SHELBY COUNTY Sheriff's Deputy and certified firearms instructor Jeff Morris shows a Shelby County teacher the proper way to hold a handgun in Sidney Saturday. Around 30 Shelby County teachers and administrators are being trained to respond to school shooters with force if necessary. If everything is approved teachers will not carry the guns at school but will have access to them in secured locations in the school in the event of an attack. The teacher emergency response training program called “Paratus” (Latin for always ready) was a response by Shelby County Sheriff John Lenhart and local educators to the Sandy Hook shooting and the other recent mass shootings.
With the successful completion of the concealed carry requirements during firearms range training Saturday, the first group of Shelby County educators has completed training designed to help them deal with something they hope they never confront — an active shooter in their school. Thirty teachers, administrators and support staff gathered Saturday to receive hands-on weapons training at the Shelby County Sheriff ’s firing range. Under the supervision of Sheriff’s Office range officers, all 30 participants completed the training and received certificates which qualify them to receive concealed carry permits, according to Sheriff John Lenhart. “We were very pleased,” Lenhart said of the firearms training.

From Page 1 one home at the time of the fire, although the owner Jeff Weigandt was on the property at the time. No injuries were reported. Haller said it appears the fire started at the rear of the home and spread throughout the structure. The cause of the fire has been ruled unintentional due to plumbing repairs being conducted by the owner, who was away from the house when the fire started. Haller said some pipes overheated, igniting the fire. The house was a total loss. Haller said the loss was estimated at $85,000 to the structure and $15,000 to $20,000 to the contents. Firefighters were on the scene for 3 1/2 hours.

STATE NEWS
Sidney Daily News, Monday, April 8, 2013
Out-of-state applicants top in-state at Ohio State BY ANDREW WELSH-HUGGINS The Associated Press COLUMBUS (AP) — The number of out-of-state applications to Ohio State University surpassed those from Ohio residents for the first time this year, as the university tries to offset a decline in the number of students graduating from high school in the state. The university attributes the higher out-of-state applicants to its recruiting efforts in growing population areas in the Southwest and Southeast, along with overseas outreach in China, India and soon, Brazil. The goal is creating a “brain gain” for Ohio State and for Ohio itself, said Dolan Evanovich, the university’s vice president for strategic enrollment planning. The idea is to “bring in a very talented diverse pool of students to come to Ohio State that will eventually become Ohio residents and taxpayers,” Evanovich said. “That’s kind of the mantra, the strategy we’re implementing.” Of Ohio State’s 35,000 applications for the upcoming school year, a record 56 percent are from out of state, Evanovich said. Compare that with a decade ago, when just 26 percent of applicants were nonresidents. Ohio State, typically among the country’s three biggest universities, has added recruiters in the past couple of years in Atlanta, Dallas, Los Angeles and New York City. The university already had re-
cruiters in Chicago and Washington, D.C. The university has also opened “gateway” outreach centers in Shanghai and Mumbai, India. And President Gordon Gee recently returned from Sao Paolo, Brazil, where the university hopes to add a third center. The record number of out-ofstate applicants “shows the growing national, international nature of the university,” Gee said. Students from Ohio still make up most of the university’s enrollment, with three of every four students last year coming from within the state. But that’s down from 1995, when it was more than nine of every 10. In addition, the number of first-year students from overseas in 2012 was 8.2 percent, compared with just 2.2 percent in 1995. Out-of-state students also represent revenue for the university. Annual in-state tuition and fees at Ohio State’s flagship campus in Columbus are $10,037, compared with $25,445 for out-of-state students. Gee has proposed freezing tuition for in-state students but not out-of-state, a proposal trustees will consider in June. Evanovich said it’s fair to charge out-of-state students more since they aren’t being subsidized by Ohio taxpayers. “It’s really been our driver to diversify our campus, and be a national and international university, but that extra revenue does help in tight economic times,” Evanovich
said. The university has also begun efforts to keep its students in the state after graduation. Last year, as part of freshman orientation, the university brought 7,000 new students to a downtown arena to hear the mayor extol the benefits of Columbus. That approach has appeal to Jamie Schertz, an Ohio State junior from Napierville, Ill. She followed her big sister, Erica, to Ohio because of the course offerings and generous financial aid. A younger sister, Adrienne, also goes to Ohio State. “Columbus has a lot to offer,” said Schertz, 21, a communications and marketing major. “I would definitely consider staying if I had the opportunity to do what I wanted.” Like Ohio State, Miami University in southwestern Ohio has added recruiters around the country, including Atlanta, Chicago, New Haven, Conn., San Diego and the Washington, D.C., suburbs. It’s also looking to expand recruiting in China and India. Applications to Miami from out-of-state students in the U.S. have increased by 30 percent over the past five years, and those from international students by almost 300 percent. The University of Arkansas has also looked actively out of state, with recruiters in California, Illinois, Oklahoma and Texas, and nearly doubled the number of nonresident students between 2008 and 2012, said Suzanne McCray, the university’s vice provost for enrollment and dean of admissions.
Kitchen training guarantees Ohio inmates jobs BY DAN HORN The Associated Press CINCINNATI (AP) — The kitchen smells and sounds like any other fast-food joint: Burgers sizzle on the grill. Fries sit in baskets above bubbling oil. The cook barks orders and twirls his spatula. “Get me a plate!” “Drop those fries!” But these aren’t typical waiters and short-order cooks. They’re convicted felons, drug addicts and non-violent offenders, doing time at River City Correction Facility. Every Thursday afternoon — “Frisch’s Day,” as it’s known here — more than a dozen River City residents go to work in
the kitchen to learn skills they hope will land them a job when they’re released. The groundbreaking program is another side to Frisch’s, the Cincinnati-based company known more for its Big Boy and fish sandwiches. For 15 years, the restaurant chain has teamed up with River City to train more than 150 offenders a year. All are guaranteed jobs after their release if they stay out of trouble and can competently flip burgers and deep-fry frozen potatoes. While most businesses are less likely to hire people with criminal records, Frisch’s takes a different
Introducing one Introducing on ne more more way way we’re providing providing g quality care care we’re communities to our communities
approach. Its management says the River City program is important community outreach, focused on setting people on the right path rather than filling their own kitchens with workers. About 70 percent of graduates are no longer at Frisch’s six months after their release. Some go to other restaurants or to better jobs elsewhere. About 30 percent return to jail or prison within two years. “Here, they get all the
attention they need,” said Lamont Taylor, Frisch’s human resources manager. “When they get out, it’s up to the individual.” For convicted felons, most with a history of addiction, the drug chance to learn some basic skills, even for an $8-an-hour job, is welcome. Studies over the past decade have found their unemployment rate is as much as 23 percent higher than the population as a whole.

