BOE OKS tax agreement

BY JENNIFER BUMGARNER jbumgarner@sdnccg.com The Sidney City School Board of Education voted unanimously to enter into a tax sharing agreement with the city of Sidney during the tax exemption period for Reli-

able Castings Corp. during its meeting Monday night.

“There are a number of projects that occur in the city for abatement,” said Treasurer Michael Watkins. “In this particular one, Reliable Castings is increasing some building space and some equipment for its new produc-

tion it has relating to Toyota.”

Reliable Castings Corp. requested an abatement of 57 percent from the city. The city informed the school district of the abatement even though the district doesn’t have to approve of the abatement.

“There’s no required signing off or approval for the tax-

ing entities,” said Watkins.

“What the city has been real good with, as long as I’ve been here, is for any abatement over 50 percent they have in place a policy of which they will share income tax collected from the new jobs to the school district.”

Gone with the wind The sign adorning the top of Ron & Nita's Work House is taken away by (l-r) Mark Barga, of Anna, Jason Truesdale and Dave Brulport, both of Sidney, Monday. The sign was taken down after it was reported to be swaying in the wind causing fears it could fall down. Nails that fell out of the sign, which is dated 1880, were handmade square ones. The poor condition of the sign makes it unlikely that it can be restored. The owners of Ron & Nita’s Work House do not own the building.

Inserts explain state issues Today’s edition of the Sidney Daily News includes two 30-page inserts which explain state issues that will appear on the ballot in the Nov. 8 election. Also included are arguments for both approving and rejecting the initiatives.

Issue 1 is a proposed amendment to the Ohio Constitution. It would increase

the maximum age at which a person may be elected or appointed judge, would eliminate the authority of the General Assembly to establish courts of conciliation, and would eliminate the authority of the governor to appoint a supreme court commission.

Issue 2 is a referendum on a new law

relative to government union contracts and other government employment contracts and policies.

Issue 3 is also a proposed amendment to the Ohio Constitution. It would preserve the freedom of Ohioans to choose their health care and health care coverage.

An Anna man waived his right to a speedy trial on Friday.

Whitfield “John” Farley III, 45, 624 W. St., Main Anna, submitted a document to the Shelby County ComPleas mon Court on FriFarley day which stated that he waived his right to a speedy trial and requested an indefinite continuance of the trial.

According to court records, the waiver of a speedy trial came following the denial of a motion on Oct. 12, filed by Farley’s attorney, Chris Bucio. The motion on Oct. 12 was a request of an extension of time to file pretrial motions. The reason given to the court was because of a “heavy caseload.”

The motion was denied. A motion to continue was filed on Monday.

Farley is charged with four counts of sexual battery, felonies of the third degree.

Farley worked at Clear Creek Farms when he allegedly engaged in sexual conduct with a 17-year-old girl. Farley also worked parttime at West Central Juvenile Detention Center in Miami County.

PUBLIC RECORD

Trial date set in Seitz case A pretrial has been set for Nov. 21 at 1:30 p.m. with the jury trial set to follow beginning Dec. 13 at 9 a.m. in the new trial for Jamie J. Seitz, Seitz 1 0 5 2 North St., Piqua. Proceedings will take place in the Shelby County Commons Pleas Court.

Seitz was convicted in May of one count of at-

tempted murder, one count of felonious assault and three counts of kidnapping in connection with an incident that occurred last December.

Judge James F. Stevenson granted him a new trial in August, following testimony by three jurors in the original case stating the judge’s admonishments to avoid reading or viewing anything about the ongoing trial had been violated and that had influenced their decision to find Seitz guilty.

Jones has pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity. His lawyer says Jones was not at his grandmother’s house at the time when the coroner says she died.

Family loses home, belongings in fire

BY JENNIFER BUMGARNER jbumgarner@sdnccg.com PEMBERTON — A family of seven lost their home in a fire on Saturday.

Jessica and Wes Southers lived at the home at 20911 Leonard St. in Perry Township. They have five children, daughters, Denisha, Audrey, and Baily; and sons, Gage and Talin.

The family does have a place to stay but is in need of household items and clothing. The children range in age from 1 year old through eighth grade.

The family are members of the United Methodist Church in Pemberton and Pastor Don Burley is assisting the family with donations.

“We’re taking up a special offering this Sunday for the family,” said Burley. “They are very important members of our church family and we’re doing everything we can to help them.”

The church is accepting donations but doesn’t have a full-time secretary.

People can call the church at 4971007 if they are interested in helping.

The family is receiving assistance from the American Red Cross, said

Soteria Brown, regional communications specialist for the Cincinnati/Dayton region of the American Red Cross.

“We are helping with the family,” said Brown. “We’re providing shelter, food and clothing.”

The fire started on Saturday around 3 p.m. According to Quincy Fire Department Chief Randy Keen, the cause of the fire is still under investigation by the Shelby County Investigation team.

“There is nothing fishy about the fire,” said Keen. “It was burnt so bad it was hard to tell exactly, which is why it is still undetermined.”

Fire crews from Shelby County, Port Jefferson and Maplewood were on the scene as well as tankers from Rosewood and DeGraff. Sparks also got into bean stubble near the home and firefighters monitored the area.

According to Keen, “It was small but with the way the wind was blowing we couldn’t take any chances.”

Perry-Port-Salem Rescue was also on the scene but there were no injuries. The family was home at the time of the fire.

Ohio safety forces’ study shows union concessions Ohio $350 million with wage freezes, furlough days and increased health care payments.

“The report shows that collective bargaining works,” said Fraternal Order of Police of Ohio president Jay McDonald.

Protecting Ohio’s Protectors is conducting multiple news conferences around the state on Tuesday and Wednesday to share the results of the report.

