TODAY’S THOUGHT “Every moment one lives is different from the other. The good, the bad, hardship, the joy, the tragedy, love, and happiness are all interwoven into one single, indescribable whole that is called life. You cannot separate the good from the bad. And perhaps there is no need to do so, either.” — Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis (1929-1994). For more on today in history, turn to Page 12A.

BY MELANIE SPEICHER mspeicher@sdnccg.com With the roar of motorcycles leading the way, two charter buses filled with World War II and Korean War veterans left the Shelby County Fairgrounds Friday morning en route to Washington, D.C. The veterans — each of them an American hero — will be visiting the memorials, which were built in their honor to remind everyone the sacrifices these men and women have made for their country. “This is an excellent morning,” said Mike Bennett, Shelby County Vets to D.C. chairman, during the send-off at the fairgrounds. “The sun is shining and the birds are singing.” The trip nearly turned to tragedy when, as the two buses neared their destina-

Ohio unemployment down COLUMBUS (AP) — Ohio’s unemployment rate has dropped for the ninth month in a row, a trend that continues to place the state below the national rate, officials said Friday. The Ohio Department of Job and Family Services said that seasonally adjusted joblessness inched downward from 7.5 percent in March to 7.4 percent in April, while the state’s non-farm payrolls shrank by 3,400.

The state’s unemployment rate continues to remain below the national rate, which was 8.1 percent in April. That’s down from 8.2 percent in March. The number of unemployed workers in Ohio decreased by 7,000 in April to 431,000, down from 438,000 in March. That means over the past year, the number of unemployed Ohio workers dropped by 79,000, from a starting total of 510,000.

GOP disconnect on state of economy

Department spokesman Ben Johnson said the state’s unemployment rate, which is determined by data collected through a household survey and employer payroll survey, did not see a lot of movement in April. But he hopes Ohioans will look at the BY BOB LEWIS state’s economic growth over Associated Press the past several months. “Hopefully by stepping DANVILLE, Va.

Wayne Trail Technologies under new ownership BY JENNIFER BUMGARNER jbumgarner@sdnccg.com FORT LORAMIE — Wayne Trail Technologies in Fort Loramie was recently acquired by Cleveland-based Lincoln Electric Holdings, Inc. The deal was announced on Thursday but terms of the deal were not released. According to Bob Lewinski, vice president of marketing at Wayne Trail Technologies, things will remain “business as usual.” “This will give us more opportunities to grow our markets with a lot of synergy between their core businesses and ours,” said Lewinski. “It will give us more capabilities on a global basis and a better opportunity for growth.” According to Lewinski, the management structure will remain unchanged, employees will remain and opportunities will continue to be pursued. The change in ownership was prompted by a need to grow. “We think that this secures us a leading position in the

Board discusses candidate, audits March primary The Shelby County Board of Elections met recently and discussed the filing of a nonpartisan candidate and also held an audit of the Shelby County primary election held in March. Board of Elections Director Dawn Billing presented the petition of Thomas Kerrigan II to board members for approval. Kerrigan is running as an independent candidate for Shelby County prosecutor. Billing told board members that Kerrigan’s petition was reviewed by the elections board staff and found to be in order. The number of signatures required for a nonpartisan petition is based on 1 percent of the total votes cast in the last gubernatorial race. That total numbered 17,846, which required that Kerrigan obtain 178 valid signatures on his petition. He had 226 valid signatures. All information on the petition was reviewed and no fatal errors were found. Billing told board members that Kerrigan did not vote in the 2012 primary election, making him nonpartisan by elections board record. Kerrigan’s petition was approved by the board. Chairman Chris Gibbs told board members that the elections board staff confirmed that all candidates who filed for partisan offices voted as a member of the party for which they filed. The board conducted an audit of the Shelby County primary election. Board members decided not to participate in the audit, but served as observers during the process. It was determined by procedure that a count needed to include at least 5 percent of the total number of voters who voted, which was 8,486 voters, or 424 votes. The audit was conducted in single precincts instead of voting locations with multiple precincts. All eligible precinct names were put on uniform pieces of paper and placed in a clear plastic container. The precincts that were selected included Franklin Precinct 20, where there were 357 votes cast, and Green Precinct 21, where there were 199 votes cast, for a total of 556 votes. Those precincts combined exceeded the required 5 percent, so no additional precincts were chosen. The audit teams included team one with Jerry Doerger, a Republican, and Trina Riethman, Democrat, who were assigned Precinct 21, and team two included Rick Hageman, Republican, and Mike Puckett, Democrat,

who were assigned Precinct 20. The chain of custody for each precinct was reviewed, approved and documented. The Ohio Secretary of State’s Directive required that the audit be conducted on the presidential, Ohio Supreme Court race and a local race where the number of candidates exceeds the number of positions to be elected. In the case of Shelby County, that would include the Republican race for Shelby County prosecutor or the Republican race for Shelby County commissioner. The board chose the commissioner’s race to be audited. The ballots were separated by candidate and the number of ballots cast for each candidate was counted. After the counts were completed, it was determined that there were no discrepancies in either precinct. The board discussed the requirement from the Ohio secretary of state to upgrade the elections board voter registration server. In order to upgrade the server, it will be necessary for the board to install new software. The current server cannot run the new version of the required program, Oracle version 11g. Shelby County Engineer Bob Geuy gave a presentation to the board on a possible solution for upgrading the VR server software by integrating the elections board’s VR server into a Shelby County server. That hardware currently exists in an environmentally controlled room in the city building. The elections board’s server would be administered through a contractual agreement between the Shelby County Commissioners and the city of Sidney by the city’s IT department. The Shelby County Sheriff ’s Office, the Shelby County Auditor’s Office and the Shelby County Juvenile Court records are currently on that system. There would be no cost to the board by converting the election board’s VR server by using the city’s program. Joel Glass, IT director for the city of Sidney, was present and board members asked what the cost would be to replace the current server with a comparable system. Glass said the cost would be somewhere between $6,000 and $8,000. Under the proposed agreement, the city’s IT staff would be responsible for backup of the tape every evening and would store the tape in the city’s vault. Backup tapes would eventually be moved to a local bank vault. The board voted to approve the proposal.

