Body found in NK creek NEW KNOXVILLE â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Auglaize County Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office is investigating the cause of death for man found in a creek north of New Knoxville Wednesday afternoon.

Sheriff Al Solomon issued a news release saying the office received a call from someone who had located a vehicle and a body in the creek located about one quarter mile north of the end of Industrial Park Drive in New Knoxville. The area is surrounded by agricultural fields and is heavily wooded. The caller located the vehicle and the body while walking in that area.

Deputies and detectives from the sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office responded, along with agents from the Bureau of Criminal Investigation and Identification Crime Scene Unit and the Auglaize

County Coronerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office. They were later assisted by the New Knoxville Fire Department. The body was transported to the Lucas County Coronerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office for an autopsy.

The identity of the man has not been confirmed, but authorities believe he is an Indian man reported missing since September. That manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s last know location was in the Auglaize and Mercer county area, and he had a history of suicide attempts and mental distress, according to the news release.

The preliminary results of the investigation do not point to any foul play being suspected, but a final termination cannot be made until the results of the autopsy are known. The investigation is continuing.

Preliminary investigation determined Austin was wearing a seatbelt, and alcohol was not a factor in the crash.

The crash remains under investigation.

Council deals with income tax, police radios RUSSIA — Russia Village Council members discussed village income tax returns for people age 65 and older and discussed police radios during their meeting Wednesday.

Village Administrator Rick Simon shared a sample letter with council members that will be sent to people age 65 and older regarding the mandatory filing requirement for village income tax returns. The returns are for the 2013 tax year for all residents over the age of 18.

Residents who are over 65 will be able to apply for an exemption from the filing requirement if conditions are met.

An application for the exemption will be sent

to those residents.

Simon reported that two Motorola portable radios had been purchased in March from McAfee Communications for the Russia Police Department. The radios were not used because police protection was contracted through the Shelby County Sheriff’s Office shortly after their purchase. The cost of the radios was $1484.36.

Village officials contacted McAfee Communications to see if they could return the radios, but they would not give a full refund because six months of the warranty had been used. The Russia Fire Department asked to purchase the radios at a

$300 discount. Council approved the sale of the radios to the department for $1,184.36.

Council members heard that Halloween trick-or-treat in the village will be held Oct. 31 from 6:30 to 8 p.m.

Simon told council members that he had been contacted by someone interested in renting the farm property owned by the village. Council agreed that because others have been interested in the property, they will take bids on the property.

Simon will advertise for the bids as soon as possible.

Simon told council members that the application for the Ohio Public Works

Mark Shappie reported televising of the sewer system has been finished. DKW Consulting did the work. He reported that the final bill is for $18,037.50 rather than the $11,175 originally quoted. The difference is the result of extra sewer pipe footage that was added to the project. He said the final cost agreed with the original quote of 250 line feet per hour and $150 per hour. Shappie will get prices on repairs for two leaks. Council approved the payment.

Simon reported the village’s contract with DP&L Energy will expire in May. The village is currently paying a rate of $.06570 per kilowatt-hour. The new prices from DP&L based on current pricing is $.06275 kwh for a threeyear contract extension.

The price would include a 3 percent discount for the contract with Miami Valley Lighting. Council asked Simon to bring a contract to the next meeting for approval.

Council approved a motion to adopt a sick leave policy for fulltime employees, which includes two hours sick leave per pay period, which would accumulate to a maximum of 240 hours. Accumulated sick leave will be paid at 100 percent or 240 hours maximum upon retirement.

Council declared an emergency, suspended the readings and approved an ordinance levying special assessments to pay a portion of the cost of the improvements made to West Main, Francis, Lynn, North and Cordonnier streets.

Shelby County Sheriff John Lenhart was present and gave a police report for the village.

Ohio sites reopen after government shutdown ends Dan Sewell Associated Press

CINCINNATI (AP) — Ohio sites closed during the partial shutdown of the federal government began welcoming back visitors Thursday, as relieved federal employees returned to work after a late deal was reached in Washington.

Visitor centers, restrooms and other areas at Cuyahoga Valley National Park in northeast Ohio were reopened, and doors opened to visitors at the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force in southwest Ohio.

A statement from the Cuyahoga park’s chief ranger said the Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad was also resuming operations. The Air Force museum at WrightPatterson Air Force Base had been open only one day since the shutdown began Oct. 1, and immediately resumed normal operating hours Thursday.

“We are excited to continue our vital mission of inspiring our youth and sharing the Air Force story with the world,” Museum Director Lt. Gen.

(retired) Jack Hudson said in a statement.

The Wayne National Forest in southeast Ohio said all employees were recalled and they had begun re-opening facilities to the public. Some campgrounds and trails won’t be open until Friday.

In downtown Cincinnati, federal offices began re-opening.

Renee Yankey, a federal alcohol and tobacco tax specialist, said she was pleased to be back on the job, although admittedly grouchy over lack of sleep.

“My big complaint is that they took so long to get this done,” she said.

She lives in Highland County, more than 50 miles east of Cincinnati, and needs to rise by 4 a.m. to get ready for work and make the drive. After staying up watching the final hours of Congress reaching a deal, she said, she got only about 4 hours of sleep before reporting to work at 6 a.m.

“I can tell that the alcohol industry missed us,” said Yankey, a federal employee for 25 years.

DUI video confessor seeks reduced sentence Andrew Welsh-Huggins Associated Press

COLUMBUS (AP) — An Ohio man who confessed in an online video to causing a fatal wrong-way crash after a night of drinking should receive a sentence well below the maximum of eight years to send a message about the value of taking responsibility, his attorneys argue in a court filing.

The attorneys for Matthew Cordle don’t ask for a specific amount of time, but say it should be below the maximum of eight years and below “a high range sentence.”

State law requires a sentence between two and eight years.

Cordle’s conduct after the crash suggests a long sentence is not needed for him to understand the seriousness of what he did, according to the filing late Wednesday in Franklin County court.

That conduct included Cordle’s decision to plead guilty as soon as possible without the usual months of back-and-forth court filings challenging evidence.

“A fair sentence is imperative in this case in order to send a message to other offenders and society that taking responsibility and trying to make something positive come from such a horrendous tragedy is an exemplary way to face such a tragic situation,” defense attorneys George Breitmayer and Martin Midian said in the filing.

Cordle, 22, pleaded guilty last month to charges of aggravated vehicular

Roger and Sandy Johnson, on a bus tour from Minnesota, visit the National Museum of the United States Air Force, Thursday on the day it reopened after the government shutdown ended.

Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau, which has a major office in Cincinnati, has affected new breweries, makers of new beers, importers and others who need permits and approvals.

“The first thing I hear is ‘I’m so glad I got a person on the phone!’” Yankey said.

Other businesspeople across Ohio have been concerned

about the extended federal agency closures holding up business startups, pre-employment verifications and real estate deals and mortgages.

Caven Risk of Brokers Real Estate Inc. in Sidney in western Ohio said inability to gain Federal Housing Administration approval of a home sale has left the owner

facing foreclosure and a sheriff’s auction sale that would hurt everyone involved, from loss of a deal for the agents to lowered property values for neighbors.

“It’s bad for everybody that this shutdown occurred,” Risk said. “Hopefully, now that the government is back in business, we can get this resolved.”

Jill Colyer of suburban Loveland and Robin Duncan of Golf Manor village, case workers at the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Cincinnati, had continued working because they are classified as essential employees. But they had faced working without pay starting this week.

“I was relieved,” Colyer said.

“I was worried about paying for gas to get to work, parking, how to pay for everything else.”

“It’s good that we’re able to get paid,” said Duncan. But she would have liked to have seen a longer-term agreement.

“Now we’re probably going to go through the same thing in January.”

Veterans are flocking to college as wars wind down

homicide and operating a vehicle under the influence of alcohol in the June death of Vincent Canzani of suburban Columbus.

Cordle’s blood-alcohol level was more than twice the legal limit of 0.08.

Cordle faces eight years for the homicide and six months for the drunken driving — which likely would be folded into the overall sentence — a $15,000 fine and loss of driving privileges for life.

Cordle’s online video confession, made against the advice of lawyers and released in early September, has been viewed more than 2.2 million times.

County Prosecutor Ron O’Brien, who has until Friday afternoon to respond, has said he plans to seek the maximum.

“I’ll be, at the time of sentencing, in a position of showing the kind of sentences given in this county for people that get large amounts of alcohol in their system and kill people, and it will not be a four-year sentence,” O’Brien said Sept. 18, the day Cordle pleaded guilty.

Cordle’s video confession begins with his face blurred as he describes how he has struggled with depression and was simply trying to have a good time with friends going “from bar to bar” the night of the accident. He then describes how he ended up driving into oncoming traffic on Interstate 670. Cordle’s face becomes clear as he reveals his name and confesses to killing Canzani.

He ends the video by pleading with viewers not to drink and drive.

TOLEDO (AP) — Adam Fisher isn’t your typical college freshman.

At 25, he’s older than most of his classmates. He’s married, too. And while most of his fellow students spent the past couple years in high school, Fisher was dodging bullets and roadside bombs in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Now a civilian, Fisher is trying to make the transition from the battlefields to the classrooms of the University of Toledo.

About two months into a new mission, he is far from alone.

Some 1 million veterans and their dependents have enrolled in U.S. colleges and universities over the past four years, according to the Department of Veterans Affairs.

This influx of veterans has come with the drawdown of U.S. forces in Iraq and Afghanistan and more generous financial incentives that generally cover a veteran’s tuition, housing and books.

Many veterans face an array of challenges in making the transition to college life.

Some are medical. Fisher, who heard the screams of a soldier burning to death and had a buddy die in his arms, participates in group therapy for post-traumatic stress disorder. He also has some hearing loss.

“It’s hard for me to be around so many people,” he said. “I don’t like it. It makes me feel very uncomfortable.”

Other challenges are academic.

Veterans often have to sharpen their math, reading and study skills after being away from school for so long.

They face cultural hurdles, too.

While many other freshmen are testing their independence after moving away from home for the first time, some of the veterans back in school are supporting a family, working evenings and weekends.

Veterans also must navigate the VA bureaucracy to ensure that their tuition and other aid, such as housing or disability benefits, are paid on time.

Now, increasing numbers of colleges and universities are taking concrete steps to help them make the transition, the University of Toledo among them.

Nearly 400 veterans, including Fisher, are attending class this fall at the school. The president, Lloyd Jacobs, a former Marine, said they “bring strength to our culture, bring strength to our university that’s unparalleled.”

The American Council on Education says about 71 percent of some 700 colleges and universities responding to a recent survey had an office or department dedicated exclusively to serving veterans.

Before the Post-9/11 GI Bill kicked in, a 2009 survey put that percentage at 49 percent.

About two-thirds had clubs or organizations composed of veterans, double from the 2009 survey.

Student Veterans of America, a coalition of student veterans on college campuses around the world, has branched out from fewer than 20 campuses to more than 880 in recent years.

Michael Dakduk, the group’s outgoing executive director, said colleges have adjusted to the wave of veterans by hiring people exclusively to serve them and their dependents. Schools also are establishing peer mentoring and tutoring programs. The extra resources give veterans the sense they don’t have to face the challenges of college life on their own, he said.

The VA has placed counselors on 92 college campuses. The counselors connect students to local VA medical care and help them apply for other benefits.

About 500 veterans attend school at Florida State University, an increase of about 40 percent from

the previous fall.

The school offers a class just for veterans called “strategies for veteran success.” It’s designed to boost their confidence and allows them to meet other veterans. The university holds a job fair for all students, but opens it up a day early for veterans on campus. It also allows students to defer many expenses, such as their books and meal plan, because of the time it takes to get VA payments processed.

Officials at Florida State and Toledo say they hope other students will learn from the veterans.

“They bring life experiences, they bring leadership skills, they bring discipline, they bring a maturity to the campus,” said Reinhart Lerch, communications director for Florida State’s student veterans center, which opened in 2011.

Toledo also opened its veterans’ center in 2011. It’s basically a onestop clearinghouse for veterans or their dependents. At Toledo, they have a go-to person in military liaison Haraz Ghanbari, a lieutenant in the Navy Reserve.

When Mick Grantham, 43, enrolled at Toledo after back and neck problems forced him out of the Army, he plowed through his savings waiting for his disability benefits to kick in. Ghanbari arranged for the local American Legion to provide Grantham with a $500 grant. He pointed Grantham to a job opening with the university’s grounds crew. He also nominated Grantham to be honored as the hero of the game at a recent Toledo football game.

Grantham is an example of the age and cultural divide that some student veterans face. He strongly believes his time in Afghanistan served an important purpose, and it has bothered him to hear some of the younger students criticize the war during his government studies class.

AG to crack down on veterans’ raffle machines Associated Press

COLUMBUS (AP) — Veterans and fraternal groups in Ohio began shutting down electronic raffle machines Thursday by order of the state’s legal chief who considers the devices illegal slots games.

