TODAY’S THOUGHT “Journalists were never intended to be the cheerleaders of a society, the conductors of applause, the sycophants. Tragically, that is their assigned role in authoritarian societies, but not here — not yet.” — Chet Huntley (19111974)
BRUSSELS (AP) — Working almost to exhaustion and persuading countries one by one, European leaders agreed Friday to redefine their continent — hoping that by joining their fiscal fortunes they might stop a crippling debt crisis, save the euro currency and prevent worldwide economic chaos. Only one country said no: Britain. It will risk isolation while the rest of the continent plots its future. The coalition came together in a marathon negotiating session among the 27 European Union heads of government — hard bargaining that began with dinner Thursday evening and ended after 4 a.m., when red-eyed officials appeared before weary journalists to explain their proposed treaty. It was a major step forward in the long, postwar march toward European integration. It was two decades ago, on Dec. 9 and 10, 1991, that European negotiators drafted a treaty in Maastricht, Netherlands, to unite their politics, create a central bank and, one day, invent a common currency. Friday’s agreement — 23 countries are in favor and three more say they are open to the idea — would force countries to submit their budgets for central review and limit the deficits they can run. The hope is that it will stem a crisis over sovereign debt that consumed Greece, spread to Ireland, Italy, Portugal and Spain, and threatens to explode into a worldwide financial crisis capable of pushing the global economy into recession. “This is the breakthrough to the stability union,” German Chancellor Angela Merkel said. “We are using the crisis as an See EUROPE/Page 5A
State Rep. Adams to seek re-election State Rep. John Adams, RSidney, announced Friday his plans to seek re-election as representative of the 85th Ohio House District — which will include all of Champ a i g n Adams County and portions of Shelby and Logan counties — during the upcoming General Assembly Adams noted that during this 2011 legislative session he helped the Ohio House to balance an $8 billion budget deficit without raising taxes on Ohioans, while concurrently helping to reduce the regulatory and tax burden on businesses. In order to help the state of
Ohio take advantage of its homegrown natural resources, Adams also sponsored House Bill 133 to create the Oil and Gas Leasing Commission and establish a procedure for leasing state-owned lands for safe oil and gas extraction. “As a father and smallbusiness owner, representing our communities is very personal for me,” Adams said. “Ohio is at a crossroads, and the decisions we make — or don’t make — will affect our families and our businesses for years to come. Lawmakers need to understand the importance of tackling the difficult issues today, regardless of how easy or entrenched the status quo might be. I hope to be able to represent the 85th District in the Statehouse because I know that I will not See ADAMS/Page 3A

Cold for a cause Joe Laber, from Hits 105.5, had to strip down to his boxers during the Salvation Army’s Stuff the Bus Toy Drive in front of Sidney Walmart on Friday. He continued to broadcast wearing only Snoopy slippers, his boxers and a T-shirt for an hour from 1 to 2 p.m. following a bet from last year’s Stuff the Bus when his side of the bus wasn’t as full as the other side.
Church plans Winter Market Though the harvest season is over, a local church plans to rekindle Sidney’s popular farmer’s market, giving it a wintertime twist. The Winter Market at First Christian Church, set to debut Dec. 17, is being scheduled as a once-a-month opportunity for area residents to stay connected with their favorite vendors from the Great Downtown Sidney Farmer’s Market operated from June to October by the Sidney-Shelby County Chamber of Commerce. In addition, according to the Rev. Phil Chilcote, the market will introduce seasonal shoppers to several new vendors. The Winter Market is currently scheduled for every third Saturday from December through April, with the possibility of an event in May if the downtown market does not extend its season to begin earlier in 2012. Familiar vendors at the market will include Barb Kuck, who plans to offer bread and other baked goods as she does during the downtown market. “I’ve been to a winter market in larger cities and even though it’s once a month, it is something that people can look forward to, and a way to stay connected with their customers who want their product but wouldn’t otherwise be able to get it unless you know them personally,” Kuck said. Hours for the event will be 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Organizers for the market at First Christian Church, located at 320 E. Russell Road, have secured more than one dozen vendors planning to offer baked goods, jams and jellies and crafts, among other items, and additional vendors are welcome. In addition, the Shelby County Massage Therapy group will be set up at the market. Chilcote said that although the idea for the market was originally to offer a platform for those vendors already familiar to Sidney residents, the indoor setting opens the door for some vendors offering seasonal items that can’t be offered during the traditional season. Kuck said the market would be a great place for someone selling wool and other fibers, meat products fresh from the farm and other “nontraditional” items not currently being offered. Gardeners with hot houses would be welcome to sell produce as well. See MARKET/Page 3A

SUBWAY HAS opened at a new location at 1240 Wapakoneta Ave.
Subway opens at new site BY JENNIFER BUMGARNER jbumgarner@sdnccg.com Subway held a grand opening Friday at its new location at 1240 Wapakoneta Ave. Subway was once in the Clark station on Wapakoneta Avenue and closed on Nov. 30. Part of the reason for the move was to provide more seating and parking for its customers. “We have seating for 43 people and two entrances,” said owner Paresh Patel. “We have more parking spaces and in the spring we plan on opening outdoor patio seating.” Subway is owned by Patel and Raj Patel. This month in honor of its grand opening, there are several deals that the store is providing. For breakfast, the business has buy-one, get-one-free deals for 6inch regular sandwiches. “All regular footlongs are $5 each all month,” said Patel. “Also for the whole month, three regular footlongs are $9.” The business will be open Monday through Friday from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. The lobby will close at 10 p.m. but the drive-through will still be open. Hours are from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. on Saturday, with the lobby closing at 10 p.m., and on Sunday it will be open from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m., with the lobby closing at 9 p.m. With the move to a new location, the owners of the Clark station are working to fill the space vacated by Subway. The station now has a drivethrough available for any of the items in the convenience store. “The drive-through is open for anything that can be purchased in the store,” said owner Bob Fingh. “We’ll be getting more items in the store.” The station will also be doing some minor remodeling as it adds items.

