Day two of the Jamie Seitzretrial opened Wednesday atShelby County Common PleasCourt with the cross-examina-tion of the alleged victim, Scar-letAshworth, and also featuredtestimony from a woman whopurportedly was another girl-friend of Seitz’s and numeroustextmessages sent to herwhichconfess to beating Ashworthand intending to kill her,Seitz, 46, 1510 W. North St.,

Piqua, is charged with at-tempted murder, felonious as-sault and three counts ofkidnapping following an inci-dent in December 2010 inwhich he allegedly beat Ash-worth and physically preventedher from leaving over a periodof several hours at an apart-ment he rented in Sidney, in ad-dition to later transporting heragainst her will to his home inPiqua.The cross-examination of

Ashworth, 28, of Tipp City, tookmore than 2 1/2 hours, as leaddefense attorney ChristopherBucio called into question hercredibility, forcing her to admitthat she had at first concealedher intimate relationship withSeitz from the police.Bucio also

accused Ashworth of startingthe physical altercation on thenight in question,which she de-nied, stating she did not strikeSeitz in the head with a toilettank lid until after he had hither several times and strangledher to the point of unconscious-ness.Bucio noted that Ashworth

had gone to the apartmentwithSeitz voluntarily, even thoughthe two had argued earlier, and

Ashworth said she went to theapartment “on the grounds hesaid he was going to leave methere and leave.”The attorney repeatedly

called into question Ash-worth’s honesty and the relia-bility of her memory, bringingup discrepancies in state-ments she has made, her re-luctance to give authoritiesthe complete facts of her rela-tionship and inconsistencies in

the details she has provided.He questioned the serious-

ness of her injuries, noting shedrove approximately 150 milesthe day following the incidentbefore going to the hospital fortreatment, despite her claimsthat she could barely see fromthe swelling to her eyes andcould barely walk.“Should I have been driving?

IN THIS Nov. 29, 2005 file photo, Justice PaulPfeifer listens to attorney Donald Mooney presentarguments in the Ohio Supreme Court in Colum-bus. As a young state senator 30 years ago, Pfeiferhelped write Ohio’s death penalty law. Today, as thesenior member of the state Supreme Court, he’strying to eliminate it.

BY ANDREWWELSH-HUGGINS

Associated Press

COLUMBUS (AP) — As ayoung state senator 30 years ago,Paul Pfeifer helped write Ohio’sdeath penalty law. Today, as thesenior member of the stateSupremeCourt, he’s trying to elim-inate it.It’s not uncommon for sitting

judges to change their mind on thedeath penalty — U.S. SupremeCourt Justice Harry Blackmun fa-mously said in 1994 he would nolonger “tinker with the machineryof death”— but Pfeifer may be theonly one to argue so ardentlyagainst a capital punishment lawhe himself created, and yet con-tinue to rule on death penaltycases.“I have concluded that the death

sentence makes no sense to me at

this point when you can have lifewithout the possibility of parole,”Pfeifer said in hismost recent pub-lic comments, testifying in Decem-ber in favor a bill to abolish Ohio’slaw. “I don’t see what society gainsfrom that.”After the U.S. Supreme Court

declared capital punishment un-constitutional in 1972, states spentseveral years rewriting their laws;those enacted by Florida, Georgiaand Texas ultimately met thecourt’s threshold for constitutional-ity. Other states had to follow thosemodels to have their laws upheld.Ohio’s first attempt, in 1974, wasfound unconstitutional, but the sec-ond try,whenPfeifer was chairmanof the Senate Judiciary Committee,was enacted in 1981 and has neverbeen successfully challenged. Law-makers pledged at the time to drafta law reserved for themost heinousmurders.

At least two county prosecutorssay Pfeifer should stop ruling ondeath sentences, including Hamil-ton County prosecutor Joe Deters,who said that Pfeifer’s actionswereinappropriate. “It gives rise to acredible inference that he cannotbe fair to both sides,” Deters saidrecently.Pfeifer’s position is unusual but

on solid legal ground as long as hekeeps his opinions out of his rul-ings, said Marianna Bettman, aUniversity of Cincinnati law pro-fessor and former state appealscourt judge.Ohio has 148 inmates on death

row.Executions are temporarily onhold while federal courts reviewthe state’s lethal injection proce-dures, but that delay is not ex-pected to last forever. TheDemocrat-sponsored bill to abolishthe death penalty has little chanceof passing.

TOLEDO (AP) — Anew poll that showsRick Santorum edgingahead of Mitt Romneyin Ohio’s Republicanpresidential primaryalso indicates just howvolatile the race is withthree weeks to go beforeSuper Tuesday.That’s because half of

the likely Republicanvoters said they mightchange their mind be-fore the Ohio primary.

Santorum, coming offa sweep in Colorado,Minnesota and Missourilast week, trailed far be-hind Romney in Ohiojust a month ago, but hehas pulled ahead, ac-cording to a the Quin-nipiac University pollreleased WednesdaySantorum had an ap-

parent lead over the for-mer Massachusettsgovernor, 36 percent to29 percent among likelyprimary voters. FormerU.S. House SpeakerNewt Gingrich was

third with 20 percent.The results in Ohio

come on top of pollsshowing Santorum hasmoved into a virtual tiewith Romney in nation-wide polling.Ohio is one of 10

states up for grabs onMarch 6.Santorum will be at

two county party din-ners this Friday insouthwest Ohio. He’salso scheduled to speakSaturday at an OhioChristian Allianceluncheon in Columbus

and later to SummitCounty Republicans inAkron.Romney has upcom-

ing events near Cleve-land and in Cincinnatiwhile Gingrich cam-paigned through Ohiolast week.The Quinnipiac poll

found that Santorumhad the strongest sup-port among conserva-tive Republicans andtea party backers, whileRomney was most popu-lar among moderatesand the wealthy.

