Anna Homecoming parade to honor two retired teachers BY KATHY LEESE ANNA — When the Anna Homecoming Festival parade kicks off on Saturday afternoon, there will be familiar people waving to the crowd as grand marshals. Randy Locker and Connie Smith, who have both served Anna Local Schools as teachers for 35 years and retired this year, will serve as grand marshals for the annual parade, which begins on Saturday at 4 p.m. The parade will begin at the corner of First and Main Streets in Anna and end at the Anna Elementary School. It will feature more than 100 entries. Locker and Smith know a little about the parade's theme, “Teaching Tomorrow’s Leaders,” having served as educators for so long in the Anna system. Locker taught fifth grade at Anna Elementary School along with Smith, who taught second grade for seven years before taking over as the kindergarten teacher, a position she held until her retirement. Locker said he chose to teach because “I’ve always enjoyed working with kids. In high school, I was in the Future Teachers of America (FTA), where I worked with teachers in the school and especially liked working with elementary-age students. Add to that the fact that my dad

For Locker, the biggest change has been technology. “Without a doubt, the advance in technology is the biggest change. We have gone from hand-crank mimeograph machines, where you would end up with blue ink on your hands ... to copies that in seconds turn out double-sided,

professional-looking booklets. We’ve gone from writing on the old, dust-filled blackboards to a smartboard,” Locker said. “What I don’t like is how everything is so test-driven and gets taught at younger and younger ages. Couple that with the all-year-round, young-age sports programs, and students don’t have time any more to be a kid,” Locker said.

If Locker could change something in education, it would be testing and “I would go back to the time of summer sports programs where kids had fun learning the basics of a sport ... not like now where they come to school on Monday too tired to be focused on learning because they were playing basketball, volleyball or soccer in a tournament all weekend long," he said.

Tricky landing Taylor Tucholski, 15, works on his skateboarding skills at Riverbend Park Wednesday while visiting family in Sidney. He is the son of Alisha and Marty Howeoo, of Eaton.

A presentation on the possibility of a Chinese Cultural Exchange program was presented to the Sidney City School Board of Education during its meeting on Monday. Meggan Weaver, talented and gifted coordinator for the district, presented the information to the board. There is a proposed visit to Sidney in October for 10 to 15 days for at least one student and one teacher from China. All travel expenses will be covered by the Chinese government, but host families will be needed. Host families will also supply transport to and from the airport, lodging and food. The teacher will shadow a Sidney High School teacher during the visit, as well as give some class lectures and the student will have the opportunity to shadow an SHS student.

In the summer of 2013, it is also proposed that at least one student and one teacher will visit China for 15 days. The student and teacher will be responsible for their travel costs; donations or corporate sponsors will be needed for this expense. For the 2013-14 school year, the possibility is being explored that a teacher from China would teach Mandarin Chinese for one year. In December 2011, Tan Bin, an educator from China, visited Shelby County and Sidney City Schools. After his visit, he returned to China with a letter of intent to exchange visits of students and teachers between the US and China. In April 2012 Shawn McElroy, gifted coordinator for the Shelby County ESC, visited China for three weeks at See EXCHANGE/Page 2A

Agencies report Man accused of Internet threats increase in number of citations, arrests signed into law the texting and driving legislation approved by the state Legislature. The ban takes effect at the end of August. The new law has two levels of enforcement: There is only secondary enforcement for adult drivers who text. This means that police need another reason to stop and cite violators, such as weaving or speeding. For drivers under the age of 18, however, texting and use of other portable electronic devices will be a primary offense. Fines for adult violators will be $150. For teen violators, fines top out at $300 with possible loss of the driver’s license. Ohio became the 39th state to ban text messaging while driving. Barhorst reported that the student survey instruments received after Shelby County Mock Crash 2012 yielded similar results as had similar surveys following previous mock crashes. A majority of respondents again reported that a seminal point of the mock crash was when the victim was placed in a body bag and taken away from the scene in a hearse. “Given the turnover of key personnel between this event and the last, I was worried that it would run as smoothly,” Shelby County Educational Service Center Curriculum and Instruction supervisor Steve Fark said. “The event ran as smoothly as ever - student reaction was good.” Fark also mentioned that he would be retiring from his duties. Barhorst thanked him for his contributions to the group. Those present joined in wishing Fark well in his retirement. The next meeting of the Governor’s Community Traffic Safety Network of Shelby County will be held Sept. 18. Lt. Albers will host the meeting at the Piqua Post of the Ohio State Highway Patrol.

Hickton said he could not answer questions because the investigation was continuing into Waterland’s alleged activities, as well as bomb threats — some emailed and others written in bathroom stalls of campus buildings — that disrupted classes and dorm life for weeks this year. Waterland is not charged with making the bomb threats. He faces one count each of interstate threats and extortion and Internet extortion involving a protected computer. The Pitt computers are considered “protected” under federal law because they contain the personal information of students, faculty and staff. Pitt officials did not immediately return requests for comment on Waterland’s arrest, but have previously said the

computer records now being linked to the charges against Waterland were never actually hacked. Waterland was represented by assistant federal public defender Karen Savir during his brief court appearance in Cincinnati. She didn’t immediately return a call or an email, and Waterland didn’t answer a message left on his cellphone. An eight-page FBI affidavit unsealed Wednesday said Waterland posted a YouTube video using the computer name AnonOperative13, claiming the computer hacking group known as Anonymous had stolen records of students, faculty and alumni from university computers. The April 26 video demanded that school officials apologize for not “protecting” students just

five days after the last of a string of dozens of bomb threats. A group calling itself The Threateners emailed the school’s student paper, The Pitt News, promising to stop the bomb threats in return for the university’s withdrawing a $50,000 reward, and the university complied — although school officials didn’t explain why the reward was withdrawn at that time. Waterland’s threat to release the allegedly hacked files also was followed by a comment, on May 2 from AnonOperative13, that said, “We also would like to state that we are NOT going to release the information unless Pitt admins … follow our very simple request!” The threat gave a May 15 deadline for Chancellor Mark Nordenberg to issue a public apology.

EXCHANGE a local Chinese high school. No action was taken but the possibility of an exchange program will be discussed at a later board meeting. Superintendent John Scheu presented information to the Board on a local tennis booster organization that is working to raise money for the tennis courts located at both Sidney High School and Lehman High School. for both Courts schools are currently in need of repair and resurfacing, which is a significant expense. In an effort to offset this cost, the booster organization is working to solicit donations for these projects from local individuals and organizations. Fundraising has not yet begun, but the group will report back on their progress in the near future. The board also took the following action: • Approved amended appropriations as recommended by the treasurer. • Entered into oneyear contracts with Trucking Properties to provide school bus park-

Investigation continues JACKSON CENTER — The accident which claimed the life of a Jackson Center man is still under investigation. The Ohio State Highway Patrol is investigating the incident which happened on Sunday at 2:28 a.m., at the intersection of Lock Two Road and Wones Road. Shane C. Fetter, 22, of Jackson Center, was a passenger in a vehicle that was driven by Ryan C. McJunkin, of Botkins. Fetter reportedly fell out of the vehicle while it was in motion. He was pronounced dead at the scene. According to Lt.

The Governor’s Community Traffic Safety Network of Shelby County met Tuesday morning at the Sidney Fire Department. Sidney Fire Chief Brad Jones hosted the quarterly meeting. Sidney Police Capt. Will Balling provided citywide traffic statistics for the department. Balling reported the department has investigated 261 accidents this year, up from 234 during the same period last year. Forty-one of those accidents resulted in Operating a Vehicle Impaired (OVI) arrests, compared to 30 for the same period last year. The increase in activity was the theme for other agencies reporting. Lt. Tim Bender reported the Shelby County Sheriff ’s Office had investigated 230 crashes, an increase from 170 during the same period in 2011. Of those accidents, 57 involved injuries, up from 21 the preceding year. The sheriff ’s office reported 17 OVI arrests, up from six during the same period in 2011. Lt. Rick Albers provided traffic statistics for the Piqua Post of the Ohio State Highway Patrol. Albers said his troopers have made 4,560 enforcement stops thus far in 2012, up from 3,021 for the same period in 2011. Of those stops, he said 218 resulted in OVI arrests, compared to 106 the preceding year. Troopers from the Piqua Post have issued 957 tickets for seat belt violations, a large increase from 607 in 2011. Asked about the increase in OVI arrests by Committee Chair Mike Barhorst, Albers responded that the Piqua Post had placed “more focus on OVI violations this year. There have been four fatal accidents in Shelby County so far this year. In three of the four accidents, the deceased was not wearing a safety belt and in at least three of the four, alcohol was involved.” It was reported Ohio Gov. John R. Kasich has

PITTSBURGH (AP) — An Ohio man was arrested Wednesday on federal charges that he posted an anonymous YouTube video and a follow-up comment claiming to have stolen computer records from the University of Pittsburgh and threatening to release them unless the school’s chancellor made a public apology.

BWC increases funding for safety councils COLUMBUS — Ohio Bureau of Workers’ Compensation (BWC) Administrator/CEO Steve Buehrer has announced a 10 percent increase in funding provided to support Ohio’s 80 safety councils, which work to increase safety awareness in the workplace and educate businesses on occupational safety and health issues. The increase will benefit the Shelby County Safety Council of the Sidney-Shelby County Chamber of Commerce. “Safety councils bring together safety-conscious employers in a community to learn and share best practices, and are among the best and most effective resources to help us make injury prevention a priority in Ohio workplaces,” said Buehrer. “My hope is that this funding increase will not only assist safety councils in continuing to provide high quality services but increase membership and inspire new program-features for the employers we serve.” BWC’s Division of Safety & Hygiene sponsors safety councils that are organized across the state by local safetyminded groups to inform

participants of new safety techniques, products and services, and provide a thorough knowledge of topics, including occupational safety and health, workers’ compensation and risk management education. BWC provides the annual funding to sponsoring organizations to underwrite a portion of costs. administrative The funding is based on the attendance average of each council’s ten highest attended meetings in the previous calendar year. “The work of Safety Councils can have a very real impact in the workplaces of our members, whose participation demonstrates their commitment to maintaining safety as their highest priority,” said Dawn Eilert, with the Shelby County Safety Council. “We value our ongoing partnership with BWC and appreciate BWC’s recognition of the very important work going on each day all over the state to prevent workplace injuries.” The statewide safety council funding for fiscal year 2013 will be effective July 1 and will total $911,650 with the increase.

