Mischel Schonberg, a spokesperson for the company whose home offices are in Mason, said that the relocation will be completed during the first quarter of this year. Clopay manufactures garage and home entry doors at plants in Troy and Russia locally. The operation in
Auburn constructed wooden garage doors, and that work will be moved to Russia. “We are expected to begin operations of the wood doors in Russia by the end of February,” Schonberg said. Officials in Russia are pleased about Clopay’s upcoming expansion of workforce.
“We’re very happy with Clopay’s decision on that matter,” said Mayor Terry Daugherty Tuesday. “I understand they’re bringing three or four managers from Washington to Russia and adding another 30 or 40 jobs.” Schonberg could not conSee JOBS/Page 2

RACHEL DOSECK, 21, of Botkins, is on the waiting list for a heart transplant. She had her first heart transplant when she was 11.
— Rachel BOTKINS Doseck, 21, of Botkins, needs a new heart. Her body is rejecting the one she has. The Wright State University student is no stranger to heart transplants. She underwent her first one more than 10 years ago, in June 2002. She was 11 at the time. She had contracted a virus that damaged the heart she’d been born with. When she turned 16, Doseck became an avid volunteer for Life Connection of Ohio, an organization with an office in Dayton that advocates for organ donation. Doseck became a public speaker, urging audiences at her schools and in other venues to complete the forms that would permit their organs to be shared with others. She

School security meeting Former planned for Thursday resident’s Parents and the public will have a chance to address their concerns and discuss what it will take to protect Sidney City Schools students and will hear about ideas generated by school and law enforcement officials during a meeting Thursday. Sidney City Schools Superintendent John Scheu said the purpose of the meeting is to share with parents what options the school security committee has discussed and solicit input. Scheu noted there will be
an opportunity for public response. The school security committee includes Sidney Police Chief Kevin Gessler, Shelby County Sheriff John Lenhart, Sidney City Schools building principal, Board of Education members and Scheu. That committee met recently to discuss how to protect students in the wake of the Sandy Hook shootings in Connecticut in which 20 students and six teachers were killed in a shooting rampage by a 20-year-old man. Following
the incident, Scheu decided to form the committee to consider ways to protect local students. Scheu noted that options are “centered around how to improve security, both inside and outside the schools, how to most effectively deal with an active shooter once inside the building and what are the most cost effective ways to implement these various options.” After input from Thursday’s meeting, the school security See SCHOOL/Page 2

committee will reconvene and further discuss the issue, with the ultimate goal of eventually recommending to the school board what security measures to put in place for the six school buildings. The meeting will be held in the basement of the Board of Education building, 750 S. Fourth Ave., at 7 p.m. Scheu said that due to the number of local residents that may want to attend, school officials would like anyone interested in attending to call the board office at 497-2200 so they may determine how many will be present. If numbers dictate, the meeting will be moved to Sidney Middle School, 980 Fair Road, in the school’s auditoria. A decision on the location will reportedly be made Wednesday. Prior to the meeting, the Board of Education will hold an executive session at 6 p.m. to consider the employment of an employee/official of the school district.
Donate Life program planned Wilson Memorial Hospital is partnering with the Ohio Hospital Association Donate Life Partnership to help save lives by educating the community about the importance of organ, eye and tissue donation and increasing the number of registered donors. Tuesday, from 11:30 a.m. to 6 p.m., Community the Blood Center will host a blood drive at Wilson Memorial Hospital. In conjunction, the hospital will have a Donate Life Ohio booth and share information with the community about the importance of organ, eye and tissue donation. Registration opportunities will be available. “The lack of registered donors in America results in a tragic loss of life every day, but there is a known solution,” said Tom Boecker, hospital president and CEO. “By registering as a donor, you have the unique opportunity to give hope to the 3,400 Ohioans awaiting translife-saving plants. It’s time for our community to understand the donation process, debunk the myths and make educated decisions to provide a second chance for thousands of people and their families each year.”

Foundation, whose mission is to help families caring for children with life-threatening illnesses. The victim of a recent attack of the flu, she is hospitalized at the Cleveland Clinic awaiting her second transplant. “(The flu) seems to have been the tipping point for her heart to go into rejection,” said registered nurse Cathi Arends, director of community relations at Life Connection of Ohio. Statistics concerning average lifespans of transplant recipients are complicated to compile. Many factors affect whether any given recipient’s body will accept or reject an organ in the short term or over longer periods of time. “The greatest change in post-transplant survival is within the first year of transplantation,” said Joel Newman, a spokesman for the United Network of Organ Sharing in Richmond, Va. “Among current heart recipients who survive the first year, half will continue to survive about 13 years or longer. Some heart recipients have survived more than 30 years already; for people transplanted in more recent years, the chance for long-term survival has steadily grown.” Doseck has a listed status of 1A, which puts her at the top of the list when a compatible heart becomes available. She celebrated her 21st birthday Sunday in the intensive care unit of the clinic. ”As I look at Rachel in her bed in the ICU, I am reminded of the importance of organizations and volunteers who work to bring donation information to the community,” said her mother, Theresa Doseck, of Botkins. “As a family, we want to say thank you to the community. We are so grateful for the outpouring of support and prayers and the overwhelming amount of