Do you agree with a proposed universal background check system for the purchase of firearms? Eric Ditmer Sidney, farmer “I support the second amendment and any infringement on that is not justified. Period.”
Richard Elliott Pasco, retired “I believe in the second amendment, if you don’t have felonies against you or mental illness.”

NATION/WORLD TODAY IN HISTORY BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Today is Monday, April 8, the 98th day of 2013. There are 267 days left in the year. Today’s Highlights in History: On April 8, 1913, the 17th Amendment to the Constitution, providing for popular election of United States senators (as opposed to appointment by state legislatures), was ratified. President Woodrow Wilson became the first chief executive since John Adams to address Congress in person as he asked lawmakers to enact tariff reform. On this date: • In 1820, the Venus de Milo statue was discovered by a farmer on the Greek island of Milos. • In 1913, the Republic of China’s first parliament convened. • In 1935, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed the Emergency Relief Appropriations Act, which provided money for programs such as the Works Progress Administration. • In 1943, President Franklin D. Roosevelt ordered a freeze on wages and prices to combat inflation. • In 1946, the League of Nations assembled in Geneva for its final session. • In 1952, President Harry S. Truman seized the American steel industry to avert a nationwide strike. (The Supreme Court later ruled that Truman had overstepped his authority, opening the way for a seven-week strike by steelworkers.) • In 1963, “Lawrence of Arabia” won the Oscar for best picture at the Academy Awards; Gregory Peck won best actor for “To Kill a Mockingbird” while Anne Bancroft received best actress honors for “The Miracle Worker.” • In 1973, artist Pablo Picasso died in Mougins, France, at age 91. • In 1974, Hank Aaron of the Atlanta Braves hit his 715th career home run in a game against the Los Angeles Dodgers, breaking Babe Ruth’s record. • In 1988, TV evangelist Jimmy Swaggart resigned from the Assemblies of God after he was defrocked for rejecting an order from the church’s national leaders to stop preaching for a year amid reports he’d consorted with a prostitute. • In 1993, singer Marian Anderson died in Portland, Ore., at age 96. • In 1994, Kurt Cobain, singer and guitarist for the grunge band Nirvana, was found dead in Seattle from an apparently self-inflicted gunshot wound; he was 27.
OUT OF THE BLUE Sheep hired to mow grass PARIS (AP) — Will tourists soon see flocks of baaing sheep at the Eiffel Tower and bleating ewes by Notre Dame cathedral? That could be the case, since Paris City Hall this week installed a small flock of sheep to mow the lawn at the city's gardens, replacing gas-guzzling lawnmowers. Four woolly ewes — shipped in from an island off the Brittany coast — are currently munching the grass surrounding Paris Archives building.The number of sites doing that could expand from October in and around Paris. The ovine-operation follows a successful stint last year by two goats that were hired privately by the Louvre to mow the lawn at Tuileries, central Paris' grand 17thcentury gardens. Motorless and independent, the four-legged workers contentedly munch day and night — oblivious of the France’s strict 35-hour work week.

