INSPECTING THE First Amendment Award received by the Sidney Daily News Sunday from the Associated Press of Ohio are (l-r) Jeff Billiel, executive editor and publisher; Kathy Leese, lead reporter, and Frank Beeson, group publisher of the I-75 Newspapers of Ohio Community Media. The prestigious award was presented for news coverage relating to the downfall of former Shelby County Sheriff Dean Kimpel and his efforts to withhold information and intimidate the news staff.

Wife sees husband killed DALLAS (AP) — An Army nurse showed no alarm or discomfort before suddenly collapsing during a Skype video chat with his wife, who saw a bullet hole in a closet behind him, his family said Sunday.

Capt. Bruce Kevin Clark’s family released a statement describing what his wife saw in the video feed recording her husband’s death in Tarin Kowt, Afghanistan.

“Clark was suddenly knocked forward,” the statement said. “The closet behind him had a bullet hole in it. The other individuals, including a member of the military, who rushed to the home of CPT Clark’s wife also saw the hole and agreed it was a bullet hole.”

The statement says the Skype link remained open for two hours on April 30 as family and friends in the U.S. and Afghanistan tried to get Clark help.

The Sidney Daily News has received the coveted First Amendment Award presented annually by the Associated Press of Ohio “for a distinguished contribution to freedom of the press.”

The award was based on successful efforts by the newspaper to gain access to public information concerning issues relating to former Shelby County Sheriff Dean Kimpel, despite his extreme efforts to withhold information and to intimidate the news staff.

The award goes to a newspaper that has “overcome obstacles on behalf of the unrestricted flow of information vital to a free society. By so doing, the recipient has served the public and has honored journalism.”

This marks the first time in recent history a smaller community newspaper has received the award. In past years it has gone to major metropolitan newspapers, including the Columbus Dispatch, Cincinnati Enquirer, Toledo Blade and Youngstown Vindicator.

Judges unanimously selected the Sidney Daily News for the award from among a number of nominations.

COLUMBUS (AP) — Ohio State University President E. Gordon Gee has far outpaced the state’s governors in travel costs since 2007, with bills that total at least $844,000 and include trips to China and Europe, a newspaper analysis found.

The Dayton Daily News said it tallied the travel expenses for Gee’s travel using financial disclosure statements and limited information from the university, which didn’t include some information that likely would raise the total.

Report: Law on credit-reporting fails consumers COLUMBUS (AP) — Americans are virtually powerless to correct damaging mistakes in their credit reports due to loopholes and obstacles in the federal law governing credit-reporting agencies, an Ohio newspaper reported Sunday.

The lack of government regulation allows errors that wrongly deny thousands of people the chance to buy homes or cars, take out a college loan, receive medical care or even open a checking account, The Columbus Dispatch wrote. The report is the first of four parts looking at the three largest national credit-

reporting agencies and the lack of federal regulation over the reporting system.

The newspaper’s yearlong investigation collected and analyzed nearly 30,000 consumer complaints filed with the Federal Trade Commission over 30 months beginning in 2009 and with attorneys general in 24 states in 2009 and 2010.

The newspaper said it requested complaints from all 50 attorneys general, but some states don’t make the records public, some did not cooperate and others charged fees that were too high.

The complaints alleg-

ing violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act by Equifax (NYSE:EFX) , Experian and TransUnion document how consumers across the country have failed to get even obvious mistakes such as wrong birthdates and names corrected.

More than 5 percent of complaints to the FTC and more than 40 percent of those to attorneys general say reports had wrong personal information. An Ohio man born in 1968 complained that his report identified him as having been a police officer since 1923.

Nearly 200 people complained to the FTC

that their credit reports listed them as dead, preventing them from accessing credit. Almost a fourth of the complaints to the FTC and more than half of those to attorneys general involved mistakes in consumers’ financial accounts for credit cards, mortgages or car loans. Car loans that had been paid off were reported as repossessions, and credit cards that had been paid off showed up as delinquent.

The newspaper also reported that more than 5 percent complained to the FTC about accounts wrongly listed as belonging to them, and more

AWARD The award was presented Sunday at the ann u a l meeting of the AP Society of Ohio in Columbus. The D a i l y News also won second place Mikolajewski in a website competition and shared honors in a special section category.

“We are humbled by this exceptional honor,” Jeffrey Billiel, executive editor and publisher of the Daily News, said in reference to the First Amendment Award. “Protecting access to public information and defending the people’s right to know is a heavy responsibility that newspapers take seriously. Our nation’s founders recognized the value of a free press, incorporating its provisions in the First Amendment to the Constitution. It is incumbent on newspapers, large and small, to ensure this freedom is not compromised.”

Kimpel will be sentenced June 8 in Shelby County Common Pleas Court on a felony charge of unauthorized use of a computer or telecommunications device. He is also charged in Auglaize County with the alleged sexual battery of one of his former deputies, Jodi Van Fossen. That case is still pending.

Kimpel had attempted to thwart the Daily News’ access to public records relating to his cases.

Much of the reporting was done by Kathy Leese.

Early in the situation, Kimpel refused to answer questions related to his office and performance.

He also refused to make available a 154-page internal affairs investigation report despite a public records request submitted by the newspaper. Kimpel would direct questions to his staff and refuse to answer any directly. The internal affairs report was turned over only after the newspaper prevailed upon the Shelby County Prosecutor to intervene, which he did. The report contained information related to allegations the sheriff had sexually assaulted Van Fossen, among other things.

In addition to refusing to answer questions regarding issues in the sheriff’s office, Kimpel became belligerent and abusive toward Leese, yelling and behaving in a threatening manner.

Also, items about the sheriff’s office were posted on blogs and forums using Leese’s identity in an obvious attempt to undermine her credibility. These actions were investigated by the Sidney Police.

On Jan. 20, 2011, efforts to keep the newspaper from reporting about

From Page 1

Kimpel’s situation heightened when he filed a charge of telecommunications harassment against Leese and tried to have her arrested. He sent two deputies to the Sidney Daily News to serve the papers. The charges were based on her attempts to call and email the sheriff after he refused to deal with her face to face.

During the course of that day, local prosecutors, along with Frank Beeson, publisher of the I75 Newspaper Group of Ohio Community Media, worked to ensure Leese was not arrested. This was followed up by an editorial written by Billiel, taking the sheriff to task for his heavy-handed efforts to withhold public information.

The charges were eventually dropped but Kimpel then had his personal attorney send Leese a letter of a threatening nature, telling her to stop asking his client questions.

The story of Kimpel’s attempts to quash the public’s right to know and having a reporter arrested was widely reported in the media and discussed on a number of online forums.

Bomb plot suspect leases Occupy warehouse in Ohio CLEVELAND (AP) — One of five men arrested in an alleged Ohio bridge bombing plot signed the lease for the warehouse that’s home to about a dozen protesters from the Occupy Cleveland movement, which is working to get the man’s name removed from the lease, a group spokesman said.

The $600 monthly rent for the warehouse was paid to a landlord, not to suspect Anthony Hayne, group spokesman Joseph Zitt told The Plain Dealer.

“We needed a name on the lease, and he agreed to be it,” Zitt said.

Hayne, 35, is among the five suspects accused of trying to bomb a highway bridge south of Cleveland using devices that were actually fake bombs provided through an undercover FBI employee. The others are Douglas L. Wright, 26, of Indianapolis; Brandon L. Baxter, 20, of nearby Lakewood; Connor C. Stevens, 20, of suburban Berea; and Joshua S. Stafford, 23, of Cleveland.

They were indicted last week on three counts each, including a charge of attempted use of a weapon of mass destruction to destroy property in interstate commerce.

They are due in court

Monday for a preliminary hearing.

One defense attorney has said it’s a case of entrapment, in which an FBI informant guided the process.

But authorities describe the suspects as anarchists who acted out of their own anger against corporate America and the government.

