Rocket launched North Korea defies all warnings BY JEAN H. LEE Associated Press PYONGYANG, North Korea (AP) — Defying international concerns, North Korea fired a long-range rocket early Friday that splintered into pieces over the Yellow Sea about a minute after takeoff in an apparent failure, South Korean and U.S. officials said. The liftoff took place at 7:39 a.m. (2239 GMT Thursday) from the west coast launch pad in the hamlet of Tongchang-ri, South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff in Seoul said, citing
South Korean and U.S. intelligence. The U.S., South Korea and many other countries had warned against the launch, calling it a provocation and a cover to test missile technology. North Korea had insisted it would not back down, and said the rocket would only carry a civilian satellite, touting it as a major technological achievement to mark the 100th anniversary of the birth of the country’s founder, Kim Il Sung, on Sunday. Still, if the rocket failed, it would be a major embarrass-
ment for Pyongyang, which has invited dozens of international journalists to observe the rocket launch and other celebrations. It has staked its pride on the satellite, seeing it as a show of strength amid persistent economic hardship while Kim Il Sung’s grandson, the 29-yearold Kim Jong Un, solidifies power following the death of his father, longtime leader Kim Jong Il, four months ago. “It blows a big hole in the birthday party,” said Victor Cha, former director for Asia policy in the U.S. National Se-

curity Council, contacted in Washington. “It’s terribly embarrassing for the North.” He said the next step would be to watch whether North Korea conducts a nuclear test, as has been speculated by the South Korean intelligence community. North Korea is reportedly making preparations for such a test soon. “We have to watch very carefully what they are doing now at the nuclear test site and how they explain this with all those foreign journalists in the country,” Cha said.

Edison officials comment on charges PIQUA — Edison Community College Office of Marketing and Community Relations issued a formal statement late Thursday regarding this week’s indictment of a former employee. Former coorKramer dinator of public relations Jack Kramer, 63, of Yellow Springs, was indicted by a Miami County grand jury and arraigned on a secret indictment in Miami County Common Pleas Court on Tuesday afternoon on two fourthdegree felonies of having an unlawful interest in a public contract. The college released the following statement Thursday:
“On Wednesday, April 11, 2012, the office of marketing and community relations was informed of two indictments that were handed down by a grand jury relating to Mr. Kramer’s employment while at Edison Community College from January 2008 until March 2009. Both counts relate to Mr. Kramer’s authorization of the use of public funds to obtain a media contract with an agency that he was associated with. Mr. Kramer retired from Edison Community College in the summer of 2010. Officials from Edison Community College have been in contact with and are continuing to cooperate with the investigation by the Miami County Prosecutor’s Office and the Ohio Ethics Commission. Additional information re-
garding Mr. Kramer’s past employment record at Edison Community College will be managed in accordance with relevant human resources policies and the college will adhere to its policy of not discussing personnel issues.” Kramer, also a locally known radio play-by-play announcer for area sports and who runs an online sports broadcasting website, was released on a recognizance bond following his brief court arraignment. When contacted by telephone, Kramer withheld commenting on the allegations and said he only learned of them “a few days ago.” If convicted, Kramer faces between one to three years in prison, but could also receive a community control sanctions sentence.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House — and President Barack Obama himself — rushed into a damage control campaign Thursday to blunt the impact of a Democratic consultant’s suggestion that Ann Romney isn’t qualified to discuss the economy because she “hasn’t worked a day in her life.” “It was the wrong thing to say,” Obama declared in an interview with WCMH-TV in Columbus, Ohio, standing up for Republican rival Mitt Romney’s wife with Democrats suddenly on the defensive over women’s issues for the first time this election year. Of the “ill-advised statement” by consultant Hilary Rosen, he added, “It’s not something that I subscribe to.” In an interview with Cedar Rapids, Iowa, TV station KCRG, the president said “there’s no tougher job than being a mom” and cited the efforts of his wife, Michelle, and his own mother, a single woman with two children. “That’s work,” he said. “So, anybody who would argue otherwise probably needs to rethink their statement.” The president’s remarks were his answer to Rosen’s comments and the Twitter war they ignited. The mere fact that he weighed in on the See OBAMA/Page 5

Tortoise dies at zoo CLEVELAND (AP) — A male tortoise believed to be at least 100 years old has died at the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo. The zoo on Wednesday said the Aldabra tortoise named Tim weighed about 400 pounds and his shell measured 43 inches in length. Zoo Curator Geoff
Hall tells the Plain Dealer the animal was found unresponsive in cold-weather quarters he shared with two other tortoises — Tom and Terry. They were brought to the zoo in 1955 from eastern Africa. The zoo plans an animal autopsy to determine what caused the death.

