Inside the conclave:
Extra omnes to habemus papam BY RACHEL ZOLL The Associated Press VATICAN CITY (AP) — Three rounds of ballots had been cast with no winner, but it was becoming clear which way this conclave was headed. When the cardinals broke for lunch, Sean O’Malley of Boston sat down next to his Argentine friend, Jorge Bergoglio. “He seemed very weighed down by what was happening,” O’Malley said. Hours later, the Buenos Aires archbishop would step before the frenzied masses packed into St. Peter’s Square as Francis, the first pope from the Americas. Cardinals take an oath of secrecy when they enter a conclave, promising never to reveal what goes on inside. But as is customary, the cardinals involved share memories of their experience. How it began It began Tuesday afternoon with a procession. See CONCLAVE/Page 5
Local priests reflect on selection of new pope BY PATRICIA ANN SPEELMAN pspeelman@civitasmedia.com The Rev. Pat Sloneker, the pastor of Immaculate Conception Catholic Church in Botkins, had an appointment in his office late Wednesday afternoon when he heard the Sloneker s t a f f screaming in the outer office. “I knew either the place was being robbed or we had a new pope,” he laughed. Sloneker joins his fellow Catholic pastors from the

tiff’s humility. “I’m happy with the election,” said Shoup. “I think he’s going to be a very pastoral pope.” “When he came out on the balcony — seeing his humility was very refreshing,” Tonkin said. The pope began his reign by asking his audience to bless him. The local priests See PRIESTS/Page 11

PUBLIC RECORD
Sidney Daily News, Friday, March 15, 2013
Man shot after making threats a weapon, and shots were fired. The man suffered what was believed to be non-life threatening injuries and was taken to Joint Township District Memorial Hospital. A St. Marys Police Department officer and Auglaize County Sheriff’s Office deputy are an administrative leave pending the results of an investigation, which is standard procedure when shots are fired. The police and sheriff ’s office will not release the names of the
suspect or officers or other details “to protect the integrity of the case,” according to the news release. The Ohio Bureau of Criminal Identification and Investigation will handle the investigation because of the involvement of St. Marys police officers and Auglaize County deputies. The Ohio State Highway Patrol, New Bremen Police Department and Wapakoneta Police Department assisted at the scene.
CHIEF Robert L. Yawn, captain with Osceola (Florida) Sheriff’s Office. Cundiff said the process of selecting a new police chief will be similar the one used when Gessler was hired in 2009 to replace retiring Chief Steve Wearly. A committee made up of Cundiff, Gessler, Assistant City Manager Gary Clough, Human Resource Director Vicki Allen, Human Resource Coordinator Kelly Holthaus and Councilman Tom Miller
From Page 1 will trim the field to about seven or eight candidates to be brought in for a first interview. From that group, the field will be narrowed to three to five candidates for a second interview before a final selection is made. The city has contracted with Chad Legel of Selection Works, a Chicago-area company, to assist in the screening process. Cundiff said Legel was the consultant for the police chief selection process in 2009. He
said Legel sets up reallife scenarios for candidates to see how they react to certain situations during the assessment process. The city will pay $11,880 for Select Works’ services. Cundiff said the finalists will meet with city department heads and police command staff, as well as a “meet and greet” with city council members. The Civil Service Commission will then meet to review the assessment
scores and other information before preparing a list of the final three candidates. Cundiff will then select the prospective police from the three finalists and make an offer to that candidate. Cundiff said it is hoped a new chief will be hired by the end of May. He noted that if everything goes well, the new candidate would be on the job before Gessler leaves so there would be a short overlap period.

Festival canceled DAYTON (AP) — Air Force officials in southwest Ohio say a festival that draws tens of thousands of people has been canceled due to funding limits prompted by the automatic defense budget cuts. Officials at WrightPatterson Air Force Base near Dayton say the Freedom’s Call Tattoo festival scheduled for June 28 won’t be held this year. The event that includes flyovers, music and fireworks is held annually on the grounds of the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force at the base. Officials say rules resulting from the budget cuts restrict the use of tax dollars for such things as military air shows, open houses and similar events. The spending cuts that went into effect March 1 also threaten to ground aircraft and furlough many of the base’s civilian employees.

