NEW YORK (AP) — President Barack Obama and Republican Mitt Romney and their allies so far have spent a jaw-dropping $87 million on TV ads in just a handful of presidential battleground states, an early and unprecedented explosion of spending for a general election still a full five months away. The avalanche of ad dollars is larger in size and scope at this point that in any previous campaign, fueled by the closeness of the race, a proliferation of deep-pocketed independent groups and an eagerness on both sides to frame the debate before summer when voters pay little attention. “The presidential race has been surprising to us — the amount of it and the early entry,” said Mike Lake, sales director for KCRG-TV, the largest station in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. “But this is just the tip of the iceberg.” Viewers in that metro area of 260,000 people have each been subject to about 330 ads already, according to the Iowa-based media firm Strategic America, and the largely rural state has already seen $6 million in presidential campaign advertising since late April, with four of its metropolitan areas ranking in the top 20 for spending nationwide. Television ads are just one component of a presidential campaign’s multimillion-dollar effort to woo voters; the Romney and Obama teams See MILLIONS/Page 7

Cuckoo clock has new home in Sugarcreek SUGARCREEK (AP) — One of the world’s largest cuckoo clocks has a new home in an Ohio village. The wooden clock measures more than 23 feet tall, 24 feet wide and 13 feet deep. It was hauled Wednesday from a vacant lot to a street corner in Sugarcreek, about 70 miles south of Cleveland. It features a handcarved, five-piece band playing music and a cuckoo bird that sounds
at regular intervals. Sugarcreek Mayor Clayton Weller tells The Times-Reporter in nearby New Philadelphia the clock doesn’t function and will get needed electrical work to operate again. A Swiss cheesemaker added the clock at his restaurant near Wilmot three decades ago. The restaurant closed in 2009, and the clock was sold to an Ohio man who agreed to move it to Sugarcreek.

Littering ticket tossed CLEVELAND (AP) — Prosecutors tossed out a $344 littering citation against a driver whose money fell to the ground after he reached through his open car window to hand it to a panhandler. The city dropped the ticket because it decided the cash didn’t qualify as trash, assistant city Jonathan prosecutor Cudnik said during a court hearing Thursday. John Davis, of Elyria, had pleaded not guilty to the minor misdemeanor earlier in the week and said he was determined to fight the ticket. He said he was trying to help someone in need when he handed the money to the panhandler, who was in a wheelchair at a busy intersection during rush hour on May 17. A police officer who was behind Davis saw the money hit

the ground and cited him for littering. Davis told reporters Thursday that he was glad the matter was now over, but he said he’d no longer give money to people along the road and instead would give to charities. Cleveland police said it’s illegal to solicit or give money at the side of a roadway, and that it’s dangerous for those doing it and other drivers. The police officer didn’t ticket Davis for donating to a panhandler, which carries a smaller fine of about $160, but instead cited him for littering from a vehicle. The man in the wheelchair was not cited for panhandling, but he has been many times in the past at the same spot and along other roadways, police said.

Warrants: Hundreds visit massage parlors COLUMBUS (AP) — Dozens or even hundreds of men visited a series of massage parlors for illegal sex in a northeast Ohio city where the women in the businesses, many of them Korean and poor English speakers, may be working against their will, according to search warrants executed on the parlors. The warrants describe in graphic detail the type and cost of alleged sexual acts at the spas in Warren, just east of Akron, and portray women working long hours who are escorted when they want to go shopping by men dubbed “jockeys.” The spas are run by an unknown “higher up” who brings the women For photo reprints, visit www.sidneydailynews.com SDN Photo/Luke Gronneberg from Korea to New York MOLLY KEISER, 4, with her dad, Mike Keiser, watch as a new house is placed across the street from to Ohio, where they aptheirs at 742 Foraker Drive in Sidney Thursday morning.

One 25-year-old employee of Gemini Health Spa said she worked 12hour shifts three days a week, where her job was to bring men into the spa, give them showers, wash them, provide massages and then perform sex acts. The warrants say many of the women are Korean and appear not to speak good English. The customers were mainly from outside the Warren area. Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine says about 60 agents in his office’s Bureau of Criminal Investigation served search warrants Wednesday on eight spa businesses. DeWine launched the investigation at the request of Warren Police Chief Timothy Bowers. The businesses include Sun Spa, Tokyo Health Spa and Hong Kong Spa. An attorney representing the businesses in a lawsuit said authorities did not observe any acts of prostitution when they searched the establishments.

the project was one that was really enjoyed by the students because it gave them real life experience while on the job. But, he added, that wasn’t the only reason the students got a kick out of the project. “They are looking forward to meeting the people that will live in the home,” said Lenhart, who plans to take the students who worked on the project to 742 Foraker St. at the start of next year as a field trip. “They know that this house is going to a good cause and that it will be in the community for many years to come.

