Two local groups approached the Sidney City School Board of Education on Monday during a work session meeting about possible uses for Central Elementary School. The Rev. David Chivington, senior pastor from the First United Methodist Church, addressed the board. The church is located directly across the street from Central Elementary. He was speaking on behalf of the ministerial association and was providing an option to the district. “We are aware of the fact that at this moment there is no homeless ministry in Sidney or Shelby County,” said Chivington. “Our statistics suggest that as many as 50 or better people will be homeless this winter and that requires our attention as part of the ministerial association.” The group would be interested in meeting with the board at a later date to discuss the possible purchase of the building for use as a homeless shelter. Chivington noted there were issues such as zoning that would have to be dealt with further down the road.

12 and under and children under five are free. The Haunted Woods will be open until Oct. 29. Schoffner takes pride in the fact that the event is accessible for families. “It’s really family oriented,” said Schoffner. “We’ve never charged for parking and we’re also handicap accessible.” According to Schoffner, there are kids who work at the Haunted Woods from Anna, Houston, Fairlawn, Botkins, Sidney and a whole group from Bellefontaine. “We’ve had three weeks and we have four more weeks,” said Schoffner. “We really like to do this as a community event.”
BY TOM BARNETT tbarnett@sdnccg.com Street Supterintendent Marty Keifer reviewed the department’s snow and ice management plan and Public Works director Chris Clark discussed Wapakoneta Avenue reconstruction progress during Sidney City Council’s October work session Monday night. In his power point presentation, Keifer told council the program aims to salt a “dusting” of snow within four hours and to plow and salt a 2- to 4inch storm within 12 hours. “Each weather event and
the city’s response will be unique, according to time of day, weather forecasts and ultimately, what the storm turns out to be,” he told council. “Up to 15 employees will be called for a salting event and up to 25 for a plowing event. “Ideal works shifts will be 12-hours, but are typically 16 hours. First priorities are thoroughfare roadways and vital areas including police, fire and service center driveways and roadways around Wilson Memorial Hospital,” Keifer stressed.

FIREFIGHTERS BATTLED a fire at an apartment complex at 648 Fair Road Monday night.
Fire damages apartments BY JENNIFER BUMGARNER jbumgarner@sdnccg.com Multiple apartments on Fair Road were damaged as a result of a fire on Monday night. Sidney Fire and Emergency Services personnel responded to 648 Fair Road at approximately 8:50 p.m. on a report of smoke detector activations in multiple apartments. On arrival, the crews discovered heavy smoke and fire conditions in the 10-unit building with multiple apartments well involved in fire. Crews established command, requested a box alarm assignment and initiated coordinated search and interior firefighting efforts. During the initial stages of the emergency scene command requested a second alarm to be dispatched for additional resources. After crews had completed the primary search of the building, it was determined that the conditions were not able to be maintained for further in-
terior attack. Firefighting efforts were transitioned from offensive to defensive, utilizing exterior master streams and aerial ladders from Sidney Fire and Shelby County Fire. Sidney firefighters along with firefighters from the Shelby Fire Department, Anna Fire Department, Port Jefferson Fire Department, Botkins Fire Department, and Anna Rescue remained on the scene for several hours. Anna Fire Department, Port Jefferson EMS, and Fort Loramie Rescue Squad provided a standby engine and medics, respectively, to Fire Station No. 1 to cover additional calls. The Northern Miami Valley Chapter of the American Red Cross provided assistance to the tenants of the building and firefighting crews on scene. The Sidney/Shelby County Fire Investigation Unit is currently investigating the cause and origin of the fire. No official determination has been made.

Fire Prevention Week begins Sunday It’s time for Fire Prevention Week and from Oct. 9-15, the Sidney Department of Fire & Emergency Services is joining forces with the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA). During this year’s fire safety campaign, firefighters and safety advocates will be spreading the word about the dangers of home fires and teaching local residents the best way to prevent fires in their homes is to make fire safety part of their daily life. “Fire Prevention Week commemorates the Great Chicago Fire,” said Deputy Fire Chief Rick Simon. “This two-day blaze killed more than 250 people, left 100,000 homeless and destroyed more than 17,000 buildings on Oct. 8-9, 1871.” That tragedy inspired reform across America, spurring new fire safety codes and public awareness campaigns. In 1920, President Woodrow Wilson issued the first National Fire Prevention Day proclamation, and since 1922, each October is designated Fire Prevention Month. This year’s theme focuses on how to protect families from fire by planning ahead and integrating simple behaviors into everyday life. By equipping their homes with fire prevention and protection systems and paying attention to potential fire hazards in their homes, families can make a difference that will last a lifetime and reduce fire injuries, deaths and property loss, fire officials said. Fire officials offer the following advice: • Plan and practice a home escape plan. When fire strikes, every second counts. Get everyone involved in making and practicing a
home fire escape plan so the whole family will be ready to leave the fire scene quickly and safely. • Plan two ways out of every room, pick an outside meeting place and practice your home fire escape drill at least twice a year. • Make sure everyone knows the sound of your smoke alarms. • Leave immediately if a fire occurs. • Don’t open doors that feel hot. • Tell firefighters if anyone is trapped in the house. • Smoke alarms provide the early warning needed to give people time to escape fire safely. Working smoke alarms cut the chances of dying in a reported fire in half. Roughly two-thirds of home fire deaths happen in homes with no smoke alarms or with smoke alarms that don’t work. Following these tips to make sure alarms are in good working order and ready to save lives: • Install alarms in every bedroom, outside each sleeping area and on every level. • Test alarms at least once a month. • Replace batteries at least once a year or when an alarm chirps, warning the battery is low. • Replace smoke alarms when they are 10 years old or sooner if they don’t respond properly. • Cooking is the No. 1 cause of home fires and injuries. Unattended cooking is by far the leading cause of cooking fires. • Keep anything that can catch fire away from the stovetop. • Don’t use the oven or stovetop if you are sleepy or have consumed alcohol. • Stay in the kitchen when frying, grilling or broiling food. If you
have to leave, even for a short time, turn off the stove. • Electrical failures or malfunctions cause more than 50,000 home fires each year, resulting in roughly 500 deaths and $1.3 billion in property damage annually. • Make sure you have ground fault circuit interrupters (GFCIs) in the kitchen, bathrooms, laundry, basement and outdoor areas. • Don’t overload receptacle outlets. • Replace or repair loose or damaged cords. • Smoking materials are the leading cause of fire deaths. • If you smoke, smoke outside. • Use deep, sturdy ashtrays. • Before throwing away butts and ashes, make sure they are out. • Never smoke in bed or when you’re tired or have consumed alcohol. • Stay safe and warm when heating your home. • Keep anything that can burn at least three feet away from furnaces, fireplaces, wood stoves, portable space heaters and other heating equipment. • Turn off space heaters when you go to bed or leave the room. • Never use your oven for heating. • Have heating equipment and chimneys inspected and cleaned annually by a qualified professional. Simon also wants to remind residents that the Department of Fire & Emergency Services has a supply of free smoke detectors for low- and moderate-income households. Residents are advised to stop by Fire Station No. 1 at 222 W. Poplar St. to find out if they qualify and pick up their free smoke detector.

