Sex offenders busted

BY JENNIFER BUMGARNER jbumgarner@sdnccg.com Members of the Shelby County Sheriff ’s Office, US Marshal’s Office, Jackson Center Police Department, Shelby County Adult Probation Office and the state of Ohio Parole Office performed compliancy checks on all sex offenders in Shelby County.

The checks were part of a continued effort by the Sheriff ’s Office to ensure that offenders are compliant with the law. This type of check is something that the county hasn’t done on this scale.

“This is the first time we’ve done something like this,” said Lt. Jim Frye. “We haven’t done anything like this, not at this level.”

The countywide check had been scheduled for over two months and the U.S. MarSDN Photo/Jennifer Bumgarner shal’s Office is providing as- For photo reprints, visit www.sidneydailynews.com sistance in grant funding.

School officials discuss district’s Kimpel future at Port Jefferson meeting enters ‘not

BY JENNIFER BUMGARNER jbumgarner@sdnccg.com PORT JEFFERSON — Very few residents of Port Jefferson attended an informational meeting Monday night with Sidney City Schools officials.

There were only eight people at the meeting, which was held in the Port Jefferson Community Hall. Superintendent John Scheu spoke to the group about improving relations between the community and the school district.

“This isn’t the most conducive night for a meeting,” said Scheu. “This will hopefully strengthen the relationship and ties between the school district and Port Jefferson and the surrounding communities.”

There were people at the meeting from the various school buildings. Those representing the school were Scheu; Gene Gooding, high school principal; Jason McClain, assistant high school principal; Board of Education President Melanie Cook; Jon Geuy, middle school principal; and Greg Johnson, North-

wood Elementary School principal. Port Jefferson Mayor Steve Butterfield also attended the meeting.

Cook addressed the group about the goals that the school district is working to achieve, which are maintaining fiscal stability, academic improvement, marketing Sidney City Schools and maintaining stability in the staff.

The district has instituted more than $6 million in cuts over the last few years, and Scheu and Cook both stressed that the district understands it cannot ask the voters for a levy for the next several years and the importance of continuing to exhibit fiscal responsibility.

Part of the fiscal responsibility Scheu pointed out is the new contract with the Sidney Education Association. The contract, which will span four years, calls for a nearly 6 percent salary and fringe benefit reduction across the board in the first year and a complete freeze on all steps in years two through four. This includes a 2.75 percent salary reduction in year one of the contract, followed by a freeze at the reduced rate in the remainSee SCHOOL/Page 4A

Empty hallways at OSU Extension Bender, Leong retire; Zimpfer released from job

BY RACHEL LLOYD rlloyd@sdnccg.com The hallways at the local OSU Extension office have become suddenly much emptier as the three of the five staff members have quietly drifted away.

Extension Educator for Agriculture and Natural Resources Roger Bender announced his retirement, effective Aug. 31, in a surprising final Ag Update column in this newspaper Sept. 5.

Pam Leong, Extension educator for Family and Consumer Sciences, and recently appointed director of the local agency, last spoke to the newspaper on Aug. 17, in response to questions about

possible reorganization at the office. At that time, she said by email that the county directors were to meet Aug. 30 for an “administrative update.” She also retired effective Aug. 31.

County Commissioner Larry Kleinhans confirmed these two staff changes at the office, noting that both Bender and Leong had “opted to take what they call ‘early separation.’” Kleinhans also confirmed that Raci Zimpfer, Extension program assistant for 4-H Youth Development, “was released from her position” Sept. 20.

“Now we’re into a reorganization,” Kleinhans said.

Currently remaining in the office are Vicky Cordonnier, Extension program assistant for the Family and Nutrition Program, and Anita Barker, Extension office associate.

SCHOOL ing years of the contract.

Additionally, staff members will have a significant increase in their insurance costs, rising from the current 9 percent out-of-pocket costs to 20 percent, according to the new contract. Teachers will also have two furlough, or unpaid, days in their work schedule.

The school is also working hard on academic improvement. The district will be working to improve upon this rating, boosting test scores and working to achieve an “excellent” rating in the future.

Cook spoke to the group about the importance of marketing the district to the public and sharing the good stories about the school.

“There have been plenty of rumors in the past couple of years and a simple phone call to the Board of Education office more than likely would get all of those answered,” said Cook. “We prefer community members know the truth. There’s no need for you not to know the truth.”

Cook also addressed the reduction in staff

SIDNEY SUPERINTENDENT John Scheu talks during a Sidney City Schools meeting in Port Jefferson Monday night. members at the district.

Stability in staff is one of the goals that the district believes is very important.

Across the board in every department, the district has reduced 45 positions, according to Cook.

“People wonder why do we keep asking people for more money,” said Cook.

“I would go through the list of cuts but I can hardly go through the list without crying for what

we’ve done to our school district.”

Scheu and Gooding also spoke about the possibility of having vocational agriculture courses available at the district.

“The reason this would be beneficial to the high school is because this would be in partnership with the Upper Valley Career Center,” said Gooding. “The Career Center would provide a lot of the

resources and a lot of the funding for the programs.”

Gooding has already met with the superintendent of the Career Center and is working with the district to see if there is any interest in having the program.

There were questions about the policy of rehiring teachers who have retired. Both Gooding and Scheu responded to the

office of the public official.” A decision is expected within two weeks.

Kimpel, along with Sheriff’s Capt. Michael

Eilerman, are also the subjects of a civil lawsuit filed by Van Fossen in federal court. Van Fossen made a number of claims,

including harassment, intimidation and being subjected to a hostile work environment. A meeting regarding medi-

KIMPEL Kimpel, 57, of the Botkins area, was indicted Sept. 20 by an Auglaize County grand jury on one count of sexual battery, a third-degree felony. He was arrested Sept. 21 at the Shelby County Sheriff’s Office by Auglaize County Sheriff’s deputies and booked into the Auglaize County Jail.

Bond of $100,000 was imposed and he was freed later that day after posting 10 percent of that sum, or $10,000.

The charge against Kimpel is punishable by up to five years in prison and/or a $10,000 fine.

Kimpel returned to office Sept. 22, although he is not allowed to carry a gun. He has refused to resign from office, in spite of demands by the Shelby County Republican party that he step aside. Kimpel is a Republican.

The charge against Kimpel stems from an investigation by the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation and Identification and Miami County Prosecutor Gary Nasal’s office. Nasal is special prosecutor in the case.

Former Deputy Van Fossen claimed that on July 24, 2010, Kimpel sexually assaulted her at her home in Auglaize County.

Van Fossen said she was intoxicated at the time and in no condition to consent to the alleged act.

