day One, Francis didn’t acknowledge he was pope. Speaking on the loggia of St. Peter’s Basilica after his election the night of March 13, Francis told the tens of thousands gathered there that the cardinals’ task during the conclave had been to “give Rome a bishop.”
DENVER (AP) — Colorado theater shooting suspect James Holmes has offered to guilty plead and serve the rest of his life in prison to avoid the death penalty — a deal that would bring a swift end to Holmes the sometimes wrenching courtroom battle and circumvent a prolonged debate over his sanity. Prosecutors haven’t said whether they would accept the offer, and victims and survivors of last summer’s massacre were divided on what should be done. Melisa Cowden, whose exhusband was killed in the theater, said Wednesday she was resolutely opposed to a plea deal. “He didn’t give 12 people the chance to plea bargain and say, ‘Let’s see if you’re going to shoot me or not,’” said Cowden, whose two teenage daughters were with their father when he was killed.
“No. No plea bargain,” she said. The attack during a crowded midnight showing of “The Dark Knight Rises” left a dozen people dead and 70 injured. Prosecutors have said Holmes planned the assault for months, casing the theater complex in the Denver suburb of Aurora, amassing a small arsenal and rigging potentially deadly booby-traps in his apartment. Then on July 20, he donned a police-style helmet and body armor, tossed a gas canister into the theater crowd and opened fire, prosecutors said. The plea offer, made by Holmes’ lawyers on his behalf sometime before March 12, was disclosed a defense court filing on Wednesday. It was made public just days before the prosecution was set to announce whether they would seek the death penalty. The filing didn’t include the specifics of the offer. It said only that Holmes would agree to life in prison without parole — instead of the death penalty — and didn’t mention any other concessions.
Head found in ’89 IDed, linked to serial killer BY DAVID PORTER The Associated Press Almost 25 years after her severed head was found on a New Jersey golf course, police on Wednesday identified the woman they believe was the first victim of a notorious Long Island serial killer. New Jersey State Police said Heidi Balch is believed to be the first of 17 women killed by Joel Rifkin during a fouryear spree that ended when he was pulled over for a missing license plate in 1993 with a dead women’s body in the back of his pickup. Authorities have long believed the woman whose sev-
ered head was found in March 1989 on a golf course in Hopewell Township, near Trenton, was the first woman Rifkin killed. He all but admitted it after his 1993 arrest, when he provided details on where he disposed of her head and legs. Rifkin was eventually sentenced to more than 200 years in prison for the killings. But Balch’s identity remained a mystery for more than two decades. State Police Det. Sgt. Stephen Urbanski said Balch’s parents didn’t initially list her as a missing person and because Balch, who worked as a prostitute in New York City,
used several aliases and Social Security numbers. “It’s very rare that you have a story like this,” Urbanski said. “The first thing is to ID the body, and then you move on with the investigation, you look at acquaintances and things like that. In this one, the answers were there all along, we just had to put them together.” Rifkin had told police he killed a prostitute he’d known as “Susie,” Urbanski said. The search led to New York where investigators focused on a prostitute who’d gone by the name Susan Spencer — and about 15 other names. Some of the bogus Social Security
numbers she’d used were traced to Ohio and Florida, so Urbanski went to those states to check missing persons reports. Finally, investigators learned the woman had once used the name Heidi Balch, who had been listed as a missing person in New York by her aunt in 2001. Even that discovery was complicated by the revelation that the last sighting of Balch was in 1995, six years after the remains were found on the golf course. Urbanski said it was later revealed Balch’s aunt hadn’t actually seen her niece but that someone had mistakenly told her they had seen Heidi.

ANNIVERSARY
Pences note 60 years Delmar and Clarice Pence, of Sidney, will celebrate their 60th wedding anniversary with their family at a future date at Great Wolf Lodge in Mason. Delmar and the former Clarice Dowden were married April 2, 1953, in Liberty, Ind. A Presbyterian minister, the Rev. J. Roby Oldham, performed the Mr. and Mrs. Pence ceremony. Witnesses were Vera Yinger Piper and Warren Yinger. The couple had met at the Methodist Church in Maplewood while they were in grade school. Clarice is the daughter of the late Lillie and Oscar Dowden. She has two sisters and a brother-in-law, Vera Piper, of Sidney, and Janice and Ralph Davidson, of Pemberton. Delmar is the son of the late Margaret and Wilbur Pence. He has two living sisters and a brother-in-law, Ruth and Robert Weimer and Lenora Pulfer, of Sidney. Another sister, Helen Harp, is deceased.

God, where are you? a living hope — through the resurrection of Christ Jesus. These are facts! To an inheritance — incorruptible — undefiled — does not fade away — reserved in heaven for you. These are promises! Who are kept — by the power of God. These are promises! Through faith for salvation — ready to be revealed in the last time. That’s a hope! Highlights of 1 Peter 1: 13: guard your thoughts — be sober (calm, clear-headed) — rest your hope fully upon the grace that is to be brought to you at the of Jesus revelation Christ! Thats an instruction! Have you had the revelation of Jesus Christ? When that revelation comes you will realize he has not forsaken you, he has not left you, and he is with you and has given you a promise of a living hopoe. You are kept by the power of God. He was born, died and was resurrected for you to obtain that inheritance. You have that liv-
ing hope if you are a born-again child of God. So through those times of tragedies and sorrows, he’s there for you. If you are not born again, saved, a child of God … you can be right now as you read this message. God has made it so easy … admit you are a sinner in need of a Savior; believe Jesus is the son of God and died for your sins; confess your sins and ask Jesus to come into your heart. He is faithful to forgive and save your soul, to begin transforming you to his image and to send the comforter, the Holy Spirit. That’s it, now he’s with you through every tragedy and every joy giving you a peace beyond all understanding through that hope. Now you won’t have to ask, “God where are you?” You will know he is with you wanting to comfort you with a living hope! Have a Happy Easter knowing he’s alive and your hope. The writer is an evangelist at Only Believe Ministries.
Program offered to help families deal with separation VERSAILLES — St. Denis and Holy Family parishes, in collaboration with Catholic Social Services of the Miami Valley (CSSMV), will offer “Children in the Middle: Helping Kids Deal with Separation” on April 10 from 6 to 7 p.m. The program will be the eighth offering in the Parish Café series, an educational seminar designed to provide information and professional support to those who wish to bring faith and values into the everyday life of their family. This speaker series is open to the general public without cost. Programs will be held at St. Denis Catholic Church basement, 14 E. Wood St., on the second Wednesday of each month, unless otherwise noted. The guest speaker for the presentation will be Rick Williams, CSSMV lead therapist. Williams
Organ recital planned CARTHAGENA — An organ recital will be presented in Assumption Chapel at St. Charles Senior Living Community April 9 at 7 p.m. Dr. Stephen Schnurr, Organ Historical Society Historic Organs Citation Committee chairman, will perform. The program will include works by Johann Sebastian Bach, CharlesMarie Widor, Max Reger, and feature the recital premiere of a work dedicated to the recitalist: “Variations on Stabat Mater,” by composer John F. Kriebel. Free-will offerings will be accepted to assist with funding this program. For more information, contact Sister Martha Bertke, (419) 925-4516, ext. 112; email smbertke@bright.net; or www.saintcharlesseniorliving.com.
will share tips with parents to help them deal with children’s reactions to divorce or separation. Discussions will include issues such as how to deal with custody issues, child-support disputes, and parental conflict. Williams will share with parents how to reduce school absences and the harmful impact of the stress imposed on children involved in divorce or separation. “It is hard enough to raise a child in one household. When child is growing up between two homes, it makes it that much harder,” Williams said. “We hope to address the concerns of families. We want parents to leave the workshop knowing they are acting on the best interest of their children and are making their children the No. 1 priority despite difficult domestic situations.”
“While we do not want to see families face divorce or separation, we do know it is something that we must address in today’s society,” stated the Rev. Dave Vincent, pastor at St. Denis and Holy Family parishes. “We are happy that we can collaborate with Catholic Social Services to provide this valuable information for families in our community.” Other upcoming offerings include one on May 8, “Raising Kids in an Electronic Age” – How to protect and teach children how to use social media. For more information about the Parish Café programs, contact Jane Pierron of St. Denis and Holy Family at (937) 526-4945, or visit Facebook pages of St. Denis or Holy Family Catholic parishes or Catholic Social Services for updated information.
Divine Mercy Sunday service planned at Holy Angels Holy Angels Catholic Church in Sidney will observe Divine Mercy Sunday on April 7 from 2 to 4:15 p.m. Devotions will open with an explanation of Divine Mercy at 2 p.m., followed by Scripture readings, opportunities for the Sacrament of Penance, the chaplet of Divine Mercy at 3 p.m., and closing benediction at 4:15 p.m. When the late Pope John Paul II canonized Sister Faustina, he announced that henceforth the Sunday after Easter would be observed as Divine Mercy Sunday. “It is important that we accept the whole message that comes to us from the word of God on this Sunday (after Easter) which from now
BARKER INSURANCE 492-1857 9040 N. CO. RD. 25A SIDNEY
on throughout the church will be called Divine Mercy Sunday,” the pope said. Organizers of the event said the Lord requested through Faustina that a very special Feast of Divine Mercy be established in his church and solemnly celebrated on the first Sunday after Easter every year. The message and devotion to Jesus as the Divine Mercy is based on the writings of Faustina, a Polish nun who wrote a diary recording the revelations she received about God’s mercy. John Paul II said that Mercy Sunday, as the main revelation Jesus gave to Faustina, is the crowning of that gift of
mercy for the whole world. Sin is the problem; divine mercy is the answer. Even those striving for holiness are always in need of deeper repentance and conversion. Divine Mercy Sunday brings the Lord’s promise of an “ ocean of graces” for souls, especially poor sinners. Divine Mercy Sunday is an opportunity for healing and hope. More information and brochures explaining the devotion are available at the church. Faustina’s diary and video programs about Divine Mercy are also available at Peter’s Pense Religious Library in Sidney (www.peterspense.org) and at the w e b s i t e www.marian.org.