Sidney Daily News,Wednesday, January 16, 2013
Private swimming pool code amendments proposed During Sidney City Council’s first legislative meeting of the new year Monday night, Community Services Director Barbara Dulworth reviewed proposed amendments to the city’s private swimming pool code. The discussed amendments are based on recommendations of the National Inspection Corp. and National Electric Code advisory regulations, Dulworth said. They are being proposed in response to multiple concerns expressed by owners of seasonal pools during several council meetings last year. Dulworth said the proposed amendments, if adopted, will result in regulations that are less confusing and allow for flexibility in extraordinary circumstances. They basically adopt the barrier (fence) requirements from the Residential Code of Ohio and move requirements for location, coverage and barriers from the city’s Building code to its Zoning code. Regulations for permanent swimming pools, both above and in ground, in summary: • Permit required; location and setback requirements unchanged, but moved to the zon-
ing code; • Barrier requirements moved to zoning code and reduced to a height of 48 inches; • NEC 2011 compliance required by the state of Ohio and the city’s license as a residential building office. Storable swimming pools would require: • Permit if an electric motor is used for filtration or recirculation; • Location requirement established in zoning code; no barrier requirements; • NEC 2011 compliance required by the state of Ohio and city’s residential building office; • Property owner acknowledgement if the residence is a rental; and the pool must be stored from Oct. 15 to April 15; • (If not removed the pool meets the definition of an accessory structure in the Zoning code and must eet regulations for location and setback for an accessory structure). Council, by consensus, directed Dulworth to prepare zoning code amendments for a planning commission public hearing and recommendation. Local residents Zelda Hockaday and Jeff Wagner, observers at Monday’s meeting, expressed appreciation to Dulworth and council for working to resolve pool owners’ zoning
Ohio Senate Dems eye guns, economy COLUMBUS (AP) — Bills to curb gun violence, improve ballot access, support stable families and address how public schools are funded are among priorities of state Senate Democrats headed into the new session. Senate Democratic Leader Eric Kearney, of Cincinnati, said at a Tuesday unveiling that the fact his 10 members are the first legislative caucus to announce their policy priorities shows they’re “ready to work” and put aside partisan differences. “It’s always best to work with people when you can and only fight with people when you have to,” said Kearney’s
No. 2, Sen. Joe Schiavoni. Republican Senate President Keith Faber said senators of both parties want to improve Ohio’s economy and will work together on that. “I’m sure we’ll find areas of disagreement along the way, but I’m committed to making sure that all points of view are considered in the development of our policy initiatives,” Faber said in a statement. Kearney said Democrats are working to craft a proposal to reduce gun-related tragedies, a particular focus following last month’s Newtown, Conn., elementary school shooting.

Other resolutions, also adopted Monday, reappoint Patricia Miller to the Shelby County Regional Planning Commission and authorize Council Clerk Joyce Goubeaux to represent council in Public Records and Sunshine Law training required by Ohio’s Revised Code. Jeffrey Amick, law director, discussing council rules, said a current review indicates no additional amendments are needed. Human Resources Manager Vickie Allen discussed a pay classification plan to reclassify the city surveyor, pay grade ($53,289 to $66,435), to the position of engineering manager, pay grade ($53,289 to $69,284). Allen will prepare the necessary legislation for introduction to council at the Jan. 28 meeting. Prior to Monday night’s legislative session, Ginger Adams, Finance officer, told council Sidney is one of 20 Miami Valley Risk Management Association cities presented an award for 100 percent compliance with standards. Monday night’s meeting included an executive session to discuss personnel appointments. No action was taken prior to adjournment.

CLARIFICATION A former Shelby County Sheriff ’s Office dispatcher was sentenced in July in Shelby County Common Pleas Court on an amended charge of attempted unauthorized use of property, a first degree misdemeanor.

code concerns. Mayor Mike Barhorst called the proposed amendments, “a tremendous move forward” and urged Dulworth to proceed with legislation. During its legislative session, council adopted an ordinance rezoning the eastern portion of a property at 1604 Wapakoneta Avenue from Single Family residence to Community Business district. The property is currently used for motor vehicle sales by David Jones. Introduced Monday night for review and further discussion at council’s Jan.28 meeting was an ordinance removing the pedestrian crosswalk on North Street in front of Julia Lamb Sports Field and Park. The crosswalk was created in 1997 to allow students to access the former school building, since removed from the site. Staff told council pedestrian traffic in the area is no longer significant enough to justify a mid-block crossing. Also introduced was an ordinance assessing property owners for the construction and repair of sidewalks during 2012 in the city. The assessment totals $49,990. A second reading is scheduled Jan. 28. Council adopted a resolution authorizing the city manager to seek and accept bids for items in-

NATION/WORLD TODAY IN HISTORY BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Today is Wednesday, Jan. 16, the 16th day of 2013. There are 349 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Jan. 16, 2003, the space shuttle Columbia blasted off under extremely tight security for what turned out to be its last flight; on board was Israel’s first astronaut, Ilan Ramon. (The mission ended in tragedy on Feb. 1, when the shuttle broke up during its return descent, killing all seven crew members.) On this date: • In 1547, Ivan IV of Russia (popularly known as “Ivan the Terrible”) was crowned Czar. • In 1883, the U.S. Civil Service Commission was established. • In 1912, a day before reaching the South Pole, British explorer Robert Scott and his expedition found evidence that Roald Amundsen of Norway and his team had gotten there ahead of them. • In 1920, Prohibition began in the United States as the 18th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution took effect, one year to the day after its ratification. (It was later repealed by the 21st Amendment.) • In 1935, fugitive gangster Fred Barker and his mother, Kate “Ma” Barker, were killed in a shootout with the FBI at Lake Weir, Fla. • In 1942, actress Carole Lombard, 33, her mother Elizabeth and 20 other people were killed when their plane crashed near Las Vegas, Nev., while en route to California from a warbond promotion tour. • In 1944, Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower took command of the Allied Expeditionary Forces in London. • In 1969, two manned Soviet Soyuz spaceships became the first vehicles to dock in space and transfer personnel. • In 1978, NASA named 35 candidates to fly on the space shuttle, including Sally K. Ride, who became America’s first woman in space, and Guion S. Bluford Jr., who became America’s first black astronaut in space. • In 1987, Hu Yaobang resigned as head of China’s Communist Party, declaring he’d made mistakes in dealing with student turmoil and intellectual challenges to the system. Broadway columnist Earl Wilson died in Yonkers, N.Y., at age 79. • In 1991, the White House announced the start of Operation Desert Storm to drive Iraqi forces out of Kuwait. • In 2007, Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., launched his successful bid for the White House. Ten years ago: AOL Time Warner chief executive Dick Parsons was tapped to be the media conglomerate’s new chairman, succeeding Steve Case.
OUT OF THE BLUE
Professors get sick at faculty party AMSTERDAM (AP) — Was it the fish? An estimated 230 University of Amsterdam professors or their spouses got violently ill last week after the school’s annual faculty party. Spokesman Joost van Tilburg said food poisoning was believed to be the cause. He says the professors’ distress “mostly involved stomach problems.” Some 400 people attended the party. The results of an investigation by health authorities are due Thursday.

