Council keeps Wilkinson/Ohio 47 access

With more than a million dollars in state funding at stake, the city of Sidney will propose that the north leg of Wilkinson Avenue remain open at the Ohio 47 intersection.

Closing of that section of Wilkinson at Ohio 47 is part of a $1.4 million safety improvements project on the state route from Franklin Avenue

to Vandemark Road. The Ohio Department of Transportation would pay 90 percent of the cost.

After listening to four options presented by the city staff, Sidney City Council Monday night came to a consensus that the fourth option of doing nothing at the intersection would be the best one. Council members cited the need to allow property owners to maintain access to their properties.

Randy Magoto, the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s engineering manager, presented options to council after explaining that sight-distance calculations for the intersection indicate that a car traveling at the current 45 mph speed limit on Ohio 47 (Court Street) would need 500 feet to avoid a car turning left from Wilkinson and 430 feet for a car turning right. The configuration of the intersection does not allow for those dis-

tances. The figures would be only 15 mph/170 feet to meet the sight-distance recommendations. Magoto said traffic volume is low north and south from Wilkinson at the intersection and there have been few accidents and no fatalities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m all for safety concerns,â&#x20AC;? said Councilman Tom Miller, but he added that people should have access to their properties.

Kettlersville history program set Sunday K ET T L E R SV I L L E — The Anna District Historical Society is sponsoring the third in a series of events that will allow local residents to take a walk back in time to learn about Kettlersville’s history.

According to Paul Workman, a member of the Anna District Historical Society, local residents will have a chance to hear about what Kettlersville was like during the early 1900s.

The program is titled, “Focus on Kettlersville: 1920s-1940s, A Time to Share Memories About Kettlersville.”

The event will be held Sunday from 2 to 3:30 p.m. at the Immanuel Church of Christ in Kettlersville. The event is open to the public and there is no cost to attend.

The program will be moderated by Linda Glessner and Workman.

While there will be no formal speaker, there will be residents and former residents who will share their memories and help to create a conversation among those who attend about their own memories of the village.

In addition to the discussion, there will be photographs and memo-

rabilia of Kettlersville in the early days.

The Anna District Historical Society previously had programs about Anna and McCartyville, with both programs wellattended.

The Anna District Historical Society is an educational organization whose purpose is to promote and provide an education about the heritage of the Anna, McCartyville and Kettlersville areas.

The organization provides meetings, programs, research, commemorative activities and memorabilia for those villages.

The Anna District Historical Society meets the third Tuesday of each month at 6:30 p.m. at the Anna Town Hall. Those in the organization would like to see local residents participate in the organization.

The officers of the Anna District Historical Society include Glessner, president; Workman, vice president; Carol Carity, secretary; and Susie Bertsch, treasurer.

The trustees of the organization include Bruce Ailes, Jim Nolte, Kathie Eshleman, Carol Wentz, Nancy Martin and Sarah Bertsch.

PLATSVILLE — The Green Township Trustees will hold a special meeting on Friday at 5 p.m. at the township building in

Plattsville. The meeting is being held to discuss the specifications for bidding to purchase a truck and snowplow.

that the Miller’s started a conversion project. The community came together and funded a large chunk of this massive project. Her nephew, Ryan Sosby, created a fund-raising project with social media sites. The community pulled together donating $40,000. The Millers greatly appreciated this demonstration of support and moved forward to purchase and install a large server. The Millers have made some changes to their real estate holdings and now

focus on Jackson Center. Movies now arrive on a hard drive and is ingested into the server. This “plug and play” process required the expensive updates to existing machinery. “Since the conversion to digital we will remain in Jackson Center,” said Becky. Being a part of the community they love is their future. A tour of the facility shows strong attention to vintage details, cleanliness, and a genuine love for the old building. The crying room is

no longer in use, but is still there on the second floor.

ommended the state-approved third option of closing access to the north leg of Wilkinson at Ohio 47.

City Manager Mark Cundiff said the city will present the proposal to leave the intersection unchanged to ODOT. He said ODOT might decide that it won’t fund the rest of the Ohio 47 project. It that happens, the issue may come back to council for reconsideration.

Three Sidney residents with an interest in the intersection spoke to council.

David Fleming, who said he works downtown and has an office near the intersection, said he’s seen many cars trying to turn at the intersection and he’s had to slow for them. He said the entire city would benefit from the ODOT project because of the improvements it would make to the growing west side of Sidney. “What is the greater good for the community?” he asked.

Scott Dickman, owner of 135 S. Wilkinson Ave., said closing the intersection would hurt his property in terms of its use for business. He noted that semi rigs coming to the site would have to take Michigan Street and turn onto Wilkinson.

Michael Cole, owner of 130 S. Wilkinson Ave., questioned the need to redesign the intersection.

He said he spent “well into six figures” to improve his property. He also said closing the access would funnel traffic onto Railroad Street, which is not an approved city street.

The speed limit on the short, limited-access section of Ohio 47 from downtown to the west side was another issue the city may address in the future. The city got the OK from ODOT to decrease it from 50 to 45 mph earlier this year. But council and the city staff wondered if it could be reduced further. “It doesn’t make any sense to me” to jump the speed limit from 35 to 50 and then back to 35, Cundiff said.

From page 1 Miller and several other council members felt making Wilkinson right turn only onto Ohio 47 would be the best answer. But in his report, Magoto stated the city law director said that could increase the city’s liability because the city would be implementing a traffic-flow pattern that “contradicts established design standards.”

Death penalty still an option in triple slaying case THOMAS J. SHEERAN Associated Press

CLEVELAND (AP) — An Ohio prosecutor announced Tuesday after a lengthy review that he will seek the death penalty against a triple murder suspect whose alleged victims were found in trash bags in a run-down East Cleveland neighborhood.

Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Timothy McGinty said a county grand jury added specifications that could lead to a death sentence for Michael Madison, 36.

He’s charged with killing three women and dumping their bodies. The death-penalty option was added in an updated indictment that came after prosecutors reviewed the case.

Madison, a convicted sex offender, has pleaded not guilty.

His attorney, David Grant, had argued against making it a death-penalty case. Grant did not immediately return a phone message seeking comment on the death penalty decision.

The bodies were found in July after police received a call about a foul smell coming from a garage.

The 14-count updated indictment includes two counts each of aggravated murder for each victim, reflecting allegations that

the alleged crimes were a pattern and were done while committing another felony.

The indictment also includes three counts of kidnapping, three of gross abuse of a corpse, one count of rape and one of weapons possession by an ex-convict.

Madison was arrested in the deaths of Shirellda H. Terry, 18; Angela H. Deskins, 38; and Shetisha D. Sheeley, 28. The medical examiner said Terry and Deskins were strangled and Sheeley died of “homicidal violence by unspecified means.”

Madison was classified as a sex offender in 2002 when he was sentenced to four years in prison for attempted rape, according to court records. He had drug-related convictions in 2000 and 2001.

