A disbelieving pall fell over the conference room at the Shelby County Board of Elections Tuesday night as members of the Sidney City School District embraced the reality that the 1 percent traditional income tax levy had been defeated by an unofficial count of 140 votes. “I’d like to thank everybody for their hard work,� said Superintendent John Scheu after the final vote was announced. The levy was defeated by a vote of 1,997 for and 2,137 against. A total of 4,135 of the district’s 13,194 (31.34 percent) voters cast their ballot

in Tuesday’s special election. In the city of Sidney, 1,537 votes cast yes votes, while 1,594 cast no votes. In the county portion of the school district, 460 voters voted yes, while 543 voted no. “We’re going to come back and regroup and see where we go from here,� said Scheu. The reality, said Scheu, is, as of Dec. 31, there will be $4.7 million coming off the books when the 9.9 mill emergency property tax expires. “That will have to be replaced somehow,� said Scheu. “We have cut to the bare bones. We’ll have

to see where we go from here.� Scheu said he was disappointed in the results. “I respect and honor the voting process,� said Scheu. “It’s disheartening to me because of all the cuts our staff has made.� Levy co-chairmen Renee Davis, Dave Rose and Bill Warner issued the following statement after the results were announced: “As disappointed as we are, we have the utmost respect for our voting process, the result of which requires us to be steadfast in our adopted responsi# 29>9 n 966C <//8 bility. “Our school system Sidney Schools Superintendent John Scheu (left) and Treasurer Mike Watkins tally the election results as they

Ash trees to be removed from Tawawa Park The removal of ash trees from Tawawa Park was discussed Monday during the Sidney Recreation Board’s meeting. The city has applied for a grant with the Ohio Department of Natural Resources to assist with the removal of diseased trees, said Jim Heuing, parks department employee. The $50,000 grant will also be used to remove 18 trees from city streets. The grant is a 50/50 grant, meaning the city will provide funds of $25,000. These funds will be paid through “in-kind labor� by city employees. More than 200 trees in the park have been measured for removal, said Heuing. If the trunk is 14 inches or smaller, city employees will remove the trees. Any tree with a trunk of more than 15 inches in diameter will be removed by a contractor. Some of the

trees have 30-inch trunks. In 2012, 20 trees were removed from Bakers range. Another 30 are to be removed this year. The grant money will be used to remove as many trees as possible. It is estimated that 150 trees will be removed. Tawawa Park’s trees include 30 percent ash trees. Once the trees are removed, they will be taken to the recycling center on Brooklin Avenue, said Heuing, where city residents will be able to cut up the trees for free lumber. Jennie Rogers, recreation specialist, told the board a policy is currently being drafted to establish a fundraising policy for events held in city park system. “The people holding the fundraiser has to have city ties,� said Rogers. “We’re going to keep track of where

the money goes, to make sure it’s going to a nonprofit group.� Rogers gave each member of the board four examples of a possible logo for the Parks Department. She asked that each member email her by Monday with the one they like best. The work on the tennis courts at Sidney High School is now complete. The courts are now blue. Funding for the project was provided by the city, the school district and a local tennis foundation. Rogers also reported that the two-weeks of free swimming lessons was a huge success. Every slot was filled, she said. Children from Sidney and some from Anna and Houston participated in the program, which was sponsored by Cargill and Alvetro Orthoontics.

Anna chief placed on paid leave Kathy Leese ANNA — Anna Police Chief Scott Evans has been placed on administrative leave with pay following a special meeting of Anna Village Council Monday night. At issue is a residency requirement which has reportedly not been resolved following two extensions of time for him to move into the village. The latest extension expired July 31. Council immediately went into executive session upon convening Monday and afterwards Councilman Richard Eshleman made a brief statement, telling a packed room that Scott Evans council needed to consult with the village solicitor. The meeting was then adjourned with no action taken. Those present were not allowed to speak, but Eshleman said they might be able to do so at next Tuesday’s regular council meeting. The Sidney Daily News later learned that council did make a decision to place Evans on administrative leave during Monday’s closed door session. Mayor Robert Anderson confirmed that Evans was placed on leave when he reported for work Tuesday morning. “Scott has been put on administrative leave for 10 days to two weeks,� Anderson said. “I signed the paper, he signed the paper.� See LEAVE | 3

has reduced its annual operating budget by over $6 million or 16 percent, added education and security programs without increasing taxes, all by living within our means. The compelling need remains on the table to replace the revenue that is being lost by the expiring 9.9 mill emergency property tax levy. We ask that all citizens be involved, understand the school’s mission and finances and bring holistic solutions to the identified concerns so that together we can make Sidney City Schools better than any single one of us can imagine.” Chris Gibbs, a member of the board of elections, said there are 55 to 60 provisional ballots that haven’t been counted. There are another seven absentee ballots that haven’t been received. All absentee ballots must have a postmark of Aug. 5 to be counted. The results, said Gibbs, will be certified on Aug. 19. The process to put the income tax levy back on the November ballot is underway. Resolutions had to be approved prior to the election as required by the Ohio Revised Code. “We have to look at the overall picture of this election,” said Scheu. “This is perplexing to me because in 2010 we did a survey and the community said they would like an income tax over a property tax. We have to try to find out what went wrong and see where we go from here. “I would like to thank the voters who came out to support us,” he said. The teachers in the district, said Scheu, took the largest reduction in salary in the state when finances became dire. More than 100 staff members were cut to save the district money. “We are running a lean ship,” said Scheu. “I believe that with all my heart. I also know that the $4.7 million can’t be cut out of the budget. “We have no cuts planned because we are cut to the bare bones. I don’t know where we can come up with any more cuts,” he said. The Sidney City Schools Board of Education’s next regular meeting will be held Aug. 19 at 5:30 p.m. at the board office.

Leave From page 1 Anderson said he wasn’t entirely sure if the action was “absolutely legal,” however. Under the Ohio Open Meeting Law, public boards may not take action in executive session. Anderson said Evans showed up for work Tuesday morning in uniform. “He knew nothing about this until he came to work. That’s the way we wanted it, because we didn’t want him to come in here all flustered.” Anderson said a document presented to Evans read in part: “Nobody really wanted this to happen, but our lack of confidence in your professionalism has diminished. This leave is to give us time for legal advice and investigation. This administrative leave will be given with pay. At the time of your acceptance of this document, you will be asked to turn over your badge, gun and keys to the village property. During this leave, please refrain from going on or into Anna village property.” Anderson clarified that “village property” was a reference to the village hall and the Anna Police Department, as well as other village-owned property. He noted Evans can enter the village for other reasons, however. Anderson said Evans was also allowed to keep his gun because he owns it. The mayor explained what took place at Monday’s meeting and

why the public was not informed of the action. He said the decision to place Evans on leave was approved by vote in the executive session. He said they did not take a vote in open session because they didn’t want word to get out before they could contact Evans and “get this thing done.” “I don’t know whether that’s absolutely legal or not,” Anderson commented. Anderson said he did call Village Solicitor Steve Geise while in the executive session and sought his advice. “And he gave me instructions how to do it.” Anderson said he “feels bad” that the action had to be taken against Evans. Anna Police Officer Lynn Marsee will serve as interim chief at Evans’ request. She will reportedly be doing the scheduling of police officers. She is reportedly dividing her time between Anna and Botkins, where she lives and is also an officer. Anderson said the village is in the process of promoting Marsee to the rank of sergeant. Anderson said he does not know if Evans will be at the council meeting next Tuesday. He did encourage the public to attend, however. The meeting will be at 7 p.m. “We will open it to questions,” he said, noting that Geise should also be present.

Records broken at Sale of Champions Shelby County was well represented during the Sale of Champions Sunday at the Ohio State Fair. Participants from Auglaize, Logan and Miami County also were featured in the sale. The livestock auction, held in the WCOL Celeste Center, showcased Ohio’s premium livestock, premier Junior Fair exhibitors and generous supporters. On the sale bill were grand champion and reserve champion meat chickens, market lambs, market barrows and market beef, as well as grand champion market goat, turkey and a block of Swiss cheese to represent the six dairy champions. Seven records were broken at the sale. The grand champion market goat was shown by Michaela Ambos of Shelby County. It was purchased for a new record of $20,000 by Mark and Megan Kvamme, of Sunbury. There was a cap of $5,000 on the sale. The grand champion market beef was shown by Brooke Egbert of Auglaize County. The animal was purchased by Rauch Excavation for $70,000. There was a cap of $21,000 on the price. The reserve grand champion market beef was shown by Madison Clark, Miami County. It was purchased by Mark and Megan Kvamme, Sunbury, for $35,000. There was a cap of $10,000 on the sale.

The grand champion Swiss cheese, produced by Guggisberg Cheese Co., represented the six dairy champions and supreme dairy showmen. Local exhibitors were Lane Greiwe, Shelby County, grand champion Aryshire; Kinley Topp, Shelby County, grand champion brown Swiss; Keaton Topp, Shelby County, grand champion guernsey; and Trevor Greiwe, Logan County, grand champion Jersey. It was purchased by Kroger Deli & Bakery Department, American Dairy Association – Mideast, Brewster Dairy, Inc., LongAcre Farm, Biery Cheese, COBA Select Sires, Dairymans, Great Lakes cheese, Maryland Virginia Milk Producers and Burkhart Farm Center for a new state fair record of $19,700.