Many worry water plans would hurt Lake Erie TOLEDO (AP) — Proposed Ohio rules on how much water farms and factories can draw from Lake Erie and the rivers flowing into it don’t offer enough protection for the lake’s tributaries, environmentalists and anglers told the media Thursday in a teleconference organized by the National Wildlife Federation. The plan now being debated in the Ohio Legislature also could end up hurting the lake, a source of drinking water for about 11 million people, they said. “You compromise one part of the system, and you compromise the whole system,” said Rick Graham, an outdoors enthusiast from northern Ohio. Environmentalists are pushing back again amid the attempt by the state to set rules governing the use of Lake Erie water. Last year, they opposed a proposal that ultimately was vetoed by Gov. John
Kasich, who said it lacked clear standards for withdrawals and didn’t include enough oversight. Eight states and two Canadian provinces along the Great Lakes have until the end of 2013 to establish regulations for large-scale water withdrawals. The Great Lakes Compact, signed into law in 2008 by President George W. Bush, says all waters within the Great Lakes basin should be protected as part of the public trust. The states bordering the lakes sought the protection to prevent Southern states where water is in short supply from taking it. What has environmentalists and Ohio’s charter fishing industry most upset is how Ohio’s proposed legislation is worded when it comes to protecting rivers from huge water withdrawals and the definition of what would be considered an “adverse impact” to the
lake and rivers. They say the proposal does not look at whether a large withdrawal of water from a river would have a harmful effect on that river. Instead, the Ohio proposal would only consider whether the use of the water would hurt Lake Erie as a whole. That means it could be too late to save a tributary from damage if too much water is drawn, said Marc Smith, a Great Lakes policy manager with the National Wildlife Federation. Other states in the compact don’t do it that way, Smith said. “That’s just kind of common sense,” he added. Lake Erie’s tributaries are vital to the health of the lake and provide habitat and spawning areas for fish popular with anglers, including walleye, smallmouth bass and steelhead trout, said Paul Pacholski, a charter fishing boat captain.
300-foot buffer proposed for Ohio park drilling COLUMBUS (AP) — A state natural resource agency’s proposed rules for drilling in state parks would require natural gas and oil companies to stay at least 300 feet — the length of a football field — from campgrounds, certain waterways and sites deemed historically or archaeologically valuable. Documents on proposed rules were released by the state Department of Natural Resources this week after the Ohio chapter of the Sierra Club filed a lawsuit claiming the agency
ignored repeated requests by the group to review them. The proposals for drilling leases also includes an 89-page report listing “best management practices” on topics like site restoration and guidelines for emergency and pollution incidents. Other proposals include state approval before companies could store drilling waste in pits and an agreement on the locations of all drilling equipment. Eastern Ohio is in the midst of a natural gas boom as developers seek
to capture rights to Utica Shale deposits. The state passed a law in September that opened its parks and other state-held lands for drilling, and officials have been developing leasing terms for drilling companies. Opponents say they’re concerned about the environmental impact of the drilling, which includes hydraulic fracturing, or “fracking.” The process involves drillers blasting millions of gallons of water, sand and chemicals deep underground to break up rock deposits.
Supporters of the law say there’s a potentially vast reservoir of oil and gas in the Utica Shale, which lies below the Marcellus Shale, where oil companies in Pennsylvania have drilled thousands of wells in search of natural gas and oil. But natural gas drilling has become a contentious issue in Pennsylvania, where public health advocates have criticized a new law that will limit accessible medical information on illnesses that may be related to gas drilling. It takes effect April 14.

Teenager sentenced CIRCLEVILLE (AP) — An Ohio teenager was sentenced Wednesday to four years in prison for a fatal traffic crash that occurred after he concealed a stop sign with petroleum jelly and plastic wrap. Seth Stonerock, 19, of Stoutsville, was sentenced in Pickaway County Common Pleas Court after tearfully apologizing to the families of the two women who died. He had pleaded guilty in February to two reckless homicide counts. Mary Spangler, 85, died in the Aug. 17 crash when her 81-year-old sister, Jeanne Shea, drove past the concealed sign and collided with another vehicle. Shea died Sept. 6. Stonerock has been contrite and remorseful and feels the penalty is justified, defense attorney Bill Meeks said Wednesday. Meeks said he planned to ask the judge to consider early release in several months.
Democratic chairman beats back challenge COLUMBUS (AP) — The chairman of the Ohio Democratic Party on Wednesday handily beat back a challenge to unseat him in a party squabble with implications for this fall’s presidential election in a critical swing state. A majority of a 66-member central committee voted for current chairman Chris Redfern over challenger Tony Giardini, the party chair in Lorain County, in a contest that was also tinted with shades of the 2014 race for Ohio governor. Besides controlling the estimated $60 million likely to flow through the party this year, Redfern will now lead Democrats’ effort to win back the governorship from Republican John Kasich in two years. In a statement, Redfern said he was “honored” that committee members “put their faith in my continuing ability to effectively fight for our Democratic values.” He said the state’s Democrats can now rally around the “unifying goal” of re-electing President Barack Obama and Ohio’s top Democratic officials.
Groups: no election changes until 2013 COLUMBUS (AP) — Voter advocates urged state lawmakers on Thursday not to change the swing state’s election law before November, even as a state senator said he wants to tweak the law to help disabled and early voters cast their ballots. “It’s enough already,” said Carrie Davis, executive director of the League of Women Voters of Ohio. “This constant round of election changes in the midst of a presidential election cycle causes too much confusion. They need to stop.”

Launch still ‘provocative’ WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. officials say a rocket launched by North Korea failed moments after being fired, but the White House still described the launch as a “provocative action” that threatens regional security and violates international law. In a statement, White House spokesman Jay Carney said any missile activity by North Korea is of concern to the international community. The White House has said a launch would jeopardize planned food aid. The statement came after the North American Aerospace Defense Command and U.S. Northern Command said that the first rocket stage fell to the Yellow Sea and that the remaining stages failed. Pyongyang claims it was a peaceful mission to place a satellite in space. The U.S. and much of the rest of the world consider it a test of a long-range missile.
Mortgage rate drops WASHINGTON (AP) — The average rate on the 30year fixed mortgage dropped near its all-time low this week, making home-buying and refinancing a bargain for those who can qualify. Mortgage buyer Freddie Mac said Thursday that the rate on the 30-year loan fell to 3.88 percent from 3.98 percent. That’s just above the rate of 3.87 percent reached in February, the lowest since long-term mortgages began in the 1950s. The 15-year mortgage, a popular option for refinancing, plunged to a fresh low of 3.11 percent from 3.21 percent last week. The previous record of 3.13 percent was hit last month.
Pakistan OKs proposal ISLAMABAD (AP) — Pakistan’s parliament on Thursday unanimously approved new guidelines for the country in its troubled relationship with the United States, a decision that could pave the way for the reopening of supply lines to NATO troops in neighboring Afghanistan. The guidelines allow for the blockade on U.S. and NATO supplies to be lifted, but also call for an immediate end to American drone strikes against militants on Pakistani soil. However, the lawmakers did not make a halt in the CIA-led missile attacks a prerequisite to reopening the supply lines, as some lawmakers had been demanding.

