The city of Sidney on Nov.8 is seeking voter approval of a 0.25 percent levy in addition to the 1.5 percent tax on income currently being levied.

The tax would be collected for a five year period beginning Jan. 1, 2012.

Funds generated by the temporary tax will be restricted for only the construction and reconstruction of streets alleys, bridges, curbs and gutters within the city.

The city is responsible for maintaining 103 miles of streets, although the budget permits resurfacing of only 2 to 2.5 miles a year. Under present conditions it could take 40 to 50 years to resurface 103 miles of street pavement.

Levy promoters say current economic conditions and spiraling costs of asphalt have made it impossible for the city to resurface an acceptable amount of streets each year.

The cost of asphalt alone has doubled in the past seven or eight years.

“To maintain the streets in good condition, at least 5 to 7 miles should be resurfaced each year,” Bruce Dickman, chairman of PASS, the city’s ballot issue committee, says.

“Passage of the Nov. 8 issue will permit the resurfacing of

an additional five to seven miles of streets over the next five years, a significant improvement throughout the city.”

(Activities of Positive Action for Sidney Streets are being funded with private donations). The group is contacting residents by direct mail as well as door-todoor visitation.

In response to taxpayer questions, the committee reports $500,000 is currently available yearly for street resurfacing - $400,000 from income tax receipts and about $100,000 from the countylevied $5 license fee. A citylevied $5 license fee generates about $100,000 for curb and gutter replacement.

If approved by voters, the tax issue would temporarily increase Sidney’s income tax rate to 1.75 percent over the next five years. Piqua and Troy currently collect 1.75 percent and Vandalia collects 2.0 percent.

Veterans Day speaker announced On the 11th hour of Nov. 11, Sidney and Shelby County will once again celebrate Veterans Day on Sidney’s courthouse square.

The annual celebration pays tribute to the nation’s veterans who have served in both war and peace. The date was originally chosen to commemorate World War 1, which ended Nov. 11, 1918. Veterans Day was later established by Congress in 1926.

This year’s ceremonies will take place on the northwest corner of the courthouse lawn.

The speaker will be Jon Johnson, a Vietnam War veteran associated with the Shelby County Veterans Service Commission. Ed Ball, a Persian Gulf veteran and Veterans Service officer, will be master of ceremonies.

Vietnam veterans Charles Craynon and Dick Snider will place the flag in proper position as the service begins and the Lehman Catholic High School Limelighters will perform the national anthem and a “United We Stand” medley.

STATE NEWS

Sidney Daily News, Monday, October 31, 2011

A look at Ohio’s crackdown on wild animals division handles native wildlife, such as deer, certain bears and raccoons — not non-native animals, such as lions and tigers. A spokeswoman for the agency says no steps were taken to fulfill Strickland’s directive because counsel advised them legislation was needed before such action could be carried out.

Q: What did the Kasich administration do after his predecessor’s order expired?

A: The Kasich administration announced in April that a working group of stakeholders would convene to recommend legislation aimed at regulating dangerous wild animals. The group first met in June, and been meeting has monthly. Kasich’s executive order directs the members to provide their framework for a new law no later than Nov. 30.

Kasich spokesman Rob Nichols said the working group has not been directed to put Strickland’s ideas into law. But, Nichols said, “It’s a good guide to some of the things we’re thinking about.”

Q: Are the working group’s meetings open to the public or media?

A: No. Unlike legislative committees or apcommissions, pointed the working group is not a public body. It does not have policy-making authority. It’s a group of 10 stakeholder organizations that include the Ohio Association of Animal Owners, the Ohio Farm Bureau, the Zoo Association of America and the state’s natural resources department among others.

Q: Would either executive order have prevented Ohio animal owner Terry Thompson from keeping and later freeing 56 rare and dangerous wild animals?

A: It’s unclear. Strickland’s order could have led to Thompson’s animals being taken away, says Wayne Pacelle, president and CEO, Humane Society of the United States. That’s because Thompson had a previous animal cruelty conviction from 2005, and he would have been in violation of Strickland’s rules had they still been in place on May 1. In comparison, Kasich’s order draws attention to a 1953 Ohio law that gives humane societies the authority to enforce the state’s animal welfare laws, including the ability to arrest people. Laura Jones, a spokeswoman for the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, said it’s possible that local authorities could have used that law to step in during the 2005 animal cruelty case.

IN THIS photo taken Oct. 15, Katie Thomas (right) poses with family members, including her daughter Ella Hall, (left) great-grand daughters Travinea McDonald, 15, and Eleah McDonald, 8, at the Farmers’ Market in Toledo.

Thomas, 90, will be retiring from selling at the market. She started selling vegetables out of her old station wagon in the 1940s, and at the Toledo Farmers’ Market in 1952 after the NAACP succeeded in obtaining a stall for her.

90-year-old retiring from Ohio farm market TOLEDO (AP) — Katie Thomas liked the business when she was 6 or so, walking with her Emma grandmother Epps Gibbs several miles into Yazoo City, Miss., peddling okra, butter and fresh milk door-to-door to white people. “People might give us a ham sandwich or an orange or clothes.” It was the 1920s.

“She had a basket on her head and a pail on each arm. And I’d be leading a horse with a stack of (live) chickens in gunny sacks, their heads sticking out,” Thomas says.

She still likes it. “I’m a people person.”

She started selling vegetables out of her old station wagon in the 1940s, and at the Toledo Farmers’ Market in 1952 after the NAACP succeeded in obtaining a stall for her.

Saturday will be her last day at market.

“I’m 90 years old!” is her simple explanation for retirement.

She splays her large hands on the kitchen table, marveling at what amazing tools they have been for nearly a century.

“These hands here have did some work,” she exclaims, Mississippi flavoring her speech.

On a recent weekend, she sat at the market on a folding chair, bundled up next to an electric heater behind the booth loaded with corn and red and brown sweet potatoes. Her daughter, Ella M. Hall (“I call her boss lady”), and great-grandchildren, Ramon Labiche, 20, Travinea McDonald, 15, and Eleah McDonald, 8, served customers.

“I was born with pretty good mother wisdom,” she says, tapping her head with a long finger. It’s a hard head, she admits.

She recalls a grandfather who was secretly taught to read by a white woman he worked for — he, in turn, taught Katie and others the alphabet and spelling as they lay on their stomachs around the fire at night; and a grandmother who freely walked off African soil as a girl and onto a ship bound for the New World, believing she’d be re-

50 arrested at OU party Big ATHENS (AP) — Police say the annual Halloween block party that helped earn Ohio University its No. 1 party school ranking ended this year with 50 arrests, largely alcohol related.

The Saturday night party near the university in downtown Athens generally draws about 20,000 people, and authorities say this year’s crowd was typical. They say ambu-

lance calls were up — to about 45 — and were mostly alcohol related.

Revelers interviewed

by The Athens Messenger say they felt comfortable with the security level and called the event safe and fun.

Arrests in some recent years have eclipsed 200.

The university was voted the top party school in August on the 2011 Princeton Review surveys.

cotton a day. That’s where she met Henry Thomas, before he left to serve in the Navy during World War II. Upon his return, they ventured north, seeking a better life and education for their children. She was 24 and he was 26 in October 1946, when they and Ella, their oldest, got on a bus, leaving the younger four with relatives.

“It was a Jim Crow bus until Indianapolis, where you could sit wherever you wanted. The whole back of the bus was full of black folks leaving the South,” she says. “It was a great migration. These men hadn’t been away from home before the war.

I think all the black people I knew who had people in the military went north.”

