Time to remember, honor Rain doesn’t dampen Memorial Day service Rain dampened the cemetery Monday, but it couldn’t dampen the spirits of some 170 people who attended Sidney’s 2013 Memorial Day commemoration.

“We started late,” said Chuck Craynon, a member of the local voiture of 40 and 8, the group responsible for organizing this year’s celebration. “We hoped the rain would stop, but it didn’t, so we moved everything inside.”

About 100 people moved into the maintenance building at Graceland Cemetery. Another 70 people remained outside to participate.

Guest speaker, Donald Ice, told the crowd, “A veteran knows the true meaning of this day and holds it as a sacred time to remember and honor all of the brave men and women that fought in the wars and conflicts to give us the freedom that we sometimes take for granted. This is a time to reflect on the friends that they made and the good times they shared, as well as the bad times and memories of those friends and buddies that paid the ultimate price and gave their lives that we might enjoy the freedom guaranteed by the Constitution of this great country. This is why the name was changed to Memorial Day. We remember those that should never be forgotten … The numbers that were killed in all wars

and conflicts since 1775 total over 1.2 million, and they deserve our respect and remembrance on this special day set aside for them.”

The only change in the day’s program that was affected by the weather was the laying of wreaths, traditionally done at the flag pole in the cemetery. The wreath layings did not take place.

Sunday’s brighter weather meant that other area commemorations went off without a hitch.

In Port Jefferson, master of ceremonies Jim Hall, of Sidney, presented a program to about 40 people. Gold Star wife Carleen Pettit, of Sidney, participated in wreath layings with color guards from Sidney American Legion Post No. 217 and Sidney AMVETS Post No. 1968. The Rev. Dave Clem gave the benediction.

Guest speaker Mike Bennett, of Sidney, gave the address.

“When I was preparing for this time with you, I looked for reasons that would bring all of us here today, for commonalities, or threads that might weave themselves throughout these grounds,” he said. “For instance, what was it that William Hughes, who served in the Civil War and is buried just over there a bit would have in common with Michael Brandewie, who not See MEMORIAL/Page 10

Council OKs requests from two businesses

BY MIKE SEFFRIN mseffrin@sdnccg.com Sidney City Council gave a boost to two businesses Tuesday night.

Council approved legislation related to the redevelopment of the old Central School at 102 N. Miami Ave. for use as a banquet-reception facility and to the construction of a Holiday Inn Express at 500 Folkerth Ave.

Council also welcomed a new police chief and said goodbye to the current chief.

Council adopted an ordinance rezoning the former school property from R-3 multifamily residential to B-1 local business and adopted another ordinance amending the planning and zoning code to permit banquet-reception facilities as a principal use in a B-1 district and as a conditional use in an R-3 district.

Darrell and Sue Nichols, 1799 Riverside Drive, owners of Central Business Enterprises, purchased the old school last July at auction. Darrell Nichols said previously that he expects the old school to be used for small wedding receptions, graduation parties and other events. Another use would be for basketball or soccer practices for a fee.

Conservation District.

This year Conservation Day Camp was the recipient of a grant from the North Central Ohio Solid Waste District.

Serving as a Conservation Day Camp counselor is an opportunity to develop leadership, responsibility and people skills. For some, this is a great way to build a leadership portfolio for future goals, such as 4-H camp counselor, church camp counselor, Junior Fair Board member or college and scholarship applications.

Organizers are looking for youth who like working with children, are good role models and have a positive and willing attitude. Applicants must be completing the seventh through 12th grade and be willing to commit to all three days of camp unless an emergency should arise.

As counselors for Conservation Day Camp, they will be expected to guide a group of 25 youth from station to station, help keep youth engaged with the speaker or presentation, assist presenters with minor tasks, aid youth in keeping their belongings together and clean-up at meal time.

For additional information contact Lynda Adams, education coordinator, Shelby Soil and Water Conservation District at 492-6520, ext. 117 or lynda.adams@oh.nacdnet.net. The deadline to submit completed applications is Friday.

WILLOWDELL — Mary Ellen Simon, of Willowdell, passed away on May 24, 2013.

She was born on Oct. 3, 1926, and was the beloved daughter of Ernest (Ray) and Stella (Pittsenbarger) Mae Hahn and the adored big sister to Robert Hahn.

Prior to her marMary Ellen riage, worked at the Buckeye and also at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base.

In 1948 Mary Ellen married Robert Edward Simon, who preceded her in death on July 16, 1992. As newlyweds, they moved to Willowdell, after Bob’s parents died, to raise his two younger siblings.

Mary Ellen always believed that family came first and she worked tirelessly to keep family traditions alive for the young Simon siblings after their parents passed. She never quit this calling, gathering as many of her children and grandchildren together for every holiday as possible.

Mary Ellen was addicted to handiwork, completing numerous quilts for her children and making certain that every grandchild, great-grandchild and many great-nieces and nephews all had a special quilt. She also greatly enjoyed vegetable gardening, canning and freezing many meals for the winter to come. Family favorites were hot cocoa, the best applesauce ever made and her chocolate dessert, which she made for every family gathering for the past 30 years.

She was a lifelong member of the Osgood American Legion Auxiliary, where she made countless pies for meals and social occasions.

She joined St. Denis Catholic Church upon her marriage and was a devout member ever since.

Mary Ellen felt it was her privilege to visit friends, former neighbors and family members in hospitals and nursing homes, as she believed everyone

deserved company and a friendly face to help pass the time.

Mary Ellen is survived by her brother, Robert (Nina) Hahn, of Lewisburg; her children, Rebecca (Jim) Bruening, of Penrose, N.C., Leo (Becky) Simon, of Fort Loramie, Peggy (Tim) Rhodus, of Dublin, Raymond Simon, of Willowdell, Ben (Patty) Simon, of Versailles, Barbara (Stephen) Revard, of Plain City, and Jim (Pam) Simon, of Troy; grandchildren, Jacob (Buffy) Bruening, Jeffrey ( Jennine) Bruening, Jason (Valerie) Simon, Jeremy Simon, Samantha Simon, Adam Simon, Kevin Rhodus, Brian Rhodus, Ethan Rhodus, Nicholas Simon, Tony Simon and Mitchell Simon; four stepgrandchildren; and three great-grandchildren.

She is also survived by sisters-in-law, Shirley Simon and Jeanne Simon, and numerous nieces and nephews.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Ernest and Stella Hahn; her husband of 44 years, Robert Edward Simon; a son-inlaw, Jerry Mescher; and brothers-in-law, Dick Simon and John Simon.

Although she will be sorely missed by her family, her greatest gift was in making each of her children believe they were her favorite.

A Mass of Christian Burial will be held on Friday, May 31, 2013, at 10:30 a.m. at St. Denis Catholic Church, Versailles, with the Rev. David Vincent, celebrant.

Burial will follow in the St. Valbert Cemetery, Versailles.

Family will receive friends on Thursday, May 30, 2013, from 4 to 8 p.m. and Friday from 9 to 10 a.m. at Bailey Zechar Funeral Home, Versailles.

It is the wish of the family that memorial contributions be given to the donor’s choice.

Condolences for the family may sent to www.zecharbailey.com.

Senate removes state income tax cut from budget

BY JULIE CARR SMYTH The Associated Press COLUMBUS (AP) — State senators on Tuesday pulled what’s left of Republican Gov. John Kasich’s proposed income tax cut from the state budget in favor of tax relief targeted at small businesses.