IN THIS Sept. 29 photo, Procter & Gamble marketing director Kevin Hochman talks about the new packaging for Ivory soap brands at P&G's Cincinnati headquarters.
Ivory soap gets makeover CINCINNATI (AP) — Procter & Gamble’s oldest brand is getting a makeover — kind of. The consumer products company this month is updating the signature white soap packages for the 132year-old Ivory brand with colorful, eye-catching packages, a remade logo and a new marketing campaign. But the soap itself isn’t changing, nor is P&G’s basic message for it. “The heritage has always been about purity, and the fact that it does what it says it’s going to do,” said Kevin Hochman, a P&G mar-
keting director. “It cleans really well.” The remake is part of an effort by the Cincinnati-based company to breathe new life into Ivory. It comes at a time when Americans are scaling back on spending in the down economy, but are looking for little, cheap ways to pamper themselves, by say, taking a long, hot shower. As P&G has focused on bigger, fastergrowing brands, the white bar of soap has lagged behind its rival Dove and faced increasing competition from the likes of Dial and Irish Spring.
Drug dealers tap seniors for pills COLUMBUS (AP) — Drug dealers around Ohio are developing new sources for prescription painkillers by buying them from senior citizens, sometimes as the patients leave pharmacies, according to a new state report that shows Ohio’s prescription painkiller epidemic is continuing and in some cases may be getting worse. The report being released this week by the Ohio Substance Abuse
Monitoring Network also blames an increase in heroin use on addicts switching from prescription painkillers, which are more expensive and harder to obtain. “Once people get to a certain point in their addiction and they can no longer afford to purchase prescription opiates, they almost invariably move to heroin,” said Orman Hall, director of the Ohio Department of Alcohol and Drug Addiction Services.

include steep roadways and critical sidewalks, the nine block downtown area and roadways around schools. Street crews will then focus on collector streets routing traffic from local roadways to thoroughfares and finally, all other alleys dead ends and cul-de-sacs. Keifer said the approaching winter may be especially challenging with four vacancies in the street department’s pool of operators. The program will rely on support from underground utility, parks and recreation, fleet maintenance, water treatment and wastewater plant employees to fill the void. Available equipment includes nine 5-ton dump trucks with salt spreaders and snow plows, seven 1ton dump trucks with spreaders and plows, eight 3/4-ton pickup trucks with plows, two front end loaders, three back-hoe/front end loaders, a skid steer tractor and two sidewalk tractor spreaders with plows or snow blowers. Keifer said department personnel will be maintaining more than 100 miles of streets, 103 cul-de-sacs, 62 dead ends and more than 16 miles of alleys. On the bright side, he reported road salt prices continue to moderate and are currently $63 a ton, down from $75 to $150 in 2009. The city has budgeted $116,500 for road salt. In his presentation, Clark told council the first phase of the Wapakoneta Avenue project, Hoeswisher Road to Parkwood Street, is nearing completion with a base course of asphalt being applied
this week. The final asphalt course will be applied before Thanksgiving after Phase 1B is completed. That phase, which began this week, will reconstruct Wapakoneta Avenue from Hoewisher to Interstate 75. During this phase, Clark advised Wapakoneta Avenue will be closed from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily, but will be accessible before and after those hours. Phase I construction costs are being funded with a $2 million ODOT Small Cities Grant, an Ohio Public Works Commission $407,780 grant and $495,944 in Shelby County funds.Utility work includes $226,466 from the city’s water fund and $48,064 in sewer funds. Clark said Phase 11 of the project, Parkwood Street to Russell Road, is currently under design with easement and right-of-way acquisition scheduled in 2012. A Small Cities grant of $1.5 million has been approved and an Ohio Public Works grant of $200,000 is pending. The design phase is being funded by $100,000 in income tax funds and tax subsidies will provide $37,000 for easements in 2012 and $21,051 for construction in 2013. Agenda items for council’s Oct. 10 and Oct. 24 legislative meetings and the Oct. 17 meetings of the zoning board of appeals and planning commission were reviewed by council prior to adjournment. Mayor Mike Barhorst then opened a special executive session meeting to discuss appointments to boards and commissions and personnel issues. No action was taken following the session.
SCHOOL “What we’re asking for is basically to begin a dialogue with the board,” said Starrett. “We’re learning as we go through this process and our interest is just in being able to continue to grow our services that we provide.” A possible goal for the group is to create a learning environment for students in grades K-8 who have dyslexia, Asperger’s Syndrome and autistic spectrum disorder, and have problems functioning in a regular classroom.

COLUMBUS (AP) — Campaigns on each side of Ohio’s contentious collective bargaining law are seeking to sway voters to support their cause through town-hall style telephone calls and events across the state, as early voting for this fall’s election began Tuesday. Among other ballot issues, voters will decide in the Nov. 8 election whether the state should toss out a law governing public employee unions’ negotiations. The measure signed by Gov. John Kasich in late March limits the collective bargaining abilities of more than 350,000 teachers, nurses, firefighters, police and other public workers. While unions can continue to negotiate wages, they cannot bargain on health care, sick time or pension benefits. Kasich urged his supporters in an email Tuesday to request an absentee ballot and vote yes to keep the new law in place. “It’s an issue of fairness — returning balance back to Ohio taxpayers,” the first-term governor Republican wrote.

NATION/WORLD BRIEFLY U.S. avoids shutdown WASHINGTON (AP) — The House passed a spending bill Tuesday to fund the government for six weeks, delaying a series of battles over spending and policy that include everything from labor law and environmental regulations to abortion and the Pentagon budget. The 352-66 vote sent the measure to President Barack Obama in time to avert a government shutdown at midnight. That ended a skirmish over disaster aid that seemed to signal far more trouble ahead as Obama and a bitterly divided Congress begin working on ironing out hundreds of differences, big and small, on a $1 trillion-plus pile of 12 unfinished spending bills.
Sidney Daily News,Wednesday, October 5, 2011
Christie says no to 2012 TRENTON, N.J. (AP) — After a surge of new speculation, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie declared with finality Tuesday that “now is not my time” to run for president, dashing the hopes of Republicans still searching for someone other than front-runners Mitt Romney and Rick Perry. Christie had insisted for months that he wouldn’t run. But then came an intense weekend of reconsideration before he made a firm announcement at a news conference at the New Jersey Statehouse. His decision means the campaign now basically belongs to Romney and Perry, battling to take on President Barack Obama three months before the first GOP voting. Though both men have extensive party support, Romney, the former Massachusetts governor, has failed to win over some skeptical conservatives, and Perry, the Texas governor, has been falling in opin-
ion polls as quickly as he had risen. Christie was the latest, perhaps last, hope of some establishment Republicans who had already been rejected by Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels, Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan and others who declined to run for president in 2012. He’s been governor of New Jersey for less than two years, but he’s cut the budget, curtailed public sector unions, and dealt with a Democratic legislature with disarming and combative confidence. Christie disputed the idea that his name was just one more on that list. “They weren’t searching. They came right to one target, and it was me,” he said Tuesday. “And it has always been me.” But he said he was sure, “Now is not my time.” There are still other potential challengers. Former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman
is showing some promise in New Hampshire; former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum has support from social conservatives in Iowa and former Godfather’s Pizza CEO Herman Cain is rising in national polls. Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin still hasn’t said whether she’ll run. But Christie’s announcement leaves Perry and Romney as the two Republicans who have the profile, campaign organization, fundraising prowess and early-state promise for a serious run at the nomination. Within hours, Christie donors started picking sides. The Romney campaign said Ken Langone, the Home Depot financier who helped lead the push to get Christie to run, had jumped on board. Iowa businessman Gary Kirke, who met with Christie earlier this year to urge him to run, announced he would support Perry.
Bernanke: Recovery ‘close to faltering’
Russia vetoes resolution UNITED NATIONS (AP) — Russia and China vetoed a European-backed U.N. Security Council resolution Tuesday that threatened sanctions against Syria if it didn’t immediately halt its military crackdown against civilians. It would have been the first legally binding resolution adopted by the Security Council since President Bashar Assad’s military began using tanks and soldiers against protesters in mid-March. Its defeat reflects the deep divisions in the U.N.’s most powerful body over how to address the ongoing violence in Syria, which the U.N. estimates has led to more than 2,700 deaths.
Bomb kills 70 MOGADISHU, Somalia (AP) — Al-Qaida-linked militants launched their deadliest single bombing in Somalia on Tuesday, killing 70 people and demonstrating how the group that blocked aid to famine victims can still mount devastating violence even after most of its fighters fled the capital in August. A truck loaded with drums of fuel exploded outside the Ministry of Education on one of central Mogadishu’s busiest streets, where students and their parents were registering for scholarships offered by the Turkish government. Rebels of the al-Shabab militant group immediately claimed responsibility for the bombing, saying it was striking government officials and foreigners — referring to African Union peacekeeping troops supporting the U.N.-backed regime.

