Ohio and North Carolina drew a line on the tarmac Thursday in the fight over who was first to make a powered airplane flight.

Ohio license plates proclaim the state is the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Birthplace of Aviationâ&#x20AC;? while North Carolina tags say the state is â&#x20AC;&#x153;First in Flight.â&#x20AC;? Connecticut believes both are wrong.

There, Gov. Dannel P.

Malloy signed a law this summer saying German-born aviator and Bridgeport, Conn., resident Gustave Whitehead was the first to make a powered flight.

The state went on record saying Whitehead made his flight in 1901 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; two years before Wilbur and Orville Wright lifted off on North Carolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Outer Banks. The brothers were from Ohio.

On Thursday, Ohio state

Rep. Rick Perales and North Carolina state Sen. Bill Cook held news conferences in their respective states to dispute Connecticutâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s action and reassert that the Wright Brothers were first. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to protect the truth,â&#x20AC;? said Cook, whose district includes the Outer Banks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nowadays it seems like there are an awful lot of people who are trying to rewrite history.â&#x20AC;?

â&#x20AC;&#x153;If the Connecticut legislature hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t changed the law to acknowledge Whitehead as the first in flight, I think we would have just let it slide,â&#x20AC;? said Perales, whose district includes Huffman Prairie, where the Wright Brothers had a hanger and tested their planes.

Recent interest in Whitehead came as a documentary

Sidney Daily News, Friday, October 25, 2013

Board member questions training expense tioned whether those attending the seminar would return with only a certificate to hang on the wall.

Ankney was told by Brooke Gessler, Sidney City Schools curriculum director, that the seminar will teach educators how to “adapt to (an) everchanging atmosphere in order to effect change.”

Gessler said the seminar would teach educators “how to conduct discussions” with others in the district, and after the seminar, it was noted that those attending would then share what they learn with teachers.

Gessler, who is in her first year as curriculum director with the district and has 13 years experience in education, told the Sidney Daily News that the seminar is for all building principals, the athletic director and other leaders in the district. Fifteen school employees will take the seminar, which will be given on Dec. 3-4 and Jan. 15-16. The seminar is being paid from the school’s curriculum budget. Gessler said the $15,750.32 “covers two

Adaptive Schools Seminar trainers, their travel and lodging expenses for the two separate trips they are making from Illinois.

The cost also includes training materials and a resource book for the district’s administrative participants.”

Gessler said the educators taking the seminar need to take it “to give them strategies” as well as teaching communication skills.

Superintendent John Scheu told Ankney, “I’m hoping that principals will gather skills to become more effective leaders” during the seminar.

The expense was approved by the board.

Bill Warner, a member of the Sidney City Schools levy committee, gave an update on plans for the upcoming levy vote and told board members, “The Citizens for Sidney Schools Levy cochairs continue work for the Nov. 5 ballot proposal for the five-year, 1 percent traditional income tax levy to replace the expiring 9.9-mill property tax.”

“Within the past two weeks, we have made a

targeted mailing to the senior community and an informational card has been sent to every household in the school district. We appreciate the continued support of the Sidney Daily News for their publishing of our weekly question-andanswer,” Warner said.

Warner said there will be two public information meetings about the levy this week. One was held Wednesday at the Sidney-Shelby County YMCA and the other was Thursday at Amos Memorial Public Library.

Levy committee members are asking those who have yard signs supporting the levy to display them. Replacement signs can be obtained by calling the Board of Education office at 497-2200 or Warner at 498-0763.

Warner said that the public can obtain information on the levy by going to sidneyschoolslevy.org and they can call levy co-chairs for information.

Warner noted that the levy co-chairs are available to speak to organizations. The co-chairs are Renee Davis, 937-6222146; Dave Rose, 726-

Ankney said he had a “problem” with paying out more than $15,000 for the seminar, asking, “what do you have to show” for the seminar.

“That’s $15 grand being spent … how are you going to measure learning something (at the seminar)? Otherwise, we’re throwing $15 grand away.” Ankney ques-

A retired teacher and EMT who happened to be substitute teaching Thursday was at the right place at the right time when someone suffered cardiac arrest.

Scott Roddy, a retired teacher and emergency medical technician, was substitute teaching at Sidney High S chool, and during the Roddy lunch hour, substitute cook Pat Heath suffered cardiac arrest while working in the kitchen, according to Superintendent John Scheu.

Roddy administered CPR to Heath and brought her “back to life,” Scheu said.

4 charged in 6-state jobless swindle

Associated Press

CLEVELAND (AP) — A federal grand jury in Ohio has indicted four men on charges of using stolen identification and phony companies to defraud six states out of more than $361,000 in jobless benefits.

The 33-count indictment was announced Thursday against Darnell Nash, Kennard Berts and Justin Davis of Cleveland Heights and Dwayne Buchannan Jr. of Cleveland. They range in age from 20 to 29.

The charges include mail fraud, money laundering and aggravated identity theft.

Prosecutors say the four used stolen IDs and phony companies to swindle unemployment benefits in California, Ohio, North Carolina, Texas, Indiana and Kansas.

No phone listing could be found for the defendants and no attorneys were listed for them in court records.

Senators promote help for veterans, convicts

COLUMBUS (AP) — An Ohio death row inmate who killed himself just days before his execution called his suicide inevitable in a three-page note and expressed resentment that Cleveland kidnapper Ariel Castro got a life sentence, according to a police report released Thursday.

The inmate, Billy Slagle, also called his nearly three decades in prison torture and said he was taking his destiny into his own hands, according to the State

Highway Patrol report.

“It is perfectly clear that I have committed suicide by hanging myself,” the note begins, according to the report.

A summary of the note continues with Slagle mentioning being executed despite opposition from his family, his victim’s family and Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Tim Slagle McGinty.

“In this letter, Slagle gives details of what to do with his body and his property, claims Ohio had no mercy on him, talks about his

Bill proposes drug testing of lawmakers

COLUMBUS (AP) — A former Ohio doctor accused of killing a pregnant woman last year by injecting her with heroin after she answered a Craigslist ad pleaded guilty Thursday in her death and that of her nearly full-term unborn child.

Ali Salim entered the pleas in Delaware County Court north of Columbus ahead of his trial scheduled for next week. He faces 37 years in prison at a December sentencing.

Salim, 44, pleaded guilty to two counts of involuntary manslaughter in the deaths of Deanna Ballman and her unborn daughter, who was

to be named Mabel Lilly. Ballman, 23, was nine months pregnant when she died.

Salim also pleaded guilty to tampering with evidence and abuse of a corpse. He also entered a type of guilty plea to a charge of rape under which he maintains his innocence but acknowledges prosecutors had enough evidence to convict him.

The tampering with evidence charge alleges Salim erased photos and video of Ballman from his phone, though the images were later recovered by investigators, said Kyle Rohrer, assistant Delaware County Prosecutor.

The guilty pleas avoid any uncertainties from a trial and gave Salim the chance to take responsibility in court, Rohrer said.

Portman urges stop to ‘Obamacare’

COLUMBUS (AP) — A Democratic state lawmaker has introduced a bill requiring drug-testing of Ohio’s lawmakers.

The Dayton Daily News reports the proposal has the same goals as a bill requiring similar testing of welfare recipients.

Sen. Nina Turner, of Cleveland, says if people getting welfare need to be tested for illegal drugs, then so do members of the state Legislature.

Under the proposal, lawmakers would be screened for exhibiting signs of drug abuse once each year — or more often if selected during four random drawings each year.

Lawmakers who test positive would be removed from any office or chairmanship and not get paid until they test clean, plus be required to complete a drug and alcohol abuse program.

A similar proposal died last session in the Republicandominated Legislature.