The capital crimes review committee studies cases to make sure execution is pursued on a fair basis.

Since McGinty took office one year ago, his office has reviewed 37 potential capital cases, including 15 initiated by his predecessor.

“This is the fourth wtime since Prosecutor McGinty took office — and the second time in 22 cases since he initiated a new capital review protocol — that he has decided to seek capital punishment,” his office said.

Nation/World Today in History The Associated Press

Today is Wednesday, Oct. 30, the 303rd day of 2013.

There are 62 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Oct. 30, 1938, the radio play “The War of the Worlds,” starring Orson Welles, aired on CBS. (The live drama, which employed fake breaking news reports, panicked some listeners who thought the portrayal of a Martian invasion was real.)

On this date: In 1735, the second president of the United States, John Adams, was born in Braintree, Mass.

In 1885, poet Ezra Pound was born in Hailey, Idaho.

In 1893, the U.S. Senate gave final congressional approval to repealing the Sherman Silver Purchase Act of 1890.

In 1912, Vice President James S. Sherman, running for a second term of office with President William Howard Taft, died six days before Election Day. (Sherman was replaced with Nicholas Murray Butler, but Taft, the Republican candidate, ended up losing in an Electoral College landslide to Democrat Woodrow Wilson.)

In 1921, the silent film classic “The Sheik,” starring Rudolph Valentino, premiered in Los Angeles.

In 1944, the Martha Graham ballet “Appalachian Spring,” with music by Aaron Copland, premiered at the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C., with Graham in a leading role.

In 1945, the U.S. government announced the end of shoe rationing, effective at midnight.

In 1961, the Soviet Union tested a hydrogen bomb, the “Tsar Bomba,” with a force estimated at about 50 megatons.

The Soviet Party Congress unanimously approved a resolution ordering the removal of Josef Stalin’s body from Lenin’s tomb.

In 1972, 45 people were killed when an Illinois Central Gulf commuter train was struck from behind by another train in Chicago’s South Side.

In 1974, Muhammad Ali knocked out George Foreman in the eighth round of a 15-round bout in Kinshasa, Zaire (zah-EER’), known as the “Rumble in the Jungle” to regain his world heavyweight title.

In 1979, President Jimmy Carter announced his choice of federal appeals judge Shirley Hufstedler to head the newly created Department of Education.

In 1985, schoolteacherastronaut Christa McAuliffe witnessed the launch of the space shuttle Challenger, the same craft that would carry her and six other crew members to their deaths in Jan. 1986.

Ten years ago: The House approved an $87.5 billion package for Iraq and Afghanistan.

Four construction workers were killed when an Atlantic City casino parking garage collapsed.

Texan survives being hit by lightning twice SAINT JO, Texas (AP) — An off-road racing enthusiast has survived being struck by lightning twice during the same storm in North Texas.

Casey Wagner said Sunday that doctors told him a tingling feeling would last for about a week.

KTVT-TV reports Wagner was at an off-road competition in Saint Jo, 85 miles northwest of Dallas, when storms arrived.

The 31-year-old Wagner was under a tree when he was hit by lightning. He dropped to his knees then he was struck again. Wagner says he saw sparks during the strikes.

A nurse who happened to be nearby cared for Wagner until he was taken to a hospital, where he was treated and released.

Wagner says he believes God kept him alive — and he plans to start going to church more.

Sandy survivors honor those lost MEGHAN BARR Associated Press

NEW YORK (AP) — The anniversary of Superstorm Sandy was a day of reflection for many — a time to ponder still-missed loved ones who died when coastal communities were hit by an unprecedented surge of seawater and a chance to take stock of how far recovery efforts have come.

And for some taking part in those rebuilding efforts, it was just another day to keep working in hopes of getting homes repaired and people’s lives back in order.

Sandy came ashore on Oct. 29, 2012, sending floodwaters pouring across the densely populated barrier islands of Long Island and the Jersey shore. In New York City, the storm surge hit nearly 14 feet, swamping the city’s subway and commuter rail tunnels and knocking out power to the southern third of Manhattan.

The storm was blamed for at least 182 deaths in the U.S. — including 68 in New York

and 71 in New Jersey — and property damage estimated at $65 billion.

Here is a look at anniversary observances through a series of vignettes detailing how people are commemorating the unprecedented storm: A group of volunteers in neon orange T-shirts was busy at work outside a Freeport, Long Island, home on Tuesday afternoon, cutting pieces of tile and molding on power saws in the driveway and garage of the split-level ranch they were helping repair.

The volunteers are part of the Samaritan’s Purse organization, a charitable group founded by the Rev. Franklin Graham that helps with disaster relief throughout the country.

Samaritan’s Purse supervisor Kevin Vallas said volunteers have been on Long Island since the days immediately following Sandy. He said the group has rebuilt four homes and assisted with cleaning out and repairs on dozens of others, both in

Candles and flashlights will light up the shore along the East Coast as survivors of Superstorm Sandy’s devastation pay their respects to what was lost when the storm roared ashore one year ago. In Staten Island, where Sandy roared ashore and killed 23 people, there are still plenty of reminders of the storm. Wallboard and debris are piled on front lawns. Bungalows are covered in plywood. “Restricted Use” signs are plastered on many front doors.

Intel chief: U.S. spies on allies, they do it, too JULIE PACE and LARA JAKES Associated Press

WASHINGTON (AP) — Facing lawmakers who suggested U.S. surveillance has gone too far, the national intelligence director on Tuesday defended spying on foreign allies as necessary and said such scrutiny of America’s friends — and vice versa — is commonplace.

Another top intelligence official said the collection of phone records that prompted outrage across the Atlantic actually was conducted with the help of European governments. News reports that the National Security Agency had swept up millions of phone records in France, Spain and elsewhere were inaccurate and reflected a misunderstanding of “metadata” that was in fact collected by

NATO allies and shared with the United States, the director of the NSA told a congressional hearing.

The nation’s post-Sept. 11 surveillance programs are coming under increased criticism at home and abroad, capped by recent revelations that the NSA monitored German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s cellphone and those of up to 34 other world leaders. Those reports relied on documents provided by former NSA analyst Edward Snowden.

Congressional leaders who have been staunch supporters of the NSA programs are now saying it is time for a close examination. The White House said Tuesday that President Barack Obama had ordered a full review of the programs and was considering changes.

National Intelligence Director James

Clapper defended the secret surveillance that sweeps up phone records and emails of millions of Americans as vital to protecting against terrorists.

He played down European allies’ complaints about spying on their leaders, saying the allies do it, too.

“That’s a hardy perennial,” Clapper told a House intelligence committee hearing.

He said during his 50 years working in intelligence it was “a basic tenet” to collect, whether by spying on communications or through other sources, confidential information about foreign leaders that reveals “if what they’re saying gels with what’s actually going on.”

Committee Chairman Mike Rogers asked whether allies had conducted the same type of espionage against U.S. leaders. “Absolutely,” Clapper responded.

