No plans for new tax levy BY TOM BARNETT tbarnett@sdnccg.com Acting City Manager Tom Judy said Thursday the city of Sidney has no plans to further pursue the proposed 0.25 percent city income tax increase voters defeated at the polls Tuesday. Final unofficial returns from the city’s 13 precincts saw the levy fail by a 363-vote margin, 2,887 to 2,524. The negative vote amounted to 53.35 percent. The five-year levy, earmarked for street and infrastructure improvements, would have generated about $2 million annually for streets or a total of $10 million over its five-year life span. “The voters have spoken,” Judy said. “We’ll go back to work with what resources we have. I do not see us going back on the ballot, certainly not in 2012.” The city currently collects a 1.5 percent tax on residents’ earned income. The city’s street department is responsible for maintenance of 103 miles of See TAX/Page 3A

The American Conservative Union has awarded state Rep. J o h n Adams, RS i d n e y, 78th District, the 2011 Defender of Liberty Award, w h i c h Adams honors the representative’s strong support of conservative principles on a wide range of issues during the 2011 session of the 129th General Assembly. The award, which recognizes Adams’ 100 percent score on the ACU’s first-ever rating for the Ohio Legislature, was presented at the Ohio Statehouse by ACU National Executive Director Gregg Keller. “I am honored to receive this award,” said Adams. “As a strong supporter of conservative, pro-family and constitutional values, it is humbling to be recognized for supporting these issues that I hold dear.” Founded in 1964, the ACU represents the views of Americans who are concerned with economic growth through lower taxes and reduced government spending and the issues of liberty, personal responsibility, traditional values and national security.

Tea party groups seek ‘right-to-work’ measure BY ANN SANNER Associated Press COLUMBUS (AP) — Just two days after Ohio voters overwhelmingly rejected a state law curbing collective bargaining rights, a tea party coalition said it will push an amendment to the state’s constitution that would prevent workers covered by union contracts from being required to join unions or pay dues.

Vet restores ’copter used in Vietnam War BY DYLAN TUSSEL Associated Press
GROVEPORT (AP) — After a nearly 18-year pursuit, Nate Shaffer has been reunited with the one with whom he had a self-described love affair while fighting in the Vietnam War. “I’m tickled; I’m thrilled,” said Shaffer, 63. He wasn’t referring to a significant other who had captured his heart years ago but to the military helicopter he rode in nearly every day as a door gunner from 1969 to 1970. “It’s one of the highlights of my life,” Shaffer said Tuesday as the helicopter — a Hughes OH6A Cayuse — was placed on a pad behind Motts Military Museum in Groveport, where it will be displayed along with Shaffer’s flight suit and photos he took during the war.
Spencerville resident The resident of Spencerville, in northwestern Ohio, climbed into the backseat of the LOH — light observation helicopter, nicknamed a “Loach” — as Bruce Campbell, 64, of Ashtabula, the pilot with whom Shaffer flew in Vietnam, climbed into his familiar seat up front. The two reminisced about their military days. That type of helicopter pairs with a Cobra attack helicopter for military operations. Once the lowflying “Loach” draws enemy fire from below, it ascends to a higher altitude as the Cobra goes in for the kill. Campbell flew the helicopter as Shaffer gunned down their enemies on the ground. “He was responsible for my safety, and I was responsible for his,” Shaffer said. Sitting inside the helicopter brought back a whirlwind of memories for Campbell. “Things we burned, people we killed, crashes we had,” he said. Shaffer began trying to track down the helicopter in the early ’90s, just to see if it had made it back in one piece. “I didn’t really expect to find it,” he said. The chopper, it turned out, was being used by the National Guard in New York and Chicago. Shaffer followed its whereabouts to Arizona. He visited it there three years ago while Homeland Security was using it for border patrol.
Received tip Shaffer received a tip in January 2010 that the chopper was to be scrapped. With the help of U.S. Rep. Steve Stivers, a Republican from Upper Arlington, Shaffer got permission from the government to bring the chopper to Ohio. “This thing would’ve been destroyed and parted out,” Stivers said. “That would’ve been a real shame. It belongs here, not in a bone yard.” Shaffer retrieved the helicopter from Utah in October and trucked it to a friend’s house near Lima, which is just east of the village of Spencerville, where he and several friends restored it to the helicopter he remembered. The floor had been torn out along with the radios. They repainted it olive drab and put in new floors. Shaffer painted “ZIT” — the name of his girlfriend, now his wife, spelled backward — toward the back of the chopper, just as he had done in Vietnam. Warren Motts, founder and owner of the military museum, said having the helicopter on display is “awesome.” “We’ve preserved another piece of history,” he said. ___ Information from: The Columbus Dispatch, http://www.dispatch.com
question on 2012 ballots. If the group fails to get the question before voters during next year’s presidential election, it would continue its push in 2013, Littleton said. “We’re in this for the long haul,” he said. The proposed amendment comes on the heels of Tuesday’s election, when more than 61 percent of voters rejected a law that restricted the collective bargaining rights of Ohio’s more than 350,000 public workers. Forty-six percent of registered voters turned out, setting a 20-year record in terms of voter percentage and an alltime high in total people voting in an off-year general election. Labor groups and opponents of the law poured more than $24 million into the repeal campaign. The defeat of the Ohio union law marked one of
the biggest victories in decades for the labor movement. Tim Burga, president of the Ohio AFL-CIO, said in a statement that the proposed amendment was “an even more broad assault on workers’ rights” than the union law, and that the union wouldn’t shy away from defending workers’ rights once more. Democrats at the Statehouse immediately criticized the proposal. “Right-to-work doesn’t guarantee rights to the worker,” said state Rep. Tracy Heard of Columbus, contending unions have made it easier for women and minorities to earn a better wage. Littleton said the ballot initiative is about freedom of choice in the workplace, not collective bargaining. The proposal would amend the state’s consti-
tution to say that no law, rule or agreement should require employees to join a union or pay dues, as a condition of their employment. “This has everything to do with freedom for the worker,” Littleton said. “It doesn’t address anything else except for the idea that you should be free to choose whether or not you want to participate in a labor organization.” The union law rejected by voters included a provision to prevent nonunion employees affected by contracts from paying so-called “fair share” fees to union organizations. That part of the overhaul didn’t receive as much attention during the repeal effort compared with other parts that banned public worker strikes and prevented unions from negotiating health care or pension benefits.
Governor: No mercy for Ohio man who killed three sons BY ANDREW WELSH-HUGGINS Associated Press COLUMBUS (AP) — Gov. John Kasich on Thursday rejected clemency for a condemned man who shot his three sons to death as they slept in 1982, just days after his wife filed for divorce. R e g i n a l d Brooks had argued unsuccessBrooks fully to Kasich and to the Ohio Parole Board that he was a paranoid schizophrenic who suffered from mental illness long before the shootings. Kasich’s decision, which didn’t include an explanation, is significant because it may signal the resumption of executions in a state often second behind Texas in the number of inmates put to death each year.
Fatal crashes decline COLUMBUS (AP) — Ohio troopers say stepped-up efforts to combat drunken driving have contributed to a nearly 9 percent drop in fatal accidents this year. The State Highway Patrol said Thursday that through October of this year, 824 people were killed on Ohio roads. That’s down from 902 fatalities during the first ten months of 2010. The patrol also says that troopers made 934 more arrests for driving while impaired during the period than they did from January through October of last year. The agency notes that 40 percent of all deadly crashes in 2010 were related to impaired driving. The patrol is already urging motorists to designate sober drivers or plan to take taxis home to avoid getting behind the wheel if they drink too much during the upcoming holiday season.
No one has been executed in Ohio since May. Beginning in January, Ohio has 12 executions scheduled through September 2013. Earlier this year, Kasich postponed two other executions as a federal judge weighed objections to Ohio’s execution policy, and he granted clemency to two other condemned inmates. But last week, U.S. District Court Judge Gregory Frost ruled in favor of Ohio’s execution rules, saying the state had addressed his concerns over a process he once called haphazard. Frost’s ruling also denied a request by Brooks’ attorneys for an execution delay. Brooks also lost an appeal Wednesday when the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Cincinnati refused to let him reargue older federal claims. Brooks is appealing that ruling to the U.S. Supreme Court, and he has other state and federal appeals pending regarding his men-
tal competency and what his lawyers say is pertinent evidence the government has been hiding for the past 28 years. “We firmly believe that Reggie is incompetent to be executed and that there’ll be a great disservice to not only Mr. Brooks but to the system of capital punishment if they execute him,” attorney Michael Benza said Thursday. “We also firmly believe that we have now proven that the prosecutors throughout this case have hidden evidence about the extent of his mental illness, and they did it intentionally to deprive the courts of that information and then to argue that meant he wasn’t mentally ill.” At 66, Brooks would be the oldest person put to death in Ohio since the state resumed executions in 1999. His lawyers argue Brooks suffers from paranoid schizophrenia and that he showed signs of the mental illness before and after the murders.

Greece’s crisis eases ATHENS, Greece (AP) — Europe’s financial crisis eased Thursday as Greece installed a respected economist to replace its prime minister and Italy appeared poised to do the same — both hoping that monetary experts can do better than the politicians who drove their nations so deeply into debt. The announcement in Athens — coupled with the prospect that volatile Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi will be ushered out soon — quieted market fears, at least for now, that turmoil in Europe could threaten the global economy.
Not much change seen WASHINGTON (AP) — After countless new rules designed to make Wall Street safer, it’s come to this: Another securities firm has collapsed from risky, poorly disclosed bets. Not enough, in other words, has changed since the U.S. financial system nearly toppled three years ago. The bankruptcy filing last week by MF Global Holdings Ltd. didn’t freeze lending and panic investors around the world, as Lehman Brothers did in 2008. But the rapid fall of the firm run by former New Jersey Gov. Jon Corzine shows risky behavior persists, despite a vast regulatory overhaul. As lenders abandon Italy this week and stocks plummet on fear that defaults in Europe are all but inevitable, those new rules are about to be put to the test. One question no one can answer: Is the financial system, with its expanding web of connections that even experts can’t trace, any safer?
Screening proposed BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS More children should be screened for high cholesterol before puberty, beyond those with a family history of problems, according to wide-ranging new guidelines expected from government-appointed experts who are trying to prevent heart disease later in life.

OUT OF THE BLUE
Is 11/11/11 lucky date? BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Place your bets! Tie the knot! Make a wish! Friday is the 11th day of the 11th month of 2011, and around the country, many people are planning to mark the triple convergence of 11s with a splash, hoping it will bring them good fortune or at least amuse them for a day. Marjaneh Peyrovan, who just moved to New York, plans to buy 11 lottery tickets (each, of course, including the number 11). She will check out apartments she has been eyeing. And precisely at 11:11 a.m., she will walk into the office of Diane von Furstenberg, the fashion designer for whom she has long dreamed of working. “People say on 11/11 things happen, things will come true,” she said. “You never know.”

