BY PATRICIA ANN SPEELMAN pspeelman@sdnccg.com Tom and Karen Woodruff, of Jackson Center, sat quietly waiting on a bench the at Shelby County F a i r grounds Friday evening.

2012 The Shelby County Relay for Life was about to start. They each wore a sash that read “Survivor.” Tom had had colon cancer. Karen is a two-time breast cancer survivor of 22 years, and they both had suffered skin cancer. They were among the almost 400 cancer survivors who had gathered with caregivers, family members, friends, and volunteer fundraisers for the annual event that raises hundreds of thousands of dollars for the American Cancer Society.

The relay continues today until noon. Admission is free.

Attendees are invited to walk around a track that is lined with luminaria and team tents, to visit with others, to play games and purchase food and raffle tickets for a variety

THE 2012 Shelby County Relay for Life began Friday at the Shelby County Fairgrounds with the first lap made up of survivors and caregivers. of prizes that volunteer teams have amassed to help raise the amount of donations.

“Our goal is $209,000,” said event co-chairwoman Rhonda Pence. “At the start of the relay, we already had $128,000.” That is a good position to be in, she said. And she said much of it is due to a donation from $21,000

Airstream, the largest single gift this year. Corporate sponsors were the Sidney Daily News, Hits 105.5, Plastipak, Sidney Manufacturing, Country Concert 2012, EmersonCopeland, Wilson Memorial Hospital and VFW Post 4239.

Dozens of other businesses had contributed funds and inkind goods and services. The

funds raised are all donated to the American Cancer Society, but organizers were quick to point out that funds will benefit Shelby County.

“Last year, all the relays in Ohio raised $30 million. But $33 million came into Ohio for research,” said co-chairman Bob Romanowski.

SEATTLE (AP) — Federal data shows the number of live marijuana plants eradicated in outdoor and indoor grow operations has dropped in most states over the past three years, while the amount of bulk processed marijuana seized has doubled in that time.

And authorities can’t pinpoint exact reasons.

One thing is known: California, which provides the lion’s share of the millions of plants eradicated every year in the United States, saw a 46.5 percent drop in plants eradicated between 2010 and 2011, bringing down the nation’s overall numbers.

“You can’t attribute it to one factor,” said Casey Rettig, spokeswoman for Drug Enforcement Administration in San Francisco.

Shifts in tactics from growers, weather patterns and budget cuts to local and state enforcement agencies have played roles in the significant

decrease in eradication, DEA and local officials said.

In 2010, authorities seized 10.32 million marijuana plants from outdoor and indoor growing operations, according to DEA data. By 2011, that number had dropped to 6.7 million plants — a 35 percent decrease.

Those numbers are amplified by California, where 7.3 million plants were eradicated in 2010. The number dropped to 3.9 million plants in 2011, a 46 percent decline.

In that same time span, 37 states saw their eradication results drop. Data for 2012 is not yet available.

One of the most dramatic shifts came from Idaho, which saw its eradication results shrink by more than 98 percent between 2009 and 2011 — from 77,748 plants to just 786. Although, the Caribou County sheriff ’s office reported raiding a farm in southeast Idaho with 40,000 plants this week.

In order for a marijuana plant to be counted, it has to See PLANTS/Page 7A

Couple face murder charges FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) — State police say an Ohio couple has been jailed and murder warrants issued for them in a brutal Indiana killing after the two stopped in Kentucky and asked troopers for directions.

Kentucky state police say 33-year-old James F. Griffith and 21-year-old Lacy D. Bradley, both of Rockford, Ohio, remained lodged Friday in the Franklin County Detention Center.

Police say they face extradition to Indiana after authorities there issued murder warrants Thursday. The two had stopped at a gas station last week and asked police for directions, and police searched the van after discovering problems with the license plates.

Police said they found drugs along with stolen weapons and a stolen antique coin collection that had belonged to an 81-year-old Marion, Ind., man found beaten to death in his home July 27.

Bowles said.

Survivor Joe DeWeese, of Sidney, had skin cancer 26 years ago.

He has attended every local Relay for Life event except one, three years ago.

“We lost our daughter to cancer three years ago, and I didn’t the nerve to come in,” he said. This year, he found the dinner to be excellent.

“The volunteers here are just unreal,” DeWeese said. But his favorite thing is the camaradarie the event engenders.

“Last week, everybody on the grounds was in competition,” he said.

“This week, everybody’s of the same accord.

Everybody’s positive and a good supporting cause.”

The Woodruffs watched the Amvets and American Legion color bearers present the American flag to begin the 18-hour celebration.

They stood with hands on hearts as Bob Schroerlucke, of Sidney, sang the national anthem and they applauded the presentation of awards to Pence, Joe Laber of Hits 105.5, and the Shelby County Relay for Life organization. They planned to stay until the luminaria were lit.

When the call came to assemble for the survivors lap, they rose and walked together toward the starting line.

“Have a good time tonight,” this reporter called to them.

“We enjoy every day,” Karen said with a smile.

Her husband echoed her cheer.

“You get a whole different perspective,” he said. “You find out what’s really important.”

Officials from Cincinnati, with the regional Relay for Life organization, announced during opening ceremonies that the Shelby County event is one of the largest in Ohio and in 2011, once again, qualified as one of the state’s top 50 fundraisers. It raises the most money per person, based on county population, about $4 per person compared to about $2 raised by the next highest county, said Neal Gellenbeck, of Hamilton County.

Romanowski and Pence gave opening remarks. The good news, the latter said, is that the American Cancer Society had recently announced that fewer people are dying from cancer.

“If ever there was a year to double our efforts, this is it,” Romanowski said. “We’re making a difference.”

Father: ‘White Only’ sign Ag chief: caused family suffering Congress must bolster drought relief

BY LISA CORNWELL Associated Press

CINCINNATI (AP) — Michael Gunn said he was so upset when he saw his landlord’s poolside “White Only” sign that he believes was aimed at his black daughter that he could not remain living at the Cincinnati duplex.

Gunn testified Friday at an Ohio Civil Rights Commission hearing in Cincinnati that the sign at the duplex where he rented an apartment cost his family emotionally and financially. The hearing was held to consider penalties that could include punitive and compensatory damages against Gunn’s former landlord. commission The found on Sept. 29 that landlord Jamie Hein, who claimed that the 10year-old girl’s hair products clouded the pool, discriminated against the child. The commission ruled that Hein, who is white, violated the Ohio Civil Rights Act by posting the sign.

Hein did not attend Friday’s hearing, and a recording said her voicemail was full. The state has said Hein gave up her right to challenge the discrimination ruling by failing to respond to earlier case filings.

A ruling from the administrative law judge who heard the case Fri-

THIS JUNE 9, 2011, photo provided by Michael Gunn, shows a “white only” sign posted on the gate to a swimming pool at a duplex in Cincinnati where Gunn lived. Gunn’s daughter, who is black, was denied access to the pool by Jamie Hein, the duplex landlord. An Ohio Civil Rights Commission administrative judge heard arguments at a hearing in Cincinnati Friday and is weighing penalties against the landlord that could include punitive and compensatory damages. day is not expected for months.

