semi rig was coming southbound through the curve. Wilkins said when his passenger-side tires hit the berm, this caused the vehicle to go off the right side of the road and into the field. A county highway sign and a fence, owned by Robinson Joslin, 2388 Millcreek Road, were damaged. Wilkins was not injured, and no citations were issued. • Both drivers and a passenger sustained possible injuries in a twovehicle crash Sunday at 2:26 p.m. Phyllis G. Johnson, 86, of Miamisburg, was eastbound on Miami-Shelby Road. Keith M. Wuebker, 25, 134 E. Main St., Russia, was northbound on Miller Road. Johnson stopped at a stop sign at the intersection and then proceeded into the intersection. She did not see the Wuebker auto. Wuebker was unable to

stop and the autos collided. Houston Rescue took both drivers, along with a passenger from the Wuebker auto, Megan Wuebker, 24, 134 E. Main St., Russia, to Wilson Memorial Hospital. No citations were issued. • A vehicle ended up in a ditch in an accident Sunday at 6:43 p.m. in the 13000 block of Fort Loramie-Swanders Road. The driver, Bridget R. Geiger, 18, 48 W. Sixth St., Minster, told a deputy her auto slid off the north side of the road when she reached across the seat to retrieve an item. The vehicle was not damaged, but was stuck at an angle in the deep ditch, so it required a wrecker to remove it. Anna firefighters checked the auto and found no leaks, so they returned it to Geiger. Geiger apparently was not injured and no citations were issued.

Crash closes I-75 north of Sidney Greg Sowinski Civitas Media

SIDNEY — A rollover crash with a tanker carrying liquid nitrogen closed Interstate 75 for eight hours Monday causing traffic to be detoured. Three people suffered injuries that were not life threatening in the crash that happened at 2:40 a.m. Anthony Crossley, 47, of Kettering, Freddie Jones, 46, of Tampa, Fla., and his

passenger, Curtis Donnell, 68, of Tampa, Fla., all were taken to Wilson Memorial Hospital in Sidney, said Sgt. Joseph Gebhart of the Piqua post of the Ohio State Highway Patrol. The crash happened five miles north of Sidney in the northbound lane as a box truck, driven by Jones, merged back onto the highway from the berm. The box truck was struck in the rear by the tanker driven by Crossley, Gebhart said.

The tanker overturned and rolled on its side then caught fire. Liquid nitrogen is not flammable but is dangerous if inhaled or if it comes in contact with a person because it’s extremely cold, Gebhart said. The tanker only had a small leak but emergency officials had to bring in equipment to set the tanker upright and to release pressure to prevent the tank from exploding, Gebhart said.

The interstate was closed for safety reasons in both lanes while emergency crews handled the mess, Gebhart said. The tanker was taken offsite, after it was rendered safe, to transfer the liquid nitrogen to other tanks, Gebhart said. Crossley was issued a citation for failing to maintain an assured clear distance, Gebhart said. Only a small amount of liquid nitrogen spilled, he said.

The Lockington tax levy passed with 14 votes in favor and 10 votes against, or 58.33 percent for and 41.67

The Sidney-Shelby County Health Department levy is a replacement to supplement the general fund for health services at a rate not exceeding three-tenths of one mill for each $1 of valuation, which amounts to 3 cents for each $100 of valuation, for 10 years, commencing in year 2014, first due in calendar year 2015.

Nation/World Today in History The Associated Press

Today is Wednesday, Nov. 6, the 310th day of 2013. There are 55 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Nov. 6, 1888, Republican Benjamin Harrison won the presidential election, defeating Democratic incumbent Grover Cleveland with an electoral vote count of 233168, even though Cleveland led in the popular vote.

Out of the Blue

Man skydives on 100th birthday PERRIS, Calif. (AP) — When Vernon Maynard’s friends asked him what he wished he had done in his 100 years of life, the Southern California man said he had always wanted to jump from a plane with a parachute. The retired car dealer got the chance to mark his centenarian birthday Monday by doing just that. Jean Walcher of the U.S. Parachute Association says Maynard and his two great nephews made their first skydive along with trained instructors from 13,000 feet southeast of Los Angeles. Skydive Perris manager Dan Brodsky-Chenfeld says Maynard obtained a doctor’s note before making the jump. Maynard’s daughter Linda Hironimus says her father’s friends made arrangements for him to skydive after he said he always wanted to try it. Maynard, who hails from Nebraska, lives in Palm Desert.

