The three men spoke during the 2011 United Way campaign Harvest Luncheon Thursday.

Shelby County United Way has exceeded its 2011 fundraising goal of $1.3 million by almost $13,000. The campaign closed Thursday with donations to date totalling $1,312,821. Executive Director Bob Parker reported the good news during the organization’s Harvest Luncheon Thursday at the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 4239. Members of the United Way Board of Trustees, campaign volunteers, donors and representatives of United Way agencies were in attendance. “We need to add some more red tape to the thermometer (on the square),” a smiling Parker said.

seven-week drive. At the end of Week 6, Parker had announced that donations totalled $339,701 which represented 26.1 percent of the goal. That means that just under $1 million was raised in the last week of the campaign. “It’s phenomenal the way it will fall together (in Shelby County),” Parker said. “We’re really blessed here with the companies and the people (who are so generous). We depend on every small or large gift.” Division results are as follows: large manufacturing, led by Randy Rose and Doug Borchers, $857,999; small manufacturing, led by Dan McSweeney, $57,455; service, led by Mark and Sandi Shipman, $169,789; retail, led by See UNITED WAY/Page 3

2 students hurt on school bus BY JENNIFER BUMGARNER jbumgarner@sdnccg.com A Sidney City Schools bus was involved in an incident Thursday morning that resulted in the transportation of two students to the hospital. Around 7:25 Thursday, a car reportedly turned in front of the bus at the intersection of Fourth Avenue and Campbell Road, according to Transportation Supervisor Mark Barhorst. “The bus driver hit the brakes and swerved right to avoid the turning car,” said Barhorst. “Due to hard breaking, the six passengers on the bus moved forward and hit the backs of the seats in front of them.” One student complained of rib pain and another complained of a sore neck. Sidney Fire and Emergency Services arrived on the scene and transported the two students to Wilson Memorial Hospital as a precaution. The rest of the students were transported to the school after the investigation was complete. According to an operations report from the Sidney Police, Kimberly Kies, 54, 1102 Campbell Road, was driving the bus. There was no visible damage to the school bus.

Parker noted that giving in the education division was particularly gratifying because the number of employees in the education sector has decreased by more than 100 in the last year. “It was another very successful campaign,” said Board of Trustees President Scheu. “It amazes me every year
how Shelby County steps forward to support compared to other counties around us that are our size. It’s a tribute to everyone in the room. And every year, the needs of the community increase.” Parker noted that additional support may be forthcoming as campaigns at a number of businesses have not ended yet. On behalf of the United Way, he recognized each division leader, campaign chairman John Deeds and three outgoing board members, Phil Chilcote, Pam Jenkins and Mark Vondenheuvel. A volunteer committee will meet in the spring to assess funding requests from member agencies and to recommend funding levels for approval by the board.

Emergency alert system to be unveiled Area public safety officials will unveil Shelby County’s new emergency notification system during a press conference Wednesday at 9 a.m. at the Sidney Police Department. Utilizing a Federal Homeland Security grant, the Shelby County Terrorism Advisory Team has purchased TFCC Alert from Columbus-based Twenty First Century Communications. The new system will primarily be used to disseminate messages pertaining to the health, safety or welfare of Shelby County, its villages and the city of Sidney in the event of a perceived, emerging or imminent emergency event. “TFCC Alert gives Shelby County municipalities the ability to send time-sensitive, targeted messages to select groups and geographic areas,” Marc Burdiss, director of the county’s Emergency Management Agency said. The system is capable
of reaching landlines, cellular and VolP Blackberphones, ries/PDAs, pagers and TTY/TTD devices for the hearing impaired. The contract database includes all residential and commercial landline phone numbers. Citizens are encouraged to register additional methods of contact, including cell phone numbers, VolP numbers and email addresses. Information about the new system, including registration updates, is available from the Shelby County Emergency Mass Notification System link on the city of Sidney website: www.sidneyoh.com or the Shelby County Sheriff’s website: www.shelbycountysheriff.com. TFCC’s inbound and outbound communication technology is currently in place at more than 80 electric utilities as well as hundreds of public safety and governmental agencies, universities, corporations and health care facilities.

was a cooperative investigation among the three agencies relating to fraud crimes of counterfeiting money, counterfeiting checks and theft by deception. As part of the theft-by-deception element of the investigation, the agencies are also reviewing a YouTube posting video in which Barga allegedly solicits funds from viewers to help support him and his family through tough economic times created by the recent death of his wife. Because his wife is alive, the county sheriff’s office is working with Internet providers to determine if any money had been sent Barga. Investigation into the fraudulent activities and the alleged operation of an illegal taxi cab business is ongoing and will be reviewed by the Shelby County Prosecutor’s office for possible additional charges against Barga and his wife. Barga’s wife, Christina Barga, 41, received a traffic citation for one count of wrongful entrustment, a first-degree misdemeanor.

IN THIS Oct. 18 photo, Moses Allen (left) and his father, Artis Allen, pose in their home in Columbus. Father and son both had a kidney/pancreas transplant.
Son, father have kidney/pancreas transplants BY MISTI CRANE Associated Press GAHANNA (AP) — Moses Allen said he doesn’t care much about pain. So the 36-year-old tattoo artist didn’t fear the kidney/pancreas transplant in 2007 that rescued him from dialysis and gave him back his strength. His father, however, is wired a little differently. “I said, ‘Man, I don’t want anyone opening me up like that,’” said 55-year-old Artis Allen, who, like his son, ended up on dialysis for damage caused by poorly controlled Type 1 diabetes. It was Artis Allen’s memory of how the transplant transformed his oldest son — and a little convincing from his son — that got him to Ohio State University Medical Center last month for his kidney/pancreas transplant. Dr. Mitchell Henry, chief of transplantation there, said he had never heard of a father and son who both had a kidney/pancreas transplant. No national data are kept on that, so it’s impossible to know whether the Allens are the only such pair in history. Surgeons transplant both organs from a donor who has died because it offers the best chance at curing diabetes. Ohio State performs about 20 kidney/pancreas transplants a year. There were 2,124 people awaiting the combined transplant in the United States as of Oct. 14. Patients typically wait a year or two for organs that are a good match. The younger Allen’s influence on his father was important, Henry said. Almost seven in 10 people with diabetes who are on dialysis will die in the first five years, he said. Moses Allen was on dialysis for 21/2 years; Artis Allen, for more than a year. The son still gets quiet when he recalls the roses that would sit in the chairs at his dialysis center when one of the other patients had died. “I said, ‘Man, I’ll go ahead and try it,’ and I’m glad I did,’” Artis Allen said last week from his home in Mifflin Township in central Ohio. Near the couch where he sat were boxes full of the home dialysis equipment he no longer needs. “I feel a whole lot better.”

COLUMBUS (AP) — Ohio Republicans failed in an effort Thursday to bring a second congressional map up for a vote as they sought to defuse Democratic opposition to the state’s newly adopted map, with shouting erupting on the Ohio House floor over who fairly should represent the battleground state in Washington. Earlier in the day, GOP House Speaker William Batchelder released a revised plan for the state’s U.S. House districts, saying it was fairer to Democrats and he hoped it will garner support from Democratic legislators. Batchelder said his goal was to give Democrats a chance to support a congressional map with cleaner lines, more compact districts and better representation for blacks. His proposal also reinstated a single 2012 primary, something that would benefit both parties and save about $15 million. Both maps create 16 districts, 12 favoring Republicans and 4 favoring Democrats. The state is losing two congressional seats due to slow population growth. Democrats took Batchelder’s maneuver as an affront, saying they’d presented him with a map Wednesday night and he rejected it. House Democratic Leader Armond Budish said the proposal was for six Republican districts,
Fairness of death penalty questioned
Key changes in revised map A look at key changes in a revised map of Ohio congressional districts released Thursday by Republicans in the state House: • Unifies seven counties that were previously split (Clark, Fairfield, Hancock, Hardin, Montgomery, Wood, and Wyandot) • Reduces splits in two counties from three to two (Erie, Lucas) • Splits one county that was previously whole (Fayette) • Compacts U.S. Rep. Steve Stivers’ District 15 west and south of Columbus • Increases the black voting-age population in a new Columbus district from about 28 percent to about 30 percent • Splits the city of Toledo between two districts rather than three • Contains 56 percent rather than 31 percent of Lucas County in the lakeshore district merging the seats of U.S. Reps. Marcy Kaptur and Dennis Kucinich • Slightly increases black voting-age population in the Lucas County district • Unifies the city of Dayton into one rather than two districts, the one where U.S. Reps. Mike Turner and Steve Austria must run off • Increases black voting-age population in the Dayton district from 11 percent to 16 percent • Swaps Lincoln Heights and Green Hills neighborhoods between two Cincinnati area districts • Slightly increases the black voting-age population in Cincinnati’s District 1 ___ SOURCE: Ohio House of Representatives
four Democratic districts, and six Republican-leaning districts that were split along party lines enough to be competitive. “By creating all safe districts, you take the vote away from the people,” he said. State Rep. Robert Hagan predicted that enough Democrats would stick together to oppose a vote on the revised map, failing to give Republicans the 66 votes needed to waive House rules and bring their plan up for an immediate vote. The vote on suspending the rules was 58-34. Hagan called the special session “a useless exercise.”

