Debate: Round 2 Obama takes the offense, says Romney just for rich BY STEVE PEOPLES The Associated Press HEMPSTEAD, N.Y. (AP) — An aggressive President Barack Obama ripped into Mitt Romney’s economic proposals in a town hall style debate Tuesday night, accusing his rival of favoring a “one-point plan” to help the rich at the expense of the middle class. The Republican protested the charge was way off the mark.

“The middle class has been crushed over the last four years,” Romney said in the opening moments of the 90-minute debate, the second of three between the two men. Obama strode onto the debate stage seeking a stronger showing than the listless performance in their initial encounter, which had sent shudders through his partisan supporters and helped fuel a rise in opinion polls by Romney.

The president was feistier from the outset, quickly challenging Romney on economics and energy policy, and accusing him of switching positions on coal production. The two men interrupted one another early and often, speaking over each other to the point that neither could be understood. “You’ll get your chance in a moment. See DEBATE/Page 5A

A five-year financial forecase was presented at Monday’s meeting of the Sidney City Schools Board of Education. Treasurer Mike Watkins explained funding is expected to remain flat throughout the course of the five years, although the forecast does anticipate the renewal of an existing 9.9-mill emergency operating levy — a renewal or replacement of a like amount. Likewise, the foundation formula will remain flat throughout the forecast as well. “At this point, I am forecasting that the Hold Harmless payments will continue to phase out as normally expected and will be completely gone by 2018. Hold harmless payments have been received by the district since 2006 in an effort by the state to temporarily replace revenue lost by the elimination of the tangible personal property tax.” On the expenditure side, he said personal services (salaries) are forecasted to remain level through the end of the current negotiated agreement which ends in 2015. The negotiated contract, which was approved in June 2011, spans a total of four years. All

staff members saw a nearly 6 percent salary and fringe benefit reduction across the board in the first year and a complete freeze on all steps in years two through four. This includes a 2.75 percent salary reduction in year one of the contract, followed by a freeze at the reduced rate in the remaining years of the contract. Additionally, staff members saw a significant increase in their insurance costs, rising from the current 9 percent out of pocket costs to 20 percent according to the new contract. Teachers also have two furlough, or unpaid, days in their work schedule. The contract with the SEA (Sidney Education Association) runs through July 31, 2015. A moderate increase is forecasted after that in anticipation of potential negotions of a new contract. Insurance premiums saw a .05 percent decrease instead of an increase as in prior years, which had a positive impact on the forecast this year. “Purchased services can be a ‘wild card’, he cautioned — “we see losses in this area due to open enrollment numbers (students leaving the district to attend other schools for exSee FORECAST/Page 3A

High court won’t block Marijuana-laced lollipops early voting in Ohio seized during traffic stop personnel and Ohioans living overseas. Their lawsuit cited a recent study saying nearly 105,000 people voted in the three days before the election in 2008, and they argued everyone should have the chance to vote on those days. They also said eliminating the opportunity for most Ohio residents to vote in person on those days, while giving military or overseas voters the chance to do so, leads to unequal treatment. Attorneys for the state said many laws already grant military personnel special voting accommodations, such as requirements for states to send absentee ballots to them 45 days before the election. And they argued local boards also need those final days to prepare for the election. On Oct. 5, a federal appeals court reinstated voting on the weekend and Monday before the election and returned discretion to set hours on those days to local boards of elections. Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted appealed that ruling to the Supreme Court last week. He said it opened up the chance for Ohio’s 88 county boards of elections to set different rules, while simultaneously ordering that all voters be treated the same.

ample) and this can be difficult to predict. The Jon Peterson Special Needs Scholarship is another item that has a significant impact in this area, and therefore moderate increases over the course of the forecast have been included.” It was explained that the Jon Peterson Special Needs Scholarship allows families to use the scholarship monies at Ohio Department of Education approved private providers that may include private schools, independent programming and non-public schools. Each scholarship is worth 90 percent of the student’s special education funding amount, with a cap of $20,000. The public school district is responsible for covering these costs; in this case, Sidney City Schools had an expenditure in the amount of $88,000 for these scholarships. “The last line of the forecast is most important one to look at; this shows the overall impact of our forecast through fiscal year 2017 with just over $1 million in carryover. We need to recognize that with all that we have done as far as cuts and reductions are concerned, the trends will still be in a declining manner and it is important to secure the existing financing through a levy renewal or replacement in order to remain fiscally sound.”

WAPAKONETA — Two men and one woman are facing felony drug charges after Ohio State Highway Patrol troopers seized marijuana-laced lollipops and cookies, crack cocaine and prescription pills worth an estimated $8,000 following a traffic stop in Auglaize County. Troopers stopped a rented 2012 Nissan Murano, with Georgia registration, for a speed violation on Interstate 75, southbound, near milepost 114, Sunday at 11:11 p.m. While speaking with the driver, troopers detected an odor of raw marijuana coming from the vehicle. A probable-cause search revealed the marijuanalaced lollipops and cookies, 29 grams of crack cocaine, a variety of prescription pills and marijuana in the vehicle.

