MARION SWISS, of Sidney, looks over some of his military papers from when he served in the U.S. Army. Swiss is one of eight World War II veterans who will visit Washington D.C. this weekend.
It’s been 64 years since Marion Swiss, of Sidney, visited Washington, D.C. On that trip, he and his bride of a year, Clara, visited the nation’s capital, along with other places along Swiss had seen during his training in the U.S. Army. On Friday, the couple, along with eight other World War II veterans, will return to Washington, D.C., to visit the memorial built in their honor. The trip, sponsored by the Shelby County Veterans to D.C., will also include 25 Korean War veterans. Caregivers and volunteers will also be traveling with the veterans. Swiss, 89, enlisted in the Army in 1942 when he was 19. He served for just over three years. “I was in electrical school in Chillicothe,” said Swiss. “The government paid for the school and they told me if I wanted more training then I had to enlist.” See VETERAN/Page 2A
Laura Norris is, literally, a coal miner’s daughter. So she said the during speech that introduced the new Shelby County 4-H youth development educator and Ohio State University Extension Service Norris director to the community at the monthly Agriculture Luncheon Thursday. The native of Monroe County is also the daughter of her mother, a retired nurse and police officer. Norris took up her new duties in Sidney May 1 and has established her residence in Anna. “I’m excited to be here,” she said. “This is the accumulation of my professional aspirations.” Norris was a member of 4H in her youth. She raised dairy cattle, presented small animal projects and participated in sewing and cooking clubs. She has earned two bachelor’s degrees and two master’s degrees, three of them from Ohio University: a Bachelor of Science in wildlife biology, a Bachelor of Arts in linguistics and a Master of Arts in linguistics. Her Master of Agriculture in international agriculture was received from Oklahoma State University. See NORRIS/Page 11A
Sidney Theatre still home to performing arts Standing on the historic stage of the Sidney Theatre for the first time can be an incredible experience. It is hard not to think of the thousands of performers that have graced the stage since 1921. If you are a local arts group who has been a part of recent performances it can have even deeper meaning. “It’s amazing to think back on how things have changed,” said Kevin Frazier-Jones, president of Sock & Buskin Community Players. “When we started using the Theatre in 2007, Sock & Buskin was
Fair Haven
nearly defunct. We were doing a show or two every now and then at various locations like the Cameo Theatre or St. Paul’s church on North Ohio. Grease was the first show we did at the Theatre with a cast
of 50. From that we were able to start the Junior Players. Now we’re at three to four productions a year. “Prior to 2007 we had about 12 active people within the organization. Now I would estimate between 300 to 400 active members.” The performers come from within the Shelby County community, with some as far as Troy, St. Marys and Wapakoneta and the adults that are active work in a variety of professions. “I think their love of the arts and performing draws them to Sock & Buskin,
but once they find out we have a performance ‘home’ at the Theatre and we’re not performing in a church basement, it draws them in even more,” says Frazier-Jones. “Everyone involved with Sock & Buskin is extremely excited about the plans for Theatre and are anxiously waiting for the day it’s fully renovated.” Using the theatre today, even in its current condition, has meant more choices and flexibility for local arts groups when setting their seasons.

Swiss and his wife met in 1946 when she was working at Stolle Corp. “He went by the window and that’s how we met,” said Clara. The couple got married on Dec. 7, 1947. Swiss worked for Sidney Aluminum until his retirement. He was also a motor route driver for the Sidney Daily News for 13 years. The couple’s children encouraged them to take the trip to D.C., said Clara. Each veteran’s trip is paid for through fundraisers and donations. Caregivers must pay for the trip and in Clara’s case, their children paid for the trip. The veterans will attend a dinner tonight at the Veterans of Foreign Wars where they will receive more information about the trip. The group will depart from the Shelby County Fairgrounds Friday morning and return to the county Sunday evening.

Body found in river
Criminals turn crocheters in Ohio prison program
BY WILL E SANDERS Ohio Community Media wsanders@dailycall.com PIQUA — Authorities recovered the body of a 41-year-old Piqua man from the Great Miami River near his home at daybreak Sunday after family members reported him missing hours earlier. The Piqua Police Department identified the man as Charles W. Hall III, who resides at 1711 S. Main St., and stated an autopsy will be performed, though no foul play is suspected at the time, said Lt. Bill Collins. Police were called to assist in a missing person complaint after Hall did not arrive home Sunday morning after fishing alone along the river. Collins said when police arrived they found Hall’s vehicle, his keys and cell phone near the river bank. “Officers canvassed the neighborhood and were unable to locate the subject,” Collins said. “Upon checking the scene (officers found) a snagged fishing line and slip marks along the bank indicated the subject fell into the river.” The body was found “a few hundred yards” down river and was later recovered by the Piqua Fire Department, Collins added. A preliminary investigation has revealed Hall had allegedly been consuming alcohol and an autopsy will be performed to confirm or deny that. Preliminary indications are this is an accidental drowning. Collins said the incident points out the dangers of fishing alone at night. “This is a terrible tragedy,” he said.
Obama honors slain officer COPLEY (AP) — President Barack Obama has honored a northeast Ohio police officer who fatally shot a man who killed seven people in a shooting rampage last year as one of America’s top police officers in a White House ceremony on Saturday. Multiple media outlets report that Copley police Officer Ben Campbell joined Obama, Vice President Joe Biden and 33 other officers from around the country for a special ceremony at the Rose Garden. Campbell has been credited with stopping 51-year-old Michael Hance last August. Two high school students and an 11-yearold boy were among those killed by Hance in Copley on Aug. 7.

THIS UNDATED photo provided by Ohio Caverns in West Liberty shows the nearly five foot long Crystal King stalactite. Sections of the state's largest cave system, discovered in 1897, that haven't been seen by the public will open beginning Memorial Day weekend — increasing the amount of surveyed passageways to 3 1-2 miles.
Cave system to open new areas to public CINCINNATI (AP) — Sections of a cave system that haven’t been open before to the public will be available for tours in a couple of weeks in west central Ohio just in time for the summer season. Visitors to Ohio Caverns in West Liberty still will be able to take the tour that has been offered since 1925 at the caverns known for their array of colors and abundant stalactites and stalagmites. But beginning Memorial Day weekend, they also can choose a tour providing more historical information about the cave and a shorter one with access for the disabled — rare in caves due to the often rough terrain. The sections formerly closed off by debris and mud will make the existing tour and the historical one each about a mile long, increasing the amount of surveyed passageways to 3 1-2 miles. Workers started clearing the thick clay-like mud in the formerly closed sections in 2007. “You could crawl through the areas, but you couldn’t walk in them,” Ohio Caverns owner Eric Evans said. The caverns running underneath a 35-acre park in Logan and Champaign counties were formed thousands of years ago when an underground river cut through limestone, forming large rooms and passageways. Mineral deposits created highly decorative cave walls stained with red, orange,
blue, purple and yellow in addition to the more traditional brown, black and white. The caverns about 45 miles northwest of Columbus were discovered in 1897 by a farm hand when a 30-foot deep sinkhole opened up after heavy rain, Evans said. Visitors were drawn to the thousands of stalactites, stalagmites and other formations and took lantern-lit, self-guided tours in the early 20th century. The 45-minute formal tour offered for nearly 90 years takes visitors past formations such as the Crystal King, a 400pound white stalactite nearly five feet long and more than 200,000 years old, and the Palace, featuring translucent crysOther rare tals. formations such as helictites, which resemble straws, hang from the ceiling in unusual twisted shapes. Rare dual formations feature reddish iron oxide on top of pure white calcium carbonate, with the colors never blending. The new sections don’t have as many formations, but offer additional color and another entrance so visitors don’t have to backtrack to exit. The caverns are open all year and typically draw about 60,000 visitors annually, said Evans, who hopes the additions will boost attendance by another 20,000, at least the first year.
Casino GM: ‘A team effort’ CLEVELAND (AP) — The general manager who will open the doors to Ohio’s first casino on Monday is all business discussing his pioneering role. But his eyes widen and he becomes animated at the mention of playing craps. “There’s a lot of action on the table,” Marcus Glover, 37, said in an interview in the high-octane days leading up to the big date. “There are a lot of people wagering on different action and sometimes you have company on the action that you’re on, so when that hits, there’s nothing like having someone to celebrate with.” There will be no cele-

