Local school goes ‘pink’ to celebrate survivor

BY CHRISTINA RYAN CLAYPOOL HOUSTON — October’s Breast Cancer Awareness Month is winding down. Many of us will be putting our pink T-shirts, sweatshirts and ribbon pins away for another year. Even the NFL players who have sported their own vivid shade of pink shoes, gloves and towels will soon return to standard gear.

But for Houston resident Barb Heilers, every day is a day to celebrate her survival of the disease that will take the lives of approximately 40,000 U.S. women and 400 men this year. In addition, it is estimated that more than 290,000 females and 2,200 males will be diagnosed with breast cancer in 2012, according to the National Cancer Institute.

We often hear these startling statistics, forgetting the encouraging news that the nation can boast of nearly 3 million breast cancer survivors like Heilers. The 59-year-old woman is an elementary secretary at Hardin-Houston Local School. She has been on the staff for 17 years.

Like many rural schools, Hardin-Houston is a tight-knit community where word of tragedy or illness travels rapidly.

Folks there seem to have an innate sense of how to band together to help those in need. Back in September 2007, when Heilers was first diagnosed, she had no idea of the support she would receive along her journey of recovery.

It all began when she “had a pain in my breast, which is unusual; normally you don’t have pain associated with breast cancer,” said Heilers.

Although no one in her immediate family has had breast cancer, “from the beginning I thought it was cancer.”

The National Cancer Institute says this is not uncommon, since only about 10 percent of those diagnosed with the disease have any family history.

Heilers had been faithful in having regularly scheduled For photo reprints, visit www.sidneydailynews.com SDN Photo/Christina Ryan Claypool mammograms. Yet this time the results “didn’t seem normal.”

An ultrasound and biopsy were performed the same day. With BARB HEILERS, a Hardin-Houston Local School elementary the diagnosis came the need to undergo lumpectomy surgery secretary, celebrates five years as a breast cancer survivor.

Faculty and students at the school recently celebrated “Think See ‘PINK’/Page 12A Pink Day” in honor of her fifth anniversary.

Disarray, millions without Public power in Sandy’s wake defender named

BY TED ANTHONY Associated Press

PITTSBURGH (AP) — The most devastating storm in decades to hit the country’s most densely populated region upended man and nature as it rolled back the clock on 21st-century lives, cutting off modern communication and leaving millions without power Tuesday as thousands who fled their water-menaced homes wondered when — if — life would return to normal.

A weakening Sandy, the hurricane turned fearsome superstorm, killed at least 38 people, many hit by falling trees, and still wasn’t finished.

It inched inland across Pennsylvania, ready to bank toward western New York to dump more of its water and likely cause more havoc Tuesday night. Behind it: a dazed, inundated New York City, a waterlogged Atlantic Coast and a moonscape of disarray and debris — from unmoored shore-town boardwalks to submerged mass-transit systems to delicate presidential politics.

Ohio man sentenced for threat FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) — The U.S. Attorney’s Office says an Ohio man has been sentenced to 21 months in federal prison after admitting that he sent a threat to Kentucky Gov. Steve Beshear.

U.S. District Judge Danny C. Reeves handed down the sentence Tuesday to 45-year-old Thomas Hargreaves, who pleaded guilty in July to transmitting a threaten-

ing communication in interstate commerce.

Federal prosecutors say he sent Beshear a message over the Internet saying, “I AM GOING TO KILL YOU …

WATCH YOUR BACK PIG!” Prosecutors say Hargreaves made the threat because he was upset over losing his Kentucky commercial driver’s license.

Romney collects supplies in Ohio for storm victims

BY STEVE PEOPLES Associated Press KETTERING (AP) — Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney collected relief supplies in Ohio on Tuesday in an attempt to strike the right tone after superstorm Sandy.

“We have heavy hearts as you know with all the suffering going on in a major part of our country — a lot of people hurting this morning,” a jeans-clad Romney told several hundred supporters gathered at a suburban Dayton high school sports arena.

“We’re looking for all the help we can get for all the families that need.”

Both presidential candidates scrambled to shift campaign plans following the massive storm that wreaked havoc along the East Coast. Romney initially canceled all events for Tuesday, the day after Sandy caused flooding, deaths and power outages.

But the relief event kept Romney in the public eye and in the media spotlight with just a week to go before Election Day as President Barack Obama remained at the White House to oversee federal response efforts.

Romney did not mention or criticize his Democratic opponent during

REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTIAL candidate and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney participates in a campaign event collecting supplies from local relief organizations for victims of superstorm Sandy at the James S. Trent Arena in Kettering Tuesday. remarks that lasted less than five minutes.

He spoke while standing in front of a bank of tables where campaign volunteers had neatly lined up toothpaste, diapers, canned food and fleece blankets, among other goods. A spokesman later confirmed that Romney’s campaign had purchased some of the supplies. Though it was billed as a “storm relief event,” the candidate’s trademark campaign video was broadcast on large screens set up for the supporters who gathered inside the arena before Romney arrived.

“I will devote every waking hour of my energy to getting America strong again. That’s what an American president has to do,” Romney says in the video.

After he spoke, he stood behind a table full of relief supplies and shook hands with attendees one at a time, taking bags full of relief supplies from many of them. Romney later loaded more relief supplies into a waiting truck as a handful of reporters watched. He loaded bottled water, boxes of diapers and pallets of canned food into the truck, and was joined by Ohio Sen.

Rob Portman.

Romney refused to answer repeated questions from reporters about how he would run the Federal Emergency Management Agency as president. The Republican nominee has said he wants to return control of some federal functions to the states.

Asked whether he favors additional federal aid to help recover and rebuild from Sandy, Romney spokeswoman Amanda Henneberg said: “A Romney-Ryan administration will always ensure that disaster funding is there for those in need. Period.”

Romney also was preparing to resume an aggressive campaign schedule beginning on Wednesday.

He has scheduled three rallies across Florida. The campaign is also considering sending Romney to New Jersey later in the week, where he could meet with victims and gauge storm damage with Gov. Chris Christie, a top Republican ally and surrogate. The move would follow the path Romney took after Hurricane Isaac threatened the Republican National Convention in late August, when he toured storm damage in Louisiana with Republican Gov. Bobby Jindal, another supporter.

Teen convicted in Craigslist killing AKRON (AP) — An Ohio teenager was found guilty of aggrav a t e d murder T u e s d ay his for role in a deadly to plot lure men desperate Rafferty for work with phony Craigslist job offers.

Prosecutors in the weekslong trial painted 17-year-old Brogan Rafferty as a quick student of violence and willing participant in three killings, while the defense argued he was acting under the duress of his alleged accomplice, a self-styled chaplain depicted as a mentor.

Authorities say Rafferty, of Stow, helped Richard Beasley, of Akron, lure four victims at separate times with bogus Craigslist job offers to a nonexistent cattle farm in rural Noble County in southeast Ohio; they say the motive was robbery. Authorities say Beasley shot and killed three of the men; the fourth victim was shot in the arm and survived.

Rafferty stood with his hands clasped behind his back and showed no emotion as the verdicts were

read. His mother leaned over and cried softly.

Led from the courtroom, Rafferty shook his head and said, “Nothing to say.” He didn’t respond to reporters’ questions about the verdict.

Prosecutors and the defense, who are under a gag order, didn’t comment afterward.

Rafferty had testified that he didn’t want to be a part of such violence and said he went along with the plan only because he feared for his life.

“I thought he’d kill me,” Rafferty said.

Rafferty was tried as an adult but faces a maximum potential sentence of life in prison because he is a juvenile. His sentencing is set for Nov. 5.

Beasley, 53, has pleaded not guilty and could face the death penalty if convicted at his separate trial.

Jurors reached the verdict on their fourth day of deliberations, convicting Rafferty of three counts of aggravated murder and one count of attempted murder.

The man who survived, 49-year-old Scott Davis of South Carolina, had testified as the prosecution’s star witness, identifying Rafferty as Beasley’s accomplice and telling a harrowing story.

Storm’s cost may hit $50B

TODAY IN HISTORY

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Today is Wednesday, Oct. 31, the 305th day of 2012.

There are 61 days left in the year. This is Halloween.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Oct. 31, 1517, Martin Luther posted his 95 Theses on the door of the Wittenberg Palace church, marking the start of the Protestant Reformation in Germany.

On this date: ■ In 1795, English poet John Keats was born in London.

■ In 1864, Nevada became the 36th state.

■ In 1887, Nationalist Chinese leader Chiang Kaishek was born in Zhejiang Province.

■ In 1926, magician Harry Houdini died in Detroit of gangrene and peritonitis resulting from a ruptured appendix.

■ In 1941, the Navy destroyer USS Reuben James was torpedoed by a German U-boat off Iceland with the loss of some 100 lives, even though the United States had not yet entered World War II. Work was completed on the Mount Rushmore National Memorial in South Dakota, begun in 1927.

■ In 1959, a former U.S. Marine showed up at the U.S. Embassy in Moscow to declare he was renouncing his American citizenship so he could live in the Soviet Union. His name: Lee Harvey Oswald.

