TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Mitt Romney came under withering criticism Wednesday over his depiction of President Barack Obama’s auto industry bailout, with Vice President Joe Biden accusing him of perpetuating an “outrageous lie” and newspapers assailing the Republican’s advertising campaign on the subject. Chrysler and General Motors also have protested the ads, as the 2009 bailout was pushed to the forefront of the White House campaign in a key battleground just days before Tuesday’s election. “They’re trying to scare the living devil out of a group of people who have been hurt so badly over the last previous four years before we came to office,” Biden told voters in Florida, labeling the Romney commercials “one of the most flagrantly dishonest ads I can ever remember in my political career.” Countering Biden, Republican vice presi-

dential candidate Paul Ryan, one of 32 House Republicans to vote for the auto bailout, said in a statement released by Romney’s campaign: “GM and Chrysler are expanding their production overseas. These are facts that voters deserve to know as they listen to the claims President Obama and his campaign are making.” Romney’s campaign insists the ads are accurate. The TV ad says: “Obama took GM and Chrysler into bankruptcy and sold Chrysler to Italians who are going to build Jeeps in China.” And the radio ad says: “Under President Obama, GM cut 15,000 American jobs, but they are planning to double the number of cars built in China which means 15,000 more jobs for China. And now comes word that Chrysler is starting to build cars in, you guessed it, China. What happened to the promises made to autoworkers in Toledo and See AUTOMAKERS/Page 6A

A Shelby County Sheriff ’s deputy is recovering from injuries received early Wednesday morning as he was directing traffic at the scene of another accident at Ohio 47 and Seger Dawson Road. Deputy Jason Seger, 23, a Fort Loramie-area resident, was transported to Wilson Memorial Hospital by Fort Loramie Rescue and later to Miami Valley Hospital with nonlife-threatening injuries. Sheriff John Lenhart said Wednesday Seger was on his way to work in his personal vehicle, came upon the earlier accident, and had stopped to assist with traffic. The accident occurred at 6:40 a.m. Seger, who joined the Sheriff ’s Office in April this year, was struck by an eastbound vehicle unrelated to the first accident. Lenhart did not release the name of the driver of the vehicle that struck the deputy, pending completion of an investigation by the Sheriff ’s Office and the Logan County Sheriff ’s Office Reconstruction Team. Assisting sheriff’s deputies at the scene were Fort Loramie Fire and Rescue, Fort Loramie Police, Ohio State Highway Patrol and the Logan County Sheriff’s Office.

Reimbursement sought for storm cleanup The city has applied for reimbursement in the amount of $8,600 plus costs of $4,700 for 2.5 weeks labor for the city’s cleanup of the June 26 storm, Street Superintendent Marty Kiefer told Sidney Tree Board members at their October meeting. He said all limbs and tree sections were removed and brush was ground for mulch at the city’s compost center. Keifer also told the board that four London planetrees trees will be planted with streetscape funds — three at Courtview Center on Main Avenue and one in front of the State Farm Insurance office on Ohio Avenue. He also reported he will be obtaining quotes for vertical mulching downtown area streetscape trees and that code enforcement has contacted him regarding a tree at 822 Crescent Drive that needs to be removed. The tree is on private property, which also has other code issues. The owner has 60 days to comply. Jerry Kauffman told the board that Phil Ruese, 1324 Port Jefferson Road, has asked for trees to be replaced in front of his home where a number of trees were removed several years ago. Administrative assistant Joyce Reier will send a Tree Care permit application and a letter explaining the city does not have a planting program at this time, but he may replace the trees himself. Joseph and Theresa LaMantia, 749 Crescent Drive, attended the meeting. They have submitted an application to remove a silver maple tree in front of their residence since they are rebuilding their front porch and there is no room for equipment access. After considerable discussion, in which the board stated it did not want to set a precedent on the removal of trees planted in the wrong place, the board agreed to visit the site to examine the view of the street in general.

Council learns of resignation KETTLERSVILLE — Kettlersville Village Council heard about the resignation of a council member and discussed information regarding the South Street elevation project during its recent meeting. Kettlersville officials were informed that council member Keith Phillips has submitted a letter of resignation to the village. According to Mayor Eric Kaminsky, Phillips resigned because he has moved. The council seat vacated by Phillips has not been filled. Kaminsky presented council members with an estimate from Choice One Engineering for the South Street elevation requested by Elsass Fabricating. The estimate from Choice One was based on estimates that were provided by Elsass Fabricating. Council approved a motion to have Kaminsky mail the Choice One estimate and specifications to Elsass Fabricating and it was noted that final approval will be required from council members before construction can begin.

‘In-person’ voting, candidate eligibility discussed The Shelby County Board of Elections revisited the issue of “in-person” voting hours during its October meeting and discussed eligibility paperwork received from the Common Pleas Court for sheriff candidate John R. Lenhart. The issue was revisited because the Secretary of State’s office advisory 2012-01. There is still confusion if board members can set weekend hours for their office without being in conflict with the Secretary of State’s directive 2012-35. There was some confu-

sion in what the secretary was really requiring with the advisory. There was no deadline in the advisory for the recommendations that would come from the boards of elections. A discussion followed regarding the past history of voting on Saturdays until noon and then remaining open for absentee voting during the normal office hours on Monday prior to the election. When this was the procedure, the board would stay late on Monday evening to verify everyone who had voted on the Saturday and Monday before

the election to print lists for all presiding judges. Each presiding judge would then have to mark their signature books with labels that said “absentee ballot requested” to prevent a voter from voting twice. These updated labels were delivered by the rovers early Tuesday morning. For the last several elections, normal Shelby County hours were changed to end on Friday at 6 p.m. for in-person voting, with no in-person voting being allowed on the Saturday or Monday before the election. There is

concern that the voters will be confused with all the changes in the hours during the week. Chairman Chris Gibbs’ concern was with the staff being able to complete the work on that Monday evening so signature books would be accurate on Tuesday when the polls opened. Director Dawn Billing stated they would remain in the office and do what needs to be done. Merrill Asher wondered that if the board established weekend hours now, posted them on the See VOTING/Page 11A

Federal court halts expanded ballot counting ruling BY ANN SANNER Associated Press

REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTIAL candidate and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney campaigns with former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush in Tampa, Fla., Wednesday.

AUTOMAKERS throughout Ohio? “ The claims are highly misleading. In fact, Chrysler is adding 1,100 jobs to its plant in Toledo. It’s also adding production facilities in China as demand for cars there grows. Because of trade rules, it’s easier for companies to build cars for the Chinese market in China. It’s also more efficient. Japanese automakers, for example, have plants in the U.S. to meet American demand. For much of the race, Romney had been carefully avoiding raising the auto issue; aides say he was reluctant to give Obama’s campaign a bigger opportunity to remind voters about the bailouts. But advisers say that thinking has changed as Romney has looked for traction in Ohio in the race’s final days. Last week, Romney himself suggested on the campaign trail that U.S. auto giants were moving jobs to China at the expense of Ohio, citing a Bloomberg News report that said Chrysler would move jobs to China. “I saw a story today that one of the great manufacturers in this state — Jeep, now owned by the Italians — is thinking of moving all production to China,” he said. Romney hasn’t repeated that claim since then.

From Page 1

His spokeswoman, Andrea Saul, said Wednesday that Romney was relying on an inaccurate report from Bloomberg News, and that Bloomberg had updated its story to indicate that while Chrysler did plan to manufacture all types of its cars in China, it was expanding into the Asian country, not moving its operations there. Saul also said that neither auto company disputed the facts of the ad, even if they complained about becoming topics in the presidential race. The ads reflect Romney’s late-game effort to win a state that’s critical to his effort to win the 270 electoral votes needed for victory. It’s difficult to see how he wins the White House without winning in Ohio, a state that offers 18 electoral votes and that every Republican president has won. Over the past week, auto bailout politics have flared red hot in the state. Obama hammered Romney during the final debate last week over his opposition to the auto bailout, then renewed that criticism against Romney with greater emphasis in Ohio. During that period, polls showed Romney slipping in Ohio among white, working-class voters, a group he has courted aggressively and who polls show have favored him in other states.

Judge sentences ex-charter treasurer to two years COLUMBUS (AP) — A former treasurer to more than a dozen Ohio charter schools was sentenced Wednesday to two years in federal prison for embezzling more than $470,000 in federal education funds from four schools over six years. Carl W. Shye Jr., 57, of New Albany, tearfully apologized and others presented a string of favorable testimonials, including from former associates of the schools. U.S. District Court Judge Gregory Frost said his sentence was designed to send a strong message to others contemplating stealing money from public schools and their students, while recognizing the good Shye has done

in other areas of his life. “You abused a position of trust, stole money from schools and students,” Frost told Shye during a sentencing hearing. “One group of victims is students and I can’t forget that.” Besides the prison term, Shye got three years on probation and is required to repay the money he stole. He has forfeited his CPA license. Shye handled the finances of more than a dozen former charter schools in Columbus, Dayton and Youngstown. Under Ohio law, such schools operate independently of any school district but under contract with a sponsoring entity. An FBI investigation found Shye got access to

the money in a wide variety of ways, including writing checks that exceeded contractual work done for the schools, beefing up his salary payments and loaning money from one school to another and then pocketing the repayment. The sum cited by the government was perpupil federal funding distributed through the Ohio Department of Education to four schools that have since closed: George Washington Carver Preparatory Academy ($114,000); Legacy Academy for Leaders & Arts ($276,000); NuBethel Center of Excellence ($56,000); and New City Community School ($26,000).

precinct, are labeled “right church, wrong pew.” Ohio has been ordered to count those under a previous court decision. However, the state had opposed counting ballots at wrong polling locations, saying it could create Election Day chaos among other problems. The three-judge appeals panel agreed. It wrote in its opinion that the lower court’s ruling would result in “interference with orderly election administration and greater confusion among poll workers and voters.” The appeals court decision delays an Oct. 24 ruling by Columbus federal Judge Algenon Marbley, who said he based his order on the rationale that such problems arise because of mistakes by poll workers. But the appeals court questioned whether such ballots at the wrong polling locations should be counted.

