Police seize slum Shantytown had been ruled by drug gang

BY BRADLEY BROOKS Associated Press RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — More than 3,000 police and soldiers backed by armored personnel carriers raced into Brazil’s biggest slum before dawn Sunday, quickly gaining control of a shantytown ruled for decades by a heavily armed drug gang.

The takeover of the Rocinha neighborhood was

the most ambitious operation yet in an effort to increase security before Rio hosts the final matches of the 2014 World Cup and the 2016 Olympics. Officials are counting on those events to signal Brazil’s arrival as a global economic, political and cultural power.

The head of state security and chief architect of Rio’s shantytown pacification program, Jose Mariano Beltrame,

called the operation a major success and a big step toward breaking drug traffickers’ hold on key parts of Rio. “We have taken over areas that for 30 or 40 years were in the hands of … a parallel power,” he said. “This is a very large area. It’s one of the biggest shantytowns in the Americas if not the world.

We’re returning dignity and territory to people.”

The action in Rocinha is

WASHINGTON (AP) — Putting a traditional turkey dinner on the table is going to be pricier this Thanksgiving.

The American Farm Bureau Federation reported Thursday that a meal with turkey and all the trimmings will cost about 13 percent more this year.

The trade group estimates a classic meal for 10 will cost $49.20 on average. That is $5.73 more than last year’s $43.47 average.

The meal will cost less than $5 a person, but it’s still much more expensive than in years past. The jump results from food makers and grocers raising their prices to cover higher commodity costs.

Nearly everything from cranberries to pumpkin pie is pricier this year, but the biggest hike is for the main course: A 16-pound turkey See MEAL/Page 3A

BY TAMARA LUSH Associated Press ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — For the seasoned detectives who investigated the murders of Joan Rogers and her teenage daughters Christe and Michelle in 1989, the case had a profound effect on the rest of their lives.

Cindra Leedy never crosses the bridges spanning Tampa Bay without thinking of the family and how their lives ended in a watery grave. Glen Moore recalls investigating the toughest case of his life, one that tested his patience and his nerves. JJ Geoghegan is haunted by the possibility that Oba Chandler, the man convicted of killing the trio, could have slain others and will be executed Tuesday without ever facing justice for unsolved slayings.

“He’s finally going to pay the ultimate price,” said Ge-

oghegan, a retired investigator. “I have no pity on him. It’s been 18 years since he was convicted, and I’ve been waiting for this. If they would let me, I’d sit in on the execution.”

Chandler is scheduled to die by lethal injection at the Florida State Prison on Tuesday afternoon. The 65-yearold has sat on death row for 17 years following his 1994 triple homicide conviction.

Rogers, 36, and her 14 and 17-year-old daughters were from the small farming community of Wilshire, Ohio.

They were in Florida on their first vacation — a dream vacation — and were on their way home from Disney World when they met Chandler.

“He was a real charmer,” said Geoghegan, who was a St. Petersburg Police detective at the time. “Back then, he was a good looking man and a slick talker. He was a Ted Bundy, is what he was.” Ge-

oghegan was referring to one of the most notorious serial killers in U.S history, who may have murdered 30 or more women in several states before Florida executed him in 1989.

On June 1, 1989, Rogers and her daughters were in the Tampa area and stopped to ask Chandler for directions to their motel. The three disappeared that evening.

Three days later, the Rogers’ bodies were found in Tampa Bay. They were stripped from the waist down, bound with duct tape and yellow rope. Concrete blocks were tied to ropes around their necks. Yet the bodies floated to the surface.

The case was a mystery from the beginning: It took police a week to identify the bodies and by then, Rogers’ husband (and the girls’ father), who had stayed behind in Ohio, had reported them missing.

The motel manager where the Rogers family had been staying contacted police after maids noticed no one had been in the room for a week.

Authorities then found Rogers’ car abandoned beside a boat ramp on a causeway that connects Tampa and Pinellas County.

It was in Rogers’ car that police found the crucial piece of evidence — but investigators didn’t know that until years later.

By 1990, the case had turned cold. No arrests, no suspects.

Then-Detective Moore of the St. Petersburg Police Department was transferred to the homicide squad as one of two supervisors.

“I began to ask questions about the Rogers case,” he said. “(Others in the department) really thought there was nothing else to do. I just couldn’t believe there was See KILLER/Page 3A

The group surveyed prices in stores nationwide. But grocers often discount key items as the holiday approaches and that could reduce the cost of Thanksgiving dinner.

John Anderson, senior economist for the Farm Bureau, said it’s important to remember that Americans spend a smaller percentage of their income on food than most people around the world.

“Given what is going on in the economy, higher prices on anything are not welcome,” Anderson said. “(But) it does not have the same impact as food prices in other parts of the world do. We are fortunate in that sense.”

BOE updated on planned expenditures ANNA — During the Anna Board of Education’s November meeting, Treasurer Dennis Raberding led discussion with the superintendent and board reviewing members past, current and future planned expenditures from the permanent improvement fund.

In past years the school received about $325,000 annually for the upkeep and improvement of buildings and grounds. In 2010, half the money came from the state in the form of reimbursement for the loss of tangible personal property.

Raderding said the “hold harmless” money, about $120,000 in 2011, is scheduled to be phased out over the next two years. The board also reviewed the need to replace the elementary school roof and initial plans for the project were discussed.

Two principal reports during the meeting refirst-quarter viewed grades, attendance and discipline at each local school. Elementary Principal John Holtzapple discussed the policy for the minimum age requirement for kindergarten entrance and asked the board to consider revising the policy by changing the earliest entry age for children who turn 5 from Sept. 30 to Aug 1.

The board agreed to consider the proposed revision next month. Additionally, both principals updated the board about student assemblies and activities planned for Veterans Day. The board approved the eighth-grade trip to Washington, D.C., in 2012 and awarded supplemental contracts to coaches of spring sports.

The next regular board meeting is scheduled Dec. 12.

nothing left to do. I asked if I could review it with six people that I hand-picked that were not from within the homicide squad.”

The six investigators — coming from local, regional and state agencies — spent two weeks looking at every piece of evidence. Moore said they would sit at a big table, open the evidence boxes, and pass each piece of paper, each item, around the table.