In 1961, the body of Josef Stalin was removed from Lenin’s Tomb as part of the Soviet Union’s “de-Stalinization” drive.

■ In 1968, President Lyndon B. Johnson ordered a halt to all U.S. bombing of North Vietnam, saying he hoped for fruitful peace negotiations.

In 1984, Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi was assassinated by two Sikh (seek) security guards.

■ In 1992, Pope John Paul II formally proclaimed that the Roman Catholic Church had erred in condemning the astronomer Galileo for holding that the Earth was not the center of the universe.

■ In 1994, a Chicagobound American Eagle ATR-72 crashed in northern Indiana, killing all 68 people aboard.

■ In 1999, EgyptAir Flight 990, bound from New York to Cairo, crashed off the Massachusetts coast, killing all 217 people aboard.

■ Ten years ago: Authorities charged the two Washington sniper suspects with murder in a Louisiana attack that came just two days after a similar slaying in Alabama. An earthquake toppled a school in San Giuliano Di Puglia (sahn ZHOO’-lee-ah-noh dee POOL’-yah), Italy, killing 27 children and a teacher.

OUT OF THE BLUE

2,000 sheep led through Madrid MADRID (AP) — Spanish shepherds led a flock of more than 2,000 sheep through central Madrid on Sunday in defense of ancient grazing, migration and droving rights threatened by urban sprawl and modern agricultural practices.

Many tourists and residents were surprised to see traffic cut to allow the ovine parade to bleat its way across some of Madrid's most upscale urban streets.

The right to use droving routes that wind across land that was open fields and woodland before Madrid grew from a rural hamlet to the great metropolis it is today has existed since at least 1273.

THIS AERIAL photo shows burned-out homes in the Breezy Point section of the Queens borough New York after a fire on Tuesday. The tiny beachfront neighborhood told to evacuate before Sandy hit New York burned down as it was inundated by floodwaters, transforming a quaint corner of the Rockaways into a smoke-filled debris field.

SANDY

From Page 1

Authority said. The New York Stock Exchange was closed for a second day from weather, the first time that has happened since a blizzard in 1888. The city’s subway system, the lifeblood of more than 5 million residents, was damaged like never before and closed indefinitely, and Consolidated Edison said electricity in and around New York could take a week to restore.

“Everybody knew it was coming. Unfortunately, it was everything they said it was,” said Sal Novello, a construction executive who rode out the storm with his wife, Lori, in the Long Island town of Lindenhurst, and ended up with 7 feet of water in the basement.

The scope of the storm’s damage wasn’t known yet. Though early predictions of river flooding in Sandy’s inland path were petering out, colder temperatures made snow the main product of Sandy’s slow march from the sea.

Parts of the West Virginia mountains were blanketed with 2 feet of snow by Tuesday afternoon, and drifts 4 feet deep were reported at Great Smoky Mountains National Park on the Tennessee-North Carolina border.

With Election Day a week away, the storm also threatened to affect the presidential campaign. Federal disaster response, always a dicey political issue, has become even thornier since government mismanagement of Hurricane Katrina in 2005. And poll access and voter turnout, both of which hinge upon how people are impacted by the storm, could help shift the outcome in an extremely close race.

As organized civilization came roaring back Tuesday in the form of emergency response, recharged cellphones and the reassurance of daylight, harrowing stories and pastiches emerged from Maryland north to Rhode Island in the hours after Sandy’s howling winds and tidal surges shoved water over seaside barriers, into low-lying streets and up from coastal

storm drains.

Images from around the storm-affected areas depicted scenes reminiscent of big-budget disaster movies. In Atlantic City, N.J., a gaping hole remained where once a stretch of boardwalk sat by the sea. In Queens, N.Y., rubble from a fire that destroyed as many as 100 houses in an evacuated beachfront neighborhood jutted into the air at ugly angles against a gray sky. In heavily flooded Hoboken, N.J., across the Hudson River from Manhattan, dozens of yellow cabs sat parked in rows, submerged in murky water to their windshields.

At the ground zero construction site in lower Manhattan, sea water rushed into a gaping hole under harsh floodlights.

One of the most dramatic tales came from lower Manhattan, where a failed backup generator forced New York University’s Tisch Hospital to relocate more than 200 patients, including 20 babies from neonatal intensive care. Dozens of ambulances lined up in the rainy night and the tiny patients were gingerly moved out, some attached to battery-powered respirators as gusts of wind blew their blankets.

In Moonachie, N.J., 10 miles north of Manhattan, water rose to 5 feet within 45 minutes and trapped residents who thought the worst of the storm had passed. Mobile-home park resident Juan Allen said water overflowed a 2-foot wall along a nearby creek, filling the area with 2 to 3 feet of water within 15 minutes. “I saw trees not just knocked down but ripped right out of the ground,” he said. “I watched a tree crush a guy’s house like a wet sponge.”

In a measure of its massive size, waves on southern Lake Michigan rose to a record-tying 20.3 feet. High winds spinning off Sandy’s edges clobbered the Cleveland area early Tuesday, uprooting trees, closing schools and flooding major roads along Lake Erie.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Superstorm Sandy will end up causing about $20 billion in property damages and $10 billion to $30 billion more in lost business, according to IHS Global Insight, a forecasting firm.

In the long run, the devastation the storm inflicted on New York City and other parts of the Northeast will barely nick the U.S. economy. That’s the view of economists who say a slightly slower economy in coming weeks will likely be matched by reconstruction and repairs that will contribute to growth over time.

The short-term blow to the economy, though, could subtract about 0.6 percentage point from U.S. economic growth in the October-December quarter, IHS says. Retailers, airlines and home construction firms will likely lose some business.

The storm cut power to about 7 million homes, shut down 70 percent of East Coast oil refineries and inflicted worse-than-expected damage in the New York metro area.

That area produces about 10 percent of U.S. economic output.

New York City was all but closed off by car, train and air.

The superstorm overflowed the city’s waterfront, flooded the financial district and subway tunnels and cut power to hundreds of thousands. Power is expected to be fully restored in Manhattan and Brooklyn within four days.

Most homeowners who suffered losses from flooding won’t be able to benefit from their insurance policies. Standard homeowner policies don’t cover flood damage, and few homeowners have flood insurance.

But Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac said they will offer help to borrowers whose homes were damaged or destroyed, who live in designated disaster areas and whose loans the mortgage giants own or guarantee. Among other options, mortgage servicers will be allowed to reduce the monthly payments of affected homeowners or require no payments from them temporarily.

Activists In Sudan blast, signs of report 23 Iran and Israel’s rivalry dead

BY MAGGIE FICK Associated Press

BEIRUT (AP) — Airstrikes

by Syrian jets and shells from tanks leveled a neighborhood in a restive city near the capital of Damascus on Tuesday, killing 18 people, and at least five rebel fighters died nearby in clashes with regime troops, activists said.

The airstrikes on the city of Douma, northeast of the capital, left residents scampering over a huge expanse of rubble and using their hands to dig up mangled bodies, according to activist videos posted online.

Scenes of vast destruction like those from Douma on Tuesday have grown more common as rebels seeking to topple President Bashar Assad have made gains on the ground, and Assad’s forces have responded with overwhelming air power.

In the past weeks, antiregime activists say about 150 people have been killed a day in fighting. Since the uprising against Assad began in March 2011, they say 35,000 have died.

Tuesday’s airstrikes came a day after what activists called the heaviest and most widespread bombing campaign nationwide, on what was to be the final day of an internationally sanctioned truce that never took hold.

CAIRO (AP) — A suspected Israeli airstrike against a weapons factory in Khartoum last week points to a possible escalation in a hidden front of the rivalry between Israel and Iran: The arms pipeline through Sudan to Islamic militants on Israel’s borders.

Mystery still surrounds the blast, which killed four people. But analysts say the incident could indicate Iran is trying to send more advanced weapons via Sudan to Hamas in the Gaza Strip or Hezbollah in Lebanon — and that Israel has become more determined to stop it at a time of increased tensions over Iran’s nuclear program.

Consensus has built among Israeli and Arab military analysts that the explosion just after midnight last Wednesday at the Yarmouk factory was indeed an Israeli airstrike as Sudan has claimed. Israel says it neither confirms nor denies being behind it. Sudan, in turn, denied on Monday that Iran had any connection to the factory’s production.

In a show of support for the two countries’ alliance, two Iranian warships — a helicopter carrier and destroyer that had been conducting anti-piracy patrols off East

Africa’s coast — docked this week at Sudan’s main Red Sea port. The Iranian commanders were holding talks with Sudanese officers as part of the countries’ “exchange of amicable relations,” Sudan’s military spokesman said.

Sudan’s Foreign Ministry dismissed allegations of an Iranian connection to the Yarmouk facility, saying “Iran does not need to manufacture weapons in Sudan, be it for itself or for its allies.”

