Mead Gruver P. Solomon Banda LYONS, Colo. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Coffeecolored floodwaters cascaded downstream from the Colorado Rockies on Friday, transforming normally scenic rivers and creeks into fast, unforgiving torrents and forcing thousands more evacuations from waterlogged communities beset by days of steady rain.

The relentless rush of water turned whole towns into muddy swamps and brought most transportation to a standstill. Damage assessments were on hold as authorities tried to rescue more than 2,500 people stranded in an emergency that stretched from Colorado Springs all the way to the Wyoming border.

A break in the weather aided crews as they ferried a dozen residents at a time out of Lyons

and other mountain towns that had been cut off by high water.

The Colorado National Guard tweeted that it helped evacuate nearly 300 people from Lyons and on Friday added helicopter flights to the search-andrescue efforts, spokeswoman Cheresa Theiral said.

Many roads remained impassable, and still more rain was expected later in the day.

Edison a pioneer in academics This is the third a five-part series of stories highlighting Edison Community College as it celebrates its 40th year of service. Focusing on Edisonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s academic programs, information technology, and student services, this piece was written and is being submitted on behalf of Dr. Patti Ross, Mr. David Gansz and Mr. Scott Burnam, who serve as senior administrators at Edison in those three areas, respectively.

PIQUA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; As Ohioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first general and technical college, Edison Community College was a pioneer in a number of areas, beginning with its academic programs.

City reminds dog owners about rules Sidney city officials are reminding dog owners of rules requiring pets to be on leashes while in city parks and Graceland Cemetery.

The city of Sidney takes pride in providing parks and grounds that are safe, clean and healthy for its citizens to enjoy, city officials said. Passive and active recreation is provided for all the citizens of Sidney.

The Sidney Recreation

Board, along with the cemetery and parks staff, would like to remind all park and cemetery users of the rules concerning dogs in these facilities.

Per the city ordinance, all dogs in the city parks and Graceland Cemetery must be on a physical leash, and animal waste must be picked up and disposed of off-site.

Electronic collars are not considered leashes, and the ordinances will be enforced

Obituary policy

The Sidney Daily News publishes abbreviated death notices free of charge.

There is a flat $85 charge for obituaries and photographs. Usually death notices

with this understanding.

It is considered common courtesy to clean up after your pet, city officials said. Out of respect for those interred at Graceland Cemetery and for the health and safety of other cemetery and park patrons, dog owners are asked to bring along a bag to clean up after their dogs.

The city staff asks that dog owners review and follow the rules below when enjoying city facilities:

and/or obituaries are submitted via the family’s funeral home, although in some cases a family may choose to submit the information directly.

• Rules of cemetery (from ordinance 921): Pets brought into the cemetery shall be kept on a leash and are permitted only on the roadway.

The pet owner or handler shall pick up animal waste and dispose of it off-site.

• Rules for parks (From ordinance 925): No person being the owner or having charge of any dog shall permit such dog in any city park or beauty area unless such dog is on a leash.

EPA official who cited coal pressure leaves job Julie Carr Smyth Associated Press

COLUMBUS — A veteran Ohio environmental regulator fighting what he says was a forced resignation by the administration of Republican Gov. John Kasich left state service Friday.

George Elmaraghy told The Associated Press he was escorted from the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency’s headquarters half a day early on his last day because the agency’s director didn’t want to leave him unsupervised. He said

Director Scott Nally personally walked him out at noon.

“The director had a meeting outside the office and they had to leave at 12 o’clock and he was not comfortable with leaving me in the building while he is out,” Elmaraghy said.

Agency spokesman Chris Abbruzzese said Elmaraghy had completed his 40-hour work week and declined to attend a senior staff meeting out of the office. Abbruzzese declined to comment further.

Elmaraghy wrote an email widely distributed in August

alleging pressure from the coal industry was at play in a request for his resignation. He served 39 years at the Ohio EPA, most recently as head of its Division of Surface Water.

He said the division faced “considerable pressure” this year to accommodate industry demands.

The email said coal companies sought permits that Elmaraghy indicated would have violated state and federal laws and harmed Ohio’s streams and wetlands.

Elmaraghy was stripped of his email privileges the day

he sent the email and it went public, according to emails obtained by the AP through a public records request.

He wrote to Nally that he had no access to email, couldn’t update his calendar or fill out his timecard.

“It goes without say that I am unable to conduct my job as the division chief of DSW,” Elmaraghy wrote.

“Please restore my access … as soon as possible.”

Nally sent a succinct response: “See me first thing tomorrow. You have plenty to do besides email.”

Both the administra-

tion and the agency have declined to discuss the personnel side of Elmaraghy’s case, but they have defended the state’s water permitting process.

After his situation drew national attention last month, Elmaraghy told Nally he wanted to reverse the resignation notice he’d submitted under pressure. Nally said it had already been accepted and wouldn’t be reversed.

Elmaraghy said Friday he’s hired an attorney and is weighing his legal options.

found pretending AG clears campaign to expand Medicaid Woman to be a hospital worker health coverage to more lowincome people since Republican Gov. John Kasich proposed that course of action in February. GOP leaders pulled it from the state budget, and the issue has yet to gain traction.

Roughly 366,000 Ohioans would be newly eligible for coverage beginning in 2014 by expanding Medicaid. The federal-state health program for the poor already provides care for one of every five residents in the state. The federal government would pay the entire cost of the expansion for the first three years, gradually phasing down to 90 percent — still well above Ohio’s current level of almost 64 percent.

Lawsuit settled over school shooting fund CHARDON (AP) — A legal fight over a fund created to help the families of three students killed in a school shooting rampage last year was settled Friday and the payment amounts remained undisclosed as part of the agreement.

Besides payments to the families, “the balance of the fund will be used to address ongoing physical and emotional needs of others in the Chardon community impacted by the shooting,” a settlement announcement said.

S ixteen-year- old Daniel Parmertor, 16-year-old Demetrius Hewlin and 17-year-old Russell King Jr. were killed Feb. 27, 2012,

at Chardon High School east of Cleveland. The teenager convicted in the shooting, T.J. Lane, is serving a life sentence.

After the shooting, more than $950,000 was donated to the Chardon Healing Fund. In May, family members sued, some among them saying they were cut off from the assistance while still grieving and in need.

According to testimony in the case, the fund board paid the three families living expenses for a year and gave monthly $200 gift cards to each family member, plus extra holiday money.

Parmertor’s mother, Dina

Parmertor, said the board cut off the contributions without talking with her family, forcing her to return to her nursing job before she was ready. King’s mother, Jeannie King, said she was told to seek public assistance when she asked for help paying for health insurance because she could not return to work.

Jenniffer Deckard, board chair, and other fund witnesses said the families were told after payments stopped that they could still ask for money if needed. She said the board did not deny any requests from any of the families and was not asked for additional money.

