In baseball, one of a player’s defining moments is when he is called up from the minors into the major league. Local estate auctioneer Justin Vondenhuevel, of Vondenhuevel Auctioneers, had just such a defining moment recently, except that it was in the arena of auctioneering and not baseball.

RR Auction of New Hampshire, a prominent international online auctioning firm of rare and valuable collectibles, wanted to break into live auctioning and Justin, along with a team of three others, was called up to help.

‘RR’s first live theme auction, held Sept. 30, was called “Gangsters, Outlaws, and Lawmen,” and featured items from such notorious characters as Wyatt Earp, John Coffee Hayes, Bat Masterson, Pancho Villa and Bonnie and Clyde.

Items from the Bonnie and Clyde collection brought by far the biggest revenues. Two of their guns, ones they had on them when shot by police in Louisiana, brought more than $500,000.

Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow were a notorious criminal duo from the 1930s. Erin Cawthorn reported on CNN.com that “and Parker were known for kidnapping, auto theft, robbery, burglary and 13 murders, including the killings of two police officers, according to the FBI.” After the duo were finally killed by the police, Parker’s .38 Colt revolver was found taped to her leg, and Barrow’s 1911 Colt .45 pistol was removed from his waistband.

RR uses themes when putting together its auctions, which gives Photo provided owners of rare and valuable collectibles an opportunity to put their NOTORIOUS OUTLAWS Bonnie Parker and Clyde items up for sale in a common Barrow are shown in happier days, before being See AUCTION/Page 16A gunned down by lawmen in Louisiana.

WASHINGTON (AP) — What do a Navy mom, Big Bird and AARP have in common? They want President Barack Obama and Republican Mitt Romney to leave them alone.

Both candidates are drawing on personal stories and pop culture references in campaign ads, daily speeches and debate zingers as each tries to cast himself as an “everyman” and broaden his appeal in the presidential race’s closing weeks.

But they’re encountering resistance at seemingly every turn by a broad collection of people and entities they referSee ALONE/Page 16A

Commission OKs rezoning The Sidney Planning Commission approved the rezoning of properties at 329 and 405 E. Poplar St. from light industrial to local business district during its October meeting Monday night.

The request was made

by Mike and Carol Brecount, 318 Brookburn St., and Alpha Community Center. No objections were voiced to the zoning change voiced during Monday’s discussion of the case.

Community Services Director Barbara Dulworth told commissioners the Brecounts propose to open a retail consignment store at 405 1/2 E. Poplar. There is an existing residence at 405 Poplar and Alpha Community Center has preliminary plans for a community center on the undeveloped lot at 329

Poplar St. A floor-cleaning and janitorial service previously operated at 405 E. Poplar, and 329 Poplar was formerly occupied by a pipe-supply business.

The properties are located in a neighborhood of residential, governmental and commercial uses. Dulworth said preferred uses include commercial, office, residential and public uses.

In a Sept. 22 letter to the city’s Community Development office, Jan Geuy, executive director, said Alpha Community Center supports the rezoning of 329 E. Poplar.` Geuy said the center has future plans to erect a building housing a soup kitchen, gymnasium, office space and rooms that could be used for transitional housing.

Texas woman dies in Auglaize County crash WAPAKONETA — A Texas woman was fatally injured in an auto-semi-truck crash at 11:15 a.m. Monday on Interstate 75 at U.S. 33 in Auglaize County.

The Wapakoneta Post of the Ohio State Highway Patrol identified the crash victim as Lorraine Harrison, 62, of San Antonio.

The Harrisons were trapped in their vehicle after the crash and were removed mechanically by St. John’s Fire Department personnel. Both occupants of the auto were transported to Lima Memorial Hospital were Lorraine Harrison died of her injuries. The truck driver was transported to St. Rita’s Medical Center in Lima.

Troopers said the commercial vehicle lost an estimated 50 gallons of diesel fuel as a result of the crash.

Obama, Ryan focus on college vote

BY DAN SEWELL Associated Press CINCINNATI (AP) — College campuses have become more than a backdrop for the presidential campaign in Ohio as both sides are vying to sway young voters to their side.

President Barack Obama was continuing his campus tour of Ohio on Wednesday with an evening rally scheduled at Ohio University in southeastern Ohio. It will be the fifth Ohio college the Democratic president has visited in less than a month.

Not to be outdone, GOP vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan has made the rounds to the state’s universities.

Ryan, a graduate of Miami University in Oxford, spoke Wednesday at Baldwin Wallace University near Cleveland, where he talked about the growing debt and lack of jobs for young people getting out of college. He blamed Obama for both.

“He gives us a growing debt and no solutions,” Ryan said.

Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney and Ryan recently visited several Ohio campuses. Last weekend, Romney had a rally at Shawnee State University, while Ryan tailgated with Bowling Green State University football fans and then spoke at Youngstown State.

REPUBLICAN VICE presidential candidate Rep. Paul Ryan, RWis., accompanied by former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, speaks at a campaign rally at Baldwin Wallace University in Berea Wednesday.

In a return visit to OSU last man, made his alma mater one of his first stops after being week, Obama urged students named as Romney’s running to take buses provided for mate, and he also visited with them at the rally to go to early locations, saying: fans at the Miami-Ohio State voting football game in Columbus “Everything we fought for in 2008 is on the line in 2012.” soon afterward.

But the Romney campaign Exit polling in 2008 indicated Obama won two-thirds thinks it will make inroads of the vote among college-age with young voters this year, adults as he carried Ohio, a and a campaign official said it state expected to be close this is well-organized on campuses year and possibly crucial to across the state.

“We are making a huge winning the White House. Underscoring the importance of push on the campuses,” said Ohio and its college vote, Scott Jennings, Romney’s state Obama officially kicked off his campaign director. “This is a re-election campaign in May at different environment for Obama than it was in 2008.

Ohio State University.

The economy is sputtering along, and these college kids know they are about to graduate into a world that may not have a job for them.”

Obama campaign officials say they are well-positioned on campuses. They say the president has been getting enthusiastic crowds, with students waiting for hours to see and hear him.

University of Cincinnati student body president Lane Hart recalled that the campus excitement in 2008, when Obama spoke at a huge UC rally, “was really palpable.” But Hart, who said he is impartial on the presidential campaign, disputed that students aren’t as interested in this year’s race.

Hart, a 22-year-old Lewisburg native who majors in information systems and finance, pointed to an enthusiastic, larger-than-expected turnout Tuesday night at a campus center to watch the second presidential debate. Organizers were kept busy adding hundreds of chairs for arriving students, with more than 500 on hand by the time it started.

“I would say more young people are engaged,” he said. “I think everyone here understands the importance of Ohio; and Cincinnati, Hamilton County and the young vote. I sense a feeling of duty and responsibility.”

Officials release school, district ratings COLUMBUS (AP) — State officials have released Ohio school and district ratings that have been delayed amid a statewide review of student-attendance data.

The Ohio Department of Education on Wednesday posted the results in a spreadsheet for now — instead of the charts, graphs and other visual elements that districts and families have come

to expect.

Results are still considered preliminary as Ohio Auditor Dave Yost investigates enrollment and attendance irregularities around the state.

The Ohio Board of Education voted to release the eagerlyawaited information, in part because Election Day is approaching and many districts are pursuing

levy and bond issues.