McDonald said workers made the concessions because they wanted to help during Ohio’s depressed economy. “When employees and employers sit down at the table together, we can solve problems,” McDonald said.

Collective bargaining is the practice of workers banding together in a union to negotiate with employers. The union works on behalf of its members to hash out details of salary, benefits, staffing requirements and other considerations with the employer.

Voters will decide on Nov. 8 whether the law limiting collective bargaining for public employees should be tossed out.

Chief upholds end to early voting COLUMBUS (AP) — Ohio’s elections chief says early voting won’t be allowed at county elections boards on the weekend before the Nov. 8 election.

Secretary of State Jon Husted has issued an advisory stating that

voters who want to cast an absentee ballot in person before Election Day will have to do it at their local elections office by 6 p.m. on Nov. 4.

Multiple media outlets report that a group of Democratic lawmakers had asked the Re-

publican Husted to lengthen early voting because the Friday cutoff is part of an election law that’s now on hold.

But Husted says the early voting deadline also was in another new law that will be taking effect, on Oct. 27.

COLUMBUS (AP) — Opponents of Ohio’s embattled new collective bargaining law rolled out evidence on Tuesday that they say shows public employees already have saved taxpayers more than $1 billion since 2008 by giving up raises and some benefits.

A report commissioned by Protecting Ohio Protectors — a coalition of police and fire unions — says state employees alone saved

CINCINNATI (AP) — Cincinnati financier Carl Lindner Jr., who used his experience running the family dairy store to build a business empire whose reach included baseball, banks and bananas, has died.

He was 92.

He died Monday surrounded by his wife, sons and other family members from causes related to age, said a statement Tuesday from his Cincinnati-based company, American Financial Group Inc. A person close to the family had told The Associated Press that Lindner had been taken to a hospital gravely ill Monday morning.

Lindner became controlling partner and chief executive officer of the Cincinnati Reds in a 1999 deal that ended Marge Schott’s rocky 15year reign as owner. In contrast to her grandstanding, Lindner stayed mostly in the background — save for a lasting memory in 2000 when he picked up Ken Griffey Jr. at the airport in his Rolls-Royce following the blockbuster trade. He sold his controlling share in the Reds in 2005.

Lindner was chairman of American Financial Group, a publicly traded financial holding company that had more than $17 billion in assets. In 2009, Forbes magazine estimated Lindner’s personal wealth at $1.75 billion,

NATION/WORLD BRIEFLY

Protesters plan march NEW YORK (AP) — The Occupy Wall Street protesters plan to march to the Manhattan district attorney’s office to demand an investigation into what they say was an “unprovoked assault” on a protester by police last week.

Activist Felix RiveraPitre was seen on video being punched by an officer on Friday. It was unclear in the video what preceded the punch.

The group says it will march to the DA’s office early Tuesday evening.

Rivera-Pitre’s lawyer, Ronald Kuby, tells The New York Times that prosecutors told him they were continuing their investigation into the incident.

U.S. deports 400,000 MIAMI (AP) — U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Director John Morton said Tuesday his agency deported nearly 400,000 individuals during the fiscal year that ended in September, the largest number of removals in the agency’s history.

Morton announced the Fiscal 2011 numbers in Washington, saying about 55 percent of those deported had felony or misdemeanor convictions.

Officials said the number of those convicted of crimes was up 89 percent from 2008.

Authorities could not immediately say how many of those crimes related solely to previous immigration violations.

Individuals can be convicted of a felony for returning to the U.S. or being found in the U.S. after being ordered by the government to leave.

Obama on bus tour N.C. JAMESTOWN, (AP) — President Barack Obama sought Tuesday to recapture some of the bipartisan appeal that helped get him elected, while using the opportunity to assail GOP lawmakers for blocking his jobs bill.

Appearing in politically important North Carolina to promote his economic measures and his re-election, Obama promised he would work with GOP lawmakers on any serious plan they put forward to help get Americans back to work.

“I’m not the Democratic president or the Republican president. I’m the president,” Obama said as the supportive crowd at a community college near Greensboro rose to its feet.

OUT OF THE BLUE

Death row dog missing ALBANY, Ore. (AP) — Blue the dog had spent his days locked up in the Albany Pet Hotel, waiting while his death sentence is appealed. Now police say someone climbed the fence at the hotel, smashed a window and helped Blue the dog escape death row.

Albany police Lt. Casey Dorland said Monday that the only thing reported missing from the kennel is the fugitive canine. Police believe he was taken sometime Sunday night or early Monday morning.

Blue was sentenced to die last fall after he bit a toddler, but his owner appealed. The dog has been housed at the pet hotel waiting for his case to be resolved.

Finally free Soldier traded for 1,000 prisoners TEL NOF AIR BASE, Israel (AP) — Looking thin, weary and dazed, Israeli soldier Gilad Schalit emerged Tuesday from more than five years in captivity, surrounded by Hamas militants with black face masks who handed him over to Egyptian mediators in an exchange for 1,000 Palestinian prisoners.

Israeli officials said Schalit showed signs of malnutrition and his father said he needed time to recover from psychological and physical wounds.

More than 450 Palestinians were transferred from Israeli prisons to the West Bank and Gaza, where massive celebratory rallies festooned with green Hamas flags were held.

In Gaza City, tens of thousands crammed into an open lot where a huge stage was set up, decorated with a mural depicting Schalit’s capture in a June 2006 raid on an army base near the Gaza border. The crowd exhorted militants to seize more soldiers for future swaps.

The rest of the prisoners — about 550 more — are to be released in a second phase in two months.