The Occupy movement has sought to distance itself from the suspects since their arrest last week and says they were affiliated with Occupy Cleveland but didn’t represent it or its non-violent philosophy. Zitt said the group isn’t in favor of violent response and would have expelled the suspects if the group had learned they were considering acts that could be deemed terrorism.

“These people participated in aspects of the movement, but once we discovered what was going on we decided they could not be part of it,” Zitt said. “I wish we had learned earlier.”

He said Occupy Cleveland group leaders ousted another member late last week because he threatened and struck someone he believed had information about the alleged bombing plot.

She noted that “defending First Amendment rights is vitally important, whether we work for a small town paper or a metropolitan. We have a responsibility to get the story and protect the public’s right to know. At the same time, we must tell the story fairly and accurately. At times this heavy responsibility may even involve putting ourselves in jeopardy.”

NATION/WORLD BRIEFLY

Paul wins Maine AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) — With Mitt Romney’s GOP presidential nomination all but decided, Ron Paul supporters took control of the Maine Republican Convention and elected a majority slate supporting the Texas congressman to the GOP national convention, party officials said.

The results gave the Texas congressman a late state victory.

In votes leading to the close of the two-day Maine convention, Paul supporters were elected to 21 of the 24 delegate spots from Maine to the GOP national convention in Tampa, Fla. The 24th delegate’s seat goes to party Chairman Charles Webster, who has remained uncommitted throughout the process.

11th band member arrested ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — The last of 11 band members charged in the hazing death of a Florida A&M drum major has turned herself in to authorities.

The Florida Department of Law Enforcement says 20-year-old Lasherry Codner surrendered Sunday at the Orange County jail.

Jail records showed that Codner posted $15,000 bond and would be released.

Eleven FAMU band members face third-degree felony hazing charges from Robert Champion’s death in November. Two others face misdemeanor counts.

Champion died aboard a charter bus outside an Orlando hotel. His death revealed a culture of hazing at the Tallahassee school and has jeopardized the future of its prestigious Marching 100 band.

400 babies baptized TBILISI, Georgia (AP) — The patriarch of the Georgian Orthodox Church presided over the baptism of hundreds of babies in a Tbilisi cathedral on Sunday as part of an effort credited with helping raise the birth rate in this former Soviet nation.

Patriarch Ilia II has promised to become the godfather of all babies born into Orthodox Christian families who already have two or more children. Since he began the mass baptisms in 2008, he has gained nearly 11,000 godchildren.

Parents of the 400 babies baptized by an array of priests Sunday said the patriarch was instrumental in their decision to have a third or fourth child.

6-year-old suspended for sexy line AURORA, Colo. (AP) — A 6-year-old boy was suspended from his suburban Denver school for three days after school officials said he told a girl “I’m sexy and I know it,” a line from a popular song.

D’Avonte Meadows, a first-grader at Sable Elementary School in Aurora, is accused of sexual harassment and disrupting other students, according to a letter the school district sent to his mother after he was sent home Wednesday.

School officials issued a statement saying they couldn’t discuss the case, but they pointed out a school board policy that defines sexual harassment as any unwelcome sexual advance. There is no age limit.

U.S. airstrike kills senior al-Qaida leader in Yemen

BY AHMED AL-HAJ Associated Press SANAA, Yemen (AP) — An airstrike Sunday killed a top al-Qaida leader on the FBI’s most wanted list for his role in the 2000 bombing of the USS Cole warship, Yemeni officials said. The drone attack was carried out by the CIA, U.S. officials said.

Fahd al-Quso was hit by a missile as he stepped out of his vehicle, along with another alQaida operative in the southern Shabwa province, Yemeni military officials said. They were speaking on condition of anonymity in accordance with military regulations.

The drone strike that killed Quso was carried out by the CIA, after an extended surveillance operation by the CIA and U.S. military, two U.S. officials said. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media.

The strike was authorized by the Yemeni government, which then made the announcement after the operation was complete, the officials said, part of the U.S. strategy to give the host government more public ownership of the operation being carried out on Yemeni soil.

The airstrike came as the U.S. and Yemen cooperate in a battle against al-Qaida in southern Yemen.

Al-Quso, 37, was on the FBI’s most wanted list, with a $5 million reward for information leading to his capture. He was indicted in the U.S. for his role in the 2000 bombing of the USS Cole in the harbor of Aden, Yemen, in which 17 American sailors were killed and 39 injured.

He served more than five years in a Yemeni prison for his role in the attack and was released in 2007. He briefly escaped prison in 2003 but later turned himself in to serve the

rest of his sentence.

A telephone text message claiming to be from al-Qaida’s media arm confirmed al-Quso was killed in the strike.

Al-Quso was also one of the most senior al-Qaida leaders publicly linked to the 2009 Christmas airliner attack. He allegedly met with the suspected Nigerian bomber, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, in Yemen before he left on his way to execute his failed attack over Detroit with a bomb concealed in his underwear.

In December 2010, al-Quso was designated a global terrorist by the State Department, an indication that his role in al-Qaida’s Yemen offshoot, alQaida in the Arabian Peninhad grown more sula, prominent.

Local Yemeni official Abu Bakr bin Farid and the Yemeni Embassy in Washington confirmed al-Quso was killed in Rafd, a remote mountain valley in Shabwa. It is the area

where many al-Qaida leaders are believed to have taken cover, including the U.S.-born cleric Anwar al-Awlaki, who was killed in a U.S. airstrike in Yemen last year.

Yemeni government officials reported that al-Quso and al-Awlaki were killed in an airstrike in 2009 in Rafd, but they both resurfaced alive.

Al-Quso was known for his ability to move in disguise. He was from the same tribe as alAwlaki, and local tribesmen said he was a close aide. He studied ultraconservative Salafi Islam as a teenager in northern Yemen, then returned home to learn welding.

The White House and the State Department had no immediate comment.

Yemen’s government has been waging an offensive on al-Qaida militants, who have taken advantage of the country’s political turmoil over the last year to expand their hold in the south.

TENNESSEE BUREAU of Investigation agents inspect the home and garage of a woman and her three young daughters who authorities say were abducted near Whiteville, Tenn., on Sunday, May 6, 2012. The FBI has said two bodies were found at a home connected to Adam Mayes in Mississippi, but agents have released few other details.

Authorities search for mom, three daughters WHITEVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Authorities were working Sunday to identify two bodies found at a Mississippi residence associated with a man suspected of abducting a woman and her three young daughters.

The FBI has said two bodies were found over the weekend at a home connected to 35-yearold Adam Mayes in Guntown, Miss., but agents have released few other details. Authorities believe that Mayes abducted the woman, Jo Ann Bain, and her three daughters, ages 8 to 14.

On Sunday, forensic scientists with the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation searched the garage and backyard at the Hardeman County, Tenn. home where Bain, her husband and their children lived.

An Associated Press reporter saw the agents searching before being told to leave the street where the home was located. Bain’s husband declined to comment Sunday.

Meanwhile, a Bain family friend said Sunday that the woman and her daughters were moving to Arizona because two of the girls had asthma.

Linda Kirkland, a cook at the Country Cafe in Whiteville, Tenn., said that the Bains and their daughters were back in the Whiteville area taking care of some business after a death

in the family.

Tennessee authorities said the family had not yet moved.

Bain had frequented the restaurant and never indicated anything was wrong.

“She seemed so happy,” Kirkland said.

“Jo Ann and the kids, everyone loves them.

We’re just hoping to hear that they’re safe.”

Bain’s daughters are 14-year-old Adrienne, 12-year-old Alexandria and 8-year-old Kyliyah.

An Amber Alert has been issued for the girls, and Mayes is charged with kidnapping in Tennessee.

FBI spokesman Joel Siskovic said Sunday that efforts to identify the bodies continued on Sunday. He would not say if they were children.

They were found late Friday night or early Saturday morning.

The Bains were last seen April 27 in Hardeman County, Tenn., which is about 70 miles east of Memphis. The woman’s husband reported her missing, and her vehicle was found abandoned.

