soccer season
DARE to make good decisions
By MEREDITH ENKOFF
Staff Writer
ST. MARYS — Memorial High School senior
Kristen Dammeyer was not always a serious soccer
player. When she started out at age 6, playing for the
Red Kickers, it was just something
her parents had thrown her into.
“I was kind of the girl that stood
on the field and played with her pigtails at first,” she said. “It wasn’t until, I think, U-8 that I really started
to get into it.”
The star forward for the Lady
Dammeyer
Roughriders made First Team AllWBL and Second Team All-State
last year. The awards meant a lot to her because they
were a surprise, and because her coaches nominated
her to receive them after the league season play was
over.
“I just thought that was awesome,” she said “(The
coaches) vote for who they think stood out the most,
either from the league or district, or the whole state...
who they think had the most impact.”
Dammeyer said this season, her third playing
varsity, was a good one. Her favorite moment was
against Wapakoneta in a tournament game. The
Redskins are not their biggest rival, she said, but are
always considered a good team to beat.
“We were down I think 2-0, and then all of a sudden, just like within 10 minutes, we scored three
goals, and we were just on fire at the time,” Dammeyer said. “It was so awesome seeing the team go
crazy like that. After the win, it was just so awesome

Squeaky-clean
Christmas
comes to Otterbein
By JANICE BARNIAK
Staff Writer
ST. MARYS — Otterbein St. Marys residents will receive soap
bags, knitted and crocheted with care by the
St. Marys Community
Public Library Craft
Circle over the last six
weeks.
Phyllis
Kenyon,
group member, found
the pattern for the bags
online and brought it
to the group, while the
Otterbein's
librarian
for outreach programs,
Beth Keuneke, found
out how many the group
would need for residents, which launched
the making of about 60
of the bags, a total of approximately 120 hours
of labor at two hours
per item, all done before
Christmas.
"It was fun to see it
grow week after week.
Someone would bring
in four, another would
bring in three," said
group member Julie
Knous.
The women made
the projects their own,
changing out the ribbon
for yarn chains, and all
sticking to Sugar and
Cream yarn.
The soap bags will
let Otterbein residents
use the full bar of soap,
with no small pieces are
wasted, and will keep
anyone from having to
pick up dropped soap.
"It's what they used
in the Depression so as
not to waste soap," said
Aileen Merricle.
"Well I was born during that," said Kenyon.
Many of the women
remembered using soap
bags growing up, or
pressing a bar on top of
a full bar to get the most
use out of it.
The women provided
unopened bars of soap
for the bags.
The women discussed
lean times, clicked their
knitting needles or crochet hooks or worked
on embroidery.
The group meets at
10 a.m. every Friday at
St. Marys Community
Public Library and is
open to anyone.
Wildlife officers
cited for
hunting violations
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Eighteen more state
wildlife officers are being referred for possible criminal prosecution after a follow-up investigation into
illegal hunting while on duty uncovered additional
cases, the state watchdog said.
The Ohio Department of Natural Resources said
it immediately would place 17 officers on administrative duty and remove their law enforcement powers pending an internal investigation. The 18th officer, a supervisor, has retired.
Inspector General Randall Meyer found in comparing deer harvest and payroll records that the officers had hunted while on duty or were off duty at the
time their deer harvests were recorded and therefore
falsified payroll records to collect pay for hours not
worked.
The inspector general’s report said “lack of accountability and supervision along with failure of
wildlife officers’ compliance with the communication policy” was not only a legal issue but a safety
concern.
Meyer launched the probe after an earlier investigation resulted in the convictions of two Brown
County officers. He said he suspected it was more
than an isolated incident.
Natural Resources spokeswoman Bethany McCorkle said the department has responded to activities highlighted in the probes, which go back as far as
former Gov. Ted Strickland’s administration, with
updated protocols and officer education.
She said an internal investigation would be conducted, allowing the officers to present their sides
of the story before a determination is made on any
further disciplinary action.
The department’s 140-member Wildlife Division
has at least one wildlife officer in each of the state’s
88 counties. Officers identified in the probe were
from Adams, Belmont, Butler, Champaign, Columbiana, Defiance, Fayette, Franklin, Gallia, Geauga,
Highland, Hocking, Holmes, Mercer, Sandusky,
Stark, Vinton and Wyandot counties.

