Faber:Senateready tooutlawInternetcafes
BY JULIE CARR SMYTHThe Associated Press
COLUMBUS (AP) — Atthe urging of some of thestate’s top law enforcers, theonce reticent Ohio Senate hasdecided to move forward witha ban on Internet cafes theynow believe are conducting il-legal gambling.Republican Senate Presi-
dent Keith Faber saidWednesday that a majority ofhis caucus now agrees thecafes are involved in criminalactivities, including illegalgambling, and should be out-lawed.Faber introduced an emer-
gency bill late Tuesday imme-diately halting any newInternet cafes and requiringoperators of current ones tofile new, more thorough affi-davits with the state that in-clude backgroundinformation on the facilities’true owners.There is one Internet cafe
in Sidney — SweepstakesCafe, which is at 1546 Michi-gan St. (Sidney Plaza).“Hopefully, we can get this
done in a way that we don’thave to worry about thisagain,” Faber said. “But his-tory has proven that this issomething where we have tostay vigilant. These folks whofigure out a way to operate inthis area have a willingness tobend the law.”The GOP-controlled cham-
ber only last week had sig-naled a bill limiting cashpayouts from the cafes wasstill in trouble. The OhioHouse had sent two similarmeasures since last year tothe Senate, where they’d got-ten bottled up in committee.Joseph Rice, a lobbyist for
several of the cafes in theCleveland-area, called Faber’sannouncement interesting.

heard them cry. We can’t leave them behindthis way,” said fire official Abul Khayer. Res-cue operations illuminated by floodlights con-tinued through the night.
The disaster came less than five monthsafter a factory fire killed 112 people and un-derscored the unsafe conditions inBangladesh’s massive garment industry.Workers said they had hesitated to go to
into the building on Wednesday morning be-cause it had developed such large cracks a dayearlier that it even drew the attention of localnews channels.Abdur Rahim, who worked on the fifth floor,
said a factory manager gave assurances thatthere was no problem, so employees went in-side.“After about an hour or so, the building col-

Statewide unemployment numbers are still com-paring favorably with the rest of the country. Na-tionwide, the seasonally adjusted rate ofunemployment for March was 7.6 percent; Febru-ary was 7.7 percent. However, the size of the laborpool was down by nearly half a million in those cal-culations, and the estimated number of people em-ployed went down, despite the improvement in theunemployment numbers. Seasonally adjusted un-employment nationwide in March 2012 was 8.2 per-cent.
“Certainly we’re pleased to see our unemploy-ment rate in Shelby County stabilized and signifi-cantly improved from that of the first quarter2012,” said Jeff Raible, president of the Sidney-Shelby County Chamber of Commerce. “To some de-gree, however, I remain a bit perplexed in that ourcounty unemployment rate isn’t lower. Based onfeedback we receive regularly at the Chamber,many of our member companies across all businesssegments are looking to hire. The challenge seemsto be getting the qualified candidates for employ-ment matched up with our local companies inter-ested in adding staff.”
Among the state’s 88 counties, March 2013 un-employment rates ranged from a low of 4.6 percentin Mercer County to a high of 13.4 percent in PikeCounty. Rates fell in 85 of 88 counties. The compa-
rable rate for the state was 7.3 percent in March.Shelby County’s unemployment level was ranked78th of Ohio’s counties (with highest unemploy-ment ranked No. 1 and lowest ranked No. 88).
Six counties had unemployment rates below 6.0percent in March. The counties with the lowestrates, other than Mercer, were: Delaware, 4.9 per-cent; Holmes, 5.1; Auglaize, 5.4; Union, 5.7; andHancock, 5.8.
Eight counties had unemployment rates above11.0 percent in March. The counties with the high-est rates, other than Pike, were: Morgan, 12.3 per-cent; Meigs, 12.2; Huron, 12.1;Adams, 12.0; Ottawa,11.9; Vinton, 11.6; and Scioto, 11.2.
March jobless rates for surrounding counties,compared to February, with no seasonal adjust-ments, are as follows: Allen, 8.0, down from 8.5;Auglaize, 5.4, down from 5.8; Champaign, 7.7, upfrom 7.3; Darke, 7.0, down from 7.7; Logan, 6.9,down from 7.2; Mercer, 4.6, down from 4.9; andMiami, 7.3, down from 8.2.

Democrat enters 2014Ohio governor raceCOLUMBUS (AP) — As he enters the race for
Ohio governor,Cuyahoga County’s Democratic leaderand former FBI agent Ed FitzGerald must convincevoters that being “Public Official 14” in a county cor-ruption probe didn’t imply wrongdoing.Republicans are seizing on the connection to the
probe, calling Democrat FitzGerald an unusuallyweak candidate.FitzGerald, the leader of Cuyahoga County gov-
ernment in Cleveland, officially entered the campaignWednesday to challenge Ohio Republican Gov. JohnKasich in next year’s election and called the incum-bent and his policies divisive and extreme.The county executive and former Lakewoodmayor
kicked off his campaign in a crowded Cleveland ball-room, describing the Kasich administration as lobby-ist-directed, cutting school aid and backing taxpolicies that benefit the rich.FitzGerald repeated the announcement in Colum-
bus, and laterWednesday in Cincinnati.The 44-year-old calls himself a reformer who
helped restore integrity to a scandal-ridden countygovernment in Ohio’s most populous county.FitzGerald called Kasich policies destructive and
said Ohioans question the governor’s boast about aneconomicmiracle. “Amiracle for who,”FitzGerald saidto laughter.
County to reviewboy’s 2006 deathCOLUMBUS (AP) —
Almost seven years aftera black teenager died ina hanging at an Ohiochurch camp, authoritiesin the rural countywhere it happened havegranted a familylawyer’s request to re-view a coroner’s ruling ofsuicide.Logan County Prose-
cutor William T. Gosleesaid in an email sentTuesday that he plans tosubmit writing samplesto a state crime lab fromthe boy, James McCoyIII, and from a witnesswho recently invoked theFifth Amendmentagainst self-incrimina-tion in an ongoingwrongful death suit.The lawyer represent-
ing McCoy’s mother,Tonya Amoako-Okyere,cited the county’s recon-sideration in a requestMonday to U.S. AttorneyGeneral Eric Holder,asking federal authori-ties also to reconsiderthe case it had closed in2007.Amoako-Okyere al-
leges her son died as aresult of an asphyxiationprank little better than alynching played on theboy by his white friendsas a birthday prank. Sheseeks more than $5 mil-lion in damages.In his letter to the
U.S. Justice Department,attorney Cliff Arnebeckcited the witness’s recentrefusal to answer ques-tions as a pivotal devel-opment in the case.“As a consequence of
this dramatic change onthe part of the sole wit-ness to this as a suicide,the Logan County Sher-iff (Andrew J. Smith) hasreopened his investiga-tion of this matter,”Arnebeck wrote. “We re-quest that the JusticeDepartment do so aswell.”
Goslee said in hisemail that Arnebeck“grossly misstated” thereason Logan Countywas reopening the case.He said it had nothing todo with the witness’s de-cision to take the Fifth.“I do not see his asser-
tion of the Fifth Amend-ment as dramatic in theleast, nor do I know ofany evidence that wouldsuggest that Mr. McCoyfell victim to a chokinggame,” Goslee wrote.The lawsuit alleges
four campers gave falsestatements to authori-ties after the incident,leading officials to be-lieve McCoy had beendepressed and suicidal,and later created falsewritings to back up theirstory.Goslee said the
county wants to do a de-tailed analysis of hand-writing samples viewedby witnesses who say thewritings were notMcCoy’s to determine ifthey are “in fact not his.”Barry Fagel, a Cincin-
nati-based attorney forthe witness, told SheriffSmith in a March 28 let-ter that he urged hisclient to take the Fifth“because Mr. Arnebeckwas accusing (him) ofbeing involved in thedeath of James McCoy.”He said it’s a right af-forded under the U.S.Constitution and doesn’tin any way imply fault orguilt.News reports at the
time said authoritieswere told McCoy had in-explicably wandered offfrom the group and thathis friends were con-fused and shocked by hisdeath. A coroner’s reportcalled the death a sui-cide.The church camp is
near Bellefontaine,about 50 miles north-west of Columbus.
Expansion plan takes another hitTOLEDO (AP) — Gov.
John Kasich’s plan to expandMedicaid health insurancecoverage to more low-incomeOhioans as part of the statebudget has come up againstanother roadblock from Re-publicans who control theLegislature.The Senate’s version of the
state budget won’t include thegovernor’s proposed Medicaidexpansion, Senate PresidentKeith Faber said Wednesday,but he said that Medicaid “re-form” is not dead in Ohio.Whether that includes
Medicaid expansion — a keyelement of President BarackObama’s signature healthcare law — is not as clear.Lawmakers in the Ohio
House and Senate will begin
working on a Medicaid planthat is separate from thestate budget, said Faber, whowas careful to say that thefocus will be on reform andlong-term cost savings, notjust the expansion of the tax-payer-funded health insur-ance program.“That may include adding
more people to the Medicaidsystem, but it has to includeflexibility to perform andtransform a system thatworks better for Ohioans,”Faber said.Republicans in the Ohio
House already had strippedthe Medicaid proposal fromthe budget, but supporterswere hopeful the Senate couldrevive it.Kasich did not appear dis-
couraged by the change in di-rection by the Legislature. “Idon’t care how they do it. Justdo it,” he said.The governor has spent the
past three months trying topersuade state lawmakers togo along with extending Med-icaid coverage by drawing ona wide-range of people forsupport, from hospital execu-tives to food bank operators.He’s also appealed to the
spiritual side of his fellowGOP legislators, telling themthat the weak and vulnerableshould not be left behind.“I’m just going to keep at it
because I think it’s the rightthing for our state,” Kasichsaid Wednesday.Roughly 366,000 Ohio resi-
dents would be up for cover-
age under the expansion be-ginning in 2014 if it’s ap-proved.The Medicaid expansion is
one of the key components ofthe federal Affordable CareAct. Of the nearly 30 millionpeople expected to gain insur-ance coverage under the law,about half would get it fromthe expansion. A SupremeCourt ruling allowed states todecide for themselveswhether to expand the pro-gram.Kasich has said that going
forward with the expansionwill allow the state to recap-ture Ohio taxpayers’ federalmoney.Many GOP lawmakers are
averse to Obama’s law and re-sistant to expanding govern-
ment programs. And somequestion whether the federalgovernment will keep up withits share of the costs or passalong a bigger chunk of thebill to the states.Faber, a Republican from
Celina, said Wednesday thatany Medicaid proposal mustinclude cost savings and someflexibility on the part of thefederal government.The Kasich administration
has been in talks with federalofficials for months overwhether President BarackObama’s health law allowsany flexibility to use themoney from Washington toprovide private coverage tosome who would eligibleunder the Medicaid expan-sion.