The reports are normally published in August. Schools and districts have had access to preliminary student achievement data on standardized assessments throughout the summer. ___ Online: Ohio Department of Education: http://1.usa.gov/WmYzLU

PRESIDENT BARACK Obama greets a girl in the audience at a campaign event at Ohio University Wednesday in Athens.

First-year Ohio State student Emily Rees of Chagrin Falls said she has been pushing her fellow students to vote, even if they disagree with her support of Obama.

“I’m like: ‘Listen, you need to vote. It’s your duty to your country.’ Obviously, I want the president to win. ‘Like, I don’t care who you vote for, but it’s your voice. You just need to vote,’” she said.

Despite the ability to vote early, she’s going to wait until Nov. 6 to cast her ballot for president for the first time.

3 charged with illegal voting COLUMBUS (AP) — A central Ohio grand jury has indicted three people for allegedly voting more than once in past elections.

Franklin County Prosecutor Ron O’Brien said the indictments Tuesday charged the three with felony voter

fraud. All allegedly tried to vote twice by absentee ballot, two of them in the 2010 general election and one in the 2008 primary election.

Illegal voting is a 4th-degree felony, punishable by up to 18 months in prison.

Surge in U.S. home building could lift economy

BY MARTIN CRUTSINGER Associated Press U.S. home construction is making a comeback that could invigorate the economy’s still-weak recovery.

Builders last month started construction on single-family houses and apartments at the fastest rate in more than four years, the Commerce Department said Wednesday. And they laid plans to build homes at an even faster pace in coming months — a signal of their confidence that the housing rebound will last.

The pace of construction has grown steadily in the past year, and analysts expect it to keep rising. The increase has been fueled by record-low mortgage rates, more stable home prices and a shortage of previously occupied homes for sale.

More new homes could accelerate growth and help boost hiring, especially in areas like construction, home improvement and retailing. More home-

owners lead to more people buying home furnishings.

“I don’t have that crystal ball, but I will say we’re seeing the best sales we’ve seen in five years, and it sure feels good,” Douglas Yearley, CEO of Toll Brothers Inc., said in an interview with The Associated Press. Toll builds luxury homes in 20 states.

The government’s report Wednesday on home construction in September was filled with encouraging details.

Overall, the number of homes that were started increased 15 percent from August to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 872,000. That’s the fastest rate since July 2008.

Single-family homes, which made up more than two-thirds of the new construction, rose 11 percent to 603,000.

That was also the quickest rate in four years. Apartment construction, which can be more volatile from month to month, rose 25.1 percent.

And applications for building permits,

a sign of future construction, jumped nearly 12 percent to an annual rate of 894,000, another high point since July 2008.

The rate of new construction has surged more than 38 percent in the past 12 months.

Housing starts are now 82.5 percent above the annual rate of 478,000 in April 2009, the recession low. It’s still well short of the 1.5 million annual rate that economists consider healthy. And it’s far below the more than 2 million homes started in 2007 — the peak of the boom.

But the steady upward trend appears likely to endure, analysts say.

“The housing market is improving, and there is no reason to think that this will not continue going forward,” said Patrick Newport, U.S. economist at HIS Global Insight.

The surprisingly robust construction data helped push stocks modestly higher.

And the prices of homebuilder stocks rose sharply.

Multivitamins may lower cancer risk in men

BY MARILYNN MARCHIONE Associated Press America’s favorite dietary supplements, multivitamins, modestly lowered the risk for cancer in healthy male doctors who took them for more than a decade, the first large study to test these pills has found.

The result is a surprise because many studies of individual vitamins have found they don’t help prevent chronic diseases and some even seemed to raise the risk of cancer.

In the new study, multivitamins cut the chance of developing cancer by 8 percent.

That is less effective than a good diet, exercise and not smoking, each of which can lower cancer risk by 20 percent to 30 percent, cancer experts say.

Multivitamins also may have different results in women, younger men or people less healthy than those in this study.

“It’s a very mild effect and personally I’m not sure it’s significant enough to recommend to anyone” although it is promising, said Dr. Ernest Hawk, vice president of cancer prevention at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center and formerly of the National Cancer Institute.

“At least this doesn’t suggest a harm” as some previous studies on single vitamins have, he said.

Hawk reviewed the study for the American Association for Cancer Research, which is meeting in Anaheim, Calif., where the study was to be presented on Wednesday. It also was published online in the Journal of the American Medical Association.

About one-third of U.S. adults and as many as half of those over 50 take multivitamins. They are marketed as a kind of insurance policy against bad eating. Yet no government agency recommends their routine use “regardless of the quality of a person’s diet,” says a fact sheet from the federal Office of Dietary Supplements.

Some fads, such as the antioxidant craze over vitamins A and E and beta-carotene, backfired when studies found more health risk with those supplements, not less. Many of those were single vitamins in larger doses than the “100 percent of daily value” amounts that multivitamins typically contain.

Science on vitamins has been skimpy. Most studies have been observational — they look at groups of people who do and do not use vitamins, a method that can’t give firm conclusions.

IN THIS photo of a sketch by courtroom artist Janet Hamlin and reviewed by the U.S. Department of Defense, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed (right) speaks with lawyer and U.S. Marine Corps Reserve Major Derek Poteet, a member of his legal team, while wearing a camouflage vest during the third day of the Military Commissions pretrial hearing against the five Guantanamo prisoners accused of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks at the Guantanamo Bay U.S. Naval Base in Cuba, Wednesday. Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, who has told authorities he was the mastermind of the Sept. 11 hijacking plot, wore the woodland-style camouflage vest for the first time Wednesday, a clothing choice previously denied because of fears it might disrupt the court. Co-accused Ali Abd al-Aziz Ali is seen in the background (second from left).

KSM, 2 other defendants don’t show in court

BY BEN FOX Associated Press GUANTANAMO BAY NAVAL BASE, Cuba (AP) — Three Sept. 11 defendants took a judge up on his offer to let them skip their military tribunal Tuesday and the proceedings went on without them. The Guantanamo detainees won a new request to return to court in camouflage clothing if they wanted.

Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the self-professed 9/11 mastermind, was not in the courtroom while attorneys delved into a dense debate on legal motions, including rules for handling classified evidence at trial and what kind of clothing would be allowed.

Only two of the five defendants made it to court for the second day of the weeklong hearing. Mohammed, Saudi defendant Mustafa Ahmad al-Hawsawi and Pakistani national Ali Abd al-Aziz Ali — Mohammed’s nephew — all stayed away.

The presiding judge, Army Col. James Pohl, ruled Monday that the defendants didn’t have to attend the hearing every day this week, although he said they would have to attend their formal trial and may need to attend future hearings.

Mohammed was taken from his cell at the U.S. base in Cuba to a holding cell outside the courtroom, then chose to boycott at the last minute, said a Navy officer whose name was not released by the court for security reasons.

The 47-year-old Mohammed, who has previously said he conceived and orchestrated the Sept. 11 attacks, gave no reason for sitting out the hearing. But on Monday, he dismissed the military tribunal with scorn, saying “I don’t think there is any justice in this court.”

Authorities have portrayed the other defendants as Mohammed’s underlings, who provided logistical and other help to the Sept. 11 hijackers. All five face the same charges, which include

terrorism and murder, in what is considered one of the most significant terror prosecutions in U.S. history. They all could get the death penalty if convicted at a trial that is at least a year away.