4 French taken captive in Niger free after 3 years ELAINE GANLEY and RUKMINI CALLIMACHI Associated Press

PARIS (AP) — Four Frenchmen taken hostage by al-Qaida-linked extremists in Niger have been released after three years of captivity and a French-led military intervention in the region that weak-

ened the Islamic radicals.

French President Francois Hollande announced the release Tuesday and credited Niger President Mahamadou Issoufou, who later appeared on television with the hostages. The men, who worked for the Areva nuclear company when taken, had long beards and some wore turbans and

brown robes. They did not speak.

Niger Foreign Affairs Minister Mohamed Bazoum told The Associated Press that the hostages — Pierre Legrand, Thierry Dol, Marc Feret and Daniel Larribe — were freed in neighboring Mali and taken to Niamey, Niger’s capital.

Officials gave few details on the release, but the French defense minister said there was no assault and that France did not pay a ransom. “There was an initiative taken by the network” of the Niger president “which allowed the liberation without a clash,” JeanYves Le Drian told France’s TF 1 television.

Health From page 1 things are getting better by the day.

Medicare chief Marilyn Tavenner said it’s not the administration but insurers who are responsible for cancellation letters now reaching many of the estimated 14 million people who buy individual policies. And, officials said, people who get cancellation notices will be able to find better replacement plans, in some cases for less.

The Associated Press, citing the National Association of I n s u ra n c e Commissioners, reported in May that many carriers would opt to cancel policies this fall and issue new ones.

Administratively that was seen as easier than changing existing plans to comply with the new law, which mandates coverage of more services and provides better financial protection against catastrophic illnesses.

While the administration had ample warning of the cancellations, they could become another public relations debacle for President Barack Obama’s signature legislation. This problem goes to the credibility of one of the president’s earliest promises about the health care overhaul: You can keep your plan if you like it.

In the spring, state insurance commissioners started giving insurers the option of canceling existing individual

plans for 2014, since the coverage required under Obama’s law is more robust. Some states directed insurers to issue cancellations. Large employer plans that cover most workers and their families are unlikely to be affected.

The cancellation notices are now reaching policyholders, and they’ve been complaining to their lawmakers — who were grilling Tavenner on Tuesday.

“Based on what little information the administration has disclosed, it turns out that more people have received cancellation notices for their health care plans this month than have enrolled in the (health care website),” said Ways and Means Chairman Dave Camp, R-Mich. He cited a news report of 146,000 cancellations in his state alone.

Up and down the dais, lawmakers chimed in with stories of constituents who had received similar notices. Republicans offered examples of people being asked to pay more.

Democrats countered by citing constituents who had been able to find lower-cost coverage than they have now. Ranking Democrat Sander Levin of Michigan said one of his constituents has been paying $800 a month for a BlueCrossBlueShield plan and managed to

find comparable coverage for $77, after tax credits that lower the premiums.

Still, Levin added, “This has become a matter of legitimate discussion.”

It could take months to sort out the balance of individual winners and losers. There’s not a central source of statistics on how many people have gotten cancellations. Even the number of people who buy insurance individually is disputed.

It isn’t the administration’s fault, said Tavenner. “In fact the issuer has decided to change the plan; (they) didn’t have to.”

Obama’s promise dates back to June of 2009, when Congress was starting to grapple with overhauling the health care system to cover uninsured Americans.

“If you like your health care plan, you’ll be able to keep your health care plan, period,” the president said in remarks to the American Medical Association. “No one will take it away, no matter what.”

Some immediately saw the promise as too broad to deliver on, given that health plans are constantly being changed by the employers that sponsor them or by insurers directly.

Nonetheless, Democrats in Congress devised a complicated scheme called “grandfathering” to try to make good on Obama’s

pledge. It shields plans from the law’s requirements, provided the plans themselves change very little.

Insurers say it has proven impractical.

The White House weighed in Tuesday, with spokesman Jay Carney saying the changes are part of a transition to better coverage. “The good news,” he said, “is that for every one of these individuals who might have a plan that is almost by definition providing less than minimal benefits … you are now being offered a variety of options, including options by the very insurer that covers you already, for new coverage.”

Critics say that’s like an airline forcibly upgrading you from economy to business class, and exposing you to a higher ticket price.

Tavenner delivered the most direct mea culpa yet from the administration for the technical problems that have kept many Americans from signing up through HealthCare. gov.

“I want to apologize to you that the website has not worked as well as it should,” she told the committee.

The first senior official to publicly answer questions from lawmakers, Tavenner was pressed not only on what went wrong with the website, but also whether lawmakers can trust recent promises

that things will be running efficiently by the end of November.

She declined to provide enrollment numbers, repeating nearly 20 times they will not be available until midNovember. But she did try to lower expectations of a strong initial sign-up. “We expect the initial number to be small,” Tavenner said.

An internal memo obtained by The Associated Press showed that the administration expected nearly 500,000 uninsured people to sign up for coverage in October, the program’s first month. Committee chairman Camp told Tavenner that by his math, the administration appears headed for less than a fourth of that.

Outside contractors testified last week that there wasn’t sufficient time to test the complex online enrollment system, which froze the day it was launched, Oct. 1.

The website is supposed to be the online portal to coverage for people who don’t have health plans on the job.

Its audience is not only uninsured Americans but those who already purchase coverage individually.

Under the law, middleclass people can qualify for tax credits to make private health insurance more affordable, while low-income people will be steered to Medicaid in states agreeing to expand that safety net program.

YOUR DENTAL HEALTH

How long can it [a dental problem] wait?

By Dr. Jeff Van Treese

I

t is simply human nature to procrastinate dental work. There are multiple known reasons for this including fear of discomfort, time constraints, and fear of the unknown.

Modern dental techniques that make dental care much more comfortable than in days past, technology that makes dental appointments much shorter, and a plethora of free information about dentistry that can be found on the Internet and in dental office multimedia sources, make these reasons less and less significant for Jeff Van Treese, D.D.S. procrastination of dental treatment.

Over the past several years, financial reasons seem to be emerging as the most common reason that people tend to postpone needed dental care.

Ironically, postponing dental care for financial reasons usually costs much more when pain develops, or a tooth breaks. Tooth decay and periodontal (gum) disease follow predictable courses of development. When a dentist first detects a problem, usually the disease process has already progressed significantly.

Cavities begin when the surface of the tooth begins to dissolve from acids produced by germs. Usually, they are at least 40-50% larger than they actually appear on a typical dental x-ray. Once it reaches the inner part of the tooth (the dentin), decay spreads rapidly causing the support mechanism for the brittle outer shell (the enamel) to turn mushy. Teeth break and crumble when this occurs.

Once the cavity reaches the pulp of the

tooth (â&#x20AC;&#x153;nerveâ&#x20AC;?), then an abscess develops.

The only alternatives at that point are tooth removal or root canal therapy.

