Honoring our veterans But the monuments built to recognize their sacrifices decay, funds dry up to restore them

BY ANITA HOFSCHNEIDER The Associated Press HONOLULU (AP) — On the shoreline of Hawaii’s most famous beach, a decaying structure attracts little attention from wandering tourists.

A few glance curiously at the crumbling Waikiki Natatorium, a salt water pool built in 1927 as a memorial to the 10,000 soldiers from Hawaii who served in World War I. But the monument’s walls are caked with salt and rust, and passers-by are quickly diverted by the lure of sand and waves.

The faded structure has been closed to the public for decades, the object of seemingly endless debate over whether it should be demolished or restored to its former glory. The latest plan is to reSDN Photo/Luke Gronneberg place it with a beach, more practical for the state’s lucra- FORT LORAMIE American Legion members stand at attention during a prayer at a memorial See VETERANS/Page 5A service for U.S. military veterans at Beechwood Cemetery Saturday.

Sidney grad to perform CITY RECORD Fire, rescue in final choir concert

BY MELANIE SPEICHER mspeicher@civitasmedia.com

Marilyn Kies, 2013 concert features holiday music. Those attending donate canned goods as an admission price.

The spring concert is always held at the Shuster. Senior members of the choir will be recognized at the concert.

“Most of the seniors are with the choirs four or five years,” said Kies.

“There was one senior who was recognized for 10 years. There’s never been anyone with more than 10 years.”

Until now, that is.

“The choir has been a part of my life,” said Kies.

In addition to performing with the Children’s Choir, Kies has also performed in two Sidney High School musicals, been a member of the marching band and choir for four years.

She plans to attend Ohio State University, Columbus. While her major is undecided, she knows music will play a role in her studies.

Kies has performed with many different types of children for the past 11 years. The ones that have surprised her the most are the stu-

“They are very respectful,” said Kies. “I’ve really learned about the different ways people live.”

Every Tuesday Kies and her mom would travel the highway to Kettering for rehearsals.

“There is a time committment involved with the choir,” said Kies.

“Every Tuesday, we’d leave after school and get home around 9 p.m.”

Even after Kies got her driver’s license, her mom still made the trip with her. The two used the time of the road for mother-daughter bonding.

“My mom is my biggest supporter,” said Kies. “She’d pick me up at Fairlawn and drive us to Dayton every week.”

For 11 years, Marilyn Kies, 18, a 2013 graduate of Sidney High School, has made the journey from Sidney to Kettering to perform with the Kettering Childen’s Choir.

On Thursday, she will make her final trip as she performs in her final spring concert at the Shuster Performing Arts Center.

Kies, the daughter of Chuck and Kim Kies, of Sidney, began performing with the choir in 2002.

“My mom was looking around for choirs outside of school I could perform with,” said Kies. “She found the Children’s Kettering Choir online.”

After trying out, Kies became a member of the second level of the chorus. She was a member of it for two years.

“I loved it,” said Kies.

She was a member of the chorale for four years and the concert choir for three years.

For two years, she was a member of the concert choir and the capella choir.

“The capella choir sings only college level music and it’s very difficult,” said Kies.

For the past two years, she has only performed in the capella choir.

The choirs, she said, perform two concerts each year. The winter

State event includes Lehman Ten Lehman Catholic High School students participated in this year’s State Science Day held recently at The Ohio State University.

Five received superior ratings and five excellent ratings. The 65th annual event involved approximately 1,000 science research projects exhibited by students in grades 7-12 from schools across the state of Ohio.

Junior Grace Winhoven was Lehman Catholic’s top winner, receiving a superior rating and perfect score for her project “Anopheline and Culicidae Larval Population Dynamic in the Shawnee Prairie Swamp.”

She also received three special awards. She was the recipient of a Nursing Award from the Ohio Nurses Association, a Stone Laboratory Scholarship, and $100 from the Ohio Environmental Health Association. She is the daughter of Carrie Winhoven, of Greenville, and the late Joe Winhoven.

Senior Hayley Baker received a superior rating for her project “How Dirty is Your Makeup.”

She is the daughter of Cliff and Karen Baker, of Piqua.

Senior Lauren Bosway earned a superior rating for her project “The Effects of UV Light on the DNA of Yeast.” She is the daughter of Bill and Mary Bosway, of Sidney.

Freshman Diana Gibson earned a superior rating for her project “Does Water Quality Affect Plant Growth.” She is the daughter of Joe and Sonia Gibson, of Tipp City.

Junior Abigail Kramer received a superior for her project “The Effectiveness of Liquid Stain Remover.” She is the daughter of Tim and Angela Kramer, of Greenville.

Receiving excellent ratings were senior Michael Jacob, son of Bill and Peggy Jacob, of Sidney, for his project “Recycled Insulation;” sophomore A.J. Hemmelgarn, son of Jim and

Teresa Hemmelgarn, of Sidney, for his project “Biodegradable Spoons and their Effectiveness on the Environment;” Samantha senior Neumeier, daughter of Sam and Mary Neumeier, of Troy, for her project “The Optimization of Lactase;” senior Katie Rossman, daughter of Tom and Lisa Rossman, of Sidney, for her project “The Effectiveness of Personal Water Purification Systems;” and freshman Ana Vasquez, daughter of Salvador and Claudia Vasquez, of Troy, for her project “Does a Cell Phone Conversation Affect Reaction Time.”

For 60 years — and now with more than 50,000 alumni — State Science Day is the pinnacle of student originated, inquiry-based science education for Ohio’s students. The academic equivalent of a State athletic championship, this year’s event was the largest of its kind in the nation.

Drawing upon an annual base of more than 30,000 students at more than 1,000 local school science days or science fairs, more than 1,000 students in grades 7-12 from nearly 300 schools will be evaluated this year on their scientific research and communication skills, and will compete for more than 100 different scholarships and awards valued at more than $2,500,000.

First held in 1949, the 58th Annual State Science Day is sponsored by The Ohio Academy of Science, American Electric Power, The Ohio Environmental Education Fund, Boehringer Ingelheim Roxane Inc. and Battelle. State Science Day is hosted by The Ohio State University.