Al-Hawsawi and al-Aziz Ali didn’t provide any reason for their absence, but a lawyer for alAziz Ali had said on Monday that his client’s father had recently died in Kuwait and he was grieving for him.

In attendance were Walid bin Attash, a Yemeni who grew up in Saudi Arabia, and Ramzi Binalshibh, another Yemeni who was originally chosen to be one of the hijackers but couldn’t get a U.S. visa to enter the country. Both sat through the hearing without incident, apparently following the proceedings.

Prosecutors had argued the rules for the special wartime tribunals known as military commissions require defendants to attend all court sessions, and said the defendants’ presence would ensure the proceedings are legitimate.

But lawyers for the men said the threat of forcible removal from their cells would be psychologically damaging for men who had been brutalized while held by the CIA in secret overseas prisons before being taken to Guantanamo in September 2006.

The judge granted another concession to the defendants Tuesday, giving them more freedom to choose what they wear in court.

Mohammed and bin Attash had wanted to wear camouflage clothing in the courtroom at their May arraignment, apparently to portray themselves as soldiers, but the prison commander refused to allow it. The judge ruled they could wear some camouflage items as long as they were not U.S. military uniforms.

Mohammed wants to dress like a “prisoner of war,” said his lawyer, Army Capt. Jason Wright, and should be allowed to “wear the same type of uniform he wore while fighting for the U.S.-supported Mujahedeen in Afghanistan and in Bosnia,” he said.

We all have a great and precious gift to share with others. The proclamation that God so loved us that he gave his only Son to die for us and our sins is indeed a gift. The proclamation that the purpose of his death and resurrection was for us to receive his promise of eternal life gives us hope. Hope is what we need in a world that all too often doesn’t

life decisions,” Boosker reflects. That urging led her to enter the community in September.

Boosker received her bachelor’s degree in music education from the College of Mount St. Joseph in Cincinnati in 1968 and her Master of Education in guidance counseling from Xavier University, also in Cincinnati, in 1978. In 1986, she received a master’s degree in theology from Xavier University, and in 1997, she earned her Ph.D. in women’s studies, literature and spirituality from the Union Institute and University, also in Cincinnati.

Bookser began her education ministry as a secondary teacher at Seton High School in Cincinnati in 1967. She went on to minister at Holy Angels High School, later called Lehman Catholic High School due to a merger, in Sidney, from 1968 to ’74.

She taught as a secondary teacher at Mount Notre Dame High School in Cincinnati from 1974-’79.

Bookser spent 20 years of her ministry at the College of Mount St. Joseph where she served at vari-

ous times as the director of the Liberal Studies program. In that capacity she taught, advised and counseled adult women in the program. In her final years at the college (200411), she was in charge of the Service Learning Program.

In 2001, she received the Outstanding Adjunct Faculty Member award in recognition of her teaching performance as an adjunct in the Religious Studies Department there.

“It was quite an honor to have received an award for doing something that I love. I loved teaching and I loved working with the students,” she said. “I loved trying to build community with them and helping them tap into the awareness and deepening of their own spirituality.”

For eight years (199402), Bookser served as director of Initial Formation for her community, assisting young women in learning about or joining the congregation.

“I got to meet with women who were so deeply spiritual and searching for where God was calling them to best

become a Gospel light,” she said. “Sometimes it was hard because the women looked at the church and did not always see Vatican II in action, but I had to remind them and myself that all of us are the church and our call is to live the Gospel to the best of our ability.”

In 2003, Boosker served as a full-time counselor for Cincinnati State Technical and Community College. Half of her time was spent working with students in the general population and the other half was to work with the student athletes.

Today, Bookser serves as executive counselor with the Leadership Team of the Sisters of Charity of Cincinnati.

As she began her new ministry in 2011, she said, the call of the Gospel to love all people and all God’s creation, along with the words of our founders, Sts. Vincent de Paul and Elizabeth Ann Seton, inform her prayer each day and guide her life.

“They are my means of ‘meeting my grace’ on a daily basis and as I move into this new ministry future,” she said.

CINCINNATI — As she reflects on her 50 years as a Sister of Charity of Cincinnati, Sister Mary Bookser (formerly Sister J e a n Maria) Bookser says, “I remember many years ago hearing a song. The key words still fill my heart and soul, ‘Did I fill the world with love, my whole life through?’ This song has merged with what I see my role as a Sister of Charity to be: the heart and hands and the voice of Jesus; to bring the Gospel to life in whatever I do.”

Born in Pittsburgh, Pa., Bookser and her family moved to Springfield, where she attended St. Teresa Elementary School and later graduated from Springfield Catholic Central High School in 1962.

“I heard an internal quiet whisper, what I now would call a whisper from the Holy Spirit, urging me to check out the Sisters of Charity before I made any

One-half of working Americans admit to having back pain symptoms each year.

If you suffer from back pain, or simply want to optimize your health and wellness, consider seeing a chiropractic physician who can eliminate your pain at the source, as well as offer nutritional and ergonomic tips to keep you feeling better.

DEAR DRS. DONOHUE AND ROACH: In spite of training, it is fairly common to see phlebotomists employ what I think is poor technique.

For example, after wiping the skin over the vein with an alcohol pad, a phlebotomist palpated the vein with a bare finger just before inserting the needle. Would you care to comment? — J.K.Q. ANSWER: Indeed, I would. There are at least two problems you are describing. The first is that after taking care to reduce the risk of infection with alcohol, the phlebotomist is putting his or her nonsterile finger over the

cleaned area, which makes no sense.

Secondly, in 2012 phlebotomists shouldn’t be performing phlebotomy without gloves, to protect themselves from bloodborne infections. Hospitals are increasingly empowering patients to ask about hand-washing and other techniques to reduce infection. This is a time when you can ask the phlebotomist to alcohol the area again and wear gloves.

Drs. Donohue and Roach regret that they are unable to answer individual letters, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible. Readers may write the doctors or request an order form of available health newsletters at P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475.

The mother said her son is bored and lacks focus in college. This suggests he may have PTSD. His desire to enlist in the French Foreign Legion may have short-term gains, but it may also compound mental health problems. — MARC IN SOUTH ORANGE, N.J. DEAR ABBY: The nonsense about joining the French Foreign Legion shows that the young man lacks maturity. He chose to get the tattoos; he can either have laser removal or live with his decision.

He wants to be a Marine and is crying about a regulation he does not like? That is definitely not Marine quality! It appears he needs a serious dose of maturity. — CHRIS IN INDEPEND-

ENCE, MO. DEAR ABBY: The French Foreign Legion is a rational choice for this bored veteran of two tours in Iraq. After three five-year enlistments, he will be eligible to retire.

Plus, the legion will prepare him for a civilian occupation.

He will be able to live in France after only one enlistment, which gives him the benefits of the French medical system.

Many employers in Europe prefer to hire ex-legionnaires. The legion also has a history of teaching its recruits how to speak enough French to get along.

––––– Announcement of the association of L.E. Canter, a well know local merchant, with the Wally Byam Trailer Supplies division of Airstream, Inc. was announced today by officials of the Company. Canter, who will act as product coordinator, will take over his new duties on Monday.

He has been acting as a product consultant for the company for the last several months.

25 years Oct. 18, 1987 The need for new restrooms and a new swimming pool were among items discussed by the Sidney Recreation Board Monday. The board is leaning toward favoring construction of a new pool rather than renovation of the present facility which is 34 years old and deteriorating condition.