Election Night for NJ, VA governor races THOMAS BEAUMONT Associated Press

Republican New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie looked for a big re-election victory Tuesday night amid talk of a 2016 presidential run, and Democrats battled for a sweep of top offices in Virginia that would put Terry McAuliffe in the governor’s mansion. New Yorkers chose a new mayor for the first time in a dozen years. In other, widely scattered oddyear balloting, Colorado was setting a tax rate for marijuana, Houston was deciding the fate of the Astrodome and Alabama Republicans were choosing between two of their own — from different wings of the party — in a special congressional runoff election in a conservative state. Across the country, voters also were choosing sides in a host of

local elections and ballot initiatives. Turnout was expected to be relatively light — even in the most hard-fought races — given that it was not a presidential or congressional election year, and voters were primarily hard-core partisans. Not on the ballot, President Barack Obama took a pass on wagering any guess on outcomes, saying: “Never predict elections. That’s a losing proposition.” Taken together, the results in individual states and cities were expected to yield no broad judgments on how the American public feels about today’s two biggest national political debates — government spending and health care — which are more likely to shape next fall’s midterm elections. Even so, Tuesday’s voting had local impact, and it mattered in

ways big and small. In Virginia, Democrats pushed to control all major statewide offices for the first time since 1970, a rejection of the conservatism that has dominated for the past four years. But Republicans were expected to hold the Legislature. The state’s two U.S. senators already are Democrats, and McAuliffe was favored to win the governorship, a one-term limited office, four years after voters elected conservative Republican Bob McDonnell. Both Bill and Hillary Rodham Clinton made appearances for McAuliffe in the final weeks, and so did Obama over the weekend. Republican state Attorney General Ken Cuccinnelli was hoping for a late-game rally that would prove that a tea partybacked conservative could win the

governorship of a swing-voting state. He brought big-name supporters to the state, too, including Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida, Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky and Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal — all potential presidential contenders. After being competitive for months, the race turned McAuliffe’s way last month partly because of the partial government shutdown; the Democrat effectively used it to link Cuccinnelli to House Republicans in Washington and the tea party. Preliminary results of an exit poll conducted for The Associated Press and the television networks found that about a third of Virginia voters said they were personally impacted by the shutdown, and nearly half said Republicans deserved the blame for it.

Art held unknown Chagall, Matisse DAVID McHUGH Associated Press

A U G S B U R G , Germany (AP) — It started with a routine check by German tax inspectors — and resulted in the discovery of an art hoard so vast and spectacular that no one yet knows how the story truly ends. On a high-speed train from Zurich to Munich on Sept. 22, 2010, Germany’s briskly polite officialdom was on the lookout for customs and tax cheats. Thousands of German citizens had bank accounts in Switzerland, many of them undeclared, and the route from Zurich was a prime target for those carrying substantial sums of cash. One elderly man on the train raised their suspicions and prosecutors launched a preliminary tax probe against him. Two years later, in

February 2012, the trail led to the man’s apartment in a wealthy district of Munich. Once inside, inspectors found a far more glittering prize than smuggled cash or evaded taxes: a huge collection of hidden artwork that sheds new light on some of the 20th-century’s master painters and reawakens painful memories of Germany’s Nazi past. The paintings, drawings, engravings, woodcuts and prints numbered more than 1,400 in all and were created by an all-star roster of modern art: Marc Chagall, Henri Matisse, Pablo Picasso, PierreAuguste Renoir, Oskar Kokoschka, and leading German artists Otto Dix, Max Liebermann, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner. At least one older work was in the trove: a 16thcentury engraving of the Crucifixion by Albrecht Duerer. Some pieces — ones

by Matisse, Chagall, Dix — were previously unknown, not listed in the detailed inventories compiled by art scholars. Investigators’ excitement at the find was tempered by a disturbing question. At least some of the works had apparently been seized by the Nazis — so who were they taken from and who now are their rightful owners? At a news conference Tuesday in Augsburg, Germany, prosecutors wouldn’t identify the elderly suspect, citing tax secrecy laws and the ongoing investigation. They did say he hasn’t asked for the artwork back and that they were not currently in contact with him. Prosecutors are probing whether he improperly acquired the works, but no charges have been filed and prosecutors say there may not be any.

Companies profit as economy lags CHRISTOPHER S. RUGABER and KEN SWEET AP Business Writers

WASHINGTON (AP) — Look at the U.S. economy and you’ll notice an unusual disconnect. The economy is being slowed by a tight job market, scant pay raises and weak business investment. Yet corporate profits are reaching record highs and fueling record stock prices. What gives? How are companies managing to earn so much money in a sluggish economy? And why aren’t their profits goosing the economy? For starters, weak job growth has held down pay. And since the recession struck six years ago, businesses have been relentless in cutting costs. They’ve also stockpiled cash rather than build new products or lines of business. And they’ve been earning larger chunks of their profits overseas. All of which is a recipe for solid profits and tepid economic growth. The economy grew at a meager annual rate of just 1.8 percent in the first half of 2013. The unemployment rate is 7.2 percent, far above the 5 percent to 6 percent considered healthy. Even so, corporate profits equaled 12.5 percent of the economy in the April-June quarter, just below a 60-year high reached two years ago. Profits of companies in the Standard & Poor’s 500 have nearly doubled since June 2009. Earnings appear to have risen again in the JulySeptember quarter. Big companies like Kellogg, FedEx and Best Buy have been slashing costs in the face of slowing revenue. Their strategy has been working: Despite sluggish revenue, their profits are up. Burger King ’s sales dropped last quarter as competition intensified. Yet the company’s earnings surged because it cut expenses and enjoyed growth overseas.

