4 seek city school board seats

BY JENNIFER BUMGARNER jbumgarner@sdnccg.com Four candidates are seeking three open positions on the Sidney City Board of Education, while a single candidate seeks to complete the unexpired term of Tom Schaffer, who resigned.

The Board of Education consists of five elected and one standing member, that being the district treasurer. Normally, the elected positions are for four-year terms and are staggered every two years, meaning that three positions are up for election one year and the remaining two are elected two years later. Each term begins Jan. 1 and ends Dec. 31. However, due to Shaffer’s resignation there will be four members chosen in Tuesday’s election.

Seeking the three open seats are William Warner Jr., Melanie Cook, Darrell Spangler and Kelly Rees, all of Sidney.

Cook is currently president of the school board and Spangler is vice president. They have each served one term. Rees has been a member of board for two terms. Warner is the only newcomer running. Steve Smith was appointed by the board to fill Shaffer’s seat. Smith had previously been on the board from 2006 through 2010.

Candidates were sent a variety of questions on local issues

Vote

Cook relating to the schools and to education. Smith declined to answer the questions, however, since he is unopposed. He noted he “would like the public to know that I can be reached at my home phone, listed in phone book, or by email, found on school website, if they have any questions or concerns they would like to talk to me about.”

The following are answers by the other four candidates to questions posed by the Sidney Daily News.

1. What do you see as the Sidney City School District’s strengths and how can they be maximized?

Cook: Strengths of the district include the ability to offer a wider variety of opportunities to students as compared to smaller school districts in the area. We have eight AP classes along with 20 dual enrollment courses to help maximize a student’s ability to qualify for college scholarships and get the

most bang for their education dollars. We are highly competitive in several sports in the GWOC, putting our athletes in the limelight with several of them having been awarded scholarships for college based on their athletic abilities. We have an award-winning music department comprised of orchestra, choir and concert band with a growing marching band program and we have recently added a show choir a la “Glee.”

There are numerous clubs at all grade levels for students to participate in with focuses on community service as well as areas of personal interest to the student. These opportunities can be maximized first by parents and students finding out what they are and then choosing the ones that best fit. There’s a place for every student to thrive and flourish in Sidney City Schools.

Rees: Our staff is our biggest strength. We have a

Warner

staff of caring teachers, administrators, secretaries, maintenance workers, bus drivers and volunteers who genuinely want the students to learn and be successful, and are willing to go that extra mile to make sure they do. We need to make sure these people have the tools in place to make this happen. Another strength is the diversity of our students. We live in a global economy with the world becoming smaller. The more our students learn about and understand different cultures, the better they will be able to succeed in a constantly changing future.

Spangler: Our strengths are our staff which includes our administrators, teachers, department managers, maintenance staff, custodians, bus drivers, cooks, aides and our volunteers. Due to the unfortunate economic times we are currently experiencing, these See BOARD/Page 2A

PUBLIC RECORD

Sidney Daily News,Thursday, November 3, 2011

BOARD employees have had to step up do more to provide a sound educational environment for our students with much less. And they are doing it remarkably well. Also, I think we have a strong superintendent who is committed to seeing our schools through these hard times.

Warner: Our diversity and size. We are a small town with diverse people and thoughts. It may be trite to say that we have great and generous people, but having recently visited hundreds in the community, I will say it.

Within a short distance, we can offer everything from rural to cosmopolitan. Being larger than the outlying schools, we can offer a wider range of programs and opportunities as outlined in the “Why Choose Sidney City Schools” brochure. We have witnessed our employees make financial concessions and work together to make the transition to the k-5 model. We can brainstorm additional ways to showcase our strengths. When we have an advantage, it usually takes just a little more effort to become superior.

2. What do you see as the school district’s weaknesses and how can they be improved upon?

Rees: Volatility in the leadership in Columbus along with the number of administrative changes we have had over the past few years is a large problem we need to overcome.

I believe we are already on the road to improvement with the hiring of Mr. Scheu. He is dedicated to the students and the community and I believe he has the ability to move this school district in the right direction.

Spangler: Weaknesses are the same as most other public schools starting with the draining away of funding by the state and the elimination of the tangible personal property tax. One possible consideration would be to find another income stream that would not place as much burden on property owners.

Warner: Our diversity and size gives us unique challenges. We all need to make the extra effort to celebrate our diversity and refresh the neighborly concept. Our public school system is a critical part of our foundation for nurturing and must be a high priority for our community. Our school district can be improved by all in our community recommitting to deliber-

Sidney City Board of Education Term: Four years. (Steve Smith is running to finish out Tom Shaffer’s term that has two years remaining.)

Base salary: $125 per meeting, paid for a maximum of 12 meetings per year.

Duties: Evaluate how policies have been implemented and their general effectiveness. The board will rely on the school staff, students and community to provide evidence of the effect of the policies it has adopted. ate and civil communication in the spirit of helping and not let differences stand in the way of solutions. We need to show that we have a vision to become world class, as challenging as that may be. The obvious academic weakness is discussed in the next question and the fiscal responsibilities are addressed after that. I do not have a list of other specific weaknesses, however, by collectively addressing them, we might turn them into strengths.

One thing that continues to haunt our community is the economic climate.

There are many empty houses and people who are unemployed and those at the end of their financial rope. All of us need to continue to be sensitive to this as we plan ahead.

Cook: There has been a high turnover in administration in the last four years creating a sense of not knowing what to expect from the school district. With the hiring of John Scheu, a longtime resident of Sidney and former employee of the district as a basketball coach, teacher, assistant principal at Bridgeview and principal at Emerson Elementary, we look forward to being led by someone who not only cares deeply about our community and our schools, but also has the skills and experience to do an excellent job as superintendent.

3.

The Sidney Schools dropped one level in the recent State Report Card.

What can be done to improve this score?

Spangler: That score reflects problems at particular grade levels, and we are presently focusing on those through the efforts of our leadership in those buildings as well as in the curriculum. Additionally, since we were accepted as a Race to the Top school, representatives from all over the district have been meeting for more than a year to improve curriculum as

well as teacher evaluation. All of these efforts should help address those test scores.

Warner: The first priority is to take extra effort to hold our Excellent positions at Whittier, Longfellow and Emerson so these commendable achievements do not slip away.

The second priority, which is virtually as important as the first, is to raise the level for the remaining This is buildings. presently a high priority for SCS and we need to keep on task through disciplined reporting.

Cook: Several things are in the works to remedy this as soon as possible, including contacting school districts similar to ours that have received a rating of Excellent. We will be looking at what those districts are doing compared to what we are doing and changing what we do to emulate the successful practices of others.

In addition the administrative and teaching staff have been meeting together for test data analysis with the goal of improving both the curriculum and test scores.

Rees: Sidney City Schools takes this report card very seriously. Our administration and staff are looking at specific areas that dropped and are working on plans to address these. I am confident that the plans put in place will improve the identified areas.

4. What can the board do to convince voters that the schools are being fiscally responsible?

Warner: It is so important that we continue to work on this. With over $6 million in cumulative cuts and the reduction of salaries and fringe benefits to 74.32 percent of our expenditures, the commitment to cost control is clear. Further, the commitment to cost control going forward is the mindset. It is now a matter of continuing to convey this commitment and gain the trust that has been earned.

Cook: The board can maintain transparency in all fiscal issues and encourage the voters to call the Board of Education office whenever they have questions regarding something they have heard or are concerned about. In these economic times the most important thing to do is to run our district on the current level of funds and not ask for any additional operating funds. To do this we have reduced annual expenses by several million dollars by closing schools and reducing staff along with the recent contract negotiations netting a 6 percent reduction in pay and benefits paid by the school district to all staff for this year and no pay increases of any kind for the next three years. We have changed the structure of the school district to more effectively educate our students with a reduced staff by changing our elementary buildings to all k-5 buildings, moved from the teaming approach to the junior high model at the middle school, and reduced the number of class periods See BOARD/Page 13A

FRAUD 866 S. Main Ave., and charged him with two counts of forgery, felonies of the fifth degree, and one county of driving on a suspended driver’s license, a first-degree misdemeanor.

Christina Barga, 41, 866 S. Main Ave., received a traffic citation for one count of wrongful entrustment, a first-degree misdemeanor. The traffic citations were a result of an undercover operation conducted prior to the search warrant relating to suspicions that the Barga’s were operating an illegal taxi cab.

The search warrant was a result of a cooperative investigation among the three agencies relating to fraud crimes of counterfeiting money, counterfeiting checks, theft by deception and operating an illegal taxi service. Recovered and seized during the search were counterfeit checks, computers, and documents related to counterfeiting and illegal operation of a taxi service, authorities said.

As part of the theft-bydeception element of the investigation, investigators are reviewing a YouTube posting, www.youtube.com/watch? v=4UFEwcZP9Yw. In the

In the video, Barga allegedly says his wife died of breast cancer on Christmas Eve and that he needed help for his two children in order to keep the family together. He identifies himself as “Josh” on the video.

Because his wife is alive, the Shelby County Sheriff’s Office is working with Internet providers to determine if any money had been sent to the Bargas as a result of the posting.

The investigation into the fraudulent activities and operating an illegal taxi cab is ongoing and facts surrounding the incidents are being reviewed by the Shelby County Prosecutor for additional charges on both individuals.

This warrant execution was a result of a lengthy and cooperative investigative effort from the Sidney Police Department, Shelby County Sheriff’s Office, and the Secret Service.

Anyone with information in regard to these incidents is encouraged to call 498-2351 or Crime Stoppers at 498-Tips.

Local Honda plants cut back ANNA — Honda of America Manufacturing’s Anna Engine and Russells Point Transmission plants will be following the automaker’s corporate decision to temporarily cut U.S. and Canadian production 50 percent, Ron Lietzke, media relations manager, said Wednesday.

The decision, Lietzke explained, results from parts shortages attributed to three months of catastrophic flooding in Thailand.

The reductions come just as Honda was recovering from the March 11 earthquake and tsunami in Japan and will last from Wednesday at least through Nov. 10 as Honda tries to find alternate sources for microprocessors that are made in Thailand.

Most affected by the parts shortage are the Honda’s Civic compact and CR-V model autos.

Honda will be adjust-

ing auto production at all six auto plants in North America, with the adjustments trickling down to all parts supplying facilities. All Saturday and overtime work will be canceled through the month of November.