There was a cap of $9,000 on the sale. “We are incredibly thankful for the support of our buyers,” said General Manager Virgil Strickler. “Not only was this great for the champions, but it will provide support to youth participants for years to come with a record breaking $267,400 raised for the Youth Reserve Program.” While these Junior

Fair exhibitors take great pride in raising a quality animal, the ultimate goal each year is to be awarded a grand champion ribbon. Grand or reserve champion is an immense honor for the exhibitor; and with the Youth Reserve Program and generous buyers, it is rewarding for the entire Junior Fair program. This year’s sale broke seven records which included grand champion Swiss cheese, grand champion turkey, grand champion meat goat, grand champion meat chicken, reserve grand champion meat chicken, reserve grand champion market lamb and reserve grand champion barrow. Established in 1995, the Youth Reserve Program’s was developed to reward junior exhibitors who participate in the Ohio State Fair. Funds for the program come from the dollars received over a cap that is placed on the amount an exhibitor can receive from the Sale of Champions. The funds from the program are distributed among carcass contests, scholarships, outstanding market exhibitor program, outstanding breeding exhibitor program, showmanship, skillathons, 4-H and FFA. The Youth Reserve Program has awarded $2,291,925 to approximately 31,500 youth exhibitors since its inception.

6th Ohioan dies in Legionnaires’ disease outbreak Ohio inmate Kantele Franko Associated Press

COLUMBUS (AP) — A sixth death was confirmed Tuesday in Ohio’s largest outbreak of Legionnaires’ disease as the affected retirement complex took steps to prevent further illness and health officials tried to determine what caused a second outbreak about 80 miles away. Thirty-nine people, including eight visitors and one employee, have been sickened at Wesley Ridge Retirement Community

in Reynoldsburg, just east of Columbus. The disease, a rare type of pneumonia, isn’t contagious. People contract it by breathing in water droplets contaminated with bacteria that are found naturally in water and sometimes multiply in large or complex man-made water systems, such as plumbing in large buildings. Most people exposed to the bacteria don’t become ill, but those who are older or have weakened immune systems are at higher risk. Those affected at Wesley Ridge ranged in age from

63 to 99. The six who died were residents. The bacteria were found in a cooling tower and the water system at the complex, which used high heat and chlorine to try to destroy the bacteria after a few of the roughly 225 residents first became sick last month. The retirement community is testing water, installing special filtering shower heads and planning to create longterm testing and maintenance plans to ensure no one else becomes ill, said Margaret Carmany, CEO of Wesley Ridge’s parent company, Methodist ElderCare Services. “I’m doing everything in my power to make sure we get rid of this bacteria and we keep it out of our system,” Carmany said. She said the complex had met or exceeded regulators’ water safety standards prior to the outbreak. Once the outbreak is fully addressed, the Ohio Department of Health plans

discussions about whether pretreating water systems would be a cost-effective way to reduce the risk at facilities like hospitals and nursing homes, which have complex water systems and patrons with increased vulnerability to disease, department spokeswoman Tessie Pollock said. Meanwhile, health officials in western Ohio are searching for another bacteria source after one person died and a second became ill at an auto parts supplier in St. Marys. The Auglaize County Health Department said no update on those cases was available Tuesday. Ohio has had at least 326 cases of Legionnaires’ disease this year, with a total of eight deaths in five outbreaks, according to the Department of Health. The state had 290 cases last year and 390 cases in 2011, when an outbreak at a hospital was linked to 11 cases, including two deaths. About 3,000 cases of Legionnaires’ disease are reported annually to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, though the CDC estimates 8,000 to 18,000 people in the U.S. are hospitalized with the illness each year. Most people who become ill with Legionnaires’ disease recover if they’re treated, according to the National Institutes of Health.

didn’t know of late appeal John Seewer Associated Press

A condemned Ohio man who apparently hanged himself just days before his execution didn’t know his legal team had new information about his case and planned to ask for a delay, one of his lawyers said. Billy Slagle died Sunday after he was found in his cell on Ohio’s death row, a day before his attorneys were to ask the state Supreme Court to stop the execution. It had been scheduled for Wednesday. A coroner said preliminary autopsy results were consistent with suicide by hanging. Prison officials haven’t said how Slagle, 44, hanged himself. Slagle’s attorneys found out late Friday afternoon that prosecutors had offered their client a plea deal before his 1988 trial but that Slagle’s former attorneys didn’t tell him about the offer. The Columbus Dispatch first reported their discovery. Recent U.S. Supreme Court rulings on cases where attorneys fail to inform clients about a plea offer would have bolstered their argument, said Vicki Werneke, a public defender representing Slagle. “We were hopeful the Ohio Supreme Court would have granted a stay,” she said. The new information about the plea offer was brought to light by Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Timothy McGinty, who called Slagle’s attorneys. McGinty told them that the county’s former prosecutor offered Slagle a 30-year sentence if he pleaded guilty. A former assistant prosecutor who worked on the case recently alerted the office about the forgotten plea deal, said McGinty spokesman Joe Frolik. “We felt we had to let Slagle’s appeals team know that,” he said. The county prosecutor’s office would not have opposed a request to delay the execution based on the new evidence, Frolik said.

President George W. Bush has stent procedure

Today is Wednesday, Aug. 7, the 219th day of 2013. There are 146 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On August 7, 1782, Gen. George Washington created the Order of the Purple Heart, a decoration to recognize merit in enlisted men and noncommissioned officers. On this date: In 1882, the famous feud between the Hatfields of West Virginia and the McCoys of Kentucky erupted into fullscale violence. In 1927, the already opened Peace Bridge connecting Buffalo, N.Y., and Fort Erie, Ontario, Canada, was officially dedicated. In 1942, U.S. and other allied forces landed at Guadalcanal, marking the start of the first major allied offensive in the Pacific during World War II. (Japanese forces abandoned the island the following February.) In 1947, the balsa wood raft Kon-Tiki, which had carried a six-man crew 4,300 miles across the Pacific Ocean, crashed into a reef in a Polynesian archipelago; all six crew members reached land safely. In 1959, the United States launched the Explorer 6 satellite, which sent back images of Earth. In 1963, first lady Jacqueline Kennedy gave birth to a boy, Patrick Bouvier Kennedy, who died two days later of respiratory distress syndrome. In 1964, Congress passed the Gulf of Tonkin resolution, giving President Lyndon B. Johnson broad powers in dealing with reported North Vietnamese attacks on U.S. forces. In 1971, the Apollo 15 moon mission ended successfully as its command module splashed down in the Pacific Ocean. In 1989, a plane carrying U.S. Rep. Mickey Leland, D-Texas, and 14 others disappeared over Ethiopia. (The wreckage of the plane was found six days later; there were no survivors.) In 1993, the public got its first glimpse inside Buckingham Palace as people were given the opportunity to tour the London home of Queen Elizabeth II. (Proceeds were earmarked to help repair fire damage at Windsor Castle.) In 1998, terrorist bombs at U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania killed 224 people, including 12 Americans.

Fort Hood gunman precisely planned attack

Heat wave revives ‘dead’ man BEIJING (AP) — Having the dead guy jump up for a drink probably wasn’t part of the script. A staged protest claiming that city officials had beaten a sidewalk vendor to death in central China went awry when the man playing dead under a white sheet was overcome by the region’s heat wave and sprang up to quaff a bottle of water, state media reported Monday. “It’s too hot. I can’t bear it anymore,” the man was quoted as saying by state-run Xinhua News Agency. More than 10 men had gathered Saturday with a gurney that purportedly carried the vendor’s body, covered by a sheet, in the Hubei provincial capital Wuhan. They were demanding tens of thousands of yuan (thousands of dollars) in compensation for the alleged death, Xinhua said. The incident drew 300 onlookers and about 80 police officers. It was not immediately clear how the group intended to press their claims without submitting the body for an investigation and autopsy. In any case, the game was up when the man - as Xinhua reported - jumped up after two hours under the sheet. The man on the gurney was identified only by his surname Han, and he has been detained for disturbing social order, said a district administration official in Wuhan contacted by telephone. She refused to give her name.

