Police Chief Evansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; return delayed

ANNA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Although Anna Police Chief Scott Evans was set to resume his duties Monday, upon completion of 60 days of unpaid administrative leave, his return has been deferred pending results of a fitness for duty examination. The exam was reportedly prompted by concern over the safety of village employees, the public and for that of Evans himself.

The Sidney Daily News

reported Saturday that Evans would be back on the job Monday, as confirmed by Mayor Robert Anderson and Anna Council member Richard Steinke.

At that time, Evans was to return to work while council followed through with a feasibility study to determine whether they should Evans turn over law enforcement to the Shelby County Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office.

Evans was placed on unpaid administrative leave in August after allegations of misfeasance, dishonesty and incompetency were raised. Some of the charges were related to unfounded allegations Evans allegedly made to the FBI against Shelby County Sheriff John Lenhart, Chief Deputy Jim Frye, Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lt. Tim Bender, who is also the Anna Fire Chief, and other law

enforcement officials. Other issues were related to the manner in which Evans ran the police department.

However, the Sidney Daily News learned Thursday that Evansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; return was delayed after Anderson and some other council members decided to require him to undergo blood alcohol testing, drug testing and a psychological examination to determine if he is fit for duty. Anderson said Thursday See EVANS | 10

The Shelby County United Way (SCUW) reported week 7 campaign totals at $487,001.

The theme of the campaign is Aspire to Live United.

The Shelby County United Way has thanked all companies, individuals, and families that support the annual campaign. Last year, 112 companies supported the United Way with corporate gifts that totaled $487,045, representing 37 percent of the campaign.

In 2012, 175 local companies allowed their employees to participate in an employee campaign to support the

United Way. SCUWâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leadership giving program, the Cornerstone Society, had 525 members each contribute a gift of $500 or greater, surpassing all previous years.

Support from companies and individuals was received from all communities in Shelby County. Twenty-seven SCUW-funded agencies, programs, and a community wide initiative will receive funding from the proceeds of this campaign.

Cundiff to negotiate for property.

Cundiff said the property will be used for transmission lines to bring water from a site in Washington Township. He said the city may either obtain easements or actually buy the land.

Plans call for construction of the transmission lines to occur in 2015, he said.

Tracy Roche, of McGohan Brabender, an employee benefits brokerage and communications firm, gave a presentation on the impact on city operations of the

National Health Care Act. The act defines a full-time employee as someone who works 30 hours or more a week. The act requires that insurance coverage be offered to full-time employees.

Roche described the financial penalties that would be imposed on employers for not offering insurance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expect the city to have any penalties,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Court grants speedy schedule in Medicaid case ANN SANNER Associated Press

COLUMBUS (AP) — The Ohio Supreme Court agreed Thursday to a speedy schedule in a lawsuit over a legislative panel’s authority to approve Medicaid expansion funding.

Two anti-abortion groups and six Republican lawmakers are suing Ohio’s Department of Medicaid and state Controlling Board after the legislative panel cleared the way last week for Gov. John Kasich’s administration to spend $2.56 billion in federal dollars to cover more thousands more people in the Medicaid health program.

The plaintiffs had argued such speed was warranted because expanded Medicaid coverage

takes effect on Jan. 1.

Without a ruling by then, their attorney Maurice Thompson wrote, “hundreds of thousands of Ohioans may reasonably rely upon, and be misled as to, their eligibility for Medicaid.”

The U.S. government promises to pay for the expansion for three years, gradually phasing down to 90 percent.

Medicaid expansion allows those making up to 138 percent of the federal poverty level, or about $15,860 for an individual, to be eligible for the program.

Attorneys for the state had said there was no need for the court to rush, contending the plaintiffs had offered “only rhetoric” in support of an expedited case.

CLEVELAND (AP) — A sex offender suspected of killing three Ohio women pleaded not guilty Thursday to updated charges including aggravated murder that could lead to a death sentence if he’s convicted.

Deputies escorted Michael Madison, 36, in shackles and an orange jail jump suit into court for a brief arraignment on an updated indictment that added the death penalty option.

Madison’s attorney, David Grant, spoke for his client, entering the not guilty plea and waiving a legal indictment notification deadline.

Grant had lobbied against making it a death penalty case but said he wasn’t surprised by the decision.

Madison is accused of killing three women and leaving the bodies in trash bags in a rundown East Cleveland neighborhood. They were found in July after police were called about an odor coming from a garage.

The medical examiner said victims Shirellda H. Terry, 18, and Angela H. Deskins, 38, were strangled. Shetisha D. Sheeley, 28, died of “homicidal violence by unspecified

KENT (AP) — Kent State University has suspended a fraternity for hazing and other violations.

The Akron Beacon Journal reports that the Gamma Tau chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi was suspended for three years.

The newspaper said an Oct. 7 letter the university sent to the chapter cited a “recent history of violations” and “other investigations of misconduct related to membership intake activity.”

The letter doesn’t explain exactly what the fraternity did, and a Kent State spokesman declined to comment on the suspension. The fraternity and its national organization haven’t commented on the suspension.

WHEELING, W.Va. (AP) — An ex-police officer who fired 26 shots into the glass facade of a federal courthouse in West Virginia had a “deep hatred for the federal government,” a recently broken heart and serious health problems before he was shot to death by an officer at the scene, a federal prosecutor said Thursday.

Although U.S. Attorney William Ihlenfeld declined to be more specific about the motive, Ihlenfeld said

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 drugrelated convictions in 2000 and 2001.

those three things factored into Thomas J. Piccard’s decision to open fire on the federal building in Wheeling on Oct. 10.

Writings expressing hatred for the government were found in Piccard’s Ohio home, and he was carrying five pages when he was shot, Ihlenfeld said.

He declined to offer any detail about what agency or official the former Wheeling police officer might have been upset with.

“I don’t think he’s entitled to or deserves a platform to express his thoughts or ideas,” the prosecutor said at a news conference in Wheeling.

