BY ANDREW TAYLOR The Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — The Treasury Department said Tuesday that the national debt has topped $16 trillion, the result of chronic government deficits that have poured more than $50,000 worth of red ink onto federal ledgers for every man, woman and child in the United States.

The news was greeted with a round of press releases from Barack Obama’s GOP rivals, who used the grim-butexpected news to criticize the president for the government’s fiscal performance over his 3 1/2 years in office. Obama has presided over four straight years of trillion dollar-plus deficits after inheriting a weak economy from his predecessor, George W. Bush. “We can no longer push off

the tough decisions until tomorrow,” said No. 2 House Republican Eric Cantor, R-Va. “It’s time to address the serious fiscal challenges we face and stop spending money we don’t have.” Last summer, Cantor dropped out of a set of budget talks hosted by Vice President Joe Biden, citing the insistence of the White House on tax increases to help close deficits that require the government to borrow 33

cents of every dollar it spends. The spiraling debt means that lawmakers and the eventual winner of the White House in November will have to pass a law early next year to raise the government’s borrowing cap from the current ceiling of $16.39 trillion. Passing such legislation last year proved enormously difficult and the nation’s credit rating suffered. See DEBT/Page 3A

Sidney Noon Kiwanis members Gary Heitmeyer, Robert Geuy and Tom Burns, all of Sidney, form an assembly line to prepare the meals for the annual chicken dinner held Monday at the Shelby County Fairgrounds. Proceeds from the event will be used for Kiwanis community improvement projects.

Shelby County officials are still planning to file a lawsuit against former Shelby County Sheriff Dean Kimpel and have been in discussion with the Ohio Attorney General on how to move forward. Shelby County Commissioner Julie Ehemann said the county is communicating with the AG’s office for help in finding a prosecutor who can handle the case. Shelby County Prosecutor Ralph Bauer has recused himself from the case. Ehemann said the commissioners learned that if Bauer submitted a written request See LAWSUIT/Page 10A

BOE approves pilot program BY RACHEL LLOYD rlloyd@sdnccg.com The Sidney City Schools Board of Education voted unanimously Tuesday evening to launch a pilot program for an alternative school based at Sidney High School, despite some misgivings by several involved in the conversation. In the end, it was the convincing argument such a pro-

gram would be of benefit to atrisk kids, as well as a considerable cost savings to the district, that won over the more dubious — that and the understanding that approving a one-year pilot program would not equal a long-term commitment if program does not succeed. The first year of the program will be funded entirely by Race to the Top grant funds, meaning there is es-

sentially no cost to the district for the test run. Removal of some of the SHS students currently at the alternative school at the Cooperative Learning Center will also mean a cost savings for the district. Presenting the proposal to the board were assistant principals Jason McLain and Brooke Gessler, who explained that the program would be set up in existing

classroom space at the high school, which is currently being used for storage. There will be 12 licenses purchased for the PLATO Online Learning System, and the teaching will be online based. No teachers will need to be added to staff, as the students’ needs can be met by two educational aides and intervention specialists on staff already. See PROGRAM/Page 10A

Smithsonian curator to speak in Sidney

Viola

When Dr. Herman Viola, as an undergraduate student at Marquette University in Milwaukee, was given a particularly difficult assignment by a history professor, he had no idea it would shape his entire professional life. He just thought it was unfair that his assignment was hard and those of his classmates were easier.

It’s a story he will laughingly tell during a talk in Sidney Thursday as part of the Shelby County Native American Gathering presented by the Shelby County Historical Society. The talk is free and open to the public and will begin at 7 p.m. at Lehman High School. “The assignment was to research Thomas Loraine McKenney,” Viola

said by phone recently. “My friends had to research people like Henry Clay and John Calhoun.” McKenney was the first superintendent of Indian affairs, appointed in 1822. “That term paper became my master’s thesis, my doctoral dissertation and the basis of my first three books,” said the man who is See CURATOR/Page 7A

Public memorial service set for Neil Armstrong WASHINGTON (AP) — The nation will have a chance to say goodbye to Neil Armstrong, the first man to walk on the moon, in a memorial service at the Washington National Cathedral on Sept. 13. The 10 a.m. service will be broadcast live on NASA Television and streamed on the websites of the cathedral and space agency. It will be open to the public on a first come, first

DEBT First, however, lawmakers will try during a post-election lame duck session to renew Bushera tax cuts and head off a round of forced budget austerity as automatic budget cuts are scheduled in January to slam both the Pentagon and domestic programs. Those cuts were required by another failed set of budget talks last fall by a bipartisan “supercommittee.” Sen. Rob Portman, ROhio, said: “This debt will not only be a liability for our kids and grandkids, but economists also tell us that it will limit economic growth and kill millions of jobs now and in the future.” Portman was a member of last year’s failed supercommittee, which deadlocked over taxes and cuts to popular benefit programs. The debt topped the $16 trillion mark on Friday. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner has said the government will likely reach its debt limit at the end of the year. However, Geithner has said he will be able to employ various “extraordinary measures” to keep the government operating until sometime early next

served basis. Armstrong died Aug. 25 and had a private service in Ohio. The Apollo 11 crew delivered a moon rock to the cathedral in 1974 on the fifth anniversary of the moon landing. The service will be 50 years and one day after President John F. Kennedy announced a goal of sending a man to the moon by the end of the 1960s.

From Page 1 year. Geithner would need to use these measures if Congress, as expected, fails to tackle the debt limit by year’s end. Last year’s prolonged impasse between the GOP-dominated House and Democrats controlling the Senate and the White House contributed to a move by the ratings agency Standard & Poor’s (NYSE:MHP) to lower America’s AAA bond rating for the first time in the country’s history, nudging it down a notch to AA+ for long-term securities. GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney promises sharp spending cuts and a balanced budget by 2020 if he wins the White House, but has provided little detail about how that might be accomplished. For his part, Obama has declined to tackle the spiraling growth of benefit programs like Medicare and the Medicaid health program for the poor and disabled. His proposals to hike taxes on upper income earners have been repeatedly rejected by Republicans, but he promises to insist on them if he wins re-election.

‘Queen of Cocaine’ murdered BOGOTA (AP) — Griselda Blanco, a convicted drug trafficker who was once known as the “Godmother” and the “Queen of Cocaine,” has been shot to death by an unidentified gunman, police in Colombia said Tuesday. Col. Mauricio Cartagena of Medellin’s metropolitan police said Tuesday that the 69-year-old was killed at a butcher shop in the city on Monday. Cartagena said a man approached Blanco at the shop and fired before escaping on a motorcycle driven by another man. She died on her way to the hospital.

Defense: Kin spats led to hair attacks

Hours can’t be set for voting COLUMBUS (AP) — The state election chief on Tuesday barred counties from setting voting hours on disputed earlyvoting days, saying that establishing new times would confuse voters while a legal battle brought by President Barack Obama’s campaign continues. A federal judge last week granted a request from the campaign to give all voters in the key swing state the option of casting their ballots in person during the three days before Election Day. Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine said Tuesday in a court filing that he’s appealing the decision to the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Cincinnati. At issue is a part of the state’s law that cuts off early voting for most residents on the Friday evening before a Tuesday election. The law makes an exception for military personnel and Ohio voters living overseas. Secretary of State Jon Husted issued a directive to boards on Tuesday, saying they were “strictly prohibited” from determining hours for the Friday, Saturday, Sunday or Monday before the election because a court could later change them. “Announcing new hours before the court case reaches final resolution will only serve to confuse voters,” he said, adding that it would also conflict with his previous order that established uniform hours for the state. Husted, a Republican, has directed election boards in Ohio’s 88 counties to have the same early in-person voting hours on weekdays and have no hours on weekends. He said he’s confident there will be enough time for him at the conclusion of the appeals process to set hours on the final days before the Nov. 6 election. Democrats criticized DeWine and Husted’s actions on Tuesday, accusing them of being determined to limit voting opportunities. “Republicans should stop playing partisan games with our elections in a cynical attempt to sway the outcome,” Eric Kearney, the state Senate’s Democratic leader, said in a written statement.