Board finishes recount The Shelby County Board of Elections completed a recount Friday of votes cast by county residents who are eligible to decide ballot issues concerning the Miami Valley Career Technical Center (MVCTC) in Clayton. There are 11 such residents in Shelby County, six of whom cast ballots in November on an MVCTC levy issue. According to Dawn Billing, director of the Board of Elections, the result of the recount was the same as the initial count following the Nov. 8 election: two votes in favor of the levy, four against. Billing noted that recounts were called for in all the counties served by the MVCTC. Besides Shelby, that includes Butler, Champagne, Darke, Miami, Montgomery, Preble and Warren counties. Counties have a certain time frame within which to accomplish recounts, Billing said, so final results of the full recount are not yet known. The original issue was a 10-year, 2.18-mill replacement levy that would cost the owner of a $100,000 home $12 per year.

DeWine wants Election law repeal foster-care review to appear on ballot BY DAN SEWELL Associated Press CINCINNATI (AP) — Ohio’s attorney general said Friday he wants a comprehensive review of the state’s foster care system that takes a look at child safety and the high number of children remaining in the system until they reach the age limit. Mike DeWine led a child safety summit Friday in Cincinnati, where a 2-year-old boy recently was beaten to death after being returned to his birth parents from foster care. His father has pleaded not guilty to murder charges. The case is one of several across the state in recent years. DeWine said he wants to be sure the child’s best interests always come first in family reunification cases. He said there are other issues for scrutiny about child safety and well-being. “Too many children are languishing in foster care with no real hope of ever having a permanent, loving home,” DeWine said. He said children in foster care in Ohio stay in the system until they reach the age limit of 18 at higher rates than in other states. Two years ago, 1,453 Ohio foster children, or 15 percent of the state’s foster care population, left the system because they had reached 18. The national average is 11 percent. Representatives of social agencies, law enforcement, advocacy groups and adoption agencies took part in Friday’s
BY JULIE CARR SMYTH Associated Press Ohio COLUMBUS, (AP) — The fate of a suspended Ohio election law that shortens the early voting period won’t get decided until after next year’s presidential election. The state’s top election chief said Friday that opponents of the law, who include Democrats and Barack President Obama’s re-election campaign, have met the necessary requirements to get a repeal question before voters on Election Day next November. Supporters praised the ruling by Secretary of State Jon Husted that’s seen as a victory for Democrats in a key presidential battleground AP Photo/Cincinnati Enquirer, Carrie Cochran, File state. “The voters are sendIN THIS Oct. 24 file photo, Latasha Tye, the woman who fostered DeMarcus Jackson, is consoled outside of the Hamilton County Justice Center in Cincinnati.

ing a message to the Ohio politicians and legislatures across the country — voting rights restrictions will not be tolerated by the people,” said Greg Moore, campaign manager of Fair Elections Ohio, a coalition of Democrats and others who collected signatures to get the repeal attempt before voters. Former Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner, who has been a leader in the effort, pledged a robust campaign. Mike Dittoe, a spokesman for RepubliHouse Speaker can William Batchelder, said the election law changes, passed as House Bill 194, create “significant positive reforms and modernization of Ohio’s antiquated elections system.” “House Bill 194 increases voter access, saves significant taxpayer dol-
lars by streamlining board of election operations, and ensures voting accuracy and integrity through technological enhancements. How can anyone be against common-sense good government policies like that?” he said. Opponents of the law contend it would lead to longer lines and make it difficult for working people to cast a ballot. An extended voting period is perceived as increasing opportunities for Hispanics, blacks, new citizens and poor people to vote by giving them more chances to make it to the polls. Transportation is often an issue, and many find it difficult to get around their work schedules, child care or other responsibilities to cast ballots on a single day. Those groups traditionally support Democrats.

event. DeWine plans more regional meetings around the state on child safety. DeWine, involved in child-protection legislation while a U.S. senator, said there tends to be attention paid only when there’s a child tragedy. “This is really about fact-finding and getting a public discussion going,” he said in an interview. “It’s not that I have all the solutions, but nothing but good can come out of this.”
The Republican hopes state legislators, members of Congress, foster parents, former foster children and other members of the public will take part in future forums. County and local agencies, some private, are involved in foster care, and the system falls under the state Department of Job and Family Services — DeWine’s office has authority over criminal and other legal issues.
LAREDO, Texas (AP) — In one of the poorest counties in the U.S., neighbors still pitied Rachelle Grimmer and her children. Grimmer would walk down the highway after midnight and beg closing crews at restaurants for food they planned to throw away. Her children, 12-year-old Ramie and 10-year-old Timothy, didn’t go to school. They bathed outside the family’s trailer with the garden hose. Timothy wore the same camouflage shorts day after day. Grimmer didn’t have a job, and the state had denied the family food stamps and emergency help despite repeated requests. Tragic shootings
sometimes come without warning, but interviews with family members and neighbors show there were many signs of frustration before Grimmer entered a state welfare building with a .38-caliber handgun earlier this week and shot herself and her children after a seven-hour standoff. Ramie died Wednesday night at a San Antonio hospital; her brother was taken off life support Thursday and died. They led a miserable, nomadic life leading up to the standoff — which Ramie live-updated on Facebook with an eerie mix of detachment (“im bored”) and dread (“may die 2day”).

