Sidney City Schools Board of Education discussed plans for the next attempt to gain approval of an income tax issue at their meeting Monday night. Superintendent John Scheu briefly addressed the failed money issue, stating that an additional number of votes cast during the August special election regarding the one percent traditional income tax levy has “narrowed the gap eight votes� from 140 votes to 132 votes that kept the levy from passing. During the recent special election, there were 1,997 votes for

the Sidney City Schools levy and 2,137 against the levy. Only 31.34 percent of voters participated in the election. Scheu noted the low turnout during his comments. Scheu asked Bill Warner, a member of the levy committee, to give a statement during the meeting. Scheu noted that levy committee members and school officials met with the “chief strategist from the county� who has given them “novel ideas� and “good suggestions� on passing the levy in November. S cheu initially declined to identify the strategist but on Tuesday said it is Chris

Gibbs. He noted the schools contacted Gibbs for his help. Scheu said Gibbs “is neither supportive or non-supportive of the levy� and is not paid for his services. Scheu said this will be the last attempt to pass an income tax issue. Warner said that Renee Davis, Dave Rose and himself will continue to serve on the levy committee as they get ready for the November election. “As we reflected during the last couple of weeks, in spite of our falling short, we are assured that our campaign theme and strategy are in line with the values of the greater community.

JOINT BASE LEWIS-MCCHORD, Washington (AP) — An Afghan farmer shot during a massacre in Kandahar Province last year took the witness stand Tuesday against the U.S. soldier who attacked his village, cursing him before breaking down and pleading with the prosecutor not to ask him any more questions. Haji Mohammad Naim appeared Tuesday in the courtroom at Joint Base Lewis-McChord south of Seattle, where a sentencing hearing began for Staff Sgt. Robert Bales in the slayings of 16 civilians killed during pre-dawn raids on two villages on March 11, 2012. The hearing afforded some victims and relatives their first chance to confront Bales face-to-face. With a thick gray beard, a turban and traditional Afghan dress, Haji Mohammad Naim testified in his native Pashto through an interpreter, speaking loudly and quickly and frequently waving a finger in the air. He pointed to where he was shot in the cheek and neck. “This bastard stood right in front of me!â€? he said. “I wanted to ask him, ‘What did I do? What have I done to you?’‌ And he shot me!â€? Bales pleaded guilty in June to avoid the death penalty. Now the six jurors must decide whether he is sentenced to life in prison with the possibility of parole or without it. See MASSACRE | 17

The city of Sidney Planning Commission met Monday to consider two requests by Choice One Engingeering concerning plat issues. The commission voted to recommend to the city council approval of both requests. One request concerned a replat of four parcels to create three new lots at 734, 750 and 804 S. Walnut Ave. The request was made on behalf of Wanda Watkins, Francis Copeland, and Keith and Jane Downey. The second request was an application for a revised preliminary plat for Plum Ridge North, Phases 1-5, located west of Sidney-Freyburg Road and north of the existing Plum Ridge subdivision. The preliminary plat proposed 99, new, single-family lots and one lot for parkland dedication. A preliminary plat was approved in 2008 for Plum Ridge North. This new plat includes some changes to street alignment and lot arrangements. The requests will now move to Sidney City Council for consideration.

Ex-Somali colonel told to pay $15M in torture case Regina Garcia Cano Associated Press

COLUMBUS (AP) — A former Somali military colonel who left the United States while facing civil allegations that he tortured a human rights advocate was ordered by a federal judge on Tuesday to pay $15 million in damages. Federal Judge Mark Abel awarded the compensation to Abukar Hassan Ahmed, who in a 2010 lawsuit said he endured months of torture in the 1980s during interrogations in Somalia. A judge had previously ruled that the former colonel, Abdi Aden Magan, was

responsible for the torture. Ahmed filed the lawsuit in April 2010, stating that Magan oversaw his detention and torture in Somalia in 1988. Ahmed said that three months of torture he endured make it painful for him to sit and injured his bladder to the point that he is incontinent. Ahmed said the torture occurred when Magan served as investigations chief of the National Security Service of Somalia, a force dubbed the Black SS or the Gestapo of Somalia because of its harsh techniques used to gain confessions from detainees. One of Ahmed’s lawyers,

Christina Hioureas, on Tuesday said the judge’s ruling sends a message that the United States will not be a “safe harbor for those who commit human rights abuses.” She said that properties owned by Magan could be seized to cover the $15 million. Ahmed was a professor at the Somalia International University and a lawyer defending political dissidents when he was imprisoned and tortured. Ahmed in 2010 found out Magan was living in the United States through a Google search. Magan lived for years in

Democrats push ban on governor’s outside pay Julie Carr Smyth Associated Press

COLUMBUS (AP) — Ohio’s governor and other statewide officials would be barred from accepting outside compensation from private employers, including those seeking state funds, under a proposal introduced Tuesday by two House Democrats. State Reps. Ron Gerberry, of Austintown, and Nick Celebrezze, of Parma, said the bill was intended to protect officeholders from undue influence or the appearance of improper business ties. The officeholders would still be allowed to collect their state salaries and any pension and retirement payments. “This, if anything, protects the government,” Celebrezze said. “It protects our officeholders and it protects elected officials, but most of all it protects our constituents.” The legislation comes amid concerns over jobcreation tax credits that Republican Gov. John Kasich’s administration has awarded to two subsidiaries of Worthington Industries (NYSE:WOR) over the past two years — as Kasich still was reporting deferred compensation payments from his time on the firm’s board of directors. Gerberry said the bill’s sponsors would like to see such payments held in a blind trust until the official leaves public office — as former Vice President Dick Cheney did with his private sector compensation when he took office. “That is the appropriate way that statewide officials should act,” he said.

Kasich received about $611,000 in salary payments during his decade on the Worthington Industries board. He severed all ties to the company after winning the 2010 election. The final salary installment came in fiscal year 2011, according to the company’s federal business filings. Kasich’s chief counsel told the Ohio Ethics Commission in a letter last week that the deferred compensation was distributed through an agreement struck in 2008, well before Kasich was governor. Commission Chairman Merom Brachman said the panel saw no reason to investigate Kasich. He said the compensation appeared appropriate and the governor’s financial disclosure statements were thorough. Combined tax breaks to the central Ohio steel processor’s subsidiaries worth roughly $619,000 are contingent on meeting job-creation promises. They were approved by a state tax board dominated by Kasich appointees. The deals were recommended by JobsOhio, a privatized economic development board championed and appointed by Kasich. Gerberry and Celebrezze said the bill was not intended as an attack on Kasich or on JobsOhio. “As we all know, we both from counties that have unfortunately at times been used to pay-to-play politics,” Celebrezze said, “and this is just another step to restore the faith in our constituents that government is doing the right thing.”

Ohio. He initially fought the lawsuit, brought by the San Francisco-based Center for Justice and Accountability, but stopped participating last year and now lives in Kenya. He doesn’t have a current attorney listed on court records. Magan had argued that the lawsuit was filed in the wrong country and too long after when Ahmed says the abuse happened. He also had said he faced his own ordeal in Somalia and fled after falling out of favor with the government. In a 2011 court filing, the U.S. Department of State said Magan shouldn’t be allowed to

claim immunity. A legal adviser for the department, Harold Hongju Koh, wrote that Magan is a former official of a country with no government currently recognized by the United States and a resident of the U.S. since 2000. Koh said that, “taking into account the relevant principles of customary international law, and considering the overall impact of this matter on the foreign policy of the United States, the Department of State has determined that Defendant Magan does not enjoy immunity from the jurisdiction of U.S. courts.”

Budget cuts reduce Ohio Head Start by thousands CINCINNATI (AP) — The number of spots for low-income children in Head Start’s preschool learning programs in Ohio will drop by more than 1,800 during this school year because of automatic federal spending cuts. Hundreds more children will lose opportunities to participate in the programs that provide health care and other benefits besides early education. Federal figures released Tuesday estimated that nearly 2,800 Ohio children will miss out because of the cuts. The federal figures include an estimate of children who would have been able to join the program during the year because of openings created by turnover. The federal Office of Head Start says preschool ranks are being cut by more than 57,000 children nationwide this year. More than a million children are served each year by the programs, which help prepare them for elementary school and provide meals and health care. The cuts also mean no services will be available through the program for nearly 200 Ohio babies and their families.

“This is the first real cut we’ve ever had,” said Barbara Haxton, executive director of Ohio Head Start Association Inc. She said the cuts also mean no services, including health care, for nearly 200 Ohio babies and their families. “People should care because there are 2,000 or more children whose educational future is at high risk,” she told The Cincinnati Enquirer. “We just left … them out in the cold.” Haxton told The Associated Press on Tuesday that 49,702 Ohio children, including babies in what’s called Early Head Start, were in Head Start in the last year for at least 45 days. Thousands move off waiting lists during the year because of turnover in the 39,106 annual slots available for Ohio children. Children entering Head Start get health, dental and mental health exams, which she said are “front-loaded benefits” that some children will now miss out on because of the cuts. Nearly all the Ohio Head Start preschools and affiliates have cut teachers and added to student waiting lists.

