Expect pope to strengthen faith, uplift poor BY NATALIE KNOTH Staff Writer nknoth@civitasmedia.com

Tower closures will strip safety net CHICAGO (AP) — The planned shutdown of up to 238 air traffic control towers across the country under federal budget cuts will strip away an extra layer of safety during takeoffs and landings, leaving pilots to manage the most critical stages of flight on their own. The towers slated to close are at smaller airports with lighter traffic, and all pilots are trained to land without help by communicating among themselves on a common radio frequency. But airport directors and pilots say there is little doubt the removal of that second pair of eyes on the ground increases risk and will slow the progress that has made the U.S. air system the safest in the world.

The former Argentine cardinal, 76, was selected following two days of voting in Vatican City, in which 115 cardinals younger than 80 and eligible to vote participated in the TROY conclave. The Rev. Fr. John MacQuarrie of West Milton’s Church of The Transfiguration said he was stunned but absolutely happy that a South American cardinal was elected. He anticipated that an Italian would be chosen, given that the last two popes — dating back to 1978 — BY MELANIE YINGST were non-Italian.

■ CONTINUED FROM 1 night at Trent Arena — and propelling the Eagles into their firstever state tournament. “At Day 1 of practice, I made all of the kids look me in the eye, and I told them all ‘I believe you can get to state,’” an emotional Zawadzki said. “They looked at me like, ‘what?’ I said it again … ‘I believe you can get to state.’ And now that it’s happened, I can barely believe that it actually came true myself.” But the Eagles (26-2) have believed since the beginning, and it showed all season. After winning their third straight Metro Buckeye Conference championship, the Eagles won their first-ever sectional title by defeating MBC foe Yellow Springs for a third time — no easy feat for any team in a season. They followed that up with their first-ever district title by beating Fort Loramie, then they shocked the undefeated No. 1 team in the state, Tri-Village, in Tuesday’s regional semifinal. Friday night, they finished proving their coach right. “We told each other on the first day of practice, when we were out running sprints at 6 a.m., that this was our ultimate goal,” senior Christian Salazar said. “And we achieved it. We worked our butts off for this all year, and we earned this — and that’s the bottom line.” Troy Christian faces Cleveland Villa Angela-St. Joseph in the state semifinal round at 10:45 a.m. Friday at the Schottenstein Center in Columbus.

arena has great acoustics, thanks to the renovations made nearly a decade ago to improve sound quality. “We’ve had several acts that were impressed with the acoustics with our venue,” Siler said. Siler said it takes up to seven months from submitting a proposal to host acts such as Moore, Josh Turner and Terry Fator. Despite the lack of diva-esque requests, sometimes the entertainers need entertaining before they hit the stage and perform for the sell-out crowds. When Luke Bryan performed at Hobart Arena in October 2011, he went deer hunting outside of Troy. Despite being a native of Arkansas, Moore attended an Ohio State University football game before he hit the Hobart stage for the first time on Oct. 23, 2010, with Easton Corbin. “We’ve had performers go to local gyms, go golfing, stuff like that,” Siler said. “A couple times they’ve asked where’s the best place to run at and we’ll point out our bike path, which a lot of them enjoy.” If you happen to see Siler out and about on concert night, he’s running on a few hours of sleep and will be at the arena long after the night has ended. “Event day is a very, very long day,” Siler said. At the arena until midnight the night before a concert, Siler is back at the arena by 7 a.m. until 3 a.m. the night of the concert.

Country artist Dustin Lynch helped get the crowd ready for headliner Justin Moore Friday at Hobart Arena as part of the Outlaws Like Me Tour. Jon Pardi was the opening act, followed by Lynch and Moore. “The staff works all night after concerts to have the arena ready for either ice the next morning or the next event,” Siler said. The Jordan World Circus travels to Troy for a Tuesday night show, which offers a whole other spin on entertainment. “Clean-up is interesting to say the least,” Siler said of being a venue for circus acts. “They basically turn our parking lot into a zoo for a day. I’ll look out my window and there will be an elephant, tigers, camels. You name it, it’s in our parking lot.” Siler said it has been a learning experience for him and his staff to host the variety of events at Hobart Arena. “We got our staff trained to the point they are comfortable with

each event,” Siler said. “It definitely has become easier because for a while it was a living and learning experience to see what we could do to make things easier for the next event.” Siler said each event is unique and often has its own special hurdle to overcome, such as rebuilding a stage after it was set, but by the time fans come through Hobart Arena’s doors, everything is ready to roll. “The response is that people like coming here to the smaller venues because they feel closer to the act,” Siler said. “You still feel a part of the show even if you aren’t front row.” Overall, Siler said when concerts take place at Hobart Arena, it takes 22 security personnel, six police officers, two EMTs and 30 trained Hobart Arena staff, including ticket takers, parking staff, box office, vendors and others to help make every patron’s experience a safe, fun and entertaining evening in Troy. One would think Siler would have abundant access to get autographs or more face time with acts like Justin Moore, but it’s quite the opposite for the director of the arena. “Typically not,” he said. “I’m so busy that I don’t have the chance to do that. There’s always something that needs done.” Instead, Siler already is gearing up for Hobart Arena’s fall lineup. “We’ve got a few things starting to line up so we are excited to see what will be coming our way next,” Siler said.

Pope ■ CONTINUED FROM 1 The Rev. Fr. Jim Duell of Troy’s St. Patrick Catholic Church shared MacQuarrie’s pleasant surprise at the selection of Bergoglio, a man revered for his humility. “I think he sounds like a wonderful man,” Duell said. “He is the son of immigrant Italians; his father was a railroad worker. He’s taught and mentored people for the priesthood and is very humble — he prefers to ride public transportation instead of a limo.”

Bergoglio gave a voice to the disadvantaged in his home country and has been called a champion of the poor worldwide. “We do not know abject poverty; there are places in the world where people are just fighting to get through the day,” Duell said. “If someone can motivate other religious leaders and we can work together, imagine the things that can be done to reduce poverty — not that there are not things going on now, but this pope will do things further.”