General: Taliban likely to be long-term threat BAGRAM AIR FIELD, Afghanistan (AP) — The United States accepts that a diminished but resilient Taliban is likely to remain a military threat in some parts of Afghanistan long after U.S. troops complete their combat mission next year, the top U.S. military officer said Sunday. In an Associated Press interview at this air field north of Kabul, Army Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said he is cautiously optimistic that the Afghan army will hold its own against the insurgency as Western troops pull back and Afghans assume the lead combat role. He said that by May or June, the Afghans will be in the lead throughout the country. Asked whether some parts of the country will remain contested by the Taliban, he replied, “Yes, of course there will be.” “And if we were having this
conversation 10 years from now, I suspect there would (still) be contested areas because the history of Afghanistan suggests that there will always be contested areas,” he said. He and other U.S. commanders have said that ultimately the Afghans must reach some sort of political accommodation with the insurgents, and that a reconciliation process needs to be led by Afghans, not Americans. Thus the No. 1 priority for the U.S. military in its final of combat in months Afghanistan is to do all that is possible to boost the strength and confidence of Afghan forces. Shortly after Dempsey arrived in Afghanistan on Saturday, the Taliban demonstrated its ability to strike. It claimed responsibility for a suicide car bombing that killed five Americans — three soldiers and two civilians, including Anne Smedinghoff, a
foreign service officer and the first American diplomat killed overseas since the terrorist attack Sept. 11 in Benghazi, Libya. A fierce battle between U.S.-backed Afghan forces and Taliban militants in a remote corner of eastern Afghanistan left nearly 20 people dead, including 11 Afghan children killed in an airstrike, Afghan officials said Sunday. There are now about 66,000 U.S. troops in Afghanistan. That number is to drop to about 32,000 by February 2014, and the combat mission is to end in December 2014. Whether some number — perhaps 9,000 or 10,000 — remain into 2015 as military trainers and counterinsurgents is yet to be decided. Dempsey spent two days talking to senior Afghan officials, including his counterpart, Gen. Sher Mohammad Karimi, as well as top U.S. and allied commanders.

A WOMAN reads messages on ribbons visitors left to make their wishes for the reunification of the two Koreas, at the Imjingak Pavilion near the border village of Panmunjom, which has separated the two Koreas since the Korean War, in Paju, north of Seoul, South Korea, Sunday. A top South Korean national security official said Sunday that North Korea may be setting the stage for a missile test or another provocative act with its warning that it soon will be unable to guarantee diplomats' safety in Pyongyang. But he added that the North’s clearest objective is to extract concessions from Washington and Seoul.
SKorea: NKorea may be preparing to test missile SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — A top South Korean national security official said Sunday that North Korea may be setting the stage for a missile test or another provocative act with its warning that it soon will be unable to guarantee diplomats’ safety in Pyongyang. But he added that the North’s clearest objective is to extract concessions from Washington and Seoul. North Korea’s warning last week followed weeks of war threats and other efforts to punish South Korea and the U.S. for ongoing joint military drills, and for their support of U.N. sanctions over Pyongyang’s Feb. 12 nuclear test. Many nations are deciding what to do about the notice, which said their diplomats’ safety in Pyongyang cannot be guaranteed beginning this Wednesday. Tensions between Seoul and Pyongyang led South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff to announce Sunday that its chairman had put off a visit to Washington. The U.S. military said its top commander in South Korea had also canceled a trip to Washington. The South Korean defense
minister said Thursday that North Korea had moved a missile with “considerable range” to its east coast, possibly to conduct a test launch. His description suggests that the missile could be the Musudan missile, capable of striking American bases in Guam with its estimated range of up to 4,000 kilometers (2,490 miles). Citing North Korea’s suggestion that diplomats leave the country, South Korean President Park Geun-hye’s national security director said Pyongyang may be planning a missile launch or another provocation around Wednesday, according to presidential spokeswoman Kim Haing. During a meeting with other South Korean officials, the official, Kim Jang-Soo, also said the notice to diplomats and other recent North Korean actions are an attempt to stoke security concerns and to force South Korea and the U.S. to offer a dialogue. Washington and Seoul want North Korea to resume the six-party nuclear talks — which also include China, Russia and Japan — that it abandoned in 2009.
Church takes early lead at ACM Awards LAS VEGAS (AP) — Eric Church’s nickname is “Chief,” and early on at the Academy of Country Music Awards that title was spot-on. This year’s top nominee won album of the year for his breakthrough “Chief” on Sunday night, giving him two trophies and a tie for the early lead with Little Big Town. He also performed, singing his somber but powerful song “Like Jesus Does” with only an acoustic guitar and a backup singer. “I can’t believe I just met John Fogerty,” Church said as
he accepted the award from the Creedence Clearwater Revival frontman and Miranda Lambert. “We should hang out later.” Little Big Town had two wins for vocal group and video of the year, Florida Georgia Line won for new artist and husband and wife Shawna and Keifer Thompson continued their feel-good story as Thompson Square won its second straight vocal duo of the year award. Shawna Thompson gave a shoutout to her mother from stage.
Tears came to her eyes backstage as she explained that her father had recently passed away and she wanted to acknowledge her mother during her acceptance speech to support her. “She’s just having a really hard time,” she said. Blake Shelton kicked the show off with his new single “Boys ‘Round Here,” a hiphop-flavored ode to redneck swag. He was joined by Bryan, Brad Paisley, Sheryl Crow and Pistol Annies, a trio that includes his wife Miranda Lambert.