The move by the GOP-led Ohio Senate Finance Committee came as a political blow to Kasich, who pledged to reduce the statewide income tax if elected. The Ohio House had retained 7 percent of the 20 percent permanent income tax cut originally proposed by Kasich. It was among dozens of changes the Senate is making to the House budget bill.

Senate President Keith Faber, a Celina Republican, said income tax relief will continue to be debated as budget deliberations progress.

Rather than embrace the broader income tax cut, the Senate chose to restore a small business benefit also proposed by Kasich. That proposal would allow individuals

to deduct up to $375,000 in net annual business income for income tax purposes. The Senate tax break is worth roughly $1.4 billion, compared with the roughly $1.5 billion price tag for the House’s income tax plan.

Asked why the Senate’s tax cut was better than the House’s plan, Faber said, “Because it’s about creating jobs and growing the state’s economy.”

Faber said the state already recently had a 4.2 percent, across-the-board income tax cut, and senators wanted to help the small businesses that were adding to the job market.

With rosy state revenue adjustments expected next month, the stage has been set for a potential tax compromise incorporating elements of both plans when the two chambers come together in late June to reconcile their budget differences.

As anticipated, Senate budget changes did not include expansion of Medicaid

under the federal health insurance overhaul. Senators also left out a tax increase on high-volume oil and gas drillers proposed by Kasich and expansion of the state sales tax to include professional services like lawyers.

The bill keeps a provision effectively de-funding Planned Parenthood by putting it at the back of the line for public funds.

Faber said the idea of changing Medicaid is not dead but will be taken up in a separate bill. A placeholder measure could come in the next two weeks.

Republicans senators are split over whether to extend Medicaid coverage.

“I have yet to see a proposal that I can tell you there’s a majority of my caucus that supports,” Faber told reporters.

Roughly 366,000 low-income residents would be eligible for Medicaid coverage beginning in 2014, should the state decide to expand the program under President Barack

COUNCIL cil, Community Services Director Barbara Dulworth said the city code currently would allow only banquet/reception uses for the site. She said further changes in the code would be needed to allow recreation activities such as basketball.

Mayor Michael wondered Barhorst whether someone could rent only part of the building.

Darrell Nichols responded that he plans to block off the classrooms from the gym so they would be available for rent. He said he would have to meet state firesafety requirements regarding exits for the building.

“I still have issues with the parking,” said

Obama’s health care law. Ohio would get $13 billion from the federal government to cover program costs over the next seven years, according to the Kasich administration.

Senators held off making any immediate changes to school funding, though the Senate president said the chamber would have its own version of the formula in the next week.

“We’re looking at some significant increases in funding for K-12 over the current system,” Faber said. “But where that ends up is still in a matter of flux. Stay tuned.”

Facing political pressure from both parties, senators removed a budget provision that would have forced universities to offer in-state tuition to outof-state students who request the documents necessary to vote in the state, which had been criticized for its potential to suppress votes.

Universities often provide documents, such as utility bills, to serve as students’ proof of residency when they

Dulworth pointed out that a zoning certificate of occupancy would not be issued without adequate parking areas.

During discussion at an earlier council meeting, she said there were 40 off-street parking spaces at the site of the old school.

Regarding the Holiday Inn Express, council passed a resolution authorizing an income taxsharing agreement with Sidney City Schools related to a community reinvestment area tax abatement for the 77room, $4.8 million hotel.

The hotel will feature a swimming pool, confer-

ence room and other guest facilities. The project cost includes furniture and fixtures. The abatement was requested

by N.B. Patel, on behalf Sunrise Hospitality Inc., of Van Wert. The Sidney Board of Education approved the tax-sharing agreement May 20.

City officials said the hotel is expected to create eight to 10 permanent, full-time jobs and 10 to 15 part-time jobs and have an annual payroll of $300,000.

As schools are the primary beneficiary of property taxes, they are the most impacted by the community reinvestment area. The tax-sharing agreement will compensate the schools annually the lesser of property taxes foregone by the schools as a result of the abatement or 75 percent of the income tax received by the city on the new jobs at the hotel, city officials said.

Early in the meeting, council officially welcomed William Balling as the new police chief.

ney Police Department and currently is a captain.

Near the end of the meeting, Barhorst said that while a farewell and retirement reception for the current police chief will be held Friday, he wanted to offer council’s official goodbye Tuesday night to Kevin Gessler.

“I want to thank him for his tremendous service to the city of Sidney,” the mayor said.

Gessler thanked council for being “supportive” and “consistent” over his past four years as chief.

Gessler, who came to Sidney from West Virginia, said “it was new to me that department heads participate” in council meetings. He said he appreciated being able to do that.

Gessler also complimented Balling, who was among applicants for the chief’s job four years ago.

Gessler said he knew how disappointed Balling was when he wasn’t chosen four years ago.

Gessler said Balling “took that energy” and asked Gessler to help him learn all he could about the chief’s job.

register to vote in the presidential swing state. The provision had required universities that continue to provide such documentation to charge those students lower in-state tuition.

The Inter-University Council of Ohio, which represents the state’s 14 public universities, estimated that more than 29,000 students would fit that description. And the measure could have cost universities up to $370 million.

Executive Director Bruce Johnson praised the Senate for removing the item. “It’s gone and we’re happy about it,” he said.

Faber said members on both sides of the aisle requested the student voting measure be pulled from the budget. Though, he added, he thought the issue merited further discussion.

Overall, Faber said he expected the final budget to be close to the governor’s proposal: “I think at the end of the process it’s going to be largely intact.”

Wife: Slain officer will always be her hero

BY BRUCE SCHREINER The Associated Press BARDSTOWN, Ky. (AP) — The widow of an ambushed Kentucky police officer said Tuesday that her husband, who was gunned down when he stopped to pick up road debris on his way home, will be her lasting hero.

Facing a row of cameras just days after the slaying, Amy Ellis remembered Bardstown Officer Jason Ellis as a dedicated family man and K-9 officer who wanted to rid this quaint town of illegal drugs.

“He is forever our hero,” she said. “He always made me feel like he was Superman, that nothing would ever happen to him.”

Jason Ellis, 33, a former minor league baseball player turned lawman, was hit with multiple shotgun blasts after he exited his cruiser to pick up debris at a ramp off the Bluegrass Parkway in Nelson County early Saturday, according to Kentucky State Police. Investigators are asking for the public’s help in finding suspects.

A reward has grown beyond $30,000, including $10,000 that Bardstown Mayor Bill Sheckles said the city is adding from money in an asset forfeiture fund.

these perpetrators to justice,” Sheckles said.

Joined by her mother and mother-in-law plus a host of police officers, Amy Ellis said no words could express her sadness and anger. She and her husband have two sons, ages 7 and 6.

She credited her faith for giving her the strength to keep going after losing the man she fell in love with when they met on Valentine’s Day a dozen years ago.

“God has picked me up off the bathroom floor,” she said. “I didn’t want to live another second without him.”

Investigators working around the clock have received many tips and a few leads, “but nothing that we can get excited over just yet,” Bardstown Police Chief Rick McCubbin said.

“Not much sleep and a whole lot of Red Bull, that’s getting us all through it,” he told reporters. “And we’re not going to rest for quite a while.”

He said at this point, there is no suspect or motive and “nothing to go on.”

Investigators are reviewing every arrest made by Ellis “with a microscope,” McCubbin said.

McCubbin said he believes Ellis’ death is linked to his police work.

“We believe that he was the target,” he said.

“It was just too methodical, too precise.”

