CALEB BODENMILLER, 11, of Fort Loramie, trudges through the water surrounding his family’s trailer at the Shelby County Fairgrounds Tuesday, where he is showing steer in the Junior
Fair show. Heavy rain kept people trying to find cover in the morning until it stopped around 1 p.m. Caleb is the son of Joe and Tracy Bodenmiller.
Rain, sun greet fairgoers BY LEE JONES Torrential rains doused Sidney through the afternoon and took a toll on fair attendance. Despite the dampness, seniors attended the day’s programs and there was a good showing, according to Barb Heilers. “We were blessed the shows still happened,” she said, “The rides were down and a couple areas were flooded.” There was plenty of smeared mud on the pavement and significant puddles down the midway. “It was a little hard for the shuttles,” Heilers said of senior day trans-
portation, “I felt bad for the seniors.” As the afternoon rolled along, more and more cars rolled in, many of them brimming over with people. It was carload night after all. The rides were closed for a significant portion of the day. But the sun re-emerged and so did the youngsters, eager to spin and fly upsidedown. Monday’s attendance was lower than last year’s Monday attendance by about 300 people. On the other hand, Sunday’s attendance was significantly higher than last year’s Sunday crowd. No incidents were reported on Tuesday.

Council revisits costly EPA mandates BY TOM BARNETT tbarnett@sdnccg.com Acting Utilities Director Brian Schultz updated Sidney City Council Monday night on the city’s compliance with Ohio EPA-mandated wastewater treatment plant improvements that include new disinfection requirements and elimination of secondary bypasses. “These items are of concern
to staff and will likely require large capital investments,” Schultz explained. “Staff considers these unfunded mandates that will result in sewer rate increases to accommodate capital needs.” City staff has been discussing compliance and preliminary costs estimates with council since June, 2011. Schultz reported staff has installed, maintained and collected data from seven exist-
ing sewer meters since 2011 and the city’s consultant is building the first phase of the sewer model. The work, he said, will identify and prioritizes tributaries for inflow and infiltration investigation and quantify water flows at the water plant. He said the city’s best compliance option is to expand the wastewater plant to eliminate most by pass and make sewer improvements, also expand-
ing I&I reduction efforts. Schultz estimated compliance could cost the city as much as $34 million to $44.5 million. Schultz told council city staff will begin discussion with EPA on negotiated improvements next month with a plan to meet compliance due to OEPA in February 2013. The city must comply with all mandates by January 2016, he said. See COUNCIL/Page 20A
County unemployment rate: 7.1% in June BY RACHEL LLOYD rlloyd@sdnccg.com Shelby County’s unemployment rate rose slightly in June, according to the latest statistics from the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services, Bureau of Labor division, released Tuesday. The unemployment rate for June was 7.1 percent for Shelby County, up from 6.8 per-
cent in May, but that percentage increase is based solely on an increase in the size of the labor pool rather than a loss of jobs. It also reflects a significant improvement over the same month in 2011, in which a 9.5 percent unemployment rate was recorded. Shelby County’s total labor force numbers officially 24,200, with 22,500 of those employed and 1,700 unemployed
in June. The number of people employed did not change from May, but the size of the labor pool increased by 100, accounting for the rise in the unemployed percentage. Mike Dodds, executive director of the West Ohio Development Council, sees the stable numbers as encouraging. “Overall, it’s good news,” Dodds said. See UNEMPLOYMENT/Page 20A

Robert Lee Dickerscheid
Robert Lee Dickerscheid, 88, passed away on Thursday, July 19, 2012. He was able to spend his last weeks pain free and peacefully in his own home in Westerville, which he shared with his daughter, Jane Gardner. Family was everything to Robert. His best friend and son, Robert (Bobby) Dickerscheid and grandchild, Kate Gardner (both residents of Columbus and Westerville, respectively) were able to constantly be by his side during his last two weeks. He was the kind of dad that brought home a paycheck and was comfortable as Mr. Mom. The love of his life, Betty (Nickel) Dickerscheid of Middletown, preceded him in death in Sidney on Oct. 29, 2009. The love of family cannot be overstated when it comes to his family of origin. He was the son of the late Albert and Hallie Mae (Mains) Dickerscheid. Preceding him in death were his brother Albert and his sisters, Edna, Margaret, Hallie and Norma. Surviving brothers, Herman, Harold and Richard were always close to his heart as were sisters, Betty, Mary and Deanna. As a part of The Hamilton Big Blue Graduating Class of 1943, Robert was most proud of his achievements in track and football.

Mom: Soldier was fulfilling dream BY DAVID FONG Ohio Community Media fong@tdnpublishing.com TROY (AP) — Sandy Wheelock stared down at the tiny figure standing in front of her, clad from head-to-toe in a black ninja costume. From behind the black ninja mask, with eyes beaming, came a muffled voice: “I checked everything out, Mom. Everything is OK.” “He would always wear that little ninja costume with a wooden spoon tucked in his belt because I didn’t like guns,” Wheelock said. “He would play outside and when he would come in, he would tell me, ‘I checked everything out, Mom. Everything is OK.’ He was always worried about protecting me. His whole life, that’s how he was — he was always worried about protecting his mom and his sisters.” That was more than 15 years ago, when Jeffrey Rice was a young man growing up in Troy. On July 19, Army Private First Class Rice, 24, lost his life while serving in Afghanistan as a part of Operation Enduring Freedom. Early Sunday morning, Wheelock was at Dover Air Force Base in Delaware to greet her son’s body as it arrived from the Middle East. Funeral services still are pending and the United States Department of Defense has yet to reveal any details regarding his death. “All they will say is that they still have to do the investigation and the
autopsy,” Wheelock said. “I really don’t know any details — and I don’t think I want to know any details.” While details of his death may be unknown, those who knew Rice best are willing to offer plenty of details about his life. His mother remembers him as a voracious eater who would devour her homemade Rice Krispie treats by the pan and consume packages of Ramen noodles by the half-dozen. She said he “loved fishing, looking at the stars through this big telescope he had and drinking beer.” Much more than any of that, however, the people in his life — particularly the women in his life, his mother, aunt, sisters and nieces — remember him as someone who always put family first and looked to protect his loved ones. Even while stationed in Afghanistan, Rice would frequently call and write to check up on his nieces, Ali, Kristen and Makayla. Rice also grew up loving football. He played his first two years in high school and, entering his junior season in the fall of 2005, the 6-foot2, 220-pound Rice appeared ready to assume a starting role along the offensive line for a powerhouse Troy team that had just been to the playoffs the year before. Just before the season started, however, Rice gave it all up to help take care of his family. Rice’s father, Bruce, had suffered a stroke in 2003. He never recovered
from the stroke, and Rice quit football to help take care of his ailing father, who passed away in 2007. His junior year, Rice, a Troy High School student, began taking classes in Piqua at the Upper Valley Joint Vocational School, which has since been renamed the Upper Valley Career Center. He studied which his welding, mother said seemed a natural fit. “He was always taking things apart,” Wheelock said. “I would come home and there would be parts left over from what he had taken apart. I’d find pieces and parts that didn’t go with anything.” His welding skills were enough to earn him a scholarship to the Hobart School of Welding following his high school graduation in 2007, but by then he already had decided to pursue his lifelong dream of entering the military. Following graduation, Rice worked briefly at Speedway, the Troy Bowl and for his aunt’s FedEx business. On Sept. 22, 2008, Rice entered the United States Army. Rice was assigned to the 20th Engineer Battalion, 36th Engineer Brigade in Fort Hood, Texas. His natural curiosity for taking things apart and putting them back together, coupled with his welding background, served him well when he was shipped off to Afghanistan in January 2010. Rice served as a field engineer in Kandahar, Afghanistan. “If bridges were blown

