Successful sting Al-Qaida bomber was CIA informant BY MATT APUZZO Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — The CIA had al-Qaida fooled from the beginning. Last month, U.S. intelligence learned that al-Qaida’s Yemen branch hoped to launch a spectacular attack using a new, nearly undetectable bomb aboard an airliner bound for America, officials say.

But the man the terrorists were counting on to carry out the attack was actually working for the CIA and Saudi intelligence, U.S. and Yemeni officials told The Associated Press on Tuesday. The dramatic sting operation thwarted the attack before it had a chance to succeed. It was the latest misfire for al-Qaida, which has repeatedly come close to detonating a

bomb aboard an airliner. For the United State, it was a victory that delivered the bomb intact to U.S. intelligence. The officials spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the operation. The cooperation of the would-be bomber was first reported Tuesday evening by The Los Angeles Times. The FBI is still analyzing the explosive, which was in-

tended to be concealed in a passenger’s underwear. Officials said it was an upgrade over the bomb that failed to detonate on board an airplane over Detroit on Christmas 2009. This new bomb contained no metal and used a chemical — lead azide — that was to be a detonator in a nearly successful 2010 plot to attack cargo planes, officials said. See STING/Page 5A

A powerful chain Holy Angels students Emma Simpson (l-r), 13, and Sidney Chapman, 12, both of Sidney, lead a procession of choir members in carrying a paper chain put together by Holy Angels students Tuesday. Students wrote the names of people they know who have battled cancer or are still battling cancer on the chain links. The ceremony was called Cancer Links Assembly. The chain will be hung up at the Shelby County Fairgrounds during Relay for Life. Emma is the daughter of Tisha and Frederick Simpson. Sidney is the daughter of Michelle and Lowell Chapman.

City begins to make plans to deal with heavy rainfalls BY MIKE SEFFRIN mseffrin@sdnccg.com Sidney City Council at its work session Monday night directed the city staff to proceed with development of a program to deal with bypasses of the wastewater treatment plant during heavy rainfalls. Part of the solution would require property owners to pay for repairs to damaged sewer laterals that allow rainwater into sanitary sewer mains. As mandated by the the

Ohio Environmental Protection Agency, the city must eliminate conditions in which the plant’s current capacity of 13.5 million gallons a day (MGD) is exceeded, resulting in flows that bypass the plant and go into the river. Brian Schultz, wastewater treatment plant superintendent, presented options to council to deal with the problem. The city staff ’s recommendation was that the city pursue a three-pronged solution that would expand the plant’s capacity to 25 MGD to

eliminate most bypasses; perform an analysis of the public part of the collection system to identify improvements; and develop a program to remove inflow and infiltration (I&I) of rain or groundwater from private property into the wastewater system. The 25 MGD plant expansion would be much cheaper than the 36 MGD expansion that would be needed to eliminate all bypasses, Schultz said. Also, dealing with the problem by only expanding the plant would not address

the I&I issue. He said much of the I&I comes from private property. Another feature of the city staff recommendation would change regulations so that private property owners are responsible for sewer laterals only out to the street right of way. Currently, they are responsible all the way to the sewer main, which usually runs under the middle of the street. The staff also recommended an inspection proSee CITY/Page 3A

Legislators have so far not been helpful in relieving the pressure exerted by the OEPA, and Schultz said cities that already have paid for improvements would not look favorably on actions that exempt other cities from the mandate. Schultz estimated bypasses occur at the Sidney plant only six to eight times a year. In other business, council authorized Law Director Jeff Amick to proceed with his proposal for staffing. The proposal includes the elimination of a secretarial position and provision to contract with a lawyer to act as a backup prosecutor to review cases in Sidney Municipal Court when Amick is not available. Prior to the work session, council met in executive session to review applications for a vacant at-large council seat, as well as appointment, employment and compensation of public employees, and purchase or acquisition of property.

Sidney Council to meet tonight There will be a special meeting of Sidney City Council tonight at 5:30 in the Municipal Building Council Chambers to consider appointment of a public official. Council will probably meet in executive session to discuss the appointment.

Fugitive pleads not guilty

BOBBY THOMPSON (right) talks with his attorney Mark Stanton during his hearing in Cuyahoga County Court in Cleveland on Tuesday. Thompson is accused of running a scam that collected millions in donations from people who believed they were helping U.S. Navy veterans.