As in the past, Honda will be minimizing the decision’s impact to its associates and their families, Lietzke emphasized.

Nonproduction days will be treated as “no pay, no penalty,” meaning associates may report to work, use a vacation day or take the day off without compensation or penalty.

Fed by heavy monsoon rains and tropical storms, the Thailand floods have killed 381 people and affected more than a third of the country’s provinces.

Seven submerged industrial areas house factories of global companies, including Honda, Toshiba and Western Digital.

Pay of public workers scrutinized in union fight

BY JULIE CARR SMYTH Associated Press COLUMBUS (AP) — Wildly conflicting estimates make it difficult to determine how public and private pay compares in Ohio, and millions are flocking to new online salary tools to peek at the salaries of governmentpaid friends, neighbors and politicians.

Bitter salary wars — over how much public workers are paid, for what, and by whom — are a key element in the debate over a new collective bargaining law signed this spring.

The union-limiting measure is facing a nationally watched repeal effort that culminates Tuesday. The law appears on the ballot as Issue 2. It was signed by Republican Gov. John Kasich this spring has fueled a $30 million-plus ballot fight over the bargaining abilities of 350,000 police, firefighters, teachers and other government workers.

Backers have sought to enlighten voters on the pay and benefits underwritten by taxpayers, in reports and TV advertising pitting government workers against “the rest of us.”

Opponents have fought back by emphasizing Kasich’s own $148,000-ayear salary, raises

Animal costs given COLUMBUS (AP) — An Ohio sheriff says the cost of handling the escape of dozens of dangerous wild animals from a private compound last month cost his agency about $8,500, the first cost estimate to emerge from the event.

The costs include actual overtime and the cost to the department of time off some officers took instead of overtime, Muskingum County Sheriff Matt Lutz said Wednesday.

He said such unexpected costs are tough in tight fiscal times.

“It does create a burden when you have to pay that kind of money out in overtime for incidents that you wish wouldn’t happen,” Lutz told The Associated Press.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Air Force says it’s cutting 9,000 civilian jobs in a cost-saving move and expects to eliminate another 4,500 later.

In a move reflecting budget pressures on the entire military, the Air Force said Wednesday that over the next 12 months it will reorganize some U.S.-based organizations. That includes the Air Force Materiel Command at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio, which employs 39 percent of Air Force civilians.

The moves will cut 9,000 civilian positions in management, staff and support at several bases. The Air Force says separately it plans to add 5,900 positions in higher-priority areas like weapons buying, nuclear weapons management and intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance.

House to vote on map COLUMBUS (AP) — The Ohio House will return to Columbus on Thursday to vote on a revised congressional map that the chamber’s Republican leader says will address the concerns of Democrats, who have been seeking a repeal of a newly adopted map they say unfairly favors the GOP. The compromise plan would also reinstitute a single primary in 2012, rather than separate March and June contests approved by lawmakers.

House Speaker William Batchelder’s spokesman, Mike Dittoe, said Wednesday that it was unclear whether there would be enough votes to pass the new map, but the speaker felt the time had come.

The rape and extortion case had not yet been to trial, as action on it had been delayed pending the outcome of the other case. In that case, Seitz was convicted in May of one count of attempted murder, one count of felonious assault and three counts of kidnapping.

Shelby County Common Pleas Judge James F. Stevenson overturned the verdict and granted Seitz a new trial in August, following testimony by three jurors in the original case stating the judge’s admonishments to avoid reading or viewing anything about the ongoing trial had been disobeyed and had influenced their decision to find Seitz guilty.

Lohan to go back to jail LOS ANGELES (AP) — A judge made Lindsay Lohan’s world a lot smaller Wednesday, ordering the long-troubled actress confined to a jail cell for 30 days and to the state of Lohan California when she is released.

The sentence by Superior Court Judge Stephanie Sautner was aimed at keeping close tabs on Lohan, who acknowledged she recently violated court orders by getting booted from a community service assignment at a women’s shelter.

Lohan has been in court numerous times since her legal problems began in 2007 with a drunken driving case.

Pilot denies he’s hero WARSAW, Poland (AP) — The Polish pilot hailed for landing a Boeing 767 jetliner on its belly after its landing gear failed stepped into the public eye Wednesday looking stiff and uncomfortable, and insisted that all the talk of heroism “is exaggerated.”

Capt. Tadeusz Wrona set the jetliner down so gently that many of the 231 people on board thought it had landed on its wheels — until they saw fire, sparks and smoke rising from beneath the aircraft as it slid down the Warsaw airport runway.

The 54-year-old pilot for the Polish national carrier LOT deflected the praise, saying he merely did what he was trained to do.

Chevy, which lays claim to being the top-selling auto brand of all time, celebrates its 100th birthday on Thursday.

For most of its life, Chevy stayed a fender ahead of the competition by bringing innovations like all-steel bodies, automatic shifting, electric headlamps and power steering to regular folks at a low cost.

OUT OF THE BLUE Suspect falls into custody PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Police officers in Oregon say a domestic disturbance suspect more or less fell into their hands — through the ceiling.

Portland police were called Monday to a home to deal with an intoxicated man reported as threatening relatives. Lt. Robert King says they found him barricaded in the attic and determined he wasn't a threat, so they began to leave with the intention of following up later.

They say that’s when they heard a crash and returned to find the man had fallen through the ceiling and onto the living room floor.

Twenty-one-year-old Aaron Deon Kinsey was not injured in the fall. He was booked on domestic violence charges, fourth-degree assault and harassment.

Third worker says Cain harassed; campaign denies

BY STEPHEN OHLEMACHER Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — A third former employee considered filing a workplace complaint against Herman Cain over what she deemed aggressive and unwanted behavior when she and Cain, now a Republican presidential candidate, worked together during the late 1990s, the woman told The Associated Press on Wednesday. She said the behavior included a private invitation to his corporate apartment.

The woman said he made sexually suggestive remarks or gestures about the same time that two co-workers had settled separate harassment complaints against Cain, who was then the head of the National Restaurant Association.

Cain’s campaign denied anew that he’d done anything wrong, decried a “smear campaign” as he is riding high in opinion polls and accused rival Rick Perry’s operation of being behind the original stories.

REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTIAL candidate Herman Cain pauses as he speaks at the Congressional Health Caucus Thought Leaders Series Wednesday on Capitol Hill in Washington.

Perry’s campaign denied any involvement — and suggested the campaign of yet another candidate, Mitt Romney, might be a source.

A woman interviewed several times by the AP said she did not file a formal complaint against Cain because she

began having fewer interactions with him. Later, she learned that a co-worker — one of the two women whose accusations have rocked Cain’s campaign this week — had already done so. She said she would have felt she had to file otherwise.

The woman spoke only on condition of anonymity, saying she feared losing her current job and the possibility of damage to her reputation. She was located and approached by the AP as part of its investigation into harassment complaints against Cain that were disclosed in recent days and have thrown his presidential campaign into turmoil. She said she was reluctant to describe the encounters she had with Cain when they worked together at the Washington-based restaurant trade group.

The employee described in conversations with the AP over several days situations in which she said Cain told her that he had confided to colleagues how attractive she was and invited her to his cor-

porate apartment outside work.

His actions “were inappropriate, and it made me feel uncomfortable,” she said.

The AP confirmed that the employee worked at the restaurant association with Cain during the period in question, that she has no party affiliation in her voter registration in the past decade and is not identified as a donor in federal campaigns or local political campaigns. Records show she was registered as a Democrat at one point previously.

Asked for comment about the accusations, including the most recent, Cain spokesman J.D. Gordon said, “Mr. Cain has said over the past two days at public events that we could see other baseless allegations made against him as this appalling smear campaign continues.” Gordon added, “He has never acted in the way alleged by inside-theBeltway media, and his distinguished record over 40 years spent climbing the corporate ladder speaks for itself.”

Greek vote in early Dec. on eurozone

BY GREG KELLER Associated Press CANNES, France (AP) — European leaders heaped pressure on Greece over its decision to hold a referendum on its latest bailout deal, calling it a vote on whether it wants to stay in the eurozone and vowing Athens would not get new rescue loans until the result was in.

The acknowledgment that the vote — which will likely take place on Dec. 4 — could see Greece leave the currency union is the first official admission that such an exit is possible and follows almost two years of pledges to the contrary.

“The referendum … in essence is about nothing else but the question, does Greece want to stay in the eurozone, yes or no?” German Chancellor Angela Merkel said at a news conference together with French President Nicolas Sarkozy.

A “no” vote in the referendum would have enormous consequences not just for Greece but for the rest of Europe. It could break up the 17nation eurozone, lead Greece to a disorderly debt default, topple many fragile European banks and send the global economy spinning back into recession.

Merkel and Sarkozy, as leaders of the two biggest eurozone economies, held emergency talks with Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou in Cannes, France to discuss his stunning proposal to hold the vote. The discussion also included International Monetary Fund head Christine Lagarde and top EU and eurozone officials.

OCCUPY OAKLAND protesters march Wednesday in Oakland, Calif. Thousands of anti-Wall Street protesters are in the streets of Oakland, Calif., as part of a day-long series of events aimed at showing the movement’s strength and unity.

Protesters target downtown Oakland bank branches

BY TERRY COLLINS Associated Press OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Thousands of Occupy Wall Street protesters escalated their tactics beyond marches, rallies and tent camps Wednesday and moved to disrupt the flow of goods at the nation’s fifth-busiest port.

Protesters were arrested as they held a sit-in at the headquarters of cable giant Comcast in Philadelphia. Military veterans marched in uniform in New York, angry at their dim job prospects. And parents and their kids, some in strollers, formed a “children’s brigade” to join the Oakland, Calif. rallies.

“There’s absolutely something wrong with the system,” said Jessica Medina, a single mother who attends school part time and works at an Oakland caf. “We need to

change that.”

In Los Angeles, New York and other cities, demonstrators planned their own rallies in solidarity with the Oakland protesters, who called for Wednesday’s “general strike” after the city became a rallying point last week when an Iraq War veteran was injured in clashes with police.

Protesters, city officials and business leaders were optimistic the strike would be peaceful. There was little to no visible police presence all day.

At a briefing, officials described the protests as peaceful and orderly and said no arrests had been made.

Potentially minimizing any significant disruptions at the port, leaders of the longshoremen’s union said they could not call for members to join the protests under their contract with the port.