Lehman science teachers require participation in science fair for most of their classes.

Teachers of the students representing Lehman Catholic at the State Science Fair were Sister Ginny Scherer, Tracy Hall and Amanda Duritsch.

Board learns about program S&H Board of Trustees members heard about a program held recently and discussed the proposed budget for next year during their meeting.

Board members were told that Ron Swain, a benefits analyst with the Fairfield County Board of Developmental Disabilities, who has more than 19 years of experience, gave a presentation recently for parents and others from the community regarding the benefits of work. Swain told those in attendance about the work and benefit options available through SSDI, SSI, Medicare and Medicaid.

The program, attended by about 20 people, was given at the request of parents with children and young adults in the Transition to Employment program, which includes young people who are 14-22 years old. The program was important since it allowed parents and others to learn about information they need to know as S&H Products begins to implement the Employment First Initiative.

Board members reviewed the proposed draft budget for fiscal year 2013-14. The final budget will be voted on and approved at the June board meeting. The board discussed investment strategies during the meeting also.

Rick Husa, adult services director, told board members that work at S&H Products has remained fairly stable at approximately 70 percent capacity.

The S&H Products accountant attended a twoday presentation by Mark Knuckles on Commensurate Wage Compliance Training and the Affordable Care Act. Knuckles provides assistance to employers on “best practices” as they go forward in light of changes set to occur soon.

The next board meeting is scheduled for June 21.

2 NY vets of Edson’s Raiders recall WWII battles

BY CHRIS CAROLA Associated Press GLENS FALLS, N.Y. (AP) — Gerald West held the laminated sheet of paper fellow World War II combat veteran Robert Addison pulled from an old briefcase and perused the 300-plus names listed under the words, “Lest We Forget.”

“I knew quite a few of those guys,” said West, 93, who made the short drive to Addison’s home 45 miles north of Albany recently to reminisce about their wartime service with the legendary Edson’s Raiders, an elite Marine Corps unit that was the forerunnner of today’s U.S. Special Forces.

The document Addison keeps among his wartime mementos and literature lists the names of members of the 1st Marine Raider Battalion who died while fighting the Japanese in the South Pacific. Addison and West are among the dwindling number of Edson’s Raiders still alive. Out of an original roster of about 900 men, fewer than 150 are believed to survive, accordto Bruce ing Burlingham, historian for U.S. Marine Raider Association.

Dubbed Edson’s Raiders after their colorful, red-haired commander, Col. Merritt “Red Mike” Edson, the unit was the first U.S. ground force to attack Japan-held territory after Pearl Harbor.

fered more than 250 killed and wounded.

Bigger, bloodier battles awaited, but Edson’s Ridge and the Raiders hold a special place among leathernecks of all generations, according to Beth Crumley, a historian with the U.S. Marine Corps History Division.

“Anybody who has taken an interest in the history of the corps, they’re going to know the story about Edson and they’re going to know about the Raiders and know about the Battle of Edson’s Ridge,” she said.

After the Raiders’ next campaign on the island of New Georgia in the summer of 1943, Addison and West were sent back to the U.S. Addison was attending college as part of an officers program, and West was in Guam preparing for the invasion of Japan when the war ended.

They went their separate ways and didn’t get reacquainted until the early 1960s, when Addison moved to Glens Falls to become athletic director at a new community college. He ran into West at a Sears store where West was working, and they’ve remained close friends ever since.

“They were America’s first elite force unit and showed future units like the U.S. Army Special Forces what could be done with a handful of welldetermined, trained, well-armed troops against a determined enemy,” said Robert A. Buerlein, coauthor of “Our Kind of War: Illustrated Saga of the U.S. Marine Raiders of World War II.

THIS PHOTO provided by Skydive Warren County, Inc. shows Clarence Turner, an 87-year-old World War II veteran who parachuted into Japan, parachuting in tandem with instructor Jeff McGinnis at the Red Stewart Airfield near Waynesville Saturday.

Turner made the jump to generate attention for the plight of his 10-month-old great-grandson, Julian Couch, who suffers from a lung disease.

87-year-old skydives to support great-grandson WAYNESVILLE (AP) — An 87-year-old World War II veteran who parachuted into Japan has taken to the skies again in an effort to support his ailing great-grandson.

“Whatever little bit I can to do help, be glad I can do it,” explained Clarence Turner, of Fairfield in southwest Ohio.

He made the jump Saturday in tandem with an instructor at the Red Stewart Airfield near Waynesville. He wanted to generate attention for the plight of his 10-month-old great-grandson, Julian Couch, who suffers from a lung disease.

Julian is hospitalized in Columbus and his family faces mounting medical bills for the cost of a lung transplant, WLWT of Cincinnati reports. A fundraising event is planned for June 2.

The Couch family’s financial pressures were aggravated when their Hamilton home was burglarized while they were staying with the child in Columbus, Turner said.

“Today, I’m really jumping for Julian,” Turner told WLWT. “It’s the least I can do for him.”

Turner also made a jump at age 85, one he did then to fulfill a goal to experience freefalling thousands of feet and landing as he did in the Army. He said he served from 1944-47 and made a jump into Japan.

Besides helping Julian, Turner said with a smile that he also had another goal in mind — making a parachute jump at an older age than former President George H.W. Bush. Bush is also a World War II veteran and had to parachute over the Pacific in 1944 when his plane was shot down. Bush made jumps for his 75th, 80th and 85th birthdays.

“I’m going to beat George,” Turner said before the jump.

The former president said in 2009 when he jumped at age 85 that hoped to go again for his 90th birthday.

Kenya: Suspect arrested in 2010

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Today is Monday, May 27, the 147th day of 2013.

OUT OF THE BLUE Computer sells for $668,000 BERLIN (AP) — An auctioneer says one of Apple’s first computers — a functioning 1976 model — has been sold for a record 516,000 euros ($668,000).

German auction house Breker said Saturday an Asian client, who asked not to be named, bought the socalled Apple 1, which the tech company’s founders Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak built in a family garage.

Breker claims it is one of only six known remaining functioning models in the world. Breker already sold one last year for 492,000 euros.

It says the computer bears Wozniak's signature.

An old business transaction letter from the late Jobs also was included.

