the possibility of gunsales being banned orguns being confiscated.Lenhart said he doesn’tthink gun sales will bebanned altogether orthat guns will ever betaken away from “law-abiding citizens.”Lenhart said person-

ally and as a law en-forcement officer, hedoesn’t have a problemwith more people buyingguns and obtaining con-cealed carry permits.Unlike some area

counties, Lenhart saidhis office has tried to ac-commodate the growingnumber of people whowant concealed carrypermits. The ShelbyCounty Sheriff ’s Office isopen from 8 a.m. to 4p.m. Monday throughFriday and until noon onSaturday.“We have a more cus-

tomer-friendly ap-proach,” Lenhart said,noting the office makesabout $20 for each per-mit processed. By beingopen on Saturday,Lenhart said, some peo-ple are able to obtain thepermits without havingto take off work.Lenhart explained

that one of the ways theconcealed carry permitfunds are being used tofinance the current con-cealed carry and emer-gency training for selectschool personnel thatkicked off this week.The number of con-

cealed carry permits is-sued in area countiesduring 2012 were:Auglaize, 306; Cham-paign, 281; Darke, 939;Logan, 346; Mercer, 349;Miami, 632; and Shelby,355.

STOW (AP) — Thename EnviroScience onthe small building alongDarrow Road does littleto indicate what’s goingon inside.Nothing to suggest the

company is home to 55biologists, some of whomwere responsible forhelping to clean up theinfamous BP oil spill.Nothing to give away

the fact that every majorrailroad in the countrycalls on them to assistafter train derailments,even to the point that sci-entists dive beneath sub-merged cars to rig themfor removal andminimizeenvironmental damage.Nothing to explain

how the U.S. Environ-mental ProtectionAgency has tapped themto take over the NationalAquatic Resource Sur-vey in which they willwrite the rules and trainevery state on how totake samples and exam-ine trends in every river,lake, stream and wet-land in the country.“Having a company

like this in Stow is unbe-lievable. Cities salivateover companies like

this,” said Mayor SaraDrew, whose city is sell-ing a recently vacatedparks and recreationbuilding to give the com-pany room to grow.EnviroScience’s head-

quarters, across thestreet from City Hall,and a second DarrowRoad location where itstores boats and otherequipment, will be con-densed into a 20,000-square-foot city buildingnear Silver SpringsPark. Park employeeswere moved from thebuilding last summer aspart of a citywide consol-idation effort.The 30-year, $2.45mil-

lion lease/sale agreementenabled the privatelyheld EnviroScience tostay in town when it waslooking to expand.Drew said the finan-

cial benefits to the city gobeyond the purchaseprice. The schools willbenefit from $40,000 ayear in property taxeswhen the city-ownedproperty goes into privatehands, and the city willsave $285,000 in interestwhen it pays off what itstill owes on the building.

The company’s part-ners, President MartinHilovsky and Vice Presi-dent Jamie Krejsa, arehomegrown entrepre-neurs, both born andraised in the Clevelandarea. Both now live inSummit County.Hilovsky founded the

company in 1989, a coupleof years after Ohio startedmandating biological test-ing of water discharges.Prior to that, the Ohio

EPA required cities andbusinesses to test onlyfor chemicals, like PH,iron and zinc. But in1987, a group of Ohio sci-entists successfully ar-gued to legislators thatchemicals don’t tell thewhole story of whetherdischarges into publicwaterways were affect-ing marine life.Today, about 10 per-

cent of EnviroScience’sbusiness is still based onits original purpose,serving some 200 busi-ness and municipalclients in Ohio and sur-rounding states.In the basement of its

Darrow Road home, labtechnicians place bugscalled ceriodaphnia

dubia (c. dubia) and fat-head minnows into dis-charge samples to see ifthey can live, grow andreproduce. If the cycle oflife is cut short, theyknow there’s a problem.Hilovsky said Krejsa

was an early employeewho taught him a lessonabout diversifying.Some 20 years ago,

Krejsa was a new em-ployee in the lab whenhe took a phone call froma West Virginia steelcompany that needed afield survey done of eightmiles of Ohio River aspart of an EPA lawsuit.The bosswasn’t around

to ask, so Krejsa said,“Yeah,we can do that.”That phone call

turned into a $2 millioncontract and a new rep-utation for Enviro-Science, which exportedOhio’s fledgling biocen-tric standards to becomemodels for other states.“It taught me a lot

about taking chancesand encouraging my em-ployees to use their in-terests to do new things,”Hilovsky said. “If some-one has an interest inendangered bats, thenthey can work on that,”including finding clientsto support it.

Reports show top salariespaid at Ohio jobs agency

BY ANN SANNERAssociated Press

COLUMBUS (AP) —An Ohio nonprofit pro-moted by the governor tocreate jobs raised almost$7 million in donationsduring its first year inbusiness and half of its26 employees each re-ceived at least a$100,000 salary, recordsobtained Friday by TheAssociated Press andother media show.JobsOhio was created

to handle the state’s eco-nomic development du-ties, which a stategovernment departmentpreviously handled. Itwas required to submit anaudit to the state Devel-opment Services Agency

by the end of last year.The independent

audit of JobsOhio’s oper-ations from July 5, 2011,to June 30, 2012, re-ported spending of about$9 million, with most ofit going toward programexpenses, professionalfees, and payroll andbenefits.John Minor, the pri-

vate nonprofit’s presi-dent and chiefinvestment officer, re-ceived a $225,000 salaryin 2012, far more thanGov. John Kasich’s salaryof almost $149,000. Twoother staff members alsowere employed at$225,000 a year.The salaries were

comparable to otherstartup economic devel-

opment agencies, JobsO-hio spokeswoman LauraJones said. And compen-sation for some top posi-tions was lower thanthat paid at other agen-cies, she said.The nonprofit isn’t re-