He added, “Everyone I have spoken to who saw and observed this pope in his first public appearances was moved by his commonness, his humility, his reaching out to all people, and I think that’s a wonderful start.” While both priests acknowledged that Bergoglio will need to address the sexual abuse crisis, they expect much of his attention to be spent on uplifting the poor and strengthening faith across the globe. “He needs to focus on the

basics, as all popes do: our Lord as the redeemer of the world, the one who heals all wounds,” MacQuarrie said. “Now is he going to change church teachings on things like abortion and the struggle of homosexuality? No, that’s not going to change. He has to be true to the gospel and tradition, but do it with love. Tone is very important, how you proclaim the gospel. If it’s gloom and doom or ‘Thou shalt not’ only, it’s not going to win souls; it’s not going to win over people.”

Extra deputies on road TROY — The Miami County Sheriff’s Office is deploying extra deputies through Monday for the St. Patrick’s Day weekend. St. Patrick’s Day usually sees an increase in alcohol consumption, and as a result deputies are working a combined 32 hours of overtime this weekend for traffic enforcement purposes only. Deputies are focused on removing impaired drivers, seat belt enforcement and other crash-causing violations. Deputies are targeting routes with a high rate of impaired driving arrests and also routes with high rates of crashes. No warnings will be issued during those time frames. Those who choose to drink are reminded to have a designated driver who is sober or risk being arrested. The extra traffic enforcement is made possible through a grant the Sheriff ’s Office received late last year from the Ohio Office of Criminal Justice Services.

PERSPECTIVE

“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.” — First Amendment, U.S. Constitution

EDITORIAL ROUNDUP Muskogee (Okla.) Phoenix on pocketknives on commercial planes: Dropping our guard again can’t become the legacy of the 9/11 terror attacks. The Transportation Security Administration’s decision to let passengers carry pocketknives on flights unnecessarily rolls back protections designed to keep 9/11 from happening again. Terrorists used simple box cutters to take over planes and crash them into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon in 2001. Now the TSA will allow smaller pocketknives — blades less than 2.36 inches long and less than half an inch wide — on planes. Small blades can be sharpened into deadly weapons. At least that was the fear when pocketknives were banned in the first place. Those blades are just as deadly now as they were in 2001. The TSA policy aligns the United States with international standards and allows the TSA to concentrate on more serious safety threats, the agency said. The TSA may believe those knives and small bottles of shampoo or lotion are harmless. But terrorists have hidden explosives in tennis shoes. Criminals and terrorists count on people letting down their guard because they don’t like the inconvenience of being diligent. Many of the things that are banned for carry-on are acceptable to be in luggage kept in the plane’s cargo hold. Anyone who is surprised by having a pocketknife seized has not been paying attention for the last 12 years. You don’t stop brushing your teeth because your dentist says you don’t have cavities. Keeping potential weapons off planes is not a violation of passengers’ rights. Keeping terrorists off planes is an affirmation of passengers’ rights. San Francisco Chronicle on China’s climate change initiative: Finally, a nation that is contributing heavily to climate change is taking a major step to reduce its emissions. Unfortunately, this global leadership is not coming from the United States. It’s coming from China. China is the world’s largest emitter of greenhouse gases, so the news (reported by Xinhua, a state-owned media service) that it’s going to introduce a carbon tax is huge. The tax is unlikely to be on the scale that experts suggest would make a serious dent in climate change: In 2010, China’s ministry of finance suggested levying a carbon tax of 10 yuan ($1.60) per ton in 2012, to rise to 50 yuan ($8) per ton in 2020. Experts have suggested a tax of 500 yuan, or $80 per ton. Still, even a small Chinese carbon tax would mean a dramatic step forward for the planet. And it’s a lot more than anything the United States has done. China’s announcement also comes as a bit of a surprise. For years, China has been a strident opponent of coordinated international efforts to combat climate change — rivaled only by the United States in this opposition. Yet China has much to lose from the steady encroachment of climate change, and it’s finally starting to acknowledge that fact. Improving the environment isn’t just a matter of good policy for the Chinese government, it’s a matter of political survival. Even if China’s plan is driven by its own internal politics, it’s still a better plan than what the United States has — which is no plan at all. It’s just one more sign that the rest of the world is moving forward on climate change, boosting their own renewable energy industries and improving the health of their populations in the process. Meanwhile, the clock is running out and the United States is still running in place.

LETTERS

Please turn down ‘Trafalgar’ rezoning To the Editor: To the Miami County Commissioners: We are writing this letter in regards to the “Trafalgar” rezoning. This will be at least the 16th time this parcel of land will come to you for your

approval to rezone. And soon, most likely, the majority of voters will vote against the rezoning. There has been a breakdown of democracy with all this; the will of the people has been ignored consistently. In few situations is the mandate of voters clearer than on this issue. So, with this said, we ask you to turn down the request to rezone the “Trafalgar” parcel

of land. You have many reasons to do so and state law would support your decision. Now is the time to look to the future and carefully guide the use of our precious resources. Thank you for your attention to this.

DOONESBURY

Mayor Bloomberg’s soda plan went awry New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg's ban on large-size sodas at certain establishments, colloquially known as the soda ban, is a lesson in how to make your cause look ridiculous. Bloomberg hoped the ban would spark a nationwide crackdown on sugary beverages. Instead, it became the subject of widespread mockery, inspired an instant-classic New York Post headline ("Soda Jerk") and got struck down by a New York judge this week as "arbitrary and capricious." You could say that Bloomberg jumped the shark, except sharkjumping is associated with undue health risks that may burden public hospitals in the vicinities where it takes place and therefore should be banned in all coastal areas of the United States. If the makers of "Schoolhouse Rock!" were to illustrate the process whereby New York almost got its soda ban, it would be very easy. Mayor Bloomberg tells the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene what to do, and it does it. No fuss or muss with the City Council, the elected body accountable to the people of New York that is supposed to write laws. Bloomberg managed to craft a

