Sidney priorities: Revenue, jobs city council’s top goal

BY TOM BARNETT tbarnett@sdnccg.com During Monday night’s Sidney City Council works session, Mayor Mike Barhorst led a brief discussion of goals for 2012 and beyond established at council’s Feb. 25 morning retreat.

Predictably, the need to increase revenues and jobs is

council’s top priority. Income tax revenues increase in direct proportion to increased jobs, one suggested revenue source was an income tax levy to support street repair/maintenance or and or public safety.

Ranked second in the survey is maintenance of the city’s streets, alleys and bridges. The city plans to con-

tinue communication with the county engineer’s office regarding use of roads and bridges tax dollars for bridges within Sidney’s corporate limits.

3: Alternate water source. Council’s short-term goal is to complete acquisition of a well field and well field protection properties. Development of wells and transmis-

sion main will occur when the local economy rebounds.

4: Code enforcement.

Encourage property owners to maintain their properties.

5: Neighborhood revitalization. Top priority is demolition of the former Wagner Manufacturing building on Fair Road and redevelopment of the site.

TODAY’S THOUGHT “Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men, even when they exercise influence and not authority, still more when you superadd the tendency or the certainty of corruption by authority.”

— Lord Acton, British historian (1834-1902), in a letter written on this date in 1887 For more on today in history, turn to Page 4B.

(AP) — COLUMBUS Ohio’s first execution in six months can proceed, a federal judge ruled Wednesday, saying it appears the state is serious about following its own lethal injection procedures.

The decision by U.S. District Judge Gregory Frost ends an unofficial moratorium dating to November, when members of the Ohio execution team deviated from the official injection procedures when putting a Cleveland man to death.

The changes were minor — failing to properly check a box on a medical form, for example — but they angered Frost, who had previously criticized the state for failing to follow its rules.

The judge’s decision followed a seven-day trial over the state’s lethal injection process last month.

The ruling paves the way for the April 18 execution of Mark Wiles for stabbing a 15year-old boy to death during a farmhouse burglary.

Frost said Wednesday he is “admittedly skeptical” about Ohio’s ability to carry the execution out properly, but said he’s ruling in favor of the state, while warning officials to get it right.

“They must recognize the consequences that will ensue if they fail to succeed in conducting a constitutionally sound execution of Wiles,” Frost wrote.

A message was left with Wiles’ attorney Wednesday.

In July, Frost scolded the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction for what he called haphazard See JUDGE/Page 4A

4 involved in Urbana woman’s dismembering COLUMBUS (AP) — Court documents show investigators believe four people were involved in the dismembering of a western Ohio woman found dead last week in her bathtub.

The records say Jessica Sacco’s boyfriend, Matthew Puccio, stabbed her torso with a knife and suffocated her with a plastic bag in their Urbana home.

Puccio also is accused of cutting off Sacco’s legs and one arm. Investigators say an Urbana

couple and a man from Fenton, Mich., helped.

The records say the Michigan man and his wife helped transport body parts for dumping in southwest Ohio and Kentucky. Police say she was killed around March 22.

Puccio is charged with murder. The others face various other charges. All are jailed on bond.

The suspects’ attorneys either haven’t returned calls or say they can’t immediately comment.

City’s 2012 road paving program focused on collector streets

BY TOM BARNETT tbarnett@sdnccg,com The city of Sidney’s 2012 road and bridge asphalt program will focus on main collector streets and the evaluation of alternative asphalt practices, Public Works director Chris Clark says.

“Mill and fill overlays are being reduced from 3 inches to 1.5 inch. Total length of streets to be paved is about 2.454 miles,” he said.

Major (three and four lane) roads selected are wider than standard streets and will require more material. Clark estimates asphalt to be used is equal to 3.65 miles of standard street overlays.

Tentative bid advertising for both asphalt and curb and gutter work is planned in mid-April for a bid opening the first part of May. The program’s target date for completion is October.

The program is budgeted at

$587,137, including a general fund total of $400,000, Auto License Tax for curb/gutter, $92,127; and $95,000 County Auto License Tax. Broken down, the program provides $466,549 for resurfacing and an estimated $108,225 for curb and gutter.

This year’s program does not include any paving of alleys, parking lots or residential streets, Clark advised.

The following collector streets (with estimated budg-

ets) have been selected by staff for the program: • Stolle Avenue, from Ohio 47 to Gleason Street, $49,023.

• North Vandemark Road, beginning at S curve to Russell Road, $141,015.

• Broadway Avenue, from Russell Road through its intersection at Parkwood Street, $62,152.

• Miami Avenue, from Jefferson Street to Kossuth Street, $42,057.

From Page 1

Russell Road to Wells Drive. Federal funds are being sought for reconstruction of Kuther Road, from Wright Road north to the corporation limits at Howard Street.

The $2.5 million project would be a 75/25 match.

The Ohio Department of Transportation will be milling and paving Ohio 47 from Vandemark Road to Kuther Road this year. The $347,000 project will be 80 percent funded by ODOT.

The city will receive notice this fall concerning an ODOT Municipal Bridge Grant application for replacement of the Michigan Street bridge over the CSX railroad. The $2.55 million project would be a 75/25 percent match.

The city may also seek a U.S. Department of Transportation grant for replacement of the Park Street bridge which would also be a 75/25 match.

Clark and Marty Keifer, street superintendent, will be visiting communities that have used micro-surfacing as an asphalt alternative in preparation for the Sidney’s street program in 2013.

“Obviously, staff wants to do more.” Clark said, “but our resources are limited.”

They developed the lesson to learn more about the importance of teaching children how to choose healthier foods to help prevent childhood obesity.

The FCCLA members helped the children make apple crafts and discussed the importance of healthy snacking. The children also received apple snacks and learned why apples were a healthy choice.

Michigan, Ohio to cooperate on Lake Erie algae TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. (AP) — Officials in Michigan and Ohio promised closer cooperation Wednesday in the quest for solutions to massive algae blooms in Lake Erie, a deadly threat to fish and a turnoff for tourists.

Delegations from both states, including their top environmental protection officials, agreed to push harder for reductions in phosphorus discharges

from farms, waste treatment plants and other sources while sharing ideas and supporting research. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency pledged technical and financial assistance.

“We all agreed that while more research is needed, that shouldn’t be a barrier to taking action now,” said Susan Hedman, chief of the EPA’s regional office in Chicago.

Ex-death row inmate makes plea deal TOLEDO (AP) — A Scotsman released from prison four years ago after spending two decades on Ohio’s death row has agreed to a plea deal over accusations that he threatened a judge who prosecuted his original case.

Ken Richey agreed to enter a guilty plea to a felony charge next week and will face no more than three years in prison, Todd Schroeder, an assistant prosecutor in Putnam County, said Wednesday.

Richey pleaded not guilty in January to charges that he left a threatening telephone message for the judge in the northwest Ohio county. Authorities said he called the courthouse on New Year’s Eve from his new home in Tupelo, Miss., warning the judge that he was coming to get him.

He is slated to change his plea next week.

Schreoder didn’t reveal the charge because he said it’s possible a change could be made. A message seeking comment

JUDGE and embarrassing deviations to its own rules. In response, Ohio rewrote its policies and said it would follow them in the future.

With those changes in place, Frost allowed the execution of Reginald Brooks in November for killing his three sons in 1982.

Following that execution, Frost again said the state hadn’t followed its rules. He criticized Ohio for switching the official whose job it is to announce the start and finish times of the lethal injection and failing to properly document that the inmate’s medical chart was reviewed.

Ohio argued the changes were minor deviations that didn’t affect the state’s ability to properly execute inmates.

The way Ohio puts inmates to death has been under scrutiny since 2009, when executioners tried unsuccessfully for nearly two hours to insert a needle into the veins of Romell Broom, sentenced to die for raping and killing a 14-year-old Cleveland girl. Then-Gov. Ted Strickland, a Democrat, eventually called the execution off, and Broom remains on death row, arguing in court filings that Ohio shouldn’t be allowed a second try at executing him.

Frost has never found Ohio’s execution process unconstitutional, meaning the delays have been based on technical questions about lethal injection.

Wiles, 49, had been out of prison on a previous aggravated robbery for less than a year on Aug. 7, 1985, when he killed 15year-old Mark Klima, a straight-A student who wanted to be a doctor, in a Portage County farmhouse, according to Ohio Parole Board records.

Mark Klima, the son of Wiles’ employers, was found by two girls who were staying at the farm, according to the parole board. The knife in his back had been used to cut a birthday cake the day before.

A report by the parole board also said Wiles had suffered a head injury in a bar 12 days before the slaying, and a doctor testified that tests indicate he may have an injury to part of the brain that regulates impulse control.

was left with Richey’s attorney.

Richey was on death row for 21 years after being convicted of setting a fire that killed a 2-yearold girl in 1986. He denied any involvement and became well-known in Britain, where there is no death penalty, as he fought for his release.

