Group shows muscle Occupy Wall Street raises nearly $300,000 NEW YORK (AP) — The Occupy Wall Street movement has close to $300,000, as well as storage space loaded with donated supplies in lower Manhattan. It stared down city officials to hang on to its headquarters, makeshift showed its muscle Saturday with a big Times Square demonstration and found legions of activists demonstrat-

ing in solidarity across the country and around the world.

Could this be the peak for loosely organized protesters, united less by a common cause than by revulsion to what they consider unbridled corporate greed? Or are they just getting started?

There are signs of confidence, but also signs of tension among the demonstrators

at Zuccotti Park, the epicenter of the movement that began a month ago Monday. They have trouble agreeing on things like whether someone can bring in a sleeping bag, and show little sign of uniting on any policy issues. Some protesters eventually want the movement to rally around a goal, while others insist that isn’t the point.

It’s all about nature 700 attend annual Forestry Field Day JACKSON CENTER — An estimated 700 people participated in Sunday’s Forestry Field Day here, sponsored by the Shelby County Soil and Water Conservation District.

“It sprinkled a bit as we were setting up for the event, but skies brightened and everyone had a lot of fun,” Lynda Adams, director, said.

“It was an excellent turnout.”

Held in the woods behind Jackson Center Community Park, the event was supported by the village of Jackson Center, Jackson Center FFA, B & B Ag-Vantages Inc,, Monsanto, John and Sharon Lenhart, Plastipak Packaging, Top of Ohio RC&D and J & L Power Equipment Inc. Participants could walk the woods with an Ohio Department of Natural Resources forester answering questions about timber and woodland management as well as tree identification and Meghan Bennett of Houston, Ohio’s reigning Lamb and Wool Queen, brought a lamb from the family’s farm for youngsters to pet.

“We’re moving fast, without a hierarchical structure and lots of gears turning,” said Justin Strekal, a college student and political organizer who traveled from Cleveland to New York to help. “… Egos are clashing, but this is participatory democracy in a little park.”

MERCER COUNTY — The Mercer County Sheriff’s office is continuing its investigation of a fatal traffic crash Saturday at the intersection of Ohio 119 and U.S. 127 in Granville Township.

The crash occurred shortly before 11:30 a.m. as a vehicle operated by Jinghao Xu, 50, of Hamilton, entered the intersection from a stop sign and was struck by an auto driven

by Hillary Hartings, 22, of 1489 Voskuhl Road, Maria Stein.

Injured were passengers in the Hastings auto, Conner, 6, and Keaton Bruns, 9, both of Minster, and Aubrey L. Bruns, 3, also of Minster, who was pronounced dead in the emergency room of Mercer Health in Coldwater. Hartings and Ku were both treated and released at Mercer Health.

Xu is being held in the Mercer County Detention facility on $250,000 bond and is expected to face charges of aggravated vehicular homicide.

Mercer County Sheriff Jeff Grey said authorities are checking Xu’s immigration status after he stated he was not a U.S. citizen. Deputies worked through an interpreter since Xu speaks Korean and very little English.

The crash, which closed Ohio 127 temporarily, remains under investigation by the sheriff’s department.

Squirrels Did you know that there are actually over about three hundred varieties of squirrels around the world? What a cool squirrel fact! Of course, in North America there are only about 10, but around the world, the species of the squirrels equal up to about three hundred different ones!

There are many different sizes of squirrels.

For example, there is the gray squirrel, which can be up to three times as large as the red squirrel but quite a great deal smaller than a fox squirrel. A fox squirrel is by far the largest of the squirrel family and even though the size of an adult gray squirrel is about 18 inches long and can weight about a pound, the fox squirrel still has the gray squirrel beat!

Generally all squirrels

Did You Know?

live in trees, basically in the holes of trunks or even in the treetop in abandon crow’s nests.

Squirrels will usually start looking for a nest when they start to mate, which is when they are about a year old. It usually takes about six weeks from the time that the squirrels mate until there are baby squirrels running around.

Baby squirrels are called kittens and kittens are born only twice a year.

Once in the spring time and once at the end of the summer; it is not unusual for the female squirrel to have about two to five kittens.

When it comes to a squirrel’s diet, the facts are they will eat acorns, wheat, fruit, bird’s eggs, mushrooms, berries, oak buds, corn, insects, moths, nesting birds and especially nuts of any kinds. Squirrels will typi-

What are squirrels most talented at doing?

Tree squirrels run fast and jump long distances on tiny branches high up in trees. Ground squirrels dig long tunnels very fast. Many squirrels chatter and use their tails to communicate a complex language. All squirrels have very sharp teeth and flexible front paws -- and are very smart about opening containers and solving other food-related challenges. Squirrels have sensitive hearing. Squirrels have big eyes that see very well -- but they are on the sides of their heads, so they don't see what's at the tip of their nose. That's one reason it can be dangerous to feed a squirrel -- it can't see your fingers and might accidentally bit you if you get too close.

Are squirrels friendly?

Tree squirrels — especially Gray Squirrels — are quite used to humans

Graphic Designer: Scarlett E. Smith

Where do you find Red Squirrels most often?

Coniferous forests. Red Squirrels feed on the seeds and cones of Pine trees, Fir trees and Spruce trees.

cally gather and save a lot of their food all year round but this is definitely true when it comes to the autumn time. When you see them collecting all their nuts just before winter it is because they are getting ready for winter and they want to make sure that they have enough food to last them.

After they have buried all of their food and when winter comes and goes, the squirrel will wake up out of hibernation and go look for the food they buried!

and many will come close to people hoping they will be fed. However, squirrels deserve our respectful distance. They have very sharp teeth and sharp claws and defend themselves by biting and scratching if they are startled. However, they are fun to observe. Think of it like this — people are HUGE to the little squirrels. If a HUGE animal tried to play with you...would you defend yourself? Of course! So treat them with gentle respect...and they can be wonderful "wild friends".

Do squirrels live in houses?

Squirrels build their own "houses" for summer use, and they live in cavities in large trees during cold winter months to keep them warm. They are mammals, so they need to protect themselves from both cold and hot weather just like people do.

However, did you mean, "do squirrels

Squirrels can generally live anywhere from ten to twelve years but after about six years, they are considered old squirrels.

Some of the most common ways that squirrels die is being attacked by their natural predators or they can also die from traffic. Many squirrels do not make it up to the ten year mark due to traffic and while it is not our fault most of the time, we definitely need to keep our eyes peeled for these amazing creatures.

live in people houses?" Yes, they sometimes do find a way to climb into an attic or empty room. They love being protected from natural enemies such as hawks and cats and even snakes. And they enjoy the snug warmth, too. Squirrels can be pretty noisy in an attic — so if you don't want squirrels in your attic, prevention is the best solution. Making sure that small holes are repaired with metal plates, and that scrap food is removed will encourage squirrels to go find their natural home space and natural food sources. Use metal whenever possible -- avoid plastic, PVC and wood in squirrel territory.

You might want to place pet food dishes, garbage cans and bird feeders carefully -- they look like a holiday dinner to a hungry squirrel! It's a lot easier than foraging for nuts and fruit, so they will visit these human diners every day once they are discovered.

Which are the most common tree squirrels found in America?

The Gray Squirrel. They often live in cities and close to humans -- and eat a wide variety of food from nuts, seeds and fruit to human trash including bread, meat and table scraps.

Why do squirrels have such long tails?

Tree squirrels, in particular, have long tails to help them balance as they run up and down and from tree to tree.

It's like holding a stick sideways when we balance on a beam. Squirrels also use their long fluffy tails as an "umbrella" — to shade them from hot sunlight, shield them from rain, warm them during cold weather, and as a flag to communicate with other squirrels.

How fast are squirrels?

Tree squirrels run and jump so fast that they have been clocked at 20 miles per hour. The average squirrel usually scampers at about half that speed. However — they don't do so well on streets. Squirrels have a habit of stopping when danger runs toward them — but not cars. When they use this natural behavior on streets, cars tend to run over them.

How long do squirrels live?

The average life span for a squirrel in the wild is 3-5 years. Their main predators are hawks, owls, cats, and predators of baby squirrels can include snakes, crows and other squirrels.