The method involves studying
drugs in small groups of people
and using advanced statistical techniques to analyze the results as they
come in, instead of waiting for all
the data to arrive.
Whether the drug, veliparib,
ever makes it to market remains to
be seen, but it has shown enough

testing aimed at Food and Drug
Administration approval.
Bringing a new cancer drug to
market usually takes more than a
decade and tests in thousands of patients, and costs more than $1 billion. Companies can't afford many
studies like that, and patients can't
wait years for potentially life-saving
new medicines, said Don Berry, a
biostatistician at the University of
Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center.
He helped design the novel analytical method discussed Friday
at the San Antonio Breast Cancer
Symposium, an international conference.
Researchers testing a drug usually don't see results until they're all
in, to prevent biasing the study. But
several years ago, an unusual partnership decided to try a new way.

then gives them surgery to see what
effect the medicines had. The best
result is a complete response, where
no signs of cancer remain.
Each patient's results are analyzed as they come in, and advanced
statistical methods are used to calculate probabilities that the drug
would help in various situations,
depending on which women had a
complete response.
"This allows us to learn and
adapt from each patient as the
study goes on," and results on early
participants guide treatment that
later ones get, said Dr. Hope Rugo

that adding the chemotherapy drug
carboplatin and veliparib to usual
chemo before surgery improved
outcomes for women with "triple

that are not fueled by estrogen, progesterone or the gene that the medicine Herceptin targets.
Up to 20 percent of breast cancers are this type, and they are more
common in young women, blacks
and Hispanics, and women with
certain breast cancer gene mutations.
Researchers were able to determine the drug's potential after
tests in only 71 women and just six
months of treatment. They calculated that tests of only 300 women

FDA officials have said that in
certain cases, complete responses

as follow-up tests are done after the

that it indeed is improving survival.

$"1&$"/"7&Ć-
Fla. (AP) — Space station
astronaut Rick Mastracchio may get his Christmas wish for a spacewalk
or two because of a broken cooling system.
Mastracchio, an experienced spacewalker, said
he's more than ready to
go out and make repairs,
if deemed necessary by
Mission Control.
"Any time you have
something like this, it's
good news, bad news,"
Mastracchio told The Associated Press on Friday.
"Of course, the bad
news is the station's having problems and we have
to go out and do a repair.
The good news is we have
the spare parts. We have
the training. We have the
skills and, of course, going
out and doing a spacewalk
is always very exciting —
yet very challenging."
One of two cooling
loops on the space station
shut down Wednesday after it got too cold. Flight
controllers suspect a bad
valve inside an external
pump.
*UhT B TFSJPVT TJUVBUJPO
that needs to be remedied
quickly, officials said, in
case there are additional
failures.
On Friday, engineers
in Houston spent a third
day working on the issue.
They want to see if they
can solve the problem remotely, before ordering
up a series of spacewalks
to replace the entire
pump. Three spacewalks
were required to install
this pump in 2010.
The space station cooling system uses ammonia
to dissipate heat generated
by on-board equipment.
The six astronauts have
turned off all nonessential
equipment to reduce the
heat load, including some
science
experiments.
That's resulted in extra
free time for Mastracchio
and his U.S., Japanese
and Russian crewmates.
Otherwise, life has not
changed much a couple
hundred miles up, he
noted.
"We still have lights.
We still have the toilet
working. We still have
food, and we're still very
comfortable up here,"
Mastracchio said. "So the
biggest problem is that
we're just not taking the
time during our schedule
to do as much science as
we normally would."
An upcoming delivery
mission may be delayed
because of the cooling
system trouble. The commercial Cygnus capsule,
currently scheduled for
a Wednesday launch
GSPN8BMMPQT*TMBOE7B
almost certainly holds
holiday surprises for the
astronauts, along with the
usual stash of supplies.
At least Mastracchio
doesn't have to cram in
any last-minute Christmas shopping, using the

phone or online capability. The 53-year-old engineer said he bought presents for his wife before he
rocketed into orbit at the