The Apple 1, which was sold for $666 in 1976, consisted of only the circuit board. A case, a keyboard and a screen had to be bought separately.

PRESIDENT BARACK Obama tours tornado area at Plaza Towers Elementary with Principal Amy Simpson in Moore, Okla., on Sunday. Obama visited tornado-devastated Moore, Oklahoma, consoling people staggered by the loss of life and property and promising that the government will be behind them “every step of the way.”

Obama: Gov’t with you ‘every step’ of the way

BY NEDRA PICKLER The Associated Press MOORE, Okla. (AP) — President Barack Obama visited tornado-devastated Moore, Okla., Sunday, consoling people staggered by the loss of life and property and promising that the government will be behind them “every step of the way.”

“I’m just a messenger here,” the president said, saying “folks are behind you” across America. He offered moral and monetary support in the wake of the monstrous EF5 tornado that killed 24 people, including 10 children, last Monday afternoon.

Standing with Gov. Mary Fallin and other state and federal officials, Obama noted a substantial rebuilding job ahead and said that “our hearts go out to you.”

“This is a strong community with strong character.

There’s no doubt they will bounce back,” he said. “But they need help.”

The White House said the Federal Emergency Manage-

ment Agency has already provided $57 million in rebates and incentives to help build about 12,000 storm shelters in Oklahoma. “These storm shelters can be the difference between life and death,” presidential spokesman Josh Earnest told reporters accompanying Obama to Oklahoma on Air Force One. For Obama, Sunday’s visit had an all-too-familiar ring.

Only five months into his second term, he has traveled to the northeast to console people in the wake of the Boston Marathon bombing, and visited Connecticut and Arizona to comfort people traumatized by shooting rampages. He also has undertaken his consoler-in-chief role at the site of plant explosions and mine disasters, not to mention a series of natural disasters including Joplin, Mo., and the Jersey Shore, which was heavily damaged

by Superstorm Sandy last year.

Once on the ground, Obama urged the American people to make contributions,

saying the damage was “pretty hard to comprehend.”

Shortly after his arrival on a partly cloudy day, Obama rode past grassy fields strewn with scattered debris, witnessing devastation so awesome that it appeared as if garbage had literally rained from the sky. His first stop was the demolished site of the Plaza Towers Elementary School, where seven students were killed when the tornado turned the one-story building into a heap of bricks, broken concrete and twisted metal.

“I know this is tough,” he told superintendent Susie Pierce as he gripped her hand. As he walked, the demolished school was on his left and on his right, homes as far as the eye could see were reduced to piles of rubble. Vehicles were turned upside down and toys like a pink doll carriage and children’s books were strewn with furniture and ripped out wall insulation. Every tree had been stripped of its leaves and bark.

Rockets signal Syrian spillover BEIRUT (AP) — Two rockets hit Hezbollah strongholds in Beirut on Sunday, tearing through an apartment and peppering cars with shrapnel, a day after the Lebanese group’s leader pledged to lift President Bashar Assad to victory in Syria’s civil war.

The strikes illustrated the potential backlash against Hezbollah at home for linking its fate to the survival of the Assad regime. It’s a gambit that also threatens to pull fragile Lebanon deeper into Syria’s bloody conflict.

Despite such risks, Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah made it clear there is no turning back. In a televised speech Saturday, he said Hezbollah will keep fighting alongside Assad’s forces until victory, regardless of the costs.

For Hezbollah, it may well be an existential battle. If Assad falls, Hezbollah’s supply line of Iranian weapons through Syrian territory would dry up and it could become increasingly isolated in the region.

At the same time, Hezbollah, a Shiite Muslim group, is raising the sectarian stakes in Lebanon by declaring war on Syria’s rebels, most of them Sunni Muslims.

Lebanon and Syria share the same uneasy mix of Sunnis, Shiites, Christians and Alawites, or followers of an offshoot of Shiite Islam. In trying to defeat the rebels, Assad relies on support from minority Shiites, Christians and his fellow Alawites.

On Beirut’s beach promenade, opinions about Hezbollah’s new strategy seemed to fall along religious lines.

Mahmoud Masoud, a Sunni, said he fears Lebanon will become more unstable. “I don’t want to see everything I’ve worked for and my country fall apart of because of a certain group’s interests,” he said of Hezbollah.

Tamam Alameh, a Shiite, sided with Hezbollah. “The Syrians helped Lebanon a lot. We should help them and rid them of the conflict in their country,” he said.

VETERANS tive tourism industry — and millions of dollars cheaper, according to state and local officials. They say a full restoration could cost nearly $70 million.

The corroding monument has challenged the community to maneuver a delicate question: How do we honor those who have served when memorials deteriorate and finances are tight?

Similar debates have been playing out across the nation.

The National Trust for Historic Preservation waged a 2year fight to restore the aging Tomb of the Unknowns in Arlington National Cemetery in Washington, D.C., when some people proposed replacing it.

Far less disagreement surrounded a decision to update the War Memorial Opera House in San Francisco after a powerful earthquake in 1989.

In Greensboro, N.C., residents have been grappling with what to do with the city’s own decaying tribute to the soldiers of World War I. The Greensboro World War Memorial Stadium hosted

minor league baseball for decades and even served as a location for notable sports films such as “Leatherheads” and “Bull Durham.”

Yet, despite continued use by kids and college-level athletes, the structure is falling into disrepair.

The historic pebbled facade is falling off, and some of the bleachers are blocked off because of crumbling concrete, said David Wharton, a Greensboro resident who is fighting as a member of his neighborhood association to restore the structure.

It’s been a losing battle. The city rejected two referendums to fund renovations and chose to build a new stadium for minor league baseball instead of fixing up the old one.

As a classics professor at University of North CarolinaGreensboro, Wharton has a soft spot for historic places. But he recognizes there are many other priorities competing for the millions of dollars it would take to restore the stadium.

A city group is exploring different ways to use the space,

NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) — A suspect in last week’s savage killing of a British soldier on a London street was arrested in Kenya in 2010 while apparently preparing to train and fight with al-Qaida-linked Somali militants, an anti-terrorism police official said Sunday.