brating at the craps table for Glover at Horseshoe Casino Cleveland where he is senior vice president and GM. Glover is barred from betting there or at other casinos owned by parent company Caesars Entertainment. As the public face of the state’s first casino, Glover has become a regular fixture at gatherings around town, talking up the tables, the casino’s role in the community and much-discussed job potential. In his younger days in sports, Glover said, “I was always willing to assume the burden, or the responsibility, of making tough decisions, doing the tough things and never neces-
sarily had a fear of failing at anything. Playing football, I was always the quarterback of my team.” But with the dizzying pace of a casino operation, Glover said he understands the role of a deep bench in Ohio’s newest industry to create a positive first impression upon hardened gamblers and tour bus visitors. “I’m a part of something that’s much bigger than just me. This is truly a team effort of many, many people coming together to make this happen,” he said. “A lot of times that doesn’t get the prominence that it probably should because I’m speaking on behalf of a lot of people.”
LEBANON (AP) — Robert Mack killed a Mount Airy man in a shootout in 2007. Jonathan Seals shot his mother’s boyfriend to death in Springfield. Justin Stephan used a knife and a brick in a thrill killing in Tuscarawas County. The hands of these men have committed the unthinkable. Now, they are armed with a flexible plastic crochet hook instead of tools of violence. Now, these tainted hands are doing good. “I do it for the love,” said Mack, who is 28 and has one year left on a fiveyear prison sentence for voluntary manslaughter. Behind fences lined with razor wire at Lebanon Correctional Institution in Warren County, these three inmates are among 15 who spend their down time looping and twisting strands of yarn — much of it donated — into delicate baby booties, mittens, hats, afghans and lap blankets. These are tough guys in a prison designed for maximum-security inmates. They are members
of “Real Men Crochet.” The program was unique to LCI but has since spread to one other prison. In it, inmates crochet items that are donated to the Veteran’s Administration Hospital in Dayton, to women’s and homeless shelters, maternity programs, and to Crayons to Computers free store for teachers in Cincinnati. “Real Men Crochet” started in 2008 and gained popularity among inmates that are eligible for extra privileges, said Jan Vurginac, who coordinates the program. “Time goes by quick and they enjoy doing it for the children. It keeps them busy. Idle time is a big problem,” she said. None of them had ever picked up a crochet hook before, nor would they think twice about doing it on the outside. “Never,” said Seals. The LCI inmates are an important part of the “Keep Our Kids Warm” program at Crayons to Computers, said Susan Van Amerongen, who coordinates Crayons to Computers prison programs. The LCI inmates provided 300 handmade
mittens, hats and scarves this year to school kids who needed them. And there was a memorable afghan that made an autistic student’s life a little easier in class, said Van Amerongen. It was bigger than he was and he carried it around with him in school. “They really take incredible pride in it,” Van Amerongen said of LCI inmates. “It gives them an opportunity to stay connected to the rest of the community. The chaos that brought them into the prison . at least now they are able to have the opportunity to give back and to be the PTA parent they never were on the outside. The fact that these guys do that is huge.” More experienced inmates in the program teach the newbies how to crochet. They can try to tackle patterns if they want. But most just wing it. “That’s all it is — experimentation,” said Seals. Stephan, who is in prison for life without the possibility of parole, had just joined the group three days earlier.
Area faces costly trials in slaying LOGAN, Ohio (AP) — Officials and residents of a southeast Ohio county are concerned about bills the Appalachian area faces for three murder trials in the slaying of a woman found strangled in a septic tank last year. Hocking County commissioners have put $100,000 into a fund to pay for the upcoming trials in 25-year-old Sum-
mer Inman’s slaying, but they know that will not be enough, The Columbus Dispatch reported Sunday. No one knows how high the cost will be for the county of approximately 29,000 people about 50 miles southeast of Columbus. “That could just be a drop in the bucket,” Commissioner Sandra Ogle
said of the $100,000. Inman was abducted on March 22 last year outside a Logan bank she was cleaning after hours, forced by two men into a car driven by a woman and strangled, authorities said. Her body was found a week later in an underground septic tank behind a church near Nelsonville in Athens County.

‘Avengers’ add $103.2 million LOS ANGELES (AP) — “The Avengers” is taking a page out of Superman’s comic book — flying faster than a speeding bullet to the billion-dollar mark at the box office. The superhero blockbuster took in $103.2 million to lead for a second-straight weekend, raising its domestic total to $373.2 million, according to studio estimates Sunday. With $95.4 million more overseas, “The Avengers” lifted its international receipts to $628.9 million and a worldwide haul of just over $1 billion, only 19 days after it began rolling out in some markets.
Donald ‘Duck’ Dunn dies NEW YORK (AP) — Donald “Duck” Dunn, the bassist who helped create the gritty Memphis soul sound at Stax Records in the 1960s as part of the legendary group Booker T. and the MGs and contributed to such classics as “In the Midnight Hour,” ”Hold On I’m Coming” and “Sitting on the Dock of the Bay,” died Sunday at 70. Dunn, whose legacy as one of the most respected session musicians in the business also included work with John Belushi and Dan Ackroyd’s Blues Brothers as well as with Levon Helm, Eric Clapton, Neil Young and Bob Dylan, died while on tour in Tokyo. News of his death was posted on the Facebook site of his friend and fellow musician Steve Cropper, who was on the same tour. Cropper said Dunn died in his sleep.

Peace negotiator killed KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — A gunman in a car assassinated a former high-ranking Taliban official working to end the decade-long war in Afghanistan, dealing a powerful blow Sunday to the fragile, U.S.-backed effort to bring peace to the country. Arsala Rahmani, a top member of the Afghan peace council and a senator in Parliament, was killed a week before a key NATO summit and just hours before President Hamid Karzai announced the third stage of a five-part transition that is supposed to put Afghan security forces in control of their country by the end of 2014. Police said an assassin with a silencer-equipped pistol shot Rahmani, who was in his 70s, as he was riding in his car in one of the capital’s most secure areas, near Kabul University. The gunman fired from a white Toyota Corolla that pulled up alongside Rahmani’s vehicle at an intersection. Rahmani’s driver rushed him to a hospital, but he died on the way, police said. Rahmani was a former deputy minister of higher education in the Taliban regime that was ousted by the U.S.led invasion in 2001. He eventually reconciled with the government and was trying to

Bodies found MONTERREY, Mexico (AP) — Forty-nine bodies with their heads, hands and feet hacked off were found Sunday dumped on a northern Mexico highway leading to the Texas border in what appeared to be the latest carnage in an escalating war between Mexico’s two dominant drug cartels. Local and federal authorities discovered the bodies before dawn lying in a pool of blood at the entrance to the desert town of San Juan, on a highway leading from the metropolis of Monterrey to the border city of Reynosa. A white stone arch welcoming visitors was spray-painted with black letters: “100% Zeta.”