Rice, however, always was quick to try to put his mother at ease. “He was so proud of what he was doing,” Wheelock said. “I knew that’s what he wanted to do. On the inside, I didn’t want him to go, but I wasn’t going to stand in his way.” Rice would spend nearly two years in Afghanistan before returning home in December of 2010, just in time for the holidays. He immediately wanted to re-
turn to the Middle East, but, as usual, was concerned about his mother, particularly following his father’s death several years earlier. Once he got the green light from his mother, though, he signed up for another tour of duty. In February of this year, Rice was again deployed to Afghanistan. Every chance he got, he would call or email his mother to let her know how he was doing. This past Thursday, Wheelock was greeted at her front door by a pair of army officials who let her know her son had died while in Afghanistan. “I didn’t open the front door right away, because I
thought, ‘Nobody ever rings the doorbell here; they always just come in through the garage,’” Wheelock said. “It was like a movie.” As she sat at her kitchen table Monday morning recounting her son’s life, she read over an email he had sent her. Tears filled her eyes as she read the email. It would be the last one she ever received from her son. The closing read: “one last thing i really really miss you and i love you mom. write you soon” ——— Information from: Troy News, Daily http://www.troydailynews.com
First lady: Campaign is about choices WESTERVILLE (AP) — The presidential is about campaign choices involving the economy, health care and college education and a promise kept to bring troops home from Iraq and keep the country secure, Michelle Obama said Tuesday at the first of two campaign stops in battleground Ohio. Mrs. Obama told a crowd of around 2,000 at a suburban Columbus high school gymnasium that the country must decide whether to go for-
ward with the initiatives her husband has undertaken or let the progress slip away. She said the country is better off because of the passage of the Affordable Care Act, the return of troops from Iraq and the auto bailout. “These are the choices that we face,” Mrs. Obama said. “Are we going to continue to change with regard to the progress that we’ve made, or are we just going to let everything we’ve worked so hard for
just slip away? We can’t do that — we have to keep moving forward, forward.” But Mrs. Obama cautioned that change can take time, and it might not even happen right away. “Maybe not in our lifetimes, but maybe in our children’s lifetimes, maybe in our grandchildren’s lifetimes,” she said. “Because in the end, that is what this is all about. In the end, that’s what elections are always about. Elections are always about
Butter cake celebrates Columbus’ bicentennial COLUMBUS (AP) — Dairy officials at the Ohio State Fair are celebrating the capital city’s 200th birthday with a massive cake made almost entirely out of butter. Standing 6 feet high by 5 feet wide, the cake was made with the help of 2,400 sticks of butter and marks Columbus’ bicentennial. It was revealed ahead of the fair’s Wednesday opening. The cake is topped with the number 200 and has ornate carvings of notable city landmarks, including the Ohio Statehouse. Organizers say it also has dairy cows to represent the state’s agricultural focus. Cincinnati-based sculptors commissioned by the American Dairy Association Mideast crafted the cake in about 450 hours and used almost 2,000 pounds of butter.

The first lady’s interactions with the children included quizzing them, hugging them, and jumping into a game in-
volving a round nylon blanket raised up and down as children ran beneath it. One young girl placed her hand over her mouth in happy shock after shaking Obama’s hand.

NATION/WORLD TODAY IN HISTORY BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Today is Wednesday, July 25, the 207th day of 2012. There are 159 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On July 25, 1972, the notorious Tuskegee syphilis experiment came to light as The Associated Press reported that for the previous four decades, the U.S. Public Health Service, in conjunction with the Tuskegee Institute in Alabama, had been allowing poor, rural black male patients with syphilis to go without treatment, even allowing them to die, as a way of studying the disease. On this date: ■ In 1866, Ulysses S. Grant was named General of the Army of the United States, the first officer to hold the rank. ■ In 1898, the United States invaded Puerto Rico during the Spanish-American War. In 1909, French aviator Louis Bleriot became the first person to fly an airplane across the English Channel, traveling from Calais (kah-LAY’) to Dover in 37 minutes. ■ In 1941, President Franklin D. Roosevelt froze Japanese assets in the United States in retaliation for Japan’s occupation of southern Indochina. ■ In 1946, the United States detonated an atomic bomb near Bikini Atoll in the Pacific in the first underwater test of the device. ■ In 1952, Puerto Rico became a self-governing commonwealth of the United States. ■ In 1956, the Italian liner Andrea Doria collided with the Swedish passenger ship Stockholm off the New England coast late at night and began sinking; at least 51 people were killed. ■ In 1960, a Woolworth’s store in Greensboro, N.C., that had been the scene of a sit-in protest against its whites-only lunch counter dropped its segregation policy. ■ In 1962, the Bell System inaugurated Skyphone, an air-to-ground radiotelephone service, as American Airlines stewardess Hope Patterson placed a call to Associated Press writer Francis Stilley in New York while flying over Lakehurst, N.J. ■ In 1984, Soviet cosmonaut Svetlana Savitskaya became the first woman to walk in space as she carried out more than three hours of experiments outside the orbiting space station Salyut 7. ■ In 1992, opening ceremonies were held in Barcelona, Spain, for the Summer Olympics. ■ In 2000, a New Yorkbound Air France Concorde crashed outside Paris shortly after takeoff, killing all 109 people on board and four people on the ground; it was the first-ever crash of the supersonic jet.
OUT OF THE BLUE Car gets second wash in river HACKENSACK, N.J. (AP) — Police believe a woman hit the gas instead of the brake as she left a New Jersey car wash, sending her vehicle into a river. An employee and a customer at Spotless Auto Laundry jumped into the Hackensack River to rescue the woman on Sunday. Employee John Goez tells The Record newspaper they couldn’t open the door because of the water pressure. They managed to get the woman out through the window. A tow truck retrieved the vehicle and the woman was treated at a hospital for minor injuries.

Alleged shooter was surrounded by brain experts CENTENNIAL, Colo. (AP) — James Holmes spent a year in a small neuroscience doctoral program, surrounded by scientists and roughly three dozen classmates delving into the inner workings of the brain. The University of Colorado, Denver, isn’t saying if they had any warning signs. Experts say, however, the intimacy of the program and its focus on the brain may not have been enough for staff and students to detect that Holmes was on a course that police say ended with a deadly rampage at a midnight showing of the new Batman movie.
Supported by a prestigious federal grant, Holmes, 24, was in the first year of a program at the Anschutz Medical Campus dedicated to neuroscience, studying such topics as how the brain works or malfunctions or helping develop drugs to treat epilepsy and other disorders. But it is not behavioral science or psychology, experts say. David Eagleman, who runs the Initiative on Neuroscience and the Law at Baylor University, said some neuroscientists are experts in mental illnesses and aberrant behavior, but others spend most of their time studying molecular chemistry.
“It’s really only a fraction of professors” who could identify a simmering mental disorder, Eagleman said. “Many people in neuroscience are not specialized in the issue of picking up mental illness … There are plenty of people who just study mice and cats and stuff like that.” Holmes is accused of methodically stockpiling weapons and explosives at work and at home that police say he used to kill 12 people and wound 58 more at a movie theater Friday in nearby Aurora. Police say he also booby-trapped his apartment with the intent to kill police officers. Holmes’ arraignment hear-
ing is on Monday. Attention continued to focus on victims of the attack and their grieving families, many of whom turned on Tuesday to the grim task of preparing for funerals. Batman star Christian Bale visited survivors of the shooting and stopped by a makeshift memorial to victims near the movie theater where they were shot. Authorities say Holmes began shopping for firearms while studying neuroscience. He joined the program in June 2011 after receiving a National Institutes of Health grant to cover his tuition and provide a $26,000 annual living allowance.
‘Batman’ star visits shooting survivors AURORA, Colo. (AP) — Batman star Christian Bale visited survivors of the Colorado theater shooting Tuesday and stopped by a makeshift memorial to victims of the attack that killed 12 people and injured 58. Carey Rottman, one of those injured in Friday’s shooting at a theater showing “The Dark Knight Rises,” posted two photos of himself with Bale on his Facebook page. Hospital staff also posted a Facebook photo of the actor with some staff members. An online campaign had urged Bale to visit survivors of the shooting. After visiting The Medical Center of Aurora, Bale stopped by a makeshift memorial to the victims near the movie theater. He walked among the 12 crosses erected for each of the slain victims, and many people there didn’t realize who he was or chose to leave him alone. A Warner Bros. spokeswoman told The Denver Post that Bale was representing himself, not the movie studio. Bale, who stars as Bat-