Baby news!

Back to her roots

BY: ALLY BERGMAN There is the thrill of expectation around school as Choir Teacher Mrs. Jacque Jenkinson is expecting her first child, a baby girl. No one can resist the natural charm and love of a baby, so it’s no surprise that everyone has been excited about her pregnancy. With a student and faculty population of over 200, her baby will definitely have a warm welcome.

The due date for her baby daughter is set for November 14, but Mrs. J is not so sure that’s true. “My husband and I think it’s going to be the November 2 so we will see who is right.” No matter when the baby comes, Mrs. J will be taking the standard 30 school days for maternity leave. However, because of the timing, her leave gets some bonus days due to the Thanksgiving and Christmas breaks.

Everyone has been curious as to the name chosen for her soon-to-be bundle of joy, but Mrs. J and her husband have decided to keep the baby names to themselves. “We want to keep it a secret and make it a surprise,” she said. Many parents tend to take this route, including fellow teacher Mrs. Liz Maxson, who gave birth last February.

With November fast approaching, her due date is getting closer and closer. With each passing day, the excitement continues to grow. They can’t wait to see her new baby girl and of course neither can she.

When her baby girl does arrive, she will be a great new addition to the Lehman family.

BY: STEPHANY MCELDOWNEY This school year we have welcomed a new face to our Lehman community, Ms. Kim Miller. She is only one of the three new additions to our teaching staff.

Recently, Miller moved back to Ohio from Florida and she is currently living in Bellefontaine. Miller has had many teaching jobs throughout her career, such as teaching eighth grade at Osceola County where she taught Florida history, coached soccer, and also coached girls’ basketball. She also taught seventh and eighth grade at Hillsburrow in Tampa. She taught U.S. History, Math 360, and coached basketball. She then taught tenth and eleventh grade at Zephyrhills. The classes she taught were tenth grade AP History, and eleventh grade history and AP History.

This year at Lehman, Miller is currently teaching social studies classes and will also be coaching the girls’ basketball team. Miller said, “Lehman students are very personable and the school has a friendly environment. The parents and community are also very supportive.” Miller is enjoying teaching at Lehman so far. She said that the difference of teaching at Lehman instead of the public schools where she was previously employed is that Lehman has smaller classes and the students are more respectful and studious.

Miller is currently working on getting her master degree and eventually hopes to become a school administrator.

We wish Ms. Miller the best of luck to continue to have a good school year.

“40 Days for Life” makes an impact on students BY: EMILIE CAVINDER The “40 Days for Life” National Campaign began in 2007 and there have been ten coordinated campaigns since then. The movement has spread to all 50 states and various other countries.

The “40 Days for Life” idea came about in 2004 in Texas when a local pro-life group was praying for an answer on how to reduce the number of abortions in their area. They said that God gave them this idea to campaign. The idea kept spreading and eventually became a nationwide event.

The 2007 Campaign was considered the first “40 Days for Life” and it included more than 80 cities and 30 states. The efforts only grew the following year and today the campaign that began September 26 and runs through November 4 is in 316 locations, the most ever.

For Lehman students involved in the Pro-Lifeguards club this means daily morning prayers for the unborn, and also a field trip to the abortion clinic in Kettering to peacefully protest the unjustice of abortion.

The Pro-Lifeguards make a pilgrimage to Washington D.C. every January to support the National Right to Life and their crusade to overturn Roe v. Wade, the law that made abortion legal in the United States.

Prayers traveling from one classroom to the next BY: KENNEDY MCIVER From Mr. Cordonnier’s room through Mr. Schmiesing’s room, the Vocations Ciborium is beginning to make its way around the school. Donated to the school each year by the Sidney Knights of Columbus, the Ciborium is an un-consecrated chalice which represents a call for young people to consider vocations to the priesthood or religious life of the Catholic Church.

Teachers at Lehman are asked to start each class period with a prayer. When the Ciborium is in a particular classroom, students whose classes are in that room recite the prayer for vocations.

It is now residing in Mr. Harrmann’s room where it will be for a week. “I like having it because it gives students a chance to pray differently and have a chance to reflect on their future choices,” said Harrmann.

Father Hess also gave his insight on the topic at hand. “The Ciborium is used at Mass to remind us that we need to pray for priests and all men and women so they can find their path in life.”

The Ciborium is important because it reminds us to pray for vocations. The priesthood is one of the vocations which is very important because if we don’t have priests, we cannot have the Eucharist, which is an essential part of the Mass, the central worship service of our Faith.

Praying the vocations prayer can really make an impact. Continue to pray and find your path in life.

Prayer for Vocations Almighty Father, You have created us for some definite purpose.

Grant us the grace to know the path You have planned for us in this life and to respond with a generous “Yes.” Make our archdiocese, parishes, homes and hearts fruitful ground for Your gift of vocations.

May our young people respond to Your call with courage and zeal.

Stir among our men a desire and the strength to be good and holy priests.

Bless us with consecrated religious and those called to a chaste single life, permanent deacons, and faithful husbands and wives, who are a sign of Christ’s love for His Church.

We commend our prayer for vocations to You, Father, through the intercession of Mary our Mother, in the Holy Spirit, through Christ our Lord. Amen.

– Archbishop Dennis M. Schnurr

Sidney High School Student Government to hold blood drive Thursday, October 18, 2012

Sidney High Student Government will hold its first of three blood drives on Friday October 19 in the Auxiliary Gym. The blood drive is held in conjunction with the Community Blood Center. Student Government Members set up the tables and chairs and donate food, drinks and paper products as well as provide volunteers to work the canteen and student check in station.

The CBC states, At least 335 pints of whole blood must be collected daily from volunteer donors to sufficiently meet patient transfusion needs. This year that need is projected to reach more than 87,000 units of blood products.

All donated blood becomes part of the general blood supply. Each unit of blood is tested, typed and processed by the Dayton CBC laboratory, and then distributed daily to the 24 area hospitals.

Last year Sidney High School had more than 300 donors over three drives and defeated Springfield High School in a “blood battle” by collecting 110 pints of Blood in a single drive last May. Blood Drive Chairwoman is SHS Junior Ms. Olivia Seving. Seving is in charge of every aspect of the drive from organizing student workers to check-in. “Kids enjoy donating for the free t-shirt and cookies but the true reward is when the CBC calls to tell a student that their blood was used to save a life,” notes Seving.

Another incentive to donate blood is the Red Honor Cord Program. Now in its third year at SHS, the Red Cord Program allows seniors that have donated three of more times to wear Red Honor Cords at graduation. Seving reports “Last year 56 seniors qualified for the Red Cord program up from 44 in 2011. The 2013 group should be close to 75 seniors representing nearly 30 percent of the Senior class!”

Student Government coordinates the event by recruiting teachers, staff members, students and administrators to donate. This blood drive is open only to the Sidney High School community. Students that wish to donate at SHS must meet certain requirements: Must be at least 16 years of age, weigh at least 110 pounds, provide a photo ID and Social Security Number and have signed permission slip. Student can sign up at www.donortime.com and enter code 354 to register for the drive. All students should eat a good breakfast and drink plenty of water before they donate. Any questions concerning the SHS event, please contact Student Government Advisor Brett Bickel.