In Hamilton County, 181 children will lose places in program preschools, and some 300 workers have been laid off and hours cut for 90 more to offset a $1.2 million cut, The Enquirer reported. In neighboring northern Kentucky, an official said busing will be cut for 400 to 500 preschoolers. “It’s reducing options for the children who are most in need,” said Florence Tandy, executive director of the Northern Kentucky Community Action Commission. To be eligible, a family’s income must be below the federal poverty guideline, which is $23,550 for a family of four. Head Start prepares 3- to 5-year-olds for kindergarten and elementary school, while offering families and children health, nutrition, education and social services. It also supports pregnant women. Some critics for years have questioned the quality, cost and longterm impact of the program that dates to 1965. Advocates say it makes sure children’s brains are stimulated with learning at key early stages of development and prevents them from falling behind.

Ex-Ohio treasurer ‘stunned’ by deputy’s indictment Ann Sanner Associated Press

COLUMBUS (AP) — Ohio’s former treasurer reacted Tuesday to the indictment of his top deputy in an alleged bribery scheme, shortly after the state Republican Party blasted the Democrat for being silent on the case. Kevin Boyce lost his bid to keep the treasurer’s office in a contentious race against Republican Josh Mandel in 2010. Boyce, of Columbus, currently serves in the Ohio House of Representatives. A federal grand jury last week indicted Amer Ahmad, who had served as Boyce’s deputy treasurer, and Mohammed Noure Alo, a Columbus attorney and bank lobbyist, on conspiracy and wire fraud charges.

Ahmad also was charged with money laundering, conspiracy to launder money, bribery and making false statements. Both men pleaded not guilty to all charges in federal court on Monday. Boyce said Tuesday that any wrongdoing should be fully prosecuted. “I remain shocked and forever stunned on the recently released details on the indictment of my former staff member,” Boyce said in a brief written statement. Prosecutors allege that between 2009 and 2011, Ahmad, Alo, financial adviser Douglas E. Hampton and mortgage broker Joseph M. Chiavaroli conspired to use Ahmad’s position to enrich themselves and their businesses by secur-

ing lucrative state business. According to the indictment, Ahmad would funnel official broker services business from the state to Hampton in return for payments. Ahmad and Chiavaroli are accused of disguising those payments by passing them through a landscaping business in which they owned a stake. Additionally, Hampton is accused of directing more than $123,000 to Alo, who is Ahmad’s close friend and business associate. Ahmad later served as Chicago’s comptroller. Earlier Tuesday, Ohio Republican Party Chairman Matt Borges had called on Boyce to respond to the case. “For as far I know, he

hasn’t even condemned the actions,” Borges said in a conference call with reporters. “He hasn’t even expressed disappointment or shock or surprise. It’s just been total radio silence from the Democrats, and I think it’s time that they gave us some answers.” A spokesman for the Ohio Democratic Party seized on Borges’ comments, using them as an opportunity to bring up the GOP chairman’s 2004 conviction on misdemeanor misuse of public office, a charge later cleared from his record. Democratic spokesman Jerid Kurtz said the party doesn’t condone the alleged crimes in the case, “just like we don’t condone the crimes to which Borges pled guilty.”

Prosecutors rest in Fort Hood shooting trial

Today in History Associated Press

Today is Wednesday, Aug. 21, the 233th day of 2013. There are 132 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On August 21, 1983, Philippine opposition leader Benigno S. Aquino Jr., ending a self-imposed exile in the United States, was shot dead moments after stepping off a plane at Manila International Airport. On this date: In 1831, Nat Turner led a violent slave rebellion in Virginia resulting in the deaths of at least 55 white people. He was later executed. In 1858, the first of seven debates between Illinois senatorial contenders Abraham Lincoln and Stephen Douglas took place. In 1863, pro-Confederate raiders attacked Lawrence, Kan., massacring the men and destroying the town’s buildings. In 1911, Leonardo da Vinci’s “Mona Lisa” was stolen from the Louvre Museum in Paris. The painting was recovered two years later in Italy. In 1912, the Boy Scouts of America named its first Eagle Scout, Arthur Rose Eldred of Troop 1 in Rockville Centre, N.Y. In 1940, exiled Communist revolutionary Leon Trotsky died in a Mexican hospital from wounds inflicted by an assassin the day before. In 1959, President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed an executive order making Hawaii the 50th state. In 1963, martial law was declared in South Vietnam as police and army troops began a violent crackdown on Buddhist anti-government protesters. In 1972, the Republican National Convention opened in Miami Beach. In 1983, the musical play “La Cage Aux Folles” opened on Broadway. In 1991, the hard-line coup against Soviet President Mikhail S. Gorbachev collapsed in the face of a popular uprising led by Russian Federation President Boris N. Yeltsin. In 1993, in a serious setback for NASA, engineers lost contact with the Mars Observer spacecraft as it was about to reach the red planet on a $980 million mission. Ten years ago: Alabama’s top judge, Chief Justice Roy Moore, refused to back down in his fight to keep a Ten Commandments monument and lashed out at his colleagues who’d ordered it removed from the rotunda of the state judicial building. Palestinian militants abandoned a 2-month-old truce after Israel killed a Hamas leader in a missile attack. The French government acknowledged that as many as 10,000 people might have died in the country’s heat wave.

Egyptian soldiers stand guard at a checkpoint during a dawn-to-dusk curfew in the Zamalek district of Cairo, Egypt, Tuesday. Elsewhere, an Egyptian journalist working for a state-run daily was shot dead early Tuesday by soldiers at a military checkpoint, security officials said. Tamer Abdel-Raouf from Al-Ahram and a colleague were on the road after finishing a late-night interview with the recently appointed governor of Beheira province in the Nile Delta north of Cairo.

Egypt’s Brotherhood as beleaguered as its leader Hamza Hendawi and Maggie Michael Associated Press

CAIRO (AP) — The Muslim Brotherhood’s top leader looked somber and fatigued after his arrest Tuesday, his demeanor mirroring the Islamist movement’s predicament following its stunning fall from power and a deadly government crackdown. The Brotherhood’s decision to play hardball after the military’s ouster of Egypt’s Islamist president has backfired, leaving it embroiled in a crisis and looking at unattractive choices: Aligning with hard-line groups in an insurgency that almost certainly will fail or going

underground in the hope of resurfacing one day. Regardless of which path it chooses, the Brotherhood’s grim future will impact Islamic groups across the Middle East and beyond. The Egyptian organization is something of a “mother ship” that has inspired their creation and provided a role model of the political Islam they want to prevail. “It looks like it’s over for the Brotherhood,” said Sameh Eid, a former member who has maintained contact with the group. “Brotherhood families are grieving over their dead or busy trying to see how they can visit loved ones in detention or others who are injured. The animosity on the streets is

exhausting them and allies are abandoning them.” Founded in 1928, the group has spent most of its 85-year existence on the sidelines, outlawed, harshly treated and demonized by successive regimes. The June 2012 election of one of its longtime leaders, Mohammed Morsi, in Egypt’s first free presidential vote was the pinnacle of its newfound power. With its own man in the land’s highest office and its members dominating the legislature, the Brotherhood looked invincible. It did not last long, however. The military toppled Morsi in a July 3 coup after barely a year in office, dealing the Brotherhood a devastating blow.

FORT HOOD, Texas (AP) — Military prosecutors rested their case Tuesday against the Army psychiatrist accused of killing 13 people during the 2009 shooting rampage at Fort Hood, but whether the soldier plans to do anything to defend himself remains to be seen. After calling nearly 90 witnesses in only 11 days, prosecutors completed their case against Maj. Nidal Hasan. The soldier also is accused of wounding more than 30 people at the Texas Army post during the attack, the worst mass shooting ever on a U.S. military base. The judge then adjourned the trial for the day, meaning Hasan could begin his case Wednesday — but he indicated Tuesday that he planned to call no witnesses. When reminded by the judge when it was time to formally argue that prosecutors hadn’t proven their case, Hasan declined. In fact, Hasan has sat mostly silent during the trial despite acting as his own defense attorney. He has questioned only three witnesses and raised few objections, leaving even the judge, Col. Tara Osborn, skeptical about whether he would try to convince jurors not to convict him. “We’ll resume tomorrow with the defense’s case, if any,” she said. If convicted, Hasan could face the death penalty. He is charged with numerous counts of premeditated murder and attempted premeditated murder.

Pakistan court indicts Musharraf in Bhutto killing Rebecca Santana and Zara Khan Associated Press

RAWALPINDI, Pakistan (AP) — In an unprecedented ruling that tests the military’s aura of inviolability, a court indicted former president and army chief Pervez Musharraf Tuesday on murder charges stemming from the 2007 assassination of ex-Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto. Musharraf, who became a key U.S. ally in the wake of the Sept. 11, 2001 terror attacks, pleaded not guilty. The decision by the court in Rawalpindi marked the first time a current or former army chief has been charged with a crime in the country. Musharraf, a 70-year-old former commando who took power in a 1999 coup and stepped down from office in disgrace nearly a decade later, now faces a string of legal problems that in many ways challenge the military’s sacrosanct status in Pakistani society. The retired general was charged with murder, conspiracy to commit murder and facilitation for murder, said pros-

ecutor Chaudhry Muhammed Azhar. He did not detail the accusations against Musharraf, but prosecutors have alleged he failed to provide enough protection to Bhutto as she led her Pakistan People’s Party in a parliamentary election that might have given her a third term as prime minister. She was killed in a gun and bomb attack at a rally in Rawalpindi, near the capital, Islamabad. The charges also include clearing the scene of a crime and destroying evidence, Azhar said. Bhutto was respected by many Pakistanis for her condemnation of militancy and support for the poor. But her premiership was marred by accusations of widespread corruption. Her assassination set off protests across the country and helped propel her party to power in parliament and her husband to the presidency. Bhutto’s supporters say Musharraf ignored requests for additional security, and a 2010 U.N. report on her death said he failed to make serious efforts to ensure Bhutto’s safety.