Among his supporters were several members of the British Parliament and Pope John Paul II. Following years of appeals, a federal court determined his lawyers mishandled the case, and his conviction was overturned. County prosecutors initially planned to retry him, but Richey was released in 2008 under a deal that required him to plead no contest to attempted involuntary manslaughter.

He also was ordered to stay away from the northwest Ohio county and anyone involved in the case.

Richey, though, carried a lifetime of bitterness over his conviction and couldn’t stay out of trouble once outside of prison.

From Page 1 Another doctor agreed that Wiles has a brain injury and said he also has a substance abuse problem and personality disorder.

The parole board ruled unanimously March 23 against mercy for Wiles, saying he exploited the family’s kindness and his remorse didn’t outweigh the brutality of the crime.

Wiles’ defense team had argued he should be spared because he confessed to the crime, has shown extreme remorse and regret and has a good prison record.

Gov. John Kasich has the final say on mercy for Wiles.

Justices debate legal consult for juveniles

OHIO ATTORNEY General Mike DeWine visits the Hollywood Casino Toledo Tuesday to see the surveillance cameras, tour the security department, and peek into the training of BCI agents who will be assigned there.

Toledo casino site almost ready for regulators COLUMBUS (AP) — Slot machines are almost fully installed and table games have been delivered to Ohio’s second casino, scheduled to open in late May in Toledo.

That was among updates heard by Ohio regulators Wednesday in Columbus as the state prepares for the openings of four voter-approved casinos in the next year or so.

Jeffrey Goodman, the vice president of casino operations for Hollywood Casino Toledo, told the Ohio Casino Control Commission that table games should be set up by mid-month, and that slots would be ready for regulators to test around then, too.

More than 510 table and poker dealers have been trained, Goodman said, and surveillance equipment is now installed.

The casino is aiming to hold its grand opening May 29, but that date is pending approval from commission. Cleveland’s casino is slated to open about two weeks earlier.

Voters in 2009 also ap-

proved casinos in Cincinnati and Columbus.

The commission on Wednesday reviewed the final steps leading up to the openings.

Each casino must do a test run several days before their grand openings, so that state regulators can get a simulated look at what a typical day might be like at the facilities.

Invited guests to the so-called controlled could demonstrations play the slots and table games and eat at the restaurants at the casinos. The winners would get to keep their earnings. The casinos would still have to pay the state 33 percent of gross earnings — defined as total amount wagered, minus winnings. And the rest of the casino’s net revenue from the demonstration would go to charity, said Matt Schuler, the commission’s executive director.

Background checks and licensing of employees and vendors is on track to meet the opening dates, Schuler said.

The commission on

Wednesday approved 861 licenses for casino employees in Toledo and Cleveland. So far, they’ve signed off on almost 1,140 licenses. And on Thursday, a casino employee in Cleveland was expected to be presented with the first state-issued license.

The state is also ramping up its efforts to tackle potential gambling addictions in the state.

Laura Clemens, the commission’s point person on problem gambling, told the panel that 200 additional social workers, counselors and others have now received training to treat those who are having gambling issues or addictions.

Commissioners were updated on law enforcement and security at the casinos.

Two to four investigators from the Ohio attorney general’s office will be roaming the casinos at any given time of day. The gambling agents, who will be dressed in business-casual clothing and carrying concealed guns, will keep an eye out for potential cheating and other problems.

COLUMBUS (AP) — The Ohio Supreme Court is expected to decide soon whether to require juvenile offenders facing the possibility of detention to consult with an attorney before deciding to waive their right to a lawyer.

Current court rules don’t require such a meeting, and the proposal is pitting youth advocates against some judges who say the requirement hinders the rights of parents and juveniles to make the decision themselves.

The push for the change is almost a decade old, dating to a 2003 American Bar Association report that found many poor children in the state routinely waived their right to an attorney. Three years later, an analysis of 2004 state data found that two in every three children facing a juvenile charge did so without an attorney.

“There’s a culture in a lot of counties that doesn’t really utilize public defenders or appointed counsel,” said Kim Tandy, executive director of the Children’s Law Center in Covington, Ky. The proposal would make the consultation mandatory for all situations where a juvenile might face detention, even for something as minor as petty theft. An alternative, to make the consultation mandatory only for the most serious charges, doesn’t go far enough, Tandy said.

Juvenile judges in more than 60 counties have expressed their concern about the proposal, most voicing similar concerns about cost, court resources and the interference with parental authority.

Texans sift through rubble

BRIEFLY

5 ex-cops sentenced NEW ORLEANS (AP) — A federal judge sentenced five former police officers to years in prison for the deadly shootings on a New Orleans bridge in the chaotic days following Hurricane Katrina but not before lashing out at prosecutors for allowing others involved to serve lighter penalties for their crimes.

The case that wrapped up Wednesday was the centerpiece of a Justice Department push to clean up New Orleans’ police department that has long been tainted with corruption.

U.S. District Judge Kurt Engelhardt expressed frustration that he was bound by mandatory minimum sentencing laws to imprison former Sgts.

Kenneth Bowen and Robert Gisevius and former officers Anthony Villavaso and Robert Faulcon for decades when other officers who engaged in similar conduct on the Danziger Bridge — but cut deals with prosecutors — are serving no more than eight years behind bars.

Yahoo fires 2,000 SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Yahoo’s turnaround attempt is going to be messy.

In his first three months on the job, CEO Scott Thompson has imposed the largest layoffs in the company’s 17-year history, reshaped the board of directors, picked a potentially disruptive fight with a major shareholder and sued Facebook for patent infringement.

He says there’s even more upheaval to come.

Thompson delivered a painful jolt Wednesday with a payroll purge of about 2,000 workers, or about 14 percent of Yahoo’s 14,100 employees. The cuts will save about $375 million annually as Yahoo tries to boost its earnings and long-slumping stock price.

10 killed MOGADISHU, Somalia (AP) — Two weeks ago, Somalia’s National Theater reopened for the first time in 20 years for a concert that drew an audience in festive colors in a city trying to rise above war. A welcoming banner proclaimed: “The country is being rebuilt.”

On Wednesday, the theater was turned into a scene of screams, chaos and blood when a suicide bomber attacked another high-profile event, killing 10 people, wounding dozens and shattering a tentative peace in the capital of Mogadishu.

OUT OF THE BLUE

Co-worker wasn’t nice WEST DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — An information technology worker accused of urinating on colleagues’ chairs at an office in Iowa has surrendered to police.

The Des Moines Register reports that 59-year-old Raymond Foley turned himself in Saturday to face a charge of second-degree criminal mischief.

Foley declined to comment to The Associated Press on Tuesday, other than to acknowledge that he no longer works at the Farm Bureau office in West Des Moines.

Police say some co-workers had complained about stains on their chairs. A security system was installed, and police say it caught Foley in the act.

SUPPORTERS OF Republican presidential candidate, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney cheer as he addresses a crowd at a campaign event, in Broomall, Penn., Wednesday.

Romney accuses Obama of ‘hide-and-seek’ campaign WASHINGTON (AP) — Mitt Romney unleashed a strong attack on President Barack Obama’s truthfulness Wednesday, accusing him of running a “hide-and-seek” reelection campaign designed to distract voters from his firstterm record while denying them information about his plans for a second.

Addressing an audience of newspaper editors and publishers, Romney said Obama’s recent remarks to Russian President Dmitry Medvedev on a second-term arms reduction treaty had called “his candor into question.” Romney, the likely GOP opponent for Obama in November, also accused the president of undergoing “a series of election-year conversions” on taxes, government regulation and energy production.

“He does not want to share his real plans before the election, either with the public or with the press,” Romney said.

“By flexibility, he means that what the American public

doesn’t know won’t hurt him.

He is intent on hiding. You and I will have to do the seeking.”

Romney himself has been sharply criticized by Rick Santorum and other Republican rivals for changing his own positions on issues ranging from abortion to climate control as part of an attempt to win the backing of conservative primary voters. Earlier this year, he reversed course on the minimum wage to bring his stance in line with party orthodoxy, saying he no longer believes it should rise along with inflation.

Romney spoke to the Newspaper Association of America and the American Society of Newspaper Editors as the Republican nominee-in-waiting, his standing confirmed by three primary victories Tuesday night in Wisconsin, Maryland and Washington, D.C. He campaigned Wednesday in Pennsylvania, where there’s a GOP primary April 24 — though Romney treated it more like the general election

battleground it will be in the fall. “Please help me defeat Barack Obama in November!”

Romney told a cheering crowd in Broomall, a Philadelphia suburb. Romney will also campaign in Pennsylvania on Thursday.

The former Massachusetts governor holds a commanding lead in delegates to the Republican National Convention and is on a pace to clinch the party’s top prize by the end of the primary season in June.

Responding to a question, he declined to say if he would support proposed legislation to protect confidential sources that journalists often rely on.

“Do I see a role for confidential sources? Yes. Do I ever see a time when a confidential source would have to be revealed? Yeah, I can see that, too,” he said.

