Oil prices jump 19%

TODAY’S

NEW YORK (AP) — Rising tensions in the Middle East have pushed oil prices up 19 percent over the past three weeks and are leading to a rise in prices at the gasoline pump.

Since the start of July, average gasoline prices in the U.S. have climbed 11 cents to

$3.44 per gallon. Pump prices are expected to creep higher in the coming weeks, and they aren’t likely to fall back to their June low of $3.33 for the rest of the summer, analysts say.

Crude rose $2.79, about 3 percent, to $92.66 per barrel Thursday, its highest level

since mid-May. The price has risen $15 per barrel since June 28, when oil hit a low of $77.69.

The oil market is responding to a series of events in recent days that have raised concerns — yet again — that Iran will try to block oil shipments through the Strait of

Hormuz, a narrow waterway in the Persian Gulf through which one-fifth of the world’s oil travels every day.

Iran raised this threat late last year after the U.S. and Europe announced sanctions designed to crimp Iran’s oil sales, sending oil soaring See OIL/Page 5

The Fashion Bug, a women’s clothing store at 2280 Michigan St., will close for good by the end of the year.

The shop is one of a chain of Fashion Bugs. The entire chain is closing. The Sidney store opened in 1989.

“The Fashion Bug brand has been proudly serving American women for 70 years, and our Sidney store has been in business for nearly 25 years,” said Gayle M. Coolick, vice president of Charming Shoppes Inc., of Bensalem, Pa., which owns the Fashion Bug chain. “We have greatly enjoyed doing business in Sidney and would like to thank See FASHION/Page 3

Native American gathering set for Sept. 6-9 The Shelby County Historical Society will host the first Shelby County Native American Gathering Sept. 6-9 at the fairgrounds and other Sidney sites.

“That’s the same weekend as Applefest,” said society Director Tilda Phlipot. “We hope it will enhance the Applefest experience for those who have been attending the festival for many years and we know Applefest will add to the enjoyment of people who come here specifically for the gathering.”

The Native American event will comprise performances by Native American dancers and drum circles, demonstrations by craftsmen, storytelling, visits to local schools, an exhibit at the Ross Historical Center and a speech by one of the country’s leading authorities on Native American history.

The project was the brainchild of the late Martin “Tallhorse” Chambers, of Fort Loramie. A Vietnam veteran and descendant of the

“He wanted people to know how Native Americans were treated in the past and how they are now,” said his widow, Mary. “There are a lot of Native military people. They weren’t just people like the movies and TV portray. He didn’t want people to think the Natives were what TV portrayed them to be.”

Martin and Mary, who is descended from the Cherokee Nation, participated in more than 20 pow wows together in Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee, Michigan and North Carolina. Martin served as head veteran (the equivalent of executive director), master of ceremonies or ring director (the equivalent of stage manager) for many of them. He also was a drummer. He performed on the youth drum for the Black Swamp Singers and Dancers, of Celina, for many years.

Death penalty committee looks at racial bias

BY ANDREW WELSH-HUGGINS Associated Press COLUMBUS (AP) — An Ohio Supreme Court committee studying the state’s capital punishment law planned to vote Thursday on recommendations requiring the collection of data to detect racial bias in death penalty cases.

The data would include a review of past cases as well as collecting information in the future on all homicides that might be eligible for capital punishment.

Other recommendations would require prosecutors, lawyers and judges involved in death penalty cases to be trained to protect against

racial bias. precedents Among cited in the Race and Ethnicity subcommittee recommendations is a 2005 Associated Press study that found that Ohio offenders who killed white victims were more likely to face a death sentence than those whose victims were black.

Numerous other studies of capital punishment laws around the country have also found that death penalty charges are more likely when a victim is white than a minority.

Another recommendation before the Ohio task force would require the creation of jury instructions involving race in death penalty cases and would also require jurors

to report racial discrimination voiced by other jurors during deliberations.

In addition, lawyers would have to seek the removal of any judge where “a reasonable basis for concluding that the judge’s decision making could be affected by racially discriminatory factors,” according to documents prepared ahead of Thursday’s meeting.

In 2009, North Carolina enacted its Racial Justice Act, directing judges to reduce a deathrow inmate’s sentence to life in prison if they find race was a significant factor in a convicted murderer receiving a death sentence or in the composition of jurors hearing a case.

Lawmakers this

month approved a scaled-back version of the law that death penalty supporters say will rely less on statistics they call misleading. They also say it will untie a log jam over the carrying out of executions in North Carolina, where the state last put someone to death in 2006.

Kentucky has a similar law, the nation’s first, but it has never been used in court.

The recommendations the Ohio task force is considering would not create a similar law.

Ohio Supreme Court Chief Justice Maureen O’Connor convened the task force while making it clear it won’t debate whether the state should have the death penalty.

IN THIS May 7 file photo, Whitney Hughs and her daughter McKenna May are seen at their home in Haskins. William May says he blocked his 4-yearold daughter’s Make-A-Wish trip to Disney World because he doesn’t believe donations to the wishgranting organization should be spent on a child who appears clear of illness after two years of cancer treatments.

Dad of cancer Biden patient, 4, denies Egypt’s ex-spy chief Disney trip dies at Cleveland Clinic raps

CAIRO (AP) — Democracy activists denounced plans for a military funeral honoring Egypt’s former spy chief Omar Suleiman, who was the ousted President Hosni Mubarak’s closest lieutenant, a key pillar of his authoritarian regime and holder of so many secrets he was known as “the black box.”

The 76-year-old Suleiman died Thursday in a U.S. hospital. The shadowy statesman was considered Mubarak’s most trusted man, handing the regime’s most sensitive issues like relations with the U.S. and Israel and the fierce battle against Islamists.

Suleiman’s spy agency was responsible for tracking and suppressing opposition groups at home.

The Cleveland Clinic in Ohio, where Suleiman had been treated since Monday, said in a statement he died of “complications from amyloidosis, a disease affecting the heart, kidneys and other organs.”

Tall, thin and often shown in dark sunglasses, Suleiman was also Egypt’s point man in cooperation with the United States against terrorism and was involved in the post 9/11 rendition program in which terror suspects snatched by the Americans were shipped to Egypt and other countries for interrogation, sometimes involving torture.

In one case in 2002, the U.S. asked Suleiman for DNA material from the family of Ayman el-Zawahri, the Egyptian militant who at the time was alQaida’s deputy leader and now heads the group.

“No problem, we’ll get his brother, cut off his arm and send it over,” Suleiman replied.