Michael Adebolajo, who was carrying a British passport, was then handed over to British authorities in the East country, another African Kenyan official said.

The information surfaced as London’s Metropolitan Police said specialist firearms officers arrested a man Sunday suspected of conspiring to murder 25-year-old British soldier Lee Rigby. Police gave few details about the suspect, only saying he is 22 years old.

The arrest brought to nine the number of suspects who have been taken into custody regarding Rigby’s horrific killing in London. Two have been released without charge, and one was released on bail pending further questioning.

No one has been charged in the case.

The British soldier, who had served in Afghanistan, was run over, then stabbed with knives in the Woolwich area in southeast London on Wednesday afternoon as he was walking near his barracks.

Adebolajo, 28, and Michael Adebowale, 22, are the main suspects in the killing and remained under armed guard in separate London hospitals after police shot them at the scene.

In 2010, Adebolajo was arrested with five others near Kenya’s border with Somalia, Kenya’s anti-terrorism police unit chief Boniface Mwaniki told The Associated Press. Police believed Adebolajo was going to work with Somali militant group al-Shabab.

A video clip from a local TV station appears to show Adebolajo speaking during a court hearing in the Kenyan city of Mombasa on Nov. 23, 2010. He says, “These people are mistreating us. We are innocent.

Believe me,” shortly before leaving the court with five other suspects.

Mwaniki said that Adebolajo was deported from Kenya after his arrest in 2010. Kenya’s government spokesman said he was arrested under a different name, and taken to court before being handed to British authorities.

“Kenya’s government arrested Michael Olemindis Ndemolajo. We handed him to British security agents in Kenya, and he seems to have found his way to London and mutated to Michael Adebolajo,” spokesman Muthui Kariuki said.

From Page 1 and preservation advocates hope the monument can be saved even if that means changing the stadium’s purpose.

For many residents, the structure’s architectural and historic significance pales in comparison to more immediate needs.

“The war was a long time ago,” Wharton said. “I don’t think it’s meaningful for most people.”

Sometimes, communities decide that memorials aren’t worth the price.

In Michigan’s upper peninsula, the Wakefield Memorial Building once stood as a grand structure overlooking a lake in Wakefield, an old mining town.

The memorial, built in 1924 to commemorate the sacrifices of World War I soldiers, was expansive, including a banquet hall, meeting room and theater.

By the 1950s, the community couldn’t afford the upkeep of the building and sold it to a private owner. Over the years, there were attempts to renovate the structure. But it was

deemed too expensive and by 2010, the building was demolished.

John Siira, the city manager, said there are plans to build a new memorial at the site, including a City Hall and library.

But the project is on hold, and Siira said he’s not sure when construction will start or when the project will pick up again.

The lot where the building used to stand is now an empty lawn. The snow melted just last week, remnants of a long winter.

In Honolulu, the fight over the beachside memorial is far from over.

Jason Woll, who manages the beaches and parks in Waikiki, says the salty air, crashing waves and decadesold construction material have contributed to the memorial’s demise.

“Unfortunately this may have had its day in the sun,” Woll said. “It’s a World War I memorial but quite frankly, it looks like it’s been through war.”

years ago, wanting to do something to help animals, I decided to distribute free dog and cat food at the food bank here on Maui to people who are there to obtain food for themselves. I reasoned that if they are having difficulty feeding themselves, they would no doubt have difficulty feeding their pets. It is a big success and an idea I wish would catch on across the country. At first we paid for the food ourselves, but

DR. WALLACE: If you don’t print my letter, I won’t know who to turn to next. I’m 16 and love a guy who is 18. My dad owns an auto-repair shop, and he works for my dad. My problem is that he has a girlfriend.

He sees me behind her back, and every time he does, we have sex. I told him to break up with his girlfriend, but he won’t.

He said he thinks of me as his little sister. What should I do? Sometimes I think that he is just using me. —Nameless, San Diego, Calif.

NAMELESS: This guy is using you. Whenever he wants sex, you, foolishly, grant his wish.

When he satisfies his urge, he forgets about you until the next time.

Stop seeing this guy immediately. The “ingredients” in love include mutual trust, respect, forgiveness and understanding. Sex should never enter into a dating relationship. P.S: Most guys protect their “little

sisters.” They don’t abuse them!

DR. WALLACE: Jenny and I were friends since second grade, but for the past year or so, all she did was try to get me in trouble — at school, with my parents, with other friends and even with my boyfriend.

I must admit that there are times I miss Jenny, but after all the trouble she got me into, we will never be close friends again. Many times I told her things in strict confidence only to have it come back to me from family or friends. She would never tell big lies about me, but she often exaggerated greatly what I said.

My boyfriend said that she has a mental problem and that I should forgive her. No matter what she has or doesn’t have, forgiveness is out of the question.

Danny became active in the Texas Capital Chapter 1919 of the Military Order of the Purple Heart, (MOPH) an organization of veterans who were awarded Purple Hearts. He started to think about his Army buddies. He decided to try to find some of them.

A year ago, Danny called Jon and left a voice message on the phone: “If you’re the Jon Baker who was in Vietnam and we called each other ‘Cuz,’ call me back.”

Jon called and they had shared several more phone calls during the ensuing months. Danny invited Jon to join his chapter of the MOPH, and Jon did.

“I saw in a newsletter that Danny was going to be installed as the company commander on May 18. It had been

“It was very emotional,” Jon said. The Texas Bakers invited Jon to stay at their house instead of a motel for the weekend and the two old friends got caught up on what happened in their Army company after Jon left and on what had happened in their lives.

Danny discovered that Jon likes doughnuts, so they visited Round Rock Donuts, made famous by television foodies.

“We just had a wonderful, wonderful time. We regret not getting together until 45 years later when we were only 45 miles apart,” Danny said. “I’m hard to surprise, but he pulled it off. I can’t get over his coming here.”

Jon reported that there was really only one answer to that: “It’s the least I could do,” he said. “After all, you came to see me in the hospital.”

So Jon flew to Austin, Texas, May 17 and arrived at the ceremony early to meet with the outgoing commander. When Danny arrived, the commander said, “Here’s someone I want you to meet. This is your cuz.”

