Former Shelby County Sheriff Dean Kimpel escaped prison time Friday when Judge Robert Lindeman sentenced him to two years probation on a felony charge involving unauthorized use of a computer or telecommunications device. Also Friday, a charge of sexual battery against him in Auglaize County was dismissed.

Certain restrictions requested by the prosecution were not imposed by Lindeman, which may allow Kimpel to eventually return to law enforcement and for the record of his case to be expunged.

While the prosecutors were “shocked” over the outcome, Kimpel was obviously pleased he did not get jail time and smiled broadly when the judge handed down the sentence.

Disposition of both cases against Kimpel brings to a close a long, drawn-out saga that saw him removed from office and replaced by John Lenhart as interim sheriff.

Nearly two years ago, former Sheriff’s Deputy Jodi Van Fossen accused Kimpel See KIMPEL/Page 9A

Students teach energy efficiency Lehman Catholic High School students recently taught other students how to be energy efficient. Now in its fifth year, the school’s association with the Ohio Energy Project has had positive benefits for the students involved, the school, and students in the surrounding area, Lehman officials said.

The Ohio Energy Project (OEP) helps to prepare high school students to become energy leaders through a unique program that utilizes a philosophy of “kids teaching kids.”

Trained high school student leaders teach students in grades 3 through 8 using a multidisciplinary approach.

Activities include riding an energy bike, exploring various alternative energy sources, making sense of sound and heat and light, and learning how to conserve energy by making a home more energy efficient. In small groups, students are led through a variety of hands-on games to explain various energy concepts.

Lehman Catholic invited students from Holy Angels and Piqua Catholic schools to attend an Energy Fair at Lehman earlier this year. Another fair was held for students from Holy Rosary School (St. Marys), Immaculate Conception (Celina), St Mary (Greenville) and St. Patrick (Troy).

Earlier, Lehman Catholic student leaders joined with student leaders from Fairmont, Oak-

wood Eaton and ClintonMassie for an Energy Fair at held at the University of Dayton Arena.

Hundreds of students from several schools attended the Dayton Energy Fair. Over the course of the past five years, Lehman Catholic has hosted or participated in a number of Energy Fairs for public and nonpublic school students.

“The purpose of OEP is to empower students to take part in energy conservation,” said Tracy Hall, Lehman science teacher and adviser of Lehman’s OEP team.

“Both the high school students and the ones they teach benefit from this knowledge. After all, they are the ones who are going to make a difference in the use of our planet’s resources in the future.”

“Our students showed tremendous leadership when teaching these young people,” said Tracy Hall, Lehman science teacher and adviser of Lehman’s OEP team.

“Hopefully, these students will go home and teach their parents what they have learned about energy conservation and they can help reduce energy costs for their families.”

Equipment and materials for Lehman Catholic’s Ohio Energy Project have been provided by the Dayton Power and Light Co. and Vectren Corp. Information concerning the program can be obtained by contacting Hall at t.hall@lehmancatholic.co m.

Julie M. North Julie M. North, 42, of 136 N. Main St., Covington, passed away Sunday, June 3, 2012, at her residence.

She was born Aug. 28, 1969, in Troy, the daughter of the late Cleo R. North and Shirley (Kessler) North who survive and with whom Julie shared her home in Covington.

Also surviving are two sons, Ricky Berryhill, of Sidney and Jason North, of South Webster; three daughters, Danielle Berryhill, of Sidney, Ashley Berryhill, of Marion,and Cassie Harris, of Piqua; six grandchildren; two brothers, Leo North and Cleo North, both of Piqua; and one sister, Linda Francis, of Bradford. She was preceded in death by one

sister, Donna.

Julie enjoyed fishing with her special friend, John Harris, and specially enjoyed spending time with her grandchildren who will miss her dearly.

Julie attended the Newhorizon Church of God in Troy.

Funeral services will be conducted Wednesday at 1:30 p.m. from the Cromes Funeral Home Inc., 302 S. Main Ave., by Pastor Joe Hill.

He has been counting the till six times a week for nearly a year and he’s encouraged so far.

Since Broken Chains Ministry opened the cafe in the Metro RTA Robert K. Pfaff Transit Center on July 1, only two minor thefts have been discovered.

The cafe is dedicated to providing work experience to some of the least employable people in society, hiring mostly former drug users. Not all of them are convicts, but Wiseman says they all had some kind of problem before being hired by the prison ministry.

Drugs were Joy’s problem. She’s a 52-yearold employee who doesn’t want her last name used. Her job is to run the till and act as the supervisor after Wiseman goes home in the afternoon until the cafe closes at 8 p.m.

“They pay me $9.25 (per hour). I think that’s very generous,” she said.

The goal is for Joy to get enough experience and a proven record of being trustworthy so she can get a regular foodservice job in the community. That’s no small task. Many companies throw away an application that indicates a job candidate has a felony record.

Limited Brands founder leaving Ohio State post COLUMBUS (AP) — Ohio State University has announced that Limited Brands founder and longtime university supporter Leslie Wexner is stepping down from the board of trustees.

Wexner, a 1959 Ohio State graduate, has donated more than $200 million to the university and helped raise hundreds of millions more.

The university in February named its medical center for the billionaire Wexner a year after he donated $100 million to

the center, one of the largest such gifts to a public university.

The 74-year-old Wexner served a total of 18 years as trustee, five as chairman.

Ohio Gov. John Kasich appointed former trustee Alex Shumate to serve the remainder of Wexner’s term, which ends in 2020. approve Trustees major spending and with the input of the university president shape Ohio State’s programs and policies.

New railroad signs posted at scene of crash BRUNSWICK (AP) — New caution signs have been posted near a railroad crossing in northeast Ohio where a car crash killed four teenagers.

WEWS-TV in Cleveland reports (http://bit.ly/K6NTeB ) that engineers from nearby counties made the decision to put up the high-visibility crossing signs to alert drivers to the rough railroad crossing.

Columbia Station Trustee Mike Musto says the engineers also lowered the recommended speed limit to 25 mph from 55 mph.

A car carrying the teenagers went airborne, crashed and flipped onto its roof at a railroad crossing early Sunday.

Two of the deceased had been scheduled to graduate from Brunswick High School later that day.

One 17-year-old girl who survived the crash was released from the hospital earlier this week.

Funerals for the students who died were scheduled Friday and Saturday. ___ Information from: W E W S - T V , http://www.newsnet5.com

NATION/WORLD BRIEFLY

Obama backtracks WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama made Mitt Romney’s day by declaring “the private sector is doing fine” and opening himself to the accusation that he — not the rich Republican — is the one who is out of touch with reality.

Obama quickly clarified his remark Friday but Republicans already had their teeth in it and weren’t letting go.