In this April 20 file photo, Pakistan’s former President and military ruler Pervez Musharraf arrives at an anti-terrorism court in Islamabad, Pakistan. A Pakistani court Tuesday indicted Musharraf on murder charges in connection with the 2007 assassination of iconic Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto.

The court also harshly criticized investigators for hosing down the crime scene, failing to perform an autopsy and quickly blaming a Taliban commander for the assassination. The prosecutor said he has a list of 148 witnesses and documents including a note Bhutto sent to a close friend complain-

ing that Musharraf was not providing her with proper security. The judge set Aug. 27 as the next court date to present evidence. But Pakistan court cases can drag on for years, and convictions are often overturned on appeal. But analysts questioned whether the evidence would be sufficient. “To me, it would be very difficult to prove unless they can show an order by him,” said Hasan Askari Rizvi, an independent political analyst. “You can’t really get hold of a president simply because security was not adequate.” The chief U.N. investigator looking into Bhutto’s death, Heraldo Munoz, wrote in an article in Foreign Affairs magazine that Bhutto feared militant sympathizers within Musharraf’s government. But Munoz, who has authored a book on the investigation, said Bhutto likely didn’t think Musharraf actually wanted to kill her. “Even Bhutto, despite her email pointing a finger at Musharraf, probably did not believe that Musharraf wanted her dead — only that some people around him did,” he wrote.

Woman wins hearing after house sold for $6.30 tax bill

Best-selling author Elmore Leonard dies at 87

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — A western Pennsylvania woman whose $280,000 home was sold at auction over $6.30 in unpaid interest won a court decision Monday allowing her a fresh opportunity to argue she should not lose her home. Commonwealth Court ruled it was a mistake for a Beaver County judge to rule against Eileen Battisti without first holding an evidentiary hearing. “This was particularly inappropriate because the outstanding liability was small and the value of the home was far greater than the amount paid by (the) purchaser,” wrote Judge Mary Hannah Leavitt. Leavitt said the state Supreme Court has “emphasized that due process under both the United States and Pennsylvania Constitutions must be satisfied whenever the government subjects a citizen’s property to forfeiture for nonpayment of taxes.”

DETROIT (AP) — He was the master of his genre, the Dickens of Detroit, the Chaucer of Crime. Pretty much every novel Elmore Leonard wrote from the mid-1980s on was a best-seller, and every fan of crime stories knew his name. George Clooney was an admirer. So were Quentin Tarantino, Saul Bellow and Stephen King and millions of ordinary readers. Leonard, who died Tuesday at age 87, helped achieve for crime writing what King did for horror and Ray Bradbury for science fiction. He made it hip, and he made it respectable. When the public flocked to watch John Travolta in the movie version of “Get Shorty” in 1995, its author became the darling of Hollywood’s hottest young directors. Book critics and literary stars, prone to dismissing crime novels as light entertainment, competed for adjec-

In this Sept. 17, 2012, file photo, Author Elmore Leonard, 86, smiles during an interview at his home in Bloomfield Township, Mich. Leonard, a former adman who later in life became one of America’s foremost crime writers, has died. He was 87. His researcher says he passed away Tuesday morning from complications from a stroke.

tives to praise him. Last fall, he became the first crime writer to receive an honorary National Book Award, a prize given in the past to Philip Roth, Norman Mailer and Arthur Miller. Few writers so memorably traveled the low road. His more than 40 novels were peopled by pathetic schemers, clever conmen and casual killers. Each was characterized by moral ambivalence about crime, black humor

and wickedly acute depictions of human nature: the greedy dreams of Armand Degas in “Killshot,” the wisecracking cool of Chili Palmer in “Get Shorty,” Jack Belmont’s lust for notoriety in “The Hot Kid.” Leonard’s novels and short stories were turned into dozens of feature films, TV movies and series, including the current FX show “Justified,” which stars Timothy Olyphant as one

of Leonard’s signature characters, the cool-underpressure U.S. marshal Raylan Givens. Critics loved Leonard’s flawlessly unadorned, colloquial style, as well as how real his characters sounded when they spoke. “People always say, ‘Where do you get (your characters’) words?’ And I say, ‘Can’t you remember people talking or think up people talking in your head?’ That’s all it is. I don’t know why that seems such a wonder to people,” he told The Associated Press last year. Leonard spent much of his childhood in Detroit and set many of his novels in the city. Others were set in Miami near his North Palm Beach, Fla., vacation home. He died at his home in the Detroit suburb of Bloomfield Township, where he did much of his writing, from complications of a stroke he suffered a few weeks ago, according to his researcher, Gregg Sutter. Crime novelist James Lee Burke said Leonard was a “gentleman of the

old school” whose stylistic techniques and “experimentation with point of view and narrative voice had an enormous influence on hundreds of publishing writers.” Leonard’s work contained moral and political themes without being didactic, Burke said. “And he was able to write social satire disguised as a crime novel, or he could write a crime novel disguised as social satire.” Leonard didn’t have a best-seller until he was 60, and few critics took him seriously before the 1990s. Now the Library of America, which publishes hardcover editions of classic American writing, is planning a threevolume set of his work. He had some minor successes in the 1950s and ’60s writing Western stories and novels, a couple of which were made into movies. But when interest in the Western dried up, he turned to writing scripts for educational and industrial films while trying his hand at another genre: crime novels.

What’s the difference between sleep apnea and snoring? By Dr. Jeff Van Treese

Apneic events cause constriction of the blood vessels which raises blood pressure by as much as 25% and overworking the heart. Chronic hypertension, heart failure, heart dysrhythmias, and stroke can all be caused by chronic sleep apnea, leading to death. When the body cannot breath during sleep, it wakes up so the person with sleep apnea can breathe. Therefore, these individuals are often very tired and sleepy during the day. Impaired memory, concentration, irritability, driving skills, and poor job performance are all common side effects of sleep apnea.

Sleep Apnea

Dentists can help identify people with sleep apnea and may be very effective in helping to treat both snoring and sleep apnea, along with a physician trained in managing sleeping disorders. Various types of dental appliances are available to help keep the airway open during sleep and reduce snoring. If you or someone you know suffers from any of the above symptoms or snores heavily, please seek advice from your dentist or your family physician before it’s too late. Jeffery R. Van Treese, D.D.S. has been providing comprehensive dentistry and caring for patients in Sidney since 1987. His practice is located at 2627 Broadway Avenue in Sidney.

Upper Valley Career Center adds programs New

PIQUA — Upper Valley Career Center is preparing for 900 students on the main campus and expects an additional 1,800 students in its 14 satellite programs this year. “This is the largest group of incoming students in recent history,” said Jason Haak, executive director. The school is launching new high school programs, exercise science and manufacturing and machine technologies on the main campus and food science and technologies at Sidney High School. This year completes the phase-in of the school’s one-to-one lap top program begun last fall when incoming Level One students, typically juniors, were given computers for their exclusive use during their time at the Career Center. Completion of the $25 million dollar Ohio Schools Facilities Commission (OSFC) in 2012 has expanded technology and connectivity

to each classroom and lab throughout the building equipping students and instructional staff. “The renovation project has prepared us with the systems and technology required to help prepare students for continued education and career success progress into the next decade,” Haak adds. The School of Practical Nursing was moved back

to the main campus this summer to occupy the Health Science Center, the nearly 8,000-square-feet swing space constructed prior to the OSFC project to house high school classrooms displaced during construction. The licensed practical nursing and STNA programs classrooms, offices, clinical spaces, and a 16-seat computer lab all operate

in the shared space. The center also houses a staff wellness center equipped with cardio and weight equipment purchased with wellness incentive funds. Michelle Brunson joins the Career Center as supervisor of instruction. Brunson fills the position vacated by Dr. Eugene Cordonnier, who retired in July. Brunson comes to the Career Center

from Anna High School. Other new high school staff include Amanda Helmstetter, math instructor; Meredith Fiely, special needs instructor; Jessica Helsinger-Slone, agriculture instructor at Newton/ Covington; Kelly Hobert, administrative assistance; Jeremy Kettering, certifications instructor; Kreg McCullough, agriculture instructor at Sidney; Nathan Sailor, agriculture instructor at Fairlawn; Brent Snell, manufacturing and machining technologies instructor; Anne Vonderheide, special needs instructor; Melissa Williams, exercise science instructor; Kimberly Antoinides, culinary arts para-professional; and Gwen Rose, culinary arts instructor. New students will begin classes on Thursday with an early dismissal at 1:45 p.m.. All students will attend school on Friday. Each regular school day begins at 8:25 a.m. and ends at 2:43 p.m.

Watch for bicycles. Children on bikes are often inexperienced, unsteady and unpredictable. Slow down and allow at least three feet of passing distance between your vehicle and a bicyclist.

