It’s a soccer invasion BY PATRICIA ANN SPEELMAN pspeelman@sdnccg.com The 17th annual Bensar Mayfest Soccer Classic tournament will return to Sidney Saturday and run through Sunday. The yearly event has a big economic impact on the city in addition to raising the excitement level of residents and visitors, alike.
According to Missy Dean, one of three co-directors of the tournament, 128 teams have registered to participate. That’s down from last year’s 140 teams. She said that when the contest falls on Mother’s Day weekend, there is usually a lower turnout. All 2012 teams are from Ohio. Almost 2,000 players and their family members will fill area hotels and boost restaurant sales during the two days.
“We’re sold out for Saturday night,” said Stacy Nelson, general manager of Sidney’s Hampton Inn. The motel raises rates and amends its cancellation policy in response to the demand. “We have a good time with teams from out of town,” she said. “We look forward to it.” Danny Campbell, general manager of See SOCCER/Page 2

Barnes named Sidney’s Teacher of the Year
During the annual Sidney Education Association Recognition Dinner held Tuesday, Cathy Barnes, first-grade teacher at Whittier Elementary was shocked when she received the top honor, Teacher of the Year. Barnes has taught at Sidney City Schools for 24 years. She currently teaches first grade at Whittier but has also taught at Longfellow and Lowell elementary schools. She graduated from Wilmington High School and received her master’s degree from the University of Dayton. Mandy Albers nominated Barnes and in her letter of nomination she wrote, “Cathy takes more pride in her position as a classroom teacher than anyone I have ever encountered. She is constantly making adjustments, reflecting on what she could have changed, how she will re-teach, how she will do it differently, or making notes about how

successful that specific lesson was. She takes great pride in her school.” Barnes had no idea she was nominated for the award and winning it didn’t even cross her mind. “I think everybody in my building knew except me,” said Barnes. “I was there to support one of the other teachers who was supposed to receive an award. I was shocked. I am very humbled.” To say she is humble is an understatement. For Barnes, she is simply doing what she knows how to do best, be a teacher. She doesn’t consider it something that she even works hard at and the recognition from her fellow teachers is something she is still

amazed over. “To think that somebody thought that much of me or that I made that much of a difference to someone else never crossed my mind,” said Barnes. “I do what I do because that’s who we are. I think I speak for any teacher. We work with kids and go that extra mile because that’s who we are.” See TEACHER/Page 4
2 issues to be on the Aug. 7 ballot
The filing deadline for issues to appear on the Aug. 7 special election ballot was Wednesday. County wide voters will be asked to consider a tax levy that would support area historical museums and voters in Jackson Center will consider a limited tax for school district purposes. The Jackson Center levy is a 0.5 percent, five-year, limited tax for school district purposes on the earned income of individuals residing in the school district. The Jackson Center Board of Education initiated this process during the April 16 regular meeting at which time they approved the five-year forecast. The board agreed to only ask for See BALLOT/Page 4

‘Windfall’ to be shown Saturday in Botkins BOTKINS — The Shelby Neighbors United will meet on Saturday at 10:30 a.m. at the Botkins Junior High gym to show the movie “Windfall.” “Windfall,” a film directed by Laura Israel, documents how the development of a wind farm outside of Meredith, N.Y. divides the residents of the city and the surrounding area. The mission of SNU is to inform the citizens of Shelby County of the proposed Industrial wind turbine projects in the Anna, Botkins and Jackson Center areas and to provide education on the effects and realities of similar wind farms. The name of the wind turbine project is “Montra Hills Wind Project.” The proposed project would cover 10,000 acres
SOCCER the Spot restaurant, said he increases his staff to handle the larger number of customers the tournament generates. “(Business) almost doubles,” he said. “We make sure we have enough (food). We have to pick up our game a little.” The total estimated economic impact for the weekend is $745,880, according to Jeff Raible, president of the SidneyShelby County Chamber of Commerce.The number is based on an average of 13 players per team and two additional family members per player plus 75 referees and other officials. “According to 2011 statistics released by the Ohio Division of Travel and Tourism, the average overnight traveler spends $285 per person per night in Ohio. The average daytripper spends $100 per day in Ohio,” he said. In compiling the $745,880 figure, he assumed 67 percent of Mayfest Soccer Classic participants would be from out of town. The Classic is “a phenomenal group to work
with outer limits to the north, Southland Road, to the east, the Logan County line, to the south, Fort Loramie-Swanders Road and to the west, Sidney-Freyburg Road. It is proposed that there would be 100 to 150 wind turbines at a height of 490-feet. Jackson Center Schools has also said they would allow further fact finding public meetings if requested as long as both sides of the issue are equally represented and a moderator from a neutral entity is present to run the meeting. According to the district newsletter, the district feels it is their responsibility “to understand the potential financial impact of that project for future fiscal planning purposes.”

