That was the number it kept coming down to as Jackson Center Superintendent Bill Reichert and School Board President Brad Wren waited at the Shelby County Board of Elections office for the results of Tuesday’s vote on the proposed school levy. First in were the results from Jackson Center Village and Jackson Township. The

village reported 132 votes for the 0.5 percent income tax levy and 69 against, while the township came in with 80 votes for the levy and 125 against. The calculators came out. That made for a total of 212 for the levy and 194 against. Close — but it meant smiles.

Mary Lou Bornhorst FORT LORAMIE — Mary Lou Bornhorst, 82, of Fort Loramie, passed away peacefully, surrounded by her family, on Sunday, Aug. 5, 2012, at Dorothy Love Retirement Community. Mary Lou, the youngest of 13 children, was born on Nov. 25, 1929, in Fort Loramie, to John and Anna Borchers, both deceased. She graduated from Fort Loramie High School in 1947, and on May 22, 1951, she was married to Homer J. Bornhorst, who survives her. Since that time, Mary Lou and Homer have been major contributors to the civic and church life of Fort Loramie and are widely known for their untiring work for St. Michael Catholic Church, their steady support of friends and family in times of need, and their dashing moves on dance floors from the Caribbean to Honolulu. Mary Lou devoted her life to her husband, her children, her community and her parish, where she built a career in religious education that began in 1961 and continued until her retirement in 2007. She regularly devoted countless hours preparing lesson plans for the religion courses she taught, ultimately becoming a co-diof religious rector education (1979-1995), a director of the youth ministry, an instructor at local marriage encounter functions, and a member of the parish council and education commission (1971-1995). Her leadership skills, teaching talent, and commitment to social justice led her to active involvement in the Cincinnati Archdiocese as a member of its pastoral council (1979-1985) and Social Action/World Peace Commission (1984-1990). Mary Lou’s strong faith also led her to actively participate in many outreach programs, including hosting foster children and foreign exchange students, organizing hunger walks, volunteering at FISH, and organizing Casseroles for a Cause at the Holy Angels Soup Kitchen. Mary Lou’s greatest joy and passion

were her best friend, Homer, and their four sons, two daughters and their families. She is survived by her c h i l d r e n , Theodore J. and Laurie (Hanner) Bornhorst, of Houghton, Mich.; Richard J. and Stephanie (Hertenstein) Bornhorst, of Findlay; Mary Jo A. and Rhondale Haynes, of Springboro; William J. and Ann (Dugan) Bornhorst, of Roswell, Ga.; Katherine A. and Kevin Thomason, of Dallas, Texas; and Donald J. Bornhorst, of Sidney. She is also survived by 13 grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by 11 of her 12 siblings: Martha Hilgefort, Clarence Borchers, Anthony Borchers, Louis Herbert Borchers, Borchers, Emma Kaiser, Mildred Barhorst, Leona Steineman, Helen Barga, John Borchers, and Albert Borchers, and is survived by her beloved sister, Agnes Winner. The family treasures many fond memories of Mary Lou, but most of all her caring nature and selfless support of others, whether friends, family or strangers. Through her unwavering Catholic faith, she challenged everyone she touched to always think of others first. The family has requested that, in lieu of flowers, donations be made to the Community Foundation of Shelby County—Homer and Mary Lou Bornhorst Family Scholarship Fund benefiting Fort Loramie High School students (100 South Main Avenue, Sidney, OH 45365) or the American Cancer Society. Visitation is on Thursday, Aug. 9, 2012, from 2 to 8 p.m. and Friday, Aug. 10, 2012, from 9 to 10 a.m. at Hogenkamp Funeral Home, Minster. The funeral Mass is on Friday, Aug. 10, 2012, starting at 10:30 a.m. at St. Michael Catholic Church, Fort Loramie, with burial to follow at St. Michael Cemetery, Fort Loramie.

STATE NEWS Deputy suspended after K-9 dies in hot patrol car CELINA — Mercer County Sheriff ’s deputy Chad Fortkamp has been suspended for 45 work days without pay for leaving his K-9 partner Zak in a hot patrol car causing the dog’s death. The suspension will amount to about $6,500 lost salary, Sheriff Jeff Grey said. The Mercer County prosecutor will decide if any charges will be filed. Grey made the announcement during a press conference Monday. The dog, who suffered a pre-existing heart condition, is believed to have died after being aggravated by the temperature inside the deputy’s cruiser. Zak’s veterinarian said that even a healthy dog may not have survived the heat. A teary-eyed Fortkamp said he takes responsibility for his actions causing the dog’s death. He was responding to an injury crash in the county at the time of the dog’s death. Fortkamp had come to the sheriff ’s office while off duty to assist with reconstruction work related to a July 14 traffic accident that had claimed two lives. He said he would give anything to be able to be able to bring the dog back to be with him. Sheriff Grey said the cruiser was not left running and its air conditioning was not left on as is sheriff ’s department procedure. A heat alarm system inside the cruiser was also not running. The sheriff said the department plans to suspend its K-9 program until further notice after losing two dogs within the last three years. Blek, another German Shepherd, died in 2010 of an intestinal obstruction. Deputy Fortkamp was also his handler.

