Full speed ahead.

That’s the process of the levy campaign for the Sidney City Schools, said Superintendent John Scheu.

“There are some positive things happening,” said Scheu.

Renee Davis, co-chairman of the Citizens for Sidney Schools levy committee,

said committee members have given presentations at all the elementary school PTO meetings.

“We’ve gotten some good questions at the meetings,” said Davis. “People are listening to what we’re saying.”

Davis said a meeting will be held May 28 at Amos Memorial Public Library at 11:30 a.m. and 6:30 p.m. so the general public can hear the presentation and ask questions.

“We want to give them the information they need,” said Davis.

The levy website, she said, is up and running. The web address is www.sidneyschoolslevy.org.

“People are starting to read it more,” she said. “The (Shelby County) Auditor’s Office’s website has also been updated for SCS information. Since we’re shifting from property to income tax, a person See ELECTION/Page 3

COLUMBUS — The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) unveiled a map Tuesday identifying interstate highway locations where motorists will be legally permitted to drive 70 miles per hour beginning this summer.

The new designations follow recently passed legislation permitting speeds to increase from 65 to 70 mph on certain sections of interstate highways. H.B. 51 — the state’s transportation budget bill, which goes into effect on July 1 — increased speeds to 70 miles per hour on interstates that are “outside urbanized areas.”

The 70 mph speed limit is not new to Ohio. Motorists are already legally permitted to drive 70 miles per hour on all 241 miles of the Ohio Turnpike. And according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, 34 other states in the nation have some posted speed limits of 70 miles per hour or higher including Indiana, Michigan, See SPEED/Page 20

Budish to step down COLUMBUS (AP) — The Democratic leader in the Ohio House said Tuesday that he’s stepping down from his role before his term ends next year.

State Rep. Armond Budish’s resignation as House minority leader comes as he has expressed interest in becoming the head of the state’s largest county. He is term-limited and can’t run for the House next year.

Budish, of Beachwood, has led House Democrats for five years.

He served as the Ohio House speaker for two years after the party won control of the cham-

ber in 2008.

Budish said in a statement Tuesday that he’s resigning to allow for a smoother transition ahead of his departure.

He also told The Plain Dealer newspaper Monday that he has been weighing a bid for Cuyahoga County executive for months. Democratic Executive Ed FitzGerald is challenging Republican Gov. John Kasich in 2014.

“I can’t give a date on when I would announce a run,” Budish said. “I hope sooner rather than later.”

Budish’s resignation was effective Tuesday night, though he’ll continue to serve in the House.

BERLIN (AP) — Justin Bieber’s pet monkey is no longer his.

The capuchin monkey named Mally was seized

by German customs on March 28 when the 19year-old Canadian pop star failed to produce the required vaccination and import papers after landing in Munich for a European tour.

Authorities issued an order Tuesday transferring ownership of the animal to Germany after Bieber missed a deadline to send the documents, customs Thomas spokesman Meister said.

Bieber has six weeks to contest the decision.

Mally, now 20 weeks old, was being cared for at Munich’s animal shelter. He has fared well and gained weight and even got a visit Tuesday from Germany’s environment minister.

“We are going to make sure that Mally can grow up appropriately for its species,” said minister Peter Altmaier.

NOW FEATURING ROMER’S CATERING

KETTERING — Adele U. Koehnen, 91, of Kettering, died suddenly on Saturday, May 18, 2013.

A lifelong Daytonian, she was preceded in death by her parents, Gerard and Eleonora Unverferth, brother Harold Unverferth, and two loving husbands Robert J. Schweller and John J. Koehnen.

She is survived by her daughter Elaine Schweller-Snyder and son-in-law Chip Snyder, of Sidney, and many nieces, nephews and dear friends.

Adele graduated from Julienne High School and the University of Dayton.

She also studied dramatic art at Proctor’s School. In 1944, she started at WHIO Radio writing continuity, and did on-air work with a 15-minute Saturday morning show “The Feminine Spotlight” and Monday-throughFriday segments as Cornelia, an on-air shopper for Rike’s Department Store. She left WHIO in 1947 to marry her high school sweetheart Robert Schweller. Their daughter was born in 1951.

In 1956, Adele was hired by the brand new Kettering-Oakwood Times as Women’s Editor; she also wrote a slice-oflife humor column called “The Line’s Busy” by Adele Louise. Eleven years later, she left the Times and began free-

lance writing for “Leisure,” a Sunday supplement of the Dayton Daily News. She later moved to the Neighbors section as a Hereabouts columnist and contributed numerous feature articles including an historical series about places in Kettering called “Now and Then.” Always looking forward, thinking of that next story, she was still writing for Neighbors at the time of her death.

A former president of the UD Mother’s Club and an avid UD basketball fan, Adele was a season-ticket holder for more than 65 years, attending games with her daughter.

She was a devout Catholic and woman of great Faith who loved musicals, words, and a good game of scrabble.

A memorial Mass will be held at noon on Thursday at St. Albert the Great Church, Kettering. Friends may greet the family from 10 a.m. to noon in the Gathering Space at the church.

The family requests no flowers. Instead please send donations in Adele’s name to St. Albert the Great Church, Lehman Catholic High School (2400 St. Marys Ave., Sidney OH 45365), or the University of Dayton Champions and Scholars Fund. Condolences may be sent to www.newcomerdayton.com.

ELECTION can go on the website and see how much their property taxes will be rolled back if the income tax is passed.”

Davis said three bulk mailings are planned to every resident in the district. Yard signs are also being ordered.

Two other public meetings will be held in June, said Davis. The first will be June 11 at 7 p.m. at the Maplewood Grange. The second will be at the Sidney-Shelby County YMCA at 12:30 and 7 p.m.

“We’ve moved from the strategic point of the campaign to a tactical point,” said co-chairman Bill Warner.

Scheu said he has received positive comments about the question of the week that is being published on Mondays in the Sidney Daily News.

“I’ve heard from people that they really appreciate seeing the question in print,” said Scheu.

In the event the 1 percent, five-year income tax levy is approved on Aug. 6, the board approved a motion that would offset the collection of revenue from the expiring 9.9 mill emergency levy. The request, which is contingent on the passage of the new levy, would reduce the amount of property taxes collected in 2014 from the expiring levy.

The board approved the five-year financial forecast for the district.

Treasurer Mike Watkins said he factored in the transition from the emergency levy to the income tax levy. The amount of money being received from the state isn’t known as the new twoyear state budget hasn’t been adopted yet.

One positive piece of news in the forecast, said Watkins, deals with health insurance. The district will be seeing a 6 1/2 percent increase in premuiums, he said.

“This is welcome news because it’s down from the 11 percent we originally thought would happen,” said Watkins.

He said a 7 1/2 percent increase will be bult in for 2015.

An increase in expenditures for textbooks/workbooks has also been included in the forecast, said Watkins.

Mark Barhorst, director of business services, asked the board to consider purchasing a mini van for the district.

He explained during the 2012-13 school year, the district spent just over $10,250 driving a bus 3,220 miles for small group transportation.

This was for basketball, tennis, academia and mock trial team transportation only and a bus had to be used as the district’s vans were not large enough to carry the team members and coach/adviser. By using a mini

From Page 1

van, the district could save $8,430 per year.

Barhorst proposed the district buy a nine-passenger Mico Bird MultiPurpose Vehicle as part of the regular van purchase rotation to assist with smaller group transportation. The bid price is $39,700 and the district would receive $1,200 for the trade-in of a Chevy Venture van with 186,000 miles.

However, he said, no decision can be made until it is determined whether the district will have a wheelchair-bound student would would have to be transported to Dayton daily. If that occurs, then the district would need a multi-purpose vehicle that has a wheelchair lift option.

This vehicle would cost $42,275.

Barhorst said he will know by the end of the week whether the student will or will not be going to Dayton.

Watkins said funds were appropriated for this type of purchase in the transportation budget.

Barhorst also outlined maintenance summer needs. The top projects, he said, include reroofing of the east wing of Emerson Elementary School; purchasing a bus that is handicap-accessible and the final payment of the two buses purchased last year. Barhorst said the current handicap-accessible buses are currently full.

Other projects on his list include paving at Lowell, Northwood and Longfellow schools; roofing at Northwood and Whittier; stadium lights; maintenance truck with a plow and security enhancements.

Barhorst said he is also exploring the possibility of hooking up the coolers and freezers at the high school and middle school to generators. Further information will be given at the next meeting.

