Suspended Shelby County Sheriff Dean Kimpel’s office computer is now the subject of a probe after it was discovered that a PC cleaner was used on it days before he stepped down from office. It has also been learned the sheriff ’s office was suspended from membership in a crime intelligence agency because of an investigation into allegations against Kimpel. Kimpel has temporarily stepped down as sheriff after being charged with sexual battery in Auglaize County
and with misusing a computer program in Shelby County, both felonies. A request by Michael Rumer, Kimpel’s attorney, to have a forensically mirrored image of the hard drive of Kimpel’s computer provided to him and his client, has resulted in further investigation into what may have been on the computer and why a PC cleaner was used on it days before Kimpel stepped aside Oct. 6. PC cleaners can remove unwanted files, browser histories, temporary directory data, “cookies” and
recent documents. Sheriff ’s Lt. Det. James Frye said that as a result of the court order for the forensic mirrored image of Kimpel’s computer, he was provided documentation by Sgt. Mike Wick, IT coordinator for the sheriff’s office, that showed on Oct. 3 around 4 p.m. a PC cleaner was installed on Kimpel’s computer in his personal office. Due to the court order, this information was also provided to Miami County Prosecutor Gary Nasal, who is serving as special prosecutor in the cases against Kimpel. See COMPUTER/Page 10A
Scott Evans, 49, 8896 Lehman Road, Piqua, has officially filed a petition with the Shelby County Board of Elections to run for Shelby County Sheriff in the 2012 spring primary election. Evans filed as Evans a member of the Democratic party and is seeking the full term which will commence Jan. 7, 2013. Evans picked up petitions from the Shelby County Board of Elections in July. Evans is a Shelby County native who grew up in the Hardin-Houston area. He began his law enforcement career at the Fort Loramie Police Department where he was a patrolman. He then worked at the Minster Police Department, where he was an officer for 10 years before going to Sidney Municipal Court, where he served four years as a probation officer and assistant bailiff. While there, he initiated a License Intervention Program. During his time at Sidney Municipal Court, Evans also served as Lockington police chief part time. He was hired as the Anna police chief in 2010, a position he currently holds. John Lenhart has announced to run for sheriff as a Republican, but he has not yet filed his papers. He is currently serving as interim sheriff, replacing Dead Kimpel who has stepped aside pending the outcome of felony criminal charges filed against him.

STATE NEWS
Sidney Daily News,Wednesday, October 26, 2011
Board member files complaint BY JULIE CARR SMYTH Associated Press COLUMBUS (AP) — A board member of Ohio Right to Life has filed a complaint with the state’s top law enforcer alleging the group’s executive director denied her access to organizational records. In a letter to Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine, Julie Busby said lack of cooperation by Mike Gonidakis has made it impossible for her to do her job. The action escalates an already tense feud between anti-abortion activists supporting a ban on abortions after the first fetal heartbeat, and the movement’s oldest and largest state advocacy group.
Busby submitted an online complaint Monday and followed up with a letter Tuesday. DeWine Lisa spokeswoman Hackley said the complaint had been received and the office was reviewing it. DeWine’s office regulates charitable organizations. “In good conscience, I cannot stand silently by while the public is led to believe that the leadership of Ohio Right to Life is operating in a manner that effectively and ethically represents its members,” she wrote. “Nor does it seem that I am able to exercise my responsibilities to those members while being denied information relating to the operations and fiscal health
of the organization.” Board Chairman Marshal Pitchford said Right to Life provided Busby numerous records. He said in a statement Tuesday that she was offered a chance to discuss her dissatisfaction over what she received directly with the board. “Ms. Busby was invited to bring her concerns to the August 2011 Board of Trustees meeting to discuss those matters in detail with her fellow Board members,” Pitchford said. “Ms. Busby chose not to respond to that invitation and, without indicating her unavailability or seeking to be excused, failed to attend the August board meeting.” Busby is one of three
Ohio Right to Life board members not seeking reelection in a vote scheduled for Thursday. Another is Jack Willke, who helped found the organization — as well as the national and international Right to Life movements. Ohio Right to Life has been at odds with Faith2Action since its founder — activist Janet Folger Porter — returned to Ohio in January. She has been pushing the Heartbeat Bill, which would ban abortions once a fetal heartbeat could be detected, sometimes as early as six weeks into pregnancy. If passed, it would be the most stringent abortion restriction in the country.

J e r m a i n e Jelks Jelks, 38, of Piqua, was to appear for a jury trial on Thursday for one count of aggravated burglary, attempted rape and kidnapping, all felonies of the first degree. The aggravated burglary charge was amended to burglary, a felony of the third degree and the attempted rape charge was amended to aggravated assault, a felony of the fourth degree. In pleading guilty, the kidnapping charge was dismissed according to court documents. On July 28, Jelks allegedly entered 509 S. Miami Ave. and attempted or threatened to inflict physical harm on an 11 year old. In the original document it stated that he also allegedly attempted to engage in sexual conduct with the child and restrained the child by physically grabbing her right upper arm, throat, face and mouth during the commission of an attempted rape. According to the indictment, Jelks is a repeat offender. His sentencing has not yet been scheduled.
made on any business deal involving private operation to road projects north of Route 30. He said oft-neglected neighbors of the tollway would also receive “special support.” Much of the resistance to the Republican governor’s privatization plan is being led by officials from Ohio counties along the turnpike, which is funded through tolls and the sale of gas and food at rest stops. They complain a change in operation will lead to lost revenue and jobs.
Kasich said he wants areas around the turnpike to be improved, not hurt, by any deal. “There are communities all over the turnpike that have been adversely affected by it,” he said. “The turnpike’s construction policies really haven’t benefited them. Whether it’s the increased noise because of a new third lane, or local roads over the turnpike that have been forced to close because of unstable slopes supporting the bridge, it’s time to be good neighbors.”

Prosecutor looking into foster child’s death CINCINNATI (AP) — A prosecutor said Tuesday he’ll investigate the return of a 2-year-old foster child to his parents’ home, where police say he was fatally beaten by his father. The 29-year-old father, Antrone Smith, is charged with murder in the Friday death of DeMarcus Jackson, who was placed back with his birth parents in Cincinnati in August. The Cincinnati Enquirer reports Smith wept in Hamilton County court Monday as a judge appointed a lawyer and set a $500,000 bond. Prosecutor Joseph Deters said his office will determine within nine days if additional charges will be presented to a grand jury. He said he spoke with state Attorney General Mike DeWine on Monday and both were “very disturbed by the initial reports on the case and, specifically, the placement of the child back in a potentially abusive environment.” The boy’s foster mother, Latasha Tye, of Western Hills, told the Enquirer he had lived with her and her husband since he was 8 days old. She said he and four older siblings had been returned to their birth parents. She
blamed the county’s Department of Job and Family Services for his death. “I tried to save him. I tried to take him back. I tried,” Tye, 40, sobbed after Smith’s court hearing. “The county failed my baby. I told them he wasn’t ready to go. All he wanted was me.” Job and Family Services spokesman Brian Gregg told the newspaper he was unaware of any objections to returning the children to their parents in August. He said a “neglect situation” had led the agency to the birth family in 2007 and the department and juvenile court worked on a plan for a safe family reunification, as law requires. “We deal with 16,000 children a year here, but even one death is too many,” he said. “Our workers take it hard.” Cincinnati police Sgt. Gary Conner said coroner’s officials determined the boy was beaten and suffered a blunt blow to his abdomen. He said Smith told police he hit the boy but offered no explanation. A message seeking comment from Smith’s attorney, Timothy McKenna, was not immediately returned Tuesday afternoon.

