Man injured in Auglaize County farm accident dies WAPAKONETA — A rural Wapakoneta man injured in an Oct. 13 farm accident has died of his injuries.

William Berg, 71, 13870 Kohler Road, died of his injuries Sunday at 5:40 p.m. at St. Rita’s Medical Center in Lima, where he had been transported by LifeFlight helicopter after the incident on family-owned farmland at 12759 Kohler Road.

The Auglaize County Sheriff ’s Office said Monday that, while the investigation of the incident has not yet been closed, there is no cause to believe it was more than simply an accident.

Berg was injured as he and a family member deputies still would not identify, were working on a seeder be-

hind a tractor that apparently was having functional problems.

The investigation indicates after Berg repaired the seeder, the driver pulled out thinking the area was clear and completed another row before realizing Berg had been run over.

Neither deputies nor the hospital indicated what type of injuries Berg suffered.

A lifetime farmer, Berg was a former chairman and a current member of the National Corn Growers Association’s Grower’s Service Action Team.

New Knoxville first responders and St. Marys Emergency Medical Service also responded to the accident scene.

HENSLEY

From Page 1

pronounced dead at 5:53 p.m. Sept. 21.

Hamlin was serving a sentence out of Cuyahoga County for burglary, breaking and entering, and theft.

Hensley currently is serving a life sentence at the Toledo facility for the 1999 murders of Sheri Kimbler, 16; Tosha Barrett 16; Amy Mikesell, 14; and Brett Wildermuth, 37.

A four-day manhunt in July 1999, following the murders, ended in Hensley’s surrender after a short standoff with police at a Sidney gas station in which he had held three hostages at gunpoint for 1 1/2 hours. Shortly before the standoff, Hensley also shot a Shelby County man driving along Interstate 75.

Hensley was convicted of four counts of aggravated murder, three counts of kidnapping and three counts of attempted aggravated murder.

Hensley also has a conviction for a 2007 felonious assault inside the prison.

The latest incident is currently under investigation by the Ohio State Highway Patrol.

NFIB ‘I Built It’ bus tour to roll into Sidney The National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB), the state’s largest smallassociation, business will have a business promotion event Friday at 11 a.m. at Sollmann Electric, 310 E. Russell Road.

The “I Built It” bus tour is visiting seven states “to promote voices of the men and women of Main Street and amplify the role of the small-business community in the nation’s economy,” NFIB officials said.

Several local smallbusiness owners, including Sollmann Electric owner Denny Sollmann,

will highlight their individual stories on how they built their business and what the smallbusiness owners in the area do for their communities.

U.S. Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Urbana, 4th District, and state Reps. John Adams, R-Sidney, 78th District, and Jim Buchy, R-Greenville, 77th District, will speak regarding the role small business plays in the national economy and in Ohio.

The NFIB is encouraging its members and their employees to get out and vote on Nov. 6 to do big things for small business in this election.

47 districts cleared in datatampering probe COLUMBUS (AP) — State Auditor Dave Yost says no additional irregularities in attendance and enrollment practices have been found in the second round of his statewide data-tampering probe.

Yost’s office reviewed 81 buildings in a sampling of 47 districts with fall levy questions and found no evidence that any had scrubbed the rolls.

The Republican auditor said Tuesday he was “surprised and pleased” by the finding.

Yost is investigating whether schools removed poor-performing students from the books to improve performance ratings that can affect government payments and employee bonuses. The review was launched in response to unusual practices discovered in Columbus, Toledo and suburban Cincinnati districts.

Five districts that used questionable attendance methods were identified in the first round.

Tuesday’s announcement is the final update in the investigation until after the election.

Riverside FFA members create outdoor classroom DEGRAFF — Members of the Riverside High School FFA have created an outdoor classroom in the school courtyard where junior and senior high teachers and students may hold classes.

Students in the agricultural structural engineering constructed a 16-by-20-foot pergola in the courtyard. The class first learned about calculating board feet, structural design and terminology in their class. After the classwork, students applied their knowledge by constructing the pergola.

Riverside FFA students had to layout and square up the framing of the pergola before any construction could be done.

State Rep. Alicia Reece had called on Norton Outdoor Advertising to take down the billboards, which warn “Voter Fraud Is A Felony!”

Reece, a Cincinnati Democrat, said Tuesday that the company and the anonymous foundation responsible for voter-fraud messages agreed to remove the billboards.

Obama stresses swing state Ohio’s importance

Ryan to deliver speech on helping middle class

BY PHILIP ELLIOTT Associated Press

DAYTON (AP) — President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden underscored the importance of swing state Ohio on Tuesday in a rare joint appearance at a rally in Dayton.

Facing a tight race in the pivotal state, Obama urged supporters to recruit friends and make phone calls for him to help him carry their home area and Ohio. He said they can make a difference if they help him get out of the vote.

“We’ll win Montgomery County again, we’ll win Ohio again, we’ll win this election,” Obama said, drawing cheers of “Four more years!”

The Democrat carried Ohio over Republican John McCain in 2008 and has campaigned in the pivotal state frequently, while his campaign and its supporters have devoted heavy portions of spending and time there.

Biden also stressed the state’s key voters at an earlier stop.

“We win Ohio, we win

WASHINGTON (AP) — Republican vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan is preparing to explain to low-income voters how he and Mitt Romney would do more to help them than President Barack Obama.

The Wisconsin congressman planned to outline the GOP presidential ticket’s case during a speech Wednesday at Cleveland State University in political crucial Ohio. With two weeks to go until votes are counted, Ryan’s trip to an urban campus suggests Romney’s campaign is looking for any vote still available.

No Republican has won the White House without carrying Ohio.

Aides said Ryan’s formal remarks would focus on upward mobility for millions of people looking for work and those struggling to get by on their current paychecks. For instance, that includes highlighting Romney’s plan for more educational choices for parents and a strengthened safety net for people who need assistance.

To middle-class voters, Ryan was expected to argue that Washington is spending too much and that Obama’s economic policies have not done enough to fix a struggling economy.

Ryan, a fiscal hawk and the top budget writer for House Republicans, planned to compare that record to Romney’s proposal that he says would create 12 million jobs and help workers take home more of their paychecks.

PRESIDENT BARACK Obama takes the podium after being introduced by Vice President Joe Biden at a joint campaign rally Tuesday at Triangle Park in Dayton. the election. Folks, we need you,” Biden told about 1,500 people in Toledo.

Christy Watkins, 58, arrived several hours early for the Dayton rally, which fire officials estimated drew about 9,500 people.

Wearing an Obama Tshirt and button, she said she felt good about the president’s chances in Ohio. “I’m not listening to the polls too much,” she said. “I don’t

get into that kind of thing.”

Republican Mitt Romney’s campaign says he has been gaining in Ohio with two weeks left until Election Day. A Quinnipiac University/CBS News poll released Monday put Obama ahead with 50 percent to Romney’s 45 percent in Ohio, down from a 10-point lead in a Sept. 26 survey.

The margin of error for the poll conducted Oct. 17-20 was plus or minus

2.5 percent.

“Romney’s picking up momentum. You can just see it,” said Scott Jennings, his Ohio state campaign director. Jennings said the campaign has a powerful “ground game,” reaching millions of voters with door-todoor canvassing and phone banks.

“There is just no comparison in the state to COLUMBUS (AP) — 2008,” Jennings said.

Elections chief: 1.6 million Ohioans using early voting

School execs left trips, expenses off reports COLUMBUS (AP) — Some Ohio education officials who state documents show omitted trips and other expenses from their required ethics reports say they were surprised by the revelations.

The oversights were identified as part of an internal review that the Ohio Department of Education launched after then-State Superintendent Stan Heffner was targeted in a state watchdog probe.

Letters obtained by The Associated Press through a records request indicated nine current or former executives failed to properly disclose trips to locations including

Washington, D.C., San Diego, and Orlando, Fla., and other expenses on financial disclosure reports since 2009.

Among the nine were Michael Sawyers, acting state superintendent, and John Stanford, chief education adviser under former Gov. Ted Strickland.

Stanford and Sawyers failed to include a Race to the Top meeting in Washington, D.C., in September 2010 on required reports, according to the letters. Then-deputy superintendent Marilyn Troyer and then-chief operating officer Francis Pompey also omitted the same meeting from their required ethics filings.

Stanford, now chief operating officer for Columbus City Schools, said the omission came as a sur-

prise to him.

“The trip in question was the trip that the U.S. Department of Education required all states that received a Race to the Top grant to attend,” Stanford said.

“My take on it was that either I forgot to include it because it was at the end of our four-year term, or I may have been advised that because we (the Governor’s Office) were the grantee it didn’t need to be listed,” he said. “I don’t recall. It was so long ago.”

Troyer also failed to include several other trips on her form, according to the documents. They included $1,120 in expenses for an April 2009 trip to San Diego for an American Association of Colleges

Police: 3 killed in murder-suicide LANCASTER (AP) — Authorities in central Ohio say three people — including an off-duty police officer — were killed in a murder-suicide shooting overnight.

Police in Lancaster, southeast of Columbus, said in a statement that 38year-old Stephanie Adams and 56-yearold Randy Bartow were found inside the woman’s home early Tuesday and pronounced dead at the scene.

Lancaster police Chief Dave Bailey said authorities believe 40-year-old

Kevin Adams fired the shots. He was found alive but died shortly afterward at a hospital.

All are believed to have died from gunshots.

Police say Kevin and Stephanie Adams were granted a divorce in May. Bailey said Bartow, who lived in nearby Logan, was an off-duty Lancaster police officer. He said Bartow had been on the force since 1993 and was “a very popular and successful officer.”

NATION/WORLD TODAY IN HISTORY

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Today is Wednesday, Oct. 24, the 298th day of 2012. There are 68 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Oct. 24, 1962, a naval quarantine of Cuba ordered by President John F. Kennedy went into effect during the missile crisis; the blockade was aimed at interdicting the delivery of offensive weapons to the island.

On this date: ■ In 1537, Jane Seymour, the third wife of England’s King Henry VIII, died 12 days after giving birth to Prince Edward, later King Edward VI. ■ In 1648, the Peace of Westphalia (west-FAY’lee-uh) ended the Thirty Years War and effectively destroyed the Holy Roman Empire.