Gunn said his daughter lives with her mother but often visits him and had gone swimming in the pool on Memorial Day weekend in 2011.

He said Hein sent him a text message shortly afterward, accusing his daughter of clouding the pool and saying she would have to shower before entering it and wear a swim cap. A few days after that, Gunn said he went to the pool and saw the iron sign stating “Public Swimming Pool, White Only.”

Gunn, who is white, said he was so angry his hands were shaking.

“It’s something you’re supposed to see in history books,” Gunn said.

“It’s not something you’re supposed to see posted at the building where you live.”

He determined he had to move to protect his daughter and was not about to let her see the sign or risk having Hein upset her.

“I did not want her to think that there were people like this or have her think that just because she wasn’t white, people would think less of her,” he told the administrative law judge.

Gunn also testified that he incurred costs from moving, lost work

time and higher rent in addition to the emotional stress, but said his primary concern was his daughter.

“She shouldn’t have to think about the color of her skin in relation to what people think about her,” he said.

Elizabeth Brown, executive director of Housing Opportunities Made Equal, also testified — mostly about the impact on the racially diverse community. The nonprofit fair housing agency in Cincinnati helped Gunn file his complaint.

“It’s not just a personal issue,” Brown said.

“Cincinnati has had problems in the past and has worked hard to change its image into a welcoming and inclusive city. An outrageous action like this is another hit on the city’s reputation.”

Cincinnati was the scene of race riots in April 2001 when police and demonstrators clashed following the shooting of a black suspect by police.

Civil Rights Section Chief Lori Anthony with the Ohio Attorney General’s Office told the judge that damages are being sought “to send a clear message that racial discrimination in housing will not be tolerated.”

The judge did not indicate when she would rule.

Physicians’ campaigngiving limits rejected

BY ANDREW WELSH-HUGGINS Associated Press COLUMBUS (AP) — A state law restricting campaign contributions by physicians who treat Medicaid patients and meant as an anti-corruption tool is an unconstitutional ban on free speech, a federal appeals court ruled Friday.

A provision in the 1978 state law bars the doctors from contributing to candidates for state attorney general or county prosecutor, the officials who prosecute Medicaid fraud.

The ruling by the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Cincinnati opens the door to thousands of doctors who treat Medicaid patients to begin making political contributions.

The court noted that in 2009 Ohio had about

93,000 doctors who provided treatment to Medicaid patients but it investigated just 316 reports of Medicaid fraud, prosecuting 97 people with 68 convictions.

“The statute here restricts the First Amendment rights of nearly 100,000 Medicaid providers who do not commit fraud, based on an attenuated concern about a relative handful of providers who do,” Judge Raymond Kethledge wrote.

Nine Cleveland-area doctors who filed the 2010 lawsuit had argued that the law unfairly assumed that Medicaid doctors are fraudsters who must not be allowed to contribute to candidates.

The doctors who brought the lawsuit supported President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul and challenged the state law after they

were told they could not contribute to state Attorney General Richard Cordray’s re-election campaign.

The doctors wanted to back Cordray, a Democrat, after he refused to join other states in a lawsuit to block the health care law. Cordray lost the November election to his Republican opponent, Mike DeWine, who supported the challenge to the health care overhaul.

The doctors will “never get their rights from 2010 back,” their Cleveland attorney Subodh Chandra said. “At least they and other physicians can participate in political process just like rest of us.”

A spokeswoman for the Ohio Secretary of State’s Office said the office was reviewing the decision and had no further comment.

Lorain police find suspected serial candy thief LORAIN (AP) — Police in northern Ohio have arrested a 17-yearold boy suspected of stealing hundreds of dollars in peanut butter cups from a gas station store over the past six months.

Police spotted the teen outside the store early Thursday, and a clerk identified him as the thief. Lorain police say the boy was charged

with delinquency theft and was released to his parents pending a court appearance.

Store employees had reported a young man would come in usually after midnight, snatch Reese’s peanut butter cups and exit the store

before they could call police. Employees once tricked the bandit by cutting open the bottom of a box of candy so he fled with an empty container.

In all, officers say about $600 worth of candy was stolen.

In 2010, then-Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner, a Democrat, said lifting the ban was not in the public’s interest, since Medicaid patients have their treatment paid for with public funds and accountability is key to that.

BY KANTELE FRANKO Associated Press COLUMBUS (AP) — Federal officials are using their limited options to help farmers facing widespread drought conditions, but they need Congress to pass legislation to provide better disaster relief, U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said Friday.

The House passed legislation Thursday to revive disaster relief programs for cattle and sheep producers affected by drought before lawmakers left for a five-week recess, but the Senate didn’t act on the bill.

Vilsack is pushing for more, saying passage of a comprehensive fiveyear farm policy bill would have a deeper, longer-lasting effect.

The drought and the various types of aid available to farmers and ranchers were among the concerns Vilsack discussed with producers Friday while visiting the Ohio State Fair.

“The president has instructed us to do everything we can to help. Our tools are going to be used, but they’re limited,” Vilsack told The Associated Press by phone afterward. “We need quick passage of the farm bill by the House of Representatives.”

The Senate has passed a version of the five-year bill, and a House committee approved similar legislation, but the House Republican leadership has resisted bringing it to the floor because of fears that conservative lawmakers might oppose spending levels in the bill. The head of the

Senate Agricultural Committee, Sen. Debbie Stabenow, D-Mich., has said informal talks would be held over the recess in an effort to produce a plan that could be offered to both chambers next month.

Democratic opponents have characterized the measure passed Thursday by the House as cover for Republicans having to exto rural plain constituents why they put off action on the comprehensive farm bill, and Vilsack added his criticism.

“The House passed, at the last minute, a piece of legislation which even many members acknowledge is more about politics than policy,” he said.

If the larger farm policy bill isn’t passed by the end of the fiscal year on Sept. 30, when the existing bill effectively ends, policies and programs such as disaster aid could lapse, creating more uncertainty for farmers and people in rural communities, he said.

This week, 218 counties in a dozen droughtstricken states were added to the federal government’s list of natural disaster areas as Vilsack unveiled new help for frustrated, cash-strapped farmers and ranchers grappling with extreme dryness and heat. That means more than half of all U.S. counties have been designated primary disaster areas this growing season, mostly due to drought.

“There’s no question that this is one of the most geographically expanded droughts we’ve confronted,” he said.

“It’s affecting and impacting virtually every state of the Lower 48.”

OUT OF THE BLUE

Another python???

WEST MILFORD, N.J. (AP) — Summer vacation has been anything but routine for a New York City social studies teacher who lives in northern New Jersey.

James Geist has spotted pythons twice within days in his West Milford yard.

Geist was reading on his deck when he thought he saw a branch move on July 23. He soon realized it was a snake.

