Program to provide alternative Treatment over jail for defendants with substance abuse, mental health issues BY TOM BARNETT tbarnett@sdnccg.com Sidney Municipal Court and Shelby County Counseling Center Inc. on Thursday unveiled a grant-funded diversion program designed to provide treatment in lieu of jail for defendants with mental health and substance abuse issues. Details of the program were revealed during a noon meeting at the counseling center attended by court staff, law enforcement and corrections officials, county, city and mental health representatives, as well as social services and other public awareness agencies. Municipal Court Judge Duane Goettemoeller and Linda Newman, probation officer, welcomed participants to the meeting and Goettemoeller introduced Counseling Center director Ken Ward who explained the
new program. The $312,500 Justice Mental Health Collaboration Grant Diversion Project is being funded with a $250,000 Department of Justice, Office of Justice Programs Justice and Mental Health Collaboration grant over two years with in-kind matches of $54,000 from the counseling center and $8,500 in municipal court funds. It is designed, as Judge Goettemoeller first told participants, to provide court sentencing alternatives to individuals with drug/mental health issues. Ward emphasized the need for such a program by telling listeners 10,260 of Ohio’s 64,123 jail prisoners in 2011 were seriously mentally ill. Issues included bipolar disorder, major depression, schizophrenia and drug addiction. Ward said secondary support of the new program will be provided by law enforce-
ment and corrections, the TriCounty Board of Recovery and Mental Health Services, the primary health care community and the University of Cincinnati’s Center for criminal Justice Research. Participants in the program must be residents of Shelby County at least 18 years of age diagnosed with a severe mental illness and/or a co-occurring substance abuse disorder. They must have faced, or could be facing, criminal charges in municipal court for a misdemeanor or felony that is a non-violent offense. Priority is to be given females involved in the justice system with mental illness or co-occurring mental health and substance abuse disorders. Ward said the program will be limited to 15 participants at a time and about 75 participants per year. Project team members inSee PROGRAM/Page 2A
WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. job market took a breather in March after its best hiring stretch since the Great Recession. Employers added 120,000 jobs last month — half the December-February pace and well short of the 210,000 economists were expecting. The unemployment rate fell from 8.3 percent in February to 8.2 percent, the lowest since January 2009, but that was largely because many Americans stopped looking for work. Still, few economists expect hiring to fizzle in spring and summer, as it did the past two years. And they blamed seasonal factors for much of Friday’s disappointing report from the Labor Department. “We don’t think this is the start of another spring dip in labor market conditions,” said Paul Ashworth, chief U.S. economist with Capital EcoSee HIRING/Page 5A

5 indicted in woman’s Former head willing to return dismemberment BY ANN SANNER Associated Press
BY BARBARA RODRIGUEZ Associated Press COLUMBUS (AP) — The live-in boyfriend of a western Ohio woman whose dismembered remains were found in her bathtub has been indicted on aggravated murder and other charges. The Champaign County grand jury indicted Matthew Puccio and four others Thursday on charges related to the March death of 21year-old Jessica Rae Sacco. Andrew and Kandace Forney of Fenton, Mich., and Christopher Wright and Sharon Cook of Urbana, Ohio, also were indicted in the case. Police say they stood by and did nothing as Sacco was killed and helped Puccio cut off or transport limbs. Puccio, 25, is accused of stabbing Sacco, placing a plastic bag over her head to suffocate her and dismembering her in their Urbana duplex apartment. Police say some of her limbs were dumped in southwest Ohio and Kentucky, about 70 to 85 miles away. Her landlord found other remains in the bathtub on March 30, eight days after authorities believe she died. Puccio could face up to life in prison if convicted. The suspects appeared briefly Friday in court, where a judge said they would receive court-appointed attorneys; a new hearing was set for Tuesday. Puccio was initially being held in the Tri-County Re-

The others were being held at the jail on bonds of $50,000 each. Their attorneys did not immediately return telephone messages seeking comment. Puccio has said Sacco begged him to kill her after he confronted her about text messages she’d sent saying she wanted him dead. Sacco had lived in California in recent years. Puccio said they had been together for about a year and a half and that the relationship started going sour about two months ago. Along with aggravated murder charges, Puccio faces charges of felonious assault, felony gross abuse of a corpse and misdemeanor abuse of a corpse, tampering with evidence and possession of criminal tools. Andrew Forney, 26, is charged with gross abuse of a corpse and abuse of a corpse, tampering with and complic-
ity to tamper with evidence, obstructing justice, failure to report a crime and possession of criminal tools. His wife, 25, is charged with obstructing justice, failure to report a crime, possession of criminal tools and complicity to tampering with evidence. Wright, 37, is charged with gross abuse of a corpse and abuse of corpse, tampering with evidence, obstructing justice and failure to report a crime. Cook, 25, is charged with failure to report a crime, complicity to gross abuse of a corpse and to abuse of a corpse, complicity to tampering with evidence and complicity to obstructing justice. Urbana police Chief Matt Lingrell has said Puccio and Sacco recently met the Forneys online and that the members of the group were “loose friends.” Investigators haven’t commented on a motive for the killing.