Drug patch approved ADELPHI, Md. (AP) — A panel of federal health advisers said Friday that a birth control patch from Johnson & Johnson probably carries a higher risk of blood clots than older drugs, but should remain available as an option for women who have trouble taking a daily pill. The Food and Drug Administration’s panel of reproductive health experts voted 19-5 that the benefits of the Ortho Evra patch outweigh its risks, specifically a potentially higher risk of dangerous blood clots in the legs and lungs. Panelists said the patch can be especially useful for younger women who have difficulty sticking to a daily pill regimen.
Climate deal debated DURBAN, South Africa (AP) — Negotiators from Europe, tiny islands threatened by rising oceans and the world’s poorest countries sought to keep alive the only treaty governing global warming and move to the next stage, struggling against an unlikely alliance of the United States, China and India. Bleary-eyed delegates worked through the night and all day Friday, and the two-week U.N. conference stretched past the hour it was supposed to end, with the negotiators looking ahead to a second and final night of meetings expected to last until dawn Saturday. Delegates from the 194party conference are trying to map out the pathway toward limiting global emissions of greenhouse gases for the rest of this decade, and then how to continue beyond 2020.
Condemned to death NEW HAVEN, Conn. (AP) — A jury condemned a man to death Friday for killing a woman and her two daughters during a night of terror in their suburban home, a gruesome crime that evoked comparisons to Truman Capote’s “In Cold Blood” and halted momentum to abolish the death penalty in the state. The jury took five days to deliberate defense attorneys’ request to spare the life of Joshua Komisarjevsky in light of abuse he suffered as a boy. Komisarjevsky, who will join his accomplice, Steven Hayes, on Connecticut’s death row, stood rigidly with his arms behind his back and had no visible reaction.

Man fakes mom’s obit for time off BROOKVILLE, Pa. (AP) — Authorities in northwestern Pennsylvania say a man published an obituary for his living mother in a ploy to get paid bereavement time off from work. Relatives called The Jeffersonian Democrat newspaper in Brookville after the obit appeared to report the woman was actually alive and well. The woman herself then visited the paper. Brookville police charged 45-year-old Scott Bennett on Tuesday with disorderly conduct. Democrat editor Randy Bartley says he accepted the obituary in good faith after being unable to confirm the funeral arrangements at press time. He told The Derrick newspaper on Friday that the woman was very understanding.

House GOP introduces bill renewing payroll tax cut BY RICARDO ALONSO-ZALDIVAR Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — House Republicans unveiled a bill Friday renewing the Social Security payroll tax cut and extending but trimming unemployment benefits but barreled toward a showdown with President Barack Obama by including language jumpstarting work on a controversial oil pipeline. With Democrats claiming the measure is too stingy toward jobless and lower-income people, next week’s House vote looms as the opening scuffle in a year-end battle that will let each party spotlight its economic priorities ahead of November’s presidential and con-
gressional elections. The two parties generally agree on the bill’s pillars: preventing the Jan. 1 expiration of payroll tax cuts and of extra coverage for the long-term unemployed, and avoiding a mandated cut in payments the government sends doctors for treating Medicare patients. But the GOP tax cut and jobless benefits are less generous than Democrats want. And Republicans ignore the White House’s preference to finance the bill by boosting taxes on millionaires, instead paying their bill’s price tag — more than $180 billion — by extracting money from federal workers, boosting federal fees and requiring higher-earning seniors to pay more for Medicare.
“This package does not include everything Republicans would like, nor does it have all that Democrats have called for,” said House Speaker John Boehner, ROhio. “But it is a win for the American people and worthy of the president’s signature.” White House spokesman Jay Carney derided the GOP package, saying, “Their plan seeks to put the burden on working families while giving a free pass to the wealthiest and big corporations by protecting their loopholes and subsidies.” Some GOP proposals — for example, charging some seniors more for Medicare, freezing civil servants’ pay and raising some federal fees — are similar to past proposals by Obama.
Police ID gunman BLACKSBURG, Va. (AP) — A part-time college student at a small school near Virginia Tech was identified Friday as the gunman who shot a police officer to death and then Ashley killed himself, triggering a lockdown on a campus still coping with the nation’s worst mass slaying in recent memory. The day before the shootings, police said Ross Truett Ashley, 22, stole a sport utility vehicle at gunpoint from a real estate office in Radford. He dumped the car on the Virginia Tech campus. Authorities have not been able to say what led Ashley to kill a police officer he did not know at a school he had never attended. “That’s very much the fundamental part of the investigation right now,” state police spokeswoman Corrine Geller said Friday at a news conference. Police said Ashley walked up to patrolman Deriek W. Crouse and fired, then took off for the campus greenhouses, ditching his pullover, wool cap and backpack. He made his way to a nearby parking lot and when a deputy spotted him, he took his own life. Ashley was a business management major at Radford, the school said on its website. He was from Partlow, Va., about 160 miles northeast of Virginia Tech. In Radford, he lived in a second-floor apartment above a yogurt shop, consignment store, barber shop and a tattoo parlor.
EUROPE From Page 1 opportunity for a renewal.” To prevent excessive deficits, countries in the treaty will have to submit their national budgets to the European Commission, the executive body of the EU, which will have the power to send them back for revision. They must also bring their budgets close to balance. Except in special circumstances, the budget deficit of a country won’t be able to exceed 0.5 percent of gross domestic product, the amount of goods and services produced by its economy. An unspecified “automatic correction mechanism” would punish the rule-breakers. Germany and France insist that fiscal union is the best way to regain market trust, badly shaken by the escalating financial crisis. Most economists think it will not be enough. They say the euro countries also need enough money to guarantee that they can pay the massive debts that have resulted from running budget deficits year after year. Euro leaders put off until March a decision on whether to provide money on top of a 500 billion, or $668 billion, bailout fund for euro countries.

