Frederic J. Frommer WASHINGTON (AP) — A federal appeals court is considering whether for-profit businesses can be exempted from a contraceptive mandate in the health care law because of the owners’ religious views. The law already exempts houses of worship from the requirement, but two brothers who own businesses in Ohio argue they shouldn’t have to comply. The brothers, Francis and Philip M. Gilardi, say the requirement would force them to violate their Roman Catholic religious beliefs and moral val-

ues by providing contraceptives such as the Plan B pill for their employees. At a hearing on Tuesday, Judge Harry T. Edwards was skeptical of the Gilardis’ argument. He told their lawyer, Francis Manion, that sometimes religious freedom has to yield to the greater good. Edwards stressed that the Giraldis’ companies, Freshway Foods and Freshway Logistics of Sidney, Ohio, are not religious groups. “I don’t know see how the government doesn’t prevail,� said Edwards, who was appointed by President Jimmy Carter.

The other two judges on the panel didn’t indicate how they are leaning in the argument, but they had more pointed questions for Justice Department lawyer Alisa Klein than they did for Manion. Judge Janice Rogers Brown, an appointee of President George W. Bush, asked Klein whether the government is asking the Giraldis to give up their constitutional rights. Klein responded that the Giraldis weren’t making a constitutional claim, but rather seeking an injunction under the Religious Freedom Restoration Act. Brown asked Klein whether she’s saying that for religiously

observant owners of corporations there is no right to free exercise of religion. “There is no substantial burden on shareholders,� Klein responded, adding that it is the corporation that has to meet the obligation. In dismissing the Giraldis’ bid for an injunction, trial court Judge Emmet G. Sullivan had rejected their contention that requiring the companies to comply with the contraceptive mandate was the same as requiring the Giraldis themselves to do so. “The Freshway Corporations

Local drive-in doesn’t win projector The Sidney Auto-Vue Drive-In was not among the winners of digital projection equipment in a recent online contest hosted by Honda. Area residents were asked to vote for their favorite drive-ins from among 160 nationwide to registered to participate in the competition. The top five vote-getters were to be awarded the expensive projectors. At the last minute, Honda added another four prizes, which

were announced Monday. The additional four theaters who won them are in Elizabethton, Tenn., Ocala, Fla., Cadet, Mo., and Monetta, S.C. Movie theaters of all kinds will have to install digital equipment by the end of the year in order to project movies, which will no longer be provided on film. Those who cannot afford to do so will have to close. The local drive-in’s

ANNA — Officials of the Anna Local Schools are working with federal, state and local law enforcement authorities to investigate a threat made at the school late last week, stating that a bomb will detonate at the high school on Sept. 26. Anna’s Acting Police Chief Lynn Marsee said agencies involved in the probe include the State Fire Marshal’s office, U.S. Marshals, the Ohio State Highway Patrol, Shelby County Sheriff’s Office, Botkins Police Department and the Anna Fire Department. The bomb threat was found at the high school Thursday and parents were notified by the One Call Now messaging service on Friday. Superintendent Andy Bixler released

contents of the One Call message as follows: “A bomb threat written on a note was found in the boys’ restroom in the high school across from the multi-purpose room. The threat specifically named the date September 26. We are working with law enforcement officers to ensure safety on this and every day. The bomb squad, including bomb sniffing dogs, has been scheduled to search our entire facilities, including both buildings and grounds.� “The safety of our students and staff is our priority. Additional security measures will be in place in the upcoming week. Students should expect to be subject to searches, restrictions in travel and other precautionary measures.

The Shelby County unemployment rate fell in August, from 6.0 percent in July to 5.8 in August, according to estimates released by the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services Bureau of Labor Market Information. The estimated number of people employed in the county fell slightly from 24,000 in July to 23,900 in August, but the estimated size of the labor pool fell by more, from 25,600 in July to 25,400 in August,

accounting for the lower overall unemployment rate. Approximately 1,500 members of the labor force were considered unemployed in August, which was the same as July’s estimate. Unemployment in August 2012 was 6.5 percent in Shelby County. County numbers are not seasonally adjusted. The statewide unemployment rate for August was 6.9 percent, down from the July estimate of 7.3 percent, not

seasonally adjusted. The seasonally adjusted state unemployment rate for August was 7.3, up slightly from July’s 7.2 percent. Last year, the seasonally adjusted unemployment rate for Ohio in August was 7.2 percent. Nationwide, the seasonally adjusted rate of unemployment for August was 7.3 percent, down a bit from July’s 7.4 percent. Seasonally adjusted unemployment nationwide in August 2012 was 8.1 percent.

Among the state’s 88 counties, August 2013 unemployment rates ranged from a low of 4.3 percent in Mercer County to a high of 12 percent in Pike County. Rates declined in 86 of the 88 counties statewide. The comparable rate for Ohio was 6.9 percent in August. Six counties had unemployment rates at or below 5.5 percent in August.

King also recognized Connor Bowers, a Sidney High School student and photographer. Bowers, who won best of show at the Ohio State Fair, took photos of the Gladuras’ property to be used in the presentation. King presented Bowers with a gift certificate from the Sidney-Shelby County Chamber of Commerce. David Miller, Western Region liaison for State Auditor David Yost, attended the meeting to present the Auditor of State Award of Distinction to city Finance Officer Ginger Adams and her department. “Good, accurate records are the foundation for good government,” he said. City Manager Mark Cundiff said he also appreciated the Finance Department’s work. He said the fact that the city was able to maintain “a AA bond rating” throughout the economic downturn “is a credit to them.” He said it was “a good team effort.” In other financial matters,

council passed a resolution accepting the city’s five-year financial plan. Council, which has reviewed the plan at previous meetings, uses it to prioritize spending for capital improvements, services and staffing. The plan will be incorporated into the 2014 budget, which council will discuss in November. Council also: • Introduced an ordinance to assess the cost of weed cutting or removal of litter or junk from a number of properties. Fortysix properties will be assessed a total of $7,338.24 for weed cutting and another 17 properties will be assessed $3,253.26 for junk removal. • Passed resolutions reappointing Robert Baird to a fouryear term on the Income Tax Board of Appeals and James Daniel to a five-year term on the Sidney Compensation Commission. The board hears appeals of the decisions of the tax administrator.

under reconstruction is scheduled to be paved this week. The total project is expected to be done by Oct. 1. • Heard Vice Mayor Mardie Milligan ask about the lack of a handicap parking space near The Bridge restaurant on Poplar Street. She thought there used to be such a space at one time. Cundiff said the city staff would research the matter. • Heard Councilman Tom Miller ask about feedback from the Rebel Run Rod & Custom Nationals car show held at the Shelby County Fairgrounds last weekend. Police Chief William Balling said his officers found “everybody was really cooperative and friendly” at the event. The show is expected to return here next year. • Learned from Cundiff that plantings will be put in soon at the Interstate 75/Ohio 47 interchange. An Ohio Department of Transportation grant paid for the work. • Went into executive session to discuss appointment of a public official and bargaining sessions with public employees.