■ In 1861, the first transcontinental telegraph message was sent

by Chief Justice Stephen J. Field of California from San Francisco to President Abraham Lincoln in Washington, D.C., over a line built by the Western Union Telegraph Co. ■ In 1901, widow Anna Edson (correct) Taylor became the first person to go over Niagara Falls in a barrel.

■ In 1939, Benny Goodman and his orchestra recorded their signature theme, “Let’s Dance,” for Columbia Records in New York. Nylon stockings were first sold publicly in Wilmington, Del. ■ In 1940, the 40-hour work week went into effect under the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938.

■ In 1945, the United Nations officially came into existence as its charter took effect.

■ In 1952, Republican presidential candidate Dwight D. Eisenhower declared in Detroit, “I shall go to Korea” as he promised to end the conflict.

(He made the visit over a month later.)

■ In 1962, “The Manchurian Candidate,” a Cold War thriller starring Frank Sinatra, was first released.

■ In 1972, Hall of Famer Jackie Robinson, who’d broken Major League Baseball’s color barrier in 1947, died in Stamford, Conn., at age 53.

■ In 1987, 30 years after it was expelled, the Teamsters union was welcomed back into the AFLCIO. (However, the Teamsters disafilliated themselves from the AFLCIO in 2005.)

OUT OF THE BLUE

One jailed in chain saw attack TURBOTVILLE, Pa. (AP) — A Pennsylvania man is behind bars after police say he went after his housemate with a chain saw.

Seventy-six-year-old Guy Allen Black is being held on $100,000 bail after allegedly cutting through a door at the home he shared with Ronald Lee Tanner and swinging the chain saw at him.

State police say Black became irate after Tanner changed the locks on the home he owns in Turbotville, Northumberland County.

Black allegedly entered the house through the basement and used an ax and chain saw to cut through an interior door before chasing Tanner outside.

Investigators say the saw got stuck on Tanner's shirt and jammed, allowing Tanner to pin Black down with an umbrella.

With election near, Romney moderates foreign policy views

BY KASIE HUNT Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — Mitt Romney abruptly moderated his foreign policy positions in this week’s debate on issues like ending the war in Afghanistan and averting another conflict in Iran, hoping to neutralize one of President Barack Obama’s main strengths with the election only two weeks away. But the move toward the political center comes with potential pitfalls.

By abandoning several of his sharpest criticisms of Obama from the past several months, Romney risks upsetting some conservatives and reinforcing the allegation — levied repeatedly by the president on Monday night — that his positions lack conviction and leadership.

His aim was to appear sober and serious, a plausible commander in chief, by not engaging in saber-rattling for political points. By narrowing the gap between his positions and those of Obama, he also may have succeeded in giving undecided voters, particularly women, the impression that he would lead a war-weary America into another conflict only reluctantly.

Romney aides said both the tone and substance of their boss’ arguments were intentional and that he carried with him into the debate a key piece of advice: Talk about peace.

The overarching goal, they said, was for Romney to look like a suitable commander.

After adopting a more assertively militaristic tone to win the GOP nomination amid challenges from more conservative candidates, he sought at all costs to avoid appearing as a warmonger.

“I want to see peace,” Romney said in his closing statement.

The shifts in the debate were stark for a candidate who only last week described Obama’s foreign policy as “unraveling before our very eyes.”

Unconditionally endorsing Obama’s 2014 deadline for removing U.S. combat troops from Afghanistan, Romney reversed his opposition to what he had termed a “political” timetable that wasn’t necessarily supported by U.S. generals on the ground. And he declared the president’s troop surge in Afghanistan a success, after previously accusing Obama with removing too many troops too quickly.

On Iran, Romney stressed that efforts to dissuade the Islamic Republic from developing a nuclear weapon should be “through peaceful and diplomatic means.”

That came after spending the past yearand-a-half lambasting Obama for failing to levy a credible military threat against Iran and spending too much time trying to rein in Israel’s hawkish Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Monday night, Romney’s said Obama’s sanctions on Iran were working, calling war a last resort: “It is something one would only consider if all of the other avenues had been tried to their full extent.”

And on Syria, Romney modified the argument for deeper involvement he had presented in a foreign policy address earlier this month in Virginia. He argued at that time for a concerted, U.S.-led approach to ensure that Syrian rebels obtain the weapons to defeat the Assad government’s “tanks, helicopters and fighter jets.”

On Monday he adopted Obama’s caution by emphasizing the need to ensure arms don’t reach “the wrong hands” and stating unequivocally that he wouldn’t pursue U.S. military involvement in the conflict.

Hezbollah accused in assassinaton

BY BEN HUBBARD Associated Press BEIRUT (AP) — Syria’s powerful ally Hezbollah was accused Tuesday by Lebanese political opponents of playing a role in the assassination of a top intelligence officer who used his post to fight Syrian meddling in Lebanon.

The group, which dominates Lebanon’s government, rejected calls to refer the investigation of the killing to the international tribunal that implicated Hezbollah figures in the truck bombing that killed former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri under similar circumstances.

Brig. Gen. Wissam al-Hassan was killed Oct. 19 in a car bomb that exploded next to his car in a residential Beirut neighborhood, shearing the balconies off apartment towers and killing al-Hassan, his bodyguard and a civilian.

Scores more were injured.

The killing has sent tremors along Lebanon’s most tenuous political fault line, that separating allies of Syrian President Bashar Assad and those who oppose him.

Lebanon’s two largest political coalitions have lined up on opposite sides of Syria’s civil war. The Shiite group Hezbollah and its partners who dominate the government have stood by Assad’s regime, while the Sunni-led opposition backs the rebels seeking to topple the government.

Al-Hassan, a Sunni Muslim, was clearly in the latter camp, and his killing has led to sectarian violence in Lebanon, whose myriad sects have strong ties to their brethren across the border. At least 13 people have died in clashes between pro- and antiSyria factions since the assassination — the deadliest violence in Beirut in four years.

IN THIS 2011 file photo, Austin Mitchell (left) and Ryan Lehto work on an oil derrick outside of Williston, N.D. U.S. oil output is surging so fast that the United States could soon overtake Saudi Arabia as the world’s biggest producer. U.S. production of oil and other liquid hydrocarbons is on track to rise 7 percent in 2012 to an average of 10.9 million barrels per day. It’s the fourth straight year of crude increases, and this year drillers are on track to post the biggest single-year gain since 1951.

U.S. may soon become world’s top oil producer

BY JONATHAN FAHEY Associated Press NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. oil output is surging so fast that the United States could soon overtake Saudi Arabia as the world’s biggest producer.

Driven by high prices and new drilling methods, U.S. production of crude and other liquid hydrocarbons is on track to rise 7 percent this year to an average of 10.9 million barrels per day. This will be the fourth straight year of crude increases and the biggest single-year gain since 1951.

The boom has surprised even the experts.

“Five years ago, if I or anyone had predicted today’s production growth, people would

have thought we were crazy,” says Jim Burkhard, head of oil markets research at IHS CERA, an energy consulting firm.

The Energy Department forecasts that U.S. production of crude and other liquid hydrocarbons, which includes biofuels, will average 11.4 million barrels per day next year.

That would be a record for the U.S. and just below Saudi Arabia’s output of 11.6 million barrels. Citibank forecasts U.S. production could reach 13 million to 15 million barrels per day by 2020, helping to make North America “the new Middle East.”

The last year the U.S. was the world’s largest producer was 2002, after the Saudis drastically cut production be-

cause of low oil prices in the aftermath of 9/11. Since then, the Saudis and the Russians have been the world leaders.

The United States will still need to import lots of oil in the years ahead. Americans use 18.7 million barrels per day.

But thanks to the growth in domestic production and the improving fuel efficiency of the nation’s cars and trucks, imports could fall by half by the end of the decade.

The increase in production hasn’t translated to cheaper gasoline at the pump, and prices are expected to stay relatively high for the next few years because of growing demand for oil in developing nations and political instability in the Middle East and North Africa.

College price hikes more modest; still painful

BY JUSTIN POPE Associated Press The sticker price of in-state tuition at four-year public universities climbed about $400 this fall, an increase of nearly 5 percent that brought the average to $8,655.

That’s a modest increase compared to recent years but still painful for families with stagnant incomes after a prolonged economic slump.

Room-and-board charges grew by a comparable amount, raising the full cost for students living on campus to $17,860.

The latest annual figures from the College Board, out Wednesday, show only about one-third of full-time students pay that published price. The estimated net price — what students pay on average after accounting for grants and tax credits — remains considerably lower than the list price: about $2,910 for tuition at public four-year universities, and $12,110 includ-

ing room and board.

But after several years when a wave of student aid from Washington held net prices mostly in check, real costs for students have now jumped two straight years, as that wave washes back from its highwater mark.

At private colleges, enrolling about onequarter of four-year college students, list prices remained substantially higher: $39,518 on average, including room and board. During the previous three years, net prices at private colleges had declined. But this year net tuition and fees increased about $780. Including room and board, but factoring in aid, the typical student at a private college is paying $23,840.

At public two-year colleges, tuition and fees increased $172 to $2,959. On average, those costs are entirely covered by aid.

Altogether, the latest figures send mixed signals. They highlight that higher education, while increasingly essential economi-

cally, is devouring an ever-increasing share of family incomes, which are lower than a decade ago. But the numbers could also signal an inflection point where several unsustainable trends in costs, borrowing, and student aid at last begin to break, though it’s too soon to say for sure, said report coauthor Sandy Baum of the College Board and George Washington University.

Prices were up this year, though at barely half the rate of the previous two years. Enrollment, after surging nationally for several years after the economy collapsed in 2008, has leveled off. Partly as a result, federal aid is also now declining slightly after several years of double-digit increases.

Even student borrowing, the source of much anxiety, declined last year by about 4 percent. Borrowing remained 24 percent higher than five years earlier, but the annual decline was the first in at least two decades.

Gardeners to host floral class on a corsage and crowned her with a birthday tiara.

