US economy picks up BY MARTIN CRUTSINGER Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — After nearly stalling in late 2012, the American economy quickened its pace early this year despite deep government cutbacks. The strongest consumer spending in two years fueled a 2.5 percent annual growth rate in the JanuaryMarch quarter. The question is: Can it last? Federal spending cuts, higher Social Security taxes and cautious businesses are likely to weigh on the econ-

omy in coming months. Most economists say they think growth, as measured by the gross domestic product, is slowing in the April-June quarter to an annual rate of about 2 percent. Many predict growth will hover around that subpar level for the rest of the year. Friday’s Commerce Department report on GDP showed that consumers stepped up spending at an annual rate of 3.2 percent in the JanuaryMarch quarter — the biggest such jump since the end of 2010. Growth was also helped by businesses, which re-

sponded to the greater demand by rebuilding their stockpiles. And home construction rose further. Government spending sank at a 4.1 percent annual rate, led by another deep cut in defense. Sal Guatieri, senior economist at BMO Capital Markets, foresees more improvement in the second half of the year. “The second-half acceleration will be supported by improved household finances, pent-up demand for autos and the ongoing recovery in housSee ECONOMY/Page 7A

Obama’s other commencement speeches this season are scheduled for all-male Morehouse College in Atlanta on May 19, and at the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Md., on May 24.

Thomas wins theater award Christi Thomas, of Sidney, is being honored with the David C. B r y a n t Outstanding Service Award from the American Association of Community Theatre Thomas (AACT). T h e award will be presented at an awards ceremony during the AACT National Theatre Festival (AACTFest 2013) in Carmel, Ind., June 19-22. The AACT David C. Bryant Outstanding Service Award recognizes members of AACT for significant, valuable and lasting service to community theater. Thomas first appeared on stage at age 6 and had her first taste of community theater as a villager in “Fiddler on the Roof ” for Sock & Buskin Players in 1980. She serves as their business man-

ager, but is also known for her backstage work as producer, director, musical coordinator, publicity chairman, light operator, stage manager, etc., for more than 80 shows. This love of theater took her to three other community groups and then to her first Ohio Community Theatre Association (OCTA) Conference in 1993. In 1995, she was elected to the Board of Directors as secretary. While holding that position, she formatted a book of policies and job descriptions that today numbers more than 75. In 1998, while still an Executive Board member, she did double duty as the West Region rep when no one else wanted the position. She has served on the OCTA Board in many positions including president and is currently the 2013 conference co-chairwoman. She has earned awards from OCTA as a vocalist, lighting designer, webmaster and newsletter editor; also receiving the

President’s Award and Outstanding Regional Rep award. In her spare time, she is a 40-year employee of the city of Sidney, currently serving as the administrative assistant in the Fire Department. When asked about the significance of community theater in her life, she said, “Community theater has added a dimension to my life I don’t think I would have found anywhere else. … The friends I’ve made across Ohio and those in New York, Michigan, Wisconsin and Nebraska are some of the best people I’d ever want to meet.” The American Association of Community Theatre provides networking, resources and support to suit the needs of those involved in community theater. AACT represents the interests of more than 7,000 theaters across the United States and its territories, as well as theater companies with the armed services overseas.

Country superstar George Jones dead at 81 BY HILLEL ITALIE Associated Press NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — When it comes to country music, George Jones was The Voice. Other great singers have come and gone, but this fact remained inviolate until Jones passed away Friday at 81 in a Nashville hospital after a year of ill health. “Today someone else has become the greatest living singer of traditional country music, but there will never be another George Jones,” said Bobby Braddock, the Country Music Hall of Fame songwriter who provided Jones with 29 songs over the decades. “No one in country music has influenced so many other artists.” He did it with that voice. Rich and deep, strong enough to crack like a whip, but supple enough to bring tears. It was so powerful, it made Jones the first thoroughly modern country superstar, complete with the substance abuse problems and rich-andfamous celebrity lifestyle that See JONES/Page 7A

Open-container bill proposed for cities Republican Sen. Bill Seitz of Green Township, just outside of Cincinnati, is a co-sponsor of the bill and said he’s optimistic that it will pass. “Not too many Democratic bills pass in a Republican General Assembly — that’s why I figured I could give it a boost by making it bipartisan,” he said. “Hopefully it’ll get some legs and it’ll get passed.” He said it’s still early but he hasn’t heard any criticism of the bill yet. “I imagine there might be some sticks in the mud that might be opposed, but we’ll see how it plays out,” he said. Cincinnati Mayor Mark Mallory said he needs to learn more about the bill, but that it sounds like a great idea, especially if car traffic is reduced or eliminated in such districts at certain times. “It could really help us to create even more energy in some areas of the city,” he said. He said the idea could work at a new mixed-use development in between the Reds and Bengals stadiums along the Ohio River known as The Banks and in the Overthe-Rhine historic neighborhood just north of downtown Cincinnati, which was the site of the city’s race riots in 2001 but is in the middle of a major transformation into a popular restaurant and bar scene.

Ohio sees record high overdose deaths in 2011

Ohio resumes 24-hour Amber Alerts COLUMBUS (AP) — Ohio has decided to resume sending cellphone alerts of missing children and other emergencies whenever they happen — even in the middle of the night. The (Cleveland) Plain Dealerreports that the Ohio Amber Alert Steering Committee had halted the cellphone alerts between midnight and 6 a.m. because people complained the loud alarms woke them up in fear. But the committee de-

cided Thursday to resume the 24-hour alerts for people who have phones programmed with the Wireless Emergency Alert. The committee said the urgency of finding an abducted child outweighs the middle-of-the-night disruption. The alert system is coordinated through the federal government and the cellular phone industry. There have been two statewide Amber Alerts since the system went online in December.

have more addiction and ultimately more overdoses.” In 2011, an average of 59 painkillers was dispensed for every Ohio resident, according to Ohio Board of Pharmacy data reported by the Health Department. Scioto County in southern Ohio led the state in the per capita overdose death rate from 2007 through 2011, followed by Brown, Jefferson, Pike and Adams counties, all in southern or eastern Ohio. Cuyahoga County had the highest number of total overdose deaths in 2011 with 211, followed by Franklin County with 209 and Montgomery County with 121. In addition to increases in prescription painkiller and heroin overdoses, a growing number of Ohioans are dying from overdosing with anti-anxiety medications, the state data shows. The number of heroin overdose deaths jumped to 426 in 2011, up from 338 the previous year, part of a trend that police and counseling agencies have been warning about for several years. As addicts’ supply of painkiller dries up, they turn to the cheaper and, in some cases, more dangerous street drug. Beeghly said it’s wrong to blame the crackdown on painkillers for the increase in heroin use.

TOLEDO POLICE and fire departments investigate the scene of a house explosion on Huron Street in Toledo Thursday.