COLUMBUS (AP) — The longest-serving chairman in the history of the Ohio Republican Party said Friday that he’s willing to return to the job, as party infighting has led its current chairman to announce his resignation. Former state chairman Bob Bennett said in a letter to the party’s governing body that his decades of experience could help to unite the party’s focus during a high-stakes presidential election year. No Republican has ever won the White House without winning the battleground state of Ohio. “Although I am certainly not seeking another career as chairman, I do understand the urgent need to bring all of us together for the huge task ahead,” Bennett told the 66member state central committee. Current Chairman Kevin DeWine has announced he will step down next week amid feuding with Republican Gov. John Kasich about control over the party. Kasich’s allies had recruited a slate of chal-
lengers to the party’s state central committee, who they had believed would support DeWine’s ouster at their meeting on April 13. Seeking to avoid what he said would be a “party-splitting dispute,” announced DeWine Wednesday night that he’ll step aside at the meeting and preside over the election of his successor by the committee. Bennett, who served as chairman from 1988 until 2009, said he had been approached by many GOP members about coming back to the job to calm tensions within the party that had been bubbling since the 2010 elections. said he Bennett largely stayed out of the spat between Kasich and DeWine and tried to keep the lines of communication open between them. “This was not good for the party,” he said in a telephone interview. “I’m a party guy. Forty years in this business and I know how you can destroy a party with the intraparty fights. And my whole thing was to try to resolve the differences.” Bennett said it was DeWine’s choice to resign, a decision he com-

He the GOP’s oversaw 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. DeWine will remain a member of the party’s state central committee, and he plans to continue raising money for the GOP as a member of the national party’s finance committee.

Refugees describes horrors Turkey REYHANLI, (AP) — After days of relentless shelling and sniper attacks, thousands of Syrian refugees streamed across the border into Turkey with horrific accounts Friday of mass graves, massacres and burned-out homes. The latest reports of escalating violence fueled accusations that President Bashar Assad is rushing to stamp out as much of the year-old uprising as he can before a U.N.-brokered cease-fire next week. The trigger for the new waves of refugees was an offensive in Idlib province, which borders Turkey and has become increasingly rebellious against the Assad regime. Activists reported about 100 dead in the villages of Taftanaz and Killi in recent days.
Void left by coup NIAMEY, Niger (AP) — Al-Qaida militants and other Islamist fighters are descending on northern Mali in the chaotic aftermath of a military coup, creating a potential haven for terrorists in a part of the Sahara bristling with heavy weapons looted from Libya. Tuareg rebels declared an independent state in the region on Friday amid a power vacuum in the north created by the president’s March 21 ouster. The rapidly unfolding events are turning the area, which the Tuaregs now call the Azawad nation, into a magnet for jihadists, much like Afghanistan was when the Taliban took power 15 years ago. Witnesses in northern Mali and those who have fled to neighboring Niger say they have seen fighters from Algeria, Mauritania and Nigeria in the past week. In the late 1990s, terrorism training camps were set up in Afghanistan, where alQaida was able to operate openly and plot attacks largely unhindered. Now experts warn that Mali, a vast and impoverished Saharan nation in northwest Africa, could play a similar role.

My dog ate my 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.

Navy jet crashes into apartments BY ZINIE CHEN SAMPSON Associated Press VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (AP) — A fighter jet that malfunctioned just after takeoff hurtled into a Virginia Beach apartment complex on Friday in a spectacular crash that sent flames and black smoke billowing from the rubble. The two pilots managed to eject just before impact, suffering minor injuries along with five others on the ground. Several residents described hearing a loud explosion and looking out their windows to see the red and orange blaze. In the confusion that followed, two men helped one of the bloodied pilots from the two-seat F18 Hornet move to safety. “Oh, my God, I heard three really loud explosions, then the black smoke went up high in the sky,” said 71-year-old Felissa Ezell, who lives in a townhouse near the crash site. By evening, emergency crews were searching through the charred remains of the complex, where some 40 apartment units were damaged or destroyed. No fatalities had been reported. Seven people, including the pilots from nearby Naval Air Station Oceana, were taken to a hospital. All except one of the pilots were released by late afternoon. Virginia Beach Fire Department Capt. Tim Riley said more than two dozen residents remained unaccounted for, although all but the six most damaged apartments had been searched. “What I’m praying for, what I’m thinking about now is that we don’t find any more victims,” Virginia Beach Mayor Will Sessoms told reporters. The plane had dumped loads of fuel before crashing, though it wasn’t clear if that was because of a malfunction or an intentional maneuver by the pilots, said Capt. Mark Weisgerber with U.S. Fleet Forces Command. The jet went down less