BY ANDREW WELSH-HUGGINS Associated Press COLUMBUS (AP) — The retired judge overseeing the first review of Ohio’s 30-year-old death penalty law said Thursday he is concerned whether the state’s law is being properly applied. James Brogan, a former state appeals court judge, also said he’s worried about the discretion that state prosecutors have in deciding whether to pursue a death sentence at all. “Why is it that in one county the prosecutor seeks it on many more occasions than another prosecutor,” Brogan said. “Is it because urban crime is so much more serious in a larger city than in a rural community?” Chief Justice Maureen O’Connor, who convened the committee reviewing the law, emphasized in opening comments the panel is not to decide whether Ohio should have capital punishment. O’Connor, a Republican and former prosecutor, told committee members the goal is to produce a fair, impartial and balanced analysis of the state’s law. She gave the committee just over a year to complete its work. Prosecutors, defense attorneys, lawmakers, judges and academic experts are among those beginning debate on possible changes to Ohio’s 30-yearold death penalty law.

NATION/WORLD BRIEFLY
Data theft alleged WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. intelligence officials accused China and Russia on Thursday of systematically stealing American high-tech data for their own national economic gain. It was the most forceful and detailed public airing of U.S. allegations after years of private complaints. U.S. officials and cybersecurity experts said the U.S. must openly confront China and Russia in a broad diplomatic push to combat cyberattacks that are on the rise and represent a “persistent threat to U.S. economic security.” But experts said solving the problem won’t be easy. In a report released Thursday, U.S. intelligence agencies said “the governments of China and Russia will remain aggressive and capable collectors of sensitive U.S. economic information and technologies, particularly in cyberspace.”
Case goes to jury LOS ANGELES (AP) — Projecting images of Michael Jackson’s griefstricken children on a giant screen, a prosecutor told jurors Thursday the singer’s doctor took away their father with an overdose of a powerful anesthetic. With Jackson’s mother and siblings watching from the courtroom gallery, prosecutor David Walgren summoned memories of the dead star during his closing argument in the involuntary manslaughter trial of Dr. Conrad Murray. He showed a photo of Jackson at his last rehearsal before the picture of the three Jackson children — Prince, Paris and Blanket — at their father’s memorial.
Outlook for jobs cloudy WASHINGTON (AP) — Companies are more productive, fewer people are seeking unemployment benefits and service companies are adding jobs. Ideally, those trends could signal stronger growth, followed by more hiring. Yet until consumers consistently spend more, businesses are unlikely to hire enough to drive down unemployment. But more consumers need jobs and raises to keep spending enough to help the economy grow. The paradox has kept the economy from thriving more than two years after the recession officially ended. It’s also why economists think the unemployment rate stayed at 9.1 percent for a fourth straight month in October. The government will issue the October jobs report Friday.

Man wearing jail costume arrested DONORA, Pa. (AP) — A western Pennsylvania man was wearing a jail inmate costume when police arrested him on a weapons charge and allegedly for insulting police who came to arrest his friend on Halloween. The Observer-Reporter of Washington, Pa. reports Thursday that 22-year-old Gregory Moon was still wearing the black-andwhite striped costume when he was arraigned early Monday. He was given a bright orange jumpsuit when a district judge sent him to the Washington County Jail where he has yet to post $250,000 bond.

Greek PM abandons referendum on debt plan BY NICHOLAS PAPHITIS Associated Press ATHENS, Greece (AP) — Greece’s prime minister abandoned his explosive plan to put a European rescue deal to popular vote Thursday, keeping his government alive — but passionate squabbling in Athens left the country’s solvency in doubt and the eurozone in turmoil. Prime Minister George Papandreou reversed course after a rebellion within his own Socialist party over the referendum, but ignored repeated calls to resign and call elections. Chaos persisted in the country that coined the term: Papandreou faces a critical vote of confidence in his government Friday as the Socialist rebellion still simmers. And the main opposition conservatives were not placated, insisting on his resignation. Meanwhile, Greece’s cost of borrowing ballooned, with the interest demanded by markets to buy Greek 10-year bonds exceeding 31 percent — compared to 2 percent for European powerhouse Germany. Papandreou sparked a global crisis Monday when he announced he would put the latest European deal to cut Greece’s massive debts — a hard-fought accord that took months of negotiations — to a referendum.

GREEK PRIME Minister George Papandreou addresses members of parliament in Athens Thursday. Greece’s embattled prime minister says he has invited opposition conservatives to join talks on a major European debt deal, ignoring calls to hold an early general election. Papandreou on Thursday insisted he never would have put the question of whether Greece stays in the joint euro currency to a popular vote. The idea horrified other EU nations, Greece’s creditors and financial markets as investors fretted over the prospect of Greece being forced into a disorderly default. Papandreou was summoned to an emergency European meeting in Cannes, France, on Wednesday night, where the visibly irate French and German leaders said any referen-
dum would in fact be a question of whether Greece retains its cherished membership of the 17-nation euro common currency. They also put on hold the next, vital payout of Greece’s existing bailout until after a vote was held. A Greek Finance Ministry official told the AP that Greece has cash until mid-December. After that, without the 8 billion
($11 billion) disbursement, Greece would most likely be unable to service its debt or pay pensions and salaries. Finance Minister Evangelos Venizelos accompanied Papandreou to the Riviera but led a revolt against the referendum idea on his return to Athens before dawn Thursday. With Greece’s euro membership and bailout loan lifeline suddenly in danger, pressure mounted for Papandreou to resign. The conservative opposition and even his own deputies called for the creation of a transition government to pass the new European debt deal. Venizelos said, as the opposition now indicated it would support the European debt deal, a referendum was no longer necessary. “The government went to Cannes with the position that if the necessary consensus is formed there will be no need to hold a referendum,” he said. “We must highlight the fact that there is a window of a consensus.” He said the new debt deal would be brought to parliament under a procedure that would require a reinforced majority of 180 out of the 300 lawmakers to vote in favor. With the governing Socialists holding 152 seats, that means the debt deal will only pass if the opposition also votes in favor.
Cain struggles to overcome allegations controversy BY KASIE HUNT Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — Republican presidential hopeful Herman Cain struggled to overcome the storm of controversy from sexual harassment accusations on Thursday as the threat of a damaging written statement by one of his accusers and shifting explanations by a top aide left his efforts and even his candidacy in doubt. “This will not deter me” in the race for the White House, Cain declared, repeatedly denying the accusations in interviews on conservative media outlets. “Did you tell a woman she looked good?” radio host Sean Hannity asked. “That dress looks hot?” “Nope.” “Any flirtation that you can think of?” “Nope,” Cain said firmly. At the same time, he and aides tried to demonstrate a campaign returning to nor-
malcy or even benefiting from the controversy. Cain held private meetings in New York during the day, including one on foreign policy with former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger. And campaign spokesman J.D. Gordon said donors had sent in $1.2 million since news of the allegations first surfaced, far above the customary amount for several days. Since it was reported late Sunday that at least two women had complained about Cain when they worked at the National Restaurant Association — and had received financial settlements — Cain has said consistently he never sexually harassed anyone. But his answers to other pertinent questions have changed. In one instance, he first denied knowing of any settlements with former employees, then said he recalled one, explaining he had been aware of an “agree-
ment” but not a “settlement.” On Wednesday, Cain said he believed a political consultant for rival Rick Perry had leaked the information. The consultant, Curt Anderson, denied it. In a television interview on Thursday with Fox News Channel, Mark Block, Cain’s chief of staff, first stood by the accusation, then reversed course. “Until we get all the facts, I’m just going to say we accept what Mr. Anderson said.” It was unclear when all the facts might emerge. Joel Bennett, an attorney for one of the women alleging sexual harassment, said he was seeking permission from the National Restaurant Association to release a statement on her behalf. Under an agreement stemming from her accusation in 1999, the woman agreed not to speak publicly about the episode she said occurred when she worked for the trade group and Cain was its president.
Protesters disavow Oakland violence BY LISA LEFF Associated Press OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Occupy Wall Street supporters who staged rallies that shut down the nation’s fifthbusiest port during a day of protests condemned on Thursday the demonstrators who clashed with police in the latest flare-up of violence in Oakland, Calif. Riot police arrested more than 80 protesters in the city’s downtown, where bands of demonstrators threw chunks of concrete and metal pipes as well as lit roman candles and firebombs, police said. Five protesters and several officers were injured. “I think it will allow detractors to criticize the movement,” said protester Hale Nicholson. He has been staying at the Occupy Oakland encampment and said he and most people there were pacifists. The protest outside the Port of Oakland, which reopened Thursday, represented an escalation in tactics as a movement that had largely been about marches, rallies and tent camps targeted a major symbol of the nation’s commerce. The violence that followed, however, raised questions about the direction of the movement and whether the

