Voices his opinion about guns on campus Kathy Leese

INSIDE TODAY

Sidney Police Chief Will Balling is apparently no fan of Sidney City Schools staff members carrying weapons in school.

At Monday’s Sidney City Council meeting, Balling referred to a “tense� situation between the Police Department and Sidney Schools over the weapons in school issue. Balling believes that in an active shooter situation, a teacher with a gun could be shot.

Balling was presenting goals for the Police Department and told council the problem as he sees it relates to Superintendent John Scheu’s support of teachers being trained to respond in an active shooter situation “without a plan.�

Balling was responding to a question by Balling Councilman Tom Miller regarding the program.

Later, Balling told the Sidney Daily News he thinks

“there needs to be a lot more work� put into the idea of teachers as first responders. “My main concern is the safety of the kids and the teachers,� he said.

Balling noted he was not contacted by either Scheu the superintendent or Shelby County Sheriff John Lenhart, who has been involved in helping

set up the program in the city schools. He noted he was the one who set up an initial meeting to discuss having school security officers in each building. Balling said those would include retired law enforcement officers and reserve deputies. “At that point, I was fine with them if they wanted to put officers in the school. I asked if they had a policy about See SAFETY | 7

Village meeting set Kathy Leese ANNA - Anna Village Council has started the process to possibly disband the Anna Police Department and will be holding a town hall meeting next week regarding the decision, all as Anna Police Chief Scott Evans returns to his job following unpaid administrative leave.

Council President Richard Eshleman Evans said Police Chief Scott Evans returned to his job last week after Mayor Robert Anderson contacted a psychologist who met with

Evans and found him fit to return to work.

While Evans has returned, it may not be for long. Eshleman said village officials have met with the Shelby County Sheriff John Lenhart to possibly take over law enforcement if the police department is disbanded.

Eshleman said Evans is aware that council may take this action.

Anna FFA Chapter chosen No. 1 in nation ANNA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Anna FFA Chapter was chosen as the No. 1 chapter in the nation for chapter development at the 86th National FFA Convention in Louisville, Ky. A six-week chicken-feed trial, with a built-in service learning project and FFA awareness goal, led to the Anna FFA receiving this prestigious national award.

Members of the 144-member chapter sought to increase FFA awareness among local businesses and organizations while giving back to the community. In their animal science class, members raised broiler chickens while conducting feed trials, observed the chickens being harvested, and then donated more than 190 pounds of shredded chicken to the local Veterans Day luncheon hosted by the

Anna Local Schools, feeding nearly 100 veterans and 500 students. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What we feel is important about this chicken-feed trial and bringing it to the students of Anna is that students are able to connect with the startto-finish process of food production,â&#x20AC;? said Sarah Heilers, Agricultural Education teacher at Anna High School. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Caring for the animal, observing the harvesting, and ultimately consuming the product is not something that everyone is able to experience â&#x20AC;&#x201D; through the Anna FFA, students can.â&#x20AC;?

Each year, the Anna FFA completes a National Chapter application that chronicles all events of the previous year and encourages its members to grow as individuals, to work See FFA | 3

Council increases pool admission prices Sidney City Council approved an increase in rates for Sidney Municipal Pool for next year and made a number of appointments Monday night.

Council approved a resolution that will increase the rates at the pool for 2014. The city’s five-year plan calls for 2014-18 includes a 5 percent increase in the pool rates annually.

The pool hours of operation will remain the same, but will include adjustments so that families can visit the pool after work hours and there will be adult lap swimming in the evening.

The city’s Statement of Financial Policies since 1999 has been to set pool rates to recover a minimum of 60 percent of pool operating costs, and the rest of the operating

costs and all capital costs are recovered from income tax collections. It is believed that the increases will allow the pool to recover almost 60 percent of operating costs in 2014.

The city of Sidney will offer season passes for Christmas this year for anyone interested, and the pool rates beginning May 31 for daily admission rates will be preschool, $2; students, $4; single adults, $4; and senior citizens, $3.

Season tickets through May 30 will include students, $46; single adults, $66; family for the first four, $110; and an additional two family members maximum at $11.50 each; senior citizens, $45; corporate rate family of four pass (minimum order of 50 passes) $105; and replacement tickets, $5.50.

After May 30, the season ticket prices will increase: stu-

Sollmann was appointed to the board July 8 to fill the unexpired one year term of Michael Puckett. The one-year term will be replaced with a threeyear term.

The WODC has amended its bylaws to change the representation on the board of directors. Previously, the city manager was the only city representative on the board. The new bylaws require a 15-person board with appointments from five sources appointing three members.

Those sources include the city of Sidney, Shelby County, Community Improvement Corp., Sidney-Shelby County Chamber of Commerce and the incorporated villages of Shelby County.

Screening planned ST. MARYS — Joint Township District Memorial Hospital will host a vascular screening event for anyone concerned about their vascular health. Especially targeted for those people with cardiovascular risk factors such as a history of hypertension, diabetes mellitus, smoking, hypercholesterolemia, varicose veins, or known cardiovascular disease. The non-invasive, painless screenings evaluate three prevalent vascular diseases: Carotid artery disease, peripheral arterial disease (PAD), and abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA).

The cost is $20 for each screening or all three for $50. The screening will be held at the Wapakoneta Medical Center, 812 Redskin Trail, Wapakoneta on Nov. 20 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. An appointment required and can be made by calling 419-394-3335.

Vascular disease is one of the leading causes of disability and death in the United States however; often there are no symptoms until it is too late.

The three most prevalent vascular diseases are: • Carotid artery disease leads to strokes, the fourth leading cause of death

in the U.S. with nearly 129,000 people dying annually.

• Peripheral Arterial Disease also called PAD, occurs when blood vessels in the legs are narrowed or blocked by fatty deposits and blood flow to your feet and legs decreases.

If you have PAD, you have an increased risk for heart attack and stroke.

Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States. About 10 million people in the United States have peripheral vascular disease, which translates to about 5 percent of people older than 50.

• Ruptured Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm result in more than 15,000 people dying annually in the U.S. The incidence of AAA is 2 to 4 percent in the adult population. Most AAAs are asymptomatic and physical examinations lacks sensitivity for detecting an aneurysm.

Also available will be free varicose vein screenings and education offered by the staff of the Vein Care Center at Joint Township District Memorial Hospital. To schedule an appointment, contact central schedule at 419-394-3335.

as part of a team, and to serve others. The application is first evaluated at the state level prior to the State FFA Convention in May, where the Anna FFA Chapter was recently named the top chapter in the state in 2013.

In August, Anna was informed it was selected as one of the top 10 chapters, out of 7,570, in the nation. Once at National Convention, two Anna FFA members delivered a presentation and interview that would enable a panel of judges to determine the final ranking, which was presented Oct. 31 at the second general session in front of a crowd of 10,000.

As part of the FFA Chapter Development goals, an FFA chapter has a responsibility to provide opportunities and service to its members. Those goals can be met by promoting increased member participation, financial responsibility, positive image, interactions with support groups, and cooperation through organized activities.

“We have put so much work into getting our chapter where it is today,” said Dominic Becker, 2013-14 Anna FFA president. “All of this recognition

has been incredible for everyone involved with the organization.

We hope to keep the chapter in these prestigious ranks for years to come.”