Chief can’t carry gun RICHLANDS, N.C. (AP) — The police chief of a North Carolina town has been prohibited from carrying a badge and gun because he couldn't shoot straight. Police Chief Thomas Bennett was suspended as a law enforcement officer after failing his recent annual firearms qualification exam. The Daily News of Jacksonville reports that Bennett has been police chief in Richlands, near the Atlantic coast, since 1999 and plans to retire in July. Bennett’s suspended certification also means he cannot turn on the blue lights on a police cruiser or make a traffic stop.

Prosecutors: Zimmerman ignored warning to back off BY TAMARA LUSH Associated Press SANFORD, Fla. (AP) — After weeks in hiding, George Zimmerman made his first courtroom appearance Thursday in the shooting of 17-yearold Trayvon Martin, and prosecutors outlined their murder case in court papers, saying the neighborhood watch volunteer followed and confronted the black teenager after a police dispatcher told him to back off. The brief outline, contained in an affidavit filed in support of the second-degree murder charges, appeared to contradict Zimmerman’s claim that Martin attacked him after he had turned away and was returning to his vehicle. In the affidavit, prosecutors also said that Martin’s mother identified cries for help heard in the background of a 911 call as her son’s. There had been some question as to whether Martin or Zimmerman was the one crying out. The account of the shooting was released as Zimmerman, 28, appeared at a four-minute hearing in a jailhouse courtroom, setting in motion what could be a long, drawn-out process, or an abrupt and dis-

From left, a 2005 booking photo provided by the Orange County Jail, an undated but recent photo taken from the Orlando Sentinel’s website, a Wednesday booking mug provided by the Sanford Police, and Zimmerman during is Thursday’s court appearance in Sanford, Fla. Much has already been made about outdated photos of Martin and Zimmerman that were the dominant images of early news coverage of the case. While more recent photos of a thinner Zimmerman had surfaced, the live television footage and photos taken at the hearing have given people around the country a more extensive look at him than they’ve had up to this point. appointingly short one for the Martin family because of the strong legal protections contained in Florida’s “stand your ground” law on self-defense. During the hearing, Zimmerman stood up straight, held his head high and wore a gray jail jumpsuit. He spoke only to answer “Yes, sir” twice after he was asked basic questions from the judge, who was not in the courtroom but on closed-circuit TV. The defen-
dant’s hair was shaved down to stubble and he had a thin goatee. His hands were shackled in front of him. He did not enter a plea; that will happen at his arraignment, which was set for May 29. To prove second-degree murder, prosecutors must show that Zimmerman committed an “imminently dangerous” act that showed a “depraved” lack of regard for
human life. The charge carries a mandatory sentence of 25 years in prison and a maximum of life. The special prosecutor in the case, Angela Corey, has refused to explain exactly how she arrived at the charge. But in the affidavit, prosecutors said Zimmerman spotted Martin while patrolling his gated community, got out of his vehicle and followed the young man.
Wrong turn grants glimpse behind curtain PYONGYANG, North Korea (AP) — The press bus took a wrong turn Thursday. And suddenly, everything changed in the official showcase of North Korean achievement. A cloud of brown dust swirled down deeply potholed streets, past concrete apartment buildings crumbling at the edges. Old people trudged along the sidewalk, some with handmade backpacks crafted from canvas bags. Two men in wheelchairs waited at a bus stop. There were stores with no lights, and side roads so battered they were more dirt than pavement. “Perhaps this is an incorrect road?” mumbled one of the North Korean minders, welldressed government officials who restrict reporters to meticulously staged presentations that inevitably center on praise for the three generations of Kim family who have ruled this country since 1948. So as cameras madly clicked, the drivers quickly backed up the three buses in the narrow streets and headed toward the intended destination: a spotlessly clean, brightly-lit, extensively marbled and nearly empty building that preserves digital

NORTH KOREAN residents of the capital city mingle on the side of the street in Pyongyang, North Korea on Thursday. The press bus took a wrong turn Thursday. And suddenly, everything changed in the official showcase of North Korean achievement. The drivers quickly backed up the three buses in the narrow deeply potholed streets and headed toward the intended destination: a spotlessly clean, brightly-lit, extensively marbled and nearly empty building that preserves digital music recordings and makes DVDs. music recordings and makes DVDs. The foreign journalists, invited into North Korea as it commemorates the centennial of founder Kim Il Sung’s birth, arrived at the Hana Music Information Center, where a guide told them second-generation leader Kim Jong Il made one of his last public appear-
ances there before his December death. “I hope that the journalists present here report only the absolute truth,” said Ri Jinju, her voice trembling, her hair frozen with hairspray. “The truth about how much our people miss our comrade Kim Jong Il, and how strong the unity is between the people

