Paula and Zach Hill, of Sid-ney, are not people who ap-proach a challenge withtrepidation.Neither do they wade in in

hip boots where angels fear totread. They do their home-work and they tackle obsta-cles with their eyes wide open.That’s why their new venture,

Rolling Hills, is likely to be abig success.Rolling Hills is the new

name of the roller skatingrink they are refurbishing onRussell Road in Sidney andplan to open in mid-February.The pair have already joinedthe Sidney-Shelby CountyChamber of Commerce, whichis pleased to see activity pro-jected for the shuttered build-ing.“We’re thrilled with Zach

and Paula’s efforts to reopenthe skate club,” said JeffRaible, Chamber president.“From what we understand,Rolling Hills Skate will offer asafe and wholesome environ-ment for kids and families toget together for recreationand fun. I’m sure many areagrandmas and grandpas willhave a good time there, too, asspectators, if not skaters.”The venture grew out of the

Hills’ desire to own a busi-

ness, especially one thatcatered to youngsters, as wellas families.“We really wanted to own

our own business,” Paula, 31,said Tuesday. “When wemoved back to Sidney, we sawthis was closed. We re-searched for two years how torun a skating rink.”The couple approached the

owners of Sam’s Skating Club,which had ceased operation in

During the meeting,York told Meininger andSell. “The projected rev-enue figure for this yearcompared to previousyears is inflated by morethan $1.5 million be-cause the former roadand bridge sales taxfunds must now bepassed through the GFbefore being allocated tothe targeted accounts.“This pass-through is

a technicality due to themanner of renewing the0.50 percent sales tax.Atthe time of the resolu-tion for continuing thetax, commissionerspledged to divide thefund equally betweenthe Engineer for roadsand bridges and the cap-ital improvement fundfor county building (and)equipment replacementand repair. The new splitin this tax will be effec-tive with sales tax fundsreceived in July of 2013.Also, for 2013, revenues

from the state of Ohio forlocal government fundsand taxable personalproperty reimbursementare projected to yield$592,000 less than in2012. This loss is ex-pected to be partiallymade up by increasedrevenue of about$430,000 from the casinotax.”York noted that other

revenues are projectedto be “basically consis-tent with recent yearswith the exception ofsales tax, which is ex-pected to increase by ap-proximately 8 percent inan improving economy.”“GF numbers should

be considered more real-istic than conservative.There is not much wig-gle room,” York warned.“If the economy sputters,the state makes furthercuts or some other un-foreseen negativechange happens, theBudget Commission

could have to revisit theprojections as eventsevolve in 2013. Thiscould force (the ShelbyCounty) Commissionersto re-open the budgetand potentially intro-duce mid-year correc-tions.”The total of all rev-

enues certified to thecounty commissionersfor appropriation was$70,636,227.72. Thatamount “includes fundsearmarked for many de-partments and agenciesand is not available forexpenditure for generalcounty operations,” Yorkemphasized.During the meeting,

the commission held itsreorganization for 2013.York noted that accord-ing to the Ohio RevisedCode, he is automati-cally named secretary.Meininger will serve aschairwoman and Sellwas named vice chair-man.

Beyonce, Clarkson to perform at inaugurationWASHINGTON (AP)

— President BarackObama can expect somesweet serenades at his in-auguration ceremony,with hit-makers Beyonce,Kelly Clarkson andJames Taylor on tap toperform some of the coun-try’s most patriotic songs.

From Hollywood toMusic Row, celebritieshave been a staple ofObama’s candidacy andpresidency, so it was withlittle surprise that someof the biggest names in

entertainment are help-ing him celebrate his Jan.21 swearing-in.

Planners saidWednes-day that Obama pickedBeyonce to sing the na-tional anthem, Clarksonto perform “My Country‘Tis ofThee” andTaylor tosing “America the Beauti-ful.”

Beyonce and Taylorhave been devotedObama supporters. Bey-once sang the Etta Jamesclassic “At Last” for thepresident and first lady’s

dance at the inauguralballs four years ago andhosted a $4 millionfundraiser for his re-elec-tion. Taylor sang at theWhite House in Obama’sfirst term and at theDemocratic NationalConvention last summer.

Clarkson, however,once said she was a fan ofRepublican presidentialcandidate Ron Paul forthe 2012 race, althoughshe said she votedObamain 2008. She said onTwit-terWednesday that she is

“excited & honored” to beperforming at the inaugu-ral.

Richard Blanco, theson of Cuban exiles, isthe 2013 inaugural poet,joining a select groupthat includes Maya An-gelou and the late RobertFrost. Blanco’s works ex-plore his family’s exilefrom Cuba and “the in-tersection of his culturalidentities as a Cuban-American gay man,” in-auguration plannersannounced.

BY MARK KENNEDYThe Associated Press

NEW YORK (AP) —Maggie Grace had a scarymoment during a recentmatinee of “Picnic” onBroadway.

William Inge’s scriptcalls for astruggleat the endof the playbetweenG r a c e ’ scharacterand heron s t a g emo t h e r,played byM a r eWinningham. The prob-lem on this day was thatGrace heard a crack dur-ing the clash.

After the curtain call,Grace couldn’t containher worry. She put herarm aroundWinninghamand was seen urgentlywhispering with her co-star as the two disap-peared into the wings.

“I was worried abouther wrist,” Grace saysabout 20 minutes later inher dressing room at theAmerican Airlines The-atre, her makeup andcostume still on. “Shesaid she’s OK but I was amess backstage. I was soworried that I’d brokenMare.”

It was an episode thatseems to perfectly captureGrace, the rising, self-made actress who hasstarred on TV in “Lost”and “Californication,” asLiam Neeson’s daughterin the “Taken”movies andin “The Twilight Saga:Breaking Dawn” films:She simply doesn’t knowher own strength.

Grace, 29, is by far thisseason’s most unlikelyBroadway debutante. Anall-American beauty wholoved community theater,she left high school out-side Columbus, Ohio, atage 16 and moved to Hol-

lywood to pursue a careeras an actress.

“Statistically, I thinkyou probably have a bet-ter chance of being killedby lightning,” she says,laughing. “But I had avery real mandate everymonth: making rent.”

She arrived in Los An-geles knowing no one andwith just a back-to-schoolcatalog on her thin re-sume. By her secondweek, she had an agentand was auditioning.

Commercials and tinyroles in TV shows piledup, “CSI: Miami” and“Law & Order: SVU”among them. “I was theprofessional rape victim,”she says. “Fill in the pro-cedural drama, I did it.”

Years of toil as a work-ing actress and a gypsylife— nomore than threemonths in one place sinceshe was 16 — led to herbig break as the snobbyShannon on the first twoseasons of “Lost.” Thencame on-screen vampiresand kidnappings thatpaid her mortgage andnow her professionalstage debut on Broadway,a long hoped-for dreamcome true.

“I wrote it on my NewYear’s list every year,”says Grace. “I definitelywanted to come back tothe stage. It’s kind of howI fell in love with thiswhole crazy world ofplaying pretend for a liv-ing.”

Sam Gold, who directsGrace in “Picnic,” hadn’tmet her before sheshowed up at an audition.He was blown away.“Though she looks like aningenue, she brings a lotof strength and a sort ofunique energy, passionand strength to her act-ing,” he says.

In “Picnic,”Grace playsa daughter coming of agein a small Kansas town in1953. She’s destined tomarry the well-regarded

boy next door when asexy male stranger ar-rives and throws every-one’s plans out thewindow.

Grace grew up withthe 1955 film starringKim Novak, even thoughher parents wouldn’t lether see it until she wasolder: “It was too racy …”

Now she shares thestage with an interestingcast, including EllenBurstyn, Elizabeth Mar-vel, Reed Birney and Se-bastian Stan.Grace playsa headturning blonde,but hopes it’s more thanthat.

“It’s an ingenue but Ithink there’s a little roomfor interpretation,” saysGrace.The same could besaid for her, a long-limbedbeauty who turns out tobe extremely thoughtful,hardworking andgrounded.

She describes “Picnic”as “about the tension be-tween individual impulseand the needs of thegroup and social conven-tion.” Of the playwright,she says: “Inge was nevera master at innovation.He was a master of con-vention.”

