A date for a jury trial has been set ina lawsuit filed against former ShelbyCounty Sheriff's DeputyJodi Van Fossen of Wa-pakoneta by two men af-filiated with theFaultline Bar in Anna.Trial is set for Feb.12,2013, with a final pre-trial hearing on Jan. 31,2013, both in ShelbyCounty Common PleasCourt.Attorneys for Dan Ro-
driguez, 523 W. Main St., Anna, ownerof the Faultline Bar, and Wesley Burn-side of Fort Loramie, who worked at the
bar, and attorneys for Van Fossen spokeby phone with Judge James Stevensonregarding the case, with a trial date re-sulting.The lawsuit naming Van Fossen and
three “John Does” was filed last fall re-garding issues involving an allegeddrug investigation that took place in2010. The investigation allegedly in-volved drug buys conducted by the ACETask Force, a law enforcement opera-tion that no longer exists.The lawsuit claims defamation, false
light, tortious interference with busi-ness relations and intentional inflictionof emotional distress. A jury trial is de-manded.Attorneys for Rodriguez and Burn-
side have been ordered to turn over a
complete list of all witnesses they in-tend to call at trial by March 28 of thisyear and Van Fossen's attorneys mustprovide a list of their witnesses by April27.Rodriguez and Burnside are seeking
more than $25,000 in compensatorydamages and more than $25,000 inpunitive damages and legal fees.Van Fossen has filed a countersuit
against Rodriguez and Burnside claim-ing frivolous conduct and abuse ofprocess, with her attorneys stating theoriginal lawsuit is an attempt to coercepayment of money using the civilprocess as a threat.Van Fossen is seeking legal fees for
her defense against the claims in theoriginal lawsuit.

Telephone scams, Internetswindles, identity theft,Medicare fraud — don’t thinkthey happen only in big citiesand far away places. Theyhappen right here, in ShelbyCounty, in Auglaize County, inDarke County. And they arehappening more and moreoften.“We get a couple of reports
a week” of attempted phonescams or of credit card num-bers’ being used illegally, saidShelby County Sheriff JohnLenhart. He theorized thatabout 90 percent of such casesgo unreported.The Sidney Daily News
learned of three cases in thelast two months in which eld-erly residents were subjects oftelephone scams and losthomes, vehicles, savings andinvestment accounts worthhundreds of thousands of dol-lars.A fellow SDN reporter re-
cently was alerted by her
credit card company that anattempt was made to use hercard number to purchase aMacy’s gift card online. An-other reporter thwarted afraudulent attempt to get herto buy multiple laptop com-puters online. Even Lenhartadmitted to being the target ofa scam.“Apparently, I was having
my nails done in Quebec atthe same time I was eating atthe Inn Between in Botkins,”he said. He had tried to payhis restaurant bill with acredit card when someone elsewas also trying to use his cardnumber.Such thievery costs a lot.
Credit card fraud cost Ameri-cans $18 billion in 2011, ac-cording to the “2012 IdentityFraud Report” by JavelinStrategy & Research ofPleasanton, Calif. Identitytheft costs another $8 billion
annually, reported the BetterBusiness Bureau. And ProSeniors, a national advocacygroup, noted that Medicarefraud adds $11.6 billion to thecoffers of thieves every year.“In 2011, the identity fraud
incidence among U.S. adultsincreased 12.6 percent, re-bounding from a dramatic de-cline in 2010. The incidencerate increased to 4.9 percentof U.S. adults in 2011 from4.35 percent in 2010.The totalpopulation of fraud victimsrose to 11.6 million U.S. adultsin 2011 from 10.2 millionadults in 2010,” reportedJavelin Strategy & Research.The nationally respected re-
port also noted that while theincidences of fraud have in-creased, the amounts of moneygained through fraudulent ac-tion have remained steadyfrom 2010 through 2011.

DR. WAL-LACE: I’m 19,and myboyfriend is 21.We share anapartment to-gether. His fa-ther employsboth of us, andwe both are paidfairly. For thefirst month,things were re-ally smooth. Itfelt great beingindependent and in love.But lately, things havechanged, even deterio-rated. We argue a lot andcan’t agree on anything.For instance, he expectsme to prepare suppereven though we both gethome at the same time.When I tell him to hangup his clothes instead oftossing them on the floor,he gets mad and tells methat I’m acting just likehis mother.
About a month ago,Josh asked me to marryhim. I’m not so sure that’sthe right thing to do. Ithink I love him, butagain, I’m not 100 percentsure. Last night,we had along discussion about ourdifferences, and threehours later, he was stilltrying to convinceme thatonce we get married a lot
of this bickeringwould fade away.He says mar-riage will makethings better be-cause marriagewill give us bothpeace of mindand that meanssecurity. I dowant to believehim, but I havedoubts. Youropinion will beappreciated. —
Cindy, Orlando, Fla.CINDY: All marriage
does for couples who livetogether before saying, “Ido” is to make it legal. Itis not a cure-all from per-sonal deficiencies. I thinkthe time has come to stopsharing an apartmentand to go back to datingthe old-fashioned way.And if you both still con-sider marriage, makesure you complete manybeneficial sessions with amarriage counselor.
DR. WALLACE: I’m19, and in five months, Iwill be the mother of ababy girl. I have smokedsince I was 14, and I quitwhen I discovered that Iwas going to give birth toa beautiful baby girl. Itwas difficult to quit smok-ing. At my worst, I was
smoking two packs of cig-arettes daily and that wasa lot of money going up insmoke.
I know the evils ofsmoking for the user, butwhat are the harmful ef-fects on an unborn babywhen the mother choosesto continue smoking dur-ing pregnancy? —Michelle,Nashville,Tenn.
MICHELLE: You area wise young lady toabandon your tobaccohabit for your health andthe health of your soon-to-be-born daughter. Nowthat you have stoppedsmoking, don’t ever con-sider returning to yourold ways. As you areaware, nicotine is a pow-erful drug and smokingduring pregnancy placesa baby at serious risk.Theharmful ingredients incigarette smoke can re-tard the growth of thefetus so that the infant’sweight at birth is belownormal. According to theCanadian Cancer Society,females who smoke dur-ing pregnancy are muchmore likely to have a still-born baby or an infantthat dies soon after birth.
P.S.Consuming alcoholduring pregnancy canproduce similar birth de-fects to the unborn child.

