City of Sidney income tax returns are due on or before Monday. This coincides with the due date for federal income tax returns. By state law, municipalities must follow the IRS filing deadline. Like most Ohio cities, Sidney has a mandatory filing requirement. Mandatory filing means that every Sidney resident 18 years of age and older must file either a 2012 Sidney income tax return or have an approved exemption form on file with the city of Sidney Revenue Collections office no later than April 15. An extension of time to file is not an extension of time to pay income tax due.) The mandatory filing requirement is applicable regardless of whether you have ever filed in the past and even if your employer withholds Sidney income tax from your paycheck. Sidney taxable income includes, but is not limited to, wages, salaries, and other compensation, bonuses, commissions, sick pay, vacation pay, severance pay, lottery winnings (from state and multistate lotteries to the extent reported to IRS by the payer), net rental income, and net profits of businesses, professions

The charges filed in Sidney Municipal Court were dismissed against several people after they paid the taxes, which in some cases covered several years. “While filing in court is not a preferred collection method, it serves to ensure that all taxpayers are paying their fair share of Sidney city income tax, said City Manager Mark Cundiff. He noted that some of the people had set up a payment plan with the city, but never followed through. “These aren’t all the and sole proprietorships. Sidney does not tax interest income, dividends, capital gains, welfare benefits, social security benefits, unemployment income, retirement income, or active military pay.

Amick explained all of those who have been charged or will be charged have been sent notices of the amount of taxes they owe. “We’ve been pretty successful,” Amick said of efforts to collect unpaid city income taxes. The deadline for filing 2012 city income tax returns is Monday. For any questions about city income tax issues, contact Lukey at 498-7255.

Any return filed after its due date (or extended due date, if applicable) will be subject to a $25 late filing fee, if filed within 60 days after the due date. If filed more than 60 days late, the late filing fee increases to $50. Retirees or those with

a permanent disability whose only source of income is from Social Security, pensions, interest or dividends need only file a one-time Exemption Form with the Revenue Collections office. This Exemption Form is available at City Hall or at www.sidneyoh.com. If you previously filed an Exemption Form but now have wage, rental activity, business net income or other Sidney taxable income, you will need to file a 2012 Sidney Income Tax return. City staff will help taxpayers prepare their Sidney return and there is no charge for this service. Simply bring in tax records (e.g. Federal 1040, all W-2’s, 1099Misc, and other federal schedules).

Kasich to continue Amish gather before prison terms fight for Medicaid expansion

AP Exclusive:

BY KANTELE FRANKO The Associated Press

BERGHOLZ (AP) — Bare feet and work boots shuffle on the wooden floor of the Amish schoolhouse as the children settle into tight rows of scuffed metal desks across the room from their parents — the men on one set of benches, women on another, some cradling younger children. They have gathered to celebrate the end of school, but no one claps or cheers. The only voices raised are those of the students as they begin singing, the melodies rising and dipping like the surrounding hills. A warm breeze carries the religious lyrics, mostly in German, through open windows and over the fields where families will mingle afterward. The ceremony is typically in late April, but this school year was cut short to allow some youngsters a few more days of family time before their parents leave for federal prison. “It’s a happy day on the outside, but not on the inside. On the inside, a lot of times we’re crying, but we have to keep our spirits up for the children’s sake,” said Martha Mullet. Her husband, Sam Mullet Sr., is the group’s leader and is among nine men already behind bars on hate crime convictions for hair- and beard-cutting attacks against fellow Amish. He was sentenced to 15 years,

AMISH MEN and children listen to children sing in a school house during the final day of class on Tuesday in Bergholz. The end-of-school celebration Tuesday served as the last big community gathering before four women and one man from this tight-knit group in rural eastern Ohio enter prison on Friday, joining nine already behind bars on hate crimes convictions for hair- and beard-cutting attacks against fellow Amish. the longest term of the 16 defendants. Seven aren’t yet in prison. Come Friday, five of them — four women and one more man — from this tight-knit group in rural eastern Ohio will enter the prison system in various states. That timing made Tuesday’s event the last big gathering before the five depart, and the participants gave The Associated Press a rare glimpse into their largely insular community. Men played baseball in buttoned shirts, work boots and blue pants with suspenders. Their wives, some barefoot, sat outdoors on benches from the schoolhouse, chatting as their long-sleeved,

blue and green dresses and white head scarves fluttered in the wind. Their children snacked and relaxed nearby, dressed like smaller versions of their parents. Martha Mullet said she believes the government is trying to split up the community, but members are determined to ensure the survival of the breakaway group her husband founded. Those who were attacked allege he led in authoritarian style, and at least one person described it as a cult where members’ “minds were programmed in the wrong way by Sam Mullet.” Mullet’s family denounces that description.

Such communities typically limit interaction with news media, but members of Mullet’s group in Bergholz said they were willing to talk because they feel they’ve been treated unfairly by the justice system. The Amish, who shun many facets of modern life, are deeply religious and believe the Bible instructs women to let their hair grow long and men to grow beards and stop shaving once they marry, which means cutting the hair would be shameful and offensive. Prosecutors brought hate crime charges because they said they believed the attacks were spurred by religious differences.

COLUMBUS (AP) — Ohio Gov. John Kasich said Wednesday he will continue to fight for extending Medicaid coverage under the federal health care law, a day after his fellow Republicans removed the proposal from the state budget. Kasich told reporters he doesn’t take it personally that GOP leaders in the Ohio House dropped the expansion from their version of the two-year budget proposal on Tuesday. “I just profoundly disagree,” he said. “I couldn’t state my position any clearer on this.” House Democrats said Wednesday they would try to bring the governor’s plans for Medicaid expansion to a vote. They introduced a separate bill that mirrors Kasich’s proposal to extend the federal-state program to provide health coverage to more low-income residents. The bill’s co-sponsor, state Rep. John Carney of Columbus, said he has talked to about a dozen Republicans who could potentially vote in favor of the legislation. Asked whether the measure has a chance, Republican House Speaker William Batchelder told reporters he didn’t know. “We’d have to do a head count that was pretty binding,” he said. Under the new federal law, states can opt out of an expanded Medicaid program. If the state chooses to go forward with expansion, roughly 366,000 Ohioans would be eligible for health coverage, beginning in 2014. In addition, the state would see $13 billion from the federal government over the next seven years to cover those newly eligible. Kasich in February proposed going forward with expansion, contending that it was the way for the state to recapture Ohio taxpayers’ federal money to provide medical care for those who were most vulnerable. “I want Ohio tax dollars to come back here to deal with Ohio’s problems,” the governor repeated on Wednesday. Instead, Republican lawmakers added $100 million for mental health and addiction services for the two-year fiscal term that begins July 1. Kasich said he was pleased the House recognized that those who suffer from mental illness or drug addiction need extra help. “But this is not enough, as far as I’m concerned,” he told reporters. Also Wednesday, Batchelder backed off a remark he made that some of the House Republicans “might shoot themselves before they voted for it (Medicaid expansion).” He told reporters he was tired and didn’t recall making the comment. “But if I did, obviously, it was stupid,” he said.

TODAY IN HISTORY

Obama’s budget:

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Spending cuts, higher smokers’ taxes

Today is Thursday, April 11, the 101st day of 2013. There are 264 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On April 11, 1913, Postmaster General Albert S. Burleson, during a meeting of President Woodrow Wilson’s Cabinet, proposed segregating gradually whites and blacks who worked for the Railway Mail Service, a policy which went into effect and spread to other agencies. On this date: • In 1689, William III and Mary II were crowned as joint sovereigns of Britain. • In 1713, the Treaty of Utrecht was signed, ending the War of the Spanish Succession. • In 1814, Napoleon Bonaparte abdicated as Emperor of the French and was banished to the island of Elba. • In 1921, Iowa became the first state to impose a cigarette tax, at 2 cents a package. • In 1945, during World War II, American soldiers liberated the notorious Nazi concentration camp Buchenwald in Germany. • In 1951, President Harry S. Truman relieved Gen. Douglas MacArthur of his commands in the Far East. • In 1953, Oveta Culp Hobby became the first Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare. • In 1963, Pope John XXIII issued his final encyclical, “Pacem in Terris” — “Peace on Earth.” • In 1970, Apollo 13, with astronauts James A. Lovell, Fred W. Haise and Jack Swigert, blasted off on its illfated mission to the moon. • In 1979, Idi Amin was deposed as president of Uganda as rebels and exiles backed by Tanzanian (tanzuh-NEE’-uhn) forces seized control. • In 1983, at the Academy Awards, “Gandhi” was named best picture; its star, Ben Kingsley, won best actor while Meryl Streep received the best actress Oscar for “Sophie’s Choice.” • In 1988, “The Last Emperor” won best picture at the Academy Awards ceremony; Cher won best actress for “Moonstruck,” Michael Douglas best actor for “Wall Street.”