Thousands still without power CLEVELAND (AP) — Thousands of northern Ohio residents are still without power and hundreds of schools closed for a second day as the region cleaned up from superstorm Sandy. Flood warnings remained for much of the Cleveland lakeshore area as crews cleaning

up debris and trying to restore power expected to deal with another day of steady rain and gusty winds Wednesday. FirstEnergy reported more than 147,000 homes and businesses without power Wednesday night. More than 122,000 of those were in Cuyahoga County, which

includes the city of Cleveland. Restoring all of it could take days. High winds spinning off the storm smacked Ohio early Tuesday, uprooting trees, bringing down power lines and causing other havoc. Two people were killed in crashes on icy roads in northwest Ohio.

COLUMBUS (AP) — A federal appeals court on Wednesday temporarily halted an attempt by voter advocates to expand the conditions under which provisional ballots are counted in the swing state of Ohio. The 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Cincinnati put on hold a lower court’s ruling that said the state must count provisional ballots cast not just in the wrong precinct but in the wrong polling location altogether. With less than a week before Election Day, the appeals court ruling brought some clarity to one of the remaining disputes involving Ohio’s election procedures. Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted’s broader appeal on the matter remains before the appeals court, but it isn’t expected to be decided bethe election fore Tuesday.

Husted said Wednesday that the court’s move allows him to provide Ohio’s 88 county elections boards with guidance for processing provisional ballots, which are counted later and can be challenged. Allowing the lower court ruling to continue, he said, had the potential to cause problems and confusion. “Voters could have cast ballots wherever they wanted to in the county, regardless of their eligible precinct,” Husted said in a statement. The ballots at issue are dubbed “wrong church, wrong pew,” referring to both a mistaken polling place and a mistaken precinct. A lawyer for a union that sued over the issue said as many as 8,000 voters cast such ballots in 2008. Some polling places contain voting machines for several precincts. Voters in the right building, but in the wrong

OUT OF THE BLUE Skeleton found when tree uprooted NEW HAVEN, Conn. (AP) — New Haven police say superstorm Sandy has revealed a skeleton beneath the town green that may have been there since Colonial times. Police spokesman David Hartman says a woman who was with other bystanders looking at a fallen oak tree called police Tuesday after she saw bones in the upturned roots. Hartman says the tree was planted on the green in 1909 on the 100th anniversary of President Abraham Lincoln's birth. He says the remains likely belong to one of thousands of people buried there in Colonial times. The remains will be evaluated by the state medical examiner.

Obama puts campaign on hold to visit storm victims BY NEDRA PICKLER Associated Press ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (AP) — President Barack Obama put campaign battleground travel on hold to tour the ravaged New Jersey coast Wednesday, while downto-the-wire campaigning resumed in swing state Florida that is critical to Republican Mitt Romney’s victory plan. Obama and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie boarded the presidential Marine One helicopter upon its arrival in southern New Jersey for an aerial tour of the damage. White House press secretary Jay Carney said the president’s aides and New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s office agreed Obama should not visit there and distract from the response to devastation in lower Manhattan. Obama was spending a third day focused on storm response in lieu of voter contact in the swing states. The president planned to resume campaign travel Thursday with gusto, with stops in Nevada, Colorado and Wisconsin, before both

candidates descend on Ohio Friday. Obama left Wednesday’s sharp-elbowed politicking to Vice President Joe Biden, who accused Romney of perpetrating “an outrageous lie” in an ad airing in Ohio that suggests Obama’s policies are shipping Jeep manufacturing to China. Biden told Florida voters the ads are “scurrilous” and “one of the most flagrantly dishonest ads I can ever remember in my career,” which stretches more than 40 years. Vice presidential nominee Paul Ryan doubled down on the criticism in a written response to Biden. “American taxpayers are on track to lose $25 billion as a result of President Obama’s handling of the auto bailout, and GM and Chrysler are expanding their production overseas,” Ryan said. “These are facts that voters deserve to know as they listen to the claims President Obama and his campaign are making. President Obama has chosen not to run on the facts of his record, but he can’t run from them.” Superstorm Sandy has created an air of uncertainty in Romney’s Boston head-

quarters. Aides report that their internal polling offers a better outlook than recent public polling that gives Obama an edge in some swing states, but they concede that the national distraction has frozen any momentum Romney had coming out of this month’s debates. Romney’s final travel schedule is not yet set, but aides suggest he will focus his time in traditional swing states instead of traveling to less competitive areas where the campaign is trying to expand the map. This week, for example, he is scheduled to focus on Florida, Virginia and Ohio with a brief stop in Wisconsin. But the campaign is leaving open the possibility that Romney makes a surprise visit to a state like Pennsylvania, given their recent investment in television advertising there. Florida is among the most closely fought and the biggest prize among the swing states, with 29 electoral votes. Without victory in Florida, Romney will have an uphill and limited path to electoral victory.

Storm spins death along path BY CHRISTOPHER SULLIVAN Associated Press Death blew in on the superstorm’s wild winds and sea water torrents, claiming 90year-olds and children with capriciously toppling trees, taking tall-ship adventurers in mountainous Atlantic waves and average folks just trying to deal with a freakish snowstorm. It felled both heroes rushing into harm’s way and, ironically, people simply following advice to play it safe at home. At least 63 died as the shape-shifting hurricane and winter storm ravaged the eastern U.S., and searchers continued looking for victims Wednesday. In New York City, a college student went out to take pictures in the borough of Queens and was electrocuted by a downed power line, while across town on Staten Island, an offduty policeman drowned after moving his family to safety. Lauren Abraham, who went by the nickname LolaDiva on YouTube, was a makeup artist who worked out of a studio in her parents’ Queens home. The recent beauty school graduate was studying at City University of New York’s Lehman College, according to her Facebook page. “In her time of reflection she learned to find the beauty in even the darkest situations,” her online bio reads. As the superstorm ravaged New York and floodwater surged into his Staten Island house Monday evening, off-duty NYPD officer Artur Kasprzak, 28, shepherded six adult relatives and a baby to the attic. Then, according to police, Kasprzak, a six-year veteran of the force, told one of the women he was going to check the basement. When he didn’t return, she called 911. Police came quickly with a SCUBA unit, but couldn’t access the home because power lines had fallen into the water.

New York struggles back 2 days after killer storm BY LEANNE ITALIE Associated Press NEW YORK (AP) — Flights resumed, but slowly. The New York Stock Exchange got back to business, but on generator power. And with the subways still down, great numbers of people walked across the Brooklyn Bridge into Manhattan in a reverse of the exodus of 9/11. Two days after Superstorm Sandy rampaged across the Northeast, killing at least 63 people, New York struggled Wednesday to find its way. Swaths of the city were still without power, and all of it was torn from its daily rhythms. At luxury hotels and drugstores and Starbucks shops that bubbled back to life, people clustered around outlets and electrical strips, desperate to recharge their phones. In the Meatpacking District of

Manhattan, a line of people filled pails with water from a fire hydrant. Two children used jack-o’-lantern trick-ortreat buckets. Gov. Andrew Cuomo said that parts of the subway would begin running again Thursday, and that three of seven tunnels under the East River had been pumped free of water, removing a major obstacle to restoring full service. “We are going to need some patience and some tolerance,” he said. On Wednesday, both were frayed. Bus service was free but delayed, and New Yorkers jammed on, crowding buses so heavily that they skipped stops and rolled past hordes of waiting passengers. New York City buses serve 2.3 million people on an average day, and two days after the storm they were trying to handle many of the 5.5 million daily subway riders, too.

As far west as Wisconsin and south to the Carolinas, more than 6 million homes and businesses were still without power, including about 650,000 in New York City, Mayor Michael Bloomberg said. The mayor said 500 patients were being evacuated from Bellevue Hospital because of storm damage. The hospital has run on generators since the storm. About 300 patients were evacuated from another Manhattan hospital Monday after it lost generator power. Bloomberg also canceled school the rest of the week, and the Brooklyn Nets, who just moved from New Jersey, scratched their home opener against the Knicks on Thursday. Still, there were signs that New York was flickering back to life and wasn’t as isolated as it was a day earlier.

Boy Scouts host anti-abuse forum BY DAVID CRARY Associated Press Even as its past policies on sex-abuse prevention fuel controversy, the Boy Scouts of America is hosting an unprecedented closed-door symposium Thursday with other national youth organizations, hoping to share strategies to combat future abuse. The 10 participating groups, including the Boys and Girls Clubs of America, the YMCA and Big Brothers Big Sisters, will hear presentations from some of the nation’s top experts on child sex-abuse prevention. They also will discuss the sensitive topic of how uncorroborated information about potentially threatening adult volunteers might be shared among youth organizations.

Planning for the one-day session in Atlanta began late last year, part of longstanding efforts by the Boy Scouts to demonstrate a commitment to preventing the abuse problems that have bedeviled it and other youth groups over the decades. The Boy Scouts have been criticized for a lack of transparency in the ways they deal with sex abuse allegations. They have fought to keep their so-called “perversion files” confidential, and those files reveal many cases where the Scouts failed to protect youths from pedophiles. Two weeks ago, the Scouts released files from 1959-85 on 1,200 alleged pedophiles after The Associated Press, The Oregonian, The New York Times, Oregon Public Broadcasting and other news media won a court case against the organization.

The public is excluded from the Thursday symposium, but the organization says that will encourage candid discussion among participants. Michael Johnson, a former police detective hired by the Scouts in 2010 as national director of youth protection, has been the key organizer of the symposium, calling it a “groundbreaking opportunity” for groups serving more than 17 million youngsters to discuss their shared challenges and anti-abuse strategies. “Crazy as it sounds, this hasn’t been done before,” Johnson said. One of the symposium’s sessions will deal with the type of confidential files kept by the Boy Scouts since the 1920s, containing a range of verified and unverified allegations involving thousands of adults deemed to pose a threat of abuse.

