BY JENNIFER BUMGARNER jbumgarner@sdnccg.com Shelby County farmers had a chance to voice their concerns about recent changes to farmland values.

Shelby County Auditor Denny York recently announced tentative real estate values affecting taxes for the next three years had been determined. Because of changes for farmland owners, York, along with the Farm Bureau held a pub-

lic information meeting on Tuesday at the Sidney VFW. The change which is causing the most questions has to do with a significant increase in farmland values under the statewide Current Agricultural Use Value (CAUV) formula. In 2008, the weighted average value assigned to Shelby County farmland was $511 per acre. In 2011, that weighted average value will rise to $1,227 per acre. The adjustment reflects a 140 percent increase,

but according to York, the valuation under CAUV still represents less than 25 percent of true market price typically paid for farmland in Shelby County. The information used for the calculations are based on yield information, cropping pattern, crop prices, non-land production costs and capitalization rate.

According to numbers provided by York, in 2008 farmland costs were roughly $6.83 per acre in the CAUV proSee FARM/Page 9A

Rain delays harvest A combine sits idle in a soggy cornfield at the intersection of Ohio 274 and Staley Road Tuesday after the recent rains. “The ground is saturated,” said Roger Lentz, Farm Service Agency executive director for Shelby County. “We got between 2 and 4 inches of rain in some parts of the county. It will be awhile before the farmers can get back into the fields.”

Lentz said between 20 to 25 percent of the county’s corn is still in the field. Most of the county’s soybean crops have been harvested. “If we get much more rain, the farmers may have to wait until the ground freezes before they can get back in and finish the harvest.”

The wind is also causing problems by knocking the corn stalks over. “We’ve had a later than normal harvest, but then we had a later planting season this year. So it all balances out,” said Lentz.

Council OKs relocation of day-care center

BY MIKE SEFFRIN mseffrin@sdnccg.com Sidney City Council Monday night gave the go-ahead for a day-care center to relocate, considered assessing the cost of a building demolition and learned about a plan to allow customers to pay city utility bills online.

Council adopted as an emergency an ordinance amending the zoning code to allow Rogy’s Learning Place to move into a building at

2280 Industrial Drive. The amendment was needed because the building is in an I-2, general industrial district.

The Sidney Planning Commission and city staff previously had recommended the amendment to allow the day care as a conditional use in the industrial district.

Tom Middleton of Emerson Wagner Realty, representing Rogy’s, asked council to approve the ordinance as an emergency measure, which would make it effective upon

adoption. Speaking during a public hearing on the matter, Middleton explained that the day care had to move out of its former location because of new ownership there, and currently is operating from temporary facilities in the Sidney Baptist Church and the Salvation Army. This is putting a strain on the families that depend on the day care, as these temporary sites may not always be available.

He also stressed that in these See CITY/Page 3A

An Anna man was found guilty of sexual battery in Shelby County Common Pleas Court on Tuesday.

Whitfield “John” Farley III, 45, 624 W. Main St., Anna, submitted a plea of no contest to two Farley counts of sexual battery, felonies of the third degree. By pleading no contest, he was found guilty of the counts. In pleading no contest, there will be no charges filed by the FBI in relation to this case and the charges in Miami County will be dismissed following the sentencing.

Farley worked at Clear Creek Farms when he engaged in sexual conduct with a 17-year old girl. He was originally charged with four counts of sexual battery in Shelby County and was charged with obstructing official business and contributing to the delinquency of a minor in Miami County. Those charges were filed after FBI agents exercised a search warrant at Farley’s residence in Anna. The FBI was involved because Farley, a parttime corrections officer, allegedly brought the victim from Wayne County, Ind., into the Miami and Shelby County area. Farley also worked parttime at West Central Juvenile Detention Center in Miami County.

Council considers appropriations Approves state request for new bridge on Ohio 29

BY MIKE SEFFRIN mseffrin@sdnccg.com Sidney City Council Monday night considered supplemental appropriations of more than $1.88 million and OK’d a state project to reconstruct a bridge at no cost to the city.

Council introduced an ordinance that would authorize supplemental appropriations for various funds in the 2011 budget.

Council will consider the ordinance again at its Nov. 28 meeting.

The income tax fund will account for most of the supplemental appropriations at nearly $1.5 million. In her report to council, Finance Officer Ginger Adams said income tax collections are

transferred from the income tax fund to the general fund (80 percent) and the capital improvement fund (20 percent).

These transfers are limited to the amount of available appropriations in the income tax fund.

At the end of 2010, collections were greater than anticipated. The amounts transferred were limited to remaining appropriations in 2010. Early in 2011, these additional 2010 tax collections were transferred. If the city’s tax collections this year reach the amount projected in the 2012 budget book, additional appropriations will be necessary to make interfund transfers.

Council passed a reso-

lution consenting to an Ohio Department of Transportation project to raise the Ohio 29 overpass over Interstate 75 so it has a 16 1/2-foot clearance. The project is scheduled for bid in 2015.

The project area is outside the city limits, but the bridge ramps are parallel and adjacent to the city limits. ODOT asked for the city’s consent for the project, although no city funds will be spent for it.

City officials have raised the issue of traffic congestion that might result from the project.

ODOT said it would do traffic counts to determine if traffic signals are warranted.

In other action, coun-

Wagner added that he was concerned about the elimination of swimming lessons the city formerly had offered. He hoped another agency or group could fund the program.

“It would be nice if someone else would step up,” he said.

Parks and Recreation Director Duane Gaier reviewed the history of the city’s new recreation area, Brookside Park.

The city acquired the property, a former Girl Scout camp, in 2009.

Since then, the area, which is adjacent to Tawawa Park, has been developed into a city park.

Gaier said the city will continue to maintain a

lodge building on the site, but he said the city does not have the staff or funds to offer the building for use by the public.

CITY tough economic times, parents who cannot find day care for their children may have to miss work, and thus could lose their jobs.

“Keep that in mind as to whether it is an emergency,” he asked council.

Council heard the introduction of an ordinance that would assess the cost of a building demolition to real estate at 325 Grove St. The city had declared a detached garage at that address a “dangerous building” because the roof had fully collapsed, causing the partial collapse of the walls. The city hired a contractor to demolish the garage for $1,700.

Council will consider further action on the ordinance at its Nov. 28 meeting.

Responding to questions from Councilman Steve Wagner, Community Service Director Barbara Dulworth said the owner of the property “basically took no responsibility for the garage.” She said the property is part of a bankruptcy and the owners’ attorney has advised them not to set foot on the property.

The owners apparently are Frank and Kathy Pulfer, of Marysville. A letter was sent by the city building inspector to the Pulfers advising them of the condition of the garage.

Wagner asked about the condition of the house on the property.

Dulworth said it appeared to be OK based on an exterior inspection done by the building in-

City Law Director Mike Smith said there is “no mechanism to force a lien holder” to take action on a property.

