City Council adopts Ohio 47 resurfacing agreements BY TOM BARNETT tbarnett@sdnccg.com Sidney City Council Monday night adopted separate resolutions consenting to the resurfacing of Ohio 47 within the city by the Ohio Department of Transportation. Cost estimates for two of the three project segments are greater than the city’s net cost included in the recently approved 2012-16 five-year plan. Adjustments will be made in future plans, Chris Clark, Public Works director, told council. The first resolution provides for the milling and over-
lay of the state route from Vandemark Road to Fourth Avenue in 2013. The project’s estimated cost is $340,387, funded 80 percent by ODOT. The city’s estimated share of the project is $68,077. Planned bid opening date is July 1, 2013. The city is to prepare ADA compliant curb ramps at an estimated cost of $60,000 and upgrade curb and gutter at $46,000. Both programs have been included in the city’s five-year plan. A second resolution provides for milling and overlay of Ohio 47 from Fourth Avenue to Ohio Avenue. Esti-

neral HomeSt. Henry on Tuesday from 2 to 8 p.m. and also today from 9 to 10 a.m. A professional grandma, “Gram” excelled at her work. Her door was always open. Her freezer stocked with homemade cookies, it was always the second stop for any of her five kids, 13 grandkids or 12 great-grandkids that cycled in and out of her home in North Star (the first stop was to hug and say hello). No family gathering was complete without her noodles. She made extra to send home with the adult grandchildren, because she didn’t want them to waste away to nothing once they lived on their own. She was a loving sister who always found time for her siblings and their many outings. As the years passed and just four sisters remained, the “aunt mobile” would often pick the George women up and whisk them away to whatever adventure awaited. She was game for adventures of all sorts, and particularly enjoyed taking mystery tours with Melva Barga. She loved gardening and tending to her flowwhich always ers, adorned her home in North Star. Christmas was her favorite time of year. She filled her home with lights, trees, snowmen and numerous stockings that overflowed the mantle as her loving family grew. Christmases at Grandma’s are just one of the many cherished memories that we will miss but are so blessed to have had. We lost an amazing woman, and heaven gained a beautiful soul.

Group claims ad stole grandma’s image COLUMBUS (AP) — The increasingly bitter ballot fight over the possible repeal of Ohio’s new collective bargaining law had both sides sparring Tuesday over starring characters in each other’s television ads on the issue. The group that wants the law repealed says its opponents stole footage of a Cincinnati greatgrandmother from one of its ads without permission, while the group campaigning to keep it in place says a firefighter from their opponents’ first TV spot gave the media misleading information about his public health benefits. The law bans public worker strikes and limits the collective bar-

crossed the center line into the path of a westbound 2000 Ford F-250 driven by Jeffrey Puthoff, 41, of Fort Loramie. Fleckenstein’s vehicle rolled over one time and rested on its passenger side. Fleckenstein was pronounced dead at the scene by the Shelby County Coroner’s Office. Puthoff received minor injuries and was treated at the scene by Fort Loramie Rescue. Members of the Ohio State Highway Patrol and Fort Loramie Fire also assisted at the scene.
gaining abilities of more than 350,000 teachers, firefighters, police and other public employees around the state. An ad opposing the law by union-backed We Are Ohio features 78year-old Marlene Quinn thanking firefighters for saving her great-granddaughter Zoey from a fire. In the ad, Quinn asks voters to repeal the union law, which she said will lead to fewer firefighters. Republican- and business-backed Building a Better Ohio, which supports the new law, uses the same footage in its ad, but cuts out Quinn’s repeal call. “I think that it shows that they are willing play trick, to do anything to win this campaign, including taking a greatgrandmother’s words and twisting them,” said We Are Ohio spokeswoman Melissa Fazekas. In a statement, Quinn said: “I’ve lived a long time and seen a lot of things, but I’ve never seen a group of people sink so low. I think it’s dishonest and downright deceitful that they would use footage of me to try to play tricks and fool voters. We Are Ohio has sent a letter to TV stations
asking them to pull the Building a Better Ohio ad off the airwaves and is looking at its legal options. So far, eight stations have removed it. We are Ohio also has an online petition asking TV stations to take down the ad. Former Gov. Ted Strickland told The Associated Press in a telephone interview that the use of Quinn’s image in the Building a Better Ohio ad was “deceitful and dishonorable.” Strickland speculated that it could cause a backlash against the law’s supporters. “I think it could be the turning point in the campaign, quite frankly,” he said. “What they have done here, I think, demonstrates the level of deceitfulness that they will use in order to try to win. This is really as blatant as anything I’ve seen,” Strickland said. He said the supporters purposefully distorted the woman’s image and exploited her. “It will say something about the character of the governor and others, if they do not, in my judgment, step up and very publicly say that this is wrong and disassociate themselves from it.”

Governor signs death warrant TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — A man convicted of murdering an Ohio mother and her two daughters and tossing their bodies in Tampa Bay is scheduled to be the executed next month. Gov. Rick Scott signed the death warrant for Oba Chandler on Monday. A Department of Corrections spokeswoman said Chandler’s execution is scheduled for 4 p.m. Nov. 15. Chandler was convicted of murdering 36-year-old Joan Rodgers, her 14-yearold daughter Christe and 17-year-old daughter Michelle while they were returning to Willshire, Ohio, in 1989. He stripped them from the waist down, bound and gagged them and weighted their bodies before dumping them.