Hospice offers sessions on grief during holidays Wilson Hospice Care will offer three different sessions addressing the challenge that the holiday season adds for those who are dealing with grief issues. These sessions will be at the First Christian Church, 320 E. Russell Road. There will be two sessions offered: one from 1 to 3 p.m. and an evening session offered from 7 to 9 p.m. on Tuesdays, Nov. 6, 13 and 20. The sessions are offered at no charge to the participants. They are designed to deal with various topics at each session, so the sessions will not be

the same. Participants who cannot attend all three are welcome to attend when they are able. ”We know that the holiday season is not ‘the season to be jolly’ for everyone. For many, this season of the year is filled with painful memories, fears and ‘empty places of the heart.’ Many wish they could just avoid the whole season and that it would be Jan. 2 A.S.A.P.! Grief is a strange process in our lives,” said the Rev. Phil Chilcote, bereavement coordinator. “It can, and often does, affect every area of life: our bodies, our minds, our relationships, our behavior,

our sense of self-worth. The holiday season seems to highlight the reality of how things are different than they used to be. These differences can really throw us, so that often it becomes very difficult to function normally at all.” The staff of Wilson Hospice Care is committed to assisting persons in their struggles that center on death and dying. They not only care for those who are terminally ill, but also provide services to those who have lost a loved one, whether the loved one was a hospice patient or not. For further information, call 494-5287.

the Creator of the universe; they continue to avoid the Holy God of the Bible. Many will be challenged by reading this article and countless other articles in the newspaper today. Some will read about opportunities, others will read about events coming up, but clearly every page is loaded with opportunities. As they read through the newspaper, without even realizing the fear, they will immediately shut out opportunities, and they will reject the voice of God as He is speaking to them again and again because of being bound and immobilized by fear. How many are paralyzed by a fear to react, a fear to respond, and a fear of the unknown? In Numbers chapter 13 and 14, we read that

10 of the 12 spies that were sent in to the Promised Land had their decisions paralyzed by fear. Statistically, that is nearly 84 perccent of them. I wonder if 84 percent of the people today will not apply for the job God has for them because of fear of rejection, or maybe a fear of success. I wonder if 84 percent of the people will not be a part of the events in the community because of a fear of people, a fear of opinions, or a fear of change. I wonder how many will read articles like this one each week, but have no part in the house of God due to fear, a fear of what happened yesterday, a fear of what might happen today, or a fear of what will happen if they commit their lives to Christ. I wonder if you are part of the 84

Church celebrates 50 years On Oct. 14, Trinity Church of the Brethren celebrated 50 years at its present location, 2220 N. Main Ave., by holding two special services and a catered meal. The Church of the Brethren has been a part pf Shelby County since the 1830s and moved into Sidney in the 1890s. As early at 1954, the church began to study the possibility of relocating from Grove Street to a space better suited for its growing congregation. After acquiring five acres of land at a cost of

$6,000, a groundbreaking service was held April 9, 1961. At the time of the church’s construction, farmland bordered the property. North Main had not been paved beyond Parkwood Street and the present housing developments were yet to be built. Those on the building committee were Clayton Kiracofe, John Shively, Robert Taylor, Homer Kies, Bernice Earl, Dewy Earl, Don Kies, Richard Helman, John Klauss and the Rev. James Tyler. Each brought their individual talents and many hours of serv-

ice to the church building project. The new church was dedicated on May 6, 1962. All building debt was paid by 1977 and a mortgage-burning was celebrated on May 7, 1978. The October 50-year celebration included participation by former pastors John Edwards and Alan Kiefaber. Special music was provided by Fred and Peg Meyers and Sherrie Robbins. The current choir and former choir members combined to sing a favorite hymn. During the worship, Pastor Brent

percent, or maybe you are part of the 16 percent who were bold enough to get up and go after the promises of God. Let me remind you what I Timothy 1:7 says, “God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of love, power and a sound mind.” The question is: What is there to fear? If the Bible tells us that life is a gift from God, are you living it to the fullest, or are you living it in fear? Today needs to be a new day, a day of

adventure and a day of faith. Some need to make plans to change some things, to do something new, visit a friend, apply for a new job, or just step foot in a Biblebelieving house of faith this Sunday. The question is this “What is it that you are afraid of more — failure or success?” Only you can answer this question. The writer is the pastor of Central Bible Ministry.

Egyptians in hajj divided over Islam MECCA, Saudi Arabia (AP) — Now that she has finished the hajj and is returning home to Egypt, Magda Bagnied says her family will no doubt try to convince her to put on the headscarf to demonstrate her religiosity after a pilgrimage meant to cleanse her of sin and bring her closer to God. She fully expects that from her parents. But she doesn’t want that kind of pressure from her government or leaders. “Leave religion to the people,” said Bagnied, a media professor at Ahram Canadian University, in Cairo’s suburbs. The annual pilgrimage to Islam’s holiest sites offers Muslims a chance to reaffirm their faith and root themselves more firmly in their beliefs. It comes at a time when several Arab nations are facing a similar issue on a political level after uprisings that toppled longtime leaders and brought Islamists to greater power: The question of how much a government should be rooted in Islam. Egypt in particular is struggling with that question. Elections since the fall last year of Hosni Mubarak elevated Mo-

hammed Morsi, who hails from the Muslim Brotherhood, to president. The Brotherhood was vaulted to become the country’s strongest political force, along with even more conservative Islamists known as Salafis, who follow a strict Saudi-style interpretation of Islam. As pilgrims were making their way around the Kaaba, the cube-shaped structure in Mecca that observant Muslims pray toward five times a day, and performing an elaborate set of rituals in Saudi Arabia over the past week, Egypt was in a bitter struggle over the writing of the new constitution. Salafis are pressing for the document to explicitly root Egypt’s laws in Shariah. That has raised liberals’ fears that it will bring stricter implementation of Islamic law and empower Muslim clerics in a political role, limiting women’s rights and freedoms of worship and expression. The assembly writing the constitution is dominated by the Brotherhood and Salafis. The Egyptians who performed the pilgrimage this year may be united in the importance they give to their faith in their lives. But it doesn’t mean they all agree on the mix of re-

ligion and politics. More than 90,000 Egyptians were on the pilgrimage, which largely wrapped up on Monday. They hailed from all segments of Egyptian society, the rich and the poor, and from all corners of the Arab world’s most populous nation. Wearing the seamless terrycloth garments worn by male pilgrims to symbolize equality and unity during hajj, Sayid Zeid said Egypt’s constitution should represent all Egyptians — and, he added, it must be based on the Quran. How can it be both, given the large Christian minority and the sector of liberal Muslims? “Shariah will be applied by God … It should be applied as it came down from God,” said Zeid, who is a reporter with Egypt’s state TV, though he was performing the hajj, not covering it. For some, it seemed only natural that Islamic law would benefit a Muslim-majority nation, putting aside questions of who would interpret it or implement it. Making his way to midday prayers at Mecca’s Grand Mosque, which houses the Kaaba, AbdelMuntalib el-Fikky said there is no reason to fear

ELECTION 2012

Sidney Daily News,Thursday, November 1, 2012

COUNTY a member of St. Michael Catholic Church, where he has served on the church finance committee and as a CCD teacher. He has also served on a number of boards, including the Shelby Soil and Water Conservation District and the Shelby County Pork Producers, where he served as president for two years, and has also served on the Ohio PRV Committee and the Ohio Pork Producers Council, where he served as president for two years. Bornhorst currently is an an adviser for the Fort Loramie Livestock 4-H Club and serves on the Shelby County OSU Extension Board as chairman of the board and budget chairman. He is also a member of the Fort Loramie Chamber of Commerce, the Fort Loramie Service Club and served on five of the Fort Loramie Local Schools levy campaigns. A recipient of numerous awards, Bornhorst was recognized with the National Pork All American Award in 1988; the OSU Outstanding Alumni Award, 1997; the Ohio Environmental Stewardship Award, 2000; the Ohio Pork Industry Excellence Award, 2010; and the Shelby County Soil and Water Cooperators of the Year Award, 2010. Bornhorst enjoys spending time with his family and preparing pork loin for various organizations, friends and family events. Yost, 50, a Democrat, is a native of West Virginia and currently lives in Maplewood. He has been a resident of Shelby County for several years. He and his wife, Robin, have been married for 28 years and are the parents of two sons, Jonathan, 24, and Devin, 20. Yost is a 1980 graduate of Clay-Battell High School in Blacksville, W. Va., and is a 1984 graduate of West Virginia University with a degree in business administration. He is currently employed as by Lowes in Wapakoneta as an assistant store manager. Yost has worked with the Boy Scouts of America with Pack 90 and Troop 90 in Jackson Center and with Troop 97 in Sidney. He has also worked with Shelby County Habitat for Humanity, the Sidney High School Vespa Quarterback Club, the SEED Advisory Board of Sidney High School and the Shelby County Building Industry Association. The Sidney Daily News asked the two candidates a series of questions about a variety of issues and the following are the questions and their responses: As a commissioner, how would you deal with county budget issues and the possible loss of additional local government funds? Bornhorst: I would work with the other commissioners to continue to provide the best possible county services within the parameters of current revenue. I would ensure we look at all options to use updated technology and share services wherever feasible. I would work to maintain open communications with Sidney, our villages, the Chamber of Commerce, the business growth associations and West Ohio Development Council to enhance business growth in Shelby County. The county is currently struggling financially due to the loss of local government funds and the phaseout of tangible personal property (TPP) reimbursements. Both sources of revenue came directly from the state to the county and other local governments. Since these cuts, the state has not given us new sources of revenue. This leaves the county more re-

From Page 1

County commissioner Responsibilities: To act as the general administrative body of county government. The commissioners perform duties specifically authorized by the Ohio Legislature. Among their duties, they are responsible to be the county government taxing, budgeting, appropriating and purchasing authority. They hold the title to county property. Their responsibilities include hearing and ruling on annexations, approving drainage improvements through the petition ditch process, establishing water and sewer district rates, and making improvements and providing for solid waste disposal. Salary: The commissioners receive an annual salary of $44,421, and according to the Shelby County Auditor’s Office, they have all taken a voluntary 10 percent cut in salary. Term: four years.