Families urge less usage of Holmes’ name NEW YORK (AP) — Some relatives of people killed in the Colorado theater shooting are urging television news outlets to resist using alleged killer James Holmes’ name and image in their stories for fear it gives him the infamy he craves. Two families made that specific point to Anderson Cooper on CNN, who said Tuesday he has largely complied. Some news experts, while saying journalists must be attuned to these sensitivities, also warned against losing sight of the chief responsibility to inform the public. Tom Teves, whose son Alex was among 12 people shot and
killed Friday in Aurora, Colo., at a midnight showing of “The Dark Knight Rises,” challenged TV news divisions during a Monday interview with Cooper. “I would like to see CNN come out with a policy that said moving forward we’re not going to talk about the gunman,” Teves said. “What we’re going to say is, a coward walked into a movie theater and started shooting people. He’s apprehended. The coward’s in jail. He will never see the light of day again. Let’s move on to the victims. Never talk to him again.” Jordan Ghawi, whose 24year-old sister Jessica was killed, said he has been talk-
ing publicly about her in part because “I don’t want the media to be saturated with the shooter’s name. The more air time these victims have, the less time that man gets his time on television. “I can tell you the shooter in Virginia Tech and Norway and not long ago here in Denver,” Ghawi told CNN on Friday. “I don’t want that to happen here. I want the victims to be remembered rather than just this coward.” Cooper said he didn’t use Holmes’ name at all while he was on the air Monday, instead using phrases like “suspect,” ”accused killer” or “accused shooter.” He also tried to limit images of
Holmes on his show, airing some from the suspect’s court appearance Monday about halfway through his hour-long newscast. He said his show was acting on its own, not from some CNN directive. “Obviously my primary role is to report and be a journalist and tell people as much as possible,” he said. “I think people know that person’s name. They certainly know it by now and they’ve certainly seen the pictures over and over again.” Traveling to Colorado to report on the scene gives journalists a better idea of the community’s sensitivity than they might otherwise get, he said.
Russia warns Syria against using chemical weapons MOSCOW (AP) — Russia chided its longtime ally Syria on Tuesday over its threat to use chemical weapons in case of a foreign attack, but Moscow gave no sign it was abandoning President Bashar Assad’s regime, despite growing international condemnation over the violence in the Arab country. Syria is Russia’s last remaining ally in the Middle East and hosts the only naval base Moscow has outside the former Soviet Union. Russia has protected Syria from international sanctions and supplied it with weapons amid an escalating civil war. On Monday, Syria threat-
ened to unleash its chemical and biological weapons if it faces a foreign attack — its first-ever acknowledgement it possesses weapons of mass destruction. In a statement that reflected a degree of irritation with Assad, the Russian Foreign Ministry reminded Syria that it had ratified a global convention banning the use of chemical weapons. It added that Russia expects Syria to “unfailingly honor its international obligations.” The statement follows earlier Russian rebukes of Assad’s heavy-handed use of force and slow pace of reforms. But despite occasional
criticism, Russia has staunchly refused to back international calls for the Syrian strongman to step down, saying that foreign players have no right to determine the nation’s political future, and that it must be decided by Syrians themselves. A 16-month uprising in Syria has morphed into a civil war has killed more than 19,000, according to the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights. The escalating fighting is also feeding fears that Syria’s war could spill across borders and spark a regional conflagration. Russian President Vladimir Putin made it clear
Monday that Moscow would not join those pressuring Assad to step down. “If the Syrian leadership is ousted from power by unconstitutional means, the leadership and the opposition will trade places and the civil war will continue,” Putin said. On Thursday, Russia and China vetoed a Westernbacked United Nations resolution threatening Assad’s regime with sanctions — the third such double veto of a U.N. motion addressing the crisis. The next day, the U.N. Security Council unanimously approved a resolution renewing the 300-strong U.N. observer force in Syria for another 30 days.

Seniors enjoy wet day at the fair BY TOM BARNETT tbarnett@sdnccg.com A 9 a.m. cloudburst produced a soggy beginning for Senior Citizens Day 2012 at the 152nd Annual Shelby County Fair Tuesday, but most events went on as scheduled with few exceptions. Hardy, umbrella-toting seniors still flocked to the fairgrounds to enjoy free admission, sack lunches, toe-tapping, hand-slapping entertainment and door prizes. Senior Citizens Day is sponsored annually by the Sidney Daily News. Attendance was down, of course, attributable to Tuesday’s persistent rain, but 396 seniors still attended the fair and registered for the event. Last year’s resigstartion, in fair weather, totaled 510. The Sidney-Shelby County Senior Center staff, lead by Dave McKay, director, were hosts for the day in the fairgrounds entertainment tent. Dozens of volunteers assisted staff throughout the day. Jean and Joe Buroker, of Sidney, were once again the longest-married couple at the fair at 72 years, and Morris Shields, 94, of Bellefontaine, was the eldest man. Melba Bender, 95, of Sidney, was the eldest woman present. The honorees received engraved plaques and corsages presented them by Jim Bertsch on behalf of the Shelby County Fair Board. As seniors made their way past registration tables Tuesday morning, they passed health-related organizations offering fans, shopping bags, brochures, pens, note tablets and medical information life vials. Represented were Dorothy Love Retirement Community, Home Health Hospice and Care, New Version Nursing Home Care, Elmwood Assisted Living of New Bremen, The Pavilion, Senior Independence, Honda of America, Senior Home Care, Heritage Manor, Amedisy’s Home Health Care, Versailles Health Care Center and Wilson Memorial Hospital.
The event’s traditional celebrity volleyball game was canceled in difference to the weather and streams of rainfall that had seeped into the entertainment tent. Blood pressure and health screenings have not been held for several years. During the morning’s thunder and rain, Shelby Public Transit and several nursing home vans continued to unload passengers to attend the day’s events. The number of 40 attendees at 9 a.m. soon swelled as clouds lightened before bursting again with fresh thunder showers. Seniors were entertained at 11 a.m. by Spittin’ Image, identical twins Brian and Blain Swab, of Greenville, who performed hand-clapping tunes, playing guitar, mandolin and harmonicas amid bursts of banter. Crowd favorites included selections made famous by Johnny Cash, Charlie Price, Johnny Paycheck and other artists. Spotting 6-year-old identical twins Rex and Andy Laureano, of Forest, in the audience, the brothers enticed them to come on stage to join a set, accompanying the Swabbs on tambourines. The duo concluded their performance with a U.S. armed forces medley during which veterans were asked to stand as their service’s anthem was played. A free lunch provided by the senior center followed at noon with volunteers, including a group of uniformed Shelby County Sheriff ’s deputies, serving seniors in their seats in deference to the entertainment tent’s wet floor. McKay announced Honda of America had donated $1,500 for the event, which was used to fund the event’s free lunches and entertainment. Door prize drawings followed with seniors receiving gift cards from merchants, restaurants and businesses. Bingo followed at 1 p.m. with Senior Center volunteer Gaylene Gallimore calling the numbers.

Shelby County Junior Fair royalty Queen Katelyn Seger, King Craig Berning to reign at fair BY RACHEL LLOYD rlloyd@sdnccg.com Five boys and six girls competed Sunday for the honor of being crowned the 2012 Shelby County Fair king and queen, and when the long deliberations by the judges were over, Craig Berning and Katelyn Seger walked away with the titles. Berning and Summer McCracken were selected by their fellow contestants as Mr. and Miss Congeniality. The competition began with personal interviews Sunday afternoon, before the contestants took to the stage in the free entertainment tent that evening. The evening’s event began with each candidate offering a fivepresentation minute about how 4-H and FFA have had an impact on their lives. This was followed by the contestants modeling their evening wear while the masters of ceremonies, last year’s king and queen Keith Geyer and Jenise Berning, described the contestants’ activities and accomplishments. The contestants’ final opportunity to make an impression on the judges came in the form of answering an impromptu question on stage. The girls tended to take their presentations more seriously, while more of the boys opted to take a more humorous approach.

