BY TOM BARNETT tbarnett@sdnccg.com The season’s first accumulating snowfall Tuesday evening was expected to end any threat of serious area flooding from rain-swollen Shelby County streams. The National Weather Service at Wilmington said cold air working into the region should cause rain to mix with snow and become all snow between 8 p.m. and 11 p.m. Only light accumulations on grassy areas were expected. Great Miami River levels have risen steadily since Sunday in the wake of persistent rains, but Sidney city officials said Tuesday the river is expected to peak at a 9.1 foot level, far short of its 10.5 foot minor flooding stage signal. Interim City Manager Tom Judy said the city has been watching river levels closely since Sunday, and Custenborder Field, where flooding initially appears in the city, had See SNOW/Page 9A

Sidney City Council Monday night adopted ordinances increasing 2011 appropriations by more than $1.88 million and assessing the cost of demolition of a dangerous building. At nearly $1.5 million, the income tax fund receives most of the additional appropriated funds. Income tax collections are transferred from the income tax fund 80 percent to the general fund and 20 percent to the city’s capital improvement fund, limited to the amount of funding available. Other major appropriation changes include a transfer of
$158,000 from the general fund to the street fund and $118,000 for the garage/fleet operations fund to provide for higher than anticipated fuel expenses and repair costs during 2011. The second ordinance adopted Monday assesses the $1,700 cost of demolition of a detached garage at 325 Grove St. to the property’s real estate taxes. The city had declared the structure a “dangerous building” after its roof collapsed, causing partial collapse of walls. One of five proposed ordinances introduced Monday night for second readings and action at council’s Dec. 12 meeting, authorizes appropriations totaling more than
$52.6 million for the city’s 2012 budget. Total appropriations, excluding interfund transactions and agency funds, are 3.5 percent less than 2011, Finance Officer Ginger Adams explained. She said the budget is based on staffing of 207 full-time equivalents, a 15 percent decline in personnel since 2008. A 5.5 percent increase in income tax collections is projected for 2011, followed by a 4.8 percent decline in 2012 with a lower level of business collections and only a 1 percent increase in withholding payments. A second proposed ordinance would increase utility See COUNCIL/Page 9A

CALDWELL (AP) — A teen accused of murder made his first public court appearance Tuesday on charges he was part of a deadly robbery team that lured victims with a phony job ad, appearing dazed as a judge postponed a hearing on whether he should be tried as an adult. The 16-year-old boy appeared briefly in a courtroom in Noble County. A juvenile judge put off the hearing because the boy’s father, who wasn’t present, hadn’t received proper notice of new charges filed last week. The next hearing will probably happen in a couple of weeks, the judge said. The Akron teenager faces juvenile charges of aggravated murder, complicity to aggravated murder, attempted murder and complicity to at-
tempted murder in the death of one man and the shooting of another. He is a junior at Stow Munroe City Schools, about 40 miles southeast of Cleveland, and is being held at a juvenile detention center in Muskingum County. The boy wore sneakers, dark slacks, a shirt and a rain jacket as he was led into court with his hands cuffed in front him, appearing of slightly stunned. He didn’t speak during the hearing or afterward as police hustled him into a police car.

COLUMBUS (AP) — Ohio, which recently stopped going after welfare money paid out in error more than a decade ago, also may end collections of more recent overpayments because beneficiaries should not be punished for the state’s mistakes, Gov. John Kasich said. The matter is under review, Kasich told The Columbus Dispatch. “If you lay a $2,000 or $3,000

• Task 3: Assess/site aeration technologies in select GLSM sheltered areas Under Task 1, Battelle reviewed more than 70 vendor-proposed solutions for the state’s largest inland lake. Battelle worked closely with GLSMRC and ODNR to design a systematic screening process to rank these proposals. Four configurations emerged that reflect distinct lake improvement strategies arising from the vendorproposed solutions: • Reduction of external phosphorus loading by source reduction or treatment, including treatment of tributaries • Reduction of internal loading by removal or inactivation of phosphorus inventory in lake sediments • Aeration/circulation • Algaecidal agents “Battelle’s analysis of the proposed technical solutions provides a comprehensive guideline for addressing the environmental problems at Grand Lake St. Marys,” said Marty Toomajian, president of Battelle’s Energy, Environment and Material Sciences Global Business. “We appreciate this opportunity to be a trusted technical resource for Ohio.” Thomas Knapke, WOEF Development Officer, said, “Battelle worked closely with GLSM stakeholders to reach consensus on the preferred criteria to classify and rank proposed solutions. This exercise identified highest priority solutions and allowed us to start working with selected vendors for follow-up analysis and demonstrations of their proposed solutions in both the lake and its surrounding watershed.” Task 2 provided a summary of various perspectives on the environmental issues and

N.C. approves deal to bring Chiquita from Ohio RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — A North Carolina economic development panel has approved an incentives deal worth more than $22 million to bring the global headquarters of banana giant Chiquita Brands International (NYSE:CQB) from Cincinnati to Charlotte. The state Economic Investment Committee voted Tuesday to approve the deal, which includes more than $20 million in state incentives and more than $2 million from local government to bring at least 375 high-paying jobs to North Carolina by 2014. The company didn’t immediately respond to messages left seeking
comment Tuesday, but state Commerce Department spokesman Tim Crowley said the incentives deal basically formalizes the plan. “This isn’t exploring,” he said. “Essentially, it’s a done deal.” A formal announcement of the deal was expected to be made by officials including Gov. Beverly Perdue later Tuesday in Charlotte. Members of the committee said the move of Chiquita’s headquarters, along with research and development laboratories, will eventually bring a total of about 417 jobs to the area. The jobs are supposed to pay an average of about $107,000.