Before he was flown to an Israel air base where he was re-

united with his parents, Schalit spoke to Egyptian TV in an interview Israeli officials later called “shocking.” Looking gaunt and uncomfortable, Schalit struggled to speak at times, his breathing noticeably labored as he awkwardly answered questions. He said he felt good and was “very excited” to be going free.

Still, the circumstances of his release, along with the awkward TV interview, in which masked Hamas militants hovered in the background, raised questions about the conditions the 25-year-old had endured.

After a tumultuous day that included a reception with the prime minister, Schalit touched down in his hometown of Mitzpe Hila in northern Israel late Tuesday on board a military helicopter.

Thousands of people jammed the streets and stood on rooftops to celebrate Schalit’s return. The ecstatic crowd sang songs, waved Israeli flags, popped champagne bottles, embraced and cheered him on. A smiling Schalit briefly waved to the crowd before ducking into his family’s house.

Senate votes to end gun program WASHINGTON (AP) — The Senate voted Tuesday to effectively block the Justice Department from undertaking gunsmuggling probes like the flawed “Operation Fast and Furious” aimed at breaking up networks running guns to Mexican drug cartels but that lost track of hundreds of the weapons, some of which were used to commit crimes in Mexico and the United States.

The 99-0 vote would block the government from transferring guns to drug cartels unless federal agents “continuously monitor or control” the weapons. The amendment’s sponsor, Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, called the vote “just the first step towards ensuring that such a foolish operation can never be repeated by our own law enforcement.”

The Justice Department has already stopped the program.

A Justice Department official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because Congress did not ask the department for its views, said the amendment essentially reflects DOJ policy.

In an interview Tuesday with ABC News, President Barack Obama said “we will find out who and what happened in this situation and make sure it gets corrected.”

The vote came as the Senate debated a $128 billion spending measure that would fund Justice Department operations and those of several other Cabinet agencies for the 2012 budget year already under way.

Operation Fast and Furious was a gunsmuggling investigation by the Bureau of

Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives aimed at tracking small-time illicit gun buyers up the chain to major traffickers in an effort to take down arms networks. In the process, ATF agents lost track of many of the weapons.

Fast and Furious came to light after two assault rifles purchased by a now-indicted small-time buyer under scrutiny in the operation turned up at a shootout in Arizona where Customs and Border Protection agent Brian Terry was killed.

The operation has caused something of a firestorm in Washington and is the focus of an investigation by House Republicans, who have questioned whether Attorney General Eric Holder has been candid about all he knows about the botched operation.

Libyans close to total victory over forces BANI WALID, Libya (AP) — Revolutionary forces celebrated the capture of one Moammar Gadhafi stronghold and closed in Tuesday on the last holdouts in the fugitive leader’s hometown of Sirte, putting total victory in their eight-month uprising just a few city blocks away.

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton offered millions of dollars in new aid to Libya, encouraging the country’s unsteady new leadership to commit to a democratic future free of retribution.

“I am proud to stand here on the soil of a free Libya,” Clinton said on a visit to the capital, Tripoli. “The United States was proud to stand for you in your fight for freedom and we will continue to stand with you as you continue this journey.”

Although two months have passed since Gadhafi fled the capital, Libya’s new leaders have refrained from declaring national “liberation” until the

Revolutionary forces on Tuesday pushed from the east into the small pocket of the city under the control of Gadhafi loyalists and captured a vegetable market, though

they came under heavy fire from snipers and rocket-propelled grenades on the rooftops of residential buildings and homes along major streets.

Abdul-Hadi Ali, fighting with the revolutionary forces, said the battle for Sirte, 250 miles (400 kilometers) south-

east of Tripoli, was essentially finished so he was now returning home to the eastern city of Benghazi.

“The fighting in Sirte is nearly over,” Ali said, adding that the holdouts were surrounded in a narrow, twoblock area. “I think they have a lot of ammunition, but our fighters will fire Grads and get it over with so maybe tomorrow it will be liberated and bombed and we will begin the hunt for Gadhafi.”

In an apparent warning that Gadhafi could still threaten the new leadership if he continues to elude capture, Clinton acknowledged in unusually blunt terms that the United States would like to see the ousted dictator dead.

“We hope he can be captured or killed soon so that you don’t have to fear him any longer,” Clinton told students and others at a town hallstyle gathering in the capital.

Until now, the U.S. has generally avoided saying that Gadhafi should be killed.

Annual cancer screening tests urged less and less

BY MARILYNN MARCHIONE Associated Press Annual cancer tests are becoming a thing of the past. New guidelines out Wednesday for cervical cancer screening have experts at odds over some things, but they are united in the view that the common practice of getting a Pap test every year is too often and probably doing more harm than good.

A Pap smear once every three years is the best way to detect cervical cancer, the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force says.

Last week, it recommended against prostate cancer screening with PSA tests, which many men get every year.

Two years ago, it said mammograms to check for breast cancer are only needed every other year starting at age 50, although the American Cancer Society still advises annual tests starting at age 40.

Earlier this week, a large study found more false alarms for women getting mammograms every year instead of every other year.

“The more tests that you do, the more likely you are to be faced with a false-positive test” that leads to unnecessary biopsies and possible harm, said Dr. Michael LeFevre, one of the task force leaders and a professor of family and community medicine at the University of Missouri. “We see an emerging consensus that annual Pap tests are not required for us to see the benefits that we have seen” from screening, he said.

Those benefits are substantial. Cervical cancer has declined dramatically in the United States, from nearly 15 cases for every 100,000 women in 1975 to nearly 7 per 100,000 in 2008. About 12,200 new cases and 4,210 deaths from the disease occurred last year, most of them in women

who have never been screened or not in the past five years.

