COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — While Ohio’s labor force is notgrowing at the preferred rate for an economic recovery, thenumber of unemployed people in the state is significantlylower than a year ago, the state said Friday as it announcedmonthly unemployment rates.Ohio’s seasonally adjusted unemployment rate for Febru-

ary was 7 percent, unchanged from January, and well belowthe national rate of 7.7 percent.The state’s nonagricultural jobs increased 16,100 over the

month, from a revised figure of 5.181 million in January to5.197 million in February, according to the latest business es-tablishment survey conducted by the U.S. Department ofLabor in cooperation with Job and Family Services.Ohio’s labor force is barely growing in contrast to what

economists hope to see during a recovery, Job and FamilyServices spokesman Ben Johnson said Friday.“Economists expect the labor force to shrink during a re-

cession as people become frustrated and stop looking for workor decide to go back to school or take early retirement or dosomething that takes them out of the labor force temporarily,”Johnson said.“As the economy recovers, you expect those people to leave

school, maybe to look for work again, different than whateverthey’ve been doing previously, and you expect the labor forceto begin to grow again,” Johnson said. “That hasn’t really hap-pened.”The good news is that the number of unemployed Ohio

workers in January — 401,000, though slightly up from Jan-uary — has decreased by 30,000 during the past 12 months,

AMMAN, Jordan (AP) —President Barack Obamawarned Friday that an “en-clave for extremism” could filla leadership void in war-tornSyria, a chilling scenario foran already tumultuous region,especially for Jordan, Syria’sneighbor and a nation at thecrossroads of the struggle forstability in the Middle East.In a significant step toward

easing regional tensions,Obama also brokered a phonecall between leaders from Is-rael and Turkey that resultedin an extraordinary apologyfrom Israeli Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu for adeadly 2010 raid on a Gaza-bound Turkish flotilla. Thecall marked a diplomatic vic-tory for the president and acrucial realignment in the re-gion, given Israel’s andTurkey’s shared interests, inparticular the fear thatSyria’s civil war could spillover their respective borders.Obama said he remains

confident that embattled Syr-ian leader Bashar Assad’sgovernment will ultimatelycollapse. But he warned that

when that happens, Syriawould not be “put back to-gether perfectly,” and he saidhe fears the nation could be-come a hotbed for extremists.“I am very concerned about

Syria becoming an enclave forextremism, because extrem-ists thrive in chaos,” Obamasaid during a joint news con-ference with Jordan’s KingAbdullah II. “They thrive in

failed states, they thrive inpower vacuums.”More than 70,000 people

have been killed during thetwo-year conflict in Syria,making it by far the deadliestof the Arab Spring uprisingsthat have roiled the regionsince 2011. Longtime auto-crats in Egypt, Tunisia,Yemen and Libya have beenousted, ushering in new gov-

ernments that are sometimesat odds with the Obama ad-ministration and its Mideastallies.Obama’s 24-hour stop in

Jordan marked his first visitto an Arab nation since the2011 Mideast protests began.Jordan’s monarchy has clungto power in part by enacting

Pools, panhandlingon council agenda

BY KANTELEFRANKO

Associated Press

COLUMBUS (AP) —State officials are usingthe 100th anniversary of adevastating and deadlyflood to encourageOhioans to prepare for po-tential high water emer-gencies by reviewing theirresponse plans and insur-ance coverage.On the heels of the

state and national FloodSafety Awareness Week,Saturday marks the cen-tennial of the 1913 stormsthat rolled through theMidwest and hung overtheOhioValley for severaldays, creating the state’sworst weather disaster.Several days of rain

flooded all of Ohio’srivers and streams andmore than 35,000 homesand left at least 400 peo-ple dead in the state, orperhaps 600 by some es-timates. It washed awayor damaged docks,bridges, railroads andtrains, wreaking havocfrom Cincinnati toPortsmouth to Clevelandand hindering efforts toget aid to damaged areas.Levees broke, drenchingvarious cities and leavingparts of Dayton andColumbus with 10 feet of

water or more.“There’s nothing to pre-

vent a storm like this fromoccurring again,” saidSarah Jamison, a hydrol-ogist with NationalWeather Service. “MotherNature has her own wayof dealing with things, soit’s our role to try to beprepared and react appro-priately to that.”The system, which led

to significant flooding inmore than a dozen states,from Illinois throughCon-necticut, stands out notjust because of how muchrain fell but also becauseit encompassed such alarge geographic area,said Jamison,who studiedthe flood and found manyOhioans know little aboutit.“It’s really fascinating

to think, ‘How did the col-lective mindset really notremember this event?’ It’san answer I don’t have,”said Jamison, part of theOhio Silver Jackets, agroup of local, state andfederal representatives fo-cused on flood control.In hard-hit southwest

Ohio, the disaster spurreda regional pursuit of solu-tions to area flood prob-

lems and eventually led tothe Miami ConservancyDistrict, which focuses onflood protection, waterquality and promotingrecreation along water-ways in the Great MiamiRiver Watershed. Thearea’s flood protection sys-tem was designed to pro-tect against flooding evenmore severe than whathappened in 1913.Angela Manuszak, the

district’s special projectscoordinator, calls it a taleof resilience and sacrificefor the benefit of thelarger community andsays many families in thearea have passed downstories about the flood.She has one, too — a tid-bit about how her grand-father helped with thecleanup as part of theOhio National Guard outofToledo and later kept inhis home a “very uncom-fortable Victorian chair”supposedly taken fromthe floodwaters.The district, historical

organizations, librariesand other groups are com-memorating the centen-nial with a variety ofevents, some hopeful, oth-ers more somber. In Day-ton, an exhibit about theflood is being unveiledSaturday at Carillon His-torical Park.

State officials are using the 100th anniversary of a dev-astating flood to encourage Ohioans to prepare for potential high water emer-gencies by reviewing their response plans and insurance coverage. On theheels of the state and national Flood Safety Awareness Week, today marksthe centennial of the 1913 storms that flooded every Ohio river and 35,000homes and led to hundreds of deaths.

COLUMBUS (AP) — The govern-ment is sufficiently addressing the con-cerns of an Ohio Roman Catholicuniversity and dioceses in Michiganover a provision of the federal healthcare lawmandating employer-providedbirth control, a federal judge ruled Fri-day in dismissing their lawsuit.Franciscan University of

Steubenville and an association ofMichigan Roman Catholic diocesessued last year, saying the mandate vi-olates religious freedom by requiring aCatholic entity to comply with therule.That portion of the federal health

care law came under fire from reli-

gious groups that object to the use ofcontraceptives, sterilization and abor-tion-inducing drugs. In response to thecriticism, the Obama administrationhas been trying to soften the mandateto accommodate religious groups, suchas shifting the requirement from theemployers to health insurers them-selves.The Justice Department told the

court the school and dioceses are pro-tected from the mandate’s require-ments until at least 2014. It also saidthe lawsuit wasn’t timely becausechanges were already being made tothe regulations to meet the groups’concerns.

