Dembski civil case dismissed BY RACHEL LLOYD rlloyd@sdnccg.com The civil case against Jerry D. Dembski was voluntarily dismissed — but not for long — in Shelby County Common Pleas Court on a request filed by the attorney for the plaintiffs Thursday. Bradley D. Dembski Anderson, of Rion, Rion and Rion law firm in Dayton, filed the voluntarily dismissal without prejudice for clients Brian and Tracy St. Myers, who brought the case on behalf of their

minor daughter. The jury trial on the case had been scheduled to begin Monday. Under Ohio Civil Rule 41(A)(1), often called the “double-dismissal rule,” a plaintiff is permitted to dismiss a civil complaint “without prejudice” (without impairing his ability to later refile the same complaint) one time by simply filing a notice of dismissal with the trial court. If a voluntarily dismissed complaint is refiled, any subsequent voluntary dismissal by the plaintiff, without the express consent of the defendant or leave of the court, will result in a dismissal “with prejudice,” meaning the plaintiff cannot pursue any future civil action on the complaint.

“We plan on refiling as early as this week,” said Jon Paul Rion, of the firm representing the plaintiffs. “There was an issue with a witness and their availability. We believe that issue is resolved.” The lawsuit was filed in 2011 by Brian and Tracy St. Myers, of Piqua, on behalf of their now 16-year-old daughter, with whom Dembski was alleged to have had an inappropriate relationship when she was 12. “We absolutely are going forward with this,” Rion said. “It’s a very important case.” The complaint sought compensatory damages and punitive damages for the battery and emotional distress of the daughter.

pleads no contest Teresa McElfresh, 59, of Sidney, the former Shelby County corrections officer charged with allegedly punching a jail inmate, appeared in Sidney Municipal Court Monday to plead no contest to an McElfresh assault charge that has been reduced to disorderly conduct. The case has been continued pending a presentence investigation. The reduced charge is a fourth degree misdemeanor. McElresh, who resigned after the alleged incident, is said to have twice punched a restrained inmate who spit at two other officers. She was originally facing a $1,000 fine and maximum sentence of six months in jail. McElfresh reportedly has had multiple disciplinary actions taken against her over the course of her employment with the Sheriff’s Office.

Edison to host college fair PIQUA — Finding the right school can be like putting together the pieces of a puzzle. Things like size, location and cost are all elements that can have a major impact on a student’s decision for where they will attend college and how successful they will ultimately be. Edison Community College will again be helping students and their parents with this decision by hosting the annual College Fair on Tuesday from 12:30 to 2 p.m. in the Convocation Center of the Piqua Campus. Nearly 50 colleges and universities from Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky and Michigan will be on Edison’s campus to talk with students, parents and guidance counselors about opportunities in higher education. Advisers and representatives will be able to address questions regarding courses, tuition, job placement rates for majors, accreditation and the transfer process, and more. “The annual college fair is a great way for students and parents to come in and get a good, well-rounded look at what colleges and universities have to offer,” said Teresa Roth, director of admissions for Edison. “To have so many great institutions coming to one location here on campus is a huge benefit for Edison’s students and to all of our area high schools as well.” Some of the highlighted schools attending this year’s college fair will be Ball State University, Eastern Michigan

University, Hocking College, Indiana Tech, Northern Kentucky University, The Ohio State University, University of Toledo and Wright State University. For more information on Edison’s academic catalog, go online to www.edisonohio.edu.

Share cart added at SMS lunches BY MELANIE SPEICHER mspeicher@sdnccg.com A new program has been implemented during the lunch periods at Sidney Middle School. SMS Principal Diane Voress told the Sidney City Schools Board of Education that there are 880 students in grades five through eight at the middle school this year. “The lunches are running smoothly,” Voress told the board during its work session Monday night. The meeting was held at the middle school. Voress said the cafeteria staff had noticed that a lot of food was being thrown away. This, she said, is because of mandates that the students must take the food whether they plan to eat it or not. “So we created a share cart,” said Voress. Any sealed food item that a student knows he/she is not going to eat goes on the share cart. After the students are done eating, and they are still hungry, they have the option to go to the share cart and take a food item. Voress said the program is working well thus far. She also updated the board on the Muse program and athletic teams at the school. A donation of a medical car seat from Rebecca Pepiot and Lois Riethman was accepted by the BOE. The car seat, valued at $600, will be used to transport a special needs student. A motion to approve the boiler repairs at Longfellow Elementary School was OK’d by the board. The repairs will not exceed $17,650. The board also approved personnel actions as recommended by Superintendent John Scheu. The recommendations included: • The change of assignment for Brad Martin from study hall aide to custodian on a one-year limited contract effective Oct. 8, $13.62 per hour. • Employed Leslie Smith as a aide for two hours a day at $13.78 per hour effective Sept. 26 and Charlie Tucker as an aide effective Oct. 8 at $14.16 per hour. Both received one-year limited contracts. • Employed Krista Corbin on a one-year limited, as-needed contract as a substitute teacher at $87.53 per day effective Oct. 1. • Employed classified substitutes on one-year limited, as-needed contracts. Employed as substitute aides at $10.22 per hour were Tara Beard, Linda Bowers, Delores Cook, Tamera Engstrom and Candice Lawrence. Engstrom was also employed as a substitute bus driver at $14.08 per hour. Bowers and Cook were also employed as substitute custodians at $12.26 per hour. Board member Steve Smith was not present for the meeting. The board went into executive session to consider the employment of an employee. No action was taken. The board’s next meeting will be Oct. 15 at 6 p.m. at the Board of Education building.

Sidney High School Principal Jon Geuy apologized to Beers for not returning his phone call Friday. He said an emergency with a student prevented him from returning the call. “There will be more opportunities here than at the CLC,” said Geuy. “We’ll be able to provide them with art, physical education and life skills classes.” Geuy said last year two students went to the opportunity school with a goal of completing their coursework so they could attend Upper Valley Career Center. Because they went to the opportunity school, they weren’t able to go to the career center. “We want to do something to help the kids,” said Geuy. “We’re going to do good things for all the kids.”

