Such thievery costs a lot.

Credit card fraud cost Americans $18 billion in 2011, according to the “2012 Identity Fraud Report” by Javelin Strategy & Research of Pleasanton, Calif. Identity theft costs another $8 billion

annually, reported the Better Business Bureau. And Pro Seniors, a national advocacy group, noted that Medicare fraud adds $11.6 billion to the coffers of thieves every year.

“In 2011, the identity fraud incidence among U.S. adults increased 12.6 percent, rebounding from a dramatic decline in 2010. The incidence rate increased to 4.9 percent of U.S. adults in 2011 from 4.35 percent in 2010. The total population of fraud victims rose to 11.6 million U.S. adults in 2011 from 10.2 million adults in 2010,” reported Javelin Strategy & Research.

The nationally respected report also noted that while the incidences of fraud have increased, the amounts of money gained through fraudulent action have remained steady from 2010 through 2011.

2013 trial date set in Van Fossen lawsuit

BY KATHY LEESE A date for a jury trial has been set in a lawsuit filed against former Shelby County Sheriff's Deputy Jodi Van Fossen of Wapakoneta by two men affiliated with the Faultline Bar in Anna.

Trial is set for Feb.12, 2013, with a final pretrial hearing on Jan. 31, 2013, both in Shelby County Common Pleas Court.

Van Fossen Attorneys for Dan Rodriguez, 523 W. Main St., Anna, owner of the Faultline Bar, and Wesley Burnside of Fort Loramie, who worked at the

BOB

GUILLOZET Shelby County Commissioner Elect

bar, and attorneys for Van Fossen spoke by phone with Judge James Stevenson regarding the case, with a trial date resulting.

The lawsuit naming Van Fossen and three “John Does” was filed last fall regarding issues involving an alleged drug investigation that took place in 2010. The investigation allegedly involved drug buys conducted by the ACE Task Force, a law enforcement operation that no longer exists.

The lawsuit claims defamation, false light, tortious interference with business relations and intentional infliction of emotional distress. A jury trial is demanded.

Attorneys for Rodriguez and Burnside have been ordered to turn over a

complete list of all witnesses they intend to call at trial by March 28 of this year and Van Fossen's attorneys must provide a list of their witnesses by April 27.

Rodriguez and Burnside are seeking more than $25,000 in compensatory damages and more than $25,000 in punitive damages and legal fees.

Van Fossen has filed a countersuit against Rodriguez and Burnside claiming frivolous conduct and abuse of process, with her attorneys stating the original lawsuit is an attempt to coerce payment of money using the civil process as a threat.

Van Fossen is seeking legal fees for her defense against the claims in the original lawsuit.

“I would like to thank the Community for your support in my bid for Shelby County Commissioner and look forward to serving the people of Shelby County!”

YOUR

Stop living together

What kind of day will tomorrow be? To find out what the stars say, read the forecast given for your birth sign.

For Friday, March 9, 2012 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Be extra patient when dealing with everyone today because people are at each other’s throats! Friends, bosses and parents all seem to be opposed to each other and you. Yikes!

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Do your best to smooth over ruffled feathers at work today. This is a very poor day to suggest reforms and improvements. Keep your head down and your powder dry.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Parents and caregivers must be extra patient with children today.

Emotional outbursts are likely. Romance will be just as rocky. (Oh dear.)

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Because today could be stressful at home, be tolerant and patient with family members. Be patient with yourself, too! Avoid nasty discussions with partners, parents and bosses.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Keep a cool head in order to avoid minor accidents today, because they are possible. Something at work might create a dispute, especially about travel, publishing or dealing with other cultures.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Disputes over money or possessions are unavoidable today. They could relate to vacations, social situations, sports or even children. Stay levelheaded.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Today, the Moon is in your sign, “fighting” with Mercury, Uranus and Pluto. That’s why you feel irritable.

Just let this pass, because it will — very quickly.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Today is a classic day when you must demonstrate grace under pressure. You might feel annoyed with others or impatient. Don’t let this get you down.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Disagreements with others, in group situations, could be nasty today. Quite likely, money or possessions are an issue. Try to delay matters if you can.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Do not go up against authority figures today, because you will lose.

Keep a low profile. This is not the day to try anything. (Forewarned is forearmed.)

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) This is a mildly accident-prone day for you, so slow down and take it easy. Think before you speak or act. Everyone is a bit tense and jittery today. Just cool your jets.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Avoid arguments about money, possessions, fundraising and who controls what (especially in groups).

None of this can be decided today.

Knowing this ahead of time, you don’t need to make a big deal about anything.

YOU BORN TODAY You’re intuitive and have excellent powers of visualization. You’re fascinated by ideas and concepts and love to explore everything around you. You’re also very down-to-earth. However, you’re torn between your dreamy side and your practical, grounded side. Great news! Your year ahead might be one of the most powerful years of your life. Dream big.

I know the evils of smoking for the user, but what are the harmful effects on an unborn baby when the mother chooses to continue smoking during pregnancy?

— Michelle, Nashville, Tenn.

MICHELLE: You are a wise young lady to abandon your tobacco habit for your health and the health of your soon-tobe-born daughter. Now that you have stopped smoking, don’t ever consider returning to your old ways. As you are aware, nicotine is a powerful drug and smoking during pregnancy places a baby at serious risk. The harmful ingredients in cigarette smoke can retard the growth of the fetus so that the infant’s weight at birth is below normal. According to the Canadian Cancer Society, females who smoke during pregnancy are much more likely to have a stillborn baby or an infant that dies soon after birth.

P.S. Consuming alcohol during pregnancy can produce similar birth defects to the unborn child.

Romney win leaves School levies approved questions about Ohio strength PRIMARY

BY DAN SEWELL Associated Press COLUMBUS (AP) — Mitt Romney’s narrow Ohio victory allowed him to move on with Super Tuesday’s key prize added to his presidential resume, while leaving behind questions about his strength in the crucial state for November. performed Romney well in metropolitan areas and among voters concerned about the economy and picking the best candidate for defeating President Barack Obama. Despite heavily outspending rival Rick Santorum, he won by only 1 percent, however.

With all precincts reporting unofficial returns, Romney had 38 percent, with a lead of more than 12,000 votes, over Santorum at 37 percent; former House Speaker Newt Gingrich trailed at 15 percent.

“Romney is just kind of stuck in 30-some percent,” said Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine, a Santorum backer who said the former Pennsylvania senator can better reach the kinds of voters who will swing Ohio’s results in the general election.

“Rick Santorum re-

Man waives hearing TROY — A Beavercreek man who authorities allege raped a boy who was in the care of a Troy adoptive father who also is accused Zwick of rape and compelling child prostitution waived his preliminary hearing Wednesday in municipal court on one count of rape.

Jason Zwick, 29, was arraigned last week on the first-degree felony rape charge. If convicted could land him in prison for a decade and label him a sex offender.

At his scheduled preliminary hearing, Zwick waived his rights and now a Miami County grand jury will consider the case and hear the details of his alleged actions.

On Tuesday, the man at the center of the local, state and federal investigation, Kenneth H. Brandt, 39, of Troy, similarly waived his preliminary hearing as well.

Brandt is accused of allegedly raping three children under his care, ages 9, 10 and 12, and also compelled child prostitution through online advertisements by forcing the 10-year-old to perform sexual acts.

Zwick allegedly responded to such an advertisement, according to authorities.

Zwick’s $500,000 bond was continued by Judge Mel Kemmer on Wednesday and Brandt continues to be held on a $800,000 bond.

lates better to the average person, the Reagan Democrats, the blue-collar workers, the swing voters,” DeWine said Wednesday.

However, Sen. Rob Portman said Romney has demonstrated he’s the candidate with the best handle on tackling economic issues that are foremost on voters’ minds and is the best candidate to win Ohio back from Obama after the Democrat carried it in 2008.

“He’s the candidate best equipped to take on Barack Obama in November and when elected, turn things around in Ohio and the country,” Portman said in a statement shortly after The Associated Press called Ohio for Romney at 12:26 a.m. EST Wednesday.