IN THIS Aug. 25, 2010, file photo, “Noah” (left) and “Layla” prowl their enclosure at Stump Hill Farm in Massillon. Owners of exotic animals in Ohio must soon start registering their creatures with the state once a new law takes effect on Wednesday.

Ohio begins crackdown on exotic animal ownership COLUMBUS (AP) — Owners of exotic animals must soon start registering them with the state once a new law takes effect on Wednesday. The state’s restrictions on exotic pets have been among the nation’s weakest. Efforts to strengthen the law took on new urgency after owner Terry Thompson released 50 animals, including black bears, mountain lions and Bengal tigers, from his farm in Zanesville last October, then committed suicide. Authorities killed 48 of the animals as a public safety measure. Two others were believed to have been eaten by other animals. Here’s a look at Ohio’s new law: Rules for owners Ohio residents will be banned from buying and selling dangerous wild animals when the law takes effect on Wednesday. People are also generally prohibited from trading or transferring ownership, though that provision doesn’t apply in certain cases in which the owner dies. People will be banned from removing microchips implanted in the restricted animals. They also can’t remove the animals’ teeth or claws or knowingly release them back into the wild. Current owners can keep their creatures but must obtain a new state-issued wildlife shelter permit by Jan. 1, 2014. They must pass

background checks, pay fees, obtain liability insurance or surety bonds and show inspectors that they can properly contain the animal and care for it. Owners must also have microchips inserted into their dangerous animals so they can be identified if they get lost or escape. The animals have to be registered with the state by Nov. 5. Owners have to post signs on their property to alert people there are dangerous animals on the premises. If owners are denied permits or can’t meet the new requirements, the state can seize the animals. Animals affected The law defines “dangerous wild animals” as hyenas, elephants, lions, tigers, jaguars, gray wolves, leopards, bears, cheetahs, alligators, crocodiles, Komodo dragons, rhinoceroses, and hippopotamuses large primates such as gorillas and baboons, along with others. The new rules won’t apply to certain owners and animals. For instance, owners of smaller monkeys, such as certain marmosets or capuchins, will only have to register the primates but won’t need state-issued permits. Facilities accredited by some national zoo groups also will be exempt from the law, as are sanctuaries, circuses and research institutions. Owners of venomous and constricting snakes

will face new rules. The law creates a category of restricted snakes that anacondas, includes pythons, constricting snakes that are 12 feet or longer and other specified venomous snakes. Permits and fees Permits for bears, tigers and other dangerous animals will begin at $250 and could be more than $1,000, depending on the number of animals. Owners could start applying for permits with the agriculture department by Oct. 1, 2013. Insurance policies for the creatures could range from $200,000 to as high as $1 million, depending on the number of animals. State costs Estimated costs for the first year of the program are $600,000 to $720,000. The Legislature set aside $500,000 to help with the startup costs. Gov. John Kasich’s administration hopes to help pay for it with permit fees from owners. Ohio officials also want to spend $3.5 million build a state facility that would temporarily house potentially dozens of exotic animals confiscated under the law. The state Controlling Board, which handles certain adjustments to the state budget, would have to approve the request for the money. ——— Online: Ohio Department of A g r i c u l t u r e : http://1.usa.gov/PnQAGc

CLEVELAND (AP) — Hair-cutting attacks against people in Amish communities outside the city were tinged with squabbles over money, child-rearing and even the way some women in the conservative settlements dressed, more like a family feud than a series of hate crimes, say attorneys for members of a breakaway group accused of carrying them out. The defense attorneys, while not denying that the hair-cuttings took place, want to convince jurors that religious differences between the Amish were not the motivating factor and that the attacks didn’t amount to amount hate crimes — the most serious charges against the 16 defendants. Prosecutors say the defendants, who could face lengthy prison terms if convicted, planned or took part in at least one of five attacks last fall, cutting off Amish men’s beards and women’s hair because they carry spiritual significance in the faith. The trial, which began last week in federal court, is expected to last two or three weeks, with testimony resuming Wednesday. A few of the defense attorneys acknowledged last week that their clients participated in the hair-cuttings and deserved to be punished but maintained that the Amish have a closed society and are accustomed to

handling their own problems. Some said the defendants had become concerned that their estranged family members and others were straying from their religion and took action to get them back together. “They will take upon their selves to correct others’ behavior,” attorney Brian Pierce told jurors. “Some of the things they do may seem strange to us.” The attorney for Sam Mullet Sr., accused of being the group’s ringleader, says the intent wasn’t to hurt anybody. “What he’s saying is these are personal, family disputes,” attorney Ed Bryan said during opening statements. In what prosecutors say was the first attack, six siblings and their spouses hired a driver and traveled for two hours to an Amish settlement in Bergholz, a small village 80 miles southeast of Cleveland. The group took off their father’s hair and beard and then took off 2 feet of their mother’s hair, one of the participants testified last week. Nancy Burkholder, who received immunity from prosecution in exchange for her testimony, said she and her five brothers were upset with their parents after they moved out of the settlement led by Mullet. She said they wanted their mother and father to see their mistakes “to help get them to heaven.”

Court: Prison nurse can be sued in inmate’s death CINCINNATI (AP) — A prison nurse isn’t immune from being sued over an inmate’s 2009 death following a violent seizure from alcohol withdrawals, a federal appeals court panel ruled Tuesday. Nurse Jennifer McCune had sought immunity as a government employee in the death of Michael Reid at the Richland County jail in Mansfield in northern Ohio. A lower court denied that request in July 2011, and a three-judge panel of the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Cincinnati upheld that decision in its ruling Tuesday.

“A reasonable jury could conclude that McCune acted with a perverse disregard for a risk under Ohio law,” the panel wrote, calling Reid’s death “tragic.” McCune’s phone number wasn’t listed, and her Columbus attorney, Daniel Downey, didn’t immediately return a call for comment Tuesday. Reid was taken to the jail after he was arrested on April 2, 2009, on a probation violation for drinking alcohol; his blood-alcohol level was .35 percent, more than four times the legal limit, according to court records.

TODAY IN HISTORY BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Today is Wednesday, Sept. 5, the 249th day of 2012. There are 117 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Sept. 5, 1972, terrorism struck the Munich Olympics as members of the Palestinian group Black September attacked the Israeli delegation; 11 Israelis, five guerrillas and a police officer were killed in the resulting siege. On this date: ■ In 1774, the first Continental Congress assembled in Philadelphia. ■ In 1793, the Reign of Terror began during the French Revolution as the National Convention instituted harsh measures to repress counter-revolutionary activities. ■ In 1836, Sam Houston was elected president of the Republic of Texas. ■ In 1912, American avant-garde composer John Cage was born in Los Angeles. ■ In 1914, the First Battle of the Marne, resulting in a French-British victory over Germany, began during World War I. ■ In 1939, four days after war had broken out in Europe, President Franklin D. Roosevelt issued a proclamation declaring U.S. neutrality in the conflict. ■ In 1945, JapaneseAmerican Iva Toguri D’Aquino, suspected of being wartime broadcaster “Tokyo Rose,” was arrested in Yokohama. (D’Aquino was later convicted of treason and served six years in prison; she was pardoned in 1977 by President Gerald R. Ford.) ■ In 1957, the novel “On the Road,” by Jack Kerouac, was first published by Viking Press. ■ In 1961, President John F. Kennedy signed legislation making aircraft hijackings a federal crime. ■ In 1975, President Gerald R. Ford escaped an attempt on his life by Lynette “Squeaky” Fromme, a disciple of Charles Manson, in Sacramento, Calif. ■ In 1986, four hijackers who had seized a Pan Am jumbo jet on the ground in Karachi, Pakistan, opened fire when the lights inside the plane failed; a total of 22 people were killed in the hijacking. ■ In 1997, Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II broke the royal reticence over Princess Diana’s death, delivering a televised address in which she called her former daughter-in-law “a remarkable person.” Mother Teresa died in Calcutta, India, at age 87; conductor Sir Georg Solti died in France at age 84.

