and other lethal shrapnel — but said they still didn’t know who did it and why. The FBI and other law enforcement agencies repeatedly pleaded for members of the public to come forward with photos, videos or anything suspicious they might have seen or heard.

“The range of suspects and motives remains wide open,” Richard DesLauriers, FBI agent in charge in Boston, said at a news conference. He vowed to “go to the ends of the Earth to identify the subject or subjects who are responsible for this despicable crime.” President Barack Obama

branded the attack an act of terrorism but said officials don’t know “whether it was planned and executed by a terrorist organization, foreign or domestic, or was the act of a malevolent individual.” Scores of victims of the Boston bombing remained in See BOMBS/Page 5A

Residents react to bombing BY RACHEL LLOYD rlloyd@civitasmedia.com Boston, Mass., is almost 13 hours away from Shelby County by car, about 850 miles. It’s about four hours by plane, if you’re traveling out of Dayton, because there aren’t any direct flights. Boston seems pretty far removed from our little corner of the world — right up until someone decides to attack one of the most iconic sporting events in the country that is held there.

FLOWERS SIT at a police barrier near the finish line of the Boston Marathon in Boston Tuesday. The bombs that ripped through the crowd at the Boston Marathon, killing at least three people and wounding more than 170, were fashioned out of pressure cookers and packed with shards of metal, nails and ball bearings to inflict maximum carnage, a person briefed on the investigation said Tuesday.

The Sidney Zoning Board of Appeals on Monday afternoon denied one request for a variance to build an accessory building and approved another. In accordance with a recommendation by city staff, ZBA members approved a motion denying a request by Nancy and Bernadette Berning to build an accessory building in the side yard at 2007 Wapakoneta Ave. The building, 14 feet by 20 feet, was to be used as a garden shed Barbara Dulworth, community services director, said while Bernings’ lot is very large and the building would not be detrimental to the neighborhood, “staff could not find any other instances of accessory buildings in the side yard in the area.” Because there are no other similar buildings in the side yard in the neighborhood, the request did not meet all four requirements. It was also noted that the accessory building could be constructed without a variance in the side yard if it is connected to the house with a breezeway.

Ohio runners recall Boston Marathon blasts BY ANDREW WELSH-HUGGINS The Associated Press COLUMBUS (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Several Ohioans who ran in the Boston Marathon on Monday heard the loud explosions near the finish line that authorities said killed at least three people and injured more than a hundred. Tina Husted, the wife of Ohioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s secretary of state, had finished the race and was sitting in a van about a block from the marathon finish line when she heard a â&#x20AC;&#x153;very, very loud explosion.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;All of a sudden we heard this huge boom, and the van shook,â&#x20AC;? Husted said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And I said to the lady next to me, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;That sounded like a bomb.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Husted said they sat there for a few minutes and saw â&#x20AC;&#x153;mass chaosâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; personnel emergency headed toward the finish

line, people running away from the area and some injured. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the second time Husted has completed the Boston race. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a near-elite runner who started with the other top female runners. She said sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have to think about whether sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d run the race again. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just terrible,â&#x20AC;? she said in an interview while waiting for her flight to take off from Boston. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just unbelievable that something like this would happen to such a positive event.â&#x20AC;? Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Timothy McGinty also ran and wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hurt, spokeswoman Maria Russo said. Joe Fung, manager of Cincinnati-based the Running Spot store, said most of the roughly 20 runners with a group associated with the store had been accounted for.

Darris Blackford, director of the Columbus marathon, had finished the race about an hour earlier and was in his hotel room overlooking the finish area when he heard the explosion and saw the smoke billowing. His wife, Star Blackford, finished about ten minutes before the bombs went off. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m disappointed that it comes to a point where apparently thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no honor among anything anymore,â&#x20AC;? Darris Blackford said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what to make of it except itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just people taking advantage of innocent lives, literally innocent lives, doing nothing to harm anyone.â&#x20AC;? Blackford said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s already thinking about possible beefed-up security at the Columbus marathon in the fall, which attracted 18,000 runners and walkers last year.

Organizers of races huddle on security law enforcement on security efforts at events that draw significant crowds, such as baseball and football games, charity events and marathons. A previously planned meeting with police Tuesday had added urgency for Flying Pig Marathon officials, with the annual race weekend coming up May 3-5 in Cincinnati. As many as 33,000 people were expected to take part in a series of races downtown highlighted by the 15th marathon that Sunday morning. There are also races in the next few weeks in Toledo, Colum-

bus, and Cleveland. The Cincinnati race already has extensive security and medical response plans in place, but officials will consider whether additional measures are needed, executive director Iris Simpson-Bush said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just currently conducting our security audit with local police and fire officials and determining what additional measures we will need, as we continue to monitor the events in Boston,â&#x20AC;? Simpson-Bush said through a spokeswoman Tuesday afternoon while she worked on race plans.

REQUEST some work is already underway. The request was approved with the stipulations that apartment residents must park vehicles in off-street park-

ing spaces and certificates of occupancy must be obtained from the Ohio Department of Commerce, Board of Building Standards, prior to occupancy.

Budget offers Masons property-tax relief COLUMBUS (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Charitable fraternal organizations more than a century old could avoid paying property taxes under a narrowly-crafted budget proposal thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s headed to a vote in the Ohio House. Groups eligible for the roughly $4.8 million tax break include the Masons â&#x20AC;&#x201D; who count Republican House Speaker William Batchelder as a member â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Grange, Odd Fellows, Prince Hall Masons and Knights of Columbus. Veteransâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; groups donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t appear to be covered. The budget-writing House Finance Committee approved the tax measure Tuesday as part of a voluminous twoyear, $61.5 billion budget package. The provision was included even as

significant elements of Gov. John Kasichâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proposed tax code overhaul were removed from the bill to allow more time for study. The panel voted 20-9 to send the bill to the House floor, where a vote is likely Thursday. That was after agreeing to add $60 million for nursing homes; $16 million for a workforce training pilot program for the economically disadvantaged; a required study of gifted-education funding; and a prohibition against distributing contraceptives or promoting â&#x20AC;&#x153;sexual gateway activitiesâ&#x20AC;? in healtheducation classes. Batchelder spokesman Mike Dittoe said erasing the tax burden on fraternal groups is not a new idea.

REACTION Barb Ternasky, of Fort Loramie, was at work Monday and never knew she had reason to worry that day. Her daughter Kelly, who had moved to Boston from Columbus in January, was attending the Boston Marathon as a spectator, but Barb didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know about the danger until her daughter called her. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I knew she was there. I was at work,â&#x20AC;? Barb said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t realize anything was going on until she called me on my cell phone and told me she was OK.â&#x20AC;? When Kelly told her mother how close to the danger sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d been, Barb was glad she hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t known about it sooner. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She and her friends had been standing there (at the site of the bombing) about 10 minutes before it went off,â&#x20AC;? Barb said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Then they went off to get something to eat or something. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I asked her why they moved, and she said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really know. Just lucky, I guess.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Richard and Crystal Barton, of Greenville, are both veterans of the race. Richard finished the race about 10 minutes before the first explosion went off, and his wife finished 15 minutes ahead of him. After he crossed the finish line, Richard went looking for his wife near the medals, as theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d previously agreed. When the explosion