The surprise was in honor of Geib’s 98th birthday which she will celebrate on Nov. 11.

Geib has been an active member of the Rainbow Gardeners since 1957 and continues to participate whenever she’s not travelling around the country.

Jackie Thoma designed the arrangement for the October meeting.

Ann Heeley gave a tip on overwintering summer bulbs such as caladium, ginger, begonia, and dahlia: Wait until frost hits and kills the top growth (except for caladiums which should be dug before then).

Cut off all but about 2 inches of the stem.

Shake off soil or rinse off soil for bulbs with no papery skin. Let dry several days.

Dust or spray with an insecticide/fungicide.

Neem oil, Daconil, and GardenSafe Fungicide 3 are all good choices for sprays; Dragon Sulfur Dust and Bonide Garden Dust are good choices, as well.

Store in paper bags with peat moss or vermiculite in cardboard boxes.

Mist periodically to prevent bulbs from shrinking or drying

out completely.

After the business meeting, members carpooled to the Helmlinger Tree Farm near Russell’s Point.

Dave and Sharon Helmlinger are truckdriving partners who will be retiring this year.

For many years, they made weekly trips to Oregon, taking home young trees and planting them on their property.

Although they specialize in evergreens, many other varieties and more than 200 trees are cared for and permanently labeled. Unlike traditional tree farmers, the Helmlingers do not sell their trees.

A large pond attracts the fishermen in the family, and a pondless waterfall that flows into a bed of blue river rock greets visitors.

Dave pointed out the weeping Norway spruce and weeping Alaskan cedar, which is actually a member of the cypress family.

He also described some of the trees that don’t fare as well in

Ohio, such as the Ponderosa pine, which prefers the higher altitude and winter snow of the Colorado Rockies.

During the guided 2hour tour, the group was able to photograph the European spindle tree with its green berries, the rare Manchurian oak, the Lebanon cedar, whose cones are light blue when they first appear, a fruit-bearing persimmon, corkabark fir, a red buckeye, a yellowhorn that bears sweet, edible nuts, and a Bosnian pine-heldrechii.

LETTER

TO THE EDITOR

Two important issues To the editor: You will find two very important state issues on your ballot. Read the narrative below for facts to underscore a “no” vote on both issues.

By law, since 1912, the question of having a constitutional convention, has been on the ballot every 20 years. It has been turned down by the electorate every election and five times prior to that ballot requirement.

Passage would necessitate nomination and election of nearly 100 delegates to a constitutional convention, with any suggested changes presented in another election. This expensive process is not necessary.

June 2011, Ohio legislation established the Ohio Constitutional Modernization Commission, a group of 32 bipartisan legislators and nonlegislative members. For 10 years, members serving two-year terms collaborate to improve the Constitution. All changes must go before the electorate. There is no compelling reason to call a constitutional sonvention, especially during these tough economic times. The expense of a constitutional convention, the duplication of effort and the fact that the Goldwater Institute ranked the Ohio State Constitution as the third best text in the nation,

reinforces a “no” vote on Issue 1.

Vote “no” on Issue 2 because it is an unconstitutional amendment that creates a restrictive, unelected, unaccountable bureaucracy. State Sen. Faber said it well at the Romney rally: “The attorneys for their side said this amendment language is so convoluted and confusing, it takes three Harvard lawyers to understand it.” And they want to put that in our state constitution? The minority doesn’t like what was done legally and by the constitution, so they want to change it.

This commission is appointed, therefore, not accountable to anyone.

They set their own salary. They cannot be removed, even upon commission of a felony, and nothing they implement can be removed or repealed. This whole untested, unconstitutional process places appointment authority to the judiciary, and judges must remain free of political influence. Vote “no” on Issue 2 to protect your freedoms, liberties and your elected representation.

“If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and will never be.” — Thomas Jefferson H. R. Pence 12991 Miami-Shelby Road

for safe disposal by expanding existing drug take-back programs.

To learn more, please visit www.deadiversion.usdoj.gov/ or call (800) 882-9539.

In addition to takeback efforts, there are several ways we can combat this costly and deadly problem: First, I’ve proposed that the state of Ohio fully implement a Medicaid “Lock-In” program, which would crack down on the illegal use of Medicaid cards to obtain and fill prescriptions for addictive pain medications. This program would prevent prescription drug abusers from acquiring excessive prescription drugs — which they may abuse or illegally re-sell — by barring them from visiting multiple doctors and pharmacies.

Next, we can also continue Prescription Drug Monitoring Programs and crack down on illegal transfers from other states. So-called “pill mills” — where prescription drugs are dispensed for non-medical reasons — should be shut down. That’s why I am urging the U.S. Drug Enforcement

Agency to redouble its efforts to shutter “pill mills” and increase federal enforcement. It is imperative that we ease the outsized burden on state and local budgets to solve this national problem.

After I reached out to U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder to urge him to establish Ohio-based tactical diversion squads, we’ve seen two new squads sent to Ohio that are helping the state crack down on “pill mills.” Several Ohio counties have already been designated as the High Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas (HIDTA) by the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy.

We need to know how drugs are obtained illegally and work comprehensively to cut off the source. We cannot afford to let improper disposal, pharmacy-shopping, doctor-hopping or thefts threaten the safety of Ohio families.

Together, we can move forward and create safer communities by addressing the concerns of Ohioans who are eager to end prescription drug abuse — and save lives.

one other program.”

With billions of dollars of taxpayer money being spent every year, the job training system should be able to demonstrate that it is putting the unemployed back to work. But GAO found that “little is known about the effectiveness of most programs.” We can do more to retrain the unemployed. We can do more to make the system accountable. And we can certainly do more to leverage taxpayer dollars.

That is why I have introduced the bipartisan CAREER Act alongside my colleague Senator Michael Bennet (D-CO).

Our legislation makes job training more responsive to the needs of employers by requiring state and local workforce areas to give priority consideration in the distribution of job training dollars to programs that equip participants with credentials in-demand by industry. This provision delivers on a recommendation of the President’s Jobs Council to “align the training needs of workers and skills demanded by employers with education and workforce training programs.” Next, our bill establishes economic incentives for accountability. With the billions of dollars the federal gov-

ernment invests in job training every year, it is imperative to quantify the return on taxpayer investment. The CAREER Act sets up an innovative “pay-for-performance” pilot program for job training services for states that voluntarily opt-in. Job training providers in these participating states would only be reimbursed for their services if they successfully place a worker in a good-paying job. This model builds a monetary incentive into the process so that job training services keep track of their outcomes.

As GAO discovered when it found overlap among 44 of 47 training programs, reorganization of the whole system must be a priority. Our bill requires the White House to submit to Congress a plan to increase the efficiency of the job training system by decreasing the number of job training programs without decreasing the quality of service delivered to the unemployed.

Given all our economic problems, it is time for Washington to reorganize the massive network of programs into a streamlined and efficient resource for American workers.

With the commonsense, bipartisan reforms in the CAREER Act, we can take an important step forward with Washington’s job training programs. Now is the time to act to help eight years and the Ohio’s businesses fill health and human serv- jobs.

Specifically, Obamacare needs to go.

By voting for Republicans at the federal level, we can help get this law repealed.

An example of how this law is taking freedom away can be found

in the case of the Catholic Church and its belief regarding contraception. Under Obamacare, the Catholic Church is mandated by law to pay for contraception through health insurance that they provide to their employees.

This may seem harmless if you are not a Catholic or do not believe in their teaching on contraception, but how could you be affected in the future?

Why it matters: Labor unions

BY SAM HANANEL Associated Press The issue: A unionized job once meant a secure path to a middle-class life. Labor unions are still big political players, but they have seen a steady decline in membership and clout since their heyday in the 1950s.

————— Where they stand: President Barack Obama has signed a series of executive orders that encourage the use of union labor in federal construction projects, ease union financial reporting requirements and more.

He has also appointed labor-friendly members to the National Labor Relations Board, which has approved new rules to help union organizers and has more strictly enforced laws against anti-union misconduct.

Republican Mitt Romney says he will reverse all of Obama’s executive orders that help unions, seek to prohibit unions from using automatic dues deductions for politics and strive for national right-to-work legislation that prohibits unions from collecting dues from nonmembers.

————— Why it matters: Unions long have been viewed as a way for workers to gain job protections, boost wages and achieve benefits.

Many business leaders see unions as limiting employer flexibility and sapping profits.

About 14.8 million Americans are members of labor unions. The number has been declining for decades as domestic manufacturing jobs go overseas and businesses take a tougher approach in op-

posing union organizers.

Organized labor now makes up just 11.8 percent of the work force — down from about a third of all workers in the 1950s. Union leaders have looked to the White House and Congress for help in organizing new members and increasing their influence in the workplace.

But favorable union organizing rules approved by Obama’s appointees at the National Labor Relations Board have been tied up in the courts. And an effort to get Congress to pass card-check legislation, which would let unions organize new members simply by signing cards instead of holding elections, went nowhere during Obama’s first term.

Obama didn’t do much to push the cardcheck law, which faced vigorous business oppo-

iPad Mini not mini-priced SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) — Apple Inc.’s pencil-thin, smaller iPad will cost much more than its competitors, signaling the company isn’t going to get into a mini-tablet price war.

The company debuted the iPad Mini Tuesday, with a screen two-thirds smaller than the full model, and half the weight. Customers can begin ordering the new model on Friday. In a surprise, Apple also revamped its flagship, full-sized iPad just six months after the launch of the latest model.

Apple’s late founder Steve Jobs once ridiculed a small tablet from a competitor as a “tweener” that was too big and too small to compete with either smartphones or tablets.

Now Apple’s own Mini enters a growing smalltablet market dominated

by Amazon.com Inc.’s Kindle Fire.

Apple is charging $329 and up for the Mini — a price that fits into the Apple product lineup between the latest iPod Touch ($299) and the iPad 2 ($399). Company watchers had been expecting Apple to price the iPad Mini at $250 to $300 to compete with the Kindle Fire, which starts at $159. Barnes & Noble Inc.’s Nook HD and Google Inc.’s Nexus 7 both start at $199.