History Highlights
The Associated Press
Today is Saturday, Dec. 14, the 348th day of 2013.
There are 17 days left in the year.
Today’s Highlight in History:
On Dec. 14, 1799, the first president of the United
States, George Washington, died at his Mount Vernon,
Va., home at age 67.
On this date:
In 1819, Alabama joined the Union as the 22nd state.
In 1861, Prince Albert, husband of Queen Victoria, died
at Windsor Castle at age 42.
In 1911, Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen and his
team became the first men to reach the South Pole, beating out a British expedition led by Robert F. Scott.
In 1918, “Il Trittico,” a trio of one-act operas by Giacomo Puccini, premiered at New York’s Metropolitan Opera
House. (The third opera, “Gianni Schicchi,” featured the
aria “O Mio Babbino Caro,” which was an immediate hit.)
In 1936, the comedy “You Can’t Take It With You” by
George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart opened on Broadway.
In 1946, the United Nations General Assembly voted to
establish U.N. headquarters in New York.
In 1961, a school bus was hit by a passenger train at a
crossing near Greeley, Colo., killing 20 students.
In 1962, the U.S. space probe Mariner 2 passed Venus
at a distance of just over 21,000 miles, transmitting information about the planet, such as its hot surface temperatures and predominantly carbon dioxide atmosphere.
In 1972, Apollo 17 astronauts Harrison Schmitt and
Eugene Cernan concluded their third and final moonwalk
and blasted off for their rendezvous with the command
module.
In 1975, six South Moluccan extremists surrendered
after holding 23 hostages for 12 days on a train near the
Dutch town of Beilen.
In 1981, Israel annexed the Golan Heights, which it had
seized from Syria in 1967.
In 1986, the experimental aircraft Voyager, piloted by
Dick Rutan and Jeana Yeager, took off from Edwards Air
Force Base in California on the first non-stop, non-refueled flight around the world.
Ten years ago: A weary, disheveled Saddam
Hussein was displayed on television screens worldwide, a
day after his capture by American troops. A car bombing
outside an Iraqi police station near Baghdad killed at least
17 people. Actress Jeanne Crain died in Santa Barbara,
Calif., at age 78.
Five years ago: An Iraqi journalist hurled each
of his shoes at President George W. Bush during a news
conference in Baghdad; Bush ducked the flying footwear
as they whizzed past his head and landed against the wall
behind him.

Other views from around the country
(MCT) On Dec. 14, 2012, I was
duck hunting in California when
my phone buzzed with a breaking news alert. There had been a
shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn.
As the hours unfolded, more details surfaced. Twenty children —
all of them 6 or 7 years old — and
six adults had been gunned down
in a senseless act of violence.
In the days and weeks that followed the shooting, we pledged
to never forget. We said this time
would be different. We said that
something must be done.
It has now been a year. In that
year more than 10,000 people
have been killed by someone using a gun. And in the U.S. House
of Representatives, the majority
party hasn’t allowed a single vote
to prevent further acts of gun violence.
It’s not because there hasn’t
been a bill on which to vote. I have
written and introduced bipartisan
legislation expanding comprehensive and enforceable criminal
background checks to cover commercial firearm sales such as those
at gun shows and over the Internet. It is the same legislation that
was authored by A-rated NRA Sen.
Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., and Pat
Toomey, R-Pa., and supported by a
bipartisan majority in the Senate.
Sixteen states, including California, already require criminal
background checks at gun shows
and for Internet sales. However,
the 34 other states only require
checks for purchases made through
a licensed gun dealer. That means
criminals in California can drive
across the state line, load up with
guns at a gun show, then drive
back into our state.
If my bill was passed, criminals,
terrorists, domestic abusers, the
dangerously mentally ill and other
prohibited purchasers wouldn’t be
able to bypass a background check
by simply going online or to a gun
show.
People on all sides of the gun
violence prevention issue have
said their goal is to keep guns
out of dangerous hands. But you
cannot achieve this goal without
background checks. Background
checks are the only way of knowing if a person buying a gun is a
criminal, a terrorist or dangerously mentally ill.
The evidence shows background checks work when they
are used. Nationally last year,
background checks identified and
denied 88,000 sales to prohibited
purchasers at licensed dealers.
However, there is no way of
knowing if those 88,000 prohibited purchasers, after being denied
at a licensed dealer, then bought a
gun at a gun show or over the Internet with no questions asked.
This is a huge loophole that
costs lives.
You don’t have to look any further than the sister of my State of
the Union guest Elvin Daniel to
see this is true. Elvin’s sister Zina
had a restraining order against her
husband that prevented him from
passing a background check. Nevertheless, Zina’s husband was able
to go online and buy a .40-caliber
semi-automatic handgun with
which he killed Zina and two others in Wisconsin.
The House majority has refused
to allow a vote on my legislation
to close this loophole. While they
know 90 percent of the American public supports background
checks, they fear a vote in favor of
my legislation would upset their
extreme-right base and cause political backlash from the beltway
National Rifle Association. This
political calculus has trumped
voting on legislation that will help
save lives.
Critics of my legislation have
used multiple arguments to justify their inaction. They have argued that it’s unnecessary because
criminals will never submit to a
background check. Under my bill,
if a criminal is trying to buy a gun
online or at a gun show and are
unwilling or unable to pass a background check, then they will not
get a gun. This drastically reduces
the number of places criminals can
easily access guns.
Critics have also called my bill
anti-Second Amendment. It is not.
I am a gun owner and support the
rights of lawful Americans to own
firearms.
In reality, my bill is pro-Second
Amendment. It provides reasonable exceptions so people won’t
have to get a background check
if they inherit a family rifle, borrow a shotgun for a hunting trip,
or purchase a gun from a friend, a
hunting buddy or neighbor. It bans
the creation of a federal registry. It
allows active duty military to buy
firearms in their home states and
the state in which they are stationed. And it authorizes the use of
a recent state concealed carry permit in lieu of a background check.
There are 187 members of Congress who have co-sponsored my
background checks bill. More have
said they would vote for the bill.
Why hasn’t it been put up for a
vote? Why isn’t every member of
Congress a co-sponsor of an anticriminal, pro-Second Amendment
bill that strengthens gun rights
and saves lives? Those are questions every constituent should ask
their representative in Congress.
Shortly after hearing of the
tragic news out of Newtown, we
learned about the heroism of a
teacher named Victoria Soto. After
hearing gunshots she hid her students in a closet and put her body
in between them and the gunman.
Victoria was shot and killed, but
she saved the lives of all the kids in
her classroom.
At 27 she was brave enough to
give her life. The House majority
should be brave enough to give her
a vote.