Building collapses after quake ERCIS, Turkey (AP) — An Associated Press Television journalist says a 7story building has collapsed two days after a powerful earthquake hit eastern Turkey. The building, with 46 apartments, collapsed on Tuesday in the city of Van. It was not known if anyone was inside but witnesses say voices can be heard. The 7.2-magnitude earthquake has been followed by hundreds of aftershocks and authorities have warned survivors not to enter damaged buildings. Thousands of people spent a second night outdoors in cars or tents in near-freezing conditions.
Gadhafi buried in secret MISRATA, Libya (AP) — A Misrata military council official said Moammar Gadhafi, his son Muatassim and a top aide were buried at dawn Tuesday in a secret location, with a few relatives and officials in attendance. In a text message shown to The Associated Press, spokesman Ibrahim Beitalmal said Islamic prayers were read over the bodies. The information could not be independently verified. The bodies of Gadhafi, his son Muatassim and former Defense Minister Abu Bakr Younis had been held in cold storage in the port city of Misrata since the dictator and members of his entourage were captured near his hometown of Sirte on Thursday. Gadhafi and Muatassim were captured alive, with some injuries, but died in unclear circumstances later that day. Libya’s interim leaders have promised an investigation, responding to mounting international pressure. On Monday, Beitalmal had said the three would be buried in unmarked graves in a secret location to prevent vandalism. Presumably, the graves would also be kept hidden to avoid turning them into shrines for Gadhafi loyalists.

Jailed cops get beer delivery RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — Brazilian police say they are trying to find out why 2,600 cans of beer were delivered to a jail holding police officers charged with crimes. The Rio de Janeiro radio station BandNews FM reports the beer was delivered Sunday to the prison in a northern suburb of the city. Police inspector Waldyr Soares Filho tells the O Globo newspaper that officials are investigating the person who allowed the alcohol into the facility. He says he does not believe it was meant to be used for a party, but he doesn't offer an alternative explanation. Local newspapers last month published photos of a party at the same jail thrown by an officer charged with 16 murders. The man later escaped.

Patience tested over waste, crime at anti-Wall Street protest sites BY MEGHAN BARR Associated Press NEW YORK (AP) — Fed up with petty crime, the all-night racket of beating drums, the smell of human waste and the sight of trampled flowers and grass, police and neighbors are losing patience with some of the anti-Wall Street protests around the U.S. In Oakland, Calif., police in riot gear fired tear gas and bean bags before daybreak Tuesday to disperse about 170 protesters who had been camping in front of City Hall for the past two weeks, and 75 people were arrested. The mayor of Providence, R.I., is threatening to go to court within days to evict demonstrators from a park. And businesses and residents near New York’s Zuccotti Park, the unofficial headquarters of the movement that began in mid-September, are demanding something be done to discourage the hundreds of protesters from urinating in the street and making noise at all hours. “A lot of tourists coming down from hotels are so disgusted and disappointed when they see this,” said Stacey Tzortzatos, manager of a sandwich shop near Zuccotti Park. “I hope for the sake of the city the mayor does close this down.” She complained that the protesters who come in by the dozen to use her bathroom dislodged a sink and caused a flood, and that police barricades are preventing her nor-