OUT OF THE BLUE Journey back to 1993 NEW YORK (AP) — Want to journey to a grittier time in New York City’s nottoo-distant past, when the murder rate was sky-high, Times Square was a crossroads of crime and porn, Starbucks had yet to arrive, and hardly anyone owned a cellphone? A project designed to promote an art exhibit has turned 5,000 Manhattan pay phones into time machines that take callers back to 1993, a pivotal year in the city’s art, culture and politics. Pick up a receiver on the rarely used phones that still dot the New York streetscape, punch 1-855FOR-1993 and you will hear a notable resident recounting what life was like on that block 20 years ago. “We liked, creatively, the idea of using a sort of slightly broken, disused system as the canvas of this project,” said Scott Chinn of Droga5, the ad agency behind the campaign for an exhibit titled “NYC 1993: Experimental Jet Set, Trash and No Star.” An eclectic mix of artists, writers, food and fashion stars, and others has been recruited to reminisce, including chef Mario Batali, actor Chazz Palminteri, and former Yankees pitcher Jim Abbott.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Mixing modest curbs on spending with tax increases reviled by Republicans, President Barack Obama proposed a $3.8 trillion budget on Wednesday that would raise taxes on smokers and wealthy Americans and trim Social Security benefits for millions. Obama’s 2014 blueprint combines a $242 billion infusion of new spending for road and rail projects, early education and jobs initiatives — all favored by Democrats — with longer-term savings from programs including Medicare and the military. It promises at least a start in cutting huge an-

nual federal deficits. The president pitched his plan as a good-faith offer to his GOP rivals since it incorporates a proposal he made to Republicans in December that wasn’t radically different from a GOP plan drafted by House Speaker John Boehner. But it follows January’s bitterly fought 10-year, $600 billionplus tax increase that has stiffened GOP resolve against further tax hikes. “I have already met Republicans more than halfway, so in the coming days and weeks I hope that Republicans will come forward and demonstrate that they’re really as serious

about the deficit and debt as they claim to be,” Obama said. He was having a dozen Senate Republicans to the White House for dinner Wednesday evening in hopes of building a dialogue on the budget and other topics. After four years of trilliondollar-plus deficits in his first term, Obama’s plan projects a $973 billion deficit for the current budget year and red ink of $744 billion for the 2014 fiscal year starting in October. By 2016, the deficit is seen as dropping below 3 percent of the size of the economy, a level that many economists say is manageable.

Obama cast his budget as a compromise offer that would bridge differences between Republicans and their desire for reducing government spending and Democrats who want more revenue from taxpayers. But it’s difficult to overstate the gulf between Obama and the conservatives who are in the GOP driver’s seat in Congress. While the budget proposal will not prompt any immediate congressional action, it will probably surface this summer when Republicans are expected to demand additional reductions in the deficit in exchange for increasing the nation’s borrowing authority.

U.S. ARMY soldiers prepare for an exercise during their annual military drills with South Korea in Yeoncheon, South Korea, near the border with North Korea, Wednesday. The prospect of a North Korean missile launch is “considerably high,” South Korea’s foreign minister told lawmakers Wednesday as Pyongyang prepared to mark the April 15 birthday of its founder, historically a time when it seeks to draw the world’s attention with dramatic displays of military power.

No panic in North Korea despite talk of missile test PYONGYANG, North Korea (AP) — As the world braced for a provocative missile launch by North Korea, with newscasts worldwide playing up tensions on the Korean Peninsula, the center of the storm was strangely calm. The focus in Pyongyang on Wednesday was less on preparing for war and more on beautifying the capital ahead of the nation’s biggest holiday: the April 15 birthday of the nation’s founder, Kim Il Sung. Soldiers put down their rifles to blanket the barren ground with sod and students picked up shovels to help plant trees. But the impoverished, tightly controlled nation that has historically used major holidays to draw the world’s attention by showing off its military power could well mark the occasion by testing a missile designed to strike U.S. military installations in Japan and Guam. South Korea’s foreign minister said the prospect of a medium-range missile launch is “considerably high.” North Korean officials have not announced plans to launch a missile in defiance of U.N.

Security Council resolutions barring Pyongyang from nuclear and missile activity. But they have told foreign diplomats in Pyongyang that they will not be able to guarantee their safety starting Wednesday and urged tourists in South Korea to take cover, warning that a nuclear war is imminent. Most diplomats and foreign residents in both capitals appeared to be staying put. The European Union said there was no need for member states to evacuate or relocate their diplomatic missions, but it called on North Korea to “refrain from further provocative declarations or action.” The threats are largely seen as rhetoric and an attempt by North Korea to scare foreigners into pressing their governments to pressure Washington and Seoul to change their policies toward Pyongyang, as well as to boost the military credentials of its young leader, Kim Jong Un. North Korea does not have diplomatic relations with the U.S. and South Korea, its foes during the Korean War of the 1950s, and has pushed for a peace treaty to re-

place a 60-year-old armistice. On the streets of Pyongyang, there was no sense of panic. Downtown, schoolchildren marched toward statues of the two late leaders, Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il, dragging brooms to sweep the hilltop plaza where they tower over Pyongyang. Women with coats thrown over traditional dresses rushed through the spring chill after leaving a rehearsal for a dance planned for Kim Il Sung’s birthday celebrations. At the base of Mansu Hill, a group of young people held a small rally to pledge their loyalty to Kim Jong Un and to sing the Kim ode, “We Will Defend the Marshal With Our Lives.” Kim Un Chol, the 40-yearold head of a political unit at Pyongyang’s tobacco factory, said he had been discharged from the military but was willing to re-enlist if war breaks out. He said North Koreans were resolute. “The people of Pyongyang are confident. They know we can win any war,” he told The Associated Press.

GUNS facing re-election next year in GOP-leaning states. In the Republican-run House, leaders have shown little enthusiasm for Obama’s ideas, making that chamber an even higher hurdle. Under the agreement the two senators announced at the Capitol, background checks would be expanded to all forprofit transactions including sales at gun shows and online, with records kept by licensed gun-dealers who would handle the paperwork. Exempted would be noncommercial transactions such as between relatives. Currently, the system applies only to sales by the country’s 55,000 federally licensed firearms dealers. The agreement also con-

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Joshua and Sharyn Hakken seemed to have a charmed life, doting on their two young boys, buying a comfortable home and building successful careers as engineers. It all derailed last year when police in Louisiana found the family inside a hotel room with drugs, weapons and promises from the parents to take “a journey to the Armageddon.” The couple is now jailed on charges they kidnapped the boys from their grandparents in Florida and sailed to Cuba on a boat called “Salty” to elude U.S. authorities. The family arrived in Florida early Wednesday morning, accompanied by federal, state and local authorities after being handed over by Cuban officials. Four-yearold Cole and 2-year-old Chase are now with their grandparents, and their parents are in jail, closing a bizarre ordeal that began with an Amber Alert and ended with diplomatic intervention. Friends of the couple said the family seemed happy and had no marital problems. “This is a train that went completely off the tracks, and I don’t have any explanation for how it can go off the track that badly basically in a year and a half. It’s very bizarre,” said Darrell Hanecki, who employed Sharyn Hakken for nearly a decade at Hanecki Consulting Engineers. Hanecki said she was an easygoing and relaxed employee who worked from the home they owned in sunny Tampa so she could spend more time with the kids. She brought the boys into the office a few times to show them off to her colleagues. “The kids were really wellbehaved. From everything I could tell, she was a great mom. Her kids were definitely her priority,” Hanecki said. He said Sharyn Hakken was pragmatic and responsible, graduating from the University of South Florida in 2008. She occasionally gave advice to Hanecki’s daughter, an aspiring engineer, and encouraged her to stay in school and finish her degree. She resigned in 2011, saying it was too difficult to juggle work with caring for an infant and toddler.