Week 9 important for area teams

BY KEN BARHORST Kbarhorst@sdnccg.com It happens a lot this time of year.

It’s week 9 of the high school football season, but for some teams, there’s another term for it – do or die time.

For two of the county football teams, that rings true.

The Lehman Cavaliers in Division VI, Region 24, and the Anna Rockets, in Division V, Region 20, desperately need victories Friday night to have any chance of making it to the postseason, Lehman is 11th this week in Region 24, and more than two points out of the eighth qualifying spot. But the Cavs have a good opportunity Friday night when 6-2, Division V Spencerville comes to Sidney Memorial Stadium in what will be the Cavs final regular season game.

Even with a win, Lehman head coach Dick Roll says the

Cavaliers will need help. But as he likes to put it, “at least we’re playing for something.”

The problem the Cavaliers might face is that the Bearcats are also playing for something. Despite their 6-2 record, they are beyond the top eight in their region this week and will need to win out to qualify. They end up the season against Delphos Jefferson, which is 6-2 this week.

“It’s a tall order for our kids, but by no stretch are we going in thinking we can’t beat these guys,” said Roll.

“We’re going in with the notion that we can win the game.”

The Cavaliers are coming off a much-needed 14-0 road win over Upper Scioto Valley last week in a game Roll said was just the opposite of the week before, a loss to Fairbanks.

“It was ugly last week, but we got a win we really needed,” he said. “We didn’t

play very well on offense. Too many turnovers and mental mistakes. The week before we played very well on offense, but didn’t get it done on the defensive side.”

He said the Cavs will face a Bearcat team that will just want to line up and see who’s best.

“They are a throwback Wing-T team, with double tight ends,” said Roll. “They think their kids are better than your kids and they want to line up and prove it. We just have to be ready defensively.

And on offense, we’re going to have to figure out what they’re doing because we haven’t seen a defense like theirs this season.

“We’re going to have to come to play because they’re playing for their playoff lives too,” he added.

Anna is 10th in Region 20 of Division V, but only trails the No. 8 team by less than a point. And with perennial

power Marion Local up this week on the road, the Rockets have a chance to make a major leap in the rankings and secure a playoff spot.

The problem, of course, is getting past the Flyers, who have again carved out another outstanding season. The Flyers have lost to only unbeaten Coldwater and also to Versailles this season.

The Rockets will need a win this week to keep their playoff hopes alive because they will close the season against a Parkway team that will likely come into the game without a win.

Elsewhere, the Sidney Yellow Jackets try to keep their hopes for a .500 season alive but they must do it against by far the best team on their schedule in the Trotwood Rams on the road.

After winning in week five to go to 3-2 on the year, the Jackets have lost three in a row.

The Fort Loramie Redskins, meanwhile, riding the crest of a huge computer-point win over Muncie Southside of Indiana, get a chance for more big computer points Friday night when they travel to Ridgemont in Northwest Central Conference play. Ridgemont comes into the game with a 5-3 mark.

A win by the Redskins will put them at 4-1 in the NWCC with only winless Upper Scioto remaining.

Finally, Minster travels to Versailles in a battle of two strong MAC schools looking to stay alive in the battle for a playoff spot.

Minster is tied for fourth this week in Region 20, but has two tough foes remaining in the Tigers and Delphos St. John’s.

Versailles is back in 11th in the same region as Anna and will need wins over Minster and St. Henry the final two weeks.

Banner hopes to make Browns winners BEREA (AP) — Joe Banner didn’t want to make any promises or predictions. It’s not his nature.

But just as he helped transform the Philadelphia Eagles into consistent winners, the new CEO of the Cleveland Browns has a plan to fix a franchise trapped inside a vortex of failure.

He just hopes it doesn’t take five years.

“I’ll be in a straitjacket if it takes that long,” Banner joked.

On the same day GOP vice presidential candidate Paul

Ryan rerouted his campaign trail through Cleveland’s practice, the Browns ushered in a new administration as Banner was introduced by new owner Jimmy Haslam III, whose $1 billion purchase of the franchise was approved at the NFL’s fall meetings on Tuesday.

Banner spent 19 years with the Eagles, spending the final 12 seasons as team president.

During his time in Philadelphia, the Eagles went to the playoffs 11 times, won six NFC East titles, advanced to five

He’s aware that other executives have tried and failed to turn around the Browns, who have made the playoffs just once since 1999. Banner isn’t going to dwell on past mistakes or make any rash judgments as eases into his new position. He’s only interested in delivering a winner to Cleveland’s long-suffering and

“I don’t want to be the next person to make a bunch of promises,” he said. “I want to go out, do the work and let them see the result.”

Banner won’t officially begin handling the Browns’ day-to-day operations until Oct. 25, when Haslam’s acquisition of the team from Randy Lerner will be finalized. By then, the Browns (1-5) will have played seven games and both Haslam and Banner will have a better sense of the work ahead.

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Lance Armstrong stepped down as chairman of his Livestrong cancer-fighting charity and Nike severed ties with him as fallout from the doping scandal swirling around the famed cyclist escalated Wednesday.

Armstrong announced his move at the charity in an early-morning statement.

Within minutes, Nike said that it would end its relationship with him “due to the seemingly insurmountable evidence that Lance Armstrong participated in doping and misled Nike for more than a decade.”

Nike said it will continue to support Livestrong.

The U.S. Anti-Doping Agency released a massive report last week detailing allegations of widespread doping by Armstrong and his teams when he won the Tour de France seven consecutive times from 1999 to 2005.

The document’s purpose was to show why USADA has banned him from cycling for life and ordered 14 years of his career results erased — including those Tour titles. It contains sworn statements from 26 witnesses, including 11 former teammates.

Armstrong, who was not paid a salary as chairman of the Lance Armstrong Foundation, will remain on its 15member board. His duties leading the board will be turned over to vice chairman Jeff Garvey, who was founding chairman in 1997.

“This organization, its mission and its supporters are incredibly dear to my heart,” Armstrong said in a statement. “Today therefore, to spare the foundation any negative effects as a result of controversy surrounding my cycling career, I will conclude my chairmanship.”

Clint Bowyer’s three victories this season (Sonoma, Richmond, Charlotte). “It’s fun to walk to Victory Lane,” Bowyer says. “Let me tell you, that’s the best walk you could ever have. I think that’s my new trademark. I’ll walk home if it means Victory Lane.”

YEAR Bowyer’s third win is 2 CAREER the most for a Michael Waltrip Racing entry in the Cup Series since the organization’s full-time debut in 2007.

Prior to 2012, MWR recorded two Cup wins, both coming with David Reutimann (2009, 2010). Bowyer’s win total is also his highest in any single season since his first year in the Cup Series (2006). The Kansas native now owns eight career wins as a Cup driver to go along with eight Nationwide and three Truck Series victories.

The number is more impressive in that Logano has made only 18 of the series’ 29 starts this year. Elliott Sadler and Ricky Stenhouse Jr.—the top two in the series championship standings—have combined for nine wins.

A New Hope

Clint Bowyer wins at Charlotte, keeps championship drive alive

By MATT TALIAFERRO

Athlon Sports Racing Editor

After four races, Brad Keselowski, Jimmie Johnson and Denny Hamlin had seemingly separated themselves in NASCAR’s Chase for the Sprint Cup. Not so fast, says Clint Bowyer.

