BY LEE KEATH Associated Press CAIRO (AP) — Fury over an anti-Islam film spread across the Muslim world Friday, with deadly clashes near Western embassies in Tunisia and Sudan, an American fastfood restaurant set ablaze in Lebanon, and international peacekeepers attacked in the Sinai despite an appeal for calm from Egypt’s Islamist president. At least four people — all protesters — were killed and dozens were wounded in the demonstrations in more than

20 countries from the Middle East to Southeast Asia. Most were peaceful but they turned violent in several nations, presenting challenges for the leaders who came to power in the Arab Spring. Security forces worked to rein in the anti-American crowds but appeared to struggle in doing so. Police in Cairo prevented stone-throwing protesters from getting near the U.S. Embassy, firing tear gas and deploying armored vehicles in a fourth day of clashes in the Egyptian capital. One (NYSE:COF) person died there after being shot by rub-

ber bullets. The State Department said U.S. Embassy personnel were reported to be safe in Tunisia, Sudan and Yemen — sites of Friday’s violent demonstrations. President Barack Obama said Washington would “stand fast” against attacks on U.S. embassies around the world. He spoke at a somber ceremony paying tribute to four Americans — including U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens — killed earlier this week when the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, was stormed by militants who may have used

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — A Wisconsin judge on Friday struck down nearly all of the state law championed by Gov. Scott Walker that effectively ended collective bargaining rights for most public workers. Walker’s administration immediately vowed to appeal, while unions, which have vigorously fought the law, declared victory. But what the ruling meant for existing public contracts was murky: Unions claimed the ruling meant they could negotiate again, but Walker could seek to keep the law in effect while the legal drama plays out. The law, Walker’s crowning achievement that made him a national conservative star,

TODAY’S THOUGHT “I think the greatest curse of American society has been the idea of an easy millennialism — that some new drug, or the next election or the latest in social engineering will solve everything.” — Robert Penn Warren, American poet (born 1905, died this date in 1989).

An elite Marine rapid response team arrived in Yemen’s capital of Saana, where local security forces shot live rounds in the air and fired tear gas at a crowd of an estimated 2,000 protesters who were kept about a block away from the U.S. Embassy, which protesters broke into the day before.

took away nearly all collective bargaining rights from most workers and has been in effect for more than a year. Dane County Circuit Judge Juan Colas ruled that the law violates both the state and U.S. Constitution and is null and void. He said the law violated the constitutional rights of free speech and association. The ruling applies to all local public workers affected by the law, including teachers and city and county government employees, but not those who work for the state. They were not a party to the lawsuit, which was brought by a Madison teachers union and a Milwaukee public workers union.

Investigation still ongoing BY KATHY LEESE Shelby County Sheriff ’s Lt. Det. Jim Frye said Friday afternoon that an investigation regarding an alleged rape at Country Concert in Newport on July 7 is still under investigation in spite of a news report indicating the case was closed at the request of the alleged victim. Frye told the Sidney Daily News that an article that appeared in the paper on Sept. 7

was erroneous and that he had not made any statements to the paper regarding the issue for over a month. “I have not spoken to anybody at the newspaper regarding the case (since shortly after the investigation began). I did not make those comments.” Frye stated, “the case is still an active investigation. Based on the lab results from the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation (BCI), there was male DNA on

the clothing of the victim.” “We have submitted other DNA to be compared with the DNA on the victim’s clothing,” Frye said, adding, “the victim in the case is fully cooperating with investigators.” The case remains open. The alleged rape reportedly happened on July 7 around 1:30 a.m., but it was not reported until around 4:30 a.m. The alleged victim is reportedly over the age of 21.

to go backwards and take away the lawmaking responsibilities of the legislature and the governor. We are confident that the state will ultimately prevail in the appeals process.” DepartWisconsin ment of Justice spokeswoman Dana Brueck said DOJ believes the law is constitutional. Lester Pines, an attorney for Madison Teachers Inc., said the ruling means all local governments, including school districts, are now required to bargain with employees covered by unions, just as they did before the law passed. Pines predicted the case would ultimately be resolved by the state Supreme Court.

“What’s going to happen in the interim is unknown,” he said. The proposal was introduced shortly after Walker took office in February last year. It resulted in a firestorm of opposition and led to huge protests at the state Capitol that lasted for weeks. All 14 Democratic state senators fled the state to Illinois for three weeks in an ultimately failed attempt to stop the law’s passage from the Republicancontrolled Legislature. The law required public workers to pay more for their health insurance and pension benefits at the same time it took away their ability to collectively bargain over those issues. Walker ar-

gued the changes were needed to help state and local governments save money at a time Wisconsin faced a $3 billion budget shortfall. “This is a huge victory for Wisconsin workers and a huge victory for free speech,” said Democratic Assembly Minority Leader Peter Barca. “This decision will help re-establish the balance between employees and their employers.” Anger over the law’s passage led to an effort to recall Walker from office. More than 930,000 signatures were collected triggering the June recall election. Walker won and became the first governor in U.S. history to survive a recall.

Sunday’s Farm Tour will provide the opportunity to stop by the Beaver-Bennett Family Farm at 8061 Taylor Road. The 200-acre family farm shared by parents, Gary and Karen Beaver and two siblings with their famillies (Matt and Becky Beaver, and Jim and Missy Bennett) exhibits traditional row crops with nearly 100 acres of native prairie grass and four wetland sites scattered throughout the prairie. Tractor-pulled wagon rides will be provided for attendees to travel through the prairie and see the restored wetland areas. Wagon rides will be narrated by conservationists and assisted by members of the Houston FFA Chapter. In addition to the conservation activities on this farm, family members will be providing sheep shearing demonstrations at 2 p.m. and 5 p.m. in the main barn. Meghan Bennett, 201112 Ohio Lamb and Wool Queen, will be on hand to serve samples of lamb and distribute information about the lamb and wool industry. Young people will be able to touch and feel and learn about what the daily requirements are to raise club lambs for a 4-H project. Mike Egbert of Mikes Barn and Yard Connection is sponsoring the lamb tasting samples and will also be providing livestock and pet nutrition information to the guests. Other activities in the barn will include a nature craft and bean bag toss conducted by Lynda Adams of the Shelby Soil and Water Conservation District. Youngsters will