“Apple had an opportunity to step on the throat of Amazon and and Google yet decided to rely on its brand and focus on margin,” said Bill Kreher, an analyst with brokerage Edward Jones.

Apple has sold more than 100 million iPads since April 2010. Analysts expect Apple to sell 5 million to 10 million iPad minis before the year is out.

Apple shares fell $20.67, or 3.3 percent, to $613.36 when the price was announced. Shares of Barnes & Noble Inc. jumped 88 cents, or 6.1

sition, but he did please unions with his federal bailout of the auto industry and passage of a huge stimulus package — both credited with saving thousands of union jobs. Romney opposed both moves.

Last year, the labor board’s general counsel outraged business groups when he filed a lawsuit against Boeing Co. (NYSE:BA) , saying the company was punishing union members in Washington state by opening a new plant in right-to-work South Carolina. While both sides ultimately settled the dispute, Romney says he wants to amend labor laws to prevent the board from interfering with business investment decisions.

In the public sector, where unions had seen some of their steadiest growth in recent years, Republican governors in states such as Wisconsin and Ohio have pushed laws seeking to curb collective bargaining rights for state workers. They argue that such limits are necessary to roll back generous pension and benefit packages that cashstrapped governments no longer can afford.

Romney has praised efforts to limit collective bargaining rights for public workers, while Obama has denounced them. In fact, the Obama administration for the first time granted limited union rights to more than 40,000 federal workers who screen passengers at the nation’s airports.

Despite massive public protests against measures limiting union rights and some court successes by organized labor, polls find unions less popular than in past decades. They were viewed favorably by 52 percent of Gallup respondents in August.

Even Democratic leaders in New York, California and other states have sought to limit pensions for state employees and make union members contribute a greater share of health benefits.

SENATE

From Page 1

Ohio State Senator Term: Four years.

Responsiblities: To draft legislation to support and protect the people of Ohio.

Salary: $60,584-$94,437 dependent upon position plus committee position supplements from $2,500 to $10,000. ballot issues on everything from legalizing drugs to redefining marriage. The state is required to put this question before voters every 20 years, and each time they have wisely rejected a constitutional convention.

With overwhelming bipartisan support, the Ohio General Assembly recently created a more responsible alternative by creating the Ohio Constitutional ModernCommittee, ization which consists of 32 bipartisan members who must reach a two-thirds majority vote to present suggested amendments.

The Legislature must then reach a threefifths majority to place the amendments on the ballot for consideration by the voters. This process encourages thoughtful consensus and eliminates the potential for political chaos that would ensue at a constitutional convention.

Hinds: I oppose Issue 1 because I oppose altering the Ohio Constitution. This issue is on the ballot once every 20 years by law, and I am in support of the Ohio Constitution as it stands.

The Ohio budget is now balanced, but with cuts in funding to counties, cities and townships. Do you approve of this action? Why? Faber: Yes, I approved of balancing the projected $8 billion budget deficit without raising taxes. In fact, this amounted to a deficit of roughly 18 percent of the budget.

Like many Ohio families, when you live within your means, tough decisions needed to be made. We made those decisions and that did result in reductions in services and funding from the State, including a reduction in Ohio’s revenue sharing with local governments.

On average, local government funds from the State account for between 3 and 8 percent of the total budgets for local communities, with some receiving slightly

more and some less.

The budget reduced the state’s local government revenue sharing totals by 25 percent the first year and an additional 25 percent the second year or roughly 3/4 of 1 percent to 2 percent of their total budget the first year and an equal amount the second year of the budget. This was far less than the 18 percent adjustment by the state. Shelby County, because of its particular industrial base was harder hit than many, but its total adjustment as part of its total budget was far less than the state’s reductions.

As a result of these decisions by the state, Ohio’s economy is responding and coming out of the recession quicker than our neighboring states. Our unemployment is nearly one full percentage point below the national average for the first time since 1994.

More than 123,000 new Ohio jobs have been created since Jan. 1, of 2011. Like the rest of Ohio, local governments have and are benefiting from these changes. In Shelby County for example, their sales tax receipts are up more than $600,000 for the first six months of this year and appear to be on path to continue that same rate for the year.

The sales tax increase year over year is on pace to more than replace the loss from the local government funds.

Hinds: I applaud the state of Ohio for balancing it’s budget, however the ways they’ve taken to get there is very interesting. There were many areas where cuts could be made that would not have affected localized budget cuts.

On the counterpoint, state government should be empowering it’s counties, cities, and townships. Government should be most empowered at a local level.

Any place budgets can be trimmed should be considered, however I believe there were many places that could

Faber, his wife Andrea, and their two children, Adam and Brooke, live outside Celina in Mercer County and attend St. Lutheran John’s Church.

Hinds is a native of rural Lima and a graduate of Perry High School there. He attended the University of Northwestern Ohio and opened his own small business, Hollywood Supply Etc., when he was 19. The business, which he sold in 2007, had a statewide sales team providing supplies to party restaurants. He worked briefly in the banking industry, is a licensed insurance agent and now is employed as an account executive by a marketing firm. Hinds is single.

The candidates answered questions from the Sidney Daily News recently as follows: Do you favor State Issue 2, which would create a citizen’s commission to handle redistricting within the state?

Why? Faber: As chair of the Ohio General Assembly’s Redistricting Reform Task Force, I support efforts to improve the redistricting process. However, I oppose State Issue 2 because it permanently alters our state constiwith an tution untested, costly and even discriminatory new system that falls dramatically short of any meaningful improvement. The bureaucracy created by Issue 2 is estimated to cost taxpayers more than $15 million within the first few years of implementation. Perhaps more troubling is that Issue 2 removes your right to hold accountable the people who make public policy decisions on our behalf, defying a fundamental principle of our government. Even worse, the redistricting scheme created by Issue 2 excludes millions of Ohioans from participating simply because of their political activity or that of a family member. I agree with the Ohio State Bar Association, the Judicial Conference of Ohio and newspapers and civic groups across our state that Ohioans should vote no on Issue 2.

Hinds: I am in strong support of Issue 2. Ohio districts are a mess. Lines are drawn to create our districts, not by what makes sense, but by how people vote. I support districts based upon population and geography, not based upon playing partisan politics. The districts are drawn intentionally to stifle people with opposing views, not to represent taxpayers fairly.

I support Issue 2 because I support a common-sense approach to Government.

Do you favor State Issue 1, which would convene a convention to consider altering the state’s constitution? Why? Faber: I oppose State Issue 1 because it would create a contentious, chaotic and highly partisan process of redrafting our state constitution. While I believe certain portions of the constitution should be reviewed and modernized, Issue 1 would subject the entire document to unnecessary scrutiny, potentially resulting in a flood of radical California-style

ELECTION 2012 be cut within the state before government looking to cut budgets to localized governments.

Some Shelby County government officials lament that their state senator is not responsive when they contact him.

How do/would you respond to calls from your constituents?

Faber: I cannot explain why certain county officials would make such a comment.

My confusion is in part due to the fact that, at their request (before the public comments), I spent several hours with local elected officials (including the auditor and several commissioners) going over the details of their budget, state funding and other issues they wanted to discuss. I have always had an open-door policy and local officials get priority when scheduling meeting requests. Simply put, as I said in recent meeting, I will meet with them on any issue, any time and at any place. With this in mind, it is important to remember that I represent all or part of seven counties and cannot be in any one all of the time. Nevertheless, I regularly meet with local government officials including school superintendents (every quarter) across the district. “unresponsive�

If means that I did not agree that the state should raise taxes so they can balance their budget, then OK, I did not agree to do that, and don’t think that is good for Ohio. Ohio

would not be seeing the economic recovery we are currently experiencing had we raised taxes.

During these and other conversations, I have and will continue to look for solutions to their concerns including attempting to idenunfunded tify mandates, opportunities for efficiency and ways for them to become less dependent on state funding.

I take pride in being accessible and in the district. So far this year alone, I attended more than 180 events or meetings with constituents and personally attended seven county fairs, more than 20 community festivals and traveled more than 20,000 miles serving the residents of the seven counties that make up the 12th Senate District. On average I drive more than 25,000 miles per year serving the district.

Constituent service and dealing with constituent concerns is one of the most important things I do as a state senator. During 2012 my office has fielded more than 250 constituent concerns (more than 1,000 since 2009) and helped resolve more than 74 cases that required state intervention. In addition, since 2009 I have responded to more than 1500 constituent letters, received more than 1700 constituent responses regarding issues of concern and provided recognition for achievement to more than 4500 residents of the district.

SENATE

ELECTION 2012 tween two individuals and God, not a man, woman, and government.

Government should not be involved in marriage, but government can be involved with civil union contracts. If two individuals want to be married, they need to ask God for that blessing, however if two individuals, no matter sexual orientation, want equal protections under a civil union contract, they should have that right.

Where do you stand on the pro-life/abortion issue?

Faber: I am 100 percent pro-life. I am pleased to have the support of Ohio Right to Life in this and in all of my previous elections.

Hinds: I am very prolife. To define life, you must define death. If death is when a heart stops beating, then life begins when the heart starts beating. If death is when brain activity ceases, then life is when brain activity starts. I am pro-life, and I will defend life in every vote I make.

A life is no less valuable the day before the baby is born than it is the day after.

What specifically would you do to create more jobs in the 12th District?

Faber: Ohio employers have created more than 123,000 jobs since January of 2011. That is in stark contrast to the previous four years where more than 100,000 Ohioans lost jobs every year —- 600,000 in the previous ten years. Let me be clear, government does not create jobs, government can kill a heck of a lot of jobs, but it doesn’t create jobs. What government does do is create an environment for job creators to grow or fail. We need to continue to reduce spending, balance our budget and move forward on tax reform and regulatory reform.

I am pleased that Ohio’s job creators have supported and endorsed my re-election: NFIB, Ohio Chamber, Ohio Manufacturing Association, Ohio Farm Bureau, Ohio State Medical Association, etc.

Hinds: As a former small business owner, I

can answer this question very easily: Make business easier to do in Ohio!