Man gets 6 years for wife’s hospital killing
AKRON (AP) — An Ohio
man convicted of fatally shooting his ailing wife in her hospital bed was sentenced Friday to
six years in prison and plans to
seek clemency from the governor.
John Wise, 68, has said he
shot his debilitated wife out
of love in August 2012 after
she suffered aneurysms and
appeared to be in pain at an
Akron hospital. Mercy is not a
defense to a murder charge in
Ohio.
The sentence issued by Summit County Court of Common
Pleas Judge Mary Margaret
Rowlands was in line with
prosecutors’ recommendation
that the Massillon man receive
a lighter punishment than the
minimum 23 years on his most
serious conviction, an aggravated murder count.
Holding a cane and wearing
a striped jail outfit, Wise remained seated during the hearing. He made a brief statement,
choking up as he apologized to
his family and his son. He also
thanked the prosecutors and
the court.
Prosecutors said Wise’s actions were illegal but that the
case warranted leniency.
“We believe that although
his motive may have been pure,

make the project feasible.
He said he’d give his own time, as a private citizen, to run the building of the house for free.
They found a building plan that Habitat for Humanity uses online.
“The name of the home is Beverly. We didn’t even
know that until we printed it off,” said Bev Hurlburt.
The home is modest, she said, with 900-1000
square feet.
“There’s not a lot of bells and whistles,” she added.
Dodds assured the Hurlburts however that it would
be a good solid house and should outlive the occupant.
The ROC made the goal of raising $25,000 for
the house, and getting as much community help as
possible. Meanwhile the man would have enough income to take out a reasonable loan to help fund the
rest of the house.
Right now, the group is at $10,000 dollars. In the
spring, they believe they’ll be ready to build.
Meanwhile, the city of St. Marys pushed back
and pushed back the date of destruction, until they
couldn’t push it back any longer. Then the city had
grant money from the Move Ohio Forward fund
that was for taking down houses, so the demolition
didn’t cost anything.
“We’re seeing the community start to come together,” Joe Hurlburt said.
ROC is looking for people to hammer, paint, drywall and do other work this spring.
A skilled person will be on site at all times, and
will guide people to work they’ll be able to do.
Anyone can help, however, even if they’re unable
to build, by providing food for volunteers.
“There’s something that happens in the midst of
helping people, where you get blessed yourself,” Bev
Hurlburt said.