Records show victim accused her killer in 1972 shooting death COLUMBUS (AP) — A woman gunned down in a triple murder last year had accused her killer just minutes earlier of shooting her sister to death decades ago, records show.

Barbara Mohler told the gunman, who was her brother-in-law Paul Gilkey, that she had proof he had killed wife Carolyn Gilkey in 1972, according

to police records obtained

by The Associated Press.

Carolyn’s death had been originally ruled a suicide.

A few minutes later after Mohler made the accusation, Gilkey killed her at his home in rural Hocking County along with two other people: another sister-in-law, Dorothy Cherry, and his adult son Leroy Gilkey.

He then killed himself.

The documents shed new light on the chaotic final moments before the shootings on Jan. 9, 2012, and suggest a possible trigger for the killings. The documents also confirm what investigators have long said, that Gilkey, 63, was upset that day about so many people being in his house and grew agitated.

The documents also underscore tensions in the family and its complicated relationships over time, which included Paul Gilkey marrying his deceased wife’s sister shortly after her 1972 death.

That sister, Darlene Gilkey, was not wounded in the 2012 murder-suicide but had been sick and died a few days later. She had divorced Paul Gilkey

after he killed a cousin with a metal fence post in 1974, but remarried him when he was released from prison 10 years later.

An account of the murder-suicide came from Ralph Sowers, Paul Gilkey’s stepson, who told authorities Gilkey let him go free that day because he had children. He witnessed the shootings and then fled, according to Hocking County Sheriff’s Office records obtained late last month after requests dating back more than a year.

The tension that day ratcheted up when Mohler told Paul Gilkey she had proof locked away that he killed Carolyn.

“Paul told Barb. ‘I don’t care what you have,’ and said, ‘You can’t prove it,’” the records say.

COLUMBUS (AP) — Security officials at a central Ohio hospital are on alert after they twice found a woman wearing scrubs and a stethoscope pretending to be an employee.

Officials at Grant Medical Center in Columbus on Friday said they located the woman wandering near the infant floor on Wednesday and on a different floor the following day.

OhioHealth Vice President of Security

Operations Harry Trombitas says the woman was escorted out of the building in both instances and the hospital has filed a criminal complaint against her. Trombitas says the woman was unable access the secure areas housing infants and mothers.

Employees have been instructed to contact police should they see her again. Area hospitals have been alerted about the woman.

Her identity was not immediately available.

Suspect arrested in death of Ohioan found in trash COLUMBUS — Authorities say they have arrested a suspect in the death of a man whose body was found in trash dumped from a garbage truck in Columbus.

Franklin County authorities say 21-year old DeWhite Riley was arrested on a murder charge in the death of 45-year-old Dean Reinhard. Reinhard’s body was discovered Jan. 25, 2012, at a disposal company’s transfer sta-

tion. The county coroner has said the cause of death was strangulation.

Riley was being held at the county jail. It wasn’t known if he had an attorney.

WBNS-TV reported that detectives have said Reinhard was assaulted and robbed near a home on the city’s near east side, two days after he was asked to leave a university district apartment where he had been living.

posed constitutional amendment.

The Ohio Ballot Board must now review the proposal in order for the advocates to continue their effort. Supporters must then gather 115,574 valid signatures from registered voters. Once those are verified, the General Assembly has four months to act on the proposed law. If legislators pass, amend or take no action, then a supplemental petition may be circulated to get it before Ohio voters.

Advocates of the expansion have said they would prefer that the Legislature act, making a ballot measure unnecessary.

State lawmakers have been trying to find common ground on whether to expand Medicaid

40480503

COLUMBUS (AP) — Supporters of expanding Medicaid in Ohio were cleared by state officials Friday to continue their fledgling effort to put the issue before voters next year if state lawmakers fail to act on the matter.

The group Healthy Ohioans Work is leading the campaign that could put an expansion of the federal-state program on ballots in November 2014 but it must clear several more steps before voters could weigh in.

Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine on Friday said the group’s petition contained the necessary 1,000 valid signatures from Ohio registered voters as well as a “fair and truthful” summary of the pro-

UK police: Cyber crooks could have stolen millions

Today in History The Associated Press

Today is Saturday, Sept.

14, the 257th day of 2013.

There are 108 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Sept. 14, 1814, Francis Scott Key was inspired to write a poem, “Defence of Fort McHenry,” after witnessing how an American flag flying over the Maryland fort withstood a night of British bombardment during the War of 1812; the poem later became the words to “The Star-Spangled Banner.”

On this date: In 1812, Napoleon Bonaparte’s troops entered Moscow following the Battle of Borodino to find the Russian city largely abandoned and parts set ablaze.

In 1829, the Treaty of Adrianople was signed, ending war between Russia and the Ottoman Empire.

In 1861, the first naval engagement of the Civil War took place as the USS Colorado attacked and sank the Confederate private schooner Judah off Pensacola, Fla. In 1901, President William McKinley died in Buffalo, N.Y., of gunshot wounds inflicted by an assassin.

Vice President Theodore Roosevelt succeeded him.

In 1927, modern dance pioneer Isadora Duncan died in Nice (nees), France, when her scarf became entangled in a wheel of the sports car she was riding in.

In 1941, Vermont passed a resolution enabling its servicemen to receive wartime bonuses by declaring the U.S. to be in a state of armed conflict, giving rise to headlines that Vermont had “declared war on Germany.”

In 1963, Mary Ann Fischer of Aberdeen, S.D., gave birth to four girls and a boy, the first known surviving quintuplets in the United States.

In 1964, Pope Paul VI opened the third session of the Second Ecumenical Council of the Vatican, also known as “Vatican II.” (The session closed two months later.)

In 1975, Pope Paul VI declared Mother Elizabeth Ann Bayley Seton the first U.S.-born saint.

In 1982, Princess Grace of Monaco, formerly actress Grace Kelly, died at age 52 of injuries from a car crash the day before; Lebanon’s president-elect, Bashir Gemayel, was killed by a bomb.

Out of the Blue

Flight 666 not so scary HELSINKI (AP) — Would you board flight 666 to HEL on Friday the 13th?

For superstitious travelers, that might be tempting fate. But Finnair passengers on AY666 to Helsinki — which has the 3 letter designation HEL — don’t seem too bothered. Friday’s flight was almost full.

“It has been quite a joke among the pilots” said veteran Finnair pilot JuhaPekka Keidasto, who will fly the Airbus A320 from Copenhagen to Helsinki.

“I’m not a superstitious man. It’s only a coincidence for me.”

The daily flight AY666 from Copenhagen to Helsinki falls on Friday the 13th twice in 2013. Friday the 13th is considered bad luck in many countries and the number 666 also has strong negative biblical associations.