COLUMBUS (AP) — The Supreme Court on Tuesday cleared the way for voters in the battleground state of Ohio to cast ballots on the three days before Election Day, giving Democrats and President Barack Obama’s campaign a victory three weeks before the election. The court refused a request by the state’s Republican elections chief and attorney general to get involved in a battle over early voting. Ohio is among 34 states, plus the District of Columbia, where people can vote early without giving any reason. About 30 percent of the swing state’s total vote — or roughly 1.7 million ballots — came in before Election Day in 2008. Crucial to Obama’s win that year was early voting in Ohio, North Carolina and Florida. Obama won Ohio four years ago, but Republican rival Mitt Romney is making a strong play for it this year. No GOP candidate has won the White House without Ohio in his column. Obama’s campaign and Ohio Democrats had sued state officials over changes in state law that took away the three days of voting for most people but made exceptions for military

NATION/WORLD TODAY IN HISTORY BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Today is Wednesday, Oct. 17, the 291st day of 2012. There are 75 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Oct. 17, 1777, British forces under Gen. John Burgoyne surrendered to American troops in Saratoga, N.Y., in a turning point of the Revolutionary War. On this date: ■ In 1610, French King Louis XIII, age nine, was crowned at Reims, five months after the assassination of his father, Henry IV. ■ In 1711, Jupiter Hammon, the first black poet to have his work published in America, was born on Long Island, N.Y., into a lifetime of slavery. ■ In 1807, Britain declared it would continue to reclaim British-born sailors from American ships and ports regardless of whether they held U.S. citizenship. ■ In 1912, Pope John Paul I was born Albino Luciani at Forno di Canale, Italy. ■ In 1931, mobster Al Capone was convicted of income tax evasion. (Sentenced to 11 years in prison, Capone was released in 1939.) ■ In 1933, Albert Einstein arrived in the United States as a refugee from Nazi Germany. ■ In 1941, the U.S. destroyer Kearny was damaged by a German torpedo off the coast of Iceland; 11 people died. ■ In 1961, French police Algerians attacked protesting a curfew in Paris. (The resulting death toll varies widely, with some estimates of up to 200.) ■ In 1973, Arab oil-producing nations announced they would begin cutting back oil exports to Western nations and Japan; the result was a total embargo that lasted until March 1974. ■ In 1987, first lady Nancy Reagan underwent a modified radical mastectomy at Bethesda Naval Hospital in Maryland. ■ In 1989, an earthquake measuring 7.1 on the Richter scale struck northern California, killing 63 people and causing $6 billion worth of damage. ■ In 1992, Japanese exchange student Yoshi Hattori was fatally shot by Rodney Peairs in Baton Rouge, La., after Hattori and his American host mistakenly knocked on Peairs’ door while looking for a Halloween party. (Peairs was acquitted of manslaughter, but in a civil trial was ordered to pay more than $650,000 to Hattori’s family.)

OUT OF THE BLUE

Seizure of cocaine benefits zoo THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) — A major cocaine seizure in Europe has turned out to be good news for the animals at Rotterdam’s zoo. The drugs were hidden among boxes of bananas, and the fruit was later donated to the monkeys and other creatures at the Blijdorp zoo. Dutch prosecutors said Friday more than eight tons of cocaine was hidden among the bananas on a ship from Ecuador. The drugs were seized Monday in the Belgian port of Antwerp, while the bananas were allowed to continue on to Rotterdam — the shipment’s final destination. Dutch police arrested a Belgian truck driver and four Dutch men on Tuesday.

Clinton takes Benghazi responsibility; GOP unmoved BY MATTHEW LEE Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton’s pre-election bid to shoulder blame over the deadly terror attack in Libya failed to silence GOP criticism that President Barack Obama is not protecting U.S. diplomats overseas. Her written statement was sure to reemerge as a prominent issue in Tuesday’s second debate between Obama and GOP challenger Mitt Romney, and could have long-term ramifications given the persistent speculation that Clinton might run for president in four years’ time or stay in public life. And it prompted the Obama campaign to say the president joined Clinton in accepting responsibility. “Every time an American dies abroad, everybody takes responsibility, from the top down,” said Stephanie Cutter, Obama’s deputy campaign manager. Asked in an interview whether that included Obama, she said: “Absolutely. … He’s the president of the United States.” In her statement, Clinton accepted responsibility for the safety of the State De-

partment’s staff and diplomatic missions. It was quickly brushed aside by leading Republicans. By becoming the first top administration official to assume blame for the attack last month on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, she sought to take the heat off Obama for the worst debacle at a U.S. embassy or consulate overseas in more than a decade. Four Americans, including the U.S. ambassador to Libya, were killed in the Benghazi attack. But her message left several lingering questions unanswered, such as whether the attack on the 11th anniversary of 9/11 occurred because of intelligence failures and why administration officials insisted for days afterward that the violence stemmed from protests against an American-made video ridiculing Islam. “I take responsibility,” Clinton said, reiterating comments she made in a television interview late Monday. “I’m in charge of the State Department’s 60,000-plus people all over the world (at) 275 posts.” Clinton’s remarks may have been intentionally vague. Neither in her interviews or her statement does she spell out what exactly she assumes responsibility

for, a tactic that may have been employed to avoid culpability for specific failings or tasks strictly outside her control. State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said Clinton “was extremely clear what she takes responsibility for, which is the operation of this department, all of the men and women here.” But that assessment offered nothing definitive about intelligence that may have been used to make security decisions before the attack or the administration’s initial accounting of the incident as the byproduct of angry protests. The administration since has referred to a wellcoordinated terrorist attack. The intelligence may have come from the CIA or other agencies beyond Clinton’s reach; the post-attack messaging likely would have been coordinated by the administration as a whole — especially after Romney attacked an independent statement made by the U.S. Embassy in Cairo on the day of the Libya attack. The Benghazi attack has turned deeply political even within the State Department, with Clinton turning message management over to one of her most trusted aides, Philippe Reines.