“That kind of went by me,” Danny told the Sidney Daily News by phone Friday. “Then he said, ‘I’m Jon Baker.’”

As Jon tells it, Danny dropped his arms, dropped his shoulders, moved back a step or two.

“I teared up,” Danny admitted. Then the two friends fell into a giant hug. A 45-years-in-

When Sidney resident and Army veteran Jon Baker commemorates Memorial Day today, he’ll spend some time remembering buddies who served with him in the Vietnam War. And he’ll pull a big grin as he thinks about a reunion after 45 years that he engineered just last week.

“Danny Baker and I went through infantry training (AIT) together at Fort Jackson, S.C., in the summer of 1968,” Jon told the Sidney Daily News Friday.

Danny was from Kettering.

“We became friends because our last name was Baker,” Jon said. After AIT, soldiers shipped out to Vietnam.

“In those days, you didn’t go as a unit. For the most part, you went your separate ways and never saw each other again,” Jon said. So the Baker buddies were delighted when, after using different routes and modes of transportation to get there, they landed in the same company in Vietnam: the Americal Division, 198th Infantry Brigade, Company D. “We started telling everybody we were first cousins,” Jon said. “Everybody thought that was something, that cousins would end up in the same company.” Everyone believed them, including their company commander.

When Jon was wounded for the second time with multiple shrapnel wounds, the commander pulled Danny out of the field to visit his cousin, Jon, in the hospital. “(Danny) was all excited and thanking me because he had a day out of combat,” Jon said.

Danny visited for a couple of hours and left. They didn’t know that it would be 45 years before they would see each other again.

Jon was sent to Japan to recuperate. Danny was wounded several months later.

After the war, each returned to his home town, but they didn’t keep in touch. Jon became the co-owner of Sidney Manufacturing. Danny went to work for General Motors.

Both are now retired, although Danny works as a substitute teacher.

Seven years ago, Danny and his wife moved to Round Rock,

Tips for maintaining waterways Grass waterways are an important part of a f a r m ’s overall s o i l conservation p l a n , Conservation b u t in the County producRyan Evers ers and landowners have to work at maintaining them or they cannot fulfill their function.

Grass waterways are permanent strips of grass seeded in areas of cropland where water concentrates and flows off a field. The grass prevents the water from forming a gully and traps some sediment. In addition, the vegetation absorbs some of the chemicals and nutrients in the runoff water, and provides habitat for small animals and birds.

For maintenance of grass waterways, it is recommended to lift equipment out of the ground and shut off spray equipment when crossing the waterway.

Photo provided

THIS PHOTOGRAPH shows how a farmer has successfully created a grass waterway.

Encourage commercial applicators to do the same. Do not use the waterway as a roadway.

Tracks can turn into gullies in single, intense rain events. Do not overgraze or allow livestock trails to form. These can quickly turn into gullies.

Fertilize cool season grasses regularly at a rate of 30 to 40 pounds of nitrogen per acre between November and mid March.

Many producers fertilize waterways when they top-dress wheat. Mow periodically, but don’t mow between April 20 and July 15 when birds are nesting. It’s important to mow grass because it encourages the formation of a dense sod.

Also, shorter, thick grass is more effective at trapping sediment than tall grass, which will lay over during an intense rain event.

Be careful not to till into the edges of the waterway and avoid end rows planted parallel along the waterway. Both may allow gullies to form on the waterway edge. If bare spots appear, reseed with sod-forming grasses. If gullies form; fill, reshape, and reseed.

Wind turbines not all they’re cracked up to be

Dam Safety Program which brings the federal government, state agencies, and local stakeholders together to ensure dam safety is so important. Right now, Ohio’s aging water infrastructure includes more than 900 hazardous or potentially hazardous dams. Of these 900, more than 400 of the dams are designated as “highhazard,” meaning that they could cause loss of life and/or significant damage to surrounding properties should they fail. More than 500 are designated as “significant-hazard,” meaning failure could result in economic loss, environmental damage, flooding of highways or railroads, or impact other concerns.

Whether classified as a “high-hazard” or “significant-hazard,” neither is acceptable for our state.

We must do everything we can to ensure that our dams are sound.

But unfortunately, among thousands of dams in our state, far too many lack a basic, emergency action plan (EAP). In other words, if a dam breaks and communities flood, families, and business owners

would be ill-prepared for an emergency. We know that site-specific EAPs are useful in both identifying potential hazards and minimizing the likelihood that they occur. It just makes sense to ensure that all Ohio communities and homeowners located near dams are protected.

That’s why the Water Resources Development Act is so important to Ohio. This legislation includes critical resources for dam inspections and maintenance.

First, it would help state and local emergency management agency’s create action plans. Next, it would identify potential hazards before an emergency involving dams and levees occurs. Finally, it would create an inundation map that shows which areas would be affected by dam failure.

Together, we can move forward and create safer communities.

Passing the Water Resources Development Act will help ensure that Ohio water resources will continue to promote economic growth, create jobs, and serve our communities.

Expanding inefficient federal programs not in Ohio’s best interest

EDITORIAL

Cherish your pets

tend the reach of the federal government into the states was not the right action to take.

Should the Obama administration fail to uphold its end of the bargain, which is a real possibility considering the irresponsible spending taking place in Washington, it would place serious strain on future state budgets.

Therefore, after nearly 70 hours of debate and testimony on the budget, Medicaid expansion was stripped from the bill. Shortly after the bill passed out of the House, the Senate announced that it also will not include expansion in its budget proposal.

The budget does require that legislation be introduced this year that will be focused on reducing the number of

Ohioans dependent on Medicaid, seek ways to lower the net state and federal costs for the program, and promote workforce readiness and educational services. In west central Ohio, we call these types of changes reform. Working to get people the help they need to get off government assistance was an issue to large to be fully scrutinized in the budget.

I opposed Obamacare from the very beginning. It is critical that we make smart decisions regarding healthcare policy. Allowing a huge program that has doubled in cost just during the past decade to get even bigger is not a smart, or responsible, way of addressing healthcare in the state of Ohio.

gation, the Obama administration may ask Congress for the power to snoop on more types of communication online. The timing couldn’t be worse, given the outcry over the Justice Department secretly grabbing journalists’ phone records and emails in its pursuit of government leakers.