Some airlines, like Scandinavian Airlines, take these fears seriously and don’t have a row 13 on board. However, the negative connotations are a relatively new phenomenon for northern Europeans, and Finnair and other regional carriers like Norwegian and Estonian Air keep row 13.

“Less than 100 years ago, the number 13 did not have this sinister meaning; it’s quite recent in the north,” said Ulo Valk, professor of comparative folklore at the University of Tartu in Estonia. “There are 12 hours, 12 months and in Christianity 12 apostles and this is a divine number. Add one more and it brings in a certain element of chaos,” he said.

Riot police enter the Zocalo on Friday to clear out any remaining striking teachers. Minutes after a late-afternoon government deadline for teachers to leave from the city’s main plaza, where they have camped out for weeks, riot police moved in, firing tear gas and ducking hurled rocks in a confrontation culminating weeks of protests against an education reform.

Police end occupation of Mexico City center Adriana Gomez Licon Mark Stevenson Associated Press

MEXICO CITY — Riot police swept thousands of striking teachers out of the heart of Mexico City on Friday, driving protesters through the streets with tear gas and water cannons in a swift end to the weeks-long occupation of the Zocalo plaza over reforms to the dysfunctional national education system.

It was a dramatic reassertion of state authority after weeks of nearconstant disruption in the center of one of the world’s largest cities.

The teachers have marched through the capital at least 15 times over the last two months, decrying President Enrique Pena Nieto’s plan to break union control of education with a new system of standardized teacher testing that become law on Tuesday.

Authorities did not immediately report any injuries. Federal police chief Manuel Mondragon said more than 20 demonstrators were arrested.

The teachers’ demonstrations have slowed passage of Pena Nieto’s education reform and the pace of his wider agenda of structural reforms, which seeks to reengineer some of Mexico’s worst-run institutions, including the weak tax-collection system and underperforming state oil company.

Pena Nieto will almost certainly gain significant political capital if the Friday afternoon operation, led by federal instead of city police, definitively ends the demonstrations that have snarled traffic for weeks in Mexico City.

There was additional pressure to clear the Zocalo where the teachers had been camping out before the president’s first traditional Independence Day celebration in the massive colonial-era square on Sunday and Monday.

The confrontation erupted after the teachers armed themselves with metal pipes and wooden and blocked off the Zocalo with steel grates and plastic traffic dividers, threatening to scuttle the Independence Day gathering.

LONDON (AP) — A daring attempt to graft a rogue piece of hardware onto a computer at a London branch of Spanish bank Santander could have drained millions from its coffers, police said Friday, an indication of the potential for electronic crime to tear huge chunks off financial institutions’ balance sheets.

London police and Santander said in a joint statement that 12 suspects were arrested Thursday following an attempt by a bogus maintenance engineer to install a keyboardvideo-mouse — a device typically used to control several computers at once — onto one of the bank’s computers at a branch located in a south London shopping center.

Few other technical details were released, but the statement said that the hardware would have allowed the transmission of the entire computer’s desktop and “allowed the suspects to take control of the bank’s computer remotely.”

Writing on the blog of Internet security firm Sophos, John Hawes said it wasn’t clear how much damage the would-be robbers might have done “even with access to a workstation.”

“If the systems were well controlled, secured and monitored, there should still have been plenty of obstacles to

overcome before they could find their way into sensitive parts of the network, and move virtual cash out of the bank’s systems,” he said.

Police said they took the attempted robbery very seriously. In their statement, Det. Insp. Mark Raymond described it as a “sophisticated plot that could have led to the loss of a very large amount of money from the bank.”

The force put the potential losses in the millions of pounds — although it stressed that no money was ever withdrawn.

It’s not clear from the statement whether the person masquerading as an engineer was arrested at the scene. Police said that all but one of the 12 suspects, ranging in age from 23 to 50, were apprehended in the same west London neighborhood.

The scale of the potential theft is another reminder of the huge amounts that can be stolen by tech-savvy criminals. U.S. investigators say that one gang operating across 27 countries recently managed to steal $45 million in two separate sprees after compromising payment systems used by two Middle Eastern banks.

The suspects in the latest heist remain in custody. Police said searches were being carried out in six different locations in the greater London area.

Santander said none of its staff were involved in the attempted heist.

Broader Syria peace talks?

Chemical weapons first Connie Cass Matthew Lee Associated Press

GENEVA (AP) — The top diplomats from the United States and Russia raised hopes Friday for reviving broad talks to end the long and deadly Syrian civil war, even as they struggled to deal with the most notorious part — the use of chemical weapons on civilians. The path to a U.N. resolution on securing those weapons seemed at least somewhat clearer, with the U.S. indicating it could accept an enforcement measure that didn’t threaten military retribution.

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, leading talks in Geneva to defuse the crisis, both made clear that any prospects for restarting broad

peace negotiations depended on first settling the standoff over the chemical weapons. They were to meet again Saturday.

The U.S. has been seeking a U.N. Security Council resolution to solidify the turnover that Syrian President Bashar Assad has promised, including consequences if he doesn’t follow through. Addressing a difficult sticking point, administration officials said Friday that President Barack Obama was open to a resolution that did not include military force as a punishment, given that Russia would be all but certain to veto any measure including such a penalty.

Even without a military trigger included in a U.N. resolution, the officials said Obama would retain the authority to order U.S. air strikes against Syria.

At the White House, Obama said any agreement to remove Syria’s chemical weapons stockpile “needs to be verifiable and enforceable.” As for possible U.N. action, State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said, “We are not going to prejudge the outcome of negotiations that are just beginning in New York.

The U.S. has been clear that for any effort to be credible it must be verifiable and include consequences for noncompliance.”

Senior administration officials also outlined for the first time a timetable for a diplomatic resolution of the issue of the weapons, saying the U.S. will know within a few weeks whether a path is workable. The officials spoke only on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the internal deliberations publicly.

U.N. inspectors prepared to turn in their own poison gas report this weekend, sure to be an important basis for any further action.

Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said he expected “an overwhelming report” that chemical weapons were indeed used on the outskirts of Damascus on Aug. 21. The chief inspector, Ake Sellstrom, told The Associated Press that he would deliver his report to the secretary-general in New York this weekend.

In Geneva, meanwhile, Kerry and Lavrov have disclosed little since their meetings began Thursday with Kerry’s dismissal of Assad’s offer to begin by turning over information, not weapons, starting weeks from now after signing an international convention.

End From page 1 Most of those who were stranded were not in immediate danger. And many chose to stay behind with loved ones or to watch over their property. But at least three people have been killed and another person was missing.

The rains forced hundreds of people to seek emergency shelter up and down Colorado’s heavily populated Front Range, which has received more than 15 inches of rain this week, according to the National Weather Service.

That’s about half the amount of precipitation that normally falls in the foothills near Boulder during an entire year.

Boulder County officials said 20 people were unaccounted for Friday. But, he noted, that doesn’t necessarily mean they are missing.