And while he joked about sharing the rigors of campaign travel with reporters, he also took a mild swipe at some of the practices they employ.

Warm and fuzzy T. Rex? Maybe LOS ANGELES (AP) — The discovery of a giant meat-eating dinosaur sporting a downy coat has some scientists reimagining the look of Tyrannosaurus rex.

With a killer jaw and sharp claws, T. rex has long been depicted in movies and popular culture as having scaly skin. But the discovery of an earlier relative suggests the king of dinosaurs may have had a softer side.

The evidence comes from the unearthing of a new tyrannosaur species in northeastern China that lived 60 million years before T. rex.

The fossil record preserved remains of fluffy down, making it the largest feathered dinosaur ever found.

If a T. rex relative had feathers, why not T. rex? Scientists said the evidence is trending in that direction.

“People need to start changing their image of T. rex,” said Luis Chiappe, director of the Dinosaur Institute at the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County, who was not part

of the discovery team.

Much smaller dinosaurs with primitive feathers have been excavated in recent years, but this is the first direct sign of a huge, shaggy dinosaur. Scientists have long debated whether gigantic dinosaurs lost their feathers the bigger they got or were just not as extensively covered.

The new tyrannosaur species, Yutyrannus huali, is described in Thursday’s issue of the journal Nature. Its name is a blend of Latin and Mandarin, which translates to “beautiful feathered tyrant.”

A team of Chinese and Canadian scientists analyzed three well-preserved fossil skeletons — an adult and two juveniles — recovered from a quarry in China’s Liaoning province by a private fossil dealer. Most striking were the remains of down-like feathers on the neck and arm. Though coverage was patchy, scientists suspected the species had feathers over much of its body.

FORNEY, Texas (AP) — As a twister bore down on her neighborhood, Sherry Enochs grabbed the three young children in her home and hid in her bathtub. The winds swirled and snatched away two of the children. Her home collapsed around her.

Miraculously, no one was seriously hurt.

Enochs, 53, stood Wednesday amid the wreckage of what was once her home in the North Texas city of Forney, among the hardest hit by a series of tornadoes that barreled through one of the nation’s largest metropolitan areas a day earlier. No one was reported dead, and of the more than 20 injured, only a handful were seriously hurt.

“If you really think about it, the fact that everybody who woke up in Forney yesterday is alive today in Forney, that’s a real blessing,” Mayor Darren Rozell said.

The National Weather Service is investigating the damage caused by the tornadoes, which appeared to flatten some homes and graze others next door. The twisters jumped from place to place, passing many heavily populated areas overhead and perhaps limiting what could have been a more damaging, deadly storm. Most of Dallas was spared the full wrath of the storms.

While tornadoes can strike major cities, having two major systems strike a single metropolitan area is highly unusual, meteorologist Jesse Moore said. The Texas twisters would have done more damage had they stayed on the ground for more of the storms’ path. But weather experts and officials credited the quick response to tornado warnings for preventing deaths or more injuries.

In the Diamond Creek subdivision where Enochs’ home was destroyed, residents put on work gloves Wednesday and began cleaning up. Many noticed things in their front yards that didn’t belong to them.

Enochs doesn’t have a clear memory of exactly how things happened Tuesday, but she was found holding her grandson in the bathtub, which had blown into the area where her garage once was. A 3-year-old she was watching was found wandering around the backyard. A neighbor pulled another child Enochs had been taking care of, 19-month-old Abigail Jones, from the rubble.

“I heard the rumbling from the tornado and I didn’t even hear the house fall,” Enochs said.

Bomb kills 10, including 3 GIs KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — A suicide bomber on a motorcycle killed at least 10 people, including three American soldiers, at a park in a relatively peaceful area of northern Afghanistan on Wednesday, part of an increase in violence at the start of the spring fighting season.

The Taliban, which claimed responsibility for the attack, are targeting Afghan and NATO security forces as they fight to assert their power and undermine U.S. efforts to try to build up the Afghan military, who will take the lead in combat responsibility over the next couple of years.

Shortly before noon, the bomber detonated his explosives at the gate of the park in Maimanah, the capital of Faryab province, police spokesman Lal Mohammad Ahmad Zai said. His target was unclear, but Zai said four of the 10 killed were Afghan police officers. At least 20 people were wounded, officials said.

In Kabul, NATO said three of its service members were killed in a bombing Wednesday in northern Afghanistan. It provided no other details about the at-

tack or the nationalities of the three.

A senior U.S. defense official, however, confirmed that three were American troops killed in the Faryab bombing. He spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to release the information.

Norway and Germany, which commands alliance operations in northern Afghanistan, said none of their troops were involved. Troops of other nationalities also serve in the area — most of them at a Norwegian base that works on partnering with Afghan troops so that they can eventually take control of security in the region.

Associated Press video footage of the scene of the attack shows what appear to be dead Afghan civilians, police and foreign troops. Body parts are strewn around the gate and on the ground, which is spattered with blood.

In a statement on their Web site, the Afghan Taliban claimed killing 16 coalition troops and 12 Afghans in the Faryab suicide attack.

Taliban spokesman Qari Yousef Ah-

madi said a suicide bomber detonated his explosive belt among coalition forces in Maimanah as they were traveling to a park. He added that eyewitnesses said that the coalition troops indiscriminately fired their weapons, killing one civilian and wounding others. That report could not be confirmed.

Faryab is relatively calm but is a stronghold of the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan, or IMU, an al-Qaida affiliated group that has been most active in Afghanistan’s northern provinces. The IMU was formed in 1991, originally aiming to set up an Islamic state in Uzbekistan, which borders Afghanistan. Later it expanded its goal to seeking an Islamic state across Central Asia.

On March 26, a joint Afghan and coalition force in Faryab killed the group’s leader in Afghanistan, Makhdum Nusrat. The coalition said Nusrat had been leading attacks against Afghan and coalition troops in the north for the past eight months and was plotting the assassination of a member of parliament in Kabul.

The exercise taking place on Monday at Sidney High School will include staff only from Emerson Elementary, Sidney Middle and Sidney High schools. The health department will hand out lists of medication that each family would receive in several types of public health emergencies. This scenario is about inhalation anthrax exposure. In this case a preventative medication would need to be given to individuals who were exposed within 48 hours. This disease is not communicable.

The Point of Dispensing (POD) will be overseen by Dr. Paul Weber and pharmacist Julie Ehemann.

It is a good way to recover from many years of bad driving habits.”

Newly updated and revised, the AARP Driver Safety Program helps to meet the challenges drivers face daily on today’s roads. In discussion groups participants will learn: • Defensive driving techniques, new traffic laws and rules of the road.

• How to adjust to agerelated changes in vision, hearing and reaction time.

• How to deal with aggressive drivers.

• How medications may affect driving.

• How to safely use anti-lock brakes, air bags and safety belts.

Savings of $1,256 was calculated over the lifetime of 40 CFL bulbs–the number of bulb sockets in the average home. Replacing 40 incandescents with CFLs would save $1,200 over the life of the CFLs. The savings with DP&L’s offer, an average of $1.40 per bulb, to purchase each of those CFLs is $56.

Issue #27 - April 5, 2012

Spectacular “Schmo” BY: MEGHAN BENNETT When walking the halls of Lehman High School you will most likely come across a teacher. If you are lucky enough, you might just run into Mr. Joe Schmiesing who is always clad in a tie and ready for class. If you are even luckier, you will have a moment to sit down and let him teach you about God and maybe, just about life.

Schmiesing is no stranger to Lehman High School.

He graduated in 2000 from Lehman and continued his education at The Franciscan University of Steubenville. He graduated in 2003 with a B.A in History.

Schmiesing teaches a variety of classes including Freshman English, Religion 202, Religion 302, Religion 402, and World History. Though this may sound like a busy schedule, Schmiesing’s involvement at Lehman does not stop here. He is the advisor for the Academia team, serves as the Europe trip coordinator, and has also coordinated the Kairos retreat for seniors for the past nine years.

For many seniors, Schmiesing has made an impact on their spiritual lives that they will never forget. Senior David Freytag said,. “Mr. Schmiesing is the best adult leader for Kairos. He has really helped me to learn more about my faith and grow in God’s love.”

Senior Dan Sehlhorst had this to say about Mr. Schmiesing’s influence: “He has been a huge support to me and a great example. He has really helped me form my faith.”

Schmiesing cannot be more enthusiastic about his job. “It is a privilege to be able to teach at a school where faith and reason are in harmony. God creates, sustains, and saves me.” His philosophy about God’s love is projected in his classroom. Every day, students leave with a greater understanding of their faith.

Outside of school, Schmiesing (“Schmo”) enjoys gardening, fishing, and hiking with his family. He is married to Erica (also a 2000 LHS grad), and has been blessed with his children Thomas, Rosemarie, Leopold, and Bruno. He is also active on both the Board of Directors for the Elizabeth New Life Center and Catholichistory.net. Schmiesing attends Holy Angels Church and is a member of the oblates of the Community of St. John.

