BY OSAMA ALFITORY The Associated Press BENGHAZI, Libya (AP) — The U.S. dispatched an elite group of Marines to Tripoli on Wednesday after the mob attack that killed the U.S. ambassador and three other Americans. Officials were investigating whether the rampage was a backlash to an anti-Islamic video with

ties to Coptic Christians or a plot to coincide with the anniversary of 9/11. Tuesday’s stunning attack on the American Consulate in Benghazi poses a daunting task for U.S. and Libyan investigators: searching for the culprits in a city rife with heavy weapons, multiple militias, armed Islamist groups and little police control. The one-story villa that serves as the

consulate was a burned-out wreck after the crowd armed with machine guns and rocket-propelled grenades rampaged through it. Slogans of “God is great” and “Muhammad is God’s Prophet” were scrawled across its scorched walls. Libyan civilians strolled freely in charred rooms with furniture and papers strewn everywhere.

NUKE LUKE team members Karie Bell (left) and Denise Ciriegio put the finishing touches on their banner for the Light the Night Walk on Sept. 22. The 20-member team from the Shelby County area will be walking in Springfield to help end leukemia and lymphoma.

TODAY’S THOUGHT

BY MELANIE SPEICHER mspeicher@sdnccg.com

“Injustice, poverty, slavery, ignorance — these may be cured by reform or revolution. But men do not live only by fighting evils. They live by positive goals, individual and collective, a vast variety of them, seldom predictable, at times incompatible.” — Isaiah Berlin, Russian-born British philosopher (19091997) For more on today in history, turn to Page 5A.

Look out Leukemia! Team Nuke Luke is aiming to blow you to smithereens. “We want to blow up leukemia and find a cure for it,” said Denise Ciriegio, team leader and leukemia survivor. Ciriegio and her 20-member team will be walking for a cure on Sept. 22 in Springfield at the Light the Night Walk sponsored by the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. The walk will be held at the Leffel Lane Campus of Clark State Com-

munity College. Registration and activities begin at 5:30 p.m. The 1-mile walk begins at 7:45 p.m. Diagnosed with leukemia in January 2011, Ciriegio saw a brochure for the 2011 walk at Cassano’s. When she looked at it, she realized the walk had been the previous weekend. So her goal for 2012 was to find a local walk and participate in it. “I thought it would just be Todd (her husband) and I doing the walk. It has blown up into something bigger than I every imagined” said Ciriegio.

Springfield, she said, was the closest walk for the team to participate in. The walk was announced at the beginning of the year and Ciriegio signed up for it. She had a couple of people helping her at first, but the desire to help fight the disease mushroomed until she had a team of 20 people walking. “The goal was for each person to raise $100,” said Ciriegio. “We’re at $1,800 right now. Each person who raises the $100 becomes a Champion for a Cure. They will receive a See CANCER/Page 11A

Judge renews court action Judge James F. Stevenson, in the Shelby County Common Pleas Court Civil Division, recently issued an order renewing a judgment issued by Judge John Schmitt in 2007. Stevenson’s order renewed Koewler the judgment to Sam Rose, executor of the estate of Katina Koewler Rose, awarding $10,550,745, plus interest from the date of the original judgment and the costs of action, against defendant John C. Koewler. Koewler is currently incarcerated at Allen Correctional Institute, where he has been since Nov. 17, 2004, on a felonious assault conviction. His eight-year prison term is to expire Oct. 5. The civil judgment is renewed and will remain active for an additional five years, at which time it will become dormant if execution on the judgment or actions to secure a lien are not taken. The judgment, the largest civil judgment in county history, was awarded as $2,550,745 in economic damages; $7 million in noneconomic damages; and $1,000,000 in punitive damages. The judgment was the result of a case brought by the family of the late Katina Rose, who was injured by her thenhusband Koewler during a domestic dispute Aug. 11, 2004. Rose was paralyzed as a result of her injuries and died at the home of her parents Aug. 27, 2006, at age 33.

City faces five-year forecast challenges BY KATHY LEESE As Sidney officials struggle to deal with challenges associated with the city’s five-year financial forecast, they are looking toward a substantial hike in water and sewer rates necessitated by cuts in state funding. Noting that some projects will remain unfunded and stating that “tough decisions”

must be made, City Manager Mark Cundiff began the discussion on the five-year forecast as local officials waded through a report presented at the Sidney City Council meeting Monday evening. Council learned about Local Government Funding (LGF) cuts and other cutbacks and an estimated $3.8 million reduction in the general fund and discussed how to tell local

residents about the significant increase they will see in sewer and water rates. The combined increase in water and sewer rates is being forced by a mansate by the State of Ohio. Ginger Adams, city of Sidney finance officer, told the Sidney Daily News that while the federal government suggested state officials mandate that local communities increase rates, it was left up to

state officials whether to act on that suggestion. Now that state officials have mandated the increases, local officials must raise rates, she said. Adams said following the meeting that local officials are now faced with charging higher rates or the city will face significant fines under the state mandates. Council members learned that local See COUNCIL/Page 10A

FROM MIKE BARHORST President, Lehman Catholic High School A trip to Europe is exciting in itself but when it is a first-time experience shared with two dozen classmates and teachers, it is a chance to create memories that will last a lifetime. Such was the summer adventure for a group of current students and recent graduates of Lehman Catholic High School. The trip, conducted by EF (Education First) Tours with local planning coordinated by Lehman teacher Joe Schmiesing and his wife Erica, the trip was offered to students early last school year. On June 10, the group of 17 students and 10 adults boarded a flight to Prague, Czechoslovakia. The tour of the city included stops at the Prague Castle (constructed in 880), the Golden Lane, and the Charles Bridge (constructed in 1357). Their guide, Ennio Ciaccato,

provided details about the history of the city and country in addition to specific information about the bridge and surrounding buildings. After visiting St. Vitus Cathedral, the group had time for shopping and visiting cafes and other churches in the area. The Rev. Daniel Hess, Lehman chaplain, one of the adults on the trip, was invited to concelebrate Mass at Our Lady of the Snows Church later that afternoon. The next leg of the journey took the group to Munich, Germany. They visited Marienplatz (central marketplace) and saw the famous Glockenspiel clock and the original Hofbrauhaus. More sobering was visiting the huge stadium where Hitler made many of his speeches. The group made a visit to Dachau, the village where the first of Germanyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s many concentration camps was constructed. The camp, constructed in 1933, was initially used to house political prisoners including many Catholic priests who had spoken out against the dangers of Nazism. The campâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s administration building, barracks, crematorium, guard towers

and assembly areas are still open for all to see and never forget the horrors of the Holocaust. The last stop in Germany was Neuschwanstein Castle and the spectacular views from its bridge. The group then proceed to Italy. The first destination was Verona where Shakespeare lovers in the group made sure they visited Julietâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Balcony and the Duomo. The tour of Florence included the workshops of famous Renaissance painters and sculptors. Among the artistic highlights was the extraordinary David sculpture by Michelangelo. The group also walked to Ponte Vecchio, the only bridge in Florence that was not destroyed in the World Wars. The drive from Florence to Rome included stops at San Giminiano and Siena where the travelers were able to enjoy the Tuscan countryside, cathedrals and shops. Upon arrival in Rome, the group saw the Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain and Piazza Navonna. Highlighting the final day of the trip was seeing St. Peterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Square and the Vatican. Viewing the famed Sistine Chapel and St. Peterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Basilica was a

fitting culmination to the tour that also included the Colosseum and the Forum. Emily Pax, a 2012 graduate, said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Seeing the Vatican was definitely my favorite part of the trip. After hearing about it in religion classes all through school, it was amazing to actually go there.â&#x20AC;? Junior Rob Heckman agreed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was so beautiful that it was almost a sensory overload,â&#x20AC;? he said. Students who participated on the trip included 2012 Lehman graduates David Freytag, Colleen Kinninger, Emily Pax, Nicole Larger, Katie Catanzarite, and Kandis Sargeant; seniors Louis Gaier and Riley Pickrel; and juniors Grace Frantz, Elaina Snyder, Katie Heckman, Rob Heckman, Joe Fuller, Lauren Goettemoeller, Julia Harrelson, Shannon Looney and Maddie Franklin. Accompanying the students were chaperones Julia Frantz, Bob and Jen Heckman, Kris Pax, Lorie Looney, and Lehman faculty members Joe Schmiesing and wife Erica, Barb Saluke and husband Jim, and the Rev. Daniel Hess.

OBITUARIES

Kirby C. Cummins

OWENSVILLE (AP) — Republican vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan used a rally in Ohio to criticize the Obama administration’s handling of a deadly attack at the U.S. consulate in Libya, saying it sent mixed signals and made America appear weak. “I want to be clear, it is never too early for the U.S. to condemn attacks on Americans, on our properties and to defend our values,” Ryan told a cheering crowd of hundreds at the Clermont County Fairgrounds east of Cincinnati late Wednesday. “This administration’s policies project weakness abroad,” he said. “A weak America breeds insecurity and chaos around the world. The best guarantee of peace is American strength, and peace and strength will be the Romney-Ryan foreign policy of this country.” Vice President Joe Biden also was in the swing state earlier in the day and focused his remarks on the attack in Libya that killed a U.S. ambassador and three more Americans, saying there’s “no place in the civilized world” for such “senseless murder.” The Democrat opened a rally Wednesday at Wright State University with a message of mourning for those killed the previous day.