“It means we haven’t heard back from them,” county spokesman James Burrus said.

Wherever the muddy water gushed, it created an astounding mess and countless inconveniences. In at least one community, the flooding caused sewer grates to erupt into huge black geysers.

The National Park Service

Jim Thomas uses patio stones Friday to hold back the water from their home in Boulder, Colo. People in Boulder were ordered to evacuate as water rose to dangerous levels amid a storm system that has been dropping rain for a week.

closed Rocky Mountain National Park and was escorting people from nearby Estes Park along a trail over the Continental Divide.

About 90 miles of Interstate 25 were closed Friday from Denver to Cheyenne, Wyo., because of flooding on the St. Vrain, Poudre and Big Thompson rivers, transportation officials said.

Two backpackers got stranded by an ice storm that resulted from the same weather system that caused the flooding.

Suzanne Turell and Connie Yang of York, Maine, last sent a text message Thursday with their GPS coordinates, but their cellphones went dead. The pair hiked off Longs Peak just as the National Park Service was organizing a rescue effort.

Boulder officials told about 4,000 people living along Boulder Creek to head for higher ground as debris and mud coming off the mountainsides caused the creek to rise rapidly Thursday night, authorities said.

The creek’s waters ran a cafe-au-lait color and began to recede after midnight, but conditions remained dangerous, authorities said.

The entire hamlet of Eldorado Springs, home to about 500 people, was also urged to evacuate because of a flash flood and mudslide threat along South Boulder Creek, Burrus said.

In Fort Collins, neighborhoods along the Cache La Poudre River were evacuated overnight, with the river expected to rise to nearly 2 feet above flood stage Friday, according to the weather service.

The city closed bridges after water began topping Seaman Reservoir in the Poudre Canyon.

Residents were warned to stay clear of the river.

In Lyons, residents took shelter on higher ground, including some at an elementary school, before National Guard convoys pushed through the water.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) This is a daydreamy day, so go with the flow. You can be productive in a creative way. However, postpone financial and major decisions until tomorrow.

YOU BORN TODAY You have a lot of zest for life! You are generous, dynamic and enthusiastic.

You’re also hardworking and have the self-discipline to master a technique. You are courageous and frank.

People should recognize that you are high-spirited and need lots of freedom.

This year you will work to build or construct something important to you.

Soon your rewards will follow!

It’s a sign that you’re taking a risk — speaking before an audience — and gearing up to do your best. Don’t worry about it, but if the moisture is a problem, keep a handkerchief or tissue in your hands to keep your palms dry. Remember,

Family members are working with the American embassy in Oman in hopes of accomplishing Holcomb’s release.

“They keep saying they’re going to release him.

We’ve heard that four times now,” Holcomb’s sister, Tammy Murray, said Friday afternoon. “We have no answers at this point about when he is coming home or if he is coming home — nothing.”

Weekends in Oman are observed Thursday and Friday, so that could explain why nothing was done the past couple of days, Murray said.

“Our fingers are crossed. We hope to hear news tomorrow (Saturday),” Murray said.

The family has had no contact with Holcomb since he was jailed, she said.

His mother, Diana Erb, of Sidney, said Holcomb injured his left arm when he was wrestling with his son prior to going to Oman. Holcomb, a father of two, had surgery on the arm. Murray said another prisoner stomped on the injured arm.

“They have since moved him to a more secluded place,” she said. “He’s the only American in there.”

Murray said the attorney working on the case said Holcomb was taken to a hospital and given medication for his arm.

Holcomb is the focus of a Facebook site, Free Billy Holcomb, which has attracted hundreds of responses from family and friends concerned about his fate.

the first car, forcing it partially under the bus.

Both drivers of the vehicles were transported to Wilson Memorial Hospital where they were treated for apparent minor injuries.

The bus had seven students on board. One student was in the safety zone waiting with his mother when the accident occurred. Neither the bus driver, Deb Ward, nor the

students were injured.

The two-week old bus was damaged in the rear and was towed to be repaired.

It will remain out of service until then.

Students aboard the bus were transported to school

by Sidney City Schools Superintendent John Scheu and Transportation Director Mark Barhorst.

Once the students were at school, students’ parents were notified of the

accident.

“We are incredibly thankful this accident was not worse,” stated Scheu.

According to a Sheriff’s Office report, the drivers of the other vehicles were Sandra L. Staley, 53, 1619 Lindsey Road, and Jackson Watkins, 16, 3155 Deer Path Way. Staley was stopped about 57 feet behind the bus.

Watkins was eastbound on Millcreek. He told investi-

gators he did not see the bus because of glare from the sun. His car hit the Staley auto in the rear, pushing it into the bus.

The Watkins auto then went off the left side of the road. Sidney Fire and Emergency Services took Staley to the hospital.

Watkins was taken there by private vehicle.

Deputies cited Watkins with failure to maintain an assured clear distance.

in prison. On an appeal, he was re-sentenced to the same term earlier this week in Shelby County Common Pleas Court.

William Trapp was charged with the aggravated murder of his brother but in January of 2012 the charge was dismissed due to his medical condition.

He reportedly suffered from diabetes and high blood pressure and had lost both legs to amputation.

William was reportedly the beneficiary of his brother’s $200,000 life insurance policy.

After being released,William Trapp filed a lawsuit in U.S.

District Court against a number of local and state officials alleging violations of his Constitutional rights while he was held at the Shelby County Jail.

That suit was thrown out by the judge last month, however, stating the claims were “vague allegations of wrongdoing.”

Edison From page 1 Assisting and Social Services.

Edison’s academic programs undergo systematic reviews, which utilize both internal and external stakeholders to ensure that our programs are academically rigorous, and relevant to the needs of the businesses and industries who hire our graduates. In the 21st century, however, rigor and relevance must be accompanied by the right delivery method. In addition to maintaining strong commitment to our brick-and-mortar classroom delivery, Edison also offers programs and courses completely online and in a hybrid online/ in-person format. In order for all of this instruction to work, in multiple delivery formats and across so varied a set of programs, Edison has to employ the best and most current technology and learning resources.

Back when the college’s ‘original six’ academic programs were launched, rotary telephones,

learning center for those times when students need more individualized attention in certain content areas.

Edison allows students and visitors to browse the web with their own wireless devices or on computers in the Internet Café, Library, and Learning Center.

“Smart” classrooms are outfitted with PCs and projectors. Several classrooms allow teleconferencing, so Faculty members can teach in Piqua while their students are present at the Darke County campus in Greenville, or vice versa. The telephone system is part of the computing network, so all voice messages are sent as recordings attached to e-mails. All campus information, from student records, to human resources files, to departmental budgets are handled through a master database, integrating all areas of the college. Just as Edison has always invested in new technologies to help ensure

student success, it has also done the same to ensure a broad range of student services.