THIS UNDATED photo provided by Tom Smedinghoff, shows Anne Smedinghoff. Anne Smedinghoff, 25, was killed Saturday in southern Afghanistan , the first American diplomat to die on the job since last year’s attack on the U.S. diplomatic installation in Benghazi, Libya.
Diplomat had passion for her job CHICAGO (AP) — Anne Smedinghoff had a quiet ambition and displayed a love of global affairs from an early age, joining the U.S. Foreign Service straight out of college and volunteering for missions in perilous locations worldwide. So when the 25-year-old suburban Chicago woman was killed Saturday in southern Afghanistan — the first American diplomat to die on the job since last year’s attack in Benghazi, Libya — her family took solace in the fact that she died doing something she loved. “It was a great adventure for her … She loved it,” her father, Tom Smedinghoff, told The Associated Press on Sunday. “She was tailor-made for this job.” Anne Smedinghoff grew up in River Forest, Ill. — an upscale suburb about 10 miles west of Chicago — the daughter of an attorney and the second of four children. She attended the highly selective Fenwick High School, followed by Johns Hopkins University, where she majored in international studies and became a key organizer of the university’s annual Foreign Affairs Symposium in 2008. The event draws high-profile speakers from around the world. Those who knew Smedinghoff described her as a positive, hard-working and dependable young woman. While a student in Baltimore, she worked part time for Sam Hopkins, an attorney near campus. He described her as ambitious “but in a wonderfully quiet, modest way.” Her first assignment for the foreign service was in Caracas, Venezuela, and she volunteered for the Afghanistan assignment after that. Her father said family members would tease her about signing up for a less dangerous location, maybe London or Paris. “She said, ‘What would I do in London or Paris? It would be so boring,’” her father recalled. In her free time, she would travel as much as possible, her father said. Smedinghoff was an upand-coming employee of the State Department who garnered praise from the highest ranks. She was to finish her Afghanistan assignment as a press officer in July. Already fluent in Spanish, she was gearing up to learn Arabic, first for a year in the U.S. and then in Cairo, before a two-year assignment in Algeria. Secretary of State John Kerry said Sunday at a news conference in Turkey that Smedinghoff was “vivacious, smart” and “capable.” Smedinghoff had assisted Kerry during a visit to Afghanistan two weeks ago. He also described Smedinghoff as “a selfless, idealistic woman who woke up yesterday morning and set out to bring textbooks to school children, to bring them knowledge.”

BY PATRICIA ANN SPEELMAN pspeelman@ civitasmedia.com FORT LORAMIE — The A.J. Wise Fort Loramie Public Library will host a presentation by Dr. Jorge Nunez about life and art in Cuba Saturday at 10 a.m. The event is free, but advance registration is requested. To register, call 295-3155 or email bergerli@oplin.org. Nunez, of Guantanamo, Cuba, will discuss the six Cuban artists and six American artists who have been working together on a re-art project since last April. It was devised by Mary Ann Olding, of Minster, and Jan Brown Checco, of Cincinnati, with Cuban support by Nunoz. Each artist began by creating a painting on an 8-inch by 11-inch piece of cardboard. The paintings were copied electronically, and a copy of each painting was provided to each artist, who then added his own work to the copies. The American artists, all in Cincinnati, embellished the works done by the Cuban artists, all of Baracoa, and vice versa. The resultant artworks comprise an exhibit of 84 paintings which opened April 5 in Middletown, where it will be on display for a month. It will then travel to Cincinnati, where it will be ex-

Library to screen ‘Lincoln’ There will be a special showing of the movie, “Lincoln,” on April 15 at 5:30 p.m. in the Amos Memorial Library’s art gallery, 230 E. North St. The movie features Tommy Lee Jones, Daniel Day-Lewis, Walton Goggins and Sally Field and was directed by Steven Spielberg. It is rated PG-13 and is 150 minutes long. The film is intended for audiences 13 and over unless accompanied by a parent or guardian.
The event is free and popcorn will be served. As the Civil War continued to rage, America’s President Lincoln struggled with continuing carnage on the battlefield and fought with many inside his own cabinet on the decision to emancipate the slaves. This film chronicles the president’s time in office between 1861 and 1865, as he dealt with personal demons and politics during the Civil War.