The state’s Democratic Party chairman, Chris Redfern, scoffed Wednesday at Romney’s ekedout win, saying he had been bruised and weakened and again showed inability to connect with average Americans.

“He’s uncomfortable in his own political skin,” Redfern said. “You can try and dress up like it’s Halloween and put a pair of blue jeans on and think you’re going to get by the smell test that Ohioans provide you in these primary cycles, but it just didn’t work last night and it won’t work this November.”

Exit polls showed Romney did well with better-educated, higherearning voters and moderates, while Santorum

ran well with social conservatives.

Santorum spent much of his campaign seeking to cement bonds with working-class Ohio voters and stressing U.S. manufacturing, he had only a small lead over Romney among people without college degrees — a common measurement for the blue-collar vote.

Xavier University political scientist Gene Beaupre said that while Romney’s Ohio win might have been unconvincing, he showed some significant appeal. For one, Romney carried a four-county southwest Ohio region rich in conservative Republican voters who usually turn out in high numbers in November if they are enthused about the candidate — he captured Hamilton County in the Cincinnati area with nearly half the vote, an impressive primary showing that probably was helped by his support from native son Portman.

“I think in the end, he’ll run a campaign that will definitely appeal to those people because they don’t want Obama,” Beaupre said. “They’ll hold their nose and vote for him (Romney) if they have to.”

Meanwhile, Ohio is also in for a hard-hitting Senate race. Democrat Sherrod Brown, who unseated DeWine in 2006, faces Ohio Treasurer Josh Mandel, a wellfunded Republican who cruised past four other candidates Tuesday with 63 percent of the vote.

Rep. Jean Schmidt lost her bid for a fourth full term in an upset primary loss to Brad Wenstrup, who among other things poked fun at her habit of appearing chummy with Obama when greeting him at State of the Union speeches. Wenstrup, a doctor and Iraq war veteran, is likely to keep the House 2nd District seat Portman had for seven terms in Republican hands. Schmidt first won it in a 2005 special election.

Two Democrats in the district were separated by a few dozen votes in a race still too close to call Wednesday.

Another colorful Ohio political figure, former Cleveland mayor and presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich, lost the Democratic primary to fellow incumbent Marcy Kaptur in the 9th District. They were thrown together by remapping of Ohio’s districts because the state lost two seats after population changes.

Plenty of colorful politicking is still to come, though: Kaptur will face Republican nominee Samuel Wurzelbacher, who was thrust into the middle of the 2008 presidential debate as “Joe the Plumber,” a northwest Ohio voter expressing concern to Obama about taxes.

ROUNDUP

COLUMBUS (AP) — Voters approved 74 percent of school issues on Ohio’s ballots on Tuesday, helping some districts avoid cuts to programs and services.

The Westerville schools in suburban Columbus had planned to eliminate sports teams, bands and programs for gifted students. The Columbus Dispatch reports a levy victory from voters there will prevent those cuts and spare an estimated 221 jobs from being eliminated.

An analysis by the Ohio School Boards Association finds that 81 of 110 school issues on Tuesday’s ballots passed in the state.

The group’s executive director says 51 of 53 existing school taxes were renewed, while 30 of 57 new levies were passed.

Rick Lewis attributes Tuesday’s high success rate to school administrators demonstrating that they had made concessions and were trying to work under tough budget contraints.

Social media’s impact WASHINGTON (AP) — The 10-state Republican Super Tuesday presidential contest generated more than 530,000 comments on social media over 24 hours, far outpacing any other primary or caucus night so far.

The comments on Twitter, Facebook and other social media were tabulated by Bluefin Labs, a Cambridge, Mass., social analytic company that tracks digital chatter around television.

Men accounted for 64 percent of the social media comments about the race, while women offered 36 percent.

The comments peaked shortly after 9 p.m. EST, when Rick Santorum spoke to supporters at a campaign rally in Steubenville, Ohio. The numbers spiked again minutes later when Mitt Romney addressed his campaign rally in Boston.

A CNN debate in October received 548,000 comments, the most of any campaign event so far.

Super Tuesday placed second.

Teacher union members to be on fall ballot COLUMBUS (AP) — Ohio’s largest teachers’ union says 10 of its members will appear on the fall ballot in legislative races around the state.

The Ohio Education Association released the number on Wednesday after Tuesday’s primary. It includes current and retired teachers and school support professionals.

Union officials had said ahead of the election that educators were flocking into politics as a backlash against a collective bargaining overhaul passed by the state Legislature last year. Voters rejected the law limiting the bargaining rights of 350,000 public employees in November, after months of rallies, parades and demonstrations and a campaign topping $40 million.

OEA President Patricia Frost-Brooks says the ballot line-up shows Ohioans want a Legislature that supports the public education system.

Facebook tests rules SAN DIEGO (AP) — Marine Sgt. Gary Stein first started a Facebook page called Armed Forces Tea Party Patriots to encourage service members to exercise their free speech rights. Then he declared that he wouldn’t follow orders from the commander in chief, President Barack Obama.

While Stein softened his statement to say he wouldn’t follow “unlawful orders,” military observers say he may have gone too far.

The Marine Corps is now looking into whether he violated the military’s rules prohibiting political statements by those in uniform and broke its guidelines on what troops can and cannot say on social media. Stein said his views are constitutionally protected.

UK troops killed in Afghanistan KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — Six British soldiers were killed after an explosion hit their armored vehicle in southwestern Afghanistan, Britain’s Ministry of Defense said Wednesday. It was the biggest loss of life for British forces in the country since a plane crash in 2006.

The soldiers were on patrol in Helmand province at the time of the blast Tuesday evening.

British Prime Minister David Cameron said the deaths marked a “desperately sad day for our country.”

The attack is certain to fuel calls for the acceleration of a planned withdrawal of all U.S.-led coalition troops from Afghanistan by the end of 2014. The war has become in-

creasingly unpopular in the United States and among its NATO partners in Europe.

Washington has also grown frustrated with the administration of President Hamid Karzai, who has been making increasing demands of America in order to sign a deal that will allow some troops to remain past 2014, mainly in a counterterrorism and training role.

Helmand has been the deadliest province by far for coalition troops since the Afghan war started over a decade ago. Most of Britain’s 9,500 soldiers are based there, and the province also has thousands of U.S. troops.

The Taliban have fought fiercely for control of Helmand because it accounts for

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Taco Bell hopes to turn orange Doritos cheese powder into green — as in cash from its latest invention.

The Mexican-style chain planned to roll out Doritos Locos Tacos at midnight on Wednesday at its nearly 5,600 restaurants nationwide. The fast-food chain, a unit of Yum Brands Inc., calls the tacos that use shells made out of Nacho Cheese Doritos the biggest product launch in its 50-year history. Taco Bell says it plans to introduce a Doritos Cool Ranch taco shell this fall.

Deputy, 2 others shot

ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Lightning McQueen and friends are about to get the green light at Disneyland.

The park announced Wednesday that Cars Land, based on the Disney-Pixar “Cars” movies, is the headliner of four new attractions opening June 15 at Disney California Adventure Park after a five-year expansion.

Cars Land will be 12 acres of rides, shops and restaurants based on the movie’s town of Radiator Springs. Along with rides based on “A Bug’s Life,” Monsters, Inc.” and “Toy Story,” it further cements California Adventure as the Pixar park.

Also opening will be Buena Vista Street, based on Los Angeles the way it was when Walt Disney first saw it in the 1920s, and the Cathay Circle Theater, a recreation of the place where “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” premiered in 1937.

TULSA, Okla. (AP) — A sheriff’s deputy, suspected gunman and a bystander were wounded Wednesday afternoon during an exchange of gunfire outside a Tulsa courthouse, sending people scattering from a crowded plaza as an employee at a nearby library used his camera to chronicle the events.

