Quake strikes Turkey 7.2-magnitude earthquake kills 138 ANKARA, Turkey (AP) — Cries of panic and horror filled the air as a 7.2-magnitude earthquake struck eastern Turkey, killing at least 138 people as buildings pancaked and crumpled into rubble. The death toll was expected to rise as rescuers sifted through the rubble and
reached outlying villages. Tens of thousands fled into the streets running, screaming or trying to reach relatives on cell phones as apartment and office buildings cracked or collapsed. As the full extent of the damage became clear, survivors dug in with shovels or even their bare hands, desper-
ately trying to rescue the trapped and the injured. “There are many people under the rubble,” Veysel Keser, the mayor of the district of Celebibag, told NTV. “People are in agony. We can hear their screams for help.” Celebibag is near the hardest-hit area: Ercis, an eastern
city of 75,000 close to the Iranian border and on one of Turkey’s most earthquakeprone zones. The bustling city of Van, about 55 miles (90 kilometers) south of Ecris, also sustained substantial damage. Highways in the area caved in. The temblor struck See TURKEY/Page 5A

JOPLIN, Mo. (AP) — By all accounts, Mark Lindquist is a hero, an underpaid social worker who nearly gave his life trying to save three developmentally disabled adults from the Joplin tornado. Both houses of the Missouri legislature honored Lindquist, the Senate resolution calling him “a true hero and inspiration to others.” But heroism doesn’t pay the bills. The tornado’s 200 mph winds tossed Lindquist nearly a block, broke every rib, obliterated his shoulder, knocked out most of his teeth and put him in a coma for about two months.

Local residents had an opportunity to hear from the newly-named Shelby County Sheriff and the two candidates for Sidney Municipal Court judge during the Sidney Shelby County Liberty Group meeting Sunday afternoon. Shelby County Sheriff John Lenhart spoke first, telling the crowd of approximately 60, about changes he has made since being named interim sheriff after Sheriff Dean Kimpel accepted a suspension following his indictment on felony charges in both Shelby and Auglaize counties. Lenhart and Kimpel are both Republicans. Lenhart said he was “humbled” to be named to the position after what he said was “the first time in the state of Ohio a sheriff ’s term was set aside,” a reference to the first SDN Photo/Luke Gronneberg time Ohio Revised Code SecSHELBY COUNTY Sheriff John Lenhart takes a question during a Liberty Group Town Hall tion 3.16 has been used to susmeeting as Sidney Municipal Court judge candidates Duane Goettemoeller (left) and Jeff pend a sheriff from office.

STATE NEWS NEWS BRIEFS
Miami band to march in Macy’s parade OXFORD (AP) — One Ohio college marching band will get the chance to play before 50 million television viewers in this year’s Macy’s parade. The Cincinnati Enquirer reports that Miami University of Ohio’s marching band will play “Santa Clause is Coming to Town” on Herald Square as part of the Macy’s 85th Annual Thanksgiving Day Parade on Nov. 24. The band is one of 10 bands selected to perform, beating out 150 applicants. Miami’s is the only band from Ohio that made the cut. Athletic band director Stephen Lytle says the band will usher in the Santa Claus float at the end of the parade. This marks the second time the band has made the trip to New York City. They had also performed in the 2003 parade.
Schools opt out of weight, height law SANDUSKY (AP) — An Ohio law requiring schools to measure a child’s height and weight isn’t seeing much participation by districts statewide. The Sandusky Register reports that 687 school districts out of about 1,800 have opted out of measuring their students, including charter schools and some private ones. The law approved last June requires schools to take the measurements to calculate students’ body mass index, which is a snapshop of a person’s body fat. The results will be collected by the state Health Department and mailed to parents so they can see how their kids stack up. School officials say that approach to combating childhood obesity is questionable and the screenings are another unfunded mandate that should be left to family physicians.
Kasich continues push to preserve union law SHARONVILLE, Ohio (AP) — Gov. John Kasich told supporters during his sixth rally on Saturday that Ohio’s contested collective bargaining law would make the state more appealing to business. The Cincinnati Enquirer reports that just outside of the rally, 35 protesters were chanting “where are the jobs, John Kasich” and “stop the war on workers.” Some of the protesters tell the newspaper that they came straight from jail after being arrested in the Occupy Cincinnati protests. Opponents have placed a measure on the November ballot seeking to overturn the law, which limits the bargaining abilities of 350,000 teachers, nurses, firefighters, police and other public workers around the state. About 200 supporters rallied around the governor as they prepared to take their message door-to-door in Hamilton County over the weekend.
Trailer overturns on hayride, injuring 28 SANDUSKY (AP) — Authorities say a trailer carrying 30 to 40 people on a hayride overturned in northern Ohio when the tractor pulling it drove off the road, injuring 28. State Highway Patrol troopers say driver Michael Hermes had open alcohol containers and refused to take a sobriety test Saturday night. Police got a warrant to draw his blood for analysis. Hermes was booked into Erie County Jail and released on $10,000 bond. A message left at a phone number that appeared to be his was not immediately returned.
State cuts lead to levies COLUMBUS (AP) — Local bodies such as libraries and school boards say they have no choice but to ask voters for more money after Ohio’s budget cut their state aid. The Columbus Dispatch reports that voters statewide will decide nearly 1,100 requests for higher taxes in levies for everything from police and fire protection to parks and senior services. Voters are becoming wary of the continual requests for tax revenue.