walk-throughs for security reasons. He noted that he went to the school and asked if he could do the walkthroughs and wanted to make clear that Schneider did not ask him to do that. Council members were told that Anna Rescue would be replacing the door on the rescue building at the rescue squad’s cost. According to Village Administrator Jesse Kent, Anna Rescue leases space at the Botkins Police Department and the door jamb had rotted and needed to be replaced. Anna Rescue Squad Chief Ben Luthman had asked permission to replace the door. The Fire and Safety Committee heard a report from Assistant Fire Chief Craig Swank, who reported that the Fire Department purchased a demonstration set of Jaws of Life from Sutphen at a cost of $21,000. The funds for the equipment were taken from the Fire Department’s fundraising fund. Swank reported that the mobile repeater is scheduled to be installed and he noted that the Auglaize County dispatch has been paging the Fire Department since Feb. 1. He also noted that portable radios should be available soon. Swank stated that the department may offer
CPR training to village residents at no charge. The date and time for the training will be announced. Bell gave a report on the Botkins Police Department. He shared a copy of the completed Sheets Grant for the department’s in-car mobile computers. Bell asked if council members would make a decision regarding eight-hour shifts for auxiliary police officers. Anna Rescue Squad Chief Ben Luthman wanted to make Fire and Safety Committee members aware that he has taken over as chief of the squad and wanted to introduce himself. He replaces Dustin Murphy, who left for unknown reasons. Luthman began his duties in January. Luthman stated several new ideas are being discussed by Anna Rescue Squad members, including paid day staff. The Finance Committee met and approved alDinsmore locating Township’s additional contract payment to supplement the semi-annual loan payment for the fire truck. It will allow approximately $24,500 to be freed from the capital account. Council members discussed the need to purchase more land for the village’s lift station. The village does not have enough land to do the required updates that are needed for the lift station.
The Service Committee report was also given and at the meeting, Kent shared photographs of improvements to the village’s water treatment plant. The water softeners have been scraped, primed and painted. Victory Fab replaced the outlet piping underneath softeners 3 and 4. Victory Fab also replaced a PVC pipe with metal on the high-service pumps. The floor in the water treatment plant will have epoxy applied. Kent reported that 65 water meters were purchased to replace the broken ones around the village. The replacement of the water meters will be done this spring. Kent reported on rentals available from crack-sealing companies. The crack-sealing will be done this summer. Kent said he will be obtaining his CDL B license so he can rent a vacuum truck for village street sweeping. The Service Committee decided to deny a request to install a new street light on Warren Street. The committee reviewed the street paving and repair schedule for this year. The committee will meet in April and take a look at the village’s streets and determine what roads are in need of repair. Kent told council members that the village park was scheduled to
prosecutor’s office can be terminated by either party before the expiration date of the offer on Dec. 31 by giving 30 days written notice. Council declared an emergency and approved an ordinance approving having Sell’s office provide prosecutorial services. After going into executive session, council members returned to the meeting and declared an emergency and approved an ordinance to allow Botkins Mayor Steve Woodruff to enter a real estate purchase agreement on behalf of the village for 0.219 acres of land from Jason Miller located at the corner of Robinhood Lane and Sherwood Drive, noting the purchase of the property is for the purpose of accomodating the size requirement of the lift station. The land was purchased from Miller for $21,000. Council approved the readings of four other ordinances including: • The third reading of an ordinance allowing the consumption of alcohol at Botkins Carousel in June. • The first reading of an ordinance allowing for a no passing zone in the village. • Declared an emergency, suspended the readings, and approved an ordinance for the Safe Routes to School plan. • The first reading of an ordinance for a noparking zone.

After discussion, council decided to refer the issue of having a park employee attend the Finance Committee meeting. Kent told council members that a letter was sent to village residents for trash and unlicensed cars that are in violation of village ordinances. Council held a special meeting March 19 to discuss the appointment of a new fiscal officer. It was noted that current Fiscal Officer Teresa Featherington is resigning her position to take another job. Council went into executive session for the purpose of employee appointment. Council reviewed a letter received from Shelby County Prosecutor Tim Sell offering to provide prosecutorial services for the village.