As Cain, Perry scramble, Gingrich seeks an opening BY THOMAS BEAUMONT Associated Press WASHNGTON (AP) — Mitt Romney chugged ahead Thursday as the conservative-fueled drive to deny him the Republican presidential nomination reached a difficult new phase: Oncesurging rivals Rick Perry and Herman Cain scrambled to control serious damage, while an old face sought new ways to exploit their problems. Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich could emerge as the newest hope for conservative activists who doubt Romney’s commitment to their priorities. But Gingrich trails Romney and others in organizing in key states such as Iowa. And he will have to prove that his long and sometimes troubled political history can withstand closer scrutiny. Meanwhile, Texas Gov. Perry rearranged his schedule Thursday to try to mitigate a disastrous debate moment, in which he could not remember the third federal agency he has vowed to abolish. Perry canceled a Tennessee fundraiser to appear on several TV networks and the David Letterman show, pledging to stay in the race. He repeatedly said he “stepped in it” at the Wednesday night debate but declared in an interview, “This ain’t a day for quitting nothing.” For Cain, the former pizza company executive, it was day 11 of trying to get beyond sexual harassment accusations leveled against him by four women, two of whom received cash settlements from a trade association Cain once headed. Facing voters for the first time since the allegations emerged, Cain met with

REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTIAL candidate Texas Gov. Rick Perry speaks during a Republican presidential debate at Oakland University in Auburn Hills, Mich., Wednesday. tea party groups in Michigan, hoping the friendly settings would preserve the lofty perch he enjoyed in GOP polls two weeks ago. “How you beat Obama? Beat him with a Cain!” he told one supporter at a crowded diner in Ypsilanti. The crowd cheered. He is airing his first TV ad in Iowa, and he has hired a new lawyer who is
warning women they will be scrutinized for any charges made against the candidate. Romney, the former Massachusetts governor who recently filmed a TV ad in Iowa, blasted President Barack Obama’s Iran policy in a Wall Street Journal opinion piece Thursday. His supporters quietly reveled in the good fortune of Perry’s and Cain’s woes. With the Iowa caucus set for Jan. 3, and the New Hampshire primary a week after that, Romney is looking strong, but he’s hardly home free. Many conservatives still resent his past support of legalized abortion and gay rights, and his requirement that all Massachusetts residents obtain health insurance. But they have failed to coalesce around a single alternative. Rep. Michele Bachmann briefly topped the polls, followed by Perry and then Cain. It’s unclear whether Cain can hold his position. Some Iowa Republicans hope former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum, who emphasizes social conservative issues such as abortion and gay rights, can make a move. He has visited all 99 Iowa counties and aired radio commercials. Other party insiders feel the person best poised to rise is Gingrich, the fiery Georgian who led the GOP’s 1994 takeover of the House (after 40 years in the minority). He eventually lost his leadership post and left the House after clashing with President Bill Clinton over taxes and an unpopular government showdown. Gingrich is adding staff in key states, opening new offices this week and raising more money than he has in months.
Soldier retraces Afghan steps of dead brother BY DAVID GOLDMAN Associated Press ASMAR, Afghanistan (AP) — The mountainside is steep and large boulders up the slope provide perfect cover for insurgents. It’s been a frequent spot for roadside bomb attacks on passing convoys. Andrew Ferrara has come a long way to take this path. His immediate mission, as he leads his U.S. Army platoon up the mountain, is to find a trigger point from which insurgents set off the bombs. It’s a treacherous climb. Several of his soldiers slip and nearly fall on the sliding gravel and loose rock. But the 24-year-old 2nd lieutenant from California has a broader goal in being here. Here is where he can forge a bond with his older brother Matthew, who was killed in the same rugged mountains of Afghanistan’s Kunar province while leading a platoon of his own four years ago. “I know that my brother was walking the hills 10 miles from here,” said Andrew, who now has his brother’s initials “MCF” and date of his death tattooed on his left rib cage, the area where the bullet that killed Matthew left his body. “You look around here and you understand the challenges that he found are similar to the challenges that I’m facing now,” he said. “I get outside the trucks and walk up into the mountains and it really puts it

IN THIS Sept. 15 photo, a tattoo with the initials of Matthew C. Ferrara and the date he was killed, decorates the side of his brother 2nd Lt. Andrew Ferrara, 23, of Torrance, Calif., with the U.S. Army’s 2nd Battalion 27th Infantry Regiment at Combat Outpost Monti in Kunar province, Afghanistan. in perspective. What kind of person he was, how strong he was and how much heart he had.” But it’s more than a matter of experiencing the same geography. Questions over Matthew’s death stirred up a swirl of emotions among his family beyond just grief. Guilt, feelings of betrayal and thoughts of revenge, even doubts over the principles that his parents tried to instill throughout their lives. Andrew, the youngest of four brothers
and a sister, has been an ambassador for his whole family, and retracing Matthew’s footsteps has provided them not answers, but at least a way to absorb his death. The date was Nov. 9, 2007. Matthew, a 1st lieutenant, was on his final patrol before moving on to a new assignment. He and his platoon went to the village of Aranas to have one last meeting with local elders he had been dealing with often for the past months. On the way back, they were ambushed. The battle lasted an hour, killing Matthew and five other soldiers. It took two days to retrieve the bodies because of the difficulty of the terrain. It was in the backyard of the Ferrara family’s Torrance, Calif., home, that members of Matthew’s platoon told his father Mario about that day. Matthew didn’t have to go on that patrol, he just wanted to say goodbye to the elders. From everything he’s learned from the platoon members, Mario believes that the
reasons for Matthew’s death go back to a previous battle, 10 weeks earlier. In that battle, roughly 100 Taliban led by a local commander named Hazrat Omar attacked Ranch House Outpost, where Matthew was stationed. Matthew and his platoon found themselves locked in fighting with Taliban only 10 yards (meters) away, firing small arms and rocketpropelled grenade. During three hours of intense combat, Matthew directed the return of fire, coordinated the evacuation of the wounded and called for airstrikes perilously close to his own position, ultimately repelling a force three times the size of his own. In the end, Omar and 10 of his fighters were killed. No U.S. soldiers lost their lives. Matthew received the Silver Star, awarded posthumously. Omar’s father is one of the top elders in Aranas. Mario is convinced the village elders with whom his son had long worked drew him into a trap.
Nixon shed no light on tape gap to grand jury BY NANCY BENAC Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — Feisty and cagey, ex-President Richard Nixon defended his shredded legacy and shady Watergate-era actions in grand jury testimony that he thought would never come out. On Thursday, it did. Offering a rare look into confidential grand jury proceedings, and the first ever to have a former president testifying, the National Archives and its Nixon Presidential Library released a transcript of the testimony after a judge ordered the
government to do so. In it, Nixon, 10 months after he resigned under threat of impeachment, describes the burglary by political operatives at Democratic headquarters as “this silly, incredible Watergate break-in” and claims “I practically blew my stack” when he learned that 18 1/2 minutes of a post-Watergate White House meeting were erased from a tape. The gap was considered key in determining what Nixon knew about the burglary and what he did to cover up the exploding scandal. Nixon’s main legal risk during 11 hours
of questioning near his California home in June 1975 was being caught in a lie. Short of committing perjury, or implicating anyone in his much-diminished cadre of loyalists, he could testify with impunity because a pardon by his successor, Gerald Ford, protected him from prosecution for any past Watergate crimes. At one confrontational moment, he bristled when pressed for details of a conversation that he said he could not remember. “I don’t recall that those specific names were in the discussion,” he snapped. “I mean, if you want me to lie about it, I will be glad to.”

Blankets, noodles are woman’s specialties BY TERRY PELLMAN RUSSIA — Patricia DeMange stays busy in her Miller Road residence near Russia. A visitor walks past tables in the kitchen that are covered with freshly cut noodles. That takes you to the living room, or as DeMange calls it, “the candy room.” Here is where large dishes of candy await the arrival of some of DeMange’s 23 grandchildren and 36 great-grandchildren. She and her late husband Norbert had seven children of her own. One of those great-grandchildren is Morgan Kelch, who recently won a school essay contest about how DeMange had impacted her life. That essay was published in the Greenville Advocate. There are pictures of those she cares for throughout the home. And Patricia DeMange cares about a lot of people, many of whom she will never meet. DeMange spends much of her time making things for others.

PATRICIA DEMANGE stands with some of the blanket quilts she is ready to distribute. She may bake an angel food cake for a family grieving the loss of a loved one. Or she may donate dozens of cakes for the Right to Life Garage Sale. However, what she spends much of her time on is the creation of beautiful blanket quilts, which she calls lap robes. In spite of being 83
and coping with some health issues, DeMange is an energetic and gracious lady who manages to be able to complete a blanket quilt in one day. She loves to sew, and has since her adolescence, when she taught herself the craft. She sewed her first dress in the seventh grade, learning on a pedal-
style sewing machine, and made her own wedding dresses as well as the dresses for her witnesses. She even made her the wedding dresses for her daughters. DeMange displays stacks of the blanket quilts she makes from carefully selected sheets and scraps of fabric. In

needy there. Sixteen left for the South American nation on the most recent visit. DeMange has already made more than 100 blankets this year. Blankets are not DeMange’s only specialty. Noodles are packed a pound at a time in plastic ice cream buckets. DeMange sold 40 buckets of noodles and 36 cakes at her own recent garage sale. That was in addition the 30 cakes she donated to the Right to Life event. She explains, “It’s just my thing to do.” She adds, “I guess that’s why God’s kept me here so long.” Asked about her energy level, DeMange can only say that she knows how to eat and when to take a nap. A self-described morning person, she rises at 6 a.m. DeMange sees reaching out to others as a crucial part of life. She believes that no one should complain of have nothing to do, when there are others to whom one can be of service.

fact, there is some difficulty in finding the patterns she likes to use. DeMange searches fabric stores, and keeps a sharp eye out at garage sales. Many are of a patriotic theme, composed of patterns in red white and blue, with flags galore. These blankets are often donated to veterans’ hospitals through the Shelby County Veterans Services agency. In addition, there are feminine, pink blankets and blue quilts to be distributed by the local Right to Life organization or F.I.S.H. Others end up in nursing homes. A cherished photo album shows pictures of each grandchild: each is holding a specially made quilt.

School administrator from Versailles plans Christmas China to visit county celebration
Shelby County will soon play host to a special visitor from overseas, a school administrator from China. The Shelby County Educational Service Center is participating in the U.S.-China Administrator Shadowing Project, through The China Exchange Initiative. Shawn McElroy, Gifted and Talented coordinator for the Shelby County ESC, has been offered a position in the 2011-12 U.S.-China Administrator Shadowing Project. He is part of a group of more than two dozen American school administrators, 12 from across Ohio, who will participate in the program. There are two parts to
the experience, starting with the visit from a Chinese school administrator in November. In the spring of 2012, McElroy will return the favor and take a trip to China to learn more about the country’s education system. “This exchange is an amazing opportunity on many levels,” explained McElroy. “Not only will we have the chance to show Mr. Tan the educational process in America, but also how we are striving to meet the needs of all students right here in Shelby County. We look forward to establishing a strong relationship with Mr. Tan and Enshi High School (located in the Chinese province of Hubei).”
Tan Bin, the Chinese administrator visiting Shelby County, will be heading to Shelby County on Sunday. He will spend his time in various school districts in the area, including the shadowing of teachers and administrators at Sidney and Fort Loramie High Schools. Tan will also have the opportunity to meet with officials in the area, learn more about Shelby County’s innovative roots, and visit some of Ohio’s most treasured landmarks. He will conclude his trip with a personalized tour of the Supreme Court of Ohio’s Civic Education Center in Columbus. “Our long-term goal is to explore the implementation of Chinese lan-
guage courses in our local schools,” said Shelby County ESC Superintendent Heather Neer. “Our participation in this program is a great opportunity to make contacts and explore future programs in this area.” Paul and Janice Workman will serve as the host family for Tan during his visit to Shelby County. “Paul and Janice’s experience as lifelong Shelby County educators will help Mr. Tan get more acquainted with our community and its citizens.” said McElroy. In order to offset the costs associated with this visit, Emerson Climate Technologies has donated funds to the Shelby County ESC to cover expenses.
Mumford graduates from program Shelby County Clerk of Courts Michele Mumford was among 37 court administrat o r s , clerks probation s u p e r v isors and p r o g r am Mumford managers f r o m courts throughout Ohio to graduate on Nov. 4 from the Court Management Program (CMP) of the Institute for Court Management, which is the educational arm of the National Center for
state courts. This is the fifth class of Ohio students to graduate from the national program. The two-phase CMP is for mid-level court managers interested in strengthening their management knowledge, skills and abilities. The program requires a three-year commitment and complements the training needs of courts implementing the National Association for Court Management’s core competencies. Completion provides graduates with the nationally recognized Certified Court
Manager credential. The graduation ceremony came after a 2 1/2day seminar hosted at the Ohio Judicial Center in downtown Columbus. The course, “Purposes and Responsibilities of Courts,” provided a historical and societal context for the development of our court system as we know it today and helped participants understand the tensions inherent in the courts’ ability to fulfill its purposes and responsibilities. During the three-year program, participants were required to attend two courses each year.
The courses were 2 1/2 days long and covered topics ranging from managing court financial resources and fundamental issues of case-flow management to managing human resources and managing technology projects and resources. The National Center for State Courts, founded in 1971, is a nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the administration of justice by providing leadership, research, technology, education, service and training to the state courts.

low-income students. These educational standards were either met or exceeded in the areas of mathematics and reading, as displayed on the OAA (Ohio Achievement Assessments). A number of factors go into selecting a “School of Promise,” including the percentage of students on free or reduced lunches and percentage of students passing the Ohio Achievement Assessments. The Longfellow building received an “excellent” rating on the 2010-2011 Local Report card. The school recently received a School of Promise banner to display in the school building. This is the fourth year Longfellow Elementary School has received this honor. Other elementary schools in the SCS District have previously received a “School of Promise” distinction, including Central, Emerson and Whittier Elementary schools. The “School of Promise” program has been in existence through the Ohio Department of education for 10 years.

