State construction budget tight COLUMBUS (AP) — A budget for construction in Ohio will likely be tight, focus on repairs and leave little money for new building or local projects.

A memo to state agencies from Budget Director Tim Keen said it is “imperative” that money set aside for construction projects be limited and focus on necessary maintenance, “with an extremely high threshold that would have to be met in order to fund new construction,” The Columbus Dispatch reported.

The state can borrow up to $2.75 billion to pay for proj-

ects that have in the past cost about $1.5 billion over a twoyear period. Keen told the newspaper that the administration of Gov. John Kasich has no interest in going that high.

For every $100 million the state borrows in its construction budget, it will pay $60 million in interest over 20 years, assuming the interest rate is 5 percent. The interest rate is currently lower than 5 percent.

“It’s not responsible to commit to spend more money than you can reasonably expect to pay back in the future,”

Keen said.

The budget for state construction projects is usually passed every two years by lawmakers. It typically covers projects at state prisons, universities, school and other state agencies, in addition to road, bridge and water projects.

The money also funds a number of local projects, such as parks, museums and zoos.

A more frugal approach could see less cash set aside for that kind of construction or maintenance.

“Those projects are nice to have, but not necessities,”

Keen said. “We ought to take care of the necessities first.

These are not core responsibilities of the state.”

Columbus Mayor Michael Colman’s spokesman Dan Williamson called the lack of local funds “disappointing.”

“We certainly understand the balance, that there is not as much money as you like, but these things do play a role in stimulating the economy.”

Some lawmakers agree, saying now is not the time to cut state construction money with Ohio unemployment still around 9 percent.

Soggy squirrel A squirrel didn’t let rain stop him from foraging in an alley along South Main Avenue Sunday. The rain rolled in overnight Saturday and persisted throughout Sunday, with periodic heavy downpours interspersed with light sprinkles. Farmers worked feverishly Saturday evening in the dark before the rains began again. This year’s harvest has already been stopped several times due to exceptionally wet weather. The rain is expected to continue at least through Tuesday.

Roger R. Heitkamp, 65, of Fort Loramie, died Friday at Miami Valley Hospital, Dayton, of injuries received when an Anna School bus struck his truck at the intersection of Fort Loramie-Swanders and Hardin-Wapakoneta roads Oct. 25.

The school bus driver, Deborah A. Nagel, 54, of Anna, was cited by Shelby County Sheriff ’s deputies for a stop sign violation at the intersection.

According to reports, Nagel did not see the truck approaching the intersection when she entered it and struck the vehicle traveling

west on Fort Loramie Swanders Road. Both vehicles went off the roadway and came to rest in a field on the northwest corner of the intersection.

Anna Superintendent Andy Bixler said following the accident that Nagel was a veteran school bus driver with more than 20 years of experience and was known for being “caring, cautious and conservative.”

The nine children on board the bus at the time of the crash were not injured.

Heitkamp’s obituary appears on page 3 of today’s issue.

Father: Son answered ad to provide for his boys

BY ANDY BROWNFIELD COLUMBUS (AP) — The father of an Ohio man found dead after answering a Craigslist help-wanted ad said Sunday his son sought the job in order to better provide for his three boys.

Timothy Kern, 47, of Massilon was found dead Friday, buried near an Akron, Ohio, shopping mall. The Summit County Medical Examiner’s office said he was shot in the head.

Kern’s father, Jack Kern, told The Associated Press on Sunday that his son was employed “here and there” and responded to the ad for a farmhand job because he wanted the best for his own sons, ages 17, 18, and 28.

Jack Kern said the ad

offered $300 a week to tend more than 680 acres, similar to a Craigslist ad that police say lured another man to his death.

“That’s all he (Timothy) wanted — to give his kids a better life,” Jack Kern said. “This job seemed like a great opportunity. He was really upbeat about the whole thing.”

Authorities say a Craigslist ad was used to lure Norfolk, Va., resident David Pauley, 51, to Ohio, apparently with the intent of robbing him. Pauley was found dead in a rural area of Noble County, 90 miles south of Akron. A South Carolina man also answered the ad and was shot Nov. 6 before escaping, police say. Two suspects are in custody and a judge has issued a gag order in the case.

IN THIS Sept. 26 photo, the new Vallourec seamless pipe mill can be seen rising up on the horizon in the industrial valley of Girard. The $650 million V&M Star plant, located along a desolate stretch that once was a showcase for American industry, will open by year’s end and produce seamless steel pipes for drilling in shale formations.

Ohio shale drilling spurs job hopes in Rust Belt

BY THOMAS J. SHEERAN Associated Press YOUNGSTOWN (AP) — A new industrial plant opening in northeast Ohio by year’s end has generated hope that a surge in oil and natural gas drilling will re-

vive Rust Belt manufacturing.

The $650 million V&M Star mill in Youngstown is located along a desolate stretch that once was a showcase for American industry.

The plant will produce seamless steel

pipes for tapping shale bringing formations, 350 new jobs to Youngstown, a city struggling with 11 percent unemployment.

Vast stores of natural gas in the Marcellus and Utica shale formations have set off a rush for leases and permits to

drill in a multi-state region.

Similar revival hopes are alive in Lorain, Ohio, where U.S. Steel will add 100 jobs with a $100 million upgrade. The plant makes seamless pipe for the construction, oil-gas exploration and production industries.

Casino jobseekers learn dealing FINDLAY (AP) — Dozens of unemployed and other workers hoping to get a spot behind a blackjack table when casinos come to Ohio are working to learn the craft of dealing and preparing for required auditions.