liant on a direct source of revenue — our local sales tax. We need to work with our partners in economic development to help the growth of new retail in our area, which will ultimately result in increased revenues for the county. Yost: I will work with all elected officials, the city of Sidney, villages and townships to combine and share services, resources, eliminate any overlap of services to cut expenses and determine what the base of operations need to be to cover basic services and to maintain these levels. Petition our state legislators to return more of our local tax dollars back to Shelby County. In cases of limited money, how should funding priorities be determined? Yost: Work with the auditor, sheriff, engineer and other elected officials to develop a list of priorities, develop a plan of action, and put the plan to work. Keep the county employees and the public informed of the changes and how everyone will be affected. Bornhorst: Many of the county expenditures have already been determined by unfunded or partially funded mandates, which have to be met. After those mandates, a determination of the essential services for the citizens of Shelby County must be made for each budget item. What do you feel are the biggest issues facing the county at this time and why? Bornhorst: Due to stringent budget constraints, the potential loss of trained and trusted employees to other employment opportunities could result in poor or less-thandesired services to the citizens of Shelby County. We need to continue to attract new business and enhance the ability of existing businesses to expand, which provides a greater tax base and greater employment opportunities within the county. Our employers currently struggle to find qualified applicants for many positions. I would work with and support West Ohio Development Council’s efforts to hire a workforce development coordinator. This person will work between our businesses and schools to get our youth into these positions and grow our economy. Yost: Economic development, jobs, jobs, jobs. While it is the commissioners’ job to manage the tax revenues and expenses of (the) county, we must work more with the West Ohio Development Council, Regional Planning Commission, Chamber of Commerce, local business, schools and agriculture to promote and develop Shelby County. What steps would you take, if any, to preserve farmland within the county? Yost: Work with the township trustees, the Ohio State University Extension Office and the local farmers to learn what they need to preserve and develop agricultural business in the county and help develop ad-

ditional tools to work with their present zoning regulations. Bornhorst: At present, funding for farmland preservation would be difficult. Currently, the value of farmland and the value of crop and livestock production will continue to allow agriculture to be the No. 1 industry in Shelby County. At present, the agricultural market system locally is working well to preserve itself without government intervention. Where do you stand on the issue of wind turbines in the county? Explain. Bornhorst: Like many of the county’s residents, I am currently researching the pros and cons of wind turbines and am working to determine whether they would be overall beneficial to the county. I won’t be swayed by rhetoric or be attracted to revenue promises until I research and embrace all the facts. Yost: I have been doing a lot of reading on the subject of wind turbine farms, PILOT program and alternative energy zones. I will continue to educate myself on the effects of large-scale wind-farm projects. I plan to contact our neighbors in northwestern Ohio and discuss the pros and cons of wind-farm development. I would also work with the townships, villages, school districts, property owners and the public to determine what’s best for the community. Why do you want to serve as a Shelby County Commissioner? Yost: I have worked in the private sector since since I was 12. I have been a part of a management team for over 28 years providing products, services and solutions to the public, businesses and nonprofits. I enjoy helping and listening to others and finding creative ways to solve problems. Bornhorst: Shelby County has been home to me my entire life. It has provided me and my family many opportunities and I truly believe it is a great place to live and work. Now it is my turn to help Shelby County continue to be a great place to live, work and to raise a family. Why should Shelby County residents vote for you and not your opponent? Bornhorst: I bring the experience of years of service to my community in local, county, state and national participation. I have been active with the Fort Loramie Service Club, Fort Loramie Chamber of Commerce, Finance Commission of St. Michael Church, Fort Loramie Local Schools building projects and levy campaigns, 4-H adviser, Shelby County Pork Producers, Farm Bureau, (OSU) Extension Service, Ohio Pork Producers Council, National Pork Board Education Committee and a delegate to National Pork Forum. I have experience in developing budgets for my family farm as well as local and state organizations. Yost: I’ve been part of a

management team for 28 years and have a lifetime of community service experience. Over my career, I have acquired many talents and skills while serving others. I would like to use my skills to bring fresh ideas to county government and develop and promote Shelby County. Would you continue to work another job while serving or would you be a full-time commissioner? Yost: Yes, I would like to continue to work at Lowes in some capacity. I really enjoy working at Lowes and helping people with their projects and business needs. Bornhorst: I would make being your Shelby County Commissioner my top priority. I will be retiring from my transportation position at Fort Loramie Schools with over 28 years of service. What would you do to bring new businesses and industry to Shelby County? Bornhorst: I intend to maintain open communication between Sidney, our villages, the Chambers of Commerce, Business Growth Associations, West Ohio Development Council and Regional Planning. We need to facilitate new business development and also provide the environment that encourages existing businesses to expand. Yost: Use my background in business management to work with West Ohio Development Council, Regional Planning Commission, Ohio State University Extension office, Chamber of Commerce, city of Sidney, villages and townships, local businesses and industry, agriculture and school districts to develop a good environment to attract business to the county. What are your views of open meetings and how accessible will you be to the public and the media? Yost: Follow all state laws on all meetings, maintain a good relationship with the media, make myself available to the public when requested, maintain an open line of communication directly with local businesses, the public, county employees, and others. Bornhorst: My past experience has shown me that open communications are essential. It is necessary for citizens to be able to provide their input and have the opportunity to be a part of the decision-making process. I will ensure this happens consistently and completely. What should the county do about the animal shelter, especially since the humane society has become less active? Bornhorst: The county currently uses license and other fees to operate the Shelby County Animal Shelter. We have used minimal assistance from the humane society in the past. The animal shelter is currently fostering a new relationship with the recently formed group, SCARF, whose mission includes the assistance of the animal shelter in providing food, vet care, and adoption assistance. Overall, when you add the sheriff’s leadership and management of the shelter, this relationship should provide great rewards for our community. I will work to keep this relationship growing. Yost: I would continue to work with the sheriff and operate the animal shelter in a professional manner. My family recently adopted a puppy from the shelter. The staff is professional, have a love and compassion for the work they do, and the animals are well-cared for.

door and website, if those hours could still be overturned by the secretary. Asher made a motion to have weekend, in-person voting hours Saturday, Nov. 3, from 8 a.m. to noon, and Monday, Nov. 5, from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. The motion was approved by the board. James Thompson made a motion that board members send a letter signed by the chairperson to the secretary of state, requesting clarification on weekend hours because of the federal court action in regard to ending voting on Friday at 6 p.m. A voice roll approved the motion. Board member Jon Baker felt the staff should be able to communicate with the secretary’s office and receive an answer without a formal letter with board signatures. Thompson said the office has not been responding in regard to questions on weekend hours and felt that was why Field Representative Stewart Kitchen did not attend Shelby County board meetings. Billing will prepare a letter and Gibbs will sign. All board members will have a chance to see the letter before it is mailed.

Pouring concrete Deputy Director Phil Warnecke updated the board on the pouring of a concrete pad at New Hope Church and said striping had done at numerous locations in accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act. These had been approved by the secretary of state and the local board is receiving federal money to pay for the upgrades. The board is still awaiting approval for striping at Orange Township. The board also looked at containers (old ballot boxes) to verify that the extra-long ballot would fit and could be locked if needed on Election Day and used to empty the M100s. Labels will need to be made for the ballot boxes to confirm what precinct the ballots were removed from. Members will be the only personnel who will remove the ballots. A chain of custody will be with each unit along with locks so they may be resealed. A duplicate copy of the chain of custody will stay with the presiding judge so they know who removed the ballots and when. The board voted 4-0 to pass a motion to follow that procedure. Under new business, Billing reviewed with the board a directive on Election Night reporting and the need for extra help to report to the state. Billing would like to ask past board member Ellen Joslin as she had helped before and was capable of using the computer software to complete the reporting. Shelby County must update its totals at the top of each hour. Billing will follow up with Joslin.

Begin process Asher questioned staff on when the process of absentee ballots would begin. Billing said workers were to begin the process of absentee ballots Monday this week. Thompson brought to the board an issue that had come to his attention in regard to the eligibility paperwork received from the Common Pleas Court for sheriff candidate John R. Lenhart before he was appointed in the fall of 2011. Thompson stated that the Ohio Revised Code 311.01 (B)(7), requires the candidates to list dates and history of residence and employment for a period of six years. Thompson said there was a security and investigation firm in Columbus with the name of LYCURGUS that listed Lenhart as a vice president; however, the firm was not listed on the forms returned by the Common Pleas judge. This information came off the Internet. Thompson wondered if the board had all the paperwork from the court and if so why his place of employment was not listed by the candidate. Gibbs questioned if he was an employee of the company or an owner of the company LYCURGUS. Thompson stated he was not questioning the eligibility of Lenhart, but wanted to be sure that the board received all paperwork. Gibbs asked exactly what Thompson was questioning and Thompson indicated he wanted clarification if the documents received were comprehensive and stated that the ORC requires that any place of employment for the last six years be listed. Gibbs stated that the board had already determined candidate eligibility to be on the ballot and that the court only determines if he was a valid candidate. Asher questioned if Lenhart left the information off by mistake or just did not release the information, and if so, did that make a difference in his eligibility. He also wondered if the company was doing governmental work in Shelby County.

Question court Gibbs questioned why Thompson suggested that the elections board should determine if the file is complete. Thompson stated the court should be questioned. Billing will write a letter to the Common Pleas Court and ask if all paperwork was received from the court, if so, why LYCURGUS was not listed. Thompson stated this was not a political motive, but that the board has a statuary responsibility to verify the information. Gibbs strongly disagreed with Thompson that his actions were not politically motivated and that Thompson was totally wrong to bring this up now and not to have chatted with the chair before bringing it to a public meeting. Gibbs stated “that’s just bull ——.” Billing reminded board members of all election dates and times their presence would be required such as presiding judge pickup and helping to set up polling locations. Bills in the amount of $1,230.58 were approved before adjournment.

