Formerly Sidney Inn

Frances Barnhart was born Frances Carolyn Thackara on Jan. 16, 1916, in Dayton.

She attended school in Bellbrook and graduated from Wittenberg University with a bachelor’s degree in 1937.

She taught English in Greenville and at Dorothy Lane High School before marrying Ivan Barnhart in 1940.

Frances and Ivan moved to New Carlisle following their marriage, where Frances lived until December 2012. At that time, she moved to Dorothy Love Retirement Community in Sidney.

All of her life, she was an avid reader and during the 1940s and ’50s, she delighted many audiences with her insightful and entertaining, live, book review presentations.

One book that she particularly enjoyed was “Cheaper by the Dozen” by Grank B. Gilbreth and Ernestine Gilbreth Carey. She presented this book review to women’s clubs and other organizations many, many times over the years.

During this time, Frances also served as secretary for the New Carlisle Church of the Brethren, which she also attended with her family. In later years, she was a member of the Honey Creek Presbyterian Church.

When her daughters were a bit older, Frances began substitute teaching in the New Carlisle-Bethel school system and became a

full-time English teacher at Tecumseh High School in 1962. She remained in this position unti 1972, when she returned to substitute teaching. Frances served on the board of the New Carlisle Public Library for many years.

Although she would adamantly deny it, Frances was very talented in several areas.

She spent many hours beautifully restoring antique furniture; she hand-braided scores of brightly colored wool rugs; she stitched lovely Christmas stockings for every member of her extended family; and many, many other “projects” she would get an interest in and complete. Until well into her 90s, Frances could be seen mowing the yard in the summer and raking leaves in the fall.

Frances was predeceased by Ivan, her husband of 62 years, in March 2002. She is survived by two daughters, Susie (Phil) Valentine, of Sidney, and Sara Hart, of Palo Alto, Calif.; four grandchildren, Sara (Tim Vara) Valentine, Carolyn (David) Valentine Rapp, Ashley (Brian) Valentine Derrer and David (Lori) Valentine; and by 12 great-grandchildren.

At Frances’s request, there will be no public services.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the New Carlisle Public Library.

Levy From page 1 the board that early voting for the election started Oct. 1.

Brooke Gessler, the district’s curriculum coordinator, along with teachers Jill Hanke and Lindsay Geuy, updated the board on the third-grade reading guarantee and professional development for administrators.

Gessler said the Adaptive Schools program, which is a four-day seminar, helps school administrators become stronger leaders.

“They bring in a team to work with the administrative team,” said Gessler. “The administrators then share the ideas with the staff and the teachers implement the ideas into their classrooms.”

Gessler said meetings have been held at the elementary schools and parents of third-grade students to explain the third-grade reading guarantee.

Geuy explained the district is identifying students in kindergarten through third grade who are behind in their reading level. A student can be “on-tract,” which means they are at or above their grade level in reading, or “not on tract,” which means they are reading at below their grade level. An assessment of each student is held in September to determine their reading level. Students who fall in the “not on tract” level receive additional help in bringing up their reading level.

Hanke said the teachers have a monitoring plan which tracts the student’s reading improvement over the year. The plan shows who interventions were used to help the students.

Students who do not meet the state-mandated reading score will be retained in the third grade.

Testing is held in the fall and spring for the thirdgrade students.

“The goal,” said Geuy, “is to ensure all students can read.”

Gessler said all third-grade parents will be receiving a letter about the program.

“This will help keep them in the loop of their child’s education,” said Gessler.

In other business, the board: • Heard presentations from FCCLA and FFA members about their organizations and what events they have planned for the year.

• Accepted the resignations due to retirements of Sandy Davis, business services secretary, effective Jan. 1, and Marcia Vordemark, elementary secretary, effective March 1.

• Accepted the resignations of Stephen Magoteaux, substitute teacher, effective Sept.

17; Haley Fannon, junior varsity girls basketball coach, effective July 26; Devon Langhorst, winter strength coach, effective Sept. 23; and Tracy Nuss, middle school yearbook adviser, effective Oct. 3.

• Employed Carrol Cutler, assistant bad director (50 percent), $1,779; Aaron Steinke, assistant band director, $847; and Damon Smith, ninthgrade boys basketball coach, $1,694.

• Hired Linda Carpenter, Cheryl Clark and Jane Hixon as home instruction tutors on a one-year limited as-needed basis effective Oct. 8 at $22.55 per hour.

• Hired Jeff Wheeler, substitute bus driver, $14.08 per hour, and Patricia Heath, substitute cook, $8.81 per hour on one-year limited asneeded basis contracts.

• Approved Tom Clark as a volunteer site manager effective Nov. 1.

• Approved Jessica May, school psychologist, to attend district wide meetings when special education issues are on the agenda.

• Approved an out-of-state student trip for selected Sidney Middle School and Sidney High School FCCLA members to attend a national cluster meeting in Charlotte, N.C., Nov. 22-24.

Expenses will be paid by the students.

• Approved the purchase of a replacement dishwasher for Emerson Elementary from Bushong Restaurant Equipment at a cost of $17.242.66 including installation by Hobart. The purchase will be made from food service funds.

• Went into executive session to discuss the status of an employee of the district. No action was taken.

The board’s next meeting will be Oct. 21 at 6 p.m. at the board of education building.

Scarecrows coming to Anna Park ANNA — The second annual Scarecrows in the Park will be an opportunity for local residents to decorate a scarecrow and help a good cause when the event is held this weekend.

Gary Strasser, Anna village council member and parks committee chairman, announced that the annual event will be held on Sunday from 1 to 4 p.m. at Anna

Community Park. The park is located on Main Street to the west of the village.

Any business, organization, family or individual can build a scarecrow and enter a contest to see which scarecrow can get the most canned goods donated.

There will be cash prizes for the scarecrow that has the most canned goods donated and for the best scarecrow.

The goal is to double the number of scarecrows from last year’s eight scarecrows and to collect twice as much food.

Approximately 250 cans of food were collected last year.

The event is held to collect non-perishable food items for the local food pantry.

Anyone with questions can call the Village of Anna at 394-3751.

Lawsuit From page 1 Ohio Supreme Court and to the Ohio Attorney General or to the Prosecuting Attorney of the county involved.”

After a review of the suspension process, Faulkner wrote, “if the public official subsequently pleads guilty to or is found guilty of any felony with which the public official was charged, the public official is liable for any compensation paid to the official during the suspension, with the liability relating back to the date of the original suspension under the special commission’s report and holding and the amount of that liability may be recovered.”

However, Faulkner wrote that the “crucial

issue” before him was “the meaning of the words ‘any felony with which the public official was charged.’” Faulkner said his interpretation of the law suggests that “the legislative intent was to require some relationship between the conduct for which the public official was suspended and the entitlement to reimbursement.

Further, the placement of the language within the particular paragraph dealing with the action of the Supreme Court in affirming the suspension would indicate a relationship was required.

Faulkner stated, “the statute is very clear that notice and hearing concerning the suspension are available to the sus-

pended official at every stage. To change position suddenly to require reimbursement on the basis of some unrelated matter is neither reasonable or logical.”

“If the unrelated felony to which the official entered a plea of guilty were to be the basis for reimbursement, it would be logical to tie the reimbursement to a date relating to felony, rather than the one for which the official was suspended,” Faulkner wrote.

“It would have been an easy matter during the suspension process to include the charges in both courts. However, this was not done and the Court concludes that a felony plea or finding giving rise to an obli-

gation of repayment of compensation by the suspended public official must occur in a case which deals with the subject matter for which the official was suspended.”

Regarding the issue of “unjust enrichment,” Faulkner wrote, “the law requires that the suspended official continue to receive his compensation. It is only when and if the official pleads guilty to or is found guilty of a felony that liability for repayment attaches. Enrichment is only unjust if it is improperly received and retained. Since it was received pursuant to law, the doctrine of unjust enrichment has no application.” As result, Faulkner ruled that the

commissioners could not recoup the salary under the doctrine of unjust enrichment.

Faulkner ruled that there were “no genuine issues of material fact” and “the issue is strictly one of statutory interpretation.”

“Defendant Kimpel is entitled to judgment as a matter of law and viewing the facts most strongly in favor of (the Commissioners), reasonable minds must conclude adversely to (the Commissioners) and in favor of (Kimpel).”

Faulkner ruled that Court costs be assessed against the Shelby County Commissioners.

Kimpel’s attorney had sought attorney’s fees, expenses and costs.

