Celebrating the world of work. That’s what Gateway Arts Council plans to do through its newest video/music project, “Workforce: The Cost of Living.� The venture continues what the council began in 2008 when it created “Images of the Land,� a program of music, narration, photographs and, in the end, a book chronicling Shelby County’s agricultural backbone. “Workforce: The Cost of Living� will extol the area’s industrial spine. It will be the second of four planned projects based on the George Danhires millennium sculptures on each side of the courtsquare in downtown Sidney. The sculptures commemorate agriculture, industry, education and civil service. “We want to really focus on faces, the individual, the common laborer who is at the heart of industry in Shelby County,� said arts council President See WORKERS | 20

Illegal guns, explosives found in home Shelby County Sheriff ’s deputies got more then they expected when they responded to a domestic violence call at 16318 Fort Loramie-Swanders Road Tuesday morning. Deputies arrested Byron Brown, 69, of that address on a charge of domestic violence after he allegedly struck his wife several times during a dispute. His wife was hospitalized for her injuries. During initial investigation, deputies discovered several weapons. A subsequent search

turned up an arsenal of weapons, ammunition and explosives. Found inside the home were: š '- \_h[Whci" Yedi_ij_d] e\ mostly assault rifles and handguns. š 7ffhen_cWj[bo '+"&&& rounds of ammunition. š '( _cfhel_i[Z c_b_jWho hand grenades. š 9Wdded \ki[$ š 8bWYa femZ[h$ Brown is prohibited by federal law from possessing or owning firearms due to a pre-

vious conviction of domestic violence. Sheriff ’s deputies are conducting a joint investigation with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms into the illegal possession of the weapons and explosive devices. Once complete, the case will go to the U.S. Attorney’s office for prosecution of federal charges. Brown remains in the Shelby County Jail on a charge of fourth-degree felony domestic violence.

Anna Council extends leave for police chief Kathy Leese ANNA — An overflow crowd attended Tuesday night’s meeting of Anna Village Council during which the administrative leave of Police Chief Scott Evans was extended to Aug. 27 to allow for additional investigation. Evans was placed on paid leave Aug. 5. At the time, Mayor Bob Anderson said council had “lost confidence in his professionalism.� In addition to council members, 27 people attended Tuesday’s meeting. Plainclothes and uniformed officers from the Anna Police Department and Shelby County Sheriff’s Office stood behind council members and guarded the doors. Additional officers were positioned outside village hall. Anderson told the crowd the officers were there to “support the law� and not to take a stand either for or against Evans. After a 45-minute executive session, council members opened the meeting and voted to extend Evans’ leave through Aug. 27, the date of the next council meeting.

Council President Richard Eshleman told the Sidney Daily News Wednesday there will likely be a public hearing at that meeting after which a decision may be made on Evans’ future with the village. A decision on the hearing will reportedly be made by the end of this week and an announcement made. If a hearing is held, Eshleman said, “witnesses can be called from both sides� and Evans would have an opportunity to address council and those present. It would then be council’s decision whether to continue Evans’ employment, Eshleman said. “If Scott’s not happy with our decision, he’s got the right to appeal in 10 days.� Eshleman said Wednesday that village officials were attempting to reach Evans, who had not been seen around town since being placed on leave. At Tuesday’s open session, Anderson said he wanted to make some things clear before opening the floor to comments from the crowd. He said council members, including himself, would not

be able to respond to many of the questions or comments that might be made “because of legal advice.� Anderson said the village is facing “possible litigation in the next couple of weeks.� The mayor said Lynn Marsee is filling in as interim police chief. He said some Anna Police officers are worried the department will be shut down and the Sheriff’s Office may take over. Anderson said he is unaware of any such plan. He did note,

however, that Jackson Center Police Chief Joe Cotterman and the Sheriff ’s Office have offered additional protection to the village, if needed. Anderson told the crowd that issues involving Evans extend beyond a residency requirement that he has not met and include allegations Evans reportedly made to the FBI against Sheriff ’s Office employees. The FBI has since visited Shelby County to investigate the claims, which

reportedly include public corruption, drug activity, payoffs, arson and sexual activity with underage girls. Sheriff John Lenhart has dismissed the allegations as “baseless.� During the meeting, residents aired a variety of concerns. Kathy LaFramboise questioned how the Anna Police Department operates. She said some of the officers are “not from this area.� She also said a current volunteer See COUNCIL | 20

Tom Mellnick of Plastipak Packaging was present at the meeting to make the 14th installment payment on the utility services agreement with the village. The payment was for $73,553.38. Council passed an

emergency ordinance authorizing a 2 percent cost-of-living increase for village employees. Another emergency ordinance was passed increasing appropriations in the income tax revenue fund by $6,700, because the village is receiving more income tax revenue than expected. The appropriation must be increased to pay the 3 percent retainer on collections to the

Investigators from the Sidney Police Department, Shelby County Sheriff’s Office and the Sidney/Shelby County Narcotics Task Force conducted a narcotics search Wednesday afternoon and made two arrests. The organizations jointly executed a narcotics search warrant around 1 p.m. at 1213 Hilltop Ave., Apt. D. Recovered during the search were syringes, heroin caps and heroin paraphernalia. As a result of the search, arrested and

incarcerated at the Shelby County Jail are Neil Estabrook, 38, and Shonda Teasley, 37, both of that address. They are both charged with two counts of possession of criminal tools, a felony of the fifth degree. More charges are likely to follow at a later date. This warrant execution is a continued effort by the Sidney/Shelby County Narcotics Task Force to combat drug abuse and drug trafficking in Shelby County. Information resulting in this warrant was derived

TOLEDO (AP) — A traffic stop on the Ohio Turnpike led to the discovery of two women who say they were driven across the country and forced into prostitution by a man who advertised them on the Internet, state troopers said. A California man who was driving with the women was charged with human trafficking and arraigned Wednesday.

Investigators said one of the women broke down crying and asked a trooper to help them during the traffic stop Tuesday just outside Toledo. The women, both in their 20s, were fearful and didn’t open up until the suspect was out of the car and away from them, said patrol Lt. William Stidham. James D. Jackson, 21, of Sacramento, made an initial appearance on human trafficking and weapons charges in Maumee

Municipal Court and was scheduled to appear again Thursday. Court officials said he did not yet have an attorney. Jackson drove the women to meet with customers in several states and forced them to turn over their money to him, Stidham said. He would not say how long the women had been traveling with Jackson. One of the women is a 21-year-old from Vallejo, Calif., while the other is 25 and from Mesa, Ariz., Stidham said.

Ohio prison to raise trout for zoo penguins, bears Andrew Welsh-Huggins Associated Press

COLUMBUS (AP) — A prison program funded partly by recycling waste produced at Ohio State football games is helping pay for inmates to raise trout to feed penguins, polar bears and otters at the Columbus Zoo. The rainbow trout farm that opened Wednesday at the Southeastern Correctional Complex in Lancaster will provide about 300 pounds of frozen trout a month for the zoo’s dozen-plus penguins. Inmates also will provide about 100 pounds of trout a month for the zoo’s polar bears, brown bears and otters. The farm is being paid for, in part, with proceeds from a prison recycling-sorting program, which takes in waste from Ohio State’s massive stadium, among other sources. The trout, to be flash frozen at the prison, will replace fish the

zoo currently gets from Idaho. The prison partnership calls for smaller trout, from 4 inches to 6 inches long, which is closer to what penguins prefer, said zoo spokeswoman Patty Peters. The prison eventually hopes to raise bigger trout for the bears and to provide them live to the animals. The prison also hopes to expand the trout program to other Ohio zoos. The fish are being raised in two long water-filled troughs in a warehouse. The prison’s recycling program earned about $33,000 just in the last six months, said warden Sheri Duffey. The trout program’s costs haven’t been determined, she said. “We like to establish community partnerships, and we love to find projects for the offenders in here that are meaningful and that potentially could lead to a job to them when they’re released,” Duffey said.

‘Heartbeat’ abortion bill to make return in Ohio COLUMBUS (AP) — Abortion opponents in Ohio plan to resurrect a proposal to effectively ban the procedure after the first fetal heartbeat is detected — as early as six weeks into pregnancy. The bill’s previous sponsor tells The Associated Press he and other lawmakers will announce plans to reintroduce the so-called “heartbeat bill” at a Thursday news conference. House Health Chairman Lynn Wachtmann, a Republican, said in a Wednesday interview that about 40 of the 99 Ohio House members have signed on as co-sponsors of the bill. The abortion measure died last year after the Senate’s GOP leader blocked it from a vote. He’s since retired due to term limits. The measure had fiercely divided Ohio’s anti-abortion community, with some fearing a court challenge could undo other abortion restrictions already in place.

Ohio State has a zero waste policy for home football games, meaning it diverts nine of every 10 pounds of game-day waste from landfills by recycling or composting. The Nebraska game in October alone produced 3,246 pounds of cardboard, 1,752 pounds of plastic bottles and 78 pounds of chip bags. Animal projects aren’t uncommon in Ohio prisons. Inmates at the Southeastern prison also raise bees for honey distributed to a local food bank. Inmates in Lorain and the Ohio women’s prison in Marysville also raise bees. At Marion Correctional Institution, inmates run a wildlife rescue program where prisoners care for squirrels, birds, opossums, raccoons, groundhogs and other animals. Inmates at several prisons train abandoned dogs for adoption or as seeing eye companions or for people with hearing problems.