Senate kills jobs bill WASHINGTON (AP) — United against Barack Obama, Senate Republicans voted Tuesday night to kill the jobs package the president had spent weeks campaigning for across the country, a stinging loss at the hands of lawmakers opposed to stimulus-style spending and a tax increase on the very wealthy. Forty-six Republicans joined with two Democrats to filibuster the $447 billion plan. Fifty Democrats had voted for it, but the vote was not final. The roll call was kept open to allow Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, D-N.H. to vote. The likely 51-48 eventual tally would be far short of the 60 votes needed to keep the bill alive in the 100-member Senate.
The demise of Obama’s $447 billion jobs package was expected, despite his campaign-style efforts to swing the public behind it. The White House and leaders in Congress were already moving on to alternative ways to address the nation’s painful 9.1 percent unemployment, including breaking the legislation into smaller, more digestible pieces and approving long-stalled trade bills. The White House appears most confident that it will be able to continue a 2-percentage-point Social Security payroll tax cut through 2012 and to extend emergency unemployment benefits to millions of people — if only because, in the White House view, Republicans won’t want to accept the political harm of letting
those provisions expire. White House officials are also hopeful of ultimately garnering votes for the approval of infrastructure spending and tax credits for businesses that hire unemployed veterans. Democrats Ben Nelson of Nebraska and Jon Tester of Montana — both up for reelection next year in states where Obama figures to lose — broke with their party on Tuesday night’s vote. Every Republican present opposed the plan. Earlier in the day, Obama capped his weekslong campaign for the measure in an appearance typical of the effort — a tough-talking speech in a swing state crucial to his re-election. In fact, it seemed aimed more at rallying his
Family haunted MILWAUKEE (AP) — A Milwaukee family says they can’t understand why their pregnant relative got into a vehicle with a woman who’s accused of killing her and cutting her fetus from her womb. The family of 23-yearold Maritza Ramirez-Cruz told The Associated Press on Tuesday they didn’t understand why she got in the suspect’s car. Her brother-in-law, Josue Garcia, says she’d never accept a ride from a stranger. Her husband, Christian Mercado, says his wife was a good mother and a kind person. He says the two planned to grow old together, but now he’ll raise three young children alone.
OUT OF THE BLUE Pot brownies served at funeral HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif. (AP) — Potlaced brownies served at a Southern California funeral sent three people to the emergency room over the weekend, Huntington Beach police said. Two 71-year-old women and an 82-year-old man were taken to a hospital emergency room Saturday following a friend’s memorial service, where a tray of pot brownies was offered. They complained of nausea, dizziness and an inability to stand without assistance. The three, residents of Huntington Beach and Newport Beach, didn’t know the marijuana-laced sweets were being offered in memory of their friend, who ate marijuana brownies. Police say the baked goods were put out without any announcement about what was in them.
core political supporters heading into the election than changing minds on Capitol Hill. “Any senator who votes no should have to look you in the eye and tell you what exactly they’re opposed to,” Obama said to a union audience in Pittsburgh. “I think they’ll have a hard time explaining why they voted no on this bill — other than the fact that I proposed it.” Democrats were not wholly united behind the measure. In addition to Nelson and Tester, Sens. Jim Webb, D-Va., Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., and Joe Lieberman, a Connecticut independent who aligns with Democrats, said they oppose the underlying measure despite voting to choke off the filibuster.

Income, revenue rise DALLAS (AP) — Alcoa got the earnings season off to a disappointing start. The aluminum producer on Tuesday reported third-quarter net income that fell far short of expectations, as concern about the global economy pushed down prices for the metal by 12 percent in the period from July through September. Alcoa Inc.’s net income totaled $172 million, or 15 cents a share, for the quarter. That was better than year-earlier net income of $61 million, or 6 cents per share, but weaker than both the second-quarter numbers and analysts’ forecasts. .

A YOUNG woman holds up a sign as passersby take in the scene at the Occupy Wall Street headquarters at Zuccotti Park in New York. The protest is entering it's fourth week this week.
Protesters march past millionaires’ NYC homes NEW YORK (AP) — Now it’s personal: Hundreds of antiWall Street protesters held a “Millionaires March” on Tuesday past the homes of some of the wealthiest executives in America, stopping to jeer “Tax the rich!” and “Where’s my bailout?” Walking two-by-two on the sidewalk because they had no march permit and didn’t want to be charged with blocking traffic, members of the Occupy Wall Street movement and other groups made their way up Manhattan’s East Side, along streets like Fifth Avenue and Park Avenue where some of the richest 1 percent of the population live in townhouses and luxury apartments. They paused outside buildings where media mogul Rupert Murdoch, banker Jamie Dimon and oil tycoon David Koch have homes, and decried the impending expiration of New York’s 2 percent “million-
aires’ tax” in December. “I have nothing against these people personally. I just think they should pay their fair share of taxes,” said Michael Pollack, an office worker in a law firm. He held up a sign with a saying attributed to department store founder Edward Filene, “Why shouldn’t the American people take half my money from me? I took all of it from them.” Pollack said: “It’s time for a new New Deal.” For the past 3 weeks, protesters have besieged a park in lower Manhattan near Wall Street, denouncing corporate greed and the gap between rich and poor. The uptown march marked the first time the Occupy Wall Street movement has identified specific people as being part of the 1 percent the demonstrators say are getting rich at the expense of the rest of America. When the march reached
Park Avenue and East 93rd Street, protesters stopped in front of a building where they said Dimon, JPMorgan Chase’s chairman and CEO, has an Marchers apartment. screamed, “Where’s our bailout?” and “How do we end this deficit? End the war, tax the rich!” JPMorgan was among the banks that received a federal bailout, money it has since repaid. Dimon got supportive words Monday from Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who is himself a billionaire executive but whose East Side townhouse was not on the protesters’ list of targets. Dimon has “brought more business to this city than maybe any other banker in (the) modern day,” the mayor said. “To go and picket him, I don’t know what that achieves. Jamie Dimon’s an honorable person working very hard. He pays his taxes.”
Israel, Hamas announce swap for captured soldier JERUSALEM (AP) — In a much-anticipated prisoner exchange that could have broad implications, Israel and Hamas on Tuesday announced that an Israeli soldier abducted to Gaza five years ago would be swapped for about 1,000 Palestinians held by Israel and accused of militant activity. Israel’s government approved the deal early Wednesday following a three-hour debate after both Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Hamas leader Khaled Mashaal announced the agreement in televised comments. Netanyahu said the captured soldier, Sgt. Gilad Schalit, would return home within days. Mashaal, portraying the agreement as a victory, said the Palestinian prisoners would be freed in two stages
over two months. Hamas and Israel are bitter enemies. Hamas has sent dozens of suicide bombers into Israel, killing hundreds, and Israel blockaded Gaza after Hamas seized power there in 2007, carrying out a largescale invasion in 2009 to try to stop daily rocket attacks on Israel. More than 1,500 Gaza Palestinians have been killed in Israeli raids and airstrikes since the soldier was captured. In the northern Gaza town of Jebaliya, thousands of Hamas supporters flocked the streets, led by masked militants. Cars with loudspeakers played praise for Hamas. Thousands of other Gazans rushed to their border with Egypt, clutching Palestinian and Egyptian flags, tossing flowers and cheering. Gaza’s Hamas prime minis-
ter, Ismail Haniyeh, smiled as he threw candy to celebrating backers. The deal maintains a decades-long tradition of lopsided exchanges that have come under increasing criticism in Israel — and ends a period of tortured indecision by Israeli governments torn between securing the release of a single soldier and the risk that freed militants might return to violence that could cost many more lives. “There is built-in tension between the desire to return a kidnapped soldier … and the need to preserve the security of the citizens of Israel,” Netanyahu said, in comments at opening the Cabinet meeting. “I believe we reached the best deal that we can reach at this time, a stormy time in the Middle East.”
She’s a 40-year-old mother of eight, with a ninth child due soon. The family homestead in a Burundi village is too small to provide enough food, and three of the children have quit school for lack of money to pay required fees. “I regret to have made all those children,” says Godelive Ndageramiwe. “If I were to start over, I would only make two or three.” At Ahmed Kasadha’s prosperous farm in eastern Uganda, it’s a different story. “My father had 25 children — I have only 14 so far, and expect to produce more in the future,” says Kasadha, who has two wives. He considers a large family a sign of success and a guarantee of support in his old age. By the time Ndageramiwe’s ninth child arrives, and any further members of the Kasadha clan, the world’s population will have passed a momentous milestone. As of Oct. 31, according to the U.N. Population Fund, there will be 7 billion people sharing Earth’s land and resources. In Western Europe, Japan and Russia, it will be an ironic milestone amid worries about low birthrates and aging populations. In China and India, the two most populous nations, it’s an occasion to reassess policies that have already slowed once-rapid growth. But in Burundi, Uganda and the rest of sub-Saharan Africa, the demographic news is mostly sobering as the region staggers under the double burden of the world’s highest birthrates and deepest poverty. The regional population of nearly 900 million could reach 2 billion in 40 years at current rates, accounting for about half of the projected global population growth over that span. “Most of that growth will be in Africa’s cities, and in those cities it will almost all be in slums where living conditions are horrible,” said John Bongaarts of the Population Council, a New York-based research organization. Is catastrophe inevitable? Not necessarily. But experts say most of Africa — and other high-growth developing nations such as Afghanistan and Pakistan — will be hardpressed to furnish enough food, water and jobs for their people, especially without major new family-planning initiatives. “Extreme poverty and large families tend to reinforce each other,” says Lester Brown, the environmental analyst who heads the Earth Policy Institute in Washington. “The challenge is to intervene in that cycle and accelerate the shift to smaller families.”