Ohio witness: $100M scam suspect resisted queries Thomas J. Sheeran Associated Press

CLEVELAND (AP) — The former legal adviser to a charity at the center of an alleged $100 million fraud testified Tuesday that the suspected mastermind resisted efforts to identify anyone else involved with the organization.

Helen Mac Murray, returning to the witness stand for a second day, testified in detail about the man who identified himself to her as Bobby Thompson but who authorities say is Harvard-trained attorney John Donald Cody.

Mac Murray, who was the charity’s general counsel, said Thompson repeatedly turned aside any attempt she made to meet board members, saying it was unnecessary.

Mac Murray said she started making inquiries about the charity’s leadership when a newspaper reporter and a fund-

raising contractor began looking into the charity, the United States Navy Veterans Association of Tampa, Fla. The witness said Thompson rejected her attempts to meet board members and top executives of the charity, saying it unnecessary and they wanted to keep a low profile.

“He did not feel the association had an obligation” to disclose its top leadership, Mac Murray told jurors.

At the same time, Mac Murray said Thompson pretended to be emailing association leaders and sent her copies. That happened “dozens and dozens and dozens” of times, she said.

When she traveled around the country to meet with state charity regulators, she suggested meeting with local chapter leaders, but Thompson also rejected that, she said.

On a visit to Minnesota, Mac Murray testified, all

the information on the local chapter came from Thompson and she never met any local contacts or saw an office there.

Pressing its case on identity fraud charges, the prosecution showed Mac Murray a litany photos of on federal, state, company and campus identification cards from numerous states.

She identified them all as Thompson. None had the name Thompson, she testified.

On cross-examination, defense attorney Joseph Patituce’s line of questioning raised a possible reason for the multiple ID cards under different names — a secret government program.

Asked what she heard from Thompson about his background, Mac Murray said he had worked in military intelligence. And, she said, he had “some ongoing role” with the CIA, but there was no elaboration.

Patituce has said the defense might hinge in

Rape case charge dates to night of assault Andrew Welsh-Huggins Associated Press

COLUMBUS (AP) — An Ohio school employee tampered with evidence beginning on the night of an alcoholfueled party last year after which two high school football players raped a 16-year-old girl, according to an indictment released Tuesday.

William Rhinaman, technology director at Steubenville City Schools, also was charged with obstructing justice, obstructing official business and perjury.

The indictment released by the Ohio attorney general’s office alleges Rhinaman tried to alter or conceal evidence from Aug. 11, 2012, through April 25. Two Steubenville High School football players were convicted of raping the

West Virginia girl after the party that began the night of Aug. 11, 2012.

Rhinaman, 53, was being held in Jefferson County Jail without bond. Steubenville attorney Stephen Lamatrice briefly represented him after his arrest Monday but said Rhinaman now wants a public defender.

Rhinaman, of Mingo Junction near Steubenville, has a hearing Wednesday at which he’s expected to ask an attorney to represent him and to seek bond.

Lamatrice said Rhinaman has lived in the area 30 years and is not a risk to flee. He said Monday that Rhinaman denied the accusation.

Rhinaman went to work for the district in 1985, left in 2002 and returned in 2006, said

schools superintendent Michael McVey. Rhinaman is responsible for maintaining technology for the district, including equipment and software. McVey wouldn’t comment on the charges.

Dan Tierney, an attorney general’s office spokesman, said he couldn’t comment on the indictment.

The obstructing justice charge dates from April 8 to Oct. 4 and alleges Rhinaman tried to stop the prosecution of another person by either concealing or destroying evidence, getting the person to withhold information or communicating false information.

The charge of obstructing official business, also covering April 8 to Oct. 4, alleges Rhinaman tried to stand in the way of a public official’s work.

The perjury charge alleges Rhinaman lied under oath July 8. The attorney general’s office has said the Steubenville grand jury was in session that day.

Attorney General Mike DeWine convened the grand jury March 17, the day a judge con-

victed the two players of raping the girl.

A top issue before the 14-person panel has been whether adults such as coaches or school administrators knew of the rape allegation but failed to report it as required by law.

COLUMBUS (AP) — A measure to set new election rules for minor political parties passed the state Senate on Tuesday despite concerns from members of the Libertarian and Green parties that the changes would obstruct their access to the ballot and create hurdles for their candidates.

The proposal cleared the Republican-controlled Senate on a 22-11 vote, with one GOP senator joining Democrats in opposition.

The bill now goes to the House.

Gary Daniels, associate director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Ohio, told a Senate committee earlier Tuesday that the proposed

petition requirements are onerous for third parties and that the changes come too close to the 2014 election, especially for candidates who are collecting signatures for office.

“While there may not be a perfect time to implement these types of changes, it appears many of the proposed changes in Ohio law would ultimately harm those they are intended to help, at least for the 2014 election cycle,” Daniels said.

The bill’s sponsor said the standards are long overdue, since the state’s law was deemed unconstitutional by a federal appeals court in 2006.

Sen. Bill Seitz, a Cincinnati Republican, said that election officials have continued to recognize the third parties in existence at the time

of the ruling because there is no law to enforce.

“Obviously, if you are in one of those minor parties, you probably would like that current, lawless state of affairs to continue because you get to stay on the ballot without demonstrating any modicum of support,” Seitz said.

The proposal comes as Ohio Republicans face growing competition from tea party supporters who say they may support a third-party challenger to Republican Gov. John Kasich next year.

Seitz’s bill would require minor parties to gather petition signatures from at least 1 percent of the total vote cast in the most recent election for governor or president

online through the City of Sidney website, through cash, check or money order through in person, drop box or mail. The AutoPay program allows the customer to provide their bank account number and the payment is automatically deducted on the due date. It allows the customer to keep their funds in the bank until the due date, saves postage and there are no late fees. They continue to receive a mailed bill. It allows the city to be more efficient and takes less time for the staff. There are currently 195 customers who pay monthly through AutoPay. By using online banking, local residents can see

the same advantages as AutoPay and the city also sees the same advantages.

There are currently 616 customers who pay through online banking each month.

Local residents who want to pay online can go to http://www.sidneyoh.com/ to pay online and using a secure link to Merchant Processor. Residents can have 24/7 access to their account and billing information and will save postage. There are advantages for the city since payments are done in batches and it is a benefit for the city not to have as many residents coming to their counter for assistance and they are not calling city offices.

Berning and Van Hook presented the payment methods and costs numbers including the Autopay program in which there are currently an average of 195 per month customers, as compared to 200 in 2011, which averages approximately $26,635 per month at an average cost of 18 cents per transaction. The online banking program currently has approximately 616 customers per month, as compared to 525 in 2011, which averages $71,882 per month and an average cost of 10 cents per transaction.

Online payments through the city’s website include an average of 200 e-checks, with online payments begin-

ning in 2012 at an average of $20,896 per month and a cost of 25 cents per transaction. There are approximately 140 online credit card transactions at $13,549 per month and the customer pays a convenience fee of $2.95 to the processor.

There are approximately 600 residents who choose to use a credit card at the counter as opposed to 500 in 2011, which averages $63,178 per month at an average cost per transaction of 1.4 percent or approximately $1.44 per transaction.

There are approximately 3,414 customers who use cash, check or money orders to pay their bills to the City of Sidney as opposed to 3,575 in 2011 for an average of $702,560 per month and 13 cents per transaction and 90 cents when staff time is calculated in to the total.

E-billing will allow customers to obtain a paper bill or receive their bill in their email. They will have 24/7 access to their bills and information and will have 13 months of billing information available and will not need paper copies. It allows the city to reduce postage costs and other supplies such as envelopes and bills.

The city of Sidney hopes to see savings through using the new E-billing option.

It will save 0.348 cents in postage per transaction and

that does not include the three cent increase in postage beginning in 2014. It will save additional transaction expenses per transaction including 0.066 in supplies and will save printing costs of 0.5165. The total cost per E-bill will be 0.115 cents.

Berning and Van Hook gave council members a look at the sign-up and preferences page for the new E-bill and a sample of the email notification for bills and the bill statement.

The new E-bill program will go into effect this month and residents are now able to sign up for E-billing.

The city plans to promote the program and will also encourage residents to switch to online payments.

Cundiff said that local residents can get their bill online and “still pay in person or by check or money order” if they prefer. “Not everyone has internet access. We will always have a paper bill,” Cundiff said, noting that those who want can still come to the city offices. But he added that with the E-bill, “there is a….cost difference there.”

Those wanting information on the new E-billing program can go to http:// www.sidneyoh.com/.