Rich Lowry Troy Daily News Guest Columnist measure with the least possible bang for the diktat. It forbids drinks over 16 ounces at restaurants and delis, movie theaters and food carts. It doesn't ban them at supermarkets or convenience stores, where people buy most of their soda. It leaves 7-Eleven and its unapologetically gut-busting Big Gulp unmolested. In other words, the soda ban is like prohibiting cigarette advertising — except for Joe Camel and the Marlboro Man. Or like forcing top-shelf New York restaurants such as Per Se and La Grenouille to no longer serve bottles of wine as a way to fight alcoholism. Bloomberg is a true believer in the lifesaving consequences of his health agenda, and his smoking ban did indeed sweep the country. Yet his soda measure is so obvi-

— Joseph Hadlock and Jan Yoder Troy

ously ineffectual symbolism that it has a whiff of imposing his will for the sheer sake of it. The city's lawyers argued in court that the Board of Health could hand down the new soda rule because it has broad powers to fight disease. But there is a difference between an outbreak of a deadly communicable disease that has people dropping in the streets and excessive soda consumption. If someone drinks a 32-ounce Cherry Coke next to you at a movie theater, it doesn't make you sick. In his decision striking down the ban — which the city is appealing — Judge Milton Tingling mentioned that, in the 19th century, the Board of Health was given the power to put contagious patients out to sea in floating hospitals. If a health expert from some university somewhere suggested floating obese people out to sea as a weight-loss measure, Bloomberg might be sorely tempted. A mere partial ban on large serving sizes is unlikely to have any effect, though. In a piece for The Daily Beast, Trevor Butterworth noted a study that found the top-consuming 20 percent of adolescent boys drank an

ungodly 193.6 ounces, or more than a gallon, a day. Does Bloomberg think anything he does short of an outright ban on all soda will stop these kids? Even in that event, they would undoubtedly visit Mountain Dew speak-easies and imbibe home-brewed Dr Pepper. If the mayor somehow succeeded in reducing the calories people get through soda, they could always get them another way. In a study called "From Coke to Coors," Cornell University researchers conducted an experiment "in a small American city where half of the households faced a 10 percent [soda] tax and half did not." They report that "in beer-purchasing households, this tax led to increased purchases of beer." The New York Times related that the mayor's office is particularly anxious over the fate of the soda ban because the mayor is more and more concerned about his legacy. He shouldn't worry. His reputation as the nation's foremost highhanded scold is already well-established. Rich Lowry can be reached via e-mail: comments.lowry@nationalreview.com

Raising awareness, support Group looks to expand horse trails in county BY CECILIA FOX For Civitas Media tdneditorial@civitasmedia.com

MIAMI COUNTY

In 2012, a grassroots group of local horse owners opened the first public bridle paths in the county. Now, they’re hard at work to expand those trails and create more opportunities for area riders. The Miami County Equine Initiatives Task Force is a group of area horse enthusiasts who are dedicated to developing trails and expanding the equine industry in Miami County. Last year they partnered with Tipp City to establish the first horse trails in the county in Kyle Park, the first step toward a larger network of trails. Their next move may be to connect the Kyle Park trails with a set of established, but not yet open, trails in the Honey Creek Preserve. Right now, MCEITF President Flora Rectenwald said, the goal is to raise awareness and support in the community. On Thursday, the group hosted a forum for community leaders, local politicians and representatives from local horse groups to discuss the need for more trails. All agreed that the expansion of bridle paths can only benefit the county, both economically and by adding a valuable recreational asset.

Members of other area equine groups are excited about the prospect of new trails. Keith Schaurer, the director of Eagle’s Wings Therapeutic Riding Center in Piqua, and Pamela Bartel, advisor of the 4-H Youth Horse Club, both agreed that local riding opportunities will greatly benefit the local community. “The trail project in Miami County is very exciting for us,” Schaurer said. Eagle’s Wings provides equine therapy to people with special needs, helping them with communication and socialization skills, muscle strength, confidence and self-esteem. The 4-H horse program helps kids connect with animals and teaches them responsibility, assertiveness and leadership. The club currently practices at the Miami County Fairgrounds. A large network of horse trails would create more local riding options for both organizations. “To actually get to go out on the trail would be wonderful,” Bartel said. Not only are horse trails great for local horse groups, MCEITF Vice President Steve Glaser explained, the task force sees the trails as an opportunity to bring new business to Miami County.

According to Glaser, equine recreation is a $628 million industry in Ohio. Events like the Quarter Horse Congress and the Equine Affaire in Columbus draw huge crowds from across the country and around the world. “Today’s horses are big business,” Glaser said. Before the Kyle Park trail was established, local riders had to travel out of the county. Tipp City was chosen as the location for the first trail because horse trails were part of the original plan for the city’s parks and because they are in keeping with the rural heritage of Tipp City and Miami County. Horses have been relied upon for centuries for farming and transportation, but in Tipp City they were especially important during the canal era. “I was so glad to be a part of the trails coming to Tipp City,” Mayor Dee Gillis said. Tipp City Councilman Mike McDermott praised MCEITF’s efforts to establish trails in Miami County, likening the horse trails to the network of bike paths in the county. “Now we have a fantastic attraction and a fantastic type of activity, an outdoor activity that everyone in Miami County can enjoy,” McDermott said of the bike path. “I think this trail in Tipp City is just the start of that for equine enthusiasts in Miami

County and abroad.” State Representative Dick Adams and State Senator Bill Beagle, both supporters of MCEITF’s efforts, also attended the forum. “I really admire the work that you’re doing. Not enough people really recognize the value of having a comprehensive system of horse trails,” Adams said. “I was very surprised and very proud that that sort of thing be available in Miami County.” Since their establishment in 2011, MCEITF has worked to establish trails in Tipp City’s Kyle Park and in Honey Creek Preserve. MCEITF has been using technology to gather support from local riders and from people as far away as the state of Washington, which they hope proves that the trails will help draw tourists to the area. “We’re reaching out and people are reaching back and telling us what it is they’re interested in,” Rectenwald said. Commenters from Urbana, Xenia and Kettering have expressed interest in visiting the new trails and the surrounding communities. More information about the task force and its mission can be found online at www.mceitf.com and on their Facebook page. Donations can be made through PayPal on the task force website.