CLEVELAND (AP) — A recently captured fugitive suspected of running a scam that collected up to $100 million in donations for U.S. Navy veterans pleaded not guilty Tuesday to state charges, and a judge wary that he might disappear again ordered him kept locked up. The man calls himself Bobby Thompson, though authorities don’t believe that’s his name but have been unable to identify him otherwise. The man was arrested last week in Portland, Ore., by U.S. marshals after nearly two years as a fugitive. Authorities believe he

the next five years.” Watkins added that another factor that is not known in the coming year is how many teachers and staff members might retire, which would allow the district to hire people at less salary than those retiring. “We are living within our means,” said Superintendent John Scheu. “We have made some sacrifices through salary and benefits and retirements. We are not staying stagnate. As a district we have to keep moving forward.” Scheu said the all-day kindergarten program is a benefit to the district and will hopefully slow the open enrollment of students moving out of the district. He said the addition of art, music and physical education on a weekly basis instead of every other week at the elementary school is also an asset to the district. Both Scheu and Watkins are hoping the open enrollment numbers coming into the district will increase over

an orange jail jumpsuit, sat with his manacled hands on his lap, smiling lightly when the prosecutor mentioned Thompson’s refusal to cooperate in identifying himself. Brad Tammaro, chief counsel to Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine, told the judge that Thompson was arrested with a suitcase full of phony IDs and apparently was planning to make more. Without ties to the community and the possibility he may have access to the missing money, Thompson would be a risk to become a fugitive and should not be allowed to remain free pending trial, Tammaro said.

Tammaro outlined Thompson’s cross-country travels, often with only brief stops before moving elsewhere. “There is no reason for him to stay in this jurisdiction” if released pending trial, Tammaro said. Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Judge Hollie Gallagher agreed, refusing to set bond for him, meaning he’ll stay in jail. The judge said she was not satisfied he would appear in court if he’s released. The defense attorney, Mark Stanton, told the judge that Thompson wants to represent himself and have an attorney assist him. Stanton said he was willing to serve in that capacity.

Repeal goes to governor

The top priority projects include the sidewalk at Whittier School, $3,000; roof repairs at Longfellow School, estimated at $40,000; brick and tuck pointing at Parkwood School, estimated at $3,000; sealing and repairing the high school track, $60,000; and bus replacement, $170,000.

The board will vote on the five-year forecast its meeting on May 21 at 6 p.m. at the board of education building.

COLUMBUS (AP) — A contentious new election law was on track to being repealed in the presidential battleground state of Ohio after a bill to rescind the law cleared the Legislature on Tuesday, amid Democratic acthat cusations Republicans were thwarting the chance for voters to weigh in on the issue this fall. GOP Gov. John Kasich is expected to sign the repeal bill. The overhaul law has been on hold since September. That’s when the Fair Elections Ohio campaign had gathered more than 300,000 signatures from Ohioans to get a referendum on Nov. 6 ballots to ask voters whether they wanted to repeal it.

“Why not let the voters vote?” state Rep. Matt Lundy, an Elyria Democrat, asked his Republican colleagues. “This is a very bad idea.” House Speaker William Batchelder and others have said there is no precedent for a legislative repeal of a bill that also is the subject of a referendum, so it’s unclear how a court might rule if a legal challenge is filed. The state’s top elections official said with the law’s repeal, there’s no longer a question to be placed before voters. “Today’s action by the legislature means that Ohio’s election law is no longer in limbo and the potential for unnecessary voter confusion has been

eliminated,” Secretary of State Jon Husted, a Republican, said in a written statement. The Republican-controlled House passed the measure on a 54-42 vote Tuesday, sending it to Kasich. Three House Republicans joined Democrats in opposing the bill. The GOP-dominated Senate approved the legislation on a party-line vote in March. Among other changes, the overhaul law trims the swing state’s in-person early voting window from 35 days before Election Day to 17 days, and the period for absentee voting by mail from 35 days to 21. It also cuts off in-person early voting on the Friday evening before Election Day.

restricted state grandsin-aid, restricted federal grants-in-aid, property tax allocation and all other revenues. However, there was a negative amount in the tangible personal property tax. The district collected more in general property tax than had been predicted said Watkins. The submission October showed $11,425,560 being collected, while the May submission shows $12,181,504, an increase of $755,944. The increase, he said, comes from more delinquent tax collections being received (more than $100,000) and less of an impact from the property valuation changes. The difference in the tangible personal property tax resulted in a reclassification of telecommunications personal property to exempt. The October submission had shown $858,556, while the May submission will show $578,170. This means $280,386 less will be received by the district. Expenditures for the district, said Watkins, were estimated correctly in October with the exception of employees retirement/insurance benefits, purchased services, advances out. Unemployment benefits (retirement/insurance benefits) were underestimated by $5,000 because of the additional layoffs of staff members, said Watkins. Purchased services for repairs and nature gas purchases were $34,121 than estimated in October. The estimated cash balance for June 30 is $9,042,968, with encumbrances of $250,000, for an unreserved balance of $8,792,856 for fiscal year 2012. “One thing that helped us was the health insurance rate,” said Watkins. “We had seen an 11 percent increase in the past. This year it has dropped to .5% increase, so that’s saving us $350,000 a year. If the rate remains the same, that will save us more than $1.2 million over

The charges against the man include racketeering, money laundering, identity theft, records tampering and theft. Thompson, dressed in