Attorney General Mike

DeWine ordered the machines removed by Aug. 1. He had delayed enforcing a ban because lawmakers said they were considering legalizing the machines. But such legislation has not been introduced and DeWine issued the order Wednesday.

A letter from the head of DeWine’s charitable law

section to veterans and fraternal groups was first reported by The Columbus Dispatch.

Section Chief Peter Thomas wrote that DeWine wants to work with the groups but can’t continue delaying enforcement because of legislative inaction on the issue. He said those same lawmakers have placed restrictions on Internet cafes that DeWine supported. “(T)here are no longer legitimate reasons for this office to delay enforcement,” Thomas said.

The order came hours after veterans rallied at the Ohio Statehouse hoping to continue operating the machines, at least 670 of which are in use around the state.

“I just don’t understand it. We have to fight like this so we can take care of veterans and other people,” Bill Seagraves, head of the Ohio Veterans and Fraternal Charitable Coalition told the newspaper.

Veterans’ posts and lodges around Ohio have given some $5.4 million raised

through the machines to charitable causes in the past two years. They have threatened to sue in what has already been a lengthy fight.

In May, DeWine angrily rebuked a promoter of the video raffle machines who served as a liaison to Seagraves’ group, asking the businessman to retract statements DeWine said were a misstatement of his office’s legal position on the games.

that DeWine is “fully in favor” of the terminals and agrees they are legal — a statement DeWine said was not true. Smith described “many meetings” with DeWine and others to work out details for accepting the machines statewide.

Smith — a consultant to Charitable Management & Capital Group, the vendor of the machines that are pitched to groups like the Masons, Eagles and Moose — described the devices as “a raffle form of bingo” that’s legally allowed in Ohio.

In his letter Wednesday, Thomas said the attorney general hopes the ban on Internet cafes “will bring gaming dollars back to legitimate licensed organizations.” He said DeWine has been clear and consistent in his stance that the raffle machines “are slot machines and are prohibited under Ohio law.”

What’s for dinner?

Roasted toad!

LONDON (AP) — Britons sometimes make fun of the French for feasting on frog. But now a new discovery suggests their prehistoric ancestors may have had a taste for toad.

The University of Buckingham said Wednesday that a promising excavation near Stonehenge has unearthed a host of clues about the diet of prehistoric Britons. Among them: A tiny, partially burnt leg bone which suggests the hunter-gatherers living in what’s now known as the United Kingdom snacked on amphibians.

The charred bone was found alongside the remains of fish and aurochs — the wild ancestor of today’s cattle - at a site called Blick Mead in the town of Amesbury, about 85 miles (135 kilometers) west of London.

Natural History Museum and University College, London, researcher Simon Parfitt said that the dig had provided experts a glimpse of a Mesolithic menu that also included fish, hazelnuts, berries, deer, and boar.

He called the discovery of what appeared to be leftovers from a meal of roast toad “really intriguing.”

State TV: Syrian general killed BASSEM MROUE Associated Press

BEIRUT (AP) — One of Syria’s most powerful military officers was killed in fighting with al-Qaida-linked Islamic extremists in an oil-rich eastern province largely controlled by the rebels, Syrian state-run television said Thursday.

The fighting came amid

a new push to hold an elusive peace conference for Syria’s civil war, with the government proposing the talks start late next month, though there was no sign the opposition would attend.

Maj. Gen. Jameh Jameh was killed in the provincial capital of Deir el-Zour, where he was the head of military intelligence, state-run TV said. He was

the most senior military officer to be killed in more than a year.

The report did not say when or how Jameh was killed, only that he died “while he was carrying out his mission in defending Syria and its people.”

The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said Jameh was killed by a sniper bullet during clashes with

rebels, including members of al-Qaida-linked Jabhat al-Nusra or Nusra Front.

Jameh’s cousin, Haitham Jameh, told Lebanon-based Al-Mayadeen TV that the general was killed when a bomb exploded as he led his troops in an operation in Deir el-Zour, site of more than a year of clashes between regime forces and rebel fighters,

who control most of the province.

He was the most powerful Syrian officer to be killed since a July 2012 bomb attack on a Cabinet meeting in Damascus killed four top officials, including the defense minister and his deputy, who was President Bashar Assad’s brother-in-law.

That attack also wounded the interior minister.

1.8M-year-old skull tells story

SETH BORENSTEIN and SOPHIKO MEGRELIDZE Associated Press

DMANISI, Georgia (AP) — The discovery of a 1.8-million-year-old skull of a human ancestor buried under a medieval Georgian village provides a vivid picture of early evolution and indicates our family tree may have fewer branches than some believe, scientists say.

The fossil is the most complete pre-human skull uncovered. With other partial remains previously found at the rural site, it gives researchers the earliest evidence of human ancestors moving out of Africa

and spreading north to the rest of the world, according to a study published Thursday in the journal Science.

The skull and other remains offer a glimpse of a population of pre-humans of various sizes living at the same time — something that scientists had not seen before for such an ancient era. This diversity bolsters one of two competing theories about the way our early ancestors evolved, spreading out more like a tree than a bush.

Nearly all of the previous pre-human discoveries have been fragmented bones, scattered over time and locations — like a smattering of ran-

dom tweets of our evolutionary history. The findings at Dmanisi are more complete, weaving more of a short story. Before the site was found, the movement from Africa was put at about 1 million years ago.

When examined with the earlier Georgian finds, the skull “shows that this special immigration out of Africa happened much earlier than we thought and a much more primitive group did it,” said study lead author David Lordkipanidze, director of the Georgia National Museum. “This is important to understanding human evolution.”

In this photo taken Oct. 2, ancient skulls and jaws of pre-human ancestors are displayed at the Georgia National Museum in Tbilisi, Georgia. The discovery of an estimated 1.8-million-year-old skull of a human ancestor found below Dmanisi, a medieval Georgian village, captures early human evolution on the move in a vivid snapshot and indicates our family tree may have fewer branches than originally thought, scientists say. It is the earliest evidence of human ancestors moving out of Africa and spreading north to the rest of the world.

Panel: Discharge Marine captain in urination case QUANTICO, Va. (AP) — A U.S. Marine Corps panel is recommending that an officer be forcibly discharged for failing to supervise a group of snipers who posed for a video while urinating on the corpses of Taliban

fighters in Afghanistan.

The panel of three colonels issued its ruling Thursday against Capt. James V. Clement after a three-day hearing at Marine Corps Base Quantico. The panel found Clement’s perfor-

mance of duty was substandard. Two lieutenant generals will now review the recommendation and determine whether Clement should be given an honorable discharge.

