Early voting gaining popularity Few local races, issues to be decided

BY MELANIE YINGST Staff Writer myingst@tdnpublishing.com

Police, protestors clash after riot Anger over a deadly soccer riot erupted in fresh clashes that injured nearly 400 people Thursday as security forces fired tear gas at fans and other protesters who accused police of failing to stop the bloodshed.

The violence — which comes as security has been steadily deteriorating — threatened to plunge the country into a new crisis nearly a year after a popular uprising forced former leader Hosni Mubarak to step down.

The presidential primaries are still in the works, but Miami County registered voters can get a jump start prior to the March 6 election on “Super Tuesday.”

According to Miami County Board of Elections Director Steve

Quillen, early voting has become increasingly popular.

“More and more people are voting early,” Quillen said Thursday.

Early voting for this year’s primary began last Tuesday and approximately 70 voters have already cast their votes so far this week.

Quillen said early voting is easy by a visit to the board of elections

MIAMI COUNTY at the Miami County Courthouse, located at 215 W. Main St., Troy.

“Voting tends to be lighter in primaries,” Quillen said. “Turnout is low compared to November elections in general.”

Quillen said Miami County voter turnout for the 2008 presidential election was 74 percent, a very high turnout rate for the

county.

He said those casting votes using a Republican ballot still will see six candidates for the GOP’s nomination despite Jon Huntsman and Rick Perry dropping out of the race. Other candidates also may concede prior to the March 6 primary, but still appear on the Ohio ballot.

“That’s one of the risks you run

Obama’s remarks Thursday at the National Prayer Breakfast were his most explicit account of how his personal religious beliefs factor into his decisionmaking on the nation’s pressing problems.

during a primary election and voting early,” Quillen said.

There are no county-wide issues on the March 6 ballot, which is “kind of rare,” Quillen said. Pleasant Hill voters have a liquor issue, and Huber Heights residents have an income tax levy to decide.

The only contested race will be for county coroner on the Republican ballot between incumbent Dr. Bruce Nordquist and contested by Dr. Stephen Huffman.

Quillen said early voting is an easy way to avoid long lines at the polls. Also, Quillen said many registered voters prefer to come to the board of elections to pick up a paper ballot to study the issues prior to casting their vote.

“It’s definitely gaining in popularity because people don’t want to wait in lines at the polls or even here two to three days before a presidential election for example,” Quillen said.

Voting turnout Rape points to GOP enthusiasm gap

• CONTINUED FROM A1

WASHINGTON (AP) — Voter turnout numbers are pointing to a potential enthusiasm deficit for Republican presidential front-runner Mitt Romney.

In the four states to vote so far in the GOP nominating race, turnout has been strongest where people were energized to vote for somebody else.

In Florida, where Romney grabbed a commanding 46 percent of the vote this week, overall turnout was down significantly from four years ago.

A county-by-county look at the Florida numbers shows that turnout was up from four years ago in counties where rival Newt Gingrich did well and down in counties where Romney dominated, according to Michael McDonald, a professor at George Mason University who runs the United States Elections Project to track election data.

Romney is winning, McDonald said, “but the fact that he’s not really lighting a fire for these voters should be a warning sign for the campaign.”

In South Carolina, where Gingrich trounced Romney, turnout was up considerably, from 445,000 four years ago to 606,000.

“Certainly the heat and energy in South Carolina was for Newt Gingrich,” said Katon Dawson, a former state Republican chairman who backs Gingrich.

“It takes heat and emotion to win a national contest.”

Whether Romney can generate the same kind of passion, Dawson said, “depends on how he campaigns from now on.”

Turnout was up slightly in the first two states to vote: New Hampshire, where Romney had an easy win, and Iowa, where former Sen. Rick Santorum edged out Romney by the slimmest of margins.

Democrats were quick to point out that independent voters helped set those turnout records, and President Barack Obama’s campaign will be competing for those voters in the fall.

The Romney campaign says it sees hopeful signs in the turnout numbers.

on those charges and 20 newly-filed charges of rape, a first-degree felony that typically carries a mandatory prison sentence of between three to 10 years in prison.

If convicted as charged, Pratt he could be sentenced to a maximum of 225 years in prison.

Pratt was taken into custody and arrested by the Miami County Sheriff’s Office on Dec. 22 after federal authorities and a subsequent investigation revealed the rape and child pornography allega-

tions.

A search warrant executed at Pratt’s home by authorities revealed a computer that evidence was recovered from, said sheriff ’s office Chief Deputy Dave Duchak. According to Duchak, sexually explicit photographs recovered from the system’s hard drive appeared to have been taken off of the Internet, while others appeared to be photos Pratt took himself. According to the sheriff’s office, Pratt may have been involved in organizations involving children and have asked that if anyone has additional information to contact the authorities.

Fit • CONTINUED FROM A1 “I love it,” Hoover said.

But it’s not all about the fun and excitement of the classes that Hoover loves. It’s also about setting an example for a healthy lifestyle, she said.

“It’s about setting the right example for our children. Letting them see that good health, like anything else, takes effort,” Hoover said. Before opening Fit 2 B Me this January with a ribbon cutting on Jan. 26, Hoover taught a Zumba class for four years at Ginghamsburg Church’s The Avenue.

She was excited to upgrade from a shared space with no equipment and an unreliable schedule to her own studio in Tipp City.

“The time was right and the circumstances were right,” Hoover said. “I love having my own place. This is a fabulous opportunity to do what I am most passionate about — changing lives through fitness.”

She’s also thankful for all the help and

support her husband, Nick Hoover, owner of Coldwater Café, offered, she said.

At Fit 2 B Me there is no membership fee, which makes it easy for curious fitness neophytes to get a taste of different classes before they decide which style of exercise is a good fit for them. Each class is $5-8 to drop in, or clients can purchase a 10-class punch card at a discount and fill it up at their leisure.

“Come on in,” Hoover said. “You’ll enjoy yourself!”

Hoover expects to offer even more classes in the future, utilizing all the skills her six instructors possess. For now, area residents can drop into the studio and try interval training during a boot camp class, build muscle and burn calories with BodyPump, shimmy away calories during Zumba or perfect your Downward Dog in a Yoga class.

Pick from a variety of classes on their website at www.fit2b.me, or give Hoover a call at 667-9000.

PD seeking information on smash and grab in Piqua

BY WILL E SANDERS Ohio Community Media wsanders@dailycall.com An early Wednesday morning smash and grab heist at a city gas station is being investigated by the Piqua Police Department and they are asking residents who were in the vicinity at the time to contact them, said Deputy Chief Marty Grove.

At approximately 2:15 a.m. Wednesday, an adult male subject clad in a black hooded sweatshirt smashed a glass door at the Marathon gas station, 8855 N. County Road 25-A, and stole an undisclosed amount of cigarettes before fleeing the scene in a vehicle two to three minutes later, Grove added.

