Bicycle Safety Day set Saturday WAPAKONETA — The fifth annual Bicycle Safety Day will be held Saturday from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Miller Building at the Auglaize County Fairgrounds. The event, which was established by Marlene Froning, of Wapakoneta, is being held with the assistance of the Wapakoneta Fire Department, Wapakoneta Police Department, Bike Patrol, Auglaize County Sheriff’s Office DARE Program, the Brain Injury Association of Lima and the Revolution Cycling Team. “Bicycle safety holds a close place to my heart due to losing a son, Keith Wesley, in a bicycle/car accident on Aug. 2, 1983,” said Froning. “He was only 9 years old, full of life and potential, when he was taken from our family all too soon.” Free bicycle helmets will be given to children under the age of 18. A bicycle rodeo will also be held. Drawings will be held for free bicycles. Guest speakers will be race car drivers and BMX pro riders. “This particular event, along with the bike rodeo, is important because it’s a constant reinforcement in keeping kids safe on their bikes and educating them on the rules of the road,” said Auglaize County DARE Officer Sam Blank. “Over the years there has definitely been a growth in the event’s popularity and it seems the word is getting out, so while they’re here the kids are not only having fun but building the fundamentals they need to become safer and more skillful riders.” A free bicycle and helmet inspection will also be held. Parents should accompany their children at the event. For more information, call (419) 738-8267.

Police: Ohio captive suffered 5 miscarriages BY THOMAS J. SHEERAN Associated Press CLEVELAND (AP) — Prosecutors said Thursday they may seek the death penalty against Ariel Castro, the man accused of imprisoning three women at his home for a decade, as police charged that he impregnated one of his captives at least five times and made her miscarry by starving her and punching her in the belly. The horrific allegations were contained in a police report that also said another one of the women, Amanda Berry, was forced to give birth in a plastic kiddie pool. Cuyahoga County prosecutor Timothy McGinty said his office will decide whether to bring aggravated murder charges punishable by death in connection with the pregnancies that were terminated by force. “Capital punishment must be reserved for those crimes that are truly the worst examples of human conduct,” he said. “The reality is we still have brutal criminals in our midst who have no respect for the rule of law or human life.” Castro, a 52-year-old former school bus driver, is being held on $8 million bail under a suicide watch in jail, where he is charged with rape and kidnapping. McGinty said Castro will be charged for every act of sexual violence, assault and other crimes committed against the women, suggesting the counts could number in

DEFENSE ATTORNEY Kathleen DeMetz talks with Pedro Castro as Onil Castro (left) watches and Ariel Castro (right) looks down, in Cleveland Municipal Court Thursday. Ariel Castro was charged with four counts of kidnapping and three counts of rape. Pedro Castro pleaded no contest to an unrelated open-container charge in court Monday. Two unrelated misdemeanor charges against Onil Castro were dropped. Police announced on Thursday afternoon that 54year-old Pedro Castro and 50-year-old Onil Castro had been released from jail. the hundreds, if not thousands. Among the chilling details in the police report, obtained Thursday by news organizations: • Berry, now 27, told officers that she was forced to give birth in a plastic pool in the house so it would be easier to clean up. Berry said she, her baby, now 6, and the two other rescued women had never been to a doctor during their captivity. • Michelle Knight, now 32, said her five pregnancies ended after Castro starved her for at least two weeks and “repeatedly punched her in the stomach until she miscarried.” She also said Castro forced her to deliver Berry’s baby under threat
of death if the infant died. Knight said that when the newborn stopped breathing, she revived the child through mouth-tomouth resuscitation. • All three women said Castro chained them up in the basement but eventually let them live upstairs on the second floor. Each woman told a similar story about being abducted after accepting a ride from Castro. During his brief arraignment Thursday, Castro tried to hide his face, tucking his chin inside his collar. He appeared to close his eyes during the hearing and awkwardly signed documents while handcuffed. He did not speak or enter a plea. In court, prosecutor
Brian Murphy said Castro used the women “in whatever self-gratifying, self-serving way he saw fit.” Kathleen DeMetz, a public defender assigned to represent him at the hearing, didn’t comment on his guilt or innocence or object when prosecutors recommended bail be set at $5 million. The judge, instead, ordered Castro held on $8 million. Castro has been under arrest since Monday, when Berry broke out of his run-down house and called 911 while he was away. Police found the two other women inside. The women had vanished separately between 2002 and 2004 when they 14, 16 and 20.
Ohio top judge wants nonpartisan judge primaries BY JULIE CARR SMYTH Associated Press COLUMBUS (AP) — Party labels would be stripped from Ohio’s judicial primaries as one of a series of election reforms that the state Supreme Court chief justice unveiled to fellow lawyers on Thursday. Chief Justice Maureen O’Connor told the Ohio State Bar Association’s annual convention in Cleveland that she is recommending an eightpoint plan including nonpartisan primaries, more cameras in courtrooms
and more experienced judges in order to strengthen public engagement and trust in the judiciary. “Now is the time to revisit this topic once and for all, not to do away with judicial elections, which voters made clear they want, but to strengthen them,” O’Connor said. But O’Connor’s plan ignores the critical issue of campaign contributions in judicial elections, said Justice Bill O’Neill, the lone Democrat on the seven-member high court. He called Ohio’s

unique practice of naming the party of judicial candidates during primaries but not during general elections “odd at best,” but said that’s not the problem. “If you look at the chief’s proposal, all she’s going to do is make the well-heeled contributors only have to write one check rather than two,” he said. “Any serious proposal will address the corrosive effect that money has on the existing system. There is no question that justice is for sale in Ohio today.” O’Connor said she doesn’t claim to have all the answers but comes to her list after close review of past reform efforts, including the 2003 Next Steps conference and the 2009 Forum on Judicial Selection led by thenChief Justice Thomas Moyer, who died in 2010. Other ideas on which she’ll be gathering public input include: • raising the position of judicial races on the ballot to increase voter participation; • moving judicial races to odd-numbered years to avoid information overload for the public and judges’ races getting “lost in the shuffle” of more high-profile elected offices; • increasing the basic qualifications for judges to better reflect the court on which they serve; • lengthening judges’ terms from the current six years to between eight and 12 years, depending on the court; • centralizing and expanding civic educational and voting resources on judicial elections; • establishing a formal, nonpartisan system
for recommending nominees to the governor for judicial vacancies; • allowing the Ohio Senate to weigh in on Supreme Court appointments. O’Connor was greeted with applause during Thursday’s event when she declared: “Party affiliation has no place in judicial elections, period.” Her initiative comes as polls show the public views judges as susceptible to political influence, yet a strong majority of Ohioans oppose doing away with judicial elections altogether, she said. Of 22 states that elect judges, 14 have nonpartisan elections and seven have overtly political contests. Ohio is the only state in the nation that identifies the party of prospective judges in its primaries and then sends winners into a general election in which party labels aren’t used. O’Connor, the state’s first female chief justice, wants to see Ohio join states with nonpartisan judicial races with the aim of reassuring the public that courts are unbiased. Ohio League of Women Voters President Nancy Brown praised O’Connor for attempting to reduce partisanship and for opening a public dialogue on improving judicial elections. The league supports appointed judges who stand for retention elections, but Brown said “even without such a change, the current system can be improved and made more effective in insuring that we have capable judges and that the citizens of Ohio have confidence in their judges.”