TENTS AND debris are seen on Tuesday in Oakland, Calif. Police in riot gear began clearing anti-Wall Street protesters on Tuesday morning from the plaza in front of Oakland's City Hall where they have been camped out for about two weeks. City officials had originally been supportive of the protesters, but the city later warned the protesters that they were breaking the law and could not stay in the encampment overnight. mal lunch crowd from stop- Philly to respond to a letter ping by. containing a list of public In Philadelphia, city offi- safety and health concerns. cials have been waiting al- City Managing Director most two weeks for Occupy Richard Negrin said officials
can’t wait much longer to address hazards such as smoking in tightly packed tents, camp layouts that hinder emergency access, and exposure to human waste. “They just can’t ignore us indefinitely,” Negrin said Tuesday. “Every day that they haven’t addressed these public safety concerns simply increases the risk.” Stephen Campbell, a protester in Boston, said the troublemakers are the minority. “We have a policy here: no drugs, no alcohol,” he said. “Us occupiers really try to stick true to that. Other people who move in, who maybe have an alcohol problem or a drug problem, you know, we’re not fully equipped to handle things like that.” Tensions reached a boiling point in Oakland after a sexual assault, a severe beating and a fire were reported and paramedics were denied access to the camp, according to city officials, who said they had also received numerous complaints of threatening behavior. Mayor Jean Quan said the city was forced to evict the protesters after it became apparent that authorities could not maintain sanitary conditions or control vandalism. When police moved in, they were pelted with rocks, bottles and utensils from people in the camp’s kitchen area, but no one was injured. Protesters were taken away in plastic handcuffs, most of them arrested on suspicion of illegal lodging.
College prices up again Ad exec as states slash budgets convicted BY JUSTIN POPE Associated Press It’s a kick in the gut even for students and families hardened to bad financial news: Average in-state tuition and fees at four-year public colleges rose another $631 this fall, or 8.3 percent, compared to a year ago. Nationally, the cost of a full credit load has passed $8,000, an all-time high. Throw in room and board, and the average list price for a state school now runs more than $17,000 a year, according to the twin annual reports on college costs and student aid published Wednesday by the College Board. Helping drive the national numbers were huge tuition increases at public universities in California, which enrolls 10 percent of public four-year college students and whose 21 percent tuition increase this year was the largest of any state. But even without California, prices would have increased 7 percent on average nationally — an exceptional burden at a time of high unemployment and stagnant family incomes.
The large increase in federal grants and tax credits for students, on top of stimulus dollars that prevented greater state cuts, helped keep the average tuition-and-fees that families actually pay much lower: about $2,490, or just $170 more than five years ago. But the days of states and families relying on budget relief from Washington appear numbered. And some argue that while Washington’s largesse may have helped some students, it did little to hold down prices. “The states cut budgets, the price goes up, and the (federal) money goes to that,” said Patrick Callan, president of the National Center for Public Policy and Higher Education. “For 25 years we’ve been putting more and more money into financial aid, and tuition keeps going up. We’re on a national treadmill.” Terry Hartle, senior vice president at the American Council on Education, which represents colleges in Washington, said the cause of the price increases for the 80 percent of college students who attend public institutions is
clear. State appropriations to higher education declined 18 percent per student over the last three years, the College Board found, the sharpest fall on record. “To see increases of 20 percent, as we saw in California, to see gains of 15 percent in other states, is simply unprecedented,” Hartle said. “Tuition is simply being used as a revenue substitute in many states.” The latest report comes with concerns about student debt front and center among many of the Occupy Wall Street protesters. And President Obama was expected Wednesday to announce a new loan consolidation program, plus measures to encourage more borrowers to use the government’s new income-based repayment option that caps monthly payments. The College Board reports roughly 56 percent of 20092010 bachelor’s degree recipients at public four-years graduated with debt, averaging about $22,000. At private nonprofit universities, the figures were higher — 65 percent and around $28,000.
Overdevelopment worsens flood threat BANGKOK (AP) — As millions of urbanites living a modern lifestyle fear that torrents of floodwater will rage through Thailand’s capital, some in enclaves of a bygone era watch the rising waters with hardly a worry — they live in oldfashioned houses perched on stilts with boats rather than cars parked outside. “No problem for them. They’ll be safe,” says boatman Thongrat Sasai, plying his craft along some of the remaining canals that once crisscrossed Bangkok, earning it a “Venice of the East” moniker. Like most of monsoonswept Asia, the city and its environs have experienced periodic floods since it was founded more than two centuries ago. But recent decades have witnessed dramatic changes — from intense urbanization to rising waters blamed on climate change — that are turning once burden-
some but bearable events into national crises. “In a sense traditional society had an easier coexistence with water and flooding,” says Aslam Perawaiz, an expert at the Bangkok-based Asian Disaster Preparedness Center. “Now, with such rapid development there’s a much bigger problem.” Across Asia, areas of high population density are also those most prone to flooding and other water-related disasters, according to an Associated Press analysis of recent U.N. maps. When overlaid, the maps show such convergence in a wide arc from Pakistan and India, across Southeast Asia, to China, the Philippines and Indonesia. This isn’t mere bad luck. Historically, agrarian societies settled in the continent’s great river basins, including the Ganges in India, the Mekong in Southeast Asia and the Chao Phraya in Bangkok. The
gift of the rivers was fertile land, but it came at the price of almost annual flooding during the monsoon rains. By providing sufficient food for growing populations, these rice bowls in turn spurred the rise of some of Asia’s largest cities from Bangkok to Kolkata, India. The concentration of national resources and wealth means even smaller disasters can have a big impact. Severe flooding this year has killed more than 1,000 people across Asia, and economic losses are running in the tens of billions of dollars. Thailand, suffering its worst flooding in 50 years, offers a prime example of the perils of centralization and man’s fractured bonds to the natural environment. Floodwater has spilled into outlying parts of Bangkok, and the government is scrambling to try to prevent the inundation of the city center.
BY DAVE COLLINS Associated Press HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — A former advertising executive who once had ties to the “Gayle King Show” was convicted Tuesday of kidnapping his exwife, holding her hostage for nearly 12 hours and burning down the Connecticut home they used to share. The jury in Hartford Superior Court convicted 62-yearold Richard Shenkman of all charges. His ex-wife testified that Shenkman fired a handgun near her head, prepared a noose and claimed to have rigged the house with explosives as police surrounded it. The standoff ended when Shenkman came out of the burning home and pointed a handgun at his head. Police subdued him and took him into custody. Shenkman’s lawyer mounted an insanity defense, but the prosecutor argued that Shenkman was just acting mentally ill to avoid prison. Shenkman, who didn’t testify, has been detained since his arrest. He is the brother of Mark Shenkman, founder and president of one of the nation’s largest money management firms, Shenkman Capital Management. His former advertising firm, Primedia, once produced the former “Gayle King Show,” starring Oprah Winfrey’s best friend. Shenkman faces up to 90 years in prison when he is sentenced Jan. 4. In 2009, police said Shenkman kidnapped his exwife, attorney Nancy Tyler, from a downtown Hartford parking garage at gunpoint and forced her to drive about nine miles to the South Windsor home they once shared. Authorities said Shenkman and Tyler were due in court for a divorce-related hearing later that morning, and he was supposed to turn over the house to her or face jail time for contempt of court. Tyler testified at the trial about her harrowing ordeal, saying Shenkman fired a handgun twice near her head, prepared a noose for her and claimed to have rigged the house with explosives as swarms of police surrounded the home.

Voters to decide on replacement fire levy FORT LORAMIE — The Fort Loramie Community Fire Co. Inc. is seeking support from fire district residents to approve a 1.5-mill levy at the Nov. 8 election. The issue is a replacement fire levy and collection will begin after the current levy expires. “Residents will not see an increase in their taxes by passing the levy as the rate will continue as it has for the past 17 years,” Karen Pleiman, fiscal officer for the fire district, said. “The funds
are used to cover the cost of equipment, apparatus, personal protective gear, training and other expenses of the fire company.” Pleiman said the Fort Loramie Fire Co. was audited by the Insurance Standards Organization, which determines the fire-protection rating class for all fire departments in the nation. As a result, the ISO rating improved for the following three portions of the fire district: properties in the
village of Fort Loramie; properties in McLean Township within 1,000 feet of a Fort Loramie village fire hydrant; and properties in McLean, Turtle Creek and Cynthian townships within four road miles of the fire station. The reclassification takes effect Dec. 1. Pleiman explained the ISO rating is used by insurance companies as one of many factors to determine premiums. A lower class rating typically results in lower in-

Group learns lake spillway being evaluated FORT LORAMIE — During the October meeting of the Lake Loramie Improvement Association, George Sholtis, park manager, reported a company is evaluating the status of the Lake Loramie spillway, taking earth core samples at various sites at the west end of the lake. The spillway was constructed in 1935. Sholtis said ash tree cutting will begin in mid- to late November and that about 150 trees have been affected by the emerald ash borer. The trees will probably be felled 10 at a time and the area posted as a firewood collection area for the public. When one area is cleared, 10 more trees will be felled. Sixty to 70 severely infested trees will be cut first. Sholtis explained there is a need to upgrade the projector used to show outdoor movies. A VCR or DVD player can be hooked to it as well as a computer for PowerPoint presentations. Tom Wisener reported something new could be purchased for about $700 and the association voted to appropriate funds not to exceed $800 to purchase a projector. Commenting on the Fall Festival, Sholtis reported the power show
was full and there was an increase from 60 to 76 arts and crafts people, The shuttle was a huge success and will be used next year, he said. Stan and Rita Wuebker retired as camper hosts this year, a volunteer effort they have done for many years. The couple planted and maintained more than 40 of the flowerbeds throughout the park as well as performing other duties. The following slate of officers was elected for 2012: Randy Sparklin, president; Bob Heuker, vice president; Charlotte Smith, secretary-treasurer; Bob Kemper, sergeant-at-arms; and trustees Doug Winner, Larry Moeller and Lynn Smith. A note of appreciation was read from Evan Deiters for sending him to Coonskin Camp and Jon Heuker thanked the group for the donation to his Eagle Scout project. He showed photos of his completed project. Belinda Wolaver reported LLIA membership now totals 383, 43 of them who became new members in 2011. A moment of silence was observed for Dick Herron and Pat Deiters. The group’s next meeting will be Feb. 21 at 7:30 p.m. at the old Eagles lodge in Minster.