Career Center teacher dies after falling off trail in park BY SUSAN HARTLEY Ohio Community Media shartley@dailycall.com PIQUA — His smile, an encouraging word, his faith — three things those who knew Dave Stace will remember about their teacher and friend. Stace, 40, an Upper Valley Career Center math teacher, died this past weekend Stace after suffering a 70-foot fall while on a trail in the Shenandoah National Park in Virginia. He was in Virginia as part of a men’s backpacking trip from Grace Brethren Church in Troy. According to a statement by Career Center officials on their Facebook page, “rescue efforts to reach Mr. Stace were heroic,” but he passed away Sunday evening from injuries suffered during the fall. Stace began his teaching career with the Career Center in 1996, said Jason Haak, Career Center executive director. “He will be greatly missed,” Haak said. “He was a great teacher and always had a smile on his face. He talked strongly

about his family and his faith and his love for kids.” Ammon Walker, 17, of Troy, and an upcoming senior at the Career Center, said he was looking forward to seeing Mr. Stace when school resumes in September. “Mr. Stace was a great teacher. I had Mr. Stace as a teacher for my junior year. He was always there to help whenever someone needed it. He always came to school with a big smile on his face. He always waved to me as I passed by him in the halls on my to my first class in the morning. He was probably the best math teacher I had,” Walker said. “I had him the last period of the day and I always left his class with a smile.” Students will always remember Stace and his “pi day” activity. “He had fun things to do, like pi day by bringing in pie,” Walker said. “He tried to make math real to his students, he taught it in a way that the students could use it in real life. He was always patient with his students and did everything he could to give them a good grade. I was looking forward to seeing him my senior year. The UVCC will miss him.” Cosmetology student Tabitha McKitrick, 16, of Covington, also

will be a senior at the Career Center this year. McKitrick said she will remember Stace for the sympathy he showed her when her brother passed away last year. “When my brother passed away last December, Mr. Stace was there for me,” she said. “He would talk to me, and ask me if there was anything I needed. It’s good to know that they now finally get to meet.” McKitrick said she considers Stace a “great teacher, friend, and role model. He was the first teacher to show me that he really cared. He talked to me, and other classmates when we were going through hard times. He was patient, kind, understanding, and willing to help in any way he could. By far my favorite teacher that has ever taught me. He was always good at giving advice, and listening when anyone had a problem. I was never good at math, but he gave me the extra time that I needed, and walked me through the problem step by step. He always had a positive attitude, and loved his family so much.” Stace and his wife Tammy, of Fletcher, have three children, Talia, Keara and Josalyn. According to Pastor Shawn Hess of Grace Baptist Church,

Stace served as a deacon for the congregation and was active with the church’s AWANA program. He also assisted his wife with the GEMS ministry, which ministered to families with special needs children, both in the church and the community. Hess said Stace had a belief that he often shared and that was “if he could reach just one person for Christ it was worth it.” Hess continued to say that Stace had “suffered from seizures for years and that he also often said ‘if I have to endure this for that’”— bringing someone to Christ — “that it was worth it. Although he’s not here to say it, he would probably say the same thing about his death — that it was worth it.” The Career Center’s statement on the passing of Stace also mentions his spiritual faith. “Students, friends and coworkers will always remember David Stace as a man of great faith who never hesitated to share a laugh of his love of God and family. His belief in a greater plan provides the comfort and strength we need to celebrate his life and endure his passing.” Funeral services for Stace are pending with Baird Funeral Home, Troy.

Land donated to city $13,000 below last year’s $87,980. Totals to date are $74,000 with the pool scheduled to close Aug 19. Gaier said several factors, including the summer’s extreme heat, have played into the economic decline. Moma Rosa’s did not buy pool passes for all its employees this year. Other possibilities mentioned by board members include short-

ened pool hours and increased admission rates. The board also noted the retirement in June of Jim Daniels, a veteran city employee and parks department worker the past 15 or more years. “Sadly,” Gaier told the board, “he won’t be replaced.” The next recreation board meeting will be Sept. 10 at the municipal building.

In that robbery McLaren handed a clerk a note, written on the bank of a recipe card, indicating he had a firearm just like he did during the Tipp City bank robbery. He fled the store on foot with $2,970 in cash. During that robbery the suspect was witnessed

wearing a chef ’s coat, police said. That robbery occurred at the bank while no customers were inside and no injuries were reported as a result of either bank heist. McLaren later surrendered to police officers with the Sidney Police Department two days later. Restitution was ordered in both cases.