An artwork of Antonio Canaletto is shown on a computer screen during a news conference in Augsburg, southern Germany, Tuesday on the art found in Munich. A hoard of more than 1,400 art works found last year at a Munich apartment includes previously unknown pieces by artists including Marc Chagall, German investigators said Tuesday, adding that they face a hugely complicated task to establish where the art came from.

Although prosecutors didn’t name the suspect, heirs of the late Jewish collector Alfred Flechtheim issued a statement saying the case raised “justifiable

“Corporations have more market power than workers have and have kept wage growth to subdued levels,” said Dean Maki, an economist at Barclays. “That’s left more for corporate profits.” Those solid earnings have helped boost stock prices. So has the Federal Reserve’s drive to keep long-term interest rates near record lows: Lower bond yields have led many investors to shift money out of bonds and into stocks, thereby boosting stock prices. The Dow Jones industrial average has jumped nearly 20 percent this year, closing at 15,639 on Monday, just below its record high. “If we ended the year at these levels, it would be a phenomenal year,” said Bob Doll, chief equity strategist with Nuveen Asset Management. Here are factors economists cite for the gap between healthy corporate profits and subpar economic growth: — FLAT PAY Wages and salaries equaled just 42.6 percent of the economy in the AprilJune quarter, near a record low set in 2011. More than 8.5 million jobs were lost in the recession and its aftermath, leaving workforces leaner and more productive. Corporate revenue rose as the economy recovered. But workers haven’t benefited much. With unemployment still high, they’ve had little leverage to demand higher pay. Many have been happy just to have a job. “We’ve just had a very lopsided economic recovery,” said Ethan Harris, an economist at Bank of America Merrill Lynch. Smaller paychecks have deprived Americans of money to spend. In the 30 years before the recession, consumer spending grew an average of 3.4 percent a year. Since 2010, just after the recovery began, it’s risen just 2.2 percent a year.

suspicions” that some works the Nazis had taken from him might have been bought by Hildebrand Gurlitt, an art dealer who acted for the Nazis.

AP Special Correspondent

WASHINGTON (AP) — Under growing pressure, the administration refused repeatedly to state a position Tuesday on legislation formalizing President Barack Obama’s oftstated promise that people who like their existing coverage should be allowed to keep it under the new health care law. Senate Democrats spoke dismissively of the proposals, signaling they have no intention of permitting a vote on the issue that marks the latest challenge confronting supporters of “Obamacare.” An earlier controversy appeared to be ebbing on a law that has generated more than its share of them. Even so, one strong supporter of the health care law, Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R. I., goodnaturedly told an administration official, “Good luck getting through this mess.” Whitehouse spoke to Marilyn Tavenner, the head of the agency deeply involved in implementing the law. She had assured lawmakers that initial flaws with the government’s website were systematically yielding to around-the-clock repair effort. “Users can now successfully create an account and continue through the full application and enrollment process,” said Tavenner, head of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. “We are now able to process nearly 17,000 registrants per hour, or 5 per second, with almost no errors.” She encouraged consumers to log onto the site and check it out, and said the administration had estimated that enrollments will total 800,000 by the end of November. At the same time, she repeatedly refused to tell inquiring Republicans how many enrollments have taken place to date, saying that information would be made available at midmonth. Across the Capitol, that reluctance drew a subpoena from Rep. Dave Camp, the Michigan Republican who chairs the House Ways and Means Committee. He said the mate-

rial was “critical government information” that the administration has refused to provide voluntarily, and demanded that it be turned over by Friday. Tavenner also sought to reassure lawmakers who expressed concerns about cybersecurity at www.healthcare.gov . Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., cited the case of a Columbia, S.C. attorney, who used the website to look for coverage, only to learn later that some of his personal information had been made available to a different browser, a man in North Carolina. “Has this happened before?” Scott asked. “Can you guarantee that Social Security numbers…are secure? Will you shut down the website, as my friends from the left have already suggested, until security issues are fixed?” Tavenner offered reassurances, and said officials from her agency were attempting to get in touch with the man whose information had been disclosed. Scott said what the “consumer sees is not what’s going wrong, it’s that their confidence is going down.” The controversy over the ability of consumers to keep their existing plans flared last week, when insurance companies mailed out millions of cancellation notices, often citing the new health care law as the reason. House Republicans intend to vote as early as next week on legislation that permits insurers to reinstate the canceled plans, which fall short of the coverage requirement under the health care law. One Democrat, Sen. Mary Landrieu of Louisiana, has proposed requiring insurers to do so. But the Republican leader, Sen. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, said Democrats had voted unanimously against similar proposals in the past and were having “foxhole conversions.” “I think what will be really interesting to see in the Senate is the number of Democrats in very red states who are up in ‘14 and what they start demanding … in terms of adjustments to this law,” he said.