At this time, a specific description of the suspect, his vehicle and whether or not other individuals were in that car are all being investigated as detectives continue to

PIQUA review security camera footage of the crime.

“When officers arrived they found one of the front entry doors had been shattered and cigarettes were taken,” Grove said.

Areas in nearby jurisdictions have been having problems related to breaking and entering regarding cigarettes, Grove said, as they have went up in price recently.

“Right now it just appears that only cigarettes were stolen,” he added.

At this point, authorities believe it is an “isolated case.”

Anyone with information or who was in the vicinity of the crime is urged to contact the Piqua Police Department at 778-2027 or through the department’s tipsline at 615TIPS.

global petroleum market.

Worse, if the U.S. chooses to solve its confrontation with Iran by force, the region will be plunged even deeper into crisis.

Against such a gloomy outlook, the pledge by China and the three Arab countries to step up cooperation has sent a positive signal to the rest of the world, as China’s commitment to expanding cooperation with the three nations in an allround way will contribute to regional peace and development.

China’s traditional friendship with Arab countries and the entire Muslim world has been greatly strengthened in recent years, especially after the establish-

ment of the Sino-Arab Cooperation Forum in 2004.

The two sides have created more than a dozen mechanisms under the new platform to advance bilateral interaction in such areas as energy, trade, finance, agriculture, environmental protection, infrastructure and tourism.

Given that the Arab world has undergone sweeping changes over the past year, Wen’s call for an end to violence against civilians and support to the people in the countries concerned underscores China’s consistent perspective on such matters, and epitomizes the country’s commitment to peace and stability in the Gulf region and beyond.

ANALYSIS

Gingrich needs a win before Super Tuesday By the Associated Press Newt Gingrich leads the competition for comebacks with two in the race for the Republican presidential nomination. He’ll need one more, and soon, if he’s going to make good on his vow to remain a credible contender until the party convention next summer.

With a lopsided loss to Mitt Romney in the Florida primary on Tuesday night, the former House speaker is looking at a potentially bleak and even winless February as the prelude to Super Tuesday on March 6.

He confronts a significant disadvantage in campaign funding and the appearance of a gender gap in the polls in Florida, where he trailed the winner by nearly 20 points among women. Romney has grown more polished and confident in debates, while Gingrich faces a struggle to regain the discipline that helped carry him to an upset victory in the South Carolina primary on Jan. 21.

The former House speaker acknowledged little or none of this in a speech to a smallish crowd in Orlando, Fla., following his drubbing.

“I think Florida did something very important, coming on top of South Carolina. It is now clear that this will be a two-person race between the conservative leader, Newt Gingrich, and the Massachusetts moderate,” he said.

Actually, Florida Republicans gave Romney about 46 percent of the vote. It was the largest percentage captured by any contender so far in the four states that have voted in the GOP race. Ominously for Gingrich, it was also close to a majority, a threshold that would debunk his oft-repeated observation that the former Massachusetts governor loses more votes than he wins.

Despite the obstacles, Gingrich has shown ample evidence of the political skill that once made him speaker of the House, an achievement no one in his party had managed for 40 years.

Twice, his campaign has appeared to run aground: last summer, and again in the two weeks before the Iowa caucuses.

The first time, he lost the services of virtually all of his senior staff in a mass resignation.

For them, the last straw was when Gingrich and his wife, Callista, embarked on a vacation cruise to the Greek Isles at a time the campaign was desperately short of money.

With characteristic bravado, he announced he had decided not to run a consultant-centric campaign. “I am very different than normal politicians, and normal consultants found that very hard to deal with,” said the man who made sure he had a phalanx of them when he was speaker, protecting the GOP majority in the House.

Tom Perdue, a Republican strategist from Gingrich’s old home state of Georgia, had a different view. “It’s not uncommon for a candidate to become delusional and that’s what I think you are seeing here.”

Or not.

Gingrich fashioned his first comeback over months as others rose in the polls to challenge Romney, then fell back. He shone in debates, occasionally stepping in like something of a GOP father figure, scolding his squabbling rivals and reminding them that the objective was to defeat Barack Obama.

By late December, he had reemerged as the biggest threat to Romney in the Iowa caucuses.

Then the attack ads began, financed by Restore Our Future, an outside organization set up to aid the former Massachusetts governor.

Lacking the funds to respond on his own the reason his campaign nearly collapsed in the first place and without an outside group to aid him, Gingrich announced he would run a “relentlessly positive” campaign.

DOONESBURY

I got ‘rocked’ on my way home Troy Troy The transition from city life to my days out here in the “Great Beyond” hasn’t been as smooth as my gravel driveway.

That is, until earlier this week, when I got more gravel for my country lane.

Yes, there’s a difference between a “lane” and a “driveway,” but you, my dear readers, are smart enough to figure that out for yourselves.

You wouldn’t think something as simple as crushed up rock would be something to be excited about out here.

Oh, you are so, so wrong.

And right now, I know all my country readers out there are thinking about each and every gravel lane they’ve traversed — the good, the bad, the bumpy. It’s just something we notice out here in the “Great Beyond.”

This week, my dad (who just celebrated his birthday yesterday: Happy Birthday Dad) ordered gravel for the lane and around the barns. It was a celebrated event for yours truly.

There’s nothing better than a smooth cruise to the house in my little blue car.

Melanie Yingst Troy Daily News Columnist It just was starting to get painful when the “swimming holes” started to form and it got a little bumpy to get back here.

For you city folks, you’ve got it paved, I mean made.

Out here in the country, cement is scarce as hen’s teeth.

Cement (pronounced either SEE-MENT or SAH-MENT; believe me folks, the pronunciation of this word is believed to be the start of the Hatfield and the McCoy family feud) is at a premium.

Going to town was a treat in which we could ride for miles on beautiful, flat surfaces. Town kids had it good.

You see, out here in the “Great Beyond” only a select few with

small driveways can afford the luxury of good asphalt, let alone, miles of it.

Growing up, we used to love to play at my cousin’s house. I always thought she was living the good life, not because of her clothes or toys, but because she had a black-top driveway. Oh, the luxury!

While Dad’s shop had just enough cement to keep us occupied at the family farm for us to ride our bikes, the rest of our driveway was large clunky rocks, not the smooth fine grade stone that appeared at my lane this week.

Poor Evan won’t even know what a hard childhood is like because he won’t have to battle the chunks of rock like we had to.

I’ve also noticed that this new addition to the lane has created a little bit of what I’ll coin as “Gravel Envy.”

My mother happened to cruise down my newly graveled lane the other day to pick up Evan before I headed to work a night shift here at the TDN. My mother is not only the smartest person I know, but she’s sharp and doesn’t miss a

thing. She’d make a great reporter — attention to details and all.