It was not fiscally responsible to the taxpayers to continue sending our students there.” The CLC is operated by the Shelby County Educational Service Center and is located at Parkwood School in Sidney. Geuy, who also commented after the meeting, said the alternative school is for students who need to work second- and third-shift jobs. The opportunity school is held at night for students who work during the day. He said if the students enrolled in the alternative school have completed their work, then they can leave early. If their work isn’t complete, the student must remain at school until normal dismissal time. If the work is not completed during the week, the students must go to school on Friday. “During the second semester they’ll have art class, physical education class and life skills and job skills classes,” said Geuy. The students, he said, will have interaction with classes/programs on the computer and their will be instructional aides in the classes to help them. “We’re getting the kids ready for life after school,” said Geuy.

CINCINNATI (AP) — First lady Michelle Obama visited Ohio on the first day of early voting on Tuesday, reminding a spirited crowd of 6,800 people that the last presidential election in the key swing state came down to just about 260,000 votes and that the current race will be even closer. Obama said that 260,000 votes may not sound like a lot, but broken down, they amounted to 24 votes per precinct. “Do you hear me? Twenty-four votes!” she said. “Just take that in for a moment. That could mean just a couple votes in your neighborhood, on your block. That could be just a single vote in your apartment building, one vote in your dorm room.” She urged everyone in the crowd to keep that number in their head as the race comes down to its final weeks. “It’s all at stake this November,” she said. “And it can all come down to what happens in just a few key battleground states like right here in Ohio. “Early voting starts today!” she yelled. “Today!” The crowd responded to the first lady with roars of excitement throughout the 30minute speech, waving American flags and chanting, “Fired up! Ready to vote!” and “Four more years!” Michelle Obama also retold a familiar tale about why she married Obama, how she and her husband have lived the American dream and that it’s important to help others struggling to reach their own goals.

OUT OF THE BLUE

Suspect tries to eat marijuana SCRANTON, Pa. (AP) — Perhaps it was a case of the munchies. Police in northeastern Pennsylvania say an alleged pot dealer tried to destroy evidence by eating a marijuana plant. The Times-Tribune reports that 33-year-old Jeremiah Carmody faces several drug-related charges following events on Monday in Scranton. Police say Carmody tried to eat the plant after authorities went to his house to serve a warrant. Authorities ended up seizing the remains of the plant, four pounds of marijuana, digital scales, $2,600 in cash and drug paraphernalia.

White House widening covert war in North Africa BY KIMBERLY DOZIER Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — Small teams of special operations forces arrived at American embassies throughout North Africa in the months before militants launched the fiery attack that killed the U.S. ambassador in Libya. The soldiers’ mission: Set up a network that could quickly strike a terrorist target or rescue a hostage. But the teams had yet to do much counterterrorism work in Libya, though the White House signed off a year ago on the plan to build the new military task force in the region and the advance teams had been there for six months, according to three U.S. counterterror officials and a former intelligence official. All spoke only on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the strategy publicly. The counterterror effort indicates that the administration has been worried for some time about a growing threat posed by al-Qaida and its offshoots in North Africa. But officials say the military organization was too new to respond to the attack in Benghazi, where the administration now believes armed al-Qaidalinked militants surrounded the lightly guarded U.S. compound, set it on fire and

killed Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans. Republicans have questioned whether the Obama administration has been hiding key information or hasn’t known what happened in the immediate aftermath of the attack. They are using those questions in the final weeks before the U.S. elections as an opportunity to assail President Barack Obama on foreign policy, an area where he has held clear leads in opinion polls since the killing of Osama bin Laden in 2011. On Tuesday, leaders of a congressional committee said requests for added security at the consulate in Benghazi were repeatedly denied, despite a string of less deadly terror attacks on the consulate in recent months. Those included an explosion that blew a hole in the security perimeter and another incident in which an explosive device was tossed over the consulate fence. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton told Congress in a letter responding to the accusations that she has set up a group to investigate the Benghazi attack, and it is to begin work this week. As of early September, the special operations teams still consisted only of liaison officers who were assigned to establish relationships with local govern-

ments and U.S. officials in the region. Only limited counterterrorism operations have been conducted in Africa so far. The White House, the CIA and U.S. Africa Command all declined to comment. “There are no plans at this stage for unilateral U.S. military operations” in the region, Pentagon spokesman George Little said Tuesday, adding that the focus was on helping African countries build their own forces. For the Special Operations Command, spokesman Col. Tim Nye would not discuss “the missions and or locations of its counterterrorist forces” except to say that special operations troops are in 75 countries daily conducting missions. The go-slow approach being taken by the Army’s top clandestine counterterrorist unit — known as Delta Force — is an effort by the White House to counter criticism from some U.S. lawmakers, human rights activists and others that the antiterror fight is shifting largely to a secret war using special operations raids and drone strikes, with little public accountability. The administration has been taking its time when setting up the new unit to get buy-in from all players who might be affected, such as the U.S. ambassadors, CIA station chiefs, regional U.S. military commanders and local leaders.