Nothing in Piccard’s writings suggested he planned to die in the courthouse assault, but it’s impossible to know the shooter’s state of mind, Ihlenfeld said.

Neighbors in the Presidential Estates trailer park just across the Ohio River in Bridgeport, Ohio, said Piccard had told them that he was dying of stomach cancer in the days before the shooting and that he had planned to go to Florida to die.

Witnesses also told investigators that Piccard had

lost a dramatic amount of weight and had been vomiting blood.

Ihlenfeld said the autopsy showed Piccard’s stomach was abnormal, but he does not yet have evidence to confirm he had cancer. The medical examiner is expected to provide more details about Piccard’s condition in about a month, he said.

Piccard had his heart broken by a woman he cared about not long before the shooting, the prosecutor said.

Investigators still believe that Piccard, 55, wasn’t targeting any individuals or agencies when he opened fire at the higher part of the glass facade, but surveillance footage shows his aim shifted as two courthouse security officers ran to the windows and looked up.

Shots then started hitting the lower part of the building, Ihlenfeld said, coming within 2 inches of the officers. It was a bright, sunny afternoon, but part of the building was in shadow, so he might have seen them.

“It’s just impossible for us to know what was going on in his mind when those two men walked over to the windows,” he said.

concerns about increasing the national debt and fears that the money from Washington could be cut off.

On Wednesday evening, the Republican leader of the Ohio House told reporters that there was support for the expansion within his caucus. But, he said, some were hesitant to express it.

“Over the years, you learn how to talk to people and find out what they’re thinking,” House Speaker William Batchelder said. “Not what they’re saying — what they’re thinking. And there were a significant number of people in our caucus who felt pretty strongly that we had to do something in order to strengthen the Medicaid program in Ohio.”

more hits. She said a farm bill in Congress could cut food stamps by up to $40 billion over the next decade.

The federal food stamp program distributed $242 million in benefits to Ohioans in July, according to the most recent data from the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services.

Many families that receive food stamps also rely on groceries and support from food banks and other charities to scrape by, said Michelle Riley, CEO of the Foodbank Inc. in Dayton. She said she fears there will be more of a need now for those services, which are already struggling to meet the enormous demand placed on them by the recession and persistently weak economic conditions.

“When you talk about $193 million in direct benefits being cut from the economy, that’s a huge deal,” Riley told The Dayton Daily News. “You can’t balance the budget on the backs of poor people — that has a ripple effect.”

is to carry out the “legislative intent” of the General Assembly regarding program goals and levels of support for state agencies.

In the two-year state budget that lawmakers passed in June, majority Republicans inserted a provision that would have barred the Medicaid program from covering the additional low-income residents allowed under the new federal health care law.

Kasich, who’s also a Republican, later vetoed the item.

The governor had pushed for Medicaid expansion since he introduced his budget in February. But his fellow Republicans who control the Legislature balked, citing

Man pleads not guilty in three slayings

Food stamp benefit decreases in Ohio COLUMBUS (AP) — About 1.8 million Ohioans will see their food stamp benefits decrease slightly on Friday, which advocates for the poor say is going to hurt.

The 2009 economic stimulus bill temporarily boosted the federal food stamp program for its 48 million recipients nationwide. The boosted benefits expire at midnight Thursday, resulting in automatic 5.5 percent cuts to monthly distributions.

For a mother with two children, the reduction means about $29 less per month. For a family of four, it’s a cut of about $36 a month, to $632.

“Thirty six dollars is significant,” said Marilyn Tomasi, spokeswoman for the Mid-Ohio Food Bank.

“It might not be significant for some, but it certainly is to a struggling family who is hungry. You could have a whole chicken dinner once a week for that.”

Lisa Hamler-Fugitt of the Ohio Association of Second Harvest Foodbanks said she expects the program will end up taking

Murphy said in a court filing Tuesday, Ohio wasn’t opposed to a reasonably expedited briefing schedule.

At issue in the lawsuit is whether the quiet but powerful Controlling Board thwarted the intent of the Legislature when it cleared the way for federal funds to be spent on health coverage for the roughly 366,000 Ohioans who would be newly eligible under Medicaid expansion.

Kasich’s administration brought the funding request to the panel, bypassing the full General Assembly. The sevenmember panel, which handles certain adjustments to the state budget, approved it on Oct. 21 on a 5-2 vote.

Today is Friday, Nov. 1, the 305th day of 2013. There are 60 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Nov. 1, 1950, two Puerto Rican nationalists tried to force their way into Blair House in Washington, D.C. to assassinate President Harry S. Truman. The attempt failed, and one of the pair was killed, along with a White House police officer.

On this date: In 1512, Michelangelo finished painting the ceiling of the Vatican’s Sistine Chapel.

In 1765, the Stamp Act went into effect, prompting stiff resistance from American colonists.

In 1861, during the Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln named Maj. Gen. George B. McClellan Generalin-Chief of the Union armies, succeeding Lt. Gen. Winfield Scott.

In 1870, the United States Weather Bureau made its first meteorological observations.

In 1936, in a speech in Milan, Italy, Benito Mussolini described the alliance between his country and Nazi Germany as an “axis” running between Rome and Berlin.

In 1944, “Harvey,” a comedy by Mary Chase about a man and his friend, an invisible six-foot-tall rabbit, opened on Broadway.

In 1949, an Eastern Airlines DC-4 collided in midair with a Lockheed P-38 fighter plane near Washington National Airport, killing all 55 people aboard the DC-4 and seriously injuring the pilot of the P-38.

In 1952, the United States exploded the first hydrogen bomb, code-named “Ivy Mike,” at Enewetak Atoll in the Marshall Islands.

In 1968, the Motion Picture Association of America unveiled its new voluntary film rating system: G for general, M for mature (later changed to GP, then PG), R for restricted and X (later changed to NC-17) for adults only.

In 1973, following the “Saturday Night Massacre,” Acting Attorney General Robert H. Bork appointed Leon Jaworski to be the new Watergate special prosecutor, succeeding Archibald Cox. In 1979, former first lady Mamie Eisenhower died in Washington, D.C. at age 82.