House OKs superstorm aid WASHINGTON (AP) — More than 10 weeks after Superstorm Sandy brutalized parts of the heavily populated Northeast, the House approved $50.7 billion in emergency relief for the victims Tuesday night as Republican leaders struggled to close out an episode that exposed painful party divisions inside Congress and out. The vote was 241-180, and officials said the Senate was likely to accept the measure early next week and send it to President Barack Obama for his signature. Democrats supported the aid in large numbers, while majority Republicans opposed it by a lopsided margin. “We are not crying wolf here,” said Rep. Chris Smith, RN.J., one of a group of Northeastern lawmakers from both parties who sought House passage of legislation roughly in
line with what the Obama administration and governors of the affected states have sought. Democrats were more politically pointed as they brushed back Southern conservatives who sought either to reduce the measure or offset part of its cost through spending cuts elsewhere in the budget. “I just plead with my colleagues not to have a double standard,” said Rep. Carolyn Maloney of New York. “Not to vote tornado relief to Alabama, to Louisiana, to Mississippi, Missouri, to — with Ike, Gustav, Katrina, Rita — but when it comes to the Northeast, with the second worst storm in the history of our country, to delay, delay, delay.” One key vote came on an attempt by Rep. Rodney Freylinghuysen to add $33.7 billion to an original allotment of $17 billion in aid. That roll call was 228-192 and Democ-
rats broke 190-2 in favor, while Republicans opposed it overwhelmingly, 190-38. Similarly, on final passage, 192 Democrats joined 49 Republicans in support. Opposed were 179 Republicans and one Democrat. Earlier, conservatives failed in an attempt to offset a part of the bill’s cost with across-theboard federal budget cuts. The vote was 258-162. Rep. Mark Mulvaney, R-S.C., arguing for the reduction, said he wasn’t trying to torpedo the aid package, only to pay for it. “Are there no savings, are there no reductions we can put in place this year so these folks can get their money?” he asked plaintively. Critics said the proposed cuts would crimp Pentagon spending as well as domestic accounts and said the aid should be approved without reductions elsewhere. “There are
times when a disaster simply goes beyond our ability to budget. Hurricane Sandy is one of those times,” said Rep. Hal Rogers of Kentucky, chairman of the House Appropriations Committee. Sandy roared through several states in late October and has been blamed for 140 deaths and billions of dollars in residential and business property damage, much of it in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. It led to power outages and interruptions to public transportation that made life miserable for millions, and the clamor for federal relief began almost immediately. The emerging House measure includes about $16 billion to repair transit systems in New York and New Jersey and a similar amount for housing and other needs in the affected area.

INGRID MICHAELSON, accompanied by children from Newtown, Conn., and Sandy Hook Elementary School, perform “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” on ABC’s “Good Morning America” Tuesday in New York.
‘Somewhere Over the Rainbow’ Newtown shooting survivors record song for charity NEW YORK (AP) — Children who survived last month’s shooting rampage at Connecticut’s Sandy Hook Elementary School have recorded a version of “Over the Rainbow” to raise money for charity. Twenty-one children from Newtown, Conn., performed the song Tuesday with singersongwriter Ingrid Michaelson on ABC’s “Good Morning America.” Most of them are current and former students of the school, where 20 firstgraders and six staff members were killed. They recorded “Over the Rainbow” on Monday at the Fairfield, Conn., home of Chris Frantz and Tina Weymouth, two former members
of the Talking Heads and Tom Tom Club rock bands. Copies went on sale Tuesday on Amazon and iTunes, with proceeds benefiting the United Way of Western Connecticut and the Newtown Youth Academy. Kayla Verga, 10, said she was singing for a friend, 6year-old Jessica Rekos, who was killed in the massacre. “Singing the song makes me feel like she’s with me and she’s beside me, singing along with me,” Kayla told “GMA.” Another girl, 10-year-old Sandy Hook student Jane Shearin, added, “I really want to be kind to the people who have lost their loved ones and help them to recover from their sorrow.”
Gunman Adam Lanza went on a shooting spree with a semiautomatic rifle in the school on Dec. 14 after having killed his mother at their home in Newtown. He fatally shot himself as police arrived at the school. It’s still unclear what motivated the attack. The Sandy Hook children have returned to classes in a neighboring town at a building renamed for their old school. Newtown officials and residents have begun discussing what to do with the school where the shootings occurred. Some parents of children killed in the massacre spoke out Monday, calling for a national dialogue to help prevent similar tragedies.
USDA offering loans to farmers who grow food for locals MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — The U.S. Department of Agriculture has created a new loan program to help small farmers, including growers who want to take advantage of the soaring interest in locally produced food. Agriculture Department Secretary Tom Vilsack told The Associated Press on Monday that new “microloans” of up to $35,000 are designed to help bolster family-run farms as well as minority growers and military veterans seeking to start a farm who might otherwise have trouble qualifying for small loans from banks or other USDA loan programs. The loans can help farmers grow niche or organic crops to sell directly to ethnic and farmers markets, or contribute to community-supported agriculture programs. Vilsack noted direct-to-consumer sales was a fast-growing sector, with a 60 percent increase in farmers
markets in the past three years. The loan also can cover the costs of renting land, seed, equipment and other expenses. The goal is to create more opportunities for entrepreneurship and employment in the farming industry, Vilsack said. “This smaller microloan program really is designed to help a producer that wants to get into the direct-to-consumer sales business or wants to help provide produce to, for example, a farmers market,” Vilsack said. “It will help bolster the local and regional food system movement that is taking place.” Vilsack said the new loan program also helps organic producers and small farmers who had been benefiting from grants and programs under the 2008 farm bill, which has not been extended by Congress. The microloan program also provides a more simplified ap-
plication process in comparison with traditional farm loans. Kay Jensen, an organic farmer who raises broccoli, strawberries and tomatoes in Sun Prairie, Wis., saw two immediate benefits to the microloan program — paperwork would go down from about 30 pages to seven, and it would be easier to borrow a manageable sum. She said some lending programs try to cut costs by only giving out sums of $100,000 or more, and she might consider a microloan for $3,000 to $10,000 to expand her irrigation systems. “A lot times what we need is just small amounts of money, but a lot of times the only funding available is large amounts of money,” she said. “This whole concept of a microloan, where you’re looking at smaller, reasonable amounts of money, this really fits an incredible niche.”
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama is launching the nation’s most sweeping effort to curb gun violence in nearly two decades, urging a reluctant Congress to ban military-style assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition magazines like those used in last month’s massacre of 20 elementary school children in Newtown, Conn. The broad package Obama will announce Wednesday is expected to include more than a dozen steps the president can take on his own through executive action. Those measures will provide a pathway for skirting opposing lawmakers, but they will be limited in scope, and in some cases, focused simply on enforcing existing laws. But Congress would have to approve the bans on assault weapons and ammunition magazines holding more than 10 bullets, along with a requirement for universal background checks on gun buyers. Some gun control advocates worry that opposition from Republicans and conservative Democrats, as well as the National Rifle Association, will be too great to overcome. “We’re not going to get an outright ban,” Rep. Carolyn McCarthy, D-N.Y., said of limits on assault weapons. Still, McCarthy, a leading voice in Congress in favor of gun control, said she would keep pushing for a ban and hoped Obama would as well. White House officials, seeking to avoid setting the president up for failure, have emphasized that no single measure — even an assault weapons ban — would solve a scourge of gun violence across the country. But without such a ban, or other sweeping Congress-approved measures, it’s unclear whether executive actions alone can make any noticeable difference. “It is a simple fact that there are limits to what can be done within existing law,” White House spokesman Jay Carney said Tuesday. “Congress has to act on the kinds of measures we’ve already mentioned because the power to do that is reserved by Congress.” New York’s Assembly on Tuesday easily passed the toughest gun control law in the nation — it’s also the first since the Connecticut school shootings — and Gov. Andrew Cuomo signed it into law less than an hour later. The law includes a tougher assaultweapons ban and provisions to try to keep guns out of the hands of mentally ill people who make threats. Obama will announce his proposals in a midday event at the White House, flanked by children who wrote to him about gun violence following the massacre of 20 students and six adults at Sandy Hook Elementary School.