One of those items was a seemingly innocuous brochure that had been found in Rogers’ car. It was the kind of brochure that Florida tourists pick up at rest stops: it touted the beauty of Clearwater Beach and had a map.

There was writing on the brochure, the detectives noted.

“As it turned out, that little piece of paper that had some scribbling on it turned out to be extremely important in the whole investigation,” Moore said.

The brochure had never been checked for fingerprints. The team sent it off for processing and discovered a partial palm print that didn’t belong to Rogers or her daughters.

As months wore on, Moore was under pres-

From Page 1 sure to make an arrest or add the murders, once again, to the cold case file. Someone then suggested an unusual idea: ask the public for help.

“We might as well go for broke,” Moore said he thought at the time.

The detectives put the handwriting on a billboard to see if anyone recognized it. In particular, the murderer’s “R’s” and “Y’s” had a distinctive look.

“WHO KILLED THE ROGERS FAMILY?” the billboard read.

One of Chandler’s neighbors recognized the writing and called authorities; Chandler, who owned an aluminum company, had done work for the neighbor and had written a contract with her.

Another of Chandler’s former neighbors and a secretary at the police department also noticed that Chandler looked suspiciously similar to a composite sketch of a suspect wanted in a rape — an unsolved assault of a Canadian woman aboard a boat in Tampa Bay. Chandler was arrested — he and his family were living across the state in Daytona Beach, having just moved from Tampa.

Algae takes toll on lake’s fish CLINTON PORT (AP) — Researchers who study Lake Erie think toxic algae blooms that have fouled the water in recent years will continue to cause drops in the number of walleye and perch in the lake.

That could deal a big economic blow to northern Ohio towns along Lake Erie that depend on tourists who come to catch the prized sport fish.

Invasive species like the white perch and other fish that thrive in warmer water already are growing in numbers, said Roger Knight, administrator of the Lake Erie Fisheries Program within the Ohio Department of Natural Resources.

Walleye and perch will suffer as a result, he told The News-Herald of Port Clinton.

“We’re probably not going to lose them, but they’ll drop in abundance,” he said. “The fish have been through this before.”

A report released by the National Wildlife Federation in October blamed both excessive nutrients and invasive mussels that rob fish of food for the sharp dropoff in Great Lakes fish populations.

The algae bloom this summer in Lake Erie, the shallowest and warmest of the lakes, was worse this summer than any time in recorded history, the report said.

The lake suffered from similar algal outbreaks in the late 1960s and early ’70s until new environmental regulations led to a cleaner lake.

“Honestly, I didn’t think that was going to be possible,” said Jeff Reutter, Ohio Sea Grant program director. “But we did it, and the lake responded by becoming the walleye capital of the world.”

He said the lake can recover again if efforts are made to reduce how much phosphorus flows from agricultural runoff and sewer-treatment plants.

“The amount of reduction that we need now is similar to what we needed in the ’70s,” he said.

“If you figure if nothing changes, next year will be worse than last year,” he said. “A lot of us are hoping that this year was an anomaly.”

Steve Davis, a Natural Resources Conservation Service watershed specialist, said it won’t be easy.

“It’s going to take a lot of work to reduce it.

Most of the agricultural community is trying to do a good job,” he said.

Farmers are using new methods — such as using a spreader that and skips areas that already have enough fertilizer — to cut down how much phosphorus runs into the lake and its tributaries, Davis said.

Eye-blink testimony murder trial begins CINCINNATI (AP) — A dying man’s videotaped eye blinks, which prosecutors say identified his killer, will be a major part of the testimony at the suspect’s trial beginning Monday in Cincinnati.

Ricardo Woods, 33, of Cincinnati, is charged with murdering David Chandler last year. Police interviewed Chandler while he was in the hospital, hooked up to a ventilator and paralyzed after being shot Oct. 28, 2010, in the head and neck. Hamilton County prosecutors have said Chandler identified Woods in a photo through a series of eye blinks during a hospital interview.

Chandler, 35, died about two weeks later.

Judge Beth Myers of Hamilton County Common Pleas Court ruled in September that jurors will be allowed to see the video of Chandler’s blinking eyes despite a defense argument that the blinks weren’t AP Photo/The Dayton Daily News, Peter Wine conclusive and should not be allowed in evidence.

After reviewing the video, Myers said she found plosion on Wayne Drive, Saturday in Fairborn. An official says a house exthe identification “reliable” and said that it wasn’t ploded in western Ohio, leaving six people injured and one man was killed. At made by routine involuntary eye blinking, but by least four of the injured are children. pronounced, exaggerated eye movements.

Man killed in Fairborn Shy kids practice reading to dogs house explosion 4 children injured, 2 men hurt FAIRBORN (AP) — The body of a 75-yearold man was found Sunday after he was killed in a house explosion in western Ohio that injured six others, including four children, and neighbors’ damaged homes, authorities said.

The explosion sent debris and the victims into the yard, and a neighbor reported seeing a baby burned, bloodied and covered in glass.

Work was being done on the duplex’s water line when the gas line was struck, causing the explosion Saturday, Fairborn Fire Marshal Carl Day said.

A 13-year-old was transferred in critical condition to Shriner’s Hospital for Children, one of about four hospitals in the country specializing in pediatric burns, said spokeswoman Louise Holker.

Two men also were injured. Their conditions were not given.

The 1-year-old baby was in fair condition and a 5-year-old was in good condition Sunday morning, a spokesman for Dayton Children’s Medical Center said. A third child, whose age wasn’t available, was treated and released Saturday.

The blast was one of three in the Midwest

over the weekend. Another in Benton Township in southwestern Michigan killed two people late Saturday and injured four others. Its cause wasn’t immediately known, but relatives say several oxygen tanks were inside. And an explosion in Chicago on Sunday morning flattened one home, scorched others and sent two people to the hospital with serious burns.

Fire officials and utilities were investigating.

A woman who lived about 100 yards from the Ohio home that exploded, Cybil Poole, told the Dayton Daily News that the blast felt like a car hitting it. She said she saw the infant lying in the yard and that some of the other victims were still on fire.

“It was horrible. It was like a movie scene.