LIMA (AP) — OhioSen. Sherrod Brown ispushing federal trans-portation officials tospeed up changes calledfor in a bus safety meas-ure that became law lastsummer.Brown sent a letter

this week to the head ofthe U.S. Department ofTransportation asking tomove more quickly onimplementing drivertraining and operatorenforcement.His push comes after

last weekend’s bus crashinvolving a Pennsylva-nia college’s lacrosseteam that killed two andinjured 23.The Lima News re-

ports that Brown said inthe letter that tour bussafety standards arelong overdue.Brown has been push-

ing for the bus safety lawsince 2007 when a char-ter bus carrying BlufftonUniversity’s baseballteam flipped off a Geor-gia overpass, killing fiveplayers along with thedriver and his wife.

political reforms, including parliamentary elections and signifi-cant revisions to the country’s 60-year-old constitution. Still, ten-sions continue to simmer,with the restive population questioningthe speed and seriousness of the changes.Protecting Abdullah is paramount to U.S. interests. The 51-

year-old king is perhaps Obama’s strongest Arab ally and a keyplayer in efforts to jumpstart peace talks between Palestiniansand Israel. Jordan has a peace treatywith Israel, and that agree-ment has become evenmore significant given the rise of Islamistleaders in Egypt,whichwas the firstArab country to ink a treatywith the Jewish state, in the 1970s.Egypt’s new leaders have so far pledged to uphold the treaty,

though there are strong concerns in Israel and the U.S. aboutwhether that will hold.By virtue of geography, Jordan’s future is particularly vulner-

able to the turmoil in theMiddleEast. It shares borderswith Iraq,Israel and theWest Bank, in addition to Syria.More than 460,000Syrians have flowed across the Jordanian border seeking refugesince the civil war began, seeking an escape from the violence.The flood of refugees has overwhelmed the country of 6 mil-

lion people, straining Jordan’s resources, including health careand education, and pushing the budget deficit to a record high $3billion last year. Abdullah also fears the half-million refugeescould create a regional base for extremists and terrorists, sayingrecently that such elements were already “establishing firmfootholds in some areas.”

BY ANDREW TAYLORAssociated Press

WASHINGTON (AP) — Senate De-mocrats neared approval of their firstbudget proposal in four years on Friday,calling for almost $1 billion in tax in-creases over the coming decade whilesheltering safety net programs targetedby House Republicans. The Democratsalso would reverse automatic spendingcuts that are beginning to strike both thePentagon and domestic programs.The nonbinding but politically symbolic

measure caters to party stalwarts on theliberal edge of the spectrum just as theHouse GOP measure is crafted to appealto more recent tea party arrivals.Approval of the Senate version was ex-

pected to come long after dark — afterdozens of votes on amendments, many ofwhich were offered in hopes of inflictingpolitical damage on Democratic senatorsup for re-election in GOP-leaning stateslike Alaska and Louisiana.Some $1 trillion in new revenue would

flow to the government over the comingdecade— on top of more than $600 billionin taxes on upper-income earners ap-

proved in January — and would be cou-pled with a net $875 billion in spendingcuts.Those reductions would be generatedby modest cuts to federal health care pro-grams, domestic agencies and the Penta-gon and reduced government borrowingcosts. The budget proposes $100 billion innew spending for infrastructure projectsand job training programs.The president will reveal his own over-

due tax-and-spending plan in two weeks,a plan that will be judged in part bywhether it offers new, more politicallyrisky proposals that could form the foun-dation for a bipartisan agreement be-tween the two houses.Senators braced for dozens of votes

during a marathon session running lateon Friday, with some predicting a finalvote on the Democratic plan in the pre-dawn hours of Saturday. In early votingFriday morning, Democrats rejected thelatest attempt to repeal Obama’s land-mark health care law by a strictly party-line vote.The Senate has already taken several

politically freighted votes, including amove by Democrats to force a vote on thePaul Ryan House budget, which was re-

jected by a 59-40 vote Thursday night,with five Republicans joining every Dem-ocratic senator in opposition.Republicans countered with a move by

Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., putting Democ-rats on record in opposition to balancingthe budget by the end of the decade. Itfailed on a near party-line vote.Additional votes on Friday could fea-

ture forays into off-topics like supersizedsoft drinks, domestic drone strikes, hand-guns and abortion — in addition to themore traditional subjects of taxes, spend-ing and debt.Such tallies give lawmakers the chance

to test support for their ideas in the mod-ern Senate, where there are far fewer op-portunities to offer amendments andobtain votes. Such votes are nonbinding.Seventeen Democrats joined Republicansto endorse the Keystone XL pipeline thatis to carry oil from Canada to Texas oil re-fineries. And after a bipartisan 75-24 testvote, the Senate endorsed an amendmentby Dick Durbin, D-Ill., and Mike Enzi, R-Wyo. — backed by the powerful retailerlobby — that would allow states to collectsales taxes on Internet purchases madeout of state.

DEMONSTRATORS FROM a left-wing protest group shout anti-government slogans in frontof the EU offices, in Athens Friday. The rally was held to protest the EU’s handling of thebailout crisis in Cyprus, with the threat of bankruptcy looming over the Mediterranean island.The Cypriot crisis has rattled close ally Greece which locked in talks with rescue creditorsover the next round of deficit-cutting measures required under its bailout programs worth acombined $310 billion.

NICOSIA, Cyprus (AP) —Lawmakers in Cyprus ap-proved three key bills Fridaythat aim to raise enoughmoney to qualify the countryfor a broader bailout packageand help it avoid financialruin in mere days.A total of nine bills were ap-

proved, including a key one onrestructuring the country’sailing banks, which lost bil-lions on bad Greek debt; oneon restricting financial trans-actions in times of crisis; andone that sets up a ‘solidarityfund’ into which investmentsand contributions will flow.More bills to meet the total

target of 5.8 billion euros ($7.5billion) Cyprus needs to securean international bailout will

be brought for a vote over theweekend.They include a crucial one

that would impose a tax of lessthan 1 percent on all bank de-posits, said Averof Neophytou,deputy head of the governingDISY party.“We are voting for the least

worst option,” Neophytou saidin a speech. “We owe an apol-ogy to the Cypriot people be-cause we all share in theresponsibility of bringing thisplace to this state.”Approval of the tax would

come just days after Parlia-ment decisively turned down aplan that would have seizedup to 10 percent of people’sbank deposits. The plan trig-gered an outcry from people

who condemned it as an unfairgrab of their life savings, whilepoliticians saw it as causingirreparable damage to thecountry’s financial center sta-tus.Nonetheless, ordinary

Cypriots have said they wouldwillingly sacrifice a portion oftheir savings to save the coun-try — just as long as some-body doesn’t impose it onthem.“If we have Europe’s sup-

port so our banks won’t col-lapse, I wouldn’t have aproblem with a deposit tax,”said pensioner DemetrakisPapanicolaou, 64. “But weneed to hear this not only fromour government, but from theEuropeans.”