1.8M Ohio public pensioners to see changes COLUMBUS (AP) — Big changes are ahead for nearly 1.8 million workers, retirees and family members covered by Ohio’s five public pension funds. State lawmakers cleared a package of bills this week aimed at shoring up the systems’ finances and keeping them solvent. The result is adjustments to benefits, premiums and eligibility requirements, including in some cases the age and service levels at which participants will be eligible to retire. Allowances for cost-ofliving fluctuations and the way the salary average for determining benefits is calculated are among other areas where legislation makes adjustments. Here’s a look at some of the basic changes to the rules and what those will mean for participants. Ohio Police & Fire Pension Fund Q: Will my contribution rate go up? A: Yes. The current rate of 10 percent will rise in July in each of the next three years, to 10.75 percent, 11.5 percent, then 12.25 percent. Q: Will my age of retirement change? A: Requirements for normal retirement remain the same for current active members, which is at age 48 with 25 years of service. The new law would affect members hired after July 1, 2013. At that point, the requirement is age 52 with 25 years of service. Reduced benefits would still be available at age 48 with 25 years of service. Q: How will benefit payments change? A: The cost of living adjustments on pension benefits will change. The amount of the adjustment will change when active members with less than 15 years of service as of July 1, 2013, retire. Instead of 3 percent of their base pension amount, it will be the lesser of 3 percent or the Consumer Price Index. For current retirees and active members with 15 years or more of service, the adjustment remains 3 per-

cent. Also, cost-of-living adjustments for all members will be delayed until age 55, except for survivors and those who receive permanent and total disability benefits. Q: Will there be changes to how my benefits are calculated? A: Yes. For those with less than 15 years of service on July 2, 2013, the average annual salary on which benefits are based will come from the average of the highest five years rather than the average of the highest three. School Employees Retirement System Q: Will my contribution rate go up? A: No. Q: Will my age of retirement change? A: Eligibility requirements don’t change for those who have 25 years of service on or before Aug. 1, 2017. For everyone else who retires after Aug. 1, 2017, eligibility for full benefits changes to age 67 with 10 years or age 57 with 30 years. Eligibility for early retirement changes to age 62 with 10 years or age 60 with 25 years. Q: How will benefit payments change? A: Early retirees will receive reduced benefits. For those with 25 or more years of service, minimum guarantees are in place. Q: Will there be changes to the way my benefit level is determined? A: No. State Teachers Retirement System Q: Will my contribution rate go up? A: Yes. The current rate of 10 percent will rise to 11 percent on July 1; to 12 percent on July 1, 2014; to 13 percent on July 1, 2015; and to 14 percent on July 1, 2016. Q: Will my age of retirement change? A: Eligibility remains the same for those who are 65 or older with five years of service. The years of service required to retire earlier than that will rise from the current 30 years beginning Aug. 1, 2015, to 31 years until Aug. 1, 2017; to 32 years until Aug. 1, 2019; to 33 years until Aug. 1, 2021; to 34 years until Aug. 1, 2023; to 35 years until Aug. 1, 2026. From then on, 35 years

of service and age 60 will be required to receive full benefits. A similar phase-in will take place for reduced benefits. Q: How will benefit payments change? A: There will be no change for those who retire before Aug. 1, 2015, or meet current eligibility requirements before July 1, 2015. All others will receive 2.2 percent of their final average salary for each year of service, including years above 30 that yield more under the current system. Cost-of-living adjustments will be frozen for current retirees for one year in July, and resume at a lower rate. Those retiring Aug. 1 or later will see adjustments deferred for five years. Q: Are there changes to the way my benefit level will be determined? A: Yes. After Aug. 1, 2015, the salary average used to calculate benefits will be based on your five highest years of compensation rather than your highest three. Public Employees Retirement System Q: Will my contribution rate go up? A: The bill leaves it up to the retirement system’s board of directors to decide whether contribution rates go up. It states that those retiring within five years can’t see an increase of more than 5 percent. Q: Will my age of retirement change? A: Members set to retire within five years of the bill’s effective date will see no changes. Members who have 20 years of experience and less than 10 years until retirement will see service requirements increase: up from the current 30 years of service to 32 for all ages and 31 years at age 52. Five years’ credit will earn full retirement at age 66 now, rather than age 65, for that group. All other members can retire with full benefits at 55 with 32 years of service credit, or at 67 with 5 years’ service credit. Different rules apply for law enforcement, where 48 will remain the mini-

mum retirement age for those retiring in the next five years, with age 50 or age 52 becoming the new minimum for other groups. Q: How will benefit payments change? A: Those set to retire within the next five to 10 years will see no changes. Others will receive 2.2 percent of their final average salary for each year of service up to 35, rather than the current 30, before the higher percentage of 2.5 percent kicks in. Public safety employees will see no change in benefits. Q: How is health care coverage affected? A: The bill eliminates automatic eligibility for health care coverage after 10 years of service, and leaves terms up to the PERS board. Q: Are there changes to the way my benefit level will be determined? A: For those eligible to retire within the next 10 years, no. For others, the salary average on which benefits are calculated will be based on the highest five years of salaries rather than the highest three. State Highway Patrol Retirement System Q: Will my contributions rise? A: It’s likely. The bill gives the retirement system’s board the authority to raise rates from 10 percent of a member’s salary to 14 percent. Q: Will my benefits change? A: No. Q: Will my age of retirement change? A: No. Q: Will the way my benefits are calculated change? A: Yes. Beginning Jan. 1, 2015, the salary average on which benefits are calculated will be based on the highest five years of salaries rather than the highest three. ————— Online: O P & F P F : http://www.op-f.org; P E R S : http://www.opers.org; STRS: http://www.strsoh.org; SERS: h t t p : / / o h s e r s. o r g ; O H P R S : http://www.ohprs.org

They say the defendants cut off Amish men’s beards and women’s hair because the hair carries spiritual significance in their faith. Defense attorneys acknowledge that the haircuttings took place but contend that prosecutors are overreaching by calling them hate crimes.

marching on the U.S. Consulate to protest the film. Demonstrators threw bottles and stones at police, who responded by firing stun grenades. Four protesters were arrested. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton had tried to pre-empt the violence a day earlier by saying the rage and violence aimed at American diplomatic missions was prompted by “an awful Internet video that we had nothing to do with.” Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi went on national TV and appealed to Muslims not to attack embassies. It was his first public move to restrain protesters after days of near silence and appeared aimed at easing tensions with the United States. But the demonstrators came out after weekly Friday prayers. Many clerics in their mosque sermons urged congregations to defend their faith, denouncing the obscure movie “Innocence of Muslims” that was produced in the United States that denigrated the Prophet Muhammad. In addition to countries where protests have occurred, U.S. emaround the bassies world, including in France and Austria, issued alerts Friday advising Americans to review their personal security measures and warning

ISLAMIC SUPPORTERS burn a US flag outside the US Embassy in London during a protest against the US made anti-Muslim film purportedly denigrating the Prophet Mohammad, Friday. them that demonstrations may occur and may turn violent. Other embassies issuing alerts included Mauritania and India. More than 50 U.S. embassies and consulates had released similar alerts Thursday. Several thousand people battled with Tunisian security forces outside the U.S. Embassy in Tunis. Protesters rained stones on police firing tear gas and shooting into the air. Some protesters scaled the embassy wall and stood on top of it, planting the Islamist flag that has become a symbol of the wave of protests: A

black banner with the Islamic profession of faith, “There is no god but Allah and Muhammad is his prophet.” Police chased them off the wall and took the flag down. Two protesters were killed and 29 people were wounded, including police. Protesters also set fire to the American School adjacent to the embassy compound and prevented firefighters from approaching it. State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said the school in Tunis was badly damaged and is now “unusable.” The heaviest violence

came in Khartoum, Sudan, where a prominent sheik on state radio urged protesters to march on the German Embassy to protest alleged anti-Muslim graffiti on mosques in Berlin and then to the U.S. Embassy to protest the film. “America has long been an enemy to Islam and to Sudan,” Sheik Mohammed Jizouly said. On Friday night, a U.S. official said an elite Marine rapid response team was headed to Sudan. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because the deployment was not made public.