The body of Norfolk, Va., resident David Pauley, 51, was also found on the Noble County property, owned by a coal company and often leased to hunters. Authorities say Pauley was killed Oct. 23. Timothy Kern, 47, of Massillon, was found buried Friday near an Akron-area shopping mall. He had been shot in the head. A third body also found Friday was that of a man who was killed by a gunshot to the head, the coroner in Noble County said Tuesday. Authorities haven’t said whether that body is linked to the scheme but say it’s suspected the body is that of a man named Ralph Geiger.

Battelle identifies solutions for Grand Lake St. Marys COLUMBUS — Battelle, the world’s largest research independent and development organization and home of some of the world’s foremost environmental remediation experts, has identified about 10 solutions for mitigating the harmful blooms of algae and toxic cyanobacteria in Grand Lake St. Marys (GLSM) from a group of about 75 ideas. While none of these proposals provided a complete answer to solve the problems at the lake, Battelle is recommending further evaluation of these identified solutions.

Dr. called suicidal LOS ANGELES (AP) — A judge’s stern voice broke the silence of a Los Angeles courtroom: “Money for madness medicine,” he said before sentencing Dr. Conrad Murray to the maximum four years behind bars for Michael Jackson’s death. “Absolutely no sense of fault, and is and remains dangerous” to the community, Judge Michael Pastor said as he delivered a nearly half-hour tongue lashing that denounced Murray as a greedy, remorseless physician whose gross negligence killed the King of Pop. Pastor said Murray sold out his profession for a promised fee of $150,000 a month and accused Murray of committing a “horrific violation of trust” when he agreed to give Jackson a powerful anesthetic every night as an unorthodox cure for insomnia.

Greece gets $10.7B But rescue plan stalls BRUSSELS (AP) — Eurozone ministers sent Greece an 8 billion ($10.7 billion) Christmas rescue package Tuesday to stem an immediate cash crisis yet failed to resolve fears that the common euro currency might be doomed. Stock markets around the world rose earlier in the day, hoping that intense pressure from the bond markets would finally force the 17-nation eurozone into quicker and more robust action. But even as Italy’s borrowing costs skyrocketed to a euroera record, the 17 finance ministers only found a veneer of credibility to coat the euro’s rescue fund with more lever-
age. They failed to increase the bailout fund to match earlier predictions and kicked other major financial issues — like a closer fiscal union — over to their bosses, the EU leaders meeting next week in Brussels. The ministers did agree to use the fund to offer financial protection of 20 to 30 percent to investors who bought new bonds of troubled eurozone nations, an effort to help those countries get back to borrowing on global markets again. “We made important progress on a number of fronts,” Jean-Claude Juncker, the eurozone chief, insisted late Tuesday. “This shows our complete determination to do
whatever it takes to safeguard the financial stability of the euro.” The EU’s monetary chief Olli Rehn said eurozone nations needed to work on many financial issues at once to ease global pressure on their currency. “There is no one single silver bullet that will get us out of this crisis,” Rehn told reporters. But the question of how to beef up the leverage capacity of European Financial Stability Facility from its current 440 billion ($587 billion) to a hoped-for 1 trillion ($1.3 trillion) was not resolved. The fund is supposed to be a fire-
Bankruptcy filed DALLAS (AP) — The parent company of American Airlines filed for bankruptcy protection Tuesday, seeking relief from crushing debt caused by high fuel prices and expensive labor contracts that its competitors shed years ago. The company also replaced its CEO, and the incoming leader said American would probably cut its flight schedule “modestly” while it reorganizes. The new CEO, Thomas W. Horton, did not give specifics.
OUT OF THE BLUE Man returns stolen money SEATTLE (AP) — The manager of the Sears store in downtown Seattle says an elderly man has repaid with interest — cash the man says he stole in the late 1940s. KING-TV reports that the man hand-delivered an envelope Monday addressed to “Sears manager." Inside were a note and a $100 bill. The note said the man stole $20 to $30 from a cash register decades ago and wanted to pay back $100. Manager Gary Lorentson says he thinks the man’s conscience “has been bothering him for the past 60 years.” Store security cameras recorded the man, but Sears officials said they don’t know who he is and they won’t release the video.
wall that protects European nations from the financial chaos of their neighbors. Fund chief Klaus Regling remained vague on how beefed up it was after Tuesday’s meeting in Brussels, but assured reporters it was more than big enough to deal with Europe’s immediate financial debt problems. “To be clear, we do not expect investors to commit large amounts of money during the next few days or weeks,” Regling said. “Leverage is a process over time.” Dutch Finance Minister Jan Kees de Jager said investors had appeared less eager than originally anticipated. “It will be very difficult to reach something in the region of a trillion. Maybe half of that,” he said.
Pfizer ‘pays’ people to take Lipitor
Victim identified CHICAGO (AP) — After her older brother disappeared in 1976, Laura O’Leary suspected that the 19-year-old construction worker had probably died at the hands of John Wayne Gacy. But the family was never able to prove it. They got little help from authorities. And they couldn’t locate any dental records to compare with the skeletal remains found beneath the serial killer’s house. So O’Leary waited, clinging for more than 30 years to a few items that once belonged to William George Bundy — a bracelet she’d given him for his 18th birthday, a high school photo ID and an autographed school book. O’Leary’s worst suspicions were confirmed Tuesday, when authorities announced that Bundy was one of the eight unidentified young men found under Gacy’s home.