Judge blocks photo ID rule for Election Day in Pa. HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Pennsylvania voters won’t have to show photo identification to cast ballots on Election Day, a judge said Tuesday in a ruling on the state’s controversial voter ID law that could help President Barack Obama in a presidential battleground state. Court Commonwealth Judge Robert Simpson delayed Pennsylvania’s voter ID requirement from taking effect this election, saying he wasn’t sure the state had made it possible for voters to easily get IDs before Nov. 6. “I am still not convinced … that there will be no voter disenfranchisement” if the law took effect immediately, Simpson wrote. Gov. Tom Corbett, who had championed the law, said he was leaning against an appeal of the decision, which was widely viewed to favor Obama in Pennsylvania, one of the nation’s biggest electoral college prizes. Obama has been leading in recent polls over Republican nominee Mitt Romney. Pennsylvania’s 6-month-old law, among the nation’s toughest, has sparked a divisive debate over voting rights ahead of the presidential election. About a dozen primarily Republicancontrolled states have toughened voter ID laws since the 2008 presidential election. But states with the toughest rules going into effect — including Kansas and Tennessee — aren’t battleground states, making their impact on the presidential election unclear. One civil rights lawyer said the decision cemented the principle that a photo ID law can’t disenfranchise voters. Opponents had said young adults, minorities, the elderly, poor and disabled would find it harder to cast ballots.

GOP reviews turning negative on Romney’s campaign BY DAVID ESPO Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — On the eve of the first presidential debate, the early autumn Republican reviews are in for Mitt Romney’s presidential campaign, and they are not pretty. In some states, candidates who share the Nov. 6 ballot with the former Massachusetts governor already have taken steps to establish independence from him. Party strategists predict more will follow, perhaps as soon as next week, unless Romney can dispel fears that he is headed for defeat despite the weak economy that works against President Barack Obama’s prospects. Former Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour, who headed the Republican Party when it won control of Congress in the 1990s, said disapprovingly over the weekend that Romney’s campaign has been focusing on

polling, political process and campaign management. “It’s about everything but the issues. It’s about everything but Obama’s policies and the failures of those policies,” he said. Matthew Dowd, who was a senior political adviser to President George W. Bush, said the Romney campaign was almost guilty of political malpractice over the summer and during the two political conventions. It “left the playing field totally to Barack Obama and the Obama campaign” and “‘basically set the tone for the final 60 days of this campaign, which put them behind after the conventions,” said Dowd, who worked for Democrats before signing on with Bush, a Republican. He and Barbour both spoke on ABC. Ed Gillespie, a senior adviser to Romney, defended the campaign in a conference call with reporters on Monday. “Our message is very clear, which is

we cannot afford four more years like the last four years. And we need a real recovery, we need policies that are going to help,” he said. Republicans say there is time for Romney to steady his campaign but only if he acts quickly. Recent public polls show Obama moving out to a modest lead in most if not all of the battleground states where the race will be decided. But Republicans with access to Romney’s polling data said Tuesday that he has begun regaining some support among independent voters, enabling him to cut into the president’s advantage. It is unclear how long congressional candidates are willing to wait for a turnaround. Several Republican strategists point to this week, which includes the debate and Friday’s release of September unemployment figures.

Auto sales, home prices help economy BY TOM KRISHER Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. economy is looking more resilient, thanks in part to encouraging signs for the two most expensive purchases most Americans make: cars and homes. Cheap loans and a bounty of fuel-efficient models enticed people to buy new vehicles at a brisk pace last month. And the nation enjoyed another yearover-year surge in home prices in August — a sign that the housing industry is making a sustained comeback. Both trends reflect rising

confidence in the economy. More families are replacing aging cars. And rising home prices are leading more wouldbe buyers to conclude that a home is a good investment. Two surveys last week also reported improving consumer confidence. The apparent progress could benefit President Barack Obama, who faces off with Mitt Romney on Wednesday in an economy-focused debate just five week ahead of the election. Despite the brightening auto and housing industries, the broader American economy is still struggling. It grew at a meager 1.3 percent annual

rate in the April-June quarter. Most economists foresee little strengthening the rest of the year. Hiring remains too sluggish to reduce high unemployment, which is at 8.1 percent. The manufacturing sector is struggling to grow consistently. Workers’ pay is lagging inflation. A dismal European economy has cut demand for U.S. exports. And the economy remains at risk of falling off a “fiscal cliff” early next year. That’s when tax increases and deep spending cuts take effect unless Congress reaches a budget deal. If those measures do take effect,

the economy could fall into recession. Yet many Americans appear to be looking past the economy’s troubles. Surveys by the private Conference Board and the University of Michigan show that while consumers are anxious about current conditions, they’re more optimistic about the future. That helps explain why Americans are expected to step up spending during this year’s holiday shopping season. The National Retail Federation, the largest retail trade group, predicts sales will rise 4.1 percent.

Council updated on sewers

REAL

With their probationary periods ended, council appointed Craig Bergman Public Works Employee II and Nathan Brown as Employee I. Back filling of dirt and seeding on Sawmill and Hickory roads was completed Sept. 7, The ground treated is already sinking. The contractor will return in the spring to again back fill. Council learned the cost of leveling the remainder of Redskin Park would be $6,500 to $7,500 with tile work to be done later. As the village has several street projects that need to be considered first, it was decided to rent the land out for farming next

year but consider the work at a later time. Council authorized the clerk to pay Saintignon Excavating a pay request of $20,964 for the Sawmill and Hickory Drive street projects. Ohio Public Works Commission funds will pay $10,482 of the request. The finance officer reported the Budget Commission has released Government funds in the amount of $30,823. The allocation is $7,868 less than last year. A resolution accepting the amounts and rates determined by the budget commission and authorizing the necessary tax levies was ap-

proved by council as was a resolution temporarily suspending a section of village ordinances for German Heritage Days. The finance committee urged department heads to begin working on their 2013 budgets. The zoning enforcement officer reported issuing a zoning permit to Kevin Pleiman for an accessory building. A sidewalk in Canal Park is being replaced. The village did not receive the Ohio Department of Transportation Enhancement grant for which it had applied. The next council meeting will be Oct. 14 at 8 p.m.