Organizers say they want to

stop the “flow of capital.” The port sends goods primarily to Asia, including wine as well as rice, fruits and nuts, and handles imported electronics, apparel and manufacturing equipment, mostly from Asia, as well as cars and parts from Toyota, Honda, Nissan and Hyundai.

On Wednesday morning, the port was operating as normal and most longshoremen had shown up for work, according to port and union officials.

Craig Merrilees, spokesman for the International Longshore and Warehouse Union, said its members were not being called to strike, but that they supported the protesters.

The members “are supporting the concerns raised by Occupy Oakland and the Occupy movement to speak up for the 99 percent and against the corporate greed that is wrecking America,” Merrilees said.

4 men got terror ideas Poorest poor in U.S. hits from underground novel record: 1 in 15 people GAINESVILLE, Ga. (AP) — In the violent underground novel “Absolved,” right-wing militia members upset about gun control make war against the U.S. government. This week, federal prosecutors accused four elderly Georgia men of plotting to use the book as a script for a real-life wave of terror and assassination involving explosives and the highly lethal poison ricin.

The four suspected militia members allegedly boasted of a “bucket list” of government officials who needed to be “taken out”; talked about scattering ricin from a plane or a car speeding down a highway past

major U.S. cities; and scouted IRS and ATF offices, with one man saying, “We’d have to blow the whole building like Timothy McVeigh.”

Federal investigators said they had them under surveillance for at least seven months, infiltrating their meetings at a Waffle House, homes and other places, before finally arresting them Tuesday, just days after discovering evidence they were trying to extract ricin from castor beans.

The four gray-haired men appeared in federal court Wednesday without entering a plea and were jailed for a bail hearing next week.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The ranks of America’s poorest poor have climbed to a record high — 1 in 15 people — spread widely across metropolitan areas as the housing bust pushed many inner-city poor into suburbs and other outlying places and shriveled jobs and income.

New census data paint a stark portrait of the nation’s haves and have-nots at a time when unemployment remains persistently high. It comes a week before the government releases firstever economic data that will show more Hispanics, elderly and working-age poor have fallen into poverty.

In all, the numbers underscore the breadth and scope by which the downturn has reached further into mainstream America.

“There now really is no unaffected group, except maybe the very top income earners,” said Robert Moffitt, a professor of economics at Johns Hopkins University. “Recessions are supposed to be temporary, and when it’s over, everything returns to where it was before. But the worry now is that the downturn — which will end eventually — will have long-lasting effects on families who lose jobs, become worse off and can’t recover.”

Adults are invited to meet at the Amos Memorial Library Nov. 10 at 6:30 p.m. to discuss the book, “The Double Bind”

by Chris Bohjalian.

“The Double Bind” is a story about a young woman working at a homeless shelter who becomes fascinated with photographs taken by one of her clients, photos that suggest he might be tied to her own past in mysterious ways.

The book is scattered with actual photographs taken by a once-homeless man that inspired the author to consider why someone with incredible talent might become homeless. “The Double Bind” considers the question of homelessness and mental illness with sensitivity.

The fictional photographs described in the novel tell Laurel as much about herself as

they do about the photographer, and set her on a path that will change her life. “The Great Gatsby” plays a prominent role in all of this: Fitzgerald’s characters and plot lines are taken to be true, and affect present-day characters.

Books are available for loan through the library.

Amos Memorial Public Library is at 230 E. North St.

‘Help!

Am I a thief?’

DR. WA L LACE: I’m a 1 6 yearold girl with a h u g e d i ’Tween lemma.

A f t e r 12 & 20 Dr. Robert m y Wallace school’s football team won the conference championship, a lot of us went to a favorite hangout restaurant to celebrate the big win. When our cheerleaders got to the restaurant, they started cheering outside and my friend and I went out to join them.

The problem is that when I got home, I found the restaurant bill in my jacket pocket. We ate the food and didn’t pay for it.

That means we both are thieves! I’d like to go back and pay for the food, but it would be too embarrassing. My friend says we should donate the money ($11.45) to the Salvation Army because the restaurant charges too much anyway. That sounds like a pretty good idea. What do you think? Please don’t tell me to discuss this with my parents because I want to work things out without their assistance. — Nameless, Long Beach, Calif.

NAMELESS: While donating money to the Salvation Army is a good idea, you should return to the restaurant. Explain to the manager that in the excitement of winning the championship, you inadvertently forgot to pay your bill. Give him $13.00 and tell him the $1.55 extra is intended as a tip for the server. Trust me, the manager will appreciate your honesty and the incident will be forgotten.

TO THE EDITOR

‘Yes’ on Issue 3 To the editor: I am writing to urge Ohioans to vote “yes” on Issue 3. Without a “yes” vote on Issue 3, the government can force Americans to purchase government-defined health insurance. The problem with this is that the slave should never tell its master what to do.

Here is what George Washington says about government: “Government is not reason; it is not eloquence; it is force! Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master.” The punishment for not buying this mandated health insurance is fines, imprisonment or prosecution. The government taking away our liberty in this manner is a distant echo of Communist China.

The only time a citizen’s liberty should be taken away, is if that liberty is being used to harm others. The goal of Issue 3 is to preserve and protect Ohioans’ freedom to make their individual health care and health insurance decisions. A “yes” vote on Issue 3 means that you will be protecting Ohio’s doctors and citizens from disclosing private medical information to the government.

Issue 3 will also help reduce state and federal government spending, because they won’t have to produce endless stacks of government forms that we as citi-

zens will have to use to apply for their health care. It will be up to private companies to spend their money to try to convince us to participate in their health coverage and the free market will let the better businesses survive. Massachusetts, under the direction of their governor and nowpresidential candidate Mitt Romney, already mandates its citizens to purchase health insurance, and they have the highest health care costs in the nation.

This election will be my first time voting and I, unlike many of my peers, realize the danger of government intruding further into my life. If Issue 3 doesn’t pass, then the government becomes one step closer to becoming our caretaker, and we all know how well the government takes care of its “family!” I again urge you to vote “yes” on Issue 3 and help uphold the Constitution. “All laws which are repugnant (offensive) to the Constitution are null and void.” (Marbury vs.

Madison, 1803) John Adams, our second president, said this: “You have rights antecedent to all earthly government; rights that cannot be repealed or restrained by human laws; rights derived from the Great Legislator of the Universe.”

Vote “yes” on Issue 3.

Half-truths, scare tactics To the editor: Yes, I realize our country and state are not only broke, they’re bankrupt. Something must be done. We absolutely must learn to live within our means and I am totally in agreement with the necessary cuts: As long as you don’t push me away from the trough, i.e.

Issue 2.

Why did you choose public employment?

Please be honest when you answer. One, it’s a pudd job; show me an overworked public employee and I’ll produce a flying donkey.

Better insurance at considerable less cost to me. I submit that any public employee, from the President of the U.S. to the guy that sweeps the street, should be entitled to the same coverage at the same cost as the taxpayer who pays his wages, and no more.

Compare the perks.

Wow, Now I realize not all public employees get a retirement bonus (what else can you call it?), but some run into thousands of dollars.

The guy with 30 years at Amalgamated Gidget gets a gold watch.

I have no quarrel with collective bargaining until membership in the association becomes mandatory, then at negotiation time it’s like the defendant in a lawsuit paying both sides’ attorney fees. Yes, Mr. firemen or policemen, I realize you are in a dangerous environment, but it’s your choice and it is more dangerous than the salesman or the trucker who logs 50 to 150 thousand miles a year, or the construction worker or many another job?

Consider the voluntary firemen who receive no compensation at all.

And all my life I’ve heard how underpaid our educators are. Well, I don’t consider 80 grand for 185 days employment too shabby. I also realize not all teachers fall in this bracket, but many, especially administrators, make over twice that, Lastly, if I were in sympathy with the No’s, I’d probably change my mind when they started using half-truths and scare tactics.

to serve as the superintendent at HardinHouston Schools. But I promise not to write about education too frequently.

Although, I freely admit that sometimes my unsuspecting spouse will show up in print, especially if he forgets Valentine’s Day again.

But I don’t think he will, since that little omission made it in one of my columns for The Lima News some years back.

As for newspapers, I’ve constantly scoured the Sidney Daily News looking for events that I thought I should attend to become better acquainted with Shelby County. To name just a few, when I read about the Gateway Arts Council fundraiser, Bad Art

by Good People, I immediately bought tickets to support the cause. I attended a free publicized seminar at a Sidney church, a church fashion show luncheon, and the classic film, “The Royal Wedding,” at the historic Sidney Theatre.

As a newcomer, I’ve had to ask area employees of fast-food restaurants, retail stores, and gas stations for assistance in finding an address or product. One day, I even polled waiting patrons in line at the Sidney post office about where to find the best cup of coffee.

I don’t want to be partial to any restaurant since there was no definitive answer, but I can tell you that if this was a food column, I think I would have a

pretty good sense of Shelby County dining.

What amazes me is not so much, the selection of food available, but rather the friendliness of those who have served me.

For example, there’s Ryan downtown at The Spot who seems to have an encouraging word for everyone who walks in the front door. Or if you can’t sleep, you can visit Sidney’s Waffle House on third shift, and be entertained by the waitresses and cooks who sing while serving.

Speaking of fun, it was a blast passing out candy to the adorable trick or treaters who stopped by. Too-cute-tonot-mention was a little fireman and a Dorothy straight out of The Wizard of Oz who found her tiny red-sequined shoes at Walmart. There was also an amazing adolescent replica of Flo from the Progressive commercial.

So far, being in Shelby County has been wonderful, and I can’t wait to tell you more as the story unfolds. If you have a story, please email me and let me know what’s up in your neck of the woods. I can’t promise I’ll write about it, but you just never know….Until next time, please don’t forget to get out and vote.

TO THE EDITOR

Displacement only option? Beigel is best choice To the editor: If passed, the proposed Botkins school levy would displace the families who live on Bell Circle Drive. I am appalled that this is viewed as a viable option. Don’t people’s lives matter anymore?

My frustrated sadness rests with the landowner and the school system — this one and all those who cry for more tax dollars in spite of the economic climate.

