Janet Born received her oath of office as Sidney City Council’s third at-large representative during Monday night’s final May legislative meeting. City Clerk Joyce Goubeaux administered the oath as Born’s husband, Mark, held the Bible. A large contingent of her family members attended the ceremonies. Born replaces Jeff Hewitt, who resigned after serving only a few months after being elected. Council Monday night adopted ordinances making supplemental appropriations totaling $562,721 and adopting the 2011 Ohio Fire Code developed by the state fire marshal for statewide applicability. Appropriations include $155,000 for Brookside Park, $130,000 to the Capital Improvement Fund and $120,000 for vacation and sick leave balances upon retirement of city employees. The 2011 Ohio Fire Code is based on the 2009 International Fire Code and is a compatible document to the Ohio Building Code and other codes in the building and trade industry. It establishes minimum standards for safeguarding life and property from fire and explosion. The document provides easier access to codes that were previously scattered throughout an earlier fire code. Codes that apply to fireworks and notification to the fire department when super-

WASHINGTON (AP) — Mitt Romney clinched the Republican presidential nomination Tuesday with a win in the Texas primary, a triumph of endurance for a candidate who came up short four years ago and had to fight hard this year as voters flirted with a carousel of GOP rivals.

PRESIDENT BARACK Obama awards the Medal of Freedom to astronaut John Glenn during a ceremony in the East Room of the White House in Washington, Tuesday. The Medal of Freedom is the nation’s highest civilian honor. It’s presented to individuals who have made especially meritorious contributions to the national interests of the United States, to world peace or to other significant endeavors.
Glenn receives Medal of Freedom WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama on Tuesday honored a diverse group of political and cultural icons, including former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, astronaut John Glenn and rock legend Bob Dylan, with the Medal of Freedom at the White House. The president noted that the awards ceremony Tuesday led to a “packed house, which is testament to how cool this group is.” Obama said the honorees have moved Americans with their words and inspired them with their actions. Other honorees included Tennessee basketball coach Pat Summitt, former Supreme Court justice John Paul Stevens and author Toni Morrison. The Medal of Freedom is America’s highest civilian honor. It is presented to individuals who have made meritorious contributions to the national interests of the United States, to world peace or to other significant endeavors. Other recipients this year included: • Juliette Gordon Low, founder of the Girl Scouts. • Shimon Peres, pres-
ident of Israel. • John Doar, who handled civil rights cases as assistant attorney general in the 1960s. • William Foege, former director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, who helped lead the effort to eradicate smallpox. • Gordon Hirabayashi, who fought the internment of Japanese-Americans during World War II. • Jan Karski, a resistance fighter against the Nazi occupation of Poland during World War II. • Dolores Huerta, cofounder of the National Farmworkers Association, which later became the United Farm Workers of America. Albright was the first woman to hold the top U.S. diplomatic job, while Glenn was the first American to orbit the earth. Summitt led the University of Tennessee women’s basketball team to more NCAA Final Four appearances than any other team. And Dylan’s vast catalog of songs includes such rock classics as “Like a Rolling Stone,” ”Blowin’ in the Wind” and “Mr. Tambourine Man.”
TOLEDO (AP) — Developers of Ohio’s newest casino think they’ll do just fine competing for gamblers with Detroit’s three casinos, even without the spas, hotels and bigname concerts found just up the road. Whether they’re successful might come down to the little things like a prohibition on smoking on the casino floor, or the free garage parking. The Hollywood Casino in Toledo made its debut Tuesday, drawing many people who for years have frequented the casinos just an hour drive to the north in Detroit. “I’m done going there,” said Jaycee Riley, of West Unity. “I can’t believe how nice it is. It’s better than some of the casinos in Vegas. I doubt I’ll be going there anymore too,” she said while waiting with most of the casino’s first customers in a long line to join its rewards program. The $320 million casino designed to look like a grand Art Deco movie house has a single floor devoted to slot machines, table games

Ohio receives waiver on education law COLUMBUS (AP) — The federal government has approved Ohio’s request for relief from certain requirements of the Bush-era No Child Left Behind Act. In a decision Tuesday, the U.S. Department of Education granted Ohio and seven other states waivers from many provisions of the decade-old law. Ohio schools will no longer be judged on yearly progress toward making 100 percent of students in each demographic group proficient in reading and math. The mandate was considered unrealistic. The Ohio Department of Education expected 90 percent of schools to miss
the mark without the waiver. State Superintendent Stan Heffner said Ohio’s new school rat-

MANSFIELD (AP) — An Ohio county fair that offered beer sales for the first time last year is reversing course and won’t allow the drinks at this year’s event. The beer concession at the Richland County Fair in north-central Ohio had created controversy. Religious leaders and other opponents said it would change the family-friendly atmosphere and could threaten fairgoers’ safety. But fair officials said last year’s beer sales were problemfree and profitable, bringing in several thousand dollars. Fair board manager Dean Wells tells The News Journal in Mansfield that the Richland County Agricultural Society has voted 10-9 against allowing beer at this year’s fair. Beer garden opponent Ben Mutti says he’s glad fair officials made a decision to support a familyfriendly environment for the event. The fair starts Aug. 5. ——— Information from: News Journal, http://www.mansfieldnewsjournal.com

Weak soil cause of accident HONOLULU (AP) — A Hawaii zip line tower collapsed because of weak soil, sending a worker plunging 200 feet to his death, concluded an investigation released Tuesday by the state Department of Labor and Industrial Relations. The department’s Occupational Safety and Health Division launched a workplace investigation after worker Ted Callaway, 36, of Lahaina, died Sept. 21 while test-riding a zip line being built along the Big Island’s Honolii Stream. His co-worker Curtis Wright, of Miamisburg, Ohio, was critically injured. Ground anchors were built in soil that couldn’t withstand the weight of the tower, cables and rider, the investigation said, and GoZip LLC failed to take reasonable precautions to ensure that the anchors could support the load. GoZip officials could not immediately be reached by phone for comment.
Son seeks letter ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — The son of Malcolm X’s biographer is asking Syracuse University to hand over a letter in which the slain activist writes about his shifting views on race relations, claiming his family is the rightful owner. Malcolm X wrote to Alex Haley, his collaborator for “The Autobiography of Malcolm X,” from Saudi Arabia in April 1964, about ten months before he was gunned down at a New York City hotel ballroom. The publisher of the autobiography later gave the letter to Syracuse University as part of a larger cache of papers to be used by researchers.
Stock falls NEW YORK (AP) — Facebook’s stock has fallen below $30 for the first time since its much-awaited public debut this month. The stock fell $3.07, or 9.6 percent, to close at $28.84 on Tuesday. That’s down 24 percent since its public stock debut. It went as low as $28.65 earlier in the day. Facebook Inc. began trading publicly on May 18 following one of the most anticipated stock offerings in history. The site, which was born in a Harvard dorm room eight years ago and has grown into a worldwide network of almost a billion people, was supposed to offer proof that social media is a viable business and more than a passing fad.