The Americans tended to put them on top of the paintings.” She had hoped that three Cubans would be able to visit the U.S. with the exhibit. One of them could not get a visa and a second one was hospitalized the day before his plane was to leave. “I thought it was an excellent opportunity to have them come to our community to talk about their way of life,” said Linda Berger, Fort Loramie Location Library coordinator, about why she agreed to host the event. “We can learn so much from hearing about their culture.” Nunoz will use a PowerPoint presentation to show examples of the artwork in the exhibit. The artists are Checco, Farron L. Allen, Terri Kern, Susan Naylor, Saad Ghosn and Albert A. Fausz Jr., all of Cincinnati, and Joel Rey Barroso, Luis Eliades, Orlando Piedra Labanino, Mildo Matos Carcase, Yohandra Bernot Guzman and Yoeldris Rey Lores, all of Baracoa. The display is open to the public at the Pendleton Art Center, 1105 Central Ave., Middletown, on Sundays and Mondays from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and on Tuesdays through Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. through April 30.

DEGRAFF — Members of DeGraff Village Council voted at a recent meeting to donate $500 from the Recycling Incentive Reward Fund to the Riverside Community District Scholarship Fund. The money will be taken from the $1,461 in the Recycling Incentive Reward Fund. Police Chief George Piersall advised council that the department needs to replace two radios at a cost of $500 each. Mayor Gary Comer reported council is in the process of clearing out items stored in the upper rooms of the firehouse. He said some of the items will be sold on govdeals.com site on the Internet. He said he would like the fire and police departments to make a list of items that can be disposed of and would like to see the back room used for records retention. Comer reported that he thinks the old police cruiser has been sold and that the department has received a new laptop computer for the cruiser. In another matter relating to the new cruiser, Comer said the next time the department needs a light bar, an attempt should be made to buy a used light bar since he has been told used equipment is available and in good shape.
Council voted to pay the village’s share of the Logan County Sheriff ’s Office in-cruiser Law Enforcement Agencies Data System (LEADS). The village’s share will be $1,600 per year, with $500 of the amount being dropped when the county’s equipment is paid off. Committee Street Chairwoman Gloria Armstrong reported Aqua Line has been hired by the Board of Public Affairs to do a comprehensive study to locate water leaks in the village, starting with fire hydrants. It was noted during the meeting that the Street Department anticipates charging a fee for village employees to pick up shrubs and brush after the annual spring cleanup. Jenny LeClair, Park Committee chairwoman, reported the Summer Ball Boosters have agreed to reimburse the village for the food-service food license for the concession stand. Comer also requested the Park Committee research grant and other fund options for improvements at the park. Council member Jennifer Ganson-Bowman reported on joint sewer board issues. She said repairs are being made at the wastewater treatment plant.

THE SERVICE
Platfoot visits Montenegro Both projects were joint efforts between the U. S and Montenegrin natives. During the three-day port visit, sailors provided shipboard tours for the U. S ambassador to Montenegro, the Honorable Sue. K Brown and ambassadors from Hungary, Romania and Slovenia, as well as Montenegrin military
and civilians. Farragut, homeported out of Mayport, Fla. is on a schedule deployment supporting maritime security operations and theater security cooperation efforts in the U. S 6th Fleet area of responsibility. Platfoot is a 2007 graduate of Sidney High School and joined the Navy in July 2007.

Navy Petty Officer 2nd Class Benjamin M. Platfoot, son of Suzanne H. Stein of Sidney, and Michael A. Platfoot, of Tipp City, is among sailors attached to the guided-missile destroyer USS Farragut (DDG 99) that recently visited Bar, Montenegro. Platfoot had the opportunity to experience Montenegro’s culture and spend time engaging with the community, including sporting events with Montenegrin sailors, tour of the towns of Perast, Koto and Skadar Lake, and a tour of Montenegro’s vineyards. Farragut also sent several of their sailors to observe a boarding experience with Montenegrin sailors. Sailors planted trees in two community engagement projects while in Bar, one event was held in a sporting complex and the other at a local elementary school.