Secrets will stay secret TRENTON, N.J. (AP) State education officials will no longer use a standardized test question that asked third-graders to reveal a secret and write about why it was difficult to keep. The question appeared on the writing portion of some versions of the New Jersey Assessment of Skills and Knowledge given to third-graders this past week. And it drew criticism from some parents, who thought it was inappropriate. The state Department of Education said the question was reviewed and approved by it and a panel of teachers. It said Friday the question was only being tried out and would not count in the students' scores. But after further review, Department of Education spokesman Justin Barra said, the question won't be included in future tests.

IN THIS Friday, Aug. 13, 2004, satellite image provided by DigitalGlobe and the Institute for Science and International Security shows the military complex at Parchin, Iran, 30 kilometers (about 19 miles) southeast of Tehran. Iran has made no secret of its hopes for the next round of nuclear negotiations with world powers: Possible pledges by the West to ease sanctions as a step toward deal making by Tehran.
AP Exclusive: Drawing focuses on Iran’s nuke work BY GEORGE JAHN Associated Press VIENNA (AP) — A drawing based on information from inside an Iranian military site shows an explosives containment chamber of the type needed for nuclear arms-related tests that U.N. inspectors suspect Tehran has conducted there. Iran denies such testing and has neither confirmed nor denied the existence of such a chamber. The computer-generated drawing was provided to The Associated Press by an official of a country tracking Iran’s nuclear program who said it proves the structure exists, despite Tehran’s refusal to acknowledge it. That official said the image is based on information from a person who had seen the chamber at the Parchin military site, adding that going into detail would endanger the life of that informant. The official comes from an IAEA member country that is severely critical of Iran’s assertions that its nuclear activities are peaceful and asserts they are a springboard for making atomic arms. A former senior IAEA official said he believes the drawing is accurate. Olli Heinonen, until last year the U.N. nuclear agency’s deputy director general in charge of the Iran file, said it was “very similar” to a photo he recently saw that he believes to be the pres-
sure chamber the IAEA suspects is at Parchin. He said even the colors of the computer-generated drawing matched that of the photo he had but declined to go into the origins of the photo to protect his source. After months of being rebuffed, IAEA and Iranian officials meet starting Monday in Vienna, and the IAEA will renew its attempt to gain access to the chamber, allegedly hidden in a building. Any evidence that Iran is hiding such an explosives containment tank, and details on how it functions, is significant for IAEA investigations. Beyond IAEA hopes of progress, that two-day meeting is being closely watched by six powers trying to persuade Iran to make nuclear concessions aimed at reducing fears that it may want to develop atomic arms as a moodsetter for May 23 talks between the six and Tehran in Baghdad. Warnings by Israel that it may attack Iran’s nuclear facilities eased after Iran and the six - the United States, Russia, China, Britain, France and Germany - met last month and agreed there was enough common will for the Baghdad round. But with the Jewish state saying it is determined to stop Iran before it develops the capacity to build nuclear weapons, failure at the Iraq talks could turn such threats into reality.
NEW YORK (AP) — JPMorgan Chase is expected to accept the resignation of one of the highest-ranking women on Wall Street after the bank lost $2 billion in a trading blunder, a person familiar with the matter said Sunday. The bank will accept the resignation of Ina Drew, its chief investment officer, the person told The Associated Press, speaking on condition of anonymity because the person was not authorized to discuss the decision publicly. Drew, 55, one of the highest-paid officials at JPMorgan Chase, had offered to resign several times since CEO Jamie Dimon disclosed the trading loss on Thursday, the person said. Pressure built on the bank over the weekend to accept. At least two other executives at the bank will be held accountable for the mistake, the person said. The casualties come as JPMorgan, the largest bank in the United States, seeks to minimize the damage caused by the $2 billion loss. Investors shaved almost 10 percent off JPMorgan’s stock price on Friday. Dimon has said the mistake will complicate the efforts of banks to fight certain regulatory changes three years after the financial crisis.
JPMorgan’s disclosure has led lawmakers and critics of the banking industry to call for stricter regulation of Wall Street. Many post-crisis rules governing risk-taking by banks are still being written. Drew oversaw the division of the bank responsible for the loss. She was paid $15.5 million last year and almost $16 million in 2010, making her one of the highest-paid officials at JPMorgan, according to a regulatory filing. Drew declined comment through a bank spokeswoman. Kristin Lemkau, a spokeswoman for JPMorgan Chase, also declined comment. The Wall Street Journal reported earlier Sunday that Drew and two other executives were expected to resign soon. The Journal also reported that Bruno Iksil, the JPMorgan trader identified as the “London whale” because of the giant bets he placed, was also likely to leave, but the paper reported that it was not clear when that would happen. The surprise loss has been a black eye for the bank and for Dimon, who is known in the industry both as a master of risk management and as an outspoken opponent of some proposed regulation since the crisis.
2012 graduates enter improving job market NEW YORK (AP) — The class of 2012 is leaving college with something that many graduates since the start of the Great Recession have lacked: jobs. To the relief of graduating seniors — and their anxious parents — the outlook is brighter than it has been in four years. Campus job fairs were packed this spring and more companies are hiring. Students aren’t just finding good opportunities, some are weighing multiple offers. In some ways, members of the class of 2012 got lucky. They arrived on campus in September 2008, the same month that Wall Street investment bank Lehman Brothers collapsed, touching off a financial crisis that exacerbated the recession. On campus, they were largely insulated from the collapsing U.S. economy.
While older brothers and sisters graduated into a dismal job market, they took shelter in chemistry, philosophy and literature classes. They used their college years to prepare for the brutal realities of the job market that would await them. They began networking for jobs much earlier, as freshmen in some cases. They pursued summer internships not simply as resume boosters, but as gateways to permanent jobs. And they developed more realistic expectations about landing a job in the ideal place and at the ideal salary. On campuses across the country, spirits are more upbeat this spring, and the employment outlook is especially promising, according to interviews with three dozen seniors and career center directors.

reasonably priced food supply. Within our United States we produce more than 85 percent of what we consume, and therefore experience food, economic, environmental and national security. We are cognizant that cultivators of the Earth are some of our most valuable citizens and in partnership with USDA has evolved into one of the most successful economic enterprises ever established. American agriculture has emerged into a detailed, sophisticated; and both technically and technologically advanced business. For our younger generations, opportunities abound for a career in agriculture and the agribiosciences. USDA recognizes the industry has phenomenal potential to accommodate the needs of an ever-growing world population that is estimated to increase from 7 billion to 9 billion by 2050 (200,000 more people
each day). The development of new technologies, food safety and processing, farm management, renewable sources of energy, as well as addressing environmental and stewardship challenges all hold great promise for our “young minds” to pursue their life’s vocation. USDA will continue its original intent and mission as the “Peoples Department” and the continuance of a modern and efficient service organization that is closely aligned with technological innovations, sound public policy, efficient management and the best available science to appropriately respond to our 21st century agriculture. Our sincere appreciation is extended to Abraham Lincoln — after some 150 years — for his vision, conviction and foresight! The writer is the executive director of Shelby County’s Farm Service Agency.

