BY KEN THOMAS The Associated Press SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — President Barack Obama declared Tuesday night the occupant of the Oval Office must “work for everyone, not just for some,” jabbing back at Mitt Romney’s jarring statement that as a candidate, he doesn’t worry about the 47 percent of the country that pays no income taxes.
Romney neither disavowed nor apologized for his remarks, which included an observation that nearly half of the country believe they are victims and entitled to a range of government support. Instead, Romney cast his comment as evidence of a fundamental difference with Obama over the economy, adding the federal government should not “take from See CAMPAIGN/Page 5A

VIETNAM WAR veterans and one World War II veteran are ready to "raise a little cane" this weekend when they travel to Washington, D.C., to visit the memorials built in their honor. The canes were made by members of the Shelby County Woodcarvers and presented to each veteran. This is the eighth trip which has taken WWII, Korean and now Vietnam War veterans to D.C. The trips have been sponsored by Shelby County Veterans to Washington, D.C.
Vietnam War veterans ready for trip to D.C. BY MELANIE SPEICHER mspeicher@sdnccg.com The road to Washington, D.C., was involved a winding and dangerous path through a little known country — Vietnam. On Friday, 35 Vietnam War veterans will be honored for their service to the United States as they leave Shelby County to go to the nation’s capitol to visit the “Wall” built in their honor.
Accompanying them will be one World War II veteran, along with caregivers and volunteers as the eighth, and possibly final trip, of the Shelby County Veterans to Washington, D.C. departs from the Shelby County Fairgrounds at 8 a.m. A send-off ceremony will begin at 7:30 a.m. at the EMA building. But before their departure, the veterans met Monday night at the Sidney Veterans
of Foreign Wars for a send-off dinner to learn more about the upcoming weekend’s activities. “We have taken 320-plus veterans on this trip,” said Mike Bennett, chairman of the local committee. “We could be folding up our tents after this trip. “We are running out of money and we are running out of veterans to take on the trip. See VETERANS/Page 12A
The roar of motorcycles will signal the departure of more than 35 Vietnam War veterans and one World War II veteran Friday morning when the group leaves the Shelby County Fairgrounds en route to Washington, D.C. Organizers with the Shelby County Veterans to Washington, D.C. group hope to see more than 100 motorcycles leading the caravan from the fairgrounds to Interstate 75. This trip, instead of going from the fairgrounds directly to I-75 on Fair Road, the group will be making a longer trip through Sidney so more people can acknowledge and thank the veterans. After a send-off ceremony set to begin at 7:30 a.m. at the EMA building by the fairgrounds, the group will leave at 8 a.m. They will leave the fairgrounds on Fair Road and travel to Fourth Avenue, which is also known as Veterans Memorial Drive. They will turn onto Fourth Avenue and travel to Michigan Street (Ohio 47). The motorcade of motorcycles, motor coaches and chase vehicles will turn onto Michigan Street and then turn onto I-75. The motorcycles will lead the group until Tipp City, when they will return to Shelby County and the buses loaded with veterans, caregivers and volunteers will continue on their way to D.C.
Reading guaranteed for third-graders BY KATHY LEESE Sidney City Schools Board of Education members learned about the ThirdGrade Reading Guarantee, heard updates on storm damage and approved the Power School system during their meeting Monday evening. Curriculum Director Virginia McClain told board members that under the Third-Grade Reading Guarantee (TGRG), students who “don’t reach certain objec-
tives” in reading will be required to repeat the third grade. During a Power Point presentation, board members were told that during the 2011-12 school year, 19 students or approximately 6.7 percent of Sidney City Schools third-graders would have been held back in the third grade under the program. Under the time line for TGRG, by Sept. 30 of this year, students in grades kindergarten through third grade will be
tested to determine who is not reading “on track.” Those students will then begin receiving intervention to improve their skills. Between Nov. 8 and 13, parents will be notified that their child is not on track in reading. “We don’t want any parent not to know” what is going on with their child, McClain said. Board member Bill Ankney expressed concern about the delay in letting parents know about problems instead of letting them know right away.
“We don’t want to create a sense of panic,” McClain said. She said parents will learn about the problem after parent-teacher conferences. Ankney questioned if parents won’t be concerned about not being notified in September. “I … want to make sure the parents aren’t getting a bomb dropped on them in November” when they should have known their child was having problems in September, he said.

PUBLIC RECORD SOURCES executive director placed on unpaid leave the counties).” Niemeyer would not comment on the nature of the investigation. He said a board member has been given authority to serve as a liaison between the agency and the board and to sign documents, but declined to name the appointed board member. Farrell says she was never told by board members what allegations or issues they were investigating. She said she has been hurt by how the situation was handled and that her biggest concern is the operation of the agency and the people it serves. She said she believes the board may be looking into allegations contained in what she called a retaliation letter sent the board by an upset former employee who resigned. SOURCES provides residents with housing and utility services, home weatherization and rehabilitation, transportation and assistance with various emergency needs. Directors determine personnel, organization, fiscal and program policies and all proposed programs and budgets.

After the meeting, Bryan Niemeyer, an attorney retained by the board, released the following statement: “Certain issues regarding the management of SOURCES were brought to the attention of the board of directors such that the board felt it was in the best interest of the organization to place Debra Farrell on an indefinite administrative leave pending the outcome of an independent investigation.

Commission recommends replat be approved The Sidney Planning Commission Monday night recommended Sidney City Council approve a replat request for a single family residence at 402 Kossuth St. The request, by surveyor Larry Bill on behalf of owner Nathan Breinich, would combine two lots to create one new lot. Barbara Dulworth, Community Services director, told commissioners the proposed new lot is 16,465.68 square feet
and includes a 10-foot utility easement on its east side property line. “The proposed lot meets the minimum square foot, street frontage and depth to width requirements of the subdivision’s regulations,” she said. “The front setback along East Avenue does not meet the minimum 25-foot requirement, but the nonconformity is not an issue in this case.” Commissioners commended approval of the replat as submitted.

Attorney: Ohio man to plead guilty
NEWS BRIEFS
Off-duty officer killed WEST JEFFERSON (AP) — Authorities say an off-duty police officer has died after the vehicle she was driving collided head-on with an ambulance in central Ohio. The State Highway Patrol says 53-year-old Marcia Frederick of the Columbus Police Department was pronounced dead Tuesday at the scene of the crash in Madison County. Troopers were called to the crash on state Route 142 shortly before 2:30 p.m. They say Frederick’s southbound black SUV had traveled left of the center line, striking a northbound Jefferson Township Medic Squad vehicle. The two medics in the ambulance were injured and taken to a hospital. Two people inside the ambulance who were being transported for treatment were also taken to a hospital. Additional details on their injuries and conditions weren’t immediately available. The patrol says it’s investigating the crash.
Browning to lead dance CINCINNATI (AP) — Former Cincinnati Reds pitcher Tom Browning will get a chance to perfect his chicken dance moves. The city has tapped Browning as grand marshal of its annual Oktoberfest-Zinzinnati, which means leading a mass chicken dance this Saturday on Fountain Square downtown. The weekend festival celebrates Cincinnati’s German heritage, and tens of thousands of people usually take part.
Cremated remains found DAYTON (AP) — More than 50 boxes of cremated human remains have been found at a house in southwest Ohio along with documents from a funeral home, police said Tuesday. The 56 plastic boxes are used by funeral homes as temporary containers for cremated remains, said Dayton police Lt. Wendy Stiver. She said a contractor called police Tuesday after finding the boxes stacked in a closet. “He said the house is in foreclosure and he was hired to remove remaining items from the house,” Stiver told The Associated Press. Stiver said police notified the Montgomery County coroner’s office, which collected the remains. Documents from the McLin Funeral Home in Dayton also were found in the house, she said.