The Americans said just a blood sample would suffice, according to the account by author Ron Suskind in his book on the rendition program, “The One Percent Doctrine.”

GATHERING trade, Martin came by his Native American lineage from his maternal great-grandmother, a Tall Man. Mary, too, traces her Native roots through the maternal side of her family.

“Our elders don’t talk about being Natives because they’re still afraid they’ll lose their land,” Mary said. “We were told when we were growing up that we were Welsh and black Dutch. There’s no such thing as black Dutch. When the Natives went on the trail of tears, their neighbors were Dutch, so they just said they were black Dutch.” She noted that, as a result, it’s difficult for Natives to research their genealogy.

Martin served three tours of duty in Vietnam and succumbed to heart disease at 67, possibly brought on by exposure to Agent Orange.

“It was important to him that we recognize veterans during the gathering,” Phlipot said.

“We’ll do that during the grand entry Saturday afternoon.”

All events comprising the gathering will be free and open to the public except the programs that have been scheduled for the schools on Sept. 7.

The gathering will open Sept. 6 with a lecture by Dr. Herman Viola, of Falls Church, Va., curator emeritus at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History. The speech will be at 7 p.m. at Lehman Catholic High School. Viola has authored several books about his specialty, the study of the American West and Native Americans.

MARTIN “TALLHORSE” Chambers, of Fort Loramie, performs at one of the last pow wows he attended before his death in May. tellers, dancers and drummers will illustrate Native American life at the fairgrounds beginning at 10 a.m. Sept. 8.

At 1 p.m., a ceremony honoring all veterans will take place.

“This was important to Martin,” Phlipot said.

“He wanted to show that Native Americans have always supported their country in war times.”

The grand entry will feature a color guard and the placing of flags by area veterans.

Dancing and drumming performances and storytelling by Native Americans will begin immediately following the grand entry and continue until dark, with a break from 4 to 6 p.m.

Performers will include Thunder with the Hand,

Southern Singers, and Anon. Head dancers will be Tim Samaniego and Anglia Allen. Aaron Stevens will serve as master of ceremonies.

In addition to crafts for sale and demonstrations of craftsmanship, Native American food, including buffalo, elk, corn soup and fried bread will be available for purchase.

The Ross Historical Center exhibit will feature Native American artifacts, some of which are on loan from the museum at the Johnston Farm in Piqua. The staff did extensive research at Fort Ancient. The exhibit will open Sept. 8 and run through the month of September at the center, 201 N. Main Ave. “We have dedicated the gathering now to the memory of Martin Chambers,” Phlipot said.

“We wouldn’t be doing any of this if he hadn’t been so passionate about the idea.”

Veterans, who don’t have to be Native Americans, who would like to participate in the grand entry, should contact Phlipot at 498-5963.

This event has been made possible by the following grants and donations: the Bentfinger Foundation, the Community Foundation of Shelby County, the Shelby County United Way, the Monarch Legacy Fund, Steve and Peg Baker, Dan and Jill Francis, Dave and Nancy Russell, Glen and Vanis Phillips, Helen Blake Wildermuth and U.S.Bank.

Romney

BY JOHN SEEWER Associated Press

COLUMBUS (AP) — Vice President Joe Biden is keeping up the attacks on Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney in Ohio Biden said in a speech Thursday at a Columbus union hall that Romney outsourced jobs while running the private equity firm Bain Capital, a claim the Romney campaign has rejected.

Biden also criticized the Republican for opposing President Barack Obama’s bailout of the auto industry.

The vice president was in Ohio to highlight administration’s the support for the auto industry and the increase in Ohio manufacturing jobs.

The pace of campaigning by the two sides in the state has been picking up in recent weeks.

Biden’s trip comes three days after the president held a town hall in Cincinnati. Romney made three stops in Ohio on Wednesday.

TOLEDO (AP) — A 4-year-old girl who went through two years of cancer treatments isn’t being allowed to go on a Make-A-Wish trip to Disney World because her father said she’s in remission and the trips should go to children who are sicker than his daughter.

The young girl, McKenna May of Haskins, had the trip postponed twice while was undergoing treatment for leukemia and finally was set to go in August when the father refused to sign off on the trip, the girl’s mother and grandmother said Thursday.

The family said Make-A-Wish requires signatures from both parents if either have visitation rights or is listed on the birth certificate. McKenna’s parents never married or lived together. Her grandmother said the father only recently received visitation privileges.

McKenna’s mother and grandmother are now collecting donations at local businesses to pay for the trip to Disney on their own. Money has poured in since their story spread beyond northwest Ohio. They haven’t told McKenna why the Make-A-Wish trip was canceled.

“We’ve told her we’re still going to Disney, just not when she thought it was happening,” said her grandmother, Lori Helppie. “We don’t want her judge her father.”

Her father, William May of Toledo, said donations made to the organization should help those who are terminally ill.

“Spend the money on a child who this might be their last memory,” May said Thursday. “Kids who are only going to live a year or six months.”

The girl’s grandmother said that McKenna has had a rough two years and won’t be judged to be free of cancer until five years after her last treatment, which was last month.

OUT OF THE BLUE

Turtles ‘escape’ from farm SUMMERVILLE, Ga. (AP) — More than 1,000 turtles made a slow-speed escape from their turtle farm in northwest Georgia.

Turtle farmer David Driver tells sheriff's officials he suspects vandals might be to blame for tearing down fences around his turtle ponds in Summerville.

Authorities say that allowed the turtles — including snappers, Eastern paints and yellow-bellied sliders — to leave the farm and make a beeline to nearby ponds and creeks.

Driver tells The Chattanooga Times Free Press () that about 1,600 of the 2,200 turtles escaped. He says his business involves selling some turtles to petgrowing operations and others to China.

Sheriff's officials are continuing to search for the turtles.

Summerville, known more as the home of folk artist Howard Finster than it is for turtles, is about 90 miles northwest of Atlanta.

Assad appears on TV BEIRUT (AP) — Syrian President Bashar Assad made his first appearance Thursday since a bomb killed some of his top lieutenants, looking calm and composed on state TV even as his forces turned parts of Damascus into combat zones and rebels seized two of the country’s border crossings.

The unprecedented attack on Assad’s inner circle Wednesday, along with the government’s inability to crush the rebels after five days of intense clashes in the Syrian capital, point to an unraveling of his grip on power after 16 months of violence.

“It is a war going on here, literally a war,” said a 25year-old woman in the Muhajereen neighborhood. The sounds of battle had kept her up all night and she stayed home from work because she feared random gunfire, she added.