Former President George W. Bush successfully underwent a heart procedure in Dallas on Tuesday after doctors discovered a blockage in an artery during his annual physical, Bush spokesman Freddy Ford said. “At the recommendation of his doctors, President Bush agreed to have a stent placed to open the blockage,” Ford said. “The procedure was performed successfully this morning, without complication, at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital.” Bush, 67, was expected to be discharged Wednesday and resume his normal schedule the following day. The blockage was discovered Monday during Bush’s physical at the Cooper Clinic in Dallas, where the nation’s 43rd president lives. Bush was described as being “in high spirits” and eager to return home. “He is grateful to the skilled medical professionals who have cared for him,” Ford said. “He thanks his family, friends, and fellow citizens for their prayers and well wishes. And he encourages us all to get our regular check-ups.” Stents are mesh scaffoldings that prop open arteries typically clogged by years of quiet cholesterol buildup. About half a million people have stents inserted in the U.S. each year, generally involving an overnight stay in the hospital. Doctors usually guide a narrow tube through a blood ves-

sel near the groin up to the heart, inflate a tiny balloon to flatten the blockage and insert the stent. Sometimes, they insert it through an artery in the wrist to lower the risk of bleeding. Doctors often recommend first trying medication to treat a clogged artery. More severe blockages, particularly in several arteries, may require bypass surgery. Arteries can reclog, so patients often are put on heart-friendly diets or medication. White House press secretary Jay Carney told reporters that President Barack Obama was briefed on Bush’s procedure and “obviously wishes him well.” He didn’t believe Obama and Bush had spoken, Carney said. Bush is known as a fitness buff. In 1993, before he was elected Texas governor, he ran the Houston Marathon in a respectable 3:44.52. While in the White House, he frequently used a quartermile jogging path on the south lawn. Bush was known to run about three miles four days a week, and cross-trained with swimming, free weights and an elliptical trainer. When doctors found his knees were getting damaged, he turned to mountain biking. Since leaving office, Bush hosts and leads an annual 100-kilometer mountain bike ride with about 20 wounded military veterans. This year’s ride was near Waco and his Central Texas ranch. He’s also led a group of vets on bikes similarly through Texas’ rugged Big Bend National Park. But while Bush doesn’t have

a history of heart trouble, he has needed medical attention several times. In May 2004, toward the end of his first term, Bush fell from his mountain bike during a 17-mile ride. He was wearing a helmet and mouthguard but sustained scrapes and scratches to his face, hand and knees. In July 2005, he crashed his bike again while on a slick pavement in Scotland and suffered some bruises and scrapes to a hand and arm. In 2002, he briefly lost consciousness while watching a football game on TV at the White House and hit his head. The incident was blamed on

him not feeling well and an improperly eaten pretzel. In 1998 and 1999, while governor of Texas, he had two benign colonic polyps removed. In 2002, while president, he had a follow-up colonoscopy and invoked a section of the 25th Amendment temporarily transferring presidential powers to Vice President Dick Cheney. The colonoscopy showed no signs of cancer. ——— Graczyk reported from Houston and Neergaard reported from Washington. Associated Press writer Nedra Pickler in Washington contributed to this report.

This courtroom sketch shows military prosecutor Lt. Col. Steve Henricks (right) speaking as Nidal Malik Hasan (center) and presiding judge Col. Tara Osborn look on during his court-martial Tuesday in Forth Hood, Texas. Hasan is representing himself against charges of murder and attempted murder for the 2009 attack that left 13 people dead at Forth Hood.

Norman Merchant and Paul J. Weber Associated Press

FORT HOOD, Texas (AP) — Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan fired the last of 146 bullets in his assault on Fort Hood, then walked outside where he met two civilians who asked about the commotion and the laser-sighted pistol in his hand. Hasan told one person not to worry. He assured the other it was just a training exercise and the gun shot only paint. He let both live. But moments earlier, dozens of uniformed soldiers received no quarter from Hasan, military prosecutors said Tuesday as the Army psychiatrist’s longdelayed trial began. Hasan, who admits to killing 13 people and wounding 32 others in the 2009 attack, matter-of-factly told a jury of 13 officers that he was the gunman. “The evidence will clearly show that I am the shooter,” he said, calmly delivering an opening statement that lasted little more than a minute. His only utterance of regret was toward his religion for being among the “imperfect Muslims trying to establish the perfect religion.” “I apologize for any mistakes I made in this endeavor,” said Hasan, an American-born 42-yearold who was paralyzed after being shot by officers

responding to the attack. Hasan planned the assault for months, prosecutor Col. Steve Henricks said, describing how Hasan stockpiled bullets, practiced at a shooting range and bought an extender kit so his pistol could hold more bullets. If convicted, Hasan faces the death penalty. No American soldier has been executed since 1961, and military prosecutors showed right from their opening statements that they will take no chance of fumbling details that could jeopardize any conviction down the line. They described a calculating Hasan, armed with two handguns and carrying paper towels in his pants pockets to conceal the sounds of rattling ammunition as he walked through a deployment-readiness center on the sprawling base. “He came to believe he had a jihad duty to murder his fellow soldiers,” Henricks said, adding that Hasan researched Taliban leaders’ call to wage holy war. The government has also said Hasan sent more than a dozen emails starting in December 2008 to Anwar al-Awlaki, a radical U.S.born Islamic cleric killed by a drone strike in Yemen in 2011. The shooting happened about three weeks after Hasan learned he would be deploying to Afghanistan. Upon getting the orders

that he was going overseas, Hasan told a base doctor that, “They’ve got another thing coming if they think they are going to deploy me,” Henricks said. On the day of the attack, Hasan sat among his fellow soldiers who were preparing to go overseas. He tried to clear the area of civilians, even walking over to a civilian data clerk to tell her she was needed elsewhere in the building because a supervisor was looking for her. The prosecutor said the clerk thought that was odd but went anyway. “He then yelled ‘Allahu akbar!’ and opened fire on unarmed, unsuspecting and defenseless soldiers,” Henricks told the jury. During Tuesday’s proceedings, Hasan mostly looked down or straight ahead, occasionally leafing through paperwork with his right hand while seated at the defense table. Acting as his own attorney, he politely addressed witnesses from his wheelchair, wearing green Army fatigues and a gray, bushy beard. He asked few, if any, questions as prosecutors elicited testimony recounting his firearm purchases at a store called Guns Galore in nearby Killeen. But Hasan didn’t pass on a chance to cross-examine his former supervisor, who had given Hasan high marks on an evaluation the very week of what Hasan would only call “the incident.”

SANAA, Yemen (AP) — Yemen was thrust back into the forefront of the international fight against terrorism Tuesday when the U.S. and Britain evacuated embassy staff due to a threatened attack, a suspected U.S. drone killed four alleged members of al-Qaida, and militants shot down a Yemeni army helicopter. As Westerners flew out of the country, Yemeni authorities launched a wide investigation into the al-Qaida threat to multiple potential targets in the impoverished Arab nation. Security officials said they believed the terror network was seeking retaliation for a U.S.-backed military offensive that has dealt serious setbacks to the terror network’s most active branch, including the death earlier this year of its No. 2 leader. The Yemeni army, meanwhile, surrounded foreign installations, government offices and the airport with tanks and troops in the nation’s capital, Sanaa, as well as the strategic Bab al-Mandeb straits at the entrance to the Red Sea in the southern Arabian Peninsula, drawing parallels with security measures following the 2000 bombing of the USS Cole in Aden harbor that killed 17 American sailors. Authorities also set up checkpoints across Sanaa, searching cars and individuals, especially after night fell. Top government officials, along with military and security commanders, were told to stay vigilant and limit their movements. Although the immediate threat seemed to be focused on Yemen, the U.S. has temporarily shut down 19 diplomatic posts in the Middle East and Africa. A U.S. intelligence official and a Mideast diplomat told The Associated Press that the closures were triggered by the interception of a secret message between al-Qaida chief Ayman al-Zawahri and Nasser al-Wahishi, the leader of the Yemen-based al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula, about plans for a major terror attack. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the matter publicly. Zawahri also made a public statement on July 30 that exhorted Muslims to kill Americans “in every spot on Earth.” Yemeni investigators looking into the threat said they believe the motive of the attack was retaliation for the killing of Saudi-born Saeed al-Shihri, who was released from the U.S. prison in Guantanamo Bay after nearly six years and later became the No. 2 al-Qaida leader in Yemen. Al-Shihri was critically wounded in a November drone strike and later died of his wounds, the militant group acknowledged. The terror network has suffered a series of setbacks after the military launched an offensive in June with the help of U.S. forces that has succeeded in uprooting it from strongholds in the south. The group had taken advantage of the instability after the Arab Spring wave of revolutions that led to the resignation of Yemen’s longtime leader, Ali Abdullah Saleh.

Find other ways to solve disagreements DR. WALLACE: I’m 13 and not afraid to stand up for myself when someone tries to pick on me. I live with my mother and my grandparents. I’ve been in three fistfights in my life. I clearly won two of them and will admit that I lost one. My grandmother thinks it’s terrible that I get in fistfights and keeps telling my mother that I’m “overly aggressive.” Three fights in 13 years should prove to her that I’m a pretty mild guy. Of course, my grandfather is proud of me when I defend myself. He always tells me tales of the fights he was in when he was young. My mom agrees with my grandmother. Thank goodness I have a man in the house to back me up. Do you see anything wrong in defending myself ? —Ben, Indianapolis, Ind. BEN: There’s nothing wrong with defending yourself, but I’m inclined

to think that, in your case, Grandmother is right. Having three fights by the time you’re 13 says to me you may be doing a little more than defending yourself. Fighting, of course, is definitely a boy thing. In a React Magazine poll of more than 6,000 teens from across the country, 80 percent of the boys said they had been in at least one physical altercation with another boy, while only 27 percent of the girls had been in a fight with another girl. When asked why they were in a fight, most of the guys said they thought it was a normal part of growing up, while the majority of female combatants felt fighting was stupid and were extremely sorry their fight ever took place. I’d say you have had more than your share of physical altercations, Ben. Cool it a little and start looking for other ways to solve your dis-

Sidney students generous with money and time

Elizabeth Martinez displays one of the paintings in her exhibit at Amos Memorial Public Library.

