140 sex offenders now registered in Shelby County Ohio’s sex offender registration laws changed Jan. 1, 2008. Ohio became one of the first states in the nation to adopt the provisions of the Adam Walsh Act (AWA). The AWA was passed and signed into federal law in 2006. It required states to implement the provisions and guidelines of the AWA or risk losing federal block grant money. The intent of the AWA is to provide a universal method of determining sex offender classifications and the requirements of those classifications in all states nationwide.

The AWA replaces previous sex offender classification designations under Megan’s Law — such as sexual predator, habitual sexual offender or sexually oriented offender — with tier classification designations. The tier classification designations for sex offenders are determined by the criminal offense or offenses of which the offender was convicted. Unlike the previous designations under

Megan’s Law, the classifications are based solely on the offense and do not take into consideration the offender’s likelihood to reoffend. The AWA was retroactive and included the reclassification of all sex offenders previously convicted, as well as determining the classification of all sex offenders convicted in the future. In June 2010, the Ohio Supreme Court issued a ruling

in the State v. Bodyke case regarding sex offender registration requirements. This case dealt with the requirement passed as part of the AWA in Ohio requiring the Ohio Attorney General to reclassify any offenders with a prior judicial classification under Megan’s law (sexual predator, habitual sex offender and sexually oriented offenders) to the new AWA classifications (Tier 1, 2 or 3). The court removed sections 2950.031 and 2950.032 of the See OFFENDERS/Page 17

Theater gets ‘mini’ facelift BY MELANIE SPEICHER mspeicher@sdnccg.com While plans are still being constructed for a campaign to restore the Historic Sidney Theatre, the Raise the Roof on the Arts Board of Directors is making sure the exterior of the building is ready to shine like it did when it first opened in 1921. “This is a solid building,” said Mardie Milligan, Raise the Roof on the Arts president. “We need to continue to maintain the building. This is the first significant exterior work that has been done on the building in years. We’re doing it with the guidance of Freytag & Associates.” The project, which is estimated at $50,000, is being paid for with donations, said Milligan. The area being worked on is the upper fly exterior loft wall. An exterior insulation finishing system is being used to repair the wall. “We are putting a covering over the existing wall,” said Dan Freytag, of Freytag & Associates. “We are putting up a weather proof barrier for the outside.” Concerns about the area rose last year during the snow and ice storms which hit Shelby County. “We saw more water getting into the brick and freeze and thaw,” said Freytag. “That See THEATER/Page 11

COUNTY

RECORD

Ohio’s Secretary of State Jon Husted made a stop in Shelby County on Wednesday to speak at the annual Lincoln Day dinner. The event was held at the Palazzo, 309 S. Main St., Botkins. Before the dinner Husted spoke about his office. “We’ve gotten through the primary election and now we’re preparing for the November general election,” said Husted. “For the first time ever, all registered voters in the state will receive unsolicited absentee ballot requests.” Sending out ballot requests is something that many counties have done in the past, but this year the Secretary of State’s Office will be using federal money from Help America Vote to provide the opportunity for residents to receive an absentee ballot request in their home. “It will cost somewhere around $3 million,” said Husted. “The money was sent to the states to improve federal elections and this can help many different voters.” Husted also said the request forms will be sent in late August or early September. The Secretary of State is also constantly working on updating the voter rolls. According to Husted, there are approximately 24 million active voter registrations in the United States which are no longer laid or are inaccurate. There are also 1.8 million deceased individuals in the U.S. who are listed as active voters. The office works to purge the records “Once every three months we purge the voter rolls based on information from the Ohio Department of Health Vital Statistics,” said Husted. “A person still needs to be inactive for two federal elections though before we’re allowed to purge.” Purging the voter rolls is necessary. There are two counties in the state, Morrow and Wood, where the number of registered voters is higher than the number of residents who are 18 and over. Husted attributed some of the discrepancy to people who may move within a county and register to vote from a new address and not tell the Board of Elections about the move. “It’s important to keep the rolls up to date,” said Husted. Part of the changes the Secretary of

State’s Office has made deals with making the move to electronic records which Husted believes will help keep the election process run more smoothly. We want it to run smoothly so it’s easy to vote but also maintain election security,” said Husted. “My job is to make sure in 2012 that we are like a good umpire at a baseball game. We want to call the balls and strikes but not interfere with the outcome of the game.” Another issue facing the Secretary of State’s Office is the repeal of House Bill 194. The bill proposed a number of changes to Ohio’s election laws, including eliminating the “golden week” during which people can register to vote and cast ballots on the same day and prohibiting election boards from sending unsolicited absentee ballot applications to eligible voters. “It wasn’t an overly controversial bill,” said Husted. “If it isn’t repealed it could be placed on the ballot in November and if it’s repealed we can go back and rework some things.” The bill was repealed by the Senate but is still waiting for the House of Representatives. Since being elected in 2010, Husted has made changes in the office of the Secretary of State. The office made a top to bottom review and according to Husted, they eliminated many hundreds of thousands of dollars in cuts. The office has reduced spending by utilizing technology more frequently. “As keeper of a lot of books, there was legislation which required that we publish books every year,” said Husted. “We persuaded the legislature to change the law to allow us to publish electronically which has also saved us hundreds of thousands of dollars.” Husted was elected in 2010 and serves as Ohio’s 53rd Secretary of State. He was first elected to the legislature in 2000. He served as Speaker of the Ohio House from 2005 to 2008. As speaker, Husted was instrumental in passing the most fiscally conservative budget in 40 years that included an overhaul of the state tax code and the largest income tax cut in Ohio’s history. In 2008, Husted was elected to continue his legislative work as a member of the Ohio Senate where he was a leading advocate for election, campaign finance and redistricting reform.

Man accidentally shoots himself On Wednesday evening Sidney police were alerted to a report of an accidental shooting on Arrowhead Drive. The incident was reported at 8:32 p.m. by Wilson Memorial Hospital. According to the po-

lice report Jimmy Howard, 67, 821 Arrowhead Drive, Apt. H, had a gu shot wound to the stomach. Police were able to recover a .40-caliber Glock. The shooting is listed as accidental and Howard’s condition is not known.

TRANSFER CASES containing the remains of Army Spc. Jeffrey L. White Jr., left case, and Army Staff Sgt. Christopher L. Brown, right case, sit on a loader as military officials, including Deputy Defense Secretary Ashton Carter, right, bow their heads Thursday, April 5, 2012 at Dover Air Force Base, Del. According to the Department of Defense, White, of Catawissa, Mo., died while supporting Operation Enduring Freedom and Brown, 26, of Columbus, died April 3, 2012 in Kunar province, Afghanistan of wounds sustained when he was attacked with an improvised explosive device.