“It reminded me of that night when the Americans shelled Baghdad nine years

Russia, China veto resolution UNITED NATIONS (AP) — Russia and China again vetoed a Westernbacked U.N. resolution Thursday aimed at pressuring President Bashar Assad’s government to end the escalating civil war in Syria, sparking dire warnings of even greater bloodshed and spillover to the wider region.

CDC: Whooping cough on the rise

AP Photo/Bulgarian Interior Minstery

THIS IMAGE taken from security video provided by the Bulgarian Interior Ministry Thursday purports to show the unidentified bomber (center) with long hair and wearing a baseball cap, at Burgas Airport in Burgas, Bulgaria, on Wednesday. The brazen daytime bombing that killed seven people and injured dozens on a bus full of Israeli tourists was most likely a suicide attack, Bulgarian officials said Thursday. Israel stood by its claim that Iranian-backed Hezbollah was responsible and vowed to hit back. The identity of the suspected bomber was still unknown but a Michigan driving license that he carried was a fake, Bulgarian Prime Minister Boiko Borisov said.

Police seek bomber’s identity BURGAS, Bulgaria (AP) — He looked like any other impatient tourist checking the big board at airport arrivals: a lanky, long-haired man in a baseball cap with his hands in the pockets of his plaid Bermuda shorts, a bulky backpack hanging from his shoulders.

Minutes later, authorities say, the man, filmed by security cameras at the Burgas airport, would board a bus filled with young Israeli tourists and blow himself up, killing six others as well. Authorities looked Thursday for clues as to who he was, using his fingerprints, his DNA and his fake Michigan driver’s license.

Despite the uncertainty, Israel was quick to blame Iran and its Lebanese ally Hezbollah for the attack Wednesday.

The victims included the Bulgarian bus driver and five Israelis, including a pregnant woman.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the bombing “was carried out by Hezbollah, the long arm of Iran.” Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast called the accusation “baseless,” saying it was aimed at diverting world attention from Israel’s role in the assassination of Iranian nuclear scientists.

Israel has attributed a series of attacks on its citizens around the world in recent months to Iran and its Shiite proxies, threatening to escalate a shadow war between the two arch-enemies that has escalated over Israeli allegations that the Iranians are trying to build nuclear weapons.

ATLANTA (AP) — The U.S. appears headed for its worst year for whooping cough in more than five decades, with the number of cases rising at an epidemic rate that experts say may reflect a problem with the effectiveness of the vaccine.

Nearly 18,000 cases have been reported so far — more than twice the number seen at this point last year, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Thursday. At this pace, the number for the entire year will be the highest since 1959, when 40,000 illnesses were reported.

Nine children have died, and health officials called on adults — especially pregnant women and those who spend time around children — to get a booster shot as soon as possible.

“My biggest concern is for the babies. They’re the ones who get hit the hardest,” said Mary Selecky, chief of the health department in Washington, one of the states with

‘Mad Men’ leads Emmy nods LOS ANGELES (AP) — “Mad Men,” a piercingly bleak portrait of a 1960s American anti-hero, earned a leading 17 Emmy nominations Thursday and the chance to set a new record as the most-honored drama in television history.

AMC’s “Mad Men,” which has won four best drama series trophies and is tied with “Hill Street Blues,” ”L.A. Law” and “The West Wing,” received a fifth bid in the category.

“It’s insane. I can’t believe it,” said “Mad Men” creator Matthew Weiner. “I can’t believe we are on the air. I can’t believe that people don’t call AMC A&E anymore. I’m so proud of the network.”

OIL above $100 per barrel. Western nations are trying force Iran to abandon what the West says are efforts to develop a nuclear weapon.

Tensions eased, and oil prices fell, when Iran agreed to enter negotiations over its nuclear program.

But in the past few weeks, those negotiations appeared to have failed, a U.S. Navy ship fired on a boat in the Persian Gulf and Iran said it has devised a specific plan to block oil shipments.

Then, on Wednesday, seven Israelis were killed in a suicide attack in Bulgaria. Israel blamed Iran for the attack, and vowed to strike back. Iran has denied involvement.

the biggest outbreaks. Washington and Wisconsin have reported more than 3,000 cases each, and high numbers have been seen in a number of other states, including New York, Minnesota, Kansas and Arizona.

Whooping cough has generally been increasing for years, but this year’s spike is startling. Health investigators are trying to figure out what’s going on, and theories include better detection and reporting of cases, some sort of evolution in the bacteria that cause the illness, or shortcomings in the vaccine.

The vaccine that had been given to young children for decades was replaced in the late 1990s following concerns about rashes, fevers and other side effects. While the new version is considered safer, it is possible it isn’t as effective long term, said Dr. Anne Schuchat, who oversees the CDC’s immunization and respiratory disease programs.

received a matching 17 awards, including an acting nod for star Connie Britton.

Other leading nominees include the elegant British-born soap opera “Downton Abbey,” which earned 16 bids, and two miniseries, “Hatfields & McCoys,” with 16, and “Hemingway & Gellhorn” with 15.

“Modern Family,” honored as best comedy series for the past two years, was the sitcom leader with 14 bids and practically ran the table in supporting actor nods, but the comedy realm also saw an infusion of girl power.

Breakout comedies with women at their center — in fashion after the box-office success of “Bridesmaids” — proved alluring to Emmy voters.

From Page 1 tient,” said Tom Kloza, chief oil analyst at the Oil Price Information Service. “This was more than just talk and taunting.”

If oil buyers worry that oil will soon be in short supply, they buy oil futures contracts to lock in the price as insurance against future price spikes. Those purchases drive up benchmark oil prices and can eventually lead to higher prices at the pump.

Brent crude, which is used to benchmark the oil bought by most U.S. refineries, has jumped 21 percent in about a month. On Thursday Brent rose $2.64 to $107.80. Brent hit a low of $89.23 on June 22.

Brent would be most affected by a disruption in the

Middle East because it is used to price seagoing crude that competes with crude shipped through the Persian Gulf. Also Brent, which is priced in London, has been pushed higher by lower oil production in the North Sea. Further increases are possible over the next few weeks, a development drivers are unlikely to welcome.

“It’s going to translate to upward pressure at the pump,” said Jim Ritterbusch, an independent oil trader and analyst.

But the rise won’t likely be dramatic — or long-lived. The growth in global demand for oil has weakened in recent months as the economies of the West have sputtered and

China’s economic growth has slowed. And oil supplies remain high because output has risen in Saudi Arabia, Libya, the U.S. and elsewhere.