In 1989, East Germany reopened its border with Czechoslovakia, prompting tens of thousands of refugees to flee to the West.

Ten years ago: Democratic presidential candidate Howard Dean stirred controversy within his party by telling the Des Moines Register he wanted to be “the candidate for guys with Confederate flags in their pickup trucks.” (The former Vermont governor explained that he intended to encourage the return of Southern voters who had abandoned the Democrats for decades but were disaffected with the Republicans.)

Severed finger leads police to theft suspect GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) — A severed finger left at the crime scene helped police in Arizona arrest a man suspected of trying to steal copper wire.

An air conditioning company employee told Glendale police someone tried to steal the wire from his truck on Oct. 7.

The spool of wire — worth more than $300 — had been pulled out about 20 feet from the truck, and what appeared to be a cut off finger was caught in the wiring.

Police retrieved the finger as evidence, and forensic technicians were able to match the fingerprint to 29-year-old Joshua Allen Goverman.

Goverman told detectives he lost part of a finger while working on a car. He was booked on suspicion of theft.

Authorities didn’t know whether Goverman had a lawyer who could be reached for comment.

FAA Oks plane passenger gadget use JOAN LOWY Associated Press

WASHINGTON (AP) — Airline passengers will be able to use their electronic devices gate-to-gate to read, work, play games, watch movies and listen to music — but not talk on their cellphones — under much-anticipated guidelines issued Thursday by the Federal Aviation Administration.

But passengers shouldn’t expect changes to happen right away, FAA Administrator Michael Huerta said at a news conference. How fast the change is implemented will vary by airline, he said.

Airlines will have to show the FAA how their airplanes meet the new guidelines and that they’ve updated their flight-crew training manuals, safety announcements and rules for stowing devices to reflect the new guidelines.

Delta and JetBlue said they would immediately submit plans to implement the new policy.

Currently, passengers are required to turn off their smartphones, tablets and other devices once a plane’s door closes. They’re not supposed to restart them until the planes reach 10,000 feet and the captain gives the goahead. Passengers are supposed to turn their devices off again as the plane descends to land and not restart them until the plane is on the ground.

Under the new guidelines, airlines whose planes are properly protected from electronic interference may allow passengers to use the devices during takeoffs, landings and taxiing, the FAA said. Most new airliners and other planes that have been modified so that passengers can use Wifi at higher altitudes are expected to meet the criteria.

But connecting to the Internet to surf, exchange emails, text or download data will still be prohibited below 10,000 feet. Passengers will be told to switch their devices to airplane mode. That means

A passenger checks her cell phone before a flight, Thursday in Boston. The Federal Aviation Administration issued new guidelines Thursday, Oct. 31, 2013, under which passengers will be able to use devices to read, work, play games, watch movies and listen to music, from the time they board to the time they leave the plane.

no Words With Friends, the online Scrabble-type game that actor Alec Baldwin was playing on his smartphone in 2011 when he was famously booted off an American Airlines jet for refusing to turn off the

Why spy on allies? Even good friends keep secrets NANCY BENAC Associated Press

In geopolitics, just as on the playground, even best friends don’t tell each other everything.

And everybody’s dying to know what the other guy knows.

Revelations that the U.S. has been monitoring the cellphone calls of up to 35 world leaders, including German Chancellor Angela Merkel, have brought into high relief the open-yet-often-unspoken secret that even close allies keep things from one another — and work every angle to find out what’s being held back.

So it is that the Israelis recruited American naval analyst Jonathan Pollard

to pass along U.S. secrets including satellite photos and data on Soviet weaponry in the 1980s.

And the British were accused of spying on U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan in the leadup to the Iraq War. And the French, Germans, Japanese, Israelis and South Koreans have been accused of engaging in economic espionage against the United States.

But now the technology revealed by former National Security Agency analyst Edward Snowden has underscored the incredible new-millennium reach of the U.S. spy agency. And it is raising the question for some allies: Is this still OK? National Intelligence

Director James Clapper, for his part, testified this week that it is a “basic tenet” of the intelligence business to find out whether the public statements of world leaders jibe with what’s being said behind closed doors.

What might the Americans have wanted to know from Merkel’s private conversations, for example? Ripe topics could well include her thinking on European economic strategy and Germany’s plans for talks with world powers about Iran’s nuclear program.

There is both motive and opportunity driving the trust-but-verify dynamic in friend-onfriend espionage: Allies often have diverging inter-

ests, and the explosion of digital and wireless communication keeps creating new avenues for spying on one another. Further, shifting alliances mean that today’s good friends may be on the outs sometime soon.

“It was not all that many years ago when we were bombing German citizens and dropping the atomic bomb on the Japanese,” says Peter Earnest, a 35-year veteran of the CIA and now executive director of the International Spy Museum in Washington.

News that the U.S. has tapped foreign leaders’ phones was an eye-opener to many — the White House claims that even President Barack Obama

wasn’t aware of the extent of the surveillance — and has prompted loud complaints from German, French and Spanish officials, among others.

It’s all possible because “an explosion in different kinds of digital information tools makes it possible for intelligence agencies to vacuum up a vast quantity of data,” says Charles Kupchan, a former Clinton administration official and now a senior fellow of the Council on Foreign Relations. “When you add together the Internet, wireless communications, cellphones, satellites, drones and human intelligence, you have many, many sources of acquiring intelligence.”

92 migrant bodies found in Niger KRISTA LARSON and RUKMINI CALLIMACHI Associated Press

DAKAR, Senegal (AP) — Nearly 100 African migrants hoping to escape crushing poverty met a grisly end in the desert, officials said Thursday, dying of thirst under the baking sun after their two trucks broke down in the middle of the Sahara before reaching Algeria.

It took weeks for authorities to learn of the tragedy and for recovery teams to reach the distant site, where they found a gruesome scene including the remains of 52 children and 33 women.