quired to disclose whogave it money or pro-vided in-kind services.But Jones said that com-panies in the financialservices and insurancesectors were among thecontributors.JobsOhio also re-

leased an annual reportFriday said job creationand retention in tar-geted industries fellfrom about 83,000 jobspaying $4.7 billion in2011 to about 76,000jobs paying $3.4 billion

last year. The 2012 proj-ects represent commit-ments to be completed inthe next three years.The report also de-

tailed JobsOhio strategyfor boosting and keepingjobs in the state. Thenonprofit said it is focus-ing on finding ways tohelp existing companiesexpand in Ohio and onattracting business fromaround the world. Theagency also wants to in-crease its marketing ofthe state through web-sites and traditional ad-vertisements.The agency said that

in a typical year, 80 per-cent of newly createdjobs come from compa-nies already doing busi-ness in Ohio.

COLUMBUS (AP) —A Pentagon letter warnsautomatic defensebudget cuts will includeat least $5 million toArmy and Air Force op-erations in Ohio.In the Friday letter ob-

tained by The AssociatedPress, a Defense Depart-ment official toldGov.JohnKasich the Air Force will

The reductions arepart of $85 billion in gov-ernment-wide spendingcuts that were taking ef-fect Friday at midnight.The Defense Depart-

ment also has warned ofpossible furloughs for26,000 civilian defenseemployees in Ohio,amounting to about $166million.

Shakes ona plane

COLORADO SPRINGS,Colo. (AP) — The latestcraze to sweep the Internetis bringing college studentsthe wrong kind of attention— from the Federal Avia-tion Administration.During a flight fromCol-

orado Springs to SanDiego,a group of students startedthe Harlem Shake, a danceto a song of the same name.In the viral YouTube

videos, one person startsdancing, then the video cutsto a large group of peopledancing, many in costume.Matt Zelin, a sophomore,

told the Colorado Collegenewspaper, The Catalyst,he asked a flight attendantfor permission beforehand.FAA spokesman Allen

Kenitzer said Thursdaythey’re looking at whatphase the flight was in dur-ing the dance in the aisles.Frontier Airlines says

the seatbelt sign was offand safety measures werefollowed.

families with children.”The president met with top

lawmakers for less than anhour at theWhite House, thensought repeatedly to fix theblame on Republicans for thebroad spending reductionsand any damage that they in-flict. “They’ve allowed thesecuts to happen because theyrefuse to budge on closing asingle wasteful loophole tohelp reduce the deficit,” hesaid, renewing his demand fora comprehensive deficit-cut-ting deal that includes highertaxes.Republicans said they

wanted deficit cuts, too, butnot tax increases. “The presi-dent got his tax hikes on Jan.1,” House Speaker JohnBoehner told reporters, a ref-erence to a $600 billion in-crease on higher wage earnersthat cleared Congress on thefirst day of the year. Now, hesaid after the meeting, it istime take on “the spendingproblem here in Washington.”Senate Republican leader

Mitch McConnell of Kentucky

was equally emphatic. ” I willnot be part of any back-roomdeal, and I will absolutely notagree to increase taxes,” hevowed in a written statement.At the same time they

clashed, Obama and Republi-cans appeared determined tocontain their disagreement.Boehner said the House

will pass legislation nextweek to extend routine fund-ing for government agenciesbeyond the current March 27expiration. “I’m hopeful thatwe won’t have to deal with thethreat of a government shut-down while we’re dealing withthe sequester at the sametime,” he said, referring to thenew cuts by theirWashington-speak name.Obama said he, too, wanted

to keep the two issues sepa-rate.White House officials de-

clined to say precisely whenthe president would formallyorder the cuts. Under the law,he had until midnight. Bar-ring a quick deal in the nextweek or so to call them off, the

impact eventually is likely tobe felt in all reaches of thecountry.The Pentagon will absorb

half of the $85 billion requiredto be sliced between now andthe end of the budget year onSept 30, exposing civilianworkers to furloughs and de-fense contractors to possiblecancellations. Said DefenseSecretary Chuck Hagel, only afew days on the job: “We willcontinue to ensure America’ssecurity” despite the chal-lenge posed by an “unneces-sary budget crisis.”The administration also

has warned of long lines atairports as security personnelare furloughed, of teacher lay-offs in some classrooms andadverse impacts on mainte-nance at the nation’s parks.The announcement by the

housing agency in Seattle wasan early indication of what islikely to hit as the cuts takeeffect. It said it was taking theaction “to cope with the im-pending reduction in federalfunding,” adding that it nor-

mally issues 45 to 50 vouchersper month.After days of dire warnings

by administration officials,the president told reportersthe effects of the cuts wouldbe felt only gradually.“The longer these cuts re-

main in place, the greater thedamage to our economy — aslow grind that will intensifywith each passing day,” hesaid. Much of the budget sav-ings will come through unpaidfurloughs for governmentworkers, and those won’tbegin taking effect until nextmonth.Obama declined to say if he

bore any of the responsibilityfor the coming cuts, and ex-pressed bemusement at anysuggestion he had the abilityto force Republicans to agreewith him.“I am not a dictator. I’m the

president,” he said. “So, ulti-mately, if Mitch McConnell orJohn Boehner say we need togo to catch a plane, I can’thave Secret Service block thedoorway, right?”

Supplies head for ISSCAPE CANAVERAL, Fla.

