The U.S. economy is poised to accelerate, but headwinds from higher gas and oil prices are a concern, Dennis S. Walsh, president of Money Concepts International Inc., told listeners at Tuesday’s 2012 Economic Outlook luncheon. The 25th annual event, sponsored by Money Concepts, the Sidney-Shelby County YMCA and Sidney-Shelby Chamber of Commerce, drew nearly 300 people from business, industry and government agencies to the YMCA. “Growth outlook is better than 2011,” Walsh began his electronically enhanced presentation. “We’re cautiously optimistic, but employment gains are the key. Consumer confidence has been up the past three months and disposable income has increased. “Concerns, in addition to high gas and oil prices, are the winding down of U.S. fiscal stimulus, and slower emerging market growth. Benefits are becoming more expensive and salaries haven’t gone up. The good news is claims for jobless benefits are at the lowest rate since 2008 and the pace of layoffs is slowing.” Turning to real estate, Walsh said housing’s problem is supply and demand. “Even with foreclosures, and low interest rates, demand for older homes remains soft and tight lending standards are keeping market recovery on a slow track,” he said. Addressing the issue of debt, the speaker said federal spending has grown more than 10 times faster than median income. “Printing money is not a great strategy,” he said. “But the For photo reprints, visit www.sidneydailynews.com SDN Photo/Luke Gronneberg biggest danger now is European debt.” DENNIS WALSH, of Palm Beach Gardens, Fla., president and He predicted Greece will leave the Euro group within two CEO of Money Concepts International Inc., speaks during the years. 2012 Economic Outlook luncheon at the Sidney-Shelby See ECONOMY/Page 4A County YMCA Tuesday.
Fired deputy back City to purchase, as reserve officer sell land by airport BY JENNIFER BUMGARNER jbumgarner@sdnccg.com A former Shelby County Sheriff’s deputy who was fired is now back working for the county as a reserve officer. Jeff Gillman, of Sidney, was fired in 2008 by former Sheriff Doug Gillman Schlagetter for insubordination, failure of good behavior and violations to the Code of Ethics and Standard of Conduct. Gillman filed a federal lawsuit contesting his termination but it was thrown out by a judge. In a separate action, he filed a union grievance against Schlagetter through the police union but an arbitrator upheld his termination. He had previously been cited for insubordination in 2006 and reduced in rank from sergeant to deputy sheriff. Gillman was also involved in an incident in which the husband of a female co-worker was reportedly looking for him with a loaded shotgun, having discovered the two were having an affair. Gillman claimed the Sheriff’s Office placed him in danger by not notifying him
that the irate husband was looking for him. Additionally, he claimed his termination was related to his support of Dean Kimpel for sheriff. Kimpel ran against Schlagetter and won. Gillman is now working part time as a reserve deputy. Current Sheriff John Lenhart said Gillman works at the county courthouse two half days per week at $12 an hour. He receives no benefits. “I got some push back from a few people and I understand that,” said Lenhart. “He’s (Gillman) given me 100 percent, has done what I’ve asked, and is honest. I don’t have any issues with him.” The hiring is entirely Lenhart’s decision. “He’s an elected official and he can hire people within his budget,” County Auditor Dennis York said. “As an elected public official he’s entitled to hire as he sees fit.” When Lenhart took over as sheriff last fall, after Kimpel stepped down due to criminal charges being filed against him, Lenhart said there were “some things that I felt needed to be straightened out.” He said he recognizes that some people are unhappy with his decision but believes it is the right one for the county. “I respect their opinion,” said Lenhart. “But I believe it is in the best interest of the Sheriff’s Office.”
BY TOM BARNETT tbarnett@sdnccg.com Sidney City Council Monday night adopted ordinances authorizing the sale of 37.74 acres of land adjacent to Sidney Municipal Airport and the purchase of an 8.5-acre Sidney-Plattsville Road tract for an airport runway extension. The land offered for sale was originally purchased by the city to extend the airport’s southwest-northeast runway, a project that has since been abandoned on recommendation of the Federal Aviation Authority. The ordinance authorizes the city manager to advertise and conduct the sale as part of overall airport expansion plan. The sale process is to be accomplished by sealed bids and is contingent upon receipt of approval by the FAA. Purchase of the 8.5-acre tract at 15045 SidneyPlattsville Road is necessary for the airport’s current eastwest runway extension. The ordinance ratifies an agreement with Frederick C. Smith III LLC to purchase the property for $45,000. The acreage, situated in Orange Township, is part of a 60.4-acre parcel currently being used for agriculture. Council introduced an ordi-
nance authorizing street lighting assessments Monday. Current rates of 31 cents per front footage for standard lights and $1.11 per lineal foot for decorative street lighting will be continued for the next two years. The street lighting ordinance will receive a second reading and action at council’s May 14 meeting. A resolution authorizing dedication of a Russell Road right of way to create a future right-turn lane at Wapakoneta Avenue was adopted by council. The land being dedicated is adjacent to Parkwood School. The dedication has been approved by the Sidney City Board of Education and was endorsed by Sidney’s Planning Commission last week. Council also adopted resolutions continuing enterprise zone agreements for five local businesses and approving a replat of two lots on Summerfield Trail, north of Bridlewood Drive, to create one new lot. Continuing enterprise zone agreements were approved for Reliable Castings, NK Parts. ITW (Peerless) Zielsdorf, Hexa Americas and Energizer Personal Care/Clinton Reality.

Justice Department won’t reopen Kent St. shootings case
Parties face off in court over legislative maps BY JULIE CARR SMYTH Associated Press COLUMBUS (AP) — Justices asked tough questions of both sides Tuesday as they weighed a case that seeks to scrap Ohio’s newly drawn legislative map on the premise it was gerrymandered to favor Republicans. Lawyers sparring before the Ohio Supreme Court disagreed over the constitutionality of the new lines and the process by which they were drawn. The court must now make a ruling in the case, though it has said its decision will be timed not to impact the 2012 presidential race. Kevin Hamilton, representing Democrats who brought the challenge on behalf of a group of vot-
ers, said the five-member panel charged with drawing the new map intentionally sought political advantage as prohibited in the Constitution. That panel, the state Apportionment Board, is populated with four Republicans and one Democrat. “The record is rife with evidence that the board took into account political considerations, adding portion of counties that didn’t need to be split, for the purpose of assisting or increasing partisan advantage,” Hamilton told the court during oral arguments. E. Mark Braden, an attorney for the board’s Republican majority, said the state Constitution only asks that the board consider minimizing county, township, city
Page 4A
and precinct splits — but it doesn’t contain an absolute rule as in some other states, such as Pennsylvania. “Absolutely one has to look at keeping counties whole, but it’s only part of a mosaic of other provisions that one has to look at,” he told the court. The litigation says the maps of 99 House and 33 Senate districts split cities, counties and other community units more than 250 times, seeking political advantage for GOP candidates. Hamilton said more neutral maps were produced that split only 30, rather than 50 counties. Justice Judith Lanzinger questioned Hamilton’s position that Ohio’s Constitution was firmly against splitting communities.
CLEVELAND (AP) — The U.S. Justice Department won’t reopen its investigation into the deadly 1970 shootings by Ohio National Guardsmen during a Vietnam War protest at Kent State University. A letter from an assistant attorney general says there are multiple legal hurdles to further prosecuting the case. The letter was addressed to Alan Canfora, who requested that the investigation be reopened. He was among the wounded students and now directs the Kent May 4 Center. The letter says a government review was inconclusive in determining whether a newly enhanced audio recording of the shooting provided evidence of extra gunfire and someone ordering people to fire on students. Four Kent State students died, and nine were hurt. Canfora tells The Plain Dealer in Cleveland the government’s decision is disappointing but not surprising.
Panel accepts changes to exotic animal rules BY ANN SANNER Associated Press COLUMBUS (AP) — Animal owners in Ohio continued to urge state lawmakers Tuesday to scrap a proposal to regulate dangerous exotic wildlife in the state, even as an Ohio Senate panel made changes to the measure and was scheduled to possibly vote on it. About 30 opponents of the bill were slated to speak against the measure at a Tuesday hearing.
Others, including the Ohio Farm Bureau Federation, offered their support for the bill before the Senate agriculture committee. State Sen. Cliff Hite, chairman of the panel, said a committee vote on the measure is more likely on Wednesday although his goal is to get a vote by the full Senate this week. Ohio has some of the nation’s weakest restrictions on exotic pets. Efforts to strengthen the regulations took on new