“It was horrific. We found badly decomposing bodies and others that had been eaten by jackals,” said Almoustapha Alhacen, the head of a nonprofit organization in northern Niger that helped bury the bodies and who was at the site Wednesday. “We found the bodies of small children who were huddled beside

their dead mothers.”

The victims were spread out across a 12-mile (20-kilometer) radius, suggesting they had set off on foot but failed to head in the direction of the Algerian border just 6 miles (10 kilometers) away, he added.

The tragedy is the latest to shed light on the perils of illegal migration. In early October, at least 365 migrants drowned when a boat capsized near the Italian island of Lampedusa, which is closer to North Africa than to the European mainland.

The migrants in Niger had begun their journey late last month in two trucks and were being smuggled along a wellestablished trafficking route to neighboring Algeria, said Col. Garba Makido the governor of Niger’s Agadez province, south of where the bodies were found. From Algeria, many continue on in hopes of crossing from North Africa to southern Europe.

While nearly all who take this desert route are economic

migrants, it was not immediately clear why so many women and children were among the victims.

Officials were alerted to the migrant deaths only when a lone woman managed to stumble out of the desert into the Nigerien town of Arlit earlier this month.

The next day, a father walking with his two young daughters also arrived. But his children perished of thirst just a few kilometers (miles) outside Arlit, Makido said. A total of 92 people died and 21 survived, most of whom made their way to towns at the Algerian border.

“This is a true tragedy,” the governor said. “The prosecutor has opened an investigation and we plan to do everything we can to find the truck drivers.”

First word of the disaster came Monday when officials reported that 35 people died but the death toll rose when more bodies were recovered from the desert.

The tract of land that runs across the continent just south of the vast Sahara desert has for decades been the province of smugglers and criminals, including the local chapter of al-Qaida. Tens of thousands of West African migrants attempting to reach Europe each year have tapped into this perilous route, after authorities cracked down on sea routes via the Atlantic Ocean.

They travel from countries across West Africa to the Nigerien city of Agadez where they pay smugglers as much as $3,000 for transport to Europe.

Migrants are ferried across the ocean of sand in rickety trucks, braving one of the harshest landscapes on earth for a chance at reaching Europe.

They are willing to risk death because few meet the criteria for even a tourist visa much less have the money to travel to Europe by plane. Once in Europe, they hope to work illegally and eke out a living with enough left over to send money back to their families in Africa.

No October jinx this time for the stock market STEVE ROTHWELL AP Markets Writer

NEW YORK (AP) — October often makes investors nervous, since that’s when some of the biggest crashes in stock market history happened.

But this October, the market seemed unstoppable.

The Standard & Poor’s 500 index closed at a record high seven times and ended the month up 4.5 percent. The market climbed even after October began with the 16-day government shutdown and the threat of a potentially calamitous U.S. default.

“The market didn’t

waver in the face of the shutdown,” said Anton Bayer, CEO of Up Capital Management, an investment adviser. “That was huge.”

After being rattled by a series of down-to-thewire budget battles in recent years, investors have become inured to the ways of Washington lawmakers. Instead of selling stocks, they kept their focus on what they say really matters: the Federal Reserve.

The central bank is buying $85 billion of bonds every month and keeping its benchmark short-term interest rate near zero to promote economic growth. The Fed

stimulus has helped generate a stock market rally that dates to March 2009.

With October’s gains, the S&P 500 is now up 23.1 percent for the year.

The Dow Jones industrial average is 18.6 percent higher, and the Nasdaq composite index is up 29.8 percent.

Some analysts say the precipitous rise in stocks may now make the market vulnerable to a drop.

“Because stocks have gone up so much, people will get nervous about another big sell-off at some stage,” said David Kelly, chief global strategist at JPMorgan funds.

Some investors will be relieved to see October

behind them. The Stock Trader’s Almanac refers to October as “the jinx month” because of its fraught history.

The Dow lost 40 points on Oct. 28, 1929, a day that became known as Black Monday and heralded the start of the Depression. Almost 60 years later, on Oct. 19, 1987, the Dow suffered its biggest percentage loss, plunging nearly 23 percent in the second Black Monday. The index also plummeted 13 percent on Oct. 27, 1997.

There was no such drama on Wall Street on Thursday. Stocks were mostly flat as investors took in disappointing

corporate earnings.

The S&P 500 slipped 6.77 points, or 0.4 percent, to 1,756.54. The Dow gained 73.01 points, or 0.5 percent, to 15,545. The Nasdaq composite fell 10.91 points, or 0.3 percent, to 3,919.71.

Avon slumped $4.90, or 21.9 percent, to $17.50 after the beauty products company reported a thirdquarter loss, reflecting lower sales and Chinarelated charges. The company also said the Securities and Exchange Commission is proposing a much larger penalty than it expected to settle bribery allegations.

Early snow flurries arrive We awoke to a world full of snow flurries. The flakes were big and flaky but none of it stuck to the ground. It was enough to get the children excited about winter weather, especially sledding. My husband, Joe, started our coal stove which helps keep the house cozy on these cold mornings. A few mornings, we’ve had temperatures in the upper 20s. Leaves are emptying off the trees fast. What colorful scenes painted by our Master Artist!

The sun hasn’t been out too much this week.

It seems the solar freezer is still keeping charged enough though. This colder weather has made the deer move around more. Timothy and Mose (the girls’ special friends) have both been lucky and each has shot a deer with their compound bows this month.

Benjamin, 14, and Joseph, 11, take turns going with Joe when he goes crossbow hunting for deer.

DAYTON — Seven students from the Wright State University Boonshoft School of Medicine, including Cara Schroeder of Sidney, have been selected to receive Choose Ohio First Primary Care Scholarships.

Each student will receive an annual scholarship of $30,000.

Schroeder is a second-year medical student.

Under the Choose Ohio First Primary Care Scholarship Program, 50 medical students can receive up to $120,000 in scholarship funding over their four-year medical education. The program was created with the passage of Ohio HB 198, Ohio’s patient-centered medical home legislation.