PRIMARY ROUNDUP
School levies approvedCOLUMBUS (AP) —Voters approved 74 percent
of school issues on Ohio’s ballots on Tuesday, help-ing some districts avoid cuts to programs and serv-ices.The Westerville schools in suburban Columbus
had planned to eliminate sports teams, bands andprograms for gifted students. The Columbus Dis-patch reports a levy victory from voters there willprevent those cuts and spare an estimated 221 jobsfrom being eliminated.An analysis by the Ohio School Boards Associa-
tion finds that 81 of 110 school issues on Tuesday’sballots passed in the state.The group’s executive director says 51 of 53 ex-
isting school taxes were renewed, while 30 of 57new levies were passed.Rick Lewis attributes Tuesday’s high success
rate to school administrators demonstrating thatthey had made concessions and were trying to workunder tough budget contraints.
Social media’s impactWASHINGTON (AP) —The 10-state Republican
Super Tuesday presidential contest generated morethan 530,000 comments on social media over 24hours, far outpacing any other primary or caucusnight so far.The comments on Twitter, Facebook and other
social media were tabulated by Bluefin Labs, aCambridge, Mass., social analytic company thattracks digital chatter around television.Men accounted for 64 percent of the social media
comments about the race, while women offered 36percent.The comments peaked shortly after 9 p.m. EST,
when Rick Santorum spoke to supporters at a cam-paign rally in Steubenville, Ohio. The numbersspiked again minutes later when Mitt Romney ad-dressed his campaign rally in Boston.A CNN debate in October received 548,000 com-
ments, the most of any campaign event so far.Super Tuesday placed second.
Teacher union membersto be on fall ballot
COLUMBUS (AP) — Ohio’s largest teachers’union says 10 of its members will appear on the fallballot in legislative races around the state.The Ohio Education Association released the
number on Wednesday after Tuesday’s primary. Itincludes current and retired teachers and schoolsupport professionals.Union officials had said ahead of the election
that educators were flocking into politics as a back-lash against a collective bargaining overhaulpassed by the state Legislature last year.Voters re-jected the law limiting the bargaining rights of350,000 public employees in November, aftermonths of rallies, parades and demonstrations anda campaign topping $40 million.OEA President Patricia Frost-Brooks says the
ballot line-up shows Ohioans want a Legislaturethat supports the public education system.
Romney win leavesquestions aboutOhio strength
BY DAN SEWELLAssociated Press
COLUMBUS (AP) —Mitt Romney’s narrowOhio victory allowed himto move on with SuperTuesday’s key prizeadded to his presidentialresume,while leaving be-hind questions about hisstrength in the crucialstate for November.Romney performed
well in metropolitanareas and among votersconcerned about theeconomy and picking thebest candidate for defeat-ing President BarackObama. Despite heavilyoutspending rival RickSantorum, he won byonly 1 percent, however.With all precincts report-ing unofficial returns,Romney had 38 percent,with a lead of more than12,000 votes, over Santo-rum at 37 percent; for-mer House SpeakerNewt Gingrich trailed at15 percent.“Romney is just kind
of stuck in 30-some per-cent,” said Ohio AttorneyGeneral Mike DeWine, aSantorum backer whosaid the former Pennsyl-vania senator can betterreach the kinds of voterswho will swing Ohio’s re-sults in the general elec-tion.“Rick Santorum re-
lates better to the aver-age person, the ReaganDemocrats, the blue-col-lar workers, the swingvoters,” DeWine saidWednesday.However, Sen. Rob
Portman said Romneyhas demonstrated he’sthe candidate with thebest handle on tacklingeconomic issues that areforemost on voters’minds and is the bestcandidate to win Ohioback from Obama afterthe Democrat carried itin 2008.“He’s the candidate
best equipped to take onBarack Obama in No-vember and whenelected, turn thingsaround in Ohio and thecountry,” Portman said ina statement shortly afterThe Associated Presscalled Ohio for Romneyat 12:26 a.m. ESTWednesday.The state’s Democratic
Party chairman, ChrisRedfern, scoffedWednes-day at Romney’s eked-out win, saying he hadbeen bruised and weak-ened and again showedinability to connect withaverage Americans.“He’s uncomfortable in
his own political skin,”Redfern said. “You cantry and dress up like it’sHalloween and put a pairof blue jeans on andthink you’re going to getby the smell test thatOhioans provide you inthese primary cycles, butit just didn’t work lastnight and it won’t workthis November.”Exit polls showed
Romney did well withbetter-educated, higher-earning voters and mod-erates, while Santorum
ran well with social con-servatives. Santorumspent much of his cam-paign seeking to cementbonds with working-classOhio voters and stressingU.S. manufacturing, hehad only a small leadover Romney among peo-ple without college de-grees — a commonmeasurement for theblue-collar vote.Xavier University po-
litical scientist GeneBeaupre said that whileRomney’s Ohio winmight have been uncon-vincing, he showed somesignificant appeal. Forone, Romney carried afour-county southwestOhio region rich in con-servative Republican vot-ers who usually turn outin high numbers in No-vember if they are en-thused about thecandidate — he capturedHamilton County in theCincinnati area withnearly half the vote, animpressive primaryshowing that probablywas helped by his sup-port from native sonPortman.“I think in the end,
he’ll run a campaign thatwill definitely appeal tothose people becausethey don’t want Obama,”Beaupre said. “They’llhold their nose and votefor him (Romney) if theyhave to.”Meanwhile, Ohio is
also in for a hard-hittingSenate race. DemocratSherrod Brown, who un-seated DeWine in 2006,faces Ohio TreasurerJosh Mandel, a well-funded Republican whocruised past four othercandidates Tuesday with63 percent of the vote.
Rep. Jean Schmidt losther bid for a fourth fullterm in an upset primaryloss to Brad Wenstrup,who among other thingspoked fun at her habit ofappearing chummy withObama when greetinghim at State of the Unionspeeches. Wenstrup, adoctor and Iraq war vet-eran, is likely to keep theHouse 2nd District seatPortman had for seventerms in Republicanhands. Schmidt first wonit in a 2005 special elec-tion.Two Democrats in the
district were separatedby a few dozen votes in arace still too close to callWednesday.Another colorful Ohio
political figure, formerCleveland mayor andpresidential candidateDennis Kucinich, lost theDemocratic primary tofellow incumbent MarcyKaptur in the 9th Dis-trict. They were throwntogether by remapping ofOhio’s districts becausethe state lost two seatsafter population changes.Plenty of colorful poli-
ticking is still to come,though: Kaptur will faceRepublican nomineeSamuel Wurzelbacher,who was thrust into themiddle of the 2008 presi-dential debate as “Joe thePlumber,” a northwestOhio voter expressingconcern to Obama abouttaxes.

TULSA, Okla. (AP) —A sheriff ’s deputy, suspected gunmanand a bystander were wounded Wednesday afternoon duringan exchange of gunfire outside a Tulsa courthouse, sendingpeople scattering from a crowded plaza as an employee at anearby library used his camera to chronicle the events.Police spokesman LelandAshley said authorities responded
to a report of a person firing into the air between the TulsaCounty Courthouse and the library. Deputies, including theone who was wounded, exchanged gunfire with the shooter,Ashley said.“During the course of exchange of gunfire, an innocent by-
stander was hit,” Ashley said. He said the injuries to thedeputy and the bystander did not appear life-threatening.No names were immediately released.Shannon Clark, Tulsa County Sheriff ’s Department
spokesman, said the deputy was shot in both arms.Emergency Medical Services Authority Capt. Chris Stevens

I start snapping off some shots and hesits down, just casually sits down, gun in his hand and threesheriff ’s come out of the courthouse and I can’t hear whatthey’re saying.”Fancher said the man turned around and stood up with his