Sheriff: Animal inventory vital COLUMBUS (AP) — An Ohio sheriff emphasized to state lawmakers on Thursday the importance of having an inventory of any exotic animals kept by private owners and extra fencing outside the cages in case the animals get loose. The Ohio House agriculture committee is considering a bill that would regulate exotic animal ownership. The Senate passed the measure last month. Ohio’s restrictions on exotic pets are among the nation’s weakest. Efforts to strengthen the law took on new urgency after Terry Thompson released 50 animals — including black bears, mountain lions and Bengal tigers — from his eastern Ohio farm in Zanesville in October before he committed suicide. Authorities killed 48 of the animals as a public safety measure. Two others they believe were eaten by other animals. Muskingum County Sheriff Matt Lutz told the panel it could have taken months to find all the animals had a neighbor not alerted police that evening. “These big cats were fed enough each day to be not made starving,” Lutz said.

IN THIS photo taken March 27, Zach Bodish poses with a signed Picasso print that he purchased for $14 in the Clintonville Volunteers of America store in Columbus. Some Internet searches later, and a closer look at markings on the lower right area, and he sold what’s believed to be a signed Picasso print for $7,000 to a private buyer who wants to remain anonymous.
One man’s trash is worth $7,000 to another man COLUMBUS (AP) — An unemployed Ohio man was browsing at his local thrift store for items he could restore and resell when he spotted a Picasso poster with the word “Exposition” written across the front, some French words, and the image of a warped round face. He handed over $14.14 for what he saw as a nice commercial print. Some Internet searches later — and a closer look at markings on the lower right area — and he sold what’s believed to be a signed Picasso print for $7,000 to a private buyer who wants to remain anonymous. “A pretty darn good return,” said Zachary Bodish of Columbus with a chuckle. “Can’t get that at the bank.” The 46-year-old Bodish, who was an event and volunteer coordinator at a museum for six years, originally turned to the Internet and a personal blog to write about his neat find from early
March. Bodish had been supplementing his income with buying and reselling restored furniture, and he suddenly realized he may have hit jackpot. “I could tell it was not a modern print,” he said. “So I thought, ‘Well, it’s probably not really a fine Picasso print. What’s the chance of finding that in a thrift store in Columbus, Ohio?” His online search led him to the print’s history as an exhibition advertisement. And he began to look closely at some very faded red writing on the lower right area, which he originally thought were random pencil marks from the thrift store. “It wasn’t until I realized where the signature would be, and that those little red marks were right where the signature should be, that I got a stronger magnifying glass out and determined that, ‘Holy cow! It’s really a Picasso.’” Bodish said he con-

sulted with art experts and met with a representative from Christie’s auction house to authenticate the piece. A Christie’s representative confirmed that Bodish met with a specialist, but the auction house said its policy is not to comment on items that aren’t sold through them. In this case, Bodish decided to sell the print privately in April. Lisa Florman, an associate history professor at Ohio State University, has written several essays and a book on Picasso. She said the print is a linocut, meaning it’s a design carved out and pressed with ink onto paper. She examined the print only through photos, but she said it’s very unlikely the piece is forged because the piece would sell for so low in the grand scheme of major art fraud. She said she’s examined many forged Picasso signatures in the past, but felt confident about Bodish’s print.
Suspect gets lawyer in Ohio court CLEVELAND (AP) — former fugitive A charged with identity theft and running a $100 million scam collecting donations for Navy veterans tried representing himself in court Thursday before changing his mind and accepting an attorney. The defendant goes by Bobby Thompson, but authorities don’t think that’s his real name and
have been unable to identify him. He told Judge Annette Butler in Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court that he isn’t an attorney but wouldn’t say if he has a law school background because that relates to the issue of identity theft. Authorities believe he defrauded donors of up to $100 million in 41 states, including $2 million in

According to the police report, Wilber claims he entered the intersection of a yellow like and turned when he saw the light had turned red. Powers stated she did not run a red light. A witness stated that Powers may have run the red light. No one was cited in the accident. There was minimal damage to both vehicles but one passenger, James Powers Jr., 46, was transported to Wilson Memorial Hospital by Sidney paramedics with minor injuries.

Thompson asked to represent himself and appoint Mark Stanton, a prominent Cleveland defense attorney who appeared in court with him, to assist. The judge said Thompson must decide whether to represent himself or allow Stanton to do so. Thompson, who said he was familiar with courtroom procedure, withdrew his self-representation request and said it would be a possible issue on appeal. After whispered advice from Stanton, Thompson renewed his request and then withdrew it again.

Chief denies ballot claims COLUMBUS (AP) — Ohio’s elections chief is defending his decision to require county election boards to follow a federal court decree instead of state law when it comes to counting provisional ballots. At issue are requirements for providing identification when a voter has to cast a provisional ballot, typically a ballot cast in the wrong precinct. Ohio House and Senate Republicans have sued Secretary of State Jon Husted in the Ohio Supreme Court, saying his action is unconstitutional because the elections board requirement violates the separation of powers doctrine. Husted, a Republican, argues he is required to follow the federal court’s order and says the Supreme Court doesn’t have proper jurisdiction.