Big Buddies program underway Big Brothers Big Sisters of Shelby and Darke County has announced that its Big Buddies program is up and running for the 2011-12 school year. This is the 12th year the program has been in place. The Buddies program is an eight-month commitment where high school sophomores, juniors and seniors agree to mentor elementary school children two times per month. During these meetings, the high school students, under the supervision of Big Brothers Big Sisters staff, work with one or two children in educational and recreational activities. The program continues to promote social and educational enhancing activities, as well as fitness, nutrition, and personal safety. The Buddies program this year is at five sites in both counties: Woodland Heights and Versailles in Darke County and Longfellow, Northwood, and Whittier Elementary schools in Shelby County. “Due to the closing of Central Elementary, we were able to establish a new site at Northwood, as it changed from an in-
termediate to an elementary school,” said Executive Director Lisa Brown. High school mentoring programs have become a widespread component of many nationally affiliated Big Brothers Big Sisters agencies. Studies prove that children who spend time with positive role models are more likely to become healthy productive adults. The Big Buddies program has proven beneficial not only for the “Littles” but for the high school volunteers, as well. This year, there are 126 volunteers: From Ansonia: Nichole Birt, James Drees, Kelsey Gelhaus, Alysia Hoying, Kari Kramer, Kelsey Kremer, Sierra Leonard, Jennifer Mayo and Katie Yount. From Greenville: Pankti Bhausar, Britnee Dunfree, Jeanna Gnade, Savannah Hauberg, Amanda Helfrich, Samantha Jay, Brittany Kuhn, Will McCabe, Ryan Simons, Brandi Spille, Douglas Taylor, Jessica Thompson and Hugo Vanderwalt.

Election Day, Nov. 8, 2011
Three candidates vie for two seats DEGRAFF — Voters in the Riverside School District will decide among three candidates running for two seats on the Board of Education when they go to the polls Nov. 8. Also, voters in Quincy will decide on a replacement tax levy for the village’s current expenses and voters in DeGraff will consider an issue to allow sale of alcoholic beverages at a restaurant. There is no competition for council seats in both villages, with two candidates running to fill two seats in each town. Running for Riverside Board of Education are Robert J. Bender, of rural Bellefontaine; Brian P. Knight, of DeGraff; and Angie Shoe, of DeGraff. None of the candidates are incumbents. The Riverside candidates responded recently to the following questions from the Sidney Daily News: 1. Why are you running for a seat on the Riverside Board of Education? Bender: “I am running for the Riverside Board of Education because 1.) I want Riverside to attain and retain an Excellent School rating in a completely safe environment. 2.) I want to change the overall perception of the district. I circulated my petition believing we had a bad district. The more I looked into our test scores, financial figures and met with staff, I have come to realize we have a very strong foundation for the future. We have a good school district. I want the district to be the reason that families and business move to the DeGraff and Quincy area thus, increasing property values and
Knight
Shoe
bringing jobs closer to home. 3.) I want to ensure this district never squanders taxpayer money again. At the end of the 2006 fiscal year, this district had over $2.5 million in carry-over. In 2009, the district had to ask the community for an additional 1.25 percent income tax (in addition to the already 0.75 percent in place) AND borrow $200,000 to make ends meet. It is my promise to do everything possible to return the 0.75 percent income tax back to the community and operate only on the 1.25 percent.” Knight: “I believe it is important for everyone who is able to serve their community in one way or another. In the past, I have served on the DeGraff Village Council, on the Riverside EMS as a volunteer EMT, and I have been active in my church. Last year I volunteered in my son’s kindergarten class at Riverside. When the opportunity to run for the school board became available, I decided that it would be a constructive and useful way to serve the school and community. I grew up in the community and graduated from Riverside. I have a vested interest in the Riverside School system because this is where my children will be educated. I believe that a
Bender
strong school system contributes to the health and well being of the community.” Shoe: “As a graduate of Riverside with two young children, the future of the school and its success is important to me. My plan is to prepare the district for the pending funding cutbacks and develop measures to improve education for our students.” 2. What are your qualifications for being a school board member? Shoe: “My education and experience in accounting and auditing for a financial institution will benefit the district. I will bring this expertise to bear to ensure our district is accountable and forward-thinking.” Knight: “Effective communication is important to any organization. I am a good listener. I do not jump to conclusions. I favor a common-sense approach for making fair and logical decisions. I do not have a micro-management mentality. I know and I understand that the role of the school board is to establish budgets and set policy. I know that one board member has no power to act alone, but must act as part of the total board.” Bender: “I am an experienced grant writer. I understand state and federal
funding. My current employment requires interaction with all socioeconomic families/groups and many units of government. I believe in this community, this school district and I believe we should expect excellence in everything we do. I am inherently positive and willing to take on challenges. This district has some very daunting and unique challenges right around the corner that will require these attributes.” 3. What are the major issues facing the school district? Knight: “Like most other school districts, finances are a major chalfor Riverside. lenge However, we must remember that financial resources are a tool and not an end in themselves. It is the board’s and administration’s responsibility to maximize the educational benefit with the financial resources available. Academic success is another challenge that Riverside has addressed and has made significant strides in. It is important for the school to continue to build on this past success to provide a world-class education for our students.” Bender: “There are three major issues. The first issue is the public perception of the school. The overall perception of the school is poor but Riverside has a lot of things going in the right direction. Parents either are or are considering sending children to other school districts in hopes of a better education. Even worse, families are less likely to move to this community when considering relocation. This affects our property values, school
funding and business opportunity in the community. The second issue is the upcoming change in administration. Superintendent Jim Zerkle is to be commended for his work with righting the ship. Unfortunately, he is ready to retire and will no longer be with the school after this year. It is imperative the board wisely choose administrative replacements, keep a very close eye on the administration and hold high standards of accountability in the coming years because we cannot afford any fiscal failure or backward trending of the test scores. The third major issue is the financial situation. The school is on the right path. For the first time since 2001, the school has completed a fiscal year spending less then it brought in. This must continue. The board must be prepared to make necessary adjustments if the spending cuts that have been looming indeed happen.” Shoe: “Two primary issues are of concern for the district: the significant decrease in state and federal funding that is expected in the next two years and continuing to improve student test scores and quality of education.” Shoe, 27, is a graduate of Riverside and Edison Community College with an associate of applied business degree in accounting. She lives in DeGraff with her husband, Dustin, and two daughters, Kylie and Addison. She is a deputy clerk at the Bellefontaine Municipal Court. Her husband is the business owner of DASH Builders LLC. “My family instilled
