Veterans return from D.C.

BY MELANIE SPEICHER mspeicher@sdnccg.com WASHINGTON, D.C. — It was a meeting of the past and present.

The past: U.S. Veterans of the Korean War. The present: officials from Korea, along with military personnel, placing a wreath at the Korean War Memorial Saturday.

It was a chance meeting, but one which will last for the veterans. The Korean officials walked the line of veterans, shaking hands and thanking them for their See VETERANS/Page 15A

other mayors during the Mayor’s Challenge Pumpkin Regatta on the Miami and Erie Canal. Pape got off to a slow start in the race, spinning in place before gaining control of the trolling motor.

Pape’s pumpkin plunged to the bottom of the canal as it approached the finish line.

There were mayors from Wapakoneta, Coldwater, St.

Marys and Buckland who participated.

“The pumpkins used were carved from the ones at the weigh in,” said Scott Frey, Executive Director of the Southwestern Auglaize County Chamber of Commerce.

“Mayor Pape’s took on water, and he had to be rescued.”

PASCO — A mobile home used as an office was destroyed and investigators continue to look into the cause of the Saturday earlymorning fire at the Hidden Valley Mobile Home Park in Pasco off Ohio 29.

Crews were dispatched to 5880 State Route 29, lot 18, at 1:23 a.m. on Saturday.

The fire was quickly brought under control, but not before destroying the trailer. Port Jefferson Community Fire Department Chief Greg Blankenship estimated the value of the structure at about $10,000.

One firefighter was treated at the scene for minor smoke inhalation.

Officials have contacted the State Fire Marshal’s office to come to the scene to help in the investigation.

Sidney Fire Department also provided help with the investigation once the fire was out. Shelby County Fire, Port Jefferson Fire, PerryPort-Salem Rescue and Sidney Fire responded.

Publisher’s message to our readers —

BY FRANK L. BEESON Regional Publisher I-75 Newspaper Group Change.

Very few like it because it interrupts our way of life; although often necessary; it is just as often very difficult to fully embrace.

This past week your newspaper … whether it be the Sidney Daily News, Piqua Daily Call, or Troy Daily News … initiated changes that were necessary and were very challenging for our dedicated staff members, management teams, and our independent delivery contractors, including the many people at the United States Postal Service (USPS).

But most of all, these changes have been challenging for YOU, our loyal readers.

FUN!

It was 19th Century American author and clergyman Henry Ward Beecher, who wrote: Our days are a kaleidoscope. Every instant a change takes place. … New harmonies, new contrasts, new combinations of every sort. … The most familiar people stand each moment in some new relation to each other, to their work, to surrounding objects.

And it was notable African-American actress and singer Pearl Bailey, in her often melodious tone voiced: You must change in order to survive.

Last Monday, YOUR newspaper experienced a number of changes. All of our newspaper products were produced at

Area Wireless has 2 locations to serve you better!

Super Store

a new production facility in Miamisburg. We have officially closed many of our regional print plants throughout the state and our new owners recently invested in OUR future and YOUR newspaper in order to give you daily and weekly local news coverage you have come to expect over the years.

The new equipment has much more color capacity and print capabilities but I have yet to see change that did not produce unexpected “opportunities,” which come with expected improvements. This past week has been “full of opportunities.” Some of these areas have been expressed to us from you, our loyal readers via emails, telephone calls, and sometimes in person.

At the newspaper, we first

notice the more consistent print quality. Operating six individual print plants throughout the state, producing some 60-70 different publications each week, demanded networking solutions, but also posed individual facility concerns. Often we were questioned why one of the former Brown Publishing newspapers, now Ohio Community Media publications, did not appear equal in quality. The answer was fairly simple … different systems in place; different equipment at each location; different personnel from one plant to another.

And, while our overall print quality has greatly improved … literally, over night; bringing many operations together See MESSAGE/Page 2A

MESSAGE under one large print facility has also created a few unforeseen “opportunities.”

• Earlier news/editorial deadlines: Two weeks ago I had the responsibility of informing our highly dedicated local journalists that deadlines would be required to be adjusted.

Since so many newspapers would be published from the same print operation, there are simply not enough hours in the evening to produce our products, along with many other

daily sister publications, which also deliver early each morning.

Deadlines have been advanced.

Most challenging will be late night meeting coverage and late night local athletic events.

• Single section weekday newspapers: Our new tri-folder presses will allow up to three different daily newspapers to be printed at the same time. While this consolidates production times, it also means that each of our newspapers will

From Page 1 be published in one section. Reader concerns have been expressed that a one-section newspaper is a notable “change.” We will continue to give you our very best local coverage efforts throughout our newspaper; most editions will come to you in one colorful section.

• Recent late delivery times: While our production facility staffs expected some tests while introducing our products to a new press operation, the process of assembling

each of our editions with daily preprints; advertising and informational circulars; has been somewhat of an unexpected opportunity. We are very fortunate that so many of our clients value our newspapers and your readership, that understanding local newspapers remain the number one source for news and advertising home-delivery.

Because of such confidence, Ohio Community Media and your local newspaper actually delivers more preprint advertising than many area metropolitan newspapers. The time invested to assemble your daily newspaper, initially, has required more “on-the-production-line hours than originally estimated. The unexpected assembly and transportation delays have effected final delivery times to your home.

Last week one of our valued readers wrote to us, “There is an old adage that proclaims “We Progress Through Change.”

However, in my opinion (and the people I have breakfast with) your recent change … defies that old proverb.

Consolidation of six regional print facilities into one state-wide production facility is/was a required progression. All of us at the Sidney Daily News, Piqua Daily Call, and Troy Daily News will do our best to display ‘progress through change.’

All of us greatly appreciate your continued support and understanding during these opportunistic times.

Change is inevitable.

Fifth graders learn about flag Fifth-grade students at Longfellow Elementary School recently received an important lesson about the American Flag.