DENVER (AP) — AttorneyJack Ebel testified before theColorado Legislature twoyears ago that solitary con-finement in a Colorado prisonwas destroying the psyche ofhis son Evan.When Jack Ebel’s longtime

friend, Gov. John Hicken-looper, was interviewing aMissouri corrections officialfor the top prisons job in Col-orado, he mentioned the caseas an example of why theprison system needed reform.And once Tom Clements cameto Colorado, he eased the useof solitary confinement andtried to make it easier for peo-ple housed there to re-entersociety.Now authorities are inves-

tigating whether EvanSpencer Ebel, who wasparoled in January, is linkedto the assassination ofClements, who was shot andkilled Tuesday night when heanswered the front door of hishouse in a rural neighbor-hood.The bullet casings from

that shooting are the sametype as those found at the siteof a bloody gun battle Thurs-day between Evan Ebel andTexas law enforcement offi-cers that ended with Ebelbeing shot and killed, accord-ing to court records.The car Ebel drove

matched the description of theone spotted outside Clements’house on the night of theprison director’s death. Au-thorities also found aDomino’s pizza delivery box inthe trunk and a jacket or shirtfrom the pizza chain. Denverpolice say Ebel is now a sus-pect in the Sunday slaying ofpizza delivery man NathanLeon.

QUANTICO, Va. (AP) — AMarine who worked at a rigor-ous school that tests Marineswho want to become officers fa-tally shot two of his colleaguesbefore killing himself in a bar-racks dorm room.The three Marines — two

men and awoman—were partof the staff at the officer candi-dates school on the sprawlingMarine Corps Base Quanticoin northern Virginia. Their re-lationship and whether theyknew one another was notclear, though military officialsdescribed the shootings as “iso-lated.” They did not release amotive or the identities of thoseslain.Around 10:30 p.m. Thurs-

day, authorities found one Ma-rine dead in the Taylor Hallbarracks, base commander Col.

David W. Maxwell said. A sec-ond victim and the gunmanwere also located in TaylorHall, a red brick building thatcan house about 110 Marines.Only Marines who work at

the school live in Taylor Hall.The candidates for officer liveelsewhere on the base.It wasn’t immediately clear

how much time passed be-tween the killings or how farapart the bodies were.After the first shooting,

Marines and their familieswere told to stay inside over aloudspeaker known as the“giant voice.” The lockdownwas lifted about 2:30 a.m. Fri-day.Base spokesman Lt.Agustin

Solivan said everyone else wassafe, including the officer can-didates.

What’s the life span of chicken salad?D e a r

Heloise: Afriend worksas a home chefand makesmeals formany families.She usuallymakes mechicken saladonce a monthor so. It is sodelicious, Iasked her tomake meextra, and I would haveit for longer instead of acouple of days.

She said that chickensalad wouldn’t keep thatlong in the fridge. I thinkit will, so I was hopingyou could answer thispressing question.Thanks so much! — Sarain Texas

How lucky for youthat your friend makesthis delicious dish foryou.

After checking withthe United States De-partment of Agriculture

and the Food andDrug Administra-tion, here is whatthey had to say:

For best qual-ity, chicken (aswell as egg, ham,tuna and maca-roni) saladsshould be keptonly three to fivedays in the refrig-erator (stored at40 degrees orlower).

Also, chicken saladcan be frozen; however,when thawed, it won’t bethe same as fresh. It canbecome runny and nottaste as good. It isn’t asafety issue, but a per-sonal preference. So,have your friend makeenough for only a fewdays, and you will befine.

Thanks for writing,and hope this helps. —Heloise

MOPPING THEFLOOR

Dear Heloise: I washaving trouble with myterry-cloth mop when Itried to apply cleaner tomy hardwood floors.

(By the way, be verycareful to use only man-u fac ture r-approvedcleaning methods andproducts for your hard-wood floors, or you could

damage your floors andalso void the warranty— no steam cleaners, forinstance.)

Anyway, the mop han-dle kept “telescoping”and shrinking the han-dle length, no matterwhat I did. I wrapped athick rubber band on thehandle, just below thering where the mop han-dle began its slide, andthe problem was solved,and of course the bandcan easily be adjusted.— Pat S., Front Royal,Va

CRUSHEDEGGSHELLS

Dear Heloise: Driedeggshells can be easilycrushed for recycling cal-cium for houseplants, aswell as for needed nutri-ents for gardens.

I have crushed 1quart and will broadcastthis over my small gar-den prior to tilling. Cal-cium is expensive atgarden centers. — AReader in Indiana

popcornMAPLEWOOD —

Twelve members of theMaplewood Grange whomet on March 12 heard aprogram presented byGinny Lochard on pop-corn.

Everyone enjoys eat-ing popcorn, she said. Itis mainly grown in themidwestern states, in-cluding Ohio. There areseveral types of popcornand everyone has a fa-vorite. Lochard told thegroup that people aremisled when buying cornadvertised as “no hulls.”The heat causes the ker-nel to explode, which re-moves the hull. Whenstoring unpopped corn, itis best to store in atightly sealed container.Members enjoyed a so-cial time following themeeting. Hostesses wereWanda Kaufman andRita Hurley. BrentClinehens presided.

Comedian to perform hereBY PATRICIA ANN

SPEELMANpspeelman@

civitasmedia.com

Two Sidney men whoare creating a BMX bikepark in Piqua havebooked a nationallyknown comedian to per-form in Sidney in sup-port of the park.

Drew Hastings willperform March 30 at7:30 and 10 p.m. at theAmerican Legion hall,1256 Fourth Ave. In ad-dition to the perform-ance, there will be asilent auction and a50/50 drawing. Beer andfood will be for sale. The7:30 p.m. performancehas sold out, but ticketsremain for the latershow.

Tickets cost $20 eachor $175 for reservedtable for eight. They areavailable at (937) 726-2868, by email atumvbmx@gmail . comand on the website,www.umvbmx.com.

Eric Jones and ChrisSmith, both of Sidney,have already begun con-struction of the UpperMiami Valley BMX Parkat 1032 Covington Ave.in Piqua.

“We cut off four feet ofdirt over the whole lot,”Jones said recently. Thepark will be sanctionedby USA BMX. On May27, USA BMX construc-tion personnel will build

the track at the site.“It’s a $125,000 in-

vestment,” Jones said.The men’s original planwas to set up the opera-tion as a nonprofit or-ganization, but Jonessaid that after they in-vestigated doing that, itmade more sense to runthe park as a for-profitbusiness. They haverented the land from theowners of Smitty’s BikeShop, which is on thesame property. BobSmith, who ownsSmitty’s, is ChrisSmith’s father.