Experts say that Sudan’s value to Iran is not in its modest weapons production capabilities, but in its vast desert expanses that provide cover for weapons convoys bound for Gaza through Egypt’s lawless Sinai Peninsula. Israel has long contended that Iran uses the route to supply Hamas. It appears to have struck the supply line at least once before, when a convoy in a remote part of Sudan was blasted by explosions in 2009 — though Israel never admitted to the attack.

The question now is: What would prompt Israel to conduct a bolder strike hitting a Sudanese government facility in the heart of the capital Khartoum?

The target may have been 40 shipping containers that satellite images show were stacked in the factory com-

pound days before the explosion. Post-explosion imagery released Saturday by the Satellite Sentinel Project, a U.S. monitoring group, show six 52-foot-wide craters all centered at the spot where the containers had been, the blast’s epicenter.

The group said the craters were consistent with an airstrike and that whatever it hit was a “highly volatile cargo,” causing a powerful explosion that destroyed at least two structures in the compound and sent ordnance flying into nearby neighborhoods.

What was in the containers remains unknown — leaving observers to speculate.

Retired Israeli Brigadier General Shlomo Brom, a military expert, said there is a “strong possibility” that Israel had identified an “imminent threat” within the factory.

Brom, a research associate at the Institute for National Security Studies at Tel Aviv University, said the containers could have been part of Iran’s efforts to smuggle “a new category of weapons” to Gaza. The weapons could be “something with air defense capability … or could very well belong to the category of rockets and missiles, but just larger, stronger, and longer range,” he said.

‘Jekyll and Hyde’ on Edison stage SCBDD board meets During their October meeting, members of the Shelby County Board of Developmental Disabilities (SCBDD) approved the creation of a new staff position, a coordinator of provider services.

The cost of the position will be shared by the Champaign County board.

In other action, Superintendent Laura Zeurich reported the following: • Shelby Hills Early Childhood Center has a total of 314 children attending preschool at the Sidney, Fort Loramie, Jackson Center, and Hardin Houston sites.

• State licensure requires all preschoolers to have a dental examination as part of the requirefor school ments enrollment. To aid parents in acquiring this service for their children, the Mobile Dentist/Smiles Program provided dental services for 25 children on Oct. 12 •Early intervention staff are currently participating in the Local Government Innovation Fund process with Champaign County early intervention staff attending meetings with TechSolve. Information will be compiled from scheduled meetings and recommendations will be made to streamline processes in both counties.

• Service and support

administration reported that five individuals are now being served through Tele-medicine equipment.

CAM Tele-Medicine is a program through Wright State University that specializes in assisting individuals with developmental disabilities who have mental health diagnoses to receive psychiatric care from a physician via a secured internet site with video and sound. Two individuals are participating in a study sponsored by the Ohio Department of Developmental Disabilities to determine the benefits of individuals living in rural counties’ having access to specialists through the tele-medicine program.

• Through Residential Services & Supports, Inc. (RSSI), our nonprofit housing corporation, SCBDD received a grant from the Ohio Department of Developmental Disabilities for the purchase of a home for individuals with disabilities. A certificate of occupancy for the home on Foraker Avenue has been received.

A move-in date will soon be scheduled.

• As of Sept. 30, the program had expended 70 percent of the annual budget and had received 80 percent of projected revenue for calendar year 2012.

Agape Distribution director gives update Agape Distribution Director the Rev. John Geissler recently reported that the organization continues to serve Shelby County’s hungry.

“I’m excited about Agape and the service we have been able to offer Shelby County this year,” he said. “The newspaper and the Feinstein matching grant was a real help this year. This, along with a reduction in expenses — an internal rearrangement — is keeping us ahead of last year and in the black.”

Geissler said that income is running 5.4 percent behind 2011 but that expenses have been reduced by 19 percent.

“The main savings is through our national sourcing of donated groceries,” he said.

In the first three quarters of 2012, Agape provided 12,977 grocery orders, served 3,088 individual families and registered 731 new families.

That is an 8 percent increase over the same period in 2011, according to Geissler.

“Shelby County neigh-

bors received 1,036,575 pounds of groceries,” he added. “That’s 39 tractor trailer loads.”

He noted that nationally, food sources are constricting and becoming more scarce as foreign nations shop the USA. “Locally, the increase in new families are those aging out of unemployment and the newly underemployed.

Many unemployed are now working but at minimum-wage jobs. Our goal is to ‘Make it hard to go hungry in Shelby County!’ Shelby County grows the best crop of people in the country. We can do what others can’t.

That’s why Agape continues,” he said.

PIQUA — The Edison Stagelight Players will add some new twists and turns to the classic tale, “The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde,” in the Robinson Theater on the Piqua campus Thursday at 9:30 a.m. and Friday through Sunday at 7:30 p.m.

The revised production, based on Jeffrey Hatcher’s 2008 play from famous Scottish author Robert Louis Stevenson’s novel, tells the story of Dr. Henry Jekyll, who experiments with “exotic powders and tinctures” that bring forth his other self, Edward Hyde, a sensualist and villain free to commit the sins Jekyll is too

civilized to comprehend.

When Hyde meets a woman who stirs his interests, Jekyll fears for her life and decides to end his experiments.

Hyde has other ideas, and the two sides battle each other in a deadly game of cat-and-mouse to determine who shall be the master and who his slave.

The production, directed by Edison faculty member William Loudermilk, follows past performances of “Sherlock Holmes and the Case of the Jersey Lily” in 2011 and “Dracula” in 2010.

Tickets are $7 for adults, $5 for students and $3 for seniors and are available at the door.

LETTERS

TO THE EDITOR

Fight for our freedoms To the editor: The selection of justices for the Supreme Court of Ohio is a very important decision. I believe that Sharon Kennedy, Bob Cupp and Terrence O’Donnell are the best candidates because they believe in interpreting the Constitution rather than “legislating from the bench.”

Another important race is that of our District One State School Board representative. I believe Stanley Jackson is the best candidate because he believes that parents rather than the government should be making educational decisions.

We do not need a state constitutional convention along with all the expenses that would entail. Nor do we need a “committee” of nonelected bureaucrats deciding how to redistrict the state. Voting “no” on Issues 1 and 2 will avoid those problems.

Protecting our religious freedom is a priority for me. Josh Mandel, Jim Jordan and the team of Romney/Ryan oppose the Obamacare mandate which forces individuals, groups, and businesses to provide coverage in conflict with their consciences. We need Mandel, Jordan, and Romney/Ryan to begin the battle to restore our constitutional and religious freedoms. We need elected officials at all levels of government who are willing to fight for those freedoms. It is up to us to elect such candidates.

Mary C. Schmiesing 9700 Sidney-Freyburg Road

Protect Constitution To the editor: I believe in the Constitution of the United States of America. This document contains the freedoms and rights we all have as Americans.

Years ago I taught students in both junior high and high school about this amazing document and just what it contains. The first 10 amendments called the the Bill of Rights lists our freedoms and rights that were written to protect us from government. These rights were so important that they had to be added to the original Constitution before the states would accept this new powerful government they were creating.

Over many years I have seen efforts by some politicians to take away some of these rights. In particular, the First Amendment containing freedom of religion for all Americans and the Second Amendment’s right to hold and bear arms are both under attack.

So, for me, if a politician wants my vote, he/she better be a protector of our Constitution. For that reason, I’ll cast my vote for both Mitt Romney and Josh Mandel.

I am writing this letter to encourage you to know what each candidate stands for and then exercise your privilege to vote in this next election.

Jim O’Leary 324 E. Ruth St.

Rethink priorities To the editor: The atheists are winning the battle for the souls of the Western World. The latest example is happening in France. The ruling body wants to eliminate the two words — mother and father from the French language. The citizens of this country had better wake up if we want our children and grandchildren to be able to enjoy a life similar to ours. It is hypocritical to say one is a Catholic or Christian and then vote for evil. Too many of our politicians wear their religion on their sleeves. Please pray for them. If you think having godless people in office is OK, then you should rethink your priorities.

Julius N. Bender 534 E Fourth St. Minster

Vote for Bornhorst To the editor: The purpose of this letter is to endorse Tony Bornhorst in his bid to become a Shelby County Commissioner. While we consider both Tony and Mr. Yost to be high-quality candidates; we definitely believe that Tony offers the most of the best. He is a lifelong county resident and a partner in a progressive farming operation.

This background should be of great value in regard to budget and funding issues. Tony is a prolife candidate who has proven his leadership ability in both agricultural and community organizations.

Once again we urge your support of Tony Bornhorst on Nov. 6.

TO THE EDITOR

Headed to calamity

Are you better off?

To the editor: “I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just, that His justice cannot sleep forever.”

— Thomas Jefferson I am concerned that our country is headed on the fast track to calamity. With soaring debt and unemployment, rising gas and food prices, we are headed for a disaster. I have lived for over half a century, and I believe that this election is the most important in recent history. We need a real change, one that will bring the hope back to this country.

I have heard some say that they are afraid of Mitt Romney and what he will do to the country.