Midmark Learning Peerless hits milestone Center aids training for blood donations The parking lot at The Peerless Group facility in Sidney is a common place to see the Community Blood Center (CBC) mobile in Sidney. It parks there several times a year and has frequented the lot since 2004 when plant manager Rob Zielsdorf began coordinating the blood donation collection effort at Peerless. Even though the employee blood donation drive is a regular occurrence, the one on Oct. 14 was different because Peerless reached a milestone of its 1,000th unit of blood collected at an employee drive.
Zielsdorf knew that Peerless reached 982 units at the blood donation drive in August and felt that the 1,000th unit would be collected in October. He would know that information, since he is not just an avid promoter of the blood donation drive; he is also a participant in each blood drive as well and has tracked the employee blood donation drives at Peerless since 2004. What he did not know is that Peerless currently ranks 18th among all business blood drives in CBC’s 15-county service area, an output dispro-
portionately high for the size of the company. Johnathan Hale was the 1,000th unit donor. He was lucky number 16 out of the 34 Peerless employees to donate that day. Additionally, on Oct. 14 The Peerless Group celebrated and recognized the generosity and support of Peerless employees to the United Way campaign with a company luncheon. Eric Cruse, parts and service manager, chaired the Peerless United Way campaign this year. During his review of the results for the 2011 campaign, Cruse reiter-
ated the mission of the United Way, “To improve lives by mobilizing the caring power of communities around the world to advance the common good.” Cruse continued, “Peerless employees attained 100 percent of the company participation goal in supporting the United Way, and the employees surpassed the dollar commitment goal set in this year’s United Way campaign by reaching 105 percent of the goal.” “This type of participation is just another example of what makes our company great — the people,” Cruse said.

VERSAILLES — Midmark Corp. celebrated the opening of the Midmark Learning Center with a ribbon-cutting ceremony held on Oct. 17. Located at the company’s corporate headquarters in Versailles, the learning center is a training facility for Midmark production teammates who are preparing to step into a new role. The Midmark Learning Center concept was developed to simplify the training process so new teammates can master the skills they will use in the production environment one at a time. Training at the learning center focuses on safety procedures, using production tools and assembling products. Upon graduation, teammates will be skilled and trained, familiar with the Midmark Production System and ready for the production floor. “We are very excited about the new learning center and what it provides for teammates and for Midmark,” said Casey Webster, human resources manager. “Midmark is committed to providing an environment that helps teammates strive to reach their fullest potential. At the learning center, teammates can focus on learning without the additional pressures of on-the-job training during live production.” As the learning center continues to evolve, it will provide the same training process for teammates in existing positions who are moving into new roles. This proactive training process enhances quality assurance and fosters a supportive work environment that helps people develop their skills and grow.

New closures on Wapakoneta Avenue Hamilton man charged A new phase of work began on Wapakoneta Avenue Monday. For the next two weeks, Wapakoneta Avenue from Hoewisher Road to Interstate 75 will be closed for extended hours to allow the contractor more time to finish utility work and excavate the road base. The city anticipates reopening the road late each evening. After the two-week period, the contractor will revert
back to working daylight hours of 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. There will be no through traffic during the construction hours, and the contractor will be required to maintain traffic for residents living on this section of the road. Detours will be posted for the traveling public. It is still the city’s goal to have the asphalt work completed by Thanksgiving, weather permitting. WaAdditionally,
COMPUTER Frye said he was directed by Nasal to submit the computer to the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation and Identification for examination and production of a mirrored image of the hard drive, which he did. He said they have not received a report yet. In another matter, officials learned the sheriff’s office had been suspended from the Mid Atlantic Great Lakes Organized Crime Intelligence Network because of the charges against Kimpel. Privileges were reinstated Thursday when interim Sheriff John Lenhart contacted agency officials and informed them he was now serving as sheriff. The agency provides equipment, shares intelligence and has money available for law enforcement agencies. The agency has six regional centers and covers an area including New Jersey, Michigan, Ohio, Delaware, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Indiana and New York. It provides support to local, state, federal
and tribal law enforcement agencies. Frye said he was notified Oct. 11 that membership in the agency has been suspended. The local office could not use the system to obtain information for investigations unless it was a member. “That program is important in obtaining information on a suspect in a case — previous addresses, registrations, known associates,” and other information, Frye said. It also provides information to the Ohio Law Enforcement Gateway, the program Kimpel has been charged with misusing. Lenhart, who has been named interim sheriff pending the outcome of Kimpel’s cases, said losing access to the intelligence network impacted the sheriff’s office’s ability to obtain needed resources and assets. “I’ve never known any agency that’s been suspended, all the years I’ve been a member,” Lenhart said. Lenhart said the suspension indicates a lack of trust.

They include a federal operating grant in the amount of $317,862, state operating grant of $41,302, federal capital grant of $146,001 and federal capitalized maintenance grant funds of $42,840. Resolutions adopting an amended alcohol and controlled substances abuse policy for Shelby Public Transit, and contracting with the Ohio Department of Transportation for elderly and disabled fare assistance were also approved by Monday night. The alcohol and substance legislation includes new definitions, new testing thresholds and the inclusion of “Ecstasy” as a prohibited substance. The transit authority is required to maintain a drug and alcohol-free workplace. Still a third public transit resolution approved by council contracts with ODOT’s Elderly and Disabled Fare Assistance program which annually reimburses the city half of the $2.50 general public rate for elderly and disabled riders. The city has been awarded $20,628 to offset farebox losses during 2010. Following council’s legislative session, Police Chief Kevin Gessler led a presentation on Sidney traffic safety issues. He said traffic accidents since Sept. 1, 2010, have totaled 633, with 145 of them hit and run in nature with 84 injuries and three fatalities. Twentyeight involved alcohol or drugs. Other causes included failure to control,