In Pyongyang, there was no word about a launch. North Korean officials said they would make an announcement about the launch “soon.” At Kim Il Sung Square, the city’s main plaza, residents were sitting around waiting for a rehearsal for upcoming celebrations. It had earlier said that the rocket would be fired any day between April 12 and April 16. The daily window was supposed to be 7 a.m. to noon. South Korean Foreign Minister Kim
Sung-hwan said the rocket launch was confirmed a “failure.” He provided no details. But earlier, South Korean Defense Ministry spokesman Kim Min-seok told reporters the rocket splintered into pieces moments after takeoff. In Washington, a U.S. official also said the launch appeared to have failed. The official offered no further details and would not discuss the source of the U.S. information.
“We suspect the North Korean missile has fallen as it divided into pieces minutes after liftoff,” said the official. Tokyo, which was prepared to shoot down any rocket flying over its territory, also confirmed a launch from North Korea. “We have confirmed that a certain flying object has been launched and fell after flying for just over a minute,” Japanese Defense Minister Naoki Tanaka said. He said there was no impact on Japanese territory.
OBAMA uproar left no doubt that Democrats want to leave nothing to chance in their effort to keep female voters in the party fold. Women, who are the majority of voters in presidential election years, lean heavily Democratic, and polls show Obama holds a commanding lead among this group so far this year in battleground states. Mitt Romney, the former Massachusetts governor, must win about 40 percent of female voters to have a chance at beating Obama, and he’s targeting married women and mothers who tend to be more conservative. Among this group, Ann
and leadership, who are vigorously carrying out the leaders’ instructions to build a great, prosperous and powerful nation.” In North Korea, it’s hard to know what’s real. Certainly, you can’t go looking for it. Anyone who leaves the press tour, or who walks from the few hotels where foreigners are allowed, can be detained by the police and threatened with expulsion. But even in such a controlled environment, reality asserts itself. Is reality the cluster of tall buildings within view of the main foreigners’ hotel, where long strings of bright, colored lights are switched on when the sun sets, illuminating entire blocks like some gargantuan Christmas decoration? Or is it the vast stretches of Pyongyang, by far the most developed city in impoverished North Korea, that go deathly dark at night? Is the reality along Pyongyang’s drab-but-spotless main roads, the only streets that journalists normally see, with their revolutionary posters urging North Koreans to struggle toward a Stalinist paradise? Or is reality on the streets near the music center?
From Page 1 Romney is popular and has been the candidate’s chief surrogate on how the struggling economy has affected women and families. So while the candidate remained silent Thursday, his campaign pounced when Rosen said on CNN Wednesday that Ann Romney was no expert on the economy. “His wife has actually never worked a day in her life,” Rosen said. “She’s never really dealt with the kinds of economic issues that a majority of women in this country are facing.” Rosen apologized late Thursday, after first lady Michelle
Obama tweeted her own support for women and mothers. The backlash to Rosen’s comments was bipartisan, brutal and swift, crackling across Twitter, cable television and old-fashioned telephone lines. It appeared to have reignited the “Mommy Wars” debate, at least for now, over choices many women make as they juggle motherhood with the work most need to pay bills, college tuition and a semblance of financial security for their families. Ann Romney fought back on Twitter and television, tweeting: “I made a choice to stay
home and raise five boys. Believe me, it was hard work.” Later, on Fox News, she noted that her career choice was being a mother, and while she hasn’t faced financial hardship she has confronted the ordeals of cancer and multiple sclerosis. Finally, she noted that her husband has said her work is more important than his as family breadwinner. “He would say, ‘My job is temporary. … Your job is a forever job that’s going to bring forever happiness,’” Ann Romney said. “Mitt respects women that make those different choices.”

Tom Woodruff, of Jackson Center, is the featured artist in the gallery at the Amos Library during April. He has named his work “3D photo art” and it is based on the art of decoupage. He began to create 3D pictures more than 30 years ago and, in the last five years, picked it up again. Now, he has put his own spin on it and taken it to an-
other level with original photos, and often includes various textures that compliment the pictures. He said, “Now I tend to see everything in 3D: buildings, vehicles, everything. Most of my 3D photo art is from photos I have taken or historic ones.” The exhibit is open to the public during regular library hours, which
are: Monday 11 a.m.-8 p.m., Tuesday 11 a.m.-8 p.m., Wednesday. 9 a.m.6 p.m., Thursday 11 a.m.-8 p.m., Friday 9 a.m.-6 p.m. and Saturday 11 a.m.-4 p.m. The Amos Memorial Public Library is at 230 E.

Negatives of wind turbines need to be investigated To the editor: Since wind-turbine towers are being proposed for northwestern Auglaize County and northeastern Shelby County, I went to see a documentary movie being shown in Wapak, and it was an eyeopening experience. I thought any source of power that makes us independent of other countries and is nonpolluting was a win-win, but I was wrong. I learned that our federal government and our state government are subsidizing 60 percent of the cost to build and put up the towers, and that recipients of the profits are not the taxpayers in Ohio or the USA, but wealthy investors, who are located in far-off places. I learned that these people from far-off places don’t come to a community and announce what they have to offer to determine if the community wants it, but go quietly from landowner to landowner to try to get as many signatures as they can, while divulging as little as possible, so no one gets alarmed. If people wished that they could live in a big city, they will get their wish if wind-turbine towers come. They’ll have 50-story skyscrapers, with air wooshing across the tips of the blades at 150 miles per hour. They’ll not have a quiet night sky with stars, but instead the eerie view of swirling groups of blinking lights that keep planes from hitting the 50-story-high rotating blades. Sunlight streaming through the rotating blades makes so much light flicker that they may need to put heavy drapes or blankets over the windows in order to read, or use the computer, or just to keep their sanity. A big factor observed in the movie is the forever factor. The open skyline is gone forever. The light flicker is there forever. The movie pointed out the biggest negative of all. When people’s quality of life is destroyed, it pits neighbor against neighbor, friend against friend, community member against community member, until the friendliness of a community is destroyed. I suggest that everyone learn more about industrial-size wind-turbine towers. A starting point would be to drive up to Van Wert County after dark on an evening when the wind is blowing to see what your nights would be like. Go to http:windfallthemovie.com for a two-minute part of the documentary movie. Dave Hemmert 12649 Taylor Road Wapakoneta