Authorities seize marijuana from central Ohio farm MARYSVILLE (AP) — More than 500 marijuana plants and two shotguns have been seized by authorities from a central Ohio property that belongs to a significant supplier of fresh produce to restaurants and farmers’ markets in the area. The Columbus Dispatch reports officers from the Union

County Multi Agency Drug Enforcement Task Force on Tuesday seized the marijuana that authorities say is worth more than $500,000 from a property owned by Wayward Seed Farm. Phone records were also seized. No one has been charged in connection with the bust. Capt. Jeff Frisch, of the Union

County sheriff’s office, told the newspaper this was a sophisticated cultivation operation in which the marijuana plants were growing under cover with an irrigation system outdoors. Calls to the business on Wednesday were not answered. ___

Some SW Ohio poll workers cut over election errors CINCINNATI (AP) — Voting-related problems in last year’s election are leading to the retraining of hundreds of poll workers in the county that includes Cincinnati and to more than 5 percent of workers not being asked back. In Hamilton County, 94 of the 163 poll workers being “retired” by the board of elections worked at 16 precincts that allowed too many ballots to be cast at wrong locations or precincts, The Cincinnati Enquirer (http:// cin.ci/1cMsxB8 ) reported Wednesday. Other workers didn’t vote or didn’t meet performance standards, according

to the newspaper. Hamilton County has been an important swing area in recent national elections, with Barack Obama carrying it twice while winning hotly contested Ohio. Records show that around 1,900 votes were cast at the wrong precinct or in the wrong location in Hamilton County, where 422,000 votes were cast in the 2012 election. It’s impossible to know how many of the problems resulted from poll worker error, but the Hamilton County Board of Elections says the number was unacceptable. The board chairman says officials aren’t suggesting work-

ers tried to disenfranchise voters, but he said it is clear that a significant number of them need to be replaced. “When you see all of these mistakes continuing to be made in particular precincts, we have to look very hard at how we can correct that so it doesn’t happen in the future,” board Chairman Tim Burke said. A message seeking additional comment was left at the board’s offices Wednesday. Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted says the state is under greater scrutiny in terms of making sure it runs a clean and fair election. “We can’t afford to have sub-

standard poll workers,” he said. Poll worker training is getting extra attention in Hamilton County after Melowese Richardson, a precinct judge at one polling site, was sentenced to five years in prison for voter fraud. Eileen Willis, a poll worker at that precinct, won’t be returning as a worker after more than 35 years at polls. The 74-year-old Willis said she felt hurt and unfairly targeted. “They knew there were problems,” Willis said, adding that none of the problems resulted from her work Board of elections staff mem-

bers have said that the assessment showed the problem extended beyond Richardson and that the polling location had problems as a team. The retraining and retiring of poll workers comes as the county is trying to find roughly 2,900 workers it needs to staff 545 polling sites. In northeast Ohio, Cuyahoga County’s assessment of 7,160 poll workers after the 2012 presidential election resulted in 131 workers told they would have to go through training again if they wanted to return. ___ Information from: The Cincinnati Enquirer, http:// www.enquirer.com

Prosecutors can remain on Bales case Gene Johnson Associated Press

SEATTLE (AP) — A team of Army prosecutors can remain on the case of Staff Sgt. Robert Bales for his sentencing next week, even after they read documents they weren’t supposed to, a military judge said Wednesday. Lawyers for Bales, who pleaded guilty to killing 16 Afghan civilians during nighttime raids last

year, asked the judge, Col. Jeffery Nance, on Tuesday to dismiss the prosecutors because they had read compelled statements their client gave to Army doctors. In a brief email Wednesday morning, Nance denied the motion, one of the defense attorneys, John Henry Browne, told The Associated Press. The email offered no reasons for the decision, Browne said. The issue arose last

month after Nance inadvertently sent the prosecutors a six-page, unredacted document that included statements Bales made to Army psychiatrists. Bales was required to participate in the “sanity review,” aimed at determining whether he was sane at the time of the attacks and whether he was capable of standing trial. It isn’t clear what the statements concerned, but they are protected by Bales’ Fifth Amendment right not to incriminate himself, and neither they nor any information derived from them can be used against him during his sentencing. Because of the difficulty in figuring out whether arguments by prosecutors or testimony

by witnesses might have been informed by the protected statements, Bales’ defense team suggested removing the prosecution team from the case and appointing new prosecutors who would have no knowledge of their contents. That would almost certainly have required the sentencing to be delayed. Bales faces life in prison either with or without the possibility of parole. During Tuesday ’s hearing at Joint Base Lewis-McChord south of Seattle, three substitute prosecutors argued that removing the trial team would be too drastic. Instead, they suggested measures to help ensure that the protected statements don’t make their way into court.

“The Constitution prohibits the use of statements,” said Capt. Chad Fisher. “It doesn’t prohibit disclosure.” Among the safety measures, he said, was that the government gave the judge a DVD containing the prosecution’s entire case as it existed on July 17 — one day before prosecutors received the compelled statements — along with summaries of what each government witness would testify about at sentencing. If the witnesses or the government vary from those statements, the judge could require the prosecutors to prove that none of the information presented was based on anything Bales told doctors, Fisher said. Browne said the judge’s

ruling would probably require a special hearing to determine whether any of the evidence presented at the sentencing originated from the protected statements. “The judge is making this unnecessarily complicated,” Browne said. Bales, an Ohio native and married father of two young children who was on his fourth combat deployment, admitted leaving his post in Kandahar Province before dawn on March 11, 2012, to attack two villages of mud-walled compounds nearby. He pleaded guilty in June in a deal to avoid the death penalty. ___

Nation/World Today in History By The Associated Press

Today is Thursday, Aug. 15, the 227th day of 2013. There are 138 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On August 15, 1969, the Woodstock Music and Art Fair opened in upstate New York. On this date: In 1057, Macbeth, King of Scots, was killed in battle by Malcolm, the eldest son of King Duncan, whom Macbeth had slain. In 1483, the Sistine Chapel was consecrated by Pope Sixtus IV. In 1769, Napoleon Bonaparte was born on the island of Corsica. In 1812, the Battle of Fort Dearborn took place as Potawatomi warriors attacked a U.S. military garrison of about 100 people. (Most of the garrison was killed, while the remainder were taken prisoner.) In 1914, the Panama Canal opened to traffic. In 1935, humorist Will Rogers and aviator Wiley Post were killed when their airplane crashed near Point Barrow in the Alaska Territory. In 1945, in a radio address, Japan’s Emperor Hirohito announced that his country had accepted terms of surrender for ending World War II. In 1947, India became independent after some 200 years of British rule. In 1961, as workers began constructing a Berlin Wall made of concrete, East German soldier Conrad Schumann leapt to freedom over a tangle of barbed wire. In 1971, President Richard Nixon announced a 90-day freeze on wages, prices and rents. Bahrain declared its independence from Britain. In 1974, a gunman attempted to shoot South Korean President Park Chung-hee during a speech; although Park was unhurt, his wife was struck and killed, along with a teenage girl. (The gunman was later executed.) In 1998, 29 people were killed by a car bomb that tore apart the center of Omagh, Northern Ireland; a splinter group calling itself the Real IRA claimed responsibility. Ten years ago: Bouncing back from the largest blackout in U.S. history, cities from the Midwest to Manhattan restored power to millions of people. Five years ago: Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili grudgingly signed a U.S.backed truce with Russia, even as he denounced the Russians as invading barbarians and accused the West of all but encouraging them to overrun his country. Michael Phelps won his sixth gold medal with his sixth world record, in the 200-meter individual medley at the Summer Olympics. American Nastia Liukin won the gold in women’s gymnastics; friend and teammate Shawn Johnson was second. Record producer Jerry Wexler, who coined the term “rhythm and blues,” died in Sarasota, Fla. at age 91. National Public Radio commentator Leroy Sievers, who’d shared his struggle with cancer, died at his Maryland home at age 53.

Russia: Surgeon stole heroin found in stomach

MOSCOW (AP) — Russian police say they have arrested a surgeon who stole some of the heroin he had been called on to extract from the stomach of a suspected drug mule. Police in the Siberian region of Krasnoyarsk say that after investigators discovered that some of the drugs were missing, they searched the surgeon and found a packet containing 5 grams of heroin hidden in his clothing. The surgeon, who was not identified, was under the influence of narcotics when he was apprehended, according to the police statement issued Tuesday. If convicted of stealing the heroin, the doctor faces up to 15 years in prison. There was no information about the identity of the suspected drug mule, his travel plans or his fate.

Hundreds reported killed as Egypt smashes protests Hamza Hendawl and Maggie Michael Associated Press

CAIRO (AP) — In Egypt’s bloodiest day since the Arab Spring began, riot police Wednesday smashed two protest camps of supporters of the deposed Islamist president, touching off street violence that officials said killed nearly 300 people and forced the military-backed interim leaders to impose a state of emergency and curfew. The crackdown drew widespread condemnation from the Muslim world and the West, including the U.S., and Nobel Peace Prize winner Mohamed ElBaradei resigned as the interim vice president in protest — a blow to the new leadership’s credibility with the pro-reform movement. “Today was a difficult day,” interim Prime Minister Hazem el-Beblawi said in a televised address to the nation. While he regretted the bloodshed, he offered no apologies for moving against the supporters of ousted President Mohammed Morsi, saying they were given ample warnings to leave and he had tried foreign mediation efforts. The leaders of Morsi’s Muslim Brotherhood called it a “massacre.”

An Egyptian security force kicks a supporter of ousted Islamist President Mohammed Morsi as they clear a sit-in camp set up near Cairo University in Cairo’s Giza district Wednesday. Egyptian police in riot gear swept in with armored vehicles and bulldozers Wednesday to clear the sit-in camp and the other encampment set up by supporters of the country’s ousted Islamist president in Cairo, showering protesters with tear gas as the sound of gunfire rang out.

Several of them were detained as police swept through the two sit-in sites, scores of other Islamists were taken into custody, and the future of the oncebanned movement was uncertain. Backed by helicopters, police fired tear gas and used armored bulldozers to plow into the barricades at the two protest camps in different sections of Cairo where the Morsi supporters had been camped since before he was ousted by the military July 3. Army troops did not take part in the two

operations, which began shortly after 7 a.m. (0500 GMT — 1 a.m. EDT), although they provided security at the locations. The smaller camp — near Cairo University in Giza — was cleared of protesters relatively quickly, most taking refuge in the nearby Orman botanical gardens, on the campus of Cairo University and the zoo. But it took about 12 hours for police to take control of the main sitin site near the Rabaah al-Adawiya Mosque in Nasr City that has served as the epicenter

of the pro-Morsi campaign and had drawn chanting throngs of men, women and children only days earlier. After the police moved on the camps, street battles broke out in Cairo and other cities across Egypt. Government buildings and police stations were attacked, roads were blocked, and Christian churches were torched, Interior Minister Mohammed Ibrahim said. At one point, protesters trapped a police Humvee on an overpass near the Nasr City camp and pushed it off, according to images posted

on social networking sites that showed an injured policeman on the ground below, near a pool of blood and the overturned vehicle. The Health Ministry said 235 civilians were killed and more than 2,000 injured, while Ibrahim said 43 policemen died in the violence. The death toll was expected to rise. Three journalists were among the dead: Mick Deane, 61, a cameraman for British broadcaster Sky News; Habiba Ahmed Abd Elaziz, 26, a reporter for the Gulf News, a state-backed newspaper in the United Arab Emirates; and Ahmed Abdel Gawad, who wrote for Egypt’s state-run newspaper Al Akhbar. Deane and Elaziz were shot to death, their employers said, while the Egyptian Press Syndicate, a journalists’ union, said it had no information on how Gawad was killed. For much of the afternoon, thousands of Morsi supporters chanting “God is great!” tried to join those besieged by the security forces inside the Nasr City camp. They were driven away when police fired tear gas. Smoke clogged the sky above Cairo and fires smoldered on the streets, which were lined with charred poles

Former Illinois Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr., and his wife, Sandra, leave federal court in Washington Wednesday. Jackson was sentenced to 2 1/2 years in prison Wednesday after pleading guilty to scheming to spend $750,000 in campaign funds on TV’s, restaurant dinners, an expensive watch and other costly personal items. His wife received a sentence of one year.