ST. MARYS (AP) — Authorities say a man shot his dog after it bit someone at a campground, then dumped the dog in a western Ohio lake. Officials who found the dog in a cage just over two weeks ago at Grand Lake St. Marys State Park, between Dayton and Toledo, at first thought the dog had drowned.

We accept

The Auglaize County dog warden says the owner has been charged with a misdemeanor because he didn’t report the dog bite or the death of the dog so it could be examined. Authorities filed the charge Tuesday against 43-year-old Mardie Biederman of Panama City, Fla. A message was left at his home Wednesday.

Parole board rejects mercy for Ohio killer COLUMBUS (AP) — The prosecutor who charged John Eley with a capital crime and a judge who sentenced him to death both want the killer of a Youngstown convenience store owner spared, saying he doesn’t deserve a death sentence. Their unusual support was not enough to sway the Ohio Parole Board, which voted 5-3 Wednesday in a rare split decision to recommend against clemency for Eley. Eley, 63, is scheduled to die July 26 for the 1986 killing of store owner Ihsan Aydah. Gov. John Kasich has the final say on mercy. Eley refused to testify against his alleged conspirator, Melvin Green, in exchange for a deal that would have removed the death penalty. Green, who was acquitted in a separate trial, was considered the mastermind of the crime by investigators. Opposition to Eley’s execution from the prosecutor and the judge, as well as the detective who investigated the crime, don’t outweigh the nature of the crime, according to the five board members who rejected clemency. The supporters’ assertions “do not outweigh the fact that Eley took the gun from Green, entered the store with the intent to rob the victim, knew that the victim had a gun and might try to use it, and then shot him in the head,” the board said. The board also rejected claims by Eley’s lawyers that he is mentally ill and

mentally disabled. It’s not unusual for judges or prosecutors to change their mind about individual cases or the death penalty itself, but on-the-record testimony on behalf of a condemned inmate is relatively rare. The three board members who supported Eley’s plea for mercy say he is not the “worst of the worst” killers, and argue that many similar convenience store robbers who committed more serious crimes escaped death sentences. They also said the crime wouldn’t have happened without Green. And they argued that Eley was a victim of a game of bluff by prosecutors as they threatened him with a death sentence to force his testimony against Green. prosecutors “The ‘played a bluff’ all the way to the end, and when Eley did not cooperate, they were stuck with the death penalty conviction,” the three dissenting members said. Former Mahoning County prosecutor Gary Van Brocklin told the board that Green set up the entire robbery. Former Mahoning County judge Peter Economus — now a federal judge — said if defense attorneys had presented more reasons why Eley should have been spared, he wouldn’t have voted in favor of a death sentence. Clemency “should be granted for Mr. Eley in this case,” Economus wrote to both the parole board and Kasich on June 7.

‘Joe the Plumber’ links Holocaust Wedding tied to comic with gun control

TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) — The Ohio congressional candidate known as “Joe the Plumber” suggested in a campaign video that German gun controls contributed to deaths during the Holocaust because Jews didn’t have firearms to defend themselves. The comments quickly drew strong rebukes from Democrats and Jewish organizations. In the video, Samuel Wurzelbacher loads a shotgun and fires at pieces of fruit placed on wooden posts. “In 1939, Germany established gun control,” he says. “From 1939 to 1945, six million Jews and seven million others, unable to defend themselves, were exterminated,” he says before ending the video by saying “I love America.” Gun control opponents have long held that Adolf Hitler was able to seize power in Germany in part because of controls on firearms.

Ohio Democratic Party Chairman Chris Redfern said the video was “incredibly offensive.” He called on Republicans and Democrats to condemn “the despicable actions of this very desperate man.” “Using the memories of the six million Jews killed in the Holocaust to make a political point is never appropriate, under any circumstances,” said David A. Harris, president of the National Democratic Jewish Council. Wurzelbacher defended his statements on Twitter, posting Tuesday that he did not say that gun control caused genocide. He is running as a Republican in Ohio’s 9th U.S. House district, which stretches from Toledo to Cleveland. Wurzelbacher became known as “Joe the Plumber” after questioning Barack Obama about his economic policies during the 2008 presidential campaign.

NEW YORK (AP) — A gay couple from Ohio who describe themselves as “comic book geeks” have tied the knot at a comic book store in New York City. The wedding of architect Jason Walker and health care worker Scott Everhart on Wednesday was timed to coincide with the marriage of Marvel Comics’ first openly gay hero, Northstar, and his longtime boyfriend Kyle Jinadu. The comic book couple married in the pages of “Astonishing X-Men” No. 51. That issue hit stores Wednesday. The real-life couple said one of their first dates was going to a comic book store. They said they are “geeks in love.” Midtown Comics co-owner Gerry Gladston said he is happy to help promote acceptance and tolerance.

AG creates program COLUMBUS (AP) — Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine has launched a program intended to iron out public records disputes between citizens and local governments before they wind up in court. The Public Records Mediation Program that kicked off Wednesday is open to any party in the dispute, whether the requestor of the records or the city, county, school district or other local entity that’s holding them. Both parties must consent for the mediation to go forward. DeWine has assigned members of his public records unit to handle the negotiations. He said the idea is to resolve disputes alleging records are being improperly denied or delayed before they lead to costly, time-consuming litigation.

Museum to return stolen water jug to Italy TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) — The Toledo Museum of Art says it will return an ancient water jug to Italy that investigators believe was probably illegally dug up from that country years ago. The 2,500-year-old water vessel, or kalpis, has been on display at the Ohio museum since 1982, when it was purchased from an antiquities dealer out of Switzerland. It will be displayed in the museum’s Libbey Court until it leaves for Rome, probably in late summer. “The right thing to do is to return this object,” museum Director Brian Kennedy told The Blade newspaper. “We knew we’d likely lose this. We’ll miss it.” Italy has pressed an aggressive campaign to win back ancient Roman, Greek and Etruscan vases, bowls, statues and other artifacts prosecutors contend were looted from the country. The campaign was set in motion after a police raid on a Swiss warehouse of an Italian art dealer found a trove of artifacts and photos of antiquities, many of them still covered with dirt from being hastily excavated by antiquities hunters in Italy. Black painting on the orangey clay vessel at the Toledo museum depicts the Greek tale of Dionysos, the god of wine and drama. The late museum curator Kurt Luckner had recommended Toledo buy the kalpis for $90,000, and its acquisition was a coup for Toledo because the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York had also wanted it at the time. Authorities believe the 20-inch artifact was probably illegally excavated in Italy, smuggled to Switzerland and given a forged record of ownership. To

Program extended WASHINGTON (AP) — The Federal Reserve is trying again to jolt the American economy out of its stalled recovery. It’s extending a program that aims to encourage borrowing and spending by reducing long-term interest rates. Wednesday’s decision followed months of concern that the economy is being held back by a weakened job market. At the end of a two-day policy meeting, the Fed also sharply reduced its forecast for U.S. growth and said it’s prepared to take more action if necessary. It reiterated plans to keep short-term interest rates at record lows until at least late 2014. “If we’re not seeing a sustained improvement in the labor market, that would require additional action,” Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke said later in the day.

AG Holder held in contempt WASHINGTON (AP) — Setting up a potential constitutional confrontation, a Republican-controlled House panel voted Wednesday to cite Attorney General Eric Holder for contempt of Congress, just hours after President Barack Obama invoked executive privilege — for the first time — to withhold documents demanded by the committee. The party-line vote was 2317 following hours of caustic debate. The controversy goes next to the full House, where Republican Speaker John Boehner said there would be a vote next week unless there was some resolution in the meantime. Committee Chairman Darrell Issa of California said that “more than eight months after a subpoena” for the documents

— which concern how the Justice Department learned there were problems with an Arizona probe of gun-running into Mexico — Obama’s “untimely assertion” of executive privilege was no reason to delay the contempt vote. No, it was just political, said Rep. Elijah Cummings of Maryland, the committee’s ranking Democrat. He called the vote “an extreme, virtually unprecedented action based on election-year politics rather than fact.” The last Cabinet member to be cited by a congressional committee for contempt was Attorney General Janet Reno in President Bill Clinton’s administration. That was never brought to a follow-up vote in the full House. Technically, if the full House

approves the Holder contempt citation, there could be a federal criminal case against him, but history strongly suggests the matter won’t get that far. Whether Congress could force the Justice Department to turn over the documents is a basic question. In the Watergate case, the Supreme Court ordered President Richard Nixon to turn over taped conversations to a criminal prosecutor. But in the Nixon case, the justices also found a constitutional basis for claims of executive privilege, leaving the door open for presidents to cite it in future clashes with Congress. In the administration’s claim of executive privilege, Deputy Attorney General James Cole said in a letter to Issa, “We regret that we have

New leader sworn in ATHENS, Greece (AP) — Greece moved to end its protracted political impasse Wednesday, swearing in a new prime minister to lead a largely pro-bailout coalition tasked with saving the country’s place in the eurozone and easing a European financial crisis with global repercussions. Antonis Samaras, a 61year-old U.S.-educated economist, became the fourth prime minister in eight months. “I know well the need to restore the dignity of the Greek people that has been wounded,” he said. “I know the need for a quick recovery of the economy to restore social justice and social cohesion.”