NEW FRANKLIN (AP) — Spurred by an impromptu $100 donation, a Vietnam vet plans to dedicate a bench at Ohio Veterans Memorial Park to a Marine who died in the war 43 years ago clutching a grenade to spare two nearby servicemen.

The Akron Beacon Journal reports Marine Pfc. Burt Everett Miller, known as Rusty by his friends, died Nov. 4, 1968, when he took the full force of the grenade that had landed on his chest.

Gary Kindig of New Franklin, south of Akron, had served with the 101st Airborne and returned home about two weeks before the death of Miller, one of his best friends from their Manchester High School days.

Now 63, Kindig and another friend were visiting the Memorial Park in Clinton this summer when Kindig said he’d like to honor Miler with a bench.

The friend pulled a $100 bill from his pocket, starting Kindig on a mission in which he raised $4,000 for the bench in three months.

Miller’s parents Jean and Bob Miller said their family plans to be at the park this Nov. 4 when the bench is dedicated to their oldest son.

COLUMBUS (AP) — Ohio Gov. John Kasich has put in place temporary measures to crack down on private ownership of dangerous wild animals while tougher laws are written this fall.

Some animal owner groups welcomed the order, though others have blasted it as not going far enough. Critics, including the Humane Society of the United States, say they would have preferred a ban on the purchase and sale of exotic animals. That’s what Kasich’s Democratic predecessor, former Gov. Ted Strickland, ordered before leaving office in January.

Sparring over Kasich’s approach comes after dozens of lions, bears and tigers were shot to death by police in Zanesville two weeks ago after their owner freed them and then killed himself.

A look at some of the questions and answers surrounding the firstterm Republican’s executive order: Q: Does the Kasich’s order ban the ownership of exotic animals, such as tigers and lions?

A: No. Under his executive order issued Oct. 21, the state will work with health departments and humane societies to better enforce existing laws. Kasich has directed the state’s Department of Agriculture to try to temporarily halt auction sales of wild animals and to shut down unlicensed auctions. He’s also ordered a review of the existing state permits issued to people who own wild animals.

By contrast, Strickland’s order called for a ban on the future ownership, breeding, sale, trade or barter of wild animals.

Under his plan, Ohioans who already owned exotic pets would have had to register them with the state, and they would have been barred from breeding or selling their boas, chimpanzees, tigers and other wild animals.

Q: How long does an executive order last?

A: That depends on when the governor specifies. Strickland’s order was effective for 90 days and it included emergency rules. Kasich’s order is set to run out on his last day in office, though he can end it before then. An order is typically used to put policies in place immediately.

Q: What happened to Strickland’s order?

A: It expired in April along with its emergency rules. The former governor issued the order in January, just days before leaving office. Kasich did not renew the order. His administration’s lawyers say the state’s Division of Wildlife did not have the legal authority to enforce the directive. The

NATION/WORLD BRIEFLY

Search suspended ATCHISON, Kan. (AP) — Crews suspended their search Sunday for three people missing after a thunderous explosion at a Kansas grain elevator killed three workers and hospitalized two others with severe burns.

The blast, which shook the ground so hard that it was felt into neighboring Missouri, is a harrowing reminder of the dangers workers face inside elevators brimming with highly combustible grain dust at the end of the harvest season.

The explosion Saturday night at the elevator in Atchison, about 50 miles northwest of Kansas City, sent an orange fireball into the night sky, shot off a chunk of the grain distribution building directly above the elevator and blew a large hole in the side of the one of its concrete silos.

Skeptic changes his mind WASHINGTON (AP) — A prominent physicist and skeptic of global warming spent two years trying to find out if mainstream climate scientists were wrong. In the end, he determined they were right: Temperatures really are rising rapidly.

The study of the world’s surface temperatures by Richard Muller was partially bankrolled by a foundation connected to global warming deniers.

He pursued long-held skeptic theories in analyzing the data. He was spurred to action because of “Climategate,” a British scandal involving hacked emails of scientists.

Yet he found that the land is 1.6 degrees warmer than in the 1950s. Those numbers from Muller, who works at the University of California, Berkeley and Lawrence Berkeley National Lab, match those by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and NASA.

According to a police report, a trooper spotted a patrol car changing lanes in a dangerous manner earlier this month. The report says the patrol car ignored warnings to pull over and led a brief high-speed chase before stopping near Hollywood.

Qantas expected to resume flights after court acts DALLAS (AP) — Qantas Airways was expected to resume flying Monday after an Australian court intervened in a labor dispute that led the airline to ground its entire fleet over the weekend.

By the time the labor-relations court acted, several hundred flights had been canceled and tens of thousands of passengers stranded around the world.

Some airline industry experts say Qantas’ surprise grounding of its entire fleet Saturday could cause many travelers to book future trips on other airlines.

Qantas CEO Alan Joyce said he had no choice but to order the lockout of union workers and end months of rolling strikes that led to canceled flights, $70 million in losses and a collapse in future bookings.

Joyce told the Australian Broadcasting Corp. that he

expected some flights to resume by mid-afternoon Monday. It was unclear how long it would take for the airline to resume a full schedule. The airline had estimated that it would lose $20 million a day during the lockout.

The Australian labor-relations court issued its ruling ending the standoff early Monday morning — midday Sunday in the United States — after holding an emergency hearing that included testimony from company, labor union and government officials.

The president of the laborarbitration panel, Geoffrey Giudice, said the group acted to protect Australia’s tourism and aviation industry.

The airline said 447 flights had been canceled in the first 24 hours of the lockout. Qantas did not immediately update that figure.

Qantas is the largest of

Australia’s four national domestic airlines, carrying about 70,000 passengers a day on a fleet of 108 planes that operate in 22 countries.

In 2010, it was the 16th largest airline in the world by passenger miles flown, according to the trade publication Air Transport World.

Its major international destinations include Singapore, Hong Kong and London.

In the United States, Qantas flies to Los Angeles, Dallas, New York and Honolulu.

Travelers reported being ordered to leave planes that were already on the tarmac when the lockout began Saturday. More than 60 planes in mid-flight flew to their destinations, then were parked.

Qantas said it paid to rebook passengers on other airlines, including compensating those who had to pay higher last-minute fares to

SNOW Plainfield, and nearby Windsor had gotten 26 inches by early Sunday.

It was blamed for at least nine deaths, and states of emergency were declared in New Jersey, Connecticut, Massachusetts and parts of New York.

Roads, rails and airline flights were knocked out, and passengers on a JetBlue flight were stuck on a plane in Hartford, Conn., for more than seven hours. And while children across the region were thrilled to see snow so early, it also complicated many of their Halloween plans.

Martovich of Sharon Southbury, Conn., said she hoped the power will come back on in time for her husband’s Halloween tradition of playing “Young Frankenstein” on a giant screen in front of their house. But no matter what, she said, they will make sure the eight or so children who live in the neighborhood don’t miss out on trick-ortreating.

“Either way we will get the giant flashlights and we will go,” she said.

More than 800,000 power customers were without electricity in Connecticut alone — shattering the record set just two months ago by Hurricane Irene. Massachusetts had more than 600,000 outages, and so did New Jersey — including Gov. Chris Christie’s house. Parts of Pennsylvania, New Hampshire, New York, Maine, Maryland and Vermont also were without power.

“It’s going to be a more difficult situation than we expe-

get home.

For several weeks, workers have carried out rolling strikes and refused to work overtime to demand higher pay and protest the airline’s plans to cut about 1,000 jobs.