Shuttlesworth eclipsed by King in life and death BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) — When a littleknown black Baptist preacher named Martin Luther King took the helm of the Montgomery, Ala., bus boycott in 1955, the Rev. Fred Shuttlesworth was already in Birmingham trying to start a movement, but nobody was paying attention. Shuttlesworth was from a small church. His credentials and pedigree made it easy for local whites to dismiss him as a radical. Until King came to Birmingham, Shuttlesworth couldn’t get the national press to recognize his city as the embodiment of the horrors of the segregated South. He was just another black preacher getting beat up, said former Atlanta mayor, congressman and United Nations ambassador Andrew Young, who worked alongside King and Shuttlesworth in the Christian Southern Leadership Conference.
All three men helped establish the organization in 1957. “They were sued together, they helped organize SCLC together,” Young said of King and Shuttlesworth. “He wanted the spotlight very much, but there wasn’t but one Martin Luther King.” It was King who won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964 and went on to become the icon of the civil rights movement. Shuttlesworth, who was overshadowed in life by his comrade in the movement, was again eclipsed by King in death. Though he died nearly three weeks ago, Shuttlesworth is only now being buried. The reason for the delay: The dedication of the King Memorial on the National Mall, sending most of Shuttlesworth’s civil rights colleagues to Washington last weekend. Had they not been there, they would have likely been in Birming-
ham remembering Shuttlesworth. “His friends and Martin’s friends were the same,” Young said. “But you don’t have two memorials at the same time if you want your friends come.” Shutto tlesworth’s funeral will be Monday. Among the scheduled events this weekend to remember Shuttlesworth were a pastoral remembrance at the historic 16th Street Baptist Church — where four black girls were killed in a bombing before Sunday services on September 15, 1963 — and a candlelight vigil across the street in Kelly Ingram Park, made famous the same year when news footage of policemen and firemen unleashing dogs and blasting water hoses on defenseless civil rights marchers was broadcast to a shocked international audience. Long before the television cameras arrived, Shuttlesworth was
there, organizing many such nonviolent protests. Shuttlesworth survived a Christmas 1956 bombing that destroyed his home, an assault during a 1957 protest, chest injuries when Birmingham authorities turned the hoses on demonstrators in 1963 and countless arrests. He moved to Ohio to pastor a church in the early 1960s, but returned frequently to Alabama for key protests. He came back to live in the Birmingham area after he retired a few years ago. “He was able to see how the civil rights struggle kept reinventing itself in different said Diane forms,” McWhorter, author of the Pulitzer Prize-winning book, “Carry Me Home: Birmingham, Alabama, the Climactic Battle of the Civil Rights Revolution.” “He was always there to make it clear that this was a continuous struggle.”
Pig statue hams it up in the limelight TOLEDO (AP) — What a ham. At age 65, weighing a hefty 950 pounds, Oreo squeals with personality. An art-in-the-yard legend, the local landmark has been photographed by passers-by thousands of times in the last 20 years. And why not? black-and-white A concrete porker, he pretty much does it all. He plows snow, rakes leaves, washes laundry. He skates. He bowls. He plays ball. And always, always, his outfits match his role-playing activities. Every Monday at 6 a.m., Harold Ridgeway of Waterville decorates his pig for the week, and truck drivers along with many area residents eagerly await the latest display of costumes and props, seasonal in nature and whimsical in detail. Fastened securely on Ridgeway’s front lawn along U.S. 24, this fine swine goes — what else? — whole hog. He doesn’t just show off his fishing hat, vest, and black boots during
walleye season, for instance. The pig totes a lunch box, bait bucket, fishing poles, and a net to scoop up the catch of the day. Ridgeway, 71, a Swanton High School shop teacher for 32 years, has stacks of letters from Oreo’s fans who thank him for keeping the slice-of-Americana tra-
dition alive. A popular guest speaker as a result of that tradition, Ridgeway delights in sharing the story of the statuesque pig that hogs the limelight. He had a speaking engagement Oct. 15 and 16, he judged an Oreo Halloween costume design contest during a
Pig Affair to Remember. Oreo refused to go; the event included — yikes! — a pig roast. “Oreo’s very upset about that,” said Ridgeway, who considers the pig part of the family. Easy, it is, to get attached to something that draws folks daily into your oh-so-public hobby.

Loretta Lynn in hospital ASHLAND, Ky. (AP) — Country music singer Loretta Lynn was hospitalized over the weekend with the early stages of pneumonia, according to a representative of the performer. The 76-year-old Lynn was scheduled to perform Saturday at the Performing Arts Center in Ashland, Ky. and Sunday in Durham, N.C., but the Kentucky center issued a news release saying she is in the hospital and would be unable to perform. The Kentucky theater says the show will be rescheduled.
Giffords in N.C. for therapy TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) — U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords is in North Carolina for two weeks of intensive therapy sessions as she continues to recover from a gunshot wound to the head. Giffords’ office says in a statement Sunday that the Arizona congresswoman is expected to spend time with a therapist who has worked with her in Houston for the last several months and has been extensively involved in her therapy. Giffords will work with the therapist from Monday through Nov. 4 in Asheville, N.C. No other specifics on her therapy were given.

Libya declared free But Gadhafi death questioned TRIPOLI, Libya (AP) — Libya’s interim rulers declared the country liberated on Sunday after an 8-month civil war, launching the oil-rich nation on what is meant to be a two-year transition to democracy. But they laid out plans with an Islamist tone that could rattle their Western backers. The joyful ceremony formally marking the end of Moammar Gadhafi’s 42-year tyranny was also clouded by mounting pressure from the leaders of the NATO campaign that helped secure victory to investigate whether Gadhafi, dragged wounded but alive out of a drainage ditch last week, was then executed by his captors. The circumstances of Gadhafi’s death remain unclear. In separate accounts late Sunday, two Libyan fighters said Gadhafi was hurt after being captured, but was able to stand. One said that when he and others placed Gadhafi in an ambulance, the former Libyan leader had not yet suffered what Libya’s chief pathologist said was a fatal gunshot to the head. Critics said the gruesome
spectacle of his blood-streaked body laid out as a trophy for a third day of public viewing in a commercial freezer tests the new leadership’s commitment to the rule of law. Britain’s defense secretary, Philip Hammond, said the Libyan revolutionaries’ image had been “a little bit stained” by Gadhafi’s violent death. Both he and U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said a full investigation is necessary. Gadhafi’s capture and the fall of his hometown of Sirte, the last loyalist stronghold, set the stage for the long-awaited declaration of liberation, delivered by the head of the National Transitional Council, Mustafa Abdul-Jalil. He did not mention the circumstances surrounding Gadhafi’s death — mobile phone videos showed the wounded leader being taunted and beaten by a mob after his capture. But he urged his people to avoid hatred. “You should only embrace honesty, patience, and mercy,” Abdul-Jalil told a flag-waving crowd of several thousand at the declaration ceremony in the
eastern city of Benghazi, the birthplace of the uprising against Gadhafi. Abdul-Jalil laid out a vision for a new Libya with an Islamist tint, saying Islamic Sharia law would be the “basic source” of legislation, and that existing laws that contradict the teachings of Islam would be nullified. He outlined several changes to align with Islamic law, including putting caps on interest for bank loans and lifting restrictions on the number of wives Libyan men can take. The Muslim holy book, the Quran, allows men up to four wives. Abdul-Jalil thanked those who fought and fell in the war, saying they “are somewhere better than here, with God.” Displaying his own piety, he then stepped aside from the podium and knelt to offer a prayer of thanks. Using Sharia as the main source of legislation is stipulated in the constitution of neighboring Egypt. Still, Egyptian laws remain largely secular as Sharia does not cover all aspects of modern life.