Suspect’s daughter ‘sorry’ to victim, friend CLEVELAND (AP) — The daughter of Ohio kidnapping and rape suspect Ariel Castro says she’s embarrassed and devastated by her father’s alleged actions. Arlene Castro told ABC’s “Good Morning America” on Thursday that she is extremely sorry about everything. Her father is suspected of keeping three women captive in his Cleveland home for close to 10 years and sexually assaulting them. He made his first court appearance Thursday. Arlene Castro was a friend of one of the women, Gina DeJesus. Arlene was walking home from school with DeJesus in April 2004 just before she disappeared. A tearful Arlene Castro says she’d like to see her friend again and wants her to meet her children. Castro, who now lives in Indiana, says she and her father were never really close and that they only had short conversations in recent years.
Shots fired at car in Ohio court escape BELLAIRE (AP) — A West Virginia man trying to escape from custody at a courthouse on Thursday jumped into a getaway car driven by an Ohio woman, but a deputy shot the car’s tire and the man and the woman were arrested, a sheriff said. Belmont County Sheriff David Lucas said one deputy had been in front of the car and another was struggling to get the suspect out when a third deputy shot the tire to prevent the car from being used “for escape and as a weapon against the other officers.” No serious injuries were reported in the shooting outside the Belmont County courthouse in Bellaire, in eastern Ohio. One sheriff’s detective said he suffered a minor injury to his leg when he was trying to get the man out of the car and get the driver to stop. Detective Sgt. Ryan Allar said he dived into the car and was struggling with the occupants when another deputy stopped the car by shooting the tires. Allar said he and some other deputies were in the courthouse when the man, later identified as Sylvester Walker, 20, of Wheeling, W.Va., became angry with a judge who ordered him arrested. He said Walker then fled the courthouse with the
deputies chasing him. Allar said he first tried to get Walker out of the car and then went to the driver’s side, ordering the woman to stop. “I was reaching across her, with the man’s shirt in my hand, when he pulled away and jumped out of the car,” Allar said. Walker was quickly apprehended at the edge of a wooded area, and he and the woman driver — Nicole Gust, 19, of Bellaire — were taken to the Belmont County Jail in St. Clairsville, Lucas said. Lucas said Walker is being held in jail on charges including escape and criminal damaging. Gust is being held on charges of felonious assault and complicity to escape, the sheriff said. Lucas said he did not know the reason Walker was in court Thursday morning. It could not immediately be determined whether the two have attorneys yet. Officials from Ohio’s Bureau of Criminal Investigation were called to help in the investigation being handled by the Bellaire police, a dispatcher said. Messages left for BCI also were not immediately returned. The man was at a hearing around 10 a.m. in the Eastern Division Court of Belmont County when he fled, a court official said.
Two teens dead, one in custody in Amber alert case OTTAWA — Two boys are dead and one boy is in custody in a case that came to the public’s attention through an Amber alert that was later cancelled. Lt. Josh Strick of the Ottawa Police Department reported, "the 17-year-old male that was located in the vehicle in Columbus, Ohio, gave the location of the bodies of the previously missing juveniles." Police and sheriff's officials declined to release additional information. Earlier in the day, they identified 17-year-old Michael Aaron Fey as the boy found with a missing silver 2006 Chevrolet HHR with license plate FNN 5412 on it. An earlier press release from the Putnam County Sheriff's Office described the trailer as an apparent crime scene. Police originally issued an Amber Alert around 11:30 a.m. before cancelling it around 2:30 p.m. Officials had hoped to find Blaine Romes, 14; and Blake Aaron Romes, 17; who lived with Fey at Lot 61 of the Elkcrest Trailer Park at 1570 N. Perry St., Ottawa, according a press release. The mother called the Ottawa Police Department at 5:31 a.m. today to discover what appeared to be a crime scene. A silver 2006 Chevy HHR with license plate FNN 5412 was also missing, Strick said. He declined to release additional information on the apparent crime scene. The Bureau of Criminal Identification and Investigation assisted in the investigation and helped process the scene. Putnam County activated the Amber Alert system, as well as issuing a Code Red phone call to residents.
NATION/WORLD TODAY IN HISTORY BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Today is Friday, May 10, the 130th day of 2013. There are 235 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On May 10, 1863, during the Civil War, Confederate Lt. Gen. Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson died of pneumonia, a complication resulting from being hit by friendly fire eight days earlier during the Battle of Chancellorsville in Virginia. On this date: • In 1774, Louis XVI acceded to the throne of France. • In 1775, Ethan Allen and his Green Mountain Boys, along with Col. Benedict Arnold, captured the British-held fortress at Ticonderoga, N.Y. • In 1865, Union forces captured Confederate President Jefferson Davis in Irwinville, Ga. • In 1869, a golden spike was driven in Promontory, Utah, marking the completion of the first transcontinental railroad in the United States. • In 1913, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a resolution calling upon all federal officials, from the president on down, to wear a white carnation the following day in observance of Mother’s Day. • In 1924, J. Edgar Hoover was given the job of FBI director. • In 1933, the Nazis staged massive public book burnings in Germany. • In 1941, Adolf Hitler’s deputy, Rudolf Hess, parachuted into Scotland on what he claimed was a peace mission. (Hess ended up serving a life sentence at Spandau prison until 1987, when he apparently committed suicide.) • In 1963, the Rolling Stones recorded their first single for Decca Records in London, covering Chuck Berry’s “Come On” (which ended up being redone) and “I Want to Be Loved” by Willie Dixon. • In 1973, the New York Knicks won the NBA Finals, defeating the Los Angeles Lakers in Game 5, 102-93. • In 1984, the International Court of Justice said the United States should halt any actions to blockade Nicaragua’s ports (the U.S. had already said it would not recognize World Court jurisdiction on this issue). • In 1993, members of the Senate Armed Services Committee visited the Norfolk Naval Base in Virginia for a hearing on the issue of homosexuals in the military; most of the sailors who spoke said they favored keeping the ban on gays. At least 188 workers were killed in a doll factory fire in Bangkok, Thailand.

Scratch-andsniff cards create scare GREAT FALLS, Mont. (AP) — Those scratch-andsniff cards the energy company sends to customers to teach them to recognize the artificial smell added to natural gas? Turns out they work pretty well. Energy West general manager Nick Bohr tells the Great Falls Tribune that workers recently discarded several boxes of expired scratch-and-sniff cards in Great Falls. But when the garbage truck picked them up and compressed the load Bohr says “it was the same as if they had scratched them.” The resulting odor prompted numerous false alarms and building evacuations as the garbage truck traveled through downtown Great Falls on Wednesday morning, leaving the smell in its trail. Bohr says the company apologizes for the disruption.