Police spokesman Leland Ashley said authorities responded to a report of a person firing into the air between the Tulsa County Courthouse and the library. Deputies, including the one who was wounded, exchanged gunfire with the shooter, Ashley said.

“During the course of exchange of gunfire, an innocent bystander was hit,” Ashley said. He said the injuries to the deputy and the bystander did not appear life-threatening.

No names were immediately released.

Shannon Clark, Tulsa County Sheriff ’s Department spokesman, said the deputy was shot in both arms.

Emergency Medical Services Authority Capt. Chris Stevens said one man was taken to a hospital in critical condition and that two other people were hospitalized, one in serious and one in fair condition, and that a woman, who was not hit by gunfire, was “shaken up” and treated at the scene.

John Fancher, a communications coordinator with the library, told The Associated Press that he heard gunshots, then grabbed his camera and stood at his office window to take pictures.

“I see a guy barefoot nonchalantly just waving a gun in the air,” Fancher said. “I’m thinking this is not the downtown I remember working in. I start snapping off some shots and he sits down, just casually sits down, gun in his hand and three sheriff ’s come out of the courthouse and I can’t hear what they’re saying.”

Fancher said the man turned around and stood up with his gun.

OUT OF THE BLUE

DAKOTA CITY, Neb. (AP) — Call it McWashington.

A Nebraska woman has sold a three-year-old McDonald's Chicken McNugget that resembles President George Washington for $8,100 on eBay. The Sioux City Journal in Iowa says bidding ended just after 11:30 a.m. Monday.

Rebekah Speight of Dakota City sold the McNugget to raise money for a drive to raise $15,000 and send 50 children to summer church camp in Sioux City.

Speight says her children didn’t eat the chicken during a McDonald’s visit three years ago. She was about to toss it, then spotted Washington’s resemblance.

Speight stashed the McNugget in her freezer.

about half of all poppy production in Afghanistan.

Poppy is the main ingredient in making opium and has been a significant source of revenue for the militants.

Britain has lost more troops in Afghanistan— 404 after Wednesday’s killings — than any other country except for the United States, which has counted at least 1,780 deaths as a result of the U.S.led invasion in late 2001, according to an Associated Press count. The AP count of U.S. deaths is six less than the Defense Department’s tally. At least 1,484 U.S. military service members have died in Afghanistan as a result of hostile action, according to the military’s numbers.

More than 2,800 troops

from all nations have died since the start of the war in Afghanistan. There are about 130,000 troops from 50 countries serving with the international military coalition.

The Helmand deaths would be the biggest loss of life for Britain in a single incident in Afghanistan since a Nimrod aircraft crashed in 2006, killing 14 service members. It would also be the largest number of casualties in a ground operation for Britain in the country and the deadliest single incident for NATO since Jan. 19, when six U.S. Marines died in a helicopter crash in Helmand province. Last August, insurgents shot down a Chinook helicopter, killing 30 American troops.

GOP, Dems fight over women voters

Taco Bell adds new orange taco

McWashington nets $8,100

Page 5A

WASHINGTON (AP) — Is the 2012 election shaping up to be all about women?

President Barack Obama is working hard to woo this pivotal constituency in his re-election race. His Democratic allies are even accusing the GOP of launching a “war against women” after the Republicans reignited a new national debate over cultural issues, including birth control.

But now the Republicans — including Ann Romney and Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski — are striking back with a promise: Their party will win women by focusing on the real No. 1 issue, the economy.

Not that Obama is ready to give up that issue.

“I believe that the Democrats have a better story to tell to women about how we’re going to solidify the middle class and grow this economy, make sure everybody has a fair shot, everybody’s doing their fair share, and we got a fair set of rules of the road that everybody has to follow,” Obama said Tuesday as Republican presidential contenders competed in Super Tuesday primaries.

Hours later, Romney — the wife of GOP front-runner Mitt Romney — answered him.

“Do you know what women care about? Women care about jobs,” she declared on national television, as her husband waited nearby to speak.

“They’re angry, and they’re furious about the entitlement debt that we’re leaving for our children.”

“I’m right along with Ann

Romney,” Murkowski said on Wednesday. The Alaska Republican has been critical of her party’s focus on birth control policy when people remain worried about economic stability. In a telephone interview, Murkowski added: “There is clearly a direction that we can take as Republicans that gives confidence and assurance that we are focused on the issues that matter to women.”

Eight months before Election Day, women have become arguably the most sought-after voting group in an election year where the presidency and control of Congress are at stake. Females comprise a majority of voters in a typical presidential election year.

Women are a crucial voting group for Obama, particularly in the suburbs of big cities like Denver and Detroit. He would not be president today had he not beaten Republican John McCain by 13 points among women four years ago. The importance of winning the women’s vote may be magnified this year given that the fragile economy may weigh down the support of other groups that supported Obama strongly in 2008, such as Latinos and college-age voters.

Recent polling suggests Obama is gaining among women. An Associated PressGfK poll conducted last month showed his approval rating had risen 10 percentage points among women since December. The poll also showed that women approve more strongly of the way the president is handling the economy.

Piglet found in hotel’s lobby HONOLULU (AP) — Guests at a hotel near Honolulu’s airport found a suckling pig in the lobby, but it wasn’t on the menu of the luau.

They called the Hawaiian Humane Society last week, when a 5-week-old female pig was found running around the lobby. It was unclear how the piglet ended up there.

Humane society spokeswoman Tasha Tanimoto says the pig is healthy and has been named Pukalani. She will be available for adoption once she’s a little older. Tanimoto says the piglet is being bottle-fed by a volunteer.

Humane society officials aren’t sure of the pig’s breed, but a veterinarian suspects she will grow to be quite large.

Bin Laden’s lair was house divided RAWALPINDI, Pakistan (AP) — Osama bin Laden spent his last weeks in a house divided, amid wives riven by suspicions. On the top floor, sharing his bedroom, was his youngest wife and favorite.

The trouble came when his eldest wife showed up and moved into the bedroom on the floor below.

Others in the family, crammed into the three-story villa compound where bin Laden would eventually be killed in a May 2 U.S. raid, were convinced that the eldest wife intended to betray the alQaida leader.

The picture of bin Laden’s life in the Abbottabad compound comes from Brig.

Shaukat Qadir, a retired Pakistani army officer who spent

months researching the events and says he was given rare access to transcripts of Pakistani intelligence’s interrogation of bin Laden’s youngest wife, who was detained in the raid.

Qadir was also given rare entry into the villa, which was sealed after the raid and demolished last month. Pictures he took, which he allowed The Associated Press to see, showed the villa’s main staircase, splattered with blood.

Other pictures show windows protected by iron grills and the 20-foot high walls around the villa.

Qadir’s research gives one of the most extensive descriptions of the arrangements in bin Laden’s hideout when U.S. SEAL commandos stormed in, killing bin Laden and four oth-

ers. His account is based on accounts by an official of Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence agency who escorted him on a tour of the villa, the interrogation transcription he was allowed to read, and interviews with other ISI officials and alQaida-linked militants and tribesmen in the Afghan-Pakistan border region.

The compound where bin Laden lived since mid-2005 was a crowded place, with 28 residents — including bin Laden, his three wives, eight of his children and five of his grandchildren. The bin Laden children ranged in age from his 24-year-old son Khaled, who was killed in the raid, to a 3-year-old born during their time in Abbottabad. Bin

Laden’s courier, the courier’s brother and their wives and children also lived in the compound.

The 54-year-old bin Laden himself seemed aged beyond his years, with suspected kidney or stomach diseases, and there were worries over his mental health, Qadir said he was told by ISI officials and an al-Qaida member he interviewed in the border regions.

Bin Laden lived and died on the third floor. One room he shared with his youngest wife, Amal Ahmed Abdel-Fatah alSada, a Yemeni who was 19 when she married the alQaida leader in 1999. Another wife, Siham Saber, lived in another room on the same floor that also served as a computer room, Qadir told AP.

RYAN SMITH, of Anna, relaxes on one of the benches he built for Lake Loramie State Park. The project earned him his Eagle Scout designation. Smith is the son of Michael and Donna Smith.