VIRGINIA BEACH firefighters work the scene of a jet crash Friday in Virginia Beach, Va. Two Navy pilots ejected from a fighter jet, sending the unmanned plane careening into a Virginia Beach apartment complex and tearing the roof off at least one building that was engulfed in flames, officials said. than 10 miles from Oceana. Bruce Nedelka, the Virginia Beach EMS division chief, said witnesses saw fuel being dumped from the jet before it went down, and that fuel was found on buildings and vehicles in the area. The plane not having as much fuel on board “mitigated what could have been an absolute massive, massive fireball and fire,” Nedelka said. “With all of that jet fuel dumped, it was much less than what it could have been.” The crash happened in the Hampton Roads area, which has a large concentration of military bases, including Naval Station Norfolk, the largest naval base in the world. Naval Air Station Oceana, where the F/A-18D that crashed was assigned, is located in Virginia Beach. Both the pilots were from Virginia Beach, Weisgerber said. The pilots included a student and an instructor. Weisgerber said he did not know how many times the student pilot
had been in the air, but that the instructor was “extremely experienced.” Dozens of police cars, fire trucks and other emergency vehicles filled the densely populated neighborhood where the plane crashed. Yellow fire hoses snaked through side streets as fire crews poured water on the charred rooftops of brick apartment houses. By late afternoon, the fire had been put out. Residents of the apartment complex described a confusing scene and an apologetic pilot. Colby Smith said his house started shaking and then the power went out, as he saw a red and orange blaze outside his window. He ran outside, where he saw billowing black smoke and then came upon the pilot as he ran to a friend’s home. “I saw the parachute on the house and he was still connected to it, and he was laying on the ground with his face full of blood,” Smith told WVEC-TV.
Study ties oil, gas production to Midwest earthquakes BY MALCOLM RITTER Associated Press NEW YORK (AP) — Oil and gas production may explain a sharp increase in small earthquakes in the nation’s midsection, a new study from the U.S. Geological Survey suggests. The rate has jumped six-fold from the late 20th century through last year, the team reports, and the changes are “almost certainly man-made.” Outside experts were split in their opinions about the report, which is not yet published but is due to be presented at a meeting later this month. The study said a relatively mild increase starting in 2001 comes from increased quake activity in a methane production area along the state line between Colorado and New Mexico. The increase began about the time that methane production began there, so there’s a “clear possibility” of a link, says lead author William Ellsworth of the USGS. The increase over the nation’s midsection has gotten steeper since 2009, due to more quakes in a variety of oil and gas production areas, including some in Arkansas and Oklahoma, the researchers say. It’s not clear how the earthquake rates might be related to oil and gas production, the study authors said. They note that others have linked earthquakes to injecting huge amounts of leftover wastewater deep into the earth. There has been concern about potential earthquakes from a smaller-scale injection of fluids during a process known as hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, which is used to recover gas. But Ellsworth said Friday he is confident that fracking is not responsible for the earthquake trends his study found,
based on prior studies. The study covers a swath of the United States that lies roughly west of Ohio and east of Utah. It counted earthquakes of magnitude 3 and above. Magnitude 3 quakes are mild, and may be felt by only a few people in the upper floors of buildings, or may cause parked cars to rock slightly. The biggest counted in the study was a magnitude5.6 quake that hit Oklahoma last Nov. 5, damaging dozens of homes. Experts said it was too strong to be linked to oil and gas production. The researchers reported that from 1970 to 2000, the region they studied averaged about 21 quakes a year. That rose to about 29 a year for 2001 through 2008, they wrote, and the three following years produced totals of 50, 87 and 134, respectively. The study results make sense and are likely due to man-made stress in the ground, said Rowena Lohman, a Cornell University geophysicist. “The key thing to remember is magnitude 3s are really small,” Lohman said. “We’ve seen this sort of behavior in the western United States for a long time.” Usually, it’s with geothermal energy, dams or prospecting. With magnitude 4 quakes, a person standing on top of them would at most feel like a sharp jolt, but mostly don’t last long enough to be a problem for buildings, she said. The idea is to understand how the man-made activity triggers quakes, she said. One possibility is that the injected fluids change the friction and stickiness of minerals on fault lines. Another concept is that they change the below-surface pressure because the fluid is trapped and builds, and then “sets off something that’s about ready to go anyway,” Lohman said.

POPE BENEDICT XVI leads the Via Crucis (Way of the Cross) torchlight procession celebrated in front of the Colosseum on Good Friday in Rome, Friday.
Pope takes cross at end of Colosseum procession BY FRANCES D’EMILIO Associated Press ROME (AP) — Pope Benedict XVI encouraged those threatened by unemployment and other economic woes to draw courage and strength from the suffering of the crucified Jesus Christ as the pontiff presided over a Good Friday candlelit Way of the Cross procession at the ancient Colosseum. Benedict, who turns 85 on April 16, didn’t carry the cross during the hourlong procession itself. Instead, he listened intently to meditations on suffering that he asked an elderly Italian couple to compose for the traditional ceremony. Then, as the final reflection was read aloud, the pontiff was handed the slender, lightweight wooden cross, which he held steadily for a few minutes. Thousands of tourists, pilgrims and Romans jammed the boulevard outside the Colosseum and the ancient Roman Forum to pray with him on a mild, cloudy night and listen to hymns.
HIRING nomics. The report was also closely watched in political circles. If employers retreat on hiring, consumers could lose confidence in the economy and potentially dim President Barack Obama’s re-election hopes. Ashworth and other economists cited the weather for the latest jobs report. A warm January and February allowed construction companies and other businesses that work outdoors to hire workers a few weeks earlier than usual, effectively stealing jobs from March. It helps explain a 7,000 drop in construction jobs. Alan Amdahl, who has run his own construction company in Sioux Falls, S.D., for three
From Page 1 decades, said a mild winter helped contribute to a flurry of new remodeling jobs. He started hiring in January. “Our winter didn’t really exist,” he said. “It’s just incredible. People didn’t hibernate.” Economists also say the numbers can bounce around from month to month. Consistently creating 200,000 jobs a month is tough. The economy hasn’t put together four straight months of 200,000 or more new jobs since early 2000. Economists are still encouraged by the recent hiring trend: Each month from January through March has generated an average of 212,000 jobs. Anthony Chan, chief econo-
mist at JP Morgan Wealth Management, noted strong growth among businesses that are especially sensitive to the economy’s health. Hotels and restaurants hired 39,000 workers. Manufacturers added 37,000. The factory hiring is especially welcome. Expanding factories create more jobs at the mines that produce raw materials, in warehouses and at trucking companies. Government jobs, which declined by an average of 22,000 a month last year, fell just 1,000 in March. An improving economy is generating tax revenue and easing budget problems at city halls and statehouses across the country. The March slowdown
brings back painful memories of what happened in mid-2010 and again in 2011, when the economy lost momentum and job growth sputtered. Most investors didn’t have the chance to deliver a verdict on the report. The stock market was closed for Good Friday. Bond markets closed early. The job market had been on a recent roll. From December through February, the country added 734,000 jobs, an average of 245,000 each month. The only three-month stretch that was better since the recession ended was March through May 2010, when the government was hiring tens of thousands of temporary workers for the census.