Lifting the veil on store brands BY CANDICE CHOI The Associated Press NEW YORK (AP) — Supermarkets including Kroger, Safeway and Whole Foods are improving the image of their store brands with better packaging and more distinctive offerings. But where exactly do these products come from? It’s a question a growing number of people may have as retailers increasingly develop their store brands as a way to cultivate loyalty among shoppers. Safeway, for example, offers versions of Doritos, Cheetos and other salty snacks. But rather than merely imitating the look of their big-name counterparts, the “Snack Artist” line comes in distinctive, earth-tone bags made to look more like a premium brand. The Safeway logo appears only a small strip at the bottom. “In many cases, people are buying some of our brands and think it’s a national brand,” said Diane Dietz, chief marketing officer for Safeway. The rise of store brands — known in the industry as “privatelabel” products — became apparent last year when ConAgra Foods Inc. said it was buying Ralcorp Holdings Inc. Although it’s not a household name, Ralcorp makes pasta, granola bars and other foods for a wide array of retailers. ConAgra executives note that there’s still plenty of room for with store growth, brands representing just 18 percent of packaged foods in the U.S., compared with 36 percent in the United Kingdom and 44 percent in the Netherlands. So as store brands get more attention, here’s a look at what’s behind the packaging. Who makes them? To maintain the image of their store brands, supermarkets like to keep the origins a mystery. One reason Whole Foods doesn’t reveal the suppliers for its in-house “365 Everyday Value” products is that it may be carrying other branded products made by the same companies, said Brianna Blanton, who manages store brands for the organic grocer. For a shopper, tracking down which company made a particular product can also be challenging because the store-brand industry is fragmented. Supermarkets often work with a network hundreds of suppliers to produce their store brands. These include national name-brand companies that make store
Refund delays CLEVELAND (AP) — A tax-preparation glitch could delay the returns of an estimated 30,000 Ohioans by up to six weeks. The (Cleveland) Plain Dealer reported the estimated number of affected Ohioans on Thursday. The Internal Revenue Service said Wednesday that the glitch will affect about 660,000 tax returns nationwide
brands on the side as well as businesses that specialize in making store brands. The store-brand specialists often focus on certain product categories as well, said Mike Minasi, Safeway’s president of advertising and marketing. Overhill Farms, a company based in Vernon, Calif., for example, is known for making frozen foods, he said. And not all store brands are made by outside companies. Kroger, for instance, has 37 plants that churn out about 40 percent of its store brands. Safeway also makes some of its own brands. Are they really any different? Everyone knows store are usually brands cheaper. But they have also grown because they offer something new, or make an improvement on better-known products. One way Whole Foods differentiates its “365 Everyday Value” products is by examining nutritional stats. In many cases, a registered dietitian on staff works with the grocer’s suppliers to see if there are ways to lower sodium or fat content. Stores are pushing to offer more distinctive products. So the process for developing new storebrand items has gotten more sophisticated and mirrors how name-brand products are conceived and marketed, said Jesse Spungin, general manager for ConAgra’s store brands business. Nevertheless, people may wonder how unique some store-brand products can be when they’re made in factories that churn out other storebrand or name-brand products. Sometimes, the difference is really just cosmetic. To ensure efficiency in production lines, for instance, ConAgra CEO Gary Rodkin says the company pushes “differentiation as far downstream as possible.” For some product lines, he said there are no changes made until the very end, when a different seasoning or packaging is applied. Pantry staples such as saltines are less likely to have significant differences as well, because people expect certain qualities for such products. There’s also less room for variation with products that only have a few ingredients. “There aren’t a lot of changes you can make to a can of low sodium black beans,” said Blanton of Whole Foods. ——— Follow Candice Choi at www.twitter.com/candicechoi

Finally a graduate With friends and family watching, Reba Williams, 106, receives her high school diploma from Mount Vernon Schools Superintendent Steve Short at her home in Columbus on Wednesday. Williams said she completed high school in Ohio but was denied her diploma because she refused to read a final book assigned by a teacher. She'd read it once and didn’t want to read it again. The Mount Vernon Board of Education approved issuing Williams’ diploma earlier this month. A retired English teacher had approached the board about giving Williams the diploma after reading about her earlier this year. Williams says she hopes current students realize that learning is important.
Democrats push for answers on JobsOhio funding COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Two Democrats said Thursday they plan to ask a state legislative committee to force leaders of the job creation nonprofit JobsOhio to appear before the panel to address questions over its financing. State Reps. John Carney and Denise Driehaus told reporters they will call for a vote by the House Finance Appropriations and Committee to subpoena the entity to speak publicly about how it has used millions of dollars. “These are public dollars, this is a public-private partnership, and we want you to come in and testify,” Driehaus said. Republican Gov. John Kasich and the Legislature created JobsOhio to attract jobs to the state and keep them. Economic development duties from a state government department, now called the Development Services Agency, were shifted to the private nonprofit, which is not subject to the same oversight. Democrats have criticized JobsOhio since its creation in 2011 for its lack of transparency. And JobsOhio’s ability as a private entity to manage taxpayer dollars under Ohio’s Constitution is the subject of an ongoing legal challenge joined by liberal and conservative groups. But questions over JobsOhio’s funding have mounted after the state’s Republican auditor issued a subpoena last week seeking access to its private financial books. Auditor Dave Yost has given JobsOhio Chief Financial Officer Kevin Giangola until Tuesday to produce the records after JobsOhio declined to volunteer them. He has asked for financial statements, spending and
revenue ledgers, salary and benefits payments and other documents — or an explanation for withholding them. Yost says he has the right to audit the public and private funds flowing through the publicprivate partnership, though the administration and Republican leaders who control the Legislature think otherwise. Yost has said he wants to make sure JobsOhio’s money “is working for the people of Ohio — creating jobs and growing this economy for our families.” He says there’s no
confusion over his authority to audit JobsOhio, which recently went to market with a $1.5 billion bond offering backed by proceeds from its rights to the state’s liquor business for the next 25 years. JobsOhio spokeswoman Laura Jones said the entity welcomes the auditor’s review of its public funds. “We recognize having him review all public funds that DSA (the Development Services Agency) has provided to JobsOhio is appropriate, and we look forward to working with him in that effort,” Jones said.
COLUMBUS (AP) — A member of Ohio’s state school board has died a day after casting a vote in the high-profile selection of a new state superintendent. Jeff Hardin, 58, died of a heart attack Wednesday. Hardin was first elected to the 19member board that sets policy for Ohio’s public schools in 2008. On Tuesday, he had cast a vote that helped elect Richard Ross as Ohio’s next public schools chief. Ross is a top education adviser to Republican Gov. John Kasich (KAY’-sik). Ohio law gives Kasich 30 days to fill Hardin’s vacancy. His replacement would have to run for the post in November 2014. Funeral services for Hardin are scheduled for Monday in Batavia. He will be buried in Hubbard the next day.

OUT OF THE BLUE Newborn speeds into officer’s arms IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — An Iowa City police officer pulled over a speeding SUV — then helped the driver and his passenger deliver a baby. When Officer Kevin Wolfe stopped the vehicle Sunday night, the driver jumped out and yelled, “Sir, we’re delivering a baby right here, right now!” Wolfe tells Cedar Rapids TV station KCRG that by the time he reached the passenger door of the SUV, the baby’s head and arms were already out. He assisted in the final stages of the delivery and wrapped the child in a blanket before escorting the family to a hospital. The episode was captured by Wolfe’s dashboard camera. Police spokeswoman Vicki Lalla says Wolfe didn’t issue a speeding ticket and so did not take down the parents’ names.