“Is he really that out of touch?” GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney asked as Obama’s initial comments ricocheted through the presidential campaign.

Seeking to head off any damage, Obama backpedaled and declared it is “absolutely clear that the economy is not doing fine.”

While there had been some “good momentum” in the private sector, Obama said, public sector growth lagged behind, making it imperative that Congress act on his proposals to hire more teachers and first-responders.

Mob attacks march CAIRO (AP) — A mob of hundreds of men assaulted women holding a march demanding an end to sexual harassment Friday, with the attackers overwhelming the male guardians and groping and molesting several of the female marchers in Cairo’s Tahrir Square.

From the ferocity of the assault, some of the victims said it appeared to have been an organized attempt to drive women out of demonstrations and trample on the pro-democracy protest movement.

The attack follows smaller scale assaults on women this week in Tahrir, the epicenter of the uprising that forced Hosni Mubarak to step down last year.

Thousands have been gathering in the square this week in protests over a variety of issues — mainly over worries that presidential elections this month will secure the continued rule by elements of Mubarak’s regime backed by the ruling military.

Earlier in the week, an Associated Press reporter witnessed around 200 men assault a woman who eventually fainted before men trying to help could reach her.

OUT OF THE BLUE

New for 2012: Girlfriendin-a-bag PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Police say a 50-year-old Oregon woman is in trouble because of her relationship baggage — but it’s not the emotional kind.

Kola J. McGrath was arrested Monday for trespassing after workers at her boyfriend’s downtown Portland apartment complex discovered the man was sneaking her into the building by hiding her in a large rolling suitcase. She was banned from the building last year for breaking a fire extinguisher case during an argument.

The Oregonian reports ( ) McGrath is 5 feet, 6 inches tall and weighs 96 pounds.

Police were notified when a caller reported a man had kidnapped a woman, placed her in a pink suitcase and taken her to the apartment building.

Officers then searched 52-year-old Curtis T. Lowe’s apartment and found McGrath hiding in a closet.

Powerful storms leave trail of damage through western states

BY BEN NEARY Associated Press CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) — A rare, quarter-mile-wide tornado cut a swath across mainly open country in southeastern Wyoming, ripping off roofs and shingles, destroying outbuildings and derailing empty train cars.

The twister, which carried winds of up to 135 mph, was part of a powerful storm system that rolled through parts of Colorado and Wyoming on Thursday, packing heavy rains, high winds and hail.

The storms followed a round of nasty late spring weather that pummeled the region.

The tornado passed through a sparsely populated area near Wheatland, a small city about 70 miles north of Cheyenne. It left eight structures heavily damaged and caused lesser damage three structures, said Kelly Ruiz of the state’s Office of Homeland Security.

Some power lines also were downed. Only one person suffered minor injuries.

Kim Eike said the tornado went right over her house, which was still standing, though battered.

“We lost a camper, it blew out the windows in our house, blew off the shingles clear down to the plywood, but we didn’t lose the roof,” Eike, whose property is about 8 miles south of Wheatland, said Friday.

AL LOVE talks on the phone while standing in what remains of his kitchen on Friday in Wheatland, Wyo., after a rare, quartermile-wide tornado cut a swath across mainly open country in southeastern Wyoming, ripping off roofs and shingles, destroying outbuildings and derailing empty train cars.

Eike was watching the twister with co-workers at First State Bank in Wheatland when one pointed out it was near Eike’s house. She said the pig barn and door from the main barn also were lost.

No one was home at the time, she said, noting that a couple in another house in the area rode out the storm in their basement.

Don Farrier, a Wheatland restaurateur, said his house about 6.5 miles from Wheatland was damaged and will need a new roof. He said he lost some trees, and a shed on his property was knocked

down.

Farrier was at his restaurant when he saw the tornado and decided to drive toward his home.

“I stopped and watched it for a while,” he said. “It sure wasn’t moving very fast, but you could tell it was a big tornado for this part of the country.”

National Weather Service meteorologist Richard Emanuel said the tornado was a quarter-mile wide and stayed on the ground for much of its 20-mile path from west of Wheatland to northeast of Chugwater. The area is about 60 miles north of Cheyenne.

UN team sees massacre site

BY ZEINA KARAM Associated Press BEIRUT (AP) — U.N. observers could smell the stench of burned corpses Friday and saw body parts scattered around a Syrian farming hamlet that was the site of a massacre this week in which nearly 80 men, women and children were reported slain.

The scene held evidence of a “horrific crime,” a U.N. spokeswoman said.

The observers were finally able to get inside the deserted village of Mazraat al-Qubair after being blocked by government troops and residents, and coming under small arms fire Thursday, a day after the slayings were first reported.

In central Damascus, rebels brazenly battled government security forces in the heart of the capital Friday for the first time, witnesses said, and explosions echoed for hours. Government artillery repeatedly pounded the central city of Homs and troops tried to storm it from three sides.

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton met with international envoy Kofi Annan in Washington to discuss how to salvage his faltering plan to end 15 months of bloodshed in Syria. Western nations blame President Bashar Assad for the violent

crackdown on anti-government protests that grew out of the Arab Spring.

The U.N. team was the first independent group to arrive in Mazraat al-Qubair, a village of about 160 people in central Hama province. Opposition activists and Syrian government officials blamed each other for the killings and differed about the number of dead.

Activists said that up to 78 people, including women and children, were shot, hacked and burned to death, saying pro-government militiamen known as “shabiha” were responsible. A government statement on the state-run news agency SANA said “an armed terrorist group” killed nine women and children before Hama authorities were called and killed the attackers.

Sausan Ghosheh, spokeswoman for the U.N. observers, said residents’ accounts of the mass killing were “conflicting,” and that they needed to cross check the names of the missing and dead with those supplied by nearby villagers.

Mazraat al-Qubair itself was “empty of the local inhabitants,” she said.

“You can smell the burnt smell of the dead bodies,” Ghosheh said. “You could also see body parts in and around the village.”

The U.N. supervision mission released a statement

later Friday saying that armored vehicle tracks were visible in the area and some homes had been damaged by rockets and grenades. Inside some of the houses, blood was visible across the walls and the floors, the statement said.

Ghosheh said she saw two homes damaged by shells and bullets. She spoke of burned bodies found in a house, but did not elaborate and was not clear whether the U.N. team saw them.

She told the BBC: “We can say that there was definitely a horrific crime that was committed. The scale is still not clear to me.”

A BBC correspondent traveling with the U.N. observers described the hamlet as an “appalling scene” of burnedout houses and gore.

“There are pieces of human flesh lying around the room, there is a big pile of congealed blood in the corner, there’s a tablecloth that still has the pieces of someone’s brain attached to the side of it,” said the correspondent, Paul Danahar.