Three Ohio soldiers killed in Afghanistan COLUMBUS (AP) — Three U.S. soldiers killed in a suicide attack this week in Afghanistan were from Ohio, as were several others seriously wounded in the bombing, the Ohio National Guard said Thursday. The soldiers killed in the attack Wednesday in Maimanah, the capital of Faryab province, were from the Guard’s 37th Infantry Brigade Combat Team, according to the Ohio Adjutant General’s Department. The brigade is based in Columbus but includes soldiers from across Ohio, the Guard said. Among the victims was Sgt. 1st Class Shawn Hannon, 44, who also worked as chief legal counsel for the Ohio Department of Veterans Services. “Shawn felt it was a privilege to serve his country and did so honorably for almost 20 years. He was proud to be a soldier and all who loved him knew it,” his family said in a statement released to media. Survivors include wife and their 9-month-old son. Hannon joined the state veterans agency last year after working for a Columbus law firm.

“He was one of the most well respected guys I ever met,” said Steve Palmer, a lawyer who worked with Hannon. “If somebody in the world needed help, he’d be there. He believed in what he was doing over there.” The attack, by a suicide bomber on a motorcycle, killed at least 13 people Wednesday at a park in a relatively peaceful area of northern Afghanistan. It was part of an increase in violence at the start of the spring fighting season. Taliban has The claimed responsibility. The bomber’s target was unclear. The attacks appear to be part of an increase in violence. The Taliban 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. This week, gunmen also attacked an outpost of a government-sponsored militia and killed 10 members of the security force, and another suicide bomber killed two people and wounded 16 others Thursday. The Ohio infantry brigade has six battal-

ions, with four based in Ohio and two in Michigan. It sent 3,600 soldiers to Afghanistan last summer for what was scheduled to be a year-long deployment. It was the largest mobilization for the 37th since the Korean War, according to the Ohio National Guard. The soldiers were sent to help with counter-insurgency operations and work with Afghan security forces. In 2005, Lima Company, a Columbus-based Marine reserve unit, lost 22 Marines and a Navy Corpsman in Iraq, including nine in one bombing. Fifteen of the 23 were from Ohio. The names of the other dead soldiers had not been released; the Guard said it was still notifying family members. Another Ohio soldier was killed this week by a roadside bomb in Afghanistan. Staff Sgt. Christopher Brown, 26, of Columbus, died Tuesday, the Department of Defense said Thursday. Brown was serving his second tour of duty in Afghanistan, after spending nearly year in Iraq.

MECHANICSBURG (AP) — A man accused of stabbing his on-again, offagain girlfriend, suffocating her and dismembering her body told a newspaper that she begged him to kill her after he confronted her about text messages she’d sent saying she wanted him dead. In the jailhouse interview with the Dayton Daily News, a choked-up Matthew Puccio also said Jessica Sacco told him she still loves him, said she’s sorry and asked for a last kiss before allowing him to suffocate her in the duplex apartment they shared in Urbana, in western Ohio. He told the newspaper he plans to plead guilty and deserves the death penalty. Remains of Sacco, 21, were found in their bathtub on March 30, eight days after authorities believe she died. Puccio is charged in Champaign County court with murder and other crimes. Four other people, including a couple from Fenton, Mich., who were staying at the apartment, are accused of helping him cover up the killing. Police have said parts of her body were found in southwest Ohio and northern Kentucky, about 70 to 85 miles away. In a portion of the interview aired on WHIO-TV, Puccio paused often to compose himself as he described an ordeal that started about three days after a mutual friend sent him text messages in which Sacco asks for one good reason why he should live and why she should stay with him. “It went on to say how she was going to invite one of her friends over to cut my heart out of my chest and leave me for dead,” he said, wearing orange-and white striped jailhouse garb, his hands cuffed, at the TriCounty Regional Jail in Mechanicsburg. He said she “started freaking out” and eventually stabbed herself with a folding pocket knife. “She was pleading with me to slash her throat, slash her wrists, do something, and I told her, ‘No I can’t do that to you.’ And she told me to stab her then, so I just held my hand above her stomach, she grabbed my wrist and pulled it into her stomach, and I pulled out the knife and wrapped her stomach and tried to stop the bleeding as much as I could,” he said. The couple living next to Sacco and Puccio in the duplex isn’t buying his explanation.

IN THIS video frame-grab provided by WHIO-TV shows Matthew Puccio walking Wednesday at the Tri-County jail in Mechanicsburg, Ohio. Puccio, accused of stabbing his on-again, offagain girlfriend, suffocating her and dismembering her body tells the Dayton Daily News she begged him to kill her after he confronted her about text messages she’d sent saying she wanted him dead. Aaron Gall, 25, told The Associated Press that he believes Puccio is “just trying to get people to feel sorry for him,” and that Sacco wouldn’t have wanted to die. “She loved life. She was so vibrant before he started living there,” he said. “She went from being this vibrant girl, to basically angry all the time and highly upset. It’s like the devil moved in with her and pulled out all the lights.” Gall said he and his fiance, Kristin Shultz, 22, also discount a theory they saw in a television report that Puccio acted in self-defense after finding out Sacco wanted him dead. “We looked at each other and said: ‘He’s lying. He’s lying through his teeth,’” Gall said. He called Puccio “rude and offputting” and said he argued with Sacco almost daily after Christmas. He never heard it turn physical. “The walls were paper thin,” he said. “We heard verbal arguments on the other side of the wall all the time.”