From Page 1

occurred, Richard thought it was cannon fire as part of the celebration; Crystal, who trained in the Army National Guard, knew what it was right away. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some of the people seemed really confused,â&#x20AC;? said Crystal, a probation officer at Sidney Municipal Court. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But I knew they were bombs, and the important things was that I find Richard right away. They found each other and ran out of the area to find a taxi. The taxi driver hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t yet heard the news, and they all listened to the radio for updates during the ride. By the time they arrived at their friendsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; home, they found their cell phones full of messages from people checking up on them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had all kinds of text messages and calls on our phones at that point,â&#x20AC;? Richard said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We just started calling peop;le and telling them what happened and that we were OK.â&#x20AC;? Kyle Brumbaugh, of Troy, ran his first-ever Boston Marathon Monday, fulfilling a dream heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d had since he was 10 years old. His wife, Nicole, cheered him from the sideline as he crossed the finish line in 2:51:51. The first explosion went off as the timer ticked to 4:09:43. It exploded, â&#x20AC;&#x153;not 200 feet from whereâ&#x20AC;? Nicole had been standing

about an hour and a half earlier, according to her husband. The Brumbaughs were on a shuttle bound for the airport when the explosions occurred. Troy resident Joe and Laurie Reiser were in Boston for a business convention, but they decided to extend their trip to attend the marathon. Joe is an avid runner and had friends running in the event. Fortunately, those friends were quick on their feet that day. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I saw a picture of the explosion on CNN (Tuesday),â&#x20AC;? Laurie said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And I could tell from the picture, it literally would have been right under our feet. It was exactly where we had been standing. If our friends had run the race a little slower, it would be a very different story today.â&#x20AC;? The Reisers were two blocks away when the explosion occurred. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sound like an explosion at first,â&#x20AC;? Laurie said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It sounded like construction. It sounded like something had fallen. At first we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what had happened, then we saw people running down the street and knew something was wrong.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D;â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Civitas writers David Fong and Ryan Carpe contributed to this report.

that variances must meet all four requirements in order to be approved. The Bernings were asked if the building could be placed elsewhere on the lot. Bernadette Berning said drainage problems prevented constructing the building elsewhere on the lot. A request by James Holthaus, owner of JDH Rentals LLC, for a variance to build an accessory building at 844 S. Walnut Ave. was approved. The garage will replace an existing garage at the address. Dulworth noted the proposed garage meets the four requirements for the variance, including the fact that there are other oversized buildings in the neighborhood.

CINCINNATI (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Organizers of Ohio marathons were among running officials across the globe taking hard looks Tuesday at security plans for their events, with new restrictions and stepped-up police presences considered likely after the deadly Boston Marathon explosions. The State Highway Patrol superintendent said troopers would increase their visible presence at the Statehouse and large-scale events around Ohio amid concern about potential copycat crimes and would work with other

NATION/WORLD TODAY IN HISTORY BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Today is Wednesday, April 17, the 107th day of 2013. There are 258 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On April 17, 1961, some 1,500 CIA-trained Cuban exiles launched the disastrous Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba in an attempt to topple Fidel Castro, whose forces crushed the incursion by the third day. On this date: • In 1492, a contract was signed by Christopher Columbus and a representative of Spain’s King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella, giving Columbus a commission to seek a westward ocean passage to Asia. • In 1521, Martin Luther went before the Diet of Worms (vohrms) to face charges stemming from his religious writings. (He was later declared an outlaw by Holy Roman Emperor Charles V.) • In 1861, the Virginia State Convention voted to secede from the Union. • In 1895, the Treaty of Shimonoseki ended the first Sino-Japanese War. • In 1937, the animated cartoon character Daffy Duck made his debut in the Warner Bros. cartoon “Porky’s Duck Hunt,” directed by Tex Avery. • In 1941, Yugoslavia surrendered to Germany during World War II. • In 1969, a jury in Los Angeles convicted Sirhan Sirhan of assassinating Sen. Robert F. Kennedy. The First Secretary of Czechoslovakia’s Communist Party, Alexander Dubcek, was deposed. • In 1970, Apollo 13 astronauts James A. Lovell, Fred W. Haise and Jack Swigert splashed down safely in the Pacific, four days after a ruptured oxygen tank crippled their spacecraft while en route to the moon. • In 1973, Federal Express (later FedEx) began operations as 14 planes carrying 186 packages took off from Memphis International Airport, bound for 25 U.S. cities. • In 1986, at London’s Heathrow Airport, a bomb was discovered in the bag of a pregnant Irishwoman about to board an El Al jetliner to Israel; she’d been tricked into carrying the bomb by her Jordanian fiance. • In 1993, a federal jury in Los Angeles convicted two former police officers of violating the civil rights of beaten motorist Rodney King; two other officers were acquitted. Turkish President Turgut Ozal died at age 66. • In 1997, former Israeli president Chaim Herzog died in Tel Aviv at age 78.

OUT OF THE BLUE

911? I want a divorce! GIRARD, Pa. (AP) — Police have cited a 42year-old Pennsylvania woman for disorderly conduct after she called 911 requesting a divorce and police assistance to make her husband leave. Troopers say the woman called just after 1 a.m. Saturday asking that officers be sent to her home in Girard Township in northwestern Pennsylvania. Police say they explained to the woman, whom they are not identifying, that a divorce is a civil matter and that they could not make her husband leave the residence because no crime had been committed. Instead, police have cited the woman for disorderly conduct and misusing the Erie County 911 system.

Letter with ricin sent to senator WASHINGTON (AP) — An envelope addressed to Sen. Roger Wicker of Mississippi twice tested positive Tuesday for ricin, a potentially fatal poison, congressional officials said, heightening concerns about terrorism a day after a bombing killed three and left more than 170 injured at the Boston Marathon. One senator, Claire McCaskill of Missouri, said authorities have a suspect in the fast-moving ricin case, but

she did not say if an arrest had been made. She added the letter was from an individual who frequently writes lawmakers. The FBI and U.S. Capitol Police are both investigating. Both declined to comment. Late Tuesday, Wicker released a statement acknowledging the letter and said it was sent to his Washington office. “This matter is part of an ongoing investigation by the

United States Capitol Police and FBI,” Wicker said. “I want to thank our law enforcement officials for their hard work and diligence in keeping those of us who work in the Capitol complex safe.” Terrance W. Gainer, the Senate sergeant-at-arms, said in an emailed message to Senate offices that the envelope to Wicker, a Republican, had no obviously suspicious outside markings and lacked a return address. It bore a

postmark from Memphis, Tenn.

PEOPLE REACT as an explosion goes off near the finish line sending authorities out on the course to carry off the injured of the 2013 Boston Marathon in Boston, Monday. Two explo- while the stragglers were rerouted away from the smoking site sions went off at the Boston Marathon finish line on Monday, of the blasts.

BOMBS hospitals, many with grievous injuries, a day after the twin explosions near the marathon’s finish line killed three people, wounded more than 170 and reawakened fears of terrorism. A 9-year-old girl and 10-yearold boy were among 17 victims listed in critical condition. Heightening jitters in Washington, where security already had been tightened after the bombing, a letter addressed to a senator and poisoned with ricin or a similarly toxic substance was intercepted at a mail facility outside the capital, lawmakers said. There was no immediate indication the episode was related to the Boston attack. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said the letter was sent to Republican Sen. Roger Wicker of Mississippi. Officials found that the bombs in Boston consisted of explosives put in ordinary, 1.6gallon pressure cookers, one with shards of metal and ball bearings, the other with nails, according to a person close to the investigation who spoke on condition of anonymity because the probe was still going on. Both bombs were stuffed into black duffel bags and left on the ground, the person said. DesLauriers confirmed that investigators had found pieces of black nylon from a bag or backpack and fragments of BBs and nails, possibly contained in a pressure cooker. He said the items were sent to the FBI laboratory at Quantico, Va., for analysis. Investigators said they have not yet determined what was used to set off the explosives. Pressure-cooker explosives have been used in international terrorism, and have been rec-