Longtime teachers to retire BY TERRY PELLMAN

A SPECIAL portrait of the Risen Christ adorns the sanctuary at St. Remy Church in preparation for Divine Mercy Sunday.
Church readies for Divine Mercy Sunday BY TERRY PELLMAN RUSSIA — St. Remy Church is readying plans for Divine Mercy Sunday this weekend. The first Sunday following Easter commemorates the events during the 1930s when a Polish nun named Maria Faustina received many visions and messages from God. The nun recorded the messages in a journal, and on April 30, 2000, she was canonized by Pope John Paul II. God used Faustina to remind the world about the merciful love he has for all, told of in the Old Testament and revealed in the New Testament through Christ. Jesus requested of St. Maria Faustina that the church establish a feast day to celebrate his divine mercy. Jesus said to her in part, “….I desire that the Feast of Mercy be a refuge and a shelter for all souls, and especially for poor sinners. On that day, the very depths of my mercy are open.” Materials provided to the parishioners at St. Remy Catholic Church in Russia provide an extensive explanation of Divine Mercy Sunday. The church will be holding a special service that day at 3 p.m. The hour of the day is relevant, as it is the time of the day at which Jesus succumbed to death on the cross. Jesus also asked that the hour be observed each day. Prayers given up at this hour are believed to hold special promise for fulfillment. Jesus told
Faustina, “I rejoice that they ask for much, because it is my desire to give much, very much. No soul that has called upon my mercy has been disappointed or brought to shame.” Parishioners were asked to prepare by praying the Chaplet of Divine Mercy each day beginning on Good Friday. The Chaplet is a series of prayers and recitations in a specific order. In the church sanctuary, a special artist’s renof Jesus’ dition appearance to St. Maria Faustina will be on display. The image bears the inscription, “Jesus, I trust in you”. This painting was done in accordance with directions given to Faustina by Jesus. The portrait of the Risen Christ is distinguished by two rays of light emanating from his pierced heart: “The pale ray stands for the water which makes souls righteous. The red ray is for the blood, which is the life of souls.” The message of trust is central in Jesus’ communications with Faustina. Jesus told her, “I desire to grant unimaginable graces to those souls who trust in my mercy. Let them approach this sea of mercy with great trust. Sinners will attain justification, and the just will be confirmed in good.” Worshipers planning to attend the Divine Mercy service at 3 p.m. this Sunday will be provided prayer cards to guide them through the Chaplet.
Scholarship awarded RUSSIA — The Shelby County 4-H Foundation Board has chosen Ethan Schafer, son of Mike and Ola Schafer, as the winner of the Mr. and Mrs. C.H. Ginn Agriculture Scholarship. Ethan is currently a senior at Russia High School and plans to attend the Ohio State University- ATI, in the fall, majoring in dairy science and agri-business. This scholarship award is $4,000. Twenty-five percent of the scholarship will be awarded each year up to four years, as long as the recipient remains in college pursuing an agriculture-related major and career. Vera Ginn established the Mr. and Mrs. C.H. Ginn Agriculture Scholarship in 1993, in recognition of the lifetime contributions that her parents made to the agricultural community of Shelby County. The Ginns were farmers, agricultural enthusiasts, and they operated a feed grain and agriculture supply business in Sidney. Schafer has been a four-year member of the academia team, representing Russia in the All Star Match this year. He was an American Legion Buckeye Boy’s State delegate. Schafer has also been a four-year member of high school band, track team and basketball team. He has also been on the science olympiad team and is a member of the National Honor Society. He also serves as a Mass Server at St. Remy Church.
HOUSTON — Two longtime teachers in Hardin-Houston the School system are retiring at the end of the current school year. They are Karen Gariety and Alberta Ely. Gariety knew early in life that she wanted to be a teacher. The daughter of Gene and LeRue Gooder would play school with other children in her Sidney neighborhood, relishing her turn at being the teacher. Now Gariety is planning to retire after the school year ends, after 35 years in the Hardin-Houston School District. All 35 years were spent teaching second grade. Gariety was the first member of her family to attend college. She is very grateful for the sacrifices her parents made to make that higher education possible. Gariety began her college education at Miami University, originally planning to be a business teacher. She tells of becoming homesick and informing her parents that she wanted to return to Sidney. The result was a letter from her father emphasizing the need to appreciate the opportunity she had been given and to not allow the emotions to steal that chance. Gariety listened to those words of wisdom. She stayed at the Oxford campus for two years and then transferred to Bowling Green State University to finish her bachelor’s degree. Gariety was hired at Hardin-Houston shortly after graduation in 1977. In the same year, she was married to Ed Gariety, her high school sweetheart. The Hardin Elementary principal at the time was Dave McKay. He advised the new teacher to get her master’s degree quickly and take some time to travel before she started a family. Gariety followed all of that advice, getting her advanced degree from Wright State University and traveling with