core values that I continue to carry with me today: integrity, tough-mindedness and dedication,” she said. Bender, 35, is married and the father of four children. He is a nonprofit housing developer. His community activities include Riverside PTO president, DeGraff Country Fair Board, youth soccer coach, Bellefontaine Kiwanis, Ohio Fishers of Men and Christ Our King Church. Knight, 41, is a project engineer for Honda Transmission Manufacturing. He has been married 17 years and has three children: Samuel, 7; Gillian, 4; and Valerie, 2. In his free time he said he enjoys spending time with his family, playing with his children, reading, home improvement projects and family game nights. Also on the ballot will be a 2-mill tax levy for five years for Quincy. The levy is a replacement to cover current expenses of the village. Running unopposed for Quincy Village Council are incumbents Karen Sue Arnett and John Hickman. In DeGraff, voters will decide on a request to allow Gangsters Ristorante to sell spirituous liquor, wine and mixed beverages for on-premises consumption and beer, wine and mixed beverages for on-premise and off-premise consumption in containers. Running unopposed for DeGraff Village Council are incumbents Jennifer L. and Ganson-Bowman Charles Bertschman. Also, incumbent John Freese is running for one of two open seats on the DeGraff Board of Public Affairs.
Four in contention for trustee position BY TERRY PELLMAN Four candidates are seeking one Turtle Creek Township trustee position in Tuesday’s election. There is no contest for the fiscal officer position. Incumbent Michael P. Eilerman, 8757 Russell Road, is seeking to continue his service as a trustee. Eilerman and his wife Kim are the owners of Father Hubbard’s Cupboards. He has 20 years of experience in the position of township trustee. Eilerman invites residents to feel free to stop in his Sidney business to discuss any matters or concerns. In his letter to voters, Eilerman states, “The leadership I have shown and my ability to listen to you the citizen, allows me to make decisions based on what works best for you and the township.” Eilerman notes that he has a commercial driver’s license so that he can operate the township truck and maintain roads. He points out that during his time as a trustee, the township has improved its road repair program by working with other townships and the county. Eilerman adds that the Shelby Memory Gardens, now a township cemetery, has been restored by proper care. Also seeking the post is Eric Ditmer, 9383 Greenville Road, a grain farmer. Ditmer has served on the HardinHouston Board of Education for 12 years, but as his son is now a senior, decided to try to serve the public in another way. He is familiar with the duties of a trustee, as his fa-
Eilerman
Ditmer
ther and grandfather held such a post in years past in Washington Township. Ditmer has a commercial driver’s license, so he will be prepared to drive large township trucks for road maintenance and other duties. He has operated heavy equipment for most of his life, and has developed an interest in doing so. Ditmer states that he expects the township to face tight funding and that the trustees will have to work around that reality. He explains that through his experience in farming, he has learned to both plan for the long term, yet make decisions quickly as circumstances change. Ditmer notes that roads are a major factor in township responsibility. He looks forward to keeping roads safe in winter weather, and maintaining general road conditions in the other seasons. He states that his major priority is meeting the needs of the residents and staying in contact with them. He feels that in such a position, one must enjoy interacting with the people. He cites his experience in serving on the Board of Appeals as an example of working directly with the populace to consider their needs and pledges to be accessible.
Siegrist
Pleiman
Ditmer and wife Teresa have a daughter, Bailey, and son, Austin. Also running is Greg Holthaus, 11230 Luthman Road, Anna, who works in sales for Koenig Equipment. He is getting married during the coming summer. Holthaus decided to run for trustee in order to address what he sees as some issues requiring examination. He cites as an example the matter of hiring others to plow snow. He feels that the trustees should perform such duties, and if elected, he would intend promote such a practice more fully.
Holthaus expects the township to face budget challenges in the coming years. He sees the necessity to make the best use of funds and to do as much work as possible within township officials. He favors examination of duties to determine when it is most economical to hire work done if it is beyond the scope of township staff. Holthaus sees labor costs as competing with materials, and in general, wishes to closely examine where funding priorities may be changed. Asked about his familiarity with heavy equipment due to his job, he states that he has knowledge of the heavy equipment market and pricing options. Holthaus received his commercial driver’s license specifically to prepare for his candidacy. He adds, “I’m willing to put in whatever it takes to do the job.”
The fourth candidate is Jonathan Siegrist, 10509 Patterson-Halpin Road, who is seeking a first term. He works as an auto mechanic in Fort Loramie. He and wife Joni are expecting their first child. Siegrist decided to run as he felt that some operations for the township could be improved upon. He hopes to find ways to improve snow plowing and to better utilize available funds for road repairs. Siegrist feels that his schedule would allow him to devote sufficient time to township duties. Siegrist already has a commercial license that will permit him to drive a snowplow. Public service is not new to Siegrist, who has served as a volunteer firefighter with the Fort Loramie Fire Department since 1999. Karen Pleiman, 8347 State Route 705, is run-
ning unopposed for Turtle Creek Township fiscal officer. Pleiman was originally named to the position in 1995 to fill an unexpired term, was elected in 1996, and has been successfully reelected ever since. She and husband Gary have three grown children. Pleiman expects funding to be an ongoing challenge in the next term. In particular, she cites the cost of paving 26 miles of township roads. She explains that the typical cost of repaving a road is around $75,000. Roads with a lot of heavy truck traffic will require more attention. Pleiman adds that operating Shelby Memory Gardens puts additional strain on the budget. Turtle Creek Trustees meet the second Monday of the month at 7:30 at the Turtle Creek Township house south of Hardin at 8477 HardinWapakoneta Road.
Various levies to appear on ballots Two fire levies, one ambulance levy and one village levy will appear on the ballot Tuesday for Shelby County voters. Lockington The village of Lockington has placed a levy on the ballot for the payment of firefighting companies to operate within the village. The additional tax levy has been set at a rate not to exceed 2.6 mills for each $1 of property valuation. This means for each $100 of valuation, the property owner will be paying 26 cents. The 5year-levy, if approved, will begin this year, with
the first collection of funds occurring in 2012. Perry/Port/Salem The Perry, Port Salem Ambulance District has placed a tax renewal on the ballot. The levy is for current operating expenses and will not exceed 0.8 mills for each $1 of property valuation, which means property owners will be paying 8 cents for each $100 of their property’s value. The 5-year levy, if approved, will begin this year, with the first collection due in 2012. Loramie Fire District A replacement tax levy is on the ballot for
the Loramie Fire District. The purpose of the levy is for fire protection in the district, which might include the purchasing of equipment, land and buildings, payment of permanent, part-time or volunteer firemen and contracts with other firefighting companies as a rate not exceeding 1.5 mills for each $1 of valuation. This means property owners would pay 15 cents for each $100 of valuation on their property. The 3-year levy, if approved, would begin in 2012 and the first collection due in 2013.
Russia Fire District An additional tax levy has been placed on the ballot for the Russia Fire District of Loramie Township. The levy, if approved, would help with providing and maintaining fire apparatus, equipment or appliances for the fire district. The levy will not exceed 1.82 mills for each $1 of valuation. The property owner will pay just over 18 cents for each $100 of valuation on their property. The 5-year levy, if approved, would begin in 2011, with the first collection due in 2012.