The halls of Lehman High School would not be the same without Mr. Schmiesing. He has truly made an impact on all of our students.

Softball’s star

Crazy for accents!

BY: JULIA HARRELSON

BY: COLLEEN KINNINGER

Sophomore Lindsay Bundy loves softball. She has been playing for nine years and been on five different teams including the Cross County Cannons and Miami County Blaze. For Lehman, she was the starting pitcher as a freshman and continues at that position this season.

Bundy enjoys playing Lehman softball. “Last year was great. A lot of people helped out, but this year will be just as good! We have a lot of potential and I feel much more confident pitching,” she said. Bundy should feel confident because she averages a pitching speed of 55 mph and is improving with every game. She practices her pitching not only during the season, but year round.

When she plays for traveling teams during the summer, she either pitches or plays third base. “I don’t have a favorite between the two, I like them both,” she said.

The pitcher is arguably the most important player on the team.

If you don’t have one, you cannot possibly hope to win a game, let alone play one. Being a leader on the team does not mean just being good, but having a good attitude. Bundy has both these qualities. Senior and teammate Meghan Bennett explains, “Lindsay is an awesome addition to the team. She is always positive and willing to work hard for the betterment of the team.”

With the season underway, Bundy and her teammates are looking forward to a possible winning season and a long tournament run. Come out to Flannigan Field and support Bundy and the rest of the Lady Cavaliers!

For every language in the world, there is usually some distinct accent to it. Many people like to play around with accents to try to spice up typical conversations. In this year’s musical, Crazy for You, there are two accents: British and Hungarian.

Seniors William Duritsch and Natalie Davis play Eugene and Patricia Fodor.

This brother and sister are actual historical people, British tourists who come to Deadrock, Nevada, while writing a guidebook to the American West. In real life, the Fodors began a series of travel guidebooks in the 1930’s that are still published today. “Our characters are witty, adventurous and very proper!” commented Davis.

To prepare for their parts, Davis and Duritsch took two very different approaches.

“I love my accent! I do accents for fun all the time, so it is nothing new. I don’t have to practice because I’m practically perfect!” said Davis.

Duritsch took the opposite view: “I did not like my accent at first, but it has kind of grown on me. I do have to practice the accent though because I had never tried to do a British accent before getting this part in the musical.”

Junior Ethan Jock plays Bela Zangler, a Hungarian theater director who creates the amazing shows of the Zangler Follies.

The Zangler name is a takeoff on the famous Ziegfeld Follies of the 1920’s, lavish shows produced by Broadway legend Florence Ziegfeld. In speaking about his character, Jock said, “It is funny because he repeatedly calls Bobby a moron for his newness to the theater.”

Jock added, “I love my accent! I love talking in an accent because it definitely helps me get into character. I don’t really have to practice except for a couple of words. I guess it sounds alright because I haven’t been told to change it!” Jock commented. We wish these three actors the best of luck as they add their new way of speaking into this production!

Easter traditions BY: MADILYN BROWN It’s that time of year again. It’s time to get out the Easter eggs, the baskets, and all the sweets. Most importantly, it’s time to reflect on the Resurrection of our Savior. The reason for all the Lenten promises and sacrifices is finally almost here. This is the biggest time in the Church for rejoicing and celebrating. Junior Kennedy McIver said, “I just love Easter!”

Many people have filled this time of year with different Easter traditions. A very popular tradition is that the ‘Easter bunny’ brings goodies to your house. It is also very common to dye eggs this time of year. “Every year we have an Easter egg hunt with the grandkids depending on the weather, and we always make time to get together for dinner,” stated English teacher Mrs. Saluke.

Easter is a great time to celebrate and bring the family together, especially to celebrate Jesus and all the sacrifices we’ve been making leading up to the celebration of His Resurrection. “I’m usually out on retreat at this time, but I love spending this time with my family to reflect on the sacrifice Jesus made for us,” said sophomore Patrick Blenman.

Rain or shine, and no matter how this magnificent time is enjoyed, we must all remember how important this time of year is in Christian churches throughout the world.

DR. WALLACE: I recycle newspapers and paper products, first, because I want to help our environment by saving our wonderful and beautiful trees. Next, I enjoy get-

ting money for selling the paper products. I thought it was a win-win situation.

Last week, I saw a television program that talked about tree farms, and it said that recycling newspaper products is not saving our trees. Are conservation advocates such as I am actually being conned? What’s the story? I only buy paper products that are made of recycled paper! — Josie, Mansfield, Ohio.

JOSIE: Almost all of our lumber comes from 1.2 billion tree farms in the United States and Canada. Because of these farms, there are more trees growing in these two great countries than there were 100 years ago. It’s true that recycling paper and paper products is not primarily for the conser-

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Today the only Full Moon in your sign all year is taking place.

Yikes! This can make you overly emotional.

Guard against knee-jerk reactions. Think before you speak, especially with partners and close friends.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Stress to your health as well as stress in your job are likely today, because of the energy of the Full Moon. Don’t take this too seriously.

(It passes very quickly.)

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) This is an extremely poor day to have an argument with any authority figure. The Full Moon will blow everything out of proportion.

Remember this.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Today you feel the classic dilemma of trying to do the impossible: keeping everyone at home happy, as well as everyone in your job.

You just can’t do it.

(Don’t ignore family.)

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) The energy of today’s Full Moon could distract you enough to cause an accident. Be aware of this. If you are mindful, this doesn’t need to happen.

PISCES

(Feb. 19 to March 20) Financial stress or arguments about shared property could come to a head today because of the Full Moon. Wait 48 hours before you decide on anything important.

YOU BORN TODAY Because you have a magnetic personality, people are drawn to you. You love to experiment and explore new ideas, and you always want to get to the bottom of something.

You’re speculative and will constantly test new ideas. In the year ahead, something you’ve been involved in for nine years will diminish or end to make room for something new.

HOROSCOPE

BY FRANCIS DRAKE What kind of day will tomorrow be? To find out what the stars say, read the forecast given for your birth sign.

For Friday, April 6, 2012 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) The only Full Moon that is opposite your sign all year is taking place today. This is why you will feel some challenges when dealing with partners and close friends. Guard against knee-jerk reactions.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Be extra patient with co-workers, customers and bosses today. People all around you are losing it because of today’s Full Moon (and this could include you).

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Everyone can feel the tension of today’s Full Moon, including children. Be patient with kids. Similarly, romantic partners will have to be patient with each other.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Avoid domestic squabbles today. It’s just Full Moon tension. This tension is gone in 48 hours.

(No biggie.)

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) This is an accidentprone day for you because the Full Moon tension could create distractions that, in turn, could cause an accident.

Forewarned is forearmed.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22)

The arms and my co-worker see his legs jerk repeatedly. The regular doctor. What mouth fills with saliva.

Usually, the person emits a groan at the onset of the seizure.

Seizures last only a few minutes, but it seems like an eternity to the observers. The patient wakens and does not remember what happened.

He or she might appear somewhat confused.

This man needs a thorough workup soon. A neurologist is the doctor who specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of seizures. One seizure doesn’t constitute epilepsy, but the possibility of another seizure occurring is high. The neurologist will assess that possibility. Brain scans and a brain-wave test, an EEG (electroen-

cephalogram), are all but standard for someone like this man.

A tip for those who observe a seizure in progress: Put something soft under the patient’s head.

Remove eyeglasses. Loosen ties and collars. Don’t try to forcibly stop the jerking movements. Don’t pry open the person’s mouth to prevent swallowing of the tongue. That never happens.

Time the seizure. It’s usually over in two minutes. If it lasts longer than five minutes, medical help should be summoned.

When the seizure stops, turn the patient on his side in case he should vomit.

I miss the mom who doesn’t drink, but I can’t be around her when she does. As I grow in my recovery, I may figure out how to do that. But for now, I need to put space between us.

Is that wrong? — STILL A LOVING DAUGHTER IN WISCONSIN DEAR STILL A LOVING DAUGHTER: No, it’s not wrong. Your mother’s binge drinking was affecting her health as well as her relationship with you, and while it may have been difficult and wrenching, it was the right thing to do — for both of you. Let’s hope that your strength in doing that will give her the strength to stop her alcohol binges.

Sullinger headed to NBA COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — After guiding Ohio State to the Final Four, two-time AllAmerican forward Jared Sullinger figured he might as well see what he could do for an NBA team.

The 6-foot-9 sophomore announced on Wednesday that he is giving up his final two seasons with the Buckeyes to make himself available for the NBA draft in June. Most projections have him going in the top 10 picks.

“Going to the Final Four with a team that many people said we weren’t good enough, weren’t strong enough, mentally tough weren’t enough, and still being able to get to the Final Four with all the ups and downs we had, I think that was tremendous for this basketball team,” Sullinger said, flanked by his parents and coach Thad Matta. “Once we got to the Final Four, we were trying to win it. But unfortunately, we fell short. I feel at peace with the decision I’m making.”