From Page 1 tains provisions expanding firearms rights, and that concerns gun control supporters. Some restrictions on transporting guns across state lines would be eased, sellers would be shielded from lawsuits if the buyer passed a check but later used a firearm in a crime and gun dealers could conduct business in states where they don’t live. “Truly the events at Newtown changed us all,” said Manchin, citing the Connecticut town where December’s murders of 20 first-graders and six educators propelled gun control to the top rank of national issues. “Americans on both sides of the debate can and must find common ground.”

Emotion, always prominent in the gun issue, cropped up late Wednesday when Manchin met with relatives of the Newtown victims in his Senate office, telling them that “this will not be in vain.” He became choked up when a reporter asked about the impact of the family members’ visit, saying, “I’m a parent, a grandparent … and I had to do something.” Said Toomey: “Criminals and the dangerously mentally ill shouldn’t have guns. I don’t know anyone who disagrees with that premise.” He said that expanding the checks wasn’t gun control, “just common sense.” The agreement makes it all but certain that the Senate

will reject a conservative blockade and vote Thursday to begin debating Democrats’ gun legislation. Besides broader background check requirements, the bill would also toughen laws against illicit firearms sales and provide a small increase in school security aid. Underscoring that the fight was far from over, NRA spokesman Andrew Arulanandam said the organization opposes the Manchin-Toomey accord. The group, which has fought most of Obama’s gun proposals and claims nearly 5 million members, said the focus should be on improving the nation’s mental health system and sources of violence like gangs.

‘Merry Wives’ at Edison Theater troupe sets Shakespeare in Old South PIQUA — The Edison Stagelight Players have chosen Shakespeare’s comedy, “The Merry Wives of Windsor,” for its spring theater production. The play opens Friday at 7:30 p.m. in the theater on the Piqua campus. Additional performances, all at 7:30 p.m., will be Saturday and April 19-21. The plot concerns Sir John Falstaff, tavern bad boy and unruly knight, who meets his match when he tries to scam the housewives of suburban Windsor. And he is not alone. All manner of hot-headed, jealous, pompous and just plain silly men are brought firmly to their senses by Windsor’s merry women. In this silliest of Shakespeare’s comedies, virtue and middle-class common sense triumph with the assurance that, “Wives may be merry, and yet honest too.” Director Matt Beisner said he is very excited about producing one of lesserShakespeare’s known and even lessperformed comedies.

The play opens Friday. “We decided to do ‘The Merry Wives of Windsor’ because of its potential to make people laugh,” Beisner said. “This is the only play by Shakespeare that includes all middle-class characters. People can really relate to them! It also gives the actors freedom to explore their characters and make them as real and true to life as possible.” Shakespeare’s stories

have such timeless themes that they can be set in any time period or location. “We are setting the play in Windsor, N.C., during the 1870s Civil War reconstruction,” Beisner said. “I felt it was a fish-out-of-water story which would fit nicely in a post-Civil War era. It adds a nice Southern flavor to go along with the funny, charming, and somewhat pompous characters the

into a human family reminds me that at our core, God sees us as part of the creation God declared to be “very good.” And how can I be a Christian and not be in love with Easter? I cannot help but share the hope that radiates from the empty tomb. I love knowing that the revelation that life conquers death first came to the marginalized of society — women. I love sharing that even though these women were not believed, Christ did not give up on us. Instead, Jesus decided to walk with his devastated followers along a road and appear to his disciples that were so afraid they had locked themselves in a room for two weeks. Talk about living in a closet of fear! I love that Christ’s answer to fear is to want us to experience peace and that the simple act of sharing a meal could allow him to stir the hearts of his followers to see him in all his glory.

You may be a Christian who attends church regularly, twice a year, or only for weddings and funerals. You may be a person who has lost your faith or has serious doubts. You may be a person for whom most of what I have been sharing sounds like a foreign language. Regardless of where you fall on this spectrum, my prayer is that the warmth of the risen Son may shine upon you this Easter season and that when you turn around you see the open arms of God desiring to embrace you and declare you as a member of God’s household. I also pray that God places people in your life who can walk with you and support you in your lifelong journey toward the joy of Easter morning. The writer is the priest-in-charge at St. James Episcopal Church, Piqua, and St. Mark’s Episcopal Church, Sidney.

is ‘Divine Healing’

TIPP CITY — United Theological Seminary’s Church Renewal Conference, “Light the Fire! Divine Healing,” will be April 18 and 19, at Ginghamsburg Church. Clergy, students, ministry leaders, social workers and the general public interested in the possibility of discovering healing through prayer are encouraged to attend. New at the conference is a special worship service for divine healing open to the public from 4 to 5 p.m. April 18 at the church, 6759 S. County Road 25A. “Even if you don’t attend the conference, you are invited to the divine healing worship service,” said Dr. Jason Vickers, United’s associate professor of theology and Wesleyan studies. “We have been hearing so much about healing in global Christianity and now is the perfect time to explore divine healing as a practice.” Although many peo-

ple have been taught that divine healing was restricted to the ministry of Jesus and the apostles, and that we are no longer privileged to claim this divine intervention in human sickness, the recent upsurge of the teaching and practice of divine healing has caused many people to restudy the subject. As a result of this study, many ministers and lay persons are making the discovery that healing is still available to all who will appropriate it through faith in Jesus And many Christ. churches have reinstituted praying for the sick in their services. A portion of the Light the Fire! proceeds will be donated to Ginghamsburg’s Sudan Project. To date, the Ginghamsburg congregation has invested $6.1 million into sustainable humanitarian projects.

Archdiocese celebrates anniversary RELIGION BRIEFS of ‘Peace on Earth’ encyclical and dignity of all, providing “new hope to the world,” as proclaimed by Pope Benedict XVI in his 2012 World Day of Peace Message. That evening, from 7 to 8:30 at the Schiff Family Conference Center at Cintas, John Carr will share the timeless vision of Peace on Earth, promoted from Pope John XXIII to Pope Benedict XVI, and encourage ongoing efforts to promote life, peace, and justice for all. He will also explore the implications of the election of Pope Francis on the church’s efforts to live out Pacem in Terris in our time. Carr, who also will give a keynote speech during the morning, recently retired from more than 20 years as the executive director of the Justice, Peace and

Gender segregation now mandatory in Gaza schools GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip (AP) — Starting with the new school year in September, Gaza boys and girls in middle and high school will be breaking the law if they study side by side. Gaza’s Islamic militant Hamas rulers argue that the new legislation, mandating gender separation in schools from age 9, enshrines common practice. But women’s activists warned it’s another step in the Hamas agenda of imposing its fundamentalist world view on Gaza’s 1.7 million people. The Gaza rules appear harsh compared to Western practice but are not unusual in parts of the Arab and Muslim world. In Iraq, for example, boys and girls are required by law to study separately after age 12. Hamas has been running Gaza since its violent takeover of the crowded coastal territory in 2007. While the group advocates the establishment of an Islamic state in all of the Mideast, including Israel, it has moved cautiously in spreading its ultraconservative version of Islam. It has issued a series of rules restricting women or requiring them to cover up in the traditional Islamic dress of long robes and headscarves. Other edicts include bans on women smoking water pipes in public, riding on the backs of motorcycles or getting their hair done by male stylists.