Edison’s student services encompass two distinct functions: getting students enrolled and helping them succeed.

Enrollment consists of applying, placement testing, meeting with an advisor, attending orientation, registering for classes and making payment. For most students, payment is made in part or total using financial aid.

Student success services take over once students become acquainted with their first semester of classes and include success and academic advising, accommodative services, academic alerts, and student life and athletics.

Most recently, the way students navigate Edison’s services has undergone a major transformation. Students no longer have to be shuffled among multiple staff members to get basic

needs met. Employing a ‘personal shopper’ approach, many services are now delivered by front line and phone staffs who meet upwards of 80 percent of student needs. They are supported by service area experts who help when the need is too deep or requires more time to solve.

This is just a snapshot of what Edison offers by way of academic programs, cutting edge technological resources, and student services, but those are hollow concepts unless executed by caring employees. Regardless of where students interact with faculty and staff at Edison, in these areas of others, they will find people deeply committed to student success and who believe in the quality, value, and opportunity that Edison provides.

Next week, the series will take a look at the work of the Edison Foundation and learn about its support of the college and its students.

handwritten memos, and letters produced on typewriters were standard. Now Edison is a leader in the electronic information age.

Edison’s course listing is available on the internet, allowing current and prospective students to devise schedules and register for classes through its website.

Applicants receive Edison e-mail accounts, and can log on to the Edison network at their leisure.

thought I should change my Crestor prescription to 5 mg from 10 mg because of my low LDL number. I worry to some degree that the past 12 months may have cause changes in my body chemistry to put me at a higher risk for heart disease and/or prostate cancer. I’m going back on a 10-mg Crestor pill.

However, there is another side effect that may come with taking statin drugs, and this is the effect on the prostate. In 2008, my PSA was .09; in 2013, 2.10. Do you think my PSA number will drop back down once the 10-mg dosage builds up in my system? I think the lipid profile will, but I’m worried the PSA won’t. — J.W. ANSWER: The studies that have looked at the effects of statin drugs like Crestor on PSA levels generally have shown a small (5 percent) decrease in PSA.

Jackets whip Pirates 27-7

By Ken Barhorst

kbarhorst@civitasmedia.com

Sidney went three-and-out on its first possession of the game Friday night at Sidney Memorial Stadium, and didn’t look good doing it.

But the second time the Jackets had the ball, they went 68 yards in 10 plays, and scored in strange fashion to set the tone for the rest of the evening. They went on to a 27-7 win over the West Carrollton Pirates to raise their mark to 2-1 heading into a big challenge next week at Springboro.

“We got better,” said Sidney head coach Adam Doenges. “We definitely played better this week. We weren’t perfect by any stretch but we were beat up and we had to have some guys step up. I told the kids, it’s a 59-guy effort, and we had some kids that had to play more.”

The Jackets lost four yards on their first possession, but after the defense forced a second straight punt by the Pirates, Sidney took over on its own 32.

Eric Barnes ran for 10 yards on the first play of the drive, and wound up with 23 yards on four carries during the series.

Sidney also benefitted from a 15-yard pass interference penalty, and got a big break on the score when Barnes, on first-andgoal at the one, lost the handle on the ball.

Quarterback Jordan Fox saw it happen and waded into the play, finally picking the ball off someone’s shoulder pads and falling across the goal line.

But it didn’t take the Pirates long to answer as they went down the field 69 yards in just five plays, the last being a 35-yard strike from Chad Vannest to Tyler Page, in stride down the left sideline. The point-after kick made it 7-6 Pirates.

However, the Jackets took control in the second quarter, scoring twice for 20-7 lead at the half.

The defense came up big when two plays after West Carrollton’s touchdown, the Pirates picked off a pass and set up shop at midfield. But Vannest was sacked for a 12-yard loss on first down and the Pirates eventually punted.

Sidney took over on its 30, and Fox was on the money, completing all six of his passes in a 70-yard, 9-play drive. He flipped to Scott Stewart for a 10-yard TD pass with 8:01 left in the half.

Fox then picked offf a Pirate pass, stopping a good West Carrollton drive and giving Sidney the ball on its own 36. He hit Darryl McNeal for nine on first down, then Barnes sprinted up the middle for 25 down to the Pirate 27.

Five plays later, Fox hit Anthony Yates from six yards out with 2:27 left for a twoTD margin at the half.

Tinora hands Loramie 1st loss Tony Arnold

FORT LORAMIE — After a pair of impressive wins to start the season, Loramie dropped a 35 to 21 verdict to a very solid D-VI Defiance Tinora team in non-league football action last night.

The Redskins, who fell behind early, were forced to play catch-up the rest of the way. A tough challenge against a team that likes to string together clock-melting drives with an offense that relies heavily on their rushing attack.

In the opening possession of the game Tinora used a few passes and plenty of ground-chewing runs as they marched across midfield and into the endzone. The Rams used over eight and a half minutes on the drive capped off by a Riley Nagel five yard touchdown run.

“I knew Tinora was a good team, they are solid, they play hard and I just don’t know if we were ready in the first half.

We came out in the second half and each team scored 21 points. We expected a close football game. They have a perfect offense against us – I think we only ran ten or fifteen plays in the first half. We want to play fast and play up-tempo but we just couldn’t get in sync in the first half,” said Loramie coach Matt SDN Photo | Luke Gronneberg Burgbacher.

the game. While the Loramie defense stopped the Rams on their next possession, the hosts were hurt by an untimely turnover. Derek Drews recorded an interception to set up a seven-yard touchdown run by Kurt Khale as the Rams constructed a 14-0 lead early in the second period.

Loramie started to move the chains on their next possession. The Redskins stretched a drive across midfield on a pass from quarterback Tyler Kazmaier into the hands of Craig Fullenkamp.

However, the Redskin drive stalled.

Kazmaier came up with a big play on the other side of the bar. The senior who plays defensive back as well recorded a big interception near the Fort Loramie logo at midfield.

On offense Kazmaier tossed a pair of consecutive passes to Grant Olberding and Fullenkamp as the first down markers moved. Momentum appeared to be on the side of the Skins when Fullenkamp grabbed another pass but Loramie failed to cash in. A pair of sacks halted the Redskin momentum spurt.

Loramie entered the locker room with a 14-0 deficit.

The Rams played add on with 5:24 remaining in the third on a 20-yard touchdown reception by Kurt Khale.

Rockets bounce back, whip Recovery 31-7 ANNA — Anna bounced back from a loss last week to start the Midwest Athletic Conference season off well, beating Fort Recovery Friday night at home, 31-7, in high school football action.

The win puts the Rockets at 1-0 in the MAC and 2-1 overall heading into a game Friday at 0-3 Versailles. Fort Recovery is now 0-1 and 2-1.