SHS Band trailer has served its time
Back in the early 1990’s, the Music Booster parents and supporters of Sidney High School organized a fundraising campaign for the purchase of a new and sparkling white state- of- the- art pull behind trailer to carry instruments and equipment for “The Pride of Sidney Marching Band.” She was a beauty. Today, nearly twenty years later, our beloved trailer is tired and showing her age. The exterior paint is delaminating. If you have noticed marching band students with a white spot or stripe on their crisp black uniforms, it’s probably because they bumped or rubbed up against the trailer. Generally speaking, the trailer’s overall condition is deteriorating and safety is becoming a concern. We have investigated giving her a facelift and were advised by a restoration specialist that in order to put the trailer back in tip- top shape the cost would exceed that of a new trailer. The exciting news in all of this is that our marching band number of members is strong and continues to grow. The needs of the Pride of Sidney Marching Band are at that point where we have all but outgrown our current trailer. If there was ever a good time to invest in a new trailer, that time is now. A committee has been established to accept donations to raise the estimated $10,000 needed for this purchase. We are extending an invitation to past band members, parents of current or future band members, community members, and general band enthusiasts who wish to contribute to our funds for a new trailer. We will gratefully accept your tax deductible donations, which may be mailed to: The Sidney High School Music Boosters C/o Bob Barnes, President 335 Bon Air Dr. Sidney, Ohio 45365 Great things continue to happen in our Sidney City Schools…
Sincerely,
On Saturday, March 9th, the Sidney High School Academia team won the GWOC Conference Tournament hosted at Fairmont High School, beating Vandalia Butler 56-26 in the finals. Neal Dev and Frank EnYart were named First Team All GWOC, Ardy Li Second Team All GWOC, and Tyler Schlagetter Honorable Mention.

Interact Club supports African student
Public speaking practice
BY: EMILIE CAVINDER The Angel House is an orphanage located in Tanzania, Africa. The orphanage houses about 58 children ranging from the ages of 2 to about 19. There is a school attached to the orphanage where the children are taught and required to speak English. A church in New Carlisle runs this orphanage and they have many different donors including Alvetro Orthodontics of Sidney. Alvetro’s also does dental work in the nearby village when they visit there. Dr. Lisa Alvetro and her daughter senior, Katie Rossman have made two trips to Africa and are planning to visit Tanzania again this summer. Thanks to Rossman’s suggestion, the Interact club here at Lehman sponsors a child from the Angel House Orphanage. He is 16 years old and the club sends money each month to be sure he can attend the school. Interact has also sent care packages to the children of the orphanage. Rossman will start on her summer journey on June 12. First she will go to Germany and spend two weeks with exchange student Sonja Wolf who has been staying with her family this school year. Wolf and Rossman will then meet Rossman’s parents, Dr. Alvetro and her husband Tom Rossman, in the Netherlands, and from there, they will fly to Africa. They will meet a few others in Africa and spend a total of ten days there. They will be teaching in the school and helping as much as they can by bringing supplies to the children. The return flight from Tanzania to the U.S. will take 16 hours. Because she has had an amazing experience both times she has gone there, Rossman wants to do missionary work in Africa after college. Wolf is extremely thrilled about making her first trip to Africa. It is crazy to think that there is a school and orphanage in a different country that is supported by so many people close to home.
BY: KENNEDY MCIVER With college being so expensive, seniors are on a mission to fill out as many scholarship applications as possible. A different and interesting scholarship opportunity is the Rotary Four Way Speech Contest. Two LCHS seniors - Louis Gaier and Connor Richard - won scholarship money this year. Gaier competed in the Piqua Rotary contest and Richard in the Sidney Rotary contest. Both students cited the experience they had received doing presentations in various Lehman classes for their success at the contest. “I found that over the years, giving presentations was good practice when it came to public speaking,” said Gaier. “The experience at Rotary was fun and afterwards we all had an awesome lunch.” Gaier did his speech on Abraham Lincoln. He prepared by writing and editing his speech by meeting with Mrs. Saluke, senior English teacher, and practicing in front of her, and also in front of his family at home. Richard gave his speech about his 2012 car accident and how the near-death experience impacted his life. “I reviewed with Mrs. Saluke a couple times a week to make sure I was ready to give the speech,” said Richard. “Lehman prepared me a lot when it came to making a speech. I wasn’t nervous because over the last four years I had a lot of practice speaking in front of my peers.” Gaier placed first at the Piqua contest and received a $500 scholarship. Richard placed third in Sidney and received $50 in scholarship money.
April showers bring tennis power
BY: ALLY BERGMAN While the seniors are practically packed and ready to leave, the juniors are getting excited about their final year of Lehman. Two months marks the amount of time they have before they become the top dogs of the school. Scheduling their classes for 2013-14 has really got the juniors thinking about what the coming year will bring. Junior Emily Hoersten said, “I am excited about choosing classes but also nervous because it will be my last year here. I want to make it a good one.” Entering the school in ninth grade, every freshman gets the speech from Mr. Hoying , Guidance Counselor, about how fast the time will fly. Junior Ellie Cain can definitely confirm these wise words. “The time has gone extremely fast. I’ve enjoyed my experience here, but I’m glad it will finally be my last year of high school,” admitted Cain. John Husa says, “I can’t wait to spend senior year with my friends. It’s going to be great being at the top of the school.” Fellow classmate Madeline Franklin seconded Husa’s sentiments. “I am looking forward to the seniority. Having a hallway of lockers to ourselves and our own lunchroom is going to be great.” said Franklin. Before the juniors know it, they will be seniors and making decisions for their futures just like the class of 2013 is doing now. All the perks of being a senior are wonderful to contemplate but there are still a couple more months until they can claim the title.
BY: JOHN HUSA With the winter sports season at an end, it is time to head back to the outdoors as spring sports are taking off at Lehman. One of those sports is tennis where the Lehman boys’ tennis team is looking to have another successful season. The Cavaliers are coached by Kristy Sherman, and are led by five seniors: Pierce Bennett, Louis Gaier, Brad Kaeck, Riley Pickrel, and Bishop Arnold. The team also has six juniors: Adam Link, Mitchell Shroyer, Kevin McElroy, Noah Dunn, Peter Comer, and Robby Heckman; four sophomores: Dylan Sherman, Thomas Covault, Sam Dean, and Josh West; and two freshmen: Colin Greve and Connor Thobe. The team has plenty of depth this year, and has a worthy amount of playing experience. Senior leader Pierce Bennett said, “My personal goal is to qualify for state, but as a team, I want everyone to be successful this year and have an overall winning record.” Junior Kevin McElroy said, “I love playing tennis because of the team camaraderie we have, and because I enjoy playing the game.” From talking to many of the players, I found that they seem confident and energized about this season. Despite a challenging schedule, they have handled the competition well the past couple years and hopefully that will carry through this season. We wish the best of luck to the tennis team, and to all Lehman teams participating this spring!

HOROSCOPE BY FRANCES DRAKE For Friday, March 29, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You’re making behind-the-scenes plans to make improvements to your future. (In fact, these plans might even affect your life direction in general.) Obviously, you have to make sure these plans are realistic. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) You might encounter someone powerful today who really impresses you. However, their suggestions might be over the top. If you suspect this, you’re probably right. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Discussions with people in authority will focus on reforms and improvements today. The key to remember is are these improvements realistic? Are they even doable? CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You’re in an excellent frame of mind to study or learn something new today. Investigating anything will thrill you. However, be careful about travel plans that are grandiose. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) If making decisions about inheritances and shared property today, make sure you keep your feet on the ground. Don’t give away the farm. Be suspicious about offers that are too good to be true. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) As you work with partners and close friends today, you will accomplish a lot. However, don’t promise more than you can deliver, which you might be tempted to do. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Do whatever you can to make things work better on the job. You might even see ways to improve your health today as well. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) This is a creative day and powerful for sports, the arts and activities with children. One tiny caveat: beware of overconfidence. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) You want to introduce improvements through renovating or fixing something at home today. It’s great to be full of big ideas, but don’t go overboard. Stick with a realistic plan. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Your enthusiasm for something can make you sell or promote it to anyone today. Furthermore, you’ve done your homework, which means you can answer any question. You’re prepared! AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Be careful with financial matters today. Although you might see new ways to earn money or even use something you already own, you could be overly optimistic. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Communication with others will be very powerful today. People are attracted to your optimism and your know-how energy. That’s why they’re ready to listen to you and follow your lead. YOU BORN TODAY You are loyal, especially to family. You decided quite young how the world works. You can laugh at yourself and see the irony in life. You think carefully before you do things, because you are an idealist (and one who loves creature comforts). You easily excel at whatever you do. Your year ahead will focus predominantly on partnerships and close friendships. Birthdate of: Pearl Bailey, jazz singer; Eric Idle, comedian/actor; Amy Sedaris, actress.