Lenders may feel it is not worth their while to foreclose on properties, he said.

Smith noted the city earlier was able to demolish some homes using federal money, which has since dried up.

“We now have 12 properties that are not an expense,” Dulworth said.

Finance Officer Ginger Adams told council about a plan to offer customers the option of paying city bills online. She and Ken Van Hook, IT manager, outlined the current payment methods available and explained how the proposed online payment system would work. Even if customers did not pay online, they would be able to access their accounts and see a history of their city utility usage.

The system recommended by the city staff would offer online bill payment with choices of credit card payment or echeck. Customers would pay an online convenience fee for paying by credit card; the city would absorb the e-check cost.

Adams estimated the online payment system would be in operation by April or May.

Obama opens first Ohio field office COLUMBUS (AP) — President Barack Obama’s re-election campaign is opening its first Ohio field office as it looks to make inroads with voters in the presidential battleground state.

Organizing for America has had staff in the state, though many work out of Democratic party offices. The campaign’s new field office in Chillicothe is the first to open separately from the party. The field office will help coordinate

volunteers and other campaign activities ahead of the 2012 election.

Obama carried the bellwether state in 2008, after Republican President George W. Bush won it twice.

Tuesday’s opening of the field office comes as Vice President Joe Biden visited the state in a campaign stop. He touted last week’s labor and Democratic victory in which voters repealed Ohio’s new collective bargaining law.

Armstrong, Glenn to be honored

Zehringer named ODNR director COLUMBUS (AP) — Gov. John Kasich says the head of the state’s agriculture department will take over at the Ohio Department of Natural Resources.

Jim Zehringer becomes director of the agency Tuesday afternoon. He replaces David Mustine, who left the department in September to oversee energy matters at the state’s semiprivate economic development agency JobsOhio.

Zehringer is a former member of the Ohio House and the former owner of a poultry and fish farm in Fort Recovery.

Dr. Tony Forshey, who has served as the state veterinarian for six years, was named interim director of the Department of Agriculture.

Biden pitches middle-class values EUCLID (AP) — Vice President Joe Biden reveled Tuesday in labor’s big win in the fight to repeal Ohio’s collective-bargaining law and said it was the opening shot in a “mini-revolution” to defend the American middle class.

“You fired the first shot. It’s not about Barack Obama. It’s not about Joe Biden,” said Biden, standing before a fire truck parked sideways in a firehouse packed with union supporters in this bluecollar Cleveland suburb.

Instead, Biden said, it’s about the middle class, “They’re the ones that make this country move.”

Biden repeated the middle-class theme in brief comments to reporters, calling the collective-bargaining fight in Ohio the first shot in a “mini-revolution.”

“You are not what you’d call, you know, a liberal state. You are a bellwether state,” Biden said.

Biden told the firehouse audience that a social compact was under attack. “The bargain has said that every worker, public and private, union and non-union, deserves a fair shot,” he said.

“A bargain that said everyone could contribute and should contribute their fair share. Not just the poor, but the wealthy.

A bargain that said that the deck should not be stacked. Part of the role of government is to unstack the deck against middleclass people.”

Republican state chairman Kevin DeWine highlighted Ohio’s jobless rate in criticizing the Biden visit. Ohio’s unemployment rate in September was 9.1 percent, com-

Leader pleads guilty RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — The leader of a violent fake-identification ring that operated in 11 states pleaded guilty to racketeering and two other charges an hour before his trial was scheduled to begin in federal court Tuesday.

Israel Cruz Millan of Raleigh, N.C., led a fake ID ring enterprise with roots in Mexico that prosecutors say protected its lucrative turf with beatings and at least one slaying. A trial for the man accused of that killing, alleged former Arkansas cell leader Edy JiminezOliverez, began Tuesday as scheduled.

“There are a number of document rings operating around the country,” John Torres, special agent in charge of U.S. Immigration and Customs En-

forcement in Washington, D.C., and Virginia, said in a telephone interview.

“We don’t see many resorting to this level of violence.”

Thirty people originally were charged in the case. Twenty-six have pleaded guilty, two are fugitives and the identity of one remains unknown.

Millan, 26, will be sentenced Feb. 16 after pleading guilty to racketeering, conspiracy to produce false identification documents and money laundering.

According to the indictment, Millan supervised cell managers in 19 cities in Virginia, Arkansas, Connecticut, Indiana, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Missouri, North Carolina, Ohio, Rhode Island and Tennessee.

pared with 8.8 percent when President Barack Obama took office and 7.3 percent when he was elected.

“The fact that the White House deems it appropriate to hold a campaign rally in Ohio where more than 530,000 people are out of work, just shows how out-oftouch they are with the hard-working families of Ohio,” DeWine said in an email.

By a 61 percent margin, Ohio voters last week rejected the law limiting the bargaining abilities of

more than 350,000 teachers, firefighters, police officers and other public workers.

Republican Gov. John Kasich had said the law would help hold down taxes and make the state more appealing to business. He said he respected the ballot decision and would reflect on the result.

The union victory was tempered by a separate vote where 66 percent of voters rejected an insurance mandate in Obama’s federal health insurance overhaul.

LUCASVILLE (AP) — A man who fatally shot his three sons while they slept in 1982, shortly after his wife filed for divorce, was executed Tuesday with each of his hands clenched in an obscene gesture.

Reginald Brooks of East Cleveland died at 2:04 p.m. Tuesday, ending a nearly six-month break in the use of capital punishment in Ohio, which often trails only Texas in the number of annual inmate executions.

Brooks declined to make a final statement and remained silent.

Witnesses, which included his former wife and her sisters, had a view of his left hand, its middle finger raised.

Prison officials said he was making the same gesture with his right hand.

State and federal courts rejected attorneys’ arguments that Brooks was not mentally competent and that the government hid relevant evidence that could have affected his case. The execution was delayed by more than three hours as attorneys exhausted Brooks’ appeals. The U.S. Supreme Court refused Tuesday to halt

the execution.

He is the fourth inmate in Ohio to be put to death using the surgical sedative pentobarbital as a stand-alone execution drug.

Beverly Brooks, who found her 11-, 15- and 17-year-old sons dead when she returned from work, and her two sisters sat silently, wearing white T-shirts printed with a photo of the boys during the execution.

Beverly Brooks did not comment, but one of her sisters, Monica Stephens, spoke on behalf of the family.

“Our nephews are gone, and they’ll never be replaced,” she said. “The memories we’ll always have. The what-ifs we’ll always have.”

Reginald Brooks’ two defense attorneys and two spiritual advisers were his witnesses.

At 66, Brooks is the oldest person put to death since Ohio resumed executions in 1999.