Paintings of New Mexico in library exhibit Local artist Elizabeth Martinez is the artist featured during August in the art gallery of the Amos Library, 230 E. North St. Her show, “Return to New Mexico 2013,” features paintings about her return journey to New Mexico. She has been exhibiting her work at the library for more than 25 years. Her medium is acrylic. The exhibit is open to the public during regular library hours, which are Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays, 11 a.m. - 8 p.m.; Wednesdays and Fridays, 9 a.m. - 6 p.m.; and Saturdays 11 a.m. - 4 p.m.

It has been said that we make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give. Students throughout Sidney City Schools are learning the value of generosity at a young age through the many volunteer jobs and fundraisers they take part in throughout the school year. During the 2012-2013 school year, Sidney City Schools’ students and staff raised more than $8,000 for various organizations. Whittier Elementary’s Hats Off to Luke fundraiser raised more than $500 for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation in honor of Whittier student Luke Bemus. Longfellow Elementary raised more than $600 for the MS Walk of Shelby County. Northwood Elementary Student Council was able to give $100 each to S.C.A.R.F., Relay for Life, Make-A-Wish Foundation, and Net Project, due to the generosity of students and staff during the council’s candygram fundraiser. Emerson Elementary was able to

raise more than $300 for the Shelby County Animal Shelter during the Emerson Festival. Sidney Middle School’s FCCLA club raised $1,700 through the donations of students during their two-week Pennies for Patients fund drive, benefiting the Leukemia and Lymphoma Foundation. Additionally, they raised more than $500 through their pillow project, in which the group made 67 pillows from authentic African fabric to raise money for orphans in Africa. All of Sidney Middle School raised close to $1,500 to send four veterans to Washington, D.C., in the fall. Sidney High School National Honor Society students raised more than $350 for S.C.A.R.F.’s Dimes for Dogs contest . Additionally, this group of students must volunteer throughout the year. SHS football players spent a warm Saturday morning this past June washing cars at Sidney Body Carstar to help raise close to $2,000 for Make-A-Wish

and Relay for Life. SHS Student Government also runs a food drive around the holidays. District-wide through the Cans for Canines project, Sidney City Schools has collected cans to recycle worth $1,046. SMS FCCLA documented more than 200 hours of community service through their projects. Language arts classrooms at Sidney Middle School make use of FreeRice.com as a vocabulary learning tool that donates rice to children in need for every correct answer. “This is just the tip of the iceberg of the amount our students and staff give and care,” said Superintendent John Scheu. “Most impressive is our district-wide contribution to the 2012 United Way giving campaign of $33,046. $1,650 of this was from our students! The lesson of giving back is something we hope will stay with our students long after they graduate.”

Bollheimer among Wall of Honor inductees FORT LORAMIE — The Fort Loramie Education Foundation (FLEF) announced the Fort Loramie Schools Wall of Honor Induction Ceremony will take place on Sept. 29 at 2 p.m. The event will be held in the Fort Loramie High School Gymnasium with a reception immediately following in the cafeteria. The individuals being inducted into the Wall of Honor at this years ceremony are James Wehrman, Paul Bollheimer, James Dillehay and Sister Marge Eilerman OSF. The public is invited and encouraged to attend this upcoming event. Mark the date and time and join us for this tribute to commemorate our inductees. The purpose of the Wall of Honor is to recognize and honor those persons living or deceased, who, through their performance, achievements and contributions, reflect credit on the Fort Loramie Local Schools, so that present-day students may find identity with the past and establish goals for the future. The Wall of Honor will reinforce and enhance a positive image inside and out-

side of the Fort Loramie school district, as it also strives to foster an increased sense of pride among students, faculty, administration, alumni and residents. FLEF has worked in collaboration with Studio Eleven Promotional Products/Vivid MFG Group on the Wall of Honor display. The Wall of Honor display at the Junior/ Senior High School is an everlasting visual reminder of the dedication the inductees have provided to the school district, community and world. Paul A. Bollheimer Paul A. Bollheimer, a 1937 graduate of Fort Loramie High School, has led an adventurous and fulfilling life. For over 40 years as a geophysical engineer, Paul has played a major role in the discovery and development of three super giant oil fields. Bollheimer was born in Fort Loramie on Dec. 12, 1919. While in high school, he served as president of his senior class. Paul finished first of all seniors in Shelby County class “B” schools on an achievement/aptitude test. He worked on the staff of one of Fort

Loramie’s oldest newspapers, The Western Times. He also worked at Borchers Store. Bollheimer did not shy away from adventure. As a teenager, he took up amateur boxing. Having fought a few fights above Brucken’s Café, he went on to become the Golden Gloves Champion of the Lima region in the 128-pound division. One summer he traveled through the South selling magazines door to door. In August and September of 1939, Bollheimer and his friend Ray Raterman hitchhiked and rode trains to California and back, working as they traveled. They left with $25 each and returned with $5 each. In 1940-41, Bollheimer worked for a wallpaper company in northern Ohio and southern Michigan, eventually becoming the manager of his own store. At the start of World War II, Bollheimer enlisted in the United States Marine Corps, serving for six years. At Paris Island boot camp, he was assigned to a new glider detachment. He became crew chief for the commander of the

Foundation developing Mentor Program FORT LORAMIE — The Fort Loramie Education Foundation is currently working toward the development of a Mentor Program. The intent of this program is strictly to benefit the students by providing an avenue to establish contact with Fort Loramie alumni for the purpose of the exploration of a certain profession and for career planning. People are asked to consider joining the alumni page provided on the school’s website at http://www.loramie.k12.oh.us/Alumni. aspx., in order to help build the contact base for the upperclassmen. FLEF is a broad-based, nonprofit community organization whose purpose is exclusively educational and charitable. Its charge is to operate for the benefit of students, former students and all people seeking education whose parents have been or who currently are taxpayers in or residents of the Fort Loramie School District.

glider group, who flew an open cockpit wooden, single-engine plane called the Timm (N2T1). Among 400 Marines, he scored first overall in the mechanical aptitude test. He then entered navigation school. He became a navigator and instructor, teaching navigation to many of the pilots who served in the Pacific. He also attended Night Fighter Airborne Radar Operator School. Paul achieved the rank of warrant officer. After the war, Bollheimer attended Long Beach City

College and the Colorado Schools of Mines in Golden, Colo. He graduated as a geophysical engineer in 1951. His first job involved oil exploration for the Shell Oil Co. In his 40 years in the oil industry, he played a major role in the discovery of three super giant oil fields in virgin territory, all in excess of 10 billion barrels of oil. The first discovery was in 1957-1959 in Tripoli, Libya, for Carter Oil Co. The second was in 19641965 in Prudhoe Bay, Alaska, for Richfield Oil, the largest oil field in North America at that time. Bollheimer was solely responsible for the maps used by this company to determine where to drill. The third major discovery came in 1985-1986 in Venezuela. Bollheimer retired in 1986 and lives in Houston, Texas. He enjoys researching genealogy and studying natural herbs, even processing some of his own. His wife Jane is deceased. They were married for 52 years. He has one son, Ron, and two stepchildren. In 2012, Paul celebrated his 93rd birthday.

Former Houston resident selected for American Society for Quality’s Influential Voices Program such as India, Ecuador, China, Malaysia, Australia, and the United States, and comprise a wide range of industries. Walters, a former engineer for The Dannon Co. in Minster, has been writing about Lean and continuous improvement principles in small businesses and sports organizations for nearly two years on his Lean Blitz Consulting blog, covering topics such as Major League Baseball pace of play, the Ryan Braun scandal, fan experiences at stadiums, sports equipment production, Augusta National

City’s utilities plans for the future

Mike Seffrin

mseffrin@civitasmedia.com

Sidney’s water, wastewater treatment and stormwater facilities are in good shape and preparing to meet future needs, Sidney City Council was told Monday night. City staff members gave PowerPoint presentations on the utilities during a council work session. The annual reports are required as part of the city’s Imagine Sidney 2025! comprehensive plan. Gary Clough, assistant city manager/ public works director, talked about wastewater, concluding that the plant is operating very efficiently and is exceeding Ohio Environmental Protection Agency requirements for removal of pollutants. He also presented figures that show the facility would be able to handle industrial growth. Jason Smith, assistant superintendent of the water treatment plant, concluded the system is in good shape, although factors such as droughts and floods, water sources, the economy, EPA regulations, and upcoming equipment improvement projects must be considered. Acquring a new water source is a major future project. The city plans to spend an estimated $23.5 million (including land acquisition in Washington Township, design and construction) on that project. Brent Bruggeman, stormwater coordinator, concluded that the city is meeting all Ohio EPA requirements. Enforcement of regulations has been accomplished through education, rather than penalties. He said storm sewer mapping still needs to be started and future removal of clean water from sanitary sewers will place additional demands on the storm sewer system. In other business, council discussed

a proposal by the Raise the Roof for the Arts group to install a new heating, ventilation and air-conditioning system at the Historic Sidney Theatre. This would would involve placing an HVAC unit that would encroach about three feet onto city property. The encroachment possibly would affect three parking spaces in the parking lot that is leased by Canal Place and reserved for Canal Place residents. Sarah Barr, project coordinator with Raise the Roof, told council the owner of Canal Place supports the group’s plans. Mayor Michael Barhorst, who noted the the parking lot is less than a third full of cars, said he wasn’t opposed to giving up the three spaces, but wondered if that would conflict with the agreement the city has with Canal Place. City Manager Mark Cundiff said the lease has been in effect a long time, but he hasn’t been able to find the paperwork in the city files. “They’ve been paying, but we’ve yet to find the lease,” he said. Mike Nauman, a member of the the firm that is designing the HVAC system, told council the unit will be 15 feet off the ground, so a vehicle actually could park under it. Law Director Jeff Amick said a survey of the property line is important because it has a bearing on what kind of agreement would be needed. The project organizers said a survey would be done. Council indicated it was not opposed to Raise the Roof’s plan, but wanted to wait for the survey before proceeding. Vice Mayor Mardie Milligan, who is president of Raise the Roof, excused herself from the council room during the discussion to avoid any appearance of conflict of interest.

