tenced that “for a long time since my early childhood I’ve had a drug problem.” Yaeger said he lost his wife and children because of his substance abuse and subsequent criminal convictions. “One of my daughters wrote me (in jail) and said she hates me,” Yaeger told Stevenson. “I’m not a bad person,” Yaeger said, flanked by his atSee YAEGER/Page 3A
Kristina Hoffman, 39, of Kenton, died Tuesday morning at Miami Valley Hospital of injuries received in a twov e h i c l e accident May 13 at the intersection of Houston and PattersonHalpin roads. Hoffman Hoffman was the driver of an auto that collided with a pickup truck driven by Frederick W. Shellenberg, 42, of 5155 FesslerBuxton Road, Houston. Sheriff’s deputies’ preliminary investigation indicated her vehicle, northbound on Patterson-Halpin Road, failed to yield to the truck traveling east on Houston Road. Mrs. Hoffman and her husband, Scott C. Hoffman, 42, of 20127 Township Road, 265, Kenton, and her son, Brayden Patterson, 10, of 321 Brookburn St., Sidney, were trans-
ported by CareFlight helicopter to Miami Valley Hospital where Mrs. Hoffman had been in critical condition until her death. The pregnant woman gave birth at the hospital to an infant that now survives her. Her son, Brayden, was transported to Children’s Medical Center in Dayton. Shellenburg and his sons, Ciaran, 10, and Aiden, 6, were treated for their injuries at Wilson Memorial Hospital in Sidney. According to the report, the Chevy Cavalier Mrs. Hoffman was driving was owned by her husband. While examining Mrs. Hoffman’s driving record, the deputy discovered that she was under four suspensions. Her husband, who had a valid license, was a passenger in the vehicle. Deputies have charged Scott Hoffman with wrongful entrustment, an unclassified misdemeanor. Her obituary appears on Page 3A.

ceived a 220-day, three-year limited administrative contract at a salary of $72,731 per year. In addition, Michael Epperly was hired as Emerson Elementary School’s new principal. He received a two-year limited, 215-day administrative contract at a salary of $74,981 per year. His first day on the job will be Aug. 1. Epperly has been a music teacher for 26 years and is currently the K-6 music teacher for Hardin-Houston Local Schools. Epperly thanked the board for this “wonderful opportunity.” He said the teachers at Emerson have a “vibrant approach to education.” “I’m looking forward to another roller coaster adventure,” said Voress. Forty-six applications were received for the Emerson principal’s job, while 65 applications were received for the middle school principal’s job. At this time, the only administrative position yet to be filled is the assistant high school principal’s job. The board recognized 10 staff members who will be retiring at the end of the school year. They were: • Diane Buck, library aide, 25 years in Sidney City Schools; • Margo Bush, special education teacher, 24 years in SCS, 34 years in education; • Jackie Deatherage, cook, 35 years in SCS; • Karen Fahrer, educational aide, 24 years in SCS; • Mary Jannides, high school social studies teacher, 17 years in SCS, 29 years in education; • Phil Kocher, psychologist, 32 years in SCS, 39 years in education;
• Darla Kreitzer, elementary physicial education teacher, 29 years in SCS; • Vickie Peltier, elementary teacher, 35 years in SCS; • Deanna Steiner, elementary principal, 13 years in SCS, 30 years in education, and; • Tony Wagner, high school math teacher, 35 years in SCS. A request to award a contract to do repairs to the running track brought a no vote from one board member. “I think we’re ducking the issue of the permanent improvement levy,” said Bill Ankney. “We’re tapping the money the teachers gave back to us with the negotiations.” “I agree the permanent improvement levy is going to have to be addressed,” said Superintendent John Scheu. “We may be looking at combining the PI and renewal of the (operating) levy when it comes due in 16 months. We’re not spending more money than we have to ensure we have a carryover balance.” Treasurer Michael Watkins said part of the current financial forecast for the district were the result of the negotiations. “We are looking at things that have to be done,” said Watkins. by a 3-1 vote, the board approved the motion to award a contract to Champion Track for repairs and resurfacing of the running track during FY2013 at a cost of $59,780. Board member Kelly Rees was not present for the meeting. The board also approved the purchase of two 84-passenger, transitstyle school buses from Cardinal Bus Sales during FY2013 at a total cost of $169,908.

The proposed catering business will occupy the kitchen and storage area of the vacant building while the storefront and customer area will house the ice cream parlor. The business will be known as Phil’s Catering. The building has previously served variously as a shop, bakery and ice cream parlor. The kitchen area includes 1,360 approximately square feet of the building. Board members also granted Sun Down Tan LLC approve for expansion of its Sidney tanning salon at 509 N. Vandemark Road in the B2 Community Business District. The business has completed interior construction and renovation in order to expand into an adjacent area of the multicommercial tenanted center. Community Services Director Barbara Dulworth said city staff intends to forward to the planning commission and city council a recommendation to amend the zoning code to include tanning salons as a principally permitted use in the area to correct an oversight when the salon originally opened. The board approved two of four requests for variances involving the
YAEGER torney, William Zimmerman Jr. “I need help with a bad drug problem.” Yaeger asked to be sentenced to a place where he could receive help for his substance abuse. Yaeger had served 112 days in jail since he was arrested by a Shelby County Sheriff ’s deputy and Deputy U.S. Marshals in Indianapolis after an extensive search. He was also wanted in Logan County for an alleged bank robbery. In Shelby County Yaeger allegedly broke into a private home and took jewelry and a firearm on Nov. 29, 2011. Then on Dec. 9 he allegedly robbed the Huntington Bank in Bellefontaine, which posted a $5,000 reward for his capture. On Nov. 4 Yaeger also allegedly robbed the Dollar General Store in Bellefontaine. During Tuesday’s sentencing, Stevenson told Yaeger he was taking his comments “into consideration” but noted he could not ignore his “serious criminal record.” Stevenson acknowledged that Yaeger has substance abuse problems and told him “to stand in front of the mirror and look in the mirror” and deal with the problems. Stevenson said there are several agencies that would be glad to help him deal with his issues

construction of accessory buildings. Gary and Diana King were granted approval for a 10-foot by 10-foot side yard shed on their property at 226 N. Walnut Ave. on a lot with contours and lot slope that create exceptional conditions. Paula Knight received approval for a 9foot by 12-foot side yard accessory building at 401 S. Highland Ave. The board denied Calvin Parks’ request to construct an accessory building exceeding allowed square footage at 705 Michigan St. Parks had petitioned to keep an 8-foot by 8-foot shed with a 24-foot by 24-foot garage. Also denied was a request by Chris Gillespie, on behalf of Stacy Yeager, to construct a second story on an accessory building which would exceed maximum height allowed at 529 Rauth St. The requested variance would have raised the structure’s height to more than 15 feet. Board members also granted Big Hammer Contracting, on behalf of John Banks, a variance to construct an addition to property at 154 Parkwood St. The variance reduces the required front yard setback to 13 feet where the minimum depth is 25 feet. The variance was granted due to exceptional conditions. Dulworth told the board when the Wapakoneta Avenue right of way is narrowed, some 20 feet will be conveyed to Banks, bringing the yard into compliance with a total depth of 33 feet.
From Page 1 and then sentenced him to 11 months in the Ohio Department of Corrections. He was also ordered to pay $1,230 and was given credit for 112 days served in jail. Yaeger faces up to three years of post release control after serving his sentence. As Yaeger awaited sentencing, he conversed with his 4-year-old daughter who was in the courtroom, telling her he loved her and blowing her kisses. She sucked on a red lollipop given to her by a sheriff’s deputy. The girl asked why her father was shackled and at one point threw her arms out wide, telling Yaeger, “I love you this much.” Yaeger attempted to respond similarly despite the handcuffs. Yaeger also spoke with his sister, Ashley Savage, of Bellefontaine, whose home he allegedly burglarized on Dec. 9. On April 11, Yaeger entered a guilty plea in Shelby County Common Pleas Court on the single count of breaking and entering, as part of a plea bargain. He was originally charged with one count of burglary, a second degree felony. Yaeger was listed as one of Shelby County’s most wanted in January. Yaeger will be transferred in the next few days to face charges in Logan County.