Bay has worked in the Sidney City School district for 17 years. She was nominated by Annette Johnson. “Last year we learned that due to the cutbacks the district made, there would be no art for students grades 1 to 3,” said Johnson. “Karyn worked with administration to create a schedule that would allow all elementary students, grade 1 to 5 to have forty minutes of art every other week. I nominated her because of her determination and dedication to this effort.” Tracy Scully, Sidney Middle School Language Arts teacher, received a Doers Award. She has worked in the Sidney City School district for 14 years. She was nominated by Ashleigh Ratermann. “Tracy consistently push for unending effort in and out of the classroom,” said Ratermann. “Not only has she put in the extra time, she also personally invests in materials to help her students succeed, withhesitation. She out pushes herself and her students to their very best every day.” Carla Kohler has been a guidance counselor at Northwood Elementary School for 21 years. She was nominated for a Doers Award by Lori Billing, a teacher at Northwood. “This year she has stocked the staff room with snacks and beverages for staff purchase,” said Billing. “She uses the money collected and purchased coats, underwear, shoes, etc. for our students that needed them.” According to Billing, Kohler’s commitment to the students has generated $500. Billing also nominated Eileen Hix for the Friends of Education Award. The Friends of Education award is given to any person, group, or organization that has made a consid-

She visits Northwood Elementary on Tuesday mornings and holds breakfast club. “Eileen makes each and every child know that they are special, unique, and most of all loved,” said Billing. Ken Barhorst was nominated by Angie Mentges for a Friends of Education Award. Barhorst was nominated for his work covering sporting events. “He is thorough and provides full coverage in his articles,” said Mentges. “He often uses photos to highlight individual achievements. Sports are a show of personal motivation for students and his reporting enhances that motivation and recognition for our students who go above and beyond and strive to improve their athletic skills.” Ron Elmore was also presented a Friends of Education Award. He was nominated by Teresa Cegledy for his establishment School’s Locker Stocker. “Ron has been a tremendous asset to the schools, communities, students, parents and staff members of Shelby County,” said Cegledy. “His determination to assist educators in finding the support materials and items that they need to help educate our youth is never ending. Countless numbers of parents have been in to see Ron to ask for guidance in selecting or locating books to utilize with their children over the summer months to keep concepts fresh in their minds or to help them review or reinforce ideas learned.” The SEA also recognized this year’s retirees. The following teachers are retiring from the district: Georgeann Stienecker, 18 years with Sidney, six years at another district; Peggy Holt, 35 years with Sidney; Anthony Wagner, 35 years with Sidney; Vickie Peltier, 35 years with Sidney; Darla Kreitzer, 29 years with Sidney; Margo Bush, 24 years with Sidney, 10 years with another district; and Mary Jannides, 17 years with Sidney, 12 years at another district.

The proposed changes are not set in stone, according to Van Allen. “The workday will be determined by the actual amount of work they have.” Which hours the offices are open will also depend on a variety of things, he said, including public input and the typical busiest hours for each community. Van Allen said the people in the affected communities will be contacted by mail, naturally, to inform them of the upcoming meeting for their community. He noted that even communities in which meetings have already been held because of proposed closures of their particular office will have another meeting for the latest proposed change.

BRIEFLY Girls found GUNTOWN, Miss. (AP) — Mississippi authorities say a fugitive accused of a double-slaying and kidnapping has been killed but the two girls he fled with are safe. Guntown Police Chief Michael Hall says 35-yearold Adam Mayes was killed Thursday evening. He says 12-year-old Alexandria Bain and 8-year-old Kyliyah Bain are safe. Hall says Mayes died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. The chief says a SWAT team located Mayes and when they moved in to apprehend him, he shot himself. He says the girls are being taken to a hospital for observation. It was not immediately clear if the girls were with Mayes. Mayes’ wife told investigators her husband killed Jo Ann and Adrienne Bain on April 27 at their home in Whiteville, Tenn., so he could abduct the two young sisters.
Calico lobster on display BOSTON (AP) — So you think blue lobsters are rare? The New England Aquarium is holding a lobster that’s way rarer than that. The aquarium in Boston says it has a calico lobster that could be a 1-in-30 million find. The lobster is dark with bright orange and yellow spots. It was caught off Winter Harbor, Maine, and is being held at the New England Aquarium for the Biomes Marine Biology Center, a science center in Rhode Island. Aquarium spokesman Tony Lacasse says calico lobsters are quite rare. The Maine-based Lobster Conservancy says perhaps one lobster in 1 million is blue, while both the orange and calico versions might be as rare as 1 in 30 million.
Lawsuit filed against sheriff PHOENIX (AP) — As defiant as ever, get-tough Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio faces a federal court showdown over charges that deputies on his trademark immigration patrols racially profiled Latinos in violation of civil rights law. After months of negotiations failed to reach a settlement over the allegations, the U.S. Justice Department took the rare step Thursday of suing. “We have invariably been able to work collaboratively with law enforcement agencies to build better departments and safer communities,” Assistant U.S. Attorney General Thomas Perez said.