he was wrong,” Summit County Assistant Prosecutor Brian
LoPrinzi said at sentencing.
Wise’s attorney, Paul Adamson, said they will pursue clemency from the governor and
create an online petition for
supporters to sign. He called
the shooting “an aberrational
act” for Wise.
“I’ve never represented a
finer man,” Adamson told the
judge.
Among those at the sentencing was Liz Flaker, one of the
jurors who convicted Wise after he pursued an insanity defense. She said the jurors, who
deliberated for several hours,
took two votes. The first was
9-3 in favor of conviction; the
second was unanimous.
“There was really no split,
per se, but I think there were
a couple of people that kind of
wavered on ... thinking was he
insane or was he not insane,”
Flaker said. “I think the way
the law was written for the state
of Ohio is a little bit hazy.”
Prosecutors had recommended that Wise be sentenced
to six years for manslaughter, a
charge that wasn’t among the
counts against him but is considered a lesser included offense. After neither side found
previous case law to support
that unusual suggestion, the
prosecution instead asked the
judge to sentence Wise under
his felonious assault conviction with a firearms specification, and the judge did so.
Wise also was convicted of
aggravated murder with a firearm specification and murder,
which could have led to a life
sentence.
Police say Wise calmly
walked into his wife’s hospital
room on Aug. 4, 2012, and shot
her at her bedside. She died the
next day.
Wise told police he intended
to kill himself after shooting his
wife, but the weapon jammed.
Buckeye League this year. Considering that the team started the season with uncertainty after a shaky
pre-season, Dammeyer said it was
a great end.
“We always expect to be at the
top of the WBL just because of the
status of the program over the last
few years, but I mean, I think we
were all really happy with second,”
she said.
Dammeyer loved playing the
sport, and especially the feeling she
got after scoring. The other sports
she is involved in (cross country
and track) are more individuallyoriented, so she also appreciated
being part of a tightly-knit team
and sharing her experiences with
her teammates.
“I’ll miss being a part of the
team, playing the games, just the
experiences that you get to have,”
she said. “You can’t really find that
anywhere else.”
Dammeyer plans to attend OSU
in Columbus, where she hopes to
study biomedical science.

SQUELCHING HOME
ALLERGENS
Dear Readers: If you or
someone you know suffers
from allergies, here are a few
hints on how to cut down on
allergy triggers in YOUR
HOME and keep symptoms
to a minimum:
* When coming home,
remove shoes at the door to
avoid tracking outside allergens in.
* Remove carpets and rugs, if
possible, particularly in bedrooms. If not, vacuum several
times a week, and clean two
to three times a year.
* Use mattresses and pillows
that have a fitted allergy barrier to act as a protective
cover.
* Wash sheets and bedding
weekly, or more often, in hot
water if there is a dust-mite
allergy.
* Pet dander can be a source
of allergies, so give pets
baths at least once a week.
* Vacuum the entire home
regularly using a vacuum that
has a HEPA (high-efficiency
particulate air) filter.
* Houseplants such as spider
plants, English ivy and Boston ferns help with indoor
pollution.

HAGAR THE HORRIBLE
VHS-TAPE RECYCLING
Dear Heloise: Will you please
reprint your suggestion for
what to do with old VHS
tapes? -- Marilyn S., Palmyra,
Pa.
I am happy to reprint it for
you and my other readers.
This is a wonderful organization, worth cleaning out that
closet or drawer filled with old
tapes for! Plus, this is a twofor-one hint, one for the
employees and one for Mother Earth. Send your VHS
tapes to Alternative Community Training. ACT aids people with disabilities by providing employment opportunities
along with other services.
Employees recycle VHS
tapes and other electronic
products, such as CDs and
DVDs. The address is: Alternative Community Training
Inc., 2200 Burlington Street,
Columbia, MO 65202. If you
have questions, call ACT at
800-359-4607 and say that
Heloise sent you. -- Heloise
RETAIL
ZITS
STORING SPRAY PAINT
FAMILY CIRCUS
DENNIS THE MENACE
Dear Heloise: The best way
to store partially full cans of
spray paint is upside-down.
Turn the can upside down;
depress the nozzle until you
get only gas. Don’t turn the
can upright. Cap it and put it
on the shelf. When the can is
upside-down, the end of the
pickup tube will be in the gas
propellant. -- Frank P., Rosamond, Calif.
I love spray paint and rarely
have any leftover to store. -Heloise
KID SPACE
YOUR DAILY HOROSCOPE
For Monday, Dec. 16, 2013
Dear Heloise: Searching for a
desk for my son was difficult.
All of the options seemed too
small or childish. I had the
idea of getting an inexpensive but good-looking coffee
table to go with a small chair
for my son to work at. He
loves his new school and
craft area, and I love knowing
he has his own special space
for work. -- Annelise in Minnesota