Why do public school administrators and boards think that they are entitled to additional funds? No doubt each private sector employee reading this wants and even needs a raise, but how many got one? We can’t count on raises, but we are thankful to be employed. Why can’t school representatives be thankful for what they have? While pay remains the same, group health care premiums double, along with the deductibles, but we just have to tighten our pocketbooks; no one comes to our financial rescue. Why don’t schools do that? Why don’t they trim the budget, cease yearly raises, especially for administrators, shop around for services, trim in areas that are of lesser importance?

That’s what we all have to do.

The schools say this is all in the name of quality education. I don’t buy it, and the stats don’t support it ei-

ther. I attended public school long before levies and expansions were commonplace, and I got a great education! How? My teachers were demanding and skilled.

My parents supported my teachers, and both held me to high expectations. The administrators allowed my teachers to set the bar high and didn’t expect them to coddle us. As a result, my first semester of undergrad was review. Not the case anymore, but the schools have more tax money coming in. It doesn’t make sense!

As an English teacher in the community college system, I regularly see students who were not adequately prepared in high school. They weren’t required to think critically; they never even had to write a term paper. I’m not kidding! And yet most of the schools they attended are supported by tax levies.

A tax levy and/or building expansion equal quality education.

Dedicated teachers who are demanding and know their material equal quality education.

Administrators who are academically focused, strict, and let those teachers do their jobs without bureaucracy equal quality education.

It’s simple; vote “no.”

No levy; no displacement.

To the editor: I have had the pleasure of knowing both Sidney Municipal Court Judge candidates, Jeffrey Beigel and Duane Goettemoeller, for more than 28 years. I have worked with them both in the same law practice day in, day out for a long, long time, I believe I may be in a pretty good position to make a solid recommendation to those who have not yet decided for whom to vote.

I am voting for Jeffrey Beigel. Jeff is, in my opinion, the best choice. Quite frankly, Jeff has been blessed with a rare combination of qualities not found in all lawyers. He is highly

intelligent, and he possesses a great personality.

Even more importantly, Jeff Beigel displays the most important quality that I have seen evident in his daily practice as an attorney, which will be even more important for all of us when he is judge. Jeffrey Beigel’s word is his bond. If Jeff says something to me, I know that it is absolutely true and he will do exactly what he says he will do. Jeffrey Beigel possesses true integrity. Join me in voting for Jeffrey Beigel for Sidney Municipal Court Judge.

TO THE EDITOR

Vote pro-life, ‘yes’ on 3 To the editor: The Ohio Right to Life Society recently endorsed Issue 3. According to their press release (www.ohiolife.org), voting yes on Issue 3 will allow Ohioans to preserve their freedom to choose health care coverage free of abortion funding and health care rationing.

When successful, Issue 3 will enact the Ohio Health Care Freedom Amendment, which provides that in Ohio no law will compel any per-

son, employer or health care provider to participate in a health care system and that no law should prohibit the purchase or sale of health care insurance.

Ohio Right to Life supports any effort to stop Obamacare as it currently exists and views Issue 3 and the enactment of the Ohio Health Care Freedom Amendment as an opportunity to do just that. Vote pro-life! Vote “yes” on Issue 3.

Keep Judge Goettemoeller To the editor: Shelby County is very fortunate to have two quality candidates running for Municipal Court judge.

I have had the opportunity to serve on several community boards with Judge Duane Goettemoeller; among them were Compassionate Care, the Anna Education Foundation and the Anna School Technology Planning Team. I have found

Duane to be bright, balanced, visionary and incredibly generous with his time.

In his first year as Municipal Court judge, Duane has proven that he can make difficult decisions with the perfect balance of courage and consideration.

It is very easy for me to encourage voters to keep Judge Goettemoeller!

Court not strict enough To the editor: We are very proud of Chris Yount. If you mean every word you said, you are so very right. Shelby County Juvenile Court is not strict enough with kids who break the laws, lie, and manipulate their parents and the law.

Nothing changes until the kids decide themselves they want to change.

If the courts were

more strict, the kids may think twice the next time. Until then it stays fun and games. In some cases it could be the parents’ fault but not in all cases.

A child can be loved and raised just like his or her siblings and still decide to take the wrong path because they love the attention.

drafted from a textbook that is 20 years out-ofprint is not a solution to the problems we currently face.

A senior citizen recently told me that she “want[s] to buy American-made goods, but everything on the shelves is made in China.”

That’s because our trade policies don’t favor American workers and manufacturers. According to Policy Matters Ohio, more than 119,000 Ohioans have been eligible for trade adjustment assistance — the unemployment service that helps workers who have lost their jobs as a result of foreign trade find new careers — since NAFTA was approved. Foreign trade with countries like China has transformed once vibrant neighborhoods into communities littered with vacant storefronts.

The bipartisan bill I introduced, the Currency Exchange Rate Oversight Reform Act of 2011, which passed in the Senate, is a good first step toward leveling the playing field for American workers. This jobs legislation will curtail China’s ability to compete with an unfair advantage in the world market.

Until we address the inequity at the root of our trade policy, trade agreements will continue to bear rotten fruit. We must cultivate fair trade policies.

To that end, I am asking President Obama to work with Congress to develop net domestic job creation benchmarks in our

trade agreements and measure U.S. imports in markets with our trade partners. We need swift action to open up more markets beyond those with which we share free trade agreements.

As a member of the President’s Export Council, I have convened the Ohio Export Advisory Council, made up of leading CEOs and small businesses, to create a stronger trade agenda that opens more markets.

With ideas generated in these roundtables, I introduced the Reciprocal Market Access Act. The act would help the U.S. trade representative ensure trade agreements result in better market access for U.S. producers and products.

Under this legislation, if other countries do not open their market to U.S. goods, then the U.S. cannot reduce or eliminate tariffs on similar products from those nations in any trade agreement. This legislation would help improve the terms of future trade deals, so American manufacturers can finally compete on a level playing field. And it doesn’t cost a cent.

Let’s develop a modern trade policy that connects Panamanians with Ohioans. I want truck drivers in South Korea to rely on tires made in Akron or business owners in Colombia to depend on technology developed in Columbus. We can do this by improving America’s trade policy and negotiating smart trade agreements to create new jobs right here at home.

LETTERS

TO THE EDITOR Newspapers endorse Issue 2 Raising

To the editor: The Cleveland Plain Dealer, Ohio’s largest newspaper, and the Columbus Dispatch endorse a ‘yes” vote on Issue 2. I found it surprising that the Plain Dealer endorsed a “yes” vote because it is a very liberal newspaper. I’ll highlight some of the Dealer’s statements from a recent article.

“Ohio desperately needs to control the costs of government at all levels. It needs to send a clear message that the old, familiar ways of doing the public’s business have to change. In schools, the emphasis has to be on the progress of children, not the comfort of adults. In city halls and county offices, the impact on those who pay the bills - and the sheer magnitude of those bills - must be paramount.

Rules that made sense in 1983 do not make sense anymore, Yes, change is scary. But look around: Not changing is even scarier.

Now here’s highlights from the Dispatch. “Despite the insistence of opponents, the effort to reform Ohio’s out-of-balance collective bargaining law is not an expression of disrespect for or dissatisfaction with Ohio teachers, policemen, firefighters and other government employees. It is a much needed attempt to re-

store control over public spending to the public officials elected to exercise that control. It does not assert that public employees are worth less than the compensation they are receiving, only that the compensation has grown faster than the public’s ability to pay for it.

Do you want tenure to continue in schools where a teacher has job protection forever?

Tenure provides goldplated security to some teachers who aren’t in the classroom for the right reasons. Issue 2 is attempting to find a balance between public and private sectors. It asks the union-protected public employees to pay at least 15 percent of their health insurance.

It preserves collective bargaining, but it also gives government managers the ability to make decisions based on affordability and efficiency, just like the private sector.

Check out www.taxfoundation.org. The State Business Tax Climate Index ranks Ohio as a dismal 46th out of 50 as being a business friendly state while Indiana ranks in the top 10. Ohio can attract new businesses and jobs by keeping taxes low.

If Ohio is to recover, it must reform. Yote “yes” on Issue 2.

Terri Lenhart 1290 Stephens Road

To the editor: I wanted to express my personal gratitude as well as the gratitude of The Auglaize County Crisis Center to Village Green Garden Center in Wapakoneta for all of the help they provided during the tree planting ceremonies that were conducted at most Auglaize County high schools last week to commemorate Domestic Violence Awareness Month.

These events were planned to help raise awareness among teenagers about the seriousness of domestic violence and if it were not for tremendous support and efforts put forth by Village Green

Garden Center, this event would not have been the success that it was.

I would also like to express my appreciation to the Minster Local Schools, New Bremen Local Schools, St. Marys City Schools, Wapakoneta City Schools and Waynesfield Goshen Local Schools for their participation with this year’s event.

Domestic violence is a serious matter and I am confident that by raising awareness of the issue with teens now, we are preventing domestic violence in the future.

Duane Goettemoeller is a fine judge and serves Shelby County with dignity and unrelenting devotion. Duane Goettemoeller has your best interest at heart. Please vote for Duane.

We “Love is real, and time is might become disenfranshort.” And then they chised, unemployed and ask the deep question: just plain poor. Time is “so tell me how you feel.” short and it can even be

shorter when illness or misfortune invade it.

And we tend to fret over time — too much, not enough, time is running out. And then we get stressed!

But love is real — in spite of all that time might bring, love is the one thing that holds us together. Relationships with others help us through time. Jesus reminded us to love, to love God who gives us time to begin with, and to love one another even as He loves us. Love is real and it gets us through good times without too big a head and it gets us through not so good times with gratitude.

Love is real — so real that God so loves us that God sent Jesus that we might have life eternal, which is not short!

So tell me how you feel. Do you feel rushed?

Will the season coming soon make you feel like time is running out? Do

you feel pressed for time at work, at play, at home with your family? Well, time is short but love is real. Love can overcome our fears and our anxieties. Love puts into perspective our realities and points the way to true happiness which is love. Love one another even as we have been loved. Love the rich and famous as well as the poor and infamous. Love the friend as well as a stranger. We are to love in a real way, not in a superficial way. We are to love so that fears are despelled and anxieties disappear.

“2 Things” — time is short, love is real. Which of the two do you think about more? Time? or Love? Perhaps if we thought more about Love (and actually loved others) time wouldn’t be such an issue.

The writer is the pastor at St. Jacob Lutheran Church in Anna.