Explosion collapses empty Toledo home BY TAYLOR DUNGJEN AP Exchange Sonya McCollum was watching the house next door and listening to a hissing sound, when she turned away to call Columbia Gas. Just a moment after walking away from the window, a massive explosion shook the walls of her two-story home on North Huron Street, shattering at least one window. “I grabbed her and we ran into a corner and then ran outside,” said a shaking McCollum, pointing to a woman standing with her. “I was so scared. It could have been me.” The house next to McCollum’s exploded Thursday afternoon, although officials weren't sure why. Toledo Fire Department officials estimated

the damage at $40,000. Several neighbors said they saw someone running from the home carrying a hot-water tank not long before the house collapsed. The property at 1448 N. Huron St. is owned by North River Homes, part of a United North taxcredit housing project, said Terry Glazer, chief executive officer. Glazer said the twostory house, built in 1999, has been vacant for about a week and a half. After the last tenant moved out, the North Toledo organization did a walk-through of the property and noted some needed repairs, but Glazer said the house was generally in good condition. He speculated that vandalism was the cause of the explosion, which was reported just before 1:15 p.m.

Beverly Baugher said the explosion, to her, seemed like an earthquake or a city truck crashing into another vehicle. Tim Smith, who lives several houses away but on the opposite side of Huron, said he was walking between two houses when, seemingly simultaneously, he heard a boom, saw the house collapse, and a ball of fire roll through the inside and out from the roof. The street in front of the collapsed property was covered in broken glass. Fire Lt. Matthew Hertzfeld estimated that the blast radius extended 35 to 40 feet from the front and back of the house. The two houses on either side had “shrapnel damage,” he said, noting that an entire wall was leaning on 1444 N. Huron.

Kasich pick beats conservative challenger in bid for GOP chair BY JULIE CARR SMYTH Associated Press COLUMBUS (AP) — Gov. John Kasich’s pick to lead the Ohio Republican Party was elected Friday over a conservative challenger who warned party leaders they are dangerously out of touch with the party’s grassroots base. The GOP State Central Committee voted 48-7 to elect Matthew Borges chairman over Portage County businessman and tea party leader Tom Zawistowski. There were three abstentions. Borges, 40, said he believed his victory put to rest criticism he had faced about a past misdemeanor conviction and tax liens. He pledged to pull together all Republicans, including tea party activists who applauded loudly throughout Zawistowski’s campaign speech. “Sometimes family fights are the roughest fights of all. You might say something to your cousin or your brother that you wouldn’t say to anyone else,” Borges said. “But at the end of the day, you’re still family and you work together and you do what you know is right for the state. And in this case, what’s right for the state unequivocally is getting John Kasich re-elected governor in 2014.”

Zawistowski is a leading figure in a conservative and tea party backlash against Republican leadership. His camp raised questions about Borges’ suitability for the job, Kasich’s support for Medicaid expansion under the federal health care law and U.S. Sen. Rob Portman’s recent reversal in favor of same-sex marriage. “I’ll not give one more dime or moment of my time to the GOP here in Ohio,” said Susan A. Thompson, a Taco Bell cashier from Findlay who attended the meeting to support Zawistowski. She said Kasich’s support for Medicaid expasnsion was a slap to volunteers who spent two years gathering signatures for a ballot initiative op-

posing government health care mandates — and Borges’ election effectively validates that stance. Borges replaces veteran chairman Bob Bennett, who returned to the party’s helm last year after Kasich allies took control of the central committee and forced out then-chairman Kevin DeWine. Bennett retires May 31. Zawistowski said the party organization needs to listen to his supporters, who are among its most loyal voters and volunteers. “We know what this election’s about: They voted to be a campaign election machine,” he said. “We don’t want to be part of a campaign election machine, we want to be part of a political party.”

CINCINNATI (AP) — In the vein of Las Vegas Strip and the streets of New Orleans, two Ohio lawmakers want the state’s biggest cities to have entertainment districts where revelers can take their alcoholic drinks outdoors. A bipartisan bill introduced in the Senate on Thursday by Sen. Eric Kearney proposes to allow cities with more than 50,000 residents to create designated areas exempt from Ohio’s state law against open containers. That could mean open containers in Cincinnati’s popular Over-theRhine historic neighborhood, Cleveland’s struggling waterfront area known as The Flats, the Arena District in Columbus and the area around downtown Toledo’s Mud Hens stadium. But 11 other Ohio cities would be able to create such open-container districts under the bill, including Akron, Canton, Parma, Youngstown, Dayton, Hamilton and Springfield, among others. If it gains enough support, the bill could pass in the summer, but more likely the fall, and go into effect by year’s end. “This would allow a festival atmosphere, an

open atmosphere, much like the one on Bourbon Street in New Orleans and Beale Street in Memphis,” Kearney told The Associated Press on Friday. Kearney, a Cincinnati Democrat, said he got the idea for the bill from his staffers, who are largely in their 20s. “I kind of got the concept from them and understood how it would work and how it would be attractive to get tourism in some of our major urban areas in Ohio, generate more activity and kind of add to the cool factor,” he said. The bill stipulates that alcohol must be bought within a given district — not from the outside — and limits the size of the districts to a squared half-mile. Kearney also said that cities would not be required to allow open containers anywhere, but the bill gives them the freedom to do so and the authority to decide where such districts could go. The bill would allow cities with populations of 50,000 to 150,000 people such as Dayton and Canton to create one such district. Cities of 150,000 to 300,000 people — like Cincinnati, Toledo and Akron — could create two. The only two cities with more than 300,000 people, Columbus and Cleveland, could have three.

TODAY IN HISTORY BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Today is Saturday, April 27, the 117th day of 2013. There are 248 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On April 27, 1813, the Battle of York took place in Upper Canada during the War of 1812 as a U.S. force defeated the British garrison in present-day Toronto before withdrawing. On this date: • In 1521, Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan was killed by natives in the Philippines. • In 1777, the only land battle in Connecticut during the Revolutionary War, the Battle of Ridgefield, took place, resulting in a limited British victory. • In 1805, during the First Barbary War, an American-led force of Marines and mercenaries captured the city of Derna, on the shores of Tripoli. • In 1822, the 18th president of the United States, Ulysses S. Grant, was born in Point Pleasant, Ohio. • In 1865, the steamer Sultana exploded on the Mississippi River near Memphis, Tenn., killing more than 1,400 people, mostly freed Union prisoners of war. • In 1938, King Zog I of the Albanians married Countess Geraldine Apponyi de Nagy-Apponyi. • In 1941, German forces occupied Athens during World War II. • In 1967, Expo ’67 was officially opened in Montreal by Canadian Prime Minister Lester B. Pearson. • In 1973, Acting FBI Director L. Patrick Gray resigned after it was revealed that he’d destroyed files removed from the safe of Watergate conspirator E. Howard Hunt. • In 1982, the trial of John W. Hinckley Jr., who had shot four people, including President Ronald Reagan, began in Washington. (The trial ended with Hinckley’s acquittal by reason of insanity.) • In 1992, the new Federal Republic of Yugoslavia was proclaimed in Belgrade by the republic of Serbia and its lone ally, Montenegro. Russia and 12 other former Soviet republics won entry into the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank. Betty Boothroyd became the first female Speaker of Britain’s House of Commons.

PRESIDENT BARACK Obama points to a member of the media as he prepares to answer a question regarding the ongoing situation in Syria, during his meeting with Jordan’s King Abdullah II (left) in the Oval Office of the White House in Washington, Friday.