RESCUE WORKERS use ropes to evacuate people after a fire engulfed a hospital in Kolkata, India, Friday. A fire swept through a hospital, trapping many and sending emergency workers scrambling to evacuate patients and medical staff from the smoke-filled building, officials said.
Fire at Indian hospital kills 89 as staff flees BY MANIK BANERJEE Associated Press KOLKATA, India (AP) — Fleeing medical staff abandoned patients to a fire that killed 89 people Friday as black smoke poured through the seven-story hospital in this city in eastern India, officials said. Six administrators were arrested. Dwellers of a nearby slum who first noticed the smoke and fire rushed to the AMRI Hospital to raise the alarm, but security guards kept them back, saying it was only a small blaze, witnesses said. It took firefighters in the city formerly known as Calcutta more than an hour to respond,
said Pradeep Sarkar, a witness whose uncle was hospitalized but was among those safely evacuated from the private facility. Some of the slum dwellers helped with the rescue. The neighborhood’s narrow streets apparently made it difficult for fire trucks to get close to the building and to bring in big hydraulic ladders. Eventually, they smashed through a main gate to make way for the ladders. Six hospital directors surrendered to police and were charged with culpable homicide, according to police who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk to the media.
Mamata Banerjee, chief minister of the state of West Bengal, ordered the hospital’s license withdrawn. The hospital denied that any safety measures were violated. “It was horrifying that the hospital authorities did not make any effort to rescue trapped patients,” said Subrata Mukherjee, West Bengal state minister for public health engineering. “Senior hospital authorities ran away after the fire broke out.” Rescuers pulled 73 bodies from the building and another 16 died of their injuries later, said Danayati Sen, a top Kolkata police official. Most of the deaths were due to smoke inhalation, rescue officials said.
Hostage video released BY MATT APUZZO Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — Christine Levinson had endured nearly four years of despair since her husband, Robert, disappeared in Iran. Every glimmer of hope in the U.S. government’s search for him had faded away, every optimistic lead had ended with disappointment. Privately, some believed he was probably dead. Then, in November 2010, the mother of seven, who had never given up hope, received in an email from an unknown address. A file was attached. But it would not open. Frantically, she forwarded it to some computer savvy friends, people close to the family recalled. Can you open this, she asked? What is it? Finally, the file opened. Her friends held the phone to the computer. And though she could not see his face, she immediately recognized the voice. “My beautiful, my loving, my loyal wife, Christine,” Robert Levinson began. It was a video, the proof of life that the family had sought

THIS VIDEO frame grab from a Levinson family website shows retired FBI agent Robert Levinson. The family of Levinson, who vanished years ago in Iran, issued a plea to his kidnappers Friday and, for the first time, released a hostage video they received from his unidentified captors. for so long. The video, which the Coral Springs, Fla., family released Friday, represented the most significant clue in a mystery that has confounded investigators from the start. But it did not end the family’s vigil, or answer the most important questions: Who was holding Levinson? And why?
On the tape, Robert Levinson, the once burly, gregarious retired FBI agent, looked haggard. His voice wavered. But he was alive. “I have been treated well. But I need the help of the United States government to answer the requests of the group that has held me for three and a half years,” Levinson said. “And please help me get home.” He was a hostage. It was the first breakthrough in the case since Levinson, a private detective, traveled to the Iranian island of Kish in March 2007. His family said he was there investigating cigarette smuggling for a corporate client. He spent one night in a hotel, meeting a fugitive named Dawud Salahuddin, a man wanted for the murder of an Iranian diplomat in the United States in 1980. Levinson checked out of his hotel and vanished. Everything after that has been a mystery. The video, however, contained some tantalizing clues, and the government’s experts have studied each one.

Risk celebrates 55 years of twirls and girls BY PATRICIA ANN SPEELMAN pspeelman@sdnccg.com
other girls in my backyard when I was still 11,” Risk said. Five years later, she organized and taught the Jackson Center High Steppers to march in local parades. By that time, she had been a majorette with the junior high band and head majorette with the high school band. She was the first person to serve as Jackson Center High’s head majorette all four years she was at the school. She twirled with the Manchester College Band in North Manchester, Ind., and in 1968, she opened a baton school in Sidney in what was known then as the K of C Hall on the square. “She was awesome,” remembered Lori Billing, of Anna, who, at age 5, began her baton studies with Risk in 1970. “She was creative and she wanted perfection. She kept at you and at you until you got it right. She taught me a lot.” The drive for perfection paid off. Risk’s Tamettes Baton Corps won state and regional United States Twirling Association (USTA) or National Baton Twirling Association championships every year from 1974 to 1984, except in
1980 and 1981, when they did not compete. In 1975, they were the national champions. Julie Tobias, of Wapakoneta, was Julie Swiger when she studied with Risk beginning in 1968. She and Billing both became majorettes at Anna High School. “We all from Anna went to her for lessons,” Tobias said. “Anna had the best majorettes. We were good. (Risk) was kind of hard on us at times, but we won nationals!” Risk’s current class of students will attempt to get her another title in July. “We’re doing a routine to the same music that I used at our first national competition,” Risk said. It’s because she’s preparing her team — now called Let’s Dance— Let’s Twirl — for the contest that Risk is celebrating a slow down in her career now instead of in July. “There’s just too much work to do then to have a party, too,” she said. Although she refuses to admit to retiring, she is adamant that her current 19 students constitute her last class. “If any of these girls wants to take private lessons with me until she’s old enough to try

Risk had threatened to retire when she left California, so only time will tell if her current plans to slow down come to fruition. At a recent class in Botkins, she had no trouble spinning, marching, and keeping up with her young, would-be majorettes. But she feels it is becoming more difficult to so. “I would love to continue, but I’m running out of energy,” she said when asked if she had regrets. “I regret that I can’t do this for my granddaughter.” Danica Jolie Detwiler was born Jan. 9 this year. Billing, Risk’s former student from 1970, would dispute that Risk can’t. “She’s like the Energizer bunny. She keeps going and going,” Billing said. Indeed, Risk is planning, besides the national competition, per-
formances at school basketball halftimes, at the Miami Valley Centre Mall, and at 2012’s Kids Around the Square. Risk doesn’t talk about the long-term influence she has had on “her girls.” Even now, in their 50s, both Billing and Tobias admit to occasionally digging their batons out of their closets for a twirl or two. Billing’s nieces have asked her to show them how to “do it.” But beyond twirling, Risk taught bigger lessons. Billing was quick to point out how her baton lessons have affected her life. “I would go back to that perfection thing,” she said. “Keep at it until you perfect it. Always try to do your best.” That Montra backyard is far away now in memory. But somewhere, a daughter of a student or a granddaughter of a student, full of curiosity and hope, with eyes asparkle, has picked up a baton and headed for another backyard…

