U.S. warns Iran against closing key oil passage BY TAREK EL-TABLAWY Associated Press
BEST DEAL that you deserve! 624 N. VANDEMARK, SIDNEY 2622 MICHIGAN AVE. SIDNEY
www.sidneydailynews.com
TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — The U.S. strongly warned Iran on Wednesday against closing a vital Persian Gulf waterway that carries one-sixth of the world’s oil supply, after Iran threatened to choke off traffic through the Strait of Hormuz if Washington imposes sanctions targeting the country’s crude exports. The increasingly heated exchange raises new tensions in a standoff that has the potential to spark military reprisals and spike oil prices to levels that could batter an already fragile global economy. Iran’s navy chief said Wednesday that it would be “very easy” for his country’s forces to close the strategic Strait of Hormuz, the passage at the mouth of the Persian Gulf through which about 15 million barrels of oil pass daily. It was the second such warning by Iran in two days, reflecting Tehran’s concern that the West is about to impose new sanctions that could See IRAN/Page 5

The medical condition and treatment of William Trapp Jr., an inmate at the S h e l b y County Jail, is a concern to his family, but Sheriff John Lenhart said the office is folTrapp l o w i n g recommendations made by the dietician and the jail physician. Trapp was released from jail on a medical furlough and placed in Wilson Memorial Hospital’s intensive care unit on Dec. 16. At the time, cost of his medical condition raised concerns, estimated to be in
the hundreds of thousands of dollars if he remained in Sheriff ’s Office custody. The furlough was granted with an order to determine custody when Trapp’s condition improved. He was placed back in jail on Dec. 22 and is currently in the medical ward. Trapp is charged with killing his brother and is scheduled for trial in January. His mother, Kathy Maynard, said her son was in relatively good heath before being jailed. “When my son was arrested, he was a diabetic and he lost his legs,” said Maynard. “Healthwise there was nothing wrong with that boy. Since he’s been in there, he has high blood pressure, congestive heart failure, fluid in the lungs, anemia and he is losing kidney function.” Trapp is now on 15 or 16 See TRAPP/Page 3

Woman sentenced for solicitation Jennifer Satterfield, 27, one of two Dayton women charged with solicitation following a S h e l b y C o u n t y Sheriff’s Office underc o v e r investigation, was fined $150 J. Satterfield and costs and sentenced to 90 days in jail Wednesday in Sidney Municipal Court. Judge Duane Goettemoeller suspended 30 days of the sentence on condition she violates no laws during 2012.
She was also credited with seven days already served in jail. She must serve the remaining 53 days of the sentence. Sheriff ’s deputies arrested the woman and a companion, Angel Satterfield, 22, also of Dayton, after setting up a meeting with them at a Sidney motel. The younger Satterfield has yet to be arraigned in Municipal Court on solicitation charges. The offenses are third-degree misdemeanors. Deputies said the two were advertising their services on a Dayton escort web page described as “adult entertainment” seeking men for paid sex.
Abortion, immigration changes among new 2012 laws BY ANDREW WELSH-HUGGINS Associated Press Girls seeking abortions in New Hampshire must first tell their parents or a judge, employers in Alabama must verify new workers’ U.S. residency, and California students will be the first in the country to receive mandatory lessons about the contributions of gays and lesbians under state laws set to take effect at the start of 2012. Many laws reflect the nation’s concerns over immigration, the cost of government and the best way to protect and benefit young people, including regulations on sports concussions. Alabama, with the country’s toughest immigration law, is enacting a key provision requiring all employers who do business with any government entity to use a federal system known as E-Verify
to check that all new employees are in the country legally. Georgia is putting a similar law into effect requiring any business with 500 or more employees to use E-Verify to check the employment eligibility of new hires. The requirement is being phased in, with all employers with more than 10 employees to be included by July 2013. Supporters said they wanted to deter illegal immigrants from coming to Georgia by making it tougher for them to work. Critics said that changes to immigration law should come at the federal level and that portions of the law already in effect are already hurting Georgia. “It is destroying Georgia’s economy and it is destroying the fabric of our social network in South Georgia,” Paul Bridges, mayor of the onion-farming town of Uvalda, said in November. He is
part of a lawsuit challenging the new law. Tennessee will also require businesses to ensure employees are legally authorized to work in the U.S. but exempts employers with five or fewer workers and allows them to keep a copy of the new hire’s driver’s license instead of using EVerify. A South Carolina law would allow officials to yank the operating licenses of businesses that don’t check new hires’ legal status through E-verify. A federal judge last week blocked parts of the law that would have required police to check the immigration status of criminal suspects or people stopped for traffic violations they think might be in the country illegally, and that would have made it a crime for illegal immigrants to transport or house themselves.

Vehicle searched in fatal hit-and-run crash BELLEFONTAINE — A vehicle has been searched for evidence in a fatal hit-and-run accident that happened Friday on County Road 101 in McArthur Township. Logan County Sheriff Andrew Smith declined to release the name of the owner of the vehicle that was searched and is waiting to get lab results from the Bureau of Criminal Investigation and Identification. “We processed the vehicle and
evidence has been collected,” said Smith. “It will be taken to BCI in London and once we get the lab results back we’ll take it to the prosecutor to see if there will be any charges filed.” The vehicle is suspected to be involved in the hit-and-run accident that claimed the life of Martha Miller, 40, an Amish school teacher from the Belle Center area. She was pronounced dead at the scene. She was reportedly only a mile
from her home when her bicycle was struck by a vehicle. According to the Sheriff’s Office, she was wearing a reflective vest and had a flashing light on the back of her bike at the time of the incident. Witnesses said a dark green truck or SUV struck Miller, then fled the scene. Through tips, deputies located a truck and received a search warrant on Tuesday to begin processing it for evidence.
TRAPP different kinds of medications, Maynard said, noting his eyesight is also failing. Because of his kidneys problems, he has to undergo dialysis three times a week. There is a nurse at the jail for eight hours each weekday and, according to Lenhart, there are 15minute physical checks performed on him 24 hours a day. There is also a jail camera on him in the medical ward. However, Maynard doesn’t believe the physical checks are sufficient. “I feel that everybody should know what is going on,” said Maynard. “This is my son this time but it could happen to anyone. I’m worried about my son getting the care that he needs. The guards go by every 15 minutes to see if he’s breathing but it’s not checking his blood pressure, his blood sugar or any other medical things.” Maynard is also concerned that William isn’t receiving proper nutrition because of his various health problems. “Sometimes it’s good, sometimes it’s not,” said Maynard. “It’s full of starches. With my son being anemic, that should tell you how his food is. Yeah, they’re meeting all of the requirements, but that’s not the way you feed people.” Lenhart reiterated that the office is following the recommendations of the jail physician and dietician. “I’ve been told he is a picky eater,” said Lenhart. “Sometimes he leaves things, like he doesn’t like the bread, etc. The jail doctor and the dietician have him on the diet he’s supposed to be on.”
From Page 1 Trapp is getting three meals and a snack each day, Lenhart said. The typical breakfast is whole wheat bread, eggs and milk. Lunch on Wednesday, for example, was meat loaf, black-eyed peas, applesauce and whole wheat bread. The typical dinner consists of cold-meat sandwiches, a fruit or vegetable and milk. The jail also provides Trapp with some form of snack. Lenhart noted prisoners can have access to the commissary twice a week to purchase items. “He can order from the commissary,” said Lenhart. “He can order different drinks that are sugar-free and there’s chicken that he can buy as well as other things with lower sodium. He’s allowed to have them and purchase them with his money.” Another concern
raised by Maynard is transportation available for Trapp. Because Trapp is in a wheelchair, it makes it more challenging to transport him. Maynard said that until recently Trapp was transported in a van and “had to crawl and pull himself in.” Lenhart agreed that her description was “pretty accurate.” “We had not transported him before so we didn’t really know how to do that,” said Lenhart. “As an end result, we’re using a squad car, which makes it easier on him to get in and out.” As a mother, another concern for Maynard is not knowing what is happening with her son while he’s in jail. “The only information I get is from my son or my son’s lawyer,” said Maynard. “I’ll call in there and I know the nurse or the deputies want to tell