IN THIS photo provided by WPIX11, divers and first responders help people to shore at a dock the East River after their helicopter crashed, Tuesday in New York. A helicopter with five people aboard crashed into river after taking off from a launch pad on the riverbank, killing one and injuring injuring others.
1 killed, 4 injured in helicopter crash NEW YORK (AP) — A helicopter on a private tour with five people aboard sputtered and crashed into the East River on Tuesday afternoon shortly after takeoff from a riverbank heliport, killing one passenger and injuring three others. The 40-year-old victim apparently was trapped inside as the chopper sank about 50 feet below the surface of the swiftmoving water, police said. New York Police Department divers (TSX:DYI.UN) pulled her from the water about 90 minutes after the Bell 206 Jet Ranger went down at around 3 p.m. She was pronounced dead at the scene. Emergency crews arrived within seconds of the crash to find the helicopter upsidedown in the murky water with
just its skids showing on the surface. The pilot, Paul Dudley, and three passengers were bobbing, and witnesses reported a man diving down, possibly in an attempt to rescue the remaining passenger. The passengers were friends of the pilot’s family: a husband and wife who were British and living in Portugal; the wife’s daughter, also British, who died at the scene; and the daughter’s Australian friend. The daughter and friend were living in Australia. The pilot’s wife, Sunhe Dudley, told The Associated Press that she had spoken to her husband briefly after the crash. “I think that he’s OK,” she said. “These were actually very dear friends of ours that
OUT OF THE BLUE Surfing to be school sport HONOLULU (AP) — Football wears the crown in Hawaii, but the real sport of kings is surfing. Hawaiian chiefs and royalty used to glide across the Pacific centuries ago as form of expression, to show courage and to compete. Today, it’s big business and people ride waves across the world. “Hawaii is the birthplace of surfing,” Gov. Neil Abercrombie said. “From Duke Kahanamoku to the thousands of residents and visitors who surf both recreationally and competitively, the sport is rooted in our culture and way of life.” Abercrombie’s comments come as Hawaii prepares to become the first state in the nation to make surfing an official high school sport, joining the likes of football, basketball, volleyball and swimming, starting as early as spring 2013.

were in the helicopter.” The passengers were pulled from the water shortly after emergency crews arrived on the scene, police spokesman Paul Browne said. Fire department rescue paramedics revived both women, who were in critical condition; the man was stable. All were hospitalized. The pilot swam to shore and was uninjured. The private chopper apparently had run into trouble and was trying to return to the heliport when it went into the river off 34th Street in midtown Manhattan, a few blocks south of the United Nations headquarters. It’s unclear what happened, but witnesses reported it was sputtering and appeared to be in some type of mechanical distress.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Europe has a debt crisis. America has a jobs crisis. Corporate profits could be in trouble. World financial markets are in turmoil. And no one seems prepared to ride to the rescue. Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke bluntly warned Congress on Tuesday of what most of America has sensed for some time: The economic recovery, such as it is, “is close to faltering.” The central bank chief spoke on a day when the stock market spent most of the trading hours in bear market territory — down 20 percent from its most recent highs in April. A late-day rally helped the market finish higher. Bernanke’s exchange with lawmakers seemed to capture the growing belief that no one is prepared to help the global economy in any meaningful way anytime soon. Speaking in unusually frank terms, he also captured the nation’s sour economic mood. The Fed chief was asked about protests around Wall Street, which went on for an 18th day as demonstrators railed against corporate greed and expressed frustration over the economy. Bernanke replied: “I think people are quite unhappy with the state of the economy and what’s happening. They blame, with some justification, the problems in the financial sector for getting us into this mess. And they’re dissatisfied with the policy response here in Washington. And at some level, I can’t blame them.” “Certainly, 9 percent unemployment and very slow growth is not a very good situation,” he added. “That’s why they are protesting.”
Knox returns home to Seattle

AMANDA KNOX gestures at a news conference in Seattle Tuesday after returning home from Italy. Knox was freed Monday after an Italian appeals court threw out her murder conviction for the death of her British roommate, Meredith Kercher.
SEATTLE (AP) — Amanda Knox returned to her hometown of Seattle on Tuesday and was as overcome with emotion as she was a day earlier in Italy, when she was acquitted on murder charges after four years in prison. “Thank you for being there for me,” she tearfully told her supporters in front of a crowd of reporters from two continents. “I’m really overwhelmed right now,” she said at a news conference minutes after she was escorted off a British Airways flight out of London. “I was looking down from the airplane, and it seemed like everything wasn’t real.” Knox’s life turned around dramatically Monday when an Italian appeals court threw out her conviction in the sexual assault and fatal stabbing of her British roommate. On Tuesday a courtroom picture of Knox crying after the ver-
dict was read appeared on the front pages of newspapers in Italy, the U.S., Britain and around the world. After arriving at the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, Knox sobbed at the news conference and held her mother’s hand as her lawyer Theodore Simon said her acquittal “unmistakably announced to the world” that she was not responsible for the killing of Meredith Kercher. After her parents offered their thanks to Knox’s lawyers and supporters, Knox spoke briefly, saying, “They’re reminding me to speak in English, because I’m having problems with that.” “Thank you to everyone whos believed in me, who has defended me, who has supported my family,” she said. “My family’s the most important thing to me so I just want to be with them.”