The bigger issue with what the FBI is seeking, though, is that it applies 20th century assumptions about surveillance to 21st century technologies.

Congress passed the Wiretap Act in 1968 to give federal investigators the power to listen in on suspects’ phone calls if they obtained a federal court’s permission. The advent of wireless phones and digital networks led the feds to worry about their ability to monitor suspects who used new technologies, so lawmakers amended the law to require telecommunications companies to build wiretap capabilities into their networks.

That requirement,

however, applies only to service providers that use or connect to the traditional phone grid.

These days, there’s a growing number of ways to communicate through data networks that don’t use any part of the phone grid, including online teleconferencing and virtual telephones built into instant-message programs …

The irony is that the Internet is actually making it easier for the feds to gather information about suspects without warrants. As the Center for Democracy and Technology pointed out, the widespread use of GPSequipped mobile phones has effectively put a tracking device in the pocket of virtually every suspect. Combine that with the information collected online about the websites people visit, the material they download, the friends they keep and the people with whom they communicate, and it hardly seems as if the FBI is being left in the dark.

Finally, a 500 for Kanaan INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Tony Kanaan had one more lap, one anticlimactic last lap under the yellow caution flag, to end 12 years of frustration in the Indianapolis 500.

He flipped up his visor to wipe away tears as the crowd roared its approval, and then in Victory Lane gave his bride of two months a long kiss and poured the celebratory winner’s milk over his head.

Kanaan is Indy’s hard-luck loser no more. He is its champion at last, fittingly with a dose of good luck for a change.

“I have to say, the last lap was the longest lap of my life,” Kanaan said.

It was one of Indy’s most popular victories.

The losers were pleased with the outcome, evidenced by a scene similar to rivals lining up to congratulate Dale Earnhardt when he finally won the Daytona 500 on his 20th try. Dario Franchitti, whose crash brought out the race-ending caution, stood grinning by his crumpled car, two thumbs up as Kanaan passed under yellow.

“When I saw who was leading, it cheered me up a little bit,” said Franchitti, last year’s winner. “He’s a very, very deserving winner.”

The fans thought so, too, standing on their feet, screaming “TK! TK! TK!” as he and team owner Jimmy Vasser went by during the traditional victory lap. It felt magical to Kanaan, like he had given the crowd at Indianapolis Motor Speedway a gift.

“It means a lot to me because so many people, I could feel that they wanted me to win, and it’s such a selfish thing to do because what are they getting from it?” Kanaan said. “I’m the one who gets the trophy. I believed that this win was more for people out there than for me.

“I wanted it all my life, but over the years I was kind of OK with the fact that I may never have the chance to win.”

His chance came at the end of a history-making race at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, where Kanaan knew he had to pounce at the green flag for the final restart with three laps to go. He did, zipping inside leader Ryan HunterReay to roar to the lead — where he wanted to be in case another caution came out.

“I knew I had to get the

Bullpen collapses, Reds lose CINCINNATI (AP) — Johnny Cueto woke up the Chicago Cubs.

The Cincinnati right-hander had a four-run lead when he threw a pitch over the head of David DeJesus with one out in the sixth inning Sunday, drawing a warning from plate umpire Bob Davidson.

Chicago rebounded as Alfonso Soriano hit a tying tworun homer in the eighth inning and Welington Castillo had a go-ahead double in the 10th. The 5-4 victory stopped a season-high, six-game losing streak.

“That just goes to show, don’t wake a sleeping dog,” Cubs starter Matt Garza said.

“That’s immature on his part. ... If he wants to say something to me, he knows where my locker is. If he’s got a problem, he can throw at me, and I’ll do the same. Hopefully, he grows ... up. I hope he hears this. I really don’t care. I don’t know if there’s anything between him and (DeJesus), but I’ll stop it. I don’t think you intentionally try to injure somebody. I hope the league looks at it. I don’t want him suspended or anything. I hope his players talk to him and show him the way it is.”

Cubs manager Dale Sveum thought the high pitch to Cueto was a response to DeJesus taking his time to get in the batter’s box.

CINCINNATI REDS first baseman Joey Votto (19) tosses the ball to starting pitcher Johnny Cueto (47) in the fifth inning of a baseball game against the Chicago Cubs Sunday in Cincinnati.

“He wasn’t trying to hit him,” Sveum said. “I think it woke us up. At least it woke up the bench.”

Cueto, who gave up one run and four hits in seven innings, wasn’t in the Reds clubhouse after the game, and manager Dusty Baker wasn’t asked about it. Baker was more concerned about the unavailability of relievers Jonathan

Broxton and Aroldis Chapman, who both had pitched two straight days.

“We went as far as we could with Johnny,” Baker said. “We had to turn it over to some other guys. They’ve got a job to do. That’s what they get paid to do. This is how they make their money. This one got away. We’ll start a new streak tomorrow. We’ve been

playing good ball.”

Cincinnati, which had won five straight and 16 of 20, plays the Cubs next in a fourgame series at Wrigley Field starting June 10.

Soriano singled in the seventh and scored Chicago’s first run off Cueto on Luis Valbuena’s two-out single.

Anthony Rizzo hit an RBI double against Logan Ondrusek in the eighth — his third double in two games — and Soriano followed with his fifth homer of the season and first since May 13, a 394-foot drive to left-center.

J.J. Hoover (0-4) walked Scott Hairston with two outs in the 10th, and Castillo followed with his double into the left-field corner.

Kevin Gregg (1-0) pitched 1 1-3 hitless innings, stopping the Reds’ five-game winning streak.

Garza, making his second start of the season after coming off the disabled list, allowed four hits and four walks, threw a wild pitch and hit a batter. Cincinnati scored all of its runs in the fourth.

Jay Bruce hit a solo homer, his seventh of the season and sixth in his last 22 games.

Ryan Hanigan hit a fly ball to deep straightaway center field with two on, and David DeJesus almost made a spectacular diving catch with his back to the plate.

SPORTS IN BRIEF ND suspends QB Golson Weekley wins at Colonial SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) — Everett Golson is out for at least the fall semester at Notre Dame, saying he has been suspended by the university for what he called poor academic judgment.