me things but they can’t. The nurse in there is great with my son. He’s doing better since he’s on the dialysis and I’m thankful for that.” Trapp is currently in jail awaiting trial for the murder of his brother, Gregory Trapp. Gregory was found dead May 21, 1998, with a single bullet wound to his head. The cold case was re-opened in 2010 with the Montgomery County Cold Case Unit conducting a new investigation along with the Shelby County Sheriff’s Office. In January, Trapp and Vance Short were charged with the murder. At the time, then-Sheriff Dean Kimpel said the motive may have been insurance money and noted a gun used in the crime had been found. Separate trials for Trapp and Short are scheduled to begin Jan. 24.

Iowa effort continues DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — One presidential campaign claims an impressive effort in Iowa this year: eight offices opened, 350,000 phone calls to potential supporters and 1,280 events to recruit and train volunteers. It’s not Mitt Romney or Newt Gingrich or Ron Paul. It’s Obama for America, the president’s re-election campaign, which badly wants to win this battleground state in November, as it did in 2008. “The Republicans are here today, gone tomorrow,” said Obama volunteer Pat Walters, of Johnston, a suburb of Des Moines. “We’ve been doing this since 2009.”
Dad trusted suspect FORT WAYNE, Ind. (AP) — The father of a 9year-old girl who was found bludgeoned and dismembered said Wednesday that he knew the man accused of killing his daughter and had no reason to distrust him. “I can’t talk about it because I’m still coping with it. It’s too hard to talk about,” Dawayne Maroney of Centerville, Iowa, said in a brief telephone interview with The Associated Press, adding that the gruesome slaying has him overcome with grief. Maroney said he hadn’t recently talked with his daughter, Aliahna Lemmon, or her mother, because they frequently changed their phone number. Maroney said he knew the man accused of killing his daughter, 39-year-old Michael Plumadore, through his daughter’s mother, Tarah Souders. Maroney said he trusted Plumadore.
Fewer go to movies LOS ANGELES (AP) — Hollywood has more tricks in its bag than ever with digital 3-D and other new film tools. Yet as the images on screen get bigger and better, movie crowds keep shrinking — down to a 16year low as 2011’s film lineup fell well short of studios’ record expectations. Through New Year’s Eve on Saturday, projected domestic revenues for the year stand at $10.2 billion, down 3.5 percent from 2010’s, according to box-office tracker Hollywood.com. Taking higher ticket prices into account, movie attendance is off even more, with an estimated 1.28 billion tickets sold, a 4.4 percent decline and the smallest movie audience since 1995, when admissions totaled 1.26 billion.

Man finds $10,000, returns it GREENWOOD VILLAGE, Colo. (AP) — A Colorado man who found $10,000 before boarding a flight in Las Vegas says he returned the money to the owner because he wanted to show his children it was “the right thing to do.” Greenwood Village resident Mitch Gilbert told KUSA-TV he found two unmarked Caesar’s Palace envelopes at the airport and realized there was money inside when he arrived home. The television station reported Monday that Gilbert called the airport and eventually got in touch with a man from El Paso, Texas, who reported the money missing.

North Koreans salute, cry for late leader Kim Jong Il PYONGYANG, North Korea (AP) — North Korea’s next leader escorted his father’s hearse in an elaborate state funeral on a bitter, snowy day Wednesday, bowing and saluting in front of tens of thousands of citizens who wailed and stamped their feet in grief for Kim Jong Il. Son and successor Kim Jong Un was head mourner on the gray day in Pyongyang, walking with one hand on the black hearse that carried his father’s coffin on its roof, his other hand raised in salute, his head bowed against the wind. At the end of the 2 1/2-hour procession, rifles fired 21 times as Kim Jong Un stood flanked by the top party and military officials who are expected to be his inner circle of advisers. Kim then saluted again as goose-stepping soldiers carrying flags and rifles marched by. Although analysts say Kim Jong Un is on the path toward cementing his power and all moves in North Korea so far — from titles giving him power over the ruling party and military and his leading position in the funeral procession — point in that direction, his age and inexperience leave questions about Kim’s long-term prospects. Whereas his father was groomed for power for 20

He also faces the huge challenges of running a country that struggles to feed its people even as it pursues a nuclear weapons program that has earned it international sanctions and condemnation.
Kim Jong Il — who led with absolute power after his father Kim Il Sung’s death in 1994, through a famine that killed hundreds of thousands and the pursuit of nuclear and missile programs — died of a heart attack Dec. 17 at age 69. Mourners in parkas lined the streets of Pyongyang, wav-
ing, stamping and crying as the convoy bearing his coffin passed. Some struggled to get past security personnel holding back the crowd. “How can the sky not cry?” a weeping soldier standing in the snow said to state TV. “The people … are all crying tears of blood.”
Front-runner’s welcome: Paul arrives in Iowa BY DAVID ESPO Associated Press NEWTON, Iowa (AP) — Texas Rep. Ron Paul received a welcome befitting a man with a suddenly serious chance to win next week’s Iowa Republican presidential caucuses as he arrived in the state Wednesday for a final burst of campaigning. His rivals attacked him, one by one. If the 76-year-old libertarian-leaning conservative was bothered, he didn’t let it show. He unleashed a television commercial that hit Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich. In his remarks, lumped all of his rivals into one unappealing category. “There’s a lot of status quo politicians out there,” he told a crowd of a few dozen potential caucus-goers who turned out to hear him on the grounds of the Iowa Speedway. “If you pick another status quo politician nothing’s going to change.” The audience applauded, but by day’s end, it appeared that yet another contender might be rising. According to public and private polls, Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum is gaining ground in the final days of the race, yet another unpredictable turn in a fast-changing caucus campaign. “We have the mo-
mentum,” he proclaimed. The politicking was unending. Two politically active pastors in Iowa’s robust evangelical conservative movement disclosed an effort to persuade either Santorum or Rep. Michele Bachmann of Minnesota to quit the race and endorse the other. “Otherwise, like-minded people will be divided and water down their impact,” said Rev. Cary Gordon, a Sioux City minister and a leader among Iowa’s social conservatives. There was no sign either contender was interested. For months, Romney has remained near or at the top of public opinion surveys in Iowa, as Bachmann, Texas Gov. Rick Perry, businessman Herman Cain and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich rose briefly to challenge him. Romney has bent without breaking in the face of each challenge, benefitting from his own well-funded campaign, attack advertisements funded by deep-pocketed allies and the missteps of his challengers. Paul’s surge represents the latest threat, and in some respects, the unlikeliest, coming from a man whose views on abortion, the war in Iraq, Iran and other issues are at odds with those of most Republicans.
Did Tarzan’s Cheetah die? PALM HARBOR, Fla. (AP) — A Florida animal sanctuary says Cheetah, the chimpanzee sidekick in the Tarzan movies of the early 1930s, has died at 80. But other accounts call that claim into question. Debbie Cobb, outreach director at the Suncoast Primate Sanctuary in Palm Harbor, said Wednesday that her grandparents acquired Cheetah around 1960 from “Tarzan” star Johnny Weissmuller and that the chimp appeared in Tarzan films between 1932 and 1934. During that period, Weissmuller made “Tarzan the Ape Man” and “Tarzan and His Mate.” But Cobb offered no documentation, saying it was destroyed in a 1995 fire. Also, some Hollywood accounts indicate a chimpanzee by the name of Jiggs or Mr.