Suicide bombs kill 55 DAMASCUS, Syria (AP) — Twin suicide car bombs exploded outside a military intelligence building and killed 55 people Thursday, tossing mangled bodies in the street in the deadliest attack against a regime target since the Syrian uprising began 14 months ago. The bombings fueled fears of a rising Islamic militant element among the forces seeking to oust President Bashar Assad and dealt a further blow to international efforts to end the bloodshed. The first car bomb went off on a key six-lane highway during the morning rush hour, knocking down a security wall outside the government building and drawing people to the scene, witnesses said. A much larger blast soon followed, shaking the neighborhood, setting dozens of cars ablaze and sending up a gray mushroom cloud visible around the capital. Syrian state TV video showed dozens
demned the attack and expressed concern that al-Qaida may be increasingly taking advantage of the country’s prolonged instability. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta told reporters that U.S. intelligence indicates “an al-Qaida presence in Syria,” but said the extent of its activity was unclear. “Frankly we need to continue to do everything we can to determine what kind of influence they’re trying to exert there,” Panetta said. He also lamented that a month of efforts to implement a U.N. cease-fire plan haven’t worked. British Foreign Secretary William Hague said “the onus is on the Syrian authorities to implement a full cease-fire and begin the political dialogue required by the Annan plan,” while the U.N. Security Council said in a statement that “any acts of terrorism are criminal and unjustifiable regardless of their motivation.”
War of words battle begins Romney denies targeting classmates for being gay WASHINGTON (AP) — Mitt Romney apologized Thursday for “stupid” high school pranks that may have gone too far and moved quickly to stamp out any notion that he bullied schoolmates because they were gay. His swift response reflected the Republican presidential candidate’s recognition that his record on gay rights is under heightened scrutiny following President Barack Obama’s embrace of gay marriage.
One day after gay rights moved to the center of the presidential race with Obama’s announcement on samesex marriage, a Washington Post report about Romney’s high school escapades nearly 50 years ago added a personal dimension to Democrats’ claim that he’s out of step on the sensitive topic. The newspaper reported that in one case, Romney and several schoolmates held down classmate John Lauber and cut off his bleached blond hair after seeking him out in his dorm room at their boarding school in the wealthy Detroit suburb of Bloomfield Hills, Mich. The Post said Lauber was “perpetually teased for his nonconformity and presumed homosexuality” and that he screamed for help as Romney held him down. The paper recounted another incident in which Romney shouted “atta girl” to a different student at the all-boys’ school who, years later, came out as gay.
Obama criticizes Romney as ‘backwards on equality’ SEATTLE (AP) — President Barack Obama wasted little time casting Republican rival Mitt Romney as “backwards on equality” on Thursday, eager to transform his historic embrace of same-sex marriage into donor enthusiasm and grassroots vigor. Just one day after announcing his support of the top gay rights issue, Obama was attending a lavish West Coast fundraiser hosted by actor George Clooney in Los Angeles’ Studio City area, the heart of celebrity gay marriage activism. At the same time, his campaign rolled out a Web video claiming Romney would roll back some rights for same-sex couples White House spokesman Jay Carney brushed aside questions about the timing of the attack on Romney, saying that Obama and Romney had differed on issues of gay rights even before the president declared his support for same-sex marriage. “Gov. Romney is for an amendment to the U.S. Constitution that would enshrine discrimination into our founding legal document,” Carney said. “The president thinks that’s wrong. So their positions were starkly different before yesterday.” In Seattle, where he was attending two fundraisers, Obama witnessed the support first hand as his motorcade passed a woman holding an infant and a sign that said: “Thank you! Mr. President for standing up for my mommys!”
Arizona school forfeits game Won’t play team with girl player
OUT OF THE BLUE Naked man charged KEMAH, Texas (AP) — Police say a man arrested in a Southeast Texas city for riding his unicycle in the nude was distracting drivers and creating a hazard. Kemah police Chief Greg Rikard says 45-yearold Joseph Glynn Farley was not intoxicated or impaired when he was arrested Wednesday on a bridge in the city 20 miles southeast of Houston. Rikard says Farley had been falling off the unicycle and into traffic. Farley told officers that he liked the feeling of riding without his clothes, which were found at the base of the bridge. Police charged Farley, of Clear Lake, with misdemeanor indecent exposure. Bond is set at $1,500.
of bodies, some charred or dismembered, strewn in the rubble or still inside damaged cars. An Associated Press reporter at the scene saw medics in rubber gloves picking through the site for human remains amid the two craters that were blasted into the asphalt. The Interior Ministry, which oversees the police and security services, said 55 people were killed and more than 370 were wounded. Officials said suicide bombers detonated explosives weighing more than 1,000 kilograms (2,200 pounds). “The house shook like it was an earthquake,” Maha Hijazi said, standing outside her home nearby. World powers seeking to halt Syria’s unrest condemned the attack and urged all sides to adhere to a cease-fire brokered by U.N. and Arab League envoy Kofi Annan. The Obama administration con-