KATELYN SEGER, of Fort Loramie, and Craig Berning, of Anna, were crowned the Shelby County Junior Fair queen and king Sunday night. Brandon Ike told the crowd he had waited until 11 the previous night and when his friend Maria (Goettemoeller — junior fair board member) told him a joke, he decided he would use that as his speech. The joke told of a football match on “some big boat” carrying two of each animal between the big animals
and the small animals. He drew from that joke a roundabout moral: “Don’t wait until halftime to have your shoes tied.” Noah Clark showed his sartorial uniqueness in a cardigan, jelly fish Tshirt, cut-off jean shorts and canvas shoes with sizable holes in the soles (“that’s what socks are for,” he explained). His
offbeat clothing illustrated his way of living. “I do my own thing,” he said. Brett Langenkamp took to the stage wearing an orange T-shirt and suspenders and proceeded to juggle tennis balls as he explained how life is a juggling act, but if one has all the components working together, it makes a
pretty presentation. Craig Berning took the boys to a more serious tone, as he told how 4-H and FFA have helped shape his life, noting that even though he is not a 4H member, he has been a 4-H camp counselor. Allen Armstrong wore clothing representing the things he has done in 4H: a T-shirt from when he was 4-H camp counselor, the toolbelt he wears when woodworking and the white jeans he wears while showing goats. Most of the girls took a more thematic approach toward their presentations. Amy Pleiman, a 10year member of the Merry Modmakers and recent graduate of Fort Loramie High School, told of her personal experiences with 4-H and how they have influenced her toward her chosen career goal of becoming a teacher. She will be attending Wright State University’s Lake Campus in the fall to study middle childhood education. Katie Ahrns dressed as a veterinarian, which also reflected her desired career path. She spoke of what the 4-H pledge means to her. Katie Holt’s costume was like an old-time shepherdess, complete with bonnet, gloves and shepherd’s crook. She said she’d only been in 4H a relatively short time — three years — but shared her experiences showing ducks, chickens and, this year, sheep.
Katelyn Seger wore an apple-themed dress and spoke of her life as an apple tree, with all the elements of her life providing the resources she needed to grow. She concluded by encouraging everyone to “strive to be the best apple you can be.” Summer McCracken took the stage in a pink satin gown and a tiara, asking a handheld mirror “who’s the best princess?” She said she didn’t make it in life as a princess, but as she considered and rejected her possible career choices, she found that her activities in 4-H and FFA helped her realize she had many options available in agriculture. Kortney Phipps said she joined 4-H to have fun but came to realize that it was much more to her. Phipps shows alpacas at the fair, which she said she never wanted to do, but she thanked her brother for wanting to do it and getting her involved. The sponsor for the event was Pioneer Electric Cooperative. The contestants placed as follows: • First runners-up — Brett Langenkamp and Katie Holt • Second runners-up — Brandon Ike and Summer McCracken • Third runners-up — Alan Armstrong and Kortney Phipps • Fourth runners-up — Noah Clark and Katie Ahrns • Fifth runner-up — Amy Pleiman

Exploring nature Children make nature crafts Kids looking to take home a souvenir from the Shelby County Fair need look no farther than the Community Foundation Hall — and the best things about it are the souvenir is free and created by them. Each day of the fair, at 3 and 7 p.m., a free fun with nature and crafts program for children is offered. Children gather at picnic tables, and under the supervision of a volunteer, create crafts such as pressed-flower note cards, seed art, stamped bags, pine-cone necklaces, old-fashioned buzz saw games, raccoonface door hangers, beady animals from UV ray beads and more. At the 3 p.m. session Monday, several young girls showed up to make pine-cone necklaces with the help of Stephanie Moorman, a naturalist from Lake Loramie State Park. Moorman said response to the program, which is offered every year at the fair, has been “real good.” The Monday afternoon
session attracted little girls, but Moorman said boys also like to show their creativity. “I had a little boy (at an earlier session),” she said. “He was the first one to show up.” There are lots other things to see and do in the Community Foundation Hall (formerly known as the Grange Hall). The theme throughout the building is “Celebrate Natural Resources.” The Shelby Environmental Education Coalition (SEEC) sponsors displays and activities in the hall. SEEC is made up of the Shelby Soil and Water Conservation District, Shelby County Farm Bureau, North Central Ohio Solid Waste District, city of Sidney Water Treatment Plant, city of SidneyWastewater Treatment Plant, city of Sidney Parks and Recreation, Shelby County Park District, Shelby County Master Gardeners and Lake Loramie State Park, as well as two new partners that have joined for this year’s fair: the
Shelby County Sharpspurs Chapter of the National Wild Turkey Federation and the Shelby County Libraries. The building also contains the Rainbow Gardeners’ flower show with its theme of “Down on the Farm,” along with the culinary, canned goods, grain, seeds, hay, fruits and vegetables entries. Another event for kids is new this year. It is a presentation on “Worms” by Lynda Adams, education coordinator for the Shelby Soil and Water Conservation District. “Worms” will be presented Friday at 5 p.m. and will include a Gummi worm relay race. Also new is the “Tree Trunk,” created by Shelby Soil and Water Conservation District Board member Judy Frilling. Kids will have the opportunity to step inside the “Tree Trunk” and peek out the knotholes, providing photo opportunities for parents For photo reprints, visit www.sidneydailynews.com SDN Photo/Caitlin Stewart and grandparents.

Evening brings crowd to fair BY LEE JONES attendance Fair dipped slightly Monday, but that does not mean the fairgrounds were empty. The day’s activities were sponsored by Area Energy & Electric and Cargill Inc. Perhaps the morning rain discouraged some fairgoers. Perhaps the afternoon heat, which reached the low 90s, kept others away too. Fair board Treasurer Barb Heilers said the fairway may have been the deciding factor in the attendance dip. Rides did not open until 4 p.m. She said the traveling amusement ride operators needed some rest after Sunday’s long fairopening festivities. “Monday is always the slowest day of the week,” said Jerry Schaffner, fair board secretary. “We’re looking forward to a great week,” Heilers said. After the rides opened, things started to pick up.
The evening tiger shows were well attended. Folks were excited to see the hulking felines’ jumping tricks, laughing and clapping when the trainer gave the main white tiger a highcongratulatory five. Substantial lines formed at the lemon shake-up, shaved-ice and ice-cream stands during the height of the day’s heat. Most of the incoming fairgoers were arriving early for the evening’s big events: the 6:30 barrow and gilt shows. Several musical acts put on performances as the evening wore down.

Sidney native turned Alaskan helps at fair BY LEE JONES One of Sidney’s native daughters came home and helped judge projects Monday at the same fair where she spent time as a child. Connie Lutz moved to Wasilla, Alaska, in 1983 to teach gifted elementary students. She has been splitting her time between Alaska and Ohio for the past few years as she cared for her father and worked on her Ph.D at Ohio State University. “I’m lucky enough to have two homes,” she said. Lutz was happy to return to the Shelby County Fair. She has been working to revise the 4-H judging forms, a task which is utilizing the research for her thesis: educational assessment. Back in Alaska, she is a neighbor to Chuck and Sally Heath, Sarah Palin’s parents. She is also not far from the Palins as well. “Wasilla’s not a very big town,” she said, “We just got a Target.” Fairs in Alaska are very different from Ohio’s. For instance, Alaska’s state fair is about the same size as Shelby County’s. “There are more sen-
ior fair thing in Alaska fairs,” she said, “I judged sewing there and, where there could be hundreds of projects in Ohio, there were maybe 14 in Alaska.” She said 4-H is nonexistent there. “I was so shocked and I thought ‘This is such a small thing,’” she said. The highlight of the Alaska fair: huge vegetables. “There are 100 pound cabbages and carrots like baseball bats,” she said, “The sun doesn’t really go down so there’s a long growing season.” These monumental vegetables are media darlings during fair time. Lutz said the humidity would have wilted her if she were not already acclimated to Ohio’s environment. Alaska is having the coldest summer on record, dipping down to 40 degrees at times. She looks back fondly at her time as a kid in the Shelby County Fair and 4-H played a huge role in determining the direction her life would take. “I have been speaking in front of crowds since I was 10,” she said, “the Shelby County Fair formed what I would be doing way up in Alaska.”

DEAR DR. DONOHUE: Every couple of months, someone writes to you about a chronic cough that defies treatment. Please read the attached article from a medical journal. I had a cough for 25 years. Amitriptyline broke that cycle, and I have been free of cough for four years. — G.J. ANSWER: According to the article from a reputable medical journal, a chronic cough, resistant to all medicines, is sometimes due to damage to nerves to the throat and larynx (voicebox). I have never heard this discussed. The dose of amitriptyline is low, 10 milligrams at bedtime. The article is from the journal Otolaryngology — Head and Neck Surgery, by Robert W. Bastain, M.D. et al, Volume 135, No.1, July 2006. Chronic coughers might want to mention it to their doctors. Thanks, G.J.