COLUMBUS (AP) — A state senator and long-time farmer will be the new director of the Ohio De-partment of Agriculture.Gov. John Kasich is appointing Republican Sen.

David Daniels of Greenfield to the position. Danielswas expected to submit his Senate resignationWednesday and begin his new role Thursday.The position would give Daniels a key role in co-

ordinating with the Ohio Department of NaturalResources on possible new exotic animal regula-tions. He’ll also be among the agency directors ad-vising Kasich on developing Ohio’s oil and gasindustry.Daniels previously served as a state representa-

tive, county commissioner, city councilman andmayor. He was elected to the Senate in 2010.

Obama toutsindustry

NATION/WORLD Sidney Daily News,Thursday,February 16,2012 Page 5A

MILWAUKEE (AP) —President Barack Obamais using the resurgence ofU.S. manufacturing tomake an economic case forhis re-election, touring fac-tory floors and promotinga made-in-America mes-sage that seemed to fit hispolitical campaign like, asit turned out Wednesday,lock and key.Most presidents like to

surround themselves withproud workers at factories,but Obama has gone fur-ther by making the re-bounding manufacturing akey plank of his election-year agenda, arguing thatthe increasingly service-oriented U.S. economyneeds to make things inorder to prosper in thelong run. He opened athree-day political tripwith a stop inWisconsin, astate he won handily in2008 but is expected topose more difficulty forhim this year.

LOS ANGELES (AP) —It’s become standard-oper-ating procedure when acelebrity dies too young —investigators immediatelygo looking through theirnightstand and medicinecabinet.That effort is well under

way in the death of Whit-ney Houston, with investi-gators saying Wednesdaythey have subpoenaedrecords from the singer’sdoctors and pharmacieswho dispensed medicationfound in her hotel room.The inquiries are rou-

tine in virtually all deathinvestigations, AssistantChief Coroner Ed Wintersaid, noting that similarmeasures are taken whena person dies in a carcrash, shoots themselvesor, as in Houston’s case,dies unexpectedly.

WASHINGTON (AP) —For Americans looking atthe U.S. visit of China’slikely future leader for aclue about where relationsbetween the two nationsmight be headed, the sig-nal has been clear: Nochange in substance, butperhaps a change in style.Chinese Vice President

Xi Jinping toed the line setby the man he is to suc-ceed as Communist Partychief in the fall, Hu Jintao,who made a grand U.S.state visit a year ago.Xi, who is expected to

become president in 2013,made clear that Chinawants a deeper relation-ship with the UnitedStates and even welcomesits engagement in theAsia-Pacific, as long as itrespects China’s interestsand concerns in its ownneighborhood.

COMAYAGUA, Honduras(AP)—Honduran officials con-firmed Wednesday that 358people died when a fire torethrough an overcrowdedprison, making it the world’sdeadliest prison fire in a cen-tury.With 856 prisoners packed

into barracks, the farm prisonin the Comayagua provincenorth of the capital was at dou-ble capacity, said SupremeCourt Justice RichardOrdonez,who is leading the investiga-tion.Ordonez told The Associ-

ated Press the fire started in abarracks where 105 prisonerswere bunked, and only four ofthem survived. Some 115 bod-ies have been sent to themorgue in the capital of Tegu-cigalpa.The fire started by an in-

mate tore through the prison,burning and suffocatingscreaming men in theircrowded barracks as rescuersdesperately searched for keysto unlock the doors.The local governor, who was

once a prison employee, told re-porters that an inmate calledher moments before the blazebroke out and screamed: “I willset this place on fire andwe areall going to die!”

Comayagua Gov. Paola Cas-tro said she called the RedCross and fire brigade immedi-ately. But firefighters said theywere kept outside for half anhour by guards who fired theirguns in the air, thinking theyhad a riot or a breakout ontheir hands.Officials have long had little

control over conditions inside

many Honduran prisons,where inmates have largely un-fettered access to cell phonesand other contraband.Survivors also told investi-

gators that the unidentified in-mate yelled “We will all diehere!” as he lit fire to his bed-ding late Tuesday night in theprison in Comayagua, 53 miles(86 kilometers) north ofTeguci-

galpa. The lockup housed peo-ple convicted of serious crimessuch as homicide and armedrobbery, but also people await-ing trial.“We couldn’t get them out

because we didn’t have thekeys and couldn’t find theguards who had them,” Co-mayagua fire departmentspokesman Josue Garcia said.

GRANDRAPIDS,Mich. (AP)—Repub-lican presidential candidate Mitt Romneyis wooing tea partyers in his home state ofMichiganwith a potentially risky strategy:blasting the auto industry bailout thatmany people credit with saving the state’smost vital industry.The tactic seems designed to undermine