Play Hide and Seek with Squirrels Squirrels are clever animals that survive the long winter by storing nuts. Pit your wits against the squirrel in this fun squirrel activity that lets you play hide and seek with a resourceful rodent.

What You'll Need: • Peanuts still in the shell • Garden gloves Ever wonder how you'd do if you became a squirrel? Here's a way to find out.

Take 30 peanuts and bury them in piles of leaves, small mounds of dirt, near trees, or in sidewalk crevices.

Then, wait a week, put on your garden gloves, and try to find the peanuts you buried. Other squirrels may have gotten to your stash first — how good were your hiding places?

What do squirrels eat?

When it comes to squirrels, there are a lot of things that these little critters will eat that make gardeners hate them. Not only are squirrels one of the most hated creatures in the rodent family because of their diet but they are also one of the cutest looking rodents! Squirrels have been an annoyance to many gardeners for centuries and if you are interested in exactly what do squirrels eat,

that is what we are going to explore in this article!

Most squirrels are vegetarians.

There are a few exceptions like the flying squirrel. The flying squirrel will eat small birds, insects and definitely steal eggs from birds nest in order to make a meal. Generally speaking though, squirrels will mainly stick to things that are vegetarian related.

The main diet of squirrels is:

get going on that journey,” Felix said, standing a little too quickly on his injured foot. “I’ll be happy once we get there.”

“How’s the ankle doing?”

Hector asked.

“I’m fine,” Felix tapped his backpack. “Coronado and his men endured crazy stuff during their expedition. My biggest fear is running out of licorice before we get to Gallinas!”

A short time later, Hector stopped. He put one hand on his hip and pointed west with the other. “Hah! What’s that?” he barked.

Karol and Felix looked at the large orange-red glow over the approaching horizon. The color reminded Felix of his grandma’s very spicy salsa. Suddenly, he felt hungry.

“The sun is going down!”

Karol said. “Not good!”

“No. Look, just beyond those trees. That’s Highway 54.” Hector said proudly, maintaining his hero stance.

The three explorers quickly headed toward the highway with renewed enthusiasm. They only paused for a moment in front of a giant sign that read ENTRADA DE CIBOLA NATIONAL FOREST. “I hate to say it,” Karol said, “but we should start looking for a place to camp tonight.”

“She’s right,” Felix agreed.

“How about here?” Hector suggested a spot. There were a couple of large fallen trees to sit on and even some small

“Quit whining,” Hector said. “We’re making good time.”

“Why don’t you tell us more about the gold?” Karol suggested, stopping to rest on a large tree stump.

“Yeah, let’s hear it,” Felix agreed, carefully sitting on the ground.

“All I’ll tell you is that I think the gold came from a king, a long time ago,” Hector began.

“What king?” Karol jumped in.

“And where is it buried?”

Felix quickly asked.

“Whoa,” Hector said.

“Nobody said it’s buried.

And remember, the treasure is in the journey.”

“What in the world is that supposed to mean?” Felix snickered.

“That’s all I’m saying for now,” Hector answered mysteriously.

“Oh man, did anyone think to bring matches?”

Felix began to worry.

“I think there are some special waterproof matches in my camping pack,” Karol offered.

“Gracias,” Felix said, relieved. “OK, you two start a fire. I’ll go look for some rocks to put around the fire pit.”

Felix had been gone for only a few minutes when the most unusual smell caught his attention. It wafted through the air and made its way across the rocks and trees. It was not a smell you’d expect at the edge of a forest.

It smelled like … pizza!

“Hey, you guys, save some for me!” Felix yelled, limping towards his two friends, who were now roasting slices of pizza over the open fire.

“Felix, what is that bell you’ve been wearing around your neck?” Karol asked.

“Well, it’s kind of cursed.

At least that’s what my grandma thinks,” Felix began, as they all sat enjoying their warm, smoky pizza.

“She tells me some pretty crazy stories sometimes.”

“Let’s hear one!” Hector coaxed, licking melted cheese from his sleeve.

“I’m not sure if you’d be interested,” Felix said, suddenly embarrassed about his

family history.

“Come on, Felix, we really want to hear one,” Karol said sincerely.

“My great-greatgrandfather Eduardo fought bravely in the Mexican Revolution,” Felix began.

“Late one night, he fell asleep a little too close to a campfire. His weapon got hot and a bullet shot right into his chest. It probably would have killed him, but he just happened to be wearing this brass bell.” Felix took off the bell, letting each of them feel the dent in the side.

“OK, then,” Hector said.

“I think it’s time to move away from the fire.”

“So is it cursed, or lucky?”

Karol asked. All three considered her question, looking Answers from the color NIE page at each other’s faces glowing Publisher Scramble: amazing creatures in the firelight.

nitely corn on the cob that is dried and hung up for them. Squirrels are not picky eaters at all and they will pretty much consume anything that is in front of them as long as it tastes good, this is especially true when it comes to flower bulbs!

Now that we have explored exactly what a squirrel eats, let’s go ahead and explore why exactly gardeners hate these adorable creatures so much. Well, as you might know, squirrels love to dig and hide their extra food all over the place.

This is not just done just before the winter time; it is actually done all year round. So while the squirrels are digging, they are usually not only trying to hide their extra nuts the garden soil, but they are also digging up fresh bulbs that gardeners plant in the spring time. One of the favorite things on a squirrel’s menu is flower bulbs.

Something about the taste of a bulb is absolutely something that a squirrel can not resist and if they happen to dig one up while they are hiding their nuts in the soil, and then they will swap it out! This is one of the reasons why gardeners and squirrels simply do not get along at all. Gardeners will spend all of that time planting a whole lot of bulbs only to get half of the flowers that they planted due to squirrels digging up the rest!

Man makes film on massacre

Law banning bath salt drugs begins today

IN THIS Oct. 4 photo, Cory May, a veteran, sits on a pump jack at a storage facility in Zanesville. May recently completed a two-week, 80-hour shale exploration certification course developed by the private company Retrain America. When he graduated, he’d interviewed for three jobs and taken a position cementing wells for Halliburton that will pay $60,000 to $70,000 a year.

Colleges expand offerings amid natural gas boom ZANESVILLE (AP) — Shuttered businesses and boarded-up houses dot the streets of historic Zanesville, the struggling river city where Cory May is starting a life with his young wife.

Until recently, job prospects in his native eastern Ohio were grim — even for a hard-working Marine reservist willing to work hard or relocate. May’s mother works as a school janitor in Cambridge, his nearby hometown. His machinist dad is among the county’s 11 percent unemployed.

Most of his better situ-

ated friends are in the military or work at one of the area’s remaining factories.

“It’s either that or working minimum wage for the rest of your life, and let’s be honest, who really wants to do that?” said May, a sturdy 23year-old who’s done a tour each in Iraq and Afghanistan since he turned 18.

The natural gas industry has changed his prospects.

Girls seek protection from other girls MANSFIELD (AP) — Designed to protect teens from dating violence, a year-old Ohio law has been found to be more used by girls trying to stop bullying from other girls.

Before the law was enacted, only adults could seek protective orders.

Despite the intent of the law, central Ohio has seen more civil orders of protection from girls seeking respite from other girls, the Mansfield News Journal reported.

In Richland County, only one of nine requests for protective orders involved a girl against a boy, with the rest coming from girls against other girls.

of calls to the country’s poison centers rose dramatically from 303 in 2010 to more than 4,700 in the first seven months of this year. The American Medical Association has come out in support of national legislation to ban bath salts, and several states have implemented their own bans on bath salts and K2 or both.

Under Ohio’s new law, penalties for possession or trafficking of K2 or spice will be the same as those for marijuana — a minor misdemeanor for possession and a felony for trafficking in the vicinity of a school or juvenile. Possession and trafficking of bath salts would fall under the normal felony penalties for Schedule 1 controlled substances such as cocaine and amphetamines, Burke said.

Republican state Rep. Margaret Ann Ruhl, of Mount Vernon, said most regions of the state have reported trouble with either K2 or bath salts or both.

The problem was brought to her attention by school officials in her central Ohio community.

They said they were seeing a problem, but that “kids were saying the products were legal and didn’t see any harm in them,” said Ruhl, the bill’s joint sponsor.