Bennett could replace DeWine COLUMBUS (AP) — One of the most successful and longest-serving Republican Party chairmen in Ohio could return to the job, now that the current state chairman has announced he’s stepping down next week amid bitter party infighting with Republican Gov. John Kasich. Bob Bennett has indicated a willingness to take over for Ohio Republican Party chairman Kevin DeWine, said Doug Preisse, a Kasich ally and chairman of the Franklin County Republican Party. Bennett told The Associated Press on Thursday that he is grateful for the support among GOP members, and he hopes to arrive at a final decision in the next day or so. He declined to comment further. DeWine announced in a Wednesday night letter to the party’s governing body that he’ll step aside at the committee’s meeting on April 13. He said he plans to preside over the election of his successor by the 66 members at the meeting. The GOP leader’s decision comes as Kasich’s allies had recruited a slate of challengers to the party’s state central committee, who they had be-

lieved would support DeWine’s ouster. DeWine, chairman since 2009, had said in a March 18 letter to committee members that he would not seek another term as chairman when his ends in January. Kasich allies had said that didn’t go far enough, and Republican leaders in seven of Ohio’s largest counties had sent a letter to DeWine asking him to resign. DeWine on Wednesday night said he wanted to avoid a divisive vote next week over party leadership. “Factions within our party are aligned to fight over who is best to lead us forward,” DeWine wrote. “A meeting looms where that fight could erupt into a party-splitting dispute that no one will win and everyone will lament.” DeWine was unanimously elected by the state central committee to a second term in 2011. He oversaw the GOP’s resurgence in the state in the 2010 elections, when Republicans swept Ohio Democrats out of four statewide offices — including the governor’s — and grabbed control of the Legislature. Among those winners

was Secretary of State Jon Husted, Ohio’s top elections official, who on Thursday came to DeWine’s defense. “I told Kevin (that) he’s the only chairman that’s going to resign undefeated,” Husted told reporters after a state Ballot Board meeting. Asked whether DeWine’s resignation puts an end to the strains within the party, Husted said, “I was focused on supporting my friend Kevin DeWine and I’m focused on being secretary of state. We’ll leave the future of the Republican Party to those who are interested, were interested, in taking it over.” DeWine and other Republicans, including Bennett, had expressed concerns the infighting could jeopardize the party’s efforts to deliver the swing state this fall to the Republican challenger to President Barack Obama. No Republican has ever won the White House without winning Ohio. DeWine will remain on the state central committee, and plans to continue raising money for the GOP as a member of the national party’s finance committee.

Waitress gets tip Minn. MOORHEAD, (AP) — Authorities have decided to return a $12,000 tip to a Minnesota waitress that police believed was drug money. Stacy Knutson of Moorhead says a customer told her she could keep a takeout container she left behind at the Fryn’ Pan restaurant. The box turned out to contain $12,000 in bills in various denominations. Police initially told her she could keep the money if no one claimed it, but later said it was part of a drug investigation. On Thursday, after the case drew national attenAssistant Clay tion, County Attorney Michelle Lawson told reporters the money could not be tied to a criminal investigation, and that Knutson would get a check. Knutson says she believed the money was an anonymous gift from someone who knew her family had severe financial difficulties.

The road to the White House Obama setting up Supreme New world for Romney, the Court as a campaign issue all-but-certain nominee WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama is laying groundwork to make the majority-conservative Supreme Court a campaign issue this fall, taking a political page from Republicans who have long railed against liberal judges who don’t vote their way. The emerging Democratic strategy to paint the court as extreme was little noted in this week’s hubbub over Obama’s assertion that overturning his health care law would be “unprecedented.” His statement Monday wasn’t completely accurate, and the White House backtracked. But Obama was making a political case, not a legal one, and he appears ready to keep making it if the high court’s fivemember majority strikes down or cuts the heart out of his signature policy initiative. The court also is likely to consider several other issues

OUT OF THE BLUE

Dog eats Masters tickets SEATTLE (AP) - Russ Berkman's dream came true when he won a lottery for four passes to Wednesday's practice round at the Masters golf tournament in Georgia. But the Seattlearea resident's stomach turned when he found his dog, Sierra, had eaten them. Berkman told KJR radio on Tuesday he was determined to go. His girlfriend told him he had to make Sierra puke. He induced vomiting and recovered a gooey glob. Then he went to work trying to put about 20 vomitcovered pieces back together. He says he recovered about 70 percent of the tickets. He took photos and explained the situation to the Augusta National Golf Club as "my dog ate my Masters tickets!" They reprinted Berkman's tickets and had them waiting for him in Georgia.

before the November election that could stir Obama’s core Democratic supporters and draw crucial independent voters as well. Among those are immigration, voting rights and a revisit of a campaign finance ruling that Obama has already criticized as an outrage. “We haven’t seen the end of this,” said longtime Supreme Court practitioner Tom Goldstein, who teaches at Stanford and Harvard universities. “The administration seems to be positioning itself to be able to run against the Supreme Court if it needs to or wants to.” While Obama has predicted victory in the health care case now before the court, his administration could blame overreach by Republican-appointed justices if the law is rejected, said Goldstein, who wrote a brief supporting the law’s constitutionality.

TUNKHANNOCK, Pa. (AP) — Mitt Romney is sharpening his focus on President Barack Obama and broadening his pitch to independents and Democrats. He has more security around him, his campaign team is growing and his crowds appear more excited to see him. It’s a different world for Romney now that he’s the almost-certain Republican presidential nominee. The transition from the primary season is well under way for Romney and his team as the former Massachusetts governor campaigns this week across Pennsylvania, which is sure to be a general election battleground state. “It isn’t about one person or about even one party,” Romney told a cheering crowd Thursday at his state headquarters in Harrisburg. Working to appeal not just to his party any more but to the country at large, he said, “We’re Republi-

cans and Democrats in this campaign, but we’re all connected with one destiny for America.” With a broad appeal like that, it’s easy to forget that the GOP primary season is still under way and that Romney still faces a Republican challenge — though a weak one — from former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum. Santorum badly trails Romney in delegates and is looking to revive his struggling candidacy on April 24 when this state’s Republicans weigh in on who should get the chance to challenge Obama this fall. Newt Gingrich and Ron Paul also have refused to abandon their bids despite huge losing streaks. Romney is more than halfway to the 1,144 delegates needed to clinch the party’s nomination, and he could reach that total by June if not earlier at his current pace.

Hope for Romania baby born with stunted intestines

Town sells for $900,000 BUFORD, Wyo. (AP) — Buford is a small place for sure, but so is the world. A remote, unincorporated area along busy Interstate 80 that advertised itself as the smallest town in the United States, Buford was sold at auction for $900,000 on Thursday to an unidentified man from Vietnam. It’s owner for the last 20 years, Don Sammons, served with the U.S. Army as a radio operator in 1968-69. After meeting the buyer, an emotional Sammons said it was hard for him to grasp the irony of the situation. “I think it’s funny how things come full circle,” he said. The buyer attended the auction in person but declined to meet with the media or to be identified. Sammons and others involved in the auction would not discuss the buyer’s plans for Buford. It will take about 30 days for all the paperwork to be completed before ownership of the place located almost equidistant between Cheyenne and Laramie in southeast Wyoming changes hands, Sammons said.