BRADFORD — An area man has died following a Tuesday afternoon crash in the 10000 block of Ohio 185, near Bradford. Sgt. Lee McCartney of the Miami County Sheriff’s Office said that Donald J. Yingst, 48, of Covington, was eastbound on Ohio185 at about 3 p.m. when his vehicle ran off the right
side of the roadway, spun around and struck a large tree. The impact was at the driver’s side door. Emergency responders from Bradford initially called for CareFlight but cancelled the helicopter after arriving on the scene to find Yingst deceased. McCartney said that the Chevrolet Cavalier was transported to the sheriff ’s office impound yard where it will undergo an inspection to

Law headed to Supreme Court
More woes for euro GerFRANKFURT, many (AP) — The head of the European Central Bank warned Thursday that the euro currency union is “unsustainable” without stronger political and financial ties, and called for a new course to save it from a crippling debt crisis. Mario Draghi heaped criticism on European political leaders for being slow to respond to the 2year crisis, saying delays and half-measures had only made the situation worse. Speaking to the European Parliament in Brussels, Draghi said the central bank has done what it could to fight the problems by reducing interest rates and giving $1.2 trillion (1 trillion) in emergency loans to banks. Now, he said, it is up to the 17 member countries to devise a broad vision for the future.
Economy appears weaker WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. economy is looking slightly weaker one day before a critical report on May job growth. Economic growth was a little slower in the first three months of the year than first estimated, largely because governments and consumers spent less and businesses restocked their supplies more slowly. The number of people who applied for unemployment benefits rose to a five-week high last week. And a survey of private companies showed only modest hiring gains last month. Still, a softer job market hasn’t caused Americans to scale back spending. Consumers spent more at retail stores in May than the same month last year, buying more clothes and Mother’s Day gifts.
Ban on soda proposed NEW YORK (AP) — Want to super-size that soda? Sorry, but in New York City you could be out of luck. In his latest effort to fight obesity in this era of Big Gulps and triple bacon cheeseburgers, Mayor Michael Bloomberg is proposing an unprecedented ban on large servings of soda and other sugary drinks at restaurants, delis, sports arenas and movie theaters. Drinks would be limited to 16 ounces, which is considered a small serving at many fast-food joints.

Edwards acquitted on 1 charge GREENSBORO, N.C. (AP) — John Edwards’ campaign finance fraud case ended in a mistrial Thursday when jurors acquitted him on one of six charges but were unable to decide whether he misused money from two wealthy donors to hide his pregnant mistress while he ran for president. The trial exposed a sordid sex scandal that unfolded while Edwards’ wife was dying of cancer, but prosecutors couldn’t convince jurors that
the ex-U.S. senator and 2004 vice presidential candidate masterminded a $1 million cover-up of his affair. “While I do not believe I did anything illegal, or ever thought I was doing anything illegal, I did an awful, awful lot that was wrong and there is no one else responsible for my sins,” Edwards said on the courthouse steps. He also said he had hope for his future. “I don’t think God’s through with me. I really believe he
thinks there’s still some good things I can do.” Edwards would have faced up to 30 years in prison and $1.5 million in fines if convicted of all charges. He did not testify, along with his mistress Rielle Hunter and the two donors whose money was at issue. Jurors acquitted him on a charge of accepting illegal campaign contributions, involving $375,000 from elderly heiress Rachel “Bunny” Mellon in 2008.
Bush steals the White House show WASHINGTON (AP) — It’s Barack Obama’s house now, but his predecessor and political foil, George W. Bush, stole the show at the White House on Thursday with his wisecracks and grin. “Thank you so much for inviting our rowdy friends to my hanging,” the former president said, referring to members of his family and former staff, invited back to the executive mansion for the unveiling of his and Laura Bush’s official portraits. “Behave yourselves,” he jokingly admonished his crowd.