The city will soon add a 6-acre tract of land to its parks system, but plans to develop a Brooklyn Avenue park have been abandoned, Park director Duane Gaier told Sidney’s Recreation Board Monday afternoon. The new parkland, Gaier said, is being donated to the city by Sidney Optometrist Bill Baar and his wife Carol. The tract is located on the back side of Tawawa Lake near Whipp Road. It will be surveyed for eventual annexation in October. The acquisition will increase the city’s available parkland to 226 acres. On a less positive note, Gaier told board members the city has abandoned plans to seek a grant for development of the South Brooklyn Avenue property due to its environmental issues. Gaier reminded the board the area was once a dumping grounds that had included barrels of PCVs and other toxic or noxious items. Board members then learned municipal swimming pool numbers are down this summer, some

NATION/WORLD TODAY IN HISTORY BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Today is Wednesday, Aug. 8, the 221st day of 2012. There are 145 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Aug. 8, 1942, during World War II, six Nazi saboteurs who were captured after landing in the U.S. were executed in Washington, D.C.; two others who’d cooperated with authorities were spared. On this date: ■ In 1815, Napoleon Bonaparte set sail for St. Helena to spend the remainder of his days in exile. ■ In 1911, President William Howard Taft signed a measure raising the number of U.S. representatives from 391 to 433, effective with the next Congress, with a proviso to add two more when New Mexico and Arizona became states. ■ In 1937, during the Second Sino-Japanese War, Japan completed its occupation of Beijing. ■ In 1945, President Harry S. Truman signed the U.S. instrument of ratification for the United Nations Charter. The Soviet Union declared war against Japan during World War II. ■ In 1953, the United States and South Korea initialed a mutual security pact. ■ In 1963, Britain’s “Great Train Robbery” took place as thieves made off with 2.6 million pounds in banknotes. ■ In 1968, the Republican national convention in Miami Beach nominated Richard Nixon for president on the first ballot. ■ In 1973, Vice President Spiro T. Agnew branded as “damned lies” reports he had taken kickbacks from government contracts in Maryland, and vowed not to resign — which he ended up doing. ■ In 1974, President Richard Nixon announced his resignation, effective the next day, following damaging new revelations in the Watergate scandal. ■ In 1978, the U.S. launched Pioneer Venus 2, which carried scientific probes to study the atmosphere of Venus. ■ In 1992, AIDS activist Alison Gertz died in Westhampton Beach, Long Island, N.Y., at age 26. ■ In 1994, Israel and Jordan opened the first road link between the two once-warring countries. Ten years ago: Saddam Hussein organized a big military parade and then warned “the forces of evil” not to attack Iraq as he sought once more to shift the debate away from world demands that he live up to agreements that ended the Gulf War.

Baby deer rescued MOUNT SINAI, N.Y. (AP) — Police on New York’s Long Island spent over four hours rescuing a baby deer that fell into a 20foot-deep manhole. The cute, speckled creature scampered into the woods after it was released Thursday by its beaming, burly rescuers. Landscapers called Suffolk County police around 3:30 p.m. Thursday after they saw the deer fall into the hole near a vacant lot in Mount Sinai. Four emergency service officers responded. The officers said the deer looked scared and sounded like it was crying. One officer descended while wearing a breathing apparatus and a harness. He placed another harness on the deer. The team raised it to ground level around 8 p.m. They proudly posed for pictures with the fawn before releasing it.

Assad returns to public eye BEIRUT (AP) — Syrian President Bashar Assad made his first appearance on state TV in nearly three weeks Tuesday in a show of solidarity with a senior Iranian envoy, even as the U.S. urged stepped up international planning for the regime’s collapse. The visit to Damascus by the highestranking Iranian official since the uprising began coincided with a warning by an increasingly agitated Tehran that it holds the U.S. responsible for the fate of 48 Iranians seized by Syrian rebels. Appearing together on state TV, Assad

and Iran’s Saeed Jalili vowed to defeat the rebels and their backers, while U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton predicted Assad’s regime was quickly unraveling, with high-level defections such as his prime minister’s switch to the rebel side. Jalili’s visit highlighted Assad’s deepening reliance on a shrinking list of allies, led by Tehran. Assad — seen on state TV for the first time since a July 18 bombing in Damascus killed four of his top security officials — used Jalili’s visit to portray a sense of command and vowed to

fight his opponents “relentlessly.” Jalili, the secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, promised Iran would stand by Syria against its international “enemies” — a clear reference to the rebels’ Western backers and others such as Saudi Arabia and Qatar. While there were no public pledges of greater military assistance to Assad, the mission appeared to reflect Iran’s efforts to reassure Syria of its backing and ease speculation that Tehran also could be making contingencies for Assad’s possible fall.