Woman stabbed, runs over Newborn dies attacker’s daughter, both die after attack by family dog BY THOMAS J. SHEERAN Associated Press

CLEVELAND (AP) — A woman allegedly stabbed by her best friend during an argument while sitting behind the wheel of a car tried to drive away and struck her attacker’s 2year-old daughter, authorities said Friday. The woman and the girl both died. The toddler's mother, Kimberly Black, 29, of Cleveland, was found naked several blocks away and was arrested. The death of Sharice Swain, 29, of Cleveland, was being investigated as a homicide. Police identified the other victim as Kimshia Ruffin. Her 1-year-old sibling, Taraji Ruffin, also was struck, but the injuries apparently were not lifethreatening. During the argument Thursday night, Black left the vehicle, went into her house and returned with a knife, according to police, and stabbed Swain in the face and neck. According to police spokesman Sgt. Sammy Morris, Swain then stepped on the gas pedal and hit the two children. The car also struck a house, collapsing the roof of the porch. The nature of the argument involving Black and Swain wasn't disclosed, and it wasn't clear if Swain hit the children intentionally or accidentally. The women were “best friends since birth,” and Swain considered

THIS HOME on East 125th Street in Cleveland that Sharice Swain crashed into sits damaged Friday. Swain, 29, was stabbed during an argument while sitting behind the wheel of a car Thursday night. She tried to drive away and struck her attacker’s 2-year-old daughter before crashing into the house. Swain and the girl both died, and the toddler’s mother was found naked several blocks away and was arrested. Black a cousin, according to the victim’s mother, Anita Swain. Anita Swain said her daughter did not have any children and was employed as a factory worker. She said she didn’t know what started the argument and declined to comment further. Nikki Randall, 30, whose daughter goes to school with the suspect’s 6-year-old daughter, said neighbors who went to the aid of Sharice Swain think Black was the intended target of the revving vehicle. “It was on purpose,” Randall said. “She was actually trying to hit the momma.” According to Randall, the naked Black was holding her two injured

toddlers after they were struck and dropped Kimshia. Randall said she picked up the bloodied Kimshia and cradled her in her arms until firefighters arrived and took over. “She was bleeding out of everywhere,” Randall said. “As soon as I handed her to the paramedic, she went limp.” Black apparently had taken off her clothes after the stabbing, authorities said. She was treated for a hand injury at MetroHealth Medical Center and then was arrested and locked up pending possible charges. According to court records, Swain pleaded guilty to aggravated assault in 2005 and to permitting drug abuse in

2007. Both times she was placed on probation. Down the block from the stabbing, Julius Jackson shook his head in disbelief over the attack and subsequent accident as he watered his newly planted vegetable garden. “Oh, man, it’s shocking to me,” said Jackson, who said he keeps to himself in a neighborhood where people frequently move in and out. The arrest occurred in an impoverished neighborhood a half block away from the location of the now-demolished house where the remains of 11 murdered women were found in 2009. The killer, Anthony Sowell, is appealing his murder conviction and death sentence.

LIMA (AP) — A 3day-old infant died hours after she was attacked by a family dog while sitting in a swing at her grandmother’s home in northwest Ohio, a sheriff ’s deputy said Friday. The baby girl, Makayla Darnell, suffered a head injury at the home near Beaverdam in northern Allen County at about 6:30 p.m. Thursday, said Chief Deputy Jim Everett of the Allen County Sheriff ’s Office in Lima. The grandmother, Janette Myers, 44, of Monroe Township, told investigators that the baby’s mother had put the infant in a swing while she prepared to feed her, Everett said. The mother, Audrianna Myers, 22, also of Monroe Township, and the grandmother apparently were in the kitchen when they heard a whimper from the infant, according to the deputy. The two women would only have been a few feet away from the child who apparently was in the living room near the doorway to the kitchen, Everett said. They took the baby to a nearby hospital, and she was then flown to a hospital in Toledo, where she died at about 11 p.m. The women could not be reached for comment Friday. Their phone numbers were not immediately available.

Lucas County Deputy Coroner Dr. Cynthia Beisser said Friday that an autopsy showed that the infant died from blunt force injury to the head. She said the injury was “consistent with the story I was told of a dog biting down on the head.” The dog is in the custody of the Allen County dog warden while the investigation continues. Dog Warden Julie Shellhammer said she could not say whether the dog is a purebred pit bull, but says it is at least a pit bull mix. The dog is a male, about 4 years old, Shellhammer said. Pit bulls will no longer be labeled as “vicious” dogs under a bill scheduled to become Ohio law next week. The bill signed by Gov. John Kasich in February changes current law that defines a vicious dog as one that has seriously hurt or killed a person, killed another dog or is among those commonly known as pit bulls. The new measure removes the reference to pit bulls from the definition and requires evidence to prove pit bulls are actually vicious. Some dog wardens have opposed the measure because of frequent pit bull attacks. Others have said pit bulls are not inherently vicious. ——— Information from: The Blade, http://www.toledoblade.com/

NATION/WORLD BRIEFLY

Barely a ‘like’ NEW YORK (AP) — It was barely a “like” and definitely not a “love” from Facebook investors as the online social network’s stock failed to live up to the hype in its trading debut Friday. One of the most anticipated IPOs in Wall Street history ended on a flat note, with Facebook’s stock closing at $38.23, up 23 cents from Thursday night’s pricing. That meant the company founded in 2004 in a Harvard dorm room has a market value of about $105 billion, more than Amazon.com, McDonald’s and Silicon Valley icons Hewlett-Packard and Cisco. It also gave 28-year-old CEO Mark Zuckerberg a stake worth $19,252,698,725.50.