Grace fluidly usesterms like “negativespace” and “symbiosis,”and follows up a meetingwith an email filled withinsights into the workand its relevance, ex-plaining that “in betweenshows my ability to con-jugate verbs takes asharp dip.”

“I used to be really in-secure aboutmy self-edu-cation,” she says. “I’mdefinitely always learn-ing. But there’s manyways to learn. There aremany, many ways to al-ways be a learner.”

Wendy’s testinga ‘pretzel burger’NEW YORK (AP) —

In its latest push to es-tablish itself as a pur-veyor of premiumburgers, Wendy’s is test-ing a pretzel bun.

The Dublin, Ohio-based chain has startedselling a bacon cheese-burger in select locationsmade with a slightlyheartier, pretzel like bun.A spokesman forWendy’s declined to con-firm the tests or provideany details, such as itsprice or where it’s beingsold. But the “PretzelBacon Cheeseburger”was being advertised asa limited-time offer at aWendy’s in Miami withothers posting picturesand talking about it onthe social media siteTwitter.

Wendy’s executiveshave already said theyplan to use better breadsin the year ahead as arelatively low-cost way toraise perceptions aboutthe quality of its food.The reliance on bread

comes amid rising costsfor beef, which have pres-sured restaurant chainsthat are struggling tokeep prices down to holdonto price-conscious din-ers. SoWendy’s is hopingdistinct breads can helpjustify premium pricesfor some burgers.

The focus on bread ispart of Wendy’s ongoingpush to position itself onthe higher end of thefast-food pecking orderin terms of quality. Assuch, the chain is alsoworking to revamp itsrestaurants with a mod-ern look with causalseating areas more remi-niscent of fast-casualchains such as PaneraBread Co.(NASDAQ:PNRA)

Saul Sanchez, a 20 -year-old student, said hetried the pretzel baconburger after seeing it ad-vertised when he walkedinto a Wendy’s in CoralSprings, Fla. He said itwas better than he ex-pected, with the roll

being a little heartierthan the typical Wendy’shamburger buns but stillsoft. Even though thebeef patty seemed no dif-ferent, he said the “pret-zel roll made it a lotcooler.”

“It’s like somethingyou’d see at an actualburger place, not a fastfood restaurant,” he said.

Wendy’s executivesdiscussed the possibilityof the pretzel bun at aninvestor conference thissummer, albeit on a “PubClub Sandwich.” GerardLewis, who heads inno-vation at the chain, saidduring the conferencethat the goal was to pro-vide “five star qualitybreads at three-star pric-ing.” He noted thatWendy’s has own its ownbakery, giving it moreflexibility to make differ-ent kinds of bread.

Shelly Thobe, wholeads hamburgers atWendy’s, said during thesame presentation thatbreads and buns are im-

portant visual cues forcustomers who tend to“eat with their eyes.” Shesaid that the pretzel bunwould let Wendy’s offersomething other chainsdon’t have.

As another example ofits work in bread, Lewisoutlined the company’splans to use flatbreadswith chicken.

“Grilled chicken on ahamburger bun is yester-day’s news,” he said.“We’re going to exploreflatbread as the carrierfor grilled chicken.”

Even as Wendy’spushes to reinvent itself,however, the valuemenus remain a staplefor the chain and thebroader fast-food indus-try. But in a nod to risingcosts for ingredients,Wendy’s recently didaway with the “99-cent”menu in favor of a valuemenu called “Right SizeRight Price” to give itmore flexibility in offer-ing foods at prices up to$2.

Statue was abear to stealPORTLAND,Ore. (AP)—

A bear that weighs morethan 200 pounds is missing,and it’s not in hibernation.The sheriff's office in

Washington County, Ore.,says the wooden statue of abearwas stolen fromahomeinPortlandduring theweek-end.The homeowner bought

the 5-foot-tall statue in 1996for $1,700 and had it dis-played in the front yard formany years.Sheriff's Sgt. Bob Ray

says the theft occurred in theovernight hours, and itwould have taken at leasttwo people to carry away thebear.Investigators are confi-

dent the public will helpthem quickly solve thecrime. Authorities have yetto receive any tips, but Raysays “you can’t hide thatbear.”

NEW YORK (AP) — No one waselected to the Hall of Fame this year.When voters closed the doors to BarryBonds, Roger Clemens and Sammy Sosa,they also shut out everybody else.For only the second time in four

decades, baseball writers failed to giveany player the 75 percent required forinduction to Cooperstown, sending apowerful signal that stars of theSteroids Era will be held to a differentstandard.All the awards and accomplishments

collected over long careers by Bonds,Clemens and Sosa could not offset suspi-cions those feats were boosted by per-formance-enhancing drugs.Voters also denied entry Wednesday

to fellow newcomers Craig Biggio, MikePiazza and Curt Schilling, along withholdovers Jack Morris, Jeff Bagwell andLee Smith.Among the most honored players of

their generation, these standouts won’tfind their images among the 300 bronzeplaques on the oak walls in Cooper-stown, where — at least for now — thedoors appear to be bolted shut on anyonetainted by PEDs.“After what has been written and said

over the last few years I’m not overlysurprised,” Clemens said in a statementhe posted on Twitter.Bonds, Clemens and Sosa retired after

the 2007 season. They were eligible forthe Hall for the first time and have up to14 more years on the writers’ ballot.“Curt Schilling made a good point,

everyone was guilty. Either you usedPEDs, or you did nothing to stop theiruse,” Hall of Famer Mike Schmidt said inan email to The Associated Press afterthis year’s vote was announced. “Thisgeneration got rich. Seems there was aprice to pay.”Biggio, 20th on the career list with

3,060 hits, appeared on 68.2 percent ofthe 569 ballots, the highest total but 39votes shy. The three newcomers with thehighest profiles failed to come close toeven majority support, with Clemens at37.6 percent, Bonds at 36.2 and Sosa at12.5.Other top vote-getters were Morris

(67.7), Jeff Bagwell (59.6), Piazza (57.8),Tim Raines (52.2), Lee Smith (47.8) andSchilling (38.8).“I’m kind of glad that nobody got in

this year,” Hall of Famer Al Kaline said.“I feel honored to be in the Hall of Fame.

And I would’ve felt a little uneasy sittingup there on the stage, listening to someof these new guys talk about how greatthey were. … I don’t know how greatsome of these players up for electionwould’ve been without drugs. But to me,it’s cheating.”At ceremonies in Cooperstown on July

28, the only inductees will be three menwho died more than 70 years ago: Yan-kees owner Jacob Ruppert, umpire HankO’Day and barehanded catcher DeaconWhite. They were chosen last month bythe 16-member panel considering indi-viduals from the era before integrationin 1947.“It is a dark day,” said Jose Canseco,

the former AL MVP who was among thefirst players to admit using steroids. “Ithink the players should organize sometype of lawsuit against major leaguebaseball or the writers. It’s ridiculous.Most of these players really have no evi-dence against them.They’ve never testedpositive or they’ve cleared themselveslike Roger Clemens.”It was the eighth time the BBWAA

failed to elect any players. There werefour fewer votes than last year and fivemembers submitted blank ballots.