Remains of 10 Ohio BOE prepares for veterans are buried 2012-13 school year DAYTON (AP) — Veterans and civilians stood side by side to honor 10 Ohio veterans whose remains were buried Tuesday with full military honors, several months after they were found in a funeral home basement. Six veterans conducted a rifle salute, taps was played and the name of each of the men and his dates of service were read at the ceremony under an overcast sky at Dayton National Cemetery. Some in attendance wiped away tears. Among those who read the names was Richard Royer, a Vietnam veteran and Chapin with the American Legion Post 193 in South Carolina. He traveled 11 hours by motorcycle Monday to make it in time for the service and burial. He said the crowd of a couple hundred people far surpassed his expectations. “People have jobs out there,” he said. “But they felt strongly enough about our veterans that they came out to support them.” The remains of the men were discovered at a Columbus funeral home by the Ohio chapter of the Missing in America Project. The burial was
one of several scheduled this year for the national group, which contacts funeral homes, coroners’ offices and state hospitals in an effort to see if the unclaimed cremated remains they have in storage may belong to a veteran. At the end of the service, several veterans took turns passing by the table with the remains, and groups took turns saluting at them. The remains were later buried with a military-issued grave marker. Chastity Booth, the Ohio coordinator for MIAP, spent months arranging the burial to give the Ohio remains a final resting place. She called Tuesday’s ceremony bittersweet. “It’s bitter because it’s taken so long to get here,” Booth said. “It’s sweet because they’re finally here.” Booth, a 33-year-old stay-at-home mother, discovered the remains last year at the Cook & Son-Pallay Funeral Home in Columbus, and they were positively identified in November. Once the military records of the men were verified, Booth and a handful of volunteers tried to find next of kin by advertising in the
local newspaper and searching online databases. The group knew only the names of the veterans, their service dates and whether they were given any awards. The remains of 12 veterans were initially discovered, but the families of two veterans declined the burial. Tuesday marked the first burial for Booth, though two more are scheduled for this summer as additional veterans’ remains have recently been found. Members of the American Legion Riders led an escort from Columbus to the Dayton cemetery about 75 miles away. Columbus resident Reisa Kersting, 45, participated in the escort. She said she’s pleased that people could come together to show their gratitude and respect. “I’m glad they were able to retrieve the remains,” she said. “It’s a shame we’ve had so many veterans that have fallen and passed away.” Congress is considering legislation that would require the Department of Veterans Affairs to recognize and assist MIAP with the burial of any unclaimed veterans’ remains.

Breakfast for K-6 will be
$1 and for grades 6-12 it will be $1.50.

Exotic animal regulations head to Ohio governor COLUMBUS (AP) — Legislation that would tighten regulations on owning exotic animals in Ohio was headed Tuesday to the governor for his expected signature, months after authorities were forced to shoot dozens of lions,
tigers and other dangerous wildlife released from a farm last fall. The measure would ban new ownership of exotic animals, while allowing current owners to keep their creatures by obtaining a new state-is-
sued permit by 2014 and adhering to strict new caretaking standards. Facilities accredited by some national zoo groups would be exempt from the bill, along with sanctuaries and research institutions.
Ohio’s restrictions on exotic pets are among the nation’s weakest. Efforts to strengthen the law took on new urgency after Terry Thompson released 50 animals — including black bears, mountain lions and Bengal tigers —
from his eastern Ohio farm in Zanesville in October before he committed suicide. Authorities killed 48 of the animals as a public safety measure. Two others were believed to have been eaten by other animals.

Census misses 1.5 million WASHINGTON (AP) — The 2010 census missed more than 1.5 million minorities after struggling to count black Americans, Hispanics, renters and young men, but was mostly accurate, the government said Tuesday. The Census Bureau released an extensive assessment of its high-stakes, once-a-decade headcount of the U.S. population. Based on a sample survey, the government analysis has been a source of political controversy in the past over whether to “statistically adjust” census results to correct for undercounts, which usually involve minorities who tend to vote Democratic.
Powell: No endorsement WASHINGTON (AP) — Former Secretary of State Colin Powell declined Tuesday to renew the presidential endorsement he gave Barack Obama four years ago, saying he wasn’t ready “to throw my weight behind someone” at this time. The former chairman of the military’s Joint Chiefs of Staff and Cabinet member under President George W. Bush demurred when asked if he was backing Obama again. A longtime GOP figure, Powell caused a stir in Republican political circles four years ago by endorsing Obama over war hero Sen. John McCain, calling Obama a “transformational figure.”
Files relate abuse story LOS ANGELES (AP) — Robert Van Handel was a 15-year-old seminarian at St. Anthony’s, a prestigious Franciscan boarding school, when, he said, a priest slipped into the infirmary where he was recovering from a fever and began to molest him. The priest told him it would help draw the fever out. More than a decade later, Van Handel himself was molesting children while working as a Franciscan priest at the same Santa Barbara boarding school. Van Handel formed a boys’ choir for local children and chose his victims from among its ranks for eight years. The sexual abuse at St. Anthony’s, including Van Handel’s own account of his crimes, is included in more than 4,000 pages from the confidential files of nine Franciscan religious brothers who were accused of abuse.

Dog bites politician FRANKENMUTH TOWNSHIP, Mich. (AP) - A woman running for the Michigan Legislature was bitten by a dog while going door to door. The dog's distressed owner has made amends: Ann Doyle can put a campaign sign on his property. Doyle says she didn't see the dog until it was too late Wednesday. She was campaigning in Saginaw County's Frankenmuth Township when the dog bit her three times. The Saginaw News says the owner heard the commotion and called off the animal. Doyle says she was bleeding and blacked out but is doing much better. She won't identify the dog’s owner but says he agreed to take a campaign sign. Doyle calls it a “sympathy vote.”