Earthquake hits Italy again SAN FELICE SUL PANARO, Italy (AP) — Workers at the small machinery company had just returned for their first shift following Italy’s powerful and deadly quake earlier this month when another one struck, collapsing the roof. At least three employees at the factory — two immigrants and an Italian engineer checking the building’s stability — were among those killed Tuesday in the second deadly quake in nine days to strike a region of Italy that hadn’t considered itself particularly quake prone. By late Tuesday, the death toll stood at 16, with one person missing : a worker at the machinery factory in the small town of San Felice Sul Panaro. Some 350 people also were injured in the 5.8 magnitude quake north of Bologna in Emilia Romagna, one of Italy’s more productive agricultural and industrial regions. Originally government officials had put the death toll at 17, and there was no immediately explanation for the lowered figure. The injured included a 65year-old woman who was pulled out alive by rescuers after lying for 12 hours in the rubble of her apartment’s

ITALIAN FIREFIGHTERS and a dog search the debris of a collapsed house in Cavezzo, northern Italy, Tuesday. A powerful earthquake killed at least 15 people Tuesday as it rocked a swath of northern Italy. Factories, warehouses and churches collapsed, dealing another blow to a region where thousands are still homeless from a stronger temblor just nine days ago. The 5.8 magnitude quake drove thousands more from their homes in the Emilia Romagna region north of Bologna, one of Italy’s most agriculturally and industrial productive areas. kitchen in Cavezzo, another town hard hit by the quake. Firefighters told Sky TG24 TV that a piece of furniture, which had toppled over, saved her from being crushed by the wreckage. She was taken to a hospital for treatment.
The building had been damaged in the first quake, on May 20, and had been vacant since. The woman had just gone back inside it Tuesday morning to retrieve some clothes when the latest temblor knocked down the build-

U.S. opposed to military action in Syria WASHINGTON (AP) — Shocking as it was, the massacre of more than 100 Syrian villagers is unlikely to galvanize a military assault like last year’s campaign in Libya to oust Moammar Gadhafi. The killings, however, did provoke the strongest international condemnation the United States and other nations could muster. The U.S. joined more than a dozen nations in expelling Syrian diplomats on Tuesday, and Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney pushed for further, direct action to dislodge Syrian President Bashar Assad. But President Barack Obama’s spokesman emphasized more limited options. “We do not believe that militarization, further militarization of the situation in Syria at this point is the right course of action,” said White House press secretary Jay Carney. “We believe that it would lead to greater chaos, greater carnage.” The nation’s top military officer, Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen. Martin Dempsey, had appeared to hint at a possible shift in that longstanding U.S. po-
sition, saying Monday that despite reservations about military intervention “it may come to a point with Syria,” because of the mounting atrocities. Pentagon spokesman George Little said Tuesday that those remarks did not mean the United States had backed off its position that military intervention risks doing more harm than good. The Pentagon has not been asked to provide plans for military options in Syria, Little said. “The focus remains on the diplomatic and economic track,” Little said. “But at the end of the day, we in the Department of Defense have a responsibility to look at the full spectrum of options and to make them available if they’re requested.” Romney, who is opposing Obama in this year’s presidential election, said the massacre argued for strong action, including arming the rebels and pressuring Russia to stop selling arms to Assad forces. “President Obama’s lack of leadership has resulted in a policy of paralysis that has watched Assad slaughter
10,000 individuals,” Romney said. The administration’s position reflects deep doubt that any bombing campaign could be accomplished quickly and relatively bloodlessly, as in Libya. The United States would have to be a major participant in any sustained coalition war to remove Assad, something U.S. officials had all but ruled out before the massacre in Houla over the weekend. The United States is providing “nonlethal” assistance to the Syrian rebels fighting Assad, meaning supplies and help that do not include ammunition or weapons. “Right now, our focus is on humanitarian aid, non-lethal aid, and I’m not going to speculate as to where the future might take us,” Little said. The administration is also helping other nations who are providing lethal aid determine suitable recipients. “We and many nations that are — that consider themselves friends of Syria — are assessing the opposition as we help — help them stand themselves up and help them unify,” Carney said.
Happy cows = more milk CHILTON, Wis. (AP) — Lucky, a 7-year-old dairy cow, had been walking with a limp for several weeks when veterinarian Sara Gilbertson was called. Instead of prescribing painkillers, Gilbertson tried an unusual new therapy — a chiropractic adjustment that included a full-length spinal massage. Gilbertson rubbed the Holstein’s spine by gently squeezing it from neck to tail, pausing to apply firm pressure to one hip and readjust several vertebrae. The cow stood in calm silence, moving only enough to reach another mouthful of hay. Later, as Lucky reclined on a bed of sand, Gilbertson noted with satisfaction how relaxed and comfortable the animal seemed. Cow comfort has become a key concern for the nation’s farmers, who have known for generations that contented cows give more milk. The traditional techniques for keeping cows happy aren’t complicated — feed them well, keep the temperature comfortable and give them room to move around. But some dairy farmers are turning to a new array of creative options intended to keep cows as mellow — and productive — as possible. Some farmers have installed waterbeds for their cows to rest on, while others play classical music. And some hire animal chiropractors to give older cows a tuneup and correct minor issues in calves, all part of the ef-

IN THIS May 16 photo, veterinarian Sara Gilbertson performs a chiropractic adjustment on a dairy cow in Cleveland, Wis. There's no sound scientific data to back up the claims, but dairy farmers say they believe contented cows give more milk. Farmers are turning to creative tactics to keep the cows comfortable, including waterbeds to rest on, classical music in the barn and occasional chiropractic care. fort to ensure maximum milk output. Do the methods really work? There’s no sound scientific data to back up the claims, but dairy farmers say they can see the difference with their own eyes — cows are giving more milk, the milk quality is improving and the herds seem to be enjoying the indulgences.
“It’s kind of like how an athlete with a sprained ankle isn’t as productive,” said Larry Meyer, 36, whose parents own the dairy farm in Chilton, Wis., where Lucky and another 115 dairy cows live. “If you can get a cow healthy and back to normal, it makes a difference in their productivity.” Cows can suffer injuries if
they slip on a slick spot of concrete or get stepped on by another 1,500-pound bovine, and some calves get their necks kinked during the birthing process. The injuries can cause pain when the animals stand, making them reluctant to jostle for food and leading to compensatory injuries. That, in turn, leads to less milk production. That’s why farmers are willing to spend about $75 per session for a chiropractic adjustment. “The cows tolerate it incredibly well,” said Gilbertson, the veterinarian. “They may be apprehensive at first, until they figure out how good it feels.” Meyer didn’t have specific figures on how much milk Lucky gave following her chiropractic treatments, but because her mother was the most productive cow in the herd, he wanted to make sure Lucky was in good shape. While chiropractic care is reserved for injured cows, dairy farmers also are investing in healthy cows’ happiness. Richard Conrad installed $70,000 waterbeds on his farm in Grafton, Ohio, about a year ago. It took the 220 dairy cows a few months to adjust to the softer surface but now they seem to enjoy it, he said. “They were real skeptical at first because it was real jiggly,” said Conrad, 53, “but once they adapted they didn’t look back. They just jump on and stay there.”