BRIEFLY

Bomb master: ‘Brutality’ and ‘novelty’

Lugar loses

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Ibrahim Hassan al-Asiri has built a reputation as al-Qaida’s bomb-making savant one potential near miss at time: Explosive-rigged underwear aboard a Christmas flight to the U.S. in 2009, printers fitted with highgrade explosives the next year and now possibly a metal-free device that could avoid airport detectors. Before those failed attempts, he staged an even more audacious attack: Turning his own brother into a suicide bomber in a mission that injured Saudi Arabia’s top counterterrorism official and was later decried by the U.S. State Department for its “brutality, novelty and sophistication.” “You tyrants … your bastions and fortifications will not prevent us from reaching you,” said an al-Qaida statement claiming responsibility for the August 2009

WASHINGTON (AP) — Six-term Indiana Sen. Richard Lugar was routed by the right flank of his own Republican Party Tuesday night, and North Carolina voters decided overwhelmingly to strengthen their state’s gay marriage ban — a conservative show of enthusiasm and strength six months before the nation chooses between Democratic President Barack Obama and GOP foe Mitt Romney. Romney swept three Republican primaries, moving ever closer to sealing his nomination. “I have no regrets about running for re-election, even if doing so can be a very daunting task,” the 80year-old Lugar said as he conceded to the tea partybacked GOP opponent who ended his nearly fourdecade career in the Senate.

GOP blocks debate WASHINGTON (AP) — Senate Republicans blocked a Democratic bill Tuesday to preserve low interest rates for millions of college students’ loans, as the two parties engaged in electionyear choreography aimed at showing each is the better protector of families in today’s rugged economy. The 52-45 vote to begin debating the legislation fell eight votes short of the 60 needed to proceed and stalled work on an effort both parties expect will ultimately produce a compromise, probably soon. For now, each side is happy to use the stalemate to snipe at the other with campaignready talking points while they are gridlocked over how to cover the $6 billion cost.

No gas records NEW YORK (AP) — Gasoline prices likely won’t set any records this summer, thanks to a recent drop in the price of oil. The government on Tuesday slashed its forecast for average gas prices to $3.79 per gallon for the summer driving season. That’s down from an initial estimate of $3.95 and below 2008’s record average of $3.80. The Energy Information Administration’s revised forecast is encouraging news for the economy. Some economists blame high pump prices for so-so consumer spending this year. They were also seen as a factor in the loss of 35,000 retail jobs in February and March. Gasoline prices soared 20 percent from January to early April.

CARLISLE, Pa. (AP) — Somebody is a few thousand limes away from one big party. Police in central Pennsylvania are searching for a missing beer trailer loaded with about 1,800 cases of Corona. Carlisle police say the trailer was stolen from a distributor sometime between Friday and Monday. Corona is a popular Mexican beer, and Saturday marked Cinco de Mayo, which celebrates Mexican heritage and pride and is an occasion for festivals and parties throughout the U.S. Anyone with information on the trailer’s whereabouts is asked to call the Carlisle police. The missing trailer is registered to Metcalf Trucking and has Maine tags.

Barack Obama’s counterterrorism adviser. Al-Asiri, 30, arrived in Yemen in 2006 after being jailed by Saudi officials in crackdowns against Islamic militants. “They put me in prison and I began to see the depths of (the Saudi) servitude to the Crusaders and their hatred for the true worshippers of God, from the way they interrogated me,” he is quoted as saying in the September 2009 issue of Sada al-Malahem, or Voice of Battles, an Arabiclanguage online magazine put out by al-Qaida’s branch in Yemen. His younger brother, Abdullah, also made the trek to Yemen as they turned their backs on their father, a fourdecade veteran of the Saudi military. In Yemen’s rugged northern mountains, they met with fugitive Yemeni militant Nasser al-Wahishi, a former

aide to Osama bin Laden, and became the nucleus of the new al-Qaida affiliate, said the magazine account, which could not be independently confirmed. They later brought in U.S.born cleric Anwar al-Awlaki as a powerful propaganda voice in the West. Al-Awlaki was killed in a U.S. airstrike last September. U.S. intelligence officials at first believed al-Asiri also was killed in the attack, but the suspicions were proven wrong several weeks later. In August 2009, al-Asiri was linked to an elaborate scheme to strike at the heart of Saudi’s intelligence services. His brother Abdullah posed as a disenchanted militant wishing to surrender to high-ranking officials in his homeland. A Saudi royal jet was dispatched. To avoid detection, the explosives where reported hidden in his rectum or held between his legs.