CINCINNATI — The Most Rev. Martin D. Holley, an auxiliary bishop of the Archdiocese of Washington, D.C., chairman of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops Subcommittee on African American Affairs, and a member of the USCCB Committee on Pro-Life Activities, will be the keynote speaker for an anti-abortion conference in Cincinnati.

The half-day program, “Choose Life: The Heart of it All,” will be held from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

Saturday at Purcell Marion High School. The Most Rev. Dennis M. Schnurr, archbishop of Cincinnati, will lead morning prayer to begin the day. A series of workshops will follow.

Workshop topics will include poverty’s impact on the choice for life, the role of clergy when promoting life, Catholic social teaching, surviving abortion through forgiveness and healing, facts about abortion in the black community and promotion of

personal dignity and care among our youth.

Holley wrote an article in 2008 in which he addressed the number of African-American children lost to abortion every day. In it, he noted that the abortion challenge is interwoven deeply with many other concerns, that there should be an invitation of hope and healing to those who have already experienced abortion, “and as individuals and church we need to proclaim and witness with our lives to God’s love, the sacredness of human life, and the meaning of human sexuality and marriage.”

The event is cosponsored by the Archdiocesan Offices of African-American Catholic Ministries, Family and Respect Life, and Catholic Social Action. The cost is $20 for adults and $10 for students.

Program sends gift-filled shoe boxes to children in 100 countries LIMA — In Cotton Hill, Trinidad, shoe boxes are helping to lead children on a life-changing journey. It is one of the many places around the world where Operation Christmas Child, a ministry of the nonprofit Christian relief and evangelism organization Samaritan’s Purse, is utilizing a successful follow-up discipleship program called The Greatest Journey.

Operation Christmas Child is the world’s largest children’s gift program, hand-delivering shoe box gifts to kids in more than 100 countries. In 2010, nearly 8.2

million boxes found their way to children’s hands.

For children living in poverty, war, refugee camps or dumps, these shoe boxes filled with school supplies, clothes, small toys, hygiene items are a miracle of love and hope. Families, schools, community groups, churches and just folks gather gifts to be taken overseas; delivery may utilize a truck, bus, plane, water buffalo or elephant.

The Lima/Allen County collection site, which includes drop-off sites in Bellefontaine, Bluffton, Celina, Kenton, New Bremen, Sidney and Van

Christmas Shop to be held Saturday St. Paul’s United Church of Christ, 707 N. Ohio Ave., will hold its “Button & Bows OneStop Christmas Shop” Saturday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.

The $2 admission covers lunch and a ticket for door prizes.

Companies such as Longaberger, Mary Kay, Pampered Chef, Thirty One, Uppercase Living, lia sophia and Party Lite will be featured. Also, church members will have homemade candies and decorated gift bags for sale.

Wert, collected a total of 10,701 shoe boxes for the 2010 season. The goal for 2011 is 13,000 shoe boxes which will be collected Nov. 14-21.

The Sidney drop-off location is the Sidney Baptist Church, 1322 E. Court St. The New Bremen location is Faith Alliance Church, 6670 New Knoxville Ave. Cotton Hill is a Rastafarian and Hindu area where many of the families perform animal sacrifices, the youth who live there usually don’t finish high school, and teenage pregnancies and drug and alcohol abuse are common. Four years ago, a woman named Ramnarina Wendy helped hand deliver Operation Christmas Child gift-filled shoe boxes to children in the area. The initial response she and other shoe box deliverers received from the community was inspiring.

“On that day, God gave us a vision for a Sunday school,” Ramnarina said.

“He wouldn’t give us a distribution with more than 100 children just to

send them back to their normal lives.”

Burdened with a passion to share Jesus Christ with the kids and their families, Ramnarina quit her job as a computer teacher and began to serve with Samaritan’s Purse full time.

Every Sunday, Ramnarina drives on the narrow, bumpy road up Cotton Hill, calling for the children to come to Sunday school. Today, about 120 children in Cotton Hill are studying The Greatest Journey after they receive their shoe box gifts.

Launched in 2010, the program is designed to help children become faithful followers of Jesus Christ. Since its start, more than 86,700 children have responded to the Gospel and committed to following Christ. This program operates through Operation Christmas Child’s established and growing worldwide network of trained local volunteers and churches and is offered in some 50 countries and 28 languages.

BOARD per day at the high school by one. We have learned that strong music and athletic programs draw and keep students in our schools, which increases the amount of funds we receive from the state far more than it costs us to have these programs.

Rees: Everyone is sensitive to money issues. We have made significant staff cuts in the last several years and our entire staff has taken a pay decrease with a salary freeze. The Sidney City School staff has taken a bigger compensation decrease than any other school district in the state of Ohio. The board and staff are committed to offering the best education possible to our students, while being fiscally responsible. We are working on better ways to get this information to the public.

Spangler: I would think the fact that our school employees have taken the highest pay cuts of any school in the state should be a clear signal to our constituents that we are doing all that is humanly possible to be responsible.

We have cut more than $6 million, and the loss of elementary art and physical education could hardly be considered frills. All of our programs have been examined closely. I am not sure what else could be done to prove we have taken fiscal responsibility very seriously.

5. What can be done to encourage students not to leave the Sidney Schools to attend nearby districts?

Cook: A lot of work has already gone into addressing this issue. John Scheu has contacted a number of parents of students who live in our district and are open-enrolled to other schools. We are looking at what Sidney City Schools has to offer compared to the county schools and determining if there are areas we need to be stronger in as well as being more vocal about what we already have.

Our offerings for the college-bound are second to none. We are looking into adding a vo-ag option for those students with an interest in agriculture. We are looking at adding allday kindergarten. We are maintaining strong athletic and music offerings that are accessible to all students. On a similar issue, Mr. Scheu has met with a number of personnel directors of area businesses and Realtors to see what can be done about promoting the school district to people who are taking jobs in Sidney but choosing to live elsewhere.

When the city tells you that 50 percent of all city taxes are paid for by people who work here but don’t live here you know there are many more families who could potentially be calling Sidney their hometown. We are currently working on a brochure highlighting the school district and what it has to offer to new families moving into the area. A fact sheet is being compiled for each building to be given along with the brochure to give additional information about each grade level.

Rees: We have started a marketing campaign to get the word out about all the great things that are happening at Sidney City Schools. We offer a wide range of educational opportunities that range from accelerated to special needs.We also offer a wide variety of extracurricular activities.There are countless success stories of Sidney City Schools graduates. We need to tell these stories and get the word to the public that Sidney City Schools has the tools to help children achieve their dreams.

Spangler: Our neigh-

From Page 2A boring schools are attractive to some of our students because of their smaller size as well as the fact that a few offer programs like FFA that Sidney as an urban district does not. We are presently trying to survey families to see what the attraction has been, and what we can do to get some of our students back. We need to remind everyone in Sidney that despite our cuts and hard times, we are still producing quality graduates that win hundreds of thousands of dollars in scholarships every year and that do very well in college. Those that do not go on to college still function as productive citizens in the world at large. Partial proof of our excellence is that our Academia team has won Shelby County’s Academia contest the last three years and is doing very well this year. The team has also qualified for nationals for the second year in a row. The perception of Sidney schools can be favorably assessed by walking into any of our buildings at any time and seeing that instruction is taking place by caring educators in a safe environment.

Warner: Changing perceptions is a process, not an event. In the end, it is what we do, not what we say. What we have is the free market choosing their school system. The superintendent has identified one concern, that being the lack of all-day kindergarten. There may be other opportunities that can be identified through the families of the 500plus students who have elected to leave. We need to work with our educators to develop a plan to fill these students’ needs.

As it is human nature to flee, I see the importance of stability and community confidence that can be gained through consistent programs.

6. What do you see as the role of sports and other extracurriculars in the Sidney City Schools?

Rees: The goal of Sidney City Schools is to provide a great academic education and also help develop a well-rounded student. Sports, music, extracurricular clubs are excellent tools for developing the whole child. These groups encourage teamwork, goal-setting and respect for others. I think children, like adults, need balance in their lives.

These activities help provide that balance. It’s a very important part of growing up.

Spangler: Studies have shown that students who are engaged in their schools through extracurricular activities, whether they are in sports or academic clubs, do better in their academic classes.

These activities are vital to producing well-rounded graduates and kids that are happier in their school environment. Of course, we would all like to see all sports, band contests and choir contests prove that we are the best, but for the students, the process of being in the activity is the reward and where they learn much about life and themselves.

Warner: There are an untold number of testimonials as to the benefits of athletic and cultural extracurricular activities and I commend those, both past and present, for their talents to support them. One cannot help but be deeply moved by seeing our young people participating with pride in the extracurricular activities.

As we move into what seems to be a new economic culture, we all have the opportunity to supplement the school’s academics through extracurricular activities and for that matter, com-

plement its academics. We will always need professionals for structure and leadership, but we need to open ways to help them by reaching out to volunteers from the wider community.

Cook: Sports and extracurriculars provide a framework for students to their own develop strengths and interests.

They are an integral part of a well-rounded education that prepares students for the real world.

Being in sports provides experience in not only learning how to work as a team but also learning that with dedication and hard work you can reach your goals and maybe go beyond them. Opportunities to perform in musicals and plays gives exposure to public performance/speaking skills that can’t be attained in the classroom. Various other extracurriculars, such as Academia, provide a competitive outlet for those who excel in academics over athletics.

There are a myriad of other extracurriculars such as Chess Club, Foreign Language Club, Key Club and so on that students can choose from to develop their own leadership skills and interests.

7. Why do you want to be on the Sidney City Board of Education?

Spangler: I want to continue the process of seeing Sidney get back to the stability it lost when these failed levies started four years ago. Our role as board members is to hire a good superintendent and treasurer then let them do their job, not to be micromanagers. I have

confidence that we have done so and would like to be elected for four more years to help oversee the results.

Warner: As a native of Ohio and having enjoyed living in Sidney since 1994, I want to devote the next four years of retirement to see our community reach a consensus to benefit Sidney City Schools. My career was spent bridging needs with capabilities, like the challenges of the SCS. With 40-plus years in industry, dealing with revenue, expenses and objectives in engineering, marketing and sales, I can help.

Going forward, we will be dealing with many unknowns that will take dynamic thinking and deliberation.

Cook: We are at a turning point in our school district and I want to be here to see the changes play out.