Police arrived with two snake handlers who told Geist the branch was a 15foot albino python.

Geist tells The Record newspaper the snake was huge, thick and docile.

Four days later, Geist saw another snake. This time it was a 10-foot python.

Animal control believes the tropical snakes were released by someone who had moved from the neighborhood.

Okla. wildfires destroy homes

BY TIM TALLEY Associated Press NOBLE, Okla. (AP) — A wildfire whipped by gusty, southerly winds swept through rural woodlands north and south of Oklahoma City on Friday, burning several homes as firefighters struggled to contain it in 113degree heat.

Oklahoma’s emergency management officials said 25 structures had burned east of Noble, including a handful of homes, and several homes near Luther, north of Oklahoma City, were threatened. Hundreds of residents were told to leave their homes as flames spread through treetops.

The state Highway Patrol closed part of the main highway between Oklahoma City and Tulsa because of the Luther-area fire, which may have been deliberately set.

Local deputies were looking into reports about passengers in a pickup truck who were seen throwing out newspapers that had been set on fire.

“I loaded the kids up, grabbed my dogs, and it didn’t even look like I had time to load the livestock, so I just got out of there,” said Bo Ireland, who lives a few miles from where the Noble-area fire

More than gay marriage driving Chick-fil-A flap

BY BILL BARROW Associated Press ATLANTA (AP) — When President Barack Obama said same-sex couples should have the right to marry, it was national news for a few days before the presidential campaign and the country went back to business as usual.

Yet weeks after a fast-food executive doubled down on his opposition to gay marriage, debate rages on about equality, religious values and free speech.

“Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day” on Wednesday, with supporters flooding the chain’s franchises around the country, was countered with “kiss-ins” by same-sex couples at assorted locations Friday, long after Chick-fil-A president Dan Cathy’s initial comments to a religious publication touched off the clash.

That’s an unusual amount of staying power for what initially looked like just another skirmish over a hot-button question.

Coursing throughout the conversations on social media, in letters to the editor and in long lines to buy chicken sandwiches is the sense among proud Southerners that the outcry over Cathy’s comments smacks of regional stereotyping. When public officials in Boston, Philadelphia and Chicago tell a Southern icon such as Chick-fil-A that it’s no longer welcome, and that Cathy should keep his opinions to himself, many in the Atlanta-based chain’s home region hear more than a little northern condescension.

“Maybe the reaction is just because we’re Southerners,” said Rose Mason, who was lunching Friday at a Chick-filA in suburban Atlanta.

Mason, who described herself as Christian, said she grew up in New York City. Now, she said, “I deal with my sister telling me we’re a little backward.

People have this idea that we’re just behind on everything. So they view anything we say through that (perception).”

Cathy, a devout Southern Baptist whose family has always been outspoken about its faith, sparked the controversy by telling the Baptist Press that he and his family-owned restaurant chain are “guilty as charged” for openly — and financially — supporting groups that advocate for “the biblical definition of a family unit.” He later added that the United States is “inviting God’s judgment on our nation when we shake our fist at him and say, ‘We know better than you as to what constitutes a marriage.”

For Marci Alt, organizer of a protest Friday at a Chick-fil-A in the relatively liberal Atlanta suburb of Decatur, it’s Cathy’s financial backing of conservative groups such as the Family Research Council that takes the conversation beyond merely what he said.

“Dan Cathy has the same First Amendment rights that I do. If he doesn’t want to agree with same-sex marriage, I understand that,” she said.

“But when he puts a pen to paper and writes a check to an organization that is about to squash my equal rights, I have a problem with that.”

Cathy’s comments were in keeping with the tradition established by his father, Truett Cathy, who started the chain in 1967 and never allowed franchises to open on Sundays.

Beyond Friday’s organized displays of affection, there were other signs that the furor still had legs. Police were investigating graffiti on the side of a Chick-fil-A restaurant in Torrance, Calif., that read “Tastes like hate” and had a painting of a cow, in reference to the chain’s ubiquitous ads featuring cows encouraging people to eat poultry.

Parents guilty of murdering daughter

BY PAISLEY DODDS Associated Press LONDON (AP) — The girl was murdered by her Pakistani parents for her Western ways. And it was her little sister who bravely told jurors how her mother and father suffocated the 17-year-old with a plastic bag — gripping testimony that led to her parents’ murder conviction on Friday.

Justice Roderick Evans sentenced Iftikhar, 52, and Farzana Ahmed, 49, to life in prison for killing their daughter, Shafilea, in 2003. The couple — first cousins from the Pakistani village of Uttam — were ordered to serve a minimum of 25 years in prison.

“She was being squeezed between two cultures — the culture and way of life that she saw around her and wanted to embrace, and the culture and way of life you wanted to impose on her,” Evans said during the sentencing at the Chester Crown Court in northwest England.

In Britain, more than 25 women have been killed in so-called “honor killings” in the past decade. Families have sometimes lashed out at their children on the belief that they have brought their household shame by becoming too westernized or by refusing a marriage.

Shafilea was only 10 when she began to rebel against her parents’ strict rules, according to prosecutor Andrew Edis.

The young girl would hide make-up, false nails and western clothes at school, changing into conservative clothes before her parents picked her up.

But it was the last year of her life that proved to be the most traumatic.

During the trial that began in May, jurors heard from Shafilea’s younger sister, Alesha, who said she witnessed the murder when she was 12.

After an argument about Shafilea’s dress, her parents pushed her down on a couch, stuffed a thin white plastic bag into her mouth and held their hands over her mouth and nose until she died, Alesha testified.

PLANTS have a root structure, even if the plant is just inches tall, and be mature enough to yield the buds that contain the drug, said Doug James, DEA spokesman for the Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Alaska region.

But while the number of plants eradicated has dropped, the number of pounds of bulked processed marijuana confiscated has increased from 53,843 pounds in 2009 to 113,167 pounds in 2011, the data collected by the DEA shows.

Some of this was seized along with eradications at growing locations. But DEA officials said the data also includes marijuana seized during traffic stops and other operations, and it’s hard to pinpoint where marijuana comes from.

“You can’t necessarily measure what’s out there,” Rettig said.

From Page 1 Teams of local, state and federal authorities have focused for years on finding clandestine marijuana growing operations in forests and wild lands around the country, using helicopters to search for plants hidden beneath the natural canopy.

These marijuana grow operations, authorities have said, feature irrigation systems from nearby creeks and fertilizers that damage the local habitat. Authorities believe some of the growing operations are operated by branches of Mexican drug organizations using the forced labor of immigrants to tend the plants. Others are tended by locals.

“On a professional level, I like to believe that we’re pushing them out of the area,” said Washington state Patrol Lt. Mark Brogan, who is in charge of narcotics investigations. Washington state saw

its number of plants eradicated dip from over 600,000 to just over 325,000 between 2009 and 2011.

But Brogan said lingering cool spring weather has also affected the crop over the past couple of years.

“They’re growing in areas where they need very good conditions to cultivate a lot of plants,” he said.