CINCINNATI REDS’ Joey Votto smiles at Reds owner Bob Castellini during a news conference announcing Votto's 12-year deal Wednesday in Cincinnati. The extension adds 10 years to his previous contract and a club option for 2024. The value of the agreement, the longest guaranteed contract in major league history, is for more than $200 million.

12-year deal for Votto Longest guaranteed contract in major league history CINCINNATI (AP) — Joey Votto got the big payday by staying in a small market, agreeing to a 12-year deal with the Cincinnati Reds on Wednesday that is the longest guaranteed contract in major league history.

The deal adds 10 years to his previous contract and includes a club option for 2024, when the first baseman will be winding down his career.

After watching NL Central rivals St. Louis and Milwaukee lose their first basemen to big deals in bigger markets, the Reds secured their 2010 National League MVP for more than $200 million, easily eclipsing the package that Ken Griffey Jr. got to return home in 2000 as the largest in Reds’ history.

“Is it risky?” said owner Bob Castellini, who sought a lot of outside advice before signing off on the deal. “No doubt. That’s the environment we live in, especially as a small market. We feel Joe will be a cornerstone.”

It wasn’t an easy decision

ing is definitely right.”

Sullinger’s father, Satch, was his coach at national power Northland High School in Columbus. He believed the youngest of his three sons, all of whom played Division I basketball, had the ability to play in the NBA. But he also knew he wasn’t ready a year ago when Jared was considered a top-five pick.

“The skill set’s always been there. But last year, at this time, I wasn’t comfortable as a parent with the option of him possibly going to the NBA,” Satch Sullinger said. “Jared’s had it pretty easy in basketball, he’s been relatively injury free. This year I watched the peaks and valleys and I watched him mature. There’s only one way to get experience and that’s by being inexperienced in a situation. I watched him be immature in certain things and work his way out of it. I saw that consistency start to come back during the end of the season run all the way through the Final Four.”

See SULLINGER/Page 16

for the 28-year-old first baseman to make such a long-term commitment. He decided he had found contentment in Cincinnati, which took him in the second round of the June 2002 draft.

“Maybe I could have found that elsewhere,” Votto said.

“Maybe not. But I like what I’ve got here.”

Under Castellini, the Reds have been trying to rebuild the franchise into a regular winner by developing players and holding onto them. Six of their nine starters on opening day have come through the farm system.

Keeping Votto rather than letting him leave for a bigger market was considered a key.

“It’s hard to compete with the bigger markets,” manager Dusty Baker said before a workout at Great American Ball Park. “You see those guys who have left — they couldn’t come up with a deal — and they go to bigger markets like New York, L.A.,

“It means a lot not only for the franchise but also for the city. It means kids can grow up emulating him and pretending to be Joey Votto.”

Albert Pujols helped St. Louis win the World Series, then got a $240 million, 10year deal from the Angels in December. Prince Fielder led Milwaukee to the division title, but left for a $214 million, nineyear contract with the Tigers.

The Reds have been trying to lock up the young core of their team for the past few years. Outfielder Jay Bruce received a six-year, $51 million deal after the 2010 season, when Cincinnati won the division but got swept in the playoffs by Philadelphia.

Votto was offered a longterm deal then as well, but chose a $38 million, three-year contract instead. He said he’s more willing to make a longterm commitment now, and joked his girlfriend probably was happy about that, too.

Athlete of the Week

CLEVELAND (AP) — The Browns' exhibition schedule this summer looks a lot like last year's.

Cleveland will play Detroit, Green Bay, Philadelphia and Chicago, the same four opponents the Browns faced last preseason, their first under coach Pat Shurmur.

The Browns will play their first two exhibition games on the road -- against the Lions on the weekend of Aug. 9-13 and the Packers on the weekend of Aug. 16-20. Cleveland's two home games will be against the Eagles (Aug. 2327) and Bears (Aug. 30-31).

Specific dates and times for the games have not yet been announced. The Browns said an announcement will be coming "in the near future."

Cleveland will be playing Detroit for the 11th consecutive preseason and Chicago for the ninth year in a row.

Sidney assistant named at NB

Jason McGaharan, an assistant football coach at Sidney, has been named the new head football coach at New Bremen High School.

The announcement was made in an email by New Bremen athletic director Gary Jones. It is pending board approval.

McGaharan was the running backs coach for Sidney head coach Adam Doenges last season, and the two years prior to that, was the offensive coordinator under Dan Cairns.

He is currently coaching the boys track team at Sidney.

McGaharan will replace Rob Messick, who stepped down after last season, when the Cardinals finished 0-10.

See VOTTO/Page 15 He was the head coach for five seasons.

Kennedy Metz

Russia freshman Kennedy Metz had an amazing week for the Lady Raider softball team last week. She started off with two triples, a home run, three runs scored and three batted in in her first varsity game against Houston. She then went 3-for-4 with a double and four RBIs against Fort Recovery, and capped it off with a home run and three RBIs against Minster, and four doubles and five RBIs against Delphos Jefferson in two games Saturday. That gave her 15 runs batted in in just those four games.

TIER” TEAM NO MORE 1 “SECOND Ryan Newman’s win at Martinsville was the third for Stewart-Haas Racing this season. Newman’s teammate and co-owner, Tony Stewart, has two victories (Las Vegas, Auto Club). The organization can also boast eight wins in the last 16 Cup events dating back to the 2011 season. The victory was Newman’s first since July 2011 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway and 16th in his 11th full season in Cup competition.

BACK TO NORMAL Five weeks after 2 rookie John King’s upset victory in the Camping World Truck Series’ season-opening race in Daytona, the favorites took center stage in Martinsville. Kevin Harvick dominated the Kroger 250 in Martinsville. Harvick led 248 of the 250 laps en route to his win in the No. 2 Richard Childress Racing Chevy.

Earnhardt is one of only four drivers this year to have scored four top 10s in the six races, joining Greg Biffle, Jimmie Johnson and Martin Truex Jr. None of the four have visited Victory Lane this season.

Ryan Newman takes the checkered flag following his win in the Goody’s Fast Relief 500.

By MATT TALIAFERRO Athlon Sports Racing Editor

Old Bristol or new? To race at Auto Club Speedway or not. Pack Racing vs. Tandem Drafting.

NASCAR fans often ask for better racing, more passing and added drama at most any current track.

Ironically (or perhaps not), it’s NASCAR’s oldest active Cup Series facility that draws the least bit of venom from its hardcore fanbase.

Quaint little Martinsville Speedway, nestled at the foot of the Blue Ridge Mountains in Martinsville, Va., (population 14,428) hosted one of NASCAR’s eight sanctioned events in its inaugural 1949 season.

And 63 years later, it still provides fans of short track stock car racing the most bang for the buck.

Although Jeff Gordon threatened to stink up the show in Sunday’s Goody’s Fast Relief 500, the crowded confines of the paperclipshaped half mile did not disappoint.

Gordon and his Hendrick Motorsports teammate, Jimmie Johnson, combined to lead 440 of the scheduled 500 laps, but as with most Martinsville-hosted races, the dramatic conclusion trumped what was an otherwise tame race.

Gordon (328 laps led) and Johnson (112) engaged in a classic dogfight that resembled their April 2007 slugfest in Martinsville, racing doorto-door and trading paint as the laps wound down.

However, a caution flag thrown

for David Reutimann’s stalled car bunched up the field for a greenwhite-checker finish. The Hendrick duo remained on the track while others pitted to retain valuable track position, but the move backfired.

On the restart, Clint Bowyer — with fresh tires — barrelled into Turn 1 under Gordon and Johnson after taking a shot from Ryan Newman.

That forced a three-wide situation that resulted in Bowyer, Gordon and Johnson spinning as Newman, AJ Allmendinger, Dale Earnhardt Jr. and others slipped through.

When the second “overtime” green flag waved, Newman took advantage of the quicker low line to hold off Allmendinger, Earnhardt, Matt Kenseth and Martin Truex Jr. “We were probably an equivalent car to the 22 (Allmendinger) all day long,” Newman said. “We raced nose-to-tail for a long time and that’s why I chose the inside (lane) because I felt like that was the lane to have. Eight tires are always better than four, and I didn’t want to have to lean on AJ, and I didn’t, but if I needed to, then I could. It was just about knowing that that was the ideal line for me and my racecar.

“I was really only worried about (Dale Earnhardt) Junior because I knew he would try to do the exact same thing Clint did because that’s what we all try to do. If eight (tires) are better than four, then 12 has got to be the best. It didn’t work out for Clint, but we always try.”

Understandably, Gordon and

Johnson — each in search of Hendrick Motorsports’ 200th Cup Series win — were searching for answers after the race.

“It’s just unfortunate that something stupid, last-ditch effort, divebomb or something along those lines wipes you out,” Johnson said. “But when you race long enough, you know that stuff happens.

“My frustration — and certainly Jeff’s — is to be the class of the field all day long and be up front and have something stupid like this take us out,” Johnson said. “It is frustrating. We want to get this 200th win for Rick real bad and we could have been 1-2 today easily.”