Anna held the Indians to just 32 yards rushing in the game, compared to 179 for the Rockets. Christian Williams had his third straight 100-plus yard game, rushing for 130 yards on 28 carries, including a 42-yard run to set up one of his two scores on the night.

Quarterback Josh Robinson made it a balanced night offensively, completing 7-for-14 passes for 172 yards, including a 53-yarder.

It took the Rockets a while to get untracked. On their first two series, they had just eight yards total, and with the Anna defense playing well, the first quarter was scoreless.

Anna’s third possession resulted in an 18-yard Shaun Wenrick field goal.

A 53-yard pass from Robinson to Ryan Counts put the ball on the two, but the Rockets had to settle for the three-pointer.

Fort Recovery came right back and drove 73 yards to score and take a 7-3 lead.

However, Anna struck back quickly, with Williams breaking a 42-yarder down to

the 25. Four plays later he scored from 14 yards out to give Anna the lead for good.

Anna got the ball back on a punt that was returned to the Recovery 42, and on the very first play, Robinson found Carter Bensman for a 42-yard touchdown and a 17-7 lead at the half.

The Rockets added two more scores in the second half, one in each quarter. Wes Showalter caught a three-yard scoring pass from Robinson to cap a 40-yard drive.

The in the final period, the Rockets drove 46 yards and took 12 plays to do it, with Williams scoring from six yards out.

The Anna defense held the Indians to just seven yards of total offense in the second half.

Loss From page 11 Following the kickoff, the Loramie offense exploded for a quick, steady, and efficient drive.

Things got going with a grab and go catch by Troy Benanzer that stretched the ball across the 50-yard line.

Thornton displayed some breakaway speed on a big 38-yard run across the left side of the field.

A couple of plays later Thornton bounced off a defender on a fouryard TD run. The Ram cushion was cut to 21-7.

But the ground-chomping Rams once again responded offensively.

Nagel broke loose for his second touchdown of the game for Tinora, this time scrambling away for a 54-yard touchdown run and the lead ballooned to 28-7.

“We did some good things and we are going to focus on some of the bad things but we have to focus on some of the good things too. In the third and fourth quarter we were able to get in our rhythm with the run and pass,” said Burgbacher.

“We’ve got to come back and we will. I know our kids are very disappointed but they are going to come back (Saturday) morning with the right attitude. I want them to think about it tonight but after tonight I want them to learn about it. We are going to work out tail off to improve.

NASCAR adds Gordon to Chase field JOLIET, Ill. (AP) — NASCAR added Jeff Gordon to the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship field Friday, a stunning and unprecedented step in the fallout from at least two attempts to manipulate the results at the season-ending race at Richmond last weekend.

NASCAR chairman Brian France said he had the authority to expand the field to 13 drivers for the first time since the format was implemented 10 years ago.

Front Row Motorsports asked for a deal from Penske Racing in the closing laps of at Richmond and then helped make sure Penske’s Joey Logano made the Chase field by having one of its drivers, David Gilliland, slow down, according to an Associated Press review of radio communications.

France said NASCAR could not determine there was a bargain between Front Row and Penske, but still believed the move was necessary to protect the “integrity” of the series.

He said both teams had been

placed on probation for the rest of the season.

“Too many things altered the event and gave an unfair disadvantage to Jeff and his team,” France said. “More than anything it’s just the right thing to do. There were just too many things that went on Saturday night.”

Gordon, the four-time champion, now joins Hendrick Motorsports teammates Jimmie Johnson, the five-time champion, Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Kasey Kahne in the Chase.

“Wow we just gained 1250 points!” Gordon tweeted shortly after the announcement. “Very appreciative of @ NASCAR consideration on this matter as well as fans overwhelming support.”

Owner Rick Hendrick agreed.

“I applaud NASCAR for taking the time for a full review,” he said. “We’re extremely proud to have all four cars in the Chase for the second consecutive season. Jeff and the No. 24 team earned this spot.”

Trading favors on and off the

NASCAR Chairman and CEO Brian France listens to questions during a news conference at Chicagoland Speedway Friday. NASCAR added Jeff Gordon to the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship field Friday.

track is common in NASCAR, but the series is already trying to rebound from the embarrassment of another team manipulating the outcome at Richmond. Earlier this week, NASCAR punished Michael Waltrip Racing and three of its

drivers for shenanigans over the final seven laps and pulled one of them, Martin Truex Jr., out of the Chase field in favor of Ryan Newman.

The Chase begins Sunday at Chicagoland Speedway.

NASCAR will hold a mandatory team and driver meeting Saturday to clarify “the rules of the road” moving forward.

France would not specify what won’t be tolerated going forward.

Newman was on his way to a victory at Richmond that would have given him the final spot in the Chase field when Clint Bowyer spun, bringing out a caution. That set in motion a chain of events that cost Newman the win and the Chase berth. It also cost Gordon a Chase berth and put Truex and Logano into the final two spots.

NASCAR reacted by replacing Truex with Newman in the Chase field and hitting MWR with a $300,000 fine. It suspended general manager Ty Norris indefinitely, while MWR teammates Bowyer, Truex and

Brian Vickers were docked 50 points each, and their crew chiefs were placed on probation through the end of the year.

Bowyer has denied the spin was deliberate. NASCAR could only prove one action — radio communication between Norris and Vickers in which a confused Vickers was told to pit as the field went green with three laps to go. The call was an effort to give Logano position on the track to pass Gordon in the standings and knock Gordon out of the Chase so that Truex could gain a wildcard berth.

Bowyer wasn’t really penalized — NASCAR said it couldn’t prove his spin was intentional — and his 50 points were deducted before seeding for the Chase. Gordon said he felt that Bowyer also deserved to be punished for giving up late track position, just as Vickers did, and he called NASCAR’s penalties “half right.”

And now he’s in the Chase with Bowyer — but only after the second controversy.

HOROSCOPE

BY FRANCES DRAKE

For Sunday, Sept. 15, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Conversations with partners and close friends might be upsetting today because somebody is too blunt.

(Hmmm, I wonder who that is.) Tact can be a virtue.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Your work routine will be interrupted today. Computer crashes, power outages, staff shortages and changes to technology will be likely reasons for this. Steady as she goes!

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) This is an accident-prone day for your kids; therefore, be vigilant. However, romance will hold some surprises.

Love at first sight is possible.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Your home routine might be interrupted today with surprise company knocking at the door or small appliances breaking down. (Oh, no!) Stock the fridge, and be ready for anything.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) This is an accident-prone day for your sign, so be careful. Pay attention to everything you say and do. Think before you speak or act.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Today you might find money or you might lose money. You also might break or lose something you own.

Therefore, keep your eyes open! Slow down and take it easy.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) You are a sign noted for your tact and diplomacy. But even you have exceptions. Be careful that you don't blurt something out that shocks or offends someone.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Surprising secrets might come out today. Something is going on behind the scenes that others do not expect.