The Shelby County United Way and the Senior Center of SidneyShelby County held a luncheon event recently for the United Way’s Cornerstone Society members. The Cornerstone Society is a leadership giving program which recognizes philanthropic leaders in Shelby County who contribute $500 or more to the United Way’s annual campaign. Tours were given to Society Cornerstone members by volunteers from the Senior Center. Highlights of the tour included the computer and reading area, walking track, quilting room, as well as the exercise room, which offers modern exercise equipment. Bob Parker, Shelby County United Way’s executive director, said, “Each year our leadership givers make a special commitment to improve the lives of those in our community and we want to offer them the opportunity to see how their gifts are making a positive difference at the agencies, and through the programs we support.” Opened in September 1997, the Senior Center of Sidney-Shelby County provides programs and services for anyone 50 years and older. The Senior Center offers a variety of activities to promote a healthy and active lifestyle. Dave

McKay, executive director of the Senior Center, said, “It has been a true honor to host the Cornerstone Society’s annual tour of a Shelby County United Way agency. It gives us the opportunity to demonstrate how their generous gifts are being used to enhance the lives of so many people in our community, as well as giving us the opportunity to say a heartfelt thank you for their continued support.” The Senior Center and United Way Board of Trustee members also offered those in attendance an exhibition game of chair volleyball. Dave DeVelvis, former United Way campaign chairman and board member, served as the official referee of the match, which was won by Team United Way.
“But in our way of thinking, everyone won,” said Jana Potts, enhanced giving coordinator for the United Way. Gifts by Cornerstone Society members represented close to 30 percent of the 2010 United Way campaign. The Cornerstone Society leadership giving program offers four different levels of giving ranging from $500 to more than $5,000. Currently, there are 500 Cornerstone Society members and United Way campaign volunteers and staff have set a goal to increase membership by 10 percent during the 2011 campaign.

I had used the from condensed milk Heloise in another recipe weeks Heloise Cruse earlier. Is it possible to make sweetened condensed milk? — Judy Steward in Omaha, Neb. Yes, Judy, it is possible, and it’s pretty easy to make sweetened condensed milk. You will need: 1 cup powdered milk 1/3 cup boiling water
2/3 cup granulated sugar 3 tablespoons butter Mix all the ingredients in a blender. Start mixing on LOW speed for a minute or two. Increase the speed and continue to blend until smooth, with no obvious
sugar granules. You can take a drop or two and rub it between your fingers to feel if there are sugar granules. This will make enough milk to equal a can, but the consistency will not be what you are used to with the store-bought version. No bacon on hand? Here’s a substitution you can use in a pinch: imitation bacon bits. — Heloise

FORT LORAMIE — Amanda Siwek, a freshman at Ohio University in Athens, is a member of the Marching 110. Following her auditions for both music and marching skills, Siwek was accepted into the marching band. She was selected to perform in both the pregame and halftime blocks. Siwek is one of 44 trumpet players in the 110. “I live for game day performances”, she says. “Nothing in the world can compete with the feeling you get when you drive onto the field during pregame and especially, halftime. All of your hard work finally comes together and you leave everything you have on the field.” The Ohio University Marching 110, self-proclaimed as “The Most Exciting Band in the Land,” is noted throughout the nation for its high-energy performances. Recently, a video featuring the Marching 110’s Oct. 1 halftime performance of dance group LMFAO’s hit song “Party Rock Anthem” was posted on YouTube. Only four days after it was uploaded, the video had hit more than 1.4 million views on YouTube and has been shown on CNN, MSN, Fox News and ESPN. The name “Marching 110” originally referred to the number of members in the band, but now refers to the amount of effort required of each band member — 110 percent. Siwek is a music education major under trumpet and piano at Ohio University. She is the daughter of Ray and Vicki Siwek of Fort Loramie.