GPS sends car into sand trap UXBRIDGE, Mass. (AP) — A woman told police she drove her car into a sand trap on a Massachusetts golf course because her GPS sent her the wrong way. Police say she was drunk. Patricia Maione was held on $10,000 bail after pleading not guilty Tuesday to charges including driving with a suspended license and fourth offense drunken driving. Authorities say the 47year-old woman’s car got stuck at the Whitinsville Golf Club in Northbridge on Monday. She told police her GPS told her to turn left, which she said led her through a corn field and onto the golf course.

arrived at this point, after the many steps we have taken to address the committee’s concerns and to accommodate the committee’s legitimate oversight interests.” As the day went on, comments rapidly grew more heated. A Boehner spokesman suggested administration officials had lied earlier or were now “bending the law.” Cummings said Issa “had no interest” in resolving the issue and was trying to pick a fight. The White House reacted sharply to the committee action. “Instead of creating jobs or strengthening the middle-class, congressional Republicans are spending their time on a politically motivated, taxpayerfunded election-year fishing expedition,” Communications Director Dan Pfeiffer said.

Obama faces GOP super PAC WASHINGTON (AP) — Major donors supportive of President Barack Obama and Republican challenger Mitt Romney spent millions of dollars last month to get their candidate elected. But outside political groups helping Romney are poised to account for a growing share of that fundraising largess. Both Obama and Romney’s campaigns showed strong fundraising hauls in May. Romney’s campaign joined with the Republican Party to raise more than $76 million last month, outpacing Obama and the Democrats’ $60 million haul during the same period.

DEBBIE OSTRANDER, of Elk Grove, Calif., checks her smart phone as she and others wait to get back into the Gaylord Opryland Resort and Convention Center after a mechanical explosion force the evacuation of the hotel Tuesday night in Nashville, Tenn. A gas explosion caused the evacuation of more than 5,000 guests Tuesday night, but no injuries were reported and guests were allowed back inside early Wednesday.

Explosion damages hotel NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Damage was estimated Wednesday at up to $750,000 as a result of a gas explosion at the sprawling Gaylord Opryland Resort and Convention Center. No injuries were reported after the Tuesday night blast, though 5,000 guests were evacuated for as long as seven hours. The hotel resumed normal operations Wednesday at 7 a.m. Fire officials said the explosion was caused by a gas leak that ignited inside a mechanical room on the first floor in the convention center portion of the hotel and away from guest rooms. “The entire room was moving,” Davidson County Sheriff Daron Hall told WSMV-TV. He was attending a conven-

tion at the hotel when the explosion happened shortly after 8 p.m. Tuesday. Colin V. Reed, chairman and CEO of Gaylord Entertainment, said Wednesday the hotel was focusing on “returning to business as usual and repairing the impacted areas of the property with minimal disruption to our guests.” The damaged area was closed off to guests Wednesday. There was major damage to an escalator, walls and ceiling. The blast was so strong it damaged ceiling tiles on the third floor. There apparently was no fire. Guests Tuesday night were being given free one-night stays because of the disruption. Gaylord said the explosion

would have little or no effect on upcoming meetings and events. The hotel, some 15 miles northeast of downtown, sits next to the Grand Ole Opry House, the heart of Nashville’s country music scene. With 2,881 rooms, the hotel has 1 million guests annually to rate as the cornerstone of Nashville’s tourism industry. It bills itself as the largest non-gaming hotel in the continental U.S. It is known for its indoor waterfalls, extensive inside landscaping and soaring glass atriums. In 2010, flooding from the nearby Cumberland River caused about $200,000 million in damage to the hotel and forced it to close for six months.

Egypt delays announcing winner CAIRO (AP) — Authorities delayed the announcement of the winner of Egypt’s presidential election, which had been expected Thursday, and gave no date for a decision, hiking tension as allegations of fraud swirled and each candidate declared he was the victor. Amid the atmosphere of political confusion, the Muslim Brotherhood claimed there was an organized campaign of allegations against it to mar the election and keep its candidate, Mohammed Morsi, out of the presidency. The accusation raises temperatures and the possibility of a backlash from the Brotherhood if its rival — former prime minister Ahmed Shafiq — is declared the winner. On top of the potentially

explosive dispute over the election is murkiness over the latest health scare of the 84year-old former President Hosni Mubarak, who was ousted in Egypt’s uprising last year and is now serving a life sentence in prison. Overnight, state media reported that he suffered a stroke and was put on life support. He was transferred to a military hospital from the Cairo prison hospital where he has been kept since his June 2 conviction and sentencing for failing to stop the killing of protesters during the uprising. Security officials said Wednesday he was in a coma but off life support and his heart and other vital organs were functioning. But the ambiguity over his condition has

fueled skepticism among the public, where many already suspect that reports of his deteriorating condition are merely a pretext by security and military officials sympathetic to the former boss to get him out of prison to a more comfortable facility. Egypt’s election of a successor to Mubarak was long touted as a landmark moment, the choosing of the country’s first civilian president in generations, who was meant to take the reins of power from the generals who have ruled directly since Mubarak’s removal on Feb. 11, 2011. Instead, it is shaping into a possible confrontation between the Brotherhood on one side and the military and entrenched elements of Mubarak’s old regime.

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — A suicide bomber killed 21 people including three U.S. soldiers at a checkpoint in a packed market in eastern Afghanistan on Wednesday — the third assault targeting Americans in as many days. The daily violence is threatening to undermine international hopes of an orderly handover to Afghan forces at the end of 2014. Although American officials stress successes in establishing pockets of governance in some areas, the east and south continue to be plagued by regular attacks and clashes. Wednesday’s attack took place in a marketplace in the city of Khost, near the Pakistani border and about 90 miles (150 kilometers) southeast of the Afghan capital, Kabul. The assailant approached on foot through the shops and taxi stands packed with people and then detonated his explosives as he approached Afghan and U.S. soldiers at a checkpoint, said Baryalai Wakman, a spokesman for the Khost provincial government. Three U.S. soldiers and an Afghan interpreter were killed, according to American officials. A convoy in the area responded to the attack, said Maj. Martyn Crighton, a spokesman for NATO forces in Afghanistan. Besides the interpreter, 17 Afghans also were killed, according to the Afghan president’s office. Two were police officers and the rest were civilians, Wakman said. Another 32 people were wounded — all civilians, he said. Eleven bodies were brought to Khost’s main hospital, said hospital director Majid Mangal. He said those included a police officer and a 15-year-old. Another six bodies were brought to the private Badari Clinic in Khost, said Mohammad Ayub Jan, a doctor at the clinic. In nearby Logar province earlier Wednesday, a roadside bombing killed three women and four children crammed into a wagon pulled by a tractor. Four men were also wounded in the blast on a road outside the city of Pul-i-Alam, said provincial spokesman Din Mohammad Darwesh. The bombings came a day after militants carried out two attacks in southern Afghanistan, storming a NATO military base and attacking a police checkpoint. An unspecified number of U.S. troops were wounded in the attack on the NATO base, officials said. On Monday, three gunmen dressed in Afghan police uniforms killed one American service member and wounded nine others in Kandahar’s Zhari district. Nearly 1,900 U.S. troops have been killed in Afghanistan since the war began more than a decade ago.

At the meeting of the Shelby County Genealogical Society reNeil Brady cently, discussed the Miami Erie Canal district. After the canal act in 1825, he said, there were laid 1,000 miles of canal in Ohio. These canals would become the first interstate highways. Immediately, the rush to start making the canals began. In July, Newark was the first with many more to follow. The Nelsonville-toAthens canal was used to transport bricks, many of which were used to pave streets in the towns and cities. The Miami-Erie canal was started two weeks after the Newark. From 1825-1837, the canal was built from Middletown to Piqua. Then in 1845, from Piqua to Junction, where two

canals would meet. It would take 40 locks to get across the summit of Ohio. The area called “Deep Cut” took 400 men two years to cut through to connect the canal Spencerville through and Kossuth. The majority of men working on the canal were immigrants. There were many Irish and German men put to work digging the canals. Local farmers would become contractors and hire workers for a section of the canal. The average wages were 50 cents a day for a horse and 25 cents a day for a man. The dirt dug up from the ground was carried out by wheel barrow. The average width of a canal was 40 feet across and the water for the most part was 4 feet deep. The Erie Canal

was 100 wide and 5 feet deep. The towpath was 10 feet across. There usually three were mules used to tow the canal boat up and down the canal and a second team on the canal boat. The canal would have a one-inch drop per mile of canal. To compensate for the drop, locks were built to raise and lower the water level to get the boats up and down the canal. The locks were 97 feet long and would hold 8 to 10 feet of water. The boats could hold 50 to 60 people, the extra team of mules, the captain of the boat and his family. It would cost four cents a mile to ride on the canal boat. The author, Charles Dickens, commented after riding on a canal boat that the mules had a better sense of humor than the people. The canal boats

could hold about 80 tons of cargo. The clearance for bridges that crossed the canal was set at 13 feet, 6 inches. There were bump bridges that the canal boat would bump into and they would swing open to let the canal boat through and then swing back into position for the road traffic. Today, many areas are trying to save the heritage and memories of the canals through restoration and using the towpaths for hiking and bicycle paths. The canals helped to build up this area by bringing in settlers and businesses and the area probably wouldn’t be the same without the people who were inspired to build this unique transportation system, Brady said.