It’s a twin delivery BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (AP) — Two identical twins in Indiana now have another birthday in common: They delivered babies on the same day at the same hospital. The Herald-Times reports 21-year-old Jessica and Jennifer Patterson gave birth Wednesday at Indiana University Health Bloomington Hospital. Jennifer Patterson gave birth first to a girl, Adalynn Rose Patterson, who was born with a collapsed lung but is now doing fine. Eight and half hours later, Jessica Patterson gave birth to a boy, Mason Douglas Patterson, by cesarean section. Jennifer Patterson calls the same-day births “kind of cool.” Both women live in the tiny Lawrence County town of Judah.
Libya’s revolt erupted in February as part of anti-government protests spreading across the Middle East. Islamist groups stand to gain ground in neighboring Tunisia and Egypt, which shook off their dictators several months ago. Tunisia has taken the biggest steps so far on the path to democracy, voting Sunday for a new assembly, while Egypt’s parliamentary election is set for next month. Libya’s struggle has been the bloodiest so far in the region. Mass protests turned into a civil war that killed thousands and paralyzed the country. Gadhafi loyalists held out for two more months after the fall of the capital of Tripoli in late August. Gadhafi’s hometown of Sirte fell last week, but Gadhafi’s son and one-time heir apparent, Seif al-Islam, apparently escaped with some of his supporters. The anti-Gadhafi forces enjoyed strong Western political and military support during their revolt, especially from the U.S., Britain and France, and NATO airstrikes were key to their victory.

Shark kills American CANBERRA, Australia (AP) — The sudden death of an American diver in the jaws of a great white shark off Australia’s southwest coast has raised the specter of a rogue man-eater preying on a renowned aquatic playground and killing three men in two months. Scientists say three sharks more likely are responsible, and the three cases are sheerly unfortunate encounters with nature. Australia’s southwest corner has been better known for whale and dolphin-watching cruises, white sandy beaches, world-class surf breaks and the peppery shiraz of its Margaret River premium wineries than for fatal shark attacks. The latest was Saturday when American George Wainwright was attacked while diving solo off a boat near Rottnest Island, a few miles from the city of Perth in Western Australia state.

PEOPLE TRY to save people trapped under debris in Tabanli village near the city of Van after a powerful earthquake struck eastern Turkey Sunday, collapsing some buildings and causing a number of deaths, an official said.
TURKEY at 1:41 p.m. (1041 GMT; 6:41 a.m. EDT), the U.S. Geological Survey said. Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said at least 93 people were killed in Van, 45 others died in Ercis, and about 350 were injured. Several people were still trapped under rubble, he said, without citing any estimates. Erdogan said rescue work would continue through the night. Up to 80 buildings collapsed in Ercis, including a dormitory, and 10 buildings collapsed in Van, the Turkish Red Crescent said. The sheer number of collapsed buildings gave rise to fears that the death toll could rise substantially. U.S. scientists recorded over 100 aftershocks in eastern Turkey within 10 hours of the quake, including one with a magnitude of 6.0. Authorities advised people to stay away from damaged homes, warning they could collapse in the aftershocks. Residents in Van and Ercis lit campfires, preparing to spend the night outdoors while the Red Crescent began setting up tents in a stadium. Others sought shelter with relatives in nearby villages. Rescue efforts went deep into the night under generator-powered floodlights. Workers tied steel rods around large concrete slabs in Van, then lifted them with heavy machinery. Residents sobbed outside the ruins of one flattened
From Page 1 eight-story building, hoping that missing relatives would be found. Witnesses said eight people were pulled from the rubble, but frequent aftershocks hampered search efforts. By late evening, some joy emerged as a ninth, a teenage girl, was pulled out alive. Erdogan urged residents to stay away from damaged buildings and promised assistance to all survivors. “We won’t leave anyone to fend for themselves in the cold of winter,” he said. Around 1,275 rescue teams from 38 provinces were being sent to the region, officials said, and troops were also assisting search-and-rescue efforts. In Ercis, heavy machinery halted and people were ordered to keep silent as rescuers tried to listen for possible survivors inside a seven-story building housing 28 families, NTV reported. Some inmates escaped a prison in Van after one of its walls collapsed. TRT television said around 150 inmates had fled, but a prison official said the number was much smaller and many later returned. Nazmi Gur, a legislator from Van, said his nephew’s funeral ceremony was cut short due to the quake and he rushed back to help. “We managed to rescue a few people but I saw at least five bodies,” Gur told The Associated Press. “It was such a powerful temblor. It lasted for
such a long time,” “But now we have no electricity, there is no heating, everyone is outside in the cold,” he added. Authorities had no information yet on remote villages but the provincial governor was touring the region by helicopter and the government sent in tents, field kitchens and blankets. The earthquake also shook buildings in neighboring Armenia and Iran. In the Armenian capital of Yerevan, 100 miles (160 kilometers) from Ercis, people rushed into the streets in fear but no damage or injuries were reported. Armenia was the site of a devastating earthquake in 1988 that killed 25,000 people. Sunday’s quake caused panic in several Iranian towns close to the Turkish border and caused cracks in buildings in the city of Chaldoran, Iranian state TV reported. Leaders around the world conveyed their condolences and offered assistance. “We stand shoulder to shoulder with our Turkish ally in this difficult time, and are ready to assist,” U.S. President Barack Obama said. Israeli President Shimon Peres telephoned Turkish President Abdullah Gul to offer assistance. “Israel shares in your sorrow,” Peres said in a statement. “Israel is ready to render any assistance that may be required anywhere in Turkey, at any time.”
MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — War veteran Bill Jamison fought back tears during the Sunday dedication of a memorial honoring the Memphis Belle, the storied B-17 bomber that flew 25 crucial missions over German-occupied Europe in WWII. Jamison and about 80 other people watched the unveiling of the monument depicting the 10-man crew standing in front of the historic airplane, which survived the war and spent 59 years in Memphis before being moved in 2005 for restoration at the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force in Dayton, Ohio. It sits with other military statues and memorials at Veterans Plaza in Overton Park and also features a statue of longtime Memphis resident Margaret Polk shielding her face as she looks up at the sky. The airplane’s pilot, then-Lt. Robert Morgan, named the Memphis Belle after Polk, who was his sweetheart before he deployed for war. Jamison, 80, and other members of the Memphis Belle Memorial Association spent years working to restore the bomber while it was in Memphis. Her symbolic return in the form of the monument drew emotions from some in attendance who fought to keep the Belle in Memphis. “It’s a dream come true,” said Jamison, an Army veteran who served in the Korean War. “I cried when the plane left. In fact, I’ve got tears in my eyes, now.” Built by Boeing, the Belle was one of the first B-17s to complete its 25 missions over German-occupied Europe. It flew at a time when heavy bombers often flew without fighter escorts. The bomber had a painting of a leggy woman on its nose, in honor of Polk. Morgan chose the artwork from a 1941 illustration in Esquire magazine, according to the Air Force. Polk, a lifelong Memphis resident, died in 1990. Morgan, of Asheville N.C., died in May 2004. The two split up shortly after Morgan’s return from Europe. After the Belle’s final mission in May 1943, its crew came home for a nationwide bondselling tour, cementing it as a wartime symbol of courage and sacrifice. Younger generations learned about the bomber from the 1990 movie “Memphis Belle.”