LOOKING AT the negative results of the Shelby County Historical Society levy at the Board of Elections Tuesday night are levy supporters (l-r) Julie Gilardi, Linda DeVelvis, Tilda Phlipot and Carleen Pettit, all of Sidney.

LEVY proponents to tears. In a special election to consider a 0.25-mill levy, 10.69 percent of eligible voters went to the polls. The final tally was 2,226 votes against the levy, 1,213 for. Just three of 35 precincts passed the measure: Precinct 17, Anna Village, voted in favor 51 to 32; Precinct 22, Jackson Center Village, voted in favor 125 to 79; and Precinct 26, Fort Loramie Village, voted in favor 137 to 39. Sidney city precincts were overwhelmingly opposed to the levy. The 13 precincts voted against it by a total vote of 784 to 374. The results in precincts outside Sidney were 1,142 against, 859 against. There are a handful of provisional ballots that still need to be verified and counted, but they will not affect the outcome. Board members and staff of the Shelby County Historical Society (SCHS) in Sidney, the Anna District Historical Society (ADHS), the Jackson Center Community Historical Society (JCCHS), the Fort Loramie Historical Association (FLHA) and the Botkins Historical Society who gathered at the Board of Elections to wait for results became more

From Page 1 and more tense as precinct after precinct was reported. Cheerful camaradie turned to glum silence as what was extremely bad news to them mounted. When the totals were tallied, some left the building in tears. Their organizations had been counting on the funds the levy would have brought in to make needed repairs to artifacts and to upgrade their buildings to include heat. Some seemed to be concerned that they would even be able to continue to operate. “We’ll keep doing our best with what we have,” said SCHS co-president Julie Gilardi, of Sidney, when the results were in. “I don’t think we know at this point (what changes will have to be made because of the loss).” “We have to go back to our respective boards and see where we go from here,” said Linda DeVelvis, the other copresident. Doug Ware, a trustee of the JCCHS, said that voters will see this issue on a future ballot. “I’m not sure how soon, but we’re going to need the money,” he said. “I’m glad the people in Jackson Center said, ‘Yes.’ We did work hard. We

VOTE District. Auglaize voters were 10 against and three for the levy. Logan County was seven for and 13 against. Suddenly the outcome was 222 for and 217 against. Ahead by five. But there were still six provisional ballots that were not counted. One vote could swing it, but things still looked OK for the school officials. They still held on to their smiles — just a little more weakly. But there were a few more that had been almost forgotten. In the Salem East precinct are some voters in the Jackson Center District. Six came to the polls on Tuesday. All six said no to the levy. The unofficial total had turned the other way — 222 for the levy and 223 against. Those six provisional ballots are still uncounted and remain sealed in envelopes. Their eligibility will not be determined until the Board of Elections meeting on Aug. 20. Those that are determined by the board to be eligible will be

talked to a lot of people. They have a wonderful museum there with a lot of artifacts that need to be preserved. This was one way we were going to try to do that.” Jim Rosengarten, the curator of the FLHA, voiced everyone’s disappointment: “Naturally, we’re disappointed that it didn’t pass, but I’m glad it did pass in Fort Loramie, Anna and Jackson Center. I don’t know what we’ll do now, but we’ll limp along somehow. We have to keep on keepin’ on.” All of them expressed gratitude to volunteers and voters who looked favorably on the campaign. “Thanks to all of the positive voters in Shelby County for your confidence in our efforts to secure funding for historical societies in our county,” said Paul Workman, vice president of the ADHS. “Even though we weren’t able to pass this levy, we know that there are persons in Shelby County who wish to preserve our precious history for future generations.” Dawn Billing, director of the Board of Elections, said that there were no problems with the election. “It was quiet,” she said.

From Page 1 opened and counted at that time. Also, absentee ballots may still be received by the board office for 10 days after the election. Only those postmarked by the day before the election will be counted. As of press time Tuesday, it was not determined how many absentee ballots had not yet been returned. The superintendent had few words and just listened to Board of Elections member Chris Gibbs explain what happens next. “It’s just too early to tell,” Reichert said. “We’ll just let the Board of Elections do their jobs.” Gibbs explained about the provisional and absentee ballots. He also noted that Logan County Board of Elections had not yet contacted them to say if there were any provisional ballots there. Auglaize reported no provisionals. Gibbs also explained that a recount would be required by law if the outcome is within

1/2 percent either way. That would be less than three votes. If it is not within that margin, Gibbs said an organization may pay the board to conduct a recount. On the ballots counted already, results reported a total of five undervotes in the relevant precincts. Whether or not the voters’ intent may be determined in the case of a recount will also be a question for the board to decide. “The ground will shift (until the election results are certified Aug. 20),” Gibbs said. “We’ve got a process to follow, so we’re going to follow it. We’re going to follow procedure.” Until then, Jackson Center School District can only wait. Gibbs could commiserate for the uncertainty. “Democracy is not a clean sport,” Gibbs said. Reichert and Wren said they would be at the Board of Elections for the 7 a.m. Aug. 20 meeting.

