NASA to lasso asteroid Space rock to be parked near moon for study BY SETH BORENSTEIN Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — NASA is planning for a robotic spaceship to lasso a small asteroid and park it near the moon for astronauts to explore, a top senator said Friday. The ship would capture the 500-ton, 25-foot asteroid in 2019. Then using an Orion
space capsule, a crew of about four astronauts would nuzzle up next to the rock in 2021 for spacewalking exploration, according to a government document obtained by The Associated Press. Sen. Bill Nelson, D-Fla., said the plan would speed up by four years the existing mission to land astronauts on an asteroid by bringing the space rock closer to Earth.
Nelson, who is chairman of the Senate science and space subcommittee, said Friday that President Barack Obama is putting $100 million in planning money for the accelerated asteroid mission in the 2014 budget that comes out next week. The money would be used to find the right small asteroid. “It really is a clever concept,” Nelson said in a press

County commissioners concerned over Public Defender’s Commission BY KATHY LEESE The Shelby County Commissioners have concerns over the manner in which the Shelby County Public Defender’s Commission is operating and is also concerned that the State of Ohio is not properly reimbursing the county for public defender cases. County Commissioner Tony Bornhorst said he has has been reviewing the Ohio Revised Code (ORC) and the Ohio Administrative Code (OAC) to ensure that the local Public Defender’s Commission is acting within boundaries of the law. “The commission is supposed to have five people,” Bornhorst explained, with three of those appointed by the County Commissioners and two by the Shelby County Common Pleas Court Judge. Bornhorst said the terms should be for four years and should be staggered, but that does not appear to be the case with the local board’s membership.
Bornhorst
Faulkner
Present members and the dates they began service are as follows: attorney Harry Faulkner, Feb. 8, 1983; Andy Counts, Oct. 17, 2002; Edward Seger, Sept. 30, 2007; Douglas Stewart, Jan. 1, 1999, and attorney Priscilla Hax, who was appointed on July 19, 2011 to fill the unexpired term of Eric Sanders. Her term expires Sept. 30. (Hax requested not to be paid for her service on the commission.) Bornhorst said questions arose after some local residents voiced concerns to the County Commissioners over the appointment of Roger Luring as public defender last fall. Luring is a Troy attorney and Miami County resident. He stepped down a short time
later, citing a conflict, and Shelby County attorney Jonathan Richard has been filling in since. Faulkner has said he anticipates Richard will be named to the post. Bornhorst said he believes the Public Defender’s Commission is “technically” not following ORC procedures. Because of that, along with concerns the commissioners have about Public Defenders Commission board members’ pay, Bornhorst said, “We may need to shake it up … to make sure we’re doing the right thing.” Bornhorst said Public Defender’s Commission members are paid for their service with money from the county’s general fund. He said he is not sure they should be paid. He noted he and County Commissioner Bob Guillozet “are a new set of eyes” and the payments “caught our attention.” “I have not found where it is mandated that they get paid,” Bornhorst said. “They are supposed to meet four times a year.” According to the Shelby County Auditor’s OfSee BOARD/Page 3
NEW BREMEN — Local businessman John Gilberg was honored as the Excellence in Business Award recipient during the New Bremen Community Improvement Corporation annual meeting Wednesday Gilberg at Speedway Lanes in the village. Although he was unable to attend because of the funeral of his brother, Gilberg was honored at the meeting as the recipient of the Excellence in Business Award. The award was announced by Chris Fyock, CIC president. Fyock read a tribute highlighting Gilberg’s contributions to the community, as a business owner and community leader. The Gilberg Furniture began in 1926 as The People’s Radio and Gift Shop.” It was founded by Gilberg’s father, Paul Gilberg, and Earl Hegemi. In 1996, Gilberg Furniture constructed a new store on Schwieterman Street at the south edge of the village. Gilberg and his wife Joyce operated the business until 2000 when ownership was assumed by a third generation of the family, Jill (daughter) and Joe Borkowski and son James and Diane Gilberg. In 1929, Gilberg and Hegemier purchased a local funeral home business from A.H. Albert. The funeral home also is in the third generation of the family as it is now owned by his nephew, Steve Hartwig, and it known as Gilberg-Hartwig Funeral Home. In 1953, the Gilberg family helped create a formal program for children and adults with disabilities in Auglaize County. It later became known as the Auglaize See GILBERG/Page 4

The next fundraising event will be June 28 and 29 when the trustees will have a food booth at the 3rd Annual Houston
Page 3
Classic Festival. Volunteers are needed to help set up and tear down the booth, and cook and serve food. Contact Gene Greve who has the work schedule. He can be reached at (937) 778-9470. Trustees are also in need of someone to chair the food booth at the Shelby County Fair in July. Those interested should attend the May 1 meeting or speak with any of the nine trustees. Volunteers are also needed to work the food booth. The next regular monthly meeting will be held May 1 at the special time of 7 p.m. Anyone interested in renting the building for an upcoming event should call rental agent Marcella Colby at (937) 778-0427.
fice, board members are paid $30 per meeting but that sometimes they do not meet at all during the course of a year. “As far as the pay part goes, I realize we have professional people (on the commission), but I realize we have a lot of Shelby Countians who serve on boards at no pay,” Bornhorst said. He noted those individuals consider it a community service to serve and do so without compensation. He said he knows the commission members “have a very important task.” When contacted Friday, Faulkner said he is an original member of the commission, which began in 1983 after Judge Donald Luce suggested the idea. “I’m not sure who appointed me. I’m not sure how long the terms are,” Faulkner said. “I don’t think there’s ever been any requirement you can only serve four years.” Faulkner said terms of members are staggered. As for Bornhorst’s belief the commission is not holding meetings as required by the ORC, Faulkner acknowledged that may be true. “We never have, frankly,” he said. He noted the commission “met sparingly” and only began to meet more often after problems arose over Luring’s appointment. As for pay, Faulkner said, “It’s pretty token, for heaven’s sakes.” He said he wished that if the County Commissioners have an issue that they would have contacted him. There is also an issue of the state reimbursing Shelby County for public defender cases. The county can be reimbursed for up to 50 percent for indigent cases it handles, Bornhorst said, but the county is currently only getting from 28 to 32 percent. “In 2010, we got 35 percent of our costs back,” Bornhorst said.” The state’s not fulfilling their obligation.” He said state officials claim there is “not enough money” to repay the county.

From Page 1 Bornhorst said that former Public Defender Tim Sell, now the Shelby County prosecutor, “has been a very agreeable person” to work with and the County Commissioners are also “happy” with Richard’s work. He said there are four ways to have a public defender available to serve indigent defendants. They are: • Shelby County Common Pleas Court can appoint Shelby County attorneys to serve as public defenders. The county would pay for the legal services and be reimbursed by the State of Ohio. • The county can continue to operate as it currently does with its own public defender’s office. • The county could join with several other counties and have a public defender’s office to serve a multi-county area. • The Ohio Public Defender’s office can provide services to Shelby County, at the county’s expense. Sell noted that when he was public defender, in 2011 there was a total of 1,328 cases handled by the office, including 289 felonies, 789 misdemeanors, 158 juvenile and 92 miscellaneous cases. In 2012, the office handled 1,412 cases, including 255 felonies, 838 misdemeanors, 227 juvenile and 92 miscellaneous cases. He noted, however, that the 2012 numbers may not accurately reflect the total because toward the end of the year the Sidney Police Department did not turn cases over to the Prosecutor’s office until Sell took office. Bornhorst said the County Commissioners will likely meet with the Public Defender’s Commission some time in the future “and put everything out on the table.” He said there is a need for “qualified people and people that have an interest in what’s going on” to serve on the Public Defender’s Commission. He urged anyone interested to contact him at 498-7226.
THE AGENDA Sidney City Council
An ordinance to revise city regulations on litter, junk and rubbish and a discussion of a possible vacant property registry, industrial surcharge rates and industrial pretreatment program enforcement will be among the items on the agenda when Sidney City Council meets at 6:30 p.m. Monday. Kirby King, city code enforcement officer, has led a revision of city junk and other nuisance regulations designed to provide a more clear definition of a violation, eliminate junk from the right of way, reduce the time to remedy violations and a plan to handle repeat offenders. It has been recommended by staff to keep the industrial surcharge rates at the present levels. Council is being asked to provide input on the industrial pretreatment program enforcement response guide. Also on the agenda is a continuation of a discussion of a possible vacant house registry in Sidney.
Minster Board of Education A discussion of the future of the former school building on Hanover Street, a memorandum of understanding between the board and the Minster Teachers Association and various reports will be on the agenda when the Minster Board of Education meets at 8 p.m. Monday in the elementary school large group meeting room.
Botkins Board of Education The hiring of personnel and action on contract renewals will be among the items on the agenda when the Botkins Board of Education meets at 7 p.m.Wednesday in the high school media center. The board also will consider adoption of several handbooks and a lease agreement with the Botkins Community Club.
Jackson Center Village Council Ordinances involving contributions to the Police and Fire Pension Fund, the purchase of a backhoe and shifting an alley in the village to one-way traffic will be among the items on the agenda for the Jackson Center Village Council meeting, which will begin at 7 p.m. Monday.