OUT OF THE BLUE

Deer goes swimming in pool COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (AP) — A wandering deer found himself in hot water after stepping on a pool cover and making a big splash in the backyard of a Colorado home. Homeowner Scott Smith says he found the buck in his ground-level pool Sunday morning trying to wrestle his way out of the pool cover. Smith says he had no idea when the deer wandered onto the patio in the backyard of his Colorado Springs home. KOAA-TV reports that firefighters built a ramp to help the animal out. Photos show the buck was coaxed out of the pool with rope to guide his way up the ramp. The deer ran off as soon as he got out of the water, some four hours after he was discovered in the pool.

HOUSE MINORITY Leader Nancy Pelosi and the Democratic women of the House of Reppresentives wave to the delegates atthe Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, N.C., on Tuesday.

Dems: Romney ‘doesn’t get it’ CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Democrats ridiculed Republican Mitt Romney as a millionaire candidate for president who “quite simply doesn’t get it” and worse on Tuesday, opening night of a national convention aimed at propelling Barack Obama to re-election despite high unemployment and national economic distress. Obama “knows better than anyone there’s more hard work to do” to fix the sputtering economy, said San Antonio Mayor Julian Castro, the convention keynote speaker, sharing the prime-time spotlight with first lady Michelle Obama. Delegates cheered as a parade of

speakers extolled Obama’s support for abortion rights and gay marriage, for consumer protections enacted under his signature health care law and for the auto industry bailout he won from Congress in his first year in office. “He said he’d take out bin Laden, and with our great SEAL team, he did,” declared former Virginia Gov. Tim Kaine in one of several references to the military raid that ended the life of the terrorist mastermind behind the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. The crowd cheered even louder when the subject turned — dismissively — to Romney.

“If Mitt was Santa Claus, he’d fire the reindeer and outsource the elves,” former Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland said in a biting speech. After the deep recession, Castro said in excerpts released in advance of his speech, the nation is making progress “despite incredible odds and united Republican opposition.” He declared that 4.5 million jobs have been created since the president took office — though that number refers only to private sector employment gains over the past 29 months and leaves out state and local government jobs that continue to disappear each month.

100,000 Syrians flee Pentagon: Ex-Seal country in August book contains secrets BEIRUT (AP) — More than 100,000 Syrians fled their country in August, the highest monthly total since the crisis began in March 2011, the U.N. refugee agency said Tuesday. That exodus sharply increased the number of Syrians now living in neighboring countries, bringing the total number of refugees to 234,368 in the past 17 months, the agency said. Along with activists’ reports that the death toll in August was also the highest in the civil war with 5,000 killed, all signs are pointing to unprecedented levels of misery in a country where President Bashar Assad’s regime is fighting an increasingly violent rebellion. “If you do the math, it’s quite an astonishing number,” U.N. refugee agency spokeswoman Melissa Fleming said of the number of people who fled in August, speaking to reporters Tuesday in Geneva. “And it points to a significant escalation in refugee movement and people seeking asylum, and probably points to a very precarious and violent situation inside the country,” she said. But even the August figure only counts refugees who are registered and those awaiting

registration. Officials acknowledge the real number of Syrian refugees is likely way above 200,000, because tens of thousands are believed to have not yet contacted authorities. The uprising began with largely peaceful protests of Assad’s regime but has turned into a civil war that activists say has killed at least 23,000 people. U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon accused both the Syrian government and the opposition of large-scale human right violations and failing to protect civilians fleeing the country. “Prisoners on both sides are subject to harsh treatment and, often, torture,” Ban said in a speech before the U.N. General Assembly. “There have been alarming reports of summary executions on both sides.” As Syrians look to escape the bloodshed, Assad told the head of the International Committee of the Red Cross on Tuesday that the group is welcome to operate in Syria — as long as it remains “neutral and independent,” state media reported. Assad has accused the international community of conspiring to unseat him.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A former Navy SEAL’s insider account of the raid that killed Osama bin Laden contains classified information, the Pentagon said Tuesday, and the admiral who heads the Naval Special Warfare Command said details in the book may provide enemies with dangerous insight into secretive U.S. operations. Rear Adm. Sean Pybus told his force Tuesday that “hawking details about a mission” and selling other information about SEAL training and operations puts the force and their families at risk. “For an elite force that should be humble and disciplined for life, we are certainly not appearing to be so,” Pybus wrote in a letter to the roughly 8,000 troops under his command. “We owe our chain of command much better than this.” The letter was obtained by The Associated Press. At the Pentagon, press secretary George Little said that an official review of the book, “No Easy Day,” determined that it reveals what he called “sensitive and classified” information. He was not more specific but said the author was required to submit the book to the Pentagon before publication for a formal review of potential disclosures of such information.

“When you have special operations units that perform these missions, there are tactics, techniques, and procedures, not to mention human life, that are in play,” Little said. “And it is the height of irresponsibility not to have this kind of material checked for the possible disclosure of classified information.” He told reporters during a briefing that the Pentagon is still reviewing what legal options should be taken against the author. If the Pentagon determines the bin Laden book does disclose classified secrets, the government could consider bringing federal criminal charges against Bissonnette. The potential charges and penalties would depend largely on what type of secrets were disclosed. Pybus, in his letter, was more direct, saying that, “We must immediately reconsider how we properly influence our people in and out of uniform NOT to seek inappropriate monetary, political, or celebrity profit from their service” with the SEALS. “We all have much to gain or lose,” he said. “In the weeks ahead, we will be taking actions to meet this challenge, and I appreciate your leadership and support of our community in this effort.”

Ripa (finally) gets new partner NEW YORK (AP) — The only worry on Michael Strahan’s mind when he made his entrance Tuesday as the new co-host of “Live!”: “Don’t trip,” he summed up after the show. He didn’t. When Kelly Ripa introduced him, the gap-toothed former football player jogged onto the morning show set and gathered her up in a bear hug, lifting her off her feet. “When I was hugging Kelly, that’s when I was calming down,” Strahan explained. The rest of the hour was clearly a snap for him and for Ripa, who was getting a permanent partner nine months after Regis Philbin retired from the show and after having welcomed Strahan and 58 other guests in the chair beside her. Taking his seat on Tuesday, the former New York Giant joked that it felt “comfy, like it was molded for my body.” Strahan was relaxed, amiable and playful, and drew “ahhhs” from women in the studio audience when he pre-

FORMER FOOTBALL player Michael Strahan (right) sits with Kelly Ripa on the set of the newly named “Live! with Kelly and Michael” Tuesday in New York. Strahan joined the popular morning show as a permanent co-host on Tuesday, fulfilling a joking prophecy he made to Regis Philbin more than four years ago. sented Ripa with a dozen red roses. “It’s so nice to have a cohost literally sweep you off your feet,” Ripa told viewers, “and I know that he can bench press me if he wanted to.”