TWO MEN in hazardous materials suits put numbers on the shattered glass and debris as they investigate the scene at the first bombing on Boylston Street in Boston Tuesday near the finish line of the 2013 Boston Marathon, a day after two blasts killed three and injured more than 170 people. The bombs that ripped through the Boston Marathon crowd were fashioned out of ordinary kitchen pressure cookers, packed with nails and other fiendishly lethal shrapnel, and hidden in duffel bags left on the ground, people close to the investigation said Tuesday. ommended for lone-wolf operatives by Al-Qaida’s branch in Yemen. But information on how to make the bombs is readily found online, and U.S. officials said Americans should not rush to judgment in linking the attack to overseas terrorists. DesLauriers said there had been no claim of responsibility for the attack. He urged people to come forward with anything suspicious, such as hearing someone express an interest in explosives or a desire to attack the marathon, seeing someone carrying a dark heavy bag at the

race, or hearing mysterious explosions recently. “Someone knows who did this,” the FBI agent said. The bombs exploded 10 or more seconds apart, tearing off victims’ limbs and spattering streets with blood, instantly turning the festive race into a hellish scene of confusion, horror and heroics. The blasts killed 8-year-old Martin Richard of Boston, 29year-old Krystle Campbell of Medford, Mass., and a third victim, identified only as a graduate student at Boston University. Doctors who treated the

wounded corroborated reports that the bombs were packed with shrapnel intended to cause mayhem. “We’ve removed BBs and we’ve removed nails from kids. One of the sickest things for me was just to see nails sticking out of a little girl’s body,” said Dr. David Mooney, director of the trauma center at Boston Children’s Hospital. At Massachusetts General Hospital, all four amputations performed there were above the knee, with no hope of saving more of the legs, said Dr. George Velmahos, chief of trauma surgery.

Quake hits Iran, Pakistan, dozens killed TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — An earthquake toppled homes and shops on both sides of the IranPakistan border Tuesday, killing dozens of people and causing skyscrapers to sway in Dubai. It also forced Iranian officials — for the second time in less than a week — to issue assurances that its main nuclear reactor wasn’t damaged. At least 34 people were killed in a single village in Pakistan, a military official said. But the overall death toll became clouded after conflicting reports from Iran. At first, Iran’s state-in Press TV said at least 40 people died — which would push the twonation tally to 74. But it later

retreated from its account, and other Iranian outlets stepped in with a far less dire picture. Despite the conflicting reports on the Iranian side, a Pakistani military official said at least 34 were killed on their side of the border and 80 were injured. Up to 1,000 mud homes were damaged, Pakistan Television added. The military spoke on condition of anonymity in line with Pakistan military policy. A Pakistani policeman, Azmatullah Regi, said nearly three dozen homes and shops collapsed in one village in the Mashkel area, which was the hardest hit by the quake. Rescue workers pulled the bodies

of a couple and their three children, ages 5 to 15, from the rubble of one house, he said. The Pakistani army ordered paramilitary troops to assist with rescue operations and provide medical treatment. Additional troops are being moved to the area, and army helicopters were mobilized to carry medical staff, tents, medicine and other relief items. The discrepancies and apparent backtracking in the Iranian reports could not be immediately reconciled, but it was the second quake to hit Iran in less than week and authorities could be seeking to downplay casualties. Commentary on Iranian TV

criticized international media for “exaggerating” the death toll, raising further questions about the full extent of the damage in the rugged region that’s a front line in Iran’s battle against drug traffickers and the Sunni-based militant group, Jundallah, which carries out sporadic attacks. Iran’s state-run Press TV initially said at least 40 people were killed on the Iranian side, but later removed the figure from its website and news scroll. Other state-controlled outlets, including the official IRNA news agency, mentioned no deaths and only up to 27 injuries, quoting a local official.

MORE TOMATO Dear Heloise: We are tomato lovers, and have always grown our own in Indiana. Now, in Florida and retired, we no longer have the abundance, so we treat every tomato with more respect. To increase the yield on a tomato, don’t slice it to remove the stem portion. Instead, slice down through the stem so that the tomato is halved and the stem is on both halves. Now V-cut the stems out, and you will enjoy more tomato and have less waste. — A Reader in Florida COLLECT DUST Dear Heloise: I collect cookie jars and display them on top of my kitchen cabinets.

We are so grateful to our volunteers — all (ISC)²-certified cyber security experts — who are immensely dedicated to sharing their critical knowledge to help protect the next generation of cyber users and spark interest in the up-and-coming career field of information security.” Those experts presented the program to students in Sidney Middle, Northwood, Emerson, Holy Angels, Whittier, Jackson Center, Longfellow, Christian Academy, Botkins and Anna schools. They have also presented it to thousands of other children in seven countries. “Technology continues to play a pivotal role in transforming how business and society functions. For the past 25 years, the Computer-

world Honors Program has had the privilege of celebrating innovative IT achievements,” said John Amato, vice president and publisher of Computerworld. “Computerworld is honored to recognize the outstanding accomplishments of the 2013 class of laureates and to share their work. These projects demonstrate how IT can advance organizations’ ability to compete, innovate, communicate and prosper.” “We knew the ‘Safe and Secure Online’ program was among the best available. That’s why we chose it,” said Patricia Ann Speelman, Localife editor of the Daily News, who coordinated the project in Shelby County. “Computerworld’s honoring that program validates our opinion. We congratulate the (ISC)2 Foundation and the volunteers who came to Shelby County — Brian Rappach, Kim LaPole, Aaron Fogel, Nick Jenkins and James Sandin — on this wonderful achievement.” The Shelby County project and the articles published about it in the Daily News have also won an 2012 Associated Press of Ohio Award.

YOUR DENTAL HEALTH

What causes cold sores? By Dr. Jeff Van Treese

old sores start out with a tingling sensation on the firmer tissues of the lip, outside of the cheeks, corners of the mouth, and on the tongue. Small blisters then form that are yellowish in color with red raised borders. Unlike other types of mouth sores, cold sores are Jeff Van Treese, D.D.S. contagious!

Cold sores are actually a form of the herpes virus that lives within the nerve that goes to the region of the sore. That’s why cold sores almost always occur in the same general area. It is thought that stress is a big factor in the outbreak of cold sores. That stress can be emotional, chemical (allergy to make-up), or physical (manipulation during a dental appointment). Cold sores last for about 7-10 days and then subside. They are usually not painful.

CLEARWATER, Fla. — “Safe and Secure Online,” the program that taught computer safety to 3,500 Shelby County children last fall, has been named a 2013 Laureate in IDG Computerworld’s Honors Program. The Sidney Daily News and the Shelby County Sheriff ’s Office took professional presenters connected with the (ISC)2 (“ISCsquared”) Foundation into schools throughout Shelby County to give programs about cyber safety to secondthrough eighth-graders in October and November, They presented “Safe and Secure Online,” a multi-media program developed by (ISC)2, the largest nonprofit membership body of certified information and software security professionals worldwide, with more than 90,000 members in more than 135 countries. “Safe and Secure Online” was selected from among 700 nominations to become one of 269 laureates from 69 countries. The annual award program honors visionary applications of information technology promoting positive social, economic, and educational change. Founded by International Data Group (IDG) in 1988, the Computerworld Honors Program is governed by the nonprofit Computerworld Information Technology Awards Foundation. Computerworld Honors is the longest running, global program to honor individuals and organizations that use information technology to promote positive social, economic and educational change. The Computerworld Honors Program awards will be presented at a ceremony on June 3 at the Andrew W. Mellon Auditorium in Washington, D.C. During this ceremony, each laureate will be recognized publicly and presented with an award. Additionally, five laureates from each of the 11 honors categories will be named as finalists for a 21st Century Achievement Award. One finalist in each category will then be named a 21st Century Achievement Award winner. “The (ISC)2 Founda-

Applications for the $1,500 scholarship must be submitted by June 3. Eligible students must have completed at least one year of college, have a college grade point average of at least 3.0. Majors in the visual or performing arts will typically qualify. For information

Cold sores are contagious while blisters are present. They are usually passed from parents to children by contact with clothing, pillowcases, and the sharing of utensils. Once you have the herpes virus, it is a life-long nuisance. The best thing that you can do if you have cold sores is to protect the others around you by minimizing shared contact with clothing and kitchen utensils.