Every fall, more than 55 million children across the United States head back to school. With 13 percent of those children typically walking or biking to their classes, AAA has warned drivers to be especially vigilant for pedestrians before and after school hours. The afternoon hours are particularly dangerous. Over the last decade, more than one-fourth of child pedestrian fatalities occurred between 3 p.m. and 7 p.m. Launched in 1946, AAA’s School’s Open – Drive Carefully awareness campaign was created as a way to help reduce child pedestrian fatalities and injuries. Here are several recommendations from AAA regarding ways drivers can help to keep kids safe: Slow down. Speed limits in school zones are reduced for a reason. A pedestrian struck by a vehicle traveling at 25 mph is nearly two-thirds less likely to be killed compared to a pedestrian struck by a vehicle traveling just 10 mph faster. Come to a complete stop. Research shows that more than one-third of drivers roll through stop signs in school zones or neighborhoods. Always come to a complete stop, checking carefully for children on sidewalks and in crosswalks before proceeding. Eliminate distractions. Research shows that taking your eyes off the road for just two seconds doubles your chances of crashing. And children can be quick, crossing the road unexpectedly or emerging suddenly between two parked cars. Reduce risk by not using your cell phone or eating while driving, for example. Reverse responsibly. Every vehicle has blind spots. Check for children on the sidewalk, in the driveway and around your vehicle before slowly backing up. Teach your children to never

Building improvements made School started Monday for the Sidney Christian Academy with some changes and improvements greeting students. Over the summer, the school put in a new entryway and put in new doors all around the school. This was a good way to freshen up the school and make it look nice before the beginning of school. Other changes that the school went through this year have involved in the academic side of things.

According to school officials, a change in mindset is alto taking place at the school. The staff is reportedly uniting in achieving its goals to help provide the best education for students. Also, the academy has entered a scholarship program that can see kindergarten kids receive a scholarship to attend private school. The goal is to use this scholarship to attract more people in to attending private school and especially the Christian Academy.

Rose Holthaus, 2, of Anna, peers around the back of her chair to watch a game of cornhole as she chews the last of a hot dog at Sidney Care Center Tuesday. Staff at Sidney Care Center took it upon themselves to give any kids and their parents who wanted to come one last free meal before school started. Back-to-school door prizes were also given out. Rose is the daughter of Brian and Ashley Holthaus.

The Shelby Hills School has some changes to its programs with the start of the new year. The first big change for Shelby Hills is their Wee program. This program assists young children that require early intervention services. The program will be moving into a more “natural environment” and will be adopting a rotating schedule. This will allow parents to receive a calendar that tells them what weeks that they will participate in the program. Another change will be seen in the transportation department. They will be implementing a new software routing system that will allow them to make maps and schedules for the students. This new

technology will help them have more efficient routes and let students know the time when the bus will pick them up. Following is a school supply list for Shelby Hills students: -24-pack crayons -Highlighters -8-pack markers -Pencil bag -20-pack No. 2 pencils -Spiral notebook -Glue (stick and liquid) -Scotch tape -2 count erasers -Loose leaf paper -2 pocket folder -Ruler -Tissue box -Post It Notes -Scissors -Page protectors -Composition book -12-pack pens -3-ring binder

‘Beanie Weanie’ supper set for today Lehman Catholic High School’s Athletic Director Richard “Dick” Roll has announced the school’s annual “Beanie Wienie” supper. This long-standing tradition had its roots with the formation of the school in 1970, and has been held at the start of each school year since. The dinner is combined with the introduction of the fall athletic teams. Sponsored by the Lehman Catholic Athletic Boosters, the evening kicks off at 6 p.m. today. Lehman fans are invited to enjoy a dinner of hot dogs, baked beans and chips in the Harriet Frantz Gymnasium. The cost of the meal is just $2 per person. Sweatshirts, T-shirts, banners and other Lehman-wear and spirit items will be for sale

by the Athletic Boosters, Music Boosters, and Cheerleaders. Parents are also invited to come early and decorate the lockers of fall athletes. Following dinner (about 7:15 p.m.), everyone will move to the Schlater Family Gymnasium for the rest of the evening’s activities. Lehman Principal Denise Stauffer will be on hand to give a short welcome and present the faculty for the 2013-2014 school year. Teachers will introduce themselves and tell what classes they teach and the clubs that they moderate. After the introduction of the teachers, the “Meet the Teams” rally will begin with the band performing its pregame music and a rousing rendition of the Lehman Fight Song. Band Director Elaine Schweller-

Snyder will introduce Drum Major MaKenna Cabe. Cabe, in turn, will introduce members of each section of the band. Cheerleading Coach Melissa Safreed will be on deck to introduce this year’s football cheerleaders. Roll will be in charge of the remainder of the program, introducing the coaches of the fall teams. The varsity fall coaches include Joe Harrmann, golf; Evan Baker, cross country; Will Harrelson, girls tennis; Tom Thornton, boys soccer; Tony Schroeder, girls soccer; Greg Snipes, volleyball; and Dick Roll, football. Each coach, in turn, will introduce their assistant coaches and players. A number of coaches will have brief meetings with parents after the rally concludes.

Tim Steinke, of St. Marys carries trash out of New Bremen High School recently where they are doing some renovation.

NEW BREMEN — As the new school year begins, the New Bremen Local School faces several important changes. The biggest adjustment they have made is changes to staff. Overall, the school has 58 teachers. For 10 of those teachers, this year will be their first year teaching at New Bremen, as they were just hired. Also, six teachers have been reassigned to new teaching positions. Another big change that took place this summer was the location of the office in the high school building. It was previously situated near the center of the school, but it is now by the main entrance. “We did this to control access to visitors. Safety to our students and staff is very important. And also, it’s more welcoming,” said Superintendent Howard Overman. Other than that, no serious improve-

ments were made to the school building. The summer was devoted to general maintenance such as cleaning filters, having to put new filters in here and there, painting and power washing. “We’re just cleaning things up and taking care of things that the community entrusts us with,” Overman said. A change has also been made concerning the school’s curriculum. This year, New Bremen Schools are going to full implementation of the Common Core. Common Core refers to the numerous national and state standards that schools must meet. Overman explained, “It’s something we’ve been working toward for the past few years. For some of the standards there’s not a lot of drastic change, but for some of them there are.” School begins in New Bremen today.

Sidney Daily News, Wednesday, August 21, 2013

Frederick goes to Hollywood Kathy Leese KET TLERSVILLE — When Frederick Mintchell was a little boy, he dreamed of living in the big city and today he is living his dream in the bright lights of Hollywood, where he often rubs shoulders with stars as part of his job. Mintchell, 41, who grew up near Kettlersville, is an editor, writer and movie promoter who interviews celebrities and writes about them for Campus Circle, a newspaper targeted at college students, as well as people of all ages. He has interviewed everyone from Jamie Lee Curtis to Jennifer Anniston and attended Oscar parties. But his mind sometimes goes back to the Anna area, where he grew up. Mintchell’s dad and stepmother are Kerry and Sue Mintchell, of Sidney, and his mother and stepfather are Glenda (Fogt) and Tom Tuerck, of Greenacres, Fla. He is the grandson of the late Jacque and Sandy Mintchell, of Jackson Center, and Glen and Karen Fogt, of Maplewood, and the late Melba Fogt Droesch. He has seven siblings. The 1990 Anna High School graduate, who also graduated from the University of Cincinnati with a degree in communications, recalls his childhood near Kettlersville and attending Kettlersville Elementary School, where he said his interest in writing and living in a big city began. “I knew at a young age I wanted to live in a city. I went to Kettlersville Elementary and had Mrs. (Carol) Mescher for (a) teacher.” Mintchell said it was in the third and fourth grade, “I first discovered I might have a talent for writing.” As the kids in the class wrote stories, Mintchell wrote books. He said his stepmother had them bound. “I hope she still has them,” he said. “I always … liked to tell stories.” It was Mescher who encouraged Mintchell’s love of writing and he said he did well in English. “I’ve always had a … vivid imagination.” After graduating from Anna High School, where he served as student council president, was in the National Honor Society and received a number of awards, Mintchell went to college where he started interning as a student for a Cincinnati agency. The director of the agency saw Mintchell’s talent. “She (director) knew I wanted to go to New York or Los Angeles” and sent a recommendation to a movie studio for him. Mintchell said he applied at “all of them (studios).” Mintchell landed a job in Los Angeles, having never visited the city in 2002 and lives in West Hollywood today, surrounded by the Hollywood Hills. “I live a block away from the Sunset Strip,” he said. “There’s always something going on … (the) Beverly Hills corpo-