Kimpel was released on the condition he not leave the state without written permission of the court; cannot have any contact directly or indirectly with Van Fossen and must be in contact with his attorney once each week.

Kimpel has also been ordered by the court to be examined by a physician, at his own expense, to see if he has any venereal diseases.

If Kimpel is convicted of sexual battery, he reportedly will have to register as a sexual offender.

Nasal has filed a request with the Ohio Supreme Court and the Ohio Attorney General’s office seeking Kimpel’s suspension from office pending outcome of the case.

The ORC allows the prosecutor to request that a public official’s term be suspended if the prosecutor feels that “the felony relates to the public official’s administration of, or conduct in the performance of the duties of, the

questions by describing the kinds of positions for which teachers who have retired have been rehired.

“That’s an issue that the board has discussed and I think that the issue quite frankly is that there are very hard-to-get areas such as a chemistry teacher, such as upperlevel math teachers,” said Scheu. “For those hard-toget positions, the board wants to hire the best person qualified for the position.”

For some of the upperlevel courses, teachers must have a master’s degree in the field of study in order to teach, according to Scheu. These courses provide advanced-placement credit and also serve as dual-enrollment courses and teachers qualified to teach have to have furthered their education.

Scheu ended the meeting by expressing that he would like to have more meetings in the future with other community members in the area to answer questions and talk about the state of the Sidney City School District.

According to Sgt. Mike Wick, the assistance helped reduce the costs for the county to perform the checks.

“This event was done without cost to our office,” said Wick. “There was a little overtime and that will be covered through the grant funding.”

There was at least one arrest made on Tuesday during the sweep. Billy Joe Sellers, 25, 409 Michigan St. was arrested following a search of his residence. He was arrested for a probation violation and booked into the Shelby County Jail.

Officers allegedly found pornographic material in his home.

Overall there were several checks done by different teams throughout the day. People who were unavailable during the checks were left notices to contact the Sheriff’s Office. According to Wick, 10 to 12 percent of offenders nationally are non-compliant.

“It’s a proactive approach to an issue where offenders move and are out-of-compliance without the Sheriff’s Office knowledge,” said Wick.

Obama: Pass my jobs bill

BRIEFLY

Dems plan challenge COLUMBUS (AP) — Ohio’s Democratic chairman says the party is preparing to ask the Ohio Supreme Court to weigh in on a last-minute legislative maneuver by Republicans intended to shield Ohio’s new congressional map from a ballot challenge.

Chris Redfern said Tuesday the party wants the high court to decide whether lawmakers acted legally when they added an appropriation to the redistricting bill as it neared approval last week. Bills with such a monetary component are immune from repeal under Ohio’s Constitution.

However, the Supreme Court ruled in a high-profile 2009 case that a group challenging then-Democratic Gov. Ted Strickland’s plan to legalize racetrack slots had a right to challenge the plan even though it was part of a state budget bill filled with such spending directives.

Arnold may find its way to Ohio COLUMBUS (AP) — A 9-foot, 580-pound bronze statue of actor and formerCalifornia Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger could find itself in Ohio’s capital city next March.

The owner of the Oregon foundry casting the sculpture tells The Columbus Dispatch that a statue is slated for Columbus and could be ready for the Arnold Sports Festival, which is scheduled for March 1-4.

The festival was cofounded by Schwarzenegger and central Ohio business Jim Lorimer as a one-day bodybuilding competition, eventually expanding to four days and multiple sports.

Trial begins LOS ANGELES (AP) — First, prosecutors showed a photo of Michael Jackson’s pale and lifeless body lying on a gurney. Then, they played a recording of his voice, just weeks before his death.

Slow and slurred, his words echoed Tuesday through a Los Angeles courtroom at the start of the trial of the doctor accused of killing him. As a worldwide audience watched on TV and Jackson’s family looked on from inside the courtroom, a drugged Jackson said: “We have to be phenomenal. When people leave this show, when people leave my show, I want them to say, ‘I’ve never seen nothing like this in my life. Go. Go. I’ve never seen nothing like this. Go. It’s amazing. He’s the greatest entertainer in the world.’”

OUT OF THE BLUE

Luggage was fishy ATLANTA (AP) — Police say a bomb squad called to the world’s busiest airport found something fishy about the unclaimed luggage at Atlanta’s international airport — spicy fish wrapped up in aluminum foil.

Baggage handlers going through unclaimed luggage Monday thought something was amiss and called police.

Broadcaster WSB-TV reports that the Atlanta Police Department shut down about half of the baggage claim area for an hour and ordered passengers to stand back 200 feet.

QAZI HUSSAIN Ahmed, leader of Pakistani religious party Jamat-i-Islami , addresses his supporters as he leads an anti-American rally to the Pakistani tribal area of Khyber, at an outskirts of Peshawar, Pakistan on Tuesday. Pakistan lashed out at the U.S. for accusing the country’s most powerful intelligence agency of supporting extremist attacks against American targets in Afghanistan — the most serious allegations against Islamabad since the beginning of the Afghan war.

U.S. missile strike kills 3 in northwest Pakistan DERA ISMAIL KHAN, Pakistan (AP) — An American drone fired two missiles at a house in a northwestern tribal region near the Afghan border Tuesday, killing three people, Pakistani intelligence officials said.

The two officials said some people were also wounded in the strike near the town of Wana in South Waziristan.

They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to brief reporters.

Washington has fired scores of missiles into northwest Pakistan since 2008 to target Taliban and al-Qaidalinked operatives. Some have hit their intended targets, while others have also killed civilians The latest strike comes at a time of heightened tensions

between Washington and Islamabad following a recent claim by top U.S. military officer, Adm. Mike Mullen, that Pakistan’s main spy agency backed militants who carried out attacks against American targets in Afghanistan.

Pakistani officials have denied the allegations and said Washington is trying to use Pakistan as a scapegoat for its troubled war in Afghanistan.

In a bid to beef up ties with other world powers, Pakistani leaders met with visiting Chinese Public Security Minister Meng Jianzhu in Islamabad on Tuesday.

China has helped Pakistan bolster its defense.

Pakistan’s interior minister vowed to attack Chinese militants hiding out in his countribal region, an try’s apparent attempt to curry

favor with China at a time when its alliance with the U.S. is severely strained.

He relayed the strong show of support for Beijing after a meeting in Islamabad with Meng. Rehman Malik said earlier on Sunday that Islamabad had killed or extradited several Chinese militants, but didn’t say when or from where.

Some Pakistani officials hope that China can fill the diplomatic and economic void if Washington decides to sever or downgrade ties with Islamabad.

