Thomas Kerrigan, 56, ofSidney, believes ShelbyCounty resi-dents needan “alterna-tive” candi-date forS h e l b yC o u n t yprosecutorand is run-ning as anindepend-ent for theoffice.Two other candidates have

already filed for the post, run-ning in the March primaryelection as Republicans. Theyare incumbent Ralph Bauerand Public Defender Tim Sell.There are reportedly no De-mocrat candidates.Kerrigan’s father, Thomas

Kerrigan Sr., served as prose-cutor from 1965 to 1972 andas Shelby County CommonPleas Court judge from 1985to 1990.A 1974 graduate of

Lehman Catholic High School

and a 1978 graduate of MiamiUniversity, Kerrigan gradu-ated from Ohio Northern Uni-versity College of Law in1981. He worked for StateFarm Insurance’s legal de-partment before returning toShelby County and workingin private practice with his fa-ther for a year. He is now sen-ior managing partner in thefirm Kerrigan, Boller, Beigeland Schneble.Kerrigan said he is running

in part because of changesSell would make to the officeif elected.“He’s indicated he would

move the office from where it'sbeen since 1981,” Kerrigansaid.Kerrigan said that if Sell

wins, some current prosecu-tor’s office employees wouldlose their jobs.“There are 10 families as-

sociated with the prosecutor’soffice.When I tell people whatwe get paid, they laugh,” hesaid.He said he doesn’t want to

The government doesn’thave a revenue problem, Rep.Jim Jordan,R-Urbana,told the Sid-ney DailyN e w sThursday. Ithas a spend-ing problem.The 4th

District rep-resentativeto Congresssaid the Budget and SpendingTask Force of the RepublicanStudy Committee, which hechaired, had put forth the onlybudget that “got to balance.”“We have tomake reforms to

Medicare or the program willgo broke and the country willgo broke,” he said. He addedthat he would “love to work

with the other side if they weredoing things to benefit Amer-ica.”The gridlock in Washington

“is never a personal thing withme,” he added. “I have a verygood friend, Dennis Kucinich,who sits on the other side of theaisle.”Jordan noted that the na-

tional debt is now equal to thegross domestic product, a situa-tion that has not been seen inthis country since the end ofWorldWar II.According to him,the government pays $231 bil-lion annually to service thedebt.He also said the Republican

Congress is doing its part to re-duce spending: Congressmenhave frozen their pay rates andcut the budgets they have withwhich to run their offices.“In 2010 — the latest year

we have figures for— the officefor the 4th District was thethird lowest in amount of

moneywe spent.We take (fiscalcontrol) seriously,” he said. “I’ma conservative with tax dollarswith how we run our office.”He, like his fellow party

members, feels strongly that achange in the White House isneeded at the end of the year.“The country can’t afford an-

other four years of BarackObama,” he said. “We have thewrong tax policy, thewrong reg-ulatory policy, the wrong en-ergy policy, the wrongmonetary policy, the wrong fis-cal policy.”He also thinks that Obama’s

recent appointment of RichardCordray to lead the ConsumerFinancial Protection Bureau is“highly suspect constitution-ally.“The Constitution is very

clear. Certain positions needSenate confirmation. I didn’tsupport the bill that createdthe position. With this presi-dent, we’ve seen all kinds of

things we never thought wewould see. I think it’s very dan-gerous, what he did.”Jordan is ready to endorse

whoever the Republican candi-date for president turns out tobe — unless it’s Ron Paul.“I don’t want Ron Paul to

win because I think he’s wrongon foreign policy,” the congress-man said.As he begins his campaign

for re-election, Jordan musttravel to new counties and newcities.The 4thDistrict has beenchanged as a result of a drop inOhio population, per the latestcensus. It now includes all orparts of 13 counties stretchingthrough Ohio from ShelbyCounty to Lake Erie.“It’s an opportunity to meet

new families, new people, newbusinesses. We’re all Ameri-cans. The new parts of the dis-trict are full of great people likehere in Shelby County,” Jordansaid.

BY PAUL WISEMANAssociated Press

WASHINGTON (AP) — Four painfulyears after the Great Recession struckand wiped out 8.7 million jobs, the UnitedStates may finally be in an elusive pat-tern known as a virtuous cycle — an es-calating loop of hiring and spending.The nation added 200,000 jobs in De-

cember in a burst of hiring that drove theunemployment rate down two notches to8.5 percent, its lowest in almost threeyears, and led economists to conclude thatthe improvement in the job market mightjust last.“There is more horsepower to this econ-

omy than most believe,” said Sung WonSohn, an economics professor at California

ShelbyCountyHumaneSociety,was first contacted bythe owner of the property in Port Jefferson.The horsewas owned by a renter on the property.ShelbyCountyDogWarden Cami Frey was also at the property andassisted the Humane Society.“We went up and looked at the horses about three

weeks ago,” said Lescowitch.“Dr.Michael Kleinhenz,aveterinarianwithTri-CountyVeterinary Service,wentto see the horse the day before we took it from theproperty.”The horse,Little Girl,was in rough shapewhen she

was picked upThursday.Her coatwas rough and soreswere visible.Her hip bones and rib cagewere very vis-ible as she was removed from property. She was leddown the lane and into a horse trailer by Lescowitch.The horsewas then taken toCamelot Farms nearVer-sailles.At this point the owner isn’t going to be charged be-

cause the horse was surrendered willingly. The otherfive horses on the property will be moved, but the hu-mane society will continue monitor the animals.“Now the horse is someplace warm where she can

get the food and attention she needs in order to sur-vive.The horsewould not havemade it throughout thewinter without our help,” said Lescowitch. “She is al-ready doing better and there are already three or fourpeople wanting the horse, which is a wonderful thing.It’s so hard to find good homes for critters, especiallya horse because it’s so large.”For now the horsewill remain at the farmnearVer-

sailles as it gainsweight and becomes healthy enoughto go to a new home.“It took all of us to get it accomplished and having

the Sheriff’s Office there helped resolve the situation,”said Lescowitch. “It was a good coordinated effort be-tween the Sheriff’s Office and the Humane Society.”