In other business, the board: • Approved the transfer of $100,000 from the general fund to the termination benefits funds as recommended by Watkins. He said this was due to the increased number of retirements from the district.

• Accepted a $7,514 donation from the Sidney High School Music Boosters toward the purchase of a new band trailer.

President Melanie Cook congratulated the group for raising the entire amount needed to purchase the trailer.

• Approved a motion to enter into an income tax sharing agreement with the city of Sidney regarding Sunrise Hospitality Inc. for a period of 10 years.

The board’s next meeting will be June 17 at 5:30 p.m. at the board of education building.

Feds to run high-risk plan

AP Photo/Connection Church

COLUMBUS (AP) — Federal and Ohio officials couldn’t agree on spending for a state-run stopgap health insurance plan that covers Ohioans who can’t get coverage elsewhere, so the U.S. government will take it over, state officials said Tuesday.

A similar scenario is playing out in 17 other states, creating uncertainty for tens of thousands of people with serious medical conditions.

The program is part of President Barack Obama’s health care law.

It’s meant to be a temporary patch until 2014, when the federal law will require insurers to accept all applicants, regardless of medical history. The law capped spending on the program nationally at $5 billion, and the money is running out because the beneficiaries turned out to be costlier to care for than expected.

Last month, the Obama administration gave proposed contract

On Sunday, the 21-year-old groom was killed and his wife sustained minor injuries when their vehicle crashed in Ohio's Tuscarawas County. The newlyweds were on the way to their honeymoon in Myrtle Beach, S.C. The couple were both involved in the youth ministry at the church, where Heather was a lifelong member.

Jordan Costa, 21, was pronounced dead at the of Sunday’s scene rollover crash in eastern Ohio’s Tuscarawas County.

Heather Favazza-Costa, also 21, suffered minor injuries.

The Costas were married Saturday at Connection Church in Canton Township, Mich., where both were involved in the youth ministry and she was a lifelong member.

The wedding was “just beautiful and festive. I told my wife that I had been to very few weddings where they hon-

ored God more than this,” said the Rev. Rocky Barra, pastor of Connection Church and the wedding celebrant. “It was as great a beginning to a life together as any young couple could ask for. That’s why this is so devastating for all of us.”

Favazza-Costa called her parents from the crash site at the end of the first Sunday service.

The Favazzas, both active in the church, immediately left for Ohio, and Barra asked congregants to pray for the couple.

“We’re destroyed. No one can prepare for anything like this. Married less than 24 hours,” said Barra, who visited with Favazza-Costa and her parents at their home in Wayne, Mich., on Sunday night.

terms for the program’s remaining months to the state-based plans. If no agreement could be reached, the federal government said it would take over that state’s program for the rest of this year.

The administrator of Ohio’s program requested more funding but it was denied, Ohio Lt. Gov. Mary Taylor wrote in a letter Tuesday to U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius.

Taylor, the state’s most vocal critic of the federal health care law, also wrote that she was concerned about the impact that the shift to a federally run program could have on residents.

“Changes to benefits, treatment plans, deductibles, access to provider networks, and a potential lapse in coverage later in 2013 could harm consumers relying on the high-risk pool for their health care needs,” wrote Taylor, who is also

CINCINNATI (AP) — Tea party activists waving flags and signs, singing patriotic songs and chanting anti-IRS slogans held rallies outside federal buildings across the country Tuesday to protest the agency’s extra scrutiny of conservative groups.

A crowd packed the sidewalks in front of and across the street from a Cincinnati federal building housing the Internal Revenue Service offices that handled tax-exempt status applications.

“It’s going to be up to the grass-roots movement to do something,” said Paul Wheeler,

dressed in Colonial-era attire with tri-cornered hat and holding a sign saying: “Internal ‘Revenge’ Service Stop.” He said he came from Indianapolis, some 100 miles way, because Cincinnati is “the epicenter of some of the complaints.”

IRS officials have acknowledged that some conservative groups received inappropriate attention.

There were also rallies outside IRS offices in Atlanta; Louisville; Chicago; Cherry Hill, N.J.; Denver; Kansas City, Mo.; Helena, Mont.; Philadelphia; Phoenix, and Providence, R.I.,

After a short march, activists here filled sidewalks in front of the federal building for about 30 minutes. Some had Revolutionary War-style “Don’t Tread on Me” and 13-star U.S. flags, as they chanted “IRS has got to go!” and “Stop the IRS!” Demonstrators also sang “The Star Spangled Banner,” ”God Bless America,” and other songs.

Man arrested after standoff ST. MARYS — An Auglaize County man was in jail Monday, accused of threatening his own life and possibly the life of a baby.

Jonathan E. Halbisen, 30, was held on charges of kidnapping, a second-degree felony, and child endangering and weapons while intoxicated, both first-degree misdemeanors.

Halbisen was arrested after an incident that began at 6:37 a.m. Sunday at a home on Ohio 29 west of St. Marys, Auglaize County Sheriff Al Solomon said.

A woman called the sheriff ’s department, reporting a friend was threatening to commit suicide.

She said he had a shotgun and was holding a 15month-old boy, Solomon said.

Auglaize County deputies and St. Marys Police officers were called to the home. The officers were able to talk to Halbisen while the Auglaize County Special Response Team was called to the scene, Solomon said.

Officers were able to talk Halbisen into surrendering after a 90-minute standoff, Solomon said. No one was injured in the incident he said, and officers recovered a shotgun.

There were two other children in the home, Solomon said. The woman removed them from the house before officers arrived.

Halbisen reportedly was intoxicated and taken to the Auglaize County jail. None of the children were Halbisen’s children, Solomon said. The case remains under investigation.

participate nationwide.

States and local nonprofits in 27 states administer the program, while the federal government runs the remaining plans.

HHS said Tuesday that 18 states would transition to the federal plan.

A group that includes administrators of statebased plans has expressed concern to Sebelius that a likely consequence of the money crunch could be a cost shift to people in the program, resulting in sudden increases in premiums and copayments.

An industry group, the National Association of State Comprehensive Health Insurance Plans, also said in a letter that it feared “catastrophic disruption of coverage for these vulnerable individuals,” though the federal government doesn’t expect that to happen.

The switch to a federally operated program could be felt differently by patients across the states, said Michael Keough, the association’s chairman.

The federal proposal was about $12 million less than what was needed to ensure that those with serious medical problems could maintain their benefits, Ohio estimated.

The program, the PreExisting Condition Insurance Plan, targets patients who applied for insurance but were turned down because of such pre-existing conditions as cancer or heart disease.

The plan continues to provide important coverage to those with few alternatives, an HHS spokesman said Tuesday.

“These actions will help ensure the program’s smooth transition to 2014, when the new market reforms will be implemented and insurance companies will no longer be able to deny coverage because of preexisting conditions,” said agency spokesman Fabien Levy.

OUT OF THE BLUE

Riding to a new record CHICAGO (AP) — A manager of Chicago’s Navy Pier rode the tourist spot’s Ferris wheel for more than 2 days, bringing the world record for the longest ride to the birthplace of the amusement park favorite.

Clinton Shepherd spent 48 hours, 8 minutes and 25 seconds riding Navy Pier’s Ferris wheel over the weekend. Shepherd is park operations manager at Navy Pier.

He calls it “a very overwhelming experience,” made easier by the support of friends, family and the city of Chicago.

Guinness World Records allowed him to have one five-minute break each hour. He played hours of videogames to stay awake during the ride, and watched James Bond and Batman movies. Supporters followed him on Twitter.

The first Ferris wheel was built in 1893 in Chicago for the World’s Columbian Exposition.

WRECKAGE OF the Plaza Towers Elementary School in Moore, Okla., is pictured from a National Guard helicopter during a tour of tornado damaged areas by Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin, Tuesday.

Teachers credited with saving students

BY DAVID A. LIEB The Associated Press MOORE, Okla. (AP) — The principal’s voice came on over the intercom at Plaza Towers Elementary School: A severe storm was approaching and students were to go to the cafeteria and wait for their parents to pick them up.

But before all of the youngsters could get there, the tornado alarm sounded.

The plan changed quickly.

“All the teachers started screaming into the room and saying, ‘Get into the hallway!

We don’t want you to die!’ and stuff like that,” said sixthgrader Phaedra Dunn. “We just took off running.”

In the moments that followed, some of the children at Plaza Towers Elementary would, in fact, die. At least seven were killed by the twister Monday afternoon.

Others would crawl out of the rubble, bloodied and bruised, utterly terrified.