Stress and an underactive thyroid gland are two possibilities worth investigating. The change from a 60-hour work week to semiretirement paradoxically might have upset your equilibrium. Thyroid disorders can escape detection unless a few simple lab tests are done. I would recommend that you have such tests. If you haven’t had a complete physical exam in some time, I would also recommend that you have one now. DEAR DR. DONOHUE: Is there any remedy for a hammertoe other than surgery? I wear the correct size shoe. There was a time when I could wait two months before seeing the doctor to have the hard skin on the toe removed. Now I have to go every three weeks. I use padding, but it doesn’t help. — G.C. ANSWER: Four of the foot’s five toes have three joints. The big toe has only
two. The toe next to the big toe is the one that most frequently becomes a hammertoe. The middle joint of that toe becomes permanently bent. The top part of the toe is forced downward into the shoe, and the middle joint juts upward and rubs against the upper part of the shoe. The whole affair looks something like a piano hammer. Calluses and corns develop at spots where the toe rubs against the shoe. Wearing too small a shoe and high-heel shoes promote hammertoes. Most people, however, have a genetic tendency to develop one. If the joint isn’t frozen in the bent position, splints or other such devices can slowly unbend it. Even though you don’t want to hear about surgery, some fairly simple procedures can straighten the toe. You ought to talk to a podiatrist or an orthopedic surgeon.
Nov. 11, 1936 At a meeting of the city council last evening, the mayor was authorized and directed to enter into a contract with the county board of health for the year 1937 under the same stipulations and requirements, as the existing contract for 1936. Director of service Al Guerry was authorized to employ an engineer to make a survey of water pressure in the city. The report is also to show what is required to increase the water pressure in the northwest part of the city. ––––– L.J. Bauer and H.J. Feldnar, of Woodsfield, are guests of Mr. Bauer’s brother, William Bauer, for a few days. They brought with them four wheels of the famous Monroe county Swiss cheese.
50 years Nov. 11, 1961 Secretary of State Ted W. Brown today issued a non-profit corporation charter to the Optimist Club of Sidney. Listed on the charter as original trustees of the organization are: William Lang, 737 Crescent Drive; Samuel Bender, 855 Fair Road; Gene Derringer, 226 Bennett Street; Barton Crawford, R.R. 4, Sidney; John Beigel, 124 Parkwood; James Johnson Sr., R.R. 4, Sidney; Donovan Hill, 320 South
Wagner, and David Dunson, 608 South Ohio Avenue. ––––– Red Anger generated a good pocket delivery during the Variety League’s session at his Bel Mar Lanes Thursday evening. This was indicated from the manner in which he registered a 635 series. Aided by games of 218, 213, and 204, Anger led the Late Five to a 4-0 sweep of Fisher’s Seat Covers and a tie for second place with the Jaycees in the standings.
25 years Nov. 11, 1986 It was a shocking upset. The Lady Jets of Fairlawn upset consensus #1 St. Henry at the state girls volleyball tournament. The scores were not that close, with the local girls willing 156, 15-11 and 15-12. It was the 27th straight victory for Fairlawn. The Jets will plan Canal Winchester for the state title. Athletes in another sport made history. Mike Knoop rolled an 800 series. It was only the third time in history the feat had been accomplished. The other two kegglers to achieve the record were Howard Livermore and Dan Swiger. The father of Mike Knoop, the famous Jerry “Jaws” Knoop, has six perfect 300 games, but never rolled an 800 series. ––––– These news items from past issues of the Sidney Daily News are compiled by the Shelby County Historical Society (498-1653) as a public service to the community.

NEIGHBOR IN PENNSYLVANIA DEAR VIOLATED: I don’t think so. The party animals who invaded your home are guilty of trespassing and theft. You should be compensated for anything that was taken and those responsible held accountable. Now that the “kids” have seen where everything of value in your house is located, you could be further victimized. You did the right thing in informing the police. DEAR ABBY: I am recently widowed. Men I work with and the husbands of some of my friends have been hitting on me. They’ll ask me out for a meal, give me big hugs — and a couple of them have even
kissed me on the mouth. I don’t lead them on, and besides, I’m a chubby greatgrandmother. What drives men to do this? Do they think they’re “consoling” me? When these things happen, I act as if they never did and go on as usual because to do otherwise would be hurtful to their wives, who are my friends. These men don’t frighten me, but I don’t understand their motivation. Do you? — GRANNY IN HER 70s DEAR GRANNY: There isn’t a blanket explanation for the behavior you have described. Some of your friends’ husbands may be trying to console you; others may have lecherous intentions. As to your male co-workers, big hugs and kisses are a no-no in
the workplace and you should tell them so. If these incidents happen repeatedly with the same people, you WILL have to speak up and say they’re making you uncomfortable. And as to your friends’ husbands, try this: Stiff-arm them when you greet them with a sweet smile, then turn your cheek when you see them coming at you. DEAR VETERANS: I salute you for your service to thiscountry. My thanks to each of you, as well as to the braveand dedicated men and women who are still on active duty. You are the personification of patriotism and self-sacrifice for your dedication to this country. — ABBY

Already with a tarnished reputation Down Under, he might have gone too far with Australia’s golf hierarchy. Daly was banned from playing in the Australian PGA in two weeks. And he might not be welcome back. “It’s very disappointing for the tournament ... that he has treated the championship this way,” Trevor Herden, Golf Australia’s director of tournaments, said Thursday. “It is a bit of a habit.” Daly was 7 over after 10 holes in the first round after becoming upset on the 10th hole when he hit a practice ball out of a bunker, believing it was his tee shot. The twoshot penalty and a three-putt that followed gave him a triple bogey. On the 11th, he hit ball after ball into the water, some landing in the center of the pond, before a tour official joined him. Moments later, Daly shook hands with playing partners Craig Parry of Australia and American Hunter Mahan and walked off the course. He would have been hitting his 16th shot if he had more golf balls. “Once I saw two go in, I think the effort went down pretty fast,” Mahan said. “It doesn’t do anyone any good for John to do what he did. It’s unfortunate, J.D. is a pleasant guy.” Parry was mostly sympathetic towards Daly, saying he had the right club to reach the green, but the wind was stronger than Daly realized. “I like John, he’s a great guy,” Parry said. Daly said on Twitter, “when u run out of balls u run out of balls. yes, I shook my player’s partners hands & signed my card w/rules official.” In a text message to The Associated Press, Daly said he hasn’t had confidence in his game since he was injured five years ago, and that he never thought he would run out of balls during a round. “I love the fans here in Australia. They’ve been great,” Daly said in the text. “I’ve never played well here. Try too hard and it backfired. ... But I do love the people here and this beautiful country.” Herden said Daly’s actions were “unprofessional” and action needed to be taken against him. And Herden said running out of balls was no excuse for walking off the course. “If you run out of golf balls, and you are acting in a professional manner, you will call a rules official and we will get the type of ball he is playing with and replenish his stock,” Herden said. “We can do that. For him to treat it as ‘that’s it’ and ‘see you later’, that’s not good enough.”
LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) —Nebraska chancellor Harvey Perlman is confident the Cornhuskers’ football traveling party and fans will be safe this weekend for the game at Penn State, the Nittany Lions’ first since 1965 without Joe Paterno as head coach. Crowd control for Saturday’s noon EST game became a concern for some after hundreds of students gathered on campus and in surrounding State College, Pa., following the firing of Paterno on Wednesday night. “I suppose canceling the game was always an option, but it has not been seriously considered,” Perlman wrote Thursday in an email to The Associated Press. “We continue to monitor the situation at Penn State but have received assurances that there is currently no reason to consider canceling.” Police in riot gear dispersed about 2,000 people who took to the streets after Paterno’s firing. Crowds toppled a television news van and kicked in its windows, and at least one photographer was pelted with a rock. Officers used pepper spray at times to control the crowd. Nebraska regent Tim Clare said he called Nebraska athletic director Tom Osborne early Thursday morning to discuss the situation. “Happy Valley is a pretty interesting place on a normal football Saturday,” Clare said. “Given what’s developed the last several days, particularly last night, we have a duty to ensure that our football student-athletes, staff, coaches and our fans are safe.” Penn State police chief Tyrone Parham wrote in an email to the AP that his force is “taking extra precautions and has added additional resources for the game.” He didn’t elaborate.

JOE PATERNO, center, and his wife, Susan, stand on their porch to thank well-wishers in State College, Pa.,Wednesday. The Penn State board of trustees voted Wednesday night to fire Paterno and university president Graham Spanier amid the growing furor over how the school handled sex abuse allegations against an assistant coach. Tom Bradley urged students to not engage in hooliganism because they’re upset about Paterno’s firing in the wake of the child sex abuse scandal involving former assistant Jerry Sandusky. “I think the message is clear: Let’s show them what Penn State is really all about ... Let’s show class; let’s show dignity,” Bradley said. He said he wasn’t worried about the safety of Penn State’s players on Saturday. Osborne told Lincoln radio station KLIN he would understand if Nebraska fans chose to wear a color other than red at the game. He added it isn’t feasible to move the game at this point. Nebraska season-ticket holder Jeff “Rocky” Sisel of Arlington, Va., who travels the country following the Huskers, said safety concerns won’t stop him from attending the game. He said he was at the
Huskers’ previous game at Penn State, a 40-7 loss in 2002, and he and other Nebraska fans were treated rudely. Sisel said Nittany Lions fans had a vendetta against the Huskers, who were voted national champion over unbeaten Penn State in 1994. Sisel said he will go with four or five friends to Saturday’s game. He said he’s considered renting a car for the trip because he’s worried his own vehicle will be targeted for vandalism. “I wouldn’t have thought about it otherwise, but I’m worried about the spirit and the feeling that these students are having,” Sisel said. “Are they going to take it out on Nebraska people? “I’m a little nervous, but I’m fine. I’m going to wear the Husker red proudly and hope for the best.” So will Jana Gross, a 1987 Nebraska graduate who lives
in Baltimore. She said she and her husband have had their tickets for two months and are planning to go unless more unrest develops. “I really think cooler heads will prevail,” she said. Osborne acknowledged in a statement that Nebraska has had “a number of inquiries from fans regarding the circumstances at Penn State and the conditions they might expect in attending the game.” He said Nebraska officials have talked with Penn State police and interim athletic director Mark Sherburne. “We have visited with Penn State security and we understand they are enhancing their security efforts for Saturday’s game and are taking extra precautions to ensure that all players, coaches and fans are treated in a respectful way,” Osborne said. “We know that our fans will reciprocate and display good sportsmanship.”