PIQUA — The Upper Valley Career Center Board of Education learned that students will be able to use new laptop computers and heard an update on construction at the school during its recent meeting. Superintendent Nancy Luce reviewed a new laptop program with board members and told them the One-toOne laptop program will allow each new junior attending the UVCC to have a new Lenovo laptop computer. The students will keep the laptops during their two years at the UVCC. Next year, UVCC juniors will also receive new laptops, so that at that time, all students will be able to have laptops for their education at the UVCC. The laptops are made available through what Luce described as “weighted dollars” from the state of Ohio. Luce explained that weighted dollars “are provided by the state of Ohio for equipment needed in career and technical programs.” The laptops will be each student’s responsibility. Pat Gibson, director of business operations at the UVCC, updated the board on construction. The school is in the final stages of a $25.7 million dollar Ohio Schools Facilities Commission (OSFC) renovation project. The UVCC was completely renovated during the project, including the roof, walls, flooring, life safety, electrical system, HVACR system, technology infrastructure, lighting, plumbing, parking lots and landscaping. All furnishings were replaced. The construction began in May 2011. All inspections for the renovation have been completed.

The board approved an Adult Division application fee of $75 that went into effect Sept. 1. The fee is for those students enrolling in a career-development class. The amount will be reduced to $50 if the application is made two weeks prior to the first day of class. Board members approved a shared-services agreement with Edison Community College. The UVCC will be working with Edison to provide training to area businesses and industries. The UVCC and Edison College Community have jointly hired a director of outreach, according to Luce. That individual was hired so that the UVCC and Edison can provide “more efficient and effective services and classes and make better use of our staff, facilities (and) equipment.” The new director of outreach is Joe Girolamo. The board approved three donations: a Perkins diesel engine from Kevin Sams of Hanson Pipe and Precast in Sidney; enamel spray paint, including various colors and types of paint, from Tractor Supply Co. in Troy; and a 1993 Freightliner semitruck cab from the University of Northwestern Ohio. The board approved a purchase order to Snap On Tools for $64,000. The tools will be used by students in the Auto Collision program. Weighted dollars are being used for 25 percent of the purchase and 75 percent is being paid through patronage dollars, which is money paid for customer service work done by UVCC students. The board approved a purchase order for Gordon Food Service

NATION/WORLD TODAY IN HISTORY BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Today is Saturday, Sept. 15, the 259th day of 2012. There are 107 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Sept. 15, 1887, the city of Philadelphia launched a three-day celebration of the 100th anniversary of the Constitution of the United States. On this date: ■ In 1776, British forces occupied New York City during the American Revolution. ■ In 1789, the U.S. Department of Foreign Affairs was renamed the Department of State. ■ In 1857, William Howard Taft — who served as President of the United States and as U.S. chief justice — was born in Cincinnati, Ohio. ■ In 1862, Confederate forces captured Harpers Ferry during the Civil War. ■ In 1935, the Nuremberg Laws deprived GerJews of their man citizenship. ■ In 1940, during the World War II Battle of Britain, the tide turned as the Royal Air Force inheavy losses flicted against the Luftwaffe. ■ In 1942, during World War II, the aircraft carrier USS Wasp was torpedoed by a Japanese submarine; the U.S. Navy ended up sinking the badly damaged aircraft carrier. ■ In 1950, during the Korean conflict, United Nations forces landed at Incheon in the south and began their drive toward Seoul (sohl). ■ In 1954, as raucous fans looked on, Marilyn Monroe filmed the famous billowing-skirt scene for “The Seven Year Itch” over a Lexington Ave. subway grate in Manhattan (however, little, if any, of the footage ended up in the movie; the scene was later reshot on a Hollywood set). ■ In 1963, four black girls were killed when a bomb went off during Sunday services at the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, Ala. (Three Ku Klux Klansmen were eventually convicted for their roles in the blast.) ■ In 1972, a federal grand jury in Washington indicted seven men in connection with the Watergate break-in. ■ In 1982, Iran’s former foreign minister, Sadegh Ghotbzadeh (sah-DEK’ goht-BZAH’-deh), was executed after he was convicted of plotting against the government.

OUT OF THE BLUE

He’s fully committed OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Talk about the old ball and chain. A judge sentenced an Oklahoma man to four years in federal prison on a firearm charge — then minutes later performed a marriage ceremony to wed the new inmate and his longtime girlfriend. Thursday was a busy day for Larry Austin and Dustie Trojack. First they obtained their marriage license, then Austin pleaded guilty to the firearm charge and was sentenced by Oklahoma County Judge Jerry Bass. Shortly afterward, Bass married the happy couple who kissed before federal authorities whisked Austin away. Austin’s attorney, Scott M. Anderson, tells The Oklahoman that Austin had helped to raise Trojack’s two sons and he didn’t want to lose contact with them while he was serving time.

Obama honors Libya attack victims BY JIM KUHNHENN Associated Press ANDREWS AIR FORCE BASE, Md. (AP) — Four Americans killed in an attack on a U.S. consulate in Libya returned home Friday, their remains each carried in a slow procession by six Marines as a military band filled a vast air base hangar with the mournful hymn “Nearer My God to Thee.” President Barack Obama led the ceremony, recalling their lives in deeply personal terms and declaring the United States will never pull back on its principles or “retreat from the world.” “Their sacrifice will never be forgotten,” Obama said as four flag-draped cases rested near him. He had come to witness the return of those slain in the assault on the American diplomatic mission, including the U.S. ambassador, Chris Stevens. In the heat of a presidential election year, the scene was a gripping reminder of the danger facing Americans in diplomatic and military service every day, and of the turmoil in an incendiary region of the world that continues to test Obama’s leadership. Always in the background, campaign politics gave way to a sense of sheer loss. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton’s voice broke as she spoke before the president, and she appeared to be fighting tears as she listened to him. In addition to Stevens, the ceremony also honored three other Americans killed in Benghazi — Sean Smith, an Air Force veteran who worked

Doherty, a former Navy SEAL who worked for a private security firm and was protecting the consulate in Benghazi; and Tyrone S. Woods, also a former Navy SEAL who had served protective duty in various U.S. posts. “They knew the danger, and they accepted it,” Obama said. “They didn’t simply embrace the American ideal. They lived it.” The ceremony recalled one 14 years ago, when President Bill Clinton led a ceremony at Andrews for the return of remains of 10 Americans killed in a bombing in Nairobi. The presidential election, however, did not recede for the day. Less than two hours after the ceremony, Obama took his motorcade on an unscheduled

trip to the Democratic Party headquarters to hold political meetings. In the evening, he planned to attend a previously arranged fundraiser in Washington. The transfer of remains came three days after an attack on the consulate, one of a series of assaults on U.S. outposts in Muslim countries that U.S. officials blame on an anti-Muslim video made in the United States. Clinton said the rage and violence aimed at American missions was prompted by “an awful Internet video that we had nothing to do with.” The president met privately with family members of the fallen before stepping into a cavernous hangar at this base he knows well, home to Air Force One. Emerging from a C-17 cargo plane, six

Marines each carried the cases on top of stands before four waiting hearses, as a color guard led the somber procession. When the funeral hymn stopped, a deep silence took over, interrupted only by the quiet steps of the Marines. Clinton and Obama both spoke of how the four men lived their lives — and how their mission would go on. “This work, and the men and women who risk their lives to do it, are at the heart of what makes America great and good,” Clinton said. “So we will wipe away our tears, stiffen our spines, and face the future undaunted.” Said Obama: “The United States of America will never retreat from the world. We will never stop working for the dignity and freedom that every person deserves.”