Rees: I believe strong schools are the key to a successful community. I have lived in Sidney for over 20 years and have a vested interest in this community. I have two sons who have benefited from a quality education at Sidney City Schools.

My third son is currently at the middle school. Having worked in the business industry for the past 25 years, I believe I bring both business knowledge and parental concern to the table.

8. If elected, what would be your highest priorities as a board member?

Warner: Although I have attended the board meetings for the past two years and am quite familiar with the process that I

see, I will make it a high priority to understand what I do not know. The Ohio School Boards Association has a program for new board members which I will attend. I attended their program for school board candidates and found it very worthwhile. As far as the board itself goes I feel that my high priority is, “The school board serves as a link between schools and the public.� I will urge the board to refocus on the vision and advocate it throughout the community. Likewise, let it be clear that Sidney City Schools is the responsibility of each one of us in our community, regardless of where we may be in life.

Cook: My highest priority as a school board member will be to maintain stability in the district as we move forward.

Rees: There are multiple priorities: making sure our staff has the tools in place to provide a quality education to children which our should result in academic improvement on our State Report Card, maintaining stability in our staff for consistent leadership and marketing Sidney City Schools to keep Sidney children in our school system.

Spangler: My highest priority is to make sure the perception of Sidney City Schools as an academically sound and safe school system is accepted as a known fact.

9. Generally, do you feel the Sidney City School District is on the right track toward improvement? Why or why not?

Cook: The Sidney City

School District is definitely on the right track toward improvement. A lot has happened in the past few years and many changes have been implemented. At this time we are looking at operating within our means while providing an appropriate education to all students.

We are moving forward toward a brighter future for our district and our students.

Rees: Yes, I do believe the district is on the right track. We have already made significant changes and improvements. However, we need to remember it is not only the school district. Student development happens in all aspects of these children’s lives. We need to encourage this community to support and value our children’s education. We need to work together as a team.

Spangler: As my responses to the eight previous questions would indicate, Sidney City Schools are on the right track!

Warner: With our present superintendent and the concessions given by our employees, we are definitely on the right track. I see this, in good part, as a result of the taxpayers restricting revenue, thereby forcing restraint. I envision a process where achievement, restraint and communication leads to revenue. This makes it critical to have a strong Board of Education to actively plan our future with a culture of openness and a wide representation of the community so the system can thrive well beyond the individuals.

Issue #7 - November 3, 2011

Science with Ms. Rasch BY: KENNEDY MCIVER Here at Lehman we started off our school year with a lot of new faces, not just with the students, but also the teachers. Our new science teacher, Ms. Ruth Rasch, graduated from Miami University as a Life Science Education major. She teaches Integrated Science, Environmental Ms. Rasch Science, Chemistry and A.P. Biology.

When you sit in the classroom of Ms. Rasch, you’ll most likely enjoy it because her teaching style is different from most teachers. “I like to have fun, but get things done,” said Rasch.

“I love science,” she said. “We have science teachers in the family and I like working with high school students.” Science is not for everyone, but Ms. Rasch makes going to science class a lot better.

“Choosing the right school for the job is important,” she said “I chose Lehman because I like sharing my faith with others and I knew it was a really special community.”

We are very happy to have Ms. Rasch join the staff here at Lehman.

When the saints go marching in BY: JOHN HUSA With Halloween over, we will begin to look forward to Thanksgiving and Christmas, but there was another feast that occured before those holidays. On November 1, Catholics all over the world celebrated All Saints Day. All Saints Day is to remember all of the saints and martyrs, known and unknown. The earliest observance for saints was in the early fourth-century where they celebrated “all the martyrs”. Since then we honor all saints and martyrs who lived their life for God. Not many know that Halloween is related to All Saints Day. Trick or treating goes back to the Middle Ages, when poor folk would go “souling” (google: Halloween History). “Souling” is when poor folk would go door to door and beg for food in exchange for prayers on All Souls Day. It originated in Ireland and Britain, but has spread across many countries.

Lehman celebrated All Saints Day by having Mass on Tuesday, November 1. There are many ways to celebrate the day. Whether it was saying a prayer for the saints, or looking up history of an individual saint, hopefully you had an enjoyable All Saints Day.

College apps cause apprehension!

BY: ABBY CIRIEGIO The month of October is winding to a close, which means senior stress levels are through the roof as college application deadlines are reeling in! According to Mrs. Barb Saluke, senior guidance counselor, only about 30% of the seniors have completed their college applications. Such a small percentage is leaving her a bit on edge these days. “I prefer the students to have their applications completed by the end of October,” said Saluke. “There’s no time like the present to get started on them, and no merit in waiting!”

Applications vary from college to college, but they all aim to acquire background information on the applicant. All college applications will want to know the basics: the specific classes you have taken in your high school career, the level of coursework you have taken (regular or advanced), your ACT/SAT scores, your class rank, and your GPA. Students attending Lehman have a big advantage when it comes to college applications because it is a college-preparatory based high school, and offers such a wide variety of extracurricular activities.

For some Lehman seniors college may seem like light years away, so they fail to see the urgency in completing college applications. In reality, most colleges will inform applicants whether they have been accepted or denied by December 1. Another thing seniors must realize is that scholarships and financial aid packages cannot be awarded unless the person has been accepted into the college or university. So seniors, do not procrastinate; get your college applications in! You’ve got your futures to plan!

Do it for the cookies!

BY: EMILY BENSMAN Many people are not big fans of needles, but when it comes to the opportunity to save three lives, what’s the hesitation? If that is not enough encouragement to be a volunteer donor, you also get rewarded with stickers, a t-shirt, juice, and the best of it all…COOKIES! Donating blood is simple, but there is a process along with a few requirements. The first and most important requirement is a healthy donor. You must be at least 17 years old in most states, or 16 with parental consent. You are also required to be at least 110 lbs. If you are interested in being a double red cell donor, there are additional requirements such as height and weight.

The first step is to make an appointment. A donor needs to be well hydrated, wear comfortable clothing, and have a healthy level of iron. You need to bring a list of medications you are taking along with your ID. Most importantly, remember to relax! The donation process typically takes an hour, even though the donation itself takes only about 10 minutes.

First there will be registration, health history overview, and a mini physical. Finally your reason for this process has come: time to donate! When all is done, refreshments are given, which we all know means cookies! Make sure you drink plenty of water throughout the day and avoid heavy lifting or exercise. Now you have the satisfaction of knowing you helped save three lives.

Many Lehman students are gladly recognized as volunteer donors. Lehman has helped host the Community Blood Center drives for many years, one in November and one in March. The Community Blood Center sponsors the Red Cord Honor, which is for students who have donated at least three times in their high school careers.

MacKenzie Brown said ”I get super nervous when I am about to donate, but the feeling of accomplishment is well worth it! I have donated three times and can’t wait to add on to my list.”

Dan Deafenbaugh said, “I have only donated once but loved helping others and the delicious cookies afterwards! I am planning on donating this November and March so I can receive the Red Cord Honor at graduation.”

Lehman’s next blood drive is November 9 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Someone is in need of blood every moment of every day. Only 3 out of 100 people donate blood in America today. What’s holding you back?

“I really hope to incorporate a lot of this into my lesson plans as well, so that my students can learn more about their own family history as well,” said Clark. “I will begin my lessons on the history of immigrants Shelby County in a couple of weeks.”

Clark was able to go through a grant from the Ohio Historical Society.

The grants are offered to any teachers who want to take classes on American history throughout Ohio.

The program of study was developed through collaboration among associates from the GalliaVinton Educational Service Center (GVESC), the University of Rio Grande, and other scholars. The course included formal lectures by humanities scholars and regional historians as well as On-the Move Sessions (field trips) to allow the teachers direct interaction with the area’s cultures, its people and places. Throughout the week, teachers visited many historic landmarks, were treated to Appalachian music performances, learned about Appalachian literature, heard local lore from community members, and enjoyed art created by Appalachian inhabitants.

You’re right: Celiac disease and gluten-free foods are talked about all the time these days.

Partly that’s because a lot more people are being diagnosed and that, in turn, is because doctors have become more attuned to looking for it.

It’s said that one in 113 Americans has it.

Treatment is the exclusion of gluten from the diet, something that sounds quite straightforward and simple. It’s neither. Gluten is found in so many foods and in so many other places that avoiding it is a Herculean task. Patients, including you and your husband, are best served

by getting training from a dietitian.

Anna falls in D-III regional

BY MATT ZIRCHER

50 years ago November 3, 1961 Red Taylor marked games of 219 and 221 for an outstanding 629 series to pace Crim’s Lettering to a 6-2 victory over Harris Jewelers in the Classic League at Holiday Lanes. Mel Davis hit a 225 and Floyd Ridenour rolled a 224 for the losers.

Jaws Knoop blasted a 235 game for a nifty 612 series at Genera Highway trimmed Stroh’s Beer 6-2, although Marion Watren kegged games of 218 and 201 for a 609 series.

25 years ago November 3, 1986 Cliff Hemmert, who guided the 1984 Lehman football team into the Division V playoffs, completed five passes for 80 yards Saturday in Bluffton’s win over Anderson, and in the process, set a new career passing record at the school. Hemmert’s record-breaking pass saw another former local standout on the receiving end as Sidney High graduate Wayne Wiggins hauled in the 14-yarder that broke the record. Wiggins is the single-season rushing record-holder at Sidney.

ANNIVERSARY Ralph Baumann This month marks the 80th anniversary of the only football related death in Shelby County.

In 1930 Wilson Memorial Hospital was established in Sidney. A year later alumni teams from Holy Angels and Sidney High Schools met at Julia Lamb Stadium for a game to raise funds for the new hospital. A Holy Angels alumni player sustained a severe neck injury on the second half kickoff and was taken to the hospital he was trying to support. He died there several days later.

The full story of Ralph "Pee Wee" Baumann can be found on the website of the Shelby County Historical Society. He was the captain of the 1927 Holy Angels Titans and graduated in 1928.

KETTERING — Anna rebounded from a 25-7 loss in the first set to win the second and even the match, but it was all Miami East the rest of the way as the Lady Vikings defeated the Lady Rockets 257, 19-25, 25-15, 25-11 in the Division III regional volleyball semifinals at Trent Arena Wednesday night.

Anna closes its season at 16-11 while Miami East, the top-ranked Division III team in the state, improves to 26-1 heading into Saturday’s regional final.