Smith named Eagle Scout ANNA — Ryan Smith, a junior at Anna High School, has completed his Eagle Scout project.

The scout is a member of Anna Troop 301 and is the son of Michael and Donna Smith.

He has always enjoyed camping at Lake Loramie, so he contacted Jason Witman, Lake Loramie park officer, about doing an Eagle Scout project. Witman suggested that he build some benches and do some landscaping on one of the trails.

Smith attended a Lake Loramie Improvement Association meeting to ask its support for a project at Fort Loramie State Park. The association did contribute toward Smith’s project.

Smith decided to make benches for Little Turtle Trace Trail. He planned the materials and funds that would be needed in order to complete his project.

Witman requested that the benches blend in with the surroundings. Therefore, Smith

used brown, synthetic wood, so that the benches would last a long time.

Smith looked online for bench designs. He selected one from Garden Gate and revised it to meet his needs and his budget.

He talked with local businesses to ask their support. Donated material and funds for the project came from the following: Fort Loramie Dairy King, Fort Loramie Day Care, Gehret Nursery, Hoying’s Service Center, Lake Loramie Improvement Association, Lowe’s, M&A Muffler and Tires, Minster Supply, Wagner’s IGA, Wells Brothers and Western Ohio True Value Hardware.

After the donations were collected, the next step was to decide on the layout of the landscaping and purchase the materials for the construction of four benches. The assembly of the benches took place at Smith’s house with friends, family, and other Boy Scouts helping.

Then the trail had to

The event is free of charge to participants but advance registration is required at www.privatedutyhomecare.org.

The web conference topics include diagnosis of depression, association between depression, anxiety and memory loss, understanding which medications are safe and effective, along with resources and tools for monitoring treatment and improvement.

“One out of three older adults suffers from major depression,” said Sheila McMackin, president of NPDA. “Our goal is to provide information to help family caregivers increase the quality of

life and identify beneficial treatment and care options for their loved ones.”

The event’s expert presenter is Dr. Steven C. Fox, doctor of osteopathy and medical director, Wellspring Personal Care.

For the past 30 years, the primary focus of Fox’s clinical practice, teaching and research has been the care and treatment for the elderly and disabled.

He has been a trendsetter in the area of geriatric and Alzheimer’s care since the mid1970s.

assess a loved one’s limitations and capabilities and create a plan of care that will enable the person to stay in his/her own home.

Fox was the founder of Wellspring Gerontological Services in Chicago in 1985. He is an active member of several medical associations addressing aging and health issues.

The NPDA is the first and only association in the country dedicated exclusively to privatepay home-care providers. The NPDA, a nonprofit organization, currently represents more than 1,300 homecare agencies in 44 states and Puerto Rico.

be prepared. All of the sites needed to be tilled and the dirt leveled off before placing the benches. Once the areas were prepped and leveled off, a black weed prevention mat was laid down and the benches were put into place. The last step was to work on the landscaping around the benches and at the entrance of Little Turtle Trace Trail.

In order for Smith to achieve the honor of Eagle Scout, he was required to earn 21 merit badges, participate in troop activities, and complete a community project. His project also had to pass the scrutiny of an Eagle Scout Board of Review. After completion, presented Witman Smith with a certificate and a plaque at a Lake Loramie Improvement Association meeting.

Chuck Moeller, Smith’s scout leader, granted recognition at an Eagle Scout Court of Honor.

Smith believes this was a great experience and feels that it was also a good way to give back to the community.

2 juveniles FRAUD captured after escape from JDC Search continues for third teen

BY JENNIFER BUMGARNER jbumgarner@sdnccg.com BELLEFONTAINE — Two of the three juveniles who w e r e wanted by the L o g a n County Sheriff ’s Office have been captured.

Danny Jacobs Ellis Jr., 15, of Indian Lake, and Devante Smith, 15, of Florida, were arrested on Wednesday at 3:31 p.m. by Cincinnati police officers. Police also recovered a 2000 Oldsmobile Alero that was reported stolen in Logan County Wednesday morning. Smith and Ellis will be held in Cincinnati until arrangements can be made to transport them back to Logan County to face charges related to their escape from the Logan County Juvenile Detention Center. Caleb Jacobs, 17, of Logan County, is still at large.

According to reports from the Sheriff’s Office three juveniles, attacked a corrections officer around 8:30 p.m. on Tuesday and were able to escape from the Logan County Juvenile Detention Center. The corrections officer was transported by Bellefontaine EMS to Mary Rutan Hospital for treatment of injuries sustained during the assault. According to Logan County Sheriff Andrew Smith, it was a very serious attack.

“It was a brutal assault that lasted about 8 minutes,” said Sheriff Smith. “The corrections officer was treated at Mary Rutan Hospital and a second corrections officer was involved but didn’t suffer any injuries that required any medical attention.”

Officers from the Bellefontaine, Russells Point and Washington Township police departments joined deputies in the search on Tuesday night.

Ellis and Smith were being held on parole violations and the original charges against them remain unclear. Jacobs was being held on a bur-

glary charge out of Florida. According to Sheriff Smith, Jacobs had been at the juvenile detention center for less than a week and “the other two had been in maybe two weeks give or take a few days.”

It has been reported that Jacobs’ girlfriend and her vehicle haven’t been located. The Sheriff ’s Office is interested in making contact with the girlfriend and locating the car. The vehicle is a blue 2001 Ford Taurus with an Ohio license plate of DX23YJ. Jacobs reportedly has family in Lake Alfred, Fla. The Sheriff’s Office received information that he could be in route to Florida.

Anyone with information on the whereabouts of Jacobs should contact the sheriff ’s office at (937) 592-5731.

“Although fraud is more pervasive, it is less severe. Average resolution hours continue a steady downward trend.

The mean resolution time was 12 hours in 2011 and at least half of the victims spent less than two hours resolving fraud,” the report says.

“The best protection is education, so people know to ask a lot of questions,” said John North, president/CEO of the Better Business Bureau in Dayton. He will be in Sidney March 27 to moderate a panel discussion on behalf of the SidneyShelby County Chamber Commerce and of Dorothy Love Retirement Community.

He, Lenhart and Sidney Police Chief Kevin Gessler agree that there is little that can be done from a law enforcement standpoint, even when a scam is reported, so preventing scams from happening is critical. Most identity theft and telephone scams originate in countries with no extradition laws. Perpetrators can be traced to those countries, but there is no way to find who they are.

So local authorities and victims have no legal recourse.

“Sometimes people are shocked that we don’t stop what we’re doing to investigate their case,” said Gessler.

“We turn it over to the FBI. We don’t have the resources to handle it.”

“Law enforcement is doing little or nothing to stop it,” Lenhart agreed.

“When it gets outside the continental U.S., the jurisdiction is hard to do, even with Interpol. The vast thing the feds are working on is homeland

security.” They’re not devoting as much time to cyber crime, he added.

Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine, however, announced Monday that state initiatives begun last year against cyber crime have been successful to date. The recently created Economic Crimes Division works with county prosecutors and local law enforcement to assist in preparing criminal consumer cases. Since its creation last March, the work of the Economic Crimes Division has led to 14 individuals’ being charged with felonies and seven successful DeWine convictions, said.

In addition to establishing the Economic Crimes Division, he also worked with the Ohio General Assembly on cyber fraud legislation that will give the Attorney General the authority to subpoena phone records, Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, and payment information in suspected cyber fraud cases and prepare them for prosecution by a county or special prosecutor. Senate Bill 223, which passed the General Assembly in February, will enable the Attorney General’s Office to better assist local

law enforcement in criminal investigations, according to a release from DeWine’s office.

The first line of defense is the would-be target, all agree.

“If it looks suspicious, it is suspicious,” said Julie Peeler, director of the (ISC)2 Foundation, in Palm Harbor, Fla. The International Information Systems Security Certification Consortium, known as (ISC)2 , holds the gold standard for training, testing and credentialing corporate Internet security providers.