The video widely viewed on YouTube

shows four Marines from Camp Lejeune, N.C., in full combat gear urinating on the bodies of three Afghans in July 2011. One Marine looks down at the bodies and jokes, “Have a good day, buddy.”

Budget From page 1A spending that have proven compromiseproof throughout the current three-year era of divided government.

A few hours after Obama placed his postmidnight signature on legislation ending the long political showdown, Vice President Joe Biden was at the Environmental Protection Agency to greet returning employees. “I hope this is the end of this,” he said, but he acknowledged “There’s no guarantees.”

That was a reference to the last-minute legislation that will fund the government only until Jan 15 and give Treasury the ability to borrow above the $16.7 trillion limit until Feb. 7 or a few weeks longer.

At the White House, Obama blended sharp criticism of Republicans with a plea for their cooperation over the remainder of the year and a call for less shrillness on both sides.

“Some of the same folks who pushed for the shutdown and threatened default claimed their actions were needed to get America back on track,” he said in remarks in the State Dining Room.

“But probably nothing has done more dam-

age to America’s credibility to the world. … It’s encouraged out enemies. It’s emboldened our competitors.

And it’s depressed our friends who look to us for steady leadership,” he said.

Obama said the public is “completely fed up with Washington” and he and Congress face hard work in regaining trust. It was a reference to public opinion polls that show the nation in a sour mood — though more inclined to blame Republicans than the president and his party for the first partial government shutdown caused by politics in 17 years.

Hoping to jump-start his own stalled agenda, Obama urged lawmakers to concentrate on three items in the coming weeks: a balanced plan to reduce long-term deficits, legislation to overhaul the immigration system and passage of a farm bill.

Polling aside, Obama’s party emerged from the three-week showdown in Congress united. All Democrats in Congress supported the legislation that passed Wednesday night to fund the government and raise the debt limit.

Not so of the

Republicans. Eighteen GOP members in the Senate and 144 in the House opposed the legislation, while 27 in the Senate and 87 in the House supported it.

The fault line separated tea party adherents from the balance of the rank and file. And there were clear signs the split was enduring, though not widening.

In Mississippi, where GOP Sen. Thad Cochran has not yet announced if he will seek a new term in 2014, the Club for Growth and Senate Conservatives Fund were not waiting to find out. They endorsed a potential rival, Republican state Sen. Chris McDaniel, as he announced his candidacy.

The groups are among several that have played an increasingly active role in Republican primary elections in recent years, several times supporting tea partyaligned challengers.

In some cases — Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas, for one — they went on to victory in the fall. In more, they lost seemingly winnable races to Democrats.

One survivor of such a challenge, Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, said during the day that the Heritage Foundation

is in danger of losing its clout as a reliable conservative think tank because of the actions of its political arm, Heritage Action.

In an interview on MSNBC, he said, “There’s a real question in the minds of many Republicans now. … Is Heritage going to go so political that it really doesn’t amount to anything anymore?”

Heritage Action played an influential role in the two-week political showdown.

In the days leading to the impasse, it was a strong backer of the campaign to demand that “Obamacare” be defunded in exchange for Republican approval of funding for the government.

And on Tuesday, as it was hosting a fundraiser at a high-end golf resort in Bandon, Ore., the group weighed in to oppose legislation that House Speaker John Boehner put together in hopes of retaining influence in the final negotiations over the impasse in Washington.

Yet another group, Americans for Limited Government, assailed Rep. Scott Rigell, R-Va., who voted for the legislation that reopened the government and raised the debt limit. Noting

that the measure had not defunded the health care law, the group said the congressman “owns Obamacare just as much as if it had been a vote to adopt it in the first place.”

In a statement issued on Wednesday in connection with his vote, Rigell said he was voting for the bill “given the lack of a viable alternative at this moment.”

Other Republicans have said for weeks that the strategy of demanding Obama kill off the health care law he won from Congress never had a chance of success.

“This was a terrible idea,” Sen. John McCain of Arizona said on CNN of the shutdown. He said it will not happen again when the next deadlines arrive — “I guarantee it.”

But in a party divided, there were dissenters.

“Obamacare is still fully intact, out-of-control spending continues, the debt limit is raised without addressing unsustainable spending, and only vague promises are left to address these key issues,” the Tea Party Express said in an online fundraising appeal.

Arts council to present Rich Little Gateway Arts Council will present comedian and impressionist Rich Little, performing his one man show, “Jimmy Stewart and Friends,” on Nov. 10 at 7 p.m. in the Sidney High School Auditorium.

Tickets cost $23 and can be purchased at the Gateway Arts Council, 216 N. Miami Ave., Ron Little & Nita’s on the square in downtown Sidney, or by calling 498-2787. Tickets for AAA members cost $22.

Little, known as “the man of a thousand voices” for his impressions of some of the biggest stars in Hollywood history, perform a loving tribute to one of the greatest stars of the last century. Little tells the life story of Stewart with an impression that brings

the beloved film star back to vivid life. Little also embodies more than 25 of Stewart’s famous friends, including George Burns, Ronald Regan, Cary Grant, John Wayne, and Katherine Hepburn.

Little has been famous for impersonating those more famous than himself for the better part of five decades.

In his early 20s, Little was discovered while working in the United States. His friend, singer Mel Torme, then on the musical team of CBS network’s “The Judy Garland Show,” asked him to make a tape. Instead of the usual impressions, Little did voices nobody did, including Alfred Hitchcock, Orson Welles, and Dennis Weaver.

Garland thought it was

great, particularly his James Mason, and Little was signed to the show.

Little has appeared on TV variety shows starring Ed Sullivan, Jackie Gleason, Glen Campbell, and Dean Martin, as well as on series including “Laugh-In,” “The John Davidson Summer Show,” and “The Julie Andrews Show.” Little also had his own variety show in the 1970s and was the star of the TV show, “KopyKats.”

Little was a guest host on “The Tonight Show,” 12 times. He quickly became a household name by sitting in one of the “Hollywood Squares” and went on to do the “Muppet Show.”

Named Comedy Star of the Year by the American Guild of Variety Artists, Little was the architect of nine comedy albums and three HBO comedy specials, as well as the Emmy award-winning specials,

“Rich Little’s Christmas Carol,” with “W.C. Fields” as Scrooge, “Humphrey Bogart” as one of the ghosts, and “Paul Lynde” as Bob Cratchit.