“There’s a perception that these products are somehow safer than street drugs because they come in eye-catching packaging and are sold in gas stations, convenience stores and novelty shops,” said Eric Wandersleben, spokesman for the Ohio Department of Alcohol and Drug Addiction Services. “The reality is, these substances are dangerous and can have life-threatening consequences.”

CINCINNATI (AP) — Ohio retailers will no longer be able to sell synthetic recreational drugs marketed as bath salts and K2 or spice, and use and possession of the substances also will be banned when a new state law goes into effect today.

The legislation signed

by Gov. John Kasich in July adds synthetic marijuana known as K2 or spice and six synthetic derivatives of cathinone that have been found in bath salts to the list of Schedule 1 controlled substances. The products have been sold legally at convenience stores, tobacco shops and other businesses.

The K2 or spice contains organic leaves coated with chemicals that provide a marijuana-like high when smoked, and bath salts drugs are crystalized chemicals typically snorted or injected that provide a cocaine-like high, state Sen. Dave Burke, a joint sponsor of the legislation, said. The Marysville Republican, who is also a pharmacist, said the substances have been known to cause reactions including hallucinations, paranoia, severe agitation and seizures, and that bath salts reportedly have been linked to deaths in Ohio and elsewhere.

Making the products illegal is the only way to stop “the shadowy underworld of these designer drugs,” Burke said. more people As around the country have experimented with the synthetic drugs, more medical problems have been reported and more efforts have begun to ban the substances.

YOUNGSTOWN (AP) — An upcoming movie filmed in Ohio that depicts the massacre of 69 children by a right-wing extremist at a youth camp in Norway has unbridled the ire of Norwegians.

The film “Utoya Island” was directed and produced by Russianborn filmmaker Vitaliy Versace, who lives in Cleveland and frequently shoots in northeast Ohio.

The movie recreates the mass murder of children at a Labor Party youth camp on Utoya Island in Norway by a gunman dressed as a police officer.

The Vindicator newspaper reports that a trailer for the movie posted on YouTube has elicited threats by letter and email to Versace’s agent in Los Angeles from people in Norway and other countries.

Versace told the newspaper that Norwegian police have sent him a letter asking him to remove the teaser, but also noting he was breaking no laws.

“Norwegian officials are normally the first to defend the rights to freedom of expression, but in this case, they’re reacting on behalf of Norwegians directly involved in the terrorist attacks of July 22,” wrote Nina Berglund, editor of the online Views and News from Norway, explaining the calls to remove the trailer.

Critics claim Versace is insensitive for dramatizing the killings and say it’s too soon to be making a movie.

“It’s important to find a way to retell what happened. But seeing it (done in) this way is simply disgusting,” Utoya Island survivor Adrian Pracon told mediaite.com.

Versace told the newspaper that “it’s never too soon for a producer to make a film,” and he refuses to take down the trailer.

He said citizens in Norway have launched an online campaign against him and he has not told foreign journalists who have contacted him exactly where the film was made because of its notoriety.

66 die in flooding SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador (AP) — Authorities say at least 66 people have died in flooding and landslides provoked by six days of heavy rains in Central America. Evacuations are under way amid forecasts of more rain.

Salvadoran civil protection director Jorge Melendez says most of his country’s 24 dead were buried in their homes by landslides.

Melendez told a news conference Sunday that residents are being evacuated from the flanks of the San Salvador volcano, where hundreds died in landslides in 1982.

The Guatemalan president has declared a state of emergency for his country, where at least 23 have died, and Honduras has seen at least nine deaths and evacuated more than 1,000 people. Rains have started to ease in Nicaragua, where at least five have died.

Drone kills 3 Egyptians DERA ISMAIL KHAN, Pakistan (AP) — A recent U.S. missile strike in Pakistan’s tribal region killed three Egyptians linked to the Haqqani network, including one who played a key role in handling the militant group’s finances, Pakistani intelligence officials said Sunday.

The three men were killed Friday when a drone fired missiles at a car near Miran Shah, the main town in North Waziristan, said the officials, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk to the media. A fourth person was also killed but has not been identified.

U.S. intelligence believes the Haqqanis are the top threat to security in Afghanistan and that they enjoy the support of the Pakistani army.

3 charged PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Three people have been charged following the discovery of four malnourished mentally disabled adults chained to a boiler in a locked northeast Philadelphia basement room that was too small for an adult to stand up straight and also reeked of waste from the buckets they used to relieve themselves, police said Sunday.

Officers were investigating a report of squatters in a building Saturday when they found three men and a woman in a 15-by-15-foot room behind a steel door that was chained shut.

Goat fails drug test PUEBLO, Colo. (AP) — Colorado officials have disqualified the grand champion goat from this year's State Fair because they say it tested positive for an unapproved drug.

The Pueblo Chieftain reported Friday () that a second goat entered by another child from the same family also was disqualified for the same drug.

Susan Weinroth of Sedalia says the family got a letter from the attorney general’s office saying her family’s goats tested positive for a feed additive approved for swine but not goats.

She suspects the food may have been tampered with and says the family reported their suspicions to officials. She says the family will appeal.

Kings call for economic fairness at MLK memorial WASHINGTON (AP) — For many who helped dedicate the new Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial on Sunday, the towering granite monument is a stark reminder that the civil rights leader’s dream of social and economic justice has yet to be realized.

In many ways, the ceremony was a passing of the torch to a younger generation with speeches marked by fierce rhetoric over the nation’s economic disparities.

Thousands gathered at the memorial site, some as early as 5 a.m., to hear President Barack Obama, King’s children and other civil rights leaders. Speaker after speaker invoked King’s “I Have a Dream” speech from 1963 to challenge others to carry on his fight.

“Yes, my father had a dream. It was a dream, he said, that was deeply embedded in the American dream,” said King’s son Martin Luther King III. “The problem is the American dream of 50 years ago … has turned into a nightmare for millions” who have lost their jobs and homes.

The nation has “lost its soul,” he said, when it tolerates such vast economic disparities, teen bullying, and having more people of color in prison than in college.

His sister, the Rev. Bernice King, reminded the crowd that just before her father’s assassination in 1968, he was mobilizing a poor people’s campaign to occupy the nation’s capital until the economic system changed.

She said the postponement of an earlier dedication because of Hurricane Irene that was planned on Aug. 28, the 48th anniversary of her father’s “Dream” speech, may have been an act of God. “Perhaps the postponement was a divine interruption to remind us of a King that moved us beyond the dream of racial justice to the action and work of economic justice,” she said. “Perhaps God wanted us to move beyond the ‘dream’ into action.”

Other speakers included union leaders, the Rev. Jesse Jackson, and Andrew Young, the former Atlanta mayor and U.N. ambassador who was an aide to King, who urged the crowd to vote for a president who has their interests at heart.

Actress Cicely Tyson said her contemporaries are passing the fight on to a new generation. She passed the microphone to 12-year-old Amandla Stenberg. The girl recalled learning about the civil rights

PRESIDENT BARACK Obama, (center) his daughter Malia Obama (left) and Harry Johnson, President and CEO of the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Foundation, (to his right) look up at the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial, as King family members and the first family look on Sunday on the National Mall in Washington. From right are Marion Robinson, first lady Michelle Obama and Sasha Obama. movement in school and named four young girls killed in a 1963 church bombing in Birmingham, Ala. “As Dr. King said at their funeral, ‘They didn’t live long lives, but they lived meaningful lives,’” Amandla said. “I plan to live a meaningful life, too.”

Some looked to Obama to carry on King’s legacy.

Street vendors nearby sold framed photographs edited to depict King and the nation’s first black president conversing together in the Oval Office, along with a wide swath of buttons, posters and other souvenirs showing King and Obama.

U.S. Rep. John Lewis of Georgia said Obama’s election was “just a down payment” on King’s dream. “We’re not there yet,” he said.

About 1.5 million people are estimated to have visited the memorial’s 30-foot-tall statue of King and its granite walls where

14 of his quotations are carved in stone since it opened in August. The memorial is the first on the National Mall honoring a black leader.

The sculpture of King with his arms crossed appears to emerge from a stone extracted from a mountain. It was carved

by Chinese artist Lei Yixin. The design was inspired by a line from the “Dream” speech: “Out of the mountain of despair, a stone of hope.”