The Vikings jumped out to a quick 8-1 advantage in the opening set and never looked back as they broke open a 165 lead with seven straight points, a run that included two Allison Morrett services and a pair of Kelsey Vanchure kills.

Anna, though, hung close to start the second set and took its first lead of the night at 65 on a Rachel Noffsinger ace.

East went back in front 8-7 on an Abby Cash kill, only to see the Rockets answer with five in a row, including back-toback Natalie Billing aces followed by consecutive Danielle Schulze kills.

The margin was later just 19-17 before two more Schulze kills keyed a 4-0 burst and Anna evened the match at a set apiece on a pair of Viking errors.

After collecting just four kills in the opening set, the Rockets recorded 13 in the second and also had four aces.

A serve error by Miami East drew Anna to within one in the third set until the Vikings used two Cash kills in building a 10-5 lead. The Rockets stayed close at 19-15, only to see the Vikings tally the final six points, half on three more kills by Cash.

“We made too many mental mistakes out there tonight,” said Anna coach Amy Cobb.

“You can’t make those types of mistakes against a team like Miami East.”

The margin was 9-5 in the final set before the Vikings extended it with five in a row.

The Rockets temporarily slowed the momentum with a pair of points until East closed out the match by scoring 11 of the last 15 points.

“Our passing just wasn’t there for most of the night and when that’s not there, it’s hard to create any offense,” said Cobb. “When we did it well, like we did in the second set, we did some nice things.

“We have a young team, so, hopefully, this season and tournament run will give us something to build on,” added the Anna coach. “It gives us something to shoot for next season.”

For the match, Miami East led 42-26 in kills, 10-9 in service aces and 9-4 in blocks while Anna also had eight service errors.

Tony Stewart wins in Martinsville, closes Chase gap to eight points.

By MATT TALIAFERRO Athlon Sports Racing Editor

Prior to NASCAR’s Chase for the Championship, Tony Stewart stated that his inclusion in the playoffs may simply be wasting a spot in lieu of another, more worthy contender.

Three victories later, the two-time Cup champion finds himself in the thick of the title hunt after a win in the Tums Fast Relief 500 at Martinsville Speedway.

“I felt like there were some things that were missing,” Stewart said of his No. 14 team’s regular season performance. “I think our Chase run here — obviously Dover (25th) was not what we were looking for — but every race since then, we have been a contender. The result hasn’t always shown at some of these races.

But we’ve been pretty solid in this Chase.

“I don’t know what changed. The guy beside me (crew chief Darian Grubb) is the guy to ask that. He’s the guy that’s orchestrating it, organizing the people to do the job. It doesn’t matter what it is that’s changed — the good thing is that it has and it changed at the right time when we need it. That’s all you can ask for.”

Stewart, winless in the 26-race regular season, snuck into the Chase seeded ninth, but swept the first two races at Chicagoland and Dover. His victory in Martinsville was the 42nd of his Cup career, placing him 16th on NASCAR’s all-time wins list, two ahead of Mark Martin and two shy of Bill Elliott in 15th.

Stewart had to beat Jimmie Johnson to get to Victory Lane — a tough task considering Johnson is a six-time Martinsville race winner who had led the previous 60 laps.

Throttle Up/Throttle Down

JEFF BURTON Burton has looked good the last two weeks amid an otherwise forgettable season. “The Mayor” has consecutive showings of second (Talladega) and sixth (Martinsville) after notching only one top 10 (Watkins Glen) in the previous 31 races in 2011.

BRIAN VICKERS Vickers was not on his A-game at Martinsville.

The Red Bull Racing driver was involved in five wrecks at the halfmile bullring. Two of those “accidents” were acts of retaliation by Vickers.

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. It’s one of those places where, in my mind, strange things happen. I’m always extra wary when we go there.”

Tracks on Tap

MARTINSVILLE MASTER II Denny Hamlin doesn’t have as many Martinsville starts as Jimmie Johnson, but his record is just as impressive.

Hamlin has 11 top-10 runs in 13 career Martinsville starts, including four wins. Hamlin’s two finishes outside of the top 10 came in 2006 (37th due to a crash) and — like Johnson — in April 2011, when he rolled to a 12thplace showing in his home state.

4

Talladega and Martinsville were the wild card tracks, and the two Edwards and crew were most apprehensive about. They went into ’Dega with a five-point lead and left Martinsville up eight.

There is something to be said for a driver winning the championship by going out and actually winning races. That’s what Stewart is doing, with three victories in seven Chase events.

Harvick gained five points on Edwards in the standings at Martinsville, but he’ll need to do better than that over the final three races to catch the 99, much less pass it.

Kenseth was the points leader with 40 laps to go in Martinsville. Then it all went south, as a spin bashed his Ford to the point where he’s now 36 back and basically out of title contention.

Credit Johnson for a fine run at Martinsville — only Brian Vickers’ aggression kept him out of Victory Lane — but even sweeping the last three races may not be enough at this point.

Like Kenseth, BK’s late spin was costly. The Deuce may have lost up to 12 points in the standings after a solid top 10 went up in tire smoke. The difference between -15 and -27 is massive.

Comparable to Edwards’ late-season performance improvement in 2010, Hamlin and the boys have strung together consecutive runs of ninth, eighth and fifth. Another win may be around the corner.

It’s been a disappointing Chase for Gordon and the gang thus far. In fact, his third-place run at Martinsville was the best showing he’s had since a fourth in Loudon, five weeks ago.

Will Bowyer’s hiring at Michael Waltrip Racing come at the expense of David Reutimann’s fullseason effort? It just might ...

Has been wholly unspectacular throughout the Chase, which begs the question, “Why is he rated so high on this list?” Answer: Because he still has the ability to win on any given weekend.

A strong six-race run comes to an end in Martinsville, which has never been a great “Kasey track.”

Tony Stewart leads Chasers Kyle Busch, Jimmie Johnson and Brad Keselowski en route to his third win of the season in Sunday’s Tums Fast Relief 500 at Martinsville Speedway.

Stewart lined up to Johnson’s outside on the front row on a restart with three laps remaining and was able to make the line work, nosing ahead of Johnson coming off Turn 2 and clearing him in Turns 3 and 4.

“When I was inside of Tony, I went down in the corner (Turn 1) and thought that eight tires would be a lot better than four,” Johnson said of the final restart. “I changed my mind. With where he is in the points, what’s going on, the fact we raced throughout the day today (and) he never touched me, I had a hard time doing that (getting physical).”

Johnson finished one car length back in second. Jeff Gordon, Kevin Harvick and Denny Hamlin rounded out the top 5.

The most notable finish of the afternoon — aside from Stewart’s win — was points leader Carl Edwards’ ninth-place showing.

On two occasions Edwards fell off the lead lap, the victim of an ill-handling car. However, he was able to make up both laps thanks to welltimed cautions that allowed him to get back on the lead lap over the event’s final 100 circuits.

The No. 48 car will be taken by NASCAR to its Research and Development Center following each race for the remainder of the season. The reason stems from a conversation between crew chief Chad Knaus and driver Jimmie Johnson at Talladega that was picked up via NASCAR.com’s RaceBuddy.

In a story first reported by SBNation.com’s Jeff Gluck, microphones in the No. 48 car picked up Knaus telling Johnson in prerace that he needed to damage the car should he win.

“If we win this race, you have to crack the back of the car,” Knaus said. “You don’t have to hit it hard, you don’t have to destroy it, but you’ve gotta do a donut and you’ve gotta hit the back end, or somebody’s gotta hit you in the (expletive)-end or something. OK?” The eavesdropped conversation fueled speculation that the car may have been out of the tolerance NASCAR allows. As such, NASCAR talked to Knaus at Martinsville on Friday and informed Hendrick Motorsports that the car would be impounded and in-

The result was Edwards maintaining the Chase lead by eight over Stewart.

Matt Kenseth and Brad Keselowski, who entered the event 14 and 18 points behind Edwards, had late-race spins while running in the top 10 that damaged their playoff hopes. Keselowski now sits 27 points back in fourth, while Kenseth’s title bid took a damaging hit, as he is 36 markers in arrears.

Harvick’s fourth-place run allowed him to gain five points on Edwards, vaulting him from fifth to third in the standings.

But Stewart, who started the afternoon 19 points shy of Edwards’ points lead, was the undisputed benefactor of what was a chaotic race. He dodged and weaved his way through 18 caution periods, and applied verbal pressure — as well as the physical heat the point standings now profess — to the ultra-consistent Edwards: “Carl Edwards better be real worried,” Stewart said with a sly grin in Victory Lane. “That’s all I’ve got to say. He’s not going to sleep for the next three weeks.”

spected at the R&D Center for the season’s final four races.

When asked about his request, Knaus said, “Racing at Talladega is tough, and I think everybody understands that.

You run 500 miles at 200 miles per hour, and you’re bump-drafting and you’re beating on one another, and it’s real easy for these cars to get outside of tolerance.

“It’s a tight tolerance that we’re held in. It doesn’t take much to be a few thousands (of an inch) off and have NASCAR raise an eyebrow. Just being proactive, I just told Jimmie, ‘Look man, we’ve just got to make sure there’s a tire mark or some type of visible damage.’ Just because cars do move when you race them like that.”

Clint Bowyer’s No. 33 team suffered the consequences in the Chase’s first race last year. After winning the event, the rear end of his car was found to be out of tolerance and his team was docked 150 championship points, effectively ending his title hopes.

Classic Moments Texas Motor Speedway Texas Motor Speedway’s first two Cup dates are brutal affairs. The 1997 Interstate Batteries 500 and ’98 Texas 500 are plagued by savage wrecks — one that nearly ends Greg Sacks’ career and another that sidelines Mike Skinner for weeks — and weepers that cancel practice and qualifying session. The mayhem even leads to whispers, though not verified, that Texas would have its single date stripped.

Therefore, following the ’98 race, track owner Bruton Smith purchases a share of North Wilkesboro Speedway to move one if its two dates to his track in Texas. He has the track repaved and reconfigured and installs a new drainage system. The results are immediate, as TMS stands as one of the great facilities on the circuit.

Athlon Fantasy Stall Looking at Checkers: Only one finish worse than ninth in the last nine starts for Matt Kenseth at TMS. Pretty Solid Pick: Denny Hamlin’s track record in Texas is good and the team is looking to finish 2011 strong.