A ‘familytattoo’
strategyWASHINGTON (AP) —
President Barack Obamahas a strategy to discouragehis daughters from re-belling, perhaps by gettinga tattoo himself.Obama says he and his
wife,Michelle, have told 14-year-oldMalia and 11-year-old Sasha that if they everdecide to get a tattoo then“mommy and me” will getthe same tattoo in the sameplace on their bodies andshow it off on YouTube as a“family tattoo.”Obama commented in an
interview taped last weekand broadcast Wednesdayon NBC’s “Today.”The president also dis-
missed the first lady’s re-cent reference to herself asa single mom during a sep-arate television interview.Obama suggested the
comment was a slip of thetongue. But he also ac-knowledged there havebeen times in his politicalcareer when she probablydid feel like a single parent.
culprits would be punished.”Among the textile busi-
nesses in the building werePhantom Apparels Ltd., NewWave Style Ltd., New WaveBottoms Ltd. and New WaveBrothers Ltd., which makeclothing for major brands in-cluding The Children’s Place,Dress Barn, and Primark.Jane Singer, a spokes-
woman for The Children’sPlace, said that “while one ofthe garment factories locatedin the building complex hasproduced apparel for TheChildren’s Place, none of ourproduct was in production atthe time of this accident.”“Our deepest sympathies
go out to the victims of thisterrible tragedy and theirfamilies,” Singer said in astatement.Dress Barn said that to its
knowledge, it had “not pur-chased any clothing from thatfacility since 2010. We work
with suppliers around theworld to manufacture ourclothing, and have a supplychain transparency programto protect the rights of work-ers and their safety.”Primark, a major British
clothing retailer, confirmedthat one of the suppliers ituses to produce some of itsgoods was located on the sec-ond floor of the building.In a statement emailed to
The Associated Press, Pri-mark said it was “shockedand deeply saddened by theappalling incident.” It addedthat it has been working withother retailers to review thecountry’s approach to factorystandards and will now pushfor this review to includebuilding integrity.Meanwhile, Primark’s eth-
ical trade team is working tocollect information, assesswhich communities the work-ers come from, and to provide
support “where possible.”John Howe, Cato’s chief fi-
nancial officer and executivevice president, told The Asso-ciated Press that it didn’t con-tract with any of the factoriesdirectly but it’s currently in-vestigating what its “ties”were.Howe said that one of
Cato’s domestic importerscould have used one of thefactories to fulfill some of theorders the retailer had placed.It’s expected to have more in-formation by Thursday.Spanish retailer Mango de-
nied reports it was using anyof the suppliers in the build-ing. However, in an emailstatement to the AP, it saidthat there had been conversa-tions with one of them to pro-duce a batch of test products.Kevin Gardner, a
spokesman at Wal-MartStores, Inc., the second-largest clothing producer in
Bangladesh, said the com-pany is investigating to see ifa factory in the building wascurrently producing for thechain.“We remain committed and
are actively engaged in pro-moting stronger safety meas-ures, and that workcontinues,” Gardner added.Workers said they didn’t
know what specific clothingbrands were being producedin the building because labelsare attached after the prod-ucts are finished.Charles Kernaghan, execu-
tive director of the Institutefor Global Labour andHuman Rights, which has anoffice in nearby Dhaka, sayshis staff is investigating thesituation. He’s hoping histeam, working with localworkers’ groups, will be ableto find out which brands werehaving their products madeat the time of the collapse.

Dead bomber’sname in databaseWASHINGTON (AP)—The
federal government added thename of the dead BostonMarathon bombing suspect to aterrorist database 18 monthsbefore the deadly explosions,U.S. officials told The Associ-ated Press onWednesday.TheCIAmade the request to
addTamerlanTsarnaev’s nameto the terrorist database afterthe Russian government con-tacted the agency with con-cerns that he had become afollower of radical Islam.Aboutsix months earlier, the FBI hadseparately investigated Tsar-naev, also at Russia’s request,but the FBI found no ties to ter-rorism, officials said.The new disclosure that
Tsarnaev was included withina huge, classified database ofknown and suspected terroristsbefore the attackswas expectedto drive congressional inquiriesin comingweeks aboutwhetherthe Obama administration ad-equately investigated tips fromRussia that Tsarnaev hadposed a security threat. Shortlyafter the bombings, U.S. offi-cials said the intelligence com-munity had no informationabout threats to the marathonbefore the April 15 explosions.
Tsarnaev died Friday in apolice shootout hours before hisyounger brother, Dzhokhar,was discovered hiding in a boatin a suburban back yard.The terrorist database is
called TIDE, the TerroristIdentities Datamart Environ-ment. Analysts at the U.S. Na-tional CounterterrorismCenter submit names and evenpartial names into TIDE.About a year ago, there weresome 745,000 people listed inthe database. Intelligence ana-lysts scour TIDE, trying to es-tablish connections and updatefiles as new intelligence is un-covered.For entries with a full name,
date of birth and intelligenceindicating a reasonable suspi-cion that a person is a terroristor has terror ties, the person’sname is sent to a terror watchlist, which feeds into lists likethe one that bans known orsuspected terrorists from trav-eling on planes.Officials say they never
found the type of derogatory in-formation on Tsarnaev thatwould have elevated his profileamong counterterrorism inves-tigators and placed him on theterror watch list.
Feud loomsover ricin probeOXFORD,Miss. (AP)—The
investigation into poisoned let-ters mailed to PresidentBarack Obama and others hasshifted from an Elvis imper-sonator to his longtime foe,and authorities must now fig-ure out if an online feud be-tween the twomenmight haveescalated into something moresinister.Paul Kevin Curtis, 45, was
released from a north Missis-sippi jail on Tuesday andcharges against him weredropped, nearly a week afterauthorities charged him withsending ricin-laced letters tothe president, Republican U.S.Sen. Roger Wicker of Missis-sippi and an 80-year-old LeeCounty, Miss., Justice Courtjudge, Sadie Holland.Before Curtis left jail, au-
thorities had already de-scended on the home of41-year-old Everett Dutschkein Tupelo, a northeast Missis-sippi town best known as thebirthplace of the King himself.On Wednesday, they searchedthe site of a Tupelo martialarts studio once operated byDutschke, who hasn’t been ar-rested or charged.Wednesday evening, haz-
mat teams packed up and leftDutschke’s business.He was atthe scene at times during theday. A woman drove off in agreen Dodge Caravan parkedon the street that had beensearched. Daniel McMullen,FBI special agent in charge inMississippi, declined to speakwith reporters afterward.Dutschke’s attorney, Lori
Nail Basham, said he is “coop-erating fully” with investiga-tors and that no arrestwarrant had been issued.
Is there a risk including gaypartners in immigration bill?WASHINGTON (AP) —
Frustrated at being left out ofan immigration overhaul, gayrights groups are pushing toadjust a bipartisan Senate billto include gay couples. But De-mocrats are treading carefully,wary of adding another divi-sive issue that could lose Re-publican support andjeopardize the entire bill.Both parties want the bill to
succeed. Merely getting toagreement on the basic frame-work for the immigration over-haul, which would create along and costly path to citizen-ship for the estimated 11 mil-lion people in the U.S. illegally,was no small feat for senators.And getting it through a di-vided Congress is still far from
a done deal.Even so, gay rights groups,
their lobbyists and grass-rootssupporters are insisting thedeal shouldn’t exclude bi-na-tional, same-sex couples —about 28,500 of them, accord-ing to a 2011 study from theWilliams Institute at UCLALaw. They’re ramping up acampaign to change the bill toallow gay Americans to spon-sor their partners for greencards, the same way straightAmericans can. Supporterstrekked to the Capitol to maketheir case at senators’ officesonWednesday.“Opponents will be propos-
ing amendments that, ifpassed, could collapse this veryfragile coalition that we’ve
been able to achieve,” Sen.John McCain, an Arizona Re-publican, said last week at theunveiling of the bill. He saidthe eight senators from bothparties who crafted the legis-lation are committed to votingagainst changes that could killit.For Democrats, it’s a precar-
ious position to be in. Demo-cratic senatorsoverwhelmingly support gaymarriage — all but three arenow on the record voicing theirsupport — and two dozen ofthem this year backed a sepa-rate bill called the UnitingAmerican Families Act to letgays sponsor their partners in-dependent of a comprehensiveimmigration overhaul.
Minaret of mosque destroyedBEIRUT (AP) — The 11th-
century minaret of a famedmosque that towered over thenarrow stone alleyways ofAleppo’s old quarter collapsedWednesday as rebels and gov-ernment troops fought pitchedbattles in the streets aroundit, depriving the ancient Syr-ian city of one of its most im-portant landmarks.President Bashar Assad’s
government and the rebelstrying to overthrow himtraded blame over the de-struction to the UmayyadMosque, a UNESCO worldheritage site and centerpieceof Aleppo’s walled Old City.“This is like blowing up the
Taj Mahal or destroying the
Acropolis in Athens. Thismosque is a living sanctuary,”said Helga Seeden, a professorof archaeology at the Ameri-can University of Beirut.“This is a disaster. In terms ofheritage, this is the worst I’veseen in Syria. I’m horrified.”Aleppo, Syria’s largest city
and a commercial hub,emerged as a key battle-ground in the nation’s civilwar after rebels launched anoffensive there last summer.Since then, the fighting hascarved the city into rebel- andregime-held zones, killedthousands of people, forcedthousands more to flee theirhomes and laid waste to en-tire neighborhoods.
The Umayyad Mosquecomplex, which dates mostlyfrom the 12th century, suf-fered extensive damage in Oc-tober as both sides fought tocontrol the walled compoundin the heart of the old city.Thefighting left the mosqueburned, scarred by bullets andtrashed. Two weeks earlier,the nearby medieval coveredmarket, or souk, was guttedby a fire sparked by fighting.With thousands of years of
written history, Syria ishome to archaeological treas-ures that date back to bibli-cal times, including thedesert oasis of Palmyra, acultural center of the ancientworld.
Dear Heloise:Please advise meon how to storeflashlight batter-ies. I was told toput them in therefrigerator untilusing.Thank youfor your assis-tance. — Irene B.inWest Virginia
To see or notto see (with aworking flash-light), that is thequestion! The refrigeratorisNOT the place for flash-light batteries. Batteriestoday are not your grand-mother’s batteries of yes-terday. You want to storeyour flashlight and bat-