“There’s stagnant demand, and lots of supply,” said Judith Dwarkin, chief energy economist at ITG Investment Research.

That leads analysts to think that prices won’t skyrocket unless supplies are disrupted by Middle East violence or a hurricane in the Gulf of Mexico.

Kloza doesn’t see gasoline rising much beyond $3.50 for the rest of the summer. After that, he says, gasoline prices could fall sharply as supplies increase and refiners switch to cheaper winter blends of fuel.

ers. It was fun to watch the parade. There were firetrucks, horses, and little ponies. They look so cute. Also some race cars. My sister Susan has a new miniature pony that she is training for someone. The pony’s name is Tiny Tim. He is still a little rowdy. Susan is line-driving him.

Susan is a good trainer because she has a lot of patience. Even if she comes home late from detasseling corn all day, she wants to work with the pony. I don’t know what else to write now.

Thank you for all your prayers and encouragement. God bless you.

fully understand what it means. When we were at the lake, I went in the water a lot. At first, I needed help getting out because I fell sometimes.

My nice, kind sisters, Elizabeth, Susan, and Verena, would help me get out. One time, Verena was helping me out and we were almost out of the water and my knee gave up. I grabbed Verena and she wasn’t wearing her brace to support her and we both fell back into the lake.

We laughed about it and thought it was funny.

One time, Susan was helping me and my knee started giving out, but Susan just pulled me back up. I don’t know what I would do without their help. One night, when Susan’s friend, Mose, was there, we took Dad’s boat to go fishing.

Mose, Susan, Verena and I fished even after it was dark. It was fun even if we didn’t have much luck. Susan had a fish on her hook and instead of taking it off, she flipped it into the boat. It flipped right into Mose’s face and we all laughed about that.

Then I thought I had a big fish and pulled the line in. It was a bunch of weeds. It was their turn to all laugh and we had a lot of fun.

July 4, sister Elizabeth and her friend, Timothy, asked me to go to the parade in town.

Sister Lovina also went with us. We got a lot of candy from the parade, but we took it back and shared it with our broth-

DR. WALLACE: Please answer my question. Why do teens choose to join a gang? Is it because misery loves company? — Nameless, Merrillville, Ind. NAMELESS: There are many reasons why teens join a gang, but the prime reason is that the gang offers its members a feeling that they are accepted. Many gang members, for one reason or another, lack self-confidence and have a low self-esteem. Some gang members were also loners who had a difficult time being accepted socially by their peers. These teens think that joining a gang will erase all these deficiencies and, hopefully, give them a feeling of importance and status.

Unfortunately, it also provides some members with the opportunity to destroy their lives and the lives of others when they become overzealous with their newfound “power” and acceptance.

Often, anti-social acts are committed by a gang member who, if not in a gang, would never have committed these acts.

LETTER

TO THE EDITOR

Wants everyone to have chance to vote To the editor: Recently someone tried to slam me with a comment about the KKK. In response, I would like to state some historical facts.

The KKK began in the south as six men did not want to forget their fallen patriots in the Civil War. Innocent enough, but this attracted others who wanted a little more mischief and mayhem.

Soon, the group led assaults against any black or white Republican.

The southern white aristocracy did not want to lose power. They visited people late at night, threatening and intimidating them to sway their vote. We all know where some of these things led: violence and even death, as in the case of John “Print” Matthews, who wanted every person to have the right to vote.

One quote is, “The

KKK was created to systematically terrorize and forcefully control the opposition.”

by Democratic politicians, created the 1890 state constitution which included many stifling restrictions for blacks.

Eastern Auglaize County.

“Tom gets up at 3:30 a.m. [each day]….the produce needs to be picked within 24 hours…to be fresh for the consumers,” said Tammy who has been a farmer’s wife for over three decades. Most often, their leftover product is either donated to Lima’s Our Daily Bread Soup Kitchen or to the food pantry at Mercy Unlimited.

Tammy’s 55-year-old husband has been farming since the early seventies. He has also been a dedicated part of the Great Sidney Farmers’ Market for almost 25 years. Their five children grew up assisting their dad at the market with Tammy helping sporadically.

To Marlene Smelewski, individuals like the Browns are integral to the event’s success. “They have been a part of planning…I have 14 core vendors who are part of that group,” she said. The vendor roster boasts a total of approximately 45 merchants now, with some renting more than one space. Almost at capacity, but the event’s organizer says there are still available rentals for growers, crafters, bakers, etc.

The history of the market is sketchy, although it has always been held at the square.

Smelewski believes that it began 30 years ago with, “A few different farmers with carts, and a few Amish women [bakers].”

The market just evolved. After all, when everything else in the

world goes awry, it’s comforting to buy fresh produce, mouthwatering jam, or delicious baked goods. “A lot of people who visit the market, rely on them to be there every weekend,” Smelewski said. The vendors, “….seem to enjoy the camaraderie and interaction with customers and each other…it’s become kind of a family.”

Tammy Brown likes the fellowship, but she also has a passion to educate others about making healthy food choices.

“It’s important for people to know where your food comes from, to eat healthy and eat local…and I love sharing ways you can use it,” said the Auglaize county merchant.

“It’s a tradition that people look forward to,” said Maureen Smelewski. “I’ve made it such a huge part of my life. It’s something I hope goes for another 30 years…it’s one of those rare gems we’ve been able to succeed and keep going.”

How about three cheers for the Great Sidney Farmers’ Market vendors? Or better yet, since area farmers would need a miracle to salvage their crops, why not say a little prayer for them and for more rain. After all, when they have a tough season, these stalwart cultivators of God’s Earth just hope the next one will be better.

One way this is happening is through the Agriculture is Cool! program at the Ohio State Fair. At the governor’s direction, the Ohio Department of Agriculture, Ohio Expo Commission and Ohio Farm Bureau are helping to revitalize an interest in agriculture and educating young people about agriculture through interactive exhibits, such as milking a real cow, riding a tractor simulator, interacting with baby animals, and learning about livestock.

This year marks the second year of the program that will run at the Ohio State Fair, July 25-Aug. 5. Those who completed the fourth grade this school year can bring their grade card, which will get them and a chaperone into the fair for free. While they are there, they will enjoy the fair and learn about agriculture.