Portraits of locals blanket Cincinnati-area spaces

CINCINNATI (AP) — Cincinnati has joined a global art project, blanketing hundreds of postersized portraits of area residents in public spaces. In the days leading up to Tuesday’s culmination of the project, area residents have lined up at various locations to get their photo taken in a truck. The photos were printed seconds later on poster-sized paper. The black-and-white portraits have been glued to a popular farmers market, a general store in Rabbit Hash, Ky., and most visibly, Fountain Square in the heart of downtown Cincinnati. The pictures began carpeting the granite walkways of the square on Monday, and the project finishes up on Tuesday. The art project, known

project was to “rehumanize” the city, allowing residents to walk on the portraits in Fountain Square as a metaphor for the city’s foundation. Kelly Sells, 46, took her two teenage daughters to Fountain Square on Monday to have their portraits added to the project and said she particularly liked that all the portraits are black and white, obscuring race. “Our commonality is going to be what holds us together, not our differences,” said Sells, who lives in Covington, Ky., just across the Ohio River from Cincinnati. “People can look different but we’re all AP Photo | Al Behrman basically the same, no mat- Josh Habig (left) and Kate Elliott hold facing poster sized portraits of themselves kissing as ter where you are in the part of a world wide art project called Inside Out, Monday on Fountain Square in Cincinnati.

as Inside Out, spans the world from Mexico to South Africa and Russia to Iran, and has included the portraits of more than 120,000 people. The Paris-born artist who had the idea for the global project said that he has largely been uninvolved in the Cincinnati effort but that each city makes the art its own, and each one reflects a given community in a unique way. The artist, who declined to provide his full name, goes only by his initials of JR, in part to let his art speak for itself. An exhibition of his work opened Friday at Cincinnati’s Contemporary Arts Center to coincide with the Inside Out project. Steven Matijcio, curator of the museum, said the idea behind Cincinnati’s

40 AGs urge tight regulation of e-cigarettes Mark Pratt Associated Press

BOSTON (AP) — Forty attorneys general sent a letter to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration on Tuesday urging the agency to meet its own deadline and regulate electronic cigarettes in the same way it regulates tobacco products. The letter, co-sponsored by Massachusetts Attorney Martha Coakley and Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine, says e-cigarettes are being marketed to children through cartoon-like advertising characters and by offering fruit and candy flavors, much

like cigarettes were once marketed to hook new smokers. At the same time, e-cigarettes are becoming more affordable and more widely available as the use of regular cigarettes decline as they become more expensive and less socially acceptable. “Unlike traditional tobacco products, there are no federal age restrictions that would prevent children from obtaining e-cigarettes, nor are there any advertising restrictions,” DeWine wrote. Electronic cigarettes are metal or plastic battery-powered devices resembling traditional cigarettes that heat a liquid nicotine solution, creating vapor that users inhale. Users get nicotine without

the chemicals, tar or odor of regular cigarettes. E-cigarettes are being advertised during prime-time television hours at a time when many children are watching, according to the letter, which has led a surge in sales and use. The health effects of e-cigarettes have not been adequately studied and the ingredients are not regulated, the letter said. “People, especially kids, are being led to believe that e-cigarettes are a safe alternative, but they are highly addictive and can deliver strong doses of nicotine,” Coakley said. Citing a National Youth Tobacco

Surveys conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the attorneys generals said 1.8 million middle and high school students said they had tried e-cigarettes in 2012, mirroring increases in the use of the product by adults. The letter urges the FDA to meet an Oct. 31 deadline to issue proposed regulations that will address the advertising, ingredients and sale to minors of e-cigarettes. The decision has been delayed in the past. Tom Kiklas, co-founder and chief financial officer of the industry group, the Tobacco Vapor Electronic Cigarette Association, agrees that e-cigarettes should be regulated as tobacco products.

Ohio moves condemned inmate death house Associated Press

COLUMBUS (AP) — A white gunman sentenced to die for killing a black man and a police officer during a 1994 suburban Cleveland shooting rampage was moved to the state’s death house on Tuesday, a day ahead of his scheduled execution. Harry Mitts Jr., 61,

arrived at the Southern Ohio Correctional Facility in Lucasville around 10:30 a.m., a prisons spokeswoman said. He was placed under constant surveillance Sept. 18, well ahead of the usual 72-hour suicide watch window, in the wake of two high-profile inmate suicides. The lethal injection scheduled for him will be the last before the

state’s supply of its execution drug expires. Mitts received the death penalty in the killings of a neighbor’s boyfriend, John Bryant, and a Garfield Heights police sergeant, Dennis Glivar. During an outburst at an apartment, Mitts uttered racial slurs before shooting Bryant, who was black. He then fired on two police officers responding to the scene, killing Glivar, who was white, and wounding the other officer. Attorney Jeff Kelleher said Mitts has taken responsibility for his actions. “He’s been completely forthright and repentant about his crimes, has never denied he did them, has never tried to

soften them or explain them away,” Kelleher said. “He’s been, in every sense of the word, fully accepting of his deeds. That’s not an issue.” Prosecutors argued that Mitts’ attack was among the worst Ohio has seen, resulting in two deaths, multiple shootings and additional death threats. The Ohio Parole Board, in its unanimous recommendation against clemency, advice followed by Republican Gov. John Kasich, said Mitts “exhibited complete disregard for the lives of officers and innocent bystanders at the scene.” “That further tragedy did not result from the bedlam that Mitts created on August 14, 1994, is in many respects a miracle,” its report said. With clemency denied and his legal appeals exhausted, Mitts has

been concentrating on spiritual matters on what are expected to be his final days, Kelleher said. “He is more concerned with the higher power right now than what those like myself or the state might or might not do,” Kelleher said. Prisons spokeswoman JoEllen Smith said Mitts was calm and cooperative on Tuesday. The special meal he requested for Tuesday evening included steak with sautéed mushrooms, Caesar salad with ranch dressing, Italian bread, french fries, peach pie, butter pecan ice cream and Dr Pepper. After Kasich denied Mitts mercy, Kelleher expressed disappointment that the state would insist on going ahead with Mitts’ execution “in the face of botched executions, a spate of suicides

and the public’s decreasing support for the death penalty.” Last month, death row inmate Billy Slagle killed himself just a few days before his scheduled execution. Then on Sept. 3, Cleveland kidnapper Ariel Castro, the state’s most notorious inmate at the time, committed suicide as well. Circumstances surrounding the deaths are being scrutinized, and four guards have been placed on paid leave while the state investigates. With the supply of the state’s execution drug, the powerful sedative pentobarbital, expiring, the Department of Rehabilitation and Correction has said it expects to announce its new execution method by Oct. 4.