Both teachers will retire at the end of the school year after 35 years in the district. her mother to Europe. Gariety feels that teachers now know the standards of education quite well. She believes that the increased accountability is a positive but feels that state testing requires too much attention. Overall, she is optimistic about the future of education. Gariety is very impressed by the technolavailable to ogy teachers now. In addition, the research capability provided to students of all ages has helped. She is also enthused about the progress being made to assist students needing special attention. Gariety has found great pleasure in seeing students come to grasp something with which they had been experiencing difficulty, something that Gariety refers to as “a-ha moments.” She used to think that she would retire at 30 years, but she enjoyed the classroom too much to leave that soon. She notes that the years have gone by quickly, and Gariety emphasizes that she has met some amazing people and made many deep, lasting friendships. She says of her career, “It’s been a wonderful 35 years.” After retirement, Gariety plans to do more reading and traveling. She and husband Ed have a cabin at Indian Lake and enjoy riding their pontoon boat. They will also enjoy trips to places with warm, sandy beaches. The couple have two
adult children, Lindsay, also a teacher, and a son Nick. “Bertie” Ely is also leaving the district at the end of the school year. Like Gariety, Ely has been at the school for 35 years. Ely graduated from North High School in Columbus but developed close ties to Shelby County. Her parents were William and Stella Fuller, and her father was the pastor of Hardin and Lockington churches. She went on to attend Mount Union College, and later earned a master’s degree from the University of Dayton. Ely’s course in life was determined in her adolescence: “I’ve just always wanted to be a teacher. There was never anything else I wanted to do.” She began by working with younger kids at Bible school and Sunday school. She taught one year in Panama City Beach, Fla., when her husband was stationed there in the military. She was widowed while quite young and returned to teaching. Originally assigned to the third grade at Hardin, she has also taught second grade and spent one year as a seventh- and eighthgrade reading instructor. For several years, she has primarily served as a third-grade and Title I teacher, specializing in assisting pupils in advancing their reading skills. Ely has always preferred teaching at the
elementary level, as she finds it rewarding to see the early reading development. Her greatest satisfaction comes from seeing progress in students who have struggled with learning to read. She expresses her approval of the Reading Recovery program, an effort that allowed oneon-one attention to pupils with reading issues. Due to the expense, it is no longer used on the district, so Ely has attempted to apply some of the program’s strategies to her ongoing group teaching methods. She looks forward to seeing more applicable technology coming along for students who have reading issues. She expects that ereading devices will prove to be an asset for struggling students who nonetheless relate to digital devices and may find increased motivation through their use. Ely stresses that this could be a key factor with students who need a boost in confidence. In her final year of Ely has teaching, teamed up with teacher Melissa Bowers to work with some students using “smart” technology. They have found that those digital tools are helping the students focus on learning and staying on task. Ely says that she has a “bucket list” of things to do in retirement. She looks forward to spending more time with husband Ron and visiting with family. She has three sons, Gary, Michael and Matthew Phipps. Some of that family time involves some travel, as Michael resides in Wyoming. She is also an avid recreational vehicle enthusiast, and loves the hiking and other outdoor activities that go along with the pastime. In addition, she intends to learn to play the dulcimer and play the piano more frequently. However, Ely acknowledges that she will likely find herself in a school setting on occasion, even if as a volunteer. She simply loves educating children.

D.S.’s husband can relate his dreams to her the following morning. In a percentage of people with this disorder, Parkinson’s disease appears in 10 to 20 years. C l o n a z e p a m (Klonopin) is effective, nine times out of 10, in eliminating the dreams and the thrashing movements. Thanks to the writers for furnishing me with information on this peculiar malady. DEAR DR. DONOHUE: Does celiac disease (gluten sensitivity) ever disappear? Is celiac disease inherited? — Anon. ANSWER: Most people who have celiac disease must adhere to a
gluten-free diet for life. Gluten is a protein found in wheat, barley and rye. Gluten so affects these people’s small intestine, the place where nutrients are absorbed, that it no longer passes those nutrients into the blood. Weight loss, diarrhea and abdominal pain result. Genetics has a role in celiac disease. About 10 percent of celiac patients have a first-degree relative who also has the illness. A first-degree relative is a parent, a child or a brother or sister. Dr. Donohue regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but he will incorporate them in his column whenever possible.