Obama’s Syria caution shows Washington uncertainty BY DONNA CASSATA Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama’s cautious response to Syria’s likely use of chemical weapons reflects a lack of agreement in Washington over aggressive military intervention, but lawmakers in both parties fear that inaction could embolden not only Syrian President Bashar Assad but U.S. foes as well. The White House cautiously acknowledged that the Syrian government has used chemical weapons, most likely the agent sarin, in the two-year civil war that has killed more than 70,000 people and displaced hundreds of thousands more. Obama has declared that the Assad regime’s use of chemical weapons would cross a “red line” for a major military re-

sponse, but the administration made clear Friday that even a quick strike wasn’t imminent as they try to corroborate the information. White House spokesman Jay Carney said the prospect of the use of chemical weapons in Syria is “gravely serious,” but he insisted the administration needed more evidence to bolster its intelligence assessments. “This is not an airtight case,” he said. “We do have some evidence, but we need to build on that.” Emerging from a closed-door briefing with Secretary of State John Kerry on Capitol Hill, House Republicans and Democrats expressed uncertainty about the appropriate next step as the Obama administration considers limited military options. No lawmaker pressed for a U.S. military invasion after

more than 10 years of war in Iraq and Afghanistan. “It is such a muddled picture,” said Rep. Hal Rogers, RKy., chairman of the House Appropriations Committee. “I think probably we should be asking the U.N. to be involved. I think perhaps that’s in the making.” Rep. Dutch Ruppersberger of Maryland, the senior Democrat on the House intelligence committee, was among many lawmakers who called for a cautious approach to Syria even as they acknowledged the seriousness of the situation. “We want to do everything we can to avoid putting boots on the ground,” he told reporters. The U.S. should work with other countries to stabilize Syria and ensure its chemical weapons are kept out of the hands of terrorist groups, he said.

Congress cancels furloughs BY ALAN FRAM Associated Press

OUT OF THE BLUE

WASHINGTON (AP) — Furloughed air traffic controllers will soon be heading back to work, ending a week of coast-to-coast flight delays that left thousands of travelers frustrated and furious. Unable to ignore the travelers’ anger, Congress overwhelmingly approved legislation Friday to allow the Federal Aviation Administration to withdraw the furloughs. The vote underscored a shift by Democrats who had insisted on erasing all of this year’s $85 billion in across-the-board budget cuts, not just the most publicly painful ones, for fear of losing leverage to restore money for Head Start and other programs with less lobbying clout and popular support.

Don’t swallow the ice

ECONOMY

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — The idea behind the Tampa Women’s Club charity event was simple. For $20, you could buy a flute of champagne and a chance to win a one-carat, $5,000 diamond. Organizers of the Saturday event placed $10 cubic zirconia stones in the bottom of 399 of the 400 champagne glasses. The prized diamond, donated by Continental Wholesale Diamonds, was placed in the last. The problem? Eightyyear-old Miriam Tucker accidentally swallowed it. Tucker told local news media that she didn't want to put her finger in the champagne, so she drank a bit. While laughing with women at the table, she realized she swallowed it. Embarrassed, she had to tell jewelers who were frantically searching for the winner. Already scheduled for a colonoscopy on Monday, she had a doctor recover the jewel.

ing,” Guatieri says. “We are seeing significant housing-related consumer purchases in such areas as furniture.” GDP is the broadest gauge of the economy’s health. It measures the total output of goods and services produced in the United States, from haircuts and hamburgers to airplanes and automobiles. The government will provide two updated estimates of first-quarter growth based on more complete data. Whatever the revised data show, estimated first-quarter growth will likely remain far above the economy’s scant 0.4 percent growth rate in the October-December quarter. In a healthy economy, with an unemployment rate between 5 percent and 6 percent, GDP growth of 2.5 percent or 3 percent would be considered solid. But in today’s still-struggling recovery, with unemployment at 7.6 percent, the economy needs faster growth to generate enough jobs to quickly shrink unemployment. Since the Great Recession officially ended in June 2009, growth has remained weaker

With President Barack Obama’s promised signature, the measure will erase one of the most stinging and publicly visible consequences of the budget-wide cuts known as the sequester. Friday’s House approval was 361-41 and followed the previous evening’s passage by the Senate, which didn’t even bother with a roll call. Lawmakers then streamed toward the exits — and airports — for a weeklong spring recess. White House spokesman Jay Carney said Obama would sign the bill, but Carney complained that the measure left the rest of the sequester intact. “This is a Band-Aid solution. It does not solve the bigger problem,” he said. Using the same Band-Aid comparison, Rep. Rick Larsen, D-Wash., said that “the sequester needs triple

bypass surgery.” The FAA and Transportation Department did not respond to repeated questions about when the controllers’ furloughs would end. Sen. Susan Collins, RMaine, who helped craft the measure, was told by Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood Friday that the agency is “doing everything they can to get things back on track as quickly as possible,” said Collins spokesman Kevin Kelley. In the week since the furloughs began, news accounts have prominently featured nightmarish tales of delayed flights and stranded air passengers. Republicans have used the situation to accuse the Obama administration of purposely forcing the controllers to take unpaid days off to dial up public pressure on Congress to roll back the sequester.

included mansions, multiple divorces and — to hear one fellow performer tell it — fistfuls of cocaine. He was a beloved and at times a notorious figure in Nashville and his problems were just as legendary as his songs. But when you dropped the needle on one of his records, all that stuff went away. And you were left with The Voice. “He just knows how to pull every drop of emotion out of it of the songs if it’s an emotional song or if it’s a fun song he knows how to make that work,” Alan Jackson said in a 2011 interview. “It’s rare. He was a big fan of Hank Williams Sr. like me. He tried to sing like Hank in the early days. I’ve heard early cuts. And the difference is Hank was a singer and he was a great writer, but he didn’t have that natural voice like George. Not many people do. That just sets him apart from everybody.” That voice helped Jones achieve No. 1 songs in four separate decades, 1950s to 1980s. And its qualities were admired by more than just his fellow country artists but by Frank Sinatra, Pete Townshend, Elvis Costello, James Taylor and countless others. “If we all could sound like we wanted to, we’d all sound like George Jones,” Waylon Jennings once sang. Word of his death spread Friday morning as his peers paid tribute. Merle Haggard put it best, perhaps: “The world has lost the greatest country singer of all time. Amen.” “The greatest voice to ever grace country music will never die,” Garth Brooks said. “Jones has a place in every heart that ever loved any kind of music.” And Dolly Parton added, “My heart is absolutely broken. George Jones was my all time favorite singer and one of my favorite people in the world.” In Jones’ case, that’s not hyperbole. In a career that lasted more than 50 years, “Possum” evolved from young honkytonker to elder statesman as he recorded more than 150 albums and became the champion and symbol of traditional country music, a well-lined link to his hero, Williams. Jones survived long battles with alcoholism and drug addiction, brawls, accidents and close encounters with death, including bypass surgery and a tour bus crash that he only avoided by deciding at the last moment to take a plane. His failure to appear for concerts left him with the nickname “No Show Jones,” and he later recorded a song by that name and often opened his shows by singing it. His wild life was revealed in song and in his handsome, troubled face, with its dark, deep-set eyes and dimpled chin.