Rick Santorum’s popularitywith conserva-tives who dislike government interventionin business, even when the results appeardefensible. It also reinforces Romney’simage as an experienced capitalist who un-derstands the pain sometimes involved inmaking companies work.Santorum’s fast rise in national polls

has forced Romney to sharpen his criti-cisms of the former Pennsylvania senator.Santorum says his team will “plant ourflag” in Michigan while also campaigningin other states.ARomney loss inMichigan’s Feb.28 pri-

mary would be hugely embarrassing, orworse, to his campaign. His team has pro-moted an aura of inevitability for months,but Romney has failed to persuade theparty’s most conservative segments to em-brace him.Romney’s father was a top auto execu-

tive and three-term governor of Michigan,and Romney still holds big financial ad-vantages over Santorum, Newt Gingrichand Ron Paul. Thus far, he has bought farmore TV advertising time than they have.Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder signaled his

plans to endorse Romney on Thursday.And yet,when longtimeMichigan polit-

ical analyst Craig Ruff was asked if a Rom-ney loss here is conceivable, he said: “I’mastounded, but yes.” Ruff worked for Re-publican Gov.William Milliken but now isan independent.He said he was surprised by how vigor-

ously Romney is criticizing the governmentrescue of General Motors and Chrysler in2008-2009.“Many, many Republicans have ties to

the auto industry,” through investments orcurrent or former employment, Ruff said.“He’s got a lot of explaining to do.”SomeGOPactivists,however, saidRom-

ney’s actions make sense. He already wason record opposing the bailouts. So hisTuesday op-ed in the Detroit News gavehim a chance to elaborate, they said. Andhis stance will appeal to business-orientedRepublicans as well as more libertarian-leaning voters who oppose government in-trusion in general.“It may be dicey in the general election,

but it’s not dicey in the primary,” said Lans-ing-based Republican strategist SteveMitchell. “Republicans opposed the autobailout. They opposed other bailouts. Theyoppose bailouts.”A May 2010 poll conducted by EPIC-

MRA for the Detroit Free Press found thatnearly two-thirds of Michigan adultsthought the auto bailout was a good idea.Republicans were more closely divided,with 51 percent calling it a good idea, and43 percent calling it a bad idea.

TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Indefiant swipes at its foes, Iransaid Wednesday it is dramati-cally closer to mastering theproduction of nuclear fuel evenas the U.S. weighs tougherpressures and Tehran’s sus-pected shadow war with Israelbrings probes far beyond theMiddle East.Iran further struck back at

theWest by indicating it was onthe verge of imposing a mid-winter fuel squeeze to Europein retaliation for a looming boy-cott of Iranian oil, but deniedreports earlier in the day thatsix nations had already beencut off.The uncompromising mes-

sages from Iran, however, camewith a counterpoint. The offi-cial IRNA news agency saidIran’s top nuclear negotiator,Saeed Jalili, told EuropeanUnion foreign policy chiefCatherine Ashton that Iran isready to return to talks withthe U.S. and other world pow-ers.The dual strategy — taking

nuclear steps while proposingmore talks — has become ahallmark of Iran’s dealings foryears and some critics havedismissed it as a time-buyingtactic. The advances claimedWednesday could likely feedthese views.In a live TV broadcast, Pres-

ident Mahmoud Ahmadinejadwas shown overseeing whatwas described as the first Iran-ian-made fuel rod inserted into

a research reactor in northernTehran. Separately, the semiof-ficial Fars agency reported thata “new generation” of Iraniancentrifuges — used to enrichuranium toward nuclear fuel—had gone into operation at thecountry’s main enrichment fa-cility at Natanz in central Iran.

In Washington, the assis-tant secretary of state for In-ternational Security andNonproliferation, Tom Coun-tryman, dismissed the Iranianclaims of reaching a pivotalmoment. “The announcementtoday by Iran has much moreto do with political develop-

ments in Iran than it has to dowith factual developments,” hesaid.White House press secre-

tary Jay Carney said Iran’s“defiant acts” seek to “distractattention” from the damagebrought by international sanc-tions.

Caves to open new areasWEST LIBERTY —

Ohio Caverns, thelargest of Ohio’s com-mercial caves, will opennew sections for visitorsto explore beginning onMay 26.

Since 1925, touristshave been able to take aone-mile, guided tour ofthe caverns. It begins atone of three openings tothe cave and ends at an-other. The third opening,according to owner EricEvans, was the originalentrance to the under-ground attraction.

That original en-trance, however, led to“rooms” and passage-ways that filled up withmud not long after theywere cut into the lime-

stone bedrock by the gla-ciers. As the glacierswith their water and icereceded, the mud flowedin.

Evans said that in2007, a crew began toclear out those passage-ways. The work hastaken place primarily inthe ensuing winter sea-sons, when tourist trafficis slowest. The caves,however, are open year-round.

The new sections willbe accessible through anew opening that will beramped to accommodatewheelchair-bound pa-trons. A new tour will beadded to the options forvisitors. It will exploresections of the caves that

are separate from thosecomprising the originaltour.

“A shortened versionof the tour will be avail-able to patrons in wheel-chairs,” Evans said.That’s because the pas-sageways between thelimestone walls becometoo narrow for wheel-chairs to get through.

Besides removingmud, crews have in-stalled lighting and aconcrete walkway in the“new” sections.

Adult admission tothe caves is $15. Ticketsfor children 5 to 12 cost$9. Children 4 and underare admitted free. Visitwww.ohiocaverns.comfor information.

DR. WAL-LACE: Pleasetell me what todo. I’m 20, mar-ried three yearsand the motherof a 2-year-oldson. I love myhusband verymuch, but I’mlonely and de-pressed. Myhusband works12 to 16 hours, 6days a week. Ihave no friends, no joband no time with myhusband.Lately, I have been

having suicidalthoughts — often — andthis scares me. My hus-band is a hard worker,and he loves me verymuch, but at times, Ifeel like running awayand never coming back.I’m only out of my teensfor a year, yet I feel likea middle-aged house-wife with nothing to dobut the laundry. Pleaserespond. I’m confusedand really need yourhelp. — Nameless,Toledo, Ohio