No BB Hall for Bonds, Clemens

Shufflingin the

CabinetWASHINGTON (AP)—The

composition of PresidentBarack Obama’s second termCabinet became clearerWednesday, with Labor Secre-tary Hilda Solis resigning andthree other members of thepresident’s team deciding tostay on amid concerns about di-versity in Obama’s inner circle.Solis, a former California

congresswoman and one of thehighest-ranking Hispanics inthe Cabinet, said she was de-parting after leading the de-partment during the economicstorms of the first term. Shewas the nation’s first Hispaniclabor secretary.A White House official said

three Cabinet members — At-torney General Eric Holder,Health and Human ServicesSecretary Kathleen Sebeliusand Veterans Affairs SecretaryEric Shinseki — would stay onas the second term begins. Itwould ensure diversity amongthe president’s leadership team—Holder is black, Sebelius is awoman and Shinseki is ofJapanese-American descent.The official, who spoke on

condition of anonymity to dis-cuss personnel changes, saidthe three remaining officialswere not an exhaustive list ofwhich Cabinet members in-tended to stay.Some Democratic women

have raised concerns that the“big three” jobs in the Cabinet—State,Defense andTreasury— will be taken by white men.Democratic Sen. John Kerry ofMassachusetts has beentapped as the next secretary ofstate; former Nebraska Sen.Chuck Hagel, a Republican,was picked to run the Pentagonand White House chief of staffJack Lew is expected to benamed treasury secretary laterthis week.TheWhiteHouse is expected

to announce more members ofObama’s Cabinet in the comingweeks, giving the president achance to present a team thatreflects the diverse coalition ofwomen, Hispanics and minori-ties that helped give him a sec-ond term.Susan Rice, the U.S. ambas-

sador to the United Nationsand a close friend of the presi-dent, removed her name fromconsideration for the State De-partment last month followingcriticism fromRepublicans overher initial comments about theattacks onAmericans in Libya.Several female House Democ-rats said the criticism of Rice,who is black, was indicative ofsexism and racism.EPA Administrator Lisa

Jackson said last month she isstepping down after nearly fouryears as the administration’schief environmental watchdog.No replacement has beennamed, although severalnames are reportedly underconsideration, including Wash-ington Gov. Chris Gregoire andJackson’s deputy, Bob Perci-asepe.

day at the Sheraton hotel in several vans es-corted by Syrian security forces. Lookingdisheveled but healthy, they were greeted byIran’s ambassador in Damascus, Mohammad

Riza Shibani, and several Iranian clerics whodistributed a white flower to each of the men,some of whom broke down in tears.“The conditions placed (by the captives)

were difficult, but with much work … we suc-ceeded in securing this release,” Shibani toldreporters. “I hope such tragedies will not be re-peated.”He said their release was a result of elabo-

rate and “tough” negotiations, but did not elab-orate. The Syrian government, which rarelygives details on security-related matters, hadno official comment and it was not clear whatprompted the exchange.Rebels claimed the captives were linked to

Iran’s powerful Revolutionary Guard, butTehran has denied that, saying the men werepilgrims visiting Shiite religious sites in Syria.But U.S. State Department spokeswoman

Victoria Nuland described most of the Irani-ans as “members of the Iranian RevolutionaryGuard,” calling it “just another example of howIran continues to provide guidance, expertise,personnel, technical capabilities to the Syrianregime.”

Tax code longer than BibleWASHINGTON (AP)—Too

intimidated to fill out your taxreturn without help? Join theclub.At nearly 4 million words,

the U.S. tax law is so thick andcomplicated that businessesand individuals spend morethan 6 billion hours a yearcomplying with filing require-ments, according to a reportWednesday by an independentgovernment watchdog.That’s the equivalent of 3

million people working full-time, year-round.“If tax compliance were an

industry, it would be one of thelargest in the United States,”says the report by Nina E.Olson, the National TaxpayerAdvocate.The days of most taxpayers

sitting down with a pencil anda calculator to figure out theirtaxes are long gone, Olson

said. Since 2001, Congress hasmade almost 5,000 changes toU.S. tax law.That’s an averageof more than one a day.As a result, almost 60 per-

cent of filers will pay someoneto prepare their tax returnsthis spring. An additional 30percent will use commercialsoftware. Without the help,Olson says, most taxpayerswould be lost.“On the one hand, taxpay-

ers who honestly seek to com-ply with the law often makeinadvertent errors, causingthem to either overpay theirtax or become subject to IRSenforcement action for mis-taken underpayments,” Olsonsaid. “On the other hand, so-phisticated taxpayers oftenfind loopholes that enablethem to reduce or eliminatetheir tax liabilities.”Olson ranks complexity as

the most serious tax problemfacing taxpayers and the In-ternal Revenue Service in herannual report to Congress.She urges lawmakers to over-haul the nation’s tax laws,making them simpler, clearerand easier to comply with.Momentum is building in

Congress to overhaul the taxcode for the first time since1986. But Washington’s di-vided government has yet toshow it can successfully tacklesuch a task.President Barack Obama

and Republican leaders inCongress say they are on-board, though they haverarely seen eye to eye on taxpolicy.They struggled mightilyjust to avoid the year-end fis-cal cliff, passing a bill thatmakes relatively smallchanges in the nation’s taxlaws.

His mother thinks I can help himDR. WAL-

LACE: I’m al-most 20 andhave, for thepast year, beendating a superguy who is 21.He treats melike a queenand keeps say-ing he wants tomarry me. Iwould havesaid yesmonths ago, buthe has a drinking prob-lem and doesn’t seem torealize it. He has beenarrested twice in thepast year for drivingunder the influence. Thelast time he had to spend10 days in jail and hadhis driver’s license sus-pended. Unfortunately,he continues to driveand, of course, has hisshare of alcohol.My family is terribly

upset that I’m datingthis guy. My mom keepstelling me never to ridewith him, even if he onlyhad one drink. So far, Ihaven’t taken Mom’s ad-vice. His parents like meand keep telling me thatI’m a good influence ontheir son, and they be-lieve that, in time, he willstop drinking.My ownmother wants

me to stop seeingthis guy, but hismother is en-couraging me tostay with him soI can help him.What’s your ad-vice? — Name-less, Tupelo,Miss.

NAMELESS:The only motheryou need to listento is your own.The only person

who can help him stopdrinking is himself. Youhave been “encouraging”him to stop consumingalcohol in the year youhave been dating him.What makes you thinkthings will change later?When you tell him

farewell, make sure yougive him the telephonenumber of the nearestAlcoholics Anonymousgroup. Tell him to callyou after he has enrolledand is no longer drink-ing.

DR. WALLACE: I’m16, a good student, andbasically a fine younglady. Bret is myboyfriend, and we’vebeen together for threemonths. We met atchurch, and we both feelthat we’re made for eachother. I like Bret very

much. My life is muchhappier and brightersince we met, but I’ve gota weird situation athome. I am allowed tohave a boyfriend, and wecan be together at myhouse, but we are not al-lowed to go on a date!Bret is 17 and has hisown car, but I’m not al-lowed to ride in it underany circumstances. I’vetried to get my parents tobe reasonable and allowus to go out for a bite toeat.The answer is yes, aslong as my parents tagalong. When you were ateen, would you enjoyhaving your parents ac-company you and yourgirlfriend for a snack at arestaurant? I seriouslydoubt it. I realize thatwhat you say is not goingto change my parents’minds if you agree withme, but I would enjoyhearing what you thinkof my weird situation. —Nameless, Tulsa, Okla.

NAMELESS: I’m onyour side. A 16-year-oldwho is a good studentand trustworthy daugh-ter, who is permitted tohave a boyfriend, shouldbe allowed to spend timewith him occasionallywithout parental super-vision.

Dear Read-ers: The conven-ience of adishwasher isu n d e n i a b l e .However, load-ing the dish-washer isalways a topic ofdebate!Here aresome hints fromthemanufactur-ers about thecorrect way to doit:• If you are not run-

ning the dishwasher rightaway, be sure to pre-rinse.• Load plates and bowlswith the serving surfacefacing the water spray.•Be carefulwhen plac-

ing long-handled utensilsin the dishwasher— theycan catch in the dish-washer swing arm andprevent dishes from get-ting clean.• Forks and spoons

should be alternated right

side up and up-side down to pre-vent nesting.• Do not place

glasses or mugson the tines.Place them be-tween the tines,according tomostmanuals! Yes, Iknow most of usplace them overthe tines!• Flat pans

and cookie sheets

should be placed aroundthe sides of the bottomrack so they don’t blockthe water spray.Read your dish-

washer’smanual, or checkonline, to learn the bestway to use your machine.If you’re not sure aboutputting something(wooden bowls,wood-han-dled knives or crystal) inthe dishwasher, thenwash it by hand. —Heloise