Senate GOP tells Obama to tone down the attacks WASHINGTON (AP) — Polite yet firm, Senate Republicans told President Barack Obama on Thursday to tone down his political attacks and prod Democratic allies to support controversial changes in Medicare if he wants a compromise reducing deficits and providing stability to federal benefit programs. Participants at a 90-minute closed-door meeting said Obama acknowledged the point without yielding ground — and noted that Republicans criticize him freely. “To quote an old Chicago politician, ‘Politics ain’t beanbag,’” the president said. The discussion came as Obama wrapped up a highly publicized round of meetings with rank-and-file lawmakers
in both parties and both houses of Congress in hopes of building support for a second-term agenda of deficit reduction, immigration overhaul and gun control. Obama met separately with Senate Republicans and House Democrats as legislation to lock in $85 billion in spending cuts and avert a government shutdown on March 27 made plodding progress. Separately the two parties advanced rival longer-term budgets in both houses. No breakthroughs had been anticipated and none was reported in the closed-door sessions, although Obama told reporters before returning to the White House, “We’re making progress.”
In the Senate, several Republicans told the president his rhetoric was not conducive to compromise. Sen. John Thune of South Dakota referred to a recent interview in which Obama said some Republicans want to eviscerate Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. “Nobody here believes those programs ought to be gutted,” Thune told Obama, the senator later recalled. “It’s better if the president is here fully engaged with us than traveling around the country saying Congress isn’t doing its job,” Sen. John Barrasso of Wyoming later told reporters, summarizing comments he and others had made. “The president needs to be here working side by side with Congress.”
Physicists find a Higgs boson GENEVA (AP) — It helps solve one of the most fundamental riddles of the universe: how the Big Bang created something out of nothing 13.7 billion years ago. In what could go down as one of the great Eureka! moments in physics — and win somebody the Nobel Prize — scientists said Thursday that after a half-century quest, they are confident they have found a Higgs boson, the elusive subatomic speck sometimes called the “God particle.” The existence of the particle was theorized in
1964 by the British physicist Peter Higgs to explain why matter has mass. Scientists believe the particle acts like molasses or snow: When other tiny basic building blocks pass through it, they stick together, slow down and form atoms. Scientists at CERN, the Geneva-based European Organization for Nuclear Research, announced in July that they had found something that looked like the Higgs boson, but they weren’t certain, and they needed to go through the data and rule out the possibility it wasn’t something else.
CONCLAVE Reciting a hypnotic Gregorian chant, the 115 princes of the church, dressed in red robes over white lace tunics, filed two by two into the frescoed masterpiece that is the Sistine Chapel and took their seats at four rows of tables. One used a wheelchair and was helped to his place by his colleagues. Then each man moved to the front and took an oath not to reveal what was about to occur: “we promise and swear not to break this secret in any way, either during or after the election of the new pontiff.” With a cry of “extra omnes” — “all out” — the massive double doors swung shut, the key was turned and the conclave was under way. Saying it twice No matter how beautiful the chapel, Chicago Cardinal Francis George said, the acoustics aren’t great. The presiding cardinal, Giovanni Battista Re, had to explain each step in the ritual twice, once to each side of the room. Other than that, there was only silence. “The conclave is a very prayerful experience,” O’Malley said. “It’s like a retreat.” Each man wrote a few words in Latin on a piece of paper: “I elect as supreme pontiff…” followed by a name. One by one, they held the paper aloft, placed it on a gold-and-silver saucer at the front of the room, and tipped it into an urn. And then the tallying began, with three cardinals — known as scrutineers — reading out the name on each slip. When they finished counting, it was clear the field remained wide open, said Cardinal Sean Brady, leader of the church in Ireland. “There were a number of candidates,” he said. A cardinal threaded the ballots together and put them in a stove. Outside in St. Peter’s Square, as black smoke billowed from the chimney, the cheering crowd fell silent and began to thin. Ritual repeated On Wednesday morning, the cardinals
VATICAN CITY (AP) — On his first day as shepherd of the world’s 1.2 billion Catholics, Pope Francis picked up his luggage at a Vatican hotel, personally thanked each member of the staff and even paid his own bill. Then, at his first Mass, he delivered a short, unscripted homily — in Italian, not the Latin of his predecessor — holding the cardinals who elected him responsible for keeping the church strong. Pope for barely 12 hours, Francis brushed off years of tradition and formality Thursday with a remarkable break in style that sent a clear message that his papacy is poised to reject many of the trappings enjoyed by now-retired Benedict XVI. That was hardly out of character for Francis. For years, as Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio, the Argentine pastor took the bus to work, kissed the feet of AIDS patients and prayed with former prostitutes, eschewing the luxurious residence that would have been his due as archbishop of Buenos Aires. But now he is pope — the first from the New World and the first Jesuit — and his style both personal and liturgical is in a global spotlight. On his first day, he couldn’t have signaled a greater contrast to Benedict, the German academic who was meek and generous in person but formal and traditional in public. The differences played out Thursday in the Sistine Chapel as the 76-year-old Francis celebrated his first public Mass as pope. Whereas Benedict read a three-page discourse in Latin, Francis had a far simpler message. Speaking off-thecuff for 10 minutes in easy Italian, he said all Catholics must “build” the church and “walk” with the faith. He urged priests to build their churches on solid foundations, warning: “What happens when children build sand castles on the beach? It all comes down.” “If we don’t proclaim Jesus, we become a pitiful NGO, not the bride of the Lord,” he said.
From Page 1 filed in again and repeated the ritual of voting. Each man filled out his ballot and walked to the front of the room. “When you walk up with the ballot in your hand and stand before the image of the Last Judgment, that is a great responsibility,” O’Malley said. There were two votes before lunch, and the field was narrowing. But the smoke was black again, and the crowd was again disappointed. This time, however, they didn’t leave the square. He was somber At lunch, O’Malley sat down besides Bergoglio. “He is very approachable, very friendly,” he said. “He has a good sense of humor, he is very quick and a joy to be with.” But with the vote going his way, Bergoglio was uncharacteristically somber. Almost there In the first afternoon ballot, the cardinals were getting close to a decision. But not quite. They started over, and the scrutineers read out the names. And it began to dawn on the men that their work was done. “It was very moving as the names were sounding out,” Brady said. “Bergoglio, Bergoglio, and suddenly the magic number of 77 was reached.” The cardinals applauded at 77, and again once the tally was complete. “I don’t think there was a dry eye in the house,” said Cardinal Timothy Dolan of New York. Will you accept? A cardinal asked Bergoglio whether he accepted the papacy. “I am a sinner, but as this office has been given to me, I accept,” he said, according to three French cardinals. Bergoglio announced the name he would assume — Francis — and went to change into the papal robes in the Room of the Tears, so named because many have wept at the enormity of the task they face. When Francis returned to the chapel, “his first action was to go to a cardinal in
a wheelchair and go to the back of the chapel to greet him,” Brady said. Aides brought in a platform with a white chair for Francis to sit on as the cardinals came one by one to pay their respects. The pope declined, Dolan said. “He met with us on our own level,” Dolan said. Dolan said he felt a strange emotion as he kissed the pope’s ring. “It’s very difficult to explain,” Dolan said. “You obviously get to know your brother cardinal. But all of a sudden the identity is different.” Facing the public It was time to face the public. More than 100,000 people had jammed into the square, and Francis prepared to greet them from the balcony. Vatican workers lined up to shake his hand, but Francis was worried about a delay, Dolan said. There were too many people outside waiting in the rain, and he didn’t want to keep them. As Francis stepped out on the balcony, cardinals rushed to the windows to look out over the crowd. It was nighttime, and George expected a “sea of umbrellas.” Instead, he saw flashing lights of cameras across the square. “It looked like jewels,” George said. The crowd jumped up and down, poking umbrellas in the air. Strangers embraced. He took a bus After the address, a car came to take the new pope to dinner, and buses for the rest of the cardinals. The car returned empty. “As the last bus pulls up, guess who walked out,” Dolan said. Francis had dinner with the others. They toasted him, “then he toasted us and said, ‘May God forgive you for what you’ve done,’” Dolan said. By the time the night was over, cardinals said, the new pope seemed comfortable in his new robes. “Last night, I think there was a peace in his heart,” O’Malley said, “that God’s will had been accomplished in his life.”