Syria blames rebels for massacre BEIRUT (AP) — Syria on Thursday blamed up to 800 rebel fighters for the massacre in central Syria last week that killed more than 100 people, nearly half of them children, in its most comprehensive explanation to date of the bloodshed. The narrative starkly contradicted accounts of witnesses who blamed “shabiha” or the shadowy gunmen who operate on behalf of President Bashar Assad’s regime. The U.N. also said it had strong suspicions those pro-regime gunmen were responsible for much of the carnage on Friday in a cluster of villages known as Houla.
Cruising at 193 mph
MILLIONS
ROSENDALE, N.Y. (AP) — Authorities say a 28-yearold man in upstate New York has been charged with driving his motorcycle at nearly 200 mph on a highway in the rain. State police say a trooper clocked Anthony Anderson of Poughkeepsie driving at 193 mph around 8 p.m. Wednesday in the southbound lanes of Interstate 87 just south of Albany — the same stretch of road where another motorcyclist was spotted doing 166 mph earlier this month. The trooper was able to get a description of the highperformance bike and alerted nearby patrols. Troopers eventually stopped Anderson in the town of Rosendale. He told them he was headed to a hospital to visit a patient.
will also spend heavily on tools from digital targeting to field operations to direct mail. But the emergence of independent groups known as super political action committees has significantly crowded the airwaves, thanks to a trio of federal court decisions including Citizens United that loosened campaign finance restrictions, allowing corporations and wealthy individuals to spend freely on political ads of their own. The crush of spending indicates that TV ads still remain a powerful tool for campaigns even at a time when fewer Americans are watching broadcast TV in real time given technological advances. The targets have been limited. Most commercials the campaigns and super PACs are
Susan Rice, the U.S. ambassador to the U.N., dismissed the Syrian investigation’s conclusion as “another blatant lie,” telling reporters in New York “there is no factual evidence … that would substantiate that rendition of events.” Facing international outrage over the killings, Damascus launched its own investigation into the deaths and announced that special prayers for the victims would be held at mosques across the country on Friday. The U.N. chief warned of civil war and pleaded with the regime to stop its attacks. At a news conference
Thursday, Qassem Jamal Suleiman, who headed the government’s investigation into the massacre, categorically denied any regime role. He said hundreds of rebel gunmen carried out the slaughter after launching a coordinated attack on five security checkpoints. The aim, he said, was to frame the government and to ignite sectarian strife in Syria. “Government forces did not enter the area where the massacre occurred, not before the massacre and not after it,” he said, adding that the victims were families who refused to oppose the government or carry arms.
BOSTON (AP) — A battle over a federal law that defines marriage as a union between a man and a woman appears headed for the Supreme Court after an appeals court ruled Thursday that denying benefits to married gay couples is unconstitutional. In a unanimous decision, the three-judge panel of the 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Boston said the 1996 law deprives gay couples of the rights and privileges granted to heterosexual couples. The court didn’t rule on the law’s more politically combustible provision — that states without same-sex marriage cannot be forced to recognize gay unions performed in states where it’s legal. It also wasn’t asked to address whether gay couples have a constitutional right to marry. The law was passed at a time when it appeared Hawaii would legalize gay marriage. Since then, many states have instituted their own bans on gay marriage, while eight states have approved the practice, led by Massachusetts in 2004. The court, the first federal appeals panel to rule against the benefits section of the law, agreed with a lower court judge who in 2010 concluded that the law interferes with the right of a state to define marriage and denies married gay couples federal benefits given to heterosexual married couples, including the ability to file joint tax returns. The ruling came in two lawsuits, one filed by the Boston-based legal group Gay & Lesbian Advocates & Defenders (GLAD) and the other by state Attorney General Martha Coakley. “For me, it’s more just about having equality and not having a system of first- and secondclass marriages,” said plaintiff Jonathan Knight, a financial associate at Harvard Medical School who married Marlin Nabors in 2006. “I think we can do better, as a country, than that,” said Knight, a plaintiff in the GLAD lawsuit. Knight said the Defense of Marriage Act costs the couple an extra $1,000 a year because they cannot file a joint federal tax return. Opponents of gay marriage blasted the decision. “This ruling that a state can mandate to the federal government the definition of marriage for the sake of receiving federal benefits, we find really bizarre, rather arrogant, if I may say so,” said Kris Mineau, president of the Massachusetts Family Institute. Since Congress passed the law, eight states have approved gay marriage, including Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York, Iowa, New Hampshire, Vermont, Maryland, Washington state and the District of Columbia. Maryland and Washington’s laws are not yet in effect and may be subject to referendums.

“There hasn’t been a gentle ramp-up this year — it’s gone from zero to 60 very quickly,” said Ken Goldstein of KantarCampaign Media Analysis Group, which tracks political spending. “It’s also much more concentrated than we’ve seen it, and independent groups are playing a bigger role.” The Obama campaign started running general election ads in late March, while the Republican nominating contest was still under way. Romney began spending on general election ads in April, after his remaining GOP rivals dropped out and the former Massachusetts governor became the party’s all-butcertain nominee. At least one independent group backing him went on the air in March with commercials intended to help him.

The elementary students wanted to do something to help out with the fire we had. So they had a coin collection for a week that children could put change in the jars.

Turn around
Two changes
Today, the manufacturing sector is beginning to turn around. Over the last two years, our country has added 400,000 manufacturing jobs. We made a tough choice to restructure the auto companies, which has revitalized manufacturing across the supply chain. But it’s not enough — we must encourage companies to return to the United States and discourage them from ever leaving. We have to replace “outsourcing” with “reshoring” — bringing good-paying jobs back to the United States. Combined with our country’s outdated trade policy, current American tax law actually encourages companies to move jobs offshore — where labor is cheap and envi-
That’s why I’m sponsoring the Bring Jobs Home Act, which makes two common-sense changes in our tax laws — a carrot-and-stick approach. The proposed legislation would give a 20 percent tax credit for costs associated with moving a production line, trade or business back to the United States. Any business that brings jobs back to the United States can use this credit to reduce their overall tax liability. In providing this tax credit, we incentivize companies to reshore jobs that might have been moved abroad. It would also close the tax loophole that allows companies to take a tax deduction when they send jobs abroad. Our
laws should reward companies for bringing jobs to the United States, not for shipping them overseas. It’s clear why the United States, and Ohio especially, is a good place to do business. We have a first-class workforce, a strong network of colleges and universities, and manufacturing know-how that is second to none.
Infrastructure Despite all the roads and bridges we need to repair, which the Senatepassed highway bill takes a major step toward achieving, companies invest in the U.S. because we’re capable of building a first-class infrastructure. Not only that, but companies are returning to the U.S. because of higher costs associated with doing business abroad — whether that be transportation costs, higher labor wages in places like China, or the legal difficulties of doing business overseas. The Bring Jobs Home Act builds upon these factors by giving a real, financial incentive for companies to bring their production lines back to the United States. It aims to make the United States more attractive to business development and investment, and would help make our
China to Ohio Crane Plastics, also in Columbus, has successfully reshored jobs from China to Ohio. We need to turn our tax code right-side up when it comes to U.S. jobs — both promoting their creation and discouraging their elimination. That’s what the Bring Jobs Home Act does, and it’s one important step that we can take to continue turning our economy around. LETTER