Periodontal disease starts at bleeding gums. Simply put, healthy gums donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t bleed. Left untreated, the bone begins to react to the inflammation and then breaks down. Over time, bone is lost that cannot be replaced. Eventually, the affected teeth become loose and then are lost.

Treating cavities and gum disease at early stages cost much less than fixing advanced problems. Furthermore, dental insurance companies usually are designed to manage early dental problems rather than advanced dental disease. In fact, insurance companies usually assume that a person is in perfect dental health when they become a client. This is obvious because so many dental plans have preexisting condition clauses and missing tooth clauses that negate coverage for advanced dental procedures to treat problems that were initiated before the dental insurance took effect. Many dentists are beginning to offer financial arrangements that provide opportunities to postpone payments for dental treatment rather than the care itself. The bottom line is this.... postponing needed dental care for financial reasons is unwise.

4 reasons for hating breast cancer

Letters to the editor Show community spirit; vote for school levy To the editor: Community spirit is like watching a game on TV: To really feel the excitement, you have to be there, to get involved. Getting involved — voting on the coming tax levy — is the participation our community needs from each of us. In this instance, part of community spirit is the continuing debt we owe to both our parents and our children for a solid education.

The Sidney schools, nearly all of which were built during my lifetime, mean two things to me: 1. School buildings that were well-conceived, welldesigned, well-maintained, and staffed with educators and administrators who have cared about our children.

2. A parade of children, myself included, who have had the benefit of an excellent education in Sidney.

It took local citizens with selfless community spirit — who for generations have understood the close connection between a quality education and the vibrancy of our local economy — to look at the education needs of our community.

Their vision for both current needs and the foreseeable future allowed them to act in a responsible way to ensure those needs were met. The Sidney community has built schools, torn down old schools, and built new schools for nearly 175

years. They’ve hired administrators and educators to provide the curriculum and guidance that have allowed our community’s children to advance and excel.

At every turn for almost 175 years, the community has balanced educational needs against our ability to pay for what is requested of us. Recently, the naysayers didn’t want property owners to be the only ones to bear the burden of replacing existing tax mils. And then the naysayers were successful in defeating a small income tax that would have spread, fairly, the cost of educating our children across our community.

Our schools and our children have joined in shouldering the burden of budget and salary reductions and fewer class offerings. It’s now our turn to help assure our children’s futures by providing the best educational environment we can.

I think that it is horribly laughable that the naysayers seem to think that it will be “someone else” or “the government” that will pay that price. Their only real message is that they don’t want to pay to be part of our community.

Please join me and vote “yes” for the Sidney City Schools income tax levy, because our children and our community need for it to pass.

Duane Mullen 200 E. Parkwood St.vv

Education of young must be priority To the editor: I have been a resident of Sidney for the past 37 years. During this time I have supported the schools. The education of our young people must be a priority. Research shows that without an education a person cannot maintain or improve their quality of life.

Sidney City Schools has made cuts like all of us have had to with the economic crisis. The schools continue to watch their spending as all of us do.

The schools are not asking for additional money, they are asking to collect the same amount but in a different way. I urge you to support the school system and the students of Sidney City Schools.

They are our future.

I would like to thank the teachers, support staff, custodians, cooks, secretaries, and administrators for all they do for the students of Sidney.

stringent guidelines.

My own ambiguous ultrasound six years ago resulted in the need for a biopsy, being told the lump was highly suspicious. I thought about surgery, and about losing my long blonde hair.

I looked at wigs and even tried to make my husband Larry promise that if I needed chemotherapy, he would shave his head like former NFL quarterback Brett Favre had done for his wife, Deanna.

It is estimated that about 1.6 million breast biopsies are performed in the U.S. annually with about 80 percent being benign (noncancerous). These are hopeful statistics, but I did not know them until afterward.

That is after I was sitting on the edge of my chair in the consulting room waiting to hear the biopsy’s results.

My husband held my hand tightly as the nurse smiled and shared the good news that I was among the 80 percent cancer-free.

Momentarily, I was elated, but I couldn’t help but think about statistics again.

Survivor’s guilt reminded me that soon, another woman would be sitting in that very same chair hearing that her biopsy revealed she had cancer.

Like my young friend Monica, who is my third reason for hating breast cancer.

We used to lie on our mats next to each other during

Pilates class and giggle like school girls. Monica was smart. She was a teacher, and she was only 29 when this dreaded disease took her life in 2011.

Then last October this hater-of-females caused my 41-year-old friend Kimberly to head for heaven’s shores long before what seemed her time. I was there as a bridesmaid when she married, and present at the birth of her first baby. It was only right that I held her hand just hours before she breathed her last earthly breath leaving behind three children and a grieving husband.

Losing three precious friends to cancer, and having had a close brush myself continues to fuel my passion for making sure that other females will have the opportunity for early detection resulting in optimal success for survival. You see, breast cancer is very personal when you or someone you love is battling this formidable foe which takes the lives of 40,000 U.S. women each year.

Vote to continue progress in Sidney City Schools To the editor: As the Nov. 5 Election Day draws near, Sidney City Schools residents are faced with how to help continue funding our schools at current levels. We have made significant financial progress over the past several years and want to continue in that mode.

We are so very close to securing the financial needs of the district for the next five years. That’s all we’re asking of the taxpayers — to try this new (to Sidney Schools) 1 percent, five-year traditional income tax method. Five years gives the school the opportunity to continue building its relationship with the community, work on implementing new strategies to improve our state grade card, and the chance to see how this collection method works for our financial picture. It gives the community the

To the editor: With all the recent news coverage on grade cards for Shelby County schools, we would like to share our experience with Sidney City Schools.

We have three children, two of which are Sidney High graduates and one who is a freshman at SHS. All three of our children studied at Whittier, Northwood and SMS before going onto SHS. Our daughter graduated from BGSU and stated classes at SHS prepared her for college. Our son, a petroleum engineering major at Marietta College, is studying with young people from all over the United States and foreign countries. He was surprised to find out how much more prepared he is through his calculus, chemistry and if the cost is higher in the physics classes at SHS than many of village, many will move to his fellow students (A+ if we were an area outside the village. grading).

A few things I would like to do is pursue the possibility of selling water. A lot of villages sell water to companies that fill pools and cisterns. Another thing I would like to check into is what we can do to make it easier for business to build in the industrial park. One thing I can think of is lower or remove the tap-in fees to the water and sewer hookup. If lowering the cost would get a business to move here, we would recoup the money in a short time with the income tax.

Also, what can we do to make it easier for contractors to put in new subdivisions? One thing is maybe we could have the village employees install the water and sewer taps. This was done in the past and maybe could be done again to help lower the cost. Let’s face it,

chance to become more intimately involved with our schools, to see the progress that is made, and a chance to see how this new collection method works for them.

Over the past several months, I have been involved in many community group and individual discussions regarding our schools.

When it comes right down to it, we all want the same things. We want schools that are run efficiently and effectively, good administrators, teachers and other staff and children who are prepared to move into the next phase of their life as productive citizens.

Passage of the levy will help us to attain that goal.