In California, Rettig said growers are switching from large scale forest farms with many plants to smaller, less visible plots where they can grow fewer, but bigger and higher yielding plants.

There has been a change in where these plots are grown, too, with many operations moving to the agricultural region of the Central Valley, Rettig added.

“Most of the smart people moved down … and a lot of them decentralized their gardens where it’s less likely to

be seen and eradicated,” said Dale Gieringer of the California chapter of National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws, which advocates for legalization of marijuana.

Gieringer said street prices for marijuana have dipped recently, which suggests that there is plenty of it to go around, despite the DEA’s efforts.

“I would argue that, in large part, many of these formerly outdoor grows have moved indoors,” said Paul Armentano, deputy director of NORML. That marijuana “commands a higher price in the market. There seems to be greater preference for indoor grown versus outdoor grown.

It could be simple market forces at work.”

Budget cuts to California’s Campaign Against Marijuana Planting are also a factor, Rettig said.

HOROSCOPE

BY FRANCIS DRAKE What kind of day will tomorrow be?

To find out what the stars say, read the forecast given for your birth sign.

For Monday, Aug. 6, 2012 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) This is a lovely way to start your week! The Moon is in your sign bringing you extra good luck, and because it’s dancing with lucky Jupiter, you feel upbeat and positive!

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) This is a good day for business and commerce. Behind-the-scenes research might benefit you in your job or your approach to boosting your earnings. (Do your homework.)

New owner wants a winner Says ‘zero chance’ he’ll move the team BEREA, Ohio (AP) — The new Browns owner said he’s ready to bring “winning back to Cleveland” and proclaimed there’s “zero chance” he’ll move the team out of town.

A day after agreeing to purchase the Browns for a reported $1 billion, truck-stop magnate Jimmy Haslam III held a news conference Friday at the club’s training camp facility.

Introduced by Browns President Mike Holmgren, Haslam said his family is excited to be in Cleveland and he’s “100 percent committed to making the Cleveland Browns winners again.”

That’s been a tough task for a club still looking for its first NFL championship in nearly a half century.

Latos pitches, hits Reds to win CINCINNATI (AP) — Mat Latos pitched shutout ball into the eighth inning and hit a two-run homer Friday night as the NL Central-leading Cincinnati Reds opened a three-game series against their closest pursuers with a 3-0 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Chris Heisey hustled for an inside-the-park home run and Aroldis Chapman closed out the win that gave the Reds a 4¬Ω-game lead over the Pirates.

The Reds have won 14 of 15 and moved 24 games over .500 for the first time since 1999.

Latos (10-3) allowed four hits in 7 1-3 innings. Jonathan

Broxton got a key double play to end the eighth and Chapman recorded his 24th save.

Latos hit his third career home run, connecting in the fifth against Wandy Rodriguez (7-10).

Zack Cozart added three hits for the Reds. The series was Cincinnati’s first against a team over .500 after five straight against clubs with losing records.

Latos allowed just one runner past second base, none after the first inning. He struck out five, walked three and improved to 4-0 in five career starts against the Pirates.

Broxton entered with runners on first and second. The

newly acquired reliever got pinch hitter Gaby Sanchez ‚Äî acquired from Miami right before Tuesday’s trading deadline ‚Äî to ground into Pittsburgh’s third double play of the night.

Chapman struck out two in the ninth. He hit Andrew McCutchen with a pitch with two outs.

The Reds already led 1-0 in the fifth when Latos followed Ryan Hanigan’s two-out single with a 367-foot drive into the left-field seats for his first homer of the season.

Rodriguez (7-10), acquired

by Pittsburgh from Houston for three minor leaguers on July 24, has lost his last four decisions and is 0-1 in two

starts with the Pirates. He allowed seven hits and three runs with no walks and four strikeouts.

Heisey put the Reds ahead in the second when he lofted a drive to deep left field that eluded Starling Marte’s attempt at a leaping catch. The ball glanced off the wall and rolled toward left-center field, and Heisey was waved home by third base coach Mark Berry and just beat the relay to the plate.

The inside-the-park homer was Cincinnati’s second of the season and the second of Heisey’s career. He hit one on Aug. 2, 2010, at Pittsburgh.

Jay Bruce hit one on June 15 against the Mets in New York.

All U.S. men’s boxers eliminated LONDON (AP) — The U.S. men's boxing team is done at the Olympics.

All nine men from the most successful team in Olympic boxing history have been eliminated after losses by flyweight Rau'shee Warren and welterweight Errol Spence on Friday night, capping a stunning run of nine straight defeats in five days after a 4-0 start.

Although three women are still alive in their tournament, which begins Sunday, the American men will head home from London with their worst Olympic showing ever.

Warren is the first three-time Olympic boxing in U.S. history, but the third-seeded flyweight lost his opening Olympic bout for a third time, falling to France's Nordine Oubaali 19-18. the bout.

In what amounted to a symbolic changing of the guard Friday, Phelps claimed the 17th gold medal of a career that has just 24 hours to go — on the same night one teenager, Missy Franklin, broke a world record in the backstroke and another, Katie Ledecky, took down a hallowed American mark that was set nearly eight years before she was born.

“This has sort of turned into the youth Olympics,” Franklin said. “There’s so many members of the team

That streak should carry right on with the Americans sending out an imposing quartet that includes three gold medalists (Phelps, freestyler Nathan Adrian and backstroker Matt Grevers), plus a guy who won bronze (breaststroker Brendan Hansen).

It’s unfathomable to think the Phelps era could end with anything less than a performance that puts him atop the podium one last time, gold medal No. 18 around his neck.

“I don’t think Michael is going to let anything go wrong in that race,” said Eric Shanteau, who swam the relay for the U.S. in the prelims.

Just minutes before Phelps took center stage at the Olympic Aquatics Centre, Franklin set a world record in the 200 backstroke, the 17-yearold’s third gold in London. Another American teen, 19-year-old Elizabeth Beisel, claimed the bronze in that race.

“I can’t believe what just happened,” said Franklin, who had dedicated her Olympics to victims of the theater shooting not far from her Colorado home. “In that last 25, I knew I was giving it everything I had because I couldn’t feel my arms and legs and I was just trying to get my hand to the wall as fast I could.”

Sidney Daily News, Saturday, August 4, 2012

Furyk scrambles to 66, stays in lead AKRON, Ohio (AP) —Jim Furyk and Tiger Woods each carried momentum into the second round of the Bridgestone Invitational. That meant the best 36-hole score for Furyk in his PGA Tour career, and the worst start for Woods in nearly fourth months.

Furyk had another good day with the putter, making a few birdies early and saving par from the bunker four times on the back nine at Firestone for a 4under 66 and a two-shot lead over Rafa CabreraBello of Spain.

It helped that Furyk opened with a 63 on Thursday afternoon, allowing him to turn around Friday morning and try to resume his good play. That’s what he did, starting with a tricky birdie putt on the second hole and following his lone bogey with a 20-foot birdie on the ninth.