Activists: Syrian troops kill 9 despite monitors BEIRUT (AP) — Arab League monitors gathered accounts about the Syrian government’s crackdown on dissent in the central city of Homs Wednesday as fresh violence flared just dozens of miles away. Activists said troops opened fire on thousands of unarmed protesters, killing at least six. Though President Bashar Assad’s regime has made concessions to the observers, including the release of nearly 800 prisoners, the military was pressing ahead with a campaign to put down mostly peaceful protests. In the two days since the Arab monitors arrived, activists said troops have killed at least 39 people, including the six shot in the central city

of Hama on Wednesday. The continued bloodshed — and comments by an Arab League official praising Syria’s cooperation — have fueled concerns by the Syrian opposition that the Arab mission is a farce and a distraction from the ongoing killings. The opposition suspects Assad is only trying to buy time and forestall more international sanctions and condemnation. “This mission has absolutely no mandate, no authority, no teeth,” said Ausama Monajed, a member of the Syrian National Council, the main opposition group. “The regime does not feel obliged to even bring down the number of casualties a day.”

Habibollah Sayyari told state-run Press TV, as the country was in the midst of a 10-day military drill near the strategic waterway. The comments drew a quick response from the U.S. “This is not just an important issue for security and stability in the region, but is an economic lifeline for countries in the Gulf, to include Iran,” Pentagon press secretary George Little said. “Interference with the transit or passage of vessels through the Strait of Hormuz will not be tolerated.” Separately, Bahrain-based U.S. Navy 5th Fleet spokeswoman Lt. Rebecca Rebarich said the Navy is “always ready to counter malevolent actions to ensure freedom of navigation.” Rebarich declined to say whether the U.S. force had adjusted its presence or readiness in the Gulf in response to Iran’s comments, but said the Navy “maintains a robust presence in the region to deter or counter destabilizing activities, while safeguarding the region’s vital links to the international community.”

Unusual rules complicate race for GOP delegates BY STEPHEN OHLEMACHER Associated Press
Taxpayers dropping suit to save courthouse TIFFIN (AP) — Some taxpayers are giving up their court fight to save a county courthouse in northwest Ohio that is more than 125 years old because continuing the lawsuit could financially break the county, the group’s lawyer said. An attorney representing the group of Seneca County taxpayers said Tuesday that he intended to voluntarily dismiss the lawsuit with the Ohio Supreme Court, The (Toledo) Blade reported. Attorney David Carroll said the case was about the need for adequate court facilities, “and it was clear to my clients that the way the county could afford that was through the rehabilitation of the 1884 courthouse.” County officials have said there is no money to repair the building in downtown Tiffin. Carroll said his clients “just hope the
LAWS From Page 1 California is also addressing illegal immigration, but with a bill that allows students who entered the country illegally to receive private financial aid at public colleges. Many laws aim to protect young people. In Colorado, coaches will be required to bench players as young as 11 when they’re believed to have suffered a head injury. The young athletes will also need medical clearance to return to play. The law also requires coaches in public and private schools and even volunteer Little League and Pop Warner football coaches to take free annual online training to recognize the symptoms of a concussion. At least a dozen other states have enacted similar laws with the support of the National Football League. People 18 and under in Illinois will have to wear seat belts while riding in taxis for schoolrelated purposes, and Illinois school boards can now suspend or expel students who make explicit threats on websites against other students or school employees. Florida will take control of lunch and other school food programs from the federal government, allowing the state to put more Floridagrown fresh fruit and vegetables on school menus.

commissioners will do the right thing in terms of providing adequate court facilities.” County commissioners voted 2-1 last month to hire B&B Wrecking and Excavating of Cleveland to tear down the courthouse and clear the site at a cost of $373,000. The group’s lawsuit filed Dec. 19 asked for a temporary order that would have immediately stopped demolition, but the court last week denied the request in a 6-1 decision. removal Asbestos began last week, and documents filed by B&B with the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency indicate the courthouse is to be razed beginning Jan. 3. Demolition is estimated to be completed by Jan. 19, with the entire project to be finished by Feb. 1. “It’s very, very sad. I don’t know if Tiffin is ever going to be the same,” said Rayella
Engle, one of the 44 taxpayers who filed the lawsuit. County Prosecutor Derek DeVine said he had planned to file a motion to dismiss the suit, but stopped working on that after Carroll told him that it would be voluntarily dismissed. DeVine sent Carroll a letter last week urging him to drop the lawsuit that the letter described as “purely political in nature” and “frivolous.” Carroll disagreed, saying he believed the court ultimately would have ordered county commissioners to provide an adequate courthouse. But not before the 1884 building was leveled, he said. “It’s unfortunate that an historic gem has to lose its existence in the process,” Carroll said. ___ Information from: The Blade, http://www.toledoblade.com/
OHIO NEWS BRIEFS Plane crash hurts four LEBANON (AP) — State Highway Patrol dispatchers say four people on board a small plane were hurt when it crashed in southwest Ohio. The patrol says the Piper 28 went down shortly after 4 p.m. Wednesday near Lebanon in Warren County, about 30 miles north of Cincinnati. A fire at the crash scene was extinguished. Dispatchers say initial reports indicated one person with serious injuries was flown to a hospital by helicopter and three more with minor injuries were taken by ambulance. The plane crashed near some homes but there were no reports of injuries to anyone on the ground. A Federal Aviation Administration spokeswoman says the plane had taken off from the nearby Lebanon-Warren County Airport and the pilot was trying to return when the crash occurred. The federal agency is investigating.
Little snow; big savings AKRON (AP) — Little snow in Ohio has meant big savings for state and local agencies that are grateful for weather that’s helping their budgets. Summit County officials tell the Akron Beacon Journal they’ve spent about $90,000 less on road salt and at least $20,000 less on overtime related to snow removal than they had by this time last year. As of early this week, Akron’s snowfall for December was almost 7 inches below normal. Dealing with snow has cost the Ohio Department of Transportation about $2.8 million this year, compared to $18.5 million by this point in 2010. ODOT has spread just 13,000 tons of salt, down from close to 146,000 last year.
Patrols to be increased SPRINGFIELD (AP) — Police around Ohio are preparing stepped-up patrols for this weekend after a jump in drunk-driving arrests over the last New Year’s holiday. The Ohio Highway Patrol arrested 243 people over the holiday weekend that rang in 2011, up from 152 the year before. Police say people who are partying should stay where they are, use a designated driver or call a taxi. There’s an increase in the “Driver Sober or Get Pulled Over” TV ads, and more officers scheduled for this weekend. The Springfield News-Sun reports that authorities at the Highway Patrol’s Springfield post in western Ohio say habitual repeat offenders are a big problem. The post arrested two drivers within the last two weeks who had a total 16 convictions for operating a vehicle while intoxicated.
Kucinich opposing veteran Democrat in Ohio primary BY JOHN SEEWER Associated Press TOLEDO (AP) — Rep. Dennis Ohio Kucinich has settled on a primary run against fellow Democratic Rep. Marcy Kaptur, setting up a race between two U.S. House veterans. Kucinich filed the paperwork to run Wednesday. He had spent the last few weeks mulling whether to seek another congressional seat closer to his home in Cleveland after the Ohio Legislature approved a new congressional district map. The new map gave Kaptur a bigger chunk of her current district in the Toledo area, leading to speculation that Kucinich might consider running against Rep. Marcia Fudge, a Cleveland Democrat. He also had toyed this summer with the idea of running in Washington state. Kucinich, an eightterm congressman, announced in September that he would run against Kaptur after Republicans who controlled the redistricting process put them in a district that hugs the Lake Erie shoreline from Cleveland to Toledo. But Ohio lawmakers threw out that map and approved new congressional boundaries two weeks ago after Democrats complained that their first attempt to redraw the districts was too partisan and split too many counties in half. That led Kucinich to