HOROSCOPE BY FRANCES DRAKE For Tuesday, April 9, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) This is a great day, because you feel positive, upbeat and encouraged about life. Nevertheless, avoid getting into a hissy fit with someone in authority; it’s not worth it. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) You have a warm feeling in your tummy today. You feel good about life. Why ruin this by getting into an argument about politics, religion or racial issues? Ya think? GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) This is a wonderful day to deal with others in group situations. You’ll enjoy classes, meetings and large conferences. Furthermore, people will listen to you today. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You make a great impression on bosses, parents, teachers and VIPs today. Work-related travel is likely. Avoid power struggles with partners and close friends. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Grab every opportunity to travel that you can today. You want a change of scenery! Explore opportunities in publishing, the media, medicine, the law and higher education. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Be on the lookout for how to benefit from the wealth and resources of others today. Gifts, goodies and advantages can come your way. This is a good day to ask for a loan or mortgage. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Relations with others are very warm today. People are in a jocular, jovial mood. However, disagreements with family members could occur. (Patience is your best ally.) SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Be careful about introducing reforms and improvements at work, because not everyone will welcome them. Instead, use support from others to expand your work activities. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) This is a lovely, playful day! Sports events, fun times with children, social diversions and romantic interludes are positive outlets for you. Enjoy! CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) This is an excellent day for real-estate deals and family affairs. Enjoy entertaining at home. However, avoid power struggles with authority figures, because this will only cast a pall on things. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Writers, people in sales and those who act or teach will have a successful day, because communication skills are upbeat and positive. It’s a great day for short trips and discussions with siblings and relatives. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Business and commerce are favored today. Trust your moneymaking ideas, because you might be able to boost your income. YOU BORN TODAY At times, you are excessive, because you passionately believe in what you do. Naturally, you sometimes are outspoken and direct. However, since you are so fervent, you like to share your ideas with others (in very persuasive ways). You are excellent at encouraging others to do something. Your coming year will be the beginning of a fresh new cycle. Open any door!

and face, with prominent jaw and cheekbones, especially if, as is often the case, diagnosis is not immediate. Changes in the cartilage and joints make the hands and feet swollen, and fractures are common. Vitamin D deficiency is also common. Weight gain puts people with acromegaly at high risk for diabetes and sleep apnea, and these need to be looked for. Sex hormones are usually decreased in both men and women, and this also may need treatment. Colon polyps are more likely, and a colonoscopy is recommended at diagnosis. You mentioned lightheadedness, which can be caused by the hormonal changes, but also by several kinds of heart abnormalities that can accompany acromegaly.
An echocardiogram is likely to be recommended by your physicians. Treatment of the tumor can be with medicines or surgery. The decision of which is best is complicated and requires more extensive knowledge about your specific situation. Most often, I do see surgery as first-line treatment, with medicines and sometimes radiation used if the surgery isn’t completely successful, just as your endocrinologist suggests. Many of the complications I mention above get better once treatment starts, and the sooner, the better for most of them. I found several support groups for acromegaly, including a very helpful website at acromegalycommunity.com.

Please do not be embarrassed to be frank, because most therapists have heard everything. It isn’t their job to judge you, only to help you. None of this was your fault, and your problem is fixable. DEAR ABBY: My husband, kids and I moved out of state seven years ago, leaving behind our extended families. Now, whenever we plan a vacation in our home state, we encounter the same issues. The first is trying to accommodate everyone’s schedule into our own. The second is dividing our time between my family and my husband’s. (His family is smaller than mine.) Is it fair to divide the time in half — half for his family and half for mine
OF THE
— even though I have so many more relatives on my list? Or should we divide our time by the number of households we need to see? These issues cause my husband and me to argue, and it makes what is supposed to be a vacation very unpleasant. I already feel like canceling the trip. — VACATION ISSUES DEAR VACATION ISSUES: A solution would be to have two large family get-togethers — one for your family and another for his — during your visit. Then, if you want to visit with the relatives from the two branches of the families individually, you can “divide and conquer.” He can spend as much time as he wishes with his relatives, and you can spend time with yours.
PAST
100 years April 8, 1913 Every citizen in Sidney has reason to be proud of the efficient way that the situation after the flood was taken care of. The citizens, lodges, and clubs in this time of need showed their ability to cope with the conditions and every assistance possible given the homeless ones. The various clubs of the city were already banded together for the welfare of the town and this showed the wisdom of cooperation in this work. The home of Michael Gilardi, on Wilkinson Avenue opposite the plant of the Cherry Cheer Co., was badly damaged by fire about 2 o’clock this morning. The blaze started in the basement of the house and had gained considerable headway when discovered. It was with some difficulty that the younger children of the family were gotten from the house without being burned.

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.

REPLAY 50 years ago April 8 1963 Joe Zwiesler took top individual honors in the Married Couples League — and perhaps for the season — by smashing out a 668 series on Bel Mar Lanes. Holding a 200232-236 string, Joe paced Quality Bakery to a 6-2 victory.
25 years ago April 8, 1988 Sidney defeated Celina 3-2 to up their tennis record to 20. The win was highlighted by Jeff Hewitt’s impressive comeback in winning the third singles match. He was down 0-5 in the first set but rallied to win 7-6. He then won the second set 7-5 to claim the match.
10 years ago April 8, 2003 The Sidney-Shelby County YMCA held its annual 5K Run/Walk in chilly temperatures Saturday morning. Ron Argabright was the top runner, finishing in 17:33, Tom Morton placed second in 18:08. Cindy Holloway was the top female finisher in 21:10, just one second ahead of Rhonda Thompson.