THIS MARCH 27 file photo shows Baby Andrei, eightmonth-old, the son of Roma under-age parents, in the arms of a nurse in the intensive care unit of the Marie Curie children’s hospital Bucharest, Romania.

BUCHAREST, Romania (AP) — Baby Andrei has confounded doctors just by being alive: The tiny boy with twigthin limbs was given just days to live when he was born with almost no intestines — eight months ago. Now there’s a glimmer of hope for another miracle. People in Europe and the United States have started offering funds to help Andrei get a complicated intestine transplant in the United States, the Romanian pediatrician in charge of the baby’s care said Thursday. The offers came after an Associated Press story last week chronicled how Dr. Catalin Cirstoveanu, head of the neonatal unit at Bucharest’s Marie Curie chil-

dren’s hospital, flies babies abroad for lifesaving surgery to get around a culture of corruption in which many doctors won’t operate unless they’re bribed. AP photographs of Andrei in his incubator generated sympathy around the world. “Offers of help have come in, particularly from abroad, from a non-governmental organization,” Cirstoveanu said. The cost of the surgery goes into the hundreds of thousands of dollars, way out of the reach of Andrei’s Gypsy parents, who live in a poor part of eastern Romania. Romania’s average monthly salary is 350 ($460). The bribery culture in Romanian hospitals is so in-

grained that nurses expect bribes just to change sheets. Surgeons can get hundreds of euros (dollars) and upward for an operation, while anesthetists get roughly a third of that. Cirstoveanu runs the cardio unit at Marie Curie. But its state-of-the-art machinery has lain idle because he has banned staff from taking bribes. So he flies sick babies to western Europe on budget flights so they can get treatment from doctors who won’t expect kickbacks. Andrei, who still weighs less than an average newborn, has just 10 centimeters (4 inches) of intestine, compared to about three meters (yards) for other babies his age. Like them, he has started

Doctors want to redefine autism; parents worried CHICAGO (AP) — One child doesn’t talk, rocks rhythmically back and forth and stares at clothes spinning in the dryer. Another has no trouble talking but is obsessed with trains, methodically naming every station in his state. Autistic kids like these hate change, but a big one is looming. For the first time in nearly two decades, experts want to rewrite the definition of autism. Some parents fear that if the definition is narrowed, their children may lose out on special therapies. For years, different autism-related labels have been used, the best known being Asperger’s disorder. The doctors working on the new definition want to eliminate separate terms like that one and lump them all into an “autism spectrum disorder” category. Some specialists contend the proposal will exclude as many as 40 percent of kids now considered autistic. Parents of mildly affected children worry their kids will be left out and lose access to academic and behavioral services — and any chance of a normal life. But doctors on the American

Psychiatric Association panel that has proposed the changes say none of that would happen. They maintain the revision is needed to dump confusing labels and clarify that autism can involve a range of symptoms from mild to severe. They say it will be easier to diagnose kids and ensure that those with true autism receive the same diagnosis. With new government data last week suggesting more kids than ever in the U.S. — 1 in 88 — have autism, the new definition may help clarify whether the rising numbers reflect a true increase in autism or overdiagnosis by doctors. There is no definitive test for autism. The diagnosis that has been used for at least 18 years covers children who once were called mentally retarded, as well as some who might have merely been considered quirky or odd. Today, some children diagnosed with autism may no longer fit the definition when they mature. “We’re wanting to use this opportunity to get this diagnosis right,” said Dr. Bryan King, a member of the revision panel and director of the autism center at Seattle Children’s Hospital.

Coast Guard fires on Japanese ghost ship OVER THE GULF OF ALASKA (AP) — The U.S. Coast Guard unleashed cannon fire Thursday at a Japanese vessel set adrift by last year’s tsunami, stopping the ship’s long, lonely voyage across the Pacific Ocean. A Coast Guard cutter fired on the abandoned 164-foot Ryou-Un Maru in the waters of the Gulf of Alaska and more than 150 miles from land,

spokesman Paul Webb said. Soon after the 25 mm cannon fire started, the ship burst into flames, began to take on water and list, Chief Petty Officer Kip Wadlow said. A huge spiral of smoke could be seen over the gulf. About two hours later, the vessel hadn’t sunk and the cutter resumed shelling, Lt. Veronica Colbath said. This time, the Coast Guard used 50

mm shells. The vessel poses a significant hazard and the Coast Guard has been warning mariners to stay away, Wadlow said. Aviation authorities are also advising pilots to steer clear of the area. Officials decided to sink the ship rather than risk the chance of it running aground or endangering other vessels. The ship has no lights or communi-

cations system and has a tank that could carry more than 2,000 gallons of diesel fuel. They don’t know how much fuel, if any, is aboard. “It’s less risky than it would be running into shore or running into (maritime) traffic,” Webb said. The ship had been destined for scrapping when the Japan earthquake struck, so there is no cargo on board, according to Webb.

Kasich: Pause for a child

COLUMBUS — Governor John Kasich has declared April 2012 Ohio Child Abuse and Neglect Prevention Month, urging Ohioans to make a difference in protecting children. In observance, the Ohio Children’s Trust Fund encourages all individuals and organizations to “Pause for a Child” and take an active role in making their communities a better place for families and children. “April is a time to celebrate the important role that communities play in protecting children,” said Sen. Kevin

Bacon (RMinerva Park), who serves as chairman of the Ohio Children’s Trust Fund. “Everyone’s participation is critical. This month, I encourage all Ohioans to find a way to make a difference in the lives of the children around them and help stop child abuse and throughout neglect Ohio.” The Ohio Children’s Trust Fund asks people to help make a difference in the lives children. Whether it is volunteering time for programs that support children, supporting child advocacy groups, or advocating for other efforts designed to protect children in Ohio and across the country, everyone can take a lead in making a difference.

Joe grilled tbone steaks and we also had mashed potatoes, gravy, tea, macaroni and cheese, carrot sticks and ranch dip, sliced cheese, white cake, rhubarb coffeecake, cherry delight and peaches. Lovina mixed the white cake so she was proud to see it all eaten up. I will share the recipe for the white cake.