Chris Stevens: U.S. envoy to the Arab world BY BRADLEY KLAPPER The Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — At the height of Libya’s civil war, Chris Stevens dashed off to the rebel stronghold of Benghazi by cargo boat to help shape an assortment of Libyan politicians and militias into the cohesive unit that would defeat Moammar Gadhafi. A year-and-ahalf later, the 52-yearold ambassador died as Islamists attacked a U.S. consulate in the same city. Stevens’ death deprives the United States of someone widely regarded as one of the most effective American envoys to the Arab world. In his unfailingly polite and friendly manner, Stevens brokered tribal disputes and conducted U.S. outreach efin Jerusalem, forts Cairo, Damascus and Riyadh. As a rising star in U.S. foreign policy, he cheerily returned to Libya four months ago, determined to see a democracy rise where Gadhafi’s dictatorship for four decades flourished. “It’s especially tragic that Chris Stevens died in Benghazi because it is a city that he helped to save,” President Barack Obama said from the White House Rose Garden on Wednesday. “With characteristic skill, courage and resolve he built partnerships with Libyan revolutionaries and helped them as they planned to build a new Libya.” Stevens was among four Americans who died Tuesday night after the consulate was attacked by gunfire and rocketpropelled grenades. A native of Northern California, he was dispatched to Benghazi in the midst of heavy fighting in April 2011, ferrying to the city on a Greek cargo ship to set up America’s central office for coordinating military strategy, financial assistance and political work with the Libyan opposition. What he encountered was a largely lawless coast, threatened by Gadhafi offensives and short of funds for food, fuel and medicine. Security was a constant concern, he recounted in an August 2011 news conference, but he stressed that Gadhafi’s time was running out. He was right. The war ended shortly after an angry mob killed Gadhafi in late October 2011, but not before Stevens played a critical role in coaxing Libya’s disparate rebel and opposition groups into becoming the cohesive military and political force that the world would recognize as Libya’s legitimate government. Colleagues and foreign officials recalled an impeccably polite and good-natured diplomat with an uncanny ability for winning friends. “He was loved by everybody,” said Ahmed al-Abbar, a Libyan opposition leader during the revolution. As Libya’s post-war challenges persisted, Stevens jumped at the opportunity earlier this year when Obama asked him to be the next U.S. ambassador in the Libyan capital of Tripoli. A couple of weeks before

Chris Stevens his departure, he was a guest of The Associated Press at the White House Correspondents’ Association annual dinner and spoke of his eagerness to get to work. “It’s a really exciting time for Libya,” he said, and stressed that he would stay in touch. Libya’s difficult transition to democracy needed to remain in the public consciousness and not simply disappear under the category of missions accomplished, he explained. Fathi Baja, another former member of Libya’s National Transitional Council, said he met with Stevens on Tuesday morning in Tripoli and saw the ambassador working on securing top Libyan officials with invitations to the next U.S. presidential inauguration. He also was trying to send more Libyan students to study in the U.S. and attract American business to the North African country, Baja said, part of an effort to strengthen U.S.-Libyan relations after they veered from badly damaged to nonexistent under Gadhafi. Obama described Stevens as a “role model to all who worked with him and to the young diplomats who aspire to walk in his footsteps.” “He risked his life to stop a tyrant then gave his life trying to help build a better Libya,” Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said at the State Department. “The world needs more Chris Stevenses.” Obama and Clinton gathered with officials in a courtyard of the State Department, expressing their condolences and comforting those who worked closely with Stevens. The president could be seen telling several people he was sorry for their loss. Stevens is the sixth U.S. ambassador to be killed on duty. The last was Adolph Dubs, in Afghanistan in 1979. While Stevens may have represented the next generation of so-called Arabists — diplomats steeped in the culture and traditions of the Muslim world — he was no pinstripe-suited bureaucrat cut of the Foggy Bottom stereotype. He cherished field work, and disarmed colleagues with his adventurousness and humility even as his reputation rose. Stevens came from a family of doctors and lawyers, but showed an early interest in foreign policy. At Piedmont High School near Oakland, Calif., he served as editor of the school newspaper and was active in the Model U.N. club.

CINCINNATI (AP) — An appeal that was filed by the estate of an Ohio autoworker convicted of Nazi war crimes and sought to help restore his citizenship posthumously has been officially dismissed by a U.S. appeals court. John Demjanjuk, of suburban Cleveland, died March 17 in Germany at age 91. A three-judge panel of the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Cincinnati rejected the citizenship bid in June, upholding a judge’s ruling in Cleveland.

day election. The law makes an exception for military personnel and Ohio voters living overseas. Barack President Obama’s campaign and Democrats sued Husted and Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine over the law. They argued everyone should have the chance to vote on those three days before the election. They said a series of legislative changes by state lawmakers had arbitrarily eliminated the opportunity for most Ohio residents to vote in person on those days, while giving military or overseas voters the chance to do so. Attorneys for the state have said many laws already grant military personnel special voting accommodations, such as requirements for states to send them absentee ballots 45 days before the election. And they contend local boards also need those three days to prepare for the election.

Obama turns to space hero Glenn for radio ad COLUMBUS (AP) — Barack President Obama’s re-election campaign has enlisted astronaut and former U.S. Sen. John Glenn to reach out to rural voters in Glenn’s native Ohio. In statewide radio ads that began airing Wednesday, the 91-yearold Glenn talks of how his dreams began in

small-town Ohio where “family, church, and country came first.” He notes his support for the president’s goals in research and education. Glenn’s appeal is targeted to reach Ohio’s largely white rural population, a demographic that has proven key to winning the closely divided battleground state

in recent presidential elections. A University of Cincinnati Ohio Poll released last month showed Obama slightly ahead of Republican rival Mitt Romney, but running behind in every region of the state except the populous and Democratic largely northeast.

Shane’s mother said he has been fascinated by space since he was 4 — not long after he got his first cochlear implant and began to hear for the first time and speak. “His first word was airplane,” Patsy DiGiovanna said. While he is independent — attending school and absorbing everything possible on space and physics toward his goals of becoming an aerospace engineer and an astrophysicist — he has trouble using his hands and cannot open a heavy door because the friction would tear his skin. “I think my focus on achieving my goal to work for NASA helps me deal with the pain,” he said. He has been impressed by how “down to earth” the astronauts he met have been. He said Cernan “loved it when I asked him what he thought when Jack Schmitt told him as they walked on the moon that he had found orange soil. He was funny. He said he first thought Schmitt had been sucking in too much oxygen.” Shane wishes he could have questioned Armstrong. “I really would have liked to have asked him about the challenge of landing the lunar module on the moon with less than 30 seconds of fuel left,” Shane said. “That was impressive.”

McClellan said Husted intends to provide guidance to boards of election on early voting during the final days before Election Day, but he didn’t know when that would occur. Ohio is among 32 states, plus the District of Columbia, that allow voters to cast early ballots in person without having to give reasons. The early voting period begins on Oct. 2.

Swallowed gem was a fake COLOMBO, Sri Lanka (AP) — Sri Lanka's diamond-swallowing saga took an unexpected turn Tuesday when police revealed the stone swallowed by a visitor at a gem exhibition was a fake and they are searching for the real stone valued at $13,000. Police arrested Chou Wan, 32, after a gem owner complained a man had swallowed his 1.5 carat diamond at a jewelry show in Colombo last week. An Xray taken at a hospital showed the diamond and Chou was given a laxative so the gem could be recovered. The National Gem and Jewelry Authority, which regulates the gem industry, then was asked to inspect the diamond concerned. Police spokesman Ajith Rohana said the authority informed police the diamond Chou swallowed was fake and had no financial value. He said investigators suspect another Chinese man seen with Chou may have the real diamond worth 1.8 million Sri Lankan rupees ($13,636).

A LARGE group of public school teachers marches past John Marshall Metropolitan High School on Wednesday in West Chicago. Teachers walked off the job Monday for the first time in 25 years over issues that include pay raises, classroom conditions, job security and teacher evaluations.

Union president is brash advocate CHICAGO (AP) — She’s brash and blunt, a union leader known for her tart tongue and flip one-liners often aimed at Mayor Rahm Emanuel in a bitter contract dispute regarded as a referendum on the future of Chicago schools. But Karen Lewis — who recently referred to the highstakes talks as “the silly part” of her day — also is a whipsmart Ivy League graduate with a long, distinguished record in the classroom and the overwhelming support of her union’s 30,000 members. Two years after she took the helm of the Chicago Teachers Union, the former chemistry teacher finds herself at the center of a nationally watched confrontation with Emanuel, the equally tough and sharptongued former White House chief of staff. Teachers in the nation’s

third-largest school district walked off the job Monday for the first time in 25 years after negotiators failed to reach an agreement on issues that include performance evaluations based partly on student’s standardized test scores and whether laid-off teachers would have first dibs on job openings districtwide. The 59-year-old Lewis recently called the mayor a bully and a liar, and their already strained relationship hasn’t improved since the strike began. She seems to be winning the public-relations battle in much of Chicago — for now. Many moms and dads have walked the picket lines with their children, and she’s inspired loyalty among teachers in a union long known for infighting. Almost 90 percent of union members voted to authorize a strike.