2008, and, although itwas not listed for sale,they reached an agree-ment for purchase andpapers were signed Aug.31.“We started working

on the building on Sept.1,” Paula said. It neededa lot of work.With no cli-mate control there forthree years, the woodfloor had badly buckled,lighting didn’t work well,spider webs were every-where, and “the smellwas awful,” Paula said.“Some of the ripples in

the floor were a foothigh,” Zach, 29, said. “Itwas so tight to the walls,that with no humidityand climate control, ithad nowhere to go butup.”Bringing the rink

back to life has been afamily affair. Paula’sbrother, Craig North, ofSidney, has helped themevery day to repair thefloor, repaint all thewalls, install new toilets,build new concessioncounters, and repair elec-trical systems. Zach’s fa-ther, Ken Hill, ofWilliamsburg, Ky., hasmade trips to Sidney tohelp as he can andPaula’s mother, KarenAdkins, of Sidney, hasbegun to clean skates.“When we first saw

the place, we said, ‘Ifwe’re going to do this, it’sgoing to be a big under-taking,’” Paula, a SidneyHigh School grad with aparalegal degree said.They joined a roller rinkowners association, wentto trade shows and foundmentors among experi-enced operators. Theyasked questions, lots ofquestions. They scouredthe Internet for informa-tion.“We had to let the

floor dry out,” Zach, aFairlawn High Schoolgraduate said. “Thewood’s moisture contentwas supposed to be 8percent. It was 17 per-cent. It took until Janu-ary to dry.” He has cutaway the floor at thewalls by two board-widths, to allow it to flat-ten.While they waited for

the floor to dry, theypainted walls. North,who owns North’s Paint-ing, and the Hills used100 gallons of Kilz tocover the existing orangecolor. They hired a mu-ralist with Cameo De-signs to create a muralalong one wall thatmatches the neon-bright

carpet they plan to lay inthe concession area.Black lights will makethe colors pop as skatersspin around the floor.When they purchased

the building, they alsopurchased the 480 pairsof skates that were leftby the former owners.All960 skates need to becleaned, sanitized, andfitted with new laces andinsoles.“Four people worked

two hours last week andwe got 12 skates done,”Paula said. Adkins nowspends her days cleaningskates.“I had to figure out the

numbering system onthe skates,” Zach said. “Ifthe numbers are on theright, they’re women’sskates. If they’re on theleft, they’re men’s skates.If they have a dash,they’re for children.” Thetwo had to discover thesizes in order to pur-chase correct insoles.“A lot of this is learn-

as-you-go,” Zach said.The Hills have four

daughters, who are 1, 8,9 and 12, and both workfull-time jobs, as doesNorth. Zach is an agri-cultural retail specialistat Bambauer Fertilizer.Paula is a merchant as-sistant at Cargill andNorth is employed byEmerson. That meansthat work on the rinkdoesn’t begin on any dayuntil 5:30 p.m. Paulahandles the businessside of things and Zachand North do the rehabwork.Besides readying al-

most 1,000 skates, theHills and their helpersplan to put in 10 arcade

games and equipmentthat will permit them tosell pizzas, hot dogs, icecream, pretzels, popcorn,nachos and soft drinks atthe concession stand.“I feel like we’ve put a

lot of love into thisplace,” Paula said. “Wehave a lot of sweat equityin it.”The reason for so

much effort is their de-sire to create a safe placefor kids to “hang out.”They want their owngirls to have the opportu-nity to have fun in avenue that’s not danger-ous or threatening.“The community

misses Sam’s SkatingClub,” Paula said. “Istarted a Facebook pagein October and in thefirst week, we had 500likes.”The couple also feels a

responsibility to the citywhere they live.“We’re the commu-

nity,” Paula said. “Ifwe’re not doing things tomake it better, it won’tget better.” Raible appre-ciates that sentiment.“From a Chamber of

Commerce perspective,we’re always pleased tosee available buildings inour area renovated formeaningful use. Clearly,this is what we have un-derway here with theirrenovation of the skateclub. We wish Zach andPaula much success.”The two look forward

to hosting birthday par-ties and special events atthe rink as well as over-seeing regular openhours. Their slogan is“Rolling Hills: Safe,clean, wholesome fun —that’s how we roll.”

If you knowwhere that is,would you or Ifit? If we got in,would we beable to get out? Did youknow that letting the catout of the bag is a lot eas-ier than putting it backin?

Old sayingsThere are a multitude

of old sayings and it’ssaid that many of themoriginated from actualexperiences of life. As achild, I helped mymother butcher a lot ofchickens and I recall thatthe chickens movedaround a lot with no in-tended purpose or plan.With that in mind; wouldit be safe to say that ifyou have a purpose inlife and commit yourselfto that goal you will notbe running around like achicken with its head cutoff?

Let’s focus on anotherone of those old sayingsand see what the wisdomis that we are able toglean from it and how wecan apply it to our livestoday:Worth your salt.

of life: food, uni-forms, weaponsand salt. Saltwas consideredgood for humanhealth and wasa hard-to-findcommodity. Theword soldier, inthat era, liter-ally meant, “onewho is paid insalt.” The “sal”in the wordsalarium isLatin for pay.

Over the years, the wordsalarium was shortenedand came into the Eng-lish language as salary.To say that someone isworth his or her salt, youare saying that he or sheis worth the wages thathe or she earns. Are youworth your salt?

PreservativeSalt is a preservative.

When we look into thepast we are able to dis-cover that it had beenfound that salt was amarvelous preservative.It kept things from goingbad. In Matthew 5:13, itsays that Jesus said tothe people, “You are thesalt of the earth.”Are youpreserving the righteous-ness that God has im-parted to you? What inyour life are you doing tokeep things from goingbad? In our lives, wehave people who enableus to be good when we’rearound them, but whatabout those people whohave a more relaxedstandard of living? Howdo we behave when we’rewith them? Are youhelping them by beingsalt in their lives?

Salt is a symbol of pu-rity. Early Christianswere challenged to be anexample of purity in theworld by setting thestandards for honesty,diligence in their work,being conscientious ofthe needs of others, andadhering to God’s moralstandards. In the cultureof today, these standardsof Christian living havebeen lowered and re-jected by many. If we areto be the salt of theearth, then we need toaccept the same chal-lenges faced by the earlyChristians by being hon-est, diligent, conscien-tious and morallyupright.

James 1:27 says: “Re-ligion that God our Fa-ther accepts as pure andfaultless is this: to lookafter orphans and wid-ows in their distress andto keep oneself frombeing polluted by theworld.”Preserve holinessThis is an example of

how we, as salt, can pre-serve the holiness Godhas given to us by givingto others while not be-coming polluted by theworld.

Salt is a holy flavoringfor the world. It also fla-vors food, and if we dif-fuse the joy of ourpersonal relationshipwith Christ Jesus intothe world, we will showerthe earth with the radi-ance of that joy.

Salt can lose its flavor.This happens when weare silent when weshould speak out. It hap-pens when we go along

with the crowd and whenwe keep our salt to our-selves rather than shar-ing it with others as weignore their needs.

That is what Jesuswas telling the peoplethen and that is whatthis text from Matthewis telling those of us whocall ourselves his follow-ers: “You are the salt ofthe earth.”

The world needs us toclaim our saltiness. Itneeds us to own our one-ness in Christ as we uti-lize our God-given giftsfor works of service. Godneeds us to claim ouridentity as the salt of theearth so that we arebuilding each other up inunity of service to God’splan and purpose whilelearning to ‘love the Lordyour God with all yourheart and with all yoursoul and with all yourmind.” And “love yourneighbor as yourself.”(Matthew 22:37-39)Salt of the earthGod needs us to claim

our identity as the salt ofthe earth so that his re-demptive mission for hisearth and his people willbe brought to comple-tion.

When we claim our re-sponsibility to the call ofJesus, then my friends,we will not be runningaround like chickenswith our heads cut offand — we will be worthour salt.

His poems and songs are mostlycentered on the issue of pro-life.

Kemper has spent years reaching out to youth andencouraging this generation to get involved, and nowhe has endeavored to continue that outreach withStand True Ministries.

Versailles church tocelebrate 195th anniversary

BY DIRK LAMMERSAssociated Press

SIOUX FALLS, S.D.(AP) — The pipe organhas ruled the Christianworship sanctuary forcenturies, and the ma-jestic instrument contin-ues to reign supreme inmany Roman Catholicand mainline Protestantparishes.