Recipients are selected from Case Western Reserve University, Northeast Ohio

Medical University, Ohio University, The Ohio State University, University of Toledo, University of Cincinnati and Wright State University.

Scholarship recipients must be Ohio residents. They must show a commitment to community service. They also must commit to a residency in family practice, primary care internal medicine, primary care pediatrics or combined internal medicine and pediatrics in Ohio. After completing their residency, they must agree to practice full time in Ohio for three to five years in primary care (family practice, internal medicine, pediatrics, medicine/ pediatrics or family medicine/ psychiatry). As primary care physicians, they must accept Medicaid patients.

“Our students are well-deserving of this scholarship. They plan to return to their home communities to fulfill a need in primary care,” said Gary LeRoy, M.D., associate dean for student affairs and admissions at the Wright State University Boonshoft School of Medicine. “They have the desire to help others and practice in underserved communities. They are passionate about strengthening Ohio communities by providing quality primary care.”

The Shelby County Veterans S ervice Commission during its Oct 9th and Oct. 23rd meetings approved salary increases of 3 to 4 percent for local Veterans Service Office personnel.

Ed Ball, executive director, and his staff filed applications that resulted in benefits to area veterans totalling $12,261,000 of federal funds. In recognition of that accomplishment, commissioners voted the following pay increases: • 3 percent to the executive director, an increase of $1,274.62 for an annual salary of $43,726.

• 3 percent to the officer, an increase of $1,110.30 for an annual salary of $38,120.26.

• 4 percent to the administrative assistant/officer, an increase of $1,214.39, for an annual salary of $31,574.33.

• 25 cents per hour increase to the driver, for an hourly rate of $12.25.

In other business, the commission approved financial relief for seven veterans in amounts total-

ling $3,323.38. Another 27 veterans were assisted between Sept. 24 and Oct. 9 and between Oct. 10 and Oct. 23 in amounts totalling $4,996.53.

The commission discussed how the government shutdown would have an impact on local veterans and the advertising of an open for a driver. It will seek input from local veterans organizations about changing Veterans Day at the fair.

It was reported that the Ohio Department of Veterans Services was impressed by a Sidney Daily News article about the Shelby County Veterans Services Office budgeting.

The following upcoming events were listed: OSADVSC fall conference Nov. 22-24; Yellow Ribbon meeting Oct. 25; Shelby County Commissioner budget meeting Oct. 29; RISFAC Oct. 29; Ohio Veterans Hall of Fame Nov. 7; ISFAC Nov. 12; ODVA/ OSADVSC/OSACVSO strategic planning initiative Nov. 21-22.

National contest seeks recipes As part of Prevent Blindness America’s “Live Right, Save Sight!” program, in conjunction with declaring November as Diabetic Eye Disease Awareness Month, the national nonprofit group is conducting an online contest,”Eat for Your Eyes,” seeking original recipes that benefit those with diabetes and include ingredients that are also healthy for the eyes.

The contest will run Nov. 1-30.

Those interested in participating may visit preventblindness.org/diabetes to enter.

All entries should include: • Recipe name • List of ingredients with measurements (must include at least two eye healthy ingredients and adhere to diabetes-friendly guidelines) • Description of how it is prepared • Explanation about why the recipe entry is healthy for diabetes patients and those with prediabetes • Full name • Address • Phone number • Email address Winners will be chosen at random from all entrants that comply with the contest rules. First

prize will be a $200 Amazon.com gift card, second prize will be a $100 Amazon.com gift card and third prize will be a $50 Amazon. com gift card. The winning recipes will also be published on the Live Right, Save Sight! program section of the Prevent Blindness America website.

“We know that diabetes and vision loss is a serious issue that continues to negatively affect millions of Americans,” said Hugh R. Parry, president and CEO of Prevent Blindness America. “It is our hope that through the ‘Eat for Your Eyes’ contest, we can encourage people to think about steps they can take today, even through diet modification, that can help save vision in the future.”

As part of the Live Right, Save Sight! program, Prevent Blindness America offers the following recommendations: • Visit an eye doctor at least once a year if you have diabetes or if you are at high risk. For some, diabetic retinopathy is one of the first signs of diabetes.

• Maintain a healthy weight. If you are overweight, even a modest weight loss can help prevent Type 2 diabetes.

• Increase your physical activity.

Exercising 30 minutes a day, five times a week can cut your risk of Type 2 diabetes by more than half.

It is important to check with your doctor before starting an exercise program.

• Watch and control your blood sugar levels.

• Maintain a healthy blood pressure. High blood pressure increases the risk of eye disease, as well as heart disease, stroke and kidney disease. It may be necessary to change diet and exercise habits or take medication to keep blood pressure under control.

• If you smoke – quit. Quitting smoking can significantly reduce the risk for diabetic retinopathy as well as provide other health benefits.

• All women who are pregnant or who are planning to become pregnant and have been diagnosed with diabetes should get a full, dilated eye exam.

For more information on the Eat for Your Eyes contest, including a complete copy of the contest rules and eligibility requirements, as well as information on diabetic eye disease, call 800-331-2020 or visit preventblindness.org/diabetes.

“Almost every one of our security upgrades was paid for through grant money that was available to schools through the Ohio Schools Facility Commission. The local cost for most of these upgrades was next to nothing. Although you can never put a price on student safety, this has certainly made the projects easy to handle from a budget standpoint,” said Dan Holland, superintendent.

“Nathan Brown, our local police chief, has been very visible within the buildings,” Holland added. “He frequently walks the hallways and talks with students many times per week. We also have sheriff deputies in our buildings at various times. Their presence also creates a sense of safety and wellbeing within our buildings.

Sheriff Lenhart has also been very proactive in working with the county districts to have his personnel ready to assist and train whenever needed.