Ohio school moves Jesus portrait Painting is at center of lawsuit CINCINNATI (AP) A Jesus portrait that has embroiled a southern Ohio school district in a federal lawsuit has been moved from the middle school to a high school at the preference of a Christian-based student club that the district views as the picture’s owner. Phil Howard, superintendent of the Jackson City Schools, said Friday that the portrait was moved earlier this week at the request of the Hi-Y club, which put it up in 1947 in a building that is now the middle school. A complaint about the portrait left the district in the midst of an ongoing national debate over what displays of religion are constitutional. The lawsuit filed last month against the district by the American Civil Liberties Union of Ohio and the Wis.based Freedom From Religion Foundation contends the portrait unconstitutionally promotes religion at school. Schools Superintendent Phil Howard said he is not sure what, if any, effect

AP PHOTO/COLUMBUS DISPATCH, DORAL CHENOWETH III

This Feb. 12 photo shows a painting of Jesus Christ, upper left, hanging above an entrance to Jackson Middle School in Jackson, Ohio, next to a “Hall of Honor” showing famous Jackson residents and school alumni. The superintendent of the southern Ohio district facing a federal lawsuit over the Jesus portrait says it’s been moved to a high school at the preference of the Christian-based student club that the district views as the picture’s owner. moving the portrait might have on the lawsuit, but he said the district had no choice. “We have to respect the rights of the club,” Howard said. “Failure to do so might open the district to even another lawsuit this time by the H-Y club” or violate the U.S Constitution by “turning the portrait into govern-

ment speech.” Officials have maintained that taking the portrait down would censor students’ private speech. “It belongs to the club,” Howard said. “It’s student speech, not government speech.” The school board had voted last month to keep the portrait up while allowing other student groups to

hang portraits related to their focuses. Howard said that the board policy created a limited public forum at both the middle school and the high school for student groups to be able to display portraits. “The club has the right to hang it in either school,” Howard said. Bob Eisnaugle, an art teacher and adviser to the

Hi-Y service club, said that the group of about 60 students decided last week to move the portrait to the high school, where the club meets and where its current members are students. He said the middle school building housed the high school when the club presented the portrait, and it had just never been moved to the newer building. Eisnaugle said the club wants to keep the portrait up because “the club is Christian-based and it represents the club and the Christian principles that the club values.” He said the purposes of the club haven’t changed through the years “and neither have the principles it values.” The portrait now is hanging on a wall alongside a trophy case. Worner, a Nick spokesman for the ACLU of Ohio, said Friday that he couldn’t comment on legal strategy, but he stressed that the group’s position hasn’t changed. “It doesn’t matter which public building the portrait is in,” Worner said. “It’s an unconstitutional endorsement of religion on the part of a public school.” The 2,500-student district is in Jackson, a city of about 7,000 in mostly rural Appalachian Ohio.

Ohio GOP chairman says party supports Sen. Portman COLUMBUS (AP) — The chairman of the Ohio Republican Party said Friday the state GOP will continue to stand behind U.S. Sen. Rob Portman, who has announced he now supports gay marriage. Chairman Bob Bennett acknowledged some Republicans will disagree with Portman’s decision, but Bennett said he respects the junior senator’s right to make up his own mind. “Certainly, you can’t question Rob’s conservative credentials when it comes to issues affecting the Republican Party,” Bennett said in an interview. “I think we’ll be fine. And the party is a big tent. We welcome

people holding a wide range of positions on some very difficult issues.” Still, Bennett said the state GOP received a flurry of phone calls for about two hours on Friday morning from people upset about Portman’s stance. But he said the calls were fewer in number than those offering their opinions on Republican Gov. John Kasich’s state budget proposal. The calls about Portman had died down by the afternoon. “So I’m not sure how big of an issue it is among the Republican family right now,” he said. Portman told reporters Thursday in Washington

that his views began changing in 2011 when his college-age son, Will, told his parents he was gay. In an op-ed published Friday in The Columbus Dispatch, he said the decision came after much thought. “I have come to believe that if two people are prepared to make a lifetime commitment to love and care for each other in good times and in bad, the government shouldn’t deny them the opportunity to get married,” he wrote. As a member of the House in 1996, Portman voted in favor of the Defense of Marriage Act, which defines marriage as between a man and a

woman and bars federal recognition of same-sex marriage. Portman’s reversal makes him the only Senate Republican to back gay marriage. Asked whether Portman’s decision would change the level of financial support or help from the state GOP party, Bennett said, “Absolutely not.” Portman does not face re-election until 2016. He won his seat in 2010 with almost 57 percent of the vote. A group working to overturn Ohio’s ban on samesex marriage praised Portman’s comments, as did Ohio’s senior senator, Democrat Sherrod Brown.

“I look forward to working with him to ensure that all Americans have the ability to marry, regardless of whom they love or where they live,” Brown said in a written statement. Brown voted against DOMA while he was a member of the U.S. House. Portman told reporters Thursday he would back overturning Ohio’s state ban on same-sex marriage if it comes up in a voter referendum. “I’m going to be supportive of Ohioans having the opportunity to marry,” he said. “I would not plan to take a leadership role in this, but people will know my position.”

COLUMBUS (AP) — The Ohio Amber Alert Steering Committee has decided for now to stop sending alerts about abducted children to Ohioans’ cell phones between midnight and 6 a.m. after an overnight alert prompted complaints.

A State Highway Patrol spokeswoman tells The Columbus Dispatch there was “considerable grumbling” in complaints to troopers and the attorney general about an alert early Tuesday. The subjects of it were found safe hours later. The alerts go automati-

cally to phones that are in the Wireless Emergency Alert program, and others can be set to get them. A patrol spokeswoman says Ohio will study the issue more before possibly permanently excluding alerts during certain hours.