PAIGE SULTZBACH, 15, catches a baseball in Mesa, Ariz. on Wednesday. Our Lady of Sorrows has bowed out of Thursday night’s game against Mesa Preparatory Academy in the Arizona Charter Athletic Association championship, rather then face a team with a female player. Sultzbach, plays second base at Mesa Prep.
PHOENIX (AP) — Instead of playing in a championship baseball game, Paige Sultzbach and her team won’t even make it to the dugout. A Phoenix school that was scheduled to play the 15-yearold Mesa girl and her male teammates forfeited the game rather than face a female player. Our Lady of Sorrows bowed out of Thursday night’s game against Mesa Preparatory Academy in the Arizona Charter Athletic Association championship. The game had been scheduled at Phoenix College. Paige, who plays second base at Mesa Prep, had to sit out two previous games against Our Lady of Sorrows out of respect for its beliefs. But having her miss the championship was not an option for Mesa Prep. Paige’s mother, Pamela Sultzbach, told The Arizona Republic, which first reported the story, the team found out about the forfeit Wednesday. “This is not a contact sport, it shouldn’t be an issue,” Pamela Sultzbach said. “It
wasn’t that they were afraid they were going to hurt or injure her, it’s that (they believe) a girl’s place is not on a field.” Officials at Our Lady of Sorrows declined comment. In a written statement Thursday, the school said the decision to forfeit was consistent with a policy prohibiting co-ed sports. The statement also said the school teaches boys respect by not placing girls in athletic competition, where “proper boundaries can only be respected with difficulty.” Our Lady of Sorrows is run by the U.S. branch of the Society of Saint Pius X. The group represents conservative, traditional priests who broke from the Catholic Church in the 1980s. In junior high, Paige played softball and volleyball. Because Mesa Prep does not have a girls softball team, she tried out for the boys baseball team and received support from her coach and her fellow teammates. Lisa Maatz, director of public policy at the American Association of University Women,
said the situation is a clear example of why Title IX law, which enforces gender equality in education programs including sports, is needed. “The very idea that such stereotypes are so strong, they’d actually forfeit a game simply because a girl was on the field. That’s ridiculous,” Maatz said. “Does she have cooties?” Nancy Hogshead-Makar, senior director of advocacy for the Women’s Sports Foundation, said the school’s decision to forfeit doesn’t aid its own students. “In real life, these boys are going to be competing against the girls for jobs, for positions in graduate programs or in trade schools,” HogsheadMakar said. “In every other area of their life, they are going to be competing side by side.” Both schools play in the seven-team 1A division of the ACAA. Our Lady of Sorrows won the Western Division and Mesa Prep won the Eastern Division with an undefeated season.

Overcoming all adversities Lockington mom to receive degree tonight BY BETHANY J. ROYER Ohio Community Media broyer@dailycall.com
Edison to celebrate 37th commencement
— LOCKINGTON While families across the nation will observe Mother’s Day this weekend, one area family will start celebrations a little early as today marks a special achievement for mom of three and “mamaw” of six, Sherry Goodman. Goodman, married just shy of 37 years come May 22 to Billy, will add graduate of Edison Community College in Medical Office Support to her repertoire tonight, an enormous achievement for someone who just three years ago was given a 3 percent chance of survival after a motorcycle accident. It was the first warm weekend of spring, April 5, 2009, the Goodman couple was traveling along I-75 through Cincinnati, headed north from Kentucky on what their daughters, Shelly Atkinson, Stacy Nash and Tabitha Taylor, say was a beautiful Sunday afternoon. An active couple, the Goodmans were always out and about, as stated by the sisters who joked that they could never reach them by phone and that their parents loved that motorcycle. “She’d hear that thing start and she’d run out the door, we went together, everywhere,” said Billy of his wife on his, or rather, their first motorcycle purchased in 2006. However, that day in 2009, everything changed for the very active couple. “We got the call about three in the afternoon that we needed to come to University Medical Center,” Atkinson initially wrote in an email before sitting down at Piqua Wendy’s along with her father and sisters to talk about that life-changing moment three years ago. Told her parents had been in an accident, Atkinson collected her sisters and headed for Cincinnati, the two-hour drive full of emotions as the hospital refused to give them any other information. “It was kind of an odd thing when we pulled up, it was on Goodman Drive,” said Tabitha of that horrible day when they parked in the Goodman garage, the nurses asking if they were part of the Goodman family, while their mother was in the Goodman ward. “It was all very eerie.” Ushered into a room, the sisters had only a short wait for the doctor who explained their mother was in surgery and would be for another six hours. The family matriarch had suffered a shattered spleen, punctured and collapsed lungs; a broken leg with no tendons to attach the upper part of her leg to the lower part, every rib broken save three, a broken arm, and her breast plate was cracked.