TO THE EDITOR
Team had great meet Take role to save our sacred votes To the editor: I would like to express my disappointment over the recent coverage of the regional track meet held in Troy May 25. Every Shelby County school (that had participants in the meet) was named in the story, except Fort Loramie. This disheartens me because the Fort Loramie track team had a great meet. The girls team had a third place in the 4x800 relay, second in the 100-meter hurdles, third in the 1600-meter run, fourth in the 300-meter hurdles, second in the 800 meter run, fifth-place finish in the pole vault, and seventh in the 4x400 relay. The team placed fourth overall in total team points. The boys team had a sixth in the 110-meter hurdles and a sixth-place finish in the 1600-meter run. Every event that placed fourth or higher is moving onto the state meet next weekend in Columbus. I would like to congratulate Kyle, Ben, Katie, Kylie, Julia, Meg, Tara and Selene on a great meet. Good luck to the Lady Redskins and all of the other county athletes who have qualified to the state meet. Annette Baker 6217 Fort Loramie-Swanders Road Minster
country more competitive in the global marketplace. In Ohio, we’re seeing more and more anecdotal evidence that demonstrates how companies are actively moving operations back to the United States from abroad. For instance, Apex Sports, based in Zanesville, produces softballs with an engineered foam core. Once made in China, Apex Sports now makes its softballs in the United States. Roesweld Products is a small plastics extruder in Columbus, now making its product in Ohio instead of importing from China. Columbus-based Priority Designs manufactures D-Solv, a compostable netting bag system for yard waste. Its product is now made in the U.S. but previously was produced in Asia.
To the editor: Since so many things are happening in our world, I would like to encourage everyone to get a little more involved in politics. For instance, I recently realized we have more than 60 representatives in Washington, D.C., who are members of the Democratic Socialist Party. I am right now listening to Black Panthers spew hate speech. The budget is insane. Harry Reid won’t let any Republican budget come up for a vote and not one person voted for Obama’s plan. Do you have to live on a budget? So do I. Someone wanted to give $800 million to the Arab Spring, though that has not
passed yet. As a concerned citizen, I value my vote, but every day there are more questions about whether it will be counted. One piece of legislation included a detail stating that all military personnel must re-register in 2012 in order for their vote to count. What? Do they know this? In order for you to take an active role in saving our sacred votes, please check out Ohio Voter Integrity Project on the web. If you are interested in this and don’t have access, write to me, please.

Many supported school event
To the editor: I’ve been living in Japan for the past three years. While living here, I have seen the benefits of wind power for the local economies and can attest that a lot of the health-risk reports are overblown. If this is a clean way to bring power to the area without having to pollute further, then I say go for it. I also advise that if these wind turbines are built, they be built to the strictest of safety standards and use proven fire-suppression techniques in the event of a part failure that could result in the housing for the rotors catching fire. I say this because based upon all available documentation, that is the biggest concern. While the article referred to in the following link shouldn’t be definitive, it serves as a good starting point. Please read through and follow the references to learn more about wind power and the environmental effects and the cost-benefit analysis: http://en.wikipedia.org/w iki/Environmental_effects_of_wind_power I personally argue that the benefits outweigh the costs and will serve to bring a lot of good to Shelby County and the Miami Valley.

New mail carrier on the job BY TERRY PELLMAN JACKSON CENTER â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Residents served by the Jackson Center post office are seeing a new carrier placing the mail in the boxes. Rob Motter is now responsible for seeing that mail is delivered to all of the officeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s customers with home delivery. Motter assumed his new position on April 7, but he was already familiar with the duties of a mail carrier. Years ago he made contact with former Maplewood Postmaster Mike Clark and expressed his interest in working for the Postal Service.
Substitute carrier He ended up as a substitute carrier for 10 years there. He also occasionally helped out in Jackson Center, Anna and Botkins. Finding that he enjoyed the work very much, he decided to seek the Jackson Center position when it recently came open. A native of Vandalia, Motter became familiar with the area while spending time with local relatives. He had worked at the Provico

you have WPW pattern, not syndrome. When “syndrome” is used, it implies that the affected person has spells of rapid beating. You do not. Most likely, you have had these EKG changes from birth. You’ve never had a spell. You’re unlikely to ever have one. Treatment exists for people who do have the syndrome. A heart doctor can destroy the extra pathway by using a specially equipped catheter. Surgical removal is possible. Medicines can suppress the rapid-beating episodes. None of this applies to you. TO READERS: The booklet on chronic fatigue syndrome explains this mystifying disorder and its treatment. Readers can obtain a copy by writing: Dr. Donohue — No. 304, Box 536475, Or-
lando, FL 32853-5475. Enclose a check or money order (no cash) for $4.75 U.S./$6 Can. with the recipient’s printed name and address. Please allow four weeks for delivery. DEAR DR. DONOHUE: On more than one occasion, I have heard people say that surgery to remove cancer actually spreads it. Is this so? — N.N. ANSWER: Surgeons are careful when removing cancerous tumors to remove a rim of normal tissue surrounding the cancer. That prevents cancer cells from getting into the blood and spreading to distant sites. You and others should not doubt the safety of cancer surgery. When it’s appropriate, it saves lives.
you can’t help what happens in your childhood, but you can decide how you let it affect you. Or is it OK to stay on the path I have chosen and keep my distance from her? — MORALLY PERPLEXED IN TEXAS DEAR PERPLEXED: If a closer relationship with your mother would be dangerous for you emotionally, then you shouldn’t risk it. It is not your fault that the life she chose didn’t turn out to be a happy one for her. After years of being treated with indifference by her, if you choose to keep your distance, I support your decision. DEAR ABBY: Perhaps I’m a little old-fashioned, but do you think it’s acceptable when hav-