Pakistani Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani heaped praise on China, saying the friendship between the two countries was “higher than mountains, deeper than oceans, stronger than steel and sweeter than honey.”

Merkel: Germany wants ‘strong Greece’ in eurozone BERLIN (AP) — Stock markets soared around the world Tuesday amid hopes that Europe is finally finding a way out of its debt crisis. Greece passed an unpopular property tax and German Chancellor Angela Merkel pledged to offer the struggling country “all necessary assistance.”

It’s unclear whether that will be enough to satisfy investors for long. Stocks improved following last week’s turmoil as speculation grew that Greece’s bailout creditors will look to impose bigger losses on Greece’s private bondholders as well as recapitalize Europe’s banks and expand the eurozone’s rescue fund. So far, there’s been no confirmation from Europe’s capitals that such a comprehensive solution is being planned.

Financial markets closely watched a meeting between Merkel and Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou, but

neither announced any new measures ahead of their private dinner at Berlin’s chancellery on Tuesday evening.

“Through the euro, we are closely bound together, and the weakness of one affects us all,” Merkel said at a news conference.

Germany, Europe’s biggest economy, is seen as a key player in resolving the 17-nation eurozone’s debt crisis, but Merkel’s government has repeatedly been accused over the past 18 months of being a reluctant leader of the rescue efforts.

Speaking earlier Tuesday alongside her economy minister, Philip Roesler, Merkel reiterated her conviction that there is no quick solution, saying the crisis must be dealt with “step by step.”

Greece must receive an 8 billion ($11 billion) rescue loan before mid-October to stave off bankruptcy, a collapse that would send shock waves

through markets around the world. But creditors have demanded more efforts to raise revenue.

In response, Greek lawmakers approved a controversial new property tax Tuesday evening, passing it 154-143 in the 300-member parliament.

The levy, in addition to publicsector reforms announced earlier, is expected to make up for lagging revenues this year by providing more than 2 billion ($2.76 billion), or about 1 percent of Greece’s annual gross domestic product.

Greek Finance Minister Evangelos Venizelos said his country will get the money.

“The disbursement will be decided in time, in line with the course of our funding needs,” he said.

Greeks have been outraged by tax and other austerity measures, and unions have responded with strikes and protests.

DENVER (AP) — Capping a campaign trip for his economic plan and his re-election, President Barack Obama on Tuesday tried to keep pressure on Congress to consider his nearly $450 billion jobs bill, saying it had been two weeks since he sent the bill to Capitol Hill “and now I want it back.”

“I want it back, passed, so I can sign this bill and start putting people back to work,” Obama said from Abraham Lincoln Hill School, a site chosen to emphasize the education elements of his bill.

The president tailored his comments to his audience, saying the school’s science labs were built decades ago and schools around the country need updated facilities.

Yet his broader speech was nearly identical to ones he has given around the country.

There has been no clear sign that his campaign for his bill is winning over Republicans in Congress whose support he needs.

Obama’s spokesman, Jay Carney, told reporters the White House hopes members of Congress are hearing from their constituents about the need to act. Obama made that pitch himself to the audience of several thousand people, saying: “Every one of you can help make it happen by sending a message to Congress, a simple message: ‘Pass this jobs bill.’

Obama’s bill would spend about $25 billion to modernize public schools. The White House said Colorado’s share could support up to 3,400 jobs.

Overall, his jobs plan is a mix of payroll tax cuts and spending that he says could be paid for by requiring wealthier individuals, families and companies to pay more.

The president’s three-day trip out West included seven fundraisers in Washington state and California in advance of an important fundraising deadline.

With the economy stuck and unemployment high as the 2012 campaign heats up, Obama has been reminding supporters that he never told them governing would be easy.

His own chief political adviser, David Axelrod, underscored that reality Tuesday, when he cast the president’s re-election bid as “a titanic struggle.”

With the tough political landscape in mind, Obama has used his West Coast swing to get in some shots at the GOP presidential field.

“I urge all of you to watch some of these Republican debates. It’s a different vision about who we are, who we stand for,” Obama told a Hollywood fundraiser on Monday.

Republicans have panned Obama’s West Coast swing, saying he has been more interested in saving his own job than creating new jobs for Americans.

Ohio to decide 3 issues at November election COLUMBUS (AP) — A clash of political philosophies will play out at Ohio’s ballot box this fall in questions concerning public employee unions and a federal health-insurance mandate.

Labor unions and their Democratic allies have launched a multi-milliondollar effort to repeal a bill lawmakers passed this spring limiting the collective bargaining abilities of 350,000 government workers around the state, a measure backed by Republican Gov. John Kasich as a way to contain costs.

Tea party groups, joined by Republicans, are pushing a constitutional amendment that would prohibit government from requiring Ohioans to buy health insurance, a backlash against President Barack

Obama’s federal health care overhaul.

The two campaigns raise sweeping themes — of class equity, the roles of government, labor unions and taxpayers, and America’s partisan divide.

It is an unusually intense off-year election that also includes a third ballot question.

Issue 1, endorsed by the Ohio State Bar Association, would increase the age limit for judges from 70 to 75.

On the two sides of Issue 2, the collective bargaining battle, are Building a Better Ohio, a business-backed group defending the law, and We Are Ohio, the labor-backed coalition fighting it.

According to the latest filings, We Are Ohio had collected nearly $7 million in campaign cash and other contributions.

Better Ohio is raising money through a nonprofit arm that’s not required to report its donors, but the campaign says it will publicize donors in late October. Experts have projected the combined spending of both sides could exceed $33 million, the amount spent in Ohio’s 2010 governor’s race.

The collective bargaining question places the entire law known as Senate Bill 5 before voters and allows them to vote yes to keep it, or no to reject it.

At a hefty 304 pages, the measure makes significant changes to Ohio law governing public workers, now considered the strongest sector of organized labor nationally. More than 36 percent of U.S. public workers were unionized in 2010, compared to 6.9 percent of private workers, according to the

Bureau of Labor Statistics. The bill was introduced Feb. 1 and was signed into law March 31, after protests that packed the Ohio Statehouse.

The law bans strikes, scraps binding arbitration, and eliminates the ability of unions representing teachers, police, firefighters, state employees and other public workers to bargain for sick pay and pension benefits. Employees would be required to contribute at least 10 percent toward their pensions and 15 percent toward their health insurance, and employers would be prohibited from picking up any pension costs — a practice that cost them $2.9 billion in 2009.

Unions could still bargain for wages, hours, terms and conditions and, in some cases, safety equipment.

“I got my 200th dual win, which is pretty special,” Schlater said. “I have had a lot of great players over the years. We won 11 dual matches this year and had another great season.”