More than 100 people gathered at class Monday, practicing at a makeshift casino at Owens Community College in northwest Ohio, where Penn National Gaming is training the potential employees for work in the Hollywood Casino it plans to open next year in Toledo.

The Blade of Toledo reports that Jose Pardo had worked 23 years for Cooper-Standard Automotive when he lost his job earlier this month as the company moved hose production from a plant in Bowling Green.

“It’s a lot easier on that side than it is on this side,” he said, gesturing first to the players’ seats and then to the dealer’s spot.

Penn National Gaming expects to hire about 500 dealers at the Toledo site for poker, blackjack, craps and other games, said Neal Perry, director of table games for the casino. He said the casino has received about 3,500 applications for the jobs, expected to pay $16 to $22 an hour including tips.

The casino is among four approved by voters in 2009. Overall, the casinos in Toledo, Cleveland Cincinnati and Columbus are expected to provide more than 6,000 jobs.

Those at the Toledo casino training had made it through two screenings to get ac-

cepted to the five-week dealing course, which began about three weeks ago at the college in Findlay. They audition for the jobs in December.

“We’re all on pins and needles,” said Jessica Israel of Toledo, who lost her job as a manager at an orthodontist’s office four months ago. “Playing blackjack and dealing it are completely different.”

Perry said the casino plans three more blackjack dealer courses by spring.

“If they don’t get it in practice, they’ll never make it at audition,” he said.

Among those taking the current course are a mother stay-at-home hoping to re-enter the work force, a delivery man looking for a better job, and Jeff Robinson, a former Jeep assembly

complex worker who took a severance package several years ago.

Robinson, of Sylvania Township, said he had gambled recreationally and was now learning the complexities, nuances and different payouts of blackjack.

He said he taught his 7-year-old twins the game so he could practice dealing to them.

Perry said the casino also plans to hire experienced dealers at the Toledo site, some from other Penn National casinos and some from other casinos.

“Nobody has a job right now,” he said. “Experienced dealers will have to audition too.

They may not be the right fit for us here.” ___ Information from: The Blade, http://www.toledoblade.com/

hood.

The appeals court agreed with a district court’s ruling that an effective defense could have humanized Johnson’s case during sentencing by presenting information about physical abuse and drug use in his family. The appeals ruling noted that Johnson’s attorneys did such a poor job in the penalty phase of Johnson’s trial that he deserved a new trial — but only to determine his sentence. conviction “The stands. His guilt or innocence has been decided.

It’s not an issue here,” said Will Welsh, one of Johnson’s new attorneys.

Hamilton County Prosecutor Joe Deters and his chief assistant won the conviction and death sentence 1998 and will try again to send Johnson to death row.

The most difficult part of the new trial for both sides will be not revealing that Johnson was sentenced to death for the killing, the newspaper reported. Jurors will have to accept that Johnson was convicted of capital murder, but they cannot be told that he was sentenced to die.

Jurors must base their decision on what they hear in the new trial.

Johnson, now 33, lived close to Marks and her husband, Norman.

Authorities said Johnson slipped into the couple’s house on Nov. 12, 1997, while Shanon Marks was getting ready for work on her third wedding anniversary.

Authorities said Johnson beat Marks with the bat 13 times. The last

three blows were to her head and likely were intended to keep her from identifying her attacker, the newspaper reported.

Marks’ husband found her body 13 hours later.

When police interviewed her neighbors, they noticed Johnson was wearing the same shoes as those that left prints near Marks’ body.

Johnson later gave police three taped confessions.

Johnson’s new attorneys will focus on his childhood in an attempt to gain sympathy from jurors and to persuade them to recommend life in prison instead of the death penalty.

“His mother was absolutely horrendous, Welsh said. “She was drug- and alcohol-addicted and was prostituting herself across the country at age 13. It’s so bad, I couldn’t make it up if I tried.”

Johnson lived with his grandmother, who also was an alcoholic, and was subjected to constant beatings and neglect, Welsh said.

“The damage to this child was immeasurable,” Welsh said.

The prosecutor said the damage done to Marks was worse.

Deters said the assistant coroner on the case told him he that “out of the 7,000 autopsies he’s done, he’ll never forget this” because of Marks’ innocence and because of the brutality involved.

“I can’t imagine what it was like for her family,” Deters said. ___ Information from: The Cincinnati Enquirer, http://www.enquirer.com

BUDGET “This is a time that we need dollars put into our communities to spur economic development and job creation, rather than funneling it to private corporations through JobsOhio,” said Democrat Lakewood Sen. Michael Skindell.

JobsOhio is Kasich’s semi-private economic development engine designed in hopes of spurring job growth in the state.

NATION/WORLD BRIEFLY

Stand-ins scarce MANCHESTER, N.H. (AP) — In previous presidential races, candidates usually would send standins when they couldn’t make it to New Hampshire, Iowa and other early voting states.

But in the crowded 2012 GOP contest, those surrogates have been scarce, largely because the field of candidates was slow to develop.

New Hampshire has seen a bit more activity than Iowa and South Carolina, with former Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Ridge campaigning for Jon Huntsman and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie filling in for Mitt Romney.

Tom Rath, a Romney adviser, says surrogates are of limited use in states like New Hampshire, where voters are accustomed to close encounters with the candidates.

Arab League to vote on sanctions BEIRUT (AP) — The Arab League was set to vote Sunday on sweeping sanctions against Syria, as Damascus slammed the move as a betrayal of Arab solidarity.