Gardeners install officers The Rainbow Gardeners held its fall banquet and installation of officers at Michael Anthony’s at the Inn in Versailles recently. Selma Geib installed new officers for the 2011-2013 term. Each position was represented by a floral-scented candle and a reading of the duties of each officer. Those elected for the next two years are Mary Lou Overton, president; Carole Carruthers, vice president; Ann Heeley, secretary; and Patt Van Skiver, treasurer. Starr Gould displayed arrangements in fall colors featuring pumpkinshaped containers and sunflowers, hydrangea, and obedient plant flowers from her own garden. Members received new program books with the theme, “Going Green.”
Outgoing President Sharon Allen gave each member a handmade thank-you card and a cloisonné-enameled bookmark with a floral design. Allen will become the club’s new Region 5 contact for the 2011-12 year. Jackie Thoma has held this position for the past 15 years. Members congratulated Ginny Shaw and Carruthers for co-chairing the Applefest Flower Show. Overton took mums left over from Applefest to the Hope Garden and to Wilson Memorial Hospital. Nancy Morgan, Region 5 Design Study chairperson, told members that the next Design Study will be at the OSU Extension Building on Fair Road Oct. 13 from 1 to 4 p.m. Naomi
Ormes will demonstrate two types of arrangements, and participants will need to take their own containers and plant material. Morgan provided several autumn tips: • Stop fertilizing perennials. • Watch for deals and sales on trees and shrubs. • Plant herb seeds indoors. • Fertilize lawns. • Plant spring-blooming bulbs when nighttime temperatures have stayed at around 50° for 2 weeks. The next meeting will be at the American Legion Oct. 11 at noon when Dr. Curtis Young, OSU Extension agent from Van Wert, will discuss beneficial and detrimental garden bugs and insects.
Sock & Buskin Community Theatre will hold auditions for a December production of “Rent.” Directed by Kevin Frazier-Jones, auditions will be Saturday at 2 p.m. at the Historic Sidney Theatre in downtown Sidney. Everyone, age 16 and older, is invited to audition with a prepared song. No more than 30 actors will be cast in the show. “Rent,” by Jonathan Larson, is set in the East Village of New York City, based loosely on Puccini’s “La Boheme” and follows a year in the life of a group of friends struggling to make it in the big city. Due to the adult nature of this show (language and situations), students age 16 and 17 must have an adult with them at the auditions to sign a consent form. Rehearsals will be mostly on weekends until tech week. The show will be performed Dec. 9-11 at The Historic Sidney Theatre. Anyone with questions may contact Frazier-Jones at (937) 638-2658.

During its recent meeting, the Shelby County Library Board of Trustees learned that state distribution of funds to the library in August was 7 percent lower than it was a year ago. Suzanne Cline, executive director, noted that this was expected
with the decrease given in the state biennium budget. Cline also reported that library expenditures were approximately 11 percent lower in August 2011 than in August 2010. The board learned that the library plans to purchase 12 computers,
most of which will be made available for public use because current public workstations are no longer able to keep up with the heavy use. The computers that will be replaced will be used by the Teen Cafe which now meets in the library several days each week.

HOROSCOPE
BY FRANCIS DRAKE What kind of day will tomorrow be? To find out what the stars say, read the forecast given for your birth sign. For Thursday, Oct. 6, 2011 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) This is the perfect day for serious discussions, about serious matters, with serious people. (You get the picture.) Address the division of labor and shared expenses with partners and friends. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Because your powers of concentration are excellent today, choose routine work that you normally might avoid. You’ll be good with boring details. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) For whatever reason, children seem to be an extra burden today. These things happen. Let’s face it: It goes with the territory. (Romance could be discouraging as well.) CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Discussions with an older family member will be serious. Listen respectfully, even if you don’t intend to take this person’s advice. (It makes him or her happy.) LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Mental work that requires attention to detail is a good choice today. You feel serious about life and just want to get something done. (This is good.) VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Financial matters seem discouraging today. You might not have enough money to buy something you want or to pay your bills. Nevertheless, you’re willing to work! LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Today is the kind of day where you can’t see the forest for the trees. That’s OK. Your critical faculties are sharp; just focus on the details. You’ll get a lot done. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) This is a wonderful day to do any kind of research. Dig deep for the answers you’re seeking. Nothing is too much trouble. You’ll look under every rock. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Discussions with someone older might be discouraging today. Don’t let this happen. Instead, look for ways to gain from his or her advice or experiences. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Because people in authority are serious and sober today, this is really a poor day to ask for what you want. Their response likely will be, “Talk to the hand.” (Wait for another day.) AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) This is a wonderful day to study anything, because you’re in a serious frame of mind and your powers of concentration are excellent. Tackle any subject that interests you. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Now is the time to clean up loose details about insurance matters, estates, inheritances, taxes and debt. Just roll up your sleeves and get it done. YOU BORN TODAY You’re adventurous and brave. New territory doesn’t frighten you. On the contrary, it beckons. In particular, you want to improve your environment and the lives of others. But you also are a romantic who believes in living life to the fullest. You are a loyal friend and highly entertaining! In the year ahead, partnerships and close friendships will be your primary focus. Birthdate of: Ioan Gruffudd, actor; Jeremy Sisto, actor; Amy Jo Johnson, actress.

Honda leads automakers with most ‘green buildings’ gine Plant, who was involved in the construction of the new facility. “This is part and parcel of our commitment to being good neighbors in the communities where we do business and good stewards of the environment and our finite natural resources.” During construction of the expanded facility, the company used locally sourced materials where possible and diverted more than 185 cubic yards of construction material from landfills, recycling or reusing more than 50 percent of total construction materials. The expanded facility is now equipped with cool-roof materials, more energy-efficient lighting controls and advanced indoor-airmanagement quality systems. Water conservation measures in the facility include the use of lowflow toilets and bathroom fixtures, which have reduced the building’s water use by approximately 30 percent from earlier levels. Annual carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from the facility have been cut by approximately 470,000 pounds. “In order to serve the needs of Honda manufacturing facilities, we needed additional engi-
Pumpkin People attract hundreds of voters NEW BREMEN — With creativity and participation at an all-time high, it’s no surprise that hundreds of votes were cast in the New Bremen Pumpkin People contest again this year. More than 20 businesses participated in the annual contest put on by the New Bremen Community improvement Corporation and the Southwestern Auglaize County Chamber of Commerce. “We continue to see lots of traffic in town as people visit the businesses where the Pumpkin People are hanging out,” said chamber director Scott Frey. “This is a fun way to showcase our local businesses and get ready for Pumpkinfest.” The Chamber of Com-
merce provided the prizes to support the contest, including a $100 discount on chamber membership for the winning business. The top 10 vote-getting Pumpkin People are: 10. “Yankee Doodle” (New Bremen Massage Clinic); 9. “Johnny Cash” (First National Bank of New Bremen); 8. “Russell” (Platinum Auto Group); 7. “Tinseled Truvy” (Hair Performers); 6. “Up, Up and Away” (Miller Insurance Agency); 5. “Pizza Pumpkin Pete” (Pizza Hut); 4. “The Eye Doc” (New Bremen Eye Care, LLC); 3. “Penny Bea Savin’” (Minster Bank); 2. “The Coroner Café” (Bolly’s Restaurant); 1. “Y Not Join” (The Auglaize-Mercer Family YMCA).
neering resources,” said Mark Starrett of Honda Engineering North America’s Powertrain Division. “While building out these new capabilities, we also identified an opportunity to further Honda’s environmental goals and to reduce our environmental footprint.” Key contractors working together on the project added their expertise during construction of the 18,500-square-foot office expansion. Devon Industrial Group, Detroit, was the construction manager. Regal Plumbing and Heating, Sidney, installed the energy-efficient mechanical and heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems, while Comfort Systems USA, Miamisburg, installed the controls system. Thomas & Marker Construction, Bellefontaine, constructed the building and finishes. SSOE Group Inc., Toledo, was the design engineer. Honda has been steadily expanding its portfolio of LEED-certified green buildings in North America since 1999, when the company’s Gresham, Oregon, parts warehouse
and service training facility became the first mixed-use industrial building in America to achieve LEED-Gold EB (Existing Building) certification. Green building features at Honda facilities in the U.S. include such items as conservation easements; low-flow bathroom and kitchen fixtures; more energyefficient heating and air-conditioning systems, lamps and lighting controls; Energy Star-rated appliances; cool roof materials; and wood certified by the Forest Stewardship Council. In 2006, Honda became the first automaker to announce voluntary CO2 emissions reduction targets for its global fleet of automobile, powersports and power equipment products and its global network of manufacturing plants. Today, the company is striving for even greater reductions in CO2 emissions that contribute to global climate change, while also working to minimize waste, water use and the total environmental footprint of its operations worldwide.