see people who havebeen loyal to the officelosing their jobs.“I was loyal to Mike

Boller, Jim Stevensonand Ralph Bauer,” Kerri-gan said of the currentand former prosecutorswhom he served as anassistant prosecutor.Kerrigan said he and

Bauer discussed his de-cision to run for the of-fice and “it’s not anissue.”Sell responded to Ker-

rigan's comments andtold the Sidney DailyNews he intends to “lookat the possibility of mak-ing it a part-time prose-cutor position as it’sbeen historically.”Responding Friday to

Kerrigan’s commentsabout staff cuts, Sellsaid, “The only certainthing I intend to do iskeep my right-handman, Bill ZimmermanJr.”Sell said it is his in-

tention to possibly makeZimmerman an assis-tant prosecutor.Referring to Bauer’s

current staff, Sell said,“The office has somefolks that would be in-valuable” but doesn’tknow who would stayshould he be elected.Sell stated he has

“been approached by lotsof different people” aboutrunning for the office“because of the waythings have gone down”and things “not handled

correctly” by the currentprosecutor’s office.“Lots of folks are em-

barrassed,” he said.Sell said he believes if

Kerrigan were to win,the prosecutor’s officewould be “business asusual.”“As it relates to Ralph

(Bauer) and Tom (Kerri-gan), my experience faroutdistances either oneof them,” Sell said.He said he is unsure if

he will move the officefrom its current location,noting that is among “lo-gistical things thatwould have to be deter-mined.”As an assistant prose-

cutor, Kerrigan said hehas “handled about 50different jobs in the pros-ecutor’s office.” He notedthat “felonies are themost important, but civilcases are very impor-tant. I’ve always been aprosecutor.”He said he has han-

dled cases includingwhite-collar crime, not-ing he handled the pros-ecution in the Van HornFuneral Home directorcase.“We got restitution for

every single victim,” hesaid.In that case, money

paid in advance for fu-neral services was mis-appropriated by thefuneral director.Kerrigan said he also

handled a case involvingShelby Memory Gar-

dens, helping to get itcleaned up.Kerrigan has also rep-

resented the ShelbyCounty Treasurer’s Of-fice.“We try to keep people

in their homes, but wetry to collect,” he said ofdelinquent taxes.He said they have col-

lect $1 million in delin-quent taxes each year.Kerrigan said Shelby

County is one of the sixworst counties in Ohiofor foreclosures and saidhe is working to dealwith predatory lenderswho are taking advan-tage of homeowners.He said one of his

main concerns is victimsof crime.“It’s their case,” he

said. “If you’re a prosecu-tor, you represent thecase. But you must al-ways be mindful of thevictim.”Kerrigan said he

would be a “full-time”prosecutor. He plans toattend citizens groupmeetings in the area toaddress issues and con-cerns of local residents.Kerrigan has two

daughters from a previ-ous marriage — Lauren,25, a school teacher inColumbus, and Katie, 23,an Ohio University sec-ond-year medical stu-dent. He and his wife,Pam, have a son — TreyThomas III, 13, who at-tends Holy AngelsSchool.A member of Holy An-

gels Catholic Church,Kerrigan said he is pro-life.Kerrigan’s name will

COLUMBUS (AP) — The Ohio Supreme Courthas set Feb. 3 as the final date for filings in a Dem-ocratic lawsuit challenging the new map of stateHouse and Senate districts.That’s just over a month before the state’s March

6 primary. It’s unclear whether the state’s highestcourt will want to hear oral arguments in the caseor when it might rule on the question of whetherthe boundary lines are constitutional.The lawsuit was filed Wednesday on behalf of

voters. Democrats in the state House and Ohio Sen-ate claim that Republicans who led the map-draw-ing process split up communities in violation of theOhio Constitution.The Columbus Dispatch reports Republicans say

the maps are on solid legal ground. They chargethat Democrats are trying to muddy up the 2012elections.

COLUMBUS (AP) —The state should trans-fer mentally ill juvenileinmates to psychiatricfacilities as soon as pos-sible and find money fortheir treatment, accord-ing to a new report onthe status of Ohio’syouth prison system.The Department of

Youth Services holdssome of the most acutelymentally ill youth in thestate, who would betransferred to more ap-propriate psychiatrictreatment facilities ifthey were hospitalizedor in other settings out-side detention, the re-port said.The report filed in

federal court Thursdayalso said repeatedlyplacing mentally illyouth in seclusion af-fects decisions aboutwhether they should beheld beyond the end oftheir sentences.Under a court settle-

ment, Youth Servicesmust “strive to preventdeterioration or exacer-

bation of mental healthsymptoms and needlessisolation for behaviorscaused by mental healthissues,” according to thereport by court-ap-pointed monitors WillHarrell and TerrySchuster.Youth Services and a

state interagency com-mittee on mental healthand juvenile justice arelooking at long-termfixes. Thursday’s reportraised the point of moreimmediate action.The state said it “pro-

vides comprehensive be-havioral health services”to youth including twomental health units forboys and one for girls,each staffed with full-time psychologists andsocial workers, accord-ing to DYS spokes-woman Andrea Kruse.Ohio has procedures