Small business owners want to be successful, and want to employ people, however with the overregulation, over-taxation, and under-appreciation, small business owners closed shop; some moved out of Ohio, some found being a small business owner too stressful to handle. We didn’t just lose jobs in Ohio, we lost small business in Ohio.

Losing small business is why we lost so many jobs.

Empower small business owners, and the 12th District will prosper!

Why should voters elect you as state senator instead of your opponent?

Faber: I am seeking re-election to continue the work of strengthening Ohio’s economy and to help create an environment where Ohio can grow and create the next generation of good jobs for our families. While Ohio has made strong gains in the last two years, we have much more work to do. My values and goals are closely aligned with those of the residents of the 12th Senate District and I will continue to reach out and seek input from constituents on issues that make Ohio better.

Hinds: First things first, I’m not a lawyer; I’m a regular Ohioan, and that in itself should be reason enough. However, if anyone is happy how our state has been since 2007 when he was appointed to the state senate, then he may be a great choice. I was originally a fan of my opponent because I thought he would bring much needed “change” to Ohio, and unfortunately, all we got was more government intrusion in our lives and businesses. I believe in the people making decisions about their own lives, and I believe the people are better equipped to make decisions regarding their lives than a group of lawyers in the statehouse can. I would be humbled if voters would hire me on Nov. 6, and I promise to support the ideals of less government and more freedom. Live free.

Council OKs advance for property purchase for airport improvement

BY TOM BARNETT tbarnett@sdnccg.com Sidney City Council Monday night adopted a resolution authorizing a capital improvement fund cash advance up to a maximum of $240,000 to the Airport Improvement fund for property purchases Finance Director Ginger Adams told council the advance provides the cash flow for the purchase of area land needed for the grantfunded airport runway improvement project.

She explained the Federal Aviation Authority’s 90 percent grant reimbursement will probably not be received until early 2013 “and the advance is needed to a positive year-end cash balance.”

Adams told council the advance will be repaid by the airport fund once the reimbursement is received next year.

Council also adopted a resolution approving a bargaining collective agreement with the Fraternal Order of Police Ohio Labor Council Inc. on behalf of communications technicians. The three-year contract extends from July 1, 2012 to June 30, 2015.

It provides no wage increase for 2012 and 1 percent salary increases each of the last two years of the agreement.

It also updates contract language to reflect changes in state or federal laws adding language regarding training pay.

In separate resolutions Monday, council made appointments to various boards and committees.

Terry Bateman was appointed to a threeyear term as an at-large community member of the Citizens Peer Review Committee.

John M. Garmhausen and Mary Ellen Paulus were appointed to five-

year terms on the Sidney Compensation Commission.

Deborah Windsor was reappointed to a new three-year term on the Personnel Board of Appeals.

Tom Ehler and Patricia Miller were appointed to new six-year terms on the Sidney Planning Commission and David Fogt, Phillip Lahrmer and Don Goettemoeller were reapto new pointed three-year terms on the revolving Loan Fund Committee.

Following council’s legislative session, Bonnie Gold, Sidney Municipal Court administrator, led a discussion of a Shared Resources Project involving Shelby County’s Common Pleas, Juvenile/Probate and Municipal courts.

Gold said discussion of a new case management system began in 2010 and has twice been put on hold, motivating Municipal Court staff to schedule vendor demonstrations.

“When it came to their attention the Common Pleas and Juvenile courts were facing very costly upgrades to their case management systems, one of the vendors suggested if all the county’s courts were on the same program, it would be possible to

share many resources,” she said.

“A committee was formed and is investigating the feasibility of such a project.” She said funding, estimated at $75,000 for the three systems, would be taken from the special project funds of each court. Council learned the target date is January since current court systems are not able to keep up with technical advances.

Law Director Jeff Amick then updated council on the acquisition of a permanent easement to provide access to the city’s recently-purchased water source in Washington Township.

He said Water Superintendent Larry Broughton has successfully negotiated acquisition of the easement and legislation is being prepared to authorize the agreement.

Prior to council’s, legislative agenda Monday night, Police Chief Kevin Gessler honored Capt.

Rodney Auston who is retiring Nov. 10 after 34 years with the department.

Monday night’s meeting included an executive session to discuss appointment or compensation of an employee, purchasse of property and pending court action. No action was taken.

uals in our local jails are there because of drug or drug related crimes, including assault, theft, domestic violence, child abuse, and neglect just to name a few. We need stronger steps to discourage drug use, including education, treatment and other programs. Legalization will cause more problems, not less.

Hinds: I do not support government intervention in anyone’s lives, as long as it doesn’t effect another person. I do not have the right to press my own personal beliefs on what is right or wrong on someone else, even if I think it’s “for their own good.” I do not believe that we as people have the right to make someone else’s decisions for them, and I do not believe what someone chooses to ingest, whether it be raw milk, 20-ounce sodas, or even marijuana, is something we can punish others for. Even though I do not necessarily support someone choosing to ingest marijuana, I will defend their right to make their own decisions. I support the re-legalization of marijuana.

How do you feel about eminent domain?

Faber: I supported and helped draft Ohio’s current limitations on eminent domain abuse.

Eminent domain should only be used when necessary for an essential public purpose, such as roads, schools, and the like, and not for private development.

Hinds: Eminent domain is important for the government to possess that ability for certain things, such as public safety, however for a new mall, apartment complex, or amusement park, I oppose it strongly. If your property is not for sale, then it is not for sale. Period. There are very few justifiable reasons why you should be forced to leave your hard-earned property. If a mall wants to buy your house, and you don’t want to sell it, then that should be your right as a property owner.

How involved should government be in private life?

Faber: This is a very general question. I believe in the concept of limited government as expressed in both the Ohio and U.S. constitutions. Government is primarily to serve the people and to provide those services that they can’t effectively do individually (national defense, public roads, police fire, etc.).

Government intrusion into private matters should be limited and rare based upon health, safety, public welfare and the like.

Hinds: The government is not meant to protect us from ourselves, it’s meant to protect us from others. The government should have ZERO involvement in our everyday private lives.

What is your stand on same-sex marriage/civil unions?

Faber: Are you asking about same-sex marriage or Ohio’s marriage amendment? If so, the voters of Ohio have spoken on this issue by amending Ohio’s Constitution to define marriage as the union of one man and one woman and to prohibit the state or local governments from creating or recognizing a legal status for relationships of unmarried individuals that intends to approximate the design, qualities, significance or effect of marriage. Article XV Section 11. I support this definition.

Hinds: Marriage is be-

BY FRANCES DRAKE For Thursday, Oct. 25, 2012 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Take a realistic look at your life to see if you have enough money and resources to live the way you want to live. It’s good to know what you have and what you don’t have.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) This is a good day to think about your budget, earnings and expenses. What can you do to reduce your debt? Even a little at a time will make a difference.

YOU BORN TODAY You are a complex being. Outwardly, you appear solid, strong and very much in control of your world. But inwardly, you are whimsical, imaginative and constantly changing. You like your world to be orderly, which is why you like to maintain control. In the coming year, you will build or construct something important to you. (Your rewards soon will follow.)

Lehman posts 2-0 win over Miami East

BY ROB KISER Civitas Media rkiser@dailycall.com FAIRBORN — One team’s amazing season was going to go on — while the other’s was going to come to an end.

And when you add Miami East’s 1-0 regular season win over Lehman Catholic to the occasion — one of just two losses for the Lady Cavaliers — you get a Division III sectional final full of emotion and intensity.

And neither team disappointed in a the Lady Cavaliers 2-0 win over the Lady Vikings at Fairborn Stadium Tuesday night.

Lehman, 16-2-0, will play defending state champion Summit Country Day Saturday at a site and time to be determined — while the Lady Vikings finished a record season at 17-2-0.

“I thought it was a really exciting game,” Lehman coach Tony Schroeder said. “I thought Miami East played a good game as well. You could just feel theelectricity.”

And the emotions ran high at the end as well as Miami East coach Emalie Carson’s squad saw the most successful season in terms of wins in a program that has known nothing but success, come to a halt earlier than they wanted.

“That’s what I told them after the game,” Carson said as she fought back tears.

“They have had a great season.”

And it was Lehman who got on the board first.

With 25:02 remaining in the first half, Elizabeth Edwards, who Schroeder described as the game MVP, sent a long ball that Taylor Lachey

got to first.

“I got fouled on the play, so I needed to get rid of the ball,” Edwards said. “I like the result — I will say that.”

Lachey, with a Miami East defender pressuring her, got off a shot from 30 yards out.

She snuck it inside the near post, just beyond the fingertips of Lady Vikings goalie Maddie Linn.

“We don’t get to do that a whole lot in games,” Lachey said. “We practice it all the time. To tell you the truth, it was pretty exciting.”

Schroeder knew how big the first goal was with two teams who have been stingy all year in allowing goals.

“We usually go far post, so that is something we have been working on,” he said. “It was a great ball from Elizabeth (Edwards) and a great shot by Taylor (Lachey) to go near post.”

Then, two pivotal moments occurred that sealed Miami East’s fate and keyed Lehman’s trip to the district finals.

Six minutes after the Lehman goal, East was within inches of tying the game.

A header off a perfect corner kick by Katrina Sutherly appeared headed into the goal, but Grace Frantz made a diving save on the way to her 10th shutout of the season.

“That was a great save by Grace (Frantz),” Schroeder said.

One that could have changed the momentum of the game.

“If we had scored there and made it 1-1, it would have changed the game,” Carson said.

Then Sara Fuller and Sara Titterington combined for a

play just before half that was a backbreaker for the Lady Vikings.

Titterington gets few clean looks near goal from defenses and Miami East was no different.

“It is what it is,” the speedy Lehman senior said. “I deal with it.”

But, Fuller was able to draw the defender off Titterington, then crossed the ball perfectly to give Titterington a 1v1 opportunity.

“That was a great play by Sara (Fuller),” Schroeder said.

“First, to force the defender to leave Sarah (Titterington) and then she made a great pass.”

Titterington cashed in with 2:26 remaining in the first half to make it 2-0.

“Yes, definitely (she needs to cash in when she has an open shot),” Titterington said.

“To get that goal was big. To be able to get a two goal lead and score right before half.”