NEW YORK (AP) — Marvin Hamlisch was blessed with perfect pitch and an infallible ear. “I heard sounds that other children didn’t hear,” he wrote in his autobiography. He turned that skill into writing and arranging compulsively memorable songs that the world was unable to stop humming — from the mournful “The Way We Were” to the jaunty theme from “The Sting.” Prolific and seeming without boundaries, Hamlisch, who died at 68 after a short illness, composed music for film heroes from James Bond and Woody Allen, for powerful singers such as Liza Minnelli and Aretha Franklin, and high-kicking dancers of the Tony-winning “A Chorus Line.” To borrow one of his song titles, nobody did it better. “He was a true musical genius, but above all that, he was a beautiful human being. I will truly miss him,” said Barbra Streisand, who first met the composer in 1963 and sang his “The Way We Were” to a Grammy win in 1974. “It was his brilliantly quick mind, his generosity, and delicious sense of humor that made him a delight to be around.” Hamlisch collapsed and died Monday in Los Angeles after a brief illness, his publicist Ken Sunshine said, citing the family. Other details were not released. The New York-born Hamlisch composed more than 40 film scores, including “Sophie’s Choice,” “Ordinary People,” “The Way We Were” and “Take the Money and Run.” His latest work came for Steven Soderbergh’s “The Informant!” Hamlisch became one of the most decorated artists in history, winning three Oscars, four Emmys, four Grammys, a Tony, a Pulitzer and three Golden Globes. The marquees of Broadway theatres in New York will be dimmed in his memory on Wednesday at 8 p.m.

To the editor: FISH Food Pantry/Thrift Shop wants to express its gratitude to Shelby County for your donations. Every day we have new families needing assistance. We have grandparents raising their grandchildren, with only Social Security and/or other retirement benefits available. I had a grandmother break down in my office, afraid of what will happen to her grandchildren if she can’t provide for them. The cost of groceries and other necessities are increasing and she wasn’t

sure how long she could continue. I told her as long as FISH was here, we would do all we could to help her and others like her. We can continue to do this with the generosity of our supporters. It can be slightly used items that we sell in our shop, food for our pantry, monetary donations, or new volunteers. We are committed to the citizens of Shelby County who need help.

Council waits for inspector’s swimming pool recommendations BY TOM BARNETT tbarnett@sdnccg.com Monday During night’s August Sidney City Council work session, two National Inspection Corp. officials promised to send the city a model swimming pool ordinance they have developed with 22 other cities. John Humphries, chairman of Ohio’s Election Advisory Board, and Andrew McKenzie, National Inspection Corp. president, were present as council revisited the city’s swimming code enforcement issue as earlier promised concerned pool owners, who were cited for violations. “By tweaking some definitions, you may

solve your problem,” Humphries told council as he reported a newer version of the National Electric Code does not include swimming pools. Continuing, he said, “There are only two definitions of pools, underground and storable. Be on board with us and other cities for a list of recommendations.” Humphries displayed a color brochure being drafted to illustrate recommended pool and equipment installations. “Call us anytime with questions,” he told council. Asked council’s next plan of action on its promise to pool owners, Mayor Mike Barhorst said the city will be awaiting receipt of the

inspectors’ model ordinance. Community Services Director Barbara Dulworth opened the discussion by stating, “City staff believes current regulations are appropriate minimum safefor private guards swimming pools, but if council wishes to amend regulations, there are several factors that can be addressed.” She then addressed the building inspector’s certification and the need for enforcement of Ohio’s Residential Code and the National Electric Code, explaining swimming pools, regardless of size and depth, are regulated to address three primary hazards, drowning, electrocution

and damage to adjacent real or personal property. “If council wishes to amend the definition of a swimming pool,” she said, “the city’s current regulations do not differentiate between a permanently installed pool and a temporarily installed pool. All pools are regulated solely on their size and depth. “If council chooses to increase the surface area and/or depth of a regulated pool, the change will affect the permanently installed pools city staff can regulate as well as temporarily installed pools. And if council chooses to define a pool in a less stringent manner than the National Electric Code., the

city will still be required to enforce their definitions.” Dulworth told council if members wish to amend the current requirement that pools must be located in rear yards at least 10 feet away from any side or rear property, they could eliminate location requirements altogether, greatly increasing hazards. Another option would be to require the pool to be in the rear yard with setbacks of 6 feet from the residence, a side property line setback of 5 feet and rear property line setback of 10 feet. She also said if council wishes to amend the height of the required fence or barrier, the

height should be no less than 4 feet. Following the swimming pool discussion, Jeff Amick, city law director, suggested potential updates to the city charter, council’s operating rules and possible alternate council meeting sites in the event of an emergency preventing municipal building access. Amick, in deference to the city’s present economic conditions, ruled out making city charter revisions that require the approval of voters, but told council legislation relating to council rules and alternate meeting places is being prepared for introduction at council’s Aug. 13 meeting.