Home, garden tour Saturday URBANA — The Champaign County Preservation Alliance with the support of the Peoples Savings Bank will present the 20th annual historic home and garden tour on Saturday and Sunday in Urbana. The hours are 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. and tickets are $12 available at the white tent behind the municipal building, 205 S. Main St. Advance tickets are available for $10 at locations listed on the web site, www.urbanahomeandgardentour.com. Included on the tour are seven homes, one house under restoration, two private gardens, a historic church, an office building with new use, The Johnny Appleseed Museum and The Grimes Flying Lab and Museum. To qualify for the tour, the residence must be at least 50 years old. The purpose is to demon-

strate feasibility of restoring an older structure to the needs of today’s family and businesses without destroying the integrity of the structure. On this tour, the oldest home was built circa 1845, and the youngest home is circa 1943. One served as a school, one has grown from a 960-foot bungalow to a 2,112-squarefoot home and one is believed to be a 1929, Sears mail-order bungalow. The Smith house under restoration will host the CCPA Preservation Garden Shoppe full of gardening items, blown glass flowers, miscellaneous decorative items for the home, Johnson Mfg. tinware and post cards of vintage Urbana. The Taste of Champaign County raffle baskets will be displayed and winners awarded at

the end of the tour. The baskets contain items donated by area merchants and will total more than $1,000 in value. A guest appearance by Tom McNutt, retired Channel 4 garden expert, sponsored by the Robert Rothschild Farm, will be Sunday from 1 to 3 p.m. in the Brune garden. In addition to the tour sites, there will be period craft demonstrations and sales and entertainment at the tour sites throughout the weekend.

The common good and the wind turbine issue an opportunity for all to explore the values that motivate us, so that we can make decisions which are most holy and wise. For example, if I am for wind turbines, asking how wind turbines might hurt the common good asks me to consider my immediate neighbor. What is my primary motivation, a healthier earth and renewable energy for all or the thousands of dollars I gain by one or more turbines on my property. What about my neighbor, who will experience the negative sights, sounds and dangers that massive wind turbines offer? Considering the common good can be Jesus asking me to be honest about my unselfish motivation: generosity or a quick and easy buck?

Selfishness If I am against wind turbines, considering the common good calls me to move beyond selfishness, too. Aware that any transition to renewable energy will be costly, my opposition to turbines could expose a selfishness that says I want more sustainable forms of energy, but am unwilling to make the sacri-

fices necessary. Someone else, somewhere else can make them, just not me. As well, the principle of the common good calls both parties to work toward dialogue so that both are informed about what my neighbor is thinking or feeling. In such dialogue, we hear the Jesus’ voice of truth speaking and expose the deceit and evil of the Father of Lies, who is joyful when God’s children are sharply divided.

Courage and will The principles of Catholic Social Teaching can be found in a number of places, among them paragraph numbers 2401-2463 of the Catechism of the Catholic Church. If we have the courage and will, the teaching of Christ’s body, the church, allows us important opportunities for conversion and greater faith. By Jesus’ grace in the church, even modern problems and dilemmas can lead to increase in unity, holiness and hope. The writer is the pastor of the Petersburg Parishes: Immaculate Conception, Botkins; St. Joseph, Wapakoneta; and St. Lawrence, Rhine.

Vatican blames media for latest scandal — again BY NICOLE WINFIELD VATICAN CITY (AP) — The Vatican is blaming the media for fueling the latest scandal over leaked Vatican documents and is insisting that there are no power struggles or problems of unity in the Holy See’s governance. Secretary of State Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone told an Italian Catholic weekly that journalists reporting on the leaks scandal are “pretending to be Dan Brown … inventing stories and replaying legends.” The reference to Brown is particularly acute; Brown wrote “The Da Vinci Code,” the best-selling fictional account of power struggles and scandals inside the Vatican. The Vatican has been on the defensive ever since sensitive documents alleging corruption and exposing power struggles began appearing in the Italian media in January. A recent book containing dozens of documents from Pope Benedict XVI’s own desk has compounded what many see as a plot to undermine Bertone’s authority. In the interview with Familia Cristiana, Bertone said he enjoys “an extraordinary climate of communion” with his collaborators. “Personally, I don’t sense any sign of cardinals or church personalities being involved in any conquest of some phantom power,” he said. The interview is due on newsstands Thursday but was made available to journalists Monday. Bertone acknowledged he was at the center of the fray and that the scandal had pained him, but said he was heartened by having the “real church” by his side. He admitted the Holy See isn’t perfect and that “none of us wants

POPE BENEDICT XVI attends the opening day of Rome’s dioceses ecclesiastic meeting at St. John at the Lateran Basilica, in Rome, June 11. The pontiff called for his aides near and far to remain loyal to him as the Vatican copes with the fallout of a growing scandal over leaked documents. to hide the church’s shadows and defects.” But he said the media, the Italian media in particular, had gone too far and appeared to be trying to create divisions between the pope and his collaborators where there weren’t any. The leaks scandal broke in January when Italian journalist Gianluigi Nuzzi revealed letters from a former top Vatican administrator who begged the pope not to transfer him for having exposed alleged corruption that cost the Holy See millions of euros (dollars) in higher contract prices. The prelate was transferred and is now the Vatican’s U.S. ambassador.

The scandal widened over the following months with documents leaked to Italian journalists that laid bare power struggles inside the Vatican over its efforts to show greater financial transparency and comply with international norms to fight money laundering. The scandal reached a peak last month when Nuzzi published an entire book based on a trove of new documentation, including personal correspondence to and from the pope and his private secretary, much of which painted the Vatican secretary of state in a negative light. Several top Vatican officials have recently castigated the media for fueling the scandal, including Bertone’s predecessor, Cardinal Angelo Sodano, and the current administrator of the Vatican city state. Pope Benedict XVI himself has complained about media reports that “went well beyond the facts, offering an image of the Holy See that doesn’t correspond to reality.” The Vatican spokesman, the Rev. Federico Lombardi, spends much of his briefings denying media reports. So far only one person has been arrested in the case: the pope’s butler, Paolo Gabriele, a 46-yearold father of three who was arrested May 23 and accused of aggravated theft after reams of papal documents were found in his Vatican City apartment. Lombardi said Monday that so far a commission of cardinals investigating the leaks scandal had interviewed 23 people, including lay and clergy, Vatican superiors and employees. ___ Follow Nicole Winfield at www.twitter.com/nwinfield

Ulrich, Ball receive YMCA scholarships The YMCA has announced its scholarship recipients for 2012. Matthew Ulrich was awarded the Jim Lantz Memorial Scholarship and Abigail Ball the Lee Schauer Memorial Scholarship during a reception held May 24 at the Sidney-Shelby County YMCA. The reception was hosted by the YMCA for the scholarship winners and their families and friends. Also in attendance were current members of the YMCA Board of Trustees and Foundation Board of Trustees.

HONOR

Ulrich

Ball

Ball has chosen to attend the University of Cincinnati and pursue a degree in mechanical engineering. Ball has been a member of the SidneyShelby County YMCA since the age of 4. She credits the kinetics pro-

grams for instilling within her a strong sense of the character values: caring, honesty, respect and responsibility. Ball has completed close to 500 volunteer hours at the YMCA, and has also volunteered many hours through her involvement with Key Club, Student Government, National Honor Society and Big Brothers Big Sisters. The Scholarship Selection Committee found Ball to be a responsible and dedicated young woman who is committed to achieving her goals.

Her leadership skills, academic goals, and strong work ethic helped solidify her selection. The Schauer scholarship was established in 1990 in memory of Lee E. Schauer, who lost his life in an accident the summer before his senior year. Initially a one-time award of $1,000, the scholarship is now at a level of $8,000 as the result of a large endowment made to the YMCA by Lee’s parents, Ron and Marlys Schauer. They want to honor and perpetuate Lee’s memory in

Sidney with this scholarship as well as make a “significant difference” in the life of a college-bound senior. Ulrich is a 2012 graduate of Lehman Catholic high School. He plans to attend the University of Dayton where he will pursue an engineering degree. Ulrich has been a member of the National Honor Society, served as class officer, school ambassador and chapel sacristan. He played soccer and tennis all four years of high school and was captain of both teams. He

has volunteered his time with Big Brothers Big Sisters, the YMCA Splash program, Right to Life and his church. The Lantz scholarship was established in 2011 in memory of Jim Lantz, who lost his life in a car accident in high school. Lantz’s family established the scholarship with the hope of preserving his memory and being able to positively impact the lives of youth in our community.

Senior citizens are great targets for scam artists. So said Capt. Will Balling of the Sidney Police Department, who gave some tips to attendees at the carry-in lunch meeting of members of the Senior Center of Sidney and Shelby County. “If you are asked to send money for handling fees for money you have won, it’s a scam,” he said. “You should not pay anything for money won. Getting a call or email from a friend or relative requesting money to help pay for an accident while overseas — call that person first. If a person calls saying they are a bank employee noticing some activity in your checking account and would like for you to give them your account number for verification, call the bank and never give account numbers. The same goes for Social Security and Medicare. These offices do not call you. Do not pay door-to-door home repairmen asking for money up front.” John Scheu, superintendent of Sidney City Schools, and center Director David McKay served lunch to 88 members In other business: • Terry Pellman reported that a mentoring program for children 1317 on probation is in need of volunteers. Pellman said that mentors interact with youth for a ninemonth period. Partnering Alongside Teens for Hope and Healing Mentoring Program is operated by Sidney First United Methodist Church. Anyone interested should contact Pellman. • Decorating plates with fabric will be a new class at the center in August. JoAnne Covelli, the instructor, stated that each plate takes three days to complete. • Matt Kovacic reported Lifeline screening will be at the center Aug. 3. Members wanting to participate should sign up at the center. A donation of $10 per participant will be given to the center. Gail Austin won a drawing for a free screening. • Gina Boerger and Kristi Miller, of the Versailles Health Center, spoke of a program that is available for people with Parkinson’s disease. Winners of monthly drawings were as follows: attendance, Sandy Martin; birthday, Barb McDermott; and Milestone, Luella Roeth.