Maybe his arrival was fulfilling a prophecy. Ripa played a clip of Strahan’s first appearance on the show in 2008, shortly after the Giants had won the Super Bowl. Philbin asked Strahan what he would

want to do after retiring from football, and Strahan said that Philbin’s job looked pretty good. “I was joking,” Strahan said on Tuesday, “and I’m glad the joke came true.” Strahan’s hiring has been an open secret for the past two weeks. His selection was made official a couple of minutes into what, since November, had gone by the stripped-down title “Live! With Kelly” and now rechristened “Live! With Kelly and Michael.” Or rather, “live! with kelly and michael.” Eyeing the brand-new all-lowercase logo during a commercial break, the co-hosts pondered whether the first letters of their names would look better capitalized. During their breezy first “host chat,” Strahan amusedly shared from a list of obnoxious pet names for women (“babe” and “sweet cheeks” among them). The pair discussed parenting policies, in particular how much money

CURATOR When he grew up, he “became” an Indian. His career has led him to many tribes, some of which adopted him. For 20 years, he was the study leader for a horseback trip over the Lolo Trail in Idaho, which the Corps of Discovery used in its epic crossing of the American West. In 2007, PBS began airing a one-hour documentary, “In Their Footsteps,” about Lewis and Clark and their crossing of the Bitterroot Mountains on this trail. Viola received his Ph.D. in American history from Indiana University in 1970. His master’s (1964) and bachelor’s degrees (1960) are from Marquette University. He founded the scholarly journal, Prologue, at the National Archives and then served as di-

rector of the National Anthropological Archives at the SmithInstitution, sonian where he also developed two major exhibitions: “Magnificent Voyagers” and “Seeds of Change.” His most recent publication is “Warriors in Uniform,” published by the National Geographic Society. “If I have any claim to fame,” he said, “it’s that I opened the Smithsonian to Indians. I started the first intern program at the Smithsonian, which had tribes send people to learn how to be librarians, historians and archivists. Have you heard of the ‘moccasin telegraph’? The word spreads.” Now, Washington boasts the Museum of the American Indian. But when Viola started his project, there was concern in some quar-

ters that Native Americans would arrive at the museum, see what Indian artifacts were there and want them back. In fact, the opposite happened, Viola said. “There was a pride. ‘We want our history told.’” Tribal members gave even more things to the institute because they wanted their tribes to be represented there. “In the beginning there was no money (for the program),” Viola said. “People stayed in my house, in my friends’ houses. Once they got the opportunity, they ran with it.” In his talk Thursday, he will recount the stories of several Native Americans who used the Smithsonian program as a springboard to important careers. Many of the interns became Viola’s close friends. Others, he never

He will talk with a student audience Friday. “We are thrilled that someone of Dr. Viola’s stature has agreed to come to Sidney for this gathering,” said Tilda Phlipot, director of the historical society. “His speech will give local people who are interested in history or Indians an amazing chance to hear one of the country’s most respected scholars. And he’s such fun to listen to. His stories are so entertaining.” Other facets of the event are Native American dancers, drummers and craftsmen who will pow-wow at the Shelby County Fairgrounds Saturday and Sunday and an exhibit at the society’s Ross Historical Center, 201 S.

Dear Readers: A tasty cup of coffee is a nice way to start a day. I usually a fix large mug of “real” c o f f e e, b u t when Hints in a from hurry, I Heloise grab ins t a n t . Heloise Cruse H o w many ounces of water are there in a “cup” of coffee? Eight should be the answer. But instant and brewed use 6 ounces as the measurement for a cup. So, if the coffee is weak, it may not be your fault. Also, note this when measuring ground coffee to make a full pot. If brewed coffee is not strong enough for you, add a little instant for that extra flavor. — Heloise STUFFED PEPPERS Dear Heloise: My family likes stuffed peppers. I have found that a great way to prepare them is by using a muffin pan. I stand the peppers up in the individual wells so they are easier to fill and don’t fall over. I don’t lose any filling, and I can bake them as they sit upright in the pan. Easy! — Angela D. in Texas FAST FUNNEL Dear Heloise: Whenever I would go to mix cinnamon and sugar, I couldn’t find a funnel to help put it into the spice shaker with a tiny hole that I have. Here is what I did. I mixed up a little batch of the sugar and cinnamon in a paper coffee filter. Once mixed, I bundled up the filter and placed it over the hole in the shaker. Poking a little hole in the bottom of the filter (Heloise here: Poke the hole from the top going through the filter), I watched the mixture trickle down into the hole. This was so easy that I still won’t buy a funnel. Besides, what fun is life if you insist on doing things the easy way all the time? — J.D., via email BACON BOARD Dear Heloise: Much of the bacon you buy comes with a hard plastic backing under the bacon slices. I keep a couple of these (Heloise here: be sure to thoroughly clean) to use as a cutting board when cutting a small amount of vegetables, etc. They are easy to clean and use while protecting your countertop. — Arthur, via email

now a Smithsonian Institution curator emeritus and a leading authority on American Indian history and culture and the exploration of the American West. “This has been my life.” His interest in Indians was unwittingly fostered by his parents, Italian immigrants who spoke no English when they settled in an Italian ghetto in Milwaukee. It was during the great Depression and a movie theater, showing nickel movies, was across the street from their home. Viola’s parents went to the movies to learn English. Many of the films were cheap westerns and even as a youngster, Viola identified with the Indians. “In elementary school, when kids would ask what nationality I was, I said I was an Indian,” he laughed.

to also be treated as an export subsidy would allow more industries — from autos to clean energy — to petition the Commerce Department and the ITC to stand up to unfair foreign imports. It could mean jobs for a number of industries — from paper to tires to wind energy components to aluminum. The best way to move America’s economy forward — and reduce our deficit — is to make sure that every American who wants to work has a job. The federal government has a responsibility to ensure that Ohio’s domestic manufacturers and small businesses can compete with the rest of the world.

Jobs bill My bipartisan bill is a jobs bill. It would help level the playing field for Ohio businesses and manufacturers and help spur our economic recovery. The Senate realized this, set aside partisan politics, and passed a bill that stands up for Ohio manufacturers and workers who have endured years of talking and no action for far too long. Now it’s time for the House to do the same. That’s why I will continue to urge the House confront China’s unfair tactics, pass the Currency Exchange Rate Oversight Reform Act of 2011, and help join the fight for American manufacturing.

TO THE EDITOR

Wind turbine noise not harmful

Two sides to every situation

Standing up for human life To the editor: Congratulations to the president of Lehman High School and the student body for the wonderful exhibit of crosses they recently displayed along State Route 29 in front of the high school. I personally appreciate this overt gesture to make everyone aware of the “disposal process” of “inconvenient circumstances” we call abortion. Unfortunately, our government and judicial system have bought into it. No matter who you are, you must be aware down deep that abortion is the extermination of an innocent, unborn human being, many times committed, just for selfish reasons. I am amazed that more of us have not taken a firm stance against the breaking of religious beliefs of love, protection, care and responsibility that our God has charged us with. Maybe we have let the wishes of a secular society take over our lessons learned to give help, counseling and advice. Like a lot of people, I am a sinner, but I want to make sure, as long as I breathe, that I stand up for the most precious and innocent of human life. Bob Anderson 104 Peridot Drive Anna

MINSTER — The Minster Girl Scouts have been selected as grand marshals for the 2012 Minster Oktoberfest parade. Girl Scouts were founded by Juliette Low on March 12, 1912. After starting several troops of Girl Guides in Great Britain, Low returned to the United States and founded Girl Guides on March 12, 1912. In 1914, the name of Girl Guides was change to Girl Scouts of USA. The annual Girl Scout cookies sales began in 1917 with the girls and their mothers baking the cookies. Girl Scout troops were first organized in Auglaize County in 1916. Troops were not started in Minster until the fall of 1960 at which time troops were organized for second through eighth grades. Programs continue to change over the years to better benefit the girls and their interests. In 1963 there was a major revamping of the program introducing four age level and the First Class Award as the highest achievement. There were numerous girls from Minster that received this award from 1963 to 1980 at which time the award was renamed as the Gold Award. The Gold Award is comparable to the Boy Scout Eagle Award.

Sidney’s curriculum during the school year. Heather Neer, superintendent of the Shelby County Educational Service Center, noted that the Sidney district’s cost benefit would translate to a revenue loss for the ESC — after staff contracts have already been signed for the year. She said that currently, only Sidney students are enrolled at the CLC for the alternative school, and implementation of a program at the high school would essentially mean the end of the high school program at the ESC. Board member Kelly Rees expressed her concern at burning such a bridge and eliminating the alternative of the CLC alternative school. McLain noted that for at least the first year, there would still be Sidney High School students in the CLC program. Another concern would be the increased cost-perstudent for middle school alternative school and ED students at the CLC, but Sidney City School Treasurer Mike Watkins said numbers — based admittedly on assumption and current trends — indicate a continued savings of $50,000 to $100,000 per year for the district with the implementation of the program.