Qantas, which has about 32,500 employees, wants to reduce costs by creating new Asia-based airlines for international flying. International flights were a roughly $200 million drain on the company last year.

The company reported in August that annual profit had doubled. But it said the business climate was too turbulent — partly because of labor turmoil — to forecast future earnings.

Henry Harteveldt, an airline industry analyst in San Francisco, predicts the shutdown will do long-term damage to the Qantas name by hurting its reputation for reliability.

NATO convoy bomb adds urgency to protecting Kabul KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — The weekend suicide bombing of a NATO convoy that killed 17 people in Kabul adds urgency to the U.S.-led coalition’s work to expand a security bubble around the Afghan capital.

With most of the attacks in Kabul blamed on the Pakistan-based Haqqani network, the latest reinforced U.S. and Afghan demands that Islamabad do more to curb militant activity and sanctuaries on its territory.

While there is no specific information linking Saturday’s convoy attack to the Haqqani network, investigators say they soon will have evidence the bombing was “Haqqani-related,” a western diplomat said Sunday. The diplomat, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the investigation, said it was “very possible” the attack was the work of Haqqani fighters, who have ties to both al-Qaida and the Taliban.

In the brazen midday assault, a suicide bomber rammed a vehicle packed with explosives into an armored coali-

tion bus traveling in the southwest end of the city. Heavily armored military vehicles also were in the convoy, but the bomber targeted the bus, which was carrying troops and civilians contractors.

The Haqqanis were the specific focus of two military operations this month that involved tens of thousands of Afghan and NATO troops. They were conducted over nine days in Kabul province, Wardak, Logar and Ghazni provinces south and west of the capital and Paktia, Paktika and Khost provinces along the border. More than 200 insurgents were killed or captured.

At least 20 of them had ties to the Haqqani group, including 10 identified as leaders of the network.

Marine Gen. John Allen, the top commander of U.S. and NATO forces in Afghanistan, said in a recent interview with The Associated Press that the operations against the Haqqanis were conducted in preparation for next year’s plan to step up operations to keep in-

surgents from infiltrating across the Pakistani border and into the capital, especially from the south.

“The campaign plan is to extend operations down in that area — pretty significantly — to secure the orbital districts around Kabul and push that security zone out,” Allen said.

“The overarching campaign plan for next year is going to see us consolidate our holdings in the south, conduct operations in the east to expand the security zone around Kabul and then connect the two,” he said. That also would facilitate travel along a highway that connecting Kabul with southern Afghanistan, he said.

In Saturday’s attack, the force of the explosion knocked the bus on its side and ignited a large fire that sent heavy black smoke rising above the scene.

Seventeen people died — five NATO service members, including one Canadian soldier; eight civilian contractors, including two from Britain; and four Afghans, including a policeman.

For more than 12 years, Holy Angels Soup Kitchen has provided lunches and compassion to area residents each Monday, Wednesday and Friday at the Alpha Community Center on East Court Street.

The kitchen serves anyone, regardless of age, income, faith, or level of need. It provides both a tangible solution to hunger for the needy and intangible fellowship for those who are alone or feeling lost without hope.

Director Pat Luthman said the kitchen serves 80 to 120 people each day, a number that has increased in the past few years due to the ongoing economic decline.

The organization was founded in 1999 when an anonymous Sidney resident recognized a need and put a plan into action to serve both the less fortunate and aging citizens of Sidney. Utilizing a small-budget approach developed by Dick Steineman of St. Patrick Church in Troy years earlier, she and Steineman approached

The idea was embraced, but the council required her to execute a funding, operational and staffing strategy beyond her prior social service experiences. Undaunted, she contacted her father, a retired local business executive, and asked him to find sponsors who would provide start-up funding. He generated several thousand dollars in just a few days.

A committee comprising individuals from the church was formed to oversee the project. The secured committee kitchen and dining facilities and hired Luthman.

Retired teachers learn of levy Fifty-one members of the Shelby County Retired Teachers Association (SCRTA) met at the Moose Lodge in Sidney for their fall meeting.

Guest speakers were Marc McDaniels, executive director of TriCounty Board of Recovery & Mental Health Services and Bob Parker, director of United Way. The Tri-County Board of Recovery and Mental Health Services will have a 0.6 mill, five-year, renewal levy on the No-

ballot, Mcvember Daniels told the group.

The levy provides services through a network of provider agencies located in Shelby, Miami, and Darke counties.

These local agencies serve approximately 10,000 people per year.

McDaniels mentioned that the renewal levy is even more important than usual since cuts have been made in state funding.

Parker stated that this year’s goal for the Shelby County United

Way is $1.3 million. The theme is “Growing Together — The United Way.” He stressed that programs receiving United Way support help people of all levels of income, from the youngest children to the oldest adults. He also noted that approximately 30 percent of United Way income is from members of the Cornerstone Society, individuals who donate $500 or more.

Parker stated that John Deeds is the chairman for the United Way 2011

campaign in Shelby County.

Following the presentations by the guest speakers, SCRTA members voted to support the campaigns of both the Tri-County Board of Recovery & Mental Health and the Shelby County United Way. After brief reports by the SCRTA Legislative, Membership, and Informative Services chairpersons, the meeting was concluded. The next meeting will be Dec. 1 at the Sidney Moose Lodge.

LETTERS

TO THE EDITOR

Court has lasting effect To the editor: On Nov. 8 Shelby County residents have the opportunity to finally vote on a critical judgeship which will have a continuing impact on our criminal justice system, that of Sidney Municipal Court Judge.

All of our courts are important but the argument could be made that Municipal Court has a greater influence on our lives than that of any other. Over 10,000 residents each and every year walk through those halls as defendants, victims, witnesses and jurors in almost one-fourth of the population of Shelby County. These are people with profound issues that must be addressed for the good of our society and these issues are fundamental to our way of life.

Most constitutional law is made in this courtroom. For example: Ernesto Miranda was a defendant in a Municipal Court and the rulings made there traveled all the way to the Supreme Court and gave rise to what we know as the “Miranda Rights” which protects us all. The same is true with search and seizure, the right to remain silent and many other constitutional rights.

So my point is, when I read comments from our current appointed Municipal Court Judge Duane Goettemoeller

refer to his courtroom as a “mix” of “Judge Judy” and “Night Court” (re: Sidney Daily News, Oct. 24) I am distressed.

The happenings in Sidney Municipal Court are not to be looked on as a source of entertainment but a fundamental part of our criminal justice system that directly affects our lives, liberty and safety. Many of these defendants are first time offenders that have simply made a bad choice. The atmosphere of the courtroom and the way they are treated in the courtroom will have a lasting effect on their view of the justice system and how they interact in the future with law enforcement in our community.

Appearing before a court, by Judge Goettemoeller’s own admission, that allows for a “Judge Judy” and “Night Court” atmosphere will not instill in those defendants and victims the sense of respect for law and order we need in Sidney and Shelby County.

I believe Jeff Beigel has demonstrated the professionalism and conservative values in his practice and family life needed to restore the importance of this grand institution-our Municipal Court. This is why I ask you to join me on Nov. 8 in voting for Jeff Beigel for municipal court judge.

Jon F. Baker 6500 Pasco Montra Road

Joslin shows leadership To the editor: Rob Joslin’s leadership, experience and knowledge have served Clinton Township well.

Rob draws his leadership from his tireless service as past president of both Ohio and American Soybean Association. As president he was at the forefront on issues and policies that affect the global trade and the local success of the largest industry in Ohio.