DAYTON — Sidney playwright Ed Graczyk’s latest offering is being performed by the Dayton Theatre Guild this weekend as a holiday extra show. “The Blue Moon Dancing,” a comedy-drama, debuted in 2010 at the Contemporary Theater of Dallas and a public reading of the work was held earlier this year at the Riffe Theater in Columbus. The play focuses on a daytime dance hall located outside the west Texas city of McCarthy, population 23,853. Open from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., the Blue Moon provides an escape from the daily doldrums of meaningless lives and lonely desperation. To its cast of idiosyncratic regulars, it is a refuge for their hopes, dreams, fantasies and lies. This particular day at the Moon includes a

Peebles bears Honda plants earn Energy Star benefit Toys for Tots HOUSTON, Texas — Peebles is spreading a little holiday cheer while giving back to the community this festive season through the sale of boy- and girl-themed “Bears that Care” to benefit Toys for Tots. The plush brown and tan bears adorned with a holiday scarf and Christmas gift retail for $6.98 and from now until Dec. 24, Stage Stores Inc., the parent company of Peebles, will donate $1 for every bear sold to Toys for Tots. For those who can’t make it to the store, donating is as easy as visiting Peebles’ Facebook page and “liking” the page. Through Dec. 26, Peebles will make a donation of 5 cents for every person who be-
comes a fan of their page. In addition, all fans of the Peebles page can register to win up to a $5,000 cash prize. Stage Stores will make two separate donations to Toys for Tots this holiday season. The company will donate up to $150,000 from the holiday bear sales, and up $5,000 from the Facebook contest. The U.S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Program collects new, unwrapped toys and distributes those toys as Christmas gifts to needy children in the community. On Dec. 27 Stage Stores will announce the total amount raised and the prize winner.
MARYSVILLE —Two Honda auto plants in Ohio have earned the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s 2011 Energy Star due to the company’s ongoing efforts to operate energyefficient facilities. This marks the fifth consecutive year that both Honda auto plants in Ohio, in Marysville and East Liberty, have earned this recognition. The EPA bases the award on the amount of energy needed to produce an automobile, taking into account factors such as vehicle size and production volume. Electricity and natural gas represent 95 percent of total energy consumption in the production of automobiles. Honda has ongoing conservation initiatives to minimize the environmental impact from the use of fossil fuels, including a reduc-
tion of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases. “Improving the energy efficiency of Honda factories is the single biggest focus of the company’s efforts to reduce the environmental impact of our operations,” said Karen Heyob, leader of Honda’s environmental initiatives at Honda of America Mfg. Honda’s energy-reduction efforts range from real-time monitoring of electricity use to advanced compressed air management programs. For example, the company mounted aggressive programs to eliminate air leaks in compressed air systems, and to optimize the use of compressed air by reducing pressure. In addition, real-time monitoring helps identify equipment that can be turned off when production isn’t taking place during breaks, between
shifts and on weekends. At the Marysville Auto Plant, Honda’s highest volume auto plant in North America, centralized steam used for heat and humidification was replaced with more efficient localized systems. A new “fog” humidification system for the plant’s painting operations is 80 percent energy efficient and automatically shuts off when not needed. A major paint renovation at the East Liberty plant has reduced the size of automobile painting booths by 43 percent and streamlined operations by reducing the number of painting robots. With completion of this four-year project in 2012, the resulting savings in heating and electrical power consumption will reduce CO2 emissions by approximately 10,000 tons annually. The East Liberty
plant also recently completed installation of a new instrument panel paint line that utilizes benchmark coating and energy conservation technologies. The new line doubles paint transfer efficiency compared with the old system and additional energy savings comes from recycling 90 percent of the conditioned paint booth air. A Building Management System at the Marysville facility is programmed to automatically shut off building functions when not needed, including pumps, chillers, air compressors, lights and air-handling systems. In addition, the plant has disconnected 1,071 high-bay lights in areas where illumination no longer is needed, reducing CO2 emissions by 611,000 kilograms annually.

Aleve, Advil or one of the many other related drugs takes care of pain. Crutches aren’t necessary for grade 1 and grade 2 sprains. An ankle brace, a walking boot or taping keeps the person mobile and protects the joint. Your brother’s recurring ankle sprains indicate his joint is unstable. He must see an orthopedic doctor. If he’s experiencing these strains while playing a sport, he’d benefit from using an ankle support. Tell him to visit Stromgren Athletics on the Internet at www.stromgren.com. He can see pictures of their many ankle devices. Model 329 is one that can keep his ankle
supported. This is only a temporary measure. Seeing the orthopedic doctor is the definitive solution. You might have to see one, too, if your ankle isn’t better in another week. DEAR DR. DONOHUE: How come you never write about cheerleading? I am a cheerleader, and it’s demanding exercise. We practice daily. I believe cheerleading qualifies as a sport. — S.B. ANSWER: I haven’t written about it because, until your letter, I never had any question sent to me about it. I’m in complete agreement with you. Cheerleading is a demanding sport that requires agility, balance, strength and flexibility. Write me with a question. I’ll give you and cheerleading equal time.