U.S. home building is surging; job growth isn’t BY ALEX VEIGA Associated Press The resurgent U.S. housing market has sent builders calling again for Richard Vap, who owns a drywall installation company. Vap would love to help — if he could hire enough qualified people. “There is a shortage of manpower,” says Vap, owner of South Valley Drywall in Littleton, Colo. “We’re probably only hiring about 75 or 80 percent of what we actually need.” U.S. builders and the subcontractors they depend on are struggling to hire fast enough to meet rising demand for new homes. Builders would be starting work on more homes — and contributing more to the economy — if they could fill more job openings. In the meantime, workers in the right locations with the right skills are commanding higher pay. The shortage of labor ranges across occupations — from construction superintendents and purchasing agents to painters, cabinet makers and drywall installers. The National Association of Home Builders says its members have complained of too few framers, roofers, plumbers and carpenters. The shortage is most acute in areas where demand for
new homes has recovered fastest, notably in Arizona, California, Texas, Colorado and Florida. The problem results largely from an exodus of workers from the industry after the housing bubble burst. Experienced construction workers lost jobs. And many found new work — in commercial building or in booming and sometimes higher-paying industries like mining and natural gas drilling — and aren’t eager to come back. Hispanic immigrants, largely from Mexico, who had filled jobs during the boom were among those who left the industry and, in some cases, the United States. Dave Erickson, president of Greyhawk Homes in Columbus, Ga., lost an employee who took a job this year in Texas. The former employee is now installing fiber-optic cable and earning 30 percent more than he did as a construction supervisor. “I think he’s frustrated with the cycle we went through in recent years,” Erickson says. A shortage of labor in a well-paying industry might seem incongruous in an economy stuck with a still-high 7.5 percent unemployment rate. But it reflects just how many former skilled construction workers have moved on to
other fields. In 2006, when the boom peaked, 3.4 million people worked in homebuilding. By 2011, the figure had bottomed at about 2 million. As of last month, about 2.1 million people were employed in residential construction. Jobs in the industry did rise 4.1 percent in April from a year earlier, faster than overall U.S. job growth. But they’d have to surge 24 percent more to reach 2.6 million, their 2002 level — “the last time the market was normal,” says David Crowe, chief economist for the National Association of Home Builders. For now, the industry is building faster than it’s hiring. In February, builders began work on single-family homes at the fastest pace in five years. And in March, new home construction broke the 1 million mark for the first time since June 2008. Permits for future construction are also near a five-year high. In the 12 months that ended in March, housing starts surged 47 percent. Yet over the same period, the industry’s employment grew just 3.7 percent. Normally, a rebound in home construction helps propel an economy after a recession. But even with the steady gains in housing starts, sales and prices since last year, the industry remains below levels considered healthy.
Syria to supply weapons to militia BEIRUT (AP) — Syria will supply “game-changing” weapons to Hezbollah, the chief of the Lebanese militant group said Thursday, less than a week after Israeli airstrikes on Damascus targeted alleged shipments of advanced Iranian missiles bound for Hezbollah. Israel has signaled it will respond with airstrikes to any future weapons shipments, meaning it could quickly get drawn into Syria’s civil war if the Hezbollah chief’s declaration is more than an empty threat Tension has been rising in the region since Israel struck targets inside Syria on Friday and Sunday. Hezbollah and Israel fought several battles in the past three decades, including a 34-day war in 2006 that left some 1,200 Lebanese and 160 Israelis dead. Israel has largely tried to stay out of Syria’s 26-monthold conflict. It never acknowledged the airstrikes, but Israeli officials have signaled Israel’s air force would strike against any shipments of strategic missiles that might be bound for Hezbollah. Israel and Hezbollah have been exchanging threats over the past months. Israeli officials say the Lebanese militant group has tens of thousands of rockets, though most of them are unguided. The shipments targeted last week included precision-guided missiles, the officials said. Hezbollah chief Sheik Hassan Nasrallah has said in the past that his group has missiles that can strike anywhere in Israel, including as far south as the Red Sea resort of Eilat. Meanwhile, Hezbollah and Iran have become increasingly involved in Syria’s civil war, supplying troops and military advisers to help Syrian President Bashar Assad fight armed rebels trying to oust him. Nasrallah spoke Thursday to mark the 25th anniversary of the founding of Hezbollah’s radio station, Al-Nour, in a speech televised in Beirut. Nasrallah has rarely appeared in public since the 2006 war, for fear of being targeted by Israel. Nasrallah said Hezbollah could expect strategic weapons from Syria in the future. “Syria will give the resistance special weapons it never had before,” Nasrallah said. “We mean game-changing.”

BOSTON POLICE Commissioner Edward Davis testifies before the House Homeland Security Committee at a hearing on “The Boston Bombings: A First Look,” on Capitol Hill in Washington Thursday. Photos of those who were killed at the Boston Marathon bombing are at right.
Boston chief: Wasn’t told FBI got Tsarnaev warn WASHINGTON (AP) — The FBI did not initially share with Boston police the warnings it had received from Russia about one suspect in last month’s marathon bombings, despite the work of four city police representatives on a federal terrorism task force, Boston’s police commissioner told Congress on Thursday. Yet Commissioner Ed Davis acknowledged that police might not have uncovered or disrupted the plot even if they had fully investigated the family of Tamerlan Tsarnaev based on those warnings. The FBI after a cursory investigation closed its assessment on Tsarnaev, who died in a police shootout after the bombings. Boston police learned about the Russian security service warnings only later. “That’s very hard to say. We would certainly look at the information, we would certainly talk to the individual,” Davis said. “From the information I’ve received, the FBI did that, and they closed the case out. I can’t say that I would have come to a different conclusion based upon the information that was known at that particular time.” In Massachusetts, meanwhile, Tsarnaev was secretly buried in an undisclosed location outside Worcester after a weeklong search for a community willing to take the body. Worcester police Sgt. Kerry
Hazelhurst said Thursday the body was no longer in that city and had been entombed, but he would not say where. The congressional hearing was the first in a series to review the government’s initial response to the attacks, ask what information authorities received about Tsarnaev and his brother before the bombings and consider whether everything was handled correctly. Some lawmakers questioned whether Boston police could have more thoroughly investigated Tsarnaev after 2011, based on Russia’s vague warnings then to the FBI and CIA or the discovery by the Homeland Security Department in 2012 that he was traveling to Russia for six months, and whether Justice Department rules intended to protect civil liberties constrained the FBI’s own inquiry. “Why didn’t they involve the local law enforcers who could have stayed on the case and picked up signals from some of the students who interacted with them, from the people in the mosque,” asked former Sen. Joe Lieberman, who also testified. “In this case, aggravatingly, you have two of our great homeland security agencies that didn’t involve before the event the local and state authorities that could have helped us prevent the attack.”
Davis’ testimony revealed a gap in information-sharing between federal and local officials. That was somewhat reminiscent of intelligence failures that preceded the 2001 terror attacks. Unlike those lapses, however, it’s not clear that anything would have been different, whatever coordination there might have been. Led by the FBI, Joint Terrorism Task Forces operate in many cities as a way to bring federal, state and local officials together to share information. The model has existed for decades but, after 9/11, task forces sprouted up in cities nationwide to ensure that police were not out of the loop on investigations like the one the FBI conducted into Tsarnaev. Davis said that while his officers weren’t given specific information about the elder Tsarnaev, they did have access to computer databases maintained by the terrorism task force. Later Thursday, Boston FBI Special Agent in Charge Richard DesLauriers issued a statement detailing how and why representatives from local agencies have access to the databases. He said giving task force members access to the databases provides necessary “accessibility and awareness that otherwise would be unfeasible” given the volume of such investigations.

That will only leave our two youngest, Lovina, 8, and Kevin, 7, in elementary. A reminder to us that time does not stand still.

rhubarbs and strawberries will be the next goodies we look forward to. We have been having winter onions already. The horseradish is coming up nicely and I also see the tea plants coming through the soil. Last night, daughter Loretta, 12, decided she will grill the meat for our supper. Son Benjamin, 13, helped her get the grill going. Loretta grilled hot wings and hamburgers. I made macaroni and cheese to go with that. We also had homemade bread and cinnamon rolls that I made earlier in the day. Also Verena, 15, made chocolate chip cookies and Loretta made peanut butter cookies after school. The sun is shining in the east. Looks like a perfect day to plant the garden. I enjoy planting and can go bare-footed in the soft soil. The ground had been too cold so far. Lots of strawberry varieties to enjoy this time of year, perfect for this pie!

