Cooking up a storm ‘Students’ attend Taste of Home school BY PATRICIA SPEELMAN pspeelman@sdnccg.com BOTKINS — A few of the 700 “students” who attended the Taste of Home Cooking School presented by the Sidney Daily News Tuesday got to taste the dishes concocted by culinary specialist Cheryl Cohen when they won them as doorprizes. But everyone went home a winner. The event, at Only Believe Ministries in Botkins, featured live and video demonstrations of cooking techniques for dishes whose recipes have been included in one of the many Taste of Home magazines or cookbooks. Attendees received goody bags with products and coupons furnished by Taste of Home Cooking School national sponsors and local sponsors. Prior to the demonstrations, they visited the booths of area vendors for free samples and information about products for sale. Don Lee and Joann Gray, of Sidney, were third-year participants in the cooking school. This year, they brought with them Joann’s sister, Shirley Burkett, of Lewisburg, who was a first-timer. “They told me how much fun they had the last time,” Burkett said. She was hoping

Real estate values ready for inspection Shelby County Auditor Denny York has announced that tentative real estate values affecting taxes for the next three years have been determined and are available for public inspection on the auditor’s website. York said his office has been working with Appraisal Research Corp. for two years to revalue more than 30,000 parcels in Shelby County. In the process, all structures have been photographed both from the air and from street level and every property individually reviewed for construction quality, size, condition and other unique factors that contribute to value. Also, a thorough evaluation of sales statistics by neighborhood was conducted and valuation adjustments applied when the location of the property contributed to value in either a positive or negative way.

Sidney resident honors fallen soldiers The first year the traveling Vietman Wall was brought to Sidney in 2006, memorial trees were planted along Veterans Memorial Walkway in Custenborder Fields to honor the 17 Shelby County veterans killed or missing in action during the conflict. The trees were purchased with donated funds, but insufficient funding was available at that time to install individual metal plaques engraved with the name of each fallen hero. Sidney resident Jim Gaier has purchased the plaques and is raising funds from within Shelby County to pay for them. Any extra funds will be donated to the county’s Vets to D.C. program.

‘Meth lab’ busted BY JENNIFER BUMGARNER jbumgarner@sdnccg.com Two men were arrested Tuesday with what appeared to be a meth making kit inside of a back pack. Eion Wayne Dangerfield, 20, at large, and Joseph Taylor Stone, 18, at large were arrested by Sidney police and charged with illegal assembly of chemicals for the manufacture of drugs. They were arrested after police responded to a report that someone had a “meth lab” in their possession on the 300 block of Jefferson Street at about 5:30 p.m. Officers found a back pack inside a trash container in the alley at the rear of 726 Broadway Ave. Upon further inspection, the contents were deter-

Both individuals were taken to the police department for further questioning and eventually were charged and placed in the Shelby County Jail. As part of the investigation into this matter investigators have been in touch with authorities in Indiana because Dangerfield may be facing similar charges there.

The Ohio National Guard soldiers are preparing to deploy to Afghanistan in the next few days.

Former NFL QB visits Ohio troops HATTIESBURG, Miss. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Former NFL quarterback Brett Favre has paid a surprise visit to Ohio National Guard soldiers who are preparing to deploy to Afghanistan in the next few days. Favre spoke to and took photos with the 500 soldiers during an hourlong visit Tuesday at the Camp Shelby Training Center south of Hattiesburg, Miss. The soldiers make up five units of Task Force 1st Battalion, 134th Field Artillery. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had the opportunity to be part of some great things, but to be invited and asked to come speak to these guys, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a special feeling. For what these guys and these ladies do, words canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really express our gratitude towards them,â&#x20AC;? Favre said before talking to the soldiers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To be here and put a smile on their face â&#x20AC;Ś If it seems so minor to be able to come in and say hello and maybe lift people up and offer your time, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a special thing to me. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m more honored.â&#x20AC;? The Hattiesburg American reports (http://hatne.ws/uWy4S7

) Favre talked about teamwork, dedication to a goal, team chemistry and working as a unit. Favre retired this fall after a 20-year career. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It really was motivating,â&#x20AC;? said Spc. Edward Hughes, holding a football that Favre had autographed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He has a lot of experience with teamwork and team building and I really took it to heart. I know itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to help as we go forward.â&#x20AC;? Sgt. 1st Class Douglas Boyer served as moderator for the event. â&#x20AC;&#x153;After the first question, he basically spoke about we needed to hear. He spoke about motivation. He spoke about teamwork. He was speaking to the soldiers using his experiences and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what we were trying to get out of him,â&#x20AC;? Boyer said. Favre spoke of the need to be able to focus on the next task, regardless of whether the outcome of the one before had been good or bad. â&#x20AC;&#x153;First and foremost, you have to be willing to take risks, and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to be able to overcome adversity, on and off the field,â&#x20AC;? Favre said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not always going to be good.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;One of the things when I talk to young quarterbacks I work with a local high school in my spare time â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Oak Grove â&#x20AC;&#x201D; is that after a great play, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s OK to be excited, but you have to go on to the next play. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all aware that you have to go on to the next play after something bad happens, but you have to be able to do that after something good happens, too. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you dwell on what happens, whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good or bad, then the next play or the next event â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which is the most important â&#x20AC;&#x201D; will be overlooked,â&#x20AC;? he said.

MUNICH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Convicted of serving as a Nazi death camp guard and in failing health at 91, John Demjanjuk still hopes he might be able to return home to Ohio, his son says after seeing his father face-to-face for the first time since his deportation in 2009. In an interview with The Associated Press, John Demjanjuk Jr. said if a court battle in Ohio results in his father being given permission by Germany to return home, he would do so even before his appeal in Germany is heard. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Absolutely, immediately,â&#x20AC;? Demjanjuk said after visiting with his father for four days at his nursing home in the Bavarian town of Bad Feilnbach. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re Americans â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Americans of Ukrainian heritage â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s his home.â&#x20AC;? Demjanjuk was found guilty in May on 28,060 counts of accessory to murder after a Munich court found that evidence showed he was a guard during the war the Nazisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Sobibor death camp in occupied Poland. The case was the first time someone was convicted in Germany on the basis only of having been a guard, without evidence of a specific killing. Ukrainian-born Demjanjuk was a Soviet Red Army soldier captured by the Germans in Crimea in 1942. The Munich court found that he agreed to

serve the Nazis as a guard at Sobibor. Demjanjuk has consistently rejected the allegation, insisting he never served as a guard anywhere and was held in German camps himself for much of World War II. Demjanjuk was sentenced to five years in prison in Germany but released pending appeal, which could take another year or more. In releasing Demjanjuk, the court put no restrictions on his travel, but he has no passport after being stripped of his U.S. citizenship ahead of his deportation to Germany in 2009. But his family is fighting in the U.S. They argue that the U.S. government failed to disclose important evidence, namely a 1985 secret FBI report uncovered by the AP. That report indicates the FBI believed that a Nazi ID card purportedly showing that Demjanjuk served as a death camp guard was a Soviet-made fake. The family is attempting to reopen his U.S. citizenship case and hope that even before there is a decision, the court will order that Demjanjuk allowed back into the U.S. That may seem unlikely, but it has already happened once before in the approximately 35year saga of Demjanjukâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s legal battles. In the 1980s, Demjanjuk stood trial in Israel accused of being the no-

Forces to have more control KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — Afghan forces could soon start taking charge of security in a wide swath of northern and western Afghanistan, but only a few spots in the more violent south and east — the second step in a transition that President Hamid Karzai hopes will leave his forces in control of the entire nation by the end of 2014. A successful handover is key to NATO’s plan to withdraw most of its combat forces from Afghanistan after more than a decade of fighting there. Western officials and experts have expressed pessimism about the ability of Karzai and his armed forces to assume command of their country. If they fail, the militant Taliban could stage a comeback.

$ The rich get richer $ WASHINGTON (AP) — The richest 1 percent of Americans have been getting far richer over the last three decades while the middle class and poor have seen their aftertax household income only crawl up in comparison, according to a government study. After-tax income for the top 1 percent of U.S. households almost tripled, up 275 percent, from 1979 to 2007, the Congressional Budget Office found. For people in the middle of the economic scale, after-tax income grew by just 40 percent. Those at the bottom experienced an 18 percent increase. The report, based on IRS and Census Bureau data, comes as the Occupy Wall Street movement protests corporate bailouts and the gap

between the haves and havenots. Demonstrators call themselves “the 99 percent.” “The distribution of aftertax income in the United States was substantially more unequal in 2007 than in 1979,” CBO Director Doug Elmendorf said in a blog post. “The share of income accruing to higher-income households increased, whereas the share accruing to other households declined.” The top 1 percent made $165,000 or more in 1979; that jumped to $347,000 in 2007, the study said. The income for the top fifth started at $51,289 in 1979 and rose to $70,578 in 2007. On the other end of the spectrum, those in the 20th percentile went from $12,823 in 1979 to $14,851 in 2007. The report also found:

• The top 20 percent of the population earned 53 percent of after-tax income in 2007, as opposed to 43 percent in 1979. • The top 1 percent reaped a 17 percent share of all income, up from 8 percent in 1979. • The bottom 20 percent reaped just 5 percent of aftertax income, versus 7 percent in 1979. Lawmakers and presidential candidates are mulling overhauling the tax code — some propose a flat tax that critics say could magnify the income gap — and a congressional “supercommittee” is weighing options to cut the deficit. President Barack Obama has toured the country promising to raise taxes on the wealthy in order to finance his

Hormones linked to weight gain NEW YORK (AP) — Any dieter knows that it’s hard to keep off weight you’ve lost. Now a study finds that even a year after dieters shed a good chunk of weight quickly, their hormones were still insisting, “Eat! Eat! Eat!” The findings suggest that dieters who have regained weight are not just slipping back into old habits, but are struggling against a persistent biological urge. “People who regain weight should not be harsh on themselves, as eating is our most basic instinct,” Joseph Proietto of the University of Melbourne in Australia, an author of the study, said in an email. The research appears in Thursday’s issue of the New England Journal of Medicine.