Teen accused of trying to kill parents HAMILTON (AP) — A 16-year-old Ohio boy was arrested Thursday on juvenile charges of attempted murder and arson after authorities say he tried to kill his parents by setting their house on fire as they slept and tying their bedroom door shut.

Butler County Sheriff Richard Jones said he’s recommending that prosecutors elevate the charges to adult court, saying the teen admitted to trying to kill his parents and had detailed plans in a journal of how he would do it.

“It was cold and calculated,” Jones said. “He admitted to doing it and he has no remorse whatsoever.”

Deputies responded to a fire late Wednesday night to find that the teen’s 56-year-old father had jumped out of the second story of his burning home in Liberty Township, injuring his leg.

with a belt and shoestring that he hooked onto a conduit in his cell on death row at Chillicothe Correctional Institution, according to the report. He was scheduled to die Aug. 7 for the 1987 stabbing of neighbor Mari Anne Pope during a burglary.

In an unusual move, McGinty, the prosecutor, had pushed for Slagle to be spared, arguing that under current practice in Cuyahoga County the crime wouldn’t have been prosecuted as a death penalty case. He added that life without parole was not an option when Slagle was tried.

Former doctor guilty in death ANDREW WELSH-HUGGINS

CINCINNATI (AP) — Ohio’s Democratic U.S. senator says more can be done to help veterans use their military service to fit into the civilian job market.

Sen. Sherrod Brown of Cleveland says people still in the military should have more information about how to earn civilian credentials to match the specialty training they are getting. He also wants to expand efforts to match military training and skills to civilian job careers.

Speaking Thursday at a Cincinnati job resource center, Brown said that bipartisan legislation called the “Troop Talent Act” can help ease high unemployment among veterans.

Earlier, Republican Sen. Rob Portman was in Cincinnati to promote legislation to provide support for released convicts to reduce high repeat offender rates. He held a roundtable discussion at a food pantry that offers food-service job training.

charges, that he has to forfeit his life but Ariel Castro avoids the death penalty,” the patrol’s summary of the suicide note said.

It continued: “… he states the death penalty is inconsistent and arbitrary, and his final paragraph is an apology to his loved ones.”

Slagle’s final two phone calls, made the evening before, appeared to be to family members and did not mention suicide or the upcoming execution, the report said.

DAN SEWELL Associated Press

CINCINNATI (AP) — Ohio’s Republican U.S. senator on Thursday pointed to federal website woes as evidence that President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul should be halted.

Sen. Rob Portman said the Healthcare.gov site is an indicator of what’s ahead in the health care rollout. He said the overhaul is a complex, “big government” program that will hurt the U.S. economy, and the way the website has been plagued by technical malfunctions highlights that the Obama administration doesn’t have “its act together” on the health care plan.

“It’s not a ‘glitch.’ It’s a breakdown,” Portman said. “It’s much more serious than the kind of a glitch you might have on some app on your iPhone that doesn’t work the first day but the second day gets fixed.”

Portman said the Obama plan should “be replaced with something that works better.”

Obama’s administration

has said the computer system didn’t get enough testing and blamed a compressed time frame for meeting the Oct. 1 deadline to open the insurance markets.

Portman isn’t among critics who want the ouster of U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, daughter of the late Ohio Gov. John Gilligan.

“I’m not calling for her replacement,” Portman said. “I don’t think she’s done a great job, but I don’t think firing her is going to solve the problem.”

Portman commented to reporters in his home area after a roundtable discussion on a different topic — legislation to help released convicts get jobs, education and other support to reduce repeat offenses.

Ohio’s Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown of Cleveland planned a later appearance Thursday in Cincinnati to promote legislation to help veterans make the transition into the civilian job market.

Ballman’s mother and sister attended the hearing but declined to comment. The family appreciates the work of investigators and will speak at sentencing, their lawyer Greg Helser said Thursday. Salim remains free on house arrest on $1 million bond.

Ballman was last seen alive on July 31, 2012, when she left her home in suburban Columbus, telling her family she was answering a Craigslist ad for a housecleaner. She called her mother a few hours later saying she was feeling dizzy. The call was then lost and her family couldn’t reach her again.

Ballman’s body was found in the back of her car the next day on a rural road a few miles from Salim’s house in an upscale neighborhood.

Board: No mercy for girl’s killer ANDREW WELSH-HUGGINS Associated Press

COLUMBUS (AP) — A death row inmate who raped and killed his girlfriend’s daughter doesn’t deserve mercy, the Ohio Parole Board said Thursday, moving him one step closer to execution under the state’s new, untested lethal injection process.

The board by a unanimous vote rejected arguments raised by attorneys for Ronald Phillips that he was sexually, physically and verbally abused during childhood.

The board said it wasn’t convinced that Phillips has accepted responsibility for his crimes or changed for the better in prison. It also said evidence of his childhood abuse was not clear.

“Phillips’s crime is clearly among the worst of the worst capital crimes. Its depravity is self-evident,” the board said. “Words cannot convey the barbarity of the crime. It is simply unconscionable.”

If his execution proceeds, Phillips would be the first person to die under the state’s new execution procedures. They allow Ohio

to continue using the sedative pentobarbital in a dose obtained from a specialty pharmacy that produces non-FDA-regulated batches of medicine for specific patients.

If that option isn’t available, the state will move to an untried method of two other drugs — the sedative midazolam and the painkiller hydromorphone — injected intravenously.

The warden at the Southern Ohio Correctional Facility, which houses death row, will determine

by Nov. 1 whether the state has a usable supply of pentobarbital from a so-called compounding pharmacy. Ohio’s previous supply expired last month.

Its manufacturer has made it off-limits to executions in the future, a move that doesn’t affect the production of small supplies of the drug by compounding pharmacies.

A federal judge is reviewing Ohio’s new method, and legal challenges are expected.

Phillips, 40, is scheduled to die Nov. 14 for raping and killing Sheila Marie Evans in Akron in 1993 after a long period of frequent abuse.

In the summer, as Connecticut passed its measure, Tom Crouch, senior curator for aeronautics at the Smithsonian Institution, said Whitehead’s backers were “absolutely wrong.” The Wrights’ plane is displayed at the National Air and Space Museum.

“Whitehead’s legend has spawned much speculation and hearsay,” Crouch said then. “People who have looked at this over the years … almost unanimously reject the claim.”

But the Smithsonian is forbidden by a contract with the Wright brothers’ estate to admit that anyone

else was the first to fly, in part because they had previously fought off other claims.

Both lawmakers said the Whitehead claim is based

on a grainy photo that is inconclusive.

Cook said what is supposed to be Whitehead’s plane in the photograph “looks like a frog to me.”

After their flight, the Wright brothers took their plane to Europe to show folks the newfangled flying technology but Whitehead did little, he said.

“He didn’t go anywhere or do anything,” Cook said. “If it was me, and I had invented a machine to fly and was the first one to do it, I would be out there crowing and telling everyone what was going on.”

Whitehead’s supporters said he had bad judgment when he tried to commercialize his design.

Perales said he is an engineer and is willing to consider evidence that perhaps the Wright brothers were not the first.

“If there is substantial evidence that leads us to believe it may be different then we’re all comfortable with that,” he said. “But there’s absolutely nothing.”

Both Perales and Cook said the fight has surfaced in the past and the Connecticut legislature is not the first to weigh in.

“This thing comes up every 20 years or so,” Perales said.

Cook said that in 1985, the North Carolina legislature passed a resolution

repudiating any contention that Whitehead was the first in flight.

“I think it’s a silly issue but an issue worth talking about because it’s so important to North Carolina,” Cook said.

“North Carolina is defined by several things and one of the big ones is where the first flight occurred.”

In 1971, the U.N. General Assembly voted to admit mainland China and expel Taiwan.