AN AMISH man leaves the U.S. Federal courthouse Tuesday in Cleveland. Jurors have wrapped up a third day of deliberations without reaching a verdict in the trial of 16 people accused of hate crimes in hair- and beard-cutting attacks against their fellow Amish in Ohio.
No verdict yet CLEVELAND (AP) — Jurors have wrapped up a third day of deliberations without reaching a verdict in the trial of 16 people accused of hate crimes in hair- and beard-cutting attacks against their fellow Amish in Ohio. Deliberations recessed Tuesday afternoon and resume Wednesday morning in U.S. District Court in Cleveland. The members of a breakaway Amish settlement are accused of hate
crimes in what federal prosecutors say were attacks motivated by religious differences. 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. All the defendants could face lengthy prison terms if convicted.
PITTSBURGH (AP) — An Ohio man will plead guilty to sending anonymous YouTube threats in which he claimed to have hacked into the University of Pittsburgh’s computer system on the heels of a series of unrelated disruptive bomb threats, his attorney told The Associated Press. Brett Hudson will admit he’s guilty “and he’s going to get on with his life,” defense attorney Warner Mariani said. Hudson, 26, of Hillsboro, Ohio, is scheduled to enter the plea Oct. 17 in federal court. He and Alexander Waterland, 24, of Loveland, Ohio, were indicted in August on a charge of conspiring to commit interstate extortion using a computer. The FBI says the men claimed to be members of the hacking group Anonymous who had obtained confidential computer information on students and faculty. Waterland has pleaded not guilty and
his attorney didn’t immediately return a call Tuesday. Online court records indicate he still plans to contest the charge at trial. Neither man is charged in connection with the bomb threats — which were first scrawled on men’s room stalls and later emailed to the school or local media outlets — in the weeks before the hacker threats surfaced in late April. “We are anonymous! We are Legion!” said one email threat which purported to have some of the stolen information attached to it. “We are your brothers & sisters! We are the students and faculty of Pitt! We are your worst nightmare! The internet is here! You Will now Expect US!” The Ohio men both worked as computer technicians for Express Scripts, an online prescription drug company in Mason, Ohio, when the hacking threats were made. Mariani said both have lost their jobs.
Police investigate death MARION — Chancelor Robert Ashford, 13, formerly of Sidney, died Saturday, Sept. 15, 2012 at his home in Marion of a suspected self-inflicted injury. The Marion Police department on Tuesday declined to release information on the inci-
dent, saying the case is still under active investigation. A department spokesperson said officers are still awaiting results of gunpowder residue tests among other issues of the case. A full obituary appears on Page 3A of today’s Daily News.

NATION/WORLD TODAY IN HISTORY BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Today is Wednesday, Sept. 19, the 263rd day of 2012. There are 103 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Sept. 19, 1982, the smiley emoticon was invented as Carnegie Mellon University professor Scott E. Fahlman proposed punctuating humorously intended computer messages by employing a colon followed by a hyphen and a parenthesis as a horizontal “smiley face.” :-) On this date: ■ In 1777, the first Battle of Saratoga was fought during the Revolutionary War; although the British forces succeeded in driving out the American troops, the Americans prevailed in a second battle the following month. ■ In 1796, President Washington’s George farewell address was published. ■ In 1881, the 20th president of the United States, James A. Garfield, died 2 months after being shot by Charles Guiteau; Chester Alan Arthur became president. ■ In 1934, Bruno Hauptmann was arrested in New York and charged with the kidnap-murder of Charles A. Lindbergh Jr. ■ In 1945, Nazi radio William propagandist Joyce, known as “Lord Haw-Haw,” was convicted of treason and sentenced to death by a British court. ■ In 1957, the United States conducted its first contained underground nuclear test, code-named “Rainier,” in the Nevada desert. ■ In 1959, Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev, visiting Los Angeles, reacted angrily upon being told that, for security reasons, he wouldn’t get to visit Disneyland. ■ In 1960, Cuban leader Fidel Castro, in New York to visit the United Nations, angrily checked out of the Shelburne Hotel in a dispute with the management; Castro ended up staying at the Hotel Theresa in Harlem. ■ In 1961, Barney and Betty Hill, a New Hampshire couple driving home from vacation, experienced what they later claimed under hypnosis was a short-term abduction by extraterrestrials. ■ In 1962, the Western TV series “The Virginian” debuted on NBC. ■ In 1970, the situation comedy “The Mary Tyler Moore Show” debuted on CBS-TV. ■ In 1985, the Mexico City area was struck by a devastating earthquake that killed at least 9,500 people.

Actress’ car towed BURBANK, Calif. (AP) — Amanda Bynes had another run-in with the law when she was pulled over for driving on a suspended license by a Southern California airport. Burbank’s Bob Hope Airport officials say airport police cited the actress and impounded her car Sunday. Bynes’ driving privileges were suspended after she was charged with hit-and-run in connection with two traffic crashes. The Los Angeles City attorney’s office accused Bynes of leaving the scene of two accidents, one on April 10 and another on Aug. 4, without providing proper information. The first incident occurred just days after Bynes was arrested on suspicion of drunken driving.

Group: Militants: Afghanistan attack is revenge for film More than KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — Islamic militants sought Tuesday to capitalize on anger over an anti-Islam video that was produced in the United States, saying a suicide bombing that killed 12 people in Afghanistan was revenge for the film and calling for attacks on U.S. diplomats and facilities in North Africa. The attempt by extremists across the region to harness Muslim fury over a film that denigrates the Prophet Muhammad posed new concern for the United States, whose embassies and consulates have been targeted, and in some cases breached, during riots and protests over the past week. At the same time, Western leaders welcomed statements by Middle East governments that condemned the violence against diplomatic facilities on their soil, even as they expressed anger over the video. Some of those governments replaced autocratic regimes in popular uprisings that swept the region, allowing for greater leniency toward protest. At least 28 people have died in violence linked to the film in seven countries, including U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans killed in a Sept. 11 attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya.
The toll also includes 12 protesters killed in riots over the film last week. Some officials in Libya have said the attack on the consulate was planned in advance by militants. However, the White House said Tuesday the assault appeared to have been sparked by anger over the film, though the investigation continues. The crisis has become a major foreign policy challenge for Washington in the final weeks of a presidential election campaign that has largely focused on economic challenges. The uproar over the video, “Innocence of Muslims,” which was made by an Egyptian-born American citizen and posted on YouTube, reflects seemingly intractable tension between Western principles of free speech and Islamic beliefs that brook no insult directed at the prophet. The crisis offered fresh impetus for Islamic militants who have long plotted and carried out attacks on Western targets. Tuesday’s attack in Kabul, the Afghan capital, was carried out by a suicide bomber who rammed a car packed with explosives into a mini-bus carrying foreign aviation workers to the airport.

REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTIAL candidate and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney shows his grandchildren his campaign charter plane in Salt Lake City, Tuesday. Pictured are (l-r): Owen, 5, Gracie, 9, Wyatt, 7, Nash, 3, and Sawyer, 1.
CAMPAIGN some to give to the others.” As the rivals sparred with seven weeks remaining in a close race for the White House, two GOP Senate candidates publicly disavowed Romney’s remarks and Republican officials openly debated the impact that a series of controversies would have on the party’s prospects of winning the presidency. Top Republicans in Congress declined through aides to offer their reaction to Romney’s remarks — just as they generally refrained from commenting a week ago when he issued a statement that inaccurately accused the Obama administration of giving comfort to demonstrators after they breached the U.S. Embassy in Cairo. The most recent controversy in a campaign filled with them was ignited by the emergence of a videotape, made last May, in which Romney told
donors at a fundraiser that 47 percent of Americans pay no income taxes. They “believe the government has a responsibility to care for them … believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to you name it. That that’s an entitlement.” He said, “I’ll never convince them they should take personal responsibility and care for their lives.” In a next-day interview on Fox, the network of choice for conservatives, Romney said he didn’t intend to write off any part of a deeply divided electorate, including seniors who are among those who often pay no taxes. Instead, he repeatedly sought to reframe his remarks as a philosophical difference of opinion between himself and Obama. “I’m not going to get” votes from Americans who believe government’s job is to redistribute wealth,” he said,
From Page 1 adding that was something Obama believes in. He also said he wants to be president so he can help hardpressed Americans find work and earn enough so they become income taxpayers. Romney didn’t say so, but the U.S. income tax is designed to be progressive, so those who earn the most theoretically pay the most. Through programs as diverse as Social Security, Medicare, health care and food stamps, the government collects tax revenue and pays it out in the form of benefits for those who qualify. Obama responded during an appearance on the David Letterman show. “One thing I’ve learned as president is that you represent the entire country,” he said. As for Romney’s statement about the 47 percent, he said, “There are not a lot of people out there who think they are victims” or simply entitled.
VIDEO YouTube every few days for keywords like “Romney” and “Republicans.” But on this day in August, one clip jumped out. There was Romney, in an undisclosed location, bluntly discussing a visit to a Chinese factory with substandard conditions. “The hidden camera video — it was all blurred out at the beginning, and it was mysterious,” Carter said. “It piqued my interest.” Something told him there might be more there than the brief clip posted on the YouTube channel “Anne Onymous.” Although not affiliated with any campaign or super PAC, Carter had made it a personal mission to help get Democrats elected in 2012 — and to do his part to push back against Romney’s relentless campaign-trail mockery of his grandfather. So Carter, 35, of Atlanta, set out track down the source of the video. He sent a message to the YouTube user seeking
half in 39 states will be obese NEW YORK (AP) — We Americans already know how fat we are. Can it get much worse? Apparently, yes, according to an advocacy group that predicts that by 2030 more than half the people in the vast majority of states will be obese. Mississippi is expected to retain its crown as the fattest state in the nation for at least two more decades. The report predicts 67 percent of that state’s adults will be obese by 2030; that would be an astounding increase from Mississippi’s current 35 percent obesity rate. The new projections were released Tuesday by Trust for America’s Health with funding from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. Trust for America’s Health regularly reports on obesity to raise awareness, mostly relying on government figures. The group’s dismal forecast goes beyond the 42 percent national obesity level that federal health officials project by 2030. The group predicts every state would have rates above 44 percent by that time, although it didn’t calculate an overall national average. About two-thirds of Americans are overweight now. That includes those who are obese, a group that accounts for about 36 percent. Obesity rates have been holding steady in recent years. Obesity is defined as having a body-mass index of 30 or more, a measure of weight for height. Trust for America’s Health officials said their projections are based in part on state-bystate surveys by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention from 1999 through 2010. The phone surveys ask residents to self-report their height and weight; people aren’t always so accurate about that. The researchers then looked at other national data tracking residents’ weight and measurements and made adjustments for how much people in each state might fudge the truth about their weight. They also tried to apply recent trends in obesity rates, along with other factors, to make the predictions. Officials with Trust for America’s Health said they believe their projections are reasonable. And New York City’s health commissioner agreed. “If we don’t do anything, I think that’s a fair prediction,” said Dr. Thomas Farley whose city banned just supersize sugary drinks to curb obesity.
From Page 1 details. No luck. But then, after sharing links to the video on Twitter, Carter realized he had a new follower with the same name as the YouTube account. He quickly shot off a direct message. “They were wary at first,” Carter said in an interview with The Associated Press. “But they did respond.” What followed was a delicate, concerted effort to convince the source — still unknown to the public — that Carter could be trusted, and that the world had to see the rest of what was surreptitiously recorded as Romney spoke in May to donors who had paid $50,000 a person to attend the private fundraiser. In a string of Internet conversations, Carter showed the source evidence that he had helped David Corn, a journalist with the magazine Mother Jones, report a story about Global-Tech Appliances Inc., a Chinese firm that Romney’s Bain Capital briefly invested
in. Both Carter and the source suspected it was that firm’s factory that Romney was speaking about in the video. “That gave me credibility,” Carter said. “They opened up to me a little bit.” Soon after, Carter persuaded the source to trust Corn with the full video — on the condition that he keep the source’s identity a secret. Corn ran with it, using clues in the video to triangulate when and where it had been recorded. Then on Monday and Tuesday, Corn posted the clips to his magazine’s website, sparking a firestorm for the Romney campaign over remarks claiming that nearly half of Americans “believe they are victims” deserving government help and that the Palestinians have no interest in peace with Israel. “James: This is extraordinary. Congratulations! Papa,” the former president told his grandson Tuesday morning in an email obtained by the AP.
For Carter, whose Twitter profile notes he’s looking for work, his success in unearthing the video was followed by a string of job offers Tuesday, from the Ohio Democratic Party to online news sites like The Huffington Post and ThinkProgress. But the coup de grace for Carter is the irony that Romney has spent many months assailing the elder Carter’s record on everything from foreign affairs to small business policy, hoping to saddle the incumbent president with the less popular vestiges of his Democratic predecessor. “I’ve gotten a lot of Twitter messages from people supporting me and saying that it’s poetic justice that it was a Carter that uncovered this, considering the way that the Romney campaign has been talking about my grandfather,” Carter said. “I agree with that sentiment wholeheartedly.”

LETTER
TO THE EDITOR
True friend remembered To the editor: I just lost a good friend, Mr. Frank Lunsford, of Sidney. A true friend is somebody who, no matter the time of day or the circumstances of your need, comes when you call. I am disabled and used my four-wheeled cart when helping a local church clear an overgrown woods behind our houses. When I would get my cart stuck in the mud or hung up in a briar patch and couldn’t get free, I would call Frank. When he answered the phone, I would say, “Is this Lunsford’s Towing Service?” He would say, “What did you get into now?” We both would laugh and he would come get me out of my dilemma. During our usual phone calls, when he answered, I would say, “Is this Mr. Cummins?” and he would say, “No, this is Goings.” That was us, Cummins and Goings. Frank was awarded the Silver Star for bravery during the Battle of the Bulge in World War II. I never asked and he never revealed the circumstances of the event that led to that award. He was proud to have served under, as he called him, “Georgie Patton.” He did tell me that the German people seemed to be far happier and thankful about their liberation than the French. That always puzzled him. My baby sister, who was the Bumblebee mascot in high school, told me that all the kids referred to Frank as “Smoothie.” This was because of his easygoing and joyful manner as he interacted with the kids after serving as the color guard at many high school events. Frank’s heart gave out, but the spirit of his inner heart will always be remembered by those who knew him. He was my true friend. Larry Grieshop 3408 Thompson-Schiff Road