More than Mentoring

Saints inspire us BY: EMILY HOERSTEN Today, November 1,the Catholic Church celebrates All Saints’ Day to honor both known and unknown saints. Saints we know by name are people throughout history who have been recognized (“canonized”) by the Church as role models for us, but everyone who lives a good life and gets to Heaven is a saint. November 1 is mainly for saints who do not have their own feast days. One popular saint is St. Cecilia. She was martyred for spreading her faith. St. Cecilia was sentenced to suffocation but miraculously survived. She was then sent to be beheaded. The executioner tried to kill her but could not cut through her neck. She lived for three days before dying. Because she studied and performed music, St. Cecilia is the patron saint of music. Appropriately, there is a statue of St. Ceciia in the Instrumental Music room at Statue of St. Cecilia Lehman. Band students often invoke the name of St. Cecilia when saying a group prayer, asking St. Cecilia to pray for them and help them do well in their performance. There are so many saints it is hard to pick a favorite. Lehman Religion Teacher Joe Schmiesing said, “My favorite saint is St. Thomas More because he was a smart guy and a martyr.” St. Thomas More is the patron saint of lawyers. His feast day is on June 22. Junior Patrick Blenman didn’t hesitate when he said, “My favorite saint is St. John Bosco. I like how he helped children, especially those who were abandoned, in jail, or forgotten. He taught them about the faith and taught them skills to get a job.” St. John Bosco’s feast day is on January 31. All Saints’ Day gives us a great opportunity to learn about saints we do not know. We should spend a little more time than usual in prayer to a saint today. The day after All Saints, November 2, is All Souls’ Day. This is when we pray for loved ones and others who have passed away, hoping that they have reached Heaven and become saints. For more about saints, visit www.catholic.org/saints

Y: MADILYN BROWN BY For the past twelve years, the non-profit organization Big Brothers Big Sisters has given high school students the opportunity to make a big impact on the lives of many children. This is through the after-school program known as “Big Buddies.” Big Buddies occurs at three different school sites in Sidney: Whittier, Longfellow, and Northwood. High school students from all over Shelby County participate in this program, including students from Lehman. “We are very pleased to have so many high school students step up and volunteer their time,” said BBBS Executive Director Lisa Brown. “The children that we serve really look up to these students and it is a wonderful program to get high schoolers involved in mentoring others.” In Big Buddies, these teenagers travel to the different school sites where their “littles” wait to be matched with them. These littles come from many different backgrounds and usually don’t have the best home lives. It is the high school students’ job to make them feel important during this one and a half hour time-frame that they spend with them. Success in academics is one of the key components of the program. It is not until after all their homework is complete that the littles can engage in the more fun activities with their bigs. These activities emphasize character building and social skills, while offering these high school students the opportunity to have an impact on the community. As a participant in Big Buddies myself I have learned many things, including responsibility. It has also made me realize how grateful I am for all my blessings. If you enjoy being around kids, or even just want some community service hours, Big Buddies is the perfect extracurricular for you.

Limelight Tour is a “Thriller” BY: JULIA HARRELSON The Lehman Catholic Music Department is kicking off its 35th annual Limelight tour this week. The Cavalier Choir, Limelighters Show Choir, and Combo are spending part of their week traveling to area partner schools where they are performing many songs. Besides singing and dancing, the members get the elementary school students to dance on stage with them, and at the end, the Cavalier Choir says the “Lehman Pitch” while members of the Limelighters sing the fight song quitely in the background. This Limelighters and their director Mrs. Jacque tour is always a huge hit among the future Cavaliers and the Jenkinson get ready for the Halloween show students who perform love it as well! Because of the timing of this year’s tour, the theme for the show is “Halloween.” Both choirs are combining to sing Michael Jackson’s hit “Thriller” and “Witch Doctor” from the movie Alvin and The Chipmunks. In addition, the Limelighters are singing some songs from their contest show including “Eyes Open” by Taylor Swift and “Night to Remember” from the movie High School Musical 3. Olivia Sehlhorst, a second year Limelighter member, loves the show. “I like the songs a lot this year! They are fun to sing and dance, especially the Halloween songs. I love to perform with the other choir because it is fun to dance in a big group! I think all of our practices and hard work have paid off for these performances!” Olivia Gorman, a freshman in Cavalier Choir, is also enjoying the tour. “I think the songs are fun and catchy, so I think the kids are enjoying them,” she said. “Performing together with the show choir is helpful because they know the songs really well. They are a great group of individuals who really know what they are doing so it has been a blast for me!” The tour began with a dress rehersal open to the public at 4:30 on Monday, October 29, in the Lehman Band room. Wednesday, the group traveled to Holy Rosary in St. Marys, Immaculate Conception in Celina, and Holy Angels in Sidney. Friday, they will pick up where they left off, going first to St. Patrick’s in Troy, then St. Mary’s in Greenville, and finally closing out the tour at Piqua Catholic School. Come out and watch the annual tour show as it comes to a close!

Redskins fired up for playoffs FORT LORAMIE — Fort Loramie football fans are starting to become used to added excitement at the end of the football season, thanks to their team becoming an annual participant in the postseason playoffs. The Redskins, who finished the regular season with an 8-2 record, are preparing for the playoffs for the fourth year in a row under head coach Matt Burgbacher. And in the previous three appearances, they’ve done well, winning three and losing three. “It’s exciting right now,” said Burgbacher. “The kids are excited for the opportunity and the community is excited. It’s a good atmosphere around here right now.” By Burgbacher’s own admission, few people thought the Redskins would make a return trip to the postseason this year. The headline over the Loramie story in the annual Fall Sports Preview screamed “Redskins hit hard by graduation.” Burgbacher lost nine starters on offense and eight on defense from last year’s team, and he said this year’s team wasn’t blessed with a lot of size or speed. But he found a way, with the running of Delaunte Thornton and the passing of Seth Guillozet leading the way.

we can be right there.” The Redskins take on Midwest Athletic Conference power St. Henry Friday night on the road to open postseason play. It will be the first meeting between the two

schools in football. For St. Henry, this season marks a resurgence in its football program. They come into the game with a 7-3 record after finishing 3-7 two years ago and 1-9 last year.

Their three losses this season were to MAC powers Coldwater, Marion Local and Delphos St. John’s, all of whom are in the playoffs. “St. Henry is a very good football team,” said Burgbacher. “After the seasons they had the last two years, they’re obviously doing things right. Their quarterback is 6-4, 230 and he can run and throw. So he’s the guy that makes them go and he’s the guy we have to focus on. “Defensively, they just get after it,” he added. “Our kids know what St. Henry can do and what they’re about, and I told them it doesn’t matter what happened in the past. The better team is going to win Friday night, and we have to execute on each play and make the best of every possession.” The players got a bit of a break from contact this week thanks to the lousy weather. Rather than go out into the elements Tuesday, the Redskins practiced in the gym after the volleyball team was through. The Loramie spikers made it to the regional. “We’re healthy right now, and I didn’t think we should go out in the wind and rain Tuesday,” Burgbacher said. “We got back out on the field Wednesday and we’re ready to go.”

Loramie advances to regional final BY ROB KISER AND MELANIE SPEICHER VANDALIA — The Lehman volleyball team has had some amazing comebacks for wins at the D-IV regional volleyball tournament. But, the Fort Loramie volleyball team wasn’t about to let that happen Thursday night at the Vandalia SAC, finishing off a convincing 25-17, 25-22, 2514 win over the Lady Cavaliers. The Lady Redskins will play Marion Local for the regional title at 2 p.m. Saturday. “That’s one of the things we talked about at the start of the third game,” Fort Loramie coach John Rodgers said. “That Lehman is not a team that is ever going to go away. You have to finish them. The girls did a great job night. I thought our outside hitters (Kelly Turner, Darian Rose) were outstanding.” For Lehman, it was a disappointing end to another outstanding season. The Lady Cavaliers, playing in the regional for the 20th straight year, finished 21-6. It was the

final match for four-year starters Andrea Thobe and Ellie Waldsmith. “I thought we had a lot of positives this season,” Lehman coach Greg Snipes said. “We just made some mistakes tonight that are very untypical and Fort Loramie played a great match. Andrea (Thobe) and Ellie (Waldsmith) both leave with a state title. Hopefully, the other girls can learn from them and see how the hard work pays off.” In the opening set, Loramie was leading 7-5 when Loramie had a five-point run with Julie Hoying at the service line. Rose had two kills in the run and suddenly the Lady Redskins were up 12-5. “Normally, we don’t give up any runs,” Snipes said. “And tonight, it seemed like Fort Loramie was able to put together a number of big runs.” Lehman could never get closer than three with, Rose and Turner leading the hitters, the Redskins pulled away for a 25-17 win. “One of the things we talked about was playing our game — not worrying about what

Lehman was doing,” Rodgers said. “We weren’t so concerned about who was hitting the ball for us, we just wanted to make sure we played our game.” In the the second game, the two teams battled evenly throughout. Kills by Olivia Slagle and Erica Paulus (on Ava Schmitz’ serve) pulled Lehman within 23-22. But a serve sailed long and Lehman was unable to return Loramie’s serve at game point. “We had a lot of errors tonight,” Snipes said. “Those are mistakes we just don’t typically make.” Still, Rodgers expected a fight in the third game. “This is definitely a rivalry,” he said. “We have played a number of times in the regional. All the girls know each other. They play JO together.” Another service run by Hoying, finished with an ace, gave Loramie an 11-5 lead and Lehman could never get closer than four. “We played alright the first couple points, then they had some big runs,” Snipes said. “You can’t expect to come back

from way down against a team like Fort Loramie.” Turner and Rose both pounded 12 kills to lead the Lady Redskin hitters. “You know, Kelly (Turner) didn’t even get on our all-conference team,” Rodgers said. “I guess that’s what happens when you beat people — they don’t vote for you. I thought they both had big matches for us tonight.” Hoying dished out 29 assists and served three aces, while Danielle Wehrman had nine digs. Thobe had seven kills and seven digs for Lehman, while Waldsmith added seven kills. Slagle had five kills and two blocks, Paulus had three kills and Ellie Cain dished out 11 assists. “We just never got any offense going,” Snipes said. “It just seemed like we were on the defensive all night.” Jackson Center’s season came to an end Wednesday at the hands of the No. 1 ranked team in the state. Marion Local won 25-17, 25-15, 28-26. “The girls gave it a gallant try, but they fell short,” said

coach Kim Metz. “They played well and had some opportunites, but they couldn’t seal the deal. “I was very proud of the way they held themselves together and they were very composed,” she said. Haley Elchert led the Tigers with 10 kills. Brittany Foster added seven kills. Pauline Meyer had six kills and 12 digs. Courtney Zimpfer had 11 digs. Jayel Frye had 15 assists and eight digs. Courtney Gates had four kills. Brooke Gates had five assists and five digs. Four seniors, Brittany Foster, Kerstin Gasson, Brooke Gates and Madilyn Himmeger, played their final game for the Tigers. “We are a very young squad,” said Metz. “They definately worked through the season to get to this point. Everyone pulled together.” Of their loss to the Flyers, Metz summed it up saying, “Marion Local isn’t the No. 1 team in the state for nothing. This is a fun time of the year. When you get this far, you don’t take anything for granted.”

Garrett Eilerman

Fort Loramie junior Garrett Eilerman has been named the 2012 NWCC Defensive Player of the Year. He was also named to the first team as a defensive lineman. During the season, he had 69 tackles, 11 tackles for a loss, six sacks, two blocked punts, a touchdown return, four fumble recoveries and 12 hurries on the quarterback.