Confederate General John Hunt Morgan led cavalrymen into battle in southwest Ohio in July 1863. His men, also known as Morgan’s Raiders, included Morgan’s younger brothers Calvin, Richard, Charleton and Thomas. His Chief of Staff was his brother-in-law Colonel Basil W. Duke. On July 2, the raid began in Kentucky with almost 2,500 men. Morgan and his Raiders moved from Kentucky into Indiana. On July 12, Ohio Governor David Tod called out Ohio’s militia to protect the southern parts of Ohio from the Raiders. Almost 50,000 men from 32 counties responded to the Governor’s call. On July 14, Morgan’s Raiders entered Ohio near Camp Dennison in Hamilton County. His troops burned bridges, destroyed railroad depots and threatened to burn down mills. More than 4,000 Ohio families had many items stolen. Morgan’s Raiders robbed farmhouses and looted stores, taking food, water, money and other John H. Morgan & wife items. Ohio farmers called Morgan the “king of Martha “Mattie” Ready horse thieves,” because he and his men stole Courtesy of the Library of Congress, more than 2,000 horses.

Hayes and William McKinley. Nearly 1,200 of Morgan’s men were taken prisoner while a Union gunboat kept them from escaping.

Grant awarded to Goodwill DAYTON — The Jack W. and Sally D. Eichelberger Foundation of The Dayton Foundation awarded a $500,000 grant to Goodwill Easter Seals Miami Valley for a community conference center to be located in the Agency’s new Community Services Center being built on South Main Street. The Jack and Sally Eichelberger Community Conference Center will seat up to 150 people and provide much-needed space for participants, volunteers and employee training and programs. The conference center will also be available for use by other community organizations. “We are honored to have the support of the Eichelberger Foundation and to recognize their contribution through the naming of the Jack and Sally Eichelberger Community Conference Center,” said Amy Luttrell, president and CEO of Goodwill Easter Seals Miami Valley. “This gift will leave a legacy for the entire Miami Valley community and will benefit the thousands of individuals we serve each year.” The Eichelberger Foundation was established through The Dayton Foundation in 2006 to award grants to local organizations that enhance the education of the legal profession, the arts and the Dayton community. The agency provides more than 40 programs and services in a 23-county service area. GESMV empowers people with disabilities and other needs to achieve independence and enhance their lives. Goodwill Easter Seals Miami Valley recently announced plans to begin construction on its 100,000-square-foot facility on South Main Street in Dayton. The Community Services Center will dramatically increase the Agency’s capacity to serve more people with disabilities and other needs in a central, easily accessible location. Seven buildings in the northeast corner of Main and Lincoln Streets were demolished over the past nine months to make room for the new building. A $2 million Clean Ohio grant provided the funding for the demolition property remediation and preparation. The $14 million project will include a combination of funding from other sources.

Embarking on a two-year-long mission trip to Ethiopia is the Courter family (l-r) Maddy, 13; Jason, Elias, 2 1/2; and Cathy and Caleb, 15.

Family moving to Ethiopia

Averie Bornhorst As August rolls around and the summer comes to an end, most families are busy preparing for a new school year; the Courters, however, are preparing for something much larger. The family of five is readying itself for a two-year mission trip to Ethiopia. Up until a few years ago, Jason and Cathy Courter were living a normal life in Sidney with their two children, Caleb and Maddy. Jason was working at FrancisSchulze Co. in Russia while Cathy was teaching at Piqua Catholic School. Then, four years ago, they began the process of adopting a child from Ethiopia. After about two years, they were finally able to bring their new son, Elias, home. Just following the adoption, Jason and Cathy determined that their work with Ethiopia was not yet done. “When we got home from adopting Elias, we felt like God was still calling us to Ethiopia. We prayed about it and decided that he was calling us to move there and work with Project 61,” explained Cathy. Project 61 is a nonprofit organization that focuses on orphan care, equipping communities, and empowering local leaders in underdeveloped countries. After 18 years of marriage and with three children age 15, 13 and 2 1/2, the family is making the move happen – but not without the help of others. Project 61 helped the Courters to link up with their sending church of First City

Children in the village of Korah, Ethiopia, where the Courters will be working.

United Methodist in Thompson’s Station, Tenn. The family is also doing work to fundraise. “We’ve been going to lots of churches and speaking at lots of churches and fundraising that way,” Cathy said. In order to prepare for the trip, the entire family attended Mission Training International, near Colorado Springs, Colo. The monthlong seminar had two main goals. “Part of it was learning how to learn a new language. We did language drills and we had to make different sounds that aren’t in the English language. And then the other part was cross-cultural training,” Cathy said. Jason also did more extensive preparation abroad. “I went on a mission trip last year. It was

kind of a confirmation trip to make sure that this is what we’re supposed to do. I got to spend three days in Korah,” he said. Korah is the village in Ethiopia in which the Courters will be working. It is a community basically built around a trash dump near the capital city of Addis Ababa. Roughly 80 years ago, Korah was established by people seeking treatment for leprosy. The village is now in its third generation of children and is composed of more than 100,000 lepers, HIV/ AIDS patients, widows and orphans. “Some of these kids have families and some of them are just orphans that live alone in Korah – some of them just live on the streets,” Jason said. The Courters were drawn to Ethiopia by

these children. “We’ll be working with the local school kids that are sponsored through Project 61.” Cathy said. “Making sure they have their school supplies, dealing with any behavioral issues, just making sure they’re going to school.” While in Ethiopia, the Courter family will be staying in an apartment in the capital city. So although they’ll be working with people living in serious poverty, the Courters’ living conditions will be similar to what they currently are in the United States. But how do you pack for a trip of two years? “We’re not taking a whole lot with us. I’ve told the kids that they get two suitcases each,” Jason said. In order to continue the education of their kids while in Ethiopia, Cathy will be home-

schooling Caleb and Maddy. The Courters’ original plan was to leave for Ethiopia sometime this month, but this may no longer be the case. “We’re doing great with fundraising, but it’s taking longer than we thought,” Cathy said. In order to donate to the Courter family mission, visit www.ssmfi. org. Regardless of when they leave, the Courter family is ready. “We’re mostly excited. I think the nerves will come as we get our departure date and we actually go. But right now it’s just excitement,” Jason said. You can read more about the Courter family’s experience on their blog at www.goingtoloveandserve.blogspot. com.

Free, reduced lunches available Shelby County schools have announced the 2013-14 program year policy for free and reducedprice meals for students unable to pay the full price of meals served under the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Program, and free milk for split-day preschool students served under the Special Milk Program. Each school office has a copy of the policy, which may be reviewed by any interested party. The Federal Income Eligibility Guidelines will be used for determining eligibility. Children from families whose annual income is at or below the Federal Guidelines are eligible for free and reducedprice meals, or free milk if the school participates in the Special Milk Program. Application forms are being distributed to homes in a letter to parents or guardians. To apply for free and reduced-price benefits, households should fill out the application and return it to the school. Additional copies are available at the office in each school. A complete application is required. Households that currently receive Special Nutrition Assistance Program benefits (SNAP, formerly known as food stamps) or Ohio Works First (OWF) funds for a child must

provide the child’s name, the SNAP or OWF case number and signature of an adult household member on the application. Households which do not receive SNAP or OWF funds must provide the names of all household members, the last four digits of the Social Security number of the adult signing for the application or state “none” if the adult does not have a Social Security number, the amount and source of income received by each household member, and the signature of an adult household member. If any of this information is mission, the school cannot process the application. Free health care Families with children eligible for school meals may be eligible for free health care coverage through Medicaid and/or Ohio’s Health Start & Healthy Families programs. These programs include coverage for doctor visits, immunization, physicals, prescriptions, dental, vision, mental health, substance abuse and more. Please call 1-800-324-8680 for more information or to request an application. Information can also be found on the web at http:// jfs.ohio.gov/ohp.consumers/familychild.stm. Anyone who has an Ohio Medicaid card is already receiving these services.