President sticks to timetable WASHINGTON (AP) — In his first visit to the Oval Office, French President Francois Hollande declared he will withdraw all French combat troops from Afghanistan by year’s end, making clear to President Barack Obama the timeline for ending the U.S.-led war will not trump a campaign pledge that helped Hollande gain his new job. Obama nodded along on Friday, knowing what was coming, but did not otherwise directly respond. Heading into a NATO summit on the course of the war and beyond, the White House has sought to emphasize the war coalition will remain firm even as nations pull back. And Hollande assured Obama that France was not out to cut and run. “We will continue to support Afghanistan in a different way. Our support will take a different format,” Hollande said. “I’m pretty sure I will find the right means so that our allies can continue with their mission and at the same time I can comply to the promise I made to the French people.” France’s declaration has significance far beyond its borders. Hollande’s move means France, one of the top contributors of troops to the war, will be removing the combat forces a full two years before the timeline agreed to by allies in the coalition. That could shift more of the burden to those allies and give them reason to hasten their own exit.

Thief chooses briefs BOISE, Idaho (AP) — Police in southwest Idaho say a man chose briefs over boxers to wear on his head as he held up a coffee shop and stole a safe. Coffee shop owner Jason Wilson tells the Idaho Statesman says he believes the man was likely not prepared when he entered Big Star Coffee in Fruitland with an accomplice on Tuesday morning. Wilson asked: “Who robs something with underwear on their head?” Investigators say the two burglars made off with about $500 in cash that was inside the safe. Their actions were captured on surveillance cameras inside and outside the shop.

Chicago protestors break away from nurses’ rally BY RYAN J. FOLEY Associated Press CHICAGO (AP) — Hundreds of protesters broke away from a large rally and began marching through Chicago streets Friday, taunting police and shouting about everything from bank bailouts to nuclear power — a prelude to even bigger demonstrations expected after the start of a NATO summit. Police said there was one arrest for aggravated battery of a police officer. Officers were also seen trying to arrest a man who scaled a bridge tower and pulled down part of a NATO banner. Earlier, police handcuffed a man at the end of a noisy but largely peaceful rally organized by the nation’s largest nurses union. Members of National Nurses United were joined by members of the Occupy movement, unions and veterans at the rally, where they demanded a “Robin Hood” tax on banks’ financial transactions. The event drew several thousand people and featured a performance by former Rage Against the Machine guitarist Tom Morello, an activist who has played at many Occupy events. Deb Holmes, a nurse at a hospital in Worcester, Mass., said she was advocating for the tax but also protesting proposals to cut back nurses’ pensions. “We’ve worked 30 years for them and don’t want to get rid of them,” she said. The rally —originally scheduled to coincide with the

LONDON (AP) — British officials have given their word: “We won’t read your emails.” But experts say the government’s proposed new surveillance program will gather so much data that spooks won’t have to read your messages to guess what you’re up to. The U.K. Home Office stresses it won’t be reading the content of every Britons’ communications, saying the data it seeks “is NOT the content of any communication.” It is, however, looking for information about who’s sending the message and to whom, where it’s sent from and other details, including a message’s length and its format. The proposal, unveiled last week as part of the government’s annual legislative program, is just a draft bill, so it could be modified or scrapped. But if passed in its current form, it would put a huge

amount of personal data at the government’s disposal, which it could use to deduce a startling amount about Britons’ private lives — from sleep patterns to driving habits or even infidelity. “We’re really entering a whole new phase of analysis based on the data that we can collect,” said Gerald Kane, an information systems expert at Boston College. “There is quite a lot you can learn.” The ocean of information is hard to fathom. Britons generate 4 billion hours of voice calls and 130 billion text messages annually, according to industry figures. In 2008, the BBC put the annual number of U.K.linked emails at around 1 trillion. Then there are instant messaging services run by companies such as BlackBerry, Internet telephone services such as Skype, chat rooms, and in-game services like those used by World of Warcraft. Communications service

providers, who would log all that back-and-forth, believe the government’s program would force them to process petabytes (1 quadrillion bytes) of information every day. It’s a mind-boggling amount of data, on the scale of every book, movie and piece of music ever released. So even without opening emails, how much can British spooks learn about who’s sending them? Did you know how fast you were going? Your phone does. “You can figure somebody’s sleep patterns, their weekly pattern of work,” said Tony Jebara, a Columbia University expert on artificial intelligence. In 2006, he helped found New York-based Sense Networks, which crunches phone data to do just that. “You can quickly figure out when somebody lost their job,” Jebara said, adding: “Credit card companies have been interested in that for a while.”

GOP Gov. Terry Branstad has been crowing about an unemployment rate that has dropped to 5.1 percent from 5.9 percent a year ago. It’s just the latest example of how, less than six months before the general election, Romney can end up in an awkward situation as he argues that the economy is deeply troubled while GOP governors salute an economic renaissance in their states. How can it be both? “Well, it is both,” McDonnell, the chairman of the Republican Governors Association, said recently. “Nationally, we’re still in the doldrums because our national economic policies are inept as led by this president: more taxes, more government programs, more regulation, lots of rhetoric and limited results.” But things are looking up in states like his, he said, adding: “I’d say most of the credit in Virginia goes to the private sector and the entrepreneurs.” Romney, a former Massa-

PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — President Barack Obama’s support for gay marriage has emboldened activists and politicians on both sides of the issue, setting off a flurry of political activity in a number of states and serving as a rallying point in others where gay marriage votes are being held this fall. With the nation divided on gay marriage, Obama’s declaration this month — a day after North Carolina voters approved an amendment to the state constitution affirming that marriage may only be a union of a man and a woman — has added a wrinkle in the political debate on a touchy subject. Obama’s stand has put wind in the sails of gay marriage supporters, while providing political fuel to opponents, said Kamy Akhavan, president of ProCon.org, a nonpartisan Californiabased nonprofit that researches pros and cons on controversial issues. “It has altered the national discussion to some degree,” he said. Same-sex marriage is now legal in six states and the District of Columbia. Thirty-one states have passed amendments aimed at banning it. The issue is expected to come up in at least four ballot measures this fall: — Maine’s ballot question asks whether gay marriage should be legalized. — Minnesota is asking whether a ban on gay marriage should be part of the state constitution. — Maryland and Washington are expected to have ballot measures seeking to overturn same-sex marriage laws that were recently passed by the legislatures. In Maine, the announcement has invigorated activists who favor and oppose November’s statewide referendum seeking to legalize same-sex marriage. The Maine Legislature passed a gay marriage bill in 2009, but it was overturned by 53 percent of the voters in a referendum that fall. David Farmer, spokesman for Mainers United for Marriage, said Obama’s description of his personal evolution on gay marriage illuminates the conversations that supporters are having in door-todoor and phone discussions with residents — talking about their “personal journeys” and people they know who are gay.