CLEVELAND (AP) — A judge says the name of a girl fathered by a Cleveland man who held her mother captive for a decade will be deleted from the public court record.

The decision by Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Judge Michael Russo involves the daughter of kidnapper Ariel Castro and one of his three victims, who gave birth on Christmas 2006. The Plain Dealer reports the prosecutor asked to have the child’s name deleted from court records to protect her privacy.

The child’s mother, Amanda Berry, kicked out the door of Castro’s house in May and yelled for help, freeing herself, the 6-year-old girl and two other women. DNA evidence confirmed that Castro was the girl’s father. The 53-year-old Castro pleaded guilty in July. He committed suicide in prison Sept. 3.

Nation/World Today in History The Associated Press

Today is Wednesday, Sept. 25, the 268th day of 2013. There are 97 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Sept. 25, 1789, the first United States Congress adopted 12 amendments to the Constitution and sent them to the states for ratification. Ten of the amendments became the Bill of Rights. On this date: In 1513, Spanish explorer Vasco Nunez de Balboa crossed the Isthmus of Panama and sighted the Pacific Ocean. In 1690, one of the earliest American newspapers, Publick Occurrences, published its first — and last — edition in Boston. In 1775, American Revolutionary War hero Ethan Allen was captured by the British as he led an attack on Montreal. Allen was released by the British in 1778. In 1904, a New York City police officer ordered a female automobile passenger on Fifth Avenue to stop smoking a cigarette. A male companion was arrested and later fined $2 for “abusing” the officer. In 1911, ground was broken for Boston’s Fenway Park. In 1919, President Woodrow Wilson collapsed after a speech in Pueblo, Colo., during a national speaking tour in support of the Treaty of Versailles. In 1932, the Spanish region of Catalonia received a Charter of Autonomy. However, the charter was revoked by Francisco Franco at the end of the Spanish Civil War. In 1957, nine black students who’d been forced to withdraw from Central High School in Little Rock, Ark., because of unruly white crowds were escorted to class by members of the U.S. Army’s 101st Airborne Division. In 1962, Sonny Liston knocked out Floyd Patterson in Round 1 to win the world heavyweight title at Comiskey Park in Chicago. “The Longest Day,” 20th Century Fox’s epic recreation of the D-Day invasion, based on the book by Cornelius Ryan, had its world premiere in France.

Bachelor gorilla doesn’t get a rose DALLAS (AP) - There will be no rose ceremony for a 430-pound bachelor gorilla that failed to form any meaningful relationships with fellow apes during an 18-year stay at the Dallas Zoo. Patrick, the 23-year-old Western lowland gorilla known for being gregarious with zoo staff and the public, while being ambivalent toward his female counterparts, has been handed his walking papers. The silverback will be transferred to the Riverbanks Zoo and Garden in Columbia, S.C. where he’ll be allowed more solitude, according to a statement issued Monday by the Dallas Zoo. “It’s become clear that he prefers to live a solitary life,” said Dr. Lynn Kramer, head veterinarian at the Dallas Zoo. “This move will allow Patrick to continue to thrive while creating an opportunity for our four remaining males to form a cohesive bachelor group.” Patrick was born at the Bronx Zoo in New York City in April 1990, but maternal neglect forced him to be moved to the Toronto Zoo where he was hand-raised with another male his own age. Both gorillas arrived in Dallas at age 5 and were integrated into a small troop of one silverback and two females, before being removed to form a bachelor group together. Despite his affability with humans and his popularity in zoo presentations about gorillas, zoo officials said Patrick’s reaction toward female apes has ranged from indifference to aggression.

Kenyan president: Terrorists defeated David Rising and Tom Odula Associated Press

NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) — Kenya’s president proclaimed victory Tuesday over the terrorists who stormed a Nairobi mall, saying security forces had “ashamed and defeated our attackers” following a bloody four-day siege in which dozens of civilians were killed. President Uhuru Kenyatta said the dead included 61 civilians whose bodies have been recovered so far and six security forces, while some 175 were injured, including 62 who remain hospitalized. Three floors of the mall collapsed and several bodies were trapped in the rubble, said Kenyatta. His office later said a terrorist’s body was among those in the debris. Five other extremists were killed by gunfire and another 11 other suspects had been arrested, he said; authorities had previously announced the arrest of seven at the airport and three elsewhere.

“These cowards will meet justice as well their accomplices and patrons, wherever they are,” Kenyatta said, in a televised address to the nation. Kenyatta, 51, has visited wounded survivors in hospital and made other emotion-filled speeches about the terrorist attack, which has been the harshest test of his leadership since he became president in April. “Fellow Kenyans, we have been badly hurt and feel great pain and loss. But we have been brave, united and strong,” said Kenyatta, the son of the country’s founding president, Jomo Kenyatta. “Kenya has stared down evil and triumphed.” Kenyatta’s statesman-like demeanor over the terror crisis is at odds with the charges he faces at the International Criminal Court for crimes against humanity in which he is alleged to have incited violence following Kenya’s 2007 elections. Kenyatta declared three days of national mourning

starting Wednesday. At the Westgate mall, there were no immediate signs of the Kenyan Security forces closing their operation. Two Kenyan soldiers who had recently been inside the mall told The Associated Press shortly before the president spoke that the operation was effectively finished, but they said security forces

were still combing the facility and had not definitively cleared all the rooms inside. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were under orders not to speak to the media. Kenyan forces had for two days said they were in the “final phase” of the operation, only to be battled back by the militants inside the building.

Reunited Obama, Bill Clinton tout health care law Darlene Superville Associated Press

NEW YORK (AP) — President Barack Obama and former President Bill Clinton took to the same stage Tuesday to promote the new health care law that Obama championed after Clinton’s own efforts to reform health care years earlier fell flat. Joining forces under dimmed lights in a hotel ballroom in New York, Obama and Clinton laid out the law’s benefits and its connection to the economy while dispelling what they called disinformation about its downsides. Clinton, acting as host, lobbed the questions; Obama answered with the eagerness of a guest on a daytime TV talk show. It was a pair of presidents in dark suits, reclining on comfy, white chairs

as they reflected on the effort that went in to passing the sweeping law, and the intense challenges facing its implementation. New exchanges where Americans can buy health insurance — a centerpiece of the law — open for enrollment on Oct. 1. “I don’t have pride of authorship for this thing, I just want the thing to work,” Obama said. He added that he was confident Americans will be swayed by its advantages even though polls show they’re deeply wary of the law. “The devil you know is always better than the devil you don’t know.” Clinton felt free to point out some of the drawbacks in the law’s implementation, while making clear that Obama was not the one to blame. For example, he noted that the Supreme Court said states could not