Ohio’s Safe ID is the name given to the State of Ohio’s new driver’s licenses and state identification cards that are compliant with the federal Real ID Act of 2005, Starkey said, and can be accepted by the federal government for official purposes. There is no age limit for state ID cards. Starkey urged parents to get state ID cards for all of their children no matter what their ages are. President Phil Warnecke called the meeting to order. The invocation was given by Karen Tennery and the group was lead in song by Don Tangeman and Ralph Bornhorst. The Fun & Games activity was led by DiAnne Karas.

Board provides aid The Veterans Service Commission met Jan. 9 and approved providing financial relief for 12 veterans and their beneficiaries in the total amount of $10,076.86. Additionally, it was reported that 21 veterans were assisted between board meetings from Dec 20 to Jan 9 in the amount of $4,337.30. Elections were held with the following results: Dick Snider, representing the Disabled American Veterans, is president; Russ Baker, of the American Legion, is vice president; and Jon Johnson, of the Marine Corps League, is secretary. The commission discussed the 2013 appropriations of $499,832.05 from the .5-mil from Shelby County property tax.
Spring’s the season to sing the blues when it comes to home colors blue into smart citymodern territory. Blue and white is a combination with lots of possibilities. Sara Peterson, HGTV Magazine’s editor in chief, says, “We love soft blue-grays in master bedrooms, with white linens and dark wood furniture. Light blue is really pretty on painted kitchen cabinets with white countertops. In a kid’s room, cobalt blue is fun when paired with painted white furniture and bursts of bright accent colors, like fuchsia or lime green.” RH Baby and Child has a reversible navy and natural braided wool rug, while Restoration Hardware offers Ben Soleimani’s heathered navy pinstripe rug; both would be great bases for other navy touches in a room. See www.rhbabyandchild.com and www.rh.com. Crate & Barrel and CB2 have some peppy peacock-blue pieces in the spring collections. The latter’s got the lowslung Avec sofa, skinny John floor lamp, and the Yolo flat-weave rug in a fresh, fun peacock and white circle print. See www.crateandbarrel.co m. At C&B, there’s the
little Willa wooden chair in perky peacock, and the Kruger patio side table and stool come in a deep ultramarine called Harbor Blue. See www.cb2.com. This spring, Target’s Threshold collection features an array of landscape blues, focusing on one in particular. “As we traveled through Europe and Asia on our trend trips, teal started to become more prominent,” says Julie Guggemos, vice president of product development. Target’s spring collection includes an ikat print shower curtain, a floral door mat and a ceramic lamp in teal. See www.target.com. Indigo, an inky shade often found in dyed textiles, works with a variety of interior styles. It anchors neutrals less harshly than black, and it’s a sophisticated counterpoint to bright colors or pastels. Homegoods has wellpriced, indigo printed upholstered chairs, fabric-covered storage boxes and ikat-patterned towels. See www.homegoods.com. Deep water or blueberries come to mind with Monaco Blue. It pops against many of
the season’s more playful shades, such as nectarine, pea green, violet, poppy red and lemony yellow. Turquoise, which held sway over much of 2012’s color story, stays strong into spring. The color’s pretty, yet carries an edge. Modern dcor looks great in turquoise: Ikea’s Klippan sofa comes in a version that will have you thinking of the tropics. Go with that vibe by pairing it with textural white and cream accessories evoking sandy beaches, nubby shells and palm bark. See www.ikea.com. Safavieh offers the Paris ceramic table lamp in a gentle light blue or the more emphatic navy. An upholstered ottoman in powder or ink would be a chic addition. See www.safaviehhome.com.

Sidney Altrusa International has announced plans for its sixth annual adult spelling bee to be April 18 at Dorothy Love Retirement Community. The registration deadline is March 31 and registration is now open, with space limited to 24 teams. Businesses and organizations may form teams of three adults who compete in an oldfashioned spelling bee. No computer spell check programs or writing of the words are allowed. Teams are given a word and one minute to confer. Then one member of the team spells the word aloud. One team remains at the end of the event. The registration fee of $250, which is tax deductible, will be used to scholarships support awarded at the end of the school year to Shelby County residents. In 2012, seven $1,000 scholarships were awarded. Altrusa was founded nationally in 1917 and locally in 1944, supporting literacy and education. The Altrusa Scholarship Committee annually solicits applications through Shelby County high school guidance counselors. Applicants are evaluated on a number of criteria including academic achievement, community involvement, and financial need. Those who would like to sponsor a team, but cannot find enough spellers, may contact Altrusa to be teamed with one, two, or three spellers. Team sponsors will have their names prominently displayed on a banner at the event and in all advertising. For more information or to register, contact LuAnn Presser at Dorothy Love at 4976542.
Jamie Starkey, a regional representative of the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV), was the guest speaker at the Jan. 9 meeting of the Sidney Kiwanis Club. Starkey works in the Findley office. He told the group that there are more than 8 million licensed drivers and identification cardholders in the state of Ohio. In 2011, more than 2 million driver’s licenses were issued and just fewer than 12 million vehicle registrations were issued. A fact that many people do not know, he said, is that deputy registrars are independent contractors and are selected on a competitive basis. Appointees are typically given a three-year term and then they have to re-apply. License agencies provide driver’s licenses, ID cards, vehicle registrations and other services on behalf of the BMV. Deputy registrars receive service fees of $3.50 for each vehicle, driver’s license and ID card transaction. The local deputy registrar’s office is administered by the Shelby County AAA. Ohio will offer a new standard license plate design, called Ohio Pride, beginning April 15.