DEAR ABBY: I am a caring, loving husband. I enjoy my time with my wife. I think about our future a lot and want our marriage to last for as long as possible. I make exercise a priority in my life, but I can’t get her to understand that she should, too. I love her for who she is, but I want her to be in great health. I am a very straightforward person and have told her in ways she didn’t respond well to. She becomes defensive. How do you tell a woman she should exercise without offending her? — FIT IN AKRON, OHIO DEAR FIT: Talk to her about the couples you encounter who exercise together. Tell her how much it would mean to you if you could share the activity together. If your form of exercise isn’t one that
works for her, then find something you can agree on to do together. If that doesn’t help, then you’ll have to accept her for who she is — a confirmed couch potato. DEAR ABBY: I live in Japan and love your column. It is informative and helps me stay in touch with America. But I need to get something off my chest. I am beyond tired of the number of women I read about in your column who refer to their wedding day as “my special day.” News flash, ladies: You should be using the term “OUR special day”! If you’re so focused on your dress and hair and any faux pas — real or imagined — your guests may commit that you lose focus on the life you and your husband are beginning, perhaps you
should buy a pet rather than get married. Any person who has stayed married for more than a few years knows the marriage ceremony is the easy part. The selfabsorption that permeates today’s wedding scene ranges from embarrassing to sickening. — ROB IN TOMAKOMAI DEAR ROB: Weddings (and funerals) can bring out the worst in people because they are times when emotion sometimes trumps common sense. The majority of American brides are gracious, polite, loving and hardworking. They are also prepared for the realities that come after the fairy tale wedding. (And if they’re not, I hear from them!) Please don’t judge all American brides by the ones you read about in my column. The weddings that go smoothly I don’t hear about.

Coshocton County leads the way during gun season
AP Photo/Ray C's Extreme Store
IN THIS Nov. 21 photo provided by Ray C's Extreme Store, Jeff Kerr is shown with a 13-point deer in Lapeer, Mich. Kerr has been forced to give up the venison and the trophy antlers because he didn't have a license. He could face fines of $1,500. The DNR plans to use the antlers during public talks on hunting laws.
No license, no trophy buck LAPEER, Mich. (AP) — After his hunting buddy missed, Jeff Kerr says he couldn’t resist: He shot a 13-point trophy buck on his grandmother’s land in Lapeer County, a deer with a generous rack. “This is a once-in-alifetime rack for a deer hunter,” said Lt. Dave Malloch of the Michigan Department of Natural Resources. But the antlers and the venison no longer belong to Kerr. The DNR seized everything after learning that Kerr didn’t get a hunting license until after he shot the deer on Nov. 20. “I was wrong,” Kerr, 28, said Thursday. “I’m not going to point fingers.” With a construction job going well, he doubted he would get a chance to hunt. Then a pal called and they were off to his grandmother’s 40 acres in Lapeer County’s Marathon
Township. Kerr didn’t have a license but had a Remington shotgun. “He missed it twice and I couldn’t let it go again,” Kerr said of the deer. “I shot him at 10 yards.” He got a license and removed the deer from the field the next day. He put the animal in his pickup truck and posed for a photo at a shop in Lapeer. The picture was posted on a website, www.q1buckpole.com , where people can see other Michigan trophy deer. The DNR said it got a tip that Kerr didn’t have a $15 license when he shot the buck. He confessed after a visit from conservation officer Ken Kovach. “I wasn’t going to lie. There’s nobody to blame but myself,” Kerr said. He could face fines of up to $1,500. The DNR plans to display the antlers during public talks on hunting laws.
COLUMBUS — Ohio hunters took 90,282 white-tailed deer during the state's popular, week-long deer-gun season, which ran November 28 through December 4, according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR), Division of Wildlife. In 2010, hunters checked a total of 105,034 deer during the same time period. “Hunters clearly took advantage of the weather as the week progressed. They trimmed the deficit from last season from 39% on opening day, to 14% by the close of the season on Sunday, “said Mike Tonkovich, ODNR, Division of Wildlife deer project leader. “While other factors may have been at work, it is clear that extreme weather – good or bad – on key harvest days can have a significant impact on the bottom line.” Counties reporting the highest numbers of deer brought to Ohio check stations last week included Coshocton

Hunters still have one weekend of deer-gun hunting, December 1718, and nine weeks of archery hunting in Ohio. Archery season remains open until February 5, 2012. The statewide muzzleloader deer-hunting season will be held January 7-10, 2012. Donations of extra venison are encouraged and will be accepted through the entire deer season, ending on February 5, 2012, to organizations assisting Ohioans in need. The division of Wildlife is collaborating with Farmers and Hunters Feeding the Hungry to help pay the processing cost as long as the deer are taken to a participating processor.

Jackson Center wins big in opener, 56-38
Lee Woolery/Ohio Community Media
SIDNEY’S TYREE Manley goes in for a layup in boys basketball action at Troy Friday night. Manley led the Yellow Jackets in scoring with 12 points, but it wasn’t enough in an 81-41 setback.
Jackets fall to Trojans TROY — Sidney is still searching for its first win of the season after getting doubled up by the Troy Trojans in Greater Western Ohio Conference North boys basketball action Friday here, 81-41. The loss leaves the Jackets at 0-3 on the season and they will return to action Friday at Vandalia in another North Division test. Troy is now 2-1 on the year. The Trojans took control right from the start, rolling to a 28-11 lead after one quarter. Sidney got a three-pointer with under a minute to play in the half from Patwaun Hudson to cut the lead to 3925, but the Trojans got a bucket, then a steal and another bucket to pump the lead back up to 43-25 at the half. The Jackets got no closer the rest of the way, managing just seven points in the third quarter. “We missed a couple of rotations defensively early in the game and left them with open shots,” said Sidney head coach Greg Snyder. “They hit them and gained confidence that they kept the entire game. I can’t fault the effort. We just need to get better on offense and get a better idea
how to finish off defensive possessions.” Sidney didn’t shoot well, and didn’t get to the line much. For the game, the Jackets were 15-for-49 for 31 percent, including just 8-for-29 from three-point range. And they attempted just eight free throws, hitting five. Troy, meanwhile, shot well throughout the game, finishing 32-for-65 for 49 percent. In addition, Troy owned the boards, outrebounding the Jackets 46-26. The Jackets were led in scoring by Tyree Manley, who finished with 12 points. Hudson added 11, but no one else managed more than five. Cody May hit 21 for Troy and Zack Martinez 18.