DR. WALLACE: I’m 17 and so is my boyfriend. He comes from a dysfunctional home. Both of his parents are alcoholics. When we go out, Jared brings along a beer and some time during our date he drinks it. I keep harping that to drink beer when he sees the damage that alcohol has caused his parents is ludicrous. He says that the beer helps him relax so he can cope! Your comments, please! —Nameless, Phoenix, Ariz. NAMELESS: Alcohol is a stimulant, not a relaxant! He is drinking the beer because he enjoys it. An online survey by Seventeen magazine of over 3,000 teens found that 85 percent of girls and 86 percent of guys said that they could relax without drugs or alcohol.

Your boyfriend needs to stop drinking and take responsibility for his life. He’s headed on the same path that was taken by his parents — toward a dysfunctional and disastrous life. Demand that he no longer will bring along a beer to help him cope. If he can’t cope without alcohol, dump him! Dr. Robert Wallace welcomes questions from readers.

LOCAL NEWS

Sidney Daily News,Wednesday, October 3, 2012

KIMPEL Commissioner Larry Kleinhans said the AG’s office told him that “due to some kind of judge’s opinion” they can’t handle it. At that point, Kleinhans contacted the County Commissioners Association of Ohio (CCAO), but was denied assistance. Kleinhans then decided to contact what he called a “collection” department at the AG’s office, part of a new program that assists local government with debt collection. Kleinhans called the situation frustrating: “We’re told we have to go in one direction one day and then hours later we have to go another direction.” However, late Friday afternoon, the AG’s office confirmed to the Sidney Daily News that it would indeed handle the case at no charge to the county. “Because Ohio is a home rule state, the Attorney General cannot just enter into a local case, but must be asked to assist by a county prosecutor and given authority by a county judge,” said AG spokeswoman Lisa Peterson Hackley. “The court order authorizes us to enter into an agreement with the Board of County Commissioners for the collection of the money. We are working now to assign attorneys to the case who will contact the county prosecutor who represents the board to draft the agreement.” Hackley said there is no timeline yet for filing the lawsuit. Hackley denied that the AG’s office had changed its mind several times on whether to take the case. “We indicated from the beginning that we would take the case if a judge appointed us,” she said.” We were brought into the case by a court order. Generally, because Ohio is a home rule state, the Attorney General cannot just enter into a local case, but must be asked to assist by a county prosecutor and given authority by a county judge.” She also said the AG’s debt collection program will not be part of the effort to recoup money from Kimpel. Several officials have expressed concern about Bauer not

From Page 1 taking the case, saying they don’t believe there is a conflict of interest and expressing the belief his refusal is based on anger over losing his bid for re-election in the primary election. Bauer, who said on June 22 that he would seek “every dollar” possible from Kimpel in an attempt to reimburse the county, then said on July 27 that a conflict would prevent him from doing so. On Monday, Bauer told the Daily News he did not know that the AG was taking the case. Nor was he aware of Stevenson’s court order. Bauer reaffirmed his belief that a conflict would exist if he handled the case, noting there is “clearly the appearance of impropriety to represent the (former) sheriff and to represent the county against the sheriff.” “I base that on the Model Code of Professional Conduct. That’s the rules the (Ohio) Supreme Court orders that lawyers have to abide by … an attorney has to avoid the appearance of impropriety and clearly if you represented the county and represented the sheriff, you can’t represent one against the other.” Although Kimpel is no longer sheriff, Bauer said that does not change anything, noting he still has to keep any “secrets” Kimpel shared with him. “I think the conflict stays in effect because you have to keep those secrets forever,” Bauer said. “Because I don’t represent (Kimpel) anymore doesn’t mean I can go out and blab about whatever he told me.” Bauer said he did not turn down the lawsuit because he is angry about the election outcome. “I keep prosecuting people all the time. We convicted a felony rapist and he got 27 years. If I wasn’t going to do my job, I would not have done that,” he said. Bauer said he has “no idea” why some local officials are upset with him. Referring to the recent rape conviction, he said, “Maybe that will make people shut up who don’t think I’m working hard.”

CREATIVITY tial,” said Sam Casalano, associate executive director. “It’s an opportunity to showcase artists’ work and to bring everyone together to experience and understand the pleasure and impact of the arts.” Arts education can be beneficial to children and teen’s development. According to recent research by the National Endowment for the Arts, youth who regularly participate in arts programs tend to perform well in school, have higher career goals and become more involved in civic engagement, such as volunteering and voting. As part of a commitment to youth development, the Sidney YMCA works to help youth dis-

City of Sidney’s sewer tap fees won’t increase in 2013 BY TOM BARNETT tbarnett@sdnccg.com During Sidney City Council’s October work session Monday night, Utilities Director Brian Schultz said staff is proposing tap fees remain unchanged through 2013. In his presentation, Schultz said current fees are sufficient to recover the city’s costs for inspection. The current fee is $100 for a single-family dwelling unit. All other users are based on water meter sizes, ranging from $100 for a 5/8-inch meter to $5,775 for a 10-inch meter. Council also learned the street department has developed its plan of action for a fast-approaching winter as SuMarty perintendent Keifer shared his 20122013 Snow and Ice Management Plan. The plan covers the city’s more than 100 miles of roadways and 16 miles of alleys, plus cul-de sacs. He said 15 employees will respond to salt streets and up to 25 for plowing events. “Shifts, ideally will work 12-hours,” Keifer said, “but typically, 16hour details may be necessary.” Crews will have available nine 5-ton trucks, seven 1-ton trucks, eight three-quarter ton pickups, and other equipment, including two front end loaders and five backhoe front end loaders. First-priority plowing areas will include police, fire and service center parking lots, roadways at Wilson Memorial Hospital the nine-block downtown area, schools, steep roadways and principal routes. Street plowing priorities begin with thorough-

fares, followed by collector streets and all other roadways. Keifer told council “mild weather is expected to continue through 2012 but the new year could be much colder.” He estimated the city’s current savings from the mild 2011-12 winter at $100,000 in salt and overtime labor costs. Prior to Monday night’s agenda items, Jack Keegan of Ohio’s Public Utilities Commission, lead a power point

presentation on Retail Electric Choice. “Currently,” he told council, “more than 217 communities are participating in the program and it includes 36 percent of all eligible potential customers enrolled.” He also discussed government aggregation in which municipal customers may join as a group for cost savings. “Over 16 marketers are currently making electricity,” the PUCO official said.