Larry Spence and Tom Clay from the Sidney American Legion Post 217 along with three auxiliary members Joan Spence, Blanche McLain, and Maggie Wiley spoke to fifthgrade students about the history of the American flag, the significance of its pattern and the various ways in which those who have served the country are honored with the flag.

The primary purpose of this visit was to teach these students about the honor and distinction surrounding the flag to allow them to understand the process in-

The men lowed students to prac-

tice what they learned in teams of two. At Longfellow, a light does not shine on the building’s flag, which means it must be taken down each evening and raised again each morning.

“Our fifth graders are thrilled to have the responsibility for raising, lowering and storing our building’s flag,” said Longfellow principal Francine Dembski.

“They understand the honor in this task and have taken it on with great excitement. We are truly appreciative that the American Legion was willing to help our students with this important lesson.”

According to Dembski, fifth-grade students will be responsible for this task throughout the coming school year.

STATE NEWS

Sidney Daily News, Monday, September 26, 2011

Page 4A

17 AGs favor watershed divide CHICAGO (AP) — Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette said he and his counterparts in 16 other states want to demand quicker federal action on preventing invasive species such as Asian carp from migrating between the Great Lakes and Mississippi River watersheds.

Schuette told The Associated Press that a coalition of state attorneys general reaching from West Virginia to Nevada would push Congress and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to expedite a plan for severing the connection between the two giant drainage basins that engineers constructed a century ago in Chicago rivers and canals.

Supporters contend it’s the only way to slam the door on species invasions that have disrupted aquatic ecosystems and cost billions in damages in both basins. Local cargo shippers and their allies say such a move would cause massive flooding and job losses in

the Chicago area.

The Army Corps has promised to conclude by 2015 a long-range study of methods for cutting off potential avenues for species to transfer between the two basins, including separating them by installing dams or other structures. But carrying out whatever the agency recommends could take many more years, and money will be tight. Environmental activists, state and local officials, Indian tribes and others across most of the Great Lakes region are pleading with the Corps to move faster.

Five states — Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin — are pressing a federal lawsuit that accuses the Army Corps and Chicago’s municipal water agency of operating a public nuisance and demands the quickest possible action to physically separate the Great Lakes and Mississippi systems. The attorneys general from those states and New York said in August they would try to assemble a nationwide coalition in

favor of separation.

Illinois and Indiana, the other two states adjoining the Great Lakes, haven’t joined the lawsuits. Indiana officials say blocking the waterways could cause economic problems for their communities near Chicago.

Schuette said the idea of separation has now drawn endorsements from attorneys general in Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Missouri, South Dakota, Utah, West Virginia and Wyoming.

It’s unclear what practical effect the attorneys generals’ campaign could have, with the lawsuit by the five states already pending. The U.S. Supreme Court and lower courts have refused to order the Army Corps to expedite its study or take temporary measures such as closing Chicago-area shipping locks that could provide a pathway to Lake Michigan for Asian carp.

Still, as political leaders and chief legal strategists for their state governments, the attor-

neys general could wield considerable influence, said Joel Brammeier, president of the Alliance for the Great Lakes, an environmental advocacy group.

“They’re guardians of their states’ resources and they’re helping to monitor threats from other places,” Brammeier said. “They’re well within their bounds to be pushing for a faster timeline on this because they know what’s at stake.”

Many of the states that are new members of the coalition have suffered ill effects of invasions by species such as zebra and quagga mussels, which hitched rides from central Europe to the Great Lakes in the ballast tanks of oceangoing freight ships. After colonizing the Great Lakes, they moved into the Mississippi basin and have infested waterways as far south as the Arkansas River and west to Lake Mead, which supplies water for drinking and irrigation to much of southern Nevada, southern California and Arizona.

Congregation remains faithful

BY MEREDITH HEAGNEY Associated Press COLUMBUS (AP) — If you’re going to ask God for help, it doesn’t hurt to be specific. The people at Wonderland Community Church know each other well enough to hold nothing back.

They prayed for a hospitalized member who had a blood-pressure spike that worsened her condition.

Another woman might have to have a second breast removed because of cancer. Maybe lymph nodes, too.

A worshipper in the back pew asked for help because she was having tests on her heart the next day.

“I’m going to trust God,” she said.

That’s what the congregation has been doing for decades. The church is the only remaining piece of the Wonderland subdivision, which was established in 1926 and razed in the early 1990s because of growth at Port Columbus. The neighborhood of about 75 homes along the

southbound off-ramp of I-270 at Hamilton Road began as a resort community but became impoverished.

On Sunday, Sept. 18, the church celebrated its 70th anniversary with a special service and a gospel sing.

The small whitepainted church is surrounded by runways and fields. Members drive down a long road and through a metal fence to get there.

Some of them once lived in Wonderland; some didn’t. But most have been going to the church for a long time.

They are loyal but aging, and now the biggest threat to the church’s future is not the airport but the passage of time.

Cathy Scoggin-York, 60, has belonged to the church since she was 13, minus a 17-year absence. She worries about what will happen to the church when her generation is gone.

“I’m just afraid that Wonderland’s not going to get carried on,” she said.

She found salvation as a little girl when the

2 churches debate gay issue with billboards TOLEDO (AP) — The ongoing debate in churches regarding homosexuality is being argued on 10 billboards in northwest Ohio.

The Blade reports that Toledo’s Central United Methodist church posted a single roadside billboard in April that said that being gay is a gift from God. That has led the minister at Church on Strayer to offer an opposite view.

The Maumee megachurch bought nine billboards last week proclaiming that being gay is not a gift from God. The Rev. Tony Scott of the Church on Strayer says he has been getting hate mail but that his church’s billboards are not about hate.

The Rev. Bill Barnard, Central’s pastor, says the most surprising thing to him about the Church on Strayer’s billboards was how much the the nine billboards must have cost.