RAWALPINDI, Pakistan(AP) — Osama bin Ladenspent his last weeks in a housedivided, amid wives riven bysuspicions. On the top floor,sharing his bedroom, was hisyoungest wife and favorite.The trouble came when hiseldest wife showed up andmoved into the bedroom on thefloor below.Others in the family,
crammed into the three-storyvilla compound where binLaden would eventually bekilled in a May 2 U.S. raid,were convinced that the eldestwife intended to betray the al-Qaida leader.The picture of bin Laden’s
life in the Abbottabad com-pound comes from Brig.Shaukat Qadir, a retired Pak-istani army officer who spent
months researching the eventsand says he was given rare ac-cess to transcripts of Pakistaniintelligence’s interrogation ofbin Laden’s youngest wife,whowas detained in the raid.Qadir was also given rare
entry into the villa, which wassealed after the raid and de-molished last month. Pictureshe took, which he allowed TheAssociated Press to see,showed the villa’s main stair-case, splattered with blood.Other pictures show windowsprotected by iron grills and the20-foot high walls around thevilla.Qadir’s research gives one
of the most extensive descrip-tions of the arrangements inbin Laden’s hideout when U.S.SEAL commandos stormed in,killing bin Laden and four oth-
ers. His account is based on ac-counts by an official of Pak-istan’s Inter-ServicesIntelligence agency who es-corted him on a tour of thevilla, the interrogation tran-scription he was allowed toread, and interviews withother ISI officials and al-Qaida-linked militants andtribesmen in the Afghan-Pak-istan border region.The compound where bin
Laden lived since mid-2005was a crowded place, with 28residents — including binLaden, his three wives, eight ofhis children and five of hisgrandchildren. The bin Ladenchildren ranged in age fromhis 24-year-old son Khaled,who was killed in the raid, to a3-year-old born during theirtime in Abbottabad. Bin
Laden’s courier, the courier’sbrother and their wives andchildren also lived in the com-pound.The 54-year-old bin Laden
himself seemed aged beyondhis years, with suspected kid-ney or stomach diseases, andthere were worries over hismental health, Qadir said hewas told by ISI officials and anal-Qaida member he inter-viewed in the border regions.Bin Laden lived and died on
the third floor. One room heshared with his youngest wife,Amal Ahmed Abdel-Fatah al-Sada, a Yemeni who was 19when she married the al-Qaida leader in 1999. Anotherwife, Siham Saber, lived in an-other room on the same floorthat also served as a computerroom, Qadir told AP.
Bin Laden’s lair was house divided
UK troops killed in AfghanistanKABUL, Afghanistan (AP)
— Six British soldiers werekilled after an explosion hittheir armored vehicle insouthwestern Afghanistan,Britain’s Ministry of Defensesaid Wednesday. It was thebiggest loss of life for Britishforces in the country since aplane crash in 2006.The soldiers were on patrol
in Helmand province at thetime of the blast Tuesdayevening.British Prime Minister
David Cameron said thedeaths marked a “desperatelysad day for our country.”The attack is certain to
fuel calls for the accelerationof a planned withdrawal of allU.S.-led coalition troops fromAfghanistan by the end of2014. The war has become in-
creasingly unpopular in theUnited States and among itsNATO partners in Europe.Washington has also grown
frustrated with the adminis-tration of President HamidKarzai, who has been makingincreasing demands of Amer-ica in order to sign a deal thatwill allow some troops to re-main past 2014, mainly in acounterterrorism and train-ing role.Helmand has been the
deadliest province by far forcoalition troops since theAfghan war started over adecade ago. Most of Britain’s9,500 soldiers are basedthere, and the province alsohas thousands of U.S. troops.The Taliban have fought
fiercely for control of Hel-mand because it accounts for
about half of all poppy pro-duction in Afghanistan.Poppy is the main ingredientin making opium and hasbeen a significant source ofrevenue for the militants.Britain has lost more
troops in Afghanistan— 404after Wednesday’s killings —than any other country exceptfor the United States, whichhas counted at least 1,780deaths as a result of the U.S.-led invasion in late 2001, ac-cording to an AssociatedPress count. The AP count ofU.S. deaths is six less thanthe Defense Department’stally. At least 1,484 U.S. mili-tary service members havedied in Afghanistan as a re-sult of hostile action, accord-ing to the military’s numbers.More than 2,800 troops
from all nations have diedsince the start of the war inAfghanistan. There are about130,000 troops from 50 coun-tries serving with the inter-national military coalition.The Helmand deaths
would be the biggest loss oflife for Britain in a single in-cident in Afghanistan since aNimrod aircraft crashed in2006, killing 14 service mem-bers. It would also be thelargest number of casualtiesin a ground operation forBritain in the country and thedeadliest single incident forNATO since Jan. 19, when sixU.S. Marines died in a heli-copter crash in Helmandprovince. Last August, insur-gents shot down a Chinookhelicopter, killing 30 Ameri-can troops.

working hard to woo this piv-otal constituency in his re-elec-tion race. His Democraticallies are even accusing theGOP of launching a “waragainst women” after the Re-publicans reignited a new na-tional debate over culturalissues, including birth control.But now the Republicans—
including Ann Romney andAlaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski— are striking back with apromise: Their party will winwomen by focusing on the realNo. 1 issue, the economy.Not that Obama is ready to
give up that issue.“I believe that the Democ-
rats have a better story to tellto women about how we’regoing to solidify the middleclass and grow this economy,make sure everybody has afair shot, everybody’s doingtheir fair share, and we got afair set of rules of the road thateverybody has to follow,”Obama said Tuesday as Re-publican presidential con-tenders competed in SuperTuesday primaries.Hours later, Romney — the
wife of GOP front-runner MittRomney — answered him.“Do you know what women
care about?Women care aboutjobs,” she declared on nationaltelevision, as her husbandwaited nearby to speak.“They’re angry, and they’re fu-rious about the entitlementdebt that we’re leaving for ourchildren.”“I’m right along with Ann
Romney,” Murkowski said onWednesday. The Alaska Re-publican has been critical ofher party’s focus on birth con-trol policy when people remainworried about economic stabil-ity. In a telephone interview,Murkowski added: “There isclearly a direction that we cantake as Republicans that givesconfidence and assurance thatwe are focused on the issuesthat matter to women.”Eight months before Elec-
tion Day, women have becomearguably themost sought-aftervoting group in an electionyear where the presidency andcontrol of Congress are atstake. Females comprise a ma-jority of voters in a typicalpresidential election year.Women are a crucial voting
group for Obama, particularlyin the suburbs of big cities likeDenver and Detroit. He wouldnot be president today had henot beaten Republican JohnMcCain by 13 points amongwomen four years ago.The im-portance of winning thewomen’s vote may be magni-fied this year given that thefragile economy may weighdown the support of othergroups that supported Obamastrongly in 2008, such as Lati-nos and college-age voters.Recent polling suggests
Obama is gaining amongwomen. An Associated Press-GfK poll conducted last monthshowed his approval ratinghad risen 10 percentage pointsamong women since Decem-ber. The poll also showed thatwomen approve more stronglyof the way the president ishandling the economy.
HONOLULU (AP) —Guests at a hotel near Hon-olulu’s airport found a suck-ling pig in the lobby, but itwasn’t on the menu of theluau.They called the Hawaiian
Humane Society last week,when a 5-week-old female pigwas found running around thelobby. It was unclear how thepiglet ended up there.
Humane society spokes-woman Tasha Tanimoto saysthe pig is healthy and hasbeen named Pukalani. Shewill be available for adoptiononce she’s a little older. Tani-moto says the piglet is beingbottle-fed by a volunteer.Humane society officials
aren’t sure of the pig’s breed,but a veterinarian suspectsshe will grow to be quite large.
Piglet found in hotel’s lobby
Dear Heloise:I know this issilly, but mywife and I havedifferent opin-ions as to theproper way tolay the flatsheet when wemake the bed.
My theory isthat the fin-ished side of theflat sheet shouldface down, to-ward the mattress. Thisway, when the sheet andcomforter are turnedback, you see the fin-ished side of the sheet.
Her theory is that youalways put all the sheetsfinished-side up. Pleasesettle this silly disputeso we can sleep happilyever after. — G.P., viaemail
A silly sheet disputeindeed! After taking aninformal survey inHeloise Central, four outof five of us agreed withyou that we make thebed so that when the topsheet is turned down,
the finishedside is facingup. But, as myfather used tosay, when thelights are out, Ican’t see thesheets anyway.Or, whoevermakes the bedmakes the call!Readers, shareyour thoughtson this topic! —Heloise
PURSE SAFETYDear Heloise: Today
there was another letter
in my local paper from ashopper who lost herpurse.
The solution is so sim-ple:When I reach my carand unlock it, the keysgo in my pocket. Thefirst thing I remove fromthe shopping cart is mypurse, not the baggeditems.
Then I unload thecart. To reach my purse,a thief would have toknock me aside to get it.It would not be a typicalpurse snatch. — M.K.,Naples, Fla.