McCubbin said he was unaware of any prior threats against Ellis.

Ellis’ death triggered an outpouring of grief in the town of about 12,000, about 40 miles southeast of Louisville.

Flags are at half-staff around Bardstown, and more than 300 people attended a candlelight vigil Monday night outside the police station. Gov. Steve Beshear asked that flags be lowered to half-staff statewide on Thursday, the day of Ellis’ funeral.

Mourners placed flowers, flags, balloons and baseballs on a police cruiser that was turned into a makeshift memorial. Ellis was a standout baseball player at the University of the Cumberlands, and he went on to play minor league ball in the Cincinnati Reds system from 2002 to 2005, according to the school’s website.

OUT OF THE BLUE

1, 2, 3, 4, 5 babies!

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — A Utah woman gave birth to a healthy set of quintuplets over the weekend with help from a team of eight doctors, one anesthesiologist and dozens of nurses ensuring the mother and the tiny babies survived.

Guillermina and Fernando Garcia’s five babies — three girls and two boys — weigh between 2 and 3 pounds each and are expected to stay at the University of Utah hospital in Salt Lake City for another six weeks. Doctors predict they will grow up completely healthy.

Guillermina Garcia, 34, carried the babies until 31 weeks — seven weeks shorter than most singlebirth pregnancies but about three weeks longer than most quintuplet mothers. The extra time in the womb helped the babies’ lungs develop more than other quintuplets, said Dr. Elizabeth O’Brien, of the newborn intensive care unit.

Economy gains boost confidence WASHINGTON (AP) — Home prices are surging, job growth is strengthening and stocks are setting record highs.

All of which explains why Americans are more hopeful about the economy than at any other point in five years.

Investors on Tuesday celebrated the latest buoyant reports on consumer confidence and housing prices, which together suggest that growth could accelerate in the second half of 2013.

Greater confidence could spur people to spend more and help offset tax increases and federal spending cuts. And the fastest rise in home prices in seven years might lead more Americans to put houses on the market, easing supply shortages that have kept the housing recovery from taking off.

Tuesday’s report from the

Conference Board, a private research group, showed that consumer confidence jumped in May to a reading of 76.2, up from 69 in April. That’s the highest level since February 2008, two months after the Great Recession officially began.

A separate report showed that U.S. home prices jumped nearly 11 percent in March compared with a year ago, the sharpest 12-month increase since April 2006. Prices rose year over year in all 20 cities in the Standard & Poor’s/CaseShiller home price index.

The economic news helped send the Dow Jones industrial average up 106 points to close at a record. The Dow has rocketed nearly 18 percent this year. And the Standard & Poor’s 500 stock index is on track for its seventh straight monthly gain, the longest win-

ning streak since 2009.

Surging stock prices and steady home-price increases have allowed Americans to regain the $16 trillion in wealth they lost to the Great Recession. Higher wealth tends to embolden people to spend more. Some economists have said the increase in home prices alone could boost consumer spending enough to offset a Social Security tax increase that has reduced paychecks for most Americans this year.

The Conference Board survey said consumers are also more optimistic about the next six months. That should translate into greater consumer spending, substantial growth in hiring and faster economic growth in the second half of 2013, said Thomas Feltmate, an economist with TD Economics.

Michael Quintos, head of a Chicago advertising agency that helps small businesses market themselves through social media, sees more optimism at work and among friends and relatives.

“A year ago, I had more friends asking me if I knew anybody who was hiring,” Quintos said. “Now I have more people who are hiring asking me if I know anyone looking for a job.”

At work, Quintos is finding it easier to land customers. In the past couple of months, businesses that have asked about his services have been more likely to follow through and hire him. A year ago, most were wary.

“I’ve had more work than I can handle,” Quintos said. As a result, his firm hired a web designer last week.

IN THIS still image taken from video from Saturday, rescue workers cut away parts of a sewage pipe where a newborn baby was trapped in Pujiang in east China's Zhejiang province. Chinese firefighters have rescued a newborn boy from a sewer pipe below a squat toilet, sawing out an Lshaped section and then delicately dismantling it to free the trapped baby, who greeted the rescuers with cries. A tenant heard the baby’s sounds in the public restroom of a residential building in Zhejiang province in eastern China on Saturday and notified authorities, according to the state-run news site Zhejiang News. A video of the two-hour rescue that followed was broadcast widely on Chinese news programs and websites late Monday and Tuesday.

Rescuers save newborn from sewage pipe BEIJING (AP) — A newborn’s cries from a public restroom in a residential building in eastern China led a tenant to a startling discovery: a baby boy trapped in a sewage pipe beneath a squat toilet.

Firefighters, unable to pull the baby out, ended up sawing away an L-shaped section of the pipe and carrying it to a hospital, where it was delicately pried apart to save the infant.

Video of the two-hour rescue of Baby No. 59 — so named because of his incubator number in the hospital in the Pujiang area of the city of Jinhua — was shown on Chinese news programs and websites late Monday and Tuesday.

The baby, who weighed 2.8 kilograms (6 pounds, 2.8 ounces), had a low heart rate and some minor abrasions on his head and limbs, but was mostly unhurt, according to Zhejiang Online, the province’s official news site. The placenta was still attached.

It was unclear how the baby ended up in the toilet, but police said they were treating the case as an attempted homicide.

The Pujiang county police bureau said on its official microblog account that the boy’s mother has been located and that an investigation was under way, but it gave no further details.

In the video, officials were shown removing the pipe from a ceiling that apparently was just below the restroom and

then, at the hospital, using pliers and saws to gently pull apart the pipe, which was about 10 centimeters (about 3 inches) in diameter.

News of the baby’s ordeal was met with horror and pity by bloggers on Chinese sites.

Most speculated that the child had been dumped by his parents down the toilet.

The rescue prompted an outpouring from strangers who came to the hospital with diapers, baby clothes, powdered milk and offers to adopt him.

The landlord of the building told Zhejiang News that there were no signs that the birth took place in the restroom and she was not aware of any recent pregnancies among her tenants.

Despite the offers to adopt Baby No. 59, a doctor at the hospital said the boy would be turned over to social services if his parents did not claim him, Zhejiang News said.

In China, reports of babies being abandoned are common and fuel public anger against a strict one-child policy that imposes huge fines on parents who violate the rules. The policy has been blamed as a factor in causing parents to abandon unwanted children, although they are usually baby girls because of a traditional preference for males.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A record number of American women are now the sole or primary breadwinners in their families, a sign of the rising influence of working mothers, a new study finds. Mothers now keep finances afloat in 40 percent of households with children, up from just 11 percent in 1960.

While most of these families are headed by single mothers, a growing number are married mothers who bring in more income than their husbands, according to a study released Wednesday by the Pew Research Center.

As the numbers have shifted, however, public attitudes have remained mixed regarding the impact of working mothers on families. People are not at all sure that it’s a good thing.

Demographers say the change is all but irreversible and is likely to bring added attention to child-care policies as well as government safety nets for vulnerable families.

“This change is just another milestone in the dramatic transformation we have seen in family structure and family dynamics over the past 50 years or so,” said Kim Parker, associate director with the Pew Social & Demographic Trends Project. “Women’s roles have changed, marriage rates have declined — the family looks a lot different than it used to. The rise of breadwinner moms highlights the fact that, not only are more mothers balancing work and family these days, but the economic contributions mothers are making to their households have grown immensely.”

The trend is being driven mostly by long-term demographic changes, including higher rates of education and labor force participation dating back to the 1960s women’s movement.