Obama, who was just 6 years old when King was assassinated, saluted the civil rights icon as a man who pushed the nation toward what it “ought” to be and who changed hearts and minds.

“He had faith in us,” Obama said. “And that is why he belongs on this Mall: Because he saw what we might become.”

“As tough as times may be, I know we will overcome,” Obama said. “I know there are better days ahead.”

Gas company questions cut-rate fuel DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — When its gasoline pumps started going dry in the United Arab Emirates’ poorer northern states earlier this year, Dubai’s oil company blamed mysterious service upgrades.

Few believed that at the time, and now the company is dropping its subtlety, triggering an uncharacteristically public spat over fuel pricing policies.

By letting its farther-flung stations run empty, the Emirates National Oil Co., or ENOC, was telegraphing a message: The Dubai government-owned firm was tired of driving itself deeper into the

red by shouldering money-losing state fuel subsidies that keep pump prices artificially low.

In an unusually strongly worded statement over the weekend, the company said that continuing to cover subsidies mandated by the UAE’s federal government “is clearly not sustainable or viable for the company.”

It was a rare public display of power politics in a country where grievances — particularly ones involving the many businesses controlled by the Emirates’ ruling sheiks — are typically resolved behind closed doors.

The rift highlights Dubai’s

determination to maintain its independence within the UAE federation despite a daunting debt bill, and it throws into question the generous subsidies the country uses to help buy political stability.

Regular gasoline sells for just 1.72 dirhams a liter in the UAE, or $1.77 a gallon. That’s a little more than half of what drivers pay in the U.S., where gas now averages $3.46 a gallon, and a fraction of what it costs Europeans to fill up.

“Providing cheap fuel to its population is what makes Dubai attractive as a trade hub,” said Christopher Davidson, a lecturer at Britain’s Durham University and an

OCCUPY barred from camping in Zuccotti Park, as the property owner and the city briefly threatened to do last week, the movement would continue, Strekal said. He said activists were working with legal experts to identify alternate sites where the risk of getting kicked out would be relatively low.

Wall Street protesters are intent on hanging on to the momentum they gained from Saturday’s worldwide demonstrations, which drew hundreds of thousands of people, mostly in the U.S. and Europe.

They’re filling a cavernous space a block from Wall Street with donated goods to help sustain their nearly month-long occupation of a private park nearby.

They’ve amassed mounds of blankets, pillows, sleeping bags, cans of food, medical and hygienic supplies — even oddities like a box of knitting wool and 20 pairs of swimming goggles (to shield protesters from pepper-spray attacks). Supporters are shipping about 300 boxes a day, Strekal said.

The space was donated by

expert on the UAE. “We’re reaching a point where Dubai can no longer manage to do that itself.”

The UAE as a whole is OPEC’s third-biggest oil producer, sitting atop 97.8 billion barrels of crude.

Like other Arab monarchies and sheikdoms lining the Persian Gulf, it has long lavished its oil wealth on government handouts, including cradle-to-grave health care, cheap utilities and generous housing assistance.

Those transfers of wealth have helped keep a lid on dissent and shield the UAE from the popular protests roiling much of the Arab world.

From Page 1 the United Federation of Teachers, which has offices in the building.

Close to $300,000 in cash also has been donated, through the movement’s website and by people who give money in person at the park, said Bill Dobbs, a press liaison for the movement. The movement has an account at Amalgamated Bank, which bills itself as “the only 100 percent union-owned bank in the United States.”

Strekal said the donated goods are being stored “for a long-term occupation.”

“We are unstoppable! Another world is possible!” Kara Segal and other volunteers chanted in the building lobby as they arrived to help unpack and sort items, preparing them to be rolled out to the park.

While on the streets, moments of madness occasionally erupt in the protest crowd — accompanied by whiffs of marijuana, grungy clothing and disarray — order prevails at the storage site.

It doubles as a sort of Occupy Wall Street central command post, with strategic

meetings that are separate from the “general assembly” free-for-alls in the park. One subject Sunday was data entry: protesters are working to get the names and addresses of donors into a databank.

The movement has become an issue in the Republican presidential primary race and beyond, with politicians from both parties under pressure to weigh in.

President Barack Obama referred to the protests at Sunday’s dedication of a monument for Martin Luther King Jr., saying the civil rights leader “would want us to challenge the excesses of Wall Street without demonizing those who work there.”

Many of the largest of Saturday’s protests were in Europe, where protesters involved in long-running demonstrations against austerity measures declared common cause with the Occupy Wall Street movement. In Rome, hundreds of rioters infiltrated a march by tens of thousands of demonstrators, causing what the mayor estimated was at least 1

million ($1.4 million) in damage to city property.

U.S. cities large and small were “occupied” over the weekend: Washington, D.C., Fairbanks, Alaska, Burlington, Vt., Rapid City, S.D., and Cheyenne, Wyo. were just a few. In Cincinnati, protesters moved their demonstration out of a park after hearing that a couple was getting their wedding photos taken there — but the bride and groom ended up seeking them out for pictures.

More than 70 New York protesters were arrested Saturday, more than 40 of them in Times Square. About 175 people were arrested in Chicago after they refused to leave a park where they were camped late Saturday, and there were about 100 arrests in Arizona — 53 in Tucson and 46 in Phoenix — after protesters refused police orders to disperse.

About two dozen people were arrested in Denver, and in Sacramento, Calif., anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan was among about 20 people arrested after failing to follow police orders to disperse.

Historical society adds old county jail to tour Hosts author for book signing this week The Shelby County Historical Society has added the old Shelby County jail to sites on its 2011 Ghost Tour Wednesday and Thursday.

Tour times are 7, 7:30 and 8 p.m. each night and tours begin at Courtview Center, 100 S. Main Ave. The jail is one of several stops during which ghostly stories will be told of actual, macabre events from Sidney’s historic past.

Participants will find the answers to these questions: Who was killed at the jail? Did the janitor ever get out of the tunnels under Bridgeview School? Who died on the Julia Lamb football field? When was the last time the bell rang at Central School?

From what building did the beer flow freely, while just across the street, a ladies’ temperance group met?

Tickets are $10 for adults, $5 for students 18 and under, and can be reserved by calling 498-1653.

Author to visit Dr. Albert Binkley Dickas, a native of Sidney and graduate of Holy Angels Catholic School, will be at the Ross Historical Center, 201 N. Main Ave., Thursday from 9 a.m. to noon to sign copies of his latest book, “The Eclectic Pen of William Binkley.”

Dickas lives in Virginia and is a contributing writer to the historical society’s monthly newsletter. He taught geophysics at the University of Wisconsin, founded the Environmental Analysis Center there, and was a professional petroleum geologist.

William Binkley was his grandfather. Binkley was editor of the Sidney Journal from 1869 to 1905. ”In my judgement, ‘The Eclectic Pen of William Binkley’ is the most important local historical document to be published in at least the last decade,” said Richard Wallace, president of the historical society. “Dr. Dickas does a

masterful job of capturing the essential qualities of one of Sidney’s most influential and inspiring leaders. William Binkley used the power of his pen to indelibly influence the direction and character of this community for over 35 years. He was at the forefront of the construction of the Monumental Building. the creation of the public library and the formation of a citywide fire protection system. This book is a must-read for any concern citizen.”

The book will be available to purchase at the Ross Center.

Legion auxiliary gets training DUBLIN — Four members of American Legion Auxiliary Unit No. 217 were at the Embassy Suites in Dublin in September to attend the

Everyone, throughout his life, goes through times of joy and sadness, happiness and depression, good times and bad. It just seems like there are a lot of stressful times for a lot of people now. Since the hospice philosophy is about honoring the dignity of people, being thankful for the good things, and living with hope and love, we will center our program around those themes.”

Combine ride alongs give a little perspective on the soybean crop year and I’ve The view heard everyfrom the comthing from midbine this year is May to mid-June very bright in for soybeans. some places; in The answer to others it is not why so late this so bright. I’ve year is pretty obbeen blessed vious, it wouldn’t with a few ride stop raining. alongs in the Ag While looking last week to get update out over the soya sense of what f a r m e r s Justin Petrosino beans from the thought about the year. combine I have noticed a This year has been a fair share of both whirlwind year for most marestail and giant ragfarmers but many are weed. Farmers with a thankful that harvest is good herbicide program are only seeing a few here.