“It’s a privilege to welcome a show business icon and truly great man to Shelby County,” said Ellen Keyes, executive director of Gateway Arts Council. “Thanks to our donors and sponsors we are able to bring Rich Little to our county. We are beyond thrilled.”

Gateway Arts Council President Chris Gibbs said, “Our board of trustees is committed to booking and delivering high caliber talent for all our patrons at a price everyone can afford. We believe the arts are for everyone and bringing a quality entertainer like Rich Little to Sidney Ohio at a value price demonstrates that board commitment.”

Letters to the editor So-called reform of schools marches on ‪To the editor:‬ While the continuing resolution and debt-ceiling wars continue to threaten U.S. democratic process, and overwhelm the media, so-called corporate reform of our public K-12 schools marches on.‬ Candidly, idiotic state grading of schools is now again rumbling through our systems. The tragedy of these crude indexes is not just their shallowness and invitation to political manipulation, but being based on flawed testing data from the get-go. Last century’s still true digital maxim applies: GIGO — garbage in, garbage out.

But the reform movement has a more serious aneurism, it is rolling over our public K-12 systems lacking even a fraction of the systemic awareness necessary to actually reform anything.

Try to scope the complexity of our system of public systems; look for points of entry for real reform that do not harm its human resources in the process.

Editorial roundup The Associated Press

Excerpts from a recent editorial in a newspapers in the United States: Oct. 14 The Times, Gainesville, Ga., on space race: An American original passed away last week, a man who was a household name for a generation raised in an era when outer space was brought closer to earth and anything seemed possible.

Scott Carpenter, one of NASA’s original Mercury 7 astronauts, died Thursday at age 88. He was the fourth American in space and second to orbit the globe after John Glenn, who at 92 is the only surviving member of the group that included Gordon Cooper, Gus Grissom, Wally Schirra, Alan Shepard and Deke Slayton.

Those who read the book or saw the movie “The Right Stuff” know the story of a handful of gutsy, daredevil test pilots who willingly became America’s first guinea pigs in the space race with the Russians. They were “Spam in a can” with no assurances of survival amid the breakneck advancements that hurtled them into the heavens. And in the case of Grissom and many others since, lives were indeed lost in the effort.

It was a remarkable time in which a charismatic president welcomed a new era of modern marvels by promising to reach the moon within a decade, a bold challenge considering we had only begun to create the intricate technological systems needed for such a mission.

Letters to the editor Media promote absurd notion about abortion To the editor: An example of an oxymoron is the title of the AP article, “Rally pushes abortion rights, women’s health.” (Sidney Daily News, 10-313). When abortion became legal, insightful people knew women would be harmed physically and emotionally. Now, after a 40-year experiment on millions of women, we have statistical proof of the devastating effects: huge increases in abortion-related sepsis, perforated organs, hemorrhaging, suicidal tendencies, abuse and depression, to name just a few.

How anyone can seriously speak of abortion “rights” as women’s health is beyond me. The abortionloving demonstrators “waved signs attacking male leaders” whose goal is actually protecting women from the multimillion dollar abortion industry. In their gender-war mentality, they overlook the many prolife organizations run by women trying to save other women from abortion trauma. Many vocal pro-

life women have experienced abortion trauma themselves, or seen our friends’ reproductive health ruined by abortion or tried to counsel them through the years of emotional turmoil following abortion. We’ve also seen renewed life that comes from refusing abortion.

A female speaker at the recent Women’s Center banquet told of her refusal to abort as a single, teen mother, “Not only did I make a good choice … the right choice, I now realize that I made a choice that may very well have saved my own life.”

Men also suffer emotional consequences of abortions whether they wanted it or not. But if the ralliers want to talk about men assaulting women’s reproductive health, then talk about men using abortion (after using women) to avoid responsibility. Those women are left with hatred and anger which can only come from woundedness, and is sometimes hurled at peaceful pro-lifers, as seen at

October’s Life Chain. I literally cry for them sometimes, because they’ve experienced so much pain; just not the pain that “hurts so good” which is how healing often feels. It hurts to acknowledge our bad choices, but women find they can forgive themselves and those who forced their being violated on the surgical table. They discover that those who are pro-life have loved them all along.

While Obama’s administration funds big abortion business and orchestrates its selective shutdown including services to women; individuals and local groups such as Women’s Center-Sidney continue to provide real, individualized care that the government could never provide.

The media should stop propping the absurd notion that abortion is even remotely good for women’s health.

D.C. trip unforgettable To the editor: We would like to express sour appreciation to the 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 Arlington National Cemetery, Kennedy graves, changing of the Guard at the

Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. The following memorials: Jefferson, Lincoln, MLK/FDA, World War II, Iwo Jima, Korean, Vietnam, Air Force.

The National Archives, Smithsonian’s, Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, the White House, Bureaus of Engraving, Holocaust Museum, Ford’s Theatre, Peterson’s House, The U.S. Capitol,

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 veterans in our group could participate in the laying of the wreath at George Washington’s tomb.

be able to lay the wreath at George Washington’s tomb. The other veteran in the group read a proclamation.

Strong schools build strong communities To the editor: On Nov. 5, Sidney City Schools will place a five-year, 1 percent income tax levy on the ballot.

If passed, this levy will replace the expiring 9.9-mill emergency property tax levy and the 0.8 mill permanent improvement levy that expired in 2008. Sidney City Schools is not asking the community for more money. They are simply asking to replace current funding using a different collection method. Let’s face it — nobody likes to pay taxes. However, switch-

ing to the income tax method of collection allows the tax base to be more evenly spread among taxpayers. It is no secret that in the past, there has been public criticism concerning how Sidney City Schools was operating. And there are some that continue to criticize. But the district has undergone many changes to live within its means. They have made cuts and tightened the budget. I would encourage anyone reading this letter to visit sidneyschoolslevy.org to learn more. There is a wealth of

information located on this website that can assist in answering community member questions.

My children, along with all students attending Sidney City Schools, have great opportunities currently available to them. We need a yes vote to keep these opportunities alive. I believe that strong schools build strong communities. Please consider this when you cast your vote.

People should be more responsible To the editor: I am writing concerning the health care law. If they want to make a law, they should put people to work and not have babies right and left.

That’s where the tax dollars are going. The more children, the more help. I used to walk 2 1/2 miles to work almost every day and never got food stamps or free help. I had five children.

People would say, oh, I wouldn’t have any more children the way times are. This used to make me furious. For one, all women are different — regardless of color and origin; and two, the government wasn’t giving me any handouts. It’s like telling a wealthy person they shouldn’t buy a house. If that’s the case the government owes me a lot of money for the

Election letter deadline set

money I didn’t receive.