FEMALE IRANIAN protesters attend an anti-British demonstration in front of the British Embassy, in Tehran, Iran, Tuesday. Dozens of hard-line Iranian students stormed the British Embassy in Tehran on Tuesday, bringing down the Union Jack flag and throwing documents from windows in scenes reminiscent of the anger against Western powers after the 1979 Islamic Revolution. The mob moved into the diplomatic compound two days after Iran's parliament approved a bill that reduces diplomatic relations with Britain following London's support of recently upgraded Western sanctions on Tehran over its disputed nuclear program.
Iranian protesters storm British Embassy in Tehran TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Hard-line Iranian protesters stormed British diplomatic compounds Tuesday, hauling down the Union Jack, torching an embassy vehicle and pelting buildings with petrol bombs in what began as an apparent state-approved show of anger over the latest Western sanctions to punish Tehran for defiance over its nuclear program. The hours-long assault on the British Embassy and a residential complex for staff — in chaotic scenes reminiscent of the seizing of the U.S. Embassy in 1979 — could push already frayed diplomatic ties toward the breaking point. Iran’s parliament approved a bill Sunday to downgrade relations with Britain, one of America’s closest allies with diplomatic envoys in the Islamic Republic. Calling Tuesday’s attack “outrageous and indefensible,” British Prime Minister David Cameron said that Iran’s failure to defend the embassy
and its staff was a disgrace and would have “serious consequences.” He said all embassy staff had been accounted for and praised Britain’s ambassador to Iran for handling a “dangerous situation with calm and professionalism.” Sorting out who to blame may be difficult. The late-afternoon demonstration outside the British Embassy was organized by pro-government groups at universities and Islamic seminaries, and could not have taken place without official sanction. However, such antiWestern rallies often draw ultraconservative factions such as the basiji, a paramilitary group run by the powerful Revolutionary Guard that is directly controlled by Iran’s ruling theocracy. Riot police initially clashed with mobs in attempts to hold them back, but protesters surged past cordons and scaled the walls at the embassy complex, which they pelted with petrol bombs and
stones. Flames shot out of a sport utility vehicle parked outside the brick building and occupiers tossed papers apparently looted from an office. “Death to England!” some cried outside the compound in the first significant assault of a foreign diplomatic area in Iran in years. Inside the compound, protesters replaced the British flag with a banner in the name of 7th-century Shiite saint, Imam Hussein. One man showed a picture of Queen Elizabeth II apparently taken off a wall. Chants called for the closure of the embassy and called it a “spy den” — the same phrase used after militants stormed the U.S. Embassy in Tehran after the 1979 Islamic Revolution and held 52 hostages for 444 days. In the early moments of that siege, protesters tossed out papers from the compound and pulled down the U.S. flag. Washington and Tehran have had no diplomatic relations since then.
TRENTON, N.J. (AP) — Lipitor is so valuable that its maker, Pfizer Inc., is practically paying people to keep taking the blockbuster cholesterol medicine after generic competition hits the U.S. market this week. Pfizer has devised discounts and incentives for painsurers and tients, companies that process prescriptions that will, at least for the next six months, make the brand name drug about as cheap as or cheaper than the generics. Pfizer also has spent tens of millions of dollars this year on marketing to keep patients on Lipitor, which loses patent protection Wednesday. Normally when a drug’s patent ends, generic rivals grab nearly all its market share in a year or less, and the original maker quietly shifts focus to its newer products. Pfizer, the world’s biggest drugmaker, is not giving up that easy on the best-selling drug in history. Lipitor had peak sales of about $13 billion and still brings in nearly $11 billion a year, about a sixth of Pfizer’s revenue. With no new blockbusters to fill that hole, the company is making an unprecedented push to hang onto Lipitor revenue as long as possible. Patients seem to buy into the logic. “If I can get the name brand at the same price or for pennies more than the generic, I have no motivation to switch,” said Richard Shiekman, 59, who has been taking Lipitor for six years and credits the drug with sharply cutting his bad cholesterol. Shiekman, a wine and spirits importer from Redding, Conn., got a $4 copay card two weeks ago after his pharmacy sent an offer guaranteeing that price through December 2012. Pfizer’s strategy is cunning and could become the new norm, as most other drugmakers also face generic competition to top-selling medicines and haven’t been coming up with replacements.
Labor Department accuses Cargill of discrimination LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) — Labor officials have moved to cut off federal contracts held by one of the nation’s largest meatpackers, saying it discriminated against women and non-Asians. The U.S. Labor Department claims Cargill Meat Solutions discriminated against more than 4,000 qualified people who applied for entry-level jobs at the company’s plant in Springdale, Ark., with women less likely to be hired and Asians and Pacific Islanders unfairly favored over other races. Federal officials said Tues-
day they want to cancel Cargill’s existing government contracts and prevent future contracts until the company stops what they call discriminatory practices. Cargill Meat Solutions currently holds contracts worth more than $550 million with the U.S. Department of Defense, labor officials said. “This is an unfortunate case in which thousands of qualified workers were denied the opportunity to compete fairly for jobs in a tough economy,” said Patricia A. Shiu, director of the department’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance
Programs, in a statement. Shiu said the office is prepared to use every tool at its disposal, including canceling federal contracts, to achieve equal opportunity for workers. Cargill Meat Solutions, a subsidiary of Minneapolisbased Cargill Inc., blamed the problem on “documentation,” saying there wasn’t a satisfactory record of why it didn’t hire certain candidates. Cargill spokesman Mike Martin said minorities make up 84 percent of the 1,300 people employed at the Springdale plant and the accusation appears to be based on a “sta-
tistical analysis” of the job market rather than a review of specific applicants. “This is a situation more about documentation than it is about discrimination,” Martin said. “This allegation is based upon statistical analysis, not upon any hiring decisions that Cargill made.” In addition to the allegations of discrimination against women and non-Asians, labor officials pointed to problems with Cargill’s employment records in a complaint filed earlier this month with the Office of Administrative Law Judges.

the greater Dayton area from Greenville to Springfield and from Piqua to Springboro from March to December. Deliveries were made to Sidney and Shelby County a few years ago, but were discontinued when the economy fell flat, Pajev said. He hopes to revive an interest in organic, locally-grown produce here in the near future. The gardening season is more limited when organic methods are used, he said. Certain crops such as potatoes, green beans, tomatoes, zucchini and sweet corn require warm summer temperatures. In the fall, crops that thrive in cooler temperatures are grown. The Happy Box program does not serve commercial customers like restaurants since they depend on a constant, year-round supply of produce that cannot be grown locally. Happy Boxes come in two sizes: half bushel and full bushel. Each box contains an assortment of 15 fruits and vegetables that are harvested during the week.