Price group talks acid/alakaline The Shelby County Chapter of the Weston A. Price Foundation heard from Dr. Wayne Feister, D.O., on the acid/alkaline theory, and from Dave Hemmert and Jerry Dicus on minerals at its March meeting. Feister addressed the notion that people should avoid animal foods and eat vegetables. “The belief is that meat causes cancer,” Feister told the group. “However, it is processed meats — lunch meat, etc. — that cause the problem, not prime rib, or any grass-fed meat. “The idea of the acid/alkaline theory is, if you eat too many acidic foods you get cancer, and if you eat more alkaline foods you will be healthy,” he added. The theory derives from the fact that when entirely burned, foods leave an ash or residue that is either acidic, alkaline or neutral. “The notion that we need to eat predominately alkaline foods crops up repeatedly, usually to justify the endorsement of a vegetarian diet or juice fasting,” Feister noted. “A person’s normal body pH of 7.4 is controlled by your breath (lungs) and kidneys,” he said. When people eat, acid pours into the stomach, and the body becomes more acidic. “If the intestinal track remains acidic, only the good bacteria can live there,” Feister said. Weston A. Price, a Cleveland dentist who directed the research division of the American Dental Association during the first half of the 1900s, studied acid/alkaline balance and concluded that it was the same in primitive people as it was in modern people. “The research of Price concluded that it isn’t whether food is acid or base, but the amount of minerals the food con-

tains, that determines how healthy the food is,” Feister said. Price had said that you should know your farmer, and plant your own garden. Organically produced food has more minerals, because the minerals have to be added to the soil to keep insects from eating the crop. Feister also suggested eating unprocessed salt such as Celtic, which has more than 70 minerals. He noted that all salt is sea salt, but that the choice should be unprocessed salt, or salt with color, to get salt with the minerals intact. Hemmert discussed the importance of having minerals in garden soils. Commercial NPK fertilizer has three minerals added. But by using ocean-grown substances such as kelp or unprocessed salt, 90 minerals are added, and insects do not attack the plants. Some companies he recommended are Ocean Solution, Sea Agra and Sea Minerals. He also recommended www.acresusa.com as a source of information. Hemmert suggested that people eat good quality food, and that they need to grow their own food. Dicus, owner of Earth Safe Ozone, spoke about using SEA-90, which is unprocessed salt containing 90 minerals and elements. He said SEA-90 can be used for livestock, crops, gardens and people. As a fertilizer for plants, he said to add one teaspoon SEA-90 to one gallon of water, and apply once a month. To learn more, attend a Weston A. Price Foundation meeting the second Tuesday of the odd months from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Sidney Fire Department Training room. The meetings are free, and open to the public.

Dimes for Dogs & Cats

Joe, you’re goin’ down! (To the courtsquare, that is) BY PATRICIA ANN SPEELMAN pspeelman@sdnccg.com Editor’s note: This is the first of a series of columns by Localife Editor Patricia Ann Speelman that will be published from time to time in the Daily News. Regular Sidney Daily News readers and fans of WMVR Hits 105.5 radio already know that the two businesses have sponsored a month-long campaign in support of the Shelby County Humane Society. Dimes for Dogs and Cats kicked off April 1 and area residents can find dog-house shaped banks in many businesses throughout the county. The banks are ready to collect loose change from donors. The business that collects the most money will win airplay on the radio, a photo in the newspaper and bragging rights. However, a gauntlet has been thrown down in another arena: Joe Laber, of Hits 105.5 and I have our own little challenge going. If the dog house at the radio station gets more donations than the one at the newspaper offices, then I have to put on the Daily News’ Daily the Dog costume and solicit more donations on the courtsquare in downtown Sidney during a busy lunchtime in May. If our dog house here at the newspaper gar-

ners more money, then Joe has to don the suit of the humane society’s mascot, Homer, and do the same. Well, Joe, I have to tell you, I’ve never seen a fight between a dog and a cat that a dog won. And there are lots of stray cats on the courtsquare. And Licorice has already sent invitations to his feline friends to join the fun. So you’d better beware, because it’s going

And to any of you readers and listeners out there who would like to see Joe in the Homer suit: just come on in to the newspaper office and drop your spare change into OUR dog house bank.

ahead. Because in the end, it’s the dogs and cats at the humane society awaiting adoption who will be the real winners. While Joe (or I, but I’m not willing to really say that out loud) pretends to be a dog on the courtsquare, perhaps the real dogs will be finding loving homes and families to love in return. And in the meantime, all the dimes will assure their good, good care until those homes are found.

gether to meet hospital objectives and assure that the mission of the hospital, to maintain a patient-center environment that encourages and supports innovation and teamwork, continues. “Growing up in Shelby County, working in Shelby County, and raising a family in Shelby County are all great reasons why I have a vested interest in this hospital. The uncertainty of the future of how healthcare is delivered and received remains unknown. It is critical that Wilson continues to maintain a strong position that will provide for adaptability as the delivery of healthcare services evolves,” he said. Bensman said he is proud of the hospital and looks forward to the years ahead by continuing to improve the health of the Shelby County communities

and putting the patients first. Tom Boecker, president and CEO of Wilson Memorial, expressed his appreciation to board members for their time and expertise during the past year. He expressed special thanks to Board Chairman Bensman for his help and support over the past year. Boecker then provided a re-cap of the hospital’s accomplishments for the past year. He highlighted service enhancements including the opening of the Botkins office, Urgent Care, and expansion of the Wilson Sports Medicine program to include nine Shelby County schools. Ongoing physician-recruitment efforts resulted in the addition of providers in several areas including orthopedics, OB/GYN, pediatrics, family practice, and urgent care.

It is a privilege to be your escorts and we treasure the friendships we have made. To see the memori-

This will be the last trip we make for World War II and Korean vets, so it will be especially poignant for us. We know there are many of you who have not made the trip, and we would encourage you to dust off that application, fill it out and

please get it in! If you like, we will be glad to pick it up and turn it in personally — just let us know! “We need you!” to get on the bus.

AND ENDS

Show more respect

LONDON (AP) — Troublesome tourists bombard British embassies with bizarre requests for help — seeking assistance booking restaurants, finding directions or making romantic advances toward locals, Foreign Secretary William Hague said Wednesday. Announcing plans to bolster the response by diplomats to emergencies in other countries, Hague disclosed details of the wild demands made to embassies by traveling Britons. A tourist in the United States called diplomats last year after he discovered ants in his Florida rental home, while a visitor to Spain requested help finding a suitable spot for Christmas lunch. “We are not the people to turn to if you can’t find your false teeth, if your sat nav is broken and you need directions ... if you are looking for a dogminder while you are on holiday,” Hague said, in a speech at Britain’s Foreign Office. He said a visitor to Greece had requested assistance erecting a chicken coop, while an anxious Briton urged consular staff in Italy to throw a coin into Rome’s famous Trevi Fountain on his behalf, after forgetting to do so during a holiday. According to tradition, tossing a coin into the waters guarantees a swift return to the Eternal City.