The chicken-feed trial project was only made possibly with the help and support of several local businesses and organizations. Hubbard Feeds, of Botkins, supplied all chicken feed; Tractor Supply Co., of Sidney, provided equipment and bedding; and Kings & Sons, of Versailles, conducted a complete tour of the harvesting process.

Partnerships with the Anna Junior High and High School Student councils and the school cafeteria staff members enabled the Anna FFA Chapter to donate the finished chicken product for the annual Veterans Day luncheon.

And the continued support of the Anna FFA Alumni and Young

Craig Berning, 2012-13 Anna FFA president, and Summer McCracken, 2012-13 Anna FFA vice president, accept the award as the No. 1 chapter in the nation at the National Convention in Louisville, Ky. last week. Berning is the son of Doug and Pam Berning, of Anna. McCracken is the daughter of Jim and Elaine McCracken, of Anna.

Farmer groups help make projects like this possible year after year, FFA members said.

“The support from the community and administration is fantastic,” said Tim Zimpfer, Agricultural Education teacher at Anna High School. “But most of the credit goes to the students — we have a great group of driven individuals in our program.”

The Anna FFA Chapter is led by Zimpfer, who has been at Anna since 2007, and Heilers, who is in her first year at Anna and replaced Michelle Brunson, who is now employed at the Upper Valley Career Center in

Piqua as an instructional supervisor.

This national award is sponsored by John Deere. It is one of the many ways FFA members accomplish the FFA mission and succeed in making a difference in their communities and the lives of others, FFA officials said. The National FFA Organization provides leadership, personal growth and career success training through agricultural education to 579,678 student members in grades 7-12 who belong to one of 7,570 local FFA chapters throughout the U.S., Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands.

Nation/World Today in History The Associated Press

Today is Thursday, Nov. 14, the 318th day of 2013.

There are 47 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Nov. 14, 1862, during the Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln gave the go-ahead for Maj. Gen. Ambrose Burnside’s plan to capture the Confederate capital of Richmond; the resulting Battle of Fredericksburg proved a disaster for the Union.

On this date: In 1851, Herman Melville’s novel “Moby-Dick; Or, The Whale” was first published in the United States.

In 1881, Charles J. Guiteau went on trial for assassinating President James A. Garfield. (Guiteau was convicted and hanged the following year.)

In 1889, inspired by Jules Verne, New York World reporter Nellie Bly (Elizabeth Cochrane) set out to travel around the world in less than 80 days.

(She made the trip in 72 days.) Jawarharlal Nehru, the first prime minister of independent India, was born.

In 1910, Eugene B. Ely became the first aviator to take off from a ship as his Curtiss pusher rolled off a sloping platform on the deck of the scout cruiser USS Birmingham off Hampton Roads, Va. In 1922, the British Broadcasting Co. began its domestic radio service.

In 1940, during World War II, German planes destroyed most of the English town of Coventry.

In 1944, Tommy Dorsey and his orchestra recorded “Opus No. 1” for RCA Victor.

In 1969, Apollo 12 blasted off for the moon.

In 1970, a chartered Southern Airways DC-9 crashed while trying to land in Huntington, W.Va., killing all 75 people on board, including the Marshall University football team and its coaching staff.

In 1972, the Dow Jones Industrial Average closed above the 1,000 level for the first time, ending the day at 1,003.16.

In 1986, the Securities and Exchange Commission imposed a $100 million penalty against inside-trader Ivan F. Boesky and barred him from working again in the securities industry.

In 1997, a jury in Fairfax, Va., decided that Pakistani national Aimal Khan Kasi should get the death penalty for gunning down two CIA employees outside agency headquarters.

Ten years ago: John Kerry became the second Democratic hopeful to opt out of public financing for his presidential run, following the example of rival Howard Dean. A third person died following an outbreak of hepatitis A at a ChiChi’s Mexican restaurant at the Beaver Valley Mall outside Pittsubrgh.

Man attacks cab with didgeridoo CHULA VISTA, Calif.

(AP) — A Southern California man has been arrested after police say he whacked a taxi with a didgeridoo in an argument over the fare.

U-T San Diego says the 31-year-old man and a woman were picked up Sunday night in Chula Vista then fell asleep during a 20-minute ride to a home.

Police Lt. Phil Collum says when they arrived, the man got into an argument with the cabbie over the fare.

Collum says he went into the house and came out with a didgeridoo — a long, wooden instrument from Australia.

Collum says the man threatened the driver with it. The cabbie drove off, but the man allegedly chased the cab and whacked it several times with the didgeridoo, denting the vehicle.

Arriving police arrested the man on suspicion of vandalism.

Clinic in Philippines overrun Jim Gomez And Kristen Gelineau Associated Press

TACLOBAN, Philippines (AP) — A run-down, singlestory building with filthy floors at Tacloban’s ruined airport has become the area’s main medical center for victims of last week’s powerful typhoon. It has little medicine, virtually no facilities and very few doctors.

What it is not short of are patients.

Hundreds of injured people, pregnant women, children and the elderly have poured into the squat, white building behind the control tower since Typhoon Haiyan ravaged the eastern Philippines on Friday, killing thousands. Doctors who have been dealing with cuts, fractures and pregnancy’ complications said Wednesday they soon expect to be treating more serious problems such as pneumonia, dehydration, diarrhea and infections.

The medical woes add to the daunting tasks for authorities,

including dealing with looters and clearing the bottlenecks holding up thousands of tons of aid material from coming in.

“The priority has got to be, let’s get the food in, let’s get the water in. We got a lot more come in today, But even that won’t be enough, We really need to scale up operation in an ongoing basis,” U.N. humanitarian chief Valerie Amos told reporters after touring Talcoban, the capital of Leyte province. Her office has released $25 million in emergency relief fund, accounting for a chunk of the millions of dollars pledged by countries around the world.

While the cogs of what promises to be a massive international aid effort are beginning to turn, they are not quick enough for the 600,000 people displaced, many of them homeless, hungry and thirsty.

With the Tacloban airport battered and roads made impassable by debris, very little aid has arrived in the city. Most of it is stuck in Manila and

Typhoon Haiyan survivors pass by on a scooter as two U.S. Osprey aircraft fly over the ruins of Tacloban, central Philippines on Wednesday, Nov. 13, 2013.

Typhoon Haiyan, one of the most powerful storms on record, hit the country’s eastern seaboard on Friday, destroying tens of thousands of buildings and displacing hundreds of thousands of people.

the nearby airport of Cebu, a 45-minute flight away.

Many among the desperate residents have resorted to raiding for food. Mobs overran a rice warehouse on Leyte, col-

lapsing a wall that killed eight people. Thousands of sacks of the grain were carted off.

Also Wednesday, security forces exchanged gunfire with an armed gang.

White House to release health law figures Laurie Kellman And Ricardo Alonso-Zaldivar Associated Press

WASHINGTON (AP) — After weeks of criticism over the balky rollout of the health care signup website, the Obama administration is releasing figures on how many people have successfully enrolled through the new federal insurance exchanges.

In advance, officials are lowering expectations for the numbers, given the widespread technical issues that have hampered the website since its Oct. 1 launch.

The tightly held num-

bers being released Wednesday are believed to amount to only a small fraction of the nearly 500,000 initial sign-ups that administration officials had projected before the healthcare.gov site went live.