In 1982, the situation comedy “Newhart,” starring Bob Newhart as a Vermont innkeeper, premiered on CBS. In 1983, a U.S.-led force invaded Grenada at the order of President Ronald Reagan, who said the action was needed to protect U.S. citizens there.

$10 = $500,000 ROYERSFORD, Pa. (AP) — A suburban Philadelphia man has perhaps the most valuable ten-spot you’ll ever see.

Thirty-nine-year-old Billy Baeder, of Royersford, owns a 1933 $10 silver certificate that an auctioneer says is worth at least a half-million dollars.

The bill bears an unusual inscription, “Payable in silver coin to bearer on demand,” and has the serial number “A00000001A.” It is perhaps the most valuable bill printed since 1929, when bills were shrunk to their current size.

Baeder told Philly.com that his late father, also a collector, bought the bill two dozen years ago for about the price of a compact car.

Matthew Quinn, assistant director of currency for auction house Stack’s Bowers, says the bill “would easily be worth about $500,000 and up.”

Baeder says he’s already turned down a $300,000 offer.

Website builders blame government RICARDO ALONSO-ZALDIVAR and STEPHEN OHLEMACHER Associated Press

WASHINGTON (AP) — Contractors who built the web portal for the Obama administration’s health insurance marketplace said Thursday the site’s crippling problems trace back to insufficient testing and changes that government officials made just prior to going live.

Who’s to blame? The first congressional hearing into what went wrong dug into issues of website architecture and testing protocols — but also restoked the partisan battle over President Barack Obama’s signature expansion of health coverage for millions of uninsured Americans. Republicans who’ve been trying to kill the program the past three years sounded outraged that it is being poorly carried out, while Democrats jeered them as political hypocrites.

What was clear after more than four hours of testimony was that the contractors had only partial answers, and only

the Obama administration can eventually put the entire picture together to explain the botched rollout.

Better times are coming, said executives from CGI Federal, which built the HealthCare. gov website serving 36 states, and from QSSI, which created a component that helps verify applicants’ incomes and other personal details. They said problems are being fixed daily and expressed optimism that anybody who wants coverage will able to get it by Jan. 1.

“The system is working, people are enrolling,” said CGI vice president Cheryl Campbell.

“But people will be able to enroll at a faster pace.”

Asked for a timetable, she side-stepped, saying: “I don’t like to raise expectations.”

The online insurance markets were meant to be the portal to coverage for people who don’t get health benefits on the job.

Middle-class people are to pick from subsidized private insurance plans, while low-income people are steered to Medicaid in states that have agreed to

expand that safety-net program.

But the administration is now urging consumers to apply via call centers or on paper forms as the website problems are being

addressed.

Lack of testing was the main thread emerging from Thursday’s hearing before the House Energy and Commerce Committee.

Merkel: U.S. spying damaged trust GEIR MOULSON and JOHN-THOR DAHLBURG Associated Press

BRUSSELS (AP) — European leaders united in anger Thursday as they attended a summit overshadowed by reports of widespread U.S. spying on its allies — allegations German Chancellor Angela Merkel said had shattered trust in the Obama administration and undermined the crucial trans-Atlantic relationship.

The latest revelations that the U.S. National Security Agency swept up more than 70 million phone records in France and may have tapped Merkel’s own cellphone brought denunciations from the French and German governments.

Merkel’s unusually stern remarks as she

arrived at the European Union gathering indicated she wasn’t placated by a phone conversation she had Wednesday with President Barack Obama, or his personal assurances that the U.S. is not listening in on her calls now.

“We need trust among allies and partners,” Merkel told reporters in Brussels.

“Such trust now has to be built anew. This is what we have to think about.”

“The United States of America and Europe face common challenges. We are allies,” the German leader said. “But such an alliance can only be built on trust.

That’s why I repeat again: spying among friends, that cannot be.”

The White House may soon face other irked heads of state and government. The British newspaper The Guardian said

Thursday it obtained a confidential memo suggesting the NSA was able to monitor 35 world leaders’ communications in 2006.

The memo said the NSA encouraged senior officials at the White House, Pentagon and other agencies to share their contacts so the spy agency could add foreign leaders’ phone numbers to its surveillance systems, the report said.

The Guardian did not identify who reportedly was eavesdropped on, but said the memo termed the payoff very meager: “Little reportable intelligence” was obtained, it said.

Other European leaders arriving for the 28-nation meeting echoed Merkel’s displeasure. Swedish Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt called it “completely unacceptable” for a country to eavesdrop on an allied leader.

Classmate: Accused teen stayed after school JAY LINDSAY Associated Press

DANVERS, Mass. (AP) — A teacher who was allegedly killed by one of her students had asked him to stay after school the day she was killed, a classmate said Thursday, as students met with grief counselors and tried to come to grips with the slaying of the popular teacher.

Philip Chism, 14, was charged with murder Wednesday in the death of Colleen Ritzer, a 24-year-old math teacher at Danvers High School.

Rania Rhaddaoui sat two seats away from Chism in Ritzer’s Algebra I class, the final class of the school day.

She said Chism was drawing in a notebook rather than taking notes Tuesday.

“She came over and said, ‘I didn’t know you draw,’ and he said, ‘yes,’ then later on, she said, ‘Can you stay after with me?’” Rhaddaoui said.

“Obviously, he stayed after because when I was leaving, he was still at his desk.”

She said Ritzer had scheduled a test for Friday, but she was unsure why exactly Ritzer asked Chism to stay after school.

Philip Chism, 14, stands during his arraignment for the death of Danvers High School teacher Colleen Ritzer in Salem District Court in Salem, Mass., Wednesday. Chism has been ordered held without bail.

Ritzer never returned home that day. Blood in a secondfloor bathroom helped lead investigators to her body, which was dumped in the woods behind the school in a close-knit community about 20 miles north of Boston.

Chism was picked up by police in the early morning hours Wednesday, walking along Route 1 in neighboring Topsfield. His attorney

declined to comment outside court Wednesday and did not immediately return a call seeking comment Thursday.

The high school remained closed for classes Thursday, but grief counselors were on hand to offer comfort to students.

Kaitlyn Nash, 16, went to the school to be with her friends. She said students who knew and loved Ritzer were still trying to make sense of what happened. She said she found it particularly frightening that she had theater rehearsal Tuesday afternoon and was at the school when authorities believe Ritzer was killed.

“It’s just terrifying,” she said. “I know a lot of people don’t want to go back to school at this point. I know we have to, and we just need to get on with.”

Classes were expected to resume Friday.

Authorities offered no clues Thursday on Chism’s alleged motive. They also would not say how Ritzer was killed.

Carrie Kimball-Monahan, a spokeswoman for Essex District Attorney Jonathan Blodgett, said the case was still being investigated.

Chism had moved

Fourteen-year-old high school student Philip Chism was accused of killing Ritzer, a well-liked math teacher at Danvers High School, in Danvers, Mass., whose body was found in the woods behind the school. Law enforcement officials recovered the remains of 24-year-old Ritzer early Wednesday, Essex District Attorney Jonathan Blodgett said. Chism was arraigned Wednesday in Salem on a murder charge and ordered held without bail.

Have mercy? Not in Texas high school football PAUL J. WEBER Associated Press

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — No one likes a bully. So when a recent Texas high school football game ended in a score of 91-0, one angry parent filed a complaint alleging the contest had crossed the line from tough loss to unlawful torment.

In a state where football is king, school investigators found no bullying. But the blowout has spurred deep discussion among coaches, parents and politicians over sportsmanship and whether it’s time to enact a “mercy rule” in Texas to put a stop to games when the score gets out of hand.

High school football is a merciless business in Texas, where state championships are played in the Dallas Cowboys’ 80,000-seat stadium and the state spends $1.5 million steroid-testing high school athletes. Texas high schools play mostly by college rules, while most other states employ national prep guidelines. Like many other states, it has no mercy rule for

11-man football.