Authorities said Mayes was at the family’s home on the night that Jo Ann Bain went missing late last month. They were trying to determine if Jo Ann Bain went with Mayes willingly.

France gets new leader PARIS (AP) — France handed the presidency Sunday to leftist Francois Hollande, a champion of government stimulus programs who says the state should protect the downtrodden — a victory that could deal a death blow to the drive for austerity that has been the hallmark of Europe in recent years.

Mild and affable, the president-elect inherits a country deep in debt and divided over how to integrate immigrants while preserving its national identity. Markets will closely watch his initial moves as president.

He narrowly defeated the hard-driving, attention-getting Nicolas Sarkozy, an Americafriendly leader who led the country through its worst economic troubles since World War II but whose policies and personality proved too bitter for many voters to swallow.

“Austerity can no longer be inevitable!” Hollande declared in his victory speech after a surprising campaign that saw him transform from an unremarkable figure to an increasingly statesmanlike one. He will take office no later than May 16.

Speaking to exuberant

crowds, Hollande portrayed himself as a vehicle for change across Europe.

“In all the capitals … there are people who, thanks to us, are hoping, are looking to us, and want to finish with austerity,” he told supporters early Monday at Paris’ Place de la Bastille. “You are a movement lifting up everywhere in Europe, and perhaps the world.”

Celebrations continued into the night on the iconic plaza of the French Revolution, with revelers waving French, European and labor union flags and climbing the base of its central column.

GUANTANAMO BAY NAVAL BASE, Cuba (AP) — The U.S. has finally started the prosecution of five Guantanamo Bay prisoners charged in the Sept. 11 attacks that killed nearly 3,000 people, but the trial won’t be starting anytime soon, and both sides said Sunday that the case could continue for years.

Defense lawyer James Connell said a tentative trial date of May 2013 is a “placeholder” until a true date can be set for the trial of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the self-described mastermind of the attacks, and his co-defendants.

“It’s going to take time,” said the chief prosecutor, Army Brig. Gen. Mark Martins, who said he expects to battle a barrage of defense motions before the case goes to trial.

“I am getting ready for hundreds of motions because we want them to shoot everything they can shoot at us,” he said.

Saturday’s arraignment lasted 13 hours, including meal and prayer breaks, as the accused appeared to make a concerted effort to stall the initial hearing, which didn’t end until almost 11 p.m.

“Everyone is frustrated by the delay,” Martins said on Sunday. He noted that the civilian trial of convicted Sept.

11 conspirator Zacarias Moussaoui took four years, and he pleaded guilty in 2006 before being sentenced to life in prison.

On Saturday, Mohammed and his co-defendants refused to respond to the judge or use the court’s translation system and one of the men demanded a lengthy reading of the charges. Connell called the tactics “peaceful resistance to an unjust system.”

The arraignment, Connell said, “demonstrates that this will be a long, hard-fought but peaceful struggle against secrecy, torture and the misguided institution of the military commissions.”

The defendants’ actions outraged relatives of the victims.

“They’re engaging in jihad in a courtroom,” said Debra Burlingame, whose brother, Charles, was the pilot of the plane that flew into the Pentagon. She watched the proceeding from Brooklyn on one of the closed-circuit video feeds around the United States.

A handful of those who lost family members in the attacks were selected by a lottery and flown to watch the proceedings at the U.S. naval base in Cuba, where Mohammed and his co-defendants put off their pleas until a later date.

May is Older Americans Month

COLUMBUS — Each year, Ohio and the nation celebrate May as Older Americans Month to show appreciation for elders who continue to grow, thrive and contribute to their communities.

The theme for Older Americans Month 2012, “never too old to…,” spotlights the many varied ways that older adults share their experience, wisdom and understanding with other Tuesday Afternoon generations.

The center• The Narcotics Anonymous group, Addicts at Work, meets at noon at St. John’s Lutheran piece of the month, Senior Citizens Day, is May Church, 120 W. Water St. • Rainbow Gardeners meets at noon at the 15 this year.

tinue to participate in social groups, service organizations, the workand other place activities, they live healthy, meaningful lives full of reward and satisfaction,” said Bonnie Kantor-Burman, director of the department.

“When communities integrate the needs and interests of elders into their planning and provide real opportunities, Ohio reaps the rewards.”

Lifelong participation in social, creative and physical activities has proven health benefits, including retaining mo-

bility, muscle mass and cognitive abilities. But older adults are not the only ones who benefit from their engagement in community life. Studies show their interactions with family, friends and neighbors across generations enrich the lives of everyone involved. Young people who have significant relationships with a grandparent or elder report that these relationships helped shape their values, goals and life choices and gave them a sense of identity and roots.

To help organizations and communities cele-

brate Older Americans Month, the Ohio Department of Aging has a promotional toolkit on its website at www.aging.ohio.gov/news/ olderamericansmonth/ that includes an eventplanning guide, activity ideas, publicity materials, posters and other useful resources. Organizations hosting activities are invited to list their events on the website as well. Local celebrations traditionally include awards dinners, picnics, dances, health fairs, intergenerational activities and more.

— Phyllis in Arkansas Open safely Dear Heloise: I use a hand-crank can opener.

Almost every time I used it, I could never completely detach the lid from the can. I had to bend the lid up by the small piece of metal still connected. Now, when opening a can with the opener, I clamp the opener to the can and turn the crank about one-quarter turn counterclockwise, then proceed to turn the crank clockwise to open the can. The lid comes off neatly just about every time. — Ray, via email

Ray, thanks for sharing your hint. Please read the hint below about a can complaint.

— Heloise Easy button Dear Heloise: I can button the front of my shirt, but I couldn’t button the sleeve. Now I can! I took a long hairpin and spread it a little.

I pulled it through the button hole, hooked the button and pulled it through. With a little practice, anyone can do it. Also, a paper clip straightened out will work just as well. I enjoy your column! — B.J. in Mississippi Sound off Dear Heloise: I am writing to complain about those “flip-top” cans that you have to tear off to get to the product. They are too hard to pull, and trying to do so puts one in danger of being cut. Before you know it, we will be buying “kitchen pliers” to accomplish this task.

What kind of day will tomorrow be? To find out what the stars say, read the forecast given for your birth sign.

For Tuesday, May 8, 2012 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) This is an excellent day to sit down with friends and partners to make long-range travel plans. It’s also a good day to discuss future plans for higher education, publishing, the media, medicine and the law.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Use today’s energy to clear up red-tape details about insurance matters, inheritances, taxes, debt and shared property. You’ll find it easy to pay attention to detail.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) This is an excellent day to sit down with others to hash out issues that might concern either party. People are in a receptive frame of mind, and they want practical results.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You can accomplish a lot at work today.

Choose routine work that you might normally avoid, because you have excellent con-

centration today.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) It’s a good day for partners to discuss the care of children. It’s also a good day to discuss future vacations and the details they might entail.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Sit down with family members to plan repairs or discuss future options for family members. People are patient and willing to look at many approaches to things.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Choose any work that requires attention to detail today, because you have the endurance, the concentration and the willingness to do routine work. Just get it out of the way!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) You’re willing to work hard for your money today, because thrift and frugality are high on your list. If shopping, you will buy only items that are practical and long-lasting.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) It’s easy to accept obligations and duties today, because you see the benefits of doing so.

You also have a desire to keep things practical and orderly. (Physical comforts are low on

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 Wednesday, May 9, 2012 ARIES (March 21to April 19) Discussions with bosses, parents, teachers and VIPs — especially females — will be intense today! If there’s a difference of opinion, it’s probably in your best interests to back down or just agree.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Avoid passionate discussions about politics, religion or racial issues today. Logic will not prevail.