Churches to hold parish mission program COVINGTON — St. Teresa Catholic Church of Covington and Immaculate Conception Catholic Church of Bradford will welcome Franciscan the Rev. Gregg Friedman during their parish mission to be held April 21, 22 and 23 at St. Teresa Church, 6925 U.S. 36. The three presentations will include: • April 21 at 6 p.m.: “Faith is an island in the setting sun.” This line from a popular song by Paul Simon highlights the theme, which will be how we believe in God in a skeptical world. • April 22 at 7 p.m.: “Jesus: Word and Sacrament.” Explore how we believe in Jesus, what our faith tells us, and how Christ is the sacrament of God and, in turn, the church is the sacra-

ment of Jesus Christ. • April 23 at 7 p.m.: “I believe in the Holy Spirit and the holy Catholic church.” What is our understanding of the Holy Spirit? How does the spirit connect us to faith, and to the church and its sacramental life? Topics will also include participation in the life of the parish, the Eucharist, and encouraging the habit of the sacrament of reconciliation. The format of the three presentations will be open hymn and prayer with a Scripture reading, 15-minute talk, brief sharing on a question, and an additional 15-minute presentation. The mission will conclude with intercessory prayers for the parish and the church, along with benediction.

Social Justice Lecture Series begins Sunday WAPAKONETA — The Petersburg Parishes’ Social Justice Lecture Series begins on Sunday at 2 p.m. with Working with Low-Income Individuals and Families: An Advocate’s Perspective, by Dianna Parker. The program will be presented in the Parish Life Center of St. Joseph Church, Blackhoof and Pearl streets, Wapakoneta.

That’s how long this drug stays in the system. The prime chemical in marijuana, THC, hides in fatty tissue. This means that THC can be stored for long periods of time in the body’s high-fat organs, such as the lungs, brain and reproductive organs. Alcohol, because it is water-soluble, leaves the body within hours. This would be an excellent time for your boyfriend to stop using marijuana completely and get retested at a later date.

Lehman presents 35th annual musical: Guys and Dolls !

About the show Opening at the 46th Street Theatre on November 24, 1950, Guys and Dolls turned out to be one of Broadway’s most hilarious musical comedies, although it was originally planned as a serious romantic story. Producers Cy Feuer and Earnest Martin were intrigued by the unlikely romance of a pure-at-heart Salvation Army reformer and a slick gambler, as portrayed in Damon Runyon’s short story “The Idyll of Miss Sarah Brown.” They enlisted composer Frank Loesser with whom they had collaborated on Where’s Charley?, a musical version of the play Charley’s Aunt. They tried 10 different playwrights before hiring Jo Swerling, the Hollywood screenwriter who penned the book for the movie Pride of the Yankees. Once into the project, they realized that the story would only work if it was played for laughs. This led them to add radio and television comedy writer Abe Burrows to the writing staff. Burrows added the comedy and later worked with Loesser, Feuer, and Martin on another highly successful musical comedy, How To Succeed in Business Without Really Trying (produced by LCHS in 2007). This is the second production of Guys and Dolls at Lehman Catholic, as we presented the show in 1995. Guys and Dolls received what might be the most unanimous set of rave reviews in Broadway history. It won eight Tony awards, including “Best Musical,” and ran for 1200 performances. The 1992 revival ran two years and won the Tony for “Best Revival.” The popular 1955 film version starred Marlon Brando, Vivian Blaine, Frank Sinatra, and Jean Simmons.

Week of Young Child event set PIQUA — The Early Childhood Education Program at Edison Community College will join the National Association for the Education of Young Children Monday through April 19 in celebrating the Week of the Young Child. The Week of the Young Child is an annual celebration sponsored by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC). The purpose of the event is to focus public attention on the needs of young children, their families and to recognize early childhood professionals, programs and services that meet those needs. To kick off the event, Edison president Dr. Cris Valdez signed a proclamation designating the week of April 15-19 as the Week of the Young Child at Edison. Valdez signed the proclamation after meeting with all of the kids from the Child Development Center. “The Edison Child Development Center is deeply committed to providing high quality education and care for young children and values the role it plays in helping to shape tomorrow’s teachers,” said Kelli Gerlach, head teacher and coordinator of the Child Development Center. “We also recognize that it takes the support of many to make the early learning years truly successful.” The Edison Child Development Center is a nationally accredited developmental program and provides education to children between the ages of 3-10 years. The center has received the ThreeStar Step Up To Quality Award from the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services.

The story of Guys and Dolls, a “Musical Fable of Broadway,” centers around Nathan Detroit, a small time operator who is having a tough time finding a spot for his floating crap game. He needs $1000 to rent the Biltmore Garage so he makes a bet with high roller Sky Masterson that Sky cannot get a doll to go with him to Havana. Sky says he can take any doll Nathan can name so Nathan points to Sarah Brown, who runs the Salvation Army Mission. In plotting to win Sarah’s affections, Sky can’t help but overhear that Sarah’s Mission is threatened with closure. So he promises to deliver one dozen first-class sinners to her next prayer meeting if she will accompany him to dinner – at his favorite restaurant in Havana. Sarah says she will never date a gambler, but desperate to save the Mission, she agrees to the date. On the trip, they begin to fall in love. Meanwhile, Nathan is having trouble hiding the crap game from his fiancée of 14 years, Miss Adelaide, a dancer at the Hot Box Club. To divert her attention, he promises her they will finally elope to get married. When Sky and Sarah return from Cuba and find Nathan holding his crap game in the empty Mission, Sarah is hurt and angry. Sky knows he must deliver the sinners he promised to win back her trust and affection so he finds the crapshooters and rolls them “for their souls.” He wins and they are forced to go to the prayer meeting, forcing Nathan to miss his elopement. In the end, Adelaide and Sarah both get their guys, vowing to “marry the man today, and change his ways tomorrow.”

HOROSCOPE BY FRANCES DRAKE For Friday, April 12, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Remember that it is your turn to recharge your batteries for the rest of the year. Don’t be afraid to do your own thing! TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Your birthday is approaching, which means your personal year is ending. Take time to think about what you want your new year to be all about. How do you want it to be different? GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Accept all invitations right now. This is a popular time for you, and it’s important that you enjoy schmoozing with others. Discuss your hopes for the future, because the feedback from others will help. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) People in authority are impressed by you in the next few weeks. You just “look good” to them. If they ask you to take on increased responsibilities, accept. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Explore publishing opportunities, because they exist now and in the next few weeks. Many of you want to make travel plans or get away somewhere different if you can. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Tidy up loose details about inheritances, taxes, debt and insurance matters. This stuff isn’t going to go away on its own, unfortunately. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Remember that you need more sleep now because the Sun is as far away from your sign as it gets all year. (The Sun is your source of energy.) SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Since you have a strong urge to get better organized, use this to your advantage! Get hold of what you need in order to do a great job — file folders, labels, paint, cleaning equipment, shelving, whatever. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Romance, playful times with children, sports and social diversions are tops on the menu for the next few weeks for you. Get out and enjoy yourself! CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Redecorating projects and renovations are the order of the day for you, because your focus is on improving your home. Be patient with family members while this goes on. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Short trips and discussions with practically everyone are the stimulation you need now. For some reason, you have a strong urge to enlighten others about your ideas. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Continue to focus on how you can boost your earnings. However, not only are you working hard, you’re spending as well! (Oh my.) YOU BORN TODAY You are responsive to what’s happening in society, which is why many of you are involved in groups and causes. Invariably, you’re a leader. You stay abreast of current events and often are a spokesperson for others, especially the downtrodden. Sometimes you’re impulsive. In the year ahead, you will work to build or construct something important. Your rewards soon will follow. Birthdate of: Claire Danes, actress; Vince Gill, singer; Andy Garcia, actor.

The persistent pain in the feet and legs is very likely the result of the underlying neuropathy. Diabetic neuropathy often causes pain and numbness, usually of the feet, but sometimes in the hands as well. Good control of the diabetes is essential, and medications can help, especially medicines like amitriptyline (Elavil), pregabalin (Lyrica) or duloxetine (Cymbalta). A lidocaine patch is a local anesthetic that numbs the

It often takes some time to find the right medication for a given person, and it also takes time to increase the dosage to an effective level.