Car goes 1M miles SACO, Maine (AP) — A Maine man and his car are celebrating a million-mile milestone. Joe LoCicero was given a 2012 Honda Accord at a parade in the city of Saco on Sunday after surpassing the million-mile mark on the odometer of his 1990 Accord. He reached the milestone last Thursday. A Honda spokeswoman tells The Portland Press Herald it’s the first time the manufacturer has documented an Accord reaching one million miles. LoCicero says he bought the car in 1996 with 74,000 miles. The former mechanic did much of his own work. The secret he says is following maintenance schedules, using quality parts and driving safely.

That was the ruling of a coroner’s inquest into the death of the Grammywinning soul singer, who died with empty vodka bottles in her room and lethal amounts of alcohol in her blood — more than five times the British drunk driving limit. Coroner Suzanne Greenaway gave a verdict of “death by misadventure,” saying Wednesday the singer suffered accidental alcohol poisoning when she resumed drinking after weeks of abstinence.

OCCUPY WALL Street protesters run from tear gas deployed by police at 14th Street and Broadway in Oakland, Calif., Tuesday.

Iraq war vet injured during Oakland protests BY TERRY COLLINS Associated Press OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — A clash between Oakland police and Occupy Wall Street protesters left an Iraq War veteran in critical condition Wednesday after a projectile struck him in a conflict that came as tensions intensified over demonstrators’ encampments across the San Francisco Bay Area. Scott Olsen, 24, suffered a fractured skull Tuesday in a march with other protesters toward City Hall, said Dottie Guy, of the Iraq Veterans Against the War. The demonstrators had been making an attempt to re-establish a presence in the area of a disbanded protesters’ camp when

they were met by officers in riot gear. Several small skirmishes broke out and officers cleared the area by firing tear gas after police say protesters threw rocks and bottles at them. It’s not known exactly what type of object struck Olsen in the chaos, though Guy’s group alleges it was a police projectile. Multiple attempts to reach Oakland police by The Associated Press were unsuccessful ahead of a late afternoon news conference. Guy said also it wasn’t immediately clear whether Olsen, a network administrator in Daly City, would need surgery. “It’s still too early to tell,” Guy said. “We’re hoping for the best.”

Curt Olsen, a spokesman for Highland Hospital in Oakland, confirmed that the veteran was in critical condition but could not release any more information. The clash Tuesday evening came as officials complained about what they described as deteriorating safety, sanitation and health issues at the dismantled camp. The same concerns were being raised by San Francisco officials who warned protesters Wednesday that they could face arrest if they continue camping in a city plaza. In a letter, Police Chief Greg Suhr said the protesters could be arrested for violating a variety of city laws against camping, cooking, urinating and littering in public parks.

Man loses wife, mother, 4 children in earthquake ERCIS, Turkey (AP) — Murat Sonmez’s mother, wife and four daughters were crushed to death in their home by Turkey’s 7.2-magnitude earthquake, leaving him so distraught he found it difficult to speak. While media coverage has centered on tales of againstthe-odds rescues including a 2-week-old baby girl who was pulled alive from the rubble, most stories of the trapped have ended the way that Sonmez knows, with death and unfathomable pain for those left behind. “I was not at home,” Sonmez said, lapsing into silence at times Wednesday. “God gave them, God took them away. I can’t find anything to say. “I can’t describe my pain,” he said as he stood by a leveled four-story apart-

ment building. He listed the dead: 32-yearold wife Meral, four daughters — 2-year-old Nisa Nur, 7year-old Meryem, 12-year-old Asli and 15-year-old Meral — and his 65-year-old mother, Hatice. They lived on the second floor, above some businesses. The third and fourth floors were occupied by Sonmez’s brother and father, who managed to escape. He said he and relatives pulled out their dead and buried them, just a few of the victims of the quake that struck eastern Turkey on Sunday, killing at least 461 people. Elsewhere in Ercis, the town hit hardest by the quake, two teachers and a university student were rescued from ruined buildings on Wednesday, but searchers said hopes of finding anyone

else alive were rapidly fading. NTV television said 25year-old teacher Seniye Erdem was pulled out around the same time that rescue workers also freed another teacher. The woman was thirsty and asked about her husband, who had died, it said. Excavators with heavy equipment began clearing debris from some collapsed buildings in Ercis after searchers removed bodies and determined there were no other survivors. More than 1,350 people were injured. Gozde Bahar, a 27-year-old English teacher, was pulled out of a ruined building on Wednesday with injuries as her tearful mother watched anxiously. The Anatolia news agency said her heart stopped at a field hospital but doctors managed to revive her.

DENVER (AP) — President Barack Obama recalled his struggles with student loan debt as he unveiled a plan Wednesday that could give millions of young people some relief on their payments. Speaking at the University of Colorado Denver, Obama said that he and his wife, Michelle, together owed more than $120,000 in law school debt that took nearly a decade to pay off. He said that sometimes he’d have to make monthly payments to multiple lenders, and the debt meant they were not only paying for their own degrees but saving for their daughters’ college funds simultaneously. “I’ve been in your shoes. We did not come from a wealthy family,” Obama said to cheers. Obama said it’s never been more important to get a college education, but it’s also never been more expensive. Obama said his plan will help not just individuals, but the nation, because graduates will have more money to spend on things like buying homes. “Our economy needs it right now and your future could use a boost right now,” Obama said. Obama’s plan will accelerate a measure passed by Congress that reduces the maximum required payment on student loans from 15 percent of discretionary income annually to 10 percent. He will put it into effect in 2012, instead of 2014. In addition, the White House says the remaining debt would be forgiven after 20 years, instead of 25. About 1.6 million borrowers could be affected. He will also allow borrowers who have a loan from the Federal Family Education Loan Program and a direct loan from the government to consolidate them into one. The consolidated loan would carry an interest rate of up to a half percentage point less than before. This could affect 5.8 million borrowers. Student loans are the No. 2 source of household debt. The president’s announcement came on the same day as a new report on tuition costs from the College Board. It showed that average in-state tuition and fees at four-year public colleges rose $631 this fall, or 8.3 percent, compared with a year ago. Nationally, the cost of a full credit load has passed $8,000, an all-time high. Student loan debt is a common concern voiced by Occupy Wall Street protesters. Obama’s plan could help him shore up re-election support among young voters, an important voting bloc in his 2008 election. But, it might not ease all their fears. Anna Van Pelt, 24, a graduate student in public health at the University of Colorado Denver who attended the speech, estimates she’ll graduate with $40,000 in loans. She called Obama’s plan a “really big deal” for her, but said she still worries about how she’ll make the payments.

Applefest a success At its final meeting of the year, Applefest Board Chairwoman Maureen Woodson thanked the directors, sponsors, and volunteers for their support of the 2011 festival that she deemed a very successful event. At this meeting the directors and committee chairs in attendance reviewed the elements of the festival that went well and discussed a few items that can be improved upon at future festivals. The group also reviewed the 2011 Applefest financial statements that indicated the festival performed well against budget and has sufficient reserves to begin planning next year’s event. It was observed that

although insufficient funds exist to carry the entire expense of the 2012 Applefest, the board is confident that the funding necessary to execute next year’s festival can be raised. In her remarks during the meeting, Woodson introduced Amy Jeffries as the 2012 Applefest Board Chairwoman. Jeffries chaired the Applefest in 2009 and 2010. In her remarks, Jeffries noted that she looks forward to again serving as board chairwoman and will begin scheduling planning meetings in early 2012. Anyone interested in getting involved with next year’s festival is encouraged to contact Jeff Raible at 492-9122 or jraible@sidneyshelbychamber.com.