SATURDAY PREVIEW
PE teacher retires after 29 years BY TOM BARNETT tbarnett@sdnccg.com Darla Kreitzer, physical education teacher at Emerson Elementary School in Sidney the past 29 years, is among Sidney City Schools staff members retiring this year. Kreitzer began her long career in education substitute teaching in several Shelby County schools following graduation from Ohio Northern University in 1979. She has been teaching classes at Emerson since 1983. She received her master’s degree in education from Wright State University in 2000. “Working with my gracious, caring and compassionate friends and colleagues has been the highlight of my years in education.” she said. Kreitzer said her most memorable — “and scariest” — moment in and out of the classroom “occurred years ago during a field-day event. “The teachers were pulling against the fourth-grade tugof-war winners when suddenly the rope snapped. Everyone on both sides fell backward! Fortunately, no one was injured.”

DARLA KREITZER, of Botkins, spends a moment in the gym before her retirement after 29 years as physical education teacher at Emerson Elementary School. Changes she’s seen over the years? “When I began teaching we were still using typewriters and carbon paper. The biggest change in education has come from the world of technology,” she said.
Plans in retirement with family? “I grew up in the village of Botkins and married my husband, Thomas, in 1979, Kreitzer said. “We have three adult children, two sons, Drew and Nathan, and a
daughter, Jayme. “I enjoy walking, reading inspirational literature and working in my flower garden. When my husband retires in 2013, we plan to spend some time traveling throughout the U.S.”
Tree Board Nature preserve starts learns about fundraising drive pruning progarm During the Sidney Tree Board’s April meeting, Street Superintendent. Marty Keifer reported Tree Care Inc., the city’s pruning contractor, has completed twothirds of this year’s cyclical pruning contract. The area includes a 2011 section the former contractor did not complete. Street trees on Port Jefferson Road, Broadway Avenue, East Street, and Miami, Main, Wapakoneta, Ohio, St. Marys, West and Oak avenues are included in this year’s pruning contract. Also included are Overland, Bon Air, Summit, Belmont, Bennett, Norwood, Kossuth, New, Front, Brookburn, Doering, Williams, Grant, Piper, Garfield, Cleveland, Goode, Clinton, Norwood and Johnston streets. Co-chair Ann Asher and Jerry Kauffman were congratulated on their reappointment to Tree Board terms of office through 2014. Kauffman continues to volunteer to clear street trees of brush. Board member Mike Jannides reported the Downtown Business Association plans to install flowers in planters and is also looking into the possibility of light-pole hanging baskets next year. He said volunteers will be needed for watering and maintenance. Chairwoman Marcia Osborne asked the board if it wished to meet in May to discuss volunteers. Keifer suggested the board instead attend DBA meetings. Discussion on the frequency of Tree Board meetings followed. Osborne stated there needs to be a commitment to meet monthly instead of six times each year. She also said staff, led by Keifer and Joyce Reier, Public Works assistant, perform most of the board’s work and that board members need to be more pro-active. Reier said three board members have attended Tree Commission Academy and could plan activities according to guidelines in their manual. Keifer reminded the board it can also suggest agenda items to staff. Following the discussion, Osborne made a motion to meet monthly on the second Thursday at 6:30 p.m. The motion was defeated by a 4-1 vote. A motion by Asher to hold extra meetings when pertinent was approved by the same vote. Sidney High School students Ben Winks and Brian Lloyd attended the board’s meeting to observe for their government class.

URBANA — The Friends of Cedar Bog Nature Preserve has started a fundraising drive with support from Honda of America Manufacturing Inc. toward the goal to establish a $500,000 endowment fund to support the preserve’s Education Center operations and other initiatives. In this latest partnership with the Cedar Bog, Honda is committing up to $25,000 in matching funds through its philanthropy program. The grant will be allocated to the endowment fund as the Friends of Cedar Bog raises money from individuals and businesses in the community. Honda had previously provided a grant to assist with establishing the Education Center at the bog. During the kickoff event for the matching contribution effort, Ohio state Rep. John Adams paid tribute to the efforts of Honda and the Friends of Cedar Bog to enhance the educational experiences at this unique natural area. “The bog is a wonderful place that is now being supported with this grant from Honda,” Adams said. “The people at Honda are part of the community, because they make themselves a part of the community, and this is very much appreciated.” Currently containing approximately $334,000 from previous donations, the endowment fund’s interest earnings already are supporting Education Center operations, including the recent installation of a camera security system from Champaign County Telephone Sales and Service. “This matching grant from Honda is providing us the opportunity to work with other supporters throughout the region to raise a total of $50,000 for the endowment fund,” said William Heitman, Friends of Cedar Bog treasurer. “We are looking forward to strengthening our partnerships in the community, while also increasing awareness of this unique natural area.” Friends of Cedar Bog Nature Preserve is a nonprofit organization, so donations are tax-deductible. Donations to the campaign can be sent to Friends of Cedar Bog Nature Preserve c/o 430 Scioto St., Urbana, OH 43078. Cedar Bog Nature Preserve is located on approximately 400 acres four miles south of Urbana, at 980 Woodburn Road., about a mile off U.S. 68.