Topless pics spark palace fury Egan-Jones BY GREGORY KATZ Associated Press LONDON (AP) — Paparazzi, French media and a British royal: The publication of topless photos of Prince William’s wife Kate has reunited the same players whose clash ended with the untimely death of his mother, Princess Diana, in a Parisian car crash. William, who has long harbored a grudge against the paparazzi who chased Diana in the days and hours leading up to her 1997 death, was clearly infuriated. The royal couple hit back with an immediate lawsuit against the popular French gossip magazine Closer, which

is owned by former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi’s Mondadori publishing empire. The blurry photos, called a “grotesque” abuse of privacy by royal officials, show Kate — the Duchess of Cambridge — wearing only a skimpy bikini bottom. They are the first to show Britain’s likely future queen with her bosom exposed. St. James’s Palace officials sharply criticized the magazine moments after the photos hit French newsstands, comparing the intrusion on the young couple’s privacy to the tragic paparazzi pursuit of Diana, which many believe was a contributing factor in her early death on

Aug. 31, 1997. The parallels between the past and the present were eerie. Diana was hounded by paparazzi who took telephoto shots of her vacationing on a yacht with her boyfriend Dodi and tailed them relentlessly in Paris. Earlier this month, a photographer with a similar long lens captured Kate and William relaxing in the sun at a private estate in Provence, a vacation spot near the French Riviera. Instead of challenging the authenticity of the blurry photos, palace officials said they appear genuine — and should never have been taken, much less published.

Eruption turns to tourist draw BY ROMINA RUIZ-GOIRIENA Associated Press ANTIGUA, Guatemala (AP) — A terrifying eruption of one of the world’s most active volcanoes tapered off Friday into a draw for delighted tourists, who snapped photos from a neighboring colonial city and made plans to take night hikes to see glowing rivers of lava. Villagers were returning to their homes on the flanks of the Volcano of Fire as it wound down its largest eruption in nearly four decades, spewing smaller amounts of ash and lava. Guatemalan authorities reduced the alert level from the highest, red, to orange around the Volcan del Fuego, or Volcano of Fire, and said Thursday’s ferocious lava flow was now two smaller, 3,000-foot streams. Tourists walking the cobblestone streets of the colonial city of Antigua, about six miles from the volcano, said they were making plans to take guided trips to the mountain to see the lava, and guide companies said they were getting dozens of calls for tours. Celina Huang, a 25-year-old Spanish student, was taking photos of the volcano, which looms over the Baroque churches and brightly colored arches of Antigua. “This fire and red light is something I’ve never seen before,” she said. “In my country, Taiwan, there are volcanoes but they’re dormant. This is the first time I’ve seen an eruption.” Nilton Dasilva, a church group leader from Northfield, Illinois, said he decided to take a detour during a group trip to a nearby coffee plantation and try to get as close as safely possible to the volcano. “Now that we know it erupted, we’re going to try to stop on the way and maybe take some pictures,” Dasilva said. Emergency workers reported that many villagers living around the slopes of the volcano had begun returning home. The Red Cross of Guatemala was winding down operations, coordinator Sergio de Leon said.

THE VOLCAN de Fuego or Volcano of Fire releases a puff of volcanic ash as seen from Antigua Guatemala, Friday. The volcano spewed rivers of bright orange lava down its flanks on Thursday. Authorities ordered more than 33,000 people from nearby communities evacuated. Guatemalan authorities ordered the evacuation of more than 33,000 of the 62,000 people living immediately around the volcano, many in isolated indigenous villages. De Leon said many people had moved to the homes of friends or relatives a little farther away from the volcano. Local media reported about 5,000 had evacuated, while emergency officials said the figure may have been much lower.

cuts US debt rating to AAfrom AA NEW YORK (AP) — EganJones, an independent creditresearch firm, downgraded its rating on U.S. government debt to AA- from AA on Friday, citing the Federal Reserve’s plans to try to stimulate the economy. The credit rating agency said the Fed’s plans to buy mortgage bonds will likely hurt the economy more than help it. The plan will weaken the value of the dollar and push up prices for oil and other commodities, Egan-Jones said. That would leave less for consumers to spend on other things. But at the same time, Egan-Jones warned that the federal government’s borrowing costs are likely to slowly rise as the global economy recovers. On Thursday, the Fed said it would buy $40 billion of mortgage bonds a month to help the economic recovery. It’s the second time the Haverford, Pa. shop has downgraded U.S. government debt in five months. In April, EganJones lowered its rating on the U.S. to AA from AA+. It stripped the U.S. of a top AAA rating in July 2011. Sean Egan, the company’s founder, has long railed against the power of the three major rating agencies, Moody’s Investors Service, Standard & Poor’s (NYSE:MHP) and Fitch Ratings. Egan-Jones Rating Co. is one of 10 firms the Securities and Exchange Commission recognizes as a rating organization. Earlier this week, Moody’s said it would likely lower its “Aaa” rating on U.S. government debt if budget negotiations fail. Standard & Poor’s stripped the government of its “AAA” rating on its bonds in August 2011. Fitch Ratings issued a warning of a potential downgrade.

Council reviews Skipping school is tax rates, amounts serious mistake JACKSON CENTER — Current tax levies will generate $86,314 for the village, village officials reported at the recent Jackson Center Village Council meeting. Council heard the second reading of a resolution accepting the amounts and rates as determined by the Budget Commission and authorizing the necessary tax levies and certifying them to the county auditor, according to meeting minutes. This resolution is to certify to the Shelby County Auditor the amounts and rates for the current levies in place for the village. The levies are estimated by the auditor to generate $86,314 in 2013 revenue for the village. This estimate is based off of 2011 valuations and will be updated by the auditor when the 2012 valuations are received. The first levy is a 2mill, nonvoted levy, which is estimated to generate $43,192 for the village. The second levy is a voted 2-mill levy that will expire Dec. 31, 2013. That levy is estimated to generate $43,122 for the village. This revenue is posted to the general fund and is used for current expenses

ODOT District 7 begins left-turn signal makeover The Ohio Department of Transportation, District 7, has begun the process of switching protected-only left-turn signals due to changes in federal regulations. Motorists in the ninecounty district will soon notice a red arrow in place of a solid red circle. The installation process has recently started in District 7. Previously, as motorists approached a designated left-turn lane, the signal transitioned from a green arrow to a yellow arrow, and then to a solid red circle. The new signal will transition from a green arrow to a yellow arrow and then to a red arrow. Drivers cannot turn on red arrows. Installation of the new red arrows will take place statewide as older versions are scheduled for routine replacement

at a cost of about $26 per signal. The change is part of the 2009 Federal Highway Manual Uniform of Traffic Control Devices, which requires â&#x20AC;&#x153;proleft-turn tected-onlyâ&#x20AC;? signals to have red arrows replace all circular red indicators. The purpose of the change is to enhance uniformity and eliminate â&#x20AC;&#x153;left-turn signalâ&#x20AC;? signs. ODOT began installing the red arrows on April 12 as part of its annual systematic signal improvement program.