The cancer society and other groups say using Pap smears together with tests for HPV, the virus that causes cervical cancer, could improve screening. But the task force concluded the evidence is insufficient “to assess the balance of benefits and harms” of that.

Instead, more lives probably could be saved by reaching women who are not being adequately screened now, the task force says.

And despite what many people suspect, cost has nothing to do with the task force’s stance, its leaders said.

“We don’t look at cost at all. We really are most concerned about harms,” said Dr. Evelyn Whitlock of Kaiser Permanente Northwest’s Center for Health Research in Portland, Ore., who led an evidence review for the task force.

newspaper carriers have to pay for their own plastic bags and rubber bands. I save all the bags and rubber bands in one of the newspaper plastic bags, and about twice a year I return them to the carriers. They are grateful to be able to save a few of their hard-earned dollars. (Heloise here: Only return sleeves that are in good condition.)

My second tip is about a steel-wool soap pad.

Did you know it will not rust if, when you are through using one for a job, you rinse it lightly, squeeze and knead the steel-wool pad a bit until it is good and foamy, then put it on a plastic lid or bag to dry? This works to prevent rust as long as there still is soap to suds up the pad. — Victoria, via email

McHenry has close ties to agencies that organize and support screening, education, and research.

She is also very concerned about the caring for the environment.

“It really upsets me when people don’t take advantage of free recycling containers to reduce trash. And Dayton is sitting on one of the largest and cleanest aquifers in the country.

Our water supply is great, and we need to promote and protect it,” she said.

Her most recent focus is on helping to convince the White House to change its decision regarding the permanent home for the retired space shuttle Enterprise.

“The Enterprise was awarded to New York, and they haven’t even acquired the land on which they plan to build a museum,” McHenry said.

Waiting list spots available With all proceeds going to Compassionate Care of Shelby County, this event is officially a sellout. A waiting list has been started in case there are cancellations. Contact Deborah Wolfinger at 492-7145 to place names on the stand-by roster.

McHenry is encouraging others who want to see the Enterprise housed at the U.S. Air Force Museum in Dayton to follow the lead of a Columbus businessman, John Cavanaugh, who has started a petition to get the White House to choose Dayton. His petition requires 5,000 signatures by Oct. 30 for consideration.

To sign this petition online, go to www.wh.gov/45v, create an account with WhiteHouse.gov and sign the petition electronically.

Vectren Foundation donates to Gateway Arts youth series Gateway Arts Council has announced that its Youth Education Series will continue to entertain children with interactive opportunities in the fine arts, thanks to the Vectren Foundation.

“The Youth Education Series strives to preserve, promote and encourage the artist inherent within each of our children,” said Keyes. “In our youth programming, we offer the literary, theatrical and

Midmark introduces portable home sleep monitor VERSAILLES — Midmark Corp., a leader in digital diagnostic devices for ambulatory care, announced the launch of the Midmark SleepView Monitor and SleepViewSM Portal.

The Midmark SleepView Monitor is the market’s smallest and lightest portable home sleep monitor that meets the American Academy of Sleep Medicine’s recommended channel set for Type III monitors.

The Midmark SleepView Portal offers prescribing physicians secure, HIPAA compliant online access to regi s t e r e d polysomnographic technologists and board-certified sleep physicians who provide scoring, professional interpretation and treatment recommendations.

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a re-

peated interruption of normal breathing during sleep due to a collapse of the upper airway. It is estimated to impact as many people as asthma and diabetes, yet 85 percent of the population with the disease is undiagnosed and untreated.

“There is a real need in the healthcare industry to address this large and growing clinical concern,” said Tom Treon, senior product manager for Midmark. “We want to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of care for patients with OSA by providing another diagnostic option, which enables patients to be tested in the comfort of their own bed and convenience of their own home for a more natural night of sleep.”

OSA does in fact hold serious health and economic consequences. Numerous studies link OSA

to major chronic diseases such as stroke, heart failure, diabetes, obesity, hypertension and increased odds of serious car crash injuries. Economic studies have also shown that people with untreated OSA have 200 percent higher healthcare costs than similar people without OSA. Midmark has entered into a strategic partnership with Cleveland Medical Devices Inc. (CleveMed) for licensing of the SleepView technology. Established in 1990, CleveMed is a leader in sleep diagnostics technology with products serving sleep labs, institutional and home settings.

Emmy’s gains ‘Elite’ status MINSTER — Wedding Gown Preservation Company’s Elite Dealer status honors have been awarded to Emmy’s Bridal, of Minster.

The award goes to exceptional bridal shops nationwide. According to Michael Schapiro, president of Wedding Gown Preservation, “This exclusive recognition program is awarded to bridal shops who are showing incredible potential, as well as those who’ve demonstrated remarkable business acumen and relentless passion for all things bridal.”

Wedding Gown Preservation was founded in1913. Based in Endicott, N.Y., it has been professionally cleaning and preserving wedding gowns for almost a century.

“In the bridal business, becoming an Elite Dealer is an honor, considering the prestige and benefits that come with this ‘club’ recognition,” said Lori Rindler and Anne Puthoff, Emmy’s Bridal owners.

“We’re thrilled to receive an honor that acknowledges our bridal excellence,” Rindler said.

“We’re equally eager to implement some of the new marketing strategies and services they offer exclusively to Elite Dealers, and are pleased to extend a number of those benefits to our brides.”

Emmy’s Bridal customers will soon notice a new branding campaign and a gown “certificate of authenticity” program designed to add value to gowns purchased. Hangtags on the store’s gowns, plus handouts and other marketing materials, will communicate the specifics of the store’s program participation.