Seems like people put a person down for being more than responsible and this is wrong.

People feel sorry for people with children, but no one felt sorry for me because I was responsible. The world is never going to be better if people don’t help themselves more.

Also, people would say why don’t you get

your license? I always make it to work, thanks to my loving husband or my two feet. I know a lot of people who drive that don’t work. Just being responsible makes anyone feel better. I’m slightly over 50 and will always feel that way, but still l am hoping people will change and become more responsible.

But you are right to try to minimize the impact on your little girl.

Do not allow her to be caught in the crossfire of your anger and her mom’s defensiveness. While I, too, question your ex’s judgment in marrying someone she has known for only a short time, there is nothing to be gained by “spewing toxin.”

DEAR ABBY: I recently broke up with a man I had dated for more than two years. While we were together he gave me many

gifts of jewelry.

Yesterday when I was dressing to go out, I started to put on a necklace that went with my outfit, then hesitated because it had been a gift from him. I knew I’d be seeing him that evening and that I would be meeting his new girlfriend.

Would it have been OK to wear the necklace? Most of the things he gave me were animal-related because he knew I love animals. If someone asks me where I got it, as they often do, what should I say? I don’t want to jeopardize the friendship we have or my potential friendship with his girlfriend. — MIXED UP IN THE SOUTH DEAR MIXED UP: An appropriate answer would be, “It was given to me by a friend.” Your question implies that you decided against wearing the necklace that day, and I think you used good judgment.

Odds and Ends LOS ANGELES (AP) — A rare whale that has a dolphin-shaped head and saber-like teeth has been found dead on Los Angeles’ Venice Beach, even though it prefers frigid subarctic waters.

The roughly 15-foot-long female Stejneger’s beaked whale washed ashore Tuesday night, the Los Angeles Times reported. A truck hauled away the mammal, which was being examined at the Los Angeles County Natural History Museum to determine how it died.

HOROSCOPE

BY FRANCES DRAKE

For Saturday, Oct. 19, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You might feel tired today. In fact, for the past few days, you might have felt that everything was one step forward, two steps backward.

This will pass.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Your efforts feel stymied when it comes to pulling your act together at home to meet the challenge of visiting guests or the chaos of renovations and residential moves. It's as if you are walking in quicksand.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) No matter how strong your views are today, this is a poor day to try to coerce others to agree with you. The clarity of your viewpoint will be lost on others. It's as if your speech is muffled.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Be careful with financial matters today, because you might not see the whole picture. It's as if there is Vaseline on your lens.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Your efforts to move forward will get you nowhere right now. This baffles even you. Don't worry, because as Mars moves on, your strength and success rate will recover.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Beware of self-defeating behavior patterns today. It's easy to fall back into childhood reactions. As long as you're aware of this, you won't get into trouble.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) The steam has gone out of you when it comes to competing with others today. It doesn't seem to be worth it.

That's OK; let this pass.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Your ambitions are thwarted by others, either on purpose or accidentally at this time. Don't make a big deal about things. Accept them and move on.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) No matter how enthusiastic you are about a project, perhaps with school, publishing or medical or legal issues, you cannot make gains. Wait a week.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Disputes about shared property and inheritances are bogged down due to confusion, misrepresentation and deception. Just put things on hold for about a week.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) You might feel confused when dealing with partners and close friends right now. It's hard to know what they really want from you, and it's equally hard to know if you can deliver.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Don't strike out at others now. If you feel frustrated with someone, wait for a few days because you need more strength and focus to be successful.

YOU BORN TODAY You are lively, independent and ready to speak your mind. Sometimes it seems like excitement and stimulation virtually surround you. You are competitive, outspoken and aggressive about going after what you want.

You also are a loyal friend and family member. Good news! This year might be one of the most powerful years of your life. Dream big!

Lady Jackets blank Tecumseh to advance to sectional finals Detroit Lions’ Tony Scheffler catches a pass in front of Green Bay Packers’ A.J. Hawk (50) brings down Detroit’s Tony Scheffler during the second half of a recent game.

Hawk flying high for Packers GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — Linebacker A.J. Hawk took an offseason pay cut. He has been criticized by some Packers fans in the past for a lack of big plays or being a step slow.

Well, Green Bay is getting its money’s worth so far this year.

The eighth-year veteran has stepped up big inside and provided a steady presence on a linebacker unit ravaged by injuries heading into Sunday’s game against the Cleveland Browns.

He’s Mr. Consistency to coach Mike McCarthy.

“A.J. Hawk, he’s the same guy every day, and I think that’s a huge complement in a professional environment,” McCarthy said Thursday. “I would hope that I would be viewed that way when my time’s over.”

That even-keeled approach may be a reason why Hawk agreed to what amounted to a three-year, $7.25 million pay cut off the five-year, $33.75 million deal he signed in 2011. He didn’t care about how he would be perceived on the outside. He’s comfortable in Green Bay. The indentation on the bridge of his nose, imprinted from his helmet after all these years making tackles at Green Bay and at Ohio State, is proof of his experience.

Hawk has the benefit of perspective. When told that a teammate thought that he was overlooked, Hawk responded to reporters in the locker room, “Nah. I think that’s a pretty arrogant way of thinking if you’re anybody.

“The truth is we all won the lottery here, man,” he said. “You guys, us, we got a pretty good deal going here. We get to play football for a living so (no), I never sat there and thought ‘woe is me’ or ‘poor me’ for a second.”

Through five games, Hawk has 42 tackles and three sacks — all three coming in last week’s gritty 19-17 win over the Ravens.

The sacks were a career high in one game for Hawk, who came up clutch when Green Bay was without fellow inside linebacker Brad Jones and pass-rushing specialist Clay Matthews on the outside.

Matthews (thumb) is likely out for a few more weeks, while Jones’ availability for Sunday doesn’t look promising after not practicing so far this week.

Outside linebacker Nick Perry is out now, too, after suffering a foot injury in the Ravens game.

And to make matters even worse, Mike Neal, who had stepped in for Matthews, missed the first two days of practice this week with a bruised shoulder. That leaves rookies Andy Mulumba and Nate Palmer on the outside for now, with thirdyear pro Jamari Lattimore starting inside next to Hawk.

Mulumba had four tackles last week, while Lattimore had three, including two for losses.

“You can’t sit here and feel sorry for yourself and really ask why,” Hawk said, “especially with the numbers of guys we have going down. But (you’ve) got to just keep rolling and try to trust whatever training, what your plan is.”