Syria is facing mounting international pressure to end the bloody crackdown on the uprising against President Bashar Assad, which the U.N. says has killed more than 3,500 people since March.

The European Union and the United States have imposed several rounds of sanctions against Assad and his regime, including a ban on the import of Syrian oil.

The 22-nation Arab League will vote Sunday on whether to impose its own sanctions, which could include halting cooperation with Syria’s central bank and stopping flights to the country. If the Arab League goes ahead with the sanctions, it will be a huge blow for a regime that considers itself a powerhouse of Arab nationalism.

The state-owned AlThawra newspaper ran a front-page headline Sunday saying the Arab League is calling for “economic and commercial sanctions targeting the Syrian people.”

The measure is “unprecedented and contradicts the rules of Arab cooperation,” the paper said.

OUT OF THE BLUE

Death most fowl PENN HILLS, Pa. (AP) — A wild turkey smashed through a plate glass window at an empty western Pennsylvania restaurant and ended up where millions of its fellow gobblers did on Thanksgiving: a dining room.

Penn Hills police Officer Bernard Sestili tells the WTAE-TV the feathered fowl didn’t survive impact when it barreled into the dining room of the Eat’n Park in Penn Hills on Thursday afternoon. The restaurant was closed at the time.

Sestili says he responded when the building’s alarm went off.

He suspects the turkey may have been roosting in a nearby tree when it “got up this morning and went for his morning flight and flew into the window.”

Mo. student details arrest in Cairo

BY KELLY DASCHLE Associated Press An American student arrested with two others during protests in Cairo said they were threatened with guns, hit and forced to lie for hours in a near-fetal position in the dark with their hands behind their backs.

“They said if we moved at all, even an inch, they would shoot us. They were behind us with guns,” said Derrik Sweeney, a 19-year-old Georgetown University student from Jefferson City, Mo. The students flew home Saturday after an Egyptian court ordered their release two days earlier. The three had been spending the semester studying abroad at American University in Cairo, which is near Tahrir Square, where a new wave of protests began more than a week ago.

Protesters have been calling for the nation’s military leaders to hand power back to a civilian government before the landmark parliamentary elections scheduled to start Monday. At least 43 protesters have been killed since Nov. 19 and 2,000 wounded, most of them in Cairo.

Sweeney spoke to The Associated Press by telephone after family greeted him at the airport in St. Louis and

DERRIK SWEENEY (center) gets hugs from his father Kevin Sweeney (left) and sister Ashley after Derrik arrived at Lambert-St. Louis International Airport Saturday in St. Louis.

Sweeney and two other American students were arrested on the roof of a university building near Tahrir Square in Cairo last Sunday, accused of throwing firebombs at security forces fighting with protesters. then again Sunday by Skype.

He said the evening of his arrest on Nov. 20 started peacefully in the square, which was “abuzz with ideas of democracy and freedom.”

He and other students later wandered through the streets, ending up in a large group of protesters gathered outside the Interior Ministry.

“There were two tanks and a lot of policemen with weapons, and while these protesters were yelling and a lot of chants, and I think some of them in front of us might have

been throwing stones,” he said. “Eventually the police shot back something.”

The students fled to an area that seemed calmer. There, they were approached by four or five “plain clothes Egyptians” who offered to lead them to safety, Sweeney said. Instead, they found themselves being taken into custody, beaten and forced to lay still in the dark for about six hours.

The night in detention was “probably the scariest night of my life ever,” he said, adding, “I was not sure I was going to live.”

Sweeney was arrested along with Luke Gates, a 21year-old Indiana University student from Bloomington, Ind., and Gregory Porter, a 19year-old Drexel University student from Glenside, Pa. Egyptian officials said they arrested the three on the roof of a university building and accused them of throwing firebombs at security forces fighting with protesters. But Sweeney said he and the other Americans “never did anything to hurt anyone,” weren’t ever on the roof and never handled or threw explosives.

He said the students’ treatment improved dramatically after the first night. He was able to speak with a U.S. Embassy official, his mother and a lawyer. He said he denied the accusations during what he called proper questioning

by Egyptian authorities.

“There was really marked treatment between the first night and the next three nights or however long it was,” Sweeney said. “The first night, it was kind of rough.

They were hitting us; they were saying they were going to shoot us and they were putting us in really uncomfortable positions. But after that first night, we were treated in a just manner … we were given food when we needed and it was OK.”

Afghan officials claim Pakistani gunfire

BY SEBASTIAN ABBOT Associated Press ISLAMABAD (AP) — Afghanistan officials claimed Sunday that Afghan and NATO forces were retaliating for gunfire from two Pakistani army bases when they called in airstrikes that killed 24 Pakistani soldiers, adding a layer of complexity to episode that has further strained Pakistan’s ties with the United States.

The account challenged Pakistan’s claim that the strikes were unprovoked.

The attack Saturday near the Afghan-Pakistani border aroused popular anger in Pakistan and added tension to the U.S.-Pakistani relationship, which has been under pressure since the secret U.S. raid inside Pakistan that killed Osama bin Laden in May. Pakistan has closed its western border to trucks delivering supplies to coalition troops in Afghanistan, demanded that the U.S. abandon an air base inside Pakistan and said it will review its cooperation with the U.S. and NATO. A complete breakdown in the relationship between the United States and Pakistan is considered unlikely. Pakistan relies on billions of dollars in American aid, and the U.S. needs Pakistan to push Afghan insurgents to participate in peace talks.