50 years July 25, 1962 Shelby County commissioners got in step with modern trends today as they decided on times of closing the courthouse during the coming county fair opening Saturday, July 28. Their decision was to close the county offices three half-days instead of the one full day and two half days as in the past. (The half days will be Wednesday, Thursday and Friday afternoons. A few employees were saddened at losing the “full day.” But attorneys and business interests were made happy by the fact the courthouse business could be transacted any day during the fair week, providing it is done in the morning hours on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday when the courthouse normally closes at noon. ––––– Mr. and Mrs. Clarence L.

Remember, once something is on the Web it’s there for good. You are intelligent enough that things didn’t progress any further. Thank you for wanting to warn other young people about your experience. Adults can lecture about the dangers of communicating with strangers on the Internet, but it’s easy to tune them out. It’s also easy to forget that the same rules apply in the virtual world as apply in the real world. If something makes you uncomfortable, listen to your gut and leave the area. I hope other young women will learn from what happened
to you and recognize how careful they must be in chat rooms because as your experience illustrates, not everyone is who they pretend to be. Bottom line: If anyone wants to text or chat and things progress in a way that makes you uncomfortable, it’s time to carefully consider whether to proceed or not. Immediately show the text or chat to someone (a parent or an older, more knowledgeable friend) and ask for an opinion, Remember, you have the ability to block the person at any time. Do not let anyone — whether you know him or her or not — force you to do ANYTHING.

CLEVELAND INDIANS' Aaron Cunningham bunts off Detroit Tigers pitcher Doug Fister in the seventh inning of a baseball game Tuesday in Cleveland. Lou Marson scored. Cunningham advanced to second base on an error by Fister.
Tribe squeezes out win CLEVELAND (AP) — Aaron Cunningham bunted home the go-ahead run with a suicide squeeze as the Cleveland Indians beat Detroit 3-2, moving within three games of the AL Central-leading Tigers on Tuesday night. Travis Hafner tripled with one out in the seventh inning off Doug Fister (4-7) and Lou Marson ran for him. Marson took off running as Cunningham, a defensive rehitting .175, placement dropped a bunt in front of the plate. Fister quickly got the ball and tried to shovel it to catcher Alex Avila. It rolled away, Marson scored, and Cunningham took second on the error. Miguel Cabrera’s two-run homer off reliever Joe Smith (6-2) tied it at 2 in the top half. Chris Perez pitched the ninth for his 28th save in 30 chances.
Cleveland is 6-1 against the Tigers. Perez has saved each win. Five have been by two runs or fewer. Vinnie Pestano pitched a scoreless eighth for Cleveland, which is 29-3 when the righthander and Perez have been in the same game. The Indians are 20-45 in all other games. Johnny Damon had an RBI single in the second inning and Carlos Santana singled home a run in the fourth for Cleveland. Smith thought he had thrown a third strike past Quentin Berry to end the top of the seventh with that 2-0 lead. TV replays showed his 32 pitch was over the heart of the plate, but umpire Marvin Hudson judged it to be a tad high. Cabrera then drove a 20 pitch over the wall in center for his 24th homer. Great hustle by Tigers first baseman Prince Fielder
helped douse the Indians’ rally in the fourth. With runners on first and second and none out, Santana singled between first and second, driving home Jason Kipnis. Right fielder Brennan Boesch scooped up the ball and threw toward home, but Fielder cut off the throw and fired to third baseman Cabrera, getting Michael Brantley in a rundown. then sprinted Fielder across the diamond to backup Cabrera, took a return throw from shortstop Jhonny Peralta and tagged out Brantley trying to reach third with a headfirst slide. Hafner struck out and Damon grounded out to end the inning. Jimenez allowed seven singles over six scoreless innings. Fister gave up three runs and nine hits over seven innings.
Bengals have new camp look, rookies in spotlight CINCINNATI (AP) — A white-topped tent is anchored at the entrance to the Cincinnati Bengals’ practice field. Workers are cleaning seats inside Paul Brown Stadium, getting ready for a franchise first. The team opens training camp this weekend without leaving home. The Bengals spent their first 44 training camps at Wilmington College and Georgetown College, small schools that were more than an hour’s drive away from Cincinnati. They preferred having their players in an isolated environment. The slimmed-down training camp schedule mandated by the new collective bargaining agreement prompted them to change. The Bengals were one of only a dozen teams that held training camp away from team headquarters last year. “It’s new and different for us, but not for most teams in the league,” owner Mike Brown said on Tuesday. “We have better facilities here than we could find anywhere SDN Photo/NAME else.

TROY — Lehman is down to nine games for the upcoming football season after an announcement earlier this week that Troy Christian has suspended its varsity program for this season. The Eagles were scheduled to meet Lehman in week 10 at Piqua’s Alexander Stadium. Troy Christian’s administration decided over the weekend that due to low numbers, and in particular a lack of upperclassmen, it was canceling its varsity schedule for 2012, and will instead play a junior varsity schedule. “It was incredibly tough,” Troy Christian superintendent Gary Wilber said when asked if the decision was reached lightly. The Eagles, who have seen their numbers drop in the last few seasons, would have had a team composed of roughly two-thirds freshmen and sophomores, with relatively few seniors on board. And with many of those players likely to be forced to play both offense and defense thanks to the numbers crunch overall, the school decided the safety risk was too great. “We looked at the numbers we had, especially the lack of upperclassmen — the team would be two-thirds young, young players,” Wilber said. “And with some of those young kids having to go both ways, safety-wise we just felt we couldn’t do it. “There’s a big maturity difference and a big physical difference at this age. Last year, seeing some of the injuries we did during the season, it was hurtful to watch. The last couple of years have been tough that way.” Troy Christian has had a varsity program for the past 10 years, according to a press release sent out by the school. In both 2001 and 2002, the Eagles won the Northwest Central Conference, and the team made the playoffs three years straight from 2002-04, winning one playoff game in
2002. There hasn’t been a winning season since. “We had a board committee meeting on it and decided this was best,” Wilber said. “We’ll take a year, back off a little, rebuild the program and go back at it again the next year. “(Football injuries) have been getting a lot more press recently, and we’re coming to understand more about these injuries, too. You can’t take that lightly.” Caleb Brown decided not to return as coach this season, though the team will still take the field as a junior varsity squad to allow the younger players to continue to gain playing experience with a lessened risk of injury. “We respect his decision. He felt it was in the best interests of the program,” Wilber said of Brown’s decision to leave. “Our coaching staff is strong, including three men who have NCAA Division I playing experience.” But with the year off — and big numbers coming up through the junior high program — the Eagles are hoping to make a triumphant return to the varsity level in 2013. “Troy Christian’s board and administration is fully committed to a varsity football program,” Wilber said. “We feel this is a positive step for the future of our football program.” Lehman head coach Dick Roll, who is also the school’s athletic director, said he has made some contacts already this week, saying it’s not too late to fill that spot for the coming season. “I got on the (Ohio High School Athletic Association) website and found two schools in Cincinnati,” Roll said. “I also got an anonymous tip that another school, which I won’t mention, may have to cancel their season, so I’m in contact with the school they’re scheduled to play in week 10. So I’m looking.”
Sidney Youth Football preparing for season Sign-ups to begin on July 30 The Sidney Youth Football League begins its 22nd season in a few weeks, and sign-ups are set to begin on July 30, it was announced recently. The sign-ups will be held through Aug. 9 at First Christian Church, 320 E. Russell Road in Sidney. The schedule is as follows: July 30 to Aug. 3 — 5 to 7 p.m. Aug. 4 — 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Aug. 6 to Aug. 9 — 5 to 7 p.m. The league is open to fifth and sixth grade boys in Shelby County, regardless of whether the high school team has football or not. The teams will play a sixgame schedule, the first five being the regular season, and a final game to determine position in the standings. The season will then be capped off with the 6th grade all-star game, which will be played at Sidney Memorial Stadium. “It’s our 22nd year, and I
think that’s a good sign,” said Ron Burns, a longtime coach in the league. “It’s a sign that the program is strong. We normally average about 150 kids.” A few years back, the Sidney teams would end their seasons with games against teams from Troy and Piqua, but Burns said that isn’t happening anymore. “Piqua and Troy changed what they were doing,” said Burns. “It used to be a threetown tournament, but Troy started a tournament as a fundraiser and they ring in a bunch of select teams. They have teams with 12 to 16 games under their belt. And Piqua formed a league of their own. “We’re an instructional league and we play everybody,” he added. “So it’s difficult to find teams that match up with us.” The season will officially begin on Sept. 1.