HAPPY HOUR Dear Heloise: How do you tip during happy hour? The food and drinks are at a discounted price, but my server did the same job. Do I tip at the discounted price or regular price? — Tom in Des Moines, Iowa Tip at the regular price. The server is doing the same job of bringing you food and drinks. Trust me, servers do not get paid much per hour! Another tip about tipping: I always tip more for breakfast. It’s usually the cheapest meal of the day, but the server is still doing the same work, if not more! — Heloise

She said many people are planning St. Patrick’s Day parties, a tradition she thinks is tied to the time of the year the holiday occurs. “I think it’s more the change of the season,” Stoner said, remarking that people are celebrating the coming of spring. Another business seeing a strong sales of St. Patrick’s goods is the Sidney Kroger store. Keith Monroe, Kroger comanager, said his store has a variety of St. Patrick’s Day items, including hats, necklaces and other party goods.

HERKIMER, N.Y. (AP) — The man killed by police after a shooting rampage that left four people dead was a mystery in a small town, a stranger to his neighbors and a man of few words, even at a bar where he regularly drank Coors Light and listened to, but never sang, karaoke. A former boss who worked with gunman Kurt Myers for 20 years described him as a quiet and nervous but intelligent and congenial man who was a fan of World War II trivia — though a recent encounter with his old employee left him unsettled. Steve Copperwheat, who hired Myers as a machine operator in the early 1980s at Waterbury Felt, a manufacturer of industrial textiles, said he encountered him in a Wal-Mart parking lot three months ago after not seeing him in about 10 years. “I yelled over to him and he looked at me, said my name, said he was retired, and just went booking away,� Copperwheat said. “It was almost like he didn’t want anybody to know where he was.
No action taken during H-H session HOUSTON - The Hardin-Houston Board of Education met in executive session Wednesday night, but no action was taken at the meeting. Superintendent Larry Claypool said the board discussed several personnel issues, including compensation, possible disciplinary action, placement of staff and hiring. He said he couldn’t

were impressed by that act. “I felt it very personally when he asked for blessing,� Tonkin said, “and he actually bowed to receive their blessing. It showed his solidarity with the lay faithful and that he’s not just looking for power. It means a lot, not just for Catholics, but for Christians of all faiths, because they do see him as a moral compass.� “Seeing him pray said a whole lot about who he is and how he’ll lead,� Schmitmeyer said. The pastors also noted that Pope Francis’s affiliation with the Jesuits will have important ramifications for the church he has been elected to lead. “I’m happy he’s a religious order man,� Nieberding said. “It means he’s supported by his own group he grew up with. A diocesan priest is more independent. So a priest in an order has more support personally.� Sloneker has high expectations because, as a Jesuit, the pontiff has had a more rigorous religious education than some other cardinals. The local church leaders also agreed that having a Latin American as the head of the Catholic church is the right move for the time.

comment on whether the board discussed the Jim Gooding case. Gooding, the school’s athletic director, is on administrative leave after allegations were made of inappropriate behavior with a student. The Shelby County Sheriff’s Office completed its investigation this week and will not be filing criminal charges against Gooding.