The information provided on the application is confidential and will be used only for the purpose of determining eligibility and many be verified at any time during the school year by school or other program officials. To discourage the possibility of misrepresentation, the application forms contain a statement above the space for signature certifying that all information furnished is true and correct. Applications are being made in connection with the receipt of federal funds. Schools or other officials may check the information on the application at any time during the school year. Deliberate misrepresentation of information may subject the applicant to prosecution under applicable state and federal laws. Households will be notified of the approval or denial of benefits. Foster children are categorically eligible for free meal benefits regardless of the household’s income. If a family has foster children living with them and wishes to apply for such meals or milk for them, contact the school for more information. Under the provision of the policy, the principal will review applications and determine eligibility. If a parent or guardian disagrees with the decision on the applica-

tion or the result of verification, the decision may be discussed with the determining official on an informal basis. If a formal appeal is desired, the household has the right to a fair hearing. A hearing can be requested either orally or in writing to the superintendent of the school. The policy contains an outline of the hearing procedure. Households may apply for benefits any time during the school year. If a household is not currently eligible or if the household size increase or income decreases because of unemployment or other reasons, the family should contact the school to file a new application. In accordance with Federal Law and the U.S. Department of Agriculture policy, these institutions are prohibited from discriminating on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, age or disability. To file a complaint of discrimination, write to USDA, Director, Office of Adjudication, 1400 Independence Ave. SW, Washington, DC 20250-9410 or call toll free 866-632-9992. Individuals who are hearing impaired or have speech disabilities may contact USDA through the Federal Relay Service at 800877-8339 or 800-845-6136 for Spanish.

mal dry eyes and dry mouth. Is there any chance that the abnormal lab results could be an aberration? — E.R. ANSWER: Blood tests are very useful in helping to make diagnoses, but in the case of both lupus (I mean systemic lupus erythematosus) and Sjogren’s syndrome, diagnosis can’t be made by lab tests alone. The sedimentation rate, or ESR, usually is high in these rheumatologic diseases, but it can be high for many reasons, such as infection, autoimmune disease or malignancy. Older women tend to have higher levels normally. A high ESR alone is not diagnostic of any specific condition. SLE is a disease of the body’s immune system, where multiple systems are attacked. The diagnosis of lupus is made by a combination of symptoms — such as rash, arthritis, neurologic problems or kidney disease. Blood-test abnormalities alone rarely make the diagnosis. Occasionally, a blood test will turn positive before other

symptoms develop. Similarly, Sjogren’s syndrome is diagnosed if there are both symptoms of abnormal tear and saliva production, and biopsy and lab tests of Sjogren’s antibodies. If you have the Sjogren’s antibodies and have symptoms of eye and mouth dryness, a definitive diagnosis of Sjogren’s would still require an abnormal eye exam, salivary-gland biopsy or abnormal saliva tests. Most conditions and diseases range in severity from unnoticeable to life-threatening. It’s possible you have a relatively mild form of Sjogren’s that isn’t going to get any worse. It’s also possible that you have a false-positive lab test, and don’t actually have Sjogren’s. *** Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible.

I have told my friend many times how dangerous this is, but she continues to do it. It makes me sick worrying

about her mother, but I don’t know what to do about it. — FRIEND IN FLORIDA DEAR FRIEND: Your friend and her husband may have the best of intentions, but locking a demented person inside the house is not the answer to their problem. If a fire were to start, she might not be “with it” enough to know how to put it out or summon help. She could also fall and injure herself. A better solution would be to find a day-care program where the mother would have company, be entertained and safely looked after. Please suggest it to them. However, if they are not receptive, Adult Protective Services should be notified because the woman’s life could depend on it. TO MY MUSLIM READERS: It’s time for the breaking of the Ramadan fast.

Tagliani pays off wager with beaver-suit stunts

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — IndyCar driver Alex Tagliani has made good on a bet he lost to fellow driver Scott Dixon by wearing a beaver costume while riding a tricycle and milking a cow at the Indiana State Fair. Tagliani’s stint as a clown on Monday happened because Dixon managed to raise $1,130 more than he did for charities through an initiative called Power of 2. Together, the two racers raised more than $13,000. Tagliani also tried unsuccessfully to ring the bell at the “Strong Man” game on the midway and had photos taken with the fair’s “world’s largest male hog” and the “world’s largest popcorn ball.”

Council discusses land sale Mike Seffrin

mseffrin@civitasmedia.com

The city of Sidney intends to sell a small tract of land that currently is part of Riverbend Park. Sidney City Council discussed the sale at a work session Monday night and also talked about the problem of utility company tree trimmers damaging trees. The land is 0.343 of an acre. Its original, proposed use was to provide access to the park in the event the farmland surrounding the area were to be residentially developed. As the area has developed, access to the park is available from the adjacent residential area, the city staff said. The city does not use the land that it intends to sell, and it is an expense for the city to mow and maintain it. “Each year it is a money

drain,” Law Director Jeff Amick said. Mayor Mike Barhorst said probably the only bidder for the land would be the farmer who owns the adjacent acreage. An ordinance authorizing the sale is expected to be introduced at the Aug. 12 council meeting. Barhorst brought up the problem of tree trimmers contracted by the Dayton Power and Light Co. who cut trees so severely that they eventually die. He said the city does not allow property owners to trim street trees, but DP&L “can just cut the hell out of trees.” Then, property owners have to pay to remove trees that die because they were improperly cut. He said DP&L should have an arborist instruct its tree trimmers on proper techniques. Amick said DP&L has an

easement for its power lines that allows it to trim trees. He said the city could pass an ordinance regulating the practice, but it would be difficult to enforce. “The key is a good working relationship” with DP&L, he said. City Manager Mark Cundiff said he could contact other city managers to see how they handle the issue. In other business, Barhorst told of a recent incident he witnessed in which a car ran a red traffic light at Court Street and Main Avenue. He asked the city staff to find out how many red-light citations police had issued last year and how many miles were put on police cruisers. At the end of the meeting, council went into an executive session to discuss the purchase or sale of property.

Free tire-collection event planned On Sept. 14, the Sidney-Shelby County Health Department will hold a free tirecollection event for residents of Shelby County. This event will take place at the Shelby County Fairgrounds (enter from the Highland Avenue main gate) from 8 a.m. to noon. There is a limit of 10 tires per vehicle. Passenger, truck, farm and tractor tires will be accepted. This event is being done in partnership with the Shelby County township trustees, the Shelby County Engineer’s Office, the city of Sidney, and the Anna FFA. The Sidney-Shelby County Health

Department received a Tire Amnesty Grant in the amount of $10,000 to conduct this one-day collection event. A required 10 percent local match of funds ($1,000) will also be used to finance this event. The Tire Amnesty Grant is coordinated by the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency (OEPA), Litter Collection and Protection Grant Program. Through this grant program, the OEPA helps Ohio’s local governments promote sustainable scrap tire collection drives, sponsor tire drop-off efforts, and engage in targeted cleanup events. Illegally dumped

or improperly stored scrap tires are not only a nuisance, but are also a health concern, health officials said. Rainwater that accumulates in the scrap tires provides an ideal breeding ground for mosquitoes that transmit a variety of diseases to people and animals. The most common disease is West Nile virus. Illegal open burning of scrap tires can create immediate health hazards to persons with breathing problems and the environment. Health officials said they strongly encourage residents to take advantage of this collection event and clean up any scrap

tires stored on their property. Right now, health officials said they are not looking at this as a yearly event but more of a “onelast-time” event. So, when you purchase new tires, do not take back your old ones. Dealers can properly dispose of scrap tires for a minimal fee. A list of licensed scrap tire facilities in Shelby County can be found at www.ncowaste.org. For more information, contact Kent Topp, director of environmental health, Sidney-Shelby County Health Department, at 498-7249 or visit www.shelbycountyhealthdept.org.

Customer appreciation days planned VERSAILLES — Efficiency Smart and the village of Versailles will host customer appreciation days Thursday and Friday from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at the village offices, 177 N. Center St. During the event, Efficiency Smart staff will distribute five free compact florescent light bulbs (CFLs) while supplies last, as well as kits with rebate forms, program information and energy efficiency tips. Replacing incandescent light bulbs with CFL equivalents is a simple way to save money on utility bills. CFLs use 75 percent less energy and last up to 10 times longer than incandescent bulbs. There are many energy-efficient products that can help consumers

save money on their electric bills. Efficiency Smart offers several incentives to Village of Versailles Utilities’ residential electric customers promoting these savings. Many local business and residents have already taken advantage of the program since it started in Versailles in January 2011, receiving more than $40,000 in rebates for energy-efficient products through the end of May of 2013. This is expected to translate to savings of more than $1,218,000 over the lifetime of the installed products. For information about the services and incentives, visit www.efficiencysmart.org or call 877-889-3777. Efficiency Smart’s services

include rebates for energyefficient residential products; free removal of old, inefficient refrigerators and freezers from homes; and rebates for more than 90 energy-efficient products and services for businesses. Efficiency Smart also offers technical assistance, account management services, and customized financial incentives for large commercial and industrial customers. Efficiency Smart was established by American Municipal Power for the benefit of its member communities. It is administered under contract with the Vermont Energy Investment Corporation. Operations are based in Columbus.