From Page 1 than usual after a severe downturn. In part, that’s because the recession followed the worst financial crisis since Great Depression. The economy expanded just 2.4 percent in 2010, 1.8 percent in 2011 and 2.2 percent in 2012. This had been expected to be the year when growth would finally reach a more robust 3 percent to 4 percent pace. But across-the-board government spending cuts, which began taking effect March 1, have made that unlikely. The cuts are forcing agencies to furlough workers, reducing spending on public projects and making businesses nervous about investing and hiring. Unless Congress and the White House reach a deal to reverse them, the government spending cuts will continue through the end of the year and beyond. Consumers’ take-home pay has also fallen because President Barack Obama and Congress allowed a Social Security tax cut to expire. A person earning $50,000 a year has about $1,000 less to spend this year. A household with

two high-paid workers has up to $4,500 less. Consumers’ take-home pay is crucial to the economy because their spending drives roughly 70 percent of growth. Americans appeared to shake off the tax increase at the start of the year. They spent more in January and February, powered by a stronger job market. But hiring slowed sharply in March. And consumers spent less at retail businesses, a sign that many were starting to feel the effects of the Social Security tax increase. Economists expect spending to stay weak in the April-June quarter as consumers adjust to smaller paychecks. Ben Herzon, an economist at Macroeconomics Advisers, thinks the tax increases could shave roughly 1 percentage point from growth this year. He expects the government spending cuts to reduce growth by a further 0.6 percentage point. The drop in government spending cut growth in the January-March quarter by 0.8 percentage point. Three-fourths of that de-

cline came from defense spending. The past two quarterly declines in defense spending — at a 22.1 percent annual pace in the fourth quarter and 11.5 percent in the first quarter — have been the sharpest such back-to-back drops since the Korean War was winding down in the 1950s. Many large developing countries are growing much faster than the United States. China’s economy expanded 7.7 percent in the first three months of the year compared with a year earlier — and that was a slowdown from its previous double-digit growth. Indonesia’s economy grew 6.2 percent in 2012, India’s 4.1 percent. But among developed countries, the United States is still performing relatively well. Most of Europe is stuck in a second year of recession. Germany’s economy grew just 0.7 percent in 2012. France’s didn’t grow at all. Italy’s shrank 2.4 percent. And in the January-March quarter, Britain grew at an annual rate of just 1.2 percent, less than half the estimated U.S. pace.

The Law Day theme is “Realizing the Dream: Equality for All.” Each May, the bar association observes Law Day to commemorate the rule of law, the judiciary and its place in American society. The idea of a national Law Day was conceived in 1957 by then-American Bar Association Charles President Rhynes. In 1958, President Dwight D. Eisenhower established the first Law Day, and in 1961, the U.S. Congress issued a joint resolution making May 1 the official Law Day.

Art institute offers mobile tour DAYTON — The Dayton Art Institute recently introduced What Is a Masterpiece?, a new interactive tour that uses QR codes and mobile technology to provide guests with in-depth information about select works from the museum’s permanent collection. The launch of What Is a Masterpiece? places the Dayton Art Institute among a small number of museums in the United States to offer a mobilebased interactive tour of its collection. “What Is a Masterpiece? provides an entirely new way to experience the treasures in our permanent collection,” said DAI Executive Director Michael R. Roediger. “Using mobile devices, such as iPads and smartphones, guests now literally have a wealth of information about these works available at their fingertips.” The What Is a Masterpiece? project was funded by a federal Museums for America grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services. The interactive tour highlights 50 works of art from the museum’s permanent collection, with plans to add additional pieces to

the tour. Each of the works features a What Is a Masterpiece? label with a QR (quick response) code on it. Visitors are able to access enhanced information about the featured works by scanning the QR codes, using museum-supplied iPads. Visitors may also use their own smartphones or other Wi-Fi-enabled tablets and mobile devices to scan the QR codes. The QR codes link to a mobile website that was developed specifically for this project. Each featured masterpiece has a unique landing page that offers a variety of options, including detailed historical information, audio commentaries and video content. Because What Is a Masterpiece? is web based, it may also be accessed through a standard web browser on any desktop or laptop computer, by going to www.daytonartinstitute.org/masterpiece. It is also possible to more closely examine certain objects through the use

of interactive 3-D spins, created using a specially designed iPhone/iPad app and turntable. Guests are able to rotate an image of these objects 360 degrees and zoom in, revealing details that might not otherwise be visible in the galleries. The DAI is one of the first museums in the U.S. to utilize this technology. “What Is a Masterpiece? is designed to create a participatory experience,” said Education Director Susan Anable, who oversaw the project’s development. “It allows users to choose what kind of information they want to explore, from how a work of art was created and what choices an artist made in his or her lifetime, to examples of music from the time period of the work.” Guests are also encouraged to participate by providing feedback about what constitutes a masterpiece and rating the featured works. “Our hope is that visitors will ultimately engage in dialogue and conversations about the

featured works and what constitutes a masterpiece,” Anable added. As part of the project, Wi-Fi has been installed throughout the museum galleries, as well as in the new Leo Bistro restaurant and Museum Store. “What Is a Masterpiece? is another aspect of our ongoing efforts to make the DAI a premiere downtown destination,” said Roediger. “This addition, along with the museum’s expanded hours and new bistro, will enable the community to enjoy food, friends and fine art in one place.” To learn more about What Is a Masterpiece?, visit the museum’s guest services desk during regular hours. Museum-supplied iPads may be checked out for $3 for four hours, or guests may access What Is a Masterpiece? through their own Wi-Fienabled mobile devices.

Vectren: Winter gas costs remained low due to low, stable natural gas prices DAYTON — Low, stable natural gas prices that are a direct result of the U.S.’s abundant natural gas supply again helped bill amounts remain at decade lows, and as such, natural gas remained the most cost-effective energy source for home heating this past winter, according to Vectren Energy Delivery of Ohio. West-central Ohio customers of Vectren who heated their homes with natural gas this past winter paid significantly less than those who used propane or electricity to heat their homes over the winter heating season of November through March. The average Vectren customer, based on normal winter weather, paid $60 to nearly $70 per month in home heating costs during the 2012-13 heating season for a fivemonth total of $300 to $340 depending upon the efficiency of the furnace and size of the home. Natural gas heating bills have not been this low since the heating season of 2001 through 2002. Abundant gas supply in the U.S. has resulted in natural gas costs, which are passed

through to customers on a dollar-for-dollar basis, remaining at levels not seen in a decade.

during a transition period while Buettner assumes the reins of the business. “For the last 43 years, I’ve been proud to continue to grow my family’s business in an area as prosperous as West Central Ohio,” Gagel said. “I’m happy to be able to transition ownership to Jason and Fischer Plumbing and Heating, I am confident Jason will continue to provide the high-quality products and services that local residents have come expect when they call Gagel’s,” he said. Gagel thanked area communities for their support and patronage of his family’s business during the last 50 years. Gagel said he will miss the people he has worked with and area residents and businesses he has served over the years. There are some aspects of the business he’ll be glad to leave to someone else. “I won’t miss the late night service calls,” Gagel said. After completing the transitional period later this year, Gagel said his retirement plans include traveling with his wife.