WORKERS UNCOVER the basketball floor to be used for the Carrier Classic NCAA on the deck of the USS Carl Vinson Thursday in San Diego, Calif. North Carolina and Michigan State will play the first Carrier Classic basketball game on the flight deck of the ship today.
Spartans, Heels set for Carrier Classic CORONADO, Calif. (AP) — The aircraft carrier that buried Osama bin Laden at sea is ready for the first college basketball game to be played on an active flat top. As long as the rain stays away from the Carrier Classic on the flight deck of the USS Carl Vinson on Friday afternoon, coaches Tom Izzo of Michigan State and Roy Williams of No. 1 North Carolina are confident their teams will put on a great Veterans Day show for the approximately 7,000 in the crowd, including the nation’s basketball-fan-in-chief, President Barack Obama, plus a national TV audience. Izzo and Williams said they and their players were blown away when they boarded the nuclear-powered carrier, which stretches 1,092 feet,
weighs 95,000 tons and has four steam catapults that can accelerate a jet fighter from 0 to 165 mph in just more than two seconds. “My first impression when I walked in far superseded whatever I thought it could be, and we’ve been talking about this for seven or eight years,” Izzo said Thursday aboard the carrier, which is berthed at North Island Naval Air Station. “If you could have seen our players’ eyes as we walked in, you just had such an appreciation for what we’re doing. It’s bigger than a game. It’s bigger than North Carolina against Michigan State. It’s kind of a dream come true for us. In a small, small way, I think we feel we’re giving a little bit back and maybe recognizing the people that deserve to be rec-
ognized, instead of just the athletes.” The game, a rematch of the 2009 national championship game won by North Carolina, was conceived to celebrate Veterans Day and salute active-duty military personnel. “Wow,” Williams said about his reaction to seeing the ship and the basketball court. The island, which serves as the command center for the ship and flight-deck operations, looms just 50 feet from one end of the court. For some high enough in the stands, there’s a view of the San Diego skyline across the bay. Williams said his players’ eyes and mouths were wide open as they walked around the flight deck after arriving in San Diego on Wednesday. “This is a celebration,” Williams said.
Four Lehman High School girls tennis players were recognized by the Miami Valley Tennis Coaches Association. The doubles team of Kandis Sargeant and Nicole Larger were named to the first team Larger after an outstanding season, Meghan Bennett was named to the second team and Julia Harrelson was named to the honorable mention list. S a r e a n t , Sargeant Larger and Bennett each received an Academic Award from the MVTCA given to seniors with a grade point average of 3.5 or higher and at least two varsity letters.

OSU president Busch to race final Cup cricial of AD races without main sponsor Smith in letter JENNA FRYER AP Auto Racing Writer
School reduces scholarships COLUMBUS (AP) — Ohio State President Gordon Gee expressed disappointment in athletic director Gene Smith for not properly monitoring the actions of a booster who got several Buckeyes football players into trouble with the NCAA. The university agreed to reduce its football scholarships over the next three years as the latest self-imposed punishment over a year of violations and sanctions. The NCAA also accused Ohio State for the first time of a “failure to monitor” for permitting the booster, Robert DiGeronimo, to continue to have contact with players even after he was involved in NCAA problems earlier in the year. In the letter to Smith, dated on Thursday, Gee wrote, “I am disappointed that this is where we find ourselves. You know I find this unacceptable.” In the information released on Thursday, it was also revealed that DiGeronimo had hidden in a locker in order to try to hear coach Jim Tressel’s speech prior to a game. The NCAA handed Ohio State a second letter of allegations covering all violations that have occurred since it sent the initial letter this summer. The first letter dealt with violations stemming from players taking cash and discount tattoos from a Columbus tattoo-shop owner, and a subsequent coverup by Tressel. The latest letter covers violations not covered during Ohio State’s hearing before the NCAA’s committee on infractions on Aug. 12. The reduction in football scholarships would seem to be a token sanction that would have little effect on the football program, accounting for only one or two scholarships per year in a program that is permitted 85. The university previously announced it will repay the $338,811 it received as its portion of bowl revenues last year from the Big Ten. It also vacated the Buckeyes’ 12-1 record in the 2010 season including a Sugar Bowl win and agreed to go on two years of NCAA probation. The university had also suspended several players and forced the resignation of Tressel. The university previously said that DiGeronimo arranged cash payments of $200 to four current or former players at a Cleveland sports banquet earlier this
year. The university also said DiGeronimo overpaid five players by $1,605 while they were working for businesses owned and operated by the DiGeronimo family. Ohio State said Thursday it should have done more to monitor DiGeronimo’s activities. Smith said the athletic department has consistently worked with the NCAA to investigate any allegation, take responsibility and self-report its findings to the NCAA. “That is what we have done on this last open issue, and we accept that we should have done more to oversee Mr. DiGeronimo’s activities,” Smith said in a statement. He added, “On a personal note, I deeply regret that I did not ensure the degree of monitoring our institution deserves and demands.” DiGeronimo did not immediately return a call Thursday seeking comment. The university said in its latest report to the NCAA that DiGeronimo had been an Ohio State booster since the 1980s, when he was part of a group known as the “committeemen” who helped recruit players before such practices were outlawed. DiGeronimo contributed more than $72,000 to the athletic department since 1988 and had been a season ticket holder for years, the report said. DiGeronimo was one of a group of outsiders who had access to Ohio State’s locker room on game days, a practice that Tressel stopped after taking the head coaching stop, according to the report. After that ban, Tressel caught DiGeronimo trying to hide in a locker to listen to Tressel’s pregame speech and ordered him and another individual out of the locker room, the report said. In 2005, Tressel and then Smith also ordered DiGeronimo to stop providing lunches to members of the athletic department coaching staff. Despite these actions, the university said it should have done a better job monitoring DiGeronimo’s interactions with players away from the university, including attendance at an annual charity event where DiGeronimo was on the event’s board, as well as taking jobs with DiGeronimo’s excavation business.
Miami East advances to state championship FAIRBORN — Miami East advanced to the championship game of the Division III State Volleyball Tournament with a 25-21, 25-21, 1725, 25-22 victory over Frankfort Adena in the semifinals Thursday night at Wright State University. The Lady Vikings, who ran their season record to 28-1, will play for the state championship Saturday at 11 a.m. against 26-2 Gates
Mills Gilmour Academy. Leah Dunivan had 12 kills, Abby Cash 10 kills and Kelsey Vanchure nine kills for Miami East. Another area team, St. Henry, plays in the Division IV semifinals tonight at 6 p.m. against Sycamore Mohawk. St. Henry is 26-1 and Mohawk 25-2. The winner of that game plays in the championship Saturday at 6 p.m.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) ‚Äî Kyle Busch will be allowed to race in the final two Sprint Cup Series events but without main sponsor M&M’s, The Associated Press has learned. Busch will drive Sunday at Phoenix and in next weekend’s season finale at Homestead with Interstate Batteries as his sponsor instead, a person familiar with Joe Gibbs Racing’s plans told the AP on Thursday. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because discussions about Busch’s future are ongoing. Although M&M’s is Busch’s primary sponsor, Interstate Batteries is heavily involved with the team. M&M’s did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The deal ends a week wrangling over of Busch’s future with his race team — all fallout from a road rage incident at Texas. Busch wrecked Ron Hornaday Jr. under caution early in the Trucks Series race and was parked by NASCAR for the rest of the weekend. Busch has admitted he lost control of his temper and has since apologized. NASCAR suspended him from all racing at Texas, and this week fined him $50,000 and placed him on probation through the end of the year. But questions from his sponsors put everything in limbo. In fact, multiple peo-

IN THIS 2010 file photo, Kyle Busch, right, and Denny Hamlin, talk after their qualifying runs for the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Coca-Cola 600 auto race at Charlotte Motor Speedway, in Concord, N.C. Multiple people familiar with Busch’s schedule told the AP that Z-Line Designs asked this week that Hamlin replace Busch in next weekend’s Nationwide race at Homestead. The people spoke on condition of anonymity because Busch's future was still being discussed Thursday with sponsors and Joe Gibbs Racing. ple familiar with Busch’s schedule told the Associated Press that Z-Line Designs asked this week that Denny Hamlin replace Busch in next weekend’s Nationwide race at Homestead. The people spoke on condition of anonymity because the meetings over Busch’s future have been ongoing. Interstate was JGR’s original primary sponsor and only relinquished its role when Busch signed with the team in 2008. The company was the primary sponsor for Busch in six Cup races this season. It also was his sponsor in a Nationwide and Truck Series race and sponsored Hamlin and Joey Logano
in one race each. Busch, who seemed unrepentant after the accident, admitted he lost his cool on the track. “I’ve been wrecked four weeks in a row, and I’ve had enough of it, and I retaliated,” he said. “So it’s certainly my fault for doing that. If everybody wants to say, ‘Hornaday is racing for a championship, roll over,’ that’s not my fashion. That’s not anybody else’s fashion out here.” His tone changed considerably a day later, after NASCAR “parked” him from all competition at Texas. “I’ve had a lot of time today to sit and reflect, and try to put my thoughts into words as
best I can,” he wrote in a lengthy apology posted Saturday on the Kyle Busch Motorsports website. “I want to sincerely apologize for my actions during Friday night’s Truck Series race at Texas.” It’s been a tremendous fall for the 26-yearold Busch, who just two months ago was the favorite to win his first Sprint Cup championship. He opened the 10-race Chase for the Sprint Cup tied with rival Kevin Harvick for the top seed based on his four regular season victories. But he again faltered in the opening Chase races and was never a serious title contender.
Injuries pile up in Browns’ secondary BEREA, Ohio (AP) — Browns starting strong safety T.J. Ward’s right foot remains immobilized inside a cast, leaving Cleveland’s secondary with a very noticeable limp. Ward missed his second day of practice Thursday with the injury he sustained last week in Houston, and coach Pat Shurmur said there’s a “very good chance” the hard-hitting safety will not play Sunday against the St. Louis Rams. “I don’t want to rule him out yet,” Shurmur said. But that seems inevitable with Ward’s foot still in a cast, just three days from kickoff. The Browns have not provided any specifics of Ward’s injury or the results of an MRI taken Monday. Ward’s injury is the latest blow for the banged-up Browns (3-5), who had eight players sit out Thursday’s practice with four others limited. Cleveland’s running attack has been slowed to a crawl because of injuries to running backs Peyton Hillis and Mon-
tario Hardesty, both of whom will sit out for the second straight game. Hillis has missed Cleveland’s past four games, depriving him a chance to convince the Browns ‚Äî or a team in free agency ‚Äî that he deserves to be paid as one of the NFL’s top backs. Last week, the offensive backfield was weakened. This week, the team’s defensive backs are hurting. Not only is Ward injured, but Usama Young, who splits time at free safety with Mike Adams, has been slowed by an aching hip that has kept him out of practice the past two days. His status is unknown for Sunday’s game as is nickel back Dimitri Patterson, who didn’t practice and may have to sit out his second consecutive game with a knee injury. Young’s injury could force the Browns to give rookie Eric Hagg his first career start. Hagg was inactive for Cleveland’s first six games after undergoing knee surgery in the preseason. He made his pro debut two weeks ago at

young players that improves and sees something new every day,” Shurmur said. “He’s a very aware guy. He’s a physical tackler and at least the practices and competitive situations I’ve seen him in in training camp, we felt really good about the progress he was making in those competitive situations, which is pretty much the last time we saw him do that. We’re anticipating he’ll play well.” Adams has been impressed with Hagg’s progress, and is confident he can handle starting if necessary. “He’s growing,” he said. “It’s just trying to get the game to slow down for him. Out there (in a real game) is 10 times faster than practice. Just getting the game to slow down for him and calm down a little bit. He’ll be fine.” Ward has been playing well in his second season. His 35 tackles are third on the club and he’s been making some of the teeth-rattling hits that drew the Browns to him and prompted them to draft him in the second round last year.

San Francisco and played in a limited role and on special teams last week in the 30-12 loss to the Texans. Hagg has worked with the Browns’ starting defense during the portion of practice open to reporters the past two days. If he’s asked to start on Sunday, Hagg’s ready. “I’ve just been working hard, listening to what the coaches have to say, listening to the vets, what they have to say,” Hagg said. “There’s a couple mistakes out there here and there, but when you watch film, watch them on tape, get your corrections made, I feel pretty comfortable. I’m just learning.” The Browns selected Hagg in the seventh round. They had hoped to work him into their rotation earlier, but he got hurt defending a pass during a training camp practice and underwent surgery on Aug. 15.

Adolphus Washington, a senior defensive end from Cincinnati Taft, is showing a renewed interest in the University of Cincinnati and will make an official visit to UC.