His experience with equipment and land management allow him to have a clear picture of the issues that arrive with infrastructure and

service to the township’s residents. His knowledge of the community’s current and historical issues allow him to assess and move forward with decisions that affect the township in the most economic and efficient way possible.

As a farmer/small business owner, he understands the value of hard work and the economic strains we all face in the current environment. I believe Rob has been and still is the clear choice for Clinton Township trustee.

Larry Holloway 276 Pinehurst Drive

Support Joslin for trustee To the editor: I would like to add my voice to the chorus of support to re-elect Rob Joslin as Clinton Township trustee.

I have known Rob for many years through a mutual friend. During those years I have had numerous “kitchen table” discussions with Rob on a variety of issues related to the Sidney/Shelby County area. Rob has always been open-minded and respectful during those

talks with his focus on what is best about and for our community.

During the past year, I witnessed Rob’s caring personality as daily he checked on our mutual friend who was battling cancer. Rob’s demonstrated dedication to others combined with a willingness to listen are traits I admire. Therefore, I am supporting Rob for re-election to Clinton Township trustee.

Michael McRill 107 Terrace Drive

To the editor: Much controversy surrounds discussion of Issue 2 and Senate Bill 5. One argument is the bill will reduce the amount of public workers and general safety will be at risk. This statement is false.

Under current law, public employers must abide by sometimesburdensome labor contracts that demand expensive fringe benefits. During these hard economic times, employers lack the flexibility to restructure their budgets and must in turn lay off workers. SB5 reforms current laws and would reduce costs and save money. It does not dictate wages or amounts of workers.

The Ohio Department of Administrative Services estimated if just two of the reforms in SB5 had been enacted in fiscal year 2010, the state could have saved $191 million. With that extra money, the state could perhaps hire more workers, not remove them.

Another point of contention is how the money is saved. Personnel costs account for 70 to 80 percent of government budgets, so naturally those would be the first reduced. This would be done by employees earning their pay based on performance, as well as paying 15 percent on their health insurance and 10 percent on their retirement plan. This is still less than private sector

workers who pay on average 31 percent of their healthcare coverage.

Yet with these changes, SB5 does not eliminate workers’ collective bargaining rights. According to Building a Better Ohio, “Government employee unions can still assist their members in negotiating pay and employment conditions.”

Another claim is that SB5 would harm the middle class. This is untrue. First, reduced costs mean reduced taxes for the middle class to pay. Secondly, SB5 would keep the best teachers, social workers and emergency responders on the job by paying based on how well they perform, as the private sector does, and not firing them because they were the last to be hired.

Thirdly, SB5 allows workers to choose whether to join a union, and if not, they would not be compelled to pay union dues or fees. In addition, the amendment to the Revised Code, Section 9.81, as proposed by SB5 requires permission for deductions in pay by unions for charitable agencies. Imagine the money a worker could save by not being forced to pay union dues.

Issue 2 keeps the best workers on the job and puts money back in the pockets of public employees and taxpayers.

Vote “yes” on Issue 2.

What can taxpayers afford?

To the editor: Over the past few years, workers across the state have made many sacrifices. Restrained budgets in businesses all over Ohio have resulted in workers taking pay cuts or being laid off altogether.

To these workers, the mere thought of a pay increase, though always enticing, in reality was probably nothing more than a pipedream.

Compare this to what goes on in government, and you will notice a big difference. Instead of cutting back salaries in a difficult economy, the way government employees are paid has remained pretty much the same. These workers, for the most part, have continued to receive automatic step increases in salary — benefits private sector employees simply do not have.

In the private sector, workers are paid based on their value to the company. Understandably, workers’ pay often increases over time, but this is only because their years of experi-

ence and knowledge usually make them more valuable. It is not, however, guaranteed.

Changes in customer preference and ups and downs in the economy all play major roles as to how much a business earns and, thus, how much it can give to its employees.

So it is easy to understand why many Ohioans support the provision in Senate Bill 5 that eliminates automatic salary increases for public workers.

This is an issue of “what can the taxpayers afford?” The fact is, many public employees throughout the state have not shared in the pain of this “great recession.”

The public has expressed its desire for government to run more responsibly and efficiently, but also more fairly. Eliminating automatic salary increases for government employees is just one way that SB 5 establishes balance for all of Ohio’s workers.

State Rep. John Adams 1509 Bon Air Circle

Honest and fair To the editor: On Tuesday, Nov. 8, the residents of Shelby County have the opportunity to vote for Sidney Municipal Court judge. As a lifelong resident, my vote will go toward electing Judge Duane Goettemoeller. I have known Duane for nearly 20 years and have always

known him to be an honest, fair and compasionate lawyer and judge.

Please remember when you go to the polls to vote on Nov. 8, vote to keep Judge Goettemoeller.

Mary Ellen Bertke 4730 Fort LoramieSwanders Road Minster

To the editor: This letter is in support of Shelby County attorney, assistant prosecutor and local businessman Jeffrey Beigel.

Mr. Beigel is campaigning for the opportunity to serve as our community’s next elected Municipal Court judge.

Mr. Beigel holds our Municipal Court in the highest regard. The court and those who serve the court make real and positive differences to both our community and more broadly, our society. Mr. Beigel has consistently observed that the municipal court is the “court of first impression.” He is adamant that how offenders are handled in our Municipal Court can and will leave a meaningful impression. In fact, the impression of community service, fines, probation, house arrest and certainly jail time are

proven to prevent more serious offences from occurring down the road keeping our communities and our children safe.

But that’s not all.

Based on the sheer volume of cases in municipal courts, those local decisions find their way to our supreme courts.

Because of those supreme court decisions, more common law is made from Municipal Courts than from anywhere else. Our Municipal Court is important, and we need a serious judge to manage it. We need Jeffrey Beigel.

Mr. Beigel is a conservative who values family, independence, individual and community responsibility, and the sanctity of human life. Please join me in voting for Jeffrey Beigel for Municipal Court Judge on Nov. 8.

Jeffery Sargeant 1782 Letitia Drive

Joslin wants Clinton Twp. ‘to be best it can be’ To the editor: I have known Rob Joslin since we showed hogs against each other at the Shelby County Fair. As life often does, we did not run into each other often over the years but reacquainted later. Currently, I know Rob as a successful farmer who takes pride in his family farm and cares deeply for the land and his community.

Rob is running for reelection as Clinton Township trustee. He has served me and my neighbors in that capacity for eight years. I like voting for someone with experience. It is that experience, along with Rob’s big picture think-

ing, that, in my opinion, make his the best choice for trustee. Too many times our elected officials set out to solve the problem of the moment without considering how that decision will affect us all down the road.

Over the years I have been amazed at Rob’s willingness to labor over the smallest of details to “get it right” the first time. I guess it’s because he was born and raised in Clinton Township and wants it to be the best it can be for all of us. And that’s good enough for me.

Please join me and vote for Rob Joslin Clinton Township trustee.

John Valentine 408 Brooklyn Ave.

Keep a good judge To the editor: I am a member of the same church as Judge Goettemoeller. I have known him for over 40 years. People are always saying that they wish we had truly good people working for us in the government. We have that kind of person in Judge Goettemoeller.

He listens well; he is fair and impartial; he is well trained as a judge; and he is a moral and decent person. Sidney and goodShelby County finally have a person who knows the law and stands up for what is right. We have seen him as a judge, and we know

we are keeping a judge who is a good judge and administrator of our court system.

He has lowered the budget of his court to expenses last seen in 2007.

He is a no-nonsense, common sense judge. He is a fine, upright Christian man. It is time to show our children that we mean it when we say that we vote for the best person when we vote.