to move mentally ill of-fenders to psychiatrichospitals, Kruse said,but added: “because ofthe violent behavior thatmany of the youth pres-ent, it is often difficult tofind placement.”The report is the

third annual summary

reviewing Youth Serv-ices’ efforts to makeprisons safer following a2004 lawsuit that al-leged a culture of vio-lence.Much has changed

since that lawsuit, asthe state has closed sev-eral detention facilitiesand the population hassunk to about 600 in-mates, almost all boys.But violence continuesin the system.Most juvenile offend-

ers in Ohio are now heldin county-run facilitiesaround the state in anattempt to keep themcloser to family andaway from a prison-likeatmosphere that couldincrease the chances ofthem committing morecrimes.As a result, the juve-

niles who end up instate custody are amongthe toughest youthful of-fenders in Ohio. They’reolder — an average ageof nearly 18 — and servesentences now averag-ing more than a year.This has created new

challenges for the statein its attempt to treatthem.

COLUMBUS (AP) — A school inOhio has apologized for a song withexplicit lyrics that was played be-tween girls basketball games.An assistant coach for a rival team

tells The Columbus Dispatch that“everybody in the gym” at St. FrancisDeSales High School heard the N-word Wednesday in the song “TopBack” by rapper T.I.DeSales Principal Dan Garrick

says the usual music was not avail-able so a student at the Columbus

school provided her own tunes thathad not been preapproved.Garrick says only a short portion of

the song was played, but he says theepisode still showed poor judgment.The girl has been disciplined in an

undisclosed manner. And the schoolwill now insist that all music becleared by the coach and athletic di-rector.

CINCINNATI (AP) —The Cincinnati HealthDepartment has lostcontrol of nearly$737,000 in annualgrant money for curbingsexually transmitteddiseases because thestate says it has done apoor job of preventionand administration.The city health de-

partment has receivedgrants for those pro-grams for decades, butthe 2012 grants wereawarded to the PublicHealth Department ofDayton andMontgomeryCounty with the stipula-tion that 90 percent of itgoes to HamiltonCounty, which includesCincinnati, state healthdepartment officials saidFriday.The state’s decision to

make the change wasbased on Cincinnati fail-ing to get passing scoreson reviews of its grantapplications,The Cincin-nati Enquirer reported.

The city was faultedfor various things, in-cluding having no im-provement plan to reduceSTDs and measurewhether efforts were suc-ceeding, Tessie Pollock, aspokeswoman for theOhio Department ofHealth, said Friday. Shesaid scoring is only partof the review.State reviewers also

noted that the city’s ap-plications included toolittle detail about targetpopulations, too little ex-planation on how casemonitoring could im-prove and no detailsabout how a social mediacampaign would workthis year.The city was such a

poor steward of themoney that there wasn’ta way to justify usingtaxpayer dollars to putmoney back into thehands of the department,said William McHugh,the Ohio Department ofHealth’s division of pre-

vention chief.“It’s gotten so bad in

the last few years wehad no choice but to finda new partner to addressthe problem,” McHughsaid.Cincinnati Health

Commissioner NobleMaseru has disputednearly everything in thereview, pledging to fightthe grant loss thatMcHugh has said isfinal. Departmentspokesman Rocky Merzsaid the city’s legal de-partment is reviewingthe denial and that cityofficials believe thegrant loss will have anegative impact on pub-lic health.“Our department is

doing great work,”Maseru said in a state-ment Friday. “The statehas placed us in an ex-tremely difficult situa-tion.”

Lovell sellschecklist

NATION/WORLD Sidney Daily News,Saturday, January 7,2012

MIAMI (AP) — NASAis questioning whetherApollo 13 commanderJames Lovell has the rightto sell a 70-page checklistfrom the flight that in-cludes his handwrittencalculations that were cru-cial in guiding the dam-aged spacecraft back toEarth.The document was sold

by Heritage Auctions inNovember for more than$388,000, some 15 timesits initial list price. Thechecklist gained greatfame as part of a key dra-matic scene in the 1995film “Apollo 13” in whichactor Tom Hanks playsLovell making the calcula-tions.After the sale, NASA

contacted Heritage to askwhether Lovell had title tothe checklist. Greg Rohan,president of Dallas-basedHeritage, said Thursdaythe sale has been sus-pended pending the out-come of the inquiry. Thechecklist, he said, is beingstored for now in the com-pany’s vault.

State University, Channel Islands. “The stars are aligned rightfor a meaningful economic recovery.”It was the sixth month in a row that the economy added at

least 100,000 jobs, the longest streak since 2006.The economyadded jobs every month last year, the first time that has hap-pened since 2005.And the unemployment rate, which peaked at 10 percent

in October 2009 and stood at 9.1 percent in August, has fallenfour months straight. It was 8.7 percent in November.If economics textbooks and the best hopes of millions of un-

employed Americans are confirmed, the virtuous cycle may beunder way, which would suggest the job market will continueto strengthen.When people are hired, they have more money to spend.

The means greater demand for goods and services and resultsin businesses hiring even more people. That results in evenmore spending and leads to even more hiring.That would be the reverse of the vicious cycle that took hold

during the Great Recession. People lost jobs and spent less, sobusinesses rang up less sales and were forced to lay off morepeople. That led to even less spending and more layoffs.“The labor market is healing,” said Diane Swonk, chief

economist at Mesirow Financial. She cautioned that “we stillhave a long way to go — years — to recoup the losses we haveendured.”Indeed, the economy added 1.6 million jobs for all of 2011.