Before the days of universal precautions, dentists would catch the herpes virus from patients with active lesions. Without rubber gloves, the virus would cross from the patient’s mouth to the dentists fingers. Dentists would suffer from a debilitating variant of cold sores that would occur on his or her fingers and render them unable to practice. Even with the use of gloves, your dentist may request that you reschedule your appointment if you have an active cold sore. This is a public health decision because another patient may inadvertently be infected by casual contact. In no way would this be a negative reflection on you, but it is a sign that the dentist cares for the health of all of his or her patients. The best thing to do is to call the office if you have cold sore on the day of your appointment and ask what the dentist would prefer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

TO THE EDITOR

Clancy’s treats state tournament champs to free meal To the editor: The Fort Loramie girls basketball team would like to express our appreciation to Clancy’s Restaurant in Sidney. After both we and the Anna girls basketball team won the Division 4 and Division 3 basketball state championships, respectively, this year, Clancy’s was kind enough to contact both coaches and offer to treat all of us to a meal on them. On March 27 both teams gathered at Clancy’s and enjoyed drinks, lasagna, a bread stick and dessert. The food was great and everyone had a good time. Finally, the Fort Loramie girls basketball team and our coaches would like to once again express our gratitude to everyone at Clancy’s that made our great meal possible! We all thoroughly enjoyed the food and time we got to spend with each other once again!

TO THE EDITOR

Why was alternative school closed? Consider To the editor: go from being bad students to prothe source I would like to start by asking the ductive adults. Two were mine. school board why they are closing the alternate school? They say it’s because of funding, but then I learn they received a large check from the casinos. I do realize this is for the whole county, but this school served the whole county. Second, they hired new staff instead of offering their present staff jobs. Not sure why that happened. Thirdly, they are now putting these kids in classes by themselves behind computers. So they aren’t going to learn how to interact with other students. Also, if they don’t conform to their standards they will be sent to juvenile hall. So now we’re not teaching kids to be productive adults, but juvenile delinquents. I’m not sure why this is happening, but I don’t think it is fair to those kids. This school offered so much to these kids and their families. I watched so many of these students

The staff helped the families help their children. The school board says there isn’t enough data on how many students graduated or became productive adults. Well I got news for them, I know of two! You need to open your eyes. These kids might not become doctors or lawyers, but they will or would have become productive adults.

To the editor: Regarding Ms. Fonda’s statement to “get a life” regarding a recent threat to boycott an upcoming movie reported by The Hollywood Reporter, where she portrays Nancy Reagan, she said: “If it creates hoopla, it will cause more people to see the movie. … I figured it would tweak the right. Who cares?” Well, I care. Many of those who served our country during the Vietnam War, and their families, have broken or no “lives” because of uncaring thinking and careless actions, now and in the past, similar to those of this actress.

COLUMBUS — Undercover agents with the Ohio Investigative Unit are taking an active role in enforcing Ohio’s alcohol laws to ensure everyone has an enjoyable and safe prom season. Agents throughout Ohio will be conducting compliance checks on liquor permit premises, educating Ohio’s high school students through Sober Truth classes, and working with local alcohol coalitions and law enforcement to bring awareness to the dangers of underage drinking. “This is a memorable time for Ohio’s students, parents and school administrators,” said Agentin-Charge Eric Wolf. “We don’t want these memories to be tarnished by underage drinking — remember, You Booze, You Lose.” Agents remind liquor permit premises to watch for underage individuals attempting to purchase beer — often with a false identification. Clerks should also lookout for individuals 21 and over purchasing alcohol for a person who is not yet 21. In Ohio it is illegal to share in the cost of purchasing alcoholic beverages, or attempts to do so — even if the sale is refused. Parents who are hosting a party for their child’s friends should also be aware of Ohio’s laws and how they could impact them. In the state of Ohio, parents cannot give alcohol to children who are under 21, even with the other parents’ permission. Parents also cannot allow minors to consume alcohol in their home. Anyone convicted of attempting to purchase alcohol as a minor, sharing in the cost, using false identification or furnishing alcohol to a minor may face a maximum sentence of six months in jail and/or a $1,000 fine. Anyone under 21 years

A picture ID with full name, such as a driver’s license, is necessary to have in order to donate. Donors should be in good health and eat their normal diet.

BOE approves retirements BY MELANIE SPEICHER mspeicher@civitasmedia.com The retirements of three employees of the Sidney City Schools were approved Monday night by the Board of Education. Certified employees Irene Cooper, MD teacher, and Jennifer VanMatre, middle school language arts teacher, along with classified employee Patricia Smith, custodian, will be retiring at the end of the school year. Cooper’s last day with the district will be May 31. VanMatre’s last day will be July 31. Smith’s last day will be June 30. The board also accepted the resignations of Amelia Kline, high school business education teacher, effective May 24; Dahlia Stevens, substitute teacher, effective March 29; and Aaron Steinke, middle school math teacher, effective at the end of the school year. The limited contract of Tony Wagner, high school math teacher, was nonrenewed effective at the end of the school year. Superintendent John Scheu said the decision had “nothing to do with teacher performance.” Wagner is a retire/rehire teacher and the district is looking to hire a teacher with the qualifications to teach dual enrollment in calculus, precalculus plus hold a master’s degree in their teaching field and have at least five years of teaching experience in an upper level class ( physics, calculus etc.). Dual enrollment allow the student to get high school and college credit for the class.

Only retired teachers, said Scheu after the meeting, are rehired in hard-to-get areas such as physics, calculus, chemistry or speech pathologists. All the positions will be filled prior to the 2013-14 school year, said Scheu. The board also nonrenewed the supplemental contracts of Tara Karn, junior varsity/varsity soccer cheer adviser, Josh Danklefsen, boys junior varsity soccer coach, and Kari Bernard, junior varsity volleyball coach. All three are noncertified individuals. Tom Clark was hired on a one-year limited supplemental contract as the 2013 summer school director. He will be paid $1,000. In a vote of 4-1, which Bill Ankney casting the lone no vote, the board approved the reemployment of Sharon Davis, speech/hearing therapist on a part-time basis (118 days), and Bob Tenney, high school physics teacher. Ankeny said he voted no because Tenney is a retire/rehire employee. “I don’t see any plan in place to replace him,” Ankney commented after the meeting. He thought the rehire would only be for one year and it has now been several years. In other business, the board: • Approved the the issuance of continuing contracts, oneyear contracts, two-year contracts and three-year contracts for certified employees. Receiving continuing contracts were Amanda Albers, Nichole Inman, Cheryl Clark, Kim Marquez and Adam Doenges. One-year contracts were given to Ruth Baker, Joe

Honda recognizes top North Time Warner updates mobile TV app American parts suppliers INDIANAPOLIS — Honda honored 53 suppliers in North America recently for excellence in key performance categories including quality, value and on-time delivery for their efforts during the company’s record production year in 2012. The annual conference includes a network of 632 original equipment manufacturer (OEM) suppliers. Honda also met separately with service parts suppliers that provide parts for inmarket Honda and Acura vehicles, honoring an additional 50 suppliers for outstanding performance. Among those honored were NK Parts Inc. and NK Parts Industries Inc., both of Sidney, which received service parts supplier awards. After a very challenging 2011, with two epic natural disasters in Japan and Thailand disrupting Honda’s global parts procurement and production, Honda’s North American operations manufactured a record 1.7 million automobiles in 2012, as the company worked to replenish its product pipeline and rebuild dealer inventories, company officials said. This included 1.2 million passenger cars and light trucks in the United States. As a result,