The figures are expected to cover sign-ups that occurred in October, the first month of the sixmonth enrollment window. Officials say they expect enrollment to be heavier toward the end of that period.

The announcement was coming as congressional investigators held hearings into the technical issues behind the

dysfunctional rollout of the website. Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, had a long list of issues: insufficient testing, possible security flaws, design shortcomings — even allegations of political meddling.

But there didn’t seem to be a “smoking gun” behind the technical failure that has mortified supporters of President Barack Obama’s health care law and cheered its opponents. The technology’s cost to taxpayers: north of $600 million and climbing.

It was the sixth major

congressional hearing since computerized insurance markets went live Oct. 1 and millions of consumers encountered frozen screens. The oversight committee was sharply divided along partisan lines.

“Established best practices of our government were not used in this case,” said Issa. As a result, the law’s promise of affordable health insurance “does not exist today in a meaningful way.” Like other Republicans, Issa wants the law repealed, not fixed.

Ranking Democrat Elijah Cummings of Maryland questioned

Issa’s fairness.

Addressing Issa directly, Cummings said: “Over the past month, instead of working in a bipartisan manner to improve the website, you’ve politicized this issue by repeatedly making unfounded allegations.”

A key issue for Issa is why the administration required consumers to first create online accounts at HealthCare.gov before they could shop for health plans. That runs counter to the common e-commerce practice of allowing anonymous window-shopping. Outside experts say it increased the workload on a wobbly system.

Toronto mayor admits buying illegal drugs Rob Gillies Associated Press

TORONTO (AP) — Toronto Mayor Rob Ford admitted during a heated City Council debate Wednesday that he had bought illegal drugs in the past two years, but he firmly refused to step down even after nearly every councilor stood up to ask him to take a leave of absence.

The mayor made the confession under direct questioning by a former ally, Councilor Denzil Minnan-Wong.

Ford publicly admitted last week that he smoked crack cocaine last year in a “drunken stupor,” but his comments Wednesday marked the first time he acknowl-

edged having bought illegal drugs.

Ford paused for a long time after MinnanWong asked him if he had bought illicit narcotics in the past two years.

Then Ford replied, “Yes I have.”

“I understand the embarrassment that I have caused. I am humiliated by it,” Ford said.

But he then turned defiant, saying he was not an addict of any sort and rebuffing suggestions from council members that he should seek help. He insisted he is a “positive role model for kids who are down and out.”

“I’m most definitely keeping this job,” he said. “I am not leav-

ing here. I’m going to sit here and going to attend every meeting.”

Moments earlier, all but two of the 43 councilors present for the debate voted to accept an open letter asking Ford to step aside. Most of them also stood up to urge the mayor to take a leave of absence.

Although it was a stark demonstration of his political isolation, the vote was symbolic because the City Council does not have the authority to force the mayor from office unless he is convicted of a crime.

“Together we stand to ask you to step aside and take a leave of absence,” Councilor Jaye Robinson said, reading the open letter.

Mayor Rob Ford talks during a City Council debate in Toronto on Wednesday. Toronto Mayor Rob Ford admitted Wednesday that he bought illegal drugs in the past two years and that he will not step down.

The packed council chamber erupted with applause when Robinson ended her speech, saying “Let’s get on with city business.”

Outside City Hall,

hundreds of protesters changed “resign!” And organizers of Toronto’s Santa Claus Parade asked that Ford not walk in the procession this year.

Doctors are told to get serious about obesity Mike Stobbe AP Medical Writer

ATLANTA (AP) — Next time you go for a checkup, don’t be surprised if your doctor gets on your case about your weight.

The medical profession has issued new guidelines for fighting the nation’s obesity epidemic, and they urge physicians to be a lot more aggressive about helping patients drop those extra pounds.

Doctors should calculate your body mass index, a weight-toheight ratio. And if you need to lose weight, they should come up with a plan and send you for counseling.

“We recognize that telling patients to lose weight is not enough,” said Dr. Donna Ryan, co-chair of the guidelines committee.

The good news? By next year, most insurance companies are expected to cover counseling and other obesity treatments, following in the steps of the Medicare program, which began paying for one-on-one help last year.

More than a third of U.S. adults are obese, and that’s been the case since the middle of the last decade. Officials define someone with a BMI of 30 or higher as obese. A 5-foot-9 person would be

obese at 203 pounds.

Doctors are well aware that excess weight can trigger diabetes and lead to heart disease and other health problems. Yet surveys have shown that only about a third of obese patients recall their doctor talking to them about their BMI or counseling them about weight loss.

The guidelines were released this week by a group of medical organizations that include the American Heart Association, the American College of Cardiology and the Obesity Society.

They come amid a spate of important developments in the fight against obesity.

Last year, the Food and Drug Administration approved two more obesity-fighting drugs. And this year, the AMA labeled obesity a disease, a measure intended to get doctors to pay more attention to the problem and prod more insurers to pay for treatments.

Yet many people have been on their own when it comes to slimming down, left to sift through the myriad diets and exercise schemes that are promoted for weight loss. And most doctors have little training in how to help their obese patients, other than telling them it’s a problem and

they need to do something about it.

“I feel for these guys,” said Dr. Tim Church, a researcher at Louisiana State University’s Pennington Biomedical Research Center. “They have patients who come in and ask them about the latest fad diet. They’re not trained in this stuff and they’re not comfortable” recommending particular diets or weight-loss plans.

The guidelines advise doctors to: — At least once year, calculate patients’ BMI, measure their waists and tell them if they are overweight or obese.

— Develop a weight-loss plan that includes exercise and moderate calorie-cutting.

— Consider recommending weight-loss surgery for patients with a BMI of 40 or for those with a BMI of 35 who also have two other risk factors for heart disease such as diabetes or high blood pressure.

— Refer overweight and obese patients who are headed for heart problems to weightloss programs. Specifically, discuss enrolling them in at least 14 face-to-face counseling sessions over six months with a registered dietitian, psychologist or

other professional with training in weight management.

Web or phone-based counseling sessions are considered a less effective option.

Donna LeBlanc said the new guidelines are overdue.

More than year ago, the Baton Rouge, La., woman sat down with her longtime family doctor to talk about her weight and get a referral for some kind of help. She had tried dieting without success for more than a decade, had high blood pressure and was about to hit a dress size of 20.

She said the doctor smiled and told her: “There’s a lot of programs out there. But really, you just have to eat less.”

“It just devastated me,” LeBlanc recalled. “He was saying, ‘It’s all in your mind.’ I was thinking, ‘If I could do that, don’t you think I would have done it by now?’”

She changed doctors and has lost 40 pounds from her 5-foot-4 frame since May after getting into an intensive Pennington weightloss program that includes counseling sessions.

Doctors “need to get the message,” ”LeBlanc said. “Just telling someone you need to push the plate away is not going to work for everyone.”

In spite of the personal nature of the attack, however, as we humble ourselves in the moment of evil provocation, as we “go lower” than ever before as though bowing in faith before Christ, as we allow GOD to fully reign even in the midst of our own seeming detriment, God glorifies himself and opens divine, effectual doors before us like never before.

And remember, my fellow disciples of Christ Jesus, that it’s not just about right thoughts or forgiveness.

In “going lower” in humility, just like Christ is asking us to do right now, lower than we ever thought he’d ask us to go, we experience him as we never have before.