If there are questions, residents can call the city’s revenue collections department.

Nation/World Today in History The Associated Press

Today is Wednesday, Oct. 9, the 282nd day of 2013.

There are 83 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Oct. 9, 1813, Giuseppe Verdi, the composer of such classic operas as “Aida,” ”La Traviata,” ”Rigoletto” and “Il Trovatore,” was born in the Italian village of Le Roncole.

(There is some dispute over Verdi’s date of birth, with numerous sources saying he was actually born on Oct. 10.)

On this date: In 1446, the Korean alphabet, created under the aegis of King Sejong, was first published.

In 1776, a group of Spanish missionaries settled in present-day San Francisco.

In 1888, the public was first admitted to the Washington Monument.

In 1910, a coal dust explosion at the Starkville Mine in Colorado left 56 miners dead.

In 1930, Laura Ingalls became the first woman to fly across the United States as she completed a nine-stop journey from Roosevelt Field, N.Y., to Glendale, Calif.

In 1936, the first generator at Boulder (later Hoover) Dam began transmitting electricity to Los Angeles.

In 1940, rock and roll legend John Lennon was born in Liverpool, England.

In 1946, the Eugene O’Neill drama “The Iceman Cometh” opened at the Martin Beck Theater in New York.

In 1958, Pope Pius XII died at age 82, ending a 19-year papacy. (He was succeeded

by Pope John XXIII.) In 1962, Uganda won autonomy from British rule.

In 1974, businessman Oskar Schindler, credited with saving about 1,200 Jews during the Holocaust, died in Frankfurt, West Germany (at his request, he was buried in Jerusalem).

In 1987, author, politician and diplomat Clare Boothe Luce died in Washington at age 84.

Ten years ago: A suicide car bombing at a Baghdad police station killed eight people; Spanish military attache Jose Antonio Bernal Gomez was shot to death in Baghdad.

Five years ago: Calm gave way to fear in financial markets, turning a relatively steady day into a rout that pushed the Dow Jones industrials below 9,000 — to 8,579.19 — for the first time in five years. Jean-Marie Gustave Le Clezio of France won the Nobel Prize in literature.

One year ago: Former Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky was sentenced to 30 to 60 years in prison following his July conviction on 45 counts of sexual abuse of boys.

Out of the Blue

Sheep stroll through Madrid MADRID (AP) — Shepherds led a flock of 2,000 sheep through Madrid on Sunday in defense of ancient grazing, droving and migration rights increasingly threatened by urban s rawl and modern agricultural practices.

Tourists were surprised to see downtown traffic cut to permit the ovine parade to bleat — bells clanking — across some of Madrid’s most upmarket urban settings.

Since at least 1273, shepherds have had the right to use droving routes that wind across land that was once open fields and woodland before Madrid mushroomed to the great metropolis it is today.

Every year, a handful of shepherds defend that right in Spain’s capital city. Following an age-old tradition, they paid 25 maravedis — coins first minted in the 11th century — to city hall officials to use the crossing.

Shepherds have a right to use around 78,000 miles (125,000 kilometers) of ancient paths for seasonal livestock migrations from cool highland pastures in summer to warmer and more protected lowland grazing in winter.

2 win physics Nobel for Higgs theory Frank Jordans and Karl Ritter Associated Press

STOCKHOLM (AP) — Nearly 50 years after they came up with the theory, but little more than a year since the world’s biggest atom smasher delivered the proof, Britain’s Peter Higgs and Belgian colleague Francois Englert won the Nobel Prize in physics Tuesday for helping to explain how matter formed after the Big Bang.

Working independently in the 1960s, they came up with a theory for how the fundamental building blocks of the universe clumped together, gained mass and formed everything we see around us today.

The theory hinged on the existence of a subatomic particle that came to be called the Higgs boson — or the “God particle.”

In one of the biggest breakthroughs in physics in decades, scientists at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, announced last year that

they had finally found a Higgs boson using the $10 billion particle collider built in a 17-mile (27-kilometer) tunnel under the Swiss-French border.

In a statement issued by the University of Edinburgh, where he retired as a professor, the famously shy, 84-year-old Higgs said he hoped the prize would help people recognize “the value of blue-sky research.”

Englert, 80, said the award pointed to the importance of scientific freedom and the need for scientists to be allowed to do fundamental research that doesn’t have immediate practical applications.

“You don’t work thinking to get the Nobel Prize,” said Englert, a retired professor at the Free University of Brussels. Still, “we had the impression that we were doing something that was important, that would later on be used by other researchers.”

The Nobel selection committees are notoriously cautious, often allowing decades to

elapse before honoring a scientific breakthrough, and their choices are hard to predict. But this time, the prize went to people who were widely expected to get it.

“In CERN here, most all of the physicists I know, about 95 percent, expected those two would win it. The question was if there would be a third and who it would be,” said Joe Incandela, a professor of physics at the University of California at Santa Barbara and leader of the CMS experiment, one of the two groups that discovered the Higgs particle.

Before the announcement, there had been questions over whether a group of American scientists who published a paper shortly after Higgs would also be honored, or whether any of the thousands of scientists at CERN would share in the prize, too.

But that would have been a tricky decision for the judges, since each Nobel Prize can go to only three winners.

Nobel Prize winner for Physics, Belgium’s Francois Englert holds up science stickers he received as a present from a journalist during a news conference at the University of Brussels in Brussels on Tuesday. Englert and Peter Higgs of Britain won the 2013 Nobel Prize in physics on Tuesday for their theory on how the most basic building blocks of the universe acquire mass, eventually forming the world we know today.

Ulf Danielsson, a member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, which awards the physics prize, noted that the prize citation also honored the work done at CERN. “This is a giant dis-

covery. It means the final building block in the so-called Standard Model for particle physics has been put in place, so it marks a milestone in the history of physics,” Danielsson said.

High court wary of limits Rebels attack on campaign donations army base in Mark Sherman Associated Press

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court appeared ready Tuesday to free big individual donors to give more money to political candidates in the court’s first major campaign finance case since the justices took the lid off of independent spending in 2010.

The court’s conservative justices, who formed the majority in 2010’s Citizens United case, voiced varying degrees of skepticism about the limits on what individuals may give candidates, political parties and political action committees in a two-year federal election cycle.

The argument in a packed courtroom that included members of Congress gave supporters of stringent campaign finance regulations little reason for optimism that the court would sustain limits that were enacted 40 years ago in response to Watergate-era abuses. The caps were intended

to reduce the potential for political corruption.

Chief Justice John Roberts, possibly the pivotal vote in the case, said that telling an individual he can give the legal maximum of $2,600 per election to only a handful of candidates for Congress “seems to me a very direct restriction” on First Amendment rights.

Roberts seemed less critical of the overall limits as they applied to the political parties, and he said nothing to suggest he would support an outcome that would call into question all contribution limits, including on what one contributor may give one candidate.

The Supreme Court first upheld contribution limits in its 1976 Buckley v. Valeo decision, accepting the anti-corruption rationale.

In Citizens United, the court said that spending that is independent of campaigns poses no risk of corruption, no matter how large.

Tuesday’s case was in part about how to reconcile those holdings.

No consensus on ‘Redskins’ name Jesse Washington AP National Writer

The name of a certain pro football team in Washington, D.C., has inspired protests, hearings, editorials, lawsuits, letters from Congress, even a presidential nudge. Yet behind the headlines, it’s unclear how many Native Americans think “Redskins” is a racial slur.

Perhaps this uncertainty shouldn’t matter — because the word has an undeniably racist history, or because the team says it uses the

word with respect, or because in a truly decent society, some would argue, what hurts a few should be avoided by all.

But the thoughts and beliefs of native people are the basis of the debate over changing the team name. And looking across the breadth of Indian Country — with 2 million Indians enrolled in 566 federally recognized tribes, plus another 3.2 million who tell the Census they are Indian — it’s difficult to tell how many are opposed to the name.

north Syria

MAARET AL-NUMAN, Syria (AP) — Rebel fighters dressed in camouflage uniforms carefully loaded mortar rounds, then with a loud boom and a burst of smoke the shells zipped off in the direction of a nearby government army base.

“We are coming to get you, shabiha!” a man surrounded by rebel fighters shouted in an apparent reference to President Bashar Assad, using the term the opposition uses to refer to pro-government gunmen.

The shelling Tuesday, the latest salvo in an assault on the military facility, was part of a broader rebel effort to capture the remaining regime outposts in the largely opposition-held countryside of northern Syria.