Honda set a record by purchasing $24.2 billion in parts and materials from OEM suppliers in the region, including $21.9 billion from parts suppliers in the U.S. “After 30 years of building cars in America, we are shifting into even higher gear,” said Hidenobu Iwata, president and CEO of Honda North America Services LLC and leader of North American automobile manufacturing. “We are transforming Honda in North America as we grow our capabilities and assume a much larger role within global Honda.” In addition to supporting its ongoing expansion in North America, Honda’s 632 suppliers in the region will take on additional responsibilities to lead the launch of global products, such as the Civic, that Honda manufactures in markets around the world. This means the North American region will lead the engineering and manufacturing launches of these new models, and then share production knowledge and processes Honda plants with around the world. Further, in 2014, Honda will open a new auto plant in Celaya, Mexico, to build the next

generation of the Honda Fit and other vehicles for the subcompact segment. This will expand Honda’s North American production capacity to nearly two million (1.92 million) passenger cars and light trucks. “As a result, 95 percent of the vehicles we sell in North America will be made here as well,” Iwata said to the more than 600 suppliers attending the event. “In addition, within the next two years, Honda will become a net exporter from North America.” After more than 30 years of expansion, Honda and its large supplier network have established a strong foundation in North America, and this is a starting point to take on new global responsibilities, said Jim Wehrman, senior vice president at Honda of America Mfg. “I guess you could say ‘no good deed goes unpunished,’ because our success together has earned us increased responsibility to make North America Honda’s leading and most competitive region in the world,” Wehrman said. “Now we must have a global focus. This is a giant leap for Honda in North America.” Suppliers will also support a substantial in-

crease in the export of Honda and Acura automobiles from North America in the next few years, to a level doubling last year’s export total of nearly 100,000 units. This means that for the first time in its history, Honda will export more vehicles from North American that it will import from Japan. “Together, we are now on a global stage,” said Tom Lake, division manager of Honda’s North American Purchasing. “Honda is growing, and we want our suppliers to grow with us and share in that success. To support our global role, you need to provide strong regional leadership in both the design and production of innovative, next-generation parts and components.” Lake added that Honda’s suppliers in North America will have both opportunities and challenges as they assume these new responsibilities to expand production and meet the expectations of customers in other regions of the world. This will include initiatives to improve the quality, efficiency and flexibility of their production operations. American Honda provides service and accessory parts for the nearly 20 million Honda and Acura automobiles in operation in the United States today. The company manages a national network of warehousing and distribution facilities that deliver high-quality, high-value service parts to approximately 1,300 Honda and Acura dealers nationwide. Honda purchased more than $1.1 billion in parts from its service parts suppliers in North America last year.

Girl seeks intelligent boyfriend

DR. WALLACE: I’m 19 and attending Orange Coast College. When I finish my formal education, I plan to be an elementary teacher. I consider myself a good person with only a few minor flaws and one major one — I smoke! I’ve been smoking regularly for more than three years. I’ve tried quitting, but I just can’t seem to shake the nicotine habit. I know that I have to eventually quit smoking for two reasons — my health and smelling like a fireplace when I teach. I’ve been told that if I switch to a low-tar cigarette, it would be less dangerous and easier to stop smoking altogether. Is this true? — Nameless, Costa Mesa, Calif. NAMELESS: The American Lung Association says that low-tar cigarettes often produce higher levels of harmful chemicals. Furthermore, smokers, in order to get a full ration of nicotine, simply inhale low-tar cigarettes more frequently and more deeply, or smoke more of them. Your best bet is to draw upon your own strong will. Visualize yourself as a healthy non-smoker who looks good, feels good, and smells good! If you stay strong, it won’t take long to reach your goal, and you’ll be glad you did. You’ll also have more cash in your wallet! Dr. Robert Wallace welcomes questions from readers. Although he is unable to reply to all of them individually, he will answer as many as possible in this column.

DR. WALLACE: I attend a middle school of s e v enth, eighth a n d ninth grade s t u dents. I’m in t h e ’Tween s e v 12 & 20 e n t h grade, Dr. Robert but I Wallace totally ignore all the boys because they are so immature. I’d like to have a boyfriend, but I guess I’ll just have to wait until I’m in high school. All of my girlfriends feel the same way. I want an intelligent boyfriend. Most of the boys in our school run in the halls, yell at each other, eat like pigs in the cafeteria, rarely take a shower and try to dress cool and mod but actually look stupid. Also, most of them don’t appear to do much homework. Ugh! I can’t wait until we have a female president. — Nameless, Louisville, Ky. NAMELESS: It’s true that girls mature both mentally and physically before boys, but Mother Nature is fair and allows boys to catch up with girls by about age 15. But there are always exceptions. I’m sure some of the boys who are your age are capable of meeting your high standards. You just haven’t been looking hard enough. Start by joining clubs and spending some time in the school library.

Sommerall Weeden, dead at 82 DALLAS (AP) — Pat Summerall was the calm alongside John Madden’s storm. four Over decades, Summerall described some of the biggest games in America in his deep, resonant Simple, voice. Sommerall spare, he delivered the details on 16 Super Bowls, the Masters and the U.S. Open tennis tournament with a simple, understated style that was the perfect complement for the “booms!” and “bangs!” of Madden, his football partner for the last half of the NFL player-turned-broadcaster’s career. Summerall died Tuesday at age 82 of cardiac arrest, said University of Texas SouthCenter western Medical spokesman Jeff Carlton, speaking on behalf of Summerall’s wife, Cheri. “Pat was my broadcasting partner for a long time, but more than that he was my friend for all of these years,” Madden said in a statement. “Pat Summerall is the voice of football and always will be.” His final play-by-play words beside Madden were succinct, of course, as he called the game-ending field goal of the Super Bowl for Fox on Feb. 3, 2002, when New England beat St. Louis 20-17. “It’s right down the pipe. Adam Vinatieri. No time on the clock. And the Patriots have won Super Bowl XXXVI. Unbelievable,” Summerall said. Sparse, exciting, perfect. A flawless summation without distracting from the reaction viewers could see on the screen. At the end of their final broadcast together, Madden described Summerall as “a treasure” and the “spirit of the National Football League” in a tribute to the partner that complemented the boisterous former Oakland Raiders coach so well. As former teammate and broadcaster Frank Gifford put it in an accompanying video tribute: “America is very comfortable with Pat Summerall.” Summerall played 10 NFL seasons from 1952 to 1961 with the Chicago Cardinals and New York Giants, but it was in his second career that he became a voice familiar to generations of sports fans, not only those of the NFL. “Pat was a friend of nearly 40 years,” CBS Sports broadcaster Verne Lundquist said. “He was a master of restraint in his commentary, an example for all of us. He was also one of the great storytellers who ever spoke into a microphone.” Summerall started doing NFL games for CBS in 1964, and became a play-by-play guy 10 years later. He was also part of coverage of the PGA Tour, including the Masters from 1968-94, and U.S. Open tennis. When CBS lost its NFL deal after the 1993 season, Summerall switched to Fox to keep calling NFL games with Madden. Summerall had hoped to keep working with CBS for other events like the Masters, but network executives saw it otherwise. At the time, CBS Sports anchor Jim Nantz said he was “very saddened” that Summerall didn’t get to leave CBS under his own terms. “Pat Summerall was a hero to me,” Nantz said Tuesday. “I treasured the gift of friendship that I had with him. I was his understudy for 10 years. He could not have been more generous or kind to a young broadcaster.” A recovering alcoholic, Summerall had a liver transplant in April 2004. The lifesaving surgery was necessary even after 12 years of sobriety.