That is better than the 940,000 added during 2010. In 2009,the most bruising year of the Great Recession, the nation lostmore than 5 million.But it will take 6 million more jobs to get the United States

back to what it had in December 2007, when the recessionbegan. Economists forecast the nation will add almost 2 mil-lion this year.The unemployment report was the first to be released since

Republicans across the country began voting to determine acandidate to face President Barack Obama this fall in an elec-tion that will turn on the economy.Obama appears bound to face voters with the highest un-

employment rate of any president running for re-electionsince World War II. Unemployment was 7.8 percent whenObama took office.

WASHINGTON (AP) —The political tensions betweenthe U.S. and Iran over transitin and around the PersianGulf gave way Friday to pho-tos of rescued Iranian fisher-man happily wearingAmerican Navy ball caps.The fishermen were res-

cued by a U.S. Navy destroyerThursday, more than 40 daysafter their boat was comman-deered by suspected Somalipirates in the northern Ara-bian Sea. The rescue camejust days after Tehran warnedthe U.S. to keep its warshipsout of the Persian Gulf — anirony not lost on U.S. officialswho trumpeted the news onFriday.“We think it’s very doubtful

that the Iranians or the pi-rates were aware of recentevents of the last couple days,”Rear Adm. Craig S. Faller,commander of the U.S. NavyCarrier Strike Group involvedin the rescue, told reporters byphone Friday. “Once we re-leased them (the fishermen)today they went on their wayvery happily, I might add,waving to us wearing USSKidd Navy ball caps.”Faller, speaking from the

aircraft carrier USS John C.Stennis in the Arabian Sea,said the fishermen, who hadbeen living off the fish theycould catch, expressed their

thanks and are believed to beheaded back to their home-port in Iran.The rescue was carried out

by American forces flying offthe guided-missile destroyerUSS Kidd, after crew on theIranian fishing vessel, the AlMolai, made it clear they werein trouble.The USS Kidd, part of the

Stennis carrier group, wassailing in the Arabian Sea,after leaving the Persian Gulf,when it came to the sailors’aid. It was alerted to thehostage situation when thecaptain of the fishing boatspoke by radio to the Ameri-cans in Urdu — a Pakistanidialect that he hoped the pi-rates near him would not un-derstand — and managed toconvey that he needed help.A U.S. Navy team heli-

coptered to the ship, boardedit without any resistance, anddetained 15 suspected Somalipirates. They had been hold-ing the 13-member Iraniancrew hostage and were usingthe boat as a “mother ship” forpirating operations in the Per-sian Gulf.“They were scared,” U.S.

Navy Cmdr. Jennifer L.Ellinger, commander of theUSS Kidd, said of the Irani-ans. “They pleaded with us tocome over and board theirvessel, invited us to come over.And we reassured them thatwe would be on our way.”Amid escalating tensions

with Tehran, the Obama ad-ministration reveled in deliv-ering the news.“This is an incredible story.

This is a great story,” StateDepartment spokeswomanVictoria Nuland said, explain-ing that the very same Amer-

ican ships the Islamic repub-lic protested for recently trav-eling through the Strait ofHormuz were responsible forthe Iranian vessel’s recovery.“They were obviously very

grateful to be rescued fromthese pirates,” Nuland said.

LIMA, Peru (AP) — Joranvan der Sloot appears ready toaccept responsibility for thekilling of a Peruvian womanfive years to the day after thedisappearance inAruba of U.S.teen Natalee Holloway, forwhich he remains the primesuspect.The Dutch citizen sought

and received more time to de-cide how to plead as his trialopened Friday in the May 30,2010, murder of 21-year-oldStephany Flores,whom hemetat a Lima casino.He said he was inclined to

confess but doesn’t accept theaggravated murder charges

the prosecution seeks.The presiding magistrate of

the three-judge panel,VictoriaMontoya, said the trial wouldresume Jan. 11.When asked moments ear-

lier byMontoya to enter a plea,Van der Sloot answered inSpanish:“I want to give a sincere

confession but I don’t agreewith all the aggravating fac-tors the prosecutor is puttingonme.Can I havemore time tothink about this?”The 24-year-old Dutch citi-

zen had repeatedly shaken hishead as the prosecutor de-scribed for the judges howVander Sloot allegedly “brutally”beat and strangled the victimin his Lima hotel room, in-

tending to rob her.Van der Sloot long ago ad-

mitted to police that he killedFlores, a business administra-tion student.But he claimed in that con-

fession that it was in a fit ofrage after she discovered onhis laptop Van der Sloot’s con-nection to Holloway’s disap-pearance on Aruba, theCaribbean island where hewas raised. Police forensic ex-perts have disputed that ver-sion of events.Defense attorney Jose Luis

Jimenez told The AssociatedPress before the hearing thatthere was a 70 percent chanceVan der Sloot would pleadguilty, which could help himget a reduced sentence.

