town, and everyone had to appreciate how it moderated the weather to make for one of the nicest possible fair opening days. “We do our gate totals for 7 to 3 and then 3 to 11,� Heilers said. “The total for 7-3 was about $9,000, so it looks really good for today.� The biggest numbers at the gate generally come from the 3-11 tally. The day kicked off with opening ceremonies, with County Commissioner Julie Ehemann offering a welcome on behalf of the Board of Commissioners, and Chuck Craynon speaking on behalf of

the Boy Scouts. The Houston High School band performed, and select veterans raised the flag. The fair kicked off a brand new program, Special honoring Olympians with the Special Day for Special Athletes. The athletes were treated to a free day at the fair, which kicked off for about 40 special guests with an opening ceremony, where the athletes received a balloon and swag bag. Heilers said the organizers were very pleased with the support from vendors and concessionaires, who provided free treats

There was a new category among the grand champion ribbons presented Sunday at the 2013 Shelby County Fair Culinary competition and a young, first-time entrant took home the prize. Langenkamp, Lucas 8, proudly held his jar of prize-winning watermelon hardtack candy as Dick Barhorst, of Fort Loramie, auctioned it off. Jeff Pollard, of Best One Tire, bought it for $275. Lucas, son of Wendy and Ed Langenkamp, of Houston, wasn’t sure what he will do with all that money. “Maybe buy an iPod,� he said after some thought. Pollard, along with Michelle Mumford, Shelby County clerk of courts, and Sidney Body Carstar, also purchased the top cake, an angel food made by Connie Snapp, of Houston, for $275. Pollard’s wife, Heather, urged him to buy it because “it looked good,� she said. “We just like supporting Shelby County,� she added. John Bertsch, of Detailed Machine, paid $325 for a plate of cinnamon rolls made by Trisha Schulze, of Sidney.

Detailed Machine has purchased the grand champion yeast bread and rolls entry in six of the last seven years. Keeping prizes in the family, Laura Schulze, Trisha’s mother, won a ribbon for her grand champion sour cream cherry almond coffee cake, which was bought by Julie Ehemann, Bob Guillozet and Troy Keyes for $275. “I got the recipe from a Sidney Daily News Holiday Cookbook from years ago,� Schulze said. “I changed things some. I picked the cherries from my neighbor. I’m excited that all that hard work paid off!� Schulze uses her winnings to make donations to nonprofit organizations. “This allows me to donate to lots of charities,� she said. Luann Pellman, of Sidney, has been entering baked goods “a lot,� she said. She won for the first time with an almondcrusted blueberry goat cheese pie. She found the recipe on the Internet after she had tasted the pie at a restaurant in Indiana. It was purchased by Detailed Machine for $300. See CANDY | 3

What is the wording of the levy on the ballot? Editor’s note: In preparation for the August special election, the Sidney Daily News, in conjunction with the Citizens for Sidney Schools levy committee, will be publishing a question of the week to inform voters about the five-year, 1 percent income tax levy. How is the ballot worded? The ballot substantially reads as follows: PROPOSED INCOME TAX S I DN EY CITY SCHOOL DISTRICT A majority affirmative vote is necessary for passage Shall an annual income tax of one percent (1%) on the school district income of individuals and of estates be imposed by the Sidney City School District for a five (5) year period, beginning January 1, 2014 for the purpose of current expenses? FOR THE TAX AGAINST THE TAX ———

SIDNEY SCHOOL LEVY FACTS The Citizens for Sidney Schools comment this proposed 1 percent, fiveyear income tax is considered “traditional� and is not an increase in revenue collected, but a replacement option to compensate for the expiring 9.9 mill emergency property tax levy and expired .8 mill permanent improvement levy. For more on who and what is taxed, see Guide to Ohio’s School District Income Tax available at: Citizens for Sidney Schools, www. sidneyschoolslevy.org; Sidney City Schools, www.sidney.k12.oh.us/; Ohio Department of Taxation, www.tax.ohio. gov.