Goodwill, E-B team up Local biz owners

Brown supports protections for call center workers DAYTON — With more than 167,000 call center jobs in Ohio, U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown, DOH, joined call center workers in Dayton recently to outline new legislation he is supporting that could help keep jobs in the U.S. by requiring companies to notify consumers that their calls are being transferred abroad. “Most Ohioans that have had to call a major company for a service repair or to get an answer about their cable bill have ended up speaking with a worker in a different time zone, on a different continent,” Brown said. “When companies send call center jobs overseas, they don’t just

frustrate consumers — they hurt our economy as well. With thousands of Ohioans looking for work, it just doesn’t make sense to ship these jobs overseas. By requiring companies to disclose when their calls are being transferred abroad, businesses could be encouraged to keep their call centers jobs here in the United States. “This bill will also stop giving American tax dollars to big businesses that ship call center jobs overseas. Why should we hand over federal grants or loans to companies that hand over American jobs to other countries?” Brown continued. “We should reward American

workers and American companies that remain loyal to creating jobs in our communities.” Brown was joined by two AT&T call center workers, Pete Houvouras, secretary and treasurer of the Communications Workers of America (CWA) and Tomeka Cooley-Pettus, a member of CWA to discuss how this legislation could make it less likely that businesses would outsource their call center jobs overseas, as well as give consumers important information about the companies they patronize. According to a CWA analysis of 2010 U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) data, Ohio has at least 167,480 call center jobs. Specifically, the United States Call Center Worker and Consumer Protection Act of 2012 would: • Require companies to disclose to callers when their calls are transferred abroad; • Make businesses that move call center jobs overseas ineligible for federal grants or loans; • Direct the Department of Labor to make a public list of such com-

Sidney Daily News, Saturday, September 15, 2012

Ohio deer impacted by common deer disease AKRON — State wildlife and animal health officials have confirmed localized outbreaks of a common white-tailed deer disease in eight Ohio counties Ashtabula, including Columbiana, Geauga, Holmes, Paulding, Portage, Ross and Summit. Ohio Department of Agriculture's Animal Disease Diagnostic Laboratory confirmed that of the 20 samples, 13 deer had epizootic hemorrhagic disease (EHD). State animal health officials stress EHD occurs annually in deer herds across North America. A similar hemorrhagic disease called blue-

tongue has been known to occur throughout the States and United Canada, but should not be confused with EHD. There are no cases of bluetongue disease confirmed in Ohio. White-tailed deer contract EHD from the biting midges, which typically live near water. White-tailed deer, along with mule deer, elk, sheep and bighorn pronghorn antelope are susceptible to the disease. The disease is not spread from deer to deer or from deer to humans. Once infected, deer show symptoms within five to 10 days. Infected deer initially lose appetite

and fear of man, grow progressively weaker, often salivate excessively and become unconscious. Many deer die within 36 hours of the onset of symptoms. can also Midges spread EHD among cattle and sheep. These outbreaks may occur at the same time deer are being impacted. However, this is not a case of the disease spreading from deer to livestock or vice versa, but is an indication that the biting midges are present in large enough numbers to spread the disease. State wildlife officials stress to those planning to hunt impacted areas this fall that although

this disease does not affect humans nor impact the safety of consumed deer, hunters should report deer that appear to be sick or diseased to their local wildlife officer. Deer that appear unhealthy should never be taken for human food. According to the University of Georgia's annual Southeastern Cooperative Wildlife Disease Study, EHD is the most common ailment affecting deer in the Eastern United States. The disease is common in portions of the northern Great Plains and the southeastern United States, and was first identified in 1955 in New Jersey.

Inland Lakes and Rivers CENTRAL OHIO Kiser Lake (Champaign County) — This 394 acre lake in Champaign County is perfect for a quiet day on the water since no motors are allowed, gas or electric. The lake has a good population on largemouth bass, try plastics, top water baits and crankbaits along the lily pads or cover on the north side to the lake. Crappies will become more active as the water cools this fall, fish with minnows in the old creek channel or around woody cover. Bluegills are also being taken around aquatic vegetation and cover using wax worms and red worms. NORTHWEST OHIO Maumee River (Defiance County) — Walleye, crappie, and smallmouth have been biting below the Independence Dam. The dam can be accessed Independence from Dam State Park, off of State Route 424. Try using beetle spins (white or chartreuse), or inline spinners. Most of the walleye being caught are around 18 inches in length. SOUTHWEST OHIO Acton Lake (Preble County) — Channel catfish are biting on creek chubs or night crawlers fished along the bottom or between eight to 19-feet deep during the late evening or early morning hours. Fishing for channel catfish is productive anywhere in the lake. Bluegills are being caught by anglers using wax worms or night as bait. crawlers Bluegill fishing is bountiful along the banks. Saugeye are ac-

tive in this lake. Currently, saugeye are being caught by anglers using night crawlers, bass minnows, or jigs as bait. Fish the bait by trolling it through in water that is eight to 10-feet deep. Lake Eastwood ( M o n t g o m e r y County) —Night fishing is very productive for anglers seeking channel catfish in this Dayton Five Rivers Metro Park. Use shrimp, chicken livers, and night crawlers fished along the bottom. Note that night fishing is currently allowed from 10 p.m. to 2 a.m. on Friday and Saturday nights through the end of September. Anglers should visit Dayton's Five Rivers Metro Park web site at http://www.metroparks. org/GetOutside/Fishing.aspx or call (937) 275-PARK for more information on fishing opportunities. Lake Erie Western Basin Walleye fishing has slowed and there have been fewer reports over the past week. The best fishing was still from West Sister Island to Rattlesnake Island. Trollers have been using divers with spoons, or crankbaits off of planer boards. Yellow perch fishing has been good, with the best spots being the turnaround buoy of the Toledo shipping channel, N and E of the Toledo water intake, West Sister Island, N of "B" can of the Camp Perry firing range, W of Green and Rattlesnake Islands, E of Kelleys Island, and E of Kelleys Island shoal. Perch spreaders with shiners fished near the bottom produce the most fish.