REPLAY 50 years ago June 21, 1962 Although Local 108 is higher in the standings, the Shelby County Labor Council held the advantage in the Union rivalry of the American Division of the D baseball league at Custenborder Park on Wednesday. Bob Echols twirled a no-hitter for the Shelby Council, fanning seven and walking two, with two others reaching first, one a hit batsman and the other on an error. The Labor Council took a fiverun lead in the fourth before going on a 12-run splurge in the fifth, helped by Bob Jones three-run homer.

25 years ago June 21, 1987 Sidney handed Miami East its first loss of the season in Acme baseball action Friday, beating the Vikings 8-4.

Indians return the favor After getting swept last week, they sweep Reds CLEVELAND (AP) — Justin Masterson pitched a three-hitter for his first complete game this season and the AL Central-leading Cleveland Indians finished a threegame sweep of the Cincinnati Reds with an 8-1 victory Wednesday night. Masterson (4-6) took a shutout into the eighth before the Reds ended the right-hander’s streak of consecutive scoreless innings at 18. He did not walk a batter and struck out nine, including the side in the ninth, for his fourth career complete game. Cincinnati’s run was unearned. Asdrubal Cabrera hit a three-run homer and Johnny Damon hit a two-run shot in the fifth inning off Bronson Arroyo (3-5). Lonnie Chisenhall added three RBIs for Cleveland. After losing three straight in Cincinnati last week, the Indians returned the favor on the Reds, who entered the series on a six-game winning streak. It was the first time the Reds and Indians had faced each other as first-place teams since 1999, and Masterson made sure Cleveland came out on top. The Reds did not get a runner to second against Masterson until the eighth. Cabrera booted Jay Bruce’s leadoff grounder to shortstop and Todd Frazier doubled with

CLEVELAND INDIANS' Asdrubal Cabrera, right, is congratulated by Lonnie Chisenhall and Shin-Soo Choo after Cabrera hit a three-run home run off Cincinnati Reds' Bronson Arroyo in the fourth inning in a baseball game on Wednesday in Cleveland. Chisenhall and Choo scored. one out. Willie Harris followed with an RBI groundout, the first run given up by Masterson since June 9 in St. Louis. Masterson capped the ninth by Joey Votta to look at the strike three. Masterson’s record may not show it, but he’s been one of Cleveland’s most consistent starters. This was his fourth straight quality outing, and for a change, the Indians gave him some run support. He had received two or fewer runs in his previous eight starts and the Indians were averaging just 2.95 runs per nine innings for him, the worst supin the AL and port

fourth-lowest in the majors. Other than hitting Chris Heisey with a pitch in the first inning, Masterson was in complete control of the Reds. He didn’t give up a hit until the fourth when Heisey pulled a single down the third-base line past Jack Hannahan, who was playing up on the infield grass and couldn’t reach it with a backhand dive. Votto singled in the seventh and Frazier’s double were all Cincinnati could muster against Masterson. He got some defensive help when catcher Lou Marson gunned down Heisey in the fourth and right fielder ShinSoo Choo raced back to snag

Scott Rolen’s drive in the fifth. After letting Arroyo off the hook in the first three innings, the Indians tagged him for five runs in the fourth as Damon and Cabrera homered. Damon, who came in batting just .190 but has been making contributions on and off the field, connected for his third homer to make it 2-0. Casey Kotchman singled with one out before the 38year-old Damon drove a 2-2 pitch over the wall in right. Damon, who missed all of training camp before signing with the Indians on April 17, has been showing signs of busting out of a prolonged slump.

Thunder vow to keep fighting MIAMI (AP) — Down 3-1 in the NBA Finals, history says the Oklahoma City Thunder aren’t coming back. Nobody has ever rallied from that deficit in the finals. Then again, few have erased a 2-0 deficit in any playoff series, and the Thunder did that just one round ago when they charged past the San Antonio Spurs. So don’t write off the Thunder just yet. “We didn’t get here just to make it here and say we made it to the finals. We want to come in here and we want to try to get a title,” Kevin Durant said Wednesday. “It’s all about, keep competing until that last buzzer sounds and that’s what we’re going to do. That’s the type of city we play for, a city that never gives up. That’s the

type of team we are.” The Miami Heat can wrap up their second NBA title with a victory Thursday in Game 5. If the Thunder win, they would get the series back to Oklahoma City, where they are 9-1 this postseason. “We’re not going to give up,” Durant said, though his quiet tone sounded more hopeful than defiant. “We’re going to keep fighting to the end and hopefully we can take this thing back to the crib.” That became a little tougher after James Harden bruised his left hand during the Thunder’s 104-98 loss on Tuesday. Already struggling through two miserable games in Miami, Harden sat out a portion of practice Wednesday to ice the hand but is expected to play Thursday.

The NBA’s Sixth Man of the Year has shot 2 of 10 in both games in Miami, falling to 13 for 37 (35 percent) in the series. He is averaging 10.8 points, six below his regularseason average. “It’s definitely frustrating when those shots get open and don’t go in, but you’ve got to continue to play,” Harden said. “Especially for a player like me, I rely on more than just shooting, on just scoring the basketball. Obviously that aspect of my game has to be picked up in order for us to win games.” Oklahoma City has had stretches where it clearly looks like the better team. The Thunder scored 58 secondhalf points in their Game 1 win, opened a 10-point lead in the third quarter of Game 3,

then burst to a 17-point cushion in the first 11-plus minutes of Game 4. Yet they’ve also had moments where their inexperience shows, both on the court and in the coach’s box. Coach Scott Brooks was criticized for keeping Durant and Russell Westbrook on the bench together too long in the third quarter of Game 3, and center Kendrick Perkins seemed to question his rotation pattern in Game 4, when Brooks stuck with the subs after the first unit’s quick start. “I don’t think the game comes down to who plays and who doesn’t play. It’s how we play,” Brooks said. “And I think the last couple of games, they made a few plays that we did not make, and it always comes down to that. .”

When: Sunday, June 24 TV: TNT (2:00 p.m. EST) Layout: 12-turn, 1.99-mile road course 2011 Winner: Kurt Busch Crew Chief’s Take: “Road races, particularly at Infineon, are strategy-fests. The trick is to count the laps backward, so a crew chief can calculate when to stop if the race comes down to a fuel-mileage battle. Sonoma is not as fast as Watkins Glen, so a driver must have a car that gets a lot of mechanical grip — and he must feel comfortable with that grip — to negotiate all 12 turns. If you want to get right down to it, the biggest key to winning in Sonoma is keeping all four wheels on the ground all the time, and the cream usually rises to the top.”

ries have broken winless skids of over 100 races. Joey Logano’s victory at Pocono snapped his 104-race slide (last win: June 28, 2009 at New Hampshire) while Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s triumph at Michigan was his first since another win at Michigan, which came on June 15, 2008 — a futility streak of 143 races. MOVIN’ ON UP Earnhardt’s win was his 19th career Cup Series victory. He is currently tied for 37th on the alltime wins list with Davey Allison, Buddy Baker and Fonty Flock, as well as contemporaries Carl Edwards and Denny Hamlin. Next on the list? Speedy Thompson, with 20 wins. Among active drivers in his sight and Jeff Burton and Bobby Labonte, with 21 apiece, and Matt Kenseth and Terry Labonte, with 22.

SAFE THAN SORRY In an ef3 BETTER fort to avoid a tire catastrophe on the level of Indianapolis 2008, NASCAR and Goodyear shipped in new compound left-side tires at Michigan on Saturday. Practice speeds on the repaved track were averaging north of 200 mph, prompting the reaction. The harder-compound tires shipped in lowered speeds, limiting some of the blistering that had been witnessed on Thursday and Friday. TITLE DEFENSE Since his 4 TOUGH win at Iowa Speedway on May 20, defending Nationwide Series champion Ricky Stenhouse Jr. has recorded finishes of 26th, 32nd and 25th. In that time, he’s slipped from first in the point standings with a 34point cushion, to third, 27 points behind leader Elliott Sadler.

Questions Answered

Dale Earnhardt Jr. breaks four-year skid, wins in Michigan By MATT TALIAFERRO Athlon Sports Racing Editor

Four years and 143 races. That’s how long it had been since NASCAR’s most popular driver, Dale Earnhardt Jr., had won a Sprint Cup Series race. In that time, the sport’s favorite son went from widely popular to widely questioned. The theories from fans and talking heads alike grew in relation to his winless skid: Would Earnhardt ever be a championship contender again? Heck, was he even capable of engineering a race win? Was he all “show” and no “go?” Had the surname simply carried him this far, to a cushy ride at stock-car behemoth Hendrick Motorsports? Was he the Anna Kournikova of NASCAR, or a great athlete slumping beneath the pressures of his singular situation? The answers, of course, are as elusively undetermined as the questions are radically rash and often unfair, borne out of ignorance of the sport, the driver and/or the circumstances that have shaped his career. But that comes with the territory when a legion of fans — residing within the sport and in the hazy midst of casual onlookers that value sticks ’n’ balls over gears ’n’ lugs — expect, then simply yearn, for results. Big-time results. Race-winning results. Results that are assumed when interest resides at a fever-pitch. That said, Earnhardt’s 2012 season has been more successful than most in the Sprint Cup ranks. A series-best 11 top 10s in the season’s first 14 races — including two runner-up and two third-place showings — found him second in the point standings. He and crew chief Steve Letarte have been on the brink of a return to Victory Lane, but until the Quicken Loans 400 at Michigan International Speedway, it had eluded them. On Sunday, that consistency was trumped by dominance, as Earnhardt led a race-high 95 laps en route to a nearly 4.5-second win over Tony Stewart.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. celebrates in Victory Lane after winning in Michigan.