Quite the contrary, emotional arguments might break out.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) This is a poor day to decide how to divide an inheritance or share something. People feel territorial and reluctant to budge. Just accept this.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Resist the impulse to improve a partner or friend. You might want to make this person over (for the better), but don’t do it. Your suggestions will go over like a lead balloon.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Because you have strong ideas about making improvements or introducing reforms where you work, you will want to tell others what you think. Well, today might not be the day to do so. Easy does it.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Avoid passionate discussions with romantic partners today. People are entrenched in their views, and they are very jealous as well. Be cool.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Impulsiveness and emotional outbursts with family members will be the order of the day. Therefore, tread carefully! A small comment could es-

your list.)

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Today’s a wonderful day for research of any kind! Roll up your sleeves and begin, because you will find what you’re looking for.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Discussions with someone older, wiser or more experienced can benefit you today. Make sure you don’t do all the talking. Listen to what others have to say.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) It’s easy to impress bosses, parents, teachers and VIPs today because you appear conscientious and hardworking. They see you as an asset to any project.

YOU BORN TODAY You are courageous and gutsy! You’re direct and outspoken, and never hesitate to express your ideas. You use both modern and traditional methods to achieve your aims. In particular, you are strongly connected to your surroundings. This year, something you’ve been involved with for about nine years will diminish or end in order to make room for something new to enter your world.

calate into a messy scene.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) You might feel hot under the collar about something today. All your conversations with others, especially siblings and relatives, will be intense and potentially volatile.

(Yikes.)

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) If shopping today, you might be obsessed about buying something: “I have to have it!” Similarly, some of you will feel almost compulsive about doing something to earn money.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) You will have intense, emotional experiences with someone today (certainly memorable). Romantic relationships could deepen in a significant way as well.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Your ability to penetrate a foggy situation and get to the truth is excellent today. You might even learn something new about your real feelings about an issue.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Conversations with female acquaintances certainly will be memorable today. You might attract someone who is unusually powerful, or vice versa, you might be coming on like gangbusters to others.

YOU BORN TODAY You have a strong moral fiber and sense of fair play. You value justice and are sympathetic to the underdog. Because of this, you’re propelled by your ideals and personal causes. Once you believe in something, you never give up. You always radiate a personal power, regardless of your size. In the year ahead, you begin an exciting, new cycle. Open any door!

Yesterday, he ate a piece of cake that he knew was being saved for our grandfather’s visit on the weekend.

When he did this, my mom grounded him for a week. I thought the punishment was fair. Then, tonight, (Friday) he asked if he could go to the basketball game at school and she said, “All right, go ahead.” This really made me mad.

When I asked my mom why she changed her mind, she said that Paul’s punishment was too severe because growing boys have huge appetites. Well, so do growing girls, and I didn’t eat the cake. I don’t think this is fair because he should have been grounded six more days!

students by maintaining the current interest rates for subsidized Stafford student loans at 3.4 percent.

It is in all of our best interests to ensure that higher education is affordable and accessible to qualified students.

Educational attainment has long been a great equalizer — helping families enter the middle class. It’s clear that we need to do more to educate young people for the jobs of the 21st century and connect them with businesses that are searching for skilled workers.

The last thing we should be doing is adding to Ohio students’ already-heavy debt load.

And as more and more students continue to enroll in higher education, debt balances are expected to continue climbing. Students burdened by excessive debt are less likely to start a business, buy a home, or continue on to graduate school.

My legislation would

Protect each other To the editor: On April 19, the unthinkable happened. Our palomino Rocky Mountain mare, appropriately named Angel, was ruthlessly shot and killed. It appears this could have been done as a diversion because others entered our home and stole from us while we were at the barn watching her writhe in pain and take her last few breaths.

Angel was also an expectant mother and her unborn baby was self-aborted as she died. She wheezed as she struggled to take her last few breaths. You see, she was shot in the chest with a .22-caliber bullet, which punctured her lung and suffocated her as her lungs filled with blood. What a cruel way to die.

She was our pride and joy — always so loving, always so trusting, always so good-natured with everyone. Her little one, we will never know what a prince or princess he or she may have been.

What has this world come to that people will shoot an innocent and defenseless animal as a diversion tactic? Is that now the norm — to see an animal suffer in pain and finally die for the profit of others?

We immediately reported Angel’s horrible murder, and subsequent breaking and entering with theft of personal items, to the Shelby County Humane Society as well as to the Sheriff’s Office. Investigations are in the works; however, we want to get the word out to hopefully keep this gutwrenching ordeal from happening to any of our neighbors or anyone else in the community.

We need to watch out for each other; we need to protect each other and each other’s livestock. We need to say “enough is enough” of this society’s degradation into cruelty and murder for personal gain. We hope and pray that anyone with information that would further assist with the investigations will call the Shelby County Humane Society at 498-8144, or the Sidney Police Department at 498-2351.

LETTER

TO THE EDITOR

Being allowed to serve To the editor: I want to extend my appreciation to the community for the opportunity to serve through the Shelby County Fire Department. Unfortunately, the department was disbanded recently by the EMA Executive Board after more than 50 years of service.

It was around 7 p.m. while I was playing “speedy” hide and seek with my 3-year-old daughter when the phone rang. It was our deputy chief inquiring if I would be attending the monthly meeting. With much trepidation and heartburn, I packed up the kids and headed to the firehouse.

Upon walking into the meeting room, the air is cold, the mood somber; a loved one has passed away? Everyone is silent — no smiles, laughter, or smart remarks for my tardiness. For those of you who haven’t been around a firehouse, this is atypical.

“Well Brendan, since we already started, I’m just going to break it to you straight. The fire department is shut down effective tonight,” Chief Hoelscher announced.

We made our way out into the truck bay to collect our personal belongings and pack up. We moved through the firehouse with disbelief, not comprehending that the services of so many who volunteer their time,

resources and money were no longer needed. This is not an organization disbanded, it is a family broken apart.

I tell my daughter to sit in every fire truck, every seat, do everything you want to do tonight. This will be the last time, little girl. They are closing the fire department, and we won’t be allowed to come back. “Why Daddy?” she asks.

Some of us will find other fire departments, some will find other organizations to serve, some have soul searching to do. For some, this is the end of their fire service, the end of their fire career. For those who have fought their last fire, your service, sacrifice and efforts are greatly appreciated and truly honorable. Every firefighter who has had the privilege to work with you is a better person just for having known you.

We will have other days to reminisce of the fires fought, lives (even those of dogs) and property saved, and especially those we could not.

For today, we must get over the heartbreak, and the loss of our fire family.

Our greatest regret: that we could not have served longer.

I appreciate being allowed to serve.

help ensure that more middle-class Ohioans can achieve their dream of going to college. Ohio students — many of them already working while attending class — should not be required to mortgage their future or delay their opportunities for a better life because of student loan debt.

The ability to pay for higher education is essential, as many middleclass jobs in Ohio and throughout the country require training past high school. And higher education leads to higher earnings over a lifetime.

Whether it’s a career center or private liberal -arts school, two-year college or flagship university, students should not be forced to forego college because Congress refused to do its work.

That’s why I will continue to fight until Congress acts. The future of Ohio students — and our nation — depends on it.

LETTERS

TO

THE EDITOR

It’s time to stop To the editor: I know there are some problems with our system of justice, but how do you explain paying someone that has pleaded guilty to a felony? Our sheriff of Shelby County, Mr. Kimpel, has pleaded guilty to a felony and still is receiving his pay until the day he is sentenced. I can understand paying someone until they are found guilty; you know that old saying, innocent until proven guilty. But when someone admits to a felony, it is time to stop giving our tax dollars away. We waste enough of our tax dollars!

Tim Smith 105 Meadow Drive Botkins

Why close it?

To the editor: I am very disappointed by the closing of the Shelby County Fire Department.

Every interview I see or article I read states different reasons as to why it closed, with seemingly no attempt to resolve any of the issues. We had a group of trained and experienced firefighters willing to volunteer their time, and a building already full of trucks, equipment and gear. They served our community and they served it well.