Changes coming Imprisioned Amish seek release for local inns
Kasich to meet family COLUMBUS (AP) — The governor has agreed to a rare meeting with the family of a murder victim whose morbidly obese killer he spared from execution. The meeting follows Gov. John Kasich’s decision in December to grant clemency to Ronald Post on the grounds that he had poor legal representation. Kasich said at the time that all criminal defendants deserve adequate defenses. “This decision should not be viewed by anyone as a diminishing of this awful crime or the pain it has caused,” Kasich added in a statement. Kasich’s decision was unrelated to Post’s betterknown argument: that at 450 pounds he was too fat to be executed humanely in the 1983 shooting death of Elyria motel clerk Helen Vantz during a robbery. The Morning Journal of Lorain reported Friday that Vantz’s oldest son, Michael Vantz, hopes to meet with Kasich next month. Kasich spokesman Rob Nichols said he was unaware of a similar meeting in the past. The family proposes “a non-hostile, non-threatening venue of your choice,” for a meeting, according to a Dec. 28 letter to Kasich from Michael Vantz that was provided Friday to The Associated Press.
a year ago, said high franchise fees led to his decision to go independent. “We’re dropping the franchise to keep the costs down,” he said. Knight, who also owns Knight’s Towing in Sidney, said the motel will be renamed Knight’s Family Inn. “We’ve had a maintenance man making it a little nicer,” Knight said of plans to make improvements to the facility. Knight explained the previous owner had reduced the motel to 50 rooms, but he has opened closed rooms, bringing the facility back up to 100 rooms. “Business is starting to pick up,” he said, adding that when the summer vacation season and Country Concert arrive, the motel will be very busy. Plans are underway for the construction of a new Holiday Inn Express motel just north of the current Days Inn location. The developer, N.B. Patel, of Van Wert, said he will be releasing information about the new motel in the near future.
State invites comment on transportation plan The Ohio Department of Transportation has announced the draft Statewide Transportation Improvement Program is available for comment and that a meeting is scheduled in Sidney for public review. The program identifies highway and transit maintenance, new capacity, bicycle and other transportation-related projects that will be implemented throughout the state over the next four years. The draft documents will be available for public review and comment at 30 locations statewide during the review period of Monday to April 19 during normal business hours. These locations consist of the Planning and Engineering Admin-
istrator’s Office in each of the 12 ODOT District Offices, the ODOT Central Office Division of Planning, located in Columbus, and each of the 17 Ohio Metropolitan Planning Organization Offices. An open house will be held at ODOT District 7 headquarters in Sidney April 16 from 4 to 6 p.m. The facility is located at 1001 St. Marys Ave. For additional information visit the program’s website at http://www.dot.state.oh.u s/Divisions/Planning/STI P/Pages/comments.aspx.

apart in Minnesota. The Amish “are being treated much more harshly than the typical federal prisoner, including those with much worse criminal histories and offense conduct,” Mullet’s attorney, Edward Bryan, wrote in a March 29 filing. “The manner in which their sentences are being carried out by the Bureau of Prisons is cruel and unusual.” Prosecutors, in their response filed on Friday, pointed out that Mullet has unsuccessfully argued to be released five times throughout the case, and they cited comments from federal Judge Dan Polster that Mullet showed no remorse for the attacks and “enjoyed receiving prompt reports about the violent assaults, and even received a bag of hair as proof that one such assault was successful.”

His other community activities have included the formation of the local youth baseball program, helping to found the Bremenfest celebration and many years of service on mission efforts of St. Paul United Church of Christ, including mission trips to Ukraine and El Salvador. Fyock also presented welcome plaques to two new local businesses, NAPA Auto Parts and Brookside Laboratories, both of which opened their doors in January. Recognized for reaching milestones were: New Bremen Machine

In other business activity in the past year, several local businesses continue to make investments in their operations and Que’s Barber Shop has relocated from the Opera House (which was damaged by fire in 2012) to the former parks building on Main Street. Another highlight of 2012 was the opening of the Sunshine Playground, a 100 percent handicapped accessible facility at Bremenfest Park. The playground was a project of the New Bremen-New Knoxville
From Page 1 Rotary Club The Sunshine Playground Project began in September 2010 with the announcement of a $250,000 fundraising goal. The project is inspired by Camryn Murgatroyd, who lost her battle with microcephaly and epilepsy at 5 years of age in May 2009. Public improvements made during the past year include the enclosure of the Kuest Ditch, completion of the Walnut Street sewer project and the construction of all streets in the Teton Subdivision. Projects for this year include a new tanker truck for the fire department, rebuilding sanitary sewers on Circle Drive and Washington Street and electrical and cable placement underground.

A number of changes are in the works for motels located on Folkerth Avenue in Sidney, with two businesses planning name changes and a new motel in the planning stage. The Sidney Inn, 400 Folkerth Ave., will soon become Days Inn, with the former Days Inn location, 420 Folkerth Ave., becoming an independent business. And just a little further down the street, plans are in the preliminary stage for the construction of a new Holiday Inn Express. Jeff Heath, manager of the current Sidney Inn, said after two years as an independent business, the motel will become part of the Days Inn chain, probably in early May. Heath said the motel operated as a Holiday Inn for many years and was a Quality
Inn for about four years before going independent in July 2011. Health said among the advantages of going with a national chain are the access to mobile apps, which give busy travelers the ability to book a room with a mobile device as they roll down the highway and the national exposure. “Nowadays, people on the go have mobile apps to make reservations on the road almost instantaneously,” Heath said. Heath, who has been with the local motel for the last four years, said other than the Days Inn sign, there will be no cosmetic changes to the outside of the building. On the inside, new televisions and mattresses will be among the upgrades being planned. A grand re-opening event is being planned. The motel is owned by P.T. Medical and Technical Consultants of Monee, Ill. After being a Days Inn since its opened in the summer of 1974, the motel at 420 Folkerth Ave., will soon embark on a new path.

any of them released as they await the outcomes of their appeals, expected to be filed this summer. Defense attorneys may also appeal denials of the release requests to the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Cincinnati. The Amish group’s leader, Samuel Mullet Sr., was sentenced to 15 years in prison, while the rest of the group got sentences ranging from one to seven years. The Amish have been sent to different prisons across the country, placing an overly harsh burden on their relatives, who, because of their religion, cannot travel by plane and have to hire drivers for car travel, the group’s attorneys argue. For instance, for Mullet’s wife to visit him and three sons convicted in the case, she’d have to travel to Oklahoma, Louisiana and two prisons 160 miles

CINCINNATI (AP) — Attorneys for a group of Amish men and women found guilty of hate crimes for cutting the hair and beards of fellow members of their faith are arguing that the group’s conviction, sentencing and imprisonment in separate facilities across the country violates their constirights and tutional amounts to cruel and unusual punishment, according to recent court filings. The filings in federal court in Akron seek the release of seven of 16 Amish convicted in September in the 2011 eastern Ohio attacks, which were meant to shame fellow Amish they believed were straying from strict religious interpretations. Although six of the requests were denied by the trial judge, one is pending, and the judge could at any time order