the bladder itself can have the same kind of blister seen on the skin, and these can bleed. Second, shingles can damage the nerve to the bladder, preventing the bladder from emptying properly. This may require a temporary bladder drainage tube. Third, shingles can stimulate the muscle controlling the bladder, causing urgency and even incontinence. Usually, things go back to normal, but nerve damage always has the possibility of residual effects. As I’ve said before, everyone over 60 should get the shingles vaccine — even if they have had shingles before. Having shingles in the past provides some protection against future shingles,
but the protection isn’t perfect, which is why it’s recommended to get the vaccine. Although a severe egg allergy prevents you from getting the flu vaccine, the pneumonia and shingles vaccines do not contain egg components, and are safe for people with egg allergies. No booster shot is recommended, if you have already had the shingles vaccine. The booklet on shingles explains this common condition in greater detail.

PAST
100 years March 28, 1913 The conditions in Sidney seem to be better than in many of the surrounding cities. The different relief committees are taking care of the families, housing and clothing them, and it is believed that the worst is over in this city. The river continues to fall slowly and the danger is considered past. At 2 o’clock this afternoon, it had gone down seven feet from the highest point reached Tuesday. Many people left their homes in the low part of the city when the fire bell was rung last evening, thinking that the reservoir at Lewistown had broken, but they returned to their homes when later word assured them that such was not the case. The coal supply in the city is considered good. The water works reports that they have enough for at least two weeks and the electric light plant enough for the same length of time with more on the way. Several attempts were made by Sidney people yesterday to get into Piqua without avail. They reported that they could only get as far as the hill northeast of the city, and that the entire eastern section of that community was under water. Co. L of the National Guard is expected to leave Sidney for Dayton at 4:30 this afternoon on a special train, carrying other troops from Lima.
75 years March 28, 1938 Another interesting new organization has been added to Sidney’s list of groups binding themselves together with a benefit project as their purpose of origin. This newest club is the Band Mothers of Holy Angels High School. Their purpose is to help raise funds to be used for the new band under the direction of Frank Lucas. At the present time, the band has a membership of 32. Mrs. Edward Gaier is president of the new club, with Mrs. Z.E. Hunter, vice president; Mrs. William Schneider, secretary and Mrs. Louis Salm, treasurer. ––––– Lecture hour activities for the Maplewood grange at its March meeting included a McGuffey program which included familiar selections from McGuffey readers presented by members of the grange. Taking part in the program were Mrs. Mabel Wert, Miss Audrey Andrews, Grace Andrews, Mrs. Edna Smith, Kenneth Smith, Carl Smith, Paul Smith, Jr., Clarence Steenrod, Donald Stewart, Charles Andrews, Mrs. Letha Ware, Lois Lee Smith, Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Bell and Herbert Wert.
trustees of the Sidney Community Foundation was announced today by officers of the foundation. In conformance with the constitution of the foundation, the appointment was made by Common Pleas Judge Huber E. Beery, from recommendations made to him. Cook will succeed Dr. Clayton Kiracofe, whose term expired this year. ––––– Mrs. Ruth Coverstone, R.R. 4, Sidney, has been named local checker of the year at the Pangles store on Michigan Street. The award made at each individual market of the Pangle operations, is based on checkers’ courtesy, appearance, customer relations, cleanliness, good housekeeping in the checkout area, tests given in mathematics and grocery knowledge and votes by customers. ––––– Among the recipients of National Science Foundation scholarships for graduate study beginning with the fall term is a Sidney student, Tom Mitchell. Mitchell, 20, now in his senior year at Oberlin College, where he is a mathematics major, has been granted a scholarship to University of California at Berkley, where he will continue his education toward his master’s degree. He is the son of Mr. Mrs. George and Mitchell, 412 Brookburn Street.

The work will be done at no cost to the city. • Rescinded a resolution passed in 2011 and enacted a new consent resolution for ODOT’s plan to resurface Ohio 47 from the east side of the Interstate 75 bridge to Walnut Avenue in 2014
and also approved a consent agreement for the future access management and realignment of Michigan Street/West Court Street (Ohio 47) from Vandemark Road to Walnut Avenue. • Approved a resolution approving the payment of $15,949 to Emergency Reporting for the replacement of the fire emergency reporting software packages. • Heard Councilman Steve Wagner request a workshop discussion of the possible monitoring of the number of vacant homes in the community. • Heard City Manager Mark Cundiff report the city’s cost for snow removal and salting for the snowfall of March 21 was $13,229. He said the costs associated with this past weekend’s storm had not been tabulated as of Monday night. • Heard Cundiff report that city offices will be closed Friday for Good Friday. • Went into executive session to discuss pending litigation. No action was taken.

owner-occupied houses for improvements to address one or two health or safety issues; and $100,000 for tenant-based rent assistance grants so residents can remain in their home or apartment. The CHIP program assists low- to moderate-income households in Sidney. Although possible action was deferred until the April 8 meeting, council heard a presentation by Kirby King, code enforcement officer, on a proposed ordinance designed to clarify what constitutes a violation of health, safety and sanitation code and streamline the enforcement process. King said the measure would provide more clear definitions of what is junk, rubbish and garbage, as well as reducing the time offenders have to clean up health hazards and eyesores in the community. Violations would be posted on the property and property owners would receive notices by regular mail, instead of the curcertified mail rent process.

REPLAY 50 years ago March 28, 1963 Tom Glover carried added distinction today by the way of honorable mention on the Associated Press All-Ohio AA cage pickings. The Sidney Senior high school hoopster, who used his 6-8 frame to help Sidney to a winning campaign, had previously been named to every All Miami Valley League squad picked at the close of the schoolboy conference’s recent campaign.
25 years ago March 28, 1988 Sidney swept both ends of a dual track meet with Botkins. In the boys meet, Botkins’ Jim King had a superb throw in the shot put of 49-3 and Nate Counts won both the long jump and high jump. Carlos Yates led Sidney, winning the 200 and 400 dashes.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Ever since Thad Matta and Sean Miller shared a tiny office at Miami of Ohio nearly two decades ago, the coaches’ friendship has survived job changes, practical jokes and a few hundred bucks in unpaid lunch tabs. They’ve worked together and recruited against each other. They’ve shared scouting tips and sought job advice. They even briefly lived under the same roof with their entire families. “I wouldn’t be here today without him,” Miller said Wednesday. “I learned a lot from him, enjoyed being around him when we worked together, and we remain very good friends.” They remained close after their teams faced off in a memorable Ohio State victory over Xavier in the NCAA tournament six years ago, and they’re still close heading into their next meeting Thursday at Staples Center, when the second-seeded Buckeyes (287) meet Miller’s Arizona Wildcats (27-7) in the West Region semifinals. “I don’t like the fact that we’re playing, but I’m happy as can be for him,” Matta said. The winner gets much more than bragging rights between best friends: While nobody in either uniform would suggest this game is the true regional final, both teams realize the winner of this meeting between powerhouse basketball schools will be a strong favorite to make the Final Four. With underdogs La Salle and Wichita State playing the late game, Ohio State and Arizona are the only seeds in the top eight left in what looks like the least attractive regional. “We’re not caught up in the sexiness and all that,” Arizona guard Mark Lyons said. “I feel like my teammates are hand-
QUOTE OF THE DAY “Every game is tough. Knowing that it’s the Heat adds on a little bit. But I have a lot of confidence in my guys and the coaching staff here.” —Chicago Bulls star Derek Rose before sitting out the team’s game Wednesday night.
ON THIS DATE IN 1942 — Stanford beats Dartmouth 53-38 for the NCAA basketball championship. 1950 — CCNY beats Bradley 71-68 in the NCAA basketball final to become the only team to win the NIT and NCAA titles in the same year. CCNY beats Bradley 69-61 in the NIT on March 18.