It all comes down to her credentials and take-no-prisoners personality, supporters say. During a Labor Day rally a week before teachers went on strike, Lewis called the negotiations “a fight for the very soul of public education.” “The commitment to the children of the city of Chicago is in our hearts, in our minds,” she said to a cheering crowd. “It’s in the work we do.” Lewis attended public school in Chicago, in the same area where President Barack Obama has a house. The daughter of two Chicago public school teachers, she graduated from Dartmouth as the only black woman in her class. Lewis then taught in Chicago schools for 22 years and became a National Board certified teacher, one of the profession’s highest qualifications.

MARINES President Barack Obama vowed in a Rose Garden address that the U.S. would “work with the Libyan government to bring to justice” those who killed Ambassador Chris Stevens, information manager Sean Smith and two other Americans who were not identified. Three other Americans were wounded. Stevens was the first U.S. ambassador killed in the line of duty in 30 years. “We reject all efforts to denigrate the religious beliefs of others, but there is absolutely no justification for this type of senseless violence. None,” said Obama, who also ordered increased security at U.S. diplomatic posts abroad. Republican Mitt Romney accused the Obama administration of showing weakness in the consulate killings, but the president retorted that his rival “seems to have a tendency to shoot first and aim later.” Some in the GOP called Romney’s remarks hasty. The mob attack on Tuesday — the 11th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist strike in the U.S. — was initially presumed to have been a spontaneous act triggered by outrage over a movie called “Innocence of Muslims” that mocked Islam’s Prophet Muhammad that was produced in the U.S. and excerpted on YouTube. The amateurish video also drew protests in Cairo, where angry ultraconservatives climbed the U.S. Embassy’s walls, tore down an American flag and replaced it with an Islamic banner. But a U.S. counterterrorism official said the Benghazi violence was “too coordinated or professional” to be spontaneous. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to

NEW YORK (AP) — McDonald’s restaurants in the U.S. will soon get a new menu addition: The number of calories in the chain’s burgers and fries. The world’s biggest hamburger chain said Wednesday that it will post calorie information on restaurant and drive-thru menus nationwide starting Monday. The move comes ahead of a regulation that could require major chains to post the information as early as next year. “We want to voluntarily do this,” said Jan Fields, president of McDonald’s USA. “We believe it will help educate customers.” In cities such as New York and Philadelphia where posting calorie information is already required, however, Fields notes that the information has not changed what customers choose to order. “When it’s all said and done, the menu mix doesn’t change,” she said. “But I do think people feel better knowing this information.” The chain also plans to announce that its restaurants in Latin America, which are owned by a franchisee, will start providing calorie information on menus this spring. McDonald’s, based in Oak Brook, Ill., already posts calorie information in Australia, South Korea and the United Kingdom. The decision to post calorie information in the U.S. follows the Supreme Court’s decision this summer to uphold President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul, which includes a regulation that would require restaurant chains with more than 20 locations to post calorie information. The timetable for carrying out that requirement is being worked out. Corporate Accountability International, which has urged McDonald’s to stop marketing its food to children, notes that the chain has fought efforts to institute menu labeling in local jurisdictions in the past and said its latest move was “certainly not voluntary.”

GLASS, DEBRIS and overturned furniture are strewn inside a room in the gutted U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya, after an attack that killed four Americans, including Ambassador Chris Stevens, Wednesday. The American ambassador to Libya and three other Americans were killed when a mob of protesters and gunmen overwhelmed the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, setting fire to it in outrage over a film that ridicules Islam’s Prophet Muhammad. Ambassador Chris Stevens, 52, died as he and a group of embassy employees went to the consulate to try to evacuate staff as a crowd of hundreds attacked the consulate Tuesday evening, many of them firing machine-guns and rocket-propelled grenades. discuss the incident publicly. The FBI was sending evidence teams to Libya, a law enforcement official said. Libya’s new leadership — scrambling to preserve ties with Washington after U.S. help to overthrow former dictator Moammar Gadhafi — vowed to find those behind the attack. Interim President Mohammed el-Megarif apologized to the United States for what he called the “cowardly” assault, which also killed several Libyan security guards at the consulate in the eastern city. Parliament speaker Omar al-Houmidan suggested the

attack might have been planned, saying the mob “may have had foreign loyalties” — an apparent reference to international terrorists. “We are not sure. Everything is possible,” he said. A Libyan jihadist group, the Omar Abdel-Rahman Brigades, claimed responsibility for a bomb that went off outside the Benghazi consulate in June, causing no injuries. The group, which also carried out several attacks on the International Red Cross in Libya, said at the time that the bomb was revenge for the killing of al-Qaida’s No. 2, Abu Yahya al-Libi, in a U.S. drone

strike in Pakistan. About 50 U.S. Marines were sent to Libya to guard U.S. diplomatic facilities. The Marines are members of an elite group known as a Fleet Antiterrorism Security Team, or FAST, whose role is to respond on short notice to terrorism threats and to reinforce security at embassies. The Marines, sent from a base in Spain, were headed initially to the U.S. Embassy in Tripoli, not to Benghazi, according to U.S. officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk to the press.

Who are you listening to? Students trained Lord than to put confidence in man.” (Any one of us can fail.) Psalm 9:9-10 says: “The Lord also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble and they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou Lord, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.” Humans can comfort you, have empathy for your problem and best of all lift you up in prayer. However, they can also give bad advice and even tell others your private problems. Even people who love the Lord can slip. The best advice anyone can give is to seek the Lord, read the Scriptures and pray. God knows your heart, God knows the right way for you and God speaks to those who seek him. Psalm 34:19 says: “Many are the afflictions. Of the righteous; but the

Lord delivers him out of them all.” The righteous are those in right relationship with God, those who are born again, born of his spirit. He relates or speaks to us through his Holy Scriptures, at prayer time, sometimes through others, sometimes in a still, small voice, but his answer always lines up with his Word, the Holy Bible. In this world today, people seek answers through psychiatrists, analysts, psychics, counselors, Tarot card readers, etc., etc., etc. Who are you listening to? It bears repeating: “It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man.” (Psalm 118:8)

Lehman Catholic’s Campus Ministry Office recently trained students for liturgical service roles. The Rev. Daniel Hess, school chaplain, organized the sessions to invite students to take an active role in serving the Lehman Catholic Community. More than one third of the student body volunteered to be part of at least one of the ministries available. Hess met with 16 students who were trained to be sacristans and 21 students who were trained as Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion. Sacristans are responsible for setting up for Mass, moving the altar and preparing the altar cloths and the vessels used for the bread and wine. Extraordinary Ministers help the priest distribute Holy Communion. Development Director Scott Greve met with 24 students who he trained to serve as lectors for Mass. Lectors are responsible for reading from Scripture and offering the petitions. Student Council President Michael Jacob met with 20 students whom he trained to be Mass servers. Senior Ethan Jock met with 31 students interested in being part of the music ministry.

Minister to speak on ‘A Christian Response to Homosexuality’ Internationally known minister Christop h e r Yuan will visit Sidfor ney three presentat i o n s regarding his program, “A Yuan Christian Response to Homosexuality,” on Sept. 28-30 at Cornerstone Assembly of God Church, 1028 Park St. Yuan travels internationally to minister to those working through issues of sexuality and those living with HIV/AIDS. He is a teacher at Moody Bible Institute and speaks to youth on campuses, churches and prison giving his story of redemption and finding his identity in Christ. He has spoken at Cedarville University, Saddleback

Church and many other conferences. Yuan speaks directly from his personal experiences, according to biographical information on his website, a t w w w. c h r i s t o pheryuan.com. While attending dental school, Yuan began living promiscuously as a gay man and experimenting with illicit drugs. Within a few years, he was expelled from dental school, imprisoned for drug dealing and discovered that he was HIV positive. He now tells of God turning his life around through redemption, grace and transformation. Yuan is featured in the award-winning documentary, “Hope Positive: Surviving the sentence of AIDS,” and has co-authored the book, “Out of a Far Country: A Gay Son’s Journey to God, a

Mother’s Search for Hope.” He graduated Moody Bible Institute in 2005 and Wheaton College Graduate School in 2007 with a master’s degree in biblical exegesis. He is currently pursuing a doctorate of ministry at Bethel Seminary. Cornerstone Pastor Harry Peterson said, “There is an issue that seems to be dividing our churches, church families and entire denominations that need to be addressed. It’s the issue of homosexuality. “This will be for Christians and those who would consider themselves outside the church, that will give a biblical concept and view of homosexuality that can bring restoration and not division. Our teenagers and college students, who are bombarded with misleading information daily, will

benefit greatly from these sessions.” On Sept. 28, beginning at 7 p.m., family testimony will be heard followed by Yuan’s program presentation. On Sept. 29, the opening session begins at 9 a.m. with texts and hermeneutics. At 10 a.m., a discussion of “Nature or Nurture” will be held along with a breakout session regarding “Ordinary Parents, Extraordinary Father,” and the day will end with a question-and-answer session. On Sept. 30, Yuan will speak to the adult Sunday school class at 9:30 a.m. with family testimony during the regular 10:30 a.m. service. The sessions are free to the public. Reservations are not necessary, but seating is limited. For additional information, contact the church at 498-1328.