NATION/WORLD TODAY IN HISTORY BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Today is Saturday, April 6, the 96th day of 2013. There are 269 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On April 6, 1973, Ron Blomberg of the New York Yankees became Major League Baseball’s first designated hitter as he faced pitcher Luis Tiant of the Boston Red Sox at Fenway. (Blomberg was walked with the bases loaded; Boston won the game, 15-5.) On this date: • In 1830, the Church of Jesus Christ of LatterDay Saints was organized by Joseph Smith in Fayette, N.Y. • In 1862, the Civil War Battle of Shiloh began in Tennessee as Confederate forces launched a surprise attack against Union troops, who beat back the Confederates the next day. • In 1896, the first modern Olympic games opened in formally Athens, Greece. • In 1909, American explorers Robert E. Peary and Matthew A. Henson and four Inuits became the first men to reach the North Pole. • In 1917, Congress approved a declaration of war against Germany. • In 1943, “Le Petit Prince” (The Little Prince) by Antoine de Saint-Exupery was first published in the U.S. by Reynal & Hitchcock of New York. • In 1945, during World War II, the Japanese warship Yamato and nine other vessels sailed on a suicide mission to attack the U.S. fleet off Okinawa; the fleet was intercepted the next day. • In 1959, “Gigi” won the Academy Award for best picture of 1958; Susan Hayward was named best actress for “I Want to Live!” and David Niven was named best actor for “Separate Tables.” (To the embarrassment of the show’s producers, the scheduled 2-hour ceremony fell about 20 minutes short.)
OUT OF THE BLUE
Oh, there she is DUBUQUE, Iowa (AP) — An African leopard tortoise thought to be stolen from an Iowa museum was actually trapped behind paneling in her enclosure, and a misguided employee who found her lied to keep up the story about her theft, the museum announced Friday. In a bizarre move, the employee who found the 18pound reptile named Cashew put her into a building elevator in an attempt to prevent the museum further embarrassment, said Jerry Enzler, president and CEO of the National Mississippi River Museum & Aquarium in Dubuque. The tortoise was found alone in a museum elevator on Thursday, two days after the museum had discovered she was missing and announced that she had been stolen. Museum officials told media outlets Thursday that they believed a regretful thief had smuggled her back inside. But several hours later, a museum employee came forward and told the truth: Cashew was never stolen. “The action taken by the employee Thursday afternoon was wrong and is not reflective of the integrity of the staff who dedicate themselves to the highest of Museum & Aquarium standards,” Enzler said in a statement Friday.

Judge making morning-after pill available to all BY LAURAN NEERGAARD Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — The morning-after pill might become as easy to buy as aspirin. In a scathing rebuke accusing the Obama administration of letting election-year politics trump science, a federal judge ruled Friday that there should be no age restrictions on the sale of emergency contraception without a doctor’s prescription. Today, buyers must prove at the pharmacy that they’re 17 or older; everyone else must see a doctor first. U.S. District Judge Edward Korman of New York blasted the government’s decision on age limits as “arbitrary, capricious and unreasonable,” and ordered an end to the restrictions within 30 days. The Justice Department was evaluating whether to appeal, and spokeswoman Allison Price said there would be
a prompt decision. President Barack Obama had supported the 2011 decision setting age limits, and White House spokesman Jay Carney said Friday the president hasn’t changed his position. “He believes it was the right common-sense approach to this issue,” Carney said. If the court order stands, Plan B One-Step and its generic versions could move from behind pharmacy counters out to drugstore shelves — ending a decade-plus struggle by women’s groups for easier access to these pills, which can prevent pregnancy if taken soon enough after unprotected sex. Saying the sales restrictions can make it hard for women of any age to buy the pills, Korman described the administration’s decision, in the year before the 2012 presidential and congressional elections, as “politically motivated, scientifically unjustified and contrary to agency precedent.”
Women’s health specialists hailed the ruling. “It has been clear for a long time that the medical and scientific community think this should be fully over the counter and is safe for women of all ages to use,” said Dr. Susan Wood, who resigned as FDA’s women’s health chief in 2005 to protest Bush administration foot-dragging over Plan B. Half the nation’s pregnancies every year are unintended. Doctors’ groups say more access to morning-after pills — by putting them near the condoms and spermicides so people can learn about them and buy them quickly — could cut those numbers. They see little risk in overuse, as the pills cost $40 to $50 apiece. “The fact that it’s over the counter does not make people have sex,” said Dr. Angela Diaz, director of New York’s Mount Sinai Adolescent Health Center. “Sixty percent of young people are sexually
active by 12th grade, and the more tools we have to help them be responsible, the better.” Social conservatives criticized the ruling. “There is a real danger that Plan B may be given to young girls, under coercion or without their consent,” said Anna Higgins of the Family Research Council. “The involvement of parents and medical professionals acts as a safeguard for these young girls. However, today’s ruling removes these common-sense protections.” Deirdre McQuade, spokeswoman for the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, said: “Plan B does not prevent or treat any disease, but makes young adolescent girls more available to sexual predators. The court’s action undermines parents’ ability to protect their daughters from such exploitation and from the adverse effects of the drug itself.”
Embassies warned

POLICE CARRY children from a safehouse to waiting parents and guardians after a shooting at a daycare in Gatineau, Quebec, Canada on Friday.
2 dead in daycare shooting; children safe GATINEAU, Quebec (AP) — A man shot dead another man at a day care center in Quebec then killed himself, and the 53 children present were evacuated unharmed. Police said some may have watched the killings. For a moment, Canada feared its own version of last year’s deadly school shooting in the U.S., where 20 young children were killed. Police on Friday received a call about an armed man with a shotgun threatening people, Gatineau Police Chief Mario Harel said. They arrived to find one man dead with a shotgun beside him and a second man, an unidentified employee of the day care, also dead. Harel said the shooting seemed to be related to a recent separation between a couple but didn’t elaborate. The Racines De Vie Montessori daycare is located in two homes, and Sergeant Jean-Paul LeMay said police found a body in each one. LeMay said the children were
safe at a nearby house. Police were investigating the link between the men and the possibility of domestic violence, LeMay said. He wouldn’t say if either was linked to a child at the day care. Police speculated that some children likely witnessed the killings. “It’s a small area, it’s a close space,” said Harel. “For sure, they should have been witness (to) the event.” Parents sobbed and hugged while they waited for investigators to bring them to their children. Omar Eltalawi rushed to the scene from his nearby home as soon as he heard about the shooting, fearful for his 3-year-old daughter, Zain. “It was horrible,” Eltalawi said as he described the fear of not knowing what was going on inside the day care. “You see these things on the news and you don’t expect it to happen to you.” Gatineau city is just across the river from Ottawa, the capital.
MOSCOW (AP) — North Korea has warned diplomats in Pyongyang that it can’t guarantee the safety of embassies in the event of a conflict and suggested they may want to evacuate their staff, Russia’s top diplomat said Friday. Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov is demanding an explanation from the North Koreans — asking whether the warning is an order to evacuate the North Korean capital or merely a proposal to consider doing so. “This proposal has been sent to all the embassies in Pyongyang,” Lavrov said. “We are now trying to clarify the situation. We asked our North Korean neighbors a few questions that need to be asked in this situation.” About two dozen countries have embassies in North Korea. Lavrov said during a visit to Uzbekistan as saying that Russia is in touch with China, the United States, Japan and South Korea — all members of a dormant talks process with North Korea — to try to figure out the motivation behind the warning. “We are very much worried by inciting of tensions, even though it’s verbal so far,” Lavrov said. “We would like to understand the reasons behind the proposal to evacuate the embassies, whether it’s a decision of the North Korean leadership or a proposal. We were told it’s a proposal.” North Korea’s government did not comment on the embassy warnings. Tensions have been roiling in the past few weeks following a North Korean nuclear test and the country’s subsequent warnings to South Korea and the United States that it would be prepared to attack. A South Korean analyst said North Korea is “advertising to the world” tensions on the Korean Peninsula as a follow-up
NASA NASA’s chief technology officer. “It’s a great combination of our robotic and human capabilities to do the kind of thing that NASA should be doing in this century,” Braun said. Last year, the Keck Institute for Space Studies proposed a similar mission for NASA with a price tag of $2.6 billion. There is no cost estimate for the space agency’s version. NASA’s plans were first reported by Aviation Week. While there are thousands of asteroids around 25-feet, finding the right one that comes by Earth at just the right time to be captured will not be easy, said Donald Yeomans, who heads NASA’s Near Earth Object program that monitors close-by asteroids. He said once a suitable rock is found it would be cap-
measure to its announcement last week that it had entered a “state of war” with South Korea. “It appears to be a ruse to draw the attention of as many countries as possible to the tension and make it an international issue,” said Chang Yong-seok, an expert at the Institute for Peace and Unification Studies at Seoul National University. “Pyongyang is telling the nations with diplomats in Pyongyang that something needs to be done about it.” Britain’s Foreign Office confirmed that it had received the warning, which it called part of ongoing rhetoric from Pyongyang to portray the U.S. as a threat. “The British Embassy in Pyongyang received a communication from the North Korean government this morning saying that the North Korean government would be unable to guarantee the safety of embassies and international organizations in the country in the event of conflict from April 10th,” it said in a statement. Britain said it was “considering next steps” and had no immediate plans to withdraw from Pyongyang. Sweden said North Korea’s foreign ministry had a meeting with foreign diplomats but didn’t order them to leave. “It was a meeting that dealt with the security situation in the country, where the North Koreans asked whether there was any need for assistance in case of an evacuation,” Swedish Foreign Ministry spokesman Teo Zetterman said. Sweden also represents the United States, which doesn’t have an embassy or any direct diplomatic presence in North Korea. Any Americans in North Korea would be NGO workers or tourists but it’s not officially known how many might be there.
From Page 1 tured with the space equivalent of “a baggie with a drawstring. You bag it. You attach the solar propulsion module to de-spin it and bring it back to where you want it.” Yeomans said a 25-foot asteroid is no threat to Earth because it would burn up should it inadvertently enter Earth’s atmosphere. These types of asteroids are closer to Earth — not in the main asteroid belt between Jupiter and Mars. They’re less than 10 million miles away, Braun said. “It’s probably the right size asteroid to be practicing on,” he said. A 25-foot asteroid is smaller than the size rock that caused a giant fireball that streaked through the sky in Russia in February, said Apollo 9 astronaut Rusty Schweickart, head of the B612 Foundation, a nonprofit con-
cerned about dangerous space rocks. The robotic ship would require a high-tech solar engine to haul the rock through space, something that is both cutting-edge and doable, Braun said. Then NASA would use a new large rocket and the Orion capsule — both under development — to send astronauts to the asteroid. There would be no gravity on the asteroid so the astronauts would have to hover over it in an extended spacewalk. Exploring the asteroid “would be great fun,” Schweickart said. “You’d have some interesting challenges in terms of operating in an environment like that.” Nelson said the mission would help NASA develop the capability to nudge away a dangerous asteroid if one
headed to Earth in the future. It also would be training for a future mission to send astronauts to Mars in the 2030s, he said. But while it would be helpful for planetary defense, “that’s not your primary mission,” Schweickart said. George Washington University Space Policy Institute Director Scott Pace, a top NASA official during the George W. Bush administration, was critical of the plan, saying it was a bad idea scientifically and for international cooperation. Instead, NASA and other countries should first join forces for a comprehensive survey of all possible dangerous space rocks, Pace said. The government document describing the mission said it would inspire because it “will send humans farther than they have ever been before.”