‘Where Wild Things Are’ author dies NEW YORK (AP) — Maurice Sendak didn’t think of himself as a children’s author, but as an author who told the truth about childhood. “I like interesting people and kids are really interesting people,” he explained to The Associated Press last fall. “And if you didn’t paint them in little blue, pink and yellow, it’s even more interesting.” Sendak, who died early Tuesday in Danbury, Conn., at age 83, four days after suffering a stroke, revolutionized children’s books and how we think about childhood simply by leaving in what so many writers before had excluded. Dick and Jane were no match for his naughty Max. His kids misbehaved and didn’t regret it, and in their dreams and nightmares fled to the most unimaginable places. Monstrous creatures were devised from his studio, but none more frightening than the grownups in his stories or the cloud of the Holocaust that darkened his every page. “From their earliest years children live on familiar

It is the best means they have for taming wild things.” Rarely was a man so unin-

terested in being loved or adored. Starting with the Caldecott, the great parade marched on and on. He received the Hans Christian Andersen award in 1970 and a Laura Ingalls Wilder medal in 1983. President Bill Clinton awarded Sendak a National Medal of the Arts in 1996 and in 2009 President Obama read “Where the Wild Things Are” for the Easter Egg Roll. Communities attempted to

blast in Jiddah. This appears to be the essence of al-Asiri’s plots as one of the leaders of the Yemen-based Al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula, or AQAP. A pattern has emerged of explosive expertise channeled into designs using a smugglerstyle stealth and innovation to try to outwit security forces and spy agencies. U.S. authorities Tuesday probed the latest device believed to be the work of the Saudi-born al-Asiri or one of his students after it was uncovered in a CIA operation. It was described as a refinement of the underwear bomb that failed to detonate aboard a jetliner over Detroit on Dec. 25, 2009. The twist this time was an absence of metal, which could have made the device undetectable by conventional airport scanners. “It was a threat from a standpoint of the design,” said John Brennan, President

THIS SATURDAY photo provided by WLUC TV shows Diane McNease in her prom dress made from Starburst wrappers, with Luke DeWitt at Ishpeming High School in Ishpeming, Mich. McNease tells WLUC-TV that she came up with the idea of making her prom dress out of candy wrappers when she saw a friend folding some. She estimates it took about 18,000 wrappers to make the corset of her dress, as well as matching hair bands and a purse.

Teen has a sweet prom dress ISHPEMING, Mich. (AP) — A northern Michigan teen put together one sweet prom dress, thanks to the help of classmates who collected thousands of Starburst wrappers for her. Diane McNease tells WLUC-TV that she came up with the idea of making her prom dress out of candy wrappers when she saw a friend folding some. She estimates it took about 18,000 Starburst

wrappers to make the corset of her dress, as well as matching hair bands and a purse. The Ishpeming High School student wore the dress to Saturday’s prom in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. The top half of the dress is made out of folded wrappers and the bottom looks more like a traditional gown. It took about five months to make, with help from family and friends.

Security procedures at U.S. airports remained unchanged Tuesday, a reflection of both the U.S. confidence in its security systems and a recognition that the government can’t realistically expect travelers to endure much more. Increased costs and delays to airlines and shipping companies could have a global economic impact, too. “I would not expect any real changes for the traveling public,” said House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Rogers, R-Mich. “There is a concern that overseas security doesn’t match ours. That’s an ongoing challenge.” While airline checks in the United States mean passing through an onerous, sometimes embarrassing series of pat-downs and body scans, procedures overseas can be a mixed bag. The U.S. cannot force other countries to permanently adopt the expensive and intrusive measures that have become common in American airports over the past decade. The Transportation Security Administration sent advice to some international air carriers and airports about security measures that might stave off an attack from a hidden explosive. It’s the same advice the U.S. has issued before, but there was a thought that it might get new attention in light of the foiled plot. The U.S. has worked for years to try to improve security for U.S.-bound flights originating at international airports. And many countries

ban him, but his books sold millions of copies and his curmudgeonly persona became as much a part of his legend as “Where the Wild Things Are,” adapted into a hit movie in 2009. He seemed to act out everyone’s fantasy of a nasty old man with a hidden and generous heart. No one granted the privilege could forget his snarly smile, his raspy, unprintable and adorable dismissals of such modern piffle as e-books and publicity tours, his misleading insistence that his life didn’t matter. “I didn’t sleep with famous people or movie stars or anything like that. It’s a common story: Brooklyn boy grows up and succeeds in his profession, period,” he told the AP. Sendak’s other books, standard volumes in so many children’s bedrooms, included “Chicken Soup With Rice,” ”One was Johnny,” ”Pierre,” ”Outside Over There” and “Brundibar,” a folk tale about two children who need to earn enough money to buy milk for their sick mother. “This is the closest thing to a perfect child I’ve ever had,” he told the AP.