“The goal is to minimize the risk and create the safest environment for teaching and learning. We feel as if our safety plans are solid and that we are able to enact them in any time of crisis. Parents need to know that we are doing everything possible to keep their students as safe and secure as possible. Safety isn’t a once in a while issue, it’s an everyday commitment and a goal that is paramount in our district and within our community.”

DEAR DR. ROACH: After two close calls with blood clots in the lungs, my husband has been put on Coumadin permanently. He is in a lot of pain from arthritis and needs something for pain. Is there anything he can take? — R.M.C. ANSWER: Warfarin (Coumadin and others) reduces the body’s ability to make blood clots by blocking the effect of vitamin K in the liver. So, substances that affect the liver’s ability to metabolize, such as Tylenol, or that affect the platelets, such as aspirin, tend to increase the propensity to bleed.

Fortunately, in most people, modest doses of pain medications still can be safe.

Significant effect on blood clotting in people on warfarin is rare if taking less than 2,000 mg of acetaminophen (that’s four extra-strength or six regular tablets) daily. Most arthritis medicines are still safe on warfarin, but double-check with his doctor before he takes them.

Tramadol also usually is safe.

DEAR DR. ROACH: I am a 61-year-old man. When I was 18, I had shingles. I was told at the time that now that I had them I would never have them again. I also was told that it meant I would no longer get cold sores, but I still have gotten those occasionally through the years.

I’ve recently been reading on the Web that shingles can reoccur, with up to one in three people having re-occurrences. I am now wondering if I should go ahead and get the shingles shot I keep hearing about. — J.D. ANSWER: Yes, you should get the vaccine, as per the manufacturer’s and the Center for Disease Control and Prevention’s recommendations, even if you have had shingles in the past.

Cold sores are a related herpes virus, HSV-1. Unfortunately, the vaccine for Varicella-Zoster won’t help with oral or genital herpes.

However, it seems unlikely that he will quit, and frankly, I’m sick of it.

I have asked Todd for the last four years to please stop, but he hasn’t. He keeps saying he will, but I don’t know how much longer I want to wait.

DEAR ABBY: I would like to share a Thanksgiving

tradition our family has enjoyed for years. We realized that after a big holiday dinner we weren’t ready to eat a lot of dessert, so we started having “Pie Night” the evening before Thanksgiving. After a light meal we could enjoy the various pies or cakes family members brought. It became one of our favorite traditions.

My father suggested it as a social event/fundraiser to the pastor of our local church, and it was one of their bestattended events. Our family is scattered across the country now, but those times were some of my favorites, and I thought some of your readers might like to incorporate it into their holiday celebrations, too. — GOOD TIMES IN ARIZONA DEAR GOOD TIMES: They might, indeed, especially if they are trying to spread those extra calories over a longer period. (And it would be a good idea to exercise the day after they indulge.) Thanks for the suggestion.

100 years Nov. 1, 1913 The fine barn on the J.M. Heintz farm south of Jackson Center was destroyed by fire about noon today, along with practically all its contents. Several animals were lost along with considerable farm equipment. Help was called from Jackson Center, but arrived too late to save the barn, but did save the house which was set on fire several times by sparks.

––––– The Sidney High School football team journeyed to New Bremen in autos on Saturday for their first out of town game this season. The gridiron was the roughest the writer has ever seen in 12 years of following the game.

News Bremen scored on the second play of the game, but that was the only time they even threatened, with the Sidney team winning 25 to 7.

75 years Nov. 1, 1938 Dr. S.J. Reichert, brother of August J. Reichert, bank cashier in the village of Osgood, and a son of Mrs. J.J. Reichert, there, today holds title to what may someday be a valuable piece of equipment. Dr. Reichart, who years ago worked out a process to make wool non-shrinkable in the U.S. chemical warfare service laboratories, this week, had received more than 200 offers for the Commercial use of the formula.

––––– The sun and moon will play “hide and seek” in a total eclipse of the moon which will be visible November 7 in every section of the United States except the far west, according to Dr. James Stockley, director of astronomy at Franklin Institute in Philadelphia.

50 years Nov. 1, 1963 LAKEVIEW — Roger Wise, 19, of Jackson Center, was credited with saving the lives of two rural Lakeview couples and their eight children by his alertness early Sunday morning.

Wise noticed flames through a downstairs bedroom of the two story home occupied by the 12 persons.

Assistant Lakeview Fire Chief Ed Urshel said Wise, an employee of a Lakeview supermarket, immediately drove back to Lakeview and summoned the village firemen who arrived at 2:20 a.m. Firemen entered the home and awakened all 12 occupants, including the eight children, all asleep upstairs. They extinguished the blaze in about a half hour and no injuries resulted.

––––– RU S S I A — Approximately 500 juniors and seniors from seven Shelby County Schools invaded Russia school Friday afternoon for a College Day program to hear representatives of 11 universities and colleges explain their programs.

Claire Naveau, executive head of Russia school, welcomed the upper classmen and introduced the representatives of the colleges. Paul R. Needles, superintendent of the county schools, presided over the opening session in the Russia school gym. Students were present from Anna, Botkins, Fairlawn, Fort Loramie, HardinHouston, Jackson Center and Russia.

Odds and Ends URBANA, Ill. (AP) — University of Illinois graduate Mike Hopkins earned cheers from an audience at his alma mater when he spoke via NASA video hookup from the International Space Station.

“University of Illinois, Fighting Illini, I hear you loud and clear, and I’m ready to answer some questions,” Hopkins said, standing in front of an Illini flag in the space station on Tuesday.

Hopkins had 10 minutes to answer questions from Illini aerospace engineering students at the University of Illinois National Center for Supercomputing Applications. He is a 1991 engineering graduate and was co-captain of the Illini football team.

The News-Gazette reports that Hopkins has spent six months aboard the space station.http:// bit.ly/17wF8oW

Students had to send in their questions ahead of time so Hopkins would be prepared to answer. They asked him about what he does at the space station, living in space and the future of space travel.

“The station is even more amazing than I ever thought it was going to be,” Hopkins said.

Hopkins said his favorite thing to do in space is float.