Johnson ended the race 12th while Gordon ran out of fuel after the Turn 1 melee and settled for a 14th-place finish.

For his part, Earnhardt saw no malice associated with Bowyer’s aggressive move with two laps to go.

“The leaders had more than a hundred laps on their tires and the guys behind them had new tires at least on one side of the car,” the thirdplace finisher said. “And we all took off and ran in the back of the leaders — all of us.

“So Clint went to the inside, and that was his prerogative, man. He was going for the win and I thought it was a good move. Just not enough room for all three of them down there in that corner and everybody got together.”

In addition to his runs at Bristol and Martinsville, Vickers was scheduled to pilot the car at both New Hampshire races, Bristol in August, and Martinsville in October. MWR has since added the two road course events — at Infineon and Watkins Glen — to his slate.

“Brian did such an amazing job at Bristol that we wanted to reward him with more races,” team co-owner Michael Waltrip said. “It has as much to do with how he interacted with (crew chief) Rodney Childers and the crew as what he did on the race track.”

Speed at Texas is important, but so is a good shock and suspension package that allows the car to handle the bumps that have formed in Turns 1, 2 and 3. The exit of two and the entrance of three are the trouble spots, both from a driver’s and a mechanic’s perspective. It’s one of those places where, in my mind, strange things happen. I’m always extra wary when we go there.”

Classic Moments Texas Motor Speedway For the second straight year, Dale Earnhardt Jr. was the man to beat at Texas Motor Speedway, but unlike in 2000 — when he scored his first Winston Cup win — it was not to be.

Earnhardt was on cruise control until the caution waved with 21 laps remaining in the 2001 Harrah’s 500. A slow pit stop left him lined up ninth on the restart with lapped cars to the inside.

Johnny Benson Jr.’s James Ince-led team gambled on two tires during the stop and led the field to green with 19 laps to go. He held off a snarling pack consisting of Jeff Gordon, Kurt Busch, Dave Blaney, Dale Jarrett and Steve Park for 13 laps until Jarrett powered by off of Turn 2.

Jarrett pulled away from there, beating Park to the line by .703 seconds. Earnhardt finished a disappointing eighth.

Kurt Busch, in an unsponsored Roush Ford, notched his first career top 5. His No. 97 team landed Rubbermaid/Sharpie as the sponsor the following week.

Athlon Fantasy Stall Looking at Checkers: No one can top Matt Kenseth’s 8.7-place average finish at Texas.

Pretty Solid Pick: Jimmie Johnson owns 12 top 10s in 17 TMS starts.

Good Sleeper Pick: Clint Bowyer’s new MWR team is cooking — and he’s typically good at Texas.

Runs on Seven Cylinders: In seven Cup starts at TMS, Brad Keselowski averages a 23.7-place showing.

Insider Tip: Probably best to stick with a Hendrick, Roush or StewartHaas driver.

A pair of wins and a seventh-place showing in the last four races find Stewart and the boys sitting third in the point standings.

Biffle has to be happy to just get out of Martinsville — where he had averaged a 22.4-place finish — with a solid 13th and the points lead.

He’s not winning races yet, but consecutive third-place runs and top 15s in each race this season are a great sign. Of course, he did the same thing in 2008 prior to a second-half swoon.

Throw out the wreck-induced 42nd-place finish in the Daytona 500 — a wreck he did not cause — and Johnson has been 12th or better every weekend.

On a weekend when Roush Fenway Racing was wholly out to lunch, Kenseth did what champions do: Make chicken salad en route to an unlikely fourth-place run.

The victim of a questionable call by NASCAR when lining up the field during the green-white-checker restart at Martinsville, Keselowski deserved better than his ninth-place finish.

Based on his performances in seasons past, it’s tough to buy into Truex’s early-season showing.

Amazingly, his stats are better than Jimmie Johnson’s thus far.

Bowyer’s aggressive dive bomb into Turn 1 at Martinsville ultimately cost him a shot at the win. Then his Jayhawks lost an NCAA title to Kentucky. At least he’s heading in the right direction in the standings.

Expected a lot more out of the defending Martinsville winner last Sunday. Instead, it was a 19th-place stinker. Still, that run was by far his worst result of the season.

After two 21st-place runs to start the year, Newman has rebounded well — capped by Sunday’s win.

Inexplicably, Edwards still has yet to lead a lap this season.

If it weren’t for bad luck ...

For anyone else, a sixth at Martinsville would be acceptable. For Hamlin, it’s a missed opportunity.

When he’s running, he’s running well. When he’s not, Brian Vickers is picking up the slack.

Uncharacteristically slow start for Busch, but he’ll rebound.

Return trip Sidney’s Austin Folck returns a serve in a match against Greenville Wednesday at the high school in first singles play. No details of the match were available.

Votto’s big payday sets up Reds’ opening day CINCINNATI (AP) — Former Reds infielder Doug Flynn remembers opening day 1975, when he sidled up next to Pete Rose by the dugout railing and checked out the capacity crowd at Riverfront Stadium.

His first opening day in Cincinnati was one of his best.

“I was in the big leagues,” Flynn said, standing in the dugout.

“I was so pumped up!

“You remember the good ones, and the bad ones.”

Flynn’s team started on its way to a World Series championship in 1975. The current Reds have reason to think they could be a contender as well when they get started against the Miami Marlins today.

They’ve already had their first big payday.

First baseman Joey

Votto agreed to a contract on Wednesday that added 10 years and $225 million while keeping him under contract through 2023 and makes him the face of the franchise. Fans will get their first chance to recognize the long-term commitment during pregame introductions.

“It means a lot not only for the franchise but also for the city,” manager Dusty Baker said. “It means kids can grow up emulating him and pretending to be Joey Votto.”

The Reds won’t be the only big spenders on the field.

The Marlins changed their name, moved into a new ballpark and spent $191 million to acquire NL batting champion Jose Reyes, left-hander Mark Buehrle and closer Heath Bell in the offseason. They

also hired manager Ozzie Guillen to oversee the onfield transition.

After opening their new ballpark against the defending World Series champion St. Louis Cardinals on Wednesday night, the Marlins were looking forward to getting into a routine in Cincinnati.

“Get out of here and relax a little,” Guillen said. “The last couple of days have been crazy.

There has been a lot going on. I felt like I was in the World Series again a little bit.”

After their game on Thursday, the Reds and Marlins have a day off before getting back into a more normal schedule.

“I think everybody is going to look forward to getting on the flight and getting to Cincinnati, especially with that off day,” said Buehrle.

Votto gets base salaries of $9.5 million this year and $17 million in 2013. With the additional 10 years, Votto’s contract tops the 11 guaranteed seasons Colorado gave Todd Helton in 2001.

It’s an aggressive move for a small market franchise. Castellini said Votto’s deal won’t handcuff the franchise in keeping other players or Baker, who is entering the final year on his deal.

“What we’re doing will not be to the financial detriment to the makeup of our team in the future,” he said.

The Reds essentially kept their roster intact after their 2010 championship season and slipped back to third place last year. They changed strategies in the past offseason, trading for starter Mat Latos and reliever Sean Marshall while remaking their bench.

Votto is the fulcrum of an offense that is one of the most productive in the NL, playing in one of its most homer-friendly ballparks. Votto batted .324 with 37 homers and 113 RBIs in 2010, and followed that by batting .309 with 29 homers, 103 RBIs and a careerhigh 40 doubles last year.

His contract eclipses the nine-year, $116 million deal that Griffey got to return to his hometown team in a trade with Seattle in 2000 as the richest in club history. Griffey was the face of the franchise then, even though much of his time in Cincinnati was spent recovering from injuries.

Now, it’s Votto’s turn.

“It means a lot to the city to have Joey as the face of the franchise,” Baker said. “He’s a very good role model for the task.”

Votto’s shy personality came across during a news conference broadcast live to announce the deal. He practiced reading a statement beforehand, but acknowledged that he was nervous. When he stumbled over a word, he joked, “There was a typo right there.”

Finally, he put the paper aside and talked about how he’d react to the deal.

“I always try to do my best,” he said. “I can’t promise you anything going forward. I can’t promise you health or promise you production.

I can promise you I’ll do my best.”

IN BRIEF

Reds send Frazier down CINCINNATI (AP) — The Reds optioned utility player Todd Frazier to Triple-A Louisville on Wednesday, setting their roster at the 25-player limit for opening day.

Cincinnati needed to open a spot for righthanded reliever Alfredo Simon, who was claimed off waivers from Baltimore a day earlier. Simon goes into a bullpen depleted by injuries.

The Reds made several anticipated moves, placing closer Ryan Madson on the 60-day disabled list with a torn elbow ligament and right-hander Nick Masset on the 15-day disabled list with an inflamed pitching shoulder.

They also put right-hander Jordan Smith on the 15-day DL and selected the minor league contract of utility player Willie Harris, who agreed to a deal in January and was invited to training camp.

The Reds open at home on Thursday against the Miami Marlins.