Keifer said Sidney has about 400 street ash trees, which are being removed as funding permits. He also reported a new threat to street trees, the Asian long-horned beetle. Tree removal costs to date total $7,875 and $2,555 has been spent for tree purchase and planting. A total of $11,590 has been charged to grant funding, of which $5,795 has been received

changes to the bill that would allow owners to obtain surety bonds in lieu of obtaining liability insurance to give more options to individuals. A revision also would allow the director of the Ohio Department of Agriculture to issue a temporary waiver to owners who are
trying to get accreditation to obtain a permit. Additional changes also eased proposed rules for snakes, such as exempting constrictors that less than 12 feet long, and owners of constricting snakes wouldn’t have to obtain liability insurance.
Shelby County Department of Job & Family Services Purpose Foster care provides a temporary home for children during times when they are unable to remain with their birth families and there are no available or appropriate relatives. Adoption provides a permanent family for children who are unable to return to their birth family.
Mission The foster care and adoption programs strive to find appropriate placements for children based on their physical, cognitive, social and emotional needs.
Adoption and Foster Unit Foster and adoptive caregivers complete Pre-service training and participate in a homestudy process in order to become a licensed provider. Foster and adoptive caregivers can be of any marital status, any level of education, and renters or homeowners. Caregivers must have a sufficient and stable income and be at least 18 to adopt and 21 to foster. Foster care provides a temporary home with the goal of reunification with the birth family. Adoption provides a permanent home and a lifelong commitment to a child. There are many foster to adopt families who start the process as foster parents, but end up adopting children if they become legally available for adoption. Our agency is currently recruiting foster and adoptive homes, specifically for older children, sibling groups, and children with special needs.
From Page 1 He also observed, “The Internet has democratized information in a way that hasn’t happened since the invention of the printing press.” The speaker was introduced by Sarah Boyer of Money Concepts of Sidney and Kurt Barhorst, president of the Sidney-Shelby County YMCA Board of Directors.

Hudson leaves courtroom CHICAGO (AP) — The trial of the man charged with murdering three of Jennifer Hudson’s family members resumed Tuesday with the Oscar-winner shutting her eyes as a police officer described finding her dead family members and later leaving the courtroom before photos of their bodies were shown. Hudson watched much of the testimony before getting up and leaving shortly before prosecutors displayed pictures of her mother and brother’s bloodied bodies. Prosecutors often let family members know when they will be showing unsettling evidence.
Consumers remain confident NEW YORK (AP) — Americans’ confidence in the economy was resilient in April despite rising job cuts and falling home values. The Conference Board, a private research group, said on Tuesday that its Consumer Confidence Index is at 69.2, down slightly from a revised 69.5 in March. Economists were expecting a reading of 70, according to a FactSet poll of analysts. The current level is below February’s 71.6, which is the highest level it has been in about a year. Consumer confidence is widely watched because consumer spending accounts for 70 percent of economic activity. The current level is significantly below the 90 reading that indicates a healthy economy. But it’s well above its alltime low of 25.3 in February 2009.
Witnesses testify OSLO, Norway (AP) — After testifying for five days, Anders Behring Breivik listened silently as others described the mayhem caused by his bombing of Oslo’s government district, a scene one witness described as a “war zone.” Forensic experts explained the massive injuries to four of the eight victims killed by the 950kilogram (2,100-pound) fertilizer bomb on July 22. Breivik admits to the bombing and a subsequent shooting massacre at a Labor Party youth camp that left 69 people dead, most of them teenagers. “More than 100 body parts were found in the government district,” said Ole Morten Stoerseth, a police official tasked with identifying the blast victims.