In order to save the tops until I have enough for a “mess” (Heloise here: “Mess” refers to the portion size, or how much you are making), I cut just enough off the top of the root to hold the greens together, then place it in some water. The leaves stay fresh for days. — Doug J., Denham Springs, La.

Not too long ago, a student said to teacher Mary Jannides, “My grandfather says he had you in school.” The soon-to-be retired educator responded, “Oh, yes, I remember exactly who he was and where he sat.” As Jannides looks back at a 29-year career in education, the students who have made her most proud are the three who have gone on to be named to Sidney High School’s Hall of Honor. “Their election to the Hall of Honor was a real highlight for me,” Jannides said. “When Paul Miller won state in swimming, that was exciting,” she added. The social studies teacher and swim coach will retire from Sidney High School at the end of this month. She taught for a year in Freeport, Pa., and for a year in Warren, Mich., before she joined the faculty in Sidney, first as a substitute teacher. Mid-career, she took a 12-year hiatus to raise her three children with her husband, Spiros, a 36year Copeland employee. Their son, Michael, owns the Spot restaurant. Their daughter, Christa, is married to Eric Bishop. She is the vice president of human resources at U.S. Foods in Cincinnati and the mother of Jannides’s three grandchildren, Zoe, Eleni and Lucas. Their daughter, Stephanie Jannides, is a fifth-grade teacher in Palo Alto, Calif. Mary Jannides earned a Bachelor of Arts in education at Ohio Wesleyan University. She has taught American government, U.S. and the World, military history and world affairs. Besides

Home sales on the rise “We remain confident about the Ohio marketplace — as interest rates remain at historic low levels, prices have begun to trend upward, sellers are realistic in their pricing expectations and consumers understand that long-term, owning a home is a tremendous investment.” Not only did sales levels during the first four months exceed the pace of a year ago, the average sales price (January through April) throughout Ohio this year increased 3.8 percent, reaching $122,373 versus the 2011 mark of $117,673. Total dollar volume this year is nearly $3.8 billion, a 15.8 percent increase from last year’s four-month mark of more than $3.2 billion. Miller noted that a recent survey of the state’s real estate professionals suggests that the industry remains extremely optimistic about the market’s outlook in the coming months. The OAR Housing Market Confidence Index, a recently created measurement of the perception Ohio Realtors have of
the marketplace, offers the following highlights in the May 2012 report: • 89 percent of Realtors describe the current housing market in their area as moderate to strong, a 6 percent jump from the perception of professionals a month earlier. This month’s Realtor Current Market Index measurement reached 56, increasing 6 points from last month’s index of 50. It’s the highest the RCMI has been in Ohio since OAR began tracking it in June 2011, when it attained an index of 28. • 93 percent of the respondents have moderate to strong expectations for their market in the next six months; a 5 percent increase from the prior month. This month’s Realtor Future Market Index held steady at 58, unchanged from the index posted last month. The current RFMI is the highest it’s been, a marked improvement from the lowest index posted in September 2011 (of 24). • 90 percent of Realtors believe home prices over the next year will
remain stable and could even post gains; unchanged from the prior month. The Realtor Price Index for Realtors’ expectations for the next year increased 3 points to 61 from last month. The May RPI is the highest it’s been, a 22 point improvement from the low posted in June 2011. Sales in April reached 9,099, an 8.1 percent increase from the 8,420 sales posted during the same period a year ago. The month’s average sales price of $130,003 is a 5 percent increase from the April 2011 mark of $123,544. Total dollar volume in April nearly reached $1.2 billion, a 13.7 percent increase from the $1 million mark posted a year ago. Data provided to OAR by Multiple Listing Services includes residential closings for new and existing single-family homes and condominiums/co-ops. The Ohio Association of Realtors, with more than 26,000 members, is the largest professional trade association in Ohio.

Homes sales activity throughout Ohio continued to make gains in April, helping the marketplace post 10 consecutive months of positive sales, according to statistics provided by the state’s Multiple Listing Services. Sales of new and existing homes posted a 11.3 percent jump during the first four months of 2012 compared to the same period a year ago, reaching 30,609 sales compared to the 2011 result of 27,491. “Strong activity in April continued to help push the Ohio real estate marketplace forward on its road to recovery, following the downturn that resulted from the economic collapse of 2008,” said Robert U. Miller, president of the Ohio Association of Realtors. “We’re extremely hopeful that achieving 10 consecutive months of sales growth is an indication that growth within Ohio’s housing market is sustainable and that we have built a pretty solid foundation for current and future homeowners.

COMMANDER OF the Sidney Disabled Veterans Chapter 48 Bill Knasel, of Swanders, places a wreath on behalf of disabled veterans at Graceland Cemetery during Memorial Day services Monday.
REMEMBER Day service,” he began. “It was just a day off work. Now that I am retired, I’ve realized what Memorial Day really signifies. “It truly is a day to remember all men and women who have died while serving in the United States armed services, he said. “They are the true heroes of America and should be remembered on this federal holiday.” Morris spoke of Master Sgt. Jeffrey James Rieck, 46, of Columbus, who died in northern Afghanistan on April 4. Rieck, a 1984 graduate of Sidney High School, died in combat with the Ohio National Guard’s 148th Infantry Regiment, 37th Infantry combat team. “Jeff devoted his life to his service and his country,” Morris said. “He loved spending time with his son and family. Prior to his own deployment, Jeff had an amazing ability to ease the minds of children as he worked to prepare them for their parents’ upcoming tour of duty during his career with the Ohio National Guard Family Readiness Group. “That is why we are gathered here on Memorial Day… to honor the memory of all our fallen warriors. May God bless our heroes and may God bless you all for being here today.” Parade ranks afterward left the west side of the courthouse to proceed to Schultz’s Monument at the Ohio and Main avenues intersection for a wreath laying, rifle salute and taps. The line of march continued to the veterans section of Graceland Cemetery, resplendent with service
markers and American flags Boy Scouts and veterans groups had placed Saturday. Services concluded there with prayer, the national anthem, laying of wreaths, a rifle salute and taps. The cemetery services featured a reading of Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address by Carl Zimmerman. At Plattsville Cemetery Sunday morning, Ed Ball, Shelby County Veterans Service officer, told listeners, “Remembering our fallen heroes once a year is not enough, The widows, fathers. mothers, brothers, sisters and remember children everyday. “From the American Revolution to the global war on terrorism, one million American men and women have made the supreme sacrifice. They died so that we could continue to cherish the things they loved — God, country and family. “That is why we are gathered here on Memorial Day remembering those who made our way of life possible.” Plattsville ceremonies included prayer by Pastor Larry Grunden of Greenview United Church of Christ and a salute by the American Legion Post 217 firing squad. At Old German Cemetery in New Bremen, Vietnam Marine Corps veteran Chuck Craynon of Sidney shared a Marine Corps Colonel’s comment: ” ‘A veteran is someone who wrote a blank check, payable to the United States of America, for an amount up to and including his own life.’ “For thousands of veterans, their service