Brides who buy gowns from Emmy’s Bridal are able to have their gown cleaned and preserved by Wedding Gown Preservation Co. as a result of the relationship with the store. In doing so, brides get a 100-year guarantee that the process has been handled professionally.

“It’s exciting that we have a new way to help customers understand that the vendors we choose truly are special and that they’re spending their gown preservation dollars wisely,” said Puthoff. “Almost every bride wishes to preserve her gown, whether she simply wants it cleaned and preserved or because she’s saving it for a family member to wear.”

For more information, contact Rindler or Puthoff at (419) 6287555 or via email at info@emmysbridal.com.

Ready for winter Workers check out a tar-distributing truck’s condition during the Ohio Department of Transportation District 7’s annual winter-operationsreadiness event at the Shelby County Garage in Sidney recently. Shown (l-r) are Kenny Platfoot, of Coldwater; Mike Homan, of Covington; and Crystal Wolaver, of Fort Loramie. Mechanics pulled out a long line of trucks to get them in working condition for another Ohio winter.

Edison is ‘military friendly’ PIQUA — Edison Community College has been named by G.I. Jobs magazine as a “Military Friendly School”, ranking in the top 20 percent of all colleges, universities and trade schools nationwide.

In addition to receiving a plaque commemorating the distinction, Edison will also be listed in the 2012 Guide to Military Friendly Schools and a listing online at www.militaryfriendlyschools.com.

The selection was made from a recent survey and research compiled from more than 8,000 schools in the U.S. “We are proud to have achieved the Military Friendly School distinction for three consecutive years now, but are still working to ensure we are providing the highest level of support and success opportunity for America’s Finest,” said Scott Burnam, dean of enrollment services at Edison.

Burnam, who works closely with many of Edison’s veterans in his role as the school certifying official for veteran’s education benefits, under-

stands the benefits that both the college and service members receive in this continuing partnership.

“We work hard to ensure that our doors are wide open to prior and current military service members and their families, and that we provide an array of services designed to support the sometimes difficult transition from soldier to civilian to student,” Burnam said.

Edison has a long history of working with the men and women who have served in the armed forces. In addition to providing veteran-preferred classes that are designed to allow a cohort of veterans to attend classes as a group, the college also provides short-term counseling and appropriate campus and community referrals and academic advising that puts special emphasis on credit for skills gained in military services.

Edison also hosts a veteran student organization, America’s Finest, that hosts activities throughout the year for military service members and their families.

2 arrested on drug charges Two Sidney residents were recently arrested following a search of their residence by the Sidney Police Department.

On Friday at 9:30 a.m., officers executed a narcotics search warrant at 600 N. Main Ave. As a result of the search, police arrested Jesse White, 23 and Felicia Skeens, 19, both occupants of the residence. Evidence was recovered and White and Skeens were both charged with one count of trafficking in drugs, a felony of the fourth degree, one count of possession of criminal tools, a felony of the fifth degree, and one count of endangering children, a first degree misdemeanor.

Both were incarcerated at the Shelby County Jail.

During the search of the residence, police discovered what they believed to be marijuana,

instruments used for consumption of drugs of abuse, baggies used to package marijuana and digital scales.

This warrant execution is a continued effort by the Sidney Police Department to combat drug abuse and drug trafficking in the city of Sidney, police said. Information resulting in this warrant was derived from information received by concerned citizens.

All citizens are asked that if they have any information about drug activity in the city of Sidney to contact the narcotics detectives at 498-2351 or Crime Stoppers at 498-Tips.

Board member Bill Ankney understands the policy but believes that a better system is needed to be put into place to protect the district.

“I have a problem with how it’s not monitored or tracked,” said Ankney. “I don’t know how much lost revenue we may have had through all of the abatement processes.

I’d feel better about this if there was some kind of mechanism in place that the city could show that we haven’t lost anything in that process.”

Watkins did express that the abatement goes through an annual review process to make sure the company is complying with the agreement.

“Abatements are reviewed annually,” said Watkins. “If they don’t consistently make those, then the abatement can be rescinded.”

The board also: • Accepted the resignation due to retirement of J. Patrick Minick, custodian, effective Jan. 1, 2012.

• Approved the fiveyear financial forecast as presented by the treasurer.

• Approved the employment of the following on one-year limited, asneeded contracts: substitute teachers at a rate of $87.53 per day, Carol Breinich, Carroll Cutler, Jodi Danzig, Krystal Fitchpatrick, Robert Gril-

• Employed the following on one-year limited supplemental contracts, Kevin FrazierJones, auditorium supervisor, $1,525, Leslie Phlipot, yearbook adviser, $339, Ashleigh Ratermann, yearbook adviser, $339, and Brad Teague, assistant bowling coach @ Step 0, $1,355.

Cutting back on red and processed meats (hot dogs and other luncheon meats), losing weight, decreasing the fat in your diet, cutting back on alcohol consumption, increasing the amount of fruit and vegetables you eat and increasing dietary fiber are things that diminish the likelihood of colon cancer.

Area native finds life’s work on horseback Oen returns to Ohio to give clinic WAPAKONETA — You are 5 and your pony is standing at the gate, ready to run.

You have your family cheering you on and you smile because you know this is going to be your future.

Now you are an adult and you stand beside your truck and trailer and smile as you know you are about to go home and do what you do best, train horses. A former Ohioan is returning to Ohio to do a clinic in Belle Center.

Pete Oen, formerly of Wapakoneta, will be returning to Ohio on Friday to do a clinic at the Rittenour Equine Center, Belle Center.

He will have a meet-andgreet Friday night and on Saturday and Sunday, he will be working with horse owners from around the area to teach them more about their horses and how to work with the animals to be better barrel horses.