As the sport’s version of a playoff completed the “first half” of its 10race run, Bowyer and his No. 15 Michael Waltrip Racing team used strategy to outsmart the trio of favorites, winning the Bank of America 500 at Charlotte Motor Speedway with superior fuel mileage.

Bowyer’s third win of the season moved his team to within 28 points of Keselowski in the championship standings.

“I looked at it last week and going into this week, I still thought if one of those guys (Keselowski, Johnson, Hamlin) were to stub a toe, it really would open the door for about eight of us to get right back into the championship hunt,” Bowyer said. “With a win here, it definitely gave us new life and new hope.”

Crew chief Brian Pattie echoed the sentiment, saying that, “Twentyeight points is achievable over the next five weeks. It’s a lot better than 40, how we started the weekend.

“There’s three guys you’ve got to pass, not only the points. We’ll go to Kansas on Wednesday and test like hell and try to pick up our program even more than we have now because we weren’t the fastest car tonight, we just had (a winning) strategy. It would be nice to win one of these things and actually drive to Victory Lane.”

Keselowski, Johnson and Hamlin flexed their muscles throughout a tame event, leading a total of 228 of 334 laps, that witnessed five cautions, two of which were for debris.

On lap 275, Keselowski’s No. 2 Penske Racing team did something it had largely avoided the previous four weeks: It made a mistake.

While attempting to stretch a tank of fuel, the championship leader— who led the most laps in the event

(139)—ran out of gas while leading and coasted into the pits.

That opened the door for Bowyer, Johnson and Hamlin. With Keselowski mired in traffic, they went into fuel conservation mode, reasoning that, with one more full green-flag cycle left, everyone would be running on fumes as the race reached its conclusion.

And they were right. The twist, though, was that Bowyer was a forgotten soul, as the teams of Johnson and Hamlin calculated that they were the only two that would have enough in reserve to stretch one final cycle.

“We outfoxed him,” Bowyer said of Johnson’s crew chief, Chad Knaus. “Any time you outfox him you know you’ve done a good job, especially at this racetrack.”

The miscalculations were not especially harmful to Johnson and Hamlin, though, as the latter fin-

ished second and the former third.

Even Keselowski, who managed an 11th-place showing, did not appear to be distraught. He explained that aggressiveness was what got his team here, and one shouldn’t expect them to back off from that stance: “We’re not going to put the prevent defense out there. We’re going to go at you and try to sack the quarterback every time. Sometimes you’re going to miss, and they’re going to get a big payoff.

“We have hit them a lot, that’s why we’re in the points lead, and we’re going to keep after it.”

Fair enough. And the next stop for NASCAR’s traveling circus is the 1.5-mile Kansas Speedway, Bowyer’s home track. And a place that has seen Keselowski, Johnson and Hamlin each score a win in the series’ last three visits.

For those still alive with five races remaining, hope springs eternal.

I NASCAR and FOX Sports Media Group announced on Monday an eight-year, multi-platform media rights agreement that ensures FOX’s broadcast of NASCAR racing through 2022.

FOX will once again air 13 Sprint Cup races as well as having full-season rights to NASCAR’s Camping World Truck Series.

Beginning next year, FOX will live stream its races—including pre- and post-race coverage to its FOX-affiliated website via “TV Everywhere.” The Sports Business Journal valued the deal at more than $2.4 billion. It’s believed the current NASCAR/FOX deal, which began in 2006, is worth $1.76 billion.

Looking at Checkers: Hard to beat Jimmie Johnson’s 10 top 10s (two wins) in 12 Kansas starts.

Pretty Solid Pick: Brad Keselowski has a win and a third-place finish in two of his last three Kansas starts.

Good Sleeper Pick: Greg Biffle has undewhelmed in the Chase, but he will not this weekend.

Runs on Seven Cylinders: Kyle Busch has only two top 10s in his 10 starts here.

Insider Tip: Johnson, Keselowsk and Denny Hamlin—the three championship leaders—have won the last three Kansas Cup races.

10. Matt Kenseth 11. Martin Truex Jr. 12. Mark Martin 13. Kevin Harvick 14. Carl Edwards 15. Ryan Newman ASP, Inc. Just off the lead pack:

Jeff Gordon (left) and Kasey Kahne.

It’s hard to maintain a 3.75-place average finish, which is what Keselowski owned through four Chase races. His 11th-place run is by no means crippling, but it tightened the gap up top.

It seems the Talladega race (17th) is the only thing keeping him out of the points lead. Throw out that wreck-induced result and Johnson’s Chase shapes up like this: Second, second, fourth, third.

His 13 top 5s is second only to Johnson’s 16. The difference is that (especially in the Chase) his lows have been lower. Fuel mileage once again came in between him and a win on Saturday.

The most impressive aspect of Bowyer’s (and MWR’s) three victories: They’ve come on a road course (Sonoma), short track (Richmond) and intermediate track (Charlotte). Well rounded.

His top-3 streak comes to an end in Charlotte after getting busted for speeding on pit road. Better times are ahead at Kansas and Martinsville.

Kahne’s 8.6-place average Chase finish ain’t too shabby. And at 35 points out, he isn’t completely done in the championship battle. Needs a couple wins to really convince us.

Three consecutive showings of seventh or better find Busch ... still in 13th. That 16th in Richmond has to really be smarting right about now, he’d be fifth in the standings had he made the Chase.

After stumbling out of the gate, Biffle has righted the ship to the tune of sixth- and fourth-place finishes. Too little, too late, unfortunately.

Stewart continues his maddeningly inconsistent year. Following fourth-, sixth- and seventh-place runs, he’s slumped to results of 20th, 22nd and 13th. Head-scratcher.

Kenseth’s win at Talladega was no fluke, but when one considers his other Chase showings (18th, 14th, 35th and 14th) it puts the plate tracks in their anomalous perspective.

Bowyer’s MWR teammate registered his third top-10 performance of the Chase in Charlotte.

When he’s entered, he’s a threat. See: Richmond (third), Dover (third) and Charlotte (sixth).

Richard Childress Racing is beefing up for some offseason personnel changes.

Edwards has been fifth and seventh in his last two non-restrictor-place starts.

Kansas Speedway It was 2001, and Jeff Gordon was rolling.

Well on his way to a fourth Winston Cup title, Gordon and his No. 24 Hendrick Motorsports team led 53 laps in the inaugural race at Kansas Speedway in the Protection One 400.

Gordon and Rusty Wallace, who led 117 laps, were in a dogfight for the lead with just under 50 laps to go, but a caution brought the field to pit road. On exit, Wallace was busted for speeding and sent to the end of the longest line for the restart.

Ricky Rudd, in the No. 28 Havoline Ford, assumed the lead and led 14 laps until Gordon and Mark Martin got by him with 23 laps remaining just prior to a vicious wreck by Dale Jarrett that briefly knocked him unconscious.

Gordon held on from there, beating Ryan Newman, in his sixth career start, by .413 seconds.

and Nov. 24 Wisconsin.

Wisconsin: Minnesota on Saturday, Oct. 27 Michigan State, bye week, Nov. 10 at Indiana, Nov. 17 Ohio State, Nov. 24 at Penn State.

Purdue: at Ohio State on Saturday, Oct. 27 at Minnesota, Nov. 3 Penn State, Nov. 10 at Iowa, Nov. 17 at Illinois, Nov. 24 Indiana.