Changes to child support laws arrive Wednesday COLUMBUS (AP) — Changes to Ohio’s child support laws mean that parents who pay at least half of their court-ordered support will no longer face suspension of their driver’s or professional licenses.

The Columbus Dispatch reports that the new law — which was tacked on to the restate cently-passed budget — takes effect Wednesday.

Another provision of the law will let parents scrub past child supportrelated suspensions from their driving record.

Chairman Donald Hubin of Fathers and Families of Ohio says the vast majority of child support is owed by parents who are unable, not unwilling, to pay.

Currently, a parent owing more than a month in child support can lose their driver’s or professional licenses.

State officials say more than 100,000 parents have had their licenses suspended in the last year.

NATION/WORLD BRIEFLY

Siege stepped up SIRTE, Libya (AP) — Libya’s revolutionary forces say they have stepped up a siege around Moammar Gadhafi’s hometown of Sirte to wear down his loyalist forces inside.

The fighters have set up new roadblocks and checkpoints and posted snipers at key spots on Sunday.

The move comes after a heavy push by the fighters into the edge of the downtown that failed to dislodge Gadhafi’s men inside Sirte on Saturday.

Seven fighters were killed and 150 were wounded in fierce street battles with Gadhafi’s men.

The revolutionaries took Tripoli last month, effectively ending Gadhafi’s rule and sending him into hiding. But his loyalists still hold Sirte, as well as Bani Walid and pockets in south Libya.

Officer Osama Nuttawa al-Swehli says NATO hit four targets in Sirte in pre-dawn airstrikes.

Tourist plane crashes KATMANDU, Nepal (AP) — A plane that was carrying tourists to view Mount Everest crashed while attempting to land in Nepal on Sunday, killing all 19 people on board, including 13 foreigners, officials said.

Ten Indians, two Americans and one Japanese were among the victims, Secretary Tourism Ganeshraj Joshi said.

The turboprop plane belonging to Buddha Air was also carrying three Nepalese passengers and three crew members when it crashed in Bisankunarayan village, just a few miles (kilometers) south of the capital, Katmandu.

A witness, Haribol Poudel, told Avenues Television that the plane hit the roof of a house in the village and broke into several pieces. No casualties were reported on the ground.

Poudel said it was foggy and visibility was very low in the mountainous area.

Jail or church?

BAY MINETTE, Ala. (AP) — Authorities say nonviolent offenders in southern Alabama will have a new choice: Go to jail, or go to church every Sunday for a year.

WKRG-TV reports that Operation Restore Our Community begins next week.

The city judge in Bay Minette will let misdemeanor offenders choose to work off their sentences in jail and pay a fine; or go to church every Sunday for a year.

If offenders select church, they'll be allowed to pick the place of worship but must check in weekly with the pastor and police.

If the one-year church attendance program is completed, the offender’s case will be dismissed.

Bay Minette Police Chief Mike Rowland says the program could change the lives of people heading down the wrong path. So far, 56 churches are participating.

Bullfighting banned in Catalonia

BY IAIN SULLIVAN Associated Press BARCELONA, Spain (AP) — Matadors drove the killing sword into bulls for the last time Sunday in Spain’s powerful northeastern region of Catalonia in an emotive farewell fight before a polemical regional ban on the country’s emblematic tradition takes effect.

Three of Spain’s top bullfighters, including No. 1 Jose Tomas, starred in the sold-out show at Barcelona’s 20,000seat Monumental ring. Catalan bullfighter Serafin Marin closed the fight killing the last of six bulls to great applause.

Many fans then invaded the ring to grab handfuls of sand to keep as souvenirs.

The bullfighters were later carried shoulder high from the ring into the streets outside the bullring while the crowd chanted slogans in favor of freedom and against the prohibition. A brief bout of scuffling broke out as fans confronted about 20 animal welfare activists, but there were no reports of injuries or arrests.

The fight was also preceded by moments of tension as pro-

Catalonia’s Parliament banned bullfighting in July 2010 following a signaturecollection campaign by animal rights activists. The ban does not take effect until Jan. 1, but Sunday’s fight was the last scheduled this season.

Critics say the prohibition

is less about animal welfare and more a snub to Spain by independence-minded Catalans.

Bullfighting’s popularity in Catalonia has plunged in recent decades and the Monuwas its last mental functioning ring, although the city once boasted three.

Hours before the fight, a

Nyad: Ending swim was ‘huge disappointment’

BY KELLI KENNEDY Associated Press MIAMI (AP) — Marathon swimmer Diana Nyad spent more than 40 hours in the shark-filled waters between Cuba and the Florida Keys, climbing into a boat only to be treated for searing welts left

by Portuguese man o’ war stings. Left swollen and red, Nyad had no choice but to end her trek early when medics warned another sting could be deadly.

The 62-year-old soldiered on for a time, cutting eye and mouth holes into a cap she wore over her face to protect against future stings. She surpassed 100,000 strokes, but the stings — which team members said left what looked like branding marks from the jellyfish-like creatures’ tentacles — were too much of a risk.

“I trained this hard for this big dream I had for so many years, and to think these stupid little Portuguese man o’ war take it down,” Nyad told The Associated Press, just hours after getting out of the water.

“It’s a huge disappointment.”

She said she was in the best shape of her life but was

U.S. SWIMMER Diana Nyad begins her swim from Cuba to Florida at the Hemingway Marina in Havana, Cuba, Friday. The swim was cut short after 40 hours after Nyad was stung multiple times by Portuguese man o’ war. blinded by the stings. Late Sunday morning, she heeded the warnings of experts who told her not to continue another two days in the water.

“You go into convulsions, your spine feels paralyzed. I’ve had kidney stones. Nothing compares to the pain,” Nyad said, wearing loose bandages and rehydrating with water and juice on her boat. “It just took the life force out of me.”

Her team tentatively scheduled a press conference in Key West for Monday morning.