(AP) —A commercial craft car-rying a ton of supplies for theInternational Space Station raninto thruster trouble shortlyafter liftoff Friday. Flight con-trollers managed to gain con-trol, but were forced to delay itsarrival at the orbiting lab.The earliest the Dragon

capsule could show up is Sun-day, a full day late, said top of-ficials for NASA and theprivate company SpaceX.“We’re definitely not going

to rush it,” said SpaceX’s bil-lionaire founder Elon Musk.“We want to make sure firstand foremost that things aresafe before proceeding.”The Dragon, owned and op-

erated by SpaceX, holds con-siderable science experimentsfor the space station as well asfood and spare parts.Musk said six hours into

the flight that all four sets ofthrusters finally were work-ing. “All systems green,” he re-

ported via Twitter. The prob-lem may have been caused bya stuck valve or a line block-age. The thrusters are smallrockets used for maneuveringthe capsule.An hour later, the Dragon

was raised with the thrustersto a safe altitude. “Dragon backon track,” he said in a tweet.It was the first serious

trouble to strike a Dragon inorbit. None of the four previ-ous unmanned flights had anythruster issues, Musk told re-porters by phone from com-pany headquarters inHawthorne, Calif.He said it appeared to be a

glitch versus a major concern.SpaceX has a $1.6 billion

contract with NASA to makea dozen deliveries to restockthe space station. This is thethird trip by a Dragon capsuleto the station; the first Dragonflight, in 2010, was a solo test.NASA space station pro-

gram manager Mike Suffre-

dini said at least three groupsof thrusters on the Dragonneed to work before the cap-sule can come close to thecomplex. That’s a safety rulethat will not be waived, Suf-fredini said.Engineers for both SpaceX

and NASA plan an exhaustivestudy before allowing the ren-dezvous to take place. TheDragon could hang around atleast a month before linkingup with the station, Musksaid. It’s supposed to spendmore than three weeks there,in large part to accommodatescience samples that will beon the return trip.SpaceX is in charge of the

flight until it gets near thespace station. Then NASAcalls the shots.“If we can convince our-

selves the data’s good, I sus-pect we can find anopportunity on Sunday, butagain, we have to go look atit,” Suffredini said.

N’DJAMENA,Chad (AP)—Chadian President IdrissDeby announced Friday thatChadian troops fighting to dis-lodge an al-Qaida affiliate innorthernMali killed one of thegroup’s leading commanders,Abou Zeid.The death of the Algerian

warlord, a feared radicalleader of al-Qaida in the Is-lamic Maghreb behind thekidnapping of several West-erners, could not immediatelybe verified.His death would bea big blow to his group and itsgrowing influence in NorthandWest Africa.Officials in Mali and in

France, which is leading an in-ternational military interven-tion in Mali against Islamicextremists linked to AQIM,could not confirm the death.The White House had no im-mediate reaction to the an-nouncement. The U.S. hasoffered drones and intelligencehelp to the French-led opera-tion.The Chadian president’s

spokesman said that Deby an-nounced the death of AbouZeid during a ceremony Fri-

day for Chadian soldiers killedin fighting in Mali.Deby said, “It was our sol-

diers who killed two big Is-lamist chiefs in northernMali,” includingAbou Zeid, ac-cording to the spokesman.The spokesman insisted on

anonymity because he was notauthorized to speak ahead ofan announcement on state tel-evision on the matter. It wasunclear when it was expected,and the spokesman gave nofurther details.Chadian television showed

images of Friday’s tribute tothe fallen soldiers from Chad,a row of coffins draped withthe blue, yellow and red flags,and dignitaries from Chadand neighboring countries.AbdelhamidAbou Zeid, who

led one of the most violentbrigades of al-Qaida’s NorthAfrican franchise and helpedlead the extremist takeover ofnorthern Mali, was thought tobe 47 years old.He was a pillar of the

southern realm of al-Qaida inthe Islamic Maghreb, orAQIM, responsible for thedeath of at least two European

hostages. He was believed tobe holding four French nation-als kidnapped two years agoat a uranium mine in Niger.The fate of those hostages,working for French companyAreva, was unclear Fridaynight.Abou Zeid held a French-

man released in February2010, and another who was ex-ecuted that July. He’s alsobeen linked to the execution ofa British hostage in 2009.The French military moved

into Mali on Jan. 11 to pushback militants linked to AbouZeid and other extremistgroups who had imposedharsh Islamic rule in the vastcountry and who were seen asan international terroristthreat. The extremists tookcontrol over northern Mali ina power vacuum after a couplast year, and had startedmoving toward the capital.France is trying to rally

other African troops to help inthe military campaign, sinceMali’s military is weak andpoor. Chadian troops have of-fered the most robust rein-forcement.

‘Rambler’back behind

barsLONDON (AP) —A British

man who has spent most ofthe past decade naked — andin jail — was back behindbars Friday after defying anorder to cover up.Stephen Gough, known as

the “Naked Rambler,” was ar-rested Thursday as he left acourt in Southampton, south-ern England, wearing onlyboots, socks and a knapsack.A judge had just imposed

an order that he must “wearsufficient clothing in public toat least cover his genitaliaand buttocks.”The 54-year-old former

Royal Marine appeared at thesame court Friday, and wasordered detained until a hear-ing on March 25.Since 2003 Gough has com-

pleted two naked walks thelength of Britain, with fre-quent interruptions for ar-rests, court appearances andjail time.Prosecution lawyer Roger

Trencher said Friday thatGough “has caused much of-fense nationwide and he hasused a considerable amount ofpolice time in England,Walesand Scotland.”Gough has said he believes

nudity is a human right. De-fense lawyer Jeffrey Norie-Mille told the court thatGough “believes it is his rightnot to wear clothes and goabout his normal activities inthat state of undress.”There is no law in Britain

against public nudity. How-ever, there are laws againstindecent exposure or behaviorlikely to cause “harassment,alarm or distress.”