FORT LORAMIE — During its September meeting, village council awarded the 2011 street project contract to Barrett Paving Materials on its base bid of $141,830.40 and alternate bid of $73,121.60. Wagner Paving Inc., the only other bidder, bid $148,916.10 and $78,994.45 for the contract. Bids for an Industrial Drive expansion were also reviewed. The street committee recommended the village rebid the project, and council voted to reject all Industrial Drive Expansion bids. Street projects for the year will be partially paid from the street, state highway and general fund surcharge. The finance committee recommended not using OWDA funds for the water treatment plant payment, transferring $20,000 for office renovations, income tax software, training and salary and $5,000 for rental of a Bobcat. The committee also suggested increasing the out-of-corporation surcharge for village services.

Sidney Daily News,Wednesday, October 12, 2011
COUNCIL from Flanagan Field and the city’s east corporate limits to the village of Port Jefferson’s west corporation limits. Its approval was required for ODOT to proceed with the project in 2012. The resolution requires the city’s consent only with no financial obligation from the city for the road work. Council also adopted a resolution authorizing an income tax sharing agreement with Sidney City Schools related to the recent Enterprise Zone tax abatement for Reliable Castings Corp. The agreement authorizes compensation to the school district for the lesser of property taxes foregone by the school or 75 percent of the income tax received by the city on the new jobs being created by Reliable Castings. The Sidney Board of Education is scheduled to adopt the tax sharing resolution at its Oct. 17 meeting. Council also introduced ordinances amending sections of the city’s codified ordinances regarding pretreatment of industrial waste and amending the zoning code to permit musical instruments as a permitted use in the Community Business district. Both ordinances are scheduled for second readings and action at council’s Oct. 24 meeting. Brian Schultz, wastewater plant superintendent, outlined proposed Sanitary Sewer Chapter amendments, explaining the changes are necessary to comply with Ohio Environmental Protection Agency requirements for renewal of the treatment plant’s National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit. Most of the proposed changes add Ohio EPA required language to existing sections of the city’s industrial pretreatment
From Page 1 code. “Most simply clarify existing regulations,” Schultz told council. The zoning code amendment ordinance recognizes musical instruments, accessories and music lessons as permitted uses in the B-2 Business district. (Such sales have been a principally permitted use in the B-5 district). The amendment is being requested on behalf of Gene Asworth, operator of a tattoo business in the Vandemark Shopping Center. Reviewing a beer and wine liquor license transfer request from La Soledad LLC, doing business as Dona Cata Mexican restaurant, 1306 Wapakoneta Ave., council took no action to oppose the request. The license was formerly owned by the former Broad Street Grille. Ginger Gehret, GIS technician, provided a progress report on the city’s Geographic Information System currently being used to capture data for all municipal functions. Using the council chambers computer, Gehret demonstrated on the power point screen the system’s capture of subdivision easement, traffic count and flow, pavement ratings and traffic crash information. “The system benefits both the public and city staff,” Gehret said, answering a question posed by Mayor Mike Barhorst. And Fire Chief Brad Jones told council he had used the system, via a fire vehicle’s mobile data terminal, to plan the department’s attack on the recent Fair Road apartment building fire. Prior to Monday night’s legislative session, Mayor Michael Barhorst read and presented Jones a proclamation designating Oct. 9-15 Fire Prevention Week in Sidney.

These issues are being addressed and should be resolved soon. In the meantime, customers are urged to remember that delivery persons and single copy outlets are not responsible for the delays. “We know it’s very frustrating when the paper is late,” said Publisher Jeff Billiel, “but please don’t take it out on the carriers and drivers. We expect the problems to be resolved soon, at which time delivery will again be on schedule.” He advised that anyone with delivery questions or issues should call (937) 498-5939. During periods of heavy calling, especially Saturday mornings, the Customer Service Department may not be able to answer all calls immediately. However, if customers leave a message the call will be returned. Customer service hours are 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday and 6 a.m. to noon on Saturday.

SHERIFF
SCHUTTE imposition and illegal use of a minor in a nudity-oriented material or performance in unrelated cases, will spend the next five years in prison. He also will spend another 25 years registering as a tier II sex offender following his release from prison in the county where he resides, works or receives an education. Schutte pleaded no contest and was found guilty of his charges Aug. 22 at a change of plea hearing. Authorities say Schutte took photographs of a 7-year-old girl he once lived near in Piqua last May with a cell phone and later sent the photographs to his personal email address. The other felony sex charge stems from Schutte touching a 4year-old girl at a Piqua residence in April. Police began investigating the allegation after the victim told her mother about Schutte touching her in her groin area. Schutte faced the maximum sentence of up to 13 years in prison. Meanwhile, a Troy sex offender originally charged with two counts of rape, but was later convicted on the amended charges of attempted rape received a severe penalty of 12 years in prison in a case that involved an 8-year-old girl. Ernest A. Crabtree, 48, who pleaded guilty Aug. 23 to the crime, also was labeled a tier III sex offender, which requires
Humvee vehicles which Kimpel acquired. “I don’t know what I’m going to do with those.” The office has a $4,286 unpaid bill for work on the vehicles. “I think you can see we’re really trying to cut back,” Lenhart said. “I challenged all our personnel to find ways to cut” spending. “I don’t want to put more problems on this county,” Lenhart said, but asked to borrow $100,000 to deal with the deficit. He said he will pay it back in 2012. Lenhart said laying off employees is a “last resort” to deal with the budget crunch. Toomey commended Lenhart for “putting all this together in the short time you’ve had.” “I want to get our arms around this,” Lenhart said. “They (employees) haven’t had raises for two or three years.” The contract is up next year. “I really think we’ll have some better days
ahead,” Lenhart said. York cautioned that 2012 “will be the toughest” year facing the county. “We’re going to come out of this strong, we’re going to get out of this lean, but everything’s on the table,” Lenhart said. Following the meeting, York said the loan to Lenhart’s office would have to be advanced from another fund. If the money is taken from the permanent improvement fund, Judge James Stevenson would have to approve it. York said those in the sheriff’s office were “fearful” to speak out about the financial problems. He said Lenhart “obviously is focusing on the things he needs to be focusing on. I’m impressed.” A lack of revenue promised by Kimpel is expected to cost the county $400,000, York said. “That’s about 4 percent of the general fund budget.”
him to routinely and annually register as a sex offender for the rest of his life. Police records show that Crabtree committed the offenses between March 1 and April 6. The victim in the case, along with her mother and father, spoke out at the hearing. “You made me feel dirty,” the victim said. “You should go where all of the bad guys go and never get let out.” He faced the maximum penalty of 16 years in prison, but his sentence was jointly recommended by the prosecution and his defense counsel. Lastly, there was a female sex offender who authorities said had inappropriate contact with a 14-year-old victim in January. Courtney L. Sanders, 19, of Troy, was sentenced to five years of probation for her Aug. 16 conviction of unlawful sexual conduct with a minor. “I know I messed up,” Sanders said in court. “I want to say I am sorry. I learned my lesson.” She faced up to 18 months in prison for the conviction. Sanders also was labeled a tier II sex offender, which requires her to register as such on an annual basis for the next 25 years. In all three cases, each felon was told they are to have no contact with the victims in each of their cases or their families.