NAMELESS:Thanksfor putting faith in me tohelp you through a verydifficult and challengingtime in your young life.I’m positive that yourlife will turn for the bet-ter soon. When a youngwife gets the feeling thatshe wants to get awayfrom it all, she usuallyhas major disagree-ments with her husband.But in your case, youlove your husband andyour husband loves you.The love you share canovercome the great ma-

jority of life’s ob-stacles.Open and

honest conver-sation with yourhusband isparamount. Tellhim that you’redepressed andfeel all alone,but that youalso love himand your son.Say you are veryconfused and

need help. Mention thatyou are scared and havecontemplated suicide.You are in a rut, but itwouldn’t take much toget you on a road to sta-bility and happiness.You must have con-

tact with others. If youhave other family mem-bers that you can talkwith, do so. It doesn’tmatter what the detailsof the conversation are,just have conversationwith another adult. Per-haps you can meet otheryoung mothers and takeyour child to a play-group. If you don’t al-ready attend a church orother religious service,do so with your husband.Take a college or com-munity college class.Find a part-time job. Dosomething so you canmingle with people.It is possible that pro-

fessional counselingcould help you to getyour life in order. Con-tacting me was your firststep with many more tobe taken, but you willtake them. Please con-tact me soon to let meknow what you are doingto overcome your loneli-

ness. And rememberthat you will never againbe alone if you have faithin the Almighty.

TEENS: Do you findthat you never haveenough time to finisheverything you must andwant to do in a 24-hourperiod? The need to fin-ish things will stay withyou for a lifetime. Ac-cording to the publica-tion, “Parents of Teens,”the average North Amer-ican sleeps a total of 24.5years over the course ofa lifetime, spends 13.5years at school and atwork, 12 years watchingtelevision, 4.5 years so-cializing, 3 years con-suming food and 1 yeartalking on the phone.The other 13 years arespent in various activi-ties, including using theInternet.Just think, if you can

reduce the time spentsitting in front of the tel-evision set by two-thirds,you would have an extra8 years to finish some ofyour must finish proj-ects!

she said. “I didn’t know ifI’d want to go through allthis.”Erin Dearth, who said

she was also in a relation-ship with the marriedSeitz at the time, took thestand on behalf of theprosecution only becauseshe had been chargedwith a felony in relation tothe incident and negoti-ated it down to a misde-meanor in exchange forher cooperation.Text messagesDearth testified to re-

ceiving numerous textmessages from Seitz dur-ing the night in question,beginning around 11 p.m.and continuing throughthe next morning. In themessages Seitz said hehated Ashworth, hadbeaten her severely, in-tended to kill her, hide thebody and go into hiding.“I have beat her bad. I

need to kill her and hidethe body,” one messageread.“I will send you a pic

after she is dead,” read an-other.During this period of

several hours,Dearthwasin her car trying to findSeitz and Ashworth. Shesaid she did not take thetext messages seriouslyand eventually evenpicked up Seitz’s wife,Chris, to accompany herbefore eventually return-ing home to Enon.Seitz asked Dearth to

help him hide, so afterleaving Ashworth in thecare of his wife, Chris, hemet Dearth at a McDon-ald’s in Enon.Dearth said Seitz had a

knot on his forehead“about the size of a golfball” from where Ash-worth hit him with thetoilet tank lid. Duringtheir weekend alone to-gether, Dearth said thaton several occasions, bymutual agreement, shestruck Seitz on the head“as hard as I could”with apiece of wood in order tomake his injury lookworse.On cross-examination,

Dearth told Seitz that shehad felt threatened by theauthorities and believedthey wanted her to lie tomake Seitz seem as badas possible, though shedid not say her testimonyWednesday was untrue.Dearth said Shelby

County Prosecutor RalphBauer had told her he’dsent several women “toMarysville” (the Ohio Re-formatory for Women),and said she believed,“If Imuff this up, the deal wasoff.”

ThreatenedWhen Bucio asked if

her friends, family orloved ones had beenthreatened, DearthclaimedBauer told her he“wanted to put a sworddown Jamie’s throat andperforate his gullet.”Also testifyingWednes-

day were Dr. SuzanneGayton, the attendingphysician in the emer-gency room at Upper Val-ley Medical Center on thenight Ashworth soughtcare for her injuries, andAmy Rismiller, a forensicscientist at Miami ValleyRegional Crime Lab.Gayton reviewed the

sequence of the eveningAshworth came in to thehospital and went overthe already-submitted ev-idence photos of Ash-worth’s injuries,confirming swelling, ex-tensive bruising andscratches on her face,neck, chest, sides and

arms. She confirmedAsh-worth’s bruises on herneckwere consistent withstrangling.Rismiller confirmed

identifying Ashworth’sblood on a pillow retrievedfrom the apartment laterby police, as well as on ashirt submitted by Ash-worth to the police, whichshe reportedly was wear-ing that night.Breanne Comer took

the stand Wednesday aswell. She was at the timeof the incident a co-workerof Ashworth’s at theBroad StreetGrille in Sid-ney, which was owned bySeitz. Comer testified toAshworth’s “state of con-fusion,” and said in addi-tion to her obviousbruising and swelling,Ashworth appeared “veryshaken and slow-moving.”“She appeared to be in

very much pain,” Comersaid.Detective testifiesThe day ended with

testimony from DetectiveWarren Melerine of theSidney Police Depart-ment, whowas lead detec-tive on the case. Hereviewed the timeline ofthe investigation and alsoconfirmed Ashworth’s in-juries, including marks“consistent with stran-gling” as well as “classicdefensive wounds” on herhands.Melerine outlined the

search of the apartmentand retrieval of evidence,and briefly reviewed in-terviews with Ashworth.He noted that during thesearch of the apartment,the pieces of the toilettank lid had been stackedneatly on the bathroomsink area, indicating thatsomeone had been in theapartment since Ash-worth had last been there.Day three of the trial

will begin today at 9 a.m.with cross-examination ofMelerine.