While the first map seemed to favor Kucinich because it included more of his base in suburban Cleveland, the final version appeared to shift the advantage to Kaptur because it added about 90,000 voters in the Toledo area. The winner of the March primary will be heavily favored to win the seat in November. Kaptur and Kucinich, both 65, have had strong support from union leaders and blue-collar workers over the years. They call themselves friends of each other. Kucinich, who ran for president in 2004 and 2008, has a national following among progres-

sives. He is known for his offbeat, brash style since becoming Cleveland’s “boy mayor” at age 31. Kaptur is the longestserving Democratic woman in the House. She was first elected to Congress in 1982. Labor leaders urged her to run for governor in 2006, but she decided to stay in Congress.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Look out for some wacky results in the race for delegates in the Republican presidential primaries and caucuses. There might even be a state or two where the second-place candidate gets the most delegates, starting with Tuesday’s caucuses in Iowa. New GOP rules require states that hold nominating contests before April to award delegates proportionally. That usually means a candidate who gets 40 percent of the vote gets 40 percent of the delegates. But not always. The rules give states a lot of leeway to define proportional, and some states have been pretty creative. For example, in Ohio, the candidate who gets the most votes in each congressional district wins three delegates. Ohio has 16 congressional districts based on the latest census, so 48 delegates will be awarded this way. An additional 15 delegates will be awarded proportionally, based on statewide results. Candidates must get at least 20 percent of the statewide vote to qualify for these delegates. Under this system, it is possible in a close race for a candidate to narrowly win the most congressional districts — and the most delegates —
but come in second in the overall statewide vote, said Bob Bennett, a member of the Republican National Committee from Ohio. Early on, battles over small numbers of delegates won’t get much attention because candidates are more concerned about winning contests and building momentum. But if the race continues into late spring, like the 2008 battle between Democrats Barack Obama and Hillary Rodham Clinton, delegate totals become much more important. A tight race could draw a lot of scrutiny over obscure issues like this: If you qualify for 7.5 delegates under a proportional allocation, do you round up to eight or round down to seven? (In Ohio and other states you round up to eight. In Nevada, which is holding GOP caucuses Feb. 4, party officials are still working on those details.) “All these rules are important in close races,” Bennett said. “If you have a blowout, a sure winner, they don’t matter as much.” In most national polls, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich are the front-runners for the GOP nomination. In Iowa, Rep. Ron Paul of Texas also is polling well, raising the possibility of a split vote.

STAY WARM Dear Heloise: Starting off for a walk on a chilly day, I noticed the sweater I wanted to wear was wrinkled. I threw it in the dryer on low heat. Putting on the warm sweater was great for the first few minutes of my walk. As I gradually warmed up, the sweater cooled off. Now I plan to “heat up” clothing for all my winter walks. I think I’ll throw in my gloves and knitted hats, too. Another winter hint: When taking a warm bath in winter, put a well-sealed bottle or jar of body lotion or moisturizer in the tub with you. When you get out and pat dry, it will be just the right temperature for rubbing into your skin. — Y.K., via email HOT PEPPERS Dear Heloise: After yet another unpleasant encounter with trace oils (even though I wear gloves) when cleaning jalapeno peppers, I finally realized the same product that removes mascara and waterproof makeup works wonders on quickly dissolving the hot-pepper oils from knife handles, cabinet pulls and, above all, MY HANDS! I keep a package of makeup-remover cleansing towelettes in the kitchen. No more hours of burning sensation! — Valerie Taber in North Texas
WEDDING