Superintendent John Scheu passionately supported the plan, stating that the district loses about $4 million per year to open enrollment, homeschooling and online education options. “This is a way to at least make a dent in that loss,” Scheu said. In other business, the board approved an agreement with VLN Online Learning to enroll Sidney City School students. Scheu said the administration was committed to holding the cost at a maximum of $4,500 per student, and the program would be able to bring back some city students lost to the ECOT (Electronic Classroom of Tomorrow) online program. The board approved a motion to reinstate double time pay for mandatory Sunday overtime for the maintenance staff. It was noted that the maintenance staff pay was negotiated along with drivers and custodial staff but failed to take into account at that time that the maintenance staff have no choice when called in for emergency maintenance in the schools. The board also voted to approve the resignation due to retirement of Annette Schulze, multiple disability aide, effective Jan. 1, 2013.

Program planned about using photographs as historic documents seum will now be open every Monday and Tuesday from 1 to 4 p.m. “We’ve very excited about the opportunity to expand our operating hours, and hope that the public — students and adults alike — will enjoy visiting the museum,” said Historical Society administrator Rachel Barber.

A charge of sexual battery in Auglaize County was dismissed as part of the plea bargain agreement. Shelby County Commissioner Larry Kleinhans said Miami County Prosecutor Gary Nasal, who served as special prosecutor in the Kimpel case, has been considered to handle the civil suit. “Mr. Nasal is one that has been mentioned, but we want to get an opinion from the AG,” Kleinhans said. A timeline for filing the lawsuit has not been determined.

son of Shelby County Common Pleas Court said he was unaware of the request and cannot do anything until he receives it. In further discussion with Bauer, he said Stevenson has not received a request because “the matter is being referred to the AG’s office for their review” and their attorneys “have to review it (lawsuit) to make sure they are willing to take it. It’s civil, not criminal.” Bauer said additional paperwork was sent to the AG’s office Thursday regarding the lawsuit. Kimpel was suspended from office last fall but continued to draw his salary and benefits until his sentencing on June 8. During that time, Kimpel was paid $55,793.86, including

for legal representation for the lawsuit, the AG’s office will assist. She said Bauer wrote the letter last week. Bauer had previously said he would “take every legal step available to seek reimbursement from former Sheriff Dean Kimpel for the salary he received during the time he was suspended” from office as sheriff.” But on July 27, Bauer announced he could not file the lawsuit because of a conflict of interest. “By statute, I have to represent the elected officials,” he said. Since he had represented Kimpel as sheriff, he feels he cannot represent him in the lawsuit. Bauer confirmed he has requested the AG’s office appoint a special prosecutor to recoup funds paid to Kimpel after he had been suspended from office. Jill Del Greco, public information officer with the AG’s office, said a prosecutor has not been officially appointed yet by the local judge. Judge James Steven-

Gessler said the program would help the school meet its obligation “to do everything we can to help educate our kids.” Gessler and McLain brought up examples of students who were not successful at the CLC and were sent back to Sidney High School, with the only options available being to put them back in a regular classroom — where they have already failed before; have them homeschooled — which is impossible in cases with little to no parent involvement; or try to place them on an online learning program — which is cannot succeed if the student lacks the self-motivation or willingness to complete the neccessary work on his or her own. Gessler also said that students enrolled in the CLC program who would like to attend career training at the UVCC do not have that option, because the UVCC will not accept alternative school students. Having a program in place at the high school would allow those students to go on to vocational training that could be more likely to enable them to succeed in life. McLain added that the program would allow students from other areas or from juvenile detention to be able to transition into

Lehman holds Adjusting to new stepdad Welcome Week

COME OUT AHEAD EVENT

According to Dr. Brewster, a Linda Phoenix clinical psychologist, it isn’t uncommon for everyone in a newly formed family to take up to two years to fully adjust. Some things just take more time than others. Keep smiling and do all you can to respect your mother’s new husband. DR. WALLACE: My problem is that my parents do not trust me. They are always checking up on me. I can understand that, but what I can’t understand is why they sometimes follow me in their car to see if I am going where I told them I was going. Last Friday night my best friend and I decided to go to a movie. I told my parents what movie

we were going to see and what time the movie started. While standing in line, who do I see spying on me? My parents were driving by to see if I was telling the truth. When I complain to my parents that I don’t like them not trusting me, all they say is, “We do it because we love you.” Do you think my parents should be spying on me? – Vanessa, Baltimore, Md. VANESSA: Parents should be aware of their teen’s activities but shouldn’t spy to see that the teen has told the truth about the who, when and where of social engagements. The reason is that parents must allow trust to be an important ingredient in producing a loving, functional family.

The first week of school in a new environment can be a bit intimidating, especially for high school freshmen. Some years ago, the first week of classes was set aside to welcome new students attending Lehman Catholic High School, and a tradition was born. Welcome Week, planned by the senior class, includes daily activities that are designed to help new students feel a part of the school community. Senior class adviser Sister Ginny Scherer spent considerable time with senior class President Ethan Jock, Vice President Katie Rossman, Secretary Stephanie Ulbrich and Treasurer Ellie Waldsmith in planning inclusionary activities that help incoming students familiarize themselves with school traditions. The week’s activities are explained to new students during new student orientation. Seniors were on hand for the orientation to teach students new to the school the Lehman fight song, the Lehman alma mater and the Battle Cry. This year’s activities included the opportunity for the seniors and freshmen to meet at the end of the day to review the songs and cheers and pair each new student with a senior buddy. Pierce Bennett, a Houston-area resident and Lehman senior, recalled his own Welcome Week experience. “I remember well my own Welcome Week,” Bennett said. “Parker Cole was my senior, and it really helped me get acclimated to the school.” Bennett is happy to be on the senior side of the Welcome Week this year and is looking forward to the rest of the school year. “I’m really excited to help the new class of freshman. I hope their experience as Lehman students will be as positive as my own has been,” Bennett said. Rob Susnik, an incoming freshman from the Bethel School District whose senior buddy was Bennett, stated that he really enjoyed Welcome Week. “It has been fun and the seniors have been really friendly and helpful,” Susnik said. Susnik enjoyed the opportunity to get to know his new classmates and loves the atmosphere at Lehman. “I feel like I know all of the seniors. They have been so helpful to me. I’m ready for the year ahead.” Susnik concluded, “Lehman is very cool!” One of the activities that helped the students get to know their way around the school was a scavenger hunt. New students visited the offices of various school officials including the president, principal, business manager and athletic director to gather information about Lehman’s traditions. Another activity included an exchange of cookies. Each senior buddy baked cookies for their freshman buddy and the freshmen reciprocated. The week’s activities concluded with the pep rally on Friday afternoon. As part of the pep rally, new students assembled on the floor of the Schlater Family Gymnasium and sang the Lehman fight song and the Lehman alma mater then were led to their places in the stands to take their place as Lehman Cavaliers.

uenos dias, amigos, y bienvenidos a Sud America. The message is, “Hello, friends, and welcome to South America!” The language is Spanish, which is spoken by most of the people who live in South America, our neighbor to the south. South America is made up of 12 countries, one French overseas department, and one colony. Because most of the continent was conquered by Spain in the 16th century, Spanish is the primary language in nine of the countries. The major exception is Brazil, where Portuguese is spoken.

In recent years, though, a small middle class of professional people and skilled workers has begun to form in the cities. Roman Catholicism is the primary religion in South America. Only Guyana is predominantly Protestant. Argentina has the largest Jewish population – 300,000 in 1988.