The greenhouse is also used in the fall to extend the growing season for greens, sprouts, and other microgreens. Marcia Grigg presented the floral arrangement for the meeting. Patt Van Skiver announced that the Christmas Tree Festival in Lima will be from today through Dec. 4 at the Allen County Museum, 620 W. Market Street. This is the 39th year for the festival, and admission is free. At the Region 5 meeting, Grigg received this year’s Outstanding Garden Club Member award from Ohio Association of Garden Clubs. The local club’s program book from 2010-2011 received a superior rating. Members were reminded that the Christmas Flower Show will be Dec. 13 at the Dorothy Love Community Center, and will be open to the public from 1:30 to 4 p.m. Sherry Scully gave several gardening tips for November.

ditional cost. Recipes are included in each box, and additional recipes and ideas for using fresh produce are listed on the website. Unusual produce such as wheat grass, microgreens, and sunflower grass offers customers options that cannot be found even in specialty grocery stores. Sunflower grass, for example, is a crunchy and flavorful addition to salads, Pajev said. Microgreens are the tender shoots of lettuce, mustard, alfalfa, and other produce. Since Fulton Farms Organic is state-certified, no artificial pesticides, herbicides, or fertilizers are used. Compost made from leaves and wood chips and manure from horses and chickens are used to enrich the soil. Compost contains trace minerals not found in commercial and synthetic fertilizers, and those trace minerals are essential for healthy plants. Hoops with protective cloth allow sunshine and rain to nourish plants, but prevent insects, bugs, and birds from gaining easy access. Animal pests, primarily deer and raccoon, still present a challenge since the farms is not totally fenced in. Weeds

Vegetable oil spill closes Ohio 47 BY JENNIFER BUMGARNER jbumgarner@sdnccg.com
A truck from Cargill spilled a large quantity of processed vegetable oil Monday on Ohio 47 from Fourth Avenue to Wilkinson Avenue. The Sidney Department of Fire and Emergency Services was contacted by Cargill Inc. at 9:37 a.m. to report the spill. Cargill representatives determined that approximately 25 gallons of processed vegetable oil were accidentally spilled along the roadway. Sidney police also responded and closed the east and westbound traffic on Ohio 47 from Fourth Avenue to Wilkinson Avenue. According to Lori Fligge, Media For photo reprints, visit www.sidneydailynews.com
Relations director for Cargill, “A customer’s truck arrived at Cargill’s facility to pick up hydrogenated vegetable oil. After the truck left, the driver discovered that the hydrogenated vegetable oil was spilling from the truck due to a dome that had not been properly sealed before the truck arrived at Cargill’s facility.” The truck returned to Cargill’s facility for cleaning and resealing. The city of Sidney along with Cargill representative have contacted the State of Ohio EPA and have secured an outside cleanup contractor to remove the spilled material. The roadway was re-opened Monday night.

Other proposed ordinances amend sections of the city’s personnel policies, procedures and practices ordinance and amend pay classification and pay tables for nonunion employees, including part-time, management and supervisory, technology staff and Municipal Court employees, except the judge. A fifth proposed ordinance would abolish the position of city prosecutor effective Dec. 31 when the city’s new fulltime director of law assumes such the duties.

Ohio businesses invest millions in renewable energy FINDLAY — Two Ohio companies, Cooper Farms and Haviland Plastic Products, have invested millions and are moving forward with wind energy projects to control their own energy future. The installation of these multi-turbine, multi-megawatt wind projects will offset their electric usage for decades. Cooper Farms in Van Wert is wrapping up a three megawatt project that will be online by the end of the year. Once completed, two Goldwind 1.5 megawatt turbines will be the largest net metered wind project in the state of Ohio. When completed next year, the newly announced 4.5 megawatt project for Haviland Plastic Products in Haviland will replace Cooper Farms as the largest net metered wind project in Ohio. The project will consist of three 1.5 megawatt turbines installed at the plastics plant in Haviland. By offsetting their
power consumption, these wind turbines can each save their owners hundreds of thousands of dollars a year and significantly lower their long-term energy costs. This enables them to reinvest in their core business, and bring the associated benefits to their local economy and community. Neither project used any state or federal grants to fund the project other than the Investment Tax Credit. “These companies made the decision to invest in wind energy based on sound financial reasoning. They understand that electricity is a significant part of their operating costs and these projects allow them to control their long term energy costs,” said Jereme Kent, the general manager of One Energy LLC, the company responsible for development and installation of both projects. Both of these projects selected the Goldwind
turbines because they were the best turbine available for the customers. “The Goldwind direct drive technology allows for far less long-term risk for these projects. A small project cannot absorb the cost of a faulty gearbox the way the larger wind projects seem willing to do. These turbines don’t have a gearbox which means they have less moving parts to fail. “Combined with the impressive power curve of the 87 meter rotor diameter and the excellent power quality, the Goldwind turbines made the most sense for these customers,” said Kent. According to Sara Wells, the business development manager at One Energy, “As businesses see their costs increase they continue to look for ways to control and reduce their longterm costs. Our customers tend to be large electricity users who run very efficient operations and are tired of not
being able to predict or control a large part of their costs. In the right cases, a wind turbine(s) can significantly reduce a company’s reliance on utilities and is a very profitable investment. " One Energy specializes in using utility scale wind turbines in retail wind installations for large electrical consumers. The management team at One Energy has installed more than 2,000 MW of wind turbines and managed more than a billion dollars in construction on some of the largest and most complicated projects in the world. Said The wind turbines used in these two projects are Goldwind GW87-1500, 1.5 megawatt wind turbines. They have a hub height of 85 meters, and a rotor diameter of 87 meters. A typical 1.5 megawatt wind turbine produces enough energy for 300500 homes. Each turbine offsets roughly 3,000 tons of carbon dioxide each year.
Area pharmacy among top ranked NEW BREMEN — Good Neighbor Pharmacy, a network of more than 3,700 independently owned pharmacies across the United States, achieved the highest customer satisfaction ranking among chain drug stores in the J.D. Power and Associates 2011 U.S. National Pharmacy Study, making this their second consecutive year as ranking the highest, tied in 2011. Schwieterman Pharmacy is a member of the Good Neighbor Pharmacy network and has been serving the residents of West Central Ohio for more than 95 years. “This is a wonderful honor as our Good
Neighbor Pharmacy owners and operators at Schwieterman Pharmacy set themselves apart by providing superior customer service to their patients,” said Mike Cantrell, president of Good Neighbor Pharmacy. “We recognize the importance of the independently-owned community pharmacy where the pharmacist has the opportunity to help personally manage their patients’ health. We are pleased to see the patients’ recognition of the superior service for two years in a row.” The syndicated study, now in its fifth year, measures overall customer satisfaction. The
results are based on experiences and perceptions of pharmacy patients. The key factors that contributed to customer satisfaction were: prescription ordering and pick-up process; store; cost competitiveness; and interactions with non-pharmacist staff and pharmacists. The 2011 National Pharmacy Study was based on responses from more than 12,360 customers who filled a new prescription or refilled a prescription during the three months prior to the survey, which was fielded May through June 2011. “We are proud to be a member of Good Neigh-
bor Pharmacy and are thrilled to be a part of this recognition. Our ultimate goal is to provide a high level of customer service to our patients, and this is validation from our customers that they recognize the difference,” said Mark Dominik.