LETTER
understand that the road to recovery and normalcy can be difficult for those whose lives have been impacted by crime. Prosecutors strive to keep victims notified of future court dates and the status of pending court cases, to accompany victims to court as needed and to refer victims to appropriate community services and resources. Finally, county prosecuting attorneys act as the lawyer for all county offices and township governments. This may not sound very flashy, but it is truly a vital service. This important work involves everything from reviewing legal documents and contracts, to helping collect delinquent taxes, to advising county commissioners on land use and annexations, to defending local officials in lawsuits. Helping local governments run smoothly may not generate headlines — but it does save taxpayer dollars. Beyond their formal
responsibilities, most county prosecuting attorneys are also very active in their local communities, proactively supporting public safety programs that protect the elderly, children and families. It’s not uncommon to find them in schools or senior centers offering useful information on how to keep our neighborhoods safer and free of crime. Many prosecuting attorneys also help children by tracking down delinquent child support payments and holding parents accountable for providing for their children. I did not write this column to urge readers not to enjoy your favorite crime-and-punishment dramas in the popular media. By all means, enjoy! But I do believe it’s important to shed a little light on the daily “reality show” that takes place in the offices of Ohio’s 88 county prosecuting attorneys, who work very hard in the pursuit of justice and safety for all of us.
TO THE EDITOR
Deduction, subsidy not the same thing dustries is intangible drilling costs. The amount of that subsidy would be $0.78 billion per year — enough to fund less than two hours of federal spending in 2011, and not even half the amount we are lending a foreigned-owned and stateowned oil company for drilling offshore in Brazil. Oil companies already pay tax rates of 40-50 percent of income. For one company, Exxon, in one quarter of one year, that amount was more than $8 billion, or almost double the so-called “subsidy” for all oil companies for an entire year. Profit is the amount of money a company has made. Profit margin is the amount of money your company or busi-
ness has earned as a percentage of total revenue. The profit margin for the gas and oil industry is around 6.2 percent. When politicians use the words “subsidies” and “tax deductions” interchangeably, it is a deliberate attempt to mislead Americans. A purposeful, calculated lie. Sen. Brown and President Obama are leftist anti-capitalists who openly advocate government “solutions” and government control. They attack the oil industry and its product because oil is the lifeblood of the American capitalist free-market economy. Oil is the fuel of freedom. Tony Smith 17433 State Route 47 East

Ponding threatens crops Botkins team BY DEBORAH REINHART BROWN, PH.D. Agriculture and Natural Resources Educator OSU Extension, Shelby County Last Wednesday (5/9), I saw my first field of soybeans up (southeastern part of the county)! I think there might have been others, but I could “row” these while stopped at an intersection. (It’s really hard to see them this tiny when passing by at even 30-40 mph!) On Thursday, I saw another field (western area) that I could “row” when driving. Anyway, things are popping!! We’ve gotten some much-needed rain, but now I’m also seeing ponding in fields. This ponding could cause some damage. The extent to which ponding injures crops is determined by several factors, including (1) plant stage of development when ponding occurs, (2) duration of ponding, and (3) air/soil temperatures. Even if ponding doesn’t kill plants outright, it may have a long term
negative impact on crop performance. Excess moisture during the early vegetative stages retards root development. As a result, plants may be subject to greater injury during a dry summer because root systems are not sufficiently developed to access available subsoil water. Ponding can also result in losses of nitrogen through denitrification and leaching. DISEASES: Prior to the six-leaf collar stage (as measured by visible leaf collars) or when the growing point is at or below the soil surface, corn can usually survive only two to four days of flooded conditions. Disease problems that become greater risks due to ponding and cool temperatures include pythium, corn smut, and crazy top. During emergence, soybean fields subjected to flooding and saturated soil conditions are at major risk from Phytophthora and Pythium damping-off. Symptoms caused by these watermolds are light to dark brown, lesions on any part of the root or cotyledon.
WEEDS: This may be a year where the benefits of including residual herbicides in POST corn treatments are substantial, even where herbicides were applied at planting. Corn planted several weeks ago still has a long way to go until crop canopy development, and we are really just starting into the period when most summer annual weeds emerge. The addition of residual herbicides can be especially appropriate when the corn is less than 12 to 14 inches tall at the time of the POST treatment. Residual herbicides are largely not needed in POST applications to corn that is getting close to canopy closure (20 inches or so), with the exception of burcucumber. WHEAT continues to approach and advance through the critical flowgrowth stage ering across the county. Most fields I’ve seen have headed and some have begun flowering. We’ve had showers and thunderstorms in the past week, which favors scab, but temperatures were in the 60s and lower 70s,
causing the risk of scab to continue being low over the next week or so. While these conditions may mean low scab, extended grain fill, and consequently, high grain yield and quality, they also may lead to problems with other diseases such as powdery mildew and Septoria leaf blotch. These diseases have already been reported on the flag leaves in fields with susceptible varieties. INSECTS: According to our counterparts west of here, record numbers of black cutworm moths have descended upon Indiana fields. This pest has the potential to cause significant economic damage to field crops. A round of storms originating in southern states in March brought not only rain to Indiana, but cutworm populations not previously seen. Since that time, scouting traps have been filled. The key to successfully controlling the insect is to scout early and often and to apply insecticides when larvae are small — especially because large larvae are difficult to control.
Jackson Center FFA member competes at state agriscience fair BY LINDSEY WHETSTONE Columbus was flooded with FFA members from all around the state last week to take part in the Ohio FFA Convention. This twoday event provides the opportunity for students, parents and guests to become more involved with the Ohio FFA Association and gives Ohio FFA members the opportunity to exhibit all of their hard work from throughout the year.

ERIN POPPE stands in front of her display at the Ohio FFA Agriscience Fair on May 3. Poppe competed along with approximately 300 other Ohio FFA Students in Columbus. The Jackson Center FFA is proud to recognize Erin Poppe as a competitor in this year’s 84th Ohio FFA Agriscience Fair. More than 300 students from across
the state of Ohio conducted a science research project related to an agricultural field. Competitors constructed a display board and demonstrated their un-
derstanding of the scientific method during an interview. Poppe’s project tested the amount of Vitamin C available in different types of orange juice. “This topic is something I worked with my science teacher, Mrs. Davidson, and my agriculture teacher, Mrs. Whetstone. They helped me gather materials and supplies so that I could perform the experiment,” Poppe said. Congratulations Erin on a Job well done.

Ohioans who register for the promotion will be eligible to win a one-year lease for a new fuel-efficient, diesel-engine Volkswagen Jetta TDI. Entrants must be at least 18 years of age and
legal residents of Ohio. To enter the contest, participants must visit the OSC Facebook page (www.facebook.com/ohio soybeancouncil), “like” the page and enroll. The promotion ends May 27. “OSC is very excited about this promotion and the chance to tell Ohioans about the benefits of biodiesel,” said John Motter, OSC chairman and soybean farmer from Hancock County.
“Biodiesel is a cleanerburning, environmentally friendly fuel and is commonly made from soybeans grown and processed right here in Ohio. That offers significant value to consumers, brings revenue to our local and state economies and reduces our country’s dependence on foreign oil.” Biodiesel is a cleanburning alternative diesel fuel produced from domestic, renew-
able resources such as soybean oil and other agricultural byproducts and waste. Compared to petroleum-based diesel fuel, biodiesel is more environmentally friendly - reducing lifecycle carbon emissions by 57 to 86 percent, which makes it the best carbon reduction tool of any liquid fuel commercially available. It is also the first fuel to meet the EPA standards for “advanced” biofuel.
takes traveling trophy BY LYNDA ADAMS Education Coordinator Shelby Soil & Water Conservation District
Conservation in the county
Five outstanding teens Botkins High from School, with an interest in the environment, placed eighth out of 59 teams competing at the Area IV Envirothon on May 1. The Envirothon was held at Pleasant Vineyard Ministries Camp, near Camden. Botkins High School Team No. 1 also brought home the Shelby County traveling trophy for scoring the highest number of points among the 13 teams competing from Shelby County. The team was coached by Philip Groves. The Envirothon is a team competition designed to stimulate, reinforce and enhance interest in the environment and natural resources. This outdoor team event for high school students offers a unique learning experience. The event tests students’ knowledge of soils, forestry, wildlife, aquatic ecology and current environmental issues. It also is designed to encourage cooperative decision making and team building.