Drivers warned to watch out for deer Ohio has eight million drivers, 121,000 miles of roadway, and 600,000 deer. Trying to predict when and where a deer and motorist will meet is an impossible task, but drivers who understand how deer behave are more likely to avoid a crash. The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) warns all Ohio drivers that autumn brings thousands of collisions between vehicles and deer, so drive with caution. “Fewer daylight hours, combined with the increased movement of deer due to mating and hunting seasons, increase the risk of collisions,” said ODOT Director Jerry Wray. In 2010, there were 23,201 deer-vehicle crashes statewide with 1,063 people injured and four people killed. November saw the most crashes with 5,012, or 167 per day. Because many deer-vehicle collisions go unreported to police and local authorities, the actual number of crashes throughout Ohio may be as high as 60,000 each year. ODOT advises motorists to use these driving tips to help avoid collisions with deer: • Watch for deer-crossing signs and drive with extreme caution, especially in the posted areas. • If you see one deer near the road, expect that others will follow. • Watch for deer especially at dawn and after sunset. About 20 percent of these crashes occur in early morning, while more than half occur between 5 p.m. and midnight. • Always wear seat belts and drive at safe, sensible speeds for road conditions. If a vehicle strikes a deer, motorists should report the crash by calling local law enforcement, the sheriff’s department, the Ohio State Highway Patrol, or the Ohio Department of Natural Resources — even if there is no damage to the motorist’s vehicle.

2 escape with minor injuries after train strikes stalled car
BY TOM BARNETT tbarnett@sdnccg.com The Piqua Post of the Ohio Highway Patrol is continuing its investigation of a car-train crash in which the two occupants of the auto escaped with only minor injuries Friday night. The crash occurred shortly before 8:30 p.m. Friday on Ferree Road
at the CSX Railroad crossing as a 1996 Ford Thunderbird driven by Kendra Maynard, 21, of Sidney became stalled between a ditch and a portion of the tracks as the train approached. Troopers said the 72car train struck the vehicle, dragging it down the tracks. Maynard and a passenger, Cody Maynard, 19, were transported to Wilson Memorial Hospital with minor injuries by Perry Port Salem Rescue. Port Jefferson firefighters also assisted at the crash scene. The crash scene is several
miles east of Pasco. Troopers said the two occupants of the auto were fortunate, having escaped serious injury due to the fact the vehicle was stopped by the ditch and only partially on the rail crossing. A trooper said the preliminary investigation indicates the crash resulted from driving at an usafe speed. According to reports, she took a curve too fast, struck an embankment and ended up on the tracks. The driver was cited for duties related to railroad grade crossings.

DONOHUE: I am an 87-yearold lady who has had atrial fibrillation since 2003. My cardiologists ordered beta blockers. Unfortunately, I was allergic to all they tried. Amiodarone made me break out in hives on the hands, arms and chest. I went to a doctor who specializes
in natural remedies. He suggested I try hawthorn. This resulted in fewer episodes of fibrillation. I also stumbled onto a way to stop an attack of it. It is to immerse your face in a bowl of ice water. It works beautifully. Why don’t doctors share this simple procedure with patients and spare them misery? — J.M. ANSWER: You have paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, an erratic heartbeat that comes on episodically and goes away on its own. In the best of all worlds, if attacks are frequent or prolonged, it’s wiser to prevent them with medicines rather than to abort them with maneuvers like immersing the face in ice water. That’s an old treatment. If you have gotten an OK from your heart doctor, then I will mind my own business.

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 fake and eventually bounces and the seller loses the wired amount. While banks and Western Union branches are trained at spotting fake checks, these types of scams are growing increasingly sophisticated and fake checks often aren't caught for weeks. Funds wired through Western Union or MoneyGram are irretrievable and virtually untraceable. If you have questions regarding scams like these or others, please contact the Ohio Attorney General’s office at (800)282-0515.

It rained on 21 of September’s 30 days, producing a grand total of 7.24 inches of precipitation during the month. The total swelled Sidney and Shelby County’s year-to-date rainfall to 42.03 inches. The area’s largest rain event was recorded Sept. 25 when 1.95 inches fell. Another 0.57 inches accumulated the next day. The rain gauge had also measured 0.54 of an inch earlier on Sept. 7. Before summer left the scene on Sept. 23, the area had basked in typical September temperatures mostly in the 70s. Sept. 1, 2 and 3, area residents endured consecutive high readings of 96, 98 and 97 degrees. Area weather data is recorded by the Sidney Wastewater Treatment plant, official weather recording station for Shelby County.

Some students find virtual public school right for them BY JENNIFER BUMGARNER jbumgarner@sdnccg.com JACKSON CENTER — Some local kids are going back to school without leaving home. Approximately 20 students from Shelby County are attending the Ohio Connections Academy, a tuition-free, virtual public school. Students attend the school from home or other locations outside of a traditional classroom. There are more than 2,700 public school students across the state who are involved in this program. The Yarkosky family from Jackson Center is one family that is logged onto this program. Erin and Greg Yarkosky have three children, Madison, Kieran and Tyler. Kieran and Tyler currently attend Jackson Center Local Schools, but Madison is attending her classes online. The Yarkosky family doesn’t have a problem with the local schools but believe that this was the right move for their daughter. “She’s a bright kid and needed something more engaging and challenging,” said Erin. “She skipped the fourth grade and is now in the fifth grade.” The process to enroll in the school was very similar to enrolling a student in a local school. The Ohio Connections Academy looked at Madison’s Ohio Achievement Test scores and grades and also spoke with her principal. The school year is from late August through May, just like traditional schools, and the parents are responsible for entering attendance. Unlike traditional schools, the hours are flexible. “She has to attend 26 hours a week,” said Erin. “If she’s sick, we still have to send in a doctor’s note.” The virtual school provides all of the materials for the family including workbooks and text books. Tests are done online, but there are portfolios that the student is responsible for and there are even sheets for physical education. “You can mail in their work or scan it and email it to the teacher,” said