Just as using fabric spray to freshen carpets, curtains, furniture or beds will make them smell nice, but it does not clean them. Many college students think spraying their clothes and sheets will suffice because they “smell” clean. Folks, they are not clean!

LOCALIFE Price group hears health talk The Sidney/Shelby County Chapter of the Weston A. Price Foundation hosted Dr. Wayne Feister at its March meeting recently. He gave a talk, “Healthy4Life.” Feister discussed the USDA dietary guidelines, with their severe restriction of animal fats. “The USDA way of eating is unproven, and never before practiced by any healthy culture of people,” Feister said. Since the U.S. began decreasing butter and lard consumption, and replacing it with margarine and vegetable oils, starting in the early part of the 1900s, health problems such as heart disease, cancer, diabetes and obesity have greatly risen. Feister cited scientific studies confirming the benefits of a high-animal-fat diet, including less chance of strokes, ability to maintain proper weight and an anti-stiffness factor found in raw butter. “Saturated fats have many roles in maintaining health,” Feister said. Vitamins A and D, found exclusively in animal fats, are key nutrients for brain development. Cell membranes should be 50 percent fatty acids, he said. Saturated fats help the body put calcium in bones. Saturated fats are the preferred foods for the heart. The liver is protected from alcohol and other poisons by animal fats. The lungs cannot function without saturated fats. In Europe, the best treatment for asthma is whole raw milk. “Cholesterol is the mother of all hormones,” Feister added. He said that many menopausal women go into asthma, an effect of eating a low-animal-fat diet. Healthy primitive cultures, studied by Dr. Weston A. Price, had from four to 10 times the amounts of vitamins A and D, as did the standard American diet during the early 1900s. “People eating a traditional-foods diet feel good, and live a long, active life,” Feister said. The four major components of a traditional diet are animal foods; grains, legumes and nuts; vegetables and fruits; and fats and oils. Animal foods include meat and organ meats, poultry and eggs from
pastured animals. Fish and shellfish, whole raw cheese, milk and other dairy products from pastured animals and broth made from animal bones are other examples of animal foods. Whole-grain baked goods, breakfast porridges, whole grain rice, beans and nuts, if properly prepared, will improve digestibility. Proper preparation of oatmeal, for instance, involves soaking it overnight in water with a little lemon juice, whey, or yogurt, he said. This process removes the preservative in the grain, and allows for nutrient absorption when eaten. Grains can also be sprouted, or prepared using a slow fermentation process like sourdough. Nuts should be soaked overnight in water and salt, then dried in a dehydrator or oven using a temperature of 150 degrees F. or less to preserve enzymes. Vegetables and fruits can be fresh or frozen, preferably locally grown, either raw, cooked, or in soups and stews. Lactofermented condiments such a sauerkraut, kimchee, pickles, and beets provide many probiotic benefits. Fats and oils in a traditional diet include unrefined saturated and monosaturated fats, including butter, lard, meat fats, poultry fat and other animal fats, palm and coconut oils, olive oil and cod liver oil for vitamins A and D. People transitioning to traditional foods may notice feelings of well-being by first changing their fats. Use butter instead of margarine, Feister said. Lard, coconut and olive oil can replace vegetable oils. And a high quality cod liver oil supplement, such Blue Ice from as www.greenpasture.org, can be added. Much more information and many “how to” videos can be found at www.westonaprice.org. Meetings of the Weston A. Price Foundation are held the second Tuesday of the odd months (except July), at the Sidney Fire Department in downtown Sidney at 7 p.m. For information, visit www.westonaprice.org or contact Pam at (419) 628-2276.

Walkup club plans last dance BY PATRICIA ANN SPEELMAN pspeelman@ civitasmedia.com FORT LORAMIE — In 1960, the Drifters released their recording of “Save the Last Dance for Me.” It wasn’t too long before that, that the Fred Bruns Orchestra had begun playing for monthly dances at the Walkup Country Club, a former schoolhouse at Ohio 705 and Brandewie Road near Fort Loramie. Perhaps the band will play that song when it performs for what will be the final, regularly scheduled dance at the club on April 13 from 8 to 11 p.m. The performance will be the next to the last by the band. “(The dances) aren’t getting the attendance any more,” said club member Louis Drees, of Fort Loramie, whose father, with 69 friends, esthe tablished organization in 1951. The 70 community members each contributed $100 to purchase the Walkup school building. Constructed in 1903, the structure has housed dances, family reunions and graduation parties ever since it stopped serving as a school. The only surviving charter member of the country club is Leo Meyer, said Ken Meyer (no relation), who handles bookings for the organization. “The crowd has thinned,” he echoed Drees in discussing why the decision was made to dis-

The club will host its last monthly dance next week, after 62 years of second-Saturday, liveband events. continue dances, which have taken place at the Walkup every second Saturday of the month for 62 years. “We can’t get people to come.” At the same time, players in the Bruns Orchestra are ready to retire. “We are completely quitting,” Bruns said. His ensemble has been the band of choice at the Walkup for the last 54 years. His players are all family members and include his son-in-law and three cousins. The Bruns Orchestra was started by his great-uncle in the mid-1930s. Five of the current six players have been performing together for 35 years. Ed Menker and his wife, Barbara, are among the dancers who will miss
them. “I don’t know where we’ll go,” Menker, of Pleasant Hill, said. “We used to go to Eldora and that’s gone.” The Menkers travel to the Osgood American Legion for dances on the first and third Saturdays of the month. They also dance on Sundays at the Bavarian House in Deshler, 40 miles north of Lima. They’ll go all the way to Wisconsin soon for three days of ballroom fun. “Some years, we’ve gone to seven different states, dancing. It’s our entertainment,” Menker said. The Walkup dance is open to the public. Admission is $6. A cash bar for beer will be available. People who attend will

Members have no intention of shuttering the building. “We have zumba on Mondays and Wednesdays at 7 p.m. That’s open to the public,” Meyer said. “We still rent it for parties and reunions. We have one or two weddings a year. We’ll still have a dance here or there.” Current officers of the Walkup Country Club are Matt Seger, president; John Meyer, vice president; and Susie Singer, secretary/treasurer.