From Page 1 there is $17,515, and an inmate trust fund, in which there is $18,960. Lenhart said Kimpel did not comply with a request from commissioners to pay off a $9,940 legal bill from Attorney Pete Nevada for services involving a legal case between the sheriff and former Deputy Jodi Van Fossen. Instead, he paid $1,000 out of the Furtherance of Justice fund and left $8,940 unpaid. Lenhart said he told deputies to “get a plan” to reduce gasoline costs. “I don’t want them to go to Russia and then drive back to McDonald’s (in Sidney) and have lunch.” Francis said there is $40 left in the vehicle repairs and other fund, which includes gasoline. She noted fuel costs average $7,300 to $8,300 per month. “We have numerous cars that need brakes,” Lenhart said. He noted he cannot have deputies driving unsafe vehicles. Lenhart talked about

Also present at the meeting were Shelby County Auditor Dennis York, Chief Deputy Auditor Deb Francis, Commissioners Julie Ehemann, Larry Kleinhans and Jack Toomey and Clerk Pam Steinke. Lenhart reported budget deficits as follows: jail supplies and meals, $15,814; contracts and repairs, $7,151; utilities, $44,339, and vehicle repairs and others, $39,858. He said that after taking office he immediately found some money he could cut. “We had some mandatory overtime and I shut that down. It saves about $25,000 a year.” He noted staff were coming in 15 minutes early to begin their days and it was all on an overtime basis. More than $70,000 has been spent on overtime so far this year. Lenhart also found money Kimpel had not used that may help the cash-strapped office. One is a DUI code, in which

Teen girls Three to be smoke more inducted into YMCA Triangle than teen boys of Honor Mary Jannides, Irene Jarfas and Dennis Ruble will be inducted into the Triangle of Honor at the Y’s annual Heritage Club Dinner Thursday, according to YMCA Executive Director Ed Thomas. “We are very excited to recognize these individuals who have given so much of their time, talent, and treasure to this organization with our most prestigious award,” Thomas said. “This year will be even more special as we celebrate the 25th year anniversary of our YMCA Heritage Club.” The Triangle of Honor award was established in 2008 on the occasion of the 40th anniversary of the YMCA in Sidney-Shelby County. Past recipients include: • Class of 2008 — Frank Gleason Jr., Richard Henke , and Bill and Betty Ross. • Class of 2009 — Chuck Manchester, Virginia Matz and Tom Watkins. • Class of 2010 — Bruce Boyd , John Amos and Ralph Keister. “This award is a wonderful way to highlight the significant individuals who have had such a dramatic impact on this YMCA,” Thomas noted. “The volunteer, leadership and philanthropical gifts that the 2011 nominees have contributed to our organization over the years is truly remarkable.” Among her many contributions to the YMCA, Jannides has served for
37 years as a volunteer member of the coaching staff for the YMCA swim team. In addition, she coached the Sidney High School swim team for many years and served as a member of the YMCA Board of Trustees for two fouryear terms. Jarfas is a YMCA Heritage Club charter member who not only supported the YMCA for many years during her lifetime with leadership gifts to a variety of appeals, but she is also responsible for making the single largest gift ever to the YMCA Endowment Fund. Ruble, who is a Heritage Club charter member along with his wife, Donnajean, was the executive director of the Sidney-Shelby County YMCA for 25 years before retiring in 2004. Since his retirement, he has rejoined the Y staff in a part-time capacity to continue his work as the financial development director. The Triangle of Honor represents the most prestigious award the YMCA can present to any individual. The inductees are nominated by a selection committee. This year’s includes committee John Amos, Bob Eck, Phil Gilardi, Frank Gleason, Virginia Matz and Ed Thomas. For more information about the Triangle of Honor and the nominating process, individuals are encouraged to contact Thomas at the YMCA at 492-9134.

Golf outing Two long lines of golf carts wait to take off at the start of a Chamber Golf Outing held in September at Shelby Oaks Golf Course.
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — Supercenter chain Meijer is preparing to hire hundreds of new employees for its stores as it prepares for this year’s holiday season, announced Janet Emerson, executive vice president of operations for the Grand Rapids, Mich.-based retailer. “Meijer is known for friendly customer service,” said Emerson. “In order to provide the service our customers expect during the busiest time of the year, we need to be sure we are staffed properly. We are looking forward to welcoming new team members into the Meijer
Poeppelman retires after 31 years After more than 31 years working at the Playtex plant, Bernie Poeppelman retired recently. Poeppelman’s last day at the plant was Sept. 30, and his colleagues said they looked up to him as a father figure. “Bernie is the patriarch of our facility,” said Les McFarland, plant manager. Poeppelman started at the plant in Jan. 1980, not long after Sterling Drug opened it to produce non-woven materials that went into pre-moistened towelettes, the precursor to Playtex’s Wet Ones. He started as an hourly worker. Over the years he was given more and more responsibility

Poeppelman is the spirit of his colleagues. “People here are empowered to make critical changes,” Poeppelman said. “We have continu-
ous improvement teams and we ask them, what’s kicking your butt everyday and then we fix those problems. From day one we have had that kind of can-do attitude here.” Poeppelman got the most satisfaction from his job by watching as colleagues have stepped up to deal with all the changes at the plant over the years, including the introduction of advanced equipment, the packaging of products and the recent plant consolidation. At age 58, Poeppelman and his wife, Judy, will spend time with their four children and 10 grandchildren. He plans to fish, play golf and look for future opportunities.