So, of course, my mother quickly took note of the latest acquisition to the lane.

No longer did she have to swerve to the left to avoid the craters I had dug out with my wheels and no longer did she have to put her SUV in four-wheel drive to climb out of them.

As she walked in the door, she exhibited all the signs of “Gravel Envy.”

“How is it that Dad gets you all the good gravel?” Mom said, throwing up her arms in defeat — it probably didn’t help that this was just months after the first dose of gravel hit the lane either.

“I don’t know! But isn’t it just like driving on a cloud?” I said, as I looked out the window at the beautiful smooth, straight ribbon of glorious crushed rock careening towards the road.

Well, judging by “The Look” my mother gave me, that comment sure didn’t go over like new graveled lane.

“Twin” Melanie Yingst appears on Friday in the Troy Daily News.

Keep on rockin’ Miami County!

Obama: policies are extension of my faith WASHINGTON (AP) — Blending politics and religion, President Barack Obama said his Christian faith is a driving force behind his economic policies, from Wall Street reform to his calls for the wealthy to pay higher taxes.

Obama’s remarks Thursday at the National Prayer Breakfast were his most explicit account of how his personal religious beliefs factor into his decision-making on the nation’s pressing problems. The comments came amid election-year criticism from Catholic groups and some Republicans that the president is waging a war on religion following his decision to require church-affiliated institutions to cover free birth control for employees.

Speaking to more than 3,000 people at the annual breakfast, Obama said “faith and values” should play as much as role in tackling the nation’s challenges as sound decision-making and smart policies.

He said, for example, that his own call for fairness in the tax code — a central tenet of his State of the Union address and his 2012 campaign — is both economically sound and consistent with the teachings of Jesus.

“If I’m willing to give something up as somebody who’s been extraordinarily blessed, and give up some of the tax breaks that I enjoy, I

Peaston was born into a St. Louis family with deep musical roots. His mother, gospel singer Martha Bass, was one of the Clara Ward Singers. His older sister, Fontella Bass, is a noted singer whose single “Rescue Me” reached No. 1 on R&B charts and No. 4 on pop single charts in 1965.

No. 45 on the dance charts in 1990. His first album, “Introducing …

David Peaston,” reached No. 7 on the Billboard R&B album chart in 1989. At the height of his career, he toured with Gladys Knight.

Peaston earned a degree in elementary education and taught in his hometown of St. Louis before moving to New York to pursue a career as a singer.

He also said the Wall Street reform he championed both “makes the economy stronger for everyone” and abides by God’s command to “love thy neighbor as thyself” because it helped people who had been hurt or treated unfairly by financial

institutions.

And Obama said he believed in a “biblical call” to care for the poor and to follow “the responsibility we’re given in Proverbs to ‘Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute.’”

The president’s remarks came one day after Mitt Romney, the front-runner for the Republican nomination, created a flap with clumsy comments about the poor.

Romney said wasn’t concerned about the “very poor” because they have a safety net.

He also said he wasn’t concerned about the very rich and intended to focus

CAIRO (AP) — Anger over a deadly soccer riot erupted in fresh clashes that injured nearly 400 people Thursday as security forces fired tear gas at fans and other protesters who accused police of failing to stop the bloodshed.

The violence — which comes as security has been steadily deteriorating — threatened to plunge the country into a new crisis nearly a year after a popular uprising forced former leader Hosni Mubarak to step down.

A network of rabid soccer fans known as Ultras vowed vengeance, accusing the police of intentionally letting rivals attack them after Wednesday’s Egyptian league match in the seaside city of Port Said because they have been at the forefront of protests over the past year, first against Mubarak and now the military that assumed power after his Feb. 11 ouster.

Security officials said 74 people were killed, in the world’s worst soccer violence in 15 years.

The riot in Port Said began when local Al-Masry fans stormed the field following a rare 3-1 win against Cairo-based Al-Ahly, one of Egypt’s most popular clubs, and began attacking their rivals, forcing hundreds in to a narrow stadium exit, only to be crushed against a locked gate.

The fighting was rooted in a long-standing, deep rivalry between the two teams, but it rapidly took on a political tone as lawmakers and the public widely denounced the police for standing by as the violence escalated. Some Al-Ahly fans said they had hung banners making fun of AlMasry supporters in Port Said before the game, apparently provoking the local fans to riot despite their victory.

Tensions spread to Cairo as many of the dead were brought home for burial and the wounded joined the protests, some in tears, clearly in distraught for the loss of friends.

The police force, which has been at the heart of the Egyptian grievances leading to the uprising, has remained a source of tension after Mubarak’s ouster. The police have been accused of continuing to use heavyhanded tactics and resisting reform. But they also found

Get out and play in the outdoors Adventure Summit at Wright State gives outdoor enthusiasts a little relief to cabin fever f the unusually warm temperatures are giving some outdoor enthusiasts in the region the itch to get back outside and play, an event next weekend may just help them scratch that itch.

I

The Adventure Summit at Wright State University has a little bit of everything for those who would rather be outside, in the water, on a mountain or on a bike than be cooped up inside, all offered for free.

“It is one of the largest expositions of outdoor adventure in the Midwest. There really is something for everyone,” said Tom Helbig, Five Rivers Metroparks Outdoor Recreation Department special events coordinator.

“We have folks that we call armchair enthusiasts who are just interested in hearing about other people’s adventures, sitting back and listening to an Appalachian trail journey or cool kayaking trip. There also is something for people that are experienced in the outdoors and want to hear some tips on a trip they are thinking about taking and want to take one of the clinics in the pool or climbing wall.”

In its sixth year, the event started out as a way for Five Rivers MetroPark and Wright State University to combine efforts to present the outdoor programs that were starting at each location.

“It was a great way to showcase the new programs and the outdoor recreation amenities that exist in our region,” Helbig said. “Each year it has continued to grow and the enthusiasm for outdoor adventure continues to grow in the region.”

As the interest in the outdoors continued to grow, so did the event. To the point where it is now biennial.

“Starting in 2010, we went to an every-other-year scenario,” Helbig said. “The event has grown to a point where we needed to spread out the load of producing the event. Now we offer a speaker series, which is basically the adventure summit stretched over eight weeks or so, and we bring in the same caliber of speakers throughout the winter.”

As for The Adventure Summit that will take place Feb. 10-11, there will be speakers, fitness classes, educational sessions, climbing wall sessions and bouldering competitions, as well as an indoor duathlon.

The featured speaker for Friday night will be presented

by TREK at 8 p.m. and will be Gary Fisher.

“He will be coming in to talk about his life story and how it relates to mountain biking and riding in general,” Helbig said.

“He is a very fun individual so he will entertain the crowd with his life on the bike. He has mainstream appeal to him and is the founding father of mountain biking.”

Helbig said the committee for the summit has been eyeing Fisher for a few years.