Farmers reduce planting ONEONTA, Ala. (AP) — Some Alabama farmers say they are planting less produce rather than risk having crops rot in the fields a second straight year because of labor shortages linked to the state’s crackdown on illegal immigration. Farmers interviewed by The Associated Press say they had no choice but to reduce acreage. They fear there won’t be enough workers to pick crops at harvest time. The crops are often picked by Hispanic migrants, both legal and illegal. It’s unclear exactly how many farmers are changing their planting patterns this year because of the law.
current environmental issue topic was “Non Point Source Pollution/Low Impact Development.” The Area IV Envirothon is organized by Southwest Ohio Soil and Water Conservation Districts and is sponsored by Honda of America Manufacturing, Cargill and the Area IV Conservation Districts Students from Anna, Botkins, Fairlawn, Fort Loramie, Lehman, Russia and Upper Valley Career Center represented Shelby County at the Area IV Envirothon. The Shelby Soil and Water Conservation District is very proud of the 13 teams that prepared for and participated in the Area IV Envirothon. Please contact Lynda Adams, Education Coordinator for Shelby Soil & Water Conservation District, at 492-6520, ext. 117, for information about the 2013 Envirothon. The 2013 Envirothon will be co-hosted by Shelby and Mercer County Soil and Water Conservation District sand will be held at the Spiritual Retreat Center at Maria Stein.

As stewards of the land, Ohio’s grain growers practice the continual adaptation of conservation measures and understand and respect the need for environmental sustainability. Corn, wheat and soybean farmers have already provided $500,000 toward a three-year research project spearheaded by The Ohio State University as a
symbol of their commitment. As nutrient runoff is further researched, OCWGA and OSA recommend the following: • Farmer-representation presence, specifically grain farmers. • Ongoing education. • Science-based recommendations. • Soil testing. • Adoption of nutrient management plans. • Non-arbitrary tar-

With as much experience as I’m sure you have with teens, I was surprised at your answer. Do you know how traumatic it must have been for this poor girl to have been dumped one week before prom? She probably already had purchased her dress, shoes and jewelry for the occasion, and she also may have made beauty salon appointments for the morning of the big day. For a boy to break up with his girlfriend one week before prom is cruel, heartless and unforgivable. The girl should tell the ex that she has no desire to see him again, whether or not she is with someone else. And she should tell him why. He doesn’t deserve another chance. — Mom, Goshen, Ind.

Sidney Daily News, Monday, May 14, 2012
THEATRE artistic director of Sidney Dance Company echoes these sentiments. “In the early 1990’s we had been doing two to three productions a year. By the 2000’s, we were down to only doing one production. For seven or eight years, we were not even able to produce the ‘Nutcracker Ballet.’ We had done it at Sidney High School, but scheduling during the month of December was so difficult with basketball games and wrestling matches that we stopped doing ‘Nutcracker.’ It wasn’t until 2009 that we were able to do it on the stage at The Historic Sidney Theatre. “That first year at the Theatre was magical,” Eikenberry said. “To watch the dancers’ faces light up the first time they set foot on the stage is something one doesn’t forget. They were illuminated. There is grandness to the space that you don’t feel at the high school. There’s magic that comes from the marquee, lobby, balcony and proscenium opening. It gives them a sense of a professional production and helps them perform better. Even though the floor is still rough, I know they prefer performing at the Theatre. Plus, there’s a greater sense of community among our dancers at the Theatre because they’re together more backstage. The younger ones are able to see the inner workings of the production as it’s happening. They’re learning so much more about the process than they ever could before as they can peer out from the wings and watch set changes. They are able to feel the buzz of the theatre!” “The youth that are a part of these organizations love performing in this space. They understand the sense of history that comes with a building like this. For many, the Theatre being available for use means the opportunity for their passion to grow,” says Mardie Milligan, president of Raise the Roof for the Arts. Ann Allenbaugh, mother to Liz Allenbaugh who is involved in Sock & Buskin Junior Players, says “Liz enjoys being on stage. It's a great outlet for my daughter. She is not involved in sports, so here she gets to sing and dance, and be with other kids who enjoy doing the same thing. I enjoy watching the creative process of it and she looks forward to auditions each year! ‘Dear Edwinna’ is the fourth production in the last three years in which she has been involved!” Anne Grisez, director of the upcoming production of “Dear Edwinna,” believes giving children the opportunity to perform in front of others helps build a great deal of self confidence and can help improve his or her reading and social skills. This in many cases is something that can’t be taught at home or in the classroom — only on stage. For these groups, a renovated Historic Sidney Theatre will mean a truly professional theatre with a state of the art fly system to fly in drops and scenery, new sound equipment, full stage lights, professional curtains for wing space use and an auditorium their audiences will enjoy being in, with all the amenities of comfort including accessible restrooms, comfortable seating and climate

controlled temperatures. All of that leads to expanded performance opportunities. Both Sock and Buskin and Sidney Dance Company have already indicated that they will be adding productions to their schedule in the coming year, even prior to renovations. “It’s important to know that the Theatre is continuously being improved,” said Eikenberry. “People have dedicated their time and resources to make small improvements in the meantime and it really makes a big difference! That work shouldn’t go unnoticed.” Eikenberry added, “As a community with so many arts organizations, having a venue like this in which to perform is amazing. The arts bring a high quality to community. Without them, the definitely community suffers. Having this venue will only increase what all of these organizations can do, which in turn educates and gives back to community.” Shelby County is thriving with local arts groups. They perform in churches, schools and outdoor venues as available. Raise the Roof for the Arts (RTR) believes that renovating The Historic Sidney Theatre would provide these groups with a real performance venue and would be a great community asset for a variety of uses. “We believe there is a strong need for this type of facility in Sidney and Shelby County,” said Mardie Milligan, RTR board president. “Already Sock & Buskin
Page 11A
and Sidney Dance Company are using the facility in its current condition. In 2011 we had 5 productions with 13 performances, around 100 rehearsal days, more than 200 artists served with an estimated 4,800 in audience attendees. These numbers will likely increase once the facility has been renovated.” As a member of the League of Historic American Theatres, RTR has networked with a number of other theatres of comparable size to The Historic Sidney Theatre to learn of their programming and facility uses. Historic theatres around the country often promote events such as concerts, musicals, plays, comedians, illusionists and more. Other uses include private rentals, corporate meetings and training, private parties and more. “There has been great interest by many to rent the facility for weddings and private parties and while we aren’t currently able to accommodate for these types of events, we do anticipate the theatre to be available for private rentals post-renovation,” said Milligan. Raise the Roof for the Arts is a 501(c)3 charitable non-profit whose mission is to “renovate and operate The Historic Sidney Theatre for cultural, artistic and educational purposes for the benefit of the Shelby County Community.” For more information on the organization or The Historic Sidney Theatre renovation project, email sidneytheatre@roadrunner.com.