PUCO chair tweets doubts about renewable energy COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — The utility regulator who led last week’s vote nixing a major Ohio solar project has used his Twitter account over the past year to steadily criticize solar, wind and renewable energy and to question global warming. The posts are among more than 1,000 tweets and retweets in the past year by Public Utilities Commission of Ohio Chairman Todd Snitchler, a former Republican state lawmaker from Uniontown. Gov. John Kasich appointed the Uniontown Republican as chairman in March 2011. Observers of the commission told The Columbus Dispatch for a story Saturday that past
PUCO chairs weren’t so overtly political. “I would say they were a little more circumspect,” said William Spratley, who was state consumers’ counsel from 1977 to 1993. Snitchler joined a 3-1 vote last week rejecting American Electric Power’s proposal to incorporate power from the Turning Point Solar project into its renewable energy portfolio. The vote ignored the advice of commission staff. As PUCO chairman, Snitchler also leads a panel that considers whether major wind and solar projects are in the public interest. The newspaper reported that Snitchler retweeted a story titled “Elites of West have
cranked up myth of Global Warming” from the Russian newspaper Pravda, calling it “interesting.” He also noted on the social networking site how “clean-energy aid racks up losses” and “the Himalayas and nearby peaks have lost no ice in past 10 years, study shows.” Snitchler further shared the conservative Drudge Report’s “complete list of green energy failures” and conservative political commentator Laura Ingraham’s “windbag & greeniac update,” the newspaper’s review found. He retweeted “electric cars pose environmental threat,” ”after Sandy no one lined up for wind turbines” and that the
“?’green’ religion is taking over from Christian religion.” The Dispatch said no posting was positive toward renewable energy. spokesman PUCO Jason Gilham said all five commission members no doubt have their own political leanings, and Ohio law mandates that the panel include both Democrats and Republicans. Snitchler’s Twitter profile indicates “these tweets are mine and do not reflect the views of the PUCO or anyone else.” The newspaper reports, however, that his page includes notices of PUCO hearings and official news. Gilham said Snitchler has not tweeted on any active cases.

IFN acquires Agency to recognize supportive fiber assets
employers with Freedom Award “With today’s evolving missions of the Reserve Component, as we adapt to the current national security policy, America’s employers continue to provide steadfast support to the more than one million men and women serving in the National Guard and Reserve at home and abroad. The Freedom Award is your opportunity to honor your employer for their critical support,” said James Rebholz, ESGR National Chair. “As a member of the Guard or Reserve who has received outstanding support from your civilian employer, take the time to nominate them for the 2013 Freedom Award.” Any civilian employer
who has not previously received the award is eligible. Service members who have previously nominated their employers are encouraged to do so again. The Department of Defense will recognize nominees, semi-finalists and finalists. The 2013 recipients will be announced in early summer and honored in Washington, D.C. during a ceremony in the fall. Past recipients have met with the President of the United States, Secretary of Defense and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. About ESGR and the Freedom Award: The Freedom Award was instituted in 1996 under the auspices of ESGR to recognize ex-
ceptional support from the employer community. In the years since, 175 employers have been honored with the award. Established as a DoD agency 40 years ago, ESGR develops and maintains employer support for Guard and Reserve service. ESGR advocates relevant initiatives, recognizes outstanding support, increases awareness of applicable laws, and resolves conflict between service members and employers. Paramount to ESGR’s mission is encouraging employment of Guardsmen and Reservists who bring integrity, global perspective and proven leadership to the civilian workforce.
DP&L honored for post-storm efforts
Customers oppose reimbursement request COLUMBUS (AP) — American Electric Power is facing opposition from around the state to the utility’s request to make its Ohio customers pick up a $62 million tab for repairs from last summer’s severe storms. The request filed with the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio late last year is one of the largest ever in the state. Nearly three dozen customers from Columbus, Lima, Newark,
Wooster and elsewhere have asked the PUCO to oppose the request. Tonda Young, of Glenford in southeast Ohio, says she lost hundreds of dollars in frozen and refrigerated food and spent extra money eating out and driving miles to find stores with supplies. AEP spokeswoman Terri Flora says most of the request covers the cost of bringing in outside workers to get power restored as quickly as possible.
aid several utilities as they restored downed wires in wind-damaged communities. The crews worked 16-hour days in poor weather and adverse conditions to help restore power to customers for those utilities. “These are significant and noteworthy accomplishments,” wrote EEI, which recognized DP&L alongside sister utility Indianapolis Power & Light (IPL). “These awards honor DP&L employees for pulling together to make significant accomplishments in very dangerous
and adverse situations,” DPL President and CEO Phil Herrington said. “It was a job well done.” Last week, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie officially echoed those sentiments saying, “I want to thank the 17,000 out-of-state utility workers who came to New Jersey from all over America and joined with 10,000 of our own to get power restored as quickly as possible — so that within nine days of this horrific storm, electric power had been restored to 90 percent of customers.”

DP&L received an Emergency Recovery Award for local storm restoration efforts after the June super derecho brought more than 80 mph winds through the Miami Valley last year. DP&L was also recognized as part of an Emergency Assistance Award given to its parent company, The AES Corp., for helping East Coast utilities recover from Hurricane Sandy in October. EEI is the national association of share-
companies since they were originally deployed in the 1990s. The acquired fiber assets from FSO, when combined with route miles constructed by CNI in 2012, increase the fiber optic route assets owned by CNI and its subsidiary to an excess of 700 miles. “The fiber-optic route acquired from FSO is a very important span in our GigE+ Fiber-Optic Network. CNI depends on the route for delivering its wholesale voice, video and data services to its local communication provider clients throughout western Ohio and southern Michigan,” said Tim Berelsman, CEO of CNI.

The Great Remover! This is quite correct and just to prove its amazing versatility: it will also remove the winter clothes, the spring clothes, and the summer clothes from man, his wife and children, if used in sufficient quantities. Alcohol will also remove furniture from the home, rugs from the floor, food from the table, lining from the stomach, vision from the eyes and judgement from the mind. Alcohol will also remove reputations, good jobs, good friends, happiness from children’s hearts, sanity, freedom, man’s ability to adjust and live with his fellow man...even life itself.