“We made a target list of speakers five or six years ago when we started the event and he was on the list and TREK was able to help bring him to town,” Helbig said.

“There is a lot of energy for mountain biking in our region right now with the new mountain bike trail that opened in September 2007 and the trail at John Bryan Park, and there is also a new one in Springfield.

There is a lot of energy and he is a great fit to keep that momentum going.”

On Saturday, the featured speakers will be Gregg Treinish and Deia Schlosberg, who will talk about backpacking the Andes Mountains.

“It was over 7,800 miles and

Throughout the weekend, Helbig said in addition to the presentations there will be around 70 exhibitors from the outdoor industry, including local, regional and national clubs to talk about “the great outdoors.”

After talking with the exhibitors, outdoor enthusiasts can try their hand at kayaking, SCUBA, stand-up paddle boarding and kayak fishing.

“We also have a fitness studio that will have yoga classes and bootcamp sessions and spinning sessions,” Helbig said. “So people can get really active at the event if they would like as well and we have showers so they can shower and still enjoy the rest of the day.”

He said there are several competitions throughout the day, including a kayak challenge and canoe battleship. Some of the competitions have small fees for participating.

At the end of the day whether patrons decide to get active and participate in the classes and

AP MOVIE REVIEWS BIG MIRACLE: If a movie is cheesy and knows it’s cheesy — if it embraces the soft, gooey texture and pungent aroma of its own fromage — does that make it any more palatable as a meal? That is the question to ponder while watching this rousing, feel-good, family-friendly animal adventure which has the added benefit of being based on a true story.

It’s a weird hodgepodge, mixing the large cast and the melodrama of a 1970s disaster movie with the small-town quirkiness of “Northern Exposure,” with just a touch of the big-haired ambition of “Broadcast News.” At its center are three gray whales — a mother, father and baby who found themselves trapped within the quickly forming Arctic ice near Barrow, Alaska, the northernmost point in the United States, in 1988. The effort to free them in the open water brought together a disparate alliance of environmental activists, oil executives, journalists, native people and even the Soviets toward the end of the Cold War, and it fascinated viewers worldwide. John Krasinski plays Adam, the boyishly enthusiastic local TV reporter who breaks the story. He gets some help from an adorable little native boy (Ahmaogak Sweeney) who looks up to him as a big brother as well as from his idealistic exgirlfriend, Greenpeace leader Rachel (Drew Barrymore). But soon everyone’s invading this small, remote town for a piece of the action, which sets up all the fish-out-of-water scenarios you’d expect. Ted Danson and Kristen Bell are among the ensemble cast. PG for language. 107 minutes. Two and a half stars out of four. — Christy Lemire, AP Movie Critic CHRONICLE: It owes a great debt to the found-footage conceit of “The Blair Witch Project,” has some of the aesthetic and tonal touches of “Cloverfield” and probes the same sorts of philosophical notions about the burden of power that serve as the basis for the “X-Men” series. And yet, “Chronicle” still has enough energy and ingenuity to serve as thrilling entertainment all its own. First-time feature director Josh Trank and writer Max Landis (as in son-of-John) have come up with a clever way to tell a hand-held, point-of-view story without relying on the same old grainy, headache-inducing shaky-cam techniques: The camera can levitate. Because the three teenagers who take turns operating it have acquired the power of telekinesis. These are three recognizable high school types: nerdy loner Andrew (Dane DeHaan), popular athlete Steve (Michael B. Jordan) and Matt (Alex Russell), Andrew’s cousin who falls some-

“One of the main things, we hope they get an appreciation for the opportunities that do exist in the Dayton area,” he said.

“It may not be the first thing that comes to mind, but we have one of the largest bike trails in the area, great rivers to paddle

and fish and skip rocks and several mountain bike trails.

There are amazing resources in our area and we want to bring that to light.”

The Adventure Summit will take place Feb. 10-11 at the Wright State University Student Union, 3640 Colonel Glenn Highway, Dayton.

Hayner set for film night where in the middle of the social hierarchy.

One night in the woods outside a party, they discover a hole in the ground and decide to explore it. Since Andrew chronicles everything with his video camera, he documents what they find: some sort of glowing cosmic thing which fascinates them, and also gives them the ability to move and manipulate things with their minds. Rather than embark on some important superhero adventure, they do what regular kids would do. They mess with people at Wal-Mart. The third act goes a little haywire, though, especially as the camera device collapses in favor of various points of view.

PG-13 for intense action and violence, thematic material, some language, sexual content and teen drinking. 84 minutes. Three stars out of four. — Christy Lemire, AP Movie Critic THE WOMAN IN BLACK: Though it nearly suffocates under the mounting weight of its gothic kitsch — an abandoned house, child ghosts, spooky dolls, oh my! — James Watkins’ thriller nevertheless summons ornately-crafted, old-fashioned suspense. In his first post-Potter film, Daniel Radcliffe stars as the struggling, widowed London lawyer Arthur Kipps. Still grieving the loss of his wife in childbirth, Kipps — leaving his 4-year-old son behind — is dispatched to a remote British village to put in order the estate of the recently deceased Alice Drablow. The town is thick with suspicion and foreboding. So well do the townspeople know the tragedy of lost children (their deaths always accompanied by a dark, mysterious character), that whimpering comes even from their parrots. Kipps is to sort a classically menacing Victorian mansion where apparitions and frightful reflections mount as he digs into the past. His lone village friend is Samuel Daily, played by the always excellent Ciaran Hinds. (Janet McTeer plays his loopy wife.) Adapted from Susan Hill’s novel, it’s the second release from the reconstituted Hammer Film Productions, which churned out lush gothics in the ’60s and ’70s. Watkins’ film, nifty and taught, is a worthy enough heir to that tradition, even if its basic clichés threaten to overwhelm it. As a wand-less detective, Radcliff comports himself well, playing Kipps with downcast desperation, conflicted between striving for the future of his son or grimly wallowing in the memory of his wife. PG-13 for thematic material and violence, disturbing images. 95 minutes. Two and a half stars out of four.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Offer help, but do it with utmost sincerity Dear Annie: I am one of nine children. There is a large age gap between us because my younger siblings are from a second marriage. They are 3, 5 and 7.

Since moving out a few years ago, I have begun to see my mother in a different light. As a child, whenever I needed something, I was always told to ask my father because she "didn't have the money." I accepted this.

However, I now see how often Mom tells her children she doesn't have money for them, but somehow finds it for herself. She is a very selfish person.

Several times in the past few years, she has called to say how upset she is that she has no money to get my younger siblings Halloween costumes or school supplies or to send them on field trips. I always step up and offer financial assistance.

But I am beginning to notice that soon after helping her out, Mom somehow finds the money to go out to a nice dinner, take a trip or buy a new gadget for herself.