The conversation has changed following Aledo High School’s crushing victory last week over Fort Worth Western Hills — the game that led to the unusual bullying complaint against Aledo’s coaches.

“Losing is an important lesson that needs to be learned by all kids. But the lesson ceases to be much of a lesson where someone is likely to get hurt because of the substantial mismatch,” said state Land Commissioner Jerry Patterson, a Texas-tough politician who wears two guns to his office and says America would be better off without states like California and New York.

In California, one youth football league for kids 7 to 13 years old suspends coaches when a team wins by 35 or more points On the high school level, California doesn’t “mercyrule” blowouts with abrupt endings but does keep the clock running to hasten the game.

Texas employs similar running-clock measures in blowouts — something that was done during the Aledo game at the sugges-

tion of the winning coach, Tim Buchanan.

He also benched his starters late in the game.

But even he said the fallout has left him in favor of mercy rules.

Buchanan said his team takes no pleasure in piling on easy touchdowns and humiliating the other side.

Still, he acknowledged a mercy rule isn’t an easy sell in Texas: “If they voted on it, I’m not sure how many coaches in our membership would be in favor of it.”

The state’s infatuation with high school football was celebrated on the TV series “Friday Night Lights,” including an episode in which the coach of the pitiful East Dillon Lions forfeited a game at halftime because they were being beaten so badly. The Lions’ prideful players fumed.

In real life, the person most offended by Aledo’s 13-touchdown victory was a Western Hills father. In a complaint with the Aledo school district, the parent, whose name has been withheld by the district, cited “everyone in the football stadium” as witnesses to the bullying.

Whenever possible, have your parents spend time with the two of you.

The better they know him, the more they will appreciate that their daughter is fortunate to be in love with such a wonderful guy and to be loved by him in return.

At age 20, you are old enough to decide whom you want to date. Still, it’s very important that your parents are happy knowing that this guy is right for you.

DR. WALLACE: I’m 18 and am a freshman in a community college, so I live at home. This past summer my boyfriend and I parted ways because I got tired of being with him. At the end I didn’t dislike him, but I sure didn’t like him.

My Mother likes this guy because he was always nice to her and she enjoys the attention. I think she was hoping that

we’d be married some day. That is NOT going to happen. My problem is that now my ex still comes by our house to see my mom. Whenever that happens and I’m at home, I either go to my room or leave the house.

I don’t think my mother should be close friends with an ex-boyfriend that I have no interest in. Do you agree? — Nameless, Orange, Calif.

NAMELESS: I agree.

You should always feel comfortable in your own home and that obviously isn’t possible when your ex is hanging around. Your mother’s relationship with your ex borders on the inappropriate. If she wants to communicate with him, she should do so by telephone or email — and leave you out of it. However, I can’t understand her purpose in staying in touch with him.

Sidney Daily News, Friday, October 25, 2013

Women learn about Shelby Transit, Municipal Airport Women In Networking held its October meeting at the Shelby Public Transit Building and heard from Transit Manager Deb Grogean.

Grogean started with the history of the Sidney Municipal Airport which began as a grass airstrip in 1957, and in 1963 a group of local citizens purchased the tract of land and constructed a 3200foot runway. The land was eventually deeded to the City of Sidney providing Shelby County with its only public-use airport.

Besides housing 40 aircraft, including two corporate jets, the airport offers fueling, maintenance, detailing, and aircraft storage services to emergency medical flights, crop dusting, military helicopters, private general aviation, and business aircraft.

The airport also holds an air fair each year, typically in the fall, including airplane rides and many activities for children.

Dial-A-Ride was started

by the city in 1980 with three vehicles, a part-time director, two part-time dispatchers, and five parttime drivers. The one-way fare was 60 cents for the general public and 30 cents for the elderly and disabled.

The county started its transportation system, SCATS, in 2000. The entities consolidated in 2006 and were renamed Shelby Public Transit with a fleet of eight large transit vehicles, one regular minivan, and two wheelchair-accessible minivans. It now has 16 part-time drivers, a scheduler, dispatcher and operations supervisor, besides the transit manager.

Grogean said most people do not know there is a public transit system in the area. The system currently serves the city (including Fair Haven and Dorothy Love), county, and various locations throughout Ohio. Grogean noted that they have taken people to doctor’s appoint-

ments in Dayton, Lima, Columbus and Cleveland.

Cost is now $2.50 (one way) within the city for the general public and $1 for the elderly and disabled. Within the county, it is $5 for the general public, and $2.50 for the elderly and disabled.

Riders can purchase tokens for any trip at the Transit Building or Revenue Collections office at the City Building.

Those who make a purchase at Sidney Foodtown, Bunny’s Pharmacy or SavA-Lot can stop by their service desks and receive free tokens for the trip home.

In 2012, they made 41,543 trips with 35,553 city trips and 5,991 in the county.

The transit is funded by the Federal Transit Administration, ODOT, contract receipts, fares, city of Sidney, and Shelby County.

Trips are scheduled on a first come-first serve, space-available basis and

everyone is allowed to ride. It should be noted that this is public transit and is a shared ride service, meaning the driver may have other passengers to pick up and drop off before getting to any destination.

Bev Killian from First National Bank received the monthly Chamber of Commerce gift certificate.

The November WIN meeting will be held at the Upper Valley Career Center in Piqua to learn about their culinary classes.

WIN is a council of the Sidney-Shelby County Chamber of Commerce and provides a forum for the exchange of ideas among women in business, a network of support, and programs of interest, which promote success to the membership. Guests are always welcome. For more information about membership, call 492-9122.

Gardeners pick apples Members of the Rainbow Gardeners picked apples at the home of Carole Carruthers following their October business meeting.

During the meeting, Marcia Grigg shared the following horticultural tip about black-eyed Susans: instead of leaving ugly black-eyed Susans in place, cut and make a bouquet for the birds, Grigg said. When the seeds have been eaten, the bare stalks can easily be removed. For an easy fall arrangement, collect colorful leaves, kale, heuchera, grasses, millet, and fox-

tail. Place them in a pot along with mahonia and red-twig dogwood.

The arrangement will look great right through frost, Grigg noted.

Nancy Morgan reminded members to watch out for praying mantis egg cases when cleaning out their gardens. Egg cases are light tan in color and look like small pieces of honeycomb. They are often attached to shrub or evergreen branches. If a branch with an egg case is accidentally removed, carefully place it back in a protected area, Morgan advised.

She announced that a floral

design study class will be Nov. 7 at 1 p.m. at the Shelby County Extension building. Juanita Wilkins will teach attendees how to construct a duo design and possibly a vertical design. The fee is $10.

Design Study is open to the public, but space is limited. Those interested can call 497-9373 for information and to register.

Club members surprised Selma Geib with a celebration for her 99th birthday.

Meeting hostesses were Mary Lou Overton and Carruthers.

Businesses and individuals who would like to advertise on the new benches should call the director of the fair board.

• Approve the payment of monthly bills in the amount of $17,092.15.

• Approve moving $20,000 into a certificate of deposit.

• Purchase new skid loader tires when needed.

The board heard reports: • That the roofs of the Community Foundation, block restroom and Junior Fair horse barn buidlings have been replaced and paid for by the county’s insurance company. The

roofs had been damaged during a 2012 storm.

• That the Shelby County Pork Producers are raising funds for new restrooms next to the livestock complexes and show arenas.

• That the Executive Committee had met with local veterans groups to discuss holding Veterans Day activities on Monday night of the fair.

Air Force museum re-opens galleries DAYTON — The National Museum of the U.S. Air Force reopened its Presidential and Research and Development Galleries on a limited basis Thursday.