RECEIVERS >
It has taken Braxton Miller only a few games to show why he was such a highly recruited quarterback. He is a dynamic runner. But, other than his game-winning throw against Wisconsin, the Ohio State freshman has looked like a work in progress in the passing game. He has not thrown for more than 95 yards in any of his starts. This is no longer Joe Tiller and Drew Brees’ pass-dominated offense for Purdue. The Boilermakers rank ninth in the Big Ten in passing yards. Caleb TerBush (1,386 yards passing, 10 TDs, 6 INTs) is the starter, but Robert Marve (344 yards, 3 TDs) has rotated with TerBush in some games. Advantage: Even
Uncertainty is the rule in OSU’s receiving unit. Devin Smith caught the winning touchdown pass against Wisconsin and then didn’t get a catch against Indiana. Tight end Jake Stoneburner caught eight passes in the first two games of the season and has only four since. Purdue spreads the ball around in the passing game. Nine different Boilermakers caught passes in a 62-17 loss to Wisconsin last week and six players have 12 or more catches. Justin Siler (34 catches), O.J. Ross (29 catches) and Antavian Edison (26 catches) are TerBush’s favorite targets. Advantage: Purdue
< OFFENSIVE LINEMEN
Ohio State has blocked well in its running game but continues to give up an uncomfortably high number of sacks. The Buckeyes have averaged 267 yards a game rushing in their last four games since being held to 35 yards on the ground by Michigan State. But they also have allowed a Big Ten-worst 28 sacks this season. Purdue’s left tackle Dennis Kelly has started 33 consecutive games and has been talked about as an NFL prospect. The Boilermakers’ second-most experienced lineman, guard Peters Drey, missed last week’s game and is questionable for this week because of a back injury. Advantage: Ohio State
< DEFENSIVE LINEMEN OSU’s John Simon has been dominant in the last three games, totaling five sacks and nine tackles for losses. He has six sacks and 12.5 tackles for losses on the season. Jonathan Hankins has three sacks and eight tackles for losses. Purdue defensive end Kawann Short (12.5 tackles for losses, 3.5 sacks) was a second-team All-Big Ten selection last season. Tackle Bruce Gaston is a two-year starter. Freshman Ryan Russell, one of the Boilermakers’ better pass rushers, was limited last week by a sprained ankle. Advantage: Ohio State
< LINEBACKERS
JOHN SIMON The 6-foot-2, 270-pound junior defensive lineman from Youngstown is part of a wicked group that continues to harrass offensive lines. Simon has 39 tackles this season, 12.5 for a loss, with six sacks.
< RUNNING BACKS Dan Herron has run for more than 100 yards in each of the last three games and Carlos Hyde went over 100 yards for the second time this season when Ohio State beat Indiana 34-20 last Saturday. Jordan Hall’s ankle sprain, which kept him on the sidelines last week, might still be a problem this week. For Purdue, Ralph Bolden, who missed last season with a knee injury, and junior college transfer Akeem Shavers share the tailback position. Bolden (469 yards) and Shavers (338 yards) both average 4.6 yards per carry. Advantage: Ohio State

Ohio State’s linebackers’ inexperience is sometimes overlooked. Andrew Sweat, the veteran of the group, has 52 percent of his career tackles this season. Seventy-seven percent of Etienne Sabino’s career tackles have been this season and 49 percent of Storm Klein’s stops have been this season. Sweat leads OSU with 66 tackles and has five tackles for losses. For Purdue, Dwayne Beckford has 70 tackles and four tackles for losses. Joe Holland is second on the team in tackles with 67 and has an interception. He has 44 career starts. Advantage: Ohio State
< DEFENSIVE BACKS Turnovers have been an emphasis from Day One for Ohio State coach Luke Fickell. OSU’s 10 interceptions ranks third in the Big Ten, but Fickell says the Buckeyes need to do more. Cornerback Bradley Roby has three interceptions to lead OSU. Purdue sophomore cornerback Ricardo Allen has three interceptions this season and six in his career. He has taken three of the interceptions back for touchdowns, including one this season. Advantage: Ohio State
SPECIAL TEAMS > Ohio State fans got nervous when kicker Drew Basil missed his first two kicks this season after going 0 for 2 last year. But Basil has hit 12 in a row since then. Carson Wiggs, who kicked a 55-yard field goal in Purdue’s upset of Ohio State in 2009, is 10 of 15 on field goals this season. Punter Cody Webster leads the Big Ten at 45.5 yards a kick. Freshman Raheem Mostert is second in the Big Ten in kickoff returns (31.6 yards per return). Advantage: Purdue

Paterno’s exit like other icons The three most earth-shaking firings in the Big Ten in the last 50 years have to be Ohio State firing football coach Woody Hayes in 1978, Indiana terminating men’s basketball coach Bobby Knight in 2000 and Wednesday night’s ousting of football coach Joe Paterno in a house cleaning that also took down the president at Penn State. All three coaches were iconic figures who had spent several decades in their jobs. All three had become, for good or ill, the face of their universities to many people. They were legends. And all three did themselves in. Hayes and Knight cost themselves their jobs with their inability to control their tempers. But it was different with Paterno. His inaction, or maybe more precisely doing less than he should have, cost him a job he had held for 46 years. Paterno, who will be 85 years old next month, apparently learned at least the broad outline of an incident in which his longtime defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky allegedly sexually abused a child in 2002. His failure to do anything beyond reporting it to his athletic director led to his demise. In 46 years at Penn State, Paterno must have made thousands of decisions, maybe hundreds of thousands. But his career and at least part of his legacy came down to one bad decision. In all three of those firings -- and in the forced resignation of Jim Tressel at Ohio State earlier this year-- there came a point where the damage to the images of the universities became so great that it became inevitable the coaches would not survive the controversies swirling around them. Penn State, which had happily allowed Paterno to be the face of the university for so many years, decided it no longer could affort to be part of that bargain. It will be strange to see Penn State take the field on Saturday against Nebraska without Paterno, just as it will be odd not to see him at Ohio Stadium next Saturday.

Volunteers help restore history BY JENNIFER BUMGARNER jbumgarner@sdnccg.com URBANA — Volunteers have been showing up at Grimes Field in Urbana to help restore a piece of history. The Champaign Lady is housed in a hanger at the airport, 1636 N. Main St., and has slowly begun to take shape. The task of restoring a B-17 began in 2005 when the fully restored B-17 Liberty Belle arrived at the airport. After seeing the excitement on the faces of the people who visited the aircraft, Tom Reilly, of Tom Reilly Vintage Aircraft Inc. contacted Jerry Shiffer and within a couple of weeks the project was underway. Tragically, Shiffer passed away the day the first shipment of parts were scheduled to arrive at the hanger. His death didn’t stop the project, and now, six years later, the volunteers are still showing up on a daily basis to turn the vision into reality. In the hanger, there are pieces scattered about and more pieces coming in thanks to a group of volunteers who went on a trip of a lifetime. Two of the 12 volunteers who went on the trip were Bill Albers and Mark Curtner, both from Sidney. Curtner is a veteran and was in the 82nd Airborne and was in the military for six years. He got interested in the project as a way to help preserve history for the younger generations. Albers was born Dutch and was in the Dutch Air Force. He was born in 1940 when Holland was occupied. He remembers hearing stories from his mother about the planes that flew over during World War II and wants to give something back. “My mom told me the stories about 500 to 1,000 airplanes coming over the house,” said Albers. “This went on twice a day during the day and at night they had the British bombers coming over.” All of the volunteers are working on the plane for his or her own reasons, and the goal is for the plane to be flown again. As they have worked to restore the aircraft, the group found a wreckage in Alaska that they had the opportunity to salvage parts from. On Sept. 10, 1951, a B-17 crashed near Talkeetna, Alaska. One of the crew members died in the fiery crash. For nearly 60 years, the crash site remained untouched by humans. After hearing about the aircraft, the museum at Grimes Field got a permit in Alaska to take any parts that were salvageable from the airplane. Before the group headed up to Alaska, the first step

They left on July 23 and arrived back on Aug. 8. The group first flew to Anchorage, Alaska and then headed over 100 miles north to Talkeetna. The area was remote, and there were no roads to the crash site. “A crew went in there with a small helicopter and they lifted out the large parts with a larger helicopter,” said Albers. “Mark and I were in a group of about eight of use and we went by what they called a jet boat, a very shallow waters, very fast boat and it took about 45 minutes.” The boat took them about 20 miles but when they got out of the boat they still had to walk a mile and a half ,which took almost two hours to hike. According to Albers, the area they were entering was bear country and the volunteers had a couple of shotguns with them for protection. “When we first got there, I don’t like going out there and not being armed,” said Curtner. “We got there and were there our second day and seven kids were attacked by a bear just four miles from where we were and a couple of them were killed.” The volunteers made it to the site without incident and were able to start loading parts to be hauled out by helicopter. There weren’t trails to follow to the crash site. A guide had gone to the site previously and had marked the trail with special tape which they followed. Because
the bomber had been in the elements for 60 years, it was covered with 60 years’ worth of growth, and there were signs of animals all over the parts. Some parts even have teeth and claw marks from bears and other creatures. According to Curtner, the body of the wreckage was full of porcupine droppings, which they believe is from when the animals had hidden in the aircraft from predators. “Tons of it,” said Curtner. “Like 55 gallon bags just dumped. They’re about as big as a throat lozenge and there were just millions of them in the plane.” After sorting through the parts, the volunteers were able to haul a large trailer full of pieces of the wreckage back to Urbana. Some of the pieces are very mangled and difficult to identify to an untrained eye but according to Albers, “the master mechanic knows” where the parts go. The trip was necessary because there are some parts that they are unable to purchase for the restoration. Now volunteers will continue to work on the project and start going through the parts brought back from the other wreckage. “Volunteerism is the key word,” said Albers. “You give something back. You do it for a reason. This is not a party place. You work with accuracy. You make this airplane flyable. People will be flying in this airplane.” Every rivet is inspected and things are triple checked for accuracy. There are probably over 1 million rivets, and it takes two people to just do the job of putting in the rivets. The project is progressing slowly but surely. Albers main contribution to the project is work in the radio room. Curtner assists with projects and helps
where there is a need. “I think the people is what makes the project,” said Curtner. “I think the plane is neat, but the people, like Art Kemp, the guys like that, are what make it worthwhile.” Kemp is a World War II veteran who was a tail gunner in a B-17. Kemp visits the project nearly every Saturday afternoon and shares his stories about his time overseas with the volunteers and visitors to the museum. The Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress was considered a major contributor to the Allied victory in World War II, but according to Albers, today only 14 of the original fleet of 12,731 bombers can still fly. When the B-17 bombers flew during World War II, they had no insulation and no additional armor so the crew would be exposed to the elements and extreme temperatures when the bomber was at 25,000 feet. According to Albers, it wasn’t unusual for a bomber to arrive back at the base with hundreds of holes in the aircraft and injured crew members. The B-17 is 74 feet, 4 inches long, and the wingspan is 103 feet 10 inches. Empty, the bomber weighs 36,135 pounds. When it was loaded, it weighed 65,500 pounds. The cruise speed is 170 mph and the maximum speed is 300 mph. It was named the Flying Fortress because of its firepower. It had 13.5 caliber machine guns and a 9,600 pound bomb load. The museum is open on Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and on Saturday from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. and it is closed on Sunday. Volunteers are welcome and can contact Jack Bailey for more information at (937) 6524710.
Fair board faces financial dilemma The Shelby County Agricultural Society (Fair Board) is still plagued by financial problems following the decrease in attendance, season passes and lower attendance on special days at this year’s fair. According to reports from the society, the treasurer, Barb Heilers presented the board will bills to be paid in October in the amount of $10,591.41. It was further noted that the amount did not include more than $7,000 in outstanding bills that the board did not have the funds to pay. In September, the board was presented with bills for $8,681.16, but those bills did not include $12,000 in other bills that, due to a
lack of funding, remain unpaid. President Tim Everett, vice president Mitch Brautigam and secretary Jerry Schaffner met with First National Bank in New Bremen to discuss a loan that the board had applied for. According to Everett, the board used equipment for collateral and needed an updated report for income and expenses before the loan could be processed. The executive committee and the budget committee is planning on meeting several times before the December meeting. Everett reported suggestions such as cutting $10,000 from the entertainment budget. Other sugges-
tions were to increase the cost of season passes, raising the daily gate admission and even the possibility of charging junior fair participants for their fair passes to help defer the cost of the junior fair budget. The board will also be asking for sponsorships for the 2012 fair. According to Everett, the sponsors for the 2011 fair were instrumental in keeping this year’s loss in revenue lower than it could have been. Following a long discussion about the financial situation, Heilers told the board that the idea of board members not receiving their money for meeting attendance and their food al-
lowance money for the fair was a generous offer, but the constitution would have to be changed in December in order for this to happen. Director Jeremy Reese asked if board members could take their checks and give them back to the board and Heilers responded that they could do that but that it would have to be a voluntary gesture. The board was also informed by the Sidney Kroger that the business would no longer be able to see the individual day wrist bands because they could not keep the money in their safe. The board set the 2012 fair dates of July 22 to 28 and the board will also be applying for Ohio fair funds.