131; rear-end collisions, 122; failure to yield, 74; and driver inattention, 14. “A considerable amount of the accidents that occur in Sidney involve drivers who are simply not paying attention,” Kessler told council. He listed three main causes of driver distraction: visual (taking eyes off the road); manual (taking hands off the wheel); and cognitive (taking one’s mind off what he or she is doing). Other distracting activities include using a cell phone, eating or drinking, talking to passengers, grooming, reading, including maps, using a PDAS or navigation system, watching a video or changing the radio station, CD or mp3 player. The chief said a bill banning the use of cellular phones while driving passed the Ohio House in June, but the Senate bill “is stalled in the Highways and Transportation committee.”
pakoneta Avenue will be open and the road drivable on Election Day, Nov. 8. City police/fire and the Shelby County Sheriff ’s office have been advised of the road closures and advised to use alternate routes during the construction period. For questions or concerns, area residents may contact Nick Miller project manager, at 498-7244 or Chris Clark, Public Works director, at 4988142. The total project cost
of $3,000,000 for the design and construction for this phase of Wapakoneta Avenue is primarily grant funded by an Ohio Department of Transportation Small Cities Grant in amount of the $2,000,000; a Ohio Public Works Commission State Issue I Grant in the amount of $407,780; and Shelby County providing $495,944. The city of Sidney’s contribution toward the project represents 5 percent of the total project cost.

in toddler’s death MERCER COUNTY — A Hamilton man charged in the death of a 3-year-old Minster girl will appear in Mercer County Common Xu P l e a s Court in November. Jinghao Xu, 50, of Hamilton, remains incarcerated at the Mercer County Detention Facility. He is scheduled to be arraigned in Mercer County Common Pleas Court on Nov. 9 at 10:30 a.m. on the charge of vehicular homicide. He is being charged with the death of a 3year-old following an accident which took place on Saturday, Oct. 16 at 11:24 a.m. Xu reportedly stopped his 2006 Chevrolet Express van westbound at the Ohio 119 stop sign. He then proceeded into the intersection hitting a 2002 Chevrolet Prism which was northbound on U.S. 127 and driven by Hillary Hartings, 22, of Maria Stein. Three-year-old Aubrey Lynn Bruns, the
daughter of John and Rebecca Lynn (Kramer) Bruns, was seated in the back seat behind Hartings, and was pronounced dead in the emergency room at Mercer County Community Hospital in Coldwater. Her brothers, 6-year-old Conner Bruns, a frontseat passenger, and 9year-old Keaton Bruns, also a backseat passenger, were taken to Community Hospital and later transferred to Children’s Medical Center in Dayton. Both were treated and released. The two youngest children were using booster seats. The oldest child and Hartings were wearing seat belts. Both drivers were treated and released from Community Hospital. Xu speaks limited English and deputies investigating the accident used an interpreter. The accident remains under investigation. Responding to the scene were St. Henry Fire Department, four emergency squads from St. Henry and Coldwater and the Mercer County Emergency Response Volunteers.

People with diabetes are prone to this infection. It spreads rapidly, turning the skin red, hot and painful. Immediate treatment with antibiotics usually can stop the infection. Sixty days is an exceptionally long time to have the infection once antibiotics are started. Most often, the infection can be controlled in a week to 10 days. Elevation of the infected leg or arm is most helpful. People who have had one bout of cellulitis are likely to have another.

Three days later, our neighbor came over with the estimate, and I wrote him a check.
As time went on, I noticed the car wasn’t fixed, so one day when I saw him outside I asked him about it. He told me his wife needed some things, so he gave her the money I had given him. He said he wasn’t really that concerned about the car. Since I gave him the money to fix the car, shouldn’t he have used it for that purpose? My husband says once I gave our neighbor the money, it was his to do with as he liked. I feel I did the right thing, and he took the money knowing he was never going to fix the dent.

50 Years Ago October 26, 1961 Lee Kaufman, a 10year member of the Sidney Jaycees, was honored with the presentation of a life membership in Junior Chamber International at the meeting of
District 13, hosted by members of the Delphos Jaycees in that city Saturday evening. The Junior Chamber International Senatorship 2688 was presented by Sidney President Tom Schlagetter in recognition of Kaufman’s outstanding service to both the local organization and the community of Sidney. The Senatorship is the highest individual award that can be given a Jaycee member. ——— Botkins got another chance to cheer for its 60-piece high school marching band when the unit took first place honors in its division at the Tipp City Mum festival. Earlier this fall, the band directed by Robert Pforsich, music instructor at the Botkins School, had titles at the Mercer County fair and the recent Bradford Pumpkin Show.

But after five consecutive victories and a 3-0 mark in the Big Ten Conference, Ohio State Coach Earle Bruce took the time to chide his team’s doubters. “I was disappointed we were 02, but I have to be honest with you that we were still a solid football team even at that point.”