ODNR expects good fishing at Lake Erie COLUMBUS – Lake Erie anglers should enjoy diverse fishing opportunities in 2013, according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR). “When you consider the mix of species and sizes that are seasonally available to Ohio anglers, we are optimistic about the fishing prospects this year,” said Jeff Tyson, Lake Erie fisheries program manager for the ODNR Division of Wildlife. “Weather is always a wild card at Lake Erie, but if conditions are similar to those in 2012, anglers should have excellent seasonal opportunities this year to catch walleye, yellow perch, smallmouth bass, white bass and steelhead.” Lake Erie walleye and yellow perch fisheries are managed through an interagency quota system that involves Ontario, Michigan, Pennsylvania, New York and Ohio jurisdictions. Each jurisdiction regulates their catches to comply with quotas and minimize the risk of over-fishing these species. Quotas for the upcoming fishing season are determined through consensus agreement by these jurisdictions through the Lake Erie Committee of the Great Lakes Fishery Commission, which were recently announced for 2013. The walleye daily bag limit is four, and the yellow perch daily bag limit is 30 per angler in Ohio waters until April 30. The daily bag limit will be six walleye from May 1 through Feb. 28, 2014. From March 1, 2014, through April 30, 2014, the daily wall-

eye bag limit will be four. A 15-inch minimum size limit is in effect during the entire season for walleye. The yellow perch daily bag limit is 30 from May 1 through April 30, 2014, with no minimum size limit.

Walleye Ohio walleye anglers in 2013 will catch fish mostly from the 2010, 2009, 2007 and 2003 hatches. Walleye from the 2011 hatch continue to show good growth based on 2012 fall surveys and many individuals will be near or over the 15-inch minimum size limit during the 2013 fishing season. Walleye from the moderate 2010 hatch will range from 17-22 inches, while walleye from the 2007 hatch will range from 18-25 inches. The 2003 and 2007 hatches are likely to carry most of the Central Basin fisheries. These walleye will complement the larger 22- to 30inch fish from the strong 2003 hatch. Large walleye from strong hatches in the mid-1990s will provide “Fish Ohio” opportunities (greater than 28 inches).

Yellow Perch

CELINA — More than a year after being put into service, “Brutus,” a 57-ton dredge, has helped increase the amount of sediment removed from Grand Lake St. Marys, according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR). The department removed a record 289,000 cubic yards from the lake last year. “Utilizing Brutus has greatly improved our efforts to remove sediment from Grand Lake St. Marys,” said ODNR Director James Zehringer. “Through the dredging operations and nutrient management plans, we continue our commitment to improve and protect the health of one of Ohio’s finest lakes.”

ODNR has employed a suction dredge program at Grand Lake St. Marys for approximately 60 years, and “Brutus” replaced the 44-year-old “St. Marys” dredge last year. In 2012, “Brutus” and two other dredges named “Eagle” and “Pump-a-Little” pumped 289,000 cubic yards of nutrient-rich sediment from the lake, besting a goal of 270,000. “Brutus” alone pumped more than 123,000 cubic yards of sediment last season. Ohio State Parks removed an average of 65,000 cubic yards of sediment annually from 2007-2010. The division hopes to remove more than 300,000 cubic yards of sediment in the 2013 dredge season, which

Inland Lakes and Rivers CENTRAL OHIO Delaware Lake (Delaware County) — This 1,017 acre lake north of Columbus is known for large crappie. Fish the old river channel and deep water with woody cover using a jig tipped with a minnow. As water warms this spring, crappie will move to shallower water to spawn. Fishing around woody cover with a minnow or jig suspended by a float can be rewarding. Crappie must be nine inches or longer to keep and only 30 may be possessed. Channel catfish can be caught using cut bait; target the north end of the lake. NORTHWEST OHIO Sandusky River (Sandusky County) — The river level is high and the water clarity is poor. Recent fishing has been poor due to the water level. Most anglers use a floating jig head fished on an 18-24 inch leader

with a 1/4 to 1/2 oz. weight depending on the water current. Anglers seem to have the best success tipping the jig head with a twister tail of white or chartreuse color. The best area to try is around the Miles Newton Bridge. The daily bag limit is 4 fish. Do NOT keep any walleye shorter than 15 inches. Maumee River (Lucas County) — The river level is still high and walleye fishing has been poor as a result. The river conditions should improve later this week and the fishing should improve as well. Try the Orleans Park and White Street Landing area. Most anglers use a floating jig head fished on an 18-24 inch leader with a 1/4 to 1/2 oz. weight depending on the water current. Anglers seem to have the best success tipping the jig head with a twister tail of white or chartreuse color. The daily bag limit is 4 fish.

began April 8. That number equals approximately 20,000 dump truck loads of sediment. Ohio State Parks is also building several new dredge material relocation areas to hold the removed sediment. One area includes a new under-construction wetland at Prairie Creek that will double as a sediment deposit point and a filter for water runoff flowing into Grand Lake St. Marys. The ODNR Division of Soil and Water Resources is also working with producers in the region to implement nutrient management plans, which will limit the release of new nutrients into Grand Lake St. Marys.

Steelhead Steelhead anglers should enjoy another year of great fishing in 2013 in Ohio’s Lake Erie open waters and in tributaries. Peak summer steelhead action on Lake Erie can be found offshore from June through August between Vermilion and Conneaut, with catches measuring 17 to 29 inches. Most Lake Erie anglers troll for steelhead in deep waters using spoons with dipsy divers or downriggers until fish move close to shore in the fall. The daily bag limit remains at five fish per angler from May 16-Aug. 31, and two fish per angler between Sept. 1 and May 15, 2014. A 12-inch minimum size limit is in effect throughout the year.

will be dominated by fish from the 2010 and 2011 year classes. Fish from 2005 could be as large as 16 inches. Anglers should focus on major Western Basin tributaries during May and June and near shore areas of the open lake during the summer. There is no white bass daily bag limit or size limit.

Other Species Largemouth bass fishing efforts and catch rates have increased significantly. Bays, harbors and main lake shorelines offer excellent fishing for panfish, as well as largemouth bass. Anglers may also catch an occasional northern pike or muskellunge in vegetated areas. Anglers are reminded that fishing conditions on Lake Erie can change hourly and adjustments are often necessary to improve success. Anglers should take into account factors such as water temperature, cloud cover, water clarity, boat traffic, wave action, structure, currents and the amount of baitfish in the area. Anglers are also reminded to carefully monitor Lake Erie weather and to seek safe harbor before storms approach. Updated Lake Erie fishing reports are available at wildohio.com or by calling 888-HOOKFISH (888-4665347). Information is available from ODNR Division of Wildlife staff from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays at the Fairport Harbor station (440-352-4199) for the Central Basin and at the Sandusky station (419-625-8062) for the Western Basin.