Shelby County at war in 1943 EDITOR’S NOTE — The following article is reprinted from the Shelby County Historical Society’s newsletter with permission. BY ALBERT B. DICKAS, PH.D. The history of the United States can easily be segmented into time periods by its involvement in war. Since my birth America has sent its young men and women off to conflict in one foreign land or another on five serious occasions, and that doesn’t count an additional handful of so-termed “rescue operations” or minor “police actions.” As this report is being penned, two of the five conflicts mentioned above are under way simultaneously: • The Afghanistan War. Begun in October 2001 under the code name Operation Enduring Freedom, this invasion was the result of the Sept. 11, 2001, attack on the World Trade towers in Manhattan and the Pentagon building by 19 Taliban terrorist. Today, 62,000 U.S. soldiers are serving side by side with United Nations troops in a continuing attempt to root out the religious-political system that organized and carried out the “9/11” attacks. • The Iraq Conflict. Begun on March 30, 2003, under the code name Operation New Dawn, after “intelligence” had supposedly discovered caches of “weapons of mass destruction.” Fifty thousand U.S. troops are still stationed in this desert country. These conflicts are often reported today by the American news media as a subject equal in importance to the vagaries of the weather and the shenanigans of professional sports. Life continues on a “guns and butter” basis — a description adopted during the Lyndon B. Johnson administration for conducting war without home front perks being affected one iota. In contrast, daily news reports concerning the events of World War II were the stuff of boldtype headlines. For six years the front page of the Sidney Daily News heralded the news, from both the front lines and the home front. By 1943, America had been on a wartime footing for a little more than a year and activities in support of the war effort were approaching a high-water mark in cities and towns across the land. Shelby County and Sidney were no exception. This was no guns-and-butter conflict. Community support included a variety of activities, some organized locally, but many directed from the national level. A month-by-month tally is illustrative of that support as practiced in Shelby County. January • The first operational mobilization of the Civilian Defense Corps is held with “gratifying results,” in anticipation of a citywide “dim-out” demonstration planned for late in the month as an exercise on how the community would be prepared in the event of a possible

Woolley reportedly enlisted at age 17 in 1940, lying about his age. He was in the South Pacific during WWII, mostly in Fiji and the Philippines until August of 1945 when he was discharged. He remained on active duty, however, and was called back for the Korean Conflict in November 1950 and was stationed in Fort Poke, La. There, he obtained the rank of 1st lieutenant and trained troops. He was again discharged October 1953 and remained on active reserve until December 1960. While in the Pacific Woolley received two Purple Heart medals for injuries he sustained. His family notes that he carried shrapnel in his elbow for the rest of his life, serving as a reminder of the war. enemy air raid, the eventuality of which has not been ruled out by Air Corps officials. • A new 2nd lieutenant is named to the three man officer corps of Company K, Ohio State Guard. This group of 50 enlisted men has been organized to take the place of the local contingent of Ohio National Guard personnel called to active duty in the U.S. Army. Its mission is directed toward the control and solution of any local disturbance that may be deemed to be detrimental to the safety of the community. • The Girl Scout troops successfully complete their first citywide collection of household animal fats to be used in the production of glycerin for the manufacture of military munitions. Five hundred pounds are collected and sold through authorized channels. The scouts use the raised monies to give “a nice send off ” at the two local railroad stations to men leaving the city for duty in the Armed Forces. • The war effort is brought to the very edge of the kitchen table when the “national food czar” announces that “no bread or rolls sold to individual consumers may be sliced, and consignment selling of break and fancy baking methods are out.” • More than 5,250 persons are employed in all types of manufacturing in Shelby County, the largest number in the county’s history. Factories are now looking toward older men and even women to take on the manufacture of war materials. • The second local woman to join the Women’s Army Auxiliary Corps is preparing to leave soon for basic training at Fort Des Moines in Iowa. Although the possibility of invasion or attack by an enemy many miles away was remote, America took no chances. “The war will come right to our cities and residential
districts, never underestimate the strength or the cruelty of the enemy,” one army general warned. Gun emplacements sprouted overnight on rooftops in the major cities and along the seashore of both coasts. Searchlights danced in the night skies, seeking enemy warplanes. No hamlet was too isolated and no city too sophisticated to completely escape the war jitters. Americans fretted, tacked black cloth on their windows and waited, half-expecting their homeland to be tested by the fires of war. February • Americans are informed they stand a good chance of having an average of 11 cans of fruit and vegetables available per person next month under the point-rationing system. • Under a new plan, the local rationing board can now distribute renewed applications to B, C, E and R gasoline ration holders by mail. Formerly, such renewals had to be made in person. • Twenty-six Shelby County men leave town from the Baltimore and Ohio railroad station, bound for Fort Hayes, Columbus. • Sidney residents are reminded by civilian defense officials to have their used tin cans in front of their homes by Monday morning. All cans should be cleaned, flattened and all paper labels removed. Last month “about half a railroad car of cans was collected for the war effort.” The civilian labor force that was ultimately responsible for the wartime triumph of American technology was the most productive in the nation’s historyand the most unusual. Operating at full blast, industry had to rely heavily on the skills of those who had been largely excluded from the factories in prewar days: women, blacks, Southern white migrants, teenagers, convicts and ex-convicts, the
aged and the physically handicapped. At San Quentin prison in California, inmates turned out material ranging from antisubmarine nets to night sticks for the National Guard. In Maine a builder of wooden minesweepers lured 100 ship carpenters out of retirement, including one man aged 84, after discovering that no one else know how to use an old-fashioned tool called an adz. Aircraft plants hired midgets to inspect the cramped insides of plane wings and blind workers to sort out rivets from the floor sweepings. Other factories hired the deaf for jobs in plant areas where noise levels were intolerable to people with normal hearing. March • Community-wide dollar and cent price ceilings in pork and beef are in the offing, so as to halt black market operations on these foods. The rules are expected to be in effect “within a few days,” so that of every three pounds of available meat supply, two will go to the Armed Forces and one will be left for civilian consumption. • Plans are under way for carrying out the Second War Loan Drive and for the second annual Scrap Drive. The latter will involve the countywide collection of scrap metal, rubber, rags, paper, tin cans, fats and grease, and silk and nylon hose. A local quota of $1.8 million has been set With a growing shortage of manpower, an intensive recruitment of women had begun. Posters showing Lockheed Aircraft’s mythical “Rosie the Riveter” — a buxom, long-lashed heroine in coveralls — began appearing everywhere, along with feature stories about her real-life counterparts. “If you can drive a car, you can run a machine,” was the slogan of a Connecticut ordnance plant’s campaign to hire 5,000 women. April
• Bomb disposal instruction begins in the Sidney High School auditorium. Those granted certification as bomb reconnaissance agents will be responsible for locating unexploded bombs dropped by enemy aircraft and directing the evacuation of person from the danger zones. • America’s war-time economy moves toward complete regimentation as directions are received from the War Labor Board in Washington, D.C., to authorize “no further increases in wages and salaries” for the duration of the war. • Price ceilings on wheat, cotton, fresh fish, apples and other “fruits in season” are announced. Breakfast was no longer the hearty repast with which Americans fortified traditionally themselves against the day ahead. Eggs were plentiful, but a strip of bacon on the plate now represented a dubious expenditure of treasured meat-ration stamps. Rationing also dictated a smaller slathering of butter on the toast, a more judiciously measured teaspoonful of sugar in the coffee and second thoughts about the need for another cup. Since kitchen appliances could not be replaced, even the slamming of the refrigerator door or overtaxing the toaster or electric percolator became a risky matter. May • The Ohio Legislature approves “for the duration” a maximum 10-hour workday and a 50-hour workweek for women. • A public demonstration of various types of gases “that might be dropped should an enemy see fit to send bombers over the area” is given at the high school athletic field. Four types of gas are exploded: leivisite, phosgene, mustard and choloropicrin. Individuals are given the opportunity to smell each type so they might recognize them in an actual attack.

Shelby County’s Home Guard — Company K Citizen soldiers at the ready EDITOR’S NOTE — The following article is reprinted from the Shelby County Historical Society’s newsletter with permission. BY ALBERT B. DICKAS, PH.D. The words spoken by Franklin Delano Roosevelt on that long-ago March day in 1933 were transmitted instantly into thousands of American homes by that then relatively new medium — radio. They were meant to calm a population weary of an already three-year-long economic depression, and to an extent they did. Seven years later they were needed again. Only the shadows of the Great Depression remained, but new troubles were brewing on the horizon. Having run roughshod over a prostrate Poland, Hitler and his mechanized army were storming Norway by sea maneuver and airborne troop and would soon bring France to her knees by an end-run around the vaulted Maginot Line. The year was 1940, and FDR was once more addressing the nation, telling the American people he would not send their youth into a “foreign” war. Some Americans were again calmed, but many were not. Concerned about the possibility of enemy agents infiltrating the borders of the United States, several citizen groups around the Buckeye State — mainly veterans of the Great War — were advocating the organization of a statewide “defense force.” The need seemed to be there. Nationwide, National Guard divisions were being called to active duty with the U.S. Army, leaving communities both small and large without the resources of the Guard, the state-based “reservemilitia” that in peacetime was often mobilized during times of flood, storm and civil disobedience. The argument seemed logical — if the regular backup, the Guard, had been nationalized, then there was need to create a new backup force to replace the now absent force. In Washington, D.C., Congress listened and acted. Legislation was passed on Oct. 21 allowing the creation of “State Guard” forces charged with, among other responsibilities, the protection of “key installations and facilities and guarding hundreds of miles of otherwise unprotected shoreline.” On Dec. 7, one year before the Pearl Harbor “day of infamy,” Clarence Stewart represented Sidney at a Columbus meeting called for the purpose of organizing an “Ohio Home Guard” (Sidney Daily News, Dec. 6, 1940). The atmosphere during the conference conducted there was grim, as the state adjutant general warned “this is not a plaything, but something that will call for sacrifices, long hours and maybe no pay.” Urgency being the by-