Why, I might ask, are they not afraid of a man who has lied repeatedly to the American people, and who told the Russian Prime Minister, “I will have more flexibility after this election.”!?

President Obama has apologized for the American people when the occasion called for no such thing and has refused to support Israel as our most important ally. Mr. Obama has also supported legislation and law that would disarm the American people and ban certain guns and types of ammo. I know the Second Amendment is important to many in this area and it is very important to the defense of America. What country would want to attack us if we have a well-armed military and a well-armed citizenry? You should be afraid of a man who holds no regard for the innocent and will support the murder of thousands every day.

Why would you be afraid of Mitt Romney or Paul Ryan, when they are now known to be some of the most generous people we have seen in a presidential campaign in many years? Mitt Romney anonymously donated thousands of pints of milk a week to a hospital in Massachusetts for sick vets for 2 years. This is a man of principle and values who cares for all, not just those who benefit him.

I have been involved in this election more than ever before. I haven’t felt the need before to be involved in politics; I was complacent. Now that danger in imminent, I need to protect the future of my children and grandchildren. Their futures are on the line and their country is in despair.

Please join me in the fight for liberty and freedom. Vote for Mitt Romney for president. Vote for Josh Mandel for Senate.

Sanna Hill-Aikin 4749 Dormire Road

To the editor: I am a small-business owner, and I travel often, so I have the opportunity to hear many opinions. Some people who endorse President Obama, and who despise Mitt Romney, seem to base their opinions on feelings and emotions.

When asked what Obama has done to better the country, they cannot seem to find an answer based on facts. It is the same when asked about their opinion of Mitt Romney.

I would like to ask those who are undecided, and those who like Obama because of the feelings they get, to consider the facts. Consider this question, “Are you better off now than you were four years ago?” In general, has much gotten better?

The price of almost everything has increased, while the income of middle class people has decreased. More people are on food stamps, which means they cannot afford basic items on their own.

When it comes to foreign relations, our relationships are becoming tenser. As an example, American embassies across the world have been attacked, or demonstrations have been held there.

It seems to me that the people of the world are not seeing the United States in a good light. Over and over again, Obama’s policies have hurt America and her families.

When you vote this November, remember the question, “Are you better off now than you were four years ago?”

David Aikin 4749 Dormire Road

Watch ‘Silent Scream’ To the editor: I feel compelled to write about an issue that is very important to me. I just ask that you take the time to read this with an open mind, whether or not you agree.

Anyone who knows me well knows that I love all animals, and that my dogs are spoiled, to say the least. It is sickening and heartbreaking to see the commercials on TV of animal abuse and cruelty. It’s too sad to watch.

So, I ask you, how many of you would vote for a presidential candidate who would support this behavior and vote to make it legal? No one I know would. And yet millions of Americans have no issue with voting for a candidate who not only condones, but celebrates the mutilation and murder of innocent babies through abortion, every day. In fact, President Obama went so far as to vote against allowing doctors to give life-sustaining nourishment and care to babies who actually survived an abortion and are born alive! These babies are put in a closet and left to die. These are facts!

It has been scientifically proven that these babies feel pain as they are burned to death by saline, or torn limb from limb by suction, or most horrific of all, by partial birth abortion, in which they are pulled from the womb feet first, stabbed at the base of their necks with scissors, and have their brains sucked out. These are facts!

You can watch the film, “The Silent Scream.”

This film depicts an ultra-sound of an abortion on a 12-week-old baby. It is indisputable that this baby is being tortured to death. The doctor who performed the abortion, after having viewed the film in the editing room, never performed another abortion. You can find this film online.

Just because this horror is hidden in the mother's womb, and no TV station is going to air the film, does not give us the right to go on with life as if it doesn't exist. These are human lives from the moment of conception.

It is our duty, as Christians, to defend the defenseless. Are the economic policies of one candidate over another really more important to people?

What good would these issues do us if we hadn’t been given the gift of life ourselves?

All I ask is that you give this serious thought. If you feel detached from the issue of abortion, search and watch “The Silent Scream.” Make a truly informed decision on this issue.

Patti Lawson 1141 Stephans Road

Know party differences To the editor: Two diametrically opposed political philosophies are vying to control our country not only for the next four years but for years to come. It is important that we voters understand the differences in these two ideas and the men who promote them.

The greatest difference between the two parties is their basic view of the purpose of government.

The Republican Party believes in limited government. The Democrat Party believes in ever-increasing governmental control. The Republican Party believes that the citizens of this country are capable of solving their problems. The Democrat Party believes that only elite government officials are capable of solving this nation’s problems. The Republican Party wants to decrease taxes and balance the budget. The Democrat Party has not submitted a budget for nearly four years, even when they had complete majority rule. The Republican-controlled House of Representatives have passed balanced budgets; the Democratic leadership in the Senate has not allowed them to come up for a vote.

In a sense, we know what we can expect from each of the presidential candidates. Barack Obama has shown us his chosen course of action over these last 3 3/4 years. Under his administration, we have seen extended high unemployment, increasing national debt, taxpayer dollars spent on green-energy companies that go bankrupt, passage of a national health-care plan that has never been supported by a majority of the citizens, and disregard for the Constitution of the United States and the law of the land.

He has misled, to put the best face on it, the people of this nation in regard to the attack on our embassy in Benghazi, Libya.

Mitt Romney is an experienced businessman and politician. He was able to accomplish his goals while governor of Massachusetts by working with an 87 percent Democrat Legislature. His generosity and compassion have been well-kept secrets because they are simply a part of who he is — his life is lived through the lens of his deep religious convictions.

Government can only acquire money by taxing citizens or borrowing from other countries. If a government service is said to be free, be sure that it is costing your fellow taxpayers.

Barack Obama promises that the government will take care of you. Mitt Romney promises to create jobs that will allow you to take care of yourself.

Nadine Bryan 480 E. Mason Road

Vote for Jacobs

To the editor: We the citizens of the state of Ohio need to vote for a person that will keep public schools strong and focus on local leadership. Ann E. Jacobs is that person.

I have had the pleasure to serve with Mrs. Jacobs on the Apollo Career Center School Board.

Ann is dedicated to keeping public schools under local control and not charter schools that is being pushed by the current administration.

Ann is a lifelong member of this community, past member of the Shawnee Local School Board, Apollo C.C. School Board and will fight to keep our schools controlled by local election and not from the state sponsor charter schools.

To the editor: Ann's opponent was appointed to the state Obama supports abortion at any stage of pregschool board by the governor. He will not work for nancy and signed a bill providing taxpayer funding of abortion. He voted against providing critical the best interest of the people, but for the govermedical care to infants born alive during an abor- nor. Please on Election Day, vote for Ann E. Jacobs for state school board. tion. Obama’s mandate is a flagrant assault on Rob McPheron religious freedom.

NYSE to reopen Wed. NEW YORK (AP) — The New York Stock Exchange will reopen for regular trading Wednesday after being shut down for two days because of Hurricane Sandy.

The exchange said in a statement Tuesday that its building and trading floor are fully operational and that normal trading will resume at the usual starting time of 9:30 a.m.

There had been erroneous reports Monday that the exchange floor had flooded. Exchange spokesman Ray Pellecchia said the exchange’s building did not have any flooding or damage.

Tuesday marks the first time since 1888 that the NYSE remained closed for two consecutive days because of

weather. The earlier shutdown was caused by a massive snow storm.

Sections of Manhattan were inundated with water Tuesday and power was shut off to millions of people and businesses up and down the East Coast.

European stock markets rose broadly Tuesday after falling the day before. Trading was subdued in the wake of the storm. Britain’s FTSE 100 index rose 0.9 percent, Germany’s DAX rose 1.1 percent and the CAC-40 in France was 1.5 percent higher.

Crude oil rose 14 cents to settle at $85.68 in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange.

Pioneers come to Shelby County in 2012

BY LYNDA ADAMS Education Coordinator Shelby Soil & Water Conservation District

The real estate transfers listed below have been recorded at the office of Shelby County Recorder Jodi L. Siegel.

Transfers listed also include tax-exempt property transfers in which no dollar amount is listed. Shelby County Auditor Denny York said the exemptions normally involve transactions within a family and therefore no public record of the dollar amount is recorded.

Sidney Jeffrey L. and Karen I. Moore to Federal National Mortgage Association, Plum Ridge Development Phase I, lot 5114, $135,000.

Gregory C. and Jamie L. Albers to James A. and Mary K. Harter, A.R. Friendmanns Subdivision, part lot 1492, $58,000.

Anna M. Wyer, deceased, to Dennis G. Wyer, Charla Heights Subdivision, lot 3706, exempt.

TYLER PRIEST, 9, of Botkins, squeezes juice out of apples the old-fashioned way as James Clark, of Sidney, supervises during Pioneer Day at the Shelby County Fairgrounds Wednesday. Tyler is the son of Jamie Kittle and Shawn Priest. and the United States.

The desired outcome is for students to understand how ideas and events from the past have shaped Ohio and the United States today.