BETHEL (AP) — The U.S. Agriculture Department says nearly $15 million will be available for battling the treekilling Asian longhorned beetle in Ohio. Secretary Tom Vilsack funding announced Tuesday in Washington. He says it will help federal and state officials step up tree inspection surveys to determine the extent of the infestation and ensure quick removal of beetle-bearing trees. The beetle was discov-

ered in a Clermont County area east of Cincinnati last year. A 56-square-mile regulated area in Tate Township and part of Monroe Township will be expanded to include land around two infested trees in Stonelick Township. So far, nearly 8,500 trees have been removed in Ohio. The beetles are believed to have arrived in cargo shipments from Asia. The first reported U.S. infestation was in 1996 in Brooklyn, N.Y.

Initially when I began my coursework, I had no idea how many wonderful things a speech therapist could treat throughout a person’s lifespan. I’m still amazed at my field and am always excited to continue my education with every patient I meet.” While with PT Services in Fremont Bergman worked in the hospital assisting in patients in ICU and stepdown units.

Department store in Fort Loramie early this morning. Firemen and equipment from Newport, Minster and New Bremen aided Fort Loramie firemen in fighting the blaze, pumping water from the nearby canal. The Minster outfit was pulled to the scene by motor truck and the pumps from the other towns were brought in by teams. The Willman residence just north of the store was also destroyed by the flames, although the Gregory meat market, farther to the north, was saved by firemen after strenuous efforts. ––––– At the organization of the local lodge of the Loyal Order of Moose last night, S.B.

In Canada, Nexium is marketed as a tablet; in the U.S., as a pill. The active ingredient is the same. Nexium is a member of the group of medicines called proton pump inhibitors. These medicines stop the production of stomach acid. The booklet on GERD, also called heartburn, explains this common disorder.

The plans call for lowering the floor of the room to street level and thus eliminating the steps at the entrance and make a more attractive entrance and display window. ––––– Officers of Minster have been experiencing considerable trouble with vagrants, transients, drunks and disorderly visitors during the summer months. Last week Marshal Harry Gephart was compelled to provide some new furnishings for the city jail. Two drunks were arrested by the marshal and night watchman, Ralph Poeppelman, and given quarters in the jail.

Fort Loramie native Jared Hoying’s season is winding down with the class “AA” Frisco Roughriders of the Texas League. Frisco is two levels below its parent, the two time defending AmeriLeague can champion Texas Hoying Rangers. On Monday night in San

Antonio, Hoying hit his fourth homer since being promoted to Frisco and also threw out a runner at the plate from right field.

Twitter subpoenaed over Tyson threat NEW YORK (AP) — The New York Police Department has used a subpoena to force Twitter to disclose information about the source of a tweet saying “people are gonna die” at the Broadway theater staging Tyson a one-man show by former heavyweight champ Mike Tyson, the department said Tuesday. The NYPD sought the subpoena after Twitter refused to cooperate in a probe of ominous posts that referenced the shooting deaths last month of 12 people last month at a showing of “The Dark Knight Rises” at an Aurora, Colo., movie theater, said NYPD spokesman Paul Browne. Police received new information from Twitter on Tuesday “that we’re using as part of our ongoing investigation,” the spokesman said. He offered no further details. A Twitter spokeswoman

declined to comment Tuesday. Police say the tweets appeared aimed at the audience for “Mike Tyson: Undisputed Truth,” the solo show directed by Spike Lee at the Longacre Theater in midtown Manhattan. “This s--- ain’t no joke yo I'm serious people are gonna die just like in aurora,” police said one tweet read. Another from the same account warned, “I’m in Florida rite now, but it’ll happen i promise I’m just finishing up my hit list.” Before complying with the subpoena, Twitter had told the NYPD in an email, “We appreciate the timeliness and sensitivity of this matter, and have reviewed the reported Twitter account. While we do invoke emergency disclosure procedures when it appears that a threat is present, specific and immediate, this does not appear to fall under those strict parameter as per our policies.” Browne said the NYPD has beefed up security at Longacre as a precaution.