The galleries have been closed since May 1 as part of budget reduction requirements due to sequestration. Current resources will allow the galleries to be open from Thursdays through Sundays.

Museum Director Lt. Gen. (Ret.) Jack Hudson said he is thrilled to be able to offer this experience to visitors while still operating within sequestration guidelines.

“We have several popular exhibits in the Presidential and R&D Galleries, including President Kennedy’s Air Force One and the XB-70 Valkyrie, and we know from the feedback we received during the closure that people have really missed seeing these aircraft,” Hudson said. “The long-term solution is to move forward with the fourth building project, which will

provide us the opportunity to relocate presidential and R&D aircraft to the main museum complex so that all visitors can enjoy these displays.”

Visitors must ride shuttle buses from the main museum complex to the Presidential and R&D Galleries, which are located on a controlledaccess portion of Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. The museum will offer two bus trips on Thursday and Friday afternoons and four trips on Saturdays and Sundays.

The shuttle service is offered on a first-come, first-served basis, and visitors are encouraged to sign up early in the day as buses fill up quickly. A current governmentissued photo ID is required for U.S. citizens over age 18, and all foreign visitors must present an original passport. Anyone under age 18 must be escorted by an adult. Shuttle buses are not handicapped accessible, and individuals requiring special assistance should contact the museum’s Operations

Division in advance at 937-2553286 to arrange transportation.

Military and Department of Defense civilians with government ID may use their private vehicles to visit the galleries from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Motorcoach tours and military reunion groups wishing to visit these galleries should contact the museum’s Special Events Division at nationalmuseum.mus@us.af.mil three to four weeks prior to their visits.

Additional requirements for visiting these galleries are available at http://www.nationalmuseum.af.mil/ questions/topic.asp?id=180.

The National Museum of the United States Air Force is located on Springfield Street, six miles northeast of downtown Dayton. It is open seven days a week from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. (closed Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s Day).

Admission and parking are free. For more information about the museum, visit www.nationalmuseum.af.mil.

Boecker addresses Kiwanians DiAnne Karas introduced Tom Boecker, president and CEO of Wilson Memorial Hospital, as the guest speaker at the Oct. 16 meeting of the Kiwanis Club of Sidney.

Boecker is a native of Minster and recently marked his 40th anniversary at the hospital. He has announced that he will retire on March 31.

Boecker stated that Wilson Memorial, with 754 employees, is the fourth

largest employer in Shelby County. It is a nonprofit, full-service hospital, serving residents of Shelby County and the surrounding communities. There are 200 physicians and about one half of those are on site on a regular basis. Doctors are recruited from Ohio and contiguous states.

“Even though Wilson Memorial Hospital is a nonprofit hospital, it still needs to make money,”

Boecker said. Among the challenges the hospital faces is lower reimbursement of services from the government. Half of their patients are on either Medicare or Medicaid. Fees are reimbursed at 25 cents on the dollar by Medicaid and 45 cents on the dollar by Medicare. Some of the work by the Wilson Memorial Hospital Foundation is to help offset this shortfall and to help the hospital fulfill its

mission and vision.

Boecker also briefly discussed healthcare reform.

Prior to Boecker’s remarks, President Jim Stevenson called the meeting to order. The invocation was given by Karen Tennery and the group was lead in song by Ralph Bornhorst, accompanied

by Don Tangeman on the piano. Heather Pollard led the Fun & Games activities.

Roger Fulk, of Sidney, has won a cookbook in a Sidney Daily News drawing. He submitted recipes for inclusion in the 2013 Harvest Holiday Cookbook, which will be available Nov. 23.

Two join Dorothy Love board Tricia Atwood, executive director of Dorothy Love Retirement Community, and Mary Lou Holly, chairman of the Dorothy Love board, recently announced the appointment of two new board members.

Returning to the board after six years is Jennifer Barhorst. She is a school teacher in the Sidney City Schools.

She is a graduate of Sidney High School and Miami University with a Bachelor of Science in elementary education. She is also active in the Delta Kappa Teachers’ Honorary Sorority and the First Presbyterian Church.

Barhorst has a long history with Dorothy Love Retirement Community. Her father, grandmothers, an aunt

and her husband’s mother and grandfather all lived at Dorothy Love. She and her husband, Michael, live in Sidney.

The other new member is Darrel Hollenbacher.

He retired in 2012 from Ernie Green Industries as chief financial officer. He graduated from Fairlawn High School and Kent State University with a Bachelor of Science in accounting. He is a certified public accountant. Hollenbacher has served as treasurer of te United Way of Troy.

50 years Oct. 25, 1963 ANNA — Officials here today requested residents of the village voluntarily limit the use of water at this time. It was pointed out that while there is no immediate cause for alarm, Mayor Don Elsass, with the consent of the village council, is asking all consumers to curtail outside watering. Fire Chief Duane Boyer also urged that no one burn leaves or paper after 6 p.m., and under no circumstances should any outside fire be left unattended.

––––– October’s “bright blue weather” has turned a little portion of the back yard at the Sam Rees home into a springtime scene-a lilac is in bloom. Mrs. Rees says the fourfoot high bush has four blooms on now and is full of buds. If the sunshine stays a few days longer they will all come out, said Mrs. Rees as she talked of the Persian purple lilac bush that seems to “think it’s spring.”

25 years Oct. 25, 1988 Robert Barga was recently elected as chairman of the Sidney Christian School Board of Education. William Search was selected as vice-chairman and Pat Vander-Woude was elected as secretary. Rounding out the slate of officers is treasurer, Newell Moore.

Superintendent James Johnson said the board has obtained an appraisal of the former Orange Township School which the Sidney Christian School presently rents.

Sidney City Schools will be auctioning off the building Nov. 5.

Johnson said the board wanted to obtain an appraisal of the property’s values prior to the auction.

Odds and Ends YORK, Pa. (AP) — A thief has returned a 100-pound pumpkin that a central Pennsylvania boy won by correctly guessing its weight - along with a note apologizing for the theft.

Nine -year- old Jaiden Newcomer of York won the pumpkin at an Oktoberfest celebration in Windsor Township.

He had displayed the giant pumpkin on his family’s porch until it was stolen last week.

But the York Dispatch reports the

pumpkin was back on the family’s porch Sunday evening after it returned from a weekend trip.

The thief also left a note saying: “I’m really sorry about taking your pumpkin, it was wrong of me, you earned the pumpkin, I didn’t think my actions through nor realize who they were affecting. Sincerest apologies.”

Amy Newcomer says her son is “very excited. He’s beside himself.

HOROSCOPE

BY FRANCES DRAKE

For Saturday, Oct. 26, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Wrap up loose details surrounding shared property, taxes, debt, inheritances and anything you own jointly with others. You'll be surprised how quickly you can do this.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Because ex-partners might be back on the scene, be willing to compromise. This might be an opportunity for closure or further explanation about something.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Do whatever you can to get better organized, because Mercury retrograde is causing havoc in your efficiency at work. However, it will help you to finish old projects.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Discussions about children, social events, the arts and sports are a focus now. You can make headway on plans that were already started. It's time to wrap things up.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) This is a good time to make repairs at home or catch up on things that you've been putting off for ages.

Some of you might be sifting through stuff you haven't seen for a while.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Because you're busy, silly errors, confused communication and misplaced items are frustrating you! Just grin and bear it. (Slow down, and give yourself enough wiggle room to cope with everything.)

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) This is a good time to wrap up financial matters that you've been planning for a while. However, it's a poor time to begin new ideas, especially opening a business.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Old friends are back in your world again. You might have a sense of deja vu with quite a few things now, because Mercury is retrograde in your sign.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Your ability to research anything, study the past or delve into history is excellent now. Look for solutions to old problems.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) This is a good time to deal with a problem you might have with a friend or members of a group. People are willing to discuss this now. They want to clear up misunderstandings.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) You look good to others now, especially people in authority. If someone wants you to repeat something you did before or to perform again, you can do it.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Travel plans might be delayed now.