ration limit is like a half mile from me.” Mintchell landed on his feet when he arrived in LA. He said there was “never a lot of culture shock for me. I knew it was the place for me to be … once I figured my way around. Now I … can’t imagine living anywhere else.” Mintchell said that surprisingly, there are “a lot of us from Ohio out here.” “When I first moved here (L.A.), I’d never been here,” Mintchell said, stating he was immediately thrown into movie premieres and press junkets. Press junkets are held at hotels in Hollywood where a number of suites are rented. Reporters gather in one of the suites, with 10 reporters typically in a suite. The reporters get “(a) half hour with each person (celebrity).” “The last junket I was at, the US Weekly (reporter) was there. I’ve met people from all over the world,” Mintchell said and has met stars, directors and producers. But he said he has “never been star struck.” Mintchell said that reporters are handed press kits and his “pet peeve” are reporters who waste time asking questions that are answered in the press kit or who ask “off the wall questions.” “I made Jamie Lee Curtis laugh,” Mintchell said, referring to the actress who is the daughter of Tony Curtis and Janet Leigh and is known for her Dannon yogurt commercials. He noted that, “we (he and Curtis) had a conversation about Listerine strips” in an elevator. “Jamie Lee asked for one (Listerine strip) for her director (Mark Waters).” When Waters asked if Jamie Lee would like one, she reportedly jokingly responded, “‘I’m afraid those things are laced with LSD,’” Mintchell recalled. Mintchell said that not only did Curtis have a good sense of humor, but “she shook everyone’s (reporters) hands,” something actors rarely do with the media. During the Iceman junket about the movie starring Ray Liotta and Robert Davi, Mintchell said Davi was also nice to reporters. The actor, who starred in movies like “Die Hard” and “Son of the Pink Panther,” shook reporters’ hands. Mintchell said Davi was surprised that the reporters were impressed with his friendliness. “‘We need you guys (reporters) to promote our movies,’” Mintchell said Davi told them. Mintchell said his secret to a good interview is simple. “Instead of treating them like a celebrity, I treat them like they’re a person.” But the interviews do not always go well, like the one he did with Anthony Hopkins. “Anthony Hopkins didn’t like me. I kept my mouth shut the rest of the time,” Mintchell said, referring to the junket.

Frederick Mintchell checks out handprints at Grauman’s Chinese Theater in Hollywood this weekend. The Kettlersville native interviews celebrities as part of his job in the city.

But other interviews have been fun. He talked with Jennifer Love Hewitt, who starred in “I Know What You Did Last Summer” and said, “we were laughing so hard. I’ve met her several times,” Mintchell said. Mintchell said that Jennifer Anniston, best known for “Friends” and Jason Bateman, known for “Arrested Development,” are both nice people. Mintchell said he asked Anniston about any “Friends” related movies that might be in the works and told Anniston someone wanted to know. “‘Who, your mom?’” he said she joked. Mintchell said it tends to be the entourage surrounding stars or the “wannabes” that are the problem when interviewing celebrities. On one occasion, Mintchell found himself playing counselor to a star with personal problems. Tom Sizemore, who starred in “Saving Private Ryan” and has recently released a book detailing his battle with addiction, was also involved with Hollywood madam Heidi Fleiss and Mintchell said he would talk to him about his problems. “Tom, you’ve….(got) to get over her (Fleiss),” Mintchell said he told Sizemore. One time, Sizemore asked Mintchell if he would go have a drink with him. “‘I like that you are honest with me,’” Mintchell said Sizemore told him. Mintchell has also spent time interviewing Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton. He noted that Lohan’s mother, Dina, was “nice to me.” Mintchell has attended Oscar parties, but said they are “packed. You can’t move.” He noted that the parties are not as glamorous as people think. “It’s a place to be seen before you go to the real parties.” The former Kettlersville area native said he has attended world movie pre-

mieres. The studios “will give passes out to seat fillers” and Mintchell will help them fill the seats that are left after the celebrities have theirs. When the seats are full, Mintchell has to turn away the rest of those wanting to get in. “I’ve been to the ‘Oceans 13’ premiere,” Mintchell said, although he said he has not met George Clooney, one of the celebrities he wants to meet. He did meet Clooney’s parents, noting, “they were there (premiere). They seemed nice.” Clooney’s dad is a former Cincinnati broadcaster. At the premiere of “Fast and Furious 3,” Mintchell was able to take his mother and sister, who were visiting him. “They were excited,” he said, noting they got to walk the red carpet and attended the premiere party. “My mom said, ‘there’s so much food,’ (and) my sister said, ‘there’s so much alcohol.’” But Hollywood is not what people think, Mintchell said. “It’s dirty and smelly and full of crazy people.” He noted that people who have come to visit him have been disappointed, telling him, “‘this isn’t what I expected.’” “If you have any smarts about you, you know dressing like Marilyn Monroe standing on the Boulevard” isn’t going to get you discovered, Mintchell said about the strange sights in the city. He said some people dress like Elvis or other celebrities hoping to be discovered. Working one job is not enough in Hollywood. “People make fun of me because I have two or three jobs,” Mintchell said. “You have to be out here.” He works full time for the newspaper and has tended bar at Cal Tech, made famous by the television show, “Big Bang Theory.” He said he has met actors, diplomats and

astronauts at the school, although he would not name names. Mintchell said he has also met Carol Burnett, describing her as nice and met others such as Sigourney Weaver, Susan Sarandon, Justin Timberlake and Regis Philbin. He has also met Britney Spears and said she was “funny.” He liked interviewing Cameron Diaz. When interviewing stars, such as Diaz, who was much friendlier during the second interview, he said he likes to give them the benefit of the doubt, due to their travel schedules and work, which can affect their mood. Drug and alcohol problems are also a major issue for celebrities. Mintchell may be getting a chance to further his writing career, noting, “I might be writing for a reality show.” He said the show is in development and he cannot discuss details, but said his name has been submitted to the Screen Writer’s Guild for the job. “I’ve never had my name submitted … before.” “If someone offered me a movie role, I wouldn’t turn it down,” Mintchell said. Mintchell would like to interview some other stars. His list includes Michelle Pfeiffer, Meryl Streep, Robert DeNiro, Jessica Lange and George Clooney, to name a few. Living in LA has challenges, including the weather. Wildfires cause concern for his family. One time he said, he went out to his car and “there were all these ashes on my car” from the wildfires burning near his home. The earthquakes were a new experience. “There have been a few. There was one where we were at work (and) the building started swaying … bad … we all looked at each other.” After the building stopped swaying, an alarm went off and they went outside. He said

that unlike Ohio tornadoes, there is no warning when an earthquake will happen. It is also more expensive to live in LA. While food and clothes are a “little” more expensive, gas in Malibu can cost $5 per gallon. In West Hollywood where he lives, a “cheap” apartment costs $1,200 per month. Mintchell said young people thinking about a career in Hollywood need to have a back-up plan. “Have some sort of trade to fall back on.” He said that unless they are one of the few that are discovered, they will need a job. He noted that restaurant jobs are hard to get, since that is where actors want to be discovered. “Give it a good year or two,” Mintchell advises those wanting a career in Hollywood. “It took me a couple years before I felt at home here.” Mintchell still misses the Anna and Shelby County area sometimes. When he visits, he said, “I have a great time. I realize how much I miss my family and friends.” Mintchell also misses the food, noting that he misses Cassano’s, the Spot and BK Root Beer. When driving back to Ohio from the airport after moving to LA, he said, “I remember driving down the (highway thinking) … it’s (Ohio) so green, there’s so many trees, houses are so far apart.” “I remember talking about moving to LA a long time ago. I always sort of knew I’d end up here,” Mintchell said, talking about the dream that has taken him thousands of miles from home. Those wanting to contact Mintchell can do so by going to his Facebook page at Frederick Mintchell. He said he is the only one by that name on Facebook. Those wanting to read the Campus Circle can go to campuscircle.com.

Your grade of ‘passed’ will not affect your GPA DR. WALLACE: I’m a straight-A student. Ever since seventh grade, I’ve never had a grade lower than an A. I have completed grade 10. This summer, I decided to take a ceramics class in summer school. I enjoyed the class, and it was quite enlightening, and I’m glad that I took it, but I’m not happy with my grade. There is little doubt that I was the best student in the class by far. It wasn’t even close. But when I received my grade, all my report card said was “passed.” I talked to the teacher and she said that, indeed, I was a very bright student and that it was a pleasure to have me in the class, but she doesn’t give letter grades for summer

school classes. I don’t think this is right. I worked hard to be the very best student in the class, but what did it get me? A single word that said I had “passed” the class. One girl in the class was so bad that it was downright humiliating to receive an equal grade with her. When school starts in the fall, I’m going to have my mother meet with the principal and me to see if an A can replace the “passed.” I think the pass-fail grade system should be outlawed. Don’t you? — Brittany, San Jose, Calif. BRITTANY: Lighten up! You are an excellent student, but you seem to be missing the point about education. A class is not a competitive event, like

ROACH: My PSA a year ago was 8, and I started taking doxazozin and Avodart. My urination frequency went to normal. My PSA after one year is 4, and I thought that was good news, until my family doctor told me to double the reading due to the Avodart, which will amount to 8. Is that a fact? — J.G. ANSWER: Avodart and Proscar both work by lowering the amount of dihydrotestosterone, a type of testosterone, in the blood, which affects

hair loss and prostate size. Within three to six months of taking the medication, PSA levels drop by 50 percent or so. So if you started with a PSA of 8, the PSA of 4 now means that you haven’t had a significant change in PSA, which is good. Also, your symptoms are gone, so the medications are doing their job. If your PSA level had remained at 8 after a year of treatment, that would suggest a doubling of the PSA, which would be concerning for prostate cancer. I mentioned in a recent column that a study suggested an increase in aggressive prostate cancer from medications like Avodart and Proscar; however, most studies now show and most authorities now believe that these medications do not increase the risk for prostate cancer and may decrease the risk somewhat. Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible.