Lehman plans ‘NASCAR’ homecoming The senior class at Lehman Catholic High School has chosen “NASCAR” as the theme for the school’s annual homeBennett coming festivities Friday and Saturday. The fourth race of the annual Chase for the Sprint Cup will run Friday at the Talladega Superspeedway Baker in Talladega, Ala. The timing of the race prompted members of the senior class who follow NASCAR to suggest the idea to their classmates. On Friday night, the Lehman football team will be in a race of their own as they take on Dayton Christian at Piqua’s Alexander Stadium. For Saturday’s dance, the Jerry DeLong Gymnasium will be decorated with the racing theme to celebrate homecoming. Beginning at 6:45 p.m. before the game on Friday, the Lehman band and cheerleaders will lead a parade around Purk Field, featuring banners created by each class depicting the homecoming theme. Lehman President Michael Barhorst, Principal Denise Stauffer, homecoming grand marshal Joe Harrmann and the king and queen candidates will also be part of the parade. Each member of the homecoming court will be introduced during pregame

ceremonies and then the 2011 homecoming queen and king will be announced. After the crowning, the Lehman marching band will take the field for the playing of the fight song, the alma mater and the national anthem. Following pregame festivities, the kickoff will follow at 7:30 p.m. Grand marshal for this year’s activities is business and computer teacher Joe Harrmann. Harrmann is in his second year as a Lehman faculty member and is also the freshman class adviser. The grand marshal is chosen by the members of the senior class. The 2011 queen candidates are Meghan Bennett, daughter of Jim and Missy Bennett, of Houston; Abby Ciriegio, daughter of Julie Stewart and Mitch Ciriegio, both of Sidney; Meghan Earhart, daughter of Jeff and Kelly Earhart of Piqua; Kerrie Josefovsky, daughter of Henry and Bonnie Josefovsky
of Piqua; Colleen Kinninger, daughter of Dave and Barb Kinninger, of Sidney; Amy Watercutter, daughter of Bill Watercutter, of Piqua, and Jackie Watercutter, of Pickerington; and Maria Yannucci, daughter of Michael and Susan Yannucci, of Piqua. King candidates are Alex Baker, son of Tim and Karen Baker, of Sidney; Michael Comer, son of Tom and Ann Comer, of Piqua; David Freytag, son of Dan and Jean
Freytag, of Sidney; Solomon King-White, son of Natua King, of Troy; Logan Monnin, son of Rhonda Quinter, of Sidney, and Stacy Monnin, of Fort Loramie; Ben Thieman, son of Jim and Tonya Thieman, of Sidney; and Matt Ulrich, son of Gerry and Jane Ulrich, of Sidney. Judging of the class banners will take place before the game. The winning banner will be announced at halftime.
Academia results announced Following last-minute challenges, the results of the first Academia matches are finally official. There were three separate matches. One took place at Anna. Lehman came in first, Anna placed second and Jackson Center was third. At the match in Botkins, Sidney took first place, followed by Botkins with second and Fort Loramie at third. The third match took place at Fairlawn. Russia took first place, Fairlawn was second and Houston finished in third. The delay in the release of official results stems from a significant amount of last-minute challenges that required thoughtful analysis, competition organizers said. There were five challenges and three points awarded.

Rangers advance to ALCS Loramie ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — The Tampa Bay Rays simply ran out of comebacks. Adrian Beltre hit three home runs, Ian Kinsler also went deep and the Texas Rangers knocked the Rays out of the playoffs Tuesday with a 4-3 victory in Game 4 of their American League division series. “It’s always painful, especially being around the league for this long,” Tampa Bay designated hitter Johnny Damon said. “You never know when your last opportunity is going to be. We battled very tough. We had a good enough team to win, and keep on winning. It just seemed Texas definitely had our number.” Unable to win a home game against Texas again, the Rays were eliminated under their own roof by the Rangers for the second consecutive year. Last season, it was Cliff Lee who pitched Texas to a first-round triumph in Game 5 at Tropicana Field. This time, Beltre powered the defending AL champions to a 3-

TEXAS RANGERS third baseman Adrian Beltre (29) hits his third home run of the game in the seventh inning against the Tampa Bay Rays, during Game 4 of baseball’s American League division series Tuesday. 1 victory in the best-of-five matchup. “We just have to keep trying to get better for the next opportunity to meet them in the playoffs and hopefully
come out on top next time,” Rays manager Joe Maddon said. “I am very proud of our guys.” Tampa Bay, which pulled off a remarkable rally in September to win the AL wild card, certainly went down fighting. Sean Rodriguez barreled over Rangers catcher Mike Napoli to score an early run and Casey Kotchman’s one-out single in the ninth got the Rays within 4-3. But closer Neftali Feliz retired Matt Joyce on a foul popup and Desmond Jennings on a grounder to earn his third save of the series.
Phillies 3, Cardinals 2 ST. LOUIS (AP) — Pinchhitter Ben Francisco and closer Ryan Madson made manager Charlie Manuel's moves look smart, and the Philadelphia Phillies held off the St. Louis Cardinals 3-2 Tuesday for a 2-1 lead in their NL playoff series. Francisco batted for pitcher Cole Hamels and broke open a scoreless game with a two-out, three-run homer in the seventh inning.
Madson earned his first multi-inning save of the year. He came in and got Allen Craig to sharply ground into a double play with the bases loaded to escape in the eighth, then worked around Yadier Molina's RBI single in the ninth. The Phillies, favored to win it all after a franchise-record 102-win season, can finish off the wild-card Cardinals in Game 4 Wednesday, with Roy Oswalt opposing Edwin Jackson. Francisco's shot off Cardinals starter Jaime Garcia was only his second hit in 19 atbats in the postseason. "I knew the way the game was going I was probably going to be in there to pinchhit off a lefty," Francisco said. "Got up there with a runner in scoring position, I was just trying to get a hit up the middle and he left one up and luckily it got out of here." Hamels struck out eight in six scoreless innings. He's a franchise-best 7-4 in the postseason with a 3.09 ERA.
stays in first Fort Loramie remained alone in first place in County volleyball with a 25-16, 25-14, 25-23 victory over Fairlawn in action Tuesday. The Lady Redskins are now 8-1 in the league. Loramie got eight kills from Lindsey Hilgefort and Kelly Turner and seven from Darian Rose. Julie Hoying had 29 assists and Danielle Wehrman 13 digs. For Fairlawn,which is 4-6 in the league, Olivia Cummings had nine kills and six digs, Kara Short five kills, Haley Slonkosky 13 digs and McKenzie Hirschfeld 10 assists. Loramie won the JV match in two. • Sidney won in the Greater Western Ohio Conference tournament, beating Trotwood 25-11, 25-10, 25-8 Tuesday. Rachel Huston served six aces for Sidney, Shelbie Anderson had six kills, Allison Neu five kills and Kristin Beigel six assists.