To the editor: Did not our founding fathers set up three branches of government — executive, legislative and judicial — to provide a checks and balance to our government? Yet recent comments by the president cause concern on my part. Regardless of where one stands on the health bill, recent comments by the president show a lack of understanding of theses different roles of government. The president “cautioned the court against overturning the law.” He then went on to “question how an ‘unelected group of people’ could overturn a law approved by Congress.” That is the work of the Supreme Court when such a case is presented to it, to determine whether that law is constitutional or unconstitutional. Regardless of how they rule, that is their job and a vital task it is. Furthermore, they are not just “a group of people,” they are nominated by the president and confirmed by the Congress. That is how our wise founding fathers intended all of this to work. Mr. President needs to show a little more respect for the process we have faired well under for more than 200 years.

Business active in community BY TERRY PELLMAN JACKSON CENTER — The village of Jackson Center has had to say goodbye to an institution. Phil’s Cardinal Market, the only major food market in the community, has closed. Owner Phil Cummons had been in the grocery business for decades. Shoppers wishing to visit a typical full-service grocery must now travel to surrounding communities such as Anna, Botkins, Sidney or Lakeview. Until and unless someone purchases the site to establish a grocery, the community has only a convenience store located at the Marathon gas station at 404 W. Pike St. as a place to purchase staples. One can pick up bread, milk, soda and snack foods, in addition to some prepared items. The manager there said business has increased since the closing of Phil’s, although adjustments in deliveries have prevented any ongoing shortages. Village Administrator Bruce Metz explained the closing poses some concerns, although the village is in action to ex-

Holy Angels team wins Mother Nature orienteering championship decides sex In an 18-week, 15event competition that took place throughout Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky, Holy Angels School won the Tri-State Regional Orienteering League (TROL) ChampiElementary onships School Division. Led by Ella Egan, Ryan Gibson, Sophie Ratermann, Liann Trahey and John Van Skiver, the small thirdgrade class persevered and outlasted numerous larger classes and elementary schools throughout the tri-state region to claim the title. In addition to winning the TROL Elementary School Division, during the last weekend in March, four of the Holy Angels students participated as a team and won, in the Middle School Division, the Miami Valley Orienteering Championships. What is orienteering? Imagine yourself being dropped into an unknown wilderness. You are armed only with a highly detailed map of the terrain — one that you have never seen before. Instead of traveling through the wilderness like Daniel Boone, orienteers are involved in a competitive form of land navigation. The object of orienteering is to locate a series of points shown on the map. The map can be of a park, a scout camp or a school campus. In an orienteering

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 Saturday, April 7, 2012 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Today you might feel unusually agitated when talking to others, especially siblings and neighbors. It feels like others don’t want to listen or cooperate. You may be right; nevertheless, be patient. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) You may feel competitive with someone today about how you earn your money. Or you may feel you are competing with someone to buy something you want. It’s a challenging day! GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You feel passionate and sexy today! This is why you don’t want family members or someone at home hampering your plans. (It looks like you’ve got big ideas.) CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Secret love affairs or private, flirtatious meetings could take place today. You’re playing your cards very close to your chest. (It’s all very hush-hush.) LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Competition with a friend for the attention of someone else might arise today. Perhaps a platonic relationship is now looking romantic to you. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Someone might be jealous of the attention you get from authority figures or bosses. Alternatively, a flirtation with a boss could blossom into something hot and heavy! LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) You’re determined to make travel plans or get further education. You feel you want more out of life, and you’re going to do something about it today. ‘Nuff said. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Physical relationships will be highly passionate today. Regarding financial matters, disputes about shared possessions could be heated. Tread carefully. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) You might be so eager to do something with a partner or close friend that you’re just a tad too pushy. It’s very easy to make a social gaffe today. Be aware. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) You’re prepared to do something to make where you work feel or look more attractive. And if you can figure out a way to boost your income as well, you will! AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) This is a playful, flirtatious day. Enjoy schmoozing with others. Show business, the entertainment world and the arts will appeal. Sports will be lively! PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) You’re ready to do something to make your home look more attractive today. This is also a great day to entertain and show off what you have. Enjoy your day! YOU BORN TODAY Whatever you do, you do with enthusiasm and energy! This is why you have the ability to inspire others. You are philosophical and spiritual, whether others know it or not; perhaps this is why you become much wiser as you mature. (You also learn how to deal with anger.) In the year ahead, you will begin a new cycle in your life. Open any door! Birthdate of: Francis Ford Coppola, director; Billie Holiday, singer; Russell Crowe, actor.

c e l e b r a t e d the 2011.Throughout past 44 years the Y’s commitment to the community has remained strong and it continues to lead and collaborate with partners to empower, support, and inspire people, noted Thomas. Thomas and Barhorst recognized staff members for significant years of service. Honored were Sam Casalano for 20 years and Belinda Hemp for 35 years. Casalano’s passionate, dedicated service has been a Godsend to the Y, stated Thomas. His impact is impossible to fully measure. Hemp is one of the original staff of the Y and her 35 years of service have touched multiple generations. Thomas also awarded the Carpe Diem award, given annually to a staff member who exemplifies YMCA

values and who has demonstrated outstanding dedication to the YMCA organization, to Building and Property Manager Mark Hoelscher. The approved Board Resolution for the 201112 year included the reelection of Board member Josh Koltak and the appointment of Gary Heitmeyer as secretary on the Executive Council. The YMCA is a charitable, not-for-profit organization with a 501 3 IRS designation. The Sidney-Shelby County YMCA relies on the generosity of members, program participants, and friends of the YMCA to further its mission to put Christian principles into practice to benefit all Shelby County residents through programs that build healthy spirit, mind and body for all.

caused some plaster damage.We knew we had to do something about it. We need to keep the building water tight.” “This is a true fix of the problem,” said Milligan. “Not a temporary bandage.” Two chimneys, which were part of the original building, have been removed. The work on the fly wall is being completed by Trisco Systems of Lima. “This restoration is in their line of expertise,” said Freytag. Also checked out were rods running through the building. Some of them were used for rigging for curtains and others are used to hold corners of the building together. “There was also a door on the roof,” said Freytag. “We didn’t know what it was used for. So we had it removed.” The staging area for the work, said

Milligan, is set up in a city-owned parking lot. “They’ve (city) been very cooperative,” said Milligan. “This is very important to the overall restoration and maintenance of the building,” said Nancy Brown, who is a member of the design committee. Freytag said this part of the project has been fairly simple. “The big picture — restoration of the interior and stage — will be much more intensified. We are going to bring back the theatre to the way it was — as a performing arts theater,” said Freytag. Members of the design committee include Milligan, Freytag, Brown, Tiffany Wildermuth, John Beigel, Mark Starrett and Sarah Kleinhans. Work on the fly wall, weather permitting, should be done by mid- to late April.