I would really like for the EMA board to make it clear as to what our county has gained by closing of this department and what they did to try to save it. To the men and women of Shelby County Fire, your service is appreciated.

Here are some great opportunities with the Ohio Farm Bureau!

• Young Agriculture Professionals: Farm Bureau has many opportunities for young people involved in the agriculture field.

Each year they partner with the county Farm Bureaus to offer three different contests for Ohio’s young ag professionals to earn recognition.

The three contests are Young Outstanding Farmer, Excellence in Ag and the Discussion Meet.

Here is a brief explanation of each contest: • Outstanding Young Farmer: Selection of the

winning Outstanding Young Farmer contestant is based on his or her efforts in production agriculture and leadership achievement. The ideal candidates for the Outstanding Young Farmer contest are an individual or couple involved in production agriculture with a majority of their income subject to normal production risks. Please note that ownership and growth of the agricultural operation plays an important part of the Outstanding Young Farmer contest. Deadline is Aug. 17.

• Excellence in Ag: Participants will be judged on their involvement in agriculture, leadership ability, involvement and participation in Farm Bureau and other organizations (such as civic, service and community). The ideal candidates for the Excellence in Agriculture Award are individuals or couples who do not have the majority of their in-

come subject to normal production risk. Deadline is Aug. 17.

• Discussion Meet: The Discussion Meet contest is designed to simulate a committee meeting where discussion and active participation are expected from each participant. This competition is evaluated on an exchange of ideas and information on a predetermined topic. The judges are looking for the contestant who offers constructive criticism, cooperation and communication while analyzing agricultural problems and developing solutions.

Semifinal rounds are typically held at Ohio Farm Leadership Bureau’s Conference and finalists compete at the Ohio Farm Bureau annual meeting. Deadline is June 29.

For more information about any of these opportunities, contact the county office or Ohio Farm Bureau’s website at www.ofbf.org.

• Agripower: This yearlong program focuses on public policy issues confronting the agriculture community and the food industry; also with helping individuals develop the skills necessary to become effective leaders and advocates for agriculture. The program consists of seven multiday institutes and covers topics from public policy to world hunger.

Individuals may nominate themselves or have their nomination sponsored by the local county farm bureau.

Look into this program on Ofbf.org or by contacting the county office. Applications are due May 18.

There are many great opportunities going on now to be involved in Farm Bureau. Check us out!

Youth loans The Farm Service Agency has loans to assist rural youth to establish and operate income -producing projects in affiliation with the participation in either 4-H or FFA programs.

The project must be planned and operated with the assistance of the 4-H or FFA adviser and parents; and provide sufficient income to repay the loan.

The goal of the loan program is to provide youth with a practical

business and educational experience.

Additionally, the youth must be conducting a modest income-producing agricultural project supervised with a written recommendation by the 4-H club or FFA adviser and consent of the parents and or guardian.

Projects Youth loans can be used to finance many kinds of agricultural projects. The loan funds can be used to buy livestock, equipment and supplies; buy, rent or repair needed tools and equipment; and pay op-

erating expenses for the project.

A maximum loan amount is $5,000 and could be one loan or a combination of loans that do not exceed $5,000. The interest rate is fixed at the time the loan closes. Complete youth loan details are available at county office or online at: www.fsa.usda.gov and clicking on farm loans.

TV’s Goober Pyle dies ‘I love you.’”

Although he was best known as Goober, Lindsey had other roles during a long TV career.

Earlier, he often was a “heavy” and once shot Matt Dillon on “Gunsmoke.”

His other TV credits included roles on “MASH,” ”The Wonderful World of Disney,” ”CHIPs,” ”The Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour,” ”The Real McCoys,” ”Rifleman,” ”The Alfred Hitchcock Hour,” ”Twilight Zone” and “Love American Style.”

Reflecting on his career, he said in 1985: “There’s a residual effect of knowing I’ve made America laugh. I’m not the only one, but I’ve contributed something.”

He had movie roles, too, appearing in “Cannonball Run II” and “Take This Job and Shove It.” His voice was used in animated Walt Disney features including “The Aristocats,” “The Rescuers” and “Robin Hood.”

Lindsey was born in Jasper, Ala., the son of a butcher. He received a bachelor of science degree from Florence State Teachers College (now the University of North Alabama) in 1952 after majoring in physical education and biology and

playing quarterback on the football team.

After spending three years in the Air Force, he worked one year as a high school baseball and basketball coach and history teacher near Huntsville, Ala. In 1956, he attended the American Theatre Wing in New York City and began his professional career on Broadway, appearing in the musicals “All American” and “Wonderful Town.”

He moved to Hollywood in the early 1960s and then to Nashville in the early 1990s.

“There’s no place in the United States I can go that they don’t know me. They may not know me, but they know the character,” he told The Tennessean in 1980.

At that time, he said the Griffith show “was the first soft rural comedy with a moral.”

“We physically and mentally became those people when we got to the set.”

He did some standup comedy — ending the show by tap and break dancing.

One of his jokes: “A football coach, holding a football, asks his quarterback, ‘Son, can you pass this?’ The player says, ‘Coach, I don’t even think I can

swallow it.’” devoted Lindsey much of his spare time to raising funds for the Alabama Special Olympics. For 17 years, he sponsored a celebrity golf tournament in Montgomery, Ala., that raised money for the mentally disabled.

The University of North Alabama awarded him an honorary doctorate in 1992, and he was affectionately called “Doctor Goober” by acquaintances after that.

NASHVILLE, Tenn.

(AP) — George Lindsey, who spent nearly 30 years as the grinning Goober on “The Andy Griffith Show” and “Hee Haw,” has died. He was 83.

The Marshall-Donnelly-Combs Funeral Home in Nashville said Lindsay died early Sunday morning after a brief illness. Funeral arrangements were still being made. was the Lindsey beanie-wearing Goober on “The Andy Griffith Show” from 1964 to 1968 and its successor, “Mayberry RFD,” from 1968 to 1971. He played the same jovial character — a service station attendant — on “Hee Haw” from 1971 until it went out of production in 1993.

“America has grown up with me,” Lindsey said in an Associated Press interview in 1985.

“Goober is every man; everyone finds something to like about ol’ Goober.”

He joined “The Andy Griffith Show” in 1964 when Jim Nabors, portraying Gomer Pyle, left the program. Goober Pyle, who had been mentioned on the show as Gomer’s cousin, replaced him.

“At that time, we were the best acting ensemble on TV,” Lindsey once told an interviewer. “The scripts were terrific.

Andy is the best script constructionist I’ve ever been involved with. And you have to lift your acting level up to his; he’s awfully good.”

In a statement released through the funeral home, Griffith said, “George Lindsey was my friend. I had great respect for his talent and his human spirit. In recent years, we spoke often by telephone. Our last conversation was a few days ago … I am happy to say that as we found ourselves in our eighties, we were not afraid to say, ‘I love you.’ That was the last thing George and I had to say to each other.

Moms are celebrated around the world

The perpetuation of this tradition in North America goes back to an American, Anna Jarvis, who lost her mother on the second Sunday of May, 1906. She convinced the authorities in her small Virginian town to mark Mother’s Day with a religious ceremony the following year. The idea was so popular that the entire state of Virginia began an official celebration for mothers in 1907. A few years later, in 1914, U.S. President Woodrow Wilson officially designated the second Sunday in May as Mother’s Day.

Strangely enough, Mother’s Day is celebrated on a wide range of dates around the world. It’s celebrated as early as February in Norway and as late as December in Panama and Indonesia. Between these two extremes, hardly a month goes by without some country honouring their mothers with a special day. One thing is certain though, no matter the place or the date, mothers deserve to be celebrated!

Since then, many countries including Canada, Brazil, Italy, Japan, and Belgium have followed

Mother’s Day is celebrated on different dates around the world.