They can also write an essay about their experience for a chance to win a $500 scholarship. Although the program is geared toward fourth-graders, people of all ages are encouraged to participate in the displays and to learn about why agriculture is cool. To learn more about the Agriculture is Cool! program, go to www.agri.ohio.gov/agis

We want to dispel the myths about a misunderstood industry and expose people to a side of agriculture they have probably never seen before. We can only hope that this will end up being one of those experiences that will have a lasting impact on a young person’s life. There’s no denying that agriculture is here to stay.

Agriculture was the foundation on which the state of Ohio was built. Today, the food and agriculture industry is just as important as ever, adding $105 billion to the state’s economy and providing one in seven Ohioans with jobs. As we continue to find new uses for our crops and the many products made from them, this industry will continue to carry our state into a prosperous future. That means more jobs and a better quality of life.

I was fortunate enough to know my direction in life involved agriculture. From the time I was 12 years old I knew I wanted to be a farmer. But you don’t have to be a farmer to reap the benefits of an agriculture-related job; there is tremendous opportunity for those not born into this industry.

So, what do you want to be when you grow up? For a solid future, you can bet on agriculture.

Russia woman prepares for Susan G. Komen walk

BY TERRY PELLMAN RUSSIA — A Russia woman is preparing for a three-day event to raise awareness of issues relating to breast cancer.

Suzette Vastano will be taking part in the 2012 Susan G. Komen Chicago 3-Day walk to take place Aug. 10-12.

The participation is a personal one for Vastano.

She is taking part to honor her mother, Becky Ayers, of the Houston area. Becky is married to Art Ayers and is currently battling the disease. She was diagnosed in 2004. The entire family has been through some very difficult times. Vastano’s brother died suddenly in the fall of 2005.

She explains, “When my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer, I felt helpless. Sixty miles is no easy task, but this is something I can do —

Vastano

Ayers

something I must do.

She is my hero and has taught me how to be strong during the worst of days. I do not want anyone else to have to go through this; this is why I am walking.”

Participants will walk 20 miles a day for three days. Vastano says that they will stay in tents for two nights. The walk will travel all through downtown Chicago, including along the lakeshore.

Becky and Art will bring her children to Chicago to watch her walk across the finish line.

To take part, Vastano must raise a total of $2,300. She still needs to raise around $1,200. To

help out, you can donate to her cause by visiting Or, www.the3day.org. you can call (800) 9963DAY. The other option is to mail donations to Suzette Vastano c/o The 3-day, 1534 Rangeline Road, Russia, OH 45363.

Vastano had wanted to do this for some time.

She decided this was the year, and she began planning in January. To get ready for such a trek, she is walking daily to get into condition. Although she has not run regularly for the past two years, she did frequently run in 5K races in Shelby County and Minster.

The Chicago Komen event begins on Friday morning, Aug. 10, and ends with a closing ceremony on the afternoon of Sunday, Aug. 12. Hundreds of volunteers will be on hand to provide supportive services.

The funds raised are

Cemetery renovated

BY TERRY PELLMAN HARDIN — The Brookside Cemetery south of Hardin is undergoing some renovation.

The recent wreaked windstorm havoc on some trees at the burial site, and many needed to be cleared out.

In the course of having that clean-up conducted, Turtle Creek Township Trustees decided to address multiple issues.

It was fortunate that the trees did not damage any headstones, but six trees came down in the storm. The trustees contracted with Jerry Christman, who does tree and landscape work, to tend to the trees. The township has been using his services for nine years including other cemetery work. After some further discussion, they decided to have him do additional improvements, much of which is being done on a volunteer basis.

Trustee Mike Eilerman explains that he and fellow Trustees Doug Ike and Ed Seger decided that it was time to have new gravel put on the driveways. In addition, they gave Christman the okay to have the iron fence pressurewashed, and painted. He is also painting the old caretaker’s building. It had been around ten years since any major work had been done at Brookside.

Eilerman noted that the trustees have a long-term commitment to caring for the cemetery. He says that there is an average of two burials there per year. Some of the oldest headstones have shifted, and have been reset by Marion Leapley, who has expended much time and effort getting markers back in place.

While Christman was contracted to do some of the work, he is also simply donating much of his time and some materials, such as paint, to what he considers a special project. He emphasizes that those who rest in a cemetery deserve to have their burial sites cared for and respected.

He is concerned that the general public not forget that there are a

used for educating the public about breast cancer and early detection. Other use of the funds includes the sponsoring of such events. The funds are also put forth for breast cancer research. Vastano learned of the walk while reading an email that directed her to a website on breast cancer.

In addition to Chicago, cities hosting the 3-Day Walks include Boston, Cleveland, the Twin Cities, San Francisco, Seattle, Atlanta, Tampa Bay, Dallas-Fort Worth, Philadelphia and San Diego. Among the primary corporate sponsors of the event are Bank of America and the athletic shoe firm New Balance.

The Susan G. Komen Foundation was named after a breast cancer victim and was founded by her sister, Nancy G. Brinker. The organization operates on a worldbasis. wide Approximately 425,000 around the world died of the disease in 2010. Special focus is placed upon countries in which medical technology is not as advanced as in the United States, Vastano, an employee of Amos Press, is also attending school and is the busy mother of two children, Lindsey Vastano and Gunnar Young.

Vastano says that she is open to doing the walk again and entertains the possibility her children could take part.

BROOKSIDE CEMETERY, just south of Hardin, has undergone an extensive facelift after being damaged during the storms. lot of largely unvisited gravesites that hold the remains of military veterans. He would like to gather additional community support for the care of older cemeteries such as Brookside. He notes that volunteers are a major factor in such preservation, as funds are not there to provide everything the hired caretakers need. He would like to see a county-wide organized effort, and invites interested people to contact him at (937) 538-6870.

One facet of cemetery care is the treatment of the surfaces of old headstones that were manufactured in an era of less durable materials. As an example, some of the burials at Brookside were those of Civil War soldiers whose markers were made from sandstone, a material less able than modern granite stones to withstand weather and time.

He explains that products are now available to seal and preserve such old markers, but to do so requires funding.

He feels that many of those buried there sacrificed for the future generations who should in turn make some small sacrifice to care for their resting places.

The cemetery holds the remains of many War

veterans, including one from the Spanish-American War. He emphasizes that the public needs to do more than simply state their appreciation of veterans who have passed on, and provide some time and effort to honor their service.

Christman points out that Brookside was also the site of a Presbyterian Church. Some sidewalk portions and a marker are all that remains. The area must be subject to the effects of wind, as that church was destroyed in a windstorm Christman is likely to be busy at Brookside for some time, as he has taken an intense inters in the cemetery. When he went with a friend to check out the cemetery, they became so interested in the historical gravesites that they spent a couple of hours just studying the information on the markers.