County girls soccer teams out of tourney
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — A funny thing happened to Ohio State during its bye week: The Buckeyes became a contender. Wisconsin’s stunning lastsecond loss at Michigan State means that Ohio State, despite winning just one of its three Big Ten games, can still win its division. To do that the Buckeyes almost have to win out — starting with a showdown Saturday against the wounded 12th-ranked Badgers at Ohio Stadium. “Ultimately it comes down to us taking care of our own business,” interim coach Luke Fickell said Tuesday. “Whether you need help, there’s always a light at the end of the tunnel.” Penn State (4-0), Wisconsin (2-1) and Purdue (2-1) still lie ahead on the Buckeyes’ schedule. If they were to somehow win their final five games, the Bucks — beset by NCAA problems and injuries — could still represent the Leaders Division in the inaugural Big Ten title game on Dec. 3. They do need someone else to also beat No. 21 Penn State. But the Nittany Lions have a meat-grinder of a schedule that includes games at home against Illinois and Nebraska sandwiched around a bye week, and then closing on the road at Ohio State and Wisconsin. Defensive tackle John Simon said the Buckeyes (4-3, 1-2) got a boost from knowing that they no longer are dependent on several others to play for what matters the most. Just a short time after being 0-2 and headed nowhere in the conference, now they have some hope. “It gave a lot of guys motivation,” Simon said. But all of the talk of contention doesn’t amount to a hill of horse-chestnuts if they don’t beat the Badgers. “We have a lot of things to play for. We understand that,” Fickell said of his players’ reaction to Wisconsin’s stunning 37-31 loss to the Spartans on
The three remaining county girls soccer teams were all eliminated from postseason play in sectional final action Monday night. • Sidney played Troy in the Division I final at Centerville, and after beating the Lady Trojans recently to clinch the league title, the Lady Jackets were unable to do it again, falling 3-1 to end the season with a 12-5-2 record. Sidney’s lone goal came from Monique Hanayik on a penalty kick. “I thought our girls played hard,” said Sidney head coach Stacey Goffena. “We just did not have luck in our favor tonight. Two of the goals they scored were off direct kicks. “To watch the game, our play did not reflect the score,” she added. “We had opportnities, we just could not convert.” • Lehman took on topseeded Miami East in the sectional finals and lost 2-0. Like Sidney, the Lady Cavs also beat their opponent in the final week of the regular season, but couldn’t duplicate the effort. Miami East scored in the first five minutes of the first half, and again in the first five minutes of the second half. “We outshot them in the first half and played very well,” said Lehman coach Bill Ramey. “We had some good opportunities, but we didn’t finish. And they came out in the second half and outshot us 14-4.” Grace Frantz had 11 saves for the Lady Cavs. “It would have been nice to get this one for the seniors,” said Ramey. “It’s a good group and they’re great leaders.” • Anna took on unbeaten and second-seeded Troy Christian in the sectional finals at Fairborn and dropped a 4-1 verdict. The Lady Rockets finished the season with a 14-4 record.
Buckeyes suddenly find themselves in contention
AP Photo/Seth Perlman, File
OHIO STATE coach Luke Fickell speaks with his team during the second half of an NCAA college football game against Illinois in Champaign, Ill. Ohio State was a big winner in its week off. Not only did the Buckeyes mend and rest but they also became a surprising, sudden contender in the Big Ten’s Leaders Division. Just in time for a visit from Wisconsin. a desperation heave that a video review confirmed as a touchdown. “Maybe it’s another little something that our guys saw. Maybe they believe in themselves a little bit more. Maybe they see vulnerability. I don’t know what it is. Whatever it is, it still comes down to us taking care of what we need to take care of.” There are subplots aplenty in the game, starting with how the Badgers (6-1, 2-1 Big Ten) respond to the defeat in East Lansing, Mich. “I expect this group to bounce back, as they did late in the fourth quarter, and put everything in as preparation,” Wisconsin coach Bret Bielema said on Sunday. “(This is) a great opportunity this week to go on the road, a night game, national stage against a traditional opponent that we all look forward to at Ohio State.” Game time adds to the mix.
“It should be pretty crazy. I know our fans will get up for it with a power-ranked team, coming into Columbus,” Simon said. “We’re looking forward to the challenge. It’s going to be a fun night.” One other undercurrent of the game is what happened the last time the teams met. On Oct. 16, 2010, Ohio State was enjoying its ascension to No. 1 in the latest Associated Press rankings when it came to Madison, Wis. The Badgers promptly rolled to a 21-0 halftime lead and then held off a secondhalf Buckeyes rally for a 31-18 victory. It would lead to the two teams tying for the Big Ten title with Michigan State. (That title and Ohio State’s 12-1 mark in 2010 were later vacated by the university as part of its self-imposed NCAA sanctions for playing players who had accepted improper
benefits.) Fickell stressed that last year’s game is a distant memory. But, by the same token, he didn’t tell his team to just forget it. “This isn’t redemption, this isn’t repayment,” he said. “You learn from losses. You learn how to react and respond. But you never forget the feeling. That’s the one thing I reminded them of. We’re not going to dwell upon last year. That was last year. We’re focused on what we do, but don’t forget the feeling.” Wisconsin’s loss has also reinforced to the Badgers that they still control their own destiny and, if they win out, can assure their own trip to the first Big Ten title game. “We explain to them that this week is a divisional game,” Bielema said. “Four of our next five are. Those are big ones.”
Redskins clinch spot in D-VI playoffs BY KEN BARHORST AND DAVE ROSS Congratulations are in order for the Fort Loramie Redskins, who have toiled in obscurity the past two weeks against weak opponents that they handled easily. Those wins have given the Redskins an 8-1 record and clinched a playoff spot in Region 24 of Division VI. Were the season to end today, Loramie would get a rematch with Minster in the first round of the playoffs. Minster is in seventh spot, and in a somewhat precarious position, since always-powerful Coldwater comes to town Friday night. A win puts the Wildcats in easily, but a loss will make it interesting. Anna’s loss to Versailles, meanwhile, eliminated the Rockets from playoff contention, and they will try to end the season with a winning record (6-4) Friday night when Parkway comes to town. As expected, the victory over Anna pushed Versailles into position to earn a postseason berth in Region 20 of D-V. The Tigers are 7-2 and in seventh spot, and will no doubt win Friday night over 1-8 St. Henry. But there won’t be a lot of points for that win, so it may depend on what happens with the other contenders in the region.

Pepper-sprayed An elaborate dance made popular by a New Zealand rugby team got some football fans in a small Utah town pepper-sprayed by local police following a game last week. The incident happened in Roosevelt, Utah, following the game between Uintah High School and Union High School. A pair of officers tried to break up a dozen or so dancers who were blocking an exit, according to the Salt Lake Tribune. A YouTube video of the encounter shows a group of men performing a traditional Haka dance, which consists of loud stomping and big synchronized movements. Seconds later, police began spraying pepper spray and the crowd fell back, with many bystanders screaming in pain. Witnesses told the Associated Press that the dancers may not have been able to hear the police request to make way for players because they were in the middle of their dance, which was meant to cheer up Union High School after the team lost.

JUNIOR HIGH VOLLEYBALL RECAP Jackson 7th grade, Knoxville 8th grade finish undefeated The junior high volleyball season recently came to an end with conference tournament play. Highlighting the season were the unbeaten teams at Jackson Center and New Knoxville. Jackson’s 7th grade team finished a perfect 20-0 and New Knoxville’s 8th graders ended up 19-0. Following is a look at the junior high season, school-by-school:
Russia 7th grade — The Russia 7th grade volleyball team finished with an 8-9 record this season, and advanced to the semifinals of the County tournament. Players included Maddie Borchers, Christina Gaerke, Chloe Sherman, Maria Herron, Kelsey Magoto, Rachel Claira McElYork, downey, Faith Magoto, Audrey Gariety, Katie Swartz, Julia Monnin and Emma Springle. 8th grade — The Russia 8th grade finished the season with a 6-11 record, a mark that is a bit deceiving since the team was involved in a lot of matches that were quite close. “Team members were close on and off the court and showed unlimited support for one another. They were a great group of girls to coach and continued to improve all season,” said coach Janelle Cantwil, who coaches both junior high teams. Players included Samantha Monnin, Elizabeth Adams, Hannah Cohee, Rachel Hueing, Erin Gaerke, Kara Barlage, Cassie Pleiman and Ellie Fiessinger.
Anna 7th grade — The Anna 7th grade team finished with a 7-8 record. “That may not sound that good on paper, but these girls turned a bad start into a talented and determined team,” said coach Sara Geise. “They started the season with quite a few losses and we knew we had to change something. We looked at the offense and decided to ask our number one setter to step up and run a 5-1. She agreed and the team gained confidence and started winning. This team came a long way and I can’t wait to see their talent grow over the next few years.” Players included Kennedy Glover, Kelsey Meyer, Leona Roe, Chloe Spence, Krista Gehret, Sammy Roe, Audrey Barhorst, Alisha Holzapple, Grace Ontrup and Claire Spicer. 8th grade — The Anna 8th grade team finshed as County cochamps with a 10-2 record, and went on to finish runner-up in the County Tournament. “We had a very strong year, which was expected because of the great achievements during their seventh grade year,” said coach Amber Warbington. “As a team, we made a lot of growth at the beginning of the season. Serving was a strong point. This was a great group of girls to coach because they were all so willing to put themselves on the line for their team.” Players included Paige Richard, Mackenzie Wells, Sarah Bettinger, Elizabeth Landis, Hunter Knouff, Chelsea Kerns, CJ Cathcart, Ashley Dentinger, Avery Bensman, Taylor Bergman and Caileigh Kirtley.