It’s still too early to pick a favorite, or even to determine which has the easiest schedule.

But at least there’s a glimpse of what’s ahead for the teams battling it out in the division.

WHO SAID IT: Guess who said the following: “The last two weeks we have not played very well defensively, and the numbers speak for themselves.”

You guessed Urban Meyer? Wrong. Luke Fickell? Nope. The answer is Purdue head coach Danny Hope.

His team has surrendered 82 points the last two weeks in losses to Michigan (44-13) and Wisconsin (38-14), both at home.

Now, both Meyer and

Fickell have said somesimilar. Ohio thing State’s defense has given up 87 points the last two weeks in wins over Nebraska (63-38) and Indiana (52-49).

THE ODDS: Ohio State is a 19-point favorite against Purdue.

THE PICK: Associated Press College Football Writer Ralph Russo picked Ohio State to win, 45-21. The upset, considering the defenses the past two weeks, is he only had 66 total points in the game ACLs IN THE B1G: Purdue offensive coordinator Gary Nord has his pick of players who have had torn anterior cruciate ligaments.

At just two positions, the ACL injuries include: RB Ralph Bolden, QB Robert Marve, RB Brandon Cotton and QB Rob Henry.

Bolden will likely play against Ohio State, while Marve and Henry are penciled in as the second- and third-string QBs behind starter Caleb TerBush.

ALL OR NOTHING: Meyer was asked on the

Big Ten teleconference what he could do this week to help WR Devin Smith. He caught two TD passes in the win at Indiana, but he also dropped two wide-open balls that could easily have gone the distance.

“We do a lot of things with the receivers and he’s a perfect example,” Meyer said. “We do nonstop collision drills during practice, so like today, for example, we’ll make sure that he’s getting hit after every throw.”

Meyer is convinced Smith, perhaps the Buckeyes’ best big-play receiver with six touchdowns on only 21 catches, can cut back on the drops.

“I have enough confidence in him he’s going to get better,” Meyer said. “It’s either feast or famine, it’s either a touchdown or nothing.

We just need to have more consistency.”

JUSTIN VONDENHUEVEL of Maplewood helps auction off items at a preliminary event leading up to the “Gangsters, Outlaws and Lawmen” sale conducted by RR Auction in New Hampshire on Sept. 30.

Photo provided

THESE GUNS were among items auctioned off, bringing more than $500,000.

They were found on the bodies of Bonnie and Clyde.

AUCTION venue. Typically, the sellers and the buyers wish to remain anonymous so that people can’t look them up. “Keeping confidences is prime,” said Vondenhuevel.

So how did a smalltown local auctioneer like Vondenhuevel get the opportunity to be involved on such a big stage? One could say it all began when he was first inspired to become an auctioneer by his grandfather, the late William “Dollar Bill” Cottrel. Cottrel was a local auctioneer for more than 40 years and had a reputation for strong ethics and honesty. “Disgustingly honest,” Vondenhuevel says with a playful grin.

“It’s easy in this business to take advantage of people,” he said.

And so, because of his grandfather’s influence and example, and because a successful auctioneering business is for Vondenhuevel referral-driven, he strives to meticulously commit to the same level of ethics and honesty in his own career.

Vondenhuevel and his wife, Abby, live in Maplewood and have two children. He attended high school in Houston and graduated from auctioning school in 1994. After that he did a one-year apprenticeship under his grandfather and then worked for him for two additional years.

Later, Vondenhuevel furthered his auctioneering education at the Certified Auctioneers Institute (CAI), a threeyear intensive program, which he describes as “like a master’s degree for auctioneers.” CAI is based in Kansas and the program was held at Indiana University in Bloomington. It’s considered a pres-

From Page 1

tigious auctioning school.

“You need referral letters to get in,” Vondenhuevel said.

When RR wanted help breaking into live auctions, with its clout and reputation, it could have called on anybody. But because of Vondenhuevel’s reputation and background, he was one of four CAI graduates chosen for the job. “(RR) was extremely excited about this,” Vondenhuevel said, as was he, describing the opportunity as “going from the minors to the majors.” He noted the excitement of auctioning in general is related to “being part of history; holding history in your hands.”

After accepting the assignment, Vondenhuevel asked what he should bring to New Hampshire and was told to “bring yourself and your tuxedo.”

The event was a highclass, black-tie affair. Vondenhuevel was advised to buy his own tuxedo, not rent one, so that it would be tailored specifically to him.

While in New Hampshire, Vondenhuevel and his wife, who is also happens to be his business partner, had breakfast with RR’s owner Bob Eaton and his wife. They learned both couples have a lot in common.

The auction was held on the international stage and got coverage from major news organizations such as CNN. It was held in a banquet hall at the Crown Plaza Hotel in Nashua.

“It was a specialized sale, and so there weren’t a lot of people there,” Vondenhuevel said. And since “keeping confidences is prime,” the anonymous buyers and sellers sent representatives in their stead so the

public won’t seek them out for any reason. The items from the collections were set up at several different stations around the banquet hall with experts at each station. The auction was under high security with “only one way in and only one way out.”

In addition to Bonnie and Clyde’s two guns, other items in the collection included a silver dollar and a watch recovered from Barrow’s body immediately after the ambush, Bonnie Parker’s bloodstained silk stocking, and her personal cosmetic case.

After the auction, Vondenhuevel was told it couldn’t have gone better and was then asked: “How do you feel about NYC, Philly, and Dallas?”

Those are sites for future live auctions by RR. His response: “I’m in!” Experience at the RR auction provided Vondenhuevel with national and international exposure and could help pave the way for greater opportunities to grow his own auctioning firm.

“I love researching things; finding things,” Vondenhuevel said. “The auctioning business is definitely a passion.”

IN THIS Aug. 30, 2009, file photo, Big Bird arrives at the Daytime Emmy Awards in Los Angeles. What do a Navy mom, Big Bird and AARP have in common? They all want President Barack Obama and Republican Mitt Romney to leave them alone. The two candidates are drawing on personal stories and pop culture references in campaign ads, daily speeches and debate zingers as each seeks to cast himself as an “everyman” and broaden his appeal in the presidential race’s closing weeks. to colleges.

For years, Virginia Tech has implored both parties to stop using their trademarked mascot in Senate, gubernatorial and presidential elections — and this year is no different. The school claims the Republican Party of Virginia has distributed “Hokies for Romney-Ryan” bumper stickers and in September wrote to both state parties reminding them that use of “Hokies” is offlimits.

Journalists, too, have recoiled at seeing themselves in campaign commercials.

A Romney spot in January, during the GOP primary season, used historical footage of former anchor Tom NBC Brokaw reporting on then-House Speaker Newt Gingrich’s ethics problems. Brokaw and NBC demanded that the spot be taken down.

“I am extremely uncomfortable with the extended use of my personal image in this political ad,” Brokaw said in a statement at the time, adding that he didn’t want his role as a journalist compromised for political gain.

Ten months later, Obama’s team drew NBC’s ire over an ad featuring a clip of Andrea Mitchell. The NBC anchor took to the airwaves to rap Obama’s campaign

for using the footage without her permission.

In both cases, the campaigns said they would review the situation and, sooner or later, the issues, like other fleeting campaign hiccups, faded away.

So what can be done when a celebrity or anyone else discovers they’re unwittingly at the center of a political campaign?