“They killed the people, they killed the livestock, they left nothing in the village alive,” he added.

The U.N. observers also visited a cemetery where some of the dead were buried, according to an activist in Mazraat al-Qubair.

NATO apologizes for civilian deaths in Afghan airstrike

BY DEB RIECHMANN Associated Press PATROL BASE PUL-IALAM, Afghanistan (AP) — The commander of US and NATO troops in Afghanistan apologized Friday for civilian deaths in a coalition airstrike earlier this week — the first confirmation by NATO forces that civilians were killed in the operation.

Marine Gen. John Allen flew to Logar province to personally deliver his regrets to villagers and provincial officials for the deaths of women, children and village elders in Wednesday’s pre-dawn raid to capture a Taliban operative.

Afghan officials have said the airstrike called in by NATO

troops killed 18 civilians.

“I know that no apology can bring back the lives of the children or the people who perished in this tragedy and this accident, but I want you to know that you have my apology and we will do the right thing by the families,” Allen told the group of about two dozen Afghans gathered at a base at the provincial capital of Pul-i-Alam.

Nighttime raids on militants taking cover in villages have been a repeated source of strain between the Afghan government, which says the raids put civilians in the crossfire, and its international allies, who say such operations are key to rooting out insurgent leaders.

A deal signed in April was supposed to resolve the issue by

putting the Afghan government in charge of such operations, and the troops involved in Wednesday’s raid included Afghan soldiers. But Afghan President Hamid Karzai has put the blame for this week’s deaths squarely on the international coalition, condemning their actions and calling for them to give a fuller account of how small children were among the dead.

NATO and Afghan officials have said the troops were on an operation to capture a Taliban leader who had holed up in the house in Baraki Barak district’s Sajawand village. As they tried to breach the compound, they came under fire and fought back, eventually calling in an airstrike.

Hail the size of golf balls also was reported in the Wheatland area, and 2-inch hail was reported in Laramie, the National Weather Service said.

The tornado knocked over five empty cars on a Burlington Northern Santa Fe (NYSE:BNI) train near parked Wheatland, railroad spokesman Gus Melonas said.

Preliminary reports show Colorado was hit by 10 tornadoes during the past two days.

The storms came at the peak time for such severe weather in the state. Severe thunderstorms normally become less common later in the month and in early July until summer monsoons start developing.

At least seven homes were damaged in Elbert County on the plains southeast of Denver. County officials said two homes lost roofs and others had broken windows but the total damage was still being assessed.

Laura Van Why said she and her husband Dennis, their 2-year-old son and two dogs hid under the stairs of their basement while the storm passed near Kiowa, Colo..

“It felt like forever,” Van Why said. “It was like black out the windows.”

Forecaster Jerry Claycomb with the National Weather Service in Cheyenne, said the same factors created the storms in both states.

Aide could face charge in Edwards sex tape case

BY MICHAEL BIESECKER Associated Press RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — A prosecutor will decide whether an ex-aide to John Edwards will face contempt charges related to a court fight over a video purported to show the ex-presidential candidate having sex with his then-mistress.

North Carolina Superior Court Judge Michael R. Morgan appointed the prosecutor Friday to consider criminal charges against Andrew Young, his wife and two of their lawyers.

A judge previously found probable cause for contempt charges arising from a lawsuit filed against the Youngs by Rielle Hunter, who was Edwards’ mistress as he sought the White House in 2008. The state court ordered sensitive documents in the lawsuit to be kept under seal, including a lengthy deposition given by Edwards.

Young and his lawyers have admitted providing those documents to federal prosecutors investigating Edwards prior to his 2011 indictment, but said they did so only after receiving a subpoena signed by a U.S. District Court judge. Attorneys for the Youngs said they were asked by prosecutors to keep the subpoena a secret from Hunter and her lawyers.

Young was the star witness at Edwards’ campaign corruption trial. Edwards was acquitted on one count and the jury deadlocked on five others.

The civil case was settled earlier this year with a state court order that required copies of the sex tape to be destroyed, though federal prosecutors may still have a copy.

But a hearing on the contempt of court issue against the Youngs was delayed until the federal case against Edwards was resolved.

Morgan’s order appoints District Attorney Jim Woodall to review the case. Woodall is the lead prosecutor for a twocounty district that includes Chapel Hill, where both the Youngs and Edwards live.

Big Sisters pairing becomes trio When Kenya Herron, 7, joined the Big Brothers Big Sisters of Shelby & Darke County program, she was looking to be matched with a “big sister.”

What she received instead were two big sisters. Herron was matched with Terri Hughes, of Sidney, in January 2010. However, when Hughes decided to become a “big sister,” her daughter, Kennedy, 9, was ecstatic to be part of the match.

Herron is the daughter of Melissa Henry, of Sidney.

The three have formed a lasting relationship, one that everyone is enjoying. Kennedy is not only learning to share her mother’s time with another child, she is learning about giving back to the community and making an impact on the life of another.

DAR group attends state conference

YMCA board reports meeting Allocations to the Sidney-Shelby County YMCA by the United Way have increased from $85,000 to $87,000.

So learned the YMCA Board of Trustees during its meeting May 24.

In additional business, it was announced that the YMCA Applefest run will be expanded to include 5K,

10K and fun run/walks on Sept. 8.

The following dates were reviewed: Golf for Kids is scheduled for June 19 at Shelby Oaks.

Fairlawn students raise $10,000 for cancer research The Fairlawn High School FCCLA narrowly exceeded its goal with its recent walk-a-thon to raise money for childhood cancer research; therefore, three students got to shave the heads of their favorite teachers during a school assembly.

The goal was $10,000.

The event raised $10,026. Cancer research was the selected recipient of the funds because those three Fairlawn students suffer from the disease.

Before the walk, the FCCLA sold shirts, tattoos and bracelets.

During the event, FCCLA members Katie Nuss and Jessica Wright read a poem about childhood cancer and then invited all of the survivors to walk for a celebration song while the student body cheered them on.

“The purpose was to improve our products, processes, and to make us more consistent,” Chief Technology Officer Tom Gustafson said.

ISO is the only internationally recognized organization of standards.

“With our growth of international sales, having the ISO 9001:2008 certification will be a big benefit,” Gustafson said.

Although being ISO 9001:2008 certified will attract some customers, the main purpose behind Hartzell’s actions

Sidney Daily News, Saturday, June 9, 2012

KIMPEL of sexually assaulting her at her home in Wapakoneta, and he was indicted last September on one count of sexual battery. He was also charged in Shelby County with five counts of unauthorized use of the Ohio Law Enforcement Gateway (OHLEG) computer system, later amended to one count of unauthorized use of a computer or a telecommunications device.