NEW BREMEN — Lima Catholic jumped out to a 15-6 lead after a quarter and went on to a 66-40 win over the New Bremen Cardinals in non-conference action here Friday. Bremen falls to 1-1 on the season while LCC improves to 2-1. Derek Bornhorst led the Cardinals with nine points.
JACKSON CENTER – Down 8-2 early and four later in the first quarter, the Jackson Center Tigers closed the half with a 23-7 run and went on to a 56-38 County win over the Fairlawn Jets here Friday night. It was the opening game for the Tigers while Fairlawn is now 0-2 both overall and in the league. Despite falling behind 8-2 at the start, the Jets led 13-9 before Jackson scored the final four points of the opening period. The Tigers then outscored Fairlawn 19-7 in the second quarter to go up 32-20 at the break. Fairlawn cut the deficit to five by scoring the seven points of the third quarter, but could get no closer as Jackson built the lead back up to 13 heading into the final period. Alex Meyer led all scorers with 22 points for the Tigers, including four three-pointers, while Andy Hoying had 11 along with nine rebounds. “Alex had a great game offensively, but his defensive game was probably better,” said Jackson head coach Scott Elchert. “I was extremely pleased with the way we played defense. Fairlawn has a lot of weapons, and holding them to 38 points is getting it done.” “We were down a couple of players tonight, but Troy Opperman, Gavin Wildermuth and Christian Mabry really gave us a boost,” added Elchert. “They all did a great job in their first varsity game.” Jackson hit 20 of 43 shots from the field for 47 percent and was nine of 12 at the foul line. Anthony Gillem paced Fairlawn with 12 and Trey Everett added 11, but only five Jets dented the scoring column overall. Both teams are back in action tonight as Fairlawn hosts Mississinawa while Jackson

Rockets get by Loramie ANNA — Anna overcame a three-point halftime deficit to pull out a 51-43 victory over Fort Loramie in the season opener for both Friday in boys basketball action. The 1-0 Rockets are back in action tonight at home against New Knoxville. Fort Loramie travels to St. Henry. Anna ran into early foul trouble, with head coach Nate Barhorst being forced to sit both Jay Meyer and Maverick Long for much of the opening quarter. “They were both in trouble in the first four minutes,” Barhorst said. “But we had to get at least one of them back in there. Jay came back in and had a good second quarter to keep us close.” Loramie led 13-10 after one period and was up 23-20 at the half. But it could have been more had it not been for Meyer, who had five points for the Rockets near the end of the period. The two teams were still deadlocked at 35-35 after three periods, but Anna dominated the final quarter, outscoring the Redskins 16-8 to post the win. “They took us out of our offense in the first half, so we knew we had to get it inside more in the second half,” said Barhorst. “Jay did a good job making more post feeds, and we got a good effort out of Nick Reier inside. We need him to do that.” Reier finished with 13

MEMBERS OF the Botkins junior varsity basketball team huddle together on the steps outside the high school Friday night in an attempt to stay warm. The gym had to be cleared twice because of a faulty fire alarm, and the varsity game between Botkins and Houston had to be postponed. The JV game didn’t get past halftime.
Faulty fire alarm forces postponement at Botkins BOTKINS — The boys game at basketball Botkins Friday night between the Trojans and Houston had to be postponed because of a faulty fire alarm. The alarm first went off with 2:23 remaining in the second quarter of the junior varsity game. The gym was cleared at that point and the fire department responded. The all-clear was given, and the first half
of the JV game was completed. Then, as school officials were setting up for Homecoming festivities, the alarm sounded a second time. Again, the gymnasium was cleared and the fire department responded. After some discussion, it was decided the game should be postponed, although the Homecoming ceremony reportedly was held.
SHS wrestlers defeat Vandalia DAYTON — Sidney beat Vandalia but lost to Stebbins in wrestling action at Stebbins Thursday night. The Jackets beat Vandalia 42-28 in what coach Jim McCracken said was their best match of the young season so far. “This is the third year in a row we’ve beaten them,” McCracken said. “We showed a lot of heart and determination. In nearly every bout, our kids put it on the line and did what was needed to beat a quality team.” Freshman Alex Willman (106) upped his record to 7-0 with five pins. He pinned in 1:45 against Vandalia and had a 19-2 technical fall against Stebbins. Dayvon Madden at 120 had a pin against Vandalia, and Cody Davis pinned twice, one in 32 seconds. At 145, Mason Calvert pinned twice and at 152, Ryan Penley won twice, including once in overtime. At 160, Garrick Ginter had two pins in under two minutes each, and at 170 Derek Spangler pinned in his only action against Vandalia. At 195, Dionte Findley won over Vandalia 11-4, and at 220, Jacob
Lochard won 5-3 in overtime against Stebbins. “Against Stebbins, we were ripe for the picking after beating Vandalia,” McCracken said. “Stebbins picked up the bonus points more and won more of the close matches. They came out hard all night long and it’s by far the best Stebbins squad I’ve seen in my 30 years.” Sidney is now 5-2 and competes in the London Duals Saturday.

The Bowling Green basketball women’s team has reeled off five wins in a row since starting off the season 1-2, and Lehman graduate and BG senior Jessica Slagle has been a key figure in the win streak. Slagle led the Lady Falcons to a win over Butler last Saturday by going for a career-high 15 points. She also added six rebounds and two assists. Her points were the result of outstanding shooting. She was 4-for-6 from the field and 6-for-7 from the free throw line. She followed that game up with another solid effort Tuesday in a win over Youngstown State. She had 12 points, pulled down four rebounds, and was a perfect 6-for-6 from the free throw line. On the season, she is averaging 8.9 points and 4.3 rebounds per game, and is hitting an impressive 83.3 percent from the free throw line (20for-24).