OSGOOD — Don and Linda Meier, of Yorkshire, will celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary Nov. 6 at an open house from 1 to 4 p.m. at the Osgood Legion in Osgood.

Library to host UFO program Area residents can find out the details of local UFO sightings at the presentation, “Out of this World: UFO Sightings and Investigations,” at the Amos Library Saturday at 1 p.m. Thomas Wertman, chief field investigator of the Mutual UFO Network of Ohio, will speak about how he became interested in UFOs and later involved with and conducting investiga-
tions for two organizations: The Mutual UFO Network and the Cleveland UFOLOGY Project. Rather than focus on cases such as Roswell, the presentation brings to light both old and new cases around Ohio. All the cases featured in the presentation are not unknowns. One that reached international attention by way of MSNBC and Fox News demonstrates the use of
photo analysis, flighttracking software, and good old-fashioned teamwork in the field. While major events attract most of the publicity, a number of other cases may receive no attention and be more interesting, according to Wertman. Several cases occurred in Canton during the winter of 2009-2010 when a number of individuals reported seeing triangular craft.

Wertman is an educator with a Bachelor of Science in business and a Master of Science in education. He has an extensive background in a number of subjects including computer-aided drafting, electronics, metallurgy and manufacturing techniques and computer skills in numerous software programs. The presentation is free.

TO THE EDITOR
Schools challenged To the editor: On a recent sightseeing trip to Indian lake, I was surprised to see a wind turbine generating electricity on the campus of Indian Lake High School. I would like to issue a challenge to the science students at our three high schools, Lehman, Christian Academy and Sidney High. Where is yours? It will not be an easy project. First, where would you locate it on your campus? Next, you would use anemometers to measure wind speeds at various locations on the campus. Choose ones that have analog outputs and then feed that to an analog-todigital converter. That digital information would be stored on a computer 24/7. Write computer programs that will render graphic outputs indicating wind speed and duration. Next, submit those readings to the various wind turbine manufacturers to see if you have a viably commercial wind site. If the answer is positive, check with the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio to make sure there are mandatory feed-in tariffs for renewable energy inputs to the grid at your location. Do you need permits to construct a turbine site? What is the cost of the chosen turbine generator and how much will it cost to build and maintain it? Calculate the costs of the initial investment and the payback period. What will be the net savings per year after the project is paid for? What is the life cycle of the generator and its components? “ I’ll leave it up to you if you want to consider how many bugs and birds it will kill if they fly into the durn thing. They run into my trees and house, so should I knock them down? Larry Grieshop 3408 Thompson-Schiff Road
Support street repair To the editor: As a longtime resident of Sidney, I have always taken pride in our community and encouraged both locals and visitors to take advantage of our beautiful town. We have so much to be thankful for, including our historic neighborhoods, nature trails, recreation parks and recent streetscape improvements around the beautiful courthouse and downtown district. In order to enjoy those assets, one needs to travel on the 114 miles of streets throughout the city. Those streets are heavily traveled and have suffered wear and tear the last couple of years. Recent ice and snow events have been very damaging to the asphalt surfaces. If left unattended due to lack of revenue, the street conditions will only get worse and it will cost even more when we can afford to fix them. In the meantime, my vehicle and yours will take the brunt of potholes and gravel infill. Residents of Sidney can make a choice to turn this around by voting “yes” on Nov. 8 to repair our city streets. The 0.25 percent levy is only for five years and the revenue is restricted to the construction and reconstruction of our streets, alleys, bridges and curbs and gutters. I urge everyone to take ownership of our community’s appearance and make the necessary changes to our streets. See you at the polls on Nov. 8. Vote “yes” to the street repair levy. Charles R. Craynon 2129 Broadway Ave.
Tax needed for streets To the editor: To the readers of the Sidney Daily News: I urge you to get out and vote on Nov. 8 for the city of Sidney 0.25 percent income tax levy. This fiveyear tax levy will generate sufficient funds to repair approximately 40 miles of streets over the next five years. The funds will be restricted for the streets, alleys, bridges (city only), curbs and gutters. If you are on Social Security, pension and retirement income, this tax will not affect you. On the bright side, you will get the enjoyment of driving on improved and safe streets. The older generation has built this community to be a great place to live, work and raise a family. It is time for the next generation to take over the responsibilities and keep our community vibrant. Now is the time to bite the bullet, dig a little deeper into the pockets and pass this temporary income tax levy for our streets. Your support of the 0.25 percent income tax levy on Nov. 8 is the answer. Farel Kaplan 808 Evergreen Drive.

unless that worker opts out. Automatic enrollment has proven quite successful in helping lower-income and younger workers start to save — two groups that historically have not participated in a retirement savings plan. Surveys show that auto-enrollment boosts employee participation by nearly 30 percent compared to plans without that option. We need to continue to promote automatic enrollment by making it easier for more employers to move to this model of retirement plan. We also need to address the serious problem of cumbersome and confusing regulations in the retirement area. I have proposed legislation that would require government agencies to seek input from the public and fully consider economic burdens before proceeding with any new regulation. And recently, I urged the current administration to withdraw a costly new regulation proposed by the Department of Labor — the so-called “fiduciary” rule — that could effectively limit access to investment guidance for middle-income savers and make it harder for small businesses to set up retirement plans. As we move forward, existing policies must be re-examined to eliminate rules that discourage small businesses from setting up retirement plans.
Market uncertainty With the uncertainty of the stock market, historically low interest rates and high unemployment rates, American families are worried about their financial security — only 13 percent of workers are confident in their capacity to live comfortably throughout their retirement years, according to the EBRI study. Our work on retirement security has been helped to alleviate those concerns in the past, but there is clearly more that can and should be done in a bipartisan way to incentivize the savings and investment education needed to ensure a secure retirement and peace of mind in our golden years.