USO event shows Sidney, county at their best October is Make A Difference Month, and an event held Saturday evening at Sidney American Legion Post 217 is bound to make a real difference in the lives of some 300 local service members stationed overseas, as well as local veterans at the Veterans Administration Hospital in Dayton. “The USO Show” was a phenomenal event that packed the hall to overflowing, with others unable to gain entrance due to a lack of parking space outside and standing room only inside. Admission to the variety show was personal care items or cash donations, all intended for holiday care packages for service members and veterans. The modest donations were little to pay for an evening of high entertainment that will ultimately translate to a more meaningful holiday for those serving our nation and those who paid their dues long ago. Themes of patriotism and nostalgia predominated throughout the three-hour show, featuring entertainers as old as Singing Soldier Frank Duzick, 90, and as young as kindergarten children with the Fairlawn Elementary School chorus. The crowd, too, spanned the generations, ranging from great-grandparents to young couples with children in tow. The event was a joint effort by a number of agencies and represented the very best of Sidney and Shelby County. With the hectic pace of life in today’s society, and with the dreary state of the economy, it would be easy to circle the wagons and care only about one’s own little world. But the organizers of this event, as well as the participants and spectators, chose to look beyond and remember those who are paying, or

have paid, the heavy price necessary to ensure the liberty and way of life we too often take for granted. We salute those responsible for this entertaining and meaningful event. The evening kicked off with the smooth sounds of the One More Time Swing Band, featuring music from the 1940s. The songs surely brought back memories for many of the senior citizens in the crowd. Several members with Shelby County ties were among the musicians, and the band featured a vocalist with the Air Force at Wright-Patterson AFB. Children were featured prominently throughout the evening. Youths from the Let’s Dance, Let’s Twirl baton school; the Fairlawn Elementary School Chorus; and the Sidney Dance Company all performed to an appreciative audience. Other acts included sisters Jane and Sue Kaufman singing an inspirational duet, Jane Stewart performing on the dulcimer, and the vocal trio Simple Harmony. The evening concluded with a performance by the American Legion’s Singing Soldiers, revived for the evening after being disbanded for six years, accompanied by the Men’s Choir of the First United Methodist Church. The booming renditions by the allmale chorus, with special tribute to veterans in the crowd, were inspiring. Those unable to attend the USO Show can still help support the overall program, called “Christmas For Our Troops.” Donations are being collected at a variety of locations throughout the county. A list of needed items can be found online at www.shelbycountyhistory.org. Anyone with questions should call 498-2787.

TO THE EDITOR

Keep Judge Goettemoeller To the editor: I have recently retired from Sidney Municipal Court after serving 21 years as deputy clerk. Just like Judge Goettemoeller, I grew up on a family farm here in Shelby County. The values I learned on that farm are with me always. I’ve known Judge Goettemoeller through Sacred Heart Church in McCartyville and Sidney Municipal Court for

more than 30 years. His honesty and integrity are unsurpassed. Judge Goettemoeller is very devoted to his faith and his family, and these are important qualities that are slipping away from us in today’s society. I am urging you to vote to keep Judge Goettemoeller as Sidney Municipal Court judge. Virginia Egbert 9122 Lock-Two Road Botkins

has cost the United States more than 2.8 million jobs since 2001, including more than 1.9 million manufacturing jobs. Ohio, alone, has lost more than 100,000 of those manufacturing jobs due to the U.S. China trade deficit. A manufacturing plant manager in northeast Ohio wrote to me about the affect of China’s inflated currency on his business. “When is the U.S. government going to stop this continued [bias] toward Chinese manufacturing instead of U.S. manufacturers?” America doesn’t need to cheat; our domestic manufacturers just need a chance to compete. We’ve seen how Ohio jobs have been created when fair trade rules are enforced. For example, after the International Trade Commission (ITC) ruled in 2010 on behalf of Ohio seamless steel tube producers, Vallourec announced it would build a new facility in Youngstown- creating 700 jobs and more than 400 good-paying permanent jobs. In September 2010, I submitted testimony to the ITC on behalf of coated paper manufacturers in Ohio — including SMART Papers in Hamilton — that have been hit hard by illegally subsidized imports. The ITC voted

unanimously to apply duties on Chinese coated paper imports and some Ohio jobs were saved. Currency manipulation is a form of subsidy, and everyone knows it. That is why this new legislation is critically important to putting people back to work. It will call currency manipulation by its true name: illegal subsidy. This bill would help level the playing field for our businesses and manufacturers — and that’s one of the reasons why there is large bipartisan support for it. The best way to move America’s economy forward is to make sure that every American who wants to work has a job. And that’s why the federal government has a responsibility to ensure that domestic manufacturers and small businesses can compete with the rest of the world. This bill is not antiChina; but it is proAmerica. To promote Ohio-made goods and protect Ohio jobs, we need a common-sense trade policy that rejects currency manipulation and puts Ohio workers first. Workers and manufacturers have endured years of talking and no action. Now that the Senate has stood up for Ohio manufacturers and workers, it’s time for the House to do the same.

TO THE EDITOR

Support mental WODC endorses tax health renewal levy To the editor: A Mental Health and Recovery Renewal Levy will appear on the ballot in Dark, Miami and Shelby counties on Nov. 8. This is a five-year 0.6 (6/10) mill levy that will expire Dec. 31, 2011. The passage of this levy is critical in assuring the availability of vital services for our community. One in five tri-county residents are affected by mental illness or addiction each year. Now more than ever individuals are seeking help and encouraging loved ones to seek help when problems arise. Last year alone, the levy supported services that helped nearly 10,000 tri-county residents. Those services supported by the Mental Health and Recovery levy include counseling

and supportive services to children, families and adults, 24-hour crisis hotline, suicide prevention and education, and specialized programs such as the Tri-County CIT program for local law enforcement. In essence, these efforts help people have a more meaningful life and make our community a better place to live. Our community is fortunate to have such vital services locally available to assure that help is there when we need it. Please join me in supporting this important local issue. Vote “yes” on the Mental Health and Recovery Services renewal levy on Nov. 8. Robert Menz Board member Tri-County Board of Recovery and Mental Health Services

Backing Beigel for Municipal Court judge To the editor: This letter comes in support of Jeff Beigel for the position of Municipal Court judge. I have known Jeff and his family for many years. His reputation as an attorney and a great person is well deserved and obvious from the wide range of folks who have come to rely on him. He has been a strong supporter of our community in so many ways. For example, Jeff is an active member of Sidney Rotary and a past president. My wife, Donnajean, and I have also watched Lorie and Jeff work

hard as parents. They have done a great job of raising children who tackle life’s challenges with enthusiasm. Lorie and Jeff should be very proud. I have had the opportunity to work with many wonderful people over the past 31 years and I can’t think of a better person to serve as Municipal Court judge. I plan to vote for Jeff Beigel on Nov. 8 and encourage all my friends and professional colleagues to do so as well. Dennis Ruble 1909 Burkewood Drive

To the editor: The trustees of the West Ohio Development Council endorse the city of Sidney’s income tax levy for street maintenance and repair which will appear on the November ballot. Wellmaintained streets are critical to support local manufacturing and residential development in Sidney and Shelby County. In addition, excellent streets present an appealing influence to those visiting the community. All communities have only one opportunity to make a favorable first impression to visitors. This can be a determining factor in their decision to make Sidney their home or to locate a business here. The current recession has had a deep and significant impact on the city’s ability to provide services and maintain its infrastructure. Deep budgetary and manpower cuts have been made since 2008, leaving 52 staff positions unfilled. The five-year 0.25-percent increase will temporarily place the city’s tax rate at 1.75 percent. This is the same income tax rate as many surrounding communities. At the end of five years, Sidney’s income tax rate will return to 1.5 percent. The new tax revenue can be used only for the “construction and re-construction of streets, alleys, bridges, curbs and gutters” in the city

of Sidney. Currently, the city must maintain 103 miles of streets in Sidney. With asphalt costs doubling over the last eight years and dramatic decreases in revenue, it is impossible for the city of Sidney to keep up with needed street resurfacing. Currently the city’s capital budget provides for the resurfacing of only 2 to 2.5 miles of streets each year. This means it would take 40 to 50 years to resurface the city’s streets. Ideally, at least 5 to 7 miles of streets should be resurfaced each year in order to keep streets in good condition. The proposed 0.25 percent temporary tax will make a significant and noticeable improvement in the community by funding the resurfacing of at least 40 miles of streets over the next five years. Items not taxed by the city income tax include Social Security benefits and other qualified retirement plan benefits, unemployment insurance benefits, military pay, interest and dividends. The income tax is paid not only by city residents but also nonresidents coming into Sidney to work each day. Nonresidents pay nearly 50 percent of the Sidney municipal income tax W.

Election letter deadline set The deadline for receipt of election-related letters to the editor is Friday. Letters received after that date will not be published.

To the editor: When Nancy Pelosi told Congress that they had to pass the health care bill to find out what was in it, she received the support of her party to do so. We are now finding what is in the bill — an array of new powers granted to Health and Human Services (HHS). There are 1,968 new and expanded secretarial powers under the law. (See www.healthtransformation.net for the chart.) One of those secretarial powers recently resulted in a mandate that all insurance plans must provide coverage which includes certain types of abortion-causing drugs, regardless of whether the individuals or groups being insured desire such coverage or have medical or moral objections. In addition to forcing everyone to buy insurance, the federal government is now deciding what will be in the plan. Such health care control is not health care reform! The only way to defuse this regulatory time bomb is to repeal it. In the meantime, the