‘So excited’ “We are so excited to have Pete up here and doing this clinic,” said Kathleen Rittenour, of the Rittenour Equine Center. “I am especially excited about Pete coming up here because my heart is in barrel racing and I have always loved it. We knew he was coming back to Ohio for the All American Quarter Horse Congress to show and we took the chance he would say yes to doing a clinic for us.”

Rittenour, a native of Shelby County, said the clinic has been sold out.

“I am not surprised how fast the clinic filled up,” she said. “Pete is good at what he does. We added an auditing ticket so people could come in and watch. The clinic participants are bringing in their horses and Pete will be working with them and helping them with their horses.”

Oen grew up not far from the Rittenour Equine Center, outside Wapakoneta, on a small farm just off the Auglaize River.

Riding ‘all my life’ “I have been riding horses all my life,” Oen said. “I started before I think I was old enough to sit upright. My first horse was a pony that was a family handed me down named Midnight.”

Now living in New Iberia, La., Oen has decided to start his own business and train horses from all over the country. In the past he trained under different trainers and just recently decided he wanted to go out on his own: to open his own barrel-horse-training business and do things the way he wanted to. He has won nearly $100,000 on the horses he is riding and he has developed a fan club with two of his horses, Famous Blue Eyes and All Fame, No Bull.

“Almost nine years ago I moved to Oklahoma for business reasons,” said Oen, who has numerous relatives in Shelby County.

“Ohio is a great place to live, but it was just not ‘horse country’ to me. People move all the time from place to place because of work and that is why I moved to continue my career and that happens to be what I love, the training of barrel horses.

If opportunity knocks again I may have to move again.

“I started training my own horses at the age of 14,” Oen said. “The first horse that I trained went on to win the

PETE OEN’S horse, All Fame, No Bull, placed fifth in the first round of the futurity and fourth in the second round, receiving the Reserve Futurity Champion award in September.

“There are certain pedigrees that tend to have a more natural-born talent to be a winner in the barrel arena than others. Not saying it is all pedigree. For starters, you need a horse that is naturally balanced, agile on his/her feet and has a willing attitude to learn,” he said.

Going to the AQHA World Show and All American Quarter Horse Congress is something Oen has done more than a few times. When he leaves the clinic he will be ‘See a horse’s soul’ traveling to Columbus and “You can see a horse’s soul competing in the All Ameriby looking in their eyes,” said can Quarter Horse Congress.

He has already qualified for Oen. “A horse’s demeanor is the AQHA World Show, in key as well.

Palmer ALL-COUNTY CROSS COUNTRY TEAMS goes to Raiders 1st

ALAMEDA, Calif. (AP) — The Oakland Raiders made a bold move to replace injured quarterback J a s o n Campbell on T u e s d a y, trading two high draft picks to the Cincinnati Bengals for C a r s o n Palmer.

C o a c h Palmer Hue Jackson paid a high price to acquire a quarterback he knows well but who has struggled in recent years and refused to report the Bengals this season despite being under contract through 2014.

The Bengals had been adamant about not trading Palmer, who wanted to be dealt from a team that has had only two winning records in the last 20 years.

Owner Mike Brown repeatedly insisted he wouldn’t consider Palmer’s request for a trade because he didn’t want to reward him for holding out.

He changed his mind after the Raiders offered a 2012 firstround pick and a secondrounder in 2013 for the 31-year-old quarterback.

The Raiders (4-2) became desperate for a quarterback after Campbell broke his collarbone during a win over the Browns on Sunday. Campbell had surgery Monday and was expected to miss at least six weeks, leaving the Raiders with only Kyle Boller and Terrelle Pryor on the roster.

Jackson’s mantra all season has been “the time is now,” and he backed that up by dealing for Palmer, who is coming off a 20-interception season last year with the Bengals.

Brown said the play of rookie quarterback Andy Dalton made it easier to trade Palmer.

“We also find ourselves rather suddenly in position of being able to receive real value for Carson that can measurably improve our team, which is performing well and is showing real promise for this year and years to come,” he said in a statement. “When this opportunity arose, we felt we could not let it pass and needed to take a step forward with the football team if we could.”

Palmer, who had been working out in Southern California, already reported to the Raiders’ facility and will immediately start learning the offense. Oakland hosts Kansas City on Sunday and then has a bye week.

While Palmer has not played or practiced since last season, he has a history with Jackson, who was his offensive coordinator for two years at USC and the wide receivers coach for three seasons in Cincinnati.

Jackson was with the Bengals when Palmer had his best season in 2005 when he threw for 3,836 yards with 32 touchdown passes and a 101.1 rating while leading the team to an AFC North title. Palmer tore up his left knee during a playoff loss to Pittsburgh that season.

He came back and had two solid seasons before partially tearing a ligament and tendon in his passing elbow during the 2008 season. He has not been an elite quarterback since, despite getting back to the playoffs in 2009.

Over the past two years, Palmer completed 61.2 percent of his passes for 7,064 yards, 47 touchdowns, 33 interceptions and a passer rating of 82.9 while posting a 14-18 record.

Sidney turns tables on Fairmont Lady Jackets score winning goal with 32 second left in tourney opener The Sidney High girls soccer team turned the tables on Fairmont, and knocked the Lady Firebirds out of Division I tournament action with a 1-0 victory Monday night in the opening game of the postseason Hanayik at Sidney.

The Lady Jackets were seeded much higher than the Lady Firebirds, No. 6 compared to No. 13, but Fairmont had pinned a 4-2 loss on Sidney just last week.

“We had something to prove,” said Sidney coach Stacey Goffena. “We knew coming into the game that we had to play much better than we did against them last

week, and we needed to finish our shots. And while I thought we played better, we still could not finish in front of the net.”