“I take full responsibility for my poor choices and will do all that is asked of me to regain the trust of my family, friends, teammates, coaches and the entire Notre Dame community,” he wrote in a letter released Sunday by the university.

Golson was officially no longer enrolled at Notre Dame as of Friday, university spokesman Dennis Brown said Saturday night.

Golson helped the Irish go 12-0 during the regular season last year, regain the No. 1 ranking for the first time in nearly two decades and get to the national title game against Alabama in January. Coach Brian Kelly was counting on him to play an even bigger role in 2013 after his play steadily improved throughout last season.

Golson did not specify what he did to get suspended, and wrote that he understands his integrity could be in question.

“But I want to reassure my supporters that through this experience I will return a better student athlete as well as a better individual,” he said.

He said he chose to attend Notre Dame because of its mission to develop him both on and off the field.

“My parents and the community I grew up in have instilled values in me that have and will continue to allow me to be successful in the future. There have been many lessons learned as

NOTRE DAME quarterback Everett Golson sprints out of the pocket during the first half of a spring NCAA college football game in South Bend, Ind. A Notre Dame spokesman says Golson is no longer enrolled at the school.

I worked to become the starting quarterback at Notre Dame and each was a result of Coach Kelly’s belief in me as an athlete and a person,” he wrote.

He also thanked the university for the opportunity it already has given him and the opportunity to retain his eligibility in January.

“At this point, I understand how my integrity could be in question but I want to reassure my supporters that through this experience I will return a better student athlete as well as a better individual,” Golson said.

“Lastly, I want to thank the University of Notre Dame for the opportunity already granted and also the opportunity going forth to regain my eligibility in the winter

of 2014.”

Golson did not respond to telephone or text messages left by The Associated Press.

Athletic Director Jack Swarbrick declined to elaborate on Golson’s situation earlier in the day.

Brown said the university would have nothing to add to Golson’s statement.

Golson’s abrupt exit leaves the Irish unsettled at a position they were hoping would be a strength in 2013. The most likely replacement is Tommy Rees, the 2011 starter who played key roles in four victories last season when Golson either struggled or was injured.

Golson completed 58.8 percent of his passes last year for 2,405 yards with 12 touchdown passes and

six interceptions. He also ran for 298 yards and team-high six touchdowns.

Notre Dame also has Andrew Hendrix, a senior with no starts, and freshman Malik Zaire at quarterback.

So now quarterback is question mark for the Irish and Golson’s future with Notre Dame is uncertain.

One thing is clear: The good feelings in South Bend produced by the best Notre Dame football season in more than two decades have been muted by everything that has come after 12-0.

It started with an embarrassing 42-14 loss against Alabama in the BCS title game, when the Crimson Tide scored on their first three possessions and jumped to a 35-0 lead.

That was quickly followed by news Kelly had interviewed for the vacant Philadelphia Eagles job the day after the BCS game.

Then the bizarre.

Part Manti Te’o’s inspirational story turned out to be the result of an elaborate hoax. The dead girlfriend that supposedly inspired throughout his Heisman Trophy run did not exist. He had been duped and embarrassed.

Since then, it’s been a series of smaller setbacks.

In March, Kelly announced Gunner Kiel, one of the top-rated quarterbacks coming out of high school a year ago, was leaving before even trying to challenge Golson for the starter’s job during spring practice.

Kiel transferred to Cincinnati.

NCAA rules would permit Kiel to return, but texted “I’m a Bearcat” to The (Cincinnati) Enquirer.

FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — Boo Weekley made three consecutive birdies in the middle of his round to take the lead at Colonial, and finished with a 4-under 66 on Sunday for his first PGA Tour victory in five years.

Weekley never trailed after those birdies on Nos. 8-10, which came about the same time Scott Stallings made double bogey at No. 15 to drop out of the lead.

At 14-under 266, Weekley finished a stroke ahead of Matt Kuchar, the second- and third-round leader who closed with a 68. Defending Colonial champion Zach Johnson, who also won at Hogan's Alley in 2010, shot 66 to finish third at 12 under for his first top-10 finish this season.

Bosox rally to beat Tribe BOSTON (AP) — Jacoby Ellsbury walked to the plate thinking he had an advantage. One pitch later, he was running away from his celebrating teammates.

Ellsbury hit a game-ending, two-run double on Joe Smith's first pitch, capping a four-run, ninthinning rally that lifted the Boston Red Sox over the Cleveland Indians 6-5 Sunday.

Cleveland led 5-2 entering the ninth, when Chris Perez (2-1) walked Dustin Pedroia leading off.

David Ortiz doubled, and Mike Napoli and Jarrod Saltalamacchia hit consecutive RBI groundouts.

Venus loses in first round PARIS (AP) — Grimacing after some poor shots, leaning forward with hands on knees while catching her breath after others, Venus Williams left the French Open after the first round for the first time since 2001.

Williams, a seven-time Grand Slam champion and former No. 1-ranked player seeded 30th at Roland Garros, felt hampered by a bad back, had problems with her serve — all sorts of strokes, actually — and lost 7-6 (5), 6-7 (4), 6-4 Sunday to 40th-ranked Urszula Radwanska of Poland, who never has been past the second round of a major tournament.

Long lines anger Indy fans INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Tighter security imposed at the Indianapolis 500 after the Boston Marathon bombings caused bottlenecks Sunday that angered hundreds of fans who stood in line for up to two hours to enter the speedway and said some security officials largely abandoned their checks as the green flag was waved.

Massive crowds swelled outside the Indianapolis Motor Speedway entrances as security guards clad in yellow shirts set out to check every ice cooler to make sure it met new size limits and wasn't carrying any contraband. Sheriff's deputies stood nearby in case things got out of hand.

Fans whose coolers violated the size limits were told to lug them back to their cars, in some cases parked several blocks away in makeshift lots that charged as much as $75.

Introducing...

3 NEW Equity Programs

Wind electricity receives more subsidies per megawatthour than every other electricity generation technology...

According to the US Department of Energy’s energy Information Administration (EIA), wind received 42% of all electricity generation subsidies in exchange for producing less than 3% of our electricity and virtually none of our grid dependability services.