Vets shared lives
Back Beigel for judge
To the editor: Emotional is the one word I would choose to describe my recent trip to Washington, D.C., Sept. 2325. As I traveled to Washington with the Vets to D.C. group, I became acquainted with individuals I had never met — we formed an immediate bond. We could talk freely about various aspects of being in the military and were confident that our audience truly understood what we experienced, i.e. prisoners of war, fear, homesickness, the emotion caused by separation of family and loved ones for years. Then on Saturday we toured the monuments intended to honor those who served and protected our great country. As we viewed those monuments, a hush came over our group; there were those who shed tears as I’m quite sure they were taken back in time recalling the sacrifices that were made by them individually, those of their families and those of their unknown comrades. I appreciate all of you “heroes” for your generosity in sharing your lives with us. Jim Barton 111 W. Lyndhurst St.
To the editor: This is to urge you to vote for Jeff Beigel for Sidney Municipal Court judge. I have known and done business with Mr. Beigel for several years. More recently, I have worked with him in his capacity as assistant prosecutor. Jeff certainly has all of the necessary legal credentials and experience to serve as judge. Even more importantly, however, he has the appropriate personal characteristics and unquestioned integrity that it takes to run the court in an efficient and impartial manner. In serving on Jeff’s campaign committee, I have marveled at his dedication, his work ethic, his organizational ability and his unfailing good humor under the stress of a rigorous campaign. Also, to my pro-life friends, Mr. Beigel is a strong believer in the sanctity of life at all stages and a confirmed conservative on both social and fiscal issues. I am very pleased to recommend Jeff Beigel to you as our next Municipal Court judge. Dennis York 3233 Russia-Versailles Road Russia
Beigel will be asset To the editor: I am writing to express my enthusiastic support for Jeff Beigel for Municipal Court judge. I have known Jeff for nearly 40 years, first as classmates in the Sidney City Schools and now as an adult. I have always known Jeff as intelligent, thoughtful and highly capable in any endeavor he has taken on. Having left Sidney for college, he chose to return to Sidney to start a career and raise a family with his wife, Lorie. He is a gifted attorney and will be an asset to the community as Municipal Court judge. Please join me by voting for Jeff Beigel for Municipal Court judge on Tuesday, Nov. 8.

However, optimal dates to plant some will take a chance begin on the Hessian fly- because they feel the rosafe date and typically tational value of wheat is extend to two weeks after as important or they that date. The next two have a contract to meet. weeks can see a sudden For whatever reason, decline in a wheat crop’s there are a few guidepotential yield. Three lines to follow to help weeks after the fly-free give a late-planted wheat
crop the best chance of yielding well and being profitable. Late-planted wheat can suffer from reduced winter survival and reduced tillering. Because of this, the standard recommendation is to increase seeding rates by 30 percent or to plant 1.6 to 2 million seeds per acre. I hesitate to give a recommendation for seeding rates in bushels. Not all bushels are created equal. When I calia drill for brate late-planted wheat, I look for about 23 to 29 seeds per foot of row. It requires traveling a hundred feet or so, stopping the tractor and getting dirty, but it is worth it. We don’t have time to replant this year. Late-planted wheat should be seeded at 1.5 inches deep.
Fertility programs should not be altered drastically with lateplanted wheat. The essential point for any fertility program is to apply according to a soil test. If your phosphorus level is above 45 ppm, you should not apply phosphorus fertilizer for wheat. If it is below that level, an appropriate amount of fertilizer based on the soil test and crop needs should be applied. If nitrogen is applied in the fall, it should not be greater than 20 to 30 pounds. Remember to follow best management practices for applying fertilizer. If you need a refresher in best management practices, visit the Fertilizer Institute’s 4 R’s of nutrient a p p l i c a t i o n http://www.nutrientstew-
ardship.com/. With a rush to get wheat into the ground, weed control may suffer. A strong burndown may require up to 10 days of waiting. This year the aim of weed control should be marestail. Most fields had some level of marestail. If they didn’t have any, they were adjacent to a field that did. A burndown application of glyphosate + Sharpen will help control emerged marestail. If no marestail is emerged, keep scouting. After wheat has emerged, options for the fall are limited and fairly expensive for control of marestail. Huskie and Cleansweep M will control a wide variety of broadleaf weeds, including marestail if applied in the fall. One of the cheapest options may
be a single application of 2,4-D in the spring with nitrogen fertilizer. This combined with marestail’s poor competitive abilities compared to wheat can help keep it in check. Remember, never apply 2,4-D to wheat in the fall. If you still plan on planting wheat this year, be sure to increase your seeding rate and control that marestail! Also, after the wheat comes off next July, be ready for a strong herbicide program to manage marestail. This includes combinations like glyphosate + 2,4-D, glyphosate + Ignite or 2,4-D + dicamba.

Measurement FSA offers measurement service to requesting producers. A base rate of $30 plus $16 for the first hour on the farm will be charged. A fee of $8 will be assessed for each additional half hour. This could include measuring grain bins, structures, etc., and ground measurements for conservation programs and other field acreage determinations. Safe access must be provided to each storage structure(s). A request for this service should be submitted in a timely manner to allow field reporters sufficient leadtime to complete this action.

What kind of day will tomorrow be? To find out what the stars say, read the forecast given for your birth sign. For Tuesday, Oct. 25, 2011 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Relations with partners and close friends might be a bit stilted or formal today. People are hiding their emotions or they're nervous about something. (Don't push things.) TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Someone older might be critical of you at work today. For others, today's celestial influence could create stiffness in their joints. Fortunately, this is short-lived. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Children might seem to be a burden today, or perhaps your responsibilities seem to be more serious. That's just what happens at times. (It goes with the territory.) CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Discussions about family matters will be serious today. Quite likely, a parent or an older relative will raise objections to your ideas. (This might be because this person is more conservative.) LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Don’t fall into worry mode today. Remember: “Worry is like a rocking chair. It gives you something to do, but gets you nowhere.” VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Financial matters look bleak today. (You probably feel broke.) If shopping, you'll buy long-lasting, practical items. It's one of those days when you feel you should be frugal and careful with your money. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Relations with others are a bit stiff today because, emotionally speaking, people feel shut down. That's because
the Moon is close to Saturn, and Saturn can be a big wet blanket. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) If you work alone or behind the scenes today, you will be the most productive. Relations with others will simply be a distraction. (You'll welcome some seclusion.) SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Don’t let others rain on your parade today, because this is what some people want to do. What do they know? Someone older or more experienced is reluctant to see new ways of doing things. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) People in authority are not keen to jump on a new bandwagon today. Quite the opposite — they want to stay safely with the status quo. (That’s their comfort level.) AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Work-related travel is likely today. This is a good day to study any subject, because you feel seriously obligated to meet your responsibilities. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) This is an excellent day to tackle red-tape details about inheritances, taxes, debt, insurance matters and shared property. You want to wrap up loose ends. YOU BORN TODAY You are intelligent and imaginative. When you use these powerful talents, you know how to take control of a situation. Others see you as dependable and extremely solid, in part because you're well-organized and know how to “clean up a mess.” You like to be selfsufficient and independent. Work hard to build or construct something this year. Your rewards will soon follow. Birthdate of: David Furnish, filmmaker; Katy Perry, singer; Ciara, singer.