OF THE

DEAR ABBY: What is the correct response when asked at a doctor’s office or hospital if you drink? I drink socially, maybe once a month. Should I say yes? If I do, I’m afraid it will imply that I drink more often. I always end up feeling awkward and like I need to explain myself. I’m pretty proud telling them I don’t smoke or do drugs, but the alcohol question always gets me. What do other people who drink on occasion usually say? — FILLING OUT THE FORMS IN OHIO DEAR FILLING: In my doctor’s office I was asked that question, and my response was, “Yes, OCCASIONALLY.” At that point, the follow-up question was, “How many drinks do you have a week?” Because this particular question makes you uncomfortable, mention to your physician that you indulge in alcohol only about once a month — which is practically negligible.

50 years April 11, 1963 All bids received on construction of a new boiler room and laundry at the Shelby County Home have been rejected and new plans will be drawn for the project. This was decided by county commissioners Tuesday afternoon after further study of bids that had been made on the heating, plumbing, electric and general contracts. Commissioners now plan, it was said, to “start all over again” and have Ferd E. Freytag, Sidney architect, prepare new plans and specifications for the improvement. New bids then would be sought. ——— Fastest part of the 50mile walk which Jim Blackston, 16, and Carl Sharp Jr., 19, took in 17 hours and 45 minutes Friday was the finale – a walk to the bathtub and to bed.

High School pupils started for Bellefontaine at 2:15 a.m. Friday, arrived there and were back in Sidney at 8 p.m. Average was 2.8 miles per hour but the first four miles they made in an hour. Both of them admit today that if it had not been for friends who came out to “cheer them on” they never would have made it from Port Jefferson to Sidney. Neither of them had blisters but both had muscles in their legs that they didn’t know they had.

25 years April 11, 1988 LOS ANGELES (AP) — “The Last Emperor,” the lavish epic of China directed by an Italian, conquered Hollywood by capturing nine Oscars, the most for any film in 26 years. Cher won best actress for portrayal of a widow who discovers love in “Moonstruck.” Michael Douglas, the greedy, unethical inside trader of “Wall Street,” was named best actor at Monday night’s 60th-annual Academy Awards ceremony. Best supporting performers were Olympia Dukakis, as Cher’s outspoken Italian mother coping with a wayward husband in “Moonstruck,” and Sean Connery, the hard-fisted, incorruptible Chicago beat cop in “The Untouchables.” ——— SPRINGS, PALM Calif. (AP) — Sonny Bono, who easily won the mayor’s office of this desert resort, says his fame as Cher’s ex-husband and former singing partner was both an asset and a handicap during his campaign. “I think the celebrity status got me a lot of name identification,” Bono, 53, said after Tuesday’s victory, but said it was hard to overcome his image as “a straight man for Cher” — who won her first Academy Award the night before. ——— Robert J. Siewert has been appointed president of The Monarch Machine Tool Co., headquartered in Sidney. The action of the board of directors was announced today by Kermit Kuck, chairman of the board and chief executive officer. Siewert, 49, has been in the machine tool business for 23 years and comes to Monarch from Oerlikon-Motch Corp. of Cleveland where he held the position of vice president-general manager of the machine tool group.

Committees discuss activities Ceremony set details and discussed the next steps for the contract during the meeting. Botkins Police Chief Tom Glass discussed the school walk through he did at Botkins Local Schools. The committee was told that David Egbert has been sworn in as a firefighter and will begin FTO class. The Service Committee met recently and Village Administrator Jesse Kent told those present that the paving quote from Freisthler was not ready yet. Committee members were told that village utility employees are continuing to install replacement water meters in the village. Kent is hoping to get back information on easements from Village Solicitor Stan Evans regarding the force main sewer. Kent suggested to committee members that they might want to think about applying for a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) if village council members decide that Edgewood Street and South Mill Street full depth rebuild should be approved for next year. Finance Committee members met recently

and took action approving a request from the Botkins Fire Department for the FDIC convention in Indianapolis for training and hotel rooms. It will cover up to eight firefighters at a cost of $40 per person and two hotel rooms. The finance committee approved a request for Cleveland State University online fire training at a cost of $20 per person per year. The request was approved. The village’s Joint Recreation Board met and Terry Wilt, a special guest, discussed a number of improvements for the 2013 baseball season. It was noted that a lot of time has been spent on repairing the press boxes. Committee member Josh Meyer suggested having a softball fundraiser to help with the costs. Kent told committee members that Botkins Local School has taken no action to replace their mower. It is possible that money from the school bid might be used for “certain machinery” in the next few months. Committee member Andy Yenser said he would see about purchasing a replacement buckeye tree for the village park.

Council invited to groundbreaking BOTKINS — Botkins Village Council members received an invitation to attend the Botkins Local Schools groundbreaking ceremony and heard a request from the Botkins FFA during their recent meeting. They also accepted the resignation of a council member. Angie Woodruff, a member of the Botkins Local Schools Board of Education, attended the meeting and invited council members to attend the Botkins Local Schools groundbreaking scheduled Sunday at 2 p.m. Woodruff thanked council members for their support. Woodruff told council members that there would be approximately six trailers parked back in the village trailer park. She noted those trailers are there for construction purposes. Speaking on behalf of the Beautification Committee, Woodruff told council members that the shelter has been ordered for the park. The Botkins FFA Chapter gave council members a report and requested to be able to farm the park ground again this year. It would be at no charge to the village. The council approved the request, but it was noted that it must be land owned by the village or they must ask permission from the new owner. The council accepted the resignation of Ashlee Zimpher as a council member. Zimpher noted that she needed to resign due to a conflict of interest. Mayor Steve Woodruff accepted her resignation. According to Village Administrator Jesse Kent, the council plans to consider anyone interested in serving as Zimpher’s replacement. Kent noted that approximately a half dozen people have expressed interest in the job. The council has 30 days to vote for a person to fill

an unexpired term. If they do not reach a decision in 30 days, the mayor is to appoint someone to the term. Kent stated that Linda Poeppleman from the Botkins Swim Team asked for spectator insurance to be added as a rider on the pool insurance with Ruese Insurance at an additional cost of $35 per year. The cost would be paid by the swim team. The council approved the request. Kent told council members that Teresa Featheringham, who recently resigned as the village’s fiscal officer, is currently the lone signer on two bank accounts for the village. Kent suggested that the new fiscal officer Tammy Ganger be added as a signer as well as Mayor Steve Woodruff and Kent. They would be able to sign on accounts to help in the future with new hires and auditors. Mayor Steve Woodruff thanked Featheringham for her service and wished her well. Tammy Ganger has been hired to replace Featheringham. Her employment is contingent on her passing a drug test. The village of Botkins will have their annual garage sales on May 11. The event is being coordinated by the Catholic youth ministry. Kent told council members there was nothing new to report on the track transfer. He noted that the Botkins Athletic Boosters voted to give the track and land to Botkins Local School. The council approved a number of ordinances and resolutions during their meeting including: • Approved the third reading and adoption of an ordinance for a no passing zone on County Road 25A. • Approved the third reading and adoption of

an ordinance designating a no parking area in the Village of Botkins. • Approved an ordinance and suspending the rules, declaring an emergency and suspending the readings and approving appointing Tammy Ganger as fiscal officer and fixing her compensation. • Approved an ordinance and suspending the rules, declaring an emergency and suspending the readings and waiving the residency requirement for

Tammy Ganger. • Approved a resolution and suspending the rules, declaring an emergency and suspending the readings and approving naming signers for a bank account with Minster Bank. • Approved a resolution suspending the rules, declaring an emergency and suspending the readings and approving naming signers for a bank account with First National Bank.

BOTKINS — The Botkins School District will host groundbreaking ceremonies for the construction of a new K12 school Sunday at 2 p.m. at the construction site, 404 E. State St. In case of inclement weather, the ceremony will be held in the high school gymnasium. The public is invited to attend. District voters passed a 7.99 mill bond levy Nov. 8, 2011, to build the new facility. Seventy-five per-

cent of the cost of the project will be funded by the Classroom Facilities Assistance Program administered by the Ohio School Facilities Commission. The total cost of the project is $24,428,306. The 106,757-square-foot building is expected to be completed by December 2014. Additional information about the project can be found on the diswebsite, trict’s www.botkins.k12.oh.us.

Festival planning underway ANNA — The Anna Civic Association is making plans for the Anna Homecoming Festival in June and approved scholarships during a recent meeting.