Good Sleeper Pick: Jeff Burton has two wins and nine top 10s here in 21 starts. Yippee kiyay, cowboy!

Runs on Seven Cylinders: Brian Vickers has yet to record a top-10 finish at Texas in 13 starts.

Insider Tip: Sticking with Hamlin, Kenseth or Edwards is smart, but keep an eye on a surging Tony Stewart.

Furgason selected to Blue-Grey Classic

Benson back with Bengals

There will be two days of practice and a walkthrough on Thursday and Friday of that week.

Each player needs to submit a fee of $1,850 to help defray the cost of playing the game in an NFL stadium.

The players receive championship rings, Riddell helmet, uniform, eight VIP tickets, two nights lodging and a DVD of the game.

Anyone wishing to donate to Furgason to help with the cost is asked to contact Di Parker at 937-489-6114 or Ron Furgason at 937-4890532

Turkey Trot set on Thanksgiving The First Presbyterian Church of Sidney will sponsor the fifth annual Turkey Trot 5K Run/Walk on Thanksgiving morning.

put so much into this and when things don’t go well, it tries to mess with you.

“Getting away from it helps put it in perspective. I hate missing the game, but two weeks is a blessing in disguise.

Have to have something positive to say about it.”

There was one other positive for Benson: It could have been much worse.

The NFL originally proposed a three-game suspension after Benson settled two misdemeanor assault cases in Texas.

He served a five-day jail sentence before the season began, then waited to see if the league would punish him.

Benson appealed the suspension on grounds that the second arrest came during the NFL’s lockout. He argued that players shouldn’t be disciplined for anything that happened when there was no collective bargaining agreement.

The league disagreed, citing federal labor law.

It also noted that the first of the two cases occurred last year. But the penalty was reduced from three games to one, which Benson considered a victory. He feared the league would stick with the three-game ban.

“Yeah, it is (a victory),” he said. “I thought they would do what they normally do. Having some facts and having them look at it is a change in the right direction.”

The challenge on Sunday is to get the running game moving against one of the league’s lowest-ranked run defenses.

The Titans are giving up 129 yards per game on the ground, which ranks 27th overall.

B o t h Versailles Matt teams are Subler running at state. The girls team won the championship four years ago.

Tammy Berger and Samuel Prakel have been the top runners in the area this season, and will definitely challenge for state individual championships.

Berger is going for her third straight top finish in the Division-III race.

Prakel, just a sophomore, was seventh ast year at state.

The Bengals want to run the ball to take the pressure off rookie quarterback Andy Dalton.

They did well at the start of the season, with Benson topping 100 yards in two of the first four games. In his last two, he’s managed only 53 and 57 yards against defenses stacked at the line to stop the run.

“I think a lot of people expect us to be a run-only type team with having a young quarterback and young receivers,” left tackle Andrew Whitworth said. “I think teams are doing a great job of crowding the (line) and making it tough to run the ball, but we can still do it and we just have to do it more effectively and more efficiently. But we’re on our way.”

Anna running back Cole Furgason, who rushed for 1,074 yards this season, has been selected to play in the Pro-Motion S p o r t s USA BlueFurgason Grey National All-Star Classic, to be held at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa on Jan. 14 at 8 p.m.

Furgason tried out for the game over the summer at the Hall of Fame and was recently notified of his selection.

CINCINNATI (AP) — Cedric Benson was back at practice with the Cincinnati Bengals on Wednesday, ending a two-week layoff that was shorter than he’d expected.

The running back went home to Texas for the Bengals’ bye week, then stayed there to serve a one-game suspension for violating the NFL’s conduct policy.

The Bengals (5-2) won without him, beating Seattle 34-12 on the West Coast.

Benson was added back to the 53-man roster on Wednesday and expects to get most of the carries at Tennessee (43) on Sunday afternoon.

The two weeks away seemed to rejuvenate him.

She is joined as an individual by Anna sophomore Adam Larger.

Center no longer center SCOREBOARD of attention at Ohio State CALENDAR

High school

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Some security blankets are fuzzy and warm. Jim Foster’s is around 6-foot-4 and intimidating.

For the last seven years, Ohio State’s coach has had the luxury of knowing that he had the Big Ten’s best center on his roster.

No more. With the graduation of the only four-time major conference player of the year (Jantel Lavender), who followed a three-time winner (Jessica Davenport), Foster and the Buckeyes are headed for a brave, new world.

Now everyone must contribute since the central part of the offense isn’t a lob pass to a dominating player underneath.

“We’ll play much differently this year based on who’s in the gym,” said Foster, who has a glittering 236-62 record and won an unprecedented six league championships in a row before the Buckeyes sagged to a 10-6 league mark a year ago.

It won’t be easy replacing Lavender, who didn’t skip a beat when she replaced Davenport four years ago. Lavender averaged 22.8 points and 10.9 rebounds a game last year as the Buckeyes went 24-10, winning 11 of their last 12 games and going to the NCAA regional semifinals before losing to Tennessee, 85-75.

She wasn’t the only loss, either. Also gone are shooting guard Brittany Johnson (who made 85

MEMBERS OF the Ohio State women’s basketball team, from left, Darryce Moore, Aleksandra Dobranic, Samantha Prahalis and Martina Ellerbe pose for a photo during media day. With the graduation of Jantel Lavender, Ohio State is facing a new season without the the Big Ten’s best center on the roster.

3-pointers a year ago — more than the rest of the team combined), along with occasional starters Sarah Schulze and Alison Jackson.

The Buckeyes, needless to say, look at Lavender’s absence as an opportunity.

“It’s always great to have an All-American like Jantel on your team,” guard Tayler Hill said. “But at the same time (her graduation) opens up the floor and we can do a lot of different looks and styles.”

Instead of being postoriented, Ohio State suddenly finds itself with a richness at the guard spots. Hill, who provided 12.4 points and 4.3 rebounds a game, will fill one, with threeyear starting point guard Samantha Prahalis running the offense.

Prahalis is an enigma, at times capable of lifting the whole team to the heights with her flashy passes and emotional presence on the

court. At others she has battled her own temper and has been erratic in her play.

During the offseason, however, the only senior on the Ohio State roster passed up an opportunity to play with a national team to stay close to Columbus and shepherd the younger players during summer workouts. It’s a sign that perhaps she might be assuming the leadership mantel which Lavender wore like a crown.

“I wanted to be here for my teammates. I didn’t want it to be, ‘Well, if I had invested a little more time with them maybe they could have (done) whatever,” she said. “I didn’t want to have those thoughts. I’m putting everything into my teammates and my senior year. It’s not a burden. I like it because they are looking at me. I need to step up. I like them coming to me for help. I like being a helper.”

One of those she has helped is 6-foot-5 sophomore Ashley Adams, who played Robin to Lavender’s Batman a year ago, grabbing spare rebounds and setting picks to ease the burden on the Buckeyes’ star performer.

Now the Buckeyes will likely play more players in a more wideopen and free-wheeling style. Amber Stokes, a defensive whiz, should prosper in that type of play. Foster can also mix and match centers Darryce Moore and Aleksandra Dobranic, forwards Martina Ellerbe and Emilee Harmon and guard Amy Scullion along with freshmen guards Shelbi Honeycutt, Maleeka Kynard and Raven Ferguson and swing player Kalpana Beach.

“It’s not going to be centered around a post player,” said Stokes, the FOOTBALL daughter of former Ohio State guard Ron Stokes.

Meeting set on Nov. 10 for Edison CC club baseball PIQUA — An organizational meeting for the Edison Community College Charger club baseball team wll be held Nov. 10 at 3 p.m. in the cafeteria of the Piqua campus.

Edison instructor Dr. Thomas Martinez will be holding the meeting, which is open to anyone who is enrolled in three or more credit hours at Edison. The team will need 20 committed players to begin play in the spring.

“As a former player, I remember the benefits of being on a team and I’ve applied these skills to everyday success throughout my career as a chiropractor and now as an instructor at Edison,” said Martinez. “A club team will continue to promote Edison’s core values in a positive view.”

If players interested in joining the team can’t make it to the meeting, they can contact Martinez at 937-778-7935 or through email at tmartinez@edisonohio.e du.

Donations and sponsorships to support the program will be solicited in the coming weeks.

“The Miami, Darke and Shelby counties contain many quality players with little outlet after high school,” Martinez said. “Edison plans to take advantage of this wealth of talent and field a competitive team in the first spring season.”

Raising money for the fight Runners and walkers take off from the starting line at Tawawa Park recently in the Making Strides For Breast Cancer 5K. The event was to raise money in the fight against breast cancer.

Dodgers are for sale LOS ANGELES (AP) — Embattled Los Angeles Dodgers owner Frank McCourt and Major League Baseball reached an agreement late Tuesday to sell one of the sport’s most storied franchises, ending a seven-year run that included four trips to the postseason before recently becoming mired in legal troubles capped by a filing for bankruptcy protection.

A joint statement said there will be a “court-supervised process” to sell the team and its media rights to maximize value for the Dodgers and McCourt. The Blackstone Group LP will manage the sale, which could include Dodger Stadium and the surrounding parking lots.

The announcement came as the Dodgers and

MLB were headed toward a showdown in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Delaware at the end of the month as mediation between both sides was ongoing.

McCourt and baseball Commissioner Bud Selig have traded barbs since MLB took control of dayto-day operation of the team in April over concerns about the team’s finances and the way it was being run. McCourt apparently realized a sale of the team he vowed never to give up was in his best interest and that of the fans.

“There comes a point in time when you say, ‘It’s time,’” said a person familiar with the situation who requested anonymity because details of the negotiations had not been made public. “He came to that re-

alization at the end of today.”

McCourt filed for bankruptcy protection in June after the league rejected a 17-year TV contract with Fox, reported to be worth up to $3 billion, that he needed to keep the team afloat.

Selig noted that almost half of an immediate $385 million payment would have been diverted from the Dodgers to McCourt.

Board agrees to purchase land if levy passes BOTKINS — The Botkins Board of Education met in special session on Monday to discuss an option of purchasing land for a new school.

The board entered into an agreement with the Mary C. Hageman

Incumbent Ronnie Platfoot, 409 S. Main St., Botkins, is running for the fiscal officer position.

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.

If you have questions regarding scams like these or others, please contact the Ohio Attorney General’s office at (800)282-0515.