“It doesn’t get old, even just in the middle of the work day as you go floating around from one module to another.

It’s just fun,” Hopkins said.

Then he did a flip.

Sophomore Nick Fulton said he would like to be an astronaut and found Hopkins’ talk insightful.

“It was interesting to see his viewpoint and to talk to him while he was in space,” Fulton said.

HOROSCOPE

BY FRANCES DRAKE For Saturday, Nov. 2, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You ruler, Mars, is positioned beautifully to help you work. Get as much done as possible, because it won't always be this easy.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) You don't want to postpone self-gratification for duties and obligations.

Quite the opposite. You want to play and have fun! You want to do what you want to do.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Increased chaos and activity on the home front require your attention.

Perhaps this is due to visiting guests, residential moves or renovations. Roll up your sleeves and dig in.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) All your communication with others will be direct, persuasive and to the point because fiery Mars is affecting your style of talking. (This is why everyone is agreeing with you.)

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) You're ready to work hard to earn money now, in part because you're also spending it. You feel confident about being more in control of your scene. (This is good.)

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) With Mars in your sign now, you are pumped and raring to go. Get extra physical exercise to blow off some of this pent-up steam and energy. ("It's my way or the highway!")

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Some of you are involved in secret love affairs or behind-the-scenes activities. You prefer to work alone or do things privately right now.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Expect competition with others, especially in sports, group activities and professional gatherings. You intend to win. (And you probably will.)

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Your ambition is aroused now, which gives you the energy, focus and follow-through to achieve what you want to get done. When somebody knows where they're going, others get out of their way.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Make plans to travel or expand your world through higher education. You want more out of life, and you want to feel stimulated, not bored.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Disputes about inheritances, shared property and anything you own jointly with others might exist now.

You will win these encounters because you know what you want and you know where to draw the line.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Because Mars is opposite your sign, you feel impatient with others. Naturally, to you, these people are annoying. And perhaps they are.

Patience is your best ally.

YOU BORN TODAY You are influential to the people around you as well as to any situation in which you find yourself immersed. You seem to be a catalyst for change. Naturally, in your own life, change and transformation are a major theme. This year something you've been involved with for nine years will diminish or end in order to make room for something new.

Historical society to hold annivesary dinner

WAPAKONETA — The Auglaize County Historical Society will host a 50th Anniversary Dinner in conjunction with its annual meeting on Nov. 21 at First English Lutheran Church, Mechanic and Blackhoof Streets, Wapakoneta. The evening will begin at 6 p.m., with appetizers, followed by dinner at 6:30 p.m. Cost is $15 per person.

The evening will include many highlights, including the presence of Burt Logan, executive director of the Ohio Historical Society.

Auglaize County native Luke Stedke, who now serves as marketing and communications manager for Capitol Square Review

and Advisory Board, will also make a presentation. Additionally, for the first time in 50 years, the Historical Society will present awards to individuals and organizations that have demonstrated their commitment to local history.

The recipients of these awards will be announced on Nov. 1.

The evening will also mark the debut of a new traveling exhibit for the Historical Society about the county’s contribution to the Civil War. The exhibit will focus on the 37th OVI, which was organized in Auglaize County by Major Charles Hipp; his home is now the site of the Historical Society’s Mooney Museum.

“This year has seen many successful programming efforts and accomplishments on the part of the Historical Society, from completion of the national Museums Assessment Program to collaborating on the Lincoln: The Constitution and the Civil War touring exhibit,” said Historical Society administrator Rachel Barber. “We want to conclude our 50th in a big way, by hosting a memorable celebratory dinner and by honoring those who have set such a great example by their appreciation for history. We hope that all current and former members of the Historical Society will join us, as well as anyone in the

community who is interested in the preservation of our wonderful Auglaize County history.”

ST. MARYS — During American Diabetes Month in November, Grand Lake Health System will be dedicating a day to help increase awareness about diabetes.

Nearly 26 million people in the United States have diabetes, including 7 million that do not realize they have it. Another 79 million Americans have prediabetes and are at risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Recent estimates project that as many as 1 in 3 American adults will have diabetes by 2050 unless we take steps to stop diabetes.

On Nov. 11, Grand Lake Health System will be offering free screenings and lectures relating to diabetes awareness, prevention, and management. The free screenings include: blood glucose screening (can be fasting or nonfasting), height and weight, including BMI calculation, and the American Diabetes Association “Diabetes Risk

Test”, helping to identify additional risk factors for diabetes, such as age, activity, and family history. The lectures will describe the risk factors for diabetes and ways to help prevent diabetes.

Free screenings will be offered on Nov. 11 from 9 to 10 a.m., 1 to 2 p.m., and 4 to 5 p.m. Free lectures will be offered following each screening time at 10 a.m., 2 p.m. and 5 p.m.

For people with diabetes, a free diabetes class will be offered on Nov. 11 at 7 p.m. and again on Nov. 12 at 10 a.m. Titled, “Diabetes 101,” the class will describe what diabetes is and ways to properly manage diabetes, including diet, exercise and possibly, medication. Knowledge is power in the fight to prevent or manage diabetes.

All lectures will be presented by Krissy Mullenhour RN, BSN, certified diabetes educator.

recreation and transit employees fall into the 30-hour category. “We’re looking at how we can minimize that impact,” he said.

Councilman Rick Sims wondered if there were penalties for employers who cut the hours of longtime employees in order to avoid insurance coverage.

Roche said the law currently doesn’t provide for that, but that might be added in the future if problems arise.

Council adopted an ordinance rezoning 1390 Fourth Ave. from I-1, light industrial, to B-2, community business district.

The rezoning was request-

ed by Dave Temple for land on the east side of Fourth, between Russell Road and Countryside Street. The most recent uses of the property have been as a limousine livery and Sidney Door and Window. Temple has inquired about using the site for motor vehicle sales.