Afghanistan’s assertions about the attack muddy the efforts to determine what hap-

The Afghan officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issue, said it was unclear who fired on Afghan and NATO forces, which were conducting a joint operation before dawn Saturday.

They said the fire came from the direction of the two Pakistani army posts along the border that were later hit in the airstrikes.

NATO has said it is investigating, but it has not questioned the Pakistani claim that 24 soldiers were killed.

All airstrikes are approved at a higher command level than the troops on the ground.

Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen offered his deepest condolences and said the coalition was committed to working with Pakistan to “avoid such tragedies in the future.”

“We have a joint interest in the fight against cross-border terrorism and in ensuring that Afghanistan does not once again become a safehaven for terrorists,” Rasmussen said in Brussels.

NATO officials have complained that insurgents fire from across the poorly defined frontier, often from positions close to Pakistani soldiers, who have been accused of tolerating or supporting them.

The U.S. plans its own investigation. Two U.S. senators called Sunday for harder line on Pakistan.

Sen. Jon Kyl, R-Ariz., said Pakistan must understand that American aid depends on Pakistani cooperation. Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., said Pakistan’s moves to punish coalition forces for the airstrikes are more evidence that the U.S. should get its troops out of the region.

On Sunday, Pakistani soldiers received the coffins of the victims from army helicopters and prayed over them.

The coffins were draped with the green and white Pakistani flag.

The dead included an army major and another senior officer. The chief of the Pakistani army and regional political leaders attended the funerals.

“The attack was unprovoked and indiscriminate,” said army spokesman Maj. Gen. Athar Abbas. “There was no reason for it. Map references of all our border posts have been passed to NATO a number of times.”

There were several protests around Pakistan, including in Karachi, where about 500 Islamists rallied outside the U.S. Consulate.

Aging sagebrush rebel keeps up fight

BY JOHN MILLER Associated Press NAMPA, Idaho (AP) — A 75-year-old lawyer who fought private property rights battles alongside Idaho U.S. Rep. Helen Chenoweth and her Nevada rancher husband Wayne Hage in the 1990s is still cultivating the Sagebrush Rebellion’s roots.

Fred Kelly Grant has been slowed by age and heart surgery, but he’s in demand from counties — and tea partyers who attend his $150-perperson seminars — as conservative elements in the West’s continue to clash with the federal government.

California’s Siskiyou County is paying Grant $10,000 to help block removal of four Klamath River dams.

Montana and Idaho counties have enlisted him to trim hated wolf populations and thwart U.S. Forest Service road closures.

What Grant preaches is “coordination,” the theory that

federal agencies by law must deal with local governments when revising their public land travel plans or protecting endangered species. Grant insists he’s not reviving the discredited “county supremacy” movement, in which a Nevada county once threatened federal employees with prosecution.

“This is not nullification,” simply ignoring federal mandates, he told The Associated Press. “Coordination is working within the system to try and make the system work.”

Hage, who died in 2006, epitomized the Sagebrush Rebellion by battling the federal government over water rights.

Chenoweth, killed the same year in a car crash, worried that federal agents would arrive aboard black helicopters to enforce the Endangered Species Act. Grant, a former federal prosecutor in Maryland who once helped guide Stewards of the Range, the Hage family’s property-rights nonprofit, started his own foundation

last year. He, a son and daughter-in-law now give seminars, often to tea party groups, on how locals can demand coordination when Washington, D.C. isn’t listening.

Grant insists he’s no radical, but he’s not above fanning the flames. In 2009, he told a crowd angry about road closures in California’s Shasta-Trinity National Forest that he once dismissed those who claimed the United Nations and U.S. government sought to eliminate people from public land as crackpots who saw “a communist behind every sagebrush.”

“I thought it was a conspiratorial theory,” Grant said, in video footage. “It’s not.”

Some environmentalists are dubious of Grant’s “coordination,” saying it’s so much fodder on the conservative rubber-chicken circuit for a restive Western audience long unhappy with federal management of vast tracts of public land.

“He’s saying a county should adopt its own plan, and

the federal government is obliged to make sure its plan is consistent with the local plan,” said Jon Marvel, Western Watersheds Project director in Hailey, Idaho. “It’s nullification by another name.”

Grant insists federal courts side with him.

In 2001, a U.S. District Court judge in Utah ordered the Bureau of Land Management to remove wild horses resettled in Uintah County, in part because the agency didn’t coordinate with local officials.

“Coordination does not mean the county gets its way,” Grant said. “What it means is, the federal government should be discussing policy with the county, and considering alternatives.”

He cites Idaho’s Owyhee County, where he says coordination between locals and the BLM beginning in 1990 resolved grazing disputes — and led to ranchers’ support for 500,000 acres of federally protected wilderness created here in 2009.

That means I won’t be attending any school dances this year. I understand that you are a former high school principal. Were parents permitted to be dance chaperones at your high school? If the answer is no, please explain why.

— Shelby, Philadelphia, Pa. SHELBY: Our school district ruled that all chaperones at school dances must be statecredentialed teachers, counselors and adminis-

trators. This is because they have the authority to deal with problems that might arise. It wouldn’t be wise to place parents in this role.

But parents were welcome to stop by for a short visit as guests. The maximum length was 15 minutes.

This parent-dance program was well received by parents and students. Most parents stopped by for a minute or two just to say hello, and their students enjoyed seeing them come and enjoyed seeing them leave.

Father of Sept. 11 stewardess to speak at Piqua library PIQUA — The author of “Losing Alicia: A Father’s Journey,” John L. Titus, is scheduled for a book signing at the Piqua Public Library Dec. 5.