Social Security benefits upped 1.7%

Praise, skepticism as Cuba eases travel rules

WASHINGTON (AP) — More than 56 million Americans on Social Security will get raises averaging $19 a month come January, one of the smallest hikes since automatic adjustments for inflation were adopted in 1975, the government announced Tuesday. Much of the 1.7 percent increase in benefits could get wiped out by higher Medicare premiums, which are deducted from Social Security payments. At the same time, about 10 million working people who make more than $110,100 will be hit with a tax increase next year because more of their wages will be subjected to Social Security taxes. The cost-of-living adjustment, or COLA, on payments is tied to a government measure of inflation released Tuesday. It confirms that inflation has been relatively low over the past year, despite the recent surge in gasoline prices. Social Security recipients received a 3.6 percent increase in benefits this year after getting none the previous two years. “The annual COLA is critically important to the financial security of the (56) million Americans receiving Social Security benefits today,” said Nancy LeaMond, AARP’s executive vice president. “Amid rising costs for food, utilities and health care and continued economic uncertainty, the COLA helps millions of older Americans maintain their standard of living, keeping many out of poverty.”

HAVANA (AP) — For the first time since the height of the Cold War more than half a century ago, Cuba is giving its people the freedom to leave the country without government permission, scrapping the detested exit visa that kept many from traveling outside the communist nation for even a few days. The announcement Tuesday came as blockbuster news on the island, where citizens were ecstatic at the prospect of being able to leave for a vacation — or even forever — with only a passport and a visa from the country of their destination. “Wow, how great!” said Mercedes Delgado, a 73-year-old retiree. “Citizens’ rights are being restored. … Let’s hope this is a breakthrough to keep returning the rights that they have taken away from us.” The decree still allows Cuban authorities the ability to deny travel by many Cubans for reasons of defense and “national security,” suggesting that dissidents may continue to face restrictions. So will doctors, scientists, athletes, members of the military and others considered key contributors, as well as those who face criminal charges. An end to the hated exit visa had been promised since last year by President Raul Castro as part of his five-year reform plan. Analysts called it the latest and biggest step in a gradual relaxation of restrictions on things like opening private small businesses, owning cell phones, staying in

A WOMAN shows her passport and that of her son to reporters as she leaves an immigration office in Havana, Cuba, Tuesday. The Cuban government announced Tuesday that it will no longer require islanders to apply for an exit visa, eliminating a much-loathed bureaucratic procedure that has been a major impediment for many seeking to travel overseas for more than a half-century. tourist hotels and buying and selling homes and cars. “It’s an important step forward in human rights, the ability to travel outside of your country without the government’s permission,” said Philip Peters, a longtime Cuba analyst at the Virginia-based Lexington Institute think tank. “It eliminates a horrendous and offensive bureaucratic obstacle to travel.” Starting Jan. 14, Cubans

DEBATE I’m still speaking,” the former Massachusetts governor tried to cut off Obama at one point. One heated exchange early in the debate focused on competing claims about whether energy production is increasing or slowing. Obama accused Romney of misrepresenting what has happened — a theme he made time and again. Romney strode across the stage to confront Obama face to face, just feet from the audience. The two argued forcefully at close quarters before the debate moved on. Both men used the opening moments of the encounter to pledge a better economic future to a young man who asked the first question, a member of a pre-selected audience of 82 uncommitted voters. But the president’s determination to show a more aggressive side quickly showed.

will no longer have to apply for the costly “tarjeta blanca,” or “white card,” ending a restriction in place since 1961, the height of the Cold War. The measure also extends to 24 months the amount of time Cubans can remain abroad, and they can request an extension when that runs out. Currently, Cubans lose residency and their rights to property, social security, free health care and free education after 11 months overseas.

From Page 1 Rebutting his rival’s claim to a five-point plan to create 12 million jobs, Obama said, “Gov. Romney says he’s got a fivepoint plan. Gov. Romney doesn’t have a five-point plan. He has a one-point plan. And that plan is to make sure that folks at the top play by a different set of rules.” “That’s been his philosophy in the private sector,” Obama said of his rival. “That’s been his philosophy as governor. That’s been his philosophy as a presidential candidate. You can make a lot of money and pay lower tax rates than somebody who makes a lot less.” “You can ship jobs overseas and get tax breaks for it. You can invest in a country, bankrupt it, lay off the workers, strip away their pensions and you still make money. That’s exactly the philosophy that we’ve seen in place for the last decade,” the

president said in a scorching summation. Unable to respond at length because of the debate’s rules, Romney said the accusations were “way off the mark.” Both men had rehearsed extensively for the encounter, a turnabout for Obama. “I had a bad night,” the president conceded, days after he and Romney shared a stage for the first time, in Denver. His aides made it known he didn’t intend to be as deferential to his challenger this time, and the presidential party decamped for a resort in Williamsburg, Va., for rehearsals that consumed the better part of three days. Romney rehearsed in Massachusetts and again after arriving on Long Island on debate day, with less to make up for. “The first debate was huge and we’ve seen our numbers

move all across the country,” his wife, Ann, said before joining her husband in New York. In a campaign filled with controversy, even the evening’s ground rules sparked one. Candy Crowley of CNN, the moderator, said she expected to be following up at times on questions from the audience. A formal memorandum drafted by the two campaigns said her role would be more limited, but she and the evening’s sponsor, the Commission on Presidential Debates said they weren’t party to it. The questions were from about undecided voters inside the hall in a deeply Democratic state. But the audience that mattered most watched on television and was counted in the tens of millions. Crucially important: viewers in the nine battlegrounds where the race is likely to be settled.

Two French visitors spent a week in Sidney recently learning about life in the United States â&#x20AC;&#x201C; specifically Shelby County. Herve and Sandrine Bureau are siblings from Orlean, France, roughly an hour south of Paris. They visited Gregg and Sara Mitchell, of Sidney. Their connection to Sidney started 50 years ago when their greatgrandmother rented rooms to Greggâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parents, who were in France with the U.S. Army. Gregg was born there. The families reconnected when Gregg and his wife, Sara, toured France in 1993. Carrying a photo from 1963, they rang the bell on the gate of the home; Sandrine answered the bell. The house was still in the family. Gregg and his father, Donald Mitchell, of Illinois, returned to France to visit the Bureaus in 2005.