Corey Bremigan handled the tough conditions better than anyone, carding matching nine-hole scores of 38.

“It got really windy the last nine holes,” Bremigan, who started on the back nine, said. “You have to have a little luck out there. My bad shots ended up in some pretty good places. I got some good bounces. I really didn’t think about being medalist. My main concern was the team make it.”

They did that thanks to two of the top three scores on the day.

Luke Kindeln of Anna was second with 77, followed by Francis, whose 79 included a 38 on his back nine.

“Those two kind of carried us,” Paul Bremigan said. “Treg had a great round for not feeling that well.

BY KEN BARHORST AND DAVE ROSS As expected, the Fort Loramie Redskins are making a weekly leap in the Region 24 computer rankings.

The Redskins, winners of four in a row, and all by shutout, are fourth this week, and a look down the schedule would lead one to assume that Loramie fans can again make plans for that 11th week.

If the Redskins are able to win at unbeaten Dayton Christian Friday, it’s a no-brainer. But even with a loss, they will be favored over the final four weeks of the season.

Minster, meanwhile, is up to seventh with a 3-2 record, and no doubt that opening-game win over Fort Loramie will pay dividends for the Wildcats throughout the season. it probably And wouldn’t be smart to count Lehman out yet, either. The Cavs, winners of two in a row, are tied for 16th, but there are some big point games remaining, if they can win them.

Anna, meanwhile, knows what it has to do — win out after dropping its third straight game last week.

And the band played on There’s no doubt that marching bands are a big and important part of the high school football experience. It was interesting to watch the response of Sidney’s home crowd to the halftime band show last Friday following a rough first half for the football team.

The band came out and put on an outstanding show, both bonding with and entertaining the local fans. As the Pride of Sidney exited the field to the SHS fight song, the band was saluted with a standing ovation. Kudos to Director Chris Adams, his staff, and a group of fine young musicians.

Deja vu for Cairns Former Sidney coach Dan Cairns found himself in familiar territory last Friday at Fort Recovery.

His Parkway Panthers were down by one point after scoring a touchdown in the second part of an overtime period. Should they go for the outright win or seek another extra frame?

Though inclined to go for two on the road, Cairns asked his seniors what they’d like to do and the response was unanimous. The twopoint run by senior QB

EXTRA POINTS Riley Bransteter was successful for a 36-35 win and a second success in five outings.

When Troy visited Sidney to conclude the 2009 season, the coach faced the same choice.

He was going for one until a Troy penalty moved the ball inside the two-yard line. At that point both players and coaches urged him to go for two and the win. The result was a 15-14 Yellow Jacket victory and a 5-5 season.

It was appropriate for Parkway that Bransteter tallied the winning points. He could be referred to as both a workhorse and playmaker.

For the game he rushed 25 times for 121 yards and two TD's. He was 2233 passing for 209 yards and one score. He also plays defense and returns both punts and kickoffs.

Cairns says that his star does leave the field at halftime and “I hope he doesn't get hurt.”

Surprise team At Rootstown High School near Cleveland, the football team continues to surprise everyone.

The Cleveland Plain Dealer reported that Rootstown (D-V) was picked to finish dead last in its conference because a $500 participation fee scared off numerous players this summer. The team has just 25 players.

But the team is 5-0 and called by the Plain Dealer “Northeast Ohio’s most surprising team.”

The coach is former Marine Randy McCoy, who retired in 2009 as the police chief in Ravenna.

100 years ago In late September of 1911 the Shelby County Fair was over and it was time for the "orange & black" of Sidney High School to play football at the site of the fair. SHS opened the season with a 17-0 win over visiting New Bremen on the way to a 2-3-1 finish. The tie was a scoreless encounter at New Bremen as the squads played twice which they sometimes did back then.

The Shelby County Fairgrounds served as Sidney’s home from 1908-12. It would be another 15 years before the nickname of “Yellow Jackets” would arrive.

Also in 1911, football scores of another local high school began to appear in the four local newspapers as Holy Angels ventured onto the gridiron for a run that would continue through 1936.

COLUMBUS (AP) — What’s brewing with the 2011 Ohio State Buckeyes ...

BUCKEYES BUZZ: Woody Hayes used to be on the lookout for spies around his practices.

He’d send graduate assistants and trainers to check out people sitting in parked cars near where the Buckeyes were working out for fear they were writing down his plays.

Years later, Jim Tressel shielded his star players before big games. Even though the fans who bought the tickets wanted to know what Terrelle Pryor or Beanie Wells thought about playing archrival Michigan, Tressel would not permit them to talk to reporters about the game. Instead, he’d send out the long-snapper, the punter and specialteams players.

Now a former lieutenant of Tressel’s, Mark Dantonio, has planted the seeds of secrecy in far-flung East Lansing, Mich. Dantonio, who was Tressel’s defensive coordinator, isn’t allowing any of his players to speak to media before Saturday’s game at Ohio State (3:30 p.m.).

“I just feel like our players need to focus,” Dantonio said. “I feel like I don’t want them in a compromising situation this week.”

Michigan State’s roster has 24 players from Ohio. None of them -- or anyone from any other place -- will be talking to reporters who can twist their words and cost the Spartans a victory. Or so, apparently, the thinking goes.

After the Spartans’ 45-7 win over Central Michigan on Saturday, one of those former Ohioans did mention the Buckeyes.

Marcus Rush, a redshirt freshman LB/DE out of Cincinnati’s Moeller HS, said he’s relishing the chance to play against Ohio State.

“Just being in the state and stuff, and they didn’t even look at me (in recruiting),” he said.

“It’s one of those things you wonder why. Looking forward to showing them what I have and what Michigan State has.”

Dantonio wants to keep all such talk under control and under wraps.

“We’ve got guys with pressure on them. They don’t need the additional pressure,” Dantonio said.

“They need to get with

OSU

PERISCOPE

their teammates and we need to focus on the task at hand. This is an important game for us.”

Just imagine how important it would be if either team was in the Top 25.

BIG GAME? WHERE? Ohio State coach Luke Fickell was asked about the huge showdown between No. 8 Nebraska and No. 7 Wisconsin in Madison, Wis. You’d have thought he had been asked about the space debris or the price of pork futures.

“I didn’t know they were playing. I didn’t,” he said. “Someday I wish I can balance it out well enough that I can enjoy watching other people play. But for now, unfortunately I’ve got a little bit of blinders, worry about what we got.”

OSU INJURIES: Fickell was asked Tuesday if either DT Nathan Williams (knee surgery) or WR Corey “Philly” Brown (high ankle sprain) would be available for the game against the Spartans.