A meet-and-greet session will begin at 6:30 p.m. After remarks by Titus at 7 p.m., the book signing will follow until 8:30 p.m.

During the evening, local professional artists of the Piqua Visual Artists Society will display their art work at the library. Some pieces will be available for purchase.

Titus’s daughter, Alicia, was a flight attendant on United Airlines Flight 175 during the terrorist attack which struck New York City on Sept. 11, 2001. He visited Piqua in September as a speaker at the city’s remembrance of the event. His book chronicles the struggle of a parent’s worst fear: the loss

JOHN TITUS, with his daughter, Alicia, prior to Sept. 11. of a child, and the acceptance that only can be made possible with faith and love.

Since Alicia’s death, Titus has become a strong advocate for peace and social justice.

The retired college administrator now is a political activist and has been busy writing articles, doing documentaries, and giving talks on these and related issues all over the United States, Canada, and Italy.

He has spoken at uni-

versities, colleges, churches, the American Muslin Voice Convention, the Department of Peace Conference, the Congressional Committee to Reintroduce the Department of Peace Bill, and the Global Nonviolence Conference.

Titus is a current member and former steering committee member of September 11th Families for a Peaceful Tomorrow. This organization of Sept. 11 victims’ family members and friends officially formed in February 2002 to speak out on the atrocities of war — especially civilian casualties — to promote transparency in government decisions about the Sept.

11 attack, to encourage alternatives to war, and to further effects toward peace and justice.

This event is sponsored by the Friends of the Piqua Public Library.

The public is invited.

November 28, 1911 Cracksmen early yesterday morning drilled the safe of the New Bremen Banking Co. and reached the inner compartment where $3,500 was within their reach and then fled without the money. They escaped with $40 taken from the outer compartment of the safe. The burglars had prepared for their work by turning out the lights of the town and sprinkling pepper about the bank, so that bloodhounds could not take up their tracks. It is believed the men were frightened away before finishing their job.

——— The Phythian Sisters held their annual election of officers last evening and also enjoyed a supper and social hour.

The following officers were elected for the coming year: Mrs. Agnes Boyer, P.C.; Mrs. Myrtle Boughton, M.E.C.; Mrs. Louise Heiser, E.S.; Mrs. Clara Wagoner, E.J.; Mrs. Fern Maxwell, M.; Miss Rose Alfele, M. of R.C.; Miss Callie Zeigler, M. of F.; Mrs. Ed Kaser, H.G.; Mrs. Charles Williamson, Port.; Miss Elsie Maurer, Rep. to G.T.; Mrs. Kate Gilfillen, Altar, and Mrs. Jud Fry, trustee.

Donohue — No. 1202, Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475. Enclose a check or money order (no cash) for $4.75 U.S./$6 Can. with the recipient’s printed name and address. Please allow four weeks for delivery.

DEAR DR. DONOHUE: Can hand sanitizer kill all harmful bacteria? Can the bacteria in probiotics kill off harmful bacteria? Can probiotics cure a strep throat? — D.D. ANSWER: By “hand sanitizer,” do you mean waterless hand cleaners? Most of them incorporate ethyl alcohol or isopropyl alcohol. They kill many bacteria, but not all harmful ones.

Nothing short of sterilization does that.

Frequent hand-washing with soap and water for 20 seconds is an effective way of eliminating many germs, including cold and flu viruses. You don’t have to use soap that has antibacterial agents in it.

The water doesn’t have to be hot; cool water is fine. Dry your hands with a paper, disposable towel and turn off the faucets in a public rest-

room with a paper towel.

Probiotics are products that contain viable bacteria. The bacteria most often incorporated are Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus. They restore a more normal bacterial population to the colon and lessen the multiplication of harmful bacteria. They even produce material that can possibly kill off some of the bad bacteria.

Probiotics do not cure a strep throat.

DEAR DR. DONOHUE: When is the better time to take medicines: a.m. or p.m.? Is it better to take them with water or juice? I have been told conflicting answers.

When reading a newspaper, I begin sneezing.

Could it be something in the ink? — S.R. ANSWER: If the prescribing doctor or the pharmacist hasn’t specified a particular time, you can take medicine when it’s most convenient for you.

You’ll never go wrong taking medicine with water.

I’m not sure what causes your sneezes when reading a newspaper. I guess it could be the ink.

November 28, 1936 Sidney merchants formally announced the opening of the Christmas shopping season last evening when the electric lights about the courthouse tower were turned on for the first time this year. The lights are the same ones used last year when they were purchased by the Sidney Merchants Association. From any approach to Sidney in the evening, the lights are spotted as the first indication and make a most attractive setting as they appear like a gigantic Christmas tree.

——— Notice was issued today by Archer W. liquidating Richards, trustee of the Prima Mfg. Co., calling a meeting of the creditors of the company in Dayton on Dec. 11. The step was taken following a court order adjudicating the company bankrupt and ordering the appointment of a liquidating trustee. One of the things to be considered

at the meeting is an offer by the Crosley Radio Corp. of Cincinnati to purchase the assets of the present company. In view of the excellent record made by the trustee over the past 22 months, it is expected that several other offers will be made.

———

50 Years November 28, 1961 Friday will make the opening of Fred’s Laundry and Dry Cleaners located at 126 W. Poplar Street, just west of the Sidney Theater.

Operated by Fred and Joan Edsell both of Piqua, the new establishment is prepared to serve residents of the area with their laundry and dry cleaning needs. Mr. and Mrs. Edsell and their two children plan to establish their home in Sidney as soon as suitable housing can be arranged.