Hastings has ap-peared on many talkshows, headlines on “TheBob and Tom ComedyAll-stars Tour,” and re-ceived a standing ova-tion on “The TonightShow.” His current one-hour Comedy Centralspecial, “Irked andMiffed,” debuted to morethan 1 million viewersand remains a top-ranked online download.

In addition to thetrack, the bike park willfeature bleachers, a con-cession stand and an-nouncing tower and willconnect to Piqua’s publicbike path.

“Both of our kids arein BMX,” Jones said ofhimself and Smith. “Thenearest park is in Ket-tering. There’s one inBrookeville and then youhave to go all the way toAkron. That’s a pretty

good drive three times aweek.”

The men plan to holdSaturday night races, soas not to compete forbusiness with the exist-ing parks. Participantspay to race. Observersget in free. To raise theinvestment money,Smith and Jones haveplanned special events,including Hastings’s ap-pearance, and they areselling advertisementsfor banners to be placedalong the fence that will

enclose the park. Theyhope to rent bikes whenthe park is open and torent the park itself toBMX teams for training.

The sport attractspeople of all ages, Jonessaid.

“A guy last week was76 years old and racing,”he said.

Among the silent auc-tion items that will be upfor bid March 30 areDragons game tickets,bicycles, night-out pack-ages and gift cards.

ing are great places to dobusiness.”The new plant data-

base for Site SelectionMagazine, the seniorpublication in the corpo-rate real estate and eco-nomic development field,focuses on new corporatelocation projects withsignificant impact. Newfacilities and expansionsincluded in the analysesmust meet at least one ofthree criteria: involve acapital investment of atleast $1 million, createat least 50 new jobs, oradd at least 20,000square feet of new floorarea. (The database doesnot track retail and gov-ernment projects, orschools and hospitals).“This recognition from

a national publicationwill make the Dayton re-gion even more attrac-tive to companies whowant to do businesshere,” said Dr. Daniel J.Curran, president of theUniversity of Daytonand chairman of theDayton DevelopmentCoalition Board ofTrustees. “The strongfoundation of our univer-sity community along

Can medicine cause impotence?

Girlfriend cloisters herself in boyfriend’s room

DEAR DR.ROACH: When Ihad my first mildheart attack, in1998, they usedstents to open theblockages; theyput in more ayear later. WhenI had my secondheart attack, in2009, they recom-mended bypasssurgery. However,the day I camehome from thehospital there was an ar-ticle that said prescrip-tion medications werejust as good as surgeryin cleaning up the block-ages and keeping pa-tients alive. I am now oneight prescription med-ications.At about that time, I

noticed that I had be-come impotent. I couldnot get an erection. I at-

tributed it to myage (73), andsince my wifewas very ill witha brain tumor, itwas of little con-cern.Could my im-

potence becaused by thepre s c r i p t i onsrather than oldage? If so, whatcan be doneabout it withoutinterfering with

the treatment for theheart blockages? — E.S.ANSWER: The deci-

sion to treat coronarydisease with medica-tions or surgery is a dif-ficult one and dependson many factors — espe-cially the arteries in-volved and the overallfunction of the heart. Formany people, medicationis as effective as surgery.

But medication alwayshas the potential of sideeffects, and erectile dys-function, to use the pre-ferred term, is notuncommon with manymedicines used for coro-nary disease or highblood pressure.Balancing a medica-

tion’s effectiveness withside effects can be tricky.One approach is to takethe most likely medica-tion, such as a diureticor a beta blocker, andchange to another classof medication. This runsthe risk of reducing theeffectiveness of the med-ication regimen for theblockages. Another ap-proach is to use an addi-tional medication, suchas Viagra, to overcomethe side effects of thefirst. This is inelegant,but may be the safest op-tion. Note that nitroglyc-

erine and related med-ications cannot be usedwith Viagra (or its re-lated medicines). Thefirst step is to let yourdoctor know about thispossible side effect.

DEAR DR. ROACH:If a person has dry skin,will the application ofaloe vera to the skin beof any help? — N.H.

ANSWER: Aloe verahas been used medici-nally for at least 4,000years.Many skin creamscontain aloe vera juice orextract. Numerous stud-ies show that aloe ex-tract alone improves dryskin. Check the ingredi-ents labels in the mois-turizer section of anydrugstore. I would rec-ommend trying a few dif-ferent products until youfind one that works wellwith your skin.

DEAR ABBY:My 25-year-oldson, “Mark,” livesat home, has afull-time job anddates a girl,“Julia,” who is aminister’s daugh-ter. He keepsbringing her toour home on occa-sions when she’s“sick” or needs tocatch an earlyflight and he needs todrive her to the airport.They are seeing onlyeach other.Julia is in premed and

Mark thinks she’s won-derful and smart.Abby, when she’s here,

she holes up in his roomand never comes out.She’s as quiet as a

mouse. I am boisterous,and I get the feeling Iturn her off.The last time she

stayed over was before anout-of-state interviewMark was driving her to.

Abby, she nevereven said hello orgoodbye. Hemade her break-fast in bed, andthey sat therelaughing and eat-ing with the doorshut.When she vis-

its she staysdown in our denand ignores therest of us the en-

tire time, as does Mark.After the holidays, sheleft without wishing us“HappyHolidays” or evengiving us a card. I had apresent for her, but didn’tgive it to her because Idecided I wouldn’t go outof my way for a personwho ignores me.I want my son to move

out. I do not want thisgirl sleeping over or stay-ing under my roof any-more. I don’t like her.What should I do? Mymother says I should putmy foot down and send

my grown son out thedoor. She says I need togrow a spine, but I’mafraid! — MAMA INOHIO

DEAR MAMA: Youare dealing with two sep-arate issues. Your son isseriously involved with agirl who either neverlearned basic good man-ners or who may bepathologically shy. Youand your husband shouldtalk privately with Markand find out exactly whather problem is. You alsoneed to establish someground rules for whenshe visits, so you don’tfeel shut out under yourown roof.Adult “children” live

with their parents forvarious reasons. Somecan’t afford to live inde-pendently; others are try-ing to save money to buya home of their own. Idon’t know Mark’s rea-son and neither will youif you don’t address this

with him.Your mother may be

right. It may be time forhim to move. But whatconcerns me about whathas been going on is thelack of communicationand a certain lack of re-spect. And nothing willchange unless you andyour husband insist uponit.

DEAR ABBY: Is it ac-ceptable for one adult tocorrect another’s Englishunless asked to do so?My sister does it fre-

quently, and I want toknow if it’s rude so I don’tmake the same blunder.— GRAMMATICALLYYOURS IN NEW OR-LEANS

DEAR GRAMMATI-CALLY YOURS: It isn’trude if it is done tactfully,in private and in thespirit of being helpful. Ifit’s done as a form of one-upmanship, it is obnox-ious.