Manning named at Tulsa TULSA, Okla. (AP) — It didn't take long for Danny Manning to realize the lineage of Tulsa basketball.

In the coaches' locker room that he'll now occupy, the former NBA AllStar noticed the pictures of Nolan Richardson, Tubby Smith and Bill Self.

“All they’ve gone on to do since they left here is win national championships,” Manning said Wednesday as he was formally introduced as Tulsa’s Manning new coach. Great, great tradition and I’m looking forward to being a part of it."

Athletic director Ross Parmley picked Manning as the replacement for Doug Wojcik, who set the school's wins record in seven seasons in charge of the Golden Hurricane but never reached the NCAA tournament.

Tulsa has had six straight winning seasons.

Player scores 113 points BEIRUT (AP) — Move over Wilt Chamberlain.

Another basketball player joined the elite century club after scoring 113 points in a Lebanese league game.

Mohammad El Akkari led Moutahed to a 173141 victory over Bejjeh in a Division A league game on Tuesday. He scored 32 3-pointers in 59 attempts and was 40-for-69 overall from the floor. He only had one free throw.

The basketball world governing body website said the 6-foot-2 guard is the first player to score more than 100 points in an official league game in any of its Asian national federations.

Two players achieved the feat in non-league games. Lou Salvador had 116 points for the Philippines against China in the 1923 Far Eastern Games, and Jeron Teng scored 104 for Xavier School against Grace Christian College in a high school game in the Philippines.

Chamberlain scored 100 points in an NBA game, a record that still stands 50 years later.

Sizemore on 60-day DL CLEVELAND (AP) — The Indians have placed oft-injured center fielder Grady Sizemore on the 60day disabled list and finalized their roster for opening day.

Sizemore, who underwent back surgery last month, will not be eligible to come off the DL until June 3. He has been in Cleveland doing his rehab.

General manager Chris Antonetti said the threetime All-Star has been working on his stability and mobility and will resume baseball activities “in a couple weeks.”

Sizemore re-signed with the Indians as a free agent this winter. He injured his back while fielding ground balls early in spring training.

The Indians also purchased the contracts of infielder Jose Lopez and reliever Dan Wheeler from Triple-A Columbus. The club placed left-hander David Huff on the 15-day DL with a strained right hamstring and designated outfielder Thomas Neal for assignment.

Tribe, Cabrera reach deal CLEVELAND (AP) — On the eve of a new season, the Cleveland Indians locked up one of their best players for a few more.

The team and Asdrubal Cabrera finalized a threeyear contract on Wednesday, a deal that adds two additional seasons at $16.5 million for the All-Star shortstop. Cabrera will make $4.55 million this season, $6.5 million in 2013 and $10 million in 2014.

The agreement was announced one day before the Indians’ 2012 season opener at home against the Toronto Blue Jays.

Cabrera, who would have been eligible for free agency after next season, said Wednesday that he would like to play in Cleveland as long as possible.

“This is the team I want to be on my whole career,” Cabrera said.

Meyer’s reaction mixed to first Buckeyes workouts COLUMBUS (AP) — Five practices into his tenure at Ohio State, c o a c h U r b a n Meyer is both impressed with some things he’s seen and Meyer also realizes the Buckeyes have a long way to go.

“You have such high expectations,” he said after the defense won an in-practice scrimmage on Wednesday, before adding, “It’s not fair to the players to say that.”

Ohio State is coming off a 6-7 season which ended with a four-game losing skid. Still, the Buckeyes return nine starters on defense and seven on offense.

After the Buckeyes’ first practice last Wednesday, Meyer had pinpointed the two biggest areas of concern this spring.

“I think (it) is installation of the offense, then identifying the playmakers, in that order,” he said. “We are in a sprint for that. We are in a journey for the

long as we keep doing that, it means there’s still the bar is being raised.”

There are bright spots, such as the inspired spring play of defensive lineman John Simon and quarterback Braxton Miller.

He said he’s learned one big thing about his players in the opening week.

“They’re really good people,” he said. “I don’t see (many) defiant attitudes. They’re very eager, really good kids.”

During a fundraiser on Tuesday, he joked that the team would vote on captains but he would have veto power. Then he added that Simon — a high-intensity quarterback chaser and team leader — would be a captain.

Meyer is picking up the reins of a program that has just gone through a tumultuous year.

Jim Tressel stepped down in disgrace last May after admitting he had known that players had violated NCAA rules but he did nothing about it. He subsequently received an NCAA show-cause penalty, all but banning him from coaching for

the next five years.

After several player suspensions, defections and other embarrassments, the Buckeyes stumbled down the stretch before losing their final three regularseason games and then getting beat by Meyer’s former employer, Florida, in the Gator Bowl.

The Buckeyes have been banned from going to a bowl game after the 2012 season in addition to facing scholarship limitations and other sanctions.

Last year’s interim coach, Luke Fickell, is now back as a defensive coordinator.

Meyer brought in several new coaches and a new attitude to practice this spring.

Asked if ever looks out at the field and wonders if the Buckeyes’ situation is better or worse than he might have expected, Meyer said he has moments of each.

“There’s times where I’m, we all do, like, ‘That was pretty good,’” he said. “Then you take a look again and you say, ‘No, I see the issues.’

That happens during practice. I see both.”

Jared Sullinger came back for his sophomore season with a dramatically different team — missing three senior starters from a topranked team that finished 34-3 —and with a dramatically different body. He shed 25 pounds and was much more mobile. Rather than get all of his points with his back to the basket on the block, he frequently popped outside to shoot

over defenders. He became one of the Buckeyes’ top 3-point threats.

He battled through back spasms and a foot injury early in the year.

Sullinger was at his best down the stretch, scoring a huge basket in the closing seconds at Northwestern that kept the Buckeyes in the Big Ten title hunt. They then won at Michigan State in the final regular-sea-

CLEVELAND (AP) — Cleveland city officials say a case that stalled repairs at Cleveland Browns Stadium has been resolved, allowing the work to proceed.

The low bidder for the project was passed over for the work. A judge had ruled Suburban Maintenance and Construction had a good chance of proving its case.

Instead, the city said Wednesday two competing bidders have agreed to team up. The Browns lease the city-owned stadium and hoped to avoid potentially costly delays.

other stuff. The immediacy is installation of the offense and identifying a guy who can take the ball and do something with it.”

A week later, those two goals remain unmet.

“I just wish we would make more plays,” he said. Almost pleadingly, he added, “Some guys just make some plays.”

Asked if the offense was making progress learning the hurry-up attack he helped popularize at Utah and Florida, it is clear that that is not the case.

“We’re not where we need to be. But I’m not upset. I just wish we would grasp it a little faster,” he said. “There’s not one position. It’s like offensive football, anytime you install, anytime you do something new, nine guys do it right and two guys do it wrong and it just looks like the most disgusting thing you’ll ever see. So we’ve just got to get a little more consistent.”

Meyer said that the problems need to be resolved slowly but surely.

“We’re a lot better today than we were yesterday,” he said. “So as

Council considers plate fee

BY KATHY LEESE ANNA — Anna Village Council discussed the possibility of adding a fee to license plate purchases during its recent meeting and heard about a number of grants the village has received.

Village Administrator Nancy Benroth told council members about her research to see if council can add a fee to license plate purchases for village residents. The state of Ohio has a set fee when individuals renew their license plates. The municipality and the county can add an additional fee in $5 increments to that fee.

Benroth reported the additional fee would go to the village’s street fund. At $5 per plate, the village would receive $8,525 in additional revenue. The fee would be in effect beginning Jan. 1, 2013, if it is passed by July 1 of this year. Council will discuss the fee further at a later meeting.

Benroth told council members that the village received several grants.

Three of the grants were from the Anna Endowment Fund. One of the grants was for $600 to help with the expense of activities at Anna Community Park this summer, another was used for the purchase of tree rings for trees on Main Street and another was for $3,100 to pay for repairs and the re-sealing of the walking path.

The village also received a grant for $5,000 for exercise equipment at Anna Community Park. A donation was received from also Kathie Eshleman and her brother, Randy Wentz, for a park bench in honor of their parents.

Benroth told council members that liquor licenses in the village expire on June 1. Any

objections to issuing licenses must be filed with the Division of Liquor Control by May 2.

Benroth noted that Crale Builders has been working on renovating the restrooms at Anna Community Park and she said the village is looking at funding to complete work on County Road 25A north through Anna.

Benroth reported that Tyler Shuster, a village employee, has offered to mow grass for noncompliant residents. He would be hired on a noncontractual basis at $85 per lawn. A charge of $125 would be added to the resident’s taxes.

Council member Kathie Eshleman suggested it might be more cost-effective if the village pays overtime rather than paying Shuster on a contract basis. Council also discussed hiring an extra person for regular mowing over the summer.

Council agreed that someone should be hired on an as-needed basis at minimum wage.

Mayor Robert Anderson told council members that the village received a letter from the Shelby County Regional Planning Comregarding mission Community Development Block Grant (CBDG) formula applications. The application deadline is May 11.