Kimpel was suspended from office following his indictment in Auglaize County after Miami County Prosecutor Gary Nasal, special prosecutor in the case, requested his removal from office by the Ohio Supreme Court.

It was the first time in Ohio that the law was used to suspend a sheriff.

Although Kimpel made no comment in Shelby County Common Pleas Court, he spoke angrily following a hearing in Auglaize County. When asked what he would like to say to Shelby County residents about the events of the past two years. Kimpel replied, “I gave 40 years of my life to Shelby County.” He declined to answer other questions and drove away in his truck.

Following sentencing in Shelby County, Kimpel’s attorney, Michael Rumer, of Lima, spoke with the media.”There was no violation of public trust,” he said. He told reporters the judge had imposed “the appropriate sentence” and said the use of law enforcement computers “has been criminalized.”

“The man has been 41 years in some form of law enforcement,” he said of Kimpel. “You don’t just wipe that out.”

He added, “My client is doing fine.”

Rumer said the Ohio Attorney General’s Office “never had any … regulations” regarding the OHLEG computer system. It’s like going on Facebook … it’s just a matter of punching in from any computer site.”

In fact, Rumer alleges that 85 percent of law enforcement in Ohio uses the system for personal reasons.

During the sentencing in Shelby County Common Pleas Court Friday, Lindeman, of Miami County, did not address Kimpel’s offense. Rumer reviewed Kimpel’s military service and law enforcement history, including service with the Sidney Police Department, Lima Tank Plant and Shelby County Sheriff’s Office. “He has garnered accolades,” Rumer said. “The strongest punishment he can receive is resigning (as sheriff).”

Rumer said that a presentence investigation indicated Kimpel doesn’t believe he did anything wrong. “I want to ask the court to consider no imprisonment,” Rumer said, asking the judge instead

MIAMI COUNTY Common Pleas Court Judge Robert Lindeman sentenced former Sheriff Dean Kimpel in Shelby County Common Pleas Court Friday afternoon. Lindeman was appointed judge in the Kimpel case. for community control sanctions (probation) and “no local jail time.”

“Dean has learned his lesson. There will be no repetition by Dean Kimpel” involving crime, Rumer said. He also noted that Kimpel’s wife has been diagnosed with cancer, and he is looking for a job.

“I have stressed to Dean this is unacceptable conduct,” Rumer said in to Kimpel’s regard wrongdoing.

Kimpel chose not to comment.

Lindeman said he had reviewed the pre-sentence investigation and had considered all factors in passing sentence. He then told Kimpel he was sentencing him to two years community control sanctions, and he will not be able to pursue a law enforcement position until after the probation is completed. He also ordered Kimpel to pay a $1,000 fine and court costs within 12 months.

Kimpel was told that if he violates the probation, he faces nine months in prison.

Kimpel was also ordered to have no contact with Van Fossen, who had accused him of sexual assault.

Miami County Prosecutor Gary Nasal and Assistant Prosecutor Tony Kendell, special prosecutors in the case, had recommended Kimpel be forced to resign from law enforcement for life and be unable to have a Concealed Carry Weapon (CCW) permit. However, Lindeman did not impose those sanctions, allowing him to possibly return to law enforcement in the future and allowing him to maintain a CCW. Lindeman was not available Friday afternoon to comment on the sentencing.

In Auglaize County, a hearing followed the Shelby County’s sentencing, and the sexual battery charge against Kimpel was dismissed, and bond was released.

Retired Judge Sumner Walters, a visiting judge from Van Wert County, granted the dismissal.

Nasal said he recommended dismissal of the case because Van Fossen “felt the psychological

In Fiscal Year 2011, the division paid 46,222 claims worth more than $60.9 million. The average claim was for $1,318.

trauma that would be experienced by her and her family outweighed the value of her going to trial and the likelihood of success.”

Nasal told the Sidney Daily News that Kimpel’s felony conviction can be expunged, calling it a “sealing of (the) record,” in three years. Kimpel can apply to Shelby County Common Pleas Court for the expungement. Nasal noted, however, “it can be unsealed by any law enforcement agency” if he applies for work.

Nasal said he was “stunned” over the outcome of Friday’s sentencing. “I was shocked and disappointed. It was my expectation that he would receive some period of incarceration. I did not think he would be sent to prison because the judge’s hands were tied because of the new sentencing law. But I did think he would get an intermittent local sentence,” Nasal said. “I’m stunned and shocked.”

Nasal noted “this case is all about public trust and the violation thereof.

If it were not about the violation of public trust, he would still be in public office today. His conviction (and) subsequent forfeiture of his office is all about public trust.”

Nasal commented further that “this has been an extremely traumatic process for the entire community, but more particularly for the good men and women of law enforcement. I think that after what they have endured, they were somewhat shocked and disappointed by the final outcome, and I sympathize with their disappointment.”

Shelby County Prosecutor Ralph Bauer was unable to be reached for comment Friday concerning the county’s possible intentions to recoup money from Kimpel, including salary he received while suspended from office.

Kimpel submitted a formal letter of resignation Friday to the Shelby County Board of Elections, the Shelby County Commissioners and County Republican Party Chairman Chris Gibbs.

SPLASH tive and improve strength, flexibility and stamina,” said Casalano.

“The Y encourages all kids and adults to learn how to swim. It’s never too late. Basic swimming skills and water safety practices save lives every day.”

Several community organizations partnered to provide the week of water-safety lessons, free to its participants. Major sponsor was the Sidney Daily News, with support from Minster Bank, Ruese Insurance and Westfield Insurance.This marked the 26th year of the program.

“The Sidney Daily News is pleased to be a part of this program,” said Jeff Billiel, publisher of the newspaper. “We have been a major sponsor since Splash started and feel the classes do much to help keep local youngsters safer around water. Over the years virtually thousands of kids have benefited from the program and we hope to continue our support in the future.”

Casalano noted that “Because of the passion and caring of our sponsors, we were able to offer lessons to more than 480 participants in conjunction with more than 35 volunteers and 25 staff members. The enthusiasm and dedication of all who were involved definitely made this year memorable, and it is most gratifying to see such a strong community-wide commitment to safety and the welfare of children in our area.”

This year’s theme, “Pool Pirates,” was a big hit with participants, he noted. Throughout the week, water safety skills were combined with

From Page 1 songs and various activities that also emphasized character development through the Y’s core values of caring, honesty, responsibility, and respect.

Day One of the fourday program emphasized pool safety in order to prepare swimmers at all levels to be in and near the water during the week. Participants were grouped based on skill level and then were taught basic swimming strokes. Many new swimmers have a natural fear of the water, so preparing them to enter the pool was the top priority for instructors.