The tornado that devastated this Oklahoma City suburb of 56,000 people destroyed Plaza Towers and also slammed Briarwood Elementary, where all the children appear to have survived.

Students and parents recounted stories Tuesday of brave teachers who sheltered their pupils, in some cases by herding them into a closet and a restroom amid the fear and panic.

After the tornado alarm went off, students at Plaza Towers scrambled into the halls. But the halls — some of which were within the view of windows — did not appear safe enough.

Sixth-grader Antonio Clark said a teacher took him and as many other youngsters as possible and shoved them into the three-stall boys’ bathroom.

“We were all piled in on each other,” the 12-year-old said. Another teacher wrapped her arms around two students and held Antonio’s hand.

Twenty seconds later he heard a roar that sounded like a stampede of elephants. His ears popped.

Then it all stopped almost as suddenly as it started.

Crouched down, his backpack over his head, Antonio looked up. The skylight and the ceiling were gone, and he was staring up into a cloud filled with debris.

Antonio and a friend were among the first to stand up.

They climbed over debris where their classroom had been just moments earlier. Students and teachers were struggling to free themselves from under the bricks, wooden beams and insulation. Some people had bleeding head wounds; blood covered one side of someone’s eyeglasses, Antonio said.

“Everybody was crying,” Antonio said. “I was crying because I didn’t know if my family was OK.” Then Antonio saw his father ride up on a mountain bike, yelling his son’s name.

Phaedra survived, too. Her mother rushed to the school just moments before the tornado hit, covered Phaedra’s head with a blanket to protect her from hail and ushered her out the door. Phaedra’s 10year-old sister, Jenna, didn’t want to budge from the school.

The principal “grabbed her backpack, put it over her head and literally said, ‘You’re mom’s going to open the door.

Get out. You’re safer with your mom,’ and pushed her out the door,” said Amy Sharp, the girls’ mother.

At Briarwood Elementary, the students also went into the halls. But a third-grade

TORNADO tary school to a heaping mound of rubble and heavily damaged another while also flattening block after block of homes. Officials earlier said more than 50 people had died, including 20 children.

The medical examiner’s office revised that death toll Tuesday morning, saying some victims were maybe counted twice in the initial confusion after the storm.

At St. Andrews United Methodist Church, parents stared into the distance as they waited, some holding the hands of young children who were missing siblings.

Tonya Sharp and Deanna Wallace sat at a table in the church’s gymnasium waiting for their teenage daughters.

As Sharp and Wallace spoke, a line of students walked in.

Wallace spotted her 16year-old daughter, who came quickly her way and jumped into her mother’s arms, pushing her several steps backward in the process. But Sharp didn’t see her daughter, a 17-year-old who has epilepsy. She worried her daughter hadn’t taken her medicine.

teacher didn’t think it looked safe, so she herded some of the children into a closet, said David Wheeler, one of the fathers who tried to rush to the school after the tornado hit.

The teacher shielded Wheeler’s 8-year-old son, Gabriel, with her arms and held him down as the tornado collapsed the school roof and starting lifting students upward with a pull so strong that it literally sucked glasses off kids’ faces, Wheeler said.

“She saved their lives by putting them in a closet and holding their heads down,” Wheeler said.

Gabriel and the teacher — whom Wheeler identified as Julie Simon — had to dig their way out of the rubble. The boy’s back was cut and bruised and gravel was embedded in his head, Wheeler said. It took nearly three hours for father and son to be reunited.

Other parents waited even longer, as they drove from one emergency shelter to another in search of their children.

At St. Andrews United Methodist Church, 15-year-old Caitlin Ulrey waited about seven hours before her parents found her. Her high school had not been hit by the tornado.

But her nerves were frayed.

“I was starting to panic and shake and have an anxiety attack,” Caitlin said.

At Plaza Towers, several students were pulled alive from under a collapsed wall and other heaps of mangled debris. Rescue workers passed the survivors down a human chain of parents and neighborhood volunteers. Parents carried dazed and terrified children in their arms to a triage center in the parking lot.

Hundreds of Oklahoma schools have reinforced tornado shelters, but not the two that were hit on Monday.

From Page 1 “I don’t know where she’s at,” Sharp said. Later, she went to speak to officials who helped her register so she could be notified as soon as her daughter was found.

Shelli Smith had to walk miles to find her children.

She was reunited with her 14-year-old daughter, Tiauna, around 5 p.m. Monday, but hadn’t yet seen her 16-yearold son, TJ, since he left for school that morning.

TJ’s phone had died, but he borrowed a classmate’s phone to tell his mother where he was. However, Smith couldn’t get to him due to the roadblocks. So she parked her car and started walking.

It took her three hours, but a little after sunset, she found him. She grabbed her son and squeezed him in a tight hug that lasted for several seconds before letting go.

TJ hugged his sister, and then hugged his mom again.

The family had a long walk back to their car and then home, but she said she didn’t mind.

“I was trying to get him and they wouldn’t let me,”

she said, adding later: “I was like, ‘You know what? I’m going to get my son.’”

Renee Lee summed up the struggle for many parents with multiple children — find the ones who they hadn’t yet seen, while calming the younger ones they had with them.

Lee is the mother of two daughters Sydney Walker, 16, and Hannah Lee, 8. When the storm came, she tried to pick Sydney up from school. Sydney told her on the phone that they wouldn’t let her come in. While Lee and her younger daughter waited in their home, which wasn’t hit, Sydney was safe in the room at a local high school.

Lee said she believed Sydney wasn’t hurt and seemed resigned to the severe weather outbreaks.

“There’s been so many of them, it doesn’t even faze me,” she said. “You just do what you gotta do. It’s part of living here.”

——— Associated Press reporters Jeannie Nuss and Chuck Bartels in Little Rock, Ark., contributed to this report.

MOORE, Okla. (AP) — Helmeted rescue workers raced Tuesday to complete the search for survivors and the dead in the Oklahoma City suburb where a mammoth tornado destroyed countless homes, cleared lots down to bare red earth and claimed 24 lives, including those of nine children.

Scientists concluded the storm was a rare and extraordinarily powerful type of twister known as an EF5, ranking it at the top of the scale used to measure tornado strength. Those twisters are capable of lifting reinforced buildings off the ground, hurling cars like missiles and stripping trees completely free of bark.

Residents of Moore began returning to their homes a day after the tornado smashed some neighborhoods into jagged wood scraps and gnarled pieces of metal. In place of their houses, many families found only empty lots.

After nearly 24 hours of searching, the fire chief said he was confident there were no more bodies or survivors in the rubble.

“I’m 98 percent sure we’re good,” Gary Bird said at a news conference with the governor, who had just completed an aerial tour of the disaster zone.

Authorities were so focused on the search effort that they had yet to establish the full scope of damage along the storm’s long, ruinous path.

FBI ID’s suspects WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. has identified five men who might be responsible for the attack on the diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya, last year, and has enough evidence to justify seizing them by military force as suspected terrorists, officials say. But there isn’t enough proof to try them in a U.S. civilian court as the Obama administration prefers.

The men remain at large while the FBI gathers evidence. But the investigation has been slowed by the reduced U.S. intelligence presence in the region since the Sept. 11, 2012, attacks, and by the limited ability to assist by Libya’s post-revolutionary law enforcement and intelligence agencies, which are still in their infancy since the overthrow of dictator Col. Moammar Gadhafi.

The decision not to seize the men militarily underscores the White House aim to move away from hunting terrorists as enemy combatants and holding them at the military prison in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. The preference is toward a process in which most are apprehended and tried by the countries where they are living or arrested by the U.S. with the host country’s cooperation and tried in the U.S. criminal justice system. Using military force to detain the men might also harm fledgling relations with Libya and other post-ArabSpring governments with whom the U.S. is trying to build partnerships to hunt alQaida as the organization expands throughout the region.

A senior administration official said the FBI has identified a number of individuals that it believes have information or may have been involved, and is considering options to bring those responsible to justice. But taking action in remote eastern Libya would be difficult.

America’s relationship with Libya would be weighed as part of those options, the official said, speaking only on condition of anonymity because the official was not authorized to discuss the effort publicly.

He said that his parents were driving him to the airport and that he would write to me just as soon as he got back to his San Diego base. I know that I have no reason to be depressed and upset, but that’s exactly the way I feel. I think all he wanted was a pen pal and to be able to say, “I got mail” when mail was passed out to the sailors.

I know he will start writing to me again.

What should I do?

My sister thinks I should write, “Return to Sender” on the envelope and send them back to him unopened. This will send a message that I’m not satisfied with about an hour of his time and one cup of coffee with pie.