No contested elections for Jackson Center BY TERRY PELLMAN JACKSON CENTER — There are no contested elections for Jackson Center mayor or village council in Tuesday’s elecdtion. Veteran Mayor Scott Klopfenstein of 301 Oak St. will be elected to another term, having served 28 years in the position. Klopfenstein served on council for six years prior to being chosen to serve as mayor. Klopfenstein originally sought a council seat soon after moving to the village so that he could help address some village issues. It is his desire to continue to work on behalf of the village “because there’s always something going on that you’re interested in.” Klopfenstein works at Lacal Equipment in Jackson Center. The mayor and council members are now in the initial stages of seeking a new village administrator. Advertisements have been placed and the village expects to narrow the list of applicants down to two or three finalists. The village is also facing the long-term effects of seeing two employers move from the community, and there is a couple of empty business

structure in the community. Still, Klopfenstein points out that Airstream has been hiring and the community still has a strong industrial base. Income tax revenue has actually been higher this year. The mayor adds that the village has the essential retail stores for consumers and that one goal is to increase retail strength. Klopfenstein and wife Kathy have three adult children: Isaac, Adrianne and Aaron. Kenneth Gloyeske will serve another term on village council. Gloyeske is a veterinarian who works at the Tri-County Veterinary Service. He has served in that capacity for 14 years. He states, “I always thought that Jackson Center was a well-run village, and I had an opportunity to step in for someone who had moved out of town.” He has found the experience to be “thoroughly
Woodruff
Kohler
enjoyable.” He has found that serving the community has been a positive experience because the village has had good administrators and “a tremendous group of employees, so the village kind of runs itself.” Gloyeske sees the village as being fortunate in having its own electric service through a coalition of more than 100 communities. He explains that this arrangement keeps the rates low and results in free street lighting. He also sees an advantage for Jackson Center residents in that the village takes care of curb, gutter and sidewalk work without any assessments. special Gloyeske adds that the water and sewer rates are advantageously low. He is pleased with the industrial base in the community, and cites as examples Airstream, Lacal and Plastipak. The village has been impacted by seeing Hol-
Vets Night Out planned BY TERRY PELLMAN JACKSON CENTER — The Jackson Center community is going to host a special event for veterans and family members of veterans Nov. 10 at 7 p.m. The Veterans Night Out will be held at the Jackson Center Family Life Center at the corner of Ohio 65 and Davis Street. For those not familiar with the location, the building is set back from the street and is located in a former lumber sales building. Veteran Ron Leininger is one of the event organizers. He explains that the purpose of the special night is so that he and others can reach out to “veterans, spouses of veterans, children and people who might know people who have been in the military,” to inform them about benefits and things that are available to them. That may involve medical services or such things as special benefits for those who served in specific military actions. Leininger states that too often, veterans and their families are unaware of what assistance may exist. He explains, “We just want to sit down with all of these people and let them know where they can go to get help.” The program that evening is meant for anyone in the area. The 2nd District of the American Legion has posted the event on its website, notifying veterans from
surrounding counties. Leininger emphasizes that he and the others involved are doing what they can with resources available to extend the invitation far and wide. That includes distributing information through churches and the Veterans Administration system. This program is for all veterans, but one topic that Leininger is concentrating on is the matter of the substance known as Agent Orange. He gives this as an example of a topic that veterans and their families do not have enough information about. This is a chemical used during the Vietnam War to defoliate areas of dense vegetation so that the enemy could not so easily move troops supplies, and equipment through those heavily forested regions. Over the past decades, many veterans have come to believe that exposure to Agent Orange had lethal, longterm effects such as certain forms of cancer. Leininger estimates that around 95 percent of Vietnam veterans he speaks with have never been checked to see if they are carrying the effects of Agent Orange. Leininger emphasizes the need for Vietnam veterans or their family members to check with veterans affairs officials. It can be determined if a veteran was in an area of Vietnam where the chemical was used. Speaker Ed Ball from the county veteran’s of-
fice will provide information on critical issues such as post traumatic war distress, brain-related injuries and morphine addiction because of being wounded and placed under morphine to relieve pain. Any questions regarding veteran’s services will be welcome. One other Jackson Center-based veterans project of note involves the donations of clean coats for men and women who are veterans. Coats can be dropped off at Leininger’s home at 210 Cole St. in Jackson Center, or at a collection barrel at the Jackson Center Post Office. The coats are then taken to the Dayton Office of the Veterans Administration for distribution around Western Ohio and Indiana. Leininger states that a disturbing percentage of the homeless males in America is veterans and in need of such help. The coat collection will continue into the spring. Leininger wants to help veterans in honor of those who were wounded and died in service to their country. He feels that the local area has done well in serving veterans, but wants to insure that all eligible veterans are made aware of the services and benefits available. At the same time, Leininger wants the efforts to bring glory to God, and perhaps bring back some who have fallen away from faith due to experiencing hard times.
loway and GKN leave. These were the second third and largest employer contributors to the income base. tax Wren That tax base reduction will be an ongoing challenge, so Gloyeske hopes to attract industry He also knows that the village is going to be facing the retirement of a number of long-term staff over the coming years, resulting in “A tremendous wealth of knowledge” being lost. Gloyeske and wife Barbara are the parents of daughter Kelly and sons Brian and Marc. Karen Woodruff will also serve another term. She is retired from Jackson Center Hardware, and also worked at a beauty shop and as a child care provider. Woodruff is just finishing her third year on council, after being appointed to an unfinished term. The long-time village resident says of serving on council, “I find it very interesting.” She finds that it provides an opportunity to learn about things about which you may have had concerns. Serving on council has helped her to gain a new perspective on what was required to operate the village. She wants to make the village as good as possible to live in. Woodruff states, “We’d love to get more businesses in town,” a factor critical to the tax base. Woodruff hopes to see businesses come to the village to occupy vacant spaces left behind when others have ceased local operations. She characterizes the village as a town in which people take care of the community and each other. She and others volunteer to decorate the town and keep the village looking attractive. Woodruff and husband Tom have seven grandchildren. They have one adult son and one son is deceased. Kristen Davis will be serving on the Jackson Center Board of Education for the first time. She works as the general accounting manager at Emerson Climate Technologies. She and husband Luke are the parents of twin sons Carson and Jackson, and daughter Lilly. When a vacancy ap-
peared to be certain, Davis was encouraged by some friends to seek the position. She decided that her background and interests would be a good fit for such a position, so she filed to run. She will be running unopposed. Davis states that she has no specific agenda going in. She sees service on the board as a chance to help make the school district as good as it can be and build upon its recent successes. She observes that the school leadership has “a lot of energy” and is supported by a strong board. She feels that the district parents “really care about the school and want it to be the best it can be.” Davis hopes to see the state test scores rise, and is open to the changes and innovation taking place. She feels that changes need to be evaluated to see what does actually work best. Davis emphasizes, “I’m definitely not afraid of change.” She believes that is important to be continually improving, and that she is very positive over how the school is functioning. Matt Kohler has served on the board of for eight education years. He is a sales manager for Asset Intelligence, a firm that provides GPS technology for the transportation industry. He and wife Marilyn have two grown sons, Justin and Adam. Kohler looks forward to the next term stating, “I believe that Jackson Center will be offered an opportunity with the OFSC (state building commission) to finish our project, something that was started about 10 years ago.” He adds, “I’d kind of like to see that through.” Kohler hopes to assist in the progress already under way in state test scores, noting that Jackson Center has made great strides in that area. He is very pleased with the progress and hopes to see that continue. Kohler explains that he initially ran for the position to help put in place some new ideas, such as all-day kindergarten, pre-K classes and a vocational agriculture program, things that he saw as priorities he shared with others on the board. Looking forward, Kohler feels that funding from the state will be
the greatest challenge facing Board members. That uncertainty requires the district to be very cautious. Kohler praises the administration and treasurer for doing a good job in keeping the finances in line. He asks to residents of the school district for their continued support and interest. He emphasizes, “The district has been very supportive of the schools.” He is very happy to see the formation of the parent-teacher organization and is impressed with their work, especially in impacting programs for the elementary grades. He is gratified to see so much all around cooperation. Kohler is impressed by how much work the parents are putting into the educational process: “You can always do more when there’s a group working toward common goals.” Brad Wren is also an incumbent, seeking his third term. Wren works at EMI Corp. in Jackson Center. He and wife Bev are the parents of daughters Erin and Jessica and son Sean. Asked why he is seeking another term. Wren explains that there is unfinished business he wants to work on: “I feel like we’ve made some pretty tremendous strides over the past eight years … accomplished a lot of what we set out to do when I first ran. And we know that the state of the finances of the state of Ohio for school funding is challenging still.” He adds that it is possible that during the upcoming term the district will be looking at a building project. The result would see the oldest sections of the building replaced. Newer sections would continue in use, some of which were built just 10 years ago. Wren is pleased that the school administrative staff has been stabilized, after a span during which several administrators spent short times in the district leadership. Wren says that the district now has a strong leadership team in place that is making improvement and providing continuity. Wren believes that the district is doing well financially but knows that finances will be a challenge, and the district kept in suspense by the state budget and the state of the economy.
Church to celebrate 150th anniversary MONTRA — Emanuel Evangelical Lutheran Church located in Montra will observe its 150th anniversary Sunday at a public celebration. A first-person program on Martin Luther will be held at the church at 10 a.m. This is

Nov. 4, 1911 Many persons have suggested that the new high school should be erected on the present site of the Central building. Such persons have never stopped to consider the fact that the Central building could not be dispensed with as a grade school. It is very much needed for that purpose and if it supplanted the high school there is no other building to which these children, 400 of them, could be sent. The old Central building is the best school house in the city today and if it can be made safe by a new heating plant it should be done. This building was once the pride of the city and the state. ––––– The dining room of the M.E. church was well filled last evening with an earnest crowd of girls who had joined the new organization for the girls that was suggested by the supper served on Friday nights during the Oliver meetings. A number of new names were added to the membership list at the meeting last night.

If a affected most often by more potent remedy is Crohn’s. needed, prednisone, one
of the cortisone drugs, often is used. A new group of medicines called biologicals is highly effective when the more common ones aren’t making a dent in improving symptoms. Remicade (infliximab) is one example. DEAR DR. DONOHUE: Is 1,000 IU of vitamin D too much? The doctor recommended it. I am 84. — F.H. ANSWER: The new recommendations for vitamin D are 600 IU for adults up to 70 years of age, and 800 IU for those older than 70. Your dose is not excessive. The upper limit is set at 4,000 IU a day. DEAR DR. DONOHUE: Please enlighten me on the pros and cons of iodized salt versus salt without iodine. I used very little iodized salt in my cooking and rarely at the table. What is the use of salt without iodine? — B.S. ANSWER: In the early years of the 20th
century, hypothyroidism (a sluggish thyroid gland) and goiter (thyroid enlargement) were rampant. This was due to iodine deficiency. In the 1920s, the government felt that adding iodine to salt would solve this problem. Salt was cheap, and everyone used it. So iodized salt became standard. It worked. The incidence of hypothyroidism and goiter was greatly reduced. Iodine doesn’t affect the taste of salt. Even if you don’t use iodized salt today, you still get enough from diet. Ocean fish, shellfish, milk, cheeses, yogurt and eggs have a good supply of iodine. Furthermore, most commercial baked goods and other foods contain iodized salt. People on a low-salt diet often wonder if they are getting enough iodine. They are. You use salt without iodine for the same reasons you’d use iodized salt — because the recipe calls for salt.
Nov 4, 1936 Following the general trend that marked the vote throughout the nation, the voters of Shelby county yesterday rolled up Democratic majorities in nearly all cases in one of the heaviest, if not the heaviest, vote ever recorded in the county. Turning in Democratic majorities for all state and national offices while giving majorities to two Republican candidates for county offices, 13,423 citizens of the county marched to the polls to record their choice in the recordbreaking vote. The county gave substantial majorities to President Roosevelt, Governor Davey, and Congressman Kloeb. All school bond issues in the county also received a favorable vote. ––––– The honor of being the first precinct to report in at the board of elections in Shelby county last night went to
North Franklin which reported at 9:29 p.m. The second precinct was Third Ward D at 10:40 p.m. The last precinct to report in was East Loramie which appeared at 8:15 a.m.
50 years Nov. 4, 1961 When a 36-foot metal silo loaded with 50 to 60 tons of silage crashed to earth, it usually makes a loud noise. That’s what happened when such a silo toppled over at the farm of Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Allen on U.S. 25 just south of the north Sidney interchange. Allen estimated today that combined loss to the silo and barn would reach at least $2,000. He said a wind prevailing at the time may have been a factor in the crash. ––––– The Shelby County Basketball League opened its 1961-62 season and for one of the defending co-champions, Fairlawn’s Jets, the cage campaign started on the wrong foot as Jackson Center’s Tigers edged Fairlawn, 52-51, at Fairlawn Friday night. Jackson Center also took the reserve contest in a thrilling, 40-39, overtime duel.
25 years Nov. 4, 1986 The Fairlawn High School Vo Ag team did well in state competition. The Soil Judging team finished in 5th place. Competing for the Jets were Rusty Lemmon, Jackie Anderson and Tony Bensman. ––––– The Sidney High School football team won a number of post-season awards. Taking first team all GMVC honors were Kendall Lee (quarterback), Jim Gagemeier (defensive end) and Nick Tackas (center). Other Jackets made the second and third teams.