ANNA — RyanSmith, a junior at AnnaHigh School, has com-pleted his Eagle Scoutproject.
The scout is a mem-ber of Anna Troop 301and is the son of Michaeland Donna Smith.
He has always en-joyed camping at LakeLoramie, so he contactedJason Witman, Lake Lo-ramie park officer, aboutdoing an Eagle Scoutproject. Witman sug-gested that he buildsome benches and dosome landscaping on oneof the trails.
Smith attended aLake Loramie Improve-ment Association meet-ing to ask its support fora project at Fort LoramieState Park. The associa-tion did contribute to-ward Smith’s project.
Smith decided tomake benches for LittleTurtle Trace Trail. Heplanned the materialsand funds that would beneeded in order to com-plete his project.
Witman requestedthat the benches blendin with the surround-ings. Therefore, Smith
used brown, syntheticwood, so that thebenches would last along time.
Smith looked onlinefor bench designs. He se-lected one from GardenGate and revised it tomeet his needs and hisbudget.
He talked with localbusinesses to ask theirsupport. Donated mate-rial and funds for theproject came from thefollowing: Fort LoramieDairy King, Fort Lo-ramie Day Care, GehretNursery, Hoying’s Serv-ice Center, Lake LoramieImprovement Associa-tion, Lowe’s, M&A Muf-fler and Tires, MinsterSupply, Wagner’s IGA,Wells Brothers andWestern Ohio TrueValue Hardware.
After the donationswere collected, the nextstep was to decide on thelayout of the landscap-ing and purchase thematerials for the con-struction of fourbenches.The assembly ofthe benches took place atSmith’s house withfriends, family, and otherBoy Scouts helping.
Then the trail had to
be prepared. All of thesites needed to be tilledand the dirt leveled offbefore placing thebenches. Once the areaswere prepped and lev-eled off, a black weedprevention mat was laiddown and the bencheswere put into place. Thelast step was to work onthe landscaping aroundthe benches and at theentrance of Little TurtleTrace Trail.
In order for Smith toachieve the honor ofEagle Scout, he was re-quired to earn 21 meritbadges, participate introop activities, and com-plete a community proj-ect. His project also hadto pass the scrutiny of anEagle Scout Board of Re-view. After completion,Witman presentedSmith with a certificateand a plaque at a LakeLoramie ImprovementAssociation meeting.Chuck Moeller, Smith’sscout leader, grantedrecognition at an EagleScout Court of Honor.
Smith believes thiswas a great experienceand feels that it was alsoa good way to give backto the community.

ney Police Chief KevinGessler agree that thereis little that can be donefrom a law enforcementstandpoint, even when ascam is reported, so pre-venting scams from hap-pening is critical. Mostidentity theft and tele-phone scams originate incountries with no extra-dition laws. Perpetratorscan be traced to thosecountries, but there is noway to find who they are.So local authorities andvictims have no legal re-course.“Sometimes people
are shocked that wedon’t stop what we’redoing to investigatetheir case,” said Gessler.“We turn it over to theFBI. We don’t have theresources to handle it.”“Law enforcement is

The power of prayerBBYY:: LLEEXXIIEE FFRROONNIINNGGOn Sunday, February 12, at 1 a.m., John Richard
heard a knock at the door that no parent wants tohear. He opened the door to see a sheriff standing infront of him. The sheriff informed Mr. Richard that hisson, Connor, had been in a severe car accident andwas taken to Miami Valley Hospital in Dayton by CareFlight. Connor was driving home from McDonald’s after a
basketball game at Bethel when he hit a patch ofblack ice only one mile from his house. His car droveinto a ditch and flipped into a pole on the side of theroad. Connor was left with serious injuries includingfour broken ribs, a broken pelvis, some broken lowervertebrae, punctured lungs, and a ruptured spleen.After less than two weeks of hospitalization and
much fighting, Connor was able to return home on Fri-day, February 24. According to Mr. Richard, “Connoris doing very well and he will be continuing rehab athome. He knows everyone has been praying for himand he knows how fortunate he is.”After everything Connor has gone through, it is a
miracle that the doctors believe he will eventually beone hundred percent back to normal. He will be in awheelchair for one month, and after some time usinga walker, he will be able to walk on his own. When asked about the community’s support, Mr.
Richard replied, “The support was unbelievable, in-credibly overwhelming, thoughtful, and loving. Itmeans the world to us. So many people who did noteven know Connor have been praying.” Connor’s recuperation has shown Lehman and the
community that prayers are heard. The rest of his pathto recovery will not be easy, so although he is home,please continue to pray.
Superior scienceBBYY:: AAMMYY WWAATTEERRCCUUTTTTEERRThe stress of picking a project, conducting research,designing the board, and putting together a sciencefair project has come to a close for most people, but itis continuing for a handful of students at Lehman. Stu-dents who received a grade of Superior at the LHSScience Fair on February 15 are preparing to go on tothe District Science Fair to be held at Central StateUniversity on March 17. Moving on to Districts this year are freshmen Maria
Pannapara and Josh West; sophomores MaKennaCabe, Bryce Eck, Spencer Staroska, and Grace Win-hoven; juniors Lauren Bosway, Samantha Neumeier,and Katie Rossman; and seniors Katie Catanzarite,William Duritsch, Lexie Froning, Nicole Larger, KandisSargeant, and Dan Sehlhorst. “It will be interesting to see how my project does at
Districts this year,” said Froning. With projects rangingfrom Microbiology to Zoology, it is obvious that theseLehman students have a great opportunity to taketheir projects to the next level and really make a greatlearning, as well as teaching, experience out of reach-ing Districts. “Districts should be a great opportunityfor Lehman students to showcase their knowledge,”remarked Bosway. Clearly much time and effort has been put into theseprojects, and their efforts will surely pay off as the stu-dents prepare for the next level. Good luck to all District Science Fair qualifiers this
year; we wish you the best of luck as you advance,possibly all the way to state!

Wall Street comes to LehmanBBYY:: MMAARRIIAA YYAANNNNUUCCCCIIThe Business II class is simulating real life stock market experience through The Stock Market Game. Thisgame is run through the University of Cincinnati’s Economics Center. High schools across the nation partic-ipate in the program, but this will be Lehman’s first year. Lehman Business Teacher Joe Harrmann said, “Iheard about the game from Kim Moon, an employee of the UC Economics Center.” Harrmann will be the mod-erator of the Lehman team and will learn alongside the students as to how everything works.The class is split up into four registered teams, each with four members. Students participating in the sim-ulation are given a virtual account worth $100,000. With this virtual money, they have the opportunity to buystocks and make trades. This teaches the students how to deal with investments, mutual funds, and othertopics. The game runs for ten weeks. The LHS students will take one class period a week to participate inthe game.As if gaining this real life experience isn’t a big enough prize, the top student teams in the state will win prizes.This additional incentive will make students work even harder to learn the game. But win or lose, the expe-rience is what counts. Someday these students may be investing real money, so much more will be at stake.