SIDNEY’S PRESTON Heath slides for the ball hit by Piqua player Evan Grissom in Greater Western Ohio Conference
North Division boys soccer action at Piqua Tuesday night. Sidney won a tight game, 3-2.
Jackets close in on another GWOC North title with win Go to 3-0 in division with 3-2 win over Piqua PIQUA — Sidney jumped out to a 3-0 lead and still led by that much with seven minutes remaining. But the Jackets had to hang on down the stretch and survive some questionable calls to pull out a key 3-2 win over Piqua in Greater Western Ohio Conference North Division boys soccer action here Tuesday. The win was a big one for Sidney, which has won or shared the last four GWOC North titles. Coupled with Vandalia’s win over Troy, Sidney is now the only unbeaten team remaining in league play. The Jackets are 3-0 in the North, and Troy and Vandalia are both 2-1. Sidney hosts Troy next Tuesday and a win would likely give the Jackets an outright title, since the last game is against winless Trotwood. Sidney led 1-0 at the half on a goal by Zach Austin. Brady Gaylor had the assist. In the second half, the Jackets made it 2-0 when Pre-
ston Heath scored off an assist by Dustin Lorenzo. Gaylor then got an unassisted goal to make it 3-0. But Piqua battled back and cut the lead to 3-2 with still four minutes remaining in the contest. “We played well and it was a tough game,” said Sidney coach Eric Harlamert. “We pressured them and had a lot of attacks, but Piqua kept hustling and coming right at us.” Before the Jackets take on Troy next week, they play at Beavercreek Thursday.
Knoxville wins New Knoxville blanked Spencerville in boys soccer action Tuesday. The Rangers got three goals from Oeding, two in the first half off assists from Yeatts and Ceroni. Mackey scored in the second half unassisted and Oeding added another goal off another Ceroni assist. The fifth goal came when Spencerville knocked the ball into its own goal.
New Knoxville Spencerville 23-6.

Girls Lehman and FranklinMonroe battled to a 1-1 tie in action at F-M Tuesday. The verdict leaves the Lady Cavs at 7-2-3 on the season. After a scoreless first half, Franklin-Monroe scored with 16 minutes to play for a 1-0 lead. Lehman came right back three minutes later, however, with Abby Ciriegio scoring off an assist from Madeline Franklin. Lehman outshot F-M 11-2 in the first half and 23-8 in the game. “We are really struggling to put it in the net,” said Lehman coach Bill Ramey. “Their goalie (Aubrey Myers) had a heckuva game. She had some tremendous saves. But we also hit a lot of shots right at her. “Our defense was strong,” he added. “We didn’t give them much. But they scored on a direct kick. We got to it, but they followed it in.”
Saturday Jackets nip Vandalia Sidney went to 2-0 in the Greater Western Ohio Conference North with a key 1-0 win over Vandalia in a rescheduled boys soccer game Saturday at Sidney. The game, which was postponed Wednesday, came down to a goal by Chris Farrell, who took a pass from Dustin Lorenzo and chipped it over Vandalia’s 6-foot-6 goalie. “It was a very hard, intense battle,” said Sidney coach Eric Harlamert. “I really give a lot of credit to our goalie Blair Wilson for the shutout, and Blake Steenrod, our sweeper. Everybody played real well and did the job. It was quite a game and quite a victory.” The win puts Sidney in a tie for first with Troy in the North at 2-0 and the Jackets are now 4-6-2 overall. The loss was only the second for Vandalia, which is now 6-2-3. Sidney is at Piqua Tuesday. The junior varsity game went to Vandalia 1-0.
Russia handed Jackson Center a costly setback in County volleyball play Monday, beating the Lady Tigers 18-25, 25-23, 27-25, 26-24. The win puts Russia at 7-2 in the County and leaves Jackson at 7-3 and two games behind league-leading Fort Loramie. For Russia, which is now 14-4 overall, Olivia Monnin and Ashley Borchers had 10 kills apiece, with Borchers adding 15 assists and seven blocks, and Monnin 22 digs. Taylor Daniel had nine kills and Bethany York seven, and Emily Francis had 19 assists and 13 digs. Abbie Goubeaux added 25 digs and Kylie Wilson five blocks to go with four kills. The Lady Tigers got 11 kills and two blocks frrom Haley Elchert, nine kills from Brittany Foster and Courtney Gies, 34 assists and 16 digs from Ann Frieders, 17 digs from Brooke Richard and 14 from Courtney Zimpfer. The junior varsity game was won by Russia, 30-28, 2515. Nicole DeLoye had nine kills for Russia, Claire Sherman 20 assists and Taylor Borchers 14 digs. • Minster defeated Houston 25-9, 25-18, 25-13 Monday. For Houston, Monique Booher and Kortney Phipps had five kills each, Nicole Maier 14 assists and Kristine Everett eight digs. For Minster, Kassi Brown had 12 kills and Sami Brown 10, Claire McGowan added six and Madeleine Eiting five. See LORAMIE/Page 19

Winter Hitting League set at Extra Innings The Louisville Slugger Winter Hitting League will be held at Extra Innings beginning in November, it was announced today. Extra Innings, an indoor training facility for baseball and softball, is located in Troy at 958 S. Dorset Road. The league consists of teams of three players that compete again each other to score as many points as possible in four-inning games. The goal is to hit target areas in the training tunnels to score points, and the team with the highest point total at the end of the game is the winner. Teams will be playing for bragging rights and prizes. The Extra Innings staff will score the games and provide hitting tips. Teams will play a six-game schedule over seven weeks with a championship tourna-

Six weeks into the season, 10 have winning records, 17 have losing ledgers, and four have broken even. Only Lockland is unblemished while seven squads are winless. Fort Loramie got a big win last week against previously unbeaten D-V Dayton Christian which vaulted them into the top spot (See Scoreboard). That can be solidified when Waynesfield visits on Friday. Ohio High School Athletic Association Commissioner Dan Ross will also be in attendance at the game and will handle the coin toss prior to the contest.

Pronunciation guide Channel 7’s Mike Hartsock covered the Loramie win over Dayton Christian at West Carrollton. He quickly knew that he needed help with the pronunciation of the last name of the Redskin quarterback, “Guillozet.” His first guess was “gill-O-zet” but he lacked confidence in that choice. What would he do with Touchdown 7 airtime not far away? The veteran sportscaster had an idea, and he shared it with us on Saturday at the Dayton Flyers game. “I’d played golf with (retired Dayton Daily News writer) Bucky Albers on Friday morning,” Hartsock explained. “He’s from Fort Loramie so he should know the name. I called him. Bucky told me the name is not traditional in Loramie but was reasonably sure it was “gee-o-zee” so that’s what I went with.” Turns out that Mike got it right. Bucky was also right; Seth Guillozet’s father is from

me work harder, it makes me do things a little bit more. But you can’t let it affect you. You’ve got to continue to get better.” Fickell, who replaced Jim Tressel who was forced out of the job in the midst of an NCAA probe into his lying about possible violations, is trying to regroup his troops. At a meeting with the players after the latest suspensions were announced on Monday, many walked away with their heads down. After Saturday’s loss, center Mike Brewster called the defeat one of the most painful of his career. Thirty of the offense’s 63 plays went for no gain or a loss. “It’s just frustration that you can’t get anything going,” he said of Michigan State’s plan to stack the line of scrimmage with defenders to shut down the run and dare Ohio State to pass. “I felt like there were guys everywhere in the box, which was frustrating. We’ve got to find out a way to get it done.” Fickell said there is no alternative to trying to turn things around. “We just have to do a better job of figuring out