Today, women are more likely than men to hold bachelor’s degrees, and they make up nearly half — 47 percent — of the American workforce.

Syria diplomacy a priority BEIRUT (AP) — Russia on Tuesday harshly criticized Europe’s decision to allow the arming of Syrian rebels, saying it undercuts international efforts to negotiate an end to the civil war, and a rebel general said he’s “very disappointed” weapons won’t come fast enough to help opposition fighters defend a strategic Syrian town.

The European Union decision, coupled with a Russia’s renewed pledge to supply Syrian President Bashar Assad’s regime with advanced missiles, could transform an already brutal civil war into an East-West proxy fight. Israel, meanwhile, threatened to strike such air defense missiles systems if delivered to Syria, portraying them as a threat to the Jewish state and raising the risk of regional conflagration.

The possibility of an arms

race in Syria overshadowed attempts by the U.S. and Russia to bring representatives of the Assad regime and Syria’s political opposition to peace talks at an international conference in Geneva, possibly next month.

The talks, though seen as a long shot, constitute the international community’s only plan for ending the conflict that began more than two years ago and has killed more than 70,000 people.

In Syria, the commander of the main Western-backed umbrella group of rebel brigades told The Associated Press he urgently needs Western anti-tank and antiaircraft missiles to prevent further regime gains on the battlefield.

The rebels’ weapons are no match for the Syrian regime’s modern tanks and warplanes, he said.

Blast rattles homes ROSEDALE, Md. (AP) — A CSX freight train crashed into a trash truck and derailed Tuesday in a Baltimore suburb and the explosion that followed rattled homes at least a half-mile away, sending a plume of smoke into the air that could be seen for miles, officials and witnesses said.

In the third serious derailment this month, the dozen or so cars went off the tracks at about 2 p.m. in Rosedale, a Baltimore eastern suburb.

Hazmat teams were on the scene, but Baltimore County Executive Kevin Kamenetz said at a news conference that no toxic inhalants were burning. Officials did not order an evacuation.

The truck driver was taken to the hospital in serious condition and two CSX workers

aboard weren’t hurt, fire officials said.

Dale Walston said he lives about a half-mile away and that he thought he could smell chemicals.

“It shook my house pretty violently and knocked things off the shelves,” he said in an email to The Associated Press.

The face of one warehouse near the train tracks blew off.

And even hours after the blast, the thick plume of black smoke drifted across the Baltimore city line and covered the eastern part of the city.

Shortly after 6:30 p.m., the plume lightened considerably, changing from black to gray, and its intensity diminished.

Firefighters had been battling the flames for an hour and a half after initially considering letting the cars burn out.

They are a little larger than a banana, with a little thicker skin. Plantains are starchy but are lower in sugar than bananas.

You can’t eat them raw, but once they are cooked, they can be used much like potatoes in Caribbean cuisine. Plantains are now available in most stores yearround!

They can be eaten at every stage from green to yellow. Green plantains are best prepared fried or boiled, while yellow plantains often are

She’d throw things into the pool and then jump in to get them.”

Hemp learned to swim at age 10 in Dayton. She, too, was a junior lifesaver and she took the lifeguarding class when she was 16.

“My mother always wanted my sister and me to be better swimmers than she was. We both became lifeguards and that was way up the line from what she could do,” Hemp said.

“All my swimming wa outdoors. I didn’t have an indoor pool available until I was a sophomore in high school.” That’s when she joined a YMCA swim team in Dayton.

They’ve both been at the Y much longer than that.

“I get up at 3:30 in the morning,” King said.

“I get to the Y at 3:50 or 4 a.m. I open the Y and the pool. I’m there until 7 a.m. Then I go to Christian Academy to teach physical education, health and math.

I’ve been doing that for 36 years.”

Hemp began guarding the pool at the Y in January 1976.

“I worked two hours a week,” she said. “My son was little. The older my child got, the more hours I would work.

Now I do a split shift, 6:30 to 10 a.m. or noon, depending on the day, and 4 to 5:30 p.m. Mondays and Wednesdays.”

SCBDD hears reports The Shelby County Board of Developmental Disabilities heard a report on the BEST race and heard about the Night at the Park that was held during their recent meeting.

Bringing Everyone Together at Shelby Hills (BEST), the Shelby Hills organization, parents held its sixth annual race on April 27.

The fourth annual Night at the Park event was held on May 7 at Shelby Hills Early Childhood Center. All of the children who were in attendance received ball caps and ate free hot dogs, which were provided by the BEST organization.

There will be a day camp for children and young adults who are between the ages of kindergarten and 22, if they are still in school. The camp is being held to give children a chance to be involved in a summer activity and it will give their parents a chance to have a break for a little while. The camp will be held on six Mondays during the summer.

Among the activities scheduled are swimming, bowling and movies. An Essential Needs grant will be used to fund the program.

During the meeting, Amy Berger, coordinator of provider services, gave a presentation on her work to make sure that

there is a structure in place in Shelby County which will support the recruitment and retention of qualified providers in order to make sure that those who are eligible for services have adequate and appropriate choices for support.

Board members also heard that Shelby Hills Early Childhood Center has 361 children attending preschool in Sidney, Fort Loramie, Jackson Center and Hardin Houston Schools. The preschool staff worked with all eight school districts in the county to give transition information for students who will be attending kindergarten in the fall.

Preschool graduation was held on May 24.

Those parents whose children will return to preschool in the fall were given an opportunity to schedule a conference that was held on May 17, so that they could discuss the progress of their children during the last 12 weeks of school, and they received suggestions on summer activities that will promote skill development.

The board learned that there are 42 infants and toddlers in the early intervention program; 22 of the families have requested to have services through the summer. The Wilma Valentine Creative Learning Center (WVCLC) has 34 children

The board approved the following resolutions • A budget amendment request due to the receipt of Capital Housing funds from the Ohio Department of Developmental Disabilities which resulted in an increase in the revenue and expenditure budget.

• The retirement of Shelby Hills Early Childhood Center speech therapist Theresa Kirsch and the resignation of Gail Eppley, transportation CDL driver.

• The annual business associate agreement with the Ohio Department of Developmental Disabilities.

“Because we’re a more mobile society,” King said. “So your chances of being around water are great — a motel pool or a backyard pool.”

The Splash classes teach not only swimming, but also boating safety, water park safety and beach safety. Nonswimmers are especially encouraged to attend. Leaders make points that are important for children to consider.

“You need to have a grown-up at the beach with you or outside with you if you’re at a pool,” Hemp said. “Don’t go down the slide with a life jacket on. The straps

could get caught where the pieces of the slide connect. Don’t swim in storms when there is thunder and lightning.”

She said the pool at Y is cleared during storms even though it’s inside, for fear that lightning could strike through nearby skylights.

“The thing I love about Splash is that when people have a passion, they can pass it on to others. I have a passion for the water,” King said.

King and Hemp have taught Splash classes through the years and also teach other swimming classes at the Y, including synchronized swimming and private lessons.

“I enjoy working with the children and watching them get over their fear and improve,” Hemp said.

“We have a gentleman who’s 56. He learned to swim and

now swims a half mile every day,” King said.

Her own goal is to someday stay in the water for 24 hours.

“I never get tired of it,” she said. “It’s great exercise. You can swim until you’re 100. It’s for all ages and all different kinds of venues. If I’m sore, I jump in the water and swim a few laps and the soreness goes away.”