——— Shelby County commissioners announced today the appointment of John Wesbecher, 52, 218 Grove Street, Sidney, as inner custodian of the courthouse.

Wesbecher will succeed Roger Musser, 861 S. Ohio Ave., who resigned recently to accept a supervisory position at the Musser, Inc..

25 Years November 28, 1986 The Russia High School Homecoming Court candidates have been announced. The queen and king will be chosen from the following senior students: Jackie Grillot, Jo Seger, Amy York, Thomas Barhorst, Thomas Francis and Ed Monnin. The students will vote to determine the winner.

——— The Shelby County Snow Queen Pageant is underway. The talent contest was held yesterday. Contestants this year include Kelly Knoth, Kelli Anderson and Tina Rose. There was plenty of singing and dancing on the stage.

Sudoku puzzles also appear on the Sidney Daily News Web site at www.sidneydailynews.com.

I earn a good living and have a tidy nest egg, and I’m concerned that Jeff ’s irresponsibility and his father’s enabling will put a comfortable retirement for us in jeopardy. I feel like this is my business, too — but I don’t want to come between father and son.

What’s your advice? — THRIFTY IN WYOMING

DEAR THRIFTY: Your concerns are legitimate. Your fiance is doing his son no favors by footing the bills for his irresponsible behavior. But on some level he already knows that and may be doing it because he feels guilty about the divorce from Jeff ’s mother.

Before marrying your fiance, discuss this with an attorney to be sure your interests will be protected. The assets

you accumulated before the marriage should be kept separate, and there should be a clear understanding that any monies you earn will not benefit his son, who appears to be a bottomless pit.

Dear Abby is written

Public Art Art isn’t just found in museums. Art can be found in (and on) many public buildings and spaces, such as parks, plazas, libraries and government buildings.

Like all art, public statues, murals, memorials, art installations and archi-

Graphic Designer: Scarlett Smith

tecture are subject to criticism and study as people decide whether or not they like them. Visual art is like food — it’s entirely possible to dislike a certain piece of “good” art.

Vietnam Memorial When the Vietnam Veterans Memorial opened on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., in 1982, it was not popular with everyone. In fact, some

people disliked it a great deal.

It is a simple, V-shaped wall of black granite built into the earth. It bears the names of the 58,000 Americans who were killed or went missing in the war.

As you walk along it, the wall of names grows taller and taller, and you can see yourself reflected in the black stone as you read. As you walk along the second leg of the “V,” the wall gets smaller and smaller and smaller and you find yourself back on the Mall, headed to a massive white monument (either the Washington Monument or the Lincoln Memorial).

Some veterans and civilians felt that the memorial didn’t properly honor the sacrifices of those who had served. It was too dark, stark, ominous, they said, and unlike its classical neighbors on the Mall.

But soon, the simple emotional beauty of this piece of public art made it more visited than any of its neighbors. Its form reflects the nature of the war itself — starting small, growing huge and then winding down.

People still leave flowers, letters and personal mementos there to pay their respects to those who served.

What is art?

Did You Know?

Art is created for many reasons.

Artists create works of art to: • Make us feel an emotion • To tell a story • Make a point • Awaken our senses Art includes paintings, photographs, sculpture, movies, plays, music, dance, fashion, books, poetry and design.

Talk about art you have seen in these different categories.

What kinds of art do you and your family enjoy?

What kinds would you like to discover or learn more about?

Take a look at visual arts.

Visual artists make many, many choices. Some might include: What should be shown? Should it look realistic or not? Should it be real or imagined?

What colors, shapes and textures should be used?

Though these two sculptures are from different artists from different cultures and eras, they seem to show the same thing: a person deep in thought.

Rodin’s “Thinker”

Art can be beautiful.

Art can be frightening.

Art can be provocative.

Art can tell a story.

Art can lighten our mood or make us feel better.

Art can make us think.

Art can change our lives.

Artful Things To Do Van Gogh’s “Starry Night”

What is the mood of the painting? Is it scary?

Sad? Joyful? Wondrous? Comforting?

Disorienting? Hot? Cold?

Do different parts of the painting make you feel different ways?

Renoir’s “Luncheon of the Boating Party”

“The Thinker of Cernavoda”

Study the two sculptures. Look closely at the shapes and how the artists present the figures.

How are they similar? How are they different?

“The Thinker of Cernavoda” is a fired-clay sculpture found in the European country of Romania. It’s thought to be about 7,000 years old.

Auguste Rodin’s bronze and marble “The Thinker” was first seen publicly in 1902, in Paris, France.

Does this information surprise you in any way?

Why or why not?

Art makes us feel good.

Vincent Van Gogh only sold one painting during his lifetime (1853-1890), but now he is one of the most famous painters of all.

Study his “Starry Night” for a few minutes.

Does it show a still moment or does it seem to be moving? Why?

Art tells stories.

Meet an Odd Boating party.

Pierre Auguste Renoir’s “Luncheon of the Boating Party” tells a story that doesn’t quite connect. Study if for a moment.

What sort of day are the boaters having?

Is it a warm day?

Are these people formal or informal with each other? What is the mood of the painting?

Now, look at the man with his back to us in the center of the picture. At whom does he appear to be looking? At whom is his companion looking?

Continue to following the path of looks of the people in the picture. Where does this path end up?

Only two characters are actually looking at each other. Who are they?

create — to cause to come into being, as something unique

UM ends futility against Bucks 40-34 verdict stops OSU’s 7-year streak

BY JIM NAVEAU jnaveau@limanews.com ANN ARBOR, Mich. — The pass, much like Ohio State’s hopes and dreams for this football season, was just out of reach.