DEATHS OF NATIONAL INTEREST • Jack Greene NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Jack Greene, a longtime Grand Ole Opry star who earned fame with the hit “There Goes My Everything,” has died in Nashville at 83. The song showed off his deep voice, made him a star and earned him the single of the year and male vocalist of the year awards from the Country Music Association in 1967. Grand Ole Opry spokeswoman Jessie Schmidt said Friday that Greene died in his sleep Thursday night at home from complications of Alzheimer’s disease. Greene performed regularly on the Grand Ole Opry beginning in 1967. His other hits, mostly in the late 1960s, included “All the Time,” ”Are My Treasure,” ”Until My Dreams Come True,” ”What Locks the Door” and “Statue of a Fool.” He was nominated for a Grammy award three straight years. “There was a whirlwind of events,” he recalled in a 1992 Associated Press interview. “I’d go from one town to another, one radio station to another, one event to another. It was the highlight of my career.” His “There Goes My Everything” even spawned a competing pop version by Englebert Humperdinck. “I had letters by the thousands from people who had lost loved ones,” he said about the reaction to his song. “It touched a lot of people’s lives.” In the late 1960s and early 1970s, Greene recorded duet hits with Jeannie Seely including, “Wish I Didn’t Have to Miss You.” He was a native of Maryville, Tenn., where he started in radio at WGAP. He was a singer-guitarist who played bass and drums in various groups, then got his break when Country Music Hall of Famer Ernest Tubb hired him to be drummer for his band in the early 1960s. • Dr. Jacquelin Perry DOWNEY, Calif. — Dr. Jacquelin Perry, a worldrenowned orthopedic surgeon who pioneered treatments to help polio patients regain movement, has died. She was 94. Perry died Monday at her Downey home. Her death was announced by Rancho Los Amigos National Rehabilitation Center in Downey, where she worked for nearly 60 years. In the 1950s, Perry developed spinal fusion surgery to help paralyzed polio patients regain some movement. Decades later, some returned with postpolio symptoms of pain and muscle weakness. Perry became an expert into their conditions. Perry also was known as an expert in the human gait. Her research into helping people with walking difficulties led to practices that are still used.

Student Organizations are an Important Component of Career and Technical Education Career and Technical Student Organizations (CTSO) are organizations designed to support students in career and technical education (CTE). Career and technical education schools like Upper Valley Career Center help prepare high school and adult learners for the next step on their career pathway. Forty-eight percent of Upper Valley CC high school grads take the step into postsecondary education after graduationi. Eighty-eight percent chose to enter the workforce and/or attend collegeii. CTSOs help Career and Technical educators connect rigorous academic content with technical subject matter to help students get a head start on career goals. Career and Technical Student Organizations support that effort by encouraging students to develop critical leadership skills as well as technical abilities. The competitive component of CTSO participation provides invaluable motivation and recognition for excellence. Upper Valley Career Center has taken a new approach to the operation of CTSO on campus by designating one day per quarter as CTSO Day. All organizations meet at the same time during those scheduled events. Jason Haak, Executive Director, explains, “Completion of the Ohio Schools Facility Commission renovation project and the technology updates it includ-

ed, allows us to accommodate all five student organizations at once.” He says that spatial limitations which had been a stumbling block in the past have been overcome with the addition of large drop down screens, amplification and integrated projection systems. “The addition of this technology makes it possible to accommodate all 500 SkillsUSA members in one seating since it virtually connects the large Dining Commons with onstage activity in the Lecture Center,” Haak added. Haak points out that by conducting the meetings simultaneously they have successfully increased student participation to 100% and decreased the disruptions to academic classes and labs. “We recognize the important role of CTSOs in Career and Technical Education. They create good will and build enthusiasm for achievement and help develop the career, leadership, and personal skills which will help our students become outstanding citizens and life-long learners.

Family Career and Community Leaders of America Family Career and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA) helps young men and women become strong leaders in families, careers, and communities. The Upper Valley Career Center Culinary Arts, Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC), and Family and Consumer Science satellite programs maintain the local chapter. Each program elects officers. Culinary Arts and Early Childhood Education and Care participate in CTSO Days activities together and share responsibility for leading and organizing alternate meetings. The February Chapter meeting focused on Healthy Living and Healthy Eating. It was an active learning experience with students moving through a series of stations that included exercise led by Bobby Chadeayne, manager of Anytime Fitness, Piqua ; student-led presentations that included taste tests of healthy food options, and a presentation by Penny Clark from Dorothy Love,

Sidney. Clark helped students read and interpret the information on food labels. Students were surprised by the levels of unhealthy trans fats in some of their favorites food choices, but they were also able to identify better options that are equally appealing. Both Culinary Arts and Early Childhood Education and Care maintain very active schedules beyond their FCCLA involvement. Culinary Arts began operating the school’s new restaurant in November. The Cornerstone @ 8811 opened in November and has become a popular community hotspot open for lunch on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday each week when school is in session. Level l students take the first shift and are replaced by their Level ll counterparts for the second. The state licensed preschool for children 18 months through 5 years old is also operated by Level l and Level ll students. The student “teachers” practice developmentally appropriate procedures

and develop activities for the children. The preschool operates one morning a week for toddlers, two mornings a week for three and fouryear-olds, and three afternoons a week for the four and five-yearolds. The preschool is state licensed by the Department of Education and aligns with the state of Ohio’s Early Learning Content Standards. With all these responsibilities the FCCLA students were excited to participate in local and regional competitions. Regional and state winners may be found at www.uppervalleycc.org.

SkillsUSA: Champions at Work!

SkillsUSA is the largest career technical student organization at the Upper Valley Career Center with over 522 participants. This organization encompasses all students enrolled in career technical trade and industrial education programs. SkillsUSA encourages leadership development through participation in educational, career technical, civic, recreational and social activities. SkillsUSA encourages students to build high standards in trade ethics, workmanship, scholar-

ship and safety.