“We still regulate distribution and generation,” he assured council and staff. Following Monday’s discussion, City Manager Mark Cundiff reviewed agendas for council’s Oct. 8 and 22 legislative meetings and the Oct. 15 meetings of the Zoning Board of Appeal and Planning Commission. The meeting included an executive session to discuss appointment or compensation of a public employee.

War of 1812 event Hydrant set at Fort Amanda flushing set WAPAKONETA — Local residents are invited to a bicentennial commemoration of the War of 1812 at Fort Amanda on Sunday from 1 to 5 p.m. The event is free and open to the public. Visitors will have the opportunity to observe reenactors from the War of 1812 era, visit the early 20th century doctor who helped raise funds for the monument, and learn from a current expert on the fort. Displays and free refreshments will also be available. Guided tours are from 1 to 4 p.m. The Historical Society, Heritage Trails Park District, Johnny Appleseed Metropolitan Park District, and other area organizations are sponsoring this event at Auglaize County’s only public site related to the War of 1812. Fort Amanda is owned by the Ohio Historical Society and operated by the Johnny Appleseed Metropolitan Park District. Originally built in the fall of 1812 by Kentucky troops under the command of Lt. Col. Robert

Pogue, the fort was enlarged to almost double the original size during the spring of 1813 by Ohio militia soldiers under the command of Capt. Daniel Hosbrook. A fifth blockhouse was added during the second phase of construction as well as several cabins and storage buildings. The walls stood 11 feet above the ground. Located on the banks of the Auglaize River, Fort Amanda served as a major supply depot during the war. A diary kept by Ensign William Schillinger of the Ohio militia gives a daily account of weather conditions, activities at the fort, and his personal thoughts and observations. These and other recently discovered writings have given us the names of every man stationed at Fort Amanda during its operation, including the first African-American in the area — David, Pogue’s servant whom he brought with him from Kentucky.

BY FRANCES DRAKE For Thursday, Oct. 4, 2012 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You have a strong sense of anticipation and adventure today. You’re eager to meet new people, see new places and hear fresh ideas. (“Look — a bright, shiny object!”) TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Trust your moneymaking impulses today, because they could be original and innovative.

It’s a great day for the arts, playing with children and anything that has to do with sports and the entertainment world. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Stock the fridge, because surprise company might drop by, or you might impulsively entertain others. A family member might have interesting news to tell. YOU BORN TODAY You know what others want because you have your finger on the pulse of the public. (This is why you know how to appeal to people.) You have charm and grace, and you like things to go smoothly around you; yet, you also are attracted to danger and adventure! Family is important to you.

25 years Oct. 3, 1987 when Kris Back Haines was the subject of an article detailing what he was doing since he left Sidney, the former Sidney High standout made it clear that he was through with football. That all changed recently when Haines was contacted by the Buffalo Bills head coach Marv Levy about joining the team to fill in due to the players strike. Haines jumped at the chance because he needs a few more games to qualify for the NFL pension plan. Haines still holds records in Sidney and went on to star at Notre Dame before joining the pros. He played in three different professional football leagues to date. Haines averaged 8.1 yards per carry his senior year and led the team to a 9-1 record.

This was a huge win, but there is still a ways to go yet in the league season.” Darian Rose had 11 kills for the Redskins while Reggi Brandewie and Lindsey Hilgefort each had six and Kelly Turner five.

“Truly blessed.” As a lifelong Cincinnati Reds fan, that’s how Sidney native Jason Harbison described himself. And with good reason. Harbison, a 1992 Sidney High graduate, has been in Bowling Green, Ky., for about the last 15 years, and works at the Fruit of the Loom headquarters as an art designer. Along the way, through being in things like a comedy troupe, he became friends with Jerry Rose, who worked for a radio station, ESPN 1450, in Bowling Green. “I just got involved in different things with Jerry,” said Harbison recently. “And he asked myself and another guy if we’d be interested in doing a Reds show. I grew up being a Reds fan, and there are so many Reds fans down here. “I had been on Jerry’s radio show a couple times, just doing wacky stuff, and he approached me knowing I was a big Reds fan.” Well, that started it, but neither could imagine how big it would become. The show, “Redlegs Radio Report,” is on every Saturday from 9-to-10 a.m., and the station also replays it throughout the week. “I just kinda backed into this thing,” he said. “We’ve been a Reds radio affiliate for the past four years. We’re probably the southern-most affiliate of the Reds, so we’re one of the big stops they have when they have the Reds Caravan.” He said he’s located about three hours south of Cincinnati and only about an hour north of Nashville.

SIDNEY NATIVE Jason Harbison chats with Reds second baseman Brandon Phillips on his radio show, Redlegs Radio Report, in Bowling Green, Ky. The show started small, but has grown by leaps and bounds this year. “We were lucky enugh with the caravan,” said Harbison. “Some of the players came down here in January and that started out the show.” He said Bowling Green has a minor league team, the Hot Rods, and when the Dayton Dragons are in town, the radio station is there to cover it and talk to former Reds pitcher Tom Browning, now the Dragons pitching coach. “We’ve really befriended Tom Browning,” said Harbison. “We’ve also had Jim Kelch and Chris Welsh (Reds announcers) on the program.” He said Reds catcher Devon Maseraco and Reds Hall of Famer Sean Casey have also been guests on the show. He was there just recently the night the Reds clinched the National League Central Division. And even though it was subdued during the game in the press box, he got to go down on the field following the game.