Carson agreed.

“That certainly gave them some extra momentum heading into halftime,” she said.

Lehman’s defense continued to control things in the second half and the Lady Cavaliesr nearly added to their lead.

Edwards fired a shot early in the second half, that appeared to be going in, only to ricochet off the right post.

“We had a lot of good opportunities in the second half,” Schroeder said. “I was really proud of the girls. We played our best game of the season tonight.”

Lehman outshot Miami East 14-9. Frantz had nine saves, while Linn recorded seven.

Summit Country Day is 17-1-0.

“They have all 10 field players back,” Schroeder said.

“And their goalie is new — but she has signed to play for the University of Kentucky. So, we are facing a pretty good team.

We are looking forward to seeing what we can do.”

And the Lady Cavaliers are conceding nothing.

“This is our year,” Lachey said.

And on the other side, once the emotions subside, the Miami East team can look back at their accomplishments and say the same thing.

OSU’s Miller expected to play Saturday

BY JIM NAVEAU Civitas Media jnaveau@limanews.com COLUMBUS — So, maybe Braxton Miller is a medical wonder along with being a football prodigy.

After appearing to be seriously injured against Purdue last Saturday, Ohio State’s quarterback will be back in practice today and is expected to start at Penn State on Saturday.

Miller appeared dazed after a hard tackle by Purdue’s Josh Johnson and left the field on a golf cart with a member of the training staff looping an arm around his shoulders to prevent him from falling off the cart.

But Miller came away with

nothing more than a sore neck and doctors found no indication of a concussion or any other injury.

Considering how much the quarterback sophomore means to Ohio State’s offense, it was a high level scare to see him lying on the field and being helped to the locker room.

Coach Urban Meyer said his first concern was Miller’s personal well-being. But then other things like what OSU’s record going forward might be without his starting quarterback came to mind.

“He’s sore. He has a very sore neck. He got, like a whiplash,” Meyer said at his weekly press conference on Monday. “I had a long talk with him about it. He was

just rattled. And once he settled down he seemed to be fine.

“He made a comment to me that he’s never really been hurt (that badly). It kind of rattled him a little bit, like it would rattle most athletes.”

Ohio State’s depth chart lists Miller as the starter when the No. 9 Buckeyes (8-0, 4-0 Big Ten) go to Penn State (5-2, 3-0 Big Ten) for a 5:30 p.m. Saturday game.

OSU defensive back Christian Bryant said, “He’s doing way better than what he did on Saturday. He’s moving around, talking to guys and laughing. He’s doing pretty good right now. He said he’s good to go so I believe him.”

Offensive lineman Reid Fragel said Miller “looked a

Giants to face Tigers in World Series SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — In a postseason full of twists and turns, the San Francisco Giants are headed back to the World Series after a remarkable comeback against the defending champs.

Hunter Pence got the Giants going with a weird double, Matt Cain pitched his second clincher of October and San Francisco closed out Game 7 of the NL championship series in a driving rainstorm, routing the St. Louis Cardinals 9-0 on Monday night.

San Francisco won its record-tying sixth elimination game of the postseason, completing a lopsided rally from a 3-1 deficit.

“We’re going to the World Series, this is unbelievable,” se-

ries MVP Marco Scutaro said.

The Giants, who won it all in 2010, will host reigning AL MVP and Cy Young winner Justin Verlander, Triple Crown slugger Miguel Cabrera and the Detroit Tigers in Game 1 on Wednesday night.

Verlander is set to pitch Wednesday’s opener at AT&T Park. Gianst manager Bruce Bochy insisted before Monday’s game he had not planned any further in advance.

Scutaro produced his sixth multihit game of the series and matched an LCS record with 14 hits and Pablo Sandoval drove in a run for his fifth straight game.

“These guys never quit,” Bochy said. “They just kept believing and they got it done.”

After falling behind 3-1 in the series at Busch Stadium, the Giants outscored the wildcard Cardinals 20-1 over the final three games behind stellar starting pitching from Barry Zito, Ryan Vogelsong and Cain.

They also benefited from some strange bounces.

On Pence’s double that highlighted a five-run third, his bat broke at the label on impact, then the broken barrel hit the ball twice more. That put a rolling, slicing spin on the ball and caused it to change directions — leaving shortstop Pete Kozma little chance to make the play. Kozma broke to his right, figuring that’s where the ball would go, but it instead curved to left-center.

little slower” when he saw him Sunday. “But he expects to be back in practice this week. We’re looking forward to getting him back out there and seeing him move around a little bit,” he said.

While the Kenny Guitonled drive in the final 47 seconds that tied the game and led to OSU’s 29-22 overtime win over Purdue energized Ohio State’s players and fans, Meyer cautioned that there is still a long way to go in many areas.

No offensive players were included in his weekly recitation of who graded out as a “champion” in the previous game. And he said some players have been slow to step forward and fill holes left by injury or less-than-stellar

play by the person currently occupying a spot.

He said some frontline players are being forced to play “an inordinate amount of snaps.”

“We’re dealing with a roster that’s around 60 or 59 players.

And of those 59, not everybody is playing, obviously. I’m rather disappointed in some handfuls of guys that haven’t contributed. Some guys have got to really step up,” he said.

“My gosh, what are you waiting for? Let’s go, man.

You came to Ohio State to play.

You don’t come to watch your team play a game like that and sing the fight song afterwards. You go to be a part of it. We still have far too much of that right now.”

EXTRA POINTS

The playoff roster for region 24 of Division VI is largely decided with one week to play. The current top seven are assured of a spot and number eight controls its own destiny in the quest for OHSAA football playoff berths. However, no squad has yet secured a final top four position that guarantees a first round home game next week.

No. 1 Ada will have a tough task in hosting fellow unbeaten Lima Central Catholic (9-0).

An Ada win means the top seed by a wide margin and a home game with the eighth qualifier.

A loss to LCC should still result in a home playoff opener.

No. 2 Fort Loramie (7-2) will beat Upper Scioto Valley (1-8) handily but should garner few total computer points this week, making a slide to the second five a possibility if the next three slots all win.

Stay tuned.

No. 3 Marion Local (7-2) should win at New Bremen (2-7) and get enough help to remain in the top four. And this was supposed to be a down year for the Flyers? Coach Tim Goodwin is among the best.

No. 4 Minster (7-2) faces a winnable but tough assignment in hosting Delphos St. John’s (6-3). A win means a home game the following Friday.

No. 5 St. Henry (6-3) hosts a solid Versailles team (5-4) in the hope of moving up at least one spot. The Redskins finished 1-9 a year ago.

No. 6 Bradford (7-2) should beat Twin Valley South (3-6) and go on the road to begin postseason.

7 Tri-County No. North (6-3) will defeat visiting Ansonia (1-8) and remain about where they are in the rankings.

No. 8 Waynesfield Goshen (4-5) should lose

at unbeaten Dayton Christian (9-0) which will knock them out of contention. They must win to play in November.

No. 9 Dayton Jefferson (5-3) entertains Dayton Belmont (3-6) which would deliver additional points from bigger schools that could put the Broncos in the playoffs.

No. 10 Southeastern (5-4) will have a shot at November with a home victory over Greenview (4-5).

11 Cincinnati No. College Prep (4-4) (who?) and No. 12 Lehman Catholic (4-5) have been eliminated.

No. 13 New Miami (44) could get in with a win at unblemished Summit Country Day (9-0) but that won’t happen.

Region 20 In our area’s Division V region, the current top five have clinched a berth with Coldwater (90) guaranteed the top slot and a home game with the eighth seed a week from Saturday.

Two area squads trying to crack the top eight must win and get some assistance. No. 10 Miami East (6-3) needs to defeat visiting National Trail (6-3), while No. 14 Versailles (5-4) must win at St. Henry (6-3) to have a chance for week eleven.

Little Brown Jug Sidney hosts Greenville on Friday for the Little Brown Jug, a traveling award that hasn’t visited the Treaty City in almost 50 years even though Greenville has beaten Sidney periodically. How can that be? Read this “truth is stranger than fiction“ story in these pages tomorrow.

Last on grass?

With Sidney Memorial Stadium moving toward synthetic turf for 2013, the Greenville game will likely be the final SHS home game ever played on natural

MIAMI (AP) — The lingering backlash caused by Ozzie Guillen’s praise of Fidel Castro contributed to another Miami Marlins managerial shakeup Tuesday.

Guillen was fired Tuesday after one year with the Marlins, undone by too many losses and one too many ill-advised remarks.

A promising season began to derail in April with Guillen’s laudatory comments about Cuba’s former leader.

Six months later, the episode was a factor in the decision to fire Guillen, Marlins officials said.

“Let’s face it. It was not a positive for the team; it was not a posi-

tive for Ozzie,” president of baseball operations Larry Beinfest said. “It was a disappointment, no doubt about it.”

A lousy team didn’t help, either. The Marlins took high hopes into their new ballpark following an offseason spending spree but finished last in the NL East at 69-93, their worst record since 1999.

Miami’s next manager will be the fifth for owner Jeffrey Loria since early 2010. Two managers he fired made the playoffs this year.

The latest change comes even though Marlins still owe Guillen $7.5 million for the three years remaining on his contract.

career as head basketball coach at the University of Dayton. He was not appreciated in Sidney as he was viewed as having run up the score on the Yellow Jackets whenever possible.

This night belonged to Sidney as Harry Corbin and Dick Flanagan combined for five TD’s in a 33-6 verdict, Xenia’s worst loss in the previous five seasons. Sidney earned a winning record at 4-3-2.

Correction It turns out that Lehman will have a single Saturday game in 2013 with nine on Friday. Four of five home games will be at Sidney Memorial Stadium with the other in Piqua.

Tie games?

It’s not a mistake or a typo. A few Ohio football games this season have ended in ties. In those cases, the game was tied when suspended, then not resumed usually due to travel and accomodation issues that would accompany an overnight delay. Many games this season were stopped due to lightning and resumed the next day. Some weren’t resumed by mutual agreement and the score was finalized at that point.

As you might guess, ties get half of the computer points generated by a victory.