As we step through his wounds in the fellowship of his suffering, we will step into our next, more intimate, more revelatory, chapter with and in Christ Jesus.

“For God called you to do good, even if it means suffering, just as Christ suffered for you. He is your example, and you must follow in his steps. He never sinned, nor ever deceived anyone. He did not retaliate when he was insulted, nor threaten revenge when he suffered. He left his case in the hands of God, who always judges fairly. He personally carried our sins in his body on the cross so that we can be dead to sin and live for what is right. By his wounds you are healed. Once you were like sheep who wandered away. But now you have turned to your Shepherd, the Guardian of your souls.” — 1 Peter 2:21-25 “But whatever things of this world I used to consider gain to me, I now consider loss for the sake of Christ.

Typhoon relief collection urged CINCINNATI — Archbishop Dennis M. Schnurr has asked parishes of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati to consider taking a second collection either this upcoming weekend or the weekend of Nov. 30-Dec. 1 to respond to the devastation wrought

by Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines and Vietnam.

Thousands of people are feared dead, and 9 million have been affected.

“As we keep all of the people impacted by this tragedy in our prayers, particularly those who may be family members and friends of your own parishioners,” Schnurr wrote in a letter to pastors. “I ask that you also pray for Father Harold Geers, Father Ken Hendricks and Father Hilaire Valiquette, three missionaries from our own archdiocese living there.”

The funds from this spe-

cial collection will be used to support the efforts of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) and Catholic Relief Services (CRS) as they respond to immediate emergency needs for such necessities as water, food, shelter and medical care, and assist in the long-term recovery from the disaster. CRS is already on the ground mobilizing relief efforts. Collected funds also will be used to

I now consider those things of old to be like dung, so that I may gain Christ and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ — the righteousness given to us by God on the basis of our faith in Christ. I want to know Christ — to know the power of his resurrection and yes, even participation in his sufferings, becoming like him even in his death, so that I might in this way, at any price, attain to the resurrection from the dead to eternal life.” — Philippians 3:7-11 The front of my face on the top of his feet …

Twinning

Experiencing America

BY: EMILY HOERSTEN Twins are two babies that result from one pregnancy. One in every 34 babies is a twin or a triplet. The Lehman senior class has been blessed with two sets of twins.

Seniors Patrick and Stephen Blenman are one set of twins in the class of 2014.

The boys agree that the best part of having a twin is knowing the other one will always be there for them when they need it. Just because they are twins does not mean they are exactly the same. It is actually quite the opposite. Stephen said, “Our personalities are very different. He is an extrovert and I am an introvert. We also have very different interests.”

Patrick said his relationship with Stephen is different than that of his other two siblings, “We do everything together.

We have a closer bond because we have gone through our lives in the same stages, from school to learning to drive to graduation later this year.”

Seniors Katie and Rob Heckman are the second set of twins. Both Katie and Rob commented on how they share everything with each other, from a car to a birthday.

Despite the fact that sharing everything can sometimes be a burden, it does have its pluses. Katie said, “If I forget a book, I can always borrow Rob’s.” Though they get on each other’s nerves, neither could imagine life without the other. Rob said, “When you have a twin, you always have a best friend.”

Just as they need each other in their lives, the Lehman community greatly appreciates them in ours. We wish the best for the four of them as they reach the end of their high school careers together.

BY: EMMA SIMPSON One of the many international students attending Lehman this year is Linh Tu, a sophomore from Vietnam.

Tu is from Ho Chi Minh City, the biggest city in Vietnam.

She has two younger siblings, one is twelve and the other is three. This is her first time in America but she is staying with some of her relatives who live here, which has made the transition to living in America much easier.

In Vietnam, Tu played basketball and tennis and was also a cheerleader, but she isn’t sure if she plans to participate in any of those activities in America. She is thoroughly enjoying Lehman and her favorite thing is the teachers. “I was having some problems during my first days here, but the teachers gave me extra time to do my work and helped me after classes which was very helpful,” said Tu. While she is in America she would like to visit California, as she has friends who live there. She also likes the weather there, and Vietnamese food is popular on the west coast. Her favorite American food is beef, but her favorite overall thing about America is the people. “Everyone has been very friendly to me,” she said.

We are enjoying having international students at Lehman. It will be great to see all that Linh Tu adds to the school.

Ecstatic about Economics

BY: DREW WESTERHEIDE A new class has swept through the Lehman curriculum and that class is none other than Economics!

This class focuses on how markets and economies work throughout the world and how the markets behave. The class is split up into the two semesters. The first semester focuses on “micro economics” which is all about the basic principles of the market, for example, the concept of supply and demand.

The second semester focuses on “macro economics.” This centers on specific principles about the economies throughout the world. The class also learns about specific economies in different places throughout the world, how these economies affect the countries, and how they differ from other countries and economies in different areas of the world.

The class is taught by Mr. Joe Schmiesing who has traveled to many places throughout the world. He has observed these economies first hand and has a great knowledge of the areas the class studies. “It’s always good to have a class that is a challenge to me to teach and to offer valuable information to the students in the process,” said Schmiesing. “The area of economics is not very well understood by many people so it is nice to be able to offer this information to the students here.”

Junior Joe Skelton said, “The material in the class is challenging but the benefits and the information we gather are going to go a long way for us in the future, especially if we decide to major in business.”

The class is challenging but seems that it could be a good class for a person to take, so if you are looking for an elective to challenge you and expand your knowledge on the world, take Econ! You will definitely not regret it.

Five members of the Sidney club were selected to appear on the radio program in a contest with the Springfield club. They are: Urban Doorley, Joseph Wright, W.R. Minton, Norbert Pointner and Elmo Arthur.

––––– Alonzo Stover, of Mechanicsburg, a WPA engineer employed on a project in the vicinity of Anna, was severely injured in an auto accident near Pearl Cemetery, north of the city, about 7:30 this morning. The accident occurred when the Stover car ran off the road and struck a guard rail after sideswiping a car being driven in the opposite direction of Miriam Harman, of Anna. The latter was not injured and Mr. Stover, after receiving treatment for his injuries in the office of Dr. Tirey at Anna was brought to Sidney.

50 years Nov. 14, 1963 Miss Emma Boyer, a former Sidney resident, has returned to this city to make her home to reside at 120 East Clay Street.

––––– Miss Boyer returns from Cleveland where she was long associated with research libraries of financial institutions. When she returned she was with the library of the National City Bank in that city. Miss Boyer began her library association in Sidney when she accepted a position with the then Sidney Public Library, working with the late Miss Emma Graham, librarian. She began work following graduation from Sidney High School.

Safety From page 1 guns in school. They had not developed any policy or procedure. They asked Sidney Police to help identify the teachers that would have the guns.”

Balling said he recommended to Scheu that teachers be psychologically tested and have a background check.

“We are not set up to do psychological testing. At that point, I took what they had no policy, no plan, no design,” Balling said. Balling said he discussed the issue with Ken Trump of School Security 911, Miami Valley Risk Management Association (the city’s insurance) and other chiefs of police.

He also said he doesn’t feel the training the teachers received is adequate. “It takes more than shooting a target.

You have safety factors to consider — not a couple days of training.”

Balling said when he attempted to address the issue, Scheu “was not very happy” with Balling’s opinion. Balling said he then asked the Board of Education “to use caution.”