Mental health levy supports critical services To the editor: On Nov. 8 the citizens of Darke, Miami and Shelby counties will be asked to renew the mental health and recovery services levy. The renewal of this levy will not increase your taxes. This levy was first approved by voters of the three counties in 1973 and continues to be a critical part of assuring that vital mental health and recovery services are available locally. The 0.6 (6/10) mill levy renewal levy will cost the owner of a $100,000 home about $15 per year. The mental health and recovery services levy supports counsel-

ing, case management, hospital beds, medications, housing, crisis services, SafeHaven, and other critical services to children, families and adults throughout the three county region. Last year, over 10,000 tricounty citizens received services through the local Mental Health and Recovery provider system. Please join with us in supporting this important local issue. Please vote “yes” on the mental health and recovery services renewal levy on Nov. 8. Mark McDaniel Executive Director Tri-County Board of Recovery and Mental Health Services

people of Ohio have gathered enough signatures to put Issue 3 on the ballot in Ohio. The Ohio Health Care Freedom Amendment will protect our freedom to make individual healthcare and health insurance decisions. This is an important first step in the effort to stop the federal government from imposing its individual health care mandate upon us . See www.OhioansForHealthCareFreedom.com. for more information. The Ohio Right to Life Society recently endorsed the Health Care Freedom Amendment. Issue 3 is a way to protect ourselves from an abortion-advocating administration. The Health Care Freedom Amendment is a grassroots initiative which made it to the ballot because individual citizens were willing to put their priniciples into practice. This is the way government is supposed to work! Voting yes on Issue 3 is the way to health care freedom. Mary C. Schmiesing 9700 SidneyFreyburg Road

else know the condition of the building and what is best to meet the long term educational goals of the community. In my current position, I have had an opportunity to tour some of the projects which have been constructed with the assistance of the Ohio School Facilities Commission. While conversing with personnel in those districts, they have been very impressed with the knowledge and expertise offered by this organization. We have a unique opportunity to build a new educational complex with the local community providing a fraction of the needed construction dollars. I think we would all agree that a building project of this magnitude would be an impossibility without the School Facilities Commission funds which have been made available.

aware that the trailer park was already for sale by the current owner. This entrance will allow for a safe flow of traffic to and from the school. If the school doesn’t purchase it, someone or some business will. If the school purchases it, the residents will have over a year to secure new arrangements. Another buyer will probably offer a shorter amount of time. Therefore, since the land is for sale, it is probably inevitable that the families in that area would need to find a new home anyway. Let’s use our money to build a new, more efficient school that will outlast and be more ready to handle the demands of today’s technology rather than repair an older school for essentially the same amount of money. We support Botkins Local School and the upcoming levy for a new Botkins School and hope you will too!

‘Yes’ on Issues 2 and 3

To the editor: Webster defines the word “forced” as “done or brought about by force, not voluntary; compulsory.” For the first time in our nation’s history, the federal government is “forcing” individuals to purchase health insurance. State Issue 3, the Ohio Health Care Freedom Amendment, is the important first step in stopping the federal government’s healthcare mandate and preventing Ohio’s state government from enacting a state-level individual mandate that requires you to purchase any level of coverage. A Republic government does not force its citizens to purchase anything. That’s tyranny. Protect your right to choose. Protect your doctor-patient relationship. Protect your right to make your own health care decisions. Protect your freedom. Vote “yes” on Issue 3. State Issue 2, Senate Bill 5, is important to a state that was $8 billion in debt.

We hope we haven’t forgotten to list you. This event will generate a great donation to Agape Distribution and Shelby County Humane

To the editor: We have always been proud to be a part of the Botkins community and realize the quality education it offers after sending our own four children to Botkins Local Schools. When we first learned the state had offered us an opportunity to build a new school, we were excited, but when we realized the state would pay 75 percent leaving only the 25 percent to local funds, we felt that this was an opportunity we would be foolish to pass up. We realize this is still a good sum of money; however, that sum will be spent either on our share for a new building or on much needed repairs to an old building. In the end, we would rather have a new building with less maintenance needs for about the same amount of money. In addition, this is an opportunity for the community to grow. The school may help draw more people into our community and the new site may spur residential growth. We do realize that some families will be affected because of the entrance to the school off of State Street. This is unfortunate, but we are

state budget is balanced at current or reduced tax rates. Standard & Poore’s upgraded Ohio’s credit rating recently with an AA+ rating and outlook improved from negative to stable. We can continue to build a better Ohio by supporting Issue 2 and asking government employees to pay only 5 percent more for the cost of their health insurance to 15 percent. That is still less than half what private sector workers are currently paying. To reward job performance with merit increases instead of giving raises based solely on seniority. We need government employees to make a small 10 percent contribution to their publicly funded retirement. Taxpayers pay for this, and most private sector employees get no company provided retirement benefit at all. Ohio needs the flexibility to manage costs for sustainability in this challenging and difficult economy. But most of all, we need to return control of our schools and services to the taxpayers who fund those services. That’s up to you. Vote “yes” on Issue 2 and Issue 3 on Nov. 8. H. R.

VALUES York said the overall result of the process is that the average residential property in the county will be reduced in value by approximately 6 percent. He went on to explain, however, that individual valuations will vary and that not every taxpayer will see a reduction. Some will remain the same and a limited number of properties will actually show an increase. A valuation increase on a particular property would typically reflect the fact that improvements have been made since the last complete revaluation in 2005 or that omitted property was discovered in the photography or field visits. In a few instances, special circumstances due to location in very neighborhoods select contributed to increased valuation. Of particular note this year is that the new statewide CAUV formula is producing a significant increase in farmland values. In 2008, the weighted average value assigned to Shelby County farmland was $511 per acre. In 2011, that weighted average value will rise to $1,227 per acre. York commented that, although the adjustment reflects a 140 percent increase, the valuation under CAUV still represents less than 25 percent of true market price typically paid for farmland in Shelby County. York said a special letter is being mailed to all CAUV landowners and a meeting for owners and renters of farmland will be held Nov. 15 at 7 p.m. at the American Legion

From Page 1 Hall in Sidney. The public is invited. The auditor went on to state that commercial and industrial valuations will remain largely unchanged in this revaluation cycle. Property owners may determine the tentative value assigned to their properties by visiting the auditor’s website at www.shelbycountyauditors.com and clicking on the “Tentative 2011 Real Estate Values” button. This will open a page that will allow a user to locate properties either by last name or by individual parcel number. When a parcel is identified, the new tentative valuation for that parcel will be displayed. York said this information is what a taxpayer should focus on. Past history of the property is not necessarily relevant to the current situation. The critical question should be, “Is this tentative valuation a fair representation of the value of my property today?” If, however, more information about the property or taxation history is desired, it can be accessed by a link from this web page. York said the week of Oct. 31 has been designated as a special time for property owners who wish to question a valuation or the process used to determine it. Representatives from the appraisal company will be on hand during that week to answer questions and consider appropriate revisions. To avoid long wait times, taxpayers should call the Auditor’s Office at 498-7202 during regular business hours to make an appointment with appraisers.

County unemployment decreases in September BY JENNIFER BUMGARNER jbumgarner@sdnccg.com The unemployment rate in Shelby County decreased in September, according to the latest statistics from the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services (ODJFS) released Tuesday. The number of individuals unemployed in the county dropped to 8.7 percent in September. It sat at 9.1 percent in August. In September of last year, the unemployment rate was 10.5 percent. Michael Dodds, executive director of West Ohio Development Council, is excited about the lower unemployment numbers. “We’re happy to see it in the eights finally,” said Dodds. “That is indicative of what we’re hearing from our employers in the county.” According to Dodds, machinists and welders are at the top of the list as well as manufacturing which he says is a “mainstay in Shelby County.” The West Ohio Development Council visits local industries and have found that many are in the hiring stage. “The jobs are out there,” said Dodds. “I think the Job Center is a good place to start. The need is out there are we’re hoping the

trend continues.” Helen Scott with Shelby County Department of Job and Family Services attributes the decline to an increase of job postings at the Job Center. “We are also seeing a lot of manufacturing jobs, truck driving positions and health care positions,” said Scott. “We’ve had quite a few employers call in to post jobs.” The number of workers unemployed in Shelby County in September was 2,100. Approximately 22,500 of the 24,700 individuals comprising the county’s labor force were employed last month.

Ohio’s unemployment rate was 9.1 percent in September, unchanged from August. Ohio’s nonfarm wage and salary employment decreased 21,600 over the month, from the revised 5,118,700 in August to 5,097,100 in September. The number of workers unemployed in Ohio in September was 534,000, down from 536,000 in August. Among the state’s 88 counties, the September unemployment rates ranged from a low of 5.6 percent in Mercer County to a high of 15.1 percent in Pike County. Rates decreased in 73 of the 88 counties. September jobless rate statistics for surrounding counties compared to the previous month’s statistics is as follows: Allen County dropped from 9.5 percent to 9.2 percent; Auglaize County decreased from 7.4 percent to 7.2 percent; Champaign dropped from 9.4 percent to 8.8 percent; Darke County decreased from 8.5 percent to 8.2 percent; Logan County decreased from 9.4 percent to 9.1 percent; Mercer County decreased from 5.8 percent to 5.6 percent; and Miami dropped from 8.6 percent to 8.0 percent.

RIVERSIDE STUDENTS stand with their newly builty garden pond.