ANNA’S KYLEIGH Overbey goes up in front of Dixie’s Stacy Rader in sectional tournament ac-tion at Tipp City Wednesday night. The Lady Rockets opened defense of their state champi-onship with a 100-30 victory.

Fairborn whips Sidney 87-62

Anna rolls in tourney opener

Visiting Fairborn had justsix points in the first fourminutes of Wednesday’s highschool boys basketball gameat Sidney.But the Skyhawks added

15 over the final four minutesand never slowed down afterthat in routing the YellowJackets 87-62 in a rareWednesday night game.The game was orginally

scheduled for Tuesday, butmoved because of parent-teacher conferences Tuesdaynight.The loss leaves the Jackets

at 3-16 heading into the regu-lar-season finale at TrotwoodFriday.Sidney will then return to

Trotwood on Feb. 25 for a sec-tional tournament gameagainst Centerville.The Skyhawks move to 12-7

on the season and will alsoconclude regular-season playFriday, at home against Xenia.Sidney head coach Greg

Snyder said it was a case ofthe Jackets getting frustratedby poor shooting in the earlygoing.“I always felt like we should

have been close,” he said. “Butwe just missed so many shots.We took some bad shots, yes,but we missed a lot of wideopen shots, too. And whenyou’re playing a team of Fair-born’s calibre, you have to hitthose shots to have a chance.“I felt like we were playing

some good defense at thestart, but I think the kids gotfrustrated when their shots

wouldn’t fall,” he added. “Westarted to gamble too muchand Fairborn took advantage.”The Skyhawks opened up a

21-6 lead after one period, butcouldn’t shake the Jackets inthe second quarter. They led the Jackets 31-22,

then scored four straight tomake it 35-22. But Sidney’sPatwaun Hudson, who had 29,hit a three to cut the lead backto 10, and the Skyhawks set-tled for a 39-27 lead at the half.Fairborn went on a 5-0 run

to start the third quarter, andeven though the Jackets coun-tered with four straight, theSkyhawks had it in gear andstarted opening up a big lead.It was 19 after three quarters.Hudson had five threes on

his way to 29 and Tyree Man-ley added 14 for the Jackets.Fairborn’s Kendrick

Williams, who averaged 34 inhis previous four games, fin-ished with 23.Fairborn outrebounded the

HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL

BY KEN BARHORSTkbarhorst@sdnccg.com

It’s a bit unusual.Normally, when a

game carries this muchhype, it’s usually for aleague title or a higherranking.But this comes down

to winning streaks, andsomebody’s will be bro-ken Friday night whenJackson Center andAnna end regular-seasonplay at Anna.The game highlights

the final night of leagueplay for this season. Allseven County teams willbe in action, withBotkins playing at FortLoramie and Russia try-ing to snap its four-gameskid on a trip to Fair-lawn.Houston is in non-

league action at Newton.On Saturday, Botkins

is at Lima Perry andRussia travels to MarionLocal to end the regularseason.Jackson Center has

already won an outrightCounty championshipwith a so-far perfectleague mark of 11-0.The Tigers are 19-0

overall, and are the No.

2-ranked Division IVteam in Ohio for the sec-ond week in a row.Anna needs either a

win Friday or a loss byRussia to finish in solepossession of secondplace in the County.The Rockets got off to

a slow start, standing at4-5 at one point. Butthey take a 10-gamewinning streak into Fri-day night’s game.Anna has won 11 of

its last 12 games, andthe last team to beat theRockets — Jackson Cen-ter back on Jan. 6.In that game, points

were at a premium.Anna led 14-11 after twoquarters and 22-21 afterthree. But Jackson Cen-ter pulled out a 39-35victory behind 22 pointsfrom Alex Meyer.“I know it’s a highly-

anticipated game,” saidJackson coach ScottElchert. “What I likeabout it, and I’m sureNate (Barhorst) proba-bly feels the same way, isit’s just a great game tohave at this stage of theseason.“The atmosphere will

be great, and it’s going tobe noisy,” he added. “It

throws the kids backinto those situationswhere they have to relyon themselves out on thefloor because it’s going tobe tough to hear.”Elchert thinks his

team is in for the battleof their lives Friday.“Anna is playing at

the level I thought theywould play at,” he said.“They lost a couple kidsfrom last season, andhave a new coach. And itwas just a matter of timebefore everybody under-stood their roles andthings started to click.”Elchert was right

about Anna’s coach.Barhorst agreed with hisassessment.“No doubt about it,”

said Barhorst, in his firstseason as head coach. “Ithink more than any-thing, it will be a tourna-ment atmosphere. It willbe a big game that willhopefully propel both ofus into the tournamentand have us ready foranything.”The game will feature

arguably the County’stop two players in Jack-son Center’s Andy Hoy-ing, the player of theyear in the league last

season, and Anna’s JayMeyer.Hoying is at 17.3 per

game, and Meyer is rightbehind at 16.4. But bothcoaches say there is a lotmore to worry aboutthan those two.“You can start with

Jay, certainly, but thereare several other peoplethat are scoring well forthem,” said Elchert.“We’re going to have toplay solid all over thefloor.”“Everyone knows

what Andy and Jay cando, but there are a bunchof other players that canstep up at any moment,”said Barhorst. “That’sbeen a key to our win-ning streak — kids step-ping up and scoringpoints for us.And I knowJackson Center has a lotof kids that can hurt you.“We know it’s going to

be a high intensitygame,” Barhorst added.“And I think both teamswill be up for it. Win orlose, I think if the kidsare out there playinghard and they leaveeverything on the floor,you will be able to makesomething positive out ofit.”