Antique shop thrives downtown Crow named BY PATRICIA ANN SPEELMAN
to head chapter
How would you like to have an antique steamer trunk that sailed on the legendary ship the Queen Mary and has stickers on it from the White Star Line, the line that sailed the Titanic? Maybe you’d rather have a goofus glass bowl like one your greatgrandfather won at the local county fair for his sweetheart? Or perhaps you’d prefer a tiny Martha Washington sewing cabinet for that empty corner in the bedroom. You can find them all — and more — at Memory Lane Antiques, 128 E. Poplar St. The business has been open for about six months, and, according to owner Betty Johnson, it’s thriving. “December and January were slow,” she said recently, “but February and March were wonderful.” She and her husband, John, of Sidney, opened the store in September, when they realized that learned that the perfect space was available for rent. It is their first business venture and they are already turning a profit. They had been collecting in advance of starting the shop for several years and had accumulated five storage lock-

BETTY JOHNSON, of Sidney, places a goofus glass bowl for sale in Memory Lane Antiques. She and her husband, John, opened the store in September. ers full of antique furniture, china, tools and glasswear. “I had older grandparents and my mother is 90,” Johnson said. “Everything they had, I’ve collected. We spent a lot of time with our grandparents. Family’s everything. If you can grasp a little of your past by seeing things like furniture, it brings back good memories.” The couple frequent estate and auction sales to acquire stock. They sell a few things on eBay and routinely set up as vendors at the monthly antiques markets in Springfield and Urbana in addition to operating the store on the square
in Sidney. Johnson has nothing but praise for her fellow downtown merchants, the Sidney Chamber of Commerce and other antiques dealers. “As you get older, you get cynical about things,” Johnson said when asked what the biggest surprise was about being a business owner, “but everyone’s been so nice. Auctioneers and other dealers come in and give us advice.” It’s something she hadn’t expected. The best advice has been to know the community you’re selling to, she said. “We came in with an idea of what we liked.
Clean-up day planned for downtown Sidney Members of the Downtown Sidney Business Association learned last week that a CleanUp Our Downtown event is set for April 27. DBA Director Maureen Smelewski reported the clean-up day will begin a 9 a.m. Volunteers will meet on the east side of the court square and spread out to clean up the streets, alleys and sidewalks of the downtown area. She said businesses, civic groups and individuals are encouraged to participate in the event. Smelewski reported the Shop/Dine/Work in Historic Downtown Sidney banner is ready and will be used to promote the downtown. It was created by Mark Rigney of MTCS Screen Print. Smelewski also noted more than 500 entries were received for the Easter coloring contest. Coloring sheets will be posted in the front window of the SidneyShelby County Chamber of Commerce office the week of April 8. Businesses are sponsoring flowers for the downtown area again this year. The flowers
will be planted by local Girl Scout troops. New planters of different sizes will be added this year. Smelewski said the Lucky Barrel will be returning to downtown Sidney in April. She said Oct. 18 has been selected for the Downtown Chocolate Walk, with 100 tickets being sold for the event. During reports by DBA members, Mardie Milligan of the Raise the Roof for the Arts group reported the documentary film “FrackNation” will be shown at 2 p.m. Sunday, April 7 at the theater. The showing is
free, but seating is limited. Other upcoming events at the theater are “Footloose” and “Alice in Wonderland.” Tilda Phlipot of the Shelby County Historical Society reported “The Great Flood of 1913: Could it Happen Again?” program is set for this week. Phlipot said she also is working on a Civil War program for Shelby County eighthgrade students. Kent Wolters of The Bridge restaurant reported the upstairs room is nearly ready to be opened to the public and the patio will open when the weather permits.
But we asked the people what they’re looking for,” she added. “We increased the business by paying attention to our customers.” Big sellers have been Sidney memorabilia, marbles and collectible knives. But even unique items mean something to someone. “I can have things in here for two months and not sell it and then just the right person comes in and they’ll like it,” Johnson said. Her specialty is furniture and the shop carries beds, dressers, tables, sideboards and chairs. Her husband knows antique tools. They have learned about glass and china from other dealers. The store also offers costume jewelry, quilts, art prints and miscellaneous smaller antiques. “Our most talkedabout item is the copper wringer-washer,” Johnson said. “Everyone has a story about having one.” Originally from Paintsville, Ky., Johnson has lived in Sidney for 23 years. She and John have two children, Johnathan Braun, a senior at the University of Toledo, and Sarah Braun, a senior at Sidney High School. Memory Lane Antiques is open TuesdayFriday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturday, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. For information, call 492-1014.

New parks superintendent eager to get started NEW BREMEN — New parks superintendent Mike Hibner advised New Bremen Village Council members at a recent meeting that he is eagerly awaiting the arrival of spring weather as he settles into the position. Hibner, who served as groundskeeping supervisor for Crown Equipment Corp. before assuming his new position last month, lives in Coldwater with his wife and four children. He will serve on the new village parks advisory board. Hibner said he is looking forward to the challenge. Other members appointed by Mayor Jeff Pape to the parks board are Kristy Schell, Kathy Trejo, Jerry Huber, either Jeremy Krieg or Gary
Jones from New Bremen schools, a representative from the Barracuda swim team, and council member Dennis Burnell. The first committee meeting was Thursday. The primary focus of Hibner’s position will be Bremenfest Park, Lock One Park, New BremenNew Knoxville Rotary Park and Lions Club Park. Police Chief Doug Harrod announced he will be remaining with the department beyond his announced retirement date, which was March 31, as the village continues its search for his replacement. An open house honoring Harrod was held March 27. Seventeen applications have been received for the chief’s position.
The first series of interviews were conducted this week, with the top three candidates expected to be brought back to meet with council members on Tuesday. Council awarded a contract to Saintignon Excavating of Celina for the Circle Drive sanitary sewer project at a cost of $486,223. Members also discussed the possible purchase of a miniexcavator that would be used on various parts of the Circle Drive project, as well as other projects in the village. No action was taken. The village needs adult applicants for seasonal park employees on an as-needed basis. Council approved the retirement/rehiring of water superintendent Greg Dennings. He will
be paid $26.33 per hour and will be able to collect retirement benefits. The purchase of a truck-mounted leaf collector from Best Equipment of Indianapolis was approved at a cost of $93,458. members Council thanked Ruth Ann Schwieterman for donating 60 red and black New Bremen flags to the village.

I could add additional anti-alcohol facts, but I think you get my point.

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 Monday, April 8, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) It’s your turn to recharge your batteries for the rest of the year, because it’s your birthday month! Let good things come your way. Enjoy this opportunity. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) This is the best time all year to strategize what you want your new year (birthday to birthday) to be all about. What do you want for yourself? Be specific. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Talk to others about your hopes and dreams for the future, because their feedback will help you. You’re enjoying a nice popularity, and others are interested in what you have to say. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) The Sun is so flattering on you right now that people are coming to you with offers or asking you to take on more responsibility. Trust this flattering light, and say yes. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Travel for pleasure is at hand. However, do explore opportunities in publishing, the media, higher education, medicine and the law, because they exist. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) This is a good time to ask for a loan or a mortgage, or decide how to divide something with others. People are generous to you now. (The universe owes you a favor.) LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) It’s only natural that your focus is on
friendships and partnerships right now with four planets sitting directly opposite you. This is your chance to deepen important bonds. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Act on your urge to get better organized at work and at home, because it isn’t always this easy. You’re gung-ho to work! (Use this to your advantage.) SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Life feels happy now because you’re comfortable in your own skin. You know you don’t have to pretend to be anything that you aren’t. Such freedom! CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Relations with family members, especially parents, are significant now. Renovations and chaos at home also are challenging, but good feelings abound. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Your communication skills are fantastic right now. Make the most of this if you write, edit, act, teach, sell, market or talk for a living. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Many of you are asking yourself, What really matters in life? You’re struggling with your basic values. This is good. If you don’t know what matters, how do you know what kind of decisions to make? YOU BORN TODAY You are an idealist with strong ethics. Naturally, you have a social conscience and your line of work often reflects this. Although you are often in the limelight, you do not seek it. The welfare of others is your highest concern, which is why you advocate social reform. In the year ahead, an important decision might arise. Choose wisely.