WALLACE: Parking has always been a problem at our high school. Sometimes it is difficult to even find a parking space, especially when the weather is bad. The student council is suggesting that students who have a valid driving license

be given a permanent parking space. The spaces will be numbered and a student will retain the space for the entire school year. Of course, some spaces will be more desirable than others. The way it will work is that the 12th graders will get first choice, then the 11th graders and finally, the 10th graders who have a license. The seniors will draw numbers from 1 to 67 with No. 1 getting first choice. The 11th graders will draw next, followed by the 10th graders. Some underclass students think that to be fair the entire group of driving students should draw with numbers ranging from 1 to about 150. If you were our principal, which plan would you use? — Nameless, Oakland, Calif.

NAMELESS: Seniority has its privileges. Twelfth graders should get first choice followed by eleventh graders and sophomore licensed drivers next. I like the idea of each student driver having a designated parking space. I wish I could have tried this idea when I was a high school principal. Dr. Robert Wallace welcomes questions from readers.

COUNCIL penses without additional reductions,” Adams said, adding that service levels continue to be at reduced levels. A second challenge is the Ohio EPA’s requirements for the city of Sidney’s sewer system, which includes significant rate increases for local residents. There will be an increase in the cost of sewer operations, which will require “massive capital improvements” and will result in increased sewer (and water) rates and a new I&I fee for local residents. The third challenge is the city’s water source and water system improvements, which will “require water revenue increases.” Revenue uncertainty The uncertainty of income tax revenue is also an issue for local officials. Income tax revenue was expected to drop by 6 percent for 2012, but currently it appears it will be down by 2 percent from 2011. Employee tax withholding is expected to increase 2 percent in 2013 and taxes from business net profits are expected to drop 5 percent. Due to “concerns over future levels of income tax collections” and the reduction of state revenue “no longer shared at the local level,” the city will maintain budget reductions. Adams said those reductions have “negatively affected” service to local residents and the maintenance of the infrastructure. Some programs have been eliminated and others have been “substantially” reduced, including recreation programs, fire prevention education, police community resource programs and other services. Outside agency funding has also been reduced. Reduced staffing The city has reduced staffing to deal with the deficits and Adams stated it is “more of a challenge” to provide services. The city has eliminated 27 seasonal and part-time positions since 2008 and 28 fulltime positions. Those positions will “remain unfunded through 2017.” Three positions were added as part of the Ohio EPA mandate and will be funded through the new sewer fees. No anticipated additional reductions in staffing are planned. “We will continue to monitor the economic environment and our financial condition. Should the economic situation worsen, such measures may be reconsidered,” Adams said. There are also “limited wage increases” scheduled through 2017, Adams stated. Addressing the wage situation, Adams said, Sidney firefighters have one year left on their collective bargaining agreement and the wage increase is from 0 to 3 percent, depending on income tax collections. Contracts with three Sidney Police employee unions expired in June and an agreement has been reached with their union. Wages for officers will remain the same until June 16, at which time they will receive a 1 percent increase and they will receive a 1 percent increase on June 15, 2014. Wage for dispatchers at the Police Department and police supervisors are ongoing. Nonunion employees make up one-third of the city’s employees and

they received no wage increase in 2010, a 2 percent increase in 2011 and no increase this year. The five-year plan gives those employees a 1 percent increase each year. It was noted that employee wages and benefits are the city’s “largest operating cost.” Council also looked at the following issues in the five-year forecast: • Deferral of maintenance, improvements and nonessential services. Under this plan, vehicle and large purchases will be deferred until finances have improved. Adams said local officials are very concerned about the condition of Sidney streets. The street resurfacing program is now on a 45-plus-year replacement cycle instead of 12to 15-year. It was noted without a levy, the streets will continue to deteriorate. Moderate increases • The plan calls for “moderate fee increases” for local services. There is a proposal to increase refuse fees in 2013 to include the cost of big-item pickup and yard-waste programs, which are currently subsidized. There is also a proposal for a stormwater rate increase of 15 percent in 2014. That would eliminate the general fund subsidy. • A need for significant water rate increases for local residents. In 2013, there is a 14 percent water rate increase proposed to pay for “water source protection and other water system and plant improvements.” There would be a 29 percent increase in water rates in 2014. • The lime sludge lagoon is almost full and needs to be replaced. A

new lagoon is scheduled for 2014. The project is expected to cost $6.5 million. This may result in an increase in water rates of another 15 percent in 2015. • There have been reductions in the state shared motor vehicle license fees since 2007 as a result of a reduction in money received from interstate trucking operations in Ohio. A local trucking company moved outside of Sidney and also negatively impacted revenues. Project priority • Among capital improvement projects, the priorities include the second phase of reconstruction of Wapakoneta Avenue from Parkwood Street to Russell Road at a cost of approximately $1.9 million. Grants will help with some of that cost. The city will pay 9.5 percent or $183,000 for the project. • Other projects receiving priority are work on the existing storm drain on Russell Road, reconstruction of Port Jefferson Road from Russell Road to Wells Drive; and ODOT bridge replacement funds for $819,000 for the Michigan Street bridge over the CSX railroad in 2015. That will allow fire trucks and other trucks and buses to go over the bridge. • The ODOT Safety Program awarded the city a 90 percent grant for traffic safety improvements on Ohio 47, which are scheduled for 2014 through 2017. • The city plans to replace two of the Sidney Fire Department’s medic units at a cost of $340,000 and a fire engine for $675,000 between 2015 and 2017. The fire engine will be

replaced with a “quint,” which is a fire service apparatus that serves the dual purpose of an engine and a ladder truck. There is also an ongoing rotation of police cruisers. Adams said the city staff is “confident that the proposed 2013-2017 Five-Year Financial Plan provides a plan to continue the city’s financial stability and make progress toward the objectives of the comprehensive plan and council goals.” Large-item pickup Following the presentation, Mayor Mike Barhorst discussed the large-item pickup mentioned in the report, statthat he is ing “increasingly concerned about the amount of crap sitting in people’s yards.” He said something needs to be done about that issue. Council member Steve Wagner agreed, noting that when people move, they leave the items and don’t call the city for big-item pickup. Adams assured Barhorst and council that the service will not be eliminated. Cundiff told council members that the city fleet manager has stated that in some cases, city vehicles and equipment must be replaced. He said there are old police cruisers that need to be replaced and said, “it’s a balancing act.” The city is also planning to place new decals on cruisers. Sidney Fire Chief Brad Jones told council that the replacement of Fire Engine 3 with the quint fire apparatus will cost more, but will provide more benefits. Right now, Jones said, with the Shelby County Fire Department gone, they

have to rely on mutual aid from Piqua for the equipment that is no longer available to them. The fire department’s aerial ladder truck will be 30 years old soon and a new aerial ladder truck is projected out to 2018 or 2019 before the department can replace it under the current financial situation. The fire department also needs to replace 30 breathingsupport systems and noted that the rapid-intervention crew packs for firefighters are not compatible with other equipment. “We need to fix this right away,” Jones said. Street repairs Wagner said he is struggling with paying for improvements on Ohio 47, noting that a lot of city streets need repairs. He said he felt maybe the $150,000 for that project could be used for residential streets. Barhorst responded to Wagner, stating, “We’re going to have some (residential) streets that simply don’t get fixed ... if you’re going to attract business and industry to town, you have to make it look better than it looks.” Wagner said that still did not change his mind about using that money for residential streets. Cundiff thanked Adams and her staff for their work on the fiveyear forecast and said he wanted to “thank all the department heads as well. ... They didn’t come in with anything unreasonable” he said, although he said earlier they did have some “consternation” about the budget situation. Council will vote on the plan at its Sept. 24 meeting.