Strange they are not willing to hook up to the utilities from Spruce, East Walnut or East Lynn streets.

For brighter tomorrow To the editor: When you walk into the Botkins Local School District building, you might be surprised to learn that our building is in need of major repairs and renovations. There have been maintenance problems not only due to the age of the building but problems that relate to the building being built at different times. We have been given the best offer in the entire state of Ohio this year. OSFC will provide us with 75 percent of the total cost of a new building. If we don’t take advantage of this incredible offer, we will spend more money to renovate the current building and we will still have an inefficient, confined school with higher maintenance costs and we will be responsible for the entire cost of necessary renovations. Our electrical system still operates off of the original two electrical panels and is single-phase electric. A three-phase electrical system will operate more efficiently and would be more economical. The hot water system is inadequate to heat our water efficiently, and the majority of the piping must be replaced. We currently have leaks throughout the building and due to the double-layer roof, it is difficult to determine the cause of the leaks. We need to replace the roof. We will need to install a sprinkler system, and we will have to remove all existing ceilings. The windows need to be replaced throughout the building due to the fact that the wood inside the aluminum clad has rotted away. The present heating system is very inefficient. One boiler (1984) will burn only fuel oil and at the current cost of $3 per gallon. (We burn 20,000-25,000 gallons per year). Our 1998 boiler is the older natural gas burner style, which is less efficient. Our current heating system requires us to draw 10 percent outside air all of the time the heater is on. When the thermostat says the room is up to temperature, the fans keep running and 10 percent outside air keeps blowing into the rooms. A new heating system will use a CO2 sensor that will eliminate the problem. Turning down this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity will cost us the deal of a lifetime. We will have to pay 100 percent of the cost of the needed repairs and we will still have an aging, inefficient building with no possibility to grow. So we urge you to support the Botkins Local School levy for a brighter tomorrow and a stronger future. Dave and Connie Mielke 103 E. State St. Botkins Larry and Lois Dietz 115 N. Mill St. Botkins
Help save a life To the editor: As you may be aware, I have just completed chemotherapy for non-Hodgkins lymphoma. I am thrilled to report that my most recent PET scan shows no cancer visible to the eye! Simply stated, my cancer is in remission! Praise God! Through the years, Homer and I have been involved with the local blood drive in various ways including donating blood. I had no idea that one summer my life would be saved by 10 donors who decided to take the time to donate their blood so that I could later receive it to restore my blood supply from the ravages of chemotherapy. I know that I would not be alive today if it were not for the gracious and generous action of so many blood donors. A community blood drive is scheduled at St. Michael’s Hall in Fort Loramie on Tuesday from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Appointments can be made at https://www.donortime.com or by calling Kathy Pleiman at 295-3100. Please help me to give back so another person’s loved one can get the blood they need during treatment. Please donate blood on Tuesday! I hope you will consider encouraging other friends or family members to donate, particularly if you are unable to participate. The website noted above also has a “Find A Drive” link if another day or location would be more convenient. Blood is life-saving and life-sustaining. It saved mine.

SIDNEY’S BRADY Gaylor (left) battles with a Troy player for a loose ball during high school boys soccer action at Sidney
High School Tuesday night. Sidney lost to the Trojans on a late goal, 1-0.
Late goal gives Troy 1-0 win There is a consolation prize awaiting the Sidney Yellow Jackets Thursday, and it’s a good one. The Jacket boys soccer team took on Troy in a key Greater Western Ohio Conference North Division matchup Tuesday at the high school. A win would have all but clinched an outright championship for Sidney. But Troy scored with just 3:10 left in the game to pull out a 1-0 victory. The division will likely end
in a three-way tie for first place, with Sidney, Troy and Vandalia all expected to finish 4-1. Sidney plays Trotwood Thursday, and a win gives the Jackets a share of the title. It will mark the fifth straight year Sidney has either won or shared the North Division crown. The Jackets are now 5-8-2 overall. “It was a hard, physical battle,” said Sidney head coach Eric Harlamert. “Troy
was a little physical, and we knew they would be. Our guys played hard and I thought we were going to be able to do it. It’s a tough loss, a crushing loss. But there’s a chance we could have them in the tournament and get another crack at them. They’re good, and came in ranked a little ahead of us.” The game was scoreless right to the end and it appeared it would end that way. But Troy had an attack and after batting the ball around,
the Trojans were able to cross it into the box, from where the shot was successful. “I gotta give my guys credit,” said Harlamert. “Everybody really battled hard, and there was incredible intensity all the way through the game. It’s a tough loss to take, but we have to get ready and win over Trotwood.” Troy goes to 7-7-1 with the win and can gain a share of the title with a win over Piqua Thursday. Troy won the JV game 8-1.
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — What's brewing with the 2011 Ohio State Buckeyes ... BUCKEYES BUZZ: In his nine years as Ohio State's head coach (1979-87), Earle Bruce proved to be a solid winner. In his many years since on WTVN-AM in Columbus, he’s proven to be a straight-talker who still loves his Buckeyes. Here are some out-takes of his conversation with Sports Director Matt McCoy on Monday: • On backup QB Joe Bauserman: “I haven’t seen him throw many completions. He only throws the deep ball. Aren't there short, safe passes he can throw?” • On the Buckeyes’ emphasis on a passing-intensive attack when Bauserman is in the game: “I’ve seen him throw more balls out of bounds than to his teammates yet they throw constantly with him. Run the ball!” • On starting QB Braxton Miller's ankle sprain: “The toughest position to defend is quarterback. Once the run/pass option was out, defense was easy for (Nebraska).” • On WR DeVier Posey’s additional five-game suspension for accepting too much money from a booster at a summer job: “I always said you can probably stand a hurricane but you can’t stand an NCAA investigation.” • On the severity of Posey's penalty: “Ten games? ... Teach him a lesson but don’t destroy him. They’re destroying him!” STATUS REPORT: Ohio State spokesman Jerry Emig said Miller, who didn't play after spraining his ankle in the third quarter of Saturday's 34-27 loss in Lincoln, Neb., will play against No. 15 Illinois this weekend. “Well, he’s No. 1 on our depth chart,” Emig said. One other interesting change on the two-deep that came out late on Monday afternoon: Marcus Hall was moved back behind Jack Mewhort on the offensive line.