The FFA Chapter at Upper Valley Career Center is 84 members strong on campus through Ag and Power Technologies (APT), Environmental Occupations (EO), and Horticulture and Landscape Management (LM). Additional Agriculture programs and their FFA chapters operate through Upper Valley Career Center satellites. Founded as the "Future Farmers of America" the organization is still future focused and still deals with issue related to feeding the hungry. FFA encourages members to develop their own unique talents and explore their interests in a broad range of career pathways including bio-science, botany, chemical engineers, agronomist, veterinary practitioners, mechanics, technicians, market analyses, and entrepreneurs. Across the nation there are 557,318 FFA members, aged 12‒21, in 7,498 chapters. Upper Valley FFA Chapter conducted a Greenhand Ceremony this fall with a total of 26 members receiving the degree. As the first level of achievement, The Greenhand Degree is normally earned by younger students, but many of the FFA members at the Career Center are newcomers to Ag Education by virtue of their program. “The Greenhand degree is a worthy goal for our students,” said Dr. Gene Coordonnier program supervisor. “It symbolizes growth and indicates that higher achievements are ahead. That’s what we want for all students,” he adds. Regional and state winners may be found at www.uppervalleycc.org. Each of the three on-campus programs maintains a tight calendar of community events, service, and “extreme” learning. The Ag and Power Technologies students “extremely” enjoyed their experience operating heavy equipment. Jeff Weeks worked with both level l and level ll students as they practiced maneuvers. Landscape and Horticulture students will have finished starts and operated garden shop sales during two seasons. Working in the new, fully automated greenhouse gives the students the opportunity to work and learn during all four seasons with the added bonus of retail experience. The annual poinsettia and spring flower sales are community favorites. John Kreitzer looks forward to more turf work with the students this spring. The Environmental Occupations program kicks off the year with an 10-day field trip to Yellowstone National Park. Participating seniors are amazed by the diverse eco systems, plant and animal species, and the extreme beauty of natural wonders such as “Old Faithful’. Their enhanced appreciation of natural resources serves them well as they maintain the school’s nature preserve, wetlands, and museum. Together the programs provided a sponsor an Animal Display which is enjoyed by Pre-School students as well as Career Center students and staff. The chapter committed a significant amount of community service time to working with Agape in Sidney. The non-profit’s mission to assist members of the community with food provisions is right in keeping with FFA’s movement “Feeding the World— Starting at Home.”

Business Professionals of America Business Professionals of America (BPA) is the professional organization for students enrolled in Computer Information Technology and Interactive Media at the Career Center as well as Computer Information Systems at Sidney High School and Information Technology at Troy High School. There are currently 58 students participating on campus. The full organization has 43,000 members in over 2,300 chapters in 23 states. Each class elects officers to take leadership role with fund raising, chapter meetings and business. Interactive Media class presidents are Ashley Gilmore, Piqua, Level ll and Julie Echeman, Sidney, Level l. Class presidents in Computer Information Technology are Anthony Kipp, Anna, Level l, and John Hampton Piqua, Level ll. BPA students welcomed special speakers from Minster Bank to their October meeting. Julie Uhlenhake and Alisa Weber shared excellent financial information and gave each one a $25voucher for opening a checking account with Minster Bank if desired. Danielle Powers, Staffmark, Troy, gave a presentation on important interview techniques in December. Paul Brown of Riverside of Miami County kicked off BPA’s Annual Special Olympic emphasis at the February chapter meeting. Support of Special Olympics is a national emphasis that the Upper Valley Career Center chapter embraces

fully with fund raising and community service. Each year the Interactive Media and Computer Information Technology students sell paper “shoes” to raise money for their spring walk-a-thon. This drive is currently in full swing and continues up to the Regional Walk-a-Thon in April. The Career Center students are actively involved with Special Olympics on a personal level than might be expected. Each March they participate in fun basketball game with the Miami County Special Olympics basket ball team and invite Special Olympians to join them for lunch and games at Young’s Dairy immediately following the Walk-a-Thon. BPA sponsors skill competition each year allowing students to demonstrate their proficiency in technical and professional areas related to their business field. State competitions will be held March 21 and 22 in Columbus. Upper Valley Career Center and affiliated satellite program students from Troy High School and Sidney High School will be competing in 15 different competitions at the State event. The advisors for these students are: David Briggs, Piqua; Susan Caudill, St. Paris; Connie Keim (Troy HS), Casstown; and Joe Spangler (Sidney HS), Sidney. Regional and state winners may be found at www.uppervalleycc.org.

as well as provides opportunities for gaining an understanding in the history, ethics and programs of the profession. At the National level the organization is focused on attracting exemplary future educators to begin averting the teacher shortages in math, science, and special education. Local chapters help motivate students interested in education-related careers by encouraging them to set educational and career goals early in life, focus on academic achievement, explore teaching through direct experience in classrooms, and become exemplary citizens through school and community service. Rebecca Kleinhenz works with 14 seniors split between morning and afternoon sections of the

Teacher Academy program at Upper Valley. This senior-only program allows participants to spend a great deal of their time in local classrooms observing teachers in elementary, middle and high schools. The FEA students kick off the year with a community service project at Shelby Hills and a fund raiser to help support their chosen charities. The morning students chose to contribute toward Backpacks for School Lunches helping to purchase backpacks for students who need weekend meals. The afternoon students chose to send funds to Children’s Medical Center, Dayton. Kleinhenz says “Our students prove their maturity and professionalism over and over again,” Kleinhenz said.

Teacher Academy was chosen to participate in the Ohio ACTE Student Showcase in the Atrium at the Ohio Statehouse on March 7. This honor allowed the students to display samples of their work and share first-hand accounts of their experience at Upper Valley Career Center with state officials including Representative Richard N. Adams, Ohio House District 80. On March 8 they attended the FEA State Competition and Conference where Miranda Schaeffer from Troy High School received 9th place for her original children's literature book. All enjoyed presentations by motivational speaker Bruce Bouski and Carole Morbitzer, Ohio Teacher of the Year.