Anna girl hopes for new earBY PATRICIA ANN
SPEELMANpspeelman@
civitasmedia.com
Friends and family ofIvy Welsh, 13, of Anna,will host an event to ben-efit her Saturday at theVFW hall, 2841 Wa-pakoneta Ave., from 6 to9 p.m.
The event will includea sloppy joe dinner, corn-hole tournament, kid-friendly games, acoloring contest, rafflesof gift baskets and a50/50 drawing. Ticketscost $8 for adults, $6 forchildren. The menu willinclude sloppy joes,baked beans, chips andsoda.
Another benefit willbe May 5 from 11:30 a.m.to 1:30 p.m. at the Wa-pakoneta First EnglishLutheran Church.
Ivy, the daughter ofNicole and DwightWelsh, suffers from mi-crotia, an ear deformity.She was born without aright ear or ear drum. Inher short life, she hasundergone 17 surgeriesin an attempt to correctthe problem. She hasabout 40 percent hearingability in her right ear,about 70 percent in her“good” left ear.
“There was a doctor inCincinnati who tried toreconstruct (her rightear),” said her mother.“They took cartilagefrom the rib and skingrafts from her side.They tried to make anear drum.”
It was 2006 and Ivywas 6 at the time. Theprocess was to involveseveral surgeries overthe course of two orthree years.
“For the first and sec-ond surgeries, I could tellthe difference (in hear-ing). But then betweenthe third and fourth, itgot really bad,” Ivy said.There were drainageproblems and infections.And in 2008, doctorsbegan to see a lot of scar-ring, Nicole said.
“Even the doctor iskind of baffled,” sheadded. “They sent us toget a second opinion atNationwide Children’s(Hospital) in Columbus.They said they couldn’tdo anything.”
Ivy, a sixth-grader atAnna Middle School,said her ear problemsdon’t seem to affect herbalance, but in photos ofher, she often seems tobe leaning to the right.
“They said it’s hercompensating to hearwhere sound is comingfrom,” Nicole said.
Despite her deafness,Ivy has always been mu-sically inclined. As ayoungster, Nicole said,Ivy played on pots andpans. Now, she playsdrums in the schoolband. She appreciatesher band teacher, RobertDavis, whom she saidshe will miss when heleaves at the end of theschool year. Her favoriteteacher, however, is herscience teacher, JeffMaurer.
“He made me feelgood about myself,” Ivysaid. “He said, ‘No mat-ter how you look on theoutside, it’s what’s insidethat counts.’ I want to bea girl who can wear herhair up, have my earspierced and not beteased at school for mydifferences.”
Recently, the Welshfamily, which includesIvy’s younger sister, Lily,8, learned of a medicalprocedure practiced byDr. Sheryl Lewin in Cal-ifornia. Lewin “is a cran-i o f a c i a l - t r a i n e d ,board-certified plasticsurgeon who has devotedher career to ear recon-struction,” according to
her website. “She hasperformed over 400 sur-geries for children withmicrotia. Dr. Lewin’s cre-ative and artistic skillshave enabled her to de-velop surgical advancesin Medpor ear recon-struction that reducescarring, improve visualoutcomes, and eliminateskin grafts from otherparts of the bodythrough tissue expan-sion,” the website says.
Lewin also workswith a nonprofit organi-zation, Earicles, whichpays for the surgicalwork Lewin can provide.Ivy has been approvedfor surgery support byEaricles and work isscheduled for June 17.But the family mustraise enough money tocover the costs of lodg-ing, transportation andfood for a month inSanta Monica and forsubsequent visits.
The Welshes will alsohave to purchase med-ications in Californiathat Ivy already takes ona regular basis.
“And we can’t use themedical card (that dis-counts pharmacy pur-chases) out of state,”Nicole said.
Dwight, a truck driverfor MLS, and Nicole, afull-time distance-learn-ing candidate for a mas-ter’s degree at GrandCanyon University, haveplaced donation jars inseveral locations:Clancy’s, Sidney Tire,
Al’s Pizza, Sidney Apos-tolic Church and theDawg Pound Lounge inSidney and CharlieBrown’s in Anna. Theywill also accept dona-tions by mail at P.O. Box305, Anna, OH 45302.And Ivy has set up a do-nation opportunity atwww.gofundme.com/25o0sc.
“It’s been financiallyhard on us,” Nicole saidof all the surgeries andhospitalizations the fam-ily has endured. “This isgoing to change themorale of our whole fam-ily unit.”
Mom, dad and daugh-ter already have planetickets and are excitedabout their trip. It willbe the first time Ivy andNicole have flown.
“We’re not too nervousabout the surgery, butwe are about the plane,”Ivy said. “I’m taking a lotof bubble gum on theplane so my ears don’tpop.” Lily will stay withher grandparents.
Ivy can’t imaginebeing on a plane forhours and hours and notbeing able to text herfriends. But she loves todraw, especially BugsBunny and Tweety, soart may keep her occu-pied during the longflight.And she hopes herhearing improves so shecan continue to singkaraoke with her family.
“We like country, hiphop, Justin Bieber andOne Direction,” Ivy said.