U.N.: Deal with Iran reached VIENNA (AP) — Despite some remaining differences, a deal has been reached with Iran that will allow the U.N. nuclear agency to restart a long-stalled probe into suspicions that Tehran has secretly worked on developing nuclear arms, the U.N. nuclear chief said Tuesday. The news from International Atomic Energy Agency chief Yukiya Amano, who returned from Tehran on Tuesday, comes just a day before Iran and six world powers meet in Baghdad for negotiations and could present a significant turning point in the heated dispute over Iran’s nu-
clear intentions. The six nations hope the talks will result in an agreement by the Islamic Republic to stop enriching uranium to a higher level that could be turned quickly into the fissile core of nuclear arms. There was a possibility that the conference may be delayed by weather. A sand storm closed down Baghdad’s airport’s Tuesday. Iran insists its nuclear program is only for power and medical applications, not weapons. On Tuesday, the official Islamic Republic News Agency reported that Iranian scien-
tists had inserted a domestically made fuel rod, which contains pellets of 20 percent enriched uranium, into the core of a research nuclear reactor in Tehran. The advance would be another step in achieving proficiency in the entire nuclear fuel cycle. Iran said in January that it had produced the first nuclear fuel rod, and that it had to find a way to make them because Western sanctions prohibit their purchase from foreign markets. By compromising on the IAEA probe, Iranian negotiators in Baghdad could argue that the onus was now on the
other side to show some flexibility and temper its demands. Although Amano’s trip and the talks in Baghdad are formally separate, Iran hopes progress with the IAEA can boost its chances Wednesday in pressing the U.S. and Europe to roll back sanctions that have hit Iran’s critical oil exports and blacklisted the country from international banking networks. It was unclear, though, how far the results achieved by Amano would serve that purpose, with him returning without the two sides signing the deal, despite his upbeat comments.
Commercial spacecraft lifts off CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — Opening a new, entrepreneurial era in spaceflight, a ship built by a billionaire businessman sped toward the International Space Station with a load of groceries and other supplies Tuesday after a spectacular, middle-of-thenight blastoff. The launch of the Falcon 9 rocket and its unmanned Dragon capsule marked the first time a commercial spacecraft has been sent to the orbiting outpost. Cutting a brilliant, fiery arc through the darkness, the rocket lifted off just before 4 a.m. and smoothly boosted the capsule into orbit. The capsule is expected to rendezvous with the space station within days, delivering a half-ton of provisions for its six crew members. It is considered just a test flight — in fact, the capsule was packed with only nonessential items, in case something went disastrously wrong — but if all goes well with this mission and others
like it, commercial spaceships could be carrying astronauts to and from the space station in three to five years. “Falcon flew perfectly!!” billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk, founder of the SpaceX company, said via Twitter. “Feels like a giant weight just came off my back.” Musk later told reporters: “For us, it’s like winning the Super Bowl.” Up to now, flights to the space station were something only major governments had done. The White House offered congratulations. “Every launch into space is a thrilling event, but this one is especially exciting,” said John Holdren, President Barack Obama’s chief science adviser. “This expanded role for the private sector will free up more of NASA’s resources to do what NASA does best — tackle the most demanding technological challenges in space, including those of human spaceflight beyond low-Earth orbit.”

Joplin remembers deadly tornado BY ALAN SCHER ZAGIER Associated Press JOPLIN, Mo. (AP) — Carrying small American flags and wearing T-shirts bearing the names of friends and loved ones who died when a massive tornado tore through Joplin one year ago, thousands of people made a somber march Tuesday through some of the town’s hardest-hit neighborhoods. Residents and officials are dedicated to remembering their losses but are also committed to what is certain to be a long, slow recovery from a tornado that killed 161 people and injured hundreds of others. The storm last May wiped away entire neighborhoods in the city of 50,000, destroyed Joplin’s only public high school and left behind a ghastly moonscape of block after city block of foundations wiped clean of their structures. “It’s been a roller-coaster type year. Extremely high highs and lots of low lows,” said Debbie Fort, the principal of Erving Elementary School, which has been operating out of temporary facilities. “It’s important that we take a moment to reflect and remember,” she said. “But it’s a new chapter in our lives. This really signifies our future, the future of Joplin.” Signs of the challenges

FAMILY FRIEND Carole Liston, left, hugs Marilyn Sixx and her son Chris Sixx during a ceremony marking the anniversary of a deadly tornado that devastated Joplin, Mo. a year ago on Tuesday. The twister killed 161 people as it cut a wide swath through Joplin. ahead were plentiful on the 4mile “Walk of Unity,” from the glaring absence of century-old trees in the city’s central neighborhoods to the ghostly shell of St. John’s Regional Medical Center, which formed a stark backdrop at a late afternoon memorial service
marked by a moment of silence at 5:41 pm. — the exact time the tornado hit. “There is not a handbook out there that says, ‘Here’s how you develop a community that has an 8-mile-long, 25 to 30 city-block wide swath of area that has basically lost
everything,’” said David Wallace, a Texas developer whose firm was hired by the city to oversee Joplin’s rebuilding plan. He estimated the recovery will cost nearly $2 billion, about half of which has already been pledged by private sources. Throughout the day, residents, hospital workers, volunteers and politicians gathered across the disaster zone to mark the May 22, 2011, tornado, mixing somber remembrances with steely resolutions to rebuild. “It is so fitting to begin this day, this anniversary, by reflecting on our faith as dawn breaks over a renewed Joplin,” Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon said at a sunrise service at Freeman Hospital, which is eight blocks from St. John’s but was undamaged. “Scripture tells us that the path of the righteous is like the first gleam of dawn, shining ever brighter till the full light of day.” The afternoon procession started in neighboring Duquesne, where more than one-fourth of the community’s 750 homes were destroyed and nine people died. The Joplin portion of the walk began past a Wal-Mart where three people were killed and 200 survived by huddling together in employee break rooms, bathrooms and other designated safe zones.
U.S. ambassador to Afghanistan to leave WASHINGTON (AP) — Ryan Crocker, the unflappable diplomat who became the civilian face of America’s wars in Iraq and Afghanistan over two administrations, is stepping down as ambassador to Afghanistan and retiring from the U.S. foreign service after a storied tenure in some of the world’s most dangerous hotspots. State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said Tuesday the 62-year-old veteran envoy would leave his post in Kabul this summer because of health reasons she declined to detail. His departure comes a year earlier than planned after Crocker came out of retire-
ment in 2011 to take the helm of the embassy at President Barack Obama’s personal request. His resignation was announced as the U.S. and its NATO allies forged ahead with plans to close the largely stalemated conflict by the end of 2014 but keep their troops fighting there in the meantime. With that timetable on track, Crocker’s departure from Kabul will not likely herald any new U.S. approach to the conflict. However, the loss of his presence as a trouble-shooter since the 1980s will be felt as the administration struggles to prevent Afghanistan from descending again into
the cauldron of extremism that gave sanctuary to Osama bin Laden and leaders of his al-Qaida network. Crocker’s departure comes at a time when the NATO and U.S. civilian efforts in Afghanistan face increasing strain while the military draws down its forces in time for the 2014 end of combat operations. The U.S. embassy in Kabul confirmed Crocker’s departure “with regret” while officials in Washington said he made his plans known to Obama during this weekend’s NATO summit in Chicago at which the allies discussed the way forward in Afghanistan.