Plus, there are as many as 82 Indian languages still being spoken by small groups of people. South America is most often in the news because of the Amazon rain forest that covers nearly a third of the continent. The rain forest is home to an unknown number of species of plants and animals; the dense vegetation produces more than half of all the oxygen in the world. Yet more and more of the rain forest disappears every day because of clearing for development and for pasture land. All of the countries in South America have a small upper

Reds edge Phils 2-1 CINCINNATI (AP) — Jay Bruce homered for the third straight game on Tuesday night, hitting a two-run shot that sent the Cincinnati Reds to a 2-1 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies with first baseman Joey Votto watching from the bench. Votto was activated off the disabled list before the game, but didn't play. Cincinnati went 32-16 without him, taking control of the NL Central. Bruce's 31st homer in the

sixth inning ended a fourgame winning streak by Kyle Kendrick (8-10). Bruce has homered in four of his last five games. Mat Latos (12-4) gave up one run — on a bases-loaded walk — and four hits in seven innings. Jimmy Rollins doubled off Latos in the fifth inning, making him the fourth Phillies player to reach 2,000 career hits. • Justin Masterson (of

Beavercreek) pitched six solid innings, and the Cleveland Indians beat Detroit 3-2 on Tuesday night for their second straight victory over the playoff-chasing Tigers. Miguel Cabrera hit a tworun homer for Detroit, but the Tigers missed another opportunity against a struggling team. Masterson (11-12) allowed two runs and four hits. He walked one and struck out four. Chris Perez pitched a perfect ninth for his 34th save.

watch him if there’s a long inning or whatever, if he gets sore or makes a wrong move. We’re going to try to preserve him and work him back in there.” Votto went 2 for 11 during his rehab stint last week. He’d hoped to get on base more so he could see how the knee held up when he ran the bases. Votto was batting .342 with 14 homers and 49 RBIs when he went on the disabled list. The idea is to get him as close to 100 percent as he can be heading into October. “I don’t think I’ll see 100 percent until sometime in the offseason,” Votto said. “I’m talking about being able to play baseball, putting myself in uncomfortable positions. I would like to think I’ll be able to get through all the games and recover as we move through September and all the way to the end of October.” Votto was looking forward to seeing how fans reacted the first time he came to bat at Great American Ball Park. “I’m really excited to see the fans reaction,” Votto said. “That’s what I’m most curious about. I miss them. I love the support. I love playing in front of the fans in this ballpark.” ——

CINCINNATI (AP) —The Reds activated first baseman Joey Votto off the disabled list on Tuesday, but will go easy with the first baseman until his left knee is back to normal. Votto hadn’t played since July 15 because of damaged cartilage in the knee that required two operations. He had a rehab stint in Class A Dayton and Triple-A Louisville last week. Votto wasn’t in the lineup for a game against the Philadelphia Phillies on Tuesday. The 2010 NL MVP said the knee is getting better, but he’s not ready to play every day. “I think working me in slowly is the wise move,” Votto said. “It’s not 100 percent yet, but that will come in time.” Manager Dusty Baker said Votto could start a day game Wednesday that concludes the series against Philadelphia. There was no hurry to get Votto back in the lineup —the Reds led the NL Central by 81/2 games on Tuesday, the biggest lead in the majors. Cincinnati went 32-16 after Votto went on the disabled list. “The plan’s going to change every day, depending on how he feels,” manager Dusty Baker said. “As of right now, he’ll probably start tomorrow. Then we’ve got to

He’s not listed on the Arizona Fall League roster for his parent club, the Texas Rangers, though he could have a playing assignment elsewhere during the off season. Many top prospects play in the AFL but roster spots are very limited. He will report to Rangers spring training in Surprise, Ariz. next February and should begin the 2013 season either in his current location or in Round Rock, Texas, home to the team’s top farm club.

Field goal important play so far in Sidney’s fast start BY KEN BARHORST AND DAVE ROSS With a pair of three point wins, it's apparent that the field goal has been an important play for the 2-0 Yellow Jackets. Andre Spillers hit a walk-off game winner in the overtime opener at St. Marys, then made a 41 yarder last Friday against Bellefontaine ,representing the second longest FG in school history. Here's a rundown on that subject. Sidney hadn't scored a field goal since 1946 when Virgil Gibson toed a 32 yarder at Miamisburg in 1964 to get his name in the record book. That stood until soccer kicker Bob Forbeck booted a pair of 35 yarders at Troy to conclude the 1983 season. That mark lasted only until the next game, the 1984 opener with St. Marys, when sidewinder Jeff Fields was good from 40 yards for Sidney's only points. Fields topped the list until the third week of 1986 when the record was shattered on the Astroturf of Dayton's Welcome Stadium on a wind free night. Tony Wildermuth was an excellent traditional straight-on toe kicker in 1986. He had already booted a solid 38 yarder against Dayton Colonel White when he nailed a 45 yarder later in the contest to set a record that still stands some 26 years later. Spillers has enough leg to challenge Wildermuth's mark. We'll see if he gets the chance. The 41 yarder can be viewed online along with other game highlights at www.sidneyyellowjackets.org .

Bees are buzzing After 20 straight losses, Sidney High School is downright excited over the football team's 2-0 start. Many more highlights have already been delivered by other Sidney athletic teams during these early weeks of fall competition and the students are embracing it all. The Yellow Jackets gridiron record could improve to 3-0 on Friday at

Bengals put Cook on IR CINCINNATI (AP) — The Bengals have placed center Kyle Cook on the injured reserve list while giving him a chance to return later this season if his right ankle heals. Cook got hurt in the final preseason game. Under a new league rule, a team can designate one injured player to return midway through the season if he heals. Other players put on the injured reserve list are done for the season. Also Tuesday, the Bengals signed freeagent tight end Richard Quinn. He was Denver's second-round draft pick in 2009. The Broncos released him last August, and he signed with Washington and played in one game.

EXTRA POINTS West Carrollton (1-1) before the team returns home to meet a strong Springboro squad in week four that will likely be undefeated. Sidney has a legitimate chance to finish .500 or better this season.

Niemeyer sets records Minster senior quarterback Adam Niemeyer set two s c h o o l records F r i d a y night in M i n s t e r ’s 46-7 rout of Lehman. The first score of the Niemeyer game came on a 94-yard touchdown pass from Niemeyer to Troy Kauffman, and that was the longest touchdown pass in school history, and likely a record that will stand for a long time. Also on the pass, Niemeyer set the alltime career passing record. He now has 2,876 passing yards in his career. He’s already passed for 400 yards and six touchdowns this season, hitting 21 of 29 attempts, 72 percent.

Saying goodbye Both Lehman and Fort Loramie will say goodbye to their week three opponents after Friday night. The Cavailers have been playing Indian Lake, which made the decision to look elsewhere. Lehman will fill that slot by going to London in 2013 followed by the resumption of its series with Graham a year later. Graham is Division III but isn't winning many games these days. Loramie will make a final visit to Toledo Christian to end that relationship, as Defiance Tinora will assume that spot next year. Tinora is Division V and has won 44 games over the past five full seasons with a trio of playoff appearances. Lehman will play at Fort Loramie a week from Friday (Sep 14) which is a departure

A year ago, Sidney grad Devon Langhorst was concluding a stellar career as a defensive end at the University of Dayton. In the spring he played pro football in Europe. He’s now back at SHS as an assistant varsity coach while exploring further playing opportunities both abroad and in Canada.

Computer rankings Okay, so it’s still extremely early, too early to start thinking about the computer rankings. But high school football fans start paying attention as soon as they possibly can, so for those of you who haven’t glanced at them yet, here’s a rundown on local teams. The Sidney Yellow Jackets, coming off backto-back 0-10 seasons, have started off 2-0, and that’s put them in a tie for eighth place in the Division II, Region 8 rankings. The Jackets have wins over traditional opening rivals St. Marys and Bellefontaine, but those two teams are winless, and Sidney has a lot of difficult opponents waiting down the road. But it’s nice to see them challenging in the rankings. Anna picked up some valuable points last week by beating D-IV Brookville, and the Rockets are currently fourth in V, Region 20. Versailles is tied for 12th.