ON THIS DATE IN 1975 — Frank Robinson, the first black manager in the majors, debuts as player-manager for the Cleveland Indians. Robinson hits a home run in his first atbat — as a designated hitter — to help beat the New York Yankees 5-3. 1990 — Nick Faldo becomes the second player to win consecutive Masters, beating Ray Floyd on the second hole of a sudden-death playoff. Faldo joins Jack Nicklaus as the only repeat winner.

Cueto beats Strasburg CINCINNATI (AP) — Johnny Cueto ordered three runs. His Cincinnati teammates dutifully delivered. The Reds pitcher came off the mound after the sixth inning of his start Sunday against the Washington Nationals with the score tied, 3all. “I said, ‘I want three runs here. Do it for me,’” Cueto said. Todd Frazier confirmed Cueto’s order. “I was screaming with him,” the Cincinnati third baseman said. “He was saying it in Spanish, but we understood.” Boy, did they. The Reds scored three runs off Washington ace Stephen Strasburg on their way to a 6-3 win in what started out as a highly anticipated matchup of young aces. Jay Bruce drove in three runs as Cincinnati wrapped up an impressive opening week homestand. Bruce, ShinSoo Choo, Xavier Paul and Brandon Phillips each had two hits to back Cueto (1-0) and help the Reds win the rubber match of their threegame series with Washington. They pleased manager Dusty Baker by finishing 4-2 at home against the Nationals and Los Angeles Angels, two teams expected to contend this season for post-season berths. “That’s really big,” Baker said. “That’s what you plan on doing. You want to win two out of three and then maybe go on a long winning streak. You want to get as far away from .500 as possible.” Cueto needed 108 pitches to get through six innings, allowing seven hits and three runs. He walked three and

Aroldis Chapman allowed one hit and had two strikeouts in the ninth for his second save. “There’s pride in facing him,” Cueto said. “He’s a good pitcher like I am. It was a competitive situation.” Strasburg (1-1) allowed nine hits and six runs with four walks and five strikeouts in 5 1-3 innings. He threw 114 pitches, 73 for strikes. The Reds didn’t exactly overpower him, connecting for just one extra-base hit and three infield singles. They scored one run on an infield out and the go-ahead run on a fielder’schoice grounder. “I learned a lot out there,”
Strasburg said about facing an opponent’s ace. “You want to be in that situation and go deep into the ballgame.” Cincinnati left-hander Sean Marshall pitched the seventh in his first appearance of the season after getting over what he described as shoulder fatigue. Jonathan Broxton worked the eighth. The Reds knocked Strasburg out with that three-run sixth. Rookie Derrick Robinson, called up on Wednesday to replace the injured Ryan Ludwick, led off with his first major league hit, a sharp onehopper just out of the reach of diving third baseman Ryan Zimmerman.
Robinson went to third on Choo’s single to center and slid across the plate with the go-ahead run just ahead of second baseman Danny Espinosa’s throw on Paul’s fielder’s choice. “It’s not 100 percent that I’m going to score there,” Robinson said. “I just try to use my God-given talent as much as possible.” Robinson’s speed is what made him the front-runner to be called up when Ludwick went down, Baker said. “Speed kills,” Baker said. “Speed doesn’t go into slumps. I love speed. I love power, too, but I love speed.” Both runners moved up on Joey Votto’s chopper to Strasburg and Phillips singled to left through the drawn-in infield to drive in Paul and end Strasburg’s day. Ryan Mattheus relieved Strasburg, and Bruce greeted him with a run-scoring infield single to shortstop Ian Desmond. The duel between the two right-handers nearly fizzled early. Strasburg allowed as many hits in the first inning Sunday as he did while throwing seven shutout innings against Miami during a 2-0 win in Washington’s opener on April 1. Four straight runners reached base, including Paul and Phillips with infield singles and Bruce with a basesloaded, two-run double. Phillips scored the Reds’ third run of the inning on Todd Frazier’s groundout. The Nationals immediately tied the score in the second on Desmond’s double to left-center, Danny Espinosa’s walk and Kurt Suzuki’s 357-foot home run into the left field seats.
Jackets swept by Bath Sidney’s defense broke down Saturday and it led to a doubleheader sweep for Lima Bath in high school baseball action at the high school. The Wildcats took game one 10-3, then romped to a 213 victory in the second game to leave the Jackets 3-2 on the season. Sidney committed 12 errors in the two games. In the first game, Sidney got two hits from Ryan Penley and doubles from Sammy Niswonger and Bobby Benshoff. Niswonger drove in two runs. Sidney led 3-1 until Bath scored five times in the bottom of the fifth. In the nightcap, it was just 5-3 after four innings but Bath got four in the fifth and 12 more in the sixth to turn it into a rout. Kaleb Dotson was 3-for-4 with a double for the Jackets. “Bad day at the ball park,” said Sidney coach Bill Shoffner. “Things started off good in game one for the first five innings but then we were hit with some adversity and I’m shocked at how we fell apart. We need to have a lot more mental toughness because things aren’t always going to go our way. Twelve errors in two games is not acceptable and rather SDN Photo/Luke Gronneberg embarrassing.