Balling alleges Lenhart was also not happy with Balling’s view of the situation and

“only talked to me one time after that.” Balling said Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine “does not recommend putting the guns in teacher’s hands.”

He said he discussed the issue with Obetz Chief of Police Kenneth Hinkle, who serves on the AG’s Police School Safety Task Force.

Among hazards Balling cited is that the biometric safe for the guns, which can only be opened by using a fingerprint, could inadvertently be left open, or even misused by a student.

Balling said he is worried because there is a 70 percent chance that a teacher would miss their target if they were firing in an active shooter situation.

The chief said if one of his officers arrived on the scene and there was a teacher standing there with a gun, and they do not know it is a teacher, he feels they should “shoot the teacher.” He would expect his officers to view the teacher as “a bad guy” in a situation of uncertainty.

“We can have up to 10 officers there in two minutes,” Balling said, but he worries

about “four or five others” walking around the school with guns. He said it’s possible a teacher could also shoot an officer.

Balling provided an exchange of emails among various parties regarding the issue. In many, Balling expresses his displeasure with the schools and the first responder teams. In one, Sidney City Manager Mark Cundiff alleges that Balling “had a telephone conversation with Sheriff Lenhart” and that Lenhart “was very upset and made vague threats” about the county “pulling out of the Drug Unit and the Tactical Team” because of Balling’s opinion about the first response teams.

Cundiff alleges “the Sheriff and Superintendent went to every public school in Shelby County ‘pitching’ their idea of ‘response teams’ and no county school wanted to do it. They also pitched the idea to schools in Miami County and got similar responses.”

Scheu said he wishes Balling would not have chosen to make comments at the council meeting.

“I would have preferred to

air our differences in private and get those issues worked out instead of bringing it up to council without my being present to present my view,” he said.

Scheu disagrees with Balling on a number of points, including the fact that SCS does not have a plan.

“We do have a plan in place.

This is not his call. We have first responder teams in all the schools. (There is) monthly firearms training, collaboration and training.”

Scheu also disagrees about psychological testing. “The school security officer and the principal have interviewed the teachers … they determine who they want to have on the first responder team that are volunteers … the principal knows that individual as well as anybody. When a teacher is hired, they go through a background check.”

“A first responder team is not taking the place of police officers. A first responder team is there to take care of the threat of an active shooter immediately. We want a team in place, even if the police can

Tuesday night.”

Council will have a town hall meeting Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. at Anna Elementary School, 607 N. Pike St. Eshleman said that during the meeting, council members will “explain to the citizens about the whole situation,” including what will happen to the police department.

There will be a question and answer period.

Eshleman said local residents are not aware of the entire story “because we have not disclosed any of the details.” He noted those who attended recent council meetings “weren’t supportive, but it’s obvious they didn’t know all the details.”

The goal of council is to “have at least equal (police protection), but try to improve police services,” Eshleman said, noting

that he feels the Sheriff’s Office can provide the services. “This all started back in January, looking at the Sheriff’s Office as an option. I think recent circumstances brought this forward.”

Eshleman said that if the department is disbanded, its employees will have opportunities for other jobs, but it will be up to the Sheriff’s Office to make decisions.

Scheu said Balling wants to meet with the school board in executive session, but his reasons do not fit the requirements for executive session.

He said Balling could address the board in open session, however.

The superintendent said the school district’s security plan was sent to the AG and they are now revising it and will resubmit it to include the first responder teams.

Scheu said Balling is responsible for tension that is developing.

“He is still not accepting the fact that we are going to have security measures. He is the one that is making this an issue.”

When contacted, Lenhart said, the controversy is not a debate issue between him and Balling, but between Balling and the schools.

Scheu and Balling were scheduled to meet today to try and resolve some issues, and that he expects the meeting to be “tense” because of the school safety issues.

Horoscope HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Thursday, Nov. 14, 2013: This year your creativity surges; however, every once in a while there could be a lull. Your intuition comes through in all ventures, especially risky ones. If you are single, you could find it challenging to find a match who is on the same wavelength, but you will have fun dating. If you are attached, you seem to have a sixth sense about your sweetie. Still, know that you will not always be right.

Listen to your sweetie and understand where he or she might be coming from. ARIES can match your energy.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-Soso; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) ★★★ You see a situation differently from how others see it. What has been hazy could become crystal clear through others’ actions.

Opportunities might emerge from a realestate matter.

Tonight: Get into weekend mode.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) ★★★ You could be more aware of what a friendship offers you as opposed to your idealistic dreams.

have adjusted. Tonight: Get some R and R. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) ★★★★★ Aim for more of what you would want, and treat it as though others are not actively making requests of you. A boss or parent could reveal a new side of him- or herself that you need to acknowledge. Others might not be as clear as you would like. Tonight: Out and about.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) ★★★★ You are in a position to take action, but a question remains unresolved in your mind. Think about what you want. Make decisions only when you have all the facts at hand. You don’t need to make an error. Tonight: Get extra work done.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) ★★★★ You’ll see a partner in a new light. You might feel as if a veil has been dropped, and you can see the real person now.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) ★★★★ You could be experiencing a reversal with a child or loved one. What you are seeing is that your perception of what might be going on is very different from reality.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) ★★★ Note if your sixth sense is improving. If so, you might want to be more willing to follow your intuition. You will see excellent results, as you often pick up on what is happening around you on a subconscious level. Tonight: Make weekend plans.

Browns eye stadium upgrade TOM WITHERS AP Sports Writer CLEVELAND (AP) — They’ve boosted their reputation and improved their record.

Now the Browns want to upgrade their stadium.

Days away from playing their biggest game in years, the NFL team unveiled plans Wednesday to modernize FirstEnergy Stadium with a two-year, $120 million renovation project.

Browns CEO Joe Banner said the club will present its proposal, which includes the installation of new, high-definition video scoreboards, escalators and a reduction of 3,000 seats, to the city’s planning commission on Thursday.

The Browns will also meet with Mayor Frank Jackson and city officials about approval and funding for the project.

Banner wouldn’t reveal who would be paying for the endeavor, but promised the Browns “will make a significant investment.” The NFL recently approved a $62.5 million loan to the team to be used toward stadium improvements and Banner said all of that money will be applied toward the plan.

It’s apparent the Browns will ask the city for some money, but it’s not known how much.

“We have to do this together,” Banner said. “Obviously, the planning commission and a number of agencies in the city would have to be in line and approving this project for it to happen economics aside, and obviously economics aren’t an aside, so there is nothing that can happen to the stadium without the city feeling positive.”

The Browns unveiled plans for the stadium makeover — to take place over the next two offseasons

Cleveland Browns CEO Joe Banner, second from left, speaks during a presentation on a proposed renovation to FirstEnegy Stadium with team president Alec Scheiner, left, owner Jimmy Haslam and emcee Jim Donovan, right, Wednesday in Cleveland.

— at a splashy news conference attended by some season-ticket holders and fans.

With Banner, owner Jimmy Haslam and president Alec Scheiner sitting on stage, video highlights of this season’s first nine weeks were shown before renderings of the revamped stadium were presented to the audience.

Banner said there are no plans to put a dome or roof on the stadium because it would require a nine-figure investment. Also, the Browns will continue to play on a grass field rather than switch to a synthetic surface.