And in D-VI, the Minster Wildcats are seventh, Fort Loramie tied for 15th and Lehman is tied for 19th. Lehman can make a big move with a win this week, because the Cavs’ opponent, Indian Lake, is a D-III school and comes in at 1-1.

Team of the week WDTN-Channel 2, a partner of the Sidney Daily News, has selected the Sidney Yellow Jackets as its “Team of the Week” for this week. Athletic director Jeff Courter received a note from Channel 2’s Hutch Konerman about the award. There will be a plaque presentation today at the start of practice, and the ceremony will air tonight on both the 6 and 11 newscasts. Channel 2 also wants to honor the “Most Valuable Person, someone who is not a player, but more likely a fan, booster, video person, etc. It will be fun seeing who gets that honor tonight.

Kick of the Week Gem City Kicking, a business in Dayton that has the goal of “developing top-notch kickers on a regular and ongoing basis,” has awarded its “Kick of the Week” to Sidney and placekicker Andre Spillers. Sidney won the distinction in week one when Spillers booted a game-winner in overtime. And last week, his 41-yarder proved to be the difference in a 17-14 victory over Bellefontaine that put the Yellow Jackets at 2-0 on the year. A representative from Gem City Kicking will be on hand at practice either today or Thursday to present the award to Spillers. Gem City said there have been multiple recipients for a team in the same season, but this is only the second time in six seasons that a team has received the honor in back-to-back weeks. You can learn more about Gem City Kicking at its website, www.gemcitykicking.com.

from recent season ending encounters. Though both wanted to keep that week ten slot as they changed leagues, the Northwest Central Conference wouldn’t permit such an arrangement, opting instead for a random draw. The two will play in week seven in 2013. Lehman will visit Fort Loramie in both 2012 and 2013, caused by the pending departure of Fairbanks from the NWCC. There are also ongoing doubts about Troy Christian’s ability to ever again field varsity football. Stay tuned.

Haden awaiting word SCOREBOARD C on possible suspension ALENDAR

High school

TOM WITHERS AP Sports Writer CLEVELAND (AP) — Joe Haden’s case remains mysterious and unresolved. The Browns cornerback, and one of Cleveland’s best players, is awaiting word from the NFL on a possible fourgame suspension for failing a drug test. On Tuesday, Browns president Mike Holmgren revealed in a local radio interview that Haden has already had his appeal hearing with the league. “Now it’s up to someone else,” Holmgren told 92.3 The Fan. “And we don’t know.” Holmgren’s comments were the first confirming suspension, Haden’s which was first reported by espncleveland.com last month. Haden reportedly failed a test for taking Adderall, which is on the league’s banned substance list. NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said in an email that the league “has nothing to report at this point.” It’s possible the league is still weighing Haden’s appeal and a ruling may not be known for days, if not weeks. In the meantime, Haden is wondering if he will be able to play in Sunday’s season opener against Philadelphia. “I have no idea,” Haden said when asked on Monday. At this point, it appears Haden’s safe for this week, but it’s possi-

CLEVELAND BROWNS defensive back Joe Haden is shown at training camp in Berea, Ohio. Browns president Mike Holmgren says cornerback Haden has appealed a suspension by the NFL and is awaiting a decision from the league. ble he may still have to sit out some games. The league does not announce suspensions until the appeal process is completed in order to protect the player’s privacy. The Browns can’t afford to be without Haden for long. They’re already missing three defensive starters — defensive tackle Phil Taylor and linebacker Chris Gocong are injured and linebacker Scott Fujita is serving a three-game suspension for his role in the Saints’ bounty scandal — and Haden is their best coverage de-

fender. “That’s a blow,” cornerback Dimitri Patterson said of the possibility of losing Haden. “But it’s professional football. It’s not Pop Warner. You’ve got to step in and be a professional, simple as that.” Patterson would likely start in Haden’s place with Buster Skrine and rookie Trevin Wade getting more playing time. Haden was drafted by the Browns with the No. 7 overall draft pick in 2007. He had six interceptions as a rookie, but none last season.

BULLETIN BOARD

Edison offers free online tutoring PIQUA — Edison Community College students who are looking for additional help with their classroom assignments are now able to call upon on a series of free online tutoring services that are available through the college and the University System of Ohio. Last year, the college expanded the availability of eTutoring, a free online assistance program to all Edison Students. The program allows students to obtain assistance in their classes by submitting questions via email through the website and in live chat rooms. Edison’s Learning Center is a free service located on campus in the library that provides academic tutoring and resources to students free of charge and additional resources to students enrolled in developmental courses, first generation college students, students with learning disabilities and students re-entering school after a long absence. A similar online tutoring service being employed at Edison and several other colleges around Ohio is the newly launched Scaffold To The Stars. The service is an OhioLINK program, and has partnered with Edison and six other colleges throughout Ohio to support students taking a sequence of math courses, as well as applied engineering statics. Outside of the classroom, Edison has worked to make the eTutoring program more accessible, with more “live chat” features and turnaround times for responses that rarely exceed 48 hours. To get started, students need to go online to www.etutoring.org, log in, select the Ohio eTutoring Collaborative and then select Edison Community College. Students can then use their Edison student ID as their username and “edison” for the initial password. Passwords can be changed after the first session.

Bridge work to close road Midwest Maintenance Inc., of Piqua, will begin rehabilitation of two bridges on Pasco-Montra Road Monday, according to Shelby County Engineer Bob Geuy. Pasco-Montra Road will be closed to traffic between DeWeese Road and Ohio 47 beginning Monday. The project will be completed Nov. 15.

Gadget makers jockey for Fifth Third Bank edge in holiday line-ups receives award

Wednesday. It’s likely on new Windows phones under Nokia’s Lumia brand. — SURFACE: Microsoft plans its own tablet computer, too. It’s new territory for Microsoft, which typically leaves it to others to make devices using its software. Now, it will be competing against its partners. The Surface tablet will come in two versions, both with 10.6inch screens, slightly larger than the iPad’s. One model will run on phone-style chips, just like the iPad, and will be sold for a similar price. A heavier, more expensive version will run on Intel chips and be capable of running standard Windows applications. The Surface will go on sale on Oct. 26. — NEW BLACKBERRYS: A year ago, Research In Motion Ltd. disclosed that it was working on a next-generation phone system for the BlackBerry, which now looks ancient next to the iPhone and Android devices. It was supposed to be out in time for this year’s holiday season. That won’t happen. In June, RIM pushed the release of BlackBerry 10 devices into early next year, saying it wasn’t ready. That means RIM will not only compete with the new iPhone and Android devices out this fall, but it will also have to contend with the new Windows devices.

PITTSBURGH (AP) — U.S. Steel and the United Steelworkers announced a tentative agreement Sunday on a three-year contract covering more than 16,000 workers at domestic facilities. Details of the contract were not announced. The union said members will vote after reviewing details over the next few weeks. The two sides had been negotiating since June on a contract to replace the existing pact, which expired Saturday. US Steel said the talks covered employees at domestic flat-rolled and iron ore mining facilities as well as tubular operations in Lorain, Ohio and Fairfield, Ala. “We believe that this agreement is in the best interests of our company, our employees and all of our stakeholders,” John Surma, U.S. Steel chairman and chief executive officer, said in a statement. The company separately announced a tentative agreement with the union covering about 1,000 workers at a welded tubular products facility in Lone Star, Texas. The union said health care for retirees and how best to deal with the rising cost of that coverage was one of the most significant issues in this