Family looks for gentle way to ease away from grandpa DEAR ABBY: My ask Pop not to visit? husband and I have We believe he’s still in been married for 16 mourning over the loss years and have two of his wife of 60 years. teenagers. “Mom” died We don’t want to add two years ago, and my to his heartache. — husband is an only TORN IN TEXAS child. How can we tell DEAR TORN: You my widowed father-indo need to talk to your law that we need a father-in-law and set Dear weekend to ourselves? some boundaries. AcAbby ”Pop,” who’s 87, complish it by setting Abigail lives an hour away a predetermined visiand drives to see us Van Buren tation schedule that every weekend, staying until allows you time alone with Monday afternoon. We don’t your husband and nuclear doubt that he’s lonely, al- family without him being though he does play bridge present. A way to get that twice a week and has dinner message across would be to with friends occasionally. We say: “Pop, we love you, but we love him dearly and would need some time to ourselves, never want to hurt his feel- so let’s schedule your visits for ings, but we long for a week- twice a month. YOU pick the end for “just us.” How do we weekends.”
DEAR ABBY: The neighbor above my apartment has a snoring problem. My bedroom is directly below his. Around 10 every night he starts snoring to the point that it sounds like an elephant lives above me. I have to sleep with my TV on and sometimes the radio. Please tell me what to do. Should I confront this neighbor? Should I complain to management? Or should I just live with it? — FED UP IN NEW JERSEY DEAR FED UP: Write your neighbor a letter and explain to him there is a problem. He may not know that he snores. If he’s snoring steadily, but stops for 20 or 30 seconds before starting again, it could indicate that he has a serious medical condition that should
be discussed with his doctor. If the apartment above you has poor insulation, a carpet under his bed could muffle some of the sound. Playing a tape of “white noise” could block it out more restfully than your television or radio. Or, because adequate sleep is so important, you could ask a real estate attorney about the possibility of breaking your lease and leaving without penalty. DEAR ABBY: I am a 23year-old woman who will graduate from college soon. I am looking to undergo a postcollege makeover. I want to find some clothes that will work in the professional world, but also mix for more casual environments. Taking
a recent college grad’s budget for this into account, what signature pieces should a young female have in her wardrobe? And what tips do you have for building a great collection over time? — YOUNG, BROKE, BUT FABULOUS DEAR Y.B.F.: Start with two suits — one with a jacket and matching skirt, the other with jacket and slacks. Make both suits interchangeable and in a neutral color — black, navy or beige — whatever looks best on you. Add a couple of blouses and sweater sets, several pairs of shoes and a good handbag. Make sure to look for “classic” styles rather than trendy, and you will have the basis for a business wardrobe and the beginning of a great collection.

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.

Sidney woman struggles with mold-related illness BY RACHEL LLOYD rlloyd@sdnccg.com
friend of Frohna’s, said that he developed severe difficulty in breathing within hours of an emergency room visit. He says he has chronic fatigue syndrome, which he believes to be related to mold exposure. Letters from Frohna’s specialists indicate a belief that her condition is related to mold exposure. A letter from the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health states, “Given the small number of cases and the lack of methods to determine their causes, it is not possible at this time (1999) to link the cases to each other or to the … environment.”
Mold — it’s not just a threat to your bread; it could be a threat to your life. Vicki Frohna, of Sidney, was an active member of the community working as a licensed practical nurse and studying to be a registered nurse, when, one day in 1997, her life was changed. Frohna trudged her way through an ordinary 12-hour shift, and by the end, she found herself in such pain that she could barely walk to her car in the parking lot. For the next four days, she was scheduled to be off work, and she said she spent the entire time at home lying on her couch taking Advil and Flexeril in an attempt to ease the pain.
‘Collapsed’
Horrific pain The day she was scheduled to return to work, Oct. 7, 1997, she said she awoke in such horrific pain that her family called an ambulance, and she was taken to the emergency room. She was transferred from there to Kettering Medical Center where she underwent a battery of tests and was told her diagnosis was acute transverse myelitis (TM). According to the National Institutes of Health, transverse myelitis is a neurological disorder involving inflammation of the myelin, or protective fatty sheath, around the nerve cell fibers in the spinal cord, leading to the damage or destruction of this protective sheath. Symptoms include a “loss of spinal cord function over For photo reprints, visit www.sidneydailynews.com SDN Photo/Luke Gronneberg several hours to several VICKI FROHNA, of Sidney, sits in her house and shows a quilt weeks.” she received in recognition of her battle with breast cancer.
Frohna introduced a friend, Jeffrey Wilhelm, of Piqua, who had a hernia operation in 2006. Wilhelm said three weeks after his operation, “I was home walking and all of a sudden, I collapsed.” Wilhelm said he has not had use of his legs since the time of his initial collapse. Wilhelm and Frohna both provided results of lab tests, which indicate exposure to mold, although a source of that exposure cannot be confirmed. Frohna has undergone at least 14 surgeries for the conditions connected with her illness, from incontinence to breast cancer. She has gone through chemotherapy, a mastectomy and breast reconstruction — twice. She’s had blood clots, a collapsed lung, biopsies, rectal surgeries, and “I want to forget the rest,” she says.

Students help save vets’ history BY TOM BARNETT tbarnett@sdnccg.com Junior and senior students at Christian Academy Schools in Sidney are participating in the Veterans History Project conducted by the American Folk Life Center. The students are interviewing local veterans and plan to send recorded video logs of them to the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C., to carry on a legacy of biographies for generations to come. Kelly Edwards, social studies teacher at the academy, said she heard about the program from other teachers and, after visiting the program’s website, decided to present it to her students. The project collects, preserves and makes accessible the personal accounts of American war veterans so future generations may hear directly from veterans and better understand the realities of war. The project, created by the U.S. Congress in 2000, was signed into law by