Christman was contracted to take out six damaged trees. He went on to find several more that needed removed, so he donated his services for those additional ones.

Christman states, “That cemetery reflects Shelby County.” He points out that those interred there include people who were involved in agriculture as well as the military.

Raterman excited about chance to play basketball in Portugal KYLE SHANER Ohio Community Media kshaner@dailyadvocate.com VERSAILLES — Justine Raterman is just going with the flow, which soon will take her across seas to Portugal.

Raterman, a graduate of Versailles High School, signed a contact this past week to play for CAB Madeira of the Portugal-Liga Feminina, a 12team professional basketball league in Portugal. She said it’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and an offer she couldn’t pass up.

“I’m very excited. It’s an amazing opportunity,” Raterman said. “It’s not something that many people get to experience, so I’m really looking forward to it.”

It was just in the past year and a half that Raterman began to contemplate a professional basketball career, she said. After finishing her senior season this past spring at the University of Dayton – where she set program records of career points (1,832), career rebounds (915), career field goals made (674) and career free throws made (300, tied for first) – she hired an agent who explored oppor-

tunities for her.

Raterman’s choices came down to either playing for the team in Portugal or one in Spain.

“It was just an overall better opportunity, better contract,” the forward said about her choice to join the Portuguese squad. “And I’ve heard a lot of good things about the league from people who play over there and kind of went with my gut.”

Raterman enjoys traveling, she said, but has never been to Europe and doesn’t know anyone over there now, although she knows people who have played in the Portuguese league, including former Dayton teammate Kendel Ross.

She’s heard a lot of the coaches and players in the Portuguese league speak English, but she’s not sure if that’s true for her new team. She doesn’t speak any Portuguese.

“That’s one thing that I’m going to have to work on, for sure,” Raterman said.

Raterman still is learning about her new team. She had heard the team was looking to add a second American to its roster but was unsure if the roster is complete or not.

She does know the team has had success as this past season CAB Madeira finished fourth in the Portugal-Liga Feminina during the regular season and advanced to the semifinals of the league championship.

“I’ve heard that they have a great reputation,” Raterman said. “It sounds to me like a pretty good team.”

The Portuguese league’s season typically begins in October and lasts until May, Raterman said. She’ll report to Portugal in September for training camp.

Raterman’s new team is located on an island in Portugal. The team travels to the mainland a couple times a month for a series of games.

Raterman is excited about getting to immerse herself in a new culture and being somewhere on her own, she said.

She hasn’t made any longterm plans, rather she just wants to go with the flow and see how she likes playing overseas.

“This kind of came across rather quickly for me,” she said. “Right now I’m just going to play it by ear and see how it goes.”

Phillips powers Reds to win

TAMPA BAY Rays’ Jeff Keppinger (right) slides into third base with a triple ahead of the tag

by Cleveland Indians third baseman Jose Lopez during the third inning of a baseball game, Thursday in St. Petersburg, Fla.

Lucky 13: Price throws gem ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — David Price threw another gem.

Price became the AL’s first 13-game winner, B.J. Upton had three RBIs, and the Tampa Bay Rays beat the Cleveland Indians 6-0 on Thursday.

Price (13-4) allowed two hits over seven innings. The AllStar left-hander had seven strikeouts and three walks.

“I’d say he’s in the top two or three (AL pitchers), no question,” Rays manager Joe Maddon said. “From a purely selfish perspective, I’d say he is the best right now.”

Price has won five consecutive decisions.

“That’s why I felt that (Wednesday’s) win was so important for us, because you really don’t want come into the last game of the series trying to tie the series against David Price,” Indians manager Manny Acta said. “He overpowered us. We just didn’t have good at-bats against him.”

Upton hit a three-run double off Ubaldo Jimenez (8-9) during a four-run sixth that put the Rays up 5-0. After getting two outs, Jimenez loaded the bases before giving up Upton’s shot down the thirdbase line. Upton scored on Carlos Pena’s RBI single.

Jimenez allowed five runs and seven hits in 5 2-3 innings.

He struck out five and walked five.

Wade Davis pitched the final two innings and completed a two-hitter for the Rays.

After Carlos Santana walked to start the fifth, Jose Lopez lined a single to center for the Indians’ first hit. Price, however, was able to work out of the jam, aided by Santana getting thrown out attempting to steal third during a doublesteal try.

“My fastball’s gotten better,” Price said. “I have more velocity; it’s consistent throughout the entire game. The curveball’s better and my cutter is more consistent right now. I throw my changeup whenever I need to and that’s a little tougher for those guys.”

Jeff Keppinger made it 6-0 on a seventh-inning run-scoring double.

Luke Scott put the Rays up 1-0 on a third-inning solo homer. He is 14 for 33 in eight games against Cleveland since the weekend before the AllStar break, while going hitless in 38 at-bats in 12 games against all other teams.

“It’s a very comfortable feeling when you have the lead out there, even if it’s one,” Price said. “They’ve done a very good job for me this year of scoring runs early and I appreciate it.

Honestly I feel like we’ve

played our best baseball when I’ve been on the mound.”

The Rays loaded the bases with two outs in the first, but failed to score when the struggling Hideki Matsui struck out. After hitting homers in two of his first three games with the Rays, Matsui is 12 for 79.

Jimenez helped himself defensively in the fourth by fielding Sean Rodriguez’s bunt and tagging out Desmond Jennings, who tried to score from third, at the plate.

“I thought Ubaldo battled well for us,” Acta said. “He gave us five innings to do something, to score runs, and we couldn’t do it.”

Tampa Bay second baseman Ben Zobrist made a nice running catch in shallow center on Shin-Soo Choo’s soft liner leading off the first.

Notes: Price is 5-0 overall against Cleveland. … Rays C Jose Molina swiped second in the second for his first stolen base of the year and 13th overall. … Indians OF Michael Brantley was the DH. “Something to get Michael off his feet today,” Acta said. … Tampa Bay RF Matt Joyce has soreness and was out of the lineup after playing consecutive days.

He had missed 23 games due to a left oblique strain before returning Tuesday from the 15-day DL.

CINCINNATI (AP) — Brandon Phillips felt Cincinnati’s fans were a bit premature in their booing, so he took it upon himself to turn the jeers into cheers.

The second baseman homered and had a season-high five RBIs, then scored the goahead run in the seventh inning on Todd Frazier’s single to help the Reds rally from a six-run deficit in a 7-6 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Thursday.