It’s a tougher sell forcongregations movingtoward contemporaryworship.

The growth in praise-band led services, com-bined with a nationwideshortage of qualified or-ganists, is promptingmany congregations toleave pipe organs out oftheir new constructionplans.

Jerry Aultman thinksthat’s a mistake.

The longtime organistand music professor atSouthwestern BaptistTheological said the pipeorgan doesn’t need to berelegated to funeralsand weddings, and it fitsnicely into modern wor-ship when used in theright way.

“We shouldn’t aban-don the organ in con-temporary music styles,”said Aultman, who playseach Sunday at FirstBaptist Church in Dal-las. “The organ is a won-derful instrument toblend in with any kindof instrumental ensem-ble. It can fill in a lot of

holes in the sound.”The pipe organ, which

dates back to the thirdcentury B.C., “has al-ways been the choice for

churches who want onemusician to fill the roomwith sound,” SouthDakota organ builderJohn Nordlie said.

The instrument hasbeen considered expen-sive throughout its his-tory, with current pricetags ranging from$100,000 to well into themillions. But pipe organshold their value and canlast for generations ifthey’re well-designedand well-maintained, hesaid.

Nordlie crafted hisfirst instrument in 1977for a church in Appleton,Minn., and has builtnearly 50 organs inSioux Falls shop. Eachpart is handcrafted,from the wood andmetal pipes that turnairflow into notes to theornate cabinetry thathouses the massivestructures.

Although electronicand digital instrumentscan try to emulate thesound of wind beingpushed through pipes,“they will never matchthe sound of the pipeorgan,” Nordlie said.

“The difference isthere,” he said. “Whetheryou take the time to lis-ten carefully is entirelyup to you.”

The largemegabuilders of the1960s have largely dis-appeared, but numeroussmaller companies arebuilding as many instru-ments as they can turnout, said James Weaver,executive director of theOrgan Historical Soci-ety.

ORGAN BUILDER John Nordlie points at some ofthe towering pipes on an instrument he built for FirstUnited Methodist Church, in Sioux Falls, S.D. Thepipe organ has ruled the Christian worship sanctu-ary for centuries, but a growth in praise-band wor-ship services and a nationwide shortage of qualifiedorganists are prompting many congregations toleave the majestic instrument out of their new build-ing construction plans. But organ aficionados saythey see a bright future for the instrument.

Bring out your inner scientistBBYY:: JJOOHHNN HHUUSSAASome students fear the two words. Oth-

ers have been looking forward to what theymean all year long. If you are not sure whatthe two words are, they are “science fair”and the event will be here before you knowit on February 6.For those who do not know what Science

Fair is, it is when students choose an ex-periment to do, perform the experiment,and present their results in front of judges.It may sound easy, but the students have to do tons of research, conduct trials of their project, and make a presentationboard. They do this over a couple of months, with deadlines for certain criteria.Every year you can always find new and interesting projects, and always learn

something new. Sophomore Margo Baker’s project, Hydroponic System vs. Com-post Soil, is about seeing which one makes parsley grow the fastest. SophomoreThomas Covault is testing four types of water to see which one is more suitablefor fish.The projects are looking fantastic already, and are sure to produce some in-

credible experiments. Students who receive superior ratings from the judgesmove on to the District Science Fair and maybe even to State.After the judges are finished judging the students, anyone can come and see

the students’ projects, around 8:30 p.m. on February 6 in the gym at Lehman.Whether you are a fan of science or not, the experience brings out the scientistin all of us.

Dinner for donorsBBYY:: AALLEECC GGRREEVVEEIt takes money from a lot of generous people to keep Lehman Catholic High

School up and running. Lehman’s annual Foundation Banquet is a fundraiser forthe school but also serves as an opportunity to recognize those who have giventime, talent or treasure to the school over the years. This wonderful night consistsof a delicious dinner, presentation of the donor awards, and even a legendaryspeaker.“I am very excited about the great speaker we have this year,” said Corey

Shreves, who works in the Lehman Development Office. This year’s speaker isChris Spielman, former Ohio State star linebacker. Some former speakers include Ohio State football players Archie Griffin and

Eddie George, and even the late OSU Coach Woody Hayes. However, the speak-ers are not limited to Ohio State standouts. Other former speakers include formerMichigan Head Coach “Bo” Schembechler, former Cincinnati Reds ManagerGeorge “Sparky” Anderson, TV celebrity Al Roker, Catholic Archbishop Daniel Pi-larczyk, and former Cincinnati Bengals star Anthony Munoz.“Some of the potential speakers who are on our list for the future include formerBuckeye Quarterback Kirk Herbstreit and Cardinal Francis George, Archbishop ofChicago,” said Development Director Scott Greve.This year’s banquet will be held on Saturday, February 2, and should be a fun

night for all those involved. Tickets are being sold for $150 per person which in-cludes cocktails and dinner.“I’m excited about the opportunity we have to sell out the banquet in back to backyears,” said Greve. “We are expecting a packed house for the second year in a rowand that would be great for the school.”

Everyone needs a little bit of GraceBBYY:: MMAADDIILLYYNN BBRROOWWNNIf you’ve never heard of Grace Frantz, you must not be pay-

ing attention because she is one of the most involved people atLehman. Not only is she in National Honor Society and Cavs-4-A-Cure,

she is the co-vice president of Pro-Lifeguards and is the presi-dent of the junior class. She is also a Eucharistic minister. Also known as Gracie Lou, Grace is a goalie for the girls var-

sity soccer team. As if that didn’t take up enough of her time inthe fall, she is also a very enthusiastic and dedicated member of the marching band. Grace was brought into the world 17 years ago on November 25 and is a middle

child. She has three siblings including two sisters, Sarah and Anna (both Lehmangraduates), and her younger brother John-Henry, who is an eighth grader at Holy An-gels. While at school, she favors her time in English class with Mrs. Saluke, but she also

enjoys spending time with her dog, Patches. It is no surprise that the favorite color ofthis cheerful person is yellow and, although she is quite the busy gal, she likes tospend her free time by writing and taking pictures. Grace isn’t sure what the future has in store for her, but she is definitely doing a great

job of making each day an excellent one.

New year, new you!BBYY:: AALLLLYY BBEERRGGMMAANNWhen December rolls around, most people concentrate on Christmas festivities.

After the 25th though, the New Year becomes everyone’s focus. Making New Year’sresolutions makes ringing in the year more fun. The anticipation of a fresh start, andbeing given a clean slate, is comforting and exciting for many. In order to choose the right resolution, a reflection of oneself is needed. Finding

your faults and things you need to improve is what makes a great resolution. Sopho-more Brooke Jones said, “I want to work on being kinder to everyone.” Being in aschool full of teenagers, many students struggle with this. Teachers must too becauseScience Teacher Tracy Hall said that her resolution is “to do more for others.” Academics are an aspect that many decide to include in their resolutions. FreshmanDiana Gibson admitted, “I want to continue to do well in school. I want improve everyquarter.” With exams this week, right after the start of 2013, this is also a great reso-lution to make.Whether your resolution is to be kinder, or to improve your grades, each one is

unique to the person who makes it. Having high expectations for yourself in the com-ing year is important as we all want to continue growing into the best people we canbe, but we should not forget to celebrate all of our accomplishments in the past yeartoo.