Some of Hawk’s success this season can be attributed to the improved play of the defensive line. The unit has tightened against the run, ranked third in the league in allowing just 78.2 yards per game.

“We take pride, the big fellas up front, to stop the run,” said 340-pound defensive tackle Ryan Pickett.

He’s just as happy that Hawk is getting recognition. Pickett, who also went to Ohio State, said Hawk does a lot of “dirty work” that doesn’t always get recorded on the stat sheet.

The Sidney High girls broke away from a scoreless deadlock at the half and went onto beat visiting Tecumseh in Division I Sectional soccer action Thursday at the high school.

The semifinal victory puts the Lady Jackets, the No. 8 seed, into the sectional championship game Monday at 7 p.m. against second-seeded Centerville.

The game will be played at Northmont, and Sidney will take a 9-4-5 record into the contest.

“We had some runs in the first half, but we couldn’t capitalize,” said Sidney head coach Stacey Goffena. “We had trouble finishing again, but we still played pretty well.

We were able to open it up in the sec-

ond half a little bit, and they didn’t have many opportunities.

They only had one shot in the second half so we definitely dominated.”

The go-ahead score came just two minutes into the second half when Kara Burns scored off an assist by Ashley Egan.

With 30 minutes remaining, Lauren Boyd made it 2-0 when she scored on a free kick. Then just one minute later, Erin Ivey made it 3-0 off an assist from Emily Wiesenmayer.

“Tecumseh was pretty aggressive and we were able to match that,” said Goffena.

Lady Rockets reach D-III sectional championship BROOKVILLE — The Anna Lady Rockets advanced to the Division III Sectional championship game Thursday with a victory over New Lebanon Dixie in high school volleyball action at Brookville.

The Lady Rockets won the first two games 25-15, 25-20, lost 22-25, then won the fourth game 25-8 to reach the championship game Saturday at 2:30 against Miami East, which beat Northeastern Thursday in the other semifinal.

Anna is the No. 3 seed and Miami East No. 2.

“We had a lot of different

girls contribute tonight,” said Anna coach Kelli Barhorst.

“And some reserve players saw the court tonight, which was good. We played well the first two sets, but I htink we lost out focus and discipline in the third. But the girls really came back strong in the fourth set. I think we’re starting to peak at the right time.”

Megan Fogt had 14 kills, Rachel Noffsinger 13, Sarah Steinbrunner nine and Chloe Egbert six for the Lady Rockets.

Haley Steinbrunner had 47 assists in the match, and Mackenzie Wells 36 digs.

Haley Steinbrunner added 15 digs, Paige Richard 13 and Sarah Steinbrunner 10.

Lady Cavs cruise 10-0 in sectional semfinals No. 2 - ra n ke d Lehman breezed to an easy victory in its first taste of Division III Sectional Tournament play, shutting out Triad 10-0 in semifinal girls soccer action at Lehman Thursday.

The Lady Cavs, the top-ranked team in the Miami Valley Coaches poll, go to 14-1-1 on the year and get a rematch with Miami East Monday in the sectional finals at 7 p.m. at Fairborn.

Miami East, seeded third, owns the only win over the Lady Cavs this season, a 2-1 verdict back on Sept. 24 at East, but the Lady Vikings were nearly the victim of a huge upset Thursday in tournament play.

They scored on a direct free kick with 3:52 remaining in the second overtime to get past the Botkins Lady Trojans, the No. 9 seed.

Lehman coach Tony Schroeder knew his team would have an easy time with Triad, which ended the season 0-17.

“We started out with every goal needing to be scored on a cross,”

Schroeder said. “We did not play our varsity girls much at all.

Madeline Franklin only played a minute and 30 seconds. It was 6-0 at the half and we put some of the varsity girls in for about five minutes to start the second half and scored two goals. Then we got them right back out.

“I give the Triad girls a lot of credit for sticking with it this season,” he added.

“And they hustled and played hard right to the end.”

Ashley Keller registered a hat trick for the Lady Cavs, scoring the first goal of the night, then adding another in the first half and the first goal of the second half.

Elizabeth Edwards, Lauren Goettemoeller, Kaitrin O’Leary and Liz Pax all had goals in the first half for the 6-0 lead. Assists came from Jenna Kronenberger, Keller, Sara Fuller and Hannah Fogt.

In the second half, after Keller’s goal, Fogt, O’Leary and Madison Cline all scored.

Assists in the second half were recorded by Fuller, Marla S chroeder, Goettemoeller and O’Leary.

“It was good to get that first game out of the way,” Schroeder said. “It sets up our game with Miami

East. The girls remember the first game and we’re hoping to come out on the better end of the deal this time. It will be the third year in a row we’ve played them in the sectional.”

Botkins, meanwhile, finishes the season at 5-7-5.

• Lehman’s junior varsity team played Piqua on Saturday and won 3-0.

Scoring goals for Lehman were Kate Hemm, Alexis Grise and Liz Pax. Assists came from Kaitryn O’Leary and Emily Reinhart.

Sidney Daily News, Friday, October 18, 2013

Browns trying to fix third down issues BEREA, Ohio (AP) — Like a mathematician, Browns defensive coordinator Ray Horton loves to crunch numbers.

And like a proud father bragging about his kids, Horton spends a portion of his weekly news conference rattling off statistics that support how well Cleveland’s defense has been playing under him this season.

One stat, though, is keeping him awake at night.

“If we could fix the dog-gone third downs,” he said, smiling to reporters. “You guys wouldn’t ask me a question.”

And the Browns might not have three losses.

Despite leading the NFL by giving up just 4.4 yards per play, the Browns are ranked 29th on third down, allowing opponents to convert 44.1 percent of their chances. It’s been an issue most of the season, but Cleveland’s third-down deficiency was especially glaring last week as Detroit converted 6 of 7 third-down opportunities in the second half and the Lions outscored the Browns 24-0 after halftime in a 31-17 win.

It’s a new phenom-

enon for Horton, whose defense in Arizona last season was second in the league in third-down efficiency. The previous season the Cardinals were first under Horton.

This week, Horton analyzed all 93 third-down plays this season to find a common denominator, hoping to pinpoint the reason why the Browns are allowing team to continue drives. He found that there’s not just one.

“You look at all the third downs, the major area of concern to me is third-and-four to third and nine,” he said. “We’re grossly deficient in getting off (the field). I look at every call. It’s a great balance of zone and man.

I look at the plays that are bad, meaning why do we not win? I keep saying it’s us. It’s not the other team. Nobody’s shocking us by coming out and running some revolutionary new offense.