Bids awarded for jail work The Shelby County Commissioners awarded bids Tuesday to contractors for the repair work at the jail. M i d w e s t Maintenance Inc., Piqua, submitted the winning bid for the general construction, at $176,776. Midwest also submitted the winning bid for the removal and replacement of the exterior recreation yard concrete and replacement of a wall base, at $116,060. Roof work was awarded to Cotterman

Local

Sidney Daily News, Wednesday, August 7, 2013

and Co. Inc., Minster, for $102,911. The total contract cost awarded was $395,747, which will come from the Permanent Improvement Fund and the Capital Improvement Fund. The majority will come from the Capital Improvement Fund, “from the 1/4 percent sales tax we get new this year,” said Commissioner Bob Guillozet. Guillozet explained the fund comes from the 1/2 percent sales

tax that previously went to roads and bridges but is now split between the engineer’s office for roads and bridges and the commissioners for other capital improvements. The commissioners also approved a contract for the demolition of the first county project as part of the Moving Ohio Forward project. The contract for the demolition of 6687 State Route 66, Newport, was awarded to Roe Construction for $13,550.

According to Dianna Reisinger of the Regional Planning Commission, the city and county have split the funds from the Moving Ohio Forward Grant from the Attorney General’s Office. The county’s portion is $120,680. Reisinger said the goal is to finish one demolition a week for as long as the funds last. The number of properties will depend on the cost of each contract for demolition.

Members of this year’s Sidney High School football team head to the practice field for a workout on Tuesday. The Yellow Jackets will open their season on Aug. 30 at home against St. Marys.

Teams start preparations for Aug. 30 openers Monday was the first official day of football practice for local and area football squads, who are preparing for the season openers on Aug. 30. As usual, the regular season will be preceded by scrimmage action. Those will begin on Aug. 13 for some, and on Aug. 17 for others. This will be a season of chance in Ohio, with the addition of another divisions, bringing the total to seven. It was done to help with the disparity in enrollment among Division I schools, but it has had an effect on teams in this area. Anna, which has been Division V for a long while, will now be D-VI under the new alignment. And the Rockets will be joined by Versailles, which is also moving out od D-V for the first time in a long while. New

Bremen and Minster will also be in D-VI this season. Locally, Sidney remains in Division II, where it will be one of the smallest schools, and Lehman drops down from D-VI to the new Division VII this season. Also in D-VII will be Fort Loramie and last year’s D-VI state champion Marion Local, which returns a powerhouse team. Sidney will have three scrimmage dates in preseason, starting with Aug. 13 at Lima Stadium. There, the Jackets will be joined by Lima Catholic, Minster and Northwood. The Jackets will play at Celina on Aug. 16 and at home against Meadowdale on Aug. 23, before opening the regular season on Aug. 30 at home against St. Marys. Something new for Sidney this year is the starting time. All home games and all league

games will now begin at 7 p.m. instead of the normal 7:30. That means Sidney’s only 7:30 start this year is in week two at Bellefontaine. Lehman starts preseason play on Aug. 17 with St. Henry at home at 10 a.m., and the Cavs will go to Parkway on Aug. 23. The regular season starts at Anna at 7:30 on Aug. 30. That’s one of only two 7:30 starts, the other being Sept. 13 at London. All the rest start at 7. Fort Loramie opens with two Midwest Athletic Conference teams, and that conference is still a holdout on the earlier starting time. The Redskins’ first two games are at 7:30 but the rest start at 7. All of Anna’s games are 7:30 starts, as are those of New Bremen and Versailles. Minster has one 7 p.m.start, at Lehman.

Bruce homers, Reds beat slumping A’s CINCINNATI (AP) — Jay Bruce homered and made a run-saving catch on the warning track, and Mat Latos pitched into the eighth inning against Oakland’s slumping lineup on Tuesday night, leading the Cincinnati Reds to a 3-1 victory over the Athletics. The Reds had dropped seven of nine and were coming off what players called an embarrassing weekend against St. Louis — losses of 13-3 and 15-2. They found an American League team struggling even more. The West-leading Athletics have lost five of six. Latos (11-3) allowed four hits through 7 1-3 shutout innings, leaving him 3-0 in his last four starts. Aroldis Chapman gave up Derek Norris’ two-out homer in the ninth while getting his 26th save in 30 chances. Bruce hit his 23rd homer off Dan Straily (6-6), who has lost his last four starts. The right fielder also went a long way to run down Josh Reddick’s fly ball to the warning track in the fourth, saving a run. The A’s made their first visit to Great American Ball Park — opened in 2003 — hoping to break out of their offensive slump in a hitter-friendly place. The A’s

are only 8-9 since the All-Star break. Heading into the interleague series, the A’s were batting .218 in their last 20 games, getting blanked four times. They were coming off a 4-0 loss to Texas on Sunday. Manager Bob Melvin said his players knew all about Great American’s propensity to help hitters, and hoped it would provide some encouragement. Didn’t work out that way. The A’s stranded runners in scoring position in the first, third, fifth and eighth innings. Coco Crisp tripled over first base with one out in the third but failed to score as the next two batters popped out. Their best chance came in the fifth, when they loaded the bases on Stephen Vogt’s single, second baseman Brandon Phillips’ error and a walk. Yoenis Cespedes grounded into a forceout. Cincinnati didn’t get much offense, either, but this time it was enough. Bruce led off the second inning with a drive to left. Phillips singled home another run in the fourth, which was Straily’s final inning. He threw 75 pitches while failing to last five innings for the third start in a row and seventh time in 18 starts overall this sea-

son. Shin-Soo Choo led off the fifth with a double off left-hander Jerry Blevins and came around when the reliever fielded Derrick Robinson’s bunt and threw wildly to first for an error. Tigers down Tribe CLEVELAND (AP) — Justin Verlander dominated for eight innings and Don Kelly hit a threerun homer off Justin Masterson, leading the Detroit Tigers to their 10th straight win, 5-1 over the Cleveland Indians. Verlander (12-8) allowed one run and four hits as the Tigers beat the Indians for 10th time in 11 games and opened a five-game lead over Cleveland in the AL Central. Kelly connected in the fifth inning off Masterson (13-8) and Miguel Cabrera picked up his 100th RBI as the Tigers improved to 11-3 against their nearest division rival. The Indians, who are 24-10 against the Central’s three other teams, have to hope they can win the next two over Detroit to split the series. To do that, they’ll have to beat Doug Fister and Max Scherzer. “Detroit has four aces, which is why they are so good,” Indians manager Terry Francona said

before the game. Although Scherzer leads the AL with 16 wins and is the frontrunner to win the Cy Young this season, Verlander remains the Tigers’ top gun and the one they turn to when things get tough. He gave up an RBI groundout in the second, but otherwise handled the Indians with ease. When Cleveland threatened in the sixth with two on and none out, Verlander turned up the heat.

He retired Nick Swisher on a deep fly to right before blowing a 100 mph fastball past All-Star Jason Kipnis for strike two and then locked him up with an 84 mph changeup. Verlander then got Asdrubal Cabrera to ground out on another fastball then hit the century mark on the radar gun. As he headed toward the dugout, the right-hander pumped his fist knowing he had probably put the Indians away for good.

last 20 majors, with multiple wins during that span for only McIlroy and Phil Mickelson, who produced one of golf’s greatest closing rounds at the British Open. Adam Scott and Justin Rose, longtime friends born two weeks apart, captured the Masters and the U.S. Open. During an exchange of

text messages after Scott won at Augusta National, he told Rose that this was “our time.” It mainly referred to how they had paid their dues and were ready to take the next step. It helps that Woods hasn’t won a major in more than five years, and McIlroy is struggling. Most of the attention, as usual, will be on Woods. He remains stuck on 14 majors, four short of matching the record set by Jack Nicklaus. Not only is he 0-for-17 since that U.S. Open title in 2008 at Torrey Pines, he hasn’t been in serious contention until last month at Muirfield. He started the final round two shots behind, and three-putted for bogey twice in the opening four holes to quickly fall out of the mix. “Obviously, Tiger has had a very, very good year,” Nicklaus said. “He’s not finished off a couple majors he’s had an opportunity to be involved in. Would be pretty hard-pressed not to make him — if not the favorite, one of the favorites — going into Oak Hill. He’ll play Oak Hill well, and he’ll control his golf ball well and manage his game well, just as he does every week. “Will he win more majors? I think so. When? I don’t know.”

Tiger Woods will need his ‘A’ game for the PGA Championship.