My thyroid was checked, and it’s fine. What can I do? — S.C. ANSWER: You don’t mean you’re sleepy, correct? Sleepiness is the desire to lie down and doze off. It usually abates if a person becomes physically active. Fatigue, on the other hand, worsens with activity. Heart failure, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, anemia, an underperforming thyroid gland, depression and chronic fatigue syndrome are a sample of the causes of fatigue. Have you had checkups other than the thyroid checkup? You need a complete exam, one that starts from scratch. It doesn’t sound like DEAR DR.

I can’t guarantee her life to 101, but she has a good chance of living a long, normal life. The booklet on high blood pressure explains this common malady and its treatment in detail.

GAY-FRIENDLY IN N.Y.C. DEAR GAYFRIENDLY: It is unusual for a straight man to frequent gay bars. But would you feel better if Dan was going to straight bars every night and being hit on by women while you’re away? Your greater concern, in my opinion, should be his change in pattern of behavior. If Dan is less interested in sex with you than he has been, then you need to find out why. I have always favored the direct approach. The person you should be discussing this with is your husband. When you do, be frank but not accusatory, and do not allow him to divert the conversation by making you feel guilty

April 6, 1912 The Philip Smith Manufacturing Co. is announcing that it has taken over the agency for the “Regal” and “Marathon” automobiles. ––––– Capt. George H. Wood, of Dayton, was elected Major of the Third Regiment, O.N.G. last evening as successor to Major William M. Tucker. He received a vote of 424 out of a possible 528. Forty-three members of Co. L, 18 members of the band, and three litter carriers voted unanimously for Major Wood at the election held at the armory here. ––––– It is learned from reliable sources that the backers of the interurban line between Loramie and Covington have estimated the cost of the right of way and construction of $325,000. The distance is 16 miles. It is not known how much of a bond issue the public utilities commission will be asked to sanction. Those who are interested in the project are confident that the road built through that fertile part of the state will be a money maker. The people of Loramie and Covington are naturally very anxious that the line be built.

75 years April 6, 1937 The annual election of officers for the Sidney Rotary Club was held at the regular weekly meeting of the club at noon Thursday with the following names to serve during the coming year: Oliver Amos, president; Urban Doorley, vice president; Leo J. McFarland, secretary and treasurer. Jerome Wagner was welcomed as a new member of the club. ––––– Scoring 307 points out of a possible 400, John T. McClure, Sidney, was highest in the Senior Scholarship test conducted last Saturday in Shelby County. The state test was given in all counties in the state. Marjorie Laughlin, Sidney, was second with 305 points, and Virginia Clerke, also of Sidney, third, with 303 points.

50 years April 6, 1962 Mr. and Mrs. Marvin Woodruff of 501 South Ohio Avenue have learned their son, Ray, a cadet at the U.S. Military Academy, West Point, N.Y., for the second consecutive term as a plebe has been listed on the dean’s list. ––––– Shelby County commissioners this week sent a letter to Mayor

Robert Kaser of Sidney asking for a city-county meeting on the subject of courtyard tree restoration. The step was taken following submission of plans by a Sidney Chamber of Commerce committee for the planting of six trees on each side of the lawn. Due to inroads made by Dutch Elm disease, the north and west sides of the court square are now completely denuded of shade trees. Other sides also have suffered. ––––– From a Sidney Daily News special edition: “Make the Most of Motoring” — At last count, one car-owning family in six had two autos. The number of the twocar families has almost doubled in the past decade, and the trend shows every sign of continuing.

25 years April 6, 1987 RUSSIA — Two Russia High School juniors have been chosen to represent Pioneer Rural Electric on the 1987 Ohio Rural Electric Cooperatives’ Washington Youth Tour. Jeff Prenger, Houston, and Pamela Voisard, Russia, were awarded the weeklong trip to be this June for their winning essays on the topic, “A Rural Electric Cooperative — What Makes It Different From Other Electric Utilities?” ––––– “Gone With the Wind” is the theme for the 1987 Fort Loramie High School Junior-Senior Prom, to be held April 10 in the high school gym. Vying for the title of 1987 Prom Queen are seniors Shari Eilerman, Shelley Imwalle, and Diane Richards. Competing for the title of Prom King are seniors Frank Bensman, Joseph Henke, and Ronald Meyer. Crowning of the 1987 Prom King and Queen will be held at 9 p.m. and will be performed by last year’s royalty, Amy Siegel and Phil Meyer. ––––– These news items from past issues of the Sidney Daily News are compiled by the Shelby County Historical Society (498-1653) as a public service to the community.

DEAR ABBY: My family has been having a debate over the issue of how the name “Jeanne” is pronounced. They think it is pronounced “Jean-nee,” while I am certain it’s pronounced the same as “Jean.” Could you please help us with the correct pronunciation? — A DOVER, N.H., READER DEAR READER: The name “Jeanne” can be pronounced either way, depending upon the Jeanne’s preference. In my case, it has always been pronounced “Jeannee.” However, if the name-caller is French, it might be pronounced “J’ahne,” with a very soft “J” — like Zsa-Zsa.