DR. WALLACE: I’m 14 and want to learn how to play the piano and take piano lessons. My parents will gladly pay for the lessons (we have a piano), but my mom said that she read in your column that starting piano lessons, as a teen, was a waste of time and money because it was too late to begin lessons. Is this true? If so, why is it true? —Jenny, Peoria, Ill. JENNY: Your mother misinterpreted my message regarding teens starting piano lessons. The earlier in age a student begins piano lessons, the more proficient that person can become. Simply put, the younger people (ages 4, 5 or 6) taking piano lessons have brains conducive to learning how to play, while a teen brain is “fully loaded” and piano playing competes with other skills. Almost all concert pianists started playing at a very young age. However, there is no reason you can’t take lessons and become a very accomplished player. You may just have to forgo playing for the New York Symphony!

sity, or nursing at Cincinnati State — should be able to do so with confidence that they will get the support they need. However, when veterans seek to use their GI Bill education benefits, they are too often subjected to overly aggressive and misleading marketing tactics from some fly-by-night educational institutions. Some institutions are more concerned with their own bottom lines than with helping veterans who served on the front lines. That’s why I am a proud sponsor of legislation to restrict misleading marketing practices targeted at Ohio veterans. The GI Consumer Bill Awareness Act would complement veterans’ educational assistance programs by requiring the VA to provide beneficiaries with easy-to-understand, jargon-free information about schools that are approved for GI Bill use. Service members — already armed with the discipline and skills needed to strengthen the 21st century economy — should not have to struggle to find a job when their military service ends. Yet more than 20 percent of our nation’s veterans between the ages of 20 and 24 years old are unemployed. We all have a responsibility to help America’s veterans find the resources needed to resume their civilian

The VOW to Hire Heroes Act — a new law that provides tax credits for employers who hire unemployed veterans and helps connect veterans with job opportunities — moves us closer to fulfilling that obligation. But we can do even more. That’s why I recently worked to connect veterans seeking jobs with officials from the Chesapeake Energy Corporation at a jobs fair held at the University Center at Kent State University’s Stark campus in North Canton. Last summer, I also helped launch the Solar by Soldiers program, which connects service members with one of the fastest growing industries in the United States — clean energy development. Our nation owes its freedom to people who answered the call of duty and risked their lives for their families, neighbors, and nation. Whenever they need assistance — be it for medical care as they age or a student loan as they enter the next phase of their lives — they deserve a system that works with, not against them.

Opponents cite problems with wind turbines BOTKINS — Approximately 50 people attended an informational meeting Saturday a t Botkins H i g h School Saturday morning Sargeant in opposition to wind turbines that may be locating in Shelby County in the future. The session was sponsored by Shelby Neighbors United, which opposes the so-called wind farms. The group has launched an effort to prevent the developer, Mainstream Renewable Energy (MRE) of Dublin, Ireland, from locating the massive structures in Shelby County. Residents from the surrounding area attended the meeting to learn about the wind turbines and their potential impact on local residents, farms and possibly even health. Aaron Sargeant and Don Rosenbeck, of Jackson Center, led the program, and Milo Schaffner, a farmer and township trustee from Van Wert County, spoke about his experiences with wind turbines already operating in his area. Scott Gaier, Shelby Neighbors United president and founder, was unable to be at the meeting due to farming obligations. Rosenbeck began the meeting by saying that organizers “feel it’s important” that people become educated about problems associated with the turbines. “This is the fourth event we’ve sponsored,” Rosenbeck said. Obtaining land Sargeant, a veterinarian and pathologist, spoke about the local project, known as the Montra Hills Wind Project. According to Sargeant, MRE has a goal of obtaining 10,000 acres of Shelby County land on which to place turbines. That area includes from Southland Road to the north, the Logan County line to the east, Fort LoramieSwanders Road to the south and Sidney-Freyburg Road to the west. MRE reportedly wants to install from 100 to 150 turbines in that area. The wind turbines range from 450 to 550 feet in height and weigh approximately 400 tons, according to local organizers. The turbines generate approximately 160 to 240 megawatts (mwh) of electric capacity. More than 100 local landowners have already said they are not interested in the project, Sargeant stated. The project would bring approximately 10 full-time jobs to the county. Meeting a goal The wind turbines are reportedly part of an effort to meet Ohio’s goal of having 25 percent of the state’s power come from alternative energy sources by 2025. Some 12.9 percent of the 25 percent must be produced by renewable sources such as wind or solar power. The alternative energy sources would reportedly reduce carbon dioxide emissions and other pollutants.
Among issues facing Shelby County residents if the turbines are installed are reduced property values, energy issues and health and safety concerns, which Sargeant said is an issue with “a lot of documented risk,” and the lack of local control, including zoning. E c o n o m i c a l l y, Sargeant said, areas with wind turbines actually see their utility rates increase. A d d i t i o n a l l y, Sargeant showed a graphic illustrating the size of the turbines,comparing them to a utility pole that is traditionally 30 feet tall, a church steeple at 205 feet, a forest tree at 60 feet and a transmission tower at 125 feet. The blades of a turbine are 130 feet long and can move up to 200 mph. Whistling noise Sargeant told the crowd the turbines can create a whistling noise and in winter ice can fly off the blades, posing a danger. While Sargeant said carbon dioxide emissions are supposed to be reduced with use of turbines, he noted that delivering the concrete base for the turbines increases such emissions. “This was supposed to save the world” from global warming, Sargeant said, but it “does very little.” Power lines must also be larger for wind turbines, which Sargeant said, “increases electro magnetic fields” believed to have potential health risks. While Sargeant said the risk of cancer from the magnetic fields is questionable, he noted there is “nothing that says (there is) no risk of cancer.” Local residents could face a “significant loss” of property value (20 to 40 percent) if they live within two to three miles of turbines, Sargeant said. Wind energy is not a technically sound solution to provide power or reduce global warming, he stated, noting that a wind map from the U.S. Department. of Energy shows that “Ohio has very little wind.” Sargeant discussed the environmental impact of wind turbines, stating that carbon dioxide emissions are reduced only 1.3 percent with their use. He said local residents need to use a scientific method to determine the truth about the use of wind turbines. Local residents also heard about potential health and safety concerns of wind turbines. Sargeant said there are 80 people per square mile in Shelby County, which exceeds the 20 to 40 people per square mile in Iowa where there are wind farms. With a larger population, there
would be a greater risk, he said. Among the risks he cited, local residents might have to deal with odors and with “shadow flicker.” In the latter case, the turbine’s blades turning creates a shadow with a flicker effect that can be seen both outdoors and in a person’s home. It is similar to turning a light off and on in a house repeatedly. The location of turbines is also an issue. From a property line, turbines must be set back 1.1 times the total height of the turbine structure as measured from the tower base to the tip of the highest blade. An example would be a setback of 495 feet. for a 450-foot turbine. It was reported that in Van Wert on April 24 there was an accident involving a turbine, in which the blades fell apart. Reportedly, nobody was hurt. The sound of the turbines was described as “annoying” by Sargeant , who said it makes more noise than a train. An estimated 25 percent of people living within 1.5 miles of turbines have disruptions in their lives, including sleep disturbances, Sargeant said. The windier it is outside, the louder the turbines are, he said. Rescue flights Another concern cited is that CareFlight rescue helicopter reportedly will not land in the area of a wind farm. It will have to fly 1,000 feet higher than the turbines and needs to know how the turbines are marked. Wind turbines can also result in disruption of communication, Sargeant said. That can include television, radio and cell phones. Local television station WATCH TV reportedly said turbines will impact the station. Wildlife may also be affected. Migrating bats have increased mortality around turbines, since they can fly into the blades. Since bats eat insects, their loss can have a negative impact on farmers, Sargeant stated. There is also concern that there could be problems since MRE reportedly wants to place the turbines in the area known as the Anna fault line, which is an earthquake zone. Rosenbeck told the crowd it is not true that wind energy can provide a large amount of electricity. “Not as much as a coal station,” he said. If the wind doesn’t blow, electricity is not generated and does not provide reliable, predictable energy, he stated. Wind energy also cannot provide electric on demand, Rosenbeck said. He noted that with a
grid demand for electric, a base load of electricity is supplied, which is the amount people need 24 hours per day. There is also the peak load which provides energy for unexpected surges. With wind turbines, all electricity must be used “immediately,” since there is no way to store it, Rosenbeck said. He also said wind turbines do not provide an economical source of energy when compared to conventional sources. He noted that onshore and offshore wind are the most expensive sources of electricity. Test tower installed In the winter of 201112, a test wind tower was installed in Shelby County and individual landowners began to be contacted about one year ago. Rosenbeck said approximately $3,568,000 in revenue would come into the county as a result of the wind turbines. Schaffner, a farmer with 640 acres in the Van Wert area, is a township trustee and owner of Schaffner Tool and Die. He said he originally favored turbines but he no longer supports that form of energy. He showed photos of damaged roads in Van Wert where trucks have carried heavy turbine While MRE parts. patched the roads, Schaffner said they did not repair them as they should have. “You have to stand up for yourself,” Schaffner said about his fight to get the roads repaired. Schaffner said farmers in the Van Wert area have also had to deal with MRE building roads through their farmland to reach locations where turbines would be built. Another problem he cited is de-
bris. He said he found debris from a turbine lying 1,158 feet away from the turbine. “How far would that have been if it had been a 50 mph wind?” he asked. “They (MRE) destroyed our roads, they patched them … they tell you they don’t make any more noise than a refrigerator,” Schaffner said. He noted he lives a mile from a turbine and his family can “hear it in the house” and “heard the turbine over a tractor engine. There are times they are very loud, other times you don’t hear them.” Schaffner said the Farm Bureau “will tell you they don’t take a stand … well, they are talking for you.” Senate Bill 232 has put county commissioners in a “very difficult” position of having to provide tax abatements for wind turbines, Schaffner said. He noted that MRE pays “no taxes. They make a payment in lieu of taxes.” He said the company will keep making the same fixed payment while local residents watch their taxes increase. Removing a turbine Schaffner said removing a wind turbine is not easy and costs approximately $5,000 to do so. In fact, he said, one person who wanted a wind turbine removed “took their checkbook” and went to MRE but were unsuccessful. Schaffner told local residents to read Ohio Revised Code 5727.75 regarding the issue. “Educate yourselves … don’t believe what they (proponents) tell you.” Sargeant told the crowd there are things they can do. He encouraged local residents to contact the Shelby County Commissioners
and express their concern; sign a petition available from Shelby Neighbors United, which currently has 183 signatures; put out yard signs available from Shelby Neighbors United opposing the wind turbines; attend public informational meetings; write letters to Gov. John Kasich; and let legislators know they need to pass S.B. 315, which expands the definition of renewable energy, including wasted energy. More programs set Two more educational programs regarding wind turbines are scheduled for Anna and Jackson Center. Anyone interested in attending can go to the organization’s website to learn when those meetings will be held. The website is www.shelbyneighborsunited.org. Local residents interested in signing the petition or who want more information on the organization can contact them at their email address at shelbyneighbors@gmail.com and those wanting to make a donation to help the organization can do so by contacting them at Shelby Neighbors United, P.O.