Following a public hearing recently, Shelby County Commissioners voted to proceed with petitioned work on the Hershey Ditch in the southwestern part of the county. About a dozen people at-
tended the hearing, during which Bob Geuy, county engineer, presented an overview of the project, which is the result of a petition. Commission Clerk Pamela Steinke said Geuy estimated the cost of the
project at $231,032. Geuy is expected to have a final estimate and other information on the project by Aug. 30. Commissioners will then put the project out for bids. Property owners will be assessed for the
cost of the ditch improvements. Commissioners also met with Tom Bey, director of the Job and Family Services. He had questions concerning his plan to update the agency’s policy handbook.

HOROSCOPE BY FRANCES DRAKE For Sunday, April 7, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You feel happy and content with the world today because so much seems to be going your way. And indeed, it is. Alphabetize your blessings. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Don’t promise more than you can deliver in monetary terms to someone in a group situation today. No matter how good something looks, don’t pledge more than you’re willing to give. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You may be viewed as overly extravagant today or as someone who is going overboard in some way. Be careful, because the people who view you are those in authority — bosses, parents, teachers and the police. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Travel plans look exciting! But are they doable? It’s also wonderful to feel enthusiastic about publishing, higher education, the media, medicine and the law. Nevertheless, keep your feet on the ground. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) If dividing or sharing something today, don’t give away the farm. Alternatively, don’t demand more than your fair share. It’s easy to skew things out of proportion today. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) You feel warm and friendly toward loved ones today, which is why close relationships and partnerships will flow smoothly. Each seems to be looking out for the best for the other. It’s a mutually beneficial situation. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Things will go smoothly at work today, but just make sure you don’t take on more than you can handle. Only agree to realistic deadlines, then you look good. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) You might overdo things partying or attending social functions today. Keep this in mind, because there is always the piper to pay — one way or the other. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Enjoy entertaining at home. For some reason, more people might show up when you don’t expect them. Hot tip: Stock the fridge. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Your ability to think positively will make your day today. In fact, enthusiasm is contagious, which is why others are attracted to you now. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Your moneymaking ideas look great. But be suspicious of something that looks better than it is. Nevertheless, grab the baton and run with it. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Today you feel positive, confident and extravagant. It’s not a working day, it’s a play day! (Take a long lunch or leave work early.) YOU BORN TODAY You are energetic, imaginative and forthright about going after what you want. Others find you enthusiastic and eager (if you’re up for something). Many of you are spiritual seekers. You value family and strive to be reliable, but sometimes this is challenging. You believe in yourself. In the year ahead, your primary focus will be on partnerships and close friendships.

Because the noise level is so high you can’t hear the lecture, I have two suggestions: The first is to speak privately with the teacher. And if that doesn’t do the trick, when the students around you become disruptive, ask them to pipe down so you can hear what the instructor is saying. That is not being bossy. You paid for the class and you should get your money’s worth. DEAR ABBY: My husband and I often go out to eat at local ethnic restaurants with a small group of friends. When we’re at a Mexican
restaurant, I often throw a couple of “arribas!” into our conversation. When we’re at an Italian restaurant, I will sometimes use an Italian accent to say “pizza pie-a!” My husband tells me it’s offensive. I don’t mean to insult anyone. My comments are made in the spirit of fun. Furthermore, the owners and servers at these restaurants are hardly ethnic Mexicans or Italians. I would never wish to hurt someone or be derogatory, so I told my husband I’d consult you. What do you think? — MUY CALIENTE IN IOWA DEAR MUY CALIENTE: When you visit a Jewish deli do you tell the server, “Oy vey, I’ll have the corned beef ”? Your husband is right — cool it. Not because you’ll offend the servers in the restaurant, but because stereotyping makes you look like a fool.

UNIONTOWN, Pa. (AP) — A former Pennsylvania jail inmate says he didn’t sneak a cellphone into the lockup in his prosthetic leg, though he acknowledged having it for a year as he pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct. Instead, 28-year-old Christopher Greer, of Uniontown, tells a judge the phone was in his cargo shorts when he reported in 2011 to serve a sentence for driving on a suspended license. Greer says he kept the phone because inmates at the Fayette County lockup 40 miles south of Pittsburgh must pay $4 per call. Greer pleaded guilty Tuesday, but the warden doesn’t believe Greer smuggled the phone in either his pocket or his leg, as county detectives charged. Brian Miller says both would have been searched too thoroughly for that.

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

In our hearts your memory lingers, sweetly tender, fond and true. There is not a day, dear Mother/Father, that we do not think of you. Thank you for loving and sharing, for giving and for caring. God bless you and keep you, until we meet again. Your life was a blessing, your memory a treasure. You are loved beyond words and missed beyond measure. Those we love we never lose, for always they will be, loved remembered, treasured, always in our memory. It broke our hearts to lose you, but you did not go alone. For part of us went with you, the day God called you home. My heart still aches in sadness, my silent tears still flow. For what it meant to lose you, no one will ever know. Memory is a lovely lane, where hearts are ever true. A lane I so often travel down, because it leads to you. Oh how we wish he/she was here today, to see all the blessings we have. Yet somehow you know that he/she is guiding us on our paths. Tenderly we treasure the past with memories that will always last. Remembering you on this day, comforted by so many memories. In the hearts of those who loved you, you will always be there. If love could have saved you, you would have lived forever. . Loved always, sadly missed. Forever remembered, forever missed. Suffer little children to come unto me.

OUTDOORS Maumee River Water conditions Temp: 46 °F Level: The water level is below normal and falling. Bluegrass Island is accessible at this time. The water clarity is good. Fishing Effort: high Fish being caught Walleye fishing is good with a few limits being caught. Anglers are catching some large fish. Best baits Most anglers use a floating jig head fished on an 18-24-inch leader with a 1/4 to 1/2 oz. weight depending on the water current. Anglers seem to have the best success tipping the jig head with a twister tail of white or chartreuse color. Best locations Fish are being caught in all areas, but the most productive area is between Orleans Park and Ft. Meigs. Outlook The walleye run should peak later this week with air temperatures predicted to increase into the 50's and 60’s. Comments Do not keep any walleye shorter than 15 inches. Please take a ruler with you.
Sandusky River Water conditions Temp: 46 °F Level: The Sandusky River water level is low and falling. The water clarity is fair. Fishing Effort: medium Fish being caught Walleye fishing is good. Best baits Most anglers use a floating jig head fished on an 18-24" leader with a 1/4 to 1/2 oz. weight depending on the water current. Anglers seem to have the best success tipping the jig head with a twister tail of white or chartreuse color. Best locations The best area to try is around the Miles Newton bridge. Outlook The bite is picking up as water temperatures rise. ——
Reminders • Black bass season is closed to possession, from May 1 through the last Friday in June (June 28, 2013); any caught must be released immediately unharmed. Black bass are protected by a 14-inch minimum length limit at all times. • Walleye have a 15inch minimum size limit for the entire season. • Walleye daily bag
limit is four (4) from March 1 through April 30. Daily bag limits for walleye will be set on May 1 of each year. A special publication announcing the new daily limits for walleye will be available at Wildlife District offices, the web site and license outlets. ——
White bass fishing forecast River Spawning of White Bass — White bass migrate up most of the Western Basin tributaries from Lake Erie each year to spawn. The Sandusky, Maumee, and Portage rivers typically have the most white bass moving up in the spring. White bass may be found in the rivers from mid-April, toward the end of the walleye spawning run, through early June. The peak of the run is usually some time in midMay when water reach temperatures around 55 degrees F. The Maumee and Sandusky Rivers usually have the best fishing for white bass, but some years the Portage and Huron rivers also have good runs. Predictions for 2013 — The 2013 white bass spawning runs up these rivers are expected to be good, if river conditions are good. The majority of white bass will range from 8 to 13 inches in size. Most of these fish will be from the strong 2007 year class, with the 2009, 2006, and 2005 year classes also contributing. Some larger white bass, up to 16 inches from the 2003 year class, will be caught. Fishing Tips — The best fishing area for the Maumee River is from the Conant Street Bridge, in the city of Maumee, upstream to the end of Jerome Road, in Wood County, and below the Grand Rapids-Providence Dam in Lucas County. In the Sandusky River, the best fishing area is from the State Street Bridge in Fremont, upstream to the Ballville Dam; however, the area on the Sandusky River from the Ballville Dam to the Toledo Edison power line (Old Ballville and Fifth Street line) located at the southeast corner of Roger Young Park (in the City of Fremont) is closed to all fishing from March 1 to May 1. In the Portage River, the best area is generally from just above Oak Harbor to the entrance of Sugar Creek. In the Huron River, try fishing from Mason Road to the Ohio Turnpike.