be forced to take Medicaid money to finance the expansion of health coverage. “That’s going to lead to a cruel result, and there’s nothing the president can do, and it’s not his fault. That’s what the Supreme Court said,” Clinton said. The hourlong appearance, sponsored by the former president’s foundation known as the Clinton Global Initiative, marks the start of a concerted campaign by the Obama administration and its allies to inform consumers about their options under the law. It also took place around the 20th anniversary of Clinton’s address to a joint session of Congress calling for an overhaul of the health care system. That effort, by Clinton and former first lady Hillary Rodman Clinton, was unsuccessful.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Tea party conservative Sen. Ted Cruz on Tuesday vowed to speak in opposition to President Barack Obama’s health care law until he’s “no longer able to stand,” even though fellow Republicans urged him to back down from his filibuster for fear of a possible government shutdown in a week. “This grand experiment is simply not working,” the Texas freshman told a largely empty chamber of the president’s signature domestic issue. “It is time to make D.C. listen.” Egged on by conservative groups, the potential 2016 presidential candidate excoriated Republicans and Democrats in his criticism of the 3-year-old health care law and Congress’ unwillingness to gut the law. Cruz supports the House-passed bill that would avert a government shutdown and defund Obamacare, as do many Republicans. However, they lack the votes to stop Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., from moving ahead on the measure, stripping the health care provision and sending the spending bill back to the House. That didn’t stop Cruz’ quixotic filibuster. Standing on the Senate floor, with conservative Sen. Mike Lee of Utah nearby, Cruz talked about the American revolution, the Washington establishment, his Cuban-born father and the impact of the health care law. As his talkathon entered its fourth hour, a few senators joined Cruz on the Senate floor, including Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky and Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida, both of whom have been mentioned as possible presidential candidates. Cruz yielded to them for questions but did not give up his time controlling the debate. “It is my hope, my fervent hope, that the voices of dissension within the Republican conference will stop firing at each other and start firing” at the target of the health care law, Cruz said, a clear acknowledgment of the opposition he faced. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., and the GOP’s No. 2, Sen. John Cornyn of Texas, opposed Cruz’ tactic, and numerous Republicans stood with their leadership rather than Cruz. Sen. John Thune, the third-ranking Republican, declined to state his position.

Miss Piggy joins Kermit at Smithsonian Brett Zongker Associated Press

WASHINGTON (AP) — Miss Piggy is finally joining her love, Kermit the Frog, in the Smithsonian Institution’s collection of Jim Henson’s Muppets, and Bert and Ernie will have a place in history, too. Henson’s family, including his daughter, Cheryl Henson, donated more than 20 puppets and props Tuesday to the National Museum of American History to accompany the earlier donations of Kermit, Oscar the Grouch and early Henson creations. The newest donation includes Miss Piggy and some of her co-stars from “The Muppet Show,” including Fozzie Bear, Rowlf the pianoplaying dog, Scooter and the Swedish Chef. Puppets from “Sesame Street” joining the museum collection include Bert and Ernie, Elmo, Cookie Monster, Grover and Count Von Count, among others. Many of the puppets are among the first constructions of the characters. Smithsonian magazine welcomed Miss Piggy, dressed in a silver evening gown and holding a red rose, with a photo shoot. The museum allowed her to pose with Dorothy’s

ruby slippers from “The Wizard of Oz” and to wear the real 45-carat Hope Diamond from the National Museum of Natural History. “She was very well-behaved, considering she wanted to take it home with her,” said Bonnie Erickson, who created the Miss Piggy puppet with Henson and now is executive director of the Jim Henson Legacy foundation. The gift was made on what would have been Henson’s 77th birthday and shortly after his wife, Jane Henson, died in April.

Since she was diagnosed with cancer four years ago, Jane Henson spent years planning to find permanent homes for each puppet character, Cheryl Henson said. Other puppets will be donated to the Museum of the Moving Image in Astoria, N.Y., and to the Center for Puppetry Arts in Atlanta. “Many of these puppets have been in boxes for years. They’ve been tucked away in boxes, and we don’t want them to stay in boxes. We want people to see them and to appreciate them,” Cheryl Henson said.

“There’s something about puppets. They’re not animated. … They are actual, physical things.” Miss Piggy will go on display in March 2014 in the Smithsonian’s “American Stories” exhibit. The original Kermit and Cookie Monster will go on view in November in a special display case, and a puppetry exhibit in early 2014 will likely feature Bert and Ernie, among others, curators said. The Hensons have a longtime connection to Washington. Jim and Jane Henson met as students at the nearby University of Maryland and became performing partners before they married. They made early television commercials with their puppets and created a local TV show, “Sam and Friends,” which included the first Kermit creation. The original Kermit, made from an old coat and pingpong balls for eyes, was donated to the Smithsonian in 2010, along with other characters from “Sam and Friends.” The newest donation includes Boober Fraggle, Red Fraggle and Travelling Matt from the 1980s show “Fraggle Rock.” The Hensons also donated a 1957 puppet called Wilkins that was made for Wilkins Coffee commercials.

Sidney Daily News, Wednesday, September 25, 2013

Are you prepared? What are you doing to be prepared? This September celebrates the ninth National Preparedness Month, urging citizens to prepare themselves and their families for the unexpected. This year’s theme “You Can Be a Hero” emphasizes that preparedness is an individual responsibility. The better prepared you are, the more likely you can save a life. There are many benefits of preparedness: • Preparedness can help reduce fear or anxiety. It can also lessen the losses that accompany disasters. • You will know what to do. Know how to protect yourself from the elements, where to seek shelter, or be ready to evacuate in the event of a natural or man-made disaster. • You will know what you need. You may need to be self-

sufficient and provide your own food, water, shelter, first aid, and sanitation for at least three days. Be Informed: Think about the types of severe weather events that have occurred in Shelby County. Have you experienced flooding? Damages from high winds? Ever been snow-bound? Do you live close to high traffic areas? Be aware of what and how hazards could affect you. This will help to know what to prepare for. Make a Plan: We lead busy lives and at times our families are scattered throughout the day. Be sure to stay connected and know how to contact family members in different situations. Make sure your children know who to call and where to meet. Consider texting in case voice communications are not available. Get a Kit: Although water, non-perishable foods, flashlights and

batteries are emergency basics, family needs vary. Whether it’s children, babies, aging adults, functional, medical or dietary needs, you will want to have supplies to meet those needs for at least three days or longer. And don’t forget about seasonal changes. What you pack in the winter won’t do in the summer! Children grow! Be sure to keep the right sized clothing packed for the kids. Get the kids involved in your preparations. Disasters affect everyone and everyone can help! The American Red Cross and FEMA offer many publications for you, your family, school, and workplace to help you prepare and be ready: • Are You Ready? An In-depth Guide to Citizen Preparedness (IS-22) is FEMA’s most comprehensive

source on individual, family and community preparedness. • Ready Business will assist businesses in developing a preparedness program by providing tools to create a plan that addresses the impact of many hazards. Visit http://www. ready.gov/business • American Red Cross Ready Rating program: If an emergency strikes, will your business or school be ready? The time to prepare is now. Visit www.readyrating. org. • Be prepared everywhere: home and family, school and students, workplace and employees. Search the American Red Cross disaster and safety library for checklists and guides — www.redcross.org/prepare/dis astersafety-library. Incorporate technology to your emergency plans by

downloading these apps to your smartphone: • Resolve 2B Ready 2013 Toolkit for tips and actions you can take such as using a Family Emergency Plan to record your plans. www.ready.gov/resolve. • Check out these apps from the American Red Cross: Volunteer app, Tornado app, Shelter Finder app, First Aid app, and Earthquake app. www. redcross.org/ prepare/mobileapps Get involved: After preparing yourself and family, get involved in helping your neighborhood and community prepare. Talk to your neighbors about ways to work together. Volunteers are an essential part of stronger and safer communities.