Going into the overtimeTuesday night at SidneyHigh, headcoach Greg Sny-der had a plan.And he loves

it when a planworks like thisone did.He told his

players goinginto the extraperiod that“we’re going towin this gamewith defense.”And behind

the play of ScottStewart, theJackets did justthat, holding theTrojans to a sin-gle free throw inthe overtime tocome away with a 72-63 vic-tory.“I told the kids going into

the overtime that we didn’thave our best half defensivelyin the second half,” he said.“We did well on offense, but ifwe were going to win this

game, we had to do it with de-fense. When we did get stopsand did rebound, we were ableto get out in transition andcapitalize on some of those sit-uations.”Stewart was assigned the

task of containing Troy’s tal-ented Tyler Miller, who had29 points at the end of regu-lation. He did not score again.“Scotty knew what we

needed him to do and he gotthe job done,” said Snyder. “Itwas all five guys, but Scottyset the tone and did exactlywhat we asked him to do. AndI think some of his teammatesfed off that.”In addition, the Jackets got

a huge game from seniorJames Daniel, who finishedwith a double-double of 16points an 11 rebounds.He not only came down

with a huge offensive reboundat the end of regulation, butcalmly sank two free throwswith eight seconds left thattied the game up.“James always seemed to

be in the right place at theright time,” said Snyder. “Hehad just come off a missedfree throw but I know he can

make them. I knew he wouldconcentrate. It takes a lot ofguts and you have to want toshoot them. And he did.“Troy called a timeout to

try to ice him, and in the hud-dle all the guys were trying topick him up,” Snyder added. “Isaid ‘guys relax. He’s going tomake them.’”Tyree Manley, who had a

huge three-pointer late in thegame after the Jackets fell be-hind by five, finished with 20and Eric Beigel had 17. Con-ner Echols finished with 10.“Those guys really kept us

in it,” said Snyder. The Jackets now try to

make it two in a row whenthey travel to Greenville,and Snyder says the worstthing the Jackets can do isput a lot of stock in theGreen Wave’s record, whichstands at 1-10.“Greenville is kinda like

Vandalia in that it’s been atough place to play for us,”Snyder said. “And despitetheir record, Greenville is avery good team. They’veplayed a very tough schedule,but they have a lot of talent.“It’s been a long time since

we’ve strung two good per-formances together, so it willbe interesting to see how ourkids react,” he added.The Green Wave start some

youngsters, including 6-foot-2freshman Clay Guillozet.“He’s going to be a great

player and he’s already very,very good,” said Snyder. “Hehas a lot of court savvy for afreshman.”Snyder said 6-6 Aaron

Baulsbaugh, a sophomore, isimproving and he’s also con-cerned about their guard play,which is led by junior ZachComer.“When I saw them play, I

sat with the Northmont coachand we both agreed that theirguard play is very, very good,”he said. “They basically useevery screen in the book andare very diversified in whatthey do. So that will make it areal challenge as to whetherwe can defend them or not.”The Jackets return home

Saturday to take on DaytonStivers.“They are very, very ath-

letic, so the key is going to bewhere we can get rebounds ornot,” Snyder said.

Lehman coach IsaiahWilliams made the commentWednesday that “Thank Godwe’re only 10 games in.”His meaning was clear —

still plenty of time to iron outsome things before postseasonplay arrives.“We’re 5-5 right now and

we’ve let some games slipaway,” he said. “We just haven’tbeen consistent. We need to bemore consistent on the defen-sive end and it needs to be acooperative effort. If you lookat our scores, we’ve led in allbut two or our losses, but wedon’t stay consistent enough.“It’s losing our focus and

not having mental toughness,but I think the kids will getbetter at it,” he went on.“We’re doing a lot of film nowand they get to see themselvesin game situations.”He uses a lot of players,

about 10 per game, and hethinks that will help cometournament time. “The beautyof it is that right now no oneseems to be running awaywith it,” he said. “Our goal isto be above .500 come tourna-ment time, but we’re not fo-cusing on that yet. We’re stilltrying to figure things out.”A key injury has forced him

to change up a bit. Six-foot-seven Nathan Hall, a junior,was becoming a real presenceinside, but he’s out with an in-jury.But he said players like

John Husa and James Regoare stepping up their games.“Hopefully, they will con-

tinue to come around,”Williams said. “They are bigand physical.”The Cavaliers face a tough

road challenge Friday at 4-6Fort Loramie. On Saturday,they are at Lima TempleChristian.“We were fortunate to beat

Loramie last year,” saidWilliams. “Their coach (KarlRatermann) is tough and theyplay tough and physical. We’regoing to have to match theirintensity. It will be physical,so hopefully our depth willgive us an advantage.”

SIDNEY’S SYLVIA Hudson goes up for a shot over Abby Grooms of Vandalia in actionWednesday night at Vandalia.The Lady Jackets were upset 39-33.

VANDALIA — The SidneyLady Jackets had their worstshooting night in yearsWednesday at Vandalia, and itcost them dearly in a 39-33upset at the hands of theLady Aviators in GreaterWestern Ohio ConferenceNorth girls basketball action.Vandalia came into the

game winless in the leagueand just 2-8 overall, but the 8-4 Lady Jackets couldn’t findthe bucket after the first fourminutes of the game and fellvictim to the upset.“It came down to shooting,”

said Sidney coach MeganMummey. “We were okay atthe start, but we just fellapart in the second quarter.”The Lady Jackets finished

the game hitting just 11 of 59

from the field for 18.6 percent.And to make matters worse,they were just 10-for-23 fromthe free throw line, 44 per-cent.That negated the Lady

Jackets pulling down 21 of-fensive rebounds in the game,and forcing Vandalia into 26turnovers. They simply couldnot capitalize.No one struggled more

than the area’s leading scorerKonner Harris, who enteredthe game averaging 22.3, topsin the entire GWOC.She finished with just four

points, and they all came inthe first quarter.The Lady Jackets actually

led 11-4 at one point in theearly going, but wereoutscored 12-3 in the crucial

second period. And despitetrailing just 20-14 at the half,Sidney never regained thelead.Freshman Sylvia Hudson

led Sidney with 10 points andLauren Elmore added nine.The loss dropped Sidney to

2-1 in the North and 8-5 over-all.

Sidney (33)Harris 1-2-4; Hanayik 3-1-8; El-

There are three teamssitting atop the Countyboys bas-k e t b a l lrace withone lossapiece, butthe close-ness of thechase isovershad-owed thisweek by aninjury to one of theleague’s best.Treg Francis, a senior

for the Russia Raiderswho is averaging 14.8points per game, was in-jured in the first quarterTuesday night at Fair-lawn. And a trip to thedoctor on Wednesday re-vealed a broken foot.Francis, who contin-

ued to play with the in-jured foot and finishedwith 17 points Tuesday,will be out at least sixweeks.“You hate to see it for

a senior,” said Russiacoach Paul Bremigan.“Hopefully, everythingwill go well and maybehe’ll be back for tourna-ment games. But if not,he’s a very good baseballplayer and we can look

to that.”The Raiders will host

one of those league lead-ers Friday in theBotkins Trojans, whilethe other two also facestiff challenges.Fairlawn is home to

the red-hot Anna Rock-ets, and Jackson Centertravels to Houston.Fort Loramie is in

non-league action athome against Lehman.Saturday is busy, with

only Fairlawn being idle.Anna is at top-ranked

St. Henry, Botkins trav-els to Parkway, Houstonis home to Bradford, Lo-ramie is at Minster,Jackson hosts NewKnoxville and Russiagoes to SpringfieldCatholic.

RussiaCoach Bremigan will

have to do some shuf-fling now with the loss ofFrancis.“It’s a tough loss,” said

the veteran coach. “Withthat injury, and how itwill affect our rotation,I’m a little more con-cerned about us than Iam about Botkins rightnow. After (Tuesday)night, I haven’t reallythought much about

them, but one thing I doknow is that they’vefound ways to win andthat’s something wehaven’t been able to doyet.”His biggest concern,

besides filling the voidleft by Francis, is de-fense.“It’s a little bit of

everything,” he said.“Probably me trying todo too much defensively.Offensively, we weregood but defensively wetook a step back. All youhave to do is look at thescore. We scored 70points (Tuesday) anddidn’t win. But we’ve gotthe kids that can defendand things we can workon.”Jackson CenterThe Tigers bounced

back in a big way lastweek from two straightlosses the previousweekend, and in theprocess kept themselvesin the thick of theCounty race.The loss to Fort Lo-

ramie two Fridays agoended a 26-game Countywin streak for Jackson,and with a trip to Fair-lawn, unbeaten in theleague, in the offing lastFriday, the Tigers wereat a critical stage.