Prison for Jesse Jackson Jr.: a 2 ½-year sentence Frederic J. Frommer and Jessica Gresko Associated Press

WASHINGTON (AP) — Former Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. was sentenced to 2 ½ years in prison Wednesday for illegally spending $750,000 in campaign funds on personal items, the judge scolding the son of the famed civil rights leader for using the money as a “piggy bank” and sentencing his wife to a year as well. However, Jackson, who emotionally apologized to his father, mother, congressional colleagues and others, was given significantly

less prison time than federal guidelines recommend, recognized by the judge as a “complex person” who has done both good and bad. Sandra Jackson, a former Chicago alderman, was sentenced for filing false joint federal income tax returns. After prison, the former congressman is to spend three years on supervised release and complete 500 hours of community service. If he earns credit for good behavior in prison, he could end up serving closer to two years. He agreed to repay the $750,000 when he pleaded guilty earlier this year. According to court docu-

ments, the Jacksons had spent campaign money on TV’s, restaurant dinners, an expensive watch and other costly personal items. Jackson, 48, had been a Democratic congressman from Illinois from 1995 until he resigned last November. In an emotional speech to the judge, he choked up and used tissues to blow his nose. He apologized and said he wanted to “take responsibility for my actions.” “I misled the American people. I misled the House of Representatives. I misled the Federal Election Commission,” he said. “I was wrong.”

FORT MEADE, Md. (AP) — Pfc. Bradley Manning took the stand Wednesday at his sentencing hearing in the WikiLeaks case and apologized for hurting his country, pleading with a military judge for a chance to go to college and become a productive citizen. He addressed the court on a day of often emotional testimony from family members about his troubled childhood and from a psychologist who said Manning felt extreme mental pressure in the “hyper-masculine” military because of his gender-identity disorder — his feeling that he was a woman trapped in a man’s body. “I am sorry that my actions hurt people. I’m sorry that they hurt the United States,” he said as he began. The soldier said that he understood what he was doing but that he did not believe at the time that leaking a mountain of classified information to the anti-secrecy website would cause harm to the U.S. Though he often showed little reaction to court proceedings during most of the two and a half month court-martial, Manning appeared to struggle to contain his emotions several times Wednesday during testimony from his sister, an aunt and two mental health counselors, one who treated him and another who diagnosed him with several problems. Manning, 25, could be sentenced to 90 years in prison for the leaks, which occurred while he was working as an Army intelligence analyst in Iraq in 2010. The judge will impose the sentence, though exactly when is unclear. The next session, for any prosecution rebuttal testimony, is set for Friday. Speaking quickly but deliberately, Manning took only a few minutes to make his statement Wednesday. He appeared to be reading it from papers he was holding and looked up a number of times to make eye contact with the judge. It was an unsworn statement, meaning he could not be cross-examined by prosecutors.

Tech pleads guilty in N.H. in hepatitis C outbreak CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — A traveling hospital technician accused of infecting patients in multiple states with hepatitis C through tainted syringes pleaded guilty Wednesday in New Hampshire to 16 federal drug charges under an agreement that calls for him to serve 30 to 40 years in prison. Judge Joseph Laplante asked David Kwiatkowski, 34, why he wasn’t going to trial. “Because I’m guilty,” Kwiatkowski responded. Kwiatkowski pleaded guilty to 14 charges of drug theft and

tampering in New Hampshire, along with two similar counts in Kansas, although he was never formally charged there. Sentencing was set for Dec. 3, at which time the judge could impose a different sentence. Before he was hired by New Hampshire’s Exeter Hospital in 2011, Kwiatkowski worked as a cardiac technologist in 18 hospitals in seven states, moving from job to job despite being fired at least four times over allegations of drug use and theft. Forty-six people in four states have been diagnosed with

the same strain of hepatitis C Kwiatkowski carries and is accused of spreading by replacing stolen painkiller syringes with saline-filled syringes tainted with his blood. Thirty-two patients were infected in New Hampshire, seven in Maryland, six in Kansas and one in Pennsylvania. Kwiatkowski also worked in Michigan, New York, Arizona and Georgia. One of the Kansas patients died, and authorities say hepatitis C, a blood-borne virus that can cause liver disease and chronic health problems, played a contributing

role. The charges Kwiatkowski admitted to in Kansas stem from the patient who died, and many of the other patients have experienced serious medical problems, U.S. Attorney John Kacavas said. “Tragically, the defendant’s admissions of guilt today are too little, too late for those victims,” he said. “There were many warning signs, there were many stop signs, there were many red lights along that road that were simply ignored by the defendant himself, a health care worker, by other individuals and entities in the health care industry.”

I don’t like physical education DR. WALLACE: I‘m a pretty good student, but I dislike physical education because I’m uncoordinated and overweight. I go to a private school, and I’m going into the 12th grade. For the past three years, physical education was optional, so I opted not to take it. This coming year, our new school superintendent has made physical education a required course. I don’t think this is right. I go to school to learn about math, science, writing and reading, not to learn how to hit a ball and run. I went to our family doctor and asked if he would give me a medical excuse so I wouldn’t have to take PE. He wouldn’t give it to me because he said I needed to exercise. What alternative do I have left to stop me from spending an hour getting sweaty at school? My mother will write a note saying that she does not want me to take PE, but only a doctor’s excuse will save me. Help! —Phillip, Richmond, Ohio PHILLIP: You don’t have to be coordinated to benefit from physical education. Do your very best to enjoy and learn in your PE classes.

Her funeral was held on you think he saw Jesus Wednesday, Aug. 7, 2013. in my smile?” That kind She would have been 100 of sums up the purpose years old on Aug. 20. of my mother’s life. She Around 80 people came wanted other people to to show their respect for see Jesus in her actions. this godly woman. Among She wanted Jesus to be the many comments that glorified through her life. I recently read a book were expressed, my sis-

on “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People,” by Stephen Covey. It was given to me by Polly McCormick after Ken died. Many of you know Ken was that kind of a person, and Polly felt it might be of interest to me. The second habit is to “Begin with the End in Mind.” In other words, how do you want to be remembered? What impression of yourself do you want to leave behind? Then live that way each day. My mother wanted to be remembered as someone who did her best to honor and glorify the Lord Jesus Christ. She succeeded. Earlier this year, my brother Bill and Bev were visiting with her and some Christian friends at the Holland Christian Home in North Halden, N.J., when Mom interrupted the conversation

to say, “I would like to pray!” When everyone said that would be a nice thing to do, she went on to pray for all of us, especially her children and grandchildren that we would live for the Lord and stay close to the Lord. The prayer brought tears to everyone’s eyes. It was a childlike prayer revealing great faith and deep convictions. None of us can remember Mom ever raising her voice, even when we upset her. She will be remembered for speaking softly and correcting us with gentleness. Then off she would go to pray about it and to pray for us to make the right choices. While none of us claim to be perfect, and we do not claim that for our mother either, the vast majority of her children and grandchildren have given their hearts to the Lord and

are trying to live for the Lord. This is the legacy that she has left behind. Proverbs 31 said: “Her children arise and call her blessed,” and “a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised. Give her the reward she has earned …” At her funeral service, that is exactly what happened. And that is what I am doing through this article. But the message we all ought to learn from her is very clear. We all need to ask ourselves how we want to be remembered; and if you are a Christian, we all ought to live in such a way that people will see Jesus in us. That is the prayer of my own heart, even though I know I can get impatient and not always say the right thing in the right way. But Jesus is always ready to forgive us when he knows our hearts are in the right

place, and he is always happy to see us get back up and ask for grace to try again. Since we all have to start somewhere, if you still need to give your heart to the Lord and get going in the right direction, I would encourage you to do that right now. Then be patient with yourself as you begin this lifelong process. Always remember, we all make mistakes, but habits are developed as we keep on doing our best. Character is created as we do this over a period of time. May God help us all to develop godly habits and a godly character so that we too will be remembered as people who truly loved the Lord when we die. The writer is the pastor of First Baptist Church of Sidney.

Bontrager Family Singers to perform at New Hope Church The Bontrager Family Singers will perform Sept. 22 at 7 p.m. at New Hope United Methodist Church, 8985 W. Mason Road. The public is welcome to the event. No admission will be charged. A freewill offering will be requested to benefit Bontrager Family ministries. The Bontrager Family travels and sings to share the love of Jesus — to tell others what Jesus can do for them, event organizers said. They are passionate about encouraging families to be strong in the Lord and to love one another. It is God who has called the

Bontrager Family to this ministry, and they endeavor to shine his light wherever they go, organizers said. They sing at churches, festivals, camps, resorts, prisons, nursing homes and street missions. The family sings gospel songs of many different genres — hymns, praise songs, southern gospel, and more — and provide the instrumentation live using piano, acoustic bass guitar, violins, banjo, acoustic guitar, mandolin and harmonica. The family’s style is varied and doesn’t fit neatly into any category, but could probably be called a bluegrass/ southern gospel mix.

ROCK SPRINGS, Wyo. (AP) — Of all the metaphorical images of God and Jesus — master of the house, carpenter, teacher, winemaker — Bernadine Craft’s favorite is shepherd. Her grandfather, who died before she was born, ran sheep in the Wind River Mountains. Craft grew up hearing stories of his adventures. A painting created by Craft’s aunt hung in her childhood home in Rock Springs. It’s of Jesus leaning over a rocky ledge, grabbing a lost lamb. Craft now owns that house and still has that painting. “From the time I was a little girl, that somehow symbolized to me God, and symbolized Christ,” she said. “That love of the shepherd for his sheep. And I would hear the stories about the sheep herders that would go up and look for that one lost lamb, that one stray little sheep.” The role of shepherding the flock has taken on new meaning for Craft, a Democratic state senator who is studying to become a priest in the Episcopal Church. On Aug. 20, she will be ordained as a transitional deacon at her Rock Springs parish, Church of The Holy Communion. She will be a deacon for at least six months before ordination as a priest. “I’ve never questioned my call to the ministry. I have questioned my call to serve in the Legislature,” she said and then laughed. Craft doesn’t believe the two roles conflict. She sees them as different forms of service. “I think people of faith need to be involved,” she said. “People of faith need to make their voices heard. Not as proponents of a particular religion, not as proponents of a particular issue, but as proponents of our citizens, proponents of doing the very best we can. “To me, it’s a really good fit.” “…We beseech Thee so to guide and bless our senators and representatives in the Legislature of this state, that they may enact such laws as shall please Thee…” Prayer for a State Legislature from the Episcopal Book of Common Prayer Opinions vary on what separation of church and state should look like in Wyoming politics. Craft said she follows a quote that’s attributed to St. Francis of Assisi: “Preach the Gospel at all times, and when necessary, use words.”