Current Version of the GED Test Expires at the End of 2013 Career Center encourages adults to finish before the deadline The current version of the GED (high school equivalency) test expires at the end of 2013. Those who have taken the 2002 Series GED test but not passed all five parts have until the end of 2013 to pass; or they will need to start over with the 2014 Test. Randy Trask, president and CEO of GED Testing Service says, “Anyone who has already started the GED test, your future is calling…You owe it to yourself. Don’t

miss the chance to turn one small step into your next big opportunity in life.” Upper Valley Career Center GED Chief Examiner Rose Hemm couldn’t agree more. “A GED opens doors to college, better jobs, the respect adults deserve, and the satisfaction of earning a high school credential,” she said. Hemm wants to be sure that everyone is aware of the upcoming change and deadline. GED test-takers are encouraged to act now to finish and pass before

the current test expires. Interested GED test-takers can contact Hemm at 937-778-8491, extension 301 or hemmr@uppervalleycc.org. Some points to consider: The current GED cost is $40 or $10 per subject area vs. the 2014 GED which will cost $120 or $24 per subject area. The current GED is administered by booklet, but the 2014 GED will only be available by computer. First-time GED test-takers are

required to create a Secure Application for Enterprise (SAFE) Account with the Ohio Department of Education by August 9, 2013 to be able to test in 2013. Visit ode.state.oh.us, click on GED, application, and follow directions to create an account. Once established the SAFE Account is where the individual can apply and pay to test, register into a testing session, and view test results. The last day to take the current

version of the GED® test at Upper Valley Career Center is December 10. Please remember the SAFE Account registration deadline required to test in 2013 is August 9. Hemm is available to answer questions about the changes and the information given here or you can learn more at GEDtestingservice.com. Her main message, “Now is the time to take action to reach this goal.”

New Electrical Power Line Mechanic Program Partnership with Warren County Career Center makes it possible Upper Valley Career Center and Warren County Career Center are collaborating to offer the Electrical Power Line Mechanic program a 10-month, 900-hour training program. Dr. Nancy Luce, Superintendent of Upper Valley Career Center says, “Given the demand for power line technicians, this program provides an excellent opportunity for anyone with the interest to begin a new career.” Ben Brigham, Industrial Coordinator at Upper Valley Career Center agrees. “Based on industry projections, this is a strong career choice because the anticipated number of retirements is much greater than the workforce currently available.” Warren County Career Center has been offering this program for several years with great success. Their personnel will deliver the training on campus at the Upper Valley Career Center ATC in Piqua where the utility pole training course is being installed. Brigham emphasizes that this training is for men and women who enjoy being physically active and like working outdoors. “This is a demanding job. Successful students will be in excellent physical condition, and should be prepared for working outside year-round in any and all weather.” He says travel is also a consideration since these technicians are asked to supply rapid response throughout the region following severe storms. The bottom line is students will have job opportunities with utility companies, as contractors that do high-voltage line work, or for the telephone and cable companies. Brigham says there are

ANNIEâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S MAILBOX

It is OK to set some boundaries with those â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;unwantedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; visitors Dear Annie: I desperately need your help. I thoroughly love my solitude. I love to garden, cook, sew and read. I grill every few weeks and make it a fantastic outdoor experience just for me. I could hardly wait to retire so I could finally enjoy myself completely. Unfortunately, it didn't turn out that way. Between my neighbors, relatives and even former in-laws, my time is no longer my own. I am interrupted while doing yard work or sitting on my deck. And heaven forbid I begin to grill. One person has figured out how often I grill and tends to arrive at that time and finagle an invitation. When I make an excuse to prevent the intrusion, he turns it into a guilt trip. I am at the end of my rope. I no longer look forward to good weather, because I know it means another season being bothered by intrusive people. How do I stop this without turning everyone into an enemy? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Want My Solitude Back Dear Want: These people are taking advantage of you, and you are permitting it because you fear they will dislike you otherwise. Don't be afraid to set boundaries on this behavior. It's perfectly OK to say you are not up to having company, that you would prefer to be alone, that you don't have enough food to invite them for dinner or that you cannot entertain at the moment. You don't have to give excuses or reasons. It is your home. Escort them to the door while repeating that you are so sorry you cannot accommodate them. If you do it enough, they will understand that you are not the local coffee shop, and they will be more respectful of your time. Dear Annie: I was dating this amazing girl for a few months, when all of a sudden, she up and told me her feelings toward me had changed. She won't tell me what happened or why she doesn't want me in that way anymore. The most confusing part is that she still calls me at 3 in the morning just to talk, or gets me to stay up all night because she can't sleep and doesn't want to be alone. When I see her, she still has that look on her face that says I just made her day. It's very confusing, and I don't know what to make of it. I still have feelings for her. It's been a few months, and I don't know how to broach the subject. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Dazed and Confused Dear Dazed: For your own mental health, please break things off completely. We don't doubt that this girl is fond of you, but not in a way that will make you happy. She is treating you like a puppy: something to cuddle when she's feeling low, but otherwise left in the kennel. Tell her you are finished taking on the role of platonic confidante, and stop answering her late-night calls. You cannot get over her if you remain involved in the hope that she will change her mind. You can do better. Dear Annie: "Animal Lover" makes a valid point that no one wants an animal to soil their carpets. I have a solution. Please tell your readers that there are doggie diapers (for females) and belly bands (for males) that can be found at pet shops and on the Internet. My elderly boy wears his belly band daily because his medication causes frequent urination. These options should make it easier for hosts to welcome their canine guests. It also provides pet owners options for their own homes. There is no reason to give up your elderly or medicated canine or to suffer unnecessarily. That's when our furry children need us the most. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Please Share Annie's Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

HINTS FROM HELOISE

Lip balm can really put the smack on laundry Dear Heloise: Somehow I missed my husbandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cherry lip balm when checking pockets before doing laundry. Needless to say, it got washed and dried with a large load of dark laundry. You can only imagine the grease spots that are all over now. What do you suggest? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; K.M., Greensboro, N.C. What greasy, icky stains those lip balms can make! Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the scoop from a major manufacturer of lip balms, so read on. This happens a lot! Post this column right next to the washing machine. First, treat each piece of clothing. Use dishwashing liq-