Allmendinger: tested positive for ADHD drug CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Suspended NASCAR driver AJ Allmendinger says he tested positive for a prescription drug typically used to treat attention deficit disorder. Allmendinger said in an interview with ESPN Almendinger that he took Adderall a couple of days before the race at Kentucky Speedway on June 30 because he was tired. He does not have ADHD or a prescription for the drug. He says a friend gave him the pill and said it was a workout supplement that would give him energy. Two days later he was randomly tested at the racetrack. Allmendinger told ESPN

that he wasn’t informed what drug triggered the positive test — only that it was an amphetamine — until after a B sample was tested July 24. Allmendinger, who said he had never taken the drug before, is now going through NASCAR’s Road to Recovery program. He said he hopes to complete the program by the end of August. Spokesman David Higdon said NASCAR is unaware of the specific substance Allmendinger took. Higdon said testing won’t reveal the brand of a substance.

THIS PHOTO shows the damage done by a utility truck that drove across the Lehman High School soccer field attempting to reach a right-of-way along the CSX Railroad. The heavy rains that fell over the weekend caused the truck to sink in mud, and it had to be towed, which added to the damage.

Utility truck leaves LHS soccer fields unplayable Lehman High School athletic director Dick Roll received an unwelcome phone call Sunday morning. The caller advised him that the school’s soccer field had been driven across, resulting in substantial damage. Apparently, a utility truck had driven across the field in an attempt to reach the company’s right-of-way along the CSX Railroad. The right-ofway forms the school’s eastern property line. Roll contacted the school president, Mike Barhorst. Both walked across the field and upon closer inspection, discovered that not only was the competition field seriously damaged, but the practice field as well. “After a bit of investigation, we learned that the driver of the utility truck apparently became stuck while crossing the competition field. In an effort to extricate the truck, he called for assistance from a towing company, and the tow truck driver proceeded to cause even further damage to the (main) field,” Barhorst said. Girls soccer coach Tony Schroeder and boys coach Tom Thornton joined Roll and Barhorst in inspecting the fields. “Both fields will need to be repaired before we can even practice on them,” Schroeder said. “The vehicle operator drove right past the soccer goals, and had to know that he was driving across soccer fields.” Barhorst contacted the utility company immediately, but was advised that he would have to wait to talk to the claim’s department Monday morning. “The operator with whom I spoke was extremely apolo-

Thornton, who operates Tom’s Lawn and Landscape, estimated that the repair of the fields would run into the thousands of dollars. “Driving across the fields after a five-inch rain event

was simply irresponsible,” Thornton stated. “The sooner we can begin to repair the fields, the easier and cheaper it will be to accomplish the task.” “In the past, (utility) crews have parked on the Interstate 75 right-of-way and simply walked to the pole and made the necessary repairs,” Barhorst said. “I’ve been associated with the school for the better part of four decades, and we’ve never experienced this kind of thing before. It’s hard to explain.”

Browns rookie Richardson skips practice play, Montario Hardesty will get the chance to show if he has progressed.

He did miss practice time last week with what Shurmur said was a headache.

Shurmur didn’t seem as worried about Watson,

who missed time last season with a concussion. He stopped short of saying the nine-year pro would play when Cleveland opens the preseason Friday in Detroit. “He’s doing fine,” Shurmur said. “He’ll be back out here soon.

BEREA, Ohio (AP) — Trent Richardson may miss his first game for the Cleveland Browns. The highly regarded rookie was not in pads, his left leg was wrapped, and he did not participate in practice at all on Tuesday. “There’s a chance he won’t play on Friday,” coach Pat Shurmur said. “He’s got a sore knee and is being evaluated.” It could be the result of going full-bore the past two weeks on a knee that was surgically repaired this spring. That’s one of the reasons Richardson did not fully participate in the NFL combine in April. “It was a little scope,” Richardson said at the time of what was termed minor surgery. “I don’t even call it a setback.” It didn’t keep Cleveland (No. 30 in the AP Pro32) from trading up to No. 3 in the draft to select the tailback who helped lead Alabama to the national championship. And it didn’t prevent the Browns from signing Richardson to a four-year, $20.5 million contract. “I’m always concerned about injuries,” Shurmur said. “He’s been practicing well. We’ll just have

In their final Olympics together, Kerri Walsh Jennings and Misty MayTreanor are playing for something more. “We want to seal the deal that we’re the best team that’s ever happened,” Walsh Jennings said Tuesday night after the two-time gold medalists advanced to their third consecutive Olympic final with a 2220, 22-20 victory over China. “I want to win tomorrow for us. ... This will be our last match together, so we want to go out on top.” A few hours later, Kessy and Ross beat the top-seeded Brazilians in a persistent rain to join their fellow Californians in Wednesday night’s gold medal game. Prince Harry is expected to attend, following prime minister David Cameron by one night to the stands at Horse Guards Parade, which has also hosted such luminaries as Bill Gates, Prince Albert of Monaco, London Mayor Boris Johnson and a handful of NBA stars from the U.S. men’s basketball team. “I can’t believe it. I only let myself picture it in my dreams,” Ross said. “I never really expected it. I knew that we could do it, but the competition in the final four is so big.” Ross and Kessy ral-