PIQUA — Edison Community College will wrap up the spring term tonight in the Piqua campus gymnasium, with the 37th commencement ceremony in the school’s history. Nearly 450 students will be earning a total of 475 degrees or certificates in the allied health fields, business and accounting, paralegal and various other fields at this year’s graduation, which will take place in the Edison gymnasium. This will be the first graduating class under current Edison president, Dr. Cris Valdez, who took over in May 2011. “I know the faculty and staff here at Edison really go all in to make sure our students’ needs are the top priority,” said Chip Hare, director of student life and athletics. “For many of our students, this has been a long and challenging road and we’re proud to be here to serve and encourage them in their accomplishments.” Speaking to the graduates, faculty and staff this year will be Dr. Christopher Grove, general surgeon at Upper Valley Medical Center. Grove, who attended George C. Wallace Community College in Alabama, is also the current medical director for Miami County Surgeons. Edison’s involvement with the Post-Secondary Enrollment Options Program (PSEOP) continues to help high-achieving students get a jump-start on their college careers by offering them courses for college-credit while experiencing daily campus life. This year, Edison will have 20 students who are graduating with an associate degree before graduating from high school. “PSEOP at Edison provides our area high school students with many great opportunities. Being able to have a two-year degree completed in general is a great accomplishment, but having it done before high school graduation really says a lot about a student,” said Trevor Stutz, admissions coordinator. “Many of these students will be transferring on to a four-year institution as a junior, while others are prepared to start their careers. There’s a lot of hard work and determination required to accomplish this, and Edison is very proud of their achievements.” Former Edison president Dr. Kenneth Yowell will be presented with a plaque for his years of service to the college. Yowell retired in 2011 after serving as Edison’s president for 23 years and was named president emeritus.
Goodman’s agree that Sherry’s unstoppable spirit has always been a part of her character. “We’re pretty proud of her,” said Billy “There’s nobody in the world that could do what she’s done. She’s the most determined woman I’ve ever seen in my life.” “She had a 3 percent chance of living,” said Stacy reflecting on the past to now. “Then told she’d never walk again; a lot of nevers. She could stay home, never work again, most people might do that, she wouldn’t do it.” “I think that’s what keeps her honestly strong,” said Tabitha. “They told her she couldn’t.”

“She’s been through a lot,” said Shelly. “It’s quite a story.” As the family continued to reflect on a mother’s and wife’s strength, Billy explained how the first time Sherry stood again, on her own, was on Mother’s Day, the long fight back to today’s graduation and a celebration of moms making the memory especially poignant. “It’s a life changing thing when you have a wreck like that, it changed everything. It makes you respect life more,” Billy said. “We take it one day at a time now. You don’t know if you’ll be here tomorrow.”

BY TERRY PELLMAN HOUSTON — The Hardin-Houston School District is making use of a special technology to assist students with their reading skills. Faculty member and intervention specialist Dee Monnin is the coordinator of the Read Naturally program. Monnin was introduced to the concept while working in a summer tutoring program at the Learning Center of the Lake Campus of Wright State University at Celina. At that time, she was working with the paper version of the program, but she was very impressed with the potential she saw. It was her hope to bring the program to the HardinHouston district. Monnin and Houston Principal Ryan Maier visited the Fort Recovery School District to observe the manner in which they were using Read Naturally. She credits the principal for being instrumental in bringing the program to the district. Monnin explains that Read Naturally is an individualized reading intervention program that focuses on reading fluency and comprehension for selected students. There are currently 35 students taking part. There are four computers that allow students to log into the Read Naturally program. Monnin explains that most of the students using the program are in the seventh and eighth grades, although there are students in the higher grade levels taking part as well. Each student has a password to enter the program. It cannot be accessed from computers outside the school. In using Read Naturally, a student will learn new terms, make a prediction of the outcome of a story or article, be timed on their reading, and complete a quiz of five to 10 questions. The last step involves typing several sentences to summarize the story to further ensure comprehension of the content that was just read. The student will receive immediate data on their performance, and that information is transmit-

YOU BORN TODAY You’re talented, outspoken and mischievous. You love to tease and will invariably pierce sacred cows and debunk myths. You tell it like it is. Even if you do not seek this out, you often are thrust into a leadership role. Others cooperate with you because you’re sympathetic. Work to build or construct something this year, because your rewards will soon follow. Birthdate of: Tony Hawk, professional skateboarder; George Carlin, comedian; Carla Hall, TV chef.
Board updated on programs At its recent meeting, the S&H Products Board of Trustees heard updates on several programs. Adult Services Director Rick Husa reported that S&H had a new bagging job in house. He also said that current jobs in house remain steady. The board learned that Jessica Baltes, part-time employment trainer, has been hired. She is developing cur-
riculum and providing job training for participants in the Bridges to Transition Program. That program serves people 14-22 years old. It is funded by the federal government. Program Manager Krista Oldiges reported she represented S&H at a provider fair at the Shelby Hills gymnasium. There were 11 providers from Shelby,
Mercer, Miami and Allen counties. Board members learned that a satisfaction survey is being sent out to employees and their families and/or providers to assess needs in the program. The results will be used to provide help in developing any needed changes. The next board meeting will be May 18.