From Page 1 chusetts governor, hopes to ride a wave of voter discontent with the economy into the White House. No president has won re-election with a national unemployment rate above 7.2 percent. The rate stood at 8.1 percent in April. Any number of factors, gas prices among them, could shift voter attitudes about the economy between now and Election Day. To win, Romney must convince voters — especially those in the roughly dozen swing-voting states where the race is likely to be decided — that the situation is so bad that that they should give him a chance to do what Obama hasn’t been able to do: get the economy really going. Obama says voters should give him four more years so the nation’s recovery can continue, and he warns of a backslide if Romney takes over. Democrats, like Delaware Gov. Jack Markell, contend the country would be in far worse condition had the president not pumped stimulus money into the economy in

2009, saying it was directly responsible for new jobs. Romney and Republican governors contend that the infusion has acted as a brake on the economy, not the accelerator. “If our economy had been stimulated differently, we’d be farther along than we are at the present time,” said Gov. Robert Bentley of Alabama, a state where the jobless rate fell by 2 percentage points over the past year. In a way, however, Republican governors, many of them freshmen elected in 2010, aren’t making it easy for Romney to make his case. McDonnell, for one, spent an entire week canvassing his state and used $400,000 from his own political action committee to run TV ads statewide trumpeting a 2-year turnaround in job growth and business expansion. Virginia’s unemployment rate fell from 7.3 percent the month he took office in January 2010 — the depth of the crippling recession — to 5.6 percent last month. “We’ve been rated the top

state for business in America,” McDonnell bragged, ticking off citations from several outfits after touring a newly opened circuit board factory in Danville. Ohio’s Kasich is equally upbeat as he takes credit for 100,000 new or retained jobs since taking office in January 2011and for a new, private job-creation agency called JobsOhio. The state’s unemployment rate ticked down from 7.5 percent in March to 7.4 percent last month. Michigan’s Snyder beams when he talks about a jobless rate that has fallen by 2.2 percentage points in his state, Romney’s boyhood home, in the past year. And Branstad boasts: “The unemployment rate in Iowa is dropping dramatically, and the kind of jobs that we’re creating are the kinds we want.” In some cases, the competing messages come across as GOP governors — like McDonnell and Snyder — stand next to Romney to introduce him when he campaigns in their states.

Java jives in jazz joint Magazine released BY PATRICIA ANN SPEELMAN pspeelman@sdnccg.com Sidney Downtown workers, shoppers and residents have a new place to relax with a cup of coffee during the day. Its exposed brick walls and gleaming, dark wood bar create an atmosphere that’s comfortable and embracing. Java Haus has opened at 111 S. Ohio Ave. It shares a building with an evening jazz club that has no name, next to Lee’s Chinese restaurant. Owner Laura Wildenhaus, of Sidney, leases the space and offers customers specialty coffee drinks including espressos, cappuccinos and lattes. She also serves smoothies, frappes and teas. “Chai tea is really popular,” she said recently. A small selection of donuts is also available. The shop is a new venture for Wildenhaus, but she is no stranger to downtown Sidney. She and her husband, Jim, have run Flint’s TV & Appliances for the last 25 years. It was to support downtown business that she took the opportunity when the jazz club’s owner, Terry DeVelvis, said he was hoping to lease the space during the day. Java Haus is open Monday through Thursday from 7 a.m. to 2:30

LAURA WILDENHAUS, of Sidney, works at her new coffee shop, the Java Haus, which is located next to Lee’s Chinese in downtown Sidney. p.m. and Friday and Saturday from 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Wildenhaus said that learning to run the coffee machine and to make proper lattes and cappuccinos was her biggest challenge. “There are actual schools to teach you how to be a barrista. I went to Coffee Fest in New York City and had training and workshops over a weekend. The roastery where I get my coffee also trained us,” she said. Her daughter, Kara Wildenhaus, assists her at the cafe. “I’m surprised that there’s so much more knowledge and learning about coffee than people think,” she said. Busi-

ness has been slow because not many people know the shop is open. But that is changing and Wildenhaus expects real crowds on Saturdays when the farmers’ market is open on the courtsquare. “People who have found us say, ‘This is such a good idea,’” she said. “I am not into this for money. I would like to make enough to keep

VETS sengers were unloaded. Randy then went back to the first bus to pick up those passengers and bring them back to the hotel. Plans were still being worked out for traveling to D.C. on Saturday. The Rev. Phil Chilcote said during the send-off ceremony it has been his privilege to get to know the county’s veterans. “I live an interesting life as a chaplain with hospice and as the director of the Civic Band. I come in contact with veterans every day. “I’m reminded constantly of the values you have,” he said. “You have respect … honor … and a call to help others. I’m proud to get to know so many veterans. I appreciate the county you have let us live. As you look at the memorials this weekend, remember you are the monuments and we need to honor you each day. “I hope you all come back with a renewed love for their nation,” said Chilcote. Sidney Mayor Michael Barhorst read a proclamation declaring Friday through Sunday as honored veterans to Washington, D.C., in Shelby County. “You are the sons and daughters of a peaceful nation who gave their best of their lives to their country,” said Barhorst. Shelby County Commissioner Julie Ehemann also presented a proclamation declaring Friday as Shelby County Veterans Appreciation Day. Ehemann and her husband, Kurt, are volunteers on the trip. More than 30 veterans are traveling to D.C., from Shelby many County but also from the surrounding counties. Dunkirk resident Robert Douglas is a veteran of the Korean War. He served in the U.S. Army from 1951 to 1953. “I was stationed at the 8th Army Headquarters,” said Douglas. “I kept track of everything the trucks brought in from all the transportation units.” Douglas said he read about the trip from the Veterans Service organization, which published a notice in a newspaper. “I had always wanted to see the memorials, especially the Korean War