BEIRUT (AP)—A bomb ex-ploded Friday at a busy Dam-ascus intersection, killing 25people and wounding dozens inthe second major attack in theSyrian capital in as manyweeks, officials said, vowing torespond to further securitythreats with an “iron fist.”The government blamed

“terrorists,” saying a suicidebomber had blown himself upin the crowded Midan district.But the country’s opposition de-manded an independent inves-tigation, accusing forces loyal tothe Syrian regime of being be-hind the bombing to tarnish a10-month-old uprising againstPresident Bashar Assad.“Is there anything worse

than these crimes?” saidMajidaJomaa, a 30-year-old housewifewho ran to the streets afterhearing the explosion around11 a.m. “Is this freedom?”It was impossible to deter-

mine the exact target of theblast, but a police bus was rid-dled with shrapnel and bloodwas splattered on its seats, ac-cording to Syrian TV video anda government official. Blood

also stained the street, whichwas littered with shatteredglass.The bomber “detonated him-

self with the aim of killing thelargest number of people,” Inte-rior Minister MohammedShaar told reporters. Statemedia said most of the deadwere civilians but securityforces were also among them.Midan is one of severalDam-

ascus neighborhoods that haveseen frequent anti-Assadprotests on Fridays since theuprising began in March, in-spired by the revolutionsaround the Arab world.The violence marks a dra-

matic escalation of bloodshed inSyria asArabLeague observerstour the country to investigateAssad’s bloody crackdown ondissent.Themonitoringmissionwill issue its first findings Sun-day at a meeting in Cairo.In a statement, the Interior

Ministry vowed to respond toany security threats with an“iron fist.”Syria’s state media, SANA,

put the initial death toll at 25and more than 60 wounded.The death toll included 10 con-firmed dead and the remains ofan estimated 15 others whosebodies had yet to be identified.

Lipstickremoval

fromcarpetingDear

H e -loise: Ir e a dy o u rcolumne v e r yd a yand ams u r eyou canh e l pme out.I am ind i r eneed to know how to getlipstick out of very thickcarpet. It is rather darklipstick. I tried ice, andthat seemed to spread iteven more on the carpet.It is rather new carpet, Irent my apartment, andI am terribly upset aboutit. Thanks very much,Heloise! — Marilyn, viaemail

Marilyn, happy tohelp. Sorry, but ice is notthe answer, as you foundout. That is for candlewax. Lipstick is mostlikely greasy or oily, al-though new formula-tions may not be. Here ismy hint: Treat the lip-stick stain with aSMALL amount of dry-cleaning solvent (findthis in the laundry-sup-ply area at the store) orprewash spray, using aclean cloth. Rinse, andblot thoroughly.

Keep in mind for thefuture that there arethree rules of stain re-moval: SOON, SLOWand SEVERAL. Work onthe stain as soon as pos-sible, work on it slowly,and several tries may beneeded. Good luck. —Heloise

PET PALDear Readers: Geor-

giann Eikenbary in Lib-eral, Kan., sent a pictureof her Maine coon cat,Quin, and her other cat,Ursula, who has seventoes on one front pawand eight toes on theother! Georgiann says:“I’m so glad I had mycamera ready when Isaw these two! They loveto ‘play fight’ with eachother, then they make upby lying really close toeach other.” To see Quinand Ursula, go towww.Heloise.com andclick on “Pets.”— Heloise

LAP AFGHANDear Heloise: I read

your column in theMontgomery (Ala.) Ad-vertiser. I enjoy crochet-ing, but sometimes havea partial skein of yarnleft over. I use it to make“lapghans” (smallafghans for the lap —Heloise). I start with anycolor and use it till itruns out. It doesn’t mat-ter if it’s in the middle ofthe row or at the end. Iam careful in choosingwhat colors to put nextto each other so they willblend well and matchyarn types.

When finished, I havea lapghan that can beused by someone in awheelchair to help keephis or her legs warm. Iput them in gift bagsand take them to thelocal nursing home to begiven to patients. I sew ablank name label on thelapghan so the nursinghome can put the nameof the recipient on it. Ihave made good use ofmy leftover yarn andgiven a nice surprise tosomeone! — P., via email

Girl should dump boyfriend who uses LSDDR. WAL-

LACE: I’m 19and dating aguy I work withwho is 21. I likethe guy. He isgood-looking,funny and in-telligent. Hesmokes pot reg-ularly, butthat’s no bigdeal to me. Healso uses LSD.Twice hefreaked out and I had todrive his car to his house andthen call my roommate topick me up.

When I try to find outabout the legal ramificationsof possessing or selling LSD,he tells me it’s no big deal.Somehow I think it is. Infor-mation on LSD will be ap-preciated. What exactly isLSD? —Nameless, Phoenix,Ariz.

NAMELESS: LSD waschemically created by a

Swiss doctor to treat hu-mans with a variety ofmental disorders, but itnever was used for anymedical purpose. The doc-tor accidentally injected asmall amount of LysergicAcid Diethylamide andhallucinated. He saw,heard and smelled thingsthat were not actuallythere. This accident hap-pened in the 1930s.

Even though the drugLSD was considered un-

successful for medical pur-poses, the “tune in, turn onand drop out” culture discov-ered the drug in the early1960s. The effects were sodevastating that legislaturespassed drug laws in the mid-1960s making LSD an illegaldrug. Using or selling it re-sults in a fine and time be-hind bars.

The psychological effectsof the drug are devastatingbecause it alters the mannerin which the senses send sig-

nals to the brain. Thoseunder the influence of LSDhave gross distortions of im-ages (users have crawled outof upper story windows be-lieving the ground was rightbeneath them).

I could go on and on aboutLSD and the dangers it offersto the users. This guy is aloser. Dump him immedi-ately.

DR. WALLACE: I’m 17and the guy I was dating is18. We had been dating foralmost a year. We had greattimes together and I thoughtthat I loved him and that hefelt the same about me. Be-fore Christmas, he told methat he had met another girland that he was going to beseeing her instead of me. Hestarted to tell me where hemet her, but I wasn’t inter-ested.

Our relationship is history,but I have a miserable feel-ing knowing that I was

dumped by my boyfriend. My mom keeps telling me

that I will “eventually” getover my lost love.

I’d like your definition of“eventually.” — Nameless,Goshen, Ind.