County to use new agency for inspections Kathy Leese After hearing input from contractors and the public, the Shelby County Commissioners have decided to do something about complaints involving the National Inspection Corp. The move took place following a recent meeting on the Shelby County building code. The meeting was held to discuss concerns regarding the National Inspection Corporation (NIC), which is located on Regency Ridge Drive in Dayton and has supplied services to the county related to building inspections since 2000. There were 18 contractors and others in attendance at the recent meeting. County Commissioners Tony Bornhorst and Robert Guillozet have been looking into complaints involving NIC, which included the length of time it took NIC to handle business. NIC was responsible for inspections and other aspects of building code-related issues for commercial and residential properties. Bornhorst said NIC was to have been available at the Sidney-Shelby County Health Department to assist con-

tractors and individuals who needed help with inspections and other issues. But Bornhorst said, “the Shelby County Health Department had to answer so many questions because NIC did not keep regular office hours. … They (NIC) were doing everything by phone. … That doesn’t help when someone is across the counter and wants a face-toface answer.” “When NIC doesn’t have someone there to talk to, it can be very frustrating,” Bornhorst said. “It was frustrating for the folks at the health department,” too, he said, as they tried to answer questions for NIC. NIC representative Andrew McKenzie was at the meeting to defend his company, telling those present that NIC turned the work around in a one-and-ahalf-day time frame. However, contractors at the meeting took issue with that comment, with some noting it was taking up to three weeks. Bornhorst said that although NIC has been serving Shelby County since 2000, the commissioners have seldom seen McKenzie until they began questioning NIC’s work. Bornhorst said it became

obvious “it was time for a change. I feel comfortable we’re doing the right things.” Thus, last Thursday the board passed a resolution to send a 60-day termination notice to NIC, effective Jan. 1. The commissioners plan to pass another resolution soon that will allow Miami County Development to take over and handle building inspectionrelated matters. Miami County Development is part of Miami County’s government offices. The commissioners will be finalizing agreements with Anna and Jackson Center, who will be joining in having Miami County Development handle their commercial and residential building code matters. They previously worked with NIC. Bornhorst said the village of Russia and the city of Sidney will be signing agreements to use Miami County Development for their commercial building inspections and are participating for the first time. All other unincorporated areas of the county, including residential and commercial properties, will be referred to Miami County Development for building inspections. Bornhorst said the com-

missioners have spoken with Fort Loramie, Botkins, Port Jefferson and Lockington about signing up with Miami County Development, but they have not yet done so. Bornhorst said that maybe those villages are having a “wait-and-see attitude.” The commissioners are hopeful they will sign agreements, however. It was noted the Health Department will be open more hours to accommodate contractors and individuals. The extended hours will not be for people seeking health-related care or for business other than building code matters. Bornhorst said that there will be “temporary cubicles” set up at the Sidney-Shelby County Health Department and it is hoped there will be a full-time clerical employee and full-time inspector. Both are Miami County employees. The additional Health Department hours and employees “does not cost the county anything.” The hours will be announced in the next three to four weeks. Bornhorst said the time frame “all hinges on the state.” “I think once this is implemented, the contractors, especially on the commercial end,

will be able to stay here locally” for services. “The do-it-yourselfers are going to have a lot more hands-on process, which is going to be much better,” Bornhorst said. With NIC, the Health Department got 5 percent of fees collected and NIC got fees collected by the county and sent to NIC. By comparison, Miami County will collect the fees directly. The Health Department will provide heat, office space and electric, and they will be paid the contractor’s registration fees. That fee will stay the same and will be handled in the same way. Bornhorst said Miami County will get the permit and inspection fees and those will not be shared with the Health Department. The Health Department will no longer provide clerical services for building inspections. The commissioners are working to set up a local phone number for the Miami County building code services. The commissioners will update the public on plans for the extended hours and other details as soon as they are available.

Commissioners discuss court budget The Shelby County Commissioners recently discussed next year’s budget plans with some local officials and heard a report from Shelby County Job and Family Services. The commissioners discussed budget proposals with Shelby County Juvenile and Probate Judge William Zimmerman and Dawn Bailey, court administrator. The commissioners also discussed budget proposals with Shelby

County Public Defender Jonathan Richard and with Shelby County Clerk of Courts Michele Mumford. Details of those proposals will appear in another edition of the Sidney Daily News. The commissioners met with Shelby County Job and Family Services (JFS) Director Tom Bey, Assistant Director Steve Pulfer and with Shannon Smith, who submitted JFS quarterly reports. The group discussed SNAP food stamp

reductions and Medicaid expansion and fraud investigations. The commissioners took other action during their meeting including terminating an agreement with National Inspection Corp. of Dayton for Shelby County building code inspections and related issues effective on Dec. 31. The commissioners approved their intent to contract with Miami County for building code inspection and related

issues effective on Jan. 1. The commissioners also: • Accepted a quote from Hemm’s Glass Shops to replace a door slab at the Shelby County Animal Shelter for $815.30. • Approved the payment of bills in the amount of $273,664.89. • Appropriated $42,410.83 for the Shelby County Common Pleas Court special projects fund for a computer system.