Chester F. Carlson Invents Xerography Have you heard the saying, “Necessity is the mother of invention?” Can you guess what it means? The life story of the determined physicist Chester F. Carlson provides an answer. Carlson was born in Seattle, Washington, in 1906. By age 14, he had to work to support his sick parents. Still, he managed to go to college; and in 1930, he earned a degree from the California Institute of Technology. Carlson soon went to work for an electronics firm in New York state, preparing patent applications for new inventions. Each application had to include multiple copies of the papers explaining how the invention worked. Back then, reproducing documents or drawings involved taking photographs, which was costly, or making copies by hand. Hand-copying was a problem for Carlson; he had arthritis. He needed a machine that made quick, clean copies. In 1934, he decided to invent it. After four long years of experimenting, he made a machine that worked. It used electrostatic energy, light, glass plates and a powder called toner—not liquid ink—to make copies. Carlson’s process was called Xerography, from the Greek word for dry writing. Neither the name nor the machine interested companies such as General Electric and IBM, who thought customers wouldn’t buy it. They said no to Carlson and his machine. Finally, in 1944, the inventor visited the Battelle Memorial Institute in Columbus, Ohio. The scientists there liked his idea and worked to improve it. In 1947, the Haloid Company took over Battelle’s research. Eleven years later, the company sold its first copy machine. In 1961, Haloid changed its name to Xerox Corporation. When Carlson died in 1968, his machine was a success, and he was a millionaire. Today, around the world, people use Xerox machines more than 3 billion times a day at work and at home, all because Chester Carlson needed a solution to his copying problem.

Words to Know: physicist patent arthritis electrostatic energy For Discussion: 1. Based on the article, what would you say is the meaning of the phrase, “Necessity is the mother of invention?” 2. What is the tone of the story, or the author’s point of view? 3. The story calls Chester Carlson determined. Give examples from the story to support this. 4.Why weren’t General Electric and IBM interested in Carlson’s machine? 5. The Battelle Memorial Institute in Columbus has helped make all kinds of inventions better or created new products to solve problems. Where could you find information on some of these?
Newspaper Activity: Look through your newspaper to find examples of people who are trying to overcome problems. What kinds of problems are they working on? Sort the problems by type. Can you predict which problems the people might be able to solve? What are your criteria for both your sort and your predictions? “Ohio: The Inside Story” is produced through a grant from The Ohio Newspapers Foundation, a nonprofit charitable and educational organization affiliated with The Ohio Newspaper Association.

BY FRANCES DRAKE For Thursday, Jan. 17, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) If others ask for your creative input, you will sound wise and knowledgeable. You will let this information flow from you in an orderly, disciplined fashion, like a great teacher. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) This is the perfect day to make longrange plans about future travel, even travel for pleasure. You also can make future plans about publishing, higher education, medicine and the law. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Someone older might give you something today, perhaps because you deserve it or you have earned it. Others might develop a crush on someone older. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Discussions with partners and close friends will be productive today. This is a good day to decide how to deal with shared expenses or the division of labor. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) A work-related romance with your boss or someone older is likely today. Others will work well with co-workers to create something that has a longterm benefit for everyone. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) You have the discipline to practice piano, voice, dance, writing or a particular sport. You will practice again and again in order to improve your skill. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Practical improvements at home are attractive today. You’re pleased! An older family relative likely will endorse your plans as well. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) You can make money from writing or talking today. You also can do wonderful mental work requiring attention to detail, and enjoy doing so. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) If shopping today, you will buy practical items that will last for a long time. It might be nice if they looked pretty, but function definitely comes first. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) You’re happy to put duties and obligations first today, because it seems to be the thing to do. In fact, you will get a strong feeling of reward and gratification by offering your services. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Research behind the scenes will be productive today. You’re happy to plug away at routine work if it appears to be a worthwhile effort. You’ll also put your own needs second to those of others. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) The advice of someone older, especially in a group situation, will prove to be valuable to you today. You’re grateful to listen to whatever this person has to say. YOU BORN TODAY You are powerfully direct and know how to forcefully state your case. You are independent. You have a commanding presence and easily can dominate any situation. You display discipline and self-control, and show concern about your achievements. Yet, you can be playful! You will enjoy your year ahead, which is social, fun-loving and beneficial for relationships.

HENDERSON, Nev. (AP) — The city manager in Henderson, Nev., says he wants to update the city’s logo after it was mistaken for a hamburger. Jacob Snow tells the Las Vegas Review-Journal the logo is too detailed to reprint clearly on small items such as business cards. He also says he doesn’t like the
image’s saguaro cactus, which is not native to the Mojave desert. The circular logo was adopted in 1993 and features a mountain range, a lake, buildings and a golf course through the middle. City spokesman Bud Cranor says the more than 14 different colors on the image make it difficult to replicate.

Scammers will send a check and ask the seller to wire the excess through Western Union (possibly for courier fees). The scammer's check is fake and eventually bounces and the seller loses the wired amount. While banks and Western Union branches are trained at spotting fake checks, these types of scams are growing increasingly sophisticated and fake checks often aren't caught for weeks. Funds wired through Western Union or MoneyGram are irretrievable and virtually untraceable.

QUOTE OF THE DAY “I don’t know what my future holds, but I know who holds my future. And, in that, there is a lot of peace and a lot of comfort” — Tim Tebow, a devout Christian, on his football career

Trojans down Jets 79-71 Take over sole possession of 2nd place in County BY MATT ZIRCHER BOTKINS — In a game that featured 21 three-pointers, Botkins took control with a 23-point second quarter and outscored Fairlawn 30-28 in the final period to record a 7971 win over the Jets in County boys basketball action here Tuesday night. Botkins improves to 10-3 overall and 4-2 in the league while Fairlawn falls for the fourth time in the last five games, three of those in County play, and is now 9-4 and 4-3. The Jets jumped out to a 10-4 lead midway through the opening period before Botkins went on a 13-5 run, eight of those coming from Heath Geyer, to go up 17-15 at the end of the quarter. The lead was just five before the Trojans reeled off nine straight points, seven by Josh Schwartz, to make it 3117 with 3:19 remaining in the second stanza. The margin later grew to 18 before Fairlawn scored the final five points, including a buzzerbeating Gillem three, in cutting the deficit to 40-27 at the break. Botkins hit 14 of 24 shots for 58 percent in the first half, including five of nine from three-point range, while Fairlawn shot just 33 percent despite going five of 11 from behind the arc. A Trey Everett layup with four minutes to play in the third drew the Jets to within seven at 44-37 and the margin was just 49-43 heading into the final period as the senior guard connected for Fairlawn’s second buzzer-beating three in as many quarters. The Jets, though, would get no closer as Botkins scored the first four points of the fourth quarter and pushed the advantage back up to 15 on three occasions before Fairlawn scored nine of the game’s final 11 points. “We wanted to hold Fairlawn to 50 points and although that didn’t happen, we did a good job of containing Everett and controlling their role players,” said Botkins coach Brett Meyer. “Gillem just had a fabulous game and he was able to counter everything we tried to do against him.” “We just didn’t do much against their zone tonight,” said Fairlawn coach Justin Tidwell. “They beat us on the dribble drive on offense and they hit the shots when they needed to.” The Trojans shot 54 percent overall and were nine of 15 from three while Fairlawn shot 43 percent and was 12 of 23 from three. Botkins was also 20 of 27 at the foul line compared to 15 of 23 for the Jets. Botkins had just six players score on the night, but all six had seven or more points as Schwartz led the way with a double-double effort of 24