You see this huge fireball and you see people come out of it on fire,” she said.

Another neighbor, Paula Corelli, told the newspaper that she was almost hit by a flying piece of wood from the explosion. When she saw two adults running down the sidewalk carrying three bloodied children, she offered to take them while the adults returned to the scene.

“Medics told me to keep them awake because they had head injuries, so we sang to them, me and another woman,” Corelli said.

“And we didn’t let them look back. It was still on fire and there was a lot of blood.”

Some of the victims were airlifted to hospitals.

Windows shattered on homes on both sides of the destroyed house.

Debris could be seen a block away, the Dayton Daily News reported.

The gas was turned off to the house that exploded, Day said. Several others in the neighborhood were evacuated as a precaution, but some residents were allowed to return hours later.

Kelley, a Chase spokeswoman for Vectren Corp., said it hasn’t been confirmed that there was a gas leak and the company would likely conduct its own investigation into the cause of the explosion.

PORTSMOUTH (AP) — To help shy students confront their fear of public reading, an Ohio school is bringing in a different kind of audience.

The Portsmouth Daily Times reports the Portsmouth West Elementary is having students read to therapy dogs to help them get over nervousness over reading in public.

Students in grades 2 through 4 read to Little Bear, an English mastiff who dons comically-oversized sunglasses. After school program coordinator Chris Rapp says it helps children with their fluency skills.

He says the program drew so many students last week teachers had to take some out of the classroom and make them take turns.

New Jersey-based Therapy Dogs International provides dogs and handler for the Tail Waggin’ Tutors program.

Government website gets high marks DAYTON (AP) — Ohio government websites rank high for making public information available to citizens, according to a report by a national protransparency group.

The Dayton Daily News reports that the Sunshine Review gave Ohio an overall grade of “B” for making information available to the public on government and school district websites.

Websites are scored based on 10 items the nonprofit says are important for state, county, city or school districts to have. Those include records on budgets, meetings, lobbying, financial audits, contracts, academic performance, public records and taxes.

Sunshine Review president Michael Barnhart says Ohio ranked in the top three of 16 states surveyed.

NATION/WORLD BRIEFLY

New gov’t to be formed ROME (AP) — Economist Mario Monti accepted the monumental task Sunday of trying to form a new government that can rescue Italy from financial ruin, expressing confidence that the nation can beat the crisis if its people pull together.

His selection came a day after Silvio Berlusconi reluctantly resigned as premier, bowing out after world markets pummeled Italy’s borrowing ability, reflecting a loss of faith in the 75-year-old media mogul’s leadership. Berlusconi quit after the Italian parliament approved new reform measures demanded by the European Union and central bank officials — but even those are not considered enough to right Italy’s ailing economy.

Veterans gets medals SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — More than six decades after being freed from a Japanese prisoner of war camp, a Utah veteran was compelled to relive the horrors and triumphs of his World War II experience this month when he received a mysterious package containing seven military medals, including the Distinguished Service Cross and Silver Star.

The medals have become a source of pride for retired Army Capt. Tom Harrison, 93, since they arrived in a box with nothing more than a packing slip from a logistics center in Philadelphia on Nov. 4, which happened to be his 65th wedding anniversary. But they have also refreshed painful memories of the Bataan Death March, POW camps and the comrades he lost during the war or in the years since.

Drought steals tree ATLANTA (AP) — It’s the Drought That Stole Christmas.

Macy’s at Atlanta’s Lenox Mall must cut down a new Christmas tree after the 60-foot white pine selected for the holidays snapped while being hoisted atop the department store Sunday morning. Melissa Goff with Macy’s said the store usually selects its tree from a Georgia forest, but drought conditions have made it difficult to find a healthy tree this year.

She said the 11,000pound tree was from Douglas County. She said a backup tree has been selected and will be brought in this week.

The tree will be decorated between now and Thanksgiving Day, when the store will hold a lighting ceremony, a 63-year tradition.

OUT OF THE BLUE

Boy born at 11:11 on 11-11-11 MOUNT HOLLY, New Jersey (AP) — Jacob Anthony Saydeh won't have any trouble remembering precisely when he was born.

A U.S. hospital says Jacob entered the world at 11:11 a.m. on Friday — 1111-11.

And to make the Veterans Day birth even more remarkable, the boy’s mother is an Air Force veteran and his father is serving in the Air Force.

It’s the second child for Staff Sgt. Christopher Saydeh and his wife, Danielle.

They are a third-generation military family.

Syria calls for summit

BY ZEINA KARAM Associated Press BEIRUT (AP) — Syria’s embattled regime called for an urgent Arab summit as it faced growing isolation Sunday, not only by the West but by its neighbors, over its bloody crackdown against an eightmonth uprising.

The crisis raised regional tensions, with Turkey sending a plane to evacuate nonessential personnel after a night of attacks on several embassies

by Syrian government supporters angry over the Arab League decision Saturday to suspend their country’s membership.

The 22-member bloc’s rare, near-unanimous vote — only Lebanon, Yemen and Syria were opposed — put Damascus in direct confrontation with other Arab powers, including Qatar and Saudi Arabia, who were pushing for the

POLICE dominated by the Friends of Friends drug gang.

Both slums sit between two of Rio’s richest neighborhoods, and Rocinha’s ramshackle homes climb a mountainside covered in Atlantic rain forest.

Police methodically cleared alleys and streets on their way up steep, winding roads.

Huey helicopters swarmed over the slum, crisscrossing the hill and flying low over the jungle surrounding the slum, as police hunted down suspects who might have fled into the forest. By evening, police said they made just four arrests.

People peeked from their windows and stared as armored personnel carriers roared up streets. Rifle-toting officers from the BOPE police unit, made famous by two “Elite Squad” films, trained their weapons down narrow corridors.

Down a side alleyway, police discovered a house they said belonged to the No. 2 gang leader, Sandro Luiz de Paula Amorim, known as “Peixe,” who was captured by police a few days earlier when they encircled Rocinha with roadblocks.

In stark contrast to the impoverished shacks around it, Amorim’s three-story home was outfitted with a large whirlpool bath, swimming pool, huge aquarium, high definition TV and just one book: the ancient Chinese military text “Art of War.” One resident applauded the police invasion. “Tell the world we’re not all drug traffickers!

suspension. The vote constituted a major boost for the Syrian opposition.