Track AttackBBYY:: NNIICCKK BBOOSSHHOONNEEKKWith spring approaching, it’s time to hit the track.Lehman’s track and field team was very successfullast year, sending many individuals to state compe-tition. That’s the motivation for the team going intothis season. The team is led by Coach Dwayne Rowley and
new coach (and Lehman teacher) Ruthie Baker.Each coach has much knowledge in the sport andtogether, they are going to give Lehman the bestchance for going to state competition. Baker said, “I expect great things and new recordsfrom my runners. I am coaching track because I likeLehman students, I like track, and I want to havefun.”There are several great returning runners from lastseason. There are two seniors returning: SarahDavidson and Haleigh Spicer. Sophomore JustinStewart broke the record for the 100 meter dash forDivision III boys last year. Shot put thrower QuintonMalone is also returning with his talents after notparticipating last season. Malone said, “My biggest goal is to make it to re-
gionals, maybe state. We are young, but we have apretty strong team. Throwers are hands down themanliest people on the team. I mean, I’m a beast.Then we have Brad Montgomery and Quinn Monninand we have high expectations for them. We have afreshman, Ben Montgomery. Talk about a power-house; this guy is built like a tank. We have a lot ofgreat running talent returning like Justin Stewart andJoe Fuller.”

Students await the premier ofthe Hunger Games movie
BY TJ LINDSEY
On March 23, 2012 The Hunger Games moviewill be making its debut. The one thing on every-one’s mind is, will it be able to keep up with thebook? The bad thing about books being made intomovies is the disappointment that some of theviewers may have. The movie might not be whatthey had envisioned when they were reading thebook therefore they would be disappointed withhow the movie portrayed it.
So far, by what I have seen in the previews, itlooks like the chances of the movie being good arevery high, but it may be too soon to tell. Senior,Chelcia Criss, has also followed the release of theHunger Games movie, and says, “I feel that thecharacters in the trailer have been portrayed justlike the book and that the story line is the same.”
People have to keep in mind that it can’t alwaysbe the way they want it. I think the movie will begood and that’s coming from someone who doesn’tlike to read and loved The Hunger Games. We willsee how it turns out here in a few weeks.

JOE GIBBS RACING JGR has notchedfive top 10s out of its three teams thus far
in the Sprint Cup season. The high-light, of course, is Denny Hamlin’s
win in the Subway Fresh Fit 500from Phoenix International Race-
way.
Denny Hamlin pulls into Victory Lane in Phoenix. ASP, Inc.
1. Denny Hamlin Hamlin and new crew chief Darian Grubb led the most laps at Daytona prior to finishing fourth and followed it up with his first win since June 2011.
2. Greg Biffle Consecutive third-place runs to start the season from a team that had only three top 5s all season in 2011. And with Vegas on the horizon, things are looking way up for The Biff.
3. Kevin Harvick Seventh- and second-place showings for the driver some have made a championship favorite this year. That’s all the more impressive considering he has a new crew chief and pit crew.
4. Matt Kenseth The Daytona 500 champion followed up that win and a week’s worth of media with a 13th at Phoenix. In 2009, he actually won both of the season’s first two events.
5. Jimmie Johnson Johnson and the boys did what they needed to do at Phoenix (fourth) after a disastrous Daytona — which included wrecking on Lap 2 and possibly losing ace crew chief Chad Knaus to suspension.
6. Mark Martin Back to a partial schedule, Martin has kicked off his tenure with Michael Waltrip Racing in style, with finishes of 10th (Daytona) and ninth (Phoenix). Vegas should be good to him, as well.
7. Joey Logano Logano, also under the guidance of a new crew chief, is getting off to the start he needed in a contract year. His ninth- and 10th-place runs are the best to start the season in his young career.
8. Kyle Busch Rowdy was strong at Daytona — leading 52 laps — before finishing 17th when the craziness started near the end. A sixth at Phoenix was a respectable follow-up.
9. Carl Edwards Edwards and company will find their footing, but having led zero laps with eighth- and 17th-placefinishes to their credit is a little more quiet a start than anyone expected.
10. Brad Keselowski Much like Busch, Keselowski’s shot to win the Daytona 500 was ruined late but he rebounded nicely with a fifth-place run in the desert.
11. Tony Stewart Stewart got off to a slow start last year too, and look how that worked out.12. Dale Earnhardt Jr. Being happy with a top 15 in Phoenix isn’t exactly what you want to hear out of the team.13. Jeff Burton A good run went bad when the engine went up in smoke late. Otherwise, it’s a promising start.14. Jeff Gordon Made the most of a mediocre day at PIR with a solid eighth-place finish.15. Marcos Ambrose The results may not show it, but Ambrose and his RPM bunch have been pretty racy so far.Just off the lead pack: Clint Bowyer, Kasey Kahne, Bobby Labonte, Paul Menard, Martin Truex Jr.
JAMIE MCMURRAY Some-times even a new season
doesn’t precipitate a turnaround.McMurray’s 2011 nightmare has
lingered into 2012. The 2010 Day-tona 500 winner has finishes of 31st and37th in the season’s first two events.

IT’S ALL IN THE NUMBERS DennyHamlin’s win gave car No. 11 its198th Grand National/Cup Series vic-tory. That ties the 11 with car No. 43for most NASCAR victories all-time.Hamlin has driven the No. 11 to 18wins. Cale Yarborough (55), DarrellWaltrip (43) and Ned Jarrett (36) havethe most wins while sporting thenumber. Richard Petty is credited forall but six of car No. 43’s 198 tri-umphs (he won six races driving theNo. 41 and once in the No. 42).
ON THE RIGHT FOOT Two drivershave notched top-5 runs through twoCup races in the 2012 season. DennyHamlin (fourth, first) and Greg Biffle(third, third) are, not surprisingly,leading the Cup Series championshipstandings. Kevin Harvick, Mark Martinand Joey Logano have recorded con-secutive top-10 showings.
SCORE ANOTHER WIN FOR THECOMMONWEALTH Elliott Sadler’swin in the Nationwide race at PhoenixInternational Raceway was his first inthe series since 1998. Sadler, who fin-ished second in last season’s NNSstandings despite not winning a race,has three Cup wins and one Truck vic-tory since ’98.

Clean air will make any car feel likeit’s handling a little better. To get out front andenjoy that downforce you need to be able toget through the corners.

� Penske Racing dropped a bombshell on Thurs-day when it announced it is switching manufactur-ers, from Dodge to Ford, at the conclusion of the2012 season. Penske’s operation currently fields Sprint Cup carsfor Brad Keselowski (No. 2) and AJ Allmendinger as well as SamHornish Jr. (12) and Keselowski and Parker Kligerman (No. 22) inthe Nationwide Series.“We look forward to joining the Ford Racing NASCAR program be-ginning in 2013,” Roger Penske said. “We appreciate the long-termcommitment that Ford has made to Penske Racing and for theircontinued support of the sport.”Penske Racing previously fielded Fords from 1995-2002 prior to aswitch to Dodge in 2003.“This is an historic day for our racing program, and we are thrilledto see another member of the extended Ford family coming back,”said Mark Fields, Ford’s president of The Americas. “Working to-gether with Penske Racing gives Ford another championship-levelprogram, and we are excited to take our racing program to all-newlevels.”Ralph Gilles, President and CEO SRT Brand and Motorsports, offeredthe following statement: “Dodge has enjoyed a successful partner-
ship with Penske Racing for 10 years. It’s a part-nership that has produced results for both parties
on and off the track. Roger (Penske) has made abusiness decision to accept an offer with another manufacturer.“We do value our NASCAR program and will be evaluating the op-portunities available moving forward. As those opportunities mate-rialize, we’ll reveal our 2013 plans, not only in NASCAR but in otherforms of motorsports.”� Michael Waltrip Racing announced via press release prior to theNASCAR events at Phoenix International Raceway that Elliott Sadlerwould drive five races in its No. 55 Cup Series Toyota.However, Sadler’s Nationwide Series car owner, Richard Childress,informed the driver on Saturday that he would prefer him not tojump outside of the Chevrolet family.“I was going to drive the 55 car for five races for MWR, but actually,after the race on Saturday, after Victory Lane, Richard and I wentto his bus,” Sadler told SPEED.com. “And I think Richard, along withsome of the executives that he has, have just decided that it’s prob-ably not in our best interest to do that right now.”There is no word yet on who will man the No. 55 for the five raceswhen Mark Martin and Michael Waltrip are not driving the car.