“Just probably a little easier to keep the momentum going that way than having an early time on Thursday, having a good round and having to sit on it until Friday afternoon,” he said. He was at 11-under 129, two shots clear of Cabrera-Bello, who had a

Gordon wins Humanitarian Heisman LONG POND, Pa. (AP) — Jeff Gordon is NASCAR's charitable champion.

T h e f o u r- t i m e Cup champion was honored Friday as sevthe Gordon enth recipient of the Heisman Humanitarian Award.

The award will be formally presented at the 78th annual Heisman Memorial Trophy Dinner on Dec. 10 in New York.

Gordon was joined by Heisman Trophy winners George Rogers and Tim Brown at Friday's announcement at Pocono Raceway.

The Jeff Gordon Children's Foundation has raised more than $11

BROWNS “Our style is we are going to be involved. We are open and transparent. We are used to being in the public eye,” Haslam said. “We’re going to be out there selling the Browns all the time.”

While the papers have been signed, the NFL still must sign off on the deal. Getting the nod from 24 of the 32 teams is required, which will likely happen in the next few months.

ESPN reported the sale price was more than $1 billion. For comparison, the Miami Dolphins sold at a value of more than $1 billion in 2009.

The Browns were valued at $977 million last year by Forbes magazine, 20th in the NFL. Steelers President Art Rooney II said in a statement Friday that he’s sorry Haslam will be leaving, “but I am happy the National Football League is going to have a strong new owner. I am sure the Haslam family will bring constructive and able ownership to the Cleveland Browns.”

Lerner, whose family has owned the franchise since it returned to the NFL in 1999, first announced he was in negotiations to sell the club last week. The late Al Lerner, Randy’s father, purchased the franchise from the NFL in 1998 for $530 million after the original Browns moved to Baltimore in 1996 and became the Ravens. The elder Lerner died in 2002.

Randy Lerner also is the owner of Aston Villa,

a club in the English Premier League.

Even with a string of failures on the field, the value of the Browns ‚Äî like other NFL franchises — keeps increasing, boosted by broadcast income. The league agreed in December to nine-year contracts with CBS, Fox and NBC that run through the 2022 season and will boost revenue from the $1.93 billion last season to $3.1 billion by 2022. The NFL reached an eightyear extension with ESPN last year through the 2021 season that increases the rights fee from $1.1 billion to $1.9 billion annually.

Haslam has been a minority investor in the Steelers since 2008, and is the president and CEO of Pilot Flying J, the largest operator of travel centers and travel plazas in North America.

He said he has centers in 43 states and in Canada, and dozens in Ohio.

According to a 2010 profile on Steelers.com, Haslam has been a Dallas Cowboys fan and then an Indianapolis Colts fan. But with the Pittsburgh investment, Haslam said he had become “1,000 percent a Steelers fan.”

The Haslam brothers also are supporters of the University of Tennessee, where their father Jim Haslam played tackle on the 1951 national championship football team under Gen. Robert R. Neyland, who built the Volunteers into a football powerhouse.

million for children's charities through the years. As part of the award, the Heisman Trophy Trust will donate $50,000 to Gordon's foundation.

Gordon's primary sponsor in the Sprint Cup Series is the AARP Foundation's Drive to End Hunger, an initiative that seeks to end hunger for nine million people over the age of 50.

From Page 13 The elder Haslam founded the Pilot Corp. in 1958 with a single gas station in Gate City, Va. He credits sons Bill and Jimmy with expanding the chain from mostly gas stations and convenience stores to a “travel center” concept of truck stops featuring branded fast food service.

Holmgren emphasized the Browns aren’t moving.

The current staff might be, however, if Cleveland doesn’t do better than the 4-12 record of 2011, Shurmur’s first season as coach. New owners usually bring in their own management team, although Shurmur has impressed many people around the league.

“I have no fear about any of that because I trust my coaches, I trust the players and I’ve watched the work they’ve done based on the conversation of this last week,” Shurmur said Thursday. “I think we’re moving full steam ahead. That doesn’t bother me one bit at this point at this point. My concern is getting this team ready to play and our players understand that message and they are doing a good job.”

Holmgren would not address his future with the Browns.

“Honestly, my focus is to have guys here concentrating on football, making it business as usual,” he said. “The what ifs and hypotheticals, I have to stay away from.”

Sidney Daily News, Saturday, August 4, 2012

FORECAST

Fishing forecast LAKE LORAMIE • Largemouth bass fishing is going to be pretty slow at 82 degree water temperature. Bass will start moving much slower and feeding less aggressively until the water temperature starts to get back down to comfortable levels.

When the water temperature is up this high, it's time to get out fishing early and late in the day when the sun is not on the water. When you can get out for the entire day, it's a great time to fish some deeper water.

Many large bass are taken this time of year since bass fishermen typically gets out deeper and fish slower with larger baits. Like any other time of year, the slower you fish with bigger baits on the deep drops and river channels, the better chance you have at a lunker.

This is a great time to catch a trophy.

• Smallmouth bass fishing is going to be pretty slow at this water temperature. Bass will typically start moving much slower and feeding less aggressive until the water temperature starts to get back down to comfortable levels.

When the water temperature is up this high, get out fishing early and late and cast in the shallows.

When the sun is up it will be time to get out into deeper water, try fishing some drop offs and deep channel bends.

• Unlike most North American fish species, blue catfish, flathead and channel catfish are comfortable when the water temperature is this high. They will be feeding and moving in typical patterns. You will start having a little better luck if you can get to some moving water that is adding a little more oxygen for the baitfish and the catfish will be there also.

CENTRAL OHIO Scioto River (Delaware, Franklin and Pickaway Counties) Smallmouth bass can be caught using crankbaits and plastics below Griggs and O'Shaughnessy Reservoirs. Try fishing the upper end of pools where it meets the riffles. Flathead and channel catfish can also be caught using cut bait or live fish around woody cover in pools.

NORTHWEST OHIO Ottawa River (Allen County) - This river, which passes through the city of Lima, is a good place to try for channel catfish. The best locations are from downtown to the Collett Street railroad trestle.

Night crawlers, chicken livers, raw shrimp, as well as commercial catfish baits are all popular with local anglers. Fishing access is mainly limited to the shoreline; however, some anglers do use small boats or canoes.

SOUTHWEST OHIO C. J. Brown Reservoir (Clark County) - Walleye can be taken using crankbaits, jigs with plastic bodies or curly tails, small spinners, or live minnows, leaches, or night crawlers as bait.

Good curly tail color choices are white, orange, pink, or chartreuse. Fish by slowly jigging, trolling or drifting baits in 10 to 15 foot depths. Anglers report that the most successful bait has been silver or gold blade baits. Anglers report walleyes are being caught in the main lake river channel, around structure, and over the humps. The best fishing is in the very early morning

hours. Most walleye are undersized fish but some legal fish are being caught. Channel catfish are being caught by anglers using shad, shrimp, night crawlers, and chicken livers in the upper end of the lake.