DeWine: Learn more about abuse of children always have to come first. In August 2011, DeWine also reconvened the Ohio Human Trafficking Commission, to continue the Ohio Trafficking in Persons Study that had completed its statutory requirements. A preliminary report on the scope of the problem in Ohio cited 13 as the most common age in Ohio for youth to become victims of child sex trafficking. From the study’s sample of 207 individuals, 49 percent were under 18 when they were first trafficked. The commission includes elected and appointed officials, members of local, state, and federal law enforcement, public and private social agencies, religious groups, and

John Kasich last week for the governor’s signing of an executive order creating a Human Trafficking Task Force. The commission and the task force will work together to continue to strengthen Ohio’s efforts to combat the sex trade and forced labor of human trafficking in Ohio.

Child Abuse Prevention Month
COLUMBUS — Attorney General Mike DeWine has urged Ohioans to learn more about the physical and emotional abuse of children and how to prevent abuse as National Child Abuse Prevention Month gets under way. “Fortunately, the majority of Ohio’s children enjoy the nurturing of safe and loving homes,” said DeWine. “But, sadly, we continue to confront the abuse of children all too often. Recently, Ohio has seen several tragic cases, including the deaths of Makayla Norman in Dayton and DeMarcus Jackson in Cincinnati.” DeWine has worked on several fronts to make Ohio children safe, including holding a series of Child Safety Summits across the state to review the foster care system in Ohio. “Too many of these children are languishing in foster care with no real hope of ever having a permanent loving home,” said DeWine. Representatives of foster care agencies, law enforcement, advocacy groups, prosecutors’ offices, and adoption agencies attend the summits. The next one will take place April 19 in Dayton. In the U.S. Senate, DeWine authored language in the 1997 Adoption and Safe Families Act clarifying laws that that assure that in issues of family reunification, the best interests of the child

BBB serves more in 2011 DAYTON — In 2011 the Better Business Bureau of Dayton and the Miami Valley experienced a 30 percent increase in the instances of services it provided over 2010. In 2011, the BBB provided nearly 2 million instances of service. Most people were checking companies out before making purchases. About 542,000 business reviews on area businesses were requested in 2011. The BBB also handled about 6,400 complaints last year valued at more than $11 million. Its website, www.bbb.org, had nearly 610,000 separate website visits in 2011 with more than 1.9 million web pages viewed. The BBB has released the top 10 industries that it received calls or inquiries about in 2011. (See accompanying chart.) Many of the increases seen within industries, such as roofing contractors, landscape contractors, home improvement, tree services, lawn maintenance and auto repair and service, can reportedly be attributed to a storm in 2011 that caused a significant amount of wind and hail damage. Traveling roofing companies targeted local homeowners. Landscapers and lawn maintenance companies were needed to fix yards. Home improvement contractors had to repair damage to properties.

Not to mention, tree service companies were needed to take care of the trees affected by the storms. Many cars were damaged by hail. Even car dealerships suffered from damage done to cars in their sales lots. The advertising agencies and counselors industry is new to the complaint list due to a large company doing business nationwide being headquartered in the Miami Valley. All complaints against this company nationwide are handled by the local BBB.
John North, BBB president and chief executive officer, says, “Your BBB strives to help people start with trust as they do business in our community. There are lots of great companies in these industries. Unfortunately, there are some less-thantrustworthy companies in each that make it difficult for the good guys to do business. That’s why your BBB strives to help people make wise purchasing decisions. “One of the most common ways we do this is by providing business re-
views on area companies. These reviews can help people select who to do business with. They state if a business is BBB accredited or not, share the number of complaints filed about businesses and how they responded to them and include a rating for the businesses, which ranges from an A+ to F, similar to the grading system used by schools. You can use these tools as you do business by visiting www.bbb.org, calling (937) 222-5825 or (800) 776-5301 or stopping in our office.”