100 years Aug. 21, 1913 Wilson Lindsay, the 14-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. J.C. Lindsay, of Lindsay Station, met with a serious accident yesterday while cleaning a jointed steel fishing rod. He was cleaning the rod with gunpowder which in some way became ignited and blew off one of the joints which hit him in the right eye and caused a serious wound. He was brought to Sidney to a specialist last evening. ——The name of the Adlard-Persinger grain company has been changed to the Kirkwood Elevator Co. ——Members of the City Park club will meet at Crescent park tonight.

Another problem mentioned on the show was abdominal and other “soft tissue” organ injuries caused by the belt. ——— These news items from past issues of the Sidney Daily News are compiled by the Shelby County Historical Society (498-1653) as a public service to the community.

Odds and ends JONESTOWN, Pa. (AP) — A Pennsylvania restaurant owner is trying to find a good home for an 8-foot stuffed polar bear. For years, patrons of the Woods Creek Grill outside of Harrisburg have enjoyed posing for pictures with the bear, which was legally shot in Alaska in 1967, the Harrisburg Patriot-News reported. Restaurant owner Dave DeWees bought the bear and other mounted animals at auctions. “We wanted things people could come in and see, things they could walk up to,” he said. “I can’t tell you how many hundreds of people had their photographs taken with her,” DeWees told the paper. But when he shifted careers and decided to sell the restaurant, he learned that the law on bears has shifted, too. Now, the bear can’t cross state lines or be sold to someone in another country because of endangered species laws, even though it was shot almost 50 years ago. An ad for the bear appeared recently in the classified section of the Patriot-News. DeWees’ father, Ken, said he’s gotten several calls asking if the advertisement is for real.

New ADs, head coaches greet athletes for 2013 school year There are a lot of new faces coaching high school athletes locally and around the area this season. There are new head coaches at Sidney, Lehman, Minster, Jackson Center, Anna, Riverside and Houston, though not all of those are in the fall sports season. And Christian Academy has taken steps to make scheduling for its athletic teams easier — joining a conference. And it’s excited the school’s new athletic director Brad Horton. Following is a look at changes in athetes at local, county and area schools: Sidney Changes at Sidney start at the top as Mitch Hoying, a former head baseball coach at the school, has been named the new athletic director. Sidney will also have a new head c o a c h t h i s school year, but not until winter Hoying sports, w h e n Nathan Short takes over the boys basketball program. In addition, there are some new assistant coaches in football, including Koby Frye, the son of head coach Adam Doenges’ high school coach Doug Frey, who is now at Wapak, Aaron Wright, who played at Urbana University, and Frank Guillozet. As for facilities, a very visible improvement has taken place at the high school tennis courts, which have been resurfaced. The project was a collaboration among the school, the Shelby County Tennis Association and the City of Sidney. Lehman The biggest change for Lehman will come in the winter also, when two new coaches will take over in basketball. The new head coach of the boys will be John Tollefson. He coached last season at Dayton Northridge, and was also an assistant at Vandalia. He is a Cincinnati Moeller graduate. The new girls head coach is Craig Hall, a Houston graduate who

moves up from being an assistant coach last year. He played his college ball at Wilmington. This is a big year for Lehman’s athletic teams because they will finally be in a league again. Lehman was a member of the Northwest Central Conference last year, but not in all sports. This year, Lehman will compete in all sports that the league sponsors. The league also includes Riverside, Upper Scioto Valley, Lima Perry, Lima Temple Christian, Ridgemont and Waynesfield, along with Fort Loramie in football. In cross country, Bill Fuller is the new head coach, and Lehman grad Dan Jacob has joined the football staff as running backs coach. Jeremy Lorenzo, a Sidney police officer, has joined the girls soccer coaching staff as an assistant. Christian Academy There are big changes taking effect at Christian Academy this year, starting with a new athletic director in Brad Horton. In addition, the boys soccer team has a new head coach in Gunnar Weymer, and he will be assisted by his wife Stephanie along with Hannah Fugate. And they welcomed the largest turnout for soccer in the school’s history. There will also be a new head coach in boys basketball. He is Nathanial Tennent. Bigger news still is that CA has joined a new conference, the Independent Christian Schools of Ohio Athletic Conference. “It’s a group of likeminded smaller Christian school that have formed a conference,” said Horton. “It’s made scheduling a lot easier. We don’t have to play public schools with more students and bigger budgets. It’s a very good thing, and it’s opened some doors.” Some of the other schools in the conference include Urbana Christian, Bowling Green Christian, Grand Lake Christian, Calvary Christian of Bellefontaine, homeschool Ohio Heat, and Harvist Baptist Temple in Clyde. Christian Academy also remains a member of the Ohio Christian Schools Athletic Association. What promises to be a highlight of the school

year will come during winter sports, with a basketball game on the home court of the Indiana Pacers against another Christian school. “I’m pretty excited about these new opportunities,” said Horton. “In the past, there have been some lopsided games because we’ve played outside our weight class. The new league is going to be good for us because we’re going to develop some rivalries in a Christian sort of way. We’ll know who we’re going to play every year. Dayton never really organized and everybody kind of did their own thing. We would actually see players on one team, then see the same players on another team a month later.” Anna Anna has a new coach this year, but it’s also in winter sports. Veteran coach Dave McFeely takes over the ultra-successful girls basketball program that has qualified for the state tournament the last three years, and brought home a state championship twice. The biggest change in the fall is in facilities. The football field has artificial turf on the sidelines where the teams stand, there are new basketball stat boards/signage for the scoreboards in the high school gym, and there is also a new scoreboard for girls soccer. Botkins Not much has changed this year at Botkins, according to athletic director Adam Fullenkamp. He says the school/ gym building project is moving along and is on schedule. There will be some new faces in the coaching ranks. Jennifer Vanskyock will be coaching seventhgrade volleyball, Janell Welker will be an assistant girls soccer coach, and Jordan Paul will be an assistant boys soccer coach. Fairlawn A legend has returned at Fairlawn for the fall sports season. Wade Wilhelm, the coach of the Lady Jets’ volleyball program from 1976 to 2005, is back coaching the team this season. He comes into the campaign with 500 career coaching victo-

The softball field will get sod to decrease the skin infield to standard regulation size. The pavement around the track has been sealed to help prevent cracking, and the football scoreboard has been painted. Also, play clocks should be installed soon. New Cardinal flags are being purchased for the football, baseball and softball fields, and the boosters have also placed a banner on the home side bleachers at the football stadium. Riverside It’s a season of change at Riverside, with four new head coaches in fall sports and two in basketball. This fall, Tim McGill takes over as the head football coach, Elizabeth Myers is the new volleyball coach, Frank James the new cross country coach, and Angel Allen is coaching the girls golf team. This winter, there will be two new coaches in basketball, with Daniel Hickman taking over the boys program and Corey Britton the girls. In addition, athletic director Rod Yoder says the school is also planning to start a wrestling program, though it’s not sure if it will be junior high, high school, or both.

Emily Hoersten won 6-3, 7-5. • Lehman stepped way up in class and lost 5-0 to Beavercreek in high school girls tennis on Monday. The closest match came at first singles, where Harrelson lost 6-3, 6-2. The other matches were 6-1, 6-0 and 6-2, 6-0 in singles play, and 6-2, 6-0, 6-0, 6-1 in doubles play. “I thought the girls played really well today,” said Lehman coach Will Harrelson. “We were

missing our second singles so it was a new lineup. We are working on pairing our doubles

teams for the rest of the season and this was a good opportunity to see another combination.”

Reds whipped by D-backs 5-2 AP Baseball Writer

CINCINNATI (AP) — Paul Goldschmidt set a Diamondbacks record with his third grand slam of the season on Tuesday night and became the first NL player to drive in 100 runs, powering Arizona to a 5-2 victory over the Cincinnati Reds. Goldschmidt connected in the eighth inning off J.J. Hoover, ending the reliever’s streak of 23 scoreless appearances. His 31st homer tied him with Pittsburgh’s Pedro Alvarez for the NL lead. All of his career grand slams have come this season. Left-hander Patrick Corbin (13-3) stymied Cincinnati’s lefty-dominated lineup, allowing six hits, including Chris Heisey’s two-run homer, during his second complete game. Corbin matched his career high with 10 strikeouts. The left-hander shut down the Reds’ left-handed threats — Shin-Soo Choo, Joey Votto and Jay

Bruce were a combined 0 for 12 with seven strikeouts. The Diamondbacks evened their series at a game apiece and moved five games behind the Reds for the final NL wild card berth. Arizona has won six of its last eight games. Cincinnati lost for only the fourth time in its last 14 games. A bigger concern: Tony Cingrani (6-3) left in the fourth inning with a strained lower back. The left-hander has been filling in for Johnny Cueto, who is on the disabled list for the third time this season with soreness behind his pitching shoulder. Cingrani retired the first 10 batters before Martin Prado hit his 12th homer. One out later, Aaron Hill doubled off the wall in left-center, extending his hitting streak to 13 games. A trainer and manager Dusty Baker went to the mound to talk to Cingrani, who was replaced by Alfredo Simon.