ELECTION
AP Photo/The Joplin Globe, t. Rob Brown, File
IN THIS Oct. 3 photo, Mark Lindquist, of Joplin, Mo., is embraced by his sisters, Vehrlene Crosswhite, left, and Linda Baldwin, just before being released from the Missouri Rehabilitation Center in Mount Vernon, Mo.
‘MIRACLE’ Lindquist, 51, ran up medical expenses that exceed $2.5 million, and the bills keep coming. He requires 11 daily prescriptions and will need more surgery. But he has no medical insurance. Lindquist couldn’t afford it on a job paying barely above minimum wage. He assumed workers’ compensation would cover his bills, but his claim was denied “based on the fact that there was no greater risk than the general public at the time you were involved in the Joplin tornado,” according to a letter to Lindquist from Accident Fund Insurance Company of America, his company’s workers’ comp provider. That reasoning has angered Lindquist’s family, employer, even lawmakers. “I think they need to take another look at the circumstances and revisit the claim,” state Rep. Bill Lant, R-Joplin, said. “What he did went beyond heroics.” Lindquist watched the skies darken on the evening of May 22 while on his way to the group home occupied by Mark Farmer, Rick Fox and Tripp Miller, three middle-aged men with Down syndrome. Soon after he arrived, a tornado siren began to blare. Lindquist’s employer, Community Support Services, had recently put workers through a tornado drill, so Lindquist and co-worker Ryan Tackett knew what to do. Because there was no basement or shelter and the residents moved too slowly to relocate, Lindquist and Tackett placed mattresses over the men for protection, then climbed atop the mattresses for added weight. It seemed like little more than a precaution until Lindquist heard the unmistakable roar of the twister. “I told Ryan, ‘If you’ve ever prayed before, now is the time to do it,’”
From Page 1
he said. The EF-5 tornado was among the nation’s worst ever. It destroyed more than 7,000 homes, including the group home, and killed 162 people. Among the dead were Farmer, Fox and Miller, a fact that still haunts Lindquist. “I loved them almost as much as I love my own kid,” he said. Lindquist’s survival defies logic. After the storm, rescuers found Lindquist buried in rubble, impaled by a piece of metal. Large chunks of flesh were torn off. Bones from his shoulder crumbled as they placed him on a door used as a makeshift stretcher. He was later delivered to Freeman Hospital. M e a n w h i l e , Lindquist’s sister, Linda Lindquist Baldwin, his son, 12-year-old Creed, and other relatives contacted every hospital within 100 miles of Joplin searching for him. None of the unidentified matched Lindquist’s description. His injuries were so severe that his slender, athletic body had become swollen and unrecognizable. He was in a coma. Finally, after three days, he was identified by tiny brown flecks in his hazel eyes. Doctors told Baldwin that if Lindquist survived, it likely would be in a vegetative state. Even in a best-case scenario, he likely would be blind in one eye, never regain use of his right arm, and never speak or think normally, she was told. Things got worse. Debris that got into the open sores caused a fungal infection, one that killed five other Joplin tornado victims. Lindquist overcame the fungus but remained at Freeman until June 16. Still in a coma, he was flown to a hospital in Columbia for a little over a month before being sent to a rehab center in Mount Vernon where he awakened.
“I owe you,” Lenhart said, explaining why he took the reins of sheriff again. “No place else could a country boy farmer be where I have been.” Lenhart was speaking about a career in which he previously served as the Shelby County sheriff for five terms, served as the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation and Identification superintendent and with the Ohio Attorney General’s Office as assistant attorney general for law enforcement. “I didn’t like what I saw and I know you didn’t,” Lenhart said, speaking about the Kimpel situation. Lenhart, 66, responded to comments about his age, stating, “I feel like I’m 39 … I don’t think the good Lord put us on this earth to coast.” “I hit the ground running,” Lenhart said of his first days in office. The changes Lenhart has made are resulting in financial savings, “$320,000 different than when I took office.” Lenhart said he received positive reactions from staff at the sheriff’s office on his first day and from area police chiefs. Lenhart got a bill for $4,289 on his first day in office for work on two humvees purchased by Kimpel. Lenhart said he had no idea what to do with them. But he said he has spoken to another sheriff who may be interested in them. Lenhart said he and the sheriff “may do some horse trading.” “We shut down mandatory overtime,” Lenhart said. He noted two captain’s positions are not going to be filled, which he said, will save $164,305. A corrections officer has also resigned. Lenhart is looking at other areas to save money and cut costs. “Right at 40 percent of the total county budget” goes to the Sheriff’s Office, Lenhart said. “I’m not going to go back to the commissioners and cry boo-hoo about not having any money,” Lenhart said. Lenhart responded to a question about a lack of deputy coverage in the Kettlersville area. Lenhart said the person and anyone else with similar concerns should call him. “We’re on the mend,” Lenhart said. “The majority of the people down there (sheriff ’s office) are good people.”

Attorney Jeff Beigel, Republican candidate for Sidney Municipal Court judge spoke next. He shared his background, including having been an attorney for more than 20 years, handling a variety of cases. He currently works in the Shelby County Prosecutor’s office as an assistant prosecutor. Beigel and his wife, Lori, are the parents of two children. “You’re not going to see a lot of mud slinging,” Beigel said about the campaign against Judge Duane Goettemoeller. He said that is due to the judicial code of conduct. “I spent a significant amount of time in Municipal Court,” Beigel said. He explained that a lot of Shelby County Common Pleas Court cases begin in Municipal Court. “My values are generally conservative,” Beigel said. “My judicial philosophy is a conservative one.” Beigel said he has advocated for work release programs and house arrest as alternative sentencing possibilities. Those programs result in little cost to the community, Beigel said, but noted, “we have a jail for a reason. I will not hesitate to use it.” Beigel talked about House Bill 86, which will change sentencing and other aspects of the correctional system. He
noted that theft of more than $500 was previously a felony, but will now be a felony if it is more than $1,000. (Municipal) “The Court will need the right person,” Beigel said. “I believe I am the right candidate.” Judge Duane Goettemoeller, a Democrat, appointed as Sidney Municipal Court Judge when Judge Donald Luce retired, served as an assistant prosecutor in the Shelby County Prosecutor’s office and as a former assistant Shelby County Public Defender and former city of Sidney assistant prosecutor. Goettemoeller and his wife, Melody, are the parents of three children. “I did all the things Jeff (Beigel) said he did, except I’ve done them a little longer,” Goettemoeller said. Goettemoeller grew up on his family’s farm. “I had to shovel the corn at age 9.” He said he got in trouble if he dropped the corn, because it was considered wasteful. “What I think I really learned was common sense.” deGoettemoeller scribed Municipal Court as a “mix” of “Judge Judy” and “Night Court.” “My sentencing policy … anybody can make a mistake,” Goettemoeller said, adding, “come back (to court) and you’ll get more of my attention.” Goettemoeller said
next year’s budget will be “somewhere below $206,000,” which he said is a “pretty significant” drop. Local resident Ray Lazier asked the judge candidates if unemployment affects sentencing, when they can’t pay fines or meet other obligations of the court. “Yes and no,” Beigel responded. “You want to fashion remedies to make sure they get the message. Sometimes you can’t pay the fine,” but they might be eligible for community service. Goettemoeller said he has “a lot more community service sentencings” to work off fines and costs. “I have people that are underemployed” and “barely able to put food on the table.” “If they’re working, I pay attention to that,” Goettemoeller said. “Most of our citizens are good people,” Goettemoeller said. But he added, he spends the majority of his time dealing with the 2 percent that get in trouble. On Nov. 3, “Sheriff Mack” of Arizona will speak at the Sidney Shelby County Liberty Group meeting. He is an Arizona sheriff. The organization is looking for people to walk precincts on Saturday. Those interested are asked to meet at the former Ponderosa Steakhouse on Michigan Street at 12:30 p.m.