The night of free camping will be available at 54 campgrounds within Ohio State Parks on Thursday, April 18. “I want to encourage Ohioans to start their weekend early by camping at one of our Ohio State Parks campgrounds for free,” said ODNR Director James Zehringer. “This is an excellent opportunity for families to explore new parts of Ohio and find out what is available within our state parks system.”

Open house set for April 13 at St. Marys Fish Hatchery ST. MARYS — Anglers have the chance to see fish hatchery operations firsthand when the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) hosts an open house on Saturday, April 13, from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. at St. Marys State Fish Hatchery. The event is free and open to the public. “We are excited for people to see how a state fish hatchery operates,” said ODNR Director James Zehringer. “We want to inform people about what we are doing to keep Ohio’s fish populations healthy and thriving.” A number of activities will be held to entertain kids, including a free youth fishing event hosted by the ODNR Division of Wildlife and
held in conjunction with Ohio State Parks and the Auglaize County Pheasants Forever chapter. All bait will be provided. Fishing poles are available, and attendees are encouraged to bring their own fishing poles. Anglers between the ages of 16 and 17 must have a valid Ohio fishing license. Anglers under age 16 are not required to purchase a fishing license in Ohio. In addition to the youth fishing event, other youth activities will include: • Opportunities to view the electrofishing boat • Archery activities for youth in attendance • An interactive wildlife learning area featuring Ohio’s bald eagles.
Walleye, saugeye, largemouth bass, yellow perch and channel catfish are raised at St. Marys State Fish Hatchery by the ODNR Division of Wildlife, and these fish are stocked in more than 78 reservoirs and lakes throughout Ohio. The hatchery also provides 8,000 pounds of fathead minnows, which are used as forage food for muskellunge raised at the London and Kincaid state fish hatcheries. The St. Marys Fish Hatchery collected more than 50 million walleye and saugeye eggs from the Maumee River in 2012 and produced 8.3 million walleye fry and 8.4 million saugeye fry. Production efforts also resulted in 3.2 million saugeye fingerlings, 1.2
million walleye fingerlings, 371,381 yellow perch fingerlings, 89,000 channel catfish yearlings and more than 4,000 catchable channel catfish. St. Marys State Fish Hatchery is located at 01735 Feeder Road, St. Marys, Ohio 45885. To learn more about the open house, call 937-3729261. Find more information about all six of Ohio’s state fish hatcheries at wildohio.com. The sales of fishing licenses, along with the Sport Fish Restoration (SFR) program, continue to fund the operation of the ODNR Division of Wildlife’s fish hatcheries. No state tax dollars are used for this activity. This is a userpay, user-benefit program.
Info, changes for spring turkey hunters

Spring fishing The air was still a little cool, but Susan Funderburg (left) and her son Austin, both of Troy, couldn’t wait any longer to get in some fishing Friday at Lake Loramie State Park.
Tawawa Lake to receive rainbow trout on April 18 COLUMBUS — More than 98,000 rainbow trout will be released this spring at 63 Ohio public lakes and ponds. The first release was on March 1, at Adams Lake in Adams County, according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR). Sidney will receive some of the trout. Tawawa Lake in Tawawa Park is again on the list of public ponds or lakes to be stocked. The release of the trout in the local lake is set for April 18. Also on the list is Davis Lake in Auglaize County, on April 19, and Schoonover and Lima Lake in Allen County. Rainbow trout releases will take place between March 1 and May 3, and the stocking of these public lakes and ponds are excellent opportunities for families to fish together. Fishing for catchable-sized trout
is a great way to introduce young people to the outdoors. Rainbow trout are raised at state fish hatcheries and are 1013 inches before they are released by the ODNR Division of Wildlife. The daily catch limit for inland lakes is five trout. Some locations will feature special angler events, including youth-only fishing, on the day of the scheduled trout release. Contact the nearest wildlife district office for specific information. Additional information about trout releases is available at wildohio.com or by calling 800-WILDLIFE. Anglers age 16 and older must have an Ohio fishing license to fish state public waters. The 2013-2014 fishing license is available now and is valid through Feb. 28, 2014. An annual resident fishing li-
cense costs $19. A one– day fishing license costs $11 for residents and non-residents. The oneday license may also be redeemed for credit toward the purchase of an annual fishing license. Ohio residents born on or before Dec. 31, 1937, may obtain a free fishing license where licenses are sold. Persons age 66 and older who were born on or after Jan. 1, 1938, and have resided in Ohio for the past six months are eligible to purchase the reduced-cost resident senior license for $10.
Hunters must still report their harvest of turkeys but they are no longer required to take their turkey to a check station for physical inspection. Hunters will have three options to complete the automated game check: • On the Internet at wildohio.com or ohiogamecheck.com • By telephone at 1877-TAG-ITOH (1-877824-4864) - This option is only available to those who are required to purchase a turkey permit to hunt turkeys. • At all license agents Game-check transactions will be available online and by telephone seven days a week and during holidays. Tagging process — The first thing hunters should be aware of is that their permits no longer contain temporary or permanent tags to detach and affix to the carcasses. Instead every successful hunter will have to make a game tag to attach to the animal, just like landowners have always done. The game tag should contain the hunter’s name and the date, time and county of harvest. This information will also need to be filled out on the hunter’s permit. After the hunter completes the automated game check process, an 18digit confirmation number will be provided. That number needs to be recorded on the permit.

REPLAY 50 years ago April 6 1963 Sidney’s baseballers were held to a scoreless deadlock by the Bellefontaine Chieftains in an eight-inning dual at Custenborder Field Friday. Greg Rickey turned in a good starting performance on the mound for the Jackets, limiting the visitors to four bingles. Rickey fanned 12 of the Chieftains while giving up only three walks.
25 years ago April 6, 1988 The Jackson Center girls scored 42 points and the 1600 relay team led the way with a first in 4:48.78. Kendra Brunson, who was on that team, had seconds in both the 200 and 400 and a third in the 100. Tawnee Brackey was second in the long jump and second in the 800.
10 years ago April 6, 2003 Fourteen-year-old Cory Salsbury has a lot of confidence in his casting ability. The Bridgeview Middle School student has been nearly unbeatable in the B.A.S.S. Federation’s CastingKids competition over the past five years or so, and he recently won the state championship during the Cleveland Sports Show.

Reds bomb Nats 15-0 CINCINNATI (AP) — Todd Frazier and Zack Cozart each homered twice, and the Reds hit six in all — including Xavier Paul’s pinch grand slam — while sending the Washington Nationals to their first loss of the season, 15-0 on Friday night. Washington was the last major league team without a loss. The Reds improved to 3-1 even though their top hitters haven’t done much. Cincinnati has nine homers in the last two games, but none by Joey Votto or Jay Bruce. Dan Haren (0-1) had a rough time in his Nationals debut, giving up four homers and six runs in four innings. The right-hander signed a one-year, $13 million deal in the offseason, joining a formidable pitching staff that allowed only one run during the first three games of the season. Homer Bailey (1-0) gave up two hits in six scoreless innings. The right-hander hasn’t allowed a run in his last 19 regular-season innings, a streak that includes his nohitter in Pittsburgh on Sept.