Board discusses state ranking, lease and reading program FORT LORAMIE — Fort Loramie Local Schools Board of Education heard about the school’s state performance ranking, approved an amendment to a ground lease agreement, and heard about a new reading program for Fort Loramie students during recent meetings. Superintendent Daniel Holland told board members that the school district’s performance ranking is 15th out of 862 school districts in the state. The board approved a resolution authorizing amendments to a ground lease agreement and related documents that will extend the duration of the leasepurchasing financing of a school building and other related matters. It was noted that this is an approximation of the resolution from Peck, Shaffer and Williams reauthorizing the COPS financing for the school construction project. The financing is supported by the permanent improvement portion of the tax issue approved by voters. As of 2007, the original issued amount was $1,615,000. It will be reissued for $715,000. The board heard a report regarding Erin McGaharan, the new Fort Loramie reading and writing specialist, implementing the Code X reading program through Scholastic. Scholastic Books recently informed Fort Loramie Schools that it is one of only a few schools

Society hears reports FORT LORAMIE — The Loramie Historical Association heard the following reports during its September meeting: There were more than 90 visitors to the museum this summer. Besides the permanent collection, they saw a display of photos relating to the 1913 flood and a display of vintage cookbooks. The 108-inch by 90-inch quilt made by local women for the benefit of the Fort Loramie Rescue Squad in 1976 was spread out on tables for everyone to see. At the upcoming German Heritage Days, it was decided to show photos pertaining to the 1913 flood and of St. Michael’s Church, which is 175 years old this year. Plans are being made for the annual Williamsburg Christmas Dinners. This will be the 40th year for the organization’s only

fundraising event. The group anticipates more than 400 diners over four days. A call for volunteers was presented. Reservations can be made by calling 295-2659. Representatives of the Fort Loramie Historical Association, the Minster Historical Society and the Lake Loramie Heritage Museum met recently to plan a joint event for next spring. Some ideas were to have a photo and artifact display and panel of long-time lake dwellers telling stories. This will probably be held during the boat and motor show the lake museum has been holding. A plaque for the bell tower in the back yard has been made and donated by Tom Barhorst of Vivid Mfg. Group and Studio Eleven Promotional Products and will soon be installed.

On Oct. 8, Fort Loramie High School’s football coach, Matt Burgbacher, will update the members with information concerning the team. All meetings are held at Al’s Place in Fort Loramie at noon.

dancing of any kind. One of my good friends attends some of the dances and has asked me to join him. I told him that I’m not allowed to dance. He then said that he doesn’t dance either; instead, he hangs around talking to kids about the game and school stuff. I’d really like to go to one to see what it is all about, but I know my parents would say no. If the gathering was called an after-game hangout, I probably would be allowed to attend. Any help would be nice! — Albert, Phoenix, Ariz. ALBERT: I agree that very few students actually dance at after-game campus “dances.”

Your friend was right. These dances turn out to be supervised “gab sessions.” Have your parents ask for permission to observe one of these events for a few minutes so they can evaluate whether or not it’s proper for you to attend. This should not cause a problem. Most principals will allow parents to have a peek at school functions. Dr. Robert Wallace welcomes questions from readers.

are engaged in purely commercial conduct and do not exercise religion” under the applicable law, Sullivan wrote. In court papers, the Giraldis argued that corporations can and often do engage in “quintessentially religious acts such as tithing, donating money to charities, and committing to act in accordance with the teachings of a religious faith,” as they contended their businesses do. They say they face more than $14.4 million in annual penalties if they don’t comply with the contraceptive mandate. A separate appeals court panel has barred the government from enforcing the mandate against the Giraldis while they appeal their case. The case comes as other appeals court circuits have issued conflicting rulings in similar cases. The Obama administration has asked the U.S. Supreme Court to take up

a case involving the Hobby Lobby craft store chain and its sister company, Mardel Christian bookstore. The Oklahoma businesses won a temporary exemption from having to cover morning-after pills, similar emergency birth control methods and intrauterine devices, after the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the companies were likely to prevail in the case. But the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled against the Mennonite owners of a Pennsylvania furniture manufacturing company who claimed that their constitutional rights were violated by the contraceptive requirement. And the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals also ruled in favor of the administration in another case involving corporations. ____ Follow Fred Frommer on Twitter: http://twitter.com/ ffrommer

Any information that helps in determining the person or persons responsible for this threat is greatly appreciated.” “The schools were not evacuated or (students) sent home early,” Bixler said, noting, “we immediately began investigating.” “The trained canine unit from the State Fire Marshal’s office has made a thorough inspection of our buildings and determined them to be free of any explosive materials or devices. We will have the buildings, grounds and buses inspected again prior to school on Thursday,” Bixler stated.

Marsee said law enforcement officials will be back at Anna Local Schools on Thursday. But, she added, “we will have heightened security throughout the week….making sure nothing is going on.” “We are taking this very seriously. We will be working hard to find the individual (who left the bomb threat) and we will be holding them accountable for their actions,” Marsee said, noting it would be “fantastic” if the person who left the threat would step forward. Marsee has a message for local students. “It (threat) is definitely a serious thing. We do not think it is funny.

Any kind of situation like this will be taken as a serious threat and it will be handled accordingly.” Marsee said that tips concerning the threat, even anonymous ones, may be called in to her office at 394-8381 or the Sheriff ’s Office at 498-1111 for nonemergency or 9-1-1 if it is an emergency. Marsee wanted to thank law enforcement officials assisting in the investigation, noting she “greatly appreciate(s) all the help everybody’s done with handling the situation.” She noted that Anna School officials have also been helpful. “They’ve all been great about it.”