“Look Beyond”is the Theme forDevelopmental

Disabilities AwarenessMonth 2013

Shelby County Board of DevelopmentalDisabilities and other related organizationscelebrate Developmental Disabilities AwarenessMonth in March and invite you to consider thetrue meaning of this year’s theme, “LookBeyond.”

“Look Beyond” encourages people tounderstand that when people with disabilities arewelcomed into local neighborhoods, workplaces,houses of worship, and schools everyone wins."This is a time when our organization focuses onencouraging the public to better understand theindividuals we serve," said Superintendent LauraZuriech.

“During ‘Developmental DisabilitiesAwareness Month’, we encourage people to getacquainted with someone who has adevelopmental disability. You’ll learn thateveryone has something to offer and that whenwe are all together our communities are stronger,we accomplish more, and everyone wins!”

YOUR HOROSCOPE

DearHeloise:My husbandstumbled on agreat way tokeep our 13-m o n t h - o l dgrandson fromgetting into thekitchen drawerswithout havingto installdrawer safetylatches. He pur-chased 24-inchextra-long shoe-horns. They were inex-pensive and plastic. Heslid the shoehorn withthe hook so that it grabsthe drawer handle on thefirst drawer and slidesdown through the rest ofthem. Depending on thenumber of drawers in aset we want to secure, hecuts the shoehorn to thedesired length. I usuallymake sure the bottomdrawers are safe ones somy grandson can get intothem—his favorite placeto play.Small downside: His

little hands can sneak inon the sides, but he can’treally get into the drawer.— Lynda H., Boerne,TexasLynda, this is an inex-

pensive solution, but it’swise to invest in the rightsafety locks. You don’twant to take a chancethat a little one could getinto trouble. — Heloise

PET PALDear Readers: J.P.

McGiffin of Bedford,N.H., sent a photo of hercat,Armani. She says thishandsome boy knowshow to keep warm or cool

because he al-ways wears hisgray suit. To seeArmani in hissuit, visit thew e b s i t ewww.Heloise.comand click on“Pets.” — Heloise

NEWMEDICINEDear Heloise:

When I get a newprescription, Iwrite on the bot-

tle four days before therefill date as a reminderwhen to order the nextrefill.—Bruce Cammack,Lubbock, Texas

HEALTHIERMASHED POTATOESDear Heloise: To make

mashed potatoes a bithealthier, use half pota-toes and half cabbage.Cut the cabbage intochunks and cook it withthe potatoes until soft,drain well and mash orwhip, adding whateveryou normally add (likebutter, cream, salt andpepper).My son discovered this

one day when he didn’thave enough potatoes onhand. He rememberedhowmuch he used to likethe combination of cab-bage and potatoes when Iboiled them with cornedbeef, so he thought he’dtry them mashed to-gether.It worked! You would-

n’t think so, but the cab-bage flavor blended rightin.Try it, Heloise. I like iteven better than plainmashed potatoes. — Lav-erneWiles, via email

Hintsfrom

HeloiseHeloise Cruse

Drawer safetyDR.WALLACE: I am a regular reader of your col-

umn, andmost of the time I disagreewith you. I knowI probably won’t like your answer,but I’m writing anyway.I’m 22 and met this girl at a

party at my cousin’s house. Lynnand I hit it off big time, and when Iasked her out, she said yes. She is16, so I told her I was 17 because Ireally look much younger. Lastnight I met her dad for the firsttime, and the first thing he askedmewas how old I was. I told him 17.I want to keep dating Lynn, but

I’m worried that her parents mightfind out my true age and tell her tostop seeing me. Do you think Ishould tell Lynn the truth, and then ask her to helpkeep our secret?Thatway, Iwould be 100 percent hon-est with her, and her parents would probably not stopus from going out together.—Ted,Houston,Tex.

TED: I’m afraid you are going to disagree with mycomments once again. I’m sure you expected to, butI’m surprised that you asked for advice. I’ll consideryour letter a hopeful sign that you want to change forthe better. So listen up!You are an adult and should not be dating a

younger teen under any circumstances. The fact thatyou felt you had to lie to everyone in order to date thisgirlmakes it quite obvious that you already know this.It won’t make things any better if you tell her thetruth and then ask her to say nothing to her parents.If you really cared for this girl, youwould not considerdoing this. Stop seeing this girl and find someonecloser to your own age. Apparently you not only lookyoung,but you are also immature. It’s time to growup!

DR. WALLACE: I’m 20 and never dated in highschool. I’m a nice person, but I’m not considered at-tractive. I’m now dating a guywhoworks inmy office.He is nice, but I’m not in love with him. Last week heasked me to marry him even though we have onlybeen dating for seven months. What should I do? Idon’t want to end up husbandless!—Nameless,Cleve-land, Ohio

NAMELESS: Don’t commit to marriage until youlove your future husband unconditionally. Even moreimportantly, don’t ever consider yourself unattractive.As you discover your inner beauty and bring it out inthe presence of others, more and more people will no-tice. Believe me, you won’t wind up “husbandless.”

’Tween12 & 20Dr. RobertWallace

Stop lying! It’stime to grow up!

Imagine re-growing asevered fingertip withthe help of a pig. Itsounds like science fic-tion, but it's not. In fact,it’s happening at WilsonMemorial Hospital.

Jason Davis recentlysevered one of his finger-tips in an accident. The18-year-old Anna resi-dent is now watching hisfingertip grow back withthe help of Dr. BrentBamberger, hand sur-geon with OrthopedicAssociates of SW Ohio,and the wonders of re-generative medicine.

“Historically, wewould have surgicallyrepaired Jason’s finger-tip,” said Bamberger re-cently. “A more complexprocedure would havebeen required thatwould have left his fin-ger deformed. With theadvancement in medi-cine and the ACell Ma-triStem treatmentprocess, we utilize amore natural approachthat exhibits excellentresults.”