Fish the bait tight line or slowly drift the bait along the bottom in three to six foot depths.

Caesar Creek (Clinton, Greene, and Warren counties) - Anglers casting in-line spinners and crankbaits are starting to catch a few muskellunge and, also, having fish follow their baits.

Saugeye anglers are catching a few 15 to 18 inch fish from six to 15 feet depths, but most fish are small. Troll medium or deep diving crankbaits along submerged points or underwater humps. Cast or drift with live night crawlers on a bottom bouncing harness rig, or use a lead head jig tipped with a piece of worm. Fish in the early morning and early evening hours. . If you catch a muskie please report your catch to the Division of Wildlife's Muskie Angler Log. The Muskie Angler Log was developed in partnership with the Ohio Muskie Anglers as a resource for Ohio muskie anglers and to support muskie management efforts in Ohio by providing valuable muskie catch data to the Ohio Division of Wildlife.

Channel catfish are being caught by shore anglers using night crawlers, shrimp, and chicken livers. Fish the bait tight line along the bottom in five to eight foot depths.

Lake Erie Western Basin Walleye fishing has been fair in the western basin. Fish have been caught by trolling or casting N of West Sister Island and N of C can of the Camp Perry firing Trollers have range. been using worm harnesses with inline weights or divers, and also divers with spoons.

Yellow perch fishing has been best from 1 to 4 miles offshore between Metzger's Marsh and Crane Creek, around A, B, C, and H cans of the Camp Perry firing range, between Green and Rattlesnake Islands, and NE of Kelleys Island.

Perch spreaders with shiners fished near the bottom produce the most fish.

Central Basin Walleye fishing has been good at the weather buoy near the Canadian border N of Vermilion.

Anglers are picking up a few fish in 70-77' of water N of Chagrin River. Excellent fishing continues in 70-74' of water N of Geneva and NW of Ashtabula.

Yellow perch fishing has been good. The best locations to fish include 39-47' of water N of the Cuyahoga River and in 40-44' of water N of Wildwood State Park. Further east, perch catches have been good in 45' of water NW of Fairport Harbor (the hump), in 4050' of water NE of Geneva and in 43-48' of water N of Conneaut.

Perch spreaders with shiners fished near the bottom produce the most fish. Shore anglers are catching fish off the Cleveland Piers and at Headlands Beach Pier in Mentor out at the lighthouse.

Smallmouth bass fishing has been very good in 15 to 29' depths and around harbor areas in Cleveland, Fairport Harbor, Geneva, Ashtabula and Conneaut. This past week anglers are having good luck using

Over 23 million fish stocked in Ohio waters so far in 2012 COLUMBUS — The 2012 production season for the Division of Wildlife’s six state fish hatcheries is off to a great start, according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources’ (ODNR) Division of Wildlife.

More than 23 million sport fish have been stocked statewide thus far with late summer and fall stockings yet to be completed. Unusually warm temperatures in early spring accelerated egg take and required fish management personnel to adapt quickly to the unexpected weather.

Hatchery crews began the stocking season in early March with catchable rainbow trout that kicked off the fishing season for many outdoor enthusiasts. These trout stockings continued through April with many of the stockings coinciding with youth or other special events,

providing opportunities for beginning or novice anglers.

Walleye and saugeye were distributed statewide in April and May. Ohio’s saugeye program is very popular with inland anglers. This hybrid, a cross between female walleye and male sauger, has been stocked in many of Ohio’s inland lakes since the late 1970s. Saugeye have created a fishery in lakes where walleye stockings proved unsuccessful.

Both saugeye and walleye are excellent table fare.

Steelhead are stocked in select tributaries of Lake Erie in April and May, and they were raised at the newly renovated Castalia State Fish Hatchery. This facility is the only steelhead hatchery operated by the Division of Wildlife. Ohio’s steelhead fishery is among the best in the Great Lakes region, attracting

Free day at the range XENIA — The Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) Division of Wildlife is sponsoring a Family Outdoor Skills Day on Sept. 22.

The event will feature shotgun, rifle, pellet gun and archery shooting activities and instruction.

This family-friendly day will be held at Spring Valley Shooting Range in Greene County from noon to 5 p.m.

All range fees are waived for the participants, and the equipment and ammunition will be provided.

The event provides an excellent opportunity for adults and youth alike to

gain hands on training with archery and firearms at no charge from certified instructors.

The Outdoor Skills Day has been an annual event at the range since 2002 with about 125 participants taking part yearly. The range complex at Spring Valley is handicap accessible and offers public restrooms.

The Spring Valley Range is located just south of Xenia at 3450 Houston Road.

For information call the District Five office at (937) 372-9261 or Spring Valley Wildlife Area office (937) 488-3115, range (937) 862-5162.

anglers from across the country.

Hybrid striped bass and yellow perch finished off this spring’s stockings. Late summer and fall plans include muskellunge, channel catfish, blue catfish and brown trout, further adding to the diversity of opportunities available for anglers.

Sales of fishing licenses along with the Sport Fish Restoration (SFR) program continue to fund the operation of the Division of Wildlife’s fish hatcheries. No state tax dollars are used for this activity. This is a user-pay, user-benefit program.

The SFR is a partnership between federal and state government, industry, and anglers/boaters. When anglers purchase rods, reels, fishing tackle, fish finders and motor boat fuel, they pay an excise tax. The federal govern-

ment collects these taxes and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service administers and disburses these funds to the state fish and wildlife agencies. These funds are used to acquire habitat, produce and stock fish, conduct research and surveys, provide aquatic education to youth and acquire and develop boat accesses.

Sport fish reared at state fish hatcheries provide opportunities for anglers, old and young alike, novice or expert.

Whether people are looking for ways to spend leisure time with family or friends, pursue a trophy fish like the muskellunge, or wanting healthy, nutritious food for the table, Ohio offers it all.

ODNR ensures a balance between wise use and protection of our natural resources for the benefit of all. Visit the ODNR website at ohiodnr.com.

New publication serves rural west central Ohio with news, features on agriculture, rural life a story on area farmers markets, including Sidney’s; a full page of recipes provided by local people, including ones by a Sidney woman and a Minster man; a story on the Langston family of Sidney and their Texas Longhorn cattle; profiles on area agricultural queens, including Meghan Bruns, of Fort Loramie, who is the 2012 Shelby County Pork Queen, and much more.

The West Central edition joins four existing sister publications that serve other parts of Ohio. They are ACRES of Northwestern Ohio, covering 10 counties; ACRES of Southwestern Ohio, covering 11 counties; ACRES of North Central Ohio, covering nine counties, and ACRES of Western Ohio, covering three counties.

Combined, the publications serve a total of 40 Ohio counties, or almost half the state. They are mailed directly to more than 40,000 rural and farm residents at no charge. Others interested in receiving one or more of the editions may

buy them at any of the OCM newspaper offices, or they may purchase subscriptions.

Among area OCM newspapers in the West Central region are the Sidney Daily News, Piqua Daily Call, Troy Daily News and Urbana Daily Citizen.

In addition to presenting readers with an informative and entertaining news and feature package, the ACRES publications offer advertisers a great opportunity to target the rural and farm community within specific geographic areas. Many businesses have already experienced the advantages of advertising in one or more of the ACRES editions.

Jeff Billiel, of Sidney, has been named editor of ACRES of West Central Ohio. He will work in concert with Gary Brock, editor-in-chief of all ACRES editions.

Each man also wears another hat under the OCM umbrella — Brock as editor and publisher of The Record Herald in Washington Court House, and Billiel as executive editor and pub-

lisher of the Sidney Daily News.

“I’m very excited to serve as editor of this new publication,” Billiel said. “Our part of the state is largely rural, and with agriculture being Ohio’s No. 1 industry, we feel ACRES will certainly find a receptive audience.”

Billiel noted that content in each West Central edition will be directed toward readers from that region, including news, feature articles and photos. There will be a strong emphasis on agriculture, but rural nonfarm residents will also find content of interest.

“In addition to articles addressing timely issues and topics, we will also have a number of standard features in each edition,” Billiel said. Among them are a localized recipe column, a salute to youth, a rural life column by Billiel, a column by Brock, an agricultural calendar of events and a farming column by retired Shelby County Agricultural Extension Agent Roger Bender, of Fort Loramie.

A new publication of Ohio Community Media (OCM), parent firm of the Sidney Daily News, debuts today with the introduction of ACRES of West Central Ohio.

The new product is a monthly newspaper devoted to agriculture and the rural community.

The first edition was mailed today to more than 11,000 households in a seven-county region that comprises Shelby, Auglaize, Logan, Champaign, Miami, Montgomery and Clark counties. It is not to be part of the Sidney Daily News but a stand-alone product.

The publication focuses on issues of interest to farmers and others who live in the country. A variety of topics will be addressed each month, with much content focusing specifically on the seven counties served.

The August edition features a cover story on Rob Joslin, of Sidney, who is active in the American Soybean Association; a story on the annual farm Mass held by the Archdiocese of Cincinnati in St. Marys;

SIDNEY–When you think of soybeans in Ohio, you think of Rob Joslin.

The Sidney-area farmer has been active in the American Soybean Association (ASA) for many years. He’s served on several ASA committees and was national president of the ASA in 2010.

Joslin recently responded to some questions about soybean farming, the ASA’s role in the soybean industry, and the future of the industry.

What are your duties and responsibilities as a member of the American Soybean Association Board of Directors?

“A director has the responsibilities of overseeing the business of the American Soybean Association. The ASA mission, in short, is ‘increase market opportunities and value for U.S. soybean farmers.’ This is achieved through domestic and international policy advocacy, based on direction set by farmer members. Our efforts are guided by our commitment to produce food, feed and energy in an environmentally sustainable manner.”

Among them are a localized recipe column, a salute to youth, a rural life column by Billiel, a column by Brock, an agricultural calendar of events and a farming column by retired agricultural Extension agent Roger Bender of Shelby County.

No stranger to rural life, Billiel grew up on a 57acre hardscrabble farm in western Massachusetts.

“We raised pigs and chickens but my father kept his day job,” Billiel said jokingly. As a teenager Billiel worked on a nearby dairy farm after school, on weekends and during the summers.

Billiel has been with the Sidney Daily News for 40 years, 38 as editor. He and his wife Lola, a retired school teacher, live on an 18-acre mini-farm east of Sidney where they keep chickens for meat and eggs. When their two children were active in 4-H they raised “just about every species imaginable at one time or another,” he said.

Billiel has a special interest in heritage varieties of fruit and vegetables, which he raises, along with endangered breeds of poultry. Currently he maintains Maran chickens, noted for tral Cen t their extremely dark brown eggs, and ChanteES of Wes editor of ACR one of clers, the only breed developed in Canada and JEFF BILLIEL, Wheaten Maran rooster, est now considered threatened because so few a Ohio, displays he raises.

Billiel noted that content in each West Central edition will be directed toward readers from that region, including news, feature articles and photos. There

Honda supports wildlife camp Oberdorf honored the result of a recent grant to upgrade the center’s Dempsey Wildlife Display and new funding to train additional instructional interns. Enrollment in recent years has consistently ranged between 180 and 220 students from Delaware, Union, Madison, Franklin, Logan and Fairfield counties. To support this growth, Honda of America Mfg. provided a $15,000 grant this year, making available curriculum materials, aquatic study pond equipment, additional camp counselors and other educational items.

“We are pleased to work with Honda and other organizations to enhance environmental and science education among our students in Ohio,” said Barbara Ray, Director of Education for Ohio Wildlife Center.

“These camp experiences

Chiropractor offers ADHD alternative Witwer Chiropractic of Sidney is now offering a holistic approach to help people manage the challenges associated with ADHD. Witwer Chiropractic combines ADHD expertise, chiropractic alignment and neurological assessment with exercise and nutrition counseling.

ADHD is typically characterized by impulsivity, inattentiveness, and hyperactivity – characteristics that make it hard for those with this trait to reach their highest potential.

Dr. Edward Hallowell, child and adult psychiatrist and author, considers ADHD to be a trait, not a disability. “When managed effectively, those with ADHD have accomplished extraordinary successes, but if undiagnosed or untreated, ADHD can wreck lives,” Hallowell said.

He noted that having ADHD is like having a Ferrari engine for a brain, but with bicycle brakes. In keeping with this analogy, Dr. Tom Witwer, of Witwer Chiropractic (www.witwerchiro.com/ADHD.html) says, “We teach children and adults with ADHD how to strengthen their “brakes” while also giving their bodies and “engines” a tune-up.

Medication is not the only answer.”

Witwer Chiropractic will combine Hallowell’s strengths-based approach by first identifying the unique gifts inherent in everyone, and then tailoring their proven chiropractic techniques to help the person with ADHD achieve their full potential. More information on the program can found at http://www.shinefordoctors.com.

bridge a learning gap in both urban and suburban schools when it comes to understanding and appreciating the wild neighbors in our immediate environment.”

As part of the program, young wildlife explorers are given the opportunity to connect with nature, and the camp students participate in hands-on activities and animal care with the center’s wildlife residents. In addition, the campers enhance their socialization skills, self-awareness and

team-building skills.

Representatives from the center and Honda recently visited with students at the day camp, including Caroline Ramsey, manager of Honda of America’s philanthropy initiatives.

“Honda is pleased to support this program, which brings together students from diverse backgrounds and locations to learn together and broaden their understanding of the environment and the wildlife that exists all around us,” Ramsey said.

Larry Oberdorf Jr., with the Sidney office of Real Living Realty Services, has been awarded the Seniors Real Estate Specialist (SRES) designation by the Seniors Real Estate Specialist Council of the National Association of Realtors.

Oberdorf, of 15135 Timberwood Lane, Minster, joins more than 16,000 real estate professionals in North America who have earned the SRES designation. All were required to successfully complete a comprehensive course in understanding the

needs, considerations, and goals of real estate buyers and sellers aged 55 and older.

The SRES Council, founded in 2007, is the world’s largest association of real estate professionals focusing specifically on representing senior clients in real estate transactions. The National Association of Realtors is reportedly America’s largest trade association, representing more than 1.3 million members involved in all aspects of the residential and commercial real estate industries.

STOCK MARKET Ferguson hires marketing manager

Listed are Friday’s stock market prices at closing for firms in the Sidney-Shelby County area traded on the major markets.

Ferguson Construction Co. recently hired Kristy Warren as marketing manager. Warren will be working out of the corporate headquarters located in Sidney. She will be overseeing the marketing efforts in Ferguson Construction Company’s Sidney, Dayton and Columbus offices.

Warren is a Piqua native and attended Miami University, majoring in mass communications and minoring in interactive media studies. After graduation, she worked for Fox Cable Networks in advertising sales in New York City, before embarking on a two-year stint in the Peace Corps in South Africa. There,

she focused on teaching computer skills and HIV/AIDS prevention and awareness in a rural village, located on the border of Swaziland.

She returned to Piqua in August 2010 and became the AmeriCorps for Entrepreneurial Success Project Director over Darke, Miami and Shelby counties for about a year and a half.

“I am honored to come aboard such a reputable, proactive company,” said Warren, of Ferguson Construction. “My previous positions have prepared me for networking and brand management as well as connecting well with clients and their needs.”

He said time nesses, but I do believe it would heal it. I finally works for some. Most of

the evidence in favor of massage is anecdotal, supported only by testimonials of people. That’s not scientific evidence.

However, recent scientific studies have shown that massage gets results for many conditions. It has been effective in relieving pain and increasing the range of motion for some people with osteoarthritis of the knee. It has been demonstrated to have success for low back pain — not for all, but for a number of people. It definitely relieves muscle spasms. I wonder if a preventive massage would stop the muscle cramping that happens to many older

people when they’re in bed?

Massage increases blood flow to muscles and tissues, and that encourages healing. It reduces swelling, which is another factor that enhances healing. If you intend to use massage for an injury, first check with your doctor to see if there are contraindications to it.

Massage techniques are many. Effleurage employs smooth, gliding strokes. Petrissage is a kneading and rolling technique. Tapotement involves striking the body with cupped hands.

Practitioners often employ a combination of strokes.

DEAR ABBY: A bridal tea is being held for my niece soon. The invitation says, “Hats and dresses, please.” I was also told verbally by the mother of the bride (my sister) that they want everyone attending to wear hats. I told her I’m very uncomfortable wearing a hat, but would put flowers in my hair to “jazz it up” a bit.

Last night, my brother-in-law called asking what I was wearing to the tea. My first reaction was that he was joking — so I asked if he thought that it was even worth a conversation. He said if I don’t wear a dress and hat, to not bother coming.

I was so shocked that I said OK and hung up.

I am very sad that I would not be welcomed without the hat — something so superficial. If appearances are more important than having me there, then I really don’t want to attend. I would, however, send a note and gift and also attend the regular shower

being planned if invited.

I don’t want to alienate the family.

How do you think I should handle this? I am lost for words — although you wouldn’t know it by my rambling on. Thanks for your advice. — RAMBLING AUNTIE DEAR RAMBLING AUNTIE: Obviously, your sister and her daughter are more concerned with the fantasy of how things will look at this tea than the feelings of those who will attend.

People like that are easily offended/alienated and carry grudges.

Because you don’t want to cause a rift, buy a cheap hat and go to the tea. While sending a note and gift in lieu of attending is more than what most people would do under the circumstances — and I don’t blame you for considering it — to keep peace in the family, put in an appearance.

P.S. With relatives like this, you have my sympathy.

August 4, 1912 At the regular meeting of the board of education last evening, the date of Sept. 2, Labor Day, was set for the opening of the new school term. Miss Hulda Kramer was elected to teach in the Sidney schools. Three janitors were selected. They are, William Shuey, for the first and second wards; Frank Kaser for the Central building, and Ben Henke for the fourth ward. Ed Shinn was re-elected truant officer.

————— The Loyal Order of Moose will be instituted in this city tonight at the F.O.E. Hall by Organizer George Hamilton of Newark, O. About 60 candidates for Moosedom will be made to tramp the dismal forests and through the paths leading to the home of the herd in the heart of the wood.

————— The number of automobile accidents that are published daily in the newspaper ought to install some measures of prudence into those amateur automobile drivers who imagine that high speed is the summit of enjoyment in automobiling. Almost every accident recorded is when the machine is going at a high speed, upwards of 30 miles per hour.

75 Years August 4, 1937 Sixty-five Sidney boys are enjoying a trip to Cincinnati today, sponsored by the Sidney Boys’ Club. The boys left from the Spot corner at 6:30 a.m. in school busses driven by B.D. Heck and H.C. Russell.

The itinerary of the day will include several hours in the zoo, the ball game, the railroad terminal and then home.

This is the first trip of its kind attempted by the local club and it probably will be made an annual affair.

————— Elaborate plans have been made to make the joint Grange picnic of August 8 one of outstanding pleasure for every member of the eight granges, their families and all visiting grangers who will attend. The pleasures will begin with a basket dinner at 12:30 o’clock, the tables for which will be located near the amphitheatre. In the afternoon a variety of entertainment will be enjoyed, including a ball game, horse shoe pitching contests as well as many other contests for which prizes will be given.

50 Years August 4, 1962 Lyle F. Baker, 34-year-

old municipal fireman, has been appointed to fill the post of lieutenant on Chief Vernon L.R. Millhoff ’s staff, City Manager William G. Fultz announced today.

The municipal employee was chosen for the job on the basis of the recent civil service competitive examination conducted among six of the 10 department members with fireman’s rating, it was announced. The new lieutenant, a native of Marion, Ind., is a 17year-resident of Sidney.

He was appointed fireman April 1, 1953.

————— HOLLYWOOD — Marilyn Monroe is dead today at 36, victim of an overdose of drugs which ended a tempestuous, glamorous rocket ride to fame and personal tragedy. Her body was discovered by her psychiatrist, Dr. Ralph Greenson, who used a fireplace poker to smash through the bedroom window shortly after 3 a.m. Sunday morning.

————— Bobo Brazil sat comfortably in his car at the Shelby County fairgrounds Tuesday evening, puffing away on a pipe and watching as workers erected the ring he’d soon be standing in.

He could identify with those workers. That’s how he got started 30 years ago at age 20, setting up rings for a promoter named Jumpin’ Joe Savoli. It wasn’t long, though, before Savoli figured out that the gentle giant, 6-foot-6, should be in the ring, not outside. And the rest is wrestling history. Brazil was one of the top attractions in the country at the height of his career, and his stardom took him all over the world.