BEREA, Ohio (AP) — Quarterbacks Brandon Weeden and Jason Campbell threw passes side by side as the Cleveland Browns opened their first minicamp of the season. The 29-year-old Weeden, the 22nd overall pick in last year’s draft, is the incumbent and started 15 games last year. Campbell, 31, was signed as a free agent on March 26 after appearing in six games last season with the Bears. Eighteen quarterbacks have started games for the Cleveland Browns since they returned to the NFL in 1999. Weeden plans on keeping the job. “I want to compete, and having Jason here is better for everyone involved because we’ll push each other,” Weeden said. “This is probably the biggest year of my career because I’ve got to show that I can play at this level and make adjustments. “Now that it’s my second year here, it’s my time to take control and be the guy. They’re not going to stick me out there if they don’t think I’m the guy who can win games.” New Browns coach Rob Chudzinski is overseeing the three-day voluntary minicamp at the franchise’s training facility after being hired as Cleveland’s 14th full-time head coach on Jan. 10. The minicamp opened one day after FBI and Internal Revenue Service agents executed four search warrants at the Knoxville, Tenn., headquarters of Pilot Flying J, whose CEO is new Browns owner Jimmy Haslam III.

CLEVELAND BROWNS head coach Rob Chudzinski watches during NFL football mini-camp at the team's training facility Tuesday in Berea. At an afternoon press conference in Knoxville, Haslam acknowledged that the investigation could cast a negative light on his NFL franchise. “First of all, I apologize, because the last thing we ever want to do is put any kind of blemish on the city of Cleveland, which we’ve grown to love, or the Browns,” he said. “We’ll manage things down here. And guys, it’s the first week we can really practice on the field, so let’s focus on that.” Haslam said he has spoken with Browns CEO Joe Banner,

team president Alec Scheiner, general manager Michael Lombardi, and Chudzinski about the situation. But the first-time head coach said he wasn’t concerned about it affecting his work. “Obviously, I don’t know too much about what’s going on with that,” Chudzinski said. “I’ve got enough on my plate. Nothing has changed about what we’re doing here.” Haslam echoed that sentiment, relaying his conversation with the Browns’ football braintrust. “They said, ‘Is everything OK?’ and I said, ‘Hey, we’re

great,’” Haslam said, adding that he plans on traveling to Cleveland “to participate in draft preparation” on Thursday and Friday. The Browns’ draft preparation will likely include lengthy discussions about quarterbacks Geno Smith of West Virginia, Ryan Nassib of Syracuse, and EJ Manuel of Florida State. Cleveland has the No. 6 pick in the first round, and Banner has repeatedly avoided naming Weeden the franchise’s longterm solution at the position. See BROWNS/Page 15

GOV. BILL Haslam speaks to reporters during an impromptu visit in the press suite at the legislative office complex in Nashville, Tenn., on Tuesday. The Republican governor said he still doesn't know why federal agents searched the Knoxville headquarters of the family-owned Pilot Flying J chain of truck stops.

Agents raid headquarters of Browns owner’s business NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Cleveland Browns owner Jimmy Haslam said Tuesday the federal government has launched a criminal investigation into rebates offered by the truck stop chain owned by his family, including his brother, Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam. Agents from the FBI and Internal Revenue Service raided the Pilot Flying J headquarters in Knoxville on Monday. Jimmy Haslam, who is the CEO of Pilot Flying J, held a news conference in Knoxville to confirm the investigation is criminal, rather than civil, in nature. “We don’t know a lot. It appears to be centered on a very insignificant number of customers and the application of rebates, that rebates that were owed to the customers were not paid. We, of course, disagree with that,” the CEO said. Haslam said subpoenas had been issued to several members of his 23-person

sales force, though he said he was unable to identify any specifically. Haslam said he had not been subpoenaed and no one has been arrested. Bill Killian, the U.S. attorney in Knoxville, told The Associated Press that four search warrants have been served on Pilot, but the reasons have been sealed by a federal court. FBI and Internal Revenue Service agents locked down the Pilot Flying J headquarters Monday afternoon and ordered most employees out of the building as they conducted their search well past midnight. Haslam said essential personnel were allowed to remain in the building to ensure the company’s nearly 500 truck stops had sufficient fuel supplies. “It does not involve, as best we can tell — and I’m pretty sure we’re right — any type of tax issue,” he said. “So there’s

no evasion of tax or federal taxes, which candidly is what your suppliers, particularly fuel suppliers, worry about.” Investigators are looking at rebates offered to trucking company customers, the company said. Some trucking companies receive discounts or rebates on fuel purchases from truck stop chains. Haslam said that the company is launching an internal investigation, and that his responsibilities as owner of the Browns wouldn’t be affected. He said he planned to travel to Cleveland this week and next as the team prepares for the NFL draft. “First of all I apologize, because the last thing we ever want to do is put any kind of blemish on the city of Cleveland — which we’ve grown to love — or the Browns,” he said. “So I personally feel bad about that, even though I don’t think we’ve done anything wrong.”

COLUMBUS (AP) —Three weeks after signing a longterm contract extension at the University of Wa s h i n g t o n , Kevin McGuff came home to become the new women’s basketball coach at McGuff Ohio State. Ohio State, which announced the hiring Tuesday, didn’t disclose terms of McGuff ’s contract. Washington said his buyout would be $1.75 million. “This is an amazing opportunity for my family and me to come back to the state of Ohio,” said McGuff, who spent nine seasons as the head coach at Xavier before taking the job with the Huskies. “As someone who is from the state of Ohio, I know how special of a place this is and my goal is to have Ohio State competing at the highest level.” The 43-year-old McGuff, who won 41 games the last two seasons with the Huskies, takes over for Jim Foster, who was fired last month after the Buckeyes failed to win 20 games or make the NCAA tournament for the first time in his 11-year tenure. After seasons of 20-14 and 21-12 last year, McGuff signed a contract extension with the Huskies through the 2019-20 season on March 26. A former assistant coach at Miami University and for six seasons at Notre Dame, McGuff was 214-73 in his nine years at Xavier. The Hamilton native’s Musketeers won four A-10 championships, and his last two teams went 29-4 and 30-3. Xavier made it to six NCAA tournaments, but McGuff ’s teams never advanced to a Final Four. McGuff is 255-99 in 11 years as a head coach.

BROWNS Weeden, though, remains unfazed by it all. During the winter, the former New York Yankees farmhand worked out with another pro baseball-to-football quarterback in Chris Weinke, honing specific skills. “Chris and I have a lot in common, so it worked out well,” Weeden said. “We spent a lot of time speeding up my feet and eliminating the pat (of the football) that I fell into last season. Those things should improve my accuracy, which I know has to get better.” Thaddeus Lewis is the only other quarterback on the roster, but has just one NFL game under his belt. Weeden passed for a Browns rookie-record 3,385 yards, but only completed 57.4 percent of his throws and tossed 17 interceptions to 14

touchdowns. “I’m not going to comment at all on what happened last year,” said Chudzinski, who replaced Pat Shurmur after Cleveland’s 5-11 campaign. “I will tell you what I see when I look at Brandon. He has some tools, a good arm, and the ability to get the ball down the field. I’m looking forward to working with him.” Weeden took all of the snaps with the firstteam offense during the two-hour practice, while Campbell worked with Cleveland’s second unit. The session was held inside the Browns’ field house. Campbell, who said he would speak to reporters Thursday, has 14,682 career passing yards and has completed 60.9 percent of his throws. At 6foot-5 and 230 pounds, Campbell also stands

two inches taller and is 10 pounds heavier than his competition. “I’m glad to have Jason on board because he’s a veteran guy who can help the Browns,” Weeden said. “But I’m also glad he’s here because he’s a good dude. We met last year in the preseason when we played Chicago, and I really liked the guy.” NOTES: All NFL teams that make coaching changes are given one bonus minicamp in the spring, which the Browns chose to hold at their team training facility. ... RB Trent Richardson declined comment on a civil lawsuit in which he was named last month. According to the document filed in Cuyahoga County, two plaintiffs claim they were verbally and physically abused at Richardson’s home on Dec. 9, 2012. “I

can’t say nothing about that,” he said. “I wish I could, but I can’t.” ... Starting LG Jason Pinkston has been medically cleared to resume physical activities, but Chudzinski said he will be brought back slowly. The third-year pro fell ill during Cleveland’s game against Cincinnati on Oct. 14 and was diagnosed with a season-ending blood clot. ... Three NFL veterans — WR Legedu Naanee, WE Seyi Ajirotutu, and DB Chris Rucker — are participating in minicamp on a tryout basis. ... WR David Nelson should be ready for the start of training camp, according to Chudzinski. Nelson tore his right anterior cruciate ligament in Buffalo’s 2012 season opener, requiring reconstructive surgery, and signed with the Browns on April 8.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Shabazz Muhammad is one-and-done at UCLA. The Pac-12 co-freshman of the year on Tuesday announced the news that had been expected since he arrived in Westwood: he’s leaving to enter the NBA draft. Muhammad was the Bruins’ leading scorer with 17.9 points per game, fourth-best in the league. The 6-foot-6 guard from Las Vegas was named to the allleague first team and helped UCLA to a 25-10 record, the Pac-12 regular-season title and a runner-up finish in the league tournament. The Bruins lost to Minnesota in the second round of the NCAA tournament.