ANSWER: Doctors perform a liver biopsy with a needle attached to a suction device that can capture a thin piece of the organ for microscopic examination. The needle is inserted through the skin over the liver. First the doctor cleans the skin with an antiseptic and often numbs it. The procedure takes less than a minute. You return home shortly thereafter. Side effects are rare. Bleeding is possible. So is infection. Neither happens frequently. You don’t have to prepare yourself in any special way.

It doesn’t take a clairvoyant to predict that if you don’t value what you’ve got, you will lose it. DEAR ABBY: It has been a difficult year. The brother of one of my dear friends had a massive stroke and she is now his caretaker. Another friend’s 15-year-old son recently committed suicide, and a third friend’s 23year-old daughter is in the late stages of MS. I also have several friends who are dealing with cancer. I always feel lost about what to say or how to
reach out and help. How do I respond in these situations? — HURTING FOR MY FRIENDS DEAR HURTING: You don’t have to say anything profound in order to be supportive. The way to respond is to do for them what you would hope someone would do for you in similar circumstances. Call your friends regularly and keep them informed about what’s going on. Ask how they are doing. If they need to vent, listen. If you have spare time, offer to cook them a meal, do some laundry, or give them a few hours to run errands by keeping their sick relative company. I’m sure it will be appreciated. DEAR ABBY: I am a
20-year-old mother of a 1year-old boy who means the world to me. I was raped two months ago and recently learned that I am pregnant. I am scared to death of telling my mother. When my son was born, his father left for his tour of duty in Iraq and I moved in with her. She is 57 and has helped me out in every way she can since he was killed on his mission. I love my mother dearly and don’t know what I would do without her, but I am at a loss about how to tell her about this pregnancy. Your advice would be appreciated. — SCARED TO DEATH DEAR SCARED TO DEATH: Your mother
should have been told about the rape when it happened. You should have also informed the police, and received counseling and emergency contraception and medication to prevent an STD. If you haven’t seen an OB/GYN, schedule an appointment immediately to ensure that the baby you’re carrying will be born healthy. You also need to tell your mother before your pregnancy becomes obvious, so the two of you can decide whether you can afford to raise another child or if you should place the child for adoption. Please don’t wait. The longer you do, the harder the discussion will be.

Lady Redskins even mark, down Jackson FORT LORAMIE — Fort Loramie bounced back from its opening-game loss to defeat Jackson Center in the County opener for both in girls basketball action here Tuesday. The Lady Redskins evened their overall record at 1-1 and dropped Jackson to 0-2 on the season. Fort Loramie stifled Jackson with defense in the first half and that led to a 22-4 bulge at the intermission, the Lady Redskins pitching a shutout in the second quarter. “Our defense did a great job in the first half,” said Loramie coach Carla Siegel. “In the second half, they started penetrating and we didn’t do a good job covering.” The Lady Tigers outscored Loramie by two in the second half but it wasn’t enough to overcome the first-half struggles. Reggi Brandewie had 14 and Kylie Drees 11 to lead Fort Loramie. Brooke Richard of Jackson Center led all scorers with 19. “Reggi and Kylie both stepped up,” Siegel said. “They’ve played consistently in both games so far.” Jackson Center (30) Richard 9-1-19; Meyer 1-0-2; Foster 3-1-7; Zimpfer 1-0-2.

OSU bets on Meyer not bailing again RALPH D. RUSSO AP College Football Writer Ohio State needed to go big. Not even a home run would do. This coaching hire had to be a grand slam. Introducing: Urban Meyer. And the crowd goes wild. After a year that has produced almost nothing but bad news in Buckeyeville, Ohio State fans are celebrating the arrival of their new two-time national champion coach. Star coach. Elite program. What could possibly go wrong? Well, plenty. Even with Meyer’s triumphant return to his home state and the place his college career started, Ohio State is facing much uncertainty and coming off a 6-6 season, its worst since 1999. The NCAA issues that led to coach Jim Tressel being ousted and the Buckeyes job coming open have not been resolved. Scholarship losses? Bowl bans? The USC treatment? All still possible. Athletic director Gene Smith said he hopes the committee on infractions will hand down a ruling by midDecember. As long as Meyer means it when he says he’s in this for