Chief Gessler strongly reminds everyone, “If it seems too good to be true, it isn’t true.”

The power of prayer

Superior science

BY: LEXIE FRONING On Sunday, February 12, at 1 a.m., John Richard heard a knock at the door that no parent wants to hear. He opened the door to see a sheriff standing in front of him. The sheriff informed Mr. Richard that his son, Connor, had been in a severe car accident and was taken to Miami Valley Hospital in Dayton by Care Flight.

Connor was driving home from McDonald’s after a basketball game at Bethel when he hit a patch of black ice only one mile from his house. His car drove into a ditch and flipped into a pole on the side of the road. Connor was left with serious injuries including four broken ribs, a broken pelvis, some broken lower vertebrae, punctured lungs, and a ruptured spleen.

After less than two weeks of hospitalization and much fighting, Connor was able to return home on Friday, February 24. According to Mr. Richard, “Connor is doing very well and he will be continuing rehab at home. He knows everyone has been praying for him and he knows how fortunate he is.”

After everything Connor has gone through, it is a miracle that the doctors believe he will eventually be one hundred percent back to normal. He will be in a wheelchair for one month, and after some time using a walker, he will be able to walk on his own.

When asked about the community’s support, Mr. Richard replied, “The support was unbelievable, incredibly overwhelming, thoughtful, and loving. It means the world to us. So many people who did not even know Connor have been praying.”

Connor’s recuperation has shown Lehman and the community that prayers are heard. The rest of his path to recovery will not be easy, so although he is home, please continue to pray.

BY: AMY WATERCUTTER The stress of picking a project, conducting research, designing the board, and putting together a science fair project has come to a close for most people, but it is continuing for a handful of students at Lehman. Students who received a grade of Superior at the LHS Science Fair on February 15 are preparing to go on to the District Science Fair to be held at Central State University on March 17.

Moving on to Districts this year are freshmen Maria Pannapara and Josh West; sophomores MaKenna Cabe, Bryce Eck, Spencer Staroska, and Grace Winhoven; juniors Lauren Bosway, Samantha Neumeier, and Katie Rossman; and seniors Katie Catanzarite, William Duritsch, Lexie Froning, Nicole Larger, Kandis Sargeant, and Dan Sehlhorst.

“It will be interesting to see how my project does at Districts this year,” said Froning. With projects ranging from Microbiology to Zoology, it is obvious that these Lehman students have a great opportunity to take their projects to the next level and really make a great learning, as well as teaching, experience out of reaching Districts. “Districts should be a great opportunity for Lehman students to showcase their knowledge,” remarked Bosway.

Clearly much time and effort has been put into these projects, and their efforts will surely pay off as the students prepare for the next level.

Good luck to all District Science Fair qualifiers this year; we wish you the best of luck as you advance, possibly all the way to state!

Sidney High will be hosting one of the OMEA contests on Friday March 16th. OMEA has a Friday event and a weekend event. The Friday event is for the bands that cannot make it to the weekend event.

This will be the first year that Sidney will be hosting this event. It is very exciting to be a part of. Not only will the band students be participating in the contest they will also be helping to put on the event.

While the students are not playing, they will be guiding other bands around the contest, assisting judges, acting as stage crew, and working the concessions. All the proceeds made at the concessions will go to the band. It will be used for new equipment, more uniforms, and the performance trips that we go on, such as the trip to Disney the band will be making in April. We wish luck to our band and all other bands participating.

This week's student of the week is Abby Wilkins. She is a tenth grader here at SHS. Wilkin's favorite subject is Journalism/ English and her art classes. She is in Chess club here. I asked her what her favorite thing about SHS was and she replied," The lunch food." She comes here half day, and then does online school for the rest of the semester.

Outside of school, she likes going anywhere outside of Sidney, reading, and drawing. Abby looks forward to driving and the Mayan Apocalypse. I asked her what she wanted to be when she grew up and she replied, "An animator, or something brand new or stable on during this journey we call life."

With spring approaching, it’s time to hit the track.

Lehman’s track and field team was very successful last year, sending many individuals to state competition. That’s the motivation for the team going into this season.

The team is led by Coach Dwayne Rowley and new coach (and Lehman teacher) Ruthie Baker.

Each coach has much knowledge in the sport and together, they are going to give Lehman the best chance for going to state competition.

Baker said, “I expect great things and new records from my runners. I am coaching track because I like Lehman students, I like track, and I want to have fun.”

There are several great returning runners from last season. There are two seniors returning: Sarah Davidson and Haleigh Spicer. Sophomore Justin Stewart broke the record for the 100 meter dash for Division III boys last year. Shot put thrower Quinton Malone is also returning with his talents after not participating last season.

Malone said, “My biggest goal is to make it to regionals, maybe state. We are young, but we have a pretty strong team. Throwers are hands down the manliest people on the team. I mean, I’m a beast.

Then we have Brad Montgomery and Quinn Monnin and we have high expectations for them. We have a freshman, Ben Montgomery. Talk about a powerhouse; this guy is built like a tank. We have a lot of great running talent returning like Justin Stewart and Joe Fuller.”

BY: MARIA YANNUCCI The Business II class is simulating real life stock market experience through The Stock Market Game. This game is run through the University of Cincinnati’s Economics Center. High schools across the nation participate in the program, but this will be Lehman’s first year. Lehman Business Teacher Joe Harrmann said, “I heard about the game from Kim Moon, an employee of the UC Economics Center.” Harrmann will be the moderator of the Lehman team and will learn alongside the students as to how everything works.

The class is split up into four registered teams, each with four members. Students participating in the simulation are given a virtual account worth $100,000. With this virtual money, they have the opportunity to buy stocks and make trades. This teaches the students how to deal with investments, mutual funds, and other topics. The game runs for ten weeks. The LHS students will take one class period a week to participate in the game.

As if gaining this real life experience isn’t a big enough prize, the top student teams in the state will win prizes.

This additional incentive will make students work even harder to learn the game. But win or lose, the experience is what counts. Someday these students may be investing real money, so much more will be at stake.

Students await the premier of the Hunger Games movie

BY TJ LINDSEY

On March 23, 2012 The Hunger Games movie will be making its debut. The one thing on everyone’s mind is, will it be able to keep up with the book? The bad thing about books being made into movies is the disappointment that some of the viewers may have. The movie might not be what they had envisioned when they were reading the book therefore they would be disappointed with how the movie portrayed it.

So far, by what I have seen in the previews, it looks like the chances of the movie being good are very high, but it may be too soon to tell. Senior, Chelcia Criss, has also followed the release of the Hunger Games movie, and says, “I feel that the characters in the trailer have been portrayed just like the book and that the story line is the same.”

People have to keep in mind that it can’t always be the way they want it. I think the movie will be good and that’s coming from someone who doesn’t like to read and loved The Hunger Games. We will see how it turns out here in a few weeks.

Clean air will make any car feel like it’s handling a little better. To get out front and enjoy that downforce you need to be able to get through the corners. Vegas is very fast for a mile-and-a-half track, and it can be one of the most challenging places for setting up a car. There is a fine line you have to walk between being fast and wrecking — and there is little margin for error.”

Desert Redemption

Denny Hamlin, Darian Grubb notch first win together in Phoenix

By MATT TALIAFERRO Athlon Sports Racing Editor

The second race of the 2012 NASCAR Sprint Cup season — the Subway Fresh Fit 500 at Phoenix International Raceway — served as a weekend of redemption for Denny Hamlin.

Fuel-strategy-gone-bad at PIR wrecked his championship hopes in 2010, when Hamlin's tank ran dry and he fell from first to 12th on the pylon. It was a blow from which Hamlin would not recover, as he lost the title to Jimmie Johnson the following week, and a 2011 hangover ensued that cost crew chief Mike Ford his job.