living adjustment (COLA) increase for seniors in more than two years, I still believe it’s less than it should be. The COLA increase is based on a formula that calculates the cost of living for a younger, working adult. To fix the COLA, I introduced the Consumer Price Index for Elderly Consumers Act, which would change the calculation to the Consumer Price Index for the Elderly (CPI-E). This legislation would make a commonsense change to account for older, retired adults with typically higher health care costs.
Medicare We also need to protect and strengthen Medicare. And that means saying “no” to turning Medicare over to the insurance industry through private vouchers. Our seniors deserve the Medicare they paid into, not the plan passed by the House of Representatives that would end Medicare as we know it for future retirees and replace it with underfunded vouchers that would force seniors to purchase health insurance from the private insurance industry. Instead of dismantling Medicare, there are commonsense steps we can take to reduce costs. We can lower costs for seniors — and for the government — by giving the Secretary of Health and Human Services the
ability to negotiate bulk prescription drug discounts for seniors, just like the Veterans Affairs Department does for veterans. We can allow for the safe reimportations of prescription drugs from countries with rigorous safety standards such as Canada and Australia. These represent steps that would reduce Medicare costs while strengthening the program.
See benefits Thankfully, Ohio seniors are beginning to see the benefits of health care innovation. Thanks to the Affordable Care Act, more than 1.2 million Ohio seniors on Medicare received free preventive services such as annual wellness exams and cancer screenings last year. And Ohio seniors who have reached the so-called “doughnut hole” — the cost range in which their private prescription drug plans no longer provide coverage — have seen their prescription drug costs cut in half — saving more than $164 million for Ohio seniors. But while this is a step in the right direction, there’s much more that needs to be done. We have to do a better job of making sure seniors have the resources needed to live with health and dignity. Seniors have worked too hard for too long to have their country turn their backs on them.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Landscape not for sale Beware of ‘images’ To the editor: For the past year, Mainstream Renewable Power has been seeking land leases from landowners in northern Shelby County, in hopes of constructing 100-150 industrial-size wind turbines. Mainstream has a working relationship with Goldwind USA, a subsidiary of China’s second largest turbine manufacturer. These turbines approach 500 feet in height. For comparison, only five buildings in downtown Columbus are taller. The blades are approximately 150 feet long, weigh 70,000 pounds, and spin upward of 200 mph. While some positives exist, particularly potential revenue generated for local communities, in-depth analysis into this project reveals a myriad of risks and downfalls. First, according to a current CareFlight pilot, CareFlight will not land within a wind farm. If a traumatic accident occurs, patients must be loaded at the scene by local EMS squads, transported to a predetermined location, then loaded into CareFlight. This additional step poses a significant risk in the delay of reaching critical medical care. Secondly, McCann Appraisal, LLC, reports homes within three miles of wind turbines lose 20-40 percent of their value, and take twice as long to sell. Third, according to MidWest Electric, the perkilowatt-hour cost of wind generated electricity is three to four times higher than electricity from other sources, necessitating higher utility rates. Disconcerting, it is uncertain whether the energy obtained from these turbines will even be utilized here in Shelby County. Fourth, potential risks for physical and structural damage. Since 2007, more than 1,500 windturbine-related accidents have been documented. On April 24, 2012, a turbine malfunctioned near Van Wert, launching turbine debris over 1,158 feet. Currently, for a 500-foot turbine, the Ohio Revised Code would only require a setback of 550 feet from neighboring property lines. This setback falls well short of the distance debris can be thrown. Consequently, potential risks exist for structural damage to neighboring homes, outbuildings, and/or possible severe/fatal bodily harm. Plans for this project are ongoing and purposefully kept out of the public limelight. I encourage everyone to become more educated and ask questions, especially from township trustees and county commissioners, as they will be involved in this project. Additionally, please drive to Van Wert and witness these wind farms firsthand. Their landscape is appalling and destroyed, now composed of turbines, countless electric poles, and gigantic substations. Our quality of life and landscape here in Shelby County should not be for sale, especially for a project driven only by 34 landowners. Garrett Serr 105 Waterford Court Jackson Center
To the editor: As the election approaches, I believe we need to be careful not to use the “images” of candidates and issues as portrayed by the major media (and that includes the AP wire service that the SDN uses) as our primary source of information. The major media tend to use its bias as a way to present “images” of candidates and issues which cover up the reality of positions and records. For instance, pro-lifers are sometimes portrayed as “extremists” for promoting legal protection for preborn babies. And yet, at the Democratic convention there were over two dozen prime-time speakers, including the heads of the largest pro-abortion organizations in the country, praising unrestricted abortions at taxpayer expense. Unrestricted abortions at taxpayers’ expense have never been supported by the majority of Americans! However, those positions were never examined for their implications nor criticized as “extreme” by the major media outlets. Barack Obama voted to keep partial-birth abortions legal and he voted against saving babies born alive after an abortion. Those positions are not at all mainstream, but the media have never labeled him as an “extremist.” I believe that the truth really does set us free. If we are to maintain our constitutional and religious freedoms, we need to make decisions based upon reality rather than “images” created for us by the major media. If you are interested in a reality check on abortion, www.abort73.com is a good place to start. If you are searching for healing because of an abortion in your past, that website can also help. Locally, Project Hope (help@HopeAfterAbortionDayton.org) ) is a good resource. Mary C. Schmiesing 9700 Sidney-Freyburg Road
Who is to blame? To the editor: One of the many lies that we hear over and over is that everything is Bush’s fault. For the last two years of his presidency, Bush was a lame duck. He had no power because the House and Senate were Democrat-controlled. He was also unable to veto, because of the number of Democrats in office, so he had no veto power. He did not abuse the power of executive order and therefore, had no power. When Obama says that he had to clean up a Republican mess, he really should say that he had to clean up a Democratic mess. He has had six years now, as he was part of the Senate before he became president. Part of the mess was Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, which falls on democrats’ shoulders, and we were assured by Barney Frank, Democrat, that our finances were sound. Ha! Many times, George Bush warned that the Federal Reserve needed to be audited, but it was not. So who is to blame? Raymond Lazier 13362 Pasco-Montra Road Maplewood

Biggest and proudest Hero Day salutes military, first responders PIQUA — “Hero Day” at Gover Harley Davidson in Piqua has become a traditional tribute to all military and first responders. But the event Saturday was both the biggest and broadest in its five-year history. It honored the Greatest Generation from World War II, the young heroes of the ongoing War on Terror, and celebrated the everyday heroism of blood donors with the first ever Community Blood Center (CBC) Hero Day Blood Drive. “This is the biggest event in the history of our dealership by far,” said Gover Harley Davidson co-owner Tracy Gover. “It’s the biggest we’ve ever pulled off,” echoed operations manager Greg Foughty, who wore the special Hero Day Tshirt, emblazoned with “We Support Those Who Serve. Welcome Home B Battery. Be Safe 1487th.” The well wishes for the 1487th National Guard Transportation Company stationed at the Piqua Armory are deeply felt, since the unit will deploy to Afghanistan in January. On board the CBC bloodmobile, 1487th member Shawn Stewart from Columbus casually relaxed on a donor bed as he gave blood. He didn’t know the blood drive was planned for Hero Day, but said, “I figured it was a good time.” Stewart said his unit will report to Fort Hood, Texas, in November and will be on its
way to Afghanistan by Christmas. It will be his first deployment to Afghanistan, but he is a veteran of duty in Iraq. He knows what to expect, but plays down the hardship ahead. “It will be winter, so hey, at least it will be a little cooler,” he said, shrugging. Also donating was 23-yearold Turrell Lewis from Sidney, who just joined the 1487th. He’s so new to the unit, it’s uncertain when he will deploy to Afghanistan. He didn’t know there would be a blood drive at Hero Day, and he was also surprised by the display of pride and appreciation. “It kind of makes me feel happy to see people trying to give back to soldiers,” he said. The tributes are everywhere. World War II re-enactors dressed in U.S. Army and Navy uniforms strolled around campgrounds and vintage vehicles. A Red Cross nurse was busy at a hospital tent and nearby German soldier re-nactors stood by their own tents, while a German officer pedaled up on a vintage bicycle. A live band took the stage in front of the dealership and vendors lined the side of the building, selling motorcyclebranded clothing and jewelry, and styling hair. All the businesses donated part of their proceeds to Wounded Warriors and other veteran groups. There was also a showing from Toys for Tots, the Patriot Guards and Blue Star Mothers.