for both water and sewer services. They include increases of 14 percent in 2013; 26 percent in 2014; 10 percent in 2015; 3.5 percent in 2016; and 3.5 percent in 2017. Those fees represent per-year increases and do not include the monthly inflow and infiltration (I&I) fee of approximately 22 percent. I&I is in regard to ground water and storm water that flows into the sewer system and must be treated at the wastewater treatment plant. The fees are contingent on approval by council members. The first reading to change the rates will take place at the Nov. 26 council meeting, Adams stated, although council will look at the rates at a budget workshop Nov. 5. Adams described the increases as “largely a resissue” and idential responded to a council member’s question regarding whether commercial businesses will see an increase in fees since they have multiple connections for sewer and water. Adams stated the increases would affect them less. A number of other factors are affecting the bottom line for the city of Sidney, including reduction in LGF funding and other cutbacks. Adams noted, “The state’s budget included a reduction of Local Government Fund distributions to Ohio municipalities of 25 percent for the period from July 2011 to June 2012, followed by another 25 percent reduction effective July 2012.” Fewer funds “The state also eliminated the estate tax effective 2013. Prior to this change, the estate tax was distributed roughly 20 percent to the state and 80 percent to local municipalities. Finally, the state’s budget bill effectively eliminated the state’s reimbursement of tangible personal property tax to Sidney,” Adams said. The estate tax will eliminate $1.25 million in revenue in 2013. Tangible personal property (TPP) tax revenue reductions will be $850,000 as of 2013 and LGF funding will drop by $2.335 million based on a 25 percent and then an estimated 50 percent drop in funding. That reduces potential funding over the next five years by $4.435 million based on the state’s current plan. Local officials are also bracing for the likelihood that Gov. John Kasich and state legislators will further limit resources to local communities, Adams explained. “Although not included in this plan, there is speculation that the governor and state legislators could propose eliminating remaining Local Government Fund distributions during its next biennial budget period from July 2013 to June 2015,” she said. “This would take away funding of nearly $400,000 per year and cause further reductions in local services.” Major changes Adams told council members that she sees three major challenges in the five-year financial forecast. The first is that the previous budget restrictions will remain in place due to a loss of state revenue, reduced investment income and most funds are at minimum cash reserves. In fact, the city of Sidney will “not be able to withstand a large drop in revenue or unexpected increase in ex-

chair of Springfield walk The Central Ohio Chapter of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) named Phil Teusink, community president of Huntington Bank as the corporate chair of its Springfield Light The Night Walk, the LLS annual fundraising event each fall to raise money for cancer research and patient services. LLS holds walks each fall in 200 communities across the United States and Canada. Participants at the walks carry illuminated balloons â&#x20AC;&#x201D; white for survivors, red for supporters, and gold to remember those who have died â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to honor and commemorate lives touched by blood cancer. In Central Ohio, walks will take place in Springfield, Zanesville and Columbus. The Springfield walk will be held on Sept. 22 at Clark State Community College. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Light The Night is a great way to build team spirit among employees as they get involved in an activity to help those in need,â&#x20AC;? said Teusink. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am The leukemia diagnosis came out of the blue for Ciriegio. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I went to the emergency room because I had the flu,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My white cell count was more than 500,000. It should have been between 5,00011,000. I was transported by ambulance to the James Cancer Hospital in Columbus. There my cell count was 586,000. It was higher there because the test at Wilson Hospital couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t register higher than 500,000.â&#x20AC;? She was diagnosed with chronic myeloid leukemia, which is a slowgrowing type of cancer that affects those cells in the bone marrow that normally go on to form white blood cells. Ciriegio spent a week at the hospital. Because of bad weather, none of her family from Sidney could travel to Columbus, so her husbandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cousin, who lives in Columbus, stayed with her during her hospitalization. â&#x20AC;&#x153;While I was there, I saw two people die. For three days, I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know if I was going to live or die. I thought I only had three months to live,â&#x20AC;? said Ciriegio. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was told with my high white cell count I shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have been breathing or walking.â&#x20AC;? Ciriegio has taken

honored to serve as the chair and look forward to encouraging commitment from local businesses and corporations.â&#x20AC;? The funds raised through corporate and individual contributions help to find cures and better therapies for leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin disease and myeloma, and to provide information, education and support for patients and their families. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Light The Night Walk gives hope to patients and their families and lets them know they are not alone in their battle against cancer. Clark County is our second largest county for patient financial assistance in Central Ohio. We are excited to have Light The Night in Springfield this yearâ&#x20AC;? said Central Ohio Chapter Executive Director Phillip Tanner.

three different kinds of oral chemotherapy. The first two didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t agree with her system. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The third one seems to be doing pretty good,â&#x20AC;? said Ciriegio. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I will be on the medicine for the rest of my life.â&#x20AC;? And while the medicine is controlling the leukemia at the present time, Ciriegio knows a bone marrow transplant may be in her future. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My brothers were all tested as bone marrow donors,â&#x20AC;? said Ciriegio. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My brother, Kevin, in California, was a 100 percent match.â&#x20AC;? All proceeds from the walk go to the American Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The money stays local to help the patients and their families,â&#x20AC;? said the pair. The organization helps with costs of transportation, medications, co-pays and other expenses associated with traveling to get treatment. More than $166,000 has been given to leukemia patients to help with their expenses. Some of the funds are also used for research. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I liked how much was spent locally,â&#x20AC;? said Bell. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The organizers of the walk say they love us and our team.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;They have brought us

fliers for the different fundraisers weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve held,â&#x20AC;? said Ciriegio. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve given us fantastic ideas for fundraisers.â&#x20AC;? During the walk, a banner contest will be held. Prizes will be given to the winners. All the Luke Nuke team members will be wearing matching Tshirts which have â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re the bombâ&#x20AC;? on the back. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have amazing coworkers,â&#x20AC;? said Ciriegio. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All of the people I work with gave me a reason to get up everyday and put a smile on my face. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My granddaughter, Bailey, was a month old when I was diagnosed,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She was my gift from God. Nobody has let me quit since I was diagnosed.â&#x20AC;? And with that smile and determination, Ciriegio and Team Nuke Luke are ready to bomb leukemia out of existence.

QUINCY â&#x20AC;&#x201D; During its Aug. 21 meeting, Quincy Village Council reviewed the street lighting contract with Miami Valley Lighting Also reviewed was the possibility of street light service not being funded if the 3.2 replacement levy for current village operations does not pass. It was noted the contract is for four years from 2012 to 2016. There are penalties and charges for breaking the contract and removal of equipment. At this time funding is moving forward. The 3.2 replacement levy is for current operating and generates $17,000 and a portion of that funding also supplies police protection and fire services. If anyone has questions or is interested in funds are spent, they may attend a council meeting or contact a member of the village government for answers and consideration. Council agreed to purchase 750 gallons of propane from Hi-Grade Oil Co. at a rate of $1.759 per gallon at the locked in rate. Brought to councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attention was the use of vehicles on the village streets. Only vehicles that are legally licensed by the Bureau of Motor Vehicles and vehicles that have been inspected and tagged by the Logan County Sheriff Department are allowed on Quincy streets, and operators of such vehicles must have a valid driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s license. All-terrain vehicles,

We accept

mini scooters and gocarts are not permitted on public streets and violators will be cited. Residents in the village are reminded they have 24-hour window for placement of trash for pick-up. The village is continuing to prepare documents for application for the removal of unsafe residential buildings in Quincy. The funds used for this purpose are a part of a state wide program called Moving Ohio Forward and each county has the opportunity to be involved. Logan County will receive money to be shared. Issues with the mandatory requirement from the Ohio EPA regarding an operator being at the plant 24 per week were also reviewed. Final agreements have not yet been made. The village has been informed renovations at the water plant are moving forward. The water filtration equipment has been delivered and is in the process of being installed. A tentative date for the filtration system to go on line has been given as the end of September. A final discussion held during the meeting was the need to replace the backhoe. After several research efforts cost estimates went from a brand new model at $69,818 to a 2005 model at $36,150. Due to current economic conditions, the matter was place on hold.

Ohio remains focal point for election BY PATRICIA ANN SPEELMAN pspeelman@sdnccg.com Pollsters say that Ohio will be a pivotal state in the upcoming presidential election. That’s why there seem to be floods of ads on television from both parties and their supporters. But the Obama campaign in Ohio is not depending solely upon broadcast messages, according to Greg Schultz, the state director of the Obama campaign, who made a brief stop in Sidney recently. “We’re going to win because neighbors are talking to neighbors,” he said. “This country and this economy grow when the middle class has a chance to succeed, when we have a tax system that is equitable. By investing in education and manufacturing, we can grow the economy from the middle out. From the top down doesn’t work.” At the same time, campaign leaders have to make sure that negative ads are answered, he said. Those ads are the biggest threat to the Obama campaign. On a two-week heartland tour, the Obama bus with Ohio campaign directors aboard made a stop at the Tom Becker farm in Anna. The campaigners discussed small-town issues and what the president has done in rural America. They acknowledged that small towns are struggling and listed three things that can turn conditions around. “1. Education — that means a whole host of things,” Schultz said, “like making sure that college is affordable. 2. Infrastructure needs are great. Obama had a jobs act that Congress wouldn’t pass. You build a road and things happen on that road. 3. And having a tax system that is equitable. The rich have more tax loopholes.” There are 65 campaign offices across the state and thousands of volunteers. There is no office in Shelby County, but there is one in Troy at 6 E. Main St. and another in Wapakoneta at 101 W. Auglaize St. People who want to volunteer for the campaign can visit oh.barakobama.com and sign up online or visit a campaign office. “This campaign is organized going

back to the primaries,” Schultz said. “It is organized organically, focused on neighborhood teams. We’re not running one campaign, but hundreds of campaigns, invested in small local areas.” Schultz thinks the effort in Ohio to re-elect Obama will tap into the energy that developed to defeat Senate Bill 5/Issue 2. “That provided a clear narrative of what Republicans do when they have power,” he said. “(Defeating it) energized people who were against Republicans, including cops, firefighters, teachers. We (Democrats) were able to build energy we never would have had before. We walk in with an energized base. We can have a conversation now we could not have in 2008.” He also referenced the comeback of the auto industry. Ohio is the number one maker of supply parts in the nation. “Eighty of Ohio’s 88 counties have auto parts manufacturers,” he said. “Romney said, ‘Let it go bankrupt.’” Schultz attacked Romney for not showing his tax returns. “Our campaign is not arguing that you can’t be rich. But don’t be wealthy because you outsourced jobs. If you’re going to be rich, keep your money here. Why hide it in Switzerland and the Cayman Islands?” Obama’s Ohio team recognizes that results of this election could affect local people for many years. “This is the most clear choice election in a long time in this country,” the director said. “At the end of the day, who has your back? Who’s in the White House and what does he care about? Do people facing chemo have to worry about lifetime caps (on insurance)? Medicare is such a popular program. For this state, what they (Republicans) have proposed is a voucher. Their values don’t line up with this community. You work hard. You play by the rules. The tax cuts for the rich are at the expense of the middle class.” Schultz is counting on local supporters to carry the message and to make sure the president carries the day Nov. 6. “We put the success of the campaign in our volunteers’ hands,” he said.