NAMELESS: “Eventu-ally” arrives when anotherguy asks you out and you sayyes! So do not sit at homeand mope — get involved inactivities and you’ll soon beback in circulation.

Dealing with leg cramps

Daughter bears burden of parents’ unhappiness

DEAR DR.DONOHUE: Ihope you can helpme with a prob-lem that mightget me kicked offthe first string. Iget cramps in mylegs,mostly in thecalves. At first, itwas laughable.Now it’s not. Atpractices, I can sitdown and wait forthe cramp to go.During a game, Ihave to be replaced. Howdo I stop them?— B.L.

ANSWER: I have totell readerswhat I say ap-plies to exercise-associ-ated muscle cramps andnot to the cramps that somany older people getwhen in bed.They’re boththe same phenomenon,aninvoluntary, sustainedand painful contraction ofa muscle or muscles. Butthey’re not the samewhen

it comes to the sit-uation that bringsthem on.The actual

cause is a matterthat experts havedebated for years.A lack of potas-sium, calcium ormagnesium, ex-cessive exercise,cold weather, hotweather and de-hydration havebeen cited as pos-sible causes.None

has been proven to be theuniversal cause. Musclefatigue is another possi-bility. Some experts saythatmuscle fatigue affectsthe muscles’ response tospinal cord signals thatprevent cramping.Suggestions to forestall

cramps are many. Hydra-tion is a reasonable ap-proach. An hour before agame or an exercise ses-sion, drink a quart of

water. That gives enoughtime for the water to beabsorbed. During play,keep drinking. If you aredrinking a lot of fluid,switch to a sports drink toprevent a drop in potas-sium and sodium. Stretchyour calf muscles in threedaily sessions. Rising onthe toes is a good calfstretch.You can try takinga vitamin supplementthat contains most of theB vitamins.Make sure vi-tamin B-6 is included.To uncramp a muscle,

sit on the floorwith the in-volved leg stretched out infront of you.Grab the ballof the foot, and, whilekeeping the heel on thefloor, pull the foot towardyou and hold it in that po-sition until the crampeases.Pinching the skin be-

tween the nose and the lipis another way to break acramp.

DEAR DR. DONO-HUE: What’s your opin-ion onmassage? I starteda bodybuilding programwith two friends, and wego at it quite ferociously.We’re over the firstweeks of muscle sore-ness. One of my friendsgets amassage after eachsession. He talked meinto joining him. I did,and it worked wondersfor me. — K.C.

ANSWER: I’m all formassage. It has found anhonored place in sportsmedicine. It loosens tightmuscles. It increasesblood flow to exhaustedmuscles and helps replen-ish their exhausted storesof fuel. In the sameway, itcarts away waste prod-ucts generated by heavyexercise.The fact that you find it

does wonders for you isenough reason to con-tinue.

DEAR ABBY:A few days ago,my mom told methat if itwasn’tfor me, she andmy dad would bedivorced. Shealso said that thelast few yearswith my dadhave been terri-ble. I feel soguilty about this,knowing that I’mthe reason my parentsare unhappy.I barely slept the

night my mom told methis, but actually, it allmakes sense. Now Iknow why my parentsyell at me for no reasonand why I get in troublefor no reason. Abby,please help me. How do Itell my mom how itmade me feel? — FEELSGUILTY IN GEORGIA

DEAR FEELSGUILTY: Your mother

was wrong to saythat you are theonly reason sheand your fatherhave stayedmarried. Theyare together forreasons of theirown that havelittle or nothingto do with you.You are not re-sponsible fortheir unhappi-

ness.Your parents appear

to be under a lot of pres-sure right now, whichmay be why their tem-pers are frayed.Before discussing this

with your mother, itmight help to talk aboutwhat happened with an-other adult relative youtrust. However, if thereis no one else, clip thisletter, show it to yourmother and tell her youwrote it.

DEAR ABBY: I am a20-year-old woman witha problem I’m not surehow to solve. I am 30pounds overweight (Ihave been heavyset mywhole life). My mom andI have been walking to-gether for years, talkingand enjoying each other’scompany as we go.For a while, we were

both losing weight consis-tently as a result of ourwalks. But since my par-ents’ divorce three yearsago, Mom has had towork full-time and isn’table to walk with me asoften.I want to continue

walking to lose weight soI can be healthier andfeel better about myself.But I feel I will be betray-ing my mom by not in-cluding her. Walkingtogether has been ourtradition, so I don’t knowhow she’ll feel if I con-

tinue to walk without her.What should I do? —STEPPING LIGHTLY

DEAR STEPPINGLIGHTLY:Get out thereand continue walking —with headphones or withfriends. Exercise withyourmother onweekendsif she’s available, and en-courage her to do somewalking on her own dur-ing her lunch hour.The only thing you

should NOT do is quitwalking because you feelguilty that you and yourmother are now on differ-ent “paths.”