Composting 101
Word of the Week composting — a mixture of decaying organic matter, as from leaves and manure, used to improve soil structure and provide nutrients
Did You Know? BENEFITS OF COMPOST TO YOUR GARDEN • improves soil structure in all soils, and therefore: • improves water retention in loose, sandy soils; • improves drainage in heavy, clayey soils; • prevents the soil surface from crusting, easing the emergence of seedlings; • resists compaction, making it easier for roots to penetrate the soil; • helps balance pH, making alkaline soils more acidic and acidic soils more alkaline; • provides a good environment for the microbes, earthworms and insects that break down soil constituents into plant nutrients; • nourishes microbes that protect against some plant diseases; • reduces the need for other soil amendments and for fertilizer; • provides many micro-nutrients and low levels of macronutrients; • improves the soil's retention of nutrients, thus increasing the amount of time they are available to plants; • slows the leaching of nutrients, thus preventing them from reaching and polluting water; • encourages healthy plants, thus reducing the need for pesticides and fungicides. BENEFITS TO THE ENVIRONMENT • reduces the amount of garbage in landfills, and therefore: • reduces the greenhouse gases produced by hauling garbage; • reduces the amount of methane produced by landfills; • helps prevent runoff and soil erosion; • helps remediate (decontaminate) polluted soils, binding some contaminates in the soil and increasing plant uptake by others, allowing their removal from contaminated sites; • reduces the need for environmentally damaging pesticides and fertilizers.

Have you ever noticed how some people have beautiful, vibrant flower gardens or grow large, scrumptious looking vegetables almost with ease? They might have a green thumb, but chances are better that it’s their soil. If you use compost, your soil has a richer composition that is better for your veggies and flowers. This healthy and sturdy soil produces those gorgeous flowers and mouth-watering vegetables we all wish we could have in our own gardens. Guess what? Now you can have them. It just takes a little knowhow about composting. Composting is not hard. The entire family can get in on the act. If you have a family garden, composting will be quite helpful to you. Let’s discuss the benefits of composting as well as how to create a compost pile that can enrich your soil naturally and produce those growing beauties. COMPOSTING IS HEALTHY FOR THE ENVIRONMENT Creating compost reduces the amount of trash in the landfill. We throw away a lot of food, which is the majority of our waste. Using those food scraps in compost gives precious nutrients back to the soil instead of
the garbage heap. Basically, composting is the process of using plant matter and other materials to enrich the soil. You let the items decompose and blend them in with the soil as nourishment for whatever you are growing. You also can use compost as mulch in flower gardens instead of wood chips or pine needles. GETTING STARTED WITH YOUR OWN COMPOST PILE So how do you begin? First, find a place to compost. You can buy compost bins or make your own. With an inconspicuous place in the back yard, you don’t even need a bin. Compost will decompose in a pile all by itself. Once you’ve chosen your location and storage unit (or none at all), it’s time to begin filling it. Composting problems occur when the wrong things are added to the compost pile. That’s why it’s important to know what you can safely and effectively add. WHAT TO INCLUDE IN YOUR COMPOST PILE There are two types of compost materials that fill two needs of the compost pile. First, there are the wood products. Those

include wood chip, straw and leaves. You also can throw those pesky weeds on the compost pile as well. These materials add pockets of space to the compost pile so air can reach everything that goes into it. Secondly, you have the food material and grasses. Grass clippings, fruit rinds, vegetable waste, and even coffee grounds make great compost. Compost needs to be moist for the bacteria to survive and digest properly. This type of material is what provides the moisture. As long as your compost pile has air and a moderate amount of moisture, the bacteria, along with insects and worms,

will do their job. When these two things are absent, you get the yucky foul smell of garbage. Constantly turn the compost pile over with a rake or hoe so all the material gets air. Ever wonder why food sent to the garbage doesn’t just decompose? It’s because it doesn’t get air in the garbage pile. Compost is ready when the ingredients are not recognizable anymore. It usually takes on a dark brown color once it’s ready. Use your leftovers and lawn trimmings to grow a beautiful lawn, flowers or vegetable garden by creating a compost pile. You can start anytime. Why not today?