Statistics from the RAND Corp. find that only 30 percent of veterans with PTSD or depression seek help from the VA health system, indicating that 70 percent of veterans with PTSD or depression are fending for themselves with no help or are seeking assistance from community mental health centers, pastors or social service providers. Suicide rates are increasing for returning service members. Preliminary data from the VA shows that the suicide rate for 18- to 29year-old male veterans who have left the military rose 26 percent
from 2005 to 2007, and the rate climbed to record highs by 2010.

Ahrns interns, gains ‘little brother’ Rachael Ahrns, 20, of Fort Loramie, is a busy student at college Rhodes State College, majoring in human service technology. As a requirement of her coursework, Ahrns had to intern at an agency specializing in her major. A former high school volunteer for Big Brothers Big Sisters and current core program volunteer, Ahrns chose to intern at the local agency over the winter semester. Ahrns is matched with 12-year-old Brandon Stotler, son of Tammy Farris, of Sidney. Ahrns and Brandon have been matched for nearly a year. “I decided to become a ‘Big’ because I enjoyed it during high school and heard an advertisement on the radio, which made me want to impact a child’s life,” Ahrns said. “I feel I’m giving him opportunities that he probably wouldn’t have the opportunity to experience.” In addition to her

“I learned that this field of work requires a great deal of patience and organization. I feel it will be a very rewarding line of work as well,” Ahrns said. When asked if she would recommend being a “Big” to anyone else, she said, “I would. Anybody that believes they can make a difference in
a child’s life in a positive way should volunteer. Children really enjoy getting out and having someone in their life that can make a difference.” To learn more about Big Brothers Big Sisters or to volunteer, visit www.bigbrobigsis-shelbydarke.org or call 4927611.

Students put spring break Houston student to good use by giving back among award RUSSIA — Mason Hoying, of Russia, was among 79 students at the University of Akron who used their spring break getaway to give back. Hoying is majoring in biology. This year’s spring break trips took students to North Carolina, Virginia, Mississippi, Georgia, South Carolina and Tennessee for projects that ranged from serving the homeless in soup kitchens to shoreline restoration. Alternative Spring Break, organized by serveAkron, is designed to raise awareness of social issues through eduand cational volunteer-focused opportunities. The low-cost trips provided a three or five-day service experience to teams of 10-50 students. Before heading out on their trips, students met

Students learned new skills and put their classroom knowledge to work to make an impact. Here’s what some of the participants said of their Alternative Spring Break: “The best part about this experience was meeting new people, getting to know myself better, and seeing how much we can impact in a short amount of time.” “The best part about this experience was the University of Akron students!” “The best part of this experience was regaining a positive attitude and being able to spend my time somewhere it is needed and I can contribute positively.” The University of Akron offers more than 300 associate, bachelor’s, master’s, doctorate and law degree programs — with accredi-
tations by 35 professional agencies. With nearly 30,000 students and more than $65 million in research expenditures, UA is among the nation’s strongest public universities focused on innovation, entrepreneurship, and investment in community and economic growth. Programs are targeted to diverse groups of learners, including full-time, parttime and online students, veterans, and adults returning to the classroom. The distinctive Akron Experience enhances postgraduate success through internships and co-ops, academic research (both undergraduate and graduate), study abroad, on-campus student employment, and service projects.

Dean, who has been codirector for four years. For the second year, the committee has enlisted the aid of a dozen high school students. “Those kids are amazing,” she said. “They’ll do anything you ask on a minute’s notice.” Dean said the Sidney High School football team pitched in to move 22 tons of soil to get the Sidney High School practice field ready for the soccer tournament. Dean praised the work of the Sidney Parks and Recreation Department in getting the fields ready for the tournament. “We know from the comments we receive after the tournament that many of the returning teams come back to Mayfest because we have fantastic fields,” she said. Duane Gaier, Sidney parks and recreation director, said city crews, aided by workers from the Shelby County Jail work-release program, have been busy this week getting the fields ready, mowing, cleaning up concession stands, and doing assorted other tasks preparation for the Mayfest Classic. Gaier said some of the teams have rented shelter houses in Tawawa Park, with nearly all of the shelters being booked up for this weekend. “It gives teams a meeting place,” Gaier said. The Mayfest Soccer tournament is the only fundraiser of the year for Shelby County Youth Soccer, which has ap-
From Page 1 proximately 1,000 participants. Jeff Raible, president of the Sidney-Shelby County Chamber of Commerce, said tournament will give the local economy an estimated $750,000 boost. “It’s a welcomed jolt to the economy,” Raible said. The estimate is based on statistics provided by Tourism Ohio (formerly the Ohio Division of Travel and Tourism). Raible said the estimate takes into account that people attending the event will each spend an average of $100 for a day trip and $285 if they stay overnight. Factoring in the players, parents, officials and others attending the event, Raible estimated 5,000 people will descend on Sidney for the tournament. said the Raible Mayfest Classic is one of several major events that will bring an influx of outside dollars to the local economy. Among the other events are Country Concert, the Great Ohio Bicycle Adventure, the Shelby County Fair and the Rebel Run Rod and Custom Nationals. Local hotels report they are nearly booked up for this weekend, primarily due to the tournament. Sidney restaurants also will be busier than usual as soccer families visit the community. Sidney City Manager Mark Cundiff said his first contact with the Mayfest Classic was as a soccer parent several
years ago when he lived in Troy and his daughter played in the tournament. “It’s a nice tournament,” he said, adding that he was impressed by the organization of the event. The tournament also brings many people to the Sidney for the first time. “It gives us the chance to put our best foot forward,” he said, adding that someone visiting the community for the tournament might someday be looking to relocate a business and remember their impression of Sidney. “Stranger things have happened,” he said. Major sponsors for the tournament are (Platinum) Bensar Developments and Holloway Sportswear (Gold) Wilson Sports Medicine, city of Sidney, Emerson Climate Technologies, Ernst Sporting Goods, Hampton Inn, Hits 105.5, McCrate-Delaet and Co.