ARIES (March 21 to April 19)
VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22)
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18)
Be patient with others today, because people have a short fuse due to tension building up before tomorrow’s Full Moon. Forewarned is forearmed.
As tension builds before tomorrow’s Full
Moon, you feel challenged to meet the
demands of home and family versus the
demands of your external world and your
career. Oh well, you can’t please everyone.
Squabbles with friends or people in a
group might become more intense today
as tomorrow’s Full Moon approaches. Best
to wait until Wednesday or Thursday to
settle.
TAURUS (April 20 to May 20)
Don’t overreact about financial matters and
cash flow, because in a few days you might
see things differently. Tomorrow’s Full
Moon highlights your money house.
LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22)
GEMINI (May 21 to June 20)
This is an accident-prone day for you,
because people are tense as feelings intensify and build up before tomorrow’s Full
Moon. Pay attention to everything you say
and do.
Tomorrow, the only Full Moon in your sign
all year is taking place, which is why you
feel at odds with others. Problems and
anxieties increase as the Full Moon occurs,
but after it peaks, these same problems
diminish or end.
Avoid money squabbles today and tomorrow, because you won’t get anywhere. Wait
a few days, until after the Full Moon peaks
tomorrow.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21)
CANCER (June 21 to July 22)
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21)
The Moon is your ruler, and you are emotionally aware of every Full Moon. Since
tomorrow is the Full Moon, naturally you
feel excitable and skittish today.
Tension between you and others is likely
today. Don’t let this get you down. The Full
Moon opposite your sign is going to take
place tomorrow.
LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22)
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19)
Difficulties between groups and friends
versus your relations with your kids or a
romantic partner are building up today.
Later in the week, everything will improve.
Avoid squabbles with employees, bosses
and customers. Everyone can feel a buildup of tension and heightened feelings
before tomorrow’s Full Moon.
PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20)
A classic dilemma of home and family versus career and your outer world is what
you feel building up now. Fortunately, this
tension will subside in about 48 hours.
YOU BORN TODAY You can pull off the
impossible. You amaze others. You have
big goals, and your fabulous imagination
helps you to attain these goals. Sometimes
you shut yourself away from society and
blitz whatever you’re doing to come up
with a result. You wisely do this to avoid
being distracted. Good news. Your year
ahead might be one of the most powerful
years of your life.

Parking
ordinance
to be clarified
By BRITTANY POWELL
Staff Writer
Cridersville — At
a regular village council meeting, concerned
Cridersville residents
brought council members' attention to a recreational vehicle parked
on their neighbor's property.
"Residents from the
community feel that
this individual is not following that ordinance,"
Cridersville Mayor Lorali Myers said. "There is an
opportunity for the language in that ordinance
to be clarified."
A planning meeting
has been set for discussion of the recreational
vehicle's
temporary
parking in the driveway, following a finance
meeting set for 7:30 p.m.
Wednesday.
"It will be determined
whether this needs to be
taken any further," Myers said.
During the planning
meeting, council mem-
bers will also discuss
the relocation of a large
flower pot currently located within the village.
Also during the regular meeting, Cridersville
Police Chief John Drake
announced the old police cruiser was sold for
$9,500 and the police
department is anticipating the new 2014 Ford
Police Intercepter SUV
in February.
"We try to upgrade
cars every 3-4 years,"
Drake said, noting the
price benefits of selling
a cruiser before adding
too many miles.
The next regular village council meeting is
scheduled into the new
year, on Jan. 13.
"Twenty-thirteen has
been another year of success for the village," Myers said. "We weathered
several weather events
that we certainly persevered and that makes us
a stronger community.
Council is wishing happy
holidays and we're looking forward to 2014."

Christmas caroling
Photo provided
A group of 35 young people from Faith Alliance Church in New Bremen came to St. Marys Living
Center Christmas caroling. The young people sang a variety of songs in main dining room to a
group of 30 residents then the children went up and down halls singing caroles to all. They even
stopped in rooms sharing with residents an angel ornament that they brought to give away. Residents were so excited to see all the happy faces, fun hats, and great singing by the children. Some
of children knew special people that live at St. Marys Living Center and took time to talk and visit.