ACell’s MatriStem re-generative medicinetechnology is a naturallyoccurring bioscaffold de-rived from porcine tissue(or swine tissue). WhenMatriStem is placedonto a wound, it is ab-sorbed and replacedwith new native tissuewhere scar tissue wouldnormally be expected.

The treatment in-volved cleaning outDavis’s finger and re-moving scar tissue — aprocess called debride-ment — and then dip-ping the finger intoMatriStem powder.Aftersix weeks of treatment,

his fingertip should growback. Davis should re-gain full functionality ofhis finger once it is com-pletely healed.

Why pig tissue?“Pig tissue is com-

pletely resorbable and acellular material,” saidBamberger. “It has abasement membranethat can go in anyone’sbody. The MatriStemtechnology fundamen-tally changes the healingprocess by triggeringabundant new blood ves-sel formation and re-cruiting numerous celltypes to the site

of injury.”MatriStem devices

are available in sheetand powder form andcan be used in a broadrange of medical applica-tions, including severed-finger trauma, woundcare, general surgery,gastrointestinal surgery,urology and plastic andreconstructive surgery.

Wendy’s stands by outlookamid transformation pushNEW YORK (AP) —

Wendy’s is standing byits outlook for the yearas it pushes ahead withrestaurant remodelingplans intended to boostits image.The company, based

in Dublin, Ohio, saysabout 20 percent of itsU.S. locations will be re-modeled by 2015. Thenew look, which includescomfortable seatingareas and flat-screenTVs, is intended to havea more inviting feel andis part of the company’sgoal of positioning itselfon the higher end of thefast-food industry.Wendy’s has about

6,500 locations, prima-

rily in North America.In a conference call

with analysts, Chief Fi-nancial Officer SteveHare said sales at estab-lished restaurants in thefirst quarter of the yearare off to a solid startafter a modest perform-ance a year ago. He de-clined to provide details,but the company saidthe new “Right Price,Right Size” value menuis resonating with cus-tomers.Even as it tries to

strengthen its image asa purveyor of more pre-mium food, Wendy’s islooking to step up itscourtship of fast-foodcustomers who are fo-

cused squarely on value.But the new menu has atiered pricing strategyranging from 99 cents toabout $2 intended to sellitems at more profitableprice. Items on the previ-ous menu all cost 99cents, which was anissue for some fran-chisees because theprofit margins were toothin.The company’s push

to reinvent itself comesas people are increas-ingly eating at fast-ca-sual chains such asPanera Bread Co. (NAS-DAQ:PNRA) , which of-fers food that’s perceivedto be higher quality forslightly higher prices. Abetter image could giveWendy’s more wiggleroom to raise priceswithout scaring off cus-tomers.For the period ended

Dec. 30,Wendy’s Co. saidits net income rosesharply because of alarger tax benefit andlower interest expense.It earned $26.4 million,or 7 cents per share,compared with $4 mil-lion, or 1 cent per share,a year ago.The company revised

its preliminary adjustedresults showing earn-ings in January to re-duce the estimate forcharges related to dis-continuing breakfast atcertain locations and to

reduce depreciation andamortization. It nowsays adjusted earningswere 9 cents per share inthe period.Analysts surveyed by

FactSet expected 8 centsper share.Revenue rose 2 per-

cent to $629.9 million.Analysts expected rev-enue of $630 million.Its shares rose 12

cents, or 2.2 percent, to$5.62 in trading 90 min-utes before the marketopening.As previously re-

ported, the companysaid sales at establishedrestaurants slipped 0.2percent, after a strongperformance in the year-ago period that got aboost from the introduc-tion of Dave’s Hot ‘nJuicy burgers.The meas-ure is a key indicator ofa financial health be-cause it strips out theimpact of newly openedand closed locations.Looking ahead to

2013, the company af-firmed its outlook forgrowth of 2 percent to 3percent at restaurantsopen at least 15 monthsand remodeled restau-rants open at leastthree months. It reaf-firmed its forecast foradjusted earnings be-tween 18 cents and 20cents per share. WallStreet predicts 18 centsper share.

CINCINNATI (AP) —Slot machines wereclanging and bets wereflying for the first timeWednesday as the last ofOhio’s four voter-ap-proved casinos begantrying to clear a finalmajor hurdle beforebeing allowed to open tothe public.Up to 15,000 invited

guests planned to attendan eight-hour dry run ofthe $400 million Horse-shoe Casino CincinnationWednesday.The eventis closed to the publicand media.Agents with the Ohio

Casino Control Commis-sion will be watchingevery aspect of thecasino’s operations dur-ing that time and wellinto Thursday morning,when workers still willbe counting the moneybrought in.“Slots, table games,

the work in the cashiercage, the counting room,the main bank — we’relooking at all these sen-sitive areas to make surethey’re complying withthe rules and regula-tions,” said Matt Schuler,executive director of thecommission. “All aspectsof the casino’s operationsare important to us.”Any major opera-

tional problems, such asbeing unable to accu-rately count the money,could delay Monday’sopening of the casino.No problems delayed

the opening of Ohio’sthree other casinos be-ginning in May in Cleve-land and Toledo;Columbus’ casinoopened in October.If Cincinnati’s casino

opens on time, that willmean the state’s four

casinos will have openedin a 10-month period fol-lowing voter approval in2009. Voters approvedthe casinos after astatewide legalizationcampaign touted the im-mediate boost the casi-nos would give to Ohio’seconomy and despitestrong disapproval fromanti-gambling groupsand others.The state collects 33

percent in taxes from thecasinos, which is distrib-uted to Ohio’s schools,counties and cities.Since they opened, the

casinos in Toledo, Cleve-land and Columbus haveearned just under $404million through the endof January, generatingabout $133 million intaxes. Once all four areup and running, theiryearly revenues are ex-pected to be just under$1 billion.Members of the media

got a first look at thetwo-story, 400,000-square-foot casino onTuesday, when workerswere busy making last-minute preparations.The facility includes

2,000 slot machines, 87table games, a buffet, aVIP players’ lounge withlimits as high as $50,000a hand, aWorld Series ofPoker room, and threeoutward-facing restau-rants, including singerJimmy Buffet’s Margari-taville and Bobby’sBurger Palace bycelebrity chef BobbyFlay.Flay is expected to at-

tend Monday’s opening.The casino was built

from the ground up injust over two years onwhat used to be abedraggled parking lotin the city’s downtown.Profits from Wednes-

day’s dry run will begiven to charity.