Football pushed back the start of basketball, but the Wildcats will hit the floor Friday night, playing at Russia in nonleague play. “We got off to kind of a slow start in regards to numbers,” said head coach Mike Lee. “And we did give the football players extra time.” But then Lee implemented something that the football players are quite familiar with. “We went with two-adays, just like in football,” Lee said. “We did it over the Thanksgiving break. But we’re starting earlier this year than we did last. Our first league game next Friday will be on time.” No one would have blamed Lee if he chose to back the season up even more after the football team reached the regional championship game. “I just didn’t want to have a stretch later in the season where we played a lot of games in a short amount of time,” he said. Lee also had to deal with injuries in presea-

Doug Huber, the top returning scorer for the Wildcats this season, was at first thought to be out for a lengthy period with knee problems. But Lee got some good news. “He went through some strenuous rehab,” he said. “He’s not 100 percent, but he’s a hard worker and he’s gotten himself ready.” Two others, Devon Poeppelman and Ryan Hoying, have been cleared to play after missing good chunks of the football season. “We’re just going to have to ease into it,” said Lee. The opener will be a challenge. The Raiders boast 6-foot-9 Brandon Wilson, who had a doubledouble in Russia’s opening-night win at Houston. “It’s a typical Paul Bremigan team,” said Lee. “He gets 110 percent effort. They play hard, they’re scrappy,and they did a nice job distributing the ball against Houston. We’re undersized, so Wilson is a big concern.”

OSU gets coaches waiver from NCAA COLUMBUS (AP) — Ohio State asked for and received NCAA approval to exceed the limit of football coaches on staff through the Buckeyes’ bowl game. The existing staff, under Luke Fickell, will prepare the Buckeyes on the field in the days leading up to and including their Gator Bowl game against Florida on Jan. 2. Then there is incoming coach Urban Meyer, who will handle only recruiting while hiring his own assistants. Athletic director Gene Smith said the split staffs were “normal in some transitions.” He added, “We are operating within allowable NCAA and Big Ten rules.” Ohio State requested the waiver permitting the arrangement and it was verbally approved by the NCAA on Nov. 28, the day the university officially introduced Meyer as its
new coach. Fickell has served as an interim since Jim Tressel was pressured to resign on May 30 in the wake of a scandal involving Buckeyes accepting cash and tattoos for signed memorabilia. The waiver specifies that no more than 10 coaches — and no more than seven at any one time — may be involved in recruiting. Ohio State asked for the waiver because otherwise it would have exceeded the maximum number of allowed coaches under NCAA rules. There have been some rumblings at other schools that the waiver gives Ohio State a competitive advantage because their coaching staffs must deal with bowl preparations and recruiting at the same time — with no additional people. Michigan coach Brady Hoke was asked about the coaches waiver on Friday. “It’s different. That would
be my reaction. I’ve never heard of it,” he said. “Is that an advantage? Yeah, I think so.” Later Friday, Illinois introduced new coach Tim Beckman, a former assistant at Ohio State. He revealed that Illinois has also requested a coaches waiver to help during the transition. “I knew that was going on,” Beckman said. “I think it’s just something that we’re gonna try to do right now so that we have that same advantage that they do.” NCAA spokeswoman Stacey Osburn said the practice was not all that rare. “The NCAA has certainly received similar waiver requests prior to the bowl season from universities that have recently experienced coaching staff changes,” she said in an email to The Associated Press. “When granted, these waivers are temporary, typically lasting through the bowl game, and only provide
relief from maximum number of coaches allowed to be employed by the school. To prevent competitive advantage, the university still cannot exceed the number of coaches allowed to recruit at any one time and the amount of coaches allowed on the sidelines remains the same.” Smith, who said he had asked for and received the waiver when he was the AD at Arizona State, said he didn’t understand why other schools would be complaining. “We have only one coach who is not coaching — and that’s coach Meyer,” he said. “We don’t have a whole new staff out there recruiting. Keep in mind, the (other) guys we have recruiting are also coaching.” The NCAA and Big Ten did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Ohio State, said in an email that the school has taken steps to ensure that it does not exceed the number of coaches working on either the bowl game or recruiting. The NCAA has charged Ohio State with “failure to monitor” its athletic program as a result of the ongoing problems. Yet the NCAA officially approved Ohio State’s request for the waiver in a tersely worded decision on Dec. 7. Under the heading “Decision” is the word “Approved.” Under “Conditions” the NCAA offered the limitations on the number of coaches who can be involved in recruiting. The NCAA cited “extenuating circumstances surrounding the changes in coaching personnel and the timing of the bowl game” as the rationale for its decision to permit Ohio State to exceed the number of allowable coaches on staff.
Iowa State assistant Bucks’ new QB coach COLUMBUS (AP) — Ohio State has hired Iowa State assistant Tom Herman to be its new quarterbacks coach and offensive coordinator under Urban Meyer. Athletic director Gene Smith confirmed the hiring on Friday. Herman, 35, has served as Iowa State’s offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach the past three seasons. Herman favors a spread attack, also the preferred offense of Meyer. Herman is the first confirmed member of Meyer’s new staff. “Tom Herman has one of the bright young minds in college football,” Meyer said in a statement released by Ohio State. “His philosophies are very similar to those of my own. I spoke to numerous colleagues about Tom and all had great things to say about him. I enjoyed our time together during the interview process and I am excited to have him on the staff.” Herman will remain with Iowa State and
coach the Cyclones in the Pinstripe Bowl against Rutgers on Dec. 30. “We wish Tom and his family all the best,” Iowa State coach Paul Rhoads said in a statement released Friday. “Tom has made significant contributions as our offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach. We appreciate the work he has done developing all our quarterbacks.”
Illinois names Beckman Toledo coach Tim Beckman was introduced as the new Illini coach on Friday. He spent three years as head coach at Toledo. Illinois will pay newly hired football coach Tim Beckman $9 million over five years. Beckman replaces Ron Zook who was fired last month. The 6-6 Illini will take on UCLA New Year's Eve in the Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl. Zook was paid about $2.6 million to buy out the last two year of his contract — $1.3 million a season.

CAUTION 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 branches are Union 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.