A swimmer who inspired her was a diving contestant King met at a national contest. The girl had no arms, but she won the competition. One of King’s students won the national swimming medal several years ago.

When this year’s group of youngsters gathers for the Splash event in Sidney, they should look carefully at each other. Among them might be a future national champion. And that would make Hemp and King splash for joy.

AMERICAN LEGION Post 217 fires a 21-gun salute during the Memorial Day ceremony at Graceland Cemetery Monday.

MEMORIAL too long ago served in the Navy and is buried back there a ways just on the other side of that road; or what motor machinist Mate 2nd Class Lester Hensen, who served in the Navy and died the year I was born, would have in

common with Elizabeth and Lowell Burchett, who each served their country, one in the Coast Guard and one in the Army, and then got married and spent the rest of their lives together.

“They love America,

most paradoxically of all, they value life, and so bravely ready themselves to die in the service of our country.”

Bennett encouraged the audience to rejoice in the hope that veterans have given the world for its future.

Sisters to be opening act for Nelly’s Echo Two sisters from West Alexandria will be the opening act for Nelly’s Echo on June 8 at the Sidney Historic Theatre.

Adelee and Gentry Gates have been singing and performing as a duo for the past five years in and around their hometown of West Alexandria.

Adelee, 20, and Gentry, 17, are part of a musical family. Their dad, James, played drums and bass.

He built a basement studio for his daughters.

When asked to describe their music, Adelee said, “From an emotional perspective, I would say ‘real’ and ‘honest.’ I pour my heart into a song.”

Gentry concurs, “We don’t try to act like someone else; we just love being storytellers. We’re not going to try to create something that’s not there. That’s not who we are.”

They also say they have “sister harmony” when they take the stage to perform.

Both had ready names to list as influences on their sunny, pop sound.

“Sara Bareilles, Adele and Ingrid Michaelson would be the top three for me,” said Gentry.

Adelee echoes her sen-

timents, “All three of them are singer-songwriters, great musicians and their stage presence is incredible.”

The sisterly collaboration birthed their breakthrough debut album, “Nice to Meet You…” in March 2012 which was followed by their highly praised holiday EP, “Waiting for Christmas.”

Adelee and Gentry’s unique vocal styling and harmonies are garnering attention by music industry pros such as Billboard 615 Spotlight and Music News Nashville.

They have been featured on local TV shows (“Living Dayton” and “Words & Music Nashville”) as well as local and Internet radio stations.

Career highlights for the duo in 2012 include an interview and CD reviews by Examiner Magazine online; being featured on Nashville’s CBS show Words and Music; being selected to perform at the international event “Tin Pan South”; and performing at sold out shows at Nashville’s famed Bluebird Cafe.

VOICE houses to big crowds,” he said. “The size of the crowd depends on how much knowledge of my music they have going in.”

Nelly’s Echo, he said, means music is a twoway street. Nelly refers to the musician and music, while Echo refers to the audience’s appreciation of the music.

A native of Africa, Emokpae has released two albums via Nelly’s Echo. A third album will be released in July in Baltimore. He also has shot his first video to the song “I Love You.” As a teen in Nigeria, he listened to African music. When he moved to the United States, he

“My music leaves people thinking this is something they’ve heard before but they’ve never experienced before,” he said.

“Without the audience, my music doesn’t exist.”

Usually when he performs at the various colleges, he is a solo performer. For the Sidney performance, he’s hoping to bring a twoor three-piece band with him. When he performs in Baltimore, he has a six piece band.

“I spent a couple of days on Facebook to see how well the booking agent promotes each show,” he said. “I can the people at the Sidney Theatre care about

what they’re doing to promote the show.

“I’m going to make sure I give a show that you (the fans) deserve,” he said. “I hope when I take the stage that the people see the beauty of what my performance means.

“I’m honest with my music,” he said. “I hope the people will leave the performance full of hope; full of joy and happiness in life. Life is crazy but things are beautiful.”

SNUFFY SMITH

BY FRANCES DRAKE For Thursday, May 30, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) In the next six weeks, you'll identify more strongly with your beliefs. This is why you will be keen to get others to agree with you.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Do not get caught up in thinking your possessions or bank account is really who you are. This might be the case in the next month or so. Be aware of this.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Mars is in your sign now and for the next six weeks. Make sure you get extra physical exercise to burn off some of this pent-up steam building within you.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Secrets and people working against your best interests might be the case for the next month or so. Nevertheless, you will discover what you need to learn.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Expect to be active with groups, especially competitively, during the next six weeks. Or one person in particular might challenge you to excel in some way.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Your ambition will be aroused in the next two months, which is why you will try hard to make your mark in the world. Just make sure you don't create conflict with bosses.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) You will love exploring creative intellectual work and study in the next month. In fact, you will want to do anything that expands your mind.

Learn something new!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Disputes with others about shared property might occur in the next six weeks. This is not a good time to go for a loan or a mortgage.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Because Mars will be opposite your sign for the next six weeks, it's easy to be annoyed with others. Keep this in mind and just be patient. Cut people some slack.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) In the next two months, you will be gung-ho to clean up your act. Buy paint, cleaning equipment, shelving, file folders, labels -- whatever you need to get better organized.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Romance and playful excursions will be tops on the list for you in the next month. Take a vacation if you can.

Time for fun!

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Renovations and increased activity at home might be exhausting. Practice patience with loved ones, because anger only serves to make everyone miserable.

YOU BORN TODAY You love speed, and you love your freedom. You are not someone who is happy with routine because you thrive on thrills and change. You have a quick mind and are skillful at many tasks. Even your moods change quickly! In the year ahead, a major change might take place, perhaps as significant as something that occurred around 2004.

Hall of Famer Jim Brown reunites with Browns TOM WITHERS AP Sports Writer CLEVELAND (AP) — Jim Brown has come back to the team he helped lead to its last NFL championship.

Brown will return in an unspecified role with the Cleveland Browns, who will formally reunite with the Hall of Fame standout at a news conference on Wednesday.

Browns owner Jimmy Haslam is expected to announce Brown’s new position with the team he starred with from 1957-65 before retiring to pursue an acting career.

“We’re excited to have him back a part of us,” Browns CEO Joe Banner said. “It’s important to me because he’s clearly in the top couple, if not the single most important part of the history of the franchise, and it’s the right thing to do.”

Brown previously worked as a senior adviser with the Browns. However, his role was eliminated by former team president Mike Holmgren and Brown had been estranged from the team for a few years. He returned to play in an alumni golf outing and was introduced on the field at halftime at a game in September, when he met with Haslam, who had just bought the team from Randy Lerner.

At the time, the outspoken Brown talked about his desire to work again with the team.

“I would love to have a role with the Browns,” he said. “I think that’s what every explayer would like to do most of all, to be a contributor to the success of an organization. I’m stuck with being No. 32 of the Cleveland Browns and I can’t do anything about it. I don’t want to do anything

FORMER CLEVELAND Brown Hall of Famer Jim Brown speaks during an NFL news conference in Phoenix. Brown is rejoining the Browns in an official capacity. The former star running back will have an unspecified job with the Browns, the NFL team he played for from 1957-65. Browns owner Jimmy Haslam will introduce Brown during a news conference today at FirstEnergy Stadium. about it. If you didn’t like the ball, that’s one thing. You’re not going to always like my politics, but we are married because of that history. If I can be a part of the development of a new winning attitude and help get some victories, man that would be fantastic.

“Imagine us having a championship team here again?”

The Browns last won a title in 1964.