The ShelbyCountyGe-nealogical Society heard aprogram titled “Talking totheDead,”whichwas pre-sented by Debbie CarderMayes during the society’srecent meeting at theFirst Church of God.
The dead talk throughthe records that they’veleft behind, Mayes said.The sources of the recordsare varied. Home recordswould be in the form of di-aries, letters, familyBibles, funeral books andcards.Death records couldbe in the form of urns,weeping willows on head-stones, engraved mourn-ing jewelry and obituaries.
The Rutherford B.Hayes memorial is asource of obituaries. Thelocal newspapers can sup-ply death notices, probatenotices, thank-you and re-membrances notices,transfers of real estate, fu-neral notices, in-memo-riam notices and annual
death notices. Heirsearches may be in theclassifieds under legal no-tices. There could be arti-cles about tragic deaths,birth announcements andpeople going into the mil-itary. Church records andnewsletters can be help-ful.
In the New Englandstates, they have townrecords that can help linkfamily members. Thereare city directories andthe federal census. Thereare records available toresearch through the Sonsof the American Revolu-tion,Mayse said.The com-puter can be a help to findrecords through programssuch as Heritage Quest,which can be accessedthrough public libraries.The Church of JesusChrist of the Latter DaySaints has a large compi-lation of records. Deathcertificateswere first usedin 1908, she noted.

Next Thurs-day evening,May 2, at 7, theShelby CountyMinisterial As-sociation will behosting a serv-ice at Church ofGod on Camp-bell Road. Thatday is desig-nated as theNational Day ofPrayer. It is anopportunity forpeople of allfaiths to assemble andlift up prayers for ourcommunity, our stateand our nation, andservices like ours will beheld throughout theUnited States.On Saturday morn-
ing, May 18, there willbe another opportunityfor concerned Christiansto meet together to prayfor our community. TheCommunity PrayerBreakfast will be heldthat morning at theChristian Academy. Thisevent was begun severalyears ago by a group ofSidney businessmenwho knew the value of
prayer in theirpersonal livesand also howpowerful theimpact of corpo-rate prayercould be for ourcommunity andso invited oth-ers to join them.Throughout
the Old andNew Testa-ments, prayer isused as ameans of com-
municating with God. 1Chronicles 16:11: “Lookto the Lord and hisstrength; seek his facealways,” is echoed in 1Thessalonians as Paulencourages us to praycontinuously.The writers of the
Gospels recorded for usthe teachings of Jesus inregard to prayer andhave blessed us with thegift of the Lord’s Prayerand those marvelousparables found in Luke18. Jesus knew that per-sistent prayer wasneeded for various cir-cumstances of our livesand also that the atti-
tude of our heart needsto be one of humility. Hetaught that prayerbrought healing andthat prayer nourishedour spiritual lives. Histeachings included timefor personal, privateprayers, corporateprayers with others,prayers of thanksgivingand prayers of confes-sion, prayers for our-selves and prayers forothers.So, is prayer an im-
portant, continual, thingthat we do or is it one ofthose things that we feeltrapped into when we’reat church?We’ve becomepeople who expect im-mediate results withvery little, if any, quietreflective time in ourlives. We tend to useprayer as a last resortwhile ignoring that Godclearly wants it to be ourfirst line of defense. Wepray when there’s noth-ing else we can do, butGod wants us to pray be-fore we do anything atall.Mother Teresa would
remind us: “Prayer is
not asking. Prayer isputting oneself in thehands of God, at his dis-position, and listening tohis voice in the depth ofour hearts.”I invite you to join me
for the National Day ofPrayer and for the Com-munity Prayer Break-fast. Neither one of thesewill cost you anythingbut an hour or two ofyour time. Each of themwill provide you an op-portunity to sit quietlyfor a few moments with-out the weight of theworld on your shoulders.“Do not be anxious
about anything, but ineverything, by prayerand petition, withthanksgiving, presentyour requests to God.And the peace of God,which transcends all un-derstanding, will guardyour hearts and yourminds in Christ Jesus.”(Philippians 4:6-7)
The writer is the asso-ciate pastor of care andnurture at the SidneyFirst United MethodistChurch.

Issue #29 - April 25, 2013
Fifty years and countingBBYY:: EELLLLIIEE CCAAIINNFor Sister Ginny Scherer, being a teacher was the last
thing she imagined herself doing in her high schoolyears. She always wanted to be in the medical field, butthen she heard God’s call for her life.Sister attended the College of Mount St. Joseph in
Cincinnati where she earned a B.A. in Math and Chem-istry in 1962. Her first teaching assignment was at thenewly opened Archbishop Alter High School in Kettering. She was then sent toHoly Angels Parish in Sidney by her religious community, the Sisters of Charity,and began teaching at Lehman Catholic when Holy Angels High School consoli-dated wtih Piqua Catholic High School to form Lehman in 1970. She received a M.S. from the University of Notre Dame in 1971 and taught
many math, science, and religion classes at Lehman. In 1977, she asked to leaveLehman to continue teaching both math and science at Marion Catholic HighSchool where she also served as co-principal with another sister. After ten yearsat Marion, she realized Lehman was where she truly wanted to be so she re-turned in 1987 and has been the chair of the Science Department ever since.“I love seeing the students mature and watch how their minds work,” said Sis-
ter. She is also the biggest fan of the Cavalier sports teams and loves seeing herstudents excel in all things.This year, on May 7, Sister Ginny will be honored at the annual Miami Valley
Catholic Schools dinner which recognizes Catholic teachers for every five yearsof service. While there will be many celebrating five years, ten years, 15 years,20 years, and even 25 and more, therewill be few who have reached Sister’smilestone of 50 years in education!Sister is an amazing teacher and
many look up to her in ways that can-not be explained. We are truly blessedto have such a wonderful teacher hereat Lehman for so long. “As long as Iam able, I will be teaching here,” saidSister Ginny. “Only God knows when Iwill stop.” Sister Ginny Scherer talks to
senior Samantha Neumeier
Going the distanceBBYY:: AALLLLYY BBEERRGGMMAANNAs winter turns to spring, Lehman’s seniors have college on the brain. What
they will major in, who there roommate will be, and most importantly what schoolthey will be attending are questions that should start becoming resolved. Moststudents will be staying local and know some friends attending the same school.However, a select few seniors are choosing to branch out and go the distance, lit-erally.As most everyone knows, senior Pierce Bennett is a die-hard country boy. This
is why it should come as no shock that he plans to head out west to Kansas forschool. “They have a great animal science program and I really like the atmos-phere,” he said.Fellow country lover Sloane Glover plans to return to her roots in West Virginia
by attending WVU. “It has always been my dream to be a Mountaneer,” she said.“It will also be exciting to be closer to family members who live in that area.”Also wanting to leave her home state, senior Lauren Bosway plans to head
south to North Carolina. She hopes to attend Wake Forest to major in biology.“They have a good pre-med program and I can hopefully get in without having totake the MCAT,” said Bosway. Millie Wildenhaus also plans on heading to the state known for their Carolina
blue. However, she plans on going to the UNC Wilimington branch and majoringin Music Education. Lehman Spanish teacher Jose Capote should be proud ofhis Spanish IV student because she also wants to minor in Spanish. “It’s farenough away to have some space but also close enough in case of an emer-gency,” she said. This year’s senior class is full of potential whether they’re remaining in the stateof Ohio or traveling across the country. We look forward to seeing what the futureholds for the class of 2013.
Run, throw, jump, winBBYY:: JJOOHHNN HHUUSSAAWith the track season underway for the Lehman Cavaliers, they are off to a hot
start. The Cavaliers are coached by Dwayne Rowley and Amanda Duritsch, andare led by five seniors: Sarah Titterington, Keaton Cole, Quinton Malone, NickHaussman, and Alyx Meyers.Three state qualifiers from last season are back, as Justin Stewart ran at state
in the 400m, Joe Fuller in the 3200m, and Sarah Titterington in the 400m, 200m,and 100m. All three are on pace to return to state this year, and hopefully wintheir events. Stewart says, “My goal is to make state again in the 100m, 200m,and 400m. I hope to win one or two of them, and have fun in the process.”Another three who are making some noise this year are Mitchell Slater, and the
Montgomery brothers, Brad and Ben. Slater has been placing high at meets, andhe is ranked sixth in the county in the 110 hurdles, and third in the 300 hurdles.Both Ben and Brad have placed third or higher in every meet in both the shot putand discus. At this pace, these three could join in the mix to be state qualifiers.Hopefully the Cavs continue their success, as things look very promising. With
young talent and room to improve, they can only continue to get better. Good luckto the track team the rest of the year, as we hope to keep seeing the success con-tinue the rest of the year and into districts, regionals, and state.