Tribe acquires Lillibridge CLEVELAND (AP) — The Cleveland Indians acquired veteran Brent Lillibridge from the Boston Red Sox on Tuesday, adding some backup versatility as they seek to stay in the AL Central race. Minor-league righthander Jose De La Torre was sent to Boston, which had acquired Lillibridge on June 24 as part of the trade that sent corner infielder Kevin Youkilis to the Chicago White Sox. Lillibridge has seen extensive action at every position except pitcher and catcher in his career. He is
expected to be used in a utility role after joining the Indians on Wednesday when the team will have to clear a spot on the 25-man roster for him. “He's a guy we can use to give (shortstop Asdrubal) Cabrera and (second baseman Jason) Kipnis a rest,” manager Manny Acta said. The 28-year-old Lillibridge has hit .212 in 295 games for Atlanta, the White Sox and Boston. To make room on the 40-man roster, Cleveland transferred third baseman Lonnie Chisenhall from the 15-day disabled list to the 60-day DL.

PENN STATE Univeristy Office of the Physical Plant workers remove the concrete landing area that held the famed statue of Joe Paterno Tuesday in State College, Pa. Adler said he would advise current sponsors to pull out of their deals with Penn State, adding that most contracts have morality clauses giving advertisers an out. “I think the public perception is pretty clear and definitive at this point. That brand is damaged beyond the point of short-term repair. It is the sponsorship partner’s obligation first and foremost to look after the health of their own brand,” Adler said. “None of the sponsors owe Penn State anything.” So far, though, Penn State appears to be hanging on. GM spokesman Pat Morrissey said the automaker is reviewing its sponsorship but has not made a decision. Morrissey did not immediately return a call about the value of the sponsorship deal. Other sponsors said they plan to stick with Penn State, including Purchase, N.Y.-based PepsiCo Inc., Pittsburghbased PNC bank and Pennsylvania’s largest health insurer, Highmark Inc. “Highmark’s partner-
ship with Penn State is about health and wellness. We do have a sponsorship with the athletics program. While we routinely evaluate all of our sponsorships, we plan to continue at this time,” spokesman Aaron Billger said. PNC Financial Services Group issued a statement after the July 12 release of the Freeh report that its “ongoing engagement with the university signals our support of the students and traditions of Penn State. ... We believe that the university will learn from this experience and become stronger.” Bank spokesman Fred Solomon said the NCAA sanctions have not changed PNC’s position. Pepsi spokeswoman Gina Anderson said Tuesday the company also stood by its recent statement in response to the Freeh report. “We are deeply disturbed by the findings of the investigation and the conduct of certain individuals at Penn State University, but will continue to honor our longstanding contract as a campus beverage
provider,” the statement said. Moody’s Investors Service said Tuesday that it may cut the school’s Aa1 rating. The Freeh report, along with the NCAA sanctions, could hurt enrollment and fundraising, and the school is still under state and federal investigation, the rating agency said. A downgrade could make it more expensive for Penn State to borrow money for expansion or other projects. Around Happy Valley, as the university and the surrounding area are known, Penn Staters and business owners worry that the NCAA sanctions will drive down attendance at home games and hurt the hotels, restaurants and university-themed clothing shops that rely on the Nittany Lions’ loyal football fans. “Football is absolutely intertwined with the university, therefore the town,” said graduate student Will Ethier. “Such hard hits really will hit the town economically.” He added: “If one gets sanctioned, everybody else gets sanctioned.”

BOSTON (AP) — The 1912 Boston Red Sox World Series trophy presented to team manager Jake Stahl is going on the auction block. The sterling silver trophy will be auctioned Aug. 2 at Camden Yards in Baltimore during a national sports collectors convention. The trophy's current owner is Red Sox fan Robert Fraser. He says several companies wanted to auction it off for the 100th anniversaries of the team's World Series win against the New York Giants and the opening of Fenway Park. The Westwood, N.J., real estate broker says he and his wife paid $74,000 for it in 2007. Heritage Auctions says it expects the trophy will fetch more than $300,000. Fraser says there were two trophies made but no one knows what happened to the other one.

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) — State Farm is pulling its ads from Penn State football broadcasts, while General Motors is reconsidering its sponsorship deal and Wall Street is threatening to downgrade the school’s credit rating, suggesting the price of the sexual abuse scandal could go well beyond the $60 million fine and other penalties imposed by the NCAA. Bloomington, Ill.based State Farm said it had been reviewing its connection to Penn State since the arrest of retired assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky last November. The insurance company said it will pull ads from broadcasts of Nittany Lions home games but continue to advertise during Penn State’s away contests. “We will not directly support Penn State football this year,” State Farm spokesman Dave Phillips said Tuesday. “We just feel it was the best decision.” State Farm had no immediate information on how much money is at stake. The NCAA imposed unprecedented sanctions against Penn State on Monday, including the fine, a four-year bowl ban and a sharp reduction in the number of football scholarships it may offer. The governing body also erased 14 years of victories, wiping out 111 of coach Joe Paterno’s wins and stripping him of his standing as the most successful coach in the history of big-time college football. With Penn State’s once-sterling reputation in tatters, the university could face an exodus of sponsors unwilling to have their brands linked to scandal, said Kevin Adler, founder of Chicago-based Engage Marketing Inc.

We used to leave for training camp after the July 4 holiday and come back after Labor Day weekend. Three weeks — it seems we no sooner get there and it’s time to come back. “I think it’s good for that reason and most of all, we can reach out to our fans. They don’t have to drive far, they can watch us downtown. All those things are good.” The Bengals hope that by holding camp at their stadium and practice field across the street, fans will get more excited about a team coming off only its third winning season in the last 20 years. The Bengals went 97 in the regular season and gained a wild card berth when the rest of the competition melted down in the closing weeks. They lost to Houston in the playoffs, leaving them 0-3 in the postseason since their last playoff win in1990. Cincinnati still has a lot of work to do in winning back fans. Six of the eight games at Paul Brown Stadium failed to sell out last season and were blacked out on local television, even though the team was in the playoff chase. The six blackouts were the most in the league. The NFL eased its blackout rules after the season, allowing teams to set a lower threshold of ticket sales for a game to count as a sellout.

They can count a game as sold out if only 85 percent of the stadium is full. In his first public comment on the new rule, Brown said Tuesday that he won’t lower the threshold for a sellout at the Bengals’ 65,500-seat stadium, which opened in 2000 and was funded primarily by a local sales tax increase that also covered a Reds ballpark. Ticket sales are up from a year ago, when the team was coming off a 4-12 season and the NFL was in the midst of a lockout. The Bengals started winning fans back with a playoff push led by then-rookie quarterback Andy Dalton and receiver A.J. Green. The spotlight will be on rookies again starting at the opening practice on Friday. The Bengals need to find a receiver to complement Green. Thirdround pick Mohamed Sanu from Rutgers can earn significant playing time. Cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick, the 17th overall pick in the draft, will get a chance to win a starting job across from Leon Hall. Hall is returning from a torn Achilles tendon that has limited him during offseason workouts. Defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer said on Tuesday that Hall is expected to pass his physical exam before the first practice and line up as a starter.
IN BRIEF
Dempster mulling options PITTSBURGH (AP) — Chicago Cubs right-hander Ryan Dempster said Tuesday he is mulling trade possibilities but expects to make his scheduled start Wednesday afternoon against the Pittsburgh Pirates. The Atlanta Braves and Los Angeles Dodgers are both reportedly interested in Dempster, who can veto any trade because he has at least 10 years of service in the major leagues, including five with his current team. "I have some options and a pretty good idea of where I want to go," Dempster said, declining to reveal what team that was because There were multiple reports Monday that Dempster had agreed to be traded to Atlanta. However, the reports proved to be false.
Jags’ rookie pleads guilty STILLWATER, Okla. (AP) — Jacksonville Jaguars first-round draft pick Justin Blackmon pleaded guilty Tuesday to drunken driving in Oklahoma last month and was given a sentence that includes no jail time for the former Oklahoma State star. "He is mortified by this," defense attorney Cheryl Ramsey said shortly after she withdrew Blackmon's previous not guilty plea to a misdemeanor count of driving under the influence and entered the guilty plea as part of a plea agreement with prosecutors. Blackmon did not attend the brief hearing in Payne County District Court. "He has apologized to the NFL commissioner. He apologized to the Jacksonville Jaguars. It will not happen again," Ramsey said.