Anderson noted that the village received a letter from the Ohio Public

Works Commission granting approval for financial assistance for the North Street reconstruction project Phase II. The assistance is for $225,170. The village will only have to pay back 11 percent of that amount.

Anderson told council members about the parade held to welcome the Anna Rockets girls nasketball team back it won the regional championship. The parade was approved by the Shelby County Sheriff ’s Office and led by the Anna Fire Department.

Council member Jenni Shoffner reported the Finance and Personnel Committee discussed the purchase of a new police cruiser. Several members of the committee thought the Ford Explorer owned by the village police would be traded in, but it was decided that the cruiser would be traded in instead.

According to Anna Police Chief Scott Evans, he felt the Ford Explorer would be a better backup vehicle than the cruiser, which has 141,000 miles.

The Explorer is four years old and has 43,000 miles on it. The Explorer would also not bring as much in trade-in. The committee decided to see what it would cost to refurbish the cruiser before deciding to buy a new cruiser.

Shoffner also reported that Benroth has drafted a proposal for pay increases for hourly employees and it was

presented to the Finance and Personnel Committee. The committee agreed that the employees deserve a raise, but the timing for a raise is not good. The committee will evaluate the situation again in July.

Council member Gary Strasser told council members there are shingles off both shelter houses at the park. He also announced plans for Anna Community Park over the summer that include a jazz band on May 12; dance classes and recital, June 11-15; swing band, July 7; Birthday Bash featuring Spittin Image on Aug. 4; a movie on Sept. 1; and Scarecrows in the Park in October.

Council members were asked to donate to the Anna Homecoming by the Anna Civic Association. Council was asked to donate $30 for the event. Council approved the donation.

Council approved the third reading of the following ordinances: • Amending previous water ordinances pertaining to rules and regfor utility ulations billing. The ordinance is still tabled.

• Accepting and adopting a police department policy and procedure manual.

• Authorizing an increase in water and sewer rates. The effective date of the new rates will be changed to May 10.

• Making the intersection of Cherry Lane Drive and Apple Avenue a three-way stop.

Hood to headline foundation banquet ANNA — The annual Anna Education Foundation Banquet will be held at the Shelby Oaks golf course in the Oaks Room on the evening of April 19. Social hour will start at 6 p.m. and the festivities will begin at 6:30.

Each year the foundation honors outstanding Anna alumni. This year the group will honor Warren Loy and Amy Moeller Scheeringa.

The featured speaker for the evening is Ralph Hood. After Hood appeared on her show, Oprah Winfrey said, “Ralph, you are a funny man!” He has entertained, taught and inspired audiences from Hawaii to Spain and from Fairbanks to San Juan, banquet organizers said.

Hood is a professional speaker, writer, humorist, teacher, commercial pilot, award-winning salesman and motivator.

The son of a school superintendent and a college English teacher, he is an award-winning newspaper columnist who taught aviation management for Southern Illinois University.

He is also a member of the Alabama Aviation Hall of Fame, though he currently lives in east Tennessee on the edge of the Great Smoky Mountains.

Educators respect his record of successful teaching at the college level. Writers respect his columns in four different

publications and three books, and business people respect the fact that he taught and writes about business.

Groups from America’s top corporations and associations have laughed with and learned from Hood’s approach to life. He compares flying an airplane “on top” of the weather to living and working “on top” of life’s problems.

During the banquet, winners of the following scholarships will be announced: the Don Bensman Memorial, the Marvin Staley Memorial, the Jason Banks Memorial, the Carl and Dolores Bartenstein Methe Dorthy morial, Kohlmeyer Memorial, Tri Community Club, the Elsass Memorial, the Lloyd and Bertha Harshbarger Memorial, the Julie Ritchey Performing Arts, the Anna Education General Scholarships, the Elizabeth Ehemann Memorial Scholarship and the Robert Ehemann Memorial Scholarship.

The Anna Education Foundation is a nonprofit organization whose sole purpose is to provide financial assistance for enhanced educational and/or career opportunities to residents, employees and current and former students of the Anna Local School District.

Good Friday Good Friday — the day when Jesus died.

Again a close examination of the Bible reveals much of what Jesus is all about. There is the silence before Pilate when he could have defended himself. There is the walk to Golgatha where he stops to speak to the women mourning.

Absent is bitterness and revenge. Only forgiveness, grace and hope endure.

Sidney Daily News,Thursday, April 5, 2012

Easter service set at arena TIPP CITY — When a local church books a 13,000-seat arena for its Easter service, you have to wonder what’s going on.

For Ginghamsburg Church, located in Tipp City, Easter has always been a big celebration. The church had traditionally offered nine worship services at two locations and had 6,847 in attendance for Easter 2011, but outgrowing its space is not the reason for its move to University of Dayton Arena on Sunday at 10 a.m.

The move to U.D. Arena is part of Ginghamsburg’s expanding vision for Dayton. Since 2008, when Ginghamsburg Church expanded its worship community to Fort McKinley, it has forged partnerships with city, county and local

agencies in a cooperative redevelopment of Fort McKinley. Through a grant written and secured from this cooperative group, 25 energyefficient, single-family homes will be built for families within the Fort McKinley neighborhood. Ground will be broken on the first home next month. Fort McKinley is undergoing a collaborative redevelopment process being funded with assistance from Montgomery County and Harrison Township.

In 2012, Ginghamsburg is expanding its partnerships in Dayton to launch a third worship community in Trotwood. Again, by partnering with city and local agencies, Ginghamsburg is working with Trotwood to determine how they can best grow together.

As part of the Ginghamsburg Church community vision for Dayton, Pastor Mike Slaughter believes Easter at U.D. Arena will give the greater Dayton community an opportunity to worship together.

Ginghamsburg Church is raising an “Easter at UD Arena” budget of $60,000 to pay for guest services, children’s programming, media/worship technology and publicity for the event through billboards, television, radio and newspaper. Executive Director of Ginghamsburg Business Operations Nate Gibson said none of the funds for the Easter celebration were in the church budget.

More than 500 church family members have volunteered to serve at U.D. Arena on Easter Sunday.

Retirement fund receives $825,000 CINCINNATI — Members of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati contributed $825,000 to the Retirement Fund for Religious during the annual appeal last December. The money has been sent to the National Religious Retirement Office, which operates the fund.

“This collection’s great success is overwhelming,” said Sister of Notre Dame de Namur Marilyn Kerber, director of the Office of Religious for the Arch-

diocese of Cincinnati. “The care so many people of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati have for women and men religious is tangible in many ways, this collection being one of those ways.

We, the women and men religious, who benefit are deeply grateful. As the Retirement Fund for Religious coordinator, I extend a special thank you to the pastors of the archdiocese who are so supportive of this collection each December.”

The Retirement Fund for Religious is in its 24th year. Since the first appeal in 1988, the fund has been the most successful fundraising appeal in the history of the Catholic Church in the United States, raising $643 million. Most of the money goes to direct-care assistance, providing for the immediate care of elder religious and helping religious institutes bolster their retirement savings.

Close to 1,000 women and men religious from 50 congregations (39 congregations of women reliand 11 gious congregations of men religious) gift the Archdiocese of Cincinnati with presence, prayer and ministry.

It is estimated that women religious alone have influenced the lives of more than 2 million people in this region through their ministries in education, health care and parish work.

Historic organ to be recognized at recital CARTHAGENA — The Holtkamp organ in Assumption Chapel at St. Charles Senior Living Community, 2860 U.S. 127, has been awarded a citation certificate by the Organ Historical Society.

According to the OHS Historic Organs Citation Program, the award is given “to recognize pipe organs which have been deemed to be of historical value as worthy of preservation.”

In order to qualify for the award, the instrument must first be nominated and then pass through a process outlined in the OHS Checklist of Desired Materials.

The instrument in Assumption Chapel is the work of renowned organ builder and designer Walter Holtkamp, who founded the Holtkamp Organ Co., based in Cleveland. Holtkamp was revered not only for acoustical perfection, but also for his highly admired architectural display. Save for minor repairs, the 1961 instrument remains in its original construction and design: 29 ranks; three manual and pedal divisions; and electro-pneumatic registration.

The citation certificate will be presented at a recital in Assumption Chapel performed by OHS Historic Organs Citation Committee Chairman Dr. Stephen Schnurr on April 17 at 7 p.m.

In addition to his work with the OHS, Schnurr is director of music and organist at St. Paul Catholic Church, Valparaiso, Ind. He has led choir tours throughout Europe, Poland and the Czech Republic, and has given recitals in England, Germany, Poland and Northern Ireland and numerous performances in the United States at national conventions of the OHS and the National Association of Pastoral Musicians.

The program will include works by Buxtehude, Bach, Horatio Parker and Charles-Marie Widor. A free-will offering will be requested.

For information about the recital and the St. Charles Senior Living Community, call Sister Martha Bertke, manager, at (419) 925-4516, ext. 112, or email smbertke@bright.net.