Barnes and Noble Inc., which makes the 7-inch Nook Tablet, may have an update this fall as well. — MOTOROLA’S RETURN: Though it’s a pioneer in the cellphone industry, Motorola hasn’t had a hit since the Razr phone came out in 2004. Under new owner Google Inc., Motorola Mobility is trying to change that. It has scheduled an event in New York on Wednesday. No further details were available. It could be a new phone or a new tablet running Google’s Android operating system. Either way, it will be the first Motorola product announcement since Google bought the company for $12.4 billion in May. Google, meanwhile, continues to sell a 7-inch Android tablet, the Nexus 7, made in partnership with AsusTek Computer Inc. — CALLING ON WINDOWS: Microsoft Corp. will release a new version of the Windows operating system on Oct. 26, one that’s designed to work on both traditional computers and tablet devices. A new version of the Windows Phone system is coming out, too. Once-dominant phone maker Nokia Corp. has been struggling in the shadow of Apple, and it’s counting on the new Windows system for a revival. Nokia and Microsoft have jointly scheduled an announcement in New York on

NEW YORK (AP) — Think of it as the opening act at a concert: Nokia, Motorola and Amazon are expected to unveil new mobile devices this week before attention turns to a new iPhone and possibly a smaller iPad from Apple. Makers of consumer electronics are refreshing their products for the holiday shopping season. Apple’s rivals are hoping that a head start on the buzz will translate into stronger sales. Nokia and Microsoft, in particular, are trying to generate interest in a new Windows operating system out next month. Apple dominates the market for tablet computers. Seven out of every 10 tablets shipped in the second quarter were iPads, according to research firm IHS iSuppli. Rivals have been trying to compete with smaller, cheaper models — such as the Kindle Fire, which Amazon is expected to update on Thursday. Now, there’s speculation that Apple will be coming out with a smaller iPad as well. Sales of Apple’s iPhones are still strong, though the company lost the lead in smartphones to Samsung this year. Samsung Electronics Co. benefited from having its Galaxy S III out in the U.S. in June, while Apple was still selling an iPhone model released last October. A new iPhone is expected as early as this month, allowing Apple to recapture the attention and the revenue. Here’s a look at what to expect this fall: — NEW IPHONE: Apple Inc. has been coming out with a new iPhone each year, and that’s likely to continue. The new model is ex-

pected to work with fourth-generation, or 4G, cellular networks that phone companies have been building. That capability is something the S III and many other iPhone rivals already have. A bigger iPhone screen is also possible. Apple said Tuesday that it will host an event in San Francisco next Wednesday. The topic wasn’t disclosed, but the email invitation contains a shadow in the shape of a “5” — a sign that the iPhone 5 is coming. Sales usually begin a week or two after such an announcement. One thing is known: Apple plans to update its phone software this fall and will ditch Google’s mapping service for its own. — SMALLER IPAD: Apple has done well selling its full-sized tablet computer, which has a screen that measures nearly 10 inches diagonally. Many companies have tried to come out with iPad alternatives, but the ones that have had moderate success have tended to be those with smaller, 7-inch screens and lower price tags. There’s a belief that Apple will come out with mini iPad this fall — possibly with a 7.85-inch screen — to compete with those competitors. It’s not as much a certainty as a new iPhone, though. Apple hasn’t said anything about its plans. — REKINDLING THE FIRE: Amazon.com Inc.’s 7-inch Kindle Fire is one of the smaller tablets with decent sales. Last week, Amazon said it has sold out of the Kindle Fire, a sign that it had retooled its production lines for a successor. Amazon has a major event planned in Santa Monica, Calif., on Thursday. Amazon hasn’t said anything about what it will say, but it’s expected to announce a new Kindle Fire and pos-

— CINCINNATI Fifth Third Bank received the highest ranking among its peers in servicing performance in Fannie Mae’s 2011 Servicer Total Achievement and Rewards (STAR) Program. Fifth Third received a three-star designation and the highest composite score for its foreclosure prevention efforts under the 2011 STAR Program among Fannie Mae-mortgage servicers rated. “Fifth Third is committed to helping our customers stay in their homes by providing helpful advice and resources,” said Steven Alonso, executive vice president and head of Fifth Third’s Consumer Bank. “This ranking from Fannie Mae recognizes our continued efforts to guide

I was told that doctors don’t go by percentage of blockage now. How is the risk determined? — K.C. ANSWER: An obstruction in the carotid artery, the neck artery that supplies the brain with blood, is not the only cause of a stroke. A piece of a blood clot that has broken off of a main clot elsewhere in the body and been swept into a brain artery is another cause of stroke. I mention this to keep it clear that a blocked carotid is but one risk for a stroke. The doctors I know still use percentage of reduction in the interior of

a carotid artery as a criterion of stroke risk. With a 60 percent to 70 percent or greater narrowing of the carotid artery, people benefit from the opening up of the artery, using a variety of procedures. Some experts feel that a 60 percent narrowing requires only blood-thinning medication, such as aspirin. Others feel that surgical removal of the blockage is indicated. Other factors have to be considered: the patient’s age, the patient’s wishes and the patient’s health problems unrelated to the artery problem. The booklet on stroke gives timely information on this dreaded cause of death and disability. Readers can obtain a copy by writing: Dr. Donohue — No. 902, Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475.

September 5, 1912 Ben Johnson, agent at the American Express Co. office, today received two crates of homing pigeons from Cleveland that are to be released at 5:30 a.m. tomorrow morning. There are about 75 pigeons in the crates. ——— On account of DeiselWemmer Co. being nearly four million cigars behind in orders, it will be necessary for employees of the company to work Saturday afternoons for the next two or three weeks; consequently the game between that team and the Tannery team, which was to have been played tomorrow has been postponed for at least two weeks. ——— Mrs. J. M. Staley arrived home today from a three month’s trip abroad. She traveled in Italy, Switzerland, Germany, Belgium, Holland and France. Mrs. Staley made a record for herself in never missing a meal the entire trip. While in Florence she met Miss Bonni Bonnelle, a former Sidney lady, who is now located in Pasadena, Calif.

75 Years September 5, 1937 A man answering the description of Harry Dingeldine, sought as the escaped ringleader of a bandit gang, whose members killed two Springfield policemen, was reported to have been seen on Route 42 near Plain City this morning. As this report was received, Ohio authorities sought the aid of police in adjoining states to track down the suspected ringleader. The last known definite location of Dingeldine was in the Port Jefferson vicinity, but a thorough search of the area failed to turn up any trace of the bandit. ——— Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd H. Ruese planned an enjoyable pot-luck supper party last evening at the “Crow’s Nest,” Port Jefferson cottage of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Wallbrunn, as a compliment to their house guests, Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Cary, of Columbus, former Sidney residents. ——— Miss Grace Woodruff will leave tomorrow to return to Cincinnati after spending the summer here with her parents on Foraker avenue. Miss Woodruff is the pianist and professional accompanist at the Conservatory of Music in Cincinnati, a position she has held for several years.

50 Years September 5, 1962 Salm and Sharp Funeral Home, 502 South Ohio avenue, has been advised that it has been selected as Sidney’s member of the Order of the Golden Rule for the sixth consecutive year. Ordinarily, only one firm in each community is selected for membership, with the members striving to attain improvement in service and standards by seeking suggestions and constructive criticism from those whom they serve. ——— There was conjecture on the part of several Sidney men Thursday whether or not parts of the Russian satellite, reported to have broken up Thursday, might have fallen in the Sidney area. During the noon hour Thursday, outside the while Hawthorne-Seving plant, the group saw some objects fall from the sky in the area estimated around Maple street. An investigation of the area by officers failed to reveal anything that might be construed as part of the satellite.

25 Years September 5, 1987 MINSTER – Minster Village Council voted Tuesday night to approve the sale of beer in the Lincoln Street Park during the upcoming Oktoberfest. Council also referred a number of issues, including a parking ban on the east side of South Lincoln Drive, for committee consideration. The public sale and consumption of beer in the park during the three-day celebration was again approved by council. It was noted that the area designated for the sale and consumption of beer is restricted to the park and that anyone who has an open container of beer outside that area is subject to arrest for violation of the open container law. ——— Sidney’s Liz Smith galloped toward the finish line during the high school girls’ 5,000 meter race at Tuesday’s Shelby County Cross Country Preview at Sidney High.