college basketball tournament in Los Angeles Wednesday. Ohio State plays Arizona Thursday.
some, but that’s (beside) the point.” Both teams have a mix of veteran talent and emerging youngsters, leading to a few marquee positional matchups that are tough for both coaches to predict. Ohio State hero Aaron Craft faces a stiff challenge against Lyons, the ball-hawking guard described by Miller as the hoops equivalent of a running quarterback. Deshaun Thomas, the Buckeyes’ leading scorer, will be checked on most possessions by Solomon Hill, the Wildcats’ rangy senior from Los Angeles. Ohio State is the only team to make the regional semifinals in each of the last four seasons, and the Buckeyes are on a 10-game winning streak since mid-February. Arizona overcame its late-season struggles to put together yet another solid NCAA run, trouncing Belmont and unceremoniously ending Harvard’s hopes last week while making better than 55 percent of their shots in both games. “It always gets tougher the further you go in the tournament,” said Craft, whose late 3-pointer propelled Ohio State past Iowa State last Sunday. “You play against great players, and as a defender, you always want to take away their go-to. They have more than one.” Arizona should have a home-court advantage as the regional’s closest school to Los Angeles by far, with thousands of Wildcats fans expected to make the trip to cheer on a team with seven players from Southern California.

Arizona plays Ohio State tonight. have never met in the NCAA tournament, but Matta and Miller faced off in the second round in 2007, three years after Matta took over the Buckeyes and left Miller in charge at Xavier. Mike Conley Jr. and Greg Oden led Ohio State past the Musketeers after Ron Lewis’ clutch 3pointer forced overtime, and the Buckeyes eventually reached the national championship game. Neither coach enjoyed facing a good friend that year, and their collision this week isn’t as fun as the chance to reconnect in person for the first time in months. The coaches know plenty about each other’s strategies, and they also know their quirks. Miller realizes Matta doesn’t enjoy being too far from his own bed, remembering long recruiting trips together when “it could be 10 o’clock at night, and he would give you that look like, ‘Why don’t we just get home?’” “I guess if there’s one small advantage we have, we have him in a place that he’s not real familiar with, a long way from home,” Miller added. They helped engineer an NCAA tournament upset of Arizona while they were on staff together at Miami of Ohio — although Miller left Matta stuck with about $350 in lunches when he left for Pitt in 1995. The coaches worked together splendidly
again at Xavier — and Miller even lived with Matta briefly after getting the job in Cincinnati in 2001, bringing along his pregnant wife and their kids. “If it was a couple of weeks, it probably felt like a couple months to Thad and his wife,” Miller said. Matta needed only one word to describe Miller as a roommate: “Sloppy.” “The thing about Sean that I’ve learned over time is whenever we’d go somewhere, he’d forget his wallet,” Matta continued, recalling a trip to South Florida when Miller showed up at the airport with no cash. “And he was making a lot more money than I was. But that’s him.” Miller and Matta had an extra-long conversation between their teams’ practices Wednesday, discussing the possibility of Miller’s son, Austin, heading to Ohio State to work for Matta as a team manager in a couple of years. They’re full of mutual respect, with Miller suggesting Matta is well on his way to a Hall of Fame career — even if that journey goes through Miller’s Wildcats this week. “When you do this long enough, your paths are going to cross,” Matta said. “I’m sure he feels the same way: I want to win like crazy, but if things don’t go well, I couldn’t be happier for him.”
Anna Lady Rockets
The Anna Lady Rockets won the Division III state basketball championship for the second time in the last three years last weekend in Columbus, beating Orrville and Columbus Africentric, both by big margins.

HIGH BOYS BASKETBALL WRAPUP
Several squads put together outstanding seasons Following is a brief wrapup provided by the coaches for junior high boys basketball teams locall and around the area:
Sidney 8th grade — The Sidney 8th grade boys finished with a 2-14 record, but that doesn’t tell the whole story — the Jackets lost seven games by two points or less and had to deal with losing two guards who moved away. Team members: Keshon Johnson, Allec Gordon, Devontae Weatherspoon, Conor Beer, Xavier Wise, Kevin Fultz, Jack Feazel, Ian Humphrey, Elliot Wilson, Naiki Tsukahara and Raymond Daniel. The team was coached by Nish Golden. 7th grade — The 7th grade Junior Jackets finished with an 11-5 record and lost their first gold bracket tournament game by just two points. “It was a good year,” coach Doug said Barhorst. “The losses were all to winning teams in close games.” Team members: Kelton Stockton, Dallas Hughes, Chris Lee, Ryan Heins, Thomas Atwood, Isaiah Bowser, AJ Brussel, Dylan Smith, Michael Bunker, Devan Rorers, Josh Spaugy.
Russia 8th grade — The Russia 8th grade boys had an outstanding season this year, finishing 18-1, including 5-1 during County play. And the team went on to win the County tournament, beating Fairlawn 43-36 in the championship. The team’s average margin of victory this season was 17 points. Team members: Ethan Monnier, Dylan Cordonnier, Drew Sherman, Drew Poling, Jack Moorman, Trenton Monnin, Sam Cook, Noah Drees, Kevin Drees, Cole Tebbe and Clay George. The team was coached by Adam York. 7th grade — The Russia 7th grade also had a strong season, with a 12-6 record and a 5-1 mark in County play, good enough for a cochampionship. “We improved from the beginning of the year all the way through to the end,” said Kyle Schafer, the Russia coach. “Our best win was being the only team to beat Fort Loramie this year.” Team members: Jack Dapore, Hunter Cohee, Dion Puthoff, Zach Bell, Carter Stueve,
Brandon Koverman, Cole Simons, Matt Siefring, Brandon Young and Glen Schulze.
Houston 8th grade — The Houston 8th grade boys finished the season with a 3-12 mark but coach Richard Collum feels the mark was deceiving. “In no way was this a group of guys that didn’t work hard,” he said. “They gave it everything they had but unfortunatley we didn’t have some luck go our way. I appreciate every one of these guys and wish them nothing but success in the future. I know if they work as hard at everything else as they worked for me this year, success is just around the corner.” Team members: Seth Stoodt, Corbin Smith, Kaleib Freistuhler, Patrick Curl, Quinton Cox, Sage Bryant, Dylan Hensley and Isaiah Beaver. 7th grade — The Houston 7th grade boys finished a solid season with a 7-9 record. “It was a very up and down season,” said coach Brian Feathers. “But this is a solid group of coachable guys that have developed a great passion for the game over the course of the season. There is a lot of potential and a solid foundation of talent to develop with this group. They have a much better knowledge of the game and an understanding of what is expected of them to be successful in the Houston program. This will be a class that will bring a lot of excitement for the Houston community as their careers progress.” Team members: Noah Shoemaker, Bradley Wiggins, Cayleb Sluss, Cameron Via, Parker Cox, Mason Schaeffer, John Dillulo Daniel Dillulo, James Dillulo, Mason Sanders, Joshua Douglas and Hunter Herrick.
Fairlawn 8th grade — It was a great season for the Fairlawn 8th grade boys, who finished with a 16-2 record and won the County regular-season title with a perfect 6-0 mark. “The boys had a great year,” said coach Dustin Oates. “And all 12 of them are great kids and pushed each other to work hard all year long. I am most impressed with the way they learned and improved on defense this year. That’s what makes any good team
great and they got better and better as the year went on. This class is full of leaders and I know they will continued to work hard, push one another, and learn more about the game as they mature as players. I look forward to watching them compete in high school.” Team members: Bryce Landry, Austin Maddy, Nate Lessing, Jacob Caldwell, Austin Regedanz, Nick Brautigam, Tanner Smedley, Andrew Bockrath, Josh Reck, Ben Trevor Brautigam, Greiwe and Kody Curtner. 7th grade — The Fairlawn 7th grade boys team finished with a 313 mark this season.