Dramatic footage shot by The Associated Press showed a group of 45 young rebel fighters launching an attack on the military base, and others deploying improvised cannons and makeshift mortars. Some were also seen firing anti-aircraft weapons at attacking government helicopters.

The rebels captured the strategic city of Maaret al-Numan a year ago after systematically seizing the army’s outposts in the area, a major supply route linking the capital, Damascus, with the contested Idlib region and Syria’s largest city, Aleppo.

But despite repeated assaults on the nearby military installation of Hamidiyeh, in the Wadi Deif area east of the city, the rebel fighters have failed to break through the heavily fortified base.

The latest operation began Monday, and the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said many Libyan fighters were battling on the rebel side. It said regime fighter jets twice hit opposition-held areas near the city Tuesday and the clashes caused casualties, though it gave no specifics.

At least 10 government soldiers and one rebel fighter were killed on Monday, it said.

The fight for the base is part of the ongoing, broader struggle for control of northern Syria, where the opposition controls large swathes of territory captured from Assad’s troops.

Most of the northern countryside is in the hands of anti-Assad fighters, while the government is holding out in isolated military bases and inside major cities.

Compromise From page 1 support from Republicans.

And a proposal by the House Republicans to create a working group of 20 lawmakers to tackle deficit issues drew a veto threat from the White House, the latest in a string of them as the administration insists the GOP reopen the government and avert default before any negotiations on deficit reduction or the three-year-old health care law can take place.

Republicans “don’t get to demand ransom in exchange for doing their jobs,” Obama said at the White House. “They don’t also get to say, you know, unless you give me what the voters rejected in the last election, I’m going to cause a recession.”

On a day in which both Obama and Boehner appeared on live television, both men appeared to be giving ground yet yielding little if anything of substance.

At midmorning, Boehner and other Republicans seemed to soften their demands.

“I suspect we can work out a mechanism to raise the debt ceiling while a negotiation is

underway,” Rep. Tom Cole, an Oklahoma Republican who is close to Boehner.

The speaker, who had previously insisted on specific changes in the health care law as the price for preventing the shutdown, told reporters, “I want to have a conversation (with Obama and Democrats.) I’m not drawing any lines in the sand. It’s time for us to just sit down and resolve our differences.”

Asked if he was willing to raise the debt ceiling and fund the government for a short period, the Ohio Republican sidestepped.

“I’m not going to get into a whole lot of speculation,” he said.

A few hours later, Obama told a news conference he was willing to negotiate with Republicans on budget and other issues if Congress passed even short-term legislation to end the crisis.

“I’ll even spring for dinner again,” he said, referring to his courtship of Republican senators last winter, and attempting to inject humor into a political impasse where invective has been the norm.

Ninety minute later, Boehner was unsmiling.

“What the president said today was if there’s unconditional surrender by Republicans, he’ll sit down and talk,” he said.

Renewing his call for “a conversation” about key issues facing the country, the Ohio Republican said, “Not next week. Not next month. The conversation ought to start today.”

Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew has said the deadline for Congress to act is Oct., 17, setting that as the day the government will exhaust its ability to borrow funds and will have to rely day-to-day on tax and other receipts to pay its bills.

Some Republicans have downplayed the significance of the Oct. 17 deadline, saying that even then, the United States would be able to pay China and other holders of U.S. debt and avoid widespread economic dislocation.

But Obama said they were badly misguided, warning that default would harm the economy, cause retirement accounts to shrivel and houses to lose value.

Still other Republicans have made it clear in recent days they agree with the threat posed by default and are determined to prevent it.

Inside a closed-door meeting of the Republican rank and file, Boehner had told his fellow Republicans they were in the midst of a tough battle and that Obama and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid were trying to “annihilate us,” according to one official in attendance.

Boehner’s tone was different when he spoke to reporters.

“There’s no boundaries here.

There’s nothing on the table.

There’s nothing off the table. I’m trying to do everything I can to bring people together and to have a conversation,” he said.

In the back-and-forth, the threat of a default overshadowed the continuing partial government shutdown. An estimated 450,000 federal workers are idled at agencies responsible for items as diverse as food inspection and national parks, although all employees are eventually expected to receive full back pay.

Turkeyfoot shares $55,000 LAKEVIEW â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Turkeyfoot Benefit Crew recently reported that it raised $55,000.00 this year to benefit area hospices.

A $13,000 donation was provided to each of four facilities: Caring Hearts in Bellefontaine, Tri-County Hospice in vWapakoneta, Hardin County Hospice in Kenton and the Wilson Memorial Foundation in Sidney. A $3,000 donation was provided to the Shriners for their con-

tinued participation and support of the annual Turkeyfoot Hospice parade.

This all-volunteer organization was established in 2000 and, to date, has raised more than $375,000. All funds go directly to patient care; no funds are used for administrative purposes. The majority of this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fundraising came from two summer events and through the sale of pull tab tick-

ets by the staff at Froggyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s at the Lake. The annual Hospice Parade and Auction raised $13,000 from the contribution of more than 125 donated items and almost $10,000 in the sale of raffle tickets. A total of 139 boats took part in the annual bass tournament, raising $7,000 in profits.

Sidney Daily News, Wednesday, October 9, 2013

Page 7

Disease is real for local family

Walk to End Alzheimer’s set for Saturday Lucille Martin, 84, greets her visitor with a bright smile and a welcoming gesture to have a seat in the modest, comfortably furnished living room of her small Sidney home.

She lives alone with her cat, Mickey. The room is decorated with photos of her deceased husband and son and her two living daughters and their families. She has a deep throaty laugh that she uses often as she talks about her life, past and present.

Visitors wouldn’t immediately recognize that Martin has Alzheimer’s disease. But, just a few minutes into the conversation, when she must pause before sharing her daughters’ names, they would begin to suspect it.

“I have to stop and think about things,” she says, somewhat apologetically.

But Martin emphatically states that she does not have Alzheimer’s disease. “At least, nobody ever told me I did,” she said.

“That’s true,” confirmed her daughter, Nancy Waters, also of Sidney. “The doctor told her she has dementia, but he never used the word, ‘Alzheimer’s.’”

Because Waters didn’t want to upset her mother, she asked that their real names not be used in this article. All names, therefore, are fictitious, but the people are very real.

Martin’s mother suffered from Alzheimer’s disease, so even the word is scary to the whole family.

“My mother had Alzheimer’s, so I know exactly what it’s like,” Martin said. “Really, I don’t have that much of a problem. I’m just old.”

Waters, however, sees the same progression happening in her mom as happened in her grandmother. Her mother’s

lack of realization is the hardest thing to come to terms with: “Seeing my mother the way she is, not knowing that she’s not doing the things she used to do,” Waters said.

The biggest difference between the two cases is that now, there is medication that helps Martin. She has been taking Aricept since 2010 and within the last year, her physician added another drug.

Waters also credits her mother’s love of exercise with helping to hold the disease’s advance in check.

“I walk three miles a day,” Martin said many times.

She’s looking forward to participating in the Walk to End Alzheimer’s Saturday at 10 a.m. at the Senior Center, 304 S. West Ave. “I’ve done a lot of walking in my time,” she laughed.

“Walking has been my savior.

The good Lord gave me two legs and he said, ‘Walk!’ The best thing you can do as you get older is keep yourself moving.”

Martin grew up in the countryside just outside Sidney.

She met her husband, Edward, when she was 13. They married when she was 17, “and I have no regrets,” she said often. They had three children: a son, Harold, and two daughters. Harold died of cancer in 2009. Edward died just five months later. She repeated the story six times during this visitor’s hour-long stay: “At Harold’s funeral, Edward said to me, ‘It should have been –.’ I wouldn’t let him finish. You never think you’re going to bury one of your children. That’s the worst thing in the world. (Edward) didn’t last much longer. He was getting so tired. I’m still mad at him (for leaving me),” she laughed

every time. “As far as I’m concerned, he’s not gone. I’m too old to look for another one.”

Martin continues to cook for herself and do her own housekeeping. She pays her own bills. One or the other of her daughters visits each day to make sure she takes her medicine.

“The combination of medication and her walking has kept her able to be home yet,” Waters said. But, Waters added, her mother no longer makes decisions for herself. And Martin’s temper flares more quickly than it used to.

“She got very argumentative with everything,” Waters said.

Because Waters fully understands what’s likely to come, it’s difficult for her to talk about what Martin’s diagnosis has meant for their family. She admitted that it had not come as a surprise.