Students build pond DEGRAFF — The students in the horticulture and landscape design class of the Riverside High School Agriculture Education Program recently created a garden pond in their greenhouse. The horticulture class learned about garden ponds structures, how to maintain ponds, identify parts, determine water quality and plant life. Next, students had to conduct their own research on a garden pond that they would like to

engineer while staying under a specific budget. In their research they needed to calculate and determine the size and shape of the pond, the pump sizes, any plant and aquatic life that might be included, types of filters to use, and lastly, calculate a budget. Then the students presented their research reports to the class. From these presentations, students evaluated and determined which design they would use.

ful that he took your advice. When you use “if ” you can create any scenario you wish. For instance, “if ” I knew the winning numbers in advance, I could win the lottery every time. Please consider the following: — Seatbelts can never prevent a crash. — There is no connection between a seatbelt and safe driving. — Mandatory seatbelt use violates my right to choose and makes me a criminal, though I have hurt no one. — Practice makes perfect. It is what helps safe drivers avoid crashes. I hope you will reconsider your answer to Nameless. Thanks again for your good advice. Keep up the good work. — Allen, Bogue Chitto, Miss.” ALLEN: Your articulate, well-thought-out letter does a good job representing this point of view, and I concede that you bring up some important points. I cer-

tainly am an advocate of all the safe-driving principles you espouse and agree that seatbelt use is no substitute for safe driving. Your letter notwithstanding, I will still use a seatbelt when I drive and make sure everyone in my family does, too. Like you, I have not had an accident for 40-plus years and don’t plan to have one. That’s hardly the issue. It’s the other driver that I’m concerned about! Your choice to wear a seatbelt or not is your concern, but I hope you promote seatbelt use as a driving instructor.

Saving Babies

Issue #6: October 27, 2011

The Last Stroke BY; MEGHAN BENNETT Like all good things, Lehman’s golf season has come to an end, but not without an amazing ride. The team got the thrill of qualifying for state competition held at The Ohio State University Scarlet golf course. The competition consisted of two days of golfing action and was held on October 13 and 14. At the end of the first day of competition, Ben Thieman led the team with a score of 84, while John Copella followed Golf team members at State: Mitchell Shroyer, Tyler with a score of 86 and Tyler Bergman Bergman, Coach Schlater, Ben Thieman, Sam Dean, John with a score of 87. Sam Dean and Copella Mitchell Shroyer trailed with scores of 96 and 115. At this point, the state title was still up for grabs. The next day’s competition came and went, leaving Lehman finishing 7th in the state. Thieman again led Lehman’s team with a score of 84, followed by Bergman with a score of 88. Copella finished with a score of 92, while Dean and Shroyer finished with scores of 94 and 116. As individuals, Thieman tied for 13th place, Bergman tied for 24th place, and Copella tied for 35th place. Copella comments, “I thought it was a great experience and even though the team didn’t do as well as we may have hoped, 7th place is a respectable finish.” Longtime Coach Elmer Schlater announced at the state match that he is retiring after leading the Cavaliers to over 1100 wins, 11 straight sectional titles, and 5 trips to the state tournament. He will be missed. Lehman Catholic High School congratulates the golf team for all its accomplishments and is looking forward to another successful season next year.

INTERACTing locally and worldwide

BY; AMY WATERCUTTER “Interact club is a service organization that is open to all students at Lehman,” said Mrs. Liz Maxson, advisor for the club. Interact is a club in which students do service projects and get involved with the community. Each member is required to participate in one local project and one national project. This is the bare minimum, and the club has gone way beyond this requirement in the past years. President of this year’s Interact club is junior Michael Jacob. He said, “I originally joined the club looking for a way to get involved in Lehman, but I really enjoy it and it’s a great opportunity to truly help others.” Along with this project, Interact does many different things for the community and for the world. Last year the club collected school supplies to send to a school in Africa. A possible new project this year is to raise money to actually support a child in Africa for one year. Interact usually meets once a month and fees include $5.00 and a box of tissues for new members, and $3.00 and a box of tissues for returning members. Interact is a great way to volunteer for the community and give of your time and talents. A great aspect about the club is that it does many different projects so every student can become involved with something that interests them. If you would like to do service projects, and enjoy helping others, then you should get involved with the Interact club here at Lehman.

SHS Girls Volleyball BY TROY ROSENGARTEN

The Sidney girls volleyball team finished their season on the 15th of October. They finished with 6 wins in a row, before getting beat by Butler in the postseason. The girls had a great season this year, finishing with a record of 9 - 14. Which is a great improvement from last season’s, 4 - 19. Two of there prevous records were also broken this year. Junior co-caption, and now three year varisty player, Kristin Beigel, broke the career assists record, which was prevoiusly held by Molly Johnson, who had 550 assists in her career as part of the Sidney High girls volleyball team. Kristin also meantioned, "It still seems unreal that I have broke the record and to know that I will have a whole year to add more is more than exciting. I couldn't have done it without the support of my team and coach though." Allison Neu the other junior co-caption broke a record in only her second year at Sidney High School. She broke the career record for most digs. Elyse Roddy previously owned the record with 288 digs. Allison came to Sidney from Lehman right before school started last year and she started varsity her first year at SHS. The Volleyball team, coached by Ashleigh Ratermann, will be losing four seniors this year who had a big part in their six game winning streak this year, and they will be greatly missed. Kristin Beigel was also named second team all GWOC North, and Allison Neu was named GWOC North Special Mention.

Mrs. Rupp joins SHS staff as CBI Instructor BY JACOB LONGMIRE

Where were you (teaching / school) before Sidney? Life Skills Center of DaytonDayton Charter School. Why did you enter the field of education? And, how old are were you? For the opportunity to make a difference; 18 years old How long you been teaching or in the education field? 10 years How is Sidney different from other places you have taught or worked? It's so different that it's hard to explain. There is very much a sense of community that I did not see at my previous schools. What are you looking forward to this year ? To getting to know the students, staff, and the community of Sidney. What do you want the students to know about you? I'm a teacher because I care about my students, their goals and aspirations and future success in life.

BY: COLLEEN KINNINGER Twice a year, the Pro-Lifeguards make a trip to the abortion clinic in Kettering to pray for increased respect and protection of life. On October 4, the group made the first of these prayer vigils. Besides praying, the group also gets an education in what really goes on behind the doors at the center. Known to all that go on this trip as Vivian, this longtime sidewalk counselor talks to the mothers who go in to have an abortion. She has been there every day for over 20 years. She can answer any question you might have about what an abortion means, and alternatives a person should consider. The group peacefully protests by holding up signs in support of life along the road. Senior David Freytag said, “My favorite part of the trip is when we hold signs up along the street because you never know if people are gonna honk for you, make a rude gesture, or have a priest bless you.” When asked why she wanted to go on the trip, senior Emily Pax said, “I like going because it’s really moving. Being that close and praying for the babies changes you.” Sophomore Meghan Safreed added, “It was a great experience. I think it really opened our eyes to the tragedies and injustices of abortion. I’m glad I went on the trip and shared the experience with my friends.” If you have never gone on the trip to Kettering and would like to go, keep listening for when the group goes next. It is truly an eyeopening experience and will change your life.

The Boys of Fall BY: JULIA HARRELSON “I expect them to finish what they started, work hard, and continue to improve,” said Lehman Head Football Coach Dick Roll. His statement perfectly describes the season this year’s football team has had. Senior Captains Joe Football seniors: William Duritsch, Dan Vondenhuevel, Ben Deafenbaugh, Joe Vandenhuevel, Ben Weber, William Duritsch, Weber, Kane Pickrel Dan Deafenbaugh, and Kane Pickrel have had to lead a young team, with ten freshmen on the 35-player line up. Injuries to many players have made this group even smaller, but that doesn’t mean they have stopped trying or putting forth all of their effort. Vondenhuevel, getting ready this weekend to play his final regular season game said, “It’s been fun. It’s brought me closer to a lot of guys, and I’ve made friends with guys I thought I wouldn’t have.” Make sure you come out and watch our team close the regular season by playing at Fort Loramie. Go Cavs!

About seven acres of land would be at the disposal of the county. The Lockington resolution, signed by Mayor Max W.

REPLAY 50 years ago October 27, 1961 If there was a masquerade in Sidney high’s football ranks today for Halloween, it was wreathed in smiles over the recovery of the Jackets’ collective stinger. This was used with surprising authority against Miamisburg to lift Dave Haines’ youngsters from the depths with a convincing 38-8 triumph over the Vikings.

25 years ago October 27, 1986 The Sidney High reserve football team won for the third straight time, beating Tecumseh Saturday 20-0. Jim Coverstone rushed for 183 yards and scored all three touchdowns, two on 60-yard runs and the other from four yards away. Darren Clark had a two-point conversion and also recovered a fumble.

Jackets end at home with Troy BY KEN BARHORST kbarhorst@sdnccg.com The long and trying season for the Sidney Yellow Jackets comes to an end Friday night at Sidney Memorial Stadium when they host the playoff-bound Troy Trojans at 7:30. Sidney has just one more opportunity to end a 19-game losing streak and avoid backto-back 0-10 seasons, but they will be big underdogs against the Trojans, who come in with a 7-2 record. Troy’s only losses this season have come to 8-2 Middletown and 9-0 Trotwood. The Trojans took Middletown down to the wire, but were dominated by a Trotwood team that beat Sidney 48-6

last week. “I thought we did well against Trotwood defensively,” said Sidney head coach Adam Doenges. “If you make them work, you might be able to get them to make a mistake. And we made them work for it.” Doenges was pleased with the way his squad came out to the final weeks of practice. “At this point, it’s easy for the kids to just kind of hang it up, but we didn’t see that,” he said. “We wanted to end the year practicing hard and playing hard, and then just move on. I made a point of stressing to the kids that we had to use this time to get better. We want them to go out feeling good about themselves, do the little things right at the end of the year

and pick it up from there.” Doenges said when Friday’s game ends, he’ll focus on his “get to” list and continue to work to resurrect the program. “We have a lot of things to look at, obviously,” he said. “What did work, what didn’t work, how we can make it better, what can we add... I’m trying to make contact with coaches up and down I-75 and talk to them about what we can do.