They kicked off the season with a win over a much-bigger Urbana team and also overcame an 18-point second-half deficit to beat Upper Scioto Valley. That demonstrated the fight and desire this group of kids possesses. All the kids showed improvement over the course of the year and will be exciting to watch throughout their high school careers.” Team members: Taylor Eaton, Xane Fugate, Hunter Goings, Hank Harshbarger, Trey Helmlinger, Derek Kobylack, Hunter Kreglow, Cory Lauderback, Hayden Robinson, Tyler Sanford, Kurt Waters, Jeremy Wheeler and Andrew Wright. 7th grade — The Riverside 7th grade had an excellent season, going 10-8 overall and winning five of their six NWCC games. “Despite winning only a couple games total in 5th and 6th grade the past two years, we began
the season with a lot of optimism,” said coach Rod Yoder. “The players on the team had spent a lot of time during the offseason participating in basketball open gyms. They worked hard and showed continual improvement throughout the season.” The highlight came in the NWCC tournament. Riverside’s only loss in league play during the season came to Upper Scioto Valley, but the Junior Pirates beat USV to win the tournament championship. Caleb Stevens with 248 points and Trey Lane with 183 were the top scorers for the 7th grade. Team members: Nick Hall, James Hudson, Trey Lanes, Hunter Russell, Gavin Stallard, Caleb Stevens, Logan Whaley and Jason Yoder.

New Bremen 8th grade — Coach Bartt Suchland called this year a learning experience. “The 8th grade class is very limited in numbers but the nine boys that were with us gave it their all,” he said. “And they battled every day. We are looking forward to watching them as their careers go on.” He said some highlights from the seaso include Jake Hemmelgarn hitting two half-court shots in a win over Parkway, a game in which he had to step in and play the point when the starting point guard was out sick. 7th grade — Coach Greg Elking said his New Bremen 7thgrade competed and fought hard all season long. “These guys are figuring out that they have to work hard than the opponent,” he said. They were undersized on most nights but stepped up and competed.” He said the team lost some heartbreakers. Fort Recovery hit a shot with three seconds to go to win over Bremen, and rival Minster won by only three in what Elking said was one of the best games his team played all year. “If these kids put in the time in the offseason to develop their individual and team skills, the sky is the limit,” Elking said.
CALL THE
V-Tigers return wealth of pitching Wreck Doctor VERSAILLES —The Versailles Tigers had an outstanding year in baseball last season under head coach Mitch Hoying, finishing with a 25-7 record and winning both Midwest Athletic Conference and district titles. This season, Hoying welcomes back six lettermen, including four pitchers with at least one varsity win to their credit. “Many spots are open for competition, with a great deal of emphasis in finding the right people to play on the left side of the infield,” Hoying said. “We have many strong candidates and it could be midseason before we finally determine the best combinations. “Similarly, we have a

wealth of pitchers that have established themselves as strike throwers, but we’re waiting to see who establishes themselves as our biggame arms.” The four pitchers returning include Lee Ruhenkamp and Kyle Niekamp, all seniors, junior Jake Wenning and sophomore Jace Barga. Ruhenkamp was 2-1 with a 4.60 ERA, Niekamp 2-1 with a 2.60 ERA, Wenning had a 2.20 ERA and Barga 1.75. Mike Rutschilling is solid behind the plate and brings back a .330 average with a .500 onbase percentage. “He had an excellent sum-
mer and solidifies the leadoff spot,” said Hoying. At first will be Ruhenkamp and Jared Heitkamp battling. The rest of the infield will be manned by players like Niekamp, who hit .272 last season and drpve in 28, Damien Richard, who hit .349 and had eight doubles, Wenning, who hit .272 last season, and Mike Davidson. “Kyle is an excellent defender at second and I expect him to really turn it on with the bat. He’s another player we expect to hit in the middle or the order and produce runs,” Hoying said. “Damien will likely play short or third and brings a good combo of speed and power to the
plate. He’s another runproducer who is capable of setting the table as well due to his speed. Jake should challenge for time in the infield and Mike is solid and will challenge for time at corner infield positions.” In the outfield will be junior Mitch Gigandet, who hit .322 last season, junior Craig Langenkamp, Ruhenkamp and sophomores Barga and Dan Borchers. “Fifteen guys are capable of contributing to the varsity team and only time will tell who can become the most consistent performers,” said Hoying, who has a 172-101-2 career record, including 44-14-1 in the MAC.

Browns SCOREBOARD sign QB BASKETBALL Campbell NCAA men AP EXCHANGE The Browns found their competition for Brandon Weeden, and his name is Jason Campbell. The Browns signed the 2005 first-round draft pick of the Redskins, who since then has played with the Raiders and Bears, to a two-year contract, the club announced late Tuesday night. Campbell has started all 16 games only twice in his career — in 2008 and 2009 with the Redskins — and finished a season with a winning record only twice. He was 7-5 in 12 starts with Oakland in 2010 when he threw 13 touchdown passes and eight interceptions. He was 4-2 the following year and playing well, but his season ended when he suffered a broken collarbone in a game against the Browns on Oct. 16, 2011. Campbell has been an accurate passer throughout his NFL career. He has completed 1,328 of 2,182 passes (60.9 percent) for 14,682 yards with 76 touchdowns and 52 interceptions. “Jason is an established leader who has started a number of games in this league and has had success,” Browns head coach Rob Chudzinski said in a statement released by the Browns. “He brings us a veteran presence and a good set of physical tools. He played in a similar system when he was in Oakland and that will help in his transition.” Signing Campbell almost certainly means the end for Colt McCoy, whose salary jumps to $2.35 million in 2013. McCoy was 6-15 as a starter in 2010 and 2011. His only action last season occurred in the second half in Denver in the 15th game. He suffered a shoulder injury and did not play in the finale against the Steelers. Signing Campbell also means the Browns are very unlikely to use their first draft pick, No. 6 overall, on a quarterback — something CEO Joe Banner said even before signing the 6-foot-5, 230 pound passer from Auburn chosen 25th overall nine years ago. If nothing else, Weeden, 29, no longer is the oldest quarterback on the roster. Campbell, a New Year’s Eve baby in 1981, is 31. “We are excited to have Jason as a member the Cleveland Browns,” Banner said. “He is a veteran player who has been productive throughout his career and will be a good addition to our team.” Campbell played four years with the Redskins, two with the Raiders and 2012 with the Bears. He is 31-40 as a starter. Campbell has 225 career carries for 1,096 yards and six touchdowns.

first on the Sprint Cup Series since April 28, 2012 at Richmond International Raceway. In the 31 races between triumphs, Busch had 13 finishes in the top 5. It was his 25th career Cup win, tying the Las Vegas native for 24th on NASCAR’s all-time list with Matt Kenseth, Jim Paschal and Joe Weatherly. BROTHER DID ALRIGHT, TOO 2 BIG Kurt Busch, Kyle’s elder brother by six years, is having a promising start to the 2013 season with Furniture Row Racing. Kurt registered FRR’s second straight top-5 showing, a first for the Denver, Colo.-based team, when he finished fifth at Auto Club Speedway. Dating back to the final six races of 2012, Busch has five top 10s in 11 starts with FRR.