During a combine ride marestail and a few along I typically first ask giant ragweeds. A “good” the general questions of program starts clean what company?, what with either tillage or a variety?, and especially strong burndown like this year what was the glyphosate + 2,4-D. Unplanting date? The an- fortunately while runswer to the last question ning late several farmers is the most relevant this dropped 2,4-D from the

burndown without replacing it with an effective product. These fields are pretty thick with marestail even if they included a preemergence with residual activity in the burndown. Giant ragweed is a similar story. Many fields have populations that are resistant to glyphosate and ALS inhibitors. In soybeans we are limited with residual herbicides for giant ragweed and have to rely on a few ALS inhibitors. At the moment a shift to a PPO inhibitor like Flexstar or Cobra with glyphosate in a postemergence application or switching to Liberty Link beans and using Ignite will help control ragweed after it emerges. Just remember to apply these herbicides

like a contact herbicide should be applied, even if glyphosate is in the mix.

Coarse droplets at 10 gallons per acre will not work; medium droplets at 15 to 20 gallons per acre will work. In the next 3 years we will see 2,4-D and dicamba resistant soybeans come to the market along with stacked Roundup Ready and Liberty Link traits.

This will help with giant but not ragweed marestail.

After the early season and weed management questions have been asked I typically ask what other practices the farmers tried this year.

The number of products marketed for soybeans these days is staggering.

Growth promoters, insecticides, fungicides, micro

nutrient packages, even microbial products for breaking down cornstalks are marketed to improve soybean yields.

One of the biggest questions in the combine is did they increase yield?

With the way the products are applied it can be hard to tell if the products had an impact on yield. Also it is hard to tell which product had an impact.

A single “check” pass in the field is not enough to evaluate a package.

Two to three check strips that are clearly marked with either GPS points or flags in the field will help determine if the package worked. If the yield monitor on the combine is properly calibrated, running the check strips and the strip

next to them as separate batches will give you an average yield per strip. If the monitor is not properly calibrated a weigh wagon and some extra time might be necessary.

Once you have the numbers if you need help sorting them out call your local extension office for advice.

This year has been a tough one for farmers, but with good prices and some timely rains we are all thankful for the crops we have. Nationally we are on track for the fourth largest corn crop in the United States.

After a year like this, that is something we can all be proud of.

More television event than traditional awards ceremony, the Scream Awards were presented in an amphitheater built on the Universal Studios backlot just for the occasion.

The Saturday night show was as much about

how the awards were presented as who got them, but for starters, the top honorees were Harry Potter, Darth Vader, Nicolas Cage, Pee Wee Herman and Robert Downey, Jr. Resembling a psychedelic circus, one side of the stage was a life-sized dollhouse populated by costumed characters, the other a staircase topped by a giant keyhole, and in the middle was a lake that lit up with fire.

For Wednesday, Oct. 19, 2011 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Where have all the flowers gone? Yesterday’s optimism seems to be a thing of the past.

Difficulties with partners and close friends are a bummer. Patience.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Don’t be too worried about something today.

Remember the saying: “Worry is like a rocking chair. It gives you something to do but gets you nowhere.”

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Your financial situation suddenly looks bleak. What happened?

Parties, vacations, sports and social diversions can be so costly. It was ever thus.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Someone older or more established might rain on your parade today. Don’t let this get you down, although it probably will. What does this person know?

By tomorrow, you won’t feel discouraged.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) It’s easy to feel cut off and lonely today.

But perhaps you are doing this to yourself?

Maybe you just need some downtime to recuperate and pull your act together. No biggie.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Someone older (and possibly female), in a group situation, might be critical of you today.

Great! You need this like a fish needs a bicycle. Be patient and gracious.

(It’s not personal.)

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Be careful in dealing with authority figures today, because they might be demanding or, worse yet, discouraging.

(Perhaps it’s better to ask for forgiveness than to ask for permission.)

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Travel plans suddenly look discouraging.

Obstacles seem to be insurmountable. But this is not the case, because tomorrow things look completely different.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) You might be disappointed in your fair

share of something. You expected more. But then, don’t you always expect more? (You are ever the optimist.)

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Tread carefully in conversations with partners and close friends today. People are quick to tell you why you cannot do something instead of encouraging you to go ahead. Be aware of this.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Unlike yesterday, today you can’t get any cooperation at all. People in power are downright grumpy. Keep your head down and focus on your own work.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Romance is in the toilet today. Fun plans seem to have gone sideways. Not to worry, because tomorrow is a completely different day. Your fun plans still might be saved!

BORN YOU TODAY You have strong opinions, and you don’t hesitate to speak out. You mean what you say, and you say what you mean.

You’re determined, independent and very dynamic. You’re a loyal and family friend, means a lot to you. You feel it’s your duty to expose that which is wrong or to reveal the truth. In the year ahead, you will learn something valuable.

Leaf pickup begins today Sidney street crews will begin the city’s annual leaf pickup program today, following trash sanitation routes.

It will require approximately one month to complete the first round of the leaf program. Residents are urged not to leave leaves over storm sewer catch basins.

After crews complete one pass through the city, additional rounds will be made until all leaves have been picked up.

For more information, residents may call the Service Center at 4988117.

Weekly yard waste (grass and brush) pickups will continue through Nov. 11. Begin-

ning in December and continuing through April, grass and brush will be collected only during the second full week of the month.

Residents are encouraged to have their grass and brush at the curb by 7 a.m. on Monday of those months as pickup will not necessarily occur on regular trash collection days.

All grass containers and brush bundles must have a yard waste tag attached. Tags may be purchased at the revenue collection office.

Weekly grass and brush pickups will resume in May. More information on the collection program is available at www.SidneyOH.com.

‘Real Steel,’ ‘Footloose’ duke it out for No. 1 LOS ANGELES (AP) — The robot boxers of “Real Steel” and the dancers of “Footloose” are in a tight fight for the box-office title.

The Hugh Jackman tale about machines in the boxing ring took in $16.3 million, which

would make it the No. 1 movie for the secondstraight weekend, according to studio estimates Sunday.

But “Real Steel” came in barely ahead of the remake “Footloose,” which opened with $16.1 million.

Financial problems: Driving Secretary reports fair accident? revenue down $30,000 Follow these tips Members of the Shelby County Agricultural Society (Fair Board) discussed how to deal with financial issues they are facing during a recent meeting.

Barb Heilers presented the board with September bills for $8,681.16, but those bills do not include $12,000 in other bills that, due to a lack of funding, remain unpaid.

President Tim Everett told the board that they may have to get a $20,000 revolving loan in order to meet expenses. Everett said that even with an increase in sponsorships and a reduction in the cost of electric bills, it had not been enough to keep the fair board operating in the black.

Everett said the decrease in attendance, season passes and lower attendance on special days at this year’s fair all contributed to the financial problems being faced by the board.

Increasing the cost of season passes and gate charges are something Everett said the board needs to consider taking action on to deal with the lack of funds. A reduction in free entertainment may also be necessary.

Since the meeting,

Board Secretary Jerry Schaffner talked to the Daily News about the fiproblems. nancial Schaffner said the heat during the week is what affected the finances. He said revenue from this year’s fair was down about $30,000 compared to last year and attendance was down by approximately 2,000 people.

“There probably isn’t going to be any improvements (to the fairgrounds)” for next year, Schaffner said. “We’re probably going to have to reduce the amount of free entertainment.”

“We owe it to the kids (Junior Fair) to have a fair,” Schaffner said. But he added, the fair board will have to stay within their means. He noted the fair board is in the discussion stage about how to deal with the financial problems.

In December, the board will set prices for the 2012 Shelby County Fair. Schaffner said electric, water, gas and sewer are cut back about as far as the board can go. Schaffner said the board needs to “add more electric” for the campers, but they don’t have the money.

Schaffner said the sponsorships are the only thing that kept the fair going this year.

“There .... isn’t going

to be any money to get through the year,” Schaffner said. “We’ve done about everything we can do. Right now, we’re .... in the stages” of discussing how to handle the situation.

Schaffner said that since the meeting, the board did find enough money to cover the bills that were due.