SEX OFFENDERS

Sidney Daily News, Friday, April 6, 2012

Page 17

OFFENDERS law. The remaining sections are still in effect. Any offender classified by a court order under Megan’s law went back to his or her previous sexual offender classification. On Tuesday, the Ohio Supreme Court again made a change to the Adam Walsh Act, ruling that juvenile sex offenders could not be required to register for life under the law. The decision overturned the mandatory lifelong notifcation requirement imposed on a 15-year-old Athens County boy convicted in 2009 on juvenile charges of raping a 6-year-old relative. The county sheriff is responsible under Ohio law for the registration of sex offenders. Sex offenders must register with the county sheriff on scheduled periodic basis, which is determined by their tier classification. In addition, sex offenders must register with the county sheriff any change of residential address, place of employment, or enrollment in a school or institute of higher education. According to Shelby County Sheriff John Lenhart, there are currently 140 registered sex offenders in the county. Those not listed here are currently incarcerated. Lenhart praised the enforcement in place in Shelby County. “None of them are out of compliance,” he said. “All of them have resident addresses. There are some areas that are our size communities — and certainly some larger — some of them live under bridges or god knows what.” Lenhart also pointed out that at any time, any resident may go to the Shelby County Sheriff ’s Office website and find sex offenders who are registered as living nearby. “If citizens go to our website and they want to know who lives in their neighborhood, they can do that,” he said. Lenhart said local law enforcement officers both from the sheriff ’s office, as well as city and village police departments, do regular checks to ensure that offenders are in compliance. Offenders currently registered in Shelby County, according to the Electronic Sex Offender Registration and Notification (eSORN) database, are as follows: • David Del Archbold, 58, 807 Brooklyn Ave., Apt. 3 (upstairs), white male, 5 feet 7 inches tall, 180 pounds, sandy hair, blue eyes. Work address: 821 Brooklyn Ave. Offense: gross sexual imposition, victim under 13. Victim: child female. (Pre-AWA sexual predator) • Jamie Rea Barker, alias Jamie Rea Daniels, 31, 219 N. Highland Ave., white female, 5 feet 8 inches tall, 200 pounds, brown hair, blue eyes. Offense: unlawful sexual conduct with a minor, attempted. Victim: juvenile female. (Pre-AWA sexually oriented offender) • Nathaniel Lewis Bateman, 25, 408 E. Russell Road, white male, 6 feet 2 inches tall, 259 pounds, brown hair, blue eyes. Work address: 402 S. Kuther Road. Offense: importuning; pandering obscenity involving a minor. (PreAWA sexually oriented offender) • Christopher Edward Baugh, 40, 516 N. Ohio Ave., white male, 5 feet 8 inches tall, 240 pounds, brown hair,

Piqua baseball coaching legend Jim Hardman dies PIQUA — Piqua High School baseball coaching legend Jim Hardman passed away early Thursday morning at the age of 84. Hardman amassed a record of 522252 during his Hardman coaching career, along with equal success in the summer leading Piqua Post 184. Hardman had 27 players sign professional contracts and 44 receive scholarships. Hardman Field, the high school field at Fountain Park in Piqua, is named after him. Hardman had a legendary coaching career, beginning in

his hometown of South Charleston. He coached the school (now known as Southeastern) to three league titles, a district title and district runnerup finish in five years. Hardman made the move to Piqua, where he would coach for the next 26 years. The Indians won 12 league titles during his tenure, two district titles and had one district runnerup finish. During that time, Hardman also was a varsity basketball coach for five years and an assistant football coach — the same as when he was at South Charleston. In the mid 1980s, after Hardman retired, Rick Gold took over the Indians. Gold is now the head coach of the Russia Raiders.

CINCINNATI (AP) — Joey Votto grabbed the cap off his head and tossed it into the joyous crowd behind the Reds’ dugout as a way of saying thanks on opening day. Then he pulled off his batting gloves and flung those into the stands, too. Johnny Cueto? He wasn’t giving anything away. Not to the Marlins, anyway. Jay Bruce homered and drove in a pair of runs, and Cueto dominated in his first opening-day start on Thursday, leading the Cincinnati Reds to a 4-0 victory over the Miami Marlins before one of the biggest crowds ever at Great American Ball Park. Cueto (1-0) anchored the Reds’ first opening-day shutout since 1980, when Frank Pastore beat Atlanta’s Phil Niekro 9-0. The righthander allowed only three hits over seven innings, one of them an infield single. The 26-year-old didn’t sweat his starring role on the city’s unofficial holiday. “The young man is maturing big-time before our eyes,” manager Dusty Baker said. “He doesn’t fight Johnny Cueto anymore. Before, his own worst enemy was himself.” Cueto had his breakout season last year, when he stopped trying for strikeouts and brooding when something went wrong. He finished with a 2.31 ERA and gave up three runs or fewer in 21 of his 24 starts. On Thursday, he pitched like he belongs at the top of the rotation. “Of course, I felt that way,” Cueto said, through a trainer acting as interpreter. “That’s not the first time I’ve pitched against a No. 1 guy. I feel like I’m part of that group, too.” Left-hander Mark Buehrle (0-1) gave up Bruce’s sacrifice fly and Ryan Ludwick’s RBI double over six innings. Bruce also homered off Edward Mujica. The crowd of 42,956 was the second-largest at Great American, trailing only a playoff loss to Philadelphia in 2010. The Marlins arrived at 3 a.m. after opening their new ballpark in Miami with a 4-1 loss to St. Louis on Wednesday night. They managed only four hits off the defending World Series champions, and weren’t any better after a few hours of sleep in Cincinnati. “We have good hitters on

CINCINNATI REDS’ Jay Bruce, right, is congratulated by Ryan Ludwick, left, after Bruce hit a solo home run off Miami Marlins pitcher Edward Majica during the eighth inning of the Reds' Opening Day baseball game Thursday in Cincinnati. The Reds won 4-0. this team,” first baseman Gaby Sanchez said. “We know all of a sudden with these guys, it’s going to be awesome and ridiculous. We just have to let it happen, not try to push it to happen.” Florida managed only three hits off Cueto and a bullpen depleted by the loss of closer Ryan Madson and setup man Nick Masset. Aroldis Chapman pitched a perfect eighth, and fill-in closer Sean Marshall retired the side in order in the ninth, striking out two with the crowd on its feet. Then, the Reds celebrated with on-field hand slaps and a few mementos tossed into the stands. “I’m emotionally drained,” said Zack Cozart, the first rookie shortstop to start an opener for Cincinnati since Frank Duffy in 1971. “I’m ready to go to bed. It was very exciting.” Cincinnati’s traditional home opener matched two of the majors’ biggest offseason

spenders. Votto got a loud ovation during pregame introductions, a day after he signed a new contract that gave him an additional 10 years and $225 million to be the cornerstone of the small-market franchise. Votto singled and got an intentional walk in four plate appearances. The Marlins also went on a spending spree leading up to the opening of their new ballpark, shelling out $191 million to acquire NL batting champion Jose Reyes, Buehrle and All-Star closer Heath Bell in a move to make the franchise a contender overnight. They also hired manager Ozzie Guillen to oversee the fresh start. Buehrle struggled with his control in the first inning on a windy, 60-degree afternoon. He escaped a bases-loaded, one-out threat by allowing only Bruce’s sacrifice fly to the warning track in center. Doubles by Scott Rolen and Ludwick made it 2-0 in the sixth.