MOTHER’S DAY MAY 13, 2012

Why not make your cherished mother’s greatest wish come true for Mother’s Day? If you and your sibling haven’t been on speaking terms for months, if you’re annoyed with a family member over a trifle, why not bury the hatchet, turn the page, and try to get along for your mother’s sake. A family reconciliation might very well be the most wonderful gift she could receive.

Perhaps you don’t demonstrate the love you feel for your mother on a regular

basis. Mother’s Day is the ideal moment to express this love, with heartfelt wishes, gifts, or gestures that will go straight to her heart. If you have a limited budget, offer her some quality time, spent together doing an activity she particularly loves. Or help her out with some chores she finds difficult. At the very least, a pretty card in which you express your wholehearted love for her will surely bring her joy.

Another great idea is to develop the habit of expressing your gratitude to your mother and spoiling her every chance you get. It will allow you to build a closer relationship with her, something that might feel great for both of you.

Why wait for Mother’s Day to show your affection to the one who gave you life and to tell her how much you love her?

If you love your mother but forget to tell her on a regular basis, now is the perfect time to tell her how you feel.

by dip in a thermal spa is just the thing. A box of different herbal teas or coffees would also be well received, as would bath products or a pair of ultracomfortable slippers.

Here are some personality-based gift ideas that are sure to please your mother no matter what her style, interests, or age.

FOODIE MOMS Why not an apron embroidered with her first name, a gourmet box of chocolates, or a fancy high-quality kitchen gadget? If your budget is more ample, she would surely love a gastronomic weekend away, with meals featuring local products and a couple of nights in a cozy inn.

Let her know how grateful you are Mothers give so much of themselves to their children, from the time they’re babies, through childhood and beyond the trials of adolescence.

That’s half a lifetime spent caring for their children! Honoured since antiquity, motherhood represents the source of life and nurturing.

Personalized gifts for mothers

TENDER-HEARTED MOMS Opt for a heart-shaped locket, a jewellery box engraved with a loving message, or a digital photograph frame filled with family photos. Or how about a personalized novel in which she plays the heroine and recounts her experiences as a young woman or as a mother.

ACTIVE MOMS If she loves being active but is hesitant to treat herself, offer her some sports equipment that she wouldn’t splurge for herself. Or make a gift of a short- or long-term membership at the nearest gym or a few sessions with a personal trainer.

Short on gift ideas for Mother’s Day? Let your mother’s personality inspire you!

CURIOUS MOMS How about a subscription to a newspaper or magazine, a tablet computer, or books about different travel destinations? You could also offer a daytrip to a museum or art gallery in a neighbouring town or city.

Terry Allen, playing in the second spot, earned medalist honors with a very fine two over par 37. Allen birdied the fifth hole and registered par on the second, third, fourth, seventh and ninth holes for his total.

Reds blank Pirates 5-0 Latos, three relief pitchers strike out 17 PITTSBURGH (AP) — Mat Latos spent Sunday morning trying to quell a queasy stomach.

All the Cincinnati righthander really needed was a little bit of defensive help and an overpowering fastball.

Feeling lightheaded and chugging Gatorade, Latos fought off the bug and a shaky first inning to strike out a career-high 11 and lead the Reds to a 5-0 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Sunday.

“Sometimes when guys don’t feel quite right, a lot of times they throw their best games,” Cincinnati manager Dusty Baker said. “You settle down, you’re concentrating, you try not to overthrow because you don’t have the strength to do so.”

Baker joked that he kept calling Latos “Michael Jordan” in the dugout between innings and Latos kept reassuring his manager he was OK. Latos (2-2) certainly appeared to be fine while giving up two hits over six innings.

So did the three relievers who upped Cincinnati’s strikeout

CINCINNATI REDS starter Mat Latos throws to the Pittsburgh Pirates in the first inning of a baseball game on Sunday in Pittsburgh. total to 17, tying a club record for a nine-inning game.

The biggest of the 17 whiffs came in the first as Latos tightroped out of a basesloaded, one-out jam. Third baseman Todd Frazier got the first out with a spectacular diving grab on a liner by Casey McGehee, a smash hit so hard Latos started looking in left field for the ball only to see Frazier lift up his glove.

“Luckily I got it in the

glove,” Frazier said. “It almost snuck out at the end. I was holding it up there, trying to let him know. I knew Matty would do his thing. Whatever you can do to help is great, and he can help himself.”

Latos then caught Nate McLouth looking with a 94 mph fastball to escape. The Pirates didn’t get a runner to third during Latos’ final five innings.

“We had a chance to take

the game in a different direction in the first inning and we did not,” Pittsburgh manager Clint Hurdle said.

Drew Stubbs had three hits, including a two-run homer, and scored three times for the Reds. Frazier added his first home run of the season as Cincinnati continued its strong play in series finales. The Reds are 8-1 on getaway days, including 5-0 on Sundays.

QUOTE OF THE DAY “We’d love to take the week (off) but it’s not in the cards for us to do that in this round.”

—Dwyana Wade, after the Miami Heat lost to the New York Knicks in playoff action on Sunday

NUMBERS GAME 3 — Runs allowed in three games by the Baltimore Orioles against the Yankees in New York. Jason Hammel, Brian Matusz and Jake Arrieta were the Orioles’ starting pitchers. It was the first time since 1976 that Baltimore had accomplished that. Hall of Famer Jim Palmer, Rudy May and Mike Flanagan were the Baltimore pitchers who shut down the Yankees back then.

7 — RBIs in a game last week by Philadelphia’s catcher Carlos Ruiz in the Phillies’ 15-13 loss to the Braves. That was the third time since 2007 that a player has driven in seven runs for a losing team.

2:12 — The time Joe Blanton needed to three-hit the Atlanta Braves in a noon game after a marathon 15-13 Braves’ win the night before.

JOCKEY MARIO Gutierrez rides I’ll Have Another to victory in the 138th Kentucky Derby horse race at Churchill Downs Sat-

urday in Louisville, Ky.

On to Preakness for I’ll Come Running LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Doug O’Neill spent all evening celebrating I’ll Have Another’s victory in the Kentucky Derby, finally returning to his hotel room about 2 a.m. Sunday.

The party began at the trainer’s barn at Churchill Downs, moved to a charity dinner and ended up at a downtown hotel where the colt’s owner, J. Paul Reddam, had reserved the 25th floor for about 100 people.

As O’Neill walked to his room, he saw dozens of morning newspapers lining the hallway. The bold black headline blared, “I’ll Have Another!” with a huge photo of the chestnut colt edging past Bodemeister to win the Derby by 11/2 lengths.

“Whoa, that really was an unbelievable feeling,” the trainer said. “That was another stamp that it really happened.”

O’Neill isn’t wasting any time in sending I’ll Have Another to Maryland for the second leg of the Triple Crown.

The colt will fly from

Louisville to Baltimore on Monday, making him the earliest arriving Derby winner since Monarchos showed up at Pimlico four days after his 2001 win.

I’ll Have Another is in position to win horse racing’s first Triple Crown since 1978 when Affirmed swept the Derby, Preakness and Belmont Stakes within a five-week span.

“I get goose bumps just thinking about it,” O’Neill said. “I think he is the kind of horse who can maintain his form and keep it going.”

I’ll Have Another likely will be seeing some of his old rivals again in Baltimore.

Seven Derby horses might run in the 1 3-16-mile Preakness, led by runner-up Bodemeister. The other possibilities are Went the Day Well (fourth), Creative Cause (fifth), Liaison (sixth), Union Rags (seventh), Hansen (ninth) and Optimizer (11th). Went the Day Well sustained a cut on his right front ankle in the Derby, but trainer Graham Motion said it wasn’t a problem.

Seven new candidates are on tap, too.

They are: Pretension and Brimstone Island, the top two finishers in the Canonero II Stakes on Saturday at Pimlico; Cozzetti; Hierro and Paynter, the top two finishers in the Derby Trial at Churchill; Jerome Stakes winner The Lumber Guy; and Tiger Walk.