My mother thinks I should continue writing to him because she thinks he is “such a cute and polite boy.” What is your opinion? — Nameless, Baltimore, Md. NAMELESS: Continue writing to Matt.

You might not be his “girlfriend” at this time, but I’m sure you still consider him to be a friend. Matt does care for you and considers you a special friend.

Keep your letters full of local happenings and forget about romance even if his letters again start to get “romantic.”

He will be in Baltimore on leave again in the future. The time spent with him at that time will determine if you two will have a romantic future or just remain good friends.

Versailles team wins in stock challenge DAYTON — Some sharp students managed big returns in the Ohio Stock Market Challenge (OSMC) this spring.

Nearly 200 teams from across Ohio competed, with teams of two to five students given $100,000 in imaginary dollars to invest over a 10-week period.

The team from Versailles finished first in the high school division with $114,327 in its portfolio. A team of students from Fort Loramie Elementary School grew its portfolio to $108, 754 and won the middle school division. Cash prizes of $100, $75 and $50 were

awarded to the top three teams in each division.

“They gained a much better understanding for what the stock market is, what it represents and how it could affect their personal finances in the future, whether it be in investing, retirement funds or college savings,” said Amy Carman, government/economics teacher at Versailles High School.

“I was really impressed because they didn’t just throw a dart at the wall when they made their picks,” said Jonathon Mahilo, a recent grad who earned his degree in finance. “A lot of them stuck with the products they knew, that they were familiar with.

FL Historical Association learns of facility repairs FORT LORAMIE — Members of the Fort Loramie Historical Association heard facility reports during their meeting May 16 in the Wilderness Trail museum.

A three-part mirror in the dress shop that fell over and broke in 2011 has been repaired by Ted Bornhorst and returned to its usual position.

Earlier this year the sump pump failed, and the basement flooded, ruining two water heaters. Through the efforts of Don Gusching and Jim Rosengarten, the association learned, a new sump pump and two water heaters were installed. The water is back on and the restrooms are again operational.

Rapid Development replaced the roof and donated its labor.

The summer schedule was discussed. The museum will be open on Sundays from 1 to 4 p.m.

in June, July and August. Tours can be arranged for other times and the museum is available for anyone doing genealogical research. There will be some new displays, including the giant quilt made in 1976 by members of the community for the bicentennial.

The meeting was attended by former resident Harry Boerger and his wife, Rita. Harry reported that he has collected hundreds of photos of local scenes and is planning to make them available to the public on CDs. The museum, containing 10 rooms of artifacts and photos pertaining to the Fort Loramie area, was built

by H.H. Dressmann in 1853 and began as a tavern and hotel catering to the traffic on the Miami Erie Canal. The bar room contains an antique bar and original fireplace. The cases in

the military room contain items from the World Wars and the Civil War besides some Native American tools and a model of a typical early French trader’s store, built by Wesley Kiefer. There is also a dress shop and a music room containing a Steinway piano and an organ from the former Emanual Reformed Church.

The room that was once the town library and before that the post office is set up as a general store with many items from the old Willman’s Department Store. Upstairs, two rooms are decorated as a dining room and a parlor. The Quinlin bedroom and the Goldie French doll collection are exhibited, along with the original architect’s drawing of St. Michael’s Church.

Health board plans levy The Sidney-Shelby County Board of Health has taken the first step toward putting a levy on the Nov. 5 ballot.

The board voted last week to request the Shelby County auditor to certify the assessed valuation and the amount of money that would be generated by a levy. Health Commissioner Steven Tostrick said the department health currently has a 0.3mill levy, and the board is considering a replacement levy.

Tostick said after the certificate is received

from the auditor, the board is expected to take action at the June 19 meeting to place the levy on the ballot.

After it was reviewed by the county prosecutor’s office, the board voted to approve Tostrick’s contact, which approved last was month pending the review. His salary remains at $76,897.

In other business the board: • Granted a variance requested by Jeff Noah, 9550 Tawawa-Maplewood Road, Maplewood, to build an addition to the house that would be

within eight feet of the septic tank. It was noted such variance had been granted in the past.

• Approved the renewel of a nutritional services contract with Wilson Memorial Hospital.

• Approved a 2013 Litter Collection and Prevention Grant from the Ohio EPA. • Voted to condemn the property at 2805 Wapakoneta Ave., Lot 76.

• Approved the renewal of a VaxCare contract renewal, stipulating that the health commissioner only be required to sign for high doses.

YOUR DENTAL HEALTH

What causes those grooves at the bottom of my teeth?

By Dr. Jeff Van Treese

M

any people start to develop small, wedge-shaped grooves in their teeth when they approach middle age. Dentists often call these “lesions” toothbrush abrasions which gives the patient the impression they have damaged their teeth by brushing too hard. This is not the case. The term toothbrush abrasion is from days gone by when most people Jeff Van Treese, D.D.S. used a hard bristle toothbrush and used a side to side brushing technique. It seemed like a logical cause for the grooves but today we know differently. So what’s really happening?

Twelve years ago, Dr. John Grippo, proposed his theory for a phenomenon called “abfraction,” which explains what’s happening with these teeth. Essentially, when biting forces do not occur in harmony with how the tooth was designed to function, abnormal repetitive stress is created that fractures the enamel of the tooth at it’s weakest point… the neck of the tooth. Being a slow process, occuring over a long period of time and at microscopic levels, receeding gums and/or sensitive

teeth are usually the 1st signs of epfraction. Because this flexing becomes progressively worse as the tooth weakens, as the lesions get deeper. Fillings may not stay in very well unless the abnormal bite that caused the problem to begin with is corrected.

Biting forces are not the only thing that cause these grooves to deepen…. Acids created by diet, plaque, acid reflux disease, etc., cause corrosion that hastens the tooth destruction caused by abfraction.

These areas can be repaired by bonding tooth colored resins, often without the need for numbing.

Filling these grooves can slow down the destruction to the tooth that is injured by abfraction, and careful adjustment of the bite can greatly reduce the abfraction. So, when we see these grooves, it’s important to fill them, though a more permanent solution may be to have your bite adjusted. This process is called an equilibration.

McCracken ends teaching life

BY PATRICIA ANN SPEELMAN pspeelman@ civitasmedia.com When Jim McCracken, of Anna, retires this spring, Sidney City Schools will lose a longtime teacher, but it won’t lose its award-winning high school wrestling coach — yet.

McCracken plans to lead the team for at least one more year.

“We have a lot of top-notch student athletes on this year’s squad that are returning,” he said. “I would love to see them win the GWOC North for the third year in a row.”

McCracken will end a 35year teaching career that began in Versailles, where he taught fifth grade at St. Denis School for a year. That was followed with two years as a fifth-grade science and language arts teacher at Bridgeview, 10 years of teaching fifth-grade science and reading at Northwood, nine years of teaching world geography at Bridgeview, and 13 years as the physical education teacher of seventh- and eighth-graders at Bridgeview and Northwood.

He has been the head wrestling coach at SHS for 34 years.

Remarkable athletes He has led some remarkable athletes in that time.

Brandon Luce was a state champion in 2002 and 2003.

The team ranked 12th in the state in 2002. McCracken captured the league championship six times, in 1989, 1996, 1997, 2001, 2012 and 2013. The team was the league runner-up 13 times under McCracken and was the regional runner-up in the 2013 Team Dual Tournament.

He has been named conference coach of the year more than once.

But ask McCracken what the highlights of his career have been, and the first thing he mentions is a teaching program.

“The Wellness Program that Lori Hedberg, Adam Tay-

“I have been blessed to coach a sport I have a passion for,” McCracken said. “I had a dream, a goal, to be a wrestling coach when I was a senior in high school. I guess you might say I’ve had the opportunity to live out a dream.

I’m going to miss the wrestlers when I hang up coaching forever.”

Wrestling high mark

McCracken lor, Tina Hottle and I began,” he listed. “It was fun to watch kids enjoy the activities we offered and improve during their fitness workouts. It was fun to teach in a program that was years ahead of its time. It was a real shame that such a program ended. I loved my job during that time period.”

Credits fellow teachers McCracken credits fellow teachers, too, when he discusses high points.

“I have had the privilege to teach with many outstanding educators over the years,” he said. “People like Linda DeVelvis, Maggy Williams, Lori Hedberg, Steve Corbin, Adam Taylor, Tina Hottle, Nancy Bell, Linda Kramer, Cheryl Michael, Lori Billing are just a few of the teachers that made my job easier when reaching students over the years. I have also been lucky to have had many great assistant coaches like John Hosack, Joe Spangler, Randy Echols and Tony Wagner at the junior high level that helped with the program for decades. I really think having those coaches in their same positions for so many years made Sidney wrestling so successful.”