Banner said the Browns had internal discussions about building a new stadium, but opted to make enhancements and improvement to the 15-yearold facility, which was built with taxpayer money when

COLUMBUS (AP) — Two teams, each 9-0. They play in the same league. They’re both highly ranked.

Which is better?

If you’re comparing the 2012 Ohio State Buckeyes and the current version, coach Urban Meyer has the answer.

“We’re a better team,” he said, referring to his current Buckeyes. “We’re a better functioning team.”

Meyer is careful to not insult last year’s team, which definitely started from the lowest rung on the ladder.

Those Buckeyes followed a dreadful 6-7 season by going a surprising 12-0.

They posted only the sixth unblemished season in the programs 123 years despite being deprived of the incentive of playing in a bowl game.

That was taken off the table because of NCAA sanctions stemming from former coach Jim Tressel’s failure to disclose he knew of players likely taking improper benefits in 2010.

“I don’t want to ever disrespect our (2012) seniors because they were such an incredible group of players,” Meyer said. “And they were really good players, too.”

He said the difference is when Ohio State has the ball. “(Which team is better is) an interesting conversation, but we’re just more functional, certainly on offense,” Meyer said. “We’re much better on offense than we were a year ago.”

The numbers support his position.

Through nine games — and heading into a game with Illinois, just like the 2012

Haslam said. “We’re giving our fans a great place to watch football. We’re going to have a place that’s dramatically different.”

The announcement of the team’s off-field plans coincide with the Browns (4-5) preparing for Sunday’s game at Cincinnati against the firstplace Bengals (6-4). It’s Cleveland’s most important game since 2007, when the Browns finished 10-6 and just missed the playoffs.

Haslam has enjoyed watching the Browns develop into winners.

“It’s exciting and rewarding,” he said. “To be playing games that count this late in the season, this deep into November, I think is very meaningful and to see the excitement in Northeastern Ohio with our Browns fans is phenomenal.”

Unbeaten, but are they better?

This year’s third-ranked team averages 531 yards of total offense per game, 301 rushing and 230 passing. It’s scoring 48.2 points a contest.

Playing a similar schedule, the 2012 Buckeyes, ranked No. 6 through nine games, were averaging 432 yards of total offense per game, 248 rushing and 184 passing.

That squad was averaging 38.6 points a game.

Cleveland was awarded an expansion franchise in 1998.

Although the seating capacity will drop from 71,000 to 68,000, the lower bowl will be reconfigured with more seats, giving fans better sightlines of the field. The exterior will also receive a face lift, escalators will be added to aid fan movement between levels and concessions will be improved.

The stadium improvement would continue Haslam’s plan to overhaul a franchise that has never made the Super Bowl and last won an NFL title in 1964. The team spent $5 million refurbishing its headquarters and training facility in Berea, Ohio, this summer, and Haslam feels this stadium overhaul is a logical next step.

“It’s all part of creating a world-class organization,”

we couldn’t do as much with our passing game,” said starting offensive lineman on both teams, Jack Mewhort. “But this year it’s a lot different.

There’s not eight or nine guys in the box because this offseason Braxton and the receivers and the running backs and all the skill guys got together and decided they were going to be really good this year. They’ve done that so far.”

As a sophomore, quarterback Braxton Miller was also the team’s best rusher. So picking up first downs — not scoring quickly — was a priority.

Through nine games, he

was completing 56.6 percent of his passes for 12 touchdowns with six interceptions.

This year, despite missing almost three full games with a sprained knee ligament, he is completing 72.5 percent of his passes for 15 touchdowns with three interceptions.

“I feel that we execute a lot better than we did last year,” wide receiver Evan Spencer said. “Once we get rolling, we’re rolling. There’s not many people who can stop us.”

Consider also that Carlos Hyde has shown vast improvement at running back this year. In 2012 at this juncture he had 600 yards in seven games; so far this season he has 701 in six games.

Meyer also said the Buckeyes are better on special teams. But stopped short of saying his latest defense was ahead of last year’s.

Most people attribute that edge not to personnel or depth or star players, but rather to strong leaders on the defensive unit.

“Last year’s team we had the heart and the leadership.

I don’t know if we necessarily were as talented, but we had the will to win,” said linebacker Joshua Perry, a backup a year ago and a starter now.

“This team has the same will to win but we’ve got a little bit more juice behind us, too, talent-wise. Our defense is a little quicker and on offense we’ve got some tools now.”

The statistics don’t point to a stronger defense a year ago.

The present defense still has a ways to go, particularly without nine starters from last year’s unit.

Former Raider Christensen dies

Page 11

A perfect season

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — With his penchant for poetry, Todd Christensen never fit the Raiders’ renegade mold. But that didn’t keep him from becoming one of the team’s best all-time tight ends.

A five-time Pro Bowl selection and two-time Super Bowl winner, Christensen died from complications during liver transplant surgery Wednesday. He was 57.

C h r i s t e n s e n’s son, To b y Christensen, said his father died at Intermountain Medical Center near his home in Alpine, Utah. He had been waiting Christensen for 10 months for a donor liver.

After a stellar career at running back for BYU from 1974-77, Christensen was a secondround pick for the Dallas Cowboys in the 1978 NFL draft.

He was waived by the Cowboys after breaking his foot in training camp but landed the next year with the Raiders, where he played for 10 seasons at tight end and won Super Bowls in 1981 and 1984.

In 1983, he had 92 catches, setting the NFL record at the time for tight ends. He finished the season with 1,247 yards receiving and 12 touchdowns.

Grambling faces penalties

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) — The Southwestern Athletic Conference announced on Wednesday that Grambling will face financial penalties after forfeiting its road game against Jackson State on Oct. 19.

The SWAC did not announce exact figures in its release, but said the fine would be issued in accordance to the league’s bylaws. Grambling spokesman Will Sutton has said previously that amount is $20,000.

Grambling must also play road games at Jackson State the next three seasons.

Grambling’s players staged a boycott of the Jackson State game because of issues with Grambling’s leaders, including the school’s rundown facilities, long bus trips to road games and personnel decisions.

The SWAC also said Grambling will pay Jackson State an undisclosed amount from its “future distribution amounts” to help Jackson State recoup lost money from the Oct. 19 cancellation.

Coach accused of vandalism

JASPER, Tenn. (AP) — Authorities say a teacher and assistant football coach at Marion County High School has been accused of vandalizing the team’s field house.

The Chattanooga Times Free Press reports Michael Schmitt was arrested Wednesday on a charge of vandalism of $1,000 to $10,000. The Associated Press could not determine whether he has a scheduled court date or a lawyer.

Administrators arrived to the Marion County field house defaced before its District 6-A championship game against cross-town rival South Pittsburg, the eventual winner. Officials say vulgarities were painted on side doors and the backside of the field house in South Pittsburg’s colors, orange and black.

Officials estimated the damage totaled several thousand dollars.

Officers involved in the arrest believe the vandalism was an attempt to inspire the Marion County team.

The SC Alliance Extreme Green U11 girls soccer team recently completed a perfect 8-0 season, also winning tournament championships in Springfield and Dublin. In the front row, left to right, are Jenna Spade, Khia McMillen, Jadah McMillen, Makayla Dillinger, Kylee Ginter and Anna Cianciolo. In the back are (l-r) Whitney Evans, Lindsey Magoteaux, Makayla Hurey, Payton Martin and Katie Atwood. The coaches are Jeff Hurey and Megan Martin, and the trainer is Cayleb Paulino.