HOROSCOPE

BY FRANCIS DRAKE What kind of day will tomorrow be? To find out what the stars say, read the forecast given for your birth sign. For Sunday, May 20, 2012 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You’ll be busier in the next month. Short trips, errands, discussions with siblings, relatives and neighbors, plus increased reading will accelerate your daily pace. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) In the next month, you’ll be keen to work hard to earn money. Some of you also might be contemplating a major expenditure. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Today the Sun moves into Gemini to stay for the next four weeks, giving you a chance to recharge your batteries for the rest of the year. It’s all about you! CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You now enter a four-week period just before your birthday. This is the best time of year for you to plan ahead and decide what you want your new year to be all about. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) A popular month ahead! Accept all invitations. Enjoy schmoozing with others. Many of you also will join classes, clubs, groups and associations. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) In the coming month, the Sun will be at the top of your chart. (This happens only once a year.) This means people in authority will notice you in a favorable way. (It’s like great lighting for you.) LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Grab every opportunity to travel in

the next month, because you want to spread your wings. Be a tourist in your own town. Visit new places and learn new things. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) In the coming month, you will be unusually intense and passionate about everything. (Romance will be hot and heavy!) SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Do whatever you can to get more rest, because the Sun is now sitting opposite from your sign, which means it’s as far away as it ever gets in the year. Respect your need for more sleep. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Suddenly, you’re gung-ho to get organized. In the month ahead, you’ll want to be as efficient and effective as possible. Act on this burst of energy! AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Get ready for a fun-loving, playful month ahead, because the stars want you to party! Go on a vacation. Enjoy love affairs and romance. Sports and playful times with children will appeal. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Home, family and your domestic scene will be your top priority in the month ahead. Interaction with a parent could be significant. YOU BORN TODAY Because you are so innovative and original, you’re not afraid to be “different.” You almost always follow your instincts, which, although quirky, generally are quite noble. You constantly seek amusing pastimes because you don’t like to be bored. You adore travel. You are enthusiastic about what you like. In the year ahead, a major decision will rise. Choose wisely.

Allow your new mom the opportunity

BY FRANCIS DRAKE What kind of day will tomorrow be? To find out what the stars say, read the forecast given for your birth sign. For Monday, May 21, 2012 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Today you are so confident! You’re almost swaggering because you’re full of big, money-making ideas that excite you. You quite literally feel like a player, because you know you’re in the zone! TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) You easily will see the big picture in anything you look at or discuss today. You also will be intellectually more tolerant of other people’s viewpoints. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) A kind of inner optimism makes you feel happy, content and enthusiastic about life today. Essentially, it’s a belief in your own positive future. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) All group activities will be rewarding and upbeat for you. Accept invitations from others. It’s time to rally the troops! LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Conversations with bosses, parents, teachers and VIPs will be extremely positive today. Others are impressed with your ability to “think big.” VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Travel plans are exciting. You’re starting to wrap your head around bigger ideas that you previously had entertained. This enthusiasm extends to school plans and anything having to do with medicine and the law. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Keep your pockets open, because others will be generous to you today. This is an excellent day to discuss how to share or divide something, espe-

cially inheritances and jointly held property. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Conversations with friends and partners are unusually positive and upbeat today. In part, this is because people feel generous to each other. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) This is a wonderful day at work. Meetings with co-workers will be positive and successful. Work-related travel is likely. (But you will like it.) CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) What a fun-loving day to party! Enjoy playful activities with children. Artists will be particularly confident about their ability to create something. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Family gatherings will be enjoyable today because everyone is in a great mood. People will be generous and supportive of each other, which sets the tone for a happy get-together. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Because you’re full of positive thoughts today, that is how your day will unfold. First comes the thought, then comes the word, and from the word springs the deed. Soon the deed becomes habit, which eventually hardens into character. Thoughts are important! YOU BORN TODAY You often have long-range goals that you courageously pursue. Because of your own personal dedication, you’re successful. You’re practical in how you put your ideals into action. You never give up because you believe that eventually, the money, resources and opportunities that are necessary will come to you. Work hard to build or construct something in the year ahead, because your rewards soon will follow. Birthdate of: Janet Dailey, novelist; Raymond Burr, actor; Sarah Ramos, actress.

DONOparted to a golf swing’s impact with a golf ball HUE: Does exercise in-

crease appetite? I have taken up exercise not just for strength but to lose weight. If my appetite increases, I’m defeating that reason for exercising. — V.H. ANSWER: Strenuous exercise dampens appetite during exercise and for some time after it’s over. Moderate exercise has hardly any influence on appetite. If you stick with your program, you will gradually start increasing your calorie intake to supply energy to continue it. This increased intake goes into muscle building. It doesn’t go into fat storage. You might not lose huge amounts of weight, but you will gain muscle size. DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I remember something you wrote about strength decline that comes with aging. I am in my 70s. I have exercised all my life by running and by strength training.

I perform circles around my son-in-law, who is half my age. I truly believe I am as strong and vigorous as I was when I was 30. What do you say to that? — R.M. ANSWER: I believe you. At about age 30, muscle strength begins to wane. By age 80, arm, leg and back strength is only 40 percent of what it was at peak strength — around the late 20s. It’s also said that about 30 percent of males and 66 percent of females have a hard time lifting 10 pounds of weight when they reach the mid-70s. None of this is true for one who follows an exercise program for life. Furthermore, strength can be re-established later in life by adopting a strengthening program. Older people can also improve heart function by adopting an aerobic program like brisk walking. All this depends on the doctor’s approval.