Not much, say intellectual property experts, unthe candidate less explicitly claims a false endorsement.

Free-speech protections enshrined in the Constitution regard political speech as paramount and make it tough to seek legal recourse.

Public figures like celebrities and TV anchors lose their expectation of privacy, and with it, their ability to control most of what others say about them.

“Here’s the great thing about our society: They have the right to complain,” said Carole Hanwho teaches dler, entertainment and copyright law at University of Southern California Law School. “Unless it’s really, really horrible, the best remedy is more speech.”

Often times, a public gripe is enough to do the trick. After all, no candidate wants a protracted scuffle with a beloved celebrity or well-respected group.

ence. This year’s complaints have gone beyond the usual griping by musical groups whose songs candidates use at rallies, sometimes without permission from the artists.

Aside from causing a public stink, legal experts say there’s not much anyone can do to stop candidates from invoking their stories or their names.

“Being in the midst of any presidential debate is not a place where we should be,” Paul Kerger, president of PBS, which airs “Sesame Street,” said in an interview.

“With the enormous problems facing our country, the fact we’re in this continues to be surprising to me.”

A fictional chicken became the unlikeliest character in the presidential race this month when Romney suggested, during the first presidential debate, cutting off federal subsidies for Big Bird. The network chastised Romney the following day for making it a political target.

But when Big Bird showed up days later in an Obama ad mocking Romney, it was the president who drew criticism.

Sesame Workshop, the show’s producer, called for the ad to be pulled.

Obama’s ads also have caused a stir at AARP, a lobbying group for seniors, whose logo appears in commercials promoting Obama’s health care law. The organization backed those reforms and has criticized Romney’s Medicare proposal, but twice has made it a point to say it’s not endorsing anyone in the race.

Romney, meanwhile, has drawn the ire of musical groups Twisted Sisand Silversun ter Pickups for using their songs to fire up crowds at campaign rallies.

Peter Berg, who developed the TV show “Friday Night Lights,” bristled last week when Romney adorned his Facebook page and campaign speeches with a twist on the show’s inspirational slogan: “Clear eyes, full hearts, can’t lose!” As of Wednesday, Romney’s Facebook page still displayed the slogan prominently.

Days earlier, Romney agreed to stop telling the story of a Christmas encounter with Glen Doherty, a former Navy SEAL killed in the attacks in Benghazi, Libya, after his mother accused Romney of making her son’s death part of his political agenda. Romney’s aides said he was inspired by Doherty’s memory but would respect the mother’s wishes.

JENNY MAURER, of Anna, holds historical themed ornaments at the Anna Village Hall Tuesday. Maurer is a member of the Anna District Historical Society.

Holiday ornaments offered for sale ANNA —The Anna District Historical Society is wanting to add a little sparkle to the Christmas season by selling ornaments depicting Anna area landmarks.

This year’s ornament features Kettlersville School. The ornament is blue and is available for $12.

Last year’s ornament, which depicts McCartyville School is still available in limited numbers for anyone who would like to purchase one. The ornament is green and is also available for $12 each. Those wanting to purchase both the Kettlersville and McCartyville School ornaments can purchase both for $20.

The organization sold an ornament featuring

the Kah House during their first year of ornament sales, which was sold out.

Those wanting to purchase one or both of the ornaments can do so by contacting Linda Glessner at US Bank in Anna at 394-4411 or they can go to the Anna Village Hall located at 209 W. Main Street in Anna and purchase an ornament by asking for Jenny Maurer. Those wanting to call first can reach Maurer at 394-3751 or they can call Carity after 6:30 p.m. at 394-3581.

The organization is planning to feature a Christmas display in the Noll Building in Anna as part of the Christmas in the Village program this year. More information will be released closer to the holidays.

BOTKINS — Botkins Village Council members heard about Botkins Fire Department activities and the date for the village’s trick-or-treat night during their recent meeting.

Nick Greve, who serves on the fire and safety committee, told council members that the Botkins Fire Department will be having search and rescue training activities at a vacant house located next to the trailer park in the village. Village officials heard that trick-or-treat will be held in the village on Oct. 25. Frosty the Snowman will be making a special stop in the village on Dec. 2 to visit with children in the area. Frosty will meet with local children at the Botkins Fire Department. Botkins Fire Chief Pat Fullenkamp thanked the Botkins Village Utility Department for power and air drops that have been installed at the fire department.

Daryl Bowling, a village utility service employee, gave a presentation to council members regarding the condition of the south water tank located on County Road 25A. The tank is in need of repair.

Bowling presented a report on a lifetime maintenance program for the water towers. Council members asked Village Administrator Jesse Kent to check into the maintenance lifetime programs that other villages have and report back to the council. It was reported that Kent, Council Member Craig Brown and village employee Aaron Bender took a tour of Gradall, a

maker of street sweepers. They were checking on the Vacall type street sweeper which sweeps and vacuums. The village currently has a mechanical broom system, which it was noted is not working as well as it should. Kent has placed the Vacall sweeper on the village’s “wish list.”

Bender requested approval to obtain Operator Training Committee of Ohio (OTCO) training for a Sewer 1 license.

The cost of the training is $635. The council approved the request.

The council discussed subdivision regulations with the planning commission with a recommendation regarding to accept the updated manual, although there is a question regarding Ordinance 87.24 on the issue of street width. The council decided to send the question to the service committee for review regarding that ordinance.

The Park Committee met on Oct. 3 and decided to have one more clean up day at the village park. It was also noted that Flomaster had been contacted to winterize the sprinklers.

The Service Committee held a meeting on Oct. 2

with special guest Aaron Koenig present for the meeting. Koenig is asking for assistance with drainage on his property located at 101 Kennedy Ave. Chairman Steve Heuker asked who had responsibility for the tile on the property in the 1960’s and if that would be a problem for future development of the Koenig’s remaining farm land. Council member and Service Committee Member Nick Greve and Koenig discussed water that is lying in the tile and the catch basin.

Heuker said he would discuss the problem with council members, but did not have a timeline on a decision.

Kent was present at the Service Committee meeting and gave the committee information on turning in the Issue 2 grant for the South Street lift station. The permit to install was also discussed for that project. Kent discussed

easement issues for the project.

The Service Committee discussed problems with a stop sign located at King Street. It was decided that a stop sign should be placed at the south end of King Street.

The committee decided to take the suggestion under advisement.

The Service Committee had planned to survey street widths at the end of their meeting, but it was dark by then and they decided to accept the subdivision regulations. It was recommended to rescind the ordinance that required 36 foot wide roads.

The council took action on two ordinances during their meeting including: • Passing an emergency ordinance for Application Issue 2 at the South Street lift station.

• Passing an emergency ordinance for the annexation of 13.678 acres of land.

(Half of success is just showing up.)

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) This is an unusually playful, romantic year for Aquarius. Enjoy your good fortune and your creative opportunities.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Your home life and where you live will please you much more in the coming year. In addition, family relationships will be cozier, warmer and more mutually generous.

YOU BORN TODAY You’re free-spirited and outspoken. Nevertheless, you are a loyal family member, as long as you can still feel independent. You have strong opinions and like to expose the truth, especially about hidden, murky situations. And you can be provocative! Plan on setting aside time to study or learn something valuable in the coming year, because you will be glad you did.

FULL TIME

EVERY THURSDAY

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 branches are Union 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.