From Page 1 ended upon their deaths in World Wars I and II, Korea, Vietnam and the various conflicts leading up to the present-day war in Afghanistan,” Craynon continued. “It is over for them, but it is never over. Missions may end, but the legacies left and the pain of their absence endure. “We are reminded this day that in each generation, brave men and women will always step forward to take the oath of allegiance as members of America’s armed forces, willing to fight and if necessary die, for the sake of freedom.” Also participating in the ceremonies were the New Bremen High School band, and the Post 241 Color Guard. At Cedar Point Cemetery in Pasco, Mike Clark, a U.S. Army Vietnam War veteran, honored the sacrifices of all fallen veterans and urged all listeners to acknowledge their heroism and dedication to the nation. Also participating were Pastor David Brisker of Pasco United Methodist Church, a color guard and the Fairlawn High School band. At Glenn Cemetery, Port Jefferson, Memorial Day services Sunday afternoon were led by Jim Hall and Pastor David Clem of Springcreek Christian Church. Also participating was the American Legion Color Guard. Other Memorial Day services were conducted Monday at Pearl Cemetery in Franklin Township, Shelby Memory Gardens, Botkins High School and St. Augustine Catholic Church in Minster.

What kind of day will tomorrow be? To find out what the stars say, read the forecast given for your birth sign. For Thursday, May 31, 2012 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Be prepared to go more than halfway when dealing with others today, because the Moon is opposite your sign. Basically, you have no choice. (Just be nice to everyone.) TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) It will be gratifying for you to attend to little details that make you feel better organized. Make a small todo list and get a few things done. You’ll love yourself for doing this. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) This is a playful, fun-loving day. Take a long lunch if you can. Do something to pamper yourself. Enjoy movies, sports or fun times with children. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Putter around your home today. Family discussions, especially with parents, could be significant. You also might enjoy time alone, because childhood memories are bubbling up to the surface of your mind. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) A busy day! Enjoy short trips, errands and talking to siblings, neighbors and relatives. You’ve got things to do, places to go, people to see! VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Focus on financial matters today. You might see ways to boost your income or to make a little money on the side. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Today the Moon is in your sign, which means you have a little bit of extra good luck. However, you might
VILLAGE
feel more emotional about things. Relax — it’s no big thing. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Work alone or behind the scenes today because you feel the need for privacy. (And you certainly are a private person.) It’s a good day for research. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Discussions with a female companion could be significant today. Share your hopes for the future, because someone’s feedback will help you. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) You will briefly be noticed more than usual by bosses, parents, teachers, VIPs and the police. Keep this in mind if you’re thinking of doing anything foolish! AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) People from different cultures or other backgrounds will intrigue you today because you’re hungry to learn something new. At the very least, go someplace you’ve never been before or visit an ethnic restaurant. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Tidy up loose ends with bills, taxes, insurance matters, wills and inheritances. Try to get things done you’ve been putting off, so that later, you can have a warm feeling in your tummy. YOU BORN TODAY You are frequently misunderstood because you have a cool exterior that hides your passionate intensity. You exude confidence. You’re a no-nonsense type — a straight shooter. You have a wide range of interests and talents, which you learn to adapt to changing situations. In the year ahead, a change might take place, perhaps something as significant as whatever occurred around 2003.

LOCAL NEWS From Page 1 gates in the Texas primary. The former Massachusetts governor has reached the nomination milestone with a steady message of concern about the U.S. economy, a campaign organization that dwarfed those of his GOP foes and a fundraising operation second only to that of his Democratic opponent in the general election, President Barack Obama. “I am honored that Americans across the country have given their support to my candidacy and I am humbled to have won enough delegates to become the Republican Party’s 2012 presidential nominee,” Romney said in a statement. “Our party has come together with the goal of putting the failures of the last three and a half years behind us,” Romney said. “I have no illuabout the sions difficulties of the task before us. But whatever challenges lie ahead, we will settle for nothing less than getting America back on the path to full employment and prosperity.” Romney must now fire up conservatives who still doubt him while persuading swing voters that he can do a better job fixing the nation’s struggling economy than Obama. In Obama, he faces a wellfunded candidate with a proven campaign team in an election that will be heavily influenced by the economy. “It’s these economic indicators that will more or less trump any good or bad that Romney potentially got out of primary season,” said Josh Putnam, an assistant political science professor at Davidson College who writes the political blog Frontloading HQ. Romney spent Tuesday evening at a Las Vegas fundraiser with Donald Trump, who has been renewing discredited suggestions that Obama wasn’t born in the United States. Romney says he believes Obama was born in America but has yet to condemn Trump’s repeated insinuations to the contrary. “If Mitt Romney lacks the backbone to stand up to a charlatan like Donald Trump because he’s so concerned about lining his campaign’s pockets, what does that say about the kind of president he would be?” Obama’s deputy campaign manager, Stephanie Cutter, said in a statement. Asked Monday about Trump’s contentions, Romney said: “I don’t agree with all the people who support me. And my guess is they don’t all agree with everything I believe in.” He added: “But I need to get 50.1 percent or more. And I’m appreciative to have the help of a lot of good people.”