Nyad was making her second attempt in as many months at the Cuba-Florida crossing, a lifelong dream that she first tried as a 28-year-old back in 1978, when she swam inside a steel shark cage for about 42 hours before ending the attempt. A cageless attempt this past August fell short 29 hours in when, gasping for breath, Nyad threw in the towel after an 11-hour asthma attack she blamed on a bad reaction to a new medicine.

Australian swimmer Susie Maroney successfully swam the shark-filled waters from Cuba through the Straits and to the Keys in 1997, though she used a cage. Nyad was trying to become the first to finish it without a cage.

Earlier in her latest swim, Nyad received oxygen and a steroid shot from her doctors and was treading water while she recovered from the stings.

After that, her team said in a website update that a socalled “staged swim record” would still be valid as long as she was on the boat only for treatment and not to rest — rather than a nonstop record.

Man survives four-day crawl across desert with broken leg

BY JOSH LOFTIN Associated Press SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — A North Carolina man crawled four days across the Utah desert after breaking his leg on a solo hike, inspired by a Hollywood movie about a man who cut off his own arm to save himself after being trapped by a boulder in the same canyon.

Amos Wayne Richards, 64, of Concord, N.C., is now recovering at home. He said he was inspired to hike Little Blue John Canyon after he saw the Oscar-nominated movie “127 Hours” but fell 10 feet during his trek on Sept. 8.

Canyonlands National Park rangers found Richards four days later. Along with the leg injury, he dislocated his shoulder but was able to work it back into place.

“It took me about 3 or 4 minutes to work my shoulder and get it back in place, and once I got it back in place, I stood up and realized my ankle hurt a little bit,” Richards told WBTV in Charlotte last week after his story

started getting the attention of national TV news networks.

Without cellphone service and only two protein bars to eat, Richards began crawling back to his car across the rocky terrain. He filled his water bottles with rain as he painstakingly retraced his steps, eventually dragging himself almost five miles.

“I was actually following my GPS, crawling right on top of my feet print that I had hiked in on,” Richards said.

Rangers first began looking for Richards Sept. 9 after his campsite was found unattended, said Denny Ziemann, chief ranger for Canyonlands and Arches national parks.

They discovered his car two days later at the trailhead for Little Blue John Canyon, which is part of the Canyonlands remote and rugged Maze District but technically outside park boundaries.

“The search was pretty quick and dirty” once they realized where Richards had gone hiking, Ziemann said.

Within hours, a helicopter spotted Richards — who used

the flash on his camera to catch the pilot’s attention — only a couple of miles from his car.

Richards was treated for the shattered leg and dehydration at a hospital in Moab, Utah, before returning to North Carolina to recover.

Ziemann said the result could have been much worse for Richards because he went hiking alone and without telling anybody his plans.

Temperatures in the region were in the 80s during the day and 60s at night.

“We make a lot of rescues of people, but we usually know where they are,” Ziemann said. “They were either hiking with somebody and got hurt or if they were hiking alone, they told people where they were going.”

In 2003, climber Aron Ralston hiked into the same canyon also without telling anyone his plans. He became trapped by a boulder and was forced to cut off his own arm to free himself. Ralston went on to detail his struggles in a book. His story was later adapted into “127 Hours.”

small group of anti-bullfight activists gathered outside the arena, celebrating with sparkling wine.

“Obviously a lot of political parties have tried to politicize this, but we mustn’t forget that this popular proposal sprouted from a pure pro-animal rights standpoint aimed at eradicating animal cruelty,” campaigner Soraya Gaston said.

Others hoped the prohibition might only be temporary.

“It looks like this may be the last day (of bullfights in Catalonia). But the last word hasn’t been said yet,” fan Eduardo Edurna said. “I think we will have bullfighting back in Catalonia.”

The prohibition caused a furor and triggered a nationwide debate over the centuries-old spectacle that inspired such artists and writers as Goya, Picasso and Hemingway.

“Banning bullfighting in Catalonia is nothing more than an attack on liberty,” said Carlos Nunez, president of Spain’s Mesa del Toro probullfighting umbrella group.

“It’s the fruit of policies in Catalonia against bullfighting and all that is seen to represent Spain.”

Senator recommends military action WASHINGTON (AP) — A Republican on the Senate Armed Services Committee said Sunday that the U.S. should consider military action against Pakistan if it continues to support terrorist attacks against American troops in Afghanistan.

“The sovereign nation of Pakistan is engaging in hostile acts against the United and our ally States Afghanistan that must cease, Sen. Lindsey Graham told “Fox News Sunday.”

He said if experts decided that the U.S. needs to “elevate its response,” he was confident there would be strong bipartisan support in Congress for such action.

Graham did not call for military action but said “all options” should be considered.

He said assistance to Pakistan should be reconfigured and that the U.S. should no longer designate an amount of aid for Pakistan but have a more “transactional relationship” with the country.

“They’re killing American soldiers,” he said. “If they continue to embrace terrorism as a part of their national strategy, we’re going to have to put all options on the table, including defending our troops.”

In testimony last week to Graham’s committee, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Adm. Mike Mullen, said Pakistan’s powerful intelligence agency had backed extremists in planning and executing the assault on the U.S. Embassy in Afghanistan and a truck bomb attack that wounded 77 American soldiers. Both occurred this month.

Mullen contended that the Haqqani insurgent network “acts as a veritable arm” of Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence agency as it undermined U.S.-Pakistan relations, already tenuous because of the war in Afghanistan. Pakistan exports violence, Mullen said, and threatens any success in the 10-year-old war.

Graham said Pakistan does cooperate with the U.S. in actions against al-Qaida. But he said the Pakistani military feels threatened by a democracy in Afghanistan and is betting that the Taliban will come back there.

“The best solution is for Pakistan to fight all forms of terrorism, embrace working with us so that we can deal with terrorism along their border, because it is the biggest threat to stability,” he said. “But Pakistan is terrorism itself. They have made a tremendous miscalculation.”