“Africa and South America have provided a lot of growth (for Catholicism), so it was a natural progression to select him,� Schmitmeyer said. Sloneker received a call Wednesday from one of his parishoners who is originally from Puerto Rico. “She was very joyful,� he said. “I think it’s good to have a pope who represents where the bulk of Catholics are,� Nieberding said. According to Shoup, 40 percent of Catholics live in South America. “So it’s great (to have a pope from there),� he said. Of the many well publicized issues facing Catholicism today, unity in the church and recalling lapsed church members are the issues the Sidney-area pastors would like to see the pontiff tackle first. “I think the hallmark will be rebuilding the church, rebuilding the faith, especially in Europe. We need to have a new evangelism of faith,� Tonkin said. Shoup sees the pontiff ’s choice of name, Francis, as saying something about his future ministry as the holy father. It will be important to call everyone together, respecting the differences among members of a
worldwide church, Schmitmeyer said. It was Sloneker who noted that there are too many people who are not as connected to the church as they used to be. “They say the largest denomination in America is Catholics,� he said. “And the second largest is Catholics who are separated from the church. I see that as very keen, the Catholics who feel separated from the church by divorce or those who feel harshly judged by the church.� Schmitmeyer, however, believes that there will be no big changes right away. “The church moves very slowly because we move at the will of the Holy Spirit. I’m going to think he’ll spend a lot of time in prayer,� he said. Pope Francis’s history of consideration for people living in poverty speaks loudly to these priests. Every one of them mentioned it and Sloneker compared him to the church’s highest ruler. “He resembles Jesus in a special way, in his simplicity and his love and care for the poor,� Sloneker said. “Jesus was a friend to the poor and neighbor to the oppressed. You can’t go wrong with that.�
Edison plans new student orientation program PIQUA — For the first time, Edison Community College will pair course registration with new student orientation. Edison’s Student Affairs Division has dubbed this success initiative “Navigating Edison.� The first orientation event will be held Monday at the Piqua main campus to coincide with the start of summer registration. Summer classes begin June 3. Orientations will be held each week through the start of the fall semester. Fall registration for new students opens April 15 and classes begin Aug. 26. “Prepared students are successful students. Edison is investing in student preparation like never before,� said Maggie Sykes, dean of student success. Students will attend orientation
after first applying to Edison and meeting with a Success Adviser to discuss their educational or career goals. “This Student Educational Plan will map out the student’s coursework through at least their first year of college,� Sykes said. At orientation, students will experience “Edison 101,� which provides an overview of what you need to know to succeed in college. Students will also learn how to utilize Edison’s electronic resources, self-register, and access staff for assistance and direction. Teresa Roth, director of admissions, envisions a fun, interactive and energy-filled event. “We’re rolling out the red carpet and serving up the best Edison has to offer,� she said. “Be as-
sured that everyone in Student Affairs is involved with ensuring the success of this initiative, and ultimately, the success of our students.� The Ohio Association of Community Colleges (OACC) recommends orientation for all firsttime college students. Only degree- and certificate-seeking students will be required to attend orientation. Restudents, turning transient students, and students transferring in more than 15 semester hours and a minimum 2.0 grade-point average are exempt from orientation. They are, however, welcome and encouraged to attend orientation. For more information about how this initiative will impact prospective students, call Roth at (937) 778-7983.

HOROSCOPE BY FRANCES DRAKE For Saturday, March 16, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) This is a better day for business and commerce, especially the morning and early in the afternoon. You might want to buy something for yourself and loved ones. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) The Moon is still in your sign today, which might make you a bit more emotional than usual. However, it also tends to bring you a bit of good luck. Yay! GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Keep a low profile if you can today, because that’s how you will feel best. Being too much in the public eye can be tiring and even daunting. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Continue to schmooze with others because your interest in learning something different and exploring new territory is very strong now. Some of you might become romantically involved with someone from another culture. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) You definitely can benefit from the wealth and resources of others now. Keep your pockets open, and be receptive to what others say. You deserve whatever comes your way. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Remember to get more sleep now, because so many planets are opposite your sign. This kind of energy is not supportive, instead it is combative. Ouch. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Work hard to get better organized because this will please you. More than any other sign, you are very affected by your immediate environment. Declutter! SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) This is such a playful time for you. Enjoy your focus on partners and close friends, because the promise of new romance is in the air. (Would I kid you?) SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Home-decorating projects intrigue you now. Continue with plans for renovations and improvements, but be patient with family members. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) This is not the time to stay at home. Au contraire! You’re on the go, and your daily pace is accelerating. (Plus, you’re talking to everyone.) AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Focus on earnings, cash flow and major purchases now. Today you might rest at home and ponder how you want to better handle your money scene. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Five planets are in your sign now, which is most unusual! The entire world is having a Pisces hit, if you will. Things will go in your favor easily now. YOU BORN TODAY You’re an interesting combination of someone who is practical yet imaginative, even whimsical. This serves you well when working in the arts. People see you as confident and self-assured, and in large measure, you are. You’re clever at assimilating the best of many things into one. You will study or learn something valuable this year that will help you in your future.