Classes ended the first day with guards showing examples of what not to do in the pool. Swimmers applied what they had learned to correct the guards. Respect was the day’s core value and the pool pirates took home respectful sails to color and return the next day.

The sails were then used to build a huge sail on a pirate ship displayed on the pool deck for all participants to enjoy.

During Day Two, swimmers learned about boat and beach safety and were fitted with life vests in order to practice how to be safe while on a boat. The value of the day was responsibility and the pirate participants were led on a responsibility treasure hunt. Afterward, they took home personal treasure maps to complete, showing ways they are responsible at home.

Day Three emphasized caring and a “caring coin” was taken home to color. Participants were to discuss ways they can show caring to those around them.

Swimmers were taught

how to handle various emergency water situations. Pool Pirates saw examples of basic CPR and water rescue and also learned about waterpark safety. By Day Three, instructors noted that the children who had been apprehensive at the beginning of the week were beginning to show confidence in the pool.

On Day Four, honesty was emphasized. Participants enjoyed a rescue demonstration acted out by the instructors. Swimmers culminated the day with games, and music was played during the last 10 minutes of the various sessions.

In addition to the character and safety lessons, different stroke techniques were demonstrated and practiced daily. The program concluded with the awarding of certificates, as the Pool Pirates were congratulated by the staff and volunteers, and they “walked the plank” in celebration of the week.

Casalano noted that children learn best while having fun, and it was apparent all week that the Splash participants did just that.

“The Sidney Y has been a leader in providing swim lessons and water safety programs to Shelby County residents for more than 45 years,” he said. “This commitment drives the Y’s dedication to helping children experience the joy and benefits of swimming, while gaining valuable water-safety knowledge that can be life-saving.

Our annual Splash program is one way we can strengthen our community by providing lessons that will last a lifetime.”

Mayor proposes domestic partner registry COLUMBUS (AP) — The mayor of Columbus and several city councilmembers want to create a domestic partner registry for Ohio’s capital city.

Columbus Mayor Michael Coleman announced the proposal on Friday along with city councilmen Andrew Ginther and Zach Klein.

Their plan would allow unmarried couples regardless of sexual orientation to voluntarily register their relationship with the city clerk’s office for a fee.

The couples would not have to be residents of Columbus.

The registry gives people in domestic partnerships a way of officially declaring their relationships as proof for health insurance and other benefits typically reserved for married couples.

Columbus offers domestic partner benefits to its city employees.

The councilmen supporting the registry hope to pass an ordinance creating it before the council’s August recess.

DR. WALLACE: Before long, summer vacation will be here and that means spending time at the beach. I’m worried because I’ve added about seven pounds since last summer.

I cannot comfortably get into my swimsuit, and I’d like to lose these extra pounds as quickly as possible. My aunt suggested that I fast one day a week (only water or other liquids) and that I’ll lose those pounds before summer arrives.

It sounds like a good idea to me, but my mom says that my aunt doesn’t know what she is talking about. Who is right? — LaToya, Vero Beach, Fla. LA TOYA: It took quite a few months to add those seven extra

pounds, so don’t think they will evaporate in a short time. The only safe way to lose weight is by eating properly (good food plus counting calories), getting proper exercise, and getting plenty of sleep. No more than one pound per week should melt away.

Fasting is not meant to be a way to lose weight.

Also, a teen’s body is constantly going through change and fasting can the maturing alter process.

Father’s Day: a well-established tradition

Even though Father’s Day is a more recent innovation, it is now celebrated with as much pride and love as Mother’s Day. Of course, there’s nothing really surprising about the significance of this celebration in today’s society, as fathers are playing an increasingly important role within the family in every imaginable way.

The idea of celebrating fatherhood originated in the United States at the beginning of the twentieth century, before President Calvin Coolidge supported the idea of a national Father’s Day in 1924.

Then, in 1966, President Lyndon Johnson signed a presidential proclamation declaring the third Sunday of June as Father’s Day.

ting. In Germany some regions celebrate Männertag (men’s day) or Herrentag (gentlemen’s day), during which men leave on a hiking tour, pulling small wagons filled with alcohol and food in order to make merry.

However Father’s Day is celebrated, the principal remains the same: it is a time to thank all dads for the love they show their families.

Fathers are now honoured on every continent around the world, but the date of the celebrations can differ from one place to another. Some countries, such as Italy, Portugal, and Spain, celebrate the event on March 19, which is also when the Catholic church celebrates St-Joseph’s feast day.

The type of festivities also varies from country to country. Here in North America it is celebrated like a birthday, with Dad often being given little treats by Mum and the children in a private, family set-

Dad, thanks for being there!

Father’s Day will soon be here, and there’s no doubt in anyone’s mind that this is an occasion well worth celebrating. But how can we spoil the man of the household on his very own special day? Here are a few ideas.

Today’s fathers certainly deserve to be celebrated. The days are long gone when they left home in the morning to go to work,

to be served an already prepared meal and to sit comfortably in their armchairs while mums looked after children and dishes. The involvement of fathers in family life and daily chores has become the norm, and they take their new role very seriously!

Father’s Day is th the daily devotio e occasion to thank dads for n they show to their families.

One way of getting Dad’s special day off to a good start is for all the family to make him a mouth-watering breakfast. Of course there’s no need to make anything elaborate, the goal is simply to demonstrate that you’re thinking of him.

Spending a fortune on gifts isn’t necessary either. There’s nothing more heartwarming for a parent than to see the children getting involved in the celebration. So a handmade card, craft, or a small, meaningful gift will always be appreciated.

make ats are sure to Small, loving tre happy.

Dad

What’s especially important is to spend some quality time together as a family, participating in various activities that everyone will enjoy. A good meal in the evening, with Dad’s favourite foods on the menu, is a great way to end the day.

After all, sharing happiness is what will make this day a success!

DEAR DR. PHIL: I have been taking atenolol for about five years because I had attacks of paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia, and my blood pressure is a little high. If I work out on my LifeCycle within 12 hours of taking the pill, I can reach only a difficulty level of six, and I can get my heart rate only to 120.

If 26 hours have passed since taking my pill, I can reach a difficulty level of eight and get my heart rate up to 150.

Does a workout done within 12 hours of taking the pill do any good for me? — M.P. ANSWER: I’m Paul, not Phil.

Atenolol (Tenormin) is

a beta blocker. Among the many effects of beta blockers is slowing of the heart, especially the exercising heart, and lowering blood pressure. As long as atenolol is in your blood and circulating, you won’t be able to get your heart beating to your training level. You still benefit from the exercise.