The defense argued Brooks was a paranoid schizophrenic who suffered from mental illness long before he shot his sons in the head as they slept at their East Cleveland home on a Saturday morning.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — U.S. Senator Rob Portman, R-Ohio, will be on hand to congratulate former astronauts and Ohio Heroes John Glenn and Neil Armstrong, as well as Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins, on receiving the Congressional Gold Medal for their contributions to America’s rich history in space exploration today in Washington, D.C. “I’m honored to call these two men friends, and am so thrilled to see their immeasurable contributions to Ohio and the nation given the respect they deserve,” said Portman.

The Congressional Gold Medal is awarded to individuals by Congress on behalf of the nation’s public gratitude for significant contributions to our country. This ceremony will honor Neil A. Armstrong, the first human to walk on the Moon; Edwin E. "Buzz" Aldrin, Jr., the pilot of the lunar module and second person to walk on the Moon; Michael Collins, the pilot of their Apollo 11 mission's command module; and John Herschel Glenn, Jr., who, in 1962, became the first American to orbit the Earth.

Glenn and Armstrong are Ohio natives of Cambridge and Wapakoneta,

Post office near default?

WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. Postal Service said Tuesday it has lost $5.1 billion in the past year, pushing it closer to imminent default on a multibilliondollar payment and to future bankruptcy as the weak economy and increased Internet use drive down mail volume.

The financial losses for the year ended Sept. 30 came despite deep cuts of more than 130,000 jobs in recent years and the closing of some smaller local post offices.

Losses will only accelerate in the coming year, Postmaster General Patrick Donahoe warned, citing faster-than-expected declines in first-class mail. He implored Congress to take swift, wide-ranging action to stabilize the ailing agency’s finances as it nears a legal deadline Friday to pay $5.5 billion into the U.S. Treasury for future retiree health benefits.

Congress wants pizza WASHINGTON (AP) — Who needs leafy greens and carrots when pizza and french fries will do?

In an effort many 9-yearolds will cheer, Congress wants pizza and french fries to stay on school lunch lines and is fighting the Obama administration’s efforts to take unhealthy foods out of schools.

The final version of a spending bill released late Monday would unravel school lunch standards the Agriculture Department proposed earlier this year.

These include limiting the use of potatoes on the lunch line, putting new restrictions on sodium and boosting the use of whole grains.

The legislation would block or delay all of those efforts.

Prosecutor’s book ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — A retired prosecutor from the Casey Anthony murder trial calls her lead attorney “smarmy” in a new book and says he didn’t think a jury would ever agree to the death penalty for the Florida mother, who was ultimately acquitted of killing her 2-year-old daughter.

Jeff Ashton writes in Tuesday’s “Imperfect Justice: Prosecuting Casey Anthony” that he would have been happier if the prosecution team had left the death penalty off the table. He also confirmed that toward the end of the trial, Anthony’s attorneys tried to persuade the 25-year-old to accept a plea deal but she refused to listen.

Diamond sold for $10.9M GENEVA (AP) — The Sun-Drop Diamond of South Africa, a giant pearshaped yellow gem weighing 110.3 carats, has sold for more than $10.9 million at auction Tuesday, beating previous records for a jewel of its type.

Including commission the unidentified telephone bidder paid almost $12.4 million for the gem, putting it within the $11 million to $15 million range Sotheby’s had estimated before the sale.

“It’s a record for a yellow diamond at auction,” said David Bennett, the head of Sotheby’s jewelry division. He added that it was the eighth most expensive diamond ever sold at auction.

Crackdowns reach epicenter of Wall Street protests NEW YORK (AP) — Crackdowns against the Occupy Wall Street encampments across the county reached the epicenter of the movement Tuesday, when police rousted protesters from a Manhattan park and a judge ruled that their free speech rights do not extend to pitching a tent and setting up camp for months at a time.

It was a potentially devastating setback. If crowds of demonstrators return to Zuccotti Park, they will not be allowed to bring tents, sleeping bags and other equipment that turned the area into a makeshift city of dissent.

But demonstrators pledged to carry on with their message protesting corporate greed and economic inequality, either in Zuccotti or a yet-to-be chosen new home.

“This is much bigger than a square plaza in downtown Manhattan,” said Hans Shan, an organizer who was working with churches to find places for protesters to sleep.

“You can’t evict an idea whose time has come.”

State Supreme Court Justice Michael Stallman upheld the city’s eviction of the protesters after an emergency appeal by the National Lawyers Guild.

The protesters have been camped out in the privately owned park since mid-September.

Bloomberg said he ordered the sweep because health and safety conditions and become “intolerable” in the crowded plaza. The raid was conducted in the middle of the night “to reduce the risk of confrontation” and “to minimize disruption to the surrounding neighborhood,” he said.

By early Tuesday evening, some protesters were being allowed back into the park two

by two. But they could each take only a small bag.

Still, some protesters believed the loss of Zuccotti Park may be an opportunity to broaden and decentralize the protest to give it staying power.

“People are really recognizing that we need to build a movement here,” Shan said.

“What we’re dedicated to is not just about occupying

space. That’s a tactic.”

But without a place to congregate, protesters will have a harder time communicating with each other en masse. The leaders of the movement spent most of Tuesday gathering in small groups throughout the city — in church basements, in public plazas and on street corners — and relaying plans in scattered text messages and email.

Syrian soldiers killed as crisis accelerates BEIRUT (AP) — Army defectors ambushed dozens of Syrian troops and regime forces gunned down civilians during one of the bloodiest days of the 8-month-old uprising, which appeared Tuesday to be spiraling out of President Bashar Assad’s control.

Up to 90 people were killed in a gruesome wave of violence Monday, activists said. The extent of the bloodshed only came to light Tuesday, in part because corpses lying in the streets did not reach the morgue until daylight.

As the bloodshed spiked, Assad’s former allies were turning on him in rapid succession — a sign of profound impatience with a leader who has failed to stem months of unrest that could explode into a regional conflagration.

Turkey, Jordan and the 22-member Arab League all signaled they were fed up with Assad’s response to the uprising and were ready to pressure him to go.

Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Tuesday he no longer has confidence in the government led by Assad, a 46-year-old eye doctor who inherited power from his father 11 years ago.

“No regime can survive by killing or jailing,” said Erdogan, who cultivated close ties with Assad before the uprising began in March. “No one can build a future over the blood of the oppressed.”

Erdogan — who disrespectfully addressed Assad by his first name — warned that the brutal crackdown threatens to place him on a list of leaders who “feed on blood.”

Turkey also canceled plans for oil exploration in Syria and threatened to cut electricity supplies to the country, which is burning through the $17 billion in foreign reserves the government had at the start of the uprising. Turkey provides around 7 percent of Syria’s total electricity consumption.

A day earlier, Jordan’s King Abdullah II said Assad should step down, the first Arab leader to publicly make such a call.

And over the weekend, the 22-member Arab League took a near-unanimous vote to suspend Damascus from the regional body.