Long-term care seminar offered Edward Jones financial adviser DiAnne Karas, of Sidney, will host a free, 60-minute educational seminar titled, “Family Matters with Long-term Care,” Monday from 1:30 to 2:30 p.m. at Amos Memorial Public Library, 230 E. North St. Karas noted that for most people, discussing long-term care is often an uncomfortable topic. However, creating a long-term care strategy now may help to protect one’s family from financial burden in the future, she said. During the seminar, participants will learn more about: • The common funding options to provide quality, long-term care. • How long-term care insurance can play a significant role in helping to preserve one’s assets. • How people can take control of where and how they receive long-term care services. The seminar is free, but space is limited. To make a reservation, call Heather Dyer at 4970135.

First stop The first stop on the journey was in Memphis, home to blues, gospel and early rock and roll. The band and choirs performed at the Kirby Pines Retirement Community. After a sack lunch, the group went on a tour of the Gibson Guitar Factory, visited historic Sun Studio and the Stax Museum of American Soul Music. The students and their chaperones then enjoyed dinner and shopping on Beale Street, center of Memphis nightlife where blues clubs and restaurants featuring live entertainment abound. The evening concluded with a pool party at the hotel. The next day began with a tour of Graceland, Elvis Presley’s mansion. After lunch, the group headed to Nashville, known as “Music City, USA.”
Recording studio The first destination was Studio B, a working recording studio steeped in history. Numerous famous names of country, gospel and rock have recorded there, including Chet Atkins, Connie Francis, Mickey Gilley, Roger Miller, Dolly Parton, Elvis Presley, Charlie Pride and a host of others. Students learned about the studio’s his-
Night at theater After checking into the hotel, the group changed into dress clothes for dinner at the Hard Rock Café and a night at the theater. All enjoyed the touring company of the musical “Mary Poppins,” performed at the Tennessee Performing Arts Center in downtown Nashville. The next day’s activities included the Country Music Hall of Fame Museum, lunch at the Wild Horse Saloon, and the Parthenon, an exact replica of the original structure in Athens, Greece. It was created for the 1897 Tennessee Centennial Exposition World’s Fair, and later rebuilt in concrete in the 1920s. Today it functions as an art museum and stands as the centerpiece of a large public park.
Grand Ole Opry The trip concluded with a night at the Grand Ole Opry. This long-running live radio broadcast has showcased country music stars since 1925. Music Department Chair Elaine SchwellerSnyder and vocal music teacher Jacquelyn Jenkinson organized the trip. The trip was coordinated through Travel Adventures, a Brightspark Co.

They have been dating for a year. No one can understand why my cousin is dating this girl. She is controlling, cries when she doesn’t get her way, and is extremely immature. No one I know likes her, and she has a not-sogood reputation, yet she enjoys spreading rumors about others. My aunt and uncle have gone to great lengths to get their son away from her, but so far nothing has been successful. The answer is always the same, “I love her.” Please tell me what to do. — Nameless, Centralia, Wash. NAMELESS: Since his parents can’t break the bond of love, I doubt that you can, either. Forget about their love affair and go about finding your own happiness. You will feel much better when you do.
tory and then the audio engineers guided them through the process of making their own recording. The band recorded “Sparks” and “Selections from Mary Poppins.” The Cavalier Choir recorded “Jailhouse Rock” and the Limelighters Show Choir recorded “Livin’ on a Prayer.” After two takes of each selection, the CD was finalized. A number of students purchased a copy of the fourtrack CD, a unique souvenir of the trip.

Who’s driving those big wheels? We’ve all been there, hot frustration roiling within as we trail an 18-wheeler, laboring slowly up a hill on a two-lane highway. Rarely do we think about what is in that truck or who is driving it. The American Trucking Associations (ATA) reports that there are over 3.4 million professional truck drivers nationwide – delivering the goods U.S. consumers need every day of the year. Professional truck drivers are more essential to the national economy than ever before and they are delivering America's freight safely and on time every day.
Let's not forget that everything we eat, everything we wear, and everything in our home came in a truck, and even though most of us are frustrated by the traffic they may cause, they play a major role in keeping America moving. Drivers on average log over 432 billion miles per year to bring fresh produce and frozen foods to distribution centers all over the continent. ATA numbers show that trucks delivered 10.7 billion tons of freight in 2007, or 69 percent of total U.S. freight tonnage.

If you get annoyed by them and cut them off or jam the breaks, you are only playing with your own safety.

Please allow four weeks for delivery. DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I am 61 years old and have taken up bowling. I use my own ball, and it seems to fit fine. But when I go to throw the ball, I get a sharp pain that shoots through my thumb. From then on my thumb is numb and tingly. I don’t want to go to the doctor for such a little thing. I thought it would get better with time. I don’t want to quit bowling, but if I can’t get this under control, I don’t know what to do. — C.M. ANSWER: Pressure
on the base of your thumb from the margin of the thumb hole is pressing on a nerve there. If you alter your grip, that might relieve the pressure. You also can have the hole beveled or enlarged to take pressure off that area. If there’s enough room in the hole, pad it or have it padded. Wearing a glove is another way to protect the thumb nerve.

As I see it, you have several options. The first would be to talk to a counselor at school and ask if counseling is available that way. If it isn’t, then tell your father you need it, and why. And if he refuses, tell your mother everything. DEAR ABBY: I’m a 23-year-old college junior, double-majoring in English and education. Although I am pretty advanced in my degree field, I’m having second thoughts about my decision. Every day it seems as if I invest all my time and energy into something I don’t even want to be a part of. I have a very adventurous spirit. I want to constantly be doing, going and discovering.