Speed at Texas is important, but so is a good shock and suspension package that allows the car to handle the bumps that have formed in Turns 1, 2 and 3. The exit of two and the entrance of three are the trouble spots, both from a driver’s and a mechanic’s perspective.”

triumph at the track. That ties him with Jeff Gordon for the most among active drivers. Johnson’s win was also his 21st in Chase competition dating back to 2004. That leads the series by a nearly two-to-one margin. Next on the list? Tony Stewart, with 11 Chase victories. Johnson’s chief rivals this season have five (Clint Bowyer, Denny Hamlin) and three (Brad Keselowski) career Chase wins. DECADE OF DOMINANCE Jimmie 2 Johnson’s victory in Martinsville did more than just serve his team’s purpose. With the win, Chevrolet clinched the 2012 Manufacturer’s Championship. The title is the 10th straight for Chevy and 36th overall since 1950. Ford, which last won the award in 2002, is second on the alltime list with 15 titles. COMPETITION After his win 3 TOUGH at Charlotte in the fifth Chase race, Clint Bowyer found himself a managable 28 points out of the lead in the championship standings. A sixth- and fifth-place finish later, Bowyer remains 26 markers out of the lead, proving just how hard it is to make up ground in the Chase. In that time, Jimmie Johnson has finished ninth and first, Brad Keselowski eighth and sixth. INTERLOPING For the third time in as 4 many trips to Martinsville, a Cup Series regular won the Camping World Truck Series event. Denny Hamlin took checkers in Saturday’s Kroger 200. Over the last eight Truck Series races at Martinsville, Hamlin and Kevin Harvick have teamed to win five times. Timothy Peters, Ron Hornaday and Johnny Sauter are the Truck regulars to have broken up the party.

Advantage: Johnson Jimmie Johnson wins again in Martinsville, grabs Chase lead

By MATT TALIAFERRO Athlon Sports Racing Editor

Jimmie Johnson entered Sunday’s Tums Fast Relief 500 at Martinsville Speedway with six career wins at the historic NASCAR facility. So it came as no surprise that the fivetime champion and his No. 48 Hendrick Motorsports team sat on the pole and won the event. What was surprising was that one of his chief championship rivals—Denny Hamlin, himself a multiple-time Martinsville winner—fared so poorly. Hamlin, who boasts four wins in 15 Sprint Cup Series starts at Martinsville, battled through a pair of pit road speeding penalties but still found himself a contender with 130 laps remaining. That—possibly along with his title hopes—came to a “shocking” end, as an electrical issue sidelined his No. 11 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota. The end result: A debilitating 33rd-place finish that finds him a distant 49 points behind the new points leader, Johnson. And, not quite so surprising, there was Brad Keselowski. The 28-yearold entered Sunday’s race the points leader, sitting seven points ahead of Johnson. Keselowski had registered two wins and a 5.66-place average finish through six Chase races to lead the field, a mix of consistency and race wins that seems a rarity in today’s NASCAR. Keselowski’s career stats on the half-mile paperclip weren’t nearly as impressive as Johnson or Hamlin, although—as with all tracks—he has a much smaller sample size to draw from than his veteran foes. This could have been a make-orbreak appearance for Keselowski, who has yet to notch a top-5 run in Martinsville. And starting 32nd on the grid, placing him a half-lap down to Johnson at the drop of the green, was none too encouraging. However, Keselowski and crew chief Paul Wolfe went about their business as they’ve done throughout the Chase, racing against themselves and trusting their strategies. The re-

sult was a solid sixth-place finish that dropped him two points behind Johnson in the championship battle. Certainly not ideal, but with Johnson’s Martinsville record, this showing was all about minimizing the damage for Keselwoski’s No. 2 Penske Racing outfit. “I’m not surprised at all that Jimmie won today,” Keselowski said. “He had a fast car, he had the fastest car all weekend so we need to take the weekends where we’re not the fastest and execute, get solid finishes. We did that this week and last week.” Johnson, in turn, wasn’t surprised by Keselowski’s run through the field, either. “I’ve seen a lot of amazing things out of my competition,” Johnson said. “I’m certainly seeing that with Brad; you can’t count him out. That’s the reason I had that tone in my voice in qualifying—I knew they had a poor qualifying effort, but they would be there when the checkered fell. They’re a good team.”

With an eye on 2013, changes are afoot at Nationwide Standings two struggling organizations.

And then there’s Hamlin, whose JGR organization has been snakebit by mechanical issues in the Chase through the years. “What can you do?” a weary Hamlin asked. “I’ve been in these Chases for seven years and I’ve had my fair share of electrical issues and motor issues and things like that. All I can do is just drive my heart out and if it’s not meant to be, it’s not meant to be.” So with three races remaining in the 2012 season, it would appear to be a two-horse race between the established star in Johnson and the just-meeting-his potential rise of Keselowski. Don’t tell that to either, though. “The next two races will tell the tale,” Johnson said. “Anything can happen. (Keselowski and I) could both wad it up next week and Clint Bowyer is your champion. You never know. You got to go race the race.” Spoken like someone who has been there and done that before.

Luke Lambert, currently the crew chief for Elliott Sadler’s No. 2 RCR Nationwide Series effort, has been named Burton’s crew chief beginning in 2013. JR Motorsports—the Nationwide Series organization coowned by Dale Earnhardt Jr., Rick Hendrick and Kelley Earnhardt Miller—has named Regan Smith as the full-time driver of its No. 5 entry for 2013. Smith most recently served as Earnhardt’s replacement in the No. 88 Chevy on the Sprint Cup circuit when the popular driver was sidelined due to a pair of concussions.

Athlon Fantasy Stall Looking at Checkers: Could Matt Kenseth score a third Chase win this weekend? It’s possible. Pretty Solid Pick: Jimmie Johnson has 13 top-10 finishes in his 18 starts at TMS. Good Sleeper Pick: Mark Martin, in a parttime role, has 13 top 10s in 23 Cup starts in Fort Worth. Runs on Seven Cylinders: Doubt this streak will continue, but Brad Keselowski has zero top 10s in eight Cup starts at TMS. Insider Tip: Fuel mileage could come into play at this big 1.5-mile track. If so, history is thrown out the window and a team like Keselowski’s could prevail.

Jimmie Johnson

Johnson and Brad Keselowski are flip-flopping at the top. It’s safe to assume that this will change at least once more over the next three weeks. Loses points lead to Johnson, but considering his career record at Martinsville (12.2-place average) and Johnson’s, it was at the least a moral victory. Bowyer has finished outside of the top 10 only once in the Chase, and that was due to the mess at the end of the Talladega race. Had he avoided that, this would be a legit three-man race. Was a popular garage-area pick to win at Martinsville. As has been the case throughout the season, though, the 24 team wasn’t able to finish after a strong run throughout the afternoon. Mechanical issues have plagued Joe Gibbs Racing in 2012, but an electrical problem at Martinsville— a track Hamlin has dominated in the past—is far and away the most costly. Kahne has yet to finish worse than 15th in the Chase. Problem is, he has failed to lead meaningful laps or break through to score a win or two. On the other hand, Kenseth has broken through with a pair of wins in the Chase. His lows, however, have been much lower than Kahne’s. The hottest driver not in the Chase, Busch has clicked off four top-5 runs during NASCAR’s playoffs. But who would have guessed that his last Cup win came in late April at Richmond? Hard to figure Stewart’s 27th-place stinker in Martinsville. Of course, it’s hard to figure how he’s all but disappeared in this season’s Chase. Three top 10s in the last four races for Biffle and his band of Pit Bulls. His 10th-place showing at Martinsville was only his third top-10 run at the quaint little oval. A 23rd-place finish at Martinsville is easily his most disappointing of the Chase. Remains in the rankings because the team prepares a solid piece regardless of who’s driving. A 27th at Kansas followed solid fourth- and sixth-place showings. Back on track to the tune of third- and 12th-place finishes after three down weeks. Willing to bet this specific team is doing more 2013 testing than any other on the circuit. Aric Almirola, Dale Earnhardt Jr., Joey Logano, Jamie McMurray, Ryan Newman

Texas Motor Speedway For the second straight year, Dale Earnhardt Jr. was the man to beat at Texas Motor Speedway, but unlike in 2000 — when he scored his first Winston Cup win — it was not to be. Earnhardt was on cruise control until the caution waved with 21 laps remaining in the 2001 Harrah’s 500. A slow pit stop left him lined up ninth on the restart with lapped cars to the inside. Johnny Benson Jr.’s James Ince-led team gambled on two tires during the stop and led the field to green with 19 laps to go. He held off a snarling pack consisting of Jeff Gordon, Kurt Busch, Dave Blaney, Dale Jarrett and Steve Park for 13 laps until Jarrett powered by off of Turn 2. Jarrett pulled away from there, beating Park to the line by .703 seconds. Earnhardt finished a disappointing eighth.

Family ties run deep for OSU’s Spencer BY JIM NAVEAU Civitas Media jnaveau@limanews.com

AP Photo/Gene J. Puskar

OHIO STATE wide receiver Evan Spencer (16) makes a catch as he is hit by Penn State cornerback Adrian Amos (4) during the third quarter of an NCAA college football game in State College, Pa., Saturday. Ohio State won 35-23.

COLUMBUS — Evan Spencer has been around Ohio State football longer than his teammates, almost as long as he has been alive. His dad, Tim, was a star running back for the Buckeyes in the early 1980s, then was an OSU assistant coach from 1994-2003. His parents met at Ohio State. His first appearance in an OSU football media guide was as a 1-yearold, sitting on his mom’s lap in a family photo. Spencer, a sophomore wide receiver, matched his personal season-high with three catches in Ohio State’s 35-23 win over Penn State last Saturday and had two catches against Purdue. Before that, he had not had a catch in four games after pulling in five in the first three games. “I’ve been around the Buckeyes my whole life.

Probably my best memory is the national championship, being able to be out on the field with my dad, my mom, my brother,” Spencer said. “To this day, I still get chills thinking about it.” Tim Spencer, who played five years in the NFL, has been a Chicago Bears assistant coach since 2004. “I try to talk to him every day, especially after games,” Evan Spencer said. “After he gives me his criticism on my games, I’ll watch the Bears games and give him criticism on what they did wrong. So it’s a two-way street. “It means so much, it helps me so much on a day-to-day basis, whenever I’m going through something, calling him and having him be there for me and help me through stuff. And my mom, as well,” he said. Last season as a Spencer freshman, caught three passes for 78 yards, including a 33yard touchdown catch against Michigan State.