Ditto for plans related to higher education, publishing, medicine and the law. Instead, focus on wrapping up old business.

YOU BORN TODAY You are a planner and a doer. You also have excellent money savvy. You want your world to be organized smoothly around you and will clean up whatever is not working. You work well with groups, especially if they coincide with your own goals and success. You are brave, fearless and intense. This year will be beautifully social, and all your relationships will improve.

CELINA— The Grand Lake Regional Cancer Center has announced a new Clinac iX Linear Accelerator with On-Board Imager kV imaging system from Varian Medical Systems has been added to the center. The On-Board Imager allows doctors to offer patients Dynamic Targeting IGRT (image-guided radiotherapy), an extremely precise form of treatment that utilizes multiple imaging and motion management techniques for ultra-accurate tumor targeting. The Clinac iX Linear Accelerator also has Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) capabilities in addition to IGRT. The Clinac iX has been in operation since Sept. 23 This state-of-the-art technology enables us to treat patients with the most advanced radiotherapy techniques, using the most clinically efficient processes in the world,” said Wayne Court, Ph.D., M.D., Medical Director of Grand Lake Radiation Oncology. “It provides us with tremendous versatility and precision for customizing treatments according to the specifics of each patient’s case.”

The Cancer Network of West Central Ohio and the Grand Lake Regional Cancer Center at 900 Havemann Road, in Celina, is a joint venture cancer treatment facility among four regional health services: Grand Lake Health System (St. Marys), Mercer Health (Coldwater), St. Rita’s Health Partners (Lima), and Van Wert County Hospital (Van Wert). The $1.7 million investment in the region provides the same caliber cancer treatment capabilities as facilities in major metro areas. Patients who are in need of radiation therapy can receive treatment close to home.

The Grand Lake Regional Cancer Center will be hosting a community open house on Nov. 3 from 2 to 4 p.m. at the facility at 900 Havemann Road, Celina. Tours of the facility, including the Clinac iX Linear Accelerator with IGRT technology, will be available along with light refreshments.

The Sidney Zoning Board of Appeals Monday granted conditional-use permits for an accessory structure and landscaping and a variance for a setback.

The board granted a conditional-use permit to allow a 1,224-square-foot accessory structure at 1317 Pinetree Court, as requested by Ernie Powers. The permitted size is 1,000 square feet in an R-1, single-famly residence zone.

The board also granted a conditional-use permit to eliminate landscaping at 217 S. Main Ave. in the B-5, courtsquare business district.

Choice One Engineering, on behalf of NKTelco, requested a revision to the conditionaluse permit for a public utility building at the site to revise the landscaping. NKTelco has not installed the bushes that were included in the original site plan surrounding the building and along the front lot line adjacent to the Main Avenue right of way. Because the property does not abut a residential use, landscaping, buffering and screening are not required. According to NKTelco, the long-range plan for this site is to construct a building around the existing utility building for a customer service and sales office.

In the final action, the board approved a variance to eliminate the required 10-foot grass area setback between a parking facility and the property line at 1410-1440 N. Vandemark Road in an I-2, general industrial district.

Ferguson Construction, on behalf of Bensar, requested the variance. In order to accommodate semi-trailer parking for a new occupant at the facility, Bensar is proposing to construct a new parking facility across the south lot line, onto the adjacent property, which is also owned by Bensar. Bensar has committed to replatting to move the lot line, but due to the fast-approaching cold weather, needs to get the asphalt in place before a replat could be approved.

The respective unknown heirs, devisees, administrators, executors, personal representatives, creditors, and assigns of Nina Williamson, will take notice that on the 4th day of September, 2013, Matthew G. Beaver filed a Complaint against them demanding that the title be quieted to the real estate more particularly described in such Complaint.

Sidney turf project nears 70 percent of goal Just over a year ago the Sidney Vespa Quarterback Club agreed to raise the $600,000 needed to install synthetic turf in 7000 seat Sidney Memorial Stadium which opened in 2004. VespaQB’s ongoing primary mission is to promote and support Sidney High School football.

The stadium’s field condition has been a continuing concern for several years. The proposed installation will provide an outstanding playing surface for both the Sidney Yellow Jackets and Lehman Cavaliers, and will allow the facility to host neutral site high school playoff games, which have been absent since 2010.

Two months ago the club announced that the halfway mark of $300,000 had been exceeded.

Activity has been especially brisk during October. Club President and Turf Committee Chair Dave Rose provided an update.

“We currently have cash and pledges in hand totaling $411,080 which is over 68 percent of our $600,000 goal,” Rose said. “We have a long way to go as we seek to reach this goal and sign a construction agreement by the end of the calendar year so the project can commence in February or March and be completed for Sidney High School graduation in late May. This schedule also allows us to get the best contractor pricing, and to pursue in-kind contributions that will get us even closer to the total goal. Football would be played on the new surface in 2014 and playoff games would fol-

low immediately.

“Our message and situation at this time are very simple,” he continued. “In the next two months the support of every potential donor of every monetary size will be vital to get us over the top. Just like the fundraising and building of Sidney Memorial Stadium a decade ago, this synthetic turf drive is a community effort that benefits Sidney and Lehman football and beyond. Our committee is working hard to make this happen.”

He added that the turf website has been updated and contains information pertinent to the project.

Sidney Memorial Stadium could look like this by next spring. The presence of soccer lines reflects the many scholastic and community activities that would be hosted without concern for deteriorating field conditions. Pending fund raising, the endzone letters could spell out “SIDNEY” and “LEHMAN.”

ball season,” Rose said.

“On both Friday and Saturday nights we will man an informational table near the main home entrance of the stadium allowing the public to

see a large rendering of the proposed turf and to interact with the committee. With the community as our partner, we remain confident that our goal will be realized. We firm-

ly believe this improvement will make Sidney Memorial Stadium the premier high school football facility in the state of Ohio.”

Lady Cavs first county team to win district title Rob Kiser BELLBROOK — Taylor Lachey’s rifle shot from 30 yards out let the air out of Bethel’s upset hopes against Lehman in a D-III district girls soccer final Thursday night at Bellbrook High School, and the Lady Cavaliers rode that momentum into Shelby County history.

Lachey’s goal broke a scoreless deadlock late in the first half and Lehman went on to win 5-0 to become the first girls soccer team from Shelby County to win a district title.

The Cavaliers will play Summit Country Day, a team they beat 2-1 during the season, in a regional semifinal at 7 p.m. Tuesday at Hamilton High School.

“This feels great,” said Lachey, a senior who was on the Lehman team that was district runnerup

last year. “That definitely was a big goal of ours.”

And while Lehman dominated throughout, outshooting the Bees 25-6, the Cavaliers didn’t break through for almost 38 minutes.

With just 2:17 remaining in the first half, Lachey was in the right place at the right time.

Ashley Keller took a throw-in from Madeline Franklin down the right side and somehow got the ball through a Bethel player to Lachey, standing five yards from her.

Lachey instantly turned and rifled a shot into the upper right side of the net, well out of the Bethel keeper’s reach.

It put Lehman up 1-0 and the Cavaliers just continued to build on that in the second half.

“That was a rip,” Lehman coach Tony Schroeder said of Lachey’s shot. “That gave us momentum going into

the locker room.”

Just 5:32 into the second half, Keller made it 2-0.

She took a perfect thru ball from Jenna Kronenberger and hammered a shot at the net.

The keeper deflected it, but Keller followed for an easy shot into an empty net.

“That was a great ball

by Jenna (Kronenberger) and Ashley (Keller) did a nice job,” Schneider said.