You’re doing the same amount of work. You can’t use heartbeat to gauge the intensity of exercise.

You can judge how hard you’re exercising while on a beta blocker by using perceived exertion, an estimate you make about your exercise’s intensity based on how you feel. If exercise feels “somewhat hard” to you, your corresponding heart rate off the pill would be 120 to 130. If you feel the exercise is “hard,” the corresponding heart rate off the pill is 140 to 150. If you find the exercise “very hard,” then the corresponding heart rate is 160 or greater.

Gallagher says the shortage of nursing help has developed during the past few weeks when nurses and aides with children are forced to take a leave of absence while their children are home for summer vacation. Others are helping with farm work.

June 9, 1987 Drug searches conducted last weeks at Middle Bridgeview School and Sidney High School were a “success” according to a report given at Monday night’s Sidney City Board of Education meeting. The entire operation was successful according to David McKay, director of personnel. The searches, conducted as “a preventive device,” took about an hour at each building.

“The greatest thing that came out of it,” said Superintendent Eugene Emter, “was that nothing was found.”

REPLAY 50 years ago June 9, 1962 Super Shell won its opener in the C League Friday evening at Custenborder Field by edging out Optimist Club 5-4, coming from behind to do it on Sherman’s three-hitter. The losers started with a rush, Allen and Cotterman both getting walks and scoring on Danny New’s double, but Sherman put out the fire at that point. Jim Lawson gave up two hits, two runs and four walks while Bill Faulkner allowed one hit, three runs and seven walks, while fanning four.

25 years ago June 9, 1987 The second annual Seniors Mixed Doubles bowling tournament was held recently at Bel-Mar Lanes and the team of Arlene Snavley and Kenny Wilt wound up on top with 1,367.

IN THE NEWS WASHINGTON (AP) — While it’s an open question whether jurors think Roger Clemens used performanceenhancing substances, they now know one thing for certain: His wife sure did.

She said it happened on a whim, inspired by a newspaper article with the headline: “Boomers believe they’ve found a fountain of youth in a syringe.” She said it happened in her posh master bathroom, which she described as being “like the size of a kitchen.” She said she pulled up her shirt so that Brian McNamee could pinch her skin and inject her in the belly. She said no one else was there. She said she didn’t even tell her husband it was happening.

Squeeze bunt sends Reds over Tigers 6-5 in 10

BY JOE KAY Associated Press CINCINNATI (AP) — Wilson Valdez’s squeeze bunt with one out in the 10th inning scored Miguel Cairo and sent the Cincinnati Reds to a 6-5 victory over the Detroit Tigers on Friday night.

Cairo started the rally against left-hander Phil Coke (1-2) with his first triple of the season, the ball skittering out of the right-field corner and eluding Matt Young.

One out later, Valdez pinch hit and bunted toward first baseman Prince Fielder, who threw home barehanded.

Cairo slid his left hand over the plate before the tag.

Sam LeCure (2-1) pitched two innings, striking out three of the six batters he faced.

Joey Votto had three hits for Cincinnati, including a three-run homer off Rick Porcello. Votto extended his hitting streak to 14 games, matching the longest of his career.

Brennan Boesch and Delmon Young homered for the Tigers, who had never played at Great American Ball Park, which opened in 2003. Detroit’s first series in town since 2001 — and a postgame fireworks show to Motor City music — drew the Reds’ fourth sellout crowd of the season.

Cincinnati’s Chris Heisey made two diving catches in center field, the second robbing Fielder of a hit. Fielder went 0 for 4 with a walk, ending his 14-game hitting streak.

Some of the Tigers took early batting practice, working on their swings while getting an idea of how the ball carries at the unfamiliar ballpark.

Answer: It really flies.

Votto’s homer in the third inning made it 54 straight games with at least one homer at Great American, the longest ongoing streak in the majors.

There hasn’t been a homerless game in the ballpark since July 29.

During his 14-game streak, Votto has gone 28 of 51 (.549) with three homers and eight doubles.

Boesch came into the game in a 4-for-42 slump. He connected on a solo homer off Mat Latos, the 12th homer the right-hander has allowed in a dozen starts. It was Boesch’s first homer since May 17.

Boesch had three hits overall, including an RBI single in seventh off Jose the Arredondo. Young’s homer off Arredondo put the Tigers up 5-4 in the eighth, but Todd Frazier tied it in the bottom of the inning with a pinch-hit double.

Frazier was a late scratch at third base because of back spasms.

Gessler trades police chief’s uniform for baseball official’s

BY MIKE SEFFRIN mseffrin@sdnccg.com When he’s not wearing the uniform of Sidney police chief, Kevin Gessler sometimes may be found in another uniform — that of a baseball official.

Gessler said he got into officiating about 15 years ago when his son was playing baseball and his daughter was playing softball.

Gessler, who lived in West Virginia at the Gessler time, was coaching them.

“In those lower levels, it’s the parents who do a lot of officiating,” said Gessler, who played baseball as a youngster but not in high school or college.

There was a shortage of umpires in West Virginia, Gessler said. He decided to undergo training and eventually was certified as a baseball official in West Virginia and Ohio in 1999.

“I just got interested in it. It was enjoyable,” Gessler said. “I tell people it gives me the best seat in the house.”

Starting out in the lower leagues, Gessler moved up to high school games and went on to become an assigner — that’s a person who assigns officials to work games. He did that in both West Virginia and Ohio.

About five years ago, he started to move into the college ranks. But Gessler said he doesn’t have a preference at what level he officiates — he just enjoys seeing good play.

“Some of the college games are a much higher caliber of play,” but you see it at all levels, he said. “You really want to see the good plays.”

Gessler said he’s always working to get better as an official. He attends many rules meetings and he is a member of the College Baseball Umpire Allliance, a group that is associated with the National Collegiate Athletic Associaton. He attends a clinic every year, usually in Chicago, and must pass a rules test.

“I belong to an organization here called the West Central Umpires Asso-

“It’s the best-run organization for officals that I’ve seen. It’s all about training better officials. They don’t walk around thinking they’re good; they work at getting good.”

Gessler said people need to understand how hard it is and how much time and effort officials put into doing the job.

He said he officiates at several preseason games every year to get ready.

Being a good official begins with the basics of a good appearance — shiny shoes and a clean uniform, Gessler said.

“After that, it’s all communication.”

Officials must learn to deal with controversial calls.

“You have know it and you have to accept it,” Gessler said. “Half of the people at the ballpark are going to agree with you and half aren’t.”

“Most of it’s about did you actually see it and then make it (the call),” he said.

Gessler said the harder a call is to make, the more controversial it will be.

“There’s been a few times when I second-guessed myself,” he said. “I kind of thought it through.”