FCCLA seeks donations to aid troops FORT LORAMIE — Fort Loramie Family, Career and Community Leaders of America members will be collecting items to send to men and women overseas who are in the military. The FCCLA is joining with Operation Shoebox to send troops the necessary items. Operation Shoebox was founded in 2003, and is an effort to send support, snacks and much-needed personal-care items to troops deployed outside of the United State. The FCCLA will begin the collection on Monday. Veterans Day, and continue through Nov. 15. Anyone wishing to help in the donation can drop it off at either the Veterans Day assembly held Monday at Fort Loramie High School or

in the high school office throughout the week. Any items or monetary donations would be greatly appreciated, organizers said.

• Learned American Education Week is Nov. 18-22. • Heard the first reading of new/revised/replacement policies for the district’s policy manual. Scheu said the biggest change will deal with the amount of time students will be required to be in school each day. Currently the school year is 182 days in length. Beginning with the 2014-15 school year, the requirement will be 910 hours for kindergarten through sixth grade and 1001 hours for seventh through 12th grade. This translates into a five hour day for elementary school students (excluding lunch) and

5 1/2 hour day for middle/ high school students (excluding lunch). In the Sidney District, elementary school students attend class for six hours a day, while middle/high school students are in class for 6 1/2 hours. There will be no “calamity days,” said Scheu. Instead “hours” will be established and will be used for inclement weather and early dismissals for staff development. • Hired Shamara Foy as the board of education office receptionist/secretary effective Dec. 16.

about $100 for water, sewer, stormwater and refuse, an increase of about 15 percent. Making presentations about their individual budgets were Bonnie Gold, Sidney Municipal Court administrator; Community Services Director Barbara Dulworth; Parks and Recreation Director Duane Gaier; and Public Works Director Gary

Clough. The officials spoke about goals and programs for the coming year. Gold’s mention about use of a mental health grant led to questions from council about the challenges the court faces because of defendants with mental health problems. “A growing number of people who come through the court system have men-

tal health issues,” said Gold, who estimated 25 to 30 percent of defendants fall into that category. Gold also said heroin addiction is another growing problem that affects the court. She said the court is looking at what programs work in other cities. Among projects Dulworth listed in her presentation

was removal of an underground storage tank on city property just south of the city hall. “We don’t think there are any major leaks,” she said, in response to a question from council. Gaier discussed numerous goals, including efforts to increase attendance at the municipal pool and expansion of the summer

food program to a seventh site. Clough’s presentation included the new inflow and infiltration department created this year in response to Ohio EPA requirements. The city is working to decrease the amount of stormwater that enters sanitary sewers.

15. Could you please tell me where they can find help? — B.L.G. ANSWER: “PANDAS” stands for pediatric autoimmune neuropsychiatric disorder associated with group A streptococci. This is a controversial subject, but the best study suggests that it is a rare but real diagnosis. It is generally agreed by experts that the neuropsychiatric disorders known as obsessive-compulsive disorder and tics (including Tourette’s, which involves chronic motor or vocal tics) can be exacerbated by group A streptococci, such as the familiar “strep throat.” In PANDAS, the exacerbations are severe very quickly after strep infection. Experts recommend that children with abrupt onset of OCD or tics should be evaluated for group A strep infection. In a study of children with new-onset OCD or tics, treatment with antibiotics resolved symptoms in a short period of time. Neurologists and psychiatrists are the most likely specialists to help with neuropsychiatric disorders. A support group is at www.

pandasnetwork.org. DEAR DR. ROACH: I get a severe reaction to bee stings. The last time, my arm became swollen to the size of my leg. Is the next bee sting likely to be fatal? Do I need an EpiPen? — N.N. ANSWER: Bee stings (or any of the family Hymenoptera, including wasps, yellow jackets and hornets) cause local reactions in the majority of people. About 10 percent of people have dramatic local reactions. Fortunately, the risk of anaphylaxis — the severe systemic reaction that is responsible for 100 deaths per year in the U.S. — is very low in people with local reactions. However, it is still worthwhile to discuss with your doctor or an allergist, because the symptoms of anaphylaxis are sometimes missed. Anyone with a history of systemic reaction should carry (and know how to use!) an epinephrine injection. Removing the stinger as soon as possible, preferably within seconds, is a good idea to prevent the full injection of venom.