Also apparent during our levy discussions is that no one likes to pay taxes. I get it. I don’t either.

However, I know that I cannot sit back and wait for someone else

to do it. We have to take care of our own. The state of Ohio and Washington, D.C., are not going to do it for us. We have to analyze our individual circumstances and balance them with the needs of our community. Hopefully, this analysis results in a “yes” vote.

On behalf of our Citizens for Sidney Schools levy committee, I appreciate the feedback we have gotten along the way. We’ve had many frank and candid discussions about the good things in our district and the things that need improvement. We’ve listened.

We’ve acted. And, we’ll continue to do so with your support.

Vote “yes” for Sidney!

Renee Davis Citizens for Sidney Schools, Levy Co-Chair 325 E. Pinehurst St.

Parents give schools A+ ment of classes and clubs to prepare students for the future. Many students are involved with Student Council, marching band and sports of all types and continue to get good grades. The SHS Academia team is leading the county right now and has had much success in past years (another A+).

It’s difficult to use a “graded system” to compare Sidney Schools with surrounding schools. Sidney serves children from many different academic and socioeconomic backgrounds and turns no one away! This diversity of students provides a challenging environment for teachers and staff. But, Sidney Schools continue to provide a quality education for all children giving them tools to achieve their dreams and ambitions (another A+).

The equation for a thriving school system looks like this: Qualified Teachers + Safe Buildings + Support From Parents + Support From

Community = Successful Students.

If you have read up to this point, you know Sidney teachers are up to the task. Local law enforcement has made our school buildings safe for the students. The parental support is amazing. If you doubt this, please attend a grade school play, middle school band concert or high school sporting event.

But get there early or you will have to stand in the back behind all the parents (another A+).

There is one thing missing from the successful school equation listed above … community. This is where you come in. Please consider all the successes Sidney students are achieving at Sidney City Schools and vote “yes” for Sidney City Schools when you vote on Nov. 5th!

Tyler and Pam Wilson 410 E. Pinehurst St.

Hold your nose and vote yes across the nation — piggybacking their own internal reform on corporate reform and dysfunctional testing — have been matching new physical facilities to contemporary learning strategies. The proposed NBS facilities, with a potential life of three decades, won’t reflect even the rest of this decade’s changes in learning approaches.

This project has been in process for years, now seen urgent should Ohio curtail matching OSFC funding. But some numbers do not compute. OSFC will contribute $6.9 million, nominally one-half a facility’s cost. That makes the K-6 building’s cost $13.8 million. But the project is cited as costing $21.5 million. Is $7.7 million required to add grades 7 and 8 to the high school’s structure? What part of your $7.7 million in taxes is actually going to education; what part without disclosure to unnecessary sports’ spending?

So the argument is, vote for the levy, because in this instance

at least a majority of it is “for the children.” Then participate in NBS board meetings in force, to demand more effective and transparent board oversight of a system that spends far more time feeling good, more time and resources on marketing and hype, and less time and assets improving real learning, than K-12 systems that legitimately claim excellence.

This Nov. 5 vote is a demonstration that we live in an imperfect world of trade-offs. As challenging as this choice has been made by NBS boards and administrations that have been short on transparency and accountability, the end game has to be giving the next generation the tools to be and do better. Hold your nose, but vote yes as an affirmation of support for learning.

DEAR DR. ROACH: I have degenerative disk disease, spina bifida, spinal stenosis, curvature of the spine and disk herniation. A friend told me that a friend died after having back surgery — from rusting of the rods that were put in. Is it possible for rods to rust after implantation? Any help would be appreciated on back surgery. — G.C. ANSWER: There are many reasons to be hesitant about back surgery, but rusting of the rods is not one of them.

The materials used don’t rust inside the body.

You have so many back issues (spina bifida is when the bones of the spine don’t completely grow around the spinal cord, although there are many different types) that you need an expert to discuss your possible treatments. Infection is the most feared complication whenever artificial materials are placed in the body.

In general, have a healthy skepticism when hearing about medical issues from a friend of a friend.

DEAR DR. ROACH: I recently had an initial appointment with a physician who has an on-site lab. I’m a healthy 61-year-old female coming for a wellness exam. At the end of the visit, he told me the phlebotomist would be coming in to draw my blood. This was a 1 p.m. appointment, and I had eaten both breakfast and lunch. I informed him that I had eaten and told him I would prefer to be fasting. He said that was fine and I could come back at a later date. The blood work included cholesterol testing as well as blood glucose.

ANSWER: Fasting cholesterol and glucose levels have different interpretations from those after eating, but both provide useful information.

Fasting results are better standardized, but normal results after eating are reassuring.

Since some people never come back for their blood tests, we often prefer to get what readings we can, and repeat only if the levels are abnormal.

Lady Cavs advance to regional championship Rob Kiser HAMILTON — The Lehman soccer team didn’t consider the score settled with Summit Country Day — until the final horn sounded in a D-III regional semifinal at Hamilton High School’s Virgil Schwarm Stadium Tuesday night. It was a battle of soccer titans as Lehman came in ranked second in the state in D-III and Summit, a state semifinalist last year, was fourth. The Lady Cavaliers 4-2 victory moved them to Keller where no Shelby County soccer team has been before — one game from state. And it was the second win over Summit this year, including a 2-1 regular season victory. Lehman will play Hamilton Badin at 3 p.m.

Saturday with the game tentatively scheduled for Hamilton.

“They (Summit Country Day) were the ones that knocked

us out of the tournament last year,” Lehman senior Taylor Lachey said. “So, this feels great.” The Cavaliers did it despite being outshot 17-6, with keeper Grace Frantz making 10 saves. “Summit is a great team,” Lehman coach Tony Schroeder said. “It is not easy to beat a team like that twice in the same season.” After the Knights got a backside goal off a corner kick just 4:59 into the game, Lehman went to work on the offensive end on the start of a big night for Ashley Keller. On a ball that appeared to be headed for a goal kick, Keller hustled and with some fancy footwork kept the ball alive near the end line. “It was just like I told you after the Miami East game,” Keller said.

“You have to follow everything.

You can’t ever give up on a ball.”

She was able to cross to Sara

Fuller, who touched it over to Lachey for the equalizer with 30:08 remaining in the first half. “Ashley just made a great play on the ball and I finished it,” Lachey said. It seemed to swing the momentum. “That was huge after they had scored,” Schroeder said. “That was just a great hustle play by Ashley (Keller).”

Lehman took the lead with 24:49 remaining when Madeline Franklin had a great thru ball to the right side about Lachey 20 yards out. Ashley Keller and Katie Edwards both went racing for the ball and got there nearly the same time as the Knights keeper. Keller was able to get a foot on it and it get it past the keeper and it rolled 10 yards into an empty net to give Lehman the lead.

“It was amazing to see that happen,” Edwards said. With

9:34 remaining, Summit was able to tie it on the follow of a deflected shot, but Lehman again had an answer. Lachey sent a perfect corner kick that Keller was able to head into the goal to make it 3-2 with just 3:28 left in the half.

