Putting himself in danger by standing outside the safety of a bunker, directed fire from U.S. planes to keep the ARVN troops from being overrun. An open house honoring Thatcher will begin at 1 p.m. Sunday at the Sidney VFW Hall, 2841 Wapakoneta Ave. Besides the Silver Star, Thatcher also received the Bronze Star from the Vietnamese, for leading ARVN forces to safety. After the war, he worked for the Veterans Administration in Dayton for 25 years and retired in 2000. He wrote a book about his experiences in Vietnam, “Cut on Six Sides.” Someone who knew him at the VA and who had read his book nominated Thatcher for the Ohio Military Hall of Fame honor. Thatcher and his wife rent their 73-acre farm and manage an apple orchard. They process apple cider for sale.

For every child who drowns, another four receive emergency care for nonfatal submersion injuries. “In light of these sobering statistics, the need for water-safety training is critical,” said Jeff Billiel, executive editor and publisher of the Daily News. Over the years of sponsoring Splash, we have learned of real situations in which lives were saved and tragedy averted as a result of what was learned in the classes.Splash is a vital program that all young children should attend.

Accidental drug overdose Guardsman addresses ruled cause of death Sidney Legion An accidental drug overdose has been ruled the cause of death for a Sidney man was found dead in his home March 16. Shelby County Coroner Dr. David McDonald made the ruling in the death of Matthew Kent Huffman, 23, 422 Edgewood St., after receiving a toxicology report t that revealed high levels of heroin and diphenhydramine (generic form of Benadryl) in his body. An
autopsy was performed by the Montgomery County Coroner’s office and a toxicology report was ordered in the cased. In another coroner’s case, McDonald said the preliminary report indicates Matthew Hailey, 39, of 318 Mill St., Botkins, died of pulmonary congestion and edema, but a final ruling has not been made. A toxicology report will be conducted, with results
not expected for several weeks. Hailey was found dead at his home at approximately 9:30 p.m. Sunday. McDonald also reported suicide by hanging as the apparent cause of death of Christopher Clinton Jones, 43, 113 Wilkinson Ave. He died Sunday at his residence. McDonald said a final ruling has not been made in the death.
Kent State Guardsman dies RAVENNA (AP) — Larry Shafer, a longtime public servant for the city of Ravenna who was a guardsman at Kent State University during the 1970 deadly shootings, died Friday, his family said. He was 67. Shafer’s death came a
day before the 43rd anniversary of the gunfire at the northeast Ohio college. His cause of death wasn’t known. immediately Mayor Joe Bica told the Kent-Ravenna RecordCourier newspaper that Shafer died during surgery. Kent State was the
scene of Vietnam War protests May 4, 1970, when the Ohio National Guard opened fire on students. Four students died and nine were injured in the shootings, which contributed to the change in the public’s attitude toward the war.
On Tuesday evening, Sidney residents may have seen a Blackhawk helicopter flying overhead as the crew made its approach to the Sidney Airport carrying Assistant Adjutant Gen. John Harris Jr. of the Ohio National Guard. He was the guest speaker that night at the Sidney American Legion post. National Guard leaders make visits to generate local partnerships that include leadership from local military units and family readiness volunteers, local agencies, volunteer organizations and local chapters of veteran service organizations. Phyllis Miller, the Troop and Family Assistance/Employment Assistance Specialist for the National Guard, pro-
vided introductions. Her office is based out of Kettering. Harris opened his remarks with an acknowlof the edgement importance of Ohio’s initiatives in support of not only the Army, but also the Navy, Marines, Air Force and Coast Guard. He then spoke about deployment and postdeployment schedules of Ohio military personnel. Harris stressed not only the great achievements of those deployed, but also the high cost of deployments through the ultimate sacrifice of service members in Iraq and Afghanistan. Harris noted that returning troop schedules are ramping up, with some coming home sooner than expected, while those previously
scheduled for deployment are being postponed or canceled. He said the focus has shifted to what will become of the National Guard and its forces. Discussion centered around sequestration, personnel issues are on the table for consideration. Harris remarked that while the National Guard has a strong presence in the Pentagon, budget issues primarily deal with the eventual downsizing and revamping the military structure as a vital force in meeting the demands of the armed forces in the 21st century. He said no one knows what the future holds for the Department of Defense and the National Guard. He said he expects Ohio will see some changes.