But they turned upthe defense and domi-nated the Jets to leavethe County race withthree teams on top atone loss apiece, includ-ing the Tigers.“Friday was big for

us,” said head coachScott Elchert. “We didn’twant to put ourselvestwo games back in theleague. To go on the roadand play as well as wedid against a quality op-ponent was a real boost.”Alex Meyer was out-

standing all weekend,scoring 25 and 22 pointsin the two games (Satur-day at Waynesfield), buthe had plenty of helpfrom the likes of TreyElchert and Gavin Wil-dermuth.Elchert set up team-

mates all night in finish-ing with nine assists,andWildermuth was oneof the beneficiaries in a16-point effort.“Gavin had a big

weekend and got thingsgoing offensively,” saidcoach Elchert. “Trey has-n’t been real consistentwith his outside shootingbut he’s really done agood job of distributingthe ball. And we're confi-dent that his shot will bethere. And Eric Ryder

has had some big games.It’s so important havingmultiple guys contribut-ing.”The Tigers trek to

Houston to face theWild-cats Friday, and it’s an-other key County game.“You can’t take a

night off in this leaguethis year,” Elchert said.“This is a big time chal-lenging weekend. Wehave New Knoxville Sat-urday but of course, ourfocus will be on Houston.They have consistentlybeen getting it done atthe defensive end, andthey have the weaponson offense. So it’s a mat-ter of having to come outand guard.”

AnnaThe Rockets have

been as good as anybodyin the County of late,reeling off three straightwins after losing theirfirst eight games.They have a chance to

make some big wavesthis weekend, but it’s ahuge challenge, startingwith Friday night at 9-2Fairlawn. On Saturday,it’s a trip to No. 1-rankedSt. Henry (10-1).“We’re just trying to

get better each and everyday,” said Anna coachNate Barhorst. “We don’twant to get complacentwith where we’re at. It’sa lot different at practicenow than early in theseason. There is more in-tensity to our approachand the kids look for-ward to getting out thereand competing.”Barhorst said there is

still a lot to work on, buthe doesn’t want to upsetthe flow his team hasgoing.“We don’t want to ruin

the flow, but there arethings you have to tinkerwith,” he said. “We haveguys that are reallystarting to gel.”The focus is on Fair-

lawn, which is tied atopthe County standings.“We’re going to be

ready and we know Fair-lawn will be,” he said.“Any game you go into,you have to be ready fora knockdown, drag-utfight. They’re going towant to push, push, push,and we’ve got to be ableto stop them. This week-end will be a challengeand a measuring stick tosee how far we’ve come.”

FairlawnThe Jets survived an-

other big challenge Tues-day, getting past theRussia Raiders 77-70.They trailed by one

with 90 seconds left inthat one.“It was a very good

win for us,” said Fair-lawn first-year coachJustin Tidwell. “That’sone thing about theleague this year. Any-body can beat anybodyso you have to be readyevery night out.“Russia hit a big

jumper with 90 secondsleft to take a one-pointlead but we were able tobounce back. Our seniorsstepped up, and the twokids we look to had tostep up and they did.Trey (Everett) and An-thony (Gillem) reallyplayed well.”He knows his Jets will

again have their handsfull Friday night when

the Anna Rockets cometo town with a three-game winning streak.The Jets won at Anna

to open the season, butTidwell expects a differ-ent team this timearound.“When we played

them the first time, theywere going about eightdeep,”Tidwell said. “Nowthey’re back to using sixand they’re playing welltogether. We expect aphysical game, whichyou always get fromAnna. Everybody knowswe want to get out andpush the ball, so I thinktempo will be the keyFriday.”

HoustonHead coach John

Willoughby says the sea-son is split into threeparts — before the (holi-day) break, after thebreak, and tournament.And he’s hoping his

Wildcats will find theirshooting touch beforethe season goes muchfurther.“We’re not very con-

sistent,” he said. “Weplayed well early in theseason, but in the lastfew league games, wehaven’t played well.We’re not scoring andthat makes it tough.We’re getting good shotsbut we’re just not hittingthem. I don’t have a com-plaint about the shotswe’re taking, but weneed a couple of guys tohit their jumpers.”TheWildcats have one

of the league’s topweapons in JessePhlipot, but he’s attract-ing all kinds of attention.“There’s been as many

as four guys near him attimes,” said Willoughby.“Teams are ganging upon him and there arevery few times when he’sby himself. We have torecognize it and he has torecognize it and get histeammates good shots.We talk about that all thetime and he’s willing.”The Wildcats stay

home Friday and take onthe Jackson CenterTigers, defending leaguechamps and tied for firstright now.“We need to shoot bet-

ter but Jackson Center isnot a great team to dothat against,” saidWilloughby. “They playgreat defense and thelast time we playedthem, we had a lot ofempty possessions. Wecan’t afford that again.”Fort LoramieLoramie coach Karl

Ratermann is playingpsychologist this week,trying whatever he canto get his kids to beready to play.“We’re having a diffi-

cult time finding ourmental focus beforegames,” said Ratermann.“I’d say in our fourgames we won, we werereally mentally focusedto play. But for whateverreason, we’re strugglingto get that focus.“That’s been our main

battle,” he added. “We’vebeen working since thebeginning of the year.The guys work hard inpractice and really playwell when they’re fo-cused.”

COUNTY ROUNDUP

CLEVELAND (AP) —Rob Chudzinski mightget a third shot at coach-ing the Browns. Maybethis time as the headman.A person familiar

with the meeting saidChudzinski, Carolina’soffensive coordinator thepast two seasons, inter-viewed Wednesday withthe Browns. Chudzinskihad two previous stintsas an assistant withCleveland, the team herooted for as a kid grow-ing up in Toledo, Ohio.Chudzinski visited

the team’s facility inBerea, said the personwho spoke to The Associ-ated Press on conditionof anonymity becausethe teams are not con-firming any interviews.Chudzinski’s interviewcomes one day after theBrowns met with an-other former assistant,Marc Trestman, cur-rently coach of the CFL’sMontreal Alouettes.The 44-year-old

Chudzinski has spentthe past two seasonswith the Panthers work-ing with quarterbackCam Newton. Carolinafinished fifth in total of-fense in 2011 and 12thlast season underChudzinski. He wasCleveland’s tight endscoach in 2004, but wasfired along with the restof Butch Davis’ staff. Hereturned to the club in2007 as the offensive co-ordinator for RomeoCrennel.Last year, Chudzinski

interviewed for headcoaching jobs with St.Louis, Jacksonville andTampa Bay.Chudzinski’s connec-

tions with the Brownsrun deep.He grew up pulling

for Cleveland and was

thrilled when his firstNFL coaching job was onDavis’ staff. After he leftCleveland the first time,he spent two seasons asSan Diego’s tight endscoach, working withperennial Pro Bowlstandout Antonio Gates,before he was hired byCrennel in 2007.That year, the Browns

won 10 games — theirmost wins since 1999 —and had four playersmake the Pro Bowl.However, 2008 didn’t gonearly as well as injuriesand a six-game losingstreak to close the sea-son resulted in a 4-12record and the firing ofCrennel. Cleveland’s of-fense sputtered inChudzinski’s secondyear.He went back to the

Chargers for two moreseasons before he washired in Carolina.FOX Sports reported

the team interviewedCincinnati defensive co-ordinator Mike Zimmer,the first known defen-sive coach to meet withthe Browns. The team isalso planning to meetwith Indianapolis offen-sive coordinator BruceArians as the Brownscontinue looking fortheir sixth coach since1999.Zimmer, who has

never been a head coach,has run the Bengals de-fense since 2008.