“We try not to get anything (assistance) from commissioners,” the Schaffner said. “They don’t have anything anyhow.” He said the commissioners do help with repairs that are needed at the fairgrounds.

“It is serious (the financial situation) and I don’t see it getting any better” without changes.

“There’s been people we’ve dealt with for years, we may have to change things,” Schaffner said, discussing contractors and others who provide services at the fair. He noted the board may have to look at prices more closely in working with contractors.

In other action, board member Ron Schmerge told those present that there is interest in building a new dairy and steer complex at the fairgrounds.

Plans for the building have been drawn and there have been pledges made to cover the cost

of the building.

Heilers reported the board did not try to purchase any of the buildings at Hardin Elementary School during their auction, due to the cost of trying to move the buildings.

Heilers said she did purchase four fire extinguishers for the fairgrounds.

Everett told the board that the fairgrounds will have three to five new picnic tables available for the 2012 fair.

Everett reported there are no extension agents in the OSU Extension office for Shelby County, but said he felt there would be a new 4H agent named in the near future.

Heilers said the Junior Fair Board annual meeting in December will be held even if no 4H agent is named by that time.

Schmerge thanked Tony Bornhorst and the Shelby County Pork Producers and their sponsors for making sure the new show arena was built and paid for before the beginning of this year’s fair.

The fair board will meet on Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. and Schaffner said the public is welcome to attend and share their ideas on dealing with the financial problems.

Sewer board approves engineer’s statement QUINCY — During the Quincy-DeGraff Joint Sewer Board’s September meeting, village engineer Jim Cox, employed by the board to complete and submit a Community Development Block grant application for demolition of the lagoons at the former wastewater treatment site, told the board, as an OPERS retiree, he cannot bill Logan County commissioners for work performed.

He informed the board he will be submitting an invoice in the amount of $2,000 to the villages for engineering work completed. Following discussion, the board approved payment of Cox’s invoice.

Plant operator Ken McAlexander reported there have been no violations reported at the WWTP facility the past two months and asked about removal of the old lagoon fence, and existing structures including the old lab building and lagoons.

McAlexander informed board members the joint project has guaranteed funding only until the end of the year and said Jim Cox needs answers and guidance on these issues before final work goes out to bid.

He also reported the

Gardner-Denver blower sent in for repairs was not under warranty and will cost $1,621.53. He also said the blower beside it has quit functioning, but is under warranty.

Following discussion, The board approved a motion to add a driveway and gate to the old lagoon drive as an alternate to McAlexander’s engineer-

place worn-out cells.

That might be the cause.

A third speculation is that the process comes from the body’s own immune system attacking the bladder.

You must see another doctor, a gynecologist or urologist who deals with IC. Treatments exist.

Amitriptyline, taken at night, can give you uninterrupted sleep without trips to the bathroom.

Atarax, an antihistamine, works for some.

Elmiron, an oral medicine, contributes to the repair of the bladder lining. Sometimes it’s used in conjunction with lidocaine or heparin instilled into the bladder.

Above all, contact the Interstitial Cystitis Asso-

ciation at its toll-free number, (800) 435-7422, or online at www.ichelp.org. The association will provide you with information on the latest treatments and will bring hope to you for control of a condition that disrupts your life.

DEAR MOM: You’re not out of step, and you are correct that the current arrangement is unfair to Luci. If your son should die tomorrow (heaven forbid), Patsy would be a merry widow with all his assets, and Luci would be left with fond memories and a baby to raise by herself.

Period.

Not knowing Beau, I can’t know his reasons for not divorcing the woman who left him and ensuring that Luci and the children are taken care of. But I am sure of this: His reasons are NOT solely that he thinks his wife should be the one to file.

Raising a child well does not guarantee he (or she) will turn out to be a carbon copy of his or her parent. So for your own sake, please stop personalizing this.

DEAR ABBY: I was out to lunch with my son, his new wife, “Taylor,”

25 Years Ago October 17, 1986 A train operated by the Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey Circus traveled through Sidney Monday afternoon en route to Indianapolis. The train has 42 cars and contained the whole circus including 19 elephants, 23 tigers, two camels, one llama, 31 horses and ponies, 10 dogs, and seven Russian wolfhounds.

——— J. Oliver Amos, chairman of the board of trustees of the Monumental Building, spoke at a recent meeting of the Sidney Gateway High Twelve Club.

One Nov. 4th there will be an 8-mill levy on the ballot for the repair, renovation and restoration of the Monumental Building. The Monumental Building is 115 years old and was originally built to honor the 309 veterans who lost their lives in the Civil War. The building cost $65,242.90 and was financed through a lottery.

It will cost $1,400,000 now to make the necessary changes for continued public usage.

——— Fairlawn rolled to an easy win over Anna Tuesday night, giving the Lady Jets a perfect 10-0 record in the Shelby County League and clinched an outright conference volleyball crown. The Lady Jets whipped the Lady Rockets 15-4, 15-6 behind Stacie Cox and Sara Stewart.

Am I being silly? Or should I let this go? — HIS ONLY MOM DEAR ONLY MOM: Let it go. Your son was probably calling Taylor’s mother “Mom” because he had been asked to do so. (”’Sonny,’ we’re family now. Please call me ‘Mom.”’) It would not, however, be confrontational to tell your son that hearing him do it was hard to swallow.

October 17, 1936 With $1,225 officially reported at the preliminary checkup last evening, the more that 200 workers in the Triangle Chest drive pushed forward their activities today in an effort to reach the halfway point in their drive to raise $5,000. Shortly after 8 o’clock last evening, a bomb bursting over the city indicated that the first $1,000 had been raised.

Hope was expressed by drive leaders that the $2,000 mark would be reached by this evening.

——— The Olympia Confectionary, on the east side of the square, has installed a new Do-Re-Mi automatic phonograph, the installation completed today. The machine has been placed at the rear of the room, and will be a delightful pleasure to the patrons with a selection of 12 records that can be played.

The 1961-62 season of the Book Club was opened Friday afternoon at eh home of Mrs. Jerome Wagner Sr. The new officers are Mrs. Wagner, president; Mrs. W.R. Anderson, vice president; Mrs. Samuel Jackson secretary; Mrs. Glenn Smalley treasurer. The program committee is composed of Mrs. John Kerrigan, Mrs. Charles Manchester, Mrs. Frederick McLean, and Mrs. Carl Wenstrup.

——— President Former Dwight D. Eisenhower celebrated his 71st birthday today by playing bridge with house guests at his farm.

Eisenhower, looking trim and it, planned a quiet day after attending a special “theater” performance staged by his three granddaughters and directed by his grandson Friday night.

BY TONY ARNOLD

Longtime coach Elmer Schlater calls it quits COLUMBUS — Call it the “Grand Finale.”

And consider the success Lehman’s Elmer Schlater had as the Cavalier golf coach, it was only fitting that his coaching career ended at Schlater the Division III state tournament.

The Cavaliers finished seventh out of 12 team at the state tournament Friday and Saturday on the Scarlet Course at Ohio State University, with Ben Thieman finished 13th as an individual to lead the Cavaliers.

“This was my final match,” Schlater said after his fifth trip to the state tournament.

“Age factors into it. I will be able to spend more time with my wife and in Florida.

“I have been very blessed at Lehman. All my kids and all my grandkids but two graduated from Lehman.

There are a lot of things to factor in, like driving and travel. It is time to let someone younger take over the program.”

Thieman, like all Lehman golfers, is appreciative of everything Schlater did for them as a coach.

“The story for this season is really coach Schlater,” Thieman said. “I was talking to him earlier this season about it. I asked him about his early years as a coach and he said they really didn’t get to be good until the Fridleys (Nate and Wil) came into the program.

“I know there have been other great golfers, like Peter Berlekamp. But coach Schlater stuck it out and had a lot more success the last 10 years. He is a great guy and a great coach who leads by example.”

Schlater remains humble despite taking Lehman to district for the 11th straight year this season.

He picked up his 1,000th win in 2010 and now has more than 1,100 wins. He finished his coaching career with exactly 200 wins in dual matches.

The Cavaliers have finished as high as fifth at the state tournament during his time as coach.

“We had another pretty good year,” Schlater said.

“That 200th win was pretty special.”

Lehman finished seventh with a 711 total, one shot behind Gilmour Gates Academy.