Brown is the team’s career rushing leader with 12,312 yards and 106 touchdowns.

Haslam’s arrival seemed to help the Browns patch up any

differences with arguably the greatest player in their franchise’s history. Haslam said at the NFL owner’s meetings in March that he anticipated Brown coming back to work for the team.

Browns linebacker D’Qwell Jackson is thrilled to learn Brown will be back with the team.

“With everything that is moving in the right direction, it’s only right to bring Jim Brown back,” Jackson said.

“It’s the perfect time for it because he did a lot when he was here, just his presence alone for a young guy, to be able to have a conversation

with him, I was in awe after being around him for three years.

“I want him back.”

Brown was at the Browns’ stadium on Tuesday to film a scene from the upcoming movie “Draft Day” starring Kevin Costner. Brown acted in a scene with former Browns quarterback Bernie Kosar, who said the return of the famed No. 32 was overdue.

“It’s exciting,” Kosar said.

“It’s great. I think the influence he can have on some of the younger kids and some of the younger players is great.”

Indians broadcaster not backing down on criticism JOE KAY AP Baseball Writer CINCINNATI (AP) — Indians broadcaster Tom Hamilton isn’t backing down from his criticism of Reds reliever Aroldis Chapman for a highand-tight pitch to Cleveland’s Nick Swisher and his on-air suggestion that there should be retaliation during the intrastate series.

Chapman threw two upand-in fastballs to Swisher during the ninth inning of Cincinnati’s 4-2 win Monday.

The first went over the batter’s head, the second was near it. Chapman and Swisher exchanged glares.

After the second pitch, Hamilton — in his 24th season calling Indians games — said on air the pitch was intentionally aimed at his head.

“What you’d love to see Swisher do here is knock it right off the temple of Chapman and see how much fun it is to have a ball coming at your head,” Hamilton said.

“That is bush league.”

Later, Hamilton predicted the Indians would retaliate during the series, which moves to Cleveland for two games on Wednesday and Thursday.

“You just can’t be throwing at people’s heads,” Hamilton said. “The first one may have gotten away, the second one did not. And there are three more games to go with the Reds. This isn’t over yet.

“I’ll guarantee you one thing: (manager Terry) Francona will make sure that this is settled on the field.”

Dinzeo earns All-America SPORTS IN BRIEF Another trucker files suit status for the third time Sidney High grad Aaron Dinzeo earned AllAmerican status for the second time this season after placing fifth in the 5,000 meters at the NCAA Division II Track Championships in Pueblo, Colo, over the weekend.

Dinzeo was fifth overall in a field of 20 runners, crossing the finish line in 14:41.84.

All-America His honor is added to the same recognition he received in the same event during the indoor track season.

It’s the first time in California-Pennsylvania history that an individual had posted AllAmerica finishes in the same event twice in the same year.

In addition, Dinzeo earned All-America status in cross country in 2011.

Michael Travis and Dillon Webster, New Bremen The two New Bremen grads are combined here because they ran on the 1600 relay team together at Findlay and earned All-America status last week in the Division II championships in Pueblo, Colo.

In the 800 time trials, she broke her own school record in the event, running the distance in 2:05.56.

Kara Monnin, Minster Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland recently held its 2013 All-Sports Banquet, and Monnin received an impressive award.

Zac Richard, Versailles Richard completed an amazing season with a complete-game victory for Xavier over George Washington in the Atlantic-10 Tournament.

Richard, meanwhile, was outstanding for the Musketeers, ending the season at 9-4 with a 2.31 earned run average in a team-high 105 innings.

He made 15 appearances, all as the starting pitcher, and allowed 87 hits, 38 runs, 27 earned runs, and opponents hit just .225 against him.

He struck out 65 and walked 27.

Borchers has already surpassed expectations

BY ROB KISER Civitas Media Katie Borchers admits after a freshman season that included the big jump from running for R u s s i a H i g h School to joining the Ohio State Borchers University women’s cross country and track and field programs, it might have been a lot to expect to finish her sophomore season in outdoor track running at the NCAA Championships in the 800-meter run.

But that’s exactly what the daughter of Kevin and Jean Borchers will be doing after an outstanding performance at the NCAA East Regional at Greensboro last week.

It started in the prelims, when the former Ohio Division III state champion in the same event, continued to rewrite the Ohio State record book in that

event, running a 2:05.56 to advance to finals.

“My coach and I didn’t really look at who was in my heat with me or who was in the other heats,” Borchers said. “We had a plan and I went out and followed it.”

There were three heats in the finals and Borchers ran in the second heat. The top three finishers in heat and the next three fastest times overall would be the 12 runners who advanced on to nationals.

Borchers finished fourth in 2:06.03, so she had to wait until after the final heat to find out her fate.

“I was pretty nervous,” she said. “I had watched the first heat. I didn’t watch the third heat. I didn’t know until my coach came up and told me I had made it to nationals.”

Then she made the quick trip back to Russia for one of her sisters high school graduation.

“I was actually back home over the weekend,” she said. “My sister graduated. I wasn’t back long, maybe a day. But it

was great to see everybody. They have always been my biggest supporters.”

Now, Borchers is preparing to run in the NCAA Championships in Eugene, Ore., on June 5-8.

“I think one of the cool things about it is that is where they hold the Olympic Trials,” Borchers said. “So, it will be neat to run on the same track where they hold the Olympic Trials.”

It is a trip even Borchers could not have anticipated after her freshman season at Ohio State.

“Maybe not after last season,” Borchers said. “I think the difference from last year to this year is I am just running with more confidence. I believe in myself and I am trusting what I am doing. That too (becoming comfortable with her surroundings).

Your freshman year anywhere is always a big learning experience.”

Borchers has received academic honors both years and after a strong year last fall in

cross country and breaking the school indoor record in the 800 last winter, she entered this spring with renewed confidence and hasn’t disappointed.

“I think at the start of spring, my hope was to qualify for the NCAA Regionals and just go from there,” she said.

But, she admits, she has already surpassed her expectations coming out of high school as an Ohio State school record holder and national qualifier.

“No, probably not,” the humble Borchers said when asked if she expected to accomplish all that. “It does (give her high expectations for the next two years), but I am just going to keep doing my thing.”

And she will take the same humble approach into the NCAA Championships.

“I think it would be great if I could make the finals,” she said. “We will see. I am just going to keep doing what I do.”

Which has put her among the top 800 runners in the nation.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Another truck driver is suing Pilot Flying J over allegations that the nation's largest diesel fuel retailer bilked customers out of rebates.

Mike Campbell of Holmes County, Miss., filed the class-action lawsuit last week in federal court in Jackson, Miss.

The lawsuit refers to an FBI affidavit for several pages. The FBI alleges members of Pilot's sales team deliberately withheld rebates to boost Pilot profits and pad sales commissions. No criminal charges have been filed.

Knoxville, Tenn.-based Pilot is run by CEO Jimmy Haslam, who is also the owner of the NFL's Cleveland Browns and the brother of Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam.

Pilot Flying J spokesman Tom Ingram said in an email: “We’ve been advised by counsel class action lawsuits in a matter like this are expected and no surprise. Our counsel will review them as they come and defend them appropriately.”

Suns name Hornacek PHOENIX (AP) — One of the most popular Phoenix Suns players from the franchise’s past will guide the team to an uncertain future.

At the news conference on Tuesday announcing his hiring as Suns coach, Jeff Hornacek spoke at length about his readiness for the job and the influences that will guide him.