That figure doesn’t include additional federal programs such as wind-specific five year double declining accelerated depreciation schedule from the IRS, numerous federal grants and loan guarantees and an artificial market for“intermittent generators” inherent in recent state mandates for renewable electricity.

Someone’s not being honest in an attempt to sway Sidney and Shelby County voters and county commissioners.

Did You Know?

• Memorial Day was was first observed on May 30, 1868.

• Memorial Day was originally called “Decoration Day.” • Memorial Day was originally created to honor Union soldiers who died while fighting in the Civil War. Because of this, southern states did not observe Memorial Day until after World War I, when the holiday was expanded to include soldiers from all wars.

• In 1924, an artificial poppy factory was created in Pittsburgh, Pa., and employed veterans who needed work.

• Memorial Day observances were at an all-time low in the 1960′s, then experienced a resurgence in the 1980′s.

• On the Thursday before Memorial Day, soldiers from the 3rd U.S. Infantry (The Old Guard) place small American flags at each of the more than 260,000 gravestones at Arlington National Cemetery.

They patrol the cemetery 24 hours a day during the weekend to ensure that each flag remains standing.

• In 2004, Washington D.C. held its first Memorial Day parade in over 60 years.

This coincided with the dedication of the National World War II Memorial.

• “Memorial Day” did not become the holiday’s official name until 1967, when federal law declared it.

• In 1968, Memorial Day was moved from its traditional May 30 date to the last Monday in May in order to ensure a three-day weekend.

Memorial Day is more than just a three-day weekend and a chance to get the year’s first sunburn.

Memorial Day was a response to the unprecedented carnage of the Civil War, in which some 620,000 soldiers on both sides died. The loss of life and its effect on communities throughout the North and South led to spontaneous commemorations of the dead: In 1864, women from Boalsburg, Pa., put flowers on the graves of their dead from the just-fought Battle of Gettysburg. The next year, a group of women decorated the graves of soldiers buried in a Vicksburg, Miss., cemetery.

In April 1866, women from Columbus, Miss., laid flowers on the graves of both Union and Confederate soldiers. It was recognized at the time as an act of healing regional wounds. In the same month, up in Carbondale, Ill., 219 Civil War veterans marched through town in memory of the fallen to Woodlawn Cemetery, where Union hero Maj. Gen. John A. Logan delivered the principal address. The ceremony gave Carbondale its claim to the first organized, community-wide Memorial Day observance.

Waterloo, N.Y., began holding an annual community service on May 5, 1866. Although many towns claimed the title, it was Waterloo that won congressional recognition as the “birthplace of Memorial Day.” Three years after the Civil War ended, on May 5, 1868, the head of the Grand Army of the Republic (GAR) established Decoration Day as a time for the nation to decorate the graves of the war dead with flowers. Maj. Gen. John A. Logan declared that Decoration Day should be observed on May 30.

This date was chosen because flowers would be in bloom all over the country.

From the practice of decorating graves with flowers, wreaths and flags, the holiday was long known as Decoration Day. The name Memorial Day goes back to 1882, but the older

In 1915, inspired by the poem “In Flanders Fields,” Moina Michael replied with her own poem.

friends and co-workers with the money going to benefit servicemen in need.

Since the late 1950′s on the Thursday just before Memorial Day, around 1200 soldiers of the 3d U.S. Infantry place small American flags at each of the more than 260,000 gravestones at Arlington National Cemetery.

The time was chosen because 3 p.m. “is the time when most Americans are enjoying their freedoms on the national holiday.”

And in 2004, Washington D.C. held its first Memorial Day parade more than 60 years.

While you have your paints out you can paint a sheet or two green if you want to make a few poppy leaves.

You need to cut 2 circles out of your thin cardboard for each flower.

Cut some poppy shaped petals out of your painted paper. They are a bit heart shaped. You need about 5 for each flower.

Place a bead of glue around the inner edge of one of your cardboard circles and put your petals into place.

Take your second cardboard circle, cover with glue and sprinkle poppy seeds all over it, press down with your fingers to make sure those seeds are secure.

Put some glue in the center of your

petals and glue your poppy seed circle into place.

Cut a circle out of the felt that is slightly larger than the 2 cardboard circles.

Put some glue on the back of your poppy, place twig in the center and cover with the black felt pressing it to surround the twig.

The felt holds the twig in place.

Let dry. You can cut out some poppy leaves from the green painted paper if you wish and glue them to the twig.

If your poppies will be seen from the back as well as the front you might want to paint both sides of the paper.

FORT LORAMIE — Fort Loramie High School’s 81st commencement exercises were held Sunday at the school Sunday as 50 members of the Class of 2013 received diplomas.

Principal Justin M. Firks provided introductions for the ceremonies.

The first speaker of the day was Valedictorian Brandon Eilerman, who spoke about the changes coming for his fellow graduates.

“Today, we begin a new chapter in our lives. We all are getting the possibility to not only start over, but to go out and achieve our dreams,” Eilerman said. “This is just the beginning.

The past 13 years of school have just been preparation. We now are celebrating this preparation as we progress into the next phase,” he said.

“Today is a celebration of how we take the next step to achieve our dreams and change the world. We are the future.”

Salutatorian Danielle Wehrman also spoke the commencement. She offered thoughts on how class members measure their time on graduation day.

“I know that as I look out at my classmates, I will measure my time in a much different way,” she said. “I will measure it in all the friendships I’ve enjoyed these last 13 years. Some have been casual and others have been much closer, but I’ll remember each one fondly, as I’m sure you all will, too.

And when many of our high school memories begin to fade, that’s how we will ultimately measure the time we spent here, not in periods or semesters or years, but in the friendships that we made and the times we shared together.”

After class president Amanda Holdheide introduced a slide presentation, the high school chorus, under the direction of Jaime Quatman, performed “Like an Eagle,” Class historian Lindsey Hilgefort introduced Superintendent Daniel Holland, who offered remarks for the special day, as did Firks, who was introduced by Victoria Rosengarten, class secretary.

The presentation of diplomas was conducted by Anthony Meyer, president of the Fort Loramie Board of Education.