PRESIDENT BARACK Obama acknowledges the crowd as he finishes his speech on the campus of University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill, N.C., Tuesday. Obama told thousands of students at the University of North Carolina on Tuesday that he wants Congress to keep the costs of a college education in check, reaching out to young people in a state expected to figure heavily in his re-election bid.
Obama pushes low-rate student loans CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (AP) — President Barack Obama went after the college vote Tuesday, pitching cheaper student loans as he courted the one age group where he has a decided advantage over Republican rival Mitt Romney. The twist? Romney, too, has endorsed the idea, though it’s unclear whether deficit-leery Republicans in Congress will go along. In the race for the White House, both the Obama and Romney campaigns see huge opportunities to court younger voters. This week, their efforts are focused on the millions of students — and their parents — who are grappling with college costs at a time when such debt has grown so staggering it exceeds the totals for credit cards or auto loans. Trying to make it personal, Obama told students at the University of North Carolina that he and first lady Michelle Obama had “been in your
shoes” and didn’t pay off their student loans until eight years ago. “I didn’t just read about this. I didn’t just get some talking points about this. I didn’t just get a policy briefing on this,” Obama said. “We didn’t come from wealthy families. When we graduated from college and law school, we had a mountain of debt. When we married, we got poor together.” Obama’s emphasis on his personal experience set up a contrast with Romney, whose father was a wealthy auto executive. It’s a point the president is sure to return to during this summer’s campaigning. Though both Obama and Romney have expressed support for freezing the current interest rates on the loans for poorer and middle-class students, lawmakers are still exploring ways to pay for the plan. The timing is important because the rate will double
from 3.4 percent to 6.8 percent on July 1 without intervention by Congress, an expiration date chosen in 2007 when a Democratic Congress voted to chop the rate in half. The Federal Reserve Bank of New York has estimated about 15 percent of Americans, or 37 million people, have outstanding student loan debt. The bank puts the total at $870 billion, though other estimates have reached $1 trillion. About two-thirds of student loan debt is held by people under 30. The loan rate freeze Obama and Romney are championing amounts to a one-year, election-year fix at a cost of roughly $6 billion. Congress seems headed that way. Members of both parties are assessing ways to cover the costs and then gain the votes in the House and Senate. Both parties have a political incentive to keep the rates as they are.
Ex-BP engineer arrested NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Federal prosecutors brought the first criminal charges Tuesday in the Gulf oil spill, accusing a former BP (TSX:BP’U) engineer of deleting more than 300 text messages that indicated the blownout well was spewing far more crude than the company was telling the public at the time. Two years and four days after the drillingrig explosion that set off the worst offshore oil spill in U.S. history, Kurt Mix, 50, of Katy, Texas, was arrested and charged with two counts of obstruction of justice for allegedly destroying evidence. The U.S. Justice Department made it clear that the investigation is still going on and suggested that more people could be arrested. In a statement, Attorney General Eric Holder said prosecutors “will hold accountable those who violated the law in connection with the largest environmental disaster in U.S. history.” Federal investigators have been looking into the causes of the blowout and the actions of managers, engineers and rig workers at BP and its subcontractors Halliburton (NYSE:HAL) and Transocean in the days and hours before the April 20, 2010, explosion.
But the case against Mix focuses only on the aftermath of the blast, when BP scrambled for weeks to plug the leak. Even then, the charges are not really about the disaster itself, but about an alleged attempt to thwart the investigation into it. In court papers, the FBI said one of the areas under investigation is whether the oil company intentionally lowballed the amount of crude spewing from the well. In outlining the charges, the government suggested Mix knew the rate of flow from the busted well was much greater than the company publicly acknowledged. Prosecutors also said BP gave the public an optimistic account of its May 2010 efforts to plug the well via a technique called a “top kill,” even though the company’s internal data and some of the text messages showed the operation was likely to fail. An accurate flow-rate estimate is necessary to determine how much in penalties BP and its subcontractors could face under the Clean Water Act. In court papers, prosecutors appeared to suggest the company was also worried about the effect of the disaster on its stock price.
OUT OF THE BLUE
Meow is one fat cat ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — Meow can’t help but waddle. He’s one super-sized cat. The 2-year-old orange and white tabby tips the scale at nearly 40 pounds, and the Santa Fe Animal Shelter is on a mission to get the feline back into shape. Meow’s 87-year-old owner could no longer take care of him, so the pet was turned over to a shelter in southeastern New Mexico that called the Santa Fe shelter for help. “The thing with this cat is when you look at it, certainly it’s obese. You see that. But it’s a sweet looking cat. His face is very sweet. It’s just incredibly fat,” shelter spokesman Ben Swan said Friday.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Mitt Romney laid claim to a fiercely contested Republican presidential nomination Tuesday night with a fistful of primary triumphs, then urged all who struggle in a shaky U.S. economy to “hold on a little longer, a better America begins tonight.” Eager to turn the political page to the general election, Romney accused President Barack Obama of “false promises and weak leadership.” He said, “Everywhere I go, Americans are tired of being tired, and many of those who are fortunate enough to have a job are working harder for less.” The former Massachusetts governor spoke as he pocketed primary victories in Connecticut, Rhode Island, Delaware and Pennsylvania in the first contests since Rick Santorum conceded the nomination. New York was expected to follow. He delivered his remarks to a national television audience from New Hampshire, the state where he won his first primary of the campaign and one of about a dozen states expected to be battlegrounds in the summer and fall campaign for the White House. Six months before the election, opinion polls show the economy to be the top issue by far in the race. The same surveys point toward a close contest, with several suggesting a modest advantage for the incumbent. Obama won the presidency in 2008 in the midst of the worst recession since the Great Depression, and since then economic growth has rebounded slowly and joblessness has receded gradually while housing prices have continued to drop in many areas of the country. In an indication that Romney was treating the moment as something of an opening of the general election campaign, his speech seemed aimed at the millions of voters — non-conservatives and others — who have yet to pay close attention to the race for the White House. He blended biographical details, an attack on Obama and the promise of a better future, leaving behind his struggle to reassure conservative voters who have been reluctant to swing behind his candidacy. “As I look around at the millions of Americans without work, the graduates who can’t get a job, the soldiers who return home to an unemployment line, it breaks my heart,” he said. “This does not have to be. It is the result of failed leadership and of a faulty vision.” Romney spoke dismissively of the president’s tenure in office. “Government is at the center of his vision. It dispenses the benefits, borrows what it cannot take and consumes a greater and greater share of the economy,” he said.
Envoy: Syria situtation ‘bleak’ UNITED NATIONS (AP) — International envoy Kofi Annan told the U.N. Security Council Thursday that the situation in Syria is “bleak” and expressed alarm at reports that government troops are still carrying out military operations in towns where U.N. observers are not present. He expressed particular concern at media reports that government troops entered the central city of Hama on Monday after U.N. observers departed, firing automatic weapons and killing a significant number of people. “If confirmed, this is totally unacceptable and reprehensible,” he said. The joint U.N.-Arab League envoy said the speedy deployment of the 300strong U.N. observer force authorized by the council on Saturday is “crucial” to verify what is happening on the ground. The observer force also would provide a basis for moving toward a cease-fire by the government and opposition, he said. Annan briefed the Security Council
by videoconference hours after his spokesman, Ahmad Fawzi, told U.N. Television in Geneva that satellite imagery and other credible reports show that, despite its claims, Syria has failed to withdraw all of its heavy weapons from populated areas as required by the cease-fire deal it accepted. Fawzi also cited credible reports that “people who approach the observers may be approached by security forces or Syrian army and harassed or arrested or even worse, perhaps killed.” Annan did not mention either the satellite photos or the harassment and possible killing of people who talked to the observers in the text of his closed briefing, which was obtained by The Associated Press, but he stressed that “the government cannot cease action in one area to resume it in another.” He told the council the Syrian government had informed him on April 21 of the withdrawal of troops and heavy equipment from populated areas and
the handover of responsibility to police for maintaining law and order. He said he replied that this means troops should be back in barracks and weapons in storage “rather than operationally deployed,” and that civilians should not be endangered by police actions. The called the government’s pledge “encouraging,” but added: “It should be understood that the only promises that count are the promises that are kept.” Annan echoed U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, who called the current situation “unacceptable” and urged the Syrian government to immediately implement his six-point peace-plan, which would culminate with Syrian-led talks that led to a peace settlement. “A cessation of violence and action on the six points is vital to sustain a political process,” said Annan. “Equally, a credible political process is required if we are to sustain any long-term calm on the ground.”

Anna Education Foundation honors leaders, alums, students at banquet ANNA — The Anna Education Foundation honored two alumni, presented two leadership awards and awarded scholarships to 19 students during its annual banquet Thursday at the Shelby Oaks Club. Motivational comedian Ralph Hood provided entertainment. Bill Elsass received the Adult McRill Leadership Award for his long-time dedication and support of school activities. The Student McRill Leadership Award went to Erik Angus, son of Doug and Kim Grewe and Chuck and Mindy Angus. Warren W.