Big change season the Next OHSAA will add a seventh football division. It will be interesting to see who lands where, and championship what weekend looks like with seven games.

The finals will still be in Northeast Ohio both this year and next before heading to Ohio Stadium for the following two years, representing the first visit to Columbus since 1989 when Minster won the first football crown by a member of the Midwest Athletic Conference. Twenty more have followed.

grass. Look for a unique display of field painting for this finale. All lines and designs on artificial turf are woven into the carpet fabric. No more painting.

Retired numbers Both Sidney and Greenville have one retired number. Dick 27 Flanagan’s No. (1940-43) is no longer worn by a Yellow Jacket, and the Green Wave have accorded to same honor to No. 87 Matt Light (1993-95). Flanagan went on to Ohio State and three NFL clubs including the 1952 champion Detroit Lions.

Light went to Purdue, then to a fabulous decade with the New England Patriots from where he recently retired with three Super Bowl titles. Both players changed positions along the way.

Flanagan was in the backfield at both Sidney and Ohio State, and was a linebacker in the pros.

Now an ESPN commentator, Light was initially a guard and tackle before moving to tight end as a senior at Greenville and played the same position early in his Purdue career before the switch back to offensive tackle which made him famous. Matt’s only collegiate reception was against Michigan and he still loves to talk about it.

70 years ago a great finish Sidney’s 1942 season came to a close with a visit by Xenia as the United States was concluding its first year in World War II. SHS head coach John Cheetwood was called to active duty in the Navy before that final game. Former head coach Herb Woolweaver took over to lead the team against Tom Blackburn’s bunch.

Blackburn enjoyed great success in coaching both football and basketball at Xenia before advancing to his legendary

How many players does it take for a game in Ohio?

BY RUSTY MILLER AP Sports Writer

in a 40-21 win over Lexington.

PITCH AND CATCH: Tyler Loftus of Ashtabula Lakeside completed 20 of 39 passes for 363 yards in a 54-20 loss at Madison; Tony Chiacchiero of Jefferson Area became the Falcons’ single-season record holder in passing yardage (1,672) and touchdown passes (19); Kenton’s Grant Sherman and Defiance’s Joe Keween combined for 789 passing yards as Kenton won a 42-32 shootout; and Haviland Wayne Trace’s Colby Speice threw for 224 yards and five TDs in a 73-14 win over Antwerp and now has thrown for 2,756 yards and 41 touchdowns this season.

NOT LAND-LOCKED: Unbeaten Clarksville Clinton-Massie has rushed 313 times this season while passing just 45 times. However, 11 of those 45 passes have gone for TDs. Tyler Uetrecht is 28 of 44 for 650 yards and 10 TDs while RB Bayle Wolf completed his only attempt for 62 yards and a score.

BULLET POINTS: Van Wert won its 500th game — and first of the season — in defeating St. Marys Memorial 26-6 in a battle of winless teams; St. Marys Memorial needs a win this Friday against Lima Shawnee to avoid the first winless season in school history; Coal Grove hogged the ball for 10:23 and 19 plays, 61 yards and 16 plays and 95 yards and eight plays in a 46-14 win against Chesapeake; Bryan scored 42 points in the second quarter en route to a 60-14 win over Swanton to earn at least a share of the NWOAL title for the first time since 1986; Middletown Fenwick stopped a two-point conversion in the last minute to beat Kettering Alter for the first time ever, 35-34; Beavercreek’s 27-21 defeat of Centerville marked its first over the Elks since 1984; thanks to Michael Griffin’s 18 carries for 333 yards (best at the school in 20 years) and four TDs, Norwalk St. Paul’s John Livengood won his 200th career

Birthday boy has eye on Buckeyes STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) — Didn’t get Bill O’Brien a birthday gift? Don’t worry, he won’t mind one bit.

Penn State’s first-year coach is so focused getting his team ready for Saturday’s Big Ten tilt against No. 9 Ohio State that he forgot he was turning 43 on Tuesday.

That is, until his brother sent him a text Tuesday morning. A few of his players followed suit on Twitter.

“I don’t know, I’m not a big birthday guy,” O’Brien said. “My wife will list all the things that I really don’t enjoy— birthdays, weddings, theme parks, the beach.”

There’s no danger of football falling on that list any time soon, not with Penn State (5-2, 30) on a five-game winning streak and surging as the unbeaten Buckeyes (8-0, 4-0) visit Happy Valley this weekend.

Harsh NCAA offseason sanctions on Penn State for the school’s handling of the Jerry Sandusky child sex abuse scandal included significant scholarship cuts and a four-year postseason ban. O’Brien and his staff, though, have channeled the players’ emotions over the predicament into an every-second-counts mentality on the field.

Now, every game is like a bowl.

And after a 38-14 drubbing last week of Iowa on the road, the news dominating the

headlines has to do with what’s happening on the field, not in the courts.

It’s been a while.

“I would definitely say that these guys have earned the right to play in this type of game.

They’ve put a lot of time in. They’ve been through a lot,” O’Brien said.

“Everything that we’ve asked them to do, they’ve done.”

Especially on offense.

Quarterback Matt McGloin and the uptempo “NASCAR” scheme trampled over the Hawkeyes defense.

The no-huddle attack is getting better every week, and now the running game is getting on track, too behind the formidable trio of speedy tailback Bill Belton and fullback-like bruisers Zack Zwinak and Michael Zordich.

Under the late Joe Paterno’s leadership, Penn State relied on the safeand-steady formula of

Why it matters: 1 new justice could change a lot

BY MARK SHERMAN the courtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s conservatives.

And anycourt closely divided thing is possible with between conservatives five votes, a bare majorand liberals. One new ity of the nine-justice face on the bench could court.

Sotomayor, 50-someSupreme Court vathings who could easily cancies always are a serve a quarter-century big deal. But the stakes or more. Republican become enormous when nominee Mitt Romney the president has a has promised to name chance to put a likejustices in the mode of minded justice on the

court to take the place of an ideological opponent. Such a switch can change the outcome of some of the courtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most important cases.

The most recent example of what the change in a single seat can mean was President George W. Bushâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s selection of Samuel Alito to take the place of Sandra Day Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Connor. Both justices were appointed

by Republicans, but Alito is far more conservative than Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Connor on such key issues as abortion, affirmative action and campaign finance.

As things stand now, Anthony Kennedy, 76, is the only justice who leans conservative but sometimes sides with the liberals on an otherwise evenly divided court. The others older than 70 are the liberalleaning Stephen Breyer, 74, and Ruth Bader Ginsburg, 79, and the conservative stalwart Antonin Scalia, 76. No one has indicated any intention to retire soon, al-

though Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s re-election could tempt Breyer and Ginsburg to reconsider. Romneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s election could prompt Kennedy and Scalia to change their plans since justices, at least recently, tend to retire when their replacement is likely to be of similar ideology.

But what might happen if the next president had an unexpected opportunity to change the courtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s direction?

Obama has voiced his disagreement with the Citizens United decision in 2010 that has contributed to ever-freer campaign spending. Of his two appointees, Sotomayor was on the losing side of the Citizens United case while Kagan argued the case for the administration in her previous job. On health care, both justices voted to uphold Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health care law.

Romney already has called on the court to overturn the Roe v. Wade decision from 1973 that established a first womanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s right to an

abortion. Romney has said he would appoint justices like Alito, Scalia, Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Clarence Thomas. He described them as men who follow the text of the Constitution, not their â&#x20AC;&#x153;personal policy preferences.â&#x20AC;?

But the health care case is a reminder that justices who generally vote a certain way do not always vote in a predictable fashion.

Roberts, after all, was the decisive â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and lone conservative â&#x20AC;&#x201D; vote to uphold the health care law.

Today, there are about 2.8 workers for each beneficiary, and that ratio will drop to 1.9 workers by 2035.

Nevertheless, Social Security is ripe for congressional action in the next year or two, if lawmakers get serious about addressing the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s long-term financial problems. Why? Because Social Security is fixable.

Despite the programâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s long-term problems, Social Security could be preserved for generations to come with modest but politically difficult changes to benefits or taxes, or a combination of both.

Some options could affect people quickly, such as increasing payroll taxes or reducing annual cost-of-living adjustments for those who already get benefits.

Others options, such as gradually raising the retirement age, wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be felt for years but would affect millions of younger workers.

Fixing Social Security wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be easy. All the options carry political risks because they have the potential to affect nearly every U.S. family while angering powerful interest groups. Liberal advocates and some Democrats oppose all benefit cuts; conservative ac-

2331158

The issue: Unless Congress acts, the trust funds that support Social Security will run out of money in 2033, according to the trustees who oversee the retirement and disability program. At that point, Social Security would collect only enough tax revenue each year to pay about 75 percent of benefits.

That benefit cut wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sit well with the millions of older Americans who rely on Social Security for most of their income. â&#x20AC;&#x201D;â&#x20AC;&#x201D;â&#x20AC;&#x201D;â&#x20AC;&#x201D;â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Where they stand: President Barack Obama hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t laid out a detailed plan for addressing Social Security.

Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s called for bipartisan talks on strengthening the program but he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t embrace the plan produced by a bipartisan deficit reduction panel he created in 2010.

Republican challenger Mitt Romney proposes a gradual increase in the retirement age to account for growing life expectancy. For future generations, Romney would slow the growth of benefits â&#x20AC;&#x153;for those with higher incomes.â&#x20AC;?

â&#x20AC;&#x201D;â&#x20AC;&#x201D;â&#x20AC;&#x201D;â&#x20AC;&#x201D;â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Why it matters: For millions of retired and disabled workers, Social Security is pretty much all they have to live on, even though monthly benefits are barely enough to keep them out of poverty.

Monthly payments average $1,237 for retired workers and $1,111 for disabled workers. Most older Americans rely on Social Security for a majority of their income; many rely on it for 90 percent or more, according to the Social Security Administration.

Social Security is already the largest federal program and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s getting bigger as millions of baby boomers reach retirement. More than 56 million retirees, disabled workers, spouses and children get Social Security benefits. That number that will grow to 91 million by 2035, according to congressional estimates.