“Corner kicks are one of our strengths,” Lachey said. “I put it in front of the goal and Ashley (Keller) was able to finish it.” It was also created by an effective strategy Lehman was using of sending the ball in the area and beating the Summit defense to it. “We wanted two short kicks and a long kick,” Schroeder said. “That was big, to give us the lead at halftime.” Keller completed her hat trick in an unusual fashion.

With 36:06 remaining in the game, she drilled a shot that the Summit keeper appeared to be in position to save. It deflected

off a Knight defender to the left corner of the goal to make it 4-2. “I don’t know where that came from,” Keller said with a laugh. Schroeder agreed. “That was one of those lucky goals you get sometimes,” he said. “But, you need goals like that when you are playing a team like Summit.” After the frenzy of scoring up to that point, the last 36 minutes was scoreless. And Frantz tipped a couple good Knight shots away to maintain the lead and Summit hit two rockets off the top post in the final two minutes. “It was great to be up 4-2, but we still had 36 minutes to go,” Schroeder said.

“We kind of packed it in (on defense) after that and Grace (Frantz) did a nice job.” When the game ended, Lehman celebrated a big win. “It is amazing (to be one game from the state semifinals),” Lachey said.

And the score with Summit Country Day was settled.

Reds Sox hoping to win series at Fenway BOSTON (AP) — Generations of New Englanders are preparing.

Practically no one alive can remember seeing such an event unfold: The Boston Red Sox could win a World Series title on the celebrated green grass at Fenway Park.

Ted Williams never did it.

Not Carl Yastrzemski. Not Carlton Fisk. Not even Pedro Martinez and Curt Schilling, who ended The Curse nearly a decade ago but did it on the road.

When the Red Sox last won a World Series at home, Babe Ruth, Carl Mays and Harry Hooper were the stars in September 1918, a season cut short by World War I. Ahead of the St. Louis Cardinals 3-2, the Red Sox have two chances to reward their faithful.

“It would be awesome,” said John Lackey, who starts Game 6 on Wednesday night against Cardinals rookie Michael Wacha.

Fenway was just a kid the

last time the Red Sox won a title at home, a modern 6-year-old ballpark. A crowd of 15,238 watched the Red Sox defeat the Chicago Cubs 2-1 to win the Series in six games.

“It was a ball game that nobody who was present will forget. It left too many lasting impressions,” Edward F. Martin wrote the following day in the Boston Globe.

That was so long ago that Woodrow Wilson was president of the United States, television hadn’t been invented and the designated hitter didn’t exist. There were 16 major league teams — none west of St. Louis — all games were played in the daytime and the NFL was 23 months from formation.

Now, Fenway Park is a centurion, the oldest home in the majors and listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

The last time a World Series Game 6 was played between Lansdowne and

Van Ness Streets was in 1975, the night Fisk sent Pat Darcy’s second pitch of the 12th inning high down the left-field line and waved his arms three times, urging the ball fair, before it clanked off the yellow foul pole atop the Green Monster.

“I was just wishing and hoping,” Fisk recalled in 2005. “Maybe by doing it, you know, you ask something of somebody with a higher power. I like to think that if I didn’t wave, it would have gone foul.”

Boston needed that 7-6 win to force a seventh game against Cincinnati, and the Red Sox went on to lose the following night.

Now, they are one win Elise Amendola|AP from setting off a Boston Glee Boston Red Sox designated hitter David Ortiz walks into the dugout after a workout at Fenway Park in Party.

Same pairings as last year in D-IV regional volleyball When Fort Loramie, Lehman, Jackson Center and Marion Local get togther Thursday night at Tipp City in Division IV Regional volleyball action, it will be the second year in a row those four teams have qualified for this regional.

The pairings are the same as last year, with Jackson Center playing top-ranked Marion

Local at 6 p.m., followed by county rivals Lehman and Fort Loramie squaring off.

The winners return Saturday at 2 p.m. to play for a state tournament berth next week.

During the regular season, Jackson Center took Marion Local to five games before losing, and Lehman defeated Fort Loramie in five games, with the last one being 15-13.

Marion Local goes into the regional with a 23-1 record, Fort Loramie is 22-4, Jackson Center 20-6 and Lehman 18-8.

In the final Ohio High School Volleyball Coaches Association state rankings for Divsion IV, Marion Local was No. 1, Fort Loramie No. 10, Lehman No. 14 and Jackson Center No. 16.

Marion Local is going for its

second consecutive D-IV state title and its third in the last five years. Lehman won the state championship in 2010.

This will be the sixth straight year that Fort Loramie, Jackson Center and Lehman have been the three Southwest District representatives to the regional, with Marion Local joining those three in four of the five years.

Since 2000, the only teams to make the regional that were not from Shelby County or the Midwest Athletic Conference are Lancaster Fisher Catholic in 2007 and 2008, when a Central District team went instead of one from the Northwest District, Twin Valley South in 2000 and 2007, and Southeastern in 2001.

Trade deadline passes, Gordon stays CLEVELAND (AP) — An undeniable talent, Josh Gordon is also a risk. And the Browns believe one worth hanging on to.

With rampant trade speculation swirling around Gordon for weeks, the Browns decided to keep the wide receiver who has developed into Cleveland’s top playmaker but whose off-field issues will continue to loom over the team.

When the NFL’s 4 p.m. trade deadline arrived Tuesday, the Browns sent out official word that they did not make any deals — involving Gordon or any other player on their roster.

The Browns received calls on a number of players, but did not accept an offer.

Following Cleveland’s 23-17 loss on Sunday in Kansas City, Gordon, who was suspended for two games earlier this season for violating the league’s substanceabuse policy, said he was eager for the deadline to pass.

“I do want to stay in Cleveland,” he said after catching five passes 132 yards and a 39-yard touchdown. “Cleveland is my first home, the team I got drafted to. It’s a great place to be. I love the fans in Cleveland and everything about it, but

business is business.”

On Monday, coach Rob Chudzinski reiterated that the team was not “shopping” Gordon or any other players.

Besides fielding calls on potential deals, the Browns were busy tweaking their roster.

The club signed free agent wide receiver Armanti Edwards, who previously played under Chudzinski in Carolina.

The 5-foot-11 Edwards returned punts for the Panthers and he may get a shot to do that with the Browns after Travis Benjamin sustained a seasonending knee injury on Sunday while returning a punt in the third quarter.

The Browns placed the speedy Benjamin on injured reserve as he waits to have surgery.

Also, Cleveland signed rookie offensive lineman Reid Fragel off Cincinnati’s practice squad. The 6-foot-8, 305-pound Fragel was drafted in the seventh round by the Bengals from Ohio State.

The Browns also re-signed linebacker Brandon Magee and receiver Tori Gurley to the practice squad.

The Browns began getting inquiries about Gordon shortly after they traded running back

Trent Richardson to Indianapolis last month in exchange for a first-round draft pick in 2014.