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — Doc Watson, the blind Grammy-award winning folk musician whose mountain-rooted sound was embraced by generations and whose lightning-fast style of influenced flatpicking guitarists around the world, died Tuesday at a North Carolina hospital, according to a hospital spokeswoman and his manager. He was 89. Watson died at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center in Winston-Salem, where he was hospitalized recently after falling at his home in Deep Gap, in the Blue Ridge Mountains. He underwent abdominal surgery while in the hospital and had been in critical condition for several days. Arthel “Doc” Watson’s mastery of flatpicking helped make the case for the guitar as a lead instrument in the 1950s and 1960s, when it was often considered a backup for the mandolin, fiddle or banjo. His fast playing could intimidate other musicians, even his own grandson, who performed with him. Richard Watson said in a 2000 interview with The Associated Press that his grandfather’s playing had a humbling effect on other musicians. “Everybody that’s picked with you says you intimidate them, and that includes some of the best,” Richard Watson told him. The ever-humble Doc Watson found it hard to believe. Country and bluegrass singer Ricky Skaggs said Tuesday evening, “An old ancient warrior has gone home.”
The Sidney Recreation Board will elect officers and receive updates on the Interstate 75 Gateway beautification project when it meets Monday in city council chambers at the municipal building.

sented a plaque in appreciation. Board president Everett read a letter of resignation from fair director Ron Schmerge which the board accepted with appreciation for his service. Everett also reported on the fair board’s sponsorship program and thanked board members for their efforts to obtain sponsors to help defray costs of the fair. It was reported the Junior Fair Board will be holding a scrap metal drive June 8 and 9 and June 15 and 16. All metal can be taken to the fairgrounds using the fair gate behind the grandstand.
From Page 1 north side of Poplar Street adjacent to the Central School building where, due to the alignment of the street, the sidewalk area is in private property. The discrepancy was created when the original right-of-way was vacated in 1955. The Sidney City Board of Education is proceeding with plans to dispose of the property and a future owner could block, or remove entirely the sidewalk if it remains on private property. Following council’s legislative agenda, Ginger Adams, finance officer, discussed proposed online access to utility bills and payment options as well as available and proposed payment options, including online payment via the city’s Website. Karen Berning, the city’s revenue collections manager, demonstrated the new Website payment process in a power point presentation. Adams also asked council to provide direction regarding a possible increase in Permissive Motor Vehicle License fees. Council, as was the case in 2011, opted not to increase current fees which total $10 per vehicle.
Larry Broughton, water plant supervisor, previewed this year’s Safe Drinking Water Act Consumer Confidence report which will be provided every city utilities customer. The mandated report describes the city’s water supply source, lists any contaminants detected, any Ohio Environmental Protection Agency violations and the availability of source water assessment reports. He said a public meeting on the report will be held July 18 at the water treatment plant. Bob Parker, Shelby County United Way director, presented the city its Bronze award for city employees’ contributions to the 2011 campaign. Duane Gaier and Vice Mayor Mardie Milligan, who presided over Monday night’s meeting in the absence of Mayor Mike Barhorst, accepted the certificate. During the citizens’ comments portion of Monday’s meeting, Diane Bender, a Norwood Avenue resident, asked council to consider additional lighting along the Veterans Memorial Walkway. City Manager Mark Cundiff agreed to look into existing conditions.

Board OKs proposal
During its May meeting, the Shelby County Agriculture Society (fair board) accepted a proposal from BMI Works to add sweeping of fairgrounds streets during the fair to its contract for cleaning bathrooms, collecting trash and providing port-a-johns at a total cost of $7,000. Streets will be swept with a water- type sweeper to reduce the dust. The board also accepted an estimate from Hosack Construction to repair the bathroom roof and re-shingle spots on AP Photo/The Winston-Salem Journal, Lauren Carroll Community Foundation IN THIS May 1, 2011 file Hall at a cost of $850.

No. 1 in the classroom The Ohio High School Fastpitch Softball Coaches Association recently announced its Team Academic recognition, and the Fort Loramie Lady Redskins were the No. 1 team among the non-weighted schools in the state of Ohio with a 3.729 grade point average. It marked the second year in a row Fort Loramie finished in the top five, placing third last spring with a 3.740 GPA. The team GPA is calculated by averaging all varsity letter-winners’ first semester GPA. “This award and acknowledgement is testament to the type of kids we have and the kind of familes they come from,” said Loramie head coach Brad Turner. “They work hard, are motivated and are well-rounded student-athletes. Having smart players who push for excellence is a real blessing for a coach. In the front (l-r) are Janell Hoying, Danielle Wehrman, Hallie Benanzer, Hope Ruhenkamp, Darian Rose, Toni Berning, Reggi Brandewie and Taylor Timmerman. Standing are coach Nick Turner, Julie Hoying, Megan Bollheimer, Ashley Ordean, Paige Ordean, Vicki Long, Katie Eilerman, Macy Turner, Elizabeth Barhorst, coach Kevin Musser and head coach Brad Turner.
Smith trying to revive career PITTSBURGH (AP) — The Heisman Trophy Troy Smith won at Ohio State in 2006 lays in storage somewhere in Cleveland. The quarterback is hoping his career avoids the same fate. Smith is trying to break back into the NFL with the Pittsburgh Steelers, who signed him in the offseason as an insurance policy during organized team activities and training camp. The 27-year-old who dazzled while leading the Buckeyes to a Big Ten title and a berth in the national title game during his senior season is now a journeyman trying to beat out established veterans Byron Leftwich and Charlie Batch for a spot behind Ben Roethlisberger. The odds are long. Time is short. Yet Smith hardly seems stressed. “I’ve always had to do a little bit more,” Smith said. “That’s the only way that I’ve approached working. That’s the only way that I’ve approached life. You get out what you put in.” Maybe, though Smith acknowledges this isn’t where he expected to be at this point in his life. Selected in the fifth round of the 2007 NFL Draft by Baltimore, Smith made the

The victory capped an otherwise miserable 5-11 season for the Ravens, who promptly drafted Joe Flacco the following spring. Smith welcomed the competition, but it was
over before it barely began when he developed Lemierre’s syndrome. The illness starts as a sore throat then blossoms into an infection. In Smith’s case, the disease attacked the pain receptors in Smith’s lungs. A bout with tonsillitis followed and he dropped 45 pounds off his 6-foot frame. Smith never did compete with Flacco for the job and when Flacco led the Ravens to the playoffs as a rookie, Smith was rendered a backup. Baltimore cut him after the 2009 season and Smith landed a spot in San Francisco. He ended up starting six games, posting a 3-3 record while passing for 1,176 yards with five touchdowns against four interceptions. Solid numbers, but not enough to keep him from losing his job when Jim Harbaugh took over as coach. The phone stopped ringing and Smith found himself taking a job with the Omaha Nighthawks of the United Football League. He started just one game, throwing for 191 yards and two touchdowns in a loss to the Sacramento Mountain Lions. Hardly Ohio State-Michigan. Yet Smith doesn’t consider
his time in the UFL a setback, pointing out “guys want to take a quarterback’s head off, no matter what league it is.” He did enough to earn a call from the Steelers, a team he grew up rooting against while growing up in Cleveland. There were other opportunities, Smith said, but the Browns weren’t one of them. When asked if he thought it was odd Cleveland didn’t reach out considering the team’s unsettled quarterback situation, Smith just shrugged his shoulders. “They’ve been making decisions like that in the city for a long time, baffling decisions,” he said. The Browns addressed their quarterback needs in the draft by taking Oklahoma State’s Brandon Weeden, who is actually a year older than Smith. He didn’t take it personally, though pointing out the team “drives my mom crazy.” Smith is hoping for a little sanity in Pittsburgh, where he faces an uphill battle to make it to September. Making things even more difficult is the task of trying to decipher new offensive coordinator Todd Haley’s playbook while working with the fourth string.