While it won’t be pleasant, you and your husband are due for an honest conversation upon your return. If you both “still kind of” love each other, forgiveness is possible, and couples have been known to get beyond this and have successful marriages. DEAR ABBY: The “rule” that white pants can be worn only from Memorial Day to Labor Day needs to be amended. I love my white pants. They go with nearly everything, and I almost cry when they must be stored away for another

nine months. Ridiculous! My proposal would be to extend the grace period so it begins on Easter Sunday and lasts until Halloween. How does that sound? — MARILYN IN SAN MARCOS, CALIF. DEAR MARILYN: You will be delighted to know that according to “Emily Post’s Etiquette, 18th Edition,” that old rule about wearing white no longer applies. What’s important isn’t the color, but the weight of the fabric. Here in Southern California, summer can start late and continue through October. Lightweight fabrics such as cotton and linen are acceptable during hot weather, and when the temperature drops, “winter whites” in wool, corduroy, silk and satin are common, although usually in off-white shades rather than a stark one.

43. I asked why she did not get a colonoscopy earlier. She said that she had no symptoms and that insurance pays at 50 years old or over. How many people get colon cancer before age 50? —S.M. ANSWER: Only about 10 percent of colon cancer occurs before age 50. A family history of a first-degree relative getting colon cancer should prompt a colonoscopy at least 10 years younger that the family member was when diagnosed —so if your father was diagnosed at age 51, you should have a colonoscopy at age 41. Unfortunately, not everybody who will get colon cancer has a family history. Any bleeding from the rectum or in the stool should prompt a visit and at least a discussion of whether a colonoscopy is necessary —at any age. Most cases of bleeding aren’t cancer, but I’ve seen many cases of polyps and inflammatory bowel disease show up with bleeding. DEAR DR. ROACH: Recently I’ve read several

references as to how kudzu has been successfully used to treat alcoholism. But it’s not being sold anywhere. Two questions: Why isn’t it available to the public; and why is it being actively killed off with herbicides rather than being harvested? —S.M. ANSWER: A pilot study did show that a kudzu extract reduced the amount of alcohol that people drank (ordinary volunteers, not necessarily people with problems with alcohol). However, it’s a difficult process to prove that the extract is safe and effective in the long term. You can buy kudzu extract at some health-food stores or on the Internet, but the researchers found that none of the preparations they tried was effective. The kudzu concentration in the commercial versions was less than 1 percent, and the study used 30 percent to 40 percent concentration. I don’t recommend using existing kudzu preparations. In the meantime, I am assured that there is plenty of kudzu to go around.

For Thursday, Sept. 26, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Today you have wonderful opportunities to benefit from the wealth and resources of others. This is an excellent day to discuss how to share or divide something. (Ya think?) TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Conversations with partners and close friends will be upbeat, joyful and mutually beneficial. This is a lovely day to enjoy good times with others, including members of the general public. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Co-workers will be supportive of you today. You might get an offer for work-related travel that pleases you. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Romantic vibes are in the air! New love could blossom for some. Existing relationships also will be happier and more enthusiastic. Accept invitations to party or enjoy sports. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) This is an excellent day to explore real-estate deals. It's also a great day to entertain at home and enjoy family functions. Family members will be generous to each other. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Look for ways to make money from writing, selling, talking and promoting your ideas today. Discussions with neighbors, siblings and friends will be upbeat and friendly. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) "There's money in them thar hills!" You have a chance to boost your income today, to make money on the side or get a better job. Keep your eyes open! SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Feelings of well-being surround you today, because people are friendly and happy. In particular, they will enjoy your company and be ready to help you in some way. Group discussions will rev your engines. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Seek out some moments of peace and quiet, or solitude in beautiful surroundings, if you can. You feel contemplative and will welcome any chance to relax and enjoy some privacy. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) A casual relationship might heat up into something cozy. (Perhaps a friend will become a lover.) Accept invitations to join clubs and organizations, because others can help you now. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Demand the advantage, and ask for what you want because you look good to bosses today. They see you in a positive light, which is why you can use this to your benefit. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Travel plans will delight you today. Enjoy expanding your world in a pleasant way with the help of others. YOU BORN TODAY You have high standards for yourself, which is no surprise, because you're a perfectionist. You work hard to hone your craft. You practice; you rehearse -relentlessly. Your expertise often allows you to be influential. You are intense, and you have a great sense of humor. This year a change might occur, perhaps something as significant as what occurred around 2004. Birthdate of: Jim Caviezel, actor; Olivia Newton-John, singer; T.S. Eliot, poet/literary critic.

Energy audit, Medicaid changes occupy commissioners The Shelby County Commissioners recently discussed energy contracts as well as an energy audit of the county’s departments and heard about potential problems with the new Medicaid enrollment system. Commissioner Julie Ehemann reported that the commissioners met with the new assistant prosecutor, Melanie Wood, from the Shelby County Prosecutor’s Office on Tuesday. Wood met with the commissioners to discuss energy contracts. Ehemann said the Prosecutor’s Office was asked to review the contracts. After Wood’s review, the commissioners approved the contracts with Palmer Energy for gas and electric energy contracts. They are three-year contracts. Rob Vollrath of Perfection Group met with the commissioners to review an energy audit conducted by the company. The company looked at the county’s buildings and gave the commissioners a feasibility report. According to Ehemann, the company looked at electric and other utility usage by department. The commissioners are looking at updating some heating and electricity in some departments. House Bill 295 would allow the commissioners to do the work “without going against liability limits” and would provide the county with loan money. The energy savings realized from updating heating and electrical service would provide the extra financial resources to repay the loan, Ehemann said. Ehemann said that while the energy savings would result in the additional resources, the commissioners might initially have to pay for some of the upgrades from capital improvement funds. The commissioners are currently reviewing the feasibility report. “We are in serious need,” Ehemann said, discussing the upgrades that are needed. “We’re working on figuring out the best way to do it. We had the air conditioning on the fourth floor of the (Shelby County) Annex (go out) this summer” and it had to be repaired … we don’t want to ban-

dage things. We want to do things right.” Among other issues found in the audit are problems at the Shelby County Courthouse and the Annex. “The heating and airconditioning systems are terribly outdated,” Ehemann said. Perfection Group is recommending new windows and noted roofing issues at the Shelby County Courthouse. “ They (Perfection Group) looked at numerous buildings,” Ehemann said, noting that the Shelby County EMA building is in need of a new furnace. “We told them to give us two weeks to review the report.” Shelby County Job and Family Services (JFS) Director Tom Bey met with the commissioners in open session and in executive session. In open session, Ehemann said Bey told the commissioners he is very concerned with changes to the Medicaid system that will affect local residents. Bey reportedly told the commissioners that there will be a new computer system in place on Oct. 1 that will allow local residents to sign up for Medicaid online. Ehemann said Bey told them that JFS employees “have not been able to be trained,” noting that when they attended training, “the computer crashed.” Bey wanted to let the commissioners know about the problems and Ehemann said he told them that if there are problems with the new system, state officials have reportedly said, “glitches will be blamed on the county level.” Bey met in executive session with the commissioners and told them that he felt they should be aware that JFS is currently involved in an investigation. No further information was available at press time regarding the nature of the investigation. Ehemann said the commissioners released marriage license fees totaling a little more than $6,000 to New Choices, a domestic violence shelter. The commissioners approved a resolution for Palmer Energy for gas and electric energy contracts.