So Hamlin took a different approach to the 2012 season by seeing a sports psychologist and getting out of the NASCAR hub that is Charlotte, N.C. Ironically, it was to the Phoenix area that Hamlin retreated, spending a relaxing offseason on the golf course and basketball courts for a warm winter away from all things NASCAR. And after a strong fourth-place showing in the Daytona 500, Hamlin and new crew chief Darian Grubb — who won the 2011 championship with Tony Stewart — put the series on high alert that their pairing may be a potent one. Hamlin conserved just enough gas in the waning laps at Phoenix on Sunday, outlasting Kevin Harvick to grab his first win of the 2012 season.

“This is as good as it can get for me,” Hamlin said. “I consider this my offseason second home. I’ve got a lot of friends and whatnot out here

now, and so coming back to the track where essentially we did lose the championship in 2010 … it just feels so good to come out and be competitive again.

“We’ve been non-existent for 14 months, and now, here we come.”

Jimmie Johnson led 55 laps and was the dominant player through the event’s halfway point. However, a loose wheel dropped him deep in the field, and he spent the rest of the afternoon methodically working his way through it. Instead, it was Hamlin and Harvick who battled for the win over the final 60 laps. When Harvick’s fuel tank ran dry with one-and-a-half laps remaining, Hamlin cruised to his 18th career Cup win.

“I was going to drive the 55 car for five races for MWR, but actually, after the race on Saturday, after Victory Lane, Richard and I went to his bus,” Sadler told SPEED.com. “And I think Richard, along with some of the executives that he has, have just decided that it’s probably not in our best interest to do that right now.”

There is no word yet on who will man the No. 55 for the five races when Mark Martin and Michael Waltrip are not driving the car.

Classic Moments Las Vegas Motor Speedway Sterling Marlin’s 2002 season began with five consecutive top 10s, including the infamous Daytona 500 fender-pull, and two wins — the first of which came in the UAW-Daimler Chrysler 400 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway on March 3.

Marlin qualified 24th but quickly worked his No. 40 Coors Light Dodge near the front.

Having recovered from a spin while leading on lap 120, Marlin drove by Jeremy Mayfield with 16 laps remaining, holding him off after a caution slowed the field with 13 laps to go.

Marlin held the points lead from Rockingham in February through Richmond in September, but was sidelined with what Sterling called “a broke neck” during the 29th race of the season at Kansas.

win in the Nationwide race at Phoenix International Raceway was his first in the series since 1998. Sadler, who finished second in last season’s NNS standings despite not winning a race, has three Cup wins and one Truck victory since ’98.

Hamlin and new crew chief Darian Grubb led the most laps at Daytona prior to finishing fourth and followed it up with his first win since June 2011.

Consecutive third-place runs to start the season from a team that had only three top 5s all season in 2011. And with Vegas on the horizon, things are looking way up for The Biff.

Seventh- and second-place showings for the driver some have made a championship favorite this year. That’s all the more impressive considering he has a new crew chief and pit crew.

The Daytona 500 champion followed up that win and a week’s worth of media with a 13th at Phoenix.

In 2009, he actually won both of the season’s first two events.

Johnson and the boys did what they needed to do at Phoenix (fourth) after a disastrous Daytona — which included wrecking on Lap 2 and possibly losing ace crew chief Chad Knaus to suspension.

Back to a partial schedule, Martin has kicked off his tenure with Michael Waltrip Racing in style, with finishes of 10th (Daytona) and ninth (Phoenix). Vegas should be good to him, as well.

Logano, also under the guidance of a new crew chief, is getting off to the start he needed in a contract year. His ninth- and 10th-place runs are the best to start the season in his young career.

Rowdy was strong at Daytona — leading 52 laps — before finishing 17th when the craziness started near the end. A sixth at Phoenix was a respectable follow-up.

Edwards and company will find their footing, but having led zero laps with eighth- and 17th-place finishes to their credit is a little more quiet a start than anyone expected.

Much like Busch, Keselowski’s shot to win the Daytona 500 was ruined late but he rebounded nicely with a fifth-place run in the desert.

Stewart got off to a slow start last year too, and look how that worked out.

Being happy with a top 15 in Phoenix isn’t exactly what you want to hear out of the team.

A good run went bad when the engine went up in smoke late. Otherwise, it’s a promising start.

Made the most of a mediocre day at PIR with a solid eighth-place finish.

The results may not show it, but Ambrose and his RPM bunch have been pretty racy so far.

Anna one win away Gets past Badin 48-37

BY KEN BARHORST kbarhorst@sdnccg.com SPRINGFIELD — Anna’s Lady Rockets are used to winning big. Few teams all season have even challenged them.

But two games into the post-sectional tourney period, they are showing that they can do what needs to be done to win the close ones, too.

On Saturday in the district final, they led by just five with six minutes to go before pulling away to win by 18.

On Wednesday in the Division III Regional semifinals, they had their hands full with a physical Hamilton Badin team that jumped to an 8-0 lead at the start.

But again, Anna broke away from a tight game down the stretch and claimed a 4837 victory to go to 25-0.

The defending D-III state champs and this year’s topranked team, Anna will take on area rival Miami East Saturday at 1:30 at Springfield for the right to advance to the state tournament.

Anna turned the ball over five times on its first five possessions, and had 10 turnovers in the opening period.

Badin led 8-0 before a Morgan Huelskamp free throw finally got Anna on the boards with 1:50 left in the quarter.

Erica Huber hit a threepointer and Anna got the last four points of the period to make it 10-5 after one.

Badin’s physical play didn’t go unnoticed by the officials, and as a result, Anna shot a lot of free throws. They didn’t hit very well from the line, but they attempted enough of them to keep the game close.

They finally overtook Badin at 12-10 on a bucket by Natalie Billing with 5:34 left in the quarter, but Badin eventually led 18-17 at the half.

Anna freshman Cayla Bensman came up big in the second quarter with seven points.

“We actually felt pretty good at the half because we weren’t getting much scoring,” said Anna coach Jack Billing.

“And our two inside kids, Natalie and Ashley (Frohne) took only three shots apiece. But once we settled down, we were okay.”

Anna led by four at 28-24 with 2:35 left in the third quarter, but the lead was only two after three periods.

Anna opened up a 35-30 lead in the final period, only to have Badin connect on a three-pointer.

But Bensman hit two free throws when she grabbed an offensive rebound, and scored again when Frohne found her all alone after a Badin turnover to make it 39-34.

Bensman led Anna in scoring with 15, Billing had 11 and Frohne finished with 10.

Huelskamp led on the boards with seven.

Badin (37) Stang 2-1-7; Mathews 1-0-2; Fritsch 4-0-8; Gerbus 6-8-20. Totals: 13-9-37.

Anna (48) Huber 1-5-8; Billing 5-1-11; Huelskamp 1-1-3; Bensman 6-3-15; Frohne 3-4-10; Noffsinger 0-1-1. Totals: 1615-48.

Transformed Former Steve & Barryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s store in mall becomes winter softball practice site

BY KEN BARHORST kbarhorst@sdnccg.com

SDN Photos/Luke Gronneberg

THE FORMER Steve & Barryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s store in the Miami Valley Centre Mall in Piqua was transformed into an indoor softall practice facility this winter by the Miami County Flames, which has select wise, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not picking up a bat for a long time.â&#x20AC;?

Henthornâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s daughter was a softball player at Lehman, so she said she has â&#x20AC;&#x153;a special place in my heart for softball.â&#x20AC;?

She had some concerns, not the least of which was softballs hitting the sprinkler heads.

But the Flames purchased some netting, and the coaches went in and set it up to prevent that from happening. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gone very well,â&#x20AC;? said Henthorn. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was very hesitant on doing it, only because youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re talking about softballs in a vacant building. The main purpose in my job is to make sure everything is safe. But I did meet with the Flames and they assured me that everything would be okay, and once they installed the netting, it looked like it would be. I trust the Flames and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why I felt okay about it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s benefitted us, too,â&#x20AC;? she added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The girls have gone into the mall to shop and into the food court.â&#x20AC;?