5K in Minster on Thanksgiving MINSTER — The Harmony For Ohio Foundation annual Turkey Trot 5K will be held at Minster High School on Thanksgiving Day, with the race starting at 9 a.m.

The race is part of a year-long program that encourages Grand Lake-area residents to hike, bike, walk and trot all in the name of personal fitness.

The is a cost for the event and T-shirts are available with pre-registration.

Registration forms can be obtained at www.speedy-feet.com.

All proceeds will go to the non-profit Harmon for Ohio Foundation, which benefits the Ronald McDonald House and other communitybased charities.

Scherzer, Kershaw win Cy Youngs him along with all their other stars such as Miguel Cabrera, Prince Fielder and Justin Verlander. That’s prompted talk they might trade Scherzer before opening day.

“I love it here in Detroit,” Scherzer said on a conference call. “Who wouldn’t want to be a part of this?”

“The business side will take care of itself,” he said.

“It really depends on what Detroit wants to do.”

Scherzer and agent Scott Boras said they’re open to talking to the Tigers about an extension.

Scherzer lost only three times this season and was the lone 20-game winner in baseball. He ranked second in the majors with 240 strikeouts and was fifth in the AL with a 2.90 ERA. The 29-year-old righty smiled and raised both arms Wednesday when the Cy Young results were announced.

“It’s unbelievable. It just vindicates everything I’ve done,” Scherzer said, acknowledging all the run support he received from Detroit’s powerful lineup probably helped his candidacy.

“I’ve been working so hard all these years to get better and better,” he added.

“I think I took a big step forward in 2013.”

Yu Darvish of the Texas Rangers was second, marking the highest finish by a Japanese-born pitcher in Cy Young voting. Hisashi Iwakuma of the Seattle Mariners came in third.

“It was an honor to be a finalist for the American League Cy Young Award,” Darvish said in a statement.

“Both Max Scherzer and Hisashi Iwakuma had tremendous seasons. Max is a very deserving winner.”

Texas is the only AL team that’s never won a Cy Young Award.

County players were left out of the story about soccer players selected to the Miami Valley Scholastic Soccer Coaches Association Division III AllDistrict North team in Wednesday’s paper.

Anna’s Holly Boyd, a sophomore defender, was named to the second team, as was Natalie Ambos of Botkins, a sophomore midfielder.

Sierra Butcher of Botkins, a sophomore midfielder, was named

to the third team, as was teammate Keirstyn Rogers, a sophomore goalkeeper.

In D-III boys, four Botkins players were named to the All-District West team.

Christian Hacker, a junior goalkeeper, was named to the second team, and Eric Egbert, a junior midfielder; Caleb Oren, a junior defender; and Jacob Barnett, a sophomore forward, were named to the third team.

NEW YORK (AP) — Max Scherzer did most everything on the mound this season — led the majors in wins, started the All-Star game, helped put his team in the playoffs.

Now, the newly minted AL Cy Young Award winner said he will “wait and see” whether he’s returning to the Detroit Tigers next year.

Scherzer went 21-3 and was an easy pick Wednesday as the American League’s top pitcher, drawing 28 of 30 first-place votes from members of the Baseball Writers’ Association of America.

Clayton Kershaw of the Los Angeles Dodgers won the NL Cy Young Award for the second time in three seasons, coming within one vote of a unanimous selection.

Scherzer — like Kershaw — can become a free agent after the 2014 season, and the Tigers are trying to figure out if they can afford

Sidney Daily News, Thursday, November 14, 2013

NFL attendance issues not just for also-rans PITTSBURGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Mike Tomlin isn't much on public gratitude. Still, the perpetually focused Pittsburgh Steelers coach went out of his way to thank the fans who showed up at Heinz Field to watch his team drum the Buffalo Bills 23-10 on Sunday for its third win of the season.

"It's not something we take for granted," Tomlin said.

Good idea.

Welcome to life in the new NFL, where â&#x20AC;&#x153;selloutsâ&#x20AC;? are the norm but full houses are becoming the exception, and not just in places like woeful Jacksonville.

Blame it on mediocre teams. Blame it on rising ticket prices. Blame in on the comfort of your couch, where it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t cost hundreds of dollars to sit, and the cold beer in your fridge, the one that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t cost $8 a bottle.

The Steelers (3-6), who have six Vince Lombardi Trophies in the lobby at team headquarters, are in danger of posting their lowest average attendance since 2003, when they limped to a 6-10 record and missed the playoffs.

Mark Zaleski|AP

In this file photo, Jacksonville Jaguars defensive end Jeremy Mincey (94) fires up his teammates before al game against Tennessee in Nashville, Tenn. As TV ratings stay strong, the number of people showing up for games is dwindling.

The franchise is on a similar trajectory this fall in a place that can be tough â&#x20AC;&#x201D; by NFL standards â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to completely fill even when times are good. Pittsburgh is averaging 61,465 through four home dates, the lowest over the same span since Heinz Field opened in 2001.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a trend hitting the league regardless of market

size or on-field success. In 2008, only five teams played to stadiums less than 95 percent full. That number has doubled this season at a time when TV ratings are at their best since 2006.

The Washington Redskins have one of the NFLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rising stars in quarterback Robert Griffin III and are playing to just 88.9 percent capacity this

season. The surprising New York Jets have the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest metropolitan area to pull from and only 93.3 of those with tickets are showing up.

It can lead, in some instances, to the unnerving realization that players can't simply rely on the juice â&#x20AC;&#x201D; or the vitriol â&#x20AC;&#x201D; from the crowd to get amped up.

"When we play on the road, certain places are just known for being quiet," Cincinnati left tackle Andrew Whitworth said. "It's almost like in the huddle, you have to keep reminding yourself to keep your energy up and realize that some of these places are really quiet and you have to create your own energy a little bit."

Oakland and Jacksonville swath their stadiums in massive drapes that cover entire sections. It reduces capacity but hasn't exactly increased demand. While the atmosphere has improved with the Raiders, only 81.4 percent of ticket holders make it to their seats. More than 10 percent of those with tickets in Jacksonville don't bother to get an eyeful of one of the league's

worst teams.

Arizona quarterback Carson Palmer is prepping the Cardinals for an "interesting atmosphere" when they visit the Jaguars (1-8) on Sunday, where tickets are going for as low as $8 on StubHub. To be honest, he's going to miss the opportunity to quiet a hostile environment, mostly because there likely won't be one.

"You can't worry about any of those outside distractions," Palmer said. "You've just got to focus on doing your job each and every play, and do what it takes to win the game, regardless of how many people are watching or who is in the stands."

Commissioner Roger Goodell continues to stress the ingame fan experience remains important to the league. It also remains important to the bottom lines of owners, if only to fatten their wallets.

When Personal Seat Licensing came into vogue, it created a new revenue stream by making fans plunk down thousands just for the right to buy tickets. It priced some longtime season ticket holders out of the market.

Expanded Medicaid enrollment Dec. 9 Ann Sanner Associated Press

COLUMBUS (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Lowincome Ohioans who are newly eligible for Medicaid under an expansion of the program can sign up for health coverage beginning Dec. 9, state officials said Wednesday.