will stop giving gifts because they were left hanging, wondering if their gift was ever received. The problem may be that many parents no longer insist their children practice this courtesy, so the kids never learn how to do it. Chief among the reasons that thank-you notes aren’t sent is that many people don’t know what to say. They think the note has to be a long, flowery composition when, in fact, short and to the point is more effective. Keeping a notepad handy when opening gifts and immediately taking a moment to jot down the first thought that comes to mind is helpful. (Example: Do you like the color? The style? Is it something you had been looking for and couldn’t find? Is it a special homemade treat? Mmmm.) WRITE IT DOWN. While letter-writing or even emailing may seem like

a chore, there are times when a handwritten note is the most appropriate means of communicating one’s thoughts. My booklet contains sample letters for almost any occasion.

For anyone who has ever wondered where to begin when writing a note of thanks, offering warm congratulations, condolences, composing a love letter or the opposite — announcing a broken engagement or a decision to divorce — “How to Write Letters” is a handy guide for people who put off writing because they don’t know what to say.

100 years Nov. 6, 1913 The official tabulation of the votes in Tuesday’s election did not change any of the results although some minor discrepancies in the individual votes were turned up.

Board of elections officials and employees had completed the unofficial county of ballots from all 58 precincts before 11 p.m. An hour later, an abstract of all totals had been made ready. It was noted by many that the actual total vote of 7,471 was only 29 short of the predicted 7,500. In that respect, it became one of the best guesses in local political history. All election board members were present at their posts, these being Carl Lehman, chairman, Robert Oldham, A. Foster Moon and Clyde Millhoff. Also on the job were Jeanice Bernard, clerk, Fred Kaser, deputy clerk and Shirley Gibbs, assistant.

Odds and Ends NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — Some people are into fast cars or sleek aircraft. McKinley Page has nurtured an obsession with a more mundane vehicle: the street sweeper. Page, who goes by Kenny, is arguably the world’s most enthusiastic devotee of the machines, and he has been obsessed with them since his first glimpse of one as a child nearly 50 years ago in Newark. He says the noise and movement of the brushes captivated him. “I sat there, for maybe a good 25 minutes, just staring at it, watching it, and from there, then, the fascination was there,”

Page recalled of seeing his first street sweeper when he was 4 or 5. At an age when most young men were saving up for their first car, Page worked multiple jobs as a teenager to buy his own dream ride: a used Elgin Street King sweeper, which he still owns. He used it to clean the streets of his Newark neighborhood when city workers failed to make the rounds. “I would take my machine and sweep around the whole area, for free,” Page said. “I would work two jobs just to, you know, clean it up, and people would clap sometimes, I mean, they liked what I did.”

Browns’ rookie knows bullying BEREA, Ohio (AP) — Ridiculed as an awkward high school kid, Garrett Gilkey knows the pain of being bullied too well. The tears. The self-doubt. The longing to belong. But Cleveland’s rookie offensive lineman, who has become an antibullying advocate, can’t fathom the emotional suffering endured by Miami’s Jonathan Martin as he was victimized by teammate Richie Incognito. “I can’t imagine what he has gone through the past year and a half,” Gilkey said Tuesday as the troubling situation with the Dolphins became a bye-week topic for the Browns. “I don’t care if you’re a 24-year-old NFL lineman, bullying is the same as if you were a 9-year-old girl. I can’t help but feel for Martin, knowing that it was a very real battle and I’ve felt that battle growing up. “I know that struggle and I can’t imagine that in such a high-stress job and having to go through that.” It hasn’t been easy, but Gilkey, a seventh-round draft pick from Chadron State, has been able to move on from the traumatic taunts and pranks of his youth. Gilkey spoke openly about being booed during a school assembly for being on the scholastic team, having someone urinate in his baseball glove

and once being pinned down and having a “soiled bodily device thrown in my mouth.” Gilkey has empathy for Martin, who allegedly received racist and threatening text messages from Incognito. Martin left the Dolphins last week because of “emotional issues” that are now better understood with revelations about Incognito. “It’s one thing when you’re a little kid and you go to your parents back at home,” said Gilkey, who was forced to transfer in high school to escape harassment. “In the NFL, your familiarities are small and the likelihood of having family and friends near you and by you is very small, so being on your own essentially and having to constantly being scared or however you’re going to be hazed or ridiculed or made fun of, it doesn’t matter how old you are or how big you are, no one should have to go through that.” Three weeks ago, Gilkey spoke to a group of middle school students in Peninsula, Ohio, never thinking his message of tolerance and togetherness would become something he and his teammates would be addressing in the context of the Miami mess. In explaining how bullying can break someone, Gilkey equated a person to