I feel used and misled, but when I've said so, Mom replies that I'm inconsiderate and only care about money. A few times, she has threatened to not let me see my siblings if I keep being so "rude and uncaring." What should I do? I love my siblings and don't want to lose contact. — Sibling Support Dear Sibling: Tell your mother you would be happy to get the kids Halloween costumes and school supplies — and then go get them. Don't give the money to Mom if you think she is misusing it. Instead, put it directly where the assistance is needed. But do it with the utmost concern and sincerity.

Dear Annie: I am a woman who doesn't care much for babies. What do I say to those who expect me to hold their infant? Some people actually thrust their little bundle into my arms without even asking.

I have never had any desire to have children, and I don't see what the appeal is. Babies are messy, leaky, smelly and noisy, as well as demanding and expensive. I understand that not all women feel as I do, so when I'm around mothers, I say nice things about their kids and have positive comments when shown pictures.

However, these same parents are shocked to learn that I am not as thrilled with their little darlings as they are. Is there a nice way to say, "I think your baby is sweet, but I feel more comfortable when the little tyke is on someone else's lap"? — Not a Mommy Dear Not: No matter how nice you are, some people will be offended that you don't admire their child as much as they do. If they ask you to hold the baby, reply with alarm, "Oh, no, I couldn't possibly. I'm afraid I would drop it." If they push the baby toward you, put your hands up and back away. You are under no obligation to participate in this ritual, and if others can't understand your attitude, so be it.

Dear Annie: "Hurt and Confused in Wisconsin" said her husband's stepmother is emotionally abusive. She had trouble reconciling this with the biblical command to honor thy mother and father.

I am a minister who has counseled many in this position.

"Honor thy mother" means do not speak to or about a parent in a disrespectful manner and do not treat them hurtfully. Do not refuse help for an honest need.

Do not exploit or abuse them.

However, some people are nasty and cannot be reasoned, pushed or coerced into changing.

Catering to their behavior only makes it worse. It is possible to honor thy mother from a distance, so I recommend they have as little contact as possible. I will keep them in my prayers. — Mishawaka, Ind. Annie's Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

SUDOKU PUZZLE

HOW TO PLAY: Complete the grid so that every row, column and 3x3 box contains every digit from 1 to 9 inclusively. Find answers to today’s puzzle in tomorrow’s Troy Daily News.

YESTERDAY’S SOLUTION:

HINTS FROM HELOISE

Here’s a kiss of peace and quiet Dear Heloise: Here is a fond memory of your mother. I had the very good fortune to live in Hawaii as a child. My father was stationed at Hickam Air Force Base from 1956 to 1960, and we were faithful members of the nearby base chapel. The original Heloise was living in Honolulu at the same time.

I am very sure that she was the teacher for a rather rowdy group of 9-year-old boys during the Summer Daily Vacation Bible School, including me.

She was a very good teacher, and she put us through the paces of “Bible verse drills.” The quickest to find the verse would win.

Hints from Heloise Columnist What we would win, I can’t really remember.

When things got too loud and out of hand, I remember vividly her solution, delivered in a steady, dramatic Texas twang: “If you boys don’t hush up, I’m going to ... KISS YOU!!!”

Immediate silence all around,

and back to work we went. — John Hardy, Baton Rouge, La. John, yes, that was my mother, all right, and I can still hear her Texas twang! Thanks for making me smile. — Heloise LUNCH TO GO Dear Heloise: We stayed at a motel this summer that provided a complimentary breakfast, but also a “breakfast on the go” lunch sack, and in it was a bottle of water, an apple, chocolate and a health-food bar. Was it ever handy and delicious as we traveled. So, when we had company, I made “breakfast on the go” bags for the two of them. They planned to shop all day, so I labeled it the

“shopping survival kit,” and they said it was wonderful. Thought you would like to pass it on! — Corrinne B., Universal City, Texas Glad to, and it’s a lovely gesture. Hey, what motel put chocolate in the breakfast bag? I want to stay there! — Heloise HOLD IT RIGHT THERE Dear Heloise: I don’t know why this works, but it does! If you use salt and pepper mills, hold the top firmly and turn the grinder itself. I also found that this works great when using a large, wooden pepper mill — it seems easier to grind! — Barbara in Hummelstown, Pa.

ARLO AND JANIS

HOROSCOPE Friday, Feb. 3, 2012 There is a good possibility that two of your innermost hopes and desires will be realized in the approaching solar cycle. You can thank Lady Luck for her strong influence in helping bring them to fruition.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — A hunger for instant gratification could cause you to spend far more than you should by purchasing something that you know will be on sale next week.

Be more disciplined.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — Courtesy and politeness are always extremely important when dealing with others. If you forgo these graces and act grumpy, it will diminish your popularity with the very people you most like.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) — If you wear your heart on your sleeve, someone whom you feel strongly about could seriously wound you. Don’t allow your emotions to get in the way of reality.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Get an understanding in advance that each person will pay his or her own way if you are going out with a friend who always seems to leave the table just before the bill arrives.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — Unless you treat critical career matters with the seriousness they deserve, you could relax your diligence, start coasting and lose much of the progress you already made. Stay on top of things.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) — Don’t let one of your greater assets — the ability to assess situations logically — to lie fallow. It might be fun to be a wishful thinker, but it’s far better to be a realistic one.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Should the possibility of a misunderstanding arise between you and a friend over something rather silly, straighten it out immediately. If you don’t, it could get blown way out of proportion.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Someone who has disappointed you in the past by letting you down has no problem doing it again. Don’t put too much stock in any of his or her promises.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Regardless of how badly a certain person wants to try, don’t allocate work of an artistic nature to a person whose talents don’t run in that vein. Find a way to spare his or her feelings.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Under most conditions you are not a clingy person, but there’s a good chance you might attempt to hang on to someone who wants to exit the scene. Refrain from doing so — it’ll make you look bad.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Although you might be pretty good at making promises, you could have a hard time fulfilling them. Avoid making any commitments.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Avoid using flattery to get others, such as your co-workers, to do things for you. If insincerity is perceived, it might actually get them to plot against you instead.

Private nurse vows to fight allegations Ohio Auditor’s Office alleges man improperly billed state COLUMBUS — A private duty nurse who operates out of Troy says he has retained an attorney and will fight the allegations leveled against him this week by the Ohio Auditor’s Office, which claims he improperly charged

Medicaid for unauthorized hours between 2006 and 2009.

Despite warnings from his Medicaid case manager, an audit of James T. Delver, 50, of Troy, found nearly $70,000 in private duty nurse payments to be improper, and with interest the amount owed to the state of Ohio exceeds $82,000, according to the

audit, which was released Thursday.

When reached for comment Thursday, Delver stated he didn’t think it would be wise to comment on the allegations, except to say he has retained an attorney and will be fighting them.