Wyoming Sen. Bernadine Craft preaches a sermon May 12 at the Church of The Holy Communion in Rock Springs, Wyo. Craft will be ordained as a transitional deacon at the Episcopal parish on Aug. 20, and can be ordained as a priest after six months of service.

Craft said she doesn’t preach to the Wyoming Legislature. “I have no ‘church agenda,’” she said. The Episcopal Church takes separation of church and state seriously, said Tristan English, canon for congregational enrichment — a top staff position — for the Episcopal Diocese of Wyoming. “We have not taken an active political role” in the Wyoming Legislature, English said. “We would not try to influence Bernadine in any manner.” Craft believes most Wyoming lawmakers work hard in Cheyenne, regardless of religious background or political affiliation. “They come down there for the right reasons,” she said. “Now they may not be my reasons. They may not have the same agenda I do, but I think the majority of people who serve in the Legislature do it because they really do want to help citizens of Wyoming.” Most Wyoming lawmakers are similar to Craft. They do not preach publicly. In fact, most members of the Legislature keep their religious beliefs so private that the public only learns about religious affiliation when they consult biographies on the Legislature’s website — if legislators choose to disclose religion on their bios. But another Rock Springs lawmaker, Republican Rep. Stephen Watt, has evoked God on the floor of the House and in letters and statements to the press. He identi-

fies himself as a Christian, which he describes as having a personal relationship with Jesus Christ as his savior. He doesn’t think the state Legislature is particularly Christian, which he said is unfortunate. “If you do not have a high set of morals and standards set for yourself, then how can you be a leader?” he said. “I think that’s what’s wrong with our country. Take a look at Washington, D.C. You know, there’s so much immorality that’s in our government.” Watt described his style as bold. “Why do I live my Christianity so openly? Well, I believe if you do not know Jesus Christ as your lord and savior … you’re going to hell,” he said. “I don’t care how good of a person you think you are. You’re going to hell.” Watt was shot five times while on duty as a Wyoming Highway Patrol trooper in 1982. He accepted Jesus Christ as his savior and became an ordained minister after studying with the Evangelical Church Alliance International of Bradley, Ill., he said. In 1986, he began a ministry of sharing his story of how he forgave and became best friends with the man convicted of shooting him. He ministers in jails, prisons, churches and other places. Watt believes his proclamations of God are essential. He said he is free of fear because the worst fear — being shot five times — has already happened to him. “I’ve had people tell me, ‘Being

vocal as you are, you’ll never be re-elected,’” he said. “I’ve been elected to the Legislature three different times. You know what? So what if I don’t get elected, my life isn’t going to end.” During the debate of the bill that gave the state authority to establish a semi-private lottery, Rep. Garry Piiparinen, R-Evanston, distributed copies of a 1987 talk a leader of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints gave in opposition to gambling. The document raised eyebrows in the Legislature, but Piiparinen said he never intended to impose dogma on lawmakers. The talk was given by Mormon Elder Dallin H. Oaks, who was a justice on the Utah Supreme Court, according to the church’s website. Piiparinen said Oaks’ arguments were more eloquent and better reasoned than anything he could have communicated, which is why he shared it. “If you read that, he lays out some really good points as to why gambling is not good for society,” Piiparinen said. “I’m not talking morally. We’re just talking about society.” “…You are to love and serve the people among whom you work, caring alike for young and old, strong and weak, rich and poor…” — Bishop’s address during the ordination of a priest, from the Book of Common Prayer. Craft is finishing a master of divinity degree at Iliff School of Theology in Denver through a program that’s mostly online. Craft was born into an Episcopal family. She was baptized at the Church of The Holy Communion. Joan Domson, who has known Craft since they were children in the Rock Springs parish, described her friend as a devout child who always insisted her parents take her to church — even when they were on vacation. “She is such a spiritual person, and in our church, we accept women as priests,” Domson said. “If there was anyone who was going to be a priest, she was probably going to do it.” Craft will continue her day job as executive director of the Sweetwater Board of Cooperative Education Services. On the side, she will continue serving in the Legislature, teaching counseling classes at Western Wyoming Community College, maintaining her private psychotherapy practice and teaching yoga. Being a person of deep faith, Craft believes in miracles. But she

has questioned the 2006 death of her husband — and why God allowed it to happen. They’re questions she still grapples with. In 1988, Craft contracted a rare form of leukemia. Physicians removed her spleen. Shortly before she was to travel with her parents to Salt Lake City to start chemotherapy, a friend said some healing prayers with her. “It felt wonderful,” she said. “It felt loving and comfortable and comforting. I mean, I felt different.” In Salt Lake City, her blood counts were normal. She was sent home. “I’ve never had any treatment since,” she said, explaining that every six weeks she gets her blood checked for illness. Nearly 20 years later, her husband, Larry Hill got cancer. He worked as a psychologist, too. Their relationship was close, Craft said. She considered his children her own. “I thought, we could have another miracle,” she said. In 2006, he died. It remains the biggest spiritual struggle of her life, she said. She said she prayed hard for her husband to recover from cancer, and after he died, she asked God why he could take Hill from her. “It took me a really long time to work through that,” she said. “Just because I want something doesn’t mean I’m going to get it. God always answers our prayers, but not always in the way we think they will be answered.” She still doesn’t entirely understand why her husband died, but she believes that pain and sorrow hurt God, too. She read a story about a priest who told a cancer patient that God may not have a lot to do with the physical body. That makes sense, Craft said. “I guess my conclusion was I’m really supposed to do something,” she said. “I’m supposed to make a difference somehow.” Craft served in the House from 2007-12. She thought her career in politics was over when she began studying for the priesthood. But then the seat for Senate District 12 opened. Local Democrats encouraged her to run and she won. The 2013 session was her first in the Senate. She supports legislation for victims’ rights and Medicaid and health care. While fighting for the bills, Craft’s mind is on the hereafter.

BOTKINS — The Botkins Local Schools Board of Education heard a request from the mayor, postponed the Shelby County Educational Service contract, and took action on several items during its recent meeting. Botkins Mayor Steve Woodruff asked the board to meet with village officials regarding the school board paying for the use of the park fields. The board set a special board meeting with the village on Sept. 18 at 7 p.m. The board postponed approval of the Shelby County Educational Service Center contract until a meeting can be held between the board and the ESC Governing Board. The board hired the following personnel: Jennifer VanSkyock, seventh-grade volleyball coach; Jennifer Kinninger, varsity softball assistant coach; Janell Welker, girls soccer assistant coach; Jordan Paul, boys soccer assistant coach; and Susan Covelli, high school secretary, oneyear contract. In other action, the board approved hiring substitute teachers at the rate of $85 per day for the 2013-14 school year: Carolyn Jensvold, Dwight Schmiesing, Harold Poppe, Whitney Rogers, Jennifer VanSkyock, Kristin Higgins, Sue Carter, Sara Greve, Paula Arnett and Karen Christman. The board also: • Approved bus routes for this school year. There are six bus routes. • Approved participation for the 2014 Workers’ Compensation Group Rating Program for an enrollment fee of $305. • Learned Botkins Local Schools’ lunch

prices are the lowest in the area. • Was told that several people in the school district will be trained in mandatory restraint. • Discussed Brown Industrial receiving a 100 percent tax abatement for 15 years for a community reinvestment area. A decision will be made at the August board meeting. • Approved the Botkins FFA to attend the 2013 National Convention in Louisville, Ky., Oct. 30-Nov. 2. • Approved a purchase order for K and K Tours for $7,650; revisions to the athletic handbook for the 201314 school year; an agreement with the Auglaize County Educational Service Center for curriculum services; and an increase to the athletic checking account to $3,000. • Adopted a resolution and approved the electrical utility easement to Dayton Power and Light Co. • Adopted a resolution of commendation for Lindsey Schneider as National Family, Career and Community Leaders of America first vice president, and Kaitlyn Schmerge, Mackenzie Brown and Brooke Bornhorst for earning a gold rating in the FCCLA Chapter Showcase Manual at the national convention. • Approved a change order to Charles Construction for $26,887.06 for 15-foot field tile. • Accepted a $250 donation from Dave and Anita Uetrecht for the art funds. • Reviewed quotes on roof-damage repair. The school district’s insurance will approve the contract. The board held an executive session to discuss personnel.

up before and after school will be reversed. The buses will be dropping off students at Anna Elementary School at 7:55 a.m. and at Anna Middle School at 8 a.m. In the afternoon, students will leave the elementary at 3:05 p.m. and then load students at the middle school at 3:10 p.m. There have been improvements to the elementary school, including a new fence that has been installed around the north playground. The upgrade allows for better school security and a better appearance for the school. The Anna Elementary School parking lot is being renovated and should be finished before the first day of school. There is no access to the parking lot during construction. School security also is getting improvements. Security cameras and a door-locking buzzer system are being installed. When students and staff are

in the building in the morning, the school will be locked for the entire school day. A buzzer system will allow visitors in to the buildings at the main entrance of the elementary, and at the north and south entrances of the high school and middle school. Other doors will be locked. While the school noted that it may cause some inconvenience for visitors, school officials feel it is important for school safety. According to Bixler, teachers in the district are transitioning to the new curricular standards being required now in all areas. School lunches will be $2.20 at the elementary and $2.45 for middle and high school. Bixler noted, “the Anna (Local) Schools have continually enjoyed success and being a part of an outstanding community. Our students benefit socially and educationally from supportive parents and family.”