Now the infection enters a latent stage, a stage without signs or symptoms. The syphilis bacterium still lives in the body and carries out destructive work that eventually turns into the third stage. Third-stage syphilis develops in about one-third of untreated patients. It shows itself 10 to 30 years after the second stage. Signs of brain dysfunction, the development of aneurysms (bulges) on the aorta and the appearance of painless nodules (gumma) on the skin and internal organs are the hallmarks of the third stage. Penicillin is still the drug used to treat

syphilis. If a person is allergic to penicillin, other antibiotics can take its place. DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I felt a soft lump on the left side of my neck. It was sort of tender when I kept touching it. My temperature was normal all the time I had it — more than a month. I didn’t have a sore throat ever. My doctor didn’t know what it was, but he had me get a scan. It’s a lymph node. Now what do I do? — E.S. ANSWER: Has your doctor suggested a course of action? Touch base with him. If an enlarged node remains tender, big and undiagnosed for more than a month, it should be removed for microscopic examination. Your doctor should be the one who’s guiding you in this matter.

Adult survivor of child abuse wants to break from her past DEAR ABBY: my parents took his side When I was in sixth over that of their two daughters. I won’t let grade, my 19-year-old brother, “Ray,” came my daughter be alone into my room and fonwith him — or with him dled me late at night. I and my mom, because I don’t trust her anymore. pretended to be asleep so I didn’t have to deal Should I tell my parwith the situation. I ents I don’t want to hear told my mom afterabout my brother and Dear ward. She told me not no longer want to be Abby to tell my father and around him? — Abigail bought a lock for my WRONGED IN GEORVan Buren GIA door. Years later, when my DEAR WRONGED: sister found out what happened Yes, if it will make you feel betto me, she told me Ray had also ter, by all means do. That your done it to her. She told Dad and parents would ignore your confronted Mom. Neither one brother’s predatory behavior is ever said anything to Ray. appalling.

I am in- contact with him to a minimum. vited because I just ignore him, No child is safe around your but it’s uncomfortable knowing brother.
If you and your sister haven’t had counseling to come to terms with what happened to you, please consider contacting the Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network (RAINN). The website is www.rainn.org, and the toll-free number is (800) 656-4673. Nothing you say to the counselors will shock them, and they will be glad to refer you to someone qualified to help you. DEAR ABBY: I think my in-laws want my husband to divorce me because I have Asperger’s syndrome and bipolar disorder. Sometimes I innocently say things that other family members take offense to. My mother-in-law then calls my husband, tells him what a “nut” I am and how upset “soand-so” got. This results in huge fights between my husband and me, and it’s hurting our marriage.
I have offered to educate my in-laws about bipolar and Asperger’s, but they say I’m just making excuses for my behavior. I would like to explain to them that my thought processes aren’t the same as everyone else’s, so I am going to make mistakes in what I say to people. I am hurt by their judgment and lack of tolerance. I don’t do “bad” things often — maybe once or twice a year. But instead of overlooking it, they make a big deal out of it because I’m different. They should focus on the good. I do a lot of charity work and would help anyone in need. Their lack of understanding is ruining my marriage. I’m 25 and we have been married for five years. I don’t want to throw that away. What do I do? — AM HOW I AM IN ALABAMA DEAR “HOW YOU ARE”: That your marriage has
lasted through five years of your mother-in-law’s attempts to undercut it tells me the bond between you and your husband must be a strong one. Does he understand how Asperger’s and bipolar disorder affect the brain? If not, then the doctor who prescribes your medication should explain it to him so he can explain to his parents that what they are complaining about is not your fault. And if they don’t “get it,” a behavioral specialist should explain to them that they should be more patient and understanding with a member of their family. Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also knownas Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Write Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