Tens of thousands of government supporters poured into the streets of Damascus and other cities, the turnout helped by the government’s closing of businesses and schools so that people could take part.

“You Arab leaders are the tails of Obama,” read a banner held at a huge pro-regime rally in Damascus accusing the Arab League of bowing to pressure from the U.S. Violence continued elsewhere, with activists reporting at least 14 people killed in shootings by security forces in several parts of the country.

The British-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said seven of the deaths occurred in Hama when security forces fired on opposition protesters who infiltrated a progovernment rally.

Syria’s call for an Arab summit to discuss the country’s spiraling political unrest was seen as another possible bid by President Bashar Assad to buy time as he faces snowballing punitive action over a crackdown that the U.N. estimates has killed more than 3,500 people since mid-March.

In a thinly veiled warning, the government said it was calling for the meeting “because the fallout from the Syrian crisis could harm regional security” — an apparent effort to play on fears that Assad’s ouster would spread chaos around the Middle East.

But in a significant concession, Syria also invited Arab League officials to visit before the membership suspension is scheduled to take effect on Wednesday, and said they could bring any civilian or military observers they deem appropriate to oversee implementation of an Arab

League plan for ending the bloodshed.

The Syrian government is usually loath to accept anything resembling foreign intervention, and the invitation signaled the government’s alarm over the Arab action.

Arab League officials did not immediately respond to the request for an emergency summit. Arab League Secretary General Nabil Elaraby, on a visit to Libya, demanded immediate implementation of the peace plan. The Nov. 2 plan called on Syria to halt attacks on protesters, pull tanks out of cities and hold talks with the opposition. Syria signed on to the plan, but nothing has changed on the ground.

In voting for the suspension, the Arab League said it would meet again Wednesday in the Moroccan capital of Rabat to reconsider the decision, giving Assad some time to take action to prevent it.

From Page 1 We’re working people and now they’re coming to liberate us,” a man yelled as police rolled by.

Marisa Costa da Silva, 54, who runs a small candy shop at the base of the slum, was less sure. “Lord knows if there will be war or peace, or even if things will be better if police take this slum,” she said.

“We’ve heard they’ve been abusive to slum residents in other places they’ve taken. I have no idea what to expect.”

Rocinha’s location has made it one of the most lucrative and largest drug distribution points in the city.

“Rocinha is one of the most strategically important points for police to control in Rio de Janeiro,” said Paulo Storani, a security consultant and former captain in the elite BOPE police unit leading the invasion.

“The pacification of Rocinha means that authorities have closed a security loop around the areas that will host most of the Olympic and World Cup activities.”

Some estimates say the Friends of Friends gang brings in more than $50 million in drug sales annually in Rocinha and Vidigal alone. Much of the drugs are sold to tourists staying in the posh beach neighborhoods of Leblon, Ipanema and Copacabana and to middle- and upper-class Brazilians who live there.

“This action is a huge blow to the structure of drug trafficking in Rio de Janeiro and against the second-largest drug faction,” Storani said.

Elite police units backed by armored military vehicles and helicopters invaded Rocinha, the largest slum in this seaside Olympic city early Sunday. It’s the most ambitious attempt yet to bring security to a town long known for its violence. The action is part of a policing program aiming to drive violent and heavily armed drug gangs out of Rio’s slums, where the traffickers have ruled for decades.

CANADIAN PRIME Minister Stephen Harper (left) talks with U.S. President Barack Obama following the first plenary session of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit Sunday in Kapolei, Hawaii.

Obama caps summit diplomacy KAPOLEI, Hawaii (AP) — President Barack Obama on Sunday tied the hopes of a faster American economic recovery to the booming Pacific Rim region, saying “we’re not going to be able to put our folks back to work” unless the Asia-Pacific region is successful as an engine for the world.

“We consider it a top priority,” Obama said of the region where his administration is pouring in time and political capital to expand exports and business ties.

The president spoke as he dove into a day of summit diplomacy, proudly using his home state of Hawaii as the

American foothold to the Pacific. He gathered with leaders of 20 other nations of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum, whose nations span from Chile to China and account for roughly half the world’s trade and economic output.

In the midst of a hard reelection bid, Obama kept his message on jobs, even as he privately lobbied for help on containing the Iranian nuclear threat.

He was to cap the summit with a solo news conference in which topics on and off his scripted agenda were likely to emerge.

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — In a tense escalation of the Occupy Portland protest, police in riot gear Sunday surrounded demonstrators in a downtown park area after hundreds of people defied the mayor’s order to leave the park by midnight.

By early afternoon, officers had mostly surrounded the camp where the protesters were holding a “general assembly” meeting to discuss their next moves following the eviction order.

Some officers used nightsticks to push people away from the encampment and used loudspeakers to warn that anyone who resisted risked arrest and “may also be subject to chemical agents and impact weapons.”

Demonstrators chanted “we are a peaceful protest.”

Police could be seen carrying at least one protester away from the park. Another man was taken away on a stretcher; he was alert and talking to paramedics, and raised a peace sign to fellow protesters, who responded with cheers. There was no immediate word on arrests.

“We were talking about what we were going to do and then they just started hitting people. Seems like a waste of

resources to me,” protester Mike Swain, 27, told The Associated Press.

Choya Adkison, 30, said police moved in after giving demonstrators a false sense of calm. They thought they had time to rest, relax and regroup, she said “Camp was completely vulnerable, completely defenseless” when police moved in, she said. “I’m disappointed that they created a sense of trust by walking away and then completely trampled it.”

Mayor Sam Adams had ordered the camp shut down Saturday at midnight, citing unhealthy conditions and the encampment’s attraction of drug users and thieves.

The anti-Wall Street protesters and their supporters had flooded the park area even as authorities in other cities stepped up pressure against demonstrators, arresting dozens of people.

At one point overnight, the Portland crowd swelled to thousands. As dawn arrived, riot police had retreated and most of the crowds had gone home, but protesters who have been at the two parks since Oct. 6 were still there.