Officials estimate roughly 366,000 Ohioans may qualify for the expanded coverage, including those who tried to enroll earlier but discovered they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t qualify under

current Medicaid rules.

Gov. John Kasichâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s administration moved forward last month to extend the federal-state health program for the poor and disabled. But it was unclear until now when people could enroll. Coverage begins Jan. 1.

The federal health care law expanded Medicaid to those with incomes up to 138 percent of the federal poverty level â&#x20AC;&#x201D; $15,856 for an individual or $32,499 for a family of four. Its main beneficiaries are expected to be low-income adults with no children living at home.

Some residents previously tried to get health insurance and discovered they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t qualify under current Medicaid rules and didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t earn what would qualify them for tax subsidies to purchase insurance in the new insurance marketplace.

That led groups such as the Ohio Association of Foodbanks to collect the names and numbers of prospective enrollees, so they could be reminded to apply when the state was ready to start signing people up.

So far, more than 1,250 people

are on a call-back list assembled by the food bank group and its partners, said Lisa Hamler-Fugitt, executive director of the association. Her organization is among a consortium of groups that is walking people through the new marketplaces, also known as exchanges.

At the county offices where many low-income residents apply for food stamps, cash assistance and other social services, workers are encouraging those who could be newly eligible under Medicaid expansion to reapply to the program, said Joel

Potts, executive director of the Ohio Job and Family Services county directorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; association. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People are in a strange limbo,â&#x20AC;?

Potts said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Until we get it up and running, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing we can do.â&#x20AC;?

He said the offices are bracing for the newly eligible to sign up in waves. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Healthy people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t rush to sign up for health care,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I do think we will see a significant uptake, but I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to see beating the doors down.â&#x20AC;?

Jury has verdict in $100M charity fraud trial Thomas J. Sheeran Associated Press

CLEVELAND (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A jury reached a verdict in the case against the alleged mastermind of a $100 million, cross-country Navy veterans charity fraud and will announce its decision Thursday morning.

Jurors reached their decision late Wednesday afternoon after about

three hours of deliberation, but the judge delayed the announcement of the verdict because of trouble getting everyone back into court after-hours.

The defendant identifies himself as 67-year-old Bobby Thompson, but prosecutors say he is John Donald Cody, a 66-yearold Harvard-trained attorney.

The defendant, who showed up to court

Wednesday again looking disheveled, didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t testify as planned. His attorney didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t call any witnesses and took the unusual step of skipping a closing statement to jurors to argue against conviction.

The attorney, Joseph Patituce, said the decision to waive a closing argument was meant to avoid rehashing the case and instead turn it over to the jury.

Brad Tammaro, an assistant Ohio attorney general, told jurors in a nearly twohour closing argument that the defendant had never been Bobby Thompson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This defendant is John Donald Cody,â&#x20AC;? who was drummed out of the Army and later claimed he was a Navy officer, said Tammaro. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He will always be John Donald Cody.â&#x20AC;?

The stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s evidence proved the charges, including identity fraud, Tammaro said.

While on the run as a fugitive, â&#x20AC;&#x153;He changed his appearance and he changed his name,â&#x20AC;? Tammaro said.

The defendant changed his mind about testifying, because he was concerned about his physical and mental well-being if he faced an aggressive cross-examination, according to Patituce.

He appeared disheveled in court in the trialâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s final days, and Patituce said his client had bloodied himself last week banging his head on a courtroom holding cell, leaving a forehead mark.

OSU planned training for Gee

COLUMBUS (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Ohio State University began planning cultural sensitivity training for then-president Gordon Gee after he made comments jabbing Roman Catholics and Southeastern Conference schools last December, according to email records released Wednesday by the university.

The emails show that the university considered several proposals last spring for sensitivity and media training for Gee, whose off-the-cuff

COLUMBUS (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Ohioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s governor delayed a condemned child killerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s execution on Wednesday to study the feasibility of accommodating the manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s request to donate his organs.

Gov. John Kasichâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision came less than 24 hours before Ronald Phillips was scheduled to die for the rape and death of his girlfriendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 3-year-old daughter in Akron in 1993. His lethal injection Thursday was to be the first time a new twodrug combination was tried in the U.S.

In stopping the execution, Kasich said he wanted to allow time to study the request the 40-year-old death row inmate made Monday to see if a donation could help someone else. Phillipsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; execution was reset to July 2.

Kasich said that while Phillipsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; crime was heinous, his willingness to donate organs and tissue could save another life and the state should try to accommodate a donation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I realize this is a bit of uncharted territory for Ohio, but if another life can be saved by his willingness to donate his organs and tissues then we should allow

lenge his thinking, such as visiting a new place or reading a certain book. An organizational psychologist suggested a two-and-a-half day offsite visit with Gee, then regular coaching calls and consulting visits for several months. Two firms with offices in Washington proposed media training at costs of up to $10,000.

Gee retired before any of sessions occurred, Ohio State spokeswoman Gayle Saunders said in a statement.

for that to happen,â&#x20AC;? Kasich said in a statement.

Some 3,500 people in Ohio and more than 120,000 nationally are currently awaiting organ donations, said Marily Pongonis, a spokeswoman for the Lifeline of Ohio organ donation program.

Ohioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s prison medical policy accommodates organ donations, but prison officials said in rejecting Phillipsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; request Tuesday that he had not made it soon enough for officials to work out the logistics and security concerns.

They said the last-minute request was unprecedented for Ohio.

remarks repeatedly got him into trouble. The proposals included having Gee talk with trainers to develop a deeper respect for diversity and learn techniques for discussing challenging topics and avoiding pitfalls.

A Washington-based public relations firm proposed a handful of off-campus training sessions at a location unfamiliar to Gee, such as a Buddhist temple or a womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s center, followed by assignments meant to chal-

Bobby Thompson, who authorities have identified as Harvardtrained attorney John Donald Cody, listens during closing statements by the prosecution Wednesday in Cleveland. Thompson is charged with looting the United States Navy Veterans Association, a charity he ran from Tampa, Fla. The charity fraudulently registered with the state of Ohio in 2003 and made annual renewals, the prosecutor said. The charges include racketeering, money laundering, theft and identity theft.

TOLEDO (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Reducing pollution that feeds harmful algae in western Lake Erie needs the help of Ohioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s neighbors, according to a state task force looking at ways to solve the growing problem.

A report released Wednesday by the Ohio Phosphorus Task Force recommends a 40 percent reduction in all forms of phosphorus that goes into northwest Ohioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rivers and streams that flow into Lake Erie.

Phosphorus from farm fertilizer runoff and sewage treatment plants feed the algae that leave behind toxins that can kill animals and foul drinking water. Ohio is seeking voluntary help from farmers and sewage plant opera-

tors and wants the recommendations in its report to be considered in Indiana and Michigan because rivers and streams in those states drain into the lake too. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s extremely critical,â&#x20AC;? said Jeffrey Reutter, director of the Ohio Sea Grant Program, which studies water quality issues.

Algae blooms during warm weather months in recent years have turned the lakeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s water into a pea soup color. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a threat to the lakeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tourism and fishing industries and toxins produced by the algae have contributed to oxygen-deprived dead zones where fish canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t survive.

Ohio Department of Agriculture Director David Daniels said solving the algae problem is a multi-state, multi-national issue.