Cats fall to St. Henry 51-41
By RANDY WILKER
Sports Correspondent
MINSTER — St. Henry
had its transition offense and
stifling defense clicking early
on Friday night and the Redkins then held off Minster
late for a 51-41 MAC-opening
win.
“Defensively we were very
happy with the performance
tonight,” Redskins head
coach Eric Rosenbeck said.
“The guys were flying around,
getting to the post and getting help. They were really
exhausting themselves and
everybody that we were running out there was playing
hard, but in the fourth quarter it was sloppy and I think
it was because we were tired
so we have to get in better
shape.”
St. Henry built an 18-point
shooting off of one dribble
and out of control feeds what
they could do offensively.”

I really don’t need any of
that since the three boxes
I have will last me a long
time, but others shoot
a lot, and if I had a surplus, I might shoot a little
more…or not.
It looks like this might
be a decent year for ice
fishing. Ice is on much
earlier than usual, and a
general snow cover helps
keep colder temperatures
around. Although our
average
temperatures
usually give us a short ice
fishing season, the sport
is really quite popular
on the canal lakes. St.
Marys had some surprising saugeye and walleye
fishing through the ice
last year. Lake Loramie
has excellent ice fishing
opportunites for both
panfish and saugeye, and
the same applies to Indian Lake. If you have an
ice fisherman in the family, area tackle shops can
provide gifts to fit any
budget. Tackle shops at
both Lake Loramie and
Indian Lake are wellstocked with ice fishing
supplies. For my Christmas stocking, ice cleats
come to mind. I’m a fair
weather fisherman, but
there are occasions when
I’d like to have a pair to
slip on since I’m not very
steady on any ice. That’s
a relatively inexpensive
gift. If I were to get into
ice fishing, there is no way
I would go without using
some sort of shelter. I saw
a number of light weight
portable shelters last
year that would provide
comfort no matter what
the weather. In terms of
expense, a good shelter
could be a bit pricey but,
in the long run, worth every penny.
If I were younger, I
would love to have another started hunting
dog. I owned two, and
they provided great enjoyment and companionship. However, a good
dog needs to hunt, and
that’s not very high on
my priority list. Besides,
I have a couple of rescue
dogs that I enjoy, for the
most part. A dog as a gift
is touchy, but it is a possibility.
I’ve had the opportunity to visit most of the
State Lodges and always
enjoyed my stay. What a
great gift. Getting away
for a couple of days to
enjoy the outdoors is special. The same applies to
the state campgrounds.
Many have small cabins for those who don’t
have campers. Fishing
charters also have merit.
Everyone always thinks
about Lake Erie and walleye fishing, but there are
also guides around the
state who will put you
onto a good muskie or
a giant catfish. Hunting
preserves provide opportunities that the typical
hunter would never experience. A half-day bird
hunt is far less expensive

Museum lights city
with Christmas cheer
By BRITTANY POWELL
Staff Writer
WAPAKONETA —
Locals may have noticed a
glow near the Armstrong
Air & Space Museum —
but it is not the usual illuminated moon.
The Armstrong Air
and Space museum is
alight with holiday spirit,
featuring its annual Holiday Light Display on the
grounds in front of the
museum.
"This is something
we've been working on
for four years," Museum
Executive Director Chris
Burton said.
For three weeks, Burton and the museum's
Maintenance Technician
Scott Walton were been
busy building the holiday
light display.
While neither are holiday decorating experts,
Burton said they spent a
lot of time deciding how
to lay out the lights over
the museum's rolling
landscape.
One of the main attractions, Burton said, are the
three "custom light sculptures," including figures
of a saluting astronaut,
Santa Claus, and a lunar
module.
The sculptures were
purchased from "Herman's Christmasland,"
the same store from which
the city's snowflake lights
were purchased.
"We tried to make the
display as unique as possible," Burton said, "with
all things you would see
at a space museum."
Some of the other
features of the light display include an inflatable
Snoopy on an airplane,
the planet Saturn, the
color spectrum, a planetarium and Apollo 8's
orbital path around the
moon and back to Earth.
"We tried to keep the
display connected to the
mission of the museum,"
Burton said.
But, of course, the
theme is still centered
around the holidays.
The display includes
25 illuminated metal
Christmas trees.
"We've had a lot of
comments that it looks
really nice," Burton said.
"A lot of cars stop and
look around."
The funds for the display mainly came from
the museum's operating budget, Burton said;
however, he has received
some funding through
private community donations.
"We've invested in this
a lot, and we want it to
continue," Burton said,
noting that the light display has grown for the
past four years. "We've already started to draw up
plans for next year."
Burton said he hopes
to add an 8 foot moon to
the display next year.
With there not being
many public buildings
known for their light displays in the area, Burton
said the goal was to attract
visitors to the museum
during the slow season.