Loy lived all of his youth years in the Kettlersville area before entering the Army Air Force in January 1943. He had special training during his military service at the University of Iowa and Harvard University. After his military discharge in February 1946, he continued his education at the Northwestern
School of Commerce. Loy spent his entire career working for Provico. He was active on the American Feed Mfg. board, the Elevators Mutual Insurance Company board, and the Ohio Grain & Feed Education Committee. He retired June 30, 1989, as president of Provico and retired from its chairman of the board on Sept. 30, 1996. Loy was also very active in his community. He lived in Botkins for 35 years before moving to Indian Lake in 1984. He served on the Botkins Town Council as well as the Botkins Area Community Club. He extended his service into other areas by serving on the Wilson Memorial Hospital board and the Citizens Baughman National Bank board. He was married Sept. 21, 1947, to his wife, Jeanne Ferguson. They are the parents of five children and have nine grandchildren, and three great-grandchildren. They are members of the Evangelical and Re-
form Church in Kettlersville. Scheeringa received her Bachelor of Science in nursing at University of St. Francis in Fort Wayne, Ind., in 1992 and her Master of Science Nursing in child/adolescent psychiatric clinical nurse specialist in 2008 from the Indiana University School of Nursing. Her nursing career began at the Upper Valley Medical Center in Piqua in 1989. She moved to Fort Wayne to work at the Lutheran Hospital of Indiana in 1990. She became charge nurse in 1995. In 2008, she became a private practice clinical nurse specialist at the Indiana Health Group in Carmel, Ind. Currently, Scheeringa is at the Northeastern Center in Kendallville, Ind., as a community mental health clinical nurse specialist. She belongs to several professional nursing organizations and has served as secretary, team leader, and unit presenter. Her most recent presentation was for the Northeastern Center on “The Interface Between Med-
ical and Psychiatric Illness.” She served as the alternate standard setting panelist for the ANCC CNS in child/adolescent psych and mental health nursing examination. She and her husband, Dan have been married 21 years and have two children.

payer information by tax-return preparers. Next, and perhaps most importantly, this bill would expedite tax returns for Ohioans whose identities have been stolen. Innocent Ohioans should not be doubly punished — having their identity stolen and their tax return delayed. Instead, this bill would give all identity-theft victims a unique personal identification number to include on their tax return to further prevent fraud and avoid tax-refund delays. Honest citizens should not have to wait months and months to get the money they’ve earned. Ohioans making less than the average gross income of $32,393 simply cannot afford to go without a refund — or wait longer than usual to receive a refund because a crime has been committed against them. Finally, this legislation would require the IRS, Bureau of Prisons and the Treasury Department to step up identity-theft taxfraud-prevention programs. We can do a better job of informing citizens how to keep their information safe. The IRS can do its part to protect taxpayer information by providing an annual report on the number of reported taxfraud cases and the actions taken in responses to these reports. The IRS and Bureau of Prisons can work together to reduce
prison-tax fraud. And the Secretary of the Treasury should have the authority to implement an identity-theft tax-fraud-prevention program to empower citizens. If this law had been in place when Michael realized he couldn’t access his tax refund, then he may not have had to mail the IRS a copy of his Social Security card, driver’s license, passport, utility bill and a copy of the police incident report — just to get the refund he deserved. Until we pass this legislation, Ohio taxpayers can help prevent fraud by taking a few extra steps: 1) Don’t carry your Social Security card or any document with your Social Security number. 2) Avoid sharing your Social Security number and other personal information — especially over the telephone, Internet or mail. 3) Check your credit report each year. Ohioans who suspect identity theft can contact local law enforcement officials or the IRS Identity Projection Specialized Unit at (800) 908-4490. With this legislation, we can protect taxpayers’ privacy and keep citizens safe. Ohio taxpayers, like Michael, deserve a government that fights to make sure citizens don’t fall prey to identity theft and tax fraud.
Better health care plan means better rewards for budget, patients
E
we can see how it works and collect data and information to determine whether it’s sound and should be expanded as a way to help fix Medicare. There’s already evidence that Better Health Rewards will pay off. The Cleveland Clinic has a strong history of leadership on employee wellness. Their Wellness Institute brings in businesses from around the Cleveland area, helping those businesses set up wellness programs for their employees, so the businesses can see savings and healthier employees. It’s a twofer. Two years ago, the Cleveland Clinic saw that their own health care costs, around $300 million annually, continued to escalate despite the steps they’d taken to encourage their own employees to lead healthier lives. To tackle this problem, they decided to incentivize employees with chronic diseases to enter into disease management. The incentive they chose was a refund of the employee’s annual health care premium increase. Fast forward two years. The program has been highly successful, saving the Cleveland Clinic $15 million in 2011 and lowering hospital admissions for the participating employees. As Dr. Toby Cosgrove, the president and CEO, said on March 28
when he and chief wellness officer Dr. Mike Roizen came to Washington for our unveiling of Better Health Rewards, “for the first time we began to change the slope of the inflation of our health care costs.” But it’s not just about costs; it’s also about healthier, happier employees. Added Dr. Cosgrove, who says he’s regularly thanked by employees who’ve benefited from the program: “It has been probably one of the most gratifying things we’ve done, both from the standpoint of the health of the individuals, and also from the fact that we have wound up saving money from it.” The Cleveland Clinic is not the only Ohio advocate for the Better Health Rewards legislation. The Ohio Department of Health supports this bill. Its director, Dr. Theodore E. Wymyslo, said, “under this model, everyone wins.” Sen. Wyden and I and others are working on larger structural proposals to fix Medicare. But that should not keep us from implementing sensible programs that can help get to a more comprehensive solution. Promoting wellness and saving taxpayer dollars is a twofer Washington should get behind. Our Better Health Rewards legislation is the right start.

WALLACE: I am a 19-year-old female engineering student at the University of Southern California. I am attractive, have a nice shape, have a good sense of humor and get good grades. My problem is that guys ignore me. I’m friendly and converse a lot with my classmates (most of them are males), but they only seem to view me as an acquaintance. Do you think that I’m doing something wrong? Why aren’t any of these guys interested in me? I hesitate to believe they all resent me for being a woman in a predominantly male field because I had the same problem in high school. — Angela, Anaheim, Calif. ANGELA: There is a reason why you remain dateless, and it’s your responsibility to find the reason. Be a little as-
sertive! Select a “friendly” male classmate and tell him your problem. Ask him to honestly evaluate you, “no holds barred.” If this “friend” cannot find a reason why you are dateless, it could be because you appear to be “too good to be true.” Many males are actually afraid to date females they consider to be extremely beautiful. They are afraid they will be rejected if they ask for a date, so they don’t ask. In that case, it will be up to you to do the asking, and trust me, when you ask, your dateless days will be history.