Olympians of Science
Let’s Get Fired Up!
‘Tis the season...for exams
BY: NICK BOSHONEK
BY: KENNEDY MCIVER
BY: EMILY BENSMAN
To the average person, science isn’t exactly fun. For those of us that think otherwise, there is Science Olympiad. Science Olympiad is an awesome way to put your knowledge and application skills of science to the test. Science Olympiad is an academic competition where students face off in events pertaining to a specific, scientific subject. There are over 20 events in each tournament, ranging from earth science, physics, chemistry, and biology to computers and technology. Sister Ginny and Tracy Hall coach the Science Olympiad team at Lehman. Both teachers have their own specific events they help coach. Mrs. Hall deals primarily with environmental sciences and biology events, whereas Sister Ginny helps coach the engineering and chemistry events. Each event they coach takes a great deal of dedication by the students as well as themselves. Each event has a weekly meeting to help practice for the tournament events. Volunteers from the community also help with the coaching, including Jim Hemm, Gary Schultz, Kim and Steve Wenning, and Don Carnes. These people all work professionally in science or engineering fields. “Science Olympiad allows me to challenge myself through intense scientific workouts and to apply science to everyday life,” said Kane Pickrel. Lehman has had a fine run in the state tournament over the past several years, and expects the same this year. With many brilliant minds on this year’s team, we should be a serious threat in all of our competitions.
Now that the holidays are over, it is time for the dreaded semester exams. Christmas break was supposed to be a time to spend with family and friends, enjoying a much needed rest and relaxation from the pressures of school. For most students at Lehman, we didn’t have that opportunity, because we were worried about studying for the exams that soon follow the short lived break. Just as quickly as Christmas was here and gone, so will be the end of the semester. Unfortunately, the timing of exams affects both the students taking them and the teachers who have to prepare the tests and their students for success. There have been a few years that exams were taken before Christmas break so there were no worries after the school bell rang on the official last school day of the year. There are pros and cons to having the exams at the beginning of the New Year. Most students would rather have exams before the break so there is more time to spend with friends doing what high school kids do, such as sledding, going to the movies, or just hanging out with each other. Nevertheless, break is over and now exams are upon us. Students have many different techniques on how they prepare. Erin Looney is one who has diligently studied during break. She has organized note cards that are color coordinated by class, which shows that she is truly dedicated to study. Other students took the word “break” literally. Senior Ben Weber enjoyed his full holiday break and waited to study until after classes resumed, leaving only a few days to cram. Semester exams are scheduled for January 11-13.
A school without cheerleaders is a school without spirit! Cheerleaders may be overlooked, but they bring that pride, enthusiasm, and most of all spirit to every school. Lehman cheerleaders do just that! This winter the Lehman cheerleaders will be involved with many different things such as basketball cheer, competition, and spirit activities. The JV basketball squad consists of: Stephany McEldowney, Meghan Burner, Shannon Looney, Abby O’ Connell, and Lauren Vanderhorst. The Varsity squad consists of Nicole Larger, MacKenzie Brown, Emily Bensman, Madilyn Brown, Samantha Grise, Kaitlyn Schutte, and Lauren Goettemoeller. They are involved with Junior Cavs, pep-rallies, basketball team treats, decorating the school, and promoting this year’s theme, “Welcome to the Ice Box”, inspired by Coach Ice! The two squads went to a summer Ohio State camp and have endless amounts of practices to prepare for the season. Coach Melissa Safreed said, “For this basketball season our goal is to raise as much spirit as possible and to fill the Ice Box! The competition squad consists of MacKenzie Brown, Nicole Larger, Masie Sherman, Emily Bensman, Madilyn Brown, Lauren Goettemiller, Kaitlyn Schutte, Samantha Grise, Meghan Burner, Shannon Looney, and Lauren Vanderhorst. They have one competition in January, two in February, and one in March. The final goal for this year’s competition squad is for all of their hard work and preparation to get them to State and Nationals. Last year’s squad was named National Champion for Americheer Great Lakes Open Nationals in Chicago. Nicole Larger said, “I am excited for this year’s competition season! We are off to a great start and should finish the season in the same way. “ No matter what the cheerleaders do, they love to do it with spirit! This winter will be a great time with all of the fun activities and getting the school fired up for the basketball season.
#[Goodwin]ning! BY: MARIA YANNUCCI If you have ever walked by the gym between 3-5 p.m., then you have heard the shouts of Lady Cavs Basketball Head Coach Gene Goodwin. While it is true that he is known by his yelling, it is only a result of true love of the game. “I only yell to encourage the girls to be as good as I know they can be and so they can reach their true potential,” said Goodwin. If you ask the girls on the team, this is apparent to them. “Yea, we may get annoyed when he yells at us, but what coach doesn’t yell?” said senior Katie Williams. “In the end, we know he just wants us to get better.” Coach Goodwin was the assistant varsity coach to Coach Mark Lindenauer the last couple years and has filled the head coaching spot very nicely. While installing many new plays and defenses, his philosophy has always been “keep it simple.” He has done just that. With the absence of intricate and involved plays, the players are allowed to focus and improvise. Although the team this year is small, Coach Goodwin has taken what he has and run with it. Because of his leadership, the program is evolving into something respectable. This was proven early in the season by their heartfelt competition with Minster, the #1 team in the state, losing only by five points. The team obviously has respect for Goodwin and trusts him. He is always open to input and new ideas. This has brought the Lady Cavs to new levels and they hope to have a promising season. Best of luck Coach Goodwin and girls basketball!

Board, administration share success stories ANNA — Anna Local School Board of Education members heard from elementary principal John Holtzapple about recent successes in the school. According to the meeting minutes, Holtzapple informed the board that 97 percent of the students in the elementary school were represented by attendance at parent-teacher conferences. Holtzapple also reported that 76 percent of the third graders passed the fall administration of the third-grade achievement test. High school principal Rick Russell reported about activities in the high school. There were Christmas concerts by the bands and choirs as well as the induction of 34 juniors and seniors into the National Honor Society.
Technology coordinator Brenda Littlefield gave the board an update on the district technology. The school will begin integrating Google Docs in the classroom, online grade reporting and the district’s website. The board also approved the purchase of a school bus for the district from Cardinal for $85,154. The board also awarded supplemental contracts and approved indoor track as a club sport. Treasurer Dennis Raberding presented the board a 31-year history of valuations in the district. For tax year 2011, there was an increase in district valuation with agricultural property being valued higher and residential property lower. However, due to the loss of the tangible personal
property tax, the total valuation of the district is about the same as it was in 1991. Raberding also reviewed the bond payment schedule through the year 2022. The current millage assessed for the repayment of the debt is 0.5 mills. The board did meet in executive session to discuss the employment and compensation of public employees. The board also discussed potential meeting dates for 2012 and the dates will be set during the organizational meeting. The board also reviewed potential committee assignments for the upcoming year. Superintendent Andy Bixler will preside over the organizational meeting Jan. 9 at 6:30 p.m. in middle school room 209.

A total of 63 Anna High School chemistry students recently attended a chemical demonstration show at Wright State University. The students watched as Dr. Rubin Battino and Dr. John Fortman performed a variety of experiments to show students how chemistry works. More than 40 chemistry demonstrations were held, including the explosion of
balloons filled with different types of gases. The students also observed liquid nitrogen’s effect on different kinds of objects. Anna biology II students attended the Sam Rhine Genetics Update Conference at Oakwood High School recently. Rhine travels around the world lecturing about genetics.

Some are put away, Christmas was clothing to be worn from birthed in gift giving. time to time, awaiting When God gave us his the time when a new Son, born as a Baby in a
manger, that was the greatest gift of all. And it is the real reason for Christmas. It is a precious gift for those who receive it. But there are other gifts that come as a result of our receiving that first Christmas gift. “[But he ascended?] Now what can this, ‘he ascended,’ mean but that he had previously defrom [the scended heights of] heaven into [the depths], the lower parts of the earth? “He who descended is the [very] same as he who also has ascended high above all the heavens, that he [his presence] might fill all things (the whole universe, from the lowest to the highest). And his gifts were [varied; he himself appointed and gave men to us] some to be apostles (special messengers), some prophets (inspired preachers and expounders), some evangelists (preachers of the
Gospel, traveling missionaries), some pastors (shepherds of his flock) and teachers.” — Ephesians 4:9-11 Amplified Bible. After Jesus went back to heaven, he gave special ministry gifts to look after mankind. These were special callings for special purposes. Each one had a specific anointing to fulfill its calling. Just like the human body has different organs that need to work together to work correctly, the body of Christ (the church) has special ministries that need to work together for it to properly function. These are not vocations which people aspire to. These are not jobs you can apply for. These are not professions that you can academically study to master. These are callings which are controlled by God. For example, you cannot ever be a pastor if
God has not called you to that office. You could go to Bible school or seminary to study to be a pastor; but, unless God has called you, you will never be complete in that work. The good news is that God has showered these gifts on his people. He did so because he loves us and wants us to be blessed. “His intention was the perfecting and the full equipping of the saints (his consecrated people), [that they should do] the work of ministering toward building up Christ’s body (the church), [That it might develop] until we all attain oneness in the faith and in the comprehension of the [full and accurate] knowledge of the Son of God, that [we might arrive] at really mature manhood (the completeness of personality which is nothing less than the standard height of Christ’s own
perfection), the measure of the stature of the fullness of the Christ and the completeness found in him.” — Ephesians 4: 12, 13 Amplified Bible. God gave Christians people whose purpose is to train everyone to find fulfillment in doing their part in helping the worldwide church (all Christians in the world) to become spiritually mature and like Jesus. God provided pastors, for example, to take care of a specific church. Those pastors are to raise up elders, who are more spiritually mature people in the church to help minister to the people. In addition, the pastor is to look for helpers in the church to take care of minor, but important, things that make the church more efficient and effective. When those in the ministry gifts do their job, the people in the church will spiritually See GIFTS/Page 11