Count Your Blessings Alpacas to participate in National Alpaca Farm Days tion cutting encourages the plants’ growth. Because they are modified ruminants with a three-compartment stomach, alpacas convert grass and hay to energy very efficiently, and stop eating when they are full, further preserving the landscape on which they live. However, alpacas do not mind eating brush, fallen leaves and other “undesirable” vegetation, leaving the “good stuff” for species that do not have the stomach to digest such roughage. Alpacas’ pellet-like droppings are PH-balanced, and an excellent, natural, slow-release, low-odor fertilizer. This rich fertilizer is perfect for growing fruits and vegetables. Because alpacas consolidate their feces in one or two communal spots in the pasture, it is easy to collect and compost, and the spread of parasites is controlled.
On Sept. 29 and 30, alpaca breeders from across the United States and Canada will invite the public to come to their farm or ranch to meet their alpacas and learn more about these inquisitive, unique animals, the luxury fiber they produce, and why the alpaca business is perfect for environmentally conscious individuals, event organizers said. From noon to 4 p.m., Count Your Blessings Alpacas will welcome guests to join it for many activities, including felting, spinning, alpaca obstacle course, fleece-processing demonstrations, all free. Count Your Blessings Alpacas is located at 680 Doorley Road.
About alpacas Alpacas, cousins to the llama, are native to the Andean Mountain range of South America, particularly Peru, Bolivia, and Chile. The United States first commercially imported alpacas in 1984. There are now more than 160,000 Alpaca Registry Inc. (ARI) registered alpacas in North America. There are two types of alpacas in the United States today. Although almost physically identical, what distinguishes the two types of alpacas is their fiber. The Huacaya (wa-Ki’-ah) is the more common of the two and has a fluffy, extremely fine coat. The Suri (SUR-ee) is the rarer of the two and has fiber that is silky and resembles pencil-locks. Adult alpacas stand approximately 36 inches at the withers and generally weigh between 150 and 200 pounds. They do not have horns, hooves, claws or incisors. Alpacas are alert, intelligent, curious and predictable, alpaca raisers said. Social animals that seek companionship, they communicate most commonly by softly humming.

ELAYNA ERNST, daughter of Doug and Amanda Ernst, of Troy, and granddaughter of Rick and Annette Paulus, is shown with an alpaca cria (baby) named Meshach. Alpacas are shorn, without harm, every 12 to 18 months. They produce five to 10 pounds of luxurious fiber. Long ago, alpaca fiber was reserved for royalty. Today it is purchased in its raw fleece form by hand-spinners and fiber artists. Knitters buy it as yarn.
Soft texture Because of its soft texture, alpaca fiber is sometimes compared to cashmere. Making the fiber even more coveted, it has the luster of silk. Alpaca is just as warm as, yet 1/3 the weight of wool. It comes in 22 natural colors, yet can be dyed any desired shade. Containing no lanolin, alpaca fiber is also naturally hypoallergenic. Most people who are sensitive to wool find that they can wear alpaca without the itching or irritation they feel from wool because alpaca
fiber is smooth. Additional performance characteristics include: stretch, water repellency and odor reduction. For travelers, clothing made from alpaca is desirable because it is wrinkle-resistant.
Green alpacas? Alpacas come in 22 natural colors, but they are all “green.” Sensitive to their environment in every respect, alpacas have soft-padded feet instead of hooves and can leave even the most delicate terrain undamaged, according to alpaca raisers. Damage to topsoil decreases long-term soil fertility and in the process, the soil is eroded and weed invasion is encouraged. Alpacas prefer to eat tender grasses, which they do not pull up by the roots. Lacking upper teeth, alpacas “cut” the grass with their bottom teeth and upper palate. This vegeta-
No chemicals While alpacas are environmentally friendly — and even beneficial — to the land, what makes them even more “green” is the fiber they produce. No chemicals are employed either during feeding or during the industrial production of alpaca fleece into fiber. If dying is desired, only 20 percent of a normal dye quantity is required. All fiber from an alpaca can be used. Even the fiber from the lower legs, belly, neck, etc., is being used for things such as natural weed mats to be placed around trees. Alpaca fiber is biodegradable. Alpacas require no insecticides, herbicides and fertilizers, which pollute the groundwater.

Word of the Week linear scale — a means of showing the scale of a map, chart, or drawing
Newspaper Knowledge Geographical references in any news or feature story will ad reality to the study of geography. Travels of local persons and visitors from other countries are frequently noted in newspapers. Newspaper reading should also increase knowledge of local geography. A good classroom map of the area should be regarded as essential.
t
ime for the intermission in our around-the-world journey. This is where we learn something every world traveler needs to know: How to read a map. What is a map anyway? It’s sort of a code, really. The lines and symbols on a map are code for the elements of a place. Without maps, geographers would be lost – and that’s no joke. By translating the important elements of a place into symbols that are much smaller and much more easily manipulated than those of the real place, a map helps its readers understand more about the place represented than they might have if they’d only visited, without the map. Maps are drawn to scale, which means each inch or centimeter or whatever on the map represents the same amount of real space. One inch on the map might represent 100 miles, 1,000 miles, or just one mile, depending on the map. Two cities that appear the same distance away from a third city on a map, then, should be about the same distance from that city in reality. A graph on the map often tells the reader what the scale is. Maps also use certain symbols for the features of the place they represent. A dot might represent small towns, a square larger towns. Rivers might be blue lines, while roads are black lines. Political units might each be a different color, while national capitals are written in bold print and underlined.

New public BOE approves personnel actions during meeting defender sought Sidney City Schools Board of Education members approved a number of personnel actions during their meeting Monday evening and approved creating a position of Alternative School coordinator. The board approved personnel actions for the 2012-13 school year based on the completion of proper certification, previous employment verification, and a clean Ohio Bureau of CriminaI Investigation and FBI background check. The board approved establishing the position of Alternative School coordinator. The classified position is a 185-day, 7.5-
hour-per-day position. The salary schedule for the position was also approved with a base salary of $14.50 per hour and a maximum salary of $29.37 per hour. Kevin Stapleton was hired as the Alternative School coordinator on a oneyear, limited contract effective Sept. 19 at a rate of $22.32 per hour. oneSupplemental year, limited contracts were awarded to the following: • Amber Scott, 11thgrade class adviser, $678. • Bridget Steed, SCOLA/Opportunity School intervention specialist, effective Sept. 5, $25.29 per hour. • Greg Hines, head
bowling coach, $1,694. • Zach Watson, assistant bowling coach, $1,355. The board also approved T-School monitors for the 2012-13 school year at a rate of $25.29 per hour. They include Ernest Capraro, Michael Keiser, Sara Olding and Joe Spangler. Resident educator mentors were also approved at a stipend of $500 each. The funds for the mentors will be paid through reimbursement by the Ohio Department of Education and a Race to the Top grant. Those mentors are Linda Ahrens, Mark Hilbun, Randi Uhl, Amy Baldauf, Karen McRill, Tony Wagner, Mandi Croft
READING Students will be required to take the testing, and if they are ill or have other problems, the local school board can excuse the student from taking the test, but it must be taken within nine days following the scheduled date of the exam. Under the plan, the board will report any students who do not take the mandated testing to the Ohio Department of Education by June 30 of each year. The board heard a report from Mark Barhorst, director of business operations and technology, regarding damage from a storm on June 29 that affected Emerson and Whittier Elementary schools. Barhorst told board members that there was “obvious” roof damage at Emerson and that “Whittier had much more damage” from the storm. He said it was “obvious” there would be an insurance claim. Barhorst said he had a roofer look at the damage, and the roofer and the insurance adjuster “do not agree” about the damages. He said the insurance company sent the school district a check for $12,674 and will send a check for $10,972.10 if roof repairs are made. Barhorst recommended that the board approve repairing the roof at Emerson now and repair the Whittier roof next summer. The board approved the request. The board heard a report by Barhorst regarding Power School, which will serve as the new student information system. The new system is necessary because the district’s current software does not meet the state education department requirements. The board approved entering an agreement with Pearson Education and the Northwest Ohio Computer Association for the Power School system at a cost of $4.50 per pupil. There will be additional costs for licenses, hosting services, implementation, conversion, training and related costs. The implementation of Power School will begin in December and the school district plans to be