Shelby County Bassmasters NOTICE hold fishing derby for ‘Littles’ PUBLIC CITY OF SIDNEY

FORT LORAMIE — A group of Big Brothers Big Sisters Volunteers and assigned Littles recently enjoyed a beautiful day at the home of Mike Meyer of Fort Loramie, where they attended a fishing derby hosted by the Shelby County Bassmasters. Around 50 Volunteers and Littles attended the annual event, which was last Saturday. The outing included a cookout for all Bassmaster members, their children, and the BBBS Volunteers and their Littles. The fishing event concluded with an award ceremony for the top fisherman in several age categories. Although the children were not able to take home the loot of fish caught during the days’ activities, they were treated to their very own rod and reel. Shelby County Bassmasters were able to put on this event as a result of local fisherman participating in bass tournaments throughout the year with a modest portion of the entry fee going toward the purchase of individual poles for each child. Other sponsors included Kiwanis Club, ODONR, Freedom Outdoors Marina,

Mully’s Drive Thru, Davis Meats, Rural Sanitation and Meyers Garage in Newport. Lisa Brown, Executive Director for Big Brothers Big Sisters stated, “The Shelby County Bassmasters should be commended for this wonderful activity. The children who

participate in this outing truly look forward to it each year, and it exposes them to a new hobby that they might not otherwise get to partake in.” Brown stated, “This outing ties in nicely with our mentoring program. For many of the kids we serve, getting them outdoors and fishing is a

great way to get them away from the television or video games.” Group activities are part of the mentoring program for children from at-risk homes. Presently, the Shelby & Darke County agency has 106 matches with a list of over 40 children yet in need of an adult volunteer. Volunteers are required to see the children two times per month, offering support and fun, educational activities. It should be noted that match activities can be scheduled around a volunteer’s calendar, and offer a fantastic way to have a positive impact on youth in our community. Big Brothers Big Sisters of Shelby & Darke County is a non-profit, United Way member agency. It is always seeking additional volunteers.

Lack of rain may impact duck hunting DELAWARE, Ohio — Due to a marina construction project, coupled with the drier than normal conditions this year, duck hunting opportunities at Delaware Wildlife Area and Delaware State Park

may be diminished this fall and winter, according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR). To facilitate boat ramp repairs at the Delaware marina, Delaware Reservoir will

begin its annual winter drawdown on Sept. 10 instead of the normal Oct. 1 date. Additionally, the lake is being drawn down more than normal in order to relieve stresses placed on the drinking water system

by these drier than normal conditions. Due to low lake levels, Delaware Wildlife Area will be unable to pump water from Delaware Reservoir to fill their marshes for early duck season.

Redskins dominate Cavs Open NWCC play with 35-0 victory FORT LORAMIE â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Fort Loramie had just 86 yards in offense in the first half, yet took a 21-0 lead into the locker room at the intermission Friday in Northwest Central Conference football against county rival Lehman. The Cavaliers werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t able to overcome the deficit in the second half, and the Redskins notched their third win in a row, 35-0. Loramie is now 1-0 in the NWCC and 3-1 overall. Lehman drops to 0-1 and 1-3. Lehman hosts Riverside Friday at Sidney and Loramie hosts Waynesfield, both in league play. Fort Loramie took advantage of costly Lehman penalties and a crucial fumble to build up the big halftime lead. After Lehman struggled on offense on the opening possession, Fort Loramie took over in its own territory and the two teams traded punches like heavyweight fighters. And had it not been for a costly facemask penalty, the Cavs would have held the Redskins, who wound up scoring for an early 7-0 lead. Loramie had to convert on two third down plays and a fourth down play to keep the drive alive. The Redskins were driving when Delaunte Thornton lost the handle on the ball, and Lehman recovered. But instead, the Cavaliers were called for a 15-yard personal foul penalty that put the ball at the Cavalier 17. The Lehman defense held, however, forcing a 4th-and-13, but Loramie quarterback Seth Guillozet scrambled on a pass play for 14 yards down to the six to keep the drive going.

FORT LORAMIEâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S Seth Guillozet tries to avoid Lehmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kristopher Lee on this run Friday night in high school football action at Fort Loramie. Thornton then covered the final six yards for a 7-0 lead. Fort Loramieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first drive of the second quarter stalled, but Guillozet took center stage with a booming punt down to the Lehman 3-yard line. After the defense held,

Lehman had to punt from its own endzone, and Guillozet gathered it in at the 42 and returned it for a score and a 14-0 lead. A costly turnover allowed the Redskins to put up one more score with just 12 ticks

remaining in the first half. Lehman quarterback Nick Rourke was blindsided when he dropped back to pass and Loramie recovered the fumble at the Lehman 25. See REDSKINS/Page 14

Panthers rough up Jackets 49-0 Sidney fell to unbeaten Springboro 49-0 Friday night at Sidney Memorial Stadium to even their record at 2-2 on the season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We knew they were a good team coming in,â&#x20AC;? said Sidney coach Adam Doenges. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We told our kids that they would be facing a playoff-caliber football team this week, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exactly what we saw. They do everything very well.â&#x20AC;? Springboro didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wait long to strike. They took the opening kickoff and went 57 yards in two plays. After a 31-yard run by Rahman Hardin, quarterback Alex Ward found Jake Johnson for a 26-yard touchdown pass with 11:24 left in the first quarter. Sidney took the ball into Springboro territory on a 39yard pass from Jordan Fox to Jalen Herd. However, the

Jackets turned the ball over on downs. The ensuing drive for the Panthers featured several runs by Harding and Kyle Longworth. Longworth finally punched it in from four yards out for a 14-0 lead. The second quarter featured two touchdowns from the Panthers. The first was about midway through the quarter when Rahman Hardin ran it in from 13 yards out. Then, with 4:18 remaining in the first half, Ward and Johnson hooked up for another touchdown pass and catch. This one was from 16 yards out and gave the Panthers a 28-0 halftime lead. The Panthers would add three third quarter touchdowns to make the final score SDN Photo/Todd B. Acker 49-0.

Marlins’ rookie baffles Reds MIAMI (AP) — The Cincinnati Reds’ push toward the playoffs was slowed Friday by a lastplace team and a rookie who earned his first National League victory. Jacob Turner allowed only two hits in a careerhigh seven innings to help the Miami Marlins beat the NL Central leaders 4-0. Turner (1-2) outpitched Bronson Arroyo (12-8), who gave up four runs in six innings. The Reds became the

final NL team to make their debut at Marlins Park, and they couldn't muster much offense in the spacious ballpark. Steve Cishek pitched the ninth to complete a three-hitter, and Cincinnati was shut out for only the third time, fewest in the NL. Turner’s 10th career start was his best yet. He walked two, struck out three, lowered his ERA to 3.75 and helped the Marlins break a three-game losing streak.

REDSKINS Guillozet ran to the goal line on first down, but Lehman stiffened, turning Thornton back on the next two plays. But on third and goal from just inside the 5, Thornton got the ball again and ran in for a 21-0 lead at the half. Loramie added a pair of touchdowns in the third quarter when Guillozet hit Jason Streib on a slant pass on fourth down from 22 yards out. Then late in the period, Guillozet hit Craig Fullenkamp on a long touchdown pass of 57 yards over the middle for a 35-0 bulge after three periods. Meanwhile, the Loramie defense was dominating. Lehman had negative yardage in the third quarter until a fake punt went for 10 yards and a first down. In the end, the Cavs

had just 78 yards in total offense and only 40 on the ground. “Our defense played great,” said Loramie coach Matt Burgbacher. “They bent a little bit in ANNA’S STEWART Watkins reaches over a teamthe first half but didn’t mate and grabs for Versailles ball carrier Jacob break.