DR. WAL-LACE: Whenyou were a highschool student,were you suscep-tible to peerpressure and, ifso, what kind ofpressure was it?How were yourgrades? Did youenjoy your teenyears?What elsecan you tell meabout youryouth? I’m the editor ofour school newspaper,and I’d like to do a col-umn on you because I’dlike to write a teen col-umn when I graduatefrom college. —Katie,Chicago, Ill.
KATIE: Peer pressurewas around when I was astudent at EmersonHigh School in Gary,Ind., but not in quite sodangerous a form as wehave today.
My peers were mostlyathletes, and the biggestpressure I felt was toearn a varsity letter — abig, gray-block “E”— putit on a gold sweater andwear it to school at leasta dozen times a month. Iconfess that, because ofthat pressure, my gradeswere not as good as theycould have been.
Peer pressure causedme to spend more timeworking out for trackand cross-country thanstudying. I didn’t plan onattending college, so B’swere good enough. But I
was capable ofdoing better.
A l c o h o l(beer) and ciga-rettes were partof the highschool sceneback then, but Inever felt pres-sure to go inthat direction.Violence andcriminal behav-ior, drug abuseand gang activ-
ity were so rare amongteens then that theywere, for all practicalpurposes, nonexistent.
Six months after re-ceiving my high schooldiploma, I found myselfin the Navy shipping offto Korean waters be-cause the United Stateswas engaged in a war tokeep Korea a free nation.At war’s end, I returnedand used the GI Bill toattend Knox College inGalesburg, Illinois.
I thoroughly enjoyedmy teen years, and thefriends I made in highschool remain my friendstoday!
DR. WALLACE: Icaught my boyfriend outwith another girl. Hecalled and said he wassick and broke a datewith me, so I went to amovie with my older sis-ter. Guess who we saw?My boyfriend and an-other girl! He didn’t seeme, so I didn’t challengehim because I was with
my sister, and she does-n’t like him anyway.
The next day, “slick”Willie and I had a talk.He apologized and saidhe smoked marijuana forthe first time with hisbuddy and his sister, andthe girl he was out withwas the sister. He said henever would have takenher out if he hadn’tsmoked marijuana be-cause he didn’t knowwhat he was doing. Hepromised never to smokemarijuana again. I wantto believe him. Should I?—P.J., North Aurora, Ill.
P.J.: That’s one of themost pathetic excusesI’ve heard in a long time.Smoking marijuana is il-legal and unhealthy andcan be blamed for a lot ofstupid things, but notthis.Your boyfriend wentout with his buddy’s sis-ter because he wanted to,not because his mindwas temporarily alteredby pot.
So, not only does hebreak his word to youand lie about it, but healso refuses to take re-sponsibility for his ac-tions. You may want tobelieve him, but youwon’t, will you?
Dr. Robert Wallacewelcomes questions fromreaders. Although he isunable to reply to all ofthem individually, hewill answer as many aspossible in this column.Email him at rwal-

MINSTER — AnArbor Day celebrationwill be held Friday at12:30 p.m. at the FourSeasons Park in Min-ster.
The Arbor Day Foun-dation has named Min-ster as a 2012 Tree CityUSA in honor of its com-mitment to effectiveurban forest manage-ment. This is the 10thyear Minster has earnedthe national designa-tion.
The village receivedthe recognition by meet-ing the program’s fourrequirements: a treeboard or department, a
tree-care ordinance, anannual communityforestry budget of atleast $2 per capita andan Arbor Day obser-vance and proclamation.
The Tree City USAprogram is sponsored bythe Arbor Day Founda-tion in partnership withthe U.S. Forest Serviceand the National Associ-ation of State Foresters.
“Everyone benefitswhen elected officials,volunteers and commit-ted citizens in communi-ties like Minster makesmart investments inurban forests,” said JohnRosenow, founder and
chief executive of theArbor Day Foundation.“Trees bring shade toour homes and beauty toour neighborhoods,along with numerouseconomic, social and en-vironmental benefits.”
Cleaner air, improvedstorm water manage-ment, energy savingsand increased propertyvalues and commercialactivity are among thebenefits enjoyed by TreeCity USA communities.
More information onthe program is availablea tarborday.org/TreeCityUSA.

“It’s a very interest-ing development andwe will be monitoringthe legislative processvery closely,” he said.
Faber’s announce-ment follows pleas byOhio Attorney GeneralMike DeWine for leg-islative action, as wellas a pivotal 8th DistrictCourt of Appeals rulingconcluding the opera-tions were obvious gam-bling schemes.
DeWine, a fellow Re-publican, led a raid onsix of the facilities inthe Cleveland area lastweek in the wake ofthat ruling.
DeWine, FranklinCounty Prosecutor RonO’Brien and Ohio Pub-lic Safety Director TomCharles met with Sen-ate Republicans in aclosed-door briefingTuesday night to urgeaction, explaining thefinancial and staffingdemands being put onlaw enforcement agen-cies by the currentsetup.
The three flankedFaber as he made hisannouncement Wednes-day, lauding the cham-ber for its change ofheart.
“I think this is theright thing to do, and Ithink it helps us at thelocal level to spend ourtime and efforts on themurders, rapes, rob-beries, burglaries andheroin that we all facein the field every day,”O’Brien said.
He called it “a matterof resources and priori-ties for us.”
Faber, who took theSenate’s helm in Janu-ary, said he expects theban to move quickly. Hesaid House Speaker BillBatchelder has indi-cated his chamber issupportive of the ac-tion.

Frazier, Latos team upCINCINNATI (AP) —Todd
Frazier gave Mat Latos all therun support he needed, andLatos gave the CincinnatiReds exactly what theyneeded to finish off a 10-gamehomestand in style.Latos retired the first 10
batters and 15 of the first 16he faced and mostly spared anoverworked bullpen, and Fra-zier hit a long home run andthe Reds beat the ChicagoCubs 1-0 Wednesday.“This is what we wanted so
bad,” Reds manager Bakersaid. “This sets us straight fora couple of days.”With one out in the sixth
inning of a scoreless tie, Fra-zier blasted a 2-1 pitch fromJeff Samardzija 480 feet tostraightaway center field toincrease his team-leadinghome run total to six. Thehomer, which bounced high offthe batter’s eye, is the longestat Great American Ball Parkthis season and the seventh-longest in the facility’s 11-year history.“I was just trying to get a
fastball,” said Frazier, who be-came the first Cincinnatiplayer to homer in a 1-0 winsince Sean Casey against St.Louis on Aug. 26, 2004. “Ihaven’t seen too many lately. Igot one, and I took advantageof it. I took a couple of stepsand figured it was out, but Ididn’t know how far until Isaw it hit the (batter’s eye).”Latos (1-0), the victim of
two blown saves among hisfirst four starts this season al-lowed four hits and a walkwith four strikeouts. He hadto rely solely on his two- andfour-seam fastballs, too.It turned out not to be a
problem.“In the bullpen, I had a re-
ally good slider andchangeup,” said Latos, who’sstrung together 11 consecu-tive scoreless innings. “I don’tknow what the hell happened.It’s tough. Everybody in thebig leagues can hit the fast-ball. I had to focus on hitting
spots, keeping the ball downand away and getting them tohit it on the ground.”Jonathan Broxton replaced
Latos with two runners onbase and nobody out in theeighth. Both runners movedup on Cody Ransom’s sacrificebunt, but pinch-hitter AlfonsoSoriano struck out and short-stop Zack Cozart went deepbehind second base to flagdown David DeJesus’sgrounder and throw him outto end the inning.“I was going to throw it re-
gardless, because there weretwo outs,” Cozart said. “I sawout of the corner of my eyethat he wasn’t too close to thebag. I’ve been struggling atthe plate lately, so to make aplay like that makes you feelpretty good.”Cubs manager Dale Sveum
said that’s just the way it’s
been going for the Cubs, whoare 1-5 on their current roadtrip.“That was an unbelievable
play in that situation,” hesaid.Aroldis Chapman pitched
the ninth for his fourth save.Latos’s effort left Cincinnati’sstarting pitchers with a com-bined 5-0 record and 1.54ERA on the homestand.Samardzija (1-4) had his
fourth consecutive loss afterbeating Pittsburgh on Open-ing Day. The right-hander al-lowed seven hits and threewalks with eight strikeoutsand a wild pitch.The Reds had baserunners
in each of the first five in-nings, including the third,which Devin Mesoraco andLatos led off with singles be-fore Samardzija struck outShin-Soo Choo, Cozart and
Joey Votto — the top threebatters in Cincinnati’s lineup.The Reds wrapped up the
home stand, one of two of 10games on their schedule thisseason, with eight wins de-spite playing two games thatlasted 13 innings, anotherthat went 10, a third thatwas suspended almost 19hours from one night to thenext day by rain, andWednesday’s game, the startof which was delayed 89 min-utes by rain. They won eightgames on a homestand of 10or fewer games for just thesixth time in franchise his-tory and the second in twoyears. They went 8-2 againstSt. Louis, Arizona and Mil-waukee on a homestand lastJuly.“This was a weird home
stand,” Cozart said. “It was abattle every game.”