“At the end of every game, if there was a close play, we discuss it in the parking lot with other officials,” Gessler said.

I’ll Have Another out Legion loses of Belmont, retired

BY RICHARD ROSENBLATT Associated Press NEW YORK (AP) — I’ll Have Another’s bid for the first Triple Crown in 34 years ended shockingly in the barn and not on the racetrack Friday when the colt was scratched the day before the Belmont Stakes and retired with a swollen tendon.

“It’s been an incredible ride, an incredible run,” trainer Doug O’Neill said.

“It’s a bummer. It’s not tragic, but it’s a huge disappointment.”

I’ll Have Another, who won the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness Stakes with stirring stretch drives, was the 4-5 favorite to win the Belmont and become the 12th Triple Crown winner and first since 1978.

Instead, he becomes the 12th horse since Affirmed, the last Triple champion, to win the first two legs but not the Belmont.

The scratch marks the first time since Bold Venture in 1936 that the Derby and Preakness winner didn’t run in the Belmont. Burgoo King skipped the race in 1932.

“Could he run and compete? Yes. Would it be in his best interest? No,” O’Neill said.

He said the swollen left

Reddam confirmed that, saying: “We’re all a bit shocked, but we have to do what’s best for the horse. And if he can’t compete at the top level, he’s done enough.”

After the news conference, O’Neill led I’ll Have Another out of the detention barn and walked him down a path toward the barn where the colt had stayed for most of the time he had been at Belmont. Starting Wednesday, all the Belmont Stakes horses were housed in the same barn; the track said it was a security measure.

“Some people have asked did the detention barn have anything to do with this. Absolutely not.

Just a freakish thing,” O’Neill said.

His brother Dennis said: “We’re very, very bummed out, but we’ll be back next year.”

He said it was hard to tell anything was wrong just by looking at the horse.

“He looks great. He’s sound. He went great this morning. He looks super (but) you just can’t take a chance. He’s too valuable of a horse and we love him to death like all of them,” he said. “You wouldn’t run a horse if you think something might happen.”

Danica Patrick tries dirt track

BY RYAN CARPE Ohio Community Media rcarpe@dailyadvocate.com ROSSBURG — Danica Patrick’s first dirt-track race was a bumpy one.

“I’ve been to a lot of dirt races but just not driving them,” she said.

The only female IndyCar winner participated in Eldora Speedway’s Prelude to the Dream on Wednesday night, where Patrick competed against some of the most successful drivers in racing history, including Tony Stewart, Jimmie Johnson and Kurt Busch.

The celebrity driver is now in her first full-time NASCAR season, so new racing venues have become a part of her career.

“The last couple years I’m all about broadening my horizons and treading in new territory,” she said.

But before getting into the driver’s seat of her Dirt Late Model, she asked her colleagues a lot of questions.

GESSLER official. He said he’s able to keep his emotions under control and to calm down coaches.

One way to defuse a situation is to explain the reason for a call.

“If you’re honest with coaches and let them know that, it will at least make them understand,” Gessler said.

Gessler said he hasn’t had to eject anyone from a high school or college game, although it’s happened in “summer ball” where coaches and players are less experienced.

right,” Gessler said.

Checking with another official who may have been in a better position to see the play is a way to reach that goal.

Gessler, who’s 50 years old, plans to keep officiating as long as he can.

“When I hit 50, I thought, how many years do I have left?” said Gessler, who mentioned a couple of officials in their 60s who still are doing an excellent job. “I’m going to do it as long as I can do it well.”

“It’s a lot of fun,” he said. “It keeps me with the area youth.”

Lake stocked with yellow perch ST. MARYS — Ohio Department of Natural Resources officials did an experimental stocking of yellow perch at Grand Lake St. Marys on May 23.

The goal of the stocking was to provide more angler opportunities while improving the self-sustaining yellow perch population.

“We believe the stocking, in conjunction with improvements in water quality, may promote recovery of yellow perch fishing at Grand Lake St. Marys,” said Rich Carter, executive administrator of Fish Management and Research with ODNR Division of Wildlife.

The 100,408 yellow perch recently stocked were raised at the Division of Wildlife’s St. Marys State Fish Hatchery and released at Behm’s Landing. All stocked fish were 1.5-2

inch “fingerlings” marked with a technique that will allow biologists to determine the difference between naturally reproduced and stocked fish. A naturally reproducing population still exists in the lake, however with a dwindling number, state officials wanted to stock the lake in hopes of increasing yellow perch fishing in the area.

This stocking represents the first time since 1944 that yellow perch were stocked in Grand Lake St. Marys, and this stocking was the largest ever one-time stocking of yellow perch in the lake.

ODNR ensures a balance between wise use and protection of our natural resources for the benefit of all, agency officials said. Information about ODNR programs and recreational facilities is available online at www.ohiodnr.com.

who also is impressed with the commitment to excellence he’s seen among officials in Ohio.

“What’s amazing over here is, I can name five guys who have been to pro school,” he said. This involves spending thousands of dollars and devoting a couple of months to training.

“That’s what it’s all about — just getting better,” Gessler said.

Gessler’s experiences as a police officer where he’s had to deal with tense situations and emotional people have helped him as a baseball

“Doing something different is scary,” she said. “I have not been brave enough to say ‘yes’ to Tony’s offer to come do the Prelude before, but I feel like that’s been the story of my life for the last couple years, trying new things and expanding my comfort zone.”

Patrick was also not able to practice before the race.

“I would have liked to have practiced if had time,” she said.

The Prelude to the Dream is an annual charity event hosted

by Eldora Speedway owner Tony Stewart and held in partnership with the Feed the Children Foundation this year, which means that the race did not count toward the drivers’ career points.

“It doesn’t matter at the end of the day, but of course I don’t want to look ridiculous,” Patrick said.

“Anyway, I’m not expecting much out of myself; I just hope to keep the pace.”

Patrick finished in the middle of the pack, placing 15 out of 26 drivers at the Prelude to the Dream. The 11 cars behind her were pulled from the race due to accidents or mechanical issues.

An injury to the Sidney Legion’s pitcher was the turning point in its 15-3 loss to Napoleon Thursday night in Sidney.

Sidney pitcher Rusty Hodgson, of Greenville, was hit while batting.

“We were up 3 to 2 in the fourth when our pitcher Rusty Hodgson was batting and was hit in the tailbone,” Sidney coach Jason McLain said. “It ended up not allowing him to pitch and he was grooving and pitching a great game at the time. ...

He tried to go out and pitch but could not. We were not able to get a pitcher warmed up enough and that is when Napoleon capitalized on our pitcher’s inability to throw strikes. They got four quick runs.

That was the turning point of the game and we just could not recover. We got down and gave up.”