Hillis doubting future with Browns
Sargeant, Larger end duals 15-0 Lehman lost to Miami Valley School in girls tennis action on Monday, 41, but its talented first doubles team completed a perfect regular Sargeant season. The lone win for the Lady Cavs came from the unb e a t e n first doubles team of Kandis Sargeant Larger and Nicole Larger by a 6-2, 6-1 score. Sargeant and Larger finished the regular season with a dual match record of 15-0, and their overall record now is 230 heading into district competition this week. Meghan Bennett lost to Rheanna Morehart 61, 6-0 at first singles, Julia Harrelson lost 6-0, 6-0 at second singles and MacKenzie Brown lost 6-1, 6-2 at third singles. The second doubles team of Kerrie Josefovsky and Victoria King lost 6-3, 6-1.
Trojans win finale 9-0 BOTKINS — The Botkins Trojans finished off the regular season with an impressive 11-22 record after beating County rival Fairawn 90 in high school boys soccer action Tuesday. The Trojans were led again by Ethan Zimpfer, who had three more goals. Taylor VanGundy added two goals and Austin McGowan, Eric Egbert, Trevor Barhorst and Aaron Schipper added one goal each. Dakota Butcher had three assists and Logan Russell two, and keeper Evan Dietz had three saves.
NK wins 1-0 New Knoxville recorded a 1-0 victory over Cory-Rawson in boys soccer action Tuesday. The lone goal of the game was scored by Andrew Mackie at the 3:30 mark of the first half. New Knoxville, which is now 6-9 on the year, had 10 shots on goal to just five for Cory-Rawson.
Peyton Hillis then I guess anything is possible, which means your career’s not here,” he said. “So, yeah, that definitely worries me.” The Browns returned from their bye week with the Hillis matter remaining a hot topic. Following the team’s first practice since last Wednesday,
Hillis stood in the middle of Cleveland’s locker room with his arms folded across his chest for more than 10 minutes answering questions about his contract. Hillis could have ended the controversy. Instead, it lingers. Last week, agent Kennard McGuire told The Associated Press that he cautioned his client not to play against the Dolphins for fear Hillis had been weakened by the illness and could have jeopardized his career by playing and getting hurt. Hillis said he considered McGuire’s guidance before deciding it was best to sit out. “It was his recommendation, but it was ultimately my choice in the end,” Hillis said. “We both knew how sick I was and how bad it could be for the team and for myself if I had tried to
play, so it wasn’t just my agent’s decision. It was mine also and he was just looking out for me.” Hillis said without McGuire’s counsel he might have tried to play. “I am stubborn and I am hardheaded,” he said. “By the way I was feeling, I just needed somebody else’s opinion.” Hillis’ absence from the Browns’ win over the Dolphins was followed by an ESPN report, citing unidentified sources, that some unnamed players in Cleveland’s locker room felt his contract situation may have been a factor in him skipping the game. Hillis said he was not disturbed by the report and that he and McGuire decided to keep the story fresh in the media because he wants to remain a Brown. McGuire also told the AP that Hillis has been
affected by the ongoing contract talks and feels “underappreciated” in Cleveland. downplayed Hillis being distracted by his uncertain future in Cleveland, but acknowledged he wishes his contract situation could be resolved. “You feel unappreciated because you want to get something done and nothing has gotten done at this point,” said Hillis, who rushed for nearly 1,200 yards and 11 touchdowns last season. “You don’t know the ultimate feelings in the end of what’s going on up top (in the front office). You take it with a grain of salt and you keep moving on.” Hillis insists the talks aren’t putting any extra pressure on him to perform. “I wouldn’t say weighing on me. I’d rather say
just being patient,” he said. “I’ve got to be patient and ultimately the decision’s not up to me. You’ve got to go out there and play your best. It’s about what you do on the football field.” Part of Hillis’ frustration stems from the Browns taking care of other players. The team has signed several of its young “core” to extensions, and to this point, Hillis isn’t one of them. In the past two months, Pro Bowl oftackle Joe fensive Thomas, tight end Evan Moore, defensive tackle Ahtyba Rubin and linebacker Chris Gocong have received new deals. Team president Mike Holmgren recently said the Browns were “trying like crazy” to sign Hillis, a comment that may have led to unrealistic expectations around the talks.

Ten minutes later, Elizabeth Edwards scored off an assist from Katie Catanzarite to make it 2-0, which is how it stood at the half. In the second half, neither team scored until Lehman got a goal with just one minute remaining. Taylor Lachey scored off an assist from Emily Bensman. Goalie Grace Frantz had five saves, and the Lady Cavs outshot Bellefontaine 41-9. “Carly Harrod and Katie Catanzarite really played well in the mid-

Sidney falls 4-2 Sidney lost to the team it will play in the tournament opener, Fairmont, in soccer action Monday. Both Sidney goals came from Monique Hanayik, one on a penalty kick and the other off an assist by Morgan Knasel. “We never led in the game,” said Sidney coach Stacey Goffena. “We gave up an easy goal just 30 seconds into the second half and gave up a
penalty kick. Our defenders could not match their speed.” Sidney has a key game tonight at Troy for the GWOC North title, then plays Fairmont again Monday at home in the first round of the Division I sectional tournament.