College admissions counselors visit Lehman

College and university websites contain a vast amount of information on topics as wide-ranging as academic majors to off-campus housing. Even so, there is nothing quite like having face-to-face contact with someone from the university. Lehman Catholic High School’s Senior Guidance Counselor Barb Saluke creates this opportunity for Lehman juniors and seniors by hosting college representatives. These visits nearly always take place in the fall months. Lehman students are able to meet with the college representatives prior to the start of the regular school day. Representatives from Otterbein College, the College of Mount St. Joseph of Cincinnati, Ohio University, Bluffton University and The Ohio State University already have visited. Rhodes State College is scheduled Sept. 30. “I believe the visits are an important part of the college selection process,” Saluke said recently following the visit from the representative from The Ohio State University. “The students have the opportunity to ask the representatives questions they have prior to making campus visits. In addition, and perhaps most importantly, the student has the opportunity to meet the individuals who will eventually help to make the decision about their acceptance at the university.” Senior Michael Reinhart has attended most of Lehman’s college visits this year. Although he plans to spend his first two years at Edison Community College, Reinhart continues to search for the college or university he will attend to complete his degree. “I have used the opportunity to learn more about each of the institutions – housing, academics, and campus college life,” Reinhart stated. “The visits have been important in learning more about each university without the expense of visiting each campus.” Institutions with representatives visiting Lehman include The Ohio State School of Cosmetology (Oct. 2), University of Cincinnati (Oct. 3), Manchester University (Oct. 10), Bowling Green State University (Oct. 18), Findlay University (Oct. 22), Ohio Northern University (Oct. 30), Defiance College (Nov. 6) and the University of St. Francis (Nov. 7).

Snipes gets win No. 400 at Lehman The Lehman volleyball team’s victory over Lima Perry last Thursday marked the 400h victory in the coaching career of Greg Snipes 400th win. It is one of those things that I knew was coming,” Snipes said. “But such milestones are not something I dwell on. It was great to get the win at home with students, players, parents and fans who support us each week able to enjoy the evening.” Four hundred victories is impressive, but consider that Snipes has managed to do it is just 16½ seasons in a sport that has just twenty-two regular season matches each year. If he won every match, that would total just 363 victories. Since 1996, his rookie season, Snipes has not only amassed a winning record, his teams have won Sectional and District titles every year. In addition, the Cavaliers have advanced to the Final Four six times under Snipes’ leadership, winning three state championships and twice bringing home the runner-up trophy. “It is a great accomplishment that is a tribute to the quality players I have had the opportunity to coach at Lehman,” Snipes said. The senior team captains were all smiles following the match. Ellie Cain, whose father serves as Snipes’ assistant, was first to speak for her teammates. “Coach’s 400th win helps to make our senior year even more memo-

rable,” Cain said. Coach works so hard. This accomplishment is well-deserved,” Ava Schmitz said. Olivia Slagle added, “We were glad to focus on the win in a way that would be memorable for coach. His hard work on behalf of not only our team but every team he has coached makes each of us

want to work harder.” “We are delighted that we all had a part in his 400th win,” Erica Paulus noted. Every varsity player participated in victory. Principal Denise Stauffer, who coached the team prior to handing the reins to Snipes in 1996 when she was

serving as the school’s athletic director, said that “Coach Snipes’ has been very dedicated to the team and to the school community. He is an outstanding coach, who always puts his players before himself. This accomplishment is a tribute not only to his hard work but his dedication to the sport.”

Lehman girls suffer 1st loss

CASSTOWN — Lehman suffered its first loss of the season in high school girls soccer, losing to Miami East in a defensive game 2-1 Tuesday. Each team managed just four shots on goal. East got its first goal with 14 minutes left in the first half on a score by Emily Holicki. It was the only goal of the half. Lehman tied it with 13 minutes left when Ashley Keller scored off an assist by Taylor Lachey. It came down to the final minute, and Holicki came through for her team, scoring with just :17 remaining. Both teams are 9-0-1. East won the junior varsity game 4-1. Lady Jackets win 8-0 The Sidney High girls soccer team had their way with Greenville Monday night, winning by a score of 8-0 in Greater Western Ohio Conference North action at the high school. The win puts the Lady Jackets at 5-3-3 overall and 2-0-1 in the GWOC North division with Vandalia coming to town Wednesday. The Lady Jackets started the scoring early and continued to play in their offensive end for the majority of the night. Goals were scored by Lauren Boyd (2), Lauren Spaugy (2) , Erin Ivey (2), Elizabeth Barr, and Emily Wiesenmayer. Assists were recorded by Taylor Busse (2), Adrianne Miller and Emily Wiesenmayer. “It’s great to play confidence-builder games like these, but we have to make sure it doesn’t change how we play the game,” said Sidney coach Stacey Goffena. “We need to continue to work toward our goal of being GWOC north champions and continue making ourselves better. While we’ve been struggling to score of late, I’m hoping this will give some girls some confidence to step up in big games for us.” The junior varsity team played Northmont and finished in a 1-1 tie. Sidney’s goal was scored by Sarah Lewis.

Anna, Loramie, Lehman in the hunt

Ken Barhorst & Dave Ross

Things are starting to get serious now, with the first official high school computer rankings coming out Tuesday. The thing that stands out is Anna still being very much in the picture in Division VI, Region 22, despite two losses in the last three games. That opening-night win over Lehman is paying big dividends, and will continue to do so all season. Minster, winner of two in a row, is back in 14th place in the same region and Versailles, which got its first win last week, is 16th. Lehman and Fort Loramie are both in the top eight right now in Division VII, and it’s the top eight that make it to postseason play. Fort Loramie is seventh after its huge win over Ada last week, and Lehman is right behind in eighth. Playing in the Northwest Central Conference, don’t look for either team to lose much the rest of the way. Marion Local leads that division, and is also the No. 1-ranked team in D-VII in the latest Associated Press rankings. That gives the school two No. 1-ranked fall sports teams — the girls volleyball team is also the top-ranked team, in Division IV. Both teams are defending state champions. Sidney, meanwhile, is 15th in Region 6 of D-II. Mother nature Friday night’s Miami Valley weather forecast indicated that rain, wind, and lightning would