He thinks coaching and teaching for 34 years in his home town is his biggest accomplishment.

The coach hit a high mark of 300 dual wins in wrestling this past winter.

“That’s an honor for every wrestler that stepped on the mat for Sidney High from 1980 to 2013. Wrestlers own their season when they compete. I have just had the chance to try to make them better individually and as a team,” he said.

Among his most memorable students, he listed Brad Rogers.

“My favorite wrestler ever to coach was Brad,” McCracken said. “He was dedicated, hard working and just a pleasure to coach. Alex William, a sophomore on this year’s team, ranks up there high, also. Steven Jones, a wrestler I found in PE, had a nice career. He was the most thankful kid I ever coached.

Wrestlers like Jacob Sharp, a senior on this year’s team, I will never forget. He didn’t have the greatest skill level, but he had a big heart and was a good worker. A lot of times in life, that means more.”

The teacher also remembered a gifted and talented social studies class he led. His students were so good that they completed a research project that proved a college professor’s research was incorrect.

As the years have passed, McCracken has seen changes in the kids in his classrooms.

“I think our society has made students that exhibit less respect for adults,” he said. “Technology, texting, the Net, email — the list is endless, but all these take away from good old-fashioned conversation. I feel our at-risk

student population is rising.

Students need to realize their education is in their hands.

They control their own future.

Teachers give students the opportunity to become successful, but it takes a lot of hard work on (the students’) part.

Going through the motions at school does not and will not bring a bright future to any student.”

McCracken grew up in Orange Township and graduated from Sidney High in 1974. He earned a Bachelor of Science from Urbana College in 1978, where he was subsequently named to the school’s hall of fame. His master’s degree came in 1985 from the University of Dayton.

Family ties McCracken has been married for 27 years to his wife, Elaine, and they have raised three children: Dan, a zoologist at Animal Kingdom; Derek, who graduated from Ohio State University this spring and plans to teach next fall; and Summer, who graduates this year from Anna High School and will attend Ohio State in the fall.

The only regrets he has concern the time he has not spent with his family throughout his career.

“I have lost a lot of quality family time,” he said. “I wish I could have invested more in my own family. Sometimes I would spend more time with the youth of Sidney than with my own kids. My wife, Elaine, is a saint. She picked up the slack for me on many occasions. Thanks, Elaine!”

He also wishes he had written a book on all “the fun and unusual things students and wrestlers came up with over the years. It would be a best seller,” he added.

McCracken’s plans for retirement include another year of coaching and spending summer in his garden.

“After that, I’m open,” he laughed. “If a business or company owner would like to employ a past teacher/coach, give me a call. My number is in the book.”

Johnson wraps up 38 years

BY KYLE HAYDEN From film strips to the Smart Board, the technology used in teaching children changes through the years, but the spirit that brings education to the minds of children has not.

After a total of 38 years in the classroom, Cyndie Johnson, of Sidney, is retiring this year.

She has served the Sidney City Schools for the past 20 years.

Johnson began teaching first and second graders as a paid intern during her senior year of college in the Plain School District, Canton.

After five years, she moved to Salem, where she taught at West Branch Local schools. She then moved to Sidney, where she taught kindergarten at Parkwood School. After it closed, she finished her career at Whittier Elementary.

“Spending the last 20 years in Sidney, I have been able to watch many of my students grow into their teenage years and graduate,” said Johnson, “It always brings a smile to my

face when I hear of their success or see how much they had grown.”

During the course of her career, Johnson taught youngsters in kindergarten through second grade but said her passion lay in “helping children through their first year of elementary school, seeing how much the students grow academically before we said goodbye at the end of the year.

“My life has been blessed with understanding teachers and role models to help mold and influence me as I answered the call to teach,” Johnson said.

She exuded an enthusiasm for teaching that was sustained throughout her career.

“Teaching is a challenging career that does not allow one to become complacent,” she said. A key to classroom success has been in reacting to change in a positive way, she said, whether to changes in education or technology. She noted this helped guide her through her years as a teacher.

“I always reminded myself my job was to teach, and not

Johnson get caught up in any outside things that might be going on,” Johnson said.

Since the beginning of her career, when overhead film projectors were used, to now, when touch-responsive Smart Boards are used as 21st century chalkboards, Johnson has adapted.

“Sometimes change was the only constant, and I believe

there cannot be growth without change,” she said.

Johnson lives with her husband, Greg, who is a former principal of Sidney High School and Northwood Intermediate.

The couple have two daughters, both of whom were covaledictorians of their graduating classes at Sidney High.

The elder, Erin, works in Los Angeles as a television producer, while Molly is in graduate school at Eastern Kentucky University, preparing to be an occupational therapist.

Johnson has an eight-yearold chocolate labrador, Beckly, that “keeps the nest far from empty.”

Having answered the opening bell at school every year since 1959, Johnson worries about her days in retirement.

“I am sure there will be an empty feeling when there won’t be an eager group of new learners this coming August, but I believe that God has another set of plans for me so I can best use the gifts and talents that He has bestowed upon me.”

Historical Society to host Volkswalk here Monday Ohio Wander Freunde, of Fairborn, has teamed with the Shelby County Historical Society to host a Volkswalk in Sidney Monday.

A Volkswalk is a free walk, mapped by a walking club through a particular area.

Walkers follow a marked trail.

“Volk” means “folk” in German. The philosophy is to walk with friends and family for the health of it. A window of time is offered for starting and finishing, but it is not a race.

The Monday walk will begin at the Ross Historical

Center, 201 N. Main Ave. Walkers may register and begin at any time between 9 a.m. and noon.

All walkers must register and carry a start card to be stamped at check points. Finish time is 3 p.m. The walk is a 5K in length.

For a $3 fee, walkers can get the International Volkssport Verbund stamp in their books.

Starter packets, distance, and event books will be available for a nominal fee the day of the walk. When registered walkers have completed a certain number of events and kilome-

ters, books are sent to the American Volkssport Association. In return, they receive certificates of accomplishment, patches and hat pins.

One 5K trail will go through architecturally historic areas of Sidney including Walnut Street, the court square, Crescent Drive, the Iron Bridge and Big Four Bridge, and Clay Street.

The Parks of Sidney 5K loop follows city streets to Stolle Bridge over the Great Miami River to the paved walk/bike path around Custenborder Field and then

through Tawawa Park.

Walkers can do one or both trails.

Volkswalks take place in countries all around the world.

Walkers can complete itineraries based on the alphabet, the 50 state capitals, architectural elements and more. The Sidney walk could attract walkers from throughout the west central Ohio and eastern Indiana areas.

For additional information about volkswalking clubs and other events, contact Carol Yegerlehner at (937) 878-8381 or KLOCKHAUS@aol.com.

As every American knows, the IRS wields immense power, a power that is going to grow even more under the authority granted it

by ObamaCare. For it to use that power against people solely for exercising their most basic, fundamental right of free speech is chilling.

Chief Justice John Marshall once wrote that the power to tax is the power to destroy. It is doubtful he ever imagined this power would be directed at the First Amendment.

The IRS was not the only government department overstepping its authority. News reports indicate that Kathleen Sebelius, the head of Health and Human Services, solicited donations from companies that HHS oversees to fund enrollment efforts related to the health care insurance exchanges established by ObamaCare.

At best, this appears to be an inherent conflict of interest. At worst, it is a potentially illegal augmentation of the appropriations process established by the Constitution. But no matter what the case, companies and organizations should never be pressured for money because it sends the message that contributions are necessary to secure favorable regulatory decisions — creating a “pay to play” environment — or to avoid regulatory reprisals. It is astonishing that the administration would ignore this most basic rule of good government.

On top of all this, news broke this week of a widespread inquiry launched by the Department of Justice into the Associated Press. Two months of telephone records were seized, in an investigation the head of the AP — one of America’s most respected news sources — called a “massive and unprecedented intrusion” into an organization known for investigative reporting.

A free press has always been a bulwark of freedom in this country, and it is critical that the administration explain the purpose of this investigation, whether it is ongoing, and if a judge or grand jury signed off on these actions.

The American people should be able to put their faith and their trust in their elected leaders. These four incidents have shaken that trust in ways that will reverberate for years to come. One might be an aberration, two a curiosity, three a coincidence, but four such events indicate a pattern and at the very least, incompetence at the highest levels of our government. Mere apologies are not sufficient.