We have had some rough mother/daughter years but are now in a good place. When it’s time, I would like my daughter to ask me to help her pick out her wedding gown. I have a strong hunch that Gina will ask a girlfriend instead. I also know that if I talk to her about my wishes, she’ll say, “Sure” or ask me to join her friends. This may seem silly, but I want her to want just me to go. What do you think is the best way to handle this? —

Wildlife ‘rescues’ often do more harm than good XENIA, OH – The Spring season has arrived and so too has the season for Ohio residents to enjoy spotting young and sometimes seemingly abandoned Each year, wildlife. ODNR Division of Wildlife officials offer simple advice. Please leave wildlife alone and enjoy wildlife from a distance. A wild animal is capable of biting, scratching, and transmitting diseases and parasites to humans and pets. More often than not, baby animals are not abandoned and the parents will eventually retrieve their youngsters, especially when left alone by humans. “When wildlife officers or wildlife mangement personel receive a call regarding a seemingly abandoned fawn

for example, the first thing we suggest is to take the animal back to where it was found,” stated Brett Beatty, assistant wildlife management supervisor for southwest Ohio. “Many wild animals are raised by only one adult or are not tended to during the daylight hours. A doe will often hide her young fawns from predators by leaving it alone in a secluded spot, such as a grassy field or even landscaping around a house. A hidden fawn has virtually no scent and when left alone is difficult for predators to find. The doe tends to the fawn several times each night,” continued Beatty. State and federal laws protect and regulate wildlife and endangered species in Ohio. Only persons known as reha-

bilitators, under special permits issued by the Division of Wildlife, may possess and care for native wild animals. The ODNR Division of Wildlife offers the following advice: • Think before you act. Check for nests before cutting down trees or clearing brush. It is best to cut trees and clear brush in the autumn when nesting season is over. • Leave the animal in the wild. If you disturb a nest, wear gloves and replace the babies and the nest material to the original location or as close as possible. It’s a myth that wildlife parents will not tend to the babies because of human scent. Wildlife parents are devoted parents and most birds don’t even have a sense of smell.

ODNR clarifies guidelines for fish fillet transportation COLUMBUS — The Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) Division of Wildlife has issued a statewide directive to its enforcement officers to clarify guidelines for enforcing a new rule that specifies the condition of fish fillets being kept or transported. “Many Ohio anglers have expressed that they were confused about the fillet rule so I asked our Division of Wildlife to clarify the rule so no innocent angler stands a chance of getting in to trouble when they are trying to follow the law,” said ODNR Director James Zehringer. The rule, Ohio Administrative Code 1501:3113-08, states that it is

unlawful to possess or transport a fish unless the fish is in the round or a complete fillet with skin attached until a person reaches their permanent residence. The confusion surrounding the question of whether the skin had to be kept on the entire fillet or whether a patch of skin to identify the fish species would suffice. Many Lake Erie anglers come to the lake for a few days or a week to sample the world class fishery, and anglers may be bringing home several days’ limits of the various species. After a thorough review, a directive sent today to wildlife officers from Scott Zody, chief of the Division of Wildlife,

specified that the rule should be interpreted to mean that only a patch of skin, enough to identify the species of the fish is required to be left on the fillet. Changes will be made this fall during the regular rulemaking package to further clarify the requirement in code. The rule is designed as a tool to protect the valuable Lake Erie fishing resource and to allow wildlife officers to identify fillets in an angler’s possession. “Our goal was to protect the state’s most valuable fishery,” said Zody. “It was not our intent to create a hardship for anglers, who bring a tremendous economic benefit to the state.”

Jobs created through recycling COLUMBUS — Ten projects across Ohio were awarded funding through the Market Development Grant program offered by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR), totaling $1.8 million. With these funds, 51 full-time jobs will be created, helping to revitalize our communities.

The Market Development Grants will assist in a variety of recycling programs including: construction and debris recycling, manufacturing and processing recycling, organic recycling and material recovery facilities. Grants were awarded based on: financial need of the applicant, demonstration of positive economic

and environmental impact regionally or statewide, assurances that the project will accomplish stated goals and availability of grant funds. The funding will become available on July 1. Businesses and nonprofit groups were eligible for funding, but each group needed to be sponsored by a state agency.

Minster girls win district title WAPAKONETA — The Minster girls softball team advanced to the Division IV Regional tournament Friday with a 7-5 victory over St. Henry in the district championship game at Wapakonta. The Lady Wildcats are now 24-6 on the year and advance to the regional tournament at Tipp City Wednesday at 5 p.m. against Southeastern. The two teams were deadlocked at 1-1 after four innings, St. Henry scoring its run in the bottom of the fourth to tie the game up. But Minster came out and scored five times in the top of the fifth to open up a 6-1 lead. The Lady Wildcats added a run in the sixth to make it 7-1, but had to hang on when St. Henry scored four times in the bottom of the sixth. SDN Photo/Luke Gronneberg Minster had just five hits LEHMAN’S GREG Spearman gets set to throw a runner out at first for the final out of the first in the game, four less than St. inning in Division IV District final action against Arcanum Friday at Newton. Running for the Henry, but took advantage of Trojans is Daulton Summers. Lehman won 6-2 to advance to the regional tournament. five St. Henry errors. Minster got a double from Kayla Richard and singles from four other girls. Richard went the distance on the mound, striking out six and walking just one.