The second race of the 2012NASCAR Sprint Cup season — theSubway Fresh Fit 500 at Phoenix In-ternational Raceway — served as aweekend of redemption for DennyHamlin.
Fuel-strategy-gone-bad at PIRwrecked his championship hopes in2010, when Hamlin's tank ran dryand he fell from first to 12th on thepylon. It was a blow from whichHamlin would not recover, as he lostthe title to Jimmie Johnson the fol-lowing week, and a 2011 hangoverensued that cost crew chief MikeFord his job.
So Hamlin took a different ap-proach to the 2012 season by seeinga sports psychologist and gettingout of the NASCAR hub that isCharlotte, N.C. Ironically, it was tothe Phoenix area that Hamlin re-treated, spending a relaxing offsea-son on the golf course andbasketball courts for a warm winteraway from all things NASCAR.
And after a strong fourth-placeshowing in the Daytona 500, Ham-lin and new crew chief DarianGrubb — who won the 2011 cham-pionship with Tony Stewart — putthe series on high alert that theirpairing may be a potent one. Hamlinconserved just enough gas in thewaning laps at Phoenix on Sunday,outlasting Kevin Harvick to grab hisfirst win of the 2012 season.
“This is as good as it can get forme,” Hamlin said. “I consider thismy offseason second home. I’ve gota lot of friends and whatnot out here
now, and so coming back to thetrack where essentially we did losethe championship in 2010 … it justfeels so good to come out and becompetitive again.
“We’ve been non-existent for 14months, and now, here we come.”
Jimmie Johnson led 55 laps andwas the dominant player through theevent’s halfway point. However, aloose wheel dropped him deep in thefield, and he spent the rest of the af-ternoon methodically working hisway through it. Instead, it was Ham-lin and Harvick who battled for thewin over the final 60 laps. WhenHarvick’s fuel tank ran dry withone-and-a-half laps remaining,Hamlin cruised to his 18th careerCup win.
Greg Biffle, who ran third in Day-tona, Johnson and Brad Keselowskirounded out the top 5.
“I don’t know that I could get tohim,” Harvick, who led a race-high88 laps, said when asked if he couldhave gotten by Hamlin if not for the
fuel issue. “Our cars were so evenlymatched. He was a little bit better onthe restarts than I was. If I could getout front on the restart and haveenough room to slide my car around,then I could take off after that. Buthe was able to get out there and getin front of me.”
As the series stays out west for atrip to Las Vegas Motor Speedway,Hamlin, Grubb and their Joe GibbsRacing team look to be the early-sea-son squad to beat — a surprising andscary notion considering they have allof two points-paying races together.
“We haven’t even gotten somethings in our racecars that Darianwants to put in them,” Hamlin said.“The chemistry and all is still so new— Darian is still learning the systemwithin JGR. There’s a lot of reasonswhy we’re going to be going for-ward even more in the next fewweeks. So to start out a year like thiswith a fresh new relationship withhim … it’s just a great feeling. Ican’t really put it into words.”

Las Vegas Motor SpeedwaySterling Marlin’s 2002 season began with
five consecutive top 10s, including the infa-mous Daytona 500 fender-pull, and two wins— the first of which came in the UAW-Daim-ler Chrysler 400 at Las Vegas Motor Speed-way on March 3.
Marlin qualified 24th but quickly workedhis No. 40 Coors Light Dodge near the front.Having recovered from a spin while leadingon lap 120, Marlin drove by Jeremy Mayfieldwith 16 laps remaining, holding him off aftera caution slowed the field with 13 laps to go.
Marlin held the points lead from Rocking-ham in February through Richmond in Sep-tember, but was sidelined with what Sterlingcalled “a broke neck” during the 29th race ofthe season at Kansas.
Jimmie Johnson, in his sixth career Cuprace, recorded the first top-10 run (sixth) ofhis career.

SPRINGFIELD — Anna’sLady Rockets are used to win-ning big. Few teams all seasonhave even challenged them.But two games into the
post-sectional tourney period,they are showing that theycan do what needs to be doneto win the close ones, too.On Saturday in the district
final, they led by just five withsix minutes to go beforepulling away to win by 18.On Wednesday in the Divi-
sion III Regional semifinals,they had their hands full witha physical Hamilton Badinteam that jumped to an 8-0lead at the start.But again, Anna broke
away from a tight game downthe stretch and claimed a 48-37 victory to go to 25-0.The defending D-III state
champs and this year’s top-ranked team, Anna will takeon area rival Miami East Sat-urday at 1:30 at Springfieldfor the right to advance to thestate tournament.Anna turned the ball over
five times on its first five pos-sessions, and had 10turnovers in the opening pe-riod.Badin led 8-0 before a Mor-
gan Huelskamp free throw fi-nally got Anna on the boardswith 1:50 left in the quarter.Erica Huber hit a three-
pointer and Anna got the lastfour points of the period tomake it 10-5 after one.Badin’s physical play didn’t
go unnoticed by the officials,and as a result, Anna shot alot of free throws. They didn’thit very well from the line, butthey attempted enough ofthem to keep the game close.They finally overtook
Badin at 12-10 on a bucket byNatalie Billing with 5:34 leftin the quarter, but Badineventually led 18-17 at thehalf.Anna freshman Cayla Bens-
man came up big in the secondquarter with seven points.“We actually felt pretty
good at the half because weweren’t getting much scoring,”said Anna coach Jack Billing.“And our two inside kids, Na-talie and Ashley (Frohne) tookonly three shots apiece. Butonce we settled down, we wereokay.”Anna led by four at 28-24
with 2:35 left in the thirdquarter, but the lead was onlytwo after three periods.Anna opened up a 35-30
lead in the final period, only tohave Badin connect on athree-pointer.But Bensman hit two free
throws when she grabbed anoffensive rebound, and scoredagain when Frohne found herall alone after a Badinturnover to make it 39-34.Bensman led Anna in scor-
ing with 15, Billing had 11and Frohne finished with 10.Huelskamp led on the boardswith seven.