This could include you. (Keep your eyes open, and be ready to act.)

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) You might meet a real character today, or someone in a group setting might say or do something that surprises you. Nothing will unfold as expected, because this is an unpredictable day.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Today you might feel rebellious about something. You might even want to quit your day job. I recommend that you give everything a sober second thought.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Travel plans could change today. On the other hand, you suddenly might have a chance to take a trip. Matters related to higher education, medicine and the law will be rescheduled or canceled.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Disputes about shared property and inheritances might take place today but in a surprising way. Perhaps somebody really blows his or her top?

Stay chill.

YOU BORN TODAY You are curious, and you love mysteries. You always explore your surroundings and your own world. Whatever you do, you want to earn good money. (Sometimes you even do this secretly.) You also want respect from your peers. You need to be free to do as you want and function in society. This year, an important choice must be made. Choose wisely.

Search continues for armed teen NEW BREMEN — Law enforcement officials are continuing to search for a juvenile who is facing possible charges in both Shelby and Auglaize counties.

Shelby County Sheriff’s Office Chief Deputy Jim Frye said Friday that a search for the youth is continuing and asked for the public’s help.

Frye noted the youth is considered armed and dangerous and should not be approached. Instead, anyone seeing him or his vehicle or who has information about him is asked to contact the Shelby County Sheriff’s Office by calling 911 or 937-498-1111, or the Auglaize County Sheriff’s Office at 419-739-6565.

Concern over the youth resulted in a precautionary lockdown Thursday at both the New Bremen and Minster schools.

The youth, from New Bremen, is believed to be involved in the theft of two guns from his grandparents, along with a pickup truck. The 17-year-old also reportedly stole cash from his parents.

He is described as 5 feet, 7 inches tall and weighing 180 pounds. He has blond hair and blue eyes. The stolen pickup is reportedly a maroon Chevy with a dent on the right passenger bumper. The Ohio license plate is ENM 9083.

Auglaize County Sheriff Allen Solomon said Friday afternoon that “we have no new updates on the young man.

No new threats. Nothing like that. We have not located him. Rumor has it he might not be in the area, but we have no confirmation on that. We are checking all leads.”

Minster Police Chief Randy Houseworth said there was no direct threat made to either school. But because the missing youth was believed to have

weapons in his possession, authorities felt it prudent to control access to the buildings.

Houseworth noted there were some issues at the Minster Schools with parents tying up phone lines after learning the school was on lockdown. He said the safety plan “worked pretty well.” He said the the One Call mass messaging system worked, with parents receiving a message that the schools were on a precautionary lockdown.

“Please don’t swamp us (police) with calls or the school,” Houseworth said, noting he understands parents were worried. “The children were safe.”

The announcement by One Call was as follows: “Minster Local Schools have been notified by law enforcement of a situation in a neighboring area community.

Because of the situation, we are taking precautionary measures and running on a level one controlled access lockdown.

This means all outside doors are locked.

Please know regular schedules are being followed within the school and dismissal will take place as normal. This is precautionary in nature only and there has been no direct threat toward Minster or Minster Schools. We wanted you to be informed.”

“We learned some things. This is the first time we’ve had a lockdown,” Houseworth said. “The kids were matter of fact about it. They went on doing their regular activities.”

Echoing Houseworth’s comments, Minster Schools Supt. Brenda Boeke urged parents to listen to the One Call message before calling the school. She said she understands parents were upset, but noted that in times of emergency, unnecessary phone calls “ties our hands.”

Sidney City Council seeks candidates to fill seat to be left vacant by Miller Sidney City Council is seeking candidates to fill an upcoming vacancy on council.

Council Clerk Joyce Goubeaux has been advised by the Shelby County Board of Elections that no petition has been filed by a qualified elector seeking election to succeed Thomas Miller upon his retirement as the 3rd Ward representative on council. Miller has served as the 3rd Ward councilman since December 1989.

He announced his retirement earlier this year.

The vacancy created by this circumstance will be filled in December by way of appointment by council, under the authority of the Sidney city charter. In accord with state statute, Miller “shall” continue in office until his replacement has been identified. The appointment will be for the four-year term, ending Nov. 30, 2017, less the additional days served in office by Miller.

Qualified electors who reside in the 3rd Ward who may be interested in being considered for appointment to this position should forward a written expression of interest to Goubeaux on or before the close of business on Oct. 30. The expression of interest should include contact information and background information.

Once the Board of Elections has certified the candidates, the candidates will be interviewed by council. Those interviews will take place at a special meeting on Dec. 2, following the election of the mayor, vice mayor, and the swearing in of the ward council members elected in November as well as the swearing in of the mayor and vice mayor. The newly selected 3rd Ward council member will be selected at the Dec. 9 meeting of council, and sworn in at a special meeting of council on Dec. 16. Miller’s term will statutorily end with the swearing in of his replacement.

Committee to discuss police procedures ANNA — The Village of Anna Safety and Refuse Committee will meet Tuesday to discuss, among other things, policies and procedures within the police department.

Anna Village Council President Richard Eshleman also provided an update on the status of Anna Police Chief Scott Evans, who is currently on 60 days unpaid suspension.

Eshleman said the Dayton Crime Lab is evaluating a video tape of a conversation between the Anna Police and Mike

Grillot. Evans allegedly videotaped a meeting with Grillot. Eshleman said that time for Evans to appeal his suspension is over and no appeal has been filed.

The Safety and Refuse Committee meeting will be held at 2:30 p.m. in the Village Hall. The meeting is open to the public, although one committee member suggested they will likely go into executive session.

The reason for a closed-door session was not released.

Posted From page A1 grants from the Straight A Fund.

Application documents are available from the Ohio Department of Education website.

Straight A Fund grants will provide seed money for the most creative and forward-thinking ideas coming from educators and their partners in the public and private sectors. The fund will allow local educators to pursue three goals: • Significant advancement in raising student achievement; • Significant advancement in reducing spending; and • Significant advancement in targeting more resources to the classroom.

The Straight A Fund also will promote lasting value by requiring that innovations be sustainable, so student achievement and operational effectiveness can continue after grant money is used.

Ohio’s biennial education budget dedicated $100 million in fiscal year 2014 and $150 million in fiscal year 2015 to provide grants to districts, schools, educational service centers, community schools, STEM schools, collegepreparatory boarding schools, education consortia (representing a partnership among city, local, exempted village districts, school buildings, community

schools, or STEM schools), institutions of higher education and private entities partnering with one or more of the entities listed above.