statement from Cairo as disgraceful and “akin to apology.” He added, “It’s never too early for the United States government to condemn attacks on Americans and to defend our values.” Appearing in Jacksonville, Fla., Romney quickly broadened his remarks to emphasize other disagreements he has with Obama on national security issues, citing “differences of opinion with regards to Israel and our policies there; with regards to Iran, with regards to Afghanistan, with regards to Syria.” The events unfolded with less than eight weeks remaining in the race for the White House, a campaign that has been close for months and appears likely to be settled in fewer than 10 battleground states. The state of the economy has been the top issue by far from the beginning of the race, and recent surveys suggest Romney holds a narrowing advantage over the president when it comes to plans for reducing the nation’s unemployment rate of 8.1 percent.

Justice will be done” he declared, referring to those responsible for the murders of Chris Stevens, U.S. ambassador to Libya, and three others. The four diplomats were killed on Tuesday as protesters overran and burned the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi. In a separate incident, the American Embassy in Cairo was breached by protesters, and the nation’s flag was ripped down, although no deaths were reported there. The political fallout came as U.S. officials investigated whether the attack in Libya was a terrorist strike planned to mark the 11th anniversary of the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. Initial reports were that both the Libya and Egypt events had been motivated by anger over an amateur film made in the United States that ridiculed Islam’s Prophet Muhammad. Either way, some Republicans joined Democrats in questioning Romney’s decision to inject himself into the situation thousands of miles away with his critical statement Tuesday night. He followed up with morning remarks in which he blasted the administration’s initial

WASHINGTON (AP) — Republican challenger Mitt Romney accused President Barack Obama’s administration on Wednesday of showing weakness in the face of tumultuous events that left four U.S. diplomats dead in the Middle East and jolted the race for the White House. Obama retorted that his rival “seems to have a tendency to shoot first and aim later.” Even some Republicans questioned Romney’s handling of the issue, calling it hasty. Top GOP leaders in Congress pointedly declined to endorse his criticism of the president. Said Obama: “It’s important for you to make sure that the statements that you make are backed up by the facts. And that you’ve thought through the ramifications before you make ‘em.” Obama-the-politicalcandidate’s unusually personal criticism, which came in an interview with CBS, stood in contrast to his appearance outside the White House earlier in the day. Then, he somberly mourned the deaths and announced the deployment of additional Marines at diplomatic posts overseas in his capacity as commander in chief. “And make no mistake.

50 years ago Sept. 13, 1962 An invisible assailant has dealt a serious blow to Sidney’s depth chart, right where it hurts the most — in the quarterback department. Known by the jawbreaking name of mononucleosis, it represents an ailment that was incurred by Dave Lerch and fates the 160-pound senior to watch the Jackets from the sidelines for the rest of the season.

25 years ago Sept. 13, 1987 Sidney’s reserve football team won its opener Saturday, defeating Bellefontaine 21-12. Mark Elliott scored on a 15-yard run for Sidney and Dave Kaser scored the other two touchdowns on a 15-yard screen pass and a oneyard run. Dave Lakso intecepted a pass and Mike Gallimore recovered a fumble.

Lehman invades Fort Loramie Friday in first NWCC clash BY KEN BARHORST kbarhorst@sdnccg.com It can now be called a rivalry, says Fort Loramie coach Matt Burgbacher. Last year, Fort Loramie was able to get its first victory over Lehman after losing the first seven meetings between the schools, starting in 2005. Even though geography dictated that the rivalry always existed, Burgbacher balked at calling it one, because of Loramie’s inability to come away with a victory. But last year’s 49-0 win by the Redskins has changed his tune. “We beat them last year, so it’s a rivalry now,” he said. “Our kids know what this game means. They know what it means to the former players, former coaches and the community.” The two joined the Northwest Central Conference this season, and even though they would have preferred to meet in week 10, they are instead playing their first NWCC games ever against each other. And it takes place at 7 p.m. Friday night. The way the conference is stacking up right now, this could be for the league championship. Four of the league

DELAUNTE THORNTON runs against Toledo Christian. He is already at 523 yards on the season. schools are currently 0-3, and two more, including Lehman, are 1-2. Even league-leading Ridgemont at 3-0 is suspect, since all three of its opponents so far are winless. “It’s the first league game and you always want to get started off the right way in league play,” said Burgbacher. “But we treat every week like we’re playing for a league championship.”

Lehman bounced back from losses to Anna and Minster (both 3-0) to open the season to beat Division III Indian Lake 21-14 last week, scoring 14 points in the final nine minutes to come from behind. “For a team that had only scored 14 points prior to that fourth quarter, that was big,” said Lehman coach Dick Roll. “We got four turnovers and that was a big part of it. But the kids also made the plays when they had to. I thought Lane Monnin (slotback) had a good game, and is becoming more and more a part of our offense,” he added. “Drew Westerheide caught the ball well and Nick Rourke threw it well. It’s nice to be talking about our passing game again.” Likewise, the Redskins have bounced back from an opening-night loss to Minster to win two in a row, the latest a big road win over Toledo Christian, 54-6 last week. “I was very pleased after the New Bremen game (week two) and even more pleased last week,” said Burgbacher. “We thought Toledo Christian was a pretty good football team. I thought our kids came out fired up and ready to play.” Running back Delaunte

BUCKEYES BUZZ: When Cal (1-1) and 12th-ranked Ohio State (2-0) square off on Saturday, it’ll be a meeting of old friends. “Urban and I are good friends. He’s probably one of my better friends in coaching,” Golden Bears coach Jeff Tedford said. “I have a lot of respect for him. We were kind of dealt the same thing in my first year here, not being able to go to a bowl game because of something that happened before you got there. But Urban is a great coach, a very good motivator. He runs a strict program. He’s a very good recruiter so as time goes on I’m sure he’ll put his mark on the program, as he already

Thornton rushed for 265 yards on just 21 carries for the Redskins, an average of 12.6 yards per carry, and Craig Fullenkamp had 163 yards receiving and three touchdowns. But Burgbacher said the offensive line was a big key to those numbers, including center Luke Gigandet, guards Tristan Stripling and Andy Meyer, tackles Zach Brandewie and David Ahrns and tight end Clay Hoying. “And our fullbacks do a great job blocking, too.” “Loramie is a quality team,” said Roll of the Redskins. “(Seth) Guillozet is a solid quarterback and Thornton is the real deal back there. We’re going to know where he’s at on every play, but they have other guys to stop, too.” Burgbacher doesn’t expect any surprises. “They’re a typical Dick Roll team,” he said. “They going to play hard and play to the whistle. They started out with a tough schedule, and got a big win last week, so they’re going to come in here confident. “They’re going to take some things away from us,” he added. “We have to be disciplined and do the things we do.”

has to a certain extent.” They met when both were visiting a St. Louis Rams practice and have spent time together when possible ever since. They went on a trip sponsored by a major athletic manufacturer recently, have played golf a couple of times and have spent a lot of time talking. Meyer also has a lot of respect for Tedford. “I studied football with him back when I was at Bowling Green and still to this day utilize some of his pass concepts,” Meyer said. “Every year we spend a lot of time together; a great man, great wife, great family, and I have a lot of respect for him as a coach.” Occasionally when they get together, they talk shop. “We do sometimes.

year we did not talk shop,” Tedford said. “It was really just mainly about the coaching profession in general. We’ve become good enough friends where we talk family and things like that. This year there was not a lot of football, as you can imagine.” QUOTABLE: OL Andrew Norwell hasn’t gotten a haircut since he’s been at Ohio State. This is his third year of college. “I just like the long hair. I have naturally curly hair and girls get jealous when they see my hair,” he said. “I just say it’s curls for the girls.” UPDATES: Cal RT Matt Summers-Gavin will not play for a second straight game, although LB Chris McCain and TE Richard Rodgers are listed as probable.