The loss left the Cavaliers 3-6 on the year after their third straight setback. They will conclude the regular-season Friday night at playoffbound Fort Loramie. Waynesfield running back Gabe Hennon carried the load for the Tigers, scoring three of his team’s four touchdowns, including the first score of the game on a handoff from quarterback Garrett Miller rushing four yards up the middle. That made it 6-0 just two minutes into the opening quarter. With 10 minutes left in the second quarter, Lehman scored on a safety at Hennon's expense, as Lehman lineNick Cummons backer brought him down in the endzone, making it 6-2 Waynesfield. But just before halftime the Tigers would answer once again as quarterback Miller connected with Eli O’Leary for a big 94-yard touchdown pass, leaving Lehman in a little hole trailing, 12-2 at the half. The third quarter gave Lehman some hope as quarterback Dan Davis hooked up with Drew Westerheide on a 15-yard pass to edge the Cavs closer on the scoreboard, but still trailing 12-8. Hennin scored from a yard out to make it 18-8, butLehman came back when Davis connected again, this time to Joe Vondenhuevel from 56 yards out. The Cavs converted on the two-point try, Davis hitting Kristopher Lee for an 18-16 score. But Hennon was too much
MIAMISBURG — It was a tough way to lose and a tough way to end the season for the Sidney High boys soccer team Saturday. The Jackets, the No. 11 seed in the Division I Sectional, faced Miamisburg, the No. 6 seed, in their first action of the postseason after taking a first-round bye. The two teams needed not only overtime, but penalty kicks to decide the issue, and Miamisburg emerged with a 2-1 win to advance to the sectiona championship. “In the first half, we really played well,” said Sidney coach Eric Harlamert. “We led 1-0 at the half, and they came out and really turned up the pressure on us in the second half. But we held our own, and the tying goal they got was really a fluke. It wasn’t a shot at all.” Sidney held a 1-0 lead at the break thanks to Chris Farrell picking up a cross and left-footing it past Miamisburg’s goalie. The goal that tied the score came when Miamisburg was trying to cross the ball. The cross bent toward the goal and was out of reach of the Sidney keeper, hitting the crossbar and going in to tie the game up at 1-1. That’s how regulation ended, and neither team was able to score in the two 15minute overtimes. That resulted in the game being decided by penalty kicks. Each team converted on their first three PKs, but Sidney missed its fourth after Miamisburg converted, and when the Vikings connected again on their fifth PK, the game was over. “It was a real good and intense game,” said Harlamert. “I really thought we outplayed them and deserved to win.” Sidney finishes the season with a 6-9-2 record. Miamisburg advances with a 12-4-2 record. “I thought we did a good job of improving as the season CLEVELAND (AP) — In went along,” Harlamert 13 turbulent seasons with the added.

The Cavs were edged by the Tigers 26-24. as he added another touchdown, a four-yard surge through the Lehman line, to make it 26-16. Davis for Lehman was not quite through, however, as he threw a perfect ball in the hands of Andrew Adams, then kept the ball on a two-point try to cut the lead to 26-24. But that was as close as the Cavs could come. The Cavs got the ball back after forcing Waynesfield into a three-and-out, but Waynes-
field picked off its second pass of the game to preserve the win. “Im proud that we fought back in the second half. We made it a really good game," said Lehman coach Dick Roll. Lehman had 304 yards of total offense, 175 was through the air in large part to Davis. Waynesfield had 330 total yards as the night was really controlled more by defense.

CLEVELAND BROWNS kicker Phil Dawson (4) kicks a 53-yard field goal out of the hold of Brad Maynard (7) in the fourth quarter against the Seattle Seahawks in an NFL football game on Sunday in Cleveland. The field goal proved to be the game winner in the Browns 6-3 win. the Seahawks moving at all. Making matter worse, Seattle was penalized eight times, and its biggest play was called back by a penalty as Leon Washington’s 81-yard punt return for a TD in the third quarter was nullified by a blocking-in-the-back infraction — one of several mistakes the young team made that annoyed coach Pete Carroll. “It was a very difficult loss,” said Carroll, who also had some issues with referee Mike’s Carey’s crew. “The guys took it hard. It was really close. The margin of error became a factor that amplified every call and every play. Un-
fortunately, we couldn’t get enough going to get the win.” Carroll didn’t blame the officials, but he wants to take a closer look at a few calls. “When a game is this close, a call can make a difference,” Carroll said. “Whether they did or not, we’ll see the film and take a look. In this game, those calls are magnified. I kind of hope they’re right, to tell you the truth. I hope they made the right choices because it’s pretty hard to live with if they didn’t.” Dawson’s 53-yard field goal with 11:18 left gave the Browns a 6-3 lead, and the 36year-old was set to give Cleve-
land a six-point lead but his 24-yard attempt with 3:05 left was swatted away by Seahawks defensive end Red Bryant, who earlier blocked a 48-yarder in the first quarter. However, Seattle couldn’t move the ball as Whitehurst had four incompletions and had a pass dropped on the Seahawks’ final possession. In the final minute, a frustrated Bryant was ejected for head-butting Cleveland tight end Alex Smith. “Dumb move on my part,” Bryant said. “I take full responsibility for it. I’m supposed to be a leader. I lost my composure.”