“Don’t know and don’t know,” Fickell said.

“Maybe we’ll have a little better idea by Wednesday.”

MSU INJURIES: WRs Bennie Fowler and Keshawn Martin should play this week if things work out in practice. DE Tyler Hoover (fractured rib) will not return until the Spartans’ game against rival Michigan on Oct. 15.

I DO IN THE ‘SHOE: Ohio State is running a co-promotion with a jewelry-store chain to find a couple who want to get married in Ohio Stadium next spring.

But it’s not as simple as just putting on a white gown and a tux and showing up.

Candidates have to qualify by taking one of three available challenges this season.

Friends and family, and others, can then vote on the couple. The top three vote-getters for each of the challenges will then become finalists, with the winner chosen from among those nine couples.

The first challenge is to create a rendition of “Hang On Sloopy!” that is distinctive. It could be where you sing it, how you sing it, or when you sing it. For more info: http://www.diamondcellar.com/sayido

ROUNDUP

Excerpts of recent editorials of statewide and national interest from Ohio newspapers: Akron Beacon Journal, Sept. 26 Practically every Ohioan knows by now about John Kasich’s deep mine of enthusiasm. … (A)t the end of his energy summit in Columbus, the governor declared there is no need for another. This was the best summit ever, he gushed. …

What was particularly encouraging was the tone the governor struck from the start. He talked about the need for a cohesive strategy, stakeholders bridging differences, the state taking a diverse approach, with room for traditional fuels such as coal and natural gas, plus renewable and other alternative sources, and a commitment to energy efficiency. …

No surprise that the prospects for oil and gas drilling in the state’s deep formations of shale captured much attention at the energy summit. …

This drilling must be done right, with care for the environment and public health, for unintended consequences. Already geologists have reduced their estimates for shale formations to the east. Put another way, all of the excitement now gives way to the difficult task of pulling together the cohesive, concrete and comprehensive strategy the governor rightly wants Ohio to achieve.

Online: http://bit.ly/qRDCo7 The Cincinnati Enquirer, Sept. 22 It might be tempting to dismiss President Obama’s visit to the Brent Spence Bridge as a political ploy that has little to do with replacing the obsolete span and quickly creating jobs in the process.

But that misses the point.

Our area — our entire nation — needs a modern bridge here to keep vital commerce flowing on I71/75. Anybody who lives in this region or travels through it knows that.

The direct attention given to the Brent Spence Bridge through

Obama’s visit, along with his earlier jobs speech, is giving a fresh start to a long-term, $2.4 billion project that may be nowhere near “shovel-ready” but is only going to become more expensive the longer we wait to take the first steps to actually build it. …

The controversy around Obama’s focus on the Brent Spence — yes, even that his administration chose it as a symbol to “stick it” to House Speaker John Boehner and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell in their own back yards — is galvanizing this community to come together and talk seriously about moving the project along. There’s a new urgency about it. There’s more focus on how the bridge projects fits in with the region’s other development goals. There’s a fresh determination to just start doing it.

And that may be the best thing to come out Obama’s visit. …

Online: http://bit.ly/mRbV2F The Lima News, Sept. 24 Given the state of uncertainty about the economy, you’d think a U.S. senator would be celebrating the fact that any companies are hiring, not seeking to punish those that are. But not Sherrod Brown.

Ohio’s first-term Democratic senator is pushing legislation to make it illegal for companies to “discriminate” against the unemployed when hiring. Brown is cheerleading for President Barack Obama, who included this provision in his American Jobs Act. …

Unemployment remains high.

Brown acknowledged the obvious last week: The best way to get the economy back on track would be to get more people working. To help achieve that, government officials should be getting out of the way, not implementing new punitive measures against those few companies fortunate enough to be adding workers though not in the way Obama and Brown want.

But they cite a report from the National Employment Law Project that found some companies refuse to hire the unemployed. …

But those few companies that

don’t want to hire the currently unemployed could have very good reason. Chief among them is the costs and time necessary to bring up to speed someone who’s been out of work for an extended time.

Government shouldn’t be adding layers of red tape on companies that are trying to hire.

Obama and Brown would do more to help an economic recovery by instead working to get government out of the way.

Online: http://bit.ly/p4P1CV The (Willoughby) News-Herald, Sept. 24 … New Census data released (last) week demonstrate the chilling impact the recession has had on the current crop of young Americans, to whom the American Dream is increasingly becoming a historical curiosity.

Certainly the tradition of striking out on one’s own is fast waning.

The Census says that 5.9 million Americans ages 25 to 34 are living with their parents, an increase of 25 percent over from before the recession. Men are now twice as likely as young women to live with their parents. As an expression, “empty nesters” is almost quiz-show material.

They are delaying the traditional middle-class aspirations of marriage, buying a home and starting a family. Well, they do start families, but typically do so out of wedlock, meaning the mother likely faces a life of poverty. One in four families is headed by a single parent, a record high, according to the Census.

Homeownership, which would include the traditional “starter home” of young couples, is down for the fourth straight year. …

Only 55.3 percent of young adults 16 to 29 were employed, according to the Census, down from 67.3 percent in 2000 and again a post-World War II low. …

Until a better name for this hard-luck cohort comes along, the Shortchanged Generation will do as well as any.

She certainly must be a very intelligent cat.

With Tommy, Baby likes to play “Hide and Seek.”

Tommy will hide and when Baby finds him, she will give a big leap.

Then Baby in the closet will usually hide.

When Tommy does find her, in a chair they will sit side by side.

If Chris calls Tommy a little loudly to come see something in haste Baby will usually come over and hiss in Chris’s face.

Baby likes Tommy a lot and she does act kind of crazy.

He likes her too and she really is Tommy’s Baby.

Tommy, I know your co-workers will probably kid you a lot, You will have to blame your wife and your mom for the information I have got.

To the editor: Fairlawn Jets who want to have fun and meet old classmates may want to attend a “Fairlawn Night” at the Sidney VFW, 2841 Wapakoneta Ave., Saturday.

We can talk about our Fairlawn years, our classmates and what the future holds for Fairlawn — with the highest academic rating level possible by the state of Ohio School report card. Go Jets!

We can all meet at the VFW around 7:30-8 p.m. in the post canteen. This will be an informal gathering, just to catch up on old times.

The class of 1965 has been meeting at the VFW on the first Saturday in October since 2005. We invite Fairlawn alumni to join us for a good time and an opportunity to build another Fairlawn tradition.

Tommy, a longtime friend of mine, works for the town.

One day, he saw this stray baby kitten running around.

He tried to catch the kitten, for its safety he did care.