CLEVELAND (AP) — Mike Moustakas had a careerbest four RBIs to help rookie Will Smith get his first major league win, leading the Kansas City Royals to an 8-2 win over the Cleveland Indians on Tuesday night. Moustakas hit a two-run homer off Justin Masterson (2-4) in the first and singled in two runs in the second. That was more than enough support for Smith (11), who allowed two runs and four hits in six innings. The left-hander rebounded nicely after being thumped by the New York Yankees in his major league debut last week. Humberto Quintero added two RBIs as the Royals, despite three errors and 12 strikeouts, improved to 15-11 on the road. Masterson, who beat Detroit ace Justin Verlander in his previous start, allowed seven earned runs in six innings. The Indians have dropped four of five since sweeping the Tigers last week. The 22-year-old Smith took the mound with a 2-0 lead but quickly found trouble, walking the first two hitters he faced before giving up a single to load the bases. Smith limited the damage to two runs and gained strength as he went along. After he allowed two singles in the third, the only Cleveland player to reach — on a throwing error by third baseman Moustakas — was erased on a double play. Smith walked two and struck out five. Masterson trailed 7-2 after two innings but, like Smith, the right-hander found his groove and finished with no walks and eight strikeouts, his most since fanning 10 on Opening Day. Most of the pregame discussion centered around Cleveland closer Chris Perez’s gesture toward Royals outfielder Jarrod Dyson in the ninth inning of Monday’s series opener. Perez, who irked the Royals with comments earlier this season, celebrated a strikeout of Dyson by waving his hand — “You can’t see me” — in front of his face. Dyson was annoyed by Perez’s antics and was looking forward to getting even with the right-hander. That matchup never materialized as the Royals built a large lead and rolled. Indians shortstop Asdrubal Cabrera went 1 for 4 as the DH after missing three consecutive games with a tight hamstring. By the end of the second inning, Moustakas already had his four RBIs and was looking for more. After connecting for his eighth homer in the first, his two-run single capped a five-run outburst in the second off Masterson as the Royals opened a five-run lead. Kansas City used smallball tactics — a single, hit batter and sacrifice — to set things up before Quintero, Alex Gordon and Johnny Giavotella delivered RBI singles. Moustakas just missed hitting a three-run homer before his base hit made it 7-2. Moustakas was batting just .115 (3 of 26) on the road trip before his homer in the first. With Giavotella on with a fielder’s choice, Moustakas drove Masterson’s 3-1 pitch over the wall in right-center to make it 2-0. The Indians tied it in their half on RBIs by Jose Lopez and Michael Brantley, and Cleveland seemed to have Smith reeling. But the smooth lefty retired Aaron Cunningham on a popout before striking out Lonnie Chisenhall.

Michigan recruit finds that burning OSU letter a big deal ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) — Logan Tuley-Tillman insisted he didn’t think it was a big deal when he posted a picture on his Twitter account of him burning an envelope from Ohio State. The Michigan football recruit found out otherwise. “It’s been kind of crazy,” Tuley-Tillman said in a telephone interview Tuesday. The highly touted offensive tackle from Peoria, Ill., has committed to
“I don’t like the state of Ohio or that school. I can’t wait to play them.” Logan Tillman Michigan recruit the Wolverines’ 2013 recruiting class, and posted the photo Saturday. “I wanted to do it and send a message because people kept saying I was going to flip to Ohio,” Tuley-Tillman said. “I
don’t know why they sent me that letter when they know I’m committed to Michigan. I don’t like the state of Ohio or that school. I can’t wait to play them.” Tuley-Tilman was picking up on Brady Hoke’s penchant of referring to the rival as Ohio, not Ohio State, since taking over college football’s winningest program in 2011. NCAA rules prohibit Hoke commenting on recruits until they sign a
letter of intent. Hoke, though, has said he isn’t a big fan of social media when it is used for sharing personal thoughts and pictures for all to see. Wolverines offensive line coach Darrell Funk, according to Tuley-Tillman, has been in touch since the inflammatory picture heated up one of the best rivalries in sports. “He told me to be careful,” Tuley-Tillman said.

IN BRIEF
Hallady out 6-to-8 weeks NEW YORK (AP) — Philadelphia Phillies ace Roy Halladay is expected to miss six to eight weeks because of a strained right shoulder, the latest major setback for the five-time NL East champions. Halladay was put on the 15-day disabled list Tuesday, two days after he was hit hard and pulled from a start in St. Louis after just two innings because of shoulder soreness. The two-time Cy Young winner will be shut down for a minimum of three weeks, then work toward rejoining the rotation, Phillies assistant general manager Scott Proefrock said. Proefrock said tests done in Philadelphia indicated Halladay doesn’t need surgery to recover and that the injury doesn’t affect his rotator cuff. Halladay is 4-5 with a 3.98 ERA in 11 starts.
Weaver put on 15-day DL ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Los Angeles Angels ace Jered Weaver has been placed on the 15-day disabled list with a lower-back injury that likely will force last season's AL Cy Young runner-up to miss at least two starts. The Angels made the move Tuesday, recalling touted prospect Garrett Richards from Triple-A Salt Lake. Weaver threw just 12 pitches Monday night against the Yankees before pulling up awkwardly after a pitch to Robinson Cano. He was diagnosed with lower back spasms and a strained muscle around a disc in his lower spine. Weaver is 6-1 with a 2.61 ERA this season, throwing a no-hitter against Minnesota on May 2. He says he's particularly frustrated because the injury prevents him from making starts against the Yankees and the defending AL champion Texas Rangers this week.