Botkins grad Rogers leads unbeaten Leipsic BY KEN BARHORST kbarhorst@sdnccg.com LEIPSIC — School officials at Leipsic High School in Putnam County are probably wondering — are there any other coaches out there who have never heard of us?” County volleyball Rogers fans who follow the state rankings may have noticed that Leipsic finished the regular season undefeated and ranked third in Ohio in Division IV. What they may not know is that the Lady Vikings are coached by Botkins High School graduate Chelsea Rogers. “Definitely, I always knew I was going to coach,” Rogers said recently, “But I never thought in a million years I’d be in Leipsic. I’d never heard of it before.” Leipsic is glad she discovered it. She is in her second season as the head volleyball coach, and her career record so far, including 23-0 this season, is 40-8. Last year, her first team finished 17-8, which was a big turnaround from the previous

to make Sidney football better. Soccer and basketball have done a nice job of establishing good feeder programs and getting good people in there. We have good people in our youth program, but I think over the years there’s been a bit of a disconnect there. We just need to get the kids excited at a younger age about being a Yellow Jacket. “I need to grow as a coach, and we need to reevaluate ourselves as a coaching staff,” he added. Doenges said there will be “quite a few” sophomores seeing action this week against Troy. “Guys who have been starting the past few weeks have gotten pretty banged up,” he said.

season, and somewhat of a surprise since Rogers inherited a team way short on experience. “I think our entire starting lineup except for one was on the JV team the previous year,” Rogers said. “So they took some time getting experience.” But it laid the groundwork for this season, and so far, the Lady Vikings have been unstoppable. Rogers and her team will play for a district championship tonight at Ottawa-Glandorf High School. The daughter of former Botkins boys and girls basketball coach Tony Rogers, who took one of his boys teams to the state tournament, Chelsea excelled in both volleyball and basketball at Botkins, and went on to play in college, despite a frustrating senior year at Botkins that saw her plagued by knee problems. “That was a sad time in my life,” she said. “My senior year was not very enjoyable. But overall, I think it made me tougher.” She was a senior at Ohio Dominican when she first heard of Leipsic. “My college teammate, Shannon Knobler, was a freshman and I was a senior,” she recalled. “She was a firstteam All-Ohioan at Leipsic and ended up winning the league all four years. When I

graduated, I was still trying to figure out what to do. Shannon’s dad is on the school board, and he told me they needed a volleyball coach.” Her program is on solid ground. This year’s team has five seniors and five underclassmen, and though all 10 girls play a lot, two freshmen and three sophomores are starters. Her top hitter is a 6-foot-2 freshman who leads the team in kills and blocks, and she also has a 6-1 sophomore and a 5-11 senior. “It’s been enjoyable,” she said of this season. “I actually felt like I was more stressed out this year than last. Winning almost made it that way. But it’s been great and the seniors really deserve the success we’re having.” Leipsic plays in two leagues, and the Lady Vikings, of course, were champions of both. In addition, Rogers was voted the Coach of the Year in both. “Two leagues...” she said. “I was so confused when I got here.” But it looks like she has it all figured out now. Rogers is a substitute teacher at the school and is working on her masters and hoping to become a full-time member of the teaching staff at the school.

ANNA — In retrospect, a win last week over Versailles probably wouldn’t have meant a playoff spot for the Anna Rockets. And the win over Anna may not be enough to get Versailles into the postseason. And that frustrates at least one person. “Versailles might not get in, and that’s terrible,” said Anna head coach Bryan Rioch. “They might just be the best team in that region right now.” He should know. Of the four losses the Rockets suffered this season, none was more convincing than the 33-0 score the Tigers pinned on them last week. “First thing, you have to give Versailles credit,” said Rioch. “Their kids played hard and they had a good game plan, and I don’t want to take anything away from them. Add to that, we did not play very hard, and had some bad break. Plus, we had five turnovers. We just laid a big fat egg.” The Rockets will close out the season Friday night at home against 3-6 Parkway in Midwest Athletic Conference action, and Rioch is looking forward to it. “We have 26 seniors that we’re going to honor and we want to give them a nice goingaway gift,” he said, referring to a win over the Panthers. “We actually had a real good week of practice, and the kids have been real positive, real upbeat and have made practice fun. We talked about not wanting one loss to turn into two, and not to have a hangover from last week’s loss. We have tough, hard-working kids.” The Rockets take on a Parkway team that is coached by Dan Cairns this season. Cairns was the head coach at Sidney before moving to Parkway, and he is using the spread offense this season. “Dan is doing a nice job,” said Rioch. “Parkway kids are always hard-nosed, tough and physical. And they’re gigantic. They have two linemen who are 320 and 360, and two wideouts who are 6-5 and 6-4. And defensively, if you’ve heard of it, they run it.” Anna’s Cole Furgason needs just 63 yard to reach 1,000 rushing for the season.

Natalie Billing

Natalie Billing of Anna has been unstoppable at the net lately for the Anna Lady Rocket volleyball team, which is on the verge of a regional tournament berth after three straight sectional wins. Billing had 19 kills in the tournament opener over Brookville, 19 kills and 13 digs in an upset of No. 2-seeded Tri-County North, and 15 kills against No. 4-seeded Versailles in the sectional finals.

proving to be tough to beat at Talladega. Drivers with an ECR engine have won four of the last five races at the 2.66-mile tri-oval (Clint Bowyer twice, Kevin Harvick and Jamie McMurray). In those five races, ECR powerplants have notched 12 of the 25 top-5 finishes.

Matt Kenseth is averaging a ninth-place result, while Brad Keselowski is holding strong at 8.3.

And then, there were five. So it seems. Maybe. The one thing that is beyond debate is Clint Bowyer’s continued strength on NASCAR’s plate tracks. Bowyer made a last-lap pass of teammate Jeff Burton in the Good Sam Club 500 at Talladega Superspeedway on Sunday to earn his first win of the 2011. It was Bowyer’s second victory in the last three Talladega events and third straight finish of first or second. It was also his final plate-track start for team owner Richard Childress, as Bowyer will head to Michael Waltrip Racing at season’s end. “It’s just so important to me to be able to cap off such a good relationship with Richard,” Bowyer said. “Everybody at RCR — it’s like family over there. (It) meant a lot for me to be able to win before we end this deal. “The stars were lined up today with having the 100th anniversary of Chevrolet (paint scheme) on the racecar. If I won the race, it was going to be Richard’s 100th win. Too many things meant to be for it not to be. I’m excited that it was.” Childress stood to pick up his organization’s 100th win one way or another. Bowyer and Burton, who combined to lead 51 laps on the afternoon, led the field to green with two laps remaining following a vicious wreck involving Regan Smith, Mark Martin, Marcos Ambrose, Denny Hamlin and Juan Pablo Montoya. The duo’s restart was flawless, and they quickly drafted away from a snarling pack of cars jockeying for position. “Right at the split second I touched his bumper, one of the Red

No one driver wins the Chase at Talladega, but many lose it. Edwards did neither, which is a good thing for him. Expect top-10 runs from here on out. Edwards’ teammate and the 2003 champ, Kenseth, sits just 14 points back in second. Both are good (Texas, Homestead) and weak (Martinsville) at the same tracks. At 26 points out, is Harvick done? Probably not, but his chances are on life support. The car his team is bringing to Martinsville this weekend has two wins in six starts — including at Martinsville in April. Survives big, bad Talladega, notching the best finish (fourth) among all Chase drivers. At 18 points back in the title hunt, you have to like the kid’s chances. Food for thought: The last time Johnson had two straight finishes outside of the top 20 during the Chase, he won the next three races. Has elbowed his way back into title contention with consecutive runs of eighth and seventh. At fourth in the standings and 19 points out, Smoke may be that final driver with a good look at a title. Making up 40 points in the standings with four races remaining is unrealistic, and that’s where Kyle and the boys find themselves. Don’t be surprised if the lifted weight propels Busch to a win or two. Four of his six Chase races have resulted in finishes of eighth or better, including, of course, the big win at ’Dega. It may be the last one he sees for a while since MWR isn’t known as a big-win operation. Gordon’s 27th at Talladega and the events that conspired to contribute to it may have been frustrating, but say this about him: He seemed to be the only Hendrick car that wanted to go to the front and race. Kahne’s average finish in the last six races is 7.1, including four straight runs of sixth or better. It’s a shame everything is coming together for this bunch as the season winds down. Back-to-back solid finishes with his favorite stop — Martinsville — up next. Leads all drivers on the circuit with a 10.2-place average finish on the plate tracks in 2011. Winless thus far in 2011. That’s only happened once to the Biff in eight full-time Cup seasons. It ain’t getting any prettier, but I get hate mail if he’s not at least ranked in the top 15. The final results (24th) don’t back up the great run Logano had at ’Dega with a torn up car. AJ Allmendinger, Jeff Burton, Mark Martin, Ryan Newman, Martin Truex Jr.

Clint Bowyer serves up some victory donuts for the fans on hand at the Good Sam Club 500 at Talladega Superspeedway on Sunday.