HUBERHEIGHTS—The Sidney boys werehoping to qualify for thedistrict bowling tourna-ment, but came up short,finishing 10th out of 22teams.The top six teams and

top six individuals qual-ified to move on.Sidney shot a 995 in

their first game, withTrent Knoop rolling a234 and Luke Goubeauxadding a 213. That putthe Jackets in fourthplace.In the second game,

the total fell to 969, withMichael Barber rolling a236.And in the third

game, Sidney had a 953,with Barber againrolling a 236.“In the second game,

the lanes broke downquickly and we neededto move inside and balldown,” said Sidney coachAngie Mentges. “Wewere a little slow at mov-ing and we ended upwith some splits.”Sidney was seventh

going into baker.

“I really felt confidentgoing into baker becausewe were only three pinsbehind the sixth-placeteam and 16 behind thefifth-place team,” Ment-ges said. “We were bowl-ing on fresh oil and wehad bowled well to startthe day and done a rea-sonably good job of cov-ering spares. However,we got too excited andrushed the line, leavingan open shoulder whichswung the ball out toofar to the right. The balltried to get back to the

pocker but either didn’tmake it or came in be-hind the head pin.”Sidney had 17 splits

in the six baker games.The scores were 175,156, 145, 139, 173 and148.“We had one baby

split, but the rest werevery difficult spareshots,” Mentges said.That left the Jackets

10th, 188 pins short ofadvancing.None of the Jackets

were able to qualify asindividuals.

KETTERING — TheKettering Board of Edu-cation took steps to ter-minate the contract ofFairmont High SchoolAthletic Director BrianDonoher at its regularmeeting Tuesday, ap-proving a recommenda-tion to consider suchaction.Donoher, 42, son of

former University ofDayton men’s basketballcoach Don Donoher and

former athletic directorat Sidney High School, ison paid family medicalleave pending a March 5court appearance. He ischarged with soliciting aprostitute and has en-tered a plea of not guiltyto the charge.Under the Ohio Re-

vised Code, he has 10days to request a hearing,represented by an OhioDepartment of Educationofficial, on the school

board’s decision. If he de-clines the right, school of-ficials say his contractwill be terminated.Kettering Superin-

tendent Jim Schoenleindeclined to commentwhether Donoher wouldreceive a financial settle-ment or severance.Donoher, married and

father of three children,was arrested Feb. 1 in aweeklong Dayton PoliceDepartment sting tar-

geting sex solicitors. Heallegedly told police hehad also solicited sexabout 10 different timeslast year. He is not ateacher or a member ofthe Kettering EducationAssociation.Also Tuesday, the

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP)— Oscar Robertson iss t e p p i n gback intothe spot-light.A f t e r

living qui-etly inOhio, theNBA Hallof Famer isb r i n g i n gawarenessto an issue affecting peo-ple who might havenever heard his namebefore: Prostate cancer.Robertson was

stricken with the diseaseabout a year ago and hadhis prostate removed in asuccessful robotic proce-dure. Cancer-free, he isserving as honorarychairman at the Interna-tional Prostate CancerFoundation’s gala in Or-lando next month.“I usually take a test

for it every year, but Ididn’t for whatever rea-son about a year ago. It

was just a routine testthat you take all thetime and they discoveredcancer cells,” Robertson,73, said in a phone inter-view with The Associ-ated Press. “I justwanted to know how Igot it because I had itchecked every two years.“But I had some num-

bers that went up a littlebit and that was the in-dicator something waswrong.”While the initial news

after a blood test lastspring was surprising forthe only player in NBAhistory to average atriple-double for an en-tire season (1961-62), itwasn’t the first seriousmedical issue he’s facedsince his playing days.In 1997 Robertson do-

nated a kidney to histhen-33-year-old daugh-ter Tia, who was suffer-ing from lupus.That wasa no-brainer for the fa-ther of two.But with no previous

history of prostate cancerin his family, he had torevert back to lessons helearned during his play-ing days and went intoscouting-mode againsthis new opponent.“I got on the Internet

and found out aboutcures like radiation andsome kind of processcalled protons,” Robert-son recalled. “I talked tolot of doctors about itand decided I’d ratherhave mine taken out.”Robertson sought a

non-invasive procedureand doctors in Ohio even-tually steered him to Dr.Vipul Patel, a renownedurologist in Orlando. Themost experienced sur-geon worldwide over allsurgical specialties, Patelhad performed morethan 3,500 roboticprostate surgeries.Having grown up in

Los Angeles and been afan of the hometownLakers, Patel instantlymade the name connec-

tion. After a brief consul-tation Robertson wassold and flew to Florida.“Obviously, the Big O,

everybody knows him,”Patel said. “I actuallymet him in person theday before surgery. He’dalready decided what hewanted to do.”The procedure was

performed and he wasable to go home the nextday. Now approaching ayear following the sur-gery, Patel said Robert-son is cancer-free andhas an excellent progno-sis going forward.During his more than

60-year association withbasketball, Robertsonearned both champi-onships and pioneer sta-tus. Now, much like hedid in helping out a fu-ture generation of NBAplayers in achieving amore favorable work en-vironment, Robertsonhas shifted his attentionto helping others throughhis own experience.

Rheumatoid arthritis explained

Motorists in wrong find ways to make things right

DEAR DR.DONOHUE: Iwas diagnosedwith rheumatoidarthritis in 2005.My rheumatolo-gist put me onmethotrexate. Ihad many sideeffects frommethotrexate,and it was notworking as wellas it had been, somy doctor put meon hydroxy-chloroquine (Plaquenil).The thought of going onneedles scares me. I hatethem.