The American people deserve the truth about the attack in Benghazi and its aftermath as well as what occurred at the IRS, HHS and DOJ. Only when we get to the bottom of these incidents can we begin to rebuild the bridge of trust between us as citizens and our federal government in Washington, D.C.

ing schools are compensated accordingly. In west central Ohio, we have the highest amount of farm receipts and our land is high valued. The high valued land incorrectly made our per-capita wealth appear higher than suburban and urban areas.

We have the best schools in Ohio, and they will continue to be the best, but we should be rewarding the high performance as opposed to funding our tax dollars to the suburban and urban districts. As a result of the work done on the Ohio House Finance and Appropriations Committee, the funding formula was recrafted to include a measurement of agriculture which increased funding to rural schools and dramatically re-

duced the number of schools on the guarantee across the state.

Communication with school leaders, such as superintendents and treasurers, is a critical part of the process.

Those meetings and conversations help us to understand how education is going in Mercer, Auglaize, Darke and Shelby counties. The input from local school administrators was helpful in crafting the final funding plan.

The budget is now being considered by the Ohio Senate. Your input is helpful at all times.

TO THE EDITOR

Wind turbines incompatible with farming When offered more turbines, he declined, stating he wouldn’t have gotten the first ones had he known. Farmers have a right to do what they want on their own property, but they do not have a right to put up a wind turbine which may deprive their neighbor of their livelihood, income they get from farming. Can the county be sued for approving this as an unfair business practice?

Will your neighbor sue you to recover damages they’ll suffer from decreased yields and increased costs because of your turbine?

Soil compaction and crushed field tiles from heavy cranes is permanent and occurs repeatedly during 60-year

leases. Tile removal and raised access roads in fields create drainage nightmares. Farmers seldom get the same yields after destroying their fields with wind turbines. Wind turbines are completely incompatible with farming.

You choose - farm or place an industrial power plant in the middle of a once-productive field. You cannot do both. It’s inexcusable for Shelby County to ignore evidence from victims of other wind farms. Deny permits that will endanger the health, safety and livelihood of your citizens. Learn more at Windaction.

it is for someone with a history of coronary blockage to have a low LDL level when you factor in quality-of-life issues? — D.S. ANSWER: I have always recommended a careful evaluation of the balance between the good effects of a medication and the bad effects. Your story is a good example of a time when this principle applies.

You should compare your husband’s overall health when taking pravastatin at the lower dose — a resulting LDL of 100 but with no side effects — against the Crestor or higher dose of

pravastatin that has side effects but gave him a lower HDL. On the good side, a lower LDL means a slight but significant drop in the risk of cardiac events. On the bad side, the quality of both your lives dropped significantly — and not slightly.

In my mind, there is no question that your husband should take the lower dose of pravastatin, enjoy life and do the exercise — which, as you correctly point out, also reduces his risk of future heart and health problems. Medication should prolong life without making life seem no longer worth living.

L.M. Studevant, who has been present at the recent meeting held in Dayton for the purpose of perfecting an organization throughout the Miami Valley, outlined the plans and thinking along this line. A permanent organization was perfected by electing a Shelby county committee, composed of L.M. Studevant, Martin Quinlisk, Joseph A. Clem, Elmer Kiser, and W.B. McCabe. Mr. Clem was named secretary of the local group.

——— Governor Cox yesterday reappointed W.A. Graham, of this city, one of the trustees of Miami university at Oxford. Mr. Graham was one of the appointments made by Governor Harmon last December.

75 years May 22, 1938 Approval of the plan to have 64 thirty-minute parking spaces around the pu8blic square and nearby streets was given by city council at its meeting last evening. The plan is to set aside two to four parking spaces within each block. These will have a time limit of 30 minutes and will be clearly marked as such.

These will give the “in and out” customer a chance to get his or her shopping done quickly and not have to search for a parking space. In other business, a resolution instructing the director of service and safety to discontinue fire protection to the residents of Clinton township outside the city limits of Sidney, was passed unanimously.

Sidney’s Courter named at Indian Lake

BY KEN BARHORST kbarhorst@civitasmedia.com Sidney High School athletic director Jeff Courter was approved for the same position by the I n d i a n Lake Board of Education Monday night.

Courter, Shelby a County native who graduated Courter from Houston High School, was with the Sidney school system for 18 years, starting out as an athletic trainer. For the past five years he has been the AD. Courter was hired as AD

when Pat O’Donnell was the superintendent of Sidney City Schools. The two will now be reunited, since O’Donnell is now the superintendent of Indian Lake Schools.

“Really, it was just changes in my life with my family,” said Courter Tuesday. “I felt I needed to make a change professionally. I was looking for some new challenges, and I think it’s a good opportunity over there.”

Courter said the move made sense because his wife teaches in Wapakoneta, and “we’re probably going to move up that way.”

“Over the last couple of years, I’ve been offered a couple of positions that I really didn’t apply for, so I didn’t pursue them,” he said. “But things have changed in my life. I’ll be doing much the same thing at

Indian Lake, deal with the same issues. The main thing to learn will be procedural, how they do things there compared to here.”

Indian Lake is a member of the Central Buckeye Conference, which also includes such schools at Bellfontaine and Urbana. So Courter has had dealings with some of the league’s ADs in the past.

“I’m pretty comfortable with that conference,” he said, “We do a lot of crossover games with them and I’ve made a lot of friends among the ADs. So I think the transition will be smooth from that standpoint.”

Courter saw a lot accomplished during his tenure as the AD. “I started off with a goal list,” he said. “There were things like the weight room

and improving the baseball field, and I think a lot of those things have gone through. Now it looks like the (artifical) turf will be in (football stadium), and that’s an incredible accomplishment for that committee.

“Sidney has incredible boosters, and the businesses have been outstanding to me and the school district,” he added. “They are always supportive. I just hope I’ve been a positive influence on the kids here.”

Sidney schools superintendent John Scheu said a committee has already been formed and will meet soon.

“First off, let me say that Jeff Courter had been an excellent athletic director for Sidney City Schools,” Scheu said. “He will be missed and we wish him nothing but the best. We have formed an in-

terview team, we have posted the job internally and on the Dayton consortium.”

The interview team will consist of Scheu, SHS principal Jon Geuy, Dave Ross, Sidney teacher and track coach Ruth Baker and alternative school principal and wrestling coach Clayton Westerbeck.

Scheu said the team will meet to discuss criteria, but he offered his own views on what he wants to see.

“I feel it will be important that someone is hired that has a connection to Sidney, has been a successful coach, and knows Sidney,” he said.

“But that doesn’t cast out candidates from the outside.”

The next board of education meeting is June 17 and the team would like to have a candidate to recommend at that meeting.

JOHN TOLLEFSON (right) talks to Lehman High School boys basketball players and their parents at a meeting called Mon-

day night. Tollefson was named Monday to be Lehman’s new head boys basketball coach.

Lehman names two new head basketball coaches

BY KEN BARHORST kbarhorst@civitasmedia.com John Tollefson wasn’t going to let the opportunity go by again.

A Cincinnati Moeller graduate, Tollefson said he thought about applying for the Lehman boys basketball job when it came open three years ago. But the posting said “previous experience required,” or something to that affect, and it scared him off.

Not this time, however.

Tollefson not only applied for the job, but he got it, athletic director Dick Roll announcing the decision Monday.

Tollefson was the head coach at Dayton Northridge last season and guided the team to an 11-13 record. That might not sound like much, but as Tollefson said, “Those 11 wins actually equalled the total from the previous two years,” so he was pleased with it. “We had a good year,” he said.

Prior to being the head coach at Northridge, Tollefson was an assistant coach for one year at Vandalia Butler. And he has 15 years of AAU coaching experience.

“We had three secondround candidates,” Roll said

Tollefson

Hall

Monday. “John is what we were looking for in a coach.

He will be dedicated, he’s big on getting the kids in the weight room, he’s enthusiastic and he will have discipline.”

Tollefson was one of two head coaches Roll announced on Monday. The other is Craig Hall, a Houston graduate who moved up from being an assistant coach last season to being the head coach this season.

Tollefson, said he “feels lucky.”

“I had a great experience at Vandalia,” he began. “They were supportive and gave me a chance to move on. And the Northridge people were great.

I never realized how hard it would be to leave there.”

He said he moved to the Urbana area three years ago.

His wife is the executive administrator at a nursing home in Urbana, and is expecting

the couple’s first child in October.