A bill that was introduced on Valentine’s Day of 1941 became law 10 weeks later “with unanimity seldom witnessed.” Robert Haubrich assumed command with rank of brigadier general. This new “Ohio State Guard” was to number statewide between 1,000 and 4,800 officers and men, and would be structured as a brigade composed of three regiments. Each regiment would consist of a headquarters and service company, a medical detachment and three battalions with three companies each. Sidney was programmed to be the locale of one company of three officers and 50 enlisted men. Charles Stump, former captain of Company I, 148 Infantry Regiment, Ohio National Guard (Historical Highlights, May 2007), started the ball rolling with an organizational meeting at the Armory. All interested men between the ages of 18 and 64 were urged to attend. Soon, 44 of the then 48 states, plus the territories of Alaska, Hawaii and the Virgin Islands and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, would organize State Guard units. The total strength of this nationwide force would eventually exceed 150,000 troops — an average of 3,360 men per state and overall the equivalent of 10 regular U.S. Army infantry divisions. With an authorized strength of 4,800, the Buckeye command at full force would exceed this average number by a full 50 percent. Early on, however, due to a general lack of funds, weapons, uniforms and equipment, the Ohio State Guard had to be limited to around 2,300 officers and men. Inaugural muster The news article doesn’t mention how many members of the invited “general public” were present that Tuesday

evening, but the Armory was surely filled when 51 Shelby County citizens answered “present” as the very first muster of Company K, 1st Regiment, Ohio State Guard, was called by Capt. Stump (manager of the Liberty Folder plant, Brooklyn Avenue) and his staff, 1st Lt. Frank Marshall (attorney) and Second Lt. Clyde Millhoff (teller, First National Exchange Bank) (SDN, July, 2, 1941). In all probability this ceremony was conduced “in mufti” (civilian dress), because a week had not yet passed since word was released by regimental headquarters in Columbus that the official State Guard uniform would be light blue in color and consist of one blouse, a pair of shirts, trousers and shoes, along with one tie, belt and hat. Eventually each member would be issued a 1903 model Enfield to complement this $11.50 uniform. Excitement was running high as Company K milled about the Baltimore and Ohio depot in the very early morning of Sunday, Aug. 17, 1941, waiting for the 6:05 train north. The company was en route to its first summer training camp session at Camp Perry, located 40 miles east of Toledo along the south shore of Lake Erie. The initial 300 acres of this sprawling military training center — which one day would become the largest outdoor firing range in the world — were purchased in 1906 as the site of a rifle range and marksmanship camp after American gunnery skills proved deficient during the Spanish-American War (1898). Upon its arrival at 10:45, Company K was to join sister units of the 1st Regiment in a weeklong regimen of marksmanship, bayonet training, close-order drill and training in the suppression of domestic disturbances. This daily routine began with reveille at 5:30 a.m. and
ended with mess at 6 p.m. Since all armies march on their stomachs, a grocery order “big enough to feed the average family of four for more than 15 years” had already arrived at Perry. Included were 6,000 pies, 750 gallons of milk, 4 tons of potatoes, 2,000 12,240 cantaloupes, eggs, 2 tons of beef, 1,500 pounds of “java” and a ton of butter (SDN, Aug. 12, 1941). Because America was still “at peace,” training was limited by War Department order to the discharge at the firing range of a mere 10 cartridges per man. With that restriction, it was surely difficult to operate under the old adage “practice makes perfect.” The dust had hardly settled over the disaster of Pearl Harbor when the Adjutant General of Ohio sent a telegram to Capt. Stump ordering Company K to a state of “alert duty subject to call at any time.” The powers of Article 1, Section 8, of the Constitution of the United States came immediately to life: “The Congress shall have power … to provide for calling forth the militia to execute the laws of the Union, suppress insurrection and repel invasions.” Henceforth, and for “the duration of the war,” citizen soldiers from Shelby County would join their colleagues across the country in standing ready when called upon to carry out the primary mission of the State Guard: ensure internal security, guard important installations and function as auxiliary troops in the event of a hostile invasion. By midyear 1942, the Ohio Guard was composed of more than 50 units assigned to communities across the state. Apparently elements of the U.S. Army did not look kindly on this growth success, for an announcement from the Adjutant General’s office set the record straight — incidents oc-
curring anywhere in Ohio that might require a military response would be the immediate responsibility of the regular Army. In other words, the Army was telling the Guard: “Don’t call us — we’ll call you, if needed.” Nonplussed, Company K went about its weekly training program, even adding exercises directed toward the curtailment and containment of enemy parachute troops. If this degree of preparedness seems overkill from the viewpoint of today’s worldwide communication network, it should be remembered that during the early months of 1942 newspaper accounts reported a Japanese fleet off the San Francisco coast and enemy aircraft flying through the night skies of Los Angeles. While these reports were proven false, a longrange Japanese submarine did actually surface offshore Santa Barbara, Calif., and fire several shells onto an oilfield, starting a small fire. American soil had been violated, and Shelby no longer County seemed so safe. Keeping Company K at a state of full strength was an ongoing struggle, since members were continually being called to regular service by their draft boards. This state of flux extended into every corner of the country as Americans became increasingly involved in the escalation of World War II. In late 1942, yet another civilian volunteer organization was formed. Known as Victory Corps and organized under the auspices of the U.S. Office of Education and the sponsorship of the U.S. Army, it took as its purpose preparing high school students to assist in the war effort on the home front and even the “front lines” if necessary. Its day-to-day activities were placed in the hands of the American Legion. In Sidney, this organizational web also involved Company K, for an early 1943 front-page notice requested all officers to “report at the armory to go to St. Mary’s where they will instruct recruits of the new victory corps drill program.” (SDN, Feb. 19, 1943). Change in the Guard By the summer of 1943, the Ohio State Guard was under orders to increase its statewide personnel level to 4,800 members. At the same time, its annual budget was soon to increase to $470,000. These changes necessitated the addition of staff at Guard Headquarters in Columbus. As a result, Charles Stump was promoted to the rank of major and assigned as S-3 officerin charge of “plans and training for the first regiment — with headquarters in Cincinnati.” In turn, Frank Marshall was promoted to captain and assumed command of Company K. Lt. Arthur Tremain (manager, Montgomery Ward) filled the vacant position occasioned by these promotions (SDN, June 25, 1943). For the remaining war
years, summer training was conducted at Camp Zaleski in Vinton County. This change in venue was necessary after Camp Perry had been taken over by units of the regular Army. Without missing a step, in the summer of 1944, Company K traveled south, rather than north, and underwent new training exercises in riot control, scouting, patrolling and “night bivouac.” When Company K was chosen that year to receive the “best in regiment” award — out of the 17 companies composing the 1st Regiment — it was proof that the men from Shelby County were particularly adept at State Guard training. Apparently the “large audience of city and county officials who filled the balcony and line the south wall of the armory” agreed with this assessment (SDN, March 31, 1944). By the late winter of 1945, the Allies were aggressively on the move in both the European and Pacific theaters of operations. Still, training and recruiting continued at the armory, with the Sidney-based unit — newly assigned to the 3rd Battalion of the 4th Infantry Regiment — now under the command of Capt. Clyde Millhoff. A check of the roster about this time showed that nearly 300 men, then serving in the Army, Navy, Air Force or Marine Corps, had received their first taste of military life through participation with Company K (SDN, Jan. 12, 1945). Beginning of the end In many respects, training camp during the summer of 1945 was the climactic experience of the Ohio State Guard during World War II. Its organizational chart now included six full regiments of personnel and an equipment list inclusive of a fleet of jeeps, ambulances, several armored scout cars, plus an adequate number of rifles, .30-caliber machine guns and poisongas masks. VJ Day (Victory against Japan) was celebrated throughout the nation on Aug. 15. Two weeks later, World War II came to an end with the signing of official documents aboard the battleship USS Missouri, anchored in Tokyo Bay. In Sidney, Company K stood tall at full strength and preparedness, but its services were no longer needed as the National Guard was being reinstated throughout the state and America began to prepare for peace. On Sept. 30, 1947, Company A in Lima became the final State Guard unit to be mustered out of service. The Sidney unit had already been disbanded. The Ohio State Guard was in existence for 65 months and eight days. During this period the men of Company K honorably and consistently met their duty by standing prepared to challenge any and all threats directed against the citizens of Shelby County by foreign agents. These “citizen soldiers” also served.