Ohio Supreme Court strikes down juvenile sex offender registration requirement COLUMBUS (AP) — Requiring juvenile sex offenders convicted in juvenile courts to register as sex offenders for life amounts to cruel and unusual punishment and violates young offenders’ due process rights, the Ohio Supreme Court ruled Tuesday in striking down another portion of a 2007 get-tough sex offender law. The 5-2 decision overturned the mandatory lifelong notification requirement imposed on a 15-year-old Athens County boy convicted in 2009 on juvenile charges of raping a 6-year-old relative. Not only is the requirement unconstitutional, it also defeats the
purpose of the juvenile court system, Justice Paul Pfeifer said, writing for the majority. The mandatory registration “undercuts the rehabilitative purpose of Ohio’s juvenile system and eliminates the important role of the juvenile court’s discretion in the disposition of juvenile offenders and thus fails to meet the due process requirement of fundamental fairness,” Pfeifer wrote. He also said it defeats another goal of the juvenile court system: cloaking children in confidentiality and allowing them to avoid stigma once they have served their time in the juvenile system and be-
come adults. “Confidentiality promotes rehabilitation by allowing the juvenile to move into adulthood without the baggage of youthful mistakes,” Pfeifer said. “Public exposure of those mistakes brands the juvenile as an undesirable wherever he goes.” Arguments before the court focused on how best to treat serious juvenile offenders. An attorney for the Athens County boy told the court that a judge had ruled that the boy could be fairly treated as a juvenile. Yet the 2007 law “conferred on him an automatic, public, and lifetime penalty, typically reserved for adult
offenders,” according to a Sept. 30, 2010, filing by Brooke Burns, an assistant state public defender. The state argued in its own filings that the requirement was not meant to punish the offender but rather to protect the public. “It is not a violation of equal protection to treat serious offenders differently than less serious offenders,” George Reitmeier, an Athens County assistant prosecutor, wrote on Nov. 1, 2010. “It is also a rational conclusion that older juvenile are more culpable than younger juveniles.” The decision was the third time the court has struck down some ele-
ments of the 2007 law, enacted by Ohio and other states to put in place a new sex offender registration and notification system required by the federal Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act. The act as named after the son of “America’s Most Wanted” TV host John Walsh. Last year, the state Supreme Court ruled that sex offenders in Ohio cannot be subjected to stricter monitoring of their whereabouts if they committed their crimes before the 2007 law took effect. The court ruled in 2010 that sex offenders who had been sentenced under an earlier less
notification stringent law could not be reclassified to fall under the new statute. Justices Terrence O’Donnell and Robert Cupp dissented, with O’Donnell writing that lawmakers were within their rights to enact such laws. The Ohio General Assembly acted constitutionally when it “imposed registration and notification requirements on certain juvenile sex offenders based on concerns for public safety and public welfare,” O’Donnell said. ___ Andrew Welsh-Huggins can be reached at http://twitter.com/awhcolumbus.
Trucker harassment class action backfires BY RYAN J. FOLEY Associated Press CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (AP) — They were learning to become truck drivers but wound up in a nightmare. In detailed accounts to a federal agency, dozens of female employees of one of the nation’s largest trucking companies told of being propositioned, groped and even assaulted by male drivers during crosscountry training rides. “I was beaten, I was fondled, I was humiliated and I was taught nothing,” one trainee, Ramona Villareal, said in a deposition. But rather than leading to a workplace discrimination judgment, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission’s sexual harassment lawsuit against Cedar Rapids, Iowa-based CRST Van Expedited Inc., has backfired and put the agency on trial.
The agency is coping with a court ruling that could make it harder and more expensive to pursue large discrimination cases against companies in the Midwest, if not nationwide. And dozens of women who described an ordeal of unwanted and aggressive sexual conduct may receive no compensation for lost wages or emotional distress because of judicial criticism of the agency’s investigation. A February ruling in the case sets a new standard for workplace classaction lawsuits in the federal court district that includes Iowa, Arkansas, Missouri, Minnesota, Nebraska and the Dakotas. Before filing a lawsuit on behalf of employees alleging similar discrimination, the agency will first have to investigate the merits of every worker’s claim and attempt to reach settlements. If the agency
doesn’t, EEOC risks having the case dismissed. The agency has argued that such a standard is impractical in cases involving hundreds or thousands of potential victims. At a minimum, the agency says, investigations would take longer and delay relief compared to other regions, where class-action cases can be filed with a lower standard. EEOC has a deadline next week to determine whether to appeal. “We are an agency with limited resources already, and this is something that, if it stands, would make it even more challenging for us to address and vindicate discriminatory violations in the 8th Circuit,” EEOC general counsel P. David Lopez told The Associated Press. But businesses say the ruling could stop unfair legal tactics and prevent unnecessary and
expensive litigation. “It’s incredibly significant,” said Chicago lawyer Gerald Maatman Jr., who represents companies sued by the EEOC. “It is a signal by the federal courts that the tactics the EEOC has been using over the last several years may be improper.” The ruling came as the agency has made systemic discrimination cases — those involving many employees — a larger enforcement priority. EEOC investigates 100,000 complaints of workplace discrimination annually, and recovered more than $450 million for employees last year. The agency’s tactics have rattled the business community, which says lawsuits can cost millions of dollars and destroy reputations. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce filed a friend-of-the-court brief in the CRST case denouncing EEOC’s tac-
tics and calling for the agency to be more cooperative with industry. The trucking company case was prompted by a December 2005 complaint from driver Monika Starke, of Azle, Texas, who alleged she was paired with a driver who constantly made crude sexual remarks and advances. After she escaped his truck, she said, she was paired with another driver who demanded sex in exchange for a passing grade. After failing to reach a settlement for Starke, EEOC filed a lawsuit in 2007 on behalf of all female drivers subjected to “a sexually hostile and offensive work environment.” After the company sent letters to thousands of female employees, about 150 gave depositions in which they described being alone for weeks in trucks with male drivers.
One woman said her trainer asked for oral sex every morning and told her if she slept with him she’d certainly pass. Another testified that her trainer put on pornographic movies daily and told her he wanted her to perform similar acts. “And he never let me go a day without telling me that he controlled me passing or failing,” Yvonne Fortner testified. But some of their claims were barred for a variety of legal reasons. And EEOC’s tactics infuriated Judge Linda Reade, who said the agency used “a ‘sue first, ask questions later’ litigation strategy.” She dismissed the case and ordered the agency to pay CRST an unprecedented $4.4 million in attorney’s fees, acknowledging “dozens of potentially meritorious sexual harassment claims may now never see the inside of a courtroom.”