It’s easy to see why Gordon would draw outside interest from any team in the market for a wide receiver. The 6-foot4, 225-pound Gordon has 32 catches for 582 yards and three touchdowns in six games this season. He’s had three 100-yard receiving games, is averaging 18.2 yards per catch and all eight of his career TDs have been at least 20 yards long.

However, Gordon has some baggage.

The 22-year-old was suspended earlier this season for his second failed drug test, which he blamed on prescription cough medicine that contained codeine. He was suspended at Baylor for marijuana use and later failed a test after transferring to Utah. If he fails another drug test, Gordon could be banned from playing by the league for at least one year.

Gordon has also been twice cited this season for speeding in his car, once for going 98 mph.

He has acknowledged his shortcomings and the Browns are hoping Gordon, who was selected in the second round

of the 2012 supplemental draft, will mature and continue to be a productive player. They weren’t the same without him on the

field for the first two games as opposing defenses didn’t have to worry about his speed or size.

Extra points

Our analysis of Division VII, Region 26 remains unchanged from last week.

We know the teams who will make postseason, including the top four who will open as hosts on Nov. 9, but exact matchups are still to be determined.

Of major local interest is whether Fort Loramie can move from sixth to fifth, resulting in a rematch with Lehman, which is fourth and will not move in the standings.

Loramie will win its finale Friday over Riverside (5-4), which will have good point value, but the ‘Skins will have some difficulty gaining second-level points from teams they’ve already beaten. Minster (6-3) has a tough assignment at Delphos St. John’s (5-4), New Bremen (0-9) can’t beat Marion Local (9-0), and Ada (7-2) will be challenged by Lima Central Catholic (7-2). Waynesfield (2-7) could contribute to the “Loramie Point Fund” with a non-league win over Troy Christian (2-2).

Automatic points will flow when Ridgemont (2-7) meets Perry (3-6) since the Redskins defeated both. Upper Scioto Valley (4-5) has no chance against Lehman (8-1).

If several things go their way Loramie can jump Bainbridge Paint Valley (7-2) into fifth place. Paint Valley owns only one win over a winning team and hosts winless Huntington on Friday, making it likely they won’t add many points this weekend. If the Redskins can’t pass Paint Valley, their playoff opener would still be somewhat local at either Marion Local or Covington.

We may have to wait until Saturday night when LCC hosts Ada at Lima Stadium.

Speaking of Troy Christian, the Eagles are playing a partial varsity schedule this year with a return to full competition in 2014. Former Troy coach Steve Nolan is in charge and the Eagles will play Lehman next season in early October.

Minster: Against all odds Minster stayed alive in D-VI, Region 22 last week with a 28-21 double overtime win over Versailles and now must win at Delphos Friday. The Wildcats remain ninth and should be able to hold off No. 10 Fayetteville for a potential upward move.

No. 8 Summit Country Day should handle Lockland (2-7) to secure a berth, meaning Minster would need National Trail (7th) to lose to Tri-County North and fall out of the top eight, which is almost impossible.

The Cats would need second-level assistance from most of the six teams they’ve beaten. Minster will get automatic points from both the St. Henry-Versailles and Anna-Parkway contests but would need more than that even if National Trail loses.

However, those extra points aren’t there as New Bremen won’t beat Marion Local and ditto Fort Recovery and Coldwater.

As recently as last week we were optimistic for Minster if it won out and National Trail lost its last two. Now here in week ten we know that Minster’s current opportunity is only mathematical and not realistic.

40 unbeatens With one week of the regular season remaining, there are still 40 unbeaten teams in Ohio, led by nine in Division III Division IV has five unbeatens, and four of them are in the same region. D-V has the fewest unbeatens left with three.

Certainly not among the unbeatens in Division V is Ironton, which is eighth in its region — with a 3-6 record. Ironton plays its fourth opponent from Kentucky this week.

Record book A glance at the state football records on the Ohio High School Athletic Association website reveals some interesting facts.

In all-time winning percentage in playoff games, Marion Local is second at .842 with a 48-9 record.

First is Midwest Athletic Conference rival Delphos St. John’s at .845 (49-9). St. Henry is fourth at .827 (439), Versailles is fifth at .800 (44-11) and Coldwater sixth at .769 (50-15).

Marion Local, Delphos St. John’s and Versailles are tied for fifth in state championships with six each.

Sidney could break even With a win in Friday’s battle for the Little Brown Jug at Greenville (1-8), Sidney’s return to respectability would be further documented by a 5-5 season, which was preceded by a 4-6 finish that followed two winless campaigns.

While Sidney is at Greenville, other GWOC North matchups include Piqua-Troy and TrotwoodVandalia, the latter being a championship game.

Though future schedules will have some rotation of opponents, these games will remain in week ten to conclude the regular season.

Piqua-Troy is a great rivalry and Sidney has significant history with the Green Wave. From 1925-31 the season closed on Thanksgiving Day with Piqua-Troy and Sidney-Greenville.

After seeing Trotwood (6-2) handle Sidney 48-13 last Friday it’s hard to imagine the Rams not beating Vandalia and making a long playoff run in Division III after appearing in three straight Division II state title games, winning one.

Snow !!!

When we awakened to snow a week ago today we remembered a weekend in 1966 when games were wiped out by a major snowstorm all around the area.

Among the casualties in early November 47 years ago was Sidney at Lima Central Catholic which was cancelled and not rescheduled.

Hunsucker Steve Hunsucker, former head and assistant coach at several schools including Lehman, had been heading up a new football program at Emmanuel Christian in Springfield that would soon ascend to varsity status. He recently told us that the concept is on hold due to low numbers and also a new regulation that allows students the opportunity to play high school football elsewhere as long as their school doesn’t offer the sport.

Advice sought Bellefontaine is contemplating a stadium renovation while Miamisburg is considering a new stadium.

Both have looked at with Sidney Memorial Stadium, which is now in its tenth year and is hoping to install synthetic turf next spring.

A century ago In 1913 the orange and black of Sidney finished 4-3 for Coach Carl Custenborder and played home games at Lakeside Park, now the site of the municipal swimming pool.

In those days the Sidney Daily News was not bashful about expressing opinions on the local gridiron scene.

The SDN urged SHS to stop scheduling New Bremen, especially twice per season. SDN also watched the triangular rivalry in the upper Miami Valley and noted that “the hate of Sidney and Piqua has turned toward Troy.”

This was often manifested when two of the teams would play each other and the third would show up to root for one of the two.

Charges dropped As a follow-up to an item that appeared in a recent Extra Points, at the request of the mayor of Covington, La., and the newly swornin police chief, the district attorney has agreed to drop the charges of public intimidation against two referees who were arrested in the third quarter of a recent game.

The referees got into a confrontation with an officer working the game when fans weren’t moved far enough back from the field.

The tickets will be on

sale at the high school athletic office only until 3 p.m. Friday. They will not be sold at the ticket outlets.