Mary Knapke spoke at the Shelby County Genealogical Society meeting recently about one of her family’s ancestors, Liwwat Boke, who lived from 1807 to 1882.

Boke and her husband, Nast (Knapke) Boke, emigrated from Germany where he was a farm laborer. In 1835, Mercer County was being settled and land was being sold for $1.25 an acre.

Liwwat, which is translated “Elizabeth,” was born on a bowerschatz, which is a large farm. She attended school at the age of 4. When she

She was taught to weave but in 1830, when the weaving machine was invented, the weavers couldn’t compete against the speed of the new machine and were put out of work, Knapke reported.

Liwwat and Nast Boke wanted to get married but were denied permission from the government because they didn’t own any land. They planned to leave for America and Li-

wwat started making a list of items that they would need to their new homeland. Nast left in 1833 for America to find a place for them to live and Liwwat followed in 1835.

Life on the ship to America was very hard and the crossing lasted for two months. Once she was in America, she traveled with a group of 31 people into Ohio to St. John, which is now called Maria Stein. The area was heavily forested when she arrived and they built a lean-to until a house could be constructed. She and Nast managed to clear four acres in 10 months. The men would go deer hunting at night and would bring back 20 deer a night. They would take a boat and have a lighted candle while they followed the deer and the deer would stop and stare at the light. Some of the staples that they had were hard tack, corn mush and honey. Sometimes a peddler that they called the pingle pangle man, named from the sound that he made carrying pots and pans, would stop by and they could purchase or barter

with him for their needs.

They bought one cow, some pigs and then purchased a team of horses from Sidney. One time, the horses got homesick and ran away. They had to travel back to Sidney to retrieve them, Knapke said.

In the spring, bears would be a problem, but their hides were very valuable and made good door coverings.

Liwwat planted 44 fruit trees. They used tree stumps for fence posts. A fence builder would cost $20 a month. The men had to work one day a month for Marion Township to build bridges and clear roads.

Liwwat had studied to become a midwife while she was in Germany, and she was concerned that people weren’t cleansing.

She made soap and the white pearl ash which made very white soap.

The Knapke family learned of the lives of Liwwat and Nast from a diary that Liwwat kept during her lifetime, Knapke said. Liwwat also drew illustrations of the people, places and happenings of her life.

Finally, the proposal includes a “Know Before You Owe” project led by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau — which if confirmed by the U.S. Senate would be headed up by former Ohio Attorney General Rich Cordray — to help students better understand their student aid options and easily compare aid packages between colleges and universities. These efforts will help prevent future generations of Americans from being saddled with unsustainable debt burdens.

Every qualified, hardworking student should have the opportunity to earn a college education. But, with the average in-state tuition at Ohio colleges and universities hovering around $34,300, we have a responsibility to help make certain that higher education is available to talented students with limited financial means.

We can make access to higher education affordable for all Ohioans — it’s only fair that every American has an opportunity to achieve the American dream.

When I discovered they were missing at 4:30 a.m., I called the sheriff’s office. Within 10 to 15 minutes, two deputies were at our residence. They took the report and sent it out to other law enforcement agencies.

Later, more deputies came to check for more evidence. All of the deputies and Sheriff Lenhart were very courteous and comforting to us.

We are thankful that we have such a good and professional sheriff’s department in Shelby County.

LOCAL NEWS

Sidney Daily News, Monday, November 14, 2011

Report follows study on Catholic schools More than 50 supporters of Catholic schools gathered recently at Lehman Catholic High School to hear a presentation on the yearlong study of Catholic schools in the Archdiocese of Cincinnati.

Dr. James Rigg, director of Educational Services and Superintendent for Catholic Schools, provided an overview on the more than 500-page study just released.

“Lighting the Way: A Vision for Catholic School Education” was the result of a yearlong study conducted by ACE Consulting, a part of the University of Notre Dame.

The research conducted to develop the report is the first step in a two-year process initiated by Cincinnati Archbishop Dennis Schnurr to strengthen the schools of Catholic southwestern Ohio.

“The report is a snapshot of the current state of Catholic school enrollment,” said Rigg. “It provides no conclusions or analysis but rather reflects data that has been collected since January 2011.” decline in “The Catholic school enrollment in the Archdiocese of Cincinnati is a reflection of national trends,” Rigg “Because of noted. changes in population, demographics, and school climate, the 5.2 million Catholic school students of the 1960s have shrunk to just over two million today. In the last 10 years, 1,755 Catholic schools have closed or consolidated nationwide. While

startling, these are also deceptive figures, because many areas of the country are seeing growth, not only with increased enrollments but the opening of new schools as well,” Rigg reported.

Locally, the Archdiocese of Cincinnati has 113 schools in 19 counties. Total enrollment stands at just under 44,000, making it the eighth largest Catholic school system in the nation. The Archdiocese of Cincinnati ranks 38th in the number of registered parishioners in Catholic churches nationwide.

Rigg told those in attendance that the report is based on the belief that “together we are stronger.”

“We need to uphold local identities yet strive for a common vision,” he said. “A greater sense of collaboration will ensure the future of our schools.”

The report has identified seven key areas that need to be addressed.

The seven areas include: • Catholic identity and faith formation • Academic excellence • Finances • Governance • Leadership • Marketing and enrollment • Strategic planning.

Rigg advised those attending that the next step will be to form task forces in each area.

These groups of six to eight people will collect more specific data, identify trends, and form conclusions. Their work will serve as a springboard for action that can

positively impact all the Catholic schools in the Archdiocese.

In the question and answer period following his presentation, Rigg assured attendees that the Catholic schools in the northern area of the Archdiocese, which includes Lehman Catholic High School and six elementary schools, including Holy Angels, have not been forgotten.

“If a Catholic school closes in urban Cincinnati, there is likely another a few blocks away that can absorb its students,” said Rigg. “This is not true in the northern area. We want very much to keep Catholic education viable for families in this region, so problem-solving here is very important to the Catholic Schools Office.”

While not able to answer specific questions about what changes could come as a result of the study, Rigg was very confident that the eventual plan will reverse some of the current disheartening trends.