Bankers celebrate Small Business Week themselves. This means that community banks understand their local markets better than anyone and also understand the challenges their customers face.” banks Community under $10 billion in assets provide nearly 60 percent of small business loans between $100,000 and $1 million. For their size, community banks are prolific small business lenders, providing a substantial number of small business loans across the country, including SBA loans. “By lending to local entrepreneurs and small businesses, community banks help local economies thrive, driving economic growth and prosperity,” said Bill Wente, president of First National Bank. “We are honored to serve our communities’ small businesses and are proud to recognize the important role they serve during Small Business Week.”
Representing more than 24,000 locations nationwide and employing nearly 300,000 Americans, ICBA members hold more than $1.2 trillion in assets, $1 trillion in deposits and nearly $750 billion in loans to consumers, small businesses and the agricultural community. Gerhart went on to say that small business owners and consumers can find their local community bank by visiting Community ICBA’s Bank Locator at www.banklocally.org. “Simply type in your zip code and the app will show you all the community banks in your area. You can even download free ICBA locator apps for your iPhone, Android or BlackBerry,” he said. To follow the conversation on Small Business Week, follow the #SBW2012 hashtags and #golocal on Twitter.

Ferguson Construction announces personnel changes Ferguson Construction Co., headquartered in Sidney, has announced the promotions of three of its veteran employees. Tom Snapp has been named company vice president; Jeff Schlater has advanced to director of design; and Jane Ratermann is now assistant human resources and benefits coordinator for the company. Snapp has been with the company for 18 years, most recently serving as northern business development manager. As vice president, he will continue with his responsibilities for developing business north of Interstate 70, as well as overseeing Ferguson’s Columbus office. He also serves on the company’s executive committee. “Tom has been a longstanding contributor to the success of Ferguson Construction,” said Mick Given, president. “His experience and solid understanding of our business and our markets have prepared him well to be an officer of the company.” Snapp is a graduate of Wright State University and a Marine Corps veteran. He and his wife, Elly, reside in Piqua. Schlater joined Ferguson 31 years ago after graduating from the
University of Cincinnati with a degree in architectural engineering. He has been actively involved in the company’s design/build service offering, and in his expanded role, he will oversee all design/build projects for Ferguson’s Dayton, Columbus and Sidney offices. Responsibilities will include scheduling of company resources through the project planning process as well as assurance that all projects meet required building codes. “Jeff has contributed a great deal to the success of the design program at Ferguson throughout the years,” Snapp said. “His attention to detail and ability to integrate the building requirements of our customers into our design solutions makes him a valued member of the Ferguson team.” Schlater and his wife, Terri, live in Sidney.

French receives presidential award for exports PIQUA — The French Oil Mill Machinery Co. was awarded the Presidential “E” Star Award for Exports by U.S. Department of Commerce Secretary John Bryson at the White House in Washington, D.C. The “E” Awards are the highest recognition any U.S. entity may receive for making a significant contribution to the expansion of U.S. exports. “Exporting continues to be a critical element of our sales growth, and we are honored to receive the “E” Star Award,” said Daniel P. French, French’s chairman and president. “Our company first began exporting equipment in 1905 to Canada and Europe and soon after to China. Over our company’s 112-year history we have exported equipment to every continent other than Antarctica and supported customers in over 80 countries.” French added, “The dedication of our Piqua employees has contributed largely to our success and international growth. Over the past three years, export sales grew to 65 percent of our total sales, enabling us to hire over 35 additional employees in our Piqua headquarters and manufacturing facility.”

nominated for the “E” Awards through the U.S. Commercial Service office network, which helps U.S. companies export. The primary criterion for the “E” Star Award is three years of successive export growth. “E” Awards are awarded to applicants that can demonstrate a significant contribution to U.S. export expansion that is measurable, innovative, sustainable and has broad impact. This year marks the 50th anniversary of the first presentation of the President’s “E” Award by President John F. Kennedy, who created the award by executive order in 1961 to encourage U.S. companies to sell their products abroad. A second award, the President’s “E” Star Award, was authorized by the Secretary of Commerce in 1969 to recognize “E” Award recipients for their continuing significant contributions to U.S. export expansion. French was awarded its first President’s “E” Award in 1984. A total of 41 U.S. companies and organizations were presented with the “E” Award at the May 17 World Trade Week ceremonies in Washington, D.C.