Sidney trailed by eight atthe half, but an inspired effortin the second half by TyreeManley and the game-longplay of sophomore PatwaunHudson led the Jackets totheir first win of the seasonFriday night, 62-53 overarchrival Piqua.The win puts the Jackets at

1-8 on the season and 1-3 inthe Greater Western OhioConference North going intoaction tonight at Greenville.Piqua, now 3-6, was trying

to remain unbeaten in theGWOC North, but falls to 2-1.“It was fun, a real fun

game,” said Sidney’s first-yearcoach Greg Snyder.The Jackets were up 19-17

late in the second quarter,only to see the Indiansoutscore them 10-2 to end theperiod with a 27-19 lead.“We weren’t running our

best offense in the first half,but we were getting shots,”said Snyder. “We looked at thekids, and said if we’re going towin, we need somebody tostep up. And Tyree and Pat-waun really did.”Manley came out deter-

mined in the third quarterand not only kept the Jacketsin the game, but helped themovertake the Indians.After scoring just one point

in the first half, Manleypoured in 14 in the third quar-ter alone, which ended withthe two teams deadlocked.“I almost took Tyree out of

the game in the first 15 sec-onds of the third quarter,” saidSnyder. “But what happenedis that we moved the ball sowell, and we got it to Tyreeagainst a defender who washaving trouble guarding him.He hit some outside shots, buthe also did a great job of tak-ing it to the basket.”Hudson, meanwhile, was

on his way to a big night forthe Jackets, and he drained athree and a two around aPiqua free throw to open thefinal period and give the Jack-ets a 48-44 lead, their biggestof the night at that point.“Patwaun was just phe-

nomenal,” Snyder said. “In allaspects of the game. He madebig shots and free throws, buthe was also the floor generaland played great defense onthe kid that was hurting us.”Piqua hit three free throws

to cut the lead to one, butManley hit two straight andPiqua countered with just onebucket to make it 52-49.After a Piqua turnover,

Hudson drained anotherthree to make it real tough onthe Indians, the score stand-ing at 55-49 with just 1:30 re-maining.At the other end, Piqua had

four shots at the bucket but

couldn’t convert, and Hudsonadded a free throw to make it aseven-point gamewith 1:05 left.After a Piqua bucket, he

added two more free throws toput the verdict away.Hudson finished with 28

points and hit five three-pointers. He was also 5-for-6from the free throw line.Manley, meanwhile, gave

the Jackets a solid one-twopunch, finishing with 19, 18 ofthose in the second half.The Jackets had to over-

come a big advantage at thefree throw line for the Indi-ans. Piqua attempted 34 freethrows to Sidney’s 15, andheld a 22-10 margin in pointsfrom the line.“I just feel so great for the

kids,” Snyder summed up. “Iknow that sometimes teamsin our situation keep workinghard and working hard andget no reward. But these kidscertainly deserved it. I don’tthink Piqua lost the game. Ithink we won the game.”

SIDNEY’S PATWAUN Hudson goes up for a shot in first-halfaction against Piqua Friday night.

JACKSON CENTER —Jackson Center’s Alex Meyerhas explicit instructions everynight out — keep shooting.And fortunately for the

Tigers, he listens.Meyer wasn’t alone in his

offensive struggles in the firsthalf, when Jackson scored just11 points, nine by Andy Hoy-ing. But he had just the onebucket.However, in the second

half, he rescued the Tigers,who were trying to remainunbeaten and finish thefirst half of the County boysbasketball schedule a per-fect 6-0.Meyer poured in 22 of his

game-high 24 points after theintermission, but the Tigersstill had to hold off a deter-mined Anna squad in a low-scoring 39-35 verdict hereFriday night.The win puts the Tigers at

8-0 overall with Waynesfieldcoming to town tonight.Anna falls to 4-5 on the

year and travels to MarionLocal tonight.“It took Alex a while to get

going,” said Jackson coachScott Elchert. “He was insome foul trouble in the firsthalf and only had the onebucket. We didn’t do anythingdifferent in the second half.He just started knocking

down shots. We tell him tokeep shooting, and he’s capa-ble of doing what he didtonight.”In spite of Meyer’s second-

half explosion, the Tigers hadtheir hands full the entireway with the Rockets, wholed 14-11 at the half despitebeing shut out in the secondquarter.The third quarter heated

up immediately, with Meyerand Anna’s Jay Meyer drain-ing three-pointers for a 19-19game with 4:00 left in the pe-riod.Anna was able to maintain

the lead after three at 22-21.Hoying hit two free throws

to pull Jackson even at 25-25with 4:18 left in the game,then Meyer scored for theTigers to make it 27-25.Jay Meyer, however, hit an-

other three to put Anna in thelead, and after Alex Meyer hita three to make it 30-28,Anna’s Derek Gephart hit athree to make it 31-30.But Jackson came down

and got another three fromMeyer for a 33-31 lead andwhen freshman Gavin Wil-dermuth hit a pair of freethrows with 1:03 left, it was35-31. The Tigers didn’t giveup the lead again.

Sidney Daily News, Saturday, January 7, 2012

(UMS) – Everyone hates high heat bills. But we’re all sick and tired of turning the thermostat down and freezing our buns off.

That’s why Sears knew they had a home-run on their hands with the first-ever low-cost appliance with Hybrid-Thermic™ heat tech-nology. And no other heater any-where has it.

The brand-new portable L.E.D. Heat Surge HT sips so little energy, you can run it for a full 12-hour day or night for just about a buck.

This modern marvel, hailed as the zone heating ‘Miracle Heater,’ caused such a frenzy at Sears stores, one shopper refused to leave until she got one. Since there were none in stock, store managers were forced to hand over the store’s only floor model, against store policy.

So today, immediate action is being taken to give more people, more ways to get them.

Beginning at 8:30 a.m., today’s readers are allowed to phone in or snag one online. Heat Surge even posted a 2-Day Double Coupon which has been reprinted on this page for today’s readers to use.

By using this coupon, everyone who calls is being rewarded with $227. That makes this remarkable new home appliance a real steal at just $299. Since this is a Double Coupon Deal, it not only gives you an extraordinary discount, but also entitles you to free shipping and handling, totaling $227 off. So now everyone has a fair shot at getting one.