nearby Russia. Hartsock was then given some background on the situation. Regular QB Ryan Humphreys was injured in the opener. While his last name is easy to pronounce, Humphreys would have been throwing the ball to Guillozet if not for the injury, and Hartsock would have still had to call his media and golfing buddy for advice.
7 p.m. start Lehman and Fort Loramie fans who like the early 7 p.m. start used by the Northwest Central Conference shouldn’t look forward to it. Those two teams will join the NWCC next season, and that league currently starts all of its league games at 7, a half-hour earlier than most other schools. But Lehman coach Dick Roll said that there is a motion before the league to return to the 7:30 starting time. Roll said he thinks the motive behind the motion is confusion for the fans. League games start at 7 in the NWCC, but non-league games on the road start when the home team says. That can lead to confusion. For example, Riverside has six games this season starting at 7 and the other four at 7:30.
The gridiron to the links Sidney native and former head coach (198487) Bryan Deal is no longer working the sidelines at Fox Chapel in
suburban Pittsburgh but he’s still coaching a fall sport as the boys golf coach of a traditionally strong program in western Pennsylvania. Deal’s first season with the Foxes golf team has started well with a 7-1 dual mark before tourney play began. His own golf game has always been solid but his six-handicap may be headed even lower since he’s now playing more than ever.
Homecoming queen kicks game-winner This story is getting a lot of attention all over the country, even on the nightly news Tuesday. Shortly after being named homecoming queen, a Michigan girl gave her fellow students another big reason to cheer: Brianna Amat kicked the field goal that proved to be the difference as Pinckney Community High School beat Grand Blanc 9-7 on Friday. Earlier, she rode in Pinckney’s homecoming parade, wearing her football uniform, along with the team’s quarterback. She tells the Livingston County Daily Press & Argus of Howell that after the soccer season ended last school year she gave field goal kicking a try at the urging of the school’s coaches. She has been playing soccer since age 3. Not to be outdone, Springfield Shawnee kicker Carly Gregory was elected Homecoming queen, then went 5for-5 on PAT kicks.

what our guys can do and what our guys can handle. And we will,” he said of criticism of offensive coordinator Jim Bollman and the rest of his staff. “There’s going to be growing pains. It’s nothing that a good offensive performance or a good win won’t make up for.” This was supposed to be the week that the Buckeyes got a boost from four players returning from suspension. But athletic director Gene Smith, at a news conference on Monday, announced that last year’s leading rusher, Daniel Herron, and the team’s leading returning receiver, DeVier Posey, would still be held out. Before, the reason was accepting cash and free ink from a local tattooparlor owner. The latest
revelation was that both had been overpaid for summer jobs from a Cleveland-area booster who has been banned from contact with the program. So the Buckeyes are in a state of flux. It’s an old one-liner that has never been more apropos: You truly can’t tell the players at Ohio State without a scorecard. Two players — left tackle Mike Adams and defensive end Solomon Thomas — are returning for Nebraska after serving five-game suspensions for involvement in Tattoogate. Fickell said Tuesday that starting defensive tackle Nathan Williams is still not ready to play after undergoing arthroscopic knee surgery four weeks ago.

LEHMAN’S MEGHAN Bennett returns the ball during district tennis action Tuesday in Troy. Bennett advanced to the district tournament next week. ball return on the tennis courts, attempting to wear opponents down by consistently returning the ball to the middle of the court. “Very difficult to face,” Booth said about Borgerding’s style. “What tends to happen is you start to play their game and their style.” And while Bennett may have had that happen a few times, she was big on the clutch points, outlasting Borgerding 64, 6-3. “This is the match I lost then,” Bennett said, referring to two years ago when she missed going to district in singles by one match. “I was able to win today.” The first key moment came late in the first set. After Borgerding had a break to get within 5-4, Bennett finished off the set. “That was huge,” Bennett said. “Especially playing a girl who plays that style. Hats off to her. She is very good at what she does.” In the second set, Bennett was leading 3-2 when Borgerding asked for a line judge. That seemed to fuel the Lehman senior’s fire, winning the next two games at love and holding serve at 5-3 to finish off the match. “I think Meghan (Bennett) did a great job of keeping her composure and handling every-
thing,” Booth said. Bennett became more aggressive over the final four games of the match. “When something like that happens, you just have to remember to play your match and you style — not their’s and that’s what I did.” She knows she has a big challenge Saturday, starting with second seed Kenzie Detrick in the semifinals. “Having done what I did today, if I just go out and play well Saturday, I will be happy, regardless of the outcome,” Bennett said. Harrelson and KingJosefovsky both came within one match of qualifying for district. Harrelson, a sophomore, reeled off three wins and had a 3-0 lead on Detrick before losing 6-3, 6-1. “Julia (Harrelson) had a great day,” Booth said. “She is not healthy. She has a leg injury and she scraped her knee in a match yesterday and again today.” King and Joesfovsky, both seniors, didn’t drop a set until they ran into Fetters and Finfrock in the quarterfinals. “I was thrilled to see them win two matches,” Booth said. “They really played well.” Semifinals are at 9 a.m. Friday, with the finals and third-place matches to follow.

TROY — Lehman’s undefeated doubles team of Kandis Sargeant and Nicole Larger didn’t mind a stress-free day on the courts Tuesday at the Troy Division II sectional tournament. The Lady Cavs Meghan Bennett was up to every challenge thrown at her. And as a result, they will all be playing in the tournament district next Thursday at the ATP Tennis Center in Mason. And Julia Harrelson and MacKenzie Brown in singles and the doubles team of Victoria King and Kerrie Josefovsky all had good showings as well. “Everybody played really well,” Lehman coach Pippy Booth said. The Larger-Sargeant duo upped their record to 22-0 on the season, while dropping just one game in advacing to Friday’s semifinals at Troy City Park. After a first-round bye, they defeated a doubles team from Greenville 6-0, 6-1 and followed that with a 6-0, 6-0 win over a Northeastern team in the goto-district match. Larger, like Sargeant, understands there are bigger matches ahead for the top seeds. “We had fun today, but there were some good point,” she said. “We know we are going to have some tougher matches Friday.” Which will lead to the ultimate goal — of getting to state. “We know (from last year) how important being a number one seed (at district) is,” Sargeant said, referring to being upset in the sectional finals. “It is important for us to win on Friday.” Bennett has now pulled the “District Double” of sorts. After advancing to district in doubles with Morgan Shroyer last year, Bennett is going in singles this year after three wins Tuesday. “To be honest, I enjoy both,” Bennett said. “I had a blast playing doubles with Morgan (Shroyer) last year, but I also enjoy playing singles as well.” After relatively easy wins over Kayla Pena (Urbana) and Shelby Shope (Dixie) by matching 6-0, 6-1 scores, Bennett, the third seed, faced unseeded Michelle Borgerding of Greenville in the go-to district match. Borgerding can best be described as a human