Barack Obama is running a campaign, and frankly a political party, that reminds me of Santa Claus. Instead of Christmas, though, it is “what can I give you this election?” As we got older, we found out about Santa’s gifts. They were paid for by our hard-working parents’ paychecks. Well, guess where Obama’s gifts are coming from? The only problem is he doesn’t have elves at a workshop, he has tax payers all over the country who cannot afford to continue to provide for his programs. Santa is a myth, just like Obama’s economic recovery. Obama has said he will reduce $4 trillion off of our debt in the next four years.

How? He can take all the wealth from our top taxpayers and it won’t even pay the interest, nor will it cover the $6 trillion he added in his first three years. But most importantly, don’t forget that this is the same guy that voted three times in Illinois to allow babies to die who actually survived a botched abortion. At least the mythical Santa gave hope to all children. Finally, don’t be discouraged by the media. The recent Washington Post poll showing Romney down 10 percentage points in Ohio only used 160 people (what a joke). They want you to think it is over. This is a real attempt at voter disenfranchisement. Please vote for conservatives and get real change. Daniel New 413 Monterey Drive

Why it matters: Analysis of the auto bailout bankruptcy and also said the government should back their warranties. He would “responsibly sell” the GM shares but has given no time frame. ————— Why it matters: GM and Chrysler are major employers, with most of their operations in the Midwest, including Ohio, a pivotal presidential state. Without the bailout, it’s likely the companies would have been forced into liquidation. Their factories, ofbuildings and fice patents would have been sold at auction and their workers would have lost their jobs. Now, three years after the bailout, both companies are profitable and selling more cars. GM has made almost $14 billion since leaving bankruptcy protection in July 2009. Chrysler has made $440 million since exiting bankruptcy a month before GM. But the automaker is still a private company, and it did not

Business expo all about networking NEW BREMEN — The Southwestern Auglaize County Chamber of Commerce is one of several local chambers collaborating to bring businesses together for a networking event. The “Business to Business Expo” will be held at the Galleria in Celina on Nov. 14. Chambers of Commerce in Celina, Fort Recovery, St. Henry, St. Marys, Rockford and SW Auglaize County have invited their members to participate for free. Nonchamber member businesses will pay a fee to participate in the networking event. There is a nominal charge for table/chair rental and for boxed lunches for all participants. “We did this event for the first time last year with the St. Marys and Celina-Mercer County Chambers of Commerce as an expansion of previous networking events put on by the CelinaMercer County Chamber,” said Scott Frey,

executive director of the Southwestern Auglaize Chamber. “With over 70 participating businesses last year, it was a big success. This year, we’ve made significant changes based on feedback from last year’s event.” The event has been shortened and is more focused on pure networking. “Instead of trying to draw the public in this year, we’re only inviting businesses to participate in order to emphasize purely business-related programming and networking,” said Frey. “We’re bringing in over 240 eighth-grade students from schools in Mercer and Auglaize Counties in an effort to help them learn what types of businesses are in the area. We believe it’s important for students to begin thinking about their career options before they enter high school where they choose classes to fulfill their career plans.”

Frey said that students will hear a presentation from local McDonald’s franchise owner Jeff Monfort on small business, networking and community before they participate in a “speed networking” activity. “We’ve never brought students in for something like this, and we’re excited,” said Frey. “The businesses benefit from meeting potential future employees and patrons. And, students certainly benefit from this type of outreach by the business community.” During lunch, the businesses will participate in panel discussions relating to customer service, interviewing skills. Following a business-to-business speed networking session, the closing presentation, “Ignite by Connecting” will be presented by Melissa Smalley. Businesses who wish to participate can register by contacting the Celina-Mercer County Chamber of Commerce at (419) 586-2219, by sending an email to info@celinamercer.com Dr. Philip W. Valentine has moved Valentine Vi- or by visiting www.celinamercer.com. sion, his optometry office, to 739 Spruce Ave.

report numbers for the second half of 2009. Both companies also are hiring when many employers aren’t. GM has added roughly 2,000 U.S. workers since leaving bankruptcy and now employs 79,000 in the U.S. Chrysler has added almost 12,000 workers and now has about 44,000 in the U.S. Since the bailout started in early 2008, under President George W. Bush, the number of jobs in U.S. auto and parts manufacturing has grown by

156,000 to 780,700, according to government statistics. It’s progress for an industry whose workforce is still far below its peak of more than 1.3 million jobs in 2000. Here’s the bottom line on the federal money: In exchange for a $12.5 billion bailout of Chrysler and its financial arm, the government got $7.1 billion in debt and a 9.9 percent equity stake in Chrysler. Chrysler has repaid the loans and parent company Fiat

bought the government stock. The government got back $11.2 billion, but won’t get any more. At GM, the government is $27 billion in the hole on a $49.5 billion bailout. Although taxpayers own 26.5 percent of GM stock, the shares are trading for less than half the $53 price needed for the government to recoup all its money.