“I got sprayed with the champaign,” he said. “And the PR director actually gave me the cork from the bottle Brandon Phillips was using.” He said the show really took off when ESPN audio decided to choose 10 random shows to highlight and broadcast nationally. Reds Radio Report was one of the shows chosen and “that really kind of catapulted us.” He’s having a ball with it, and it’s growing by leaps and bounds. But he’s not ready to change careers. “We’ll take it as it comes,” he said. “I’m not going to quit my day job yet. It’s just a fun little thing we decided to do and the feedback has been great. We thought it might just be a local thing, but we’ve got close to 600 followers on Twitter right now.” You can listen into the show on www.ESPN1450.net, on Twitter at redlegsradiorep, or on Facebook at Redslegs Radio Report.

Indians closer wants more passionate manager CLEVELAND (AP) — Outspoken closer Chris Perez thinks the Indians need a more intense manager and better players. Perez said Tuesday that Cleveland’s second-half collapse was embarrassing and the laid-back approach of former manager Manny Acta didn’t help. “August wasn’t baseball, it was pathetic — in all aspects,” Perez said about Cleveland’s 524 slide that came after losing nine of its last 12 games in July. Acta was fired Thursday and replaced by bench coach Sandy Alomar Jr. on an interim basis. “I’m not saying that a change earlier would have done anything,” Perez said. “But sometimes we pressed the panic button. Why? A lot of things left you kind of scratching your head.” Alomar doesn’t mind Perez being outspoken and said the right-hander’s occasional outbursts are not detrimental if you understand his mindset. Alomar pointed out that Cleveland had controversial players while winning five consecutive AL Central championships in the 1990s.

“That’s what drives him,” Alomar said. “He’s an All-Star player and in the clubhouse he’s everybody’s friend, always talking. On the field, it’s a little different.” Alomar said Perez’s passion to win sometimes leads him to go overboard. He would not want to douse that competitive fire. That’s fine with Perez, who hopes whoever is hired as manager will match his own intensity. He said either Alomar or Terry Francona, who led the Boston Red Sox to two World Series titles, would be a better fit than Acta. Alomar is due to interview for the full-time job on Thursday; Francona on Friday. Perez suggested that watching Acta not argue with umpires or get angry with underperforming players led to his own frustrations boiling over in comments to the media earlier this season. “A lot of that went out the door last week,” Perez said. “The Manny you see and the Manny we see are different.” Perez insisted he likes and respects Acta, but disagreed with some of his decisions. Most of all, he wanted him to take a stronger stand in the

dugout and the clubhouse. “He’s not very confrontational,” Perez said. “We are men, we can handle it. Last year, he had two speeches — on opening day and the last day. “It’s not like we (he and Acta) had yelling matches. Actually it went the other route — seven, eight, nine days not even talking.” Despite Cleveland’s horrible second half, Perez thinks the Indians have a good foundation on which to build. They led the AL Central for 40 days, until June 23. A gradual fade turned into an all-out collapse to last place. “We kind of fell off the cliff,” he said. “We are better than this.” Perez said he had a “very professional” conversation with general manager Chris Antonetti and came away with a better understanding of the organization’s plans. He said he wants to stay in Cleveland and be part of a winner. “If I didn’t want to play here, the easiest way to get out was to tank,” Perez said. “I didn’t. “They have control of me (under contract) for two years and while I’m here I want to win.” If YOU are the Fan of the Game (pictured here)

BY DAVE ROSS Last Friday at Troy, Sidney’s Andre Spillers a s w roughed on a successful 39 yard field goal that would have tied the school record of six FG’s in Spillers one season. Sidney took the penalty and went on to score a touchdown, negating the three points. Spillers suffered a severe knee injury and did not return. Now it appears his senior season is over. Pending full confirmation of an earlier diagnosis, there is multiple ligament damage that will require surgery. Andre’s presence on the defensive line will also be sorely missed. Additionally, Spillers had shown range that would challenge the school record 45 yard field goal set in 1986. Through research and personal observation, I will say he’s the best kicker Sidney’s ever had. Andre did attain one record with 11 points kicking against Dayton Belmont two Saturdays ago, so he will appear in the Yellow Jacket record book with one mark that will be very hard to break. With four games remaining, too bad he can’t pursue the other two that seemed so likely.

40th chapter of Battered Helmet As the regular season winds down, we’ll get more specific about regions 20 & 24 which are of major interest to our SDN coverage area. Sidney and Piqua first met

EXTRA POINTS in football in 1899 and there’s been no interruption since 1926. In 1974 a suggestion was made at a meeting of the newly merged Sidney Vespa Quarterback Club to institute a traveling award between the two. A few days later the "Battered Helmet" was born as local artist Ed Veit did the handiwork on an old SHS headgear. The 1974 campaign was an appropriate season to initiate the new The teams trinket. played in week eight at Piqua. Sidney was 7-0 and Piqua 5-2 against a backdrop of Sidney’s recent series domination. However, the unblemished Yellow Jackets never got untracked and Chuck Asher’s Indians rode a tide of emotion to an 18-0 whitewash. Piqua scored more points than Sidney’s star running back, Kris Haines, had rushing yards (1816). Both teams then won their final two games. 1974 was the 15th and final season for Jacket coach Dave Haines, father of the future Notre Dame star. This first contest in the Battered Helmet era is likely Piqua’s highlight during the period. The Sidney highlight came 15 years later on home turf at Julia Lamb Stadium. Kevin Fell’s Yellow Jackets stood 5-2 when a solid Piqua squad visited in 1989 to conclude a decade that had seen the Helmet remain in Piqua throughout. Sidney led 24-17 with the visitors driving when a Todd Taylor end zone interception sealed the deal in the final half-minute. This win was vital to

Versailles sweeps Covington BY KYLE SHANER Civitas Media kshaner@dailyadvocate.com VERSAILLES — The Versailles volleyball team maintained control almost all night against Covington Monday, cruising to a three-set sweep, 25-12, 25-5 and 25-13. There were few moments Monday when Versailles wasn't in control as the Lady Tigers kept the Buccaneers off balance throughout the match. “I think they maintained control of the ball pretty much all night and executed pretty well overall,” Versailles coach Karla Otte said about her team’s performance. Versailles got out to a 9-4 lead in the first set, which prompted Covington to take its first timeout. Versailles then scored nine of the next 16 points, and Covington took another timeout while trailing 18-10. Versailles kept the pressure on and beat Covington 25-12 to start the night with a victory in the first set.