The defending NL Central champions were feeling good about getting their starting lineup back to full strength with Ryan Ludwick’s return last week from a shoulder injury that had sidelined him since opening day. Now, the rotation is in flux as they try to overtake Pittsburgh and St. Louis. Cingrani’s injury spoiled a matchup of left-handers born two weeks apart in July 1989. Corbin, who is two weeks younger than Cingrani, kept the Reds off-balance with his slider. The Diamondbacks are 21-4 when Corbin starts. He has allowed two runs or less in 19 starts this season, tied with the Dodgers’ Clayton Kershaw for most in the NL. He got a few words from Choo after throwing a chin-high fastball to the leadoff hitter in the sixth. Plate umpire Jerry Meals stepped in, Choo pointed to chin and said something, then got back

in the batter’s box without further complaint and struck out. Notes: Fans brought more than 600 dogs to the game as part of an annual pet promotion. No fireworks were set off on Heisey’s homer so as not to scare the dogs. … Goldschmidt’s 100 RBIs match Adam LaRoche’s club record for a first baseman. … Diamondbacks C Miguel Montero, on the DL since Aug. 1 with a strained lower back, felt fine a day after he caught five innings on a rehab assignment. He got the day off and will catch again on Wednesday. … RH Brandon McCarthy (2-7) starts the third game for Arizona, trying to emerge from a slump. He’s 0-4 with a 6.41 ERA in his last four starts. The Reds go with RH Mike Leake (10-5), who has a 6.12 career ERA against Arizona. ——— Follow Joe Kay on Twitter: http://twitter. com/apjoekay

Miller scores two goals, Lady Jackets win opener NEW CARLISLE — The Sidney Lady Jackets opened their soccer season in impressive fashion Monday, beating Tecumseh on the road Monday night by a 4-0 score. The first half was tight, with the only goal coming with five minutes remaining when Kaitlyn Davis sent a long ball to Adrianne Miller for the goal. “We were winning the possession game, but little Miller mistakes were costing us scoring oportunities,” said Sidney coach Stacey Goffena. “I could tell it was our first game and the girls were getting settled into

game situations.” Sidney outshot Tecumseh 15-2 in the first half but had to settle for the 1-0 lead. The second half was much better for the local squad, however. The first goal of the final period came nine minutes in when Morgan Knasel sent a ball across the goal to Miller for the finish and her second goal of the night. Miller would return the favor at the 18-minute mark when she found Knasel in front of the goal for the third goal of the night.

The final goal came from the defensive third when Lauryn Foster-Wheeler took possession and carried the ball up the field and found Knasel for the final goal. Keeper Lindsay Sturwold recorded the shutout with four saves. “I thought we played much better in the second half tonight,” said Goffena. “Our defense played well after losing a starter to an ACL injury. But we’re going to have to play much quicker and complete more passes on Wednesday when we head to Beavercreek.” The Lady Jacket reserve team made it a clean sweep with a 3-0 victroy. Shaylee Hanayik scored two goals and Rachel Heckler one.

For Thursday, Aug. 22, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) For the next month, you will want to get better organized so that you feel you're on top of your scene.

In the next month, you'll be busy with short trips, errands, talking to everyone, plus increased reading and writing. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Your focus turns to money, cash flow and your possessions for the next month. At a deeper level, some of you will ask, "What really matters in life?" VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) The Sun is in your sign for the next month, giving you a chance to recharge your batteries for the rest of the year. This will attract people and fortunate circumstances to you. Yay! LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Lie low and contemplate what you want your new year (birthday to birthday) to be all about. After all, it's only a month away, because your personal year is coming to an end. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Your popularity will increase in the next six weeks.

However, you will need more sleep YOU BORN TODAY You are patient, careful and have the courage of your convictions. You're also intelligent. You detest phoniness and people who are puffed up with pride. You love to solve mysteries and make new discoveries. This year, something you've been involved with for nine years will end or diminish in order to make room for something new to enter your world.

Students head back to virtual school As local students head back to their big, brick school buildings, area students attending Ohio Virtual Academy are soon to go back to the books as well. Monday is the first day of school for the new school year at OHVA, which is a full-time, tuition-free online public school option for Ohio students statewide in grades

kindergarten through 12. Students and families may decide online schooling is a better option for them for several reasons, among which are: • The student has a behavioral or medical issue that isn’t addressed in a traditional school setting. • The student is an advanced

Levy that would support the levy, but for some reason, did not vote in the special election. Scheu thanked Warner and the others who have worked and continue to work on the levy. In other action, board members approved school district goals for the 2013-14 school year, including: • Pass a school levy to provide the needed resources to replace the expiring 9.9 mill property and expired .8 mill permanent improvement levy. • Successful implementation of the Ohio Teacher Evaluation System (OTES) and the Ohio Principal Evaluation System (OPES). • Address areas of weakness on the Ohio School Report Card for Sidney City Schools. • Maintain financial stability for Sidney City School District. In reviewing the goals, Scheu said there are a “whole lot of changes coming from … Columbus” regarding teacher and principal evaluations and he noted teachers have been attending in-service trainings to learn about the changes. Additionally, Scheu said the district needs to deal with areas of weakness in the district including the number of students with Individualized Education Plans (IEP) and disadvantaged students. Scheu said the district needs to work to “bring students up to speed.” “We need to pass a levy some time this year,” Scheu said. The goals were reviewed at the administrative retreat. Sidney City Schools Treasurer Mike Watkins gave a report noting the district is going in the same direction right now, funding the permanent improvement needs from the general fund “until (the district) can get a true permanent improvement (fund).” He said he would have more to report at the next meeting. The board approved the transfer of funds including $250,000 from the General Fund to the Permanent Improvement Fund; $100,000 from the General Fund to the Termination Benefits Fund and $20,000 from the General Fund to the EMIS Fund. The board approved appointing Ohio School Board Association (OSBA) delegates for the November

convention. The representatives from the board will include Bill Ankney, primary representative and Darrell Spangler, alternate. The board approved accepting the resignation due to retirement of Sherry Pirics, high school secretary, effective Nov. 30, 2013, and Glenna Murphy, custodian, effective Jan. 1, 2014. The board accepted the resignation of Kimberly Tucker, assistant cook, effective Aug. 16. The board approved the following personnel actions for the 201314 school year as recommended by Scheu per the adopted salary schedule, proper certification, previous employment verification and successful BCI/FBI report where applicable, including: • Kendra Ayton, re-employed on a one-year limited contract as an auxiliary services part time teacher, $22,428 per year. • Linda Kerns, one-year limited contract as an assistant cook, $10.82 per hour. • Brian Moses on a one-year limited contract as a custodian at $13.62 per hour, five hours per day. • Bret Gerstner, one-year limited contract as a custodian at $13.62 per hour, eight hours per day. • Jodi Danzig, one year limited supplemental contract, seventh-grade cheer coach, $1,186, effective July 10, and as the eighth-grade cheer coach at $1,186, effective July 10. Scheu said Danzig “was the only person” who offered to serve as a cheerleading coach. Scheu also noted that there are going to be three positions that will need to be filled by January 2014. The board approved Nathan Christian as a volunteer eighth-grade football coach for the 2013-14 school year. The board approved the bus stops for the 2013-14 school year as recommended by the transportation coordinator. Scheu said the bus stops are approved each year. The bus stops can be revised during the school year as necessary. The board approved the bus maintenance contract. They approved

renewing the contract with Wayne Truck and Trailer for bus maintenance and repair for a period of one year effective Oct. 1 at a rate of $65 per hour plus parts and a 3 percent shop fee on labor, per the terms and condition of the contract. The board approved replacement of the dishwashers at Whittier Elementary School and Sidney High School by Bushong Restaurant Equipment at a total cost of $45,889.66, including installation by Hobart. The board approved the replacement of the steamer and kettle at Longfellow Elementary School and installation of an additional steamer at Northwood Elementary School by All Things Restaurant at a total cost of $26,684.01 including installation by STS Repair Co. Scheu said the replacement of cafeteria equipment at the schools “is kind of a nice issue … our cafeteria fund is very much in the black.” It was noted that “a lot” of the items were wearing out. Ankney said the cafeteria equipment being replaced at Sidney High School was “about 10 or 11 years old.” The board approved calendar revisions to the 2013-14 school year. They include early dismissals on Jan. 16 and May 16 for teacher in-service training. Board member Darrell Spangler gave the legislative report and said Ohio House Bill 59 and the changes to the Upper Valley Career Center board are going to take place. He said he doesn’t know what is going to happen with those changes and feels that Sidney City Schools should “have some representation” on the board. Following the meeting, board member Steve Smith said the changes “pretty much” takes away the school district’s representation at Upper Valley Career Center due to changes from HB 59. The next board meeting will be held on Sept. 3 at 6 p.m. at the Sidney City Schools Board of Education building.