This season, he has 10 catches for 118 yards and has made OSU’s coaches more confident in him as the season has gone on. “He’s gotten better every week but he was never a guy I didn’t count on” Ohio State receivers coach Zach Smith said. “He has improved his value in the program and our confidence in how we feel about him. Now he’s a guy where I say, ‘I know he will make the play, I know he will run a great route, that he will get open and catch the football.’ “As opposed to a guy who would clap his hands and say, ‘Oh shoot, my bad,’ now he is a guy who is really hard on himself in practice and is critical of himself. Now he is performing at a different level. He is running better routes, he’s blocking better,” he said. Spencer said there is no complicated explanation for his growth on the football field. “I’m just busting my

butt. I made it a point, especially this year, to bust my butt and do everything I can – watch extra film, do whatever is necessary to better myself,” he said. “After every season, my dad and I sit down and talk about things I could improve on, to do better at this, to get better at that.” That determination doesn’t come from his father alone. His mom, Gilda, is an attorney who flies back and forth from Chicago to Columbus for her job as chief litigation counsel for Nationwide Insurance. Earlier this year in a story in Columbus Business First, Gilda Spencer told how an academic adviser at Ohio State tried to get her to abandon her hopes of going to law school and said she should consider becoming a paralegal. “She discouraged me from doing that and suggested I become a paralegal. I took that as a personal challenge,” she said in the story.

Bengals coach challenges Dalton, Maualuga BY JOE KAY The Associated Press CINCINNATI (AP) — Bengals coach Marvin Lewis publicly challenged quarterback Andy Dalton and middle linebacker Rey Maualuga on Wednesday to become more forceful leaders on their 3-4 team. The move was out of character for Lewis, who prefers to handle things quietly and internally. It underscored the Bengals’ predicament approaching the season’s midpoint — it’s time to start winning or else. wallowed “We’ve around here in mediocrity,” Lewis said. “Let’s go. That’s the thing we’ve got to do.” Cincinnati has lost three in a row heading into home games against the Denver Broncos (4-3)

and the Super Bowl champion New York Giants (6-2). The Bengals went 9-7 and got a wild card berth last season, when Dalton was a rookie and Maualuga was in his first season at middle linebacker. With this season starting to slip away, Lewis challenged the two young players — Maualuga is in his fourth season overall — to step up. “We’re looking for our quarterback and our middle linebacker to take hold of our football team, and I think that’s important for us,” Lewis said. “I think both guys are such good people, that you’ve got to be a little bit of a (jerk). You do. “Andy has a great deal of confidence, selfconfidence, internal confidence, confidence in

the guys around him. But at some point you step out of your skin and you go. And it’s time to go.” Lewis’ comments weren’t off-the-cuff. He said essentially the same things during a conference call with writers in Denver, making a point to challenge the quarterback and the linebacker. Lewis has defended Maualuga as the defense struggled this season. The linebacker said he feels he has the support of Lewis and defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer. He accepted Lewis’ comments as a challenge to become a more vocal. “So I guess it is my opportunity — not like it was never given to me but at the same time, time to be a jerk, time to get in the middle of that defense and start spicing

things up and get everybody running around and be on the same page,” Maualuga said. “A quote that coach (Lewis) gave me before I came to the facility: ‘The rate of the pack is determined by the speed of the leader.’ “So I think the quicker I get things going, the quicker I get things riled up, the more people will buy into it and the more we can get things started and get going. I love the opportunity and the challenge, so I’ll give it everything I’ve got.” Dalton was reluctant to assume a leadership role last season, when he was a rookie learning the offense as he went along. He left it up to other veterans to take charge, concentrating on what he had to do to learn the position.

Lewis wants Dalton to start taking a bigger role in making sure everyone on the offense is doing things correctly. “The natural progression of it,” Dalton said. “As a rookie, you come in and you are meeting new people. Now, second year, it is your offense. It is your team. That is how I’ve got to treat it. “He just wants some fire out there, making sure we are perfect in practice in everything we are doing. I am not too worried about what he said. It’s just he expects a lot out of us.” The coaching staff talked to him during the bye week about taking on a more prominent role. “We’re looking for Andy to take the next step of being the leader of this football team,” Lewis said. “A confident,

vocal (leader) if it needs to be, but grab this football team by the back of its neck and let’s go. Let’s move forward.” Notes: DT Pat Sims returned to practice Wednesday on a threeweek roster exemption. Sims hasn’t played because of a hamstring injury on July 26th. He can practice for three weeks before the Bengals have to decide whether to add him to the 53-man active roster. … C Kyle Cook will have a pin removed from his right ankle within the next week, giving the Bengals a better idea of whether he’ll be able to return this season. He hurt the ankle in the final preseason game. He went on the injured reserve list with the option of returning during the season if he’s healthy.

Alomar staying with Indians — for now CLEVELAND (AP) — Sandy Alomar Jr. will become a major league manager someday. For now, he is staying with the Cleveland Indians. Alomar, the bench coach who served as the club’s interim manager for six games after Manny Acta was fired in September, will return next season as new manager Terry Francona’s bench coach. Toronto, Colorado and Miami all have managerial vacancies but Alomar isn’t publicly campaigning for any of them or counting on an interview. “I don’t sit at the phone waiting for calls,” Alomar said. “If they want to interview me, they know where I am at. Right now, I am the bench coach with Terry Francona and the Cleveland Indians.” There is a chance Alomar could still leave, but Francona hopes that isn’t the case. “Selfishly,” Francona said. “I hope he stays here.” Francona’s coaching staff, a blend of experience and familiarity, was revealed Wednesday by the Indians, who also announced they exercised their option on pitcher Ubaldo Jimenez’s $5.75 million contract for next season. Also, the team declined its $13 million op-

tion for designated hitter Travis Hafner and a $6 million option for starter Roberto Hernandez. General manager Chris Antonetti indicated it was unlikely the club would re-sign Hafner, a power hitter who has been slowed by injuries for several seasons. However, the Indians might pursue Hernandez, whose 2012 season was tangled in a legal mess in the Dominican Republic, where he was charged with false identity. “We would have interest in bringing him back if he had interest in signing here,” Antonetti said. Hernandez, previously known as Fausto Carmona, made just three starts in August before his season was ended by an injured right ankle. In addition to Alomar, Francona named former Houston manager Brad Mills as his third-base coach and dipped into the Indians’ minor-league system to make Mike Sarbaugh the first-base coach, and Mickey Callaway pitching coach. Sarbaugh managed Cleveland’s Triple-A affiliate in Columbus the past three seasons, and Callaway served as minor league pitching coordinator in 2012, his third season in the organization.

Offensive line, scheme keeps Big Ben clean

Bucs’ McCutchen wins Gold Glove BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BY WILL GRAVES AP Sports Writer PITTSBURGH (AP) — Ben Roethlisberger is running out of things to complain about. In a good way. perennially The banged-up Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback — who never met an injury he didn’t try to shake off — is spending less time running around the pocket and more time watching his receivers and running backs do the work in offensive coordinator Todd Haley’s shortpassing game. Call it “dink and dunk.” Call it a “Three Rivers” version of the West Coast offense. Whatever it is, it’s keeping Roethlisberger’s jersey clean and the Steelers humming. “We have an offense that’s working right now, that’s all that matters,” wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders said. “No matter how we put up points, that’s what matters at the end of the day. It doesn’t matter what the offense is called.” At the moment, “hot” comes to mind. The Steelers (4-3) have won two straight heading into Sunday’s game against the New York Giants (6-2) and Roethlisberger is thriving. He’s on pace to set career highs in attempts, completions, touchdowns and quarterback rating. Funny how that happens when you’re upright. Haley’s system encourages the quarterback to get rid of the ball quickly to take the sting out of the pass rush, and after some very public growing pains — Roethlisberger was constantly under duress in the season opener against Denver — things have started to click. Near the season’s midway point, Roethlisberger has been sacked just 13 times and is getting dragged down just once every 22 pass attempts. Compare that to his career average of one sack every 11 pass attempts and Pittsburgh’s offseason plan to keep its franchise quarterback healthy appears to be working. Other than the typical bumps and bruises, the closest Roethlisberger has come to an actual injury is the sprained right ankle he sustained a couple weeks ago when he stepped on a lineman’s foot in practice.

SAN FRANCISCO Giants CEO Larry Baer (left) laughs after being presented the key to the city and a gold broom from San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee (right) during the baseball team’s World Series victory celebration at City Hall, Wednesday in San Francisco. The team’s second championship in three years included a parade along Market Street and ended with a celebration in front of City Hall.

San Francisco goes orange, black for Giants parade SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Ecstatic baseball fans packed the streets of San Francisco on Wednesday for a confettidrenched parade and rally honoring the World Series champion Giants — a Halloween treat made even sweeter as a repeat performance from 2010. Tens of thousands of people decked out in the team’s holiday-appropriate orange and black stood 30 deep behind barriers, climbed trees, camped out overnight and mounted rooftops for a chance to see their favorite players wave from convertibles and get serenaded by Tony Bennett singing “I Left My Heart in San Francisco.” Giants Manager Brice Bochy, who hoisted the World Series trophy from the back of a gold Rolls Royce during most of the 1 1/2-mile procession, credited fans and his players’ “unselfish play” for helping to lift San Francisco to its second World Series victory in three years, an improbable double play for a franchise that had not won the title since 1954. “In 2010, we characterized the club as misfits that came together and got it done,” Bochy told the roaring hordes gathered for the rally in Civic Center Plaza. He said the tagline of the 2012 Giants was “never say die,” a reference to

the team’s come-frombehind, post-season dominance. “I thank you for always being there, for never giving up,” he said. “Thank you for showing up wherever we’ve been and making this one of the greatest moments of my life.” As with the 2010 parade, this year’s two-hour edition drew a cross-section of the region’s diversity, from children who were allowed to skip school to older couples who had been Giants fans since the team arrived in San Francisco from New York in 1958. Series MVP Pablo Sandoval, who swatted three home runs in his first three at bats in Game 1, and second baseman Marco Scutaro, who batted in the winning run of the game that clinched the title, addressed the throngs at the rally in Spanish. “This is the second, but there are going to be a lot more,” Sandoval said, expressing special thanks to the Bay Area’s Latino community. “You should enjoy this and feel this in your hearts.” Casandra Buenrostro, 25, who arrived at the plaza at 5 a.m. so she could get pictures of Sandoval, did. “He made me cry,” Buenrostro said. “He’s an inspiration.” Earlier in the day, clouds of black, orange

and white confetti were shot from cannons positioned on roofs and along the canyon-like, skyscraper-lined street. It showered spectators and parade participants, who included legendary Giants alumni Willie Mays, Willie McCovey and Juan Marichal and politicians such as House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi. The unifying energy of the Giants’ latest victory was evident as San Francisco 49ers quarterback Alex Smith drove the car carrying Giants pitcher Matt Cain and his family, while 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh did the honors for the Giants’ Brandon Belt. The convertibles gave fans clean views along the parade route that began at the foot of Market Street near San Francisco Bay and ended on the steps of City Hall, across from the overflowing plaza. Star reliever Sergio Romo, wearing a T-shirt that read, “I just look illegal,” whipped the roaring crowd into a frenzy when he got out of his convertible and mingled. “It’s unbelievable! Unbelievable! Just great!” said fired-up right fielder Hunter Pence, who was acquired in a midseason deal and led pregame pep talks. At the rally, Pence persuaded his teammates to jump around the stage to demonstrate the ritual.