March 15, 1913 Word comes from the Quincy oil field that the town gas well upon which the Consumer Oil and Refining Co. has been doing some work recently, is making a better showing of oil than was at first expected. Several barrels of oil have already been taken out and the well is still half full. The oil is of splendid quality and the quantity above expectations. Several of our Sidney citizens were over to Quincy last week and reported they were well pleased with the outlook. ——— Residents on the north end of Ohio Avenue have been making complaints about the number of dogs in their that neighborhood gather on their lawns and run after their chickens. ——— Two young fellows from Dayton were locked up yesterday afternoon charged with stealing billiard balls at the White Front and at the Elk Café. They will be arraigned before the mayor this afternoon.
blood pressure, so the kidneys respond by increasing renin, which begins a cascade that increases the blood pressure. Another rare cause is a pheochromocytoma, a benign tumor of the adrenal gland, which I mentioned a week or two ago. It secretes epinephrine (adrenaline) and causes high blood pressure and fast heart rate. If you have had every test, your doctor would have looked for these causes, but a pheochromocytoma can be missed. I see many cases of sleep apnea causing difficult-tocontrol high blood pressure, and even a petite woman can have sleep apnea, even though we think of it more commonly in the overweight. There are experts in managing high blood pressure, and this sounds like a time to consult one if you haven’t already. I can’t suggest a medicine without knowing a lot more, and that is what a hypertension specialist
would do. DEAR DR. ROACH: If I walk three miles, six days a week, do I get as much value out of taking my trike out for the same time and the same route? — M.G. ANSWER: Bicycles are more efficient than walking, so you will burn less calories biking the same distance on a bike than walking. I don’t know about trikes — I suspect they would give about the same benefit as biking. I recommend doing both — walk one day, trike another. Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible.

March 15, 1938 A petition to place the John Wagner Co. of Sidney, in federal court under section 77b of the Federal Bankruptcy Act was filed in U.S. District Court in Dayton today. The petition was filed by three out-of-state firms, after a receiver had been appointed by the Shelby County Common Pleas Court. ——— Anna Community Grange held their third birthday meeting on Tuesday at the Anna school house. The fair display score card was discussed and new captains appointed for the degree teams. Mr. Augustine was named to captain the first and second degree team and Mr. Duckworth will lead the third and fourth degree teams. ——— The county commissioners have reappointed John C. Stangel as a member of the board of trustees for the Chil-
dren’s Home for a term of five years.
50 years March 15, 1963 Leonhart, Robert Greenville, vocational agriculture teacher in Versailles for the past eight years, ended his career here Friday. Leonhart has accepted a position as sales representative of nine southwestern Ohio counties for Urbana Mills Co. The family will move to Xenia. ——— HOUSTON – The Houston Improvement Association was organized at a meeting here this week of interested citizens of the Houstoncommunity. Dawson Ways and means of carrying out projects to improve the community were discussed. Officers were elected with Richard Roeth being named as president. Donald Meyer was chosen secretary and Charles Durnell, treasurer.
25 years March 15, 1988 Jackson Center has a new restaurant. John and Jo Harman has opened up the new eatery and named it The Family Table. It replaces the old restaurant called Bob and Ann’s Place. The address is of course 115 E. Pike St. Stop on in. ——— Emerson Englehaupt is known for being a local realtor for many years. He is now gaining a reputation as a peacock farmer. He and his wife Rosella have raised the birds for 12 years. They describe peacocks as “ornery and tough.” They are also difficult to breed. They are also quite the pests. Peacocks have been eating their vegetables and fruits with some frequency.

You propriate for me to turn and your sorority sisters around and say some- should — as a group — thing, or was it better to bring this to the attention
of the dean because you are a minority on that campus and the boys apparently haven’t learned to function in an integrated environment. DEAR ABBY: Can a sexless marriage last? My wife and I have been married for 17 years and our sex life has been slowing for a long time. We have sex less than 10 times a year. We get along great and are the best of friends. My wife is attractive and fun to be with, and I don’t know what happened to us. What causes women to lose their sex drive? (Then they wonder why their husbands have affairs.)
My wife is in good health. There are no medical issues. We are more friends than lovers. I don’t think she’s involved with anyone else. I want a fun, active sex life, but I don’t want to upset her or lose the closeness we have. It’s just that I’m watching our sex life evaporate. Please help. — MIKE IN MISSOURI DEAR MIKE: As women age, their hormone levels decrease, which can cause the sex drive to diminish. The reduced hormone levels can also make sex painful. If your wife would discuss these changes with her gynecologist or an endocrinologist, there may be a solution that would
put some spark back in your marriage. However, that won’t happen unless you are able to speak frankly with her about what’s bothering you. DEAR ABBY: I have been studying my whole life to become a classical singer. Many people have put great effort into helping me to succeed, especially my mother, who wanted to be an opera singer when she was my age. She is not a pushy stage mother, though. I chose to pursue music myself. However, I have recently realized my heart is not fully in it and that I’d rather go to law school. I’m afraid to tell my mother and the
other people about my decision because they have invested so much in me as a performer. I don’t want to disappoint them, but my passion is now constitutional law. How do I share the news without breaking my mother’s heart? — SINGING A DIFFERENT TUNE DEAR SINGING: Your mother may be disappointed, but her heart will heal. If your passion is not in opera singing, the truth is you won’t go very far in the field. (Even people who are passionate about it don’t always succeed.) Wanting to be a lawyer is nothing to be ashamed of. Follow your dream.

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. If you have questions regarding scams like these or others, please contact the Ohio Attorney General’s office at (800)282-0515.