NATION/WORLD TODAY IN HISTORY BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Today is Saturday, May 4, the 124th day of 2013. There are 241 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On May 4, 1776, Rhode Island declared its freedom from England, two months before the Declaration of Independence was adopted. On this date: • In 1626, Dutch explorer Peter Minuit landed on present-day Manhattan Island. • In 1862, after a monthlong siege, Union forces prepared to unleash a massive bombardment against Confederate troops at Yorktown, Va., only to discover the Confederates had slipped away during the night. • In 1886, at Haymarket Square in Chicago, a labor demonstration for an 8-hour work day turned into a deadly riot when a bomb exploded. • In 1904, the United States took over construction of the Panama Canal. • In 1916, responding to a demand from President Woodrow Wilson, Germany agreed to limit its submarine warfare. (However, Germany resumed unrestricted submarine warfare the following year.) • In 1932, mobster Al Capone, convicted of income-tax evasion, entered the federal penitentiary in Atlanta. (Capone was later transferred to Alcatraz Island.) • In 1942, the Battle of the Coral Sea, the first naval clash fought entirely with carrier aircraft, began in the Pacific during World War II. (The outcome was considered a tactical victory for Imperial Japan, but ultimately a strategic one for the Allies.) • In 1959, the first Grammy Awards ceremony was held at the Beverly Hilton Hotel. Domenico Modugno won Record of the Year and Song of the Year for “Nel Blu Dipinto Di Blu (Volare)”; Henry Mancini won Album of the Year for “The Music from Peter Gunn.” • In 1961, the first group of “Freedom Riders” left Washington, D.C., to challenge racial segregation on interstate buses and in bus terminals. • In 1970, Ohio National Guardsmen opened fire during an anti-war protest at Kent State University, killing four students and wounding nine others. • In 1980, Marshal Josip Broz Tito, president of Yugoslavia, died three days before his 88th birthday.

A pirate mix-up LONDON (AP) — Arrrrgh! That must’ve been embarrassing. A man held hostage by Somali pirates says he was bemused when he encountered a crowd of eye patchwearing, plastic sword-wielding women on the lecture circuit earlier this month. Colin Darch, 75, said Thursday that his host, a southwest England chapter of the education-focused Women’s Institute, seemed to have thought he was going to speak about historical ‘shiver me timbers’ pirates, rather than the modern-day bandits terrorizing the Indian Ocean. Darch, a retired sailor who has written a book and given lectures about his 2008 kidnapping, says his audience was sheepish over the mix up. He says, “I think they were worried I might be a bit upset that they were trivializing it, but I thought it was funny.”

California wildfire grows BY RAQUEL MARIA DILLON Associated Press CAMARILLO, Calif. (AP) — It seemed that each time winddriven embers sparked new blazes or a wall of fire leaped a Southern California hillside and came charging toward hundreds of homes, an army of firefighters was right there to either douse or direct the flames away from humanity. As a result, the fire that broke out Thursday quickly moved through the Camarillo Springs area without destroying a single home. Firefighters were hoping for the same success on Friday, as the fire raged out of control miles away near the coast. Fifteen structures in the area 50 miles northwest of Los Angeles sustained some damage, and other homes in a wooded area were being threatened Friday by the blaze that had roared across 43 square miles. Some 900 firefighters using engines, aircraft, bulldozers and other equipment had it just 20 percent contained. Since daybreak, the fire has nearly tripled in size. “That’s the way this fire has behaved, it has been a very fast-moving, feisty fire,” said Ventura County Fire Department spokesman Bill Nash. To the north of the fire, parts of the Newbury Park community of Thousand Oaks are under mandatory and voluntary evacuations, Nash said. Overnight, Nash said fire-