fill its calling. And it all starts with choosing to receive the ministry gifts of God. “So this I say and solemnly testify in [the name of] the Lord [as in his presence], that you must no longer live as the heathen (the Gentiles) do in their perverseness [in the folly, vanity, and emptiness of their souls and the futility] of their minds. Their moral understanding is darkened and their reasoning is beclouded. [They are] alienated (estranged, self-banished) from the life of God [with no share in it; this is] because of the ignorance (the want of knowledge and perception, the willful blindness) that is deep-seated in them, due to their hardness of heart [to the insensitiveness of their moral nature]. In their spiritual apathy they have become callous and past feeling and reckless and have abandoned them-
selves [a prey] to unbridled sensuality, eager and greedy to indulge in every form of impurity [that their depraved desires may suggest and demand].” — Ephesians 4: 17-19 Amplified Bible. When Christians accept and affirm the ministry gifts of God, it changes their lives. Their lives clean up. The really start to perceive God working in things. They finally develop Godly love in their hearts. They can finally reach their spiritual potential. When people’s lives are wrapped up in the commercialism of Christmas, there is also a void which never gets filled. That void can only be filled when people accept the true gift of Christmas, Jesus Christ, and the gifts he freely brings us. The writer is the pastor of Word of Life Ministries in Sidney.

Archbishop Dennis M. Schnurr will preside at 11 a.m. at the Cathedral of St. Peter in Chains in downtown Cincinnati. Auxiliary Bishop Joseph R. Binzer will preside at St. Peter in Huber Church
Heights, also at 11 a.m. Catholics around the globe have celebrated New Year’s Day as World Day of Peace since 1968. Pope Benedict XVI has announced the theme this year as “Educating Young People in Justice and Peace.” The Masses are cosponsored by the Archdiocesan offices of Catholic Social Action, American African Catholic Ministries, Worship and Mission. All are welcome to ring in New Year’s with the young people. A teen-friendly reception will follow each Mass.

clude singing and worship, preaching and praising the Lord. After the service, refreshments will be served by the teens of the church for a donation. Pastor Anthony Krummrey and the congregation of the church invite the public to the Watch Night Service.

distributes fat. Fat leaves the arms and legs and deposits in the face and trunk. Cortisone makes a person more susceptible to infections. It can bring about cataracts. It also can lead to osteoporosis. For lethal illnesses that cannot be controlled by any other medicines, high doses of cortisone have to be given to preserve life. In those instances, the side effects of the drug must be tolerated. Doctors always try to lower the cortisone dose once symptoms of the illness under treatment begin to lessen. Doctors are aware of the potential side effects of cortisone. Not only do they weigh the pros and cons of high doses, but they also prescribe medicines that keep in check many of cortisone’s unwanted side effects. Your
bracelet should say: Give me prednisone whenever it will save my life. DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I recently read several articles about the use of food-grade hydrogen peroxide. I am interested in using it for prostate and urinary tract problems. Are there real benefits from it? — J.C. ANSWER: Concentrations of 1.5 percent hydrogen peroxide are used by some as a mouthwash and at 1.5 percent to 3 percent as a wound cleaner. The same doses are used to remove wax from the ear canal. I can’t find any confirmation of the benefit of using food-grade hydrogen peroxide for prostate or urinary tract problems. I would not encourage you to use it. Food grade is a very high concentration.

Years ago there was a letter in this column that read: “Dear Abby: I joined the Navy to see the world. I’ve seen it. Now how do I get OUT?” I don’t want a letter like that from you. Military life is rewarding, but it can also be demanding, frustrating and dangerous. It requires making a commitment and sticking with it even after the going gets tough. With your short attention span and low tolerance for frustration, I don’t recommend you take ANY job that requires a signed contract guaranteeing you won’t leave. DEAR ABBY: My friend and I have a massage therapist, “Shelby,” whom we hire on a regular basis because she does an excellent job. However, it’s hard to get
a completely relaxing massage because she likes to talk the whole time. What’s the nicest and most polite way to inform Shelby that we prefer peace and quiet so we can enjoy the massage? — RUBBED THE WRONG WAY IN COLORADO DEAR RUBBED THE WRONG WAY: Shelby is not your buddy; she’s a professional who has been hired to perform a service. When you make your next appointment and she starts talking, say, “Shelby, when you talk during the massage, it makes it difficult for me to relax. Right now, I need to completely relax, and conversation is distracting.” If that doesn’t clearly — and politely — convey your message, then you need to find a massage therapist who is less verbal.
Dec. 29, 1911 Santa Claus was very much in evidence Christmas at the Olympia Candy Kitchen and the street in front of the store was crowded for hours. The enterprising firm had advertised for every child in Sidney and countryside to send a letter to Santa Claus, in care of the store, telling what they wished him to bring them for Christmas. Over a thousand letters were received and the store asked all the youngsters to come to the store Christmas morning to meet Santa. As early as 8 o’clock the scene in front of the Olympia was one of animation. ––––– A very large audience filled every space in the auditorium of St. John’s Church Lutheran Christmas Eve to hear the Christmas program of the choir and Sunday school, presented under the direction of Rev. and Mrs. E. Poppen. The auditorium had been tastefully and appropriately decorated for the occasion, the chief ornamental feature being the beautiful electricallylighted Christmas tree. ––––– In the drawing contest for school children at the dry goods store of William Piper and Sons, which closed Saturday evening, Robert Adams was awarded the first prize, a boy’s fine watch. Jessie Holland was awarded the second prize, a large doll. The third prize, a pair of boy scout gloves, was awarded to Virgil Ward. There were over 200 drawings entered in the contest.
75 years Dec. 29, 1936 City council at its meeting last evening received a report from the Brown Engineering Co. on water pressures through the city and what is required to remedy this hazard. The report was submitted for study and inspection before the next meeting. At the session, the parks and city property committee reported that, after making an investigation, the members deemed it not advisable to lease the city property across the highway from Graceland Cemetery for a filling station. ––––– The Iutis Club, local young men’s organization, will sponsor a series of boxing shows here this winter, as a result of a decision reached at a committee meeting of the club last night. The date for the first show will be announced as soon as details are worked out and approval obtained from the Sidney Boxing Commission. ––––– Announcement is being made by the Christmas Seal Commit-
tee that the goal of $600 assigned to Shelby County by the state organization has been exceeded. To date contributions to the seal campaign total more than $800 and this is expected to be increased by last minute contributions still to be received.
50 years Dec. 29, 1961 The newly opened Chalmer Fields Barber Shop, established six weeks ago in the former Dr. H.C. Clayton property at 223 North Main Avenue, has become the Fields-Rapp Barber Shop with William Rapp joining Fields. The twochair barber shop will operate under that plan beginning Saturday, they announced. Rapp closes his shop Saturday at 113 South Ohio Avenues, after 12 years of ownership. He has been a barber since completing barber schooling in Cincinnati in 1939.
25 years Dec. 29, 1986 The holiday vacation might be just what the doctor ordered to help control the outbreak of what is believed to be Taiwan-A strain of flu that has resulted in widespread absenteeism in Shelby County. Dr. Richard Breece, Shelby County Health Commissioner, said area doctors have advised him that they have been quite busy the past several weeks treating patients who are suffering from the flu. “There is an epidemic of what appears to be Taiwan flu,” Breece said. ––––– MIAMI (AP) — Orange Bowl officials, already disappointed because their game won’t have a role in selecting a national champion, greeted an Oklahoma football team that was missing colorful All-America linebacker Brian Bosworth, ruled ineligible because traces of steroids were found in his system. Oklahoma’s opponent, Arkansas, suffered a similar loss earlier in the week, when the NCAA declared linebacker David Dudley ineligible after testing positive for steroid use. ––––– These news items from past issues of the Sidney Daily News are compiled by the Shelby County Historical Society (498-1653) as a public service to the community.