Take back drugs day set for Saturday ST MARYS — Joint Township District Memorial Hospital, in conjunction with the Auglaize County Sheriff ’s Office is participating in 2012 National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day taking back unwanted prescription drugs. This event will be held on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Joint Township District Memorial Hospital and the Auglaize County Sheriff ’s Office will give the public another opportunity to prevent drug abuse and theft by ridding their homes of potentially dangerous expired, unused, and unwanted prescription drugs.

Items for disposal cannot be accepted before or after these times Why Have a Medication Take Back Day? Such an event helps address two growing problems our communities face. Prescription drug abuse and prescription drug misuse and medications becoming part of our waste stream. Consider this: • Everyday, nearly 2,500 teenagers use a prescription drug to get high for the first time. • 96 percent of unintentional
poisoning deaths in Ohio are from drugs and medications. • In Ohio, more people die from unintentional medication poisoning, than from motor vehicle accidents. • Older people are prone to accidental poisoning. • Ohio’s rates of drug abuse and misuse are higher than the U.S. rate. • A vast array of pharmaceuticals - inclusive of antibiotics, anticonvulsants, mood stabilizers, hormones, acetaminophen, ibuprofen — have been found in drinking water supplies of at least 41 million Americans. • Pharmaceuticals also permeate underground water supply.
Beginning June 1, residents of Sidney will be able to add corrugated cardboard to the curbside recycling program as a result of a new city waste and recycling contract. Currently, residents can recycle newspapers, tin and aluminum cans, plastic bottles and glass bottles and jars. By volume, corrugated cardboard is the largest and bulkiest item in trash. (Corrugated cardboard is a three-layer cardboard that has a wafer-looking middle between its outside and inside layer). It is most commonly used in packing
or shipping boxes. To properly recycle corrugated cardboard, residents are asked to note the following guidelines: • Remove all packaging material and plastic wrap and flatten completely at seams, removing any tape. • Place nothing larger than the recycling bin of approximately 2 by 2 feet. • Bundle cardboard separately from other material. Do not recycle pizza boxes or any other box that has grease soaked in. Questions concerning the new service may be addressed to 498-8117.

Schwieterman helps at My Brother’s Keeper MARIA STEIN — Kayla Schwieterman, a sophomore from Maria Stein, traveled to Baltimore with fellow Marquette University students over spring break as a part of the Marquette Action Program (MAP). During the weeklong service trip, Schwieterman’s group volunteered at My Brother’s Keeper. Since 1977, MAP has offered students the chance to work and interact with people all over the United States.
Sponsored by Marquette’s Campus Ministry, the trips expose students to aspects of poverty, racism and the lives of the disabled in today’s society. Depending on the site, students may be doing anything from assisting in classrooms to preparing meals at homeless shelters to repairing houses devastated by storms. This year, over 180 Marquette volunteers traveled to 21 different sites in 14 different states.

Downtown Association plans floral displays During last week’s Downtown Business Association meeting, Duane Gaier of the city of Sidney discussed downtown waste collections and scheduled collection dates. He said pickups should be made twice per week and referred service problems to Karen Berning, 4988118. Merchants again discussed placing flowers downtown around the courtsquare. Letters will be sent local businesses to ask for sponsorships. The DBA and city have agreed pots with flowers
will be the best solution and that it will be up to volunteers from DBA to plant, water and maintain flowers. Maureen Smelewski, director, reported meeting with City Manager Mark Cundiff concerning enforcement of twohour parking downtown. The city will be patrolling areas on a regular basis. Businesses’ cards listing store hours and locations will soon be made available. Each business interested in participating is asked to provide their information and
business logos to the DBA director. Mother’s Day promotion registration boxes are being delivered and registration forms for Kids Around the Square on June 23 are being made available. Easter Coloring Contest winning entries are being displayed in a window at Fifth Third bank. The contest received 330 entries.

Child support information now available online COLUMBUS — The Ohio Department of Job and Family Services (ODJFS) has announced a new website that will give families 24-hour access to their child support case information online, so they can look up information about their cases themselves, without having to call or visit a local office. “Our new Child Support Customer Service Web Portal gives families a quick, easy and secure way to find out information about their cases, and it also will help reduce administrative work at our county offices,” said
2012 Shelby S Cou County unty unty y Health & Awareness Awareneess Fair
ODJFS Director Michael Colbert. “We are extremely excited to be able to offer this service, and think families will find it to be very helpful.” The portal allows families to access their recent payment activity, as well as their payment information for the previous two years. It also provides a link to frequently asked questions about Ohio’s child support program, such as how to establish paternity, how to establish a child support order, and options for making and receiving payments. Future enhancements to the site will provide a
way for families to communicate directly with their county child support enforcement agencies, and also a way for them to apply for services online, such as paternity establishment, support enforcement, or a request for a review and adjustment of a child support order. In Ohio, child support orders can be reviewed and possibly adjusted every 36 months. The amount owed could be reduced if the parent responsible for paying it becomes unemployed through no fault of his or her own for at least 30
days or experiences a 30 percent reduction in gross income. For more information about Ohio’s child support program or to access the new Child Support Customer Service Web Portal, visit www.jfs.ohio.gov/ocs or call or visit your county child support enforcement agency (CSEA). To find your local CSEA, go t o http://jfs.ohio.gov/county/ County_Directory.pdf. The ODJFS Office of Child Support collects and disburses nearly $2 billion annually to more than 1 million Ohio children.

Life goes on for Botkins family after autism diagnosis BY JENNIFER BUMGARNER jbumgarner@sdnccg.com BOTKINS — There are four words that a parent never wants to hear, “Your child has autism.” April is National Autism Awareness Month and for one family in Botkins, autism touched their lives and changed their outlook on everything. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, one in 88 children and one in 54 boys are affected by autism. There are over one million children in the United States who are directly affected by autism. The annual cost is estimated to be $126 billion which is more than three times the cost from six years ago. Recent research from Dr. Peter Bearman of Columbia University revealed that the increase is only partly explained by a broadening of the diagnosis, improved detection and more awareness. There is still a lot that is unexplained by the increase and researchers are looking into environmental factors which could play a role in the increase of cases. In 1999 the figure was one out of every 500 children. There is no definite cause and no cure for autism and families across the country are struggling to help their children. Jeanie and Ron Bergman, of Botkins, were faced with this problem 12 years ago when their son, Chad had started behaving differently. “For the first year of Chad’s life he could say momma, dada, baby, oof oof (for dog), his sister’s name Casie and ball,” said Jeanie. “Somewhere between December of 1998 and June of 1999, he became very distant from us.” He started throwing temper tantrums, wouldn’t let anyone touch him and stopped talking. His father, Ron, is a truck driver and Chad started to withdraw from him. “Ron would come home from a run and Chad wouldn’t even look at him or acknowledge his presence,” said Jeanie. “Ron could not even hold Chad.” The family started consulting doctors and took Chad to a hearing specialist.