Lehman headed back to regional in D-IV BY MATT ZIRCHER

PLEASANT HILL – It was nearly a role reversal for Lehman Friday in the Division IV district baseball finals here at Newton High School. On Wednesday, the Cavaliers trailed 5-0 and 5-3 before rallying for three runs in the bottom of the seventh to defeat Riverside. On Friday, it was Lehman that built a 5-0 advantage before Arcanum started to rally in the final two innings. But the Cavaliers were able to stem the tide in time to secure a 6-2 win and a spot in Thursday’s regional semifinals. Lehman, now 22-5 on the season, will face Cincinnati Christian, a 2-1 winner over Fort Loramie, in the 2 p.m. semifina st Springfield. The Trojans posed a threat in the first in loading the bases with two walks and an error, but Cavalier pitcher Ben Weber retired Chay Kramer on a grounder. Lehman picked up a run in its half of the first as after hits by Greg Spearman and DJ Hemm resulted in runners on first and third, a double play off the bat of Weber plated Spearman. The Cavaliers increased the lead to 4-0 with three more runs in the second. An AJ Hemmelgarn hit along with a Drew Westerheide walk and John Copella reaching on an error loaded the bases with no outs and two runs came in as Cole Proffitt singled to right center. Joe Vondenhuevel followed by hitting a ball off of home plate for a hit as Westerheide scored. The margin grew to 5-0 an inning later on a Copella RBI double, scoring pinch-runner Steven Blenman and it stayed that way until the sixth thanks to the pitching of Weber, who shut out the Trojans for the first 4.1 innings, striking out three, before giving way to Alex Smith. “We developed Weber into a pitcher because of his arm and we’ve rode him and Smith all season long,” said Lehman coach Dave King. “We wanted to have Ben go longer, but it was hotter on the field today than it felt and we just felt like he was starting to run out of gas.” Arcanum broke through in the sixth with an unearned run as Mitch Brown had a bases-loaded single to center, but Smith struck out Matt Albright to end the threat.

Errors hurt Lady Pirates BROOKVILLE — Riverside’s Division IV District championship game lasted just five innings, the Lady Pirates getting run-ruled 14-2 because of shaky defense. Southeastern took advantage of 10 Riverside errors to win the game and advance to the regional semifinals against Minster on Wednesday. Despite the final score, Riverside led 2-0 early after scoring twice in the bottom of the first on Erin Krisher’s two-out, two-run double. But Southeastern sent 11 to the plate in the third and scored seven times on six hits and three Riverside errors. Riverside then committed five more errors in the fifth and Southeastern put up seven more runs. When the Lady Pirates didn’t score in the bottom of the fifth, the game ended right there.

VERSAILLES’ KYLE Niekamp slides safely into home during a district championship baseball game against Fenwick Friday at Tipp City. “When you get to this level, no lead is safe,” said King. “Arcanum is a very good team with a lot of confidence and they never quit. We had some mistakes, but came up with the plays when we needed to.” “We had some opportunities, but just couldn’t get the key hit,” said Arcanum coach Randy Baker. “Lehman was able to hit the holes early and they took advantage.” Lehman had one more hit than Arcanum, but the Cavaliers left just six on base compared to 14 for Arcanum, including the bases loaded three times. Spearman had two hits and a run scored for the Cavaliers while Daulton Summers did the same for Arcanum.

Redskins edged 2-1, finish 20-10 BELLBROOK — They will be debating for a long time whether the catch was made in right field or not in the fifth inning. But Fort Loramie coach Bill Sturwold’s only comment after the game was “those things happen in baseball.” Fort Loramie appeared to have a big inning going in the fifth against Cincinnati Christian in the district final, loading the bases with one out. Then on a ball hit in the gap, the centerfielder dove for it and got his glove on it, and the ball wound up in the rightfielder’s glove. The um-

pire said he caught it before it hit the ground. Loramie scored a run on the play, but it short-circuited a big inning, and that run was the only one of the game for the Redskins in a 2-1 loss in Division IV play. Loramie bows out with a final 20-10 record. Cincinnati Christian advances to the regional tournament Thursday at 2 p.m. at Springfield against Lehman. The loss spoiled an outstanding pitching effort by Jared Albers, who held Christian to just three hits and did not give up an earned run. “He pitched 10 shutout innings Saturday against Russia, and six innings today. So that gave him 16 straight innings without giving up an earned run,” said Sturwold. Loramie’s run in the fifth tied the game at 1-1, but Cincinati Christian got a clutch two-out base hit from Ryan Arrington to drive in the wining run in the the sixth. Arrington then worked out of a bases-loaded jam in the bottom of the seventh with a strikeout, one of eight in the game. “We just struck out too much,” said Sturwold. “We left too many men on because we couldn’t get the two-out hit.” The linescore: RHE Loramie ...................000 010 0_1 4 1 Cin. Chr. ..................001 001 x_2 3 2 Albers (LP) and Goldschmidt; Arrington and Haley.

blank Reds 4-0

NEW YORK (AP) — Andy Pettitte pitched eight shutout innings for his first regular-season win since July 2010, leading the New York Yankees over the Cincinnati Reds 4-0 Friday night. Making his second major league start since ending his one-year retirement, the 39-year-old left-hander (1-1) limited the young, free-swinging Reds to four hits — all singles. With a fastball that reached 90 mph, an excellent cutter and a sharp curve, he struck out nine and walked one, throwing 78 of 115 pitches for strikes. Given a 1-0 lead on Alex Rodriguez's RBI grounder in the fourth, Pettitte pitched well Adam enough to make it stand

up. Robinson Cano hit a solo homer off Bronson Arroyo (2-2) in the eighth and Raul Ibanez hit a two-run drive, his eighth homer of the season. Pettitte had been 0-2 in five starts since winning at Seattle on July 8, 2010 — five days before he pitched in the All-Star game. After missing much of the second half because of a groin strain, he beat Minnesota in Game 2 of the AL division series. In his first start, at Yankee Stadium on Sunday, Pettitte allowed four runs over 6 1-3 innings in a 6-2 loss to Seattle. Boone Logan pitched a perfect ninth, completing the four-hitter as New York stopped a losing three-game streak.