Ohio State’s seven-year win streak over Michigan came to an end, 40-34, on Saturday at Michigan Stadium.

But for one unbelievable, almost giddy moment it looked like freshman quarterback Braxton Miller had found wide receiver DeVier Posey behind Michigan’s defense with what could turn into the game-winning score with less than two minutes to play.

“I thought he had it,” Miller said.

Posey was just as sure.

Just as sure that he had it and was going to the end zone.

“To be honest, I thought it was over,” he said.

But the only over in this AP Photo/Carlos Osorio play was that the pass was OHIO STATE quarterback Braxton Miller (5) runs for a 19-yard touchdown during the second slightly overthrown. And a quarter of an NCAA college football game against Michigan in Ann Arbor, Mich., Saturday. minute later, when Courtney Avery intercepted Miller, the Buckeyes’ longest win streak ever against their biggest rival was over.

Michigan’s last win against OSU before Saturday was 3521 in 2003.

Michigan junior quarterback Denard Robinson was electrifying all day on Saturday and Miller wasn’t far behind.

Robinson completed 14 of 17 passes for 167 yards and three touchdowns and rushed for 170 yards and two more scores.

Miller hit 14 of 25 passes for career-best 235 yards and two touchdowns and gained 100 yards on 16 carries and scored a touchdown.

For Miller, competing with Robinson wasn’t even a sideshow. “I wasn’t paying attention to that. I was just trying to win the game.”

Tailback Fitzgerald Toussaint added 120 yards rushing on 20 carries for Michigan.

Michigan (10-2, 6-2 Big Ten) added another chapter to an already earlier-thanexpected return from the nightmare of the Rich RoAP Photo/Carlos Osorio driguez era, when it went 15OHIO STATE wide receiver Corey Brown, right, celebrates his touchdown with teammate De- 22 over the last three Vier Posey (8) during the first quarter of an NCAA college football game against Michigan in seasons.

headed to a BCS bowl, possibly the Sugar Bowl after beating OSU. Ohio State (6-6, 3-5 Big Ten) ended its regular season with a solid effort, but like every time but one when they faced a quality opponent, the Buckeyes came out on the wrong end of the score.

OSU came out aggressively and scored on a 54-yard touchdown pass from Miller to Corey Brown just over two minutes into the game.

Michigan got the next three scores — on a 41-yard touchdown run by Robinson, a safety and a 26-yard TD pass to Junior Hemingway — to go up 16-7 with three minutes left in the third quarter.

But Ohio State wasn’t about to let its streak slip away without a fight.

The Buckeyes scored 10 unanswered points to go up 17-16, fell behind 23-17, then scored again to make it 24-23 at halftime.

Michigan led the entire second half after it drove 80 yards in 11 plays, the last 20 yards on a Robinson pass to Martavious Odoms, on its opening possession of the second half to go ahead 3024.

But with the help of a replay review that overturned an apparent Michigan touchdown with five minutes to play, OSU still had a chance in the game’s final minute.

The deep shot to Posey was its best chance. In fact, the Buckeyes’ last two plays turned chaotic.

On third down and six yards to go at its his own 36yard line, Miller spiked the ball to stop the clock. OSU was out of timeouts and he said someone on the coaching staff had called for the spike.

Then on the next play, Miller was intercepted by Avery.

That set off a long-awaited celebration by Michigan’s fans.

“This game is more than a win,” Michigan defensive end Ryan Van Bergen said after the Wolverines had freed themselves from the losing streak.

“It’s bigger than that.”

For Ohio State, it was smaller than that. It was like it was an 8 by 10 photo that looked a lot like the rest of the season.

“It’s about Ohio State-Michigan,” he said, pounding the table in front of him.

It should come as no shock that Meyer appears on the fast track to being hired at Ohio State, though if he doesn’t take it, this would not be the first time he declined a “dream” job.

Ask Notre Dame about that.

And there is no shock that Fickell is not entirely happy with how the last week has gone.

If there was a shocker last week in Ohio State coaching news, it was that Tressel addressed the team on Friday before they left for Michigan.

“How did you guys find out about that?” senior center Mike Brewster said when asked about Tressel’s visit.

“He just popped in. It was very brief,” Brewster said. “It was emotional for some guys, myself included.

It was like you didn’t skip a beat. It was like you blinked and you were like, ‘Was everything a nightmare?’ ” So what did Tressel talk about? Familiar things, Brewster said.

“Same thing he used to say all the time that we’d be bored about and now we couldn’t wait to hear it. Relentless defense, opportunistic mistake-free offense and superior special teams. That’s the formula,” Brewster said.

“Coach Tress is someone I had so much love for. He’s an unbelievable coach, and unbelievable human being to be around. He taught me so much about football and life. So to get to see him again and get a few words, I think it definitely got up pumped up,” he said.

Many people think Meyer is the person to get OSU’s bruised football program pumped up again. We appear close to finding out if wants to take that challenge and many millions of dollars for doing it.

Anna breezes to another Tip-Off tournament title NEW BREMEN — The championship game of the New Bremen TipOff Tournament took place Friday night, if Saturday's consolation and championship games were any indication.

Both were lopsided contests, with New Knoxville beating Van Buren 59-11 in the consolation game, and the Anna Lady Rockets routing New Bremen 67-21 in the championship.