“The Catholic Schools Office must take a more active role in the process,” said Rigg. “People are being priced out of Catholic schools. The Catholic School Office needs to guide financial planning and expense control, and work to partner schools with local leadership and Catholic universities who can help with funding.”

The entire report can be viewed at w w w. c a t h o l i c c i n c i n nati.org.

Students sell subs, pretzels Sidney Middle School students in the Family and Consumer Science (FCS) classes recently embarked on a fundraising venture. Students in the seventh grade FCS courses sold sub sandwiches and frozen pretzels as part of a class project.

Through the course of two weeks, students took orders from their teachers, families, neighbors and friends. In total, sales were for 610 sub sandwiches and 140 packages of frozen pretzels. Students then worked to assemble the orders themselves, using supplies ordered from Piqua Pizza Supply, Company. Then, they prepared each individual order for delivery.

Job skills learned by students through this experience include salesmanship, money operation, assembly line work,

This year a major change will take place, perhaps something as significant as around 2001.

Birthdate of: Martha Plimpton, actress; Maggie Gyllenhaal, actress; Danny Wallace, author/filmmaker.

Have parents visit schools

DR. WALLACE: Lauren and I have been best friends for a long, long time. Next month, Lauren will be 16, and

mother will understand.

DR. WALLACE: I am a 16-year-old guy. About six months ago, my girlfriend and I became sexually active. At the same time, my face started breaking out. Now, I’ve got a mild case of acne.

Is it possible that I’ve gotten acne because I’m sexually active? My friend said the two were related. — Nameless, Gary, Ind. NAMELESS: There is no connection between acne and sex. According to Dr. Jeffrey Lauber, a Southern California dermatologist, there are a lot of myths concerning acne, but there is no reason to blame a bad complexion on foods, dirt, guilt or sexual activity.

Dr. Robert Wallace welcomes questions from readers. Although he is unable to reply to all of them individually, he will answer as many as possible in this column.

The Ivy League schools provide an excellent opportunity to gain a topflight education, and students there do have active social lives. But there are also two prestigious educational institutions in your home state that you might enjoy — the University of Chicago and Knox College in Galesburg.

Both have superior academic reputations and wonderful social agendas. If possible, have your parents visit both campuses with you. I feel they will be highly impressed.

Their onset most often is between the ages of 2 and 15. Rarely does the syndrome appear after age 18.

Tourette’s is not a mental disorder. Something is askew with the brain’s wiring and its production of messenger chemicals.

Therapy to teach the child to realize when a tic is about to occur and to initiate another action that cancels it out is one form of treatment. A long list of medicines exists to help a child suppress expressing the tic.

In early adulthood, about two-thirds of Tourette patients are able to lead a life that isn’t hampered by tics.

What could possibly be I don’t know this fam- gained by punishing a

child for being born on a particular day? What you have described isn’t respect for a day that was tragic for our country; it is cruelty to an innocent child.

DEAR ABBY: My wife and I disagree about what we should do on our date nights away from our daughters.

She’s nine years younger than I am.

I don’t feel comfortable going to dance clubs. I don’t like crowds, fighting to get the bartender’s attention for a drink or dancing with 25-year-olds.

I’d prefer listening to live music, staying home and enjoying an empty house or going somewhere quiet for dinner.

My wife thinks what I like is “boring” and this is creating issues in our marriage.

I want her to be

happy and for both of us to enjoy each other’s company. We’re having a difficult time finding a compromise. I feel like I’ll never live up to her standards of what’s fun and entertaining.

The second is to find some new activities you can enjoy as a couple. Shared interests will help you grow together.

DEAR ABBY: A woman at work is having a baby. I didn’t get around to contributing to her group gift. I also didn’t sign the card or mention my omission at the time of the baby shower.

A few days later I received a thank-you note.

The mother-to-be obviously assumed I contributed.

Money is extremely tight right now. Saving the $20 I was going to spend will help my budget. I don’t think anyone picked up on my faux pas. Should I keep quiet? — CONFLICTED IN MINNESOTA DEAR CON-

FLICTED: You didn’t commit a faux pas; you chose to abstain. I see no reason to announce that you didn’t participate in the baby gift. Not contributing because it would have caused financial strain wasn’t a breach of etiquette; it was prudent. If your name wasn’t on the gift card, you misled no one.

BY CHRIS BALLARD WAPAKONETA — For the second time this season, Matt Burgbacher’s Fort Loramie Redskins and Nate Moore’s Minster Wildcats met on the gridiron.

With a 25-6 win against the Redskins in August, Moore’s squad took Harmon Field in Wapakoneta looking for another victory and more bragging rights.

“You can’t win every battle, but you can always win the war,” said Moore.

And that’s what the Wildcats did. With a 30-7 victory over Loramie, Minster is set to play Marion Local on Saturday back at Wapakoneta.

The rematch of Midwest Athletic Conference foes will kick off at 7 p.m.

Burgbacher’s squad was able to hang with Minster for most of the first quarter, but the Wildcat offense changed that. On a drive sparked by a pair of passes from junior quarterback Adam Niemeyer, Minster clawed its way downfield.

With 1:48 left in the first quarter, junior running back Korey Schultz found himself in the endzone after slipping through the Redskin defense for a 9-yard run. After failing the extra point, the Wildcats led 6-0.

On the ensuing drive, the Redskin offense took the field looking to get a score of its own. Instead, Loramie quarterback Seth Guillozet was intercepted by the Wildcats.

Numerous short runs allowed Minster to move the ball downfield. Soon enough, junior running back Troy Kauffman broke loose, as he scampered around the left side of the field on his way to a 40-yard touchdown run with 7:10 left in the second quarter.

With a successful two-point conversion pass from Niemeyer to Schultz, the Cats extended their lead to 14-0, which would be the score at halftime.

Loramie received the ball to begin the second half. They were unable to get anything going and were forced to punt.

And on the ensuing drive, the Wildcats tried to extend the lead.

After driving downfield, the Cats found themselves with the ball inside the one on

However, the simple quarterback sneak was unsuccessful as Loramie’s defense rose to occasion and stopped the Minster offense.

With the momentum now shifted in the Redskins’ direction, they still only had the ball on their own oneyard line. This would prove to be detrimental for the Skins.