CINCINNATI REDS’ Zack Cozart (2) is congratulated by Joey Votto (19) after Cozart hit a three-run home run off Washington Nationals starting pitcher Dan Haren in the third inning of a baseball game Friday in Cincinnati. It was the second home run of the game for Cozart. 28. He gave up a run during the playoffs. The series matches the NL’s top two teams from last season. Washington led with 98 wins, followed by the Reds with 97. The teams have a history of close games — four of their last eight had gone to extra-innings.
This one quickly turned into a rout in one of the majors’ most homer-friendly ballparks. The Reds hit connected in every way — three solo shots, a two-run homer, a three-run homer and a grand slam. Cincinnati had 19 hits, including a single by reliever

QUOTE OF THE DAY “I don’t care what level of baseball you’re at, that first (win) is the toughest one to get.” —Toronto Blue Jays manager John Gibbons, after his team beat the Indians Thursday
ON THIS DATE IN 1947 — Jimmy Demaret wins the Masters for the second time with two-stroke victory over Byron Nelson and Frank Stranahan. 1952 — Sam Snead wins his second Masters, beating Jack Burke Jr. by four shots. 1987 — Sugar Ray Leonard returns to the ring after a threeyear layoff to upset Marvelous Marvin Hagler in a 12-round split decision for the middleweight title, becoming boxing's 10th triple champion.
Manny Parra. The Reds finished with more homers than the Nationals had hits (5). Frazier hit a solo shot into the upper deck in the second inning. On the next pitch, Cozart broke his 0-for-11 slump to start the season with a homer that a fan caught at the top of the wall in left field. Nationals manager Davey Johnson talked to the umpires about fan interference, but they declined to review it and stuck with the call. It would be that kind of a night for the Nationals. Cozart hit a three-run homer off Haren in the third, giving him two homers in three pitches from the righthander. It was his first career multihomer game. Shin-Soo Choo added a solo homer in the fourth that barely cleared the wall in center as a fan reached to catch it. Johnson asked for a review of that one and got it. Three minutes, 39 seconds later, the umpires upheld their call. Cozart got his career-high fifth RBI on a sacrifice fly. Frazier added a two-run homer in the seventh, his third in two games.
Sidney scored six times in the bottom of the second but that was the only inning for any runs in a 12-6 loss to Mechanicsburg in high school softball Friday at Sidney. By the time the Lady Jackets scored those runs, Mechanicsburg had already put eight runs up, including seven in the top of the second. For Sidney, Bri Wells had a double and drove in three runs, Macy Homan had a single and a triple, and Courtney Phelps had a double.

He struck out five. “Connor has been very good for us offensively and we aren’t bad when we play defense behind him on the mound.” Echols did damage at the plate as well, going 3-for-3 with a double and two RBIs. Layne Sharp singled and doubled, Ryan Penley drove in three runs, and Bobby Benshoff and Sammy Niswonger both doubled. For the Redskins, who are now 1-2, Ty Frilling and Rittenhouse both doubled.
HOUSTON — Houston trailed 4-1 at one point but rallied back to beat the Minster Lady Wildcats in high school girls softball action here Friday, 9-5. The win put the Houston girls at 4-1 on the season heading to Fort Loramie for a big County game on Monday. Minster drops to 1-2 on the year and is back in action today at Delphos Jefferson in a doubleheader. Houston got a run in the first but Minster struck for four in the third. Houston got two in the fourth but Minster scored a run in the fifth to make it a 5-3 game. In the sixth, however, Houston scored four times, then added two more in the seventh.

Coach says SHS grad Schriber ‘an inspiration’ Dinzeo
Roeth
Great week for Monnier at Wilmington Things couldn’t have gone much better for Houston grad and Wilmington College ace pitcher Danielle Monnier this week. It started out with a one-hit, 4-0 shutout of Heidelberg in women’s softball. She struck out eight in the first game of a doubleheader. In the second game, she came on in relief and pitched 11/3 innings of one-hit, no-run ball to earn a save. She followed that up with a four-hit shutout of Franklin, striking out three and walking two, then got another win in relief in the second game of a doubleheader, working 31/3 innings, not allowing a run and giving up just two hits. On the season, she is 7-1 with a 0.88 earned run average. She has worked 632/3 innings, allowed just 34 hits, has struck out 64, walked 22 and given up just 11 runs, eight earned. Aaron Dinzeo, Sidney Dinzeo set a new school record at California University of Pennsylvania last week in placing 11th in the 5,000 meters at the North Carolina State Raleigh Relays. He posted the fastest time in NCAA Division II and provisionally qualified for the NCAA Championships with a time of 13:58.37. That broke the school record by 0.14 seconds. Allison Roeth, Houston Roeth is a freshman distance runner at Ohio University, and last weekend in the Winthrop Invitational in South Carolina, she was fourth in the 3,000-meter steeplechase in 11:50.45.

SIDNEY HIGH School graduate Molly Schriber eyes the basket on a free throw attempt during the women’s basketball season. She worked through rehab to return to the court. coach Nick Spell to juggle his lineup. It pushed freshman Julie Cross into the starting lineup. “Molly is a true teammate,” said Spell. “Despite being limited physically, she still maintained a mental connection with our team and with Julie.” Cross responded by finishing second in the conference with 125 saves. “I was overjoyed with the way Julie played,” praised Schriber. “When I was a freshman, I was
scared beyond belief, but I had an upperclassman to lean on. She really stepped up for our team.” Schriber continued her ankle rehabilitation through the soccer season and into basketball season. After a close loss early in the season, Schriber suffered a hand injury, delaying her return to the court and forcing women’s basketball coach Marcie Alberts to realign her lineup. “Molly plays with an
edge,” said Alberts. “Her tenacity is something that every coach wants to see in her players.” By the time her hand had healed, Schriber’s ankle was ready to go. She started back with action in junior varsity games. “It felt so good to get back out there and contribute, I didn’t care that it was JV,” she said. Schriber’s teammates took notice, too. “Molly is such an outspoken leader and a great role model,” said sophomore Christina Neal. Like Schriber, Neal plays soccer and basketball for the Student Princes. “Everyone on both teams has total respect for her because of how much she cares about the team.” While Schriber only played in a handful of games this season, her leadership on the court was vital to the success of the team. In the waning moments of a 78-75 win over Muskingum, Schriber was called on to take free throws for an injured teammate. Despite missing the first, she calmly made the second. “Molly is a presence in our program, just like she is for soccer,” said Alberts. “Her journey through the injuries and rehabs should serve as inspiration for the student-athletes of Heidelberg.”

Editor’s Note: The following story was featured on the Heidelberg University website, and is re-printed here with permission. —— For Heidelberg student-athlete Molly Schriber, a Sidney High graduate, life has been full of twists and turns. Some twists and turns have come and gone with little fanfare. Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case with her ankle. “May 2, 2012, 6:25 p.m.,” said the senior, matter-of-factly. “It was the last five minutes of a basketball open gym. I split the lane, my ankle came down, rolled out, then in.” Schriber, who plays soccer and basketball for Heidelberg, was originally diagnosed with a sprained ankle. She was confident she would be ready to go for the soccer season. “The day before preseason started for soccer, I got a call from my doctor,” said Schriber. “He said it was a no-go. The ligaments in my ankle didn’t heal properly. I had surgery that week.” For Schriber, an AllOAC goalkeeper, the news was tough to take. “I love the competitive nature of sports, so missing that season was tough,” she said. Schriber’s absence forced women’s soccer

DRIVER JIMMIE Johnson climbs out of his car during qualifying for Sunday's NASCAR Sprint Cup auto race at Martinsville Speedway in Martinsville, Va., Friday. Johnson won the pole for the race.
Johnson on pole at Martinsville MARTINSVILLE, Va. (AP) — Jimmie Johnson knew he had a fast car the minute he pulled it onto the track at Martinsville Speedway. The seven-time winner on NASCAR’s shortest, trickiest track backed it up in qualifying with a track record. Johnson made his fastest lap around the 0.526-mile oval at 98.400 mph Friday, leading a parade of six drivers who broke Tony Stewart’s track record speed of 98.083 mph. It is Johnson’s 30th career pole, and third in 23 starts at Martinsville. “That’s the icing on the cake,” Johnson said when told of the record. “That makes the day even better yet. Track records are hard to come by, so I’m very proud of that and happy to have that.” Once he figured out how fast his car was, Johnson said, “I just needed to do my job and not mess up.” The pole position is coveted at Martinsville as much as anywhere because pit road is tight, and the spot at the front
of pit road gives the driver unencumbered access to the track. It is essentially the automatic stall selection of the pole sitter. “If you get behind or if you’re off-strategy or if you have any reason that leads you to lose track position, that pit stall is worth three to five positions on the race track,” Johnson said. “It’s a big, big advantage from that perspective.” Five other drivers also eclipsed Stewart’s mark on a cooling, later afternoon surface, led by Marcos Ambrose at 98.364. Ambrose arrived 23rd in points after five races, and hopes the strong showing turns into momentum. “Yeah, it can turn us around, no doubt,” Ambrose said. “We proved today that if we get our stuff right we can do it. We’ve just got to get some momentum and get some confidence back. Our little team is a tough team, but we’ve been knocked around pretty good. It’s like we’ve gone nine rounds with Mike Tyson, but we’re coming back strong here.”