It was a performance that harkened back to his six-win season in 2004. “I feel like we are getting stronger,” Earnhardt said of his team’s performance. “One of the things that we did last year throughout the season was kind of maintain, and I was a little — even though I was happy as hell to be with Steve and be able to run well and be competitive — I was a little disheartened that I didn’t progress through the year. I didn’t find more speed as the year went on. “This year, we have gotten faster throughout the year. We started off pretty quick and we have gotten quicker and quicker, especially these last couple weeks. So that’s been a thrill for me.” His No. 88 team certainly did not disappoint on Sunday. With a repaved racetrack, record speeds and new tires flown in to curtail blistering, the event had the feel of a perfect storm —a perfect storm of uncertainty, that is. But while other drivers came and went — Stewart, Greg Biffle and Matt Kenseth all spent time atop the pylon — Earnhardt’s crew took one big setup-adjustment swing in the early stages of the race and left the driver to

out the “ringers,” and this weekend at the 1.99mile road course in Sonoma, Calif., is no different. On the entry list for Sunday’s race include Boris Said (No. 32 FAS Lane Racing), Brian Simo (No. 30 Inception Motorsports), David Mayhew (No. 98 Phil Parsons Racing) and Robby Gordon, who will make his third Cup start of the 2012 season in a self-owned No. 7 Dodge. In the Nationwide Series ranks, Ron Fellows (No. 5 JR Motorsports), Jacques Villeneuve (No. 22 Penske Racing) and Max Papis (No. 33 Richard Childress Racing) are entered for the race at Road America. Nelson Piquet (No. 30 Turner Motorsports) and Miguel Paludo (No. 32 Turner Motorsports) will make their first NNS starts of 2012.

do the rest. It worked, as Earnhardt ascended to the point on lap 70 and remained there for 95 of the remaining 130 circuits. Now, with the long-awaited win behind him, the questions will shift to whether Earnhardt can maintain his winning ways. After all, following his last win in 2008 (which, ironically, came at Michigan International Speedway) his season slowly sputtered, from sitting as high as second in the championship standings to ultimately finishing a distant 12th. “You know, I feel like we want to win some more races before the Chase starts, obviously, and we’ll think about where we are points-wise when that all happens after Richmond,” he said. “But I don’t want to get too far ahead of myself. We have to go to Sonoma and figure out how to get around there and how to get my first top 10 at that place. We have a lot to accomplish this year.” How much the team accomplishes in the season’s 21 remaining events may well go a long way in answering questions, both fair and frivolous alike, about the driver.

I As NASCAR’s Silly Season — the annual rumor mill/swapping rides/hiring and firing period — approaches, some drivers bear watching, particularly those who are in a contract year. While most contracts are kept under wraps, the drivers believed to be in the final year of their contract include: AJ Allmendinger (Penske Racing), Aric Almirola (Richard Petty Motorsports), Kurt Busch (Phoenix Racing), Matt Kenseth (Roush Fenway Racing), Joey Logano (Joe Gibbs Racing), Jamie McMurray (Earnhardt Ganassi Racing), Ryan Newman (Stewart-Haas Racing), David Ragan (Front Row Motorsports), David Reutimann (Tommy Baldwin Racing), Regan Smith (Furniture Row Racing) and Martin Truex Jr. (Michael Waltrip Racing).

Classic Moments Sonoma The 1997 Save Mart Supermarkets 300 at the track then known as Sears Point Raceway was the last held on the old 2.52-mile configuration and the last to run 74 laps (186.5 miles). Beginning in ’98, the course would be reconfigured for the Winston Cup Series event, shifting to a 112-lap affair on the 1.949-mile layout (218.3 miles) that would be used until 2000. Mark Martin earned the pole in his No. 6 Roush Racing Valvoline Ford and led for all but five laps throughout the event. A caution thrown with 12 laps remaining bunched up the field, but Martin got the jump on Jeff Gordon — who had yet to win the first of his Cup-record nine road course races — and won the final road race of his career to this point. Gordon would go on to win the next six races held on road courses.

Athlon Fantasy Stall Looking at Checkers: Marcos Ambrose has totalled six top 5s and seven top 10s in eight career road course Cup starts. Pretty Solid Pick: Tony Stewart’s seven road wins are second among active drivers to Jeff Gordon’s nine. Good Sleeper Pick: The plate tracks and road courses are where defending racewinner Kurt Busch and his Phoenix Racing equipment are on equal footing with the big boys. Runs on Seven Cylinders: Points leaders Kenseth, Earnhardt and Biffle. Insider Tip: The one road ringer not already mentioned is Juan Pablo Montoya. So consider him now mentioned — and a threat on Sunday.

We’ve said all along that Earnhardt’s consistency warranted the top spot, but a lack of any wins kept him from it. Well, the 143-race national nightmare is over, and Junior can now lead the way. Replace the engine and start in the rear of the field? No problem for Chad Knaus and crew. They just handed the ball to J.J., who drove it to a fifth-place finish with blistered tires and an empty gas tank. Third-place runs at Dover and Michigan bookend a seventh at Pocono. Kenseth maintains his lead in the point standings heading to Sonoma, where neither he nor Earnhardt are ... well, good. Looked to be the class of the field on Sunday until lap 70, when Earnhardt took to the point and Biffle’s handling went away just slightly. Still, a fourth-place finish works in the grand scheme of things. Denny “Ghost Rider” Hamlin’s day went up in a blaze of glory after an accident on lap 134 at Michigan, capping an awful day for Joe Gibbs Racing. Continuing his roller-coaster type trend, Stewart records runs of third and second following consecutive 25th-place finishes. It’s all about the Chase, right Smoke? In 15 events, Bowyer and his Michael Waltrip Racing team have 12 finishes between fourth and 13th. Not bad considering it’s a bunch with a new crew chief and driver. Has averaged a 12.6-place finish in the five races since his Talladega win. It wasn’t until this time last season that his Penske Racing team really started to take off. His season has mirrored Tony Stewart’s 2011 run thus far: Nothing splashy, zero wins, very few laps led. That said, he’s still sixth in points and as we all know, it’s all about performing in the Chase. His seven-race top-10 streak has come “crashing” down to the tune of 29th- and 33rd-place finishes. Not that it matters if you don’t finish, but his 7.5-place average starting spot is best on circuit. Free-agent-to-be is making a strong case for his services in 2013. Free-agent-that-was made a strong case for his services last year but has failed to deliver in 2012. Keeping with the free agent theme, will Logano’s Pocono win convince JGR to re-sign him? Top 10s every three or four weeks won’t get Gordon anywhere near the Chase. Hard to blame engine issues on the driver. JGR needs to iron out some things at the shop.

Post 217 falls 10-3 to Lima Loramie’s Hoying has Sidney Post 217 lost 10-3 to Lima Legion in District Two baseball action Tuesday night at Custenborder Field. The loss dropped Post 217 to 5-15 on the season heading into the Dick Kuehn Wooden Bat Tournament in Cincinnati Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Sidney spotted Lima three runs in the top of the first. The hosts got

one back in the bottom of the first, then added another run in the fourth on three hits to cut the lead to 3-2. But Lima got two more runs in the fifth, then broke it open with four in the eighth. “We just haven’t been able to put a complete game together yet,” said Sidney coach Jason McLain. “We are still making a lot of errors

and not closing games out. Starting pitching has been good for us this year, but I’m looking for someone to step up and be our middle reliever. And we have to shore up our defense. You can’t make errors and expect to beat good teams like Lima. Post 217 got a single and a triple from Rusty Hodgson, a double from Alex White, and two hits

each from Dalton Bollinger and Nick Buchanan. Post 217 hit the ball well, getting at least one hit in eight of the nine innings. They finished with 11 hits in the game, five more than Lima. The team’s next home game will be on Wednesday against Gahanna, with game time set for 6 p.m. at Custenborder Field.

PORTS IN BRIEF OHSAA adds wheelchair S OSU spring game in Cincy? events to state track meet COLUMBUS — The Ohio High School Athletic Association (OHSAA) Board of Directors made a historic decision recently when it approved a recommendation to add eight wheelchair championship final events – four for boys and four for girls – to the OHSAA State Track and Field Tournament beginning in next spring. Wheelchair athletes in one boys division and one girls division will compete in the 100 meters, 400 meters, 800 meters and shot put, with participants wearing school uniforms and being awarded for individual honors, although they will not score points for their teams. Track and field is the first sport in which the OHSAA will include wheelchair athletes as part of a state tournament and makes Ohio one of approximately a dozen states to do so. “This is something we have talked about for some time now and I’m thrilled that our Board

Highlights of OHSAA decision • Separate championship final events for boys and girls will be held in the 100 meters, 400 meters, 800 meters and shot put. • Eight boys and eight girls will qualify for the state tournament in each event. • Each event at the state tournament will be a final. While athletes will be participating in school uniforms, only individual awards will be presented and athletes will not score points for their school team. • No separate finals will be held based on the division of the participating athletes’ schools. In other words, each event will combine athletes from Division I, Division II and/or Division III schools. of Directors has taken the formal step to make this a reality,” OHSAA Commissioner Daniel B. Ross said. “The executive committee of the Ohio Association of Track and Cross Country Coaches (OATCCC) has worked diligently to finalize the details and establish the parameters, and we are excited that the OHSAA will have the opportunity to make a positive impact on this group of studentoutstanding athletes and create lifetime memories.” During the regular season, all qualifying

wheelchair times in the 100, 400 and 800 and wheelchair distances in the shot put will be collected by the OATCCC, with the top eight male and top eight female times or distances in each event qualifying for championship final events at the state tournament. To qualify for the wheelchair events, athletes must have a permanent, physical disability and must be verified by a licensed physician. Participants must also meet all OHSAA and school eligi-

bility requirements. “I commend the Ohio High School Athletic Association and the state track and field coaches association for making this dream a reality for the athletes participating in Paralympic sport,” said Charlie Huebner, United States Olympic Committee Chief of Paralympics. A tentative schedule for the OHSAA State Track and Field Tournament on Saturday, June 8, 2013, has the girls and boys wheelchair division 100 meters taking place during the Division III tournament in the morning; the girls and boys wheelchair 400 meters during the Division II tournament in the early afternoon, and the girls and boys wheelchair 800 meters occurring during the Division I tournament late in the afternoon. The girls and boys wheelchair shot put will take place during the Division I field events that begin at either noon or 3:00 that afternoon.