TWELVE YEARS ago the thought of Chad (left) sitting and laughing with his little brother Luke seemed like a dream to parents Ron and Jeanie Bergman. He passed the hearing test and was referred to Children’s Hospital in Dayton. There was a six-month wait to see the specialist in Dayton. “In the mean time, I was still in denial that nothing was wrong with our child,” said Jeanie. “He was just acting out in jealousy because of the birth of his little brother Luke in May of 1999.” Ron has three children from a previous marriage, Leslie, Brad and Brent, and the couple has four children together, Casie, Chad, Luke and Sarah. None of their other children had any kind of health problem like autism, and it was difficult for Jeanie and Ron to understand just what was wrong with their child. When Jeanie finally met with Dr. Duby in Dayton, she was surprised at what happened during the visit. The doctor asked her questions about her son’s behavior and social skills. One of the questions was if Chad flapped his hands up and down. What Jeanie thought was a personal habit was actually something very common that children with autism will do to calm themselves down or when they get excited. After more testing, it was determined that the toddler had a mild case of autism. While it was difficult to hear the word autism, the word mild gave the family hope that their child would be able to live a relatively normal life. The family was then referred to the local intervention program at Shelby Hills.
Kindergarten screening set for May 3 & 4 HOUSTON — Kindergarten screening is scheduled for children planning to attend Hardin-Houston for the 2012-13 school year. Children who will be 5 years old on or before Aug. 1 will be eligible for kindergarten Parents are asked to contact the school at 295-3010 to schedule a screening appointment as soon as possible. Screening will be held on May 3 and 4, at 8 a.m., 10 a.m., and 1 p.m. Parents will need to pick up a registration packet from the Elementary School Office, which will need to be filled out and brought back on the day of screening. During registration, children will have an opportunity to meet the kindergarten teachers as well as participate in screening for speech, hearing, vision and developmental readiness skills. While children are being screened, parents will have a chance to meet with the principal,
kindergarten teachers and school nurse. Along with the registration packet, parents need to bring a certified copy of the child’s birth certificate or other legal document verifying date of birth, immunization records, copy of legal documents, if custody is involved, and the child’s Social Security number. Parents who have younger children are encouraged to find a sitter during the appointment as parents will be listening to presentations, filling out paperwork, and talking with health nurses during the child’s assessment. Parents should be aware of legislation which mandates attendance in and successful completion of kindergarten before a child enters first grade. This law underscores the importance of children being ready for kindergarten before they enroll. Parents who have a concern about their child’s readiness should contact the building principal.
Jeanie believes that when Chad started to attend Shelby Hills it was one of the things that contributed to Chad coming out of autism. “Chad started there the same month he was diagnosed, March of 2000,” said Jeanie. “Shelby Hills and their staff helped bring Chad back to us. They taught him sign language so he could at least communicate to us until he learned to talk again. They did wonders with him. We owe them a lot.” Jeanie went to the school with her son once a week and observed the class. She tried to get Chad involved but the teacher told her “Don’t worry. He’ll come around.” After a few weeks the teacher was right and Chad started slowly joining the class during circle time and later would sit and listen to a whole book. By June of 2000 Chad was communicating with his mother through sign language. His first words to her were following the Botkins Carousel when they were leaving. Chad signed the word “more” to her. Like other parents facing this life-changing diagnosis, the Bergmans started to research different ways to help their son. The Bergmans believe immunizations given to Chad may have been a contributing factor, and the family sought out an herbalist to help counteract some of the effects of the shots. They also tried a gluten-free diet which is suggested for children with autism. She went to a health food store and purchased special foods for Chad. “I bought him cookies that were made with no flour and were suppose to be good for you,” said Jeanie. “I remember saying ‘Chad I bought you some cookies and these are all yours. The other kids can’t have them.’ Chad took a
bite from a cookie, turned around and headed for the bathroom door and threw the cookie in the bathroom and shut the door behind it.” The Bergmans starting speaking with other families who had children with autism, even attending a few Autism Support Group meetings. Jeanie would work with Chad on Applied Behavior Analysis. ABA is where a picture of an object like a duck would be shown to a child and the child would then pick up the object on the table that matched the picture. According to Jeanie, Chad was able to do this without hesitation which was a good sign. While things continued to improve, the Bergmans turned to their faith to help get through the diagnosis. “Ron’s sister Betty gave Chad a St. Jude necklace that her coworker Bob Wyen had bought,” said Jeanie. “He buys these necklaces whenever he hears of someone in need of a miracle or prayer.” The necklace hung on Chad’s bed post for three years and was still hanging there when Chad no longer needed his Individualized Education Plan at the school. The family also turned to prayer, taking Chad to healing masses at their church. “We took him to two healing masses offered in our church, two years in a row,” said Jeanie. “These healing masses were offered by Father James Trick and consisted on praying strictly for healing…We attribute God as the No. 1 factor that brought Chad back to us.” By the time Chad exited Shelby Hills and began kindergarten at Botkins, he no longer had any symptoms of autism. In his first year at Botkins, the transition coordinator from Shelby Hills visited the school to check on Chad’s progress. She was unfamiliar with Chad and the kindergarten teacher LuAnne Powell told the coordinator to observe the class and pick out the child with autism. After observing the class she was unable to figure out which child was Chad. Chad is now a healthy, active, normal 14-year-old. He’s active in basketball and baseball. He ran cross country, track and also played soccer. While his mother can’t stop talking about her “miracle child,” Chad is very modest about his past. “I don’t really remember a lot,” said Chad. “It’s shocking to me, like why would I ever do that.”

Road rage believed involved in crash
A Monday afternoon accident reportedly involving road rage sent a Piqua man to the hospital. The accident happened at 4:16 p.m. near the 97mile marker of southbound Interstate 75. William Daugherty, 42, of Piqua, was traveling southbound on I-75 in the left hand lane. According to eyewitnesses, there was a red vehicle behind him but no one was able to get a license plate num-
ber or make and model of the vehicle. That vehicle reportedly passed him and cut in front of him in the left lane and apparently hit his brakes, causing Daugherty to hit his brakes to try to avoid collision. Daugherty lost control and went off the left side of the road, went back across the roadway and went off the right of the road. His vehicle then rolled over and came to a stop. Daugherty had minor
injuries and was transported to Wilson Memorial Hospital by Anna Rescue. Anna fire and police were also on the scene to assist. The Ohio State Highway Patrol handled the accident. Eyewitnesses told troopers that the red vehicle had no reason to brake after passing Daugherty. It is believed road rage played a role in the accident. Daugherty was not cited for the accident.

Minster went down 1-2-3 in the 14th and 15th innings, and Coldwater finally broke through in the 15th to win it. “We had opportunities,” said Wiss. “We had runners on third several times. It was a great game to be part of.” The Wildcats have a tough schedule coming up, playing at Lima Bath Tursday, then hosting Versailles on Friday in league play.