NAMELESS: I have complete faith that spending time with your boyfriend in his apartment would not foster a sexual relationship. But being a parent of a daughter, I can understand why your parents would feel uneasy with the thoughts of you alone with your boyfriend in his apartment. And it’s true that his apartment is not the only place to be sexually active. It’s obvious that your parents did a wonderful job seeing that you avoided the many temptations of being a teen. The time has come for parental trust to come forward. If they trust that you will uphold the high moral standards they expect from their daughter, no matter where she is or whom she is with, spending time with her boyfriend at his apartment should not be an issue. I’m positive you will

My dad requested that I ask your opinion. Jason, West Palm Beach, Fla. JASON: Hitchhiking is out of the question. There are too many undesirable people out there who would like to give you a ride, but you might not wind up at the beach. It matters not how tough you are! Also, when driving, it is wise to not pick up hitchhikers — for the same reason.

YOUR
HOROSCOPE
BY FRANCIS DRAKE What kind of day will tomorrow be? To find out what the stars say, read the forecast given for your birth sign. For Saturday, June 2, 2012 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) This is a good day to address matters regarding shared property, wills, inheritances and insurance matters. Anything that involves how you share wealth or debt with others will be your focus. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) You have to compromise with others today because the Moon is opposite your sign. That’s how it works. In two weeks, everyone will have to cooperate with you when the Moon is in your sign! GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Use today’s energy to get better organized. Tidy up magazines, books and papers, of which you have many! (Tidy surroundings will make your mind feel calmer.) CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Enjoy sports, flirtations, social occasions and playful times with children. Today is a day to put pleasure above work. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Life has been so social lately; you need to rest at home. Choose today to catch your breath and have gentle discussions with family members. This will rejuvenate you. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) People notice you more than usual because the planets are high in your chart now. And today is especially busy! Do your best to keep your cool. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Because you’re intrigued by travel, foreign places, exotic situations and new knowledge, you might want to buy something unusual today. It’s the next best thing to actually visiting someplace, isn’t it? SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Today the Moon is in your sign, which makes you luckier than the other signs. However, it also makes you more emotional. Just be aware of this. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) With such a heavy focus on partnerships and close friendships right now, you need time alone to process information. Slip away somewhere private today, if you can. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Discussions with a female friend might help you get better organized, which is what you really want. Be open to suggestions from others. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) An interesting day! You feel playful and flirtatious. You’re enjoying yourself. Today in particular, bosses, parents, teachers and the police notice you. (Oh my.) PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Even though your focus is on home, family and your domestic scene now, today you feel a need to break free! You want to do something different. (Why not be a tourist in your own city?) YOU BORN TODAY You like puzzles and mental challenges because you’re an excellent problem-solver. In fact, you often help others solve their problems as well. You like activity, stimulation and a challenge. (Your life is never dull.) Your adaptability and resourcefulness make you an asset to any team. You will enjoy your year ahead because you will study or learn something valuable to you. Birthdate of: Carol Shields, author; Christopher Higgins, hockey player, Sally Kellerman, actress.