The kitten slipped away from him because she was scared.

Tom’s wife prayed for its safety and hoped it wouldn’t go too far.

The next morning, Chris found the kitten sitting underneath their car.

They took her in their house and they named the kitten Baby.

Hometown Urgent Care A tour group walks down the hall of Hometown Urgent Care during an open house Thursday.

Residents attend estate-planning seminar About 85 local residents attended a recent estate-planning seminar sponsored by four foundations. “End of Life Planning: The Final File” reviewed the personal documents and advance directives that individuals should organize for quick access in the event of death or disability.

The event was opened

by Sidney resident Holly Urbanc, who spoke of her experience in locating necessary documents following the unexpected death of her husband, Dr. Bruce Urbanc.

Harry Attorney Faulkner of Faulkner, Garmhausen, Keister and Shenk, focused his presentation on the documents that need to be

created and accessible in the event of a hospitalization, nursing home entry or at death. He noted that family members need to be aware of the location of such documents.

Faulkner’s handout provided a list of documents such as the Last Will and Testament, the Durable Power of Attorney for Business, the Living Will and Health Care Power of Attorney.

Trust agreements, real estate deeds, stock certificates, pre-need funeral arrangements, bank or investment account numbers and loan information are some of the other items to include. He also provided a medication and hospitalization worksheet helpful to medical providers upon a patient’s entry into a healthcare facility.

Retired nurse Susie of Weisenbarger, Greenville, detailed the

types of advance directives and the directions they provide to a family and healthcare provider regarding medical choices. She spoke of the Durable Power of Attorney for Healthcare, the Living Will and the Do Not Resuscitate Order.

The seminar was a collaborative effort of the Community Foundation of Shelby County (www.commfoun.com), Lehman High School F o u n d a t i o n (www.lehmancatholic.co m), Sidney-Shelby County YMCA Foundation (www.sidneyymca.org), and Wilson Memorial Hospital F o u n d a t i o n (www.wilsonhospitalfoundation.com).

Developers explain wind turbine proposal TIFFIN (AP) — Two employees with Nordex USA Inc., a Germanbased company with Chicago offices, met with the Seneca County Commissioners recently to reiterate the company’s desire to construct and operate a wind turbine farm near Bellevue.

Laura Caspari, project developer, and Timothy Vought, senior project development manager,

discussed the proposal to construct 80 to 85 wind turbines on property in Sandusky and Seneca counties. The wind farm would generate 150 to 200 megawatts of elecConstruction tricity. would begin in 2013 and the company would operate it, too.

Once constructed, there would be about 10 jobs at the site.

The longer the blades, the more energy can be produced from the wind, Commissioner President Dave Sauber said.

The company has no meteorological towers, placed to calculate wind and weather conditions prior to development, or any active wind farms in Ohio.

NEW BREMEN — The Southwestern Auglaize County Chamber of Commerce Chamber Lecture Series will present a seminar on the enforcement of the Ohio Use Tax Thursday at 9 a.m. in the Lockkeeper’s House.

“We hosted this same seminar in June,” said Scott Frey, executive director of the Southwestern Auglaize County Chamber of Commerce. “The business owners who attended were all very glad they did so. Many questions were answered about what the State of Ohio plans to do to enforce the Ohio Use Tax on Ohio businesses. We want to open the seminar up to any local business, not just chamber members.

This is an important issue right now.”

Justin Mohler, CPA with Watson and Associates in Columbus will lead the discussion and answer questions about the Ohio Use Tax and its business implications. Mohler, who specializes in the Ohio Use Tax, presented back in June and was able to answer many questions for the chamber members in attendance.

Anyone who wants to attend should call (419) 629-0313 to reserve a seat.

Rain today, cold front to arrive The pesky upper low that has been influencing our weather will continue to spin over our region through t o d ay.

I don’t think your doctor said a high-fat diet is a reason for high liver enzymes. I’ll bet he said fat infiltrating the liver can lead to a leak of liver enzymes into the blood.

This is a common condition, with a name: nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, NAFLD. Between 14 percent and 20 percent of the adult population has it, to a degree.

It’s not an immediate health concern. However, it can progress to NASH, nonalcoholic steatohepatitis, liver inflammation that produces liver scarring and eventual liver cirrhosis.

Faced with a patient like you, a doctor can opt to treat you for NAFLD and see if the enzymes

drop. The treatment is weight reduction, cutting back on fatty meats and whole-fat dairy products, limiting the use of food prepared with lots of sugar and exercising daily.

The other approach is testing for all causes of enzyme elevation. If no diagnosis is forthcoming, a liver biopsy almost always reveals the cause.

The Shelby County Board of Developmental Disabilities, in conjunction with WestCON, hosted a Residential Provider Fair recently at the Shelby Hills gym.

Jennie Lukey, service and support administration director, explained the concept of the fair: “We serve many folks who qualify for what are referred to as ‘individual option waiver’ or ‘level one waiver’ services, which are funded by federal, state and local dollars. These individuals are self-determined, quite responsible and want to earn a paycheck, pay rent, clean their home, make meals and shop in the community for food and clothing. A waiver provides the supportive supervision necessary to make this possible, including services such as help with grocery shopping, meal planning, cooking, budgeting, banking, bill paying, and transportation so that they can socialize with friends.”

Event organizers said many of the attendees who came to the Provider Fair know exactly what they want and they made their expectations known to the different providers: “I need you to be on time and reliable because I get upset if my routine is disturbed. I need someone

to take me grocery shopping and I want to learn to cook for myself. I need you to help me budget my money and help me start a savings so I can join the YMCA. I don’t have much money, so maybe for fun, we could go to the park and the library and check out DVDs. Please help me meet other people. I would like to have some friends and be happy.”

The residential provider listens to the individual’s goals and then helps each person discover and build on their present strengths. In reality, a Provider Fair is very similar to a job interview.

The individuals wanting services speaks with the providers and learns more about the services that they offer. If it is a good match, the individual hires the Provider.

Some individuals, because of their disabilities, may need more intense 24-hour care and additional supports such as showering, tooth brushing, dressing, restroom assistance, meal preparation, eating, transferring to or from a wheelchair and medication management.

This individual and his/her family may come with very different expectations to the fair, organizers said: “I need the provider to be absolutely

reliable and trustworthy because I require total assistance for all activities; you literally have my life in your hands. I use a power wheelchair and a communication device. Throughout the day, I will notify you of my need to use the restroom.

My personal appearance is very important to me. I like a daily shower and want to be neatly groomed. Don’t forget to give me my pills at 8 a.m., noon and 4 p.m. because without them, I may have a seizure.”