Believing the best way for students both to learn and retain these lessons would be through hands-on experiences, the Pioneer Day committee (Julie Gilardi, Joyce Wells, Jane Jones, Jeanne Schlagetter, Faye Spangler, Cheryl Michael, Linda DeVelvis, Doug Benson, Virginia McClain, Heather Wuebker, Sharon Mohrbacher, Tilda and Lynda Phlipot Adams), along with sponsoring agencies (Shelby County Historical Society and Shelby Soil and Water Conservation District), developed an all-day event to meet the Ohio Academic Content standards for “Ohio in the United States� for grade four social studies.

Students attended eight 25-minute sessions. Session topics were as follows: 1.Transportation — information about

canals and other pioneer transportation.

2. Pioneer Schools — a typical day in a oneroom school.

3. Native Americans — general knowledge including things like artifacts, music or beading.

4. Family Life — quilting.

5. Pioneer Industries tin smithing/tin — punching.

6. Pioneer Industries — making Indian darts and experiencing early agricultural tools.

7. Agriculture/Food Processing — making butter and either apple sauce, apple cider or apple butter.

8. Wetlands — activities and information about the importance of wetlands in the past and present and how those landforms have been altered by humans.

There were approximately 35 presenters and an additional 135 volunteers involved in making Pioneer Day 2012 a huge success.

From set up to tear down and everything in between, the volunteers were absolutely amazing.

Tilda and I were talking after the event about the wonder and amazement of having so many people from the community pull together to make this “over the top� educational opportunity happen for our children.

One fourth-grade student was overheard remarking, “This is the best school day ever!�

Could it be? Pioneer men and women were recently sighted converging upon the Shelby County fairgrounds.

However, something seemed a little peculiar.

Instead of arriving by horseback or on foot or even by river boat, they arrived via big yellow school buses.

Yes, for a day, the Shelby County Fairgrounds was transformed into the Northwest Territory, a portion of which later became Ohio. Eight hunfourth-grade dred students (yes, 800) from city, county, parochial and home school settings were immersed in pioneer life as they participated in eight hands-on stations.

The Ohio Department of Education’s Academic Content Standards require fourth-grade students to focus on the early development of Ohio and the United States. Students are to learn about the history, geography, government and economy of their state and nation. The goal is that foundations of U.S. history will be laid for students to study prehistoric Ohio cultures, early American life, the U.S. Constitution and the development and growth of Ohio

THE FUTURE OF AMERICA DEPENDS ON THIS ELECTION Before you cast your vote, this time, regardless of your color, race, or political party, put your primary interest over your party affiliation. Our great nation’s survival is on attack! The freedom for your children, grandchildren and future generations depends on your vote. The world looks to America as the last hope for freedom from oppression, slavery and the totalitarian system.

Just over two hundred years ago a small group of Christian people risked their lives to find religious freedom in this country we call America! America was built upon three major cornerstones; individual freedom, economic freedom, and religious freedom. The question is how do you want your life to be? Free and independent from the government or do you want to be dependent on the government? Do you want to be controlled and have your life dictated by the government?

When you believe that a perpetual lifestyle of living on government hand outs is good for you and others, you have been deceived into giving up your freedom and have become a contributor in taking the country one more step closer to socialism. This only gives government more power over your life!

We have no more protection of the Constitution of the United States. The Constitution has become a “door mat� serving the only purpose to scrub your feet in it! Until I was 38 years old, I lived under that type of government, I can tell you first hand, it is not good!

What has happened to your healthcare? The government will eventually eliminate all insurance companies, and your freedom to choose your carrier. There will be no more competition among insurance companies. The government will implement one healthcare system and will control your healthcare by dictating to your doctor what care you can and cannot receive. Do not let the government come between the doctor/patient relationships for treatment after a diagnosis . . . this kind of control allows the government to decide who is going to live and who is going to die! For example, if you are over 65 years of age, you will not be eligible for triple by pass surgery or a heart transplant because of the cost. This is how the government will cut/control benefits for the elderly; they will eliminate healthcare procedures at a certain age, resulting in American’s dying earlier. This will ultimately result in fewer seniors receiving Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid . . . what a master plan; kill the people off to reduce the cost of those programs. Right now, our country has the best healthcare in the world; do you want to jeopardize it?

I am a living example of our country’s great healthcare system. At age 75 I had a triple by pass and I survived colon cancer, by undergoing a lifesaving surgery and follow up treatment. At age 92, I am here, still living independently! Under the President’s healthcare system, I would have never survived all these years. I thank God for our current healthcare system and freedom of choice in this country. Right now, regardless of whether you have any insurance or not, the laws provide that no hospital can turn you away. You will receive the care you need.

During this election, your vote is not only for yourself, but also for your children and grandchildren. Select the candidate who can lead this great nation out of this economic and political chaos!

There is a distinct difference between the democratic and republican leaders. The democrats want the people to be dependent on government . . . which ultimately takes power and choice from the people and gives the government power over the people. It also creates class wars, which simply divides us as citizens of this great nation. The republicans want the people to be independent and have the power to take control of their own lives, allowing people to use their talents and hard work to become successful! The republicans view government as a facilitator in helping people become independent; rather than the source of their survival through hand outs and benefits, which is simply put, socialism. Socialism is like a form of slavery.

During the last 4 years we have seen the President’s leadership, our economic system has crumbled; millions of people are on unemployment; and the world is in turmoil with nation against nation. Recently, our ambassador and 3 other Americans were killed in Egypt by terrorists. What did our President do? He spent his time on fund raising trips for the upcoming election! Actions speak louder than words and his actions during this tragedy very clearly tell the American people what kind of leader he is and where his interests lye.

We need a President who will create jobs and enable us to be independent so that we can feed our children, pay our mortgage, and implement a plan to reduce our national debt. Let us also not forget about our national security and building and maintaining a strong military. As the strongest nation, we not only ensure peace here at home, but also globally. Reducing our country’s military makes us weak as a nation and opens the door to terrorist and unrest here in the U.S. and globally!

Our country is currently spending billions of dollars to our enemies for oil; who in turn are building bombs, which will give them the power to destroy us. Our President is spending billions of dollars on green energies instead of appropriating those funds toward oil development here at home. A President who will makes us independent on our own oil resources, will creat jobs here at home and end the U.S. contributing to our enemy’s strength over us and our allies!

It’s time to wake up as a nation and see the big picture. I pray to God to look down upon this great nation and protect us from foreign and domestic enemies and to open the minds of the U.S. citizens to vote for the candidate who will lead us back to the principals this great country was founded upon.

DR. WALLACE: I am a firm believer that “Thin is in.” No, I don’t have an eating disorder, but I do count calories and keep my weight at an even 112 pounds. I’m 5 feet 6 inches tall, and everybody raves about my shape.

If things go my way, I’d like to do a little modeling. I read in an article in a magazine that females should have no more than 10 percent body fat.

I try to maintain this percentage.

Our health teacher said that 10 percent is dangerously low and that 20 percent is ideal.

Please tell me that my health teacher is incorrect. To add 10 percent more fat would ruin my shape. What gives? I’m 16 years old. —Abby, Walton Beach, Fla. ABBY: I’m sorry to inform you that your teacher is correct. According to a Mayo Clinic newsletter, the ideal body fat for females is 22 percent.

budget.” The budget was set at $352,000, but he said that will be reduced a little since he will have offices in the annex and his phone lines and other equipment will be covered.

As of now, the projected budget for his office will be approximately $340,000.

There are about 1,500 cases at Sidney Municipal Court needing a public defender, Luring said, so he will be busy. But he is looking forward to it.

“I’m honored that they picked me. ... This team that we’ve put together has a lot of criminal law experience.”

Luring, who currently practices law in Troy in the areas of bankruptcy, family law, personal injury, criminal and estate law, is a 1968 graduate of Miami University and graduated in 1975 from the University of Cincinnati College of Law. Luring was admitted to the Ohio Bar in 1975 and also has bar admissions with the U.S. District Court, Southern District of Ohio; U.S. Court of Federal Claims; and the U.S. Tax Court.

Luring served in the U.S. Army from 1968 to 1971 with A Company ISB, Fort Benning, Ga., as an executive officer. He was a distinguished military graduate of the Officer Candidate School at Fort Belvoir, Va., and an honor graduate of the Military Intelligence School, Fort Holibird, Md. In addition, Luring was a USAEC-V in Vietnam, serving as a staff officer and served as a 219 MID in Vietnam as an executive officer.

In addition to his professional and military accomplishments, Luring has served as the Miami County Bar Association president, is an Ohio State and Miami County Bar Association member and as a member of the American Bankruptcy Law Forum member.

Luring is active in the Troy community with Troy Little League Baseball; as a member of Riverside School Board; St. Patrick School Board, serving as president in 1990; Troy Hayner Cultural Board, serving as president in 1999; and has served on the Troy United Fund as division chairman. He has served on the Custody Review Board of the Miami County Juvenile Court.

‘PINK’

on Oct. 4, 2007. The procedure was performed at Wilson Memorial Hospital in Sidney.