Tollefson said that when the baby arrives, he will be a stay-at-home dad “until the little one is ready to go.”

While he’s doing that, he said he will be finishing up his degree in liberal arts, with a minor in history.

As for Xs and Os, the Cavaliers can plan on pushing the ball up the floor, but with a twist.

“The fun thing is, everybody’s eyes light up when you say you love to push the ball,” Tollefson said. “I love to and I let my big guys handle it.

You’ll see them out on the break with it. But in the half court, I believe in the old Indiana style, where I want to tire you out by screening you to death.

“Defensively, I’m traditionally man-to-man, but halfway through the season last year at Northridge, we changed,” he added. “You have to adapt to your talent. And I’m also big on the kids being tough.”

New girls coach The reigns of the girls program have been turned over to Hall, an assistant last year with the Lady Cavs.

Hall, a lifelong dairy farmer, played basketball at

Houston and went on to be a 1,000-point scorer at Wilmington College.

This is his first head coaching job.

“I coached a lot of these girls at Holy Angels,” said Hall. “I’ve coached a lot of basketball camps, a lot of junior high, and I was an assistant coach for a year at Wilmington College. I have a passion for the game and I thought last year was a very positive experience. I felt like we were just starting to mesh when the season ended.”

One thing Hall will have to address quickly is numbers — Lehman did not have enough girls for a junior varsity team last year.

“I had a meeting with all the underclassmen (Monday morning),” he said. “It was kind of a quick chat, and I encouraged them to talk with girls that played on the team last year. My approach to coaching is positive reinforcement. If I get upset, you can bet there’s a real good reason for it.

“I’m hoping to bring a new attitude and approach to the girls basketball program,” he added. “It’s been successful in the past and I hope to lead it back in that direction.”

Three named most valuable at JC JACKSON CENTER — Jackson Center High School recognized its spring sports athletes with an awards night recently, honoring participants in boys and girls track, baseball and softball.

There were several top awards handed out.

In baseball, the best offensive player was Gavin Wildermuth and the best defensive player award went to Alex Meyer.

In softball, Hannah Meyer was named most valuable, Meredith Himmeger best offensive and Courtney Gies won the Tiger Award.

In boys track, the most valuable athlete award went

to Tyler Lett, and the Coaches Award went to Daulton Faulder.

And in girls track, the most valuable athlete award went to Pauline Meyer, and the Coaches Award to Nicole Fogt.

The Ohio Scholastic Soccer Coaches Association has recognized the Lehman High School girls soccer team for All-Ohio Academic honors for the fall season.

Teams whose members all earn a 3.0 grade-point average or better qualify for the award.

In presenting the certificates to athletic director Dick Roll, George Hunter of the OSSCA said “we hope that you are proud of your students, who were able to combine academics and athletics in such an admirable fashion.”

Not only did every member of the team have more than a 3.0 average, but the team’s grade point average was more than 3.0.

In the final OSSCA poll of the season, Lehman was tied for 10th in Division III and finished with a 14-2 record.

“This year’s team combined excellence in the classroom with skill on the playing field as well as any team I’ve ever coached,” said Lehman girls soccer coach Tony Schroeder.

“This team shows that they not only have a passion for soccer, but a priority for academic excellence.”

The team members include Madeline Franklin, Stephany McEldowney, Taylor Lachey, Karly Baird, Grace Frantz, Jenna Kronenberger, Maria Schroeder, Sarah Titterington, Taylor Schmidt, Allie Hall, Emma Jacomet, Elizabeth Edwards, Kassie Lee, Emily Reinhart, Claudia Fatone, Sara Fuller, Lauren Goettemoeller, Olivia Sehlhorst, Jordi Emrick, McKenna Guillozet, Olivia Gorman, Ashley Keller, Ana Vasquez and Lexxe Grise.

LHS boosters golf outing set for Oaks June 30 The 22nd annual Lehman High School Athletic Boosters Golf Outing will be held June 30 at Shelby Oaks, starting with lunch at noon.

Golf will begin with a shotgun start at 1 p.m.

There will be a hole-in-one contest with a chance to win a two-year lease on a new Ford Taurus from Buckeye Ford Lincoln Mercury in Sidney.

The cost is $95 per player and you can sign up as individuals or as a team.

There are also company, business or individual sponsorship levels available.

Checks should be made payable to the Lehman Athletic Boosters, and the deadline is June 9.

Houston, Russia girls fall Cavs win in sectional softball finals NBA draft

WEST LIBERTY — A controversial call led to Triad getting the goahead run in the fourth inning, and the Houston Lady Wildcats wound up Holthaus dropping a 5-1 verdict in Division IV Sectional final softball play at West LibTuesday erty-Salem afternoon.

The loss ended the Lady Wildcats’ season with a final 19-9 mark.

Triad, which had to forfeit some 15 games it played during the season due to an ineligible player, advances to the district championship Saturday at Brookville against the BradfordAnsonia winner.

Both teams plated a run in the first, and it stayed at 1-1 until the top of the fourth. With two out, Houston pitcher Kayla New thought she had a strikeout, but was called for an illegal pitch.

With new life, the batter rapped an RBI single to put Triad up 2-1.

An inning later, with two out and nobody on, Triad struck for three, the big blow being a tworun homer by Ober.

Houston, meanwhile, was getting the bat on the ball, but usually hitting it right at someone.

The Lady Wildcats had just one hit, but only struck out three times.

“We hit the ball, but right at them,” said Houston coach Brent New. Houston’s only hit came in the seventh on a double by Macey Stang.

Stang also came on in relief in the fifth and pitched 21/3 innings without allowing a run.

She struck out three.

“I thought both our pitchers did a good job,” said New. The game brought an end to a memorable season for Houston senior Nicolette Holthaus.

She wound up just one hit shy of the school record with 42, tied the school record with 13 doubles, and also tied the school record with 38 runs scored.

But perhaps most impressive this season is that in 108 at-bats, she did not strike out a single time.

lottery again NEW YORK (AP) — Nick Gilbert and the Cleveland Cavaliers have beaten the NBA lottery odds again.

The Cavaliers won the lottery for the second time in three years Tuesday, giving them the No. 1 pick for the June 27 draft.

Gilbert, owner Dan Gilbert’s bowtie-wearing son, was on stage for another the victory. After he won it in 2011, the Cavs used the pick to take eventual Rookie of the Year Kyrie Irving.

The Orlando Magic fell back one spot to No. 2, while the Washington Wizards vaulted from the No. 8 spot to third.

Ten years after winning the lottery that landed them LeBron James, the Cavaliers picked up another opportunity to help speed up the rebuilding process since his departure to Miami in 2010.

pick this year, Kentucky freshman Nerlens Noel, is no James. But he could be a nice addition for the Cavs once he’s recovered from a torn ACL — if they keep the pick.

Dan Gilbert and the rest of the Cavs entourage — all wearing bowties as well — celebrated their latest victory, which came with 15.6 percent odds after they finished with the NBA’s third-worst record at 24-58.

Dan Gilbert called Nick, born with Neurofibromatosis (NF), a nerve disorder that causes tumors to grow anywhere in the body at any time, his “hero” after the 2011 win.

Nick wore a stern look before this one, saying he expected he was done coming here and that he believed the Cavs would be in the playoffs next season.

They got a nice jump on that goal.

Browns sign RB Jackson, rookie safety CLEVELAND (AP) — The Browns signed running back Brandon Jackson to a 1-year contract, bringing him back after two seasons in which he never got to showcase his versatility.

Jackson, who only played in two games last season, was re-signed by the club on Tuesday, among a flurry of moves as the Browns began their second week of OTAs (organized team activities) under coach Rob Chudzinski.

The team also signed rookie safety Jamoris Slaughter to a 4-year contract and released safety Eric Hagg, a seventh-round pick in 2011.

Also, the Browns signed undrafted free agent wide receiver Michael Edwards and defensive back Kenronte Walker, and waived linebacker Ryan Rau and running backs Robbie Rouse Jamaine Cook.

They were awarded running back Miguel Maysonet off waivers from Philadelphia.

The Browns expected big things from Jackson when they signed him as an unrestricted free agent from Green Bay in 2011. However, the 5foot-10, 216-pounder missed the entire 2011 season with a toe injury.

Last season, Jackson appeared in only two games and finished with

54 yards on eight carries.

Jackson could be a nice fit in Chudzinski’s offense, which incorporates underneath passes to the running backs.