“It really comes down to us and that’s what we’re focusing on is us being more focused on our detail, and that seems to be the major thing when I look at it.”

Browns linebacker D’Qwell Jackson is equally perplexed by

the Browns’ struggles on third down. After all, Cleveland, which plays at Green Bay this week, is ranked seventh in total defense and the Browns are just one of three teams to rank in the top 10 in rush defense, pass defense and total defense.

It doesn’t add up.

“I don’t know what it is,” Jackson said. “First and second down, we’ve developed a reputation of stopping the run and we have a saying: ‘You earn the right to rush the passer, playing well on first and second down.’

Third downs? I don’t know what it’s been but we have to improve in that area. If you look at us from top to bottom in terms of yards per play, we’re probably one of the top defenses in the league, but third down has been something we definitely got to improve on.

“We’re going to work on it. We’ve been harping on it the last few weeks and if we bring that number down, I think we move up and we can create more opportunities for our offense.”

Horton described the Browns as being “grossly deficient” on third down

overall, but it’s been their struggles in the second half of their three losses that make the numbers even more alarming.

The Browns allowed Miami, Baltimore and

Detroit to convert 70 percent (16 of 23) of their third-down chances after halftime.

“It’s just executing,” cornerback Joe Haden said.

“We’ve just got to make

sure we’re a little more locked in.”

That will be vital on Sunday against the Packers, who are converting just 38 percent on third down but have quarterback Aaron Rodgers, one of the game’s most lethal passers.

“This dude can really make every throw,” Haden said.

Defensively, the Browns have made major strides under Horton, who believes the team will benefit from the return of outside linebacker Jabaal Sheard. One of the team’s most versatile players, Sheard missed three games with a sprained knee. He gives Horton more depth and will allow him to keep fresh bodies on the field for every down.

Especially third.

NOTES: Browns RB Willis McGahee didn’t practice because of his cranky knees, but a Browns spokesman said it shouldn’t prevent him from playing Sunday. Since signing McGahee last month, the Browns planned to give him days to rest his surgically repaired knees. … Browns DE Billy Winn remains sidelined with a quadriceps injury.

Anna runner also All-County thus making her ineligible for all-league honors.

That means that Anna’s Bonnie Altstaetter is All-County after her performance in the league meet Saturday, and she was left out of the coverage in Thursday’s edition.

In past years, the County meet included a varsity race with each team’s top seven runners, and also a junior varsity race.

In recent years, the varsity and junior varsity races have been combined, but only the varsity runners for each school are eligible for all-league honors.

Altstaetter

In the story Thursday about the AllCounty cross country team, Russia’s Shae Goubeaux was listed as making the second team.

Even though she finished in the top 14, which determines all-league, she was a reserve runner for the Lady Raiders,

NASCAR suspends crew chief DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — NASCAR has indefinitely suspended Todd Parrott, the crew chief for Sprint Cup Series driver Aric Almirola, for violating its substance-abuse policy.

NASCAR announced its decision Thursday against Parrott, who works for Richard Petty Motorsports. The substance was not identified.

“We have an expectation of all RPM employees to conduct themselves at the highest level of professionalism and within the competitive confines as set

forth by NASCAR,” said Sammy Johns, RPM’s vice president of operations and competition. “We are very disappointed that one of our employees did not meet our expectations and we completely support NASCAR, their policies and final decisions when it comes to the substance abuse policy.”

Johns will handle crew chief duties for the No. 43 Ford this weekend at Talladega and until further notice.

Parrott was the longtime crew chief for Hall of Fame driver Dale Jarrett

when Jarrett was at Robert Yates Racing. He guided him to two Daytona 500 victories, in 1996 and 2000, and wins at Indianapolis Motor Speedway in 1996 and 1999.

The duo also paired to win the 1999 Cup championship. Parrott also developed many of NASCAR’s future crew chiefs, including Mike Ford, Jimmy Elledge and younger brother, Brad.

The No. 43 car at RPM has never participated in any NASCAR programs affiliated with alcohol, dating back to

seven-time champion Richard Petty’s days as a driver. Petty’s mother made the request, since she was against alcohol and banned substances.

As a result, the car doesn’t participate in beer-sponsored contingency programs and didn’t run in the exhibition opening race of Daytona Speedweeks when it was sponsored by Budweiser.

The No. 43 also does not participate in the Coors Lite pole award program in NASCAR.

DR. WALLACE: What happens to kids who run away from home and are caught by the authorities?

Are they taken to jail?

Do they have a criminal record? I’m not planning

My friend is only 14 years old, and her mom refuses to believe this is happening. —Nameless, Providence, R.I. NAMELESS: I’m so sorry to hear about your friend’s terrible dilemma.

Too many teens are caught in such situations and feel they have no recourse but to run away. Sadly, this is never the right choice.

The Shelby County United Way Women’s Initiative, POWER, along with Sidney’s Parks and Recreation Department dedicated the new Born Learning Trail in Tawawa Park on Wednesday morning. Children from the Y Child Development Center and Wilma Valentine Creative Learning Center joined in to officially mark the opening of the Trail.

“The Born Learning Trail is a series of 10 signs each including activities such as identifying shapes, numbers, and colors, rhyming, hopscotch and telling stories,” said Jana Potts, enhanced giving coordinator of the Shelby County United Way. “Research tells

tor of the Shelby County United Way expressed thanks to the individuals and businesses who also supported the project.

“Our sincere thanks to Sidney Electric Company, Lochard Inc., and Jason Weigandt Landscaping for providing materials for this project,” said Barr.

The Miami Valley Boy Scout Troops 95 and 97 were also acknowledged for the site work they provided in construction of the Trail. Erik Collier, a senior at Lehman Catholic High School, contributed his artistic talents for the Trail.

“The Born Learning Trail is a fantastic addition to the Geib Pavilion area,” said Duane Gaier,

parks director for the city of Sidney. “The Recreation Board and parks staff are pleased to be part of this new feature in Tawawa Park.”

As part of United Way’s focus on education, the Born Learning Trail is a tool that helps parents and caregivers provide opportunities for everyday learning in a fun, outdoor environment. Local preschool and childcare centers can use the Trail as a field trip. The online site, www.ning.org, is an additional resource that provides families with information about how to turn everyday activities into learning opportunities for young children.

Although runaways are not charged with a crime (and if they are under 18, they’re returned to their parents or guardians), running away usually plunges them into far more trouble than they were having at home. Runaways with no resources of their own are prey to all manner of predators on the road. Your friend has recourses for ending the sexual advances that are far less drastic than running away from home. These involve alerting someone in authority