From Page 1 agree that security needs to be better. But while plots such as the Christmas attack have spurred changes, some security gaps that have been closed in the U.S. remain open overseas. Officials believe that body scanners, for instance, probably would have detected this latest attempt by al-Qaida to bring down a jetliner. Such scanners allow screeners to see objects hidden beneath a passenger’s clothes. But while scanners are in place in airports nationwide, their use is scattershot overseas. Even in security-conscious Europe, the European Union has not required fullbody imaging machines for all airports, though a number of major airports in Paris, London, Frankfurt and elsewhere use them. All passengers on U.S.bound flights are checked against terrorist watch lists and law enforcement databases. In some countries, U.S. officials are stationed in airports to offer advice on security matters. In some cases, though, the U.S. is limited to hoping that other countries follow the security advice from the Transportation Security Administration. “Even if our technology is good enough to spot it, the technology is still in human hands and we are inherently fallible,” said Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., a member of the House Intelligence Committee. “And overseas, we have varying degrees of security depending on where the flight originates.”

Edison enjoys day of kids at work with parents PIQUA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; About 20 children of Edison Community College employees were on campus recently for the inaugural â&#x20AC;&#x153;Take Your Child to Work Day,â&#x20AC;? which provided a hands-on experience for parents and kids alike. Both parents and mentors from the college were on hand to tour the campus in the morning, and to visit offices and see first-hand the type of work thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s being done on a daily basis at Edison. Following lunch and an impromptu wiffle ball game in the gymnasium, parents, mentors and children were given the opportunity to join Edison faculty in some hands-on learning in labs and classrooms. In the nursing lab, a demonstration was given on the patient simulator,

which can mimic real-life symptoms and speak. Kids attending the dayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s events also got the chance to work with medical laboratory technician students and faculty by preparing samples on slides and then examining them under a microscope. The day ended with a visit to the Edison television studio to work in front of a green screen producing movie special effects clips and a trip to the police academyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s virtual firing range for a demonstration. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The inaugural Take Your Child to Work Day at Edison was a wonderful success! The children, parents, and mentors enjoyed the whole experience,â&#x20AC;? said Natalie Rindler, human resources administrative assistant.

shared countless childhood experiences, romantic memories, convictions about her core values, and an explanation of her abiding faith, despite some difficult days. Mom also expressed her belief that we all have our own unique story. In some ways, I deeply regret not taking time to read this memoir while she was alive to discuss it with her in detail. In other ways, it has been such a gift reading it now. Sitting down with a cup of coffee and pouring over the booklet’s informative pages has been like having one of our marathon conversations.

Priceless In explanation, for the last three decades of our lives, Mom and I lived 600 miles apart, and long-distance truly was “the next best thing to being there.” Through our phone provider’s family plan, we racked up priceless moments. I also visited my mother in Philadelphia whenever I could, but it wasn’t often enough. I never imagined that she wouldn’t be here for the huge 80th birthday celebration that I had hoped we would have for her on May 3 this year. A very wise nurse once told me that when we love someone deeply, “We always think we will see them one more time.” Besides, we can’t believe that the one who gave us birth, tended our banged-up knees and broken hearts, could ever leave us. Despite the fact that

she is no longer here, Mom remains in our hearts and in the legacy of her words. For example, in her reflections, one of the most important life lessons that she records is a reminder that “ … all things work together for good for those who love God.” (Romans 8:28) Based on this biblical promise, she writes, “When you’ve messed up … remember this. There is no mistake so big that God’s mercy is not bigger. I have found … that some things I considered failures turned out to be blessings.”

Another lesson Another lesson: “Always try to leave a person … a little happier for having met you — encourage,” she advised. Based on this, my own parting advice is why not surprise your loved ones with a Mother’s Day extraordinaire? Don’t let those words of appreciation go unsaid. If there are deep wounds between you and your mom, try to find it in your heart to forgive. This might be the greatest gift you can give to her and to yourself this year, because you never know when it will be your last. In parting, from the road less traveled, I wish you all the very best this Mother’s Day! The writer is an award-winning freelance journalist and an inspirational speaker.

The truth about postal reform BY REED ANFINSON Now that U.S. Senate has passed a bill, SB 1789, to reform the ailing U.S. Postal Service, critics are trying to disable the bill on its way to the House of Representatives. Business Week recently catalogued unhappy stakeholders, including postal unions, postal management and some Republicans, who wrongly think the bill burdens taxpayers. Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., whose own bill awaits action in the House, blasted “special interests.” But Business Week says, “Considering how many people are unhappy with the bill, it isn’t clear which special interests Issa is referring to.” Some see the Senate bill as the inevitable product of the sausage machine. But it is neither a budget buster nor processed meat. It is the expression of a better vision of the Postal Service. If you consider that survival of the service means maintaining the circulatory system for a $1.1 trillion mailing industry — or in other words, making sure cash, greeting cards, packages, and newspapers and magazines arrive on time, the Senate bill is good medicine. Consider some of the alternative fixes. Issa’s bill would let USPS immediately end Saturday mail, close half the mail processing centers and thousands of post offices, and put a new board of political appointees in charge. The new board would be expected to trim workers’ benefits and maybe wages, and direct the postmaster general to favor profit over service. At the other extreme might be Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt.,