Naturally, it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take long for word to get around. Henthorn said she got a call from someone at Piqua High School hoping some other girls could work out in the facility.

And lately, the Flames havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been the only ones using the facility.

Of course, if the mall lands another anchor store for the site, the teams will have to find another place to come in out of the cold.

But until that happens, the mall is really filling a need.

Lehman grad named top assistant coach Michael Edler, a 1991 Lehman grad, was rec e n t l y named the Illinois H i g h School Tennis Coaches Association Assistant coach of the Year for Edler 2011.

He was chosen for his work with the Warren All State doubles team that finished in the top 12 in the state.He was also acknowledged for coaching a sectional championship team.

He was one of 35 nominees out of 300 assistant coaches in the state.

Edler got his start under the guidance of coach Pippy Booth at Lehman, and also credited his teammates. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They kept playing and insisting of talking about tennis,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Warrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s head coach said Edler â&#x20AC;&#x153;was the point man with our all-state doubles team and has promoted the boys tennis program throughout the school. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of the best cheerleaders for our kids.â&#x20AC;?

PIQUA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; True, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a mild winter.

Snowblowers and snow shovels have sat pretty much unused in garages all over the place, and check out your favorite department store â&#x20AC;&#x201D; bags of salt taking up large areas, despite prices being slashed.

But even though there havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been many snowy days, the weather still hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t exactly been conducive to outdoor sports.

That has forced baseball and softball players to find someplace high and dry to keep their skills honed during the offseason, and sometimes thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not easy.

But the Miami County Flames, a select team which has four age divisions that include a lot of local and Shelby County softball players, have found a friend in Peggy Henthorn, the manager of the Miami Valley Centre Mall in Piqua.

Henthorn has opened up the vast area that used to be the Steve & Barryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s store in the mall, and the Flames have taken full advantage, scheduling practices every day but Tuesday all winter long. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were going down to Extra Innings (Troy) one night a week, but the only thing you could do was hit off the pitching machine,â&#x20AC;? said Doug Meyer of Maplewood, a coach for the Flames. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And we paid for that.

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d had dealings with Peggy before. She would let us use the conference center at the mall for meetings.

Steve & Barryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s was open and we asked if weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be able to use it.â&#x20AC;?

The space the area provides enabled the Flames to really step up their offseason workouts.

Meyer said there is actually a full diamond set up, with room for another. And there are three batting cages. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And with the low ceiling, it teaches the girls to throw BBs,â&#x20AC;?

Meyer said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We started the middle of November,â&#x20AC;? he added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most of the girls in traveling leagues love to play ball, so if they can play in the winter, they will. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had great turnouts for all the teams. There are some drawbacks, but the biggest key is keeping the rust off them. Other-

Hockey dad faces charges for using laser pointer WINTHROP, Mass.

(AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A Massachusetts man accused of aiming a laser pointer into the eyes of the opposing goalie at his daughterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s high school hockey game is facing criminal charges.

Authorities announced Tuesday that Joseph 42-year-old Cordes will be sum-

moned to East Boston District Court to face a charge of disturbing the peace.

Police say Cordes pointed the light at the Medway/Ashland goalie during a Feb. 29 tournament game in Winthrop, north of Boston. He was ordered out of the arena by a school official.

Winthrop won 3-1,

prompting a protest from the Medway/Ashland parents who asked that the game be replayed. The governing body of high school sports in Massachusetts denied the appeal.

Manning: final destination unknown MIAMI (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Touchdown, Peyton Manning.

The former Indianapolis Colts quarterback landed late Wednesday afternoon in South Florida, drawing the attention of local TV news helicopters and NFL fans everywhere.

His private plane arrived at a small airport 30 minutes from the Miami Dolphinsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; complex, but he then rode off in a different direction

with the news media in pursuit. When his van reached Miami Beach, it pulled over in a church parking lot, and Manning emerged to tell reporters South Florida might not be his final destination.

Manning has a condo here and has been working out with former Colts teammate Reggie Wayne, who lives in South Florida. Manningâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not necessarily Dolphins-bound, he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have no idea who

wants me, what team wants me, how this process works,â&#x20AC;? Manning said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like college recruiting where you go take visits. I mean, this is all so new to me.â&#x20AC;?

One TV station broadcast the interview live, even staying with the audio feed when the video turned shaky.

Manning landed in South Florida just four hours after he bid the Colts goodbye at a news conference.

GOODYEAR, Ariz.

(AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Right-hander Bronson Arroyo got off to a much better start this spring.

Arroyo pitched three innings in his spring debut and gave up a homer by Jeremy Hermida that helped splitsquad San Diego beat the Cincinnati Reds 5-0 on Wednesday.

Hermida hit a solo shot in the first off Arroyo, who allowed a clubrecord 46 homers last season. The right-hander contracted mononucleosis during spring training last year and it lingered into the season, leading to a 9-14 record.

Arroyo pitched 199 innings last year in spite of the lingering effects of the illness. It was the first time in seven seasons that he pitched fewer than 200 innings.

He was scheduled to go two innings on Wednesday, but threw so few pitches that he was allowed to three. He gave up one run on two hits and a walk. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel good,â&#x20AC;? said Arroyo, who spent the offseason getting fully recovered from the â&#x20AC;&#x153;My mononucleosis. body feels more lively and less achy than my first time out in years past. I felt the ball was coming out of my hand better than it has in a couple years.â&#x20AC;?

Nick Hundley added a two-run home run off Ron Mahay.

Left-hander Cory Luebke, who earned a role in the Padresâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; rotation after beginning last season in the bullpen, struck out four and picked off two during his two scoreless innings. managed Cincinnati three hits overall off seven Padres pitchers.

Jay Bruce and Scott Rolen had doubles.

Zack Cozart walked in the first inning but was picked off by Luebke.

Bruce doubled in the second inning but was also picked off. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I felt all right,â&#x20AC;? said Luebke, who is trying to earn a spot in the rotation out of spring training. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was good to get back out there. You think you wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get jitters every year when this happens, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good to get back out there to know you didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget how to throw in the offseason.â&#x20AC;?

The Padresâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; lineup featured three former Reds â&#x20AC;&#x161;Ă&#x201E;ĂŽ Hermida, Yonder Alonso and Yasmani Grandall. Alonso was the Redsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; first draft pick in the June 2008 draft.

Grandall, who was the designated hitter, was the Redsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; first pick in 2010.

What’s happened to the Gospel?

Sometimes I straight from think I’m crazy.

As I finsaw how many “Christian” cable speaks ish up preaching channels there through 2 Timowere. I listened The Rev. Harry thy at our Peterson and then church the anchanged chanswer is pretty nels and I heard a lot of clear. It says in 2Tim. 4:1things but I didn’t hear 5 “I solemnly charge you the Gospel of Christ. in the presence of God I heard the gospel of and of Christ Jesus who greed. The gospel of is to judge the living and health. The gospel of hap- the dead and by His appiness. But I honestly pearing and His Kingdidn’t hear the true mes- dom preach the Word. Be sage of Jesus. ready in season and out People were boasting of season. Reprove, reabout the stuff they’ve buke, exhort with great acquired. How lives are patience and instruction lived differently and how for the time will come serving the poor is the when they will not engospel. Saw a lot of hyped dure sound doctrine but up emotional songs, and wanting to have their men and women yelling ears tickled they will acsome “new revelation” cumulate for themselves

teachers in accordance to their own desires and will turn away their ears from the truth and will turn aside to myths. But you, be sober in all things, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.”

Well. That explains it.

You see the letters written to pastor Timothy by the apostle Paul are the most well explained words to describe the true nature of real church ministry.

Read those two letters sometime. We seem to be in some bizarre “marketdriven, positive-affirmation, gospel-promoting culture” that is driving me nuts.

Some of the things I hear that is passing for the gospel are absolutely incompatible with the Bible. Bad theology has repercussions.

Paul is telling Timothy to be faithful in breaching, and be bold in expos-

ing and refuting error, and to be an example of godliness to his church, and be willing to suffer hardship and persecution for the sake of Jesus.