BOTKINS — A number of village committees met recently and discussed a number of activities and approved actions during their recent meetings. Botkins Fire Chief Pat Fullenkamp met with the Botkins Fire Safety Committee recently and told members that the Botkins Fire Department purchased a demonstration set of Jaws of Life. Fullenkamp discussed selling the old set, which is 23 years old. There are no longer blades available for that set. He noted that the prototype set that came with the equipment truck is not serviceable. Committee members were told that Luke Greve has stepped down as the Botkins Fire Department Captain. Tom Glass is now serving as captain and Scott Poppleman is serving as a 2nd Lieutenant. Among other activities, the fire department has been working on an ISO for the townships, sent five firefighters to training in Bowling Green, received portable radios 12 through a Sheets Grant and plans to hold drivers training.

REPLAY 50 years ago April 11, 1963 Sidney’s first entry in years in the American Bowling Congress annual classic, currently in progress in Buffalo, was the Hosack and Son Construction team. Down 400 pins from its average, the crew finished out of the money. The team included Mel Davis, Everett Hittepole, Gary Cole, Cloyd Smedley and Red Anger.

25 years ago April 11, 1988 Laura Watkins pitched a two-hitter in the opener and Bev Conrad struck out 13 in the nightcap as the Sidney girls softball team rolled to a doubleheader win over Celina Saturday, 15-0 and 15-1. Sidney had 32 hits on the day, and Megan Inman led the way with six hits in nine trips, including two triples and a double.

10 years ago April 11, 2003 He was the only one Botkins school officials wanted. But he didn’t say yes right away. Brett Meyer has been an assistant boys basketball coach for the past 10 years, all at Botkins. He was first an assistant under Tony Rogers, and then Doug Hughes. And after talking things over with his wife, Meyer decided the time was right to make a move up. He was approved this week by the school board as the next head coach of the Trojans boys.

QUOTE OF THE DAY “Hey, you the man. Being loyal, being there day in and day out. I really respect that. Thank you” —Yankees’ pitcher Mariano Rivera, to John Adams, the guy sitting at the top of the bleachers year after year pounding on a drum to try to spark a rally for the Cleveland Indians.

ON THIS DATE IN 1965 — Jack Nicklaus shoots a record 271 and wins the Masters by nine strokes over Arnold Palmer and Gary Player. 1966 — Jack Nicklaus wins his third Masters and becomes the first to win in consecutive years as he shoots a 70 in an 18-hole playoff to beat Tommy Jacobs and Gay Brewer. 2004 — Phil Mickelson's agonizing pursuit of a major ends at the Masters when he makes an 18-foot birdie putt on the final hole, ending a spectacular backnine duel with Ernie Els.

Not always kind to favorite AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) — The first tee shot clattered through a pair of pines on the left side of the 13th fairway, finally landing on the wrong side of Rae’s Creek. Tiger Woods tried again, and this wasn’t any better. Fans peered across the fairway and only heard the ball rifle through some bushes. “He’s hitting another one,” a man announced from the gallery. The third shot with a fairway metal caused them to retreat until it turned with a slight draw, clipping a pine branch and settling in the second cut of rough. Woods played nine holes Wednesday morning in his final tuneup for the Masters, and how he played was of little consequence. Even so, that snapshot from the 13th tee was another reminder how quickly the best plans can fall apart, even for the No. 1 player on top of his game, especially at Augusta National. Think back to Woods at his absolute best. He won 10 times in 2000, including three majors, and finished no worse than fifth in 19 of his 22 tournaments worldwide. Going into the Masters, he either won or finished second in 10 of his previous 11 PGA Tour events. It felt as though everyone was playing for second at Augusta that year. What happened? Woods made a double bogey and a triple bogey in a span of three holes, shot 75 in the opening round and never caught up. The hype over Woods is not that strong this year, though there is no doubt who is driving the conversation. Those who have played with him on the course or hit balls next to him on the range talked about how he never missed a shot. His putting has been pure since he got that tip from Steve Stricker last month at Doral. And it shows in the scores. Woods has won his last two tournaments, at Doral and Bay Hill, and neither was terribly close. When the Masters begins Thursday, he is the odds-on fa-

Five Woods? Coming off his third win in five PGA Tour events this season, will this be the year Tiger Woods moves ahead of Arnold Palmer in green jackets? Back to No.1 in the world ranking for the first time since the final week of October 2010, Woods heads to the Masters looking to end a five-year major drought. Four of Woods’ 14 major titles have come at Augusta National, where he last won in 2005. 1

vorite to end his five-year drought in the majors, and win a green jacket for the first time since 2005. Trouble is, Augusta National doesn’t play favorites. “Obviously, Tiger is Tiger,” said Scott Piercy, who will play alongside Woods and Luke Donald in the opening two rounds. “He’s always going to be that target. He knows it, and that’s how he wants it. But there’s a lot of people getting closer. And the golfing gods, or whatever you want to call them, have a lot to do with winning. A bounce here, a bounce there. A lip in, a lip out.” Angel Cabrera got one of

those bounces off a pine tree and back into the 18th fairway in 2009 that helped him save par and win a playoff on the next hole. Sure, he was a former U.S. Open champion, but the big Argentine was No. 69 in the world that year, the lowest-ranked player to ever win the Masters. The hole got in the way twice for Charl Schwartzel in 2011, once on a chip across the first green that fell for birdie, another a shot from the third fairway that dropped for eagle. He finished with four straight birdies to win. It has been 11 years since the No. 1 player in the world — Woods — won the Masters.

There is always the usual assortment of players who seem to contend every year for a green jacket. Phil Mickelson is a three-time Masters champion, his most recent in 2010 when he arrived at Augusta National without having come close to winning that year. Fred Couples was tied for the 36-hole lead last year at age 52. Rory McIlroy has shown he can play the course, at least on the weekdays. Lee Westwood has been among the top three twice since 2010. But for every Woods there is Zach Johnson. For every Mickelson there is Trevor Immelman.

Cardinals tee off on Reds ST. LOUIS (AP) — Jake Westbrook bounded out of the dugout for the ninth inning before manager Mike Matheny could change his mind. The right-hander quickly finished off a five-hitter for his first shutout in more than six years, backed by four home runs in the St. Louis Cardinals’ 10-0 rout over the Cincinnati Reds Wednesday. “He was making a statement,” Matheny said. “He wanted to make sure he gave the appearance he was ready to go. What a great day for him.” Westbrook (1-1) hasn’t allowed an earned run in 15 2-3 innings this season, although he took the loss on an unearned run in a 1-0 setback to Barry Zito in San Francisco in his season debut. He relied heavily on a sinker against the Reds with 16 groundball outs. “It always means a lot when you can finish what you started,” Westbrook said. “The ball was in the zone and really moving a lot. I guess I know when I’m good is when I get a lot of ground balls.”

CARDINALS PITCHER Jake Westbrook throws against the Cincinnati Reds in the ninth inning Wednesday. The lineup made a statement, too. Jon Jay, Carlos Beltran and Matt Adams homered in a span of seven atbats off Homer Bailey as the Cardinals took two of three from the NL Central champions after Cincinnati stunned them with a nine-run ninth in the home opener.

“It’s a great point about resiliency,” Matheny said. “They certainly showed a different brand the last two days.” Matt Carpenter added a two-run homer on a four-hit day. Adams homered for the second straight game and added an RBI double and walk. The Cardinals have domi-

nated the Reds at home the last decade, losing just three of 28 series with two splits. They outscored them 15-1 the last two games of the series and the Reds were shut out for the first time in the finale. “I was hoping this would be different this time especially after that first night,” Reds manager Dusty Baker said. “The thing about it is their pitching really shut us down.” Westbrook (1-1) pitched his first shutout since Aug. 9, 2006, against the Angels when he was with Cleveland, and this was his 15th career complete game. He held the Reds hitless in six at-bats with runners in scoring position, and contributed his 11th career RBI with a single in the seventh for St. Louis’ final run. “It was a perfect storm,” said Joey Votto, one of the few Reds with much success, going 2 for 3 with a walk. “He didn’t surprise us because he definitely has that capability.” Bailey (1-1) had gone 23 straight shutout inningsbefore the Cardinals broke open a scoreless game with four runs with two outs in the fifth.