Field Day wrap-up
The mighty Montgomery brothers
BY: EMILIE CAVINDER Field Day was an all-around success for the Lehman students especially for the senior class who won the spirit sword. The day started off with a corn hole tournament with many students participating. Along with the students, teachers Sister Ginny, Mrs. Wendel, Mr. Schmiesing, and Mr. Albers joined in on the action. The winners of the corn hole tournament were freshman Max Schutt and Ian Smith. The next event in the Field Day madness was a volleyball tournament. Volleyball was very competitive, yet fun. Most teams had matching attire and interesting team names. The obvious winner of the volleyball tournament included three starting varsity volleyball players: Ellie Cain, Andrea Thobe, and Erica Paulus, along with Josh Smith. There was a food eating contest which involved consuming a large piece of cake with no use of your hands. This was by far the messiest event of the day, and the most enjoyable to watch. Quinn Monnin took the lead early, scarfing the cake down as quickly as possible. The award for the messiest competitor, hands down, would have to be Quinton Malone. The class competition started out juniors vs. freshman in the first round of dodge ball. The juniors went on to the second round against the seniors, winner of the seniors vs. sophomores. The seniors made a fantastic entrance just like the movie Dodge Ball. The battle of the upperclassmen began and the seniors took this game, winning their first event. As the tug of war began the freshmen went against the junior class with the junior class defeating them. I have to add that the rope broke and Coach Roll and Mr. Johnson had to tie a knot to make sure it didn’t happen again. The senior class then went against the sophomores, with the seniors taking the win. In the championship, the junior class ended up winning this event. The junior and senior class each had one win as a class, so the tie breaker was the ultimate frisbee game. The senior class had much talent on their team, and won this event as well. This gave their class two wins and the spirit sword and bragging rights. The Lehman student body gives special thanks to the Lehman Cavs 4 a Cure team and Student Council who organized and spent time working all the events.
BY: JOHN HUSA You have more than likely seen their names in the paper lately, or perhaps you have seen them around town. If you have, it is very hard to mistake the two Montgomery brothers. This track season, sophomore Ben and junior Brad are destroying the competition. Both Ben and Brad throw discus and shot for the Lehman track team, and have started the year off hot. The brothers both started doing track in seventh grade, and have a great mentor in their dad, who holds the shot put record at Fairlawn. Brad has been doing particularly well in discus, and is looking to improve his game. His best throw in discus this year is 154’1”, and 47’2” in the shot. Brad has placed first at every meet for discus, except one and he still managed to place second. “My goal is to make it to state in discus this year, and do well,” said Brad. Ben has been making noise in the shot put, and he has already broken his personal record in shot and discus. His best throw in shot put is 47’1”, and 130’0” in the discus. Ben has placed third or higher in shot put at four invitationals, and has won the shot at two tri-meets. “My goal is to make state for shot put this year,” said Ben Montgomery. It is no secret that they are looking to do damage this year, and are doing so already. The hard work the brothers put into the offseason is paying off, as they are continually getting better as the spring goes on. Make your way out to a track meet before the season ends, and support the mighty Montgomery brothers and the talented Cavaliers.
Witnessing through white crosses BY: JULIA HARRELSON Did you know there are 3,600 abortions performed each day in the United States? If you pass by Lehman Catholic High School in the month of May, you would learn this. Each year, the Lehman Pro-Lifeguards set up white crosses in the front lawn to show people a visual reminder of this fact and be witnesses to this terrible tragedy. The Lehman Pro-Lifeguards club was started by the Staudt family in 2004. In 2009, John Staudt, a junior at Lehman, came up with the idea of the white crosses and put the plan into action. Many Lehman students came out to help build the crosses and set them up on the school lawn. Since then, the crosses have become a staple of the organization and their appearance each year serves as a grim reminder than legal abortions continue to happen in our society every day, year after year. Junior club board member Patrick Blenman said, “We do the white crosses to give witness to society about all the unborn children aborted each day. These are children who are being killed before they are given the chance to live.” The crosses were set up last Saturday. They will be displayed throughout the month of May. It is hoped that those from the community who drive by the school will see this display and think twice about the terrible tragedy that is abortion. If those thoughts save even one unborn life, it is worth the effort.

HAPPENINGS AT THE HIVE
I have had the distinct pleasure of being the Senior English teacher at Sidney High School for the last six years. This means I spend the year helping students transition into the next phase of their lives. Some will go to college, some will enter the work force, some will attempt to do both simultaneously. I work with students who are primarily in the college bound and Advanced Placement track. Some are more motivated than others, but all of them are teeming with potential. It is really something to see them walk into my room in August so full of expectation about what it means to be a senior. They have waited three years in anticipation for their senior year, consciously taking notes about things they wanted to accomplish before their high school days end. I encourage them to approach their senior year thoughtfully. I suggest that they try to Senior John Trygstad, a student in Mrs.Olding’s class, works on capture a piece of who they are at this moment because one of the many things getting older his letter to himself. has taught me is that time does not slow down for anyone.

HOROSCOPE BY FRANCES DRAKE For Saturday, May 11, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) This is a mildly accident-prone day, so be careful. Pay attention to everything you say and do. However, you might dream up genius-like ideas. Who knows? TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Keep an eye on your money today. If shopping, count your change and keep your receipts. You might find money; you might lose money. Guard your possessions against loss or theft. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You might be a bit rash and impulsive today. It would behoove you to count to three before you say or do anything. Don’t fly off the handle. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Unexpected solutions to old problems might appear today. You also might find something that you lost, because that which is hidden can be revealed. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) A friend might amaze you by doing something outrageous today. Or alternatively, you might meet someone who is a real character. Expect a few surprises in group situations. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Don’t be lippy or rebellious with authority figures today because you might regret it. Nevertheless, a boss, parent, teacher or member of the police might throw you a curveball. (Don’t quit your day job.) LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Travel plans might be interrupted, changed or canceled today. Ditto for anything having to do with higher education. Nevertheless, this is a fascinating day full of interesting detours. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Surprise gifts, goodies and favors from others might come your way today. Keep your pockets open. You have earned whatever comes your way. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Partners and close friends might do something unusual or demand more space and freedom in the relationship. Expect the unexpected. Even casual encounters with the public might introduce you to someone unusual. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Power outages, staff shortages and computer crashes might cause delays at work today. Introduction of new technology also is likely. Others might learn surprising news that can benefit their health. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) This is a mildly accident-prone day for your kids, so be extra vigilant. Romance will hold few surprises. Be on guard! The outcome of sports events could be surprising. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Unexpected company might drop by at home today. Small appliances could break down, or minor breakages could occur. It’s a crapshoot, but at least, it’s not a boring day. YOU BORN TODAY You are flirtatious, fun-loving and eager to enjoy life and its creature comforts. Many of you are imaginative and creative, which lends to working in the arts. You have a great sense of humor and enjoy good friendships and convivial times with others. In the year ahead, you will work hard to build or construct something important.

Botkins deals Loramie 1st league loss BOTKINS —— Good thing the Fort Loramie Redskins had a mulligan. The Redskins went into Thursday night’s County game at Botkins with a two-game lead in the loss column over runner-up Russia, but that lead is down to one after the Trojans won 10 in a pitcher’s duel. Fort Loramie is now 9-1 in the County and 10-14 overall. Botkins goes to 11-8 on the year. Josh Schwartz went the distance for Botkins and allowed just three hits, with seven strikeouts. He beat Devon Braun of Loramie, who also went the distance on a four-hitter.
“Josh gave an excllent said performance,” Botkins coach Phillip Groves. “This was a great league win for our program and a definite confidence-boost heading into the sectionals.” The only run scored in the second on an RBI single by Mitchell Goubeaux. The linescore: Loramie .......000 000 0_0 3 0 Botkins ........010 000 x_1 4 1 Braun (LP) and Kitzmiller; Schwartz and Greve. Records: Botkins 11-8, Loramie 10-14.

Cavs get past Knoxville Lehman trailed 7-0 after New Knoxville batted in the top of the third, but the Cavs got all seven back in the bot-
tom of the third and went on to win 12-8 in non-league baseball Tuesday at Lehman. The win puts the Cavaliers at 17-6 on the season and drops the Rangers to 7-10. Lehman started AJ Hemmelgarn and he ran into big trouble, giving up five in the second. But after the Cavs had their big third inning, Knoxville scored in the fourth to take an 8-7 lead, and coach Dave King went back to Hemmelgarn. He blanked the Rangers the rest of the way to get the win. Greg Spearman had a single, a double and three RBIs to lead Lehman, Cole Proffitt had two doubles, and
John Copella two singles. For the Rangers, Jake Allen had three hits, one being a home run, and Wolf had three hits with a double. Tyler Shreve and Meyer had two hits each, and Shane Topp and KV Mooney both doubled. The Rangers outhit the Cavs 14-9.