Well, I would like to share how being the giver is a blessing as well. My children and I eat lunch out on Saturdays. Most recently, we went to one of our favorite restaurants. As we were being seated, I noticed an elderly gentleman eating alone. He read the paper, ate his meal and kept to himself.
I was struck by how alone he seemed to be. All during the lunch, I couldn’t shake the feeling that I should reach out. Finally, I gave in. I went to the counter and paid for his meal. When the waitress brought our check to the table, she asked if we knew the man. I responded no, that we just wanted to do something nice. She then confided to me that he was a regular there, but she hadn’t seen him lately because he had just lost his wife. Abby, I was so glad I had followed my heart and reached out. I can only pray
that he was as pleased by my anonymous gift as I was to give it. — RECEIVING BY GIVING IN ILLINOIS DEAR RECEIVING BY GIVING: I’m sure he was. Your letter illustrates the pleasure that comes when we follow the dictates of our hearts. I applaud your generous gesture.

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.

Buck Eyes An inside look at Ohio State football WHERE ARE THEY NOW?
BUCKEYE BUSTERS
NAME: Vaughn Broadnax HOMETOWN: Xenia OHIO STATE YEARS: 1980-83 HIGHLIGHTS: Broadnax was a three-year starter at fullback who spent much of his time blocking for Keith Byars and Tim Spencer. But he also rushed for 1,085 yards and scored 14 touchdowns in his career. His best season was when he gained 514 yards and scored nine touchdowns in 1982. AFTER OSU: Broadnax is a manager for the United States Postal Service in Indianapolis.
1: Who selected David Boston in
the first round of the 1998 NFL draft? 2: Which shoe did Keith Byars
lose on his legendary 67-yard run against Illinois in 1984? 3: How many passes did Shawn Spring intercept when he was the Big Ten’s Defensive Player of the Year in 1996?
SAY WHAT?
RECRUITING UPDATE
“I can throw it a little bit.”
4: Who has the Ohio State career
record for rushing touchdowns? 5: How many consecutive 100-yard
rushing games did Archie Griffin have?
— Ohio State tailback Dan Herron talks about the possibilty of him passing the ball out of the wildcat formation, in which he takes a direct snap from the center..
Answers: 1. Arizona Cardinals; 2. Left; 3. None; 4. Pete Johnson (56); 5. 31
Cameron Burrows, a junior cornerback from Trotwood-Madison, was at the Ohio State-Wisconsin game last Saturday and reportedly has been invited to the LSU-Alabama game this Saturday by Alabama. Michael Thomas. a 2012 wide receiver recruit from Fork Union Military Academy, has verbally committed to OSU. Thomas caught 86 passes for 1,656 yards and 21 touchdowns at Woodland Hills (Calif.) Taft High School in 2010. He is the nephew of former NFL receiver Keyshawn Johnson. Billy Price, a 6-4, 280-pound junior defensive lineman from Austintown Fitch, has offers from Ohio State, Michigan, Nebraska, Notre Dame, Tennessee, UCLA, SMU and others.
Indiana at Ohio State, Noon, Saturday, BTN QUARTERBACKS
RECEIVERS
Braxton Miller never looked more in control at quarterback than he did in Ohio State’s 33-29 win over Wisconsin last Saturday night. His 40-yard touchdown pass to Devin Smith for the game-winning score might have saved the season for OSU. But it also might have created slightly excessive expectations of what Miller can do on a regular basis. True freshman Tre Roberson, last year’s Mr. Football in Indiana, became IU’s starting quarterback two games ago. He replaced Edward Wright-Baker. Roberson has completed 60 percent of his passes for two touchdowns, with one interception, and has averaged 102 yards rushing a game as the starter. Advantage: Even
To put it in recessionary terms, Ohio State’s wide receivers have had their hours cut back or their jobs downsized. No OSU receiver has caught more than four passes in a game this season. Against Illinois, there was only one pass completion and at Miami no wide receiver had a catch. Indiana lost two of its top three receivers earlier this week when Damarlo Belcher was booted off the team for that old favorite, a “violation of team rules,” and Duwyce Wilson suffered a season-ending knee injury. Belcher, who was suspended for the Northwestern game before being permanently separated from the team, caught 78 passes last season. Advantage: Even
< OFFENSIVE LINEMEN
Ohio State’s offensive line did a lot of good work when the offense rolled up 457 yards against Wisconsin. But also give the line credit for something it didn’t do. After having nine false start penalties in its previous three games, it had only one flag thrown for that violation last Saturday. Center Will Matte (31 career starts) might be Indiana’s best offensive lineman, but he has missed the last two games with a knee injury. IU’s depth chart lists him as a starter this week. Tackle Andre McDonald has 20 career starts. Indiana has used six different starting lineups on its offensive line this season. Advantage: Ohio State
< DEFENSIVE LINEMEN John Simon and Johnathan Hankins have been solid all season and now they’re getting some help. Adam Bellamy added a sack to the two Simon had against Wisconsin. Maybe the most impressive work the defensive line did in that game was holding the Badgers’ powerful running game to 89 yards. It hasn’t been pretty for Indiana’s front seven on defense lately. In the last three games, the Hoosiers have given up 59, 45 and 59 points. Northwestern gained 616 yards (317 rushing) against them last week. Before that, Iowa went for 456 yards (203 rushing) and Wisconsin rolled for 524 yards (332 rushing). Three-year starter Adam Replogle (4 sacks) is probably the best defensive lineman IU has. Advantage: Ohio State
< LINEBACKERS
DEVIN SMITH The 6-foot-3, 190-pound freshman from Massillon sent OSU fans into a frenzy when he reeled in a 40-yard touchdown pass from Braxton Miller to beat Wisconsin on Saturday. Smith has 227 receiving yards and 4 TDs.
< RUNNING BACKS It’s obvious Dan Herron is determined to make up for lost time in the six regular-season games he has been allowed to play after serving a six-game suspension. Herron made it two for two in 100-yard rushing games since his return when he ran for 160 yards against Wisconsin. Carlos Hyde, who has nearly disappeared from the offense since Herron’s return, could get more carries this week because No. 2 tailback Jordan Hall suffered a sprained ankle against Wisconsin and No. 4 tailback Jaamal Berry has been suspended after being charged with assault. Junior college transfer Stephen Houston leads Indiana with 577 yards and six touchdowns. He rushed for 151 yards on 19 carries in a 59-38 loss to Northwestern last week. Advantage: Ohio State

It was no surprise that Andrew Sweat was the player pressuring Wisconsin quarterback Russell Wilson on the Badgers’ final play last Saturday. He leads the Buckeyes in tackles with 57. Freshman linebacker Ryan Shazier continued to impress, getting a blocked punt against Wisconsin. Indiana senior linebacker Leon Beckum has played the last two games after missing six games because of a knee injury in the season opener. He led Indiana in tackles for losses last season. Middle linebacker Jeff Thomas has 4.5 tackles for losses. Redshirt freshman Chase Hoobler is the brother of former Ohio State player Chad Hoobler. Advantage: Ohio State
< DEFENSIVE BACKS Ohio State gave up two passing touchdowns in 2 ½ minutes in the fourth quarter against Wisconsin. Add that to a secondhalf collapse against Nebraska and a close call against Toledo and there might be some reason for concern. But Wisconsin’s Wilson was the first quarterback since Michigan State’s Kirk Cousins to pass for more than 200 yards against OSU. Indiana has given up 15 touchdown passes, five more than any other team in the the Big Ten. The Hoosiers start two true freshmen in the defensive backfield. Advantage: Ohio State
< SPECIAL TEAMS Drew Basil has hit his last nine field goal attempts, though he had to sneak his only attempt against Wisconsin through the uprights. Ben Buchanan is averaging 41.3 yards per punt. Jordan Hall’s kickoff return was an important part of OSU’s final drive against Wisconsin. Advantage: Ohio State

Tradition not always a good thing There are rebuilding jobs. There are major rebuilding jobs. And then there is Indiana football. At places like Ohio State, Michigan and Notre Dame, buildings are named after football coaches who won year after year after year. Who would qualify for such an honor at Indiana? Bo McMillan, maybe? McMillan, who left Indiana in 1947, is the last Hoosiers football coach to depart with a winning record for his time in Bloomington. Thirteen coaches have followed him, including current first-year coach Kevin Wilson. None of the 12 between McMillan and Wilson could get above the .500 mark for their career, and Wilson is off to a bad start with a 1-8 record so far. Winning at Indiana is like an Iron Man competition for coaches. Only no one ever gets to the finish line. Some pretty good coaches have come and gone at IU, confident they would be the ones to reverse the course of Hoosiers football history. John Pont, whose teams were 31-51-1 at Indiana from 1965-1972, had a 55-27-3 record at Miami of Ohio and Yale before he tried to turn the Hoosiers’ program around. Lee Corso might be best remembered as a jokester now and when he was going 41-68-2 at Indiana from 19731982. But he had a 36-23-5 career record at Louisville and Northern Illinois. Bill Mallory had four winning seasons in five years from 1990-1994 at IU, but his overall record there was 69-77-3. At Miami of Ohio, Colorado and Northern Illinois, he was 96-48-4. Gerry DiNardo was 8-27 at Indiana from 2002-04 after his LSU and Vanderbilt teams won 51 of 101. The late Terry Hoeppner never saw a losing season at Miami of Ohio in six years, but then went 9-14 in two seasons at IU. Ohio State fans were ready to write off the season when the Buckeyes split their first six games. Imagine the faith and fortitude it would take to be a longtime Indiana football fan.