Kroger tweaks format NEW YORK (AP) — Kroger is forecasting stronger growth in the years ahead, as the nation’s biggest traditional supermarket operator adjusts the format of its stores to fend off competitors and keep up with changing shopping habits. The Cincinnati-based company, which operates its namesake stores as well as Food 4 Less, Fred Meyer, Dillon’s and other chains, says the growth will be driven through expansion into new and existing markets, as well as improvement in its core business. Over the long term, Kroger Co. now expects earnings per share to grow 8 percent to 11 percent, up from the previous forecast of 6 percent to 8 percent. The company stood by its sales and earnings guidance for the current fiscal year. As competitors such

as Target Corp. and Walmart Stores Inc. have expanded their grocery aisles, Kroger has responded by investing more into its Marketplace stores, which have a bigger footprint than its typical supermarkets. Last month, for example, Kroger said it would start selling clothes for the first time at a Kroger Marketplace store in Ohio. McMullen, Rodney the company’s president and chief operating officer, noted at an investor conference in New York that the company’s idea of a “combination store” has gotten bigger and better over the years. “It keeps evolving to something different,” he said, noting that the Marketplace store in coming years won’t resemble the stores today either. To hang onto customers amid intense competition, Kroger is

also working to improve the shopping experience and differentiate itself from the pack. For example, the company has cut down on checkout wait times and has a loyalty program that offers customers discounts based on past purchases. In select locations, it also has “cheese masters,” or associates who wear red jackets and offer customers expertise on cheese selections. The Cincinnati-based company says it will boost capital spending and approved a $500 million share buyback program. Its shares rose $1.07, or 4.6 percent to $24.50 in afternoon trading after rising as high as $24.84 earlier, its highest level since the summer of 2011. Kroger operates more than 2,400 supermarkets in 31 states. It has about 70 Marketplace stores.

The issue: The government bailout of General Motors and Chrysler is one of the most polarizing issues of the presidential campaign. Many Americans wonder why $62 billion in tax dollars went to keeping the two automakers afloat in 2008 and 2009. There’s little doubt the bailout saved the automakers and huge numbers of jobs. But there’s also little chance the government will get all its money back. Taxpayers are out about $1 billion on the Chrysler bailout. GM stock is selling for less than half the price needed for the government to recover all of its nearly $50 billion investment. ————— Where they stand: Barack President Obama often boasts about the bailout’s success, saying the decision

saved about 1 million jobs at automakers, parts companies and other businesses tied to the industry. That estimate is backed by a 2010 study by the Center for Automotive Research, an industry think tank. Obama doesn’t want to sell the government’s remaining 500 million GM shares at a huge loss, but also says he’s not interested in being a longterm investor or running the company. Republican Mitt Romney has argued that GM and Chrysler should have been sent into bankruptcy protection without government money to keep the companies running. Instead, he said private loans should have paid for the bankruptcies. But because of the financial crisis and because both companies were bleeding cash, there was no private capital available at the time. Romney advocated government-guaranteed private loans for both companies after

N i n e t e e n - y e a r- o l d Mike Lucas was charged with felonious assault on Monday following the incident early Sunday morning. The redshirt freshman offensive lineman from Chicago has a hearing set for Oct. 25 in Athens County Municipal Court. A judge will decide whether there’s probable cause to refer the case for prosecution in common pleas court. Team spokesman Tom Symonds says Lucas has been suspended pending the investigation.

Michael Bennett loaned a piece of the wrecked Pentagon wall for display. A Memorial Room was decorated with post-its, each with the name of one of the people who died in the attacks. “Writing all the names of those killed on that dreadful day on post-its and placing on the wall was a great idea,” Phlipot said. “The funny thing is that we couldn’t even afford to use post-it notes. Carleen Pettit and her family cut squares out of scrap paper and hand wrote every name.” In addition to the exhibit, the project included several special events.

Oct. 17, 1912 The drug store of F.B. Weiler and the general store of Louis Finkenbine at Anna were burglarized sometime last night. At the Weiler store about $30 and some cigars were taken. At Finkinbine’s a lot of cigars, tobacco, stamps and some change were carried away. As soon as the burglary was discovered word was sent to St. Mary’s for the Hinton bloodhounds. The dogs took up the trail and followed the scent to the C. H & D railroad and then down the tracks to Swanders. There they turned West and were lost. ––––– The oil well on the Mather’s farm south of the city is now down 1,250 feet with good prospects for oil.

then washed and reapplied. The sheet is replaced about every two weeks. Freezing the keloid, cryosurgery, is another way to deal with keloids. The doctor freezes the keloid, then lets it thaw and repeats the procedure two more times. The process is done on a monthly basis until the keloid has shrunk. Radiation after surgical excision is another way to remove keloids. Use of a laser in combination with cortisone injections has its proponents. Pressure earrings called Zimmer splints can compact the keloid to minimize it. The splints look like ordinary earrings. There is no lack of procedures to deal with keloids. The problem is finding the right one for the individual. Let the plastic surgeon or dermatologist suggest the best one for you.

DEAR DRS. DONOHUE AND ROACH: Please tell me the name of the blood test that detects ovarian cancer. My best friend died of it. Another friend said she wouldn’t have died if she had had the blood test. — R.K. ANSWER: A blood test for the early diagnosis of ovarian cancer doesn’t exist. I think your friend was talking about the test called CA-125. It’s not a reliable test for the diagnosis of this cancer. It gives too many false results. It is used, however, to monitor the effectiveness of ovarian cancer treatment. Ultrasound pictures of the ovary taken with the ultrasound camera located in the vagina are helpful in arriving at a diagnosis. The unfortunate thing about ovarian cancer is that it is silent in its early stages, when it can be successfully treated.

Oct. 17, 1937 City council at its regular meeting last night passed over Mayor Laughlin’s veto the ordinance regulating the connection and use of the city sewer system by parties living outside the corporate limits of the city. The ordinance permits these parties to connect to the city system on the payment of $1 per month. In vetoing the measure, the Mayor explained he did not feel it was fair to the taxpayers living within the corporate limits of the city. At the meeting Councilman Dillman suggested that the old canal bed west of the water works plant would be a good location for parking of automobiles by employees of the various plants in the vicinity. ––––– All Europe seems to be preparing for war was the observation made by Harold I.