“If you’re going to boo, wait until the game’s over,” said Phillips, who Cincinnati to its first win after trailing by as many as six runs since wiping out a 6-0 deficit to beat Washington 8-7 on May 21, 2007.

“We feed off the fans.”

Arizona led 6-3 with one out in the seventh when reliever Bryan Shaw (1-4) walked pinch-hitter Xavier Paul and leadoff batter Drew Stubbs.

Wilson Valdez’s grounder skipped under the glove of first baseman Paul Goldschmidt for a run-scoring

error, setting up Phillips’ tying two-run double to leftcenter field.

Phillips moved to third on Jay Bruce’s groundout to Goldschmidt against reliever Mike Zagurski and scored on Frazier’s single to left off Brad Ziegler.

“That was pretty fun, especially after the beginning,” Frazier said. “We were a little dead. Brandon got us going.”

Alfredo Simon (2-1) allowed one hit in 1 2-3 innings for the win. Logan Ondrusek and Sean Marshall combined to pitch a scoreless eighth and Aroldis Chapman pitched the ninth for his 15th save as the Reds salvaged a split of the four-game series and moved a half-game ahead of idle Pittsburgh in the NL Central.

The Reds improved to 2-2 in their first four games without All-Star first baseman Joey Votto, who underwent arthroscopic surgery on Tuesday to repair a torn meniscus in his left knee. They also See REDS/Page 16

Shatto to be honored at Shady Bowl rolls on today with MotorShatto/Gross sports as owners.

Thobe wins Frydell tournament TROY — Connor Thobe looked across the court at an opponent half his size — and was smart enough to be a bit on edge.

“Yeah, I was a bit nervous,” the incoming Lehman High School freshman said. “I played against him yesterday in doubles, and they beat us. I knew what he could do.”

So he didn’t let Nick Brumbaugh get rolling in the boys 14u singles title match at the Frydell Junior Tennis Tournament July 13 at Troy Community Park, closing out a 6-0, 6-0 victory in his first-ever summer tournament attempt.

“This is my first year playing (in the Frydell), and my first tournament in general,” Thobe said.

“Yeah, it definitely feels good.”

For 12-year-old Brum-

baugh — who also teamed with 10-year-old Nathan Brumbaugh and reached the final match of the boys 18u doubles bracket, it meant a pair of runner-up finishes despite facing some tall — literally — competition.

“It felt a little weird, but I wasn’t scared,” he said when asked about playing such older, bigger foes. “Yeah, it was (fun).”

And he also plans on building on the experience by coming back next year.

“Yeah, I will,” Brumbaugh said.

As for Thobe, he has no plans to retire undefeated from tournament play.

“No way,” he said with a laugh. “I plan on trying out for the Lehman team, and I definitely want to come back here next year.”

have 22 come-frombehind wins.

“The Reds are a very resilient team,” Arizona manager Kirk Gibson said.

Phillips, who usually bats fourth, finally got going in Votto’s normal No. 3 spot. He was a combined 3-for-11 with one RBI in the first three games since manager Dusty Baker moved him up a notch.

“Brandon can hit all over the order,” Baker said. “He’s the only guy we’ve got who can do that. This lets you know you can come back. It shows us what we can do without Joey. You’ve just got to keep doing what you can do.”

The Diamondbacks scored in the first inning

for the third time in the four-game series. Willie Bloomquist led off the game with a single to right field, stole second as Aaron Hill was striking out and scored on Goldschmidt’s two-out single to center.

They made it 2-0 in the third on Bloomquist’s leadoff double to right field and Hill’s RBI single to right that extended his hitting streak to 10 games.

Hill added his 13th homer of the season, a 395-foot solo shot into the left field seats, with one out in the fifth. The Diamondbacks added three in the sixth, including Henry Blanco’s two-run homer, his first since Sept. 28 against the Dodgers.

N THIS April 18 file photo, Spain’s Rafael Nadal reacts after defeating Finland's Jarkko Nieminen in the Monte Carlo Tennis Masters tournament in Monaco. Nadal said Thursday that he won’t compete in the tennis event of the London 2012 Olympics.

Nadal pulls out of Olympics MADRID (AP) — Defending Olympic tennis champion Rafael Nadal pulled out of the London Games on Thursday with an undisclosed injury.

“I am not in condition to compete in the London Olympics and therefore will not travel as planned with the Spanish delegation to take part in the games,” the third-ranked Spaniard said in a statement.

Nadal did not mention any specific injury, but he canceled a charity match in Madrid on July 4 because of tendon problems in his left knee. He has had recurring knee problems in the past.

Nadal has not played since losing in the second round of Wimbledon to then 100th-ranked Lukas Rosol, one of the most surprising results in the tournament’s history.

“I have to think about my companions, I can’t be selfish and I have to think of what’s best for Spanish sport, especially tennis and Spanish players, and give fellow sportsmen with better preparation the chance to compete,” he said. “I tried to hurry my preparations and training to the very last minute, but it was not to be.”

Nadal, who won the singles tournament at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, was set to be the flag bearer for Spain during the opening ceremony. “(This) is one of the saddest days of my career as one of my biggest ambitions, that of being Spain’s flag bearer in the opening ceremony of the games in London, cannot be,” Nadal said. “You can imagine how difficult it was to take this decision.”

Ayers, Daugherty, Martin to join Hall of Fame COLUMBUS (AP) — The Ohio Basketball Hall of Fame will induct 11 players and coaches who starred in the state including Miami’s Randy Ayers and Wally Szczerbiak, the Cleveland Cavaliers’ Brad Daugherty, the University of Cincinnati’s Kenyon Martin and UConn’s Tamika Williams Raymond.

The rest of the inductees include prep coach Fran Guilbault,

Ohio U.’s Howard Joliff, Louisville’s Jim Morgan, coach Ron Niekamp and his University of Findlay 2009 Division II champs, UConn’s Barbara Turner, the University of Dayton’s Bill Uhl, in addition to Dayton Belmont’s1964 boys state prep championship team.

Inductee Steve Trout was picked by his fellow officials.

The ceremony will be in May 2013.

Olympic team beats Britain MANCHESTER, England (AP) — Carmelo Anthony and Deron Williams responded to a lineup change with 19 points apiece, and the U.S. men’s Olympic basketball team beat Britain 118-78 on Thursday in an exhibition game.