“It’s always been something that we’ve talked about. It was always one of our fears. I always hoped and prayed that it wouldn’t come to us,” she said. Like many other children of Alzheimer’s patients, Waters has a hard time watching what’s happening to her mother, the person she could always go to for answers when she needed them.

“In some respects, I don’t

have my mother anymore,” she said. “I’m more the mother to her now than she is to me. I’m angry about it. I get very upset.

Mom and I have moments that haven’t been too good. I have to keep in mind that if she were in her right place in her mind, this wouldn’t be happening.

To be really honest, I worry about if I’m going to have to go through it,” she said.

The two Martin daughters have seen that some days are better than others for their mom. On a good day, Waters’s sister has said, “Maybe she’s getting better.”

“I keep telling my sister it’s not going to get any better,” Waters said. “It’s a difficult thing. It’s not fun.” The condition forces the two younger women two wrestle with upsetting thoughts. “I just hate the thought that someday, my mom’s not going to know who I am,” Waters said.

“We’re hoping Mom won’t live long enough, that it won’t be full-blown. Not that I wish my mother would die …”

They have talked about death with their mom.

“I truly believe that whatever happens, she’s OK with things,” Waters said.

Martin seems to be especially optimistic.

“If today isn’t a good day,

maybe tomorrow will be a better day,” she said. “I think attitude is the greatest thing in the world.”

She’s not one to see challenges.

“You just never say, ‘I can’t do it.’ You just keep going, because if you sit down and feel sorry for yourself, that’s the worst you can do. You have to find something funny with life, that’s for sure. You have to find fun as you get older, because you can’t change it.”

It takes her no time at all to list her blessings: her daughters and her grandchildren.

“I’ve got lots of them and two lovely daughters, so I couldn’t ask for much more,” she said.

“Losing Harold and Edward so close together took a lot of starch out this old woman. But you remember the good times and accept the bad times. I hope when my time’s up, God says, ‘Take that woman and get her out of here!’” she laughed long and hard. “I hope I don’t get to a point where I have to be put somewhere.”

It’s heartbreaking to know what the unstoppable progression of her disease will mean — something she may no longer understand.

But she faces the future without fear.

“I used to be afraid, but not anymore. I live every day to the fullest. What comes next, I’ll have to take care of when it gets here,” Martin said. “At Harold’s funeral, Edward said to me, ‘It should have been —.’

I wouldn’t let him finish …”

Registration for the Walk to End Alzheimer’s begins at 9 a.m. Online registration can be done at www. alz.org/walk. Funds raised will be used to support local care and research to help stop this, the sixth leading cause of death. It is estimated that more than 1,000 people in Shelby County are currently afflicted with Alzheimer’s disease and that one in eight baby boomers will contract it.

Vectren extends hours, encourages assistance

DAYTON — In preparation for the upcoming heating season, Vectren Energy Delivery is extending its call center support hours for the month of October. October is traditionally a very active month for natural gas customers who are preparing for colder temperatures by reconnecting gas service or inquiring about energy assistance programs.

Currently, customers can call 1-800227-1376 and speak to a customer service specialist Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. In addition to the regular service hours, customer service specialists will be available Saturdays in October from 8 a.m. until noon. This year, customers also have the option of using live web chat for customer service assistance.

“It is important to increase our flexibility during this busy season,” said Colleen Ryan, president of Vectren A - Refers to Affiliated With PF - Refers to Parent Firm Energy Delivery of Ohio. “As we preClosing Dow Jones Industrial Averages: pare to enter the heating season, we This Week: 14,776.53 Change: -159.71 (Quotes courtesy of the Sidney offices of Edward Jones, Erroll Broud, often see higher than normal call volVance Stewart, Danielle Gilroy-Sielschott, DiAnne Karas and Andrew umes during regular business hours and are offering the seasonal Saturday Stewart, registered investment advisers.)

hours as a benefit to our customers.”

Beginning Nov. 1, income-qualified households are also encouraged to contact their local community action agency or the Ohio Department of Development at 1-800-282-0880 to inquire about a number of assistance programs, including the following: • Home Energy Assistance Program (HEAP): State and federal utility assistance dollars are available for incomeeligible customers. Households must fall within 200 percent of federal poverty guidelines, which would be about $47,000 for a family of four, to apply.

• Emergency Home Energy Assistance Program (E-HEAP): E-HEAP provides assistance once per heating season to eligible households that are disconnected or are threatened with disconnection. Households must fall within 200 percent of federal poverty guidelines to apply.

• Percentage of Income Payment Plan Plus (PIPP Plus): PIPP Plus calls for a qualified household to pay 6 percent of its monthly income for gas service throughout the year. To be eligible

for the PIPP Plus program, a customer must receive his or her primary or secondary heat source from a company regulated by the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio (PUCO), must have a total household income which is at or below 150 percent of the federal poverty, which would be about $35,000 for a family of four, and must apply for all energy assistance programs for which he or she is eligible.

• Project TEEM: Vectren’s Project TEEM (Teaching Energy Efficiency Measures) helps qualifying Ohio customers implement energy efficiency improvements to their homes at no cost. Households must fall within 300 percent of federal poverty guidelines, which would be about $70,000 for a family of four, to apply. Call 1-800617-2673 to learn more or visit www. cap-dayton.org.

I know that he is knowledgeable about the workings of government. I have seen that he has always been consistent in his ideas about job creation, business, taxes, marriage, right to life, family. He is a strong believer in the rights of the unborn and that marriage should be between one man and one woman. He is dedicated to working with businesses to reduce unneeded regulation. He pledges to work to improve job opportunities. Robert will work to defend the State and U.S. Constitutions. He applies Christian principles in his personal life and to all decisions he makes and chooses his goals with those principles in mind. He has the ability and the desire to make good decisions for the well-being of the people of Ohio and the United States.

Robert Luckey has proven that he is a good hardworking man that knows how to relate to all people, and that he is willing to fight with all his abilities to represent us in the way we expect. I am sure that we would see results with him as our Ohio State Representative.

Volunteers made it happen To the editor: We would like to express our appreciation to the Vets to D.C. Committee and all the volunteers who made the veterans trip to Washington, D.C., possible on Sept.

20-22. It was fantastic!! They served the vets in every way possible; they did a super job!

We also appreciate all the motorcyclists who escorted the buses out of Sidney and the students and people who lined the streets during the send-off on Friday morning. It was awesome!

We also appreciate all the students and volunteers who wrote letters to the veterans which they received during “mail call” on the buses.

Everything was truly appreciated. What a great and memorable trip!

It has been great to share the fun-filled experiences with all of you as I attended each of the four county fairs in the district. From the first fair in Shelby County, which started July 21, to the last fair in Darke County ending on Aug. 24, trips to the fairs have been made for over a month now and I enjoyed them to the fullest. It was nice to see my family, friends and constituents back home that honestly make the biggest difference in my life.

When you attend your local county fair you have the opportunity to catch up with old friends and learn about products from local friends in addition to enjoying high quality entertainment. The fairs provide an opportunity for me to connect with local residents and distribute a questionnaire.

That direct interaction with constituents allows me to get a pulse on the concerns of our com-

munities. One of the County Fair — The most impressive things report from the 4-H proat the fairs includes the gram was, no drama in many showcases from the barns.

I encourage everyone to stop by and visit their county fairs because they are a great place to gather together and show support for our local communities. The shows are great, the exhibits are interesting and the food is delicious. Yet more importantly, the fine people are what make it all happen.

Please inform me of your opinions on current topics by completing a survey at tinyurl.com/ buchysept. Thank you for staying in touch with me. Your feedback helps guide the legislative priorities and is appreciated.

Letters to the editor Schools should encourage children to report problems To the editor: In business we promote opendoor policies to make everyone feel comfortable talking about any issues or concerns they may have freely without retaliation. The Sidney Police and Shelby County Sheriff’s Office both rely on the community for information to solve crimes and ask people not to remain silent. For evil to exist, it only takes a good person to remain silent. But to my dismay, we are creating a foundation of silence and distrust of authority figures at the time of childhood development.

First, let me clarify that I am a strong supporter of our local school system and admire the job they do.

This should not be taken as a negative but as constructive feedback.

We always need to improve and when that area becomes evident we should address it. In grade school, when children in second grade see a boy who is very small for his age get beat up by two bigger third-graders, they should be taught to come to the teachers and inform them. Instead, they are ridiculed when they bring information of concern to teachers. The teachers ask the kids if they are just being tattletales. So instead of a little boy being saved from being beaten up, evil prevailed because of fear that the witnesses would be called tattletales and get in trouble.