CINCINNATI REDS' Brandon Phillips (4) is congratulated by third base coach Mark Berry (41) after hitting a two-run home run off Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Brandon Beachy in the first inning of a baseball game Tuesday in Cincinnati.
Phillips homers twice, Reds edge Braves 4-3 CINCINNATI (AP) — Brandon Phillips drove in three runs with a pair of homers off Brandon Beachy on Tuesday night, leading the Cincinnati Reds to a 4-3 victory over the Atlanta Braves in another game of all-ornothing. Rookie shortstop Zack Cozart also homered off Beachy (5-2) as the Reds got the best of another high-powered game. The teams have combined for 10 homers in the two games, seven of them by Cincinnati. The Reds moved a seasonhigh four games over .500 at 23-19 with their fourth straight win. Mat Latos (3-2) gave up five hits, including the first of Michael Bourn’s two solo homers, in seven innings for his third straight win. Lefthander Aroldis Chapman fanned two in the ninth for his second save, hitting 100 mph three times in 18 pitches. The Cuban pitched for the first time since his arrest early Monday morning for
driving 93 mph on an interstate in suburban Columbus, Ohio. Police said he had a suspended license. Chapman got a loud ovation when he left the bullpen. He hasn’t allowed an earned run this season, prompting the Reds to try him in as closer. Caleb Lloyd, a college student who caught two home run balls in Cincinnati’s 4-1 win on Monday night, was an honorary captain for Tuesday’s game. He and coach Billy Hatcher took out the lineup card, giving Lloyd a chance to tell his story to the umpires. Beachy is one of the majors’ best at keeping the ball in the park — every park except Great American, that is. He hadn’t given up two homers in a game since his start there on July 24. Took him only four innings to top it. The right-hander had allowed only one homer in his first eight games this season, tied for fewest in the majors
by a starter. Phillips hit a fullcount pitch 422 feet to center field for a 2-0 lead in the first inning, setting the tone. Cozart hit his second homer in two games, and Phillips led off the fourth inning with another homer for a 4-2 lead. It was Phillips’ ninth career multihomer game and the fifth by a Reds player this season. Just like on Monday night, the Braves gave it a shot but couldn’t hit enough homers to keep up. Bourn homered on Latos’ sixth pitch, his first gameopening homer of the season and the third of his career. Bourn also homered off Logan Ondrusek in the eighth for his first career multihomer game. Jason Heyward had an RBI double in the fourth, the only run of the series that hasn’t come off a homer. Freddie Freeman just missed a homer in the inning, lining the ball off the wall in center. He was thrown out by Drew Stubbs while trying for second base.
Sidney High School is without head coach in two key sports spring after head baseball coach Tony Metzler and head softball coach Wade New announced their resignations, according to athletic director Jeff Metzler Courter. Metzler was the head coach for three seasons after serving as an assistant coach for six. He spent one year as the head coach at Piqua before taking New the Sidney post. “I appreciate the opportunity they gave me to be the head coach,” was the only comment Metzler wanted to make Tuesday. The Jackets struggled this season, finishing with a 5-21 record. They were 7-19 last season, but in Metzler’s first
season, Sidney finished 16-14 and won three tournament games before losing in the district championship to No. 2ranked Cincinnati Elder. New, meanwhile, steps down after nine seasons as the head coach of the Lady Jacket softball team. During that time, his teams averaged just under 12 wins per season, adding up to 106 for his coaching career. “After nine years it was time,” said New Tuesday. “My kids are getting older and getting involved in athletics and I want to be a part of that. I appreciate my family’s support these last nine years, and now it’s time to return the favor. “It was great to win a GWOC (North) championship, and be there when we got a new softball facility Field),” he (Aschenbach added. “It’s tough to leave the kids, but maybe it’s time for someone different. And I’m looking forward to spending more time with my kids.”
Reds’ Chapman subject of suit MIAMI (AP) — A Cincinnati Reds pitcher who defected from Cuba has been sued for $18 million by a Cuban-American man who blames the player for his imprisonment on the communist island. The lawsuit was filed last week in Miami against Aroldis Chapman, a left-handed pitcher for the Reds. The lawsuit claims that Chapman falsely accused Danilo Curbelo Garcia of involvement in human trafficking, leading to his 2008 arrest and conviction in Cuba. Curbelo Garcia is serving a 10-year sentence. Chapman defected in 2009 in the Netherlands and was signed a year later by the
Reds to a six-year, $30.25 million contract. The lawsuit claims Chapman accused Curbelo Garcia to win favor with the Cuban government so he could rejoin its national baseball team and eventually travel overseas to stage his escape. Chapman had been suspended from the team for a previous attempt to flee Cuba. Chapman's agent didn't immediately return a phone call Tuesday seeking comment. The lawsuit was filed in South Florida because Chapman owns a home in the area and Curbelo Garcia's wife and daughter both live here. Curbelo Garcia himself is a permanent legal U.S. resident in Miami who also holds Cuban citizenship.
McCoy hoping for fair fight for job BEREA, Ohio (AP) — Colt McCoy has been promised a fair fight by the Browns. He says he believes them and knows he’s the underdog. Choosing his words carefully and sounding resigned to his fate, McCoy put on a brave front Tuesday as he discussed the inevitability that Cleveland’s offense will be led by a new quarterback this season. McCoy took the initial snaps in practice with Cleveland’s starters. But it’s only a matter of time before firstround draft pick Brandon Weeden, with the cannon for a right arm, replaces him behind center. General manager Tom Heckert said Monday night that the “best guy is going to play” and the Browns selected the 28-year-old Weeden with the No. 22 overall pick last month “to be that guy.” McCoy said all the right things during his first comments since last season. He offered his support to Weeden. He vowed to be a team player. “This is the card that’s been dealt,” McCoy said after the Browns’ first day of organized team activities. “I can just say that I’m working as hard as I can. You never know what to expect. One of my favorite quotes by the NAVY Seals is, ‘The only easy day was yesterday.’ That’s just kind of how I