Shoffner to be Stallings leads with 66, recommended Mickelson withdraws phones as SHS coach Cell may have BY KEN BARHORST kbarhorst@sdnccg.com
Bill Shoffner will be donning his fifth different baseball cap next spring, this time as head coach of the Sidney Yellow Jackets, his alma mater. Shoffner will be recommended to the Board of Education, and Shoffner the hiring is pending board approval. Shoffner, a 1994 Sidney High graduate, was an assistant to head coach Tony Metzler last season. Metzler resigned after three seasons as the head coach. It will be the fifth high school head coaching job for Shoffner, in addition to a three-year stint as the head coach of Sidney Post 217’s American Legion team. Shoffner started out as the head coach at Fairlawn and coached one year there before accepting the head coaching position at Riverside, where he stayed for three seasons. He spent three years as the head coach at Lehman, and most recently, four seasons as the head coach at Russia. His career coaching record is 197 wins and 93 losses, and in his final season with Russia, he took the Raiders to the regional tournament. All those teams are Division IV, so he’s making a big jump to Division I. But he played for the Jackets for four seasons so he knows what’s in store.
“The level of competition will be a lot tougher,” he said. “But at the same time, when I coached at those other schools, I coached against some of the best coaches around, guys like Bill Sturwold (Fort Loramie) and Mike Wiss (Minster). The competition doesn’t bother me. Our goal will be to first win the GWOC North, and I think that is a realistic goal for next season. A lot of teams lost quite a few seniors, and we have just about everyone back and some good kids in the eighth grade. “Going back to where you played, and gave everything you had for your hometown school, it’s really sweet and exciting,” he added. “I kind of climbed the ladder with those other schools to get to this point, and I’m really looking forward to it.” Coaching runs in the family. Shoffner is the son of Wayne Shoffner, who took Lehman to the state tournament during his stint there, and spent a lot of years coaching Legion baseball. He has his staff in place, and is also excited about that. Former Sidney standout Thomas Goffena will be an assistant coach, and Shoffner’s assistant at Russia, Mitch Ciriegio, is also on the staff. “Thomas will be a real added boost to the staff,” said Shoffner. “He brings a lot of knowledge of the game, and comes from a real baseball family.” He said he will have things in place for an offseason workout program, and tops on his list is building pitching depth.
Wapakoneta advances to state championship COLUMBUS — The Wapakoneta Redskins advanced to the championship game of the Division III State Baseball Tournament by edging Millersburg West Holmes 3-2 Thursday in the semifinals at Huntington Park in Columbus. The Redskins are now 25-5 on the year and will take on 19-11 Columbus DeSales in the championship game Saturday at 10 a.m. DeSales beat Mentor Lake Catholic 3-0. The Redskins trailed 1-0 after three innings, but got single runs in the fourth, fifth and sixth innings. That was enough for starter Johnny Crawford, who went the distance on a six-hitter to raise his record on the year to 9-0. He struck out five and didn’t walk anyone. He also doubled in the run in the fifth inning.
Softball In the girls Division IV State Softball Tournament, meanwhile, the Covington Lady Buccs dropped a 5-3 decision to Vienna Mathews Thursday in Akron to finish the season with a 25-5 record. Covington edged Minster in the regional finals last weekend. The Lady Buccs allowed a run in the third and two in the fifth to fall behind 3-0, but got one back in the bottom of the fifth. Vienna Mathews added two insurance runs in the top of the seventh and they would be big, as the Lady Buccs scored twice in the bottom of the seventh. Vienna Mathews is also 255 on the year. Covington pitcher Yingst struck out 10 and didn’t walk a batter.
played role in departure DOUG FERGUSON AP Golf Writer DUBLIN, Ohio (AP) — Erik Compton considers the Memorial a special week no matter how he plays, knowing his second heart transplant came from a donor in Ohio. The opening round was even sweeter with three birdies on the back nine late Thursday afternoon at Muirfield Village for a 5-under 67, leaving him one-shot out of the lead after a day that featured a timely rally by Rory McIlroy and a surprising departure by Phil Mickelson. When the day ended, Scott Stalling was atop the leaderboard with a 66 and hardly anyone noticed. Compton has been an amazing story as long as he has played golf. He had his first heart transplant at 12, played in the Walker Cup after a solid career at Georgia, nearly died from a heart attack on his way home from the golf course in 2007, had a second transplant in May 2008, and earned his PGA Tour card for the first time last year through the Nationwide Tour. “It’s just a great story, obviously, and it’s a great place — for me, it’s a special place,” Compton said. “For me, there’s not a day that goes by that I don’t think about my donor. To be able to play here, regardless of whether I play good or bad, it’s just always a nice week.” It could have been another bad week for McIlroy. Coming off back-to-back missed cuts that cost him his No. 1 ranking and ramped up the scrutiny, McIlroy took a quadruple bogey on his third hole of the tournament when he went from the bunker to the water, back over the pond to the drop area on a forward tee, and then into another bunker. He blasted onto the green and took two putts for a 7, and there were murmurs from the crowd to see him at 4-over par so early. The next 15 holes were much better, and he rallied for a 71. “It wasn’t the start I wanted to get off to, being 4 over through three holes, especially after the last few weeks,” McIlroy said. “I was just like, ‘Here we go again.’ But I hung in there well, and proud of myself for the way I just fought back. To finish the round under par, I thought