DAYTON — The AnnaRockets couldn’t have startedmuch better.Chandon Williams drained

a three-pointer on the firstshot of the game, Joel Albersfollowed with a bucket inside,Christian Williams converteda three-point play and CarterBensman scored on a drive tothe bucket for a 10-2 lead.On top of that, the Rockets

held West Liberty-Salemwithout a field goal in theopening quarter.But as the saying goes, it’s

not how you start, it’s how youfinish, and the Rockets could-n’t overcome shooting woes inlosing 47-38 to the Tigers inthe Division III Sectional fi-nals at the University of Day-ton Arena.Anna won two tournament

games over teams with win-ning records in Carlisle andMiami East, but couldn’tmake it three straight and fin-ished the season at 11-14.West Liberty is now 20-5,

two of the wins over the Rock-ets.“I thought we played well

but we had trouble shootingthe ball,” said Anna coachNate Barhorst. “And whenyou get to this stage of thetournament, you need allfacets of the game to be work-ing.”Anna finished just 2-for-16

from behind the three-pointline, and that was afterWilliams hit the first shot ofthe game from behind the arc.Overall, the Rockets were

14-for-43, just 32.6 percent.In addition, the Rockets

were 8-for-15 from the foulline and missed the first of aone-and-one twice in the sec-ond quarter.By contrast, the Tigers

canned their first 18 freethrows before missing on theirfinal attempt of the night.Anna’s defensive pressure

was intense in the early going,but when Chandon Williamsand Albers both picked uptheir second fouls, Albers withstill 4:51 left in the opening pe-riod, they had to come out andthe Rockets had to back off alittle on the defensive end.Anna led 17-12 in the sec-

ond quarter before fivestraight Salem points tied itwith :32 left in the half.Two Bensman free throws

gave Anna a 19-17 lead at thebreak, and Albers hit twostraight to open the third pe-riod and make it 23-17.But West Liberty hit seven

straight to take its first leadat 24-23, and a Grant Burdenthree made it 31-27 with 1:15left.Anna trailed just 37-36

with 4:07 left on anotherbucket by Albers, but WestLiberty scored the next four.The Rockets got as close as

41-38 on a steal and layup byChristian Williams, but the

Tigers pulled away with out-standing free throw shooting.Albers was the lone Anna

player in double figures with13.Salem big man Landon

Hormann, a 6-5 senior, had 16and was 8-for-8 from the line.He had 10 of his points in thefinal period.“We felt we were right

where we wanted to be at thehalf,” said Barhorst. “We feltconfident knowing that Joeland Chandon would be backin there to start the second

half. But we just couldn’t over-come the shooting.”

COLLEGE UPDATE

Gasson

BY JACK KRAMER

YELLOW SPRINGS— Two summers ago,Tim Barga, who guidedgirls basketball pro-grams at Versailles for23 years and at Russiaand Fairlawn for fouryears, wanted badly tocontinue coaching.To prove it, he hopped

in his car and drove al-most three hours round-trip for an interview.Right away, he was of-

fered the position ashead coach of the Divi-sion IV girls program atYellow Springs HighSchool. He has sincedriven more than 20,000miles between theGreene County commu-nity and his home inVersailles to lead hisnew school to its firstleague championship(Metro Buckeye) everand its first sectionaltitle in 26 years.“I hope I’ve changed

the outlook of these girlsabout developing a win-ning attitude and learn-ing communication,teamwork and problemsolving skills,” Bargasaid. “These are valuesthe ladies will use for-ever. I think they haveenjoyed figuring outwhat it takes to win.”Barga has indeed suc-

ceeded. His 18-7 LadyBulldogs take on statepowerhouse Tri-Villagetoday at 1 p.m. in a Divi-sion IV district titlegame at Tipp City. FortLoramie meetsFranklin-Monroe in thegame that follows.During this past sea-

son, Barga himself suc-

ceeded, too. He reached500wins in hismore than25 years of coaching.“I’ve had some great

talent along theway. KelliStahl and Jacki Rater-man, now Stonebreaker,at Versailles to name acouple Tiger greats,” hesaid. “And, of course,Amanda Francis at Fair-lawn. She was probablythe best all around playerI ever coached.”At Versailles, Barga

directed the Lady Tigersto 12 league titles andtwo final four berths.The former Ohio coach ofthe year has now regis-tered 512 girls basket-ball victories in theBuckeye state.Although Barga said

he is “okay” with beingthe 13th winningestcoach in girls basketballhistory in Ohio, he ismuch more exhilaratedby his Lady Bulldogs’scrappy and determined

performances, gameafter game, this year.“No quit. Energy and

enthusiasm. Intense,hard-nosed play. Andsolid defense,” saidBarga of his team, whoseaverage yield is only 32points per game.Something has to give

in the district final, how-ever. Tri-Village rolled up100 points in a previousFebruary tourney gameand was a state semifinalteam a year ago.But Barga said that

discipline is a big part ofthe game. “Winning usu-ally takes care of itself. Itry to promote learningas a unit. And that’s im-portant on the court, inclass, in the communityand at your career. Bas-ketball teaches you a lot,”he said. “That’s one ofmy jobs…..to help kidsbecome adults.”Senior starters

Maryah Martin, Angela

Allen and Keturah Ful-ton lead the way for theLady Bulldogs, who wereonly 8-13 a year ago.Over two seasons,Barga’s patience and ex-perience have been amagical combinationboosting the Bulldogs’play. Barga has startedto rebuild the programwhile overcoming themore laid-back culture ofYellow Springs athleticsand its history of losing.Steve Rossi, director

of athletics and studentleadership at YellowSprings, said that Bargahas been “phenomenal,”adding, “He was justwhat we needed.”Barga beamed when

he said he continues “toput miles on his car, butsmiles on his face.”“I am having fun

going down the roadknowing I’m makingsome positive impact onthese girls’ lives.”