ALLEN, Texas (AP) — Terrell Owens has been released by the Allen Wranglers and lost his ownership stake in the Indoor Football League team. The team says Owens didn't plan to play in two upcoming road games with possible playoff impliAP Photo/Joe Watts cations. The six-time Pro Bowl receiver also was a lis 500 auto race at Indianapolis Motor Speedway no-show for a scheduled appearance at a local children's hospital with other players and coaches. in Indianapolis Sunday. Wranglers owner Jon Frankel said in a statement Tuesday that the team couldn't keep a player like Owens when fans were noticing and commenting about a "lack of effort both on and off the field." The 38-year-old Owens didn't get any NFL offers to play last season after surgery on his left knee. He had 35 catches for 420 yards and 10 touchdowns while playing eight of Allen's 11 games.
It’s Marco’s turn to feel Andretti frustration at Indy not among the 19 drivers at Tuesday’s test at Milwaukee. Teammate James Hinchcliffe said Andretti was “a little sore” after the crash but otherwise handled his frustration well. “He got in Indy cars when he was 19, so he’s been doing this a long time,” Hinchcliffe said. “At 19 years old, he lost the Indy 500 by half a carlength — and I think handled it very well, well beyond his years. For him to have led as much as he did (Sunday) and have as strong a day as he did and to end the way it did, yeah, it’s bitterly disappointing. But Marco’s been around long enough to know that you race on.” And Hinchcliffe doesn’t get the sense that having the Andretti name — and all the baggage that comes with it at Indianapolis — weighs too heavily on Marco. “It’s something that he’s had to deal with his whole life, whether it’s at Indy or Milwaukee or Toronto,” Hinchcliffe said. “Every time he gets in a car, his grandfather’s still Mario and his dad’s still Michael. ... Indy means so much to all the drivers, and everybody’s got a different sort of personal connec-
tion with that race. And while fans may try to add pressure because of the name, I don’t think it’s something that weighs on him too, too much.” Michael Andretti said he hasn’t had to console his son, who is focused on the IndyCar series’ race in the Detroit area this weekend. “I didn’t really even see him much,” Andretti said. “I mean, you don’t have to. He’s been there long enough. He’s seen it with me, and he just knows. His focus is on Detroit.”
TV ratings up for 500 Early television ratings are showing this year’s Indianapolis 500 had more viewers than any time since 2008. Based on the numbers provided by Nielsen Media Research and ESPN, Sunday’s race attracted nearly 6.9 million viewers and drew a 4.34 rating. The 2011 race, won by the late Dan Wheldon, drew a 4.03. That was also Danica Patrick’s final Indy 500 appearance before jumping to NASCAR. Series officials say the 4.34 for Sunday’s race, the third victory for Dario Franchitti, was the best showing since Scott Dixon won the race in 2008.

Butler to Atlantic-10 sooner INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Butler is leaving the Horizon League and joining the Atlantic 10 sooner than expected. Late Tuesday afternoon, the school announced that it would begin playing in the A-10 this fall, one year sooner than originally planned. School officials say the two leagues were able to accommodate a quicker move. Bulldogs athletic director Barry Collier says the school is grateful that things could be worked out this quickly and that it was in the school's best interest to reach an agreement with the Horizon League to leave immediately. Horizon League spokesman Bill Benner declined to comment on the early move. The Atlantic 10 says it will now compete as a 16team league in 2012-13.
Government rests its case WASHINGTON (AP) — It took 24 witnesses over 19 days of testimony for prosecutors to make their case against Roger Clemens, with three jurors and two minor pieces of the indictment dismissed by the time they were done. With the overlong-running trial now in its seventh week and Clemens' lawyers starting to take their turn, the case remains centered on the credibility of one person — Brian McNamee. The government rested Tuesday in the perjury trial of the seven-time Cy Young Award winner, wrapping up with a witness from Wall Street and two from the FBI. Two invoked the name of McNamee, the longtime Clemens strength coach who says he injected the ex-pitcher with steroids.

dretti curse.” Marco’s grandfather, Mario, won it in 1969 — and never won again in 24 more tries. Michael led 431 laps in 16 career starts but never won. “I was never able to do it as a driver, but finally was able to do it a couple times as an owner,” Michael Andretti said. “Now I know how Marco’s feeling. I know, better than anybody, how Marco’s feeling. And I feel so bad for him, because he had the car to win. Bad luck, gets a vibration, comes in the pits one lap early and the yellow comes out, he loses a lap and his race is ruined. That place, it’s frustrating. Keep plugging along, keep pushing it. We’re going to win it soon.” Marco came close in his first try, finishing second by a nose to Sam Hornish Jr. in 2006. He has led laps in five of his seven Indy starts and finished third in 2008 and 2010. Michael says his son’s frustration might go beyond Indy. Marco has two career wins in IndyCar. But given his talent, should he have more? “I think the pressure is on him to perform, and he’s led so many races and stuff but he hasn’t gotten the job done enough,” Michael Andretti said. “I think he’s feeling that pressure more than anything right now. He’s ready to have that breakout. He just needs to have that. Indy, for instance. I know that if he would have won Indy, he would have followed up with three, four wins in a row.” Marco Andretti was

WEST ALLIS, Wis. (AP) — Given his family’s checkered history in the Indianapolis 500, Michael Andretti understands better than anybody why his son, Marco, was so frustrated during Sunday’s race. And as a race car driver, Andretti knows there’s only one way for his son to get over a growing sense of frustration at Indy. It’s something Michael wasn’t able to do himself as a driver: Win it. “You’re still human,” Michael Andretti said Tuesday, during a test session for the June 1516 IndyFest at the Milwaukee Mile. “And until it happens, he’s going to be that way. And once it happens, I think you’ll see a different person. It’s just that way. I know it was that way with me. You can talk until you’re blue in the face, but that pressure and everything that you have there is just going to be there.” Marco Andretti led 59 laps Sunday, more than any other driver. But he got shuffled back in the field by an illtimed caution flag after a pit stop. Then he crashed on lap 188, ending his day. Before the crash, he spent much of the afternoon venting frustration to his crew on the radio. “He gets a little excited still,” said Michael, whose Andretti Autosport team fields cars for Marco. “I think he felt that it was slipping away.” It was the latest example of rotten luck for a member of the Andretti family at Indy, something many have come to call the “An-

BULLETIN BOARD
Valdez joins forum PIQUA — The National Association of Community College Entrepreneurship (NACCE), the nation’s leading organization focused on promoting Valdez entrepreneurship through community colleges, has announced that President Cristobal Valdez of Edison Community College has joined its new Presidents for Entrepreneurship Forum. Through the program, presidents of community colleges throughout the country commit to increase the focus on entrepreneurship at their institutions and the impact these colleges have on the economic wellbeing of the communities they serve. Officials from four other Ohio community colleges have also joined the new forum. With the economy still lagging in many regions of the United States, more than 170 community colleges have joined the entrepreneurship forum, and by doing so, have committed to playing a greater role in stimulating economic development in the communities they serve. “Edison Community College understands and welcomes our role in economic and business development for a more vibrant economy in Darke, Miami and Shelby counties,” Valdez said. “We anticipate continuing to partner with the small business development center and other Ohio community colleges to provide entrepreneurship instruction, training and mentorship. Following our successful Entrepreneurship boot camp, we look forward to being a resource for aspiring and emerging entrepreneurs in the area.” According to NACCE Executive Director Heather Van Sickle, the Presidents for Entrepreneurship Forum is a way for community colleges to advance entrepreneurship and create jobs across the country. Community college presidents who join the Forum make five commitments: • Develop transparency of community college and community assets • Create internal and external teams dedicated to entrepreneurship • Increase entrepreneurs’ engagement in community colleges • Engage in industry cluster development • Create broad exposure to their college’s commitment to entrepreneurship.