On the first play of the drive, Guillozet tossed the ball to running back Delaunte Thornton. But Thornton was unable to grab the ball, and was forced to cover it up in the end zone for a safety and a 16-0 Minster lead with 5:27 left in the third quarter.

With being forced to punt the ball back to Minster, the Loramie defense was set to

defend a short field. On what turned out to be another scoring drive for the Wildcats, they had to stop at the oneyard line for the secondstraight possession.

However, Minster gave the ball to senior Daniel Gusching and he was able to pound his way into the endzone for a 23-0 with 3:19 left in the third.

On the ensuing drive, the Wildcats came up with another interception, this one by Jay Eilerman.

Less than a minute into the fourth quarter, Niemeyer scrambled out of the pocket, around the right side, and found his way to the endzone, thus giving the Cats their final score of the night with 11:12 left in the game.

The Redskins were finally able to charge their way into the endzone. With 10 seconds

to go, Loramie’s Ryan Humphreys was able to run through the middle of the Minster defense, giving the Skins their lone score of the night.

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – After celebrating a multi-million dollar renovation of its basketball home Mackey Arena on Friday night, Purdue moved the party across the street to Ross-Ade Stadium on Saturday when it beat Ohio State 26-23 in overtime.

It was a battle of flawed football teams and in the end Purdue had one fewer flaw.

Purdue (5-5, 3-3 Big Ten) put an end to Ohio State’s talk of winning its last six games, playing in the Big Ten championship game and improbably going to the Rose Bowl in a season saturated with adversity.

Penn State (8-2, 5-1 Big Ten) still leads the Big Ten’s Leaders Division. And even if the Nittany Lions lose their next two games against OSU (6-4, 3-3 Big Ten) and Wisconsin (8-2, 4-2 Big Ten), the Badgers are the more likely beneficiaries of a Penn State collapse than the Buckeyes.

Purdue jumped out to a 177 halftime when it dominated Ohio State offensively and defensively.

After trailing almost the entire game, OSU caught up at 20-20 when it drove 66 yards and scored on a 13-yard fourth-down touchdown pass from quarterback Braxton Miller to running back Jordan Hall with 55 seconds to play.

That touchdown pass was in the same corner of the same end zone as Craig Krenzel’s miraculous throw to Michael Jenkins to beat Purdue in 2002.

But there was no magic this time. Purdue defensive lineman Bruce Gaston blocked Drew Basil’s extra-point kick to keep the Buckeyes from taking the lead. It was the first miss for Basil after 28 straight successful kicks.

After Basil’s 33-yard field goal put OSU up 23-20 in overtime, backup Purdue quarterback Robert Marve sneaked one yard for the game-winning score on the Boilermakers’ first possession in OT. “It starts, obviously, with not starting that fast. We lost the field position battle at the start of the game and that put us a little behind,” Ohio State coach Luke Fickell said.

“They did a good job of putting us in a field position battle and putting our back against the wall.

“You put yourself a little behind and we’re just not that kind of football team to come from behind,” he said.

Senior center Michael Brewster said, “This is a hard one to swallow right here. It’s pretty bad. It definitely hurts.”

Senior defensive back Tyler Moeller said, “There was a roller coaster of emotions. We were ready to win the game and we didn’t get what we wanted. It’s heartbreaking.”

Saturday’s game was the third in a row in which OSU fell behind early. Indiana took an early 10-0 lead last Saturday and Wisconsin led at halftime two weeks ago.

The difference this time was that Ohio State didn’t come back to win.

Ralph Bolden rushed for 80 yards on 18 carries and Purdue quarterbacks Caleb TenBush (15 of 24) and Marve (10 of 13) combined for 234 yards.

The Boilermakers outgained OSU 363 yards to 295 overall, but in the first half they had 242 yards to only 97 for the slow-starting Buckeyes.

Phil Dawson’s 22-yard field goal attempt sailed wide left following a bounced snap from center with just over two minutes left, giving the St. Louis Rams a 13-12 win over the bungling Browns, who again failed to score a touchdown at home and couldn’t count on their steady

PITTSBURGH STEELERS running back Rashard Mendenhall (34) scores a touchdown on a 9-yard run against Cincinnati Bengals safety Chris

CINCINNATI (AP) — With the game on the line, rookie Andy Dalton couldn’t handle a little old-fashioned Pittsburgh defense.

Rashard Mendenhall ran for a pair of touchdowns Sunday, and the Steelers intercepted Dalton twice in the fourth quarter, holding on for a 24-17 victory over the upstart Cincinnati Bengals.

Pittsburgh (7-3) ended the Bengals’ fivegame winning streak and got a needed victory.

Ben Roethlisberger led long, balanced drives while thousands of Steelers fans waved Terrible Towels in the first sellout crowd of the season at Paul Brown Stadium.

Mendenhall’s 9-yard run put the Steelers’ up 24-17 late in the third quarter. Cincinnati (6-3) had a couple of late chances behind its impressive young quarterback, who handled most of what Steelers defensive coordinator Dick LeBeau threw at him.

Two TD passes Dalton had two more touchdown passes, giving him 14 overall — the most by a rookie quarterback in his first nine games since the AFLNFL merger in 1970. He

Twisted knee Dalton was 15 of 30 for 170 yards and touchdown passes of 36 yards to fellow rookie A.J. Green and 1 yard to Jermaine Gresham. Green twisted his right knee on his first-quarter catch and was limited the rest of the way, relegated to standing on the sideline for the decisive moments of the fourth quarter.

Once the Steelers stopped their self-destruction, they put it away.

The defending AFC champions needed this one. The Steelers already have been swept

by Baltimore, and a loss in Cincinnati would have left them 0-3 in division games — a bad

mark in a big tiebreaker.

They got off to another fast start, then held on in a gusty wind that made the goal posts shimmy and passes float.

Roethlisberger was 21 of 33 for 245 yards with one touchdown and an interception. He was sacked five times, matching his season high.

Roethlisberger found Jerricho Cotchery uncovered in the end zone for a 16-yard score that got thousands of Terrible Towels waving. It was the fifth time in the last six games that the Steelers reached the end zone on their opening possession.

Mendenhall ran 2 yards for a 14-0 lead on the Steelers’ next possession. At that point, Pittsburgh had a 132-8 advantage in yards.