REPLAY 50 years ago April 7, 1962 Sidney High School used the long ball to good advantage as the Jackets racked up their fifth straight victory of the spring by edging Bellefontaine 4-3 at Custenborder Field. Jim Beemer led off the first with a towering shot to left for a triple and scored on Jon Blakeley’s sacrifice fly. In the fifth Mike Anthony reached but was forced at second. Blakeley followed with a single and then Vinnie Emrich powered a long drive into centerfield for a home run.
25 years ago April 7, 1987 Fort Loramie held its winter sports banquet on Monday and three athletes won Most Valuable Player honors. They included Todd Gaier in boys basketball, and both Carla Siegel and Sonja Barhorst in girls basketball. Six-eight sophomore Tom Brandewie won three awards, for field goal and free throw shooting, and most rebounds. He was also recognized for setting three school records, free throw percentage, consecutive free throws, and blocked shots.

Couples leads at Masters AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) —Before there was Tiger, Rory, Sergio or Phil, a smoothswinging guy named Freddie used to make ‘em go crazy at the Masters. He can still make it interesting. Freddie Couples turned back the clock Friday — back to 1992 — during a sevenbirdie second round that coaxed a fist pump from the California-cool 52-year-old and put him in a tie for the lead with Jason Dufner at Augusta National. “Can I win?” Couples said, repeating the question that so many are asking now. “Yeah, I believe I can. Yes.” He shot 5-under 67, the same score he posted 20 years ago during the second round of what turned out to be one of the most popular wins in the history of the tournament. Were it not for the gray hair beneath his cap, this might have been confused for a replay of that ‘92 win instead of the second round in 2012. “Standing out there, I said, ‘What the hell,’ a lot. What do I have to lose here?” Couples said. Meantime, Phil Mickelson made six birdies during a round of 4-under 68 to pull to 2 under for the tournament. Tiger Woods had nowhere

FRED COUPLES celebrates after finishing the second round the Masters golf tournament on the 18th hole Friday in Augusta, Ga. near as good a day. Struggling with his swing for the second straight round, he opened with two birdies on the first three holes, but gave that all back and more. He shot 3-over 75 and was at 3 over for the tournament, closer to the cut line of 5 over than the lead. Last year, he was seven back but came back to briefly grab the lead on Sunday before finishing fourth. “One of the neat things about this tournament is the 10-shot rule,” Woods said, referring to the rule that brings all players within 10 of the
lead back for the weekend. “Anyone can win the golf tournament who makes the cut. Guys have won this from five, six down going into the back nine. I just need to be solid, cut that deficit down and get off to a quick start like I did last year on Sunday.” Couples got off to a quick start Friday, shooting a 3under 33 on the front nine to move into contention. Two years ago, he opened with a 66 and became the oldest player to hold the outright lead after the first round at Augusta. Last year, he shot 68 on Friday
to push his way into the top 10. This time, he heads into the weekend with a chance to become the oldest major winner. He’s six years older than Jack Nicklaus was when he won his sixth Masters on that unforgettable Sunday in 1986. Twenty players in the field weren’t even born when Couples played his first Masters back in 1983. Still, he’s hardly the only big name near the top. Sergio Garcia shot a 4under 68 to finish one shot back, tied with Rory McIlroy, who shot 69, and Bubba Watson, who shot 71. “I know I’m playing well,” said McIlroy, who overcame last year’s final-round collapse at the Masters and won the U.S. Open two months later. “The recent results show that. I just wanted to come here and play, put myself in position to win another tournament, another major.” Also in the tie at 4 under were 2010 British Open champion Louis Oosthuizen and Lee Westwood. Westwood spent most of the day in the lead, but three-putted on the 18th green for a double-bogey to close his day at 1-over 73 and 4 under for the tournament. See MASTERS/Page 16

After a bit of a rocky start to the season, Hunsucker has settled in and been all but untouchable in his last two-plus outings.