The Redskins beganto establish themselvesin the second quarter. Ahigh-octane Redskin runwas tomahawked by Be-nanzer, who had a pair ofhoops to kick off the sec-ond quarter. The Lo-ramie cushion was half adozen (16-10) following abasket by Gant Olberd-ing.Botkins called a time-

out to stop the momen-tum and Seth Hoyingresponded for the Tro-jans. The senior hit apair of free-throws andadded a steal and acoast-to-coast layup asthe Botkins deficit wassliced to a pair. However,Loramie closed out thehalf on a 6-2 run as theyjogged into the lockerrooms with 22-16 advan-tage.In the second half, Lo-

ramie looked like theymight pull away, as theyopened things up with a9-2 run.A catalyst in thedrive was Guillozet, whodrilled a pair of threeballs and the Redskinlead swelled all the wayto 31-18.“I was hoping to be

able to get a little bit of aspread and I thought wehad some opportunitiesbut I knew they weregoing to come back.Brett (Meyer) does a fan-tastic job with thoseguys and they are goingto fight hard. We’ve hadthree tough contestswith them this year. Iknew they were going tomake a run – that’s thekind of kids they haveover there. For us to holdonto that lead says a lotabout our guys and hold-ing their composure,”said Ratermann.Botkins sharpshooter

Gabe Lawrence finallystopped the momentumby canning a trey but itwas Loramie who stillled 33-22 heading intothe fourth.“I felt that rebounding

hurt us. One was at theend of the first half thatput them up six. Ithought we fought backreally well and cut it tofive — with the ball.

Give Fort Loramie credit— defensively they werevery sound and didn’tgive us too many looksand they just made a fewmore plays than ustonight,” said Botkinscoach Brett Meyer.Field goals were

tough to come by in thefourth quarter as bothteams spent plenty oftime at the charitystripe. Botkins sliced thelead to single digits (36-27) following a pair atthe line by Schwartz.The Loramie lead was

trimmed to five (40-35)after a 16-foot baselinejumper by Lawrencewith just under two min-utes remaining in thecontest.With the game on the

the majors since 2006.He pitched for Boston inTriple-A last season,making 19 relief appear-ances with a 3.96 ERA.This move reunites

Prior and Reds managerDusty Baker. They weretogether with theChicago Cubs severalyears ago, and Prior wasanAll-Star in 2003 whenthe team came close toreaching the World Se-ries.“He called me in the

winter. We talk some-times. He sends my wifeupdates on the kids,”Baker said Friday. “Henever asked me for any-thing. He said, ‘Hey man,I’d like to try it one moretime.’ I told him, ‘If I canhelp you, I’ll make theopportunity.’”Baker was criticized

by some for overusingPrior, but the pitchernever blamed the man-ager. A friendship be-tween them led to thislatest chance.Baker got the OK

from Reds general man-ager Walt Jocketty be-fore Prior was brought tocamp. Prior joined theReds after passing aphysical.Prior was the overall

No. 2 pick in the 2001draft and was in the ma-jors the next season at21.

Abnormal results can be normal

Homeschooler suffers bullying by other kids

DEAR DR.ROACH: I am anew reader toyour column; assuch, I thought Iwould ask you aquestion that Ihave never seenasked or ad-dressed in simi-lar newspaperhealth columns.

I am in myearly 40s. I amactive and gener-ally healthy. Thatbeing said, I have GERD,but I have successfullybeen treating it with adaily dose of 20 mg ofomeprazole for the past10 years. Last year, Iread that omeprazole caninhibit the body’s abilityto absorb vitamin B-12. Ihad my B-12 levelchecked to see if I was de-

ficient. I wasn’t.In fact, my B-12blood level wasabout 30 pointshigher than the“normal” range,which as I recalltopped out at 900mg/dl.

My primary-care physiciansaid, “There’snothing to worryabout.” A GI doc-tor said that hewasn’t concerned

either.Because everything

I’ve read on the subjectindicates that excessivelevels of B-12 could be anindicator of other disor-ders, I’m scared. Should Isee a hematologist forfurther testing? — C.R.

ANSWER: The “nor-mal” range for a given

laboratory result is basedon the range that isfound in healthy individ-uals. Almost all charac-teristics you can think of— height, weight, bloodpressure — have a rangeof values.The “normal” isdefined as where 95 per-cent of healthy peoplewill fall.That means that5 percent of healthy peo-ple will be outside therange, even though thereis nothing wrong withthem. That almost cer-tainly is what is happen-ing with you.

Omeprazole and drugslike it do cause a slight,probably insignificantdrop in B-12 levels. How-ever, true B-12 deficiencyfrom these medicationshasn’t been seen.

It is true that dis-eases associated with de-

struction of liver orwhite blood cells cancause these cells to re-lease their B-12 into theblood. When I have seenthis, the B-12 level wasin the several-thousandrange, and there weremany other blood abnor-malities. I think it’s veryunlikely that anythinglike that is going on withyou.