In the second set Versailles led 4-3 when it took complete control. The Lady Tigers went on a 150 run, with Lauren Monnin leading the way with her serving. Covington used both of its timeouts while Monnin was serving, but she kept her composure and helped Versailles build a 19-3 lead. After Covington finally broke Monnin’s streak, Versailles quickly got the serve back and Katie Grieshop did the rest of the serving for Versailles as the Lady Tigers won 25-5, having scored 21 of the set's final 23 points. Covington kept things closer in the third set, with the Buccaneers being within one point of Versailles at 12-11 at one moment. But then Rachel Kremer’s serving helped lead Versailles on a 11-1 run to regain control and propel the Lady Tigers to a 25-13 third set victory for the match sweep. Versailles improved to 12-2 with the win.

sending the Jackets to the playoffs for the only time in school history before they fell to Fostoria in the state semi-finals. Taylor is now a vicepresident of the NBA Indiana Pacers. Piqua finished the 1989 season at 5-5 but had the momentum to make the playoffs the next five seasons under head coaches Steve Magoteaux and Bill Nees. Chapter 40 of the Battered Helmet will be conat Sidney tested Memorial Stadium on Friday night. Sidney stands 3-3, with Piqua at 2-4. The lone common opponent is Springboro which scored lopsided shutouts against each. Piqua has won the last two against Sidney. We can’t wait for Friday.

The Lehman girls soccer team upped its record on the year to 10-1 with a come-from-behind 3-1 victory over FranklinMonroe Monday. The Lady Cavs fell behind for the first time this season, other than in the one game they lost. Franklin-Monroe got a goal from Claire Niswander off an assist from Jordan Stickley for a 1-0 lead with six minutes remaining in the first half. Lehman came right back, however, scoring with 4:00 left in the first half when Taylor Lachey was there to put in a rebound off a shot by Jordi Emrick. Then just 52 seconds

Dick Roll’s Lehman Cavaliers got a nice win at Waynesfield-Goshen (3-3) last Friday on the heels of WG’s victory at Fort Loramie. Lehman’s next two opponents, Fairbanks and Upper Scioto Valley, are now a combined 1-11. The Cavs likely need to beat Spencerville (now 5-1) in week nine to make the post-season. Lehman is currently tenth in region 24 and will probably not play a tenth game due to Troy Christian suspending varsity football. This is why computer standings are based on average points rather than total points. In this fashion, teams aren’t penalized for scheduling situations beyond their control.

November = playoffs We’re only a month away from the playoffs. Right now it appears the only playoff game that could be played in Shelby County would be a potential opener hosted by Fort Loramie. No neutral site games will come to Sidney Memorial Stadium since it lacks the artificial turf mandated by the OHSAA for such contests.

into the second half, Sara Fuller found Sarah Titterington and she finished for a 2-1 lead. That’s how it stayed until just :03 remaining in the game. Titterington’s corner kick was headed by Lauren Gotttemoeller to Jenna Kronenberger, who knocked it in. Lehman outshot F-M 33-9, and keeper Grace Frantz had four saves. Franklin-Monroe goalie Allison Snider finished with 14 saves. “She played an awesome game,” said Lehman coach Tony Schroeder of Snider. “We really sent some shots at here and she did a good job. She had a couple of real nice diving saves.”

result of the cancellation of the entire preseason. THE RUSSIANS ARE COMING? The labor dispute has opened the door for the Russian-based Kontinental Hockey League to have its games broadcast in the U.S. on ESPN3, the sports cable network’s online streaming service. The KHL announced on its website that five games are set to air next week, though ESPN has said an agreement has not been finalized. THEY SAID IT: “Today was not overly encouraging.” — NHL Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly. THEY SAID IT II: “It’s clear that the players have made substantial moves towards the owners and the owners have made substantial moves away from the players.” — NHLPA executive director Donald Fehr. ON THIS DAY LAST YEAR: The New York Rangers scored four unanswered goals en route to a 4-1 win over Slovan Bratislava in an exhibition game at Slovakia. It was the Rangers’ third win in three games during a swing through Europe before they prepared to open the regular season with games against Los Angeles and Anaheim in Stockholm.

Honoring his grandfather Lehman student to take part in Alzheimer’s walk Lehman Catholic High School junior Josh Smith, who has seen the effects of Alzheimer’s disease firsthand, plans to participate in the Troy Walk to End Alzheimer’s. The walk is scheduled for Sunday. According to the Alzheimer’s Association, the disease is the largest underfunded public health threat facing our nation today. With an aging of the population, the number impacted by the disease is growing exponentially. Today more than half of all Americans know someone with Alzheimer’s. It is expected that very soon, no one will be left untouched. Smith experienced the effects of the disease first hand. His grandfather, Bill Pritchard, of Canton, suffered from Alzheimer’s for five years before he passed away. Although Smith was only in the seventh grade when his grandfather died, he remembers how the disease robbed his grandfather of life and changed their family forever. Smith is gathering donations for his participation in the Walk to End Alzheimer’s. He has already surpassed his personal goal of raising more than $250. By contributing, family and friends will join Smith on that day to honor the memory of his grandfather and raise money for a cure. “Our goal is to raise awareness of this disease and raise funds for more research,” said

LEHMAN CATHOLIC High School chaplain, the Rev. Dan Hess, discusses the Troy Walk to End Alzheimer’s with Josh Smith, who plans to participate in the event in memory of his grandfather. Smith. “It is important for my generation and future generations to defeat this disease.” The Troy Walk to End Alzheimer’s is just one of a number of area events sponsored by the Miami Valley Chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association. The kickoff event was held at Carillon Historical Park in Dayton on Sept. 22. Antioch College in Yellow Springs hosted a walk on Saturday, followed by a walk at the Greenville City Park on Sunday. The Troy event on Sunday

will start at Troy Memorial Stadium at 1:30 p.m. with check-in beginning at 12:30 p.m. The following weekend on Oct. 13, a walk will begin at the Sidney Senior Center at 10 a.m. Dollars raised at these events benefit the care and support of those affected by Alzheimer’s in the Miami Valley area. A portion will also be sent to the national organization to fund the advancement of critical research to achieve the vision of a world without Alzheimer’s.