Green’s way Dalton got the Bengals back in it by doing what he does best — throw the ball Green’s way so he can make a game-changing play.

After running away from the pass rush, Dalton threw 36 yards to Green, who went up between safeties Troy Polamalu and Ryan Clark to make the catch in the end zone.

AVONDALE, Ariz.

(AP) — Kasey Kahne snapped an 81-race winless streak Sunday by holding off championship contenders Carl Edwards and Tony Stewart at Phoenix International Raceway.

Stewart dominated the race, leading 160 of the 312 laps, but had to pit for gas with 18 laps remaining. He then had to work his way back to the front, and used a late pass of Jeff Burton to finish third, right behind Edwards.

The points margin didn’t change, and Edwards goes into next weekend’s season finale leading Stewart by three

points. Edwards is going for his first Sprint Cup championship, while Stewart is a two-time champion.

“We’re going to make him sweat it out,” Stewart said. “As far as I’m concerned, it’s a dead heat going in there. I’m pumped.

I wish I was going to Homestead tomorrow.”

So did Edwards, a two-time Homestead winner.

“This is going to be a battle. I truly believe it’s going to be a good race,” Edwards said. “That place is magical for us. I really enjoy going there.

“I hope it comes down to the fastest guy winning the race.”

It’s the closest title race since NASCAR implemented the 10-race Chase for the Sprint Cup championship in 2004.

Five-time defending NASCAR champion Jimmie Johnson finished 14th and was officially eliminated from title contention.

rookie receiver, landed awkwardly on his right leg on the play. He lay on the field for a couple of minutes and limped off with a sore right knee, but returned for the next series. He was on the sideline during the second half.

The Steelers helped the Bengals keep it close.

Bobbled pass Tight end Heath Miller bobbled a pass directly to cornerback Leon Hall for an interception that set up Mike Nugent’s 43-yard field goal, cutting it to 14-10.

Miller had another bad moment late in the first half, wiping out an apparent touchdown with an interference penalty.

Shaun Suisham’s 39yard field goal gave Pittsburgh a 17-10 halftime lead.

Hall, the Bengals’ top cornerback, hurt his left Achilles tendon on that drive and didn’t return.

Dalton pulled the Bengals even with a 1yard touchdown pass to Gresham on their first drive of the second half.

Pittsburgh then pulled off a tone-setting drive, covering 81 yards in 11 plays. Mendenhall’s 9yard run put the Steelers up 24-17 late in the third quarter.

It’s been a long road for Ohio State, too, but it just took another unexpected detour on Saturday.

Kyle Busch, racing again after NASCAR parked him at Texas last weekend for intentionally wrecking Ron Hornaday Jr., worked his way up to third before his engine failed. He finished 36th.

“It’s just devastating,” Busch said. “To go through turmoil like this, all you can do is group together and pull through it and try to persevere and move on.”

HeALthy Is Cool!

The Heart, Circulatory & Cardiovascular Systems The heart, veins and blood vessels are the main parts of the cardiovascular system. Your heart is a strong muscular pump that works day and night to send blood around your entire body.

The circulatory system is a group of organs that carries nutrients, oxygen and other important materials to all the cells in your body.

Your blood circulates throughout your body, like a river, through blood vessels attached to your heart. Those that carry blood away from your heart are called arteries, and the ones that carry blood back to your heart are call veins.

Your heart is divided into two halves, call chambers. The top chamber, called the atrium, collects blood from the veins. The bottom chamber, called the ventricle, pumps blood into the arteries, helping to refuel your body.

When you take a deep breath, the air travels directly to your lungs. Blood is pumped from your heart to your lungs, and the oxygen (from the breath you just took) mixes with it.

The blood then travels to your heart, where it is pumped back through your body, delivering oxygen and nutrients to your cells while fighting germs and removing carbon dioxide and waste.

Receives the “re-engergized” blood from your lungs.

Receives the “used” blood from your body.

Part I Sponsored by Tammy Shellhaass A.C.E. Personal Trainer & Yoga Instructor / LaBella Viagio

Each time your heart beats, it heart fills with blood. It tightens and releases, pushing the blood out. When your heart makes this movement, it’s called a contraction. Make a fist with your hand and squeeze it, release and squeeze again. This is a similar motion to the one your heart makes.

Just like any other machine, the heart can become broken or need to be fixed. That’s why it’s important to know how your heart works; so you can do your part to keep it healthy and strong.

Do you ever feel your heart racing or feel out of breath?

This is your body signaling that it needs more oxygen.

The heart pumps faster to supply your body with what it needs. Kids ages 6-15 have a normal resting heart rate of 70-100 beats per minute.

It takes less than 60 seconds for your heart to pump blood to every cell in the body.

Doctors say that kids should be physically active for at least 60 minutes a day In order to get the full benefits of exercise, move until you break a sweat.

Tammy Shellhaas is a personal trainer and yoga instructor at La Bella Viaggio, Troy Q: What types of food fuel your body?

A: I fuel my body with whole grains, fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds. I have learned that my body digests whole foods easier than processed foods, giving me the energy and endurance to train, run, and practice yoga.

Q: How did running and yoga shape the person you are today?

A: Running has increased my heart and lung capacity giving me the confidence to try other activities that challenge my body. Yoga has strengthened my body, while helping me to balance stresses in my life and connect with my true self as wife, mother, friend, and trainer.

Q: How does your family instill health and fitness into daily life?

A: When our children were in school they were involved in sports, but also enjoyed swimming, biking, etc. with friends. My husband and I walk our dogs, swim, and bike regularly. It is a great time for us to connect after a busy day. We also plan day trips and vacations that have include hiking, ziplining, swimming, and canoeing to continue trying new experiences.

Q: How often do you work out each week?

A: I workout daily for one hour, either running or yoga. When teaching a class, I will work out with the clients to perform the strength and cardio exercises for them and join in the fun!

Child Pose

Q: What is your practice philosophy?

A: Consistency is key to a healthy body. I eat healthy and schedule my workouts like I would school or a doctor’s appointment.

Quote: Yoga helps me to live a balanced life in mind, body, and spirit.