SWEEP Kyle Busch’s 3 WEEKEND weekend success was not limited to Sunday’s Cup race. He also won Saturday’s Royal Purple 300 Nationwide Series event. In five NNS starts this season, Busch has dominated to the tune of three wins and one runner-up showing. Points leader Sam Hornish Jr. finished second on Saturday. Hornish has five top 10s in five NNS starts in 2013, including a win in Las Vegas. RIGHTS Toyota became 4 BRAGGING the only manufacturer to have recorded a win at each current Cupsanctioned track after Busch’s victory in Fontana. Only two races have been hosted by Kentucky Speedway. Busch won the inaugural event there in 2011, while Brad Keselowski, driving a Dodge — which no longer fields entires — won last season.

Fireworks in Fontana
Last-lap wreck, post-race fight highlight a thriller at Auto Club Speedway By MATT TALIAFERRO Athlon Sports Racing Editor
A frenetic final 20 laps in the Auto Club 400 concluded in a lastlap crash involving rivals Denny Hamlin and Joey Logano, a surprise winner in Kyle Busch, and a fight on pit road between Logano and Tony Stewart. And it all happened at the most unlikely of venues: Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, Calif. The two-mile oval in Southern California has historically been known for its single-file, strung-out style of racing where aerodynamics and downforce — not tight-quarters beating and banging — are key. That all changed on Sunday. A bevy of late-race three- and four-wide racing hit its crescendo on a restart with 11 laps to go. Race leader Logano threw a block on Stewart as the field took the green flag, killing the latter’s momentum and costing him valuable positions. That opened the door for Kyle Busch, who shot to the lead in the high groove. As Busch built a cushion up front, the fight for second between Logano, Hamlin, Kurt Busch, Carl Edwards and Dale Earnhardt Jr. intensified. The quintet sparred for three laps before Logano and Hamlin prevailed. They chased down the leader and overtook him in a physical fight in the tri-oval with five laps remaining. The former teammates, whose rivalry has made headlines since Daytona and reached a new high in Bristol when Hamlin spun Logano, sparking a post-race confrontation
and a war of words, ran nose-to-tail until the final lap, when Hamlin made his move as the white flagged wave. Hamlin loosened Logano up in the tri-oval and powered by on the outside. However, Logano was far from done. He dove to the inside in Turn 1 and pulled alongside on the backstretch. As Logano’s car got loose in Turn 3, he washed up the racetrack, making contact with the No. 11 of Hamlin. That allowed a stalking Kyle Busch to skate by near the wall, charging to the lead as Logano and Hamlin wrecked. Logano bounced off the wall but righted the ship for a third-place finish. Hamlin cut hard to the inside of the track and crashed head-on into a concrete wall devoid of energy-absorbing SAFER barriers. Hamlin exited his car but quickly collapsed to the pavement as track safety personnel attended to him. He was airlifted to a local hospital complaining of back pain for what Joe Gibbs Racing officials called “precautionary reasons.” On Monday, it was learned Hamlin had suffered a compression fracture of the L1 vertebrae. “They forgot about me. I knew they were gonna,” Busch said of the two leaders as they parried for the win. “When they went to the bottom side of (Turns) 3 and 4, I thought, ‘Oh man, this golden — I got enough (momentum) up here to make this happen.’ Lo and behold, I put my foot to it and drove around the outside of them before they were crashing … or maybe as they were crashing, I’m not sure.”
The victory was Busch’s first of the season and 25th of his career. Earnhardt Jr., Logano, Edwards and Kurt Busch rounded out the top 5. Hamlin was credited with a 25thplace finish. Earnhardt assumed the lead in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series point standings after former leader, Brad Keselowski, limped to a 23rd-place showing. As Busch celebrated in Victory Lane, Stewart confronted Logano on pit road, having taken exception to the block that dropped him from third to, ultimately, 22nd. A fight broke out between the two drivers and members of their respective teams, though no punches appeared to connect. The drivers were quickly restrained and separated. When asked by a FOX television reporter about the incident, Stewart went on an expletive-laden tirade, taking Logano to task and promising retribution, then later referred to him as “a rich kid who never had to work a day in his life.” Logano was unapologetic concerning his tactics, saying, “I had to throw the block there — that was the race for the lead. I felt like if the 14 (Stewart) got underneath me, that was going to be the end of my opportunity to win the race. I was just trying to protect the spot I had.” As for the violent ending to his race with Hamlin, the Connecticut native again displayed little remorse, though he was unaware that Hamlin still lay on the track injured. “He probably shouldn’t have done what he did last week,” Logano said. “So that’s what he gets.”

It doesn’t get any more old-school racing than this on the Cup level. It’s similar to the type of racing most of the drivers grew up doing. Tight quarters usually leads to beating and banging. Since it is so small and flat, our setups are unique from the other short tracks. Trying to get these big stock cars to rotate through the center of the tight corners and still be able to put power down is always a challenge, but especially so at the paperclip. Drivers that aren’t aggressive or don’t like being physical usually don’t do well here. Of course, Clint Bowyer proved last year that you can’t be too aggressive. ” NATIONWIDE SERIES

Hamlin injured in wreck, out at least five races By MATT TALIAFERRO Athlon Sports Racing Editor
Joe Gibbs Racing driver Denny Hamlin has been diagnosed with a compression fracture of his L1 vertebrae following a violent crash on the final lap of Sunday’s Auto Club 400 at Auto Club Speedway. Throttle Up/Throttle Down Hamlin was airlifted to a Loma Linda University Medical Center following the accident and remained DALE EARNHARDT JR. The sport’s most overnight.

breathing. Literally, when I felt a pop (in my back), I couldn’t move at all and I knew I had to get flat to my back to be able to breathe again. That’s why I rushed out (of the car) and just laid flat on the ground to start breathing again.” Of concern, according to Hamlin, is the pain medication he has been administered in relation to NASCAR’s substance policy and the logistics of entering and exiting a race car. “With NASCAR’s substance-abuse policy, you’ve got to be clear for a few days with no medication and everything,” he told FOXSports.com prior to his meeting with Dr. Petty. “At this point, that’ll be very tough for me to see where I’m going to be. “We’ve got some big obstacles as far as getting in a car with the bracing that I need because there’s no way at this point I could get in a car with no bracing. I have to be perfectly vertical — I can’t be twisted in any kind of way. Along with that, if we don’t do surgery then we’ve got the fracture and you can’t — I don’t want to make it worse. It’s not worth that.” Missing at least five races may end Hamlin’s Chase hopes, though any driver ranked 11th-20th at the end of NASCAR’s 26-race regular season is eligible to qualify via wild card, which is based on number of wins.