Irving apologizes to fans CLEVELAND (AP) — Cavaliers All-Star guard Kyrie Irving apologized for skipping a postgame ceremony for fans following Cleveland’s final home game on Monday against Miami. Irving was stripped of the ball by Norris Cole in the closing seconds of the 96-95 loss to the Heat, who rested LeBron James and most of their stars. Irving immediately ran off the floor and to the locker room instead of participating in a jersey giveaway on Irving “Fan Appreciation Night.” All the Cavs players handed out their game-worn jerseys and sneakers. Irving, the league’s reigning Rookie of the Year, posted an apology on his Twitter account for missing the event. “I want to personally apologize to all the Cavs fans for my actions yesterday,” Irving wrote. “It was truly unfair to you guys. I’m very appreciative for all of you guys. Your love and passion for the organization and city is what pushes me to be great.”

Brewer’s Gallardo cited MILWAUKEE (AP) — Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Yovani Gallardo has been cited for drunken driving after authorities said he drove with a blood-alcohol content nearly three times the legal limit. Milwaukee County sheriff's spokeswoman Fran McLaughlin says deputies responded about 2 a.m. Tuesday to a report of a possibly intoxicated driver. She says Gallardo was driving down a Milwaukee freeway at 40 mph in a 55-mph zone. Gallardo McLaughlin quotes the arrest report as saying Gallardo had red glassy eyes, slurred speech and smelled like alcohol. The report says his blood-alcohol level was 0.22, nearly three times the legal limit of 0.08. McLaughlin says Gallardo faces nearly $800 in fines. A statement from the Brewers says the team expressed its disappointment to Gallardo and he is taking responsibility for his actions.

Tribe’s Bourn to be on DL CLEVELAND (AP) — Michael Bourn’s finger is stitched and splinted. It’s better, but not well enough to keep the Indians center fielder from going on the 15-day disabled list. Manager Terry Francona said the plan is to put Bourn on the DL in coming days. The leadoff hitter cut his right index finger on Sunday when he dived into first base and got stepped on by White Sox pitcher Matt Thornton. Bourn needed five stitches to close the gash. He’ll miss more than a week once he goes on the DL.

Curry nears 3-point record OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Two shy of setting a new NBA standard, the question circulating around the Golden State Warriors locker room is when — not if — Stephen Curry will break Ray Allen's single-season record of 269 3-pointers during Wednesday night's finale at Portland. The rejuvenated Warriors point guard has shown just what he can do in a season of near-perfect health. He is shooting 45.5 percent from beyond the arc and averaging almost 3½ baskets from long range over his 77 games played.

CINCINNATI (AP) — The Bengals have signed tight end Alex Smith as an unrestricted free agent from Cleveland. The ninth-year player has spent the last three seasons with Cleveland. He played in 12 games last year, starting two, and had 13 catches for 47 yards. He missed three games because of a concussion. Smith was Tampa Bay's third-round draft pick in 2005. He played for the Buccaneers through 2008 before moving to Philadelphia. He has started 55 games through his career, catching 160 passes with 12 touchdowns.

It was determined that the devices were live munitions and the Dayton Bomb Squad safely detonated the explosives at a site near the sheriff’s office.

WWII grenades detonated by bomb squad The Dayton Bomb Squad was called in Monday afternoon to detonate two World War II explosives found in a in Shelby garage County. A county resident turned over to the Shelby County Sheriff ’s Office at approximately 8:30 a.m. Monday two possible explosives stored in a garage on Thompson-Schiff Road, to Chief according Deputy Jim Frye. The devices were taken to the Shelby County Sheriff ’s Office range. Photos were taken of the devices and emailed to the Dayton Bomb Squad officials, It was verified that the devices were a Japanese hand grenade and a Japanese small mortar shell. “They were determined to be live,” Frye said. The Dayton Bomb Squad responded to the

range and examined the devices, which were then taken to a location Children’s Home Road referred to as the county dump. The devices were then detonated without any problem. “As mementos of the wars are discovered by members, I family would caution anyone who comes across devices of this type and encourage them to call the Sheriff ’s Office or their local police departments,” Shelby County Sheriff John Lenhart said. “What may look like an innocent item can actually be a live device capable of serious destruction.” Lenhart also thanked the Dayton Police Departments Bomb Squad, the Sidney Fire Department and the Shelby County Engineers Office for their assistance in disposing of the explosives.

BANQUET Planning commission member Merrill Asher, who cast the lone vote against the rezoning, pointed out the building would have to be brought up to code if the project is completed. “I don’t know how many times when people find out how much it will cost (to meet code), they abandon the project,” Asher said. He also asked Darrell Nichols if they had a business plan for the project, with Nichols responding that they don’t have one at this time. Nichols said he has some preliminary plans, but “a lot of this is contingent on what the council and the state will let us do.” Nichols said he has no plans to seek a liquor permit for the property. He also said they plan to only use the gymnasium for special events, not the entire building. He estimated the gym would accommodate about 150 people. As part of the project, amendments to the zoning code are being sought to allow private banquet/reception facilities in a B-1 local business district and as a conditional use in R-3 multifamily residential district.

In other financial areas, Watkins represented the financial reports for the month of March. Revenue for the district, he said, came within 1 percent of what had been forecast. Foundation money from the state, he said, was 2 percent behind what the district had received last year. The district received $76,000 in casino revenue, which had not been figured in the forecast. Expenditures, he said, were 3 percent less than had been forecast. The board approved a contract with the Montgomery County ESC to provide special education services for the fiscal year 2014 at an annual amount of $39,338. Watkins said this is for one student and that services the student needs are not available in the district. In other business, the board: • Accepted donations to the Board/Administration Scholarship Fund from Darrell Spangler, $200, and Diane Voress, $100. • Amended the employer STRS pickup contributions for the superintendent and administrators. The salary reduction pickup will be the current rate in effect less 4.5 percent. The pickup paid by the employer will be 4.5 percent. The total STRS Ohio contribution will be the current rate in effect. Watkins said the STRS rate will be increasing by 1 percent on July 1. • Approved an agree-

change in the definition of a private banquet/reception facility would delete the requirement that the owner/operator maintain an on-site residence. Concurring with a staff recommendation, the planning commission recommended to Sidney City Council that the zoning code amendments be approved. The issues are expected to go before Sidney City Council next month. After the meeting, the couple said while they plan to offer the former school for wedding receptions and banquets, they will gear use the facilities for children, too. “Most of the things we want to do are for the kids,” Darrell Nichols said, noting birthday parties and indoor soccer could be two possible uses. He said if council approves the rezoning and zoning code amendments, he will meet with an architect to make plans for the conversion of the old school and then seek a contractor to make the changes. He said they hope to get the project underway this summer.