RUSSIA — Residents in Russia and the surrounding area who love to read are not at all disadvantaged by being quite a few miles away from the main facility of the Amos Memorial Library system. The Russia Branch Library offers all the reading materials one could want, either in-house or through transfer from the main library or another branch. Deliveries are made on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. For example, if a person makes a request for a book on a Monday, and that book were available at another branch, it will typically be in the Russia building on Wednesday. Branch Supervisor Sheila Barhorst and Branch Associate Dott Poeppelman explained that people who use the branch may come from Versailles, Bradford, Houston or Covington, in addition to Russia residents. The Russia library building is housed in a building owned and maintained by the village of Russia at 200 Raider St. The Russia library recently observed its 20th anniversary, but the building appears to be much newer. The library is considered a community effort. Residents make donations and a volunteer mows the grass. There is even a Friends of the Library organization that provides for special requests from library staff. The library also works closely with the Russia School to coordinate activities. The building’s exterior has a residential tone, and when you walk inside, the interior has the atmosphere of a home, down to the homemade curtains provided from one of the community supporters. The library hosts a number of activities for children. Both Barhorst and Poeppelman enjoy the energy the children bring to library ac-

Sidney doctor retiring after 28 years Ear, nose and throat physician Welsh to leave Sept. 5 BY LEE JONES After 28 years of serving the public as an ear, nose and throat doctor, Randall Welsh is laying down his stethoscope. He will retire Sept. 5. Welsh has enjoyed “the everyday patient interaction” the most, but he is looking forward to spending some time with his new grandchild in North Carolina after retirement. His wife, Roxanne, just retired in May and they are ready for the change in pace that comes with retirement. He also plans to do some skiing, golfing, whitewater rafting, and maybe even looking for new hobbies. Some teaching may be in the works down the road as well. He said he has interest in teaching anatomy and physiology to nursing students at local community colleges. He remembers well when he first came to Sidney and how much he and Roxanne both loved the town. “We were looking to raise kids in a small town and we knew it was right,” he said, “The people were very lowkey, it was a great hospital, and the schools were great for our kids.” Recalling that experience, Welsh is able to identify with the doctors he and his associate, Dr. Darshan Vyas, are interviewing to replace him. “We’ve all been through it,” he said, “You have to recruit both the doctor and the spouse. That was one of the

Welsh has not worked only in Sidney. In the 1980s he and his former associate, Garry Harris, started a clinic in Belize, Central America, which had no

ENT doctors at the time. “The goal was to get a local person trained in the specialty,” Welsh said. “We accomplished that. Now there are two doctors there.” He said they still send some equipment there from time to time, but they essentially worked themselves out of a job in Belize.

SNUFFY SMITH

BY FRANCES DRAKE For Thursday, Aug. 9, 2012 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Family relations are very sweet and friendly today. You also enjoy doing any kind of redecorating at home, because it will please you to make things look more beautiful. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Today it’s easy to appreciate just how much love there is in your daily world. In fact, you also might appreciate how much beauty there is around you. How cool is that? GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) If shopping today, beware of spending too much on elegant luxury. Of course, if you’re part of the 1 percent and have the dough to blow, that’s your business. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Today you feel unusually sympathetic. Because of this, your relations with others will be full of tenderness and understanding. It’s a good day to mend broken fences. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) You feel pleased with yourself today. Because this is like approving of yourself, it’s easier for you to approve of others. (This is how it always works.) VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Friendships are sweet and reassuring today. You feel grateful to have someone you can turn to. Just be careful you don’t idealize this friend who is also a frail mortal like you. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) You might develop a crush on a boss, authority figure or even a distant celebrity today. This attraction is not grounded in reality, which makes it particularly seductive. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Travel for pleasure totally appeals to you today. If you have a chance to travel anywhere, grab it. Your appreciation of beauty also is heightened. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Because you have feelings of sympathy for the underdog today, be careful that you don’t give away the farm. Meanwhile, romantic intimacy will be sweet and tender (and memorable). CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) It’s easy to relate to others today. You have a sense of where they are coming from, and vice versa, which makes a mutual understanding easier. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Look for ways to help co-workers if you can today. Someone needs to confide in you, or a person needs your assistance. (This could also be vice versa.) PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Love at first sight might take place for some of you. It’s very easy to be starryeyed about someone, because you have Vaseline on your lens today. YOU BORN TODAY You are convincing and a tower of strength to those around you. You are courageous and determined once you have set your goals. You like to be well-prepared and will educate yourself for any endeavor. (You do your homework.) You are also a giving, generous person. Work hard to build or construct something this year because your rewards soon will follow.