“When you are told not to do something, and you do it anyway, you are abusing

a privilege,” stated Ohio Auditor Dave Yost in a press release. “Providers are responsible for knowing which patients are subject to Medicaid rules for doctor approval and proper standard of care.”

Criminal charges have not been filed against Delver, who operates at 1208 Charleston Court, Troy, related to the improp-

er regulatory charges.

According to the auditor’s office press release, the total amount equals $82,422.94, but interest on that amount will continue to accrue at the rate of $15.02 each day upon release of the audit.

The period of time the audit covered was from July 1, 2006, to June 30, 2009, and the findings

revealed that Delver “was reimbursed a total of just over $233,000 for 961 services.”

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

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

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

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

Vikings don’t waste time in victory Score 35 in 1st quarter in 30-point win, host rival Versailles Saturday Staff Reports

MIAMI COUNTY

CASSTOWN — With the Cross County Conference all but wrapped up and a big showdown with tournament implications looming in two days, the Miami East Vikings took care of business early and got some rest.

The Vikings (17-1, 11-0) jumped out to a 35-9 lead after the first quarter and a 49-15 lead at the half, cruising to a 78-48 victory over Twin Valley South Thursday in Casstown.

“Knowing that we’d just played on Monday and have a big game coming up on Saturday against Versailles, we were able to get some kids a break in the second half,” Miami East coach Preston Elifritz said.

Ashley Current led the Vikings with 20 points and eight rebounds, Emily Kindell and Trina Current each scored 12 and Abby Cash did a bit of everything with seven points, seven

assists and five rebounds. Angie Mack — whose 3 forced overtime in Monday’s win over Tippecanoe — also scored seven.

Gentry Gates led all scorers with 23 points for Twin Valley South.

Miami East hosts Versailles Saturday before finishing the regular season against 3-15 Arcanum on Thursday.

Tressel’s new gig Administrative work at Akron for OSU’s ex-coach AKRON — The black mark on Jim Tressel’s resume has shortcircuited his coaching career.

The former Ohio State coach is ready to embark on a different path, though.

Tressel, 59, was hired by the University of Akron as its vice president of strategic engageon ment T h u r s d a y.

He’ll earn a base salary of $200,000.

Tressel was a football coach for 35 years, most notably at Ohio State from 2001-10. TRESSEL He took the Buckeyes to three appearances in the BCS Championship Game and the 2002 national championship.

However, he resigned on May 30 amid a tattoo-formemorabilia scandal.

NCAA rules prevent Tressel from having any day-to-day involvement with Akron’s football team. The NCAA came down hard on Tressel when it claimed he covered up or lied about his involvement in the case.

Ryan Palmer was back in his comfort zone with his trusted old putter model in the first round of the Phoenix Open.

“I pulled it out of the garage and was putting in my living room, then went outside in the backyard on my putting green, and I knew it was time to bring it back out,” the three-time tour winner said.

Staff Reports The Tippecanoe Red Devils struggled at Northwestern in Central Buckeye Conference play Thursday, with the boys losing by a narrow 2,696-2,625 margin and the girls falling 2,507-2,254.

“Rough schedule for the girls, going against the first-place teams in each division back-toback nights,” Tippecanoe coach Clay Lavercombe said. “And Northwestern rolled a 248 baker game, and that was the difference (for the boys).”

Troy is used to taking down all of its pins at once.

For now, though, the Trojans have to settle for one goal at a time.

Troy’s girls wrapped up the Greater Western Ohio Conference North Division title outright Thursday afternoon at Troy bowl, while the boys clinched at least a share of the

Lehman 60, Troy Christian 29 — Four TROY Cavaliers reached double digits Thursday night as Lehman used big second and third quarters to put away Troy Christian 6029.

“We just couldn’t handle the pressure, I guess,” Troy Christian coach Jim Bolin said. “They created quite a few turnovers, and we

weren’t scoring on top of that. It got away from us quick.”

Lindsey Spearman scored 17 points and Kandis Sargeant added 16 to lead Lehman (9-9).

Paxton Hatcher and Ava Schmitz added 10 apiece as the Cavs, who led by only two at 8-6 after the first quarter, outscored Troy Christian 16-4 in the second and 21-7 in the third to seal the win.

Troy rips Elder

■ CONTINUED FROM 17 before then. The Trojans (22-2, 19-2 GWOC) hold a one-game lead over Butler — which they face Tuesday on the road.

“We’ve had a great season so far, but we’re taking everything one match at a time,” Troy boys coach Cevin Wagner said. “Our first goal is to win the GWOC North — and we control our own destiny there. We’d then like to win the GWOC tournament, then it’s on to sectionals, districts and hopefully state again.”

Four Trojans — including all three seniors, Jared Sierra, Kyle Neves and Brad Johnson — were above the 400-series mark on the day, and the two Trojans that split time combined to top 400, as well. A.J. Bigelow led the way with games of 246-228 for a 474 series, Neves rolled 244-214—458, Sierra rolled 243-202—445 and Johnson rolled 226Cameron 193—419.

Hughes added a 236 game and Andrew Spencer added a 180.

“Winning this one is big,” Wagner said. “It’s a key match for our seniors.

It was important to get the win, and it was also important for everyone to bowl well — and they did.”

And for the Trojans’ efforts last year, winning Troy High School’s first team state championship, their coach is still garnering honors.

Wagner was recently named Boys Bowling Coach of the Year for the state of Ohio by the National Federation of High School Coaches Association.

“I was shocked,” Wagner said. “I knew we had a coach of the year in our conference, but I didn’t realize it went that far up.

Actually, when I got the e-

“It was a really big honor.”

Only two of Troy’s girls (21-3, 19-2 GWOC) bowled full series, as the Trojans had six seniors to get playing time. But all of that veteran leadership payed off in the end.

“We got everyone in today,” Dever said. “We’ve got six seniors, and I can only start five. (Piqua’s) girls bowled really well today. It’s stressful sometimes, but we ended up winning.

“A lot of it was experience. We’ve been there before. The girls believe in themselves, focus on what they need to do and go out and do it.”

And the seniors led the way scoring. Elizabeth Reed led the way with an almost 100-pin jump from the first game to the second, rolling 145-243 for a 388 series, and Samantha Wilkerson rolled games of 204-174 for a 378 series.

No matter what goalie did Elder’s Thursday, there was no stopping the Troy Trojans.

Troy (19-7-2) outshot Elder 51-6, eventually finding the cracks in the wall and sneaking the puck past to wrap up a 51 victory in a makeup game Thursday in Cincinnati.

“Their goalie actually played an exceptional game tonight,” Troy coach Larrell Walters said. “He did a great job of controlling whatever rebounds he gave up. In the end, I think we just kind of wore him down.”

Clay Terrill finished with a hat trick, scoring twice in the second period to put Troy up 2-0.