Earth Day tips offered to save energy and money

COLUMBUS — In honor of Earth Day on Monday, Efficiency Smart offers the following tips to save energy and money on Earth Day, and beyond: • Replace incandescent lights with compact florescent lights (CFLs). CFLs last up to 10 times longer and use up to 75 percent less energy than incandescent light bulbs. • Turn off or unplug electric devices such as computers, power tools, cell phone chargers, digital cameras and small appliances when they are not in use. These items are often left on for extended periods of times but are used for a small percentage of that time. • Caulk around windows and door frames, use weather stripping on exterior doors, and have a professional seal any gaps where air can travel between the attic and your living ucts, and shows you approximately how space. much it will cost to use (based on the na• Prevent furniture, curtains and rugs tional average cost of electricity). from covering vents to assure that the sysMore money- and energy-saving tips can tem can move air effectively. be found on Efficiency Smart’s website.

Ohio has a long and illustrious history of involvement with the Olympic Games. It was the home, for instance, of the man many consider to be the greatest Olympian of all — track and field’s Jesse Owens. The “Buckeye Bullet” competed for The Ohio State University after completing his high school career at Cleveland East Tech. At OSU, Owens’ most notable achievement was setting or tying four world records in less than an hour during the 1935 Big Ten championships. That afternoon helped set the stage for the 1936 Olympics in Berlin, where Owens won four gold medals under the cloud of Nazi Germany. His victories in the 100- and 200-meter dashes, the long jump and the 4x100-meter relay were seen as a public humiliation of Nazi leader Adolf Hitler’s ideology. In the years following Owens’ triumph in Germany, a number of Ohio track and field athletes built upon his legacy. Another Clevelander, Harrison Dillard, won the 100 meters in 1948 in London, then followed that with a gold in the 110-meter hurdles four years later in Helsinki, Finland. He is still the only male Olympian to win both events. Dayton’s Edwin Moses brought home Olympic gold in 1976 and 1984 with triumphs in the 400-meter hurdles. Off the track, archer Darrell Pace of Cincinnati won golds in 1976 and 1984. In fact, he and Moses are the only two Americans to win events in each of those Olympiads. Because of the state’s lack of mountains and consistent snowfall, Ohioans haven’t done as well in the Winter Olympics. In 2002, though, Granville’s Lea Ann Parsley returned from Salt Lake City with a silver medal in skeleton, a sledding sport comparable to luge, that features speeds of up to 80 miles per hour. A fine overall athlete, Parsley happened upon skeleton while doing research online. Three years before winning her medal, she gave the sport a shot … and caught on quickly.

Words to Know: illustrious Olympian humiliation Nazi ideology legacy consistent luge For Discussion: 1. How did Jesse Owens humiliate Adolf Hitler and his beliefs? 2. Name one of the two Americans to win gold medals at the ’76 and ’84 Summer Olympics. What do the two men have in common? 3. Why do Ohioans do better in the Summer Olympics than in the Winter Olympics? 4. How did Lea Ann Parsley first find out about her sport of skeleton?

HOROSCOPE

SNUFFY SMITH

BY FRANCES DRAKE For Thursday, April 18, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) If shopping today, you’ll be tempted by elegant luxury. Don’t go into debt to the point that you later regret it. (Been there, done that, got the T-shirt.) TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Relations with others are warm and friendly today because you’re very sensitive to the vibes of others. You sense what others want and need, which helps you deal with them. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Solitude in beautiful surroundings will please you today. Give yourself a chance to relax with a little peace and quiet. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You’ll be pleased if you have an opportunity to work with groups for the benefit of those who are less fortunate than you. You’re sensitive to the suffering of others today. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) You might develop a crush on your boss today. In turn, others might look up to you for your compassionate viewpoint about something. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Because your appreciation of beauty is heightened, give yourself a chance to enjoy beautiful places. Visit art galleries, museums, gorgeous buildings or pristine nature. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) If sharing something with someone else today, don’t give away the farm. You feel sympathetic to the needs of others, but remember to have a healthy self-interest as well. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) This is a good day to patch up quarrels or riffs with others, because a sense of mutual sympathy exists. You care for the welfare of someone else, and vice versa. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) A co-worker might need a sympathetic ear today. Or perhaps someone will appeal to your good nature? (Never miss an opportunity to practice a kindness.) CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Because you’re in touch with your muse today, this is a great day to explore any creative activity. Enjoy music, arts and crafts, as well as sports and playful times with children. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) You’ll enjoy doing anything that makes where you live look more attractive. However, be careful when shopping for goodies at home, because you might go overboard. Ka-ching! PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Your imagination is aroused today, and it makes this an easy day to daydream and slip away into fantasies. Don’t worry; we all need days like this to keep our sanity. YOU BORN TODAY You are emotionally deep and have a kind of nobility about you. People are quick to respect you. In turn, you often are like a protector, defending the faith. You are aware of your public image and are careful about how you present yourself to others because you value their respect. Your coming year will be the beginning of a fresh new cycle. Open any door! Birthdate of Rick Moranis, actor; Conan O’Brien, TV host; Kourtney Kardashian, actress/businesswoman. (c) 2013 King Features Syndicate, Inc.

has been so tight for so long that the integrity of the skin is breaking down, and the lymph fluid is literally leaking through the skin. It’s not a lymph node that is leaking. A lymph node is a localized organ of the lymphatic system, where white blood cells congregate. In this case, the whole lymphatic system, which should be returning fluid to the circulation, isn’t working properly, so the fluid is backing up. I had one patient who literally lost liters of fluid from his legs. Unfortunately, many physicians are not so well-educated about lymphedema. Diuretics like furosemide can help for a day or two, but they are not effective in the long term. One effective treatment is manual lymphatic drainage (MLD). A trained therapist massages the affected limb to drain the fluid back into the circulation. Unfortunately, this generally

can’t be done with the skin so broken down, so frequent leg elevation (above the heart, at least three times a day for at least 30 minutes each time) may be necessary until the skin heals and MLD can start. Support stockings, effective for people with occasional leg swelling, are sometimes useful, especially if his are custom-fitted and -made. Your husband’s cancer doctor is more likely to have resources available to help than his cardiologist.

Any suggestions other than throwing her phone out the window? — ABANDONED HUSBAND IN UTAH DEAR ABANDONED: You say your wife has responded and things are hopeful. That means she is at least receptive to working on your marital relationship.

The problems that cellphones cause in relationships is something I am hearing about with increasing frequency. People have become so dependent upon their digital companions that in some cases it’s impossible to turn them off because people have become literally addicted.

In cases like this, a licensed therapist should be consulted. Of course, like any addiction the sufferer must be willing to admit there is a problem and want to do something about it. I wish there was a 12-step program to which I could refer you, but I was unable to locate one. In the future I’m willing

to bet that they’ll sprout up like mushrooms. Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Write Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

Although we love you dearly, We could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, Hard working hands put to rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us He only takes the best. Much loved and missed the past year by: Vicky, Travis, Rick, Brian, Kevin, Doug, Joe & Families

applicants,

Don’t grieve for me for now I’m free, I’m following the path God laid for me. I took his hand when I heard him call, I turned my back and left it all. I could not stay another day To laugh, to love, to work or play. Tasks left undone will stay that way, I found that peace at close of day. If my parting has left a void Then fill it will remembered joy A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss, Ah, yes, these things I, too, will miss. But not burdened with times of sorrow I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow. My life has been full, I’ve savored much. Good friends, good times, a loves ones touch. Perhaps my time seemed all too brief Don’t lengthen it now with the undue grief, Lift up your hearts and share with me, God wanted me now, He set me free.

Much loved and missed by, Steve, Rachel, Harold, Bailey and Fleurette 2385844

The scammer's check is and eventually fake bounces and the seller loses the wired amount.