PIQUA — True, it’sbeen a mild winter.Snowblowers and snowshovels have sat prettymuch unused in garagesall over the place, andcheck out your favoritedepartment store —bags of salt taking uplarge areas, despiteprices being slashed.But even though
there haven’t been manysnowy days, the weatherstill hasn’t exactly beenconducive to outdoorsports.That has forced base-
ball and softball playersto find someplace highand dry to keep theirskills honed during theoffseason, and some-times that’s not easy.But the Miami
County Flames, a selectteam which has four agedivisions that include alot of local and ShelbyCounty softball players,have found a friend inPeggy Henthorn, themanager of the MiamiValley Centre Mall inPiqua.Henthorn has opened
up the vast area thatused to be the Steve &Barry’s store in the mall,and the Flames havetaken full advantage,scheduling practicesevery day but Tuesdayall winter long.“We were going down
to Extra Innings (Troy)one night a week, butthe only thing you coulddo was hit off the pitch-ing machine,” said DougMeyer of Maplewood, acoach for the Flames.“And we paid for that.We’d had dealings withPeggy before. She wouldlet us use the conferencecenter at the mall formeetings. Steve &Barry’s was open and weasked if we’d be able touse it.”The space the area
provides enabled theFlames to really step uptheir offseason workouts.Meyer said there is actu-ally a full diamond setup, with room for an-other. And there arethree batting cages.“And with the low
ceiling, it teaches thegirls to throw BBs,”Meyer said.“We started the mid-
dle of November,” headded. “Most of the girlsin traveling leagues loveto play ball, so if theycan play in the winter,they will. We’ve hadgreat turnouts for all theteams. There are somedrawbacks, but thebiggest key is keepingthe rust off them. Other-
wise, they’re not pickingup a bat for a long time.”Henthorn’s daughter
was a softball player atLehman, so she said shehas “a special place inmy heart for softball.”She had some con-
cerns, not the least ofwhich was softballs hit-ting the sprinkler heads.But the Flames pur-chased some netting,and the coaches went inand set it up to preventthat from happening.“I think it’s gone very
well,” said Henthorn. “Iwas very hesitant ondoing it, only becauseyou’re talking about soft-balls in a vacant build-ing. The main purpose inmy job is to make sureeverything is safe. But Idid meet with theFlames and they as-sured me that every-thing would be okay, andonce they installed thenetting, it looked like itwould be. I trust theFlames and that’s why Ifelt okay about it.“It’s benefitted us,
too,” she added. “Thegirls have gone into themall to shop and into thefood court.”Naturally, it didn’t
take long for word to getaround. Henthorn saidshe got a call from some-one at Piqua HighSchool hoping someother girls could workout in the facility.And lately, the Flames
haven’t been the onlyones using the facility.Of course, if the mall
lands another anchorstore for the site, theteams will have to findanother place to come inout of the cold.But until that hap-
pens, the mall is reallyfilling a need.

What’s happened to the Gospel?Sometimes I
think I’m crazy.Because if I’mnot, others are.What has hap-pened to theGospel?I was turning
channels theother night andsaw how many“Christian” cablechannels therewere. I listenedand thenchanged chan-nels and I heard a lot ofthings but I didn’t hearthe Gospel of Christ.I heard the gospel of
greed. The gospel ofhealth.The gospel of hap-piness. But I honestlydidn’t hear the true mes-sage of Jesus.People were boasting
about the stuff they’veacquired. How lives arelived differently and howserving the poor is thegospel. Saw a lot of hypedup emotional songs, andmen and women yellingsome “new revelation”
straight fromGod. I heard alot of words andno message thateven remotelyresembled whatthe scripturesteach.What’s hap-
pened to theGospel? As I fin-ish up preachingthrough 2 Timo-thy at ourchurch the an-swer is pretty
clear. It says in 2Tim. 4:1-5 “I solemnly charge youin the presence of Godand of Christ Jesus whois to judge the living andthe dead and by His ap-pearing and His King-dom preach theWord. Beready in season and outof season. Reprove, re-buke, exhort with greatpatience and instructionfor the time will comewhen they will not en-dure sound doctrine butwanting to have theirears tickled they will ac-cumulate for themselves
teachers in accordance totheir own desires andwill turn away their earsfrom the truth and willturn aside to myths. Butyou, be sober in allthings, endure hardship,do the work of an evan-gelist, fulfill your min-istry.”Well. That explains it.
You see the letters writ-ten to pastor Timothy bythe apostle Paul are themost well explainedwords to describe thetrue nature of realchurch ministry.Read those two letters
sometime.We seem to bein some bizarre “market-driven, positive-affirma-tion, gospel-promotingculture” that is drivingme nuts.Some of the things I
hear that is passing forthe gospel are absolutelyincompatible with theBible. Bad theology hasrepercussions.Paul is tellingTimothy
to be faithful in breach-ing, and be bold in expos-
ing and refuting error,and to be an example ofgodliness to his church,and be willing to sufferhardship and persecutionfor the sake of Jesus.That really applies to allof us.Think about it. Pas-
tors who live lives andgodly examples in theirdaily lives for their con-gregations to follow. (I’mnot even going to touchthat one right now). Ex-posing error in thechurch. Even CharlesSpurgeon got oustedfrom his church for doingthat. Be willing to sufferpersecution. One of myfavorite theologians says,“It’s your best life now …if you’re going to hell.”How true. This place isnot our home. Don’t gettoo comfortable here.Heaven is the promise.No sickness, no sorrowand no sin.I worry about how
preaching is diminishedand the most fragile ofsheep get hurt by our un-
willingness to just be-lieve what God has saidand preach what God hasproclaimed.Pastor Greg Gilbert
wrote a book called“What is the Gospel?”and he listed four thingsthat are repeated whenthe Gospel is preached: 1.Who made us and towhom are we account-able? 2.What is our prob-lem? In other words, arewe in trouble and why? 3.What is God’s solution tothat problem? How hasHe acted to save us fromit? 4. How do I — myself,right here, right now —how do I come to be in-cluded in that salvation?What makes this goodnews for me and not justfor someone else? TheGospel is good news.Jesus came to save usfrom our sin and restoreus to right relationshipwith the One who cre-ated and cares for us.
The writer is the pas-tor at Cornerstone Assem-bly of God in Sidney.

Though most stu-dents plan to kick backand relax as soon asclasses end for the sum-mer, several AshlandUniversity students willdedicate the first fewweeks of their vacationto helping those less for-tunate than themselves.Junior Heather Bum-
balough, of West Liberty,is among the AshlandUniversity students whowill participate in thePanamamission trip thissummer. The trip is in-tended not only to helpimprove the lives of thosewho live in Panama, butalso to allow volunteersto grow spiritually.Bumbalough, who is
majoring in dietetics, isthe daughter of Lee andKathryn Bumbalough, ofWest Liberty.The Panama mission
trip, which will takeplace between May 12-26, is one of the trips of-fered by the University’sIsaiah Project this year.The name and missionstatement of the IsaiahProject’s come from theBible verse found in Isa-iah 6:8, “Then I heardthe voice of the Lord say-ing, ‘Whom shall I send?And who will go for us?’
And I said, ‘Here I am,send me!’”Dr. Dan Lawson, dean
of religious life, will ac-company the students onthe trip, and sophomoreTyler Franz, of Fletcher,will serve as the teamleader.The goals for this trip
are to bring Christ topeople of Panama andalso for the students andfaculty to become closerto Christ through the ex-perience. Teammemberswill be working with asports ministry, an out-reach to the indigenouspeople in Panama, a chil-dren’s ministry, and aschool feeding programfor the poor.The members of
Franz’s team seek tohelp others to learnabout the gospel of whoJesus Christ is, andwhat He has done forthem. According toFranz, this trip will pres-ent his team with an op-portunity to help otherslearn and grow in theirrelationship with God sothat they might knowHim more.“This will be my first
mission trip and the firsttime out of the country,”said Bumbalough. “Most
importantly, I want to doGod’s work by servingpeople in need andspreading the hopefound in Jesus Christ. Ialso feel like this trip isgoing to put me out ofmy comfort zone, and I’mexcited to overcome thechallenges it brings. It’sgoing to be a life-chang-ing experience, where Igrow in my relationshipswith others and grow ona personal level.”“This experience will
open our eyes to viewthings outside of Amer-ica and its culture,”Franz explained, “and itwill help us develop anawareness of the worldat hand and its need forits savior, Christ Jesus.”Ashland University
(www.ashland.edu) is amid-sized, private uni-versity conveniently lo-cated a short distancefrom Akron, Clevelandand Columbus. AshlandUniversity values the in-dividual student and of-fers a unique educationalexperience that com-bines the challenge ofstrong, applied academicprograms with a facultyand staff who build nur-turing relationships withtheir students.