Then for almost a year Heilers underwent chemotherapy and radiation, finishing her last radiation treatment on July 3, 2008.

“This thing with (the) Hardin staff goes back five years; every time there was a treatment, there was a gift,” recalled Heilers, who also serves as the treasurer of the Shelby County Agricultural Society (Fair Board).

The staff at the school kept a basket they would fill with little gifts each week to show their support. Heilers’ neighbors in Houston also started a support group to encourage her.

‘Flowers or food’ “Every time I had a treatment I would get flowers or food,” she said.

Hardin-Houston Elementary art teacher Krystal Swiger, who has been on staff for seven years, recalled how determined her co-worker was during those difficult days.

“She was a trooper. She was really sick,” said Swiger. “I specifically remember she had a wig, and at one point, she (Heilers) sent out an email saying, ‘I’m going to go bald.’ I mean unless she was puking and couldn’t move, she was at school.”

As for Heilers, she diligently tried to keep her life as normal as she possibly could.

“That’s what you fight for. I remember telling my husband I didn’t want the cancer to define me,” she said.

Really rough Heilers has been married for 37 years to Ron Heilers and they have three adult children. Despite her attempt at normality, she admitted the first four treatments were really rough and that ongoing “tiredness was the worst part.”

It wasn’t until she lost her hair that she finally cried.

“I think that was the only time it was pretty emotional for me,” she said.

Friends made scarves for her, and she bought a wig, but “I hated it.” It was “itchy” and uncomfortable, and after several

months she decided to go without it.

After awhile, Heilers had a new struggle — the guilt of surviving.

“There are people who didn’t survive and you have to be careful you don’t allow yourself to be guilty for surviving. So, you appreciate every day,” she said.

Today, Heilers’ thick golden blond hair once again frame’s her healthy-looking face. Her five-year marker of surviving breast cancer greatly lowers the risk factor of a reoccurrence.

Celebrate In light of this, on Oct. 4 of this year, Heilers wanted to celebrate the fifth anniversary of her lumpectomy surgery simply with a cake. She placed an order with Swiger, who is noted for making specialty cakes, never realizing Swiger would enlist school colleagues in planning a surprise celebration.

With the assistance of Peggy Roeth, elementary technology, Swiger sent an email to district staff asking them to surprise Heilers with a “Think Pink Day” by wearing pink, decorating the workroom and bringing snacks. Swiger also crea pastel-pinkated sequined sweatshirt for Heilers bearing the words, “I will not lay down and die. I will survive.”

“I was talking to my high school helpers about it (and) they decided as a group to spread it around,” said Swiger.

“She’s (Heilers) been in our district so long; they decided on their own, we want to be a part of this.”

ria at lunchtime. She was greeted by a sea of pink created by the students’ clothing. Then they spontaneously erupted into a standing ovation on her behalf. When asked how all this made her feel, the humble Heilers responded, “I don’t think you can describe it, because I don’t feel worthy of it.”

The secretary has kept every card and created a scrapbook of mementos of her five-year journey. She is grateful not only for her school’s support, but for kindnesses from neighbors, her church and many others.

“No matter how small a thing you do for somebody, the fact you took the time ... means the world,” she said.

dents remember the early days of her battle with breast cancer and rallied around the celebration.

On Oct. 4 Heilers arrived at her job as usual. When she walked in the door that morning and saw high school Principal Ryan Maier wearing a pink tie, she started to wonder what was up. Before long, she realized that the entire HardinHouston Local School had gone pink in her honor.

Besides the staff, “at least 600 students either wore pink or came in and put the pink ribbon (on their) cheek or on their arm,” said Krystal Swiger.

attorney was not chosen for the job, noting, “the commission feels that they selected the most qualified candidate.” He did not want to name the other finalists for the job.

“There were many people who sent resumes who were not selected," Faulkner said. “We interviewed five and we selected one.”

Faulkner said the commission looked for experience in choosing a new public defender and noted that managerial experience was important. In addition to Faulkner, others on the commission include Doug Stewart of People’s Federal Bank; Andy Counts, US Bank; Ed Seger, Turtle Creek Township trustee and owner of Farm Repair Service; and Priscilla Hax, a local attorney in private practice.

Luring told the Sidney Daily News that he anticipates his first day on the job will be Nov. 12.

“I’m honored and looking forward to it,” he said, adding that it is the “start ... of a new organization.”

His office will be located in the Shelby County Annex in the basement.

Current Public Defender Tim Sell will become the Shelby County prosecutor after the election next week, having won in the primary over current Prosecutor Ralph Bauer. There is no Democrat candidate.

“In order to minimize conflict, Mr. Sell and his (public defender) people are going to complete as many cases as they can” before Nov. 12, Luring said.

Luring said Sell’s current office at 108 E. Poplar St. will be the new location of the Shelby County Prosecutor’s Office and Sell will also have a small office in the Shelby County Courthouse. Luring said all of Sell’s current public defender staff will be taking over as assistant prosecutors.

Luring thanked Faulkner, the Shelby County Commissioners and the Shelby County Engineer’s Office for their help in the transition. He said they have all been helpful. He said the Engineer’s Office has been working on transitioning the public defender’s phone system to the Shelby County Annex.

Joining Luring on the Shelby County Public Defender staff will be Andrew Benters and Jason Farley, Troy attorneys; Jonathan Richards, a Sidney attorney; and Rachel Stir, who is currently employed in the Shelby County Prosecutor’s Office. All of the employees will also continue to work in their current positions.

Luring said he has met “a couple of times” with Shelby County judges and said he is aware this is a “special situation” and stated his staff and Sell are “very sensitive to conflicts” with the change to a new office and staff; however, he said, he is “looking forward to it. It’s a big budget.”

Although Luring said the Public Defender’s Office is typically the “last on the line” for funding, he said his office has been given “a very good

Another device is an implant that pumps saline into the penis. You activate the pump by squeezing it. It’s implanted in the scrotum.

He purchased the building, which is believed to have been built in 1850, from Robert Harshbarger of Swanders. The log house was torn down and moved to a beautiful spot overlooking a pond on Richards’ property. Exterior work is basically complete and the interior portion of the project is scheduled to be complete in another year or so.

Put Miller in the Heisman race

BY JIM NAVEAU Civitas Media jnaveau@limanews.com COLUMBUS — Maybe because it’s the season for endorsements, Ohio State football coach Urban Meyer made a pair of them at his weekly press conference on Monday.

For the first time, he said he believes OSU quarterback Braxton Miller should be regarded as a candidate for the Heisman Trophy.

And after nine straight wins to start his first season as the Buckeyes’ coach, he described this year’s team as a special team.

“This is a special team.

They're fighting for each other. It's a refuse-to-lose type atmosphere,” he said on Monday. “Some of us have seen teams that play really well, and they're blowing teams out all the time. We're not that type of team and I can give you 150 reasons why.

“However, we are a bunch of guys that work really hard, have a blue-collar approach, that show up every (week) and want to get better. You don't want anything else as a coach,” he said.

Until now, Meyer had stopped short of calling Miller a Heisman Trophy candidate. He says he won’t campaign for his sophomore quarterback but thinks he deserves to be in the race.

“Do I believe he’s a Heisman candidate? I do,” Miller said. “I didn’t say that before, but I do believe Braxton is a Heisman candidate. He has to play much better but just from the sheer production of a team that’s 9-0, it puts him in that category, and that’s without knowing the other candidates.”

Miller has passed for 1,527 yards and 12 touchdowns and

Band plays before an NCAA college football game against Ohio State won 35-23. rushed for 1,063 yards. He has gained more than 100 yards on the ground in six of OSU’s first nine games.

No. 6 Ohio State (9-0, 5-0 Big Ten) plays Illinois (2-6, 04 Big Ten) on Saturday.

The Buckeyes are a heavy favorite, but that hasn’t always been a guarantee of an easy afternoon at the stadium this season.

Road wins at Penn State and Michigan State, an improbable comeback to beat Purdue, and coming from behind in the fourth quarter for

a win against California are some of the things that led Meyer to put the label of “special” on his first Ohio State team.

OSU defensive line coach Mike Vrabel said, “We find ways to win football games.

“We've got a bunch of guys that are believing in themselves.”

Some other thoughts from Meyer: • The defensive pressure Ohio State put on Penn State quarterback Matt McGloin in a 35-23 win over the Nittany

Lions last Saturday might not be a one-game occurrence, Meyer said.

“It (more aggressive defense) is something I’ve been pushing. I’ve been pushing a little bit and will continue to push,” he said.

• Redshirt offensive lineman Chase Farris has been impressive in practice recently. “I see development.

Chase Farris right now is on fire. You don’t know Chase Farris. Someday we’re going to be talking about him because his development has

been great.”

• Except for long-term injuries, like those to linebacker Etienne Sabino and running back Jordan Hall, Ohio State is getting healthier.

“Our trainer says we’re as healthy as we’ve been,” Meyer said.