Pirates win over Covington
FORT LORAMIE — The Riverside Lady Pirates used the long ball to score twice in the top of the seventh and upset Fort Loramie in Division IV Sectional softball action at Loramie Thursday. The Lady Pirates are the No. 7 seed in the tournament and Loramie was the No. 2 seed. Riverside now advances to the sectional championship on Tuesday at Russia against either Bradford or Troy Christian. “We got beat by a good team tonight,” said Fort Loramie coach Brad Turner. “Riverside is a hot team. They’ve beaten some very good teams since the draw and were obviously geared up and ready to hit today.” Riverside pitcher Paige Atterholt allowed Fort Loramie only three hits and struck out eight. But going to the fifth inning, she and her teammates trailed 2-1. Riverside got a run in the first, but Loramie came back with two in the fourth. Darian Rose led off with a hit and Paige Ordean walked. Rose scored on a bunt by Danielle Wehrman, then Hallie Benanzer plated the go-ahead run with a base hit. Riverside tied it in the sixth on a base hit by Giles. Then in the top of the seventh, Heather Comer led off with a home run and Whitney Jenkins followed with a home run, both over the centerfield fence. Jenkins wound up 3-for-4 with two RBIs, and Erin Krisher and Chelsea Giles both had two singles. Fort Loramie has two County games remaining as the Lady Redskins go for a league title.

Injury jeopardizes season CCSMV golf outing to be held May 18 for Browns’ DT Phil Taylor CLEVELAND (AP) — Browns defensive tackle Phil Taylor’s season could be in jeopardy after he injured a chest muscle lifting weights on Thursday. Taylor T h e team said the massive Taylor, Cleveland’s first-round draft pick in 2011, hurt his left pectoral muscle while working out during the team’s offseason conditioning program. The Browns said Taylor will be further evaluated on Monday to determine a course of treatment. It is not yet known if Taylor tore the muscle or how long he could be sidelined. Browns linebacker D’Qwell Jackson
missed most of the 2009 and 2010 seasons with torn pectoral muscles, but returned after two surgeries to lead the team in tackles this past season. Taylor’s agent, Peter Schaffer, said surgery is possible. “Either he will be fine and play well or he will correct the problem and be fine and play well,” Schaffer said in an email. “Those are the only two options we are looking at or thinking about.” The 6-foot-3, 335pound Taylor was selected by the Browns with the No. 21 overall pick in 2011. He started all 16 games as a rookie and finished with 59 tackles and four sacks. Primarily a run stopper, Taylor and fellow rookie Jabaal Sheard vastly im-

proved Cleveland’s defensive front. The Browns were criticized by some fans and draft experts for taking Cincinnati defensive tackle John Hughes in the third round last month. But if Taylor is out for any significant time, Hughes could be thrust into the starting lineup or get even more playing time in the tackle rotation with veterans Brian Schaefering, Scott Paxson and fellow rookie Billy Winn, a sixth-round pick from Boise State. Hughes reported to Berea on Thursday for a physical with the team’s other rookies, who will participate in a threeday minicamp this weekend.
a pair of fifth-round choices from last month’s draft. The club announced on Thursday that cornerback Shaun Prater and safety George Iloka had come to terms. Prater, a 5-foot-10, 190-pounder out of Iowa, was the 156th overall selection. He played in 48 games with 35 starts over four seasons for the Hawkeyes, totaling 171 tackles and seven interceptions. He averaged 24.7 yards on interception returns, bringing back two for touchdowns. The 6-4, 225-pound Iloka, the 167th pick in the draft, played in 53 games with 45 starts over four seasons for Boise State.

He challenged everyone to be aware of the national debt and the role people can take by being involved in their government process at the local, state and federal levels. The secretary also shared his personal story about growing up in a small Ohio town similar to Quincy and DeGraff, how he became active in politics and worked for and was elected to be Ohio’s secretary of state. He then entertained questions from the students and guests before departing for another speaking engagement.

Mom, farmer, bookkeeper ... local woman fills many roles BY MIKE SEFFRIN mseffrin@sdnccg.com If all Carol Huelskamp could say of her life was that she was the mother of 10, grandmother of 45 and greatgrandmother of 77, she would be saying a lot. But she can add farmer, master pie baker, bookkeeper, volunteer, world traveler and probably several other titles. As she celebrates Mother’s Day Sunday, Huelskamp, 84, can look back on a very active, eventful life and look forward to more of the same. Huelskamp and her husband, Eugene, began with 36 dairy cows in 1951 on the Sidney-area farm where Carol still lives. Eugene died in 1997, less than a year after the couple celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary. The farming operation has grown over the years to include children and grandchildren. Besides milking about 180 head of cattle, the farm today also raises beef cattle and hogs, and grows corn, soybeans, wheat and hay.

skamp is back to her busy, active lifestyle. In recovering from her health problems, Huelskamp had a good example in her own husband. In 1976, Eugene, 52 at the time, suffered a broken hip in a car crash. The injury left him housebound for three years, but hip replacements enabled him to return to farming. With her many offspring, Huelskamp is always on the go.
‘All their names’
in Sidney, she said her favorite trip was to Rome and the Vatican. “The pope (John Paul II) came out for an audience while we were there,” she said. Even the terrorist attacks of 9/11 didn’t deter her. She went ahead with a planned trip to the Baltic Sea area a week after 9/11. A visit to California is still on her list. She’s never been there.