Bull cars hit me in the butt,” Bowyer said of the final restart. “It just launched us out there. The rest was history. I was able to get up through the gearbox, shove him (and) it got us away. At that split second, they came to a halt and split up and were racing two- and three-wide. We were able to drive off into the sunset.” The tandem of Dave Blaney and Brad Keselowski — who worked with one another all day — finished third and fourth. Brain Vickers and Kasey Kahne were fifth and sixth. Points leader Carl Edwards and teammate Greg Biffle stayed hooked together throughout the afternoon, as well. The Roush Fenway pair lagged back, staying out of harm’s way and avoiding three accidents in the race’s final 25 laps. Edwards increased his lead in the championship standings with an 11th-place showing. Matt Kenseth, who slipped to an 18th-place result, is second, 14 points back. Keselowski’s top-5 run slots him third, 18 points behind Edwards, while Tony Stewart’s seventh-place finish has him 19 markers out of the Chase lead. “I don't know that I’ve ever been

NASCAR announced on Tuesday that it has suspended a total of six crew members of Michael Waltrip Racing’s and JTG Daugherty Racing’s No. 00, 47 and 56 teams for unapproved modifications to the windshields at Talladega.

That’s a huge day for us.” Jimmie Johnson’s bid for a sixth consecutive Sprint Cup championship may have taken a fatal blow. Johnson and teammate Dale Earnhardt Jr. were paired as drafting partners, but when it came time for one final run to the front, they stalled out, finishing 25th (Earnhardt) and 26th (Johnson). “As we went to make our switch, the pack was organized and with the green-white-checkered situation, there’s not a lot of time to get organized,” said Johnson, now 50 points behind Edwards. “We lost our momentum there and got to the outside and kind of stalled out up on the top and finished far worse than we had hoped to. “We’ll just keep fighting. Every position counts. Every spot counts. And I want to finish as high as I can in the points. If it isn’t the championship, I want to finish as high as I can possibly finish.”

late stages of the Talladega race, having hashed out their differences in a phone call. Bayne and Gordon agreed to draft with one another on the event’s final restart, but when fellow Ford driver and quasi-Roush Fenway teammate Matt Kenseth lost his drafting partner, Bayne dumped Gordon and hooked up with the No. 17. Bayne finished 15th, while Gordon plummeted to 27th. Gordon was agitated on the cool-down laps, telling his crew that he would remember the move. Bayne later said via Twitter that, “I’m not happy about what this has become. It’s too premeditated. We should be able to go with whoever is around. I would have rather pulled over and finished last than tell (Gordon) I would work with him and then be strong armed into bailing.” Ford officials insist Bayne was not instructed to go with his teammate, although rumors had swirled all weekend that Ford drivers were told not to draft with any Chase driver not in a Ford.

When: Sunday, Oct. 30 TV: ESPN (1:30 p.m. EST) Layout: .526-mile oval Banking/Turns: 12 degrees April Winner: Kevin Harvick Crew Chief’s Take: “Brakes, brakes, brakes. Being able to get good forward bite off the corner allows for passing and plenty of speed in the straightaways, then braking hard twice a lap at the entrance to Turns 1 and 3 takes its toll. It’s not nearly as fast as Bristol, but we have as much contact at Martinsville as we do at Bristol. There aren’t as many incidents because the pace is slower. The faster you run, the more you’re on the edge of grip. When you lose grip, you make more contact. It’s inevitable, but a driver has to keep cool.

Classic Moments Martinsville Speedway The media in attendance for the 1960 Virginia 500 are treated to a luxury unheard of in the formative years of stock car racing: An airconditioned press box — a NASCAR first. It’s another NASCAR first as well, as Richard Petty wins his first of a series-best 15 races at Martinsville Speedway. Petty leads laps 316 through 333, but relinquishes the lead to Bobby Johns, who takes over for the next 48 laps until he suffers a rearend failure. Jimmy Massey assumes the lead but is overtaken by Petty one lap later. The King leads the final 116 circuits to capture his second career Grand National win. Petty wins three races in the 1960 campaign and finishes second in the standings. It is another four years until he breaks through for his first title.

Athlon Fantasy Stall Looking at Checkers: Prior to a 12th in April, Denny Hamlin had averaged a 2.4-place finish in his last nine Martinsville starts. Pretty Solid Pick: Jimmie Johnson and Jeff Gordon are the other two you have to keep an eye on. Good Sleeper Pick: This is one of Junior’s favorites, made evident by his 12 top 10s in 23 starts. Runs on Seven Cylinders: Quite a few, led by Greg Biffle and David Reutimann. Insider Tip: It’s best to stay with the Big Three of Hamlin, Johnson and Gordon.

Lehman invades Loramie in conference showdown

Bengals’ Scott gets first start Benson serving suspension CINCINNATI (AP) — Bernard Scott has waited two years to get this chance. The shifty running back will be a focus of the Cincinnati Bengals’ offense Sunday in Seattle, taking over for suspended starter Cedric Benson. It’ll be his first featured appearance since he started two games as a rookie in 2009. “I’m excited to go out there and get more opportunities,” the sixthround pick said. There haven’t been many of those lately. Benson gets the overwhelming majority of plays in Cincinnati’s run offense, carrying 117 times in the first six games. Scott was so overlooked early in the season that coach Marvin Lewis insisted that offensive coordinator Jay Gruden get him a couple series each game. Even that wasn’t much. “It’s always difficult when you don’t know when you’re going to get in,” said Scott, who has carried only 30 times for 85 yards. “You know you’re probably going to get one or two plays or whatever. I feel like the more you’re in with the offense, the better feeling you get out of the game. Once I get my rhythm, I think I’ll be all right.” The question is how much the Bengals (4-2) will change their running game on Sunday in Seattle (2-4), where the crowd is loud and rookie quarterback Andy Dalton will rely on Scott instead of Benson to control the ball. “I don’t know if it’s going to change much,” Dalton said on Wednesday. “Obviously they’re two different style backs, but Bernard is capable of doing a lot of good things. We’ve got to get him in some space and let him run with it.” Benson is serving a one-game suspension for violating the NFL’s conduct policy. He spent five days in a Texas prison settling two misdemeanor assault cases before the season started. The Bengals expect him back next week for a game at Tennessee. That means Scott gets one chance to show his stuff for an entire game. “I’m going to get a better feel of the game, and

I’ll be able to showcase my talent instead of trying to make every play a home run,” Scott said. “Every play is not going to be a home run.” The Bengals have gotten off to their surprisingly strong start by playing good defense ‚Äî they rank second in the league in yards allowed ‚Äî and running the ball consistently to take the load off their rookie quarterback. Scott is an inch shorter and 29 pounds lighter than Benson, but has more break-away speed. “We’re two different kinds of backs,” Scott said. “He’s a bruiser, I’m a slash-and-dash type of back. But if I have to run inside, I don’t mind running inside neither.” The Seahawks have been tough to run against all season. Seattle has allowed only 3.2 yards per carry, best in the NFL. Cincinnati, Baltimore and Dallas have allowed 3.3. Only nine teams are allowing less than 4 yards per carry. With Scott in the backfield, the Bengals have a better chance of running outside and throwing screen passes that could turn into long gains. “Bernard is a shifty guy who can get loose,” left tackle Andrew Whitworth said. “He’s hard to tackle just because of his shiftiness. He’s just a different style, where Ced’s more of a full-steamahead, power-runner type guy. Just a little different. “It doesn’t really change anything we do just because a different guy’s carrying the football. So it’s different for the defense, not that much different for us.” Notes: MLB Rey Maualuga is wearing a walking boot this week to support his sprained left ankle. He sat out a win over Indianapolis and will miss the game in Seattle. He hopes to be back next week for a game in Tennessee. ... LB Thomas Howard didn’t practice Wednesday because of a hamstring injury. CB Nate Clements was limited by a sore hamstring. ... CB Adam “Pacman” Jones fully participated for the second straight practice. Jones, who missed the first six games while recovering from neck surgery, could be activated for the game in Seattle.

HIGH

night, the first time in Roll’s six seasons at the school that the Cavaliers won’t be playing past week 10. “We’re not disappointed in where we’re going,” said Roll of his team. “We said at the beginning that we’d have growing pains.” Despite the 3-6 record, Roll’s team has a chance to gain a share of the Metro Buckeye Conference championship. The Cavaliers are twotime defending league champs. A Lehman win Friday will result in a threeway tie for the title Loramie, among Lehman and Dayton Christian. “I told the kids, and especially the seniors, our goal was for week 10 to mean something. We wanted it to mean a playoff spot and the

league, but obviously, we’re not going to the playoffs. But we still have a shot at the league, and that’s something to play for.” Fort Loramie has a little more, with the league, its first win over Lehman, and home field in the playoffs. “We have to take advantage of all that stuff, but it’s reassuring to know that we don’t have to win to make the playoffs,” Burgbacher said. “Our kids are playing with confidence, and it’s Lehman week. I told the kids, if you can’t get fired up for this week, I’m going to make an appointment for you with a because psychologist there’s something wrong with you. “We’re preparing for them to play a perfect football game against us,” he added.