Derrick Bark and Will Schober assisted on the first goal, one of Troy’s two power play goals on the night, and Schober and Drew Morgan assisted on the second.

Brandon Beaty then scored to kick off the third on assists from Bark and Andrew Stang, and Stang scored with assists from Bark and Nick Usserman.

Terrill finished off the scoring for Troy with an assist from Sean Clawson.

Elder finally put one in late in the game, but it wasn’t nearly enough.

Eric Wright had five saves in net for the Trojans, who host Alter Saturday in their final regular-season home game of the year.

He was forced to retire from coaching “that oblong thing.” Being a life-long educator, he has reinvented himself at Akron.

“The first thing I’m going to do is listening and learn and become a part of the team,” Tressel said. “I’m not offensive coordinator or defensive coordinator. I’m just on the team.

Once Tressel’s feet hit the ground on May 1, he said he’d start gathering information, building relationships, getting to know people and figuring out where he’ll fit in. He said he’s excited about the opportunity to help mold the lives of many young adults.

“I feel that’s so much larger than playing the game of football,” Tressel said. “Our greatest victories weren’t in bowl games or national championships. They were in the lives of young people.

This Akron experience is something I look forward to sinking my teeth into.”

NHL looking into scoreboard error

Palmer leads at Phoenix

TORONTO (AP) — The NHL is investigating a scoreboard error that could have an “enormous impact” on playoff races in the Western Conference.

During Wednesday night’s game at Staples Center in Los Angeles, the clock briefly stopped in the closing seconds giving Drew Doughty enough time to score the winning goal in a 3-2 victory over the Columbus Blue Jackets.

The puck officially crossed the line with less than a second to play in regulation. However, when the Blue Jackets looked at video after the game, they discovered the clock froze for roughly a second just prior to Doughty’s goal meaning time should have expired.

The NHL’s video room looked at the play immediately after the goal was scored, but didn’t notice that the scoreboard stopped while the Kings were buzzing around the net.

“We didn’t even look to go back and say ‘OK, did something happen (with the clock)?’”

Colin Campbell, the NHL’s senior executive vice president

of hockey operations, said Thursday.

“When it crosses the line (and) you review it, you back the puck out and you see what the clock was.

And the clock was 0.4 (seconds).

“And then after the game, minutes after the game, we see (it and say) ‘Holy cow.’”

Campbell confirmed that the goal shouldn’t have counted and said the league would conduct an investigation to determine what caused the error.

“You ask some tough questions,” he said. “You’ve got to ask every question.”

The result of the game is expected to stand.

The Blue Jackets were upset by an incident that cost them at least one point in the standings.

Even though the team has the NHL’s worst record, general manager Scott Howson wrote in a blog post that the unjust result “matters to our players, to our coaches, every person in our organization and our fans.”

There’s also the question of what it might mean for teams battling the Kings for a playoff position in the Western Conference.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.

(AP) — Ryan Palmer was back in his comfort zone with his trusted old putter model in the first round of the Phoenix Open.

“I pulled it out of the garage and was putting in my living room, then went outside in the backyard on my putting green, and I knew it was time to bring it back out,” the three-time tour winner said.

Holing seven birdie putts from 10-15 feet, Palmer finished off a 7under 64 at dusk to take the lead Thursday in the suspended first round.

Palmer switched back to the Odyssey putter after missing the cuts in his previous starts this year in the Sony (NYSE:SNE) Open and Humana Challenge.

“I used the exact same putter the last two years, and of course had two of the best years of my career,” he said. “But toward the end of the year last year, around the BMW, I just got frustrated with not making anything, so I thought I’d try something different, put a similar style head in play and actually had some success.

“But my first two weeks out here I could tell I wasn’t comfortable when I’d

Webb Simpson was a stroke back on the Stadium Course at TPC Scottsdale.

“It’s one of those courses that just fits your eye well,” said Simpson, the highest-ranked player in the field at No. 6.

was delayed an hour because of frost, and play was suspended because of darkness at 6:05 p.m. with 42 players unable to finish. Last year, frost and frozen greens delayed play nine hours during the week, forcing a Monday finish.

“I knew I was going to

be here in the morning for the second round, so I wasn’t worried about it if we had to come back and restart,” Palmer said. “So, I didn’t think about it and I just kept hitting shots and sticking to my game plan.”

Palmer had 27 putts and hit 16 of 18 greens in regulation. He birdied the par-5 15th after his drive landed in the middle of the fairway and rolled left into the water, and saved par on the short par-4 17th after also driving into the water.

“To make birdie there (15) after hitting it in the water, and then I get up on 17 and do the same thing, hit it in the water,” Palmer said. “I guess you could say I left a couple out there, but it was a great day for sure.”

He was 8 under after a birdie on No. 6, but had his lone bogey on No. 7, then finished the round with pars in Nos. 8 and 9.

Jarrod Lyle, Harrison Frazar, Derek Lamely, Kevin Na and Chez Reavie were two strokes behind at 66, and Bubba Watson, Jason Dufner and Spencer Levin also were 5 under.

Watson and Levin had three holes left. Dufner, a playoff loser last year, had five holes remaining.

Rehab helps heart attack survivors When Ray Lepore suffered a heart attack last fall, he asked the same question as many other victims — “Why did this happen to me?”

Lepore, in the midst of moving from a home in Troy to a new residence at Wayne Lakes near Greenville, was getting ready for work one morning when it struck.

“All of a sudden, it was like a pit bull just grabbed me in the chest,” he recalled.

The pain went away briefly, but returned and was unrelenting.

A call to Troy paramedics landed him first in the UVMC Emergency Department, then at Good Samaritan Hospital, where two stents were placed.

“I was in good health, good shape and recovered pretty quickly,” Lepore said.

“The first few weeks afterward were a very scary time.

It is still very scary when I let myself think about it.

Every sensation now that you have, you are wondering, ‘Is that related to my heart?’”

A short time after the attack he was back at UVMC, this time to participate in the CardioPulmonary Rehabilitation program at the recommendation of his doctor.

“I walked in here. Within five minutes I realized this is where I needed to be,” said Lepore, a sales engineer at Dickman Supply in Sidney.

“You are here with people who all are in the same boat and all are dedicated to taking care of ourselves. There is a great staff here that helps us every step of the way.”

He participates in the program three days a week, with his physical activity monitored by center staff.

“They watch my every heart beat. It is another comforting thing, if anything goes wrong here, they are watching,” he said.

“I call this my lifeboat because we all come at it from different perspectives, but you are scared, you feel kind of alone and kind of lost,” Lepore said. “They reach out a hand to us and say, ‘Come on, we know how you feel, what you are going through. Let us give you a hand. We will help right the ship, get you on the right track again.’”