Columbus Wellington wonwith a 674 total.

“Seventh at state isn’t bad.

We could have finished a couple spots higher, but the kids played pretty well.”

Thieman was making his third straight trip to the state tournament.

He led Lehman with matching rounds of 84 for a 168.

Tyler Bergman tied for 24th with 87-88 for a 175, finishing his career with a 39 on the back nine Saturday.

John Copella shot 86-92 for 178, freshman Sam Dean had 96-94 for 190 and Mitchell Shroyer had 115-116 for 231.

“I really didn’t feel any pressure because of what I have done in golf,” Thieman said. “I know what I’m going to do, and where I’m going to play golf in college wasn’t going to be affected by what I did at state.

team because I knew it was the best possible thing you could do for your team,” said Barhorst.

Barhorst battled with a group of lead runners throughout the race as they took on the wind together before the Redskin frontrunner used a strong finishing kick to seal the deal.

“I won my junior high eighth grade year and my freshman year was real good.

Sophomore year wasn’t real good and last year I started coming back up. This year in my senior year I had to get it again, and it just means a lot to me,” said Barhorst.

Redskin junior Jacob Seigel gave Loramie a couple of lead runners by finishing third overall in 17:22.

Anna finished right behind Loramie with 77 points and was led by sophomore Adam Larger who was fourth in 17:33. Botkins was fifth with 112 and got a strong outing from sophomore Roger Miller who was fifth in 17:43.

ANNA — The Russia boys and the Fort Loramie girls returned home with County titles in high crossschool country action on a windy Saturday morning at Anna.

Ben Barhorst of Fort Loramie Roeth won the individual boys title and Allison Roeth was the top girl finisher.

Boys A pack of frontrunners loomed large for Russia as they Barhorst tallied just 39 points to grab the league crown. Jackson Center finished as the league runner-up with 58 points.

The Raiders had their top five runners among the first dozen overall. With their effort Russia placed two runners on the first team and three others on the second team for All-County selections.

Russia was led by sophomore Steven Stickel, who finished as the individual runner-up in 17:13. Stickel ran a gutsy race, moving to the front of the pack early.

Next up for the Raider pack came senior Colin Ball, sixth in 17:47. Russia had a couple of very solid efforts from freshmen Jordan Gariety and Alex Herron. Gariety was ninth in 17:55 and Herron crossed the line 10th in 18:00. Junior Brandon Barlage rounded out the scoring by finishing 12th in 18:02.

Bucks ‘run’ past Illini

BY JIM NAVEAU jnaveau@limanews.com

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. – Ohio State quarterback Braxton Miller’s sprained ankle was a concern all of last week, but it was his arm that got a rest when OSU beat Illinois 17-7 on Saturday.

Miller threw just four passes and his only completion went for a touchdown in a game certain to launch a thousand comparisons to the three-yards-and-a-cloud of dust Woody Hayes era at Ohio State.

Ohio State’s first 27 plays were running plays. Miller threw his first pass with 55 seconds left in the first half and put the ball in the air only once in the second half.

Dan Herron rushed for 114 yards and scored a touchdown in his first game back after being suspended for the first six games of the season. Jordan Hall gained 56 yards on 12 carries and Miller ran the ball 12 times for 34 yards.

So, what was going on?

“The game plan was to win and it didn’t really matter how we did it,” Ohio State coach Luke Fickell said.

Miller, who couldn’t remember playing a game before where he completed just one of his throws before, said, “You’ve got to do what you’ve got to do.”

He said he knew since Tuesday he would play and that his ankle was “about 95 percent” healthy. “I had a lot of tape and stuff on it,” he said.

Ohio State (4-3, 1-2 Big Ten) needed a win to keep its season from spiraling downward after losing its first two Big Ten games, including losSee LEHMAN/Page 18 ing a 21-point lead in the second half at Nebraska last

ILLINOIS DEFENSIVE back Michael Buchanan (99) tries to hold on to Ohio State running back Dan Herron (1) during the second half of an NCAA college football game Saturday in Champaign, Ill. Ohio State defeated Illinois 17-7.

Saturday night.

Illinois (6-1, 2-1 Big Ten) hadn’t been unbeaten this late in the season since 1951 and was trying to make a statement with a victory over Ohio State.

But the message the Illini sent wasn’t quite what they intended. The statement they made it that it is easier to succeed against teams like Arkansas State, South Dakota State and Indiana than it is against even a wounded Ohio State team.

Ohio State built a 17-0 lead

before Illinois got its only touchdown with 6:22 left in the game.

OSU gained only 228 yards, but its defense limited Illinois to 285 yards. And, maybe more importantly, the Buckeyes’ defense kept the Illini in bad field position most of the day.

Before Illinois late touchdown, its closest approach to Ohio State’s goal line was when it got to the Buckeyes’ 32-yard line in the first half.

Two second-half interceptions – the first by Bradley

Roby and the other by Travis Howard – frustrated Illinois quarterback Nathan Scheelhaase (20 of 34 for 169 yards, 1 TD, 2 INTs).

“We tackled well and we didn’t give up big plays,” Fickell said. “We talked a lot this week about the defense making some plays.”

Ohio State led 3-0 at halftime on 43-yard field goal by Drew Basil, but turned the game its way in the opening minute of the second half.

Sidney Daily News, Monday, October 17, 2011

COUNTY Russia placed their top five runners among the valuable top 14 slots that earn County recognition.

Junior Lauren Francis was the individual runner-up in 19:47; junior Becca Meyer was sixth in 20:30, sophomore Kirstin Voisard eighth in 20:43, senior Macy Monnin 12th in 21:17, and freshman Claudia Monnin 14th in 21:20.

Botkins (75) was third and paced by sophomore Shelbie Bailey, who finished seventh in 20:40.

Trojan senior Liz Knoop was 10th in 20:52.

Houston finished fourth overall with 91.

The Wildcats had the top overall finisher in Roeth who crossed the line in 19:10.

“It’s pretty cool to be able to finish off strong and do the best I can.

I’ve never done it before (win the league title) and it’s a pretty cool feeling,” said Roeth outside the Wildcat camp.

Roeth has been a frontrunner throughout her high school career. She finished as the league runnerup her sophomore year and finished fourth last year.

“I knew Lauren (Francis) and Meg (Westerheide) would try to draft off me with all the wind so my plan was to try to stay next to them and try to lose them when it wasn’t that bad. I pulled away from Lauren when the wind was strong and I

regular season, adding a 1-0 win over Miami East Saturday to their win over Anna on Thursday.

Those two teams have combined for 24 victories so far this season.

Lehman goes to 10-33 with the victory and will play Triad in tournament play Thursday at home.

The lone goal of the game was by Carly Harrod, off an assist from Jenna Kronenberger, at the 25th minute of the first period.

Grace Frantz had 10 saves for Lehman.

“Our defense played phenomenal,” said

Lehman coach Bill Ramey.

“Stephanie Karly McEldowney, Baird and Jordi Emrick really got the job done.”

Lehman outshot East 15-5 in the first half, but the Lady Vikings had eight shots on goal to five for Lehman in the second half.

LHS boys tie The Lehman boys are 4-8-4 after a 2-2 tie with West Milton on Saturday.

Both Lehman goals came from Matt Ulrich, one unassisted and the other on an assist by David Freytag.

Lehman led 2-1 when Milton tied it with 8:00 left to play on a goal by Talyn Roth, off an assist

by Jake Huffman.

Milton is 7-6-3.

LEHMAN “But I was trying hard. I think when I look back, I will be disappointed I didn’t play better at state my senior year, but I feel good that I made it to state three years in a row.”

And he feels like he got what he could out of his game.

“I tried really hard to get the ball in the hole,” he said. “I certainly wasn’t on top of my game.

“The Scarlet is the toughest course we play all year.

“When you add the wind in, with the precision that Scarlet demands, you just really have to battle out there.

You just have to work hard to get the ball in the hole.”

From Page 17 Thieman played with individual champion Andrew Bieber of Gates Mills Gilmour Academy, who shot matching 77s.

“That was the low round Saturday,” Thieman said. “He is a good putter and he just worked hard to get his ball in the hole.

“He is going to be a Division I golfer. I wish that could have been me, but at least I got to see it.”