She said the Lady Jackets missed 10 shots in the first half, with several of them right in front of the goal.

“We have to finish when given the opportunity,” she said.

Fairmont was able to do just that with only 1:13 left in the first half.

“Carolyn VanMatre (keeper) made an excellent save, but we were standing and watching, and lost our marks,” said Goffena. “So they were able to capitalize with the open net.”

The second half was back and forth, and the Lady Jackets had many more opportunities.

But the tying goal didn’t come until just 10 minutes remained in the game, when Taylor Rickert launched a corner kick and Monique Hanayik headed it in to tie the game up.

Hanayik was a question mark before the game because of sickness, but she took the field and came up big.

With only 32 seconds remaining in the game, Tina Echemann found Hanayik on a through ball up the middle, and Hanayik finished it off to give the Ldy Jackets a thrilling comefrom-behind victory.”

VanMatre finished with 15 saves.

“I can’t say enough about the fight in our team in the second half,” said Goffena.

“Having 10 seniors, they did

not want their season to end, and they played like it. I have two girls playing with injuries, one that was battling sickness and they all overcame that to play in the game.

It shows their competitiveness and dedication.”

The Lady Jackets, now 114-2 on the year, advance to the second round on Thursday, when they travel to No. 4 seed Springboro. The two teams battled to a 0-0 tie during the regular season game at Sidney.

Botkins’ season ends The Botkins Lady Trojans saw their season come to an end after a tough 2-1 loss to West Liberty-Salem in Division III tournament action Monday at West Liberty.

The Lady Trojans were the No. 8 seed and West Liberty the No. 6 seed.

Bengals take winning streak into bye week

The Lady Cavs defeated Bradford 25-5, 256, 25-9 to advance to the semifinals on Thursday against Xenia Christian.

Andrea Thobe had 10

kills and 14 assists, Paxton Hatcher and Morgan Schmitmeyer both had seven kills for Lehman, Ellie Cain 15 assists and seven aces, and Lindsey Spearman six aces.

• Houston saw its season end on Monday night after the Lady Wildcats lost to Southeastern in first-round action.

Southeastern won the game 25-16, 25-17, 2325, 25-20.

• Sidney High’s Lady Jackets finished the season with a 9-14 record after losing to Vandalia 25-12, 25-15, 25-16 in the first round of the Division I sectional tournament at Troy.

The loss snapped a six-game winning streak for the Lady Jackets.

CINCINNATI (AP) — Midway through October, the Cincinnati Bengals already have matched their win total from last season. They’ve won three in a row — their best such streak since 2009 — and they’re headed into the bye week feeling they can be a contender.

No one expected this from such a young team.

A 27-17 victory over Indianapolis on Sunday took the Bengals to a place that no one expected. They’ve rallied to win games in front of small crowds that reflect the lack of interest in a team with so much recent baggage.

“We’re going to get better,” offensive guard Bobbie Williams said.

“So it doesn’t matter what people think because we know what we can do.”

So far, they’ve proved they can win games with a combination of steady defense and just enough big plays out of a very young offense.

The defense was ranked No. 1 in yards allowed for two consecutive weeks, slipping to No. 3 after the game against the Colts. The Bengals ranked seventh overall in points allowed and haven’t given up more than 24 in any game.

The offense has been getting a little better each week with rookie quarterback Andy Dalton and rookie receiver A.J. Green leading the way. Green leads the team with 29 catches for 453 yards and four touchdowns. Dalton has thrown seven touchdowns and five interceptions, improving his passer rating to 84.3,

Will Series be a TV hit?

ST. LOUIS (AP) — A big star who’s overcome personal adversity. A popular band that everyone counted out. A crazy critter with a cute nickname.

Turn on the TV this week, and you can see top talent, neat plot lines and two loaded lineups.

So what’s it going to be: Sofia Vergara on ABC or “Criminal Minds” on CBS? Oh, the World Series?

That, too.

By any measure, the matchup of the Texas Rangers and St. Louis Cardinals that starts Wednesday night is a

nifty one. A totally unexpected pairing, boosted by sluggers Albert Pujols and Josh Hamilton and spiced by a Rally Squirrel.

But minus big-market teams, and at a time when TV ratings for baseball games are dwindling, this is the overarching question as the Series begins in the shadow of the Arch at Busch Stadium: Will anyone watch?

A Yankees cap turned backward on his head as he waited to pick up a fare in midtown Manhattan, cab driver Jay Javid of Brooklyn said he

“I’ll be watching cricket,” said Javid, who was born in Pakistan.

Milwaukee Brewers fan Andy Schaaf, who lives in Chicago, predicts poor television numbers.

“Terrible,” he said Tuesday. “I think they’ll probably be down because New York isn’t in it, Boston isn’t in it.”

“I think there’s a lot of people like me who’ll watch if it gets close late, but who won’t drop everything to watch Texas-St. Louis,” Schaaf added.

Loramie drops, but still in good shape

BY KEN BARHORST AND DAVE ROSS As expected, Fort Loramie did drop one spot in the Division VI, Region 24 computer rankings last week.

The Redskins played a team with just one win, while Marion Local was beating perennial power Coldwater. Marion has moved past Fort Loramie this week, but the Redskins are still in excellent shape.

Friday’s game between Anna and Versailles is a big one. If the Rockets are to have a chance at the postseason, this is a must-win game.

EXTRA POINTS Anna fell to 14th after last week, and that’s a lot of ground to make up in the final two weeks.

And the Minster Wildcats, who made it last year at 5-5, are 5-3 but down in eighth spot with a precarioous lead.

Minster should winFriday against Parkway, but has to end the season against Coldwater.