Husted announces October business profiles Featured businesses are part of the “Made in Ohio” theme

COLUMBUS — Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted has announced that as part of an ongoing effort to recognize the impact of Ohio businesses, October’s Ohio Business Profile highlights Ohio’s strong manufacturing roots, featuring companies under the theme “Made in Ohio.” Ohio ranks third in the country in manufacturing and the Ohio General Assembly recently dedicated October as Manufacturing Month in Ohio.

Among featured businesses is the Nidec Minster Corp., of Minster, and Classic Metal Roofing Systems, of Piqua.

“Manufacturing is an important industry for our state that provides good paying jobs for hard working Ohioans and helps to build up and strengthen our economy,” Husted said.

“These companies show that Americans still make highquality and innovative products we use every day.”

Companies profiled in

October included: • Nidec Minster Corp.

– Minster – A world-class supplier of material forming equipment and services.

Founded in 1896, it is one of the longest continually operating manufacturers in Ohio.

• Shoot-A-Way – Upper Sandusky – They supply basketball shooting aides to coaches and players around the world. Their shooting machines, known as “The Gun,” are used by nearly every college in the country

and the USA Olympic basketball team.

• Milacron LLC – Cincinnati – A world leader in the development of plastics processing machinery.

Founded in 1884, they currently employ nearly 1,000 workers in southwest Ohio.

• Classic Metal Roofing Systems – Piqua – Manufactures residential and commercial metal roof systems that help increase a home’s beauty, value and energy efficiency. Their roofs

can be found on Pizza Huts, Dairy Queens and Dunkin’ Donuts stores around the country.

Launched in June 2011, Ohio Business Profile has helped raise awareness about companies registered and doing business in Ohio that are creating interesting products, offering outstanding service, contributing to their local communities and employing Ohioans in the process. Each month, a handful of diverse businesses

linked together by a common theme are featured on the Secretary of State’s website at OhioBusinessProfile.com, where Ohioans are encouraged to go to submit companies they feel are deserving of recognition in future months.

Husted’s office also releases a monthly report of new business filings in Ohio. Recent data has shown that the number of newly-registered businesses in Ohio is up for the year as compared to the same timeframe last year.

SNUFFY SMITH

BY FRANCES DRAKE

For Thursday, Oct. 31, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You can get an enormous amount of work done today simply because you have stamina and endurance. In fact, you will welcome the challenge.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) This is a strong day for people with workout routines related to sports, because they will be surprised by their endurance. You also might slog away to finish something in the hospitality industry.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You can make improvements at home with renovations, residential moves or recommended changes. You have lots of energy to lend to whatever job you decide to do.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You are convincing today, mostly because you're fiercely focused. This is a good day to persuade others to go along with your plans. Don't hesitate -- just make your pitch.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Trust your moneymaking ideas, because you are clever today. You might see new ways to earn money or new uses or applications for something you already own.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Take a realistic look in the mirror today and ask yourself what you can do to improve your appearance. You want reforms in your life and to change the world around you.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Your research abilities are excellent today, primarily because you will be relentless. Look for the answers that you need to find.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) This is a good day to formulate your objectives for the long term. Let others know what your ideas, hopes and dreams for the future are. This will help you.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) You make a great impression on authority figures today -- bosses, parents, VIPs and the police. They see that you're willing to give it all you've got. (People admire hard work and stamina.)

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Travel anywhere will please you today. You also might explore new ideas and further education, and you might talk to people from other cultures so you can feel stimulated by new information.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Discussions about shared property, inheritances and insurance matters will go well today. You intend to get your fair share of things.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) It's important to know that if you work solely for your own benefit today, your results will be lessened.

But if you join forces with others to work for the benefit of others, then you win!

YOU BORN TODAY You have excellent powers of observation. You absorb information, and because you are organized and decisive, you're ready to act. You welcome challenges and are confident to move quickly. You are gentle, kind and accommodating to others. Personally, you love mysteries and sleuthing of the facts of a situation. This year, partnerships and close friendships will be your primary focus.

HOUSTON — Houston High School will present a musical Friday and Saturday that will be a fun-filled tribute to the 1980s.

Shelly Mann returns once again to direct the Wildcat’s drama club. “With a script by Flip Kobler and Cindy Marcus and a score written by Bill Francoeur, with nods to iconic ’80s teen movies and celebrities and a score that captures the hit sounds of the decade, you’ll totally wig out for ‘Totally Awesome 80s,’” the musical’s producers said.

Performances will be at 7 p.m. in the Houston High School commons. Tickets cost $5.

Allie is the poor girl from the wrong side of the tracks who falls for the new guy, Andrew, who’s rich. Allie’s childhood friend, Dempsey, is afraid to reveal his true feelings for Allie and tries to get her attention by hiring cool girl Madison to pretend to be his girlfriend.

But Madison falls for Dempsey, creating new problems.

Meanwhile, the geeky Geo is desperately trying not to be battered by tough guy Tyson, and Brenda is just hoping that someone, anyone, will remember her 16th birthday. On top of everything, Allie and all of her friends are trying to keep Mrs. Keating, their cool teacher with unconventional teaching methods, from being fired.

“You can relive all the totally fresh fun of the decade: big hair and eyeliner, MTV, and Atari, leg warmers and parachute pants,” producers said.

The cast includes Amy McKee as Allie, Xander Gillson as Geo, Ryan Swob as Geo, Moriyah Overby as Brenda, Max Mitchell as Tyson, Heidi Cox as Orchid, Taylor Murphy as Petunia, Deion Booher as Andrew, Kayode Momon as Blaine, Caitlin Ryan as Ferris, Monique Booher as Madison, Alina Maskimov as Sloan, Hallie Heil as Tiffany, Brandon Brewer as Corey, Rachel Zimmerman as Jojo, Kayla New as Kat, Gabby Allen as Mrs. Keating, Cheyenne Coffey as Mrs. Dooley, Mariah Slife as Duckie, Sophie Gilson as Masterson, Abigail Pickering as Hughes, and Emily Cozad as part of the chorus.

knew I would miss my old school and friends, but I thought it would be exciting to move to a new area and make new friends. I also thought it would be fun to move in with my grandmother (Mom’s mom) who is a very nice person. It hasn’t turned out like I thought it would, and I’m feeling homesick for St. Paul. I don’t really like living in Atlanta because the kids at my high school have given me the cold shoulder and treat me like an outsider. I’ve tried all the things one is supposed to do to gain acceptance, but nothing has worked.

I’ve talked it over with my mom and she understands and said it might be better for me to return

DR. WALLACE: I’ve been dating this girl for over a month, and I really like her. My problem is that my sister said that her friend told her that this girl had a bad reputation, so now my sister thinks I should quit dating her. I told my sister that I’ve never heard anything negative about her.

We all go to the same high school and now I don’t know what I should do. Should I ask her about this, or just wait to find out for myself if there is any truth in this? — Nameless, Trenton, N.J.