Cavs cruise to 2nd straight Gilardi scores four touchdowns in 38-6 conference win

BY ROB KISER Ohio Community Media

Dontrelle Willis

Willis finally gets win as a Red PITTSBURGH (AP) — Dontrelle Willis took matters into his own hands to break loose after three months of frustration and end 2011 on a high note.

The veteran left-hander scattered three hits over six innings and smacked a tworun double to lead the Cincinnati Reds past the Pittsburgh Pirates 5-4 on Sunday.

“The guys really battled for me today,” Willis said. “They knew it was my last start and the way I pitched poorly the last start I wanted to finish the season with confidence.

We went out there and played a good game.”

Willis (1-6) gave up three runs, walked two and struck out six to collect his first victory in the majors since beating the Colorado Rockies while pitching for Arizona on June 5, 2010.

The road back to the win column has been bumpy.

Willis pitched well enough in Triple-A Louisville to earn a callup from the Reds in July.

He impressed early on but was undone by a bullpen that blew three saves in his first five starts.

On his 13th and final start of the year it nearly happened again.

Francisco Cordero gave up a run-scoring double to Neil Walker with one out in the ninth before retiring the next two batters for his 35th save.

The Reds gave Willis the customary beer shower postgame after the 29-yearold battled through cramps and shook off a rough second inning to help Cincinnati avoid a three-game sweep.

“I felt like I was playing good baseball up until my last start,” Willis said. “Everybody’s tired but everybody continues to push on.”

Pittsburgh’s Chase d’Arnaud had two hits, including a two-run triple, the Pirates couldn’t send the largest crowd to see a home finale in PNC Park history into the offseason with a win.

“The finish today, we were one run short and that’s the way it’s been more often than not the last 50 games,” Pittsburgh manager Clint Hurdle said. “I’m proud of the effort, but we’ve got to work on execution.”

Daniel Moskos (1-1) took the loss in relief of starter James McDonald.

PIQUA — Lehman and Troy Christian are two young Metro Buckeye Conference teams looking to continue to take steps forward.

And Saturday night at Alexander Stadium/Purk Field, both did exactly that — although Lehman certainly took the biggest step in a 38-6 win.

“It was another step forward,” Lehman coach Dick Roll said. “We did a lot of good things.”

Lehman got off to a fast start and never let up.

On the first play, Andrew Gilardi broke through the line of scrimmage and went 50yards to the Eagles 12.

And after two penalties put Lehman in a third-and-29 from the 31, quarterback Dan Davis found Greg Spearman for 27 yards and on fourthand-two from the four, he connected with Joe Vondenhuevel for the touchdown to make it 7-0.

Lehman would go on to score on every possession in the first half, except the final one, when they chose to let the clock run out with the ball on the Eagle 3.

The next four touchdowns were produced by Gilardi, on

back Tyler Shinall.

While Troy Christian had just 11 yards rushing in the game, the two connected nine times in the passing game for 121 yards, with 114 of that coming in the final two quarters.

Lehman’s only score after the break came on a sevenyard run by Davis, with Vondenhuevel kicking his second PAT of the night.

To go with his four TDs, Gilardi rushed for 145 yards on 16 carries to lead the Lehman offense.

Andrew Westerheide led the Cavalier receivers, catching five balls for 50 yards.

Lehman, 2-3, will travel to Upper Scioto Valley Friday.

“We have got some tougher games coming up,” Roll said.

“We have to keep getting better.”

Bucks win, Big Ten next

BY TONY ARNOLD With the Big Ten season on deck, Ohio State picked up a little bit of momentum with a convincing victory over Colorado.

However, to be perfectly candid, the general feeling around the Horseshoe was that the Buffaloes were a poor excuse for a measuring stick.

Colorado, a bottom tier team from the Pac 12, may have a long season ahead of them.

The Buffs haven’t won on the road since Oct. 27, 2007.

Few could argue that next week’s Big Ten opener against Michigan State and the following week’s game against conference newcomer Nebraska will reveal quite a bit more about OSU. A long list of offseason Buckeye issues and suspensions, combined with the flop at Miami, have put Ohio State on the chopping block of public opinion and knocked them out of the top 25 for the first time in seven years.

Scoreboard watchers also noticed that last week’s opponent – the Miami Hurricanes – fell victim to Kansas State 28-24.

However, an easy victory filled with splashes of progress and plenty of things Ohio State can build upon has pointed the Buckeyes in the right direction.

“We had to play with some emotion,” said Ohio State coach Luke Fickell. “We wanted to get back home and get that feel of emotion, get those guys on the sideline, get the students into it. That’s what we saw out there today, from the beginning of the game really all the way to the end.”

OHIO STATE quarterback Braxton Miller, who played his high school ball at Wayne, follows the blocking of teammate Zach Boren for yards against Colorado Saturday in Columbus.

What to make of Ohio State now? Consider it gut-check time. The Buckeyes, who have dominated the Big Ten for the better part of a decade, will receive everyone’s “A-Game” as they navigate through the conference.

Sidney Daily News, Monday, September 26, 2011

McCoy saves best for last in 17-16 win CLEVELAND (AP) — Colt McCoy saved his best moments for last.

McCoy threw a 14-yard touchdown pass to Mohamed Massaquoi with 43 seconds left, capping an 80-yard drive in the final minutes to rally the Cleveland Browns to a 17-16 win Sunday over winless Miami, a loss that will bring even more heat on embattled Dolphins coach Tony Sparano.

McCoy completed nine of 13 passes for all 80 yards on Cleveland’s final drive, making up for an otherwise lackluster and inaccurate performance. On third-and-5, McCoy pump faked before lofting a perfect pass to the right corner over rookie cornerback Jimmy Wilson to a leaping Massaquoi.

The Browns (2-1) then withstood a late comeback attempt as safety Mike Adams intercepted Miami’s Chad Henne with 13 seconds left.