“Folks are saving money every-where by zone heating with the new Heat Surge HT,” said Kris Rumel, the company’s analyst tracking the impact Heat Surge is having on con-sumer heat bills.

This all started when Sears wanted the world-famous ‘Amish Miracle Heater’ that everyone was asking for.

The shy but now famous Amish craftsman said Sears made the most sense. “I’d reckon they’re the oldest and most trusted in the coun-try,” one of the Amish craftsmen known as Melvin said.

“We’ve been saving folks money, big money. And we know it because we’re hearin’ about it,” he said.

“They know about our quality. No particle board, just real wood. Fully-assembled cabinets by our hands and we’re making them right here in the good ole USA,” Melvin said.

Director of Technology David Martin explained, “The Heat Surge HT is a revolutionary appli-ance that can easily roll from room to room. But we didn’t want it to look like some metal box that just sits there. So we turned to our Amish craftsmen and now each one is made to look like a sleek, slim fireplace that has no real flames.”

“The peaceful f licker of the ‘Fireless Flame’ is so beautiful, everyone thinks it’s real, but it’s totally safe to the touch. All you do is just plug it in,” Martin said.

People from Maine to Mississippi and even Florida and Arizona are flocking to get them because they are finally able to give their central heat a rest during this long, frigid winter.

According to the avalanche of consumer reviews, people absolutely swear by them, repeatedly saying, “it saves money,” “looks beautiful,” and “keeps you warm head to toe, floor to ceiling.” And the word is getting out. That’s why people are clamoring to get them.

But Martin said right now the real problem is making sure the Amish craftsmen can keep up with the lin-gering winter rush.

That’s why the Double Coupon expires in two days.

So for readers hoping to get the new Heat Surge for themselves and take care of gifts for others, there is good news.

You can use the 2-Day Double Coupon more than once. But there is a catch. You can only get away with it for the next two days from the date of today’s publication by call-ing the National Appliance Center at 1-800-618-8510.

Then, when it arrives, you’ll be rushing to turn down that thermo-stat. Just plug it in, watch your heat bills hit rock bottom, and never be cold again.

GOTTA HAVE ONE: People are flocking to Sears stores everywhere to get the brand-new Heat Surge HT. An eager crowd remained respectful as Jonas Miller stages a promotional delivery event. “I heard so much about the Amish Miracle Heater but couldn’t find where to get one,” an excited Mary Straughn said. That’s why a National Appliance Hotline has been set up for today’s readers who can’t rush out to get one. Readers who call the Hotline at 1-800-618-8510 will get free delivery with an extraordinary 2-Day Double Coupon that has been reprinted below.

How It Works: You get 74º of bone-soothing room heat even when the home thermostat is turned down to 59º with the first-ever Heat Surge HT

BLANKET FREE COMFORT: “We just couldn’t take another winter of always being cold. And we also got one for the kids to help them with their heat bills,” Julia White said.

An avalanche of unsolicited consumer reviews gives the company the reason to boast an overwhelming Consumer ‘Best Buy’ on the HeatReport.com website. Consumers should be aware of the fakes out there. This Hybrid-Thermic ‘Miracle Heater’ can never be found at Wal-Mart®, not at Lowe’s®,

not at Home Depot®, and none of the Club Stores. “Accept no imitations. If it does not have the Heat Surge name on it, it is not real Amish and it is not Hybrid-Thermic™. I repeat, if it does not have the Heat Surge name on it, you are getting ripped off,” said Heat Surge Chief Compliance Officer, Bob Knowles. The Heat Surge has earned the coveted Underwriters Laboratories certification and is protected by a limited full year replacement or money back warranty and 30-day Satisfaction Guarantee.

Public lines up for new low-cost appliance that slashes heat billsAmish craftsmen vow to keep up with rush for brand-new Hybrid-Thermic™ ‘Miracle Heater’ that uses about the same energy as a coffee maker per hour, so just plug it in and never be cold again

MODERN MARVEL: The revolutionary Heat Surge HT micro-furnace fits in any room because it’s packed inside a small Amish-built cabinet that measures just 25" high, 18" wide, and 12" deep.

This is the revolutionary Heat Surge HT, the first-ever appliance with Hybrid-Thermic™ heat technology. Hybrid-Thermic heat technology is an engineering genius so advanced, it actually uses a micro-furnace from the Coast of China and a thermal heat exchanger to perform its miracles. The thermal heat exchanger acts like the rays of the sun to heat you, the kids, the pets and ev-erything else. The micro-furnace then heats all the surrounding air. Together, this Hybrid-Thermic heat technology warms both you and the air around you, taking care of all the cold spots. In fact, it actually produces bone-soothing heat to help you feel good.

This modern marvel uses L.E.D. technology and just a trickle of electricity and saves you money based on a U.S. average that says it uses only about 9¢ of electricity an hour on the standard setting, yet it produces up to an amazing 4,606 British Thermal Units (BTU’s) on the high setting. But here’s the big surprise. It’s not just a metal box that belongs in a basement. The Heat Surge HT is a showpiece

in any room. That’s because it has the ambiance of a real fireplace, but it has no real flames. Its Fireless Flame® technology makes it safe to the touch.

The por table Heat Surge HT comes installed in a genuine Amish- built wood cabinet made in the heartland of Ohio. They are hand-rubbed, stained, and varnished. When it arrives, all you do is just plug it in.

ZONE HEATING SLASHES HEAT BILLS: Notice how the home thermo-stat is turned down to 59º. The left shows the Heat Surge Hybrid-Thermic ‘Miracle Heater’ blanketing the whole-room with 74º of warmth.