Join me and vote to keep Judge Duane Goettemoeller for Sidney Municipal Court.

Leonard Albers 14100 McCartyville Road Anna

Goettemoeller ‘doing a great job’ To the editor: I am writing to say that we have a good and decent judge in Judge Duane Goettemoeller.

He is doing a great job in a difficult position.

Judge Goettemoeller has served Sidney and Shelby County ever since he became an attorney. He protected our children when he tried all of the cases about neglected and abused children. He learned how to be a good judge while working all of

those years for Judge Stevenson.

He doesn’t play politics. Everybody knows how fair and decent he is to everyone. He is a good judge, and I ask voters to keep what is good in government by voting for Judge Goettemoeller on Nov. 8. We have a good judge, and we need to keep a good judge for all of us.

Protecting your pond in winter months Now that autumn is here, Shelby County residents are beginning to make preparations for the frigid winter months ahead in West Central Ohio. We are harvesting our garden vegetables, taking our houseplants indoors, mulching and covering up our sensitive outdoor plantings, and in general, battening down the hatches in preparation for the cold winter winds and snow. But what should be done to protect our ponds and inhabitants their against the ravages of winter?

Before we can take the steps we need to protect our landscape or recreational pond, we should understand what actually goes on in the life of the pond during the winter season.

Fish kills in Ohio ponds are rare events considering the large numbers of ponds and small lakes located in the state. However, they do occur every year and some years are worse than others. Fish kills can result from a variety of causes, but the most common causes are changing weather, amount of pond vegetation present and the resulting interaction of the two. The critical factor in the pond equation is the level of oxygen in the pond. Oxygen is essential to all aquatic life and should be maintained at levels of 4 ppm (parts of oxygen per million parts of water=milligrams per liter of water) or higher.

The “Winter Oxygen Cycle” regulates oxygen levels in the pond during the winter months.

During winter, green plants and algae slow down their metabolism and die off, in response to the decrease in sunlight and water temperature.

When this happens, the production of oxygen through photosynthesis is decreased.

However, this does not mean that all oxygen

Conservation in the county

levels in the pond are much lower in winter. In unfrozen ponds, for instance, high oxygen levels will occur during winter because the oxygen needs are less in cold water. Aquatic animal (primarily fish) metabolism and oxygen-consuming decomposition processes are greatly reduced in cold water. Cold water also contains more oxygen than the warmer summer water because more evaporation occurs in warm weather depleting oxygen levels. On the surface of unfrozen ponds, strong winter winds also keep the pond water circulating and continually add oxygen throughout the winter months. These factors combine to prevent winterkill in unfrozen ponds, even though plants are contributing only a small amount of oxygen in the winter.

Problems in the winter pond begin to occur when ice forms on the pond.

As ice forms, neither the wind nor contact with the air is able to contribute oxygen to the water. The only source of oxygen becomes that produced by the few remaining algae and plants. If the ice remains thin and clear, oxygen production by plants and algae can continue as enough sunlight will filter through the ice to allow photosynthesis to occur. This oxygen production can nearly compensate for that which is used up by respiration and decomposition that is continually going on.

If the ice remains into

midwinter or thickens, oxygen levels will begin to decline. This is because each day, the plants and animals use slightly more oxygen than what is produced.

At this stage though, the pond still has sufficient oxygen.

Serious problems develop when ice persists into late winter and thickens, or is covered by snowfall. The amount of sunlight reaching the plants is drastically reduced and so are oxygen levels. However, metabolism and decomposition continue in the fish population, so oxygen levels begin to drop and can approach levels that threaten the survival of the fish. In cold water, oxygen levels that remain at less than 2-3 ppm for an extended time will begin to kill fish. If the level drops to 1-2 ppm or lower throughout the pond, a complete fish kill will result.

There are several factors that influence the probability of a winterkill: Winter severity is the most important factor in determining the likelihood of a winterkill. A mild winter means little or no ice, and no winterkill caused by lack of oxygen. A harsh winter increases the chance of problems, due to thicker ice and snow cover. Four inches of snow on top of ice nearly eliminates penetration sunlight quickly reducing oxygen levels in the pond.

Pond volume is important because the greater the volume of water in the pond, the less likely for winterkill to occur.

This is why fish overwinter better in larger and/or deeper ponds. A one-acre pond that averages six feet deep will have more winter oxygen available than a oneacre pond that averages only three feet in depth.

Decomposition of the amount of decaying organic matter that is present on the bottom of the pond is an important

factor. Dead aquatic vegetation and tree leaves account for most of the organic matter that decomposes during winter.

Ponds that have a very dense aquatic plant community in summer are the ponds that are most susceptible to winterkill during harsh winters.

Fish biomass (the amount of fish in numbers and pounds) in the pond during winter also influences oxygen decline under the ice. Even though fish slow down their metabolism during the winter, they still require oxygen. A pond that contains many pounds of fish will experience a faster decline in oxygen than a pond with fewer pounds of fish.

This is why fish farmers closely monitor ponds in winter since they are maintaining fish biomass at levels that greatly exceed a normal pond.

Pond owners should be most concerned during a harsh winter in which ice cover persists, there is considerable snow cover on the ice, the pond is small and shallow, and the pond contained a large amount of aquatic plants the previous summer.

Winterkill prevention Winterkills can be prevented in most cases, due in part to changes in weather conditions.

Even though winters in Ohio tend to be harsh, a sudden warm spell will partially thaw a pond for a few days. Oxygen levels rebound quickly when a pond becomes ice-free. A single warm period of two to three days occurring at the right time can greatly reduce the possibility of a fish kill. There are also measures that a pond owner can take to help prevent a winterkill.

Prevention activities • Limiting plant decomposition During construction of the pond, the inside slopes should be constructed to prevent excessive growth of aquatic vegetation. A slope that

drops one foot in depth for every three feet of distance toward the center of the pond, or a 3:1 slope, should be maintained along most of the shoreline areas. This will limit the amount of shallow water where summer aquatic plant growth occurs. The reduced summer aquatic vegetation means less decomposition and results in higher oxygen levels under the ice in winter. Because deeper ponds experience winterkills less often, it is important to have a maximum depth of 10 12 feet if possible. A good rule of thumb is onequarter of the pond’s surface area should be eight feet deep or half of the pond’s surface area should be six feet deep.

You can also obtain Ohio State University Extension Fact Sheets A3-98, Controlling Filamentous Algae in Ponds, A-4-98, Chemical Control of Aquatic Weeds, and the Ohio Pond Management bulletin to learn more about strategies for controlling aquatic plants.

• Aeration The installation of an aeration system will keep a small area of the pond ice-free. Aeration not only adds oxygen to the water directly due to the bubbles and agitation, but the open area allows for considerable diffusion of oxygen into the pond from the air.

The aeration system does not need to be run continuously all winter and can be turned on only when ice is forming on the pond. Leave it turned off when the pond is ice-free. Aeration can be used sparingly in winter to minimize ice cover.

Safety Note: Aeration during winter generally prevents safe ice for skating or ice fishing from developing anywhere on the pond.

• Snow Removal If your pond is ice-cov-

ered and aeration is not an option, fish winterkills can often be prevented by simply removing some of the snow from the ice. About 25-50 percent of the pond surface needs to be kept free of snow to maintain enough light to allow sufficient photosynthesis to occur. Snow removal is really effective in small, shallow ponds, where the volume of water may not be sufficient to allow oxygen to last all winter.