CLEVELAND BROWNS quarterback Colt McCoy (12) walks past rookie quarterback Brandon Weeden (3) during an offseason practice at the NFL football team’s headquarters in Berea, Ohio Tuesday. have to live right now.” Once viewed as a potential franchise QB, McCoy’s days with the Browns appear numbered. The team would like to develop Weeden, and to do that with complete commitment, the Browns may need to find a new team for McCoy or simply release him. He said he has not asked to be traded because “they told me I had a chance to compete.” Following the draft, McCoy said the Browns called and told him he would have a chance to keep his job. He
liked the idea of a challenge and said he’s doing all he can to embrace it. “They just said, ‘Hey, come in here and compete.’ As a competitor, that’s all you need to hear, really,” said McCoy, who has recovered from the concussion that ended his second season. “Just come in with your head on right and give it all you can every day. I want my teammates to see the same guy every day. Amidst some difficulties as a quarterback, you’ve got to be able to thrive in those situations. At the
same time, you’ve got to kind of regard them as routine. Those things are going to happen throughout your career.” It’s assumed Weeden will be the starter Sept. 9 against Philadelphia, but the rookie isn’t taking anything for granted. “I have to earn that job,” he said. “They’re not going to hand it to me just because of where they took me. I have to compete and show I belong on the field. Every position — mine in particular with Colt and how good he played and how good of a player he is. The competition is fun. It should be better for everybody involved. That’s the mentality I’m taking. It’s not my job. It’s my job to win.” McCoy didn’t have it easy last season. Along with learning a new offense under a rookie coach, he didn’t have any experienced wide receivers or a running game to lean on. The Browns couldn’t score, McCoy’s mistakes multiplied and his season came to a crashing halt when Pittsburgh linebacker James Harrison leveled him with a dangerous helmet-tofacemask hit on national TV. Now, he’s losing his job. It doesn’t seem fair, but McCoy isn’t complaining. The Browns spent the off-
season looking for an upgrade at quarterback. They pursued a trade to move up and select Robert Griffin III and even had brief talks with Indianapolis about Andrew Luck. McCoy watched it all from his home in Texas before the Browns nabbed Weeden with their second pick in the first round. He’s taken it all in stride. He has no other choice. McCoy believes he can keep his job, and he won’t give it up without a fight. “As long as I’m given an opportunity to compete as a quarterback — I had to earn my job at UT every year basically except for my senior year,” he said. “I had to earn my job in high school. My dad didn’t start me when I was a freshman. I had to play when I was a sophomore. I understand the idea, and if it’s a fair competition, then that’s all you can ask for. And regarding what everyone has said, this is a business. “I don’t want this to be a situation where it’s me vs. him or him vs. me. I want it to be a situation of — and I think we can all agree to this — let’s help our team the most. Let’s make it about the Cleveland Browns being a great football team next year. And if that’s the case, I’m all in.”

Instead, they’ll monitor race-day speeds to make sure all drivers are running within the mandated 105 percent pace of the leaders. “After evaluating a variety of options and speaking with all engine manufacturers, we feel it is best from both a competition and safety standpoint to maintain the current superspeedway boost level for our Lotus-powered en-

trants,” IndyCar vice president of technology Will Phillips said. “At this point, there are too many unknown variables in allowing an engine to run a full-race distance at the increased boost level, so it’s something we are going to need to explore further. At the beginning of the season we mandated there would be no changes to performance regulations prior to June 18, and we plan to maintain that time frame.” The move only affects Switzerland’s Simona de Silvestro and Alesi, who
and points leader Will Power, who praised de Silvestro’s skills, acknowledged the engines could cause potential problems. All engines will be changed for Friday’s final practice, and Alesi said Tuesday that he now believes the cars will run at speeds closer to the leaders. De Silvestro changed engines last weekend, swapping in a new one and her speeds went up dramatically. The unapproved engine change means she will be asa 10-spot sessed penalty in the starting lineup at the series’ next race, June 3 in Belle Isle, Mich. “They put a new engine on Simona’s car and it went better, so we’ll see if we’re closer,” Alesi said before the decision was announced. “We’re not looking for something more that would
have us fighting for the lead.” Asked if he feels safer in the car now, Alesi said simply “Yeah.” Seven months after Dan Wheldon was killed in a horrific crash in Las Vegas, the mere mention of safety — particularly at the series’ marquee race — is bound to raise red flags. The solution may be using black flags to force drivers off the track if they are too slow. The 105 percent rule, which was changed from 107 percent last year, is intended to weed out slower drivers. If the fastest car takes 60 seconds to make a lap, for example, the slowest car must now do it within 63 seconds. The decisions will be up to new race director Beaux Barfield, who will be calling his first 500 and the biggest race of his career.
“From a safety standpoint, we will be keeping a close eye on speeds as the race progresses,” Barfield said. “We want to make sure that we are managing the speeds and car placement as the drivers navigate through traffic.” Engines, extra boost and penalties have dominated the discussion into the lead up to the race. IndyCar handed out $275,000 in fines Sunday for a variety of rules violations during last weekend’s qualifying. E.J. Viso’s No. 5 car, which belongs to KV Racing Technology, joined the list Tuesday when it was fined $25,000 for improper brakes, bringing the total amount to $300,000. Viso’s team also was fined $15,000 on Sunday for other brake violations and technical issues.

will start 32nd and 33rd after four-lap qualifying averages of 214.393 mph and 210.094, respectively. Team Penske’s Ryan Briscoe won the pole at 226.484. All cars were given an additional 40-50 horsepower boost on Friday and Saturday, and nonqualified cars were given the same boost on Sunday. That added 4-5 mph to the speeds. With a nearly 161/2 mph disparity between the fastest qualifier and the slowest, Alesi, many drivers have expressed concern. Alesi, a Frenchman who made 201 starts in Formula One, said last week that he felt “unsafe” at the slower speeds and was worried he would be an impediment for other drivers. De Silvestro also acknowledged that she was trying to stay out of the way of faster cars,

Sidney native makes NYC debut BY PATRICIA ANN SPEELMAN pspeelman@sdnccg.com Sidney native Matt Zimmerman has added a valuable credit to his acting resume. He recently performed in the City Center Encores! production of “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes” in New York City. The limited-run engagement starred Megan Hilty, of the TV show “Smash.” “I was in the singing ensemble,” Zimmerman said during an interview while he was home for a few days following the production. “I had to stand on stage for an hour and sing crazy harmonies at the top of my lungs.” The son of Bill and Deb Zimmerman, of Sidney, was cast through an open-call audition. Many auditions require that performers be submitted by agents. An open call welcomes anyone to try out. Zimmerman sang for the show’s director, John Rando, and its music director, Rob Berman. He was one of 12 people selected from among 200 auditioners for the singing ensemble. There were also a dancing ensemble and the principal actors. The production was one of a series at City Center that revives historic musicals. “It was supposed to be a concert version,” Zimmerman said. “But we ended up with