To
Your
Good
Health
Citizens of the month
Dear
Abby
Abigail Van
Buren
Dr. Keith Roach,
M.D.
DEAR
DR.
ROACH: I am a
middle-age male in
generally good health;
I don’t take any prescription medications.
I have had three episodes of vertigo in
the past three years,
lasting from three to
12 days, including
one as I write this.
It sometimes can be
bad enough to make
me motion-sick just
from staggering across
a room. My doctor
prescribed meclizine,
which doesn’t help. I
think I’ve noticed a
pattern in the onset. It
seems to happen one
to 14 days after I get
my yearly flu shot.
Suspecting a connection, I’ve done a literature search. I could
only find a link between
flu vaccine and vertigo
reported by doctors
who seem to already
be critical of vaccines
and their manufacturers and who may have
an agenda. However,
when I peruse medical blogs, I have no
problem finding people with complaints
remarkably similar to
mine. We can’t all be
making false associations, can we? What
do you think? -- B.B.
ANSWER:
No,
you aren’t all making
false associations. Dizziness definitely has
been reported after
flu vaccines. However,
vertigo is common, flu
vaccines are common,
and sometimes they
will show up together
just by chance. So
some people may be
making an association
that is coincidence. In
your case, three episodes, all after the vaccine, starts to make me
think it is real in your
case. That being said,
the influenza vaccine
is very, very safe. The
rate of serious side effects from the vaccine
is about 1 or 2 per million doses.
DEAR
DR.
ROACH: Night sweats
may be due to medication. After reading my
prescription’s adverse
drug report, I realized
that taking Effexor
was the cause of my
excessive sweating. I
made changes. Years
ago, a similar problem
existed: Amitriptyline
caused my hair to fall
out! Then there was a
cough; again, it was the
medication. -- E.E.
ANSWER: I agree.
There is an old line: “If
it happens to a patient
in the hospital, you
did it to him.” It’s not
always true, but it underscores the fact that
our treatments always
have the potential for
side effects.

DEAR ABBY: I’m
16 and come from a
devout Roman Catholic family. My parents
have taken my brother
and me to church every Sunday without
fail my entire life. We
pray before meals, before school, at bedtime
and at other times every day. My room is
filled with religious
objects. As far as I
know, everyone else in
my extended family is
equally fervent.
My problem is, I
have never felt very religious. Since I was 10
I have challenged the
teachings of the church
and, as I mature into
adulthood, I’m beginning to identify as agnostic. When I told my
parents, at first they
were angry and disappointed. Then they
told me I was “just going through a phase.” I
know this is more than
a phase. It’s a personal
belief of mine they
have been trying to
bury my entire life.
I can’t continue letting them ignore the
real me. The stress of
constantly having to
lie to my parents about
my faith is tearing me
apart to the point that
it interferes with my
schoolwork and social
life. How can I convince them that this
isn’t a phase, and that
I’m not the Catholic
girl they want me to
be? If they continue to
refuse to acknowledge
my religious beliefs,
who can I turn to for
support? -- AGNOSTIC IN STOCKTON, CALIF.
DEAR AGNOSTIC: Your parents
should not have minimized your feelings by
saying they are only a
phase because it was
dismissive. That said,
you must not allow
their devout faith —
and your lack of it —
to become a contest of
wills or a basis for argument.
This is an important time in your life
with your parents as
you enter adulthood.
Thank them for the
great foundation they
have given you. Tell
them you hope they
will continue to love
you as you explore
what your beliefs are
on this spiritual journey -- because it IS a
journey.
DEAR ABBY: I’m
getting married next
year. I am very excited to be marrying
my fiance, a kind and
caring man. But I am
not at all excited to go
dress shopping. What
should I do? -- NOFRILLS GIRL IN
DAYTON, OHIO
DEAR
NOFRILLS GIRL: No
law says you must go
dress shopping for
your wedding if you
don’t want to. Tailor
your wedding to your
own tastes, and make it
simple and casual. It’s
your day, so do what
feels right for you.