This area needs to be addressed.

I understand kids sometimes tattletale on every little thing, but each concern or problem the kid brings to the attention of teachers should be met with openness and with sincerity of helpfulness. If we teach kids to remain silent in the foundation years, then when society relies on them to be a contributing member and to come forward at work to point out issues, or the police need help solving a crime that they have information on, they will be silent based on what they learned early on by people in authority role to them. This needs to be taught at home and reinforced at schools.

Really nice trip to D.C. To the editor: We would like to express our appreciation to AAA for the really nice trip to Washington, D.C. Sept. 9-13, 2013.

Mary Jo and Dave from AAA, and Edie and Dale from K&K Tours were the best.

The sites we saw included the Arlington National Cemetery, the Kennedy graves,

Changing of the Guard at the Tomb of the Unknown, Jefferson Memorial, Lincoln Memorial, MLK/FDR Memorial, World War II Memorial, Iwo Jima Memorial, Korean Memorial, Vietnam Memorial, Air Force Memorial, National Archives, the Smithsonian’s, Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, the White House,

Bureau of Engraving, Holocaust Museum, Ford’s Theater, Peterson’s House, The US Capitol, the Supreme Court Building, Library of Congress and the Washington National Cathedral.

The last day we went to Mount Vernon, and the highlight of this tour was Edie asking if a couple of veterans in our group could participate in the lay-

ing of the wreath at George Washington’s tomb. The other veteran in the group read a proclamation.

We made so many friends on this trip; it is a trip we will never forget.

We would definitely recommend this to everyone.

Don’t reward poor performance To the editor: Reflecting back to the Aug. 23 issue of this newspaper, has there been any significant improvement in the performance of Sidney City Schools? If I had taken home a report card with one B, five Cs, one D, and two Fs, I would still be on restriction — and there is no way I would have had the audacity to ask for a raise in my allowance!

Instead of rewarding the school district’s poor performance with increased tax revenue (the 1 percent school income tax) and an increased burden on our taxpayers, here’s a new approach - let’s reward the school district the same way I received an allowance: 1 mill for each A, .75 mill for each B, .5 mill for each C, .25 mill for each D, and -1.0 mill for each F.

Obviously that wouldn’t work because the schools would only have a 2.5-mill levy and they can’t make it with the 9.9+ mills they say they need now. A good compromise would be a return to a traditional property tax school levy at a rate commensurate with the school district’s performance – perhaps 5 mills.

Who is being obstructionist?

To the editor: As I write this, our nation’s government is still in “shutdown” even though 80 per cent of the government is still functioning.

The House has sent a continuing resolution to the Senate that funded the entire government but delayed the Obamacare employee mandate for one year. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has declared that the only bill from the House that he will allow to come up for a vote on the Senate floor will be a “clean” continuing resolution funding the entire government including Obamacare and has refused even to appoint senators to a conference committee to try to resolve this issue.

Barack Obama has stated that Obamacare is not up for negotiation. The Senate leadership has not scheduled any sessions to consider the piecemeal funding bills

the House has passed. In the near future Congress will be faced with the necessity of taking action on the debt limit ceiling. We will probably hear the same rhetoric, that “the Republicans want the nation to default,” in the same way the democrats trumpeted that the Republicans “wanted the government to shut down.”

In this particular instance, however, they make face an embarrassing fact: in May of this year Congress passed a bill entitled “Full Faith and Credit Act.” This bill, according to an article published by Joel Pollack on Oct. 5, would “prevent the government from defaulting by mandating that the Treasury pay the nation’s debts even after the debt ceiling is reached. There is enough federal revenue to cover these costs.”

Granted, the government would be forced to make some decisions

about what entitlement programs might be affected, but the fact is that the bill would prevent national default.

Why hasn’t this bill received any attention? Because Harry Reid will not allow the bill to be brought to the floor of the Senate for a vote, and Barack Obama has threatened to veto it.

At the heart of this dissension is one fact, one action of Barack Obama’s: he illegally granted the employers of this nation a oneyear reprieve on their portion of the Obamacare mandate. The Republican party is asking that the workers of this nation, people like you and me, receive the same reprieve. Is that so unreasonable?

Who is being obstructionist, and who is fighting for the people?

I read the information that the manufacturer provided about Xiaflex, and it convinced me that only an expert (a hand surgeon) should be having the discussion about possibly using this medication versus surgery. It is designed to dissolve the fibrous tissue.

My best advice is to seek medical attention if there is swelling in the palm of your hand, especially if the fingers are losing their nimbleness, because you have a family history.

DEAR DR. ROACH: Hi. I live in Eugene, Ore., and we have seen “stuff” wash up on our shores from the storm in Japan.

Now the nuclear waste is in the ocean waters. I am concerned about eating fish. I love it and think it’s good for me, but I also wonder whether eating fish could be bad for us, with all the poison in the water? I love salmon, cod and halibut, so I have a good reason to worry about this. — J.S. ANSWER: The damage to the nuclear power plant in Japan did cause the release of contaminated water into the ocean.

Fish caught off the coast of Japan in 2011 and 2012 did exceed recommend levels.

I personally wouldn’t recommend eating fish caught off the coast of Fukushima.

However, marine biologists have stated that fish caught more than 100 miles away from you should be safe.

DEAR ABBY: I’m a 15-year-old girl who’s involved with social media.

My parents have always been protective. A few days ago they asked me for the passwords to my Twitter, Facebook and email accounts. I understand they’re trying to protect me, but the fact that they don’t trust me by now is upsetting.

I tried telling them this, and they say they DO trust me, but they still want my passwords. Is this a contradiction? I need some independence, and they don’t

— LOSING MY MIND IN TACOMA, WASH. DEAR LOSING YOUR MIND: It’s not a contradiction if you read some of the news coverage on the Internet about young people who have committed suicide because they were hounded by cyber-bullies.

It’s not a contradiction if you consider that sometimes bad things happen at parties that aren’t properly supervised. If, God forbid, you should “disappear,” your parents — and the police — would want to know who had been communicating with you and what was said.

Please do not overreact to their concern. While it would have been better if they had given you a reason for their request, I doubt they’ll be reading over your shoulder. Most parents don’t spend a lot of time doing that unless they have some reason to mistrust their teenager.

Odds and ends CLEVELAND (AP) — Ohio fans of the Man of Steel now officially can have the Superman logo on their wheels.

A license plate with the iconic “S” insignia went on sale Monday. It features the phrase “Truth, Justice and the American Way.” The Plain Dealer (http://bit.ly/16ObUnA ) reports relatives of Superman creators Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster were on hand for the plate’s unveiling outside the Cleveland-area home where Siegel lived.

The plates cost $20, plus the standard registration fee of $34.50 or the typical $16.25 in fees to replace existing plates. Part of the fee goes to the Siegel and Shuster Society, which commemorates the men’s work.

A letter by Siegel’s daughter read at the unveiling says the men who created the comic superhero as teenagers in the 1930s would’ve been “absolutely thrilled” about the plates.

The Jackets finished the regular season with a 6-9-1 mark and now prepare for a tournament game a week from tonight at Fairmont.

Brady Gaylor had three of Sidney’s goals, including the first two that gave the Jackets a 2-0 lead at the intermission. His

first game on an assist from Ben McClain and the second on a penalty kick.

Greenville scored first in the second half, but Sidney took control from there.

Kyle Mann scored off an assist from Chase Lorenzo, and Blake Steenrod followed with a goal off an assist by Gaylor on a corner kick.

Luke Rees scored unassisted, McClain scored off an assist from Jordan Perkins, and Gaylor scored for the third time off an assist by Frank

Gonzalez.

The junior varsity also won 4-1, with three of the goals coming from Riley Kittle. Mamadou Kane scored the other goal.

Sidney Daily News, Wednesday, October 9, 2013

Sidney’s 4-2 start best since 2007 Ken Barhorst and Dave Ross Sidney’s impressive win Friday night put the Jackets at 4-2 on the season, and that marks the team’s best start since opening the 2007 season 4-1. That team, unfortunately, reversed that record over the final five games to finish the season 5-5.

The highlight of the evening for the Jackets last week was an outstanding performance turned in by sophomore wide receiver Darryl McNeal, who had 11 receptions for 192 yards and four touchdowns, all in the first half, after which the Jackets led 28-14. One of his scores went for 84 yards and came just 54 seconds after Troy had scored to cut the lead to 14-7.

His four TD receptions tie Mike Flanagan’s school record set against St. Marys in the 1970 season opener.