A FIREFIGHTING helicopter makes a drop on a wildfire, Fridayin Thousand Oaks, Calif. A huge Southern California wildfire burned through coastal wilderness to the beach on Friday then stormed back through canyons toward inland neighborhoods when winds reversed direction. fighters planned to stockpile resources along a road that lies between the fire and Malibu, protecting homes on the fire’s eastern front. Of the thousands of homes threatened by flames, 15 have been damaged. The good fortune of the Camarillo Springs area wasn’t the result of luck or clairvoy-
ance by firefighters. It came after years of planning and knowing that sooner or later just such a conflagration was going to strike. “When developers want to go into an area that is wildland, it’s going to present a unique fire problem,” county fire spokesman Tom Kruschke said. “And you have to be pre-
pared for that.” Camarillo Springs, which was nothing more than rugged backcountry when homes began to go up there 30 years ago, was well prepared. Its homes were built with sprinkler systems and fireproof exteriors from the roofs to the foundations. Residents are required to clear brush and other combustible materials to within 100 feet of the dwellings, and developers had to make sure the cul-de-sacs that fill the area’s canyons were built wide enough to accommodate the emergency vehicles seen on TV racing in to battle the flames. “All of our rooftops are concrete tile and all of the exteriors are stucco,” said Neal Blaney, a board member of The Springs Homeowners Association and a 15-year resident. “There’s no wood, so there’s almost no place for a flying ember to land and ignite something.” When the blaze broke out, Blaney said, volunteer emergency officers in the neighborhood gave the first alert to residents. As a result, when the flames got close, residents were ready to get out of the way of firefighters. Residents in the area are also particularly vigilant about clearing brush from the hillsides next to their yards, Kruschke said. Normally, firefighters remind people in such areas to do that every June, but in Camarillo Springs people do it every few months. The work paid off this week.
Suspect died of gunshot wounds, blunt trauma BOSTON (AP) — A suspect in the Boston Marathon bombings died from gunshot wounds and blunt trauma to his head and torso, a funeral director said Friday. Worcester funeral home owner Peter Stefan has 26year-old Tamerlan Tsarnaev’s body and read details from his death certificate. The certificate cites Tsarnaev’s “gunshot wounds of torso and extremities” and lists the time of his death as 1:35 a.m. on April 19, four days after the deadly bombing, Stefan said. Tsarnaev died after a gunfight with authorities who had launched a massive manhunt for him and his brother, ethnic Chechens from Russia who came to the United States about a decade ago. Po-
lice have said he ran out of ammunition before his younger brother dragged his body under a vehicle while fleeing. Tsarnaev’s family on Friday was making arrangements for his funeral as investigators searched the woods near a college attended by 19-year-old Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, who was captured less than a day after his brother’s death. The funeral parlor in Worcester is familiar with Muslim services and said it will handle arrangements for Tamerlan Tsarnaev, whose body was released by the state medical examiner Thursday night. The body initially was taken to a North Attleborough
funeral home, where it was greeted by about 20 protesters. Stefan, owner of Graham Putnam and Mahoney Funeral Parlors in Worcester, an hour’s drive west of Boston, said everybody deserves a dignified burial service no matter the circumstances of his or her death and he is prepared for protests. “My problem here is trying to find a gravesite. A lot of people don’t want to do it. They don’t want to be involved with this,” said Stefan, who said dozens of protesters gathered outside his funeral home, upset with his decision to handle the funeral. “I keep bringing up the point of Lee Harvey Oswald, Timothy McVeigh or Ted Bundy. Somebody had to do those, too.”
Meanwhile, two U.S. officials said Dzhokhar Tsarnaev told interrogators that he and his brother initially considered setting off their bombs on July Fourth. Boston police said they planned to review security procedures for the Independence Day Boston Pops concert and fireworks display, which draws a crowd of more than 500,000 annually and is broadcast to a national TV audience. Authorities plan to look at security procedures for large events held in other cities, notably the massive New Year’s Eve celebration held each year in New York City’s Times Square, Massachusetts state police spokesman David Procopio said.
Official says disaster not ‘really serious’ DHAKA, Bangladesh (AP) — The death toll in the factorybuilding collapse in Bangladesh rose to more than 530 on Saturday, a day after the country’s finance minister downplayed the impact of the disaster on the garment industry, saying he didn’t think it was “really serious.” Finance Minister Abul Maal Abdul Muhith spoke as the government cracked down on those it blamed for the disaster in the Dhaka suburb of Savar. It suspended Savar’s mayor and arrested an engineer who had called for the building’s evacuation last week, but was also ac-
cused of helping the owner add three illegal floors to the eightstory structure. The building owner was arrested earlier. The government appears to be attempting to fend off accusations that it is in part to blame for the tragedy because of weak oversight of the building’s construction. During a visit to the Indian capital, New Delhi, Muhith said the disaster would not harm Bangladesh’s garment industry, by far the country’s biggest source of export income. “The present difficulties … well, I don’t think it is really se-
rious — it’s an accident,” he said. “And the steps that we have taken in order to make sure that it doesn’t happen, they are quite elaborate and I believe that it will be appreciated by all.” The government made similar promises after a garment factory fire five months ago that killed 112, saying it would inspect factories for safety and pull the licenses of those that failed. However, that plan has yet to be implemented. Asked if he was worried that foreign retailers might pull orders from his country, Muhith
JOBS rowing costs and lift the stock market. The stock market soared after the Labor Department issued the April jobs report Friday. The Dow Jones industrial average closed up 142 points, or nearly 1 percent, to a record a record 14,973. It briefly broke 15,000 for the first time. Coming after a poor March jobs report and some recent data showing economic weakness, the April figures helped ease fears that U.S. hiring might be slumping for a fourth straight year. “Businesses haven’t lost confidence yet,” said Sung Won Sohn, an economist at the Martin Smith School of Business at California State University. “Consumers are feeling better. The decent employment gains will add to the optimism and help lift
said he wasn’t: “These are individual cases of … accidents. It happens everywhere.” The official death toll from the April 24 collapse reached 531 Saturday and was expected to climb, making it likely the worst-ever garment-factory accident. It surpassed long-ago disasters such as New York’s Triangle Shirtwaist factory fire, which killed 146 workers in 1911, and more recent tragedies such as a 2012 fire that killed about 260 people in Pakistan and one in Bangladesh that same year that killed 112.
From Page 1 future spending.” The Labor Department revised upward its estimate of job gains in February and March by a combined 114,000. It raised its estimate for February job gains from 268,000 to 332,000 and for March from 88,000 to 138,000. Excluding May 2010, when the figures were skewed by temporary Census hiring, February’s gain was the most since November 2005. The economy has created an average of 208,000 jobs a month from November through April — well above the monthly average of 138,000 for the previous six months. The stronger job growth suggests that the federal budget cutting “does not mean recession,” said John Silvia, chief economist at Wells Fargo. “It does not mean a
dramatic slowdown.” The unemployment rate edged down from 7.6 percent in March and has fallen 0.4 percentage point since the start of the year, though it remains high. To help spur borrowing, the Fed has said it plans to keep its benchmark interest rate at a record low near zero at least until unemployment falls to 6.5 percent. The last time unemployment was lower than it is now was in December 2008, when it was 7.3 percent. One cautionary note in the employment report: Most of the biggest job gains were in lower-paying fields, such as hotels and restaurants, which added 45,000 jobs, and retail stores, which added 29,000. By contrast, construction companies and governments cut jobs. Manufacturing employment was flat.
Some higher-paying sectors added workers. For example, professional and technical services, which include jobs in accounting, engineering and architecture, added 23,000 jobs. Education and health services gained 44,000. Average hourly pay rose. But because employees in the private sector worked fewer hours, average weekly paychecks declined. But over the past year, total pay after adjusting for inflation is up a healthy 2.1 percent, economists said. That should help boost consumer spending in coming months. The job growth is occurring while the U.S. economy is growing modestly but steadily. It grew at a 2.5 percent annual rate in the January-March quarter, fueled by the strongest consumer spending in two years.