Free fishing days May 4-5 COLUMBUS, OH – Free Fishing Days on May 4-5 offers Ohio residents the opportunity to fish in any of the state’s public waters without buying a fishing license, according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources. Additionally, family-friendly fishing events for young anglers will be offered on Saturday, May 4, at five state properties around Ohio. “It is important to introduce kids to fishing at

a young age, and these free educational opportunities are a great way to get kids acquainted with fishing,” said ODNR Director James Zehringer. At the five designated youth fishing ponds on May 4, ODNR will provide bait and instruction for the young anglers, but participants are encouraged to bring their own fishing rods and tackle. A limited number of loaner fishing rods will be available at each site. These

Lake Erie Walleye fishing was good through 4/17/13 and then slowed over the past weekend as high winds greatly reduced water clarity in most of the western basin. Trollers have caught fish around the outer cans of the Camp Perry firing range, between Green and Rattlesnake Islands, West of Catawba, and to a lesser extent around Kelleys Island. Rapala deep husky jerks and deep diving Reef Runners have been the most consistent crankbaits.

Smallmouth bass fishing in 2013 is expected to be fair. Bass catch rates in 2012 were the highest observed since the mid-1990s. Smallmouth bass caught should be excellent size (14 to 22 inches, weighing up to 6 pounds). Bass fishing is best in areas with good bottom structure, which is the available habitat across much of the entire Ohio near shore area. All black bass (smallmouth and largemouth) must be immediately released from May 1June 28. Beginning June 29, the daily bag limit for bass is five, with a 14inch minimum length limit.

Expect good perch fishing in 2013, with the largest fish in the eastern areas of the Central Basin. Perch anglers should encounter fish ranging from 7- to 13-inches from the 2011 through 2007 hatches in this year’s fishery, with major contributions from the 2007 and 2008 year classes.

REPLAY 50 years ago April 27, 1963 Delbert Thobe tallied a 236 to lead seventh-place Heinl Grocery to a 2-2 draw with Mueller’s last-place Men’s Wear in the Tri-City League at Community Lanes in Minster the other night.

25 years ago April 27, 1988 Ted Hoelscher of Fort Loramie treked into an area previously unexplored by any track and field athlete from the area this year and he emerged with a couple of records. The senior went a half-inch better than his own height in winning the high jump at 6-41/2 at Covington. That sets not only a new school record, but also a track record at Covington.

10 years ago April 27, 2003 Minster’s Sunni Olding highlighted the West Milton Invitatioal on Saturday by running a state record 10:48.38 in the 3200 meters. She broke her own state record for the second time this season.

Short in line for SHS post To be recommended as next boys basketball coach BY KEN BARHORST kbarhorst@civitasmedia.com Sidney High School has found a new head boys basketball coach to replace Greg Snyder, and it was unanimous. The search committee made up of athletic director Jeff Courter, long-time girls basketball coach Maggi Williams, principal Jon Geuy and head football coach and teacher Adam Doenges will recommend the hiring of Nathan Short as the next boys coach. The hiring of Short is pending the approval of the board of education, which will meet on May 6. Short is a 2007 graduate of Mount Vernon High School and a 2012 graduate of Grace College in Indiana. He is currently a mathmatics teacher at Fredericktown High School, where he served as the junior varsity boys basketball coach. “As a whole, we were very impressed with his enthusiasm for teaching and basketball,” said Courter. “He has a number of great ideas for growing the Sidney basketball program and that begins with our youth. Nathan expressed interest in building an entire

Nathan Short school program from the very start in elementary schools, and we couldn’t be happier with that idea.” Short said Friday he’s excited about the opportunity. “I’m extremely excited,” he said. “I’m really appreciative of the committee for giving me this opportunity and I look forward to meeting everybody. The administration has been great to me so far.” It will be his first head coaching position, but he has plenty of experience. In fact, you could trace it all the way back to the fourth grade. “That’s when I bought my first coaching board,” he said.

“I grew up around it. Both my grandfathers coached basketball and baseball, and one was a basketball coach and math teacher. So I guess I’m following in his footsteps. And my dad was a head football coach and coached basketball and baseball. So it’s in the blood.” His father is now the superintendent of Mt. Vernon Schools, and his mom works at Mt. Vernon Nazarene University. He also has an older brother who is a pastor at a church in Alabama. “I told him I’m still the good son because I’m only two hours away (from mom and dad) and he’s ten,” Short said. Short favors the quote “You have never arrived,” which he takes to mean that the work won’t end when he becomes a head coach. “Some people might have the tendency to relax once they get that title. But I’m ready to work as hard as I can and I’m committed to finding success at Sidney High School. I’m young and I’m a single man, and that’s good because I know how many hours it’s going to take.” Short served as an assistant coach for two years at Grace College, and in both seasons, the team qualified for

Jackets down Wayne Sidney got a good outing from Nick Lauth and defeated Wayne 6-3 in high school baseball action Friday. The Jackets, now 8-7, were led at the plate by Connor Echols, who was 3-for-3. Preston Heath added a double. Lauth went the distance on a five-hitter and fanned nine. “We got a great outing from Nick, who was dominant,” said Sidney coach Bill Shoffner. “I’m not sure anyone throught we’d be 8-7 and tied for second in the North this late. We have a huge series coming up Monday and Tuesday with Piqua. Piqua is playing well right now so we’ll see what we’re made of.”

NEEDING HELP Blue Jackets must win, get help to get in COLUMBUS (AP) — It might be the most important regular-season game in Columbus Blue Jackets history — or maybe just the end of a remarkable turnaround. When they host the Nashville Predators on Saturday night in the final game on their schedule, the Blue Jackets still hold out hope of making the Stanley Cup playoffs. In order to make the playoffs, the Blue Jackets must beat floundering Nashville while seventh-place Detroit loses its regular-season finale in regulation at Dallas, also on Saturday and at the same time.

the national tournament. And he had the same sort of success this past season at Fredericktown. He said even though he hasn’t spent much time in Sidney, he feels like he’s going home, because of the similarities in Sidney’s program and his high school, Mt. Vernon. “We were about an hour from Columbus and we always had to travel south to play the big schools there,” he said. “Like Sidney travels to play the schools around Dayton. And Mt. Vernon was one of the smaller schools in our conference, like Sidney is.” Short said he’s coached and played different styles, so he wouldn’t commit on what he will bring to the Yellow Jackets. “It will all depend on the personnel,” he said. “I’ve coached and played both the fast and slow styles.” Courter said the committee liked Short’s interest in building an entire program, starting with the elementary level. “The only way to build a solid program is from the bottom up,” Short said. “To have that solid foundation, you have to start early. Hopefully we can build a lot of interest in the program.”