Top Dog — Louisville (1) Louisville is playing like the No. 1 overall seed in the NCAA Tournament. The Cardinals advanced to the Sweet 16 with a surprisingly easy 82–56 win over a very good Colorado State team. Shooting guard Russ Smith, never known to be the most efficient player on the Cards’ roster, scored 27 points on only 15 shots to lead the way for Rick Pitino’s club. In its two wins, Louisville is shooting a combined 56.9 percent from the floor and has forced an average of 20.5 turnovers. That’s a formula for success at any level of basketball. Underdog – Oregon (12) It flew a bit under the radar, but No. 12 seed Oregon recorded one of the most impressive wins of the first weekend of the NCAA Tournament, rolling past Saint Louis 74–57 on Saturday. The Ducks, grossly underseeded by the Selection Committee, knocked off the No. 5 and No. 4 seeds by a combined 30 points. Oregon is led by a pair of senior forwards, E.J. Singler (younger brother of former Duke star Kyle Singler) and Rice transfer Arsalan Kazemi. The Ducks are outstanding on the defensive end of the court and are a very good rebounding team. They do, however, struggle from the 3-point line, ranking 298th in the nation at 27.5 percent. Coaching Showdown to Watch: Izzo vs. Coach K Two of the great NCAA Tournament coaches of all time — Michigan State’s Tom Izzo and Duke’s Mike Krzyzewski will meet in the Sweet 16 in Indianapolis. Duke, the No. 2 seed, is a slight favorite over the No. 3-seeded Spartans. Izzo is 1–7 all-time vs. Coach K, but the one victory came in the 2005 Sweet 16. These teams last met in November 2011 at Madison Square Garden. Duke won 74–69. The Quote “I don’t want to put the pressure on Rick and his guys, but they’re special. They need a little luck like everybody does to win it all, but that’s as impressive team as I‘ve been against, certainly.” — Colorado State coach Larry Eustachy, after his team lost to Louisville.
Top Dog — Ohio State (2) The Buckeyes were the only top-four seed in the West Region to advance to the Sweet 16 in Los Angeles. And it wasn’t easy. Ohio State edged No. 10 seed Iowa State 78–75 on an Aaron Craft 3-pointer with 0.5 seconds remaining. The Buckeyes, who led by 13 points at one point of the second half, fell behind on two separate occasions with less than four minutes to play. While it was tougher than most OSU fans would have liked, beating Iowa State could be a good omen: The last three single-digit seeds to defeat the Cyclones in the NCAA Tournament went on to win the national title — 2012 Kentucky, 2005 North Carolina and 2000 Michigan State. Underdog – La Salle (13) According to the official seed list released by the NCAA, La Salle was the second-to-last at-large team to make the field of 68. Now, the Explorers are two wins away from the Final Four. Led by Ramon Galloway, a transfer from South Carolina, La Salle defeated Boise State, Kansas State and Ole Miss in a magical five-day stretch. Galloway averaged 21.3 points and converted 22-of-41 from 3-point range in La Salle’s three wins. Player to Watch – Mark Lyons, Arizona (6) Lyons, a senior point guard at Arizona, will become the first player to play in the Sweet 16 in consecutive seasons for two different teams. Lyons played his first three seasons at Xavier, which advanced to the Sweet 16 in 2010 and ’12, then enrolled at Arizona as a post-graduate transfer for his final season of eligibility. He scored 23 points in Arizona’s 81–64 win over Belmont then followed up with 27 in a 74–51 in over Harvard. The Quote “You know what I asked them? ‘On Oct. 15, down eight with eight minutes to go, would you take it for the right to go to Los Angeles in the Sweet 16?’ And they did it from there.” — Wichita State coach Gregg Marshall, on what he told his team when they fell behind No. 1 seed Gonzaga by eight points in the second half.
Top Dog — Kansas (1) Coach Bill Self earned his 300th career win with a 70–58 victory over North Carolina — and former Kansas coach Roy Williams. The Jayhawks struggled to pull off a 64–57 win over No. 16 seed Western Kentucky in the Round of 64. KU’s leading scorer this season, redshirt freshman shooting guard Ben McLemore has disappeared during the Tournament, with just 13 total points on 2-of-14 shooting from the field and 0-of-8 from 3-point range over two games. Senior big man Jeff Withey has picked up the slack, however, averaging 16.5 points, 11 rebounds and six blocks per game over the Tournament’s first weekend. Underdog – Florida Gulf Coast (15) Andy Enfield was a cult hero heading into the Tournament because he is a self-made millionaire with a supermodel wife. Now the Eagles coach is leading the greatest Cinderella story in Big Dance history. FGCU upset No. 2 seed Georgetown, 78–68, before taking down San Diego State, 81–71, to become the first No. 15 seed to advance to the Sweet 16. Player to Watch – Trey Burke, Michigan (4) The National Player of the Year candidate got off to a rocky start, scoring just six points on 2-of-12 shooting in a 71–56 win over South Dakota State. But Burke bounced back with 18 points, seven assists and two steals in a 78–53 statement win over VCU to advance to Michigan’s first Sweet 16 since 1994. Burke will need to bring his A-game in order for U-M to earn a trip to the Final Four for the first time since the Fab Five in 1993. The Quote “The one thing that coach talked to me before I transferred here (from Rutgers), he said ‘You’re putting yourself in big moments and big games.’ … I really took full advantage of it tonight and I told myself, ‘If I’m open, I’m going to knock down the shot.’” — Florida guard Mike Rosario, who scored 25 points on 8-of-12 shooting in a 78–64 win over Minnesota.
Top Dog — Indiana (1) The Hoosiers are headed to their second straight Sweet 16. But IU has not advanced to the Elite Eight since 2002, when Indiana was an unlikely national runner-up to Maryland. After cruising past James Madison, 83–62, the Hoosiers earned a hard fought victory over Temple, 58–52. Victor Oladipo hit a top-of-the-key three — on a kick-out swing pass from Cody Zeller — with 14 seconds to play to take a four-point lead Indiana would not relinquish, as the Hoosiers capped their come-from-behind win over the Owls on a 10–0 run. Now IU prepares for a Sweet 16 showdown with Syracuse in a rematch of the 1987 national title game. Underdog – Syracuse (4) Coach Jim Boeheim is making his 16th trip to the Sweet 16, with his signature 2-3 zone defense leading the charge yet again. The Orange suffocated Montana, 81–34, to get the party started. Syracuse then outlasted California, 66–60, in front of a partisan San Jose crowd, holding the Bears to just 4-of-21 shooting (19.0 percent) from 3-point range. The triumph over Cal marked Boeheim’s 50th career NCAA Tournament win. Player to Watch – Shane Larkin, Miami (2) Barry Larkin’s son has been a catalyst for the Canes all season, earning ACC Player of the Year honors along the way. After advancing to the school’s second Sweet 16, Miami will continue to lean on Larkin on the second weekend of the Tournament. In a Sweet 16-clinching 63–59 win over Illinois, Larkin capped a 17-point night with a clutch go-ahead 3-pointer. The Quote “I know everybody on our team — we weren’t ready to go home. We had two close games. We had a lot of those this year. What we went through earlier this year prepared us for this weekend.” — Marquette guard Vander Blue, who scored 29 points on 9-of-15 shooting in a 74–72 victory over Butler and 16 points in a 59–58 win over Davidson.

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.