Quarterback Jordan Fox threw the four scoring passes to McNeal but he was one short of the school mark by Bruce Williams (1969). SHS football records can be found on page 19 of the printed program sold at home games. When programs are printed for the 2016 season, one Darryl McNeal might be a prominent name on that page. Likely his best is yet to come.

The Troy Daily News’ headline Saturday reflected how busy the Sidney cannon was during the 42-28 victory. It said the Trojans were “cannon-ized.” The cannon shoots once at the start of each game, twice following each Yellow Jacket victory, and once after each score, separately recognizing touchdowns and extra

points. That means there were 15 blasts last Friday. A week earlier the home team tallied 69 points, creating some 22 blasts. Vespa-QB cannoneer Don Mumford has been a busy man on his perch beyond the south end zone.

The Yellow Jackets now prepare for their annual tussle with rival Piqua, and though the Jackets are 4-2 and Piqua just 1-5, the local squad has its work cut out. Few would argue that Piqua is probably the best 1-5 team around. The Indians have played a tough schedule, losing by one to 4-2 Kings, by seven to 3-3 Lima Senior, and scoring a lot of points (34) against both 5-1 Springboro and (3-2 after forfeiting opening game win over Springfield) Trotwood. Current Sidney head coach Adam Doenges was an assistant during Sidney’s most recent win over the Indians, 35-7 at Piqua in 2009.

NWCC title game Though four weeks remain in the 2013 regular season there’s no doubt that the Northwest Central Conference champion will be crowned when Fort Loramie hosts Lehman on Friday. While both squads (5-1, 2-0) should make the playoffs, the winner of this game will also earn a home game to begin the playoffs on the first Saturday of November.

These two Shelby County entries are the only quality teams in the seven-school NWCC football setup. However, both Ridgemont and Upper Scioto Valley won two nonleague games to provide additional second-level computer point opportunities for Lehman and Loramie. The Cavaliers and Redskins both got a boost

Extra points from Minster’s 41-34 win over Anna (2-4) last week. Minster (3-3) started 0-2 by losing to that duo. Fort Loramie continues to get major computer help from Ada (5-1), whose only blemish came at Fort Loramie 14-8 three weeks ago.

Trotwood forfeits Trotwood’s season-opening game has been ruled a forfeit win for Springfield because of an academically ineligible Trotwood player. Rams AD Guy Fogle said Trotwood selfreported a possible rules violation to the Ohio High School Athletic Association.

The Rams, who have played in three straight D-II state title games, are 3-2 and will be hard-pressed to make the D-III postseason. Trotwood is No. 12 in this week’s Region 10 computer rankings. It’s the first victory for Springfield (1-5), which lost the game on the scoreboard, 49-6.

Ejection rescinded Former Sidney coach Kevin Fell (1988-89) almost stayed undefeated last Friday before Brunswick (4-2) tallied a late TD to win 40-35 over his Elyria squad (5-1). Five weeks earlier, Fell’s calm sideline demeanor was still present when he was ejected from his season opener which would trigger a two game suspension. He didn’t get excited because he knew the facts were on his side.

The officials cited Elyria with a sideline warning followed by a subsequent penalty and the ejection of the head coach.

However, the officials misapplied the rule and admitted so after the game, so the OHSAA

DETROIT (AP) — Max Scherzer escaped a major jam in relief and the Detroit Tigers — helped by two fans who reached out to try to reel in Victor Martinez’s disputed home run — rallied past the Oakland Athletics 8-6 on Tuesday to force a decisive fifth game in their AL division series.

Playing catch-up most of the way, the Tigers tied it first with Jhonny Peralta’s three-run homer in the fifth inning and then on Martinez’s solo shot in the seventh. A couple of fans attempted to catch Martinez’s drive, and at least one of them bobbled the ball as he reached over the railing above the wall — preventing right fielder Josh Reddick from having any chance at a leaping grab.

Reddick and center fielder Coco Crisp immediately protested, pointing up at the stands in the hope of a fan-interference call.

But umpires upheld the home run after a replay review.

Scherzer, making his first relief appearance since the 2011 postseason, had already given up a run in the seventh. With the Tigers ahead 5-4, he allowed a walk and a double to start the eighth, but after an intentional walk to load the bases, manager Jim Leyland left his 21-game winner on the mound.

Scherzer struck out Reddick and Stephen Vogt before getting pinch-hitter Alberto Callaspo to line out to center.

Detroit, which had no hits through the first four innings, added three runs in the eighth on a wild pitch and a two-run double

by Omar Infante that made it 8-4.

Yoenis Cespedes hit a two-run single in the ninth, bringing the potential tying run to the plate, but Joaquin Benoit struck out Seth Smith to end it.

The Tigers can now send Justin Verlander to the mound for Game 5 on Thursday night in Oakland. Verlander shut out the A’s in Oakland in the decisive fifth game of the division series last year.

Oakland hasn’t announced a starter for Game 5. It is Bartolo Colon’s turn in the

rotation, but rookie Sonny Gray could also come back on normal rest after a brilliant performance in Game 2.

Crisp had four hits and three runs for the A’s, who led 3-0 and 4-3 but couldn’t close out the defending American League champions. The Oakland bullpen hadn’t allowed a run all series until Tuesday.

After Crisp put the A’s ahead 4-3 with an RBI single off Scherzer in the seventh, Martinez lifted a fly to right against reliever Sean Doolittle. It would have been an extremely difficult catch for Reddick, and it looked as though the ball might have cleared the wall even without the fans’ involvement.

The defense is the main reason Cincinnati (3-2) is tied for the AFC North lead. The offense has scored only one touchdown in the last two games, but the defense is doing the rest.

“It’s definitely fun to watch that defense,” quarterback Andy Dalton said.

The latest notable accomplishment was stopping Brady’s streak of 52 straight games with a touchdown pass on Sunday during a 13-6 win over the Patriots. Brady had one of his worst games, and the Patriots were held without a touchdown for the first time in more than four years.

“Without a doubt, guys like that — when you play great quarterbacks, you’ve got to play great,” defensive end Wallace Gilberry said.

Even with top cornerback Leon Hall out because of a hamstring injury, they were great all the way to the stormy end. Kevin Huber’s 57-yard punt into a heavy rain backed up New England for its final possession.

Then the heavy rain turned heavier, making it difficult for players to see.

They had to keep blinking against the pelting raindrops, which was a huge help to the defense. The Patriots dropped several passes on their final possession, and Brady’s desperation pass was intercepted by Adam “Pacman” Jones inside the 5-yard line in the closing seconds.

After watching video of the final minutes on Monday, Huber noted that the weather played to Cincinnati’s favor once he got off his long punt.

“And then the skies open and they couldn’t complete a pass, so that was nice,” Huber said.

Brady finished 18 of 38 for 197 yards with an interception, four sacks and a paltry passer rating of 52.2.

Roethlisberger was 20 of 37 for 251

yards with a touchdown, an interception and two sacks. Rodgers was 26 of 43 for 244 yards with a touchdown, two interceptions and four sacks.

The Bengals knew the defense would have to play exceptionally well in order for them to get through their opening stretch of games with a winning record.

“When the schedule came out, I think I counted that we played 10 of the last 12 Super Bowl participants,” coach Marvin Lewis said Monday. “Obviously with that comes very good quarterbacks and generally experienced football teams.

They’ve been used to being successful.

“It’s great for the football team. It’s a great experience we’ve had for the home fans to see these three quarterbacks in action three weeks in a row, guys that have been MVP of the Super Bowl.”

The theme has been the same in all three games: Use their deep defensive line to get pressure up the middle, forcing the quarterback to throw quickly or run around trying to avoid a sack.

Either way, the offense gets knocked out of sync.

Geno Atkins sacked Brady on his first passing attempt, setting the tone for the day.

“On the second play, we got a sack right away on Tom,” tackle Domata Peko said. “And for the majority of the game, he was on his back. Every play, he needed help coming up off the ground.

When you do that to any quarterback — when you get in their face — they’re going to make mistakes.”

The Bengals play on Sunday at Buffalo (2-3), which plans to start Thad Lewis in place of the injured injured EJ Manuel.

Cincinnati should have everything in its favor against an inexperienced passer.

“You just have to be good at what you do,” Lewis said. “They’re going to generally look to play to their strength.

We’ve got to get them off schedule.”

NOTES: Lewis said Hall could return this week after missing two games. The defensive secondary has been thinned by injuries. “Leon was very close to being able to play last week, so barring any kinds of setbacks, we should have an opportunity to get a couple of guys back and be ready to go,” Lewis said.