Hoying co-pitcher of the week in OAC Fort Loramie graduate Justin Hoying has been named the Ohio Athletic Conference CoPitcher of the Week for the week ending April 21 after he pitched a shutout for Capital in the first game of a doubleheader sweep over Wilmington. He struck out a career-high nine batters over seven innings and allowed just five hits while walking two. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s come a long way since missing the entire 2012 season following Tommy John surgery. He currently leads the team in starts with eight, in innings pitched at 43, and strikeouts with 31. He is 3-3 with a 4.60 earned run average for the Crusaders. Wes Hunsucker, Anna Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been quite a week for Hunsucker at St. Francis in Indiana. He had two outstanding outings on the mound for the baseball team, and participated in the spring football game at the school. In baseball, he pitched back-to-back complete games, starting with a 12-2 victory over Marian. He went all seven and allowed just five hits and two runs, both earned. He struck out three and walked

three. He followed that up Thursday night with another route-going performance in a 1-0 shutout of Mt. Vernon. He allowed just three hits, struck out five and walked only one. And in football, despite not throwing a football at any practice this spring, he played the first two series for the Blue team, completed five of eight passes for 73 yards and a touchdown, and had one rush for 12 yards. Katie Borchers, Russia Borchers ran for Ohio State in the Jesse Owens Classic last week and had a good day, winning the 800 in 2:10.76 and placing 10th in the 1500 meters in 4:34.34. Janel Olberding, Fort Loramie Olberding also ran for the Lady Bucks in the Jesse Owens Classic last week. She was second to

Browns traded their fourth-round pick (No. 104) and fifth-round (No. 164) to the Dolphins for Miami's fourth-round pick (No. 111) and a seventh-rounder (No. 217). Bess spent five seasons with Miami, catching at least 50 passes each season. He had 61 receptions for 778 yards and one touchdown in 13 games last season. Bess gives the Browns quality depth at a troublesome position the past few seasons.

Zimmerman one-hits Reds WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Jordan Zimmermann was terrific in his second complete game of the season and the Washington Nationals limited the Cincinnati Reds to one hit for the second straight game in a 1-0 victory on Friday night. Zimmermann (4-1) struck out four and walked one while improving to 3-0 with a 1.36 ERA in five career games against Cincin-

Browns get Bess in deal with Miami BEREA, Ohio (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Cleveland Browns have acquired veteran wide receiver Davone Bess in a trade from the Miami Dolphins. The deal, which has been rumored for several days, canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be finalized until Bess passes a physical, Browns general manager Michael Lombardi said Friday night. Lombardi added the Browns have discussed giving Bess a three-year contract extension. To get Bess, the

nati. The right-hander needed only 91 pitches to record his third career complete game. It was the first time the Reds managed just one hit in consecutive games since July 5-6, 1900, against Brooklyn, according to research by the Elias Sports Bureau that the team provided. The Houston Astros from Sept. 14-15, 2008, were the last team with such a streak.

Borchers in the 800 in 2:11.92 and also ran on the 1600 relay team that came in first in 3:44.36. Calvin Milligan, Sidney Milligan is on the golf team at Wooster and last week in the Nye Invitational won by Wittenberg, he had rounds of 83 and 79 for a 162, good enough for a tie for 23rd out of 90 golfers. Tammy Berger, Versailles A third area member of the OSU womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s track team, Berger placed eighth in the 1500 meters last week in 4:32.71. Danielle Monnier, Houston Monnier pitched well again, but got no run support for Wilmington. She went all seven in a 1-0 loss to Muskingum, allowing just one hit while striking out three and walking none. The lone run was unearned.

She also pitched in relief in the second game, going 42/3 inning and allowing seven hits and striking out three. On the season, she is 12-5 with a 1.31 earned run average. Ben Hogenkamp, Minster Hogenkamp tied with a teammate for medalist honors as Wittenbergâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s golf team took first place in the Nye Invitational hosted by Wooster. Hogenkamp had rounds of 76 and 74 for a 150. Mitchell Bensman, Russia Bensman had a good week for Gallaudet in Washington, D.C. this week. He was 1-for-3 against Penn State Abington, 2-for-2 with two RBIs against Penn State-Berks, and 1-for-3 against the same team. His two RBIs both came on singles to center. Aaron Dinzeo, Sidney Dinzeo reached the league qualifying standard in the 1500 meters while competing in the event for the first time in nearly two years. He shattered his previous personal best in the event by nearly 20 seconds and placed second overall with a time of 3:58.28 at the Ed Frye Invitational hosted by IUP. Then late Thursday

night, Dinzeo ran a personal-best time and placed fifth in the 10,000 meters at the Penn Relays. He crossed in 29:24.01 in a field of over 40 of the top distance runners from all NCAA divisions. With his performance, he improved his NCAA provisionalqualifying time by over one minute and now boasts the fastest time in the Pennsylvania State Conference Athletic (PSAC) this season by 21-plus seconds. A two-time NCAA AllAmerican, Dinzeo holds the seventh-fastest time in the event this year in NCAA Division II. Jon Richard, Versailles Richard moved into third place on the alltime list for career innings pitched at Xavier after going eight innings in a 5-3 win over Charlotte. He allowed six hits, three runs, all earned, walked three and fanned two. He has now pitched 329 innings in his career at Xavier. David Freytag, Lehman Freytag and his Franciscan University teammates in Steubenville the Allegheny won Mount Collegiate Conference title with a 5-2 victory over Penn StateBehrend in menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tennis.

Freytag is now a member of the very first team in any sport at Franciscan to qualify for NCAA competition. Alex Lochard, Sidney Lochard is a member of the baseball team at Wittenberg. He has seen action in 18 games and started 16. He is 10-for47 with a .234 average, with one double and four RBIs so far. Ashley DeMange, Versailles DeMange competed for the University of Dayton in the Jesse Owens Classic at Ohio State and placed eighth in the pole vault at a height of 12-3.5 Martin Holdren, New Bremen Holdren is a member of the menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s golf team at Olivet College, and he competed in the Nye Invitational at Wooster last week.

She has pitched 262/3 innings, allowed 35 hits, 29 runs, 18 earned runs, with 21 strikeouts and 14 walks.

Bengals draft RB Bernard CINCINNATI (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Bengals turned the first two days of their NFL draft into an upgrade for the offense, resigning right tackle Andre Smith while bringing a tight end and a running back aboard. Things went so well that they felt free to take a chance on a track starturned-defensive end from Estonia in the second round. Smith had been the only missing piece of the starting offense from last season, when the Bengals reached the playoffs for the second year in a row as a wild card and lost to Houston. The unrestricted free agent finally decided to stay with Cincinnati, which drafted him in the first round in 2009. The defense has been the strength of the team, finishing sixth overall last season. The offense struggled in the big games, especially the playoff loss in Houston. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clear where they

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got a chance to get better. The Bengals took

Notre Dame tight end Tyler Eifert in the first round on Thursday night, giving quarterback Andy Dalton another proven pass catcher to complement Pro Bowl receiver A.J. Green.

They picked running back Giovani Bernard from North Carolina with the first of their two choices in the second round on Friday night. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking for a back to complement BenJarvus Green-Ellis, who is more of a straight-ahead runner. Bernard was the first running back taken in the draft. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You can plug me into any type of situation, plug me into any type of offense,â&#x20AC;? Bernard said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a guy whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to accept my role, whatever the role is going to be.â&#x20AC;? The pick completed a deal for quarterback Carson Palmer that has worked out wonderfully for Cincinnati. The Bengals traded Palmer to Oakland midway through the 2011 season for the Raidersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; firstround pick last year and their second-round pick this year. They got cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick in 2012.