RUSSIA From Page B1
INDEPENDENCE,Ohio (AP) —Three yearslater, Cavaliers ownerDan Gilbert owned up toa monumental mistake.He’s trying to correct
it.Mike Brown gave him
a second chance.Conceding publicly for
the first time that heshould have never firedBrown as Cleveland’scoach during the turbu-lent summer of 2010,Gilbert said Wednesdayhe’s thrilled to be able tore-hire the most success-ful coach in franchisehistory.Brown, who led the
Cavs to the NBA playoffsin each of his five sea-sons with the club, hasreunited with a team heguided to its greatestsuccess and the ownerwho fired him afterCleveland was elimi-nated from the 2010playoffs ‚Äî not long be-fore LeBron James de-cided to bolt as a freeagent.“Yeah, it was a mis-
take. Sure it was a mis-take,” Gilbert said of hischoice to sack Brown.“We have the benefit ofhindsight right now, andin hindsight it was amistake. That summerwe went through threeyears ago was a uniquetime for us as a franchiseand the uncertainty on alot of levels. We are veryhappy that we get to rec-tify any position we tookback then.“Maybe he’s meant to
be here.”Brown was re-intro-
duced by the Cavs attheir training facility fol-lowing a lightning-fastsecond courtship withthe Cavs he described as
“surreal.” Flanked byGilbert and generalmanager Chris Grant,Brown was accompaniedby his wife, Carolyn, andtheir teenage sons ‚Äîjust as he was in 2005when Gilbert took a shoton a then-relatively un-known assistant fromIndiana for the firsttime.Brown, who was fired
just five games into thisseason by the Los Ange-les Lakers, said he hasno reservations about re-turning to work forGilbert or coachingagain in Cleveland.“It’s funny how life
works out,” he said. “Butthe one thing that I do Iknow is from afar, Cleve-land has always beenspecial in my heart andin my family’s heart. Youfeel the commitmentfrom a guy like Dan
Gilbert and if it happens,you feel like one of theluckiest guys on theplanet.“Things work in a
mysterious way and I’mexcited to have the op-portunity again.”Gilbert opened the
news conference by say-ing, “Welcome to MikeBrown 2.0. We certainlyenjoyed 1.0.” Gilbertlater joked that he “did-n’t want to do a GeorgeSteinbrenner imitationor anything,” referring tothe late New York Yan-kees owner’s penchantfor hiring and firingmanager Billy Martin.Less than a week
after firing Byron Scott,the Cavs signed Brownto a guaranteed four-year contract with theclub holding an optionfor the fifth year. Thedeal is worth approxi-
mately $20 million. It’snot immediately knownhow much of Brown’sowed salary from theLakers is being absorbedby the Cavs.Brown went 272-138
in his five seasons withCleveland and, obviouslyhelped by James, got theteam beyond the firstround of the playoffseach year. He wasnamed the league’s topcoach in 2009, led theCavs to consecutive 60-win seasons and his .652winning percentage issixth highest in leaguehistory for coaches withat least 400 games.He was the best coach
available — by far— tothe Cavs, who gaugedPhil Jackson’s interestbefore moving forward.They re-hired Brownquickly before anyoneelse had a shot.

KANSAS CITY, Mo.(AP) — Playing on theoffensive line is about asunglamorous as it getsin professional football.Nobody pays much at-
tention to the guys in thetrenches until flags areflying. They spend Sun-day afternoons gettingpunched, kicked andthrown to the turf, theirfingers smashed andtheir face masks twisted— not to mention what-ever goes on at the bot-tom of those piles.The best offensive
tackle will never be asvaluable as, say, the bestquarterback, and rarelydoes one of the guys upfront stoke the passionsof a fan base weary oflosing.So perhaps it’s no sur-
prise that since the AFL-NFLmerger in 1970, onlytwice has an offensivelineman been selectedfirst overall in the draft— Orlando Pace in 1997and Jake Long in 2008.The Kansas City
Chiefs could make itthree on Thursday night.In a draft without a
top-end talent at quar-terback and no clear-cutNo. 1 prospect regard-less of position, NFLCommissioner RogerGoodell is expected tocall out the name of oneof two offensive tackles— Luke Joeckel of TexasA&M or Eric Fisher ofCentral Michigan —after Kansas City handsin its selection at RadioCity Music Hall in NewYork City.“Last year, people
picking at the top of thedraft were looking forquarterbacks.And fortu-nately, they were there,”said former NFL coachJon Gruden, now an an-alyst with ESPN. “Ifyou’re looking for a left
tackle this year, you’re alucky guy.”The Chiefs insist that
they’re not necessarilylooking for a left tackle;they’re looking for thebest available player,and Joeckel and Fisherhappen to fit the bill.But it helps the cause
of both Joeckel andFisher — or maybe evenLane Johnson, an offen-sive tackle from Okla-homa — that KansasCity could be unsettledat the position by draftnight.The Chiefs placed the
franchise tag on lefttackle Branden Albert,and he’s signed the ten-der worth about $9.3million for next season.But they’ve also grantedthe Dolphins permissionto speak with Albert’srepresentatives, and it’sbecoming increasinglylikely that a trade willhappen.That would make the
selection of left tackle anobvious choice.“What I have to do is
what’s best for the
Kansas City Chiefs,”said general managerJohn Dorsey, who helpedput together some of theGreen Bay Packers’ bestdrafts but is calling theshots from the GM chairfor the first time afterbeing hired in January.“I’ll explore every op-
tion and available thing,”he said, “and then you’llbeing to weigh those de-cisions, and you have allthe way up until thatlast minute.”It didn’t come down to
the last minute a yearago.The Colts revealed on
Tuesday of draft weekthat they were selectingquarterback AndrewLuck first overall, andthat allowed some of thedominos to start falling.The Redskins traded upto nab quarterbackRobert Griffin III, andthe draft was off andrunning.That won’t be the case
this year, partly becausethere’s no QB worth theNo. 1 pick.Players at the game’s
most vital position havebeen chosen first overallfour straight years, and10 of the last 12. And theChiefs probably wouldhavemade it five straightif there was someoneworth the pick. Instead,they traded with SanFrancisco to acquire AlexSmith this offseason.So, everything ap-
pears to be circling backto a blindside protector.The St. Louis Rams
decided in 1997 thatPace was a better optionthan anybody in a for-gettable quarterbackclass that included thelikes of Jim Drucken-miller, Danny Wuerffeland Pat Barnes. Pace be-came a three-time All-Pro and made sevenstraight Pro Bowls in his13-year career.

CHARLOTTE, N.C.(AP) — NASCAR has azero tolerance policywhen it comes to en-gines, tires and fuel on arace car. Anything evenslightly improper isdealt with swiftly andseverely. NASCAR al-ways throws the book atoffenders.Matt Kenseth and Joe
Gibbs Racing were noexception, getting hitwith one of the largestpenalties in NASCARhistory Wednesday afterthe engine fromKenseth’s race-winningcar at Kansas failed apost-race inspection.Theteam had nothing to dowith the error, and man-ufacturer Toyota imme-diately acceptedresponsibility for one ofeight connecting rodsfailing to meet the mini-mum weight require-ment by 3 grams — lessthan an empty envelope.“We take full respon-
sibility for this issuewith the engine. JGR isnot involved in theprocess of selecting partsor assembling the CupSeries engines,” ToyotaRacing DevelopmentPresident Lee Whitesaid.It’s been a busy sea-
son for NASCAR disci-pline. In February,Nationwide Seriesdriver Jeremy Clementswas suspended after anapparently insensitiveremark to an MTV blog-ger and Denny Hamlinwas fined $25,000 forcriticizing the new Gen-6 race car.But in the past week,
NASCAR has leviedmore than $450,000 infines, suspended nearlya dozen crew membersfor upcoming pointsraces, and knocked someof the top drivers in itsseries out of the top fiveas it punishes teams forrules violations involv-ing the cars themselves.Kenseth was stripped
of everything but the tro-phy from Sunday’s winat Kansas.
He was docked 50driver points in thestandings — he earnedonly 48 points for thevictory — and NASCARalso erased the threebonus points he earnedfor the win that wouldhave been applied inseeding for the Chase forthe Sprint Cup champi-onship. In addition, thevictory will not be cred-ited toward his eligibil-ity for a wild card berthin the Chase.So, although Kenseth
has two wins on the year,the Kansas win does notcount in any form to-ward Chase eligibility.He lost his pole award,too, which could hurt el-igibility for next year’sSprint Unlimited exhibi-tion race.The penalty to
Kenseth, who held offKasey Kahne of Hen-drick Motorsports toearn his second win ofthe season, dropped himfrom eighth to 14th inthe standings.NASCAR also sus-
pended crew chief JasonRatcliff for six races andfined him $200,000. And
in a rare move, carowner Joe Gibbs had hisowner’s license sus-pended for the next sixraces and he won’t earncar owner points duringthat time. He also wasdocked 50 car ownerpoints while Toyota,which supplies the JGRengines through CostaMesa, Calif.-based TRD,lost five points in themanufacturer standings.JGR said it would ap-
peal.“It is our understand-
ing that one of the eightconnecting rods on theengine was ruled toolight,” the statementsaid. “We are workingwith our partners atTRD on this issue.”White said Kenseth
gained no advantagefrom the light rod.“It was a simple over-
sight on TRD’s part andthere was no intent todeceive, or to gain anytype of competitive ad-vantage,” White said.“Toyota is a companythat was built on in-tegrity, and that remainsone of the guiding princi-ples of the company. Thegoal of TRD has alwaysbeen — and will con-tinue to be — to buildhigh-performance en-gines that are reliable,durable and powerful,and within the guide-lines established byNASCAR.”It’s the second severe
penalty against a SprintCup team levied byNASCAR in as manyweeks.It was Penske Racing
and defending SprintCup champion Brad Ke-selowski who were pun-ished last week afterNASCAR said it foundunapproved parts in therear suspension of Ke-selowski and JoeyLogano’s cars at Texas.NASCAR docked 25points each the drivers,fined the crew chiefs$100,000 each and sus-pended seven Penskeemployees for six races.Penske Racing’s appeal
is scheduled for May 1.Those penalties were
for alterations to thebody of the car, particu-larly in an areaNASCAR has beenworking the last year topolice after teams founda way to manipulate theskew of the cars last sea-son. Team owner RogerPenske has maintainedthe team was not cheat-ing, but “working in agray area” of the rulebook.