SALUTE TO VETERANS

Living enough for three lifetimes BY ED BALL, RMC (SW), USN Shelby County Veterans Service Officer Growing up as a youngster in a small farming community of Maplewood, I recall life being so much simpler during my early years. Our family did not have nearly the luxuries that life has to offer today. But in retrospect, we were probably happier than most find themselves even today. As I grew into adolescence, I found myself becoming more independent and wanting to make my own decisions. What I failed to realize were the repercussions that came with making wrong decisions along the way. One of the greatest decisions I made was joining the U.S. Navy. On Nov. 13, 1975, I signed up on the delayed-entry program, and with a high school diploma upon graduation I was accepted and reported to Recruit Training Center, Great Lakes, Ill., only two days after my Sidney High School graduation in June 1976. Our battalion, Company 144 excelled, graduating with honors as the flag company. I proudly carried the sports flag as team captain of our first-place rope-climbing team during our review before admirals, commanders, friends and family on the parade grounds. From that point on it was on to Radioman “A” School at Naval Training Center, San Diego, Calif., to be followed by my first duty station, the USS Constellation (CV-64) just across the bay in San Diego at Naval Air Station, Coronado. Reporting onboard in December 1976, I made two Western Pacific cruises, a temporary assignment to USS Bagley (FF-1063) and opted for a split sea tour onboard a guided missile cruiser, the USS William H. Standley (CG-32), homeported out of 32nd Street Naval Station, San Diego, in May 1979. Once again, I deployed for my third Western Pacific cruise in less than four years. It was during this cruise I experienced my first major operation that would make its mark in the history books. We departed from Subic Bay, the Philippines, shortly before Christmas. Operation Eagle Claw was conducted on April 24, 1980, in an attempt by
Ed Ball President Jimmy Carter to end the crisis for 52 American embassy hostages who eventually endured 444 days of captivity. Our ship was positioned 12 miles off the coast of Iran that morning. With two helicopter pilots unable to navigate a sandstorm, a crash ensued on the desert floor. This claimed the lives of eight servicemen and injured five more. I was supervisor of the watch in radio that early morning, and the secure voice lit up with a helicopter inbound with injured aboard, running low on fuel with the USS Nimitz 60 nautical miles out. Capt. Richards evacuated all personnel to the forward part of ship, to preclude injuries to personnel as the helo was too large for the small flight deck on a guided missile cruiser. A crash landing would have been imminent. Fortunately, the USS Nimitz, a nuclear-powered carrier, was able to get within range, allowing the helo to land on its flight deck as it was literally flying on fumes. Following this incident, the USS William H. Standley (CG-32) returned to its station in the North Arabian Sea and continued to provide PIRAZ/AAWC and ASW duties. We identified planes and ships and submarines that transited the area. Shortly thereafter, our No. 2 boiler suffered a flareback (explosion) when the boiler technician attempted to light the boiler following maintenance. This shook the entire ship; we thought we had been torpedoed during our lunch hour. Fire bricks from the boiler blew up the stacks, causing extensive damage, and the boiler was beyond repair at sea. We limped to the British isle of Diego Garcia in the middle of the Indian Ocean and pulled alongside USS Dixie AD14, a destroyer tender, for temporary repairs. This concluded our 121 days at sea with no port
visits. We then set sail for Naval Ship Repair Facility Philippines for much needed additional repairs approximately 3,600 miles away. I departed the ship and transferred to Naval Te l e c o m m u n i c a t i o n s Center, Subic Bay. It was here that I achieved “Sailor of the Year” for Naval Communications Station San Miguel and attended the Five Star Salute at the American Embassy Manila for various service members to honor their accomplishments throughout the Philippines. Additionally, I spent 21 days temporary duty onboard USS Thomas Edison (SSBN-610) under the leadership of Commander Fast, qualifying as “radioman of the watch” in 19 days. I returned ashore with a greater appreciation of the submarine force, but knew I didn’t want to make it my career. Following my tour in the Philippines in February 1985, I elected to further my knowledge in advanced “C” schools back at Naval Training Center, San Diego. I graduated third in my class at RM C7 School, and 12th out of 14 in Communications System Technical School (CSTS) that began with 26 students. These 24 weeks was followed by two weeks of Leadership Management and Education Training. I then received my orders to the USS Dubuque (LPD8) forward-deployed out of Commander Fleet Activities, Sasebo, Japan, for the next three years. After completing “C” schools, I took the chief’s test and made chief petty officer the first time up while onboard in August 1986. During the spring of 1988, Capt. Balian received his orders to prepare the USS Dubuque for minesweeper mother ship duties in the Persian Gulf, relieving the USS Trenton (LPD-14) for a scheduled six months. Stopping off at Green Beach in Okinawa, we embarked the MAGTF staff and their Marines to fulfill our mission. With a week of training in the Philippines, we departed Subic Bay destined for the Persian Gulf. On June 9, 1988, we encountered the Bolinao 52 with approximately 100 Vietnamese onboard stranded at sea — no food, no propulsion and no one to speak English. We left them with seven days’ provisions and
water with a calculation the ocean currents would take them into the Philippines within seven days. They were rescued off the coast of the Philippines 14 days later. News reports of murder and cannibalism onboard the Vietnamese boat drifting at sea filled the headlines shortly thereafter. If that wasn’t bad enough, we arrived in the Persian Gulf and on July 3, 1988, Capt. Rogers onboard the USS Vincennes (CG-49) authorized the shooting of the Iranian commercial airliner, IR655. Numerous attempts were made on various frequencies to include international distress frequencies, but to no avail. The aircraft was making its approach in a threatening flight path on the battle group and authorization was provided to launch missiles. Our electronic warfare tech stated emphatically the aircraft was squawking IFF, showing an Iranian F-14 enemy aircraft was inbound. As a result of our deployment to the Persian Gulf, we embarked Commander Mine War Group One, the commodore responsible for operations of the six mine sweepers attached to the Persian Gulf operations. Through their efforts, 128 mines were identified and detonated by explosive ordnance personnel within a sixmonth period. On Nov. 4, 1988, I departed the ship and flew commercially from Bahrain to Hong Kong, Manila, Clark Air Base, Kadena Air Base and Naha International to Nagasaki, Japan. Three days later I left Sasebo, Japan, for the last time, flew out of Osaka, Japan, to St. Paul, Minn., and landed at Dayton International Airport. Fortyfive days later I reported to Naval Communications Station Philippines in December 1988. While stationed there the highlights were on Sept. 26, 1989, during Vice President Dan Quayle’s visit to Clark Air Base, two Ford Aerospace contractors were assassinated by the New People’s Army outside of Capas Tarlac Naval Transmitter Facility a short distance away. As communications watch officer, I placed personnel in Threatcon Delta, armed, locked and loaded to the distaste of my commanding officer. (This order is only authorized by commanding officers directly). I fur-
ther qualified as an instructor for Total Quality Leadership and Total Quality Management. On Dec. 1, 1989, a coup d’état against President Aquino coincided with Exercise Balikatan at Fort Bonifacio. Rebels were holed up inside Inter Continental Hotel in Makati, Philippines, along with 23 of our service members who were locked in their rooms for safety. On July 16, 1990, a 7.6 earthquake devastated the Baguio City region. I watched as the ground appeared as twofoot waves rumbling through our homes in San Miguel. On June 15, 1991, the Mount Pinatubo volcano erupted as Typhoon Yunya spread the mountain debris over Subic and Cubi Point 26 miles away. Darkness enveloped the region out to 600 nautical miles as ships were making their approach to the Philippines for relief efforts. We saw daylight on June 17; foliage was devastated and sand filled all drainage areas, more than 120 warehouses were destroyed and 33 personnel lost their lives. Roads were impassible without four-wheel drive. As Philippines Facility Control Office Division officer, I directed the dismantling and discontinued all commercial lease communications agreements and equipment throughout the Philippines for Department of Defense and State Department military circuits and we closed the gates on Nov. 26, 1992, for the final time. Prior to my departure from the Philippines, I was notified of my selection as the “Best” Facility Control Office, “Best” Microwave Relay Facility and “Best” Technical Control Facility throughout the Pacific Ocean area by Defense Information Systems Agency Pacific and Capt. James Sears was presented the DISA PAC Hawaii Commander’s Trophy Award. Returning to the states, I reported onboard Commander Third Fleet staff as their leading chief petty officer in Tech Control. Embarked onboard USS Coronado (AGF-11), we used staff and ship’s company communications personnel to provide training throughout the Third Fleet Area of Responsibility. Research and development work was performed in SHF, ELF,
secure voice, secure broadband routers and various other media. It was during this time that Operation Tailhook ruined the careers of many pilots. Within the first year the Navy transitioned to allowing females to serve aboard naval ships. All the fears subsided as most women soon became some of our best workers onboard. Leaving after only two years of staff duty, it was during this time frame I realized that my career was soon coming to an end. With only two years left until my 20year mark, I had a decision to make: Either retire or continue on. It was to be my last tour, and I was able to select the Defense Information Systems Agency Field Office in Guam for my final two years of duty. We provided IG inspections on all DOD communications facilities in Guam, Singapore, New Zealand, Australia and Diego Garcia. When I wasn’t performing IG inspections, I was working on various reports, tracking equipment issues, planning and implementation of networks or attending quarterly meetings at DISA PAC in Schofield Barracks, Hawaii, as acting director, a commanbillet, for a der’s six-month period. We hosted Brig. Gen. Albert J. Edmonds of Defense Information Systems Agency in Washington, D.C., and his staff during a C4I War Fighters Defense Telecommunications Conference for Southwest Pacific Region area commanders, resulting in numerous accolades. But all good things must come to an end. The Navy was a fantastic experience, one that I shall never forget. For the accumulation of all accomplishments our over 20 years, by being surrounded by some fantastic men and women from all walks of life — officer and enlisted — who were fantastic communicators in their own right, I was presented with the Defense Meritorious Service Medal during retirement by ommander Will Anderson. All this was driven by a comment made by a teacher in Sidney High School, of whom I’m eternally grateful, stating: “You’ll never amount to anything unless you study!” Needless to say I probably studied after graduation, but truly, “education is the key to success!”
Stamp on driver’s license can get veterans discounts driver’s license and/or ID card recognizes the service of our military men, women and veterans,” said Ohio Department of Public Safety Director Thomas Charles. “We are proud to offer this no-cost way of recognizing those who have served.” One of the advantages of this program is that the specially labeled license may be honored by Ohio merchants who give military members or veterans a discount. Whether a discount is granted, however, is solely dependent upon
each individual retailer’s policy. A number of retailers in Ohio will offer a military or veterans discount, either periodically during major holidays, or at all times. Retailers generally require that some form of photo ID is produced to receive the discount, either a current military active-duty or retired ID card, an ID from the National Guard or Reserve or an ID showing enrollment in health care from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). But veterans who served limited
terms of service are generally not issued such documentation. The “Armed Forces” stamp, which has been in existence since December 2009, enables these veterans to have a photo ID as a sign of their service. To be eligible to receive the stamp, at no extra cost, veterans must provide to the Bureau of Motor Vehicles a copy of their DD 214 or DD 215 when they renew their driver’s license or military ID. Other forms of identification acceptable to receive the

stamp include a VA ID, a current military ID, a leave and earnings statement or a copy of orders. “I strongly encourage all veterans to get the ‘Armed Forces’ stamp when they renew their license,” said Ohio Department of Veterans Services Director Tom Moe. “Our department’s principal goal is to connect veterans to their benefits, and this will help us identify our veterans while possibly providing them with a very helpful benefit.” The directors of Pub-
lic Safety and Veterans Services emphasized that a military or veterans discount is not available from all retailers, or if so, perhaps not yearround. Whether a retailer provides a discount or accepts the “Armed Forces” stamp as proof of service to receive a discount is up to the policy for each individual retailer. However, the minimal time and effort expended to obtain the “Armed Forces” stamp, at no additional cost, could add up to real money saved next time they shop.

As soon as he learned any man I’ve ever known, yet even he struggled of the situation, the cap-

Pop sent a message back via the ship’s chaplain: Yes, the plane could fly, but all that blood would smell horribly in the tropical heat. Pop recommended confirming the identity of the dead man, administering last rites, then burying the man at sea in the plane in which he had given his life for his country. The captain signaled “thumbs-up” from the bridge, and so the plane became a coffin that was pushed off the flight deck into the Pacific. Pop had seen much death and destruction in the war, but he couldn’t shake the memory of this particularly vivid incident. Many times I had sat silently while Pop retold the story, doing my best to be a supportive listener. One night, while listening to this story for the

umpteenth time, it dawned on me that Pop was haunted by that horrific image, and it seemed right to try to ease his torment. I decided to reason with him the way he had reasoned with me when I was growing up. “Pop,” I said, “that belly gunner was no more dead than all the other soldiers and sailors killed in the war, and his death may have been more merciful than most, because it happened before he knew what hit him.” My statements hit home. Pop snapped out of his dreamy, far off, reverie. His eyes took on a clear, focused look. “I suppose that’s so,” he acknowledged, and he then turned the conversation to less intense subjects. I sat with Pop during many more nights when he drank and reminisced before his passing a year later. Never again did he tell that story. That
nightmarish memory had ceased to haunt him. He had finally processed it and moved on. Every veteran close to me has wrestled with disturbing memories to varying degrees. In some cases, it took years, even decades, before they were ready or able to talk about the traumatic events that have haunted them. Our veterans have far more scars than meet the eye. For most of them, thank God, the love of their families, their many happy memories, and their personal courage to push ahead with satisfying and productive lives enable them to cope with the ugly memories of war. How can we help them? That isn’t an easy question, but as we pause to recognize and honor their service to our country on Veterans Day, let us resolve to do what we can. Let us be

If they prefer not to talk about their military service and are getting on with their lives, then let us respect their wishes and let sleeping dogs lie. If their military memories continue to hurt them today, perhaps we need to help them find professional help. If nothing else, let us look for opportunities to express our gratitude for their sacrifices and pray that each precious one of them may find peace from haunting memories. Dr. Mark W.

From Page 1 wasn’t yet at the halfway point and much had to be accomplished before victory could be proclaimed. Tomorrow’s and next month’s headlines were inconceivable: the invasion of Italy and the fall of the Mussolini reign, the horror of DDay on the beaches of Normandy, the disappointment of Operation Market-Garden and the death-quagmire of the Bulge. Each of these military operations had to be endured and even then the long and frightful road to Tokyo had to be trod, one island at a time, from Tarawa to the Philippines, to Okinawa and to Iwo Jima. Far removed from the direct effects of war, my family stepped up and did what they could for the effort. In spite of warnings, Sidney was never bombed or infiltrated by enemy spies, although the FBI rounded up a half dozen or so in the Dayton area, searched their living quarters and removed several containers of “Nazi material.” In preparedness for a real attack, however, my father did join the Civilian Defense Corps — as I recall either as an Air Raid Warden or a member of the First Aid contingent. Mother fought the battle of the rationcoupons in the kitchen and at the market, and of course, saved animal fat. Although I was but 10 years of age at the time, I, too, did my part. As a newsboy I delivered the war news although I don’t remember any of the headlines I distributed on a seven-day basis. On several occasions, as a member of Boy Scout Troop 95, I helped collect tied-up bundles of newpapers and magazines — a
scrap drive program that we were told was part of a nationwide “Zap the Jap” movement. I guess those Saturday afternoon exercises were successful, because I was one of many boys awarded the Eisenhower Waste Paper “War Service 1945” medial — for valiant effort. And then there was the family Victory Garden. Remember, fresh vegetables and fruits were on the ration list, but seeds for such foods could be readily obtained at the neighborhood grocery, and sweat equity was not rationed. My task, along with that of my sister, was to keep the weeds under control from around the bean, carrot, tomato, rhubarb and radish plants. In spite of the hot, humid and bug-ridden conditions of that garden, we were happy to do our part, for in so doing we were informed we were helping to “Ax the Axis.” Dad bicycled to work, Mom walked to town and throughout the county individuals continued to share the difficulties of a wartime homefront. In retrospect, such hardships were not overly difficult, but bundled together into a single package they did necessitate a change in lifestyle. Sometimes, before

dropping off to sleep, the homefront American would count up the disruptions and inconveniences of the day and feel a tingle of annoyance.

“suicide air raids on the United States in an attempt to force back planes already sent to Europe for use in strategic air warfare.” • The U.S. Employment Service reports that 2,311 workers have been replaced in wartime manufacturing jobs in Shelby County during the month of June, an action necessitated by selective service withdrawals. Fifty percent of these replacements are women. • A search party has found a propeller that broke loose from a “heavy bomber” engaged in an experimental altitude test at 27,000 feet over Sidney deeply embedded in the ground near Tawawa Lake. The bomber is safely returned to Wright Field, Dayton, its home base. • A surprise air raid alert held throughout the greater Dayton area is declared “only partially successful” in Shelby County due to confusion generated by an “odd sequence of signals.” • The Ohio State Council of Defense warns of the possibility “the Nazis may employ long-range bombers, fully capable of flying to the United States with ‘pay loads’ to halt the flow of vital war material to Allied nations.” It states these planes could “fly as far west as Kansas City and will still have enough fuel to make the return trip across the Atlantic Ocean.” • Tuition-free War Training classes sponsored by the U.S. government through Ohio Northern University are open for enrollment with instruction to be given at Sidney High School.

With this alert, the Fair Credit Reporting Act requires creditors and businesses to verify identities before issuing or granting credit.