The nine-member governing board consists of the state superintendent of public instruction, four members appointed by the governor, two members appointed by the speaker of the House of Representatives and two members appointed by the president of the Senate. Current members include: State Superintendent Richard A. Ross; Representative Gerald Stebelton, Ohio House of Representatives; Colleen Grady, education policy advisor at the Ohio House of Representatives; Alex Fischer, president and CEO of the Columbus Partnership; Kristina Phillips-Schwartz, director of education initiatives at the Cincinnati Business Committee; and Superintendent John Scheu, Sidney City School District.

The board also is seeking grant scorers, education experts from around Ohio and the nation, to score the grant applications. The scored applications will then be evaluated by grant advisors.

Grant advisors, who have been selected because of their fiscal and/or education expertise, will make recommendations to governing board members who ultimately will award the grants.

Farm Safety

Sidney Daily News, Saturday, September 14, 2013

Farming: The most hazardous industry Patricia Ann Speelman pspeelman@civitasmedia.com

Farm safety: Don’t jump in the hay if you can’t see the pitchfork.

In actuality, farm safety is no laughing matter. Farm accidents account for several deaths each year in Ohio and countless injuries.

“We’re in the process of validating statistics for the last two years,” said Dr. Dee Jepsen, of Columbus, Ohio State University Extension agriculture safety specialist.

Between 2000 and 2010, the latest statistics available, 229 people died on Ohio farms. By far, the largest number of those, 95 equaling 41.5 percent, died from accidents involving tractors. The next highest amount, 24 or 10.5 percent, involved other equipment, machinery or wagons.

Agriculture is big business. It’s Ohio’s largest industry, contributing more than $94 billion to the state’s economy. This big business uses big machines.

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) advises that proper machine guarding and regular equipment maintenance according to manufacturer’s recommendations can help prevent accidents. So can using protective equipment, including seat belts on tractors, goggles, face shields, boots, hats, aprons, and safety gloves.

According to the National Safety Council, agriculture is the most hazardous industry in the nation.

“It’s like anything. It’s like driving down the road. You get complacent,” said Debbie Brown, agriculture and natural resources educator for OSU Extension Shelby County, in discussing how accidents happen on farms. “And part of it is, ‘It’s not going to happen to me.’” She added that equipment continues to get bigger and more complicated to use as technological advances improve farming techniques.

Brown has taught workshops on handling

livestock safely. She noted a multi-organization project, the farm accident rescue management school, that takes place every three to four years and was held in Shelby County in March 2012. But for the most part, educational opportunities having to do with best safety practices are designed to teach firefighters and emergency medical technicians, who may be city folk, how to respond to dire situations on farms.

During the last few years, emergency responders have recognized the magnitude of agriculture-related accidents and have sought out training in specific techniques to meet the challenges they pose.

In August, more than 50 emergency resonders and area grain personnel were trained in grain bin safety and rescue procedures at Trupointe Cooperative here.

The International Society for Agricultural Safety and Health (ISASH) was organized in 1945. For the last 68 years, it has been educating industry professionals through its conferences, seminars and academic papers. Its members, Jepsen among them, are people who study and track farm safety issues.

OSHA is the main federal agency charged with the enforcement of safety and health legislation. On its website, www.osha.gov, it lists alphabetically the following hazards that farm workers are regularly exposed to: chemicals and pesticides, cold, dust, electricity, grain bins, hand tools, highway traffic, lifting, livestock handling, machinery and equipment, manure pits, mud, noise, ponds, silos, slips and trips and falls, sun and heat, toxic gases, tractors and wells.

Risk factors also include age. Farm injuries happen most to children 15 and under and to adults 65 and older.

Area FFA and 4-H clubs address safety matters in their work with young farmers.

The local farm bureau plans safety days for school kids each spring. The Farm Safety for Just Kids organization has chapters nationwide. There are none in Shelby or Auglaize counties, but a Bradford-based chapter hosts a farm safety day annually.

Above, Jason Ahrns, 15, of Fort Loramie, arrives at Fort Loramie High School for FFA week in February driving a family tractor.

The modern farm vehicle includes safety features its earlier cousins lacked. Ahrns is the son of Amy and Vernon Ahrns.

Livestock handling is a safety risk factor on area farms.

Ripped coveralls create icon cut-off corners??

The sign was first designed as a triangle, but in field testing, it was found that the corners caught and tore the coveralls of those mounting the tractors. Remember, in the early ’60s, most of the tractors were “rearmounts.” That meant the driver had to crawl up from behind to get to the seat. Those triangle

corners were vicious!! So, they got cut off!

Special recognition goes to the mother of Ted Gastier in Erie County who had to patch Ted’s torn coveralls! Ted was a grad student and on the team that developed the SMV emblem … and the one who “fieldtested” it at his home farm over Thanksgiving!!

(SMV) emblems should be prominently displayed on the backs of tractors, wagons and combines using rural highways. They should not be faded or dirty and need to be placed in the line of the sight of vehicle operators. Most farm tractors and combines are equipped with lighting and markings that will make the equipment more visible. It should be used whenever the equipment is on the highway and must be maintained in good working condition in order to be effective. In addition, please make sure that equipment is parked in fields or drives whenever possible to reduce congestion.

For everyone’s safety, vehicle operators should be especially wary of farm

equipment that they could encounter at any time.

Lower natural light conditions, especially at dusk, are critical times on rural highways. When encountering farm equipment, vehicle operators should be prepared to stop to avoid a rear-end collision or to avoid a piece of machinery that turns left in front of them into a field or farmstead.

With a little extra patience by both, the farmer and the community, careful driving habits, and the use of emergency marking and lighting, many of the collisions between farm machinery and vehicles could be prevented during this fall’s corn and soybean harvest.

The following tips on how to improve farm safety are from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) fact sheet on farm safety as posted at www.osha.gov.

• Increase your awareness of farming hazards and make a conscious effort to prepare for emergency situations including fires, vehicle accidents, electrical shocks from equipment and wires and chemical exposures.

• Be especially alert to hazards that may affect childen and the elderly.

• Minimize hazards by carefully selecting the products you buy to ensure that you provide good tools and equipment.

• Always use seat belts when operating tractors, and establish and maintain good housekeeping practices.

• Read and follow instructions in equipment operator’s manuals and on product labels.

• Inspect equipment routinely for problems that may cause accidents.

• Discuss safety hazards and emergency procedures with your workers.

• Install approved rollover protective structures, protective enclosures orprotective frames on tractors.

• Make sure that guards on farm equipment are replaced after maintenance.

• Review and follow instructions in material safety data sheets and on labels that come with chemical products and communicate information on these hazards to your workers.

• Take precautions to prevent entrapment and suffocation caused by unstable surfaces of grain storage bins, silos or hoppers. Never “walk the grain.”

• Be aware that methane gas, carbon dioxide, ammonia and hydrogen sulfide can form in unventilated grain silos and manure pits and can suffocate or poison workers or explode.

• Take advantage of safety equipment, such as bypass starter covers, power take-off master shields and slow-moving vehicle emblems.