O’Neill, based at Betfair Hollywood Park in Inglewood, Calif., last ran a horse in Maryland six years ago when Thor’s Echo won the Grade 1 De Francis Memorial Dash on his way to winning an Eclipse Award as the nation’s top sprinter. Reddam has owned one previous Preakness starter — Wilko, who was 12th in 2005.

O’Neill plans to briefly return to California before heading back East this week.

He told his young son and daughter that if I’ll Have Another won the Derby, the family would get a hot tub.

“We are going to have to do some shopping now,” he said.

Five-time Preakness winner Bob Baffert plans to keep his two Derby runners, Bodemeister and Liaison, along with Paynter, at Churchill before deciding next weekend whether to take on I’ll Have Another in Baltimore.

“I will let him tell me if he’s ready, like I did with Lookin At Lucky,” Baffert said about Bodemeister, who led most of the Derby until getting caught late by I’ll Have Another.

In 2010, Lookin At Lucky finished sixth as the Derby favorite and went on to win the Preakness.

“With Lookin At Lucky, the day after the Derby I told them, ‘We’re not going to run,’” Baffert said. “The next Monday I said, ‘Not only are we going, we’re going to win this.’

I’ve got to wait and see if he shows me a spark.”

Four of the top six places in the Derby went to horses based in Southern California.

Besides I’ll Have Another and Bodemeister, Creative Cause was fifth and Liaison was sixth.

Versailles wins, four tied for MAC lead The Minster Division IV Sectional Tournament got under way with four Midwest Athletic Conference teams playing, but the tournament was upstaged by two other MAC teams playing a crucial league game Saturday.

The Versailles Tigers scored six times in their final two at-bats to hand New Bremen a 7-3 setback, and leave the MAC with four teams tied atop the standings with two losses apiece.

New Bremen went into the game with just one league loss, but now the Cardinals have two as do Versailles, Minster and Delphos St. John’s.

Overall, the Tigers are 19-6 and New Bremen 11-8.

New Bremen got three in the top of the fourth to lead 3-1, and it stayed that way until the bottom of the fifth, when the Tigers got two to tie.

Then in the sixth, they erupted for four more.

Ethan Bruns led the Tigers with three hits, half the Tiger total.

For Bremen, Luke Schwieterman had a double.

Zach Niekamp got the win in relief for the Tigers, and he and Bruns combined for nine strikeouts and no walks.

Brent Bertke pitched well for Bremen, fanning seven and walking two.

The linescore:

run in the bottom of the seventh to defeat Marion Local 1-0.

Marion Local pitcher Craig Niekamp did not allow a hit over the first 62/3 innings against St. Henry.

But Derek Rindler’s base hit came after a walk and a wild pitch, and plated the game’s only run.

Recovery will play Minster at 5 p.m.

Wednesday and St. Henry plays New Bremen at 7:30.

REDS Latos is more of a fireballer, though he’s struggled this spring after being acquired in an offseason trade with San Diego. The 24-yearold dropped his first two decisions before bouncing back to pitch seven shutout innings against San Francisco on April 24, only to slip against the light-hitting Astros last week, giving up a careerworst 10 hits.

Command has been an issue, and so has the lack of a strikeout pitch for one of baseball’s top young arms. Latos came in with 18 strikeouts in 28 2-3 innings. It took one game to get his groove back.

Latos struck out four straight at one point, and his only mistakes over his final five innings were a pair of harmless singles.

“He told me (after the game) that he wasn’t

From Page 13 feeling good,” Frazier said. “It didn’t look like it on the mound. Good for him. Hopefully he feels like that every time he pitches.”

Pittsburgh rode stellar pitching and defense to scratch out a taut 3-2 victory on Saturday but had issues in both departments less than 24 hours later. The Pirates committed a pair of errors — including a botched pickoff attempt

by Morton that led to the game’s first run — and left nine runners on base.

Morton couldn’t get his trademark sinker to sink and the Reds took full advantage. Frazier drilled a shot into the bleachers in the second for his first home run since Sept. 2, and Stubbs pushed Cincinnati’s lead to 4-0 in the fourth when his fly ball sailed just over the wall in rightcenter.

Keselowski pushed to win TALLADEGA, Ala. (AP) — The leader on the last lap isn’t supposed to win at Talladega Superspeedway.

Everybody knows that.

Brad Keselowski disagrees, and he showed how to do it Sunday with a calculated plan that sent him to Victory Lane.

Keselowski used a big push from Kyle Busch to pass leader Matt Kenseth, and after leaving the Daytona 500 winner in their wake, Keselowski staved off Busch’s attempt to snatch the win.

Using a move Keselowski said he had dreamed about, he held on for his second win of the season and second at Talladega.

“I had this whole plan if I ever got in that situation where I was leading; I thought about it and thought about it, dreamed about what to do, and

It worked because the guy running second should have the advantage, but I had this move all worked up in my mind.”

Keselowski was the first driver in the last five races at Talladega to take the white flag and hold on for the win. He did it with a plan that left both Busch and

Kenseth flat-footed, and both praised Keselowski after the race.

“He’s no dummy, that’s for sure,” said Busch, who wound up second for the second consecutive day.

Busch was the leader on the last lap of Saturday’s Nationwide Series race, and was passed by Joey Logano right at the finish line. He conceded there’s little the leader can do to preserve the victory on the last lap of

“If you’re leading, being pushed, plan on finishing second. That’s all there is to it,” Busch said after Saturday’s defeat.

So he should have been sitting pretty after pushing Keselowski to the front. Instead, Keselowski went high into the third turn, then pulled off of Busch’s bumper to create some separation.

“That allowed me to drive untouched to the checkered flag,” Keselowski said. “It wasn’t easy to convince myself to do that, but it was the right move.”

Kasey Kahne finished fourth and was followed

The odds are against your staying healthy.

You are foolish to tempt fate. The fact that you tolerate so much alcohol is not a sign of your immunity to it; it’s a sign that you have developed a tolerance and that you are on the road to alcoholism.

I hope I’ve made a point with you.

DEAR DR. DONOHUE: My uncle died of esophageal cancer at 83.

What causes it? He died rapidly, only one month after the diagnosis was made. There was talk about an operation, but he had so many health problems that the doctor believed he couldn’t tolerate surgery. Could other treatments have worked? — R.C. ANSWER: Cigarette smoking and excessive

alcohol drinking are risk factors for developing esophageal cancer. Other possible influences include eating too much red meat, a deficiency of zinc, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD, heartburn) and some viral infections. For many, a cause cannot be found.

Your uncle’s death was rapid. Estimates of the length of time it takes normal esophageal cells to become cancer is around five years. In those years, few symptoms arise, so the process continues unrecognized. By the time a person complains of pain or trouble swallowing, the cancer has advanced quite far.

Surgery is the usual treatment.

Radiation and chemotherapy make life more livable for those unable to undergo a surgical procedure.

May 7, 1912 A large crowd congregated on the east side of the square this afternoon to hear William Jennings Bryan speak against the candidacy of Governor Harmon, whom he said was the prince of the reactionaries.

Representative Charles M. Wyman introduced Mr. Bryan, speaking of him as “the best beloved American and champion of the common people.

——— The two-story residence of William McClure, just west of the corporation line on the Hardin pike, burned to the ground at noon today. The house is known as the old Hall homestead.

——— Word was received from Columbus today requesting that the transfer of title to the new site for the armory here to the State of Ohio be effected as soon as possible. The communication from B.L. Bargar, of the state armory commission, said there is a chance the armory may be constructed this year.

Word of the Week

Celebrating

National Nurses Week is a celebration to honor nurses, starting May 6 and ending May 12. The last day of Nurses Week was chosen to honor one single nurse in history. May 12 is the birthdate of one of the most honored nurses, Florence Nightingale.

The foundation of nursing today was built many years ago by Florence Nightingale. She was often referred to as "The lady with the lamp" because of the way she would carry a lantern at night to check on her patients (wounded soldiers).