New Knoxville rolled to a 16-2 lead after one quarter and stretched it to 36-6 at the half in coasting to its first win of the season. Paige Lehman scored nine points in the opening quarter and went on to finish with 19. Tiana Heidt added 13 and Haley Horstman chipped in 12.

Van Buren was just 1for-9 from the line.

The Lady Rangers are 1-1 and will be back in action Thursday at home against Versailles in Midwest Athletic Conference play.

• In the championship, Anna also used a huge opening quarter to roll to an easy win and go to 2-0 on the season.

Bengals rally to edge Browns 23-20 CINCINNATI (AP) — A.J. Green did it to the Browns again.

The rookie receiver made a leaping catch for a 51-yard gain in the final minute Sunday, setting up a field goal that rallied the Cincinnati Bengals to a 23-20 victory over self-destructive Cleveland.

The surprising Bengals (7-4) stayed right behind Baltimore and Pittsburgh in the AFC North with another second-half comeback forged by their rookie big-play combination.

Andy Dalton threw a high down-the-middle pass that Green went way above the defenders to grab. Green was run out of bounds at the 2, and the Browns (4-7) forced Cincinnati to settle for Mike Nugent’s 26yard field goal with 38 seconds left ‚Äî the Bengals’ first lead of the game.

Cincinnati’s turnaround season started in Cleveland, where the Browns failed to line up promptly and were surprised by a quick snap that led to Green’s un-

CLEVELAND BROWNS quarterback Colt McCoy (12) is hit by Cincinnati Bengals defensive end Robert Geathers in the first half of an NFL football game, Sunday in Cincinnati. contested 41-yard touchdown catch.

That one was easy.

This one was amazing.

Green, who sat out a loss at Baltimore last Sunday with a bruised right knee, set up the winning kick with his catch-and-run. The firstround draft pick had three catches for 110

yards. The Browns and Steelers had been the only teams in the NFL that hadn’t allowed a receiving 100-yard game.

For the second time in three games, a botched snap cost Cleveland an opportunity to take a late lead. Phil Dawson was short on a 55-yard

try with 1:51 left after the snap skipped along the ground, giving Cincinnati its last chance.

It was a familiar outcome for the intrastate rivalry — Cincinnati has won 12 of the past 15 games and six of seven at Paul Brown Stadium. Only 48,260

showed up at the 65,500seat stadium to see a game decided by a bad snap and a great catch.

Cleveland was buoyed by the return of running back Peyton Hillis, who missed the past six games with a strained left hamstring. He carried 19 times for 65 yards, helping the Browns put together long drives.

The Browns scored 20 points for only the second time this season and were in position to take the late lead when the bad snap resulted in Dawson’s short kick.

He’d already connected from 32 and 54 yards, his longest field goal of the season.

It was a stunning gaffe. The Browns had a chance to take the late lead two games ago against St. Louis, but a bad snap scuttled Dawson’s 22-yard field goal with 2:13 left and sent Cleveland to a 13-12 loss.

Dalton had the challenge of bringing the Bengals back in the second half against an AFC North opponent for the

third week in a row.

They came up just short against Pittsburgh and Baltimore, but remained in the thick of the playoff competition by pulling one out against Cleveland.

Down 20-10 late in the third quarter on Sunday, Dalton helped the Bengals get the rematch. He was 21 of 31 for 270 yards and his 16th touchdown pass of the season, topping Greg Cook for the Bengals rookie record. Cedric Benson carried 21 times for 106 yards, his second 100-yard game against the Browns.

Colt McCoy was 16 of 34 for 151 yards with a pair of touchdowns. His fourth-down pass was knocked away at midfield with 10 seconds to go, sealing Cincinnati’s win.

McCoy’s 24-yard pass to Jordan Norwood capped Cleveland’s opening drive and gave the Browns their first touchdown in the first quarter all season. They’d managed a total of nine points in the opening quarter until then.

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. (AP) — Seven years of tantalizing potential that often led to frustrating results at Illinois ended Sunday when the school Zook fired coach Ron Zook following his team’s historic late-season collapse.

Illinois started the season 6-0 but finished with a six-game losing streak, ending with a 277 defeat at Minnesota on Saturday.

According to STATS, LLC, the Illini are the first FBS team to open the regular-season with six straight wins, and close it with six losses in a row.

Zook took the Illini to their first Rose Bowl since the 1980s and last season led the team to its first bowl win in more than a decade. The strong start this season had fans thinking they could contend in the Big Ten, and the Illini could still go to a bowl game.

The program has had back-to-back bowl appearances since 1991 and ‘92.

But Zook also had five losing seasons in Illinois — finishing with a 34-51 record — and leaves the Illini in a year in which their only Big Ten wins were against Northwest-

ern and Indiana.

Athletic Director Mike Thomas said Zook left Illinois football better than he found it. But Illinois, Thomas said, needs a new leader who can build a team more suited to competing in the Big Ten. “To me, really, you have to have success within your own conference,” Thomas told reporters. “The last seven years we won roughly 32 percent of our Big Ten games,” adding that Illinois had a winning record against only Indiana over that period.

Thomas said he met with Zook Sunday morning and informed the coach of his decision.

At his own news conference, Zook didn’t take questions, but thanked a room packed with players, family and friends for what he called seven special seasons, occasionally stopping to gather himself.

“I think our program is very close. I really do,” the 57-year-old Zook said. “We just didn’t finish a few games here and there.”

Most of the roughly two-dozen players gathered at Zook’s news conference declined questions, but senior linebacker Trulon Henry said the team believed it let Zook down through the losing streak.

“I’d jump off a cliff for him,” said Henry.”