That really applies to all of us.

Think about it. Pastors who live lives and godly examples in their daily lives for their congregations to follow. (I’m not even going to touch that one right now). Exposing error in the church. Even Charles Spurgeon got ousted from his church for doing that. Be willing to suffer persecution. One of my favorite theologians says, “It’s your best life now … if you’re going to hell.”

How true. This place is not our home. Don’t get too comfortable here.

Heaven is the promise.

No sickness, no sorrow and no sin.

I worry about how preaching is diminished and the most fragile of sheep get hurt by our un-

willingness to just believe what God has said and preach what God has proclaimed.

Pastor Greg Gilbert wrote a book called “What is the Gospel?” and he listed four things that are repeated when the Gospel is preached: 1.

Who made us and to whom are we accountable? 2. What is our problem? In other words, are we in trouble and why? 3.

What is God’s solution to that problem? How has He acted to save us from it? 4. How do I — myself, right here, right now — how do I come to be included in that salvation?

What makes this good news for me and not just for someone else? The Gospel is good news.

Jesus came to save us from our sin and restore us to right relationship with the One who created and cares for us.

The writer is the pastor at Cornerstone Assembly of God in Sidney.

Sidney Daily News,Thursday, March 8, 2012

Page 3B

Students join mission Teaching staff honored Though most students plan to kick back and relax as soon as classes end for the summer, several Ashland University students will dedicate the first few weeks of their vacation to helping those less fortunate than themselves.

Junior Heather Bumbalough, of West Liberty, is among the Ashland University students who will participate in the Panama mission trip this summer. The trip is intended not only to help improve the lives of those who live in Panama, but also to allow volunteers to grow spiritually.

Bumbalough, who is majoring in dietetics, is the daughter of Lee and Kathryn Bumbalough, of West Liberty.

The Panama mission trip, which will take place between May 1226, is one of the trips offered by the University’s Isaiah Project this year.

The name and mission statement of the Isaiah Project’s come from the Bible verse found in Isaiah 6:8, “Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, ‘Whom shall I send?

And who will go for us?’

And I said, ‘Here I am, send me!’”

Dr. Dan Lawson, dean of religious life, will accompany the students on the trip, and sophomore Tyler Franz, of Fletcher, will serve as the team leader.

The goals for this trip are to bring Christ to people of Panama and also for the students and faculty to become closer to Christ through the experience. Team members will be working with a sports ministry, an outreach to the indigenous people in Panama, a children’s ministry, and a school feeding program for the poor.

The members of Franz’s team seek to help others to learn about the gospel of who Jesus Christ is, and what He has done for them. According to Franz, this trip will present his team with an opportunity to help others learn and grow in their relationship with God so that they might know Him more.

“This will be my first mission trip and the first time out of the country,” said Bumbalough. “Most

importantly, I want to do God’s work by serving people in need and spreading the hope found in Jesus Christ. I also feel like this trip is going to put me out of my comfort zone, and I’m excited to overcome the challenges it brings. It’s going to be a life-changing experience, where I grow in my relationships with others and grow on a personal level.”

“This experience will open our eyes to view things outside of America and its culture,” Franz explained, “and it will help us develop an awareness of the world at hand and its need for its savior, Christ Jesus.”

Ashland University (www.ashland.edu) is a mid-sized, private university conveniently located a short distance from Akron, Cleveland and Columbus. Ashland University values the individual student and offers a unique educational experience that combines the challenge of strong, applied academic programs with a faculty and staff who build nurturing relationships with their students.

Full Gospel Community Church, 950 S. Children’s Home Road, recently celebrated the hard work and dedication of its teaching staff.

All the teachers, along with their spouses, were treated to a catered dinner. They were also each given a token of appreciation. Their efforts were recognized by Youth Director Terry Campbell

and Pastor Jeff Hill.

Campbell spoke about having a purpose and a passion. Teaching is not just something you wake up and say you are going to do, he said. Teaching is a direct calling from the Lord. Teachers must be dedicated and faithful to the calling. He also spoke concerning the parable of the mustard seed from Matthew 13:31. Teachers

are the ones who are spreading the seed, which is the word of God. During the Sunday morning service, Hill recognized one teacher, in particular. Sister Faye Kelly has been teaching for more than years. Hill presented her with a plaque signifying the gratitude and love of the church for her and her commitment to teaching.

LinkLink to the Your Breakfast planned Your Community Central Bible Ministry, 113 Kossuth St., will be serving a pancake breakfast in the basement of the church Saturday. Access is ground level from the back parking lot. The breakfast will begin at 8 a.m. and last until 10:30 a.m.

The breakfast will include pancakes, sausage,

coffee, milk or orange juice. A $5 donation will be asked for all diners age 11 and older, and a $2.50 donation for children 10 and under.

All funds raised at this pancake breakfast will be used to send the teenagers to summer camp. The public is invited.

Diskus (salmeterol).

Steroids, relatives of cortisone, calm inflamed airways. They, too, make it easier for air, with its oxygen, to reach the lungs and then the bloodstream. Flovent Diskus (fluticasone) is such a drug.

Oxygen isn’t really a medicine, but it is an important treatment for those with severe COPD. Conditioning exercises are another important aspect of COPD treatment. Many hospitals sponsor such programs for their patients.

An annual influenza (flu) vaccine is a must for COPD patients.

DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I have a son, 47, who is very reluctant to see a dentist. He was told several years ago

that he had the beginning of some cavities.

He recently went to a dental school and had his teeth cleaned and Xrayed. He says they were supposed to call him, but he never got a call. He comes up with many reasons why he drags his feet about this.

One is that he is too busy. Another is that it costs too much. Please comment. — S.B. ANSWER: All health authorities recommend dental visits spaced six months apart. Dental health has a profound impact on total body health. He must call to find the results of his Xrays. It’s plain dumb to have them done and not find out if anything needs attention. He can’t be too busy to make a phone call.

why the grandmother would continue to misspell it. Their comments: DEAR ABBY: I suspect that Grandma doesn’t like that particular spelling of the child’s name. These days people have come up with unusual spellings for common names.

Instead of Rebecca, you have Rebekka. For Ashley, you have Ashlee, Ashleigh and Ashli.

Karen can now be Caryn or Caren. This makes it especially difficult for anyone with an unusually spelled name. You can bet that no one will get it right. So I imagine this is Grandma’s way of expressing her disapproval of the spelling of the child’s name. — ONLY THE SPELLING HAS BEEN CHANGED DEAR ABBY: My sweet grandmother mis-

spelled my name every time she wrote to us. She had only a third-grade education, lived in a home with no electricity, raised four girls alone after her husband died and continued to maintain the family farm.

She wrote with a pencil that was sharpened with a knife and spelled my name — Karen — the way it sounded to her, “Kron.” I was never insulted.

I always laughed about the fact that it looked as if my name were that of a cave person.

Of course, I knew she loved me unconditionally. Maybe that is why “HNIJ” seems to have a problem with her son’s grandmother. Could it be she feels Grandma doesn’t show enough love to the boy? — CAVE WOMAN KRON

AND ENDS

FRANKLIN, La. (AP) — Two men walking across country from opposite coasts ran into each other in south Louisiana.

The Morgan City Daily Review reports that 23year-old Andrew Forsthoefel of Chadds Ford, Pa., and 36-year-old George Throop of Vancouver, Wash., met Sunday in Franklin and continued their walks Monday.

Forsthoeful had walked about 1,400 miles since leaving Pennsylvania on Oct. 14. He’s listening to people’s stories with the idea that everyone’s a hero. His blog says

Throop was only the third fellow-traveler he’s met.

The others were some hitchhikers outside Greenville, S.C., and Bong Song — a South Korean who’s bicycling around the world, and whom he met in Pascagoula, Miss.

Throop has walked more than 3,300 miles since leaving Vancouver on Sept. 20, 2009, to inspire healthier lifestyles.