Safety Note: Only remove snow when the ice is safe. Having ice that is at least a minimum of four inches thick is a good rule to follow before stepping onto the ice to remove snow.

Maintaining a healthy pond year-round will help protect your fish from a winterkill. If you are interested in purchasing fish for stocking your pond, you can purchase fish from the annual fish sales held by Shelby SWCD in the fall.

The Sidney-Shelby County Board of Health at its recent meeting granted a variance for a swimming pool and ordered some properties to remain vacant.

According to the meeting minutes, which have not yet been approved by the board, board members approved a variance requested by Ray and Carla Fullenkamp, 16803 Wenger Road, Botkins, in order to construct a new aboveground swimming pool with a deck around half of the pool. They were requesting a variance from sewage treatment system regulations that state “each dwelling on a lot shall have a separate sewage treatment system with adequate area for a primary and re-

placement sewage treatment system.”

The health department staff had recommended that the variance not be approved because of inadequate available replacement area.

The board ordered the following properties to remain vacant: • Jeff Heitkamp, 8241 Lock Two Road, Botkins.

• Clay and Jessica Meckelburg, 416 Oak Ave. • Chris Cavinder, 430-432 S. Main Ave. • Caleb Luthman and Nathan Egbert, 715 Clinton Ave. • Cynthia Reisinger, 1371 Stephens Road.

• Steve Yeager, 217 E. North St. The next Board of Health meeting will be Nov. 16 at 7 p.m.

Older people are at risk, because their immunity has waned. Ten-year revaccination is recommended for all. In your case, I wouldn’t get another shot unless an allergist feels it is safe. I would urge you to meticulously clean all puncture wounds that occurred in situations where soil or dirt could enter the wound, the usual setting for a tetanus infection.

DEAR DR. DONOHUE: Why, after 15 years of having stopped smoking, has emphysema suddenly appeared?

After no symptoms, it suddenly becomes a part of your life. — C.C. ANSWER: For how many years did this person smoke, and how many cigarettes a day were smoked? It can take time for symptoms of em-

physema — breathlessness on slight exertion — to show up even though the damage was done years in the past. Not all damaged lung tissue heals. Add to that damage the emphysema that comes to everyone from aging.

Nonsmokers rarely show symptoms of age-related emphysema.

Prior smokers often do. I can say that those 15 years of not smoking greatly reduced the risk of coming down with more serious symptoms sooner. What could have been a crippling illness is unlikely to be so.

DEAR ABBY: My husband and I have been married for eight years and are amazed that most of our married friends are unable to separate for even a night.

CINCINNATI BENGALS’ A.J. Green, left, hauls in a 43-yard touchdown reception as Seahawks’ Earl Seattle Thomas defends in the first half of an NFL football game, Sunday in Seattle.

Bengals rout Seattle SEATTLE (AP) — The Cincinnati Bengals are using their defense and a couple of rookies on offense to stay in the AFC North race.

Quarterback Andy Dalton threw a pair of first-half touchdown passes, one to fellow rookie A.J. Green, Brandon Tate returned a punt 56 yards for a touchdown with 3:22 left and the Bengals won their fourth straight with a 27-12 win over the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday.

Dalton tossed TDs of 14 yards to Jerome Simpson and a beautiful 43-yarder that dropped into the arms of Green in the second quarter to give the Bengals a 17-3 lead.

From there, the Bengals (52) leaned on their impressive defense that bent, but managed to keep Seattle out of the end zone until the fourth quarter.

The Bengals are tied with the Ravens for second place in the AFC North, with both teams a half game behind Pittsburgh (6-2).

The Seahawks (2-5) were flustered to the point where running back Marshawn Lynch was barking at coaches on the bench after Seattle was held to a field goal on the final play of the third quarter — the second time they were stymied inside the 10.

The victory made Marvin Lewis the winningest coach in Bengals history with 65.

Dalton made mistakes in the second half throwing a pair of interceptions and the Bengals managed only 252 yards of total offense.

That proved to be enough thanks to special teams, defense and plenty of flubs from the struggling Seahawks.

Dalton, whom Seattle passed on in April’s draft by using its late first-round pick on right tackle James Carpenter instead of the quarterback out of TCU, was 18 of 29 for 168 yards. Green finished with four catches for 63 yards.

Mike Nugent made two field goals, including a 48yarder with 4:50 left to give the Bengals a 20-12 lead. The field goal capped a drive where Cincinnati used 4:05 off the clock and forced Seattle to get a touchdown and 2-point conversion to tie.

It was a moot point. Seattle went three-and-out on the ensuing possession and Tate caught Jon Ryan’s punt and sprinted nearly untouched to seal the victory.

TROY — Versailles, Fort Loramie and Minster finished 2, 3 and 4 in the Girls Division IV Regional Cross Country Meet Saturday, and earned trips to the state meet this weekend.

Versailles senior Tammy Berger ran away with the Division III regional cross country meet Saturday at Troy — and liked the view when she turned around.

Berger, the two-time defending state champion, was clocked 18:58.57 to lead Versailles to a second-place finish behind West Liberty-Salem and keep alive the team’s hopes for a state title as well.

Versailles put three runners in the top 20, with Natalie Grillot finishing 12th in 20:06.80; and Chloe Warvel was 19th in 20:34.62.

Houston’s Allison Roeth and Russia’s Lauren Francis advanced as individuals.

Meg Westerheide again led the way for Fort Loramie, placing fourth, and Selene Waters was 10th. Tara Luebke was 33rd, Kylie Drees 35th, Danielle Holthaus 45th, Hannah Meyer 94th and Sara Puthoff 100th.

For Minster, which was fourth, Hannah Butler was 18th, Garielle Barga 25th, Olivia Enneking 34th, Natalie Fausey 40th, Leah Niekamp 43rd, Samantha Hoelscher 49th and Amanda Sherman 67th.

Roeth, a senior, was in a race with West LibertySalem’s Meghan Vogel for second. Vogel took second in 19:07.90, while Roeth was clocked in 19:11.22.

“I finished seventh here the last two years,” Roeth said.

“So, I am happy with finishing third. My time was about 10 seconds slower than my PR. It wasn’t a fast course, so I am

happy with that.”

Houston coach Sandy Heitkamp was not surprised

by Roeth’s performance.

“She had beaten that girl (Meghan Vogel) at Anna,” Heitkamp said. “Allison’s (Roeth) goal was to be in the top three, so maybe she was just happy with that. I am not sure. The only thing that matters is she has another race next week.”

Francis, a junior, ran at the state meet last year as part of the Russia team.

“One of my goals was to finish in the top 10,” Francis said. “I am really happy to be able to go back to state and that I was able to run as well as I did. It was a tough race today.”

Russia finished fifth with 127 points, missing out on state by just two points. Minster was fourth with 125.

New Knoxville also quali-

fied an individual after Cassie Boyle placed sixth.

Boys Versailles and Russia qualified as teams to the state meet in the boys D-IV regional at Troy Saturday.

Versailles was a distant second behind Mariemont and Russia was fourth.

Versailles junior Sam Prakel established a new boys Division III regional record in winning the race at Troy Saturday in 15:32.74.

Michael Wenig was 13th in 16:56.63; while Sam Subler was 21st in 17:20.83.

“Garret (Rose) had a tough time today, but boy did those guys step up,” Pleiman said.

“Michael (Wenig) ran a PR and broke 17 for the first time, Sam (Subler) was right at his PR. You can go right down the line.”

Bucks won’t be denied

BY JIM NAVEAU jnaveau@limanews.com COLUMBUS — It was a season in four minutes, 39 seconds.