In a sign that Saudi Arabia’s rulers now foresee an end to Assad’s rule, the former Saudi ambassador to the United States, Prince Turki Al Faisal, told reporters in Washington that it was “inevitable” that Assad would step down.

“I think what we’re seeing here and continue to see is that the drumbeat of international pressure is increasing on Assad,” U.S. State Department spokesman Mark Toner said.

Despite the widespread condemnation, Assad was unlikely to put an end to the

crackdown, said Fadia Kiwan, a political science professor at Beirut’s St. Joseph University. The reason is simple: Assad’s regime would almost certainly fall if the crackdown ends, she said.

Although activists say the anti-government protesters have remained largely peaceful, an armed insurgency has developed in recent months targeting Assad’s military and security forces.

Thirty-four soldiers were killed Monday in an ambush in Daraa, the birthplace of the uprising, said Rami Abdul-Rahman, head of the British-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights. The brazen attack by army defectors suggests a new confidence among troops who have sided with the protesters and highlights the potential for an armed confrontation to escalate.

Amateur video provided by activists showed what appeared to be an army tank and other military vehicles engulfed in flames in Daraa. “God is great!” a voice cried out. “This is an armored vehicle with a machine gun from Assad’s brigades. God is great!”

Other footage showed a fire at the end of an alley sending up a plume of smoke, followed by an explosion. “That’s the free army!” a man shouted as gunshots rang out. “That’s a sniper,” another voice said.

“There’s a sniper at the school.”

Boehner calls deficit plan a ‘fair offer’ WASHINGTON (AP) — House Speaker John Boehner publicly blessed a Republican deficit-reduction plan Tuesday that would raise $300 billion in additional tax revenue while overhauling the IRS code, bucking opposition by some GOP presidential hopefuls and colleagues wary of violating a longstanding point of party orthodoxy.

Boehner, the top Republican in Congress, spoke as time grew perilously short for agreement by the deficit-fighting “supercommittee.” The panel has until a week from Wednesday to vote on any compromise, but several officials said that in reality, perhaps as little as 48 or 72 hours are available to the six Republicans and six Democrats.

While Boehner’s voice is important, his endorsement does not mean all Republicans will follow him or that a deal is in sight. Republicans have been unified for two decades in opposition to higher taxes, while Democrats on the supercommittee insist on additional revenue before they will agree to cuts in benefit programs like Medicare as part of

a compromise.

The speaker said that the plan, outlined a week ago to Democrats on the committee, was “a fair offer.” Adding tax reform would generate economic growth, he said, speaking as the supercommittee groped uncertainly for a compromise to reduce red ink by $1.2 trillion or more over a decade.

Any deal must be certified by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office as meeting the $1.2 trillion target, circulated to lawmakers and then posted publicly before the committee takes formal action.

Failure to act would trigger $1.2 trillion in automatic deficit cuts in 2013 that both sides say they want to avoid.

The full committee hasn’t met in several days, but various subgroups have been in near constant contact.

More than deficit reduction is at stake, one year into an era of divided government.

Democrats are hoping to add elements of President Barack Obama’s jobs legislation to any deficit-cutting deal, including extensions of a Social Security payroll tax cut and unemployment benefits that

are due to expire at the end of the year. A comprehensive rewrite of farm programs may hang in the balance, too, and lawmakers also must pass legislation to assure sufficient funds to reimburse doctors who treat Medicare patients.

As the pace of private talks intensifies, the two sides vie publicly for the high ground in public opinion.

“I am still hopeful that a few Republicans will put their country first and come to us with a credible offer with real revenue,” Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., co-chair of the supercommittee, told reporters as she emerged from a late-afternoon meeting.

Earlier, the Republican Senate leader, Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, said GOP members on the committee outlined a proposal several days ago and have yet to receive a response from Democrats. “It’s been a long week, waiting for a counter-proposal,” he said.

The twin issues of taxes and benefit programs have long been stumbling blocks in budget negotiations.

In negotiations last summer, according to numerous offi-

cials, President Barack Obama and Boehner were considering sizeable cuts to benefit programs as well as an overhaul of the tax code that would have raised as much as $800 billion in additional revenue — money that Republicans said at the time would have come from economic growth. The talks ultimately failed.

In his comments Tuesday, Boehner cited the importance of tax overhaul in the proposal that Sen. Pat Toomey, R-Pa., made to supercommittee Democrats last week.

“It’s important for us to, in my opinion, reform the tax code. And we’ve got the highest business tax rate in the world. We’ve got a personal tax system that’s so complicated it costs Americans about $500 billion a year to comply with the current tax code,” he said.

Boehner asserted that the changes would “make America more competitive and produce more economic growth. And so I do believe that reforming the code is a step in the right direction. The details of how we get there, frankly, I think are yet to be worked out.”

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your support during my recent bid for Loramie Township Fiscal Officer. Without the confidence my family, friends, and constituents displayed in my ability, the opportunity with which I now eagerly engage as the fiscal officer for Loramie Township would not have been possible.

I sincerely hope to exceed the expectations of the office and serve all who live in the township with diligence, pride, and equality. As I begin this endeavor, I hope to continue the previous administrator’s transparency of the finances within Loramie Township.

Once again, thank you voters of Loramie Township.

ENGAGEMENT

Couple to wed TROY — Mindy Shardo and Justin Coby, both of Troy, announce their engagement and plans to marry in the Grace Baptist Church in Troy in November 2011.

The bride-to-be is the daughter of Jerry and Reyna Shardo, of Willowdell. She is a 2003 graduate of Versailles High School and a 2007 graduate of Wright State University, where she earned a bachelor’s degree in early childhood education. She is employed by Newton Local Schools as a second grade teacher and the junior varsity girls’ basketball coach and by Practice Crossfit in Troy as a trainer.

Program helps pay heating bills Tri-County Community Action has announced two programs to help low-income Shelby County residents with heating costs. The programs benefit Shelby Countians at or below 200 percent of the poverty level.

The Home Energy Assistance Program (HEAP) is a federally funded program administered by the Ohio Department of Development’s office of Community Services. It provides a one-time benefit that is applied to a client’s energy bill by the utility company. Applications will be accepted through May 31, 2012.

The Winter Crisis program runs through March 31, 2012. The program is available to residents at or below 200 percent of the federal poverty line who have been disconnected from their heat source, have received a disconnect notice or who have less than a 25 percent supply of bulk fuel.

Applicants for either program must have proof of household income for the 13 weeks preceding their appoint-

If an applicant has no income, he must give proof that explains how he maintains a household. If a family or friend provides financial assistance, a written latter from the individual will be accepted.

In-home appointments are available for homebound clients.

They secrete a foul odor and stain walls and clothing when smashed.

In addition, it was discovered that the Asian lady beetle’s appetite extended to many fruits.

Vineyard grapes are common food sources of this pest, and just a few of these beetles can ruin the wine produced from an entire grape harvest.