Adam Doenges says it never crossed his mind about his team feeling the effects of having to make two long trips to West Carrollton last weekend, thanks to storms on Friday night. The Jackets lost for the first time this season, 31-24 to the Pirates on Saturday, and Doenges wasn’t making any excuses. “To be honest, the trips didn’t even cross my mind until somebody mentioned it Sunday night,” said the young coach. “I really thought we came out better on Saturday afternoon than we did Friday night. We just dug ourselves too big a hole.” But he wasn’t disappointed in the way his squad played. “Our mistakes, after watching film, were mistakes of being too aggressive,” he said. “We had missed coverages, and they did some trick stuff and made some nice play calls. They saw that the only way we’d be able to stop their run and short routes was to be aggressive, and they made a good adjustment. But the good things is, you can never fault the kids for being aggressive. We just didn’t trust our reads.” He said he thought quarterback Jordan Fox “grew up” last week. He was 13-for-33 passing for 163 yards against the Pirates. “He did a good job making his reads and making his throws,” said Doenges. “Now we just have to find some other kids to throw to. We’ve had a lot of dropped passes.” Kaleb Martin had a good game catching the ball last week, averaging 39 yards on three receptions. See JACKETS/Page 14

However, the Jackets did not have much success running the ball. In fact, Fox was the leading rusher with just 39 yards, and Eric Barnes was held to just 11 yards on 11 carries. “They came pretty hard with their two middle linebackers,” said Doenges. “And we were kinda banged up in the backfield and on the offensive line.” The Jackets face a huge challenge this week, returning to Sidney Memorial Stadium to take on unbeaten Springboro, which is off to an outstanding start to the season. The Panthers have wins over Mason, Centerville and Fairmont so far, and find themselves at the top of Region 4 of Division I in the computer rankings. “Springboro is probably one of the best D-I teams that I’ve seen

since I’ve been here,” said Doenges. “They are extremely well-coached and have extremely good players. I’m not saying they have better athletes than some of the teams we play, but across the board, they are as good a total team as we’ll see this season. It’s a very, very good football team.” Doenges said he doesn’t like to his players. “It’s a tall order for our kids,” he said. “We don’t want to lie to them. It’s probably the best team we’ll face this season, and the best offensive and defensive lines we’ll see. We’ll have to play sound, fundamental football because the good teams are going to take advantage of your mistakes. “We have to make the plays we’re capable of making, and making plays above and beyond a couple times this week,” he added.

The Tigers will be the underdogs Friday because of their 1-2 record, but those two losses have come to strong teams in Celina and

Coldwater, which beat the Tigers just 21-7 last week. With a new coach, the Tigers are a vastly different team. Last season, it was a wide-open offense with a lot of passes.

TONY STEWART

BY JENNA FRYER AP NASCAR WRITER

ony Stewart barely made it into the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship last year, but took off like a rocket once the 10-race title-deciding series began. He won five races, including the season finale, to tie Carl Edwards in the standings and win his third championship on a tie-breaker. Jeff Gordon wants to be this year’s version of Stewart. Gordon clawed his way into the 12-driver field with a vintage run Saturday night at Richmond. His car was off early, but came to life as the laps wound down. He charged his way through the field to finish second and nudge Kyle Busch out by three points for the final slot in the Chase field. It’s been 11 years since Gordon won his fourth championship, and he’s ready to end the frustrating “Drive for Five.” “I don’t see any reason why we can’t go over these next 10 races and be a real threat for the championship,” he said. It won’t be easy, not with this stacked field that includes all three of Gordon’s Hendrick Motorsports teammates.

But there are two Toyota drivers this season as Michael Waltrip Racing makes its Chase debut with Clint Bowyer and Martin Truex Jr. Bowyer’s win Saturday night at Richmond was his second of the season, and Truex has been close many times this year to picking up a win.

Notre Dame joins ACC Fujita returns to Browns

Football to stay independent but play 5 ACC foes annually coming years; the Irish will play each ACC member at least once every three seasons. The move will alleviate some of the challenges for a football independent of scheduling games and finding bowl openings with conference tie-ins gobbling up spots. “Today is a great day for the University of Notre Dame and our athletics department, including the football program,” Irish football coach Brian Kelly said in a statement. “Speaking strictly from a football standpoint, we have further solidified our future as an independent in college football, maintained our unique ability to schedule nationally and greatly improved our postseason bowl game options. ... (Jenkins and Swarbrick) have set our entire athletics department up for great success in the future.” For the ACC, the addition of Notre Dame was a show of stability amid constantly shifting league affiliations. The ACC — which will add Pittsburgh and Syracuse from the Big East next year — had informal discussions with Notre Dame over the years, as had other potential suitors for the school and its brand-name football program. But the ACC made an exception to its all-ornothing requirement for schools to be full members and equally share revenue to get a deal done. And Swarbrick said the ACC was the only conference Notre Dame entered into “substantive

NOTRE DAME president Rev. John I. Jenkins, right, is congratulated by Atlantic Coast Conference commissioner John Swofford during a news conference at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill, N.C., Wednesday. Notre Dame will play five football games annually against ACC schools, but will be a full member in all other sports. discussion” about joining. “I think it just came through in our internal discussions that now’s the time,” Swofford said. “This is a partnership that is a win-win and good for both parties. The time had come to cross that threshold.” Notre Dame will keep its broadcast partnership with NBC and won’t receive TV revenue for other ACC football games covered by the league’s recent 15year deal with ESPN worth $3.6 billion. Swofford said the ACC would re-negotiate its TV contract to account for Notre Dame’s arrival. Swofford said the ACC is done with expansion for now. “There is no need to add a 16th team to the league and there’s no intention of doing so,” he said. The Big East has a 27-month notification period for any member that wants to leave, and a $5 million exit fee.

Swofford said the timing of Notre Dame’s exit would be handled by the school and the Big East. It won’t come until the 2015-16 season, Swarbrick said, unless the two sides can agree to an earlier exit. The Big East has shown a willingness to negotiate, as it did with Pittsburgh and Syracuse, who paid $7.5 million each to get out early. Once Notre Dame joins, the ACC will have plucked six schools from the Big East — Miami, Virginia Tech and Boston College joined in 2004 and 2005 — in its expansion to 15 schools. “Notre Dame has been a valued member of the Big East Conference and we wish them success in the future,” Big Commissioner East Mike Aresco said. “However, Notre Dame’s departure does not change our plans. We have prestigious institutions that are excited to be a part of the Big East.”

CLEVELAND BROWNS linebacker Scott Fujita walks off the field after practice at the team's headquarters in Berea. at nearby Baldwin Wallace University, where he could hear the whistle tweets from Cleveland’s coaches during practice. He hoped all along he would be eligible to play in Week 1, and on Friday his suspension, along with penalties against Saints Jonathan linebacker Vilma, defensive end Will Smith and free agent Anthony Hargrove, were overturned. But while the ruling went in Fujita’s favor, it came too late for him to show coach Pat Shurmur he was fully recovered from a leg injury that kept him out of Cleveland’s last three preseason games. He didn’t play in Sunday’s season opener at home against Philadelphia. Goodell, whose authority to punish the suspended players was questioned by the panel, wants to meet with Fujita and the others “as soon as possible.”

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (AP) — Notre Dame got everything it wanted and the Atlantic Coast Conference got Notre Dame. The school announced Wednesday that it would join the ACC in all the conference’s sports except football, though it will play five games annually against league programs and have access to its non-BCS bowl tie-ins. It’s unclear exactly when the Irish will leave the Big East for its non-football sports. “I don’t think there’s out there a better situation than the situation we have,” said the Rev. John I. Jenkins, Notre Dame’s president. “The ACC has allowed us to retain a tradition (of football independence) that’s so central to our identity in football while we’re joining a conference that athletically as well as academically fits Notre Dame perfectly.” The league, meanwhile, announced that it had increased its exit fees for member schools to three times the league’s annual operation budget — which would currently come to more than $50 million. ACC Commissioner John Swofford said the exit fee goes into effect immediately and would apply to Notre Dame. Jenkins and athletic director Jack Swarbrick attended a news conference Wednesday at North Carolina’s Kenan Stadium, where the Irish played the Tar Heels in 2008 in their first visit in more than three decades. Notre Dame will likely be here far more often in the

BEREA, Ohio (AP) — Back where he belonged, Scott Fujita ran free. Disentangled, for the moment, from a legal straitjacket threatening his reputation and career, the Browns linebacker practiced without worry Wednesday. His three-game suspension overturned, but his legal fight not yet over, Fujita was again around teammates who never doubted him — and who missed him. “We felt his presence,” safety T.J. Ward said. “He was out there making a lot of noise, running around like he was a rookie, making jokes. It’s really good to have him back.” Fujita practiced for the first time since an appeals panel renounced a three-game NFL suspension he received for his role in the Saints’ bounty scandal. The 33year-old Fujita played from 2006-09 for New Orleans. The outspoken Fujita, who has maintained that he never contributed money to a payfor-pain pool, plans to meet with commissioner Roger Goodell to discuss his case. Fujita would not discuss any details of the upcoming meeting, which will probably take place next week, but he believes a resolution is approaching. “I’m always an upbeat, glass-half-full kind of guy,” he said. “I feel good about it. When and where, I don’t know yet. I’ve just got to let the process run its course.” Fujita began serving his suspension last week. He was barred from the Browns’ facility, forcing him to work out

Anna teen shares love of dance BY KATHY LEESE

HAYLEY RICHARD, a 17-year-old Anna High School senior, leads a group of Anna girls through some dance steps as part of the Anna Dance Camp held this summer. Hayley came up with the idea for the camp and has led the camp for the last two years. Courtney Littlefield, Macaulay Counts, Sarah Bruce, Danielle Nolte, Leah Bettinger, Courtney Inman, Allie Hohlbein, Brooke Berning and Kirsten Barger. Hayley said the idea for the camp was based on wanting to give back to her community. “I wanted to be able to share my dancing enthusiasm with my community and to also give back to my community.”