Heirloom bulbs for sale by historical society

SDN Photo/Luke Gronneberg

Catching dreams Wanda Barhorst, of Minster, discovers a dream catcher she didn’t have to think twice about buying at the Native American gathering held recently at the Shelby County Fairgrounds. For photo reprints, visit www.sidneydailynews.com

WAPAKONETA — The Auglaize County Historical Society has organized its fourth annual Heirloom Bulb Sale. The historical society is offering 12 varieties of bulbs, all of which are interesting older varieties rarely seen in garden centers. The bulbs were introduced to the gardening world as late as 1925, but as early as 1594. “We call this our ‘History in the Garden’ project,” said Historical Society administrator Rachel Barber. “It’s just another way that the Historical Society is seeking to create an interest in history to different segments of the community. We’ve been very pleased with the quality of bulbs provided by the supplier, and know that residents will be happy they sup-

ported the Society by purchasing the bulbs.” Residents who don’t have gardens also have the option of becoming “Garden Angels” and purchasing bulbs for use by one of the county’s many local gardening clubs. Those who buy 10 bulbs of any one kind get an 11th of the same variety for free. The deadline for ordering is Sept. 30. Order forms are available from the Historical Society by calling (419) 738-9328 or by emailing auglaizecountyhistory@bright.net. The varieties offered for “History in the Garden” in 2011 are: • Tulip Bleu Aimable. • Tulip Couleur Cardinal. Tulip Mount • Tacoma. • Tulip Saxatilis. • Narcissus Cragford.

• Narcissus Obvallaris. • Narcissus Yellow Cheerfulness. • Narcissus Thalia. • Allium sphaerocephalon. • Camassia Quamash. • Crocus Tommasinianus Roseus. • Leucojum aestivum. The Auglaize County Historical Society was founded in 1963.

Springer joins ODNR staff CELINA — The Ohio Department of Natural Resources’ (ODNR) Division of Soil and Water Resources hired Frances Springer of Wapakoneta to serve as the nutrient management specialist for the Grand Lake St. Marys (GLSM) watershed. She started Monday. The Division of Soil and Water Resources is responsible for overseeing the implementation of the Distressed Watershed Rules for the Grand Lake St. Marys watershed. Springer will be responsible for working with agricultural producers, landowners and residents throughout the watershed to address the nutrient challenges in and around Grand

Lake St. Marys. Springer graduated from Ohio Dominican University with a bachelor’s degree in business administration. She has worked as the manure nutrient management specialist and education coordinator for the Auglaize Soil and Water Conservation District for the past 11 years. Springer’s experience working with the farmers and residents of Auglaize County will allow her to continue state and local efforts to protect and improve Grand Lake St. Marys. Since Springer will be specifically focused on the GLSM watershed, she will be based out of the Mercer Soil and Water Conservation District.

Ready for school The New Knoxville Historical Society’s August open house featured early transportation. Displays ranged from wicker baby buggies, horse-drawn hearse, two Percheron horses, eight antique cars from Dayton, a Victor original 48-inch bicycle, a 1885 Gormully original 32-inch bicycle, a whizzer bicycle, to a model train display with information of the Dutch Run Nickel Plate railroad. Of great interest to Katie, Cullen and Emily Dimmick was the 1930 AA Ford restored school bus with a Wayne body owned by William and Carol Prenger, of Minster.

Staying safe on the farm Sidney Daily News, Saturday, September 15, 2012

Page 2B

Keep an eye out for safety The Shelby County Farm Bureau wants all county residents to have a safe fall season. Each year during the harvest season it is important that precautions on our rural highways are taken to prevent accidents. This is the season when farm machinery and other vehicles use the same two-lane highways and also is the season when collisions between farm equipment and other vehicles occur

more frequently. These collisions are often the result of the speed differential between farm equipment and cars and trucks. In addition, farmers are using the rural roads frequently by exiting and entering with large equipment, and utilizing berms for temporary parking. On any rural highway, the closure distance and time between vehicles operating at 55 miles per hour and a farm tractor pulling grain wagons operating at 15 miles per hour can be very short. Many investigations of these incidents

have shown that the driver did not allow distance between their vehicle and the farm equipment in order to react quickly enough to avoid the collision. There are several important ways in which these incidents can be avoided. Slow-moving vehicle (SMV) emblems should be prominently displayed on the back of tractors, wagons and combines using rural highways. They should not be faded or dirty and need to be placed in the line of the sight of vehicle operators. Most farm tractors and combines are equipped with lighting and mark-

ings that will make the equipment more visible. It should be used whenever the equipment is on the highway and must be maintained in good working condition in order to be effective. In addition, please make sure that equipment is parked in fields or drives whenever possible to reduce congestion. For everyone’s safety, vehicle operators should be especially wary of farm equipment that they could encounter at any time. Lower natural light conditions, especially at dusk, are critical times on rural highways. When encountering farm equip-

ment, vehicle operators should be prepared to stop to avoid a rear-end collision or to avoid a piece of machinery that turns left in front of them into a field or farmstead. With a little extra patience by both, the farmer

and the community, careful driving habits, and the use of emergency marking and lighting, many of the collisions between farm machinery and vehicles could be prevented during this fall’s corn and soybean harvest.

Youth safety: Tractors are tools, not toys (ARA) — The warm summer months into the fall harvest season are some of the most beautiful times on the farm. Crops are in full-swing, fruit is abundant and families often make annual trips to local farms and festivals during this time. Whether you live on a farm or plan to visit one this season, now is the perfect time to remind children about important safety tips for working and playing around equipment. Each year more than 15,000 children who visit, live or work on farms or ranches are injured and more than 100 children die of agriculture-related injuries in the United States alone, according to the Progressive Agriculture Foundation. With staggering statistics like these, it’s time to make a change by developing a “safety first” attitude for the entire family. “It’s always a good time to talk safety,” says Greg Embury, vice president of sales and marketing for Kubota Tractor Corp. “We encourage parents to regularly sit down with children of all ages and remind them to be extremely

careful around any type of equipment — tractors, lawn and garden equipment and utility vehicles are tools and not toys.” To help parents start the safety conversation with their children, Kubota is offering farm safety tips and getting kids directly involved through its Farm Safety Coloring Contest. Now through Oct. 1, families of children 12 and younger can download a page from the “Ten Commandments of Tractor Safety” coloring book and color and send it in for a chance to win prizes. Visit Kubota.com and click on the Safety tab to find out how you and your family can learn more about farm safety while showing off your creative skills. Kubota offers the following tips to help equipment owners and operators start the safety conversation with kids: • Stop, look and listen when playing outside, especially on the farm, and always be aware of your surroundings. • Farm equipment is not safe for children to ride on even when an adult is present. • Tractors are not toys. They

are powerful machines only to be used by adults who are thoroughly familiar with the equipment. • Children should never ride a tractor. Just say “no” if someone wants to give you a ride. It is not safe to be a rider when the tractor is intended for one operator. • Stay out of the path of all moving equipment. And, stand far away from a tractor when it is being started, when it is running and especially when it is working. • Never stand behind a tractor - whether it is running or not - the operator might not see you and you could get hurt. • Be a “safety first sheriff” and encourage use of seatbelts for your entire family. Just like in a car, a tractor is equipped with a seatbelt for safety. Additionally, a Roll Over Protective Structure (ROPS) on a tractor is in place to protect the driver/operator.