Insects and bugs can also be classified into four groups depending on what they eat: plants, meat, decayed material, or omnivorous, a combination of two or more food sources.

For example, Young said, black carpenter ants are scavengers feeding on dead bugs, aphid honeydew (feces), and dead plants. Most ground beetles are carnivorous since they prey upon other insects and bugs. The four-lined

plant bug uses piercing and sucking mouth parts to attack fruits, vegetables, flowers, and crops.

Wasps are generally omnivorous. They eat dead insects, fruit, and honey from bees.

The October meeting began with an introduction of guests Julie Gilardi and Ollie Anthony.

Sandy Fletcher and Patt Van Skiver brought the arrangement.

Christmas The Flower Show is scheduled for Dec. 13 at the Dorothy Love Community Center.

is a nasty and aggressive stinger, and the sawfly causes damage by feeding on and laying its eggs on leaves in garden areas.

There are more than 450 types of lady beetles in North America, and the ones seen most commonly in Shelby County range in color from pale green to orange to bright red with black spots. The “good” varieties of ladybugs feed on aphids, whiteflies, and scale insects, and are important allies in keeping these pests under control. The Asian lady beetle was first brought to the U.S. in an attempt to control aphid infestations in farming areas. But with no natural enemies, their populations exploded. During the fall, these beetles seek indoor shelter, often in homes and other buildings.

The Way to offer harvest concert

Gardeners learn about bugs The Rainbow Gardeners learned about insects and other bugs when Dr. Curtis Young, of the Ohio State University Extension Office in Van Wert County, was guest speaker at the club’s October meeting.

He offered one way in which garden bugs and insects can be classified: pests, beneficials and neutrals. Aphids, he said, are in the pest category. They attack flowers, roses in particular, by sucking plant fluids and leaving behind a sticky honey that attracts ants and causes numerous diseases. Most ants are considered beneficial because they feed on other insect pests and aerate the soil with their tunnels. The honeybee is an important pollinator, but so are other members of the hymenoptera family. The yellow jacket

Working alongside Rehn are volunteers like Jerry Pudlewski, of Sidney. He has been volunteering at the Holy Angels Soup Kitchen held at the Alpha Community Center for “a couple of years.” The 64year-old Sidney resident simply “thought it would be a good thing to do.” However, he has learned a lot. “Everybody has a story ... a lot of them are elderly. It’s not just about hunger; some come in for socialization. Then there are families, too ... they get a nice hot meal.”

Support noted To the editor: The Botkins Board of Education and administration would like express our sincere gratitude to the residents of our school district for supporting the Nov. 8 bond levy to build a new K-12 school.

The community’s input and dialogue enabled us to create a proposal that garnered support for such a tremendous opportunity for our school and community.

There were many people that helped with the levy campaign. We owe gratitude to our levy committee for their time, effort and talent in spearheading this initiative. Special appreciation goes to the volunteers and the Botkins Local School staff for their support and assistance.

This is an exciting time for our school and community. We are grateful for the community’s endorsement. Our children will have a brighter tomorrow and a stronger future because of your support and your vote. On Nov. 8, the voters of our school district chose our children and our community.

House Speaker William Batchelder says he and fellow Republicans had wanted to pass the measure Wednesday.

But Batchelder spokesman Mike Dittoe says it doesn’t make sense bring the bill to the House floor without the votes to make it take effect immediately.

Republicans would need seven votes from Democrats.

U.S. House district lines approved in September are in limbo pending a Democratic repeal effort.

State lawmakers would need to pass a revised map before Dec. 7 to avoid holding a presi-

dential and U.S. House primary in June and other primary contests in March.

gram. With the increase in crop prices and a decrease in interest rates, the cost per acre in tax has risen to $16.42.

“It may seem a lot higher,” said York. “But when you put it into perspective it’s basically a bushel and a half of beans.”

Many of the questions posed by farmers during the meeting dealt with where the extra money would go with the increase in tax dollars. According to

York, there will be no extra money.

“What’s going on right now is that the value for a house for sale is not bringing in as much as farmland values,” said York.

Larry Gearhardt with the Ohio Farm Bureau added that as the “ag values have gone up, residential gets a break.” Essentially the final number in tax revenue will remain unbut changed agricultural land will be

CELINA — For almost a month, a Celina woman kept an $81,000 secret from her husband.

Bonnie Rutschilling, who has relatives in Maria Stein, appeared on Tuesday night’s Wheel of Fortune. Rutchilling was the big winner of the night — $81,900 in cash and prizes.

The show was taped in October in Los Angeles.

She qualified for the show during a try-out in Los Angeles in the spring.

CINCINNATI (AP) — The Rev. Jesse Jackson joined demonstrators at a rally Tuesday protesting the recent clearing out of Occupy camps in New York and other cities. Elsewhere in the state, police said they arrested seven protesters in Columbus for refusing to leave a bank.

Jackson spoke to about 200 people in Cincinnati’s Piatt Park on Tuesday night, urging them to continue their fight against corporate greed and social inequality.

“You are that voice that will not go away. It is not whether you occupy downtown or not. You occupy the conscience of a nation,” Jackson said, according to the Cincinnati Enquirer. “You are America’s unfinished business.”

Earlier Tuesday, the Occupy group in Columbus took its protest and chanting into two banks, a Fifth Third branch and a U.S. bank branch, where those who refused to leave were arrested. The pro-

The Occupy Cincinnati rally came the same day that Occupy Wall Street protesters were evicted and arrested in a New York City park. The park reopened Tuesday night after sanitation crews cleaned it, but protesters weren’t allowed to bring sleeping bags or tents back in.

S&H Products gives awards Osmun named ‘Person of the Year’ S&H Products honored a number of people during its 24th annual appreciation banquet recently, including naming Barb Osmun as “Person of the Year.”

Laura Zureich, superintendent of the Shelby County Board of Developmental Disabilities, welcomed 220 people to the banquet that was held at the Shelby Oaks Golf Club.

The banquet is held to honor S&H employees for their years of service, accomplishments and the organization recognizes community members who have supported S & H Products. Those being honored were nominated by S&H staff and the DD service and support adminstration staff.

Osmun was recognized as the “Person of the Year.” She was recognized for her ability in facing serious challenges in her life, the courage to leave a difficult living situation and dealing with serious medical problems. In spite of her problems, Osmun has a “very positive attitude and outlook on life” and was recognized for being a “positive role model.”

Due to medical problems, Osmun was not able to attend the banquet and Rick Husa, adult services director, asked everyone to keep Osmun in their thoughts.

Also recognized for their community support were Rob Fridley, of Shelby Oaks Golf Club, and Michael Jannides, of the Spot Restaurant, who were honored for their service and willingness to accommodate S&H Products over the years.

Others being recognized included Greg Short, founder of Partners in Recognition in Fort Loramie, who was honored for his openness to diversity and recognizing ability.