And be part of Schlater’s “Grand Finale.”

“It is about the golfers,” Schlater said. “I have always been blessed to have great golfers.”

They would say the same about the coach.

Sidney Daily News,Monday, October 17, 2011

Wheldon dies in massive IndyCar crash LAS VEGAS (AP) — Dan Wheldon, who moved to the United States from his native England with hopes of winning the Indianapolis 500 and went on to twice prevail at his sport’s most famed race, died Sunday after a massive, fiery wreck at the Las Vegas Indy 300.

He was 33.

Wheldon, who won the Indy 500 for the second time this May, won 16 times in his IndyCar career and was the series champion in 2005. He was airlifted from the Las Vegas track at 1:19 p.m. local time Sunday and taken to a nearby hospital, becoming the first IndyCar driver to die after an on-track crash since rookie Paul Dana was killed in practice on the morning of race day at Homestead-Miami Speedway in 2006.

As word began to spread that his injuries were fatal, those at the track could not control their tears. Television cameras captured Ashley Judd, the wife of IndyCar champion Dario Franchitti, dabbing at her eyes shortly before the official word came.

The remainder of the race was canceled. Driv-

Dan Wheldon ers solemnly returned to the track for a five-lap tribute to Wheldon, almost all of them hiding their eyes behind dark sunglasses after being told their colleague was gone. As Roger Penske met with his team trackside and other drivers simply hugged those around them, IndyCar CEO Randy Bernard made the announcement of Wheldon’s death.

“Our thoughts and prayers are with his family today,” Bernard said.

When drivers returned to the track, Wheldon’s No. 77 was the only one on the towering scoreboard. Franchitti sobbed uncontrollably as he got back into his car for the

tribute laps. Over speakers at the track, the song “Danny Boy” blared, folby “Amazing lowed Grace” as hundreds of crew workers from each team stood solemnly.

“What can you say?

We’re going to miss him,” said Chip Ganassi, Wheldon’s former car owner.

“Everybody in IndyCar died a little today.”

The race was only minutes old when Wheldon, who started at the back of the 34-car field and was in position for a $5 million payday if he could have won the race, was one of 15 cars involved in a wreck that started when two cars touched tires.

Several cars burst into flames, and debris was all over the track, some of the impact so intense that workers needed to patch holes in the asphalt.

Video replays showed Wheldon’s car turning over as it went airborne and sailed into what’s called the “catch fence,” which sits over the SAFER barrier that’s designed to give a bit when cars make contact. Rescue workers were at Wheldon’s car quickly, some furiously waving for more help to get to the scene. Bernard said

Wheldon’s injuries were “unsurvivable.”

Wheldon’s first Indianapolis 500 victory was in 2005 and his win at the sport’s most famed race this year was one to particularly savor.

It came in perhaps the oddest of fashions, as he was the beneficiary of a huge gaffe by someone else.

Wheldon was in second place, far back of rookie J.R. Hildebrand approaching the final turn — when Hildebrand lost control and clipped the wall.

Wheldon zipped past, and the only lap he led all day at Indianapolis was the last one. He returned to the track the next morning for the traditional photo session with the winner, kissing the bricks as his 2-year-old son Sebastian sat on the asphalt alongside him, and wife, Susie, held their then-2month-old, Oliver.

Wheldon was almost resigned to finishing second at Indy for the third straight year, before misfortune struck Hildebrand.

“It’s obviously unfortunate, but that’s Indianapolis,” Wheldon said.

“That’s why it’s the greatest spectacle in racing. You never know what’s going to happen.”

BUCKS On the second play of the half, Roby picked off Scheelhaase’s pass for A.J. Jenkins at the Illinois 48-yard line and took it back to the Illini’s 12-yard line. On the next play, running behind big blocks by tight end Reid Fragel and fullback Zach Boren, Herron went 12 yards for a touchdown that made it 10-0.

Roby, who had said

Such was the case again Sunday.

Wheldon was well behind the first wave of cars that got into trouble on the fateful lap, and had no way to avoid the wrecks in front of him. There was no time to brake or steer out of trouble.

“I saw two cars touch each other up in front of me and then I tried to slow down, couldn’t slow down,” driver Paul Tracy said. “Then Dan’s car, from what I saw in the videos, came over my back wheel and over top of me. Just a horrendous accident.”

Even as a former series champion and one of the sport’s top names, Wheldon did not have the financial backing to secure a full-time ride for himself this season. He kept himself busy by working as a commentator for some races and testing prototype cars that the IndyCar series will be using in the future.

IndyCar will have new cars in 2012, much of the changes done with a nod for safety. It had been a passion of Wheldon’s in recent months, and he once quipped that he was a “test dummy” for the new cars.

From Page 17 earlier last week that Jenkins was “a product of the system” and “nothing special” despite leading the country in receiving yards, met up with the Illinois receiver again to set up Ohio State’s final score.

Roby delivered the hit that caused Jenkins to fumble at OSU’s 37-yard line in the first minute of the fourth quarter.

Three plays later, Miller connected with Stoneburner on a 17yard touchdown pass.

Roby said, “Oh, yeah, I caught grief (about his comments). But I was just thinking about my doing my job. You can’t think about all that stuff or you’ll get distracted from the game.”

Similarly, Ohio State’s defense did not appear

distracted by its collapse in the second half against Nebraska.

“That unfortunately happened last week. We learned from it and we didn’t want it to happen today,” defensive lineman John Simon said.

Illinois coach Ron Zook said his team expected Ohio State to run the ball, but didn’t do a very good job of stopping it.

“They have a pretty good offensive line, a pretty good running back and I think they were excited about having their No. 1 back. He did a great job and you can see why he’s one of the better backs in the Big Ten,” Zook said.

Ohio State is off this week before Wisconsin comes to Ohio Stadium for a night game Oct. 29.

Bengals hold on, win 27-17 CINCINNATI (AP) — With a game and its reputation on the line, the NFL’s top-ranked defense wasn’t going to let one get away in the closing minutes.

Especially not against a Colts team that has become stunningly adept at giving them away.

Cornerback Nate Clements blocked a late field goal try that would have tied the game, and Carlos Dunlap returned a fumble 35 yards for the clinching score Sunday, helping the Cincinnati Bengals hold on for a 2717 victory that kept Indianapolis winless.

“That was nerve-racking,” Bengals receiver A.J. Green said. “I’m glad we have a bye week now.

I need it for my heart.”

The Bengals (4-2) matched their victory total from last season and ended a seven-game losing streak against the Colts, who had never lost to Cincinnati with Peyton Manning at quarterback. It was the third week in a row that the Bengals broke a long losing streak against an opponent.

Now, they head into their bye week with their first three-game winning streak in two years.

“I feel we can be as good as we want to be,” Dunlap said. “We’ve got the guys in place to go as far as we want to go.”

The question for the Colts is how low they will go. Manning was on the sideline again Sunday, watching helplessly as the Colts fell to 0-6 for the fifth time in franchise history.

“Each game, we’re in it in the fourth quarter and something happens,” defensive back Jerraud Powers said.

“Something dramatic happens.”

Curtis Painter rallied Indianapolis from a 207 deficit in the second half, getting the Colts in range for Adam Vinatieri’s 52-yard field goal try to tie with 5:38 left. Clements came around the end of the line and swatted it away.

That dramatic play was quickly followed by another. After the Bengals missed a field goal, Pierre Garcon was stripped of the ball as he tried to get extra yards after a catch, with the ball flying directly to Dunlap nearby.

Raiders 24, Browns 17 OAKLAND, Calif.

(AP) — From lighting an eternal flame to honor late owner Al Davis to the play on the field, it was truly a special day for the Oakland Raiders.

Jacoby Ford returned a kickoff 101 yards and Kevin Boss caught a 35yard touchdown pass from punter Shane Lechler on a fake field goal to lead the Raiders to a 24-17 victory over the Cleveland Browns on Sunday in the first home game since the death of longtime owner Al Davis.

After a pregame video tribute and moment of silence for Davis, the Raiders started fast. They forced a three-and-out to start the game with safety Matt Giordano sacking McCoy with a blitz on third down. Oakland them methodically moved 88 yards in 15 plays, converting four third-down opportunities and scoring on McFadden's 4-yard run.