Minster baseball team ‘playing hardball against ALS’ tonight MINSTER — Minster High School’s two-time defending Division IV state champion baseball team is holding a “Playing Hardball Against ALS” night tonight at the Hanover Street Park. The Wildcats, ranked No. 1 in the state in Division IV and sporting a 19-1 record, will play St. Henry in a key Midwest Athletic Conference game at 5 p.m., then take on Dayton
Meadowdale at 7:30. It will be “discount dog/youth night” at the field. Admission is free but donations will be accepted. Hot dogs will be just 25 cents and smokies 50 cents. For the young Minster baseball fans, you can meet your favorite player on the field before both games, and some will have the opportunity to announce a Minster leadoff hitter
from the press box at the bottom of each inning. Minster Bank and Wagner’s IGA are the sponsors and all proceeds benefit the PHAALS Foundation (Playing Hardball against ALS). ALS is better known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease and it gradually robs the body of its ability to walk, speak, swallow and breathe. The disease damages nerve cells in the brain and
spinal cord that control voluntary muscle movements and the body gradually becomes paralyzed. One in 50,000 Americans is diagnosed with ALS, and 50 percent of patients die within three years of the initial diagnosis. Minster is currently 7-0 and on top in the conference race, one game ahead of Coldwater and two ahead of St. Henry in the league standings.

BOTKINS RUSSIA — In the third County baseball game of the night, the Russia Raiders moved to within a game of the lead with a 12-0 run-rule verdict over Fairlawn Thursday. The Raiders finish league play 10-2 and are now 18-5 overall. The Raiders scored 10 times in the first two innings and that was plenty for Russia starter Treg Francis, who worked the first three innings. Isaiah Counts led Russia’s nine-hit attack with three hits, including two home runs and a double. He also drove in six runs. Francis and Gavin Hoying combined for eight strikeouts and allowed just four hits. AP Photo/Lynne Sladky
playoff series in the Eastern Conference semifinals against the Miami Heat Wednesday in Miami. The Heat won 115-78.
Bulls, Heat getting ready for tonight’s key Game 3 DEERFIELD, Ill. (AP) — It started with the flu, and turned into a hospital stay. There were terrible headaches and weakness. Just walking was a chore. All at the worst time for Luol Deng and the Chicago Bulls. The All-Star forward made an appearance at Chicago’s practice facility on Thursday, but it was clear from his drawn appearance and measured tone that he might not be able to make it back in time to play in the Bulls’ rugged postseason series against the Miami Heat. Looking for reinforcements for its depleted roster, Chicago is going to have to wait a while for Deng. “I don’t know. I want to play, but I don’t know what I can do,” he said. “I just, I haven’t done anything.” Deng joined his teammates for the film session covering Wednesday night’s 115-
78 drubbing by the Heat that evened the series heading into Game 3 in Chicago on Friday night. He also got on the court and took a few jumpers, but that was all he could handle. “Still day to day. He’s feeling a little bit better,” coach Tom Thibodeau said. “We’ll see tomorrow.” While Chicago was taking stock of its injuries — Kirk Hinrich had a second MRI on his injured left calf, and Derrick Rose was the “same,” according to Thibodeau — Miami was bracing for the first game of the series at the United Center. It’s the Heat’s first trip to Chicago since a 101-97 loss on March 27 snapped their 27-game winning streak. “We know that they call it the ‘Madhouse on Madison’ for a reason,” said Miami guard Wade, a Dwyane Chicago-area native. “The fans are very loud.
At the end of the day, once that settles down, it’s the game of basketball and you have to execute your game plan. It’s going to be the little things that wins games for your team.” The Heat did everything right in Game 2, running away from the Bulls after a surprising 93-86 loss in the series opener on Monday night. A 62-20 run was more than enough to wipe away the residue from Miami’s first playoff loss, and MVP LeBron James had only three points in the tidal wave ‚Äî a scary statistic for Chicago, and there’s more. The Game 2 blowout was the 41st time that an NBA team won a playoff game by 35 or more points. In the previous 40 occasions, the team on top of the blowout went on to win the series 36 times. It’s a good omen for Miami, but James knows firsthand how it can turn around in a hurry.
He was playing for Cleveland when the Cavaliers lost 108-72 to Washington in a 2008 playoff game and went on to win the series. “It’s just one game,” he said. “Even though you got dominated the game before and you didn’t do things right, it’s still one game. You don’t get two wins if you win by over 30 or over 40. You only get one game. They’re back in their home building, where they’re very good and we have to be ready for it.” It looks as if the Bulls will be without Deng, Hinrich and Rose once again. Thibodeau said the team was awaiting the results of the latest MRI for Hinrich, who hasn’t played since Game 4 of Chicago’s first-round playoff series against Brooklyn on April 27. Rose hasn’t played all year, but no one has ruled out what would be an emotional return for the 2011 NBA MVP.