Mary Beth Monnier, former S&H board member and Creative Marketing Strategies

employee, was recognized for her abilities and interest in promoting the S&H Christmas card and calendar projects. She was also honored for helping promote S&H with a new website and brochures.

The Personal Achievement Award was given to six employees for progress in reaching a personal goal or an outstanding achievement.

Those awards were given to Felicity Berry, Jay Born, Kevin Grillot, Rob Robbins, Scott Skinner and Betty Stiver.

The Years of Service awards were given Tony Chambers and Craig Howell for 25 years of service; Virginia Ammon, Matt Campbell, Heal Hubbard and Joe Mann for 20 years of service; Alyssa Elliston for 15 years of service; Betty Stiver for 10 years of service and Jessica Goff, Dean Jones, Ashley Patterson and Devin Sowers for five years of service.

The Shirley Warbington Award was given to Duff Geier. The award was first given four years ago to honor Shirley Warbington, who was an S&H Products employee for a long time and who made an impact on employees and staff with her positive attitude and respect for others.

S&H employees received the mum centerpieces that decorated the tables as door prizes.

Husa thanked Donna Inman, the Spot Restaurant and Shelby Oaks Golf Club for their help with the evening.

Speaker tells teens: Don’t let popular culture ‘dictate the way you should act’ Nationally known speaker Courtney Brown spoke to the students and staff of Lehman Catholic High School at a recent all-school assembly, entertaining them like a stand-up comedian.

His message — chastity — was much more serious.

Brown began his presentation by articulating how men and women are different, not just physically but how their brains are wired. In the locker room, boys are asking the question, “How far did you get?” And in the lunchroom, girls are discussing, “Will this develop into a relationship?” Those perspectives blur the purpose of dating and can lead teens down the wrong path, he said.

Billed as a dynamic speaker with more than 10 years of youth ministry, teaching and retreat experience, Brown quickly captured the attention of the Lehman students by his references to rap music and today’s culture. Using experiences from his own life, he captured in words the growing pains that plague all adolescents.

“Popular culture talks about lust and calls it love.

We use each other for our own benefit and call it good,” he said. “Sex and love are

Bucks more concerned with their own problems COLUMBUS (AP) — Everybody’s got a solution for what ails Ohio State.

Interim coach Luke Fickell said he was grilled by fans at a meeting with a booster group on Tuesday morning.

“Sorry about that,” he said after he showed up a few minutes late for his weekly news conference. “The Quarterback Club had a lot more questions today.”

One persistent member of that club wanted to know why the Buckeyes only run on first and second downs and only throw on third.

“He told me when he coaching high was school, ‘We threw it on first, threw it on second and then ran draw plays on third and it was really successful,’” Fickell said. Then he added, “If Penn State’s listening, that might be our game plan.”

There are plenty of problems for players, coaches and fans to address.

The Buckeyes (6-4, 33 Big Ten) got off to a miserable start, showed rare flashes of being able to move the ball, but ultimately fell 26-23 in overtime at Purdue on Saturday. Now they have to address all the things that went wrong, and some that have been going wrong all year, before taking on the 21st-ranked Nittany Lions (8-2, 5-1) on Saturday in their home finale.

The No. 1 problem facing the Buckeyes is an offense — particularly a passing game — that has had great difficulty making plays.

Over the last five games, they’ve completed just 27 of 63 passes (43 percent) for 401 yards, an average of just 80 yards per game.

Purdue dared the Buckeyes to throw the ball. And they couldn’t.

“A lot of it has to do with where they’re at with the quarterback position,” Boilermakers coach Danny Hope said after the game. “Even though (Braxton Miller) is a very talented quarterback, he’s a freshman, and normally a freshman quarterback can’t come out there and manufacture a passing offense.”

As a result, the Boilermakers crowded the line with eight or nine defenders and matched up with any receivers. As a result, Ohio State was limited to 166 yards on the ground — 101 yards fewer than it had averaged over the previous

OHIO STATE head coach Luke Fickell signals to his team during the first half against Purdue in West Lafayette, Ind., Saturday. four games.

Miller was 8 of 18 passing for 132 yards and two touchdowns.

“You’ve just got to be able to make a few yards and rely on some of those guys up front even if they are putting in the extra guys,” Fickell said.

“Obviously there are a lot more questions. We all know. We’ve said it a million times: Balance has got to be the key.

We’ve got to create and find some more of that whether it’s throwing it or screening it or drawing it like the guy from the Quarterback Club said.”

Fickell said one of the problems is that receivers aren’t getting open. The return of DeVier Posey might solve that.

Posey has had two different NCAA suspensions — both for accepting improper benefits, first from a tattooparlor owner for signed memorabilia and the second for being overpaid for a summer job — totaling 10 games. He returns to the Buckeyes just in time to play in his final game at Ohio Stadium.

His loss has been felt more than anyone might have guessed. He was the second-leading receiver last year with 53 catches for 848 yards and seven touchdowns. All of this year’s wide-outs — in 10 games — have combined for 46 catches for 745 yards and five touchdowns.

Posey also brings a level of consistency,

something sorely lacking in the receiving corps. He has caught a pass in 27 consecutive games.

Two other prominent players who served at least five-game suspensions for improper benefits, offensive tackle Mike Adams and running back Dan “Boom” Herron, started the very first game they were available.

But Fickell wasn’t ready to declare Posey a starter.

“I don’t know yet.

We’ve got to go out there and see how that whole thing works out,” he said. “He’ll have an opportunity. We’ll see how practice goes, and we’ll see as we get closer to get game time.”

Ohio State is also dealing with problems on defense — opposing teams have converted on 53 percent of their thirddown plays over the last two games — and special teams. It was a blocked extra-point kick in the final minute that allowed Purdue to force the overtime.

Fickell is confident the Buckeyes can bounce back from their latest defeat. He said they were upbeat when they showed up at the football facility the day after the game.

“Yes, they’re disappointed. Yes, they’re hurt,” he said. “They’ve got a passion to play.

They’ve got a passion to get better. They’re not happy with where they are, so that was the greatest thing to see come Sunday.”

Interview may hurt Sandusky at trial GENARO C. ARMAS Associated Press STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) — Former Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky’s admission that he showered with and “horsed Sandusky around” with boys could be used by prosecutors trying to convict him of child sexabuse charges.

Experts in criminal law and crisis management questioned Sandusky’s decision to give a TV interview in which he said there was no abuse and that any activities in a campus shower with a boy were just horseplay, not molestation.

“Mr. Sandusky goes on worldwide television and admits he did everything the prosecution claims he did, except for the ultimate act of rape or sodomy? If I were a prosecutor, I’d be stunned,” said Lynne Abraham, the former district attorney of Philadelphia. “I was stunned, and then I was revolted.”