The booklet on heart-burn explains GERD, acommon disorder. Read-ers can obtain a copy bywriting: Dr. Roach — No.501, Box 536475, Or-lando, FL 32853-6475.Enclose a check or moneyorder (no cash) for $4.75U.S./$6 Can. with the re-cipient’s printed nameand address. Pleaseallow four weeks for de-livery.

DEAR ABBY:I am a 14-year-old female fromthe West Coast. Iam home-schooled anddon’t have manyfriends because Iscore high intests, meaning Iretain more in-formation thanthe average per-son.

On the rare occasionthat I mingle with chil-dren my own age, theycall me unpleasantnames, play pranks onme and otherwise tor-ture me. I had to changemy emergency cellphonenumber and start usingmy sister’s because therehave been so many im-mature and insultingprank calls.

I hate it. I can’t helpthat I am smart, and Irefuse to degrade myselfby dumbing downmy ac-tions and speech becausethey can’t handle theirinsecurities.— HIGH IQ

DEAR HIGH IQ:Being “different” isn’t

easy, and clearlyyou are very in-telligent. Butyou and yourparents shouldunderstand thatcrank calls arenot “pranks” —they are a formof bullying andshould have beenreported whenthey happened.

Most parentswho home-school alsonetwork with otherhome-schooling parentsso their children can so-cialize with peers.

If your parentshaven’t done this, I rec-ommend you discuss itwith them. You mightalso meet more intellec-tually advanced youngpeople if you joined spe-cial-interest groups forolder students.

Your high IQmight beless threatening to thestudents who have givenyou trouble if you volun-teer to tutor some ofthemwho need help withtheir schoolwork. (Justdon’t fall into the trap of

doing it FOR them.)DEAR ABBY: I have

been with my boyfriend,“Dan,” for almost fiveyears. He’s wonderfuland we have a great re-lationship. We havetalked about spendingour lives together, buthad mutually agreed inthe beginning that mar-riage wasn’t a priorityfor either of us. He hassaid for years that henever wanted to marry— which is fine with me.

I now suspect thathe’s planning to proposeto me on our fifth an-niversary. (He has neverbeen great at hiding sur-prises.)

I’m thrilled that hewants to make that kindof commitment, and Iwant nothing more thanto spend the rest of mylife with him, but thethought of marriagescares me. I don’t knowif it’s nerves about thepending proposal or thatI have never planned onmarriage and now I haveto think about all thestress and strife that

comes with planning awedding.

I want to say yes, butI love the way things areright now, and I knowthat marriage willchange things. What, ifanything, do I say tohim? — COLD FEET?IN SALT LAKE CITY

DEAR COLDFEET?: I wish you hadmentioned why youthink being married toDan would “changethings.” If you’ve beenhappy together for fiveyears, it’s unlikely thatmaking a formal com-mitment would damagethe special relationshipyou have together.

Perhaps this is “oldschool,” but I feel that ifcouples plan to bringchildren into the world,they should be married.Because you want noth-ing more than to spendthe rest of your life withDan, and are concernedabout the stress of plan-ning a wedding, when hepops the question, I sug-gest you say, “Yes — whydon’t we elope?”

Low clouds are here tostay through most of the daytoday. The lin-g e r i n gmoisturem e a n swe maysee a fewlight flur-r i e st h r o u g hthe firstpart of today. No accumula-tion is expected.

For Sunday, March 3, 2013ARIES (March 21 to April 19)This is a loosey-goosey day, and al-though you might want to discussshared property, inheritances andsuch, don’t do it. Nothing will come ofit. Just coast.TAURUS (April 20 to May 20)This can be a playful day dealing withfriends and partners if you keep mat-ters light.Avoid important discussions,and certainly avoid important deci-sions or making promises to others.GEMINI (May 21 to June 20)Shortages, delays and minor mistakeson the job are likely today. This couldbe frustrating. On the other hand, it’seasy to think outside-the-box.CANCER (June 21 to July 22)This is an extremely creative day forartists or anyone involved in a creativeproject — the theater, screenwriting,arts and crafts, writing or workingwith children. Enjoy your day.LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22)You’ll enjoy puttering around yourhome today. Do whatever makes youfeel like you’re getting better organ-ized, but really, you’re just markingtime. It’s one of those days. Relax.VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22)Conversations with others will be allover the map today, and they might befun. Just remember that anything saidtoday is not to be taken seriously untiltomorrow.LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22)Be very careful with your financestoday. This is a poor day for makingmajor expenditures or shopping foranything other than food. In addition,avoid important decisions.SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21)You feel like a helium balloon floatingfreely today, which is why you’re notquite sure what to do. No worries. Justgo with the flow, but avoid major ex-penditures or important decisions.SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21)Quiet time in contemplation or soli-tary work will please you today. Don’texpect too much of yourself or others.CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19)A discussion with a female might beunusually frank and candid. Peopleare inclined to let their guard downtoday. Listen with care.AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18)Guard against making some goofymistakes that other people (especiallybosses and VIPs) will be aware of. No-body wants bad press, even you.PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20)You have strong feelings of wanting toescape from all this today. That’s OK.Do something different. Be a tourist inyour own city. But don’t spend moneyon anything other than food. However,you might learn something quite fas-cinating.YOU BORN TODAY You are a vision-ary and can easily imagine what it isthat you want to achieve because youare both imaginative and practical.You’re very private, but you like tolend your efforts to social causes thatmake the world a better place.You’re agreat planner and are very involved inwhatever you do. In the year ahead, animportant choice will arise. Choosewisely.Birthdate of: Miranda Richardson, ac-tress; Tyler Florence, TV chef; Alexan-der Graham Bell, inventor/teacher.(c) 2013 King Features Syndicate, Inc.