Rockets to face Africentric for state title BY KEN BARHORST kbarhorst@sdnccg.com COLUMBUS — It appeared that Orrville’s plan against the Anna Lady Rockets in the Division III state girls basketball semifinals was to just try and outscore them. Bad idea. Anna took advantage of a defense-less Orrville team to shoot 65 percent from the field, including 74 percent in the second half, to breeze to a surprisingly easy 80-59 rout before 5,000 fans at the Schottenstein Center Thursday. The win puts the Lady Rockets in the state championship game for the third year in a row, and they will take the court Saturday morning at 10:45 against a familiar foe — Columbus Africentric, which barely survived its semifinal against Fort Frye. Were it not for Africentric, Anna, now 25-4, would be going for its third straight DIII state championship Saturday. The Lady Nubians won in overtime last season. Orrville came into the game with one of the state’s best in Hannah Plybon, averaging 24 points a game and coming off a 42-point performance in the regional finals. She was as good as advertised, at least early on. But she had trouble finishing around the bucket and missed some free throws in the first half. She finished with 28, but many of those came after Anna had clearly established itself as the best team on the floor. “We took turns guarding her,” said Anna coach Jack Billing. “We started out with Erica (Huber) on her but she picked up two quick fouls. So
the half. Orrville made a little bit of noise to start the third quarter, but Billing’s bucket after a Plybon miss in close made it 58-41, and Huber’s breakaway made it 64-44 with 2:02 remaining in the period. It was 66-48 heading to the final period. “I didn’t think they would be able to do that,” said Orrville head coach Mark Alberts. “Get that many points in transition. So my hat’s off to them. They broke our press a lot better than I thought they would.” Anna finished 33-for-51 from the field for 64.7 percent and hit 14-for-23 at the line. Orrville was just 23-for-63 from the field for 30 percent, with Plybon just 10-for-25. Orrville hit 10-for-15 from the line. Anna outrebounded the Red Riders 35-31, and in addition to Billing, Bensman had eight rebounds and Huber, perhaps the smallest player on the floor, had seven, giving her a near triple-double. Plybon also had a doubleFor photo reprints, visit www.sidneydailynews.com SDN Photo/Luke Gronneberg double, with 11 rebounds to go ANNA’S EMILY Watercutter passes while being pressured by Orrville’s Noel Hartmann at with her 28 points. Columbus Thursday. we put our freshman (Avery Bensman) on her. She was so nervous this morning, but I told her ‘you can play defense.’ And I thought we did a decent job on her (Playbon)). Our kids kept working and working.” It helped that no one else on the Orrville squad showed that they could hurt the Lady Rockets, and with only Plybon scoring consistently in the first half — she had 17 of her team’s 33 points — Anna
steadily pulled away. According to the statistic sheet given to the media prior to the game, Orrville was giving up 47.1 points per game. Anna had 49 at the half, and making that, and the final tally of 80 even more remarkable, was that the Lady Rockets did not attempt a three-pointer the entire game.’ “I thought it we might have a 100-point state semifinal,” said Billing. “I thought maybe we should back it off, but I decided that’s who we are. We’re going to run and try to get easy baskets.” Sophomore Cayla Bensman had another outstanding game for the Lady Rockets, finishing with 26, and again she got her team off to a quick start with eight first-period points. She said after the game that she’s having fun, and that’s made all the difference. “I’m definitely feeling more comfortable out there,” she said. “Last year I didn’t have a good tournament, and I really had a bad championship game. And I didn’t feel like I was having fun. So I decided to just go out and play and let the game come to me. And have fun.” She was a phenomenal 12for-16 from the field, and again kissed many a shot off the backboard. “It’s kinda funny because when I was a freshman I got yelled at for not using the backboard,” she said. “I worked hard on that and now I love using it on my shots.” Her and senior standout Natalie Billing were a lethal one-two punch for the Lady Rockets. Billing finished with 29, but by her own admission, she didn’t have to work real hard to get those points.

the ball under the basket. I was just open. It really made my job a lot easier.” She finished with a doubledouble for the second game in a row, also pulling down 10 rebounds to lead the Lady Rockets. And Huber was instrumental in the points racked up by Billing and Bensman as she dished out 10 assists to go with eight points, including 6for-6 from the free throw line. The Lady Rockets rolled to a 26-18 lead after a quarter, then increased it to 49-33 at

Morse homers twice, M’s beat Reds 8-7 PEORIA, Ariz. (AP) — Michael Morse made the Mariners out of camp five years ago thanks to big offensive production in spring training. Now he’s back, and even though he’s a big league regular, he’s still having another fruitful spring for Seattle. Morse hit two home runs and drove in five runs to lead the Mariners back from a six-run deficit for an 8-7 win over the Cincinnati Reds Thursday in spring training. Morse’s 3-for-3 afternoon included a double and run scored in the second
inning. He hit his first two-run shot in the fourth off Reds starter Homer Bailey and connected for his second tworun shot in the fifth off reliever Clay Hensley. Morse is 11-for-31 in spring training and leads the team in home runs with five. “Didn’t try to do too much, and got good results,” Morse said. He was most satisfied with his double, an atbat in which he made an adjustment to a two-strike curveball. “I’m always working. I’m always trying to fine-tune my swing, fine-
tune my defense or offense, whatever it could be,” Morse said. “It’s good to get results, no matter what time of year it is. My at-bats are starting to become quality at-bats in a row.” Kendrys Morales and Justin Smoak added two hits and an RBI each for Seattle, which snapped a four-game losing streak. “Too much Morse,” Reds manager Dusty Baker said. “Those balls were hit like a 2-iron.” Catcher Mike Zunino, the Mariners’ first-round draft pick in
2012, hit a go-ahead solo home run in the eighth inning. Bailey allowed three runs on six hits in four innings. Zack Cozart had two hits including a two-run single in the fourth inning and Chris Heisey had two hits for the Reds. “Got a lot of ground balls, which is something we were looking for,” Bailey said. “One pitch, kind of left it middle, and it hasn’t landed yet.” All-Star first baseman Joey Votto went 0-for-2 with a run scored before being replaced after three innings.