Social Security could handle the growing number of beneficiaries if there were more workers paying payroll taxes. But most baby boomers didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have as many children as their parents did, leaving relatively fewer workers to pay into the system.

In 1960, there were 4.9 workers for each person getting benefits.

BULLETIN BOARD

Tommy the Moose to help kids under stress The Shelby County Sheriff’s office and Sidney Moose Lodge 568 have partnered in a program that helps children overcome fears and anxiety during times of stress.

The Loyal Order of Moose has donated thousands of Tommy the Moose stuffed animals to law enforcement, fire and other emergency workers.

The dolls are given to children encountering stressor traumatic ful situations to calm them while emergency aid takes place.

Moose chapters across the U.S. and Canada have purchased more than 100,000 Tommy Moose plush dolls and presented them to police, fire and other emergency workers to be carried in their vehicles.

Project coordinator at the Sheriff ’s Office is Deputy Brian Strunk, who may be contacted at 494-2103. Ken McElroy, 492-5500, is the Sidney Moose coordinator.

Sheriff John Lenhart has expressed his support and appreciation to the lodge and its program “for making a difference in a child’s life when they are going through a stressful situation.”

ESC handles personnel issues Members of the governing board of the Shelby County Educational Service Center made some personnel decisions at their meeting Wednesday.

The board approved rescinding the reduction in force of Janice Nitchman, alternative school teacher, and instead accepted her resignation for the purpose of retirement.

The board also rescinded the contract with Tom Clark for providing staff development training on PLATO at the Cooperative Learning Center.

Supplemental contracts were approved for Gerald Lenhart, SPARK site director, and Jill Meyer, SPARK site instructor.

Ashley Inman was employed as a substitute aide on an as-needed basis at the rate of $52.50 per day.

Road salt ready for winter

BY TOM BARNETT tbarnett@sdnccg.com Sidney, Shelby County and the Ohio Department of Transportation are ready for another season of snow and ice with salt bins filled at moderate prices, trucks and equipment at the ready and no issues of supply or demand.

ODOT officials at the state level are projecting state and local governments could save more than $10 million this winter as a result of a change in the way salt contracts are obtained.

Last year, the state averaged $54.2 per ton of salt ordered This year the statewide average is $40.91 per ton. In addition to lower costs, local governments are realizing savings because they may combine their salt orders.

Sidney Street superintendent Marty Keifer says salt bins at the city’s service center on Vandemark Road have 750 tons on hand and he has ordered 250 additional tons for the start of winter.

“We’ve had no issues with supply or demand,” he said, “and the price this year is $62.95 a ton, delivered. We try to stay with 1,800 tons used a year and budget for that, but used only 650 tons during last season’s mild winter.”

Keifer said the city partners with a Southwest Ohio purchase group of about 100 cities and townships to buy

He said Shelby County “Prices reached their peak participates individually during the winter of 2009 with Ohio Department of when costs ranged between Transportation purchases “in $75 and $150 a ton. It was order to receive the best out of sight!” price.”

Shelby County Engineer At the state level, ODOT Bob Geuy says the county director Jerry Wray said the currently has the 3,500 to state this year gave salt com4,000 tons of road salt it panies the option to provide saved during last year’s mild bids on entire districts in adwinter after purchasing 80 dition to individual counties. percent less of its regular “The result,” he said, “is a contract. statewide savings of $13.11 “The county normally uses per ton of salt, which adds up from 4,000 to 5,000 ton a to $10,159,700.”

In addition to the lower price per ton, ODOT alone expects to purchase 209,00 tons less salt this coming winter since last season winter was so mild and huge stockpiles of salt already exist. ODOT’s Division Seven, headquartered in Sidney, covers nine west central Ohio counties. Randy Chevalley is its deputy director.

ODOT’s Website, www.transportation.ohio.gov lists the following area county salt prices per ton: Auglaize, $52.78; Miami, $57.79, Darke, $60.16; Logan, $51.67; and Champaign, $58.78.

Sheriff warns of overpayment scam The Shelby County Sheriff ’s office is warning county residents of a scam that seems to have resurfaced in Shelby County, the overpayment scam.

Sheriff John Lenhart says the department been contacted by a county resident running a home-based business (such as Thirty One, Avon) that received an email order request for more than a thousand dollars.

When the business operator received the order along with a check, she realized that the check was written for more than what the buyer had ordered; she emailed the buyer to inform them of the excess funds that were sent.

The reply from the buyer instructed the business operator to go ahead and cash the check as written, keeping a little for themself for their trouble and send the remaining excess funds along with the order. This is where the business operator realized this may be a scam and contacted the sheriff ’s office.

Most versions of this scam

do involve someone sending you a check or money order for more than the price of something you are selling, and you get to keep the difference as a commission or for your trouble. In this case, the buyer was asking to cash the check as written, keep a portion for their trouble and send the remainder back to the buyer.

Although the money orders and checks look real (and are usually accepted as legitimate by banks), they are actually fake. So you lose the difference you’ve sent them in cash (after you deposited their money order in your bank account and it supposedly cleared), as well as the item you shipped them.

• It doesn’t matter why you are supposed to send them back money: scammers give hundreds of different excuses that seem plausible at first.

• It doesn’t matter why you are supposed to use a specific escrow company: always use the escrow company you select, not the one selected by the other party.

“Now we also want to warn you of some new variations of this scam, Sheriff Lenhart said. “These new overpayment scams are a bit different, and they are really making the rounds.

The biggest difference from classic overpayment scams is that you are offered a job instead of selling something.

“If you post your resume on one of the legitimate online employment sites such as monster.com or careerbuilder.com, you may well receive this newer overpayment scam.

Here’s how it works: You receive what is supposed to be a job offer to become a “financial representative” of an international company.

“You are told that this company has problems accepting money from US customers and is looking for financial representatives to handle the payments.

You are usually offered 5 to 15 percent to handle the transactions.

“You can see two very different example emails of how this financial represen-

tative scam works here.

“If you apply and give them your personal information, there are several ways you can get scammed:” • You may experience identity theft.

• They may attempt to steal money directly from your bank account.

• You may receive bogus payments that you then deposit into your bank account, and then send them 85 to 95 percent of the money, which, of course, you lose.

As a way to avoid these scams, Sheriff Lenhart and the staff at the Shelby County Sheriff ’s Office urge you to avoid all these overpayment scams by never agreeing to handle financial transactions for people you don’t know or who offer you a job. Never accept money orders and turn around and send part of the money to anyone, no matter what the reason.

“As sheriff, my staff and I stand ready to assist any county resident that feels they have been scammed or are in contact with a scammer,” Lenhart said.

5 Fairlawn singers JC students to perform chosen for honors choir ‘Frankenstein’ Five Fairlawn High School singers were chosen to participate in the High School Honors Choir at Wright State University during the Mad River Vocal Arts Festival recently.

They were Hannah Gold, daughter of Bob and Marjie Gold, of Sidney, Cheyenne McGough, daughter of Stacy Ludwig and David and Rebekka Egbert, Zeb Sharp, son of Dean and Karen Sharp, Austin Clack, son of Jeff and Rachel Clack, and Madison Guinther, daughter of Mark and Tilia Kirtley, of Sidney.

Professors from Wright State University’s Vocal Depart-

ment selected top singers from around the state to sing and work with guest clinician Dr. Shangkuan, who is known worldwide for her choral conducting skills and choral arranging skills. They also had the opportunity to sing with Wright State University’s top vocal ensemble and learn advanced choral singing techniques from Wright State Choral Department Chairman Dr. Hank Dahlman and Dr. Ginger Minneman.

The Fairlawn High School singers will perform in concert Nov. 29 at 6:30 p.m. at Fairlawn High School.

JACKSON CENTER — Jackson Center High School will be present its fall play, “Frankenstein,” on Saturday at 7 p.m. Sunday at 2 p.m.

All tickets are $4. The play is an adaptation of Mary Shelley’s novel by Ric Averill.

The cast is as follows: the creature will be played by Clay Wagner; Dr. Victor Frankenstein, by Seth Regula; his fiancee, Elizabeth, by Arielle Haynes; his friend and assistant, Henry, by Dalton Faulder; Henry’s girlfriend, Justine, by Madison Reese; and Professor Walden, by Katie Braun.

Two skits will open the performance. “Ghost Hunters of Route 666,” by D.M. Larson, is a spoof of SyFy channel’s “Ghost Hunters” and the movie, “Ghostbusters.” The second skit is an abridgement of Shakespeare’s “Macbeth” featuring the witches’ scene, a murder, and Lady Macbeth’s breakdown.

There will also be vocal performances by Regula, Anna Wagner, Haynes, and guest Eddie Saunders, an Anna High School graduate of 2010.

There will also be a performance of a zombie dance.

Whether posting or responding to an advertisement, watch out for offers to pay more than the advertised price for the item. Scammers will send a check and ask the seller to wire the excess through Western Union (possibly for courier fees).

The scammer's check is fake and eventually bounces and the seller loses the wired amount.

While banks and Western Union branches are trained at spotting fake checks, these types of scams are growing increasingly sophisticated and fake checks often aren't caught for weeks.

Funds wired through Western Union or MoneyGram are irretrievable and virtually untraceable.

safety

Halloween is more enjoyable when safety is part of the holiday.

WAYS TO MAKE HALLOWEEN SAFER Halloween is a time for people young and old to enjoy a little mischief and mayhem. To make the holiday even more enjoyable, celebrants can heed a few tips to make Halloween as safe as it is pleasurable.

1. Use face paints instead of masks that obscure vision.

2. Wear reflective tape on costumes of dark colors for trick-or-treating at night.

3. LED lights or glow sticks are a safer alternative to lit candles. Some lights even flicker to offer the appeal of candles.

4. Trick-or-treat in a group; never alone.

5. Take a planned route and don’t wander off the path.

6. Be sure costumes are not tripping hazards.

7. Costume on young children should be age-appropriate and free of hazards, such as strings that can strangle or small parts that can choke.

8. Stick to trick-or-treating in trusted neighborhoods.

9. Be extra-cautious of cars when walking at night.

Remember to walk, and not run, between houses.

Cross streets only at corners, and stay on sidewalks whenever possible.