Once powerful Fort Loramie visits winless Dayton Jefferson on Friday night. It's been quite some time since the Broncos had a solid football team.

However, four decades ago they weren't just

good; they were dominant. From 1970-75 Jefferson ran off a then Ohio record of 49 straight wins under future Centerville coaching legend Bob Gregg.

How windy?

This past weekend was extremely windy, causing many coaches to call fewer passes than usual. There was at least one other casualty.

Kicking nets are normally raised between large poles at each end of Sidney Memorial Stadium but they weren't in use on Friday night.

Turns out that the wind was so strong and consistent that the nets couldn't be safely raised.

Big night for Mauk Catholic component both be in Division V but Kenton ran up 70 points in beating Celina 70-33 last week and quarterback Maty Mauk had another huge night.

He threw for eight touchdowns to add to his state record for career TD passes (189), and completed 31 of 46 passes for 486 yards.

Losing QB Braden Bilger of Celina threw for 348 yards and five touchdowns.

Quite a season-ender is brewing in the Western Buckeye League. In week 10, it will be Kenton at Wapakoneta. Both teams are 8-0 going into Friday’s action.

A priest offers a prayer over the public address before each Lehman home game and such was the case when public school Delphos Jefferson visited the Cavaliers in Sidney on Friday. That prayer begins and ends with the Catholic sign of the cross.

Many in the Jefferson crowd gave the sign and fully participated in the prayer, indicating a large Catholic presence. This was interesting because Delphos (population 7000) is also home to small school football power Delphos St. John's. The two used to

Browns dealing with more Hillis drama BEREA, Ohio (AP) — No matter the coast or the opponent, Peyton Hillis can’t seem to outrun the drama.

Cleveland’s running back, who since the season started has been involved in controversies surrounding contract negotiations with the Browns and his decision to sit out a game with strep throat, is again at the center of a mini-mystery surrounding an injury he sustained in Sunday’s game at Oakland.

Hillis is nursing a strained left hamstring, an injury Browns coach Pat Shurmur said happened on a carry in the first quarter of Sunday’s 24-17 loss to the Raiders.

An MRI taken Monday confirmed Hillis’ injury, and Shurmur said it’s too early to say he’ll miss this week’s game against Seattle.

“Those injuries can take a couple of days or they can take however long,” Shurmur said.

“But it’s a hamstring injury.”

OK, that much is clear.

Here’s where it gets a tad confusing.

Sunday, the On

CLEVELAND BROWNS running back Peyton Hillis runs the ball against Tennessee.

Browns did not announce Hillis’ injury until late in the third quarter, leading to speculation Shurmur was benching his player. As Hillis stood on the sideline holding his helmet, TV commentators wondered why Hillis wasn’t in the game when the (2-3) were Browns within striking distance and had planned to feature him against the Raiders.

So, coach, was Hillis hurt?

“That’s an easy one,”

Shurmur said Monday during his news conference. “You can be assured that he had a hamstring injury. That you can be assured.”

Later, in an attempt to clarify any vagaries surrounding Hillis’ injury, Shurmur unintentionally added new elements of uncertainty.

After Hillis got hurt, Shurmur said he was told by Cleveland’s trainers the bruising back was “only to be used in emergencies.”

And, Shurmur implied that Hillis, who returned to the game for two plays in the fourth quarter to help with pass protection, did so without permission.

“He just kind of ran back in there,” Shurmur said. “We knew that he was injured and he was just as a last resort he had to go in and play.”

Hillis came back in to second-year replace back Montario Hardesty, who struggled with his blocking and nearly got quarterback Colt McCoy hurt on a blindside blitz.

Shurmur later backtracked on his comments regarding Hillis’ unexpected return, saying he

was sent into the game

by Cleveland’s coaches.

“We were aware he went back on the field to pass protect,” Shurmur said. “He didn’t go out there on his own.”

Shurmur said he was unaware of the long delay between Hillis getting hurt and it being announced by the Browns’ public relations staff. At one point, reporters were told Hillis was not hurt.

“In the heat of the game, the last thing I’m thinking about is letting the press box know,” he said. “I don’t think there was anything to try to keep it from somebody.”

With talks between his agent, Kennard McGuire, and the Browns stalled on a contract extension, Hillis, who rushed for 14 yards on six carries Sunday, said last week he was worried about his future with Cleveland and beginning to wonder if he’ll get a long-term deal.

There’s no telling what may happen next, but Shurmur insisted the Browns are not shopping Hillis before Tuesday’s 4 p.m. trading

deadline.

“He’s not on the trading block,” Shurmur said.

Maybe so, but his reduced role in Cleveland’s offense — at least through five games — has fueled theories the Browns no longer value Hillis, who rushed for 1,177 yards and 11 touchdowns last season.

However, Shurmur said last week that Hillis would get the “bulk” of the carries against Oakland and that appeared to be the gameplan until he got hurt.

With Hillis out, and McCoy unable to throw the Raiders deep, stacked their defensive front to shut down Cleveland’s running game and blitzed constantly.

“We really wanted to feed Peyton early and often,” lamented Pro Bowl tackle Joe Thomas.

“When he came down with that injury early, you’ve kind of got to scramble a little bit, decide what you want to do going forward. Also a little bit of that was the way Oakland was playing us, they broke tendency.

Hillis was not available to the media on Monday as Shurmur changed the schedule for team meetings after the late-night flight back from the West coast.

Shurmur has already had to deal with a season’s worth of issues in his first five games as Cleveland’s coach.

And, Shurmur took the blame for the Browns “selling out” and trying to block a field goal in the third quarter only to be burned by a fake as the Raiders threw a 35-yard score.