The parent and the school where they will serve include Stacey New, Northwood Elementary; Jayne Smith, Whittier Elementary; Leslie Smith, Longfellow Elementary; and Michaela Topalov, Emerson Elementary. The board also approved the employment of Michaela Topolav on a one-year, limited, asneeded contract as a substitute aide effective Sept. 17 at a rate of $10.22 per hour.
Candidates are being sought to fill the office of Shelby County Public Defender, which will become vacant for the first time since 1981. Current Shelby County Probate Court Judge William R. Zimmerman was appointed the county’s first public defender in 1982. He was succeeded by his assistant, Timothy S. Sell, in July 2005, and Sell has served as the public defender since that time. Sell is running unopposed for county prosecutor in the November general election. He will resign as public defender immediately following the general election. The public defender is appointed by the Shelby County Public Defender Commission, a panel of local attorneys and business leaders. The commission is seeking professional candidates to fill the vacancy that will be created by Sell’s resignation. The public defender will head an office of three or four other attorneys and clerical staff responsible for providing representation to indigent individuals charged with criminal offenses in Shelby County. T he office also provided indigent representation to juveniles charged with delinquency offenses and the parents of children alleged to be dependent, neglected or abused. The office provides representation in the Criminal and Juvenile divisions of Shelby County Common Pleas Court and in Sidney Municipal Court.
From Page 1 converted to the program and have it implemented by the beginning of the 2013-14 school year. The board approved the program. The board heard a report on curriculum mapping, which will create standards for students in kindergarten and first grade in the areas of English and language arts, mathematics, 2010 revised social studies and 2010 revised science. They will also transition to a standards-based report card. Students in sixththrough eighth-grade science will also be part of the curriculum mapping program with mapping of the 2010 Ohio revised science standards. As part of the curriculum mapping program, there will be a new course offered at Sidney High School in economics. The course will be offered to juniors and seniors as part of the 2010 Ohio revised social studies standards. The one-semester course will allow students to use iPads instead of textbooks. The board approved the curriculum mapping program with Superintendent John Scheu telling board members he is “excited” about the use of iPads for the economics class. “It takes away (the) cost of books,” he said. But some board members were concerned about the use of iPads. In response to a question by Ankney, he was told that if the students drop and break the iPads, the district will be responsible for replacing them. Ankney also was concerned that students might load inappropriate materials on the iPads, to which Barhorst responded that at this time, there are “no checks and balances” to prevent that. Board member Steve Smith also raised concerns about the possibility of damage to the iPads. Barhorst said students usually “take good care of them” because they know their school work is on them. McClain said there will be 30 iPads in the classroom for the eco-

nomics course and they will stay in the classroom and will not go home with students. The cost of the iPads is being paid mostly by Race to the Top (RTT) funding, although Smith questioned what will happen in two or three years when the iPads need to be replaced and RTT funding is no longer available to replace them. Barhorst told board members that students all have email addresses assigned by the school district and all of their emails are “archived” by the district and inappropriate use of emails can be tracked. The board approved adopting curriculum maps for kindergarten, first grade, science for grades 6-8 and economics as recommended by the Curriculum Committee and Scheu. The board approved the tuition rate for Sidney City Schools students for the 2012-13 school year at $3,894.32. The rate is determined by the Ohio Department of Education. The board approved an authorization to issue $257,000 in school energy conservation bond anticipation notes as recommended by the school treasurer, Mike Watkins. Watkins told the board that the notes have been in place for several years and are part of House Bill 264. He said the board might consider paying them off at some time. The board approved the authorization of amendments to the ground lease and lease agreements. Watkins told the board the district is currently paying $75,000 per year on the Board of Education building and has approximately $900,000 left to pay. Board member Darrell Spangler gave a legislative report, stating there continue to be delays in the school district report cards due to an investigation by the Ohio Auditor of State. The board met in executive session to consider employment of personnel. No action was taken. The board’s next meeting will be held on Oct. 1 at 6 p.m. at the Board of Education office.
VETERANS “I am so pleased to be taking all of you Vietnam veterans on trip No. 8,” said Bennett. “We are giving the Vietnam veterans the honor that they definitely deserve,” said Jim Hall, a volunteer for the trip. The veterans were encouraged to “raise a little cane” in D.C. after receiving canes carved by Shelby County the Woodcarvers. One of the veterans going on the trip is Tom Kinninger, of Sidney. For each of the previous trips, Kinninger, who is post commander of the VFW, has assisted with the trip by providing the send-off and follow-up dinners. For this weekend, Kinninger will leave the VFW behind and be treated as royalty as a man who served his country with honor. “Tom has done a tremendous job for us,” said Bennett. “The VFW took us under their wing so we could spend all the money we raised on our veterans.” Kinninger, who was a major in the U.S. Army for three years, was a member of the 9th Infantry Division. He was attached to the 9th Medical Battalion and was stationed in Dong Tam, Vietnam, for one year. He also served in the Ohio National Guard for six years. While in Vietnam, Kinninger was a quartermaster and dealt with making sure supplies were available for the unit. “Our home base sup-

ported the MASH units,” said Kinninger. “I dealt with logistics of getting supplies where they needed to be. I was kind of like Cpl. Klinger on ‘MASH’.” “Everyone encouraged me to go on the trip,” said Kinninger. “I had signed up to be a caregiver, but the committee changed it to veteran.” Shelby County, said Kinninger, has been fortunate to have an organization like Shelby County Veterans to D.C. “Ed Ball started this and took two trips to D.C.,” said Kinninger. “Then Mike Bennett took over and he’s taken six trips to D.C. “Hopefully we will have more depending on the community and the veterans,” he said. “This has been a wonderful thing and it really needed to happen to honor our veterans. Right now is a perfect time to get them (Vietnam veterans) to D.C.” Kinninger said in addition to the VFW, all the veterans organizations in the county and surrounding area have supported the trips. The group leaves Friday morning from the fairgrounds and the public is invited to attend. On Saturday, the veterans will visit Arlington National Cemetery, the Marine Memorial, Air Force Memorial, The Wall, the Korean War Memorial and World War II Memorial. The group will return to Shelby County Sunday afternoon.

Lady Cavs up mark to 7-0
Lehman spikers ranked No. 1 The Lehman Lady Cavs, coming off wins over Division I Fairmont and Division II Chaminade over the weekend, are the No. 1-ranked Division IV team in Ohio, according to the first weekly poll of the Ohio High School Volleyball Coaches Association. Lehman is 11-2 and the
two losses have come to a pair of Division III powers in Lima Catholic and Versailles. Lima Catholic is 9-2 and ranked No. 4 in D-III and Versailles is 8-2 and ranked No. 12 in D-III. In all, three Shelby County teams are mentioned in the DIV rankings. Russia, at 9-1, is ranked No. 13 and Fort Lo-
ramie, 9-3, is right behind in 14th spot. Marion Local, which has played just six matches so far and won five of them, is ranked No. 7 in D-IV. St. Henry, which last year won its seventh state championship in volleyball, is ranked fourth in D-IV, and defending
state champion Miami East is the top-ranked team in D-III. In Division I, Dublin Coffman, coached by Lehman High graduate Mary Anne (Wheeler) Souder, is ranked 12th and in D-IV, Leipsic, coached by Botkins High School grad Chelsea Rogers, is ranked 17th. Both are 7-2.
Loramie pulls into first-place tie with Russia in County race Fort Loramie pulled even with Russia in the County volleyball standings Tuesday, beating Anna in a matchup of teams that were both 4-1 in the standings. Loramie won the match 2518, 25-18, 25-17 to go to 5-1 and tie Russia for the top spot. Overall, the Lady Redskins are now 11-3. Anna drops to 4-2 and 7-7. “We knew Anna would be tough in the middle of the floor and we made some great adjustments,” said Loramie coach John Rodgers. Loramie has had eight matches in 11 days and face its biggest challenge Thursday at Lehman, the topranked Division IV team in Ohio. Lindsey Hilgefort had 11 kills, Reggie Brandewie and Kelly Turner 10 each and Darian Rose nine for Loramie.