Lukey summed up the event this way: “Several good matches were made today so we plan to make this an annual event. It just makes good sense to have all the providers in one location.

Participants can ask all kinds of questions, compare services, and go back to a table and ask additional questions if they need clarification.

“There’s a lot of planning that goes into an event like this. Special thanks to Jackie Walters of WestCON who planned and facilitated the event, the SSAs and the providers who took the time to attend. Most of all, thank you to our individuals, families and guardians for attending and making this annual residential provider fair a success.”

For Thursday, Sept. 29, 2011 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) A relationship with someone older or wiser might begin today.

Very likely, there is an age difference. Perhaps this relationship will bring you security?

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) You might seek out the advice of someone older or more experienced at work today. Nevertheless, co-workers are not that supportive, because people are a bit withdrawn and distrustful today.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) This is a good day to discuss the division of labor or how to share expenses with romantic partners.

Actually, all couples might want to discuss how to share the responsibilities of raising children.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You’ll get a feeling of satisfaction by making practical changes at home, especially changes related to decorating. You want things to look nice, but you also

want them to function and last for a long time.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Choose work that requires attention to detail, because you have excellent powers of concentration today! All serious discussions will be productive.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) If shopping today, you will spend your money on practical items, especially things that will last for a long time. You will avoid anything wasteful and extravagant. (Oh my.)

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Your relationships with others, no matter how romantic, are tempered by practical concerns today.

Some of you might have to say goodbye to someone today. (It is what it is.)

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) You won’t mind working alone or behind the scenes today, because you feel removed and distant from others. It doesn’t mean that anything is wrong. You just need privacy.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Seek advice from someone older and more experienced.

Group situations will focus on practical solutions, especially so-

lutions that are long-lasting.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Romance with your boss or someone older is likely today. Perhaps a desire for security or prestige is part of the equation.

(Security is important to you.)

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Serious discussions about religion, politics and legal matters could produce long-lasting results today. People are willing to wade through details and read boring forms.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) You have a strong sense of duty today. This is why you are carefully sifting through shared possessions or discussing shared property. You want things to be done properly.

YOU BORN TODAY You thrive on change in your life, although you value a stable family situation. Many of you practice and acquire a particular technique. When doing so, you can be intensely focused! You work well with groups because you are fiercely loyal (when you want to be). You are an excellent manager.

A wonderful social year that benefits relationships awaits you.

Officials react to Kimpel indictment

BY KATHY LEESE Local officials, attorneys and others are reacting to Shelby County Sheriff Dean Kimpel being charged in Auglaize County with sexual battery.

On Sept. 20, Kimpel was indicted by an Auglaize County grand jury for allegedly having sex with Deputy Jodi Van Fossen at her home July 24, 2010, when she was intoxicated and unable to give consent.

Following his arrest, Kimpel was released after paying $10,000 of a $100,000 bond. He continues to function as sheriff at this time.

Meanwhile, Miami County Prosecutor Gary Nasal, who is special prosecutor in the case, has petitioned the Ohio Supreme Court to have

Kimpel suspended from office pending the outcome of his case.

Van Fossen’s attorney, Daniel Klos, of Columbus, commented, “It’s been an arduous ordeal for her. She is grateful that she finally had the opportunity to share what she had and they (grand jury) heard her.”

Klos said he doesn’t believe Kimpel’s indictment will affect mediation scheduled for Oct. 6 in a federal lawsuit filed

by Van Fossen against Kimpel and Capt.

Michael Eilerman.

“There are matters which should be kept separate, one civil, one criminal,” he said.

Kimpel’s attorney, Michael Rumer, of Lima, declined to comment on the indictment.

John Lenhart, former Shelby County sheriff

and candidate for that office once again, said he is confident “justice will l prevail in the end.” think Shelby “I County citizens should probably reach out to the men and women who serve (in law enforcement) and reassure them that it’s not about them and that they’re doing a good job,” Lenhart said.

Shelby County Republican Party Chairman Chris Gibbs said, “This is a real opportunity for our community to let the system, although maddening at times, work. Our system of justice is a slow and deliberate process by design. It’s built to protect both the accused and the accuser.

Anything less chips away at our liberties.”

Kimpel is a Republican and local party officials have called for him

to resign.

Shelby County Commissioner Jack Toomey said the commissioners’ priority is the safety of Shelby County residents.

He said Kimpel needs to “perform his duties professionally and not let the situation affect his judgment or his overall performance as a sheriff.”

While Kimpel is functioning as sheriff, he is not allowed to carry a gun because he is charged with a third-degree felony.

Toomey said Kimpel’s indictment is “going to make it a little harder for us, too.”

He noted if Kimpel resigns, the commissioners or the Republican Party will appoint a replacement. He acknowledged the commissioners “have people in mind. We

would appoint someone as soon as we can.”

“I will give Mr. Nasal credit for researching and doing his due diligence” in the Kimpel case, Toomey said.

Commissioner Larry Kleinhans said that while the case is now in the judicial system, “all of this is unnecessary and it’s taken way too long.”

Commissioner Julie Ehemann viewed the situation as “a sad time for Shelby County. I’m very disappointed in how the events have moved and we have to work together to move this county forward.”

She noted she is “proud of our other officers who continue to do their job on a daily basis.

They have worked to stay focused on their job.”

Citizens for Accountability (CFA) representative Gwen Vanderlaan, of Sidney, said the group is planning to have a petition drive again to have Kimpel removed from office. Petitions will be available Saturday on the southwest side of the courtsquare during the farmers market.

Those wanting to sign the petitions must be registered voters in Shelby County. CFA is acting under provision of the Ohio Revised Code, which identifies “gross immorality, drunkenness, misfeasance, malfeasance or nonfeasance” as possible reasons to remove a public official.

CFA had circulated petitions previously but reportedly did not get sufficient signatures at that time.

Any questions regarding services at this time are to be directed to Barker at the office, Kleinhans said.

Barker said that Dr. Stephen E. Wright, regional director for the Extension, west region, is currently responsible for the local office.

Wright said the positions still exist but are currently vacant, and he said he would be meeting with the county commissioners on Thursday morning regarding staffing the Extension Office, noting that, in general, county Extension offices are funded 40 percent by each county, with the other 60 percent of funding coming from state and federal coffers.

“There is no reorganization that has been implemented at this time,” Wright said. “The implementation of how we do programming will commence in January 2012.”

Kleinhans said the process of filling any open positions at the Extension office would not be quick.

“We figure out how much money we’ll have to spend on Extension,” Kleinhans said, explaining the process. “Then we notify the state Extension service on the positions we want filled. They’ll advertise locally (throughout the state). Anyone in the state that qualifies then applies for the position. There’s an interview process and a selection process after that.”