Lehman made it 3-0 at the 16:543 mark when Franklin, near the backline, did a beautiful touch to Katie Edwards for a goal.

Jordi Emrick made it 4-0, taking a perfect Mike Ullery|Civitas Media corner kick by Marla Schroeder and heading it Lehman goalie Grace Frantz (25) and teammate McKenna Guillozet keep track of the ball in Division III District final action at Bellbrook Thursday.

Sidney 7th grade finishes 8-0 The Sidney 7th grade football team closed out a perfect season Wednesday night with a 48-6 rout of Greenville.

The win gave the Junior Jackets an 8-0 final record and the championship of the Greater Western Ohio Conference North Division title.

The Jackets, who averaged over 300 yards in total offense per game, were led by Ratez Roberts with three touchdowns and Andre Gordon with two.

Cameron Perry and Josiah Hudgins each scored once and Gordon and Jace Conrad added two-point conversions.

New Knoxville falls to Marion in finals VAN WERT — New Knoxville’s outstanding tournament run came to an end Thursday when the Lady Rangers lost in the Division IV District championship game to No. 1-ranked Marion Local in action at Van Wert High School.

The Lady Rangers closed out the season with a 17-9 record after losing 25-21, 22-25, 25-17, 25-9 to the Lady Flyers, the defending state champion.

Meg Reineke finished the game with a triple-double of 13 kills, 12 assists and 20 digs for the Lady Rangers. Haley

Horstman had 18 assists, 11 digs and five kills, Madison Lammers had six kills, 43 digs and three ace serves, Kalyn Schroer had 37 digs, and Abby Rohrbach 16 digs.

Marion Local advances to the regional tournament with a 24-1 record.

Bigger role for Bengals’ Kirkpatrick CINCINNATI (AP) — Dre Kirkpatrick is getting his chance to show that he was worth a firstround pick.

The Bengals need help at cornerback with Leon Hall sidelined by another Achilles tendon injury. They’re counting on Kirkpatrick, who has missed much of his first two seasons with injuries. Now, it’s his chance.

“I feel like I have been ready,” Kirkpatrick said.

“I am not going to broadcast it or get pouty about it. I am just going to continue to work, continue to practice and just go every day like it’s my last day out there.”

The 2012 17th overall pick from Alabama hasn’t been on the defense very much.

He missed most of his rookie season with knee injuries and a concussion that limited him to five

games. With the knee Kirkpatrick would fully recovered, he made cover top receivers at impressive plays during Alabama.

Kirkpatrick had an especially tough time during a preseason game against Dallas that has stuck with him. He’s gone back and reviewed the video on several occasions to remind himself what happens when he doesn’t do everything correctly in coverage.

“It was one of those games and one of those days that lots of great players have,” said Kirkpatrick, who repeatedly gave up completions. “You’ve got to continue to work through it and improve every day. I learned my lesson. I look at my notes and continue to still watch that game.

“I know what a buttwhipping feels like, and I don’t want that feeling no more.”

Calvin Johnson, the league’s top receiver, caught a 27-yard

touchdown pass with Kirkpatrick in coverage Sunday, but there wasn’t much any cornerback could do to stop it.

“He played good this week when he had to come in the fire,” Jones said. “The one catch Calvin caught, he had perfect coverage on him.

He came in and played the nickel (defense) real good for his first time coming in. As long as he’s playing with confidence, he’ll be all right.”

Defensive backs coach Mark Carrier said Kirkpatrick has improved a lot since that bad game in Dallas.

“Leaps and bounds better,” Carrier said. “And it’s ironic because after that situation in Dallas, one of the first persons to go up to him and share some things with him was Leon Hall. He kind of let him know about his

tough day he had back when he first came into the league. He said you can learn from it and get better from it, and I think Dre did.”

Given his limited time on the field last season, Kirkpatrick is still a rookie in terms of on-field experience. Carrier has watched him improve in practice as this season goes along.

“He’ll be the first one to tell you: When he’s healthy, he can go out there and play (well),” Carrier said.

“Everyone’s time comes, and he knew his time was coming soon.”

Notes: DE Wallace Gilberry (knee) and WR Marvin Jones (shoulder) were held out of practice Thursday. Jones landed hard on his left shoulder while making a touchdown catch in Detroit. … CB Terence Newman (ankle) and MLB Rey Maualuga (hamstring) were limited in practice.

Sidney Daily News, Friday, October 25, 2013

Browns’ Gordon tired of trade talk BEREA, Ohio (AP) — Already dealing with cornerbacks, double coverage and defenses targeting him, Browns wide receiver Josh Gordon has spent the past month trying to shake free from trade rumors.

It’s been exhausting.

“I’m tired of it,” Gordon said.

With Tuesday’s NFL trade deadline approaching, Gordon remains the subject of speculation that won’t go away. The talented second-year receiver with All-Pro potential has become a coveted commodity, and as he prepares for Sunday’s game at Kansas City, Gordon doesn’t know if it will be his final one with the Browns (3-4).

“I honestly wish if it was going to happen, I wish it would happen already instead of dragging on,” he said. “If a trade offer came in and that’s what the Browns want to do, so be it. If not, then let it be known this is where I’m going to be. It’s part of the game. I’m dealing with it.”

Browns coach Rob Chudzinski has insisted the Browns won’t trade Gordon. CEO Joe Banner recently said he would be “completely shocked” if the Browns traded the 22-year-old, but the team has continued to receive offers for Gordon, who has 27 catches for 450 yards and two touchdowns in five games.

Cleveland’s trade of running back Trent Richardson last month to Indianapolis for a first-round pick underscored the team’s willingness to build for the future, and Gordon understands he might not be a part of it.

“Ultimately it’s up to Joe

Banner and (owner) Jimmy Haslam and the guys up top, but I do feel comforted in my head coach wants me to be here,” Gordon said. “But the reality of it is anybody can make a deal and they’re saying they’re open to listening to people, so anything can happen.”

Gordon’s off-field issues could play a role in whether he stays in Cleveland.

He was suspended for the first two games this season for violating the NFL’s substanceabuse policy, and it’s his understanding that another failed drug test could result in a one-year suspension. Gordon’s checkered past could prompt the Browns to move him before he makes another mistake.

But his background may make teams leery of taking a chance on him.

It appears to be a gamble either way. Also, there have been questions about Gordon’s commitment and whether he always gives 100 percent effort. Last week in Green Bay, Gordon had just two catches for 21 yards and his performance included a mistimed jump on a 4th-and-15 play when he failed to extend his arms and had the ball knocked away by a Packers defender.

Gordon’s body language wasn’t good, and it may have been because the trade talk had affected his play.

“I would think it would bother him,” said running back Willis McGahee. “From what I’ve seen, I think he wants to be here. I’m hoping he wants to be here. When you hear you’re

about to get traded your spirits change a little bit, but the only thing I can tell him is that it’s a business and anybody is expendable. Just got out and do your job. Do what you do.

Don’t let people see you all bent out of shape and things like that.”

McGahee, who signed with Cleveland last month following the Richardson trade, said Gordon would benefit from having a veteran player to mentor him. He’s confident that at some point Gordon will mature into a dependable professional.

“Everybody gets it. It just depends on when,” McGahee said. “I didn’t get it until my fourth or fifth year. And I was like, ‘All right, I’ve got to start eating right and got to start doing this.’ That’s part of life.

That’s part of growing. He has the talent. You can see it in him. He’s going to put it together in a minute.”

Browns offensive coordinator Norv Turner doesn’t doubt that Gordon has been giving his all. He knows there may be times when it appears the 6-foot-3, 225-pounder is coasting, but it’s not because he’s not trying.

“Everyone wants Josh to be the Josh when he’s at his best. I do, Josh does, everyone does,” Turner said. “I’ve been with young receivers and I don’t know that that’s realistic. He’s working hard. Josh is making great progress and the young receivers that I’ve been around, it’s in the third or fourth year when you start seeing all of those things happen.”