OHIO STATE football coach Urban Meyer listens to a question during a news conference Monday in Columbus. Meyer was officially hired Monday by Ohio State. the long haul and doesn’t bail on the Buckeyes the way he did Florida, Ohio State will not stay down for long. A good coach at a strong program with a wealth of resources can overcome anything short of the death penalty. Health issues and a desire to spend more time with his family drove Meyer from coaching after the 2010 season with Florida. Now he says he has discovered the secrets to being a healthy and happy college football coach.
“I researched and I spent time with colleagues, colleagues that I respect in this profession,” he said during a news conference on campus Monday. “And I don’t want to be one of those guys that’s sleeping in the office saying I missed this, I missed that. “Believe it or not there’s lot of quality coaches out there that are still able to have a little bit of balance. I was proud I had balance for quite a while. I lost that near the end.” On the other hand, when
asked to describe his style, he said: “I think go hard. I mean, like relentless. I want a bunch of coaches that coach like their hair’s on fire, and I want a football team that goes 4 to 6 seconds of relentless effort. You do that, you have a chance to win in every game you play.” Can Meyer be as relentless as ever and make it through the six-year deal Ohio State just gave him? Florida gave him a similar deal in 2009. He quit twice after that. If Meyer cannot maintain his newfound peace of mind and body and again needs to step away from coaching, it could compound the Buckeyes’ problems. Another change at the top while the program is dealing with sanctions has the potential to bog down Ohio State for years. And at a time when Michigan is getting healthy, Wisconsin is rolling and Nebraska is settling into the Big Ten, the Buckeyes cannot afford to hit the reset button again. Smith said Ohio State is committed to helping Meyer maintain tranquility. “I will work very hard to make sure he has balance,” Smith said. “He’ll definitely go see his daughters play volleyball. There will be no excuse.
It’s unacceptable. So I am pretty dogged on making sure that he has the balance that affords him the opportunity to lead our young men.” Make no mistake, this hire was a no-brainer for Ohio State, a move that had to be made. In 10 years as a college coach with Bowling Green, Utah and Florida, Meyer is 104-23. With a record like that, do you think he would be scared off by the NCAA’s looming hammer? “I have great trust and faith in our athletic director and president,” he said. “On my own, I did a little bit of research. But at the end of the day I asked the same question you did: ‘Is there anything behind Door No. 2, 3, 4, and I feel very confident and have great trust that there’s not.’ “We’ll have to deal with the scholarship issue, and I have great trust that we will and we’ll move forward.” If Ohio State is getting the coach who took over in Gainesville, Fla., in 2005, the celebration in Columbus will continue for years. But if after a couple of years, the pressure cooker of coaching again proves too much for Meyer, the Buckeyes could be worse off than they are now.

Bengals’ Rivers out for the year CINCINNATI (AP) — Bengals linebacker Keith Rivers will miss the rest of the season because he hasn’t fully recovered from surgery on his right wrist. The former firstround draft pick had surgery last July and started the season on an injury list. The Bengals got a three-week roster exemption that allowed him to work out with the team. The exemption ended on Tuesday, and Cincinnati decided to leave him on the injury list, ruling out a return this season. Rivers was the ninth overall pick in 2008. He broke his jaw on a hit by Steelers receiver Hines Ward during the seventh game of his rookie season and didn’t return. He missed three games in 2009 with a calf injury. He played in 15 games last season despite a foot injury.
been placed on injured season reserve, his ended by a broken hand. The team put Fujita on injured reserve Tuesday, two days after he broke his right hand in two places during the second half at Cincinnati. Fujita will undergo surgery later this week. He started 10 games for Cleveland this season, missing one with a concussion. The Browns also placed defensive end Emmanuel Stephens on injured reserve with an injured chest muscle. Stephens got hurt on Sunday against the Bengals in his third straight start since replacing Jayme Mitchell at right end. Also, the Browns signed free-agent long snapper Christian Yount to replace slumping Ryan Pontbriand, waived earlier.

COLUMBUS — Hunters took 23,600 white-tailed deer on a rain-soaked Monday, according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) Division of Wildlife. The deer-gun season remains open through Sunday, then reopens for two days on, Dec. 17-18. The preliminary figures show a decrease of 39 percent from last year’s opening day total of 39,071. “Last year’s opening day harvest was exceptionally high. Even with ideal weather conditions, I’m sure this year’s harvest would have fallen short of the 2010 season simply because last year was an atypical season,” said Mike Tonkovich, ODNR, Division of Wildlife deer project leader.” He noted that the weather conditions on opening day in 2007 were so poor that the harvest was down an unprecedented 51%. Counties reporting the highest numbers of deer checked on Monday included: Coshocton1,197, Muskingun-964, Tuscarawas-896, Harrison-882, Guernsey-816, Knox-719, Belmont-629, HolmesCarroll-620, 617, and Licking-616. Approximately 420,000 hunters are expected to participate in the statewide deer-gun season. Ohio's deer population was estimated to be 750,000 prior to the start of the fall hunting seasons. Following is a list of the number of deer checked and tagged during the first day of the deer gun season Monday. The number taken last season is marcked in parentheses:

Sidney concerned with enrollment losses BY JENNIFER BUMGARNER jbumgarner@sdnccg.com A number of Shelby County school districts have been pleasantly surprised with their enrollment figures for the 2010-11 school year thus far. In Shelby County, HardinHouston Local Schools has seen the most significant increase in enrollment so far this year. The district, which currently sits at 948 students, saw an increase of 51 students from the 2010-11 school year. Superintendent Larry Claypool said the district has grown in the last year thanks to the work of the teachers and staff, as well as the new facility. “We’ve had a real nice open enrollment,” said Claypool. “I think our new building has helped and that our teachers have done a nice job of educating kids.” According to Claypool the jump in enrollment is “a little bit of everything.” “There are a lot of kindergarteners who have come in,” said Claypool. “It’s a real positive response for what we have been doing here over the last few years. Kudos to our teachers and administrators. I think our teachers have done some real good things.” In neighboring Auglaize County, the numbers were consistent with last year’s, with only minor changes in the enrollment figures. Minster Local Schools increased by three students from last year; New Bremen lost 11 students; and New Knoxville Local Schools increased by 12. Sidney — the largest school district in Shelby County —saw the largest decrease in enrollment, with 539 students open enrolling out of the district. As of the September count, the district sat at 3,625 students. It is approximately 45 fewer than last year’s number at this time, which sat at 3,670. “Despite the turnaround currently being experienced by Sidney City Schools, the one issue that remains a significant challenge and has severe financial implications for the school district is that of open enrollment, students leaving Sidney City Schools to

Quincy Council faces difficult decisions QUINCY — The village of Quincy Council opened the Nov. 15 council meeting with some of the toughest decisions to ponder for the next five years. This was the first Council meeting held after the failure of the 2-mill operating levy. Disappointment, sadness, and concern were some of the words used to express opinions from council members. Because residents did not attend council meetings to state issues against the levy, council does not have reasons for this vote outcome. Council noted some people apparently came out specifically to vote against the levy. The council has previ-

ously disclosed the loss of $11,000 worth of Local Government Funds. In 2010 the village started the year with less than $1,500. At that point the village looked at ways to infuse money and help defray the loss of the Local Government monies. The village had not ask residents for any type of income increase for more than 15 years. This levy generated $11,000 per year in revenue for the general fund. This fund supports patrolling, parks, community building, zoning, fire, squad and general operation of the village. Council cut back on park mowing, sought free ways to get park work done, did not do maintenance on the community building, completed equipment maintenance in-house when possible, cut patrolling in half and was supplemented by a free grant through the Logan County Sheriff that ends in December 2011, and made or allowed no major purchases. Due to the loss of this levy, all things will need to be reviewed and bare bone operations from the General Fund will be put into place for the 2012 appropriations. The 1 percent income tax has not
even covered the loss of the Local Government Funds so far and the additional loss of the levy will result in even further cuts and loss of services. After the major portion of the meeting was spent discussing the result of the levy council determined that a new levy will be put on the March 2012 ballot. A discussion was held as to whether an increase of millage should be considered to make up the 2012 loss of revenue. Council determined that the original 2 mill levy amount would be used for the 2012 ballot. A town hall meeting is being discussed if an interest or information is received by citizens to allow for discussions of any proposals. The village was then informed of a $400 increase in the health insurance policy per quarter beginning in December 2011. The council and fiscal officer will again be investigating ways to save money. One fourth of this increase will come from the General Fund. A problem with a foul odor on New Street was then discussed and would be handled by Mayor Dan Robinson. The odor will be
investigated and a determination of the problem made and dealt with. A discussion was held in regard to Christmas decorations. The council decided to go ahead with street lighting for Christmas due to the fact that several of the decorations were donated by private residents. However other lighting, the Christmas tree in the downtown area, and the banner program have all been stopped. Council determined that the street lighting with Christmas lights will be looked at for next year as an item to stop and save funds. Those purchasing Christmas tree ornaments are welcome to come and retrieve the ornaments if they wish. A report from the Joint Sewer Board meeting was given. A $2,550 telescoping probe will need to be ordered and replaced on the second tank. A probe was replaced on the first tank earlier. A sale on geo bags was taking place. Regular price is $1,200 and they were on sale for $900. This bags handle the stored sludge during the winter months. By saving $300 per bag if three bags were purchase enough would be saved to pay for
the third bag. Council moved to purchase three bags at the saving price. It was reported that the project to fill the old sewer plant lagoons has been started. A permit for storm water was needed to proceed and this was determined to be a E.P.A. requirement at a cost of $2,000. A Joint Sewer Plant special meeting was scheduled for Dec. 19 at 7 p.m. at the Quincy Community Building. This is a required end of year review of operations of the Joint Sewer Plant and the future plans for the 2012 fiscal year. Kirk Helmandollar, administrator, reported that he will be accepting resumes for the part-time position available in the village. These resumes will be accepted until today and can be faxed to (937) 585-5778 or emailed to quincyops@ embarqmail.com. Applicants will be interviewed after this time. This position will be funded from Street, Water and Sewer funds as allowed and all General Fund work will be handled by the administrator. The next meeting is scheduled for Dec. 6 at 7:30 p.m. in council chambers and is open to the public.

FCCLA members participate in traffic safety program FORT LORAMIE — Last month, Fort Loramie FCCLA members focused on the National FCCLA Program called F.A.C.T.S. (Families Acting for Community Traffic Safety). Fort Loramie freshmen and FCCLA Chapter President Elizabeth Pleiman decided to create an assembly called “Drive Smart” that focused on the three areas of the program. First is Think Smart, to prevent youth from driving under the influence; second, Arrive Alive, which is to promote safe driving habits, especially for less experidrivers; and enced third, Speak Up, which allows teens the empowerment to speak up for their safety. A partnership was created with Miami Valley Hospital and its Trauma and Prevention Department to develop a program that would create the greatest impact among the high school students. Last month, students were able to engage in several learning activities. There were four stations the high school students could explore: 1. Driving Simulators, in which students had to