More than 30,000 teams throughout the United States are showing their trademark purple as they Walk to End Alzheimer’s this fall. Among those hundreds of thousands of walkers will be Josh Smith, son of Douglas and Juli Smith, of Piqua. A cure may be many years away, but Smith is convinced that even one person can make a difference. For more information about Alzheimer’s or the Walk to End Alzheimer’s, visit alz.org/walk.

Fairlawn receives Race to Top grant The Ohio Department of Education has awarded the Fairlawn Local School District a two-year Race to the Top Innovative AVID Grant totaling $43,000 and congratulated the district for “demonstrating a willingness to take the lead in how we can think differently and make Ohio’s schools better.” The Shelby County Educational Service Center serves as a grant collaborator. Fairlawn’s college preparation program targets seventhgrade students who are in the middle of the academic achievement spectrum, but whose character, work ethic and determination show that they could accomplish more with encouragement and a few of the right tools. Jo DeMotte, Fairlawn’s principal and AVID director, indicated that the vision is to add one AVID Classroom in grades 6 and 8 during the 2013-14 school-year and to eventually have AVID classrooms that progress with the same students through the 12th grade. “My work with ONET and innovative program models has afforded me the opportunity to visit schools across the state of Ohio. The AVID model is a proven model that focuses on college readiness. The work that is taking place in Fairlawn is above and beyond the levels of implementation that we would typically see in a school this early into a new program,” explained T.J. Smith, innovation specialist for AVID. “The fact that the AVID methodologies are already spreading and being implemented throughout the school building will be a success story that will be shared with other ONET schools and schools throughout Ohio.” What does an AVID classroom look like? Seventh-grade student Emily Lewis comments, “I

have learned many useful study skills, such as taking Cornell notes, organizing the AVID binder and studying in various ways. I dream of going to college.” Both Emily and AVID teacher, Thomas Crookshank, described the use of SLANT for his students — sit in the front, lean forward and you will become interested in your work, activate your thinking , note key information, and talk with the teacher. Emily now “makes it a point” to talk with all of her teachers. DeMotte described the AVID environment that includes Socratic Seminars as a wonderful experience and explains how AVID strategies, especially Cornell note taking and Socratic Seminars are being used by other Fairlawn teachers. By combining critical thinking, oratory skills, and a sense of community and shared experience, these exercises can provide all classrooms with a depth and character that benefit both student achievement and student self-esteem in the long run. The AVID classroom encourages academic rigor with the goal of helping students develop the capacity to understand content that is complex, ambiguous, provocative, and personally or emotionally challenging. DeMotte embraces these concepts in her school, “We are not afraid to fail because that is how you learn.” For more than 28 years, AVID has become one of the most successful collegepreparatory programs ever for low-income, underserved students, and today reaches more than 250,000 students in more than 3,500 U.S. schools in 45 states, Canada, and 15 other countries, AVID officials said. AVID’s systematic approach is designed to support students and educators as they increase school-wide learning and performance.

Riverside FFA officers attend conference DEGRAFF — Riverside High School FFA officers attended the first Ohio FFA Leadership Conference held recently at the Ohio Statehouse in Columbus. The conference began with a presentation by an Ohio Farm Bureau spokesman concerning how FFA members can influence their elected officials on agricultural issues. Delegates then participated in a political simulation by the Farm Bureau. Riverside officers were able to tour the statehouse, including the House of Representatives and Senate chambers, the governor’s office and the map room. Following the tour, Gov. John Kasich told students why he values agricultural education and FFA. The delegates then lunched with elected officials and heard remarks by Ohio FFA officers.

he Middle East is not a continent but a geographical region where three continents – Europe, Asia, and Africa – meet. It is this prime location that is mainly responsible for its historical importance and cultural identity. As long ago as 2000 B.C., the region that we now call the Middle East (it actually wasn’t called that until World War II) was a center of commerce and culture. Over the course of history, this area has been the location of several great civilizations, including the Persian Empire, the Byzantine Empire, and the Ancient Egyptians.

Word of the Week export — derived from the conceptual meaning as to ship the goods and services out of the port of a country

NIE Coordinator: Dana Wolfe / Graphic Designer: Scarlett E. Smith

This region is also important because it was the birthplace of three of the world’s most widely followed religions: Christianity, Islam, and Judaism. Today, the majority of people living in the Middle East are Muslims, or followers of Islam. In ancient and medieval times, cities in the Middle East were important centers of culture and commerce. Since World War II, the Middle East has taken on even more political and economic significance because it is the location of the world’s greatest known oil reserves. Oil is exported by the countries along the Persian Gulf to places all over the world.

The languages of the Middle East include Arabic, Persian (or Farsi), Turkish, and Hebrew. Some small communities, isolated by deserts and mountains, developed their own languages and distinct cultures, and many of those still exist today. The landscape of the Middle East is made up of mountains, dry plateaus, and deserts. The climate is mostly arid, or very dry. Although there are several great international airports in the Middle East, travel within the countries is still fairly primitive. Camels, donkeys, and other draft animals are only gradually being replaced by motorized vehicles as the primary means of transport.