Before he joined the Browns the first time, Jackson set career-highs in rushing attempts (190), yards (703), touchdowns (3), receptions (43) and receiving yards (844) while helping the Green Bay Packer win the Super Bowl.

Slaughter — selected out of Notre Dame in the sixth round — is the first member of the 2013 rookie class to sign with the Browns. He started the first three games for the Fighting Irish last season before injuring his Achilles. He missed the remainder of the year, but the Browns feel he’s close to returning or they wouldn’t have let go of Hagg.

Hagg started the Browns’ first two games last season before he was benched. He finished with 22 tackles and broke up one pass. With Hagg out of the mix, second-year safety Tashaun Gipson appears to be the frontrunner to start alongside T.J. Ward.

The 5-foot-10, 210pound Maysonet signed with the Eagles following April’s draft. He rushed for 1,964 yards and 21 touchdowns as a senior at Stony Brook.

Jordan changing name of team back to Hornets CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Michael Jordan wants to “bring the buzz back” to Charlotte.

The Bobcats owner said at a press conference Tuesday evening he’s changing his team's name to the Charlotte Hornets beginning in 2014-15.

Jordan said he submitted an application to the NBA board of governors earlier Tuesday informing them of his

decision and is optimistic the board will approve the name change when they convene in July.

The NBA’s Hornets resided in Charlotte from 1988-2002 Charlotte will remain the Bobcats next season, Jordan said.

The New Orleans Hornets, now owned by Tom Benson, recently changed their name to the Pelicans.

NEW YORK (AP) — Mike Leake pitched three-hit ball for seven sharp innings and the Cincinnati Reds parlayed star third baseman David Wright’s early error Tuesday night into a 4-0 victory over the New York Mets.

Mesoraco Devin homered as the Reds won for the ninth time in 11 games. They scored three times in the first inning after Wright let a bases-loaded, two-out grounder skip through his legs.

Leake (4-2) struck out four, walked two and became the latest pitcher to shut down the Mets at Citi Field. New York has lost 10 of 12 at home, rarely scoring many runs.

Leake escaped his biggest jam by retiring slumping Ike Davis on a grounder with runners on second and third to end the fourth.

The 25-year-old righty has never pitched a shutout in the majors, and was pulled for reliever Sam LeCure to begin the eighth.

LeCure and Logan Ondrusek each threw a hitless inning to complete the shutout.

Jonathon Niese (3-5) wasn’t charged with an earned run, but he hurt himself with continuing control troubles. He walked three, all on full counts in the opening inning.

Niese set down the first two batters of the night before Joey Votto

The Convention That Wasn’t In downtown Mansfield is a monument that states, “The first public and official endorsement of Abraham Lincoln as 2331 W.

Newspapers across the country repeated "Promoting Greater Participation the report. in Recycling" It was even published in Springfield, Illinois, Lincoln’s www.ncowaste.org hometown. Some people say the story made Lincoln, who was about to lose a race for the U.S. Senate, think seriously for the STOP SMOKING Present in just ONE sesson! this coupon first time about running for president. for Before your session learn about hypnosis: • How it lowers stress $ • How hypnosis is 100% safe 15 OFF In fact, Lincoln was nominated for president at the Republican • How you are always in control reg. price single national convention in Chicago in 1860, thanks to votes of the • How you feel under hypnosis private • Weight Control included in session! session • www.miamivalleyhypnosis.com Ohio delegation. Lincoln defeated Democrat Stephen A. MIAMI VALLEY HYPNOSIS Douglas in November, becoming the first Republican president 332-8700 to win the White House.

And it was all because of the Mansfield convention. Or was it?

In 1925, when people in Mansfield built the monument that still stands today, others began asking questions about that RANDY HARVEY Lawncare Manager (937) 335-6418 convention.

Old issues of the local newspapers didn’t report Memory Lane it either.

Antiques, LLC But the November 10, 1858, issue of the Mansfield Herald contained a story that said its reporters knew nothing of such 128 East Poplar Street a convention. Therefore, the paper concluded, “we are rather Sidney, Ohio 45365 disposed to consider the Register’s Lincoln demonstration 937-495-1014 Betty S. Johnson, Owner somewhat imaginary. The truth is, the Register has been hoaxed.”

Today, many people think the perpetrator was the pro-Lincoln reporter David Ross Locke, who may have been playing a joke 128 S. Main St., Sidney (Next to Ron & Nita’s) on the editor of the Sandusky paper. Was it a joke that changed 492-3330 history?

Words to Know: hoaxed endorsement disposed imaginary perpetrator For Discussion: 1. What is the difference between a hoax and a lie?

2. What role did Ohioans play in Lincoln’s winning the Republican presidential nomination?

3. Historians say that while the Sandusky newspaper’s story was widely reported nationwide, the Mansfield Herald’s story was not? Why do you think this was?

4. Why do you think the people of Mansfield left the monument up?

Singer opens up on daughter’s suicide NEW YORK (AP) — Burt Bacharach knew writing a memoir would be emotional — not because of his never-heard backstage tales or his tumultuous marriages. He knew that being honest would force him to come to terms with the death of his daughter.

“It was very tough because I had to revisit what that period was and go deeper into it,” he said of his daughter Nikki’s premature birth, years of emotional issues, and eventual suicide at the age of 40.

The 84-year-old award-winning music

composer of such classics as “I’ll Never Fall in Love Again,” the Oscar-winning “Raindrops Keep Fallin’ on My Head,” and The Carpenters’ “(They Long to Be) Close to You,” understood that baring his deep, dark secrets was essential to his recently released autobiography, “Anyone Who Had a Heart: My Life and Music” (Harper).

The idea for a memoir came long before Nikki’s death in 2007. Bacharach had Nikki with former wife Angie Dickinson, best known for her role on the seventies drama, “Police Woman.”

SIDNEY CITY Schools Superintendent John Scheu congratulates Diane Dexter on her retirement from the school district during Monday night’s Board of Education meeting. Dexter is a middle school language arts teacher and will retire at the end of the school year. cepted the resignations of Virginia McClain, curriculum director, effective July 31; Bruce Lemley, part-time psychologist, effective July 31; Kendra Replogle, inclusion teacher, effective May 24; Joe Huwer, intervention specialist, effective May 24; and Keven Stapleton, alternative school aide, effective immediately for the 2013-14 school year.

“These will be difficult positions to replace,” said Superintendent John Scheu.

After accepting her resignation, the board approved a motion to enter into a purchased service contract with McClain for curriculum consultation during the 2013-14 school year at a cost of $7,500.

Scheu said when he made a list of all the projects McClain was involved in, he felt the new curriculum coordinator might need some assistance to understand everything that is underway. He said Mc-

Clain’s assistance will especially be needed on the Race to the Top grant process.

The board approved the hiring of Larry Hoel on a one-year limited, as needed contract effective May 28 for seasonal mowing and landscaping at $10 an hour; Anthony Gerstner on a one-year limited as-needed contract as a substitute bus driver effective May 15 at $14.08 per hour; and Conner Bodenmiller, Jenny Fair and Jordan Show on one-year limited, as-needed contracts as student summer workers effective May 28 at $7.85 per hour.

Erica Scully was employed on a one-year limited contract as a middle school science teacher effective Aug. 16.

She will be paid $61,669, less two unpaid days per SEA agreement $61,002.

Diantha Walling was hired as an MD aide on a one-year contract effective Aug. 21 at $11.36 per hour.

One-year limited, as-

needed contracts were awarded to Linda Kerns, substitute cook, effective Aug. 21 at $8.81 per hour; Tamera Herring, substitute cafeteria truck drive, effective Aug. 21 at $14.54 per hour; and Leslie Smith, cafeteria substitute truck driver effective Aug. 21 at $12.04 per hour.

A motion was approved to continue a purchased service agreement with the Sidney Police Department for placement of one security resource officer at Sidney High School for the 2013-14 school year at a cost of $48,000. This position has been with the district about 10 years, said Scheu. The rest of the buildings, he said, will be served by reserve officers.

The board agreed to appoint Cynthia Helman to the Shelby County Libraries Board of Trustees to complete the unexpired term of Robert Zimmerman ending July 2018.

The second reading and motion to adopt changes in new/revised/replacement policies was approved. This action keeps the district up-to-date with current laws in the state.

The board approved interim, end of course exams for American history and American government per Senate Bill 165 and adopt a resolution supporting the administration of the exams. For the 2013-14 school year, the exams will be developed locally.

For the 2014-15 school year, the exams will be state developed.

The board’s next meeting will be June 17 at 5:30 p.m. at the board of education building.