PHIL MICKELSON watches his tee shot on the fifth hole during the first round of the Memorial golf tournament Thursday in Dublin, Ohio. Mickelson parred the hole. He withdrew from the tournament after shooting a 79, citing mental fatigue. was a really good effort.” Tiger Woods, playing in the group behind him, chopped up the 18th hole for a double bogey and still managed a 2under 70. “I didn’t do anything great and I didn’t do anything poorly,” Wood said. “I was just very consistent. And I think with the golf course being the way it’s set up, you just have to be that way. ... Over the next three days, hopefully I can play as well as I did today.” Mickelson wasn’t anywhere near those scores, and when his round ended, he was nowhere near the golf course. Mickelson walked out of the scoring hut after signing for a 79 — his worst score ever at the Memorial — and said he was withdrawing because of mental fatigue. He said playing three straight weeks, followed by a trip to Europe for his wife’s 40th birthday, took too much out of him and he needed extra rest with the U.S. Open only two weeks away. Mickelson was among four players who withdrew after a 79 or worse, though none of the others are four-time major
champions who were inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame. “I feel like it’s the responsibility of a player to see through your commitment and finish the tournament and so forth,” Mickelson said. “And I’m kind of overruling that just a touch, because I’m trying to think big picture on what’s the best way for me to get ready for the Open.” The bigger picture might have been the fans in the gallery using their cellphones for photos of Mickelson, Masters champion Bubba Watson and Rickie Fowler. Mickelson has a peculiar way of sending a message, though he danced around a question of whether distractions played a role. He said only he struggled to focus from a busy month. Watson and Fowler painted a different picture. “It took Phil out of his game,” Watson said. Fowler, a little more diplomatic, said the players had to restart their pre-shot routines because of the phone cameras. “You could see Phil was a little fatigued and was having trouble blocking it out a bit,” Fowler said.
Cavs land No. 4 pick in NBA draft CLEVELAND — Nick Gilbert’s luck ran out Wednesday night at the NBA Draft Lottery. The 15-year-old son of Cavs owner Dan Gilbert could not duplicate his 2011 success while representing the organization on stage in New York City, as Cleveland wound up with the fourth selection in the June 28 NBA Draft, one spot lower than it was slated to pick going into the night. “Still feel very good about #4 pick,” Dan Gilbert posted on his Twitter account. “We are getting a great player there and good additions with our other 3 picks. I believe. Taking a philosophical approach, Cavs general man-
ager Chris Grant concurred during a press conference at Quicken Loans Arena. “It’s another critical step in our process,” Grant said. “I feel great about where we are. We’re looking forward to getting a lot of these young guys in here (for workouts) and adding another good young player to our roster.” Ironically, the Cavs won a coin flip with New Orleans after the teams finished with identical 21-45 records, which tied for the third worst in the league. Cleveland had 138 chances in 1,000 of landing the No. 1 pick, third most in the lottery, while the Hornets were fourth with 137. New Orleans, which was
run by the league last season but is now led by Saints owner Tom Benson, ended up winning the lottery, the first time a team with the fourth-best odds emerged with the top pick. The Hornets are expected to take 6foot-10, 220-pound big man Anthony Davis, who led Kentucky to the national championship as a freshman. “Those are things you can’t control,” Grant said of winning the coin flip but having the Hornets win the lottery. Though the Cavs didn’t land the No. 1 pick like they did last year in Kyrie Irving, they still should get at least one good player in what is considered a fairly deep and
talented draft. Cleveland also owns the No. 24 pick in the first round through a trade with the Los Angeles Lakers and the third and fourth picks in the second round, which will be 33 and 34 overall. “That’s a great question,” Grant said when asked how good the draft was. “I don’t know that we know the answer yet. Certainly, some of the players on the high end have got a chance to be pretty good. It’s a pretty deep draft. I’m excited about 24, 33 and 34.” Kentucky’s Davis was considered the consensus No. 1 pick regardless of who won the lottery, with college teammate Michael Kidd-Gilchrist,
a 6-7, 232-pound small forward, regarded as the secondbest player available by many scouts. The next crop of players includes guys like Florida guard Bradley Beal (6-3, 205), Connecticut center Andre Drummond (6-10, 251) and Kansas power forward Thomas Robinson (6-9, 237). Beal is probably the best fit for the Cavs, who are desperate for an athletic shooting guard or small forward who can score. If Beal is off the board at No. 4, Cleveland could go big or turn to a player like North Carolina small forward Harrison Barnes (6-8, 223) or Connecticut shooting guard Jeremy Lamb (6-5, 185).

IN THIS Feb. 9, 1962 file photo, Jack Twyman, right, holds the trophies he and Maurice Stokes received from the Philadelphia Sports Writers Association designating them as the “Most Courageous Athletes” in Stokes’ hospital room in Cincinnati. Twyman, a Basketball Hall of Famer, has died at 78. 113-99 victory. Twyman scored 15,840 points in his career and was inducted to the Basketball Hall of Fame in 1983. At the University of Cincinnati, Twyman led the Bearcats in scoring his sophomore through senior seasons (1952-55), finishing his career as the school’s all-time leading scorer with 1,598 points and 1,242 rebounds. Twyman, who was named an All-American in 1955 after averaging 24.6 points and 16.5 rebounds, is one of three Bearcats to have their jerseys retired. “The Bearcat family lost one of our legends yesterday with the passing of Jack Twyman,” athletics director Whit
Babcock said in a statement. “He was a true gentleman, a great man who loved UC.” UC head coach Mick Cronin said Twyman was the first former player to greet him when he returned to Cincinnati six years ago and he appreciated his wisdom and kindness. “He was a first-class man and obviously, one of the greatest to ever put on the Bearcats jersey,” Cronin said. Geoff Petrie, president of basketball operations for the Sacramento Kings — the team that traces its roots back to the Royals — said Twyman “was one of the standard-bearers for the Royals during some of their exciting years in Cincinnati.”
“Jack will be missed but remembered by many for his contributions to the game and life,” Petrie said in a statement. Twyman also left his mark on the NBA for the way he helped Stokes, who was a budding star in 1958. During the last game of that season, Stokes hit his head on the floor during a game. He later had a seizure, slipped into a coma and was left paralyzed. In addition to becoming Stokes’ guardian, Twyman organized an exhibition game with NBA players to raise money for Stokes, who died in 1970. That game became an annual tradition to raise money for needy former players.

CINCINNATI (AP) — Hall of Basketball Famer Jack Twyman, one of the NBA’s top scorers in the 1950s who became the guardian to a paralyzed teammate, has died. He was 78. Twyman died Wednesday at a Cincinnati hospice of complications from an aggressive form of blood cancer, his son, Jay Twyman said Thursday. “He died peacefully with family members at his side,” said Twyman, of Rye, N.Y. Jack Twyman played for the University of Cincinnati and spent 11 seasons in the NBA with Rochester and the Cincinnati Royals. He averaged a careerhigh 31.2 points per game in the 1959-60 season, playing in six AllStar games. In 1958, after teammate Maurice Stokes was left paralyzed after a head injury suffered during a game, Twyman became his guardian to help Stokes receive medical benefits. Twyman later worked as a television analyst on NBA games. His most famous work as an announcer came in Game 7 of the 1970 NBA finals between the New York Knicks and the Los Angeles Lakers, when he stopped himself midsentence during the pregame to announce that he saw injured New York center Willis Reed coming through the player tunnel. It had not been known whether Reed would be able to play because of an injured thigh muscle, but he went on to lead New York to a