who wanted to keep everything open. Labor unions backing him say that USPS will heal as the economy heals. Then there is the White House’s notion: to raise postage rates. For Sens. Susan Collins, RMaine, and Joe Lieberman, IConn., neither extreme is suited to long-term survival of USPS. To many experts, Issa’s approach is likely to frighten away businesses that mail. The Lieberman-Collins bill agrees that USPS needs a more flexible, less costly workforce. It keeps mail flowing through today’s network while cost-cutting is under way. For example, they would end Saturday mail delivery in two years, but only if USPS has taken other big steps toward financial viability. They would allow the closing of postal plants now, if USPS preserves local mail delivery speed. Is their bill the product of compromise, or of a different vision? Consider: • The Postal Service’s plantclosing plan is based on a desire to amass more mail at automated urban centers, where costly machines sit idle much of the day. To optimize machines, USPS would haul mail much farther. But the hauling would slow the mailstream, particularly in small towns and rural areas that are far from mail plants and create a set of second-class citizens who would get and send mail more slowly than urban dwellers. It would also hamper smaller communities’ quests for economic development. • Many Americans say they wouldn’t miss Saturday mail. But USPS builds its system around senders, not receivers. Who would be hurt by a five-

day delivery regime? Anyone who depends on timely mail delivery. Shutting down the system two days a week — three when Monday holidays occur — would create delay, according to the Postal Regulatory Commission. Then there are those who need prescriptions delivered when they are at home; smalltown citizens who get the newspaper by mail and businesses needing six-day cash flows. • Closing small post offices seems a no-brainer to city dwellers who spot those oneroom POs at the roadside on the way to the beach. Surely not all are needed. But rather than closing them entirely, USPS could have circuit-rider postmasters to open them a few hours a day. That is affordable if worker benefits are brought into line with the private sector. For those communities, a circuit rider could continue their links to the world. • The Congressional Budget Office says the Senate bill would cost $33.6 billion, adding to the federal deficit. But postage-payers, not taxpayers, carry that burden. Taxpayers face a liability as the funder-oflast resort only if postage revenues dry up — which is more likely to happen if the mail slows to a crawl. Finally, members of Congress may differ on how they see USPS. Is it a corporation? Is it a government agency responsible for binding the nation together? Fact: it is a governmentsponsored enterprise or GSE, more like Fannie Mae than like IBM or the Defense Department. It has to use business tools but carry out a public mission. And it has enormous power in the marketplace. Con-

sider, for example, its new Every Door Direct Mail program, which directly competes with many private businesses. Members of Congress who mistakenly see postal reform as an exercise in deregulating a company may actually unleash a powerful federal agency, while those who look to raising postage so generous worker benefits can continue could pull the plug on the economic engine that keeps jobs alive. It isn’t compromise that is needed, but a clear-eyed vision based on a full understanding of the needs of all whom the Postal Service serves. Postal management today has an impossible task, expected to accomplish business goals without the cost-controlling tools businesses have and expected to achieve government ends without federal support. Congress owns this confusion. Only Congress can fix it and it will continue to need to finetune its solutions as communications cultures change. No bill passed today will avoid the need for legislation in the future. Neither “deregulating” it nor hiking rates will get USPS to stability. Nor will abrupt and disruptive approaches to labor costs. Sens. Collins and Lieberman, along with co-sponsors Tom Carper, D-Del., and Scott Brown, R-Mass., have devoted endless hours to understanding the challenge and to crafting the next steps toward fixing it. Their approach deserves considerably more respect than it is getting. The writer is president of the National Newspaper Association and publisher of the Swift County, Minn., Monitor-News.

Judges impressed with SDN efforts to overcome ‘bullying sheriff’ Judges for the annual Ohio Associated Press contest were impressed with efforts by the Sidney Daily News to get public record information in the case of former Shelby County Sheriff Dean Kimpel despite threats, intimidation and his refusal to provide requested documents. At one time the sheriff charged reporter Kathy Leese with crimes and attempted to have her arrested because she persisted in seeking public information from him. The newspaper received the coveted First Award Amendment based on its ongoing work to report on the Kimpel case. The award was presented Sunday at the AP Society of Ohio’s annual awards luncheon in Columbus. The award is presented each year to a newspaper that has “overcome obstacles on behalf of the unrestricted flow of information vital to a free society. By so doing, the recipient has served the public and has honored journalism.” It is rare for the award to go to a smaller community newspaper, usually claimed by a large metropolitan paper such as the Columbus Dispatch or Cleveland