HOROSCOPE BY FRANCES DRAKE For Sunday, Sept. 16, 2012 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Be extra patient with partners and close friends today, because little blowups are highly likely! (Always remember that patience is the antidote to anger.) TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Your work scene possibly could be interrupted today by computer crashes, staff shortages, canceled meetings and equipment breakdowns. Fasten your seat belt. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) This is an accident-prone day for your kids, so be extra vigilant. It’s also a very touchy day with romantic partners; be tolerant and easygoing. (Tomorrow is a lovely day.) CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Unexpected company might drop by your home today. Small appliances could break down, or minor breakages could occur. Yikes! Run away! Run away! (But do stock the fridge.) LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Do be careful, because this is an accident-prone day for your sign. Be mindful of everything you say and do. Slow down and take it easy in order to reduce stress and distractions. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Keep an eye on your money and your possessions today. Protect yourself against loss or theft. However, keep your eyes open, because you might find money or you might lose it. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) You feel explosive, potentially angry and nervous today. Fortunately, this is a short-lived situation. Just grin and bear it, and don’t take it out on others. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) You have that feeling that you’re waiting for something to happen. You might feel a bit tense. This is just a brief dark cloud passing on your horizon. (It’ll be gone by tomorrow.) SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) A blowup might occur with a friend today, or you could be at odds with someone in a group. Don’t speak up. Let this moment pass. Tomorrow is a far better day for discussions with others. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Don’t be rebellious with authority figures today (because you will be tempted to do so). And don’t quit your day job. Cool your jets and maintain the status quo. Tomorrow is the day to ask for permission or approval. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Travel plans will be interrupted, changed or canceled today. Similar changes will affect education, publishing and the media. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) If you are responsible for the property of someone else, be careful today. There could be damage or loss of something. YOU BORN TODAY Many of you master a particular technique that you use in life. You have enormous spirit, which gives you the courage to follow your dreams and fantasies. You’re also very brave, and you can be blunt. You are born with a zest for life! You’re bighearted and always honest. In the year ahead, an important choice will arise. Choose wisely.

ANSWER: Atrial fib- restores adequate blood rillation is near the top pumping, but the stroke of the list when it comes threat remains. That’s

the reason for putting people on the anticoagulant Coumadin. Catheter radiofrequency ablation is an attractive choice for restoration of a normal heartbeat. A thin, flexible tube — a catheter — is inserted into a groin blood vessel and carefully advanced to the heart’s left atrium, where the irregular beat originates. The catheter is equipped to emit highfrequency current that ablates tissue responsible for fibrillation. “Ablation” means “destruction.” One ablation treatment restores a normal beat 80 percent of the time. You fell into the 20 percent group. A second attempt achieves success 90 percent of the

time. With those odds, I would jump at the chance of a second go with ablation. The odds are greatly in your favor. If a normal beat is restored, you can stop taking medicines, with their potential for side effects. You also can stop taking the anticoagulant, since the stroke threat will have gone.

Hope me out to eat all the time. springs eternal in the He constantly buys me breast, and you are only presents and helps my human. daughter out with money When a man tells you when things get tight. he wants you to be free

and to do whatever you want to do, what he really means is he wants to be free to do whatever HE wants to do. As much as Gavin cares for you, it’s not enough for him to make a lifetime commitment. So, if being married is your goal, recognize that this honest, but reluctant Prince Charming is not for you. DEAR ABBY: My 24year-old daughter, “Lisa,” informed me a year ago that she was engaged. She’s a college graduate living in another state and still looking for a job. Her fiance is a young Marine who plans to make it a career. Lisa was visiting this weekend and gave us the wedding date, which is in three months. She already has her invitations and bridesmaids picked out,etc. As she was leaving, she broke down and said she had “something to tell me.” They were married six months ago. She still wants to continue with her “wedding” plans, and

have me walk her down the aisle. My wife and I are extremely hurt and angry for having been lied to all this time. My question is, should I go along with this charade? Any other wisdom to impart? — LISA’S DISAPPOINTED DAD DEAR DAD: At least your daughter told you in advance. I have heard from parents who didn’t learn the truth until months or years after the “wedding.” Feeling as you do, calmly convey your thoughts to your daughter as you have done so clearly in your letter. As to any “other wisdom” I would offer: As a low-ranking member of the military, Lisa’s husband isn’t going to make a lot of money until he climbs the promotional ladder. Their money would be better invested in other ways than the wedding of her dreams. They can reaffirm their vows later, in a way that is open, honest and less expensive.

September 15, 1912 Russell Secretary and Treasurer Burress, of the Shelby County Fair Board, have not yet prepared a financial statement of the fair, but state that receipts were greatly in excess of any previous fair. The receipts for privilege alone were over $300 more than in former years. ————— The yeggmen who attempted to blow the safe at Dawson early Saturday morning are still at large. The police are of the opinion that the job was done by a bunch of fairground hangers-on who were here for the fair last week. Several clues have been followed up, but as yet no arrests have been made. Federal post office inspectors arrived in Sidney over the weekend to assist local officers in the investigation. ————— From reliable information collected by The News, we are able to state that there are over 100 students from Sidney and Shelby county who are attending college and other institutions of higher learning. This is certainly a very commendable record and shows a high standard of intelligence among our people. —————

75 Years September 15, 1937 Large numbers of people were pouring into the Shelby County Fair this morning and afternoon and it was expected that a new attendance record would be set before the day was over. Music for the fair will be furnished by the Sidney city band on all three remaining days, the band playing in the grandstand between heats of the races. The Shelby County All Girls Band will give a special performance tomorrow. ————— Byron C. Joslin and his daughter, Mrs. W.D. Stockstill, have returned home attending the National Encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic held last week in Madison, Wisc. Mrs. Stockstill was the representative to the national convention of the Daughters of Union Veterans. —————

ter of Mrs. And Mrs. John C. Jelley, R.R. 6, Sidney, who is secretary, and her sister, Carolyn, who is treasurer. Kathleen was Angus Queen at this year’s Ohio State Fair. ————— ST. PATRICK — The Most Rev. Karl J. Alter, of the diocese of Cincinnati will celebrate the centenary mass at 11 a.m. Tuesday at St. Patrick Church. The service marks the 100th anniversary of the church established Sept. 18, 1862, by Rev. Patrick Hanneberry C.PP.S. The first church, built of logs was torn down Oct. 1, 1874, to make way for a new frame church built while Rev. William Sidley, pastor of Holy Angels, Sidney, administered the parish, then a mission. —————

25 Years September 15, 1987 WASHINGTON (AP) — The nation’s trade deficit widened in July for the fourth month in a row, reaching a record $16.5 billion as imports rose and exports fell, the government reported Friday. ————— SANTA MONICA, Calif. (AP) — Lorne Greene, who as Ben Cartwright on ”Bonanza” became a worldwide image of firm but gentle fatherhood, died Friday of complications from surgery, his secretary said. He was 72. ————— RUSSIA — Russia was one of the communities across the country which benefited from the “alphabet soup” programs instituted in the 1930s by President Franklin Roosevelt in an effort to bring the nation out of the depths of the Great Depression. In fact, Russia residents this year are marking the 50th anniversary of the opening of Russia High School built through the Public Works Administration (PWA). ————— These news items from past issues of the Sidney Daily News are compiled by the Shelby County Historical Society (498-1653) as a public service to the community.