J.J. Hardy thought he’d hit a home run, only to be robbed when Mike Trout made one of the most sensational grabs of the season. On Tuesday night, Hardy caught a break. The Baltimore shortstop won a Gold Glove, putting him among a group of nine players honored for the first time for their fielding excellence. “It means a lot to me,” said Hardy, in his eighth big league season. “It’s definitely an award I always hoped to get and never really expected to get. I’m surprised and honored at the same time.” Pittsburgh center fielder Andrew McCutchen, San Diego third baseman Chase Headley and Oakland right fielder Josh Reddick also were first-time selections. “I’m just happy I can pull it out for them and get the A’s name even more out there,” Reddick said. “It’s a huge honor, I’m always taking pride in both sides of my game and trying to be a complete player. You never know what one play, whether the first or the ninth inning, is going to win a ballgame. That’s what my mother and father taught me.” Headley, who had a breakout year with the bat, said he and Padres coach Glenn Hoffman, a former major league shortstop, talked during spring training about improving his defense. “The foundation was laid there,” Headley said. “Obviously it’s nice when you get the results when you focus on something. … Your pitcher counts on you to make routine plays each and every time. I was able to do a better job this year.” The Orioles were the only team with three winners. Baltimore center fielder Adam Jones and catcher Matt Wieters were second-time choices, joining Hardy for the awards chosen by major league managers and coaches and presented by Rawlings. Trout, the Angels rookie center fielder who spent the year climbing walls to take away potential homers, was not picked. Among his best catches came against Hardy at Camden Yards in June. The San Francisco Giants, fresh off winning a World Series in which they excelled with their gloves, did not have a

Gold Glover. These were the first major awards presented during the offseason, and the MVPs, Cy Youngs and others will come in mid-November. Gold Gloves always seem to raise a ruckus, with many claiming the prizes - actual gloves colored gold - don’t define the most deserving fielders. Hardy led the AL in fielding percentage, making only six errors in 158 games. Others relying on more advanced metrics and insist Seattle’s Brendan Ryan was the best shortstop - then again, even though awards are strictly for fielding, players who don’t produce at the plate often get bypassed, and Ryan hit a weak .194. Hardy hit 22 home runs. “I’ve always hoped but I never expected it,” Hardy said. “It’s definitely an award I’ve seen a lot of shortstops get that are really flashy and kind of catch the eye of a lot of people. I don’t look at myself that way. I kind of look at myself as just trying to be consistent and steady. I never felt like people noticed.” Wieters, meanwhile, was chosen despite leading AL catchers with 10 errors. He was recognized for the many things he does well - he threw out 39 percent of would-be basestealers and rarely let pitches get past him. Strong-armed St. Louis catcher Yadier Molina won for the fifth straight year and Yankees first baseman Mark Teixeira added his fifth award. Texas third baseman Adrian Beltre, Philadelphia shortstop Jimmy Rollins and Miami pitcher Mark Buehrle became fourtime winners.

Scuggs still looking for win OWINGS MILLS, Md. (AP) — Terrell Suggs didn’t rush his return from a torn right Achilles tendon just to prove he has remarkable recuperative powers. No, the Baltimore Ravens linebacker pushed himself through the rehabilitative process because he wanted to help the team win. And in that regard, Suggs emerged from his first game back with a feeling of disappointment.

TOKYO (AP) — Having the world’s highest percentage of older people is creating unique challenges for Japan, but a report released Monday by the U.N. Population Fund warns that they will not be unique for long. Japan is the only country with 30 percent of its population over 60, but by 2050 more than 60 other countries, from China to Canada to Albania, will be in the same boat. The report urges governments to summon the political will to protect the elderly and ensure they can age with good health and dignity.

In honor of Veteran’s Day, Dorothy Love Retirement Community has offered an AARP Driver Safety Program to all veterans, their spouses, widows, and family members for free Nov. 13. Crowded roads, aggressive drivers, and even eyesight that is not what it used to be can spell trouble on the road. That is why the Dorothy Love Retirement Community, 3003 W. Cisco Road, sponsors the AARP Driver Safety Program. A complimentary lunch will be served at noon and the program will start at 12:30 p.m. This is a refresher course designed especially for drivers 50 and over. Any veteran, veteran’s spouse, widow, or family member may participate for free; one does not have to be 50 or a member of AARP. The instructor for this course will be Lu Ann Presser, who said, “There is no driving, and no written test to hand in. It is a good way to refresh your driving skills.” Newly updated and revised, the AARP Driver Safety Program helps to meet the challenges faced daily on today’s roads. In lively discussion groups participants will learn: • Defensive driving techniques, new traffic laws and rules of the road.

The show is open to the public, and admission is $6 for adults and $4 for students at the door.

ARLO & JANIS

HOROSCOPE BY FRANCES DRAKE For Friday, Nov. 2, 2012 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) This is a willy-nilly, loosey-goosey day, which is why shortages, interruptions and goofy mistakes are par for the course. Nevertheless, you’ll enjoy talking to others. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) This is a poor day for important financial negotiations. Don’t spend money on anything except food. Don’t sign important documents. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) In a way, this is a pleasant day for you; although, you might feel disoriented. Don’t agree to deadlines or make promises to anyone. Don’t initiate anything. (Just tread water.) CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Keep to your routine tasks today and expect minor interruptions and shortages. You might want to change your mind about something. If so, wait until tomorrow to see if this is really what you want. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Enjoy good times with female acquaintances today. Laugh it up, and keep things light. Don’t agree to anything important. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) People in authority will notice you today — ideally, for something positive. (You hope.) Just be aware of this. Do not agree to anything important, and do not agree to set deadlines. Listen to others and make up your mind tomorrow. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) You’ll be delighted if you can do something different today, because you don’t want to be bored. Therefore, break with your normal routine. Shake it up a little! SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) This is a poor day for important financial negotiations regarding inheritances, wills, estates or signing anything about shared property or debt. Delay these actions until tomorrow. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Because there is a goofy element in the air today, you’ll enjoy lighthearted exchanges with partners and friends. However, avoid important commitments or agreements. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) This is a mildly frustrating day at work. Shortages, misunderstandings and delays will really impact your efficiency and productivity. Just be patient. Lower your expectations. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) This is a wonderfully creative day for you! It’s easy to put a new spin on things or see them in a new light. Enjoy romantic liaisons, sports and playful times with children. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) This is a lovely day to day to veg out at home and just relax. Entertain at home if you can. Do not sign real-estate deals today. YOU BORN TODAY Many of you undergo great change and transformation in your lives. Whether you seek to or not, you often have influence over others. In your personal life or your vocation, you are often very focused on money, power and sex. In the year ahead, something you’ve been involved with for about nine years will diminish or end to make room for something new. Birthdate of: k.d. Lang, musician, Marie Antoinette, Queen of France; David Schwimmer, actor. (c) 2012 King Features Syndicate, Inc.

Nov. 1, 1912 Sidney was visited by a disastrous fire about 10:30 last night, when the interior of the Thedieck Department Store on the north side of the square was badly damaged by flames. The fire was discovered by Brook Getz who observed smoke coming from the windows on the second floor as he was walking past the street. The fire seemed to center on the second floor of the building and it was here that most of the damage occurred. There was also some damage to the third floor and water dripping through to the first floor caused some damage, although most of the stock was covered with oilcloth. The fire is believed to have started from crossed wires near the elevator. Mr. Thedieck this morning placed his loss between $40,000 and $50,000 pointing out that much of the holiday stock had already been received. He praised the work of the fire department. For a time, it appeared the entire building was doomed. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Thedieck were the last persons in the store in the evening and they reported that when they left at 9:30 everything seemed to be all right. ––––– A large crowd of enthusiastic scholars greeted Stanley Young at Sexauer’s hall last night, it being the opening of Young’s dancing academy. Plans are to have the meetings each Friday evening.

Nov. 1, 1937 The H. & H. Food Market which has been operated on North Main Avenue for the past six months, more recently under the name of Hardy’s Food Market, has quit business in Sidney and the stock moved to another location out of the city. ––––– “Uncle Sam’s boys” at the local post office will back any hunting story of G.E. Sturm for they had evidence of the success of the recent elk hunting party he was on near Pig Piney, Wyoming — the evidence in the form of an elk dinner served in the Kiwanis dining room of the Ohio Building.

50 years Nov. 1, 1962 HOUSTON — The Hardin Houston Future Farmers of America Chapter has had to get along recently without the services of its advisor, Brooks Ware, vo-ag teacher at the school. Ware was hospitalized recently for surgery and has been convalescing recently at his home. A substitute has been filling his place capably. The FFA chapter held a Greenhand initiation on Oct. 15 and a dance on Oct. 20. Both events were successful. ––––– Millard Dresback, R.R. 2, Sidney, was dismissed today from Wilson Memorial Hospital where he was admitted Thursday evening after he fell from a pear tree at his home.

Whether posting or responding to an advertisement, watch out for offers to pay more than the advertised price for the item. Scammers will send a check and ask the seller to wire the excess through Western Union (possibly for courier fees). The scammer's check is fake and eventually bounces and the seller loses the wired amount. While banks and Western Union branches are trained at spotting fake checks, these types of scams are growing increasingly sophisticated and fake checks often aren't caught for weeks. Funds wired through Western Union or MoneyGram are irretrievable and virtually untraceable.