The mock crash was created by volunteers, safety personnel and a Miami Valley Hospital CareFlight unit. maneuver a vehicle through an online simulation while distracted. 2. Watched a video from a live scene of a car accident due to texting and driving. 3. Using golf carts, students had to maneuver between cones while wearing “drunk driving goggles.” 4. Watched a “mock car crash” that was conducted by many volun-
teers from the community, Miami Valley Hospital Care Flight and among the students. Following the mock car crash scene, students heard an important message from a mother, Mary Going, who lost her son in a drunken driving accident in Montgomery County. Many of the students who watched the mock car crash felt this was
the best assembly they have ever seen, and several students were heard saying this had a huge impact on them, and they will always try to drive safely. Students who participated in the crash were Kyle Fullenkamp, Macie Popik, Jason Streib, Hope Ruhenkamp, Lauren Luthman, Becka Sticker, Cole Koogler and Elizabeth Pleiman.
Tornado sirens on hold FORT LORAMIE — The Fort Loramie Village Council members discussed tornado sirens, softener salt bids and discussed other issues during their November meeting. Tony Schmitmeyer, village administrator, told council members he has checked on the price of tornado sirens for the village. The cost ranges from $18,000 to $20,000. Schmitmeyer is checking on possible grant funds for the sirens. Council members were told Shelby County has a sign-up program for severe weather information that goes to a resident’s cell phone, landline phones or email. No action on the sirens was taken. The council discussed softener salt bids received by the village. Bids were received from Cargill Salt for $104.94 per ton for bulk southern rock. The council voted to award Cargill the oneyear contract. The council members heard the Shelby County Solid Waste District will be replacing the trailer used for recycling dropoff with a roll off. They will be installing a concrete pad and fence around the area. They are also looking at using an area off Tower Drive. Schmitmeyer would like to enlarge the area and have grass clippings taken there also. There would be a concrete pad and block fence for that area also. Council members indicated they would be in favor of the additional area. Mayor Phil Eilerman told council members he had attended the county mayors’ meeting, and it was reported that there are several new businesses locating in the villages in Shelby County, and some businesses are also expanding. The council heard a finance committee report.
The committee met to review the 2012 budget amounts. The next budget meeting will be held Dec. 5 at 7 p.m., and the budget will be finalized for the council to review. The police committee will meet in January to look at possible new vehicle options. The parks committee reported that due to scheduling and the weather, the contractor will not be able to replace the roof on the park’s shelter house
until spring. The street and sanitation committee reported the street project scheduled for this fall is now on hold due to the weather. Asphalt will not be taken care of until spring, but the trenches in the streets will be filled. The street and sanitation committee also said they will be meeting to review the street light contract. The water treatment committee reported that the contractor is finish-
ing inside work at the plant. The zoning enforcement committee issued a zoning permit to Ken Barhorst, 27 E. Park, for an addition to his home. The council heard the third reading of an ordinance amending and decreasing the Fiscal Year 2011 appropriations. The council’s next meeting will be held on Dec. 12 at 8 p.m. at the village hall.
Students attend national convention FORT LORAMIE — Eight Fort Loramie Agricultural Education students attended the recent National FFA Convention in Indianapolis, Ind. Participants were Katelyn Seger, Taylor Broerman, Brandon Barlage, Sara Meyer, Doug Seger, Amy Holthaus, Laura Poeppelman and Lindsey Pleiman. During the trip, the students participated in a variety of tours to experience all types of careers in Agriculture. Tours included trips to a Chevrolet truck manufacturing plant, Beck’s Hybrid Seeds, a Tyson meat processing plant and Fair Oaks Dairy. “Visiting Beck’s Hybrid was an awesome way to experience another side of agriculture outside our community,” first year member Lindsey Pleiman said. Members also attended
several sessions of the National Convention led by national FFA officers. The group prefaced their trip to the convention by becoming involved in community service at Agape Food Pantry in Sidney where they helped package and label items. Six former Fort Loramie FFA members, Tyler Magoto, Guy Meinerding, Beth Poeppelman, Nathan Holthaus, Kyle Poeppelman, and Jacob Meyer, received their American FFA degrees at the convention. Stacie Seger, another past FFA member, competed at the national level in public speaking after placing first at the state level. She competed with 42 other members and placed in the top 16. The Fort Loramie FFA is a satellite program of Upper Valley Career Center.
Chapter sends 9 to conference FORT LORAMIE — The Fort Loramie FFA chapter sent nine first year FFA members to the 2011 State Greenhand Conference hosted by the Versailles FFA Chapter. The delegates were Hailey Wray, Amanda Seger, Sara Maurer, Ashley Pleiman, Lindsey Pleiman, Janell Hoying, Bailey Koverman, Elizabeth Kunkler and Sara Bornhorst. The theme for this year’s conference was “First Down and Life to Go.” First year Greenhand member Janell
Hoying said, “Attending the Greenhand Conference made me aware of all the different opportunities throughout the FFA; it was also a lot of fun and a good way to meet other FFA members in the area.” Members attended several workshops to learn about opportunities in the FFA, setting goals, working together as teams and proper communication skills. They also had the opportunity to gain experience with a variety of career development events.

Whether posting or responding to an advertisement, watch out for offers to pay more than the advertised price for the item. Scammers will send a check and ask the seller to wire the excess through Western Union (possibly for courier fees). The scammer's check is fake and eventually bounces and the seller loses the wired amount. While banks and Western Union branches are trained at spotting fake checks, these types of scams are growing increasingly sophisticated and fake checks often aren't caught for weeks. Funds wired through Western Union or MoneyGram are irretrievable and virtually untraceable.

Tips on Caring for a Real Tree 1. Keep the tree in a cool, shady place like the garage or porch until ready to bring indoors to decorate. 2. Saw a thin disk (1/2 to 1 inch) off the trunk prior to placing the tree in a water-holding stand. 3. Make the cut perpendicular to the axis of the stem, NOT in a v-shape or at angles. The tree will “drink” its water through the layer between the bark and wood. If you shave the bark off of the trunk the tree will not be able to absorb water. 4. Place the tree in its water-holding stand within two hours after making the cut to the trunk. When a tree is cut it will naturally form a seal of sap over it’s stump to keep moisture in the tree. You must break the seal to allow the tree to once again “drink” the water needed to keep it fresh throughout the holidays. 5. Your stand must be able to hold enough water for the size of the tree. A good rule of thumb is a one-quart capacity for every inch of diameter of the trunk.