Village deals with OPERS issues BOTKINS — Botkins Village Council members heard an update on issues between the village and the Ohio Public Employee Retirement System (OPERS) during their recent meeting. According to Village Administrator Jesse Kent, the problem developed after OPERS learned that the village of Botkins pays their council members per meeting at a rate of $50 per meeting. “According to OPERS, a statute from 1975 says that those eligible for OPERS must receive a salary. The village of Botkins has, from its inception, paid its council members per meeting.” “As a result, council members will have to rollover their contributions to Social Security. The village, as of right now, will not be reimbursed its contribution of 14 percent for these council members. This is still being investigated by legal counsel,” Kent stated. Village Solicitor Stan Evans told council members that OPERS appears to be “immoveable” about working with the village on the problem. According to Evans, OPERS has informed him that they will only refund the contributions made by individual employees only. The check for their contributions will be sent to the village and will go back to the employees who have been affected by this change. Evans told council members that the village’s share will not be returned. Botkins Mayor Steve Woodruff told the council that he would like to take

care of the OPERS issue going forward. Evans read the regulations regarding the issue with council members and stated that nothing has changed in withholding and reporting for now. Council member Doug Greve and Woodruff stated that they would like to see the OPERS problem investigated further. Kent told council members that the Botkins Community Improvement Corporation (BCIC) would like to use the money that is paid by the Wilson Memorial Hospital Clinic in the amount of $1,000 each month to purchase a sign in Botkins Industrial Park. BCIC asked that the council use the funds that are transferred to purchase a sign that does not exceed $7,500. Kent showed samples of the signs to the council members and stated that BCIC would give the signs as gifts to businesses that are going to be in the community. The council approved getting quotes for the sign. Council members were told that the village received a $5,725 rebate from the Bureau of Worker’s Compensation as part of the statewide rebate. Kent told council members that Nick Craft spoke with the village about the barber shop that is for sale. Kent said he told Craft that the barber shop is selling for $25,000. Craft said he

would think about it and get back with the village. Kent told council members that the Lone Pines Estate lot has been surveyed. The lot is located southwest of the detention pond. The land was originally granted as a possible future municipal park site. Kent stated that Brett Havener who surveyed the land separated a parcel of the land that can be a separate lot and is putting together the paperwork for the lot split. Council members were told by Kent that he received a phone call from Diane Aufderhaar about the survey stakes on the Lone Pine Estates property. Kent told her about the village’s plan for the lot and asked if they would consider taking it back since they gave it to the village. Aufderhaar said she would talk to her husband about it and get back with the village. Kent told council members that he had a complaint from a village resident about boat, RV and truck parking on residential streets. Kent told the resident that there was no legislation enforcing a no-parking zone in those areas unless it was marked restricted parking, but Kent said

he would tell the council members about the concern. No action was taken. Kent told council members that he spoke with Chief Tom Glass, and Glass wanted to remind residents to lock their car doors due to people getting into the unlocked cars. Kent told council members about trash contracts and noted that he had sent council members emails regarding comparisons and quotes. The current trash contract will end in February 2014. Kent told council members the village needs a new storm sewer map. The village currently has a water and sewer map that is used every day. Kent got a quote from Mote and Associates for $26,690 to build a map. Mote and Associates was able to keep the cost down by using a college intern. Kent told council members there is a need for the map because of projects in the future. The council approved the storm mapping proposal.

coenzyme Q10 helps some people, but not everybody. Vitamin D may help people, especially if they are vitamin D-deficient, as so many of us are in North America. Once the drug is stopped, 60 percent of people are completely better in one month, and more than 90 percent are better after six months. Statin drugs also rarely can cause other muscle diseases, so if you aren’t better in a month, a visit to a neurologist or rheumatologist may indeed be helpful. I have strong and mixed feelings about statins. They reduce risk of heart disease and death in people at high risk of heart disease, especially people who already have it. However, doctors need to consider the possibility of harm from these or any drugs, especially in people whose risk for heart disease is relatively low. DEAR DR. ROACH: I am on blood pressure medication and check my pressure daily. When I have eaten something with refined sugar, I notice a

spike in of my pressure. That seems to be the only difference. No increase with salt intake, just the sugar. Can you explain? — C.J.D. ANSWER: In experimental studies, raising blood sugar with IV glucose caused an increase in blood pressure, thought to be from a higher epinephrine level. It also caused markers of inflammation in the blood to go up. The body is complex, and has many pathways, but that is a possible explanation. Avoiding too much refined sugar is a sound policy, even if it doesn’t make your blood pressure spike. Knowing this about yourself gives you an especially good reason to avoid sugar.

Odds and ends Missing Iowa border collie found stuck in a tree DAVENPORT, Iowa (AP) — A 7-year-old border collie who was missing from his Iowa home for a few days didn’t get very far — he only went up. Laddy the dog was found Sunday morning stuck up a tree two blocks from his Davenport home, the QuadCity Times reported. “I asked where they found him, and the officer said, ‘You’ll never believe this,’” said his owner, Cynthia Weeks. Ron Stevenson was working in the yard of his home when he heard a dog. He had previously heard the dog barking, but he didn’t want to complain. However, something was different this time. “I heard a whining, and I knew something wasn’t right. This time, it sounded in distress,” Stevenson said. He followed the sound along his driveway and, counter-intuitively, looked up. There was the dog, at least 10 feet up in the tree. “He was kind of shielded by leaves on the tree,” Stevenson said of the dog, who he thinks maybe ran up the oak tree’s gradually sloping trunk but then became too scared to run back down.

Russia retiree cooks breakfast at care facility VERSAILLES — Fred Drees, 81, of Russia, has cooked a monthly breakfast for men living at the Versailles Health Care Center for more than eight years. The Men’s Breakfast grew out a state-mandated need to have activities for men only, according to Activities Director Candy Stump. “There are lots of things men don’t want to do, so we started the breakfast,” she said. Every first Thursday of the month, Drees arrives at the facility to have breakfast ready by 7:30 a.m. The staff decides the menu, which could include pancakes, easy-over eggs, sausage, toast, or fruit. The number of diners varies, depending on facility occupancy. This month, Drees prepared the meal for 15 men. Although some staff members help with the preparation, Drees is the only one who fries the food. And he’s the only volunteer who

has cooked the breakfast since the program began. Stump said that in 2005, when the Men’s Breakfast was developed, a daughter-in-law of Drees was employed by the center. It was she who got Drees involved. He grew up in Fort Loramie and graduated from Fort Loramie High School in 1950. He then served in the U.S. Navy for four years. Drees and his late wife, Eileen, had nine children, Diane Grillot, Gerry Drees, Mark Drees, and Mike Drees, all of Russia, and Irene Murphy, Dan Drees, and Shirley Francis, all of Versailles. One son, Jim, and one daughter, Darlene, are deceased. Drees has 31 grandchildren and 29 great-grandchildren. He has one deceased grandson. A grandchild, Stephanie (Francis) Goubeaux, is a physical therapist at Versailles Health Care Center and when asked about her

grandpa, brightened with a smile and said, “I look forward to the Men’s Breakfast, because when I walk into work that day, the smells bring me back to my grandparents’ kitchen and all the good meals and great conversations over the dinner table. My grandpa is a truly generous man and I am proud to let each resident know that my grandpa makes their wonderful breakfast.” Drees retired from BF Goodrich. He also farmed with his sons until he retired. In addition to volunteering at Versailles Health Care Center, he enjoys playing in euchre tournaments, taking trips, and spending time with friend, Miriam Cain. “I enjoy my time at Versailles Health Care Center. It’s both fun and fulfilling,” said Drees. “It keeps me busy and I enjoy helping people out.”

Center board hears reports Area man’s story included in project was trained in first aid. Nancy Kerr, of West Chester, shares excerpts of letters that her father sent to a friend back home. The tone of his letters became darker and more serious as the fighting continued. Abe Lincoln, 78, of Brookville, describes how talking to the older boys as they returned from war inspired his own service during the Korean War. William Moore, 79, of Lima, was 8 when the war began and fondly remembers how living near the B&O railroad shaped his attitudes and inspired his lifelong military service. Marilyn M. Mulligan, 80, of Rocky River, remembers how children and families expressed their patriotism and did anything they could to support the war effort. Harry Noble, 75, of Xenia, recalls how a gift from a stranger staying with his family gave him the first realization that something out of the ordinary was happening in the world. Colleen Lee Plevelich, 86, of Trotwood, worked for the War Department as a typist and was in Washington, D.C. when President Roosevelt died. She experienced segregation through a friend.

Donations to United Way can be made at the center by sending a check made out to United Way. • Senior Day at Fair, July 23, was a great success: 600 attended. It was the largest crowd ever. Next year, Senior Center members will be able to sign up at the center for the free lunch. This will save a lot of time at the fair. There was discussion about changing the menu, because city staff can’t fry the hamburgers fast enough to keep up with the crowd. Aunt Millie’s was acknoweledged for donating buns. • The blood drive collected 53 units. The next drive is Sept. 25. Lola Heintz was acknowledged for her help with the blood drives. • The center will host the Apple Fest quilt show in 2013 but not in 2014, due to the liability for the center and the disruption it causes for the center’s activities. • The board discussed blinds for the Cameo. Lowe’s estimate is $1,023 for 26. The existing blinds are old and hard to put up and down for some. Phyllis Corbin and Steve Wiford are going to work with George Groff

to get a few more estimates before a final decision is made. The money made from the euche card games will pay for this update. • On Sept. 16, the floor in the Cameo will be refinished. The Cameo will be closed for three weeks. • The center is getting estimates for rubberizing the walking track in the Cameo. • Newsletters are going to be done by email soon, to save on cost. There will be a sign-up sheet as to how the members want their newsletters delivered: emailed, pickup, or mailed. • The board voted not to host a vendors showcase at the center. The center had been approached to have a showcase for a fundraiser. Vendors would not pay an entry fee, but donate 10 percent of their profits to the center. The board approved hosting a bazaar next fall combined with a bake sale. • The board voted to contract Quick Clean to clean carpets downstairs after the Cameo floor project is complete. • Flu shots will be given by the Health Department during the September potluck lunch.

COLUMBUS — The Ohio Departments of Aging and Veterans Services has released the sixth installment of the War Era Story Project (www.aging.ohio.gov/news/storyprojects/), including an entry by a Wapakoneta man. James L. Matson Sr., 71, has written about his growing up near the railroads in Lima, and recalls that there were three things that weren’t wasted during those years: time, energy and food. The latest collection of 20 stories chronicles how towns, families and children all worked together to support their brothers, sons, fathers and husbands fighting overseas. Stories include: Vivienne Bickley, 86, of Amherst, shares an interaction she had with a neighborhood woman who was speaking out about the war and anyone who supported it. Marie Ciano, 89, of Fairborn, was attending a friend’s wedding reception with her future husband when they heard about Pearl Harbor. Ohmer Crowe, 81, of Camden, was 11 years old when a plane with new technology crashed on a farm in Preble County. He helped the pilot, who asked the family to guard the plane. Loretta Carlier Dean, 81, of Hillsboro, gives a child’s-eye view of how life in the village of Fayetteville changed following the attack on Pearl Harbor. Ida Fackler, 95, of Dayton, recalls how she and her neighbors coped with rationing and how she and her friends passed time with few men their age around. Eileen Schuckman Funk, of Westerville, recounts a hot summer evening when she was a girl of 5 in Cincinnati and how an unexpected, early-morning visitor gave her a lifelong memory. Clara Sesler Genther, 95, of Cincinnati, was a microbiologist conducting tests for the Army and recalls how rationing affected city life before and after the war ended. Jack Gibson, 83, of Dayton, was a boy of 16 in the summer of 1945. He got a job driving a truck crosscountry for the government and recalls several memorable stops. Jacqueline Helmers, of Cincinnati, supported her family in their local civilian defense unit. Her father was the commander of the volunteer group and her mother