After his first outing, Hunsucker had an earned run average of 7.71. His ERA now is at 2.59. In his latest work, he tossed a pair of five-hit shutouts.

On this day, his 106th competitive round at the course, all the scenes looked familiar: Freddie bending at the waist to stretch, reaching his hand into the back of his waistband to rub his aching back, squinting into the sunlight, wincing at the occasional twinge of pain. “What would it take?” he said. “A lot more birdies, a lot more made putts.” Maybe a

He was pin high and 4 feet away on No. 4, and suddenly, Couples was doing more than playing ceremonial golf — something he has always desperately wanted to avoid. He hit a hybrid into the 15th green to 20 feet and barely missed the
eagle putt. When he rolled in a 20-footer on 16 to get to 5 under, he pumped his fist and yelled “Bam.” Yes, folks, “BoomBoom” is back in the mix. He closed it out by salvaging par on No. 18 with a chip from in front of the green that stopped, checked up, spun backward to about 2 feet for a stress-free putt.

Business to offer free light bulbs at Minster store MINSTER â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Efficiency Smart, in partnership with the village of Minster Utilities Department and the village of New Bremen Utilities, will be at Western Ohio Hardware on April 14 to give away free compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs) during the storeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s anniversary sale event. Customers are encouraged to bring up to three standard incandescent light bulbs to exchange for up to three, free standard CFLs. Only electric customers of the villages of Minster and New Bremen and other municipal electric systems that participate in Efficiency Smart are eligible. The giveaway will be
held from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Western Ohio Hardware, 4405 State Route 66. Customers of electrical municipal systems that participate in Efficiency Smart should bring a copy of a utility bill for eligibility verification and up to three working standard incandescent light bulbs to exchange. According to Jackson Hale, retail efficient products market manager for Efficiency Smart, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our goal is to help municipal electric customers reduce the cost of their power bills through energy efficiency. Since CFLs use about 75 percent less energy and last up to 10
times as long as incandescent light bulbs, switching from incandescent light bulbs to CFLs can result in significant savings on your power bills.â&#x20AC;? In addition to CFLs, there are other energyefficient products that can help consumers save money on their electric bills. Other initiatives currently being offered to residential utility customers of participating Efficiency Smart communities to help them take advantage of these savings include: â&#x20AC;˘ $50 rebates on the purchase of qualified Energy Star refrigerators or high-efficiency clothes washers. â&#x20AC;˘ $50 incentives for
recycling up to three secondary working refrigerators and/or freezers through the free appliance recycling initiative. â&#x20AC;˘ An electric meter loan program to help renters and homeowners measure their electric usage to identify areas for savings. Free CFLs will be given to eligible customers while supplies last. Utility customers of participating municipal electric systems should watch the mail for additional savings, including promotions for up to 85 percent off the cost of efficient lighting products.

With the ease of digital-video recording and film-editing software, more students are writing, directing and acting in short films for their own fun and entertainment. Ferguson saw this happening with his friends and started connecting with other film enthusiasts. Then just a few months ago, Ferguson had an idea to challenge area youth to create short films for a new kind of competition to this area, so The Golden Locke Film Festival was born. The public is invited Friday at 7:30 p.m. for this celebration of young filmmakersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; passion for film, acting and writing. Six short films will be shown with awards being presented at the James F. Dicke Auditorium at New Bremen High School. Admission is free. Semi-formal attire is requested. Awards will be given in the categories of best picture, best comedy, best actor, best actress, best dialogue and best special effects. The requirements for the competition are: â&#x20AC;˘ Filmmakers are between the ages of 5 and 24. â&#x20AC;˘ Films may range from three to 35 minutes in length and can be of any genre. No nudity or vulgarity will be tolerated. â&#x20AC;˘ April 1 was the deadline for entries. The films are reviewed, judged and will be awarded the various titles with cash prizes. Sponsors for the event are Lock One Community Arts, Zeal Coaching for Life and Careers, Pat Ferguson Soccer Camps Limited, Celtic Pickle Productions and Barb Topp with Cutaway Salon. Ferguson is the son of Pat and Julie Ferguson, of New Bremen. He will be attending Wright State University in Dayton to study film and theater in the fall.

NEW BREMEN — Bremenfest Park parking lot will get an updated look as the result of action at a recent New Bremen Village Council meeting. Council awarded the contract for the parking lot project to PAB of Coldwater for $158,820, including the base bid and alternatives one and two. Council members also approved the purchase of a new JD commercial front mower from Koenig Equipment of Botkins. The cost is $19,094.09, including trade-in. The purchase is to be paid with money from the income tax fund. The first step was taken to formalize approval of the contract with the New Bremen Emergency Medical Service for emergency medical technician/paramedic services for the year.
Council had the first reading of the resolution to approve the contract. Council members learned that with the establishment of the commercial activity tax and the elimination of the personal tax revenues, the amount of available funding has decreased. There is less money for this expense this year than last year. In order to meet the contract payments in 2011, the village transferred $14,000 from the income tax fund into the levy fund. This year, that amount must be repaid. According to the new agreement, the EMS squad is to receive $20,500 at three intervals, a total of $61,500 this year. In other action, council was informed that the community garage sale days are Friday and April 14.

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 branches are Union trained at spotting fake checks, these types of scams are growing increasingly sophisticated and fake checks often aren't caught for weeks.