Not rivals, yet Badgers, SCOREBOARD Bucks far from friendly CALENDAR

High school

RUSTY MILLER AP Sports Writer COLUMBUS (AP) — For teams that don’t classify themselves as rivals, Wisconsin and Ohio State sure don’t seem to like each other much. Harsh words traded, are grudges are held, classic games are played. And now they both have the season riding on the outcome of Saturday’s showdown at Ohio Stadium. “We always say you can’t play football without emotion,” Buckeyes linebacker Etienne Sabino said. “So as far as this game, in particular, I don’t know, maybe the night game might hype it up a little bit more. But it’s always going to be emotional.” The 12th-ranked Badgers (6-1, 2-1 Big Ten), trying their best to put last week’s stunning, last-second loss to Michigan State in the rearview mirror, are hoping to get back into the national championship picture while also setting themselves up in the conference. The Buckeyes (4-3, 1-2) can still salvage a year in which they’ve fought off NCAA probes, suspensions and setbacks. The stakes are high. So are the emotions. “For us, it comes down

to going to Ohio State this week and taking care of business,” Wisconsin offensive lineman Travis Frederick said. There are lots of undercurrents to the game. To begin with, it’s Ohio State’s homecoming, the Buckeyes wearing are snazzy new uniforms and the game is at night — providing ample time for a crowd of more than 105,000 to, uh, get properly fueled for the drama. In addition, these are teams that after years of domination by Ohio State have settled into a comfortable competition, trading big wins and bragging rights. Over the last 10 meetings, each has won five times. Along the way, there has been a lot of pain and controversy. A year ago, the Buckeyes were ranked No. 1 and unbeaten when they went to Madison, Wis., to take on the 18th-ranked Badgers. Again, the game was at night and the mob at Camp Randall didn’t have to wait long to have something to cheer about. Wisconsin ran off the first 21 points and then held on for a 31-18 victory. It would prove to be the only loss for an Ohio State team (12-1) that would end up vacating

the entire season and a sixth straight Big Ten title because of NCAA violations. A week later, then Ohio State quarterback Terrelle Pryor took some shots at Wisconsin, saying, “Everybody knows that if we play, nine out of 10 times, we’d beat Wisconsin.” That rankled the Badgers, in particular coach Bret Bielema. During the Big Ten’s preseason meetings this summer, he expressed disappointment that Pryor — a key figure in the NCAA problems that brought down coach Jim Tressel — had given up his senior season to jump to the NFL. “The only bad part about Terrelle leaving is he kind of claimed the week after that it was a fluke, that they’d beat us nine out of 10 times,” Bielema said. “We really wanted to play that game against him. Unfortunately, we won’t. But I think our kids know what they did last year.” Asked this week about what Pryor said, Buckeyes tight end Jake Stoneburner laughed and then distanced himself from his former teammate. “(Terrelle) added fuel to the fire,” Stoneburner said. “He’s not here anymore so we can’t really deal with what he said. He’s off doing his own

But I’m sure if he was here, that would be a different animal.” Then, after Wisconsin also ruined another unbeaten Ohio State team’s No. 1 ranking, beating the men’s basketball team last February when the Buckeyes were 24-0, football wide receiver DeVier Posey and a couple of teammates expressed themselves on Twitter. “I hate Wisconsin. With a passion,” tweeted Posey, who is still serving a second five-game NCAA suspension for accepting improper benefits. “I can’t wait to play them next season.” Next season is here.

World Series Game 6 rained out ST. LOUIS (AP) — Game 6 of the World Series was postponed Wednesday because of a wet forecast, delaying the Texas Rangers’ bid to clinch their first championship. Major League Baseball announced the decision about 4¬Ω hours before the Rangers and St. Louis Cardinals were set to play. At the time, no rain had fallen at Busch Stadium, but heavy precipitation was expected. Texas leads the Series 3-2. Game 6 was rescheduled for Thursday night at 8:05 p.m. EDT. If Game 7 is necessary, it would be played Friday night. “Because of the forecast, there was no reason to wait any longer,” said Joe Torre, MLB’s executive vice president of baseball operations. Torre said he told managers Ron Washington of Texas and Tony La Russa of St. Louis on Tuesday that if the forecast didn’t change, baseball would postpone it early. Rain was in “every forecast we had probably for the last three days,” Torre said at a news conference. “They were all consistent there was going to be rain during the game.” Looking at Commissioner Bud Selig, Torre asked: “Do you want to play in rain?” Colby Lewis had been set to start for Texas, with Jaime Garcia ready to go for the Cardinals. If anything, the extra day may lead to more intrigue over who might pitch for St. Louis should the Series go to a Game 7 for the first time since 2002. Washington already has said Matt Harrison would start if the Series goes that far. The forecast for Thursday was much better ‚— clear enough with a gametime temperature in the low 50s. Rain has hovered over

In Scripture we had the opportunity to read that there will be see the miracles that he signs before he comes did, to have listened to back. Now more than his teachings. But the any time in history we more I looked at it, that see these signs. God is was not what was meant looking for his people to for me. I was chosen for step up and to do somethis time in history. After thing with their lives. thinking on these things Nov. 8 will be a time for a while, I was left for us to do something wondering what I’m when we vote. I have doing with my time in heard people say, “We history. I mean, God has need to vote to improve given me life to do some- the economy.” “We need

to vote to create jobs.” I want to challenge you to vote by the standards of God’s Word. I know that it might not seem that it would help the economy or create jobs, but if we, as God’s people, will vote in his standards, he will take care of us. He is just waiting for us to step up and actually do what he has asked of us. 2 Chronicles 7:14: “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves and pray, seek my face and turn from their wicked ways: then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sins, and will heal their lands.” I want to ask you to accept your part in history and vote to honor God. You have been chosen for such a time as this. What will you do with it? Will you vote for the candidate that will promise to give you a job and fix the economy but

in the end not fulfill his or her promises? Or will you vote for the candidate that will hold their values and morals to honor and fear God? When we, as Christians, can get past our own wallets and pocketbooks and start getting back to voting our morals and values, God will bless us. We will see a change in this country that will change the course of history. We were chosen for today, for this time; for such a time as this. By doing our part and accepting what God has called us to, we can see our family, friends and even those we don’t know come to know Jesus. We have been chosen by him. (John 15:16) Chosen to do something today. Will you accept?

Local church to host Bluegrass band to perform nationally known trio at Sidney church Sunday Beyond the Ashes, a nationally known southern gospel trio from Nashville, Tenn., will be in concert at Northtowne Church of God on Sunday at 6 p.m. Tim Bartee, the pastor of Northtowne Church of God, invites the community to this special event. The church is located at 2008 Wapakoneta Ave. at the corner of Parkwood Street. For more information, call 498-1476. The group is made up of Anthony Facello, Kellan Monroe and Casey Rivers. Facello, the group’s founder and tenor singer, is no stranger to Christian music. The Dovenominated vocalist has been traveling for 18 years. He has sung and toured with some of gospel music’s most rec-

ognized names and even enjoyed being a part of the well-known Gaither tour on several occasions. Rivers, lead singer, sings, plays and writes music. His big break came when he was the first runner-up on the national country reality series, “Nashville Star.” Monroe is the newest addition to Beyond the Ashes and comes from South Carolina. As far back as Monroe can remember he has been surrounded by a love for

music and ministry. Song writing, playing the piano as well as many other musical instruments, are among many of Monroe’s talents and passions. Above all of his talents his heart for God and ministry shine brighter, organizers said. So many people carry the ashes of their failures in their “spiritual pockets,” organizers said. Beyond the Ashes brings music that empties those pockets and fills them up with God’s love.

Church plans Pancake Day Saturday PASCO — Pasco United Methodist Church on Ohio 706 will host Pancake Day, open to the public, Saturday from 8 a.m. to noon. The menu includes pancakes and

sausage. Extras include eggs, sausage gravy and biscuits. Drinks available are orange juice, coffee and milk. Tickets are $4 for adults and $3 for children age 12 and under.

The Rum River Blend Bluegrass Band will appear at the First Christian Church, 320 E. Russell Road, Sunday at 7 p.m. A free-will offering will be taken. “Hearing Rum River Blend is a real joy,” stated the Rev. Phil Chilcote, the pastor of First Christian. “Everyone in the group if full of energy, fun, love of life and love of God. We are really pleased to have them come to play for the Sidney area. The concert is open to the public and there will be a free-will offering taken.” The band, which is based in Troy, bill itself as “unprofessional entertainment.” The band takes its name from the Rum River that flows through band member Linda Tatarian’s hometown of Milaca, Minn. The band performs a blend of traditional bluegrass, folk, gospel and children’s songs. The audience is encouraged to join in on the fun as kazoos, spoons, washboards and various other noise-

Rum River Blend Bluegrass Band making instruments are often passed out to the crowd. Linda Tatarian, the leader of the band, plays five-string banjo and sings like a good Minnesotan should, Chilcote said. Chris Tatarian plays rhythm guitar and sings backup vocals in a California style that only he knows. Chris and Linda are the “roots” of Rum River Blend and have played together since 1992. After moving to Ohio in 2000, they have played with a variety of talented musicians. The bass beat for the band is provided by “Smiling” Bill Benning, playing acoustic/electric bass guitar. Benning

plays with a flair developed over time playing a wide variety of musical types with many different bands. Carl Phillis joins the group on fiddle. He has years of professional musical experience, having played with most bands and orchestras in the area at one time or another. He is the 1948 Ohio State Fiddle Champion and is a professor of bluegrass fiddle music at Sinclair Community College in Dayton. His fiddle playing brings a new level of energy and a host of new songs to the band. On special occasions, RRB is joined by Mark Acton with harmonious vocals and mandolin.