Working independently and in small groups, students will apply their knowledge of materials, the pollination system and agricultural engineering as they imagine, plan, create, test and improve their own hand pollinators. • “Catching the Wind: Designing Wind-
mills” for students entering grades 4 and 5. Students will look critically at several common machines (mechanical pencils, egg beaters, rolling pins), diagram how the parts of the machine interact with other parts and determine how they come together to achieve their primary function. As a final challenge, students will build and evaluate their own windmill. Students must bring a cleaned-out, dry, half-gallon cardboard milk or juice carton for this workshop. • “An A-MAZING Adventure” for students entering grades 4 and 5. Students will design and construct walls, ramps, tunnels, and towers to avoid traps and turns through a maze of possibilities. The quest will take students through three mazes of differing construction, materials and tasks. • “Armstrong Air and Space Young Astronaut Camp” for students entering grades 6 and 7. Experts from the Armstrong Air and Space Museum will work with students during this workshop. As
astronaut trainees, students will use their problem-solving skills to work as a team to complete engineering challenges and aviation activities. Students will learn to use a telescope, identify constellations, and virtually explore other worlds. Trainees will demonstrate their understanding of the engineering design process by building and launching their own model rockets. Students in grades 2 to 3, 4 to 5, and 6 to 7 will be grouped into learning cohorts for this camp. Each cohort will be led by a certified teacher and aide. A maximum of 30 students will participate in each cohort. The registration fee is $95 per student, which includes student supplies and resources and a daily snack and beverage. The camp will be held from 8:45 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. at Sidney Middle School, 980 Fair Road. For more information or to receive an enrollment form, visit www.shelbycountyesc.com or call 498-1354.

LLIA learns of tree replacement program FORT LORAMIE — Brian Miller, manager of both Grand Lake St. Marys and Lake Loramie state parks, told the Lake Loramie Improvement Association’s May meeting a $2,300 Plant-A-Tree program grant will provide replacement trees at the local campground. The new trees will replace some of more than 100 ash trees that have been removed following damage by the Emerald Ash Borer. Miller also reported the lake is about one-quarter inch above the spillway and has been stocked with 90,904 fingerling saugeye. He said a new Lake Loramie spillway is being studied, and the park is atop the list for the replacement. Dredging is taking place north of the Luthman Road bridge this summer. Miller also said signs are being posted around Ohio’s lakes showing problems that could occur if pollutants affect the waters. The signs are
being placed for educational purposes. He said he hopes people will recognize “duck weed� or pond scum that often occurs on the lake is a healthy vegetation on which ducks and geese feed. Lynn Smith led a presentation on a 24-by36-foot shelter to be constructed in the Daniels area near the new restrooms and park office. The new building would have a concrete floor, treated wood support posts, laminated wood trusses, a tongue-andgroove wood ceiling and green metal roof. It is designed to eliminate roosting by birds. LLIA members agreed to budget $16,000 toward

Holocaust survivor addresses students FORT LORAMIE — Sam Offen, a survivor of the Holocaust, spoke to students and the community last month at Fort Loramie High School. He shared his story of survival and how devastating life was under the Nazi regime, describing slave labor, ghetto confinement and concentration camp horror. Despite the pain he
faced, Offen shared his story of triumph of the human spirit and faith. Students from sixth thought 12th grades heard the amazing story of his journey and how he and his two brothers all survived the ordeal. The Offens frequently share their story with schools and other community groups. He currently resides in Farmington Hills, Mich.
Special meeting planned FORT LORAMIE — A special meeting of the Fort Loramie Board of Education has been scheduled for Thursday evening to consider a staff resignation. The meeting will be held at 8 p.m. in the district office.

Mr. Anthony has been superintendent of the public schools at Minster for the past six years. He took possession of the paper at once and is now in charge. Mr. Sherman plans to locate in Texas where he recently has purchased a large tract of land. ––––– There was no band concert last evening because there is a lack of funds in the city treasury to pay for concerts.

cosamine. How long can I safely take it? — M.F. ANSWER: Glucosamine isn’t considered a drug, so it’s not under close scrutiny from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The body makes its own glucosamine. It’s a component of joint cartilage and joint lubricating fluid. It’s natural to think it would make an ideal material for those with arthritis. Most commercial glucosamine is obtained from the shells of marine life, like shrimp and crabs. Glucosamine appears to be a safe product. You can take it for as long as you like. For people with diabetes, it possibly could upset blood sugar control. Doctors and the medical establishment are not impressed by its performance. Many users are. Sometimes it’s used in conjunction with another supplement, chondroitin. For myself, I wouldn’t continue taking it for more than two months if it wasn’t working.
district manager for Ohio Telephone Service Co., announced today that the distribution of the new telephone directory for the Sidney district has been completed. Hetzler points out that the new 1962 directory contains the new seven digit telephone number. For instance, Sidney number Hyacinth 2-4181 will simply change to 492-4181. ––––– Dr. Conlyn John Cederblom, who is serving his internship at City Hospital, Springfield, will become an associate of Dr. George J.

Or should I just break it off P.S. Because many people
on dating sites don’t tell the whole truth, it’s possible he not only won’t be shocked but will have a few things to fess up about, too. DEAR ABBY: My 37-yearold son, “Dave,” has two children, a daughter who is 18 and a son who is 10. He’s a single parent. Until she was 15, my granddaughter, “Nicole,” was the perfect child. Then she started getting into trouble, stopped going to school, ran away repeatedly and caused our entire family a great deal of stress. She was arrested at
17 for credit card fraud and was caught soliciting. Dave has decided he never wants to see Nicole again because of her actions. He has given me an ultimatum. Either I have him in my life or I have her, but not both. He doesn’t even want me to talk to her on the phone. He says that Nicole “killed a part of him” by doing everything she did, and me talking to her would be like talking to my son’s murderer. Please tell me what you think. I understand how hurt my son is and don’t want to hurt him further, but I don’t
think he should tell me what I can do. — FLORIDA GRANDMA DEAR GRANDMA: I agree with you. Your son may have written Nicole off, but he does not have the right to dictate that you must do the same. You may see and speak to whomever you wish, and that includes the granddaughter you obviously love. However, by maintaining contact with her, there may be a steep price to pay, not only because it may estrange you from your son, but also because your granddaughter is a deeply troubled girl.