My fingers are not dis-figured, like some ofthose with rheumatoidarthritis are. Whatmakes fingers crooked? Iworry about what thesetoxic medications havedone and will do. Now Ineed my vision checkedevery four months be-cause of Plaquenil. —A.F.

A N S W E R :Those medicineshave saved youfrom the toxic dis-ease rheumatoidarthritis. Unlikethemore commonvariety of arthri-tis, osteoarthritis,which is limitedto joints only,r h e u m a t o i darthritis not onlycan destroy joints,but it can causedamage to many

organs throughout thebody. It leaves patientsfeeling wiped out. It canattack the lungs and thelung covering. It mightinflame the heart cover-ing. The principle fortreating rheumatoidarthritis is to treat itearly with medicinesthat can stop the pro-gression of the disease.Truly, the illness is farmore destructive thanany of the remedies usedfor it. Take Plaquenil. It

is true that it can dam-age the retina. But yourregular eye checkups willshow if retinal problemsare arising, and, if theyare, the drug is stopped.

The disfigurement offingers that is sometimesseen with rheumatoidarthritis comes about be-cause finger joints be-come partially or whollydislocated. The fingersdrift to the side anddownward.That it hasn’thappened to you could bethe result of taking dis-ease-modifying drugslike methotrexate andPlaquenil early on. Itmay never happen toyou. The treatment ofrheumatoid arthritis hasbeen revolutionized inthe past two decadeswith the drugs you havetaken and with drugscalled biologicals, whichalso slow the progressionof this illness. They aregiven by injection. If youever come to need them,

you have to get over yourneedle aversion. Theywork wonders.

The booklet on arthri-tis explains the morecommon kinds of it andtheir treatments.Readerscan order a copy by writ-ing: Dr. Donohue — No.301, Box 536475, Or-lando, FL 32853-6475.Enclose a check or moneyorder (no cash) for $4.75U.S./$6 Can. with the re-cipient’s printed nameand address.

DEAR ABBY:“Mild-ManneredMo-torist in Virginia”(Dec. 26) asked youfor a hand signal toindicate “I’m sorry”to fellow driverswhen he makes mis-takes behind thewheel. Not long ago,I made a not-so-serious mistake thatangered anotherdriver. When Iflashed a peace sign,then moved my mouth inan “I’m sorry,” the per-son’s frown changed to asmile. We then drove onwith pleasant attitudes,and I tried to watch mydriving more closely.

The peace sign, ofcourse, is hand closed,forefinger andmiddle fin-ger up as in a “V.” I thinkthe whole world recog-nizes a peace sign. Itworked for me. —

FAITHFULREADER INARKANSAS

D E A RFAITHFULREADER: Ia s s u r e d“Mild-Man-nered” thatmy helpfulreaders wouldstep forwardto offer sug-gestions foran “I’m sorry”

signal. And many, likeyou, mentioned givingthe peace sign. Offeringmore options, my news-paper readers comment:

DEAR ABBY: WeNew Yorkers have honedsilent signals to a fineart. When I’m at fault intraffic or other situationswhere I can’t apologizeverbally, I make eye con-tact, put my hand to mychest to accuse myself,

and put my hands in aprayerful gesture to askforgiveness. This almostalways defuses the situa-tion on the spot. Add asmile and you’ve made afriend as well. —LORNA, IN THE CITY

DEAR ABBY: I, too,have made boo-booswhile driving and wish Icould have said “I’msorry,” but the person isusually too busy shakinga fist and screamingwhat are obviously ob-scenities to notice. I likethe idea of a standard“sorry” gesture.

How about holdingone hand up with yourpalm toward your face forjust a second? (As in “I’mashamed of what I justdid.”) It’s simple and letsyou keep your other handon the wheel. — CAROLIN HOUSTON

DEAR ABBY: Why

not use the AmericanSign Language symbolfor “sorry”? Make a fistwith your right hand,palm toward the bodyand place it over the areaof your heart and move itin small circles. Ofcourse, the expression onyour face pulls it all to-gether. Sign language isused by many people,and the chance that theperson you offended mayalready be familiar withthis signmakes it a greatway to convey the senti-ment. — SIGN USER INOLD LYME, CONN.

DEAR ABBY: If Ithink the other driverwill be able to see me, thegesture I make after amistake is an exagger-ated, slow smack to myforehead — basically, myown Homer Simpson“Doh!” — IN THEWRONG IN MAINE

Rain moved in aftermidnight and will con-tinue for themorningdrive ont o d a y .D r i e ra i rb u i l d sin thisa f t e r -noon, and it will be acool day with highs inthe mid-40s.

This week’s “Student Spotlight of the Week” is Austin El-more (16). He is currently a junior here at Sidney HighSchool. Elmore is a football player here and a member ofjournalism. His favorite subject Is history. “Diversity, andhaving great teachers,” Austin replied when asked what hisfavorite thing about SHS was. Other than Sidney, he has alsoattended Findlay City Schools until ’04, and Piqua from ’04to ’08.

Austin’s favorite thing to do outside of school is play videogames, TWEET, and hanging out with friends. He looks for-ward to his senior season of football, and continuing to growas a person. I asked Austin what he wanted to be when hegrew up and he replied, “I want to be the play-by-play radiovoice of the Cincinnati Bengals or Cincinnati Reds.”