The Board of Trustees of the Senior Center of Sidney and Shelby County met Aug. 9 to hear reports: • Director Eileen Wiseman reported the following statistics for the month of July: Total paid members, 1,008; new members, 16; deaths, 1; participation, 4,557 (duplicated); participation, 483 (non-duplicated); average daily participation, 175. • County Commissioner Tony Bornhorst reported that county income is on course with budget. The county has received no funds from casinos and has no expectation of seeing such. A fourth of sales taxes goes to Columbus, so “we come up on the short end of the deal,” he said. “What comes our way, we take half and put towards repair on bridges and the roads. The other half is going for repair to our jail, which is in need of some serious repair.” The county is next looking for some repair to Court House and useable space. All computers will be connected to all the courts, he hopes during next year. • United Way toured Senior Center with some local companies. All were very impressed. There

Reds win 5-0 for sweep CHICAGO (AP) — Most of the swings looked a little off, and many missed the ball entirely. The infielders gobbled up the grounders, and the outfielders had an easy afternoon. This was Bronson Arroyo at his baffling best. Arroyo pitched seven crisp innings, Todd Frazier homered and the Cincinnati Reds beat the Chicago Cubs 5-0 on Wednesday to complete a three-game series sweep. “It’s unbelievable the way he pitches,” Frazier said. “I just can’t understand how he does it and everybody’s off balance and I know I’m going to get ground balls so I’m ready all the time and he starts striking guys out. It’s pretty cool to watch and see a guy like that just work his craft.” Arroyo (11-9) allowed two hits, struck out seven and walked none in his second straight win. The sneaky righthander retired his first nine batters and faced the minimum through six innings. Frazier also had one of Cincinnati’s four runscoring doubles as the Reds (68-52) earned their fourth consecutive win to move a seasonhigh 16 games over .500. They improved to 13-3 against the Cubs this year, including a 9-1 mark at Wrigley Field. The defending NL Central champions have won seven of eight since an embarrassing 15-2 home loss to St. Louis on Aug. 4. They trailed division-leading Pittsburgh by 3½

games at the start of the day, with the Pirates scheduled to face the second-place Cardinals on Wednesday night. “Sometimes a team has to hit rock bottom before you can start rolling,” manager Dusty Baker said. The Cubs wasted a solid start by Chris Rusin (2-2) in their fourth straight loss. The left-hander allowed two runs and three hits while throwing just 76 pitches over six innings. With Chicago struggling to score against

Arroyo, manager Dale Sveum had Starlin Castro hit for Rusin with two out and none on in the sixth. Castro flied out to left, and Zack Cozart hit an RBI double off Carlos Villanueva in the seventh to give Cincinnati a 3-0 lead. David DeJesus rolled a leadoff single into center field in the fourth for Chicago’s first hit, but was promptly erased when Darnell McDonald bounced into a double play. McDonald singled off the glove of second baseman Brandon

Phillips in the seventh and was stranded when Arroyo retired the next two batters. Alfredo Simon worked a perfect eighth and Jonathan Broxton finished the two-hitter for Cincinnati’s 13th shutout of the season. Arroyo improved to 13-9 with a 2.92 ERA in 30 career games against the Cubs, including wins in each of his last four starts. He has been quite good at Chicago’s cozy neighborhood ballpark, with an 8-3 record and a 2.83 ERA in 15

appearances. “I’ve been comfortable in this ballpark for a long time for some reason, definitely the last probably seven years,” he said. “It’s just a lineup that a lot of times I’m comfortable against.” Frazier helped the Reds get off to a fast start when he drove Rusin’s third pitch over the wall in left and onto Waveland Avenue. It was Frazier’s first homer since July 1 against San Francisco and No. 11 on the year. “Start the game off with a little bang, that’s always a good look for me to get going for the day,” he said. Frazier and Joey Votto had consecutive RBI doubles in the eighth to cap the scoring. NOTES: Reds CF Shin-Soo Choo got the day off. Baker said he wanted to give him some rest, and he’s also dealing with a hand issue. Baker declined to specify which hand is bothering Choo. … Baker said he’s not counting on the return of LHP Sean Marshall, who went on the disabled list May 24 with a sore pitching shoulder. “You can’t expect things, that way you’re going to be disappointed,” Baker said, “and if you get them back, then you’re elated.” … The Reds send LHP Tony Cingrani (5-2, 2.87 ERA) to the mound on Thursday for the opener of a four-game series at Milwaukee. RHP Kyle Lohse (8-7, 3.26 ERA) is expected to start for the Brewers.

Partington guest speaker at Legion baseball banquet Steve Partington returned home Tuesday night, in more ways than one He was home because he’s a Fairlawn graduate and was back in his hometown. And he spent Tuesday evening talking baseball at the American Legion, where he was the guest speaker for the annual baseball banquet. That had to make him feel right at home. Partington is a former Post 217 Legion coach, who during his tenure as head of the program used his contacts as a college umpire to get a countless number of his players the opportunity to go on to play college ball. During his umpiring career, he worked the Big Ten Conference, Mid-American Conference, Southeast Conference, and Atlantic Coast Conference, and worked NCAA Regional tournaments and the Division III College World Series. Around 2009, Partington and his wife decided they’d like to live in Florida. Once there, it didn’t take him long to get back into baseball after retiring from umpiring. He started the Snowbird Baseball Classic, a six-week event held in communities near

the Gulf Coast. This year’s tournament brought in 40 college teams, many of them Division I teams, including Ohio State, Notre Dame, Michigan, Toledo, West Virginia, and more. Partington said Tuesday that the event brings in millions to the communities in which games are played. “They love me,” he said. “It’s great for those communities. It brings in a lot of money, and they try to give me whatever I need. I could probably get elected mayor.” The Steve Partington that came home this week is a slimmed down version. He said after two heart attacks, his doctor told him that “if you don’t lose some weight, I probably won’t see you much longer.” “He didn’t have to say it twice,” said Partington, who has dropped 130 pounds. His daughter still lives in Sidney but makes it down to Florida every year to help with the tournament, as do others from the Sidney area. Partington invited a cople of his former players to join him at the Legion banquet,

including Ben Ernst from Minster and Nate Counts from Botkins. The evening also including Legion coach Jason McLain handing out awards for the past season. The best offensive award went to Dalton Bollinger, who hit .452. It was the third year in a row Bollinger has won the award. He was also named the team’s Most Valuable Player for the third consecutive year. “Dalton has solidified himself as one of the best catchers in Ohio and is being recruited by Division I schools,” said McLain. “The good news is we get him back one more year. He is a special player who has all the tools to be a very good D-I player.” Shortstop Cole McEldowney won the best defensive player award. There were two $500 scholarships awarded, to Nathan Guthrie, who is attending Edison Community College and playing baseball, and Jake Lochard, who is playing at Ohio Northern. They were both members of the Legion team this season.

PIQUA — Versailles edged Russia by just two strokes to win the Dan Kendig Memorial Boys Golf Tournament, hosted by Covington at Echo Hills in Piqua, on Wednesday. The Tigers shot a 319 to Russia’s 321. West Milton was third with a 328. Leading the Tigers was Tyler Drees, who was the tournament medalist with a 74. Russia’s Austin Tebbe was second with a 77. Drees’ older brother Wes was also a medalist at the Kendig. “It is always nice to do something my brother did,” Drees said with a smile. “It was a goal. I felt like I was playing pretty well all day.” “A little bit of a shaky start,” said Tebbe, who began on the 14th hole in the shotgun start. “I was six-over on my first six holes and one-under par the rest of the day. I started on some pretty tight holes.” Tebbe, who shot a one-under par 35 on the front nine, was coming off being medalist at the County Preview Monday. “I just needed that one tournament to get me going,” Tebbe said. “I just want to keep playing well.” And Tebbe was happy with the team’s score as well. “We were right in there,” he said. “We were three shots off a school record. We want to win the County and go as far as we can in the postseason.” Russia coach Paul Bremigan was pleased as well. “This is a good week,” he said. “You don’t get a chance to play these 18 hole tournaments once school starts.

Cleveland Indians’ Jason Giambi, left, slides by Minnesota Twins catcher Joe Mauer to score on a two-run single by Mike Aviles in the fourth inning of a baseball game Wednesday in Minneapolis.

Tribe rallies, wins in 12 MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The Cleveland Indians hope Wednesday’s rally will help turn things around. Michael Brantley hit a sacrifice fly in the 12th inning and the Indians came back to beat the Minnesota Twins 9-8. Carlos Santana and Jason Giambi homered for the Indians, who won for just the third time in 10 games. Joe Mauer tied a career high with five hits for Minnesota. “When you get a win like today where you go back and forth … it’s definitely crucial,” said Mike Aviles, who had a pair of RBIs. Nick Swisher and Jason Kipnis singled off Ryan Pressly (3-3) to open the 12th. Swisher moved to third on a fly out and scored easily on Brantley’s fly out to center field. Chris Perez (5-2) blew a save but got the win. Joe Smith earned his second save, including a strikeout of Mauer to end the game. Santana homered off Glen Perkins in the 10th to give Cleveland an 8-7 lead. Mauer responded in the bottom half with a shot off Perez. The Indians, who trail Detroit by six games in the AL Central, were swept at home by the Tigers last week and then lost two of three at home to the Los Angeles Angels.

Brandon Steinke 115, Nick Thobe 121. —— Sidney tops Piqua Sidney hosted Piqua in a Greater Western Ohio Conference North dual match at Shelby Oaks and claimed a 167-196 victory Wednesday. Tom Dunn and Cole Cartwright both shot 41 for Sidney, Jalen Block had a 42 and Michael Barber 43.

After losing 3-0 to the Twins on Monday, Cleveland has won two straight. The Indians open a three-game series Friday at Oakland before playing three at the Angels. “We just need to keep trying to win series. I think the biggest thing is going game-by-game and hopefully the series will start piling up,” Aviles said. Cleveland trailed 7-3 entering the eighth inning. After the first two batters reached base against Casey Fien, Brantley had an RBI single and Giambi followed with a three-run homer that tied it. “I’m a strike thrower. I’m going to pitch to contact, and today they got me,” Fien said. “I left the ball up in the zone to Giambi, and he hurt me.” Minnesota starter Kyle Gibson allowed six hits and three earned runs in 5 1-3 innings, the fourth straight start he’s failed to go at least six innings. Josh Roenicke, Caleb Thielbar and Jared Burton pitched 1 2-3 innings of scoreless relief before Fien struggled in the eighth. “Casey’s been lights out, one of the better setup guys in our league, since we put him in that role,” manager Ron Gardenhire said. Looking to build on the confidence gained from pitching one-hit

The fall fast-pitch girls softball leagues will begin on Sept. 8 and 9 at Custenborder Field and Flanagan Softball Complex in Sidney, it was announced today. There will be two different leagues. The 3rd-thru-6th grade league will be held on Monday nights at Custenborder Field beginning on Sept. 9. The cost is $40 per player. The junior high and high school league will play on Sunday afternoons at Flanagan beginning on

ball in five relief innings last Friday, Cleveland starter Carlos Carrasco allowed 10 hits and four earned runs in 4 1-3 innings. Carrasco, who was recalled from Triple-A Friday, is winless in seven starts this year and hasn’t won since June 29, 2011, at Arizona. “Consistently, from start to start he holds his stuff very well, but he just makes too many mistakes. A lot of times you can’t get away with one mistake to good hitters. There’s times where he makes one or two or three during an at-bat and he’s paying for it,” manager Terry Francona said. Mauer, who singled and moved to third on a double by Justin Morneau, scored on a first-inning sacrifice fly by Josh Willingham. Morneau then scored on a double by Oswaldo Arcia. Brain Dozier and Mauer had RBI singles in the second to give Minnesota a 4-0 lead. The Twins went 6 for 13 with runners in scoring position after going 3 for 48 over their last six games. Minnesota entered the game last in the American League, hitting .230 in such situations. Mauer hit a two-run single in the sixth and Chris Colabello an RBI single in the seventh to make it 7-3.