REPLAY 50 years ago December 29, 1961 A competitive unit has been formed to meet the All American Red Heads in the cage highlight arranged by the Sidney Jaycees in Sidney Senior high school’s gym on Tuesday night of January 9. Bud White, past president of the Jaycees and chairman of its activity program, revealed the array of eight local court stalwarts for the special attraction. Two members of Sidney’s teaching faculty are included in athletic director Bob Miller and junior high coach Bob Westerbeck. Other selectees include Bob Cargill, Bill Lonsbury, Boone Wiford, Tim Wells, Danny Meyers and Bud Oen.
25 years ago December 29, 1986 Anna coach Mike Muehlfeld had just watched his unbeaten Anna Rockets whip Lehman 6951 at Sidney, and as the players filed by him he heaped praise on each and every one. Six-five Eric Fogt was unstoppable for Anna. He had eight in the second quarter and followed that up with 11 in the third as he used his height, strength and jumping ability to do just about what he wanted inside. He finished with 29 points and 15 rebounds, and Brad Reaman added 20 points.

4-2 T-Bolts next for Jackets BY KEN BARHORST kbarhorst@sdnccg.com He knows what “0-7” looks like and sounds like. But Sidney High boys basketball coach Greg Snyder isn’t down about it as much as you might think. “It doesn’t look good and nobody likes it,” he said. “But I look at the schedule and we’ve played some pretty darn good teams.” And that trend continues this week. Snyder takes his Yellow Jackets to Northmont Friday, where the T-Bolts are 4-2 this season. The Jackets aren’t going in off the best of performances, either. They made the long trip to Miamisburg last week to face a team that was just 22. But they lost by 43 points. “It was very disappointing just in the way we executed in all aspects,” Snyder said of the
84-41 loss. “The best way to describe it, it was a very disappointing performance. We didn’t guard them like we practiced, we didn’t move the ball, and there was a lot of one-on-one, and one dribble and shoot. And we don’t practice that way. “But Miamisburg deserves a lot of credit,” he added. “They really executed well, guarded us well, and made the extra pass.” He said in defense of his squad, Miamisburg played a much different style from what the Jackets had seen out of teams like Trotwood and Xenia in their previous games. “And we didn’t adjust to it,” Snyder said. So it was back to a few basics this week. “We worked on ball movement and sharing the ball,” Snyder said. “One thing we do an awful lot is look to pene-
trate without moving the ball. When you do that, you’re staring at five defenders. We need to get the defense moving first. “And defensively, we did an awful job of getting through screens last week,” he added. “Northmont will be doing the same thing. They are very good at ball screens.” Snyder said the Jackets will face probably the best athlete they will see all season in Northmont’s Jamal Trammel. He is averaging 10.7 points per game and leading the Greater Western Ohio Conference in rebounding at 12.5. What makes Trammel so dangerous is that he only had five more defensive rebounds than offensive. “He has a knack for getting to the basket and always seems to be open on the blocks,” Snyder said. But he’s far from the only

QUOTE OF THE DAY “I would say so. But we’re not going into this game thinking about getting even with him.” —Cleveland’s Josh Cribbs, on Steeler Jerome Harrison after his hit on Colt McCoy. He was asked if the Browns “owe” Harrison
ON THIS DATE IN 1957 — Tobin Rote passes for four touchdowns and scores another to give the Detroit Lions a 59-14 victory over the Cleveland Browns in the NFL championship game. 1961 — Wilt Chamberlain of the Philadelphia Warriors scores 60 points against the Los Angeles Lakers at Hershey, Pa., the future site of his 100-point game. 2006 — Texas Tech spots Minnesota a 31-point, thirdquarter lead, then rallies for a stunning 44-41 overtime victory in the Insight Bowl, the largest comeback in Division I-A bowl history. The previous record for a bowl comeback was 30 points, set by Marshall against East Carolina in the 2001 GMAC Bowl.
threat for the T-Bolts. “They’ve got a good combination of size and speed,” Snyder said. “Their two guards are both small but they’re very, very skilled, probably the best in terms of penetrating and getting into the lane.” He was talking about Devon Carter and Keith Richardson. Carter leads the T-Bolts in scoring at 17.6 per game. “Carter is phenomenal at getting into the lane. He’s ultra-quick,” said Snyder. “And he has a good pull-up jumper. Richardson is a ball hawk on defense. He reminds me a lot of Aaron Craft (Ohio State) the way he plays defense. “They really have everything you need for a good ball team,” Snyder added. “They’re seven or eight deep, have good shooters, and good post people. It’s definitely a challenge for us.”