SIDNEY FIRE Chief Brad Jones talks about the firefighters and paramedics who helped save t.J. Eichelberger, 16, when a fire broke out at his home on June 2. Jones, along with Eichelberger, presented a Unit Citation to each fire-
fighter before Monday night’s Sidney Council meeting. Honored were (l-r) Dalls Davis, Anthony Marshal, Lucas Bergman, Wes Goubeaux, Ryan Heitman and Lt. Rod Dyer. Not pictured is Mark Barga.
Firefighters honored for saving life At Monday night’s Sidney City Council meeting, Fire Chief Brad Jones recognized eight members of the department’s C Unit for their life saving efforts, awarding them a Unit Citation. The rescued victim,
16-year-old T.J. Eichelberger, participated in the ceremonies, distributing the firefighter’s uniform ribbons to them individually. Jones said the unit responded to a structure fire at Fifth Avenue and Grove Street on June 2,
“with Dallas Davis, Anthony Marchal and Lucas Bergman establishing a water supply and two firefighters starting an attack with a handline. “Asst. Chief Cam Haller conducted a search and ventilated
COUNCIL The three-part plan to achieve compliance will be discussed again at Council’s Aug. 13 and Sept. 24 meetings. Randy Magoto, city surveyor, also discussed status of Wapakoneta Avenue Phase II right of way acquisition and storm outlet project with council. The project consists of three new lanes of road on Wapakoneta Avenue from Parkwood Street to Russell Road, along with appropriate curb and gutter, storm drainage and sidewalks, The $1.96 million project is being funded by an ODOT Small Cities grant of $1.56 million, an Ohio Public Works Commission $200,00 grant and $206,916 in city of Sidney funds. The Storm Sewer Outlet project relates to engineering for the Wapakoneta Avenue re-

construction during which the existing storm water outlet on Russell Road was identified as being too small to carry runoff created by the additional pavement and curbing. It will be funded by $68,700 in Community Block Grant dollars and $111,300 in local funds. During its legislative session Monday, council ordinances adopted amending the city’s zoning code to add tanning salons to the B-2 district and rezoning a Fourth Avenue property from single family residential to community business district. The legislation corrects a situation in which an existing salon in the B-2 district applied for a new certificate of occupancy and discovered tanning was not a permitted use in the district. The Fourth Avenue
zoning amendment was requested by Lisa O’Connor, on behalf of Jay Higgins to use the former Disabled Veterans building a 1000 Fourth Ave. as a catering/bakery and hall rental facility. Council also introduced an ordinance amending the city’s existing legislation regulating the practice of door-to-door solicitation in residential neighborhoods. The proposed amendments, Law Director Jeffrey Amick explained, between differentiate peddler, solicitor, vendor and canvasers, establish fee and license requirements and increase the penalty for violations to fourth degree misdemeanors. The ordinance will return to council for a second reading and action during its Aug. 13 meeting.
UNEMPLOYMENT “It’s continuing a trend that we’re more than happy to see.” Dodds noted that the county’s unemployment rate has fallen considerably during the past 12 months. “In general, Shelby County companies are doing well,” Dodds said. “And hopefully that trend continues.” Ohio’s unemployment rate was 7.4 percent in June, with approximately 430,200 members of the labor force out of work, up from 6.9 percent reported in May. In June 2011, the rate was 9.1 percent. Among the state’s 88 counties, the June unemployment rates ranged from a low of 4.6 percent in Mercer County to a high of 13 percent in Pike County. Rates increased in 85 of the 88 counties. Shelby County ranked 57th highest in
unemployment in the state. Seven counties had unemployment rates at or below 6 percent in June. In addition to Mercer, they were Holmes, 5.1; Delaware, 5.2; Union, 5.7; Auglaize and Putnam, 5.8; and Erie, 6 percent. Ten counties had unemployment rates at or above 10 percent in June. Other than Pike, they were Meigs, 12; Scioto, 1/1; Morgan, 10.7;
“Search personnel found a victim in a bedroom in the corner of the structure who was rescued and transported to the hospital by Lt. Dyer and firefighter Bergman. “Their dedication, teamwork and skill
were evident throughout this rescue which resulted in a successful outcome for the victim. Their actions were in the finest tradition of the Department of Emergency Services and the fire service,” Jones told council.
BOE rejects levy attempt NEW BREMEN – On the advice of a consultant, the New Bremen Board of Education has decided not to place a bond levy on the Nov. 6 ballot. Consultant William O’Callaghan told the board’s July meeting the 7.55-mill bond issue defeated at the March 5 election has damaged voters’ public trust and confidence in the board. The March issue, to construct and maintain a new K-8 building at a cost of nearly $20 million, was defeated 972 to 607 at the primary election. Total estimated cost of the new
building was nearly $20 million. The levy, had it been approved, would have cost the owner of a $100,000 property $231.24 a year for a period of 33 years. The Ohio School Facilities Commission had pledged $6,845 toward the project. In a survey conducted following the issue’s defeat, voters said they could not afford the cost and did not want more taxes during poor economic times. Other residents noted the school district continues to pay off the high school building and the current K-8
building should be retained. The survey was mailed to 1,879 homes in the school district. The board received 360 responses from residents. Interim superintendent John Basinger told the board there needs to be healing between the board and the community. Consultant O’Callaghan agreed. The school board, in future work sessions, will be discussing the possibility of planning small community meetings with residents in an effort to mend fences with voters.

• Carefully consider if each member in your group is physically and mentally capable of handling the activities of the day and if you have adequate support to ensure each person’s safety and enjoyment. • Make sure a responsible person in your party has a mobile phone and have everyone in your group carry that number in their phones or on a piece of paper. • Give each person in your group a waterproof ID card or tag that lists his or her name, phone number and any allergies, as well as the name and mobile phone number of a responsible person in your party. Make sure everyone knows what to do if they get separated from the group (e.g., go to first aid or security station or prearranged meeting spot). • Remember where you parked and identify a permanent and identifiable landmark nearby (such as a tree or building). Be sure everyone in your group knows how to find it. • Agree upon a meeting place and regular check-in times throughout your visit. Good places include the entrance you came in, first aid and Highway Patrol stations, and any unmistakable attractions, such as the 10foot cardinal at the Cardinal Gate, or the giant O-H-I-O carved tree in Central Park.

With the addition of the 105 received past the stated deadline, the number is now 772. Some affidavits have been received for locations claiming to have been in operation and conducting sweepstakes prior to the effective date of the statute, when in fact there is no facility currently operating at that address. For example, a tip from a constituent indicated that a Willard Internet café that had filed an affidavit with the attorney general’s office was really a store front and not currently in operation. DeWine also issued a warning to those who have or would consider filing a false affidavit regarding when they began operating. “The law is clear that providing false information to a public official with the intent to mislead the public official is a first degree misdemeanor,” said DeWine. “We will continue to work with local law enforcement to verify the existence of Internet cafes and will take the appropriate action against those who are in violation of the law.” Ohioans with specific knowledge of violations are encouraged to contact the Ohio attorney general’s office at (800) 2820515.