“Holy smokes,” Browns coach Pat Shurmur said afterward.

With two road games upcoming, the Dolphins (0-3) needed a win to take pressure off Sparano, who has been under fire from disgruntled Miami fans.

Dan Carpenter’s 38-yard field goal put the Dolphins up 16-10, giving McCoy the ball with 3:23 left. And, based on the way he was playing, the Browns chances didn’t appear good.

But the second-year quarterback, who was just 10 of 26 for 130 yards at the time, skillfully took the Browns down the field with mostly short passes — three to rookie wide receiver Greg Little, who hadn’t caught a pass all day. McCoy showed poise in the pocket under pressure from Miami’s defensive line.

On his winning TD pass, McCoy’s ball initially looked like it might be short, but the ball sailed just over Wilson’s outstretched hands and into Massaquoi’s.

CLEVELAND BROWNS wide receiver Mohamed Massaquoi flips the ball away after a 14-yard touchdown catch against the Miami Dolphins in the final minute Sunday in Cleveland.

Cleveland’s crowd erupted, but Browns fans were soon holding their breath. Massaquoi and teammate Ben Watson were penalized for excessive celebration after the TD, and Cleveland was then flagged for a horse-collar tackle on the ensuing kickoff.

Henne took over near midfield, but Miami’s QB threw three straight incompletions before he was picked by Adams.

McCoy finished 19 of 39 for 210 yards and two TDs — not pretty, but a win.

The Browns had to adjust their game plan after star running back Peyton Hillis was scratched with a case of strep throat. Montario Hardesty started and finished with 67 yards.

CINCINNATI BENGALS wide receiver Jerome Simpson (89) runs downfield against San Francisco.

43,363 fans at 65,500seat Paul Brown Stadium, the Bengals’ smallest crowd for a

home opener since they played at Riverfront Stadium in 1981. Cincinnati (1-2) was limited to a pair of field goals by Mike Nugent during rookie quarterback Andy Dalton’s first dismal performance. He threw two interceptions in the fourth quarter, the first of his career.

The 49ers sent that small crowd heading for the exits when Reggie Smith intercepted Dalton’s throw with 1:45 left.

“We started fast, which is what you come out to do,” said Dalton, who led the Bengals to an opening field goal.

“We were flat after that.

We couldn’t do the things we wanted to do.”

David Akers kicked three field goals for San Francisco, including a 53-yarder after Dalton’s first interception, pushing the lead to 13-6.

CINCINNATI (AP) — One game into their weeklong trip, the San Francisco 49ers already have a very nice gift to take home and put on the shelf.

And they’ve left room in the suitcase for one more.

Kendall Hunter ran 7 yards for the game’s only touchdown with 3:59 to go Sunday, rallying the 49ers to a 13-8 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals that began their extended stay in the Buckeye State on an upbeat note.

The 49ers (2-1) haven’t had many wins on East Coast time lately, and it looked like they’d forgotten to pack their West Coast offense. San Francisco didn’t even cross midfield for the first time until midway through the third quarter.

Trailing 6-3, the 49ers put together their only drive of the game for the winning score, stunning the smallest crowd for a Bengals home opener in 30 years.

Now, there’s something to write home about.

“To become that type of team that wins on the road and take that next step, you have to win like this,” said Alex Smith, who was 4 of 5 for 48 yards on the winning drive. “I think guys were frustrated, but in a good way. They were frustrated and fired up.

They wanted the ball back.

“That was different. A lot of times, I’ve been on teams where it’s kind of, ‘Here we go again,’ and this is a lot different.”

It was a satisfying start to the 49ers’ visit to Ohio. They’ll practice at Youngstown State the next few days, then head to Philadelphia for their next game.

What do they think so far?

“It’s a lot different over here,” Hunter said.

Sure is. In a lot of ways.

choose the best program accordingly.

The second step was alluded to in the previous paragraph. Next year’s crop will determine this fall’s herbicide or vice versa. According to Dr. Mark Loux, OSU Weed Management Specialist, herbicides like Basis, simazine, and Autumn will work for ground going into corn if they are paired with 2,4D. For soybeans Canopy, metribuzin, and Autumn with 2,4-D will control many winter annuals. If the crop for next year is undecided glyphosate + 2,4-D is an excellent option. It has excellent activity on most winter annuals and perennials without having residual

activity into the spring.

The third step to a successful program is timing of application. Control of many winter annuals can be achieved much later than most of us think.

Applications made in mid November can be effective. There are several points to consider to maximize the effectiveness of the control measure. You must be able to see the weed to control it. Snow cover will prevent the herbicide from contacting the weed which will prevent uptake. Avoid applying herbicides after drastic changes in temperature. Warming and cooling events that change temperatures 10 to 15 degrees can stress weeds and prevent herbi-

VETERANS service during the Korean War. The veterans and Koreans joined together for photos — a lasting piece of history which began more than 60 years ago.

The Koreans placed two wreaths at the Korean War Memorial — one from the National Assembly of the Republic of Korea and the other from Bahk Jaewan, minster of Strategy and Finance for Korea.

“They all thanked us for our service,” said Warren Loy, of Huntsville.

“I thought it was great that they were here,” said Richard Burch, of Bradford, who served during the Korean War. “It shows that they appreciate us and that the (Korean) government appreciates us.”

Ralph Hughes, of Huntsville, said that was the second time he shook the hand of a second star general.

“The ambassador also shook my hand,” said Hughes.

“I was really impressed that they even did it,” said Burch. “I appreciate them for coming over here.”

After watching their Korean ceremony, shaking hands with the officials and having photos taken, the U.S. Veterans held their own wreath laying ceremony, Mike Bennett, chairman of the Shelby County Vets to D.C. committee, recalled the sacrifices made by the veterans and their families. The names of all Shelby County residents killed in Korea were read during the ceremony.

The wreaths were placed at the memorial

by Glenn Thompson and Donald Rump.