Clouds thicken tonight,and snow is expected tod e v e l o pSunday asa bigs p r i n gs t o r mheads ourway. Ac-cumulat-ing snowlooks pos-sible, butthe trackand strength of the sys-tem is still in question.

DAYTON (AP) — SamThompson had career highswith 20 points and 10 re-bounds on Friday night, partof a dominating performanceby Ohio State’s front line, andthe Buckeyes ran away to a95-70 victory over Iona in thesecond round of the West Re-gional.The second-seeded Buck-

eyes (27-7) are in primeMarch form with ninestraight wins, including theirlast five games of the regularseason and a run to the BigTen tournament title.Forward Deshaun Thomas

has led them in scoring dur-ing the streak, averaging 17.6points per game. He had 24points as the Buckeyes’ fastbreaks led to dunks and a sea-son high in points, thrillingthe large Ohio State contin-gent.Aaron Craft had a season-

high six steals and seven as-sists for the Buckeyes.Shannon Scott tied his careerhigh with 10 assists.Ohio State plays either

Notre Dame or Iowa State onSunday, one win away from afourth straight trip to theround of 16.“We have a lot of confi-

dence,” Thompson said. “Weknow that if we come out anddo the things we’re supposedto do on both sides of the ball,we could beat any team in thecountry.”Iona (20-14) returned to the

court where it suffered thebiggest meltdown in NCAAtournament history last year,blowing a 25-point lead. TheGaels are 1-9 all-time in thetournament with their onlywin — over Holy Cross in1980 — later vacated becauseof NCAA violations.Tavon Sledge scored 20

points for Iona, which had 19turnovers that led to 29 of theBuckeyes’ points.

Buckeyes coach ThadMatta had his best moment —yes, singular — as a collegeplayer at University of Day-ton Arena, hitting a game-winning shot for Butler. Hisvisits as Ohio State’s coachhaven’t been so pleasant. TheBuckeyes failed to make it out

of Dayton intact in their twoprevious NCAA appearances,going 1-2 overall.No late drama in this one.The Gaels used their

record-setting 78-72 loss toBYU last year as motivationto return and give a bettershowing. They were back, but

fared no better against amuch better team.The Gaels got the game’s

first lead, pulling ahead 4-0on baskets by Taaj Ridley andDavid Laury. Ohio State ledonly 7-6 heading into the firsttimeout.Then, it all came apart.Ohio State turned up the

intensity behind Craft, whomade a diving save on a looseball that started an emphaticfast break. The Buckeyesswatted away the Gaels’ shotsand stormed the rim fordunks during a 15-0 run overthe next 4 minutes.The Gaels were only 4-of-21

with six turnovers while OhioState extended its lead to 27-8 midway through the open-ing half. Even when Iona didsomething impressive, it back-fired. Thomas got one of hisshots blocked right back tohim, then put it up again andgot fouled, resulting in a pairof free throws.The Gaels aren’t used to

getting roughed up like that.They were second in the na-tion with 80.7 points per gameand 15th nationally with 8.43-pointers per game. OhioState brought their offense toa standstill.They finally got their fast-

break offense going and wipedaway most of that 18-pointdeficit. Sean Armand hit a 3-pointer ‚Äî he set a schoolrecord for 3s this season ‚Äî anda pair of free throws during a13-3 spurt that cut it to 37-33.Ohio State ended the comebackwith the game’s most sensa-tional play, Thompson reachedbehind his body with his rightarm to snag Scott’s alley-ooppass for a dunk.Up 43-33 at halftime, Ohio

State went on a nine-pointrun behind Thomas andThompson for a 19-point leadthat would never be seriouslythreatened.

BY KEN BARHORSTkbarhorst@civitasmedia.com

Lehman High School, in anews release Friday, said thatboys basket-ball coachI s a i a hW i l l i a m shas re-signed.Williams

called it a“mutual de-cision.”W h a t -

ever it was,the school islooking for a head coach to re-place Williams, who coachedthe Cavaliers for three sea-sons and finished with anoverall record of 34-36, in-cluding 10-14 last season.

He guided his first Lehmanteam to the district tourna-ment.“It was a mutual decision

and there is no ill will,” saidWilliams. “I thank Lehmanfor the opportunity they gaveme, and I think this is in thebest interest of both of us be-cause what they want andwhat I want to do might notbe agreed upon. So it might bebetter for them.”Williams did not teach at

the school, and his work wasin Troy for his first two yearsat Lehman. This year, how-ever, his work took him toDayton every day, but he does-n’t think that was a factor.“I was back in Dayton this

year and it did hurt me men-tally and physically,”Williamssaid. “But I was up for the

challenge, and the way we ac-comodated my schedule wasdefinitely beneficial.”Prior to coming to Lehman,

Williams was an assistantcoach at Wayne High Schooland also the head coach ofvarious age groups in theDayton Nets AAU program.In looking back, Williams

said one thing he would changeis how he meted out discipline.“I would probably change

the way I handled some of theplayers, be more disciplined,”he said. “But I wouldn’tchange my style of coaching.My style, my energy, I thinkwhat I brought to the tablehelped the kids.Williams said he is open to

any coaching opportunityright now, but would like toremain a head coach in his

next position. And, he adds, “Iwould like to get back intocoaching right away.“I want to be in a position

where I continue to grow,” headded.He said he would prefer to

get into the GWOC, referringto the Greater Western OhioConference, of which Wayne,and also Sidney, are members.“I heard Sidney has an

opening for a head coach,”Williams said. “So I’m defi-nitely going to get my name inthere.”Lehman athletic director

Dick Roll said the search for anew coach will begin immedi-ately.Anyone who has an inter-

est in coaching the Cavaliersshould contact Roll at theschool.

GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) —Left-hander Aroldis Chapmanwill be bringing his 100 mphfastball out of the bullpenagain this season.The Cincinnati Reds de-

cided to keep Chapman astheir closer on Friday insteadof moving him into the start-ing rotation, a move thatpleased the Cuban pitcher. Hewas a vital part of the Reds’drive to the NL Central titlelast year, saving 38 games.General manager Walt

Jocketty signed JonathanBroxton to a three-year, $21million deal after last season,giving the Reds a provencloser so they could moveChapman into the rotation.The left-hander was a starterduring spring training, butsaid last week he had becomecomfortable as a closer andwould rather stay in that role.The Reds took his prefer-

ence into account in makingthe decision, though it wasn’tthe overriding factor.“Unsolicited, he said that,”

manager Dusty Baker said.“You want a guy at a comfortlevel. But do you tell your bosswhat to do? If you do, youwon’t be working long.”The Reds will use Chap-

man in one-inning roles forthe rest of spring training,getting him ready to pitchseveral days in a row duringthe season. They open athome on April 1 against theAngels.Baker also announced his

rotation on Friday. JohnnyCueto will start the opener,followed by Mat Latos, Bron-son Arroyo, Homer Bailey andMike Leake, who had beencompeting with Chapman forthe final spot.“That’s a very strong rota-

tion,” Jocketty said. “And put-

ting Chapman back to thecloser role with JonathanBroxton ‚Äî who might closesome games ‚Äî gives us avery strong bullpen. As weevaluated it, we felt it wasbest.“We’re a team that’s built

for now. We’re built to winnow. This in our opinion givesus the best opportunity to dothat.”The Reds have won the di-

vision two of the last threeyears, but failed to get pastthe first round of the playoffs.Chapman chose the Reds

when he left Cuba, agreeing toa six-year, $30.25 million dealin early 2010. The Redsstarted getting him ready tobe a starter in the minors, butmoved him to the bullpenwhen they needed help theirduring their 2010 surge to thedivision title.They were preparing him

to be a starter again last yearbefore the back end of thebullpen got wiped out by in-juries during spring training,with closer Ryan Madsontearing up his elbow. TheReds eased Chapman into thecloser role — one he’d neverdone before — and he becameone of the major leagues’best.Chapman had 38 saves in

43 chances after moving intothe role on May 20. He con-verted a team-record 27straight chances.If Chapman had won a spot

in the rotation, the Redswould have limited his in-nings to protect his arm dur-ing the transition, leaving himunavailable to pitch late inthe season.“We wouldn’t have gotten

200 innings out of him thisyear,” Jocketty said. “That’s afactor, too.”

Johnny Cueto (19-9, 2.78ERA, 33 starts, 2 CG),RH Bronson Arroyo (12-10, 3.74, 32 starts, 1 CG,1 SHO), RH Mat Latos(14-4, 3.46, 33 starts, 2CG), RH Homer Bailey(13-10, 3.68, 33 starts, 2CG, 1 no-hitter), LHAroldis Chapman (5-5,1.51 as closer, 38/43saves in 68 games).Key Relievers: RH

inning. Baker did an im-pressive job improvisinglast year after Madsontore an elbow ligamentduring spring training,easing the hard-throwingChapman into a role he’dnever filled. He wasamong the best closers inthe majors, converting aclub-record 27 straightsave chances. GM WaltJocketty wants to move

him into the rotation andgive Broxton, a midsea-son trade acquisition fromKansas City, the closer’sspot. If Broxton falters,Baker will be tempted tomove Chapman back intothe bullpen. Even if it allworks out, it’s unclearhow many innings Chap-man will be allowed topitch in his transitionseason.Outlook: The Reds

return their roster virtu-ally intact from a 97-winseason that was goodenough to win a secondNL Central title in threeyears. The goal is to getpast the first round ofthe playoffs, somethingCincinnati has failed todo. The rotation is one ofthe NL’s best, and noneof the starters missed aturn because of injuryduring the regular sea-son. That ended whenCueto pulled muscles inhis side during the firstinning of his playoffstart against the Giants.If the rotation can stayhealthy again and Brox-ton is able to close gamesconsistently, the Redswill be favored to reachthe playoffs and advancethis time. The lineup issolid with Choo, ac-quired from Cleveland ina deal that includedStubbs, giving them asound leadoff hitter forthe first time in years.Frazier, who got Rookieof the Year votes, takesover at third base forRolen, who chose not tocome to spring training.The most encouragingsign this spring wasVotto’s return. The 2010NL MVP missed 48games because of tornknee cartilage last sea-son and wasn’t fully re-covered when hereturned. Cincinnati’sbest hitter was back inform during springtraining.St. Louis Cardinals2012: 88-74, second

the inside track on thestarting shortstop jobafter Rafael Furcal rein-jured his elbow early incamp, and won it whenveteran Ronny Cedenowas released on March19. The former first-round pick hadfoundered in the minorsbefore getting a late-sea-son shot last year whenFurcal was first hurt.Utility man Matt Car-penter, who batted .294with 6 HRs and 46 RBIsin 296 ABs, could seetime at 2B after a springtraining conversion. Heappeared at five posi-tions last season.Outlook: After fin-

ishing nine games be-hind thedivision-champion Reds,the Cardinals were onewin from a repeat WorldSeries appearance beforeblowing a 3-1 NLCS lead

against the Giants. Sincethen, they’ve lost 16-game winner Lohse tofree agency, former aceChris Carpenter to alikely career-ending arminjury and Furcal to re-constructive elbow sur-gery, and added no keypieces. They’re bankingheavily on Wainwrightregaining his form asone of the NL’s topstarters in his secondyear back from elbow re-construction.Milwaukee Brewers2012: 83-79, third

Bengals keepOT RolandCINCINNATI (AP) —

The Bengals made an-other move to keep theirplayoff team intact, agree-ing to a new contract onFriday with offensivetackle Dennis Roland.Cincinnati has signed

eight of its players fromlast season who were el-igible for unrestrictedfree agency.Roland, a sixth-year

player, has played ineach of the Bengals’ last67 games. He often linesup as an extra tight endin running formations.

Hart is a quick healer— he returned far fasterthan expected last off-season when he had sur-gery on the same kneefor a torn meniscus —but he’s still expected tobe out until sometime inMay.Outlook: Milwaukee

traded pitcher ZackGreinke last summerbut quietly made up forit by having one of themost productive offensesin the majors — and thatlineup returns almostentirely intact. Braunhas put an offseasonfilled with questionsabout his connection toPEDs in his rearviewmirror, and insists thathis focus is solely on theupcoming season. If hecan put together anotherMVP-caliber season,Gallardo can anchor thepitching staff and Se-gura can live up to ex-pectations in theeveryday lineup, theBrewers could be in posi-tion to compete in theNL Central.Pittsburgh Pirates2012: 79-83, fourth

place.Manager: Clint Hur-

dle (third season).He’s Here: C Russell

Martin, LHP FranciscoLiriano, RHP JeanmarGomez, RHP MarkMelancon, LHPJonathan Sanchez, 3BBrandon Inge, 1B-OFBrad HawpeHe’s Outta Here:

RHP Joel Hanrahan,RHP Kevin Correia, CRod Barajas, RHP ChadQualls, RHP ChrisResop, 2B Brock Holt.Projected Lineup:

LF Starling Marte (.257,5 HRs, 17 RBIs, 12/17SBs), 2B Neil Walker(.280, 14, 69), CF An-drew McCutchen (.327,31, 96), 3B Pedro Alvarez(.244, 30, 85, 180 Ks), 1BGarrett Jones (.274, 27,86), C Russell Martin(.211, 21, 53 with Yan-kees), RF Travis Snider(.250, 4, 17 with BlueJays and Pirates), SSClint Barmes (.229, 8,45).Rotation: RH A.J.