HOROSCOPE

BY FRANCES DRAKE

For Thursday, Oct. 10, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Your idealism is aroused, and your interest in all things foreign is keen now. This could lead to a romantic relationship or friendship with someone from another culture.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Don't give away the farm today just because you feel sympathetic for someone. After all, you have to protect your own self-interest as well.

Beware of crocodile tears.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You might feel disappointed with a close friend today. Perhaps have to ask yourself if your expectations are realistic? Furthermore, did you express these expectations? (Unexpressed expectations almost always lead to disappointment.)

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Something confusing at work might affect your earnings or what people think of you. Be clear in all your conversations. If you think something fishy is going on, it is.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Romantic partners might feel disappointed today or jealous and suspicious. You should know that things are confusing and are not necessarily what they seem. Don't jump to hasty conclusions.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) If shopping for your home, you might be extravagant today. Remember that your credit card bill has to be paid. These items aren't as free as they feel.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) You might spend a lot of time daydreaming today. That's OK. Do not expect the impossible from others just because you fantasize something. This is the real world.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) You might be tempted to buy luxurious items today. Make sure you keep your receipts in case you have later regrets.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Don't expect loved ones to live up to an impossible romantic ideal at this time. You're involved with a real person who brushes his or her teeth just like you do.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) You might feel relationships are ending. But perhaps what is ending is your ideal of the relationship. The real world is not a Hollywood movie.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Be realistic in your expectations of friends today, especially in group situations. Or wait to see what they offer. This will help you to put things in perspective.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Be careful when dealing with authority figures today because you might be tempted to sell out in order to impress someone. Is this really worth it? What price is your integrity?

YOU BORN TODAY You are observant, insightful and articulate and often work in the arts. You're careful with money, and your judgment can be trusted. You're well-organized and an excellent problem solver. You enjoy the comforts of home and life's pleasures. Many of you work in the arts. Good news! This year might be one of the most powerful years of your life. Dream big!

Blood drives support cancer awareness

FORT LORAMIE — Fort Loramie Community Service Club is partnering with Community Blood Center (CBC) this October in support of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month with a community blood drive on Tuesday at St. Michael’s Hall, 33 Elm St., from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Everyone who registers to donate will receive the special edition “I Fight Cancer, I Give Blood” T-shirt.

Donors are encouraged to schedule an appointment online at www.

DonorTime.com or call 1-800-388GIVE The “I Fight Cancer, I Give Blood” T-shirt is gray and features the iconic pink ribbon, the international symbol of breast cancer awareness. The T-shirt is free to everyone who registers to donate at any CBC donor center and most mobile blood drives through Nov. 2.

National Breast Cancer Awareness Month is an annual international health campaign organized by major breast cancer

charities every October to increase awareness about the disease and to raise funds for research into its cause, prevention, diagnosis, treatment and cure. The campaign also offers information and support to those affected by breast cancer. Blood donors play an important role in the treatment of cancer patients, who are the largest group of people needing transfusions. Chemotherapy and other treatments have a harsh impact on blood cells. Transfusions of donated blood and blood products are vital to reducing complications and saving lives.

Visit the redesigned website www.GivingBlood.org for answers on how to make your first donation, organize a blood drive, or bring an education program to your school. Get all the updates in the CBC/CTS newsroom, find quick links to social media pages, or schedule your next appointment to donate by connecting to www.

DonorTime.com.

Donors are required to provide

Sidney royalty

a photo ID that includes their full name. Past CBC donors are also asked to bring their CBC donor ID card. Donors must be at least 16 years of age (16 years old with parental consent: form available at www.givingblood.org or at CBC branch & blood drive locations), weigh a minimum of 110 pounds, and be in good physical health.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) changes blood donor eligibility guidelines periodically.

Individuals with eligibility questions are invited to email canidonate@cbccts.org or call 1-800-388GIVE. Local blood drive opportunities include: • Oct 17 — Russia High School, 9 a.m.-1 p.m., student blood drive • Oct 22 — Moose Lodge, Sidney 11:30 a.m.-6 p.m., public blood drive • Oct 25 — Jackson Center High School, 9 a.m.-1 p.m., student and public blood drive

members on the fact that city employees are being trained in preparation for the winter months. The city is preparing equipment and making sure it has the necessary materials to deal with whatever winter brings.

Keifer used information from the Farmer’s Almanac to give council members an idea how the weather might be in the area this winter. He noted the forecast for the Lower Lakes area is expected to be “slightly milder than normal, near normal precipitation, below normal snowfall in most of the region.”

“Coldest periods mid to late December, early and mid January and in early to mid February.

Snowiest periods mid and late December and in late January,” Keifer reported.

For the Ohio Valley, the Farmer’s Almanac is predicting “colder and drier than normal, below normal snowfall. Coldest periods December, early January and early February. Snowiest periods early December and early March,” Keifer stated.

Keifer said it is the goal of the street department to provide “efficient” service to residents, businesses and visitors and “safety as the priority.”

Keifer said the street department plans to: *Complete salting of the city from a “dusting” of snow within four hours. *Complete plowing and salting from a two to four inch snowstorm within 12 hours.

It was noted that “each weather event and the

city’s response will be unique” depending on the time of day, the weather forecast and how serious the storm turns out to be. Other factors will include staff availability, equipment and the material available.

In order to make sure employees are well trained, the ninth annual Snowplow Roadeo will be held on Oct. 24 at Custenborder Field.

Shelby County Transit employees will be participating in the morning and snowplow workers will be trying the Roadeo course in the afternoon.

Keifer said the street department will be making sure that there is sufficient road salt available and they will monitor weather. There will be up to 15 employees that will handle a salting event and up to 25 employees will plow streets after it snows.

There are currently nine five ton dump trucks/spreaders/plows; seven one ton dump trucks/spreaders/plows; eight 3/4 ton pick up trucks/snow plows; two front end loaders, three back hoe/front end loaders, 10 push box snow plows; one skid steer tractor and two sidewalk tractors/spreaders with snow plows/snow blowers available in the city.

The city will prioritize plowing in the follow-

ing way including first addressing thoroughfare roads and other heavily traveled areas, police, fire and service center driveways and parking lots, roads around the hospital, roads around city schools, downtown area, steep roads and critical sidewalks.

Other areas that will have priority are collector streets that route traffic from local roads to thoroughfares and local streets and other roads.

City Manager Mark Cundiff reported that the “good news” is “we’ve locked in a….good (price) per ton for rock salt” for the roads. The cost for 2014 is $51.72 per ton with a total budget of $96,000. In 2013, the cost per ton was $62.95 with a total of 960 tons used and a $60,000 budget. In 2012, the cost per ton was $63 with 914 tons used and a $58,000 budget. In 2011, the cost was $64 per ton and 1,350 tons used and an $86,000 budget.

Keifer thanked Mayor Mike Barhorst, council members and city staff, noting the work of department superintendents as well as residents and Sidney businesses, the street department personnel and the personnel from other departments for their help in achieving the street department’s goals.

During the meeting, it was noted that Brown Park is having old playground equipment removed and new equipment is being installed.

It should take about a month before there is equipment back in the park.

Council members also expressed their thanks for the completion of the Wapakoneta Road work and are pleased with the appearance of the road following the work.

In response to a question in the City Manager’s newsletter regarding the Canoe Mobile, Council member Mardie Milligan told council members that there will be a dedication of a canoe at Tawawa Lake at the entrance to Tawawa Park on Oct. 10 at 5:30 p.m.

The canoe, which will be dedicated as “The Patrick Milligan,” in honor of the late Patrick Milligan, is going to be used by the Canoe Mobile program, which the Milligan family was involved with years ago.

The Canoe Mobile allows children with disabilities to experience going out on the water in large canoes that are built to allow those with disabilities to board them and spend time on the water. The Patrick Milligan will travel all over the United States.

In other business, the council heard that the Oct. 14 regular council meeting will include the reading of ordinances regarding weed and junk assessments, a public hearing on Fourth Avenue rezoning, resolutions for a shared services contract for Sidney Municipal Court, a replat of a Riverbend Park lot, a discussion of the adjustment of sewer and water fees, a discussion of utility ordinance amendments and an executive session regarding property acquisition.

The Oct. 28 meeting will include a presentation on the “Impact of (the) National Healthcare Act,” the reading of ordinances regarding the Fourth Avenue rezoning and utility ordinance amendments, the reading of a resolution regarding township contracts, a discussion on the water source and 2014 pool rates.