After visiting the Lincoln Memorial and Vietnam Wall, the group made the walk to the World War II memorial where another wreath laying ceremony was held. Richard Sailor, of Jackson Center, and David Allison, of DeGraff, placed the wreath beneath the Ohio pillar at the memorial.

“I’d like to do it

again,” said Raymond Titus, of Bellefontaine, a WWII veteran. “I really enjoyed the trip.”

Titus said two fellow soldiers from his unit came on the trip last year and encouraged him to visit the memorial.

For Sailor, the visit to the WWII memorial was bittersweet. His brother, Robert Sailor, was killed during the war. His name, along with other county residents killed in WWII, were also read during the ceremony.

“He was two years older then me,” said Sailor.

He was encouraged to come on the trip by Steve Fark, who is a friend of Bennett.

“He prodded me to come on the trip,” said Sailor. “This has been a fantastic trip. I was really impressed with the World War II memorial.”

Sailor said he was impressed with all the people — both young and old — who shook his hand and thanked him for his service to his country.

His wife, Marcile, said she was impressed with all the Sidney students who stood int the rain Friday morning to wave to the veterans as they left the Shelby County Fairgrounds.

Titus said the soldiers who fought during the early years of WWII experienced many things the ones who were drafter later didn’t.

“A friend baled out his plane. He was a prisoner of war for three years,” said Titus.

Veteran Doug Gossman, of Huntsville, said the the trip was fantastic. During the tour of Arlington National Cemetery, he said he was surprised at how many veterans had been buried there.

“We were here (D.C.) 50 years ago. We didn’t take a tour and saw a few of the graves.”

He said he really liked the Korean War memorial with the walls etched with the faces of the men and women of the war, along with the solders on maneuvers.

He also liked the Air Force Memorial with the

Korean War veterans going to D.C. were Paul Brandewie, of Sidney, Army; John Mann, of Sidney, Air Force; Richard “Dick” Burch, of Bradford, Bradford; Robert Byerly, of Fletcher, Navy; Lewis “Louie” Erb, of Wapakoneta, Army; Douglas “Doug” Gossman, of Huntsville, Air Force; Howard House, of New Hampshire, Army; Vernon Huber, of Maria Stein, Air Force; Lester Kemper, of Celina, Army; John Lange Jr., of Huntsville, Army; George Ruck, of Wapakoneta, Army; Glenn Thompson, of Columbus, Navy; Raymond Gilmore, of Piqua, Air Force; Norman Platfoot, of Anna, Air Force; Donald Rump, of Sidney, Navy; Jack West, of Sidney, Air Force; Jack Acheson, of Wapakoneta, Air Force; Norbert Albers, of Celina, Air Force; Sylvester “Ves” Broerman, of Minster, Air Force; Charles “Elmer” Easton, of DeGraff, Air Force; Ralph Hughes, of Huntsville, Army; Richard Kiel, of St. Marys, Air Force; Chester “Chet” Marker, of Bellefontane, Army; Cyril Thobe, of Chickasaw, Army; and Rolland Griner, of Minster, Air Force. “planes” spiraling toward the sky.

Lew and Juanita of WaSwanbeck, pakoneta, were visited at the memorials by their grandson, Larry Swanbeck Jr., who traveled 10 hours from Georgia to be with his grandparents, and their nephew and his wife, Marke and Penny Gibson. The younger Swanbeck served 17 years in the Marines and Army.

Gibson recently retired from the Air Force as a two-star general.

Loy complimented the organizers of the trip.

“I give an A-plus to all of you,” said Loy. “Every veteran treated us like royalty,” said Thompson. “I want to thank them very much. This weekend will live in my heart forever.”

Rump, who celebrated his birthday Saturday, said he was impressed with the wreath laying ceremony at both memorials.

“You guys are heroes to a lot of people around the world,” said Bennett.

“It’s chilling to think about it.”

Loy said he had a group of eight or nine young men approach him to have their picture taken with them.

products like soft drinks, baked goods, energy bars and many candies.

So why all the fuss?

People have increased their consumption of high-fructose corn syrup foods and drinks to such an extent that they have become a main source of their calorie intake.

Some feel it is the reason that the obesity epidemic has struck North America. Like other sugars, it has a high glycemic index, meaning that it produces high spikes in blood sugar, which may lead to problems like diabetes. Excessive amounts cause fat accumulation in the liver.

One 12-ounce can of most soft drinks has the equivalent of 10 teaspoons of sugar, 150

calories — a large sugar load and a large calorie load. The average American drinks 36 gallons of soft drinks in a year. It contributes to the girth expansion of Americans, but it’s not the only factor. Blaming high-fructose corn syrup for all the ills of people is too extreme. All the same, it does add to the obesity surge, and it does have all the negatives that ordinary table sugar has, like dental decay and empty calories — calories without any other nutrients. The government allows it because, in moderation, it’s not a danger to health.

I can’t find any information on “condensed” corn syrup, and believe me I have looked hard.

I don’t know the circumstances of your divorce, but if they were hurtful, it is not uncommon for the injured party to “become invisible” until he or she heals enough to once again send out “available and interested” vibes. You say you’re not quite there yet, which may be why you’re not attracting any interest.

While your schedule is so full — unless you meet someone at school or through your job — your love life may have to stay on hold until you can squeeze it in.

CAUTION

In Loving Memory of

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.

Who passed away 5 years ago on September 24th

Do not stand at my grave and weep, I am not there. I do not sleep.

I am a thousand winds that blow.

I am a diamond glints in snow.

I am the sunlight on ripened grain.

I am the gentle autumn rain.

When you awaken in the morning’s hush I am the swift uplifting rush Of quiet bird in circled flight.

I am the soft stars that shine at night Do not stand at may grave and cry; I am not there. I did not die.

Safe Talking in Cyberspace One of Michael’s favorite activities is visiting a Web site where he plays games. He also visits a chat room to swap game tips and learn new gaming strategies.