GREENVILLE—TheSidney High wrestlingteam increased its dual-meet record to 11-1 withtwo more wins Tuesdaynight in a super-tri atGreenville.The Jackets beat Trot-

wood 61-6 and alsoGreenville 57-11.Against Trotwood,

Sidney won six matchesby forfeit and there wasa double forfeit in an-other.In the weight classes

contested, Jacob Sharpwon 20-5 at 113, Jere-miah Slagle pinned in1:28 at 138, LoganCalvert pinned in 1:34 at145 pounds, Ryan Penleywon 9-4 at 152, GarrichGinter pinned in 4:46 at160, Jordan Fox lost 9-2at 170, and JacobLochard lost 5-2 at 195.“Trotwood won two

matches and both werehigher placers at the hoi-day tournament,” saidSidney coach Jim Mc-Cracken. “I thinkLochard would have wonif his opponent hadn’thit the “special” or clawlift. Trotwood has usedthis technique for years.It’s their bread and but-ter move.They hit it welland with so much powerit’s really hard to defend.But Trotwood had waytoo many forfeits. It’s im-possible to beat anyteam when you givethem 36 points.”There was just one

forfeit in the Greenvillematch, as well as onedouble forfeit. In the re-maining matches, theJackets lost only twice.Kyle Pierce had a

quick 23-second pin at106 pounds, and Sharppinned in 5:04 at 113.Alex Willman had a

pin in 3:11 at 120 andJared Tangemen won 21-6 at 126.Rhett Rosengarten

won 17-3 at 132, Logan

Calvert pinned in 3:28 at145, Penley won 6-0 at152 and Ginter pinnedin just 20 seconds at 160.Fox pinned in 3:25 at

170, and Lochard won 7-2 at 195.Sidney lost at 138 and

220.“Greenville has a

young team but itseemed like our kidswere not satisfied withjust winning,” said Mc-Cracken. “We got on aroll with pins in thelightweights and it car-ried throughout the restof the squad. Even whenwe didn’t pin we weregoing for technical falls,so we got a lot of bonuspoints.“We are starting to

get the idea of trying todominate kids, controlthe action.”Tangeman was

named the “wrestler ofthe week” by Mc-Cracken.“He showed a lot of

character,” McCrackensaid. “He was in a badposition during the sec-ond period but he foughtoff his back and went onto get a technical fall at

the buzzer of the thirdperiod. Jared has put ittogether as of late toraise his record to 12-10.“Ryan Penley looked

good in both of hismatches,” he went on.“He’s a control-type ofwrestler and controlledboth opponents prettywell tonight. JacobSharp and LoganCalvert were both ag-gressive.“Some of our most ex-

citing duals over theyears were withGreenville,” he added.“Tonight lacked thatsame excitment but itwas because we domi-nated throughout everymatch we won.”Sam Niswonger led

the junior varsity forSidney with two wins.He is now 17-1 in JVmatches.Sidney returns to ac-

tion Jan. 18 at the TopGun Tournament in Al-liance.

home Saturday night toNew Knoxville, which is

playing well now.“We didn’t come out

with as much intensityas we should haveagainst New Knoxville,”said Botkins coach BrettMeyer. “We had sometrouble scoring for awhile. Knoxville is now5-4 and they took St.Henry down to the wirethe night before. Butwe’re playing good com-petition right now.”The Trojans had

about two weeks off overthe holidays and Meyersaid his team is still try-ing to get back in theflow of things. And theyhave a tough test Fridaynight at Russia.“We can’t be satisfied

with where we’re at,” hesaid. “It’s been a goodseason so far, but wehave a lot of basketballto play, and we have tofocus on our game Fri-day. It’s tough losingFrancis, but they havekids that can play, andthey can score points ina hurry.“We just have to keep

up the intensity,” headded. “When we’re in-tense, we play prettywell. If we get lax, we letteams do things that weshouldn’t let them do.”

Life-expectancy issue discussed

Readers tell wife to work through problems at home

DEAR DR.ROACH: I realizemost of the lettersyou print are fromsenior citizens,like me. I am 72and have healthissues — highblood pressure, el-evated cholesteroland arthritis, andI realize I will notlive forever.One ofmy friends wokeme up when shesaid she “has todie of something.” Thethought of death does notpetrify me. When I’vebeen in senior health fa-cilities, I’ve seen manypeople whose quality oflife is so limited that ITHINK I would choose apeaceful death over someof those situations.Sometimes I get the

impression that some ofus think that if we get justthe right physician’s careand medications, life cango on and on. I also realizethat Americans spend

many of theirhealth dollars inthe final year oftheir lives, andthat seemswasteful and un-necessary. So I’dlike you to relatewhat current lifeexpectancies areand what factorsmost affect lifeexpectancy. —J.G.

A N S W E R :Thank you for

this honest and thought-provoking letter.As a pri-mary-care doctor for 20years, I have thought a lotabout the issues youbring up. I also havespent a lot of time exam-ining mathematical mod-els of life expectancy.Let me start with your

point that Americansspend many of theirhealth dollars in the lastyear of life. In fact, 27 per-cent of spending is duringthe final year of life. Un-fortunately, it is not al-

ways clear as it is hap-pening that the last yearof life is upon us, or eventhat the illness one is fac-ing is destined to be thefinal one.So, it makes sense to

treat illness appropri-ately, no matter what theage. I don’t see people re-gret medical care whenthe outcome is uncertain;people regret too muchmedical care when a ter-minal result is certain.That often takes time.You have been wiseenough to look at whatthe future might hold,and now is the time, if youhaven’t already, to writeout your wishes in theform of a livingwill and todesignate — and, espe-cially, discuss with yourdurable power of attorneyfor health care — whatyour wishes are in caseyou are no longer able tomake those wishesknown. That way, once itbecomes clear, your fam-ily and doctors will know

what you want.Your second question is

about current life ex-pectancy. These numbersare available readily fromthe Social Security Ad-ministration website, andyou can find that a 72-year-old woman has, onaverage, a life expectancyof about 15 years. On theother hand, if youmake itto 87, you still have a lifeexpectancy of about sixmore years.However, nobody lives

forever. Even for a personwith the healthiestlifestyle, who has avoidedchronic diseases and hasgood genetics, that personat 72 has a life expectancyof 20 to perhaps 30 years.You can make a huge

difference by keeping yourblood pressure under con-trol, exercising regularlyand eating well. The juryremains out, but I suspectthat personality traits, in-cluding resilience, andstrong social connectionsalso predict long life.

DEAR ABBY:This is in response to“Had It in Hartford”(Oct. 6),who has beenunhappily married toher husband for 20years. She said shemarried him for allthe wrong reasonsand “has never lovedhim theway awomanshould love a man.”After I had been

married for sevenyears, I went to mypastor concerned that thegrass on the other sidewas looking greener thanmine.Aswe spoke, I beganto realize the extent of theinvestment I had put intomy marriage and that Ididn’t want to start overagain on a new one.My mom always told

me, “Marriage is not easy.You will always have towork on it. There will betimes when you won’t feel

that you likehim or lovehim.” I havebeen marriedfor 36 yearsnow. Do I no-tice handsomemen, or appre-ciate a manwho treats mekindly? Ofcourse. I’m notblind or dead.Love isn’t

just a feeling,but a choice and a com-mitment. I’m committedto my husband not be-cause I’m“supposed” to be,but because I CHOOSE tobe. It seems to me that“Had It” never made thatchoice orworked toward it,but expected it to just hap-pen eventually.She has a foundation of

trust and friendship thathelps a marriage throughthe rough times. Many

marriages that end in di-vorce rely on sexual at-traction and passion tocarry them instead offriendship.We’re told that mar-

riage is 50-50. That’s nottrue. It’s 100-100. I’m re-sponsible for my 100 per-cent, and my spouse isresponsible for his.”Had It” should take

another look at what she’sabout to lose and tally upthe costs to her family. Isshe really trapped?Orhasshe just been unwilling tochoose to love? — BAR-BARA IN MOUNT VER-NON,WASH.

DEAR BARBARA:Thank you for writing. Iadvised “Had It” to thinklong and hard before leav-ing her husband, but thatif she truly cannot lovehim the way he deserves,she should move on. Myreaders’ comments:

DEAR ABBY: “Had It”doesn’t feel love towardher husband because shespends her time and en-ergy ruminating about a“mistake” she thinks shemade 20 years ago. Shesays he is doing every-thing right and they getalong fine. If she triedsomething positive, likereminding herself aboutthe qualities she likesabout him, and doingthings she knows makehim happy instead of fan-tasizing about other men,shemight find the love shecraves in her marriage.Loving feelings come

from loving behavior, notthe otherway around.Thesooner she realizes this,the sooner she’ll see thatwhat she really wants isright there at home withher family.And it has beenthere all along. — DR.PEGGYB.