But each game just made them better. They are very unselfish and truly wanted what was best for the team, not only on the floor but away from it, too.” Players included Cassie Meyer, Kamryn Elchert, Kasey Copeland, Camryn Hoehne, Vanessa Winner, Miranda Hickey, Christen Ware, and Abby Dickman. 8th grade — The Jackson Center 8th grade’s success was surpassed only by the 7th grade, after they finished with a fine 18-2 mark. “A very successful season,” said coach Tara Spicer. “The girls set high expectations and knew they had to give 110 percent to reach them. We started off playing Piqua Catholic and Fort Loramie. Loramie was a big game, and after we lost to them, we were able to see our flaws and what we needed to work on. Being tough mentally
seemed to be one of our weaknesses and when we overcame that, we put it together pretty well. Being league and tournament champions showed many fans that their hard work paid off.” Players included Erynn Sosby, Lauren Metz, Erin Metz, Pauline Meyer, Jayel Frye, Danielle Glick, Alexis Dearwester, Jaclyn Schmiesing, Peyton Esser, Abby Meyer, Kelsey Jones, Courtney

Shurmur will continue JUNIOR HIGH to dial up Browns’ ‘O’ JEFF SCHUDEL AP Exchange Pat Shurmur seems OK with the idea of an offensive coordinator being hired for next season — as long as he continues to call the plays. Currently, Shurmur is the head coach and offensive coordinator. He does not design the game plan alone. Instead, he relies on his offensive assistants for input. Last week, team president Mike Holmgren brought up the offensive coordinator idea during a long session with the media. “We did not hire an offensive coordinator (for 2011) because we didn’t think the right person was there or the fit was right,” Holmgren said. “But I think now, as he goes through this season, I don’t expect him to change calling the game, but in all likelihood we’ll hire an offensive coordinator next year because that frees the head coach up in his preparation for
8th grade – The eighth grade team finished with a 9-8 record this season and earned a spot in the GWOC Gold Tournament. “I don’t think 9-8 adequately shows how competitive this team became this season,” said coach Kendra Replogle. “I’m confident that these girls have what it takes to play volleyball at the high school level. They became a team that made opponents work hard for a win, and this came from working hard in practice.” Players included Bobbi Lowe, Hayden Spurgeon, AP Photo/Amy Sancetta McKenzie Lambdin, TayCLEVELAND BROWNS head coach Pat Shurmur, lor Schmidt, Dori Straright, and defensive coordinator Dick Jauron watch men, Adrienna Cook, Westerbeck Hannnah warm ups before a game in Cleveland. and Ariona Grisham. the game during the structures where the Botkins week.