Indian Lake picks McMahon ANNA — Tim McMahon, who resides in Anna, has b e e n named the new head girls basketball coach at Indian Lake H i g h School, it McMahon was announced recently. McMahon was the

junior varsity coach at Indian Lake the past two seasons. It will be his first head coaching job in basketball after serving as an assistant at a number of schools in the area. He coached both boys and girls basketball at Lehman, Botkins, Anna and Sidney high schools, and was also an assistant at Edison Community College.

“I’m very excited about it,” McMahon said. “It’s the opportunity I’ve been waiting for. We have some real good players coming back, and good junior and senior classes. So we’ll be okay. But we’ll play a tough schedule, with teams like Tecumseh and Tipp City.” McMahon has been busy with the girls this summer and expects to get about 30 games in by

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Ohio State University athletics officials say they are discussing playing the Buckeyes’ 2013 spring football game at Paul Brown Stadium in Cincinnati. The one-time move to the home of the NFL’s Cincinnati Bengals would come during renovations to Ohio Stadium. The school says resurfacing work will be going on at the stadium next spring after 1922-era coating and concrete are stripped from portions of the Columbus stadium’s A and C decks. A school spokesman said talks will continue with the Bengals and Hamilton County on the proposed move to 65,535-seat Paul Brown Stadium along Cincinnati’s riverfront. The Buckeyes have played one game in the stadium — a packed-house, hard-fought 23-19 victory over the University of Cincinnati in 2002, when Ohio State went on to a national championship.

Semifinal sites would rotate CHICAGO (AP) — People with firsthand knowledge of the decision tell The Associated Press the semifinals of a proposed college football championship would rotate between the major bowls and not be tied to traditional conference sites. They said Wednesday that under the plan, a selection committee would help pick the schools involved in a four-team playoff. These are the key elements BCS commissioners plan to present to university presidents for approval next week in Washington. The people spoke on condition of anonymity because the commissioners did not want to reveal many details before talking to their bosses.

Malkin wins Lindsey Award LAS VEGAS (AP) — Pittsburgh’s Evgeni Malkin has won the Ted Lindsay Award as the NHL’s top player in voting by his peers. The NHL scoring champion received the award Wednesday night at the league's postseason awards ceremony. Malkin had 50 goals and 59 assists, easily winning the NHL scoring title by 12 points over Tampa Bay’s Steven Stamkos, his fellow Lindsay Award nominee. Malkin's list of accomplishments included four five-point games. The Lindsay Award winner is chosen by an NHLPA vote. Malkin also beat out New York Rangers goalie Henrik Lundqvist. All three stars also are nominated for the Hart Trophy as the NHL MVP.

HEAD COACH Tod Kowalczyk instructs his team during the UT men’s basketball practice at Savage Arena on October 16, 2011. Toledo has been banned from the 2013 NCAA Tournament due to poor academic scores. Kowalczyk was not yet the coach when the academic issues occurred.

Toledo, UConn get postseason bans Among 10 penalized for poor academic scores INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Poor academic scores could create a very different kind of madness in March. A record 10 men’s basketball teams, including three-time national champion Connecticut, will be banned from next season’s NCAA tournament because of sub-par work in the classroom. UConn becomes the first BCS school to face a postseason ban in either of the two most prominent college sports based solely on the annual Academic Progress Rate scores, which were released Wednesday by the NCAA. Each of the schools fell below the mandated cutline of 900 on their four-year scores. The APR measures the classroom performance of every Division I team. This year’s data calculates rates from 2007-08 through 2010-11. Joining the Huskies on the sideline next March will be ArkansasPine Bluff, CaliforniaRiverside, Cal State Bakersfield, Jacksonville State, Mississippi Valley State, North CarolinaWilmington, Texas A&M-Corpus Christi, Toledo and Towson. “I think if a (BCS school) didn’t make it, it would look really bad,” Ohio University professor David Ridpath said last week. Ridpath is also past president of the

NCAA watchdog The Drake Group. All the banned teams, including Connecticut, face additional sanctions of losing a minimum of four hours of practice time per week, which must be replaced by academic activities. The penalties could create an unusual scenario for the seven affected conferences. Not only will UConn and the other teams be ineligible for NCAA play, but league officials could also rule them ineligible for the individual conference tournaments. If that happens, it could force changes in the tourney pairings. Big East presidents have already said any team ineligible for the NCAA tourney will not be allowed to compete in conference tournaments, including UConn. “We’ll have to adjust the bracket accordingly,” Big East associate commissioner for men’s basketball Dan Gavitt said Wednesday, noting the Huskies could still win an appeal to the Committee on Academic Performance. “Until CAP makes that final determination, we’re not going to have any comment. We wouldn’t change the brackets. We would accommodate it in such a way that it would work. We would just have to eliminate a game and move someone up on

the line.” None of this came as a surprise to Connecticut, which had a four-year score of 889 and lost an appeal to the NCAA for a waiver that would have allowed it to play in next year’s tourney. School officials contend that if the NCAA used the team’s two most r recent scores, 826 in 2009-10 and 978 in 2010-11, UConn’s twoyear score would be 902 and argued that school’s self-imposed changes are already producing better academic results. Other conferences face more uncertainty. Two leagues, the Southwestern Athletic Conference and Colonial Athletic Association, each have two teams facing postseason bans. Four others — the Big West, Mid-American, Ohio Valley and Southland — all have one team on the list. They have not yet said what they will do with the ineligible teams. But the penalties could have a significant impact. “If there’s one, two, three four different teams in any given conference, it would have a major impact in how the bracket, how the tournament is run, ticket sales, television exposure,” Gavitt said “I think that’s the goal of the presidents — to make the penalties more impactful, more meaningful.”

TEACHERS

Locker has seen changes in students, also. “Many are not as focused on learning because their time is so divided by all the out-of-school activities they are in,” he said. “Also, because of the computerized games around today, some students think they have to be entertained by the teacher. I also see an increased level of stress in today’s students because so much more is demanded of them. What we are required to teach keeps getting pushed to lower grade levels.” The most difficult part of being a teacher for Locker are the students he was not able to help. “Without a doubt, the most difficult aspect of being a teacher is that in a class of 29 students ... in spite of the 28 successes I might have.” he said, he is still bothered by the one student “I couldn’t reach for whatever reason. That’s the kind of success rate any business would love, but good teachers feel they were less than successful because of that one.”

Favorite memories Locker’s favorite memories are students who understand a concept. “When you see that smile on a kid’s face because they finally get it. That, to me, is what always reminded me why I do what I do for a living,” he said. Locker did not teach his own children. “I would always make sure they were in another teacher’s room because I knew I would be too hard on them and expect too much,” he said. His first year as a teacher, Locker taught at Kettlersville. If he had been in Anna that year, he would have taught his youngest brother. Locker and his wife, Janice, who taught first grade for 35 years in Botkins, are the parents of four children, Kirk, Katie, Kevin and Kreg. They are also the grandparents of Lizzie, who is 3 1/2. A second grandchild is expected in July. They are have a cat, Shopie. The Lockers live in Anna. Locker has some advice for future teachers: “Learn as much as you can in as many different areas as you can ... in your student-teaching experience, ask questions constantly and continue to ask questions once you

start teaching on your own. Don't think you ever know it all. “To my former students, I say, you are capable of so much. Seek enjoyment in life. Don’t ever let anyone tell you, you can’t do something. ... I am still in the community. I love to talk to my former students, to know how things are going for you, to celebrate with you your success.” To his fellow teachers, Locker said, “I have always been blessed to have worked with some outstanding people. To those still in the profession, I say, don’t be afraid to fight for what you know is right in educating your students. Don’t ever forget how invaluable what you do as a profession is to the world you live in.”

‘Totally blessed’ “Unlike many teachers who retire not really knowing what they are going to do with their time, I feel totally blessed that God has called me into the ministry as I currently serve as the pastor of the Methodist churches in Botkins and Anna. I also plan to come back at least for next year and coach cross country and track at Anna,” Locker said. He also plans to spend time with his wife traveling. Locker also enjoys running, singing with the Uncalled Four and woodworking. “They say you’re not supposed to talk about faith in the public school, but I always felt that my faith in the God I love would not allow me to act in a way unbecoming to the kind of person God has desired me to be,” he said. “I hope that was a good role model for my students. I hope, though not in words, the fact I am a Christian was obvious.”

‘My school’ “I graduated from Anna in 1973, so to be able to come back to ‘my school’ and give back what was given to me was a dream come true. ... We are fortunate in this area with the support for education. ... We have been so fortunate to have had the financial resources and the good management ... when you couple that with the wonderful folks we have working in the school system, then you have a recipe for success both in the classroom and in the athletic arena ... having been a small part of that,” Locker said, as a teacher and coach, “I retire with no regrets, feeling like I gave my best, trying to make at least a small difference in some young person’s life.” Looking back at his first year of teaching, Locker said, he “wonders how those kids survived. ... I learned three things very quickly. I needed to make sure ... that my students knew I cared about them and would do my best to make sure they would succeed; second, I needed to try and instill in them that same desire to care for each other, and third, I needed to try and stress to my students the idea that learning is a lifelong process.”