Sidney scored one run on three hits in the fourth inning. They had three hits and no runs in the fifth and one hit each in the seventh and ninth innings.

The catcher for Sidney was Dalton Bollinger, of Riverside.

Nick Buchanan, of Wapakoneta, continues to hit the ball and had two hits.

Napoleon had no hits or runs in the first and second innings. In the third, Napoleon had no hits, but scored two runs on two Sidney errors. Napoleon went on to get two hits in the fourth, but no runs.

Then in the fifth inning, they got three hits and four runs, followed by one hit and two runs in the sixth.

The seventh inning saw Napoleon score three runs on four hits. They had one hit and no runs in the eighth and finished the game with four hits and four runs in the ninth.

The Sidney Legion returns to action today against the Bucyrus Legion at 11 a.m. at Bluffton College. Sunday, Sidney plays at home, facing the Piqua Legion. The game time is to be announced.

YMCA Stingrays swim team finishes in championship meets The Sidney-Shelby County YMCA Stingray swim team recently finished its season with a series of championship meets.

The team took fifth overall at the Class A championships in where Springfield, teams north of Dayton competed. The meet is open to all YMCA swimmers that have not achieved more than six qualifying times to compete at higher levels of competition.

The size of the Stingrays to that of the teams they compete against is worth noting.

With only 36 swimmers, the Stingrays placed fifth, and the fourthplace team is nearly twice the size, and is dwarfed by the size of the top three teams.

The boys placed third overall, led by the 11-12 and senior age groups, which placed second in their respective age groups.

The following week, a smaller group of individuals qualified for the AA meet, which is the first championship of the season where swimmers must qualify in order to compete. The Stingrays sent 14 swimmers to the meet, held at Miami University.

Qualifiers included Logan Frasure (8), Jaden Humphrey (8), Wesley Brubaker (10), Brennan McClain (9), Justin Shuga (9), Aaron Jenson (12), Joe Shuga

(12), Collin McClain (11), Naiki Tsukahara (12), Chase Van Tilburgh (12), Nathan Bosway (13), Logan Johnson (13), Andrew Sluss (13) and Ian Stephens (14).

There were some stunning races by these swimmers over the course of the weekend.

For the 10-andunders, Frasure surprised the competition by finishing third overall in the 25 free, from an outside lane and the third-fastest heat. She went on to finish seventh and eighth in the 50 free and 100 free, respectively. As the lone female swimmer for Sidney, she managed to take 12th place overall for the 8-and-under girls.

Jaden Humphrey also moved up in the final rankings, 10 spots to place eighth overall in the 100 individual medley. He also took 11th place overall for the entire 8-and-under boys, being the only swimmer competing for Sidney in that age group. Humphrey also swam up to round out

the 9-10 boys relays with Brubaker, McClain and Shuga, and finished 10th overall in the 100 free and 200 medley relays.

In the morning sessions, the 11-and-over swimmers also had lifetime best performances and a few yielded Zone qualifying times, which extended the swimmers’ season by another week and gave them the opportunity to compete in Canton, where the high school state meet is held.

This level of competition included the fastest swimmers from a fivestate regional including Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Kentcky and West Virginia.

The 11-12 relays comprised of Shuga, McClain, Tsukahara and finished Vantilburg strong. They were able to meet the Zone qualifying time for the 200 free relay, where they went on to finish 16th overall at the Zone meet.

Individual advancers include Shuga in the 50 backstroke, Tsukahara and Van Tilburgh in the 50 free and Tsukahara also in the 50 breaststroke.

The Stingrays will return to the pool to begin the 2012-13 season.

They practice at the YMCA, and anyone interested in joining the Stingrays can contact the YMCA front desk for more information.

THE 9-10 BOYS relay team, and teammate Logan Frasure (front), are all smiles after a meet recently. The foursome of (l-r) Wesley Brubaker, Brennan McClain, Justin Shuga and Jaden Humphrey finished 10th overall in both the 200 free and 200 medley relays at the AA meet at Miami University. Frasure was outstanding also, finishing third in the 25 free and seventh and eighth in the 50 and 100 frees.

MINSTER — Minster Oktoberfest parade officials are now accepting nominations for 2012 grand marshal.

The deadline for nominations is July 1.

Send a letter stating reasons this person or organization deserves the title. Mail entries to Minster Oktoberfest Parade, P.O. Box 29, Minster Oh, 45865.

Eligibility requirements for grand marshal are: • Must be a resident (current or past) of the Minster School District.

• Must have benefited the residents of the Minster community. work, • Volunteer not normal job or duties.

• Cannot have received money or benefits for the work.

Bruns’ memory alive, beginning in 2011, the committee began recognizing other dedicated health care professionals who are now deceased, for their service at Joint Township District Memorial Hospital.

The raffles and bake sale are always held the Thursday before Easter.

Employees flock to the main entrance to see a bountiful supply of cookies, cakes, and other desserts decorated in the Easter theme, as well as prizes donated by employees and local businesses, hospital foundation officials said.

This year bakery and raffle items increased with departments competing within the hospital contributing their support. The revenues also increased substantially over the past year — this

year raising more $2,500.

The Lab Department employees will receive a sundae bar courtesy of the foundation for their outstanding support.

“We are so grateful to co-chairs, Clarice Gigandet, RN, Jessie Steinke, RN, and Patti Bailey RN, and their committee: Patti Blevins RN, Heather Jurosic RN, Kathy Fry RN, Rae Ann Roettger RN, Michelle Archer RN, and Kimberly Regedanz RN, for their efforts in organizing and raising funds for these scholarships,” said Karen Ryals, executive director of JTD Hospital Foundation.

Several members of the committee have been recipients of this scholarship fund and now lend a hand to help other employees continue their education.

• The volunteer has to have done more than just be associated with the project.

• If volunteer work was associated with the nominee’s job, it had to be significantly over and above the call of duty.

• Only applications that have been received this year will be considered.

“I’m proud to hear that Ohio’s children are learning so much from our state’s DARE programs,” DeWine said. “Not only do they learn the dangers of drugs, but in this case these kids have learned the value of giving back to the community.”

Grants from the Attorney General’s Office partially fund Auglaize County’s DARE program.

Whether posting or responding to an advertisement, watch out for offers to pay more than the advertised price for the item. Scammers will send a check and ask the seller to wire the excess through Western Union (possibly for courier fees).

The scammer's check is fake and eventually bounces and the seller loses the wired amount.

While banks and Western Union branches are trained at spotting fake checks, these types of scams are growing increasingly sophisticated and fake checks often aren't caught for weeks.

Funds wired through Western Union or MoneyGram are irretrievable and virtually untraceable.