Judge candidates stress experience BY TOM BARNETT tbarnett@sdnccg.com Appointed Sidney Municipal Court Judge Duane Goettemoeller is being opposed Nov. 8 by Sidney attorney Jeffrey J. Beigel for the unexpired two years of retired Judge Donald Luce’s term of office. Goettemoeller was appointed to the bench by thenOhio Gov. Ted Strickland following Luce’s retirement. Beigel is a partner in the Sidney law firm of Kerrigan, Boller & Beigel Co. LPA. Goettemoeller, an Anna resident, is a graduate of the University of Salzburg, Austria, St. Joseph’s College and Catholic Theological Union. His law degree is from the University of Cincinnati. He has previously served as an assistant prosecutor for the city and county, and worked in several other private law practices. He and his wife, Melody, have three children, Andrew, Megan and Anne Marie. Beigel, a Sidney native, has college degrees from Miami University, Ohio State University and his law degree is from Ohio State University. He and his wife, Lorie, have two daughters, Katherine and Alex. To help voters make their choice in the approaching November election, the Daily News is publishing the two candidates’ responses to the following prepared list of questions about their candidacy: 1. Why are you seeking the position? What do you feel you can contribute? Goettemoeller: I want to continue as judge of Sidney Municipal Court because I am a very good judge. As your judge, I protect the safety of the community for which I care a great deal. You have watched my actions as your judge over the last year; you know that I am a commonsense, no-nonsense judge. Over 30 years ago, I began my legal career in the U.S. Attorney’s office in Cincinnati and then moved back to Shelby County where I was born. My experience includes positions as a former city of Sidney assistant prosecutor, as well as a former Shelby County public defender. For 24 years, I worked as an assistant Shelby County prosecuting attorney, working with our abused and neglected children. I have the experience a judge needs. My family life growing up on a farm taught me additional lessons. I learned common sense and strong values. I believe we must respect life and that all should get the same fair and impartial treatment in court and there are no favorites. I am moved to do the right thing every day and treat each person with the dignity and respect they deserve. Beigel: It is a privilege to serve as Municipal Court judge. The position requires good legal stewardship, people skills and a conservative’s respect for our community’s financial resources. I believe the combination of my extensive experience in prosecution, defense and civil matters, 22 years of handling cases in Municipal Court and my business education and experience make me the best qualified candidate to meet those needs. I’ve maintained a successful private practice of law in our community for more than 22 years. The past nine years I have also been handling civil and criminal matters as an assistant Shelby County prosecutor, including all appeals, all felony preliminary and bond hearings in Municipal Court, and working closely with our trustees and commissioners to solve the problems they face. For a decade I have served as solicitor for three of our villages. I have a Juris Doctorate and an Executive Master of
Municipal Court judge
Duane Goettemoeller Business Administration degree from The Ohio State University and a bachelor’s from Miami University. 2. What do you believe is the main difference between you and your opponent? Beigel: Our community should elect its judges. This election will be the first opportunity voters get to replace Judge Donald Luce after his early retirement in 2010. In January 2011, Gov. Ted Strickland made the temporary appointment to the seat pending this election. Voters are in the best position to determine who has demonstrated the qualities and values they expect of their judges. When they consider my experience, reputation and character, I believe they will find that I am the better candidate. Goettemoeller: The greatest difference is common sense which grows out of our experiences. Common sense drives all of my decisions. Common sense tells me more than anything we all want to be safe and feel that courts are doing their job, that they are fair and impartial to all. Common sense is what drove the budget I proposed for next year at a cost not seen since 2007. Crime is down, we don’t need as many people or to spend as much. It is what made me ask for a grant (which we got) for $250,000 to deal with those who are mentally ill. We don’t have it in the budget. Common sense is used when I sentence anyone; anyone can make a mistake, but if you keep coming back, I will make sure that you spend more time in jail and with our probation department. 3. Your feelings on the court’s in-lieu-of-jail options (community service, treatment, counseling)? Gottemoeller: My primary job is to keep Shelby County safe. In-lieu-of options give the court the authority to be involved as long as it is necessary to keep our communities safe. My experience growing up on the farm made me order more community service as part of sentencing because “idle minds are the devil’s workshop.” By the end of the year, our community service program in lieu of jail will have returned approximately $80,000 in services to the city and county. People in jail sit and listen to other criminals and learn how to be better criminals. The numbers continue to bear this out. County cases (everything but highway patrol and liquor agent cases) were down 40 percent through September this year, compared to last year, and this is when so many people are out of work. The threat of actual jail hanging over a person’s head prevents more crime than just putting them in jail. When jail time is finished, the court has no real power over defendants. Jail currently costs the city $55 per day and is by far the most expensive option. Community service, treatment and counseling are not only cheaper for taxpayers, but often prevent more crimes. Until we can reinstate the
Term: The remaining two unexpired years of retired Judge Donald Luce’s office term. (The full term is six years). Base salary: $114,000 and an additional $1,500 as an administrative judge. Duties: To administer justice to misdemeanor criminal and traffic cases in Shelby County. work program in jail, putting defendants in to eat and sleep at county expense is not a good use of money. Jail is best used to put defendants who have done wrong and will do wrong again, especially with violence, sex and drugs. Beigel: I often refer to Municipal Court as the court of first impression. For many people, it is their first encounter with the court system. How we handle offenders in this court can leave a meaningful impression and prevent later and more serious offenses. The use of these options gives people the chance to prove they are serious about not re-offending. These are tools which should be available to fashion just sentences, but not as free passes for those who deserve jail and pose a risk to others. 4. Should jail sentences continue to be suspended upon payment of fines and costs in all misdemeanor cases? Beigel: We have jail for a reason. If a defendant deserves jail, I will order it. Jailing individuals simply because they do not have the money to pay, however, should not be an approach of first choice. The use of probation to encourage the payment of fines and costs is certainly appropriate. Goettemoeller: This is really two questions: A. Should jail sentences be suspended upon payment of fines and costs; and B. Are all jail sentences suspended in all misdemeanor cases? I really can’t answer this question because the great majority of misdemeanors do not have any suspended jail sentences. The answer to A is yes, when suspended sentences keep someone in line, prevents more crime and saves taxpayers money. Actual time for hardened criminals is the best and only choice. Not everyone should go to jail. The answer to B is “no.” Most misdemeanors’ sentences usually don’t have a suspended jail sentence; most just a fine. In cases where jail is suspended, defendants are placed on probation, and they must follow all rules of probation; they don’t walk away with a slap on the wrist. Probation is much less expensive than jail and allows the court to prevent crime. Finally, my court does all it can to keep working people working, since working people commit fewer crimes. 5. What new programs would you advocate? Goettemoeller: The biggest problem in Municipal Court is defendants with mental health problems, which also includes many veterans. Telling victims that nothing can be done is not fair, nor is just putting people in jail. That was the purpose for getting the $250,000 grant this year — to work on mental health defendants. We must change the way we deal with these people so we don’t have to keep paying to take them through the system again and again. That will save us money. Filing documents electronically will make the court more user-friendly. Service by
Internet will also reduce costs. I have the blueprint for doing this, but it will take a couple of years to pay without increasing the budget. We are also trying to make it easier to use credit/debit cards, which could help to better pay the costs of the court. Finally, I plan to impose a pay-as-you go system on garnishment actions, which could raise about $36,000 per year. Beigel: I will immediately take steps to reinstate work release, community service and house arrest initiatives. I believe this can be done with little or no cost to the community to help the court administer appropriate sentences while keeping our citizens safe. The court must get nonviolent offenders doing their part to serve our community at the same time they serve their sentences. Having defendants sit idly in jail or simply paying their way out of a crime doesn’t make good horse sense to law-abiding Shelby County citizens. I have discussed these issues with the sheriff’s office and city administration and believe we can partner effectively to coordinate the use of these valuable tools. In criminal cases I believe there are better bail practices to ensure the safety and fiscal affairs of our community. If a defendant poses a risk of flight or danger to the community I will require reasonable bail monies up front. Since January, the court has been ordering monetary bail, but releasing defendants on their own recognizance without requiring the money or surety be deposited with the court. That requires the court to try to collect that money if a defendant flees or commits another crime. 6. Should Shelby County villages continue to operate mayors’ courts? Beigel: I believe our villages and townships are a great part of the strength of our county and that their local governments should be respected. The Ohio Supreme Court has greatly reduced the role of mayor’s courts. As long as they operate within the bounds of the law, however, they certainly have every right to handle local matters as they see fit. When requested, defendants also have the right to have their cases transferred to Municipal Court. In those instances I will gladly assist our villages when asked. Goettemoeller: This is a political question. Judges don’t make laws. In my court, politics wears a blindfold. The law leaves this question up to each village; I will follow the village’s wishes. 7. What laws do you feel are the court’s most important new challenges in the enforcement of local and state laws? Goettemoeller: The first concern is keeping the public safe, which we look at every day. We have met the initial budget issues squarely and will keep doing so. The state’s changes of the license suspension laws take away jail time as a penalty. We are trying more non-jail ways of dealing
Jeffrey J. Beigel with people who drive illegally. The state’s new sentencing changes put more serious offenders in our local jail. Recent Ohio law changes will increase the number of theft charges in Municipal Court. Reduction in law enforcement personnel requires them to do more with less, making us less safe. Our biggest increase will come from people who have been off work too long in this economy. As always, drugs are a problem, no matter what kind. I am looking for a grant to try a pilot program opening up drug sellers’ lives, but that is still up to granting authorities. Beigel: Ongoing legislative changes continue to affect the court. As a recent example, House Bill 86 makes some of the most significant changes to criminal and prison laws we have seen since 1996, including making many crimes misdemeanors that used to be felonies. HB 86 will have an impact on the docket and administration of the court. It is an ever-present challenge for the court to effectively adapt to such changes and implement solutions that keep it functioning well while reducing costs. 8. Feel free to address any new program or programs you feel would benefit law enforcement agencies, the court itself, or the community in general. Beigel: Last year, the prior court worked on a grant for Shelby County Justice and Mental Health Diversion project which was applied for in 2011 and recently approved. I believe it will be beneficial. The court should continue pursuing appropriate grant opportunities. New legislation also provides the opportunity to establish other programs, like an alternative sentencing center, that should be evaluated to see if they can be cost-effectively tailored to meet the needs of our community. Goettemoeller: I seriously hope our new sheriff can bring back the work program for jailed prisoners. Not only did this serve the county well, but it made defendants accountable for their time in jail. Without that program, options for dealing with defendants have been limited under current law. I’ve had some conversations with city officials about developing a lesser-cost alternative to jail for nonviolent prisoners. Again, money is a difficulty, but keeping prisoners working is better than just sitting in jail. I order defendants to give probation full access to social media accounts like Facebook to keep them “honest.” Other programs monitor cell phone usage, but they are still too expensive. The court will continue looking at this, if done wisely and fairly under the law. I have also looked at payto-stay programs where the defendant pays the county back for their jail stay. I and most judges have seen reports like the one by Clermont County Sheriff A.J. Rodenberg, who found they cost counties more than they recover, and sometimes just add to the cost of putting people in jail.