Plain Dealer. Judges commented on this fact in making their decision. Comments of four of the judges follow: • It is right to honor the largest newspapers for their important work protecting the First Amendment many times a year. But it is also right to recognize a relatively small daily newspaper for its important work protecting the First Amendment once, and well. In this case, The Sidney Daily News, and its reporter Kathy Leese, stood up to a bullying sheriff who stood in the way of the public’s right to know and the law itself. For the newspaper, her editors, and Ms. Leese, the fight to do the right thing was long and hard, and surely sometimes frightening, with a fraction of the resources available to the largest newspaper. • It’s rare that a journalist in our country is faced with harassment and threat of arrest from local law enforcement simply for doing her job. Kathy Leese and the Sidney Daily News courage in showed standing up to the harassment from the local sheriff. Both the newspaper and the reporter should be commended for standing up for the

First Amendment. • This year’s First Amendment Award entries include multiple worthy newspapers. But The Sidney Daily News gets my vote for standing up to a “tough guy” sheriff who stonewalled and then threatened a freelance news reporter with arrest for asking questions. Bully for the reporter and for the Daily News for refusing to let an elected law-enforcement official scare them off the story. • The entries are all excellent examples of how Ohio newspapers are continuing their work giving readers information in the face of special interests, threats,

many of the stories about Kimpel, Leese said she is honored to have played a role in work that led to the First Amendment award. “A lot of long, hard hours of work, research and time went into writing all the stories regarding the suspended sheriff. I believe the public’s right to know is important. It is a freedom that must be protected.” She said her experience with Kimpel has not colored her views of the law enforcement community in general. “There are a lot of good,

bullying, lawsuits, and official obstruction. I’m particularly ticked off at smalltown bullies, however, and the piece that really impressed me was the Sidney Daily News’persistence in the face of overt threats and intimidation from the then Shelby County sheriff. Kathy Leese is a brave and persistent reporter and the residents of Shelby County have benefitted greatly from her work and that of the Sidney Daily News.” In commenting on the newspaper’s award and her role in pursuing

decent law enforcement officers who serve in Sidney and Shelby County,” Leese stated. “I am honored to know many of them. They put their lives on the line every day to protect all of us. Since I come from a law enforcement family that includes, among others, my grandfather who was an FBI agent in the early days, and my uncle, who was a sheriff shot and killed in the line of duty in Kentucky, and being a criminal justice major myself, I understand how important they are.”

EnYart Just licensed, EnYart will partner with Smith and Lori Shoemaker as she becomes familiar with the job. EnYart was awarded her Ohio Real Estate Sales License after attending Hondros College. EnYart came to Ohio in 1990 from Long Island, N.Y., and grew up with a mom who was a licensed realtor, so the business is not new to her. She is accustomed to working with people from all facets of life and from many different parts of the United States. Married to Frank for 22 years and having a daughter, Erin, who attends Edison State and a son, Frank, now a junior at Sidney High School, EnYart is now able to spend the time to fulfill

her desire “to help people and work with them to reach their goals of home ownership.” “RE/MAX ONE offers me the chance to be in business for myself but not by myself,” EnYart said. Her focus will be on residential properties and is starting her client base with family and

friends as well as through the Re/Max Leadstreet system that puts her in touch with individuals who are interested in the area for relocation or for transfer. EnYart may be reached at Re/Max ONE at 216 E. Poplar St., by phone at 497-7961 or cell phone at (937) 210-1984.

A CAR sits partially submerged in the Great Miami River next to the 3000 block of River Road in Sidney Monday at 5:08 p.m. as heavy rain comes down.

Driver cited after vehicle goes into Great Miami River Driver inattention led to an accident resulting in a car landing in the middle of the Great Miami River on Monday. Cindy K. Hughes, 47, of Sidney, was traveling on the 3000 block of River Road at 5:08 p.m.

on Monday, when she lost control of her vehicle. The vehicle struck two utility poles and several small trees before going into the river. According to Sheriff John Lenhart, she was cited for failure to control. When deputies and

a wrecker attempted to retrieve the vehicle from the river on Tuesday morning, it was determined the water was too high and continuing to rise. There were no injuries but Sidney Fire and Emergency Services responded to the scene.

ANSWER: Your doctor has taken the correct approach to a problem that often is seen in mammograms — calcifications. The body puts down small amounts of calcium for a number of reasons. It’s one way it has of patching up slight injuries or containing infections. Hurry things along only if the doctor is taking months to reply. The significance of calcifications lies in their extent, their size, their location in the breast and the pattern they make. If there’s even a slight doubt about cancer, the doctor will recommend that you have a biopsy.

Jackets blanked 2-0 in D-I tourney opener SPRINGFIELD — It was a tough way to open tournament play, a 2-0 Sidney loss to Springfield in a game that took just 90 minutes to complete Tuesday in the Division I Sectional Baseball Tournament here. The game ended Sidney’s season at 5-21. Sidney’s Connor Echols was the tough-luck loser after pitching a gem. He went all seven innings and allowed just four hits. “We’ve had a couple games like that for Connor this season,” said Sidney coach Tony Metzler. “The difference was Springfield getting two-out hits.” The Jackets also managed only four hits.

PIERCE BENNETT of Lehman returns the ball in sectional tennis action Tuesday in Troy.