Big time differences on a small town scaleBBYY:: MMAARRIIAA YYAANNNNUUCCCCIIOne of the worthy charities Lehman supports with a monthly jeans-day is the Sidney Women’s Cen-ter. Most likely the main reason is because one of the co-founders of the organization is Lehman fac-ulty member Henry Cordonnier, a religion and health teacher. In 1983, Cordonnier and two friends, Ken Kanapke and Mike Gilardi, who felt equally as fervent aboutthe matter, established the Sidney Women’s Center. It is the northern branch of the Elizabeth’s New LifeCenter, headquartered in Dayton, OH. The Women’s Center is a safe place where women can receive free education, pregnancy tests and

ultrasounds. Cordonnier said, “The ultrasound is the most powerful pro-life tool we have. When a motheractually has the opportunity to see her child, she rarely chooses abortion.” The center is also known foreducation on various topics such as prenatal care and marriage assistance. Possibly the most unique thing about the Women’s Center is that it runs solely on donations. The onlyreason they are able to provide the services they do for free is due to the generosity of their donors. The volunteers of the center are especially pleased to have just bought a new building. “After mov-

ing four different times since we started, it is nice to know we finally have a permanent home,” said Cor-donnier. The Women’s Center workers estimate they have saved over 200 lives so far through theirdiligent efforts. They are truly making a difference in the small town of Sidney. If you would like to donate to this worthy cause call (937) 498-4425, or visit their new location, 2579

Michigan Street, Sidney.

Admiring a LegendBBYY:: NNIICCKK BBOOSSHHOONNEEKKAs kids growing up watching sports, we all had certain heroes

or favorite players. It didn’t matter which sport or at what level,there were always a few athletes that you wanted to be like whenyou grew up. One of those heroes might have been the one andonly Eddie George. Eddie George had a prolific college career playing football for

the Ohio State Buckeyes, and also in the NFL as a great run-ning back for the Tennessee Titans, Houston Texans, and Dallas Cowboys. Eddie George is an amaz-ing athlete as well as a great person. He was kind and generous enough recently to give a speech atthe Lehman Foundation Banquet, as well as meet many of his fans and sign autographs.Lehman hosted the Foundation Banquet on Saturday, January 28. The Foundation Banquet is an an-

nual fundraiser to raise money for the Lehman Foundation which helps the school in many ways. At-tendees got a fantastic multi-course meal, helped raise money for Lehman, and listened to EddieGeorge give a speech. Not only did adults attend the banquet, but there were Lehman students whoworked at the banquet as servers and waiters. These students were Alec Greve, Rachael Remencus,Grace Winhoven, Drew Westerheide, Marla Schroeder, Josh Smith, Pierce Bennett, John Copella,Jacob Haller, Michael Jacob, Katie Rossman, Louis Gaier, David Freytag, and Will Duritsch.Of these students, only a few stayed for Eddie George’s speech. Senior Will Duritsch said, “Eddie

George’s speech was about how to deal with the many changes in life, and he said that to achievegreatness we must all work hard and stay positive. Using Terrell Owens as an example, he said thatmany retired NFL players, primarily African-American, are now broke because they overspent theirmoney on drugs, gambling, alcohol, and other material goods. Eddie George’s speech helped me seethat if I want to achieve great things in my life that I need to try my hardest and chase after my dreams.” Many students who met Eddie George were excited to see the legend up close and personal. Sen-

ior David Freytag said, “I didn’t really get to see him when he played at Ohio State, but I was a big fanwhen he played for the Titans, and I still have his jersey. When I met him, he was much taller than I ex-pected than watching him on TV. I was really pumped because I never met an NFL player before.”

Yellow and blue deja vuBBYY:: LLEEXXIIEE FFRROONNIINNGGHair scrunchies, leg warmers, and afros from the 1970’s

made a comeback last Friday at Lehman. As a “throwback”basketball game, fans crowded the Jerry DeLong gym tosee Lehman crush Troy Christian, in both the JV and var-sity games. The overwhelming cheers that echoedthroughout the gym encouraged our boys to keep the leadthroughout the game. The 70’s atmosphere was truly convincing. The gym wasfilled with the sounds of old songs and cheers from thepast. Players raced down the court in shorts above theknees and dated jerseys. While the throwback theme resulted in outrageous out-

fits in the student section, it meant much more to the par-ents. At halftime, Lehman alumni were recognized andcalled to the middle of the gym where they had spent theirhigh school years either cheering for their classmates orplaying. Lehman grad Dan Freytag stated, “It was a lot offun. It reminded me of times when I was in school and weplayed games in the old gym.”The 2000-seat Schlater gym where the teams now play

was constructed in 1997 as part of a building addition thatincluded new science and computer labs, media center, artand music classrooms, and a chapel.

Let your hair down!BBYY:: AAMMYY WWAATTEERRCCUUTTTTEERRIn need of a trim, or wanting to get rid of those split ends?

Donating to the Locks of Love Foundation is a great way toput your next hair cut to good use. Locks of Love is a “non-profit organization that provides hairpieces to financiallydisadvantaged children in the U.S and Canada under age21 suffering from long term medical hair loss from any di-agnosis.” (LocksofLove.org) One teacher who has been sporting a new, shorter hair-

cut is Mrs. Ruthie Baker. Baker donated her hair to theLocks of Love Foundation. She first heard of Locks of Lovewhen she was in high school and someone donated theirhair. When asked what made her choose to donate her hairnow, Baker said, “It’s a tradition of mine. When my hair getslong enough I like to donate it to Locks of Love.” Although you do not know who will receive your dona-

tion, or when the child will receive it, just knowing that achild has received a boost of confidence and self esteemis every bit of motivation to give to this organization.If you’re looking to get a haircut in the near future, con-

sider going a little shorter and donating your hair to Locksof Love. Mrs. Baker was asked if she would do it again onceher hair grows back out, and she responded, “As long asmy hair will grow, I’ll keep doing it.”