No. 1 vs. No. 2 for berth at state Lehman beats Loramie, St. Henry is next BY ROB KISER Ohio Community Media
SDN Photo/Bryan Wahrer
JACKSON CENTER freshman Haley Elchert keeps the ball alive during action in the Division IV Regional Volleyball Tournament at Tipp City Thursday. The Lady Tigers saw their season ended by top-ranked St. Henry in the semifinals.
No. 1 St. Henry downs Jackson BY MATT ZIRCHER TIPP CITY — St. Henry may have won the match in three sets, but the Lady Redskins had to withstand a challenge by Jackson Center in doing so as the Lady Tigers hung tough for much of the first two sets before falling 2725, 25-13, 25-13 in the Division IV regional volleyball semifinals here Thursday night. St. Henry, the top-ranked Division IV team in the state, improves to 25-1 heading into Saturday’s final at 2 against defending state champ Lehman, who defeated Fort Loramie in the other semifinal. Jackson Center sees its season close at 18-9. The Tigers scored the first two points of the match on kills from freshmen Haley Elchert and Courtney Zimpfer, but trailed until regaining the lead at 10-8 with five consecutive points, including a block and kill by Brooke Richard. It seesawed back and forth from there until Jackson used another Elchert kill along with an Ann Frieders block to build a 19-14 cushion. St. Henry answered with three straight before a Richard kill broke that string and the Redskins eventually tied it at 20 before Richard struck again, this time with a tip kill. Jackson later reached set point at 24-23 on a Brittany Foster kill, but a service error kept St. Henry alive and the Redskins went up 25-24 on a bad set by the Tigers. Another Richard kill evened the score again, but St. Henry would score the final two points on a
Katie Hoyng kill and ace to claim the set. “We were in the driver’s seat in that first set, but then we started to play conservative and didn’t attack like we did early on,” said Jackson coach Kim Metz. “We stopped pushing and didn’t put St. Henry in bad positions to run their offense.” The two teams battled back and forth again in the early stages of the second set as Jackson only trailed 9-7 following a Redskin error, but St. Henry broke it open with six in a row, including three Ashley Heitkamp kills and a pair of Abby Brunswick aces. The Tigers cut the deficit to 15-11 with four straight of their own, but could get no closer as the Redskins outscored Jackson 10-2 the rest of the set, including a pair of 4-0 bursts. “We stopped hitting and kept trying to tip the ball,” said Metz. “St. Henry was able to pick up on that and was able to run their offense. We weren’t able to prevent them from scoring in bunches like we did in the first set.” Two more Heitkamp kills and two from Hoyng helped St. Henry start the third set with a 5-1 advantage and the Redskins gradually pulled away from there to close out the match. St. Henry finished with a 44-24 kill advantage and while the Redskins had just a 6-5 edge in aces, they also committed just two service errors compared to seven for the Tigers. Richard paced Jackson with 10 kills while Foster had seven and Elchert four.
Vote
TIPP CITY — The showdown is set. No. 1 St. Henry will play No. 2 Lehman Catholic in a Division IV volleyball regional final at 2 p.m. Saturday at Tippecanoe High School. “Definitely, we are looking forward to it after losing to them (in the regular season),” Lehman senior middle Paxton Hatcher said. “And, we are playing well right now.” But first, Lehman had to get past a young, talented Fort Loramie team Thursday night in the regional semifinals. And the Lady Redskins scrapped hard in all three games before losing 25-20, 2518, 25-16. “This was a good match for us,” Lehman coach Greg Snipes said. “This was good preparation for St. Henry. Both teams are familiar with each other and get up for this match. Fort Loramie always plays us tough, so we knew this would be a good match.” And while they came up short, the Lady Redskins showed why they will be one of the most feared teams around in the future, putting up an 18-9 record with a roster that was made up mostly of freshmen and sophomores. “You are going to see these girls for another two years, some of them three,” Fort Loramie coach John Rodgers said. “There were a whole lot of people who saw us this summer and didn't give us much chance of being here (in the regionals). “I am so proud of these girls. From winning the league, to winning sectionals and district, these girls have really come a long way.” And all three games seemed to have a pattern to them. Lehman would get off to a fast start, only to see the Lady Redskins rally. The first game the Lady Cavalier opened a 15-8 lead with two kills each by Lindsey Spearman and Andrea Thobe. “Most of the year, we have relied heavily on the middles,” Snipes said. “Tonight, we went to the outsides and they came through, which was good to see. I thought we would be tight early, but we came out and opened up a lead.” A Lindsey Hilgefort kill and Reggi Brandewie block started a run for Fort Loramie and they got as close as 20-18, before the Cavaliers finished things off. Consecutive kills by Thobe on Ellie Waldsmith’s serve ended it. “Our problem was we just couldn’t string points together tonight,” Rodgers said. “We would get a couple points and Lehman would say OK and run off three or four points. They have that experience and that is what they do.” It was more of the same in the second and third games. In the second game, Lehman led 18-9 after an Ellie Cain ace. A kill by Darian Rose helped Loramie close within 20-16, before the Lady Cavs would put the game away, with kills by Cain and Hatcher. “That seemed to be the rhythm for the first two

Backfield in motion From practice squad to starting spot with Browns

IN BRIEF
Matty Alou dies at 72 BY ASSOCIATED PRESS
TOM WITHERS AP Sports Writer BEREA, Ohio (AP) — Two weeks ago, running back Chris Ogbonnaya was on Houston’s practice squad, waiting for his chance. On Sunday, he’ll play — against the Texans. Such is life in the unpredictable NFL. “It’s crazy. This league is crazy,” said Ogbonnaya, signed by the Browns on Oct. 18. “There are opportunities that come out of nowhere, come out of difcircumstances, ferent different situations.” You want crazy and different? Well, Cleveland’s the place. The Browns have undergone a maddening makeover in the offensive backfield this season as an eruption of injuries have sidelined running backs Peyton Hillis, Montario Hardesty and Brandon Jackson, who suffered a season-ending toe injury in an exhibition. With Hillis, who has been a lightning rod for controversy, sidelined by a hamstring injury, the Browns signed Ogbonnaya last month. And with Hardesty down after tearing a calf muscle last week that could keep him out for several games, the team signed free agent Thomas Clayton earlier this week following a tryout. The Browns’ 29th ranked running game is hurting. It could be in greater pain Sunday when Cleveland faces the Houston Texans, who have the league’s thirdranked defense. However, the Browns

with 11 carries for 37 yards, had five receptions and gave everything he had. “At halftime, he’s gassed,” said quarterback Colt McCoy, who was also Ogbonnaya’s teammate in college. “He’s on special teams, he’s the personal protector on punts. The guy played almost every play. By the fourth quarter when we started making a run, he’s gassed, and that hurt us. I think having Thomas will help us this week.” Clayton was home in Massachusetts staying in shape and hoping to hear from a team when the Browns called on Monday. He was with Cleveland three different times last season, so there was a familiarity with him and some of the coaches. Notes: Browns WR Mohamed Massaquoi practiced for the first time since suffering a concussion on Oct. 23. He sat out last week’s game. Massaquoi said his symptoms were different from what he experienced last season when he got a concussion from a helmet-tohelmet hit by Steelers linebacker James Harrison. “I don’t think the impact was as forceful,” he said. ... CB Dimitri Patterson (knee) missed his second straight practice and will likely miss Sunday’s game. ... Coach Pat Shurmur isn’t planning to replace Tony Pashos at right starting tackle. Both Artis Hicks and Oneil Cousins shared reps in practice with Pashos, who has been battling an ankle injury, but Shurmur said “I wouldn’t read into that.”
Matty Alou, once part of an all-Alou outfield for the San Francisco Giants with brothers Felipe and Jesus, died Thursday in his native Dominican Republic. He was 72. He died of diabetes complications, according to his former Dominican team, Leones del Escogido. The Giants also confirmed his death and said Alou had been sick for several years with a variety of health issues. A two-time All-Star, Alou became the 1966 National League batting Alou champion with the Pirates when he hit .342. He spent his first six years with San Francisco from 1960-65 and also played for St. Louis, Oakland, the New York Yankees and San Diego. Alou was a career .307 hitter with 31 home runs, 427 RBIs, 1,777 hits and 236 doubles in 15 major league seasons.
OSU trustees updated COLUMBUS (AP) — Consultants studying how well Ohio State programs comply with rules and requirements have finished the first stage of their review. The compliance review was launched earlier this year following the school's football memorabilia scandal that led to several player suspensions, the departure of coach Jim Tressel and an NCAA investigation. Geoff Chatas, the university's chief financial officer, says consultants have finished reviewing the school's compliance efforts and are moving on to how well the university compares to other colleges and companies. Consultants updated university trustees Thursday on their progress but did not give details of findings.
Boise St. gets clearance BOISE, Idaho (AP) — The Idaho State Board of Education has given Boise State permission to pursue membership with the Big East Conference, a move that would mean more revenue and give the Broncos a clear path to the Bowl Championship Series. The board voted 7-1 Thursday to give university President Bob Kustra the authority to move Boise State's football program out of the Mountain West Conference and into the Big East for the 2013 season. Kustra has had ongoing discussions with Big East representatives, including during a campus visit by conference leaders last week. Boise State has not yet received a formal invitation to join, but Kustra told trustees he expects one to come in the next few days.