Nessie enthusiasts were undoubtedly disappointed that the three day Sonar sweep of the murky loch which ended Sunday turned up no bumps, humps heads or tails. Organizer Adrian Shine said he could not deliver tangible results that would verify the monster’s existence but there is enough proof, due to reliable sightings, that he will continue the search. ––––– LAGUNA BEACH Calif. — John Wayne’s widow has written a book which she describes the Duke as “superhuman” but stubborn. Pilar Wayne wrote that she had an abortion after becoming pregnant during a 1950s affair with Wayne. She said she wanted to avoid damaging his reputation while he was divorcing his second wife. The National Enquirer paid Mrs. Wayne $50,000 to publish excerpts of “John Wayne, My Life With The Duke,” and is sponsoring a 20 city promotional tour for her. Mrs. Wayne described Wayne as a “superhuman being” and “the epitome of a man”, but says he could be stubborn, sexist, self-centered and irresponsible with money. ––––– These news items from past issues of the Sidney Daily News are compiled by the Shelby County Historical Society (498-1653) as a public service to the community.

Local teams go to 5-set games in tournament Five-set decisions are usually rare in the volleyball sectional tournament, but that wasn’t the case as three local teams went the distance Tuesday night, with only one coming away with a win. Fairlawn nearly pulled off the upset in Division IV action at Piqua, rallying back to force Southeastern into a fifth set, but the Jets could not complete the upset, falling to the Trojans 25-21, 25-18, 1825, 20-25, 15-9. “I’m really proud of our effort tonight, but we just came up a little short,” said Fairlawn coach Danielle Cathcart, whose team ends the season at 10-13. “We finished the season on a strong note and really started to compete the final few weeks of the season.” Olivia Cummings led the way for the Jets with 21 kills and 10 digs while Kelsey Oates had 16 kills, Abby Stemen had 25 assists and seven digs, Haley Slonkosky 19 digs, Kara Short six kills and Allison Watkins 13 assists and 12 digs. Minster/Fort Recovery In another five-set decision, Minster won the first and third sets and had the lead in both the fourth and fifth sets, but could not hold on as Fort Recovery rallied for a 23-25, 25-21, 15-25, 25-22, 15-12 win in Division IV sectional action at Coldwater.

After the Buckeyes hung on for a 52-49 win over Indiana, last Saturday -- which was the most points allowed by an OSU defense since 1994 — Meyer said he planned to become more involved with the defense. That involvement began the next day when he appeared in the defensive meetings to review Saturday’s game against IU. He told the defense he was disappointed with how they’d played, but just seeing the head coach, who had concentrated on the offense until then, sent a message, cornerback Travis Howard said. Meyer’s message was not complicated. “Eliminate the big play,” he said. “I met with the entire defensive team and the defensive staff. Instead of just making noise and whining, we have to put a plan together and that’s to eliminate big plays. “It’s been absurd how many big plays we’ve given up,” Meyer said. Meyer’s message of change was delivered calmly. “I’m not a big believer in just screaming and yelling and throwing Gatorade bottles against the wall. Sometimes you have to do that. However, you fix what the problem is.” The first test of Ohio State’s ability to cut down on

Hyde thrives in OSU’s new offense BY JIM NAVEAU Civitas Media jnaveau@limanews.com COLUMBUS – Ask most people what an Urban Meyer running back looks like and they’d probably think of smaller backs with sprinters speed, like he had at Florida with Percy Harvin and Jeff Demps. Even Ohio State’s current No. 1 running back Carlos Hyde thought that when he was growing up in Naples, Fla. So, with that image in mind he signed up to play for Ohio State, where he thought a 235pound running back was a better fit. Funny how that worked out. Meyer is at OSU and Hyde has fit into his offense very well. Hyde’s career-best 156 yards rushing in a 52-49 win over Indiana last Saturday was his second consecutive 100-yard game this season. After missing two games with a sprained knee ligament, he has emerged as a running threat to take some heat off quarterback Braxton Miller. “He’s a load, he’s a load. He gives us all 235 pounds,” Ohio State running backs coach Stan Drayton said. “I think people underestimate his speed at times. When he gets into the mindset and rhythm of anticipating where the runs and seams are going to be he can become a really effective back and a thorn in people’s side.” Hyde rushed for more than 100 yards twice last season but was seldom seen after Dan Herron returned from an NCAA suspension. In the first two games after Herron came back, big plays by the opposition will come against Purdue on Saturday. Meyer said his presence in the defensive meeting room did not signal a lack of trust in his assistant coaches. “I think my job is to sup-

port our staff, support our players. Calling defenses, I’ll give my ideas but it would be a mistake for me to come in (and call plays). We have very good coaches, very good coaches,” he said. Co-defensive coordinator

Hyde got three carries for eight yards. His frustration boiled over when he went on Twitter and tweeted that if Ohio State didn’t want him maybe he would have to go somewhere else. “I think he was under the impression he got a raw deal last year,” said Drayton, who was OSU’s receivers coach a year ago. “He was somewhat selfish in that respect. Just like any athlete, you get this high impression of yourself. At the same time you want that individual to have confidence in his skill level. It’s a double-edged sword and he is falling on the right side of the sword now.” Hyde deflected the credit to the offensive line after the Indiana game. “When they go, we go. And we were going pretty good today,” he said. Hyde is not the first big back Meyer has used. Ohio State fans probably remember DeShawn Wynn, who was Florida’s top running back in the 2006 national championship game. He was 5-11 and weighed 238 pounds. OSU rushed for 353 yards against Indiana and had 371 yards on the ground in a 63-38 win over Nebraska two weeks ago. “It’s weird. With Coach Meyer, everyone thought we’d be throwing the ball everywhere but I would say we probably have one of the best rushing attacks in the country,” wide receiver Jake Stoneburner said after the win over Indiana. “With Carlos and Rod (Smith) coming along pretty well, and then with Braxton probably being the best runner in the country, I’d say people have a lot to worry about with our rushing attack.” Luke Fickell has taken some heat from fans and on sports talk shows for Ohio State’s defensive struggles. He says it’s part of the game when you’re a coach. “If you could put more pressure on me that I put on my-