Council passed a resolution authorizing the city manager to enter into contracts with townships to provide fire protection and emergency medical services for 2014. The new contract amounts are 3 percent higher than the current agreements. The townships and contract amounts are Clinton — EMS, $23,892,

and fire, $32,778; Orange — EMS, $6,531, and fire, $9,062; Franklin — fire, $8,626; and Washington — EMS, $1.

Fire Chief Bradley Jones explained that the Washington Township contract is to cover one mile of Interstate 75. He said Sidney has had an average of three calls per year to that stretch of roadway over the past five years. He said Sidney has faster access to that portion of I-75 than Houston Rescue. He said the $1 is a legal consideration that is needed for the contract.

Council passed a resolution authorizing the city manager to enter into a share-services agreement in connection with

the implementation of an integrated court case management system.

Sidney Municipal Court, Shelby County Common Pleas Court (General and Probate divisions), and the Shelby County Clerk of Courts have been working to purchase a new system. Bonnie Gold, Municipal Court administrator, told council that the new system would go online in about one year to 18 months.

Council passed a resolution repealing a previous resolution and authorizing a revised license to Raise the Roof the the Arts. The license permits RTR to install airhandling equipment at the

Historic Sidney Theatre, 120 W. Poplar St. The equipment will extend over a city-owned parking lot, so the city’s OK was required. A revision was needed because the size of the extension has changed.

Vice Mayor Mardie Milligan abstained from voting because she is a volunteer with RTR. She was presiding over the meeting in the absence of Mayor Michael Barhorst.

Council introduced an ordinance that would amend the utility ordinance in connection with wastewater treatment plant improvements mandated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

that Evans’ remains on paid administrative leave pending outcome of the tests. Acting Chief Lynn Marsee will continue in her role for the time being.

Anderson declined to elaborate on what prompted the need for the fitness for duty examination, although reportedly Evans has not made any threats against anyone.

Anderson said the decision “was pretty much mine,” although some other council members “thought it was a good idea.”

Anderson said Evans would be seeing a psychiatrist in the Germantown area Monday who has experience working with police officers.

Loramie to face Marion in D-IV finals TIPP CITY — The final score, in shortened form, will read 3-0, Marion Local over Jackson Center in Division IV Regional volleyball action at Tipp City Thursday.

And that falls short of indicating how well the Lady Tigers played, and how they pushed the state’s top-ranked team to the limit before falling 25-21, 25-22, 25-16.

The loss ends Jackson Center’s season at 20-7 and advances Marion Local to the regional championship Saturday at 2 p.m. against Fort Loramie. The Lady Flyers take a 24-1 record into that match.

“The girls played very tough,” said Jackson Center coach Kim Metz.

“We just had a few too many hiccups. In game three, I think we had four service errors and you can’t do that against a team like Marion.”

But the Lady Tigers battled the state’s defending champions right from the start, sprinting to a 3-0 lead. But the leads the Lady Tigers held at that point, would be among the few they would have all night.

Marion Local was able to get the lead in each game and threatened to stretch it out, but the Lady Tigers would always have an answer.

In the first game, Marion was up 10-8, but Jackson

got the next three. Marion responded with four in a row to go up 14-11 and Jackson wasn’t able to regain the lead.

In the second game, Marion opened up its biggest lead of the first two sets at 24-18, but with the Lady Flyers just one point away from a win, Jackson came back and cut the lead to 24-22. However, Marion’s Gina Kremer spiked one down the middle to end it.

“They have a good, young team,” said Marion Local coach Amy Steininger.

“They really gave us a battle tonight. It seemed like we would get a four or five-point lead in every one of the sets, and they would come back. I told the girls, don’t let them get the lead.”

“Kremer is a phenomenal player, and we were focusing on her,” said Metz. “We were spreading the defense out. But we didn’t make the adjustments we needed to make, and had a few more hiccups than we could afford.”

The Lady Tigers are a young group, with a lot of freshmen and sophomores, and they were going up against a Marion Local team that has seven seniors, all of whom play a lot.

“They’re great athletes and the passion is there with this group,” said Metz. “It’s been real fun to coach them this year.”

Cassie Meyer had five

kills, five blocks and nine digs for Jackson, Haley Echert led in kills with six, Jayel Frye and Kamryn Elchert both had 12 assists, and Courtney Zimpfer finished with 15 digs.

Loramie gets past Lehman In the second semifinal Thursday night at Tipp City, Fort Loramie punched its ticket to the regional championship by getting past the Lehman Lady Cavs in four games.

Lehman won the first game 25-20, Fort Loramie dominated in the next two games, winning 25-16 and 25-11, and then held off a late Lehman charge to win the fourth game 25-22.

So for the second year in a row, Fort Loramie and Marion Local will play for the regional championship, this time on Saturday at 2 p.m. The winner advances to the state tournament next week.

Lehman sees its season end at 18-9.

In the fourth game, Lehman came out strong and got up 5-1 before the Lady Redskins again took over and led 8-7. From there, they stretched the lead out to 22-14, but back came the Lady Cavaliers with seven Mike Ullery|Civitas Media in a row to cut the lead to Fort Loramie’s Renae Meyer and Lehman Ellie Cain battle at the net in Division IV Regional volleyball one. Loramie pushed the lead back out to 24-22, and action Thursday night at Tipp City.

Colleen Poeppelman ended it with a crosscourt shot.

To wrench her out of the only home she has ever known, and away from the parents she loves, would be deeply traumatizing for her. Is getting her back worth that?

By all means, discuss your feelings with your social worker. You’re also free to contact an attorney, but I doubt that any court would reverse an adoption unless there was evidence of child abuse, which is unlikely.

Be thankful that your daughter is in a loving home. Contact with her may be possible later, if the adoptive parents agree, but I wouldn’t hope for more than that.

Area villages all have council seats up for election Tuesday, but some of the villages don’t have quite enough people interested in taking the reins of local government.

There will be competition in some races as well. Anna, Fort Loramie, Port Jefferson, New Bremen and Versailles have at least one more candidate in each council race than there are seats available.