What you should know about the PGA Championship and Oak Hill Country Club Here are 10 things to know about the PGA Championship, to be played at Oak Hill Country Club: TIGER’S LAST CHANCE This is the 10th time Tiger Woods has come to the PGA Championship looking for his first major of the year. He only avoided a shutout in 1999 and 2007. A failure to win at Oak Hill would mean his fifth straight season without a major. OAK HILL Oak Hill didn’t start hosting big championships until 1956, though it has staged some big moments. It’s where Lee Trevino first emerged as a major champion in 1968, and

months without winning as questions swirled about his future. He won the PGA Championship by a record margin, won three other big events and ended the year at No. 1 in the world. Can he get his game back on track at the final major? YOUTH IS SERVED The last three PGA champions were all in their 20s — McIlroy (23), Keegan Bradley (25) and Martin Kaymer (27). That hasn’t happened at any major in nearly 50 years, when Gary Player (25), Jack Nicklaus (23) and Bobby Nichols (28) won the PGA from 1962-64. MICKELSON’S MOMENT Mickelson will try to become the fourth

where Curtis Strange went back-to-back in the U.S. Open in 1989. Europe turned the tide in the Ryder Cup with a comeback at Oak Hill in 1995. And even when it had a surprise winner in Shaun Micheel, who clinched the 2003 PGA Championship with a 7-iron to two inches on the last hole. QUICK TURNAROUND Eighteen days after Phil Mickelson’s name was engraved on the claret jug at the British Open, the opening tee shot will be struck in the PGA Championship. It could be worse. Fifty years ago, Jack Nicklaus won the PGA just one week after the British Open. McILROY’S LAUNCHING PAD A year ago, Rory McIlroy had gone five

CAPTAIN WATSON Tom Watson is playing in the PGA Championship for the 32nd time, his first appearance since he missed the cut at Oak Hill in 2003. He was invited as the U.S. Ryder Cup captain. The PGA Championship was the one major keeping Watson from the career Grand Slam. PGA PARITY Since the world ranking began in 1986, there has never been a season in which four different players inside the top 10 won the majors. That could change at Oak Hill. The major champions this year and their ranking when they won — Adam Scott (7), Justin Rose (5) and Mickelson (5).

player in the last 20 years to win the last two majors of the year, joining Padraig Harrington (2008), Tiger Woods (2006 and 2000) and Nick Price (1994). He has never won multiple majors. EMPTY TROPHY CASES Eleven players from the top 20 in the world ranking have yet to win a tournament this year, a list that includes McIlroy, Luke Donald and Lee Westwood. FAN INVOLVEMENT The PGA Championship is getting fans involved in the course setup for the final round. An online poll will allow them to pick one of four hole locations for the par-3 15th hole in the final round.

Loramie girls sweep titles in Minster Invitational MINSTER — High school golf tournaments this time of year are usually 18 hole invitationals, and they can take a long time to complete, especially since there hasn’t been a lot of practice. So Minster girls golf coach Deb Ahrens came up with something different for the annual Minster Invitational, which was held Tuesday at Arrowhead Park Golf Course in Minster. Rather than doing the normal tournament that would tie up the course for a good six hours, Ahrens used a best-ball format for this year’s event. “We did things a little different,” said Ahrens, who also included a skills contest in the day’s event. “We’ve always gone to Celina’s invitational for 18 holes, but they decided to have theirs at the end of the week. And Arrowhead didn’t want to close the course down

for six hours, so we went with something new.” It was a 9-hole best-ball tournament. Each girl played a full nine holes, but the best ball counted in the scoring. And when it was over a Fort Loramie team that is looking for big things this season won the tournament title with a 36. That was one stroke better than Versailles and three strokes better than both Minster and New Bremen. Those two went to the scorecard and New Bremen was awarded third with its 39. Celina and Russia shot 40, Coldwater 43, Riverside 50 and Tri-Village 58. The skills challenge included long drive, pitching, chipping and putting and again, a composite score was used. Fort Loramie was again first. And the Lady Redskins made it a clean sweep by winning the junior varsity best ball with a

44 to 48 for Versailles. Russia and Bremen had 51. Botkins wins Preview The Botkins boys golf team took first place in the 18-hole Midwest Ohio Preview, held Tuesday at the Mercer County Elks. Botkins had 352 to 362 for Lima Catholic, 382 for St. Henry, 392 for Marion Local, 397 for Covington and 406 for Coldwater Roger Miller shot an 85 for Botkins, Seth Hanna 87, and Nick Okuley and Alex Roberts both added 90s. For Marion Local, Derek Platfoot had the top score, a 96. JC wins opener Jackson Center won its season opener Tuesday in boys golf, beating Riverside 193-238 at Shelby Oaks. Drew Sosby led Jackson with a 45, Brandon Ware added a 46, Levi Schmitmeyer had a 48 and Tyler Rogers 54.

Rescue personnel prepare to load NASCAR driver Tony Stewart into an ambulance after he was involved in a four-car wreck at Southern Iowa Speedway in Oskaloosa, Iowa. Stewart underwent successful surgery Tuesday to repair the broken right tibia and fibula suffered in the wreck. Stewart will need a second surgery and remains hospitalized.

Stewart has surgery following Iowa crash KANNAPOLIS, N.C. (AP) — Tony Stewart told anyone who would listen why he continued racing anywhere, anytime, regardless of purse or crowd or car. Even after he flipped five times last week, Stewart was quick to offer a stout defense for his short-track weeknight racing while some questioned if his extracurricular racing was putting his championship chances in NASCAR at risk. Well, his championship chances are officially over for this season. The three-time NASCAR champion broke his right leg Monday night at Southern Iowa Speedway in Oskaloosa, where he flipped his 360 winged sprint car while leading with five laps remaining in the 30-lap feature. He had surgery Tuesday on the upper and lower parts of his leg, and Stewart-Haas Racing said he’ll need a second surgery. He remained hospitalized and there was no timetable for his return to racing. Max Papis was tabbed to replace Stewart this weekend in the No. 14 Chevrolet at Watkins Glen, where Stewart is a fivetime winner and his streak

of 521 consecutive starts will end. “I told someone to go get my phone or else I was going to get up and get it myself,” Stewart said Tuesday in a Facebook post. “Finally got reconnected to the world and just want to say thank you for all the prayers and well wishes. My team will remain strong and I will be back.” The 42-year-old Stewart has wrecked three times in the last month in extracurricular racing, and the latest came a day after he finished ninth at Pocono in a NASCAR event to position himself 11th in the Sprint Cup standings with five races remaining to set the Chase for the championship field. But Stewart had long refused to slow down his sprint car racing schedule, and passionately defended it following the June death of friend Jason Leffler in an accident at Bridgeport Speedway in Swedesboro, N.J. He was just as impassioned last Friday at Pocono when asked about his accident last week in Canada in which Stewart flipped a sprint car five times. His childhood hero,

four-time Indianapolis 500 winner A.J. Foyt, defended Stewart on Tuesday for sticking to his passion and being a true “racer.” “He ain’t no prima donna and life is short, and we don’t know how we are going to die or what’s going to happen,” Foyt said in a telephone interview with The Associated Press. “I just hate to see anybody badmouth Tony for anything he’s doing, and if they are, they are just jealous. People saying he’s putting his businesses at risk? I had three dealerships, people respected me.” “If they are worrying about their jobs and him getting hurt, what’s to say he won’t have a heart attack tomorrow and die?” Foyt said. “He might die and it might not be from racing. I had business and I still raced. I always said I am going to continue racing until I don’t want to race anymore and he’s the same way.” Stewart took responsibility for triggering a roughly 10-car accident at Canandaigua (N.Y.) Motorsports Park on July 16 in which 19-year-old Alysha Ruggles injured her back. Last week, in a sprint car

race at Ohsweken Speedway in Ontario, Stewart rolled his car five times but walked away. He stayed at the track to compete in the World of Outlaws race the next night and bristled at the NASCAR event at Pocono Raceway when asked about his harrowing incident in Canada. “You mortals have got to learn, you guys need to watch more sprint car videos and stuff,” he said Friday. “It was not a big deal. It’s starting to get annoying this week about that. That was just an average sprint car wreck. When they wreck, they get upside down like that.” Following Leffler’s death, Stewart defended track and sprint car safety. “I’d be grateful if you guys would understand that what happened this week wasn’t because somebody didn’t do something right with the race track. It was an accident. Just like if you go out and there’s a car crash. It’s an accident,” Stewart said days after Leffler’s death. “Nobody as a track owner wants to go through what happened, but it’s not due to a lack of effort on their part to try to make their facilities as safe as possible under the conditions they have.”

Browns give long snapper new deal BEREA, Ohio (AP) — Browns long snapper Christian Yount agreed to a five-year contract Tuesday that will keep him in Cleveland through 2017. Yount, 25, is in his third year with the Browns and has played in all 21

games since being signed Nov. 29, 2011. “I’m blessed to be here, and I’m excited to be a Brown for as long as they’ll have me,” Yount said following practice. “My agent told me the team wanted to work something out a little bit

ago, and I’m really happy we got it done.” The 6 - f o o t- 1 , 256-pounder is the lone holdover among Cleveland’s specialists as it did not re-sign Pro Bowl kicker Phil Dawson, punter Reggie Hodges, kick returner Joshua Cribbs or coverage ace Ray Ventrone. “At that position, you have to be perfect, and Christian is very good at what he does,” coach Rob Chudzinski said. “I’m happy we’re going to have him as a part of our organization for a long time.” Yount went undrafted in 2011 after a four-year career at UCLA, where he served as the long snapper in 51 games. He signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and played in seven contests before being released when Andrew Economos

was activated. Exactly five weeks later, Yount replaced Ryan Pontbriand as the Browns’ long snapper. “I understand this is a business, so you can’t take anything personal when a team decides to go in another direction,” he said. “But I’m not going to lie, this is something I really wanted to happen. I’m grateful that it did.” Yount joins starting left guard John Greco in agreeing to five-year contracts with Cleveland this summer, preventing them from becoming free agents at the end of the season. Former Pro Bowl center Alex Mack and starting strong safety T.J. Ward are also in the final year of their contracts with the Browns.