BULLETIN BOARD
No contests in Salem Township Due to a problem with one potential candidate’s nominating petition, there will be no competition for Salem Township seats on the Nov. 8 ballot. Incumbent fiscal officer Denise Palmer, 17030 E. Mason Road, will return without challenge to her position. Daniel A. Knoop, 10700 Pasco Montra Road, will presumably fill the trustee position opening as the only name on the ballot after Scott Platfoot’s petition was invalidated by the Board of Elections. Platfoot, 10744 Baker Road, Maplewood, was determined to have information missing from his nominating petition.
2 up for 2 seats Fairlawn Local School Board of Education will have two seats up for election on Nov. 8, but there will be no competition on the ballot. Robert E. Gold, current board president, 22100 State Route 47, Maplewood, seeks to retain his seat, while Matthew Caldwell, 855 N. State Route 589, Conover, looks to fill the position that will be vacated by Cindy Driskell.

Sidney native preserves historic buildings in artwork BY PATRICIA ANN SPEELMAN pspeelman@sdnccg.com Sidney native Allan B. Allen loves buildings — especially old buildings — and, even more especially, buildings that no longer exist. Allen is an artist who chronicles historic structures. In the 1990s, he created a series of pencil and pen-and-ink drawings of buildings in Shelby County. Now, he is on the verge of self-publishing a coffee table book comprising 100 pictures of buildings in Santa Cruz, Calif., where he has lived for many years. “They are all pen-and-ink drawings,” he said recently. “I was a painter for a long time, but I’ve been doing the drawings off and on for 35 years, since 1977. I’d see a house as I was riding around on my bike, and decide to draw it.” In addition to drawing, he continues to paint in oil and watercolors. His book, titled “An Architectural Tour of Santa Cruz County,” includes renditions of many important edifices that have been lost to the ravages of history. “The masonry buildings came down in the two earthquakes we had here,” Allen said. “Or they were torn down to build filling stations. Each building that I draw is its own unique artchitecture. I’m striving to have a great vari-

SIDNEY NATIVE Allan Bruce Allen displays the cover of his new book in the spot where he drew it in Santa Cruz, Calif. ety of buildings dating from 1860 to 1900. But in the book, it’s not just buildings. There’s a cemetary; there are street scenes.” He thinks it’s important to preserve the look of structures that defined a place and an era. He used photographs from newspaper archives to capture images of buildings that now only memories. “There were some gems in neighborhoods that are long gone,” Allen said. He works “en plein air,” if his subjects are still standing. “I draw on location in pencil. I finish in ink in my studio,” he said. “I’ve never had owners giving me grief. Most people paid no attention to
me, whatsover (as I sat with my drawing pad near their properties).” It takes him about a month to finish each piece and he works mostly in the evenings so the artwork doesn’t interfere with his day job as a landscape and maintenance gardener. Allen is the son of the late George and Florence Pool Allen. His sister, Barbara Ditmer, still lives in Shelby County. “I was known almost always as Bruce (his middle name) when I was in Sidney,” he said. “But out here, I go by Allan.” He studied art at Sidney High School under Richard Cromer. While he was still in
school, Allen had several oneman shows at Amos Memorial Public Library. He graduated in 1967 and then completed a graphic design and fine art degree at the Dayton Art Institute in 1971. He was barely out of college when he began to design and sell Christmas cards he created with linoleum block prints. The paintings he creates are landscapes and seascapes. His work has been exhibited in Santa Cruz galleries and he occasionally enters work in Sidney’s Spring Fling show presented by Gateway Arts Council. But he does not have an exclusive contract with any specific gallery. For the most part, marketing is up to him. “Artists in Santa Cruz have to do pretty much everything on their own,” Allen said. “There are hundreds of artists, but no real market here. Carmel is where art sells. My works that are in private collections are mostly drawings of houses I’ve made for the people who own the houses.” And once the book comes out, another project is already brewing in his mind. “We will add drawings for a second edition,” he said. “And I want to explore Marin County, north of San Francisco.” His Shelby County series of 15 drawings are still available as notecards or 11-inch by 17inch frameable prints at CR Frame Gallery, 115 S. Ohio Ave.
Two races in Loramie Twp. BY TERRY PELLMAN RUSSIA — There is a three-way race for the Loramie Township trustee position in Tuesday’s election, while only two remain in the race for fiscal officer. Chester McKinney and Bonnie Paulus are vying for the post of fiscal officer. Jeffrey O’Reilly, 3815 Redmond Road, withdrew his candidacy. McKinney, 2280 Versailles Road, farms grain on a farm that has been in the family since 1845. He is also a retired teacher and has serves as an athletic official for 43 years. McKinney has a bachelor’s degree in science, and a master’s degree in education. He has also completed a postgraduate course in finance and tax structure. He explains that he has long held an interest in township administration. McKinney wants to change the investment practices of the township. He would like to place township funds in a bank within the township borders, while at the same time maximizing investment return. McKinney says that there is a manual of several hundred pages that specify rules and regulations for township duties, and “If you follow procedure, you come out pretty good.” He and wife Mary are the parents of adult sons Bill and John. The other candidate for fiscal officer is Bonnie Paulus, 4376 Rangeline Road, who has worked as the office manager and bookkeeper for a family business for over 22 years. She previously worked as a bookkeeper for Rehabilitative Services in Coldwater. She and husband Dan have two sons, Ryan and Ethan. Paulus is a member of several committees and currently serves as president of Nurturing Network. She was encouraged by a friend to seek the office, and after some consideration filed for her candidacy. She says that she considered her experience and felt that she would be a good fit after performing very similar duties. She has enjoyed bookkeeping since taking related classes in high school. Paulus states, “I want to keep the books accurate. I want people to feel they can come to any of the meetings, and I want to have an open book policy.” She says that the economy will require to township to be frugal with the money available. She sees the need for openness with township residents so that they can see how their money is being used. Paulus adds that she has

✏Vote enjoyed meeting so many residents of the township through her door-to-door visits. There are also three candidates seeking one Loramie Township trustee slot. Among them is Dale M. Goubeaux, 1077 Fessler-Buxton Road, who is self employed as a farmer, as well as operating Goubeaux Excavating. He is a former employee of the Clopay Corp. He and wife Brenda are the parents of sons Greg and Jake. Goubeaux has long held an interest in government, and has had some exposure to local issues while doing excavating work. He relates that he was
encouraged to run by others who were aware of his skills and knowledge of such matters as watersheds, roads and heavy equipment operation. That work has made him knowledgeable about the area. He also has the required license to operate large trucks for snow clearing. Goubeaux emphasizes that he can rearrange his work to meet the needs of the township: “I can be there for people when they need me.” Goubeaux states that money will be an ongoing issue for the township. He feels that the trustees have done a good job, but would like to contribute to the township operations and help the community. A second candidate is Francis “Frank” Grillot, 244 W. Main St., who is the incumbent candidate. He has served in that capacity for 20 years. He and wife Rebecca are the parents of sons Matthew, Doug, and Kevin and daughters Beth and Michelle. Grillot expects that road maintenance will occupy much of the trustees’ attention. He predicts that the cost of paving materials, which are made from oil, will likely become more of a challenge. Grillot explains that the county government has responsibility for some of the infrastructure such as bridges. He decided to run again because he enjoys service to the residents of the township. He points out that he is self-employed, and is flexible in his ability to provide the needed services to the residents. Grillot would like to continue working with the county to accomplish some more bridge work that could be provided through the earmarked county sales tax. In addition, he hopes to pursue ways in which to accomplish more road work in spite of the rising cost of materials and labor. The third candidate is Dustin Meyer, 5800 Fessler-Buxton Road, Houston, a full-time grain and steer farmer. He is married to Grace. Meyer notes that during the winter he has extra time, and decided to pursue an additional endeavor. He states that he would enjoy the work of clearing snow. Meyer feels that the roads are in fairly good condition within the township, and some have been repaved over the last few years. Meyer’s goal would be to keep the road clear and safe properly maintain ditches, and sees the economy as a looming challenge.