What could be better than spending an enjoy-able day on the golf course with the people youlove? That’s right! Golf is one of the most popularsports for socializing, relaxing, issuing chal-lenges, and getting lots of fresh air, all at the sametime!
The time is long gone when golf clubs were theprivileged domain of business men and off limitsto women! Today, more and more golf clubs offer
various packages so that all the members of afamily have access to their courses. Many clubsoffer annual memberships to couples or families,allowing parents to plan regular rounds of golfwith their children. As well as the pleasure ofsharing the same passion, golf allows families tospend quality time together.
If the members of your family aren’t all at thesame level, playing at an executive golf course(par 3 and 4) will provide a good initiation for be-ginners and a different challenge to the more ex-perienced. To add a competitive element to afamily round, why not change partners from timeto time, forming father-daughter, mother-sonteams, etc.
A great idea for your next family vacation is tofind a destination where you can enjoy the pleas-ures of golf together. Travel specialists will beable to advise you about foreign travel packagesor holiday resorts which specialize in golf andfamily activities.
Playing golf with the familyGolf is a great sport for spending anenjoyable day with all the family.
An approach shot requireslots of concentration.

The importance of the mindGolf is a complex game. As well as having to mas-
ter techniques, golfers must also be able to controltheir emotions. It’s all true that there is plenty toenjoy in the fresh air and social aspects of the game,but players must also realize that golf is a sport inwhich the mind plays a vital role.
Experts will tell you that golfers spend an aver-age of 90 percent of their time on the golf coursethinking and 10 percent swinging and hitting theball. This is why it’s so important to make the rightdecisions.
Whether you’re a regular, occasional, or profes-sional golfer, the object of the game stays the same.Apart from mastering techniques, golf requiresconcentration and will power. A good balance be-tween discipline, the control of movements, andthe psychological aspects of the game will add toyour enjoyment and lead to success in this de-manding sport.
The first thing to realize is that you are, aboveall, playing for yourself and not for your partners.Set your objectives and give yourself the means ofreaching them. Appreciate your good shots andlearn to accept the poor ones.
Did you miss a shot because you lifted your heador because your shoulders weren’t in the right posi-tion? Tell yourself that this lack of concentration isbehind you. In other words don’t dwell on the past,continually thinking about the reasons for missingthe shot, as this could well haunt you for the rest ofthe round.
Success in golf largely depends on your ability toconcentrate, to master the techniques of visualiza-tion, of positive thinking, and self-confidence. Inother words, you are the master of your own destiny!

Designed to elevate the ball on thetee-off, the tee has evolved consider-ably over the years. This simple lit-tle wooden peg has made a lot ofprogress and still remains an impor-tant accessory for golfers.The time is long gone when players
used a pile of sand to elevate the ball!The arrival of the wooden tee not onlyallowed golfers to improve theirdrives but also to avoid damaging thegrass on the tee-offs. Tees have be-come much more sophisticated overthe years. These days they are mademainly from variously coloured woodor plastic. Some golfers prefer the tra-ditional wooden tees for their effec-tiveness, while others will opt forthose made in plastic because of theirgreater durability.Large manufacturers of golf equip-
ment are constantly searching for im-provements and a wide variety of teesare now available on the market. Oneoption is the wooden tee in twocolours and varying lengths, while therange of plastic tees is more elabo-rate. Apart from conventional tees itis also possible to obtain “zero fric-tion” tees, where the ball is placed onthree small supports. There are alsooversized “brush” tees that reduce therotation of the ball and tees of ad-justable heights. Biodegradable teesmade of bamboo are also available inspecialized stores.It’s hard to believe that one of the
smallest and most useful accessoriescontinues to help golfers improvetheir game!

JOEY LOGANO The Penske Rac-ing driver concluded a tough week
in Kansas. He was penalized 25points by NASCAR for violations at
Texas, then finished 39th in the Kansasrace after a hard collision with Kyle Busch. Heleft the Midwest 20th in points.

FEAST, FAMINE Matt Kenseth scoredhis second win of the season atKansas Speedway, but the race dayotherwise was a bummer for JoeGibbs Racing. Kyle Busch crashedearly and finished 38th. Brian Vickers,filling in for the injured Denny Hamlin,struggled home in 31st. And Nation-wide Series regular Elliott Sadler hada hard crash in a one-off race in theJGR No. 81 and finished 40th.
CRAFTY CRAFTON Matt Crafton isback. After going winless in 39straight races dating to 2011, Craftonreturned to Camping World Truck Se-ries victory lane in Saturday’s SFP 250at Kansas. Crafton, winning in the se-ries for the third time, outdueled JoeyCoulter over the closing laps.
HAMLIN HOPEFUL Denny Hamlinhopes to return to Sprint Cup racing inthe Toyota Owners 400 April 27 atRichmond International Raceway.Hamlin suffered a back fracture in abrutal crash March 24 at Auto ClubSpeedway and turned over his No. 11Toyota to substitute drivers Mark Mar-tin and Brian Vickers. If Hamlin doesn’treceive doctors’ OK to run at Rich-mond, he’ll likely race the followingweek at Talladega Superspeedway.
TRADING SOME BARBS Eight racesinto the season, Kevin Harvick is stilllooking for his first victory. He hasonly one top-10 finish, and some ofthe strain showed Sunday at Kansasas Harvick and crew chief Gil Martinexchanged some testy commentsover the team radio as Harvickstruggled over the race’s closingsegment. Harvick is in his final sea-son at Richard Childress Racing. Hewill drive for Stewart-Haas Racingbeginning in 2014.
Tracks on Tap
By MIKE HEMBREE
Eight races into the Sprint Cupseason, it can be safely said thatteam owner Joe Gibbs made thebiggest and best “free agent” ac-quisition for 2013.
That would be Matt Kenseth.Kenseth left Roush Fenway
Racing at the end of the 2012 sea-son after spending virtually hisentire NASCAR career to thatpoint driving for the Ford team.There were offseason questionsabout how Kenseth would fit in atJoe Gibbs Racing after being inone slot and in one system for somany years.
Those questions have been an-swered to virtually everyone’ssatisfaction — and to the irrita-tion of some.
Kenseth is flying this season.He has two wins — the latest aSunday whipping of the rest ofthe field in the STP 400 at KansasSpeedway — and is steadilybuilding the foundation of whatcould be a championship seasonin his first year at JGR.
His Kansas win was the defini-tion of methodical. He won thepole — a rarity for Kenseth, whotypically is a mediocre qualifier— with a record speed of 191-plus mph and, on race day, simplyturned the 400-mile event into hispersonal playground. With supe-rior support from his JGR pitcrew, he led the first 74 laps of therace, was in front for 36 in the
middle of the event and then ledthe final 52 laps without a seriouschallenge. He led 61 percent ofthe race — 163 of the 267 laps —and turned back a modest chal-lenge from eventual second-placefinisher Kasey Kahne over theclosing miles.
“We started the race, and ourcar was unbelievable fast the first120 laps or so,” Kenseth said.“We could pretty much run outthere as far as we wanted to. Andthen I think the big change reallywas people did different pit cy-cles and got us back a little bit,the sun came out, the track rub-bered up and it really changed ourrace car.
“Anyway, it turned out justright. We had a good restart whenwe needed to and got by five orsix of them guys, got up to sec-ond, and then of course Ricky(Stenhouse Jr.) pitted, and wewere leading that last cautionwhere we knew everybodyneeded some fuel and tires. It allworked out for us. Once our carwas in front, it was really fast,and I knew if you could get meout there I was going to be hardto beat.”
And that was a fact. No one hadthe guns to challenge Kensethover the race’s closing stretch.Kahne gave it his best, approach-ing Kenseth’s bumper severaltimes, but he couldn’t sustain hisspeed to attempt a pass.
“I could catch him but couldn’t
really do anything once I gotclose,” Kahne said. “It made mycar a little bit looser. So I tried afew things there, and he kind ofblocked those spots and wentthose directions and gained thespeed that I was, and then wewere even again. It was tough, butwe still had a great race.”
Following Kenseth and Kahneat the finish were series pointleader Jimmie Johnson, MartinTruex Jr. and Clint Bowyer.
Johnson took command of theearly-season point standings withanother strong run. Heading toRichmond, Va., this week, John-son is 37 points ahead of second-place Kahne (who jumped fivespots in the standings) and 38 infront of third-place Brad Ke-selowski. Both Kahne and Ke-selowski are almost a full racebehind Johnson in the standings.
“It’s hard to believe we’ve gota huge gap like that in the pointsalready,” Johnson said. “Just veryproud of everybody at HendrickMotorsports. We’ve been off to agreat year and even had sometrouble at Bristol and didn’t fin-ish as well as we did there, and 37points up on everybody is prettyawesome.”
The race produced eight cau-tions, including two involvingKyle Busch and a lap 183 yellowthat flew after a backstretch crashthat included Marcos Ambrose,Danica Patrick, Sam Hornish Jr.,Casey Mears and David Gilliland.