SHS netters win 3-2 The Sidney High tennis team beat Trotwood 3-2 Friday. Sidneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wins came from Dan Temple at first

singles, Neal Dev and Oakk Wynn at first doubles, and Trevor Thomson and Connor Bowers at second doubles.

Hospital seeks entries for photo contest ST. MARYS â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Joint Township District Memorial Hospital, part of Grand Lake Health System, in conjunction with Arts Place, The Collective Center, has announced a photography contest aimed at exhibiting the images of local photographers, both amateur and professional. In discussing interior decorating for the new ambulatory surgical unit currently under construction at Joint Township District Memorial Hospital, 200 St. Clair St., it was decided that photographs depicting scenes from Auglaize and Mercer counties should be used as artwork to decorate many of the interior spaces of the new wing. To do so, it was suggested images by local photographers be used. And so the basis for the contest was conceived.

Photographers can enter photographs online, without the expense of printing, mounting and framing images. Acknowledging that most pictures are now taken and stored digitally, the contest is being conducted totally online. To enter, go to the website http://www.grandlakehealth.org/ and click on the Photography Contest icon. Fill out the registration form, and then upload images. There is no fee to enter. The winning images will be enlarged and printed courtesy of the hospital. The winning photographs will also be displayed Oct. 18 to Nov. 16 at Arts Place, The Collective Center, 142 E. Spring St. All winners will be honored at a special reception, and plaques recognizing the photographer will be attached to the images. In ad-

dition, cash awards totaling $1,450 are being offered. The contest is open to all area residents, but images must have been taken in either Auglaize or Mercer counties. Organizers are specifically looking for images that reflect the intrinsic and natural beauty found within the borders of the two counties. Although entries may include people in public settings, actual portraits of people will not be considered. Instead, they recommend that entries reflect the essence of our local area. Entrants are limited to five photographs. Entries must be submitted by May 31. For more details and additional information, read and/or download a prospectus from the website at http://www.grandlakehealth.org/.

Disaster meeting planned May 8 MINSTER â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A disaster preparedness meeting will be held May 8 at 7 p.m. in the Minster Middle School. Personnel who will give 10-minute presentations include Troy Anderson, Auglaize County Emergency Management; Dale Dues, fire chief; Randy Houseworth, police chief; Kendra Kemper, rescue squad president; Ken Cline, American Red Cross; and Don Harrod, village administrator. Cline will have a video and pamphlets to distribute. A question-and-answer period will be held at the end of the presentations. With tanker trucks carrying dangerous chemicals passing through the village daily and the possibility of other disasters, such as a tornado, meeting organizers are seeking to have a plan in place should a disaster occur. It was noted that during a past fire at a local plastics company, there was lack of information on shelters and other issues.

ARLO & JANIS

HOROSCOPE BY FRANCES DRAKE For Sunday, April 28, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Something will happen today that makes you aware of your financial limitations. You might be disappointed that you don’t have enough money to buy something or do what you want. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Relations with partners and close friends feel stilted and very arm’slength today. You might even feel lonely. Fear not, this is just a passing feeling. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) It’s easy to feel cut off from others today, and ironically, you might be the one who is building a fence that you can hide behind. Many people find it difficult to relate to others today. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Someone might be critical of your efforts, especially in a group situation. (Perhaps this person is older or more experienced.) Don’t let this get you down. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Difficulties with authority figures, including parents, are likely today. This is a poor day to ask for permission or approval for anything. (Wait for another day.) VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) You feel worried today because you are second-guessing yourself or doubting your abilities. We all feel this way from time to time; fortunately, this feeling will pass in 48 hours. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) You might be disappointed in your fair share of something. Or you might not be able to use something that someone else owns. Wait a few days, and this could change. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Discussions with friends and partners today might perplex you because these people block your plans. (Don’t expect too much, because people are not cooperative today.) SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Bosses or more experienced co-workers might be critical of your efforts today. Don’t let this get you. (People feel critical about everything today.) CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Children might feel like an increased burden or responsibility today. Do not fret. Many people feel increased responsibilities today in different areas of their lives. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Someone might oppose your plans to make changes at home or your suggestions for the family. This opposition is just a temporary thing. Just bide your time for a few days. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) You might find it difficult to communicate with others today. You also might have to make compromises. Just accept this, and do the best you can. Tomorrow is an easier day. YOU BORN TODAY You’re aware of your appearance, and you dress with care. You have charm, personality and determination. You’re an excellent negotiator, and you deal well with the public. You are an excellent friend and a reliable parent. You are also a caring boss. In the year ahead, your primary focus will be on partnerships and close friendships. Birthdate of: Jenna Ushkowitz, actress; Jay Leno, TV host; Terry Pratchett, author.

CAUTION Whether posting or responding to an advertisement, watch out for offers to pay more than the advertised price for the item. Scammers will send a check and ask the seller to wire the excess through Western Union (possibly for courier fees). The scammer's check is fake and eventually bounces and the seller loses the wired amount. While banks and Western branches are Union trained at spotting fake checks, these types of scams are growing increasingly sophisticated and fake checks often aren't caught for weeks. Funds wired through Western Union or MoneyGram are irretrievable and virtually untraceable. If you have questions regarding scams like these or others, please contact the Ohio Attorney General’s office at (800)282-0515.

I’d like the tears of those who grieve to dry before the sun, Of happy memories that I leave when life is done.

In Loving Memory We remember those who have passed away and are especially dear to us. On Monday, May 27, 2013, we will publish a special section devoted to those who are gone, but not forgotten. Verse Selections: 1.

9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15.

In our hearts your memory lingers, sweetly tender, fond and true. There is not a day, dear Mother/Father, that we do not think of you. Thank you for loving and sharing, for giving and for caring. God bless you and keep you, until we meet again. Your life was a blessing, your memory a treasure. You are loved beyond words and missed beyond measure. Those we love we never lose, for always they will be, loved remembered, treasured, always in our memory. It broke our hearts to lose you, but you did not go alone. For part of us went with you, the day God called you home. My heart still aches in sadness, my silent tears still flow. For what it meant to lose you, no one will ever know. Memory is a lovely lane, where hearts are ever true. A lane I so often travel down, because it leads to you. Oh how we wish he/she was here today, to see all the blessings we have. Yet somehow you know that he/she is guiding us on our paths. Tenderly we treasure the past with memories that will always last. Remembering you on this day, comforted by so many memories. In the hearts of those who loved you, you will always be there. If love could have saved you, you would have lived forever. . Loved always, sadly missed. Forever remembered, forever missed. Suffer little children to come unto me.

CHIHUAHUAS, Relocating out of state and we need a very loving patient home for our two indoor Chihuahuas.

Male (Mercedes) is a 7 year old Blue Chihuahua who can have a bit of temperment - does not do well with kids but he is loving and great companion for the right person. He is housebroken but likes to mark his territory so he always wears belly bands which will be supplied. $100 for the pair (negotiable). We would love to keep them together as they love each other very much! (937)451-2335 after 3pm.