BEREA, Ohio (AP) — Peyton Hillis wanted to retire with the Browns. Now, he’s wondering and worrying if he has a future in Cleveland beyond the next 12 games. Hillis, whose stalled negotiations with the team on a contract extension have spawned weeks of analysis, conjecture and rumor, said Monday he has no regrets about sitting out the Sept. 25 game against Miami with strep throat, a decision ‚Äî reached with the advice of his agent ‚Äî that fueled reports he missed the game to protest not getting a new deal. Hillis is in the final year of his rookie deal and will make a base salary of $600,000 this season. As for next season, he beginning to doubt he’ll be around. “Whenever something’s not set in stone,

Anna creeping up in rankings BY KEN BARHORST AND DAVE ROSS Don’t look now, but the Anna Rockets are steadily creeping up in the Region 20 computer rankings for Division V. The Rockets are 11th this week (see Scoreboard), one spot behind the Versailles Tigers. What that means is that next week’s game at Versailles is shaping up to be huge. Of course, both teams have to take care of business this week. Anna should have no problem winning two of its last three, with St. Henry this week and Parkway to end the season. Versailles, though, has a key game Friday night at 5-2 Minster. Win or lose, it will still be a big game in week nine against the Rockets. Both Versailles and Anna have winning records, but they find themselves scratching and clawing for a playoff berth because none of the wins by either team have come over teams with winning records. Fort Loramie remains on top of Region 20 of DVI, but the Redskins will probably have trouble
staying there because their next two games are against Troy Christian and Dayton Jefferson, who are a combined 1-13. Lehman, meanwhile, dropped to 15th in Region 24, but there are a lot of points still out there for the Cavaliers, with the three remaining teams having 13 wins among them.
Milton and Bellefontaine. Only three of Tipp City’s opponents are DII. West Milton is D-IV and the rest D-III. But give Tipp credit — it’s giving its athletes a chance to be successful. Other schools could learn from that. Anyway, if there was a tournament for all nonplayoff D-II schools, Piqua might be the favorite.
Looking up
2012 schedules
The Piqua Indians, who host Sidney Friday night, are looking up from 17th spot in the Region 8, D-II rankings with a 3-4 mark and will probably fail to make it to postseason again. Three of their four losses were by a total of 13 points, including by just three to unbeaten Trotwood. Up in the fourth spot in the same region is Tipp City. With all due respect to Tipp’s 7-0 record, would the Red Devils beat Piqua? While the Indians are playing teams like Lima Senior, Fairfield, Trotwood, Lebanon, Fairmont, Vandalia and Troy, Tipp City is playing Indian Lake, Graham, Ben Logan, Stebbins, West
Sidney will resume play with both West Carrollton and Greenville beginning next season and both should afford an opportunity for at least a competitive game in weeks three and ten respectively. They will replace Fairborn and Lebanon. Greenville’s return means that the “Little Brown Jug” traveling award will be back in play after a four-year absence. The Jug is currently on display at Sidney High School. The Lehman-Fort Loramie matchup has recently occupied the final slot of the regular season. In 2012 it moves to week four as the two join the Northwest Central Conference.
EXTRA POINTS
The traditional football powers in the Midwest Athletic Conference often have difficulty in scheduling non-league games. Delphos St. John’s is a good example. This season they played Detroit Central Catholic in week two. Next year that slot goes to Port Clinton, 110 miles from Delphos. Though currently having a tough season, St. Henry still has a big reputation and has encountered difficulty in replacing Marion Pleasant, since that school wanted out of the season-opening series. The Redskins recently signed Mariemont (near Cincinnati) to a one year deal for the 2012 lidlifter.

OSU paid $142,000 COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — The Ohio State Lantern is reporting that the university has paid a Columbus law firm nearly $142,000 to represent players during recent NCAA investigations into the eligibility of several Buckeyes athletes. The student newspaper reports that the firm of Crabbe, Brown and James LLP has been paid $141,814.30 as of mid-September. Ohio State spokeswoman Shelly Hoffman confirmed the total. Larry James, who has represented several suspended players, says the money has not come from the university's general fund but directed questions to Ohio State. Ohio State has had players suspended from three different NCAA investigations over the past 10 months, including accepting improper benefits from a tattooparlor owner, taking too much in pay for summer jobs and receiving money to attend a charity event. The university is awaiting a ruling from the NCAA for the violations.

BULLETIN BOARD
Goins works at state bar association COLUMBUS — The Ohio State Bar Association has welcomed Ashley Goins as the newest addition to the Public and Media Relations Department. As an intern, her responsibilities include crafting feature stories and news releases, updating the website and assisting with programs sponsored by the department, such as the Law and Media Conference that will be held Friday. Goins was born and raised in Sidney and is the daughter of Keith and Deb Goins. After graduating from Lehman Catholic High School, Goins received a full scholarship to The Ohio State University. In June 2012, she will graduate from OSU with a bachelor’s degree in business administration.

Old livestock farming method gaining new popularity BY PATRICIA ANN SPEELMAN pspeelman@sdnccg.com When Peter Allen wrote the popular song lyric, “Everything old is new again,” he probably wasn’t thinking of grazing cattle. But his words certainly apply to a technique employed by some Shelby County farmers: managed intensive grazing (MIG). Since biblical times, herders have moved their cattle from pasture to pasture to graze. It’s a system almost as old as the hills. But it’s just within the last decade or two that the practice has come back into vogue. It is standard operating procedure abroad in places including New Zealand and Ireland — and on many farms in southeast Ohio. And the late Bob Evans, of restaurant-chain For photo reprints, visit www.sidneydailynews.com SDN Photo/Luke Gronneberg fame, was a big proponent of JASON GIBBS, of Maplewood, moves cattle from one pasture to another in a practice known grazing. as managed intensive grazing.

WSU-Lake Campus opens Lehman H.S. to host cheer new student housing CELINA — The Lake Campus of Wright State University held a ceremonial ribbon-cutting for the first building of the Student Housing Villas on Friday. Joined by Wright State University President David Hopkins, Lake Campus Dean Bonnie Mathies, Western Ohio Educational Foundation (WOEF) Board members and representatives from the Wright State University Board of Trustees as well as faculty, staff and students of Wright State University, WOEF Development Officer Tom Knapke had the honors of cutting the ribbon in the ceremony. A welcome by Mathies was followed by remarks from Hopkins, in which he recognized that the student housing was the next step in facilitating campus growth, and highlighted the community spirit of the Lake Campus and the WOEF Board. “Your amazing support helps change
the lives of our students every day,” said Hopkins. “From scholarships to student housing, you have made our Lake Campus a wonderful place to live, learn and grow.” Knapke, a key force in the development of the housing initiative, then thanked several individuals, businesses and organizations involved in the project. To Knapke’s surprise, WOEF members Bernie Schroer, Dee Whitcraft and Lake Campus employee Dennis Ray revealed the name of the first building: Knapke Villa. Knapke’s family joined him in this honor, recognizing his tireless efforts and long-lasting tenure as a significant supporter of the Lake Campus.

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.