self, I don’t know if you could do that. The outside pressures – I don’t feel them,” he said. Fickell also emphasized not allowing big plays. “Don’t whine, don’t complain, don’t make excuses,” he said. “We know it’s about big plays, and if we can limit big plays, we’ll be in a lot better situation.” OSU made one personnel change on defense last week when it moved starting fullback Zach Boren to inside linebacker. Meyer called that move “temporarily permanent” and hinted another change could be coming after freshman defensive end Noah Spence played well at Indiana. “The thing you have to ask yourself is that Nathan Williams and Noah Spence play the same position so let’s have a conversation about that and we are. How to get them both on the field at the same time is what the conversation is about,” he said. Despite being known for his high-scoring offenses, Meyer says the best teams emphasize defense. “When you get to where the air is rare, the real elite teams, at some point you got to play some real good defense,” he said. Notes: WILLIAMS EXPECTED BACK: Williams, who missed last week’s game at Indiana with a concussion, is expected to play this Saturday. Running back Jordan Hall is doubtful against Purdue. “He’s jogging but he’s not healing real well,” Meyer said. See OSU/Page 16A

BY DAVE ROSS With Marion Local’s expected loss to Coldwater last Friday, Fort Loramie ascended to the top spot in region 24 of Division VI with two weeks to play and Ada right behind. While that current top duo could meet in the 2012 playoffs, they will definitely hook up in week four the next two seasons as Loramie will host Mike Fell’s Bulldogs in the schedule spot formerly occupied by Troy Christian, which has taken a hiatus from varsity competition. Mike is the brother of former Sidney and current Elyria mentor Kevin Fell. The 2013 game is in Fort Loramie. Ada took a pair of lopsided wins from Loramie in 2007 and 2008 by scores of 61-36 and 38-0. That initial offensive barrage was led by current Miami Redhawk QB Zac Dysert, now a four year starter and fifth year senior in Oxford who has thrown for over 10,000 yards during a career that has five games remaining. Matt Burgbacher takes his Redskins to Ridgeway to meet Ridgemont on Friday. With a 5-3 record the Golden Gophers have solid computer point value, especially since one of their wins is over Division II Toledo Woodward. Ridgemont has the odd-

EXTRA

POINTS

est single season resume’ I’ve ever seen. They’ve beaten five teams that have not won a game recognized by the OHSAA (Riverside did win a nonsanctioned contest). Their three losses have been by an average of 47 points. Friday’s margin should be in that vicinity or higher. Loramie will beat both Ridgemont and Upper Scioto Valley (0-8) which should yield enough points to finish in the top four and host an opening round playoff game on Nov. 2. Seeds five through eight play on the road that weekend. Other contenders remaining opponents: No. 2 Ada-Delphos Jefferson (62) and LCC (8-0), No. 3 Marion Local-Anna (4-4) and New Bremen (2-6), No. 4 Bradford- Mississinawa (0-8) and Twin Valley South (3-5), No. 4 Minster-Versailles (5-3) and Delphos SJ (5-3), No.6 St. Henry-Fort Recovery (3-5) and Versailles (5-3), No. 7 WaynesfieldPatrick Henry (6-2) and Dayton Christian (8-0), No. 8 TriCounty NorthNational Trail (6-2) and Ansonia (1-7), No. 9 Dayton Jefferson-Fairfield Christian (6-2) and Dayton Belmont (3-5), No. 10 Southeastern- Triad (7-1) and Greenview (4-4), No. 11 Lehman- Spencerville (6-2) and bye (was Troy Christian).

Lehman has filled week six 2013 with Dayton Jefferson (at Piqua) which could be renewed in 2014. This was the Troy Christian slot on the Lehman schedule. The Cavaliers 2013 slate includes 10 Fridays and no Saturdays. Region 20 We’ll confine this Division V sector’s analysis to the two current area outsiders looking to get into the top eight. Both face tall tasks. No. 10 Anna needs to beat Marion Local (6-2) and Parkway (0-8), and then get some help. No. 11 Versailles should make it with wins over Minster (6-2) and St. Henry (5-3). Whoever finishes eighth will visit unbeaten Coldwater on Nov. 3 to open the playoffs. Celina is back When Celina visited Sidney for an August scrimmage, longtime assistant coach Jay Imwalle told me that the Bulldogs should have a winning season. After I saw the scrimmage and their QB, I told him they should set their sights higher. Though they don’t reside in the same division, Friday’s Celina/Elida matchup will vault one of those 6-2 squads toward the playoffs. Not a record When Sidney’s Kaleb Martin scored on a 97 yard kickoff return last Friday against VandaliaButler, some thought it

might be a school record. However, it wasn’t even close to the existing record that is protected by the rulebook. Back in 1957 Bill Bynum returned a kickoff 105 yards for a TD against Piqua. A kickoff return of 100 or more yards has not been possible since 1970 when the automatic touchback rule was introduced. Bill’s record is safe and is ranked third in Ohio history. Martin’s 97 yard effort ties him for 36th on the all-time OHSAA list, and it has been submitted to the state office for website record book inclusion. Sidney’s Jack Foy had a 96 yarder against Beavercreek in 2008 which is also on the list. OHSAA surprise The news broke late last week that longtime OHSAA assistant commissioner Hank Zaborniak resigned his position which included oversight of both football and officiating. With the football playoffs on the horizon, the timing of this raises many questions. Zaborniak was an advocate of playoff games at Sidney Memorial Stadium and was always complementary of the facility and its operation. With the likely installation of synthetic turf in 2013, SMS should be back in the playoff mix a year from now after not hosting since 2010.