Burnett (16-10, 3.51ERA, 180 Ks), LHWandy Rodriguez (12-13,3.76 with Astros and Pi-rates), RH James Mc-Donald (12-8, 4.21), RHJeff Karstens (5-4, 3.97),LH Jeff Locke (1-3, 5.50).Key Relievers: RH

Jason Grilli (1-6, 2.91, 2saves), RH JaredHughes (2-2, 2.85 in 66games), RH Chris Ler-oux (0-0, 5.56), LH TonyWatson (5-2, 3.38 ERA in68 games), RH MarkMelancon (0-2, 6.20 withRed Sox).Hot Spots: The back

end of the rotation is influx as the season be-gins. Liriano is likely outuntil May while recover-ing from a broken right(non-throwing) arm sus-tained in December. At36, Grilli is a journey-man reliever who gets toclose for the first time inhis career. He sparkledas a setup man last yearbut now must fill thevoid left by the trade ofHanrahan.Outlook: It sounds

almost bizarre, but itcould very well be theplayoffs or bust for thisgroup of Pirates. Pitts-burgh flirted with thepostseason and the fran-chise’s first winningrecord in two decadeslast summer before fad-ing over the final sixweeks. The roster re-turns pretty much intact.The addition of Martinshould help shore upsome of the defensive is-sues the team had lastseason. McCutchen be-came a true star in 2012,finishing third in the NLMVP race and makingPittsburgh relevant forthe first time in ages.

Chicago Cubs2012: 61-101, fifth

place.Manager: Dale

Sveum (second season).He’s Here: RHP

Edwin Jackson, RHPScott Baker, RHP ScottFeldman, RHP CarlosVillanueva, RHP KyujiFujikawa, C DionerNavarro, OF NateSchierholtz.He’s Outta Here:

1B-RF Bryan LaHair,RHP Chris Volstad, CAnthony Recker.Projected Lineup:

CF David DeJesus (.263,9 HRs, 50 RBIs), SSStarlin Castro (.283, 14,78), 1B Anthony Rizzo(.285, 15, 48 in 87games), LF Alfonso Sori-ano (.262, 32, 108), RFNate Schierholtz (.257,6, 21 with San Franciscoand Philadelphia) orScott Hairston (.263, 20,57 with Mets), 2B Dar-win Barney (.254, 7, 44),C Welington Castillo(.265, 5, 22), 3B Luis Val-buena (.219, 4, 28).Rotation: RH Jeff

Samardzija (9-13, 3.81ERA, 180 Ks), RH EdwinJackson (10-11, 4.03with Washington), RHMatt Garza (5-7, 3.91, 18starts), RH Scott Feld-man (6-11, 5.09 withTexas), LH Travis Wood(6-13, 4.27) or RH CarlosVillanueva (7-7, 4.16 in38 games, 16 starts withToronto).Key Relievers: RH

Carlos Marmol (3-3,3.42, 20/23 saves), RHPKyuji Fujikawa (2-2,1.32, 24 saves with Han-shin Tigers in Japan),RH Shawn Camp (3-6,3.59, 2 saves in majorleague-high 80 games),LH James Russell (7-1,3.25, 2 saves in 77games), RH MichaelBowden (0-0, 2.95 in 32games with Red Sox andCubs).Hot Spots: Garza is

expected to be sidelineduntil early to mid-Maybecause of a strained leftlat, a blow to the Cubson two fronts. He’s one oftheir best pitchers andone of their most attrac-tive trade chips. Sori-ano’s name also is aregular in the rumormill, and Marmol’s sta-tus as closer seemsshaky, given the deal inplace with the Los Ange-les Angels for pitcherDan Haren that fellthrough and the arrivalof Fujikawa from Japan.Outlook: As they

enter the second year ofthe Theo Epstein era,the Cubs remain in theearly stages of a buildingprocess. They did, how-ever, try to speed thingsalong. They made a bigplay for Anibal Sanchezbefore he re-signed withDetroit and then signedJackson to a $52 million,four-year deal, all afterthe Marmol-Haren tradefell through. Those werebreaks from the smallerdeals the Cubs hadmade to that point underEpstein. They still havea long way to go, though.This isn’t about quickfixes. The Cubs are try-ing to build up theirminor league system,hoping the payoff will bethe club’s first champi-onship since 1908. De-spite the record lastseason, they believethey’re on the right path.They have six potentialstarters with Jackson,Garza and Samardzijaleading the rotation, andthey can boast a youngAll-Star shortstop inCastro along with a GoldGlove second basemanin Barney.

CELINA — MercerHealth is offering freeprostate cancer screen-ings for the second time insix months.

The screenings will beoffered during clinics onApril 23 from 8 to 11 a.m.and April 25 from 5 to 7p.m. at the CommunityMedical Center in Celina.The screenings will beconducted in cooperationwith local urologist Dr. T.Amaran.

According to ReneeKinney, R.N., director ofcommunity services atMercer Health, cancercontinues to afflict theMercer County area at ahigher rate than state andnational averages.

“Our clinics have al-ways been full in the fall,”

she said. “It is wonderfulto provide the service to somanymen in our commu-nity; however, we recog-nize that there are manymenwehave to turn awaybecause the clinic does fillup so quickly. Further-more, the incidences ofcancer in general in ourarea is higher than aver-age, therefore we need tooffer more opportunitiesto screen more men.”

Medical professionalsstate men age 40 andolder are at risk forprostate cancer with therisk increasing as menage. Men with a familyhistory of prostate cancerare at higher risk for de-veloping the disease andshould begin gettingchecked at age 35.

The prostate cancerscreening includes aprostate-specific antigen(PSA) blood test and a dig-ital rectal exam (DRE)that will be done by Ama-ran. Also included in theblood test is a total choles-terol and testosterone-level screening, as manyfactors play into overallhealth awareness and aman’s overall risk ofprostate cancer.

For more informationabout the screening or toregister, call (419) 586-1220.A limited number ofopenings are available.Menwith a family historyof prostate cancer, thosebetween the ages of 40 to75,and those not screenedin the past year will begiven priority.

DR. WAL-LACE: I helppeople in dis-tress, and I lovemy job verymuch. I am a911 operatorand would liketo pass alongsome tips thatwill bring assis-tance as soon asphysically pos-sible. I wouldsuggest that your read-ers clip these tips out ofthe newspaper and placethem near the tele-phone! They might alsocarry a copy in theirwallets or purses.After dialing 911 and

reaching an operator:1. Stay calm: Speak

slowly and clearly.2. Be exact about your

location: Give yourname, phone number,address, apartmentnumber, city or town anddirections, includinglandmarks or crossstreets.3. Describe the type of

help you need: Is it med-ical, police or fire assis-tance?4. Give details about

a victim’s condition: Is aperson bleeding se-verely? Choking? Un-conscious?5. Describe any first

aid that’s been given:Has the person receivedcardiopulmonary resus-citation or other emer-gency care?6. Describe a victim’s

location: Is he or she inthe upstairs bedroom?Downstairs on the bath-room floor?7. Listen carefully,

and then writedown instruc-tions. Ask thedispatcher to re-peat informa-tion ifnecessary.8. Don’t hang

up too soon;wait until thedispatcher tellsyou to.9. Make sure

your housenumber is clearly visi-ble. If it’s after dark,turn a light on outdoorsto show your housenumber.—911 Operator,Wichita, Kan.