Two Lehman netters advance BY ROB KISER Ohio Community Media TROY — Lehman's Pierce Bennett and Dan Sehlhorst advanced to district a year ago as doubles partners. The duo is headed back to district — in a different fashion — as both advanced in singles Wednesday at Troy City Park. Bennett, the second seed, cruised into the semifinals to be played Saturday. “Playing singles is completely different,” Bennett, a junior and two-time district qualifier in doubles, said. “It is not just that you are out there by yourself — the angles and footwork are completely different — and you have to be better conditioned, but I’ve been working on it since the summer to prepare for this.” And Tuesday, Bennett spent more time waiting for his opportunity than actual time on the court, dropping only one game all day. He opened with a 6-0, 6-0 win over Daniel Chavez of Cedarville, matched it with a 6-0, 6-0 win over Hunter Clark of Kenton Ridge and handled Andrew Williams of Northeastern 6-1, 6-0 in the go-to-district match. “There is always a lot of waiting at sectionals,” Bennett said. “And when I got on the court I was efficient.” He will face third seed Nathan Hart of Brookville in the semifinals Saturday. “No matter what, I know there are going to be three other great players in the semifinals Saturday,” Bennett said. “It is important, but I know the work I have done (in the summer) has prepared me for Saturday and district.” After Bennett finished his work for the day, he was watching Sehlhorst in his goto-district match with Beau Smedley of Milton-Union. Sehlhorst, who came in unseeded, knocked off fourth seed Zach Wildofsky of Northeastern 6-0, 6-4 in the second round and outlasted Smedley 6-3, 6-3. Earlier he had defeated John Holmes of Urbana 6-1, 60; and Tim Marvin of

Cedarville 6-0, 6-3. “I want to contratulate Zach (Wildofsky) and Beau (Smedley) on playing great matches,” Sehlhorst said. “They played great and those were tough matches.” Unlike Bennett, singles is nothing new for Sehlhorst. “That is what I normally play,” he said. “Last year in the tournament was about the only time I played doubles.” Still, he knew he was in for a challenge. “I was in the fourth seed bracket,” he said. “That is always a dogfight. By the time I got to the last match (Smedley), I was really tired.” And it was a match that required patience. In the opening set that lasted an hour, Sehlhorst had a break and a hold of serve to finish off a 6-3 win. The second set begain with a game of more than 10 dueces before Smedley held serve. It was a repeat of the first set, with Sehlhorst winning by the same score. “I had played Beau (Smedley) once before and beat him,” Sehlhorst said. “I knew it was going to be a tough match and it was.” Sehlhorst will play top seed Matt Brumbaugh of MiltonUnion in the semifinals Saturday. Mitchell Shroyer found the going tough Tuesday, losing 64, 6-1 to Michael Schmid of Northeastern. The Lehman doubles team of Michael Comer and Louis Gaier missed qualifying for district by one match. They defeated Josh Remmetter and Drake Pensworth of Greenon 6-1, 6-4; and Derek Mayberry and Eric Chambers of Brookville 6-1, 6-3; before losing to top seed Marshall Winterbotham and Kenton Dickison of Milton-Union 6-1, 6-1. The Cavaliers duo of Matt Ulrich and David Freytag couldn’t repeat their district qualifying magic of a year ago. After defeating Jacob Campbell and Adam Verbsky of Bellefontaine 6-0, 6-0; they ran into a buzzsaw in third seeds Pat and Casey Burns of Catholic Central, losing 6-1, 6-1.

BULLETIN BOARD

Fertilizer plant plans presented CARTHAGENA — Amiran Technologies, the company that wants to build an $11 million plant to make organic fertilizer from livestock manure, recently met with Mercer County neighbors to share plans for the 25,000square-foot facility along U.S. 127 near the intersection of Ohio 29. Amiran officials showed neighbors samples of an odor-control chemical that would be used on manure and samples of finished fertilizer made from swine waste. The facility, AG Conversions Ohio LLC, would have a covered manure pit and the chemical would be made available to farmers to treat the waste before it comes to the plant. Company officials say as soon as permitting work is completed, they expect to begin converting an existing building at the site into a preliminary production facility to make 50,000 tons of fertilizer yet this year. The plant would use hog, dairy and poultry manure to make custom-blended organic dry and liquid fertilizer. Running at capacity, the plant would need 350,000 tons of liquid manure to produce 590,000 tons of dry granular fertilizer, depending on demand. The company expects to hire 60 employees in management, supervising, chemistry, research and development and other areas with an annual payroll of $3.4 million. Two spinoff businesses would pick up manure from farms and deliver it to the plant and sell and distribute the fertilizer. Company and local officials see the plant as a way to rid the area of animal waste and help restore Grand Lake St. Marys, which has suffered from phosphorousfed toxic algae blooms and water advisories the past three summers. The company says it also wants to build a facility to turn sediment dredged from the lake into potting soil.