COLUMBUS – Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine has announced that 772 affidavits from owners of Internet cafe sweepstakes parlors have been received by his office. “The total number of Internet cafe sweepstakes parlors just keeps going up and up,” said DeWine. “Clearly there are more of them than anyone estimated, which only underscores the need for regulation. statewide With this many known locations, it is reasonable to assume there are more Internet sweepstakes terminals operating in Ohio than there are slot machines and VLTs at casinos and racetracks.” Currently, there are 5,873 VLTs and slot machines at racetracks and casinos. Assuming that each known Internet café sweepstakes location has 10 sweepstakes terminals would equate to at least 7,600 internet café sweepstakes terminals. There are two listed in Shelby County, both operated by Lalu Patel under the name of MLS of Ohio LLC. One is at 433 E. Court St., Sidney; the other is at 17500 State Route 274, Jackson Center, which is also the address of the Sticky Pit. None is listed in Auglaize County. As part of Am Sub House Bill 386, which contained a moratorium on new Internet sweepstakes parlors opening until June 30, 2013, all owners of Internet cafes in exis-

good air circulation and dries quickly if it gets wet. Wear comfortable and broken-in shoes and bring a change of socks. • Wear sunscreen on any exposed skin. Reapply sunscreen every few hours, according to package label instructions. Wear sunglasses with UV protection. Also consider a hat with a brim to protect your face and eyes from the sun. • The air-conditioned MarketPlace building and the shaded Natural Resources Park offer escapes from the heat and sun. • Drink plenty of nonalcoholic beverages throughout the day. Watch for signs of dehydration and heat-related illness, such as muscle cramps, light-headedness, nausea, rapid heartbeat, flushed or clammy skin and disorientation. Seek cool environments and medical attention if you or someone in your group experiences symptoms. • Know your limitations when riding rides. Safety restrictions are posted, but ask the ride operator if you are unsure. If you are not comfortable in the ride restraints, ask to be let off the ride before it begins.

Truck show, job fair to Stewart recognized be held in Wilmington and non-truckers alike,” Lohre said. “Of course, we have lots of shiny trucks, trucking company recruiters, vendors and suppliers and other trucking-specific displays but we also have exciting attractions as well, including our live bass fishing displays, Columbus Zoo animal exhibit, live music and entertainment.” Visitors can meet Sam Memmolo and Dave Bowman, TV hosts of “Motorhead Garage,” on Friday from 2:30 to 4 p.m. and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. The Trucking Expo will also award cash to a lucky attendee. Expo visitors can vote for their favorite truck exhibited by a truck dealer in the Expedite Progressive Drivers Choice Award. Their ballot is also their entry form and the lucky winner will pocket $1,000. The expedited truck-
ing industry is composed primarily of small business people who own and operate their own trucks. Since the event’s inception in 2001, the Expedite Expo has featured a roster of trucking recruiters who share the opportunities available at their companies for owner-operators and drivers. Workshops on the business of trucking are an important part of the Expedite Expo and the always-popular workshops feature two full days of the informative, free sessions. From buying a truck to performing maintenance, the workshops offer trucking professionals who speak on a variety of topics. The Expedite Expo features the nation’s top truck dealers who exhibit the newest and most innovative truck equipment available in North America. Manu-
factures and dealers typically utilize the Expo to roll out their new models to the trucking audience. “We’ve got music!” said Lohre. There will be a live by Crystal concert Shawanda at 10 p.m. Friday. “Crystal comes to us from Canada,” Lohre said. “In 2009 she was named by Canadian Country Music Association Female Artist of the Year, and has toured Brad Paisley, with Dierks Bently and Reba McEntire.” On Saturday, local Indiana natives Pure Grain will perform at 11 a.m. in the Expo Hall. “And, it’s all familyfriendly entertainment,” Lohre added. Dave Nemo, who Lohre said is a legend in trucking radio, will broadcast on Sirius XM Radio live from the Expo with interviews and show reports.
Food bank head to retire LIMA — The board of trustees is announcing the retirement of Bambi L. Markham as CEO of the West Ohio Food Bank after more than 19 years of serving in that position. Markham took on the challenge of leading the organization while it was still in its infancy and has been responsible for leading it through much growth and expansion of its services to the residents, of the food bank’s 11county service area in Western Ohio, representatives said. A mission-
driven leader, she has also been an advocate for eliminating hunger on the state and national levels. During her tenure as CEO she has grown the food distribution from 750,000 pounds annually to more than 6.5 million pounds of food and grocery items in 2011. This has been possible through the efforts of staff development, food and financial donor cultivation and securing regional, state and national food distribution programs.
Goodyear tests tires made with soybean oil AKRON (AP) — Goodyear is testing tires made with soybean oil as it tries to cut its use of petroleum and extend tread life. The Akron company said Tuesday that its researchers have found that the tread on tires made partially with soybean oil can last 10 percent longer than current tires. The soybean oil, which comes from a renewable resource, could cut Goodyear’s use of petroleum by up to 7 million gallons per year, the
company said in a statement. Goodyear said prototype tires built at the company’s Lawton, Okla., plant will be tested at proving grounds in Texas in the coming month. If tests are positive, the soy oil could be used to make tires by 2015. Testing has shown that rubber compounds made with soybean oil blend better than petroleum with the silica used to build tires, Goodyear said.
When Markham became director of the West Ohio Food Bank, it was a Subsidiary Distributing Organization (SDO) of the Mid-Ohio Food Bank in Columbus. She completed compliance requirements that allowed the food bank to become a member of the National Association of Feeding America. This enabled it to receive more support and a better variety of food items. Also during her tenure, she qualified the food bank for USDA foods for all 11 counties, implemented a Senior program and Commodity Supplemental Food Program (CSFP) support for food impoverished seniors 60 years and older. Locally, under her guidance, a “Backpack Program” for children has been implemented in five counties for children who qualify for free school lunches but are challenged to have enough to eat during the weekends. On the state level, Markham was a leader in working with the Ohio Association of 2nd Harvest Food Banks to gain the support of state legislatures in the fight against hunger in Ohio. This resulted in the Ohio

Food Banks being included in the state budget with an allocation to feed hungry Ohioans. She also was a driver in securing the support of Ohio farmers to start an Agricultural Surplus Program for the state, which has resulted in a variety of produce being distributed to the food-challenged population. One of the biggest challenges Markham faced was to raise funds to make a down payment and secure funding to purchase adequate facilities to support the growth of the West Ohio Food Bank. This was accomplished when the organization purchased its current facility on Kibby Street. Not only does this site provide adequate warehouse space but it also contains sufficient cooler and freezer space to allow for up to 20 million pounds of food distribution annually. There will be a community open house and reception to honor Bambi Markham Aug. 1 from 4 to 6 p.m. at the West Ohio Food Bank, 1380 E. Kibby, St., Lima. The public is invited and encouraged to attend. There will be a brief program at 5 p.m.

BY FRANCES DRAKE For Thursday, July 26, 2012 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Even though you’re tempted to settle wills, inheritances, shared property and insurance matters, postpone this kind of thing until next week. (Or Saturday at the earliest.) TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) You simply will have to go more than halfway when dealing with others today, because the Moon is opposite your sign. This is no big deal. Just be your charming, gracious self. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Attend to business as usual at work today. Avoid making important decisions or major expenditures until next week. Just carry on. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) This is a fabulous, playful day! You’re interested in the theater, the arts and sports. Romance might be promising. Enjoy playful activities with children. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) This is a pleasant, down-home day. Enjoy interactions with family members. However, do not shop for home and family, and do not buy real estate today or tomorrow. (Wait until Saturday.) VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) This is an easygoing day with others; however, do not sign important documents or make important decisions. Postpone this sort of thing until next week. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Be very careful in financial matters today. This is a poor day for important decisions, especially with cash expenditures. Shop for nothing other than food. (This restriction applies to tomorrow as well.) SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) This is a pleasant day; however, you might be a bit more emotional than usual. Just kick back and relax. Don’t get too excited about anything. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) You will enjoy working behind the scenes or working alone today, because you need a bit of privacy. Don’t commit to anything important. Just stick to your routine. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) You’ll enjoy the company of others, especially in group settings. It’s fine to discuss anything and get data, but don’t agree to anything important before Saturday. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Some aspect of your private life probably will be made a bit public today. Be aware that people in authority will discover whatever it is. (Hopefully, you have nothing to hide.) PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Enjoy a getaway trip somewhere or some minor travel. Discussions with people from other countries and different backgrounds will interest you as well. Your curiosity is aroused, and you’re open to learning new things. YOU BORN TODAY You’re direct in your speech and your actions when you go after what you want. You have a deep understanding of society and what is going on around you, which is why you are timely and influential. You can be personally influential within your own family as well.

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