For a NASCAR venue that isgoing to attract 100,000 people for a shorttrack race, it is the best on the schedule. Iwish they would make a few more like it.Iowa is a replica, and we see how popularit is.

Classic Moments
Richmond International RacewayThe party was about to begin. But Kyle
Busch wouldn’t let it.With Dale Earnhardt Jr. headed for a
possible victory in the May 2008 CrownRoyal 400 at Richmond InternationalSpeedway, NASCAR’s favorite son spunfrom contact with Busch and limpedhome 15th on a night when his team —and untold legions of fans — seemedpoised for celebration.
Battling side-by-side for the lead withthree laps to go, Earnhardt and Buschtangled in Turn 3, sending Earnhardt intothe wall and allowing Clint Bowyer tosneak past Busch and steal his secondcareer Cup Series victory.
Instead of celebrating his first win intwo years and first with his new HendrickMotorsports team, Junior saw his lengthydrought continue into the summer.
Busch, a former Hendrick driver in hisfirst season with Joe Gibbs Racing, in-stantly became public enemy No. 1 ofJunior Nation for his role in the Rich-mond incident — one that would createtension between the two drivers, andtheir supporters, in the weeks andmonths to come.
� It was a wacky up-and-down weekfor defending Sprint Cup champion BradKeselowski. Last Tuesday, Keselowskiwas a special guest at the White House, as President Obamaacknowledged the Michigan driver’s 2012 Sprint Cup cham-pionship and his work with wounded military veterans. Aday later, NASCAR hammered Keselowski’s Penske Racingteam with some of the toughest penalties in recent NASCARhistory. Keselowski and Joey Logano, his Penske teammate,lost 25 points, and several Penske team members were sus-pended. Penske has appealed the penalties with the hear-ing set for May 1.
� Kyle Busch isn’t likely to be staging any parties at KansasSpeedway. For reasons that aren’t clear, Busch continues tohave sour luck at the 1.5-mile track. He entered Sunday’srace with zero top-5 finishes in Kansas City, and he left theheartland with that unfortunate record intact. He slid early inthe race to spark the first caution and later lost control again,sliding down the track before being slammed by JoeyLogano in a crash that heavily damaged both cars. Buschfinished 38th and left the speedway before the race reachedits halfway point.
� NASCAR has announced major changes in Sprint Cupqualifying procedures at its two road courses – Watkins GlenInternational in New York and Sonoma Raceway in Califor-nia. Drivers attempting to qualify for races at those trackswill do so in groups, as is already the case at NationwideSeries road-course events. Previously, drivers made single-
car laps as in time trials at oval tracks.
� Last week’s Boston Marathontragedy hit very close to home for the
NASCAR family. Sean Collier, the Massachusetts Instituteof Technology police officer who was shot and killed dur-ing the chase of the suspects, was the brother of Hen-drick Motorsports machinist Andrew Collier. Several SprintCup teams ran special car numbers or decals at Kansasin support of the Boston community.

Looking at Checkers: Kyle Busch (below)owns four consecutive wins in Richmond’sspring race. Are you willing to bet against that?Pretty Solid Pick: Is this the track whereTony Stewart begins his 2013 comeback? Hehas three wins and 13 top 10s in his 22 Cupstarts in Richmond.Good Sleeper Pick: Since 2008, Ryan New-man has finished outside of the top 15 at RIRonly once. He won’t win, but he’ll be solid.Runs on Seven Cylinders: Joey Logano hasmade some noise this season, but his 19.1-place average finish at Richmond does notbode well for his No. 22 team.Insider Tip: Joe Gibbs Racing and HendrickMotorsports have ruled the Cup Series thusfar in 2013. Don’t stray too far from them.

Pros, cons of growth hormone
Encouraging words inspire woman toward goal
DEAR DRROACH: I amvery concernedabout my grand-child’s growth —or lack thereof.She is 6 years oldand has notgrown at all thispast year. She is42 inches tall andweighs 40 pounds.She is the small-est child in herfirst-grade class.When they havefamily activities, some ofthe 3- and 4-year-old sib-lings of her classmatesare taller than she. Thisdoesn’t seem to concernher parents, and hermom is an RN.Am I over-reacting? — J.L.
ANSWER: Not grow-
ing in a year isnot normal. Ifthat’s true, herp e d i a t r i c i a nshould be lookingfor any conditions(there are many)that can cause achild to stopgrowing.
In days past, ifa child didn’thave a reason tonot be growing orwas growing at aslower rate than
normal, we were unableto do anything about it.However, now thathuman growth hormone(HGH) is available forchildren who are short,parents have a choice ofwhether to use this med-ication tomake their chil-
dren taller. The medica-tion is FDA-approved forchildren in the shortest 1percent of their age andin absence of other dis-eases. Your granddaugh-ter is right around thatlevel.
The question is, Willtreatment with this med-ication make her happieror healthier? There cer-tainly are costs— it is ex-pensive, requiresprolonged treatment andcan rarely have side ef-fects. Although on aver-age, a girl can expectabout 2 inches of extraheight after a full courseof treatment, it’s not clearthat this makes everyonehappier. If being shorterthan others isn’t bother-ing her or her parents,
then I wouldn’t recom-mend treatment withgrowth hormone. I thinkthere are appropriatetimes to use this medica-tion, but the decision isn’teasy, and should be madeconsidering both risksand benefits.

DEAR ABBY: Iwas moved by theletter from “LosingSlowly in Ohio” (Jan.14), who is 50pounds overweightand walks every daywith her friend tolose weight. She saidthat almost dailypeople made fun ofthem. My heart goesout to her.
I was in her shoesonce. With diet andexercise I lost more than60 pounds, and I’ve keptit off. But I was neverridiculed as she was. Onthe contrary, one dayafter I had just begun adaily 1-mile jog and wasstruggling to keep going,I passed by a man whocheerfully called out tome to “keep at it, and oneday you’ll be a 10!”
Abby, I can’t tell youwhat that meant to me. Ithought about his en-couragement whenever Ifelt hopeless and wasthinking of giving up.The memory of his kindwords inspired me to goon. Thirty years later, I
still thinkabout his en-couragementwith amaze-ment andgratitude.
We all havea choice: Wecan be kind toeach otherand offerfriends ands t r a n g e r salike supportfor the chal-
lenges we all face, or wecan make ourselves feelsuperior by being crueland demeaning.
In the end, our choiceshapes our character andwe receive what we give,so wemust choose wisely.
I’m sorry that “Losing”has met with only igno-rant jerks so far.
I would be honored topay it forward and tellher how incredibly braveshe is, and to encourageher to stick with it. Be-cause she has thecourage to keep exercis-ing in the face of constanthumiliation, I knowwith-out a doubt that she will
reach her goals. —WENDY IN COL-ORADO
DEAR WENDY:Thank you for your up-beat response. Manyother readers were quickto “weigh in” with lettersof support for “LosingSlowly”:
DEAR ABBY: I, too,have a weight problem,which I am working toresolve. But I can tell youfrom experience that theworst kind of discrimina-tion is directed againstpeople with weight prob-lems. I have been in-sulted in the workplace,in restaurants and doc-tor’s offices. I have notbeen hired for jobs be-cause I am perceived asfat and lazy.
I am NOT lazy! I keepa clean house, work hardat my job as a secretaryevery day, and I am agood wife and parent.Wemay ignore it and pre-tend that it doesn’t hurtus or matter, but I cantell you it IS painful, de-meaning, and it doesn’tgo away. I have been in
meetings or at socialfunctions and have hadto excuse myself to havea good cry. — STILLSUFFERING IN KEN-TUCKY
DEAR ABBY: Pleaselet “Losing Slowly” knowshe has another option tocontinue her new,healthy lifestyle in a safeenvironment. I haveworked in malls foryears, and they have allhad a mall walkers’ club.
Themall allows peoplein to walk, includingmany seniors, before itopens in the morning.There she will have ac-cess to a place whereeveryone is on the samepage. The walkers aresafe from traffic, the cli-mate, and morons whohave the manners of ajunkyard dog. The regu-lars there can tell herhowmanymiles they cancover.
It’s a great society ofpeople who support androot for each other. —NEVER GIVING UP INSOUTHERN CALIFOR-NIA