Florence Nightingale transformed the role of the nurse into a skilled and well respected member of the medical profession. A true visionary, Florence was noted to be the first researcher in nursing, using her notes to collect information (data) allowing her to analyze (compare) what helped her patients heal and feel better. By doing this, one of Florence's contributions to nursing research was able to show that fresh air, natural light, cleanliness, clean pure water and working sewage drainage would help the patients heal. This

may be very basic information to us in today's world, although back in the 1800s no one had thought about theses things before. Her dedication to nursing was responsible for decreasing the death toll among soldiers. Her research and data collection techniques are still used today.

The field of health care has undergone monumental changes since Florence first laid the foundation for the nursing profession.

Nurses are not just found at the bedside in a hospital setting. They can be found in many areas of health care for example: general doctor's offices, specialty doctor's offices, home care (where the nurse comes to your house), transport nurse (taking patients from one hospital to another by ambulance or helicopter) to mention a few. Nursing is not a profession for only women as it was in Florence's era. More men are becoming nurses today. They are welcomed with open arms into the profession. The advancement in technology and medicines has transformed health care and the nursing role virtually in every

Despite the changes in nursing there are a few things that have not changed over the years and should never change, Nurses are still the primary patient advocate.

ing he wanted to take more pictures of it. He had created this new look the old-fashioned way – with a carving knife.

"Read what the Great Cosmic Turnip has to say before it's too late, and Jefferson is wiped off the face of the earth," Jake warned.

This was met with laughter and smart-alecky comments from the crowd.

Gradually, they started to turn away, with several people making twirling, crazy-as-aloon motions around their ears.

Not a single person had bought a newspaper.

Frustrated, Jake dropped the turnip to the ground and gave it a kick. It rolled toward me.

"These Southerners aren't as dumb as I thought," he said.

Looking at the nearby ball of string and the monsterfaced turnip wobbling my way, I had a brainstorm. I'm good with string. I rigged up a haunted house once at Halloween, making it seem like doors and windows were opening and shutting by themselves. I used string to cause towels and stuff to fall from the ceiling onto folks. It spooked out a lot of my friends – and even some of their parents.

I picked up Jake's ball of string and grabbed the turnip. Quickly, while the crowd was starting to leave, I tied the string around it and tossed it over a tree limb. Now, hiding behind Felix's statue, I tugged on the string.

The turnip rose and hovered about ten feet in the air.

The Ghost in the Courthouse Statue Written by Bill Bailey Illustrated by Michelle Duckworth Chapter 6 Miracle turnip discovered in Jefferson

I had been working on a deep, grown-man's voice. Now was my chance to use it. "Well, I'll be hornswoggled!"

I said. "That there turnip's flying!"

A woman took a look and let out a shriek.

Others turned and stared in amazement.

But I hadn't tied the string tight enough, and it slipped off. The huge vegetable plopped to the ground. With all eyes on the turnip, I couldn't do anything to rescue the situation.

Out of desperation, I turned to the statue.

If there was a ghost in there, now would sure be a good time for him to help us out.

"Felix, I know Jake's a little odd," I began.

"A leetle?!" a voice said.

Okay, it could have been a voice in my head. But there was nothing to lose in answering it.

"It's all part of Jake's plan to catch those bad guys that Mr. Elder was after," I said.

"You want that, too, don't you?"

"But Meester Passmore ees... how you say... ze fruitcake," the voice said. Either my imagination was out of control again, or this was actually happening.

"Please help," I pleaded. "We need you."

The turnip lay there for several seconds. I heard a deep sigh, the kind someone makes when he's giving in. Then, slowly, the turnip rose into the air about a foot off the ground – this time, with no string attached. The stunned crowd watched as it climbed higher and higher.

I squeezed my eyes closed, then popped them wide open to make sure I wasn't imagining it. The turnip was still rising.

This was the real deal – a flying monster-faced turnip!

not the turnip man, are you? The one Uncle George always talked about? The one and only Billy Wayne, the man who grows the biggest gosh-darned turnips on this planet?"

Billy Wayne's eyes lit up. "Well I wouldn't say – " " – Well, I would," said Jake. "By the way, did you say this turnip was grown organically?"

Billy Wayne held the turnip with great pride. "Mother Nature ain't had no help with this-un."

Jake flashed a toothy grin. "In that case we'll hafta help the old gal out."

He knelt down low, aiming the camera up at the turnip to make it look bigger.

STORY SO FAR: When Jake meets with his newspaper staff, his sensationalistic ideas offend them. After the staff meeting, Jake says he's only pretending to be a crazy editor who will fill the newspaper with wild news stories.

He says the nutty news is a trick to make the local crooks think the newspaper isn't watching them - so that he can catch them off guard and expose them. Donnie doesn't totally trust Jake but feels drawn to him, because he makes life exciting.

As Mom, Humpty, and I listened to Jake's pep talk about his new plans, the front door bell rang.

In shuffled Billy Wayne Hatcher in his bib overalls, toting a giant turnip. He plopped it on the front counter with a thud that shook the room.

Mrs. Buntin stepped up to the front counter. "Hi, Billy Wayne. What've you got there?"

Bursting with pride, Billy Wayne boomed, "I reckon I got the biggest gol-danged turnip in Jefferson, once't again."

Even though we could see and hear Billy Wayne from the editor's office, Jake ignored the interruption. "You're my team," he said.

"We've gotta be on the same page."

Staring at Jake through a big plate glass window, Billy Wayne blurted, "George Elder, he run ever' piece 'a produce I ever brung in here - my 20-pound tomater, giant watermillon – " " – Thank you sir, but we don't run that kind of news anymore," Jake said, poking his head out his office door. "Too boring."

Billy Wayne gave Jake a long look, sizing him up. "I don't know where you come from, but this turnip's gonna be mighty big news down here," he said. "I don't wanna brag, but it's the biggest one ever growed 'round these parts."

"Not interested," Jake barked, frowning.

"Good day, sir." Turning back to us, he said, "Now where was I?" But Billy Wayne wasn't through. "Mister, you and your lousy newspaper ain't worth the spit on George's shoes," he snapped. "I got a good mind to cancel my prescription."

"Then you should go to Ed's Pharmacy – right down the street," Jake shot back. "We only handle subscriptions here."

"Well, how's about this, then?" said Billy Wayne. "Stop sending me the dad-blamed paper! With someone like you in charge, it ain't fittin' to read. That clear enough for you?"

Snatching his prized possession off the counter, Billy Wayne stomped toward the front door. Even though he was angry, he carried the turnip carefully like it was a rare jewel. "This baby's all-natchrul," he muttered to himself. "Ain't used Miracle Gro or nuthin'.

And this is the kind of treatment I get."

Jake had taken a couple of steps toward us when suddenly an idea stopped him in his tracks. He whipped his head around.

"Miracle? Hmmm..." he said, twiddling his fingers rapidly in the air. I've never seen such a quick change come over a guy. In a second, his sour, irritated look had shifted into a wide, excited grin.

He sniffed like he was smelling for the turnip, tapped his "nose for news," and gave Mom and me a wink. "Miracle.... Yes, of course...."

In one fluid motion, Jake glided out of his office, scooped a camera off a desk, and rushed over to Billy Wayne. Just as the upset man reached for the door, an arm fell across his shoulder. In a voice all warm and fuzzy, Jake said, "Now hold on there, friend. You're

CAUTION Whether posting or responding to an advertisement, watch out for offers to pay more than the advertised price for the item. Scammers will send a check and ask the seller to wire the excess through Western Union (possibly for courier fees).

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

While banks and Western Union branches are trained at spotting fake checks, these types of scams are growing increasingly sophisticated and fake checks often aren't caught for weeks.

Funds wired through Western Union or MoneyGram are irretrievable and virtually untraceable.

If you have questions regarding scams like these or others, please contact the Ohio Attorney General’s office at (800)282-0515.