• The punt Penn State blocked – the third this season against OSU punter Ben Buchanan – was caused by a missed assignment when two players attempted to block the same defensive player.

Race organizers were moving forward with their plans — leaving open the possibility of changes from past years.

“The marathon has always been a special day for New Yorkers as a symbol of the vitality and resiliency of this city,” New York Road Runners President Mary Wittenberg said in a statement.

“NYRR continues to move ahead with its planning and preparation. We will keep all options open with regard to making any accommodations and adjustments necessary to race day and race weekend events.”

Lower Manhattan was especially hit hard and many runners need to take the ferry to the start on Staten Island.

Also, Bloomberg said it could be four or five days before the subways were running again. That could mean no trains on

race day.

Record-setting Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps was in Rio de Janeiro, the site of 2016 Summer the Games, but his thoughts were back in Maryland.

“I’m kind of nervous to go back home because I don’t know if my house is going to be under water or not. It will be an interesting trip,” Phelps said.

“I know that we will all sort of bounce back from everything that is going on. It’s kind of wild seeing all the pictures and all the coverage — it’s all I have been watching really since I have been here. It’s sad. it’s part of life.”

Former OSU star, Don Steinberg, dies COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Don Steinberg, who helped Ohio State win its first national championship in 1942, has died. He was 90.

In a release, the university said Steinberg was in hospice and died of congestive heart failure in Perry Township on Monday.

The 1942 Buckeyes were 9-1 and were voted No. 1 at season’s end by The Associated Press.

The team, coached by Paul Brown, featured a

star-studded backfield of future Heisman Trophy winner Les Horvath, Paul Sarringhaus and Gene Fekete, whose 89yard touchdown run that year against Pitt still ranks as the longest in school history.

Steinberg, who lettered from 1941-43 and again in 1945, was an end in the Buckeyes’ single-wing attack.

Following his graduation in 1946, Steinberg went on to become a surgeon.

CLEVELAND (AP) — Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert now wishes he wouldn’t have guaranteed his team would win an NBA title before LeBron James.

One game that would have been played was a matchup in Vancouver between the Detroit Red Wings and the hometown Canucks. Both clubs were eliminated in the first round of last season’s Western Conference playoffs.

ON THIS DAY LAST YEAR: Semyon Varlamov made 29 saves, and the Colorado Avalanche beat the Los Angeles Kings 3-2 for their first home victory of the season.

(AP) — BEREA Halfway through his second season, Browns coach Pat Shurmur sees dramatic changes in his fledgling team.

The mistakes are fewer. The practices are crisper. The injuries are healing.

With two wins in their past three games, the Browns, yes, the Cleveland Browns, who have spent most of the past decade wallowing in defeat, are starting to build something. One of the NFL’s youngest squads is growing up, and the Browns (2-6) are beginning to believe they can do much more than compete on a weekly basis.

Shurmur has his team feeling it can win — with him.

“Obviously, recordwise we’re not where I want to be right now,” Shurmur said Monday.

“But I see a team that’s improving. I see a team that’s battling. I see a team that’s with me every step of the way.

And they believe in their coaches. And I see a team that’s improving.

I’m hopeful we’re going to continue to make those improvements and win a heckuva lot of games.”

Battling brutal weather conditions on Lake Erie, the Browns did just enough Sunday for a 7-6 win over the San Diego Chargers,

BULLETIN BOARD

Commissioners approve land vacation Shelby County commissioners on Tuesday approved a petition to vacate a right-of-way in the village of Montra following a hearing on the requesting resident’s petition.

Board members earlier this year had viewed the land area.

Commissioners also met with Tom Bey, who shared a proposed compensation plan for Job and Family Services employees. No action was taken.

Shelby County Auditor Denny York also met with the board to discuss budget items and review estimated county revenue.

Commissioners approved eight appropriations transfers, five of them totaling $2,000 for county building maintenance, two totaling just $19.10, for the jury commission and an $89 transfer for Victims Services.

Also approved by the board was a $20,270 CHIP loan mortgage release for a Regional Planning Commission loan.

Y collects for soldiers The YMCA’s schoolaged children are participating in Operation Gratitude.

Operation Gratitude annually sends 100,000 care packages to U.S. service members, wounded soldiers, veterans and first responders.

Their mission is to lift morale, bring a smile to a service member’s face and express to members of the Armed Forces the appreciation and support of the American people.

The YMCA invites the community to also participate. Donations of leftover Halloween candy, along with letters of encouragement to service men and women, can be dropped off at the YMCA’s Welcome Center through Friday.

YMCA afterschool programs promote a love for learning, social and emotional development, and strive to foster creativity as well as sense of social responsibility. The Y’s afterschool program combines academics with play and offers a caring and safe environment for youth who would otherwise be left unsupervised.

Financial assistance is available to those in need, to ensure every youth has the opportunity to learn and grow at the Y. For more information about the Sidney YMCA’s afterschool program or Operation Gratitude, contact Maureen Woodson, Child Development Center Director, at 492-9134 or email mwoodson@sidneyymca.org.

Outdoor canning a natural fit for Sidney resident

BY ELAINE SCHWELLERSNYDER Many people, especially those in rural areas, grow and can their own vegetables, but canning produce by water bath over an open flame is generally a lost art. That is not the case for 85-year-old Marge Davis, of Sidney, however.

“When I was a child, Mom did her canning in an old wash kettle,” Davis said. “She would cook the vegetables all day outside and used cans with lead lids.”

“I canned for years on my stove, but this year my son made me a fire ring and a kettle that holds 14 quarts,” she continued. “I did three cannings of beans, jars and jars of vegetable soup, and 37 quarts of beets. Beets aren’t my favorite. I can eat them, but my family loves them, so I always give the beets away to them. A lot of what is in my garden I give away to family and friends.”

Davis has a large garden that includes peppers, beans, potatoes, tomatoes, melons, lettuce, cabbage and okra.

“I take okra and roll it in flour and cornmeal before freezing,” said Davis. “I also freeze green tomatoes and stuffed peppers.”

Not unlike the habits of animals who store food for the winter months, the practice of freezing and canning fresh fruits and vegetables for times of the year they are not available can be both cost saving

MARGE DAVIS, of Sidney, shows off a few of the items she canned from her garden this year using a fire ring and big open kettle outdoors. and a healthier alternative to store-bought foods loaded with artificial preservatives.

Done correctly, canning and freezing methods keep the vital vitamins and minerals intact.

Davis grew up on a farm in West Liberty, Ky., and the family moved to Ohio when she was around 15 years old.

“I quit school after 10th grade when World War II began,” she said. “I went to work in Piqua making shovels for the war effort. I was one of those ‘Rosie the Riveter’ girls

who went to work in the factories when the men left for the war.”

Davis was employed by Copeland Corp. (now Emerson Climate Technologies) in Sidney for more than 45 years until her retirement in 1993.

She worked as an assembler and inspector and finished her career in the stockroom.

Obviously proud of her lifetime of work, Davis talked about how she had always been strong and good with her hands.

Her work ethic had been

instilled by her father who was both a schoolteacher and farmer.

“I hauled corn as a kid on the farm and ran a plow pulled by horses,” she said.

Davis comes from a family of hard workers and a greatgreat-grandmother who was full-blooded Cherokee. The lines of her Indian heritage are visible in her face.

“Growing up, we didn’t have the groceries we have today. Rolled oats and peanut butter were staples, not all the cereals on the shelves now,” she said.

“We would take a hen to market and exchange it for the other things we needed.

One day, my mother gave me a hen to take and I walked to the store. After I got all the things on my list, I told the clerk that mother had told me to get the change in rice. The clerk said that is going to be a lot of rice. I had two 10-pound bags of rice plus the other items to carry. I figured out I could stash one bag in my bibbed overalls. I had only gotten so far when that bag burst and rice went everywhere. Now every time I buy rice, I think of that day.”

Davis has four grown children, 14 grandchildren and “I am not so sure how many great-grandchildren.” Some live locally but many are scattered throughout the country.

“My one grandson helps a lot with the canning. He weeds my garden and helps me get everything ready,” Davis said.

Her home shows the many changes she has seen throughout a life well-lived.

On the wall in the dining room are old black-and-white photographs of parents and grandparents. In the adjoining living room next to her easy chair sits a laptop computer and a television remote.

Antique crystal is interspersed with appliances in the kitchen, and heavy glass jars full of hot peppers and beets fill the pantry shelves above the modern washer and dryer.

A stainless steel freezer in the garage holds foods prepared using recipes handed down for generations.

These contrasts are a reminder that an old method of growing fruits and vegetables and putting them up for the winter can still fit perfectly into today’s world.

“I really enjoy my garden,” said Davis. “I have always lived in the country so this all comes naturally to me.”

Volunteers sought for disaster relief TROY — Being able to deliver meals, provide a safe and dry place to sleep and material items only partially meets the needs of those whose lives have been destroyed by disaster. Just as important are the crucial mental health counseling and provision of medical needs.

Imagine a community during a time of crisis without basic health care or mental health support. Imagine the chaos of immediately losing all you have — your home, loved ones and your livelihood.