Thursday, March 8, 2012If need be, don’t hesitate in the nextyear to dissolve a partnership that isgoing nowhere in lieu of a new en-deavor that allows you to act inde-pendently. If it comes down to it, it’llbe the smart thing to do.PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — Whenyou’re permitted to establish your ownagenda, you’ll function at your best. Itbehooves you to steer clear of anyonewho always makes demands on yourtime.ARIES (March 21-April 19) — Adopt-ing a negative attitude will only makedisruptive matters worse than they al-ready are. If you think everything isgoing against you, solutions won’t bepossible.TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Get-ting involved in petty politics withsomeone who is adroit in that kind ofgame- playing is not a wise thing todo. He or she will do his or her best tomake you look bad, and is likely tosucceed.GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — What-ever you do, don’t let your ego or tem-per cause you to challenge someonewho could have an influence over yourwork or career. It might be one matchyou can’t win.CANCER (June 21-July 22) — Get-ting in the last word shouldn’t be im-portant to you if it results in thepossibility of jeopardizing a valuedfriendship. It would turn out to be awin that would mean a big loss.LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Be on guardso that someone in trouble doesn’t ma-neuver you into a position where youwould be held accountable for his orher mistake or debt. Know when to bequiet and walk away.VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — If you ig-nore your own counsel and do some-thing that goes against your betterjudgment, you could end up payingdearly for the consequences of thisfolly. Stay sharp and be cool.LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — It’s notthat you won’t have adequate driveand ambition to handle everyday mat-ters, it’s more likely that you will betempted to take on something that ex-ceeds your limitations. Be honestabout your abilities.SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — It won’tadd any luster to your image if you de-liberately do things that buck the willof the majority, just to prove your in-dependence. All it will do is make youlook like a selfish jackanapes.SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) —Limit the discussion of family prob-lems to the participants only. If youtalk to others about private matters,you’ll be inviting them to butt in andintroduce added dissension.CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) —Gauge your audience well so that youdon’t inadvertently introduce a topicabout which you feel strongly to some-one who holds an equally strong op-posing opinion.AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — If youleave something you value lying aboutin plain sight, it’s likely to temptsomeone with sticky fingers. Be morecareful with your prize possessions.COPYRIGHT 2012 United FeatureSyndicate, Inc.

Medicines used for COPD
Meaning of misspellings remains curiously obscure
DEAR DR.D O N O H U E :You mentionedthat there aremedicines tohelp those withCOPD. Wouldyou please namethem? — E.K.
A N S W E R :COPD, chronicobstructive pul-monary disease,includes twocommon lung ill-nesses: emphy-sema and chronicbronchitis. Both almostalways occur with eachother.The number of medi-
cines used to improveCOPD and to improvethe breathing of COPDpatients is large. Howabout if I give you theclasses of medicinesused and a few exam-ples from each class? If I
included allnames, it wouldtake up a hugeamount of costlyn e w s p a p e rspace.Bronchodila-
tors are medi-cines thatexpand breath-ing tubes thathave becomeclogged withthick mucus. Onekind of bron-chodilators is the
anticholinergics (AN-tee-COAL-in-URGE-ik)drugs. Atrovent (iprat-ropium) and Spiriva(tiotropium) are twosuch drugs. They areboth inhaled.Beta agonists are an-
other class of bron-chodilators. They workin a different way fromthe above two drugs. Anexample is Serevent
Diskus (salmeterol).Steroids, relatives of
cortisone, calm inflamedairways. They, too, makeit easier for air, with itsoxygen, to reach thelungs and then thebloodstream. FloventDiskus (fluticasone) issuch a drug.Oxygen isn’t really a
medicine, but it is animportant treatment forthose with severeCOPD.Conditioning exer-
cises are another impor-tant aspect of COPDtreatment. Many hospi-tals sponsor such pro-grams for their patients.An annual influenza
(flu) vaccine is a mustfor COPD patients.
DEAR DR. DONO-HUE: I have a son, 47,who is very reluctant tosee a dentist. He wastold several years ago
that he had the begin-ning of some cavities.He recently went to adental school and hadhis teeth cleaned and X-rayed. He says theywere supposed to callhim, but he never got acall. He comes up withmany reasons why hedrags his feet about this.One is that he is toobusy. Another is that itcosts too much. Pleasecomment. — S.B.
ANSWER: All healthauthorities recommenddental visits spaced sixmonths apart. Dentalhealth has a profoundimpact on total bodyhealth. He must call tofind the results of his X-rays. It’s plain dumb tohave them done and notfind out if anythingneeds attention. Hecan’t be too busy tomake a phone call.
DEAR ABBY: I’mwriting to respondto the letter fromthe mother of the12-year-old boywhose grandmothercan’t spell his nameright. (“His Name IsJoe!”; Jan. 4). Thesame thing hap-pened to my hus-band. Hisgrandmother spellshis name with a Cinstead of a K. Ihave always put K onour cards and letters toher, but I think at herage she’s stuck in herhabit.Once she sent my
husband a beautiful sil-ver money clip for whichshe had spent severalhundred dollars. Shehad it engraved with thewrong initials — includ-ing the C. She’s such asweet, lovely womanthat, at that point, I in-
sisted henever makereference tothe correctspelling of hisname again.E n g r a v e ditems canrarely be re-turned, and Iknew howhurt she’d beknowing shehad spelledhis name
wrong.He called and
thanked her profuselyfor such a generous gift,and we’ve never broughtup the matter since. —ANNE IN TEXAS
DEAR ANNE: Thankyou for writing. Iguessed that the grand-mother might not havebeen pleased with thename the boy had beengiven. Other readersalso had hunches about
why the grandmotherwould continue to mis-spell it. Their comments:
DEAR ABBY: I sus-pect that Grandma does-n’t like that particularspelling of the child’sname.These days peoplehave come up with un-usual spellings for com-mon names.Instead of Rebecca,
you have Rebekka. ForAshley, you have Ashlee,Ashleigh and Ashli.Karen can now be Carynor Caren. This makes itespecially difficult foranyone with an unusu-ally spelled name. Youcan bet that no one willget it right. So I imaginethis is Grandma’s way ofexpressing her disap-proval of the spelling ofthe child’s name. —ONLY THE SPELLINGHAS BEEN CHANGED
DEAR ABBY: Mysweet grandmother mis-
spelled my name everytime she wrote to us. Shehad only a third-gradeeducation, lived in ahome with no electricity,raised four girls aloneafter her husband diedand continued to main-tain the family farm.She wrote with a pen-
cil that was sharpenedwith a knife and spelledmy name — Karen —the way it sounded toher, “Kron.” I was neverinsulted. I alwayslaughed about the factthat it looked as if myname were that of a caveperson.Of course, I knew she
loved me uncondition-ally. Maybe that is why“HNIJ” seems to have aproblem with her son’sgrandmother. Could it beshe feels Grandma does-n’t show enough love tothe boy? — CAVEWOMAN KRON