At least, it was a season’s worth of excitement, anxiety and exultation in four minutes, 39 seconds.

Ohio State (5-3, 2-2 Big Ten) stunned No. 12 Wisconsin 33-29 on Saturday night in a football game the Buckeyes seemed to have improbably won, seemed to have improbably lost, then unbelievably won, all in the final four minutes, 39 seconds.

Freshman quarterback Braxton Miller threw the biggest pass of his career so far – and one that will probably be near the top of his list when he leaves Ohio State someday – when he found another freshman, Devin Smith, with a game-winning 40-yard touchdown pass with 20 seconds to play.

Dan Herron rushed for 160 yards on 33 carries and Miller rushed for 99 yards and two touchdowns and hit 7 of 12 passes for 89 yards and another score.

Wisconsin (6-2, 2-2 Big Ten) lost for the second straight week after having hopes of playing for the national title.

Ohio State coach Luke Fickell said Miller was calm and confident as he headed out onto the field for the Buckeyes’ final possession. So confident he even gave his coach a wink.

“He had confidence. It’s amazing to see that in a young guy. He walked out there in that last minute and 10 seconds and looked at me and kind of winked and said, ‘We’re all right,’ ” Fickell said.

“We had to gain momentum. We had momentum two weeks ago (at Illinois) and we had to find a way to keep it.

Defensively, the big thing we had to do was stop the run and the front seven did a heck of a job at that,” Fickell said.

After trailing 7-3 at halftime, Ohio State struck quickly for two scores in the first five minutes, 34 seconds of the second half to take a 177 lead.

The Buckeyes took the second half kickoff and drove 75 yards in seven plays on a drive that ended with Miller

OHIO STATE’S JORDAN Hall reahes the endzone for a touchdown in the second half Saturday night in Columbus. The Bucks upset Wisconsin in a thriller, 33-29. eluding Wisconsin’s Ethan Hemer on a 1-yard touchdown run to make it 10-7.

The Buckeyes’ defense set up the second score in that time span when Ryan Shazier blocked a Wisconsin punt and Curtis Grant recovered it at the Badgers’ 1-yard line.

After not having a punt blocked since the 2009 season, Wisconsin has had two blocked in its last two games.

Two plays later, Jordan Hall scored on a 1-yard run to put OSU up 17-7 with 9:26 left in the third quarter.

Ohio State’s defense got another stop on Wisconsin, but Hall fumbled the Badgers’ punt and Andrew Lukasku recovered it at OSU’s 27-yard line. Four plays later, Ball scored on a 1-yard run.

Drew Basil’s 22-yard field goal gave the Buckeyes a 2014 lead with 10:39 left in the game.

When Miller broke loose for a 44-yard touchdown run with 4:39 to play to put OSU up 2614 after a failed two-point conversion, it appeared Ohio State had secured its big upset.

Four county teams reach regionals TIPP CITY — Anna head volleyball coach Amy Cobb says her team’s tournament run in Division III makes up for what happened in the County race this season.

The Lady Rockets could do no better than fourth in the league this year, but have since gotten their act together, and will be playing in the regional tournament.

And don’t expect the fact that they are playing the No. 1-ranked team in the state to intimidate them at all. It’s hard to imagine anyone playing as well as Anna is right now.

For the fourth straight postseason game, the Lady Rockets knocked off a team with a better record, the latest victim being outclassed Cincinnati Hills Christian Academy Saturday in the district finals at Tipp City.

Anna won 25-10, 2515, 25-13 to advance to the regional tournament Wednesday at Fairmont High School at 6 p.m. against once-beaten and top-ranked Miami East.

“We’re just playing as a team now,” said Cobb after Anna’s easy district win. “We didn’t have a lot of information on SDN Photo/Luke Gronneberg them (Cincinnati Hills), FORT LORAMIE’S Reggi Brandewie passes the so we just concentrated ball in action against Southeastern Saturday at the on doing what we Division IV District finals.

Division IV In D-IV action at Troy, the Fort Loramie Lady Redskins breezed past Southeastern 25-9, 2514, 18-25, 25-14 to earn a trip to the regional tournament starting Thursday at Tipp City.

“This team is essentially brand new this season and everything they experience just fuels them to want more,” said Loramie coach John Rodgers. “This is a great accomplishment for these girls. We played very well in game one and two, but credit Southeastern for bringing us back to reality and making us earn it.

“Our serve reception was great and gave us the opportunity to spread the ball around.

Miller rolled to his right, found Smith and OSU was up 33-29.

Wisconsin got to OSU’s 45-yard line with the help of a facemask penalty, but Wilson’s final pass was incomplete under pressure from Andrew Sweat.

Wisconsin, which had

opened up with a big first quarter last Saturday against Michigan State, got on the scoreboard first again this time.

But, other than getting to OSU’s 44-yard line in the final 30 seconds of the first half, the Badgers spent the rest of the first half on their own side of the 50-yard line.

The only fireworks in the first two quarters

was during the Ohio State band’s halftime show.

Wisconsin gained 127 yards in the first two quarters and the Buckeyes had 104 yards.

Ohio State’s only firsthalf points came on a 39yard field goal by Drew Basil that sneaked through the uprights with 2:55 left in the first half.

SAN FRANCISCO 49ers running back Frank Gore (21) runs past Cleveland Browns defensive end Jayme Mitchell (92) in the second quarter of an NFL football game in San Francisco, Sunday.

Browns lose to 49ers 20-10 SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Frank Gore charged up the middle with his signature burst for a 2-yard gain, taking another step forward in franchise history.

Gore got that coveted new contract and is playing like his old dominant self. Forget the hip injury that ended his season last November. He’s a new man making his case for a third Pro Bowl and pushing his team toward its first playoff berth in nine years.

Gore ran for both 125plus yards and a touchdown in a fourth straight game, Michael Crabtree made his first TD reception of the season, and the San Francisco 49ers beat the Cleveland Browns 20-10 on Sunday.

Alex Smith completed 15 of 24 passes for 177 yards, leading the firstplace 49ers (6-1) to their fifth consecutive victory since an overtime loss to the Cowboys in Week 2.

For Colt McCoy and the Browns, it’s 0-for the Bay Area. They lost two weeks ago in Oakland, then flopped across San Francisco Bay at Candlestick Park.

No handshake flap this time for Jim Harbaugh, either. And no post-bye letdown for his 49ers, even if it was far from flashy.

This marked Har-

baugh’s first game since his seconds-long greeting and firm backslap of Lions coach Jim Schwartz following San Francisco’s 25-19 comeback win at Detroit two weeks ago.

Harbaugh says he practiced during the bye week by high-fiving with his toddler daughter. He was polite to fellow firstyear coach Pat Shurmur when they met at midfield.

The 49ers, who were made aware by Harbaugh this week that teams were 3-9 after their byes coming into Sunday, are off to their first 6-1 start since 1998 in the days of greats Jerry Rice, Terrell Owens and Steve Young.

Cleveland’s D’Qwell Jackson committed a costly facemask penalty against Gore that would have stopped San Francisco on third down 2 yards short in the waning minutes. David Akers sealed it with his second field goal of the day, a 26-yarder.

Gore already had 103 yards on 19 carries by halftime, then got the other 7 yards he needed to pass Roger Craig and move into second place on the franchise rushing list with 7,089. Gore wound up with 134 yards on a season-high 31 carries.

VOLLEYBALL Serving was a big key for the Lady Tigers, who had three players with four or more aces, led by Ann Frieders with six.