TIPP CITY — The Lehman girls soccer team ran its record to a perfect 7-0 on the season with a 4-0 blanking of Bethel in action here Tuesday night. The Lady Cavs got a pair of goals from Taylor Lachey, and one from Sarah Fuller, who recently returned from an injury. “It was good to see Sara get some quality playing time,” said Lehman coach Tony Schroeder. “We got all four goals in the first half, and were able to play everybody in the second half.” Lehman got the scoring started just minutes into the contest when Sarah Titterington crossed the ball to Fuller, and it deflected off her chest and into the goal. With 18 minutes left in the first half, McKenna Guillozet got the ball to Titterington for a goal and a 2-0 lead, and six minutes later, Lachey dribbled through the defense and scored unassisted for a 3-0 lead. Then just 30 seconds later, Titterington assisted on Lachey’s second goal. Lehman returns to action on Saturday at Newton at 11 a.m. • The Lehman boys played the first game Tuesday against Bethel and won 2-1 to up its record to 4-2-1 on the year. Bethel scored first with 21 minutes left when Nick Wanamaker scored unassisted. Then with 10 minutes left in the first half, Noah Dunn found Seth Bensman on the right side and he beat the goalie to the wide side and tied the score. Then with three minutes left in the half, Lehman had a throw-in and when it got to Bensman, he centered it to Travis Thornton, who headed it past the Bethel goalie. The second half was a defensive struggle and no more goals were added. “Having the win in the second half helped tremendously,” said Lehman coach Tom Thornton. “They didn’t mount much of an attack, but when they would counter, our defense shut them down.” Lehman is back in action Saturday at Newton.’
Anna falls 4-1 Anna fell to a strong Miami East team 4-1 in girls soccer action Tuesday. The Lady Rockets got a goal from Erica Huber with 26:53 left in the second half, and at the time, it tied the game up. But Miami East went on to take control from there. Raquel Bollheimer had an assist for Anna, and goalkeeper Kristen Grimes had 10 saves.

SIDNEY’S PRESTON Heath works to stay ahead of Piqua’s Xavier Brown (2) and Eion Hogston in boys soccer action
Tuesday at Sidney. Sidney won the game 1-0.
Jackets edge Piqua on PK Sidney took on archrival Piqua in boys soccer action at the high school Tuesday night and came away with a hardfought 1-0 win, the goal coming on a penalty kick by Preston Heath in the second half. The game was an important one for the Jackets because it put them at 2-0 in the Greater Western Ohio Conference North Division
standings. Sidney has either won or shared the North division championship the past five years. Overall, the Jackets are now 5-2-2 and play Lima Catholic Saturday at 1 p.m. in Lima. The game was scoreless at the half, but midway through the second half, Sidney’s
Brady Gaylor was fouled in the box, resulting in a penalty kick for the Jackets. Heath took the shot and “he buried it,” according to head coach Eric Harlamert. “It wasn’t pretty,” said the coach. “But a win is a win. We’re still without two of our top players in Dustin Lorenzo and Blake Steenrod, and we hope to get them back soon.

“I felt like we controlled the action most of the game, but we didn’t have many well-built attacks,” he added. “But we had our chances. Brady Gaylor had a shot in the first half that went off the crossbar.” Sidney goalkeeper Ben Snavley, a freshman, recorded the shutout. Piqua is now 3-5-1 on the season.
The Botkins boys dominated the action against Cory Rawson, but didn’t score until just three minutes remained in a 1-0 victory Tuesday in boys soccer. The goal came from Andy Egbert, off an assist by Logan Russell. The goal came just after Botkins keeper Christian Hoskins made a save on a Cory Rawson penalty kick with four minutes to go in the game. The win puts the Trojans at 6-2-3 on the year. They were also in action on Saturday and lost to Lima Temple Christian.

BY KEN BARHORST & DAVE ROSS The original 2012 schedule had Sidney visiting big school power Northmont on Friday night, leaving Sidney Memorial Stadium open for Lehman's homecoming game with Riverside. A few months back, Northmont agreed to drop the games with Sidney both this year and next, allowing both schools to schedule Dayton City opponents. Sidney elected Belmont, representing a winning opportunity, while Northmont opted for Dunbar in the quest for additional computer playoff points. It's a winwin for all concerned including the Dayton schools that filled open dates. Since Belmont agreed to play twice in Sidney, the 2012 stadium schedule had to be addressed and Sidney did the right thing. Since Lehman's homecoming was already set, the Yellow Jackets went with Saturday to create a local high school football double weekend. While this is not unusual, Lehman normally plays the Saturday contest. Saturday night games

Last Friday a pair of unbeatens squared off as upstart Bradford hosted perennial Cross County Conference power Covington. Turns out that the status quo prevailed as the visitors dominated the Railroaders 56-6. For now Covington is stuck with the opponents provided by the CCC, few of whom offer quality competition. They play only a single non-league game which has recently been New Bremen. Next year St. Henry moves into that opening slot. It's a needed upgrade for the playoff minded Buccs.
The Pirates are fresh off a 49-13 win over Springfield Emmanuel Christian that isn't an official OHSAA victory as SEC is not yet a certified varsity football program. For computer point purposes, Riverside is winless after being dominated in its first trio of outings. They have about two dozen players and will not be able to compete with 1-3 Lehman. Riverside knew that an easy win was coming last Friday at DeGraff and never threw a pass while gaining 487 yards on the ground. The Pirates top three ball carriers collectively averaged almost ten yards per carry. The head coach trying to get things going at the Springfield school is the former head man at Lehman, Troy Christian, Tri-County North, and Riverside, Sidney resident Steve Hunsucker.
Memories of ’76 Versailles tallied 27 fourth unanswered quarter points last Friday to win 41-27 at Anna. While that's quite a showing, it pales compared to the Tigers 1976 visit to Sidney to play rival Lehman. With less than five minutes to go before

Top shelf receiver Needs to improve Ohio State entered the 2012 campaign without a recognizable receiver. No Buckeye catchers were household names when the season kicked off. However, after just three games Devin Smith has emerged as a top shelf receiver. Smith grabbed a onehanded catch for a TD and national attention along the way in the season opener. On Saturday, against Cal, Smith made a dazzling play for his first touchdown and later delivered a clutch 72-yard break-away touchdown that proved to be the game-winner.
Miller for Heisman gaining traction Braxton Miller as a legitimate candidate for the Heisman award is gaining momentum. After another sturdy performance on Saturday, where Miller tossed for 249 yards and four touchdowns to go along with 75 yards and a touchdown on the ground, the Buckeye signal caller has his name on a short list of serious Heisman candidates. After three games Miller has racked up 988 yards of total offense, 12 touchdowns, and just a pair of turnovers. Most importantly, on
One of the most glaring problems for Ohio State is the tackling, or the absence of tackling when finishing off plays. On Saturday, the Buckeye defense missed a handful of opportunities on Brendan Bigelow’s 81-yard, third quarter touchdown romp for Cal. While this was the most transparent example of the defense not wrapping up a player, there were other instances of missed opportunities on Saturday. “Terrible,� said OSU coach Urban Meyer. “Terrible. I wish I had some magic answer for you. We don’t tackle well right now. It’s time to play Ohio State defense, and that wasn’t Ohio State defense at all.� Overall, OSU gave up 512 yards to Cal, including 224 on the ground. The total yards marked the most by an opponent at the Horseshoe since Minnesota manufactured 578 in 2005. Against the Golden Bears, the Bucks were able to recover; however against a more formidable opponent these misses will likely be too difficult to bounce back from. Stay tuned to see how this area of the game progresses throughout the season.