Hints from Heloise Columnist uid that has a degreasing agent. Rub the liquid into the stains (yes, each piece of clothing) and then rewash in the hottest water thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s safe for the fabric. Let air-dry, and re-treat the spots, if necessary. A letter from Bridget in Washington offers another

idea: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know this will sound too good to be true, but I promise it works on washable garments. Any oil-based stain, even if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been washed and dried, can be removed by rubbing the stain with any shampoo and then rewashing. (Heloise here: This is worth a try, especially since most hair shampoos are formulated to break down body oil. Put the shampoo on the oily stains, and either scrub with an old toothbrush or rub fabric together before putting in the washer. Let garment air-dry). Hopefully, one of these methods will help you. Laundry

stains are part of life and can make laundry day so much harder! To make it easier, I have a very helpful pamphlet filled with hints about how to remove clothing stains, and it is a must for every household. Just send $5 for Heloiseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Handy Stain Guide for Clothing. Send a long, self-addressed, stamped (66 cents) envelope to: Heloise/Stain, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-5001. If you added too much detergent and suds start bubbling over, just sprinkle plain olâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; table salt on the suds, and poof, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re gone. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Heloise

TODAY IN HISTORY (AP) — Today is Saturday, March 16, the 75th day of 2013. There are 290 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight : On March 16, 1968, during the Vietnam War, the My Lai (mee ly) Massacre of Vietnamese civilians was carried out by U.S. Army troops; estimates of the death toll vary between 347 and 504. On this date: In 1521, Portuguese navigator Ferdinand Magellan reached the Philippines, where he was killed by natives the following month. In 1802, President Thomas Jefferson signed a measure authorizing the establishment of the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, N.Y. In 1850, Nathaniel

Hawthorne’s novel “The Scarlet Letter” was first published. In 1926, rocket science pioneer Robert H. Goddard successfully tested the first liquidfueled rocket, in Auburn, Mass. In 1935, Adolf Hitler decided to break the military terms set by the Treaty of Versailles by ordering the rearming of Germany. In 1972, in a nationally broadcast address, President Richard M. Nixon called for a moratorium on court-ordered school busing to achieve racial desegregation. In 1988, Protestant extremist Michael Stone launched a oneman gun-and-grenade attack on an Irish Republican Army funeral at Milltown Cemetery in Belfast, Northern Ireland, killing three of the mourners.

Ten years ago: Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein warned that if Iraq were attacked, it would take the war anywhere in the world “wherever there is sky, land or water.” President George W. Bush gave the United Nations one more day to find a diplomatic solution to the standoff. Five years ago: Protests spread from Tibet into three neighboring provinces; the Dalai Lama decried what he called the “cultural genocide” taking place in his homeland and called for an international investigation into China’s crackdown on demonstrators. Today’s Birthdays: Comedian-director Jerry Lewis is 87. Game show host Chuck Woolery is 72. Rapper-actor Flavor Flav (Public Enemy) is 54.

Air traffic tower closures will strip safety net

AP PHOTO/SETH PERLMAN

In this March 11 photo, Mark Hanna, director of the Abraham Lincoln Capital Airport in Springfield, Ill., talks about the possible closing of the air traffic control tower behind him and nearly 240 more around the country under federal budget cuts. Airport directors and pilots are concerned that eliminating a second pair of eyes on the ground will increase risk throughout the American air-transport system, the world’s safest. of the airports in question are serviced by major airlines, and the cuts could also leave towers unmanned during

overnight hours at some big-city airports such as Chicago’s Midway and General Mitchell Airport in Milwaukee. The plans have

prompted airlines to review whether the changes might pose problems for commercial service that could mean canceling or rescheduling flights. Without the help of controllers, risk “goes up exponentially,” said Mark Hanna, director of the Abraham Lincoln Capital Airport in Springfield, Ill., which could see its tower close. As part of the spending cuts that went into effect this month, the Federal Aviation Administration is being forced to trim $637 million for the rest of the fiscal year that ends Sept. 30. The agency said it had no choice but to subject most of its 47,000 employees, including tower controllers, to periodic furloughs. Representatives of the FAA declined to discuss the effect of the cuts with The

Associated Press. In two recent speeches and testimony before Congress, FAA Administrator Michael Huerta stressed that safety remained the agency’s top priority. But many in the aviation sector are frustrated that the political brinkmanship in Washington has affected such a sensitive area of aviation. Jim Montman, manager of the Santa Fe Municipal Airport, which is on the list for tower closures, said the absence of controllers raises the risk of midair collisions “or some sort of incident where somebody lands on the wrong runway. … That critical link is gone.” Hundreds of small airports around the country routinely operate without controllers, using procedures in place since the earliest days of aviation.

Pilots are trained to watch for other aircraft and announce their position over the radio during approaches, landings and takeoffs. But past crashes, however rare, have exposed weaknesses in that system. On Nov. 19, 1996, a 19seat United Express flight landing in Quincy, Ill., collided with another twinengine turboprop that was taking off. They slammed into each other at the intersection of two runways, killing all 14 people aboard the two planes. The National Transportation Safety Board concluded the probable cause was a failure of the pilots in the outbound flight to monitor the radio frequency for air traffic and to properly scan for other planes. “If a tower was there, it’s highly likely that that accident would have been prevented,” said Hanna, who became director of the Quincy airport about two years after the crash and before moving to the job in Springfield. The air traffic control facilities that could be closed were chosen because they are at airports with fewer than 150,000 flight operations per year. They are located in nearly every state. The first round of closures is expected to target 173 of those towers that are run by third-party contractors, rather than FAA staff. That process could start early next month.

CHICAGO (AP) — The planned shutdown of up to 238 air traffic control towers across the country under federal budget cuts will strip away an extra layer of safety during takeoffs and landings, leaving pilots to manage the most critical stages of flight on their own. The towers slated to close are at smaller airports with lighter traffic, and all pilots are trained to land without help by communicating among themselves on a common radio frequency. But airport directors and pilots say there is little doubt the removal of that second pair of eyes on the ground increases risk and will slow the progress that has made the U.S. air system the safest in the world. It’s not just private pilots in small planes who stand to be affected. Many