It remains to be seen if

they’ll happen for Gordon in Cleveland.

NOTES: Browns defensive coordinator Ray Horton predicted that his unit, which has given up 62 points in the past two games, will bounce back.

“I know what my vision is and where we’re at on the field and in the classroom,” he said. “I just think you’ll see a different Cleveland Browns defense moving forward.” … McGahee

Favre won’t be joining Rams ST. LOUIS (AP) — Brett Favre dismissed the possibility of returning to the NFL with St. Louis, and Rams coach Jeff Fisher declined to address reports he tried to lure the quarterback out of retirement to replace the injured Sam Bradford.

Favre told Washington sports station WSPZ-AM he doesn’t feel physically able to compete and expressed fear that he has been affected by concussions.

“It’s flattering, but you know there’s no way I’m going to do that,” Favre said.

Fisher changed the subject after practice, then said “Nice try” when asked whether the 44-yearold Favre could be ready to play.

Bradford is out for the season with a knee injury.

“I don’t remember my daughter playing soccer, playing youth soccer, one summer,” Favre told

WSPZ. “I don’t remember that.

I got a pretty good memory, and I have a tendency like we all do to say, ‘Where are my glasses?’ and they’re on your head. This was pretty shocking to me that I couldn’t remember my daughter playing youth soccer, just one summer, I think. I remember her playing basketball, I remember her playing volleyball, so I kind of think maybe she only played a game or two. I think she played eight. So that’s a little bit scary to me. For the first time in 44 years, that put a little fear in me. …

“I think after 20 years, God only knows the toll.”

Rams defensive end Robert Quinn didn’t think there was anything to the reports.

“Brett Favre is staying retired,” Quinn said. “Brett hasn’t played since 2010 and he’s comfortable

down there in Mississippi on a boat or something. Have fun with it, Brett.”

Kellen Clemens, the backup the past two seasons, will make his 13th career start Monday night against the Seattle Seahawks. The Rams also signed Brady Quinn and Austin Davis.

Fisher said he wouldn’t discuss players contacted after Bradford tore his left ACL on Sunday at Carolina, although he confirmed Tyler Thigpen also worked out.

“I don’t feel any need to disclose information after the process,” Fisher said. “That’s how we are.

I’ll be happy to talk about Thigpen, and the two that we signed.”

Bobcats beat Cavs CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Jeffery Taylor scored 20 points and Gerald Henderson added 19 as the Charlotte Bobcats beat the Cleveland Cavaliers 105-92 on Thursday night.

Kyrie Irving led the Cavaliers with 20 points on 6-of-13 shooting in 27 minutes.

Taylor, who saw additional playing time after starting small forward Michael KiddGilchrist left the game with a strained right hamstring, was 7 of 11 from the field and 3 of 4 from 3-point range.

Earl Clark had 12 points for the Cavaliers, who wrapped up the preseason 4-4.

Charlotte’s Cody Zeller had 13 points and eight rebounds. But he’ll have to wait for another night to face older brother Tyler, who remains out following an appendectomy.

The Bobcats (4-3) came into the game with the league’s best defense this preseason, allowing fewer than 83 points per game. The Cavaliers were the first team to score 90 points against them.

Kelly says Lombard, a two-year starter, underwent surgery Wednesday to repair a herniated disk. Freshman Steve Elmer will take over as the starting right guard.

Kelly says Kona

Schwenke will start on the defensive line instead of Nix. Kelly says Nix has not been able to practice this week because of his knee, so he won’t make the trip to Colorado on Saturday. Nix also sustained a shoulder injury against USC. Kelly says quarterback Tommy Rees, who missed most of the second half against USC with a neck injury, looked good in practice all week.

Village income tax delinquency at all-time high

BOTKINS — Botkins Village Council members discussed what to do about the increase in the village’s delinquent income taxes, a street resurfacing project, and future school traffic during their recent meeting.

Village Solicitor Stan Evans told council that he has never seen the kind of increase in delinquent income taxes being experienced by the village at this time. Evans said usually the village will have five to six residents with delinquent income taxes, but this year, it is at an all-time high of 37 residents with delinquent income taxes.

Village Administrator Jesse Kent said Joy Bond from the city of St. Marys handles the village’s income taxes. All 37 residents with delinquent taxes have been subpoenaed. The village can take legal action in small claims court against the residents at a cost of approximately $100 per claim, which would cost the village about

$3,700. The village is owed $21,568.73 in back taxes.

Evans said he has received the names of an additional six residents with delinquent taxes. Those individuals have criminal actions for not filing taxes.

Council member Chris Brown asked if the village can garnish court costs.

Evans responded that the village can recoup court costs and attorney fees. Evans charges the village slightly over $700 in fees for preparing information on the cases.

Council agreed that Evans should proceed with legal action to collect the money.

Councilman Steve Heuker said he would like to know if the village has spent more over the years to collect the delinquent taxes then it gets in payment of the back taxes.

Heuker and Mayor Steve Woodruff asked about ways to find out if collections are effective in resolving delinquent tax issues.

Kent told council members that the bid opening

was held for the resurfacing project on South Main Street. There was only one bid. Barrett Paving Materials Inc. submitted a bid of $157,760.35. Kent noted that the bid came in a little lower than anticipated. The project will run on South Main Street at State Street to Lock Two Road.

The project will involve mill and fill and replacing to the same elevation. Kent said the project will involve one day of grinding and two days of paving. There will be approximately 40 truckloads of grindings. Kent said he will work with Woodruff to determine where the grindings will go, with some going to the park and others to the water tower. The village will be having a bump removed from in front of Steinke’s for the project.

Woodruff asked about traffic flow during the project.

Kent told him that when he hears about the timing of the project, he will notify council by email. Heuker said

he wanted to avoid problems with property owners.

Kent said he will talk with Steinke’s about expectations before the project begins.

Kent gave council members a handout on financing the resurfacing project.

Council member Nick Greve asked about the financing of the lift station and Kent said that money is in the sewer fund. Greve asked about the Bureau of Motor Vehicles funds and it was noted that a $5 fee is held for the village with each license until the village requests the money.

There is approximately $40,000 in that fund for the project.

Council declared an emergency and suspended the readings for an ordinance approving Barrett’s bid.

Council declared an emergency and suspended the readings for an ordinance and approved the resurfacing project.

Woodruff discussed future school traffic with council members and noted that

he would suggest that all buses use the Walnut Street entrance to go in and out because of the radius of the road.

Council member Josh Meyer asked if it would wear down the road and Woodruff said it will, but will wear on one road and one intersection.

Woodruff said he went to the intersection to check visibility and Greve asked how they will park school buses.

Woodruff said they will park the buses in the current bus parking lot during the day.

Heuker asked about problems with the blacktop at the stop signs on Walnut Street and suggested looking at illuminating the two stop signs. Following a discussion, Woodruff will try and get on the Botkins Board of Education’s agenda for the November meeting. Council members were asked to think about bus routes.

Kent told council members he received a letter from Time Warner Cable stating

that it is going to all digital and is informing the village that those residents who still have analog television will have to purchase a box to be able to see the channels.

Kent reminded council members that they had approved him attending an economic development event in California, which was canceled. The ticket purchased at the time of the plans is going to expire soon. Kent has been told about another event in Hackensack, N.J. He will send council members an email about that event.

Kent told council members that he did not receive anything about animal nuisances from Lance Mihm of the Wapakoneta Daily News.

Mihm was going to send him a copy of Waynesfield’s ordinance. Mihm has left the Wapakoneta Daily News and may have forgotten to send the information.

Woodruff said he would like to look at ordinances about animal nuisances and Kent will keep researching.