She taught English at the university level for two years in Japan and for one year in Korea before joining Samsung in Korea as a language trainer, a position she held for seven years. “I fell in love with Korea when I was there for a month for a friend’s wedding,” Norris said. For Samsung, she taught business English and presentation skills. “That’s where I got to experience curriculum development,” she said. As the 4-H educator here, Norris will be responsible for developing curricula for projects throughout the county. Her first goal is to maintain a successful camp in June and the Shelby County Fair in July. Then, she said, she’ll be able to step back a little, catch her breath and consider what new initiatives might look like. Norris was selected by a panel of local and Ohio State University reviewers. “She’s coming with lots of new ideas, lots of cre-
dentials. She comes to this position with management and 4-H experience,” wrote Dr. Stephen E. Wright, West Region director and associate department chairman of Ohio State University Extension, in Columbus, in an email last month. Her $46,608 salary will be paid partially by Shelby County funds and partially by Ohio State funds, as will the $60,708 salary of her office mate, Dr. Deborah Brown, who was hired as the Shelby County agriculture and natural resources educator in April. Norris replaces Pam Leong, who retired, and Racie Zimpfer, who was apparently fired. Shelby County will pay $25,000 of Norris’s salary and $38,200 of Brown’s. “I never wanted to be an educator,” Norris said. “But when you meet certain people, you feel their passion and the calling. Teaching strategies are the same” whether the teaching is in Japanese or Korean or English,
whether the students are adults or youngsters, whether the subject is business presentation or animal husbandry. It was a desire to combine education, agriculture and wildlife biology into one job that brought Norris back to the states in 2010 and focused her job search on university extension programs this spring. She admits to missing Korean food, especially a fermented bean paste soup and fermented spicy cabbage. But it’s nice to home. And she hopes to bring some stability to her position at the extension office. “I really wanted to come back to Ohio. I’m really here for the long haul. People here are passionate about 4-H. That creates an opportunity to do new things. I’m looking to put down roots. I hope, in looking at the Cloverbuds (the youngest 4-H participants), I want to see them through the whole program, to when they go to college,” she said.
Ohio casinos will hurt Detroit’s budget DETROIT (AP) — Detroit’s hard-pressed treasury can expect to take another hit as Ohio opens four casinos that’ll be in direct competition with three in the Motor City, according to a consulting company. The treasury stands to lose up to $30 million in annual casino tax revenue by 2015 as some gamblers switch to the neighboring state’s casinos, says a report from the global management company McKinsey & Co. Detroit already has low-
ered casino revenue estimates for the coming fiscal year. The city has a $265 million budget deficit, $13.2 billion in long-term structural debt and is operating under a consent agreement with the state as an alternative to being taken over by an emergency financial manager. The Horseshoe Casino in Cleveland opens Monday, and the Hollywood Casino in Toledo opens May 29. Casinos in Columbus and Cincinnati will follow.
About $177 million of Detroit’s $1.2 billion general fund budget in the last fiscal year came from taxes on the MGM Grand Detroit, MotorCity and Greektown casinos, which get 80 percent of their revenue from people living within 150 miles. “Detroit’s casinos will no longer be the obvious gaming choice for daytrippers,” the McKinsey report said, singling out Toledo’s casino as particularly detrimental to Detroit’s gambling revenue.

tic disease, not only are the kidneys a target, so is the liver. Liver function, however, usually is well-preserved. In the kidneys, the cysts enlarge as time goes by. Large cysts interfere with kidney function. By age 70, 60 percent of PKD patients will suffer kidney failure, some at younger ages. Not only does kidney function suffer, but blood pressure rises and adds to the problem. Most PKD patients have no indications of the illness until they reach their 40s. Bloody urine, a rise in blood pressure, abdominal discomfort from kidney enlargement and flank pain are some of the identifying signs of the illness. PKD isn’t curable; it is treatable. Dial-
ysis is one treatment. Kidney transplantation is another. Now that I think of it, transplantation is a cure. Everyone with PKD should get in touch with the Polycystic Kidney Foundation, which is ready to help with the latest information.

CLEVELAND INDIANS' Justin Masterson, right, who played at Beavercreek, looks on as Boston Red Sox's Will Middlebrooks, left, rounds the bases toward home after hitting a home run.
Tribe’s slide continues BOSTON (AP) — Cleveland pitcher Justin Masterson’s sinker wouldn’t sink or go where he wanted it to. Masterson’s control problems led to a quick 4-0 deficit and his teammates continued to struggle at the plate in a 12-1 loss to the Boston Red Sox on Sunday. “You never want to put your boys in that type of hole,” Masterson said after allowing six runs on seven hits over six innings. Masterson also hit three batters as the Indians lost their third straight and for the fifth time in six games. Cleveland scored one run for the second straight game and fell to 1-3 on a six-game road trip that started with an 8-3 win at Boston on Thursday night. “The last couple of days, it hasn’t been very good,” manager Manny Acta said. “We haven’t been able to execute and pick up some of those cheap RBIs. That’s the way our offense works. We can’t afford that.” Not the way Boson was hitting Sunday. Jarrod Saltalamacchia homered during a six-run seventh inning and drove in five runs and rookie Will Middlebrooks hit his fourth homer for the Red Sox, who have rebounded from a 1-8 skid with three straight wins. Daniel Bard (3-4) survived some early control problems and held the Indians to one run despite walking four and allowing six hits over six innings. Masterson (1-2) also had control issues, falling behind 4-0 while facing all nine Boston batters in the first inning. He lasted six innings, allowed six runs on seven hits and hit three batters. “He struggled with his command, especially against lefthanded hitters,” Acta said. “When he does that he gets in trouble.” Daniel Nava was 2-for-2 with three RBIs and three runs scored. Adrian Gonzalez doubled twice and Saltalamacchia finished 3-for-4 as the Red Sox had 12 hits against the Indians, who lost their third straight and for the fifth time in six games. The Red Sox held Cleveland to one run for the second straight game and needed just 2 1-2 hours to dispatch the Indians, the same amount of time it took in a 4-1 win Saturday night. Dustin Pedroia extended his hitting streak to 14 with leadoff double in the seventh
CINCINNATI (AP) — Joey Votto hit a grand slam in the ninth inning for his third home run of the game, rallying the Cincinnati Reds to a rain-delayed 9-6 victory over the Washington Nationals on Sunday. Votto hit solo homers in his first two at-bats and finished a big day with his second career slam with two outs in the ninth. Washington came into the game with only 15 homers allowed all season, fewest in the majors. Votto broke out of his power drought and helped the Reds avoid a sweep with three perfect swings. The last one came against struggling closer Henry Rodriguez (1-3), who had trouble with his control on the wet mound. Rodriguez walked two batters to load the bases with two outs, then left a 2-2 pitch up and over the plate to Votto. The 2010 NL MVP hadn’t homered since April 30 and had only two coming into the game. He finished with a career-high six RBIs and the second threehomer game of his career. Sean Marshall (1-2) got the win at the end of a long day. The start was delayed 3 hours, 36 minutes by rain, which fell throughout the 3hour, 45-minute game.

CINCINNATI REDS' Joey Votto (19) is mobbed at the plate after hitting a grand slam off Washington Nationals relief pitcher Henry Rodriguez in the ninth inning of a baseball game Sunday in Cincinnati. A few thousand fans were left to see Cincinnati’s first game-ending grand slam since Adam Dunn connected off Cleveland’s Bob Wickman on June 30, 2006. Ahead 6-3, the Nationals couldn’t close out what would have been their first threegame sweep of the season. The Reds got two runs in the eighth when rookie right fielder Bryce Harper lost Jay
Bruce’s two-out fly ball in the lights, letting it fall way behind him for a double. Washington lost despite getting 16 hits on a wet, raw day. The Nationals completed a painful one-week trip. Right fielder Jayson Werth had surgery on his broken left wrist Monday, and Harper needed 10 stitches for a self-inflicted gash above his left eye on Friday after he hurt himself
slamming a bat against a wall near the dugout. Catcher Wilson Ramos tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee while chasing a passed ball Saturday night. Despite sending 11 players to the disabled list already this season, the Nationals had managed to stay atop the NL East because of their pitching staff, which leads the majors. For one of the few times, it let them down, and Washington dropped into second place behind Atlanta. Neither starter was particularly effective after the long wait on a chilling, 62-degree afternoon. A postponement would have forced the Nationals to return on a day off to make it up. NOTES: The Nationals headed out for a seven-game homestand, including two games each against San Diego and Pittsburgh and three against Baltimore. The Reds left for an unusual seven-game trip: Atlanta for two games, then on to New York for two against the Mets and three against the Yankees. ... Reds 3B Mike Costanzo, called up to replace injured Scott Rolen, made his big league debut as a pinch-hitter in the fifth and hit a sacrifice fly on the first pitch.