TV confession not enough for officials JIM LITKE AP Sports Writers
‘Thoughtful’ Asked whether the disgraced cyclist appeared genuinely contrite after a decade of fierce denials, Winfrey replied, “I felt that he was thoughtful, I thought that he was serious, I thought that he certainly had prepared for this moment. I would say that he met the moment.” She was promoting what has become a twopart special, Thursday and Friday, on her OWN network. Around the same time, World Anti-Doping Agency officials issued a statement saying nothing short of “a full confession under oath” would cause them to reconsider Armstrong’s lifetime ban from sanctioned events. The International Cycling Union also urged Armstrong to tell his story to an independent commission it has set up to examine claims that the sport’s governing body hid suspicious samples from the cyclist, accepted financial donations from him and helped him avoid detection in doping tests. The ban was only one of several penalties

His streak of 67 straight starts is the longest on the team.

CYCLIST LANCE Armstrong listens to a question from Oprah Winfrey during taping for the show “Oprah and Lance Armstrong: The Worldwide Exclusive” in Austin, Texas. The two-part episode of “Oprah’s Next Chapter” will air nationally Thursday and Friday. handed to Armstrong after a scathing, 1,000page report by USADA last year. The cyclist was also stripped of his seven Tour de France titles, lost nearly all of his endorsements and was forced to cut ties with the Livestrong cancer charity he founded in 1997.
Mastermind The report portrayed Armstrong as the mastermind of a long-running scheme that employed steroids, blood boosters such as EPO, and a range of other performance-enhancers to dominate the tour. It included revealing testimony from 11 former teammates, including Andreu and his wife, Betsy. “A lot of it was news and shocking to me,” Andreu said. “I am sure it’s shocking to the world. There’s been signs leading up to this moment for a long time. For my wife and I, we’ve been attacked and ripped apart by Lance and all of his people, and all his supporters repeatedly for a long time. I just wish they wouldn’t have been so blind and opened up their eyes earlier to all the signs that indicated there was deception there, so that we wouldn’t have had to suffer as much. “And it’s not only us,” he added, “he’s ruined a lot of people lives.”
Left for Hawaii Armstrong was believed to have left for Hawaii. The street outside his Spanish-style villa on Austin’s west side was quiet the day after international TV crews gathered there hoping to catch a glimpse of him. Nearby, members of his legal team mapped out a strategy on how to handle at least two pending lawsuits against Armstrong, and possibly a third. The AP reported earlier Tuesday that Justice Department officials were likely to join a whistleblower lawsuit

Not the only one Landis is hardly the only one seeking money back from Armstrong. During his long reign as cycling champion, Armstrong scolded some critics in public, didn’t hesitate to punish outspoken riders during the race, and waged legal battles against still others in court. The London-based Sunday Times has already filed a lawsuit to recover about $500,000 it paid Armstrong to settle a libel case, and Dallas-based SCA Promotions, which tried to deny him a promised bonus for a Tour de France win, has threatened to bring another lawsuit seeking to recover more than $7.5 million awarded by an arbitration panel. In Australia, the government of the state of South Australia said it will seek the repayment of several million dollars in appearance fees paid to Armstrong for competing in the Tour Down Under in 2009, 2010 and 2011. “We’d be more than happy for Mr. Armstrong to make any repayment of monies to us,” South Australia Premier Jay Weatherill said.

A televised confession by Lance Armstrong isn’t enough. Anti-doping officials want the disgraced cyclist to admit his guilt under oath before considering whether to lift a lifetime ban clouding his future as a competitive athlete. That was seconded by at least one former teammate whom Armstrong pushed aside on his way to the top of the Tour de France podium. “Lance knows everything that happened,” Frankie Andreu told The Associated Press on Tuesday. “He’s the one who knows who did what because he was the ringleader. It’s up to him how much he wants to expose.” Armstrong has been in conversations with U.S. Anti-Doping Agency officials, touching off speculation that he may be willing to cooperate with authorities there and name names. Interviewer Oprah Winfrey didn’t say if the subject was broached during the taping Monday at a downtown Austin hotel. In an appearance on “CBS This Morning,” she declined to give details of what Armstrong told her, but said she was “mesmerized and riveted by some of his answers.”

State program targets cold cases BY MIKE SEFFRIN mseffrin@sdnccg.com
Foundation administers scholarships Scholarship funds administered by the Community Foundation of Shelby County will award 104 scholarships this spring with a total value of more than $98,000. An additional 19 scholarship renewals will also be available to some students who received a scholarship last year. “Forty-five scholarship funds will provide awards to high school seniors or alumni,” said Marian Spicer, Foundation executive director. “Several individuals, families and civic groups are giving students an opportunity to better afford a college education.” Some scholarships are for students graduating from a particular high school and others are county wide. Certain scholarships are for students majoring in a variety of medical, education or fine art fields. The Community Foundation’s application is online. Students may access the application by going to the foundation’s website at www.commfoun.com and finding the ‘Scholarships’ link at the bottom of the home page. Applicants select their should school’s application from the dropdown menu. Those applicants who do not attend a local school, but are eligible for some scholarships should complete the General Comprehensive Application. As in the past, scholarships are arranged by school district, enabling a student to review eligibility requirements for several school-specific and countywide scholarships by using one form. “We highly encourage students to begin compiling their transcript, their FAFSA.gov EFC number and requesting recommendation letters now, even though applications for most high school senior scholarships are not due until March 21,” noted Spicer. “The online application can be started and then completed in future sessions, but incomplete applications will be rejected if not finished by the deadline.” The Community Foundation of Shelby County has been administering charitable funds for 60 years. For information, contact the office at 4977800 or info@commfoun.com.