ORDINANCE A-2769 AN ORDINANCE ENACTING AND ADOPTING A SUPPLEMENT TO THE CODE OF ORDINANCES FOR THE CITY OF SIDNEY, OHIO

From page 1

Naim, who is about 60 years old, said he has suffered from numbness in his hand and a stutter since the shooting. He became emotional, often speaking over the interpreter, as prosecutor Lt. Col. Jay Morse asked what it was like to have someone come into his home uninvited. He eventually stood up and said he’d had enough: “Don’t ask me any more questions!” The prosecutor asked him for one more favor: to sit down and see whether the defense attorneys had any questions for him. He complied, but Bales’ lawyers said they didn’t need to ask him anything. Naim’s two sons, Sadiquallah, who is about 13, and the older Faizullah, also testified. Sadiquallah spoke quietly, responding with a simple “yes” when asked if he cried about being shot. Faizullah, who was not at home during the attack, said his father has trouble picking up even simple

objects because his hand is so weak. Among the other victims who testified was a man who goes by the name Samiullah. His teenage son, Rafiullah, was shot in both legs. His daughter, Zardana, survived after being shot in the head. “He wakes up with nightmares. He thinks the Americans are coming after him,” Samiullah said. “Zardana was a bright girl. She was shot in the head. Half her brain is missing. She is no longer the same person.” Earlier, Morse told the jury that Bales felt “inadequate as a soldier and as a man” when he left his remote post in Afghanistan in the middle of the night and attacked two mudwalled villages, gunning down men, screaming children and elderly women. He opened the government’s case by reading a 32-page “stipulation of facts” — an unbearably gruesome recitation of Bales’ actions that night,

describing how he executed a young girl who was screaming for him to stop beating her father, how he fired indiscriminately into rooms full of children and how he slaughtered 11 members of a single family, many of them still asleep on their blankets. “The accused placed his weapon on ‘burst’ and murdered everyone in the room,” Morse said. Offering the most detailed single account yet of the attack, Morse recounted the killings compound-by-compound and room-by-room, describing at one point how a widow was left clutching bits of her husband’s skull when the killer finally left. Bales looked away as prosecutors displayed pictures of some of his bloodied victims. Bales, a 39-year-old Ohio native and father of two from Lake Tapps, Wash., was serving his fourth combat deployment when he left the outpost at Camp Belambay in the pre-dawn darkness. He first attacked

one village, returning to Belambay only when he realized he was low on ammunition, Morse said. He then woke a fellow soldier, described his actions and said he was headed out to kill more. The other soldier didn’t believe him and went back to sleep. Bales left again. The massacre prompted such angry protests that the U.S. temporarily halted combat operations in Afghanistan, and it was three weeks before Army investigators could reach the crime scene. At the time, Bales had been under heavy personal, professional and financial stress, Morse said. He had complained to other soldiers that his wife was fat and unattractive and said he’d divorce her except that her father had money. He had stopped paying the mortgage on one of his houses because it was assessed at $60,000 less than he paid for it, and he was upset that he had not been promoted.

This Ordinance adopting the codification of Code of Ordinances for the period 2011 and 2012. A copy of the full text of Ordinance A-2769 as adopted by Sidney City Council on August 12, 2013 is available at the Office of the City Clerk, located in the Municipal Building, or at Amos Memorial Public Library.

From page 1 Ohio Peace Officers K-9 Certification Training for narcotic searches, criminal apprehensions, article searches and handler protection on April 25, 2003. Emir remained in service thru October 2008. During his service to the County, Emir was used on more than 169 traffic stops/narcotic searches resulting in 462 grams of cocaine and 130 grams of marijuana being seized. He was also used over 10 times in tracking and/or searching for subjects, and assisted in over 22 searches of drugs within homes. He had numerous felony apprehensions to his credit. In addition to these finds, Emir also had three large drug seizures to his credit. The first one occurred on May 26, 2004, when he alerted to a vehicle and 9 kilos of cocaine worth $900,000 was located

inside. It was being transported from California to Dayton. As a result of Emir’s alert, a controlled delivery was done and an additional $35,000 in cash and 2 pounds of marijuana was confiscated. Emir’s second large find occurred on March 6, 2005, when he alerted to a vehicle that contained 750 pounds of marijuana, worth an estimated $1.7 million. Also found in the vehicle was 20 grams of cocaine and $2,000 in cash. Emir’s third and final large find occurred on Jan. 18, 2007, when he alerted to a vehicle that contained 25 kilos of cocaine that had a street value of $2.5 million. All told, Emir had more than $5.1 million in drug seizures to his credit; a record that stands for any Sheriff’s Office K-9 in this area of the state. Emir also conducted more than 6,427 school locker searches, 747

vehicle searches while at schools, and nine narcotic searches within the jail. Emir also loved demonstrating his abilities in public relations demonstrations to schools, church groups, boy scouts, 4-H groups as well as others and others and did so more than 25 times. One of the highlights of Emir’s career was having the sitting President of the United States, President G.W. Bush, pay a visit to Shelby County on Emir’s birthday. A wall plaque will be made up which will include his badge and other items as well as a tomb stone honoring Emir will be obtained once private funds are arranged. These will be placed at the Sheriff’s Office. “Emir was 13 days shy of turning 12 years old and we thank him for all the help he has provided in keeping Shelby County safe,” said Lenhart.

Eilerman inducted into Wall of Honor FORT LORAMIE — The Fort Loramie Schools Wall of Honor Induction Ceremony will take place on Sept. 29 at 2 p.m. The event will be held in the Fort Loramie High School Gymnasium with a reception immediately following in the cafeteria. The individuals being inducted into the Wall of Honor at this year’s ceremony are James Wehrman, Paul Bollheimer, James Dillehay and Sister Marge Eilerman OSF. The public is invited and encouraged to attend this event. The purpose of the Wall of Honor is to recognize and honor those persons living or deceased, who, through their performance, achievements and contributions, reflect credit on the Fort Loramie Local Schools, so that present-day students

may find identity with the past and establish goals for the future. The Wall of Honor will reinforce and enhance a positive image inside and outside of the Fort Loramie school district, as it also strives to foster an increased sense of pride among students, faculty, administration, alumni and residents. Fort Loramie Education Foundation has worked in collaboration with Studio Eleven Promotional Products/Vivid MFG Group on the Wall of Honor display. The Wall of Honor display at the Junior/ Senior High School is an everlasting visual reminder of the dedication the inductees have provided to the school district, community and world.

Sister Marge Eilerman, a member of the Sisters of St. Francis, of Tiffin, since 1957, has led a life of service to her fellow human beings. From teaching elementary students in north-central Ohio to serving as a missionary in Chiapas, Mexico, she has left an impact on countless people striving to live their lives with dignity. At times her involvements have even brought risk to her own safety and comfort. Sister Marge graduated from Fort Loramie High School in 1954. After receiving her formation as a Catholic nun in Tiffin, she went on to teach at small Ohio rural elementary schools in Fort Jennings, New Washington, Blakeslee and Millersville from 1960-68. From 19681971, she served as an elementary school principal. During this time, she received Bachelor of Science in education and a Bachelor of Arts from Mary Manse College, Toledo, in 1968. Shortly after her teaching years, she was sent to Villa La Rosas, Mexico, about 90 miles from the Guatemalan border, to teach about sanitation practices and the basic dignity of the person. She and the other seven missioners sought to “form a better community in the spiritual sense,” according to Sister Marge.

Introducing

“There was no funding available anywhere,” she explained. “We ourselves had to fulfill all the needs.” Sister Marge then moved to Jackson County, Ky., where she served on the Kentucky M o u n t a i n Housing and the McKee Housing Authority boards, which developed new housing for low-income families. She was also a board member of the Senior Eilerman Citizens. Many people came to know and appreciate her for her one-on-one assistance. She helped form the Attic, a used-clothing store where people could not only purchase clothing and other items at low cost, but could also receive cheerful and helpful advice in living out their lives. Money generated from the Attic, with the addition of private donations, funded outreach programs, such as no-interest loans, emergency food, furniture, and clothing. Her work at Jackson County ended in 1984, when she was awarded the Key to the City of McKee, Ky. Sister then moved on to the Home Missions in Booneville, Ky., where her work with assisting low-income families continued. It was during this time that she faced her

the Catholic Diocese of Lexington, had this to say in support of Sister Marge as she began her term: “I am deeply saddened that Sister Marge Eilerman will be imprisoned for following her conscience. She will be sorely missed in Booneville.” After being released from prison, Sister served two more years on probation, continuing her assistance to the needy of Owsley County, Ky. Over the years, Sister Marge has received numerous awards for her contributions. In 1993, she received the Mission Award from the Catholic Diocese of Lexington. In 1994, she was awarded the Christian Appalachian Project award for Outstanding Service in Spiritual Enrichment to the People of Appalachia. In 1995 she received the Kentucky Colonel award. In 1996 she received the Daryl Boggs Award in recognition of dedication and leadership as a member of the Board of Directors of the Kentucky River Community Care Mental Health System. Sister considers one of her greatest accomplishments the formation of a Catholic Faith Community in the poorest county in the United States, Owsley County, Ky. When she began her work there, there was one Catholic. Today there are 17 Catholic families.

most difficult challenge. In September of 1997, Sister Marge and several other human rights activists participated in an act of civil disobedience at the entrance to Fort Benning, Ga. They wished to draw attention to the atrocities the graduates of the School of the Americas inflicted on the poor people, as well as church workers and missionaries, in Central and South America. Some of the atrocities occurred at Chiapas, Mexico, where Sister Marge had served as a missionary. Sister Marge was the first defendant to testify. Despite the severe restrictions the judge in the case placed on the court, the defendants were able to relate much of the information the jury needed to hear. In trying to explain why the defendants did what they did, their testimony sometimes brought the jury to tears. The stern reprimands given by the judge to the jurors as they left for deliberation, however, resulted in a guilty verdict for all five defendants. Sister Marge began her prison term as a “prisoner of conscience” on Sept. 29, 1998, and was released from prison in September 1999. Bishop Kendrick Williams of