Browns building while rivals fading BY GUY CIPRIANO AP Exchange If you can’t beat ‘em, then raid ‘em. And Cleveland pro sports teams are doing plenty of raiding these days. The Browns added a significant piece this week by signing a 6-foot4, 270-pound linebacker who will need FedEx to ship his Super Bowl ring to Lou Groza Boulevard. Paul Kruger earned the ring playing for the Baltimore Ravens, a defense-first organization known for finding co-existing parts. With his parents, Paul and Jennifer, sitting in the corner of a cramped interview room, CEO Joe Banner adjusting a pesky water bottle cap and a coach unknown outside of Northeast Ohio flanking him, Kruger dumped the Ravens during a news conference Wednesday. The reasons for this breakup are obvious.
After agreeing to a $120 million deal with quarterback Joe Flacco, the Ravens needed to avoid the salary cap police. “I was pretty aware that I was going to be somewhere else,” Kruger said. Enter the Browns. An organization with a chronically sore neck from gazing up at the Ravens in the AFC North standings opened the free agency period, which started Tuesday, holding more than $45 million in salary cap space. Nothing temporarily cures self-inflicted maladies like big purchases. The Browns signed Kruger for $41 million, which roughly equates to the daily profits of the Jimmy Haslam-owned Pilot Flying J truck stops along Interstate 80. Toss in Haslam’s truck stops along Intestate 70, and you get Desmond Bryant, the
Harvard-educated defensive tackle the Browns will introduce Thursday. Bryant, who agreed to a five-year, $34 million deal, recently played for the Oakland Raiders. So, business is good in Berea. The Ravens appear weaker. The Browns appear stronger. The Steelers are coping with the shock of missing the playoffs. The Bengals are waiting for Sunday’s paper to see which players and agents are offering discounts. Kruger knows the AFC North well, having spent his entire fouryear career with the Ravens. In some ways, he served as a defensive specialist for the Ravens, helping veterans Ray Lewis and TerSuggs chase rell quarterbacks. He played his best football at the ideal time, collecting 4 1/2 sacks in the postseason. His good
fortune continued when the Browns, whose outside linebacker situation resembled a gaping sinkhole, hired 3-4 proponent Ray Horton as defensive coordinator. “We talked early on about wanting an attacking style of defense and the kind of personnel that embodies that,” coach Rob Browns Chudzinski said. “Paul is the perfect example of that type of player.” Kruger also embodies the type of athlete landing in Cleveland. The Browns’ freeagency splurge follows a winter during which the Indians signed Nick Swisher and Michael Bourn for a combined $104 million. Swisher and Bourn, an engaging duo with winning pedigrees, whiffed a combined 296 times last season. The only whiffing in defensive football involves missing an open field tackle or celebra-
tory hand and arm gesticulations following sacks. But Kruger, like Swisher and Bourn, arrives in Cleveland with holes in his game. The Ravens didn’t use Kruger on every defensive snap. Getting to the quarterback becomes easier when Lewis, Suggs, Ed Reed and Haloti Ngata are standing on the same field. Nobody knows whether Kruger can shed 300pound blockers for 60 minutes. Swisher and Bourn also served as auxiliary parts on powerful teams. Swisher batted in a New York Yankees’ lineup featuring Curtis Granderson, Mark Teixeira, Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez. Jason Heyward, Chipper Jones, Freddie Freeman Martin Prado and helped Michael Bourn scored 96 runs for the Atlanta Braves last season. Are athletes such as
Kruger, Swisher and Bourn products of polished systems? Or are they ready to blossom into performers capable of carrying a team? “I want to be somebody that can be in the lineup the whole game,” Kruger said. “I think I have been deemed as a pass-rusher only. I want to show people that I can be a complete player.” Cleveland’s football and baseball teams spent a combined $179 million on four athletes. That kind of money can repair a few crumbling bridges — or at least the pedestrian walkway spanning Interstate 90 a dump-truck careless driver toppled last weekend. The Browns aren’t rebuilding a bridge. They are simply making football investments. Sometimes the investments look better when your neighbors begin to show cracks.
Sidney native named women’s wrestling coach CAMPBELLSVILLE, Ky. – Former All-Navy wrestling head coach and USA Wo m e n ’s W o r l d Team assistant Lee Miracle has been named the Miracle f i r s t women’s wrestling coach at Campbellsville University. Miracle is a native of Sidney. Miracle first caught wind of the addition of a women’s wrestling program at CU while coaching the All-Navy Team at
the Military World Championships last winter, and inquired about the job. “Starting a women’s program from scratch is a wonderful opportunity, and I’m blessed to have it. I get to build it the way I want, and I get to recruit the student-athletes that I want, and I think we’ll be successful in a fairly short period,” Miracle said. Miracle began his recruiting search immediately, gaining a verbal commitment for 2014 from his daughter Kayla, a junior at Culver Academy (Ind.), and has several “high-caliber”
student-athletes already expressing interest in the program. Kayla Miracle is a 2012 silver medalist at the World Championships and became the first female wrestler to compete in the Indiana State Championships in 2012. “My phone has been blowing up,” Miracle said. “In my limited experience, if you can get a girl to come here on a visit, then that girl is going to come here and come to school. I loved it, and my daughter loved it. To quote Kayla, ‘I couldn’t find one thing wrong with the school,’ and she was looking.”
Miracle’s first recruiting trip will be March 28-31 at the USA Wrestling Women’s Folk Style Nationals in Oklahoma City. His goal is to have a roster of 15 to 20 student-athletes for the 2013-2014 season, and hopes to plan to grow the roster to at least 25 members in 2014-15. A Navy veteran of more than 20 years, Miracle has also spent the last 20 years coaching wrestling at all levels. He joined the USA Women’s World Team in 2011 as a volunteer coach for the team’s trip to the world champi-
onships in Hungary and became assistant coach for the 2012 championships in Azerbaijan. He also coached both freestyle and GrecoRoman wrestling as head coach of the AllNavy Team since 2011, a team that features active Sailors within the Navy to compete at the Armed Forces tournament and Military World Championships. Wrestling runs in the Miracle family. A native of Sidney, Miracle wrestled one year at Heidelberg College before joining the Navy. In addition to Kayla, his oldest son, Shawn, is a wrestler
at Army, while his two youngest, Hope (10) and Cale (8), also are active youth wrestlers. In addition to his national coaching work, Miracle has also worked to begin youth organizations in Indiana and Washington D.C., most recently with the Hoosier Elite Academy in Bloomington, Ind. Campbellsville University women’s wrestling will become the university’s 25th intercollegiate sports program and will compete in the Women’s Collegiate Wrestling Association beginning in 2013-14.