Abraham, who led a grand jury probe involving 63 accused priests from the Philadelphia archdiocese, was retained this week to lead an internal investigation of The Second Mile, the children’s charity founded by Sandusky, from which he allegedly culled his victims.

The child sex-assault charges filed against Sandusky this month have toppled Penn State’s longtime football coach, Joe Paterno, and the university’s president, Graham Spanier.

The school’s athletic director and vice president are accused of not reporting what they knew to police and have left their posts.

Sandusky is charged with abusing eight boys over the span of 15

years. He told NBC on Monday that he was not a pedophile but, in retrospect, should not have showered with boys.

“I could say that I have done some of those things. I have horsed around with kids. I have showered after workouts. I have hugged them, and I have touched their legs without intent of sexual contact,” Sandusky said Monday on NBC News’ “Rock Center.” ‘’I am innocent of those charges.”

When NBC’s Bob Costas asked him whether he was sexually attracted to underage boys, Sandusky replied: “Sexually attracted, no. I enjoy young people, I love to be around them, but, no, I’m not sexually attracted to young boys.”

Sandusky apparently decided to talk to Costas by phone Monday at the last minute, with the blessing of his attorney, Joseph Amendola, who was in the studio.

“What was especially astonishing about Sandusky’s interview is — and this will be the big moment in court — is when he stumbled over the question about whether he was sexually attracted to children,” said crisis management expert Eric Dezenhall, who runs a Washington consulting firm.“That may not be legal proof that he’s guilty, but it is certainly not helpful, to struggle with the question.”

The state grand jury investigation that led to Sandusky’s arrest followed a trail that goes back at least 13 years, leading to questions from some quarters about whether law enforcement moved too slowly.

The grand jury report detailed a 1998 investigation by Penn State police, begun after an 11-year-old boy’s mother complained that Sandusky had showered with her son in the football facilities. Then-District Attorney Ray Gricar declined to file charges.

Another missed op-

portunity came in 2002, the grand jury said, when then-graduate assistant Mike McQueary told Paterno that he had witnessed Sandusky sodomizing a child in the team’s showers. McQueary later spoke to Penn State athletic director Tim Curley and vice president for business Gary Schultz. They are now accused of breaking the law by not going to police.

McQueary’s actions also have been scrutinized, with some suggesting he didn’t do enough after witnessing child sex-abuse.

McQueary told a friend from Penn State that he stopped the alleged assault and went to the police about it.

The friend made an email from McQueary available to The Associated Press on Tuesday anonymously.

In the email dated Nov. 8 from McQueary’s Penn State account, the former Nittany Lions quarterback wrote: “I did stop it, not physically ... but made sure it was stopped when I left that locker room... I did have discussions with police and with the official at the university in charge of police....no one can imagine my thoughts or wants to be in my shoes for those 30-45 seconds...trust me.”

Added McQueary: “Do with this what you want...but I am getting hammered for handling this the right way...or what I thought at the time was right...I had to make tough impacting quick decisions.”

Emails to McQueary from AP were not immediately answered.

The case apparently took on new urgency two years ago, when a woman complained to officials at her local school district that Sandusky had sexually assaulted her son. School district officials banned him from school grounds and contacted police.

School honors Schulze Piqua High School Senior Kendra Arnett and Fort Loramie High School Junior Sam Schulze have been named the Upper Valley Career Center Students of the Quarter for the first nine-week grading period.

gram instructors are asked to rate each nominee’s effort during the nine-week grading period.

Students stay out of financial ‘dog house’ FORT LORAMIE — Lori Albers’ sixth-grade math classes at Fort Loramie Elementary School learned to stay out of the financial “dog house” when local financial professionals visited their class recently. Volunteers lead the students in a competitive board game called FETCH!, which stand for Financial Education Teaches Children Healthy Habits. The FETCH! Game is set in a dog park, where student teams manage the finances of owning a pet.

With each turn, the teams use math skills and devise strategies to stay out of debt and put more money in their savings account, so they can afford the basics, like a leash, collar and a bone, for their fictional pet.

“FETCH! is a fun way to teach children the relationship between smart spending and saving for their future goals,” said coordinator Sandy Hoehne. “It’s built on a simple concept, yet requires students to make decisions that have consequences they can understand, just like in real life. The game teaches children that sometimes you must

delay buying what you want so that you can afford what you need later.”

The winning team for the first session was Team Lil’ Whane, comprising students Seth Gephart, Gabby Sanders, Ashley Brussel, Austin Siegel, Evan Berning and Jenna Thomas. The winning team for the second session was Team Purple Skins, comprising students Clay Eilerman, Erica May, Morgan Holscher, Ryan Holthaus and Caitlyn Meyer.

The Fort Loramie program was presented by district residents Peggy Drees from OSB Wealth Management, Sandy Hoehne from Osgood State Bank, and Randy Hoehne from Mutual Federal Savings Bank.

The morning program concluded with a pizza party lunch, sponsored

by The Ohio CPA Foundation, Osgood State Bank and Mutual Federal Savings Bank.

The Ohio CPA Foundation provides all classroom materials as part of a public service to teach students how to build a foundation for a healthy financial future.

Home health aides still needed takes just three weeks to complete the Upper Valley Career Center Home Health Aide Program (HHA), receive National Certification, and have an opportunity to link with possible employment opportunities with any one of the Advisory member Committee companies.

Mary Lough Pencil, president, Cornerstone Home Health & Hospice, Urbana, said, “we continue to hire and see the need for certified home health aides continuing for years to come.”

Home health aides are qualified to work for private home health agencies as well as with state and federally funded agencies as a Medicare Certified Home Health Aide; as a Personal PASSPORT Care Aide or Homemaker; as a PASSPORT Personal Care Consumer Directed Individual Provider; or as a Private Pay Aide. The next level of health care as provided by the State Tested Nursing Assis-

tant (STNA) is also the topic of discussion for the Upper Valley Career Center Advisory Committee. After several years of positive input from the committee members, the school began offering certification training for STNAs this past summer. Both the Home Health Aide and the STNA programs provide points of entry for students now studying in the school’s Practical Nursing program.

Paulus explains the benefit of confirming this is the right career path and the added bonus of income throughout their LPN course. “Many nurses have a sense of “calling” into the profession. Others aren’t so certain, so having the opportunity to work as a care giver at the level of the Home Health Aide or STNA can be very reassuring — especially when it confirms their commitment to continue.”

Data collected by the school’s Adult Basic and Literacy Education pro-

gram through participation in an Innovation Grant tracked STNA and Home Health Aide students career pathways through July of this year. Three Home Health Aides and one Upper Valley Career Center certified STNA have continued their education and are participating in the Upper Valley Career Center School of Practical Nursing. According to the wage data provided by the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services the potential annual income increased proportionately with each skills level, so those Home Health Aides who continue their education have the ability to double their income potential in less than two years.