costly locking-type shoestrings, which make tie shoes into slip-ons, I recently purchased a handful of “cord locks” on the Internet. They are very inexpensive — a few cents each. These things will look familiar, and they are so easy to use. Just lace the shoe as usual, and slide a cord lock on the ends of both sides of the laces. From there, tie a small knot at the end of the laces, and use the cord lock to slide the laces tighter or looser.

the past, Borchers said. Since January 2012, no new 100-watt bulbs have been produced. In 2013, the 75-watt bulb will be phased out and 40-watt and 60-watt bulbs will be discontinued next year. The last United States incandescent bulb factory closed on Sept. 24, 2010. Borchers believes that LED lights will be the lighting choice in the future. He feels that most people will not be able to tell the difference between incandescent and LED. The only downside at this point is cost: around $20 for one LED bulb. But LED bulbs are designed to last 25,000 hours compared to around 700 for the average incandescent light bulb. Prior to Borchers’ remarks, President Phil Warnecke called the meeting to order. The invocation was given by Dave Chivington and the group was lead in song by Ralph Bornhorst, accompanied by Don Tangeman on the piano.

Doug Borchers, vice president of Dickman Supply, was the guest speaker at the Kiwanis Club of Sidney on April 24. Borchers said that in today’s environment, green energy solutions are a hot topic. Consumption and energy costs are on the rise. As an example, electric rates have risen 45 percent over the past 10 years. In addition, due to environmental concerns, no new coalfired power plants have come on-line in the past five years. These coal fired power plants are the No. 1 contributor to increased carbon emissions. Something as simple as lighting changes can have a major impact. Borchers used Dickman Supply as an example. In 2008, the firm retrofitted all of its lighting and installed occupancy/motion sensors. As a result, energy usage dropped by 14 percent and energy expenses dropped 6 percent. Incandescent lights are becoming a thing of

Chamber speaker Minster Life Squad presents says joy is a choice awards at annual dinner BY PATRICIA ANN SPEELMAN pspeelman@civitasmedia.com NEW BREMEN — Joy is a choice. That’s what 70 area employees learned during the Southwest Auglaize County Chamber of Commerce’s annual staff appreciation luncheon April 24 at the Faith Alliance Church. Guest speaker and chamber trustee Christy Shell, who owns Zeal Coaching in Minster, presented a talk, “Hearts Ablaze: How Joy Ignites Your Life,” following the luncheon, which was catered by Speedway Lanes. “You have an inner genius that is uniquely yours to offer the world,” Shell said. She recounted her experience as a camp counselor and director, the mother of a daughter with Asperger’s syndrome, and a corporate life coach. But in 2008, when the recession hit, corporations stopped hiring consultants. “I knew I’d have to do something else,” Shell told the group. “I thought, ‘Go back to what you’re good at. Go back to what brings you joy.’ I rebranded myself and opened an office in Minster.” She now offers workshops and oneon-one sessions in leadership development, career selection, and turning life’s obstacles into opportunities. She works with children and adults.
“Hiding your awesomeness under a basket serves no one,” she said. “Joy connects you to your best self. Following joy offers a path to heart-fulness.” Her PowerPoint presentation included slides that illustrated the downward spiral fear leads people into and the upward spiral that positive outlooks promote. “Joy is a battle against fear,” she said. “When we get absorbed in fear, we’re missing joy. Joy brings us up and makes us a better version of ourselves.” She also discussed how fear and joy affect people’s health. According to Shell, when someone says something that isn’t true, his immune system drops. She doesn’t watch television news because, she said, the brain believes whatever is let into it. “Circumstances can trigger thoughts, which cause feelings, which cause results, which cause actions,” she said. “We usually create what we were afraid of to begin with. The secret is to choose the mind-set you want. Do more things that bring you joy.” Shell was introduced by chamber President Scott Frey. Emmy’s Bridal provided an informal fashion show during the luncheon. Displays by several chamber members were open before the meal to promote their businesses.
Welding course offered plan to improve the skillset and qualifications of workers in the Manufacturing sector. It is the goal of this workforce development effort to make visible the varied types of training that are available to the community and where possible, bring manufacturing training to the local area. Through this effort, a talent pool of qualified employees can be developed that will assist our communities and ensure a stronger economy. Through discussions with manufacturing businesses, welding was identified as one of the most in-demand skills in the region. For this reason, the partners of the WCOWDI
developed a program that met the basic skills of the trade. Thanks to participating companies and organizations like Parker-Hannafin, the Minster Machine Co., Crown Equipment Corp., Precision Reflex, Vectren, New Bremen Community Improvement Corp. and Mercer County Development, scholarships are available for candidates who qualify. For more information about courses available through the WCOWDI, contact Angela Hamberg, economic development director, village of New Bremen, at (419-629-2447) or email angela.hamberg@newbremen.com.
Elections director to leave Jewelry sale set WAPAKONETA — The director of the Auglaize County Board of Elections will be stepping down from her position after seven years.