Sept. 8. The cost is $50 per player. The deadline to register for the leagues is Sept. 3. To request a registration form, call Wade New at 497-8555 or Brent New at 4928414. Players can sign up as individuals, small groups or as a team, although the Ohio High School Athletic Association limits the number of players on a team that are from the same school. Both leagues will last four weeks.

CINCINNATI (AP) — Bengals receiver A.J. Green returned to practice on a limited basis Wednesday, ending a nearly three-week absence because of a bruised knee. Green was allowed to participate in non-contact drills only. The All-Pro receiver said the team was being cautious, easing him in slowly. “I am back to 100 percent,” Green said. “They just don’t want to throw me back just like this. As the days go on I am going to work my way back into them.” The Bengals play their second preseason game on Saturday night against Tennessee at Paul Brown Stadium. It’s unlikely Green would play, given the team’s

cautious approach, but he wants to get into at least one of the preseason games. “I want to play,” he said. “Just a matter of which one. So, we will see what the coaches say. I definitely want to play.” He bruised his left knee while trying to make a sideline catch during the first practice of training camp on July 25. He’s been held out of practice since then, working on getting the knee healed. Green caught 97 passes for 1,350 yards and 11 touchdowns last season. The Bengals want to make sure the knee is back to full strength for their season opener in Chicago on Sept. 8.

at Watkins Glen. He didn’t lead a lap and didn’t get involved in any of the day’s incidents. But the fivetime Sprint Cup champion finished eighth, good enough to clinch at least a wild-card spot in the Chase for the Sprint Cup. He leads the points by 75 over Clint Bowyer.

Sunday could have a big impact on the Chase wild-card race. Kahne fell to 12th in points, out of the magic top 10, and he automatically became the wild-card leader with two wins. Next on the wild-card list with a single win is Ryan Newman, who places 14th.

MAXIMUM MAX Despite being booted into a spin by Greg Biffle near the race’s halfway point, Max Papis, substituting for the injured Tony Stewart, rallied to finish 15th in the No. 14 Chevrolet. Papis said he would have had a top 10 without the accident. “I’m super proud of keeping the seat of ‘Smoke’ as warm as I could,” Papis said.

Throttle Up/Throttle Down

KYLE BUSCH With Sunday’s victory, Busch essentially sealed a spot in the Chase. He gained a position in points to fifth and now has three wins, enough to virtually guarantee a wild-card spot if he falls out of the top 10 (and that’s unlikely). JEFF GORDON After appearing to be on course to make the Chase, Gordon now has ground to make up. His early-race wreck left him with a 36th-place finish, and he fell to 13th in points, 15 out of the top 10. He’s still looking for his first seasonal win. Compiled and written by Mike Hembree.

Opportunity Gained, Opportunity Lost

Kyle Busch scores third win of 2013; Brad Keselowski misses out on first victory of season By MIKE HEMBREE Athlon Sports Contributor

After last year’s wild NASCAR Sprint Cup finish at Watkins Glen International, with eventual winner Marcos Ambrose, Brad Keselowski and Kyle Busch slipping, sliding and generally going crazy on a slick racing surface, there were expectations of similar shenanigans at the track Sunday in the Cheez-It 355 at The Glen. Didn’t happen. Although the stage was set. The field took the final green flag with two laps to go and Keselowski running second to Busch. Ambrose wasn’t in the picture. Keselowski ran in Busch’s shadow over the final two laps and probably could have spun him and inherited the lead, but the aggressiveness didn’t reach the level of last season, and Busch rolled home with a .486-second victory. Busch, with his third win of the year secured, said he wasn’t sure what to expect over the race’s closing segment, especially in light of the finishes here the past two years. In 2011, he led with two laps to go but dropped to third at the finish. He was in first starting the final lap last year but slid off track in oil and then was hit by Keselowski when he returned to the track. “All those thoughts ran through my head,” Busch said. “I really had no clue. It was just run as hard as you can, drive your car, try not

to worry about what’s behind you, whatever happens happens, and we’ll deal with it. You know, I commend Brad for doing a better job this year at bringing home a cleaner race.” Keselowski, who finished second to significantly improve his chances of qualifying for the Chase for the Sprint Cup, said there was no plan to spin Busch. “There’s racing and wrecking,” he said. “Those are two different things. Everybody defines them a little differently, and I guess that’s the code you live your life by. Me, I define last year as racing, and some people would define that as wrecking. “If I was going to take out Kyle today, it would have been wrecking in my mind, and there’s a distinct difference.” Keselowski said it was tough to accept second on a day in which he had a strong car. “That stinks, but that’s racing,” he said. “We had a shot at it. I was going to have to wreck him to really get it, and I didn’t want to do that. I thought I could cross him over here on the last corner, and the car just slid the back end a little too much, and I just couldn’t quite pull off the move.” Completing the top five on a day filled with scrambles and scrambling were Martin Truex Jr., Carl Edwards and Juan Pablo Montoya. Point leader Jimmie Johnson was eighth, and Max Papis, filling in for injured Chevrolet driver

Tony Stewart, bounced back from a spin to finish 15th. The race was slowed by eight cautions and a red flag (after heavy oil was dumped on the racing surface after an accident). The biggest crash occurred late in the race. Matt Kenseth tapped Ambrose, igniting a six-car crash that also involved Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Kasey Kahne. A few laps later, Ambrose, Papis and Brian Vickers were involved in a wreck that brought out the eighth and final caution and set up the two-lap dash to the finish. That gave Keselowski and others one more shot at challenging Busch, who led the final 29 laps of the race. But Rowdy breezed home and looks like a solid championship contender as the Chase approaches. Busch described the finish as a “relief, a big sigh of relief, just a deep breath, just like, ‘Whew.’ I didn’t even say anything until I got over to the backstretch. I was just trying to take it all in and figure it all out. “The last couple of years here have been tough, and today it could have been tough again, but we were raced clean, and we put on a good show, I felt like. We’ve had fast cars here. We felt like we deserved to win here and just haven’t quite been able to put it all together where it matters.” On Sunday, he did. In a big way.

Are Stewart’s risks worth the reward? By MIKE HEMBREE Athlon Sports Contributor

After 521 consecutive starts, beginning with the first Sprint Cup race of his career in 1999, Tony Stewart sat out Sunday’s Cheez-It 355 at The Glen. Stewart suffered two breaks in his right leg in a crash during a sprintcar race Aug. 5 at Southern Iowa Speedway. He remained hospitalized as the Watkins Glen weekend began, and there was no clear indication when he might return to the seat in his No. 14 Stewart-Haas Racing Sprint Cup car. Austin Dillon is scheduled to replace him in Sunday’s race at Michigan. Ironically, only one day before the short-track crash that sent him to the hospital, Stewart had vigorously defended his decision to race whenever and wherever he pleases, even with the possibility that such activity could negatively impact

his Sprint Cup situation. When that exact problem occurred, other drivers raced to Stewart’s defense, pointing out that his individual traveling circus does much for motorsports in general and short tracks in particular and that he should be able to race as often as he wants. Being in that group of drivers who have earned fabulous wealth in racing, Stewart certainly has the wherewithal to race whenever he pleases, and he should be able to make his own decisions about the various risks and rewards associated with such activity. The problem arrives when one considers the impact Stewart’s current situation has on his Sprint Cup team. Stewart entered the Watkins Glen weekend 11th in Sprint Cup points. Owner of a win (Dover), he

seemed to have a better-than-average shot at making the Chase for the Sprint Cup and competing for a fourth Cup championship. Now those chances essentially have disappeared. That’s one of the risks Stewart took driving in other events. Unfortunately, the result of that risk also impacts the men and women who work long hours (24 hours a day, seven days a week, if you believe garage-area talk) to keep Stewart in first-class machinery. When Stewart’s sprint car crashed hard, their hopes and dreams of riding to a Sprint Cup title disappeared. It is that situation — not the impact on sponsors — that Stewart should consider in future endeavors. His short-track racing has its value (and it’s clearly an important outlet for him), but is it worth throwing away a shot at the most important trophy in stock car racing for those who work in the trenches?

Once again, as with any repaved track, it needs to get seasoned. And it will, sitting through those cold winters up there. But it’ll take a couple years for it to really come in. Before the repave, the drivers loved Michigan because it had multiple grooves that allowed passing in the corners and on the straights. It was really a high-speed track that, for some reason, always tended to boil down to fuel mileage. If you want high speed — especially with this new Gen-6 race car — you want to go to Michigan.” NATIONWIDE SERIES

Classic Moments Michigan International Speedway Mark Martin was enjoying a banner day on June 20, 1993, at Michigan International Speedway. Although he was forced to start at the back of the field due to a practice crash with Dale Earnhardt the day prior, Martin quickly worked his way to the front and sat on point for 141 laps. Of course, as Martin’s luck has often gone, the race came down to fuel mileage, and his racecar — leading by 16 seconds — was just shy of completing the distance. Ricky Rudd’s No. 5 Tide Chevy, which was running in second place, pitted five laps earlier on the last round of green stops and finished the race. Martin’s tank ran dry with just under 10 laps remaining, and Rudd took it from there, holding off a hard-charging Jeff Gordon to earn his lone win of the 1993 season. It marked the 11th straight year Rudd had won at least one event on the Cup circuit. The streak would continue for five more seasons.

Athlon Fantasy Stall Looking at Checkers: Greg Biffle owns consecutive Cup wins at Michigan as well as two others in 2004 and ’05. Pretty Solid Pick: Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s last two Sprint Cup Series wins have come at MIS ... and he’s in need of another for use in the Chase. Good Sleeper Pick: There’s no guarantee here, but Danica Patrick finished a respectable 13th in the series’ visit to MIS in June. Runs on Seven Cylinders: Juan Pablo Montoya’s average finish of 22.0 in Brooklyn is nothing to write to Colombia about. Insider Tip: Finding speed in Michigan is dependent on areo and engineering. However, these races often come down to fuel mileage.