Megan Hilty, star of the television series, “Smash,” and of the recent New York City Center Encores! production of “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes,” enjoys a cast party moment with Sidney native Matt Zimmerman, who was in the ensemble of the latter show. set pieces. props, costume changes. It felt like a fully produced show.” “Matt was unknown to me and he initially came to the open Equity auditions,” said Berman Wednesday. “I liked his singing and brought him back for the invited auditions. This show requires singers who have good pitch and musicianship, who can blend well and who can learn difficult music quickly. Matt has a pure, clean voice and seemed ideally suited to the kind of singing that these jazzy vocal arrangements require.” Zimmerman graduated
from Lehman Catholic High School in 2004 and attended Ohio Northern Universtiy to study pre-law. Although he acted in a few productions during his school years, he graduated with a degree in political science. When a friend moved to New York City to try his hand at acting, Zimmerman went along. He has performed in two national tours: as Yitzuk in “Fiddler on the Roof” for AIM Management and in “Junie B. Jones” for TheatreworksUSA. “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes” was his New York debut.
“Performing in front of 3,000 New Yorkers was pretty unreal. Looking into the audience and seeing people you recognize — Josh Groban was there on the last night,” Zimmerman said. “It was backwards. I should be paying to see him!” The hardest part of the experience was learning the music, he added. “We had three days to learn 11 songs, some with 12part harmony. A couple were in French,” he said. At times, he felt out of his element, he admitted, because he was surrounded by people with music degrees. The company will record a cast album in June. After his visit home, it will be “back to the grind,” Zimmerman said. In between acting jobs, he tends bar and plays guitar at a number of cabarets. The New York credit will be a big boost to his resume, he noted. So will the contacts he has made. Berman told the Sidney Daily News that if he had another chance to cast the singer, he would do so. “Matt seems to have a real natural ease about him onstage and quite a fine singing voice, as well,” Berman said. “Matt was a wonderful company member and a valuable asset to the show. I’d happily cast him again when there is another show he is well suited for.”
Reception honors Wilson donors The ninth annual Friends of Wilson reception was held recently at Shelby Oaks. The event was hosted by the Wilson Memorial Hospital Foundation and attendees included those who have given a substantial donation to the Wilson Memorial Hospital Foundation. The event each year is an opportunity to thank traditional donors as well as formally recognize members of the Wilson Society. To become a member of the Wilson Society, couples and individuals must declare their intention to include Wilson Memorial Hospital in their estate plans. There were nearly 150 guests in attendance who were among the first in the community to receive the latest information on Wilson Memorial’s new cardiac catheterization lab. Bonnie Faulkner, executive director of the Wilson Memorial Foundation, welcomed guests to the event. “The Friends of Wilson reception is a demonstration of our sincere thanks and appreciation of your continued support of Wilson Memorial Hospital. Because of generous donations from you and many others like you, Wilson Memorial has always grown to meet the needs of our community. This strength allows Wilson to continue to evaluate and expand the hospital’s services and, as a result, provide even better care to our patients,” she said. “In a few moments, you will be among the very first to hear a brief presentation on the newest service available at Wilson Memorial — the new cardiac cath lab.” Faulkner introduced Tom Boecker, president and CEO of Wilson Memorial, who recognized and thanked the members of the hospital and foundation boards. Boecker began by providing the audience with an update on Wilson Memorial’s physician-recruiting efforts stating that, “We have been very successful in recruiting physicians for our Wilson Care OB/GYN practice with the addition of Dr. Cecelia Banga last August, Dr. Julie Ressler as of yesterday, and Dr. Kristi Peddler, who was locum since January, but has made the decision to remain with the practice on a part-time basis. Also, we have been fortunate to add several nurse practitioners to our staff in urgent care, pediatrics and Wilson Care, Inc.” Boecker said, “Wilson’s recent customer enhancements have been the opening of the Botkins Family Practice; Wilson Urgent Care; relocation of the laboratory drawing station; and the reconfiguration (in progress) of the emergency department triage and waiting areas. We are all very excited about Wilson Memorial’s newest service to be implemented next month - the re-establishment of a cardiac cath/inter-

Hahn is co-medical director of the lab. ventional lab.” Wilson’s cardiac team was introduced: Dr. Mehran Arabpour, co-medical director; Dr. Harvey Hahn, co-medical director; Bobbie McClinton, cardiac service line director; Carol Johnston, cardiac cath lab manager; Brian Scheid, registered cardiovascular technologist; Mandy Inskeep, Sabina Mescher and Daniella Tangeman, all registered nurdes; and Jill Nagel, radiology technologist. Boecker introduced Carol Johnston, cardiac cath lab manager, who explained the assessment that led to Wilson’s developing a low risk diagnostic cardiac cath lab. Johnston said, “Eighty percent of the heart catheterization procedures that are being performed on patients within our communities meet certain criteria to be considered low risk and can be done at Wilson Memorial with the implementation of a cardiac cath/interventional lab service. Our goal with the opening of the cath lab is to allow patients to stay close to home for their diagnostic cardiac healthcare needs.” Johnston also explained the capabilities and services of the cath lab and enhancements to Wilson Memorial’s repertoire of services available to the community. She shared the reasoning for re-establishment of the cath lab at Wilson Memorial stating, “Some of you may recall that Wilson Memorial performed cardiac cath procedures in the past. In 2007, we came to a point where we needed to invest in our cath lab and purchase new medical equipment. At that time, the government was considering mandates requiring hospitals to perform a certain
number of cases to remain open. Due to high equipment costs and these regulatory guidelines, Wilson Memorial made a business decision to voluntarily stop providing cath lab services. Since then, we have focused on developing partnerships with two premier cardiology groups in the area and our physician support stronger than ever.” Wilson Memorial made a commitment of $1.5 million to ensure that the cath lab was equipped with the highest quality equipment available. The demolition is complete and the renovation and installation of the new lab located in the outpatient surgery area has begun, with the opening date set for early June. Scheid clarified what a cardiac cath/interventional lab is. He said, “Diagnostic cardiac catheterization (or a heart cath) is the insertion of a catheter into a chamber or vessel of the heart. During a cardiac catheterization, interventional cardiologists thread a thin catheter through blood vessels and into the coronary arteries. Using digital imaging, they look for signs of heart disease and determine the size and location of fat and calcium deposits that may narrow the openings in the arteries.” Arabpour and Dr. Harvey Hahn shared their views on the cath lab and the value it brings to Wilson Memorial. Arabpour is a physician with the Heart Institute of Northwest Ohio Inc. Hahn is a physician with Sidney Cardiology, affiliated with Kettering Health Network. Both cardiology groups see and treat patients at Wilson Memorial. Ken Monnier, board chairman of the Wilson Memorial Hospital Foundation, said, “We’re also here tonight to celebrate our Wilson Society members, many of whom are here with us this evening. Tonight, we celebrate the addition of our newest member of the Wilson Society. This member has opted to remain anonymous, but this brings our Wilson Society total to 65 members and our 50th member since 2004. I hope you share our tremendous sense of pride in Wilson Memorial and the significant role that each of you have played in making Wilson the strong, viable hospital that it is today. If you have any questions about the Wilson Society, cath lab, or the hospital in general, please contact the foundation office at any time.” The Wilson Memorial Hospital Foundation exists solely to contribute to the financial support and betterment of Wilson Memorial Hospital. In doing so, the Foundation assists in maintaining and enhancing patient care services by providing funding for the purchase of essential technology and enhancing services.

This illness has been attributed to a “chemical imbalance.” The imbalance has to do with the production of brain chemicals by which brain cells communicate with each other. These chemicals

AND ENDS
SAN DIEGO (AP) — A man’s implanted heart defibrillator may have saved his life in an unexpected way — by stopping a knife. San Diego police say the 57-year-old got into an argument with an acquaintance early Thursday near some elevators at the trolley station for the Fashion Valley shopping mall.
Police say the acquaintance pulled a folding knife and stabbed the man in the chest. The knife hit the man's defibrillator, a device that shocks the heart if it gets dangerously out of rhythm. Police say the man was taken to a hospital with serious injuries. His name hasn’t been released.

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 Union branches are 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.