LeBron James added 16 points and Russell Westbrook had 15 for the Americans, who built a 40-point lead early in the fourth quarter against their inexperienced and overmatched opponent, and every basket from there seemed to be a dunk.

U.S. coach Mike Krzyzewski changed up his starting lineup, inserting Kevin Durant for Anthony, and Williams for

Chris Paul, and both Anthony and Williams flourished in their new roles.

Williams, who couldn’t scrimmage with the Americans when they opened camp because he hadn’t signed his $98 million extension with the Nets yet, made 7-of-8 shots, going 5 of 6 from 3point range and adding five assists.

Anthony came in for Durant in the first quarter — apparently unnoticed to the PA announcer, who credited Durant with the Knicks forward’s first basket — and shook off the change well after being a starter in three previous years with the national team and both exhibitions this year.

In the wake of the scandal at Penn State, the Big Ten Conference is considering a plan to give its commissioner the power to punish schools with financial sanctions, suspensions and even the ability to fire coaches.

An 18-page plan being circulated among Big Ten leadership raises the possibility of giving Commissioner Jim Delany such authority, the Chronicle of Higher Education reported Thursday, citing a document it had obtained.

The Big Ten did not respond to requests for comment, but confirmed that the proposal — titled “Standards and Procedures for Safeguarding Institutional Control of Intercollegiate Athletics” — is being discussed.

“It is a working document intended to generate ideas, not draw conclusions,” according to an email sent from Big Ten headquarters to people in the league. “One provision in the document addresses ‘emergency authority of the commissioner’ - it is just one of many ideas.”

Former Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky was recently convicted of sexually abusing 10 boys, sometimes on campus. A report commissioned by Penn State said school leaders, including the late coach Joe Paterno, ignored allegations more than a decade ago to avoid bad publicity, allowing Sandusky to prey on other boys for years.

Paterno’s family said he never participated in an

attempt to cover up wrongdoing.

The NCAA and U.S. Education Department are investigating Penn State for potential rules and policy violations; the issue of “institutional control” is believed to be a key part of the NCAA probe, since problems there can lead to athletic penalties. The Chronicle said the Big Ten is still discussing how to handle fallout from the scandal at one of its member schools; currently, its 12member Council of Presidents and Chancellors must approve any decision to suspend or expel one of the league’s schools.

Whether Delany would ever be granted the power to fire coaches or punish schools was unknown. The Big Ten email said the council would have to approve such a sweeping change.

Michigan athletic director Dave Brandon said the scandal has school presidents and ADs looking at ways to improve oversight and control.

“A lot of things have been discussed, but I have not been party to any conversation that would suggest the commissioner would have unilateral power to fire coaches,” Brandon told The Associated Press.

“That’s kind of out of left field, and I don’t think the commissioner would want that kind of power.

But what sounds reasonable to me is to create a mechanism in which the commissioner along with a committee of presidents and athletic directors had more oversight and control.”

Botkins school board approves bus routes BOTKINS — During its July meeting, the Botkins Board of Education approved bus routes for the 2012-13 school year and learned the new bus has arrived and passed inspection along with other bus fleet units.

Superintendent Connie Schneider reported the school district has received a $48,000 AVID College and Career Readiness grant and that annexation of the Hageman property has been submitted to Shelby County Commissioners for approval.

The board also learned the new Ohio Teacher Evaluation System will be fully implemented by the 2014-15 school year.

The board employed Brooke McGowan as girls varsity soccer assistant coach and Brooke Luthman as junior high cheerleader adviser. Jacquelyn Russell was employed as a science teacher on a one-year probationary contract and the board also approved the employment of Andrea Koenig as media specialist, Harold Poppe as substitute media specialist and Michael Jones as maintenance supervisor.

The resignations of Kerrie Smith and Andy Rammel were accepted by the board and administrative contracts were approved for Jody Jones, Jeff McPheron and Art Zimpfer.

The board accepted a donation of $150 in memory of Marie Behr and approved transportation to Massachusetts on Sept. 13-16 for the FFA livestock judging team.

The following substitute teachers were employed: Krystal Gates, Sue Carter, Carolyn Jensvold, David Jensvold, Dwight Schmiesing, Whitney Rogers, Michael VanBrocklin, Harold Poppe, Kristen Higgins, Jennifer Van Skyock and Elizabeth Rinehart.

Then-and-now purchase orders totaling $24,387.50 were approved by the board.

The meeting included an executive session to discuss employment of personnel.

Council OKs appropriations changes JACKSON CENTER — Jackson Center Village Council, during its first July meeting, adopted as emergency legislation an ordinance authorizing adjustments in annual appropriations for the year ending Dec. 31.

Village Administrator Bruce Metz reported adjustments are needed in three general fund areas, parks, administrative offices and contractual services within the capital improvement fund.

The legislation authorizes an increase of $625 for parks maintenance to cover the costs of repairs related to restroom building vandalism and $2,325 to administrative offices to pay the remainder of the cost of redesigning the village website.

The park building invoice will be forwarded to Police Chief Joe Cotterman so parents of the vandals may be billed for the cost.

A third adjustment requested by Metz increases contractual services under transportation in the amount of

$17,700 enabling the village to pay for overages in the West Street reconstruction project. Metz attributed overages in the $282,000 project to $9,000 in additional engineering costs, $5,000 for concrete and $11,000 extra for seeding and mulching The project’s original bid price was $235,733 and a total of $250,000 was appropriated. Council voted to suspend the three-reading rule to pass the ordinance on first reading.

Metz updated council on effects of the recent windstorm, reported one 50foot power pole plus wire and hardware down in the 200 block of Linden Street, a power outage on West College Street that affected five homes with 24 hours overtime, and $3,405.43 damage to a 20-foot swimming pool umbrella.

He also told council in-ground residual from the recent ammonia spill, when last checked, was 9 parts per million, with village costs to date totaling $5,866.31.

Discussing open-burning issues, Metz presented a form the city of Sidney uses for open-burning investigations. Mayor Scott Klopfenstein said the Safety Committee would like to see a village ordinance giving police authority to issue open-burning citations.

Fiscal Officer Bev Wren referred council members to Regional Income Tax Agency reports given them prior to the meeting. She said RITA each year will send the village information on collections the previous year and the amount it cost the agency to make collections. In 2010, collection costs were $14,629 or 2.27 percent of total collections. Last year, collection costs were $14,485 or 2.07 percent of total collections.

The meeting included an executive session to discuss purchase or sale of real estate and pending litigation. No action was taken prior to adjournment.

Council’s next meeting will be Monday at 7 p.m.