CLEVELAND (AP) — Jim Brown and the Cleveland Browns are getting back together. The Hall of Fame running back, who has had a rift with his former team for several years, plans to take part in alumni events this weekend when the Browns host the Buffalo Bills. Browns spokesman Neal Gulkis said the 76year-old Brown recently informed the team that he will be in Cleveland for Sunday’s game, when the Browns will induct former players Ernie
Green and Clarence Scott into their legends club. Brown also told former teammates of his intentions at the funeral for former owner Art Modell in Baltimore last week. It will be Brown’s first time at Cleveland Browns Stadium in more than two years. He has been at odds with the club since team president Mike Holmgren removed him from his role as an adviser to owner Randy Lerner, who is selling the franchise to Jimmy Haslam III.
Holmgren offered Brown a reduced role with the team, but he declined. Brown was so hurt by Holmgren’s decision to change his position with the team that he boycotted a ceremony in 2010, when the Browns unveiled a ring of honor inside their stadium. Brown’s absence overshadowed and diminished the event, and his estranged relationship with the Browns has been a sore point for all parties involved. In June, Holmgren said he was open to re-
newing a relationship with Brown. “I would like Jim Brown to come and be a part of this and feel comfortable doing that and I would welcome him with open arms,� Holmgren said. “How the Browns view Jim Brown hasn’t changed and will never change. I would love to see Jim Brown walk in right now or come to the Legends thing, be a part of this.� It’s not known if Brown will meet with Holmgren while he’s in town over the weekend.

or scheme changes? “You can say guys had him, guys wrapped up, guys this, guys that — all I can see is that it’s not a lack of effort,” Fickell said. “Now, is it fundamentally sound in what we’re doing? No. When a guy slips out the back side for 81 yards, there’s nothing fundamentally sound about it. Did three guys have (a shot at) him? Yeah, but we’ve got to make sure we continue to stress the things that we’re supposed to do on those plays.” The members of the defense — which did end up preserving the win on Christian Bryant’s late interception to thwart the final Cal possession — recognize that they are going to face a lot of loud yelling and hard drills this week. Bryant was a gamesaver at the end, but he also missed an open-field tackle on one of Bigelow’s big runs. “People are just taking for granted somebody already making the play and everybody’s not flying to the ball,” Bryant said when asked to pinpoint the problem.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — His team hasn’t lost and it has a quarterback who has stamped himself as one of the best in the nation. Yet as No. 16 Ohio State readies for its final non-conference game on Saturday against UAB, coach Urban Meyer knows he and his staff still have a lot of items to clean up. The very first thing, on the top of that list, is eliminating big plays on defense. “That is the most alarming thing,” Meyer said on Monday. “I’ve watched Ohio State’s defense for a long time, and I can’t remember a defense I’ve been around that’s given up this many (big plays). We’ve got to stop or we’ll lose a game.” Ohio State’s opponents have racked up 13 plays from scrimmage that picked up at least 20 yards. In Saturday’s come-from-behind 35-28 win over California, the Buckeyes cruised to a 207 lead at the half then surrendered gains of 36, 81, 30, 16 and 15 yards on the Golden Bears’ next five possessions to fall behind 21-20. After having no luck gaining yards or collecting first downs on their previous four possessions, behind quarterback Braxton Miller the Buckeyes marched 75 yards to regain the lead. Then it took just two plays for Cal to come right back and tie it. Brendan Bigelow, who gained 160 yards on just four carries, ran for 16 yards and then raced for 59 more, with the extrapoint kick tying it at 28 with 8:10 left. “That’s not acceptable,” Meyer said. So this week, rest assured, the defense will be going over every detail to try to find a solution. Part of the problem, of course, is that Bigelow made a couple of sensational runs, putting up the Ohio Stadium record for an opponent 82-yard run while twice putting his hand down on the turf for balance as he spun 360 degrees during contact before turning upfield and outrunning the defense. Beyond that, it’s a series of dominoes falling the wrong way. “Believe me, I laid awake Saturday night trying to watch that thing while everybody else in the house slept,” said defensive co-coordinator Luke Fickell, who served as interim head coach a year ago. “I couldn’t pinpoint one exact thing.” In his head he went back and forth: His players converged quickly, but did they overreact? Was it just sloppy tackling on a single play, or was it endemic of a deeper problem which might require personnel

Previously she was a meteorologist at CNN Headline News Radio in Newburgh, NY. “I’ve covered everything from tornadoes to Nor’easters,” Vrydaghs said. “But my most challenging was Hurricane Irene.” Irene moved up the Atlantic Coast in August 2011, making final landfall just east of New York City. With more than $15 billion in damage, it became the fifth costliest hurricane in U.S. history. “The hardest part was staying sharp on-air for almost 24 straight hours,” says Vrydaghs. “The best part was knowing that I was helping viewers stay safe.” Storm Center 7 Chief Meteorologist Jamie Simpson says Vrydaghs’ forecasting skills are not just limited to hurricanes and tornadoes. “McCall earned her degree in meteorology from SUNY Oswego, which is one of the top universi-

BY FRANCES DRAKE For Thursday, Sept. 20, 2012 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Relations with others, especially partners and close friends, will be touchy today! People are explosive and ready to fight at the drop of a hat. Tread carefully! TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) This is an accident-prone day for your kids. It’s also an accident-prone day for sports, creative activities and anything connected with the entertainment world and the hospitality industry. Be careful! GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Even though you are in an upbeat, easygoing mood, upsets at home (small appliances might break down or minor breakages could occur) are in the mix. Avoid arguing about shared possessions. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) This is a good day for business and commerce; however, issues at home or within your family are unpredictable. Minor accidents and family arguments might occur. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) You feel friendly and social today. Enjoy good times with others, but be aware that this is an accident-prone day (verbally or physically). Avoid arguments. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Be aware of your possessions and money today, because you might lose something or break it. The upside is that you might discover an opportunity to make a fast buck. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Relations with others are potentially explosive today. Although you will enjoy times with friends and groups, you might argue with partners and close friends. (Be tolerant and patient.) SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Your energy is still very high today, which is why you might end up in an argument with someone at work or even a neighbor or sibling. Quit competing. (You don’t have to always be right.) SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Your dealings with others in group situations will be potentially explosive today. You might attract someone who is brash, loud and overpowering. (Run away!) CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Avoid arguments with parents, bosses, teachers and VIPs. Suddenly, they could erupt, and they will not be helpful. Instead, accept help from someone who is ready to assist you. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) This is an accident-prone day for your sign, so be careful. Fortunately, partners and close friends are supportive and loving. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Keep an eye on your money today, because you might find money or you might lose money. Guard your possessions against loss or theft. Fortunately, things at work flow smoothly. YOU BORN TODAY You’re observant. You notice people, your surroundings and even the trends of society around you. You’re organized and take a great interest in running everything around you, including your home. You fix things and solve problems. Your greatest strength is your belief in yourself. In the year ahead, set aside time to learn something valuable. (Your rewards soon will follow.) Birthdate of: George R.R. Martin, author/screenwriter; Sophia Loren, actress; Enuka Okuma, actress.

to do with it. Type 1 diabetes accounts for 5 percent to 10 percent of all diabetes cases. Type 2 diabetes, the much more common kind, comes about from a decline in insulin production along with a decline in the effectiveness of insulin. Ninety percent of type 2 diabetics are overweight, and weight loss helps them control their blood sugar. Physical inactivity also contributes to type 2 diabetes. So do genes. Again, it’s not the sugar intake that produces this common type of diabetes. But monitoring the intake of sugar is important for control of this variety of diabetes.
urinate, the bowl is covered with tiny foam bubbles. Is this dangerous? What causes it? — E.K. ANSWER: Urinated urine covered with foam that looks like a head of beer poured into a glass might be due to protein in the urine. Ordinarily, no protein should be in urine. The kidney’s filtering stations keep protein in the blood. Protein finds its way into the urine when those stations have holes in them. Don’t let this alarm you. Foamy urine isn’t a reliable sign of trouble. You can settle the question by getting one of medicine’s cheapest, fastest and easiest tests, a urinalysis. Your doctor DEAR DR.

Because he is telling the girls to keep what he’s doing a secret, he knows he is doing something wrong.

The festival kicks off Friday and continues through Sunday. The Shelby County Steam and Antique Machinery Show will be a major attraction at the festival for the fourth year. Mail Pouch sign painter Harley Warrick will appear at this year’s lake festival. The “Chew Mail Pouch Tobacco” signs on the sides of barns throughout the Midwest have gone from just being a means of advertising chewing tobacco to become a symbol of a bygone era. _____ COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — The cost of going to college in Ohio is on the rise again, but officials say the increase is not as bad as they had expected. Ohio Board of Regents Chancellor, William Coulter said instructional fees at public universities and colleges, which have remained stable at no more than 4 percent a year for the last two years, rose by an average 9 percent this fall. ––––– 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.

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.