She said she presented her idea to village officials, who supported her idea. “The program nearly doubled in number this year. I went from having 40 or so kids to almost 70 this year. The more the merrier,” the enthusiastic teenager said. “The kids were very fun and entertaining and I believe they really enjoyed the program. Everywhere you looked, the kids were having a

Library programs to begin ANNA — The Anna Community Branch Library has announced plans for its fall story time and reported the summer reading program was successful.

Leaf collection begins soon ANNA — Anna village officials are reminding local residents leaf collection will soon begin. Leaf collections will begin the first week of October and will continue through the second week of December. Village employees will be picking up leaves every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Residents are being asked to rake their leaves to the curb line, and if there is not a curb, they should rake them to the edge of the asphalt. Residents should make sure there are no stones, cans, trash, sticks or other items with the leaves. The leaves are not to be left under, between or around parked cars, and they should not be in the gutters. Residents are reminded there will be no spring leaf collection.

Fall story time will begin Sept. 29 at 2 p.m. for preschool through kindergarten children. There will be songs, stories and games, treats. Those interested in learning more about the full listing of programs for fall should stop at the library for more information. Children of all ages and adults participated in the library’s summer reading program, with activities including family fun nights, water fun days and guest speakers.

blast, laughing and smiling, even in the tremendous heat. I received hundreds of hugs every day from eager dancersin-training, making it all the more better to know the kids were having as much fun as I was,” Hayley noted. The children, who are from 5 years old to fifth grade, each paid $15 for the camp, which paid for the cost of T-shirts, crafts, snacks and game supplies. Hayley noted that the children seemed to really like performing. “The favorite part for the kids was being able to perform on stage. Every day, the kids sprinted to the stage and were so excited to finally be able to put on a real show for the community.” Hayley said dance is an important part of her life and one she likes to share with others. “Dancing gives me a way to express myself. Dancing interprets music visually and I like being able to contribute to how people perceive music.” “With each dance, I get to be a whole new

I could ask for. They took time out of their work schedules to come help with the camp and for that I am so appreciative. My friends are a great bunch that are wonderful with kids and the kids couldn’t get enough of them.” “The most rewarding part of the dance camp is seeing the smiles and the fun the kids are having. These kids put all their energy into the camp and really enjoy being able to show their hard work with their family and friends at the….recital,” Hayley said. Hayley plans to lead the camp again next summer and is unsure what she will do when she heads off to college. She wants to attend Bowling Green State University and major in speech pathology. Not only is Hayley busy giving back to the community, but she is also an Anna High School varsity football and basketball cheerleader and participates in school musicals and the One Act plays. Dancing is something that Hayley said is a gift from God and one that makes her happy. “When I dance, I feel nothing but happiness. Something about stepping onto (a) stage brings out a whole new person inside of me. The adrenaline and the occasional nerves, too, push me to give all of myself in each dance. I never stop smiling on stage, not because I have to, but because dancing is my passion.” “Mostly, I love dancing because I know God has (a) purpose with blessing me with my talent of dancing and I hope each dance I perform shows this,” Hayley said. It’s a gift the Anna teenager enjoys sharing with a lot of little girls and her community.

ANNA — Seventeenyear-old Hayley Richard is not your ordinary teenager. While she could have been enjoying the sun and fun with friends, Hayley decided to give back to the community by sponsoring a dance camp for local children this summer. Hayley, the daughter of David and Sonja Richard, of Anna, directed the dance camp for the second year, and this year, there were 67 enthusiastic children, anxious to learn all that Hayley could teach them about dancing. At the end of the week-long camp, known as the Anna Park Dance Camp, the children gave a dance recital at Anna Community Park, where a large crowd cheered them on, and Hayley was recognized by village officials for her hard work. The teenager made sure the children not only learned dance, but they enjoyed crafts, snacks, games and line dancing. She wasn’t alone in her effort, but recruited the help of friends and family, including her mother, Sonja, Sherry Shoemaker, Olivia Richard,

version of myself and leave people with a different impression of me. I offered this camp to show kids a healthy way to express themselves through dancing. I hope each kid sees the fun and passion behind dancing,” Hayley said. Hayley is going into her 11th year of dance and studies at the New Bremen Dance School. She takes tap dancing, jazz, hip hop, lyrical, ballet and pointe classes under the direction of her instructors Lynda Davis and Joyce Burke. “The recital had perfect weather and great attendance. Families had to park quite a distance (away) because the parking lots were so full. The park itself was full of our community members, which made it that much more rewarding for the kids and myself to see the support of our community. Parents seemed very happy to see their kids having so much fun. I received endless thank you’s and compliments from parents and kids after the recital,” Hayley said. At the recital, the children performed some of the dances they learned during the week. “The dances the kids performed weren’t an exact type of dancing since the camp doesn’t require previous dance experience. They were….dances they had learned and rehearsed all week,” Hayley said. Hayley said her parents are supportive of the dance camp. “My parents are very supportive and helpful with the program. I couldn’t have done it without them. They help me in any way I need assistance….and are very proud of me for giving back (to) my community.” Her friends also support Hayley’s work. “My friends are the best help

Happenings at the Hive

BY AUSTIN ELMORE, SHS SENIOR

The beginning of the 2012 fall sports season at Sidney High School has been fantastic. The football team won their first two games since 2009, and the boys and girls soccer teams have been off to a great start. All of the fall sports include: Football, Volleyball, boys/girls Soccer, boys/girls Cross Country, boys/girls Golf, and girls Tennis. The team that got off to the hottest start, was the boys soccer team led by Tri-Captains Dustin Lorenzo, Jacob Davis, and Blake Steenrod. The Jackets began the season with a draw against one of the best teams in the state, Beavercreek. After that, they headed up north to Hilliard-Davidson to take on the power house Wildcats. They pulled off a shocking upset, 1-0 and began the season 1-0-1. After their upset, the Jackets returned home to take on Wayne, in which they shut out the Warriors, 1-0. To keep it rolling, the Jackets defeated West Carrollton with a 5-0 victory. This put them at 3-0-1 in the year, and the best start in school history. The Jackets have 7 freshman on the varsity roster, to go along with the 9 seniors. The mix of younger and older plays had clearly worked well for the Jackets. They currently stand at 3-2-1 on the year, and they look to keep it going on the 11th against Trotwood, and the 13th against Fairborn. Both games are home, and begin at 7:30pm.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You’re unusually convincing in all your discussions of others today. That’s why this is a strong day for those of you who sell, write, teach or act. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) You might see new ways to earn money today. Others will see new uses or applications for something you already own. (Clever you.) VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) A realistic look in the mirror might help you see how you can improve your appearance today. Why not create a better impression in your world?

couraged the 69-year-old woman who wanted to learn how to swim to do so. Many people, however, don’t have access to a large pool. I would like to share my solution: I have an above-ground pool. I use a bungee cord that’s as long as my height. I attach one end to my swimsuit and the other to the edge of the pool. I put on a face mask, then I start swimming. I don’t go anywhere, and I don’t have to worry about gulping water. It’s great exercise, even in a small pool. — D.K. ANSWER: You deserve a standing ovation for your ingenuity. I like the idea. I believe I have seen college swimmers using a halter device in a way similar to your method. I’m sure many with no access to a pool will be DEAR DR.

When I look back, I remember a mother who held a full-time job, kept a marvelous home, was a great cook and had a wonderful laugh and sensitivity. She didn’t smoke, drink or cheat on Dad.

DEAR MISSING: If you’re truly sorry, it’s time to tell your mother personally and ask her forgiveness. Do whatever it takes to locate her, including hiring a private detective if necessary. It may be expensive, but use some of the money you got from Dear Old Dad.

CAUTION Whether posting or responding to an advertisement, watch out for offers to pay more than the advertised price for the item. Scammers will send a check and ask the seller to wire the excess through Western Union (possibly for courier fees). The scammer's check is fake and eventually bounces and the seller loses the wired amount. While banks and Western Union branches are trained at spotting fake checks, these types of scams are growing increasingly sophisticated and fake checks often aren't caught for weeks. Funds wired through Western Union or MoneyGram are irretrievable and virtually untraceable.