Dustin Lorenzo, though, gave Sidney insurance as he was fouled in the box and converted a penalty kick with 4:45 to play for the final margin. "That was a huge goal," said Sidney coach Eric Harlamert, "Edgewood was gaining momentum and Dustin's goal just deflated them." Sidney, now 9-6-2 on the season, faces No. 3 seed Wayne on the road Thursday at 7.

Haslam spoke at length with Holmgren in the 2 months since he agreed to purchase the Browns. They met Sunday to work out the logistics of the transition. “Mike was brought into do a certain role and I don’t think he wanted a different role,” Haslam said.

Hale settles in to new role BY RACHEL LLOYD rlloyd@sdnccg.com VERSAILLES — The village of Versailles recently welcomed a new village administrator to town, but he is no stranger to the area. Rodd Hale graduated from Tri-Village High School, and so did his wife, Brenda. “Even though we moved around, we came back to have a family and so forth,” he said. “Darke County’s our home.” Hale worked in the newspaper business for about 25 years, and that job took him to Wisconsin, Michigan, even a brief stint at the Chicago Tribune. He spent about 15 years with Brown Publishing Co., which had him as corporate circulation director from 1989 to 1997, then as publisher in Jackson, before heading to take over the publisher position at the Daily Advocate in Greenville from 1999 to 2003. After that, Hale decided to change course in life. “I got into government administration,” Hale said. He served as court administrator and as a bailiff under Judge Michael McClurg in Darke County Probate Court for four years, until the judge retired at the end of 2010. “I could have stayed with the court,” Hale said, “but the safety service director job became available.” So Hale became Greenville’s safety service director, which he says is, in a statutory city like Greenville,

Local campaign wins national award A communication campaign to reduce stormwater pollution has garnered the Miami Conservancy District (MCD) the National Association of Flood and Stormwater Management Agencies (NAFSMA) first place Excellence in Communication Award. MCD partnered with numerous agencies to raise awareness of water quality issues in the region. The campaign, called “People Prevent Pollution,” emphasized easyto-use ideas around the house to reduce water pollution. • Use low phosphorus fertilizer and test your soil. • Mulch/seed bare soil to hold soil in place. • Collect rainwater to use later. • Store and dispose of hazardous materials – like paints and cleaners – properly. Taking these simple steps is important because stormwater runoff picks up pollutants before flowing directly into our rivers and streams without being treated first. “MCD created an impressive and comprehensive campaign with a focused message: Clean Water, Healthy Life,” says Susan Gilson, NAFSMA Executive Director. In addition to the public campaign, MCD staff trained about 400 stormwater managers and maintenance staff in nearly 50 communities, showing them how daily activities on the job can prevent water pollution. “The training helped our workers — both as individuals and as part of an agencywide effort — to take simple steps to help reduce stormwater pollution at our highway garage facility as well as on construction sites,” says Dick Wagar, special projects coordinator for the Miami County Engineer’s Office.

HOROSCOPE

SNUFFY SMITH

BY FRANCES DRAKE For Thursday, Oct. 18, 2012 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You have the gusto and energy to discuss or argue practically any topic today, especially politics, religion or anything that is “way out there.” You sound like an expert! TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) You might get involved in a lively debate about shared property, taxes, debt or anything you own jointly with others. If this is the case, you will defend your turf — no question. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Others are unusually aggressive in discussions with you today. Don’t think you can get away with anything, because you can’t. (You’ll see.) CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You’re gung-ho to accomplish as much as possible at work today. This is why you won’t hesitate to delegate and issue orders to others. Build that bridge! Move that mountain! LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) This is a playful day, and it’s also a very flirtatious day, in fact, aggressively so. You feel saucy and prankish! This is also a strong day for you if you play sports. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) You’re ready to move furniture around or do whatever is necessary to make changes at home. You want to improve the place, and you’ve got the energy to do so. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) You’ll be unusually convincing if you have to sell, promote, teach, act or market anything today, because you’re highly opinionated and not afraid to express your views. Look out, world! SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) You’re very determined when it comes to issues regarding earning money or developing moneymaking ideas. You might be equally as determined when it comes to spending money as well! SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Today the Moon is in your sign, lined up with Mars and Jupiter. This is why you are intellectually energetic and so enthusiastic. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Research of any kind will go extremely well today. Go after whatever you need to learn about or discover, because you likely will find it! AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) All group meetings and gatherings will be quite successful today, especially those related to sports and physical activities. Rally your troops, and they will support you! PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) You can make an excellent impression on authority figures today, because they see you as proactive and confident. And today, you are! Go do that voodoo that you do so well. YOU BORN TODAY You often are involved in the drama in your own life or the lives of those around you. Many of you are leaders, and many of you find fame and fortune. Above all, you like to have fun with others. In turn, people feel inspired by you. You are very direct and forthright. Your year ahead is beautifully social and beneficial for all relationships. Birthdate of: Zac Efron, actor; Martina Navratilova, tennis player; Thomas Hearns, boxer.

CAUTION Whether posting or responding to an advertisement, watch out for offers to pay more than the advertised price for the item. Scammers will send a check and ask the seller to wire the excess through Western Union (possibly for courier fees). The scammer's check is fake and eventually bounces and the seller loses the wired amount. While banks and Western Union branches are trained at spotting fake checks, these types of scams are growing increasingly sophisticated and fake checks often aren't caught for weeks. Funds wired through Western Union or MoneyGram are irretrievable and virtually untraceable. If you have questions regarding scams like these or others, please contact the Ohio Attorney General’s office at (800)282-0515.