“A lot of our points came from our service line,” said Metz.”It was very good to have a good serving game. That’s really important at this stage of the season.”

Brittany Foster led in kills with 10, Frieders had 14 assists to go with her six aces, Courtney Zimpfer had four aces, Richard led in digs with 12, and Frieders added nine.

Jackson now gets topranked St. Henry in the regional finals Thursday at Tipp City at 6 p.m.

Jackson will play in the regional for a 10th time in the last 12 years.

• The Lehman volleyball team took the sting out of Seven Hills with a 25-13, 25-10, 25-12 to win a 19th straight district title Saturday at Troy.

Which means, none of the current Lehman players had been born the last time the Lady Cavaliers weren’t playing in the regional tournament.

From Page 14A

“It is pretty amazing,” Lehman coach Greg Snipes. “The coaches were talking about it and I don’t think the players really think that much about the streak.”

Lehman, 23-3, will play Fort Loramie in the second match Thursday in the Tipp City D-IV regional semifinals.

The Lady Cavaliers took control immediately in the opening game Saturday.

After Paxton Hatcher’s kill evened things at 1-1, Ellie Waldsmith and Morgan Schmitmeyer had kills on Meghan Earhart’s serve, before Ellie Cain served eight straight points.

It was 16-5 after an Erica Paulus ace and kill

by Waldsmith, before the Stingers played them evenly the rest of the game.

Schmitmeyer had 12 kills to lead the hitters, while Waldsmith and Lindsey Spearman each had five kills.

Thobe had 10 kills and 11 assists, while Cain had 10 aces and 18 assists.

CAUTION

Opportunity Knocks...

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

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

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

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

cheeks turned a dark shade of red.

“I was just playing with you,” Hector apologized.

“You’re actually pretty good.”

“Let’s go see where the music is coming from,” Felix said, heading toward the center of town.

“Over there, at the park!”

Hector was the first to spot the crowd. “It looks like a party!”

They walked until they were at the edge of the park.

The smell of burritos, enchiladas, beans and salsa made its way to the hungry trio.

They could see decorations and a large piñata hanging from a tree branch.

“I’d give my right arm for a burrito about now,” Hector said, licking his lips.

“I’d give my giant, purple, swollen ankle for just one taco!” Felix joined in.

“I’d give both of you away for one single tortilla chip!”

Karol laughed. And before they knew what had happened, she was in the middle of the party. She was laughing and talking and pointing back to the two dirty, tired and slightly starving boys.

“What do you think she’s doing?” Felix whispered.

“Well, I think she’s earning her tortilla chip!” Hector quickly answered as Karol returned.

“OK, you two, let’s go!”

She motioned toward the party.

“I knew it! You sold us, didn’t you!” Hector said, pointing an accusing finger in her face.

The Brass Bell Written by Cathy Sewell and illustrated by Blaise Sewell of The Curriculum Closet Chapter Five: Arriving in Gallinas “Coronado and his men visited many villages in search of the seven cities of gold. Starving and tired, they would sometimes force their way into the villages and take what they needed.”

– Coronado and the Golden Cities Karol, Hector and Felix walked side by side into the town of Gallinas. Tired and hungry, the trio marched on, determined to find the treasure.

“All right, navigator,” Karol teased. “Which way?”

“Um, well, let me think,” Hector searched their surroundings. A row of businesses lined Main Street, very much like Corona. But this town was bigger.

“Look!” Felix pointed down the street. “They have a theater!”

“And a bowling alley!”

Karol added.

“Shhh … listen!” Hector said, tilting his head. “Do you hear that?”

It took a minute for Felix and Karol to hear it.

“Ah, it’s the merengue!”

Karol announced, with a little bit of a dance motion.

“What’s that supposed to be? You feeling OK?” Hector laughed.

“Shut up, Hector,” Karol’s

“No, genius! That’s my Aunt Rosa and my cousins.

They invited us to come and eat.”

“Thanks, Karol!” both boys said over their shoulder, heading to the picnic tables.

“So, Felix,” Tia Rosa began, “Karol said you’ve been reading about the explorer, Coronado.”

“Yes ma’am, that’s right,” Felix could barely speak, with both cheeks full of food.

He tried to reach into his backpack to show her the book and spilled his plate.

“Thanks again, unlucky bell,” he said under his breath.

“Here, Felix, use this,” Karol handed him a napkin.

“You should meet Demetri – he’s kind of an explorer,” Rosa said. “He’s originally from Russia and has been in the United States for about a year. He’s a taxi driver.”

Rosa walked Felix over to an unusual-looking man. He wore a brightly colored shirt, leather sandals and had a long, gray ponytail.

“How in the world can you make any money as a taxi driver out here in the middle of nowhere?” Felix asked, trying not to sound rude.

“Ah, young man!”

Demetri said in a loud, strong Russian voice. “That’s what makes it exciting! I never know who I’ll meet or where I’ll go. Every day is a new adventure for me and my companion, Misha!” His

voice echoed across the park and his arms swung around the whole time he spoke.

“It was nice meeting you, Demetri,” Felix said, slowly backing away from the loud man. “But my friends and I have a treasure to find.”

“Good luck on your adventure,” Demetri bellowed.

“Same to you!” Felix said, shaking Demetri’s big, sweaty hand.

“Thank you very much for the amazing food!” Felix told Rosa.

“You’re welcome. But promise me that next time you’re coming to Gallinas, you’ll give me a call. I’d be happy to pick you up,” Rosa said, hugging Karol goodbye.

And they were once again walking down Main Street, with full bellies and renewed excitement.

“Are we almost there?”

Karol asked, when it seemed as if they were approaching the other end of town.

“No, we’re not almost there,” Hector said. “We are there!” He stopped in front of a large brick building. They stood looking up at the big sign hanging on the front, and they all knew that they had finally arrived.

• Some Halloween costumes are popular year after year. But some Halloween costumes are inspired by celebrities, leaders or events. Look through the news and feature sections of the newspaper and choose five people who would be popular masks or costumes this year. Write a sentence for each

explaining why people would want to dress like that person.

• Everyone knows that Halloween means candy, candy, candy. Candy names are fun to read because they use language in funny ways. Pick a few of your favorites from Halloween ads in the newspaper. As a class discuss why

you like the names. Then write an outline for using the names in a Halloween story. Explain how you might use the names to describe people, events or action in your tale.

• Holidays of all kinds give businesses a way to draw attention to things they want to sell. Look through the ads in today’s newspaper and make a list with classmates of ads offering Halloween sales, deals or specials. Pick out and discuss the ones you think are the most creative. Then design your own creative Halloween ad.

• You can use the newspaper to make a quick costume. Using a full sheet of newspaper and tape, see if you can create a fancy hat from the newspaper. Can you make the hat show your personality? Discuss that idea with the class.

• Dr. Frankenstein used a jolt of electricity to bring his creation to life. Look through todays’s newspaper and see how many pictured items you can find that use electricity. Choose on item and figure out how you could make a costume of the item. Then draw a picture of yourself in that costume and label all the parts.

• “Alphabet Monster.” Kids take a page of the newspaper and, with a crayon, circle an example of each letter of the alphabet. Encourage them not to go across a line, keeping the letters in sequence, but to move all over the page (an “a” at the top, a “b” on the side, etc.)

Then they connect the letters in order. Have them turn the page in any direction until they see a “monster” on the page. It then becomes a writing exercise when they describe the monster, how he/she/it came to be, is it a good/bad monster, etc. Older kids can do this and actually turn it into a short story they read to younger students. High school students can create whole books to send to elementary schools, etc.