Locker said his parents taught him to give back. “My memories of Anna involve my mom working so hard with the ladies of the church as she still does. My dad served on the town council and as mayor of Anna and when he passed away last August, the community knew it had lost a great servant. Anna will always be home and I will always try to give back as they did,” he said. Being chosen as one of the grand marshals for the parade is an honor for Locker. “When I was asked to be the grand marshal for this year’s Homecoming, I was overwhelmed and thrilled to be sharing it with Connie Smith. We started at Anna together and Connie is such an outstanding teacher and person. It is so humbling to think that the people of the Anna community would want to recognize my years of service to the community I grew up in for most of my life and love so dearly. I take this as not only being about me, but about all the teachers that have given so much to this school over the years.”

‘Loved children’ Smith began teaching because she “loved children” and has also seen changes in education. “The use of technology. When I began teaching, we used slide projectors and now we have computers and smart boards. ... I have seen that students are more advanced in technology when entering kindergarten. You could always tell which students had experience using a computer and those students became my helpers when the class had to practice typing their name and letters on the computer." If she could change something in education, Smith said, it would be “the speed of teaching and learning that is necessary to meet the number of requirements and standards expected from our young children today.”

IVY WELSH, 12, of Anna, gives her teacher, Randy Locker, of Anna, a hug after putting a tie on him at Anna Elementary during a goodbye ceremony May 24. Ivy is the daughter of Nicole and Dwight Welsh. Locker, who was known for his collection of neckties, received them as goodbye gifts from students. the parents of Lora, Adam and Andrew. They have two grandchildren, Noah, 2, and Eden, 3 months. They have a dog named Rugar. The couple reside in the Lewistown area. Smith recommends education to those wanting a career if “you love children and have patience for all learning capabilities” and she has some advice for future teachers: “Have lots of patience and set a good example. If you want your students to work hard, then you have to work hard.”

Message The retiring kindergarten teacher has a message for her students: “I will miss them all, but .. continue to show love to others, as that is the first sight word that my kindergarteners learn in my class; to always work hard, do their very best and to continue to be readers and writers." Smith said she will

miss her fellow teachers. "I will definitely miss them also, but....continue to grow as a teacher, sharing and working together.” The former Anna teacher said she has plans to stay busy. She and her husband recently moved to the country and she plans to spend time landscaping and spending time with her grandchildren. Smith enjoys gardening, sewing, walking, cooking and being outdoors.

Faith “My faith has guided me in my daily activities with the students through teaching them how to be kind, respectful and loving to others," Smith said. Smith said being a teacher has impacted her life. “I have been changed through all the relationships that I have developed along the way, seeing many of my very

first students’ children coming into my classroom, knowing that I had a part in shaping every one of their lives.” she said. Smith said being chosen as a grand marshal for the Anna Homecoming parade left her feeling “surprised, shocked and privileged,” and she said Anna means a lot to her.

Proud “The Anna community represents support and involvement,” she said. “During my entire career in the Anna School District, the community has always strongly supported the school system with parents and teachers being actively involved in the student’s futures. I am proud to have been a part of this supportive structure for the kids.” Jan Poppe, of Anna, also retired this year after serving the Anna system as a bus driver for 33 years.

Parents’ support “We are really fortunate to have such supportive parents in the Anna school system. Our parents have always been very supportive of our school. Many times I would have two to three volunteers helping in the classroom weekly. Without the parental support, we could not accomplish everything we do. The parents are spectacular and have been a blessing,” Smith said. “The most difficult part of being a teacher is keeping up with all the changes and having the responsibility of each student’s learning and firstyear experience.” But, Smith said, “Moving from the grange building to the new school and feeling more inclusive with the rest of the staff and students” is her favorite memory. Smith did not teach her own children, who attended Botkins Local Schools. Smith and her husband, Bruce, who works at Airstream, are

would provide “I schools with all the money they need, so good programs that help kids learn would not get cut because funding for the school went down,” Locker said. Overall, Locker believes parental support is still present in rural schools, unlike where his son teaches. “In the city, where my youngest son teaches, parents question everything a teacher does,” he said. “It used to be parents were in full support of the teacher. Now they seem to be in full support of their children and ready to blame the teacher and school system if something doesn’t go their child's way. I realize there are poor teachers as there are poor workers in every field, but for the most part, our schools have excellent teachers who do their best when they are supported by the parents. When I was in school, if I got in trouble at school, I was in more trouble from my parents when I got home.”

Alcohol intake is something best left to the patient and the patient’s doctor. A moderate amount of alcohol — one drink a day for women and two for men

— is often tolerated. With greater intakes of alcohol, the risk of undoing seizure control rises. Your son needs to follow his doctor’s instructions on this explicitly. DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I am distraught. My best friend’s son has come out to his family as gay. I was as close to the boy as his parents are. What causes this? — V.T. ANSWER: No one has the definitive answer to the causes of sexual orientation. It’s not a matter of the individual making a choice. It’s something that a person is born with. Don’t be distraught. This young man is the same person you have known for so long and have felt so close to.

have been worth it. When a relationship becomes one-sided and counseling can’t resolve the conflicts, divorce is the answer. Because of the years of domestic abuse you endured, I hope you will consider counseling so your future relationships will not be adversely affected by your long, unhappy marriage. DEAR ABBY: My daughter, “Tammi,” is attending college in a neighboring state. When I text or call her, she doesn’t respond. I have asked her to please just text me back saying she’s OK. She says my texting her once a day is “overkill” and I should stop doing it so often — once a week is often enough. I feel it is disrespectful of Tammi not to respond to my texts, even

June 21, 1912 Did it rain? Foolish question. Commencing about 5 a.m. for about an hour enough water fell to dampen the earth considerably. Ceasing until just about church time and starting soon enough and continuing long enough to trap the honest church folks in the churches until after dinner time. Ole Pluvius more than dampened the earth — he soaked it. Government observer, Hamblin Blake reported 2.41 inches of rain fell, flooding many areas and putting a definite end to the prolonged drought. ––––– Re-elected as Grand Mistress of Records and Correspondence by the Grand Temple of Pythian Sisters in session at Canton last week, Miss Ella Given of this city returned last evening to enter upon her 21st year of service in that capacity. ––––– It cost more to live in this, the month of June 1912, than ever before in the history of the United States, except perhaps during wartime. Prices were high a year ago, but today they are on the average of nearly 10 per cent higher yet.

with a simple “OK” or “fine.” She texts her friends all the time, so I don’t think five seconds is too much to ask of her. I’m willing to compromise and text Tammi every other day or every three days. She is my only child and I want to know that she is well. Am I being unrealistic or asking too much? — TAMMI’S MOM IN NEW JERSEY DEAR MOM: Tammi may be your only child, but she’s a young woman now, and she needs room to grow up and establish some emotional independence. What you’re demanding is an example of helicopter parenting. If you are worried for your daughter’s safety, ask her to carry a card in her wallet identifying you as the person to be notified in case of an emergency.

June 21, 1937 In the second of a series of articles on reemployment in Sidney industries it was found that the Wagner Manufacturing Company has had a steady employment record for the past 10 years. The local manufacturer of fine cooking utensils has 387 employees from the community and an average weekly payroll of $10,000. Even during most of 1933 the company had 200 working at least three days per weeks, and during the last three years 187 employees have been added. ––––– At the regular monthly meeting of the Shelby County Auto Dealers Association, held at Riverside Inn, Sidney, the officers for the coming year were chosen and are as follows: John McConnell, president; Wilbur Langhorst, vice-president; Joseph J. Gilardi, secretary; A.G. Langhorst, treasurer. On the Board of Directors are: Raymond H. Peltier, Russia; A.H. Ernst, Fort Loramie; T.A. Faulder, Sidney; A.J. Breslin, Sidney; and B.D. Heck, Sidney. ––––– Active work is being done toward making the Shelby County Fair the biggest and best fair ever held. Plans are made for a fine lot of horse racing, a full lot of exhibits. One of the outstanding plans made is the arrangement to give away three automobiles, one each day of the fair, in the price range of the Ford, Chevrolet, of Plymouth or three cash prizes of $500.

50 years June 21, 1962 The City Playground program will be introduced at Sidney’s six play center next week under the leadership of Bob

Westerbeck. Rebecca Crimm will teach arts and crafts at the playgrounds. Tennis will be taught by Doug Millhoff, a former high school standout. Doug captained the Capital University’s and will be at Julia Lamb courts all day. He will give local youth an opportunity to spend more time in perfecting their game. ––––– A group of athletes held a reunion recently at the home of Lloyd Cromes home, marking the 25th anniversary of their unbeaten conquests of Miami Valley League honor in football, basketball, and track at Sidney High School during the 1937-38 school term. Present for the reunion from out of town were Thomas Rhees, Rodney Oldham, Woolweaver, Herbert Henry Redinbo, R.J. White, Robert Barr, Huber Smith, Donald Beer, Carl Engle, and James Clark. Those from Sidney were: William Zorn, Frank Redinbo, Marion Russell, Floyd Runyon, Leonard Kerns, Wayne Rickey, Clarence Carey and Norris Cromes. ––––– Jackie Behm considers herself real lucky —she found a six-leaf and several five-leaf clovers in her backyard. Jackie found the clovers along with many four-leaf clovers by the swing set when she was helping mow the lawn. She says she intends to keep them just in case this year turns out to be as unlucky as last year — she cut her foot on a tin can and was unable to swim the whole year.

25 years June 21, 1987 Patricia Everett and Brenda Hall, teachers at Longfellow and Emerson Elementary School, have been participating this year as Martha Holden Jennings Foundation Scholars. The Foundation is committed to recognizing excellent in Ohio’s public. Teachers are nominated by their superintendents and participate in six events as part as the 1986-87 Scholar Lecture Series. ––––– The most Valuable Player of the Sidney High School softball team went to standout pitcher Laura Watkins, who in two years on the team has compiled a 47-6 record. She also won for having the highest batting average. ––––– Sidney High School student council representatives announced at the commencement exercises Sunday afternoon that Megan Wolfinger was the 1986-87 recipient of the senior of this year’s scholarship award.

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.