Four Turns LAPS ... AT THE FRONT 1 LOGGING One way to figure which teams have something figured out with NASCAR’s new Gen-6 is to see who’s leading the most laps. A quick scan finds that Hendrick Motorsports and Joe Gibbs Racing are clearly ahead of the curve. Jimmie Johnson (430 laps led on the season), Matt Kenseth (319), Kyle Busch (264), Kasey Kahne (223) and Denny Hamlin (156) lead the series and all reside in the HMS and JGR camps.

Martinsville Mastery

Jimmie Johnson scores eighth career Martinsville win in STP Gas Booster 500 By MATT TALIAFERRO Athlon Sports Racing Editor

Jimmie Johnson capped off a dominant weekend at Martinsville Speedway in a familiar way: by celebrating in Victory Lane. The Hendrick Motorsports driver won his eighth career NASCAR Sprint Cup race at the half-mile Virginia short track on Sunday in the STP Gas Booster 500. Johnson’s weekend started in fine form on Friday, when he won the pole for the event. His No. 48 was near the top of each practice session’s speed chart, and when the green flag flew for 500 miles of racing, there was little doubt as to who the field would be chasing. Johnson led 346 laps — the highest single-race total of his career — and drove away from Clint Bowyer and teammate Jeff Gordon after a restart with eight laps to go to seal the victory in convincing fashion. “We had a great weekend and I know the stats clearly show that, but (it was) the most calm, relaxed, thought-out weekend that we’ve had as the 48 (team) — and the most mature,” Johnson said. “We really fell back on our experience and stayed committed to that.” Bowyer, Gordon, Kasey Kahne and Kyle Busch rounded out the top 5. “Jimmie has just really figured this place out,” Gordon said. “You get a driver like Jimmie and a team like the 48 — or ours, or the 15 (Bowyer) — you put them on the pole (and) in that No. 1 pit stall … it’s going to be really, really hard to

beat them.” Johnson’s mastery of Martinsville is reaching historic levels. His eight wins on the paperclipshaped oval leads all active drivers and ranks behind only Richard Petty’s 15 and Darrell Waltrip’s 11 all-time. He’s won seven of the last 14 races at the only track that has hosted NASCAR premier series races since the sport’s inception. The pole and win were his second straight at Martinsville, as Johnson led 193 laps in November en route to the victory. Johnson also reclaimed the lead in the Sprint Cup Series point standings, holding a six-point advantage over Brad Keselowski. After two weeks of hype, neither Joey Logano nor Tony Stewart engaged in any sort of on-track retaliation following their post-race skirmish in Fontana, Calif., when the latter took exception to a block Logano threw with 11 laps remaining. Stewart downplayed the incident on Friday, saying, “That was two weeks ago. I’m in Martinsville this weekend. We’re trying to figure out what we’ve got to do to make our race cars go fast this week.” However, he was never wavered from his inital complaint: That blocking in NASCAR, in his opinion, has gotten out of control. “I don’t like blocking. I never have, I never will,” Stewart said. “It’s our jobs as drivers to go out there and try to pass people. That is what racing is about. We didn’t have blocking 10 years ago. I don’t know where all of a sudden it became a common deal or some peo-

Jimmie Johnson has further reason to

celebrate following a Sunday win at Martinsville. On Tuesday, April 9, the five-time champion announced via Twitter that he and wife Chandra are expecting their second child, due in September. “We are so happy to share the news that we’re having another baby in September. Genevieve is so excited to be a big sister!” the tweet read. Genevieve is the couple’s two-year-old daughter.

Ryan Truex’s NASCAR Sprint Cup Series

debut has been delayed. Ryan, the younger brother to Cup Series regular Martin Truex Jr., took to Twitter on Monday, April 8, to reveal that he had broken his collarbone in two places on Easter and will rehab in hopes of qualifying for the Cup race at Dover International Speedway on June 2. Truex was slated to drive Phoenix Racing’s No. 51 Chevrolet at Richmond on April 27. Team owner James Finch says that AJ Allmendinger will man the ride instead.

42 Years of Professional Service

Truex has made 35 starts in the Nationwide Series since 2010, winning the pole and finishing second in last season’s Dover event driving a Joe Gibbs Racingprepared Toyota. He had also participated in three Camping World Truck Series races with a best finish of ninth coming at Phoenix International Raceway in 2012. Joe Gibbs Racing Nationwide Series driver Elliott Sadler will make a return to the Cup Series in a fourth JGR Toyota this season.

Sadler will attempt to qualify for the April 21 race at Kansas Speedway and the two Talladega dates, on May 5 and Oct. 20, in the No. 81 Alert Energy Toyota. Alert Energy is a caffeine gum that is produced by long-time JGR sponsors Wrigley and its parent company, Mars, Inc. “I’m really looking forward to representing Alert Energy in the Sprint Cup Series,”

ple think it’s alright to do now and think it’s common practice. I don’t believe in it. I don’t believe it should be common practice.” Logano, as well, stayed true to his defense: “It’s an opinion of how people race and it depends on what point of the race you’re doing that stuff (blocking). I think that’s the part that you need to look into as a driver when you make the decision on what you do inside the car and what point in the race that is.” Denny Hamlin, who was injured in his last-lap battle with Logano in the same race, was in attendance at Martinsville atop the pit box of his No. 11 team. Mark Martin, who filled in for Hamlin, finished 10th. Sprint Cup rookie Danica Patrick impressed in her first visit to the physical short track, placing 12th after a hard-fought duel with Brian Vickers and Kevin Harvick on the final lap. Patrick was forced to start at the rear of the field when her No. 10 team changed an engine on Saturday. “I didn’t know what to expect (at Martinsville), but I feel like finding the limit on a short track where you’re going a little slower … there’s less risk as opposed to finding the limit on a really big track where you’re doing 200 mph,” said Patrick said. Johnson is the first driver to collect multiple wins in 2013, having scored his second Daytona 500 crown in February. The circuit heads to Texas Motor Speedway for a Saturday night affair this weekend.

Sadler said. “I’ve been lucky to have a long history with Mars, Inc. and am very excited about working with them again in launching this new product.” Sadler drove a Mars/M&M’s Ford from 2003-06 for Robert Yates Racing, notching two wins (Texas, Auto Club) in ’04. Sadler currently campaigns a JGR Toyota in the Nationwide Series and is eighth in the point standings. He is coming off consecutive runner-up finishes in the series’ championship battle while piloting a Richard Childress Racing Chevy. Jimmie Johnson’s Martinsville victory

was notable in that it was his eighth at the short track, placing him in sole possession of third-place all-time. It was also special for Hendrick Motorsports, which became the alltime winningest organization at the facility. The win was HMS’s 20th at Martinsville, eclipsing Petty Enterprises’ 19. Rick Hendrick scored his first ever win as a Cup Series owner at Martinsville when Geoff Bodine drove his No. 5 Chevy to victory on April 8, 1984.

Crew Chief’s Take: “Although it’s another cookie cutter track, Texas has a distinct corner that is off camber as you come off of Turn 2. The wall sneaks up on you very quickly. The track itself is extremely fast, and night racing there is a lot of fun. It has some good racing, but it seems like Texas is one of those tracks that is the most sensitive of all the tracks we go to. Whether it is the way the stands are built or the way the wind comes across, it is just a really aero-sensitive track. It has grooves from the top to the bottom that produce some great racing.” NATIONWIDE SERIES

Classic Moments Texas Motor Speedway Denny Hamlin was in the championship fight of his life with Jimmie Johnson when the Cup Series roared into Texas Motor Speedway for the AAA Texas 500 in November 2010. While Johnson ultimately prevailed in the war, Hamlin won a decisive battle on an unforgettable Sunday afternoon in the Lone Star State. On a day when Johnson’s team struggled so badly on pit road that crew chief Chad Knaus took the extreme measure of replacing the entire crew mid-race with Jeff Gordon’s, Hamlin stormed to an impressive victory and took over the points lead from Johnson with just two races remaining. While the points lead didn’t last, Hamlin’s Texas triumph, paired with the 48 team’s woes, was enough to prompt Hamlin’s crew chief, Mike Ford, to brag afterwards that the No. 11 team was better than the No. 48 bunch. It was a mistake by Ford that would ultimately lead to his ouster nearly one year later.