O P E R A T O R :Thanks for this impor-tant information. Dial-ing 911 has helpedmillions of people inharm’s way and savedmany lives. Words can’tadequately describeyour value to citizens.

TEENS: If you main-tain high grades, youprobably limit your timewatching television. Re-search reaffirms TV’snegative influence onthe educational process.Indeed, three separatefindings on this issuewere published in theArchives of Pediatricsand Adolescent Medi-cine.A study of 400 stu-

dents in Northern Cali-fornia found that thosewith TVs in their bed-room scored eight pointslower on math and lan-guage-arts tests thanstudents without bed-room televisions. An-other study of 1,000adults in New Zealand

found lower educationlevels among 26-year-olds who had watched alot of television whenthey were young.A thirdstudy of 1,800 U.S. chil-dren found that thosewho viewed at leastthree hours of televisiondaily before age 3 scoredslightly less on aca-demic tests at age 6than those who watchedless television. The ef-fect was modest butworrisome, according toresearchers.Data suggest that

American children up toage 6 watch about anhour of television perday, while teens sit infront of the television anaverage of three hoursdaily. Not all televisioncan be labeled as awaste of time. Many ed-ucational programs(History Channel, PublicBroadcasting, and se-lected network pro-grams, for example) canbe beneficial to the over-all learning process. It’sthe addictive quality ofjunk TV that regresseslearning.

For Monday, March25, 2013

ARIES(March 21 to April 19)This is a curious day

and a bit tough to handle.You might be full of won-derful, creative ideas atwork; nevertheless, it’sbest if you don’t agree toanything important. Nottoday. Just explore themental landscape.

TAURUS(April 20 to May 20)Artists and anyone in-

volved in a creative proj-ect will make greatstrides today, because it’seasy to think outside ofthe box.You’re innovativeand original. Enjoy play-ful times with children.

GEMINI(May 21 to June 20)Family events can be

fun, relaxed and ex-tremely jovial. People arebig-hearted and easygo-ing today.Do entertain athome.

CANCER(June 21 to July 22)Although you’re full of

creative ideas today, andconversations with oth-ers are bursting with en-thusiasm and originality,don’t agree to anythingimportant. Just enjoy the

moment.LEO

(July 23 to Aug. 22)This is a poor day for

major expenditures.Don’t spend money onanything except food. Becareful. Just goof offtoday.

VIRGO(Aug. 23 to Sept. 22)You feel lighthearted

and friendly with every-one today, which is whyit’s a great day toschmooze. Others will beattracted to your enthu-siasm.

LIBRA(Sept. 23 to Oct. 22)You might be more in

touch with your psychicpowers than usual today.You certainly will feel in-terested in esoteric, hid-den subjects andanything mysterious.

SCORPIO(Oct. 23 to Nov. 21)Conversations with

others will be sponta-neously open and franktoday. People feel unusu-ally trusting. Plus, theyfeel very casual and will-ing to shrug things off.

SAGITTARIUS(Nov. 22 to Dec. 21)Keep all discussions

with authority figures ata lighthearted leveltoday.Don’t volunteer foranything, and don’t agreeto any important com-mitments.

CAPRICORN(Dec. 22 to Jan. 19)Travel plans are a bit

loosey-goosey today.

AQUARIUS(Jan. 20 to Feb. 18)This is a poor day to

discuss inheritances,wills, insurance matters,taxes and debt. Don’tagree to how anythingshould be shared today.Keep treading water.

PISCES(Feb. 19 to March 20)Relations with others

will be casual, maybeslightly confusing, but onthe whole, quite pleasanttoday. Be careful that youdon’t bite off more thanyou can chew. Easy doesit. And if somethingsounds too good to betrue, it probably is.

YOU BORN TODAYYou’re highly energetic!You’re also a naturalleader because of yourtake-charge enthusiasm.Sometimes people expecttoo much of you becauseof your high energy, andthis discourages you. Al-though you don’t mindmaking a big splash, pro-fessionally speaking,your private life is yourown. In your year ahead,you will have a chance tostudy or learn somethingvaluable.

In March the Amer-ican Optometric As-sociation promotesSave Your VisionMonth to raiseawareness about theimportance of pro-tecting our eyesightfrom preventablecauses of aging andstress. Here are threethings you can do athome to preserveyour vision and pro-tect your eyes.

Avoid “screensquint”. Staring at acomputer or TV

screen for hours onend is stressful for eyemuscles. Set yourmonitor at eye leveland facing away fromany light sources tominimize reflectionson the screen. Takeregular “eyeballbreaks” from screenwork, changing yourfocus to another objectfarther away everyfew minutes. Chang-ing the color settingsof your user softwarecan also help; forsome people it is less

straining to readblack text on a grayrather than whitebackground.

Cover eyes to keepout ultraviolet rays.Years of exposure tothe sun’s harmful rayscan age eyes prema-turely, predisposingthem to cataracts,macular degeneration,and eye cancer. Wear apeaked hat and UV-fil-tering sunglasses whenoutdoors or driving.Make sure that lensesare adequately largeand that they are ratedto screen out 99 to 100percent of UV rays.

Deal quickly witheye trauma. Making awrong move whenputting in contactlenses or getting too

close to a bush’sbranches while gar-dening can lead to acorneal abrasion. Inmost cases the eye willstart to heal itself im-mediately, but if dis-comfort persists formore than a day, see adoctor or ophthalmol-ogist.

cussion of the fatal crashon I-75 on March 5 inwhich a vehicle slid onan icy bridge, crossedthe median and struck asemi-tractor trailer headon. Excessive speed forroad conditions wasthought to be a con-tributing factor in thecrash. Committee Chair

group with a summaryof HB 99 and advisedthat thus far, no ticketshad been issued byTroopers from the PiquaPost for texting whiledriving.“I often observe the

offense in my private ve-hicle,” Albers stated,“but thus far, no one hascommitted the offense inmy presence while I’vebeen in uniform in acruiser.” Albers alsostated that the Patrolwas not in favor of eitherincreasing the speedlimit or the weight oftrucks.Barhorst reported

that the June 18 meet-ing would be held at theShelby County Sheriff ’sOffice. Meetings begin at8:30 a.m. and last ap-proximately one hour.