Kelli Barhorst returns to Anna as head coach BY KEN BARHORST kbarhorst@sdnccg.com ANNA — Arguably the best volleyball player in Anna High School history, and certainly one the best-ever in Shelby County, returning is home to be the coach. Anna’s Board of Education ap- Barhorst proved the hiring of Kelli Barhorst as the new head volleyball coach for the Lady Rocket at a meeting Wednesday night. Barhorst had a sensational career at Anna, leading the Lady Rockets to a 30-0 record and a Division III state championship her junior year, and being named firstteam All-Ohio as a junior and a senior. Following high school, she went on to an outstanding four AP Photo/Evan Vucci years in volleyball at Ohio CINCINNATI REDS left fielder Ryan Ludwick hits a two-run State, playing in the “Sweet 16” single in front of Washington Nationals catcher Wilson Ramos, her junior and senior years. She started 25 games as a right, during the ninth inning of a baseball game on Thursday in Washington.
freshman at OSU, and 33 as a sophomore. As a junior, she was Big Ten Player of the Week twice. “I had a blast,” she said. “I can’t believe my four years at Ohio State are done. I wish I could go back and do it all over again.” She replaces Amy Cobb, who spent two years in the program and will be a tough act to follow. Her first team finished with a 21-6 record and last year’s team had a 1611 mark. She led both teams to the regional tournament, where both lost to the eventual state champion. “It’s a family thing,” said Cobb Wednesday. “I just want more time to myself so I can spend it with my family. I just can’t commit 100 percent to coaching right now. I did it for two years just to fill in, and I told them if they could get anybody else in there, I wouldn’t be offended. “The tournament runs the last two years were amazing, the support we got from the community, that whole sea of green in the stands,” she
added. “That tournament run my first year is what made me come back last season. That’s what I’ll remember most.” Barhorst will coach while doing post-graduate work at Urbana University. “I’m moving back home, living off mom and dad for a while,” she said. “They love it, and they hate it.” She said she wasn’t sure about what came next after Ohio State, but coaching was always on her mind. “I guess this wasn’t really expected,” she said. “But they gave me the opportunity and I took it. I definitely wanted to coach. It was tough when volleyball ended for me. I wondered what I would do, and coaching was the logical next step.” She plans to meet with the players after school today and get her program started. “I will let them know my history and the expectations I have,” she said. “I know there is great volleyball around here and you have to be on point every night with everything you do.”
Nats beat Reds on wild pitch WASHINGTON (AP) — Standing on third base with two outs in the bottom of the 10th inning, Ryan Zimmerman still was bummed about the two plays he failed to make in the field earlier Thursday for the Washington Nationals. Knowing that the Cincinnati Reds’ relievers are prone to throwing “dirtballs,” Zimmerman was aware that Alfredo Simon might very well miss his mark. Sure enough, Simon threw a wild pitch, and Zimmerman raced home, helping the Nationals extend their best start since moving to Washington with a 3-2 victory over the Reds. Scoring the winning run made Zimmerman able to get over the two balls that got past him while he played third, one in the eighth inning, and one in the ninth, the latter allowing Ryan Ludwick to deliver a tying two-run single for Cincinnati. “If we had lost that game,” Zimmerman said, “it would have been hard for me to sleep tonight.” Instead, the Nationals improved to 5-2, good for first place in the NL East, and treating an announced sellout crowd of 40,907 to a win in the home opener for the first time since 2008. Craig Stammen (1-0) struck out the side in the 10th for the win, needing all of 10 pitches for those three outs. “We don’t give in. We don’t give up,” said Jayson Werth, who singled in the 10th one out after Zimmerman reached base when Simon (0-1) hit him with a pitch. “It’s a long season. A lot can happen,” Werth said. “But I like the way we’ve started.” The Nationals never had been better than 3-4 through seven games since they
moved to Washington in 2005. They’re hoping to build on last season’s improvement, when they finished 8081 and in third place in the NL East. “We’re showing signs of great life here,” said Washington starter Gio Gonzalez, who struck out seven and didn’t walk a batter in seven shutout innings. He even added his first major league hit, for good measure, a blooper of a single to left off Mat Latos with one out in the fifth, then rolled his neck, smiled broadly and chuckled a bit while standing on the bag at first. “I’m glad to get the first one out of the way,” Gonzalez said. Thanks to Adam LaRoche’s two-run single with the bases loaded in the fifth, the Nationals took a 2-0 lead into the ninth, but Brad Lidge blew the save. Lidge is sharing closer duties for Washington with Henry Rodriguez because Drew Storen had surgery Wednesday and will be out for months. With one out, Lidge walked Joey Votto, then gave up Scott Rolen’s double and intentionally walked Jay Bruce to load the bases. The free pass didn’t work, even though Nationals manager Davey Johnson liked the odds when he saw Ludwick send a hopper toward Zimmerman, a 2009 NL Gold Glove recipient. “When that ball was hit down his way, I was happy as a clam,” Johnson said. “Tough hop.” It scooted past Zimmerman, allowing the Reds to make it 2-2. But Zimmerman got a chance to make amends. He was at third with Roger Bernadina at the plate, when Simon threw an 0-1 pitch in the dirt.

IN BRIEF
Angle pulls out of Trials BY ASSOCIATED PRESS Kurt Angle has survived steel chairs, low blows and dastardly double-crosses in the choreographed world of pro wrestling. But Angle couldn't continue on the amateur circuit when his own body betrayed him with a series of injuries that ended his improbable run at making the U.S. team for the London Olympics. On Thursday, the former Olympic gold medalist and TNA Wrestling star backed out of next week's U.S. Angle Olympic Team Trials in Iowa. The 43year-old Angle was planning on competing for a spot on the U.S. freestyle team headed to the London Games this summer. Angle partially tore the MCL in his right knee during training on Monday to finish off the longshot bid. He also tore his right hamstring during a training session last month.

FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — The Busch Brothers are adding a new dynamic to their relationship. When Kurt Busch gets in the car for Friday night’s NASCAR Nationwide race in Texas, where he ran in that series for the first time and won six years ago, it will be his debut driving for younger brother Kyle’s new stock car team. Kurt Busch describes it’s a unique situation with him having the “upper hand on age.” After the first of about 17 Nationwide races with his brother, they will be competitors again Saturday night in the Sprint Cup race. NASCAR resumes this weekend after the Easter weekend break. Sprint Cup points leader Greg Biffle has seven consecutive top-10 finishes at Texas and a win there in 2005.