Fran Engle, board chairwoman, said applications for a replacement will be accepted until May 13, then interviews will begin. Campbell is a Democrat, and by state law, boards of elections must equally represent the two major parties, so her replacement will have to be a Democrat.

Nursing: The Health of a Nation This year’s theme for National Nursing Week is a continuation of the campaign “Nursing: The Health of a Nation”. Without nurses, we would suffer through longer waits at our publicly funded health institutions, our elderly and bed-ridden would be forced to endure the agony of clinic waiting rooms, and our children and teens would know a lot less about how to keep in good health. Sponsored by the Canadian Nurses Association, National Nursing Week is a celebration of those who work in public health clinics, hospitals and clinics, and private and home-care organizations. CNA president Judith Shamian says it is a time to “acknowledge and celebrate nursing — a profession in which going above and beyond is a daily occurrence.” The CAN represents just over 145,000 registered nurses who work on the front lines and behind the scenes. Not only do they assist physicians in administering direct care, they work to educate community members about hygiene, safe sex practices, disease control, and disease prevention. They are the front-line care givers in hospital emergency rooms, medical clinics, learning institutions, and homes for the elderly. In many of Canada’s remote northern communities, often the only health care practitioner who lives on-site and treats people is a registered nurse or nurse practitioner.

Cardinal income climbs DUBLIN (AP) — Cardinal Health Inc.’s fiscal third-quarter net income climbed nearly 4 percent, as a $64 million tax settlement gain helped the health care products distributor balance the loss of a key client. The Dublin company also said Thursday that it was hiking its 2013 earnings forecast. Company shares climbed in morning trading. Cardinal said an agreement with tax authorities led to a revaluation of a deferred tax liability, which led to the gain. That helped counter a 10 percent drop in revenue to $22.1 billion from the com-
pany’s largest segment, pharmaceutical. The decline was driven in part by Express Scripts Holding Co.’s decision not to renew a contract with Cardinal. Express Scripts is the nation’s largest pharmacy benefits manager. Cardinal distributes pharmaceuticals and medical supplies and makes products like gloves and gowns for surgery. Overall, Cardinal earned $345 million, or $1 per share, in the quarter. That compares with net income of $333, or 95 cents per share, in last year’s quarter. Adjusted earnings totaled $1.20 per share.
Total revenue fell 9 percent to $24.55 billion. Analysts surveyed by FactSet expected, on average, earnings of 96 cents per share, on $24.75 billion in revenue.

HOROSCOPE BY FRANCES DRAKE For Sunday, May 5, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Shake off criticism and gloom! You can improve your job, or you can get a better job. This is also a good day to repair something you own. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) You can improve your appearance and health by adopting a new diet or exercise regimen. Since you’re keen to turn over a new leaf, just do it! GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Behind-the-scenes research can yield answers today or information you’ve been looking for. Study and ask questions to find what you want. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Rally your troops to get things done today. Group efforts, whether through classes or meetings, will create improvements all around you. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) This is a good day to formulate longterm goals about how to make changes for the future. Make sure these changes benefit others as well as yourself. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Some kind of study or travel will introduce reforms and give you information so that you can improve your life and the lives of others. Get further education or training if you can. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Today you can learn how to use the wealth and resources of others so that everyone can benefit. Do not work solely for your own good — today you have to share the wealth. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) You might discover reasons why your relationships are working or not working today. This could lead to creative discussions on how to make improvements. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Introduce reforms and better ways of doing things at work today. By the same token, think about how to improve your health, and encourage others to join you in your efforts. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) This is a powerful day for those involved in sports, the arts and the entertainment world. You can make improvements to whatever you do. Trust your gut instincts. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Work with others to make improvements at home and clean up the place. Whatever you do today will benefit others as well as yourself. Ask yourself how you can benefit the whole family. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) This is a good day to identify how to make improvements for the future by working with others. Talk to siblings, relatives and neighbors to get their input. YOU BORN TODAY You genuinely want to educate and inform others. You like to offer advice, especially in practical ways. You believe in alerting others to important truths. Fortunately, you do this very well because you have a convincing manner and charm. In the year ahead, something you’ve been involved with for the past nine years will diminish or end to make room for something new.