holding up a cheesy piece of evidence. “Well, I’ve never heard of roasting a pizza over an open fire,” one of the other invaders said. And when Felix looked at him, he could see the reflection of the campfire in his eyes. Felix thought it looked like pure evil. “Hola! Would you like some pizza?” Karol tried to be friendly. “And we also have licorice!” Felix offered. “Well, the way I see it, we’ll just take whatever we want,” Evil Eyes said. “And I don’t think there’s anything you can do to stop us.” “Perhaps I should warn you,” Hector said, trying to copy a ninja pose he saw in a movie. “I am a black belt.” “Oh, really?” the bullies challenged Hector. “Why don’t you show us your best move?” Hector swallowed hard and tried to remember some ninja moves, but the three visitors didn’t seem all that impressed. They squinted their eyes, clenched their fists and moved toward the three explorers. Right then, a Jeep pulled up and a woman wearing a green uniform jumped out. She had a clipboard and a long, metal flashlight, which brightly lit the whole campsite. “What are you niños up to?” she asked. “You know you can’t build a fire out in the open like that. This is a national park!”
The Brass Bell Written by Cathy Sewell and illustrated by Blaise Sewell of The Curriculum Closet Chapter Four: The Ninja in the Forest “The Coronado expedition set up their winter camp of 1540-41 in Tiguex, which is near p r e s e n t - d a y Albuquerque, New Mexico. A brutal war broke out between Coronado’s men and the native Americans.” – Coronado and the Golden Cities Sounds of footsteps and breaking branches scared the friends, and all three froze. Their silhouettes looked like a trio of oddly-shaped cactus plants. “Who, or what, is that?” Karol whispered. “I don’t know, but it sounds big!” Hector whispered back loudly, grabbing a thick stick sitting nearby. The sounds came closer and closer. Karol slid over by Felix and they all peered into the darkness, straining to see what was about to invade their camp. “Hey, I smell pizza!” a loud voice said as three strange boys jumped out from behind a large tree. “How did you get them to deliver all the way out here?” “Nobody delivered it. We just stuck the thawed slices onto our roasting sticks, see?” Hector said proudly,

“Sorry, ma’am,” Felix said, throwing dirt over the fire. “We were just hungry and a little cold.” “That’s OK. Just make sure you follow park rules,” she said, handing a typed list to Felix. “And is that you, Max?” she asked the evil-eyed boy. “Your mom is gonna have your hide. Does she know where you are? Get in the Jeep – I’m taking you three home!” “Yes, Tia Maria,” the boy said sheepishly. Before whisking away the bullies in her all-terrain vehicle, the ranger jotted down the names of the three young explorers, promising to let their parents know where they were camping. “Wow, that was close!” Karol said, after the uninvited guests disappeared over a hill. “I was scared.” “Not me!” Hector said. “I was just about to release some ninja terror on them!” “Yeah, thankfully you didn’t have to hurt them!” Felix winked at Karol. They both knew that Hector was just as scared, but he’d never in a million years admit it. They decided to let the ninja keep his pride. Soon after, they all settled into their sleeping bags, trying to get close to the remnants of the fire for warmth. But Felix kept thinking

about Eduardo and his little “accident,” so he kept his distance from the fire. He fell asleep with his hand clasped around the bell. The next morning, the three friends packed up their bags, buried the last remaining embers of the fire and set off toward Gallinas. They had trail mix and licorice for breakfast. “So, where is this gold you speak of?” Felix asked, in his best conquistador voice. “I told you, it’s in Gallinas, and we’re almost there,” Hector said, walking ahead of Felix and Karol. He rubbed the gold coin he had hidden in his pocket for luck. As they walked into Gallinas, Felix’s excitement grew. “Now we’ll find a golden treasure, just like Coronado!” “What did he find on his expedition?” Karol asked Felix. “Um, I don’t know. I haven’t actually gotten that far in the book yet,” Felix said, a little embarrassed. Little did the three explorers know, Coronado never found any gold. In fact, he was sometimes referred to as the “cursed” conquistador.

News stories provide the facts readers need to be informed citizens and make decisions. • To interpret the news. Newspapers also explain the meaning of what’s happening. Stories that preview upcoming events, such as a leader’s press conference, or analyze events after they occur, help interpret the news. So do political columns and editorials on the Editorial Page. Interpretive stories and columns often contain the opinions of the writer. • To provide a service.

BRETT ZONGKER Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — Thousands of people spanning all ages and races honored the legacy of the nation's foremost civil rights leader during Sunday's formal dedication of the new Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial in Washington. Aretha Franklin, poet Nikki Giovanni and President B a r a c k Obama were among those atwho tended the more than four-hour ceremony. King's children and other leaders spoke before the president, invoking his “I Have a Dream” speech and calling upon a new generation to help fully realize that dream. Some in the crowd arrived as early as 5 a.m., and the crowd eventually overflowed beyond the park gates. Some women wore large Sunday hats for the occasion. The president arrived late morning with his wife and two daughters, which drew loud cheers from those watching his entrance on large screens. Cherry Hawkins traveled from Houston with her cousins and arrived at 6 a.m. to be part of the dedication. They postponed earlier plans to attend the August dedication, which was postponed because of Hurricane Irene. “I wanted to do this for my kids and grandkids,” Hawkins said. She expects the memorial will be in their history books someday.“They can say, 'Oh, my granny did that.'” Hawkins, her cousin DeAndrea Cooper and Cooper's daughter Brittani Jones, 23, visited the King Memorial on Saturday after joining a march with the Rev. Al Sharpton to urge Congress to pass

Graphic Designer: Scarlett E. Smith
Did You Know? • a roll of newsprint is 10 miles long and weighs 2,650 pounds • the base ingredient in newspaper in is soybeans • the white space between columns of print is called the alley • a syndicate is an organization that distributes columns or features such as comics or advice columns to many different newspapers • if you draw an inverted triangle over the first paragraph of a news story, you should be able to find the answers to the questions who? what? when? and where? within the sentence or sentences indicated by the triangle.
Writing Prompt: Newspaper Article Newspaper articles require a different style of writing from what is used when writing a story. When writing a newspaper article, picture a downward pointing triangle. The newspaper article has all of the important information in the opening paragraph. This information includes who, what, when, where, why and how. It is written this way because most people do not read an entire newspaper article all the through. So newspaper writers put the most important information at the beginning. A typical newspaper article contains five (5) parts: Headline: This is a short, attention-getting statement about the event. Byline: This tells who wrote the story. Lead paragraph: This has the who, what, when, where, why and how in it. A writer must find the answers to these questions and write them into the opening sentence(s) of the article. Explanation: After the lead paragraph has been written, the writer must decide what other facts or details the reader might want to know. The writer must make sure that he/she has enough information to answer any important questions a reader might have after reading the headline and the lead paragraph. This section can also include direct quotes from witnesses or bystanders. Additional Information: This information is the least important. Thus, if the news article is too long for the space it needs to fill, it can be shortened without rewriting any other part. This part can include information about a similar event.