Paulus encourages individuals to take the first step. “There are jobs available right now and all along this career pathway.” Pre-entrance requirements for the Home Health Aide program include completion

Midwest Electric pays members Midwest Electric is giving $1,340,164 in patronage capital payments to 7,300 current and former members. Eligible electric cooperative members will receive the refund either as a credit on their electric bill, mailed in late November, or as a separate check in December.

Patronage capital is the cooperative’s margins, or money left after all bills have been paid.

Midwest Electric uses these margins for capital investments, such as building or replacing power lines, transformers and other electric system investment.

After being used as working capital, the

money is returned to members as patronage capital refunds. It represents each co-op member’s ownership — or equity — in the cooperative. Patronage capital is allocated to members in proportion to the dollar amount of electricity used.

This month’s payment will be to those who used Midwest Electric service in 1995 and 1996. It represents a half-year of 1996 and the final halfyear of 1995, keeping the cooperative on a 15.5 year rotation.

About 4,655 currently active members will receive the payment, representing 44 percent of the current membership

and 72 percent of the dollars retired.

A typical residential member from 1995-96 who used an average of 1,300 kilowatt hours per month will receive a patronage capital refund of about $154. Current Midwest Electric members who are receiving a patronage payment can view their individual patronage capital account online at www.midwestrec.com.

“This patronage capital retirement demonstrates that you’re not just a customer … you are a member and partowner of your electric cooperative,” said Manager/CEO Rick Gerdeman. “You have eq-

many unfortunate people in the local community,” said Sarah Steenrod, the race organizer and progam coordinator.

Additionally, each guest who donates will receive a free scoop of frozen custard.

As an active supporter of local charities since opening in 2007, this food drive marks the second time Culver’s of Sidney has partnered with the the Alpha Community Center and Holy Angels Soup Kitchen.

“At Culver’s, we care about making a difference in the community, and one of best ways to do that is by helping

those going through difficult times,” said David Potts, owner of Culver’s of Sidney. “The Alpha Community Center and Holy Angels Soup Kitchen helps individuals and families in our area and our partnership helps to make the community stronger.”

Culver’s support of the Alpha Community Center and Holy Angels Soup Kitchen is part of a tradition of giving back to the community.

From Culver’s founders to each locally owned and operated restaurant, each franchise partner and team member understands the importance of serving those in need.

Stouder Center, Troy.

Paulus offers one last bit of encouragement for those who may be on the fence about their ability to begin training in 2011.

“Our advisory committee member companies are very supportive.

They frequently offer scholarships to qualifying participants and they like to hire our graduates,” said Paulus.

Paulus or Cathy Fridley are available to speak with individuals interested in pursuing this new career path.

PIQUA — Advisory Committee members serving the Upper Valley Career Center Home Health Aide program recently shared their need for certified home health aides.

Local employers Academy Health Services Inc., Blackstone Healthcare and Cornerstone Home Health & Hospice meet twice a year with representatives from the career center to discuss future plans for the school’s Home Health and STNA certification programs.

According to Annette Paulus, Upper Valley Career Center program coordinator, the Advisory Board members are adamant that jobs continue to be available for certified health care workers.

“If someone has an interest in a healthcare career and they possess a genuine interest in helping others, becoming a Home Health Aide can give them an almost immediate opportunity to begin,” said Paulus.

Paulus says that it

Nov. 16, 1911 At the regular meeting of city council last evening, the light committee recommended that a franchise be granted for the Standard Power and Equipment Co., and its successor, The Western Ohio Railway Co., to use the streets, alleys and public places in Sidney for a period of 10 years to furnish electric current to the city and its inhabitants for heating and power and also for light wherever and to whom electric current is furnished for power. The maximum rate of power to be fixed at five cents per KWH, with a sliding scale based upon the quantity and hours of use. After considerable discussion the committee was authorized to prepare an ordinance for presentation at the next meeting.

——— About 15 boys from the ages of 12 to 15 years were present at the M.E. church last evening to take an active part in the Boy Scout movement. W.K. Sterline has been appointed scoutmaster.

The Under-Tec Corporation makes different products that soak up gas. Its tollfree number is 888-4335913 and its website is www.under-tec.com. If you have no computer, surely a friend or relative does. You can see pictures of these products online.

Nov. 16, 1936 The new School Foundation Program and its problems were discussed

by Walton B. Bliss, secretary of the State Teachers Association, speaking at the first annual Teacher-Guest banquet at the high school last evening. The new program, the speaker said, commits the state to participate more fully in the school program, although it cannot prevent the closing of the schools, such as happened in Springfield last week. Two former members of the school board were honored at the meeting: Dr. J.F. Richeson, who served for 25 years, and Dr. A.W. Hobby, who served eight years.

——— A very special and novel program will be given during the story hour period at the library tomorrow morning, when Mrs. Melvin Schiff presents two of her well-loved puppet shows. The program will include, “Humpty

Dumpty and Alice,” and “White Rabbit and Alice.”

50 Years Nov. 16, 1961 JACKSON CENTERProposed expansion of the Burean-Holloway Knitting Mills, Inc., by construction of a 5,000square foot addition to its present plant on East Pike Street became known today.

The Burean-Holloway addition will be built on a tract recently acquired from James and Eula Brackney to the east of the present structure.

Construction work is expected to begin next spring.

——— Decision on whether Shelby County takes over the historic Lockington Miami and Erie canal locks, under terms of a proposal made by the state, may be determined this week.

It was learned today that Lester Beck, of the state division of canals and waterways, through whom the offer was received is expected to return to Sidney within a few days for an answer.

Commissioners have been contacted by several local historians and others interested in preservation of the locks.

They reportedly lean toward acceptance of the state proposal.

by Jack Van Fossen. A recent study suggested the chemical is linked to cancer.

——— A devastating fire struck a Sidney residence. The home of Joe Maguire at 506 S. Main.

Electrical problems are suspected as the cause.

Firefighters Stan Crosley and Dave Kreischer were both injured in fighting the fire but neither injury was disabling.

This can be helpful if later you are at a loss for words!)

Judging from the high volume of email and snail mail I receive, letter composition is something that is not always effectively taught in school. My booklet can provide a helpful assist for anyone who needs a quick and easy tutorial, and it is particularly helpful for parents to use as a way to easily teach their children how to write using proper etiquette. Keep it in a drawer and dip into it as needed.

AND ENDS

POMONA, Calif. (AP) — Police responded in force to a report of someone waving a gun in the back of a minivan near Chino, but the culprit turned out to be a child with a toy weapon.

The Los Angeles Times says a concerned motorist called authorities Friday afternoon and deputies pulled the vehicle over at about on

State Route 71, with a half dozen squad cars converging on the scene.

Sheriff's Sgt. R. Causey says the motorist thought it was a real gun, but deputies could tell it was a toy.

There were two adults and two children in the vehicle.

No arrests were made.