In complexion, hair and eye color and build, these kids are “chips off the block” of this one side of the family. Is it also likely that they will then have a propensity to inherit that family’s most prominent health conditions: arthritis, blood pressure, dental, eyesight and drinking tendencies? — G.P.

Of the conditions you mention, all of them have some genetic component, but there isn’t a way to tell about one characteristic from another, in general. In other words, even if your granddaughter is the very image of her aunt with high blood pressure, there is no guarantee that she will have high blood pressure too. Her risk is only somewhat higher than the average person’s.

What do you suggest? — DON’T WANT TO ENCOURAGE THEM IN ILLINOIS DEAR DON’T WANT TO ENCOURAGE: Your job is to support the students, not to condemn or endorse their predicament. Telling a pregnant girl she has ruined her life isn’t helpful. What you need to do is encourage the girl to get a diploma while she can. Too many girls fail to complete their high school education when they have a baby, and it impedes their ability to provide for themselves and their child because they are suited only for minimum-wage jobs. If you are enthusiastic about helping them, your positive attitude may be contagious and inspire them to succeed. DEAR ABBY: I wrote you a short time ago
about my marital problems, but I have to share this with you! My husband, who walked out on me, went to a counselor for a session. Then we went together, and he learned a few things about me and himself. He is coming back, and we are going to work harder at our marriage. We both recognize there were places where we needed to work together more, that he doesn’t need to be afraid to talk to me and I can be pretty understanding. Thank you so much for being there, Abby. I know you always recommend talking to a counselor before doing anything rash, and you are so right. It made all the difference. — GRATEFUL WIFE IN ARIZONA DEAR GRATEFUL: I’m pleased counseling helped to open the clogged lines of communication between you and your husband. While it may seem expensive, it’s far cheaper than a divorce can be, both emotionally and financially.

ST. CLOUD, Minn. (AP) — A man is accused of pretending to be a member of rock band Pink Floyd at a Minnesota hospital — and racking up as much as $100,000 in unpaid medical bills. Police say the 53-year-old Monticello man went to St. Cloud Hospital for treatment April 20. He claimed he was Pink Floyd singer-guitarist David Gilmour and that he didn’t have health insurance. He was treated and released, but not before signing an autograph. The St. Cloud Times says hospital security was suspicious about the man’s identity and his medical records were flagged. The man returned for more treatment several days later and, confronted by police, admitted he wasn’t Gilmour. The man was booked into the Stearns County Jail on a possible charge of theft by swindle.

HOROSCOPE
BY FRANCIS DRAKE What kind of day will tomorrow be? To find out what the stars say, read the forecast given for your birth sign. For Monday, May 6, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Penetrating discussions about possessions and how you earn your money could yield bright ideas about boosting your income or getting a better job. Keep your ears open. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) You’re interested in secrets and the subtext of everything today. You want to know what’s going on beneath the surface of things. You’re not interested in social chitchat. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) This is an excellent day to research anything or dig for answers. You have a wonderful mental focus and great powers of concentration. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You might meet someone today who has strong, powerful ideas that actually affect your mind. They might even cause you to change your goals. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Discussions with bosses, parents and authority figures will be powerful today. People are inclined to be obsessed about ideas, which is what you will no doubt discover. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) You can study anything today with great success, because you have wonderful powers of concentration. Furthermore, you won’t give up until you find what you’re looking for. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Intense discussions about shared property, inheritances, taxes and debt
will be productive today. Nobody’s going to pussyfoot around. People, including you, want the facts. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) This is a good day to join with others to learn something deep, perhaps about your beliefs. Whatever you talk about today will be serious and profound. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) You might see better ways of doing things at work today, or perhaps your research will yield these answers. Just focus on one thing, and stick with it. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) You might feel romantically obsessed about someone today (no matter what your age). And you might be just as obsessed about gambling or sports as well. Be careful. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Try to keep domestic discussions reasonable and grounded, because you might find you are totally obsessed with one idea today. Make room so that others can speak as well. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) You are so caught up in doing one particular thing that others might want to run away! Take a step back, take a deep breath, and observe yourself. Do what is necessary to be balanced. YOU BORN TODAY You know how to work with fantasy and imagination. You are sensitive and aware of the feelings of others. Personally, you constantly work to overcome obstacles. You like to take the side of the underdog and champion the cause. Your friendly exterior actually hides a complex personality. An exciting new cycle will begin for you in the coming year. Open any door!

REPLAY 50 years ago May 4, 1963 Delight Gilberg finished up her showing in the New Bremen Ladies League by blasting out a 552, aided by a fine 227 game, in the closing round at Ray Ann Lanes in New Bremen the other night.
25 years ago May 4, 1988 The Sidney girls fell four points shy of Tecumseh, but that didn’t downplay the effort of senior standout Liz Smith. Smith won four events, the 400, the 800 in 2:47.7, the 1600 in 6:14 and the 3200 in 12:44.9, the latter being the second best effort in the area this season.
10 years ago May 4, 2003 The Sidney girls competed in the Troy Invitational on Saturday. Fourth was the best the Lady Jackets could do, with Bekah Danklefsen placing that high in the high jump at 4-6, and the sprint medley relay team also placing fourth in 2:05.4. The team included Julie Bauer, Amy Shadoan, Andrea Bolin and Tracy Opitz.