• These are not your father’s St. Louis Cardinals. The running Redbirds of the 1980s made the stolen base fashionable as Whiteyball turned the Cardinals into one of the best clubs throughout the decade. With just 12 stolen base attempts this season, St. Louis ranks last in the majors. At least the 83 percent success rate is tied for sixth. • The Brewers have hit back-to-back homers three times this season. All three pairs have come at the expense of Pittsburgh pitching. • At age 20, Bryce Harper led the National League with a 1.150 OPS in April, becoming the youngest player to lead the NL in OPS after April since 1965 when Ed Kranepool of the Mets batted .418 with a 1.161 OPS. In case you’re wondering, the first baseman ended the season at .253/.675. • According to the Cincinnati Reds, Jay Bruce is the first player in MLB history to hit at least 20 home runs as a rookie and increase his total each of the next four years. He must hit 35 taters this season to continue the trend. He’s left the yard just once so far. • Of the six catcher interference calls in the majors this season, D-backs hitters have been the beneficiaries three times. Can you coach that?
Ryan Raburn, Cleveland The former Detroit utilityman has found a home in right field in Cleveland. Last week, Raburn hit .591 with two four-hit games, a three-hit game and a two-hit game. He homered twice in back-to-back games for his only four long balls of the season. During the week, he raised his season batting average from .214 to .344.
Justin Verlander, Detroit The Tigers’ ace has allowed two runs or fewer in each of his last five starts. Last week, in two outings, he pitched 14 innings and gave up just seven hits and four walks with 17 strikeouts. He won both games with an ERA of 0.64 and a 0.79 WHIP.
Carlos Gomez, Milwaukee It appears that the fleet center fielder known for his defensive prowess has turned the corner offensively. Last week he hit .462 with three home runs. His eight runs, six extra-base hits and five steals all tied for the best in the majors.
Sergio Romo, San Francisco San Francisco’s closer made five appearances last week and notched four saves and a win. He retired 15 of the 18 batters he faced, allowing just three singles. His durability and reliability permit Bruce Bochy to manage games cautiously to the Giants’ advantage.
Francisco Lindor, SS, Cleveland The 19-year-old shortstop is still learning, but enjoying success along the way. Currently playing at High-A Carolina, the switch-hitting Lindor is batting .366 with seven steals, 16 runs and 12 extra-base hits in his first 29 games. That’s not bad for a player considered the best defensive shortstop at any level in the minor leagues. Lindor features an outstanding arm, above-average range and terrific instincts for the position. He’s on track to be a regular in Cleveland by 2015.
MAY 12, 1966 Busch Stadium opens in St. Louis in the shadows of the famous Gateway Arch as the Cardinals defeat the Braves, 4-3, in 12 innings. Six Hall of Famers take the field, including a pinch-hitting appearance by Bob Gibson. Lou Brock singles home Curt Flood with the winning run off losing pitcher Phil Niekro. MAY 10, 1967 Atlanta’s Hank Aaron circles the bases with the only inside-the-park home run of his career. It comes in the eighth inning of the first game of a twinbill off Hall of Famer Jim Bunning. Aaron chases home Mike de la Hoz to tie the game at 3-3. Phil Niekro pitches the final two frames and takes the loss when the Phillies’ Johnny Briggs scores on a passed ball.
Justin Verlander
Rangers Yu Darvish has strikeout pitch working this season. Red Sox Bats went silent in sweep at the hands of the Rangers. Giants Buster Posey, Guillermo Quiroz hit walk-off HRs in sweep over L.A. Cardinals A 13-6 road record boosts Redbirds to best overall mark in NL. Tigers Miguel Cabrera three home runs shy of Triple Crown position. Braves 10-game roadie on tap against three +.500 teams. Yankees Just one of last eight wins by more than two runs. #CloseGames A’s Busy bullpen logged more innings than starters last week. Nationals Must get Adam LaRoche’s bat going. Royals Five postponements already this season. Rockies Haven’t won two in a row since April 20. Reds Hit just two homers, but won four of six last week. Pirates 16-9 since horrendous 1-5 start. Orioles First team to play 20 road games already this season. DiamondbacksOnly team in NL West with winning road record. Rays No Rays hitter has been intentionally walked this season. Phillies Offense bottomed out at .182 over last seven days. Mariners Batting just .223 on the road. Twins Lead-off hitters have majors-worst .248 OBP. Brewers Cleanup hitters batting .188 with no home runs. Padres Jedd Gyorko making Rookie of the Year push. Indians Batted .338 last week, which led majors. Dodgers 64 extra-base hits rank lowest in majors. Mets Of 37 runners in scoring position, Ike Davis has driven in eight. White Sox Only Miami has scored fewer runs this season. Angels Too talented — and too expensive — to be this far down. Cubs Anthony Rizzo beginning to heat up — .357 last week. Blue Jays Quickly settling in at the bottom of this list. Marlins Swapping places with Houston may happen a lot in 2013. Astros With eight wins, only team stuck in single digits.
Whiff Kings In 2010, Mark Reynolds of the Diamondbacks made news by striking out 211 times and batting just .198. The higher strikeout total than batting average is such a rarity that it’s been done only three times by non-pitchers with more than 100 plate appearances. Adam Dunn of the White Sox one-upped Reynolds by whiffing 177 times and batting just .159 in 2011, then repeating the feat last season (222, .204). As many as a dozen players could pull it off this season. While that is certainly unexpected, here are 12 players threatening to achieve the dubious distinction. *Projected strikeouts this season #Current batting average

2016 American League All-Stars With the 2013 All-Star Game still more than a month away, it’s difficult to project just who the players will be in New York at Citi Field. But that doesn’t stop me from looking into the future. By 2016, the Oakland A’s and Tampa Bay Rays will have new stadiums on the horizon. Baltimore’s Camden Yards is the most likely host for the game and predicting who the best players in each league will be. So here goes. The 2016 All-Star teams. This week the American League, next week the NL. STARTERS CF Mike Trout, Los Angeles The game’s brightest superstar is the leading vote-getter. SS Elvis Andrus, Texas The newest wave of young shortstops hasn’t overtaken Andrus just yet. RF Adam Jones, Baltimore With Baltimore the likely host of the 2016 game, Jones will receive the loudest ovation. DH Miguel Cabrera, Detroit The old vet is still punishing pitchers. 3B Evan Longoria, Tampa Bay Longoria wins the closest vote in years, edging Robinson Cano, who has just made the switch to third base. 1B Prince Fielder, Detroit Prince edges King Albert, who is showing serious signs of decline.

The 36-year-old righthander had just five saves at the major league level and three in the minors — in his career — prior to closing games for Pittsburgh this season. Home runs for the Boston Red Sox in six games at Toronto this season. Boston bats have been much quieter in their other 25 games totalling just 17 clouts. Come-from-behind wins for Kansas City this season. In those, 10 different players drove home the winning run. Pinch-hit home runs in 59 appearances for Jordany Valdespin of the New York Mets. The extra outfielder has four homers in 212 non-pinch-hitting plate appearances. Consecutive seasons that the St. Louis Cardinals have ended April in first place. Their conversion rate over the past five years is just 20 percent. Saves in as many chances for the Cardinals’ Edward Mujica since being installed as closer on April 18. Going into this season, the right-handed reliever had just four saves in 316 appearances.

P Justin Verlander, Detroit Hitters still ask for a day off when he pitches.
TRIVIA ANSWER: Way back in 1917, a 22-year-old Boston lefty named Babe Ruth tossed five complete games in April. In 1988, Greg Swindell of Cleveland pitched two complete games plus 10 shutout innings at Baltimore among his five wins.
• The evidence of movement into more of a pitching era is mounting. Consider that four teams are holding opponents to a sub-.300 onbase percentage this season. In the 2000s, that has been accomplished only twice, by Philadelphia in 2011 (.296) and Tampa Bay last season (.294). Atlanta (.294), Texas (.294), Cincinnati (.295) and Detroit (.299) are all currently below the mark.

Show me a sign: BY TOM MILLHOUSE tmilhouse@civitasmedia.com A Sidney businessman’s love of hot rods and his daughter’s photography skills are opening two possible sources of revenues as the company seeks to boost sales. Larry and Anita Bell purchased Digital Sign Graphics, 230 E. Russell Road in 2010. The company specializes in digital printing, including billboards, banners, fleet graphics, posters, pointof-sale displays and event marketing. Much of Digital Sign’s work is on a grand scale, with the company’s artwork on display on billboards up and down Interstate 75 and other highways around the country. The largest project was artwork for a 40-foot by 100 foot billboard. “We actually send a majority of our products out of Ohio,” Bell said. “We’re nationwide, only 10 percent of our business is local.” In addition to the artwork for billboards (they don’t post the artwork on the billboards), Digital Sign prints banners, signs and other artwork for a wide variety of customers, ranging from restaurants and fireworks

The warm weather months are the busiest for the local business. “Nobody wants to put up billboards in the winter,” he said, noting his business also does work for fairs and other events during spring and summer. Bell said while the company strives to maintain its current customers, he wants to find new customers “to fill in the gaps” to make work flow more even year around.
One possible source of additional revenue being considered is the sale of poster-size photos of vintage cars. Bell has a huge poster behind his desk created for his birthday from a photo of his cherished 1964 Chevrolet Chevelle. Bell, 56, purchased the car 26 years ago and it has been restored to mint condition and now sports a 550 horsepower engine. “It had 11 coats of paint, the last one was house latex,” he said, “I know how many coats of