being like a sponge with only the capacity to handle so much. “One of the key messages that I gave was essentially the school is like a team and you have to lean on each other if it’s going to function the way it’s supposed to,” he said. “I can’t help but have empathy for Martin, knowing that a team is supposed to be a unit. It’s supposed to function together as one and those feelings of separation can be very damaging, and evidently it’s just a matter of time when the sponge has to release.” Gilkey characterized Cleveland’s locker room as being “healthy” and other than having to sing a country and western song in front of the team, he has not been subjected to any “hazing” during his first year as a pro. “There’s a difference between being heckled by veteran teammates or joked around with by older teammates when there is as relationship there,” Gilkey said. “When you have a relationship with guys and you are able to talk to guys and have a close relationship, that’s different. It’s like having an older brother. You love your younger brother, and you’re going to pick on your little brother, and so I think that is the difference. When there is no relationship in the context, it creates bullying.”

Steelers ‘open’ to change, options limited

SCOREBOARD High school SATURDAY Football Division II playoffs Bainbridge Paint Valley vs. Lehman at Sidney Memorial Stadiu, 7 p.m. Fort Loramie at Marion Local, 7 p.m.

“We’ve got 53 capable guys, plus eight on the practice squad, at our disposal and I consider all guys as viable options,” he said. “I think that would be selling them short if I didn’t take that approach.” While promising he would “re-evaluate” everything following the debacle against the Patriots, there appear to be no major moves in the offing heading into Sunday’s game versus Buffalo (3-6). Safeties Troy Polamalu and Ryan Clark, who took most of the responsibility after Tom Brady shredded Pittsburgh for 432 yards and four touchdowns, will start. “I’ve got a great deal of confidence in them and their abilities to play and play winning football for us,” Tomlin said. The same goes for cornerback Ike Taylor if he’s cleared to return from a concussion. Ditto nose tackle Steve McLendon and defensive end Brett Keisel, who anchor a defense that ranks 31st in yards rushing allowed. Tomlin declined to place blame in one particular place. “There have been, popcorn if you will, a variety of things that create the end result,” he said. “Obviously, it doesn’t require a lot of missteps in the National Football League to be out of place or to be out of whack, if you will. Obviously, we were not in step on Sunday.”

Bengals sign another DT CINCINNATI (AP) — The Bengals have signed defensive tackle Kheeston Randall to fill the roster spot of All-Pro Geno Atkins, out for the season with a torn knee ligament. Randall was the Dolphins’ seventh-round pick last year and played in 12 games. He was waived by Miami on Aug. 31. Atkins tore the ACL in his right knee during a 22-20 overtime loss in Miami last Thursday.

The Bengals put Atkins on injured reserve Monday and replaced him by signing defensive tackle Christo Bilukidi, a sixth-round pick of the Raiders last year. The deal was later voided by the NFL because Bilukidi didn’t have a current work permit from Canada to keep playing in the United States after the Raiders waived him, so the Bengals signed Randall on Tuesday.

Browns activate Pinkston BEREA, Ohio (AP) — The Cleveland Browns have activated guard Jason Pinkston from the injured reserve/designated-for-return list and waived offensive lineman Rashad Butler. Pinkston has been sidelined all season after sustaining a high ankle sprain in an Aug. 15 exhibition against Detroit. The Browns placed him on the short-term injured reserve list, which allows teams to bring back a player after eight weeks. It’s been a hard road back for Pinkston. He

started 16 games as a rookie in 2011, but had a life-threatening health scare last season when he developed blood clots in his lungs. There was no guarantee Pinkston would be able to play again, but the former fifth-round draft pick worked his way back and was battling for a starting job when he got hurt against the Lions. Pinkston tweeted that it was great to be back but called it “bittersweet” because Butler was released.

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin insists he’s “not opposed to turning over any stone” to breathe some life into his listless team. Midway through the season, there may be no stones left. Not at 2-6. Trades. Waiver wire signings. Minor starting lineup tweaks. Cutting underperforming players. Banning shuffleboard, pool and ping pong in the locker room. Tomlin and general manager Kevin Colbert have tried it all in the two months the franchise has appeared in free fall follow- Tomlin ing a decade of nearly unparalleled success. Since reaching 6-3 with an overtime win against Kansas City last November, the Steelers are 4-11. Tomlin stressed on Tuesday the potential for turning it around remains in the locker room, even after a 55-31 gouging by New England last weekend. Yet the Steelers couldn’t change much in the middle of the season because the trade deadline has passed. The waiver wire is barren and the injured reserve list is thick with starters turned hobbled bystanders. Any sweeping changes will have to wait until after the season. Until then, Tomlin will press on with an underachieving group that he had a major hand in putting together. He has faith better football is ahead.

Visit parks, art galleries, libraries, campuses and beautiful museums. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Keep your eyes open, because gifts, goodies and favors from others can come your way. This is the beginning of a five-month stretch that favors you beautifully!