TEAM OWNER Rick Hendrick, left, and Jimmie Johnson celebrate Hendrick Motorsports' 200th NASCAR victory after Johnson won the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series auto race at Darlington Raceway, Saturday in Darlington, S.C.
Johnson gives Hendricks 200th Sprint Cup win DARLINGTON, S.C. (AP) — Rick Hendrick only got to watch the last 100 miles of the Southern 500. Turns out he saw the best part. Jimmie Johnson broke free on a restart three laps from the end Saturday night to give Hendrick Motorsports its 200th Sprint Cup victory. Hendrick drivers had gone 16 races since Johnson won No. 199 at Kansas in October. The car owner was in the North Carolina mountains attending a wedding and couldn’t get to Darlington Raceway until the final stretch. That’s when he watched Johnson overcome fuel and tire concerns to power past Tony Stewart and Denny Hamlin on the final restart. When it was over, Hendrick was hugged by everyone nearby, and Johnson ran the car up to the inside wall as his team members pounded the No. 48 Chevy in celebration. “I feel very, very fortunate to go along on this ride,” Hendrick said. Johnson presented his owner with a helmet signed by the 15 drivers who ran for Hendrick since he began his operation. “Thanks, buddy,” the owner said. “This will definitely be the centerpiece of the mancave.” Johnson looked vulnerable down the stretch with Stewart and Kyle Busch right behind and ready to pounce after Kurt Busch and Ryan Newman spun out with six laps left. But Stewart had trouble once the green flag dropped and Johnson flew into the lead and cruised to his first victory since Kansas last October, breaking the winless drought for the five-time NASCAR champion and the Hendrick team. Denny Hamlin was second, followed by Stewart and Kyle Busch. Danica Patrick lasted until the end of her second Sprint Cup race, finishing six laps behind Johnson in 31st. Johnson led 134 of the 368 laps, including the final 44. It was Johnson’s third Darlington win, but first since he swept the 2004 events at the track ‚Äî the last season “The Lady in Black” had two Sprint Cup races. Hendrick won his first race as an owner at Martinsville in 1984, Geoff Bodine driving to victory
No. 1. Johnson took his 56th NASCAR win as a Hendrick driver, second only to teammate Jeff Gordon’s 85 victories. This was the place where fireworks took place a year ago when Kevin Harvick went after Kyle Busch for a late wreck. This time, it involved crew members for Kurt Busch and Newman scrumming after the race. Martin Truex Jr. was fifth, followed by Matt Kenseth, Carl Edwards, Kasey Kahne, Marcos and Joey Ambrose Logano — the Nationwide winner Friday night. Series points leader Greg Biffle won the pole and led 74 laps, second only Johnson, yet ended in 12th. His series lead narrowed to two points over Kenseth. The race began with longest stretch of green flag racing from the start with 171 laps since NASCAR began releasing such information, a run which helped speed up a race that’s often slogged through doubledigit cautions. Biffle, the pole-sitter, and five-time Sprint Cup champion Johnson, each had long runs and built big leads. Biffle led 74 of the first 98 laps before Johnson took control for 72 straight laps until the race’s first stoppage for debris. When the cautions began, they didn’t stop — and played havoc with strategy the rest of the way. Johnson chose to stay out during a caution period 60 laps from the end, leaving him three laps short on fuel. When AJ Allmendinger and Jamie McMurray tied up a few moments later for another stoppage, Johnson had no choice but to remain on the track instead of surrendering track position to top off his tank. At still another caution a few laps later when Reed Sorenson slid through turn four, Kyle Busch dove low as if he were about to pit but returned to his spot before the commitment line. The final shootout came after Kurt Busch hit the wall and he and Newman spun out with six laps left. Stewart, who earlier dealt with a broken clutch, said there was nothing there when he stepped on the gas and was glad to hold onto third. “It’s why we won a championship. We never give up,” he said.

The Bookshelf Cleaning Up Litter author: Charlotte Guillain Litterbug Doug author: Ellie Bethel Michael Recycles Meets Litterbug Doug author: Ellie Bethel
Write On! Have you ever littered? Have you ever seen anyone litter? What do you think happens to the litter? Do you know how long it take something to decompose?
NIE Coordinator: Dana Wolfe / Graphic Designer: Scarlett E. Smith
Let’s start cleaning up America! sponsored by Miami County SED WHEN IT COMES TO CIGARETTE BUTT LITTER, WE ALL PAY Residents and businesses “pick up” the tab. Cigarette butt litter has to be cleaned up. This requires additional sidewalk and street sweeping, greenway and park maintenance, storm drain cleaning, and increased maintenance of storm water filters. And business owners bear the expense of cigarette butt litter cleanup around entrances, exits, sidewalks, and parking lots. Community quality-of-life suffers. Not paying attention to quality-of-life issues can result in a decline in a city’s foot traffic, tourism, business development, and housing. In fact, the presence of litter in a community decreases property values by a little more than 7 percent. Focusing on small improvements, like reducing cigarette butt litter, creates safer and more economically vibrant communities. Recreation areas become less attractive. Tobacco litter represents nearly 32 percent of all litter in outdoor recreation areas. Cigarette butt litter on beaches and waterfronts, at ball fields and parks, picnic areas and hiking trails decreases the appeal of these natural escapes. It also creates fire hazards, impacts local wildlife, and eventually contributes to lost tourism and revenue. CIGARETTE LITTER AND THE ENVIRONMENT A cigarette butt dropped to the ground seems insignificant. But follow that butt as it’s carried off by rain into storm drains and eventually to streams and rivers. It now adds up to a big impact on the places we live: In fact, 32 percent of litter at storm drains is tobacco products. Cigarette butt litter creates blight. It accumulates in gutters, and outside doorways and bus shelters. It’s the number one most littered item anywhere.
Increasing amounts of litter in a business district, along riverfronts, or recreation areas create a sense that no one cares, leading to more community disorder and crime. Cigarette butts don’t disappear. About 95 percent of cigarette filters are composed of cellulose acetate, a form of plastic which does not quickly degrade and can persist in the environment. Filters are harmful to waterways and wildlife. About 18 percent of litter, traveling primarily through storm water systems, ends up in local streams, rivers, and waterways. Nearly 80 percent of marine debris comes from land-based sources. Cigarette butt litter can also pose a hazard to animals and marine life when they mistake filters for food. CIGARETTE LITTER MISCONCEPTIONS Only 10 percent of cigarette butts are properly deposited in ash receptacles – the least likely item to be placed in a receptacle. WHY DO MANY SMOKERS LITTER? Smokers discount the impact. A 2008 survey of over 1,000 smokers found that 35 percent toss five or more cigarette butts per pack on the ground. Because a cigarette butt is small, smokers tend to overlook the consequences of littering. Cigarette litter research in Australia found that many smokers: • Don’t believe littering their cigarette butts is inappropriate behavior. Some believe they’re acting responsibly by dropping cigarettes to the ground and stepping on them to extinguish them. • Consider dropping butts into gutters or storm drains a safe way to extinguish a cigarette. • Blame their littering on a lack of well-placed bins for cigarette butts. Over 80 percent of smokers said they would proper-
ly dispose of their butts if suitable bins were available. Too few ash receptacles. One of the strongest predictors of cigarette butt littering is the number of available ash receptacles, either as stand-alone or integrated into a trash can. For every additional ash receptacle, the littering rate for cigarette butts decreases 9 percent. Unfortunately, only 47 percent of observed sites have an ash or ash/trash receptacle. Litter and cigarette butts are already on the ground. Smokers are more likely to litter if the environment contains any type of litter, not just cigarette butts. In fact, 77 percent of individuals in an intercept survey report that they thought cigarette
butts were litter, but litter already on the ground is a strong predictor of cigarette butt littering. Most cigarette littering happens at “transition points.” Tobacco products comprise 30 percent of litter at transition points. These are areas where a smoker must extinguish a cigarette before proceeding, such as outside retail stores, hotels, office buildings, before entering beaches, parks or other recreation areas, and at roadside rest areas, parking lots, bus shelters, and train platforms. Messages about cigarette butt litter and ash receptacles at transition points are an important catalyst for changing behavior.