Reds edge Cubs 6-5 Chapman roughed up trying to close it out in 9th CHICAGO (AP) — The Cincinnati Reds needed every clutch hit they could manage and almost every arm in their bullpen Friday to hold off the Chicago Cubs. Jay Bruce had two RBIs and scored a run, Shin-Soo Choo drove in a run and scored twice, and the Reds scored five times when two were out to hold off the Cubs 6-5. “The team that gets the two-out hits is the team that wins the games,” Reds manager Dusty Baker said after the Reds improved to 4-10 on the road. “Those are big, big clutch hits when you get two out. “We had some guys swing the bat pretty good today.” The Cubs scored three runs in the ninth against Reds closer Aroldis Chapman before reliever J.J. Hoover came on and struck out Darwin Barney with the bases loaded to pick up his first save. “You kind of train yourself for that as a reliever,” Hooever said. “All of these (relievers) can handle that situation. That’s what makes us a good staff.” Chapman allowed three straight hits to open the inning, then got two outs before giving up a bases-loaded walk to Nate Schierholtz and a two-run single to Welington Castillo as the Cubs

After pinch-hitter Cody Ransom drew a walk to load the bases again, Hoover replaced Chapman and preserved the win by getting Barney on a foul tip. Baker cited inactivity for Chapman’s problems in the ninth. “He hadn’t pitched in three days,” Baker said. “If you don’t pitch him it’s like if you’re pitching him too much.” Mike Leake (2-1) gave up two runs and nine hits in 5 23 innings, earned his fourth straight decision over the Cubs with help from five relievers. “It’s cold out there but I’m just trying to work on my strikes and work down in the zone,” Leake said. “The umpire was working well with me on that low ball. It was nice to try to attack that lower half of the zone.”
Devin Mesoraco, Todd Frazier and Zack Cozart also had run-scoring hits to help the Reds hand Carlos Villanueva (1-2) the loss. “It’s impossible to hit all the time — you wish they could and I wish they could,” Baker said. “Things go in cycles. I’m just hoping this is an upturn towards how we can play, how we can hit.” Leake cruised into the sixth with a 4-0 lead before giving up a consecutive oneout doubles to Anthony Rizzo and Alfonso Soriano, and an RBI single to Schierholtz. Leake was replaced one out later after giving up a single to Luis Valbuena that put runners at first and third. Reliever Sam Lecure got Barney on a pop up to second base to end the inning. Trailing 5-2 in the seventh, the Cubs loaded the bases with one out before reliever
Loramie routs Russia in softball FORT LORAMIE — Fort Loramie handed Russia its second straight County loss and left them two games behind in the standings with a 13-0 shutout Friday in a makeup girls softball game. The Lady Redskins pounded out 17 hits in running their record to 15-4 overall and 7-1 in the County. “We obviously hit very well tonight and that’s because we settled in and became very disciplined in the batters box.” said Loramie coach Brad Turner. Darian Rose had three hits, including a double and a home run to lead Loramie. Danielle Wehrman, Paige Ordean, Macy Turner and Kassidy Broaddrick all had two hits. Broaddrick also had a home run, Elizabeth Barhorst and Ordean both tripled, and Ordean, Megan Bollheimer and Janell Hoying all doubled. Turner drove in four runs and Rose three.

QUOTE OF THE DAY “Todd is one of those guys who could wake up on Christmas morning and hit a couple of doubles. I don't think his swing needs a whole lot of fine tuning.” — Rockies manager Walt Weiss after saying he doesn’t think Todd Helton will need rehab before returning from a forearm strain
ON THIS DATE IN 1935 — Omaha, ridden by Willis Saunders, wins the Kentucky Derby by 1½ lengths over Roman Soldier. Omaha goes on to win the Triple Crown. 2008 — In the eighth longest game in NHL history, Dallas eliminates San Jose in Game 6 of the Western Conference semifinals. In a game that lasts 5 hours, 17 minutes, the Stars beat the Sharks 2-1 after Brenden Morrow scores a power play goal 9:03 into the fourth overtime.
Sean Marshall struck out Soriano on a 3-2 pitch in the dirt and got Schierholtz to ground out to second. The Cubs came in last in the majors in batting with runners in scoring position at .167 and had more trouble. A day after going 0 for 7 in such situations against San Diego, the Cubs were 0 for 4 until Soriano’s RBI double in the sixth. Still, the Cubs left 12 runners on base. Cincinnati chased Villanueva with two out in the sixth after RBI doubles by Bruce and Mesoraco for a 4-0 lead. Michael Bowden relieved Villanueva and ended the threat, but Cincinnati tacked on single runs on Bruce’s RBI grounder in the seventh against Bowden and Cozart’s run-scoring single in the eighth against Kameron Loe.