The goal of the CardioPulmonary Rehabilitation program is to

For women, the signs are less obvious. They could include chronic fatigue, shortness of breath or an overall sense of not feeling well.

“Many will say, ‘It will go away. I have the flu or I just over did it,’” Maniaci McMillan said. “By waiting, more damage to the heart could occur. Once the heart is damaged, it doesn’t grow back or rejuvenate itself.”

The problem could be something else, but the person needs to have the concerns checked, she said.

“When people have signs or symptoms, they will say, ‘It can’t be me. It can’t be my heart,’” Maniaci McMillan said. “Just because you exercise or think you eat right, heart disease does not discriminate, whether you are male or female, whether you have high cholesterol. It can be anyone.”

Patients are supervised by a nurse, are on heart monitors and get frequent blood pressure checks. The rehab program lasts eight to 12 weeks and is followed by follow-up and maintenance programs.

The rehab program’s first patient in 1985 still works out at the rehab center.

One of its newest participants is Linda Cochran of Troy, who had a heart attack in mid-November.

A second grade teacher at Newton school, she was working out on her home treadmill when she experienced a feeling of cold air in her lungs. She got off the treadmill and attempted to do floor exercises, but had to stop. She started making dinner, but still didn’t feel well. “I thought I had the flu,” she said.

For every unexplained pain, Cochran had an excuse.

She attributed the throbbing she felt in both her forearms to a possible muscle pain caused by scrapping tile and

received a stent at Good Samaritan Hospital.

Afterward, she learned her heart suffered some damage, probably because she waited to get help.

“The message I want to get out is, ‘If you feel different than you normally would feel, get it checked out,’” she said. “Go by your gut feeling.

Your body tells you a lot of things.”

McMillan. “I realized I was really in denial. I realized this was the place I needed to be,” Cochran said.

She participates in the rehab program and has worked with staff on a weight lifting plan that is appropriate for her, her heart and an irregular heartbeat experienced following her attack.

AMERICAN HEART MONTH

TROY DAILY NEWS • WWW.TDN-NET.COM

Survivors share tales, share optimism If there’s one thing heart-trouble survivors have in common, it’s optimism.

Three Sidney residents looked heart problems in the face — and, with the help of good doctors and other healthcare professionals, have faced them down. Now, they all look forward, not back.

And they laugh a lot.

Their good attitudes are helping their recovery, according to Dr. Harvey Hahn of Sidney Cardiology, Alliance Physicians Inc. He is the physician overseeing care of two of the three. “The better your attitude, the more likely you’re going to do well,� he said. “You get out of it what you put into it. And when you have a good attitude, you’re more engaged in your own care.�

Bill McClain Bill McClain’s first heart attack occurred in 1982 when he was 43.

Another one came in 1988 when he was 48. The third came a day after the second. Since then, he has been resuscitated 33 times.

A Sidney native, McClain moved to Florida in the mid-1980s for his job as a salesman. He became a patient of Dr. Carl Pepine, a professor of medicine, Division of Cardiovascular Medicine at the University of Florida College of Medicine in Gainesville, Fla. Pepine treated McClain for severe coronary arterial disease, anterior and inferior myocardial infarction, ischemia, left ventricular dysfunction, ventricular fibrillation, enducarditis and septicemia. McClain survived 26 cardiac arrests. “I had to go on disability,� he said. “The purpose of being in Florida was the

Bill McClain (second from left) enjoys his weekly coffee with pals, (l-r) Tim Russell and Louis Moniaci, of Sidney and Neil Harvey of Casstown. McClain has been resuscitated from heart problems and cardiac arrests 33 times. job. I had 25 percent function in my heart.� Since he was no longer working in Florida, he returned to Sidney in 2000. He took medication, Amiodarone, for 17 years and then took the advice of his doctors and had an internal defibrillator implanted in 2005.

The surgery was done in Florida. He had been back in Sidney for only two days when the device shocked him.

He visited Dr. Randall Orem in Sidney, who increased his medication.

Orem also changed the battery in the defibrillator in 2009.

More recently, McClain has been seeing the doctors at Sidney Cardiology, Alliance Physicians Inc. His heart functions at 10 to 15 percent and it’s enlarged. “So it beats slower and has a tough time pumping enough blood to the lungs,� he said. Therefore, he is on oxygen full time and he does a regular regimen of exercises at Wilson Memorial Hospital: 20 minutes on a stationary bike, 20 minutes on a treadmill and an arm motion workout.

Every Thursday, he meets friends for coffee at Tim Hortons. “You can’t get too excit-

ed or you get shocked,�

McClain said. “You can sit next to me and wouldn’t know it. But it sounds like a bomb goes off inside of me.�

This month, he will celebrate his 72nd birthday. “I never thought I would live this long,� he said, laughing.

Betty Lee Hughes “My hobby is my whole life,� bubbled Betty Lee Hughes. A retired registered nurse, she had no idea when she was working in the cardiology unit at Wilson Memorial Hospital that she would one day be a heart patient herself.

Hughes is a breast cancer survivor, having had a mastectomy in 1978. She retired from nursing in 1990. “I had a beautiful career,� she said.

A 1992 MRI showed that she had no disc in her lower back. It was painful to walk, so Hughes began regular use of a wheelchair.

She also began to swim.

Now 77, she and her husband, Wilbur, are religious about swimming at the YMCA for an hour three days each week. “Over the last 10 or 12 years, I had been getting increasingly short of breath,� Hughes said. “In 2000, I was going in for

surgery and tests showed I had a heart murmur.�

Those health problems did not slow Hughes down.

She helped to found the Senior Center of Sidney and Shelby County, she continues to sit on the board of the Area Agency on Aging. She is active with the Coalition on Aging and AARP and is often on the go with friends. “Back in August, I went to a two-day seminar at Deercreek Lodge for the Area Agency on Aging,� she said. “I pushed my wheelchair with the luggage in it. I got into the lodge and blacked out. I went through the weekend, but I stayed

in my wheelchair after that.�

Back in Sidney after the seminar, Hughes visited her doctor, Dr. Robert McDevitt, and told him about her blacking out. He recommended an echocardiogram and an ultrasound. “You have very severe stenosis,� the physician told her. “It’s out of your hands.

The treatment is the replacement of the aortic valve. I’d like to do a catheterization right away.�

Stenosis is the abnormal narrowing of a blood vessel.

Hughes went to Kettering for the surgery.

The day after, she blacked

out and her heart stopped.

Medical personnel connected her to a pacemaker. “That’s very common, especially with women,�

Hughes said. She recuperated for two weeks at Dorothy Love Retirement Community and had four weeks of occupational therapy and home health care.

That was followed by four weeks of cardiac rehabilitation at Wilson. “Now it’s all over and I feel great,� Hughes enthused. “I don’t even have pain in my back.

Apparently, the pain in my back was because my heart wasn’t pumping enough blood there.�
