An event that is expected to attractthousands of participants and spectatorsand pump about $900,000 into the localeconomy is coming here in September.The Rebel Run Rod & CustomNation-

als will be held Sept. 20-22 at the ShelbyCounty Fairgrounds. It will be the 34thannual event, which has been held formany years at the Allen County Fair-grounds in Lima.LeRoy Roby, who along with his wife,

Sandy, is the promoter for the event, saidabout 2,500 cars from the United Statesand Canada are expected. In addition tothe thousands of car owners and theirfamilies who will attend, another 4,000or so spectators will show up, Roby said,based on the numbers he saw in AllenCounty. He said there may be more spec-tators here because it’s closer to Dayton.The car show was held for 18 years in

Indiana, then moved to Lima, but a con-

flict with another event scheduled at theAllen County Fairgrounds at the sametime this year forced Roby to seek a newsite.Roby said he checked other fair-

grounds, but “decided on Shelby County.It was set up better.”“He wants a fairgrounds that is close

to the interstate,” said Jerry Schaffner,secretary of the Shelby County Fair. “Weare.”“We love people to look at our cars,”

said Roby, who stressed that it is a fam-ily-friendly, alcohol-free event. Other at-tractions will include a craft show, swapmeet, food vendors, antique midget autoracing and golf cart drag pull.“I am trying to get the lawnmower

races started,” Roby said. “For the kidsI’m trying to get a clown or two, plus acoloring contest, hot wheel races. … Inthe grandstand Saturday night, we havethe burnout contest,muffler rapping con-test, and the flamethrowing contest. Wealso do the best horn contest, best licenseplate nickname, best car mural and bestneon contest.“I usually have two bands, one on Fri-

day night and one on Saturday afternoon,

Snider, 34, left two children,a son, Joe, 13, and a daughter,Angie, 9.Her family has objected to

Crider’s release each time hecame up for parole, most re-cently posting an online peti-tion to stop his release.“We feel it was a great in-

justice,” her daughter, AngieSnider-Cotrell, said Thursdayafternoon. “With him being aperson without a conscience, Ipersonally think it won’t belong before he does somethingagain,” she said.“I feel we’ve done every-

thing we can do to keep him inprison as long as we could,” shesaid. “It’s in God’s hands now. Ipray for the community.”Snider-Cotrell said she

made a statement at the hear-ing, which also was attendedby her aunt, Faye Hall (Re-becca Snider’s sister).During a recent interview,

Snider-Cotrell said she keeps aphoto of her late mother on atelevision stand. She and herhusband, Sam, have twodaughters, ages 4 and 6. Shesaid she tells her children that

JOE HINRICHS, Ford’s President of the Americas, announces plans to buildthe 2.0-liter EcoBoost engine at the Ford Cleveland Engine Plant Thursday inBrook Park, Ohio. Ford is moving production of a popular small engine fromSpain to Cleveland as sales of four-cylinder motors continue to rise.

Ford boosts America’ssmall-engine productionBROOK PARK (AP)

— Ford is preparing for aday in the near futurewhen a small four-cylin-der engine will be themotor of choice in most ofits vehicles, perhaps evenin pickup trucks.Demand for the com-

pany’s 2-Liter tur-bocharged engine isgrowing so fast in NorthAmerica that Ford an-nounced plans Thursdayto start building the en-gine late next year at afactory in Brook Park,Ohio, near Cleveland.Currently it’s importingthe motors from a factoryin Valencia, Spain.The Brook Park plant

now employs about 1,300people who make V-6 en-gines for the F-Seriespickup truck, the mostpopular vehicle in Amer-ica.Ford plans a $200 mil-

lion investment in theplant and promises 450more jobs, the halfwaypoint in a Ford hiring

spurt that will total12,000 U.S. hourly jobsby 2015. But few thinkthat the hiring will stopat 450, as the companyand its customers look tosmaller “EcoBoost” tur-bocharged engines tofight high gas prices andcomply with more strin-gent government fueleconomy regulations.Demand for the 2-

Liter turbochargedmotorhas exceeded Ford’s ex-pectations, Joe Hinrichs,the company’s new presi-dent for the Americas,said after making the an-nouncement. “You neverknow when that’s goingto go further, because theproducts it’s going to gointo are some of our best-selling cars.”Plus, U.S. auto sales

are growing. Industry an-alysts predict about 15.3million cars and truckswill be sold this year, up800,000 from last year.It’s far higher than in2009, when frozen credit

and high unemploymentcut sales to 10.4 million,a three-decade low.More customers are

choosing turbochargedsmaller engines as Fordand other manufacturersoffer them in more mod-els. The engines get bet-ter gas mileage thansix-cylinder motors. Andthe turbochargers givethem more power whenneeded. In the U.S., newvehicles will have to av-erage 54.5 miles per gal-lon by 2025, twice theroughly 27 mpg they gettoday.Ford offered the 2-

Liter EcoBoost engine in2011 on its Edge and Ex-plorer SUVs in the U.S.Last year it added thenew Escape small SUV,the Taurus large sedan,the Fusion midsizesedan and a high-perfor-mance version of theFocus compact to the list.This year the LincolnMKZ midsize luxury caralso has it.

Gee recommends OSU tuition freezeCOLUMBUS (AP) — Ohio State

University’s president wants tofreeze tuition and fees for studentsthis fall.E. Gordon Gee (gee) told state law-

makers Wednesday that he’ll recom-mend to the university’s board oftrustees that tuition and fees remainstable to make OSU more affordable.The board will vote on it April 5.Board chairman Robert H. Schot-

tenstein said in a written statementthat the board “will seriously con-

sider this recommendation.”The Columbus Dispatch reports

that undergraduate tuition for in-state students at the Columbus cam-pus is currently $10,037. Gee said hedidn’t know if campus officials wouldrecommend a room-and-board in-crease.Gee said Ohio State is able to

freeze tuition at a time of diminishedstate funding and uncertain federaldollars because it has looked forother revenue.

Police: Landlord whippedtardy-paying tenant

WAYNESVILLE (AP)— An Ohio landlord isaccused of whipping atenant with a belt on hisbare buttocks for fallingbehind on his rent.Ron Kronenberger, 53,

was charged with as-sault for the Jan. 22 en-counter in his office,police in the village ofWaynesville said. Hewas due in court Thurs-day in Warren County.Police said the tenant,

29, was late with a

$2,800 rent payment.“If you’re going to act

like a child, I’m going totreat you like one,” Kro-nenberger was quoted inthe police report astelling the tenant beforestriking him four timeswith a belt. The reportsaid the belt left “littlemarks.”Waynesville Police

Chief Gary Copelandtalked to the accuser,who reportedly told himhe submitted to the

whipping because “hewas scared and justwanted to get it overwith,” according to thepolice report.The Dayton Daily

News (http://bit.ly/Yn-FeWC ) reported thatKronenberger is a for-mer chamber of com-merce president whowas Waynesville’s “Citi-zen of the Year” for 2006.His home phone wasn’taccepting messagesThursday.

Businesses nervouslyawait furloughs at baseDAYTON (AP) — Up

to 13,000 civilian em-ployees at Ohio’s largestmilitary installationcould face furloughs ifdefense spending cutskick in as scheduledMarch 1 and that hasbusiness owners andpublic officials in sur-rounding communitiesworried about their bot-tom lines.Scheduled cuts in de-

fense spending — partof the so-called se-quester that’s subject ofa standoff between De-mocrats and Republi-cans in Washington —could have a significanteffect on the communi-ties around Wright-Pat-terson Air Force Basenear Dayton. DefenseSecretary Leon Panettatold Congress this weekhe may have to fur-lough civilian workersif the cuts aren’taverted.ForWright-Patterson,

that could be as many as13,000 civilian employ-ees for 22 days begin-ning in April. Baseofficials said no determi-nation has been made onwhether the days wouldbe consecutive or oneday a week through theend of the fiscal year, butfurloughs would amount

to about a 20 percentpay cut.And officials andbusiness owners in theneighboring cities ofFairborn and Riversideare worried about whatit means for them.“It makes me very

nervous,” Tony Spaziani,owner of Giovanni’sPizzeria e RistoranteItaliano in Fairborn, toldthe Dayton Daily News.“This is trickle-down dis-aster.”He said regular cus-

tomers who work at thebase have been tellinghim that they plan tobring their own mealsrather than eat out ifthey are furloughed.John Zavakos, owner

of Tickets Pub & Eateryin Fairborn, saysWright-Patterson employeesmake up 75 percent ofthe lunch crowd at hisbusiness and “it’s veryhuge.”Fairborn’s economic

development directorsaid the impact will af-fect the whole region.“The thing with our

military base, it’s a verylarge and well-inte-grated regional facility,”development directorChris Wimsatt said. “Itdoesn’t hurt one commu-nity. It hurts a lot ofcommunities.”

The Pentagon agrees,having projected thatthe automatic spendingcuts this year could havea negative impact of$165 million on Ohio’seconomy.The city of Riverside

expects it may lose$60,000 in income taxrevenue this year if thefurloughs happen, butthat number couldchange depending onwhich employees are im-pacted, Riverside CityManager Bryan Chod-kowski said.Retail businesses also

are going to feel the ef-fects of any furloughs,Chodkowski said.Vicki Fox, manager of

a costume store in Fair-born, said there is noquestion that downtownbusinesses there will feelthe effects of any cuts.“A lot of base employ-

ees and civilian contrac-tors patronize thedowntown establish-ments, whether itsrestaurants or storeslike this one,” Fox said.“It will just depend onhow many employeesare affected.”Defense officials have

said that civilian em-ployees could be notifiedof any pending furloughsby mid-March.

TOLEDO (AP) — A court in Ohiohas again upheld the conviction of aRoman Catholic priest sent to prisonnearly seven years ago for killing anun.The state appeals court in Toledo

rejected Rev. Gerald Robinson’s re-quest for a new trial.The priest’s attorney says police re-

ports discovered after his trial couldhave changed the outcome of the case.

Robinson was convicted in 2006 ofkilling of Sister Margaret Ann Pahlinside a hospital chapel back in 1980.The two worked together at the

hospital and Robinson presided at thenun’s funeral. He wasn’t charged until24 years later.Robinson is now serving a sentence

DAMASCUS, Syria (AP)—A car bombexploded Thursday near Syria’s rulingparty headquarters in Damascus, killingat least 53 people and scatteringmangledbodies among the blazing wreckage in oneof the bloodiest days in the capital sincethe uprising began almost two years ago.Elsewhere in the city, two other bombs

struck intelligence offices, killing 22, andmortar rounds hit the army’s central com-mand, activists said.Recent rebel advances in the Damas-

cus suburbs, combined with the bombingsand three straight days of mortar attacks,

mark the most sustained challenge of thecivil war for control of the seat of Presi-dent Bashar Assad’s power.Syrian state media said the car bomb-

ing near the Baath Party headquartersand the Russian Embassy was a suicideattack that killed 53 civilians andwounded more than 200, with childrenamong the casualties. Anti-regime ac-tivists put the death toll at 61, whichwould make it the deadliest Damascusbombing of the revolt.The violence has shattered the sense of

normalcy that the Syrian regime has des-

perately tried to maintain in Damascus,a city that has largely been insulatedfrom the bloodshed and destruction thathas left other urban centers in ruins.The rebels launched an offensive on

Damascus in July following a stunningbombing on a high-level government cri-sis meeting that killed four top regime of-ficials, including Assad’s brother-in-lawand the defense minister. Following thatattack, rebel groups that had establishedfootholds in the suburbs pushed in, bat-tling government forces for more than aweek before being routed and swept out.

Okla., said the winter stormwould be centered in theupper Midwest by Fridaymorning.“Even across Kansas, the

snowfall rates should continueto taper off through theevening,” Mead said.The system left behind im-

pressive snow accumulations,especially in western Kansas,where 17 inches fell in Hays.Several accidents and two

deaths were blamed on icy andslushy roadways; two peopledied in crashes Wednesday.Most schools in Kansas andMissouri, and many in neigh-boring states, were closedThursday and legislaturesshut down in Kansas, Mis-souri, Arkansas, Nebraskaand Iowa.National Weather Service

meteorologist Scott Truettsaid it was “pouring snow” ear-lier Thursday, with it falling ata rate of 2 inches per hour ormore in some spots.Topeka, Kan., got 3 inches

of snow in a 30-minute period,leaving medical center workerJennifer Carlock to dread thedrive home.“It came on fast,” Carlock

said as she shoveled aroundher car. “We’re going to testout traction control on the wayhome.”Snow totals passed the foot

mark in many places: theKansas cities of Hutchinson,Macksville and Hanston allsaw 14 inches, and Wichita,Kan., had 13 inches. A fewplaces in far northern Okla-homa saw between 10 to 13inches of snow. Missouri’sbiggest snow total was 10inches, shared by the KansasCity metropolitan area, Rock-port in the northwest cornerand Moberly in the centralpart of the state.Transportation officials in

affected states urged people to

simply stay home.“If you don’t have to get out,

just really, please, don’t do it,”Kansas Gov. Sam Brownbacksaid. Interstate 70 throughKansas was snow-packed, anda 200-mile stretch betweenSalina and Colby was closed.In Iowa, visibility was down

to a quarter- to a half-mile onsome southern and centralIowa roads, the state Depart-ment of Transportation saidearly Thursday evening.Driving in the region’s

cities wasn’t much better.Richard Monroe, 27, technol-ogy manager and marketingrepresentative for the Mis-souri State University book-store in Springfield, and eightof his colleagues arrived inKansas City, Mo., on Wednes-day for a conference.He said a shuttle bus that

was taking participants fromthe Weston Crown Centerhotel to Bartle Hall, about fiveminutes away, got stuck in thesnow and then ran into atruck. The vehicle was inca-pacitated for nearly two hours.“We saw today that Kansas

City is just shut down. I’venever seen a big city like thiswhere nothing is moving,”Monroe said.But some people came

down with cabin fever, likeJennifer McCoy of Wichita,Kan. She loaded her nine chil-dren — ages 6 months to 16years — in a van for lunch atApplebee’s.“I was going crazy, they

were so whiny,” McCoy said.Cases of wine and beer —

as well as bottles of scotch andwhiskey — were flying off theshelves at Ingersoll Wine andSpirits ahead of the storm’sarrival in Des Moines, Iowa.“A lot of people have been

buying liquor to curl up by thefire,” wine specialist BjornCarlson said.

SNOW From Page 1

JOLIET, Ill. (AP) — DrewPeterson — the swaggeringChicago-area police officerwho gained notoriety after hismuch-younger fourth wifevanished in 2007 — was sen-tenced to 38 years in prison onThursday for murdering histhird wife.The sentence came mo-

ments after Peterson shockedthe courtroom with a rarepublic outburst of anger as heproclaimed his innocence inthe death of Kathleen Savio.“I did not kill Kathleen!” he

shouted at the top of hislungs, emphasizing everyword.Peterson seemed to look

across the courtroom atSavio’s family. Savio’s sisterSusan Doman shot back “Yes,you did. You liar!” before thejudge ordered sheriff ’sdeputies to remove her fromthe courtroom.Illinois does not have the

death penalty, and the 59-

year-old Peterson had faced amaximum 60-year prisonterm.The judge gave him fouryears’ credit for time he hasserved since his arrest.Jurors convicted Peterson

in September in Savio’s 2004death. Neighbors found the40-year-old’s body in a drybathtub at home with a gashon her head — her hairsoaked in blood.Peterson is also a suspect

in the disappearance of StacyPeterson — who was 23-years-old when she vanished— but he hasn’t been chargedin her case. It was her disap-pearance that led authoritiesto take another look at Savio’sdeath and eventually reclas-sify it from an accident to ahomicide.Fascination nationwide

with Drew Peterson arosefrom speculation he sought touse his law enforcement ex-pertise to get away with mur-der.

Tipsheetfound in MaliTIMBUKTU, Mali (AP) —

One of the last things thebearded fighters did beforeleaving this city was to driveto the market where traderslay their carpets out in thesand.The al-Qaida extremists by-

passed the brightly colored,high-end synthetic floor cover-ings and stopped their pickuptruck in front of a man sellingmore modest mats woven fromdesert grass, priced at $1.40apiece. There they bought twobales of 25 mats each, andasked him to bundle them ontop of the car, along with astack of sticks.“It’s the first time someone

has bought such a largeamount,” said the mat seller,Leitny Cisse al-Djoumat.“They didn’t explain why theywanted so many.”Military officials can tell

why: The fighters are stretch-ing the mats across the tops oftheir cars on poles to form nat-ural carports, so that dronescannot detect them from theair.The instruction to camou-

flage cars is one of 22 tips onhow to avoid drones, listed ona document left behind by theIslamic extremists as they flednorthern Mali from a Frenchmilitary intervention lastmonth. A Xeroxed copy of thedocument, which was firstpublished on a jihadist forumtwo years ago, was found byThe Associated Press in amanila envelope on the floor ofa building here occupied by al-Qaida of the Islamic Maghreb.

9 percent effective in those 65and older against the harshstrain of the flu that is pre-dominant this season, theCenters for Disease Controland Prevention said Thurs-day.Health officials are baffled

as to why this is so. But thefindings help explain why somany older people have beenhospitalized with the flu thisyear.Despite the findings, the

CDC stood by its recommen-

dation that everyone over 6months get flu shots, the eld-erly included, because someprotection is better than none,and because those who arevaccinated and still get sickmay suffer less severe symp-toms.“Year in and year out, the

vaccine is the best protectionwe have,” said CDC flu expertDr. Joseph Bresee.Overall, across the age

groups studied, the vaccine’seffectiveness was found to bea moderate 56 percent, whichmeans those who got a shothave a 56 percent lowerchance of winding up at thedoctor with the flu. That issomewhat worse than what

has been seen in other years.For those 65 and older, the

vaccine was only 27 percenteffective against the threestrains it is designed to pro-tect against, the worst level inabout a decade. It did a par-ticularly poor job against thetough strain that is causingmore than three-quarters ofthe illnesses this year.It is well known that flu

vaccine tends to protectyounger people better thanolder ones. Elderly peoplehave weaker immune systemsthat don’t respond as well toflu shots, and they are morevulnerable to the illness andits complications, includingpneumonia.

Police replace investigatorPRETORIA, South Africa (AP) — South African police ap-

pointed a new chief investigator Thursday in the Oscar Pisto-rius murder case, replacing a veteran detective after unsettlingrevelations that the officer was charged with seven counts ofattempted murder.The sensational twist in the state’s troubled investigation

fueled growing public fascination with the case against the dou-ble-amputee Olympian,who is charged with premeditatedmur-der in the Valentine’s Day slaying of his girlfriend, ReevaSteenkamp.Pistorius, a sporting icon and source of inspiration to mil-

lions until the shooting last week, is backed by a high-poweredteam of lawyers and publicists. The abruptness of his fall, andits gruesome circumstances, have gripped a global audience andput South Africa’s police and judicial system under the spot-light.The man at the center of the storm sat in the dock during

his bail hearing, mostly keeping his composure in contrast toslumped-over outbursts of weeping on previous days in court.

IN THIS Tuesday photo, Carlos Maisonet, 73, reacts as Dr. Eva Berrios-Colon, a professor atTouro College of Pharmacy, injects him with flu vaccine during a visit to the faculty practicecenter at Brooklyn Hospital in New York. Health officials said Thursday this season’s flu shotwas only 9 percent effective in protecting seniors against the most common and dangerousflu bug. Flu vaccine tends to protect younger people better than older ones and is never 100percent effective. But experts say the preliminary results are disappointing and highlight theneed for a better vaccine.

Freytag leads tour throughSidney historic architectureBY RACHEL LLOYD

rlloyd@civitasmedia.com

Sidney architect JohnFreytag shared some ofthe history and influenceof downtown Sidney ar-chitecture during thefirst installment of Sid-ney Altrusa Club’s an-nual luncheonEnrichment SeriesThursday.

Sidney’s architecturaldevelopment was influ-enced more than any-thing by transportation,according to Freytag,part-owner of Freytag &Associates, Archi-tects/Engineers. Theevolution of transporta-tion was key to the de-velopment of the varietyof architectural stylesthat still exist in down-town Sidney today.

“Sidney is really un-matched in westernOhio (in architecturalvariety) because of theCourtsquare,” Freytagsaid, as he led thelunchtime gatheringthrough a PowerPointpresentation of historicand modern photos, in-terspersed with architec-tural and historicalfacts.

The architecturalstyle in Sidney’s earlydays was influenced bythe presence of the canalfeeder flowing throughtown. Buildings of theFederal style, an off-shoot of Colonial style,grew up in those days,Freytag said. The stylewas very rectangularand simple, and it domi-nated new constructionin the area from about1837 to 1850.

In 1851 came the rail-road boom in Sidney, andwith it came the GreekRevival style to down-town, featuring pedi-mented gables andcolumns. The Italianatestyle, featuring low-pitched roofs with pro-

jecting eaves and cupo-las, became hugely pop-ular around that time aswell, as can be seen inthe Burkhart Block andthe old sheriff ’s office/jaildowntown.

From 1873 to 1890came a building boom indowntown Sidney, Frey-tag said, with 32 build-ings being constructed atthat time.

More buildings of theFrench Second Empireappeared during this pe-riod. Downtown exam-ples of the style includethe Taylor Building, thathad to be razed in 2011because of severe struc-tural deterioration, andthe Courthouse itself.

Freytag noted thatSidney’s downtown evenfeatures a prominent ex-ample of Spanish Mis-sion style architecture,which is a far more com-mon sight in areas suchas California and theSouthwest. He clarified,though, that SidneyFirst United MethodistChurch was originallybuilt in Gothic style.

A prominent exampleof Victorian Gothic stylethat remains downtownis the MonumentalBuilding, which was re-cently restored. Thestyle, while beautifuland ornate, was never aspopular as Greek Re-vival or Italianate, Frey-tag said.

The next architec-tural trend to touchdowntown was Ro-manesque, in which thearch was a dominantfeature. Freytag showedthe style in a photo theold county steam build-ing, which had stood be-hind the old sheriff ’soffice downtown.

Another building eracame from 1910 to 1918,when 12 new buildingsappeared downtown. Itwas a new and modernage, showcased by suchdesign as Louis Sulli-van’s distinctly ornatePeople’s Federal Savingsand Loan Building andthe Art Moderne style ofThe Spot.

The Neo-Classical Re-vival style, reflecting

back to Greek Revival,showed itself in the solidlines of the current Ed-ward Jones building,while the Georgian Re-vival style can be seen intoday’s ReMax One Re-alty offices.

The Altrusa Enrich-ment Series will con-tinue March 21 withspeaker Sheriff JohnLenhart and wraps upApril 18 with local attor-ney and historian RichWallace.

The luncheon semi-nars are catered by TheSpot and held at St.Paul’s United Church ofChrist, 707 N. Ohio Ave.,from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Co-sponsored by Soll-mann Electric Co. andReMax One Realty, tick-ets are $20 for each sem-inar and may bepurchased from any Al-trusa member or at CRFrame Gallery, 1406 N.Fourth Ave, and School’sLocker Stocker, 126 E.Poplar St.

Altrusa Internationalis a nonprofit service or-ganization with specialinterest in literacy. TheSidney club engages inmany philanthropic andservice enterprises oflocal benefit with a spe-cial interest in scholar-ships for highereducation for deservinglocal students.

LOCALIFE Sidney Daily News, Friday, February 22, 2013 Page 7

The schoolwill have Fridayand Monday offfor a mid-winterbreak. Today isValentine’s Day,so the elemen-tary classes arehaving theirparty. Lastnight Joseph,10, Lovina, 8,and Kevin, 7,signed all theircards to their class-mates. This is Joseph’slast year in elementaryschool, so this is lastValentine’s party.

We headed out forthe two-hour trip toBerne, Ind., on Satur-day at around 7:15 a.m.We have set our hiredvan driver to be herearound 6:30 a.m. He gotout of his van and some-how left his keys lockedinside. His son broughta spare pair, and wewere on our way 45minutes later. Nine outof the 12 siblings wereat Joe’s sister’s housefor the late familyChristmas gathering.There was more thanenough food for the10:30 a.m. carry-inbrunch. Snacks wereserved later on in theday. After we left thegathering on Saturday,we drove in to the placewe used to live beforewe moved to Michiganalmost nine years ago.

From there westopped in at the home-

place where Ilived until afterdaughters Eliz-abeth andSusan wereborn.The familythat lived therenow was kindenough to offerus to go insidethe house. Wewere runningshort on time sowe decided not

to. The three oldestdaughters seem to re-member the most of theplace. It brought back alot of memories but thesaying proves true that“home is where the heartis.” We stopped in for ashort visit with sisterLiz and Levi. Fromthere, we headed tobrother Amos andNancy’s house. Amos isrecovering from bronchi-tis. In the van accidenton Jan. 9, he had badlybruised lungs. Thatseems to make it harderto get rid of his cough.He hasn’t been back towork since the accidentbut wants to go soon.

It is difficult for Amosnot to be able to go towork. The results for the23-year-old boy who wasin the accident are betterthan they first thought.He does have some feel-ing in his feet and one ofhis thighs. He is doingbetter than the doctorsthought he would. Wehope and pray he contin-ues to improve with

therapy. After we leftAmos’s house, westopped to see sisterLeah and Paul. Paul hadbeen scheduled to havehernia surgery lastweek. The doctor didn’tdo the surgery due toPaul’s blood pressure’sbeing high and signs ofweakness in his heart.He will need to havesome tests done on hisheart. Hopefully, every-thing will work out andgood health will be re-stored.

Last week, daughterSusan made monstercookies to take along tothe family gathering.Seeing the bag of M&Msbrought back a lot ofmemories of myGrandpa Coblentz.When we were little chil-dren, every time he cameto visit, he would bringus a bag of M&Ms toshare. We would be soexcited and evenly countthem into piles.We triedto make our piles last aslong as we could, savor-ing each morsel. Notonce do I see or tasteM&Ms without thinkingof Grandpa Coblentz.

We recently hadLoretta to the children’shospital where she hadsurgery on her feet lastfall. The doctors were re-ally pleased at how wellshe was doing. She cango six months withouther braces to see howshe does. Also, she isdoing all of her therapy

here at home now. Wepray her strength willkeep getting stronger,but we need to acceptwhatever God’s will is. Iwant to thank everyonefor prayers and encour-agement. It helps toknow others care. God’sblessings to all.

Daughter Verenamade this pudding lastnight as a treat for usall. Sister Emma alwaysprepared this pudding alot and our family al-ways enjoys it.

OPINION

When Windywalked into theMule Barn dur-ing that coldsnap last week,we knew hewas gettingfrantic for anaudience. Hehas a hard timegetting us to listen tohis version of history,his notions of what wasgoing on now, and hisprognostications of thefuture of mankind.

But it was cold, andsitting out on the benchand ambushing listen-ers didn’t work too wellright now for WindyWilson, so here he came.We gave each other thewink and dragged out achair for him.

“What d’you know,Windy? Cold enough forya?”

“Cold? You think thisis cold? Why, one timeup on the high line, Iwas disappropriatingfirewood for the crew onthe railroad, and itcome over me, then andthere …”

“We weren’t talkingabout the cold thismorning,Windy,” saidDoc. “We were dis-cussing the future ofmicrobes.”

“Microbes? Ain’t theylike choir robes? Why,this one time I wassinging barleytone inthe Presbytoolianchurch, and there wasthis guy named Mike allright, and …”

“Now Doc,” saidSteve, twitching hiswalrus mustache, “Don’tyou remember? We’dfinished with the mi-crobes and went sailingon into February. Sorry,Windy, Doc didn’t meanto disrupticate your dis-semination of events,but he’d just forgot. Itwas February.”

“February?You mean likeLeap Yearkinda Februaryparaphernal-ium where youonly get oldenon one dayevery fouryears? That

kinda February?”Dud and Herb were

“No, Alphonse,” Docsaid. He sometimes gotformal with our friend.“We were discussingwhether or not to leaveout the first r in Febru-ary. No one uses it …”

“But just becausesomething isn’t used,”Windy said, waving hisempty coffee cup atMavis, “doesn’t meanwe have to completelyimmolify it, does it? Ifwe occasionally sloopover the top of a letter,that doesn’t braggan-dize it. That doesn’t cod-ify its lesserness, doesit?”

“So you’re saying weshould keep the first rin February, is that it?”asked Steve.

“Absotively,” saidWindy.

“OK, now,” Doc said,“who will stand up forthe h in school?”

It’s Black HistoryMonth again. As an “old”journalist, I’ve writtenthis story quite a fewtimes. I’d like to tell youthat black history is aninspirational narrativeabout societal accept-ance and positivechange, but often it’snot. Sadly, it’s more of aone step forward andtwo steps back kind ofprogression. Althoughsometimes it’s been theother way around.

“The ASALH (Associ-ation for the Study of AfricanAmerican Life and History) hasdedicated … the 2013 AnnualBlack History Theme to celebrat-ing the anniversary of two im-portant African Americanturning points — the 1863Emancipation Proclamation andthe 1963 March on Washington,”according to the Davenport Uni-versity Library Services.

Famous speechIn explanation, on Aug. 28,

1963, approximately a quarter ofa million people gathered inWashington, D.C. There are his-torical photos of Dr. MartinLuther King Jr. waving to thehuge crowd. That summer day,the Lincoln Memorial audienceheard the civil rights leadershare his famous “I Have aDream” speech. Dr. King spokepassionately about his vision ofan America where one day in thefuture, his children would “…not be judged by the color oftheir skin but by the content oftheir character.”

I thought about the progressionof racial equality, while celebrat-ing Dr.Martin Luther King Jr.Day last month at the Mount ZionHoly Union Church of God in Sid-ney. Sponsored by the ShelbyCounty Ministerial Associationand organized by the Rev. PhilChilcote, the Rev. Dr. Ervin Smith,of Columbus, was the keynotespeaker. I listened as 73-year-oldSmith, an emeritus professor of

Christian Ethics atMethesco, a MethodistSeminary, explainedwhat segregation inGeorgia looked like in hisyouth. He couldn’t go intothe main library, restau-rants, get the same med-ical treatment, or drinkout of the same drinkingfountains as whites,solely because of beingblack. Eventually, thescholar authored his ownbooks, including “TheEthics of Martin LutherKing Jr.” and “Black The-

ology: Toward an InclusiveChurch,” among others. Segrega-tion affected Smith’s choice of acollege as well. “I couldn’t go tothe University of Georgia …couldn’t go to Georgia Tech.Why? Because of the color of myskin,” he said.When the educa-tor who obtained his Ph.D. fromNorthwestern University in Illi-nois moved to Delaware, Ohio, in1971, he thought he had escapedsegregation. Yet he met a differ-ent kind of segregation in theNorth.

Identify with storyBishop Ernest Wilson, pastor

at Mount Zion, says that hecould identify with Dr. Smith’sstory. After all, he was “reared inAlabama.” He said, “I’ve beenhere (in Sidney) 52 years, but Iremember where I came from.”For Bishop Wilson many of thosememories are painful. While ob-serving MLK Jr. Day he sharedsome accounts of his early years.“I would talk to my mom … Ican’t go around here saying, ‘Yes,Sir’ and they calling me a boy,”said the Rev.Wilson. The 72-year-old minister told of seriousinjustices when he was teenager.Like seeing a friend stabbed forno reason, who “walked to thedoctor’s offices with his intes-tines in his hands, only becausehe was black.” Bishop Wilsonshared a poignant messageabout equality, offering the defi-nition, “Equality, the state or

quality of being equal … we justwanted to be treated fairly,” hesaid. “One of the great decep-tions I had 52 years ago when Icame to Shelby County … (I)was really surprised some thingsgoing on here (concerningracism). Thought I was leavingthose things behind,” said thelocal pastor.

During the ’60s, he found outthat blacks could only live in cer-tain neighborhoods, and thatthere were still local businesseswhere he couldn’t get service. Ilistened as both older men por-trayed growing up in the segre-gated south. Escaping to theMidwest, they believed theywould be accepted for who theywere. Although often they weremet with a subtle segregation,that was a difficult enemy tocombat.

Shameful historyI have written about this

shameful history of the Northbefore, because it did not happenonly in Shelby County, but mosteverywhere. African-Americansfled the South seeking accept-ance, and oftentimes they founda subtler, but still painful segre-gation. Maybe some folks wouldsay, it’s over and we should justforget it. Yet to paraphrase thewise words of the late Holocaustsurvivor, Elisabeth Sondheimer,of Lima, “If we simply bury thepast, we are likely to repeat it.”

Instead, “We’ve got to do bet-ter,” urged Bishop Wilson. “Fiftyyears after Dr. King made thespeech I’m finding out …We’vegot to do better.”

But how can we? Dr. ErvinSmith believes there is a remedyto the racism that seeks to destroycommunities. The retired educatorsaid, (We have) “got to work withour children, work with eachother … until we all see eachother as children of God.”

Windy seeks anaudience atMule Barn

To the editor:Hopefully the knee-jerk reaction

to the events in Connecticut havesubsided and we may view gun-con-trol objectively. Again, our presidentis lying when he says his objective isnot confiscation of firearms when heis conferring on a global gun ban.

How has banning firearms workedin the past? Let’s review a few. “Thisyear will go down in history. For thefirst time, a civilized nation has fullgun registration! Our streets will besafer, our police more efficient andthe world will follow our lead intothe future.” (Adolph Hitler, 1935).Worked real well for him when hetook Czechoslovakia with hardly ashot being fired.

Great Britain: I’m told that mur-ders are down but other crimes haveskyrocketed. Bobbies used to onlycarry nightsticks, now they have topack heat for their own protection.Shortly after that gun ban I read of afarmer who lost his 80-acre farmfrom violating the law; is this whatwe want?

I understand the perpetrators ofthe Columbine massacre violated 21laws.Would a dozen more make itless repugnant? The administration’sproposals are asinine to say theleast, especially since we can’t en-force the statutes already on thebooks.

Let’s get real. We are living in asociety that is sick; time-honoredvirtues and values are passe andanything goes. The overworkedcliche, “Guns don’t kill, people kill,” isstill valid. I, for one, am curious as towhat mind-altering drugs may havebeen prescribed for these kids asthey were growing up. And on theaforementioned global gun ban, theadministration’s collaborating on,can you imagine any Muslim turningin their AK47?

If you consider the above merelybalderdash, ponder this: How securewill you feel when only the military,the constabulary and the criminalshave firearms?

ness was the reading ofthe 4-H Constitution, andall members signed.Next,members signed up towork shifts at the 4-H/FFA ScholarshipBreakfast on March 3from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. atJackson Center Schooland also volunteered tobring breakfastcasseroles.

DR. WAL-LACE: I am afaithful readerof your column.I almost alwaysagree with whatyou say, which iswhy I’m askingmy question. Iwould like toknow how youovercome shy-ness. I am veryshy and wouldlike to breakaway from this condi-tion.I read in one of your

letters about how to talkto a shy person, but canyou tell me how to talkwhen you ARE a shyperson? I’m upset that Ihave this problem, and Iget told all the time thatI should change myways, but I can’t. I wouldappreciate any thoughtson how to overcome shy-ness! — Nameless,Boston, Mass.

NAMELESS: Shy-ness stems from a lack ofself-esteem. Shy peoplefeel inferior to othersand instinctively avoidpersonal interaction.They fear failure somuch that they clam uprather than risk makinga mistake. And once thiskind of behavior be-comes entrenched, theylabel themselves as anti-social and expect to betongue-tied in social sit-uations. Their prison-like isolation becomes“normal.” But shynesscan be overcome! It maynot disappear overnight,but it can disappear. Toovercome shyness, it isimportant to take oneday at a time. See eachday as an opportunity toexperiment. Begin witheye contact. In social sit-uations, when you mustreact to another individ-ual, look the personsquarely in the eye.Mostshy people hang theirhead down or look away,even when they’re talk-ing. Next, take a deepbreath if necessary andrelax. Ask the other per-son questions. Most peo-ple enjoy answeringthem, and it gives you achance to respond andkeep the conversation

going. Keep asmile on yourface as much aspossible. Again,people enjoybeing withsomeone who ispleasant and re-sponsive. Asmile puts oth-ers at theirease.Your deter-

mination toovercome your

shyness is the very firststep in doing so. Don’tget discouraged anddon’t expect to becomeglib and perfectly poisedin a day, a week or amonth. Just keep prac-ticing every day to be-come more social andgradually you will findself-confidence. Write tome again soon, and letme know your progress.

DR. WALLACE: I’mnot a real good athlete,but I try. I went out for

the football team, and Iwent out for the basket-ball team this year. Butboth times, the coaches“cut”me from the squadsbecause of a lack of tal-ent.How am I ever going

to get better if I can’tpractice and improve myskills? Do you thinkcoaches should cut(drop) players who lackadvanced ability? —Jerry, Evansville, Ind.

JERRY: Basketballteams must drop un-skilled players mainlybecause of a limitedpractice area and thefact that only five play-ers constitute a startingteam. Not so for football.Teams start 11 playerson offense and 11 moreon defense and practicein the great outdoorslarge enough to growwheat or corn. Footballcoaches should never cutany player unless fordisciplinary reasons.

Treating non-cancer pain

Fraud investigator mortified by wife’s arrest for fraud

DEAR DR.ROACH: I wasdiagnosed withmultiple sclerosisthree years ago,and I seem tohave the worst,most aggressivetype of the dis-ease. I receive IVsteroid treatmentand prednisonethat relieves myleg pain, but therelief lasts only amonth. I have tolimit my activities, whichhas significantly changedmy mood and outlook to-ward life. My MS doctorhas prescribed a myriadof drugs for depression,inflammation and pain,most of which I refusedbecause I do not want tolive under the vice of ahundred pills a day. Theone pain medication Iagreed to try was mor-phine. This allowed me togo about my daily activi-ties almost theway I lived

my life before theMS. The problemis my doctor re-fuses to continueto prescribepainkillers, sayingshe doesn’t wantto further compli-cate the constipa-tion most peoplewith MS dealwith. I am willingto take any med-ication necessaryfor constipation,but she won’t

budge. Should I deal withthe pain, or change doc-tors? — J.D.

ANSWER: Treatmentof non-cancer pain withpowerful narcotics likemorphine is a big issueright now in the medicalcommunity, with someadvocating never doing soat all, under any circum-stances. I understandyour doctor’s concernabout constipation,whichindeed can be a difficultproblem for MS patients

even without narcotics.However, I see your pointas well that constipationcan be treated, and itsounds as though themorphine has done verywell for you.This is the perfect situ-

ation for a consultationwith a pain specialist.Pain specialists have ex-pertise in managing dif-ferent kinds of pain aswell as complications oftheir side effects. Thatleaves your MS doctor todeal with your MS. Iwould recommend talk-ing to your MS doctorabout consultation with apain-management spe-cialist.

DEAR DR. ROACH:In your opinion,which ex-ercise is better — bikingor walking? Specifically,which burns more calo-ries? —W.B.

ANSWER:Any kind ofexercise is better than noexercise, and I recom-

mend people do whateverkind of exercise they likeand that is comfortablefor them.Walking is greatbecause it takes no spe-cial equipment, can bedone virtually anywhereand doesn’t put excessstress on the joints.Biking is great, too, be-

cause it puts even lessstress on the joints, al-though it may not helpthe bones stay as strongas does walking or, betteryet, jogging.However, bik-ing can be done at anylevel of intensity, from alow-intensity pedalaround the neighborhood,to maximum-intensitybike racing. Changing upyour exercises is a greatidea too.If you weigh 130

pounds,walking can burnoff 120-350 calories anhour. A slow bike ridemight burn 240 caloriesan hour, but a trainedbike racer might burn off1,000 calories per hour!

DEAR ABBY:My wife of sixyears was re-cently arrestedfor wire fraud,involving the re-ceipt of unem-p l o y m e n tbenefits. She wasreceiving moneywhen she shouldnot have been. Iknew she had ap-plied for benefitssince she was laid off;however, I was not awarethat she was falsifyingdocuments in order toreceive the benefits.I feel hurt, betrayed

and offended. I am a re-tired law enforcement of-ficer and currently anindependent fraud in-vestigator.Our relationship had

been on the rocks forsome time prior to thishumiliating event. How

do I handle thismess? — BE-TRAYED INFLORIDA

DEAR BE-TRAYED: Thefirst thing to dois realize thatyour wife’s indis-cretions are a re-flection only onher character, notyours.Then let the

law take its course, andonce you have cooled off,decide rationally if youwant to continue a mar-riage that has been “onthe rocks for some time.”

DEAR ABBY: Beforemy daughter turned 18,she followed the court’svisitation specifics, asher brother does. Nowthat she’s 18, she doesn’tcall or come over at all.She won’t answer phone

calls, so I text her. She’llrespond with one-wordanswers — “yes,” “no,””maybe.”It doesn’t bother me

that she chooses to livethis way. She’s an adult.I sent her money for herbirthday. She didn’t ac-knowledge it.If I text invitations to

her, I still don’t hearfrom her.She doesn’t go to col-

CINCINNATI REDS second baseman Brandon Phillips bunts during spring training baseball inGoodyear, Ariz., Monday.

GOODYEAR, Ariz. (AP) —Second baseman BrandonPhillips is embracing thechance to bat lower in theCincinnati Reds’ order.Phillips has been Cincin-

nati’s most versatile hitter,moving from spot to spotwhenever there’s been an in-jury. He’s led off a lot becausethe Reds haven’t had a proventop-of-the-order hitter. He’salso hit in the second, thirdand cleanup spots.The Reds acquired Shin-

Soo Choo from Cleveland inan offseason trade, givingthem someone to bat first.Now Phillips can move downa bit to a spot that fits himbetter. He says he likes bat-ting third best of all, but iswilling to move around ifneeded.“The player that will bene-

fit the most with Choo here isBrandon Phillips,” generalmanager Walt Jocketty said.“He has been all over thelineup and has been greatabout it, but we think his bestspot in the order is second.”Phillips has gotten used to

moving around in the battingorder and doesn’t mind wherehe hits. He prefers the No. 3spot.“If I could hit anywhere, I

would like to hit third like Idid in ‘07,” Phillips said. “I feellike I can do everything that Iwant to do. I feel like a totalballplayer. Also, you feel likeyou’re the man when you hitthird.”Phillips batted third just

17 times in 2007, hitting .239in that slot. He batted fourthin 81 games and hit .306. Heprefers that to batting sec-ond.

“When you bat second,you’ve got to get the guys over,there are a lot of hit-and-runs,” Phillips said. “You don’tget to steal that often. You’relike the setup man in thelineup.“Whatever they want me to

do to make the team better, I’lldo it. I just want to win.”Manager Dusty Baker and

his teammates have praisedPhillips for his willingness tomove around in the battingorder. Baker has referred tohim as his most valuableplayer for his versatility inthe batting order.Even though Phillips has

moved around in the battingorder, he has remained a pro-ductive hitter.“It’s good to see Dusty and

my teammates really respectthat,” Phillips said. “There arenot too many guys who can dowhat I do.”Phillips finds it difficult to

set individual goals, but he isquick to identify team goals.The Reds have won the NLCentral in two of the lastthree seasons, but failed tomake it past the first round ofthe playoffs.“I want to get to the next

round of the playoffs,” he said.“I want to start there. Ofcourse the goal every year isto win the ring, but I feel likeyou’ve got to take steps.“As for myself, it’s kind of

hard because every time Iset a goal, I have to changesomewhere in the battingorder. It’s kind of hard toreach those goals. Like oneyear I was trying to get 100RBIs when I hit fourth, thenI had to bat leadoff. Then Iwanted to score 100 runs

and they put me back tofourth.“There are so many things

that it’s hard to set goals formyself.”Phillips is getting ready to

represent the United Statesin the World Baseball Classic,something he’s called a dreamcome true.

Reds block Cuetofrom Classic

The Reds have blocked aceJohnny Cueto from pitchingfor the Dominican Republic innext month’s World BaseballClassic.Cueto strained his right

oblique eight pitches into lastOctober's division seriesagainst San Francisco. Be-cause he finished the yearwith an injury, the Reds hadthe right to block him fromplaying in the WBC.“I wanted to pitch for the

Dominican but the team saidno. It’s all right,” Cueto saidThursday. “I am going to workto get ready for the season. Iwas ready to pitch. I’m 100percent.”Cueto was 19-9 with a 2.78

ERA in 33 starts during theregular season“I’m not sure happy is the

right word. I’m more re-lieved,” manager Dusty Bakersaid. “I understand the pres-sure for the Latin player topitch for their country. If hewas a 10-game winner in-stead of a 19-game winner,there wouldn't be as muchpressure.”The Dominican Republic is

in Group C with Puerto Rico,Spain and Venezuela.“I will be watching the

Classic and rooting for the Do-minican,” Cueto said.

LEBANON — Troy tooksomething earlier this seasonthat the Sidney Lady Jacketshad their hearts set on — aGreaterWestern Ohio Confer-ence North basketball cham-pionship.Sidney could do nothing

about that, but the Lady Jack-ets have certainly done thenext best thing — twostraight wins over the LadyTrojans, including one Thurs-day that knocked them out ofDivision I postseason play.Sidney rolled up 21 points

in the opening quarter, thensettled in and played out-standing defense to hold offthe Lady Trojans 45-40 in theD-I Sectional semifinals atLebanon High School.The win puts Sidney at 15-

9 and into the sectional cham-pionship a week fromSaturday at Lebanon against21-1 Fairmont, which beatVandalia by 50 in Thursday’sfirst game.“We got off to a great start

again,” said Sidney coachMegan Mummey. “They cameout in a box-and-one on Kon-ner (Harris) but MoniqueHanayik stepped up andmade them pay. She drainedsome big shots in the first halffor us, and Konner still did agreat job of distributing theball and creating for herself.”The Lady Jackets sprinted

to a 21-11 lead after one quar-ter, but Troy cut the leaddown to three at the half at31-28.The second half saw very

little scoring, with Sidney out-pointing the Lady Trojans 14-12.“It was just a matter of nei-

ther team being able to hitshots in the second half,” said

Mummey. “Troy had fourchances in the fourth quarterwhen we were only up three,but we played incredible de-fense and got rebounds.”The Lady Jackets finally

put it away with :12 remain-ing when Lauren Elmoreshook off a hard foul andcalmly dropped in a pair offree throws to make it a five-point game.“The girls did a great job,

especially since we didn’tpractice against a zone allweek,” said Mummey. “Theyran man-to-man against uslast time, and we were espe-cially not prepared for a box-and-one. I was drawing upplays in the huddle and thegirls did what they needed todo.“It was a fantastic win,” she

added. “We split with themduring the regular season, butthey took the GWOC Northand that was one of our goals.Our girls were intense the en-tire game, whether we werehaving trouble scoring or not.”Harris led the Lady Jackets

with 16 and Hanayik added11.Sylvia Hudson pulled down

nine rebounds, and both Har-ris and Elmore had four as-sists apiece.

Daytona

DAYTONA BEACH,Fla. (AP) — Perfect sofar at Speedweeks,Kevin Harvick has posi-tioned himself as the fa-vorite to win theDaytona 500.It’s the last label he

wanted.“We like to be the

lame-duck underdog.That’s what we’re shoot-ing for,” Harvick said.Harvick won the first

Daytona 500 qualifyingrace on Thursday tomake it 2 for 2 at Day-tona InternationalSpeedway, where he alsowon an exhibition racelast weekend. It posi-tions Harvick, the 2007Daytona 500 winner, asa top contender in Sun-day’s season-opening“Great American Race.”It comes at a time

when Harvick has founda balance in his life withthe addition of son, Kee-lan, who was born lastJuly, and as he headsinto his final season withRichard Childress Rac-ing. Harvick has alreadydecided to move to Stew-art-Haas Racing in 2014.“We’ve been fortunate

to win the first two racesof Speedweeks. We’vejust got to keep a levelhead on our shoulders,not get too high overwhat we’ve done, just dothe same things that

we’ve done,” he said. “Ifit’s meant to be, it’smeant to be. I think wedefinitely have the carand team to be in con-tention to do that.”

Second duelKyle Busch won the

second duel to give Toy-ota its first victory ofSpeedweeks and snapChevrolet’s dominance.Harvick took the newChevrolet SS to VictoryLane twice, and DanicaPatrick put it on theDaytona 500 pole in timetrials.Busch held off Kasey

Kahne, in a Chevrolet,and learned the driverout front is in thestrongest position.“It’s hard to pass the

leader,” said Busch.“Stay out front. Whenyou get out front, youcan hold everyone off.”Kahne, who settled

for second, said timingwill be critical.“I don’t think waiting

‘til the last lap is theticket anymore,” Kahnesaid.Although he’s seen

Harvick dominate fortwo races now, Kahne be-lieves drivers are stillfiguring out NASCAR’snew Gen-6 car, the rightstrategy for Sunday —and watching Harvick.“I think Kevin looks

really good. I always

think Kevin is one of theguys to beat when wecome to Daytona,”Kahne said. “He’s gotthis place figured out. Ithink he can be beat,yeah. There’s a few of usin the second race whohad really good cars, andI could move around re-ally well, similar to whatHarvick did in the firstrace.”Held off BiffleIn the first race, Har-

vick held off Greg Biffleover a four-lap sprint towin his 150-mile duel,with the second raceheld later Thursday af-ternoon. Harvick andBiffle also went 1-2 inlast Saturday night’s ex-hibition race.The starting field for

the Daytona 500 is setby the results from thepair of 60-lap qualifiers,but Patrick held onto thepole by running a saferace in the first qualifier.The first woman to win apole at NASCAR’s toplevel, Patrick earned thetop starting spot in timetrials last weekend.She started first in

the first qualifier, raceda bit early, then fadedback to run a conserva-tive race and ensureshe’ll start first in the500.“I hate coming to the

end like that and just

lagging back,” she said.“That’s not fun. But it’salso really ignorant to godrive up into the packand be part of an acci-dent for absolutely noreason. You’re really notgoing to learn muchthere.”

Patrick 17thPatrick wound up

17th out of 23 cars.“What I really feel

like I need to do is godown to the Harvick busand see what he’s doing,”she said. “He’s got itgoing on down here.”The first race was dull

until Denny Hamlinbrought out the onlycaution with seven lapsremaining. Hamlin lostcontrol of his car, spuninto Carl Edwards andtriggered a four-car acci-dent that also collectedRegan Smith and TrevorBayne, who had a domi-nant car early in thequalifier.“I know what the

wrecks look like now, Iam really familiar withthem,” said Edwards,who was wrecked at test-ing in January and inpractice for the exhibi-tion race last week. Hewas also black-flagged inthe exhibition race whenhis window net fell off.

MARANA, Ariz. (AP)—The snow is gone fromthe Match Play Champi-onship, and so are RoryMcIlroy and TigerWoods.In a stunning conclu-

sion to what already is abizarre week on DoveMountain, Shane Lowryof Ireland made a 4-footpar putt on the 18th holeto eliminate Rory McIl-roy in the opening roundThursday of golf ’s mostunpredictable tourna-ment.“It’s definitely a day

I’m going to remember,”said Lowry, the thirdplayer in the last fouryears to beat the No. 1seed in the openinground.Moments later,

Charles Howell III fin-ished off a fabulousround in cold conditionsby defeating Woods onthe 17th hole. Howell,who had not facedWoods in match playsince losing to him inthe third round of the1996 U.S. Amateur,played bogey-free on acourse that still hadpatches of snow and iceafter being clearedThursday morning.The match was all

square when Howell hita wedge that stoppedinches from the cup onthe 15th hole for a con-ceded birdie. Then, heholed a 25-foot birdieputt on the 16th and

went 2 up when Woodsbadly missed a 12-footbirdie putt.“I had nothing to

lose,” said Howell, whostarted the year outsidethe top 100 in the worldand hasn’t qualified forthis World Golf Champi-onship in five years. “Inthis format, match playis crazy. He’s TigerWoods. I was lucky tohang in there.”The final matches

were played in neardarkness, and they couldhave stopped after 15holes. Woods wanted toplay on, even though

Howell had the momen-tum. Woods was 2 underfor the day, and neitherof them made a bogey.“We both played well,”

Woods said. “He made acouple of more birdiesthan I did. He playedwell, and he’s advanc-ing.”McIlroy, the No. 1

player in the world, builta 2-up lead early in thematch until Lowry ral-lied and grabbed the mo-ment by chipping in forbirdie on the par-3 12thand then ripping a fair-way metal to within afew feet for a conceded

eagle on the 13th.Lowry missed a short

par putt on the 14th,only for McIlroy to giveaway the next hole witha tee shot into the desertand a bunker shot thatflew over the 15th greenand into a cactus. Butthe two-time majorchampion hung tough,coming up with a clutchbirdie on the 16th to stayin the game.McIlroy nearly holed

his bunker on the 18th,and Lowry followed witha steady shot out to 4feet and calmly sank theputt.

Shelby County Sheriff JohnLenhart is learning how to bea “new”sheriff inspite of hav-ing servedfive termsin the past,due to astate re-quirementthat allnewlyelectedsheriff ’s take training.‘Good experience’Lenhart is one of many

newly elected Ohio sheriffswho has had to attend train-ing in preparation for theirterm in office.While he callshimself an “exception to therule,” Lenhart said it hasbeen a “good experience.”

The training focuses on“all the things pertaining tooperations” of the Sheriff ’sOffice. Among the topics cov-ered are personnel issues, op-erational needs, dispatch,investigations, civil issues,concealed carry, sexual preda-tors, jail operations, road pa-trol, organizationalstructures, the Ohio RevisedCode, generating required re-ports such as end-of-the-yearreports to the Shelby CountyCommissioners, tracking thenumber of drugs seized, Sher-

iff ’s Office audits of equip-ment, furnishings, and othertopics.

Those teaching the coursesinclude experts in a variety offields from the Buckeye StateSheriff's Association (BSSA),Ohio Attorney General’s Of-fice, Ohio Ethics Commission,Ohio Auditor’s Office and oth-ers. Lenhart said that fouryears ago, “part of that in-structional block, I helpedteach.”

As a student, Lenhart said,he is learning new informa-tion. “It’s obviously changedsince I’ve been there before.”

Kept upAlthough he said he has

kept up with things since heworked for the Ohio AttorneyGeneral’s Office as the assis-tant attorney general for lawenforcement and was theOhio Bureau of Criminal In-vestigation superintendent.

Lenhart said he has en-joyed the interaction withother new sheriffs fromacross the state and said theyrepresent large and smallcounties. He said it providedthem an opportunity to ex-change ideas.

During the first part of thetraining, Lenhart said, theGeauga County sheriff dis-cussed the Chardon schoolshootings and the Musk-ingum County sheriff spokeabout having lions and tigers

and other wild animals onthe run in his county andhow he dealt with the prob-lem. Ironically, Lenhart said,“The next morning (after theGeauga County talk) wasSandy Hook (school shoot-ing).”

Lenhart said “there was atleast 600 years of (law en-forcement) experience in thatroom. I only had 100 of it,” hejoked.

Lenhart said that duringthe training, he realized howthings have changed.

‘Workload’“The difference in the

workload has changed for anumber of reasons,” he said.

He noted that when hefirst became sheriff origi-nally, he had 38 employees.Today, there are 100, and hesaid there was no union then.911 did not exist at thattime. There was no con-cealed carry and no animalshelter under the Sheriff ’sOffice care.

The Buckeye State Sher-iff ’s Association pays for thetraining through the AG’s of-fice.

“It’s mandatory, you haveno choice,” Lenhart said re-garding the training.

In a lighthearted part ofthe training, the new sheriffs“had a jar set up” and everytime a new sheriff called a“sheriff ’s office” a “sheriff ’s

department,” they had todrop 25 cents in the jar as areminder that sheriff's officesare not departments.

“It is not a department.It’s an office,” said Lenhart,who noted that unlike policedepartments, “if I'm notdoing my job, you have re-course every four years. ... Ihave 50,000 bosses.”

Lenhart said it is “anhonor to serve in the positionof elected sheriff. ... The firstmission of a sheriff is to pro-tect and to serve.”‘Unique opportunity’“Sheriffs have a unique

opportunity that we can setpolicy and ... procedure,” hesaid.

Lenhart noted that whenthere was a question in theclass about “how it used tobe” in sheriffs offices, he wasthe one providing the infor-mation during the training.

“It was a good experience.Even if I wouldn’t have hadto, I probably would have vol-unteered for it,” Lenhartsaid.

Lenhart was required tocomplete training two weeksbefore he took office and isrequired to complete onemore week this year.

Lenhart said he has bene-fitted from getting to knowthe other new sheriffs.

“It is truly a professionalbrotherhood,” he said.

PlannedThe induction ceremony

was planned jointly by thechapter’s officers and PamWendel, faculty adviser ofthe Lehman Chapter of theNHS. Senior Louis Gaier,current president of thechapter, welcomed the stu-dents and their parents.

Lehman Catholic Princi-pal Denise Stauffer, the after-noon’s principal speaker,opened her remarks by chal-lenging the new membersabout being held to a higherstandard as they become rolemodels for others. After con-gratulating the new mem-bers and their parents,Stauffer focused on the mem-bership component of service.

‘Love and serve’“Our success in life should

not be measured by moneyor possessions but instead byour ability to love and serveothers,” she said. “True serv-ice is a way to show thatJesus Christ lives in us. Wecan show his love by beingChrist-like to others.”

Stauffer gave examples ofhow service can be done athome, at school, and withinthe community.

“Helping around thehouse with a smile, reachingout to lonely or strugglingclassmates, and offering tal-ent and treasure to helpthose less fortunate are all

examples of service,” Stauf-fer said.

Stauffer reminded the stu-dents that a commitment toservice can begin with justone small step. Staufferurged the new members tofollow the words of MotherTeresa who said, “If you can-not feed a hundred people,then feed just one.”

‘Truly serve’“To truly serve, as we are

called by God to do, we mustbe willing to be selfless andto sacrifice our own wants,needs and feelings,” saidStauffer. “We all have peoplein our lives that care for andserve us, and we are allcalled to do the same for oth-ers. Remember that yourabilities and your decisionscan have a positive impacton many lives. Use your tal-ents, time and treasures toserve God and those aroundus to the best of your abili-ties.” Stauffer concludedwith the words of St. Augus-tine: “God provides the wind,but man must raise thesails.”

The induction of newmembers into the NHS wasthe inaugural event of thecelebration of CatholicSchools Week.