Floyd hit .467 (7-for15) with two home runs, nine runs batted in and three runs scored in five games last week for the Lady Raiders.

She finished that game 3-for-4 with four RBIs, two runs scored and a stolen base. Floyd then keyed a seven-run first inning in the Detroit series finale on Sunday, smacking a two-run homer off the scoreboard in left as she went 2-for-4 with four more RBIs. She followed that up this week by going 3-for3 with a double and a stolen base in a 2-1 win over Miami, and was 1for-2 with a stolen base in a 4-0 loss to Ohio State. Her recent hot streak at the plate has kicked her batting average for the season up to .297.

In addition to being sued in their official capacity, the following are also being sued individually: Kimpel, Stevenson, Bauer, Wagner, Kincaid, Wertz, Frye, Henry, Schemmel, Schlagetter, Haussman and Lee. Filing the dismissal action was William P. Lang, a Cleveland attorney representing Kimpel, Bauer, Lenhart, Frye, Henry, Schemmel, Schlagetter and Lee. Judge Timothy Black of the U.S. District Court in Dayton is hearing the case. Lang argues that a number of the counts should be dismissed because they appear to be “speculative” and do not provide necessary timelines. The motion notes that the counts are “time barred” after two years, and it states that Trapp’s case actually began in 1998, when investigation into the murder of Trapp’s brother began. Other reasons stated for the motion to dismiss include the fact that Bauer had prosecutorial immunity from the lawsuit since he was the prosecutor in the case when it was re-opened. It also states that Trapp was not denied his constitutional right to “adequate medical care” and that defendants in the case were not “in any way motivated by racial or other class-based” discrimination. Lang requested the court award the defendants the cost of the lawsuit. Brian M. Spiess, an attorney with Montgomery, Rennie and Jonson in Cincinnati, has filed a motion to dismiss on behalf of Stevenson. Spiess argues that Stevenson was not a prosecutor at the time Trapp was indicted and incarcerated and the motion states that Stevenson is immune
Haussman had provided medical care to Trapp on an outpatient basis and had Trapp placed in the intensive care unit at Wilson Memorial Hospital. He was later returned to the Shelby County Jail after being released from the hospital. Trapp was reportedly the beneficiary of his brother’s $200,000 life insurance policy. In January 2012, murder charges against Trapp were dismissed with prejudice, which will allow for them to possibly be filed again in the future. Trapp is reportedly a diabetic who lost both legs to amputation and has high blood pressure. On the day of his arrest, his mother, Kathy Maynard told the Sidney Daily News that her son had high blood pressure prior to his arrest that was not being treated. Nearly one year later, Maynard stated, “since he’s (Trapp) been in there (jail), he has high blood pressure, congestive heart failure, fluid in the lungs, anemia and he is losing kidney function.” allegations Those have led to the current lawsuit, in which there are several claims. Trapp’s attorney could not be reached for comment, but a representative at his office said that Brannon plans to file documents in U.S. District Court on Monday and those documents will be provided to the Sidney Daily News at that time.

From Page 1A from any lawsuits as a Common Pleas Court Judge. Stevenson’s attorney is asking that the lawsuit against him be dismissed with prejudice. Also filing a motion to dismiss on behalf of DeWine and Wagner is Aaron Epstein, an attorney in the AG’s Constitutional Offices Section in Columbus. Epstein argues that DeWine and Wagner are immune from the lawsuit under the 11th amendment due to their official capacity as prosecutors and notes that Wagner has “absolute immunity” as special prosecutor in the case. In the lawsuit against DeWine and Wagner, Trapp’s attorney raises questions regarding tort reform, claiming they are “unconstitutional.” While the motion notes that DeWine “would have the right to intervene or be heard” on that issue, it notes that the law does not state that he should be a party in a lawsuit. While DeWine and Wagner are asking for the case against them to be dismissed, the motion notes that they want to maintain the “option to be heard in defense of the state tort reform laws should the Court reach those issues.” Laura Mariani, an attorney with the Montgomery County Prosecutor’s office in Dayton, has filed a motion to dismiss on behalf of Kincaid and Wertz. Kincaid and Wertz were cold case investigators on the Trapp murder case and the motion requests a dismissal based on a number of facts including that many of the claims are not applicable in their case, including medical negligence since they were not involved in Trapp’s medical care. The motion to dismiss alleges there is “no factual basis” for the lawsuit against Kincaid and Wertz. The lawsuit is based on a case in which Trapp was indicted for the murder of his brother, Gregory Trapp, on May 21, 1998. Vance Short, who is now serving a prison term, was also indicted at the time on related charges. The case was re-opened by the Shelby County Sheriff ’s Office and the Montgomery County Cold Case Unit, which resulted in the indictments of Trapp and Short on Jan. 24, 2011. Short was convicted and sentenced on charges of conspiracy to commit aggravated murder and complicity to commit aggravated burglary. He was sentenced to 15 years in prison. Trapp was charged with the aggravated murder of his brother and was released from jail on a medical furlough in December 2011 after Lenhart described his medical condition as “life threatening.”

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.