Kleinhans said that restructuring of the Extension offices is occurring throughout the state and is to be completed by Jan. 1. He said consolidation of some services with other counties’ Extension offices might be considered.

“The state Extension office did make a comment that they want a presence of 4-H in every county,” Kleinhans added.

Kleinhans said in all his years in the commissioners’ office (he was first sworn into office in July 1997 to fill the term of C. Richard Meeker, who died in office) this is the first time the commissioners have had to deal with restaffing the Extension office, so any potential timeline would be pure speculation.

Intersection reopens The Wapakoneta Avenue/Hoewisher Road intersection in Sidney reopened to traffic Friday, the city’s Engineering Department reports.

Underground utility work, roadway excavation, rough grading and placement of aggravate sub-base have been substantially completed, although asphalt paving has not been completed.

The intersection is currently operating as a four-way stop to vehicular travel and extreme caution is advised when passing through the area.

For questions or concerns, residents may contact the Engineering Department at 4968142.

The accident ultimately resulted in the death of Stephen A. Freeman, 21 of 10845 Mohawk Court, Sidney. Police say the accident occurred as Lane was attempting to turn left into Walmart and turned in front of oncoming traffic.

Police filed the charge following a complete workup of the crash scene in which their findings were sent the Ohio State Highway Patrol for verification.

Lane, through her attorney, has entered a plea of not guilty to the charge.

Leckey speaks of Homeland Security role in 9/11 aftermath

BY JENNIFER BUMGARNER jbumgarner@sdnccg.com Special guest speaker Eric M. Leckey appeared recently at the Ross Historical Society as a part of the opening week of a special Sept. 11 commemorative exhibit.

Leckey, a 1998 graduate of Fairlawn High School and a 2002 graduate of Wright State University, spoke to a full crowd on “A Nation Transformed by the Sept. 11, 2001, Attacks Upon the United States; A Decade Since: My Thoughts and Experiences on 9/11 at the White House and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.”

‘My own words’ Because of his work in the government, he was quick to point out that he was there in a private capacity not a professional one and that “these are my own words, not those of the government.”

After going through a brief timeline of the events of Sept.

11, 2001, Leckey shared his story and memories of the day. At the time, he was starting his senior year at Wright State University and lived at home with his family on Jackson Road and his driveway was being paved that morning. For Leckey, the smell of fresh asphalt still reminds him of that day.

“On one of our darkest days in our history, we saw the best in America, and I think that was exhibited in the years that followed, par-

speeches where the president would make major remarks and was part of the coordinating committee for the state funerals for former presidents Ronald Reagan and Gerald Ford.

In 2005, he left the White House and began working under Michael Chertoff in the Department of Homeland Security as adviser to the secretary and the White house liaison.

“We saw Hurricane Katrina and not long after Hurricane Rita,” said Leckey. “This was something that was of significant magnitude and I spent a significant amount of time, deployed several individuals to the region to essentially begin helping with the aftermath of Hurricane KatFor photo reprints, visit www.sidneydailynews.com SDN Photo/Jennifer Bumgarner rina and Rita and regained ERIC LECKEY speaks recently at the Ross Historical Society order in the area.”

Unlikely pair of volunteers become friends on veterans trip to D.C.

BY MELANIE SPEICHER mspeicher@sdnccg.com They were an unlikely pair of volunteers during the Shelby County Vets to D.C. trip, He was the youngest volunteer. He was the oldest volunteer and a World War II veteran.

But Craig Berning, 17, and Jim Barton, 83, clicked as volunteers and partners for the weekend to ensure their veterans had the weekend of a lifetime. And in the midst of it, the two became friends.

Barton made his first trip to see the World War II Memorial through Honor Flight in Springfield. He has since made all six trips with the Shelby County group as a volunteer.

Berning, son of Doug and Pam Berning, of Anna, saw his grandparents, Bob and Diane Wyen, of Anna, make the trip in the past. When he needed volunteer hours to help complete requirements for his FFA State Degree, Terri Berning (no relation but a neighbor in Anna) suggested he go on the trip to earn some hours.

Her son, Alvin, had previ-

JIM BARTON, of Sidney, (left) and Craig Berning, of Anna, were the oldest and youngest volunteers during the Shelby County Vets to D.C. trip. Barton is 83, while Berning is 17. ously volunteered on the group.

“When my grandpa heard about it, he jumped all over it,” said Berning.

He approached Mike Bennett, committee chairman, and the request was ap-

proved to come on the trip as a volunteer.

“I’ve been to all the memorials before but they didn’t mean anything until this weekend. They have an unforgettable meaning now,” said Berning, who is a junior

at Anna High School.

And something unexpected happened, too, Berning became a favorite of the wives of the veterans. They all requested Berning push their wheelchairs during the tours of the memorials.

“That was quite a surprise,” said Berning.

Sidney resident Barton sees the trip as a way to help his fellow veterans.

“I like to push them in their wheelchairs,” said Barton. “Everyone here is worth a million dollars.”

Barton enlisted in the service right out of high school.

“As my classmates were going to D.C. on a class trip, I went to Alabama for basic training,” said Barton.

Barton and his two brothers all served during WWII. His older brother was killed during the war.

Barton has a way with the ladies, too — the younger generation. During each trip to D.C., Barton has had his picture taken with young ladies who like a retired military man.

His thoughts on his young traveling companion.?

“He gets an A-plus,” said Barton.

SHS earns $200 scholarship in Drive to Victory Sidney High School edged past Fairborn High School and earned a $200 scholarship in last week’s Goodwill Stores Drive to Victory competition.

Drive to Victory is a friendly competition each week between two local high schools that battle off the field in a donation drive benefiting Goodwill Easter Seals Miami Valley.

Sidney High School collected 6,220 pounds of donations and Fairborn High School collected 6,020 pounds of donations. These items will be sold in

Goodwill Stores, with proceeds supporting the mission of helping people with disabilities and other needs here in the community.

Since 2007, the Goodwill Stores Drive to Victory campaign has generated more than 400,000 pounds of clothing and household items along with 41 vehicles from around the Miami Valley.

In this week’s competition, local rivals compete as Centerville High School is battling Fairmont High School.

At the conclusion of the season the school that has collected the most weight during its Drive the Victory week will receive an additional $700 scholarship.

CAUTION Whether posting or responding to an advertisement, watch out for offers to pay more than the advertised price for the item. Scammers will send a check and ask the seller to wire the excess through Western Union (possibly for courier fees).

The scammer's check is and eventually fake 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.