The Ghost in the Courthouse Statue Written by Bill Bailey Illustrated by Michelle Duckworth Chapter 7 Talking turnip save the day STORY SO FAR: Jake, the new editor, has a unique approach to running the local newspaper. After carving a scary face on a turnip, he runs a photo of it on the front page. Then, he tries to sell papers on the courthouse square, shouting about the Great Cosmic Turnip. The townspeople mock him and turn away. To help Jake save face, Donnie turns to the statue of Felix LaBauve and asks for help from the ghost he believes is inside it. Suddenly, the turnip rises into the air. The monster-faced turnip continued to rise. As it rose, the angry eyes Jake had carved into it seemed to come alive. High overhead, the turnip stopped and hovered, glaring down at the crowd. Then, its lips began to speak – with a French accent. "I am ze Great Cosmic Turnip. Fortune teller extraordinaire. Woe to ze crooked public officials of Jefferson. You have found a deep pocket, and you're living out of eet, with your kick-me-backs and bribes. Woe and double-woe unto you!" With that, the turnip's lips stopped moving, and its eyes closed. It fell to the ground, landing with a thud, the strange force leaving as quickly as it came. The crowd, who had been stunned into silence, burst into loud, confused talking. People began scattering across the courthouse lawn. Jake sprang into motion. "Extra! Extra! Read all about it! Talking turnip calls out crooks! Right here in Jefferson!" The crowd surged back toward Jake and began buying papers from him in a wild fury, elbowing each other to get theirs first. At the end of the madness, Jake stood triumphantly, the bundles of papers all gone, a mountain of quarters piled on the table beside him. He had completely sold out. I turned and stared at Felix's statue like, well ... like I'd seen a ghost. It had the slyest grin you ever saw. The next day Jake called a meeting at The Times office. "Okay," he said, searching our faces. "I wanna know who did it and how." Silence. "Look guys, as they say, I didn't fall off a turnip truck. Never even rode on one. But if I ever did, the turnips wouldn't be talking." He paused, then said, "Because turnips don't talk!" There was another long pause as he looked from Mrs. Buntin to Irene... to Mom... to Humpty and me. No one said a word. "And they don't fly either." He examined each of us for a clue. "I want to express my appreciation to whoever did this." He opened his wallet and pulled out a huge wad of bills. He dramatically peeled off a $100 bill. "With this." Still, no response. He pulled out a second $100 bill, dangling it beside the first. "Two hundred dollars. That's as high as I go."
To my amazement, Humpty floated up out of my lap. I grabbed for him, but he was too quick, scooting out of reach, suspended there, mid-air. "Make eet $300, and we have a deal, monsieur," Humpty said. It was the exact accent and voice the turnip had used. Everyone was speechless. Humpty continued, "My levitation and ventriloquism technique ees good. No?" "No, it isn't," said Jake, talking to me, not Humpty. "It's incredible!" I turned to Mom, "Mom, I didn't –" "Donnie, your first bit with the string," Jake said. "That was pretty lame. But what you did next... wow! You gotta tell me how you're doing this stuff." "A magician never reveals ze tricks of ze trade," said Humpty, dancing on air. "You must practice a lot, kid," Jake said. "Oui, oui. Practice makes perfect," Humpty said. Not even glancing at the puppet, Jake kept his eyes on me. "Your lips aren't moving." "Why should his lips move, when eet ees me who ees talking?" asked Humpty. With that, Jake high-fived me with the $200. "Donnie, you da man!" Humpty swooped down on our raised high-fives, snatching the money. He extended his other hand. "I think ze final figure was $300." Jake laughed, peeling off another $100 and giving it to me. "You drive a hard bargain, kid." "Eet wasn't ze kid," Humpty said. "I did eet all by myself. No yolk." Then Humpty plopped down in my lap, handing me the $200 to go with my $100. "That's what I call talent!" Jake said. "Most amazing thing I ever saw." "I'm starting to think you're a deviled egg," I said to Humpty. "What a kidder," Jake laughed, clapping me on the shoulder. "And what a kid." "I don't know what's going on,"
NIE Coordinator: Dana Wolfe / Graphic Designer: Scarlett E. Smith
Mom said. "But this isn't journalism." "Sure it is," said Jake. "Donnie's my new assistant editor." What? I couldn't believe my ears. Just when I thought things couldn't get any better, Jake was giving me a big, important job with the paper. Assistant editor! Wait till the guys at school heard about this. They wouldn't be making fun of me now. "Wow – thanks, Jake!" I said. "No problem, kid. You earned it," he said. Looking up at me, Humpty said, "Now that you have ze job, you're on your own." "Whoa, whoa, you can't leave me now." I whispered. "I'll admit, I had my doubts before, but now I know. You really do exist... Felix!" "Oui, my boy. I egg-zist," he said. "You see, I know how to make ze funny, too." With sudden panic, it hit me how clueless I was about my new job. Jake thought I had caused Humpty and the turnip to talk and float through the air. I knew he would expect more crazy stunts like these. Without Felix's help, I couldn't possibly do them. Just then the doorbell rang, and Ed Price, who always had to know everything
going on in town, rushed in. He placed a quarter on the counter and picked up a newspaper. "I gotta read about this talkin' turnip everyone's kicking up such a ruckus about." He turned toward us with a knowing look. "And I've got a hunch just how it happened." "You do?" asked Jake. "Yep," he said. "The strange voice inside that flyin' turnip is a dead giveaway. It came from another planet." "I didn't know they had turnips on other planets," I offered. "I've been reading a blog about unexplained phenomena like this," Mr. Price said. "Space aliens could've put a force inside that turnip to test us and to see how we'd react. That way, they'd know what to expect when they pay us a visit in person." "You don't say," said Jake. I could almost see the gears in his brain turning. "A space alien, hunh? Right here in Jefferson." When Mr. Price left, Jake turned to me, his eyes electric with excitement. "We're on a roll, now. Assistant editor, it's time for you to suit up." "I don't own a suit," I said. "I'll get you one that'll fit just right," he said. The next day I stood on the courthouse lawn in a silver, satiny costume with antennae coming out of the top of a space alien Halloween mask. I peered at the gawking crowd and thought to myself... so this is what an assistant editor does!