Extra points

combine to interrupt and/or postpone many high school football games around the area. While the rain and wind did arrive, lightning largely stayed away. Less than a dozen were postponed until Saturday with most of those in the Urbana/ Springfield area. We’re aware of none that began on Friday and finished on Saturday, which has been a familiar scenario in recent years. Fields that were rain soaked by Friday morning got even more water throughout Friday night. Many games were hampered by standing water, resulting in advantage for some and disadvantage for others. For instance, Ada wasn’t able to launch its vaunted passing attack against Fort Loramie and couldn’t generate an offensive touchdown in a 14-8 loss in a non-league battle for many computer points. Loramie made major upgrades in weeks three and four of the schedule by picking up Defiance Tinora and Ada, splitting the pair. In 2014 the Redskins will go on the road to meet that duo. All three now stand at 3-1 here in 2013. With the exception of the likely conference title game with Lehman on Oct. 11 on Loramie turf, the ‘Skins may not be challenged in Northwest Central Conference play. Lehman is in a similar situation. Too bad the two county rivals don’t meet on the final night of the regu-

lar season because the NWCC turned down a proposal to protect and promote rivalries by placing them in week ten. Belmont at Sidney When Dayton Belmont comes to Sidney Memorial Stadium on Friday, it won’t remind anyone of the 1966 battle at Julia Lamb Stadium where the Yellow Jackets upset the Bisons 8-6. In those days the Dayton City League played fine football and Belmont was annually the top team. That was just two years after Don May and Bill Hosket took Belmont to the state basketball title. Almost half a century later, things have changed. City League football is weak and Belmont is at the bottom, currently standing 0-4 beginning with a 58-20 loss to Ansonia which hasn’t won since. Why is Sidney playing Belmont? Actually there’s a good reason. The Jackets didn’t win a game in 2010 & 2011 and had the opportunity to opt out of a pair of games with league crossover Northmont the next two seasons. Belmont was available for week five in both 2012 & 2013 and was willing to come to Sidney twice. The Jackets won the first game 49-14. The series will not be renewed as Beavercreek will become the GWOC crossover in that slot. Last week’s crossover opponent will also be replaced as Fairborn returns while Springboro departs which is favorable for Sidney after Springboro scored 91 points

against the Yellow Jackets during the past two meetings. Each GWOC division has six schools allowing each member to play only divisional games during the last half of the season. Class reunions Since the opening of Sidney Memorial Stadium in 2004, many SHS class reunions have targeted Sidney home football weekends for their events. This weekend the class of 1963 will return for number 50. They will have a special seating area for the Belmont game and will hold their dinner/dance on Saturday evening. In two weeks the SHS class of 1958 will return home on the weekend Sidney football makes the short trip to Piqua. Matt Kemper Former Sidney coach Matt Kemper (1998-2000) continues as the head man at Pope High School in Marietta, Ga., where he was off to a rough start before tasting victory last Friday. His team lost its first three by a combined 163-40 score before posting a 28-24 win. Matt’s twin sons are juniors on the team. Second level points Fort Loramie and Lehman have one thing in common each week as they both root for Minster to get them additional second level computer points. Each defeated the Wildcats during the season’s first two weeks. During weeks three and four, Minster has beaten New Bremen and St. Henry. Actually Loramie didn’t care who won between Minster and

New Bremen since they had beaten both. Speaking of Minster, former head coach Nate Moore now stands at 3-1 at Cincinnati LaSalle, a prominent Division II school, after Friday’s 31-24 overtime loss to Fort Wayne Bishop Dwenger (5-0). Still to come are household names Moeller, Saint Xavier, and Elder from the Greater Catholic League. Moeller-Xavier According to a story in the Cincinnati Enquirer, 15,000 to 17,000 fans are expected Friday night for the game between Cincinnati Moeller and Cincinnati St. Xavier at Nippert Stadium. Moeller leads the all-time series 37-17-1. Tough road ahead The Piqua Indians are 1-3, and could easily be 3-1, having lost to Kings 24-23 and Lima Senior 49-42. But that’s probably of little consolation since the road ahead is a difficult one. The Indians host 3-1 Springboro Friday before going to Trotwood the following Friday. NBA exec visits Next Monday Indiana Pacers Senior VP Todd Taylor (SHS 1990) will speak at the Sidney Rotary weekly luncheon, then head to Sidney High School to visit the football team during a weightlifting session before practice. Taylor was a key player on the Yellow Jackets 1989 state semi-finalists.

SCOREBOARD CALENDAR

Sidney booters fall to Vandalia The Sidney High boys scored less than two minutes into the game Tuesday night at home against Vandalia. But that was all the Jackets could manage in a 3-1 loss to the Aviators in Greater Western Ohio Conference North soccer action. Sidney is now 4-7-1 overall and 2-1 in the North. Vandalia is 7-3-2 and 2-0-1. Preston Crall scored for Sidney with 38:19 left in the first half, with a double assist by Brady Gaylor and Kyle Mann. But Vandalia scored twice before the half was over, then added another goal in the second half. “I thought Vandalia was a little faster than us and maybe a little more skilled,” said Sidney coach Eric Harlamert. “But we got opportunities. We just weren’t able to connect enough.” Sidney won the JV game. Crall also scored the goal in the JV game, with an assist from Austin Epperly. Fairlawn loses 3-1 Fairlawn lost 3-1 Tuesday to West Milton in boys soccer action. Luke Brautigam had the lone goal for the Jets, unassisted, and keeper Wesley Bolton had 17 saves. The Jets are 4-6.

Home sales increase in August The number of homes sold across Ohio increased 16.9 percent in August, as the market posted yearover-year gains in activity for the 26th consecutive month, according to the Ohio Association of Realtors. “The Ohio housing market, with each passing month, continues to build a solid foundation for a sustainable and growing marketplace,” said OAR President Thomas J. Williams. “Attaining an unprecedented 26 straight months of year-over-year gains in sales activity — our longest stretch of uninterrupted growth in 16 years of tracking Ohio home sales — is a clear indicator of robust consumer

confidence and a renewed appreciation that, long-term, housing is a sound investment.” Sales through the first eight months of 2013 reached 88,268, a 17.5 percent increase from the 75,134 sales posted during the same period a year ago. The average sales price (January through August) this year is $143,786, a 6.1 percent increase from the $135,465 mark set during the period a year ago. Total dollar volume this year is nearly $12.7 billion, a 24.7 percent increase from the eight-month mark of a year ago of nearly $10.2 billion.

“I recommend The Pavilion to anybody because it is such a great place. The food is great and the staff is Wonderful. I loved my private suite. I really liked my therapist too.”

Sales in August reached 13,545, a 16.9 percent increase from the 11,583 sales posted during a year ago. The August 2013 sales total is the month’s best mark since 2006. The average sales price of $149,963 is a 3.4 percent increase from the $145,093 average price posted in August 2012. Data provided to OAR by Multiple Listing Services includes residential closings for new and existing single-family homes and condominiums/co-ops. The Ohio Association of Realtors, with more than 26,000 members, is the largest professional trade association in Ohio.