One day he chats with someone called “Gamester13.” They trade game tips, and after a while the conversation turns to other subjects. It turns out they both like science fiction books. They also saw and liked the same movie recently.

After about 30 minutes of chat,

Publisher Scramble: cyberspace

“Gamester13” asks, “Do you like to play sports?”

Michael answers, “Yes.” Gamester13 asks, “Which sport do you like best?”

“Soccer,” Michael replies. Gamester13 then asks, “What’s the name of your team?”

Before Michael can answer, Gamester13 says, “Gotta go. My boss is coming.”

Michael is surprised and upset.

Worried, he stays away from cyber-

space for a few days.

Michael believed hew was talking to a boy his own age.

Michael’s team is called the Tenafly Tigers. Tenafly is the name of the town he lives in.

Test Yourself 1. What made Micheal believe that he was talking to someone his own age?

2. Why should Michael not give out the name of his soccer team?

3. What should Michael do when he feels uncomfortable in cyberspace?

What would you do?

Michael was very upset when he realized that “Gamester13” was not a 13-year old but a grown-up with a job. People in cyberspace aren’t always who you think they are. Maybe “Gamester13” was pretending to be a kid. Maybe he was up to no good. Then, again, maybe he just likes to play online games for fun. The point is, with strangers in cyberspace, you can’t be sure.

Did You Know?

Dealing With Online Bullies What would you do?

For the 10th day in a row, Andrew opens an email that says, “I’m getting closer.” Doesn’t recognize the sender’s address. He wonders if someone at school is trying to scare him. On the other hand, it could be a stranger.

Whatever the source, Andrew is scared. The next afternoon, Andrew is home alone. The emails come every few minutes. “I’m hiding in your house using a wireless Internet connection. You’ll never find me. But I’ll find you.”

Frozen with fear, Andrew can’t think what to do. If he called for advice what would you tell him?

Sondra is planning a slumber party to celebrate her birthday. Her parents have a set limit of eight girls, so Sondra can’t invite everyone she’d like. Two girls who are left out overhear the plans. Angry, they plan their revenge.

The girls make a “We Hate Sondra Jones” group on a social networking site. They say that anyone invited to the party should not go. They tell everyone in school the group’s address. The girls invite everyone to add new reasons why they hat Sondra and to spread ugly rumors about her.

When Sondra hears about the group address, she gets a sick feeling in her stomach. Unable to ignore it, she checks the site often.

Each day she finds a new nasty comment or joke about her. She feels hurt and powerless to defend herself. Sondra is too embarrassed to go to school and tells her parents she is sick.

Take Action!

Both Sondra and Andrew are the targets of online bullies. Whether bullies are face to face or in cyber-

space, they feel powerful when they bother other people. They may use hurtful words or threaten.

Online or off, bullying is meant to make you feel uncomfortable.

Usually, online bullying does not cross over into real life, but it can.

Wither way, it’s upsetting.

Bullying should not be tolerated, whether in school or in cyberspace. Trust your uncomfortable feelings — they mean something is wrong.

Here is what to do about it.

• Sign off the computer.

A Few Words About Passwords You might have a password to use on a school computer or use for email. Passwords protect you.

Without a password, no one can pretend to be you. So don’t share your passwords with other kids — only with your parents. And never give your password in cyberspace.

Even if someone says “Please!”

What’s Private?

• full (first and last) name • street address • name of school • school address • email address • phone numbers • passwords • calling card number • mother’s maiden name • parent’s place of work • photos in which you can be recognized

Email Dos and Don’ts • Do get right to the point and keep your message to one screen. People who get tons of messages every day will thank you. Also, it is okay to skip the “Dear” part in emails.

• Don’t TYPE WHOLE SENTENCES IN UPPERCASE letters. It is like SHOUTING. • Do use uppercase once in a while to emphasize a single word.

• Do check your spelling, grammar, and punctuation before sending an email.

• Do use smileys, also known as emoticons. These symbols help people understand your meaning when they can’t see your face or hear your voice.

• Don’t write a message that you would not want everyone to see.

Although it is bad manners, somebody might forward your message to others.

• Do write only what you would say to a person’s face.

• Don’t use slang or rude language.

• Do type your first name at the end of your message.

• Don’t send angry messages back and forth. That’s called a flame war and it is considered bad manners.

Forgive others for their bad manners and set a good example for yourself.

Smileys :-) means you are smiling :-( means you are frowning ;-) means you are winking and just kidding :-D means you are laughing

uncomfortable — causing discomfort or distress; irritating; painful

BYCRSCPAEE Chat Room Safety Checklist Have you ever had to make a choice about doing the ‘right thing’?

My parents say it’s okay for me to chat in cyberspace.

I will only go into chat rooms for kids that have monitors.

I will never reply to, or click on a link in an IM from someone who is not a face-to-face friend.

If it’s not right to bully someone you meet at the playground... what about bullying someone you meet in cyberspace?

OK NOT OK

If it’s not right to write bad language on the sidewalk in front of your home... what about using bad language on your personal Web page?

OK NOT OK

If it’s not right to tear pages out of a library book... what about deleting a few pages from someone’s computer file?

OK NOT OK

I will not give out my private information when chatting.

If it’s not right to break into someone’s home and mess up the papers on the owner’s desk... what about breaking into a computer and messing up the files?

OK NOT OK

I will tell a trusted adult if someone bothers me in cyberspace.

If it’s not right to watch someone unlock their locker and then open it yourself... what about watching someone use their password and then use it yourself?

OK NOT OK

If it’s not right to enter someone’s home “just to look around”... what about entering someone else’s computer “just to look around?”

OK NOT OK

My screen name does not tell my name, age, or whether I am a boy or girl.

I know what kinds of information are private.

I will not answer questions that make me uncomfortable.

I will never meet someone face to face that I met in a chat room.