Emily Grillot come and go, but I always remember sitting down as a family for the evening meal. Many meals came straight from our family farm. My dad always had a big garden, and Mom would can everything from green beans to tomato juice. She froze corn, peas, fruit and meat. My parents would butcher chickens, beef and hogs. Mom made everything from scratch. I don’t remember her ever making anything from a box at home. She always said, “I’ve been cooking since I was old enough to stand on a chair.” Mom cooked for weddings and other events at Russia Community Center (now St. Remy Hall) for 19 years before retiring in 1993. Many
Saturdays, my sisters and I would spend the day “helping” mom cook at the hall. In my opinion, she was and always will be the finest cook of all. Mom also did the washing and ironing, and she sewed clothes for everyone, especially the older children. I remember hearing that my oldest sister was 16 before she had a “store bought” dress. I think I was at least 12 or 13 years old before I had mine. Mom always made sure we looked our Sunday best for weddings and church. I remember the excitement of picking out material for dresses for my older siblings’ weddings. Looking back, she must have spent hours and hours after we went to bed working on her sewing. Mom loved to sew baby blankets as well. I couldn’t begin to guess how many baby blankets she sewed in her lifetime, because every new grandchild and great-grandchild received three or more baby blankets from Grandma (and Grandpa) Grillot! One of my mom’s favorite hobbies was flower gardening. My favorite picture of her is one of her standing with her flowers! She definitely was particular about her flower beds and was always moving a flower from
here to there or having my dad make just one more bed. For the last 20 years of her life, Mom was a genealogist. For the most part, she worked on the Grillot family but also spent hours and hours on other family trees, such as Layman, Monnin and Pepiot. I had the privilege of spending many hours with her on her genealogy and hope to one day complete her final project! Throughout the years, my mom’s best advice was: “When God closes a door, he opens a window.” Mom believed that “every child is a gift from God.” One of her most important rules was “no dating until age 16.” She had a wonderful way of making me figure out the answer to my question before I would even get finished asking it. Often over the last several months, I have dialed the phone to ask Mom just one more question only to quickly remember of her passing. Although these are the most difficult times and I miss her dearly, I realize that how lucky I have been to have had such a wonderful, devoted, loving mom. On this Mother’s Day, I say a forever, “Happy Mother’s Day!” The writer lives in Russia.

Whittier student speaks about cystic fibrosis For the average thirdgrade student, daily adversities include multiplication and division, the choice between eating school lunch and packing their own lunch, making it across the monkey bars or being picked last for kickball. Luke Bemus is not your average third-grader and what he faces each day is not your typical third-grade hardship. Luke was born with cystic fibrosis. Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an inherited chronic disease that affects the lungs and digestive system of about 30,000 children and adults in the U.S. and 70,000 worldwide. A defective gene and its protein product cause the body to produce thick, sticky mucus that clogs the lungs and leads to life-threatening lung infections; and obstructs the pancreas and stops natural enzymes from helping the body break down and absorb food. “It all started because I wasn’t feeling well,” explained Luke as he shared with his classmates just what it is like to be diagnosed with and live having CF. Though Luke was born with CF, he wasn’t diagnosed until he was in first-grade. Prior to diagnosis, doctors went back and forth treating Luke for allergies and asthma. Luke and his parents shared a photo of Luke before his diagnosis that showed him to be extremely small for his age, as CF not only creates the mucus, but it prevents nutrients from being absorbed. “Even after Luke was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis and was being treated, he still wasn’t gaining weight of growing quite like doctor’s thought he would,” said

LUKE BEMUS talks about having cystic fibrosis to his classmates at Whittier Elementary School. Looking on are his parents, David and Tammy Bemus. Luke’s mom, Tammy Bemus. “They eventually diagnosed Luke with Celiac disease.” Celiac disease is a digestive condition triggered by consumption of the protein gluten, which is primarily found in bread, pasta, cookies, pizza crust and many other foods containing wheat, barley or rye. Within two years of being diagnosed with both, Luke gained 27 pounds and grew 12 inches. Luke spoke to his classmates about his daily routine of 30 plus pills, “most of them the size of my thumb.” He told them how it takes 30 minutes to eat breakfast alone because he takes so many pills during that time. Before heading off to school, Luke has to sit and do his treatment with a high frequency chest wall oscillation vest. As the name implies, the vest basically vibrates Luke and his chest to thin out the mucus and force it out of the chest. Luke does this
at least twice a day. To add a bit of humor to this treatment, Luke has mastered a number of interesting noises and sounds as a result of the vibrations. A huge Star Wars fan, he demonstrated one of his favorite sounds, a light saber. Every six to eight months, Luke requires an extended two-week stay at Children’s Hospital in Dayton, or as they refer to the stay, a “tune up.” Luke’s parents, David and Tammy, helped Luke talk about CF to his classmates. David read “Mallory’s 65 Roses” by Diane Shader to introduce the students to cystic fibrosis. "65 Roses" a phrase some children with CF call their disease because the words are much easier for them to pronounce. When asked how he wants to be treated as a result of his CF, Luke said, “Because of things, I have an enlarged spleen, so I can’t really play contact sports and
you have to be careful at recess and gym when we’re running. Otherwise, I just want to be treated like normal.” “Luke is an amazing kid with great spirit,” said Whittier Principal Keith Helmlinger. “He really controls his disease and doesn’t let it stop or slow him down.” Whittier is supporting Luke by having a “Hats Off to Luke” to benefit the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. Students can wear hats to school today by making a contribution of any amount. The Bemus family invites anyone to participate in the Great Strides Walk for Cystic Fibrosis Saturday at Duke Park in Troy. Check in for the walk starts at 9 a.m., with the walk beginning at 10a.m. Anyone interested in participating in or donation to the Great Strides Walk can search for Luke Bemus at www.cff.org/Great_Strid es/ and register for Luke’s team, appropriately named “The Force.”

We went to several and he seems very orthopedic pediatric sur- knowledgeable. I know of geons, who dismissed several children who go her problem, so we to chiropractors. Are we started her with a chiro- really doing our daughpractor, who gives her re- ter harm? — J.B. lief. She started out ANSWER: Chiroprac-
tic manipulation is mostly safe, and has been found to be an effective treatment for adults with back pain. The data on effectiveness in children is less clear. By “mostly safe” I mean that there is one form of chiropractic manipulation — rapid velocity neck manipulation — that, rarely, can cause severe side effects, including stroke and death. To be fair, treatments ordered by orthopedic surgeons, such as anti-inflammatory agents, also rarely cause serious side effects. Still, I strongly recommend against rapid velocity neck manipulation in both adults and children.
I don’t know what the chiropractor is doing for your daughter, but I understand that many chiropractors use light thumb pressure alone for their therapies, especially in children. I think an important point here is that your daughter is getting benefit from the chiropractor, and on an as-needed basis. It’s also important that you had her evaluated by orthopedic surgeons who presumably demonstrated the absence of orthopedic problems. As long as the chiropractor is avoiding the dangerous form of manipulation, I think the possibility of harm is remote.

I’m glad you asked this question. Your grandson may or may not grow up to be gay or transgender, which is what I think your letter is really about. Regardless of what his orientation is, it’s very important that he knows he is valued for who he is. DEAR ABBY: I know this boy that I really love. He’s nice, smart and funny and I think about him all the time. He says he loves me back. Is this true love, or just a mutual crush? I know I’m only 13, but I think I’m in love. Is it ridiculous to think I have found true love in seventh grade? How can I tell whether it’s love or not? And what would you consider the usual age to find your perfect other half? — CONFUSED IN LOVE
DEAR CONFUSED: No one can predict how old you will be when you meet someone who is your perfect other half. People’s interests and needs evolve as they grow older, and what seems perfect today can seem less so when viewed through the lens of life experience. I would never label your feelings as “ridiculous,” but when you are in love, there is usually no doubt about it. Because you need to ask someone else if what you’re feeling is true love, then it probably isn’t.