Reds whip Giants 9-2 CINCINNATI — The Cincinnati Reds rolled to a 9-2 victory Tuesday night at Great American Ball Park, beating the San Franciso Giants. The big inning came in the seventh, when the Reds batted around and scored six times. Matt Latos was looking for
his first win of the season and pitched well enough to get it, allowing just four hits over seven innings, and striking out three. The Reds jumped on Giants’ starter Matt Cain for two in the first when Brandon Phillips belted a two-run homer, scoring Drew Stubbs
ahead of him. It stayed that way until the Reds broke out in the seventh. Ryan Ludwick started it with a solo homer. Phillips coaxed a bases loaded walk for the second run, then came back-to-back two-run doubles by Jay Bruce and Scott Rolen, making it 8-0.
Bengals: lot of chances to fill holes Two picks in first round of draft, which begins on Thursday CINCINNATI (AP) — Andy Dalton will be curious to see where the college quarterbacks land in the NFL draft this week, bringing back memories of how he went through the process a year ago before landing in Cincinnati in the second round. The receivers? Now, there’s a position that’s really got his attention. The Bengals still need help at receiver as they head into a draft that gives them a lot of options. They have two picks in the first round on Thursday, the 17th and 21st overall, and three in the fifth round on Saturday. There are other holes to fill. They could use an offensive guard and a cornerback, and might be in the market for a running back,
but none stands out more starkly than getting someone to catch the ball. Dalton and A.J. Green led the Bengals to the playoffs as rookies last season and made the Pro Bowl, but know they need help to pull off a postseason encore. There’s no other wide receiver on the roster who can take the pressure off Green. There are some available in the draft, though. Asked if he’s ruminating about college receivers wearing Bengal-striped helmets next season, Dalton gave an approving laugh. “Hah-hah, I think there’s a couple of guys out there that are pretty good,” Dalton said. “But, we’ll see.” The Bengals (9-8) reached the playoffs last season for only
the third time since 1990, getting a wild card that was partly a product of their favorable schedule. They lost to Houston in the opening round, leaving them 0-3 in the postseason since 1990. The emergence of Green and Dalton gave them something to build around. They got the extra firstround pick as part of the deal that sent quarterback Carson Palmer to Oakland during the season, a trade that didn’t help the Raiders as much as they would have liked. They could start up front with the offensive line. Nate Livings, who started at left guard each of the last two seasons, went to Dallas as a free agent. Right guard Bobbie Williams broke his right ankle in December. Williams
is an unrestricted free agent and turns 36 in September. They also need a cornerback. Leon Hall is recovering from a torn Achilles tendon. Nate Clements turns 33 during the season. The Bengals signed Terence Newman, who struggled in coverage with Dallas last season and turns 34 during the season. The running back position opened when the Bengals allowed Cedric Benson to leave as a free agent. They signed BenJarvus Green-Ellis from New England, but could draft a running back to add to the competition for the starting job. Dalton isn’t sure how the offense will change if GreenEllis gets most of the plays. “We’ll have to see,” Dalton said. “Obviously I haven’t seen
him play that much. I don’t know much about him but once we get these practices and get rolling, we’ll see what he’s able to do.” Another running back would be nice. They really need a receiver. Green emerged as one of the NFL’s most dangerous receivers as a rookie, catching 65 passes for 1,057 yards with seven touchdowns in the regular season. Jerome Simpson was second among Bengals receivers with 50 catches for 725 yards, but he’s an unrestricted free agent who pleaded to a drug-related charge in the offseason. Andre Caldwell, who finished third among Bengals receivers with 37 catches for 317 yards, left for Denver as a free agent.

Bold trade last year has Browns primed TOM WITHERS AP Sports Writer CLEVELAND (AP) — Browns general manTom Heckert ager passed up on one of the top playmakers in last year’s NFL draft. He can’t afford to be so choosy this year. Cleveland needs offensive help. Desperate to improve a unit that scored just 218 points — one more than the 1999 expansion Browns — last season, Heckert has five of the top 100 picks (Nos. 4, 22, 37, 67 and 100) this year and it’s likely he’ll use at least three of them on offensive players — and maybe even a quarterback like Oklahoma State’s Brandon Weeden. “Everyone knows it, it’s not a secret,” Heckert said. “We need guys that can score points. Hopefully, we can add to that.” Heckert gambled last year, trading out of the No. 6 overall pick in the first round by making a deal with Atlanta. He acquired the Falcons’ top two picks in 2011 and a first- (No. 22) and fourthround round pick (No. 118) in this year’s draft, which begins Thursday night. Heckert could have taken Alabama wide receiver Julio Jones, but chose to drop before making another trade with Kansas City and selecting defensive tackle Phil Taylor with the No. 21 pick. The Browns wound up using the Falcons’ picks on wide receiver Greg Little and fullback Owen Marecic. Looking back, Heckert has no regrets about
Richardson
Floyd
the bold move, one that received its share of criticism but has a chance to provide a handsome payoff. “I do think it was the right thing for our football team,” said Heckert, who will be armed with a league-high 13 selections, four of them compensatory picks he can’t trade. “The guys we drafted last year turned out to be pretty good players, which helps that. If they weren’t and everybody assumes we would have taken Julio Jones and that would have been the guy if we stayed, and I am not going to say ‘yes or no’ on that. “This year, we hope to get some more good players.” The Browns need offensive difference makers to support shaky incumbent quarterback Colt McCoy. Alabama’s Trent Richardson could be one. Although running backs have been devalued in recent years, Richardson is the class of the 2012 class. A punishing, physical inside runner who can also pop outside for a long gain, Richardson rushed for 1,679 yards and scored 21 touchdowns while helping the Crimson Tide roll to a national title last season. He would make an immediate impact on
Blackmon
Wheeden
Cleveland’s offense and improve a rushing attack that sputtered last season when Peyton Hillis couldn’t stay healthy or drama-free. Richardson appears to be a safe pick for the Browns, who can’t afford to overreach on a player or take any unnecessary risks. Richardson’s passcatching ability — he had 29 receptions for 338 yards last season — is another plus for Cleveland as the Browns will be in their second season in a West Coast offensive system that utilizes short swing passes to the backs. With the ball in his hands and in space, Richardson can be a handful for any linebacker or defensive back to bring down. Heckert won’t hesitate to take a back as high as No. 4. He’s shown a willingness to take chances at the position in the past, trading two second rounders and a third rounder in 2010 to move up in round two and select Montario Hardesty, whose NFL career has been slowed by knee injuries. Cleveland’s other viable back is Brandon Jackson, a free agent who missed all of 2011 with a foot injury. Running back may not be a top priority for the Browns, but passing on a player as talented
as Richardson could haunt them. “This draft is not about the fourth pick, it’s about the draft,” Heckert said. “Montario, we do think he is going to be a lot better this year. We think Brandon Jackson is going to be good. All that stuff plays in to it, but needless to say, you are talking about a really good player.” Same goes for Justin Blackmon, regarded as the top wide receiver. The Browns’ lack of a No. 1 receiver — Little led the club with 61 catches but 12 drops as a rookie — combined with McCoy’s questionable arm strength allowed defenses to stack the line of scrimmage and stuff Cleveland’s ground game. Blackmon isn’t a burner, but the Browns could find one at No. 22 in either Georgia Tech’s
Stephen Hill or Baylor’s Kendall Wright, who caught 108 of Robert Griffin III’s passes last year. Another intriguing possibility is for Heckert, a renowned draft-day wheeler and dealer, to bundle picks and move up to select Notre Dame wide receiver Michael Floyd, who some experts believe is better than Blackmon and is expected to go in the Top 10. A Richardson-Floyd tandem would be ideal, but whose going to get them the ball? McCoy’s stock was already plummeting before the Browns tried and failed to trade for a shot at Griffin. Heckert tried to offset the club’s apparent dissatisfaction in McCoy during a news conference last week, saying “We like Colt” three times while an-
swering one question. There’s no doubt the Browns will take a QB. What’s not yet clear is if it will be one to compete with McCoy for the starter’s job this year or down the road. Weeden, the 28-yearold former minor league baseball player, will likely be available at No. 22, and it’s possible he’ll still be around at No. 37, assuming the Browns stay put. But based on last year, Heckert may not sit still. If there’s a player he covets, he has the means to put the Browns in a more favorable position. “We do have ammunition, which is nice,” he said. “If there is somebody we don’t think is going to get there we can move up and get them. That’s always a plus when you have extra picks.”
It’s official: Colts to take Luck INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — It’s official: Andrew Luck will be the No. 1 choice in Thursday night’s NFL draft. Rather than keeping the NFL’s worst-kept secret under wraps until Luck’s name rolled off the lips of Roger commissioner Goodell, general manager Ryan Grigson decided there was no reason to delay the inevitable: Luck will become the successor to Peyton Manning as Indianapolis’ quarterback and the new face of the franchise. “We didn’t the see the point in prolonging what the world already
knows,” Grigson told reporters Tuesday after a voluntary mini-camp workout. “It’s about Andrew and we wanted to do the right thing by him.” The decision is no surprise. Last Wednesday, Grigson said the Colts had made a decision about who to take with the first choice but declined to say whether it would be Luck, the Heisman Trophy runner-up, or Robert Griffin III, the Heisman winner. Less than 24 hours later, The Associated Press learned that the choice would be Luck barring an unforeseen accident. Indy has been prepar-
ing for Luck’s arrival for a while. Grigson said last week that the team made its decision a couple of weeks earlier and that was one reason they didn’t have Griffin come to Indy for an interview. The Stanford quarterback plans to have his entire family in New York on draft night. He’ll fly to Indianapolis on Friday, where he will take questions from local reporters and then meet fans at Lucas Oil Stadium, his new home field. The Colts have not had the first pick in the draft since 1998 when they selected Manning.