BASEBALL Friday, the Tigers’ offense stopped that trend and broke out for 14 runs as Versailles beat Fenwick 14-1 in a fiveinning run rule to win a district championship and advance to the regional tournament as one of the final 16 teams in Division III. “There’s a lot of tradition of success at Versailles, and we’re really happy to try and keep building on that,” Versailles baseball coach Mitch Hoying said. Fenwick struck first with a run in the bottom of the second inning before Versailles' offense started to produce. In the top of the third, Zach Niekamp tied the game with a RBI double to make it 1-0. Versailles took the lead for the first time in the game in the top of the fourth as the Tigers added three runs to make it 4-1. First Mitch drove in Gigandet Damian Richard and Kyle Niekamp, and then Lee Kindell drove in Gigandet. Versailles scored 10 unearned runs in the fifth inning to take care of Fenwick. “Luckily they had a little lapse defensively, and we took advantage of it,” Hoying said. Everyone in the Versailles lineup contributed to the offensive outpouring Friday. Damian Richard and

Dominic Richard both had a pair of doubles while Ethan Bruns, Kyle Niekamp and Zach Niekamp each had a double. Mike Rutschilling, Bruns, Dominic Richard, Damian Richard, Kyle Niekamp and Gigandet each scored a couple runs. Versailles now will play in the regional semifinal at 2 p.m. Thursday at the Athletes in Action complex in Xenia. ——

Minster earns trip to regional COLDWATER — the Minster Wildcats survived a bases-loaded, one-out jam in the top of the seventh and went on to beat Crestview 4-3 in the Division IV District finals Friday night at Coldwater. The defending state champions now make a return trip to the regional tournament Thursday at Springfield against the Southeastern-Seven Hills winner at 5 p.m. Minster took a 4-2 lead into the seventh, but Crestview loaded the bases. Coach Mike Wiss called on ace Adam Niemeyer in relief. He struck out the next batter for the second out, but walked in a run to make it 4-3. But he induced the next hitter to ground out to end the game.

SOFTBALL Versailles, which upset three opponents including the No. 4 team in the state en route to winning a sectional championship, fell short Friday. “I thought we came out flat, but you know, I’m pretty proud of the effort that they gave in this tournament,” Versailles coach Mechelle Heitkamp said.

The Lady Tigers got one run in the bottom half of the inning as Madison Monnin drove in Allie Grilliot, but that was as close as they got.

Association plans Summer Celebration NEW BREMEN — The New Bremen Historic Association will begin its Summer Celebration on June 3. The museum on North Main Street will be open each Sunday afternoon in June, July and August from 2 to 4 p.m. The museum’s goal this year is to honor family memories and traditions by recording and preserving stories of families with roots in New Bremen and the surrounding area. The following topics will be among those covered:

MEMBERS OF Team 2, which placed 12th in the TARC finals, are (l-r) Jessica Berelsman, Dane Dahlinghaus, Austin Dwenger and Pierce McGowan.

Minster rocket team finishes 12th in nation Qualifies for NASA competition MINSTER — Three different teams at Minster Junior/Senior High School competed in the Team America Rocketry Challenge outside of Washington, D.C., on May 12. The weather was perfect as the three teams had a fabulous day launching rockets, team coach Ted Oldiges said. Team 3, consisting of Riethman, Nathan Danielle Monnin, Carlin Elder, Blake Mallory and Sam Bornhorst, launched its rocket in the cool early morning. The rocket launched perfectly into the morning sky as it reached for the newly rising sun. The flight lasted 37 seconds, a little under the required duration.

rocket soared high in the sky; unfortunately it was too high as it reached 842 feet and the total flight duration was 51 seconds. Team 2, consisting of Jessica Berelsman, Dane Dahlinghaus, Austin Dwenger and Pierce McGowan, launched in the early afternoon as the temperature increased past 80 degrees. Team members used their prior data and estimated what would be needed under the weather conditions to achieve a successful flight. As the rocket left the launch rod, it soared high in the sky and arched over as the ejection charge popped the parachute.

Altimeter problem

As members watched the descent, the parachute did not fully unveil as air spilled from the chute and the rocket fell to the ground. In the end, the team had a duration of 40, three seconds off the target. Upon inspection of the altimeter, team members jumped for joy as the altimeter reading beeped out an altitude of 791 feet; 9 feet from their goal. With the preliminary round complete, Team 3 ranked 89th place, Team 1 ranked 60th place, and Team 2 ranked 13th place. The top 25 teams move into the final round for the scholarship money and prizes and Team 2 earned a place in the finals. Team 2 was ecstatic as members celebrated their accomplishment, Oldiges said. As they prepared their rocket for the final showdown, the

After retrieving their rocket, team members determined the altimeter did not engage, and after inspection it was determined the altimeter was in working order and the team was denied a re-flight. The team’s score of 820.4 reflects the missing altitude reading. This demonstrates that in rocketry anything can go wrong at any time, and many times it is out of your control. Team 1, consisting of Reid Frick, Brooke Monnin, Macey Elder and Hailey Oldiges, launched later in the morning as the sun warmed the air to 70plus degrees. Team members scoured their flight data and found a prior launch similar in weather conditions as they set up their rocket for flight. The team had a beautiful flight as the

wind started to blow and the temperature began to fall. Team members loaded the rocket, then watched in excitement as it left the launch pad and soared into the sky toward its 800-foot destination. Teams then walked to the leader board as scores were posted. Team 2 moved up one spot to finish in 12th place. Everyone was excited because finishing in the top 25 earns you the right to compete in the NASA Student Launch Initiative (SLI), the next level in rocket science where members work for NASA.

Whether posting or responding to an advertisement, watch out for offers to pay more than the advertised price for the item. Scammers will send a check and ask the seller to wire the excess through Western Union (possibly for courier fees). The scammer's check is fake and eventually bounces and the seller loses the wired amount. While banks and Western branches are Union trained at spotting fake checks, these types of scams are growing increasingly sophisticated and fake checks often aren't caught for weeks. Funds wired through Western Union or MoneyGram are irretrievable and virtually untraceable.