What's good for you is good for me, and what's good for me is good for you. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Work-related romance might begin for some of you. Others will use today's energy to help a co-worker, especially someone in need. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Look for opportunities to socialize, enjoy sports events and have fun with others.

have the district survive,” said Scheu. “We will have to replace the 9.9-mill levy with something.” “This (loss) was disappointing to me because this was just a different way to collect the money for the district,” he said. The income tax levy would have generated $4.77 million per year if approved. It was to replace an expiring emergency 9.9-mill levy that generated $4.55 million annually and a previously expired permanent improvements levy that had generated $250,000 per year. The 9.9-mill levy, which is a property tax, expires Dec. 31. Final collection on that levy will be at the end of the year in 2014. The “We Listened, We Acted” levy campaign was led by Davis, Warner and Rose, who issued the following statement after Tuesday’s defeat: “As disappointed as we are, the voters have spoken, yet as we deliberate a just future for our community we must remain dedicated to adequately funding our Sidney City Schools. “Our school system has reduced its annual operating budget by over $6 million or 18 percent, added educational and security programs without increasing taxes, all by living within our means. The compelling need remains to replace the revenue that is being

lost by the expiring 9.9 mill emergency property tax levy. We ask that all citizens become involved, understand the school’s mission and finances and offer holistic solutions to the identified concerns so that together we can make our community and Sidney City Schools better than any single one of us can imagine,” the statement said. The school district had listened to voters after the 0.8-mill permanent improvement levy expired and the failure of a 4.73 mill emergency levy in 2010. The district made cuts in expenditures amounting to $6.6 million per year. All staff in the district agreed to have their salaries/benefits cut by 5.8 percent. All salaries have been frozen until 2015. Staff for the district has gone from 500 employees to 401. Scheu said no decisions will be made immediately on when to put a levy back on the ballot. “We’re going to let the air clear and put our heads together to see where we go from here,” said Scheu. “We have to in 2014 pass something to replace the 9.9-mill levy.” “We’re not planning any cuts — we’re not to that point yet,” he said. “But if if don’t pass something in 2014, there will be reductions. But I don’t think there’s another $4.7 million that we can cut from our budget.”

cil enacted. “I think she’s a very nice lady,” he said. “It was just a matter of a difference of opinion. … I wish her the best.” Craynon said he also felt council has not been aggressive enough in dealing with abandoned buildings and their owners. “That’s why I ran,” he said. “That and the fact that they (council) gave themselves a $1,000 pay raise” when citizens will have to pay higher utility rates. McMillan could not be reached for comment Tuesday night. All of Sidney’s four wards were on the bal-

lot Tuesday, but the 2nd Ward was the only one where there was competition for City Council. The other candidates (all incumbents) and their vote totals are Martha Milligan, 1st Ward, 933; and Steve Wagner, 4th Ward, 869. No one ran in the 3rd Ward, which will become vacant when Tom Miller retires from the post next month. Council is expected to fill that vacancy. Ju d g e Duane Goettemoeller ran unopposed for re-election as Sidney Municipal Court judge. He got 7,601 votes.

Levy ers have spoken. I’d like to thank the people who voted for the levy — it was very much appreciated. “I’d also like to thank the three levy co-chairs — Renee Davis, Bill Warner and Dave Rose. They put this levy campaign on their back and spent endless hours to get the levy passed. We had a tremendous effort that fell short.” Scheu said since the levy was defeated by a larger margin than in August, he feels the voters were sending one of two messages to the board of education. “The first message is that the 1 percent traditional income tax was not favorably received. The voters soundly defeated this message,” he said. “My overriding concern is that the message that the voters are sending is that they don’t care that we cut our budget. They don’t care that we’ve lived within our means. That they don’t care about the sacrifices our staff has made.” “They are telling us when the 9.9-mill levy comes off the books, we’re going to have to find another way to absorb those losses,” Scheu said. He noted that in 2014 the voters will “have to pass something, sometime to replace the 9.9mill levy.” “We can’t absorb another $4.7 million in cuts and

be called “nerds,” and we were proud of it. But lately, she has been hanging around with the “cool” girls at school and has been acting real phony. I know the cool group has accepted her because they all have pet names for each other and they now call her “Peaches.” When I asked her why she was doing this, she said she didn’t know what I was talking about. She still talks to me at night, but she totally ignores me at school. To make matters worse, she told me she doesn’t want to go roller-skating with me anymore on Friday nights because she wants to meet boys. Do you think it is possible I can make her come to her senses? — Kelly, Atlanta, Ga. KELLY: Few things feel more disappointing than a best friend’s desertion, but that appears to be what’s happening to you. She’s changing. I doubt that she’ll “come to her senses” any time soon. Your best bet is to stop counting on her companionship — especially during the school day — the way you used to. Look for other friends with whom you have more in common. By all means, keep talking to her in the evenings. Your friendship may survive this confusing time, but for now, don’t expect too much from your old pal.