Contestants sought for Miss Independence FORT LORAMIE — Contestants are being sought for the 2012 Miss Queen Independence Pageant in conjunction with the Fort Loramie Liberty Days. This year’s festival will be held June 29-July 1. The pageant is open to all area girls ages 1618, as of July 4. Applications are due by May 31. Miss Independence will be awarded a $1,000 scholarship and the first runner-up, a $500 scholarship. There is no costume requirement again this year — a change made last year that was received positively. The contestants will be completing a “Patriotism Project” rather than a costume.
The project can either be a community service or research project, they’ve something learned about in school or any topic that the contestant can relate to patriotism. The project has purposely been left openended so contestants may develop and express their own ideas of patriotism. It can even be a project that has already been done in school the contestant will have an opportunity to share it with the community. There will also be a “Patriotism Award” presented for the best project. Each contestant will be asked to make a 35 by-46-inch tri-fold display board highlighting her project. The proj-
ects will be displayed in the Central Committee tent for the community to view throughout the duration of the festival. Contestants should wear a dress or a skirt — consistent with what would be worn to church or to a wedding. Applications can be requested by contacting Gina Boerger at 2959850 or via email at kevinandgina@nktelco.net . There is a $25 entry fee (checks made out to Fort Loramie Liberty Days). Community orclubs, ganizations, churches and businesses are encouraged to sponsor contestants. If a contestant is in need of a sponsor, the committee will provide one.

So we have driven past Sidney on the Interstate for many years when we’re going from Perrysburg to Dayton. But I have been driving around now looking at the city. Pride in ownership in Sidney in all sections of the community is evident. The lawns are mowed, the streets are clean. And that’s a mark of a strong community.”

Antinuclear antibodies target the body cells’ command center, their nucleus. I’m not going to bore you with the long list of medicines for lupus. Let me assure you that lupus is not a death sentence. Sixty years ago, the average survival of a lupus patient was five years. Now, 90 percent of lupus patients are living 10 or more years and are active throughout most of their lives. This is primarily due to the impact modern medicines have had on

Now “Jimmie” says he is going after the big prize and wants to be the leader of the 21. He is a hustler and if he does not come out at the top of the list he won’t be far away from the leader. ——— An all day session of the Methodist Ladies Aid Society was held at the Methodist Episcopal Church yesterday. The usual form of business was transacted during the morning. The ladies spent the time in sewing carpet rags to make rugs which are to be sold to secure funds for the society. At the noon hour, to which the husbands were invited, a picnic dinner was served.
75 Years April 25, 1937 Fears of a drowning were in the air last night and this morning, following the discovery of some men’s clothing along the Miami River bank at the rear of the old Catholic cemetery on South Brooklyn Avenue.

Peter Doseck has taken his message to the television airwaves, but the local minister doesn’t want to be lumped in with other TV evangelists who have come under fire lately. The services of Doseck’s Only Believe Ministries, 109 Lynn St., started airing on Channel 44 in Lima a few weeks ago and will be carried on Channel 26 in Springfield beginning in July. Doseck said he was told in a vision from God several years ago that he should take his ministry to television viewers. He said he didn’t want to go on television until funds were available to pay for the air time a year in advance

LAURA IN ST. LOUIS DEAR LAURA: You’re asking an intelligent question and I commend you for your sensitivity. If the photo album is intended to be a surprise for your father, consider talking to your stepmother about the idea. It will give you an indication of how such a gift would be perceived by her. DEAR ABBY: I’m 24 and love my parents. Mom confided to me that she has been see-
ing a high school flame behind my father’s back. She claims she loves this man and said she has slept with him, but she doesn’t want to leave the security my father provides for her. She swore me to secrecy about her affair. Meanwhile, my father has started talking to me about their marital problems. He doesn’t understand why Mother isn’t happy. I feel like I should tell him, but that would be-
tray my mother. At the same time, not telling him what I know is betraying him. What should I do? — CAUGHT IN THE MIDDLE DEAR CAUGHT IN THE MIDDLE: Your parents should not be confiding their marital difficulties to you. They should attempt to resolve them by communicating with each other — preferably with the help of a licensed marriage counselor. That your mother
would turn you into a co-conspirator in her affair is despicable. Give her a deadline to level with your father or tell her that you will. He deserves to know the truth.

Adam Kemp who passed away five years ago today January 3, 1975 - April 25, 2007 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 with 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 loved 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.
Missed by his loving daughters, family and friends