OHIO STATE’S Jared Sullinger (0) shoots over Northwestern's Luka Mirkovic (12) during the first half of an NCAA college basketball game Wednesday in Columbus.
Bucks open Big Ten play with 87-54 win COLUMBUS (AP) — William Buford had careerhighs of 28 points and five 3-pointers as No. 2 Ohio State showed off its perimeter shooting in an 87-54 victory over Northwestern on Wednesday night in the Big Ten opener for both teams. Jared Sullinger added 17 points and 14 rebounds for the Buckeyes (13-1, 1-0), who dominated the boards 49-30. Deshaun Thomas had 16 points for Ohio State, which broke the game open with a 13-0 first-half run fueled by 3pointers. Jordan Sibert added 12 points, all on 3s. The conference’s top two scorers, John Shurna and Drew Crawford, had miserable games. They were held to 11 and 13 points, respectively, on a combined 9-for-30 shooting. The loss was the 31st straight for the Wildcats (103, 0-1) in Columbus, dating to 1977. Ohio State came in 11th in
the Big Ten in 3-pointers per game at 4.8. They had hit more than six in only one game, when they made 8 of 14 in a stunningly easy 85-63 rout of then-No. 3 Duke on Nov. 29. Yet they were 7 of 14 behind the arc in the first half alone Wednesday to build a lead they never lost. The Buckeyes finished 10 of 20 on 3-pointers. Freshman point guard Dave Sobolewski had 10 points and five assists for the Wildcats, who were beginning a seven-game span in which they play five ranked teams. Northwestern, down by as many as 19 points in the first half, took advantage of foul trouble for Sullinger and point guard Aaron Craft which forced them to the bench early in the second half. The Wildcats kept the deficit in the 12- to 15-point range. But the Wildcats started picking up fouls as well and Ohio State hit free throws to stretch the lead.
Buford hit four foul shots in a 10-3 run — all the points coming at the line — to push the lead to 59-39 with 11:55 left. By then, a refreshed Sullinger and Craft were back on the court and the game was well in hand for Ohio State. With Shurna and Crawford struggling — shadowed wherever they went, taking bad shots when they did get a chance — the Buckeyes took a 41-26 halftime lead. The pace favored the Wildcats in the early going. They pulled to a tie at 13 on Davide Curletti’s 3 at the 12:16 mark. But the Buckeyes suddenly found the range behind the arc and the game teetered in their favor. Sibert, just 8 for 31 on 3pointers coming in, hit 3 of 4, as did Buford. Sibert’s 3 ignited a 13-0 rally as the Buckeyes held the Wildcats scoreless for 4:36. See BUCKS/Page 18
CINCINNATI (AP) — The Bengals’ pleading and promotions finally got them a full stadium. Cincinnati announced on Wednesday it had sold out its final regular-season game against the Baltimore Ravens, only the second time the Bengals have filled Paul Brown Stadium this season. The other time was when Pittsburgh brought thousands of fans. Getting a full stadium was a priority for the Bengals (96), who secured only their third winning record in 21 years by beating Arizona last week. A win over the Ravens (11-4) on Sunday would secure the final AFC wild card berth. Only 41,273 showed up for the 23-16 win over Arizona on Saturday, a typical crowd this season. The Bengals announced after the game that they would offer a buy-one, getone-free promotion to season ticket holders for the final game. Players practically begged fans to come and support them. After two days of offering cut-rate tickets, they sold out the 65,500-seat stadium for only the second time in the last 12 games. “It’s a great thing,” defensive lineman Domata Peko said. “When everyone in ‘The Jungle’ gets up, standing and cheering, it’s as loud as it gets. Hopefully the house is rocking this weekend and we’ll put on a show for everybody.” The Bengals said some club seats and single seats were still available, but enough tickets have been sold to meet NFL requirements for lifting the local television blackout. The Ravens can clinch the AFC North title and a firstround bye with a victory on Sunday. If they lose and Pittsburgh (11-4) beats Cleveland, the Steelers would win the division and Baltimore would get a wild card, leaving the Bengals out. There’s a lot at stake for both teams. “Just to have everyone here in Cincinnati wanting to come out for this game, I think that’s something we’ve been wanting and been trying to get for a while,” quarterback Andy Dalton said. “I’m just happy everybody responded to it. It’s going to be a fun atmosphere, and we’re excited about it.”

Big Ten, Pac-12 to begin playing each other more NEW YORK (AP) — Realizing bigger isn’t necessarily better, the Big Ten and Pac-12 were looking for ways to get the benefits of conference expansion without adding members. The rich and powerful leagues announced on Wednesday a plan to start regularly competing against one another in the hope that together they can increase their national exposure. While the partnership is for all sports, the most noticeable changes will be seen in football. The two 12-team leagues are aiming to create a 12-game interconference schedule by the 2017 season that would have each school play an opponent from the other conference every season. That could mean a steady diet of matchups between heavyweight programs such as Ohio State, Michigan and Wisconsin from the Big Ten against Pac-12 powers such as Southern California and Oregon
— and less games against lower-level Division I programs. Increased competition between the leagues in sports other than football could start as early as next year. “From my perspective this improves the scheduling and creates more high-profile matchups,” Pac-12 Commissioner Larry Scott said in a brief phone interview. “It gets us exposure into the Midwest and East Coast on the Big Ten media platforms, the Big Ten Network and ESPN. And we hope it brings some rivalries that are rooted in a 100-year tradition of the Rose Bowl. The Big Ten and Pac12 have been Rose Bowl partners for decades. “For me it’s a creative way to accomplish a lot of things the conferences seek through expansion without having to expand,” Scott said. Scott said the idea bloomed after the Pac-12 presidents rejected the idea of further expansion back in October.
Scott’s league added Utah and Colorado this year to increase to 12 members and the Big Ten added Nebraska as its 12th member. Both leagues played conference championship games in football for the first time earlier this month. Big Ten Commissioner Jim Delany said his league came to the conclusion that getting bigger didn’t translate into getting better. “When we looked at models for 14 or 16 teams we couldn’t see how we weren’t diluted,” Delany said in a phone interview. “But we continued to look at ways to make ourselves more interesting, increase our reach, make ourselves more national.” And it does so without having to disturb — or potentially destroy — another conference. “To be honest with you there has been collateral damage,” Delany said of expansion. The Big Ten has members in nine states, spanning from Pennsyl-
BUCKS Thomas hit a short jumper before Buford nailed a 3 and then made the play of the game. Shurna muscled past the smaller Craft and broke free for a short jumper but Buford went high to block it. That seemed to set the tone for the rest of the surge. Sibert hit another 3 and Buford followed with a perimeter
vania west to Nebraska. The Pac-12 has members in six states, from the West Coast east to Colorado. “Because there is no overlap, it really helps,” Delany said. Both conferences will continue to operate autonomously and many details of the agreement are still to be worked out. Michigan Athletic Director David Brandon said: “It’ll be good for fans, TV viewers and our kids, who will get a chance to play in new places. It will also let us take our brands on the road to new locations to expand in ways we haven’t on a consistent basis before.” The Big Ten had planned to move from an eight-game conference schedule to a nine-game schedule, but Delany says that is now unlikely. The Pac-12 is already playing a nine-game conference schedule, but Scott said that could change.
From Page 17 jumper that was first signaled a 3 but then discounted to a twopoint basket after a video review. Even after Luka Mirkovic ended the scoring drought with the Wildcats’ second twopoint basket of the opening 12 minutes, Ohio State kept pouring it on. It led by as many as 19. Northwestern never got
closer than 11 again. Shurna was 3 of 11 from the field and Crawford 1 of 7 in the first half, combining for 10 points. Buford, who came in averaging 8 points and 4 rebounds in five previous games against Northwestern, had 13 points and 7 rebounds at halftime. In two meetings last
season, Ohio State, ranked No. 1 both times, won 58-57 in Evanston, Ill., and then pulled out a 67-61 overtime win in the quarterfinals of the Big Ten tournament. The Buckeyes have won 34 consecutive home games, the secondlongest streak at the school behind the 50 straight at home from 1959-64.

Shelby County continues to lead all area counties in percentage of donors who give blood, she said. Based on 2010 census data, Shelby County boasts that 16.6 percent of its eligible donors give blood, far exceeding the 9 percent national average. Both public and corporate blood drives are currently scheduled throughout Shelby County. The first public drive of 2012 will be held Tuesday at Sidney American Legion Post 217 from 11:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. The Farm Bureau Women’s Committee is the sponsor of this blood drive located at 1265 N.