The American Red Cross continually seeks volunteers to deploy on disasters and is currently recruiting for operations on the east coast.

While most volunteers spend three weeks on disaster operations, considerations for shorter trips (starting at 10 days) are considered. Volunteers must complete a credentialing process, background check, paperwork and two

basic Red Cross disaster courses. The American Red Cross, through the generosity of the American people, assume the costs of travel and incidentals while volunteers are in the field, and there is no charge for the disaster classes, which can be submitted for CEU’s (CEU cost is the responsibility of the participant).

Disaster Services: An Overview is a basic-level, webbased offering that provides an introduction to disaster services at the American Red Cross.

Module 1 is the first of a two-part course that introduces disaster preparedness and response. The online

class can be accessed by visiting www.redcross.org and is a pre-requisite to the Module 2.

Module 2 is an instructor led course designed for chapters to customize with their local Disaster Services program. The course engages participants through integrated video and interactive activities. Module 2 will be taught at the Northern Miami Valley Chapter, in Troy on Thursday from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.

The online module should be completed before class. A second Module 2 class will be held on Nov. 8 beginning at 6 p.m. in the Troy office.

Both the overview and the instructor–led class are re-

quired to be completed before deployment. These classes are geared for volunteers looking to deploy in disasters this this fall and winter.

Class sizes are limited and pre-registration is required by visiting https://classes.redcross.org/Saba/Web/Main.

Carter earns Eagle award FORT LORAMIE — Matt Carter received his Eagle Scout award recently at a banquet ceremony held at the Fort Loramie American Legion Post 355.

Carter, a member of Fort Loramie Boy Scout Troop 355 since 2006, also graduated from Fort Loramie High School in 2012. He is the son of Gary and Pam Carter. achievement Carter’s brings the total number of Eagle Scouts from Troop 355 to 36. Fort Loramie Troop 355 currently has 13 active scouts, and is led by Scoutmaster Keith Koogler and Assistant Scoutmaster Cole Koogler.

Carter’s Eagle Scout project took place at the Fort Loramie Historical Association museum.

The project involved making the museum’s barn available for public viewing. The museum’s barn, which contains mainly antique farm equipment, had previously been open to the public. However, for at least the last 20 years, the barn has been used only for storage and has not been available to the public.

The project involved cleaning the building

FORT LORAMIE – The Fort Loramie FFA chapter sent nine first year members to the 2012 State Greenhand Conference hosted by the Versailles FFA Chapter recently.

Participating were Melanie Kremer, Emily Goldheide, Holly Frey, Renee Seger, Nathan Meyer, Nathan Poeppelman, Kaitlyn Holthaus, McKenzie Eilerman and Kevin Meyer.

Theme for this year’s event was “First Down and Life to Go.” Members attended several workshops to learn of opportunities in FFA, setting goals, working together as teams and proper communication skills.

Participants also had the opportunity to gain experience with a variety of Career Development events including Agricultural and Industrial Development Diagnosis, floriculture, public speaking, job interviews, Ag sales, and equine and poultry judging.

The Fort Loramie FFA is a satellite program of Upper Valley Career Center.

Fort Loramie, Indian artifacts, mementos of the Miami-Erie Canal era, and much more. The Association is currently in the final stages of publishing a book of the history of Fort Loramie and the surrounding communities. The association also hosts the annual Colonial Williamsburg Dinner in December. The museum is open to the public every Sunday from June 1 to Sept. 1 from 1 to 4 p.m. Admission is free.

FORT LORAMIE — The Fort Loramie Community Service Club will host Jared Hoying, a Fort Loramie High School graduate, for its Nov. 6 meeting.

Hoying will speak about his experiences playing minor league baseball for the Frisco, Texas, Rough Riders.

Gary Carter, Shelby County Court magistrate, will be the speaker on Nov. 13 and the final speaker of the month will be Carla Siegel, Fort Loramie girls basketball coach, who will preview the upcoming season at the Nov. 27 meeting.

The club’s business meeting will be held Nov. 20.

Meetings are held at noon at Al’s Place in Fort Loramie. Prospective members are invited to attend.

and the antiques, and placing duplicate antiques into storage. The antiques were arranged in a way to create walkways around them. New signs were made to label each antique. Holes in the cement floor were patched, new lighting installed and a step labeled. Carter and other Troop 355 Scouts spent a total of 104 hours on the project.

According to Fort Loramie Historical Association Curator Jim

Rosengarten, the association is very active in preserving the community’s history. The association owns the Wilderness Trail Museum, which is the twostory red brick building formerly used as a boarding-house hotel by travelers on the MiamiErie Canal, and the barn museum. Many interesting pieces of history are on display, including a trolley car from the interurban railroad that once traveled through

Sparklin, Huecker to lead LLIA able to take the wood free for the hauling. A $2,300 grant received will be used to plant 15 trees in the campground.

Miller said the park is looking for seasonal staff for 2013 at state minimum wages. Applicants must be at least 18 years old.

The shelter house construction is progressing. Perma columns have been installed and the goal is to have the structure under roof by mid-November.

The dredge program removed two times more silt than last year, and the barge and crane worked three weeks, pulling out 40 stumps and one log.

Bob Bernhold reported he has acquired the Statue of Liberty that used to stand at Short’s Landing. It will be reconditioned by Boy Scouts, electrified and placed at the end of one

of the two docks at Earl’s Island.

Division of Wildlife officer Tim Roark reported hunter education courses will be held Nov 3 and 4 in Newport and said a chronic wasting disease is affecting members of the deer family.

He also reported Lake Loramie was recently stocked with 90,000 saugeye fingerlings and that the new crappie limit is 30 per day, nine inches in length.

Don Schmitmeyer of the Loramie Valley Alliance reported no funding is available for the organization from the state and various grants and said it is doubtful farmers will continue participating in the filter strip program because they will not receive monies and will prefer planting up to the edge

of their fields to gain the most income from their fields.

He told members the question was raised on farmers’ concerns for the environment but said economics were of more concern to farmers than environment impact.

Charlotte Smith suggested LLIA members be mindful of possible pollution to Lake Loramie.

Belinda Wolaver, membership chairman, reported the association has 368 members, including 63 individuals new this year. Linda Hoying reported the Fall Harvest Festival food stand’s income was $1,229 more than last year.

The October meeting was the association’s last until Feb. 19, which will be held at Oak Tree restaurant at 7:30 p.m.

Turkey festival planned NEWPORT – Sts. Peter & Paul Parish will hold its annual Turkey Festival Saturday and Saturday.

The event, which is open to the public, will be held in the church basement.

The festival raffle offers 20 prizes ranging from $100 to $1,000. Other events include turkey and cake wheels, children’s games, Showdown, Blackjack, a craft stand, and door prizes. Homemade soups, sandwiches and pies will also be available.

Festival hours are from 7:30 to 10:30 p.m. Saturday and 10:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. Sunday.

HOROSCOPE

SNUFFY SMITH

BY FRANCES DRAKE For Thursday, Nov. 1, 2012 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You might feel bored with existing partnerships, which causes you to feel tempted by someone else. (Don’t threaten something solid for a mere bonbon.)

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Expect a few surprises at work today.

(Computer crashes, canceled meetings, broken equipment and staff shortages.)

Nevertheless, a pleasant surprise also could occur.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Love at first sight is possible for many today. (Eyes across a crowded room and all that.) However, this is an accidentprone day for your children. Be vigilant!

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Unexpected company might knock at your door today. Small appliances could break down, or minor breakages could occur. Something will send your domestic routine into a tailspin.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) This is an accident-prone day, so be careful. Slow down and take it easy.

Allow extra time for everything, and leave wiggle room for the unexpected.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Guard your possessions and your money against loss or theft today. If shopping, keep your receipts. Count your change, and make friends with your bank account!

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) You’re full of excitement, because it feels like there’s more electricity in the air today. You want to do something different. Avoid bores. Be open to meeting new people who are interesting and unusual.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) This is a restless day for you, but it could be full of stimulating, exciting opportunities. Stay flexible, and go with the flow. Secrets might come out.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Meetings could be canceled today. However, you also might meet a real character or perhaps a friend will do or say something that surprises you. New information could prompt you to modify your goals.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Some of you will develop a sudden crush on your boss or someone in authority. Do be aware that this is a fleeting thing. Today’s thrill will be gone very soon.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Unexpected opportunities to travel somewhere might fall into your lap today. Similarly, a chance to take a course or get further training in something might arise. Act quickly, because your window of opportunity will be brief.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Something unexpected could happen today regarding shared property, inheritances or insurance matters. Stay on top of your game. Assume nothing.

YOU BORN TODAY You are confident and have abundant energy. Nevertheless, many people welcome your forceful attitude (although not all). People respect your honest, straightforward approach, and they admire your talents and technique. However, you need stimulation in your life! Your year ahead will focus primarily on partnerships and close friendships. You’re beginning a 29-year cycle wherein you will reinvent yourself!