“I’ve always felt that I’ve been a coach,” he said. “My dad was a coach, Hornacek so I’ve been around basketball since I was 5 years old.”

Hornacek played the first six of his 14 NBA seasons with the Suns. He was traded to Philadelphia in the Charles Barkley deal, then went to Utah, where he found great success as the backcourt teammate of John Stockton. Hornacek retired from playing to spend more time with his family, then eased into coaching, first as a shooting instructor in Utah, then since 2011 as a full-time assistant with the Jazz.

Championship QB missing DETROIT (AP) — One of the winningest quarterbacks in college football history has been missing for days and family members expressed concern he may have suffered “a mental episode,” a Michigan law enforcement official said Tuesday.

Cullen Finnerty, who led Grand Valley State University to three Division II national titles and more than 50 wins during his four years as a starter in Allendale, Mich., last decade, went missing Sunday while Finnerty fishing along the Baldwin River, not far from where his family owns a cottage.

Finnerty, 30, last spoke to a family member that night in a phone call in which he said “he was nervous about something,” Lake County Sheriff Robert Hilts said. Based on that call, the family suspected “he might be having some kind of a mental episode — that he was either afraid or something and ran off into the woods,” Hilts said.

The sheriff said authorities had been tracking Finnerty’s cellphone “until it went dead.” Searchers found a small pontoon boat Finnerty was using to fish, but no other trace of the 6-foot-3, 230-pound ex-athlete.

Sale of Kings approved SACRAMENTO (AP) — The NBA Board of Governors unanimously approved the sale of the Sacramento Kings on Tuesday to a group led by TIBCO Software chairman Vivek Ranadive.

The league said in a statement that the "transaction is expected to close shortly."

After owners blocked the relocation of the franchise to Seattle earlier this month, the Maloof family reached an agreement to sell a 65 percent controlling interest in the Kings to Ranadive's group at a total franchise valuation of $535 million.

Ranadive, who will have to sell his minority stake in the Golden State Warriors, becomes the NBA's first Indian-born majority owner.

Redskins urged to change WASHINGTON (AP) — Ten members of Congress are urging the Washington Redskins to change their name because it is offensive to many Native Americans.

The representatives said Tuesday they've sent letters to Redskins owner Dan Snyder, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, Redskins sponsor FedEx and the other 31 NFL franchises.

The letter to Snyder says that “Native Americans throughout the country consider the ‘R-word’ a racial, derogatory slur akin to the ‘N-word’ among African Americans or the ‘W-word’ among Latinos.”

Among the group sending the letters are the leaders of the Congressional Native American Caucus: Tom Cole, R-Okla., and Betty McCollum, DMinn.

Roy new Avalanche coach DENVER (AP) — Patrick Roy carefully contemplated the Colorado Avalanche's sales pitch as he sank putts on a golf course in Florida.

New team President Josh Kroenke was in his group, along with former teammate-turnedexecutive Joe Sakic, and they were teeing up an opportunity Roy simply couldn’t turn down. Not again.

Four years ago, the team asked him to come on board. The Hall of Fame goalie just wasn’t ready.

This time around, the deal was sweetened — a chance to coach and have a say in hockey-related decisions.

Roy has been serving as coach and general manager for the Quebec Remparts of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League over the last eight seasons.

DEAR DR. ROACH: I am a kindergarten teacher and wonder how long germs can stay alive on toys. Can a germ lie dormant on a toy for long periods of time, or will a germ die shortly after contact with an object?

We have had quite a bit of flu going around, and want to take every precaution we can. We wonder if the spread of germs can be largely attributed to the toys. — J.P. ANSWER: How long a germ can live depends on the germ. For flu, the studies have shown that the virus can live between two and eight hours on a hard surface. There are other germs that are

much more hardy. In a worst-case scenario, the spores of Clostridium dificile, the bacterium that causes diarrhea associated with antibiotics and hospitals, can live for up to two years, and it is resistant to chemicals. This is one of the reasons it is so hard to eradicate from hospitals. Frequent handwashing is important not because the soap kills the spores, but because it washes them away.

Some kindergarten teachers have used washing away germs as a class lesson, which I think is a great idea.

DR. ROACH WRITES: I recently wrote a column about leg cramps, and the response from my readers did not disappoint. The most common advice was tonic water, but pinching the skin during a cramp, airfilled compression stockings and turmeric were other suggestions. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has warned against using prescription quinine for leg cramps.

If you are being pressured to have sex, it’s important for YOUR sake that you tell your boyfriend you feel it happened too soon, you’re sorry you did it, and you have decided to wait until you are older to start again. It would be an intelligent move for you because your affections appear to be all over the map right now.

I am also concerned because you didn’t mention whether you both used birth control.

It’s a sign of maturity when couples plan

ahead and take precautions to avoid an unwanted pregnancy.

(And yes, a girl CAN get pregnant the first time.) In fact, there’s a word for teens who have sex on the spur of the moment and don’t use birth control: It’s PARENTS. Dear Abby is written

PAST

100 years May 29, 1913 There will be no commencement exercises of the Clinton township public schools this year.

There is only one graduate in the township, Gibson V. Robbins, and have arrangements been made for him to graduate with the class from Franklin township, which will have its commencement at the Reformed Church in Swanders on June 12.

——— Word was received today that Secretary of State Graves and wife, of Columbus will be here for the high school alumni banquet. He will accompany Governor Cox who will speak at the banquet.

——— The following officers were elected for the coming year at a business meeting of the Epworth league: Irma Pfefferie, president; Laura Hathaway, first vice president; Mable Taylor, second vice president; Carolyn Shue, third vice president; Ethel Allinger, fourth vice president; Carrie Love, secretary; G.C. Wilcox, treasurer.

75 years May 29, 1938 Challenging the living to make themselves living memorials to the honored dead by their everyday lives, Rev. Dallas Browning of the First Methodist Church, sounded the keynote of the true purpose of Memorial Day in his address yesterday morning at the annual observance. The service was held on the east steps of the courthouse and was preceded by a parade from the armory to the square. It was followed by a parade to Graceland cemetery where services were held.

——— Dedication of the memorial to Schultz’s battery, located in the south city park, was held following the regular services at Graceland cemetery and was carried out in accordance with the wishes of George Hemm, donor of the memorial. The unveiling of the monument was made by Byron Joslin, one of Shelby county’s three remaining Civil war veterans, while the speech of dedication was delivered by Rev. R. Wobus, of the St. Paul’s Evangelical Church. A letter from Mr. Hemm was read, explaining his reason for asking the city the privilege of erecting the monument.

50 years May 29, 1963 Camp Brookside for girl campers, east of the city, is beginning to take on a new look…one of expansion and improvement which can be seen the minute one approaches the camp site on the Knoop-Johnston road, just off State Route 29.

being planned for this weekend when anyone interested, especially parents, is welcome to tour the camp site from 2 to 7 p.m. When visitors tour the camp grounds, they will see a new entrance, service drive and parking lot to the north of the lodge, an addition to the Blue Spruce dining hall in the lodge to seat approximately 100 girls at a time, installation of showers in the lodge, a fresh coat of inside paint, and a remodeled kitchen.

——— As several thousand area residents looked on Thursday afternoon, the city of Sidney formally acquired at the Sidney airport an allweather landing strip to more adequately serve the needs of the growing community.

Mayor Robert F. Kaser, on behalf of the city administration, accepted the gift and with it the plaque, bearing the names of the industrial concerns and other firms in the community that had made it possible. The presentation was made by Frank Zielsdorf, chairman of the airport foundation trustees.