Who killed a Sidney man at Kiser Lake State Park in 1994 remains a mystery. But Champaign County authorities hope a state program that targets cold cases will help solve the crime. The killing of James “Larry” Jones is one of thousands of cases in Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine’s Unsolved Homicide Initiative. The cases are featured at www.ohioattorneygeneral.gov/OhioUnsolvedHomicides. According to information on the website, Jones, 58, died because of blunt-force trauma on Dec. 31. At 1:52 p.m. that day, the Champaign County Sheriff’s Office got a call indicating that a man was found deceased at Kiser Lake State Park. Jones was found in the park on the southwest side of Kiser Lake, near Ohio 235 North. His vehicle was found parked in the area of the incident. Rick Jordan, chief deputy at the Champaign County Sheriff’s Office, said recently the Jones homicide was added to the attorney general’s website in February 2011. “The addition of the case

to the AG website came as an opportunity to the department after meeting with BCI (Bureau of Criminal Investigation) to discuss re-testing case evidence,” Jordan said. Jordan said the website posting “has generated three comments, two of which were duplicates. Only one of the responses contained information relating to potential suspects. The information generated pertains to subjects who are already persons of interest in the case.” As to the future of the Jones homicide investigation, Jordan said, “The case remains active and is an open investigation. No additional leads have surfaced. We are confident that there are persons in the surrounding community who possess information about this case but are fearful of coming forward.” The June 17, 2006, stabbing death of Melinda (Shaf-
fer) McKinney, 48, is the only unsolved homicide in Sidney. That killing is not listed on the state website. “At this time we do not plan on submitting the McKinney case,” Sidney Police Chief Kevin Gessler said recently. “The case, although not worked on a daily basis, is not in our opinion a cold case.” Gessler said police plan to review the case with Tim Sell, the new Shelby County prosecutor. “There is no change in the status of the case; however, with a new prosecutor being sworn in recently, a presentation will be made to Mr. Sell covering the case from beginning to end,” Gessler said. Gessler said police would consider using the state website in the future. “The website can give a case more visibility and to a much larger audience,” he said. “We will evaluate any current or future cases and make decisions about use of the website based on the information at the time.” Last month, DeWine announced that more than 1,000 cold cases had been uploaded to the Attorney General’s Ohio Unsolved Homicides Database. DeWine asked law en-
forcement agencies to submit their cold case information to the online database in September. At the time, there were only 166 unsolved homicide cases on the site. “We are very happy that so many local law enforcement agencies have submitted their unsolved homicide cases,” DeWine said in a news release. “We have already received tips on some of the cases, and we hope these tips will lead to arrests.” Fifty-four law enforcement agencies have submitted all or some of their cold cases, including: • Cincinnati Police Department: 423 cases. • Dayton Police Department: 376 cases. • Akron Police Department: 72 cases. • Franklin County Sheriff’s Office: 61 cases. The Cleveland Police Department and Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office have committed to submitting their unsolved homicide cases as well, which will bring the database numbers to approximately 2,000. There are an estimated 5,000 unsolved homicides throughout the state. Participation in the database is voluntary.
CAC discontinues weatherization The Tri-County Community Action Commission (CAC) Board of Trustees has discontinued the agency’s weatherization program due to a lack of funds. At its December meeting, the board also approved a request to give each employee a gift card for Christmas. Fiscal Specialist Kelly Predmore said the agency is no longer going to provide the weatherization program “due to lack of funding” and will be selling the weatherization building, located at 1771 County Road 130, Bellefontaine. Board members learned that the 2012-13 Emergency HEAP program began Nov. 1 and there has been $398,354 pledged in assistance to those needing funds to assist with heating, electric and other utility bills. Director Denise Birt noted that “we are very busy, but the staff is well trained and highly efficient in service delivery.” Birt reported that “we have expended all of the emergency assistance funds through the Housing Stability Program (HSP) and are waiting on the Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) to become available.” ESG guidelines are reportedly similar to the HSP grant. Birt said many of the guidelines and procedures are still being developed by the State of Ohio. More information on the program may be available later this year. During the meeting, held at Countryside Commons in Sidney, Birt asked for approval to give gift cards to the agency’s employees. Each
of the 40 employees in Shelby, Logan and Champaign counties was given a $50 Walmart gift card. Predmore said the cards were paid for using “agency corporate funds.” When asked what monies are used for agency corporate funds, Predmore said, “at the moment, I couldn’t tell you that. We are not allowed to use grant money.” Predmore explained that employees “haven’t got a gift card in awhile, for several years.” The CAC provides a number of services to low income residents, including Meals on Wheels and weatherization programs, as well as offering assistance with utilities. Birt reported that close to $4,000 was raised in the first fundraising drive held for the Meals on Wheels program. She thanked board members who contributed to the effort. Birt noted letters were distributed to agency vendors, public offices and organizations as well as those who receive meals and their families. Predmore noted the Meals on Wheels program does not serve Shelby County, so any funds generated went to Champaign and Logan counties. The CAC is planning to receive a $10,985 management incentive fee from Countryside Commons this year. According to Birt, “this is due to a cash surplus in the budget divided among the owners based on a “waterfall process” which was identified in the original agreement. The process identifies how and when various partners are paid.
The Countryside Commons project provided an additional $94,720 because of addition of the management incentive fee, the balance of the developer fees paid and the supportive services fees that have been received. The CAC has requested and received approval to increase the supportive services fee from $6,000 annually to $7,200. If management continues to operate “efficiently,” additional incentive fees may be received this year, Birt reported. Predmore noted the CAC has received an increase in its funding for supportive fees provided to Countryside Commons. “We supply an employee several hours weekly to connect residents to community services and resources. We also produce a bi-monthly newsletter and a monthly calendar of activities for residents and coordinate activities for the complex,” Predmore said. There are still board vacancies in the Shelby County Public Sector and Low In-
come Sector areas. Anyone interested should contact Birt at 937-593-0034. Predmoresaid low income sector members are chosen based on private non-profit organizations where at least onethird of tripartite board membership must be democratically selected representatives of low income individuals and families who reside in neighborhoods being served. Those selecting such board members can be a group of low income citizens who live in the county they want to represent. Public sector board members are chosen with one-third being elected officials who are holding office, or their representatives. If enough elected officials or their representatives are not available to serve, appointed public officials or their representatives may be named. The next CAC Board meeting will be Jan.17 at 2 p.m. at 125 E. Patterson St., Bellefontaine. A finance meeting will be held at 1:30.