Volleyball season opens Saturday High school golf along with girls tennis have already begun regularseason play, and volleyball will be next, with the season starting on Saturday. There isn’t much action in store involving local and area teams, but four will be in action. Fort Loramie and New Knoxville will participate in the Coldwater Spikeoff to open the season. The Russia Lady Raiders, with high expectations this season, will open Saturday at home against Covington, and just down the road, the Versailles Lady Tigers will host Urbana. The rest of the teams in the area will open next week, when the season will be in full swing. Locally, the Sidney Lady Jackets will open on Thursday at Beavercreek, and Lehman will face

HIGH

a tough opening match at Versailles, also on Thursday. Lehman’s first home match will be on Aug. 24 against Columbus Hartley, and three days later the Lady Cavs will play at defending state champion Marion Local. Sidney won’t play at home until Aug. 26 against Wapakoneta. Fort Loramie, the defending County champion and regional runner-up to Marion Local, will play its first home game on Tuesday against neighboring rival Minster. The Lady Redskins are looking for another solid season under coach John Rodgers, with nine returning letter-winners. Anna, which won 17 games last season, draws a tough assignment in its opener, playing at Marion Local Tuesday. The Lady Rockets return seven players from last sea-

son, but have already had to contend with key injuries that have sidelined two players for the entire season. Kim Metz, the longtime Jackson Center coach, has six players back from a team that won 18 games last season, and the Lady Tigers will also find out a lot early when they open at home on Thursday against that same Marion Local team. Botkins, which will have a mix of youth and experience, will open Tuesday at Lima Temple, Houston has a new coach in Amy Makela and will open Thursday at Ansonia, and Fairlawn will kick off the season Thursday at West Liberty-Salem. The regular season will end on Oct. 12 and sectional tournament play will begin on Oct. 14. The state tournament will be Nov. 7, 8 and 9 at the Nutter Center.

HOROSCOPE BY FRANCES DRAKE

For Friday, Aug. 16, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Because Venus is moving opposite your sign today (where it will stay for the next month), your relationships with others will improve. Enjoy your good fortune. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Work-related romance might begin for some of you during the next month. All of you will want to make where you work look better and feel better. And why not? GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Slip away on a vacation if you can in the next six weeks because fun, pleasure and good times will be your top priorities. Romance will flourish. Enjoy sports events and playful times with children. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) In the next month, you'll enjoy entertaining at home as well as redecorating where you live. This is a good time to be aware of real-estate opportunities. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Your ability to write, sell, teach and act will be enhanced in the next month. Look for ways to make money from communication, because they exist. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) In the month ahead, you will want to buy beautiful things for yourself and your loved ones. However, you might also see ways to boost your income. Look sharp. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Fair Venus moves into your sign, where it will stay for the next month. This makes you even more diplomatic and charming. Everyone will enjoy your company. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Solitude in beautiful surroundings will delight you in the next several weeks. Work alone, behind the scenes or steal some time just for you. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Group activities will please you in the next month, because everyone will be easygoing and happy to see you. In fact, a friend could become a lover. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) People in authority might ask for your input about creative matters. Feel free to give advice regarding design, layout, gardening, office arrangement or furniture settings. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Be ready to grab opportunities to travel for pleasure in the month ahead. You can explore opportunities related to publishing, the media, higher education, medicine and the law. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Romance will blossom beautifully in the next month, because you feel affectionate toward someone special. This window of time is also beneficial to you in terms of favors, cash and advantages from others. YOU BORN TODAY You are so magnetic and seductive, you are often perceived as bigger than life. Nevertheless, whatever you do is refined and elegant. You always have style. You have a lot of inner grit and toughness. Nevertheless, you are sensitive and easily hurt. You always have a strong drive to succeed. This year, an important choice will arise -- choose wisely. Birthdate of: George Stroumboulopoulos, TV host/humanitarian; Steve Carell, actor; Madonna, singer/performer.

LEGALS NOTICE The purpose of this notice is to make our patients aware of a security incident involving certain records of Young Family Medicine, Inc. and the steps that Young Family Medicine has taken to rectify that situation. On June 12, 2013, a theft occurred at the office of Young Family Medicine. Three desktop iMac computers were stolen, one of which included patient information, including name, date of birth, diagnosis, and credit card information and security code. The records pertaining to certain patients included your credit card number and security code. The records were password protected. Although Young Family Medicine has no knowledge that any patient information was used in any fashion and found no evidence to suggest the theft related to anything other than stealing the hardware, Young Family Medicine believes it is important to communicate the information to the affected individuals. The theft was reported to the police who are investigating the matter. Young Family Medicine has improved physical building security, installed security cameras and an alarm system to prevent further incidents and implemented encryption and stronger password protection for all electronic health information. As a result of this incident, we suggest our patients consider taking certain steps to protect themselves, including, but not limited to: • Call the toll-free numbers of any one of the three major credit bureaus (below) to place a fraud alert on your credit report. This can help prevent an identity thief from opening additional accounts in your name. As soon as the credit bureau confirms your fraud alert, the other two credit bureaus will automatically be notified to place alerts on your credit report, and all three reports will be sent to you free of charge. - Equifax: 1-800-766-0008; www.equifax.com; P.O. Box 740241, Atlanta, GA 30374 - Experian: 1-888-EXPERIAN (397-3742); www.experian.com; P.O. Box 9532, Allen, TX 75013 - TransUnion: 1-800-680-7289; www.transunion.com; P.O. Box 6790, Fullerton, CA 92834 • By establishing a fraud alert, you will receive a follow-up letter that will explain how you can receive a free copy of your credit report. When you receive your credit report, examine it closely and look for signs of fraud, such as credit accounts that are not yours. • Continue to monitor your credit reports. Even though a fraud alert has been placed on your account, you should continue to monitor your credit reports to ensure an imposter has not opened an account with your personal information. We take very seriously our role of safeguarding personal information and using it in an appropriate manner. Young Family Medicine has sent individual letters to all patients with detailed information regarding this matter. Should you have any questions regarding this notice or desire additional information, please feel free to contact Jean Young, R.N., Office Manager and Privacy Officer at Young Family Medicine at (937) 492-7797.

UPS jet crashes near Birmingham airport, 2 dead Erik Schelzig and Jay Reeves Associated Press

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) — A UPS cargo plane crashed into a field near the Birmingham airport Wednesday, killing two pilots and scattering wreckage over a wide rural area moments after witnesses heard the massive jet coming in at treetop level. People living near the airfield reported seeing flames coming from the aircraft and

hearing its engines struggle in the final moments before impact. “It was on fire before it hit,” said Jerome Sanders, who lives directly across from the runway. The plane, an A300 that had departed from Louisville, Ky., went down around daybreak about a half-mile from Birmingham-Shuttlesworth Airport. It broke into several pieces and caught fire. The pilot and co-pilot were the only people aboard.

Weather conditions at the time were rainy with low clouds. Toni Herrera-Bast, a spokeswoman for the city’s airport authority, said the crash did not affect airport operations, but it knocked down power lines. The National Transportation Safety Board sent a team of investigators to the scene. A preliminary investigation indicated the pilots did not make any distress calls, board member Robert L. Sumwalt said.

Investigators were waiting to retrieve the cockpit-voice and flight-data recorders because the tail of the aircraft was still smoldering, Sumwalt said. UPS spokesman Jeff Wafford said the jet was carrying a variety of cargo. He did not elaborate. The pilots’ names were not immediately released. But a man who identified himself as a family member said one of the pilots was Shanda Fanning, a woman in her mid-30s from Lynchburg, Tenn.

a holistic look at the county,” said Executive Director Ellen Keyes. “Industry” in this case isn’t just manufacturing, they noted. The project will comprise photos of work in the restaurant, retail, construction and transportation industries, as well. Gibbs said local industry will be grouped into categories: things that move, build it, manufacturing, support, retail, communications and food. The council has engaged Botkins photographer Pat Elsass to take pictures throughout the county over the next several months. Phil Chilcote, direc-

tor of the Sidney Civic Band, and musician Bob Schroerlucke will select music, which the band will perform when the program is presented in March. The Shelby County Historical Society is providing historical images for the project. Gibbs and Keyes hope industries and businesses will be forthcoming about volunteering their sites and employees’ participation. The council shot 8,000 images to garner the 800 it used in “Images of the Land.” Gibbs said they could need the same number of photos for the newest project. A short video describing the enterprise is at www.gatewayartscouncil. com. The link is under “Workforce.” Brochures have been sent to an extensive mailing list of businesses. To become involved, owners and managers can call 4982787. “When the photographer arrives at a site, we discuss (with the head of the business) what’s important,” Gibbs said. “We have to be sure the employees are aware and

by looking at the video. The arts council hopes to catch not just the mechanics of work but the spirit of the workers. “There’s art in everything that’s created. It takes that creative part of your brain to build that building, make that part,” Gibbs said. Area residents filled the Sidney High School auditorium for two performances of “Images of the Land.” They’ll have the opportunity to see the next installment March 29 and 30, also at the high school. “After seeing ‘Images of the Land,’ I will never, ever think about agriculture in the same way again,” Keyes said. “I want people to think differently (after seeing ‘Workforce: The Cost of Living’). We should be proud of what we do here and proud of the people who do it. Shelby County has some really, really great people. These people make this county go. (This project) is a tribute to those people who work.”

Evans.” Evans had initially said he contacted the FBI on Grillot’s behalf, although Grillot denied he ever wanted the FBI called. On Tuesday he said he had talked to Evans, but only about an issue with one of the Anna Police officers. He said he approached Evans after some people “rustled cattle” from his property, one of whom he said was an Anna Police officer. “I filed a report with the Sheriff’s Office,” Grillot said, but claimed the deputy who took the report “misfiled” it. “I think it was intentional,” he said. Anna resident Ben Watercutter, a member of the Anna Rescue Squad, asked, “Did it ever occur to anybody that Scott Evans might not be incorrect on everything?” Craig Stiefel, also of Anna, asked when Evans’ contract would end. He was told Evans’ employment is ongoing and is not based on a year-toyear contract. J.B. Schemmel, who is not an Anna resident, said he was concerned about police protection for his grandchildren who attend the Anna school. Stacy Singh, an Anna resident and co-owner of the Anna Market, said she was in attendance “to show my support for him (Evans). I think he’s being railroaded.” Jessica Block, from Houston, who said Evans is her uncle, said, “When you hire somebody from outside, you should accept somebody with open arms. It does kind of look like railroading.” She did acknowledge that perhaps council knows some things she is not aware of, however. Anderson told the crowd that council “goes through a lot of red tape” to pick the police chief and “there may be things behind the scenes” the public does not know about involving Evans. “Our chief duty is to protect the people of the village,” the mayor stated.