Buckeyes’ defense relies on experienced secondary

AP Photo/Jay LaPrete, File

OHIO STATE defensive back C.J. Barnett celebrates the team's 29-22 overtime win over Purdue in an NCAA college football game in Columbus, Ohio. Although coach Urban Meyer worries a lot about his defense, the secondary shouldn't be one of those concerns. The Buckeyes appear to have a solid group of defensive backs returning from last year's 12-0 season, Barnett among them. Eli Apple and Cam Burrows. “I really like ‘em. I think they’re playing at a reasonably high level for spring football,” cornerbacks coach Kerry Coombs said of his charges in his typical, raspy, half-yell. “The young guys are getting a lot of reps. We’ve got good leadership from Bradley Roby. And we’re competing every day. I really like the work ethic. They’re very diligent and very serious about their business. And they’re going to be very, very good as time develops.” Building a defense isn’t unlike an assembly line. It starts with recruiting cornerbacks and everything else takes shape from there. “You go out and find big corners who can run, athletic guys,” said codefensive coordinator and safeties coach Everett Withers. “I mean 6-foot, 6-1, athletic, longarmed corners who can grow into safeties, who are physical and have a toughness about them.”

After winnowing through the fastest guys and putting them out on an island at cornerback — where the slightest mistake in one-on-one coverage results in a huge gain or six points — the chain continues. “You always want to find guys in positions who can have another place to fall,” Withers said. “A corner that can move to safety. A safety that can move to linebacker. A linebacker who can move to defensive end, a defensive end who can move to defensive tackle. If you find those guys in recruiting, then usually they have a place to play.” The Buckeyes have defensive backs who can play, that’s for sure. But that doesn’t mean things are set in stone. Coach Urban Meyer likes Brown, a Pittsburgh native (unlike the other Corey Brown on the squad, who’s from Philadelphia and plays offense) who has never really developed into a top player. Now he’s a fifth-year senior and is

down to his last chance. “I’m hoping he’s our Reid Fragel,” Meyer said, referring to a backup tight end who was switched to offensive tackle last spring and blossomed into an All-Big Ten performer. “I’m hoping (Brown) steps up. He has to; he hasn’t done a whole lot around here. He’s a nice kid with some talent. He didn’t look very good (last year). Now he’s got some confidence. We like the way he’s practicing right now. You know, it’s time.” Brown really wants to make something of the opportunity. “I want to do everything I can possibly do — turn my lifestyle around, my body around,” he said. “Everything.” There are times when Roby, who most likely would have been taken in the top few rounds of the draft, thinks about where he might have been instead of sweating it out for the fourth spring at Ohio State. He could have signed a big contract, but he’s fine with delaying that a while. “Everybody struggles in college but at the end of the day I have a vision for the future and I see what’s coming to me in the future,” he said. “So I’ll be broke for a little bit longer, it’s OK.” Roby and his two fellow holdovers in the backfield are happy to offer guidance to their younger and less experienced teammates. “Like coach Meyer said to us one day, he said, ‘Leadership will take us to the top,’” Bryant said. “That’s the type of role I’m trying to play this season to enhance our team. We all are.”

IN BRIEF

Tulsa cleared by NCAA TULSA, Okla. (AP) — The University of Tulsa says it faces no punishment from the NCAA for sports betting violations allegedly committed by the school's now-fired athletic director. The school's athletic department announced Wednesday it only received a secondary violation from the NCAA in the case involving Ross Parmley. Tulsa also said the NCAA determined that the school's swift firing of Parmley and enhancement of internal education policies regarding sports wagering was enough. Parmley was fired in December after being named in a federal investigation of Teddy Mitchell, who's accused of running a gambling operation in Oklahoma City.

Columbus signs Sedlak COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — The Columbus Blue Jackets have signed forward Lukas Sedlak to a standard three-year, entry-level contract. The 20-year-old has spent the past two seasons with the Chicoutimi Sagueneens of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League, scoring 32 goals with 47 assists and 121 penalty minutes in 98 regularseason games. He added six goals and seven assists in 24 QMJHL playoff games. In 2012-13, he had 15 goals and 19 assists and 64 penalty minutes in 48 games. A native of Ceske Budejovice, Czech Republic, Sedlak represented his country at the 2012 and 2013 IIHF World Junior Championships.

Gunner Kiel to UC? COLUMBUS, Ind. (AP) — Former Notre Dame quarterback Gunner Kiel has found another landing spot — Cincinnati. The Indiana high school star told his hometown newspaper, The Columbus Republic, he told Bearcats coaches Wednesday he would be enrolling at the school. Kiel originally committed to Indiana, then backed out and opted for LSU. When he backed out of that commitment, Kiel wound up enrolling at Notre Dame where he thought he would compete for the starting job. But Everett Golson won the job and led the Fighting Irish to the national championship game. So Kiel opted to transfer. He chose Cincinnati over Kansas State, Mississippi and Ball State though he will sit out this season because of the NCAA's transfer rules.

Bengals release Allen CINCINNATI (AP) — The Bengals have released cornerback Jason Allen, who was injured and played in only four games during his one season with Cincinnati. Allen signed with the Bengals as a free agent after playing six years with Miami and Houston. He missed the preseason and the first two games of the season because of an injured thigh. He played in a 38-31 win over Washington, getting a pair of tackles, then was inactive for the next nine games due in part to the thigh injury. He also missed the final game of the regular season and a first-round playoff loss to Houston.

Record turnout expected CANTON, Ohio (AP) — The Pro Football Hall of Fame expects a record turnout of members for its inductions celebrating its 50th anniversary. As many as 130 Hall of Famers are expected to attend from Aug. 2-4 as Larry Allen, Cris Carter, Curley Culp, Jonathan Ogden, Bill Parcells, Dave Robinson and Warren Sapp are enshrined.Already, 90 hall members have confirmed they will be on hand, including Dick Butkus, Earl Campbell, Joe Greene, Jerry Rice, Don Shula, Bruce Smith and Emmitt Smith. That is far more than usual turnout: “Typically there are 75-80 returning Hall of Famers attending the various enshrinement festival events,” Hall of Fame President/Executive Director Steve Perry says. “We feel confident that we will have a record turnout by our Hall of Famers.” Special events involving the returning Hall of Famers are being planned, including a “Red Carpet” arrival by the Hall of Famers.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Safety Christian Bryant doesn’t mince words. He’s straight to the point, just like when he makes a tackle — head first, shoulders square, legs churning, leaving a calling card for a wincing ball carrier. “I’m chasing a national championship,” he said. “That’s what I’m chasing.” If Ohio State is to pursue such a lofty goal — and the Buckeyes are coming off a glittering 12-0 season — then Bryant and a veteran secondary will likely be the ringleaders, so to speak. Ohio State may have big question marks on defense, but none of them comes at the back end. Bryant, cornerback Bradley Roby and safety C.J. Barnett make up three of the four seniors on that side of the ball. No wonder the backfield figures to be a load-bearing wall for the rest of the unit. “That’s going to be our backbone this year —me, Christian, C.J., Corey Brown,” said Roby, who flirted with jumping into the NFL draft in January. “We’ve been here for a long time. We know how things are going to go, how things should go. We just have to lead these young guys.” Barnett and Bryant are back to fill the safety spots. Doran Grant will get a long look at the other starting cornerback spot. Filling in behind them are Brown and several youngsters, including two kids who are participating in spring workouts while other classmates are going to prom and planning graduation parties — corners

Classified Sales Receptionist

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

Due to growth in our business, the Classifieds That Work classifieds department of the Sidney Daily News, Troy Daily News, Piqua Daily Call and Weekly Record Herald is seeking a Classified Sales Receptionist. We are seeking an energetic team player who can work independently to provide support for our classified call center. This full time position is based in our Sidney, Ohio, office.

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.