In excess of $50,000 was provided by industrial firms and business organizations in the city to acquire the necessary additional land, construct the 3,200 foot all-weather landing strip and equip it with lights.

25 years May 29, 1988 Kelly Jo Boyer is Shelby County’s Most Adorable Baby for 1988. The 14-month old toddler, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Boyer, 6033 Wright-Puthoff Road, earned the title Saturday morning at the MayFest. Some 92 babies were registered for the event. Little Miss Boyer proved to be a triple winner. In addition to receiving the top honor, she swept awards as cutest and Miss Personality in her age group.

——— A Sidney-based investment group today announced plans to purchase the United Telephone Co. of Ohio building at 121 E. North St. in downtown Sidney. ESW Investments, comprised of Michael Eley, Dennis Sollmann and Richard Wallace, expects to finalize acquisition of the building from United Telephone Service (UTS) in the next few weeks.

Governor signs bills 14 die on Ohio roads over holiday weekend COLUMBUS (AP) — Ohio Gov. John Kasich has made two bills law.

One measure signed Tuesday halts the expansion of Internet cafes where patrons buy cards for phone and Internet time with chances to play computer games that operate like slot machines with cash prizes. The measure extends a moratorium on any new cafes and requires those currently in operation to submit new affidavits to the state.

Another measure corrects a state law that inadvertently allowed coaches and referees in youth sports leagues to be criminally prosecuted for violating rules regarding players’ head injuries.

Coaches, volunteers and officials now must have players who show concussionlike symptoms sit out games or practices until they’re checked and cleared by a doctor or licensed health care provider.

COLUMBUS (AP) — The Ohio State High Patrol reports that 14 people lost their lives on the state’s roads during the Memorial Day weekend — one more than during the four-day period last year.

One of those killed was Hiram T. Argo, 79, of Wapakoneta, who died Sunday evening.

However, the patrol says that

fatalities related to impaired driving were down to three, from seven in 2012.

Arrests of motorists for suspicion of impaired driving increased nearly 5 percent this year. And the patrol said drug arrests during the period were up 62 percent from last year, with central Ohio troopers reporting the largest number.

The 14 people killed this year compared with the same number who died in 2011, which was one more than in 2010.

The holiday weekend period ran from Friday through Monday.

oil on the skin’s surface does no harm. Special soaps, astringents and acne cleansers are a waste of money. Wash your face with ordinary soap and water only as much as you need to keep it clean. Too much washing and scrubbing can cause skin irritation. Do not pick, squeeze or otherwise manipulate your pimples; it can leave scars.

Foods do not cause acne. Many persons try all sorts of diets and are frustrated because they don’t help. In some people, certain foods do make acne worse. The most common ones are chocolate, nuts and cola drinks. A few people who drink large quantities of milk (more than a quart daily) find that this worsens their acne.

Aggravation of acne by food varies from person to person.

Unfortunately, there is no medical miracle to prevent acne, but it can be controlled by proper medical treatment. In recent years, several effective antibiotics have been developed. Whenever a teen feels uncomfortable about his or her complexion, it is a signal that a trip to a dermatologist is a must!

Dr. Robert Wallace welcomes questions from readers. Although he is unable to reply to all of them individually, he will answer as many as possible in this column.

SOPHOMORE ERIK Jackson speaks with Tracy Johnson, Lehman High School Class of 1994, about volunteer opportunities at the Lockington Volunteer Fire Department.

Students learn about volunteer opportunities Lehman Catholic High School students attended Opportunity Day II earlier this spring. Each semester various “good causes” request permission to address the students to acquaint them with various opportunities within the greater community to engage in community service.

The first Opportunity Day of the school year provided Lehman students with information about opportunities that were available during the first semester of school.

As a result, many students became involved in Big Buddies, the fall blood drive, Cavs for a Cure, Pro-Lifeguards, working at FISH and volunteering at the local soup kitchens.

Student Council President Michael Jacob opened the assembly and welcomed those in attendance. Secretary Julia Harrelson led prayer.

Vice President Louis Gaier then introduced each speaker.

Jennifer Bruns from Big Brothers Big Sisters (BBBS) encouraged the students to become part of Big Buddies, an afterschool activity for youngsters in grades K-3 youngsters. The participating “littles” are referred by school counselors or parents and are generally children living with a single parent or another relative who need positive role models.

High school students are encouraged to become involved as positive role models for their “little buddies” by playing games, reading, and doing interactive activities twice a month. Bruns introduced juniors Madilyn Brown and Lauren

Goettemoeller, both of whom spoke about their experiences with Big Buddies. Lehman students were also encouraged to become involved in the BBBS “Bowling for Kids” fundraiser to be held later this school year.

Michael Blankenship, representing Troy Public Broadcasting, spoke to the students about service opportunities with the station. Blankenship offered an opportunity for Lehman students interested in broadcasting or communications careers to obtain hands-on experience by volunteering at the station.

Sarah Steenrod spoke on behalf of the Presbyterian Church’s after-school tutoring program. The program, 1st Class Tutoring, is designed to serve students in grades K-5.

The program meets on Tuesdays during the school year. Steenrod encouraged students interested in careers in education to take advantage of the opportunity to tutor.

The next speaker was Lt. Anne Buckles of the Sidney Salvation Army Summer Mobile Canteen Program. The Canteen is a traveling meals-onwheels program that provides free summer lunches for kids whose parents are working or otherwise unable to provide lunch when students are not at school. Volunteers would accompany the Canteen and serve lunches five days a week.

Katie Hildebrand spoke about the Clubhouse Program, a free faith-based afterschool program that provides tutoring and companionship for young students.

Clubhouses in Troy, Tipp City, and Dayton meet afterschool for two hours and are in need of volunteer mentors.

Kathy Pleiman of the Community Blood Center (CBC) began her talk by complimenting the Lehman students on their past record as blood donors. The CBC provides blood to 24 local hospitals and so the need is great. Pleiman explained the criteria for student donors – 16 years of age (with parent permission), at least 110 pounds, good health, and photo identification.

Pleiman also noted that students who register to donate at least three times during their high school careers are recognized with the Red Honor Cord at graduation. The CBC also gives several Red Cord $1000 scholarships each year.

The next speaker was Tracy Johnson of the Lockington Volunteer Fire Department. Johnson, a 1994 Lehman graduate, presented the opportunity for interested students to see what a volunteer fireman does by spending time at the station. The Lockington Fire Department, which is 100 percent volunteer, needs students to help with web page design, the washing of trucks and equipment, and fundraising projects.

Lehman Principal Denise Stauffer gave information about a tutoring program with three of Lehman’s partner schools: Holy Angels, Piqua Catholic, and St. Patrick (Troy). The students are invited to travel to a partner school to work with the elementary students on reading or homework and build friendships and connections that will encourage them to become Lehman Cavaliers. Students who participate need back-toback study halls around lunchtime or at the end of the day.

Students were also reminded that area Catholic parishes are always looking for students to be of service, including becoming lectors and Eucharistic Ministers at Mass, or helping out around the church by shoveling snow or raking leaves.

Students were encouraged to speak to the Rev. Dan Hess, Lehman chaplain, or to seek out service opportunities at their own parishes.

Student Council Treasurer Morgan Neal closed the assembly with a prayer. Students than had the opportunity to visit stations to seek additional information from the presenters and to sign-up to volunteer all the while enjoying donuts and orange juice provided by the Student Council.